H55M-E33 (1.3 bios), i3-530 - freeze with flickering screen

Hi everyone.
My setup is:
- MSI H55M-E33 motherboard (bios version 1.3)
- Intel i3 - 530 CPU
- no other graphic card, using the one integrated in the CPU.
- 2x2GB DDR3 Patriot memory (666MHz, CL9)
- Samsung SATA (320GB, 7200rpm) HDD
- ATA LG DVD Drive
- LG LCD Display, connected via DVI
- 450W eurocase PSU (22A on 12V)
- Windows 7 32bit
The problem is that the PC freezes unexpectedly, with a flickering screen (flickering colorful rectangle rows aligned in 4 or 5 vertical bars). Only hard restart helps in such case. The trouble is that this happens only rarely (about 5 times total during 10 days since I got the PC).
First time it happened was after a bios update (1.1 -> 1.3, via liveupdate utility) when the computer restarted after, as it stated, a successful bios update. I though the update failed, but after I turned the PC on again, everything was just fine. Next time it happened while playing with Google Maps, so i suspected my PSU, which was then only 300W and only 20 pin. I bought a new 450W one and thought the problem is history, but today it happened again while just working with Adobe Reader and OpenOffice.
The CPU and all other parts are well cooled (the CPU temperature rarely crosses the 40°C value).
What would you recommend to do? A bios downgrade?

Well, I did some testing, maybe it's too soon to make a conclusion, but the problem seems to occur only when the RAM modules are in Dual Channel mode.
Tests I did:
- Only the first RAM module in DIMM1 - no problems.
- Only the second RAM module in DIMM1 - no problems.
- Swapped - second RAM module in DIMM1 and the first one in DIMM3 (dual channel) - same flickering screen freeze at same circumstances.
- Both RAM modules installed in DIMM1 and DIMM2 (no dual channel) - no problems so far
Those RAM modules were bought as a kit of 2 modules for dual channel.
So far the system is stable I'm satisfied, but I regret the memory performance loss.

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up.

Macbook pro-Freezes with black screen at start up. I've tried inserting the Mac OS X install disc to run the hardware test(Restart and hold down D), But it still does nothing. Just the black screen. Now I can't get the disc out. I've tried holding down the track pad key upon start up but that doesn't work neither.
What do I do??? Please help.

Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
That will give you all the information on your Mac.
This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
Good luck!

First version MacBook Pro, 10.6.8, freezes with pixelated screen. Repaired HD with Disk Utility, but still happens. Temp gague shows max of 51C. Any ideas?

I have the first version MacBook Pro, running 10.6.8 (most current OS that works). It freezes with a pixelated screen. This may not happen for weeks, or it may happen every time i restart. I repaired the hard drive with Disk Utility, but the problem still happens. The temp gague shows a max of 51C. Any ideas on what could be causing this?

Freezing with blue screen & can't boot from single user mode or disk

My keyboard is wired and plugged directly into my Intel iMac running OSX 10.5.8. I do not have the Leopard disks, but I do have the Tiger disks. I was trying to boot in single-user mode so that I could run AppleJack to try to fix another issue I'm having--I get the light blue startup screen flashed at me several times daily for the past week or so. When the blue screen flashes, it totally freezes my computer (obviously) and lasts from 1-10 seconds. I can't find anything that is triggering it. I haven't installed anything new that I'm aware of, and it happens whether the computer has previously been slept or not. I'm also not using an external display / additional monitor.
Also, for anyone who is nice enough to answer, please explain everything--I'm not an expert user.

Well since it is so time consuming and a security risk to turn off FileVault, I was hoping to hear from someone with more experience if this was the solution, or just something to "try"? Are you speaking from experience or just making a suggestion, leroydouglas? Thanks.

My macbook keeps on freezing with black screen

My Macbookpro keeps on freezing. Suddenly the screen goes black and it does not respond to any command.

It could be one of many problems, including a failing Graphics Card/RAM/HDD (I suspect the first one)
What you need to do is to perform a full Apple Hardware Test and post the results here.
On your computer, the AHT program is on the second DVD that came with your machine.
Refer to this page to help you do this test...
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
Using Apple Hardware Test
Apple Hardware Test (AHT) contains a suite of diagnostics that will test the hardware of your computer. It's a great way to rule out a hardware issue when troubleshooting your computer.
Using Apple Hardware Test on computers with OS X 10.5.5 to 10.6.7
AHT is located on the Applications Install Disc 2 and should be included with your computer or the MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive on a MacBook Air (Late 2010). To start AHT on these computers make sure the Applications Install Disc 2 is inserted into the built-in optical drive, external Apple Superdrive, or for the MacBook Air (Late 2010) be sure the MacBook Air Software Reinstall Drive is inserted into a USB port. Please then follow steps 1-6 outlined in the "Using Apple Hardware Test on computers with OS X 10.7 or later" section of this article.

Mac OS X Leopard suddenly freezes with grey screen and must restart

This is the second time in 3 days that a grey screen comes up and the computer freezes. Can anyone figure out what the problem is? Is it an upgrade issue?

I too have had this problem. It is not a Kernel panic, as far as I can tell. I have two Apple Cinema Displays connected. Both are dark, yet this time my mouse arrow is present. Most other times the screens are just dark. This is the first time I can ssh into my box and look at processes running. Other times the box was dead to the world. This most often happens after: a) lock screen, or b) Screen sharing into the box remotely. When I arrive back at work, the system is on, the screen is black, ssh into it may or may not work. This time I tried to kill all my processes one by one. Nothing released the machine display. Screen sharing into it also yields a black screen. I wish I knew how to restart a process like "WindowServ." Reboot computer via ssh command and display are up and running again.
I ran MemTest extensively from single user mode. No errors. I switched boxes, for I bought two identical systems (one for server, one for workstation.) I switched hard drives and ram. Issues still exists on both machines.

Powerbook G4 (12" aluminum" won't start up (freezes with apple screen up)

I'm on the road, and my Powerbook freezes during startup, with the apple on the white background, but no pinwheel. Tried starting in "Safe Mode", and it got to the pinwheel, then process bar/startup, but froze afterwards before the desktop came up. There's a blank blue screen, and occasional flashes of a pinwheel, but no desktop or mouse arrow. Any suggestions that can be done while traveling and without the startup disks (which were stupidly left at home)? Running OSX Tiger.

Find a local Apple Authorized Service Center who can help you out, tell them first before they do anything whether your data is backed up, and they'll take whatever measures you need:

Hey, since I have updated to 10.6.3 I have a similar issue. When I put my macbook pro to sleep and I come back a few hours later and turn my external monitor on I notice that the macbook is ON, BUT frozen! The time is usually a few hours back, so the macbook must have started up and frozen shortly after I had put it to sleep. There is no way to restart but to hold down the power button, SUPER annoying!
Hope this will get addressed in an update. Any way your problem is connected to sleep mode?

Macbook pro freezes with grayed screen

MacBook Pro 5,5; OSX 10.6.8
Repeatedly crashes with a translucent gray veil that moves down the screen, and a message box in the middle of the page saying you have to turn off the computer by holding down the power button and then restart.
I think this happens almost always in Safari or Thunderbird - the programs most used.
Here is the text of the report sent to Apple following the last incident:

I hope someone has a suggestion about fixing the problem!

Remove the battery to find your serial number in the battery bay. Then you can look your MBP up on EveryMac.com:
http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/
That will give you all the information on your Mac.
This is assuming that you have the MBP with the removable battery and not the unibody. The unibody has different graphic chips.
Good luck!

Imac freezes with gray screen after mavericks update

I was updating my imac system and it is frozen in a gray screen, like it is restarting.
It's been twenty minutes and it didn't restarted.
What can i do if it don't restart anymore?
All my work data is on that imac.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
     a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If you use a wireless keyboard, trackpad, or mouse, replace or recharge the batteries. The battery level shown in the Bluetooth menu item may not be accurate.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Imac G5 - screen freezes with patterned screen

Yesterday my Imac G5 suddenly had the whole screen covered with patterns which in turn froze
the machine up.
Tried using the hardware test (both quick & extended) found nothing wrong.
Tried resetting the Pram & Nvram - made no difference
Tried resetting the SMU - made no difference
Ran Disk Utility to repair permissions - all OK
Used DiskWarrior and no problems found.
Powered off and left it all night and restarted this morning all systems appeared OK
This evening this problem returned and had to power off again which is where I am now.
I have looked thru these forums and found reference to faulty capacitors about bulging, leaking etc
and removed the back but could not see any faults
Any one have any clues as to what the problem is?
I would appreciate some help here please
Alan

Nobody knows when Apple releases new models, but I think that they usually come out in the spring.
Or sometimes in the fall. In other words, there is no set time.
Try calling http://www.synaptech.com/catalog/ as I suggested, they replace logic boards very reasonably.

H55M-E33 I3 530 reboot loop

Hello,
I have my system for a year now but added a ssd hd yesterday. I installed windows 7 32 bit on it. When I installed the Intel hd driver the system asks for a reboot. As soon as the PC wants to enter the OS the system reboots. Offcourse system recovery pops up after that reboot. Recovery deletes the Intel drivers and the system boots up fine. I also tried to update the VGA driver (not installing them with Intel`s setup). It finds the driver files but again as soon as it wants to copy/enable them the system reboot itself. The only thing I can think of is a power problem. Here are my specs
MS H55M-E33
Intel I3 530
2 GB MEM
300 watt Be quit power supply
1 Caviar green 2TB Hard drive
1 OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD
I did not OC my system also never done a BIOS Flash. I`ve read somewhere that the newer BIOS versions makes the system using more watt`s.
Hope you guys/girls can help me with this,
Greets patrick

I`ve downloaded and installed the one from MSI. Which works but only outputs 1080I to my TV.
Does the "Windows does not boot properly"-problem occur with that driver version?

MSI H55M-E33 MB OC

Hello everyone!
I got an MSI H55M-E33 mother board paired with an i5-760 currently running at 3.6 ghz, unfortunately thats the maximum i ever managed to get it to, i was wondering if anyone has the mentioned motherboard and ever managed to get to 3.8 or 4.0 ghz oc.
I have bios version 1.0, was always paranoid to flash it to a newer one since i never had issues with it, the annoying thing is i cant seem to find the QPI/VTT voltage option so my oc is that limited, i asked around and i have been told the newer versions of the bios still dont include the option but im sceptic to be honest, there must be the option now a days!!. If anyone has the latest bios version for this mobo can you confirm its got all the required options to be able to run this cpu at 4.0 ghz?, if the options are not there, how the hell did you manage to get to 4.0 ghz with just the vcore voltage control!?
Thanks in advance everyone.

the annoying thing is i cant seem to find the QPI/VTT voltage option so my oc is that limited,
There are potentially two reasons for that.
1. The components on the lower end boards are unable to cope with higher overclocks and the increased power requirements with such higher OC's add the risk of board component failure.
2. The control circuits for manually adjusting these values just don't exist, meaning that even if they could add the lines in the BIOS, you still won't be able to change the values.
You have probably exhausted the OC potential of that board.

Overclocking an MSI H55M-E33 with easy OC switch.

Hi everyone,
Im new to overclocking, tempted to overclock through the easy oc switch on the mainboard. Has anyone tried it out? how did it go?, but more importantly do i need to change setting from the bios or does it change itself automaticaly after the switches are on?, also do i need to turn off intel's turbo boost before i turn the switches on?, an explanation would be much appreciated since ive never done this before, thanks guys
my setup:
Mainboard: MSI H55M-E33
Case: Coolmaster centurion 5
CPU: I5 760
Ram: 8gig corsair xms3 classic
Cpu cooler: Noctua nh-d14
Case cooler: Noctua nf-p12
Graphics: MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC (single unit)
HD: X2 SEAGATE 500GIG 7200rpm

Suggest you set your BIOS to default values first.
Set your OC switch to its first OC stage and restart the system. Test for stability with something like Prime 95 and monitor your temps.
Once you have established stability, you can try the second OC stage and repeat the stability testing.
You may of course want to do some reading first in terms of overclocking your 1156 platform. OC'ing the system in the BIOS yourself is usually the best way to achieve this.
Here is a nice guide that will take you through the process step by step. http://www.overclockers.com/3-step-guide-overclock-core-i3-i5-i7/

H55M-E33/H55M-P31 Motherboard

I installed an H55M-E33/H55M-P31 Motherboard with an Intel Core i3 530 2.93 Ghz Processor and 4 Gb of RAM. I am running Windows XP Professional on the computer and want to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. The on-board graphics card cannot get 1366x728 resolution which Windows 8 requires in order to be able to work. What can I do to get this system to meet that minimum graphic resolution requirement? The motherboard does not have an AGP slot on it. Which video card solution could I use, or am I looking at having to upgrade the motherboard?
