  • MSI x48c platinum bios? ram? problem

    I bought myself the following system (all brand new/ 1 month old):
    mobo:
    MSI x48c platinum
    other random information on motherboard -
    T6308P 0801CD TAIWAN 2UG4099621
    MS 7353 Ver: 3.0
    Fintek F71882FG
    G809CAB
    FL 1926.1
    Ram:
    Transcend 1 GB DDR3 1333 DIMM CC9 233207-0139 RoHS [3Q] x1
    Trancend 1 GB DDR3 1333 DIMM CC9 232444-0190 RoHs [7W] x1
    PSU
    mega 600watt
    CPU:
    Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 3.16Ghz FSB1333
    GFX:
    Asus HD4870DK 1GB
    problem:
    sometimes it does not boot at all, it just starts up and no screen displays, then after 5 seconds it shuts down and starts up again.
    when this happens I power down the pc and push the reset button on the back of the motherboard.
    It then starts up and there is display on the screen but then it gives the message: CMOS Settings Wrong, CMOS Date/Time Not Set, Press F1 to Run Setup Press F2 to load default values and continue
    When I press F2 it boots into windows and the cpu runs fullspeed but the time is wrong and when I shut down again it starts up with no screen display and shuts down in 5 secs and follow the same process.
    I have updated my bios to v7.3 since I did read through the forum and saw that there were other people that had almost the same problem like me, but I did it through Windows Live Update, and now everytime I do a bios update through live update it says that there is a newer version available (7.30), but I allready flashed it before with the same version it found on the update.
    is there any settings that would help to stable my system with my current components or is something else the matter?
    I have tried changing settings myself in the bios but everytime I do change something it does not work at all or the cpu runs at half speed in windows (1.58GHz)
    Thanks in advance

  • MOVED: MSI 7235 P965 BIOS ISSUES

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=122840.0

    Update your BIOS to the latest Version.  Download the latest BIOS from this site:
    http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=265
    ...and then  >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< to update.
    A newer BIOS should allow you to enter Frequency Values above 333 MHz.
    But please be aware that your OC plans may probably not get you where you want to go. As you are using DDR2-667 memory modules, any FSB Clock Speed above 333 MHz will force you to overclock your memory, even with the lowest Memory Frequency value (533 MHz = FSB/Memory Ratio 1:1).
    Also, the board is a low-end budget board which is not really intended for overclocking.  There is no option to change the CPU Core Voltage.  That means that your results will be limited (usually between 320 - 360 MHz FSB Clock Speed, depending on the exemplar of the processor. 
    In any case, with DDR2-667 memory modules, you do not really have the best conditions to go beyond 333 MHz FSB Clock Speed anyway.  But try your luck.  If it does not work, you can always try better memory (DDR2-800).

    BIOS v7.4b2 is a BETA-Release of the BIOS-Series that prepares the upcoming v7.4 Final Version. It is not available for public download and MSI Live Update is not programmed to find it for you.
    Also, as every Windows based flash is inherently risky and much more dangerous than any DOS based flashing mething, I suggest you do not use MSI Live Update for BIOS Updates.  Unless you are prepared and ready to face the increased risk of a bad flash resulting from using this tool, it is in your own best interest to choose a flashing procedure that will update the BIOS from a plain DOS environment.
    I have uploaded the 7.4b2-BIOS (BETA) in the following post.  Flash it at your own risk!

  • MOVED: MSI X58A-GD65 BIOS Cell Menu Bugs!

    Recommend opening a ticket with MSI Tech Support & describing in detail the problems you are having with the new bios. Since this is a user to user forum, nothing concerning a bios revision or the like is going to get fixed here. About the only advice anyone here could give would be maybe some new setting in the bios has been added, or a setting has been overlooked preventing the desired results.
    After taking a peek in the manual, nothing is shown about the board having these setting options. It's possible the new bios has incorporated it. It would show up in bios Cell Menu & the description of what it is & what it does would be in the info box to the right. When OC'ing, make sure to disable Spread Spectrum. After the bios update, did you remove the power cord from the PSU & clear CMOS?
    I have disabled the "Spread Spectrum" because it caused slow perfomance especially in SSD.
    About the power cord and clear cmos. No, never, ever.

    Tower: CoolerMaster Cosmos RC-1000

    I don't see the point of posting system specs because I'm sure it's a bug, the bios refuses to save the Cell Menu options but whatever. I can't argue with that because this information is crucial to most issues

    1. CPU fan is only one, its goes to CPU FAN header.
    2. See here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127129.0
    The keyboard key for boot menu is F11
    3. What "dead usb port"?
    Quote
    I plugged my USB keyboard/mouse in the back and it didn't work, but I plugged it into any of the other 4 USB ports and it worked.
    Assemble user's error. Check for properly connections here: >>If you are having problems with USB ports, read this topic.<<

    Additional Notes: It does boot into my old installation of Windows just fine. Do I just need to install the new drivers/utilities to make sure the motherboard works? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!
    It's recommended to perform a new fresh OS installation

    No, they don't. If they did, they would have the same name.
    http://us.msi.com/support/mb/990FXAGD65V2.html#down-bios
    That should be a link for the 990FXA-GD65V2 bios download page.
     Actually they do use the same BIOS. The link you provided stopped at BIOS 19.7 (7640vJ7.zip), BIOS files for the V2 are way out of date but the 990FXA-GD65 has updated BIOS files up to 19.9 (7640vJ9.zip) + K.x for W8. K.x should only be used with W8, not XP or W7.
    http://us.msi.com/support/mb/990FXAGD65.html#support_download
     For the FX 8320 CPU you would have needed 19.9 (7640vJ9.zip)
     Funki,
     What OS do you have?

  • MSI 890FXA beta bios

    Hi Guys, I'm trying that mobo with a Phenny2 X6 under LN2, but I'm having problems with ram management, NB frequencies ecc...
    I searched in the forums, but I didn't find nothing: is there any beta bioses to try?
    Thanks!

  • MSI-7519 BETA BIOS

    Can anyone PLZ post the 1.42 or better yet the 1.45 BIOS for the MS-7519, I emailed tech support, But they sent me the same link I used to send them my msg., Go figuire.
    Thx.....

    Just in case someone else like me likes to try the newest Beta BIOSes, I would seriously avoid 1.75b. 1.74b is OK (apart from the continuing DPC Latency issue).
    What's wrong with it? The USB controller in the SB is mis-coded. All hell breaks loose and USB ports start dropping out like crazy, if they actually work at all properly. There are some other funnies with XP too.
    This affects 7519 boards- P43 Neo F and P45 Neo F

    well the system had been working for 1 year. This trouble occurred 2 days ago, when I've tried to increase memory speed
    Well, isn't that how it always happens, when stuff breaks? It works for a year and then suddenly, it doesn't?
    Quote
    when I've tried to increase memory speed
    As I said: possibly northbridge (memory controller/PCI-E interface) related.
    Quote
    If I remove all memory sticks I hear 3 bips in a row but nothing else (the pc is stuck at the black screen).
    That still sounds normal.  The system fails to initialize the memory (since there is no module installed) and halts during the first step of memory initialization.  The same thing would happen on any other system.
    Your problem starts once you insert RAM.  Since you don't get any beeps, the system seems to start memory initialization, but gets stuck in the process, or during one of the checkpoints after that.
    I don't think there is a solution to this.  Something broke.

  • OCZ DDR3 1333 4gbkit PC3-10666 Reaper on MSI x48c platinum

    Hi to all,
    i have recently bought this pc and having some problems with it.
    here is the specs:
    -msi x48c platinum (bios v.7.4beta previous 7.3)
    -intel core 2 q9550
    -2x2gb OCZ DDR3 1333  PC3-10666 Reaper
    -ati radeon4850 512mb
    -seagate 500gb hdd
    the problem is that the mobo show me only 1067mhz for the memory instead of 1333mhz
    and i have to reset the bios each time i want to turn on my pc otherwise it just wont boot up it crashes and try to boot again but with no luck.
    i flashed the mobo with the 7.4 beta bios version but that didnt change a thing...
    if any one has any solution that will be great.
    Cheers .

    hey Remus
    do you have any other suggestions ?
    any thing that might work is welcome 
    OCZ are well known for their messed up SPD settings and "factory overclocked" memory modules.
    On the other hand, ELPIDA is a great chip maker:
    Presuming your modules are using ELPIDA chips (OCZ is using Micron and ELPIDA chips mostly),
    I don't know if you were lucky (DDR3-1333G) or not (DDR3-1066E).
    Both chips can perform DDR3-1066 CAS6.
    In any case, first of all you should try to set up the FSB/DRAM ratio in order to make them run at 1200-1266 MHz,
    set the timings to 7-7-7-20 and the voltage to 1.75-1.80V
    Take care: do not believe what OCZ states.
    Any DDR3 voltage above 1.8V is very dangerous for the health of your memory modules and mainboard!
    Also keep in mind: in many cases a damaged memory module comes with collateral damage (northbridge).
    Obviously, OCZ is not going to pay for your damaged mainboard.
    good luck

  • MSI x48c PLatinum and Intel E8600 Problem

    Hello, I'm from Greece
    My computer Setup is:
    Mobo: MSI X48C Platinum (bios version 7.0)
    CPU: INTEL CORE 2 DUO E8600
    PSU: HEROLCHI 525 Watt
    RAM: OCZ OCZ3SOE10664GK DDR3 4GB (2x2GB)
    VGA: Albatron 8800 GTS
    HDD: WD 300GB SATA
    The problem is:
    I bought them yesterday because i want to upgrade my system.
    I connect them all properly in my case and after i turn the PC on it freeze in the MSI logo screen and cant even enter BIOS Setup.
    The first time i turned the power on a message like: "Your previous overclockinn atempt was not succssefull. Press a button except del to load defaults and continue." i do what it said and freeze after that message.
    This just the first time, the other times it just freeze on the logo screen. Some times it beeps one time and reset by his own and sometimes beeps four times and then reset. The most of the times it just freezes in the logo screen.
    I took everything off and reinstall them. Nothing Happen.
    I tried with one dimm of RAM each time in deferent positions. Nothing Happen.
    I did o clear CMOS from the back button. Nothing Happen.
    I perform a clear CMOS with the old method (unplug power, remove battery, wait for a couple o minutes). Nothing Happens.
    I believe the problem is with the bios version i have and the CPU compatibility. I look at www.msi.com.tw and it said that this board its compatible with the INTEL E8600 but only at the 7.2 version.
    How will i update my bios if my computer doesnt even enter bios setup?
    Please help me. any suggestion. I'm losing my mind here!
    Thanks you in advance.

    Quote from: triangle on 28-August-08, 17:00:43
    the only thing i can suggest is to drop in a 7.0 compatible CPU (if you can) and flash the BIOS to 7.2 that way then switch back in your new CPU.  A painful process, I know ...  Alternatively, if your retailer is friendly they might set it up on a test bench for you and flash it.
    Andrew
    Like Andrew mentioned, this is the only way out though it is a long painful process.
    The other is to get a board that is compatible to the E8600 right out of the box.
