MSI K9A2VM shutdown

I have a 3 year old MSI K92VM with an AMD Phenom II x4 945 processor. Whenever doing photo edits or even lengthy photo brousing my computer will spontaneously shut down as if someone pulled the line cord. This problem started several months ago. Running SIW shows that temperature TMPIN0 (whatever device that is) beginns to run away shortly after photo work begins; it starts at about 46C and the computer shuts off when after it reaches 96C or higher. All fans are working and the case and vents are clean. Does anyone have experience with this or have a suggestion about what might be a fix? I contemplated putting in a discrete video card but don't want to go that route without some idea that it would solve the problem.

I thought I would post an update for anyone else that encounters this problem. After running for an entire day with photoediting software running the computer again turned off just before I pressed shutdown. I thought that perhaps the fan was being intermittent, so I took out the case screws and the next day monitored the temp while I was working. It started a continual but very gradual rise, so I popped the cover to check the CPU fan with a flashlight. It was running fine. but when I looked through the fan blades I couldn't see an air path through the heat sink! Strange! I unscrewed the fan from the heat sink to find a thin, compact layer of dust completely obscuring the fins. I removed that with a stiff brush and vacuum and the temp dropped from an initial 65C to a just about constant 32-33C. The computer has been working fine ever since. Once again, thanks. I wouldn't have gone that troubleshooting route without your help.

PCI-E 2.1 X16 Graphics card on MSI K9A2VM-FD motherboard

Hi,
I recently bought an AMD Radeon 6870 graphics card to upgrade my aging machine. The card is a PCI-E 2.1 X16 card and unfortunately does not work with my current motherboard.
I was recently looking at the MSI K9A2VM-FD motherboard as a possible replacement that would work with my new graphics card. In the specs the board is said to have 1 PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot. I just wanted to check if this board will work with the card or not?
Any help on this front would be much appreciated. I am a uni student with limited funds from a part time job and, as a result, I can't afford to spend money just to find it doesn't work again.
Thanks in advance for your help

Thanks for your reply Whilst I acknowledge I don't have that much time for gaming, once in a while isn't going to hurt and I do need to relax sometimes
I've already bought the HD6870, so choice of card isn't the issue. I have a 700w PSU which I have tested using a friend's old board with the new HD6870 card and it worked fine, so I definitely know that the PSU is fine and that the card works. I have a foxconn A7VMX-K at the moment and updated to the latest bios to see if that sorted the issue. However this didn't work.
I am now in the market for a new board and was looking at the MSI K9A2VM-FD board. It says it has a PCI-E 2.0 X16 slot on the specs of the seller's site and on most other sites. On some it just says that it is version 2.0 compliant, which is a bit confusing. I just wondered if anyone could tell me whether the HD6870 (PCI-E 2.1 X16) would work on this board (PCI-E 2.0 X16)? Many thanks

We add this line for fixing "page can not be displayed" problem we suffer. But After apply it below "<Object name="default">", according to the document. Admin console shows, "Unknown: AuthTrans: match-browser" in red. Can anybody give me advice to this?Thanks.

I have the same problem.
Can anybody help?
Which version of iPlane I need to use following directive in "obj.conf":

MSI K9N SLI: acpi, shutdown, ethernet "not enough resources"

I recently got the MSI K9N SLI, new ram, gpu to upgrade my computer. I did a fresh install of windows xp pro but the computer kept going into some hibernating/power saving mode suddenly during install of windows. (The power led blinks slowly) After this I can not restart until I switch the I/O button at the back of the psu to off.
-I remembered seeing some options in the bios so I switched off the ability of pci/pcie devices to recover from hibernation/sleep mode.
-The install of windows then got a little further, until it says installing/configuring network devices. A new shutdown (this time a complete shutdown, where I can simply start the pc again at the front). This happens every time.
-I now turned off acpi (advanced power saving... etc) in bios, and the installation of windows went fine. However...
-Now the integrated ethernet lan devices says they cant find enough resources for it to work. So I cannot access the internet. Otherwise the system performs and runs smoothly. Have played games/music..etc.
-Then to solve the ethernet problem I looked here in these forums where I found this post:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=98742.0
This seemed to be a solution...however, it sets the acpi function to enabled, which causes the shutdown/hibernation/sleep mode during install.
When I disable this bios function, everything except the lan problem, works fine. However this seems to make windows install the wrong HAL or device driver for the ethernet/communication part of windows.
It also seem that others are having trouble with their integrated lan. One person's solutin was to install a separate ethernet card, which I am going to try. But I would like to have the benefit of having acpi enabled as it seem to be an important function safetywise.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=99445.msg722820#quickreply
I can recreate the shutdown during windows install every time by enabling the acpi function in bios. Although turning it on after installing windows doesnt seem to do anything, as windows seem to already have installed the wrong driver components. It also doesnt solve the ethernet problem as this requires at least a repair-install of windows.
I apologize for the long post but more information is generally better, right?!
Any ideas of how to solve this?
Thank you to everyone who replies anything helpful!

Quote from: Ferro on 15-August-06, 09:25:13
Just installed the new harddrive and this time I only disabled the ethernet lan during windows install. Then installing the amd cpu software and the realtek audio drivers.
However I am experiencing some minor unstabilities, one restart while surfing so far. Been reading about similar problems with other k9n sli users and if more restarts happen I am returning this mb and getting an Asus. Had Asus for the three last upgrades and never had any problems. Could be a fluke of course. Heard good things about Msi though.
What PSU are you using including the +12V@ value A? Gd luck.

Running Windows 7 64 bit Professional
Problem: Within days of building computer in January the computer started to automatically reboot seconds after shutdown or entering sleep mode.
Attempted Fixes:
-Total re-install of Windows + BIOS
-Updated BIOS via LiveUpdate
-Rolled back to initial BIOS that came with MB
-Changed between registry option of "PowerdownAfterShutdown" between "0" and "1"
-Disabled Wake-Up Events in BIOS
-Changed to OS controlled Wake-Up events
-Changed "Restore after AC Power Loss" to off in BIOS
-Ordered a new PSU, replaced PSU
Regardless the fix, if I try to shutdown - the computer reboots within a few seconds. If I try to put it in sleep mode, it boots right back up. The only way to get the computer to shut off is by manually turning off the PSU.
I've seen that there have been frequent power-cycle issues with this particular motherboard in comments on newegg.com, just wondering if this issue has been encountered and if there is a fix available?

Quote from: Bernhard on 17-February-12, 00:10:35
Is this with no case wire connections to any of the headers? i.e. if you start it by shorting the on/off pin headers with a screwdriver tip.
Yeah, as shown here.
http://www.computer-how-to-guide.com/motherboard-troubleshooting/motherboard-post-test-how-to/
Shorted on with flathead, boots up fine. After flipping off the PSU to turn it off and then flipping the PSU back on, the dang thing waits a few seconds and boots right back up. No short required. At this point I think a ghost might be living in my computer.

MSI NX 6800 system shutdowns

Hello all
A few weeks ago I upgraded my system...
A7V880 Mainboard with recently updated BIOS, no ATX2 power connector
AMD Sempron 2800+ CPU
Soundblaster Live!
...with the VGA card you see in the title and a new power supply unit (PSU).
Ever since I am experiencing system shutdown with immediate restart when I run games which have a high demand of VGA power (HL2, Republic Commando...)
I´ve tried several things already.
I tried to update the graphics driver with 71.50 and 71.98 from the MSI or nvidia homepage. Both produce heavily distorted Icons and Artifacts in Win, so I stick to my current 71.22. Drivercleaner was used to no avail.
I opened the case fo better heat dissipation which worked best so far. Before this HL2 wouldn´t even run until after the intro, now I can occasionally play sveral hours before restart. I am running Asus Probe which reads the heat on my CPU and the mainboard. CPU temp never raised beyond 60°C. Fanspeed of the VGA is set to max.
On this board I learned, that power supply might be my problem. I already tried this calculator and it came up with less than 300W for my PSU (although I didn´t know, which kind of CPU to select, since mine wasn´t in the list, so I chose an Athlon with similar speed).
My SPU is a BeQuiet! BQT P4-400S-S1.3
stats are:
+3.3 V 28 A
+5 V 40 A
+12 V 20 A
-12 V 1 A
-5 V 0.8 A
+5VSB 2.5 A
In several reviews about my VGA I read that it reqired a ´powerful PSU of 350W´ and wasn´t sure how to react so I bought this new one (my old system ran fine with its super cheap 300W noname).
The VGA is connected to a different branch of cables than the rest of the system.
You might note, that these problems are all similar to andrics who has his own thread on this board. I didn´t want to hijack his, so I created my own, I hope this isn´t a problem.
So here I am with a system that runs only reluctantly and the new GTA only two weeks away . Any suggestions?
thanks in advance

Hi Sika,
I just completed 2 cruises with vsync=off without any black screen phenomenon so it seems I´m ok here.
Back to my overheat-theory. I borrowed a room fan from a friend and as soon as I´ve got time I´ll test it with my most reliable `system-sut-down´ program Republic Commando.
Wish me luck and thanks for all your help so far
I certainly wish lucky for testing !
I was thinking your problem for a minute and just wondering weather your cpu is running too hot ? A friend of mine had quite similar problems (with AMD processer, lock-up/freeze/restart especially when hot ambient temperature) and he solved it - by removing chassis panel ! I think you should get a program which measures motherbord/CPU-temperatures. One reason for that could be unproperly attached CPU e.g. too little thermal compound.

Porblem with MSI P6NGM-FD during shutdown.

Overall the PC is stable, works well. The problem is when I shutdown the PC, the harddisk turns off, but CPU and Case still runs. Some commented that this is a problem with the ACPI. Will it be solved if I request another motherboard with the same model, or I just need a bios fix from your site?
I need immediate response. I bought this last April 22, 2008. Please send me bios update if this is the only solution. I'm tired of experimenting/installing Windows XP.

Hello christian1616,
first of all, let's make sure we are talking about the same board. There are three different versions of the P6NGM out there:
- P6NGM-FIH -> BIOS v1.x ----> MCP73U [FIH - GB Lan+1394+HDMI+D-Sub]
- P6NGM-FD -> BIOS v2.x ----> MCP73PV [FD - GB Lan+DVI+D-Sub]
- P6NGM-L -> BIOS v3.x ----> MCP73V [L - 10/100 Lan+D-Sub]
Check your current BIOS Version. It should be displayed during POST on the status screen:
If you cannot get a good look at the BIOS Information because the status screen disappears too fast, disable quick booting in BIOS.
Some other thoughts:

Please send me bios update if this is the only solution
Note that this is a plain user to user forum. Nobody here works for MSI.
We can check if there are any newer BIOS Versions for you board but in order to do that, we need to know which BIOS Version you are currently using.

I'm tired of experimenting/installing Windows XP.
Have you been using an Install-CD that includes SP2?
Quote
ACPI enabled.
Was (IO)APIC enabled as well when you installed XP SP2 and was MPS Table Version set to "1.4"?
Did you clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU at any point and load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS after that?

MSI z77A-G43 - After Shutdown - Fans will not turn off

Just installed a new MSI Z77A-G43 Motherboard for my husband since his old motherboard died. The one thing I've noticed though is that the fans will not turn off after I do a shutdown and I'd have to do a manual shut down instead. Any ideas what could be happening? Also it will randomly restart when not shutdown completely with the fans still on.
Here are the specs of the PC.
MOBO: Z77A-G43
Processor: Intel i5 - 2500k Quad Core
Video Card: Geforce - GT 610
Ram: 8 Gigs
Hard Drive - 128gb ssd and 1.5 tb hdd
It's really barebones since I'm trying to just get it to run then get it back to normal working order with the next pay check
EDIT!!!!::
Forgot OS is Window 7 Ultimate X64

If you are sure that your CPU is seated properly and that the PWM fan connector is seated correctly, then you may want to test with another known working PSU. I am not saying that your PSU is faulty, but before exhanging the board, I would definitely test that as well.
EDIT: Just a question, did you disconnect the power switch and the other front panel connectors of your case and started the PC by shorting the Power switch [pins 6 and 8 on JFP 1]with a screw driver tip ? The remote possibility exits that the cables may have been connected incorrectly or may have a short.

Shutdown during gameplay MSI N580GTX Lightning GeForce GTX 580 Frozr III

Hello everyone,
I recently purchased a brand new n580 GTX Lightning Frozr III and received my card yesterday. The installation went smoothly and it booted into Windows fine, until I ran into problems running benchmarks.
I'm a little hazy on my system specs, but I will get you more accurate specs when I have the sheet in front of me:
The specs:
======================
IntelDuoCore 2
2.0 GHZ
1 kilowatt PSU
Liquid Cooling
Windows 7 64bit
8 GB SDRAM
Ageia PhysX card (Removed, most people don't even know these existed!)
======================
I knew from the beginning that my processor was going to bottleneck my CPU, but the performance is way better than when I used the Geforce 8800 GTX SLI settings.
The Problem:
======================
Mafia 2 - Max settings, including PhysX, aliasing, resolution
A few minutes into the benchmark, basically as soon as the car explodes.
Computer shut down.
Crysis Warhead - Drove down a random rode and crashed into an exploding barrel.
Computer shut down.
APB - Managed to drive around the city for a few minutes, no explosions, no fighting nothing.
Went into the garage, to look at some cars.
Computer shut down.
======================
So I'm having trouble narrowing down what the problem is. I don't think it's overheating because my liquid cooling is doing its job. I don't think it's a driver conflict because I ran driver sweeper and cleaned out all of the old Nvidia drivers.
So, either my card is consuming too much power or my PSU isn't outputting enough power.
I will get specific system specs later on.

Total system shutdown, if thats really the case is most likely psu issue that it dont deliver enough power card and overcurrent protection kicks in and shut the system down to prevent damage. Ive had exatly that issue in past when tried to run GTX470 SLI with 650w psu After i upgraded upgraded to 750w everything worked silky smooth after that.
That's right, its what i tell him here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=149377.msg1109284#msg1109284

If it would be driver related issue it wouldnt cause shudown and would bem ore likly to receive bluescreen or some windwos driver recovery.
This is a separate, second case when he test VGA it friends machine. He don't have shutdown issues there.

wattage of the psu:s dont really tell the whole truth these days. Some older 1000w psu:s with multiple 12v rails are actually worse for modern power hungry gfx cards than modern single 12v rail 600w psu
Yep

You need ampere @+12V not amperes on something else.[video card is powered by +12V line]
This 75A is not related to +12V lines, which is unknown for this split 2x30A, with total under 60A for sure [guess probably around up to 50A combined[if the PSU support combined mode]]

MSI 890FXA-GD65 Shutdown(fans continue)/black screen

At random times as well but usually when I'm playing a game (but not always) the computer will go to a black screen with the fans continuing to spin. Some times my CPU fan gets really loud. I had been using the graphics card and PSU in my old machine with no problems, only after I installed the new mobo/cpu/ram did this problem begin to occur.
When this problem happens I can only turn the computer off with the powerswitch on the PSU.
I saw some other people had this issue but no resolutions were given. Also there's seemed to occur more frequently, mine might go for days with no problem. Right now I'm unsure what the issue is some I'm thinking of replacing the motherboard under warrenty. I waited too long to switch it with the store thinking it might be a driver issue but after having all the drivers updated it still continues.

Hi guys,
I have the same board and I am experiencing the same thing. Random shutdowns after a week or so leaving the computer on. Tried to change everything but the motherboard so as a last resort I am trying the following after this thinking. The 890FXA is compatible with Bulldozer and as you can't have a BIOS for every CPU they must have merged functionalities. Remember this extra Pin for Bulldozer? well it is all about managing power so in my mind I thought that:
1) different power management with BD
2) same BIOS
3) same software developpers
4) same shutdown of the computer (CPU fan still running 100%, no video, ...)
5) same BS from MSI
So I looked into the BIOS and found the Green Power section that I entirely disabled (it also removed the cool VRM Led for the CPU but who really cares?). So far it's been 7 days that my computer is up doing cycles of encoding / decoding TV shows and I'm crossing my fingers. Give it a shot and report please... Hope it'll fix the board!

That... Sorry, just watched it, as I didn't do it before.
It's quite normal (I'd say). In my case, it comes through headphones. Disable/disconnect all headphones/speakers (sound based devices) and see if it occurs again.
It doesn't always happen but think it's some like power discharge when suddenly my headphones lose power (yes USB+Jack) they just go like so.
Yes! That was it, it's when I have a USB headset/speakers in. Ah, you legend. My mind is at rest now. Thank you.

After installing MSI GTX980 Video Card PC won't shutdown completely (Windows 7 S

Hi all,
I'm posting this here because it started post video card install.
After installing a new MSI GTX980 Gaming video card install into my Windows 7 PC it won't shut down completely, monitor and keyboards all turn off but fans keep spinning and LED light on vid card also remains on.
It's also happening in safe mode, it also won't shut down from login screen, a Restart however works fine.
Didn't have problem with previous card EVGA GTX780.
Motherboard is a Z77 AsRock Extreme 9 with latest bios (1.90).
Have reset Bios to defaults and updated Windows
Using latest Nvidia Drivers 344.16
Unfortunately can't test with other card as I no longer have it.
Given it's happening in SafeMode I'm inclined to think it more hardware related then software.
Not sure what else to try.
Other than the above the new video card has been running flawless.
Thanks

Thanks for reply it appears the problem isn't related to new card thankfully as I tried another vid card and onboard vid and problem persisted.
Sleep doesn't work either, actually both the sleep and hibernate options are greyed out in Windows.
I scanned PC for malware and restored it to last know working point, no idea whats happened but I suppose I won't know outright if its software or hardware without a clean install.
Specs:
AsRock Z77 Extreme 9 motherboard
Corsair HX PSU

Did you try to unplug your video card and see if the problem remains? Does sleep(S3) mode work fine? What's your specs?

MSI Neo4 Platninum - Shutdown Computer actually reboots computer

Just finished building this machine 2 days ago. Everything is running perfect and stable as a rock.
The only thing I've noticed is when I go to do Shutdown within Windows, it'll finish with the "saving personal settings, windows is shutting down" stuff then the screen will go blank for about 5 seconds and the machine turns back on. Any idea whether a bios flash will fix this? It looks like I have BIOS 1.3 from 031105. I think I included all necessary specs in the signature, but let me know if I didn't.
Thanks for your help

Quote from: jamz1155 on 07-August-05, 01:55:41
Ah ha! I've fixed it. The problem is not the nVidia LAN at all, because I dont use it anyway, I use the Marvell one instead.
This is how i fixed it on my Neo4 Platinum: Go into the device properties for the Marvell Gigabit Ethernet Controller and to to the Advanced tab. The last entry on the list is "Wake Up Capabilities" - change that to "None" in the drop down menu.
yep that fixed it. thanks a lot! this works in windows XP pro also.
