MSI 945GCM5 F V2 NO POWER

A well running Computer System from last 2 years suddenly collapsed today. After investigation found that there is no Power for Main Board. MSI 945GCM5 F V2 motherboard with 2 gb RAM is running well till morning but all of sudden IF I POWER ON - ONLY HDD LED IS ON (NO BLINKING) IF I PRESS POWER ON OR RESET ON THERE IS NO RESPONSE CPU FAN STAND STILL NO MOVEMENT. TRIED 3-4 DIFFERENT WORKING SMPS.
BIOS DISCHARGED BY REMOVING BATTERY CELL AND JUMPER
BUT SITUATION IS NOT IMPROVED. CAN ANYBODY HELP ME.

No power - maybe the power supply's not doing what it's supposed to do.

  • Some help needed to specify my Mainboard (MSI 945GCM5 V2)

    Hi,
    I think I'm posting on the right forum.
    So I want to update my mainboard's BIOS.
    I've managed to find the board's physical manual and the model as noted on the cover and on the board itself is:
    MSI 945GCM5 V2
    So I looked it up on the MSI site and the only thing I could find is this:
    MSI 945GCM5-F-V2
    (I would post the link but the forum rules won't let me, so you can look it up on google)
    Visually the board itself in the photo, does look like my board but the only difference is the F in the model name:
    Mine is this: MSI 945GCM5 V2
    The one I found is: MSI 945GCM5-F-V2
    Is this the same board or is there a difference?
    Thank you in advance

  • Overclock e2160 with msi 945GCM5-F-1333

    Sorry for my english. I'll buy a mainboard for a friend, I choise MSI 945GCM5-F-1333 http://www.msicomputer.co.uk/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1285&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170 with intel penitum dual core e2180 and ram ddr2 at 800mhz.
    With this mainboard can I overclock this cpu? I don't want a overclock exaggerated.....I want only change bus at 266 mh. Is it possible? Could I have problems with ram? V-core isn't problem with bus at 266 mhz.

    Quote from: kourosh on 05-April-08, 20:19:38
    the problem with your thread is we do not know what memory you intend to use, and why are you  talking about 266 MHz while you can have 800 MHz memory ?? usually you can increase cpu speed by up to 30% and naturally FSB will go up accordingly. so tell us more
    Sorry, for me it is complicated to speak English   I have got already ram ddr2 at 800 mhz. I'm talking about 266 mhz because my CPU works well without change v-core (since 280 mhz) and this mainboard doesn't allow to change v-core

  • MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC memory clock?

    I have had an MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC for about 6 months now and have used MSI Afterburner to monitor temps etc. Today I used it to lower my overclocking as others had said Ghost Recon Future Soldier doesn't crash if you take it off.
    If you look at the MSI product page for the card (the forum won't let me post a link to it!?) you can see the Memory Clock Speed(MHz) says 4000 yet in Afterburner mine said 2000Mhz and the slider was in the middle. I am pretty sure there is no multiplier at work here so mine wasn't being overclocked?
    Any ideas? I have reduced it down to 1800Mhz and GRFS doesn't crash anymore but can I take it up to 4000Mhz safely in future? I do not want to overload the card.

    you have multiply the memory value x2 to get the effective speed

  • MSI 945GCM5-F V2 FSB 1333 / hardware interrupts

    I struggle bigtime with hardware interrupts on this MB.
    On the MB i got a Samsung spinpoint 320GB sata2 disk, a standard dualcore intel and 2GB corsair RAM
    Latest BIOS.
    Tried to update drivers for everything, the disk is running with DMA (UDMA5)
    I ran out of ideas, so I'm hoping someone have a few?
    When it happens always core#0 uses 90-100% cpu and it lags/freezes the computer in a different way than if I use almost 100% load on a task.
    I'm suspecting the MB, since it don't have much connected to it.....

    On the PCI-slot I think it says 200, but it's hard to see.
    I asked for the ERP number, because there are quite a few boards with the model number MS-7267.  The ERP number is one possible way to keep them appart.  If the ERP number of you board is in fact 200 you have the right BIOS (If it was 170, BIOS v17.7 [=vH.7] would be the wrong one):

    Just 15A on the +12v rail? Try with a better PSU.
    Considering the fact, that he uses the onboard graphics chip with just an E2200, one HDD and one ODD connected to the board, 15A @12V may be just enough to power this configuration.  Of course, the question is always if a given PSU really holds what it promises on the PSU sticker.  Even for a 400W device, 15A is not a whole lot (a 450W Corsair PSU for example has a 33A-Limit).  The PSU is not my first suspicion in your case, but I agree to AaronJuri, that NorthQ Device looks weak enough to consider testing a better one just to rule out the possibility that your problem is in any way PSU related.
    asdfsdf, a couple of more question and suggestions:
    Questions:
    -What OS are you using? 
    -Is that fresh installation of the OS or is it taken from another system?
    -Did you update the BIOS yourself at any point, and if you did, how did you do it and did you clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU after the flash? 
    -Are (IO)APIC and ACPI enabled in BIOS?
    Suggestions:
    1. Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU and load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS after restarting your system.
    --> Test if the problem still occurs. If it does, do this:
    2. Unplug your SATA Optical Drive from both PSU & board, remove all USB Devices and Disable the following peripherals in BIOS:
    - USB Controller & USB Legacy Support (Use PS2 Keyboard & Mouse for testing
    - OnBoard LAN Controller
    - HD Audio Controller
    - LAN Option ROM
    - OnBoard IDE Controller
    - OnBoard Floppy Controller
    - COM Port & Parallel Port
    - Intel EIST
    - Spread Spectrum
    - Auto Disable DIMM/PCI Frequency
    Retest and see if there are any changes.  If the lags disappear, re-enable each Device/function in BIOS (one by one) to find out, which one causes the problem.

  • MSI P67-A GD53 Triple Power Cycle

    Hi all,
    1st of all let me introduce myself, my name is Damien and I have been a PC enthusiast ever since I built my 1st PC when I was 10 years old (15 years ago), I am a massive fan of the PC gaming scene etc and have always played games on my PC because it is so much better.
    Now I have had a few issues over the past week or two with motherboard's and cpu's etc, and to give you a idea of how lucky I usually am with PCs this last week or two has been the worst time I have had with motherboard's and cpu's ever in my whole time of building PCs.
    1st it was a motherboard that went bang, so was replaced then that replacement motherboard would not accept voltage changes and was trying to put 1.8v through my ram which was 1.5v max, then I replaced that board with another that blew up, so I then bought a new board and chip which turned out to be faulty again.
    Now you may think I am going on but this will make sense in a minute, so I got fed up with buying faulty stuff so I went to a very good PC part's retailer in the UK called Scan Computer's, I have used them for quite a while now and spent a fortune in there.
    Scan do pre overclocked bundle's where they overclock the CPU for you and test everything, so because of the trouble I have had I bought one which comes with a MSI P67-A GD53 motherboard but I have noticed some times when it boot's it will power up and then down and then up and down, again and then it will power up and boot in to window's.
    My question is should it do this or not as I really don't want another faulty board.
    Any help will greatly be received as I am now at wit's end with this PC.

    My question is should it do this or not as I really don't want another faulty board.
    It shouldn't do this, but having said that, it is not uncommon on the Sandy Bridge platform, experienced infrequently on boards from different manufacturers.
    I would be reluctant to advise you to meddle with a complete build from Scan without discussing it with them first.
    We can probably give you advice on a couple of things you can try, but I don't know what your warranty conditions are if you mess with the BIOS.
    Maybe you want to save your current BIOS settings as a profile first, so that you can load it again.
    Then do a CMOS clear for now and see if it behaves any differently. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    Please do provide your full system specs and what the current BIOS settings are, i.e. did you opt for a shop overclocked model ?>>Posting Guide<<

  • MSi GT70 - 0NE-276us Sudden Power Off/Will not Stay On

    First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read about my problem. No sob story, however this is my only computer and it was/is my work machine in the IT Administrative/Deskside Workplace. Any ideas are welcome.
    I have an MSi GT70-0NE 276us Laptop. I bought it last year (Christmas). I was playing a game on Steam when suddenly the machine turned off. Using my troubleshooting experience, here is what I tried:
    -Removing the battery and power supply from the machine and holding power button for 1 minute
      -After testing with ONLY the battery inside the machine, pressing the power button makes a white flash and a shimmer of light sent to the keyboard, but doesnt actually turn on. It does this upon each keypress and does not skip a beat.
    - I tried to connect the power supply directly into the laptop WITHOUT the battery connected, and it does the same thing. As for the battery indicator light, it does not stay on as it normally would when the power is connected to it.
      NOTE: I have NEVER used my laptop WITHOUT the power cord connected; it is always attached since I know its a power hog.
    - I have checked for any smells of burning/melting and there are none. The laptop was also not that hot when it cut off suddenly.
    - Ive blown the mainboard/underside with compressed air and removed all of the dust
    - Ive made sure the fan was clear and connected
    - Ive reseated the RAM
    - I have NOT tried another power brick; the one I received was refurbished.
    - The LED on the power brick lights up but nothing is coming into the machine
    - I have not had the laptop 10 months and its always connected to the wall/power outlet
    So if it is the motherboard, I wouldnt be too surprised but Ive know MSi to make excellent motherboards, hence the reason I spent 2500.00 on it. A fellow IT friend said I may want to try a new power supply that has the exact specs your laptop needs. As if its possible the load on the end of the power brick that goes into my laptop may be done for.
    I removed the Battery and noticed this:
    The inside of the laptop after removing the battery say
    MS 1762
    DC Rating 19V=9.5A
    My Battery says (MSi battery)
    11.1 Vdc = 7800mAh, 87 Wh
    ..But the power brick reads
    Input 100-240 V ~2A 50-60Hz
    Output 19.5 Volts =7.7 A
    He suggested trying a new power suppy but Im concerned its the motherboard (because us IT Guys know the motherboard will get you everytime)
    So is it possible? Im not sure why they may have given me the wrong power brick, if it is wrong. He says the specs dont add up, and since each time I press the button and the white light flickers and part of the keyboard, he said it may be the power bricks' node that connects to my machine. Im used to motherboards that are done for the machine shows no sighns, no hints, no flickers. This is atleast flickering, just not coming on .
    I know its alot to read and I appreciate all of the techs/other users time.

    Thanks guys. Your input is not falling on deaf ears and it seems im getting reputable support via the forums with the MSi tech team.
    It really is so weird. Today I tried the process of elimination from a video I saw on you tube. Now, keep in mind, each time the power button is pressed with either their power brick/battery alone in the machine, the power light and the 'battery' indicator light at the front of the machine flicker (each keypress; even if you do it rapidly).
    I took the bottom tray off and checked the fan and blew it out with compressed air. Checked the thermal paste under the processor heatsink, checked the processor condition and all looks well there.
    Tested by removing one connection at a time then testing for power (all along while testing, keep in mind I only have the 19.5v 7.7 amp power brick.)
    - removed D:/ drive secondary  then checked for continuity; no luck
    - removed all 4 ram sticks and tested one at a time with the power supply connected; no continuity
    - removed the keyboard ribbon cable and tested; still no luck
    - removed (what I believe to be) the usb ribbon cable (hub with 3.0 ports) and tested for any indicator lights; still no luck
    - unplugged the cmos for 5 mins and reconnected; still no luck
    *NOTE: when I look underneath of the laptop when pressing the power button, the fan that has the gpu and the cpu heatsinks up against, it actually spins for a brief second; about as long as the power button flashes.
    I stopped at some stores looking for a 180+ watt adapter and i couldnt find one that carried it. I wanted to test it before purchasing, so Ive avoided online purchase up to this point. However, I do realize I need one anyway at this point regardless.
    My buddy has his own PC Repair shop. He doesnt have a power brick of that magnitude, but cant we get a voltmeter and check for continuity from not only the power supply, but also the jack soldered on the motherboard?
    He is saying kinda what Dark is saying... Me, I think its a short somewhere... he thinks the computer asked for too much power from the power supply and probably burnt out the tip because at the time it cut off, I was playing a graphic intensive game, and in my USB 3.0 ports on a single hub, I had the following connected:
    - A Logitech USB headset (wired)
    - an XBOX 360 wired controller
    - A Logitech G700 gaming mouse charging
    Ive never had that many power hungry devices connected to one hub at one time before.

  • MSI P7N SLI Platinum CPU Power Socket

    I have a MSI P7N SLI Platinum and I just noticed I dont have a 8pin power plug on my ATX PSU ( this PSU is in my AMD rig)
    I've just had a go of trying out my MSI P7N SLI Platinum board as a computer shop said just insert the 4 pin plug you used on your AMD board near the CPU..
    I questioned him about it leaving 4 sockets bare, he said it would be fine..
    Well I've tried booting up the rig and I get nothing on the screen (No Signal ) checked all sockets (graphics card, cpu)
    I do get a little red and blue light on the board and the CPU fan and graphics fan are running fine,, but no signal...
    I'm using a Intel Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz Processor Socket 775 which I know is fine,,,
    Any views on this "you can use a 4pin plug on the 8pin CPU power socket " ?
    Could this be the reason my rig is not booting ?
    THanks 

    "Any views on this "you can use a 4pin plug on the 8pin CPU power socket " ?"
    Yes you can. Make sure that 4pin cable is connected properly at correct side of 8pin socket.
    "Could this be the reason my rig is not booting ?"
    Nop. You can plug 8pin CPU cable if you want to test opposite Should boot with both 4 or 8.

  • Msi p45 platinum - freezes after power save turns off displays

    Just put this computer together, everything is stock, no overclocking. Seems to run fine, played a few hours of modern warfare 2 with no issues.
    I noticed It seems to freeze after the monitor gets turned off by the power save mode. I just tested this by setting it to turn off displays after 1 minute of inactivity, waited watched the monitor turn off, then I went to the move the mouse and the screen came back on but the cursor would not move. sometimes the screen will not even come back on.
    I have turned the computer on, left the room while it was booting to eat breakfast or take a shower, came back the screen was still on but the computer was frozen. Window 7 login screen was up, but there were some graphic glitches. this has happened a couple of times.
    If I manually put the computer to sleep it seems to come back properly.

  • MSI GTX580 Twin Froxr III power edition problems.

    Hello last night i kinda played around with afterburner and checking it with Kombustor, doing some testing in various benchmarks, at one point it said gpu throttling -3MHz
    The card never exceeded 63 degrees C no artifacts at all, so now when i push reset on afterburner it goes to stock settings only kombustor shows throttling -3MHz but at 803-841 on core and 2005-20025 memory it shows no such thing but sometimes oc doesn't seem to get me all that better results, well the highest i got in heaven is 1377 stock 1260 something.
    Can i have damaged the card even though it never was getting hot at all?
    I am  noob at OC but i know something about it and i know as long as i don't meddle with voltage  i can+t really burn the card and also i use 70+% fan speed on the card when oc´d/gaming
    have i really hurt the card?
    since combustor/furmark shows797/800, GPU-Z 800 core afterburner shows 800MHz core 2004 memory

    Quote from: flobelix on 03-August-12, 04:37:42
    797 to 800, yes. As far as I can see MSI says 800Mhz and not 810Mhz (http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-TWIN-FROZR-III-15D5-POWER-EDITION-OC.html)
      Yep!
    Oh yes, almost no game is currently more stressing than BF3.
    so i see now that i looked at that link it shows 800 mybe i looked at another oc´d card adn got mixed up
    i also wonder ewhen i raise the clock to say 846 adn memory to 2036 i sometimes get lower rsults on heaven for example than if i just oc it to tiny little 810mhz core and keep memory at 2004 how come it goes that way?
    i also wonder there is a bios for my card on MSI website but i do not know if it is newer than the one on the card, it said something about stability
    and thank you now i can sleep alot better knowing it is ok :D

  • Two displays for MSI R6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition/OC graphics card ?

    what monitors you are using and what resolutions you're trying to use?
    Both monitors are old models: 1) Panasonic PanaFlat PF90 2) acer AL 707.
    I'm not sure what resolution I was using on acer when I tried to connect both monitors, but now I'm using PanaFLat with 1280 x 1024. Maybe I should try to set them both on 1024 x 768 and try again.

  • MSI NF750-G55 connecting the power button? noob question i know

    just bought my computer, AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE and MSI NF750-G55 motherboard.
    bought a nice cooler master case and i just need a little help setting up the power button and LEDs.
    i understand everything in the manual that came with the motherboard completely i just need to know how to identify which cables from my case should be positive or negative?   im assuming that if a little arrow is pointing to the connector wire that it's positive?
    any help is greatly appreciated, hate to fry my board first day out of the box...   

     For power & reset switches it doesn't matter which way you plug them in as long as you plug them in at the right place. They are simple momentary contact switches and polarity doesn't matter for them. As far as the LED's go if they are plugged into the right place they either light or they will not. If they don't light then simply swap (reverse) the connection and they should work. Just go by what the manual shows for the where part of plugging them in. You are not likely to fry anything.

Maybe you are looking for
