MOVED: P55-GD65 NTFS errors only in Windows 7

CPU-Z showed 666mhz.
I've clocked the RAM down to 533mhz, leaving it with the same slow timings it used for 666mhz, and its been completely stable for about a week now. I've not had chance to try the latest BIOS update (1.4) or overvolting the RAM at 666mhz, I'll get round to those at some point in the next week or two. Everything is working now though so I'm rather reluctant to mess with it.

I see.
http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=222 <- My memory.
So, should I put the MHz back to 1333 and Command rate to 2T next time I boot?
Yes, and run it at 9-9-9-24 1.5v.
Disconnect that Seagate hard drive and see if you have any problems still. Looks like that drive could be failing though. A failing hard drive can certainly cause problems on start-up.

Thank you for your reply. You are right. The bad news for me is it's a Palit and it was shipped without any information except a nvidia installation guide and cd. No audio drivers, no vtune and Palit is almost imposable to contact.

MSI P55 GD65 registers only 4gb of memory.

To start off here's my system:
CPU: Intel i5 750
Motherboard: MSI P55 GD65
Ram: 4x 2gb G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 1600 dual channel memory (8gb total)
Video card: nvidia 9600gt 512mb (temp till new AMD cards)
The bios boot screen states 4gb of DDR3 1333 ram. Going into bios, it does recognize that 4x2gb sticks are in the system, but still states only 4gb of ram available. Booting into Win7 64-bit, the Performance and Information screen states 8gb (3.99gb usable). Task manager/resource monitor also show only 4gb total. Essentially, the system knows there's 8gb but will only use 4gb.
I've been told to check for a memory remapping option in the bios, but I've seen no such option so far.

I have just recently experienced this problem. I built my machine about 3 weeks ago and everything was working great, booted first try and no errors in memtest+ or LinX or Prime95. I have been running just fine since then. I have MSI P55-GD65, Core i5 750, DDR3 2x2GB GSkill Trident 2000MHz RAM.
This past weekend I decided to mildly overclock, I upped the bclk to 160 and adjusted the DIMM voltage to 1.6 according to the RAM spec. I tested and tested this config and everything seemed stable. I have been using the machine to play games and things with no problems.
I go to resume from hibernate this morning and the machine hangs. I restart and I notice BIOS is only showing 2GB during POST. I check out the BIOS settings and it sees the 2 DIMMS, but still only shows 2GB. I boot into Windows 7 x64 and it shows 4GB (2GB Useable). Previously all 4GB were recognized and useable just fine. This may be relevant, I don't know, but I started a long video transcoding job before bed last night. Presumably this job finished and the machine went into hibernate.
I reset all settings back to default, thinking maybe my overclock wasn't as stable as I thought, but no change. Even before I reset the clocks, I tried upping the DIMM voltage, the VTT voltage, reducing RAM frequency. Nothing.
I figure maybe I need to upgrade the BIOS, as I am currently running v1.5 and latest is 1.8. I download the 1.8 image to a flash drive and try to use M-Flash to boot the BIOS image off the drive, but BIOS hangs with a repeating BEEP when I try that.
Then I noticed something very odd. When I boot up with the flash drive plugged into a USB port, BIOS reports 4GB on POST. Without the drive, 2GB on POST.
As an absolute last resort I will reseat the CPU, but after the flash drive behaviour, I am not sure it is a CPU pin-contact issue. When I get home from work I am going to flash to v1.8 BIOS and see if that helps. If not, I will reseat all DIMMS and try that. If the problem persists, I will try DIMMS individually and in different sockets and see.
Is there anything else I should try before reseating the CPU? What if I just wiggle the heatsink? If it all possible, I would like to avoid having to clean up the TIM and reapply, it was a big pain on my heatsink.
Thanks,

Cold startup windows 7 hang p55 gd65 2133MHz RAM

Hey guys,
Looking for some advice here,
Basically i can't get my RAM to work properly anywhere near rated speed. I have it in an overclocked i5 setup @ 3.7GHz with 185 bclk (p55 gd65 v1.0 BIOS)
Hence my memory options are 1110MHz, 1480MHz or 1850MHz depending on the multiplier.
To get the correct timings i loaded the XMP and then went to manual timings and subsequently disabled the XMP so it is running at rated 9-9-9-28, every one of the above timings should be well within specification. I have the memory @ 1.65v also.
At 1110MHz everything is fine.
When i up it to 1480 or 1850 i get a 'cold startup bug' for lack of a better name. i.e. windows will load and then hang, generally with a blank greeny-blue screen. if i restart the machine, it runs fine from then on. If the machine is restarted again it is fine, its only after it has been off for a significant period that i get this hang. After a restart ive prime blend tested for 15hrs without a hitch @ 1850MHz.
As everything is totally stable after this first failed load, it doesnt seem like anything is faulty per se, but just something isnt being detected correctly at this first attempt which is making me think it could be BIOS related. I have a release day board with v1.0 and im considering m-flashing to the latest v1.5. In v1.4 notes it states "Improved memory compatibility", could that be where my solution lies. I fully understand the risks associated with BIOS flashing so i wanted i few opinions on the problem if at all possible before i do something i could regret.....
Cheers for any help you guys can provide!

P55 gd65 w/ core i3 530 -- only PCI-E x8

My cooler will be in tomorrow so i figured id prepare my self for the (deadly bios update).
Ive read problems with pci e running at 8x instead of 16 with the i3.
Basically what is the best way i can update my bios for my i3?
live update m-flash... etc
Specs:
core i3 530
msi p55 gd65
ocz 550w
win 7 64
wd black 640gb
sapphire 5770

Yeah the more reading I do the more I see it happening to soooo many different typed of setups. It affects AMD and Intel, ATI and Nvidia...everything. From old systems to state of the art rigs. Seems pretty common. I would never have heard about this "bug" though unless it happened to me, and it did lol.
*EDIT*
WOOOT!! (kind of, read on)
Well I tried to flash BIOS one more time before I gave up, I went to BIOS 1.4 (again) since people said it's the most stable (could be wrong just what I read).
My computer wouldn't boot into Windows 7 after the flash, it would just go to the windows logo then reboot and repeat that. So I removed 1 stick of RAM and rebooted. It worked. I got into windows and checked GPU-Z and it said it was running @ x16!
So I shut it down and put the 2nd stick of RAM back in. Tried booting, didn't work, did the same thing as before. So I switch the sticks and they BOTH boot up the system as long as they are in alone in the DIMM1 slot. Weird....
That tells me there's something wrong with my DIMM2 slot now...maybe, going to try a few things.
Now, I'm wondering if the card running @ x16 is because I removed a RAM stick. I have read that removing hardware can fix the bug temporarily, but it seems to be sticking for me. Time to make a thread for myself if I don't fix this soon.
But I can say that flashing to BIOS 1.4 did fix my GPU bug and is running @ x16...just that I have to do it with 2GB instead of 4GB (until I figure it out).
So try taking out 1 stick of RAM and see if it affects it, I'm not the only one that has reported that having an effect.

Firefox does not start in MacOS in 10.6.7. For some reason I cannot create a new profile as recommended (error message Error: Platform version '1.9.2.16' is not compatible with minVersion = 1.9.2.17 maxVersion = 1.9.2.17) further help only for windows

tried to create new profile using Terminal but error message. cannot open in safe mode, instructions are only for windows All my bookmarks are in firefox

I had already tried a reinstall before, but thanks for the suggestion. Starting FF in Safe mode did not help either.
XULRunner is specific to FF. Mostly found discussion about using the code in web pages when I used Google before posting.
When FF went from version 3.6.14 to version 3.6.15 this issue started. Please note the Error message and the version info I just mentioned.
'''"Platform version '1.9.2.15' is not compatible with minVersion > =1.9.2.14 maxVersion < = 1.9.2.14"'''
'''The Platform was revved up from 1.9.2.14 to1.9.2.15'''
I could not find information on: minVersion or maxVersion much less how to change them in XULRunner.
'''''It is definitely a Mozilla FF issue'''''.
Avast sandbox is up to date and works just fine with everything else. More importantly it worked just before the update was installed.
The only reason I bothered with the update is because Mozilla touted it as a security issue and there was NO mention of any known issues with sandbox software.

I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone. The iPhone only accepts transfers from the original iTunes PC.

I have moved my iTunes library to a new Windows 7 PC and cannot transfer music from the new iTunes PC to my iPhone 4S. The iPhone will only accept music transfers from the original iTunes PC. I have come to understand that an iPhone can have only one "daddy" iTunes PC, but have not been able to find out how to change the "daddy". I have done a backup of the iPhone, and a "Restore to Original Settings". Then I restored the content using the new iTunes PC. My Apps and contacts, etc. are back on the iPhone, but it still won't accept music from the new iTunes PC.

What happens when you try to sync the iphone to the new computer?

I'm using a 2014 iMac and a Win 8.1 64bit install disc with bootcamp. I created the ISO according to the instructions but when I selected it in bootcamp I got the following error "Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or later..."

Bootcamp rejects the ISO file made from a windows 8.1 disc with the error message "Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or later installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for Windows 7 or later installation."
How do I get past this?

Hi Loner T
No the ISO is just 64bit. I bought a shrink wrapped copy of 8.1 full version. It has two discs, one for 32bit and one for 64bit. I used the 64bit disc.
I inserted it in an older iMac that has a dvd drive, and shared that across to my new iMac. I used disc utility to create a disc image following instructions I found here...
Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD - Apple Support
This created an ISO file. I then went into bootcamp but when I tried to use the ISO file to create a boot USB it failed with the error above.

P55-GD65 registers only half of memory (now won't even boot)

Hi
i have big problem with deployment of new system. Specs :
MSI P55-GD65
Patriot Sector 5 PGV34G1600ELK 2X2GB
Intel i7 860
CHIEFTEC 500W
NV 7900 gs (connected for diagnostic reasons)
First, BIOS recognized only half amount of RAM (2gb from 4gb)
-updated BIOS to 1.5 - nothing changed
-cleared CMOS and restored defaults - nothing changed
Second, i tried to instal win7/win2008r2 - freezes after installation booting progress bar disappears (tried to boot from USB key and from network deployment server)
Then, i tried to install win2003 - success! but system works unstable (eg once frozen at cinebench multicore test, once BSOD while booting etc)
CPU-Z recognized properly amount of installed RAM (and said that dual channel is disabled), but system still says that is only 2 gigs of ram.
Then, i found on this board that CPU bented pins could cause the problem, so i checked pins, and they seems to look fine (Hi res photo of pins)
After i mounted CPU back, the system event won't boot - all six CPU phase diods on main board are active, fans turns on, but boot process won't start.
Anyone know is there any way to fix it? (before i give back everything to vendor)

i just bought my MSI P55-GD80 yesterday. i just hope i wont be getting the same issue as some other guys do.
im planning on building my new rig tomorrow because i dont have my memory cards and video card yet(might get these items tomorrow).
so yeah, i will be checking the CPU seating. will try to seat it once then remove it for the pin contacts checking. and i hope too that the mobo i got has at least the 1.4 BIOS version, because to tell the truth i never done any BIOS flashing before(actually ive done it once with my XPS 630i rig and it went easy for me to do. i dont know whats the procedure for the MSI boards so no idea at all). and to tell the truth, this is my first time building my own rig so im a bit excited and i prioritize durability(long lasting) and always hoping not to get any problem building my very own rig for the first time.
**so here is my question :
how will i know if the CPU pad doesnt have a good contact with the socket pins?
what should i do if after checking i find out that my CPU pad doesnt have a good contact with the socket pins?
what if after checking i find out my CPU doesnt have good contact with the socket pins but with my GD80 reading 4gb of my memory cards?
if you wanna know where i got my board, i bought it here in japan from a known computer parts retailer. and yes im living here for now and its really hard for me to return my product if its faulty because, first im not that good at speaking japanese language, and second they might have different procedure for returning products that i might not know.
thanks in advance, will appreciate any help and reply,
Skaahr
***edited : i just checked the sticker from my mobo which i read from the other topic that tells it shows the BIOS version in your mobo, the tiny green sticker shows me this " IMS140 " does it means i have the 1.4 BIOS version?

P55-GD65 BSOD Issues, Help very much appreciated!

Hi Guys,
I recently bought a new PC with a P55-GD65 motherboard and Im getting a lot of blue screens.
I started a topic on SevenForums and attached all dump files but it seems the problem is hard to pin down.
The topic and dump files can be found here: http://www.sevenforums.com/crashes-debugging/48197-please-help-bsod-new-windows-7-x64-pc.html
Im using the latest BIOS (1.5), Im running Windows 7 x64 Home Premium with latest updates and Im using the latest MSI drivers for the Motherboard.
The only software installed is:
- Eve Online client
- Steam and Modern Warfare 2
- Teamspeak RC2
- MS Security Essentials
- PC Angel (revovery software)
On SevenForums I was advised to check my harddrives, I runned HD Tune and my drives showed no errors.
I was also advised to run memtest, Im running it for over 4.5 hours now without any errors.
I realy dont know what I can do anymore. Do you guys have any advise what else I can try?
I have changed nothing in the BIOS itself and Im not overclocking the system.
Should I manually adjust some settings maybe?
Below is my hardware configuration:
CPU: Intel Core i7-860 2899 1156
Motherboard: MSI P55-GD65 (BIOS 1.5)
Memory: 4GB (2 modules of 2GB): OCZ Platinum Low Voltage OCZ3P1333LV4GK

I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance

New P55-GD65 System with old already installeWindows 7 doesn't boot, Blue screen

I just built my new system with these specs
1. Core i5
2. P55-GD65
3. Kingston 2x2gb 1333Mhz DDR3
4. MSI N275GTX Twin FROZR
5. 650watt PSU
6. Sony DVD/CD RW+
7. BIOS Ver 1.2
I had a 500gb SATA WD HDD which i used with my old system, with windows 7 ultimate 32bit and windows xp 64bit installed. It was working pretty fine with that system. When i built this new rig, i installed the same HDD with it but wt i now face is that my win7 doesn't boot. Soon after windows 7's logo appears, the system reboots after a short blue screen. On reboot win7 asks for a startup repair . . . when i go for it, it fails to repair. I get the following thing in error;
Problem event name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01: (win 7's version is listed here - the same goes for Prob Signature 02)

I even tried to go for Repair through Windows 7 CD but in vain.
Can anybody help me here. I really don't want to go for a fresh installation.

P.S
My XP 64bit works pretty fine wid it although some drivers for "SM BUS Controller" and "Base System Cannot" can't be found.. The problem is only wid win7.

will give a try to install msi drivers using my old system and then connecting the HDD back to this new rig.... Hope it will work...!!!!
That activity is pointless. You cannot install drivers for stuff that is not there on your old system.
Please do yourself a favour and stop dancing around this whole problem (which seems like a pseudo-problem to me). Putting on a fresh installation of the operating system is the first thing that should be done on a new system configuration. Even if you manage to get stuff working without reinstalling, you are working with a potential driver mess and a confused Windows Registry that may throw problems at you that you may currently not be an issue.

MSI P55 GD65 - BSOD - MEMORY_MANAGEMENT

I'm facing a weird issue with my pc:
If I turn on the PC, the system starts up fine, but within 30 secs up to 5 minutes I get a BSOD (usually MEMORY_MANAGEMENT).
If I then restart the system it will run fine..
CPU intensive gaming, memory checks, benchmarks, standby and wakeup, all runs fine... after a first BSOD.
I've tried all kinds of memory settings, but nothing seems to help. Also hard to test if it runs fine after a crash.
It's almost like the system needs to warm-up a bit and then it will run fine
The BSOD message indicates a memory issue, but then I would expect random BSOD, not only right after cold start.
Any suggestions?

Status update:
I've reset the bios to safe defaults.
Started up memtest86+ and screen turned red rather then blue, so lots of mem-errors.
Restarted and then memtest ran fine for more then 10 hours.
Passed 20 times all tests no errors with both Dimms inserted.
Then I tested cold start with 1 dimm only:
- with 1 DIMM in slot 3 only system cold-starts fine and memtest runs fine with no errors.
- with 1 DIMM in slot 1 only system cold-starts fine and memtest starts up but then doesn't even start a test. So it seems to be hanging already.
Swapping both dimms showed the same result.
Preliminary conclusion now is a faulty slot 1
Does it indeed sound like a slot 1 issue?
MB is the worst part to RMA, so hopefully I can find a solution.... slot 1 seems not to be completely broken after all.
PS: increasing to 1.6V I had already tried before without success.
