MSI 770-C45 Constant BSOD

Hi,
About a month ago I updated my video card drivers, bios and chip set drivers to their latest versions. After doing this my system has become increasingly more unstable giving me BSOD with PFN_LIST_CORRUPT and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT reasons. I am also getting a lot of application crashes (Explorer, Display Device, Direct Show) and freezes.
The BSOD's seem to disappear sometimes for a few days (usually after I've gone into safe mode to check something) and then after a cold boot come back again.
My first thought was that this is due to the display driver as the system can be completely stable when running from a DVI connection and then gives these BSOD's when the HDMI connection with HDMI audio is connected. However after lots of good support from ATI/AMD they are pointing the finger at other hardware (memory/motherboard).
I have run memtest86+ against my OCZ Gold 12800 Dual Channel however it shows no errors. I checked my timings and found them to be off: had 7-7-7-16 in BIOS and 6-6-6-15 in CPUID (anyone know why these would be different). So I changed the settings to force 8-8-8 (could not change TRAS so it is still showing as 16 rather than 24). I also read a few other forum posts that boosted the voltage to the NB and DRAM... therefore I set the voltage to the NB CPU at 1.6 (max before red) and DRAM at 1.63 (max before red). I also changed the spread spectrum to disabled and forced the 1T/2T to 2T. However after all these changes, the system has become slightly more stable (would run a few benchmarks) but would then crash again while doing something random (playing a game or using notepad) with another BSOD with MEMORY MANAGEMENT error.
Anyone know what settings I should be using for my OCZ3G16002G? Could the fact that the memory states 1.7 volts and I can only set 1.63? Could it be that I cannot seem to change the TRAS and it seems to auto set it to 16? Any other ideas?
I'm at a loss with this system, any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have a 500 watt Coolermaster 80+ PSU. The memory is 2 DIMMS of OCZ3G16002G (by OCZ) rated for 8-8-8-24. I have no overclocking running... if fact this is a media system and thus I am running AMD cool and quiet.
I am running Win 7 64 bit with latest updates.
As further information, tonight I tried to change the memory timings again, but can only set the CAS, TRCD and TRP. I don't seem to be able to change the TRAS (states auto in bios and defaults to 16). When running benchmarks on the system tonight, the crashes appear less frequent but happen after the system is placed under more stress. I have also started to see two new BSOD messages: "Bad Pool Headers" and "Bad Pool Caller".
Cheers,
Gary

MSI 770-C45 with TV turner card problem

My problem is that it will freeze up after I start the TV turner program. I have tried two different TV turner cards, both are of PCI-E 1X interface. Both TV turner works fine in other motherboard of 780G chipset (Vista or Window 7). Currently I am using Mygica 8557 in a 64 bit Windows 7 environment, the computer will freeze 30 seconds after the TV software (TotalMedia) start . However, I can ran 3DMark2006 without any problem. Before using Mygica 8557, I use another TV turner PE186Q , the case is even worse, the computer will freeze during driver installation (Vista 32bit) . But the same card work fine with another brand 790GX motherboard.
I would suspect it is the IRQ problem but since there is no adjustment option for PCI-E resouces in BIOS, there is nothing I can do.
Did anyone have the same problem like mine ?
My config is as follow :
Phenom II 545
MSI 770-C45
G. Skill DDR3-1333 2G x 2
WD 320G hard disk
ATI 2600XT

Thanks for all the advice.
Tried with 1 stick and the system was alot more stable, no BSOD's or any kind of freezing. I ran prime95 overnight with 1 stick and all was fine, if I insert another stick the system is still stable but I get an error in prime95 after a few minutes.

Re-test the each stick alone. [You may have defective stick]
If each one is stable at his own, before fill all 4 DIMM's:
* Leave Memory timings to Auto
* Ensure 2T is used
* Drop memory freq. to 1066
* Apply memory voltage recommended by memory vendor

MSI 770-C45 memory caching shadowing

I use I 770-C45 motherboard and I want to install Windows 7 Ultimate. But I get BSOD's when the installation is going on or shortly after that. I think I have to disable memory caching/shadowing, but I can't find this options in the bios. Do these options have other names? Where can I find the options to disable them?

- AMD Athlon II X4 630 2.8GHz 2MB AM3 Box
- MSI 770-C45 AMD 770 (could not locate erp), (bios 7599v11)
- OCZ 2x2GB DDR3 PC8500 CL7.0 Gold Edition
- XFX ATI Radeon 4870HD PCI-E 512 MB
- Samsung 1TB SATA300 32MB, HD103UJ
- PSU: OCZ Voeding StealthXStream 500W (DC: +3.3V, +5V, +12V1, +12V2, -12V, +5Vsb)
- Windows 7 Ultimate
One time the install of Windows was possible, but after that I got several BSOD's (with different codes: 0x0000007e, 4e, 8e, 50, 34). I wanted to install Windows 7 Ultimate for the second time, third time and so on, but I always get a BSOD when the install is working (extract files or when the install is finishing).
I got the advice to disable memory shadowing/caching in the bios, but I can't find these options. Are there maybe other things to do to make the computer work?

MSI 770-C45 locking up/blue screening/other errors on boot

I recently built a new HTPC and have been having allot of problems getting it to boot. It may take 10-15min of trying to boot up over and over with random blue screens, lockups, or errors that the C drive needs to be checked for consistency before Windows will finally load up and work. At first I thought it was a bad drive, but according to Western Digital’s HDD Diag util, both the controller and the drives surface checks out OK. I just wiped the drive out and reinstalled Windows 7 again, and this time went with IDE instead of AHCI, hoping it was a driver issue. It only worked well for a day before the same problems started rearing their ugly head again.
At this point I don’t know if I have a memory issue, a CMOS setting wrong (which are All Auto), or what. I hoping someone here might have an idea of what this problem could be.

According to MSI, my motherboard supports the following modules:
DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600*(OC)
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=656&prod_no=1812
This are the speeds of the DDR 3 RAM supported ,1600Mhz beeing done with overclocking ,because the CPU memory controller is no able to do 1600 by default.
Quote from: Mavrick007 on 23-July-10, 02:39:51
When I look at the test results for my Motherboard:
http://www.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1812.pdf
I see 1333 RAM list like PC11000 DDR III RAM (DDR-1333). However, If I go to a site like Bestbuy or NewEgg and search for DDR3 1333, it shows results like Corsair - 2-Pack 2GB PC3-10666 DDR3 DIMM Memory Kit. I see PC3-10666 and PC3-10600, but nothing for PC11000.
The only mention of 1333 modules on the test report is for 1333 OC
When you see the PC 11000 DDR3 or PC3 10666 specifications they are refering to the theoretical bandwidth ,it s related to the frequency of course ,but it s something else it s a data rate.Its wikipedia but it s good enough -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_3 Some specs are atipical like 10666 ,marketing thngyes
Search the internet for memory that works ok with your CPU ,look for "real" DDR 3 1066Mhz or DDR 3 1333Mhz."real" means that that memory should be able to run at those frequencies without voltage increase over the default one.Usually when a memory vendor says you need to increase voltage for a specific frequency it means that you overclock and that there is no warranty they will work in your configuration.
So you need DDR 3 1066Mhz or DDR 3 1333Mhz ,it needs to be AMD tested memory and it needs to be a known to work RAM on MSI motherboards timings wise.Look up on newegg and see what works.
The performance gaps between 1066 and 1333 are small in real practice and you can overcome some loss by using a "real" DDR 3 1066Mhz , tweaking different timings ,using Command Rate of 1T for example ( you may "feel" it smoother in desktop than a 1333Mhz at 2T).

MSI 770-C45 DDR3 1600 Problems

Hi people,
Sorry if this is a common problem but did look through the forum but couldnt quite find a problem like mine.
I have followed custom pc computer build for a gaming rig and have had hang ups randomly which allow me to do nothing but switch off system.
To cut a long story short i have tried everything to fix this but now it seems to be running ok as i have changed settings for ram to 9-9-9-24 and timing to 2T.
I have also set the volts up to 1.77 (or nearby) but i am wondering if this is correct thing to do. I am stress testing it now with prime95 and hoping these setting are correct.
M/B=msi 770-c45
Mem=corsair dominator ddr3 1600 (2 sticks in same colour port which is blue)
Proc=AMD athlon II 2 pro

If the system is stable, then dont change anything.
An AMD-cpu does NOT support 1600MHz -- that is, the memory controller can handle 1066MHz or so. If you set the memory frequency higher, then you are overclocking the system which may result in freezing or other system problems. By losening timings a bit (9-9-9-24 2T) you solved it. Now, keep on testing. If the lot stays stable, then don't change anything else.
Also, use CPU-Z to see what timings/frequency-combinations your memory can handle.

MSI 770-C45 - Windows Install stuck on 'system is starting windows'

Hello,
I am trying to get a machine setup, everything seems to be booting fine and nothing wrong hardware wise. When I attempt to install Windows XP Pro SP1 or Windows 7 Pro, I don't get to the 'select partition' step. It gets stuck on 'system is starting windows' each time.
I have flashed the bios to the latest (1.4) and it didn't help it either. When looking online I just find too many individual problems and answers to this issue. I am at work now so when I get home I will update with more info as well as try a few more troubleshooting steps.

As a note, I am troubleshooting a friends computer that he was setting up. Further troubleshooting steps by me:
Fredrik, I was unable to find the speed/memory handling option in the BIOs to change it down to UDMA2.
I don't have a spare set of DDR3 Ram to test that out. Have a spare PSU to test with but haven't done that yet.
Switched out the DVD Drive to a Lite-On IT Corp. Model LH-52C1P DVD burner and it got stuck on 'Setup is loading files (Windows Executive)'
Attempted to switch out the IDE Cable for the DVD Drive and found I couldn't put a new one into the Motherboard.
Seems two pins (one over the other on the far left side) are bent just a little out of place and are loose. Looks like I might need to exchange the board for a new one by the looks of it.

MSI 770-C45 Gameport compatibility

The problem:
I have an MSI 770-C45 mainboard and want to use the gameport on an Ensoniq ES1370. I can't get it to work in any way. I think the cause may be the mainboard reserving hardware address 201 for its own purposes (at least Windows XP tells me so, range 0x201 - 0x201 conflicts with "Motherboard resources" twice). Am I correct on this? Is there any way to get the gameport to work?

That thing must be more than 10 years old and drivers are probably no good for XP. Creative took over the company so you would need to check with them if there are updated drivers.

It works flawlessly under XP (Professional) on another computer with an AMD processor, though that computer is less recent . Think Athlon 2600+, GeForce FX5200 and so on.
Quote from: Stu on 21-May-10, 06:35:50
Why do you need the gameport? If its for a game controller, why not treat yourself to a modern USB one? As Henry says, I've not seen any devices that connect to a gameport for 10 years or so now...
There is that; it may not be worth the effort to get the old gameport gamepad working.
Quote from: Mike on 21-May-10, 07:37:29
Yes, there are converters.
>>>Gameport to USB adapters<<<
=) Those are more expensive than a shiny new USB gamepad.

MSI 770-C45 incompatible with Phenom Z965??

Hello there
Recently I've got the Phenom x4 Z965 (125TDP) to replace my old and trusty Athlon x2 250
My mobo as I said is the MSI 770-C45
From the cpu support of my mobo I saw that the current phenom is compatible
I connect everything with each other, cpu, mobo, psu etc, I updated the bios to the latest (1F), I did C-MOS, I load optimised setting from the bios menu, but my pc doesn't boot, it's always get stucked when the colourfoul circles of win7 shows up
whenever i put back my old Athlon everything works like a charm
my psu I believe is powerfull enough to handle phenom (Thermaltake Berlin 630W)
Can anybody suggest a thing??
I'm devasted
Thanks in advance

thanks for the reply
unfortunatelly I live in a small island where almost all my relatives don't have AM3
as concern the format I believe the solution is hiden there, but I don't want to format my system at the present time

Msi 770-C45 problem. not posting

Dear MSI,
i have got exact same problem as in https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129732.0
when i start computer cpu, gpu, psu everything works but nothing shows up on monitor. it's not gpu problem. i tried everything, no result. what's more interesting, when i switch off power supply and switch it back again, computer starts automatically. i thought it was because of power button, but no. any ideas? thanks!
-mobo: msi 770-C45
-cpu: AMD Phenom2 x3
-ram: mushkin ddr3
-psu: OCZ 600 MXSP

Do you also have a vga? What means Mushkin ddr3? Number of sticks? Mushkin Model? Exact cpu model name?
Also we won't read through that old thread so describe for yourself. As you are saying dear MSI let me remind you that this is a Users-to-Users Forum so you are not talking to MSI.

MSI 770-c45 wakeup on lan

I saw in bios that board have wake up event setup for lan, mouse, keyboard usb, and etc but I did not make anything to work. When I shutdown computer, board just switch off everything, no power on mouse, keyboard, lan on switch goes off.
Does msi 770-c45 is working with wakeup events or those options in bios are there just decoration?!?
Thanks for help!
P.S. before MSI I had Gigabyte board witch worked fine wol

Thanks for trying to help!
I did not reinstall windows, I have win7 and winxp. Win7 have all drivers by default so switching board was really easy there. Anyway I think its not win problem, as I said when I shutdown computer, board just switch off everything, no power on mouse, keyboard, lan led on switch goes off. To wake up board on event from device you need power, so wake up on keyboard and mouse also does not work, no power, I switch them on in bios of course.
Long time ago boards had jumper which you needed to put if you wanted wake up on keyboard or mouse, without jumper no power like in my case. With out led ON on my switch wol will not work that's for sure. Its really looking that board is missing power management for wakeup events, but I cant believe that is true as today every board have wol by default. Old cheap boards which I have in my company have wol, every single board so far which I saw have wol, MSI did not implemented in MSI 770-C45 ?!?
Regarding S3 I dont know.
This could be important to, mouse is on USB and keyboard is on PS2, so there is no power on USB or on PS2?!? Strange!

MSI 770-C45 (SB 710) Sata hotswap ?

Hello guys,
Does anyone know if the sata ports from AMD's SB710 southbrige (on the MSI 770-C45 motherboard) support SATA-Hotswap ?
I'd like to connect the esata connector on the front of my sonata III case but i need to know if it's safe first.
Or does anyone have a nice chart with AMD's southbridges listing their features ?
Thx in advance.

Quote from: Bas on 11-July-09, 02:42:55
Any special reason why you want to do that?
It should handle the same as an USB-stick, however, harddisks are a lot larger.
And best to be unmounted before removed.
Safest way is and will ever be to shutdown the system.
Like i said, the reason i want to do this is to connect the front esata connector of my case to a sata port on the motherboard. Then i would be able to connect a external esata drive.
