DRAM wound too tight??????? Neo 865PE Board Advice needed
RapidShare Account-ID: 14334524
Password: QfYkRMdt
First - My computer is normally rock solid with no problems.
I turned my computer on today and it would not even boot to the BIOS.
It was if there was no power going into it but then it started to boot for about 1 second
then died. I tried again and the same thing kept happening.
I opened it up, checked the Main Board, reseated the graphics card and power cables.
This time it booted but before the bios kicked in it gave the following message:
'DRAM is wound too tight'.
I have not changed anything in the BIOS as I would not know what to change but
it then booted to the BIOS and under the power settings it says the following:
Dynamic Over Clocking = Private
Performance Mode = Slow
CPU Ratio Selection = Locked
DRAM Frequency = Auto
Spread Spectrum = Disabled
Adjust CPU Bus Clock(mhz) = 200
DDR Clock (mhz) = 333
Adjust AGP/PCI Clock (mhz) = 66.66/33.33
CPU VCORE Adjust = No
DDR Power Voltage = 2.50v
?GP Power Voltage = 1.50v
If anyone can make any suggestions I would be most appreciative as I cannot
afford to loose my computer or any data that is on it.
I'm worried that the Main Board maybe failing or maybe the RAM or PSU?
In case it matters this is what is in my system.
MSI Neo 865PE Board
AMIBIOS V3.31a
2 matched pairs of Kingston HyperX RAM KHX2700K2/1G
Intel P4 3Ghz CPU
Intel ICH5R SSATA
Port 1 = Crucial Solid State Drive (Main OS Drive)
Port 2 = Lite-On SATA CD-RW
IDE Port 1 = 300GB Samsung HD
Promise SATA
Port 1 = WD Caviar Green 1.5TB HD
Port 2 = WD Raptor 150GB HD
IDE Port = Sony CD-RW
Power Supply = Q-Tec 550 Watt Dual Fan Gold
USB Mouse/Keyboard
All housed in a 19" Rack Mount Server case.
Thanks in advance.
thanks for the replys everyone.
I take it then that my problem is the PSU?
I am shocked that you rate the Q-Tec one so badly, it is the one that was supplied
with my computer and has worked with out a problem for about 3 years or so now.
I cant take a chance with it so its going in the bin.
Having done some checking I have located a trusted stockest who has
Corsair VX 550W ATX Power Supply (CMPSU-550VXUK) [CMPSU-550VXUK]
or
Corsair TX 650W ATX SLi Compliant Power Supply (CMPSU-650TXUK) [CMPSU-650TXUK]
for just ubder £80 in the UK.
Are either of these any good and is one better for me than the other considering what
main board I have. Also the new CPU has got to fit in my computer case so its physical size must match the old one.
I am not a modder so this is all a bit alien to me so any tips or hints much appreciated.
Thanks again

DRAM timing too tightly - reload timing
Hi
I've been through all previous threads on this subject, but cannot find a solution suitable for myself.
I'd been using my pc without problems for several weeks until last night when it failed to boot up, hanging on the pre-BIOS screen. I rebooted and got the message "DRAM is too tightly so reload timing". It then hangs again when a key is pressed and I'm unable to boot in Safe Mode.
I've definitely not altered any settings and not overclocked, so can't see why this is suddenly happening.
Any ideas?A couple days ago my computer starting doing the same thing. I am not at it currently so I can't get the required specs.
The first time I just started to transfer a CD onto my harddrive and my computer auto rebooted. Didn't see any odd messages so I just let it reboot. I restarted all apps I had running and started the CD transfer again and it rebooted. This time I saw the "Dram timing too tightly loaded" message in the bios. I went and checked my bios settings and they seemed to be ok. DRAM set to auto, DDR timing set to "By SPD" and DDR voltage 2.5V. I did bump the DDR voltage up to 2.7V but I am still getting the same message.
I tried changing all these setting to what other threads have been recommending but still didn't work.
CAS# Latency:
RAS# Precharge:
RAS to CAS Delay:

Burst Length:
Before this started my computer has been running perfectly for months. I just don't understand how it can start flaking out all of a sudden since I have not done any changes. And the reboots don't seem to be consistent other then when I am running a lot of memory intensive apps.

Occasionally when I am viewing a DVD or listening to music with Windows Media Player and I do something else, the computer shuts down. If I turn it on immediately, it won't work. Give it about 20 minutes, and the BIOS screen will pop up. It will say DRAM loaded too tightly and ask me to press a key. The last two times my system shut off, I haven't gotten that message. Is it the same problem and what do I do to correct it?

What is your DDR Voltage set to? I know that I had to up mine a bit for stability. 2.65V seems to be the "sweet spot" on this board. I have tried everything from 2.5 to 2.9V and 2.65 seems to be the best all around for stability and performance...
Also check DOT Settings as it may be trying to OC your memory which can cause timing issues if they are set too tight as well as your memory performance settings (i.e. Turbo, Ultra-Turbo) -
hello,
i need some help.
I have been using this system for 1 year and 4 months now. A few days ago, when I booted up my computer, the message "DRAM timing is too tightly. Press any key or DEL to reset DRAM timing." appeared before it started detecting hard drive and CD-ROMS. I pressed a key and the computer continued as normal.
This morning, the problem got worse. I started my PC but my screen remained blank. The HDD light and CD-ROM light came on but the power light remained off. I turned off the PC by holding the power switch. When i turned it on again, it was the same situation but the power light started blinking. I turned off the PSU power from my wall socket and waitied about 1 minute. I turned it on again and the power light started blinking again but slower this time. I repeated the on/off steps by using the power button 2-3times. Finally, I tried pressing a few keys on my keyboard and the power light stopped blinking and remained green. I turned the PC on/off again and this time, it succeded in booting up.
And the DRAM messge appeared again.
I was like trying to start a car on a cold day... only after turning the key a few times did the engine start....
I've no idea what is happening here.
My specs are:
Intel P4 3.0C GHZ L2 512KB, FSB 800MHZ, 478 PIN
2x PC400 512MB DDR CL2.5

Lifehalohi,
i smelled a burning smell from my power supply. i am replacing my power supply. i don't know if it was the cause of the dram timing thing.
i'll post here again after i replace my power supply. Thanks!!

When the comp boots up: press the 'delete' key to enter BIOS
Move the marker to 'Advanced Chipset Features' and press enter
Set 'Configure SDRAM Timing by SPD' setting to [Enabled] and press enter press enter
Press F10, and you woulg get the question 'Save changes and EXIT?', Answer 'YES* and press enter.
If this would'nt help, post back here. -
MSI 875P FISR - 'DRAM timing is too tightly so reload timing'
'DRAM timing is too tightly so reload timing'
I recently got this message upon bootup. I have an MSI 875 P and I have 2 Gigs of Kingston RAM. I am wondering what would cause this message to come up out of nowhere. I was had the DRAM Timing by SPD Enabled and since that didn't seem to work I disabled it. I set the CAS, RAS, and CAS to RAS to 3 - 3 - 3 respectivly as listed below on the manufacturers web page located at:
http://www.ec.kingston.com/ecom/configurator/partsinfo.asp?ktcpartno=KVR400X64C3AK2/2G
My Current Settings Are:
CAS# Latency - 3 Clocks
RAS# Precharge - 3 Clocks
RAS# to CAS# Delay - 3 Clocks
Precharge Delay - 8 Clocks
Burst Lenght - 4
DRAM Integrity Mode - Disabled
--MY RAM--
RAM: KVR400X64C3AK2/2Gl
Description: 2GB Kit 400MHz DDR PC3200 DIMM 3-3-3
Specifications: Standard 128M X 64 Non-ECC 400MHz 184-pin Unbuffered DIMM (SDRAM-DDR, 2.6V, CL3, Gold) (Datasheet)
--Motherboard Manual DRAM Info--
Configure DRAM Timing by SPD
Selects whether DRAM timing is controlled by the SPD (Serial Presence
Detect) EEPROM on the DRAM module. Setting to Enabled enables the
following fields automatically to be determined by BIOS based on the
configurations on the SPD. Selecting Disabled allows users to configure
these fields manually.
DRAM CAS# Latency
This controls the timing delay (in clock cycles) before SDRAM starts
a read command after receiving it. Settings: 2, 2.5 (clocks). 2 (clocks)
increases the system performance the most while 2.5 (clocks) provides
the most stable performance.
DRAM RAS# Precharge
This item controls the number of cycles for Row Address Strobe
(RAS) to be allowed to precharge. If insufficient time is allowed for
the RAS to accumulate its charge before DRAM refresh, refreshing
may be incomplete and DRAM may fail to retain data. This item applies
only when synchronous DRAM is installed in the system. Available
settings: 2 clocks, 3 clocks, 4 clocks.
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay
When DRAM is refreshed, both rows and columns are addressed
separately. This setup item allows you to determine the timing of the
transition from RAS (row address strobe) to CAS (column address
strobe). The less the clock cycles, the faster the DRAM performance.
Setting options: 2 clocks, 3 clocks, 4 clocks.
DRAM Precharge Delay
This setting controls the precharge delay, which determines the timing
delay for DRAM precharge. Settings: 5 clocks, 6 clocks, 7 clocks, 8
clocks.
DRAM Burst Length
This setting allows you to set the size of Burst-Length for DRAM.
Bursting feature is a technique that DRAM itself predicts the address
of the next memory location to be accessed after the first address is
accessed. To use the feature, you need to define the burst length,
which is the actual length of burst plus the starting address and
allows internal address counter to properly generate the next memory
location. The bigger the size, the faster the DRAM performance.
Available settings: 4, 8.
DRAM Integrity Mode
Select ECC (Error-Checking & Correcting Code) or Disabled according
to the type of DRAM installed.
I am wondering if something else could be interfearing with the ram such as the AGP slot/card or if this is strictly a RAM issue. I have not seen this message before. Are my current settings what they should be for this RAM? Should I be asking Kingston this instead of coming here?Thanks for the response.
My current DDR Power Voltage is set to 2.70.
Do you think 2.75 would be better? I'm wondering why you suggest 2.7 or 2.75, now that I look at the RAM specs it actually says 2.6 as posted above. I am not trying to be a jerk, I am just curious and want to know more!
My AGP Power Voltage is set to 1.50. I have a BFG Geforce 6800 GT OC 256 MB. I'm wondering if changing this a bit might help my graphics card as well? Perhaps 1.55 or 1.60V? -
Problem with K9A2 NEO-F board...resets after post
First time post here, sorry if this subject has already been went over. Upgrading my board, chip, RAM, and video card. Went with a dual core Windsor 2.8, 4 gig of Geil ddr2 800 ram, a MSI 8800GT video card and the K9A2 NEO-F board...the board sees the chip and counts up all the ram and finds the one SATA drive i installed. The post goes ok and windows starts to load and then a screen flashes too fast too read, and it resets back to the post again. The BIOS is the weird part. I go in to set the boot sequence, and all available bootable items are [bracketed] and any item selected is "disabled in the corresponding menu". It wont allow me to choose any bootable item; the floppy, the cdrom or the hard drive. Anyway, i have no idea why this board wont boot to my winxp drive from my old config computer. Any ideas anyone please?
??? HUH?
You can't do that! Read this carefully: you can NOT use one installation on another computer. Nor can you swap boards/cpu in an existing machine and expect Windows to work. If you want the OS to run, install the hardware you want and install Windows on the machine you want it to run on. Installing Windows using an old "bare" PC and then put that HDD into another machine will NOT work.
Now, please do a fresh Windows install on the PC you want it on. I cannot explain it more clearly... -
Lightning port too tight - is that normal?
I'm satisfied with my iPad Air, but I've noticed one thing that bothers me - a lot. When I insert the lightning connector, it seems way too tight. I have to jam it in much harder than with the iPad Mini.
This is a new unit. Should I demand a replacement? Am I doing something wrong?Both pieces of advice make sense.
However, my iPad Mini and iPad 4 use the Lightning connector easily; the iPad Air almost needs a wrench. I'm still in the first days of ownership, and I can only imagine how many connectors I'll damage over time. I'll demand an exchange - or, if possible, a fix. -
I have a PT8 neo-v board with a pentium 4 2.8 (800) processor and 512MB ram for which I am trying to use Speedfan to control the speed of the CPU fan. I have set speedfan up as instructed and it shows the speed percentage altering correctly as the CPU temperature changes but the fan speed does not change and is always the same at approximately 2200 RPM. I have no other fan connected to the board so it must be reading the CPU fan speed.
Does the board require any modifications in the bios to allow speedfan to alter the CPU fan speed or does this board not allow any alterations of the CPU fan speed?
I have a power supply that is rated at 30 amps on the 12 volt line but I noticed that the temperature graph on speedfan would suddenly drop by 5 degrees and then return immediately to the previous level. I logged the voltages, fan speed against the CPU temperature but there was no alterations in these when the temperature dropped. I am wondering wether to return this board for another make of board as I also have problems running the ram at DDR333 and these problems may be related to each other.Hi,
The 865PE Neo2-P Platinum Edition, is a great mainboard, slightly dearer than the PT8
Link to spex of mainboard.

Quite a few people have upgraded to this mainboard from the PT8** series mainboard, the setup is easier.
Del -
Are the RAM and CPU "linked" on the Neo-F board? By which I mean if I OC the CPU, does it push the RAM as well? If so, how do I "un-link" them so I can OC just the CPU? I assume it would be somewhere in the BIOS, but cannot find it.
Thanks!

Thanks for the info!
If the DRAM frequency is changed, can the CPU FSB be increased beyond 333MHz without OC-ing the memory?
It depends on what frequencies are available in the BIOS. Anything lower than 1:1 would allow that, such as 4:5. -

PBook G4 not closing - clutch too tight?
I recently replaced the heatsink/fan assembly on a Powerbook G4 using step by step instructions from a reputable website. I had no problem with the deconstruction of the powerbook, but when putting things back together, I've run into a problem with the hinge. It's as though there is something impeding the closure of the powerbook, but I don't see anything. When you look at the clutch on the powerbook as it closes, it appears that the right side is trying to lift up out of the case. Any ideas as to what could be wrong with this? Thanks.
I found the solution - it was the fact that the hinge assembly was fastened too tightly. It wasn't the clutch, but the other piece holding the hinge to the frame. By loosening those four screws, I was able to get the PB to close again. I wanted to make sure I answered this to ensure that others might be able to find a solution to this if they ran into this problem. Thanks!

New DM1-4010 E-450 - USB slots on right side too tight
Just got a new DM1-4010 E-450. Loving it so far but the usb ports on the right side are super tight. I tried plugging in my wireless mouse receiver and it just wouldn't go in (didn't force it). The left side slot fits fine. When I look inside the socket, the wafers on the right are visibly a bit thicker than the other side. I didn't try any other usb peripherals so I don't know if they will be any better. My only thought was that maybe there is a thickness difference between powered and non powered sockets but I don't ever remember having this problem before. Any info would be helpful.
ThanksI just received my DM1 and have the exact same problem - ports on the right are too tight, the one on the left is fine. Did you find any solution?

RMBP hinge became way too tight
My Retina macbook pro 13" (late 2013) was somehow damaged, I believe, because the hinge became too tight. It made cracking noise if I let the screen keep position for even a few seconds and then moved it. Out of stupidity, I sprayed some WD-40 into the slots between plastic clutch and aluminium so that it would reach the hinge. But this made the situation much worse! Now I can't open my Macbook with 1 hand, and the effort required is so big I'm afraid to bend the screen eventually.
What do I do?Bad move. You may have permanently damaged it, and it is not likely to be covered by AppleCare. Should have just taken it into service without putting WD40 on it. Also if it has too much give, you could in theory end up fraying the cables going through it. I've heard of way too many people ending up with damaged inverter cables and solid lines crisscrossing the screen.

Buying a K8N Neo 4 Platinum mobo - need some answers
Hi,
First post here, so I should say I did a search and did actually read the stickys.
Like I said, I'm getting the MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum and need to know:
1. Does it support NCQ?
2. Can I use "PDP SYSTEMS Memory Dual Channel Kit 184-Pin 1GB (512MBx2) DDR PC-3200, Model PDC1G3200LLK" with it?
(And have it working @ 2-3-2-5-T1 Dual Channel like it should without OC)
2.1 Can I use 4 dimms of this memory without going down to 333mhz?
3. I'll also get a 6600GT, DVD-RAM,DVD-ROM, 200GB HD - which PSU I should go with?
I wanted to get a TT410W, but heard I should go with "Enermax 350W EG365P-VE FMA 20/24Pin Power Supply" because it gives higher 12V rail power.
I dont plan on doing OC
Thanks in advance for your answers, and sorry about my english.Quote from: kctay on 10-March-05, 02:14:51
Chrisss,
I think that Tiresmoke's point is that your statements aren't productive, I don't see a history of you trying to ask any of the well versed vetrans here for any help regarding the stability of your system, or inherent problems with the mobo in question. You also don't even list the components that make up your system in your signature which might allow someone to help you without you even asking a valid question.
Statements like this; "I have so many stability issues it's not even funny. I have not overvlocked anything and the PC crashes randomly." simply aren't meaningful without knowing the pertenent facst surrounding your issues. Furthermore, the problems you have may have nothing whatsoever to do with the motherboard.
Sixth, this is a good motherboard for your stated needs, I run the SLI version and have nothing but positive things to say about it. I did extensive research before buying this product, and it really paid off, this is a great motherboard.
Actually yes i did ask: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=75700.0 But only one person helped me. It could be that the SLI version is more stable. Just read the posts. there are a lot of people with issues with the K8N Neo4 Platinum. Not too many with the SLI. So it's not only me. -
Just upgraded and iPhoto said it has to upgrade library but keeps freezing. Have tried it too many times now and I need those photos ASAP HELP!!
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
Regards
TD
