Thanks for the quick reply.
I have tried to clear the cmos with no effect.
Still the board boot with the 512mb pc4200 memory-module (I have no specs the this, sorry)
This is the pc:
Motherboard: 975X PowerUp Edition (with default settings in bios)
CPU: Intel Dual 2 Core E6600
Memory: OCZ 2x OCZ Gold XTC pc2-6400 1024mb timings: 5-5-5-12
Power-suppy: 550W 3.3V-35A... 5V-40A... 12V-16A...
HDD: Seagate 160gb SATAII
Video: Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce 7800GT

That's your ram ?
Clearly says 1.95 - 2.1Volts ; Standard ddr2 voltage is 1.8 volts - not enough
Put VDimm to 2 Volts in bios...

    This is a test to see how far I can push my RAM, not the CPU! Therefore I have to use dividers
    Ok, listen up. Bios 7.16 seems to have fixed for me the problem I had when running dividers 3:4 (1.33 bios setting), 2:3 (1.5) and 3:5 (1.66).
    I did some testing earlier with the 2:3 divider/ratio too keep my FSB low so that I can push the RAM beyond my previous 470Mhz at 4:5 (1.25). Anyway, with a combination of clockgen and memset I can get DDR-1120 at reasonable ram timings...

    Once again I encounter the dreaded 375Mhx FSB wall on my mobo so at the moment I can't push my RAM any further than 560Mhz with 2:3. I would use the 1:2 divider but there's a problem. The lowest the FSB can be set to is 266Mhz. With a 1:2 divider that means that RAM has to boot at 533Mhz. The SPD setting for tRD (read delay) is too tight for 533Mhz with my RAM and so it won't boot. If the bios engineers could just add options to adjust the rest of the RAM timings beyond the basic 4 then I'd be able to relax the TRD before boot and use the 1:2 divider.
    Seeing as I can't clock my CPU or RAM any higher due to the 375Mhz FSB limit I'm gonna put in the other 2Gb of the same ram, install WinXP 64Bit and see how 4Gb can overclock compared to 2Gb on this mobo

    Yeeees, now it works !
    I disabled / modified the following entries:
    Advanced Bios C1E,Execute Disable Bit, SpeedStepping
    Advanced Chipset alle Einträge
    Integrated Peripherals Jmicron
    PnP/PCI Configuration PCI/VGA Palette Snoop
    HW Monitor Smart Fan
    Core Cell Dynamic OC
    Memory 5-5-5-15
    FSB to Memory ratio 1:1
    Memory Voltage 2,1V
    PCI-E Frequency 100
    PCI-E Voltage 1,5V (Default)
    Autodetect pci clock disable
    Spread Spectrum disable
    Remark: C1E was removed in BIOS 7.4 (official)
    But it worked for me with this version.
    Without changing the voltages, I did not reach a higher FSB than before.
    So I set the CPU to 1,37V and the memory to 2,1V.
    Result: I was able to increase the FSB up to 340MHZ, at 345 Windows freezes (tested with 2 instances of Prime95 and ClockGen). For me this result is sufficient, I only want to use 333MHZ FSB, because of my memory. Although some users report that they reach 400MHZ FSB without raising the voltages for CPU and memory.
    Now I will find out, if I can lower the voltages.....
    Many thanks for your tips and ideas !!!
    I hope that these settings will help someone else. I was quite sure that I used them before, but obviously not in this combination.

    i have an ati radeon 1950xtx in my first pcie slot and the arc 1220 (sata raid)in the second pcie slot.
    i dont see the card in bootup, already installed bios 7.7
    tried the card in an other sytem works fine
    also installed the latest firmware on the arc-1220 card
    anyone have an idea which bios i should try

    can you see the card in windows if you boot off the on-board controller?
    I know Intel boards are picky with RAID controller cards.  If the Intel RAID is enabled then a lot of add-on cards won't work.  Also, even with Intel RAID disabled some still won't work.  I had to flash my SiI 3132 RAID card to non-RAID for it to work as a boot device.
    I've had my system not even post at all when both RAIDS are enabled.  But if I get a post and it boots from the Intel side, it always sees the add-on RAID card.
    Also, do you have the latest BIOS?  Hopefully that will fix the issue.
    Myself, I have the ARC-1210 controller and have NOT had any issues on my 975, 965, P35, or X38 boards.  However, only the X38 board has allowed my card to run at full speed.  The other chipsets run the 2nd PCIe X16 slot at only X4.  It seems it's too slow for the controller to work properly, or there is some issues still.  But my X38 boards run great.  I get over 300MB/s with my 4 x 150MB Raptors in RAID0.
    Good luck

  • 975X Platinum PowerUp - Windows will not Restart - only shutdown

    I've had a MSI 975x Platinum Powerup for several weeks now and have a really annoying problem.
    When booted and in Windows the system is pretty stable. I've even had some success at overclocking (up to 333 with an E6400). However, even when not overclocked it I select Windows Restart the machine will shutdown but will not POST on the restart. The machine just sits there with no video signal.
    however if I do Windows Shutdown and the physically power the machine back on, everything seems okay.
    This maybe isnt a big deal, but is very irritating. I've seen some passing reference to other members of the forums that have a similar sounding problem, but there are no details.
    Could anyone tell me if this is a known issue, and whether there is a solution or not.
    Is it the case that only some people have this problem or do all 975x users have it?
    I've tried MSI support who just responded with a generic 'have you checked x,y,z' message.
    have detailed some of the other components of my machine below - let me know if you need anything more
    Thanks in advance,
    James.
    BIOS: 7.3 (7.1 and 7.2 had the same problem also)

    Hi, The only thing I need to change in the bios is to turn off 'spread spectrum' and run the memory @2.2v. I have found turning off speedstep and C1E made no difference for me. At 375 if you run the memory with the 1:1 divider it will be running @750 so you can manually select 4,4,4,12 for the memory timings. This will not help the restart problem though.
    Having said that, any bios after 7.2 will alter your manual memory settings and if you enter the above ( GeILs recommended settings) it will change them to 4,5,6,12.......... Another bios quirk I'm afraid!
    To get around this you can go back to bios 7.1 which leaves these settings alone. What I have found works well is to leave the divider option on 'AUTO' . This applies the 1:1.25 ratio, and leaves memory timings on 4,4,4,12 with the ram running @875 when on 350 FSB. I run this setting @ 375, but I put the memory timings on 'SPD' as the ram is then running @938. You can run up to 2.3v through this ram according to OCUK where I bought the memory which may help you get up to these speeds or tighten the timings a bit.
    380 is about the fastsest mine will boot at and adding more vcore (up to 1.4v) made no difference to this. I have tried upping the pcie voltage (which is the chipset voltage on this board) to 1.6v, but this didn't help either! Some people seem to get over 400FSB easily and others seem to have hit the same wall as me. People who can attain the high FSB speeds don't seem to suffer from the restart problems either! WEIRD!!
    Let us know how how you get on.

  • A few questions about Memory and Power Supply for MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edit

    Bought this Motherboard: MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edition
    975X Platinum V.2(7246-020)
    I have a P4 CPU HT in it with 2 512mb sticks of DDR2 memory (533mhz).
    I am upgrading to a Core 2 Duo 6600 CPU which has a 1066mhz FSB
    What memory speed should I purchase to achieve the fastest bus speed without overclocking???
    I get confused as my current memory is 533 which I guess on a Pentium 4 with HT cuts the FSB speed in 1/2 to 266mhz.
    Any recommendations?
    Do I need to buy Dual Channel or can I just buy 2 sticks?
    Thank you
    Peter

    Great info again guys!
    I'll stay away from OCZ (I read it's more for overclockers).
    @DryHeat:
    I watched your sig, great setup! I'm planning for about the same setup (MSI 975x PUE, P180, C2D, ...). But will try a Scythe Ninja for CPU cooler and use an MSI graphic card (maybe 2 cards for 4 monitors in total).
    Is your setup silent or just quiet? Makes a big difference for me.
    What would you change now? And what is the most noisy component?
    Sorry for all the questions but I'm not an expert and by budget does not permit me from making any mistakes.
    The case fans create the most noise.  When they are all on "low" I an hardly hear them and have to shake the mouse to see if it's on, but on medium it sounds like a "standard" computer.  Not terrible, but not quite.  On high they are down-right loud.

  • 975X Platinum PowerUp compatible GFX card

    Hello,
    instead of upgrading the whole pc i decided to upgrade just the graphics adapter. It is when i realised, that i.e. a nvidia gtx 285 does not fit into the pci-e slot, when all the sata ports are in use (i can't remove the sata connectors, as they are all needed, so i didn't check whether the gtx285 fits in with no sata connector)
    The card right now in the pc is a msi 8800gtx, which has almost the same length as the gtx285, but lacks the end of the big exit fan.
    My question is, can anyone recommend a new and good grapghics adapter, that will fit into the 975X Platinum PowerUp edition, when all sata slots are in use.
    Thanks:)

    Have you looked into SATA connectors that connect at 90°?

  • Unable to run 800Mhz memory on 975X Platinum PowerUp

    hi,
    I can't get my MSI board to recognize my 800mhz memory, it runs at 667mhz although it's 2x1GB Corsair XMS2-6400 4-4-4-12 2.1v. If I run CPU-Z, the SPD shows everything correctly, but I had to change the timing values manually, it defaults to 5-5-5-15 if I select "by SPD" in the BIOS. I'm running version 7.2 of the BIOS.
    I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to overclocking and tweaking BIOS settings, I just want it run at the correct speed and preferably not overclock at all.
    Thanks in advance,

    Well my floppy drive def works becuase Im flashing bios right now(I'm typing on my laptop). 
    I didn't recieve a floppy disk with my board so I had to copy files off of MSI disk. Here is what I have done thus far in chronological order.
    1. Create raid array by following steps in manuel. (succesful)
    2. Format floppy, copy raid driver from msi cd path: ide/intel/Ich7R/floppy/32 onto floppy.
    3. set boot priority to cd rom, floppy, harddisk
    4. boot to windows setup and press f6 when prompted
    5. insert floppy with raid driver when asked "please insert disk labeled Manufacter-supplied hardware support disk" then press enter
    6. says please wait... in bottom left corner for approx 6 sec then the page "please insert disk labeled Manufacter-supplied hardware support disk" comes up again and this keeps happening everytime I press enter.
    Tech support sent me a bios update file titled 7246 v715. If I'm not mistaken this would be the latest one. Well I extracted contents too floppy but when I got into dos it said blinking...  source file not found. SO I restarted. And Im gonna try flashing 714 now.

    THE RETAILER SAYS THAT PLZ DONT FLASH BACK THE BIOS AS IT WILL COMPLETELY VOID WARRANTY
    I am not mistaken, damages to your mainboard due to overclocking are not really covered by warranty either.  If you are really determined to overclock your system, you shouldn't really give much about which BIOS you are using.  Why the sudden panic attack?

  • 975x Platinum PowerUp - Wake on LAN problem...

    Hi,
    for TV digital cable recording with my DboxII receiver (Neutrino Linux) I need Wake-on-Lan. It work flawlessly with my old ASUS A7N266-C: PC as streaming server, woken up by the pre-programmed DBox by a "Magic Packet" containing the MAC-adress of the LAN-card. (So I don't have to program any timers on the PC, just have to be sure that it is in standby or hibernation mode.)
    The new setup is the same as the old, I've only changed the PC's MAC-Adress in the DBox-setup. The DBox is connected via router.
    What I've done: I activated PME in the Intel LAN properties, and activated "resume by directed packets and Magic Packet". I allowed the device to wake up WindowsXP and set the BIOS to resume by PCI and PCI-E events (seems as if PCI-E is the necessary setting for the onboard LAN).
    What happens, is, that it doesn't work with Magic Packets. It almost works with this "directed packets" setting - but the problem is, that the PC only stays in hibernation mode for around 15 seconds - even if the Dbox is switched off. Maybe the router does something to wake the LAN card? DHCP is already off...
    Has anyone further knowledge about WOL with this board? The next thing I'll try is, if it works better with my previous Realtek PCI card. But it would be a pity to waste a PCI slot for that....
    Power-on-LAN is impossible with this board, I guess?
    Martin
    P.S. I'm still stuck to BIOS 7.1, because I need the Intel Raid AND the JMicron IDE - is there any beta BIOS, that I could try?

    Quote from: FrobinRobin on 27-November-06, 23:25:47
    I've had WOL work on various BIOSes. I know 100% it works with 7.1A.
    You need to select the first boot device as LAN
    I tested my WOL application firstly from the shell prompt from another PC and when it worked I set up a web page to run the WOL app - it works great but if i remember correctly I had to change some firewall settings(?) to get it working from the shell. If you cannot get it to work maybe there is a compatibilty issue with the mobo & dbox WOL packet ?
    (i have dbox - they're gr8  )
    I use WOL 1.1 by Greg Whittmeyer (PM me if you want a copy)
    Every magic packet is the same - the mac addy 3 times, so it shouldn't matter how it's being generated.  If you want to test your waking app, plug another computer into the same network cable as the 975 system and send it's magic packet.
    Another thing to be sure of is to make sure your power is off, magic packets will sometimes not wake a sleeping computer  - from S1, S3, or S9

  • 975x Platinum PowerUp Dual Boot Issue

    Hello -
    I have a 975x Plat. PowerUp and dual boot Linux and Windows XP. This process works fine on BIOS 7.1, but fails to boot the Windows disk on BIOS 7.4 and newer. The disk still works, it just can't be started by the Linux bootloader (grub).
    I spent a lot of time working on this as a grub issue, but in the end the only thing that affects the problem is revision of the BIOS I am using. (e.g., flash 7.4, Windows does not boot, reboot and flash 7.1, Windows boots).
    I also get an issue where I cannot eject the CD drive on warm boot under the same conditions (like a BIOS boot disc, or a Windows boot disc). Works fine on 7.1 not on 7.4 or newer.
    I have all 4 ports on the ICH7 controller used for hard drives, and the JMicron controller used for a SATA DVD drive. The issue occurs in IDE or AHCI mode (currently using AHCI mode).
    Are these known problems? Are there known fixes? I would like to use a newer BIOS because I have an MS USB keyboard that does not work in DOS mode with BIOS < 7.4 (need keyboard to select OS at boot time).
    Thanks,
    Chris

  • Compaq Presario CQ57 Laptop System Bios recovery problem

    A customer of mine has a Compaq Presario CQ57 that has developed a BIOS problem.
    I am unsure if it had had a BIOS update through HP Support Assistant or if it just decided to start for no reason but it now intermittently decides to recover the System BIOS at start up.
    It is all very random. It may not do it for a while - working fine every time it is switched on - but then just decides to go into this recovery. Sometimes the recovery sorts it first time, sometimes it has to go through the recovery mode several times before it sorts it out. Once sorted, Windows and the laptop work fine.
    I have tried to remedy it by installing BIOS updates. There are 4 available on the HP website. I have installed all four at various points - sometimes they install, sometimes they fail. Sometimes the recovery mode kicks in straight after - usually after a fail which makes sense. Other times it will work OK for many start ups and then just go back to it's old tricks.
    Any suggestions would be very helpful.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello rmaiden,
    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I understand your Compaq Presario CQ57-212NR gives you an error after running the system recovery.
    Can you tell me if this error loads within Windows or if it prevents you from starting up.
    I would suggest you acquire an ISO image of Windows 7 and burn it to a DVD. Use this to install Windows and then run the recovery after. This should remedy the problem.
    Let me know if this works for you!

    First two are easy. 
    #1.  There is a mistake in the official bios that shuts off usb support.  Flash to one of the modded bios you will see in this index if you want X2 cpu support and usb support. There are numerous current threads about this.  I suggest flashing with winflash like this:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=84865.msg606175#msg606175
    with something fromthis:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=59711.0
    #2.  That message is harmless and everybody gets it above ver. 1.8.
    #3, 4 & 5.  After you flash correctly (checking the clear cmos box in winflash, etc.), let's see what problems remain, but it would help if you gave us your full system specs for your psu with brand and amps on 3.3, 5 AND 12 volt rail(s) etc.
