MSI BIG BANG TRINERGY dual channel problem!

Hey forum, I just installed a newly bought msi big bang trinergy. Everything went according to plan except from the point where I installed the 4gb (2x2gb) ram dimms( I have the XMS3, 4gb kit by Corsair).
Let it be noted that i followed the instruction manual and installed the dimms in the proper slots. Then when the moment of truth came and powered up my pc, it wouldnt boot. It would go into an endless restart cycle without booting. Then i unplugged the dimm3 and started only using dimm1 and everything went well. I also switched the ram dimms (in case one of them was faulty) and placed it in dimm1 and again there was no problem.
My take on this situation is that there must be some hardware problem concerning DIMM3. I also run a BIOS update in hopes that something might change but no luck.
..So what is your take on this?
Thank you in advance for the advice.
P.S Since i had a P55 mobo before Big bang i read that format is not necessary so i didnt format the pc. Can that be the cause of the dual channel mal-function?

Nope.
There are a couple of explanations for the behaviour:
1) there is a problem with the modules
2) the memory slot itself or underlying circuits is/are defective
3) there is a short circuit problem somewhere inside the case which basically blocks that particular memory slot
4) the CPU (or its memory controller) is defective
5) there is some sort of pin-contact problem [bad contacts between the board's socket pins and the contact pads of the processor], caused by bent or broken pins or by too much pressure exerted by the CPU's heatsink
I would start poking at explanation 3) by testing the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration and, in case that does not change anything, go for number 5): take off the heatsink and inspect both socket pins and contact pads for any irregularities [use a magnifying glass!]
I went to a technician to check the mobo where we tried different memory modules and cpu (100% working ) on a bench table.The pins on the mobo were not bent or anything. We checked all the points you mentioned that needed to be checked but still the problem persisted so it was a memory slot problem. Thanks for all the help! Really appreciate it, the replaced mobo works perfectly

  • MSI Big Bang Trinergy Memory problem.....

    I recently purchased a Bing Bang Trinergy mobo. It's combined with an Intel i3 540 cpu and 2 Kingston KVR1333D3N9/2G ram modules. The mobo came with BIOS 1.1 version. When I've tried to update the BIOS to any version above 1.1 (1.2, 1.3, 1.4) and DUAL MEMORY CHANNEL is used, the system rans to slow, jerky sound immersed (can't play any video), the cores show above 60% load all the time, playing games is impossible (system hangs or blue screens appears), takes ages to load win7 Ultimate. I've tried everything, manual setting the timings of the ram, voltage, command rate 2N, nothing works. I've also test the system with 2xKINGSTON KHX1600C9AD3B1/2G ram modules but the same results obtained. I've checked all possible positions in dual channel mode, nothing. When only one module is used (single channel) then everything is ok. All the ram modules passed the memtest and verified for the their good working state.
    The strange thing is that when the BIOS 1.1 version is used everything runs smoothly. BIOS update was perfomed with 2 different ways : 1. MSI windows application and 2. in DOS mode. Also the sound card (if God makes it a soundcard) sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.

    The course of action seems clear. Revert & use 1.1.
    This thread may have some good advice; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=141272.0
    Recommend to open a ticket with MSI Tech Support detailing your findings. They may be able to duplicate everything & address it in an updated bios. For bios flashing, it is highly recommended to use this forum's USB Flasher. You can find it along with instructions in the Download Section of the forum. It is also always recommended to do a 'power cord removed' from PSU clearining of CMOS after a flash.

  • MSI Big Bang Trinergy Pre-Order questions?

    On this page it says
    http://event.msi.com/mb/bigbang/preorder/
    "All those who pre-order the MSI Big Bang-Trinergy motherboard between Nov 30 and Dec 15 are qualified to receive exclusive gaming bundle. Besides, MSI will protect your new purchase with 8-year Exclusive Warranty! "
    Then when I go here
    http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Special/MSI_BigBangTrinergy_120709.jsp?intpromo=MSI_BigBangTrinergy_120709_HPG
    Which is the USA pre order place it says
    Dec 7 and Dec 21st
    So which is it?
    Also when it says Register for 8 year warranty it says serial number.  How do I know my serial number if I have not received the product yet?  Also when is this thing being released?  I just want to make sure if I pre order I get the 8 year warranty.  I already have the gd80 but I really want this board for the warranty and the extra features.  Thanks guys.

     It seems to me you pre order and then you register it with the serial number after you receive the product to get the 8 year warranty.
    Products have to be registered within 30 days from original date of pre-order purchase to receive our limited 8 years warranty. (Products failed to register within 30 days will still receive standard 3 years warranty).
     A little extra research by you would have come up with this same little tidbit of information.

  • MSI big bang xpower ii memory problems

    Hello! I wasn't sure where to post this question, so If it is in a wrong subforum please forgive and transfer it to the correct one.
    Story is, I have msi big bang xpower ii motherboard, runnig 3930k, c1 cpu. I have two memory sets, both tested extensively, 1) gskill ripjaws 2133 32gb 4x8 (one matched set), 9/11/10/28 1.65v and 2) gskill ripjaws 1600 16gb 4x4gb 9/9/9/24 1.5v, also one matched set.
    I updated bios to 1.2 (i think that's the latest official one).
    Problem is, in 2133 mode, i can only post with 1 stick. With set 1) in 1600 mode I can post with 2 sticks (any slots as shown in manual). With set 2) in 1600 mode, I an post with 3 sticks (also any slots as shown in manual). That's it. Any other configuration (for example quad channel or 8 sticks) will not post, I get error 67.
    I tried manual mode as well as XMP. It seems in XMP mode i don't even get to error 67, it just keeps rebooting and rebooting, rebooting on error code 19.
    Does anyone run this 2133 set at 4x4gb ? If so could you please possibly give me your OC settings? I tweaked vccsa, pll and dram voltage, but no luck.
    Thanks in advance.

    It won't boot in quad channel even in 1333. Manual says, if you number slots A B C D | E F G H, quad channel is  A _ C _ | _ F _ H . It will not post in this configuration. Neither of my two sets (even 2133 running in 1600 or 1333). However,  A B C D | _ _ _ _ will post in 1600! I tried this out of curiosity and this is technically an invalid configuration? It's not even mentioned in the manual. It also seems to me the system will never post if I have something in slot G.
    I also must add both of my kits are tested, additionally my asus rive can run quad set in 2133 just fine.
    I set 1.5v kit at 1.5, then tried 1.520. For 1.65v kit, i tried 1.5, 1.520 and 1.65 and next one I don't remember i think 1.68. I tried vccsa (system agent) 1.15 - 1.30, also, why is PLL so high on this board? I am seeing ~ 1.77 (I did set it at 1.8 later).
    Also what are the modes 1-7? Where can I find more information about those?
    Should I RMA this board? I can probably get it replaced within a day or two.
    I also must note, I have the worst luck ever with lga 2011 boards. It took me 3 tries to get normal rive, and now this. Sigh.

  • Memory modules for Msi Big Bang trinergy

    Hey forum,
    i want to buy some memory modules for my trinergy mobo because the ones i had earlier also proved to be incompatible. I would like to ask you if there are any memory modules besides the ones recommended from the MSI site concerning my mobo. I am looking for a 2x2 gb ram kit with a heat dispenser so it can work around 1600mHz. Thank you in advance 
    P.S Is the list on the site the only one? i mean are there any updated versions of it with more high end memory modules tested?

    Ideally you would provide us with your fullsystem specs first >>Posting Guide<<
    From a memory perspective, the reason these modules have heatspreaders is mostly due to marketing and to impress the potential buyers. The secondary reason is that most manufacturers sell you overvolted and overclocked 1066 or 1333 chips on a 1600 marketed module that needs 1,65V instead of the standard 1,5V. Your memory controller is part of the CPU and natively only supports 1333 at 1,5V.
    If you really insist, then at least get yourself a 1600 kit that does this speed at 1,5V. One of the modules that seem to work well are the CMZ4GX3M2A1600C9 from Corsair. From a user perspective, the mem modules from Crucial that you see in my signature come highly recommended as they have been proven to work on the P55 platform whenever used.

  • Big Bang Trinergy - Freezes on boot & randomly

    Hi,
    Got a Big Bang Trinergy (BIOS 1.40) and been having problems since the first day I installed it.
    It freezes several times in the boot-sequence. Manual restart is needed and several attempts are made before it successfully launches and loads Windows.
    It seems to have problems synchronizing the hard drives, since a lot of times they react as they where server-drives and not locally installed on my computer. (Note that I have disabled the Win7 feature of putting the hard drives in sleep mode).
    I also have major problems with the screen not showing anything when trying to boot. When it doesn't show anything, it also do not continue the boot sequence and I am forced to do a manual reboot (cutting the power or holding down the PWR switch).
    On rare occasions when I'm actually able to load Windows 7 and start using the computer, it sometimes just freezes and stays that way. No blue-screen (most of the times), no errors or automatic reboot - nothing.
    I did get blue-screen once and got the following error-codes from Windows the next time I was able to load the OS;
    Problem signature:
      Problem Event Name:   BlueScreen
      OS Version:   6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.48
      Locale ID:   1053
    Additional information about the problem:

      OS Version:   6_1_7600
      Service Pack:   0_0

    Haven't found anything about this on the Internet though.
    Would be very thankful for any advice or/and help I can get.
    Thanks again in advance!

    I bought new chip with the newest Version of the BIOS i swap it with the CHIP Original installed  I Clear the CMOS  and press multi BIOS button then i plug in  my PSU
    NOTHING monitor is still on stand by i check with 3 Video cards all are working with my sec PC no issues
    i don't know what to do that's sec MOBO first one was faulty and after switching it on one of the chips just spark MSI swap it for new one and that one is not working to :(
    any ideas someone know what i do wrong ?
    the Chip i buy with the BIOS can be  faulty to but how i can check it i guess I cant ;/ 
    then how i can flash BIOS when i even cant get the MOBO boot ? and i will not buy older CPU to start the MOBO that will be just insane  and i don't have any one who can barrow me one for 5 min ;/

    HELLO
    Again ME I think its a warning for a lot of you
    Finely MSI contacted me  and i get my RAM nr I spend 40£ to send the motherboard to MSI in Netherland yee i was happy someone will deal with the problem I have and they will update my BIOS to make sure my CPU will be compatible with the Mobo.
    Today I receive my  MOBO back I was really happy i connect all and i get in SHock nothing the same issue no Video output Monitor stays  black just like was before the debug panel is off nothing running
    i check and the serial nr of the MOBO is different what mean its total new Mobo and probably coz i cant get it running its same old BIOS i spend 40£ probably to  swap new Motherboard for New Motherboard but not to fix the issue and the issue was simple i need version of bios 2.3 or higher to make it work with my CPU I7-4820K
    now I don't know what to do the shop where I buy the Mobo dont want to help me and when i ask for my money back they seid its after the 30 days period and i cant get refund i just wasted 284£ all in for nothing a big black garbage what taking only space in my room now  with MSI LOGO ON IT
    In MSI eyes People don't buy new rigs they just upgrade stuff
    it should be like that
    I was should have  old PC with I7-3930K and then i decide to  buy new processor that how MSI Think (Why to buy 3820k or 3930k when u can get 4820 or 4930k for allmost the same price ? )
    but my mistake was i  buy new processor and new Motherboard and cant get it run because in that NEW MOBO is 1.2 Ver of BIOS and without having old CPU u cant update :(

  • MSI Big Bang Xpower II did not post - Debug LED Code #67

        
    I need HELP...!
    I have a problem my board did not post , did not start and i have the DEBUG LED CODE # 67 displayed.
    There is my build
    MSI Big Bang Xpower II X79 LGA2011
    Intel Core i7 3820 LGA2011 Processor
    Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 CPU Cooler System LGA2011
    G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series memory (F3-12800CL-32GBZL) DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 - CL10-10-10-30 (8192MB X 4) - 32GIG located in DIMM 1-3-5-7
    Gigabyte GTX570 OC Edition video card in slot PCI-E2
    Western Digital Velociraptor 300GB 2.5" SATA 3.0Gb/s 10,000 RPM
    LG BH12LS35 Blu-Ray Writer 12X BD-R 16X
    Ultra LSP-750 Power Supply
    Cooler Master HAF X EATX Tower Case
    When I put the power on, the power supply activated fans and drives spin, all the LEDs on the motherboard light up but nothing appears on the screen.
    No video signal at all and the computer stop and restrart every 15 seconds. When these reset occurs there is no beep on the speaker , nothing at all, no flashing screen either, nothing.
    The DEBUG LED display a sequence of flashing numbers 19 - 60 - 19- 60 - 67 and stop showing still the number # 67 for about ten seconds and then he reset again.
    I carefully followed the instruction manual for the installation, I installed the memory modules in slots 1 3 5 7, i put my video card in slot PCI-E2. all the power wire are connected correctly 1 x 24 pins ATX, 2 x 8 pins ATX, 1 X 6 pins , all the wire from the front panel are correctly connected to the m-connector in JFP1 & 2.
    Did i forget something, I don’t know what the debug led code # 67 exactly mean and what i have to do to fix-it
    Someone has an idea what is wrong or have any suggestion to solve this issue.
     Thank's all for your help.

     
    I followed some advice to remove the memory modules and this is actually caused by the use of memory but you will see I still have a curious bug.
    I referred to the instructions manual to the letter for the choice of DIMM SLOT to put the memory module in single, double, triple and quad channels.
    If I install 1 memory module in the DIMM SLOT  1 to operate in single channel, everything is normal and the motherboard  POST normally and show  the SETUP SCREEN.
    If I install 2 memory modules in  DIMM SLOT  1 & 3 to run in dual channel, everything is normal and the motherboard  POST normally and show  the SETUP SCREEN.
    If I install three memory modules in DIMM SLOT 1 - 3 - 5 to run in triple channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show  the SETUP SCREEN.
    As soon as I install four DIMMs modules mémoiredans SLOT 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 to run in quad channel, the motherboard  freezes and does NOT POST and show  code 67 on the debug led and has reset itself every 20 seconds.
    I tried all my RAM modules alternately in both single channel and everything works normally.
    I did the same thing in rotation for both dual and triple channel and everything is still normal with all fourth memory modules individually.
     As soon as I put a fourth memory module it freezes and displays the code 67 or L9 dependent side as you look. 
    So my bug is my motherboard MSI Big Bang Xpower II do  not want  to work in quad channel.
    Do you have any idea where I should look for, is a setting in the BIOS  , I have flashed the bios to the latest version V1.5
    I included the screenshot of the BIOS to see if you can  notice something wrong. 
    Thank you

  • MSI Big Bang Marshal - Questions

    Hello all
    I am new here and I have been doing research on components for a new computer I am making a shopping list for. I have a few questions I have not been able to find any information online. Here goes
    1. Anything specific I should know about the motherboard other then whats in the specs? Problems, quirks, etc?
    2. Does the motherboard only support 2x Dual Video cards like 2x Nvidia GTX 590 or can I use 4x Nvidia GTX 480s?
    3. P67 motherboards with the nf200 on them support 24 pci-e lanes. if I use:
    PCI_E1 - 8x
    PCI_E3 - 8x
    PCI_E5 - 8x
    PCI_E7 - 8x
    Makes up 24
    But there are still:
    PCI_E2 - 1x
    PCI_E4 - 1x
    PCI_E6 - 1x
    PCI_E8 - 1x
    Left. Does that mean there are no lanes left and I coudnt even fill anything in the other 4 slots like PCI-E Sound, etc?
    4. If you do Dual, Tri, Quad-SLI and have a PhysX card, how many PCI-E lanes will your PhysX card consume? Is it set by the NVIDIA control panel, the number of lanes of the chipset divided by the mount of video cards or by the card itself?
    5. When people say Dual, Tri, Quad-SLI +PhysX, does it mean (Dual -1(PhysX), Tri -1(PhysX), Quad -1(PhysX) or does it mean (Dual +1, Tri +1, Quad +1)?
    6. I know Scalability of increasing arrays of video cards is pretty poor, but could I do Quad SLI +PhysX using the MSI Big Bang Marshal?
    7. Which is most advantageous, Tri SLI +PhysX, Quad SLI, Quad SLI +PhysX?
    8. Sorry, probably not related, but I wanted to do Raid with SSD's for very fast reads and writes yet have redundancy. I wanted to get some OCZ Vertex 3s and I was reading about how Raid 5 was interesting but apparently Raid 5 increases the degredation of SSD? Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions on best raid configurations?
    Thank you for all of your help

    By my count, that makes 32 lanes. If not done so, a lot of pre preparation information can be gathered at the MSI Global Website. All the basic & more detailed information can be found there. The downloadable pdf manual is usually much more comprehensive than the manual that comes with the board as well, & can probably answer a lot of your questions. I don't believe the board can do Quad GTX 480 SLI.

  • MSI Big Bang-XPower powers off then powers on to boot to OS

    Not sure if this issue has been addressed on the forum yet. I purchased a new MSI Big Bang-XPower motherboard this past week ,with Intel Core i7-990X as the cpu. I'm using SILVERSTONE SST-ST1200-G Evolution 1200W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD as the power supply and Kingston HyperX 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for memory. This is in a Lian Li X-1000 chassis.
    I built the system completely and loaded the OS (win7). I noticed during the updates, when the system would need to reboot. The system powers down, then it would power back up, then power would cut off and the system would restart and load right to the OS. I finished the updates and loaded other needed software. This problem continued during the whole time, when ever I needed to reboot. I was even able to load my games and played one. No over clocking needed.
     I started my trouble shooting process,
    flashed the bios from v1.4 to v1.6 - no changed
    changed the bios settings to boot something(can't remember) default - no change
    So I started eliminating anything connected to the motherboard. - no change
    I'm down to the motherboard, cpu, ps and one 4gb stick of memory - no change
    It did not matter if the system was cold or hot, still the same problem. The mb LED would go to A1 every time and almost start running again before it shut down on it's own. Powers back up and boots to the OS.
    I'm at a stand still, on what's causing this problem. I'm sure it's not the memory, because I have pulled this memory from a working system and no problems. Plus, if is compatible with this MSI board. So either it's a bad mb, cpu or ps.  All three of these parts are brand new and I still can return them for exchange.
    Anyone have any ideas or suggestions ?

    In BIOS Power Management, or Green Power, I forget which, disable EuP 2013, that should cure it. If it doesn't cure it, it has been a known odd behavior trait of Intel systems for years. Also, disable Spread Spectrum in the Cell Menu.
    Anytime a setting has been changed, driver update reboots etc., it is not uncommon to also experience the double boot behavior. This is normal as the settings are being applied & restarting itself again.
    I've seen this behavior before in the factory with Intel systems. The dual boot behavior usually was a component failure. Which I suspected and turned out to be my problem with this MSI MB. I tried disabling EuP 2013 and spread spectrum, which did not fix the problem for me. Contacting MSI tech support on the phone, was irritating and sub-par but I was finally able to RMA the MB through the online request . Since receiving the new MB and installation. No problems with the board and actually have clocked the chit outta of the board. Thanks for your reply and help.

  • MSI big bang xpower can't see 32GB ram

    Hi,
    I installed 2 sets of triple channel memory on my X58 MSI big bang board a while back. All 32GB was seen and it was running smooth. One day, I saw that only 24GB was seen by windows. I've ran multiple tests, all slots are reporting ram in them and everything looks fine. I was reading in the manual that 24GB is that max that this board can handle. Why, at one point, I was seeing all 32GB detected???
    MSI big bang X58 bios v1.6, i7 950, windows 7 ultimate x64

     If CPU, RAM or GPU is overcloclocked please include that info and the speeds.
    On another note, running 4.2 i7-950 is awesome

    12GB Triple Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ12GX3M3A1600C9)

    All 32GB was seen and it was running smooth. One day

    Why, at one point, I was seeing all 32GB detected???
    The CPU's memory controller supports 24GB max. and you have two 12GB kits which will give you exactly 24GB of RAM.  Those are two consistant facts that indicate that your own memory seems to be inaccurate.

    I was reading in the manual that 24GB is that max that this board can handle.
    The board probably doesn't care as the memory controller is part of the processor.  The 24GB memory limit is an Intel limitation:

    Also, with 6 modules, each module would have to have a capacity of 32GB / 6 = 5.333333333  GB, which is impossible (well, not impossible, but nobody builds such modules).
    As far as I know, there are also no 5GB or 6GB modules out there, only 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB sticks, which means the possibilities with 6 memory sticks are only a few:
    6 x 1GB = 6GB
    6 x 2GB = 12 GB
    6 x 4GB = 24 GB
    6 x 8GB = 48 GB
    So, again, your remembrance of those 32GB is pretty much an impossible one.

  • Msi Big Bang Xpower II can only run with 3 memory modules?

    Hello there! I've just got my new system up and running. But it cant boot with 4 memory modules when there is a module in slot 7? I have a 4x8gb kit from corsair (CMP32GX3M4X1600C10), and a Msi Big Bang Xpower II..
    When i start it, it just shows me the debug code "67" which is "Late Cpu Initialization" according to the "User Guide".. It stays there, for about 15 seconds, then it shuts down, and does the same, over and over..
    Atm, i'm running with 3 modules, and there's no problems at all! I've testet ALL memory blocks, in another computer, and they run just fine..
    What should i do?

    Also, what cpu, bios version , memory type etc
    Make sure the mem mods are in the proper slots for tri channel operation.

    If everything comes up clean, update to the most recent bios. Only do this if your computer is stable in bios. IE You are only having crashes in windows etc.

  • Big Bang Trinergy

    Hello,
    I have been drooling over pictures and stats of the new BIG BANG Trinergy and I want to get it, but I want to hear from some forum members their exp with said board.  I have found a few reviews but hard to say how objective they are.  So please if you know anything about the Trinergy board (good or bad) please post below.  I have never had a MSI board and if there is anything unique to MSI motherboards please inform me to those things as well.
    Thank You

    I built it and it posted on the 1st try
    the only thing that went wrong is the digital power phase indicator near the socket is not working now (it worked at first)
    the oc dashboard is really cool, I use it all the time to monitor the CPU temp
    hands down the finest motherboard I have ever had
