Freezing up with x58 Pro and G.Skill DDR3-1600 RAM

I just recently updated to BIOS version 7.1. When I tried to use the "Extreme Memory Profile" or XMP in order to have the mainboard recognize the RAM at it's rated speed, my system became unstable and quickly freezes after boot up. I have G.Skill DDR3-1500 PC3-12800 (CL9-9-9-24) RAM, Core i7 920, MSI x58 Pro. The only setting that recognizes my memory and allows my computer to run with stability is when the RAM is "underclocked" to 1333Mhz. Any tips on how I can get the mainboard to run my memory at it's rated 1600Mhz speed without my computer crashing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi panetrez & welcome to the forum. Welcome to the world of 'rated' but in reality slower chipped memory modules. In many tests, RAM at 1066 against RAM at 1333, or even 1600, was only around 1-2 FPS different. System performance I believe, gets it's biggest boost from CPU speed & the quality of the VGA card.
The 'sticky' on initial 1066 memory speed is correct with Eclipse & Platinum, but the X58 Pro, if 1333 or higher rated memory is installed, does set the RAM at 1333. This was proven on two recent builds I was involved with. One had 1333, & the other 1600, & both ran at 1333 at boot-up. Both of them also initiated with 6.4GT.
If you would still like to run your RAM at 1600. Start a new thread in the 'Overclocking & Modders Corner' of the forum. Some adjustments in the bios will be required.

I need to reinstall my computer, how do I deal with Premiere pro and After effects?

Hello,
As my question states I need to reinstall my computer (laptop) and I'm not quite sure on how to deal with Premiere pro and After effects.
I am thinking that I need to do some sort of backup and save my projects and footage on a sepparate drive.
If I reinstall my computer, install my creative suit production premium, and move back all of my projects and footage, won't I have to re-link every single clip?
I am currently workning on several different projects and having to re-link everything is something I don't even want to think about, that would take me days if not weeks.
Another option on my mind would be to use Creative cloud. I do have the free version but I have never used it even once before and I'm not quite sure what the purpose of the cloud is and if this is a way to use it.
I have no idea how to go about this computer reinstalation without either loosing tons of work or having to re-link every single clip used.
I am videoediting only as a hobby so I have no experience working with other people and sharing projects or the like, wich is my understanding of what the cloud is for.
Any and all help would be grealty appreciated, I know this is probably really easy but ever since i got my Suit I haven't reinstalled, upgraded och changed my computer so I am just clueless as to how to go about this.
I have Creative suit production premium, I also have the free Creative cloud.
It is only Premiere pro and After effects that I am using and am worried about.
Thank you for any help.

Problem with Adobe Pro and Reader on terminal server

Hi,
We have have a Terminal Server environment with Adobe Pro and Reader. We have security for Adobe Pro, so only certain user has access to Adobe Pro and all users has access to Adobe Reader.
Some users receive many email with pdf's attachments in Outlook and need to print these attachments. They use the Outlook function to print email and attachment automatically. The users who has access to Adobe Pro can print attachment automatically with no problem.
The problem is user who only have access to Adobe Reader. The user can't print attachment automatically with the email, only the email is printed. But, they can open attachment and print with Adobe Reader. But, it's impossible to open each attachment because there are so many.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
So if I understand correctly,
1. You have installed Acrobat Pro & Reader on a Terminal server.
2. You have created a security group in your Active Directory Users & Computers for users having access to Acrobat
3. You have set permissions on C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\Acrobat\Acrotray.exe on the terminal server and provided access only to the security group created above.
4. Users are accessing the Terminal server through RDWeb or connecting remotely through MSTSC (RDP) or using a .RDP file
5. Users get emails with PDF attachments and print the mail directly without opening the PDF in Reader.
Users check the box to print the attachments with the mail (see snapshot below):
Some questions:
1. What is the OS and platform (x86 or x64) of the terminal server?
2. What are the versions of Acrobat & Reader on the terminal server?
Thanks,
Vinod

Screen stuck on gray, used shift key and my screen appears with MacBook Pro and not the recovery option. Please help!

Hi ..
Shift key boots into Safe Mode, not Recovery.
This only works on a Mac running v10.7 Lion or later.
Startup your Mac while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities to repair the startup disk and restore OS X using OS X Recovery
If you can't boot into Recovery Mode, help here > Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup

Will Lion work ok with Logic Pro and 3rd party plugins?

Will Lion OS work ok with Logic Pro and 3rd party plugins?
Any help would be much appreciated,
Regards James

Well, Sylenth I know... works under Logic Pro 9 and it should be found by left clicking and holding... the Software Insturment Button (The one just below where it says i/o and then scrolling down in the menu that appears to the Instrument section below the Apple Plugins...
I don't know about Massive 1.01 because i think that one is not Logic 9 compatible because it is so old.... and I have never used Vanguard... but according to it's specs the latest version should be found in the same place as Sylenth...
Both Sylenth and Vanguard are 32bit plugins...
...and.. it probably doesn't help that you are using older/not 'legal' copies of these plugins.... *ahem*

Hi fabiangs,
I'm not sure that I follow. Are you saying that when you open a PDF file in Acrobat or Reader, that the display resolution changes automatically on your system?
What version of Acrobat/Reader are you using? Do you see this same issue in other files/applications?
I look forward to hearing back from you.

Stability Issues With X58 Pro

# CPU: Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz
# Motherboard: MSI X58 Pro LGA 1366 Intel X58
# Memory: CORSAIR XMS3 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
# Video Card: SAPPHIRE 100270SR Radeon HD 4850 X2 2GB
# Power Supply: Thermaltake Purepower 800watt
# Sound Card: X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series
Hello. Starting about 1 month ago I've been experiencing this issue. I can be just cruising the internet watching youtube video and listening to music then the computer will freeze and this loud screeching sound would come out of my headphones (and scare the crap out of me). This issue never occurred while I was playing any PC games until recently.
Yesterday I was fed up with the issue so I pulled open the case and cleaned every fan out (which I do every couple of weeks). Now the issue seems to be occurring while playing video games or listening to music. All the fans appear to be functioning properly and I don't believe it could be heat related because I have the Antec 1200 case which has 6 case fans. I've run PC Wizard 2009 and SystemFAN while playing some games and none of the temperatures I saw look too extreme.
So I'm suspecting it could be the RAM, soundcard, PSU, or motherboard but could use some more assistance before I start RMAing it.

I'd be inclined to blame the Creative drivers for your sound card first. Try updating (or if necessary, downgrade) the drivers and see if it makes any difference.
I actually pulled out the sound card an hour or so ago and removed the drivers. I'm running on onboard audio and the system just randomly restarted while I was talking to people on Ventrilo.

MSI x58 ProE and Corsair 12GB (3x4GB) RAM Issues

Greetings!
New poster here with a question that I cannot seem to find an answer to anywhere. I've looked over the forums but have had no luck figuring it out. My goal is to identify the culprit and replace the appropriate parts.
I built this computer in 2009 with the intention of doing OpenCL/CUDA computing and handle all my multimedia. At the time, 6GB DDR3 RAM (3x2GB) was about all I could afford. The machine works great, but lately, attempting to do some video and image processing has been hitting limits on my available RAM. I also want to run a linux VM or two. I thought I would order the Corsair 3x4GB DDR3 kit from NewEgg and not have any problems upgrading. I didn't have any plans of running the 6 and 12 GB sets simultaneously because I thought there would be some sort of memory density/timing issues.
New RAM desired: Corsair Dominator with DHX Pro Connector and Airflow II Fan - DDR3 Memory Kit (CMP12GX3M3A1600C9)
Old RAM in system: Corsair Dominator with DHX Pro Connector - 6GB Triple Channel (CMP6GX3M3A1600C8)
Request 1: Can I mix the 6 and 12 GB sets (for a total of 18GB) if I keep the density the same across each set of slots? There are 3 black (primary) and 3 blue (secondary). I was thinking of putting the 12GB in black, and 6GB in Blue.
I placed the order, received it, and went to install it yesterday. Took the existing 6GB out and dropped the 12GB in, saw that BIOS recogized it with the right timings, and proceeded to boot Windows up. Blue-screen at the very first Windows logo. I thought "well that stinks, let's check to see if the RAM is defective through MemTest." Downloaded an ISO of 4.2, fired it up, and it hung right away. Hung in the "Address Test, Own Address" test. Big fat A note: BIOS and MemTest both recognized the full capacity of the sticks.
My next thought was "Well, one of them might be bad, let's try to find out which one." I individually put each one in the first slot on the board, ran MemTest, and showed 0 problems on any tests with each of them.
Summary thus far: Individually, each 4GB stick works perfectly. In combination, they fail. The full 3x2GB set works perfectly.
My next theory was that my board might be bad (even though the 3x2GB set in the same slots has no issues). Knowing that the first slot was good with every bit of memory I put in there, I left a 4GB stick in slot 1, and dropped a 4GB stick in slot 2. MemTest hung again. Thinking it might have been that one stick, I put the other one in there, and it hung also. So, slot 2 looks suspect. Move the sticks to 1&3, and they look fine, but that still leaves me missing 4GB of RAM.
I've followed advice and re-seated the CPU, looked for bent pins (none found), and tried manually setting the timings to the 9-9-9-24 that is printed on the sticks. No luck with any of that.
Request 2: So, my question to you is what am I missing? I feel like the board is the problem, due to the slot 2 problem with the 4GB sticks. However, my 2GB sticks don't have any problems at all in the same slots. Could the 4GB sticks require a little more power that my board might not be pushing out (the board is labeled at 1.5V, the sticks are labeled 9-9-9-24, 1.65V)? Would a bent pin be causing this that my eyes just cannot see? I read somewhere that a guy had a pin that was 0.25mm off that was causing his problems.
Or should I be looking at the memory? The 3x2GB set works fine, but the 3x4GB does not.
I'm not sure what my next step should be other than replace the RAM first, motherboard second. The RAM I just got, so I could RMA it if I knew exactly what the problem was. The motherboard is approaching 3 years old and presumably is out of warranty. I wouldn't mind replacing it, but I don't want to spend money right now if I don't have to.
I don't have a second machine to test on, although I'm trying to locate one (most of my friends don't build custom PCs). I have also tried putting the 6GB in the black slots and 12GB in the blue, but the machine doesn't work with that configuration either.
Request 3: Could someone explain how I could aim for 1066MHz on my RAM? I read that on the X58 Pro-E that this resolves most problems with random bluescreens. When I try to do this, I get lost in the numbers/options within the BIOS.
Anything else I might be missing? I'm out of ideas
Thank you all so much for the help!

Hi and welcome,
You have 2 "bottlenecks": the processor and the mainboard.
http://ark.intel.com/products/37147/Intel-Core-i7-920-Processor-8M-Cache-2_66-GHz-4_80-GTs-Intel-QPI
Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) : 24 GB
Memory Types : DDR3-800/1066
Memory Channels : 3
Max Memory Bandwidth : 25.6 GB/s
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X58-Pro-E.html#/?div=Detail
• Supports six unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333*/1600* (OC) DRAM, 24GB Max
As you can see, above 1066MHz you need to overclock both the processor and the mainboard.
I think for your config the best shot is 3 x 4GB DDR3-1333 (9-9-9-24 at 1.55-1.60V)

MSI x58 Pro and Quad SLI

OK I am new to this forum first off. So hey! lol. Now maybe this has been discussed.... well im sure it might have been but I thought I would get a direct answer from somebody. I have the Msi x58 Pro mobo and I planning to run QUAD SLI with GTX 295's. Now my BIOS version is the oldest.... I think 7.0 which doesnt support SLI right? and I have read that MSI motherboards now supports SLI. WIll this configuration work and should I update my BIOS to the most current version??

Yes, update with the 8 series bios. That will enable SLI. Please, be sure to use the forum USB Flash Tool for the bios update.

X58 pro and x5650

Hi
Seeing how these xeon chips are now cheap as chips I decided to get one for my now ancient x58 pro. Some hexacore goodness. After running some benches I cant help smile at a 60 quid chip in my old 2009 board can still do some good results. But anyways.
It works I can overclock it and its cooler than my old 920 but In bios settings the uncore ratio is totally blacked out. The motherboard just keeps it at a x2 ratio with memory and I have no way to change it. It recommended that's its kept at a 1.5 unlike the normal x2 for the i7s.
Is it a quirk with this board\chip or do I have to change a option in bios so it becomes available? I got the latest bios btw, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

yes its 8.f. All other options work and this chip is more than happy running even overclocked. Its that uncore is a big part of the oc and was wondering what/if can be done about it.
Saying that many boards listed the gulftowns and a few xeons then stopped updating there chips on the support pages. Not many x58 boards that don't support these chips. My pro does but its a shame it might be bugged so I cant get the most out of it.

X58 Pro and esata - Won't work...

I am just beyond frustrated with esata now! Wouldn't work on my last board (Asus P5K-Deluxe) and now it won't work with my latest build on the X58 Pro.
I tried to connect my Thermaltake BlacX external storage device via esata today and nothing happened when it was connected. I tried two different cables, one brand new one and one that has the corners 'shaved'.
I got ticked off tonight and bought a Lacie D2 Quadra 1TB external drive with esata. No go for this as well. Both the Thermaltake and Lacie work via USB2 no problem but USB2 just isn't fast enough.
I have made sure the Extra RAID/IDE Controller was Enabled in the BIOS (which it was)...
Aanyone have any suggestions?

Sometimes it is that easy. That's why I asked about the OS you had. Some component recognition issues tend to arise from time to time with different versions. Drivers are another fun element in the mix as well. If it stops showing again, looks like a 'reboot' will fix it. As an afterthought, it may have something to do with the 'connect' sequence. Now & then if I forget (can relate to age), & leave a portable device connected after shutdown, at bootup, the boot sequence is all messed up. Anyway, glad it is working now.

X58 Pro and i7 920's 21X multiplier lock

Hi, I've read that many motherboards are capable of locking the 920's 21x turbo multiplier so it can be used for overclocking. So far I have been unsuccessful doing so with the X58 Pro. With EIST disabled, I manually selected the 21X multiplier in the bios. Unfortunately Windows still drops the multiplier down to 20x under full load. Is there some bios setting I'm missing or is this board simply not able to lock the turbo multipliers?

Perfectly normal , 920 has multiplier of 20 , under full load that is the max you will get on every board of any brand.
If you use HWmonitor http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php than you will see that your processor voltage with multiplier 21 max 150W is and if you stress cpu 100% it will drop to 130W that is the max TDP of the cpu. This is the meaning of turbo mode, if your cpu has power left (when you play game or other software because 100% load does not often happen) then the cpu uses this power to overclock one or two cores with one multiplier (21).
Msi made it possible to use turbo without EIST what is not seen often on motherboards because normally you need to use EIST witch is a power feature to use turbo.
If you google overclocking on core i7 you will see that many oc'ers disable this turbo mode because the don't want to use EIST.
I use EIST and turbo and my cpu is overclocked to 4083Mhz and under full load it falls back to 3926Mhz but in games it stays 4130Mhz if needed , but with EIST enabled my cpu falls back to 50% so 2130Mhz when surfing the internet or watching movie even in some games like cal of duty 5 my cpu fall's back to 2130Mhz because the game is not heavy on the cpu and i get constant frame rate off 90 FPS on 1920x1200 all max out.
With crysis the cpu goes to 4130Mhz , so this game uses the cpu more.(not for 100% because then it will fall back to 3926Mhz like when i encode movies to h.264)
I use EIST so my energy consumption is not so high when i don't play games.
But when i need the power turbo will kick in.

How do I use the App store with macbook pro and mac pro

I currently use the app store with the mac book, but want to buy (share?) apps and music with the mac pro.
I can't find anything that specifically outlines how this works.
I use SplashID with the macbook and an iPhone, and want to use it (and sync it) on the mac pro as well.
If you buy apps for a macbook, can you use them on a second machine, or do you need to buy it a second time?

Your license from the MAS allows you to download and install the apps on as many Macs as you own or have under your control (institutional or employer supplied Macs.) The Mac should to be running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard or Mac OS X 10.7.2 Lion. Open the MAS app on the Mac Pro and sign into your account to have access to download all of your previous purchases in the Purchased pane.
Simple apps can also be dragged & dropped over a network connection from the MacBook to the Mac Pro.
