MS-7512 Ver 1.1 stuck at memory detection test

Been using this machine for a good year now:
P45 Platinum MS-7512 ver 1.1
2x 2GB OCZ PC2 8500 [email protected]
Intel Q9550
Asus HD4850
It has very minor rebooting/stability issues, but nothing that can't be fixed with a reboot.
But yesterday it went into a constant cycle of rebooting: it will try to boot, then reset itself and boot again, without POSTing properly.
I cleared the CMOS and now it's stuck at the memory detection test: no beeps, no display, but fans and leds are all working.
I've done the following:
- disconnected all HDDs and peripherals
- clearing the CMOS multiple times (also tried removing the CMOS batt)
- reseated the gfx card and RAM
- moved RAM to DIMM 1 & 3, instead of the original DIMM 2 & 4 (in the initial building, the machine didn't POST when I had my RAM sticks in 1 & 3; it worked on 2 & 4, so I didn't think much of it)
- one stick of RAM on DIMM 1
- tried a single stick of my friend's Kingston RAM on DIMM 1
Any more ideas?
I'll be borrowing another gfx card for testing; I just hope it's not the motherboard I have to replace.

What PSU are you using? Please list out the PSU specs and amps.
I'm using the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad
Quote
According to the label, the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 Quad will deliver 224 amps on the +3.3V rail and 30 amps on the +5V rail, for a total combined power output of 170W. There is one single 12V rail, and it outputs up to 60 amps! As we mentioned, the Silencer 750 Quad's wattage rating is a Sustained Output Value, not Peak. There is a big difference. The Silencer 750 Quad can reach a max of 825W during peak loads.

865PE Neo2(6728) D-Bracket hangs at Memory Detection Test

This is terribly annoying... I just bought the mother board... Its a 865PE Neo2(6728)800mhzFSB the processor is P4 2.4ghz 800mhz, 512k l2-Cache. I dont know who made it like i know nothing about northwood or whatever, it says Intel on the box... I have 512MB of "Legacy Electronics" PC3200 64x64 DDR... I also just bought a NVdia G4 Ti-4200 64mb DDR 4x AGP made by Pixelview. I have a 160GB WD 8mb Cache 7200 HD... Ok the problem is when i go to boot up the computer, the VIDEO doesnt come on, and when i installed the "D-Bracket" the lights hang at 3 light, top right green all other red... Says in the manual that problem is memory detection test, testing onboard memory size, will hang if damaged or not installed properly. Ok. I have no idea how that wo;uld happen so, just to check i took out RAM, no dice, i changed video cards to MX440 G4, no dice, i tried disconnection the PCI slot which has the 160GB hard drive connected(why it needs this i dont know, according to WD WinXP needs...) none of this changes anything.. How do i check the onboard memory or could it be anything else? Ok thats all i have thanks for the help!!

Did you tried to boot up the system without the D-Bracket?
Yes it still does nothing, no video... Thats why i put in the D-Bracket. It doesnt sound like its going through the POST either.. I dont know if computers do that anymore thou;gh haha..
If you did, did you change to another piece of RAM to test?
I have no more DDR to put in, only SDRam and im sure that wont work.. I tried moving to different slots, 1 3 and 4 thinking maybe it was backwords i dunno... Didnt do anything, and you USED to be able to take the ram out and still boot into bios etc...
Did you change any settings in your BIOS?
I havent even gotten video, nada... Black screen.
What is the wattage of the PSU you are using now?
Where do i find the wattage? The watts on the case is uh... 350 or 400 one of the two... The case says USB Deluxe P4 Case... And the watts on the Power supply is 115 if thats what you were wondering... Hope that answer the question

SLI Platinum Hangs at Memory Detection Test

Hi Guys
A little help needed for the new boy
Just purchased the following;
AMD (Venice) Athlon 64 3500+ 939pin 512Kb
MSI K8N Platinum SLi
Gigabyte GeForce 6600GT 128MB PCI-E
Kingston KVR400X64C3AK2/1G -1GB (512MB 64M x 64-Bit x 2 pcs.) DDR400 CL3 184-Pin DIMM Kit
Tagan 480W Low Noise Power Supply
Unfortunately it doesn't get past the memory test. I have tried removing one of the DIMMs reaseating it and then tried in in every socket one by one and then swapped it for the DIMM I removed and tried the process again...nothing. Anyone got any other ideas? at the moment I don't have any more DIMMs to try and eliminate the memory as the problem. I am guessing it will end up being either memory or board failure.
Cheers
Gareth

hi big man,
how do I change the voltage on the dram slots to 2.65v~2.85v?
Cheers
Go into BIOS in the Cell Menu->Memory Voltage set it to 2.65v for instance, I think your memory works at that voltage, but you can see that in the manufacturer site.
Be well....

848P Neo LS "Memory Detection Test" hang

On ocassion my pc won't do a soft reboot. It hangs at the MD Test. ( according to the Diagnostic LED's on the back. I've swapped the Dimms slots (only 2 on this board ) and I've ran windows mem test from a floppy. No errors were found w/it.
And sometimes it reboots up normally.
Is this perhaps due to a weak power supply?

OK, i upped the DRAM voltage to 2.70. Only way to do that on my board is to enable performace settings in the bios. So, I then disabled "overclocking" and had to reset ALL my settings.
Ya know, why does MSI offer a board w/SATA and even when you use the Performance settings you still have to go and change the On-Chip ATA operation mode from legacy to native and THEN you STILL have to adjust so the SATA is read 1st, whew. not to mention the other settings. Like enable floppy drive seek and the like.
Anyway, when i did ALL this, and "saved settings" It STILL hung at reboot. System is on, keyboard is active optical drive checks itself out, but no signal to my monitor, and it will stay like that for infinity! LOL
Is my power supply perhaps to small? I have a 400watt:
from the label on it's side,
SH SH-400ATX
(all it gives is the colors of the individual power cables and there respective outputs, so... here goes)
ORANGE: +3.3V 20A MAX
RED : +5V 40AMAX
YELLOW: +12V 16A MAX
WHITE: -5V 0.5A MAX
BLUE: -12V 0.5A MAX
PURPLE: +5SVSB 2A MAX
I would use this PSU if i thought it would last, but I've had it in another system for about 2 years and I dont know how much "life" it might have left in it.
How do you know if your PSU is going bad anyway, .... Just wait for the fan to start making a noise?

When I exit firefox it closes the program but it gets stuck in memory so when I open it again i have to kill the process in task manager

When I exit firefox it closes the program but it gets stuck in memory so when I open it again i have to kill the process in task manager, and it can be right away or I can come back a few hours later and its still stuck in task manager, I am tired of having to kill the processes every time I use firefox.

[[Firefox is already running but is not responding]]
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

Out of memory detected in log.xml

Hi,
Our db version is 11.1.0.7.0 and in log.xml we see out of memory error like this
Out of memory detected in /u01/app/oracle/admin/diag/rdbms/ABCD/alert/log.xml at time/line number: Tue Feb 15 03:09:11 2011/54933.
Alert log file looks ok.
How to prevent this?

You need to provide more information than that. I presume you got this from the OEM alert.
Try looking in /u01/app/oracle/admin/diag/rdbms/ABCD/ABCD/trace/alert_ABCD.log and look at any entries for February 15th. That might point you in the right direction.

KT3 Ultra2 hangs during POST - Memory Detection

System specs:
KT3 Ultra2
Athlon XP 1900+
GeForce4 Ti4200
PC2700 512MB RAM non-ECC
***Nothing else connected***
The system only passes POST after clearing CMOS. When I load the default BIOS settings, the system hangs when it gets to the Memory Detection step of POST. I have tried different memory sticks and even motherboards with the same results. This seems to be a BIOS settings issue. Any Ideas???

I have tried 2. Mushkin (Samsung chips) with a heat sink. The other was oem and the chips are also Samsung. Same problem with both.
The Mushkin works fine in another system.

My computer is stuck at a 'Detecting Storage device' screen

Hi, my desktop is won't start up correctly?
For some reason it's stuck at a Detecting Storage device screen and won't go any further...
PLEASE HELP!

Your PC is behind one bios update that deal in a black screen issue coming out of sleep mode. The problem is you get update the bios until your PC a stable.
Did you try clearing the CMOS?
Do you have a set of the HP recovery disks? Do you have any bootable disks?
Did you make any recent changes to your PC?

Memory detection failed

Hi!!!
I buy MSI KT3 ULTRA 2 and I have this problem...
When I start computer D-bracket signals that memory detection failed.I hear long signals.I shut computer and I unplug from electrical network.When I after plug all be ok!!!! I don't understand.Where is problem?
Motheboard? or incompability memory.
I Changed memory but problem stay.
Sorry for my English!!! )
Thank you everyone for answer!!!!

Hi,
Suggestion:
1. try different DIMM slots I did but not changed
2. try different RAM (you did already, ok :P )
3. try different power supply unit new 350W
4. go into the BIOS and set "Load BIOS Setup Default", leave the RAM settings default.

P45 Platinum fails memory detection sometimes...

System:
MSI P45 Platinum bios 1.0
OCZ 4 GB (2x2 ) (OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 / 1066 MHz / Platinum Series / 4GB / Dual Channel) 5-5-5-18 @ 2.1
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/memory/ocz_ddr2_pc2_8500_platinum_4gb_edition_dual_channel
Intel E8400 E0 stepping
EVGA 260 GTX Core 216 GPU
Samsung HD642JJ 640GB HD
Enermax Modu82 625W EMD625AWT PSU
All default bios settings except I turned spread spectrum turned off.
The first time I powered on, everything worked fine. I installed Vista 64 bit home premium (rebooting several times), several software packages (rebooting several times) and everything was good. The next day, the BIOS hung w/ the LED's showing a 'memory detection error' (red-red-green-red).
So I started swapping memory sticks - between each memory swap, I unplugged the PSU and cleared CMOS before rebooting.
I had 1 stick of RAM in each orange slot. Tried moving them to the green slots but got the same error. I removed the second stick, and everything worked fine. Removed stick #1, put in stick #2 and everything worked fine. So it seemed to boot fine with just stick 1 or just stick 2 but not both.
However, I came back after lunch and tried with just stick #1 and got the same memory error. Cleared CMOS again and then it booted fine. Tried swapping out stick #1 for stick #2 and it failed again. Put stick #1 back in by itself and it still failed. So I'm getting very (seemingly) random behavior.
When it does get boot fine, I've checked the BIOS and it's selecting the correct memory timings listed on the OCZ page (5-5-5-18 @ 2.1V) automatically. The only bios change I've made (besides setting the time) was to turn off spread spectrum.
If just one stick failed, I'd say it's obviously the RAM. But since either stick seems to work every once in awhile and both sticks worked the first time I tried it, I'm not sure if it's the main board or the RAM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Before you consider updating your BIOS, please try to stabilize the system:
- use one stick of RAM only
- set FSB/Memory Ratio to 1:1.2 in BIOS (=DDR2-800)
- adjust memory voltage to 1.95V
- Disable Spread Spectrum
After that, see if the problem still occurs and run memtest86+ to check memory stability.

Nokia 5800xm;- phone gets stuck while memory card ...

hi guys,
my nokia 5800xm is getting stuck when i put on the memory card. the memory card is also not reading. when i put other memory cards it works(the phone and the memory card works)
so please help me
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It must be a faulty card. Try formatting it and see if it works. If not then you should replace it.

New build P7N SLI-FI stuck on Memory Check

I have a new build with the following components:
Case: Aluminus ULTRA
Mobo: MSI P7N SLI-FI
CPU: Intel E8400, 3ghz LGA775, 1333 fsb, Core 2 Duo
PSU: Rosewill Extreme RX950-s-b, 80 Plus
HDD: Seagate Barracuda, 7200 SATAII
Memory: 4 X CM2X1024-6400C4 (DDR2 800 1gb sticks)
Video Card: NVidia GeForce 9500 GT
Everything is plugged in according to the directions with the mobo, I connected the 24 pin power, and the 8 pin power for the CPU. Everything is brand new, I carefully seated the CPU and cooler.
The thing gets as far as the memory check and stalls.. nothing more. At one point the message concerning the DEL or F11 key to go to BIOS or Boot came up but pressing either did nothing.
I remove the mobo from the chassis and place it on a non conductive surface.. no luck. Same result.
I remove all memory sticks but one ... still same result.
This is extremely frustrating.. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

Thanks for your reply.
Sorry for the crack about the Intel board...just frustrated.
So the company that I bought the board from (local company) actually loaned me a CPU that worked fine (Pentium 4), so I could flash the BIOS. I was pleasantly surprised. There is some definite value to buying from your local shop, I never shopped there before.. but I am glad I did this time... they are very trusting people.
Now my next problem; I do not have a license for Windows (nor do I have any Windows media laying around). I am a Linux user.
I have OpenSuse 10.3 up and running on this machine now and it is running great. I would however like to use my new processor so I need to flash to 7380 ver. 2.1.
Is there any utility for flashing the BIOS under Linux?
Thanks again,
Joe

MSI-6368 ver 2.1 very poor memory performance

Hi i recently recapped a very old MS-6368 mainboard after which it came up. Previously it used to freeze just before loading OS. The complete system specs are as follows:
P3 8.5C @ FSB 100 = 850 MHz
2 Sticks of PC133 SDRAM (Kingston 512MB & Non-branded 256 MB)
MSI 6368 ver 2.1
Onboard Trident Graphics
Cooler Master 350W
Seagate 20GB HDD (ST320413A), UATA-5
BIOS - optimal settings, Memory Clock - HOSTCLK+33MHz(133 MHz)
WinXP SP3.
I'm getting a memory transfer rate of just 97 MB/s in Memtest and in AIDA (memory read, write, copy & latency as 150MB/s, 306MB/s, 189 MB/s, 220.7ns). I have installed latest drivers (VIA 4 in 1) and still no improvement in memory throughput. Memory timing has been set by SPD.
a) One thing i have observed is "In order Queue Depth value" is 1. Is it normal?
b) I'm planning to use memory interleave enabler for this VIA chipset.
I will be grateful if someone who had this mainboard earlier can share the BIOS settings.

hi, i'm trying to install a pci graphics card(Zotac GT520 conventional PCI) into this old system to play some classic games. It is not getting selected as the primary display device by BIOS during boot though "Init Display" is set to PCI. So i have to boot into dos and by tweaking PCI configuration registers of the graphics card, i'm able to get it to work under windows.
But the performance is really poor probably due to incomplete manual tweaking. I was just assigning BAR's to the discrete card. System information utilities report onboard's video BIOS and not that of the discrete card. I guess the problem may be due to incompatibility in pci versions. Motherboard supports old pci spec 2.1 or 2.2 and the new graphics card may be complying to version 3.0. Further the graphics card is not an actual PCI card. It is a PCI-Express card with a PCI to PCI-E reversible bridge. However the specification states that the PCI-E should be compatible with PCI at software level.
Has anyone in this forum had a working system with MS-6368 mainboard with PCI graphics card? If so, did a normal pci graphics card(not the reversible bridge type as mentioned above) become the primary display device during boot?
thanks,
gandhi.

C240 M3 Stuck at "Configuring and testing memory .."

Hi,
This server's just been returned to us from Cisco, who had it on loan since it was new. We're trying to put it back into service, but have hit the following problem.
On first power-up the server gets as far as the "Configuring and testing memory .." message. Just that message, it doesn't show any progress in actually testing memory. After a few seconds it shuts itself down, then spins up again, repeating that a couple of times before sitting with the "Configuring and testing memory .." message at the top of the screen, but now also showing CIMC IP address at the bottom. All four LEDs above the power button show steady green, and the unit ID buttons switch the blue LED on/off as they should.
I can get to the CIMC login screen, but the password's been changed from default so can't get any further in that direction until we find out the new user/password details. Unless someone knows how to reset CIMC to default.
I've tried the following recovery steps ..
(1) If we set the "Clear CMOS" jumper J2065, the server won't power up. It powers up to standby, but does not respond on pressing the power button.
(2) Using the "BIOS recovery" jumper J2068 doesn't appear to have any effect, the server does not read the recovery file from USB flash drive.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tony S

Cheers. There's not much to reseat at this stage. The server came back with two CPUs of unknown type, I've removed and set those aside in case they're some sort of weird CPU that needs a special memory configuration.
We've fitted a single E5-2609 as CPU1 and single DIMM in A1. There are no PCI cards or anything else to reseat. As a matter of fact the server behaves exactly the same if there's no memory at all, making me think it's hanging up before starting the memory check.
I would love to get into the CIMC, but does anyone know a way to reset the username/password other than via the BIOS screens (which aren't accessible).
Thanks, Tony S
