MSI 975X Power Up Edition V2.1 Issue Beside Overclocking After Flash New Bios

Hi all,
I hope I can get a lot of help here. I'm having a few issues with this board. I cannot find any thread that discuss other issue beside overclocking after you flash a new bios. Here are my problem:
1. I installed fresh WindowsXP with SP2. Windows cannot detect new usb device eventhough WindowsXP recognized the usb controller. If I plugin any usb device, windows does not detect a new device. I try to stick a USB flash and I can see the light for a few seconds but Windows cannot detect it. Before I upgrade the bios to version 715 (beta), I used usb flash to upgraded it. Now, the bios is not even boot from usb flash.
2. Other things that concern me, the southbridge chipset is really really hot. If you touch it long enough, it will burn you.
3. I cannot figure it out the front audio from manual book (JAUD1). Is any of you know where the mic needs to go?
Thanks

I removed the Big Typhoon from the MB and I replace with stock fan. I want to make sure the back plate from Big Typhoon doesn't cause any problem. When I bootup the windows, I saw WindowsXP recognized the USB device but it disappeared again. I took the MB out from the case and test it without a case. It stills does not recognize the usb. Somebody mention bad PSU(Power Supply Unit) may cause a lot wierd problem. I changed PSU from RaidMax Vocalno 630W to Ultra X-Finity 500W. I don't have a lot of stuff that require power. Do you think the PSU cause this issue?
This is list of my comp:
MSI 975x Platinum PowerUp Edition V2.1
Conroe E6600 Retail
Seagate 300G SATAII
Maxtor 120G IDE 100
Asus 16X DVD-ROM
NEC 3550A DVD-RW

FYI: USB Controller and USB 2 Controller are enabled in BIOS.

I have the same problem with this following error trying to install the Dual Core Center 2.0.0.6 : "runtime error. Could not call proc".
How can I fix the problem ? I use Windows Vista Ultimate Edition 64.
In other words, MSI Dual Core Center does not support Windows Vista 64. You can try CoreTemp, but again since you have x64 you need to read this: http://www.alcpu.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=211

MSI 975X Power Up Edition and E6600 and DDR 800 MHZ Ram, NOT RIGHT SPEED.

I've just got my system up and running but it aint detecting the ram speed correctly or even the FSB on the CPU. I have included some pics to show you. sometimes at post it says 533, and sometimes 667. Any ideas?
I am running a E6600 and Crucial Ballistic DDR2 800 MHZ Memory.

MSI has an online Customer Service for you to send your issues or questions over. Usually it take few days to reply. This forum, is maintained by user, just like you and me. Happy users stay to help the unhappy users, and sharing experiences and valuable information. However, most if not all users don't make BIOS changes, modifying BIOS etc This is still mainly MSI's job.
The moderators have MSI contact where we can get faster response and more direct support. We do channel issues over here which we think is a true MSI issue. But 90% of the issue here are mainly user-setup problem. So we need to filter them out.
So, is this issue a MSI issue or a user-setup problem?
I just hope it will be fixed asap
I always loved msi motherboards because i never had problems. I don't like asus and the only motherboard available when i got my E6600 was the Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe but the motherboard was bad (i hate asus even more now) so i could return it and change it for a msi motherboard The 975x powerd up edition And now (for the first time with msi) i have problems again. I just want my system to run like it should run

Msi 975x power up edition + qx6700 Compatible ???

Hi Everyone.
Im a newbie to these forums. Can you please advise ?
Ive just ordered my new build, news items on the net say the 925x power up edition is compatible with the qx6700 quad core but there is nothing on msi's web site about this. I did email msi but as yet have not got a reply.
Cheers Paul

Dude !
Stop it!
You will freak me out with your machine
Damn sure that it will be The ultimate extreme build.
8800 is the first Nvidia chip that will support DirectX 10, and if you want to, check out the latest release from Crytek called "Crysis",just to see the real power of directX 10.
Cheers
Well, my old agp p4 3gig system was ok but was not worth putting good money into an old sytem, so for the first time at 38, building my ultimate gaming rig. Incidently Komplett.co.uk are cheapest at moment on extreme chips. 640 quid for the extreme duo and 650 for qx6700.

Beta is beta, we will never have any suport fram any company for a beta program/bios.
And everybody who have seen the Asus nforce4sli32 for Intel, knows
bad flash can hapend. Been there my self. 50% of thos boards flashed to dead.
But in that case, i talked to my delivery shop, and they agred that i had so match trubel
with it, so i had to try flashing. Went dead.. Sent it back, and got my selv a new Board.
I would say, if you don't like the no spuport/beta stuff. Wait for the oficial Release.
And the ever saying rule, If it is'n broken don't try fixing it (something like that).
So if it is ok, don't flash with Beta bios. And if there is no good thing on the
fixed list for the oficial don't flash that eather.
Just my 2 cent on this topic...
I agree with you MrNielsen, dont flash if you dont need to!
But I'm suffering from various problems (everyone has some issue with this mobo) and whilst I accept that it is not supported and may even stop my mobo from booting, I dont care cos I can always get a new BIOS chip. and I dont care about support from MSI for a BETA unless of course it applies to the official BIOS release as well.
What I do want (and I think everyone except Maesus agrees with me on) is a change log of the BETA BIOSes... but alas it doesn't look like it's gonna happen!

Msi 975x Power up edition Overclocking issue

I have a E6300 with Ocz Platium XTC pc6400 ddr2-800 memory, and i tryed to overclock the cpu. I tried different voltage on the cpu i can reach 333fsb and i can enter windows and its stable inthere, but when i restart my computer it shutdown and i need to clear bios. My memory is putted at 1:1 ratio. Ive tryed my memory to 400mhz and it worked fine. Maybe im doing something wrong , desactiveted Spread Spectrum and smart fan, but the heat is at 44c idle at 333fsb, not the heat, memory problem. Is that board just cant reach more then 333fsb ?

Quote from: Vaniireq on 28-January-07, 08:29:43
To start overclocking with your cpu, I would probably start with this:
Set your cpu frequency to 333 (FSB)
Set your Cpu voltage to 1.370V
Mem clock to 1:1
Bump your mem voltage to 2.1
memory set it to something like 5-5-5-15
If you can safely boot into windows and restart with no problems at 333 FSB..
Raise your FSB up to 340 and try that...
If you are having restart problems at 340 FSB, borrow a stick of different DDR2 from a friend and see if you can reboot with it, this way you can see if its your memory that is causing the reboot problem..
The problem im having is different, i can boot into windows at 400fsb, but when im restarting my computer it restart but when it reboot it go to black screen, mean something wrong there, i need to reset bios. Right now i am at 300fsb and memory at 376mhz with 5-5-5-13 timing, all is stable. But i cant put the fsb at 376 with ratio 1:1 memory. I doubt its my memory because im running them at 376mhz right now stable.

MSI 975x Power Up Edition + OCZ Problem

Hello all,
Don't know if this is a common problem because I found some informaton about it yet I found no solution...
I got 2x2GB OCZ Reaper X memory:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-105-OC
And
I have the following motherboard marketed as supporting 800mhz 2gb sticks and up to 8gb:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=267
The problem is I was working with 512mb*2 corsair memory and decided to give a bit of an upgrade so i got that memory. And the motherboard won't post, it stays on for a few seconds and just turns off and on again.
I can't figure out the solution I tried putting voltage as high as 2.4 and manually inserting latency.
I really don't know what to do and I would really like to make them work.
please help!

Quote from: ivybat on 01-August-08, 04:37:23
I don't know how much digging you've done, but when the 975x Plat PUE boards just came out, it was a huge deal how notoriously incompatible OCZ was with MSI just on that board. I had some OCZ Platinum XTC sticks (rev1 RMAd to rev 2), and nothing worked with them.
Which explains why your Corsair RAM was working fine..
Yes, with my first set of OCZ 800 Gold, my 975x don't even post, and with the second 667 set I had a FSB wall of 320 mhz. Try Corsair or G.Skill memory, this memory works very well with the 975x.

MSI 975X Power Up Edition - BIOS settings

Hello
Please can someone help me in setting up BIOS for 2xSATA & 2xIDE disks or point me to some links.
I have this board working on/off for over a year with just one SATA disk but I have reached a stage where I would like to use all four disks.
Also, what is JMicron, what is it for and how do I need to use it or configure it.
Many thanks

Hello,
the board has two different controllers:
1) Primary Intel ICH7DH Controller -> 4 x SATA + 1 x PATA
2) Secondary JMicron Controller -> one additional SATA-port (different color) + one additonal IDE-Port (different color)
Now, there is no special procedure you have to follow to install additional hard drives or optical drives. As in some case you may have to install additional drivers, when you use one of the ports hosted by the JMicron Controller, you will probably want to prefer to use the ports hosted by the Intel ICH7DH Controller.
Refer to your mainboard user manual to know which ports belong to which controller.
Note: If you are planning to attach two IDE drives to one IDE cable that is connected to one of the IDE port, make sure that you have jumpered each drive attached to that cable properly as MASTER & SLAVE.
There are no special BIOS settings to be made if you use the ICH7DH Controller ports. If you want to use the JMicron ports, make sure the JMicron controller is enabled in BIOS.

MS 7246 - 975X Power Up Edition (Problems)

Hi! I am from Argentina and 7 months ago I been purchase a MS 7246 board. Since that time, I never could run my memories a 800MHZ and I never could make that my motherboard detect correctly my memories speed. I been really disappointed with msi and this motherboard, and sincerely I lost confidence in the support and manufacturing process; nevertheless, I will try posting my problem in this thread hoping that somebody could help me.
Details about my hardware
-   MSI 975x power up edition (BIOS 7.6)
-   Intel core 2 6300
-   2GB RAM DDR2 800MHZ Dual channel (OCZ2P8001G) 4-5-4-15
-   Sapphire x850XT PCI-E
My mother detects my memories as 667Mhz. System do not boot If I set manually my memories at 800Mhz using this configurations:
-   CPU Clock X7
-   FSB/Speed (266*7 = 1862Mhz @ Default speed)
-   FSB & Memory ratio = 1.5 (Using “auto” here system detect memories speed @ 667Mhz)
-   Memories speed (266*1.5*2=798 Mhz)
-   Memories voltage 2.1v/2.2v
-   CPU Voltage 1.25v/1.3v
-   Other parameters are as default.
Things that I been tried
-   I been tried setting by SPD or manually memories latencies at 4-5-4-15 but mother does not boot or simply hang.
-   I been tried unsuccessfully increasing voltage to CPU or memories.
-   I been tried unsuccessfully updating my bios but again nothing.
I been read in internet that a loot! of people have similar problems. Some people fix those problems updating bios, but other people could not found a solution. Somebody could help me?
Thank you very much!
Eduardo

I had a look at your screenshots. The first thing I noticed is that you RAM modules have really strange SPD values:
Your stick's SPD values do not seem to comply with the JEDEC standard. Maybe this is an additional explanation to your problems causing BIOS and/or memory controller to be a little confused.
The second thing I noticed is the fact that the automatic frequency/multiplier and Core voltage adjustions done by the C1E feature is now working properly:
As you can see on the pictures I took from your screenshots, VCore and multiplier are now changing. That means, that the feature is working properly. If you close all background applications and running programs and leave only CPU-Z running, Core Voltage should drop to a certain minimum level and stay there with the multiplier set to x6.
The fact that C1E is working now, could explain the small drop in temperatures to about 48°-50°C @CPU cores.

Comments:
- Maybe cpu sensor is broken or bad? (I touch cpu cooler and is not so hot)
I really doubt that.
Quote
- The northbridge 975x definitely is hot. (But i suppose that your should have same situation here)
Yes, it has a tendency to get rather hot, especially if the system is overclocked.
Quote
- If I do not use my computer from 5 or 10 minutes temperatures decrease at 50ºc (core 0) and 48ºc (core 1), but not much more.
This is the kind of drop I expected with C1E working properly again.
Quote
¿Do you see something strange in my temperatures
Your temperaturer are elevated and a little higher than average, but not really dangerous after all. You should not worry yourself too much. The shutdown temperature of your CPU is around 85°C. So you still have some headroom.
However, if you find the time (and the money ) you should at least consider optimizing your cooling solution, either by re-installing the heatsink and applying new and better thermal paste and by tweaking the airflow that goes through your case, or even better by installing a more efficient heatsink to your CPU.
Quote
¿Do you see something strange in my temperatures and memories?
The issues you are experiencing with your memory are definately strange. As I said before, I believe the reason is a rather simple incompatibility issue. If this is caused by non-JEDEC SPD values or because your modules are of an older revision that use Elpida or Powerchip chips I don't know, but I am glad you were able to find a workaround.
/UPDATE
I googled around a little bit to find more information on general issures with the particular kind of OCZ modules you are using (OCZ2P8001G). What I found was the following thread in the OCZ forum:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=112411
If you find the time read a little bit around in it. The fact that this thread exists asking for user reports on success/problem stories with this memory, if a clear indication that it is not an issue that has to do with your particular mainboard alone. In case you find 10 spare minutes to read around in it, pay attention to what is said about the revision and the chips used on the sticks. Here are a few quotes from the thread. There are of course other voices as well, pointing to the chipset or the board in use. But there seem to be quite a few different boards by all brands involved. However, I dare to say that overall picture doesn't look to well for the modules:
Quote
Yea but if you RMA them you just get the same model back. I don't think it would solve anything (Unless they are giving out Rev2s?)
Quote
Well i've had nothing but problems with the 2 sets i've had. No one at OCZ informed me that i needed the rev2's to work how i want.
Quote
I'm pretty sure that OCZ gets the same Elpida chips from Samsung that other DIMM makers get. The only things specific to OCZ would be the PCB, SPD programming and speed binning.
Quote
That is what prompted Tony to suggest an RMA. That is how I know it is the ram having problems not the board.
Quote
If the ram won't do specified speeds, no matter what divider used, then off course something is wrong, but getting 4 sticks that stops at the exact same speeds is close to impossible. Send either myself or Ryder an email and we will sort you out. I will make sure you get an advanced shipment sent out today if you want.
Quote
All I really know about Rev. 1 ELP is that an OCZ rep told me it used the same Elpida chips as Gold but was higher binned. Rev. 2 uses different chips.
Quote
I don't know but IIRC, I read someone here post that they are using Micron D9xxx. Given the higher cost of rev. 2, that seems plausible enough.
Quote
If you are using Rev1, you are the first I've heard without problems.
Quote
I think the problem is rather isolated to only a group of people with bad sticks.

975X Power Up Edition & Core 2 Duo E6600

Greetings,
I just got a new Intel Core 2 Duo for my MSI 975X Power Up edition =-) The reason I'm posting is i'm trying to Overclock my CPU. When i go into my bios and enter The Cell Menu, I go to the FSB Speed and up it to what I want. When I go to select save and Exit, the computer completely shuts off, like the power is cut from it. Then after about 3 seconds it starts up, and runs fine. The settings are saved and everything appears to runs stable.
My concern is, is it normal behavior for the computer to completely shut off when i save and exit the bios after changing the fsb speed on the CPU? To me it seems odd and I'm concerned if there is something wrong =-/ Any suggestions or experiences would be appreciated.

It all depends on the motherboard. When a motherboard cold boots it does more self-checks. How-Stuf-Works It so happens that the 975x forces a cold-boot when certain settigns are changed.

A few questions about Memory and Power Supply for MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edit

Bought this Motherboard: MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edition
975X Platinum V.2(7246-020)
I have a P4 CPU HT in it with 2 512mb sticks of DDR2 memory (533mhz).
I am upgrading to a Core 2 Duo 6600 CPU which has a 1066mhz FSB
What memory speed should I purchase to achieve the fastest bus speed without overclocking???
I get confused as my current memory is 533 which I guess on a Pentium 4 with HT cuts the FSB speed in 1/2 to 266mhz.
Any recommendations?
Do I need to buy Dual Channel or can I just buy 2 sticks?
Thank you
Peter

Great info again guys!
I'll stay away from OCZ (I read it's more for overclockers).
@DryHeat:
I watched your sig, great setup! I'm planning for about the same setup (MSI 975x PUE, P180, C2D, ...). But will try a Scythe Ninja for CPU cooler and use an MSI graphic card (maybe 2 cards for 4 monitors in total).
Is your setup silent or just quiet? Makes a big difference for me.
What would you change now? And what is the most noisy component?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm not an expert and by budget does not permit me from making any mistakes.
The case fans create the most noise. When they are all on "low" I an hardly hear them and have to shake the mouse to see if it's on, but on medium it sounds like a "standard" computer. Not terrible, but not quite. On high they are down-right loud.

975X Power Up Edition + 800MHZ Ram

Greetings everyone
975X power up edition mobo, just got Corsair XMS2 6400 Ram, however the ram is not running at 6400/800mhz, but instead running at 667MHZ. I've reset my bios and still no change. Any suggestions on why this is?

Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 04-August-07, 23:00:21
It would be interesting to really verify that.
Have a look at this list as well:
http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/
Ok, Let's sum it up then
First check this thread on the OCZ forum http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25766&highlight=msi+975x+platinum+powerup+edition
Viktor92 first used OCZ Gold DDR2 800, but then he couldn't post his pc. These modules have Powerchip chips.
He then used OCZ DDR2 667, but couldn't get pasted 310Mhz FSB. These modules have Micron D9DQT (BT-3) chips, these are no longer in production
He then replace the OCZ modules with G. Skill DDR2 800 Mhz modules which have for the most part Micron D9 chips or ProMOS 6-layer PCB. He could set his FSB to 333Mhz and run it stable.
Now Mushkin PC2-6400 HP2 (2x2GB) has either Micron D9HBD (B7-37E) Brainpower PCB or Micron D9GSV (B7-3) Brainpower PCB on it.
Jack, you have Micron D9GMH (B6-3) 6-layer PCB chips, Micron D9GCT (B6-37E) (some) 6-layer PCB or Elpida AG-6E-E (before 05/2006) 6-layer PCB on your G.Skill-Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ) memory and have the FSb on 346Mhz so that type of memory works ok.
*edit: Just saw Viktor92 his post, thanks man! He has G. Skill F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK and those also have have ProMOS 6-layer PCB chips on it.*
Finally I use GEIL PC26400 Ultra modules and those have either Aeneon AET93F30D or Elpida chips on it. I can't get passed the 310Mhz FSB so these are a no go for overclockers.
So if you can reach a higher FSB than 310Mhz with the above Mushkin modules or with G. Skill modules or any other modules with Micron D9 chips or ProMOS 6-layer PCB chips on it then you could conclude that those modules are the best to go with this board. Do you agree with me?
btw, I asked some techsupport guy of OCZ to test 4GB D/C Kit PN - OCZ2G8004GK and 4GB D/C Kit PN - OCZ2P8004GK memory kits for me to see if they work stable with a FSB higher than 310Mhz.
Hopefully I will get an answer from him.

Msi 975x platinum pu edition & 7950gx2

Hello everybody!
I was wondering how strong/heavy powersupply i need to get my system stable and running smootly when i use an Msi 975x platinum pu edition & Gainward 7950gx2??
Every reply will be greeted much appreciation!

Depends on what else you are putting in your system. hard drives, optical drives, sound, etc.? A good 550-650 watt PS should do pretty good. I am partial to Antec power supplies myself but there are many other good manufactures out there and also some bad ones.

Upgrading From Dual Core to Quad Core on an MSI 7246 Power Up Edition

Good day folks.
I'm upgrading a dual core Pentium Extreme Edition 955 (3.46 GHz) to a quad core Intel QX6800 Extreme Edition (2.93 GHz) which my MSI-7246 Power Up Edition is supposed to support.
I'm running Windows XP with all the latest patches installed.
Are there any special procedures I need to follow to accomplish this without a hitch? I.E., I certainly do no want to have to reinstall the OS.
I've read a couple of posts which talk about deleting the processor entries which are now correctly listed in Device Manager.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Quote from: Henry on 14-November-08, 13:32:48
I forgot to add, clear CMOS wouldn't hurt before you start it up after the CPU change.
OK. Will do. Sounds like good advice.
Appreciate the tip.
EDIT: As a follow-up the upgrade went smoothly except for loading the drivers for the 2nd, 3rd & 4th cores. It took me a couple of hours but I finally discovered a work around. Basically, I had to try and manually pick a driver. With Windows XP the list presented under Intel did not contain the one I wanted. However, by picking another one and then bailing at the confirmation window it would somehow put the right one in for a given core.
Go figure ....
