Msi 915G combo-fr memory readout problem

well i bought this ram which is capable of running at 533 mhz at 3224 timing or 700 mhz at 43312 timing so i buy it right and i buy this board so ever thing boots up but it reads it as 400 so i go in bios and put it to 533 but it still says 400 when boot. i think there needs to be a bios update and also when i raid fsb frequency is raises the fsb above 533 but it doesnt give me that fsb eather it over clocks from 400 so if i have 250 fsb it will make it 500 witch is under the miniumum setting for my ram so what could be done to fix this i think is bios programmer guys at msi provide bios update with a forcable memory fsb option that raises or lowers by typing in or raising 1 mhz at a time link to memory http://www.techniz.co.uk/modules.php?name=Reviews&rop=showcontent&id=186
some people with problems i have also links

thank you very much

Please read the Forum Rules. You are asking to speak with someone from MSI and there aren't any that visit here.
You are asking for a memory clock that is totally independent from the cpu clock. That will not work; they have to run at a fixed ratio. No bios change can possible "fix" the physically impossible.
Your best memory performance is when the two clocks run syncrhonously, which for your cpu is 400. The ram you have purchased would be suitable for a 1066 FSB cpu and board without overclocking, or it is great stuff for overclocking.

MSI KT2 Combo-L Memory Timing Problem

Currently I have two sticks of Kingston 256MB PC3200 CAS3-3-3-8 ram on this motherboard. (Worked in Dual Channel in my P4P800 at 2.5-2-3-5@PC3200)
Running AMD XP2000+, 266FSB
They're rated to perform fine with 2-2-2-6 timing in PC2100 mode...(checked both datasheets and utilities)
I have already set all these in the BIOS with Command Rate = 1T, FastCommand = Ultra, Bank-Interleave = 4 way
Funny thing is, in CPU-Z or other utilities. I'm getting 2-3-3-6...or RAS to CAS delay = 3, RAS Precharge = 3 instead of both being 2.
Is there any way to fix this problem as I want to set the timing as low as possible...
Thanks.

...CPU-Z is probably reading SPD rather than your BIOS setting...
SPD has 2-2-2-6 at 266MHz...
So i doubt it's just CPU-Z. Even Everest and Sandra report the same thing.
The funny thing is that it wouldn't lower it anymore even tho I chose all the lowest values...On my other AMD machine, I could lower it all to 2-2-2-6. This is the reason I'm asking.

MSI 915G combo no sound or internet

Hi
Motherboard: MSI 915G Combo
For one day ago I decided to format my hard drive.
I installed Windows Xp professional and all drivers.
But when the computer had started up so didnt the sound or the internet work, I've tried to reinstall the drivers to my motherboard, but it didnt work. So are there a problem with my motherboard, or something else?

Have you installed the cmedia audio drivers properly? Get the latest ones from http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=604&kind=1

Re: MSI 785GM-E51 and memory modules problems -l- Split

I am using AMD PHENOM II 1055 125w CPU on MSI 785GM-E51. Memory Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600 x4
I can put memory in slot 1 and 3 it will boot fine.
If I install DDR3 in slot 1 and 2 the system will not boot. If I full populate all the memory slots it will not boot
In both scenario's after the system does not boot and go back to just using slots 1 and 3 the system boot with CMOS checksum error and need to go in to BIOS setup. All the changes need to be made again, saved and exit and it reboots fine.
I have already attempted to setup the memory speed to 1333 and 1066 with no luck. Any ideas?

MSI 785GM-E51 and memory modules problems

Could anyone help me with one problem. I have motherboard MSI 785GM-E51 and 4 memory modules GOODRAM GR 1333D364L9/2G. But when I'm inserting ALL modules my system not starting (even POST procedure). So working variants - when I'm inserting:
- one module in first (boot) slot
or
- they inserted in first and third memory slots
Any ideas?

It is not motherboard problem, but processor itself - I have AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3,4 Ghz Core Revision C2 and this revision (according to the article: http://www.fcenter.ru/online.shtml?articles/hardware/processors/27650#02) has problems with support memory modules DDR3-1333 Mhz more than 2 modules. Conclusion - either adjust BIOS settings concerning memory timings and memory controller voltage or replace this kind of processor with the same type but with core revision C3

MSI Z77A-G43 - extreme memory profile problem

Hello everyone,
I’d really appreciate a piece of help here. I’ve bought the MSI motherboard MSI Z77A-G43 and currently I’m having problems with my memory (slots 1 and 3). My PC has following specs:
-   MSI Z77A-G43
-   Intel Core i5 2500K (not overclocked)
-   RAM Patriot 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 (PGD38G1600ELK) G2 Series
Everything is set to default values and works fine. But when I enter the BIOS, I see that the memory is automatically set to 1333 MHz. The memory has the XPM. But when I set the XPM (agressive timing, 1600 MHz) support (no other changes) and reboot the PC, it doesn’t work (endless reboot looping). Is there any way how I can make the XPM modus work? The memory is OK (tried on other MBs, XPM without problems), the CPU too. I tried overclocking, with slightly increased voltage I can easily reach 4,8 GHz on CPU, basically everything else is fine. The PSU is also sufficient (700W, OCZ). I can too set the memory on 1600 MHz manually, but the timing isn’t that good.
It’s actually a failure I can live with, but since it’s a brand new PC, I’d like to get the best out of it.
Many thanks
V.K.

Sometimes manually setting them works when XMP refuses to.
I don't know what the XMP SPD profile for that memory is, and a screenshot of your SPD and memory tabs would help.
However try the following.
Disable XMP and reboot so they are back at 1333.
Manually set it to 1600 and ensure manual setting of the timings to 9.9.9.24 see if that works.
If not set your DRAM voltage to 1,575V and see if that works.
It may be that your memory requires 1,65V, in which case, that is what you have to set. You should be able to see that in CPU-Z SPD tab under the XMP profile column.

915G Combo graphic memory

I cant see that how can i fix graphic memory in bios.
How can I configure or arrange graphic memory? For example; how can i
fixed 64 MB? Which program have to be used?
Aperture size option in the bios arranges how much graphic memory reserved from the all system memory. I dont ask that. My problem is how can i fix some memory part in the aperture size memory.
Thank you for your answers...

All of the bottom from the 30262304.pdf in http://www.intel.com
2.2.2 Fixed Memory
Fixed is a memory allocation method addition to the Unified Memory Architecture (UMA) concept, wherein a static amount of page-locked graphics memory is allocated during driver initialization. This fixed amount will provide the total amount of graphics memory available to the system and is intended to provide the user with a guaranteed amount of graphics memory at all times. Once the fixed amount is allocated during OS boot and driver initialization, this system
memory amount will no longer be available to the OS. However, the OS will still report total system memory as including this allocated amount (as opposed to pre-allocated).
2.2.3 DVMT Memory
DVMT is an enhancement of the UMA concept, wherein the graphics driver allocates memory as needed for running graphics applications. The graphics driver is cooperatively using this memory with other system components. If a user is not performing any graphics-intensive operations, most of the DVMT memory can be utilized by the operating system for other uses. In an environment where the user is unlikely to run games that require a large amount of memory, the memory will
be available for other uses such as database applications etc. In an environment where the user is playing games or may not run any data intensive non-graphics applications, the memory will automatically be used to optimize the graphics. Intel recommends using the DVMT setting for better overall system performance.
2.2.4 “Fixed” + “DVMT” Memory “Fixed” + “DVMT” is a memory allocation in addition to the UMA concept, wherein a static amount of page-locked graphics memory is allocated during driver initialization and an additional amount of DVMT graphics memory is allocated and de-allocated based upon system need. This
new memory allocation addition provides guaranteed amount of graphics memory while providing the capability to scale the amount of available graphics memory to a higher amount needed by applications (up to the maximum supported by the GMCH and system memory installation – see table below). This allocation method, Fixed + DVMT, allows for the static allocation of memory to guarantee a minimum amount over that which is pre-allocated and also allows for a more balanced system performance versus the Fixed only allocation method.

[915 Series] 915G-Combo with OCZ-DDR2-533/4200 no post - help!

I was hoping one of you wonderful experts on this board might be able to help. I just bought a pair of OCZ DDR2-RAM and am having trouble getting the system to recognize it. Here are the specs:
RAM specs:
- 533MHz DDR2, unbuffered CL 3-3-3-8
- 1GB (2X512) dual channel optimized gold kit
- 1.8V 240pin DIMM
- 2.2V EVP - OCZ's unique Extended Voltage Protection feature allows PC2-4200 modules to handle voltages up to 2.2V ±5%
- OCZ part number:-OCZ25331024ELDCGE-K
System specs:
* CPU model and rated speed:-Intel Socket775 2.8GHzE
* Not Overclocked
* Motherboard and revision:-MSI 915G-combo
* Motherboard Bios rev:-1.7 (latest)
* Video card:-ATI X800XL
* Power supply:-450W
* Operating System:-XP Pro SP2
My current Crucial DDR-400 PC3200 CT6464Z40B 2x512MB RAM runs without problems installed. When I switched out the Crucial RAM and installed the OCZ DDR2-533 PC4200 RAM in the appropriate DDR2 slots (1 and 3), no go. The system won't even post and I can't get into the BIOS. I tried using even just one of the 512MB sticks, alternated sticks, and even tried just one stick in DDR2 in slot3 instead of slot1 - no go. My boot drives don't get accessed either as I had even placed a Memtest bootdisk in the floppy hoping it might be able to access that.
I've been working over the last 24hrs with the very helpful OCZ folks but we havn't been able to get anywhere. I realize that OCZ isn't technically on the 'tested and verified' DDR2-list for the 915G-combo board, but OCZ is a good name brand (up there with Crucial) and I went for the higher-end Gold-series (CAS3) so I figured it wouldn't be a problem.
I've tried clearing the CMOS (no effect except to wipe out my bios settings). I have a D-Bracket2 installed and it hangs when the upper right light is green with the rest red (according to the D-bracket guide, that means 'Memory Detection Test - will hang if the memory module is damaged or not installed properly'. I can't imagine the RAM is bad - I have 2 matching ones to test (neither seem to work when installed by itself), and just got it brand new from Monarchcomputers yesterday evening in their retail box unopened.
Per OCZ's advice, I was unable to manually set a CAS of 4 with my Crucial DDR installed (I could only manually set it to a max of 3), so I also test-tried a manual set of the BIOS memory timing to 3-4-4-10 while the Crucial DDR RAM was installed and then retried the system with only the new DDR2 installed in their appropriate slots (Crucial DDR of course removed). Still no luck - the system won't get to bios and hangs at the Memory Test per D-Bracket2. It won't even get to a point where it tries to access/boot from floppy so that I can't run MemoryTest from disk.
Would anyone else out there recommend trying something else, short of going out and shelling out $140 for an ABit AA8-925X mboard that OCZ actually lists as compatible with their RAM? My MSI 915G-Combo board has been flawless for me up to now and I'd hate to part with it just because it won't work with good OCZ DDR2 ram. One thing I havn't tried is attempting to use an older BIOS version - I had flashed to the latest v1.7 bios prior to installing the DDR2 ram, so I've never actually tried any of the older versions. Does anyone think this would be worth a shot?
Cheers

Thanks... I tried that.... still no go...
I just got an email from OCZ techsupport (they had requested that I email them directly).
"we have identified a problem with the PC4200 Gold DDR2 dimms, we need to get you a pair with reprogrammed SPD info on them. So we need to swap your kit out"
They were very apologetic about it, and from what I can tell I don't think this happens a lot with OCZ ram...
So that hopefully will be the solution to my problem.. I'm processing an RMA with them right now.. will let you know how it goes.. it's a 'relief' to find out that it most likely isn't my MSI-915G board's fault after all...
Kudos to OCZ at least for getting back to me so quickly, even though it does suck to have my memory delayed again.. I'll post again when I get the replacement RAM and let you all know how it goes... at least they've identified a problem and are willing to take care of it rather than leaving me hanging...

And if I don't install the video card pci-express and I intall my old video card port pci 16 mb Banshee the pc starts up perfect and doesn't have problems. what is the real problem? 1) the video card pci-express, 2) the port pci-express of the mobo, 3)that I have a psu with connector 20-pin? Thanks

dear moderator,
i got same problem as Calvido.

Power supply = 450W/P4/12CM Fan
This is my first time with MSI, and first time to setup my new computer by my own... but, i have facing many problems...
i am having problem to install Windows XP Pro SP1, always stop half way with a blue screen that warn me about the demage of harddrive...
now i have Windows 98 SE in my new computer, but since the VGA not support for Win98, i dun want to stay with WIN98.
then, i try to move another hard drive with XP Pro SP1 into this motherboard, but, it do not auto detect the WinXP...
then i try out with the Win98 hard drive, it can detected and start with Win98.
p/s: when i enter BIOS setting, my IDE Primary Master = [Not Detected], but i can see my DVD-rom in IDE Third Master...
anybody can give me suggestion and guideline about this???

First you will need to install using the F6 key, to install the specific drivers that come with the mobo.
This shoul'nt be nesserearly with ich6, as it has support for native s-ate and p-ata.
First of all, you should never try to start youre MB with a HD from another system, unless it's identical as yours. If you do that, you must do a repair of XP(press 'E' after you have answered yes to the licence agreement) er format the disc and do a clean install.
Also, how big is youre disk?
Try updating the bios.
I agree with ArcAiN6, check youre cables and jumpers. If that does'nt help, here is link to MaxtorFAQ that might help.
Good luck

[915G] New MSI 915G-ComboFR - affected by recall?

A question someone out there hopefully can answer? - I JUST purchased an MSI 915G Combo-FR motherboard this week from Zipzoomflly.com . Today on searching the internet I find out that there was a recall of the MSI 915G boards back in early July / end of June. Does anyone know if there's any way for me to find out if my board is affected? Is anyone aware of which serial numbers are affected?

Can 915G Combo support DDR2-800 ?

Hey ~~every1
My Motherboard is 915G Combo MS-7058 BIOS ver 1.6 which support both DDR1 & DDR2. Now i just consider to upgrade DDR2 Module. Can My Motherboard support the latest DDR2 667 or 800 ? There is a news that Infineon will start to produce DDR2-800 in June that 512MB DDR2-800 will be price at $93.
Here is Comp Spec
MSI 915G Combo MS-7058 BIOS ver 1.6
LGA775 Intel 540 Pentium 4 3.2Ghz
Kingston 512MB DDR400(Single Channel)
40 HDD Samsung (PATA-Spinpoint)
SW-252B Samsung Writer
Prolink V.92 Modem
PowerSupply 480W (20 Pin)

The ram should run OK, just not at it's maximum speed. For you CPU the optimum speed is DDR400.
I have my doubts that DDR2 800 will be available for under $100, but I have been wrong before
Do you intend on buying two sticks or one? If only one, stick with what you have now. If two I think you need to decide if what you are purchasing will perform any better than buying for more stick of DDR 400. Performance wise I don't think so.

915G Combo + Pentium 4 650J (775/3,4GHz) - Do it work?

HI!
I am buying MSI 915G Combo mobo and also Pentium 4 prosessor.
From "MSI's cpu support site" we can read, that 915G works fine with 550J -series pentium4 prosessor, but with 650J -series prosessors are under testing.
Do anybody know, that works this mobo with newest bios also with Pentium4 660J prosessor??? Or must all users wait newer bios??? If we must, can some know how long?
If I try use mobo with 650J prosessor, can prosessor or mobo crash?? Voltages, etc?
kkuu

I'll just say "Please don't try this at home", since no results has been produced from MSI and while they have already mentioned "Under Testing" means that nothing has yet to be confirmed on whether Yes or No.
You can either wait for the results or you can start placing your bets if you want to try testing yourself, but don't hair-split if things goes bad... . The worst case will be dead mobo + CPU and the best results will be the message, "Unknown CPU Steppings" or stuffs like this.
