MSI FX950 Ultra Bootup problem

Hi All
I have a problem on bootup where the M/B alarm will sound it will not bootup and the all case and CPU fans are running except the fans on the Video card. If I turn the pc of and on a few times it will suddenly come back to life the fans on the video card will run and the M/B will bootup into windows fine.
Has anyone else experienced this kind of behaviour and or what can be causing
this?
M/B MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

Antec True 550w Power Supply
Thanks

Andy,
If it sounds like a Siren going off, it is your CPU over heating.
If it is a beeping, then check the DLED and tell us what it says the problem is.
Take Care,

  • MSI 745 Ultra RAM Problem!!!

    Hello,
    I currently have a MSI 745 Ultra Motherboard with the latest installed firmware.
    Ok here is my problem.
    I bought 2 sticks of ram from http://www.crucial.com/uk, the memory was 512MB 333Mhz.  I instantly started getting errors within windows, something like "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA", the error occurred totally at random, the computer can be running for 5 mins or 5 hours before the error occurs and I can be doing anything from playing a game or browsing the internet.
    First thing I did was run memtest to see if there was a fault with the memory, It found no errors at all.
    Second thing I tried was to reinstall windows, This didnt solve the error ethier.
    Third thing I tried was to only use one memory module, This is the odd thing, Both memory modules work fine on there own with no errors at all.
    Can you please help?

    Are all DRAM timings set to default or auto detect in BIOS?
    They are all set to the motherboards default

    Have you tried moving the second module into the third DIMM socket?
    Yes I have tried all three ram sockets, they all work fine when 1 ram stick is in and I have tried every combination of 2 ram sticks.

  • MSI 745 Ultra Boot Problem 2

    This board does not boot up correctly  .
    Here is what happens:
    The boot process starts correctly. First the fans spin up, the bios beeps once, but then a couple of seconds later the pc speaker starts beeping indefinitely and the computer hangs at the MSI splash screen (where it says press del to enter setup- however no keyboard input works).
    THe D-Bracket diagnostic LED shows 1 red, 2 green, 3 red, 4 green, which translates to "testing base and extended memory." However, the memory passes the "memory detection test" and appears to be a good stick...unless it is somehow incompatible with this board.

    is the board faulty, I have tried everything mentioned on this forum!

    Do you have CPU fan that changes it's speed when cpu temp grows higher? My mobo did that b4 i disabled "check cpu fan" from bios. If  you have you could try to keep your computer in that beep state untill cpu fan starts rotating fast enough. Then u boot and go to bios and disable "check cpu fan" and then that should work.. But only if you have same problem as i had..

  • Linux and MSI KT4 Ultra : DVD problems

    Hi, I own an MSI KT4 Ultra Pure mobo.  The vt8235 Southbridge is supported in the lastest version of the Linux Kernel, 2.4.20 . After upgrading the kernel all seems to work fine, but when the system try to initialize my hdc (Secondary master of IDE, a DVD reader DV-5800A from NEC) it locks up with the message :
    hdc: device {Busy}
    hdc: drive not ready for command
    ide1: reset success!!
    and start looping with this message.
    What can I do to get work my DVD Reader? With my precedent MoBo it works perfectly
    Thanks
    Bye

    Hmmm that error used to happen with an older kernel and an ALI chipset. If you leave it long enough does it give up trying and continue to boot? The ALI did this eventualy.

  • Msi z77 g45 bootup problems

    hi, i was trying to install 4x4gb of the same ram, they were all working perfectly on another system, if 4 are in, my pc does a continous amount of turning on and turning off, however if i take two out, windows boots perfectly fine again......what's wrong with this motherboard?

    Quote from: scuzzyboi on 26-March-13, 09:21:38
    yup, guess those dimm slots are both shot, i tried switching to dual channel mode, wouldn't work, good times, now i understand why some of my builder friends don't use msi boards....
    As previously stated, this is usually the result of bent cpu pins due to improper cpu installation. It is possible as with all electronics that there is a manufacturing defect, but that is by far and away the leading cause.
    Blaming it on MSI then bashing is not only not allowed, but very irritating.
    The good news, is that even though bent cpu pins void the warranty, MSI usually has a sense of humor about this and repairs the board anyway.
    If you need any further help, please contact MSI and tell them why them how terrible they are for you breaking your board.

  • MSI NX6800 Ultra - Power Problems

    I have a power-problem with this little baby
    When I start windows it says that it doesnt get enough power, so the performance have been "decreased" (cant remember exact words)
    My PSU delivers 18a over 12v
    http://www20.tomshardware.com/howto/20040122/power_supplies-15.html
    (detailed picture of PSU and what power it delivers)
    I've tryed without USB, only 1HD etc. to make sure the system used as little power as possible, but still get the "not enough power" message in windows
    When I look at the GFX card and the power-cords, there IS a brown cord sticking out of it !?
    There is 2 brown cords comming from each of the plugs I connect to my PSU, and it then merge into a little plug that actually fit into the bigger plug that goes into the GFX card. But as if its been taken out ? I have a slight feeling this could be the problem ?
    But the question is, there is two empty holes in the plug I put into the GFX card where the brow-cord-plug fits. Anyone out there who have the same GFX and know if this brown plug is supposed to be in the GFXpower-plug ? and If so is it supposed to be in the lower or upper hole ?

    First thing we need to know is more information on what your system is. We can't do any diagnosis on a system without knowing what it is. I have a hard time believing with any system that 18amps on the 12v rail would be enough to power that video card with the rest of the system. Once we get all (I mean everything, add your on signature like mine that includes all hard ware on the system, for more info check out the moan guide it has the information you need to properly list your system.
    As far as the brown cord, I don't know. Hopefully someone else with the knowledge can post in here.
    Please follow the above so we can better help you.
    Thanks

  • Msi 6800 ultra clock problems

    just got this card .  and should it not run at 425 core default and 1.1 on rams ..
    my card only runs 400 on default settings !? ..

    Do not hit the Default button as that is the settings for the min requirements. I have had the same problem with my FX5900 card before and found this out.

  • Msi kt3 ultra, msi gf4 4200 tvout problem

    I have a msi gf4 4200 64mb card and i have a msi kt3 ultra aru and windows xp,
    my problem is tv out is garbled in pal , ntsc is grey (iam in europe), the colours seem inverted blues are red, etc and theres a ghosting effect around moving images like in videos or around the cursor
    Ive tried everything from default mem setting , to high performance , tried diferent driver sets , tried windows 2000, tried via chipset drivers, latest msi, nvidia gf drivers, pal b , g , i , 60hz, diferent resolutions, clone view, single output to tv, stretch view , nothing seems to fix it, the only thing that comes close to fixing it is using the tvtool http://tvtool.info/ with color fix correction activated, but the images isnt stable its got a weird strecthing, shimmering effect on the bottom half of the tv image
    Iam sure that the problem is not tv or cable related because i tried a friends p4 (board msi sis 645dx) with the exact same model gf4 4200 (not my one) with my scart cable and tv set up and it worked fine.
    Could it be a voltage problem? ive even tried upping agp and core voltage a bit to see if helps, and nothing

    mhuizing,
    nope havent tried a diferent tv , but it should work ,  i tested the connection with a friends computer
    exact same gfx card model and it worked fine!  
    My old system leadtek gf3 ti200 , epox 8kha+ worked fine with this connection.
    Iam using a scart cable to a video , then from the vid to the tv via antena cable
    i upgraded and voila, i got some headaches for free  :P !!!

  • MSI KT3 ultra aru Western Digital 200GB raid problem

    Hi!
    This is what I've got.
    KT3 Ultra-ARU (MS-6380E)
    AMD 2000+
    256 MB 333mhz RAM (AMD Compatible)
    Seagate ST330630A 30GB (an old drive)
    Maxtor 6L080J4 80GB

    IDE2: WD1800BG (Cabel Select)
    IDE3(Raid1): Maxtor 6LO80J4 (Master) and Maxtor 6Y080L0 (Slave) raided as an single drive

    IDE5(IDE-controller1):
    IDE6(IDE-controller2): NEC ND-1300 (Master) and Lite-on LTR-40125W (Slave)
    And the Software:
    I've updated all the software drivers so I've got the newest and I'm currently runnign Win2k SP3 with almost every patch installed on it.
    And finally the problem:
    When I've hook my WD2000JB to the on-board raid everything seems to be working normaly. The bios finds the drive and makes a new array. Win2k boots up and finds the drive and I can create an partition. But when I've try to format it it the computer starts to freeze for a while and then acts like normal again. The HDD-led blinks as it should during the "normal" time, but when the comp. freezes it stops blinking. The formatation stops at 7% and the HDD-led stops lighting. I don't get an error eventhough it was several hours since it stoped. And the formatation takes like 30min for 1%.
    When I connect the WD2000JB to the IDE3 I can format it and it acts just like normal. I even did a full system test with the System tool found on Western Digitals support site and it didn't find any errors. But when move it to the raid-IDE the errors return. I've get Error reading / writing to disk and when I've did a chkdsk I've got the "Coudn't use Device) so I did a scandisk and it found very very many errors so it completly ereased everything that was on it.
    And when I've run Western Digitals program again i've get an error (Disk error read/writing) error code: 0113.
    Can it be that the Western Disk doesn't work well with Raid? I've haven't heard anything about that, so...

    I've had similar problems where my system becomes very unstable at higher bus speeds. Installing Windows XP simply didn't work very good. However, I have ordered a new PSU today as a solution to this problem. Basically, CPUs and video cards are much more demanding and the more devices you have in your computer the more power you're going to need. I recommend purchasing the Enermax EG465P-VE (FCA) 450W ATX PS. It has a higher amperage rating and will most likely solve your problem.
    Check your PSU and your bus speed settings...

  • MSI KT3 Ultra ARU Mem timing problems?

    As experienced by myself as well as Maximum PC Magazine during testing. Using high quality memory such as Samsung PC2700 DDR on the MSI KT3 Ultra ARU, if you set the cas latency timings to the most agressive settings, next time you try to boot into Windows, your OS crashes and the registry gets corrupted. Also the board actually interprets CAS 2.5 memory as CAS 2. I am sure a BIOS update will fix this problem, however who else has had this problems?

  • MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU power supply problem

    Hello !
    I am a lucky owner of MSI KT3 Ultra-ARU motherboard but have one problem. My power supply Fortron (FSP Group) 300-GT 300W seems to have some kind of incompatibility with this motherboard. In my case, the computer can't be shutted down by software. With BIOS version 2.5 it was impossible to shut it down with button too. With 2.6 it is possible to turn the computer off by button but software shutdown still don't work. PSU is working on ALL other boards I have tested so far normally. Somewhere in discussions (not in this forums) I discovered that also some kind of weird sounds occurs with Fortron supply on this board and that it is incompatible. Have anyone some clues to solve this PSU problem ? I am not able momentally to buy some other kind of PSU because Fortron is the only brand from higher category to obtain, so I would be like to solve this.....
    Thanks for any info !

    768Mb RAM
    Why is windows only says 2.09Ghz??
    AND, I think my system is very slow. I used to have AMD 1200Mhz. And this sytem is almost like my last computer.

  • Dual monitor problem with MSI 5950 Ultra

    OK, I finally got the money to have a dual monitor setup.
    I am using a MSI 5950 Ultra card
    Soyo 600T Dragon Ultra MB
    1 gb Corsair XMS 3500 ram
    AMD 3000+ processor
    Adaptec 2410SA SATA Raid card
    4 Western Digital 74gb Raptors in RAID 0
    2 V201S 20.1 inch Viewsonic LCD monitors.
    XP Pro OS
    I have updated all BIOS/DRIVERS on all hardware.
    The problem is when I connect both monitors I get a system freeze. It is random and does not have to be event (ie mouse movement) generated. There are no event log entries. If I disconnect the analogue monitor the freezing goes away. Is this a known bug? If so when can I expect a driver/bios fix on the card? If not can anyone suggest a fix.
    I have removed all non-essential cards.
    THanks
    Steve

    Have you installed the driver of the monitor?
