Help overcloking problem P965 platinum and ballistix tracer

i jut get a new set of curcial ballistix tracer to change my old corsair TWIN2X2048-6400, the problem is that before i could get a stable 3.2 fsb 405 memory ratio 1:1, but now even at 2.8 the pc is unstable, i try to set the memorys at 4-4-4-12 and 5-5-5-15 but it wont boot whit the fsb at 400, if i not overclock i can set it a 4-4-4-12 at 1.9v and work without problem.

try messing with memset http://www.tweakers.fr/memset.html. with that you can change timings in windows, if your system doesnt hang when you apply the timings it should post. i had to do that to correct my timings when i underclocked my memory to achieve a post.

P965 Platinum and Realtek RTL8111B problem

I have a dual boot setup on my computer: Windows XP and Fedora 7 Linux.
After booting Windows XP I will have to COMPLETELY UNPLUG the power supply from my computer before booting to Fedora 7 Linux. The reason: If I simply reboot or turn off the computer (simply turning off does not remove the power from the mainboard), then the Realtek RTL8111B onboard LAN is left in a state which prevents Fedora 7 Linux from being able to use the LAN. Fedora simply reports the LAN is not available. The solution, which I find unacceptable, is to completely turn off the Realtek RTL8111B on the P965 Platinum and use an old Realtek 8129 PCI network board.
A better solution would be for the MSI BIOS to reset all of the Realtek RTL8111B LAN chipset's bits to a valid state so that Fedora 7 Linux would be able to properly recognize and use the onboard LAN.
Again, if I COMPLETELY UNPLUG my computer's power supply Fedora 7 Linux always finds and uses the onboard LAN. It is only after using Windows XP and rebooting to Fedora 7 Linux without completely unplugging the power supply first that there is a problem. This would seem to indicate the MSI BIOS is not resetting the Realtek RTL8111B onboard LAN chipset to a clean state when it initializes the system upon booting.
I am using MSI P965 Platinum BIOS version 1.4

Uhm, I'm having exactly the same issue under linux.
The router's led will stay off and it looks like there was no network cable connected (Realtek Ethernet controllers are insmod'ed and everything looks fine).
The only thing I haven't tried is unplugging the power supply's cable ... weird.
I'm also upset about this problem >:(
MSI P965 Platinum - BIOS v1.4

P965 Platinum and E6600 won't go to 3GHz

Hello,
I have a MSI P965 Platinum and a E6600. Currently I have two sticks of Corsair Value Select 1GB PC-5300 RAM, rated at 667Mhz 5-5-5-15.
The E6600's stock is 2.4GHz, and I want to go to 3GHz. This should be dead simple - not only can the E6600 usually clock much higher, but 3GHz will only require a 333Mhz FSB (9 x 333), which means my RAM doesn't have to be overclocked at all since it is rated for 667MHz DDR2. I should be able to obtain 3GHz with a nice comfortable 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio without stressing the Corsair Value ram beyond specifications.
However, it just won't work. I seem to be having RAM instabilities at 667MHz 5-5-5-15 and 333Mhz FSB. The reason I say RAM is because Memtest86 freezes, and SuperPi has a 'not exact in round' error in 16M and 32M - which apparently means there is a problem with memory stability. Now, I know this sounds like the RAM is faulty, but I don't think it is, because when I run stock 266MHz FSB, the system is fine at 4:5 divider to make the RAM 667Mhz. It's only when I increase the FSB (and not the RAM at all) does the system become unstable. At 266MHz FSB and 667MHz RAM, my system will pass any stress test, but not at 333Mhz FSB and 667Mhz RAM.
I've upped the CPU voltage 3 notches to around 1.350 or so under load. My ram is at 1.9v, although I tried 1.95v too. I didn't touch the chipset voltage (should I?). My temperatures seem ok - I'm only using the stock Intel cooler, but it should be able to handle 3GHz fine. It hovers around 48c idle, 60c load according to Everest Ultimate (before it crashes in SuperPi), so it doesn't appear to be overheating while overclocked. Not great tempts but acceptable.
However, there are two things I've noticed:
- In the BIOS, if I select CAS to be 5 or 6, CPUZ still reports my ram at CAS3 (which my RAM can't do at 667Mhz), or 3-5-5-15. However if I select CAS4, it reports CAS4 properly (still unstable though), or 4-5-5-15. This is only a problem when I overclock the FSB - at stock FSB, the CAS timings are reported correctly. It could be an issue with CPUZ, but I doubt it. If there is a bug with the P965 Platinum not setting the CAS right when overclocking, this might explain why I'm having RAM stability issues even though I'm not overclocking the RAM - i.e. because the board is not using the right CAS setting. Is this a known bug? Also, I tried Auto SPD but it tried to use 4-4-4-12 at 667MHz (again, which this RAM won't do).
- When I run 333Mhz FSB and 667MHz RAM, the POST shows some sort of error message about the board not supporting CPU's with a 267Mhz FSB or something (which is weird, because 266Mhz is the stock speed *shrug*), and that it's resetting it. Sorry I can't recall the exact error off hand, but I can try the overclock again and provide it later on if needed. Anyway, despite the error message, the overclock still applies - it will boot into Vista 64-bit at 3Ghz, it just won't pass any stress test.
Is it possible a BIOS update could help me? I run V1.4, and even though I know there is a V1.8 now, no newer version mentions anything about fixing overclocking issues. I don't like to update my BIOS unless necessary (and I don't even have a floppy drive anyway, would need to figure out how to do it via USB).
Thanks for any help. I'm certain my RAM isn't faulty and I'm certain my CPU should be able to reach 3Ghz surely. I'm also pretty sure heat isn't an issue. I think maybe the board is trying to force CAS3 when FSB overclocking or something? That's my guess anyway.

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, I should have mentioned I was definitely achieving 1:1 - I recall the confusion over why my RAM was trying to be 800+MHz at 667 and then I realized 533 actually meant 1:1, 667 4:5 etc, so I am definitely running at 533/1:1. I doubt this RAM would even post at 800+ MHz.
So updating the BIOS may help? Ok thanks, I guess I will update then. I don't see it in the "fix" list though on the site. Is there a way I can get a *full* fix/enhancement list for 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 so I know exactly what I'm fixing going from 1.4 to 1.8?
Also, does MSI support LiveUpdate BIOS in Windows Vista 64 yet? And if not, is there an official way to update via a USB stick? (no FDD here).

P965 Platinum and XP hell - found a way

Hi guys,
I had ugly startup problems with the P965 Platinum and a Samsung Spinpoint SATAII HDD. So I want to share with you how I finally got there. I tried for a whole day to install XP as I wanted a dual boot with Vista. Trying XP Home OEM did not work, I got those blue screens we have seen in here. I tried everything, but to no avail. Two short beeps during startup also confused me, but forget about those for now. Well after hours of frustration I installed Vista. It worked! And told me that my Corsair RAM was probably OK, as well as my HDD. Then I had a drink too much and went to bed.
Today I slipstreamed XP with Service Pack 2, and managed to make a bootable CD. So now I got XP Home SP2. Tried again, and this time I got past blue screens...but when XP came to the first reboot...arghh no HDD. Today I was actually going to RMA the whole crap, but got a tip from the vendor.
On the MSI driver CD there is a IDE folder, with a "floppy" containing the AHCI ICH8 drivers. I read the readme and moved the files to a floppy, then put the floppy into the drive. Then I went into the BIOS and set SATA to AHCI. Started the install, pressed F6 and loaded the drivers from the floppy. I selected ICH8 AHCI, and XP was happy. During the installation it read the floppy once more and obviously recognized stuff. So here I am, up and running. Rock steady.
I think both MSI and vendors should inform us better about such.
I still got those two short beeps at startup, three if the USB CDRom is on. Can anyone please explain those beeps to me?
Cheers,

Glad you found your way out of "hell". The problems that threw themselves in your way are well known to many P965 Plat. users in this forum. It is good to see that you were able to solve them.

Usually it is one beep for each USB-device attached.

Problem with P965 platinum and crucial ballistix tracer 6400

i just buy a new pair of crucial ballistix tracer but they dont work too well with the board, i try to set it at 4-4-4-12-24 but it wont boot, so i have to set it to 4-4-4-12-38 to boot my old corsair were runing at 5-4-4-12-24, i don't know if the boar don't work well with those memorys, any one having this problem?

Quote from: RemusM on 06-May-08, 21:24:24
Aaron is right.
At least for this summer, you should leave them at 5-5-5-15 and 1.85V
Also take care with that E6400 running at 3.2GHz. It won't last long!
The boss needs a vacation: movies, beers, hot chicks and so on.
Remus,
You preach too much! Instead of the CPU lasting ~7-8 years it will last ~4-6. I don't see why you keep a CPU that long...

I need help getting my P965 Platinum board to work

ok, I've tried researching it and searching the forums but I'm still having a lot of trouble and it's all a tad bit confusing. I've finally gotten all the stuff hooked up but I've run into trouble. My dvd drive and hard drive are both IDE and they aren't being recognized in BIOS, although I can select them as boot devices(the exact devices like ASUS DVD, not the generic cd-rom one). After it goes through th msi logo screen it goes to a screen with JMICRON stuff on it with the name of my hard drive in blue and my dvd drive in green, and to press any key to continue. If I try to boot from an xp cd in the dvd drive it gives me an :
"CDBOOT : Couldn't find NTLDR
Error loading OS"
error.
I think getting this error may have to do with the dvd drive and hard drive not being recognized in BIOS. Now, I read that one solution was putting the drivers on a floppy and booting from that. Of course I don't have one but I was able to scrounge one up from somewhere but with no blank floppies. I rewrote over a couple of the old one I had, one doesn't get recognized when I put it in and trying to boot from it give me an error and tells me to remove and media, the other is unformattable and the last one gives me an error that just says it cannot boot or there was a boot error. I download the driver folder and all I did was copy the inside of the floppy32 folder and paste that onto the floppy. Please help me, I'm on the end of my rope here. I've been dealing with one installation problem after another and now I feel even more broken now hat I know how p965 doesn't have native IDE support. I don't have SATA anything, but I do have a cd burner, a flash drive, an xp disc and possibly floppy stuff.
Here are my specs:
Asus 16x optical drive
Seagate 250 gb hdd
MSI P965 platinum motherboard
2 gigs of Patriot extreme performance ddr2 800 RAM
MSI geforce 880 gts(320 mb)
OCZ Game X stream 600 watt psu
Enermax CS-718 case
E6600 processor
I went to the g4 forums so I could bother them about it because I didn't want to bring up something that's already been answered on here, but I've gotten barely any help from them and all the issues I've read about on here don't exactly relate to my situation and are kinda confusing. Thank you for your help.

Seems like some who have tried two devices on the JMICRON IDE port have had trouble. Try without the hard drive and see if you get that error. If that is the case I would try a PATA to SATA converter for your hard drive and connect it to one of the Intel SATA Ports.

Weird problem P965 Platinum (Solved)

This is my first post, so helo to everybody.
I bought a P965 Platinum board a week ago. Yesterday I decided to update to v1.1 bios which I downloaded from the Global Site (latest version). Since then I have a very weird problem. My keyboard does not work unless it goes into Windows. I tried 2 different PS2 and another 2 USB keyboards but the problem is the same. Before then everything was OK (e.g. I entered numerous times into the bios in order to manage to install the XP SP2 onto a raid0 configuration!). Any suggestions (except from just wait for a new bios release)?
P.S. I searched for similar topics before I post but found nothing similar. Thanks in advance
My config:
C2D E6600
MSI P965 Platinum
ATI X1900XT
2*512MB Corsair 800
2*Raptors 36GB Raid0
2*320GB WD-KS
1*DVD, 1*DVDRW...

I had the exact same problem with my keyboards / P965 Platinum, although mine started when I used partition magic to resize my windows partition.
No keyboards (usb or ps/2, didn't matter) would activate until halfway through the windows load screen, making it impossible to change boot order, get into bios, etc.
Was seriously a very scary problem.
Did exactly as BOSSKILLER suggested. Updated bios to latest version 1.4 within windows using live update. Turned off machine. Unplugged power cord. Cleared CMOS. Booted, (keyboard worked! :D) got into bios, loaded defaults. Rebooted into bios, reset all of my settings and presto! Perfect again.
Thank you guys so much. This helped immensely. I was not looking forward to taking apart my new machine to send in the motherboard for service at all.

dunno where did you saw that, but i never suggest using LiveUpdate to update BIOS.

P965 Platinum and Vista x64 RAID config?

Ok, I have looked all over this forum for Vista x64 issues. Nothing even comes close to my problem. When I load Windows Vista Ultimate x64 Edition onto a clean SATAII drive (single non-RAID drive) I have no problems what-so-ever.
Now here is when it really gets weird. When I run install on a RAID array (2 SATAII Seagate 160GB drives) I see issues in the install. First thing I see is it corrupts the data on the first drive. This causes a blue screen at restart. When I go into the RAID config (ctrl+I) I see the first drive has errors. The only thing I can do is delete the RAID and start over.
When I reinstall Win XP Pro X64 I have no problems at all. I have downloaded the latest drivers from the downloads section and I have tried the newer Intel drivers. Non work!
Computer info:
CPU: Intel 3.4GHz Pentium D x64
MB: MSI P965 Platinum
Storage: 2x Seagate 160GB SATAII
RAID: Intel ICH7R/ICH8R SATA RAID driver 2006-08-29 (and have tried the newer driver from Intel)
If you need more just ask!
Oh yeah, I looked at the specs sheet for the P965. They need to remove the NEC 3550 from the "OK" list since it does not Wright period or READ at install. I went through a big deal with MSI about this and they still have not removed it.

Well sh**! I borrowed a friends Vista x86 and found it to also have the same issue. Would not even load the "Choose Drive" screen or allow me to even install the RAID drivers.
Man when a board gets Vista approved is must not take much. I have had compatibility issues with this board since day one. I think maybe it is time to through it away. What a shame since it is only a few months old.

P965 Platinum and E6700 CPU Core v ?

Just a question.
What is the default CPU Core V on the P965 Platinum board when you just unpack it first time ?
I just want to know because i just installed my board directly with my new E6700 CPU on without checking the CPU core v first.
I never touched it, but i'm afraid its wrong. Maybe i have to chance it my self for the right setting.
So my question is really. Is the default CPU core v on the P965 Platinum alright for a Core 2 Duo E6700 CPU or should it be chanced
to the CPU the user are using with the board.
Thx

1.265V for mine...

P965 Platinum and Crossfire

OK, if this has already been posted, I sure can't find it with the search... So..
I have a system running the 965 Platinum, 6300 CPU, and a single ATI X1600 pro video card (xp64 if it matters).. I can't seem to find a solid answer as to whether I can run a second X1600 pro on this board in Crossfire mode...
Anybody know for sure?
Thanks in advance

Quote from: CRCs_Reality on 14-December-06, 10:02:10
Sorry, didn't mean to come off like a jerk It's just that before I posted, I had already read all I could find.. I was hoping there was someone here who had tried it and could let me know if it worked or not...
Some of what I'm reading implies that you need a newer card (like the X1950 or such) to work crossfire on the P965, but then other stuff sounds like the X1600 would work.. I'd just like to know for sure before I drop cash on the card.
You just need a card that doesn't use the external dongle of early Cross-Fire (that big white thing outside the chassis) IIRC... I can't remember wherever the X1600 uses it or not, depends on how new the card is
Best regards

P965 Platinum and Zalman CNPS9500AT

Hi
I have recently built system with above two components (and dual core 6400)
I can set bios to monitor fan speed and temp (Rpm 2000)
or dual core centre(which does not seem too good) at min fan speed gives (2400rpm)
The processor temp is about 32
Unfortunately the system is noisy and I had hoped it would be silent
I would like to decrease fan speed to 1300 rpm just not sure how to do this
I got cnps9500 because it was supposed to be automatic Perhaps not compatible with P965
I have a zalman fanmate 2 but it is a 3 pin connector
Anybody got any suggestions or help?
Thanks for your time
Richard

Hi everyone
thanks for responses
The Zalman fan has a 4 pin connector it is the fanmate 2 that has 3 pin connector
The zalman fan can be controlled from MSI dual core centre program but this only allows speed in range 2700 to 2200rpm (1 to 7 slowest to fastest)
So the fan can be controlled from software I think I read that a beta version of speedfan might work
At the moment I am thinking of going back to the intel fan that came with the processor!
Thanks again
Richard

HELP! Problem after Archive and Install

I need help. I did an Archive and install because I was having problems with my ical not opening. I did the archive and install without checking the "preserve settings" box. I want to know what I need to transfer from either the "previous system" folder that was created when I did the archive and install or a back up I have on a seperate hard drive so that I can get all of my info back (ie: mail, addresses, bookmarks etc.). I am also having problems with some 3rd party software. For instance, when I open password plus I don't have access to all of my saved info.
I am feeling overwhelmed right now and know I am not thinking clearly. Do I just copy and paste from the previous system folder to the new system folder?

No, making an image won't help. There isn't anything you really need to copy from the /Library/ folder unless it's in the /Library/Applications Support/ folder in which case you shouldn't have any permissions problems unless you reinstalled your OS and used a different username and password. In this case you will have to change to ownership and permissions to enable moving the folders. In some cases try moving the contents of the folder rather than the folder itself.

Cordially,

HI,
- On the fw-
a. Make sure the FW is open for udp 5246 and 5247 ports required for the capwap process.
If this is a cisco ASA, you can set up ingress and egress packet captures to see what packets enter and leave the FW for this AP-
cap capin interface match udp any
cap capout interface match udp any
**match captures bidirectional flow for the interesting traffic.
b. Check the logs on the firewall for any drops.
c. cap capdrop type asp-drop all
This will tell you if the pkt was dropped and the reason for the drop
d. You can run the packet-tracer command on the firewall tracking this udp flow-
e.g. packet-tracer input inside udp 3.3.3.3 1212 2.2.2.3 5246 detailed
- What AP model is this? Is it the same AP that connects to the controller if there is no fw in the path?
- Does it use MIC or SSC cert? If SSC, make sure you have SSC checked and you will need to manually enter the hash for the AP on the controller under AP Authorization List -
Security> AP Policies
You can get the hash of the AP (f you dont have it) by enabling the following debug on the controller
debug pm pki enable
Other controller debugs for the AP-
debug mac address
debug capwap error enable
debug capwap events enable
- What about AP console log? Do you have access to that?

Help! Problems with Automatic and Discretionary Hyphens from FrameMaker

Does anyone know how to prevent RoboHelp from picking up automatic and discretionary hyphens from linked FrameMaker files?
I'm in a situation where I need to use automatic hyphens (and sometimes discretionary hyphens to prevent strange breaks) in my chapter titles and heading 1s. RoboHelp is great about ignoring the auto/disc hyphens in inline text (i.e., the titles and heading do not include the hyphen because they are not needed).
For example:
This Heading in FrameMaker...
Appears as this in RoboHelp...
Which is...
Recording
Service Infor-
mation
Recording Service Information
Correct
RoboHelp fails, however, when it comes to including the auto/disc hyphens in cross references and filenames. Even if the cross-reference text appears correctly in FrameMaker, the hyphens always show up in the cross-reference text in RoboHelp.
For example:
This Cross-Reference in FrameMaker...
Appears as this in RoboHelp...
Which is...
Recording Service Information
Recording Service Infor-mation
Incorrect
Additionally, the filename given is "Recording_Service_Infor-mation.htm" which is not what I want.
Why is RoboHelp smart enough to ignore the automatic and discretionary hyphens in inline text, but not smart enough to ignore them in cross-reference text and file names?
Is there a seeting I can change to fix this? thank you very much for any help you can provide!!
System Info:
Windows XP SP3
Technical Communication Suite 2 (FrameMaker 9.0p255 and RoboHelp 8.0.2.208)

Normally the hyphens are handled fine in RoboHelp. However, there seems to be a specific scenario where you are facing issue as mentioned by you. It will be great if you can share a sample FrameMaker document leading to such an issue when converted in RoboHelp. You can upload the document at acrobat.com or any other location and share the download URL.
Also, please specify any settings/mappings applied for FM document conversion.
