Core2Quad Q6600 on MSI 975X PowerUp Edition problem

Hello. I have a problem that is bugging me for about one month.
I have this configuration with an Intel Core2Quad Q6600 on a MSI 975X PowerUp Edition mainboard, with 4G Ram memory from Kingmax (4x1G DDRII 800 MHz) <The mainboard has the latest bios version 7.7>. I am running on Windows Vista x64 OS and I always get a blue screen after a nonequal period of time. I have remarked that usually it happens when running a media file (e.g. movie, DVD, play mp3) and downloading something from the internet. If I only do one type of operation at a time nothing happens, but if I do both types in the same time... in crashes. I can't figure out what may be the problem I've ran 32 memtests (one with v1.70 and one with v3.4) on each memory on each slot (4 memories x 4 slots) and got no errors. Of course than I ran one single test with both versions of memtest with the full 4G installed and got a lot of errors only on test 8 of them (regardless of the relevancy of 4G on a memtest that is on 32bit).
I also gave a memory test from the Windows Vista x64 DVD and the system hangs at 37% for hours. I checked the HDD and has no problem.... Now I don't know what else to test anymore in order to see what may be the problem. Is it somehow a problem from the processor?, any incompatibility in the system?
I saw that when making the regular updates for windows, on one particular update the system crashes giving me the same BSOD that bugs me (note thet the system does this problem imediatly after a clean install with no updates, and after the updates are installed)
I've installed windows about 5 or 6 times on this configuration. Not once crashed or hanged during installation and in windows... in applications, never hanges or crashes into the same applications... they work just fine... only when I am using some media and downloading.... it happens at a total random time between a few minutes and even one hour. Sometimes if I am lucky I watch an entire movie while downloading and nothing happens... I just don't get it.
Ah.. and when I get BSODs it never is the same error. Or it's a memory adress (stop error 0x0029940<random at adress 0x41625753<random), or it's a win32.sys, or it's a ntfs.sys, or some other file stored in windows directory.
Please tell me what should I try? any DOS or Windows programs that may stress the CPU in order to see if it's OK please just help me somehow, any ideea will be good.
I wonder if anyone from MSI could give me a hint or at least tell me about a software they use currently in order to debug a MB problem (if t's possible to do so).
Thanks

MSI 975x Powerup Edition and ocz2p800r22gk won't boot problem

Hi Everyone,
I just recently purchased the MSI 975x Powerup Edition v2.1 mb with an e6600 and when I put in the ocz ram the system won't boot the fans startup for a couple of seconds then the system shuts down and then it starts up again. I have been reading the posts and I have updated the bios to 7.1 I also made sure the boot block was written so the whole bios was updated but it just won't boot with this ram. The only way I can make the system boot is with my old Kingmax ddr2 553 ram from my old system. The ram does work in the old system just not the new one.
Other than getting the new ram to work the system has been fine. I know some people are using ocz with the board if you can tell me how you got it to work it would be greatly appreciated.
Take care,
Bob

The problem is 100% the OCZ ram. I had a gigabyte DQ6 motherboard along with an E6600 and OCZ Platinum ram. It did exactly the same as you describe with the MSI board. The only way I got it to boot was to buy some cheap DDR2-533 ram to get it to post and then up the voltage on the ram and change the memory settings. The problem was that when put into dual channel mode or single channel and put under stress (virus scan, play music and compress a file) the system would crash.
Inevitably I returned the motherboard and the memory and got the MSI 975X with Corsair C5 memory. I am now running stably with no issues.
I'm afraid OCZ has big time compatability issues. They even stated that they can't check compatability with most motherboards on their support forum. I would stick with the real big boys of memory being Corsair and Crucial.

MOVED: 975x PUE and Vista start up problem

This topic has been moved to Vista problems.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108609.0

Hello mscott48, From your description, it appears that Vista may have become corrupted.
I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did before becoming corrupted.
If this is the case, you would beed to perform a clean install of Vista to resolve the issue.
I'm not sure if your system will boot from a USB device, but if it will, you would need to enter the BIOS and make sure the first device is set to a USB device and then try and boot the Vista DVD from your external DVD drive.
This may create issues with the boot loader for your Linux distro, and if it does, you would have to deal with that as well.
Just some thoughts.

975X PowerUp - Possible to use Intel Raid and JMicron Controller?

Hi,
as you can see I've got an MSI 975X PowerUp Edition with Bios 7.7.
Because of many problems I had with earlier Bios version I've got completely disabled the JMicron controller in the Bios.
I'm running 4 HDDs at the Intel controller while using 2x Raid0.
Is it now possible to use the JMicron at the same time?
I would like to add a fifth SATA HDD at the JMicron controller and aybe an old IDE HDD also on the JMicron controller. So, is it possible?

Quote from: carrera1988 on 19-January-08, 18:48:17
Sorry, didn't found that thread.
I've tried it now with an fifth Sata HDD, works perfekly until now. I'm formating the new HDD at the moment...
What's the best way to shut down the Intel controller WITHOUT the risk of loosing data?
I want that oly the new HDD is detected so I can use her for testing purposes...
If only for testing purposes, why did you leave raid connected........? Especially, if planning to alter boot sequence......
I turn off computer and unplug disks, when I am doing testing of HD's......... that way data is safe. You have to setup bios again after testing but only takes a few mins or 10 mins if you have written down settings

975x powerup edition startup trubbels!

Hello!
The last week a strange problem has occurred on my computer. When i turn on the power (I always cut the power from a switch "outside" the computer) the PS_ON led on the chassi lights up and I cant turn the computer on. If I cut power and turn it on again two or three times the PS_ON led doesn't light up and the computer starts, boots and works fine (no lockups and so on...)!
I haven't changed any hardware settings on more than a year, and I have never had this trubble before. I wonder If it can be the PSU?
So annyone up to the challange?
My rig:
975x powerup edition (MS-7246 (V2.X)).

Have you got another video card that you try with your current setup, alternatively try your video card in another computer.
Also try to remove the VGA and reseating it. Check all your power connections again. Try also reseating the CPU .
Your tip solved the problem (almost). A friend of mine, who is a electric engineer and lives in another city, is here to visit me and watch the Olympic games (Olympic games on TV + beer = ). He had some electronic gears in his car so we tested the old Hiper PSU. It works fine while running (max load 712 W) but about ten seconds after I shut the computer down the PSU sends a "power spike" on 13,5 V through the system.
We then disconnected the two GPU:s and grounded and demagnetised them with a device he had. After that we reinstalled them and tested. Same problem, then we put in a floppy with an old program that I once used to check which BIOS I had on my old Soltek rig. The program couldn't find any BIOS!
So I installed BIOS 7,6 and Voila! Now it works absolutely fine! (so far... :-X) Our theory is that the Spikes from the Hiper PSU "locked" the graphic cards and later somehow drained the BIOS chip/memory. It would also explain why the PS_on led was glowing before I replaced the capacitors on the Hiper PSU.
I gonna test the system during the evening and will be back with a (hopefully) positive report!
Cheers!

975x powerup - display standby, game over. :(

heya, i came here after trying for 60minuts to revive my computer.
the configuration:
msi platinum 975x powerup, latest bios by live tool
intel Core2Duo E6600
connect3d X1950 XTX 512MB
be quit! BQT E5-550W
Cellshock 2x 1GB PC2-6400U
winxp sp2
the problem:
monitor went into standby and never woke up again
the temporary solution:
cut power line, remove battery, reset bios, put gfx card into 2nd pci express slot, repeat the reset/powerdown and put it into 1st slot again. eventually the monitor will wake up again, the platinum logo will show and windows boots. if one reboots or changes bios settings the computer/monitor will go back to sleep again until you repeated above procedure!
my question:
is it a faulty mainboard, a faulty gfx card, both or none of them but a software/bios issue instead? is this a known problem or one that occured earlier?
thanks for any help in advance,
simon

hm, i tried out with each memory module now - didnt change the outcome = not booting at the moment. cant even revive it with the earlier described procedure.
i tried to figure out what you mean with dbracket when i finally found this diagnose led in the motherboard box!
nvm with the first led outcome! its: 1, 3, 4 flashing red, 2 flashing green! tried it several times now. soo, looking through forums led diagnose its the memory hm? :/
do you still keep your motherboard manual? What does the flashing LED status tell you? Is it memory initialization ?

Thank you for replying. I had no idea I had a response. It is a Windows 7 Home Premium. The game is actually now a few different ones for my child, Baby Luv, Brave & Disney Princesses. None of them will work. I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 graphics card in this (Compaq Presario All-In-One Desktop PC) and I just posted another question in the forum about wanting to know if I can replace the grahics card with a HD card and if so how? I have looked online but can't find an answer. Is it possible to replace the card or with it being an all-in-one is it not possible? Thank you.

that acted as an MP3 player...

975X PowerUp--setting up PATA RAID0 and 2 optical drives (Problem Solved)

Hi, all. Revamping my existing system extensively and need some help.
I have 2 optical drives and 2 hard drives. I want to have the optical drives set up as master/slave on one IDE cable and the 2 hard drives set up as a RAID array on a second IDE cable. I did it on my old mobo but is this possible with the 975X Platinum PowerUp?
The manual says that IDE1 can support a master and slave, but that IDE2 only supports a master. However, I know this to be false because IDE2 is the slot that the JMicron RAID controller governs. I can manage to set up a RAID0 array with both HDDs master/slaved and plugged into IDE2. However, the optical drives in IDE1 are not recognized if I do this. I can get the system to recognize the optical drives if I plug them into IDE2... They work, but are incorrectly recognized by the JMicron portion of system post as a RAID array. I can't install Windows on the RAID array because so far the system won't access the optical drives without them being on IDE2--which I need for JMicron to control the RAID array. You can see how this would cause trouble. Is there some way that I can go into the BIOS and tell the system that IDE1 is the optical drives?
I have looked in the manual and on websites. Nobody seems to have the same problem. I know that I am a bit behind the times by not having a CD-RW/DVD-RW combo drive, but even having only the one device would not solve the problem of devices on IDE1 not being recognized by the system. This sounds like it should be possible to set up correctly, but because of the unfamiliarity of the motherboard and the complexity of the BIOS in relation to my last one, I know I am not doing something right. I hope I've made the situation clear enough to make sense to other people!
Any suggestions?

Since it is a fresh install, the only drivers that are installed are the ones that came on the Windows XP SP2 CD and the JMicron RAID drivers that I slipstreamed in. However, the directory structure and instructions for use weren't very clear in the .zip file that the RAID drivers came in. It says:
"For floppy install:
Please copy all the directories and files in the "floppy" folder to the root directory of a floppy disk to create a pre-install disk for Win2K/WinXP/Win2003/WinXP 64bits/Win2003 64bits.
For example,
A:\amd64
\x32
txtsetup.oem"
Well, my power supply does not have a connector for a floppy drive, which is why I was installing the RAID drivers with a slipstreamed XP CD. However, in the actual .zip file, there is no "floppy" folder! There are 4 subdirectories: Application, Driver, Floppy32 and Floppy64. The Driver directory has 2 subdirectories: amd64 and x32. I didn't understand whether I was supposed to use the files in the Driver/x32 folder, or the ones in the Floppy32 folder.
I ended up slipstreaming the files from the Floppy32 folder because it seemed to make the most sense according to the instructions. However, I noticed both in nLite and when Windows was actually preparing setup that multiple RAID drivers were found in and loaded from this directory, whereas in the Driver/x32 folder, nLite detected only one set of RAID drivers. Did I use the wrong directory to get the JMicron RAID drivers when I made the slipstreamed XP CD? Or do you think there is a different problem?

Strange major problem with 975X PowerUp Intel MOBO

I’m suddenly having a strange major problem with a MSI 975X Platinum PowerUP Edition V2.1 MS-7246 Intel socket 775 motherboard. Previously, it had given me no problems at all.
It went like this:
Powered on system in the morning, booting from a cold start.
Hit DEL key to get into the BIOS.
Missed the window and the system booted into Windows normally.
Re-started the system from within Windows.
Hit DEL key to get into the BIOS and was successful the second time.
Hit the ENTER key on the first item “Standard CMOS Features”.
The DATE, TIME and other information was displayed on the next screen, but at this point, the BIOS screen became completely unresponsive to any keyboard input.
The only thing I could do at that point was to power off.
Subsequent power on boot-ups resulted in the system always freezing at the BIOS splash screen after the video card sign-on.
I have switched power supplies, hard drives, keyboards and video cards. I have disconnected everything except the video card, keyboard and one RAM module. I have switched the four RAM modules around and then reduced the RAM to one 256MB module in the proper slot. I even changed the battery on the MOBO, in case it had shorted out and removed and re-seated the BIOS chip. It still halts at the BIOS splash screen.
The BIOS chip can’t be completely dead, because I powered off and pushed the BIOS reset button on the MOBO to reset the BIOS to the factory defaults. When I re-booted, I could tell that it had actually reset to the factory defaults because I had previously set the BIOS to reboot the system on resumption of power and the factory default was to remain off until the power button was pushed, which was now the default.
I’m stumped! All I can think of is to get a new pre-programmed BIOS chip and see if that makes any difference, but I’m not sure this system is even worth the expense with no guarantee of success. Any suggestions on how I might get past the BIOS splash screen or do I for sure have a corrupt BIOS chip?

System specs as per the posting guidelines -
Board: MSI 975X Platinum PowerUP Edition V2.1 MS-7246 Intel socket 775
Bios: Version (can’t recall & can’t check since it won’t go past the BIOS splash screen)
VGA: ASUS EN7600GS nVidia GeForce 7600GS PCI-e 256MB DDR2 (also tried new XFX nVidia
Geforce 210 PCI-e 2.0 512MB DDR3)
PSU: Chiefmax 680W ATX (also tried new OCZ 700W ATX)
CPU: Intel 2.8GHz LGA-775 Core2 Duo Dual-Core Processor
MEM: 4 x Samsung 512MB 1Rx8 PC2-5300U (2GB total)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 250GB SATA2 (also tried Seagate Barracuda 500GB SATA2)
COOLER: Intel OEM LGA 775 fan/heatsink C25897-001
OC: No
OS: Vista Home Premium 32-bit
I have been through the BIOS reset procedure several times and pretty much as outlined. As I said before, I could tell that it had taken a reset to the factory defaults, because the power on option had changed.

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...
** Click to enlarge **
** Click to enlarge **
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
