MSI G41TM-E43 problems

Hi, I'm having some re start issues.
(system Specs)
Pentium D 830 3.0GHZ
MSI G41TM-E43 "new"
2 * 1GB DDR2 Corsair (2gb ram)
MSI Geforce 9600GT 1GB DDR3
1 * Seagate 320GB ST3320620AS SATA 7600RPM
1 * Western digital 500GB WDC WD5000AAKS SATA 7600RPM
1 * 24X DVD-RW SATA (off brand)
Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit
Cooler Master 500 watts / DC output +3.3v 22A, +5V 25A, +12V1 18A, +12V2 18A, -12V .05A, +5Vsb 2.5A "new"
My computer died on me the other day so I thought it was the psu. I replaced that and that still didn't help so I replaced the motherboard. The MSI motherboard will boot, but restarts 3 to 4 times before it will boot up. Once it's running the computer runs fine. I also get an overclocking error every time the computer boots up and the over clocking button is an the default position. Has any one else had this problem or a fix? I'm starting to think I need to exchange the motherboard.
Thanks for any help
edit - I tried taking everything out and it still restarts.

I am afraid your CPU is one of the few thats not listed on the support page. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G41TM-E43.html#?div=CPUSupport
This may or may not be the problem, but I do suggest you contact MSI support here >>How to contact MSI.<< and establish a course of action or get clarification.
also tell us the exact mem modules you are using

Powering up MSI G41TM-E43 board problem

I have exactly the same problems as described above. I replaced RAM, tried another PSU, flashed the BIOS to 4.4, but nothing helps.
MSI, Please help, because I'm running out of options here.
Regards,
burdy
Using:
- G41TM-E43
- CPU Core 2 duo 3.20

I created your own thread rather than your hijacking the other.
Please post a complete list of your components. Post the amps on the +12V rail(or rails if split), brand, and model of both PSUs that you have tried.
Also post an accurate description of what you've tried and what happens.

MSI G41TM-E43 version 1.0 BIOS Recovery help

My PC keeps going into BIOS recovery mode and won't do anything else. It wants to grab the BIOS file off a USB drive, so I tried to download the BIOS file from MSI, put it on the drive, and then rebooted. The PC finds the drive, but keeps saying it can't find the file. I'm not entirely sure I have the right file, because the picture of the motherboard on the MSI web site doesn't match my motherboard, and the manual shows a different layout as well, presumably for version 2.
I need to know which BIOS file to download and what to name it. I have tried leaving the name alone, and I have also tried naming it AMIBIOS.ROM and AMIBOOT.ROM, which was suggested by some sites.
Can anyone help me find the correct file or help me reset the BIOS somehow? It may be that the motherboard is just broken, but I would like to be sure.
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for responding! It didn't occur to me to try that because all the trouble started when I removed the IDE DVD-ROM drive and installed a SATA DVD drive instead, so I figured it was related to something I had done. I'll try a new battery and see if it helps.
Thanks!

G41TM-E43 overclocking issue

I have the G41TM-E43 mobo with an Intel Q6600 processor with 2GB Corsair XMS DDR2 RAM. The issue I'm facing is that despite me repeatedly changing the BIOS settings back to default, I get (50% of the time) an error message upon startup complaining about overclocking settings and prompting me to either continue or change the settings back to default. After about two weeks of this happening (I've tried using the BIOS reset jumper to reset the settings also) the processor no longer works and I've had to swap it out with a P4. I am under the suspicion that the board keeps trying to overclock the CPU regardless. I have, however made one attempt to OC using the EZ switches on the board, but have since turned off the system and flipped the switches back to factory position before this all happened. Is there anything I can do? Will a BIOS update help? I can post more details if need be. Thanks in advance.

Please provide information for all of the components in your system. Also is the CPU the 105W B3 or the 95W G0?

MSI 880gm-e43 ddr3 1600 support

I recently purchased this motherboard (msi 880gm-e43), and Kingston HyperX 4GB KHX1600C9AD3K2/4G ram kit. However while both are supposed to support DDR3 1600MHz, I only get 1333 with the default configuration.
Do I need to change overclocking settings to get these working? If so how can I do that?
(Btw, SPD shows up to 1333 only, while MSI's control panel applications also has another entry for XMP-1600, which I do not exactly know how it differs).

I though I was able to do it. There was a simple option, which allowed 1600MHz with no issues.
But it turns out that mode comes with increasing DRAM timers. Is there a way to increase the clock speed, while keeping the timers fixed?
(I compared Windows Experience Index scores, it performs exactly the same in both those configurations).
There is this page, but it has no documentation, and I have no idea how to set it up:

Multiple power cycles after installing G41TM-E43 MSI Motherboard

I have exactly the same problem discussed elsewhere in this forum. When I first power on, the system automatically restarts it self 4 times for varying periods prior to finally coming up with an error message that says:
"Warning! The previous overclocking had failed and system will restore it's default settings"
This then results in a question that asks if I want to save the settings. If I say yes or if I say no, it takes me to the same spot - the bios menu with all of the settings for the motherboard.
Here is what I have for hardware:
New Basiq 500W Antec power supply - 5v-30A, 12v-18A, 12v-18A, 3.3v-30A
2 - Maxtor 500gb drives - STM 3500 630AS ATA
Pentium D 820
No PCI cards
AOPEN DVD RW
2 - 2GB Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5 800MHZ bus memory simms
I've unplugged everything but the motherboard and it does the same thing over and over. I've changed the memory timing as specified on the devices.
My quetion is this: is this motherboard compatible with the Pentium D 820 processor?
Des anyone have a solution to this problem?

Its not on the CPU Support list, so probably not:

Try with a CPU that is on the supported list, and see if the same happens.

MOVED: G41TM-E43 Fan control problem

This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=148792.0

Alright then. I am using a Core 2 Duo e6700 with a Cooler Master Vortex 752 (I also tried switching the fan with a Hyper TX3 fan, same result). The thermal compound is Arctic Ceramique. I am sure it is set properly. My computer case is wide open. Of course, most importantly, the temps of the processor cores: they are both idling at 26 Celsius as I set the fan speed manually to 1475 rpm 50% (lowered from 100%) using SpeedFan.
I think from the fact that for both me and Ionut310 clearing the CMOS temporarily solves the problem until next boot suggests they are closely related.
I appreciate the quick response.

Msi ti 4200 problems

i installed a msi 4200 agp video card today and have had nothing but problems. on the first boot xp did not try to install new hardware. In the display properties it did not recognize the video adapter. i tried to intsall the drivers from the installation cd but it said it was not the right files and did not recognize the path. on the second reboot no picture after windows boots. i have a gigabyte mb ga-7vrxp and am upgrading from a pci video card. any help would be much appreciated.

Thatz Y... I won't switched to XP until it has really settle down...
lambethduke, I know where you've got things wrong and its a common mistake as I have accidentally did it myself before ... You must have direct right click on your Display adapter driver and un-install... This will cause the screen to go blank during startup whenever you wanna install the drivers again, though you may be able to see part of the windows starting up... Next time, juz un-install the driver by double clicking on the driver and inside the profile click on un-install and this problem will never exist to you anymore...
All the Best... :D!!!

MSI G4Ti-4200 problem

Hey all, hope you can help me out.
Having some major problems with installing the Ti4200 64 card on my system. My system continually crashes with it and no games or programs run for very long, freezing or just not loading, due to lack of virtual memory.
I've downloaded the latest patch for my motherboard and graphics card so its not that. Might be the psu as its only 300w so I'm looking into upgrading that. Could there be a prob with the motherboard, memory or psu. I can't afford to upgrade all of them so is there a way of finding out which one it could be.
System:
Win 98
Athlon Thunderbird 1.1
FIC AZ11 motherboard
765 crucial sdram pc133 (1 x 256 and 1 x 512)
Maxtor Plus8 IDE 40 gig Hard Drive
MSI G4 Ti4200 td-64
Creative SB Live!
Liteon dvd
300w psu

hi again,
here are the specs for my psu.
+3.3v - 15A
+5v - 35A
+12v - 10A
-5v - 0.5A
-12v - 0.5A
I've since flashed my motherboard with the latest bios, probably not the wisest thing to do in hindsight as now nothing happens at all with the msi agp card so i'm running off my pci voodoo 3 2000 now. As far as the cmos is concerned, its got all the same settings as before and now i'm totally confused. I'm guessing a new psu is the order of the day.

any help??

sorry i dont know what you mean when you say amperage limits (A) on the +12V voltage rails
Look on the PSU sticker. And write down the numbers.

ok i got it to boot but it dose the same thing
Did you do this?

Manually set the memory clock speed to DDR3-1066 for testing and see what happens.

MSI R9 280x problems

Hello i have just gotten a new MSI R9 280x with building a new pc, when i installed all the drivers part from the GPU ones everything was fine, but when i installed the GPU drivers it started to crash such as "Display has crashed and restored" and sometimes it would just come up with a blue screen saying 0x00000116 error.
Now i was thinking its my GPU drivers so i try to install the newest ones and that does not work, still have the same problem
I also tried installing new motherboard drivers and bio's drivers and still nothing. So i would want to know is my GPU broken or my motherboard because everything for my motherboard has been working fine and as soon as i install GPU drivers i start having problems. I have tried to use the integrated graphics and that was working fine (This was when i took the GPU out my pc) with all the drivers for that working fine
PLease help me because i really dont know what to do
I have a MSI R9 280x

MSI TD512EH installation problem

Hi, I got the TD512EH V116 Ver 2.1 512MB MSI Video card - PCI Express, Nvidia 8400GS based, and installed it in my Windows XP SP3 machine (Pentium D 3.4Ghz, 3GB Ram). The card only works as a basic VGA Card (when I connect a monitor to it, it displays windows but the video is extremely slow, even simple page browsing in Firefox, are slower than when using the bult in intel graphics of the mainboard, which I Switched off in bios before inserting the card). When I go to Hardware device manager in XP there is a ! next to the 8400GS Card, even tough I installed the latest device driver from here:
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/NX8400GS-TD512EH.html#/?div=Driver
I tried updating the driver, both from Windows update (it says it can't find a better driver than the one I have installed) and manually pointing windows to the folder of the MSI driver files directly; it says it takes it but after everything finishes the exclamation mark (and the problem) remains. There are no other video cards listed under "Display Adapters". I also tried manual scan for hardware changes. I have no other Video cards in the system (nor other PCI Cards at all, in fact).
Attached are screenshots of device manager screens- in the driver instance ID the last few characters (cropped) are &0&0008. The "File details" window shows all the driver files as ok with a green checkmark.
The screenshots:
http://tinyurl.com/msividprob
or if the above link doesn't work: http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/1987/pciexpresscardnotrecogn.jpg
The General tab says "This device cannot start. (Code 10). "
The Resources tab is saying "The device isn't using any resources because it has a problem". (If its not using any resources how does it display basic VGA functionality even? I know its not the onboard Video card because it is not connected to the monitor). Roll back says of course "no previous driver" because I didn't install any other versions.
many thanks in any assistance in solving this thorny problem.
MSI Video Card Model: TD512EH V116 Ver 2.1,
Firmware: NV116 MS111
Driver: Nvidia_258.96_XP
Motherboard: Intel D945GNT (latest bios update installed-NT94510J.86A.4131.EB).
Running Windows XP Pro SP3 in admin account. Pentium D 3.4GHZ, 3GB RAM.

News from the front line: after installing and uninstalling video drivers a few more times, I found a file, c:\windows\system32\ati2evxx.dll that refused to be deleted (Access denied) even when there are no ATI cards (nor any other external video cards, I removed them) in the system- Driver sweeper detected this file but couldn't remove it. I used MoveOnBoot to remove it, and now I get a spooky error thus:
***User Environment. Windows cannot load User's Profile but has logged on
with the default profile of the system. Detail, The process cannot access the
file because is being used by an other process***
But my account environment seems to load otherwise with all the icons start up apps etc. Anyway the somewhat good news is that now, when I go to safe mode, the ! code 10 error in device manager no longer shows, only when booting regularly. Any thoughts? the onboard graphics are Intel 82945G express, and now in regular boot the device manager error for the video driver is different: "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware" (code 37). When I try to do a driver update and point it to the original intel CD that comes with the system it says "could not find a better match".
Thanks..
Thanks

MSI neo2 platinum problem, forced to reset BIOS everytime I turn on the PSU

I just got my neo2 platinum mobo. Everytime I switch it ON all the led's at the back (diagnostic) turn red/orange and never turn green.
I have to reset the bios everytime to get it to post successfully. (bios is the original bios, no flashes done)
Processor: 3000+ (939)
Anyone else have this problem? what causes it?
[update] the bios version is 1.3 which is the latest on the msi website
System Specs..
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 90nm (socket 939)
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
1 GB Kingston HyperX DDR 400 CS2
SBlive
Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB MEM
Logitech MX510
1x80GB WD HDD with 8MB cache
1x120GB WD HDD with 8MB cache
Lite-On 48x CD-RW
NEC 16X DVD RW Drive
RAIDMAX Black Aluminum Gaming Case with 6 case fans and 420W PSU

I think the power supply may be the problem
Once you reset the bios you don't need the amps to spin up the drives, as they are already spinning, saving you about 3 amps I bet. If the newer bios doesn't help, try unplugging half those case fans, the non boot drive, and take the cd's out of you optical drives so they dont spin up, then try cold booting your box a couple times. If it works you know you need a new power supply.
If it doesn't perhaps you've got a grounding problem? Are you positive that nothing metal is touching your motherboard where it shouldn't? If that isn't it, Id assume the cmos never really clears, and then take the battery out of the motherboard for a good hour while the power supply is unplugged, then give it another shot. I've seen a bunch of DFI boards do weird stuff like that before, the exact same thing actually. Nvidia has a few odd issues with the nforce chipsets and the cmos.
Oh, since you asked, 3000+ is 1.8 ghz. It will probably run at 2.4ghz easy (1.4 volts), thats a 90nm chip

MOVED: MSI vr330x vga problem

This topic has been moved to MSI Notebook.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=144982.0

Hi again,
Have you tried updating to Win XP Service Pack 1 yet?
Else, you may want to try this weird method as some gave a shot and the problem's solved, but not to everyone...
Boot up using the the cards that work, next, shutdown com(do not un-install drivers), put in the Leadtek card, boot up and see if there's the original 16bit colors with 800 by 600 res screen while starting up windows, if it does, try installing the drivers for WinXP/2000 by manually selecting the location as XP has a problem in detecting XP's VGA drivers, restart and see if problem persists.
All the Best... :D!!!
