MSI G41m-p33 combo ram issue

Hello, i would like to know what other DDR3 rams has been reported to work. Is CMV4GX3M1A1333C9 compatible? There has been reported corsair ram provento be working but those are not available on my area.
Hopefully, you can help me.
Mb: g41m-p33 combo

I recently bought an msi g41m-p33 combo MB. My cpu is an intel Q6600 G0 running at 2.4ghz.
I tested the MB with an old ddr2 kingston 2gb stick and it worked without problems.
I want to uprgrade to ddr3.  The ram test report from msi doesn't have any ddr3 1333mhz sticks
and for 1333mhz i have to OC my MB but  i don't think is the best choice.
From DDR2-800 to DDR3-1066 is not quite an upgrade.
Because DDR3-1066 (CAS = 7) is not faster than DDR2-800 (CAS = 5).
But if you want an "upgrade" from 4GB to 8GB, that's something else.
Anyway, the "Combo" motherboards are problematic and Bernhard already gave you some good hints.
To have a chance running 8GB DDR3 on this motherboard, you need 4GB DDR3-1066 modules with 256Mx8 chips (16 chips per module).

  • MSI G41M-P33 Combo Motherboard & DDR3 Memory Issue

    Hello, so yesterday (Monday, September 30, 2013) I bought the MSI G41M-P33 Combo Motherboard and 2x4GB DDR3 1333 memory. This motherboard supports DDR2 & DDR3 memory (2 slots each; 4 total). The motherboard supports 1333 MHz and up to 8GB of memory.
    So I put the computer together, and tried to load up. I get 3 beeps (I looked it up, and this means bad memory). So I took out those two DDR3 sticks and replaced it with one 1GB DDR2 memory that was in the old motherboard. That loaded up! I tried sticking in the second 1GB DDR2 from the old motherboard, and that worked aswell! There was 2048MB of memory running on there.
    So I think that the memory I bought is bad/broken. I went back to the store and got a different set of 2x4GB DDR3 memory. I tired this memory combo excluding the DDR2 memory, and it did the same exact thing. It beeped 3 times ---> hence concluding that the motherboard doesn't want to work with DDR3. I went on MSI's website to update the BIOS. I downloaded "7592vWB.zip" (released about 2 months ago) from "msi.com/product/mb/G41M-P33-Combo.html#/?div=BIOS"  and I extracted it to a USB (using a different computer). I went back to the DDR2 stick on the problem computer so it can load and I can go back into the BIOS. Did the update, it completed successfully.
    Yet, I still get the same issue of the 3 beeps with the DDR3 memory. I do not want to return these memory sticks, since I prefer 8GB DDR3 memory, and if I replace them with another set of DDR3 memory, I'm sure it will still do the same thing.
    Helping me with this is much appreciated. Thanks for reading.

    I have exactly same issue. MB works fine with DDR2 2x2GB. I wanted to bump up the memory and bought ADATA 4GB DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 stick.
    All has been said before. Chances with current DDR3 1600 are slim to zero.

    Combo boards are picky with ram especially DDR3 which has been far from being standard at the time the board has been released.
    DIMM of 1.5 Volt  DDR3 800/1066/1333*(OC) means the board supports DDR3 800 and 1066 1.5v sticks by default and according to it's controllers specs BUT DDR3 1333 is considered overclocking (* oc) and as usual with overclocking it might work or might not work depending on the individual sample. As these sticks are current sticks and your board is quite old compatibility might not be ideal. Eventually it would work with increased voltage or relaxed timings but as your board won't work with the DDR3 sticks at all you can't change settings.
    An idea would be clearing cmos before retrying with just one stick as you changed from DDR2 to DDR3 and old settings could be a problem too (>>Clear CMOS Guide<<).

  • MSI G41M-P33 Combo mainboard

    I have a Medion PC which has an MS7502 motherboard and despite 4 memory slots, the latest BIOS, and reading in some conflicting answers from msi saying it would support 8Gb or 4GB depending on which answer you read found it  only supports 4Gb after getting the RAM. So I've ordered a MSI G41M-P33 Combo mainboard. which will support 8Gb
    I've been looking at the drivers available and have noticed that some say not for Windows 8- so what will I be missing out on, and does the AC97 sound driver incompatibility mean no sound from it?
    Realtek High Definition Audio Driver (NonWin8)
    Live Update 5 (NonWin8)
    Super Charger (NonWin8)
    The Super Charger isn't relevant to me, shame about the live update but it's not essential, but I would like a bit of sound. Are drivers built into Windows 8, is there likely to be a working update, or must I buy a card to get sound?
    And is there anything else I should know?
    Thanks!

     You can not use 4 sticks of any RAM on the Combo MB, there are 4 slots of which you can install 2 sticks DDR2 or 2 sticks DDR3. You can't use both types at the same time

  • MSI MS7592 G41M-P33 COMBO DDR3 Not Supported?

    hello...
    my system is core 2 duo 1.86GHz, 2GB DDR2 Memory (1 piece), MS7592 G41M-P33 Combo (2 slot DDR2 and 2 SLot DDR3)
    i have buy 4GB DDR3 memory. 2GB DDR2 i have pull out from mainboard and place 4GB DDR3 into slot DDR3.
    when i on it make 3 beep (not detect memory).
    then i test with my 2GB DDR2 it will boot normally.
    i have test 4GB DDR3 memory  with other computer and it is OK...
    so is it this motherboard is not support for ddr3 ram with core 2 duo?
    i have check in cpu compatibility for this mainboard and it is listed the..
    anyone can help me?

    Thank you... i have got it... it likely not support for that mainboard...
    flobelix is right.
    Something more:
    For the G41 chipset DDR3 is a workaround.
    This chipset has been designed to work with DDR2.
    On the other hand, DDR2-800 (CAS = 5) is as fast as DDR3-1333 (CAS = 9) in most of the benchmarks.
    So for your motherboard, 2 x 2GB DDR2-800 is the best match.

  • 915P Combo ram issue

    Ive gotten a reply from msn saying clear bios, load optimised defaults and check FSB - RAM ratio is 1:1 and I cant for the life of me find out where this is displayed or how too change it.  Can anyone help?

    I understand what your saying but that wasnt how they put it, I have ti set on 400 but its only running 333 whatever I put.
    Im running:
    P4 3.2
    2x512mb Geil CL2-3-3-6 Ultra-400
    550 watt psu (all voltages are fine)
    X800 XT PCI-e
    Ive tried lowering the rates too 3-3-3-8 as suggested on another thread, and the MSI support form reply said too make sure it was set too 1:1 which would make my ram 400Mhz and not 333Mhz, Ive set it too 400, the motherboard doesnt even bother trying, in windows Ive a program that recognises the ram what it is where its from but when I run a memory test it says its running PC2600.  Although there mail sounded like there was another option.
    Edit: oh and there isnt a page 3-21 in my manual it only goes upto page 3-14
    Edit 2: downloaded the manual from MSI site and theres has a 3-21 and not 1 bit is titles "FSB memory ratio" I know what you mean and I'll not paste exactly what was said and its something else:
    "3. Check FSB memory ratio is set at 1:1 or auto"

  • MSI x79-GD65 (8d) RAM issue.

    I've just recently bought a new pc. Put it together this week aswell, everything works fine except for the fact that my RAM is not capable of running quad channel. The problem is (as far as I've been able to diagnose it) that the slots to the right of the cpu, that's dimm slots 5-8, aren't working.
    After installing all the parts and installing the memory in slots 1, 3, 5 and 7 (the black ones), I noticed that Windows only saw 8GB of ram rather than the full 16GB. I went into my BIOS (not clickbios but startup bios as that allows you to view Memory-Z) and found that it only detected the Ram in slots 1 and 3. I turned off the pc and put the ram in slots 5 and 7 into slots 1 and 3 to check if the ram was faulty. They were detected fine.
    I put all of them in again but still no more than 8GB got detected. I swapped all the memory into the blue slots (2, 4, 6, 8). After doing so the computer wouldn't post. I then tried to boot with different ram (2 sticks of 2GB DDR3 1333mhz Mushkin) in slot 1 and 5 (that is 1 one the left and one to the right of the cpu). Only the ram in slot 1 got detected.
    I then put the Mushkin in the first two black dimms (1,3) and put all the corsair ram into the blue slots (2, 4, 6, 8). No more than 12GB got detected (which was slots 1-4, 2x2gb and 2x4gb). Memory-Z confirmed that none of the ram in slots 5-8 got detected.
    As a desperate last measure I took out the Mushkin ram and put the Corsair ram into slots 1-4. All of the ram got detected but for obvious reasons it was only running dual channel.
    I've read on this and other forums that sometimes the cpu socket pins can be bent and that can cause memory problems, I took apart the pc again and looked at the pins, but none of them were missing nor were any bent.
    The question now is how can I get quad channel ram working?
    system specs
    Motherboard: MSI x79-GD65 (8D)
    Bios: Version 1.7 (latest version)
    VGA: Gigabyte 670GTX OC
    PSU: Corsair Enthusiast TX750M (750 Watt)
    CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 (stock speed)
    MEM: Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4X1600C9 (4 sticks of 4gb)
    HDD: Corsair Force 3 240GB SSD.
    + 2xSamsung F3 1TB in raid 0, all on the Intel chip.
    COOLER: Corsair H100
    OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

    For quad channle you must populate DIMM1, DIMM3, DIMM5, DIMM7 or all slots if using 8 sticks. Populating slots 1-4 has to result in dual channel.
    If 1, 3, 5 and 7 won't work there's some different problem that still would indicate bent pin(s).

  • MSI G41M-P23 FSB/core clock issue (HELP!)

    Alright, so a few days ago I bought an MSI G41M-P23 with 8 gb of DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) RAM (the standard for this board). My CPU is an E8400 (3.0 ghz). At first I wanted to maybe fiddle with some overclocking, which is where I realized that this mobo fails at. Not a big deal...but every time I attempted to up the FSB above 336 or so (this CPU's default is 333... x 9 = 3000 mhz), the system would not POST, instead it simply would loop on/off until eventually going back to defaults.
    That was fine with me -- I don't need to overclock, really. However, I noticed something odd in the BIOS. The CPU speed, which according to the fsb multiplier was the correct speed (2997 mhz), was very not correct in the CPU info section of the BIOS. There, it listed the speed at 1.8 ghz. Thus I decided, for the heck of it, to take at look at CPU-Z at this time.
    This is what CPU-Z is currently telling me (I have a screenshot, but I can't seem to post it here):
    In the "Clocks" section (bottom left of the main tab in CPU-Z)
    Core speed: ~1894 mhz
    Multiplier: x 9.0
    Bus Speed: ~210 mhz
    Rated FSB: ~842 mhz
    The RAM speeds and ratios are correct, though, given the FSB:RAM ratio (it would seem). Ram clocks in at ~333 mhz, which with a 5:8 ratio should put it at 1066...I think.
    So now CPU-Z and part(?) of the BIOS is showing me the wrong CPU speed (1800 mhz). It's also listing my FSB at 200 mhz despite the fact that my I set it in my BIOS at 333 mhz. The 200 Mhz adds up with the incorrect core speed, as 200 X 9 = 1800. If I go back to the BIOS, it lists the FSB correctly, and the POST screen displays the correct FSB and multiplier, but again, the CPU info screen of the bios is reading 1800 mhz, while listing the FSB as 333. I don't have any speedstep/CE1/other modifiers turned on, and this reading is currently under normal load (read: not idle). I'm at my wit's end here.
    Is this board not saving my FSB speeds in the BIOS? Is there any way to fix this issue? I apparently have the most up-to-date BIOS according to CPU-Z and MSI's support website. I have not tried every setting of the OC switch yet, though I have tried a few (200 -> 333, for example) and all have resulted in a system that will not POST, and leaves me having to reset the CMOS jumper in order to get it to boot again (as opposed to the looping/defaulting cycle mentioned earlier).
    Can someone PLEASE help me? I just reinstalled Windows 7 x64/all my programs because of this new board...and I really, really don't want to do that all again.

    Well, I heard back from MSI. They are just as confused over the BIOS version as I am, apparently.  V30.8 is not what is supposed to be on the board. So, rather than flash it and hope that it works, etc., I decided to simply return the board, as I've only had it for a few days, and bared used it. Something is clearly wrong with it to have an "unknown" BIOS installed.
    I went ahead and ordered a new CPU and mobo entirely...Core i5, too. No MSI board this time...only because they didn't have a board in my price range. I wanted this upgrade to be something easy and simple so I wouldn't have to do that.. oh well.
    I do find it very strange what's happened with this board, though....I've never before heard of ordering and receiving a board with an unknown BIOS on it...even according to the manufacturer. Maybe an out-of-date BIOS, but not something completely off the radar. Still, thank you again for your help.

  • Big POST issue with MSI B85M-P33

    Hi guys, I've recently had a huge problem, my system cannot POST at all and it's been driving me insane.
    I've tried to get into the BIOS but I can't get anywhere at all, I've used onboard VGA and DVI to get a display on the monitor neither worked, installed my GPU using HDMI and DVI on my monitor, "no signal" my monitor says.
    I've took everything out and re installed everything, took the RAM out and replaced it in a different dim, didn't work so then I tried it with no RAM at all and couldn't even get a BEEP code for any indication for what to do next.
    Tried 2 hard drives from work that have Windows 7 on (Samsung and Seagate).
    I've cleared the CMOS and left it for 30 seconds and re-installed it hoping for a reason, nothing.
    I'm really banging my head against the wall as I'm out of ideas and can't get any indication for what I'm doing wrong.
    Any help is massively appreciated.

    You need to borrow a more "popular" CPU, be sure the system is rock stable and update the BIOS (to v4.7).

  • MSI H81M-P33 RAM Compatibility

    Hey everyone.
    I'm interested in buying this mobo, but I'm not sure wheter the MSI H81M-P33 is fully compatibile with the following:
    DDR3 G.Skill Ripjaws X-F3-12800CL9D-4GBXL 1600 MHz 4 GB CL 9-9-9-24 1.5V
    This RAM does not appear among the QVL memories on the mobo's page of MSI website.
    Is is fully compatible or not?

    Yes, I plan to buy it for a new PC for a friend of mine.
    I did not know there were known problems with GSkill RAM on MSI boards  !!!
    I own a GSkill Ripjaws pair (2x4 GB) on my own computer, with a MSI P67 GD-65... I've not experienced almost no problem at all until now (3 years).
    A couple of times, when I open the chassis to clean the dust, my desktop refused to boot until I took off and placed back in the ram.

  • MSI 915P/G Combo (MS-7058) Boot Issues

    We have two production MSI 915P/G Combo (MS-7058) boards that for every 100 cold boots there is at least one cold boot that the system will hang. We tried many ATI PCIE graphics cards and even an Nvidia board with the same results. We tried toggling many bios settings to see if it will help but the problem still exists.
    We believe this issue is solely related to the motherboard.
    We are wondering if there has been any other members in the community that have seen this boot problem with this PCIE motherboard?? ..and what you did to fix it?
    Thanks.
    Reply to thread only.

    QTec PSU are well known craps around the hardware places. Imagine a 550watts with only 18A on +12v... Try placing it side by side with another 550watts like Antec or Enermax, even Thermaltake has better specs amps.
    Current Prescotts CPUs are well known Power buggers and heat buggers even that ha applied to the Prescott based Celeron D CPUs. Around 18A on +12v is just entry for Northwood B and C, and for Prescotts, around 20A on +12v is just the bare minimum to run just stable.
    My current system used to run good on a +12v @ 18A, +5v @ 40A, +3.3v @ 20A PSU but craps up after 18 months when I threw in a FX5950Ultra, so instead of buying back a similar PSU, I opt for a more poweful PSU(Enermax Noisetaker 470w PFC2.0) that can last me long even if I'm using the LGA 775s, Socket T CPUs.

  • MSI G41M-P23 (MS 7592) BIOS ISSUES

    Hello to all!
    As the thread tittle says I'm having some weird issues with an MSI G41M-P23 mother board and I'm hopping I might find some answers to my specific problem.
    It was bought nearly 2 years ago and it kept me happy ever since, however about two weeks ago it started to show unusual behavior (FYI: There was no meddling with the system at all. Out of the blue it just started to act up).
    As said, two weeks ago I started the PC. It became clear that something was not right just from the start, since the usual BIOS Beep never came up nor did the system Boot Up. I proceeded to Reset the system, however the it didn't start. It just hanged, showing the HDD LED on Full Load, no video signal.
    Since the system appeared to be completely locked I then proceeded to completely power it down, followed by a start. The procedure appeared to have some sort of effect, since the BIOS started and showed a message in red, something about "overclock failed". Since there was no intrusion in the BIOS settings (which was protected by a password, which I had forgot  ), nor inside the case, the error came as a shock. Two days latter I reset the BIOS by removing the battery for 20 seconds or so (since there was no way I could remember the BIOS password), just as a precaution.
    For nearly two weeks it performed flawlessly. Then today happened. FYI: The system was completely powered down for three days.
    It started just fine, ran for 4-5 minutes and then froze. I reset and after 20 minutes it crashed with no error, just hanging, HDD LED on Full Load, no video signal. Then, 20 minutes later it crashed again, no error, hanging, HDD LED on Full Load, no video signal.
    I have never seen a system crash with no error, or without automatic restart, which leads me to believe that the problem is related to BIOS or is hardware related. I have not checked yet, but I believe I still have several months of warranty on the board and miscellaneous parts.
    Can anybody tell me what the problem is? And if it is hardware related, clearly define it so I can present my case to the vendor?
    Thank you very much and have a nice day!
    Gabriel.

     Google:  RAIDMAX KY-600ATX
     You will see many instances from many people saying the same thing, it's a piece of junk.
     3 examples:
     "Raidmax is about the bottom of the barrel as far as power supply's are concerned."
     "Not sure if that's the problem, but Raidmax are NOT good PSU's to begin with."
     "(KY-600ATX) Raidmax died."
     And many more. No need for us to say anymore about that to tell the truth. Sure you could have other problems not related to PSU but without a decent PSU it's not worth the trouble at this point to try and figure it out. PSU is the heart of the beast and with a bad heart other problems are just too difficult to figure out.

    RAM issues regarding CPU + Mobo & OC'ing

    Quote
    Ok...but the problem was increasing the FSB.....and as for increasing the memory, I realise I have to change it back to 200mhz, but Im getting to that part after I overclock the CPU, I guess thats how its suppost to go? According to the guide Im using anyway...I dont understand how you can test one of them at a time, seeing as increasing the FSB increases the RAM frequencing.
    You are testing one at a time by lowering the memory to 100.   Increasing the "FSB" will result in memory speed less the 200, we know the memory is good up to 200, so...  This way you are pushing the CPU to it's limit but the memory is still running far less then what it can.   In this example the CPU max speed is found then you bring up the memory like you said above.

    Also, there would be no point in getting PC4000 RAM seeing as the Neo4 platinum only supports up to PC3200, plus I was thinking of getting OCZ 2GB (2x1GB Kit) EL DDR PC-3200 Dual Channel Platinum Kit (CL 2-3-2-5) anyway, looks like its good RAM.
    That's just because there isn't an official PC4000 spec.  It will run fine and can use it's potential in this board although if we can't get you higher then 225HTT(FSB) then PC4000 is overkill, as you wouldn't quite max out PC3700 right now.  I've seen memory running at 350Mhz(700Mhz) in your board.  That's like PC5600!  Rule number one, don't believe MSI. 
    I like that OCZ kit you are talking about.

Maybe you are looking for
