MSI 845 Pro4 6391 problem with 512mb ram.

Configuration:
MSI 845 Pro4 6391 board
768 mb. PC133 sdram (3 x 256)
Gforce2 mx/mx 400, 64 mb.
Realtech PCI 10/100 ethernet
PCI modem, Generic SoftK56
Firewire controler, Texas Instruments
Maxtor 40GB and Maxtor 60 GB harddrives
DVD drive and CD-Rom burner.
Dual Boot - Win98/WinXP home
Problem:
With more that 512 mb ram, regardless of the which ram blocks or the size of these, certain programs refuse to run in either win98 (VCACHE is set to 512 mb) or winXP. A program may run under win98 but not under winXP and vice versa. The machine also seems to be a bit more unstable in general with more than 512 mb.
Both the board drivers and bios have been updated with the latest versions. Burnin tests have been run without showing any errors.
With 512 mb or less there are no problems.
Apart from the option that it is a known, but undokumented problem, (which a leading manufakturer like MSI wouldn´t be a part of, or would they) I have come to the conclusion that there is a fault in the motherboard.
Any suggestions or sollutions?

first some boards never seem to run 3 dimms in harmoney
second it is normally more likley to work if they are all same brand and size
third 98 can throw a wobbler with over 512 i assume thats the reg fix your referring to
my self i would not buy a third matching as i cannot put hand on heart and say that will 100 percent fix it
test report does not help at all as all were 64 dimmslink

[Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

First post, whoo hooo
So what version of BIOS are u running? I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems. With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you. Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems. Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

MSI-6380 (KT266) Problem with 512M RAM

Hello everynone.
Here is my config:
MSI - 6380 Motherboard (Via KT266)
AC '97 Sound is enabled.
Windows 2000 Pro - SP3
Matrox G400-32M AGP card
512M-PC2100 (generic)
Maxtor 27GB Drive
Linksys LNE100TX LAN Card
Liteon 16/10/40 CDRW
Logitech USB/Optical Mouse
MSFT - Internet Explorer Pro Keyboard
I recently swapped out a 256MB module for the 512MB module. Ever since I did this, the mouse performance is crappy. For example, the mouse is sitting idle and I go to move it - the mouse does not respond right away like it is asleep, then it works fine. After I stop moving the mouse, the problem will randomly occur again.
Is there some sort of issue with 512MB ram modules and this motherboard? Do I need to tweak some bios setting, or load some new driver?
Also, if someone couls explain the USER memory configuration to me, maybe I should use 1T timing????
HELP!!! ?(

To me there is not a logical relationship between a memory update and mouse response. Maybe I am asking the obvious, but if you have a mouse with batteries, are these still okay? My optical/wireless mouse goes to sleep after about 5 minutes to save battery power. I need to click a button to wake it up.
The relationship between changing memory module and mouse could be entirely coincidental.
Memory settings. I never use SPD, but always user. Start with everything in the slowest setting (usually highest value). One or max two settings at the time are changed and run a demo like 3Dmax2001 continuously to see if it crashes.

I think theres a problem with my ram someone help me please

I have a ibook g4 mid 2005 model and the hard drive says zero kb free i deleted half of my applications i dont need and it still says zero kb free. is there a problem with my ram? or is there a mac virus or somthing? also when i opened a game after a while it said force quit please and delete stuff becuase your hard drive is full. someone help me please!

It does not sound like a RAM issue but a disk problem. You might just need to empty the trash so that the deleted space is marked free. Otherwise it is best to boot from an install CD, run Disk Utility, and do a "Repair Disk"

Leopard 10.5 with 512mb ram

Hello i have the leopard disc that i purchased today and was wondering is how fast is the speed with 512mb ram? I'm planning on upgrading my ram later, but i'm stuck with a 512mb ram. Is it the same speed as running 10.4? Feel free to post your answers. Thanks in advance.

10.5 won't really be any slower than 10.4 with 512MB; with both versions, you will notice sluggish behavior when you are running more than one application at once, or doing anything processor intensive.
RAM is cheap these days, and it isn't hard to install. 1 or 2 GB would be nice, depending on how much your mac can take.
[OWC|www.macsales.com] has a great site where you can find the exact type your mac needs, and there are online video instructions on how to install it.

PM8M-V compatibility problems with different rams?

hi, can anyone help? i'm having problems with two rams...as one is a geil 512 DDR3200 ram and the other a kingston 256 DDR3200 ram. problem is the first boot is ok as bios detects both rams...but after shutting down and restarting again, the system only detects the 256ram... but if i only put the 512, its ok on its on. if the 256, its ok on its own too...but if both, the it won't boot up or sometimes if i'm lucky it only detects the 256 if both is in...any suggestions?
RIG:
P4 3.2Ghz
Geil 512 DDR3200
Kingston 256 DDR3200
SATA II Western Digital 120GB

sadly with only 2 dimms...it doesn't really work...so how? sigh...i don't think the seller will allow a change don't they?

MSI K8N Neo Platinum & Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM Problem

I have had MSI K8N Neo Platinum and 1x Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM for 11 months.
I have had 1x Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM for 2.5 months, for a total of two.
I have had MSI GeForce 6600GT (NX6600GT-VTD) 128MB AGP for 1 month.
For about 1.5 to 2 weeks, I have been seeing random crashes while playing PC games.
I started a thread on the Hard OCP forums a few days ago. I did not know MSI had forums =)
Rather than re-typing, I may as well just post the link:
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=934956
My issue is also similar to this one:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=83799.0
Thanks for the help.

ALL RIGHT, after almost FOUR months my issue is FINALLY resolved.
It is amazing how much time passes when you are hesitant to buy parts unless you are 95% sure it will fix the problem.
OK, here is an update as to what I remember.
I went to BIOS 1.4 and tried many different physical and BIOS RAM configurations (Different seating, different number of DIMMs, different RAM timings, voltages, etc).
I concluded that I could not make my PC 100% stable, but I could get it darn close. With certain settings, such as DDR400, 2-2-2-6, 1T, 2.80V, Aggressive Timing enabled, Memtest failed test #5 every time (this is spec for my RAM). With other settings, such as DDR333, 2.5-3-3-7, 2T, Auto V, Aggressive Timing enabled, Memtest failed test #5 maybe once out of 5000.
I also concluded that the RAM voltage and Aggressive Timing setting was having a big impact. Some settings would not work (failed Memtest) with RAM at 2.80V but would work with RAM at Auto V. Some settings would not work (failed Memtest) with Aggressive Timing enabled but would work with it disabled.
Finally, I started to occasionally get R,G,R,G (Processor Initialization) on the D-Bracket upon cold-start & warm-start, which suggests a PSU issue:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=76972.msg542545#msg542545
That pushed me over the top, and I decided to buy a new PSU (TG-480-U22) and a new SATA HDD (WD2500KS) just because.
Problem solved. Thanks for all the help.
I will continue to buy MSI in the future just because of these forums…and a good product of course!

MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM problem with ram 800MHz

Hello.
I have problem with ram frequency.
I have MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM and OCZ 2x2GB 800MHz CL5 but in bios I see that my ram runs in 667 MHz. Because I have 800MHz ram, so it shouldn't be default 800MHz and not 667MHz? What I have to do to show bios that I have 800MHz ram?

Quote from: DaLoona
Oke, but they told me when i bought my new system that XP auto adjusts the speed of the memory.
XP 64 bit can works normally with 4 or more GB they said, just like vista.
Just typing what "the professional's" at the store said.

MSI Z97 Gaming 3 problems with ram

Sorry for my bad english. I have only one bank of ram 4GB Kingston Fury 1866MHz and some problems with it. When it's installed on DIMM1, in UEFI BIOS, in Windows 8.1 Pro x64, aida64, cpuz, ram saw as DIMM3! If it's installed DIMM2 saw as DIMM4, or installed DIMM3 saw as DIMM1! What's that? What kind of problem on my motherboard?
Fresh BIOS version 2.6 installed.

One detail i loose in my spec, PSU: Seasonic SS-750HT(750W).
To your signature.
Quote from: rocketpowerik
And last one if i changed OC ram settings to 2133MHz or 2200, 1.65v., and CL10 Performance preset.
No much difference with stock preset.
You can only compare same software results, each software give slight different results.

Butt i watched review when my memory with same settings demonstrated 20000MB/s read/write results.

[845 Series] mb msi 848p neo-v problems with sound card

Since I've bought my new MB, I'm experiancing some problems with my sound card. WinAmp and MusicMatch Jukebox ( any version) does not support 5.1 sound system, but playing in stereo system. The soundcard AC97 is OK, cause Winows Media Player is working properly.Does anyone had such problem and solved it?
I must say that I've already used MSI MB, and all APPs worked properly with the same sound card. The difference is that my ex MB was based on old Intel processors, but not Presscot based as this one.

Have you installed the latest driver to
the Realtec soundchip(ALC 655)?

P35 Neo-FI memory problem with 4 ram sticks

Hi,
I have a problem to get my 4 ram sticks to work. a1 and a2 works but soon as i put another ram in to motherboard example to b1 or b2 it wont post anything on the screen. I know that my 4 rams works ok and i dont have any problem with them. I have also tryied to turn up the dimm voltage but with out luck. Please help me!
CPU = Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (bios 1.3)
Motherboard = MSI P35 NEO-FI, P35, Socket-775, DDR2,
Memory= 4 * Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 2048MB, 256Meg x 64, CL5, 667MHz, 240-pin
Grafic card = Gainward GeForce 8400GS 256MB DDR2, PCI-Express, DVI/Tv-Out, SilentFX

I'm not sure if the board can directly support 8GB instantly, which may also explain that it can run 4GB without a hitch.

MSI 651 Combo / MS6769 Problem with Temperature

Hi. I´m having some troubles with my mb, since 2 weeks ago. Suddenly, it starts to appear that cpu temperature go 70 º C (158 º F), and i hadn´t do anything. I changed the cooler, and put some new grease, and nothing happen. Then i searched in this forum, and i found a message simmilar, that said something about upgrade bios, and thas what i recently do (WS6769 v1.0 originally, then V1.3, then V1.2). But nothing...
What should i do? buy another mb? I don´t want to.
Thanks.
Claudio

Well, i´m pretty sure that it is the mother board, because, i already changed all what´s possible to change: processor, RAM, hd, power supply, processor.
Din: I don´t know what´s "corecenter". I already upgraded BIOS (to v1.2 that supuestly fix my problem), and put thermal paste (grease? in spanish "pasta disipadora") between CPU cooler and CPU. And i do change the processor (i put a p4 1,8GHz), with other FAN processor (CPU cooler), and the same temperature.
Danny:Those details you ask me:
In a label on the power supply (lVoltage MAXAmpere): +5V 30A, +3.3V 20A, +12V 15A, -12V 0.8A, -5V 0.5A, +5Vsb 2.5A.
It is a Maxpower 300 Watts ATX, model PX300.
On BIOS PC Health: Sys Temp: 18ºC/66ºF, CPU Temp 66ºC/150ºF (up to 70ºC), CPU Fan speed 2909 RPM, Vcore 1.68V, 3.3V 3.26V, +5V 5.10V, +12V 12.03V, -12V -12.19V, VBAT(V) 3.26V, 5Vsb(V) 5.14V.
I have a Celeron 1,8 GHz, socket 478, a MSI 651 Combo MS6769 Motheboard, with nothing else. Hd Maxtor 30Gb, Rewriter MSI 52x24x52.
The problem: From one day to another, it wasn´t load XP. It resets itself after a few seconds (about 5 secs). On the BIOS PC Health section, i actived the CPU Temperature beep on "too much degrees" (i don´t remember the exact name, but that´s the idea). And that´s how i realize that the temperature is the problem. I think it is how the motherboard inform the temperature, and it is a nominal temperature, not real. If it´s real, i already had a burnt processor.
Anything else that can help to find a solution for me?
Very thanks.
Claudio

870A-G54 problems with bios, ram and CnQ

Hello i have some weird problems with my mobo. CnQ dont work i dont know why , in bios all options are turned not automaticly but forced to be "enable" ,and still my procesor multipler and voltages don't change , at the beginning after installing win7 64x it worked but now no :/.
2.next i have problems with memory i have corsair xms3 2x2gb [email protected] at old bios(AH0) my memory just did'nt want to work on 1.6k in dual channel and 1,2 slot i tried even to use default voltages tested by corsair (1.65V i had to use 1.66) result it dont work. after putting them into 3,4 slot it works even on 1.5V not 1.65V then i used to have them on 3,4 slot do u think that 1,2 slot is damaged ?.
3.Problems by bios. I updated my bios to the lastest version (from software downloaded from msi.com probably it had name "live update 5") , of course updated by usb stick .Then after update i see that my ram looks like reserved bios showing me that i have 2gigs of ram -.- (but only on 3,4 slot x.x) after change slots (1,2) it working and see my full ram (4gigs). Is that HD0 beta version of bios ? it looks like that .I don't see my logo screen it looks like that option was cut off from the bios , i don't see any "corporation" logo while booting the system.
I though that msi making solid motherboards as u can see i have many problems with this mobo.
Help me and thanks for all post (which wanna help me :D)
