MSI GX630 CPU problem

Hi,
I've the GX630 notebook with CPU AMD X2 Ultra ZM-80. The CPU is changing frequancy {in the range of 500 - 2100Mhz}. This causes problems with games, HD video and the mouse which came with the notebook. When set on hig performance in Vista 64bit or 32bit it changes only between 1000-2100Mhz. I know that AMD's have these abilities, but it should be possible to turn it of. Till now I spent a lot of time and also money to try to solve my problem, of course if it is a problem... I contacted online support - they couldn't help me. Then I send it to the local warranty service in the Czech republic and they couldn't help me either.
Is it then a problem or is the processor up? Has anybody else this problem?
And could I also please get a response from some official MSI technician whos into the subject and tell me if it is ok.
Thanx.
P.S.: I use CPU-Z v1.48 (freeware) to chceck the CPU-speed

The thing is, that AMD's PowerNow! actually should work this way (and it is good so, because of temp), but not when set on Max. Performance.
Check latest BIOS (maybe your unit was shipped with very old one), do the EC reset and then try to make your own power management rule with all set on performance.
Also, you can try play with tools like AMD Power Monitor Version 1.2.3, which is able to change power management modes thru right click on tray icon, or AMD OverDrive. Even when GX630's chipset isn't AMD/ATi, the CPU stuff should work in OverDrive, I believe.
But be careful, running on high temperatures for long time could make significant damage your laptop!

MSI GX630 CPU upgrade help

I recently ordered a Turion ZM-86 CPU to replace my current Athlon X2 QL-62. I know this is a compatible CPU.
I got the CPU in the mail today and opened my GX630 up and installed the new piece. The chip fit in perfectly. I applied some thermal paste to it and put it back together. After it was all back together, the computer wouldn't boot back up. The power light wouldn't even go on. So i stuck my old Athlon back in and now its up and running again.
Why won't it boot with the new CPU in? The only thing I could come up with by searching is I need to update my BIOS. Also, when i try to run the live update to search for new BIOS on Internet explorer I get the message "LOnline.exe has stopped working" and my only option is to close the program. I tried manually finding a BIOs but i'm having trouble with it.
SO, why isn't the new CPU working, and if it is a BIOS issue, please help me find the right version I need. Maybe its just a faulty CPU?
THANKS A LOT FOR THE HELP!
edit: I ran a program and found out my BIOS version is E1652NMS 1.08 and the date is 2/5/2009... so it's not THAT old.

Okay, I updated my BIOS to the latest version, then tried to use the processor again.. it still didn't turn on although i noticed a very very faint light go on on the power light for an instant then it went out when i hit the power button.
Any other ideas as to why this isn't working before I try to get a replacement CPU from the seller?

MSI GX630 Small issues

Hey guys,
So I have a MSI GX630. I love this laptop. Its been amazing to me for the month I have had it. I just have a small question.
My problem is that I am having issues playing league of legends. I don't have problems playing any other games at all! I just started playing Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning and it plays flawlessly!!!! But for some reason League of legends does not like my laptop. I get FPS drops even though the graphics requirements are way low. Even if I drop my settings in game down to low it still happens. I have read that League has issues with AMD processors and there timing issues. I have installed AMD CPU fix that is SUPPOSED to help with the timing issues. But it did not help. I tried setting the affinity of the game to run off of one processor but that did not do it. Does anyone have any ideas what would fix this? I have most recent BIOS and NVIDIA drivers installed. Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys!

Turn AHCI off in the BIOS if you have the option.
That's the entire problem.
Then you do not need any drivers to install XP

MS-6309 and CPU problem

Hi
I have MS-6309 V2.1 (newest bios) and a regular Intel Celeron 933MHz. Recently I tried to upgrade it to Intel Coppermine 1GHz 256kB cache, but it was doing mathematical errors (random freezing, kernel error, different md5sums of the same file) (in any OS). MEMTEST went OK so I thought the CPU was bad so I tested it in my friend's mainboard and it was OK, so I tested my friend's CPU (the same, only little older release) in my mobo and it was doing the same errors.
So my mobo is bad or it doesn't have proper microcode for my CPU (which may be eventually newer than newest BIOS release) what brings me to point-> How can I update microcode in old AMI BIOS? MMTool and AMIMMDOS works only on newer bioses.
Sorry for my english

So here's specifications of my old creepy computer:
Mobo: MS-6309 V2.1 with BIOS v3.6
RAMs: Apacer 128MB UNB PC133 CL3 + PQI PC-133 MS3828UPS
CPU: Intel pentium III 1000/256/133/1.7V Q111A368-0941 SL4MF
PSU: regular 300W
HD: irrelevant
RM: CD-ROM 54X read
To Frederik about windows: There never had been one (according to former owner) before I got it and there also has never been windows since I got it.
To Stu: I was looking for some old computer to be used as media-centre and webserver when I got this one for free from my friend. And it was beyond my expectations, cos I was looking for some 500MHz, 64MB RAM (which doesn't have problem playing 1400x1050 xvids and DVD's).
OS: Gentoo, Debian, GeeXbox, Xubuntu, TinyME, Sidux, and others..
Either they run from harddisk or CDROM they freeze or do mistakes in calculations (usually it means crashed program or kernel or programs do what they shouldn't). If you f.e. run md5sum with the same file 10x at least two sums will be different.
CPU temperature doesn't go beyond 40-45°C.
The CPU runs well in other mobos (with the same rams or not) and other 1GHz coppermines runs also wrong in my mobo (with my rams or any other rams). So i think it's either CPU problem or BIOS problem (old microcode or something else).
sorry for my english

MSI GX630 Unstable FPS (frames per second )

I just got a msi gx630 the other day hoping with its decent VGA (Geforce 9600GT) run CS1.6 smoothly. What happened instead was that it ran CS like it did not even have a dedicated graphics card. The fps dropped before I even started a new game.When I get into the game , smokes and flashes do not drop my fps . But when I press TAB to see the frags , it drops exactly 10 fps. And big maps ussually drops my fps too. Its very unstable also. Even a laptop with an intergrated graphics card runs smoother than that .I tried 179xx and 176 drivers , no difference .Yes I turned vsync off and all other crap to performance . I tried using Turbo boost too but the result was the same. Please help me out ?

So today i decided to open my Msi ( i know im dumb :D ) . I found 2 cables not connected to anything . Specifically 1 silver cable and one black cable with a number 3 on it . Do you guys have any idea ?
Not all cables need to be connected. They may have put some cables in there in case you wanted to add something later down the road, etc.

High CPU Problems With Screensavers and Flash Player - FYI

Upgraded my 1.42 Ghz PPC MacMini (1 GB RAM) to Leopard, fresh install and suffered high CPU problems as outlined in various other threads.
Fixed major 100% cpu and 100% FAN issue by removing The Weather Channel Screensaver - so have a look at your console system info and see if a 3rd Party screensaver is causing a problem, or if no 3rd party screensaver, try using a simply screensaver like Forest.
Safari/Netscape/Firefox also were using high CPU when a webpage was using Flash, I removed Flash Player 9 (latest version) and cpu load decreased dramatically.
Go here for uninstall DMG
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
Hope this helps someone else until there are fixes.

Just wanted to clarify that the Flash and Screensaver problem is still ongoing even after the latest QT updates as of Nov 07.
The Flash problems is with Flash images/code that use moving graphics/user input, such as those adverts you see where you push a button to punch Paris Hilton.
I think the overall problem is with the way QT/Core Image/Core Animation is different in Leopard compared to Tiger. As have now often witnessed iTunes just displaying the Cover Flow image area and nothing else (everything else in the application area is white) when going between applications, clicking on the iTunes icon in the dock refreshes the image okay.

I guess Intel has the final samples with the manufacturers ...
Now to save up for the CPU upgrade, the probable PSU upgrade, probably a better HSF or CPU cooling system, memory, etc...
But how can I test my system upgrade readiness before the 1 yr warranty expires?

E450 CPU Problem?

Hi,
I got a warning message: fail-Master Disable for UltraSPARC-II.
And the output from prtdiag shows than one of the CPU has gone.
Is this a CPU problem?
Thank you.
Andry

That would be a good guess.
If it's not the cpu, then it's the DC-DC converter that's mated to that cpu module.
Either way, you need to replace hardware parts.
Go to the Sun System Handbook and get the E450's Service Manual.
( actually, you might as well get ALL the documentation for the system while you're there )

MSI 745 Ultra mobo and XP 2400+ cpu problem

Well I just bought an Athlon XP 2400+ cpu as an upgrade for this computer. I am having a hard time getting it to work properly. My setup is as follows:
MSI 745 Ultra mobo (BIOS 1.6 and tried 1.5)
AMD Athlon XP 2400+
Samsung pc2700 memory (2x256meg sticks)
Asylum Geforce 4 Ti4600 video card
Unknown 10/100 nic
Maxtor 30gig HD
The first problem was, the XP 2400+ cpu was auto detected as an 1800+ running at 1.5ghz. I looked on the MSI cpu support page and it said to set the BIOS settings to 133 for the CPU FSB and 15 for the CPU Ratio. I did this (using 1.6 bios version) and the system would not boot. After some struggling I was able to get into the BIOS again. I messed with different Ratio's to lower the operating speed of the cpu. It turned out that anything I tried with the 133 FSB setting would hang the system. I looked in MSI knowledge base, it has my exact same problems listed and the recommended fix is to "upgrade" to BIOS 1.5. So, for kicks I downgraded my 1.6 BIOS to the 1.5 version. I still had the same exact problems, however, one different. When the FSB was set at 133 and Ratio at 15, for some reason the system booted but set the FSB back to 100 and the Ratio to 20 (which is not even an option in the bios). I found this information using Wincpuid once the system was booted. I really would like to get this cpu working as it should and be found as an Athlon 2400+ running at 2.0ghz. Anyone have any ideas?
Could the power supply be at fault at all? It's just a generic PS that came with the case. Maybe the 2400+ needs more power to run at the higher clock speed and FSB? My other thought is the memory. Something related to the ram maybe? TIA.
Justin

Ok the trick is to do *not* as the MSI cpu support webpage says. The support webpage says to set the CPU FSB to 133 and the CPU Ratio (multiplier) to 15. My system would not boot this way. I set the FSB to 133 and the ratio to "H/W" and it works perfectly fine.
