- Fixed system report incorrect memory size when install 4G memory.
- Support 1000 GB HDD.
- Support NV 9X series VGA card.
Because these fix and support are suitable for my situation.I am currently installing 12G memory and 2TB WD Hard Drive also NV 9X series VGA card are exactly in use.
I have tried many other versions such as 1.7 1.6 1.5 1.4 1.3 1.2 1.1 but the situation is the same。

P45D3 Platinum Unable to Overclock

The initial BIOS version（1.0） Overclocked just fine.But when I upgraded to the latest version of the BIOS(1.8/1.9) Problems began to appear. CPU FSB Frequency or CPU Ratio could not be modified even with +1Mhz , If do so save and exit bios restart system for the first time during Windows7 starting process after microsoft logo appear then suddenly blue screen then restart the system and bad things happened.CPU Fan running at full speed nothing shows on monitor‎,That's right The same situation with overclocking failure But this time reboot the system three times save system form failed overclocking mechanism won't work the only option is to Clear CMOS.After Cleared CMOS enter the BIOS Cell menu this time CPU Ratio shows 60.
My Hardware Specifications:
Mainboard:MSI P45D3 Platinum BIOS 1.9
CPU:Intel® Core™2 Extreme Processor QX9650 (12M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 1333 MHz FSB)
Memory:Corsair 4G DDR3 1600 CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 2G*2
It's seem the situation I described above is happened to those CPU Ratio adjustable Intel Extreme Edition Processor.
Wait reply....

Hi to all I don't succeed in making the overclock on the p45d3 platinum.
The bridges are on default however I don't succeed in changing the FSB.
Could you help me?
Thanks.

Please provide full system specs, otherwise it is hard to give any recommendations for overclocking...

Memory upgrade on P45D3 Platinum

Hello,
I currently use the following configuration:
- P45D3 Platinum motherboard
- Intel Core2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.175GHz
- 2x 1Gb Corsair CM3X1024-1333C9DHX 9-9-9-24
- ATI Radeon HD3650
- Bios v1.6
- Windows XP SP3
- no overclocking
I would like to upgrade to 4Gb (the purpose of this upgrade is to use Windows 7 on my PC)
My first idea is to buy 2 additional modules (2x 1Gb) of the same Corsair memory parts and to plug them on the 2 remaining slots of the motherboard.
But, according to the test report on memories for P45D3 Platinum found on MSI site, only the configuration with 2x 1Gb Corsair CM3X1024-1333C9 has been tested.
Should I understand that plugging 4 of these Corsair modules does not work on P45D3 Platinum?
Is anybody using P45D3 Platinum with 4x 1Gb Corsair modules (same modules than the ones I use)?
The alternative solution is to buy 2x 2Gb memory modules (one of those listed on the test report) but it will be more expensive.
Can anyboby help me to choose the right configuration?
Thank you
Best regards
Didier

Have you considered installing the 32-bit version of Windows 7? 2GB RAM should be fine with that version. If you buy the retail version of Windows 7 you should get both the 32-bit and 64-bit discs.
You'll be able to run 4 x 1GB modules as the motherboard supports the following:
• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600* (OC) DRAM, 8GB Max
It may not have been tested in the report but it should in theory be fine.

- FlyveKristoffer

Hi FlyveKristoffel,
Had same problems with my P45D3 Platinum, including no- or bad initialisation of my videocard. Checked at the website of producer of my memorymodules for the optimal settings and found that the units were in fact overclocked and needed voltage setting of 1.8V instead of 1.5 and so on.
Changed settings in the BIOS accordingly and even redused memoryclock to 1033MHz.
Updated the BIOS to version 1.4 and are very happy with the results.
My system boots reasonably well at the moment. There are still some problems but that is not for this mail.
Me be this data is usefull for you.
Kind regards

P45D3 Platinum Bios 1.72 Beta

Should we trust this bios version ?
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/BIOS/Msi/MSI-P45D3-Platinum-Bios-172-Beta.shtml
My bios version is 1.6
Because i want my memory (OCZ Gold XTC OCZ3G13332G ) running at 1333MHz, only can run it stable at 1066MHz.
Heres my OCZ memory post:

The industry standard voltage for all DDR3 memory modules is 1.5V +/- 0.075V. The fact that your modules need 1.7-1.9V for DDR3-1333/CL9 tells you that these are factory overclocked DDR3-1066 modules, not true DDR3-1333 which should run at a standard voltage of 1.5V +/-0.075V as well. Also, please note that the P45 Chipset natively only supports DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 memory modules. From the point of view of the chipset, forcing the memory speed to DDR3-1333 is overclocking and not necessarely stable.
You are basically overclocking the memory controller/chipset and your modules. This causes stability problems in many cases. Also, your problem is not necessarely BIOS related. Have you tested real DDR3-1333 modules that are built to run @1.5V JEDEC Standard voltage?

It is already outdated. To my information, the latest BETA Release is v1.7b4. I don't have the changelogs for BIOS v1.7b3 and v1.7b4, but the following changes were made in v1.7b1 and v1.7b2:
v1.6 --> v1.7b1
- Fix Memtest fail with Elixir M2F2G64CB8HA4N-DG 2G*2 DDR3-1600.

- Fix CrossFire Function fail when use MS-V162 (R4650-D1G) x 2 pcs.

P45D3 Platinum Power Issue

The story so far:
April 2009 - I purchased a new PC using the P45D3 Platinum. I ran into issues as the memory I purchased was actually overclocked by the automatic settings in the BIOS (DDR1333). The issues were resolved in a few days and memory tests passed without issue and Windows no longer froze randomly. The PC ran perfectly (essentially 24/7) until 2 weeks ago (November 2010).
The key bad part:
The machine powered off while doing nothing out of the ordinary. Upon powering it up again the power turned on and then off and then on again... and off again after some random amount of time. (this happened for a couple days until it was at the point the machine would only remain on for a few seconds at a time)
The aftermath
I figured it was the power supply so I ordered a PSU tester and then a new power supply. (The tester is a great tool to have!) The new and old PSU both passed the power supply tester's requirements without issue. The new power supply upon first boot hit the exact same issue where it powered on and then off. Upon second boot it stayed on for about 5 days. Everything looked great and I was ready to get back to happily computing.
The aftermath (Part 2)
...It died again. It shut off on its own and was back to the "powers on for seconds and then powers down." (and back on ... then back off) I removed just about everything and ran the board bare with just about nothing (tested with CPU+Fan only as a last test). The results were the same every single time.
Power motherboard on by button on motherboard
CPU/PSU Fan spins for ~10 seconds
CPU/PSU stops for ~5 seconds -- appears to be shut off completely
CPU/PSU Fan spins for ?? seconds
Now I am here posting in hopes that someone has some ideas/suggestions. I saw this link about double booting, definitely something I seem to hit every time I power on the motherboard... https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=117807.0

I'm punting on this issue completely. I purchased a new motherboard and CPU (P55A Fuzion + i7 870). To return the P45D3 for a replacement seems like it will cost about $70+ (shipping to and then the MSI fee for replacement on older hardware) and just is not worth it. Has anyone else had experience returning a motherboard? What was your overall cost?

P45d3 platinum with geil PC3-12800 1600MHz 7-7-7 DC Kit

Hi to all in September it will arrive to me p45d3 platinum with the geils PC3-12800 1600MHz 7-7-7 DC Kit however reading in the forum there are also problems with memories 1333 mhz and it needs to plan her to 1066 mhz.
Will this problem be resolved?
Is the technical support aware of the problems?
Thanks

I just have 2 other OCZ RAM [OCZ3P13332GK] and freezes become -hardcore- with it. -> it's worst
Well, those modules are known trouble makers. "DDR3-1333" is an overclocked rating to begin with (they are actually just DDR3-1066 sticks) and they require 1.8V (0.3V above DDR3 industry standard). Search for "OCZ3P13332GK" in the OCZ Forum. You will find 133 threads, most of them about stability problems on all kinds of different systems.

It's the timings I usually use
I did not say anything about timings, but about frequency and voltage settings.
Quote
beside it's DDR3-16000 with XMP profile, factory tested
XMP Profiles are overclocking profiles. Where those modules "factory tested" on your particular mainboard? Where does OCZ mention what systems/chipsets where used during the test procedures to see if the memory overclock results in a stable system in all possible system configurations? That is why I stay away from OCZ. Too many compatibility problems because of non-standard operating parameters.
According to Intel Specifications, the Intel P45 Chipset is only specified for DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 operation. That is it.

I'm a bit disappointed (2 years having problems).
Well, the question is where the problems originate. If the problem related to the brand of memory modules or the board needs to be found out by testing. I told you that two years ago:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=1aa3592c1969cc6b801df9255eb8aba2&topic=119076.msg898953#msg898953

Zoidberg_fr, can you test a different set of DDR3-RAM (preferably not factory-overclocked and non-OCZ)?
... and the suggestion is still the same now.
If there is a problem with the board (and it could have been a problem with the board two years ago), RMA would have been the right thing to do. Now it is almost a little late for that.

P45D3 platinum gskill ripjaws DDR-3 1600 problem

Hi to all.
I have a problem my p45d3 platinum (bios 1.7B2) and gskill ripjaws 1600 4GB ( http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=222 )
I can't run this ram at its default speed, it can't go higher than 1333 mhz.
I read that this is a common problem with this motherboard, because many ddr3-1600 are overclocked and overvolted ddr3-1066/1333 and no real ddr3-1600.
But i think i have REAL ddr3-1600 ram, because its voltage is "only" 1,5V.
So, why my motherboard recognize it as ddr3-1333? Additionally, this ram supports xmp: if i enable it, bios recognize the right speed, but system does not boot.
I tried to increase the ram voltage and manually set the default timings, but without luck.
What can i do? I see there are a lot of other parameters about ram which can be set, but i don't know how... maybe someone can give me some advices?
Thank you to all, hope semebody can help me. And sorry for my english
Kind regards

Hi,
Can you please provide a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" View?
Keep in mind, that the Intel P45 Chipset (well, it's memory controller) natively only supports DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 memory modules (according to Intel Specifications). So, operation @DDR3-1600 is not a given under all circumstances.

I have tried to install Windows Xp, I comes as far to "Windows Xp begins" (in the installation process..) when a blue screen apears.
So I tested to install Ubuntu, with no problem.. (apart from that I am a beginner at linux, and got all the usuall problems....)
I wanted to try update my bios, but how ??..
the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool requires a windows installation on a computer with msi board..
I was plaining to use my old computer to unpack it in to an usb flash drive...
Please help!

Beginning to think that also my harddrives died..
Well, you should check that first. It does not make much sense to keep trying things if you are unsure if the drives are even operable.

how can I get Windows to further work on my old 40 gig..?

What is the error message that appears on the blue screen? Please write down the STOP ERROR Code and check if a specific file is mentioned.

PC won't boot after memory upgrade (on MSI P45D3 Platinum)

I am having a problem on my MSI P45D3 Platinum motherboard system (Dual OS: Win XP and Win 7)
Until recently I was running it on PATRIOT 2GB (2x1GB) 1600MHz DDR3 PDC32G1600LLK memory (CL7) and all was fine, though running only at 1066MHz, since I couldn't tweak the settings (latencies/voltage) in order for it to run at 1600MHz.
I wanted to add RAM but since I couldn't find the same type anywhere in my town, I decided to go for PATRIOT 4GB (2x2GB) 1600MHz DDR3 PSD34G1600KH Signature Line (CL9). However, the system never booted again (blank screen, no signal sent to monitor) after adding the two new sticks of RAM! The new RAM is working fine when I remove the old and vice versa, so I know it is not a case of defective sticks.
I must mention that I cannot fiddle with the RAM timings because I cannot even reach BIOS!
Any help will be most welcome!

Mixing different memory modules is always a gamble and likely to cause such problems. Identical modules should be used for best results.
In many cases, you can set what you want regarding memory configuration, getting the RAM mixture to work stable will simply be impossible, even though there is no defect.

Problem with MSI P45D3 Platinum

Hi, I've just built myself a new computer but it wont start. When I turn the power on on the power supply all that happens is a red led on the motherboard starts to flash. The led is under my graphic card on the right hand side of the board, I think its the led3 thats flashing. Nothing else works, the power supply fan and the cpu fan both dont run. The power switch on the front of the case does not work.
Is the red flashing led the standby led?
Any help would be great.

Try to push the onboard-power-on button and see if that changes anything.
In case the problem still occurs, please take the board out of the case and test it on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration.
If that still does not solve the problem, test a different Power Supply Unit, maybe your's broke (had the same symptoms once with a broken Be Quiet PSU on a P45 Platinum).
Should a different PSU not solve the problem, RMA the board.
