Msi Neo4-Fi Temperature Freeze/Shut down

I have the following motherboard: MSI Neo4-Fi 
The system was working fine for 2 months. Now the temperature is instantly increases 10-15 C after starting the PC-Mark test, and increases more in this great heat.
The computer stops on 65-70 C. Everest measure at aux temp 78C, what is this?
I have checked the cooling, and changed it two times.
The computer is on 52 C at start in bios.
Memtest and ghost freezes too after the start.
The computer contains the following particles:
MSI Neo4-Fi
Athlon 64 3200+ E6 Rev. Stock cooler
Chenbro Gaming Bomb Case  (1*12cm, 2*8cm fan)
MSI 7600GS VGA Card (Idle temp 36C)
2x512MB Corsair Value Select PC3200
Chieftec 410W PSU (Delta Construction)
WD 320GB Sata HDD
Plextor Pata DVD+-RW
Could This be a Motherboard failure ??!??

forget about the fan blowing on the mobo, it doesn't lower the CPU temperature. you will have to take the heatsink and fan off the CPU, make sure that the plastic foil doesn't cover the thermal compound. clear whatever thermal paste is left on the CPU and heatsing and reapply a thin layer of thermal paste (arctic silver 5 is prefered). put the heatsink back on the CPU, and make sure that you connect the CPU fan to the mobo.
with 40C in the room, my winchester would never go higher than 52C, overclocked and under full load, with the stock cooling, so you definately have a problem there. if the computer freezes or shuts down, it is because of the thermal sensor from the CPU.

  • MBP freezes, shuts down, restarts, repeats after log in

    Late 2007 MBP recently upgraded to Yosemite started freezing, shutting down by itself, and then restarting by itself.  I log in, and within anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes after my screen fully loaded, repeats this.  120 gig hard drive is way full.  So pretty sure that is part of problem.  Has been sluggish for weeks.  Have about 18 gigs free.  Attempting to move things off but it won't stay on long enough to do this.
    This morning I managed to access Disk Utilities for repair upon start up, but I was trying different keystrokes to do this. (Posed question for proper keys to do this in another post, but feel free to answer here.)  It performed disk repair and showed all the steps it took.  Two items appeared in red:
    Incorrect number of file hard links
    Orphaned file inode (id = 35716717)
    Then in green:
    The Volume MacIntosh HD was repaired successfully.
    A couple of lines farther down appeared:
    Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
    By this time the timer status showing the repair taking place was gone and I didn't do anything for about ten minutes.  Then I restarted, but the problem has continued. While doing this I was offline.

    I forgot to add that right after the note that the HD was repaired successfully appeared:
         File system check exit code is 0.

  • Msi win top AP2011 random shut down

    Hi
    My msi all in one pc shuts down every time i turn it on for the first time then i  have to remove the power in order to turn it on immediately otherwise i have to wait a while (2-5min) to turn it on again.
    This only happens when i turn it on once a day then it will go on and boot in to windows then after about 3min it will shut down ,then once i get it up and running again it seems to be fine.
    Any help on this will be appreciated
    Thanx

    Hi Mate,
    I don't suppose it could be anything to do with overheating? Usually if there isn't any message prior to it completly shutting down it sounds as though it's just killing itself (not literally) to prevent further damage. Closely inspect the noise of the fans, are they running as they should, if they are then check out the windows logs. It logs everything including problems that occur as they happen.
    Thanks,
    Dan
    Hi Dan
    Thanks for you reply ,no its not overheating it just shuts itself down once every time after the first boot and if i get it up and running after that it seems to run fine for the whole day ,i have checked the windows logs something about a sudden power loss i will check again and give you the correct message
    thanx

  • Mac G4 Freezes/Shuts Down on Its Own

    I have a Powermac G4 that when using, it appears to "freeze". The mouse and keyboard become non functional, and the display looks like it is frozen.
    BUT The power light appears to be off, giving the impression that the computer has intermittently shut down.
    Sometimes it takes a few attempts at pressing the power button to get it to turn back on. Other times, I've pulled the plug and plugged it back in and it would boot up the first time I press the power button.
    Every time I boot it back up, the system clock resets itself and I need to put in the time and date again.
    I would guess it is the battery or power supply.. are there any suggestions?

    Welcome!
    Nearly all Macs have a thermal sensing system that tracks CPU core temps and will shut down the computer if it gets too hot. You can get utilities to monitor the temps, like this:
    http://download.cnet.com/Temperature-Monitor/3000-2094_4-41089.html
    or, since you are in Tiger, this Dashboard widget:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html
    I'm not sure what the critical temp is for an G4. My MDD 1.25ghz single processor has never posted a temp (via Temperature Monitor) greater than 117F/47C but dual-processor machine can run hotter. I thing the 140GF range is getting close to the danger zone.
    If temps are running high, there is a physical action and a software action to consider.
    The physical action is to make sue that air intakes and exhausts are not blocked. This mean keeping desk clutter away from the front panel and leaving at least six inches between the back panel and any obstruction. Also open the side door and see if there is a convention of dust bunnies clogging the air paths and fans. A good mucking out with a non-static brush can peel several degrees off the temps. I use a kitchen pastry brush with natural bristles and a wooden handle.
    The software item is to see if you have a "runaway background process" demanding too much of the processor. The steps:
    1) Quite any user applications so the computer is as normal idle.
    2) Find and launch Activity Monitor (in Applications > Utilities.
    3) If you've not done so before, set AM's "Show" setting (top part of its window) from "My Processes" to "All Processes."
    4) Clip on the header item in the table that reads,"%CPU" to sort the processes by their CPU demands.
    5) Let AM run for a minute or so. No process should be taking more than about 5% of the CPU if you've quit all other user apps before starting.
    If this shows one or two processes hogging the CPU, post their names and we can guide you through taming or evicting them.

  • P55-GD65 Problem Freezes / Shuts Down unexpextedly

    Hi all,
    I've recently received a replacement P55-GD65 part for my pc upgrade. The first mobo was broken but I'm not sure wether the current one is any better.
    I have a freezing problem with my set up. After I power up it goes to post and lauches windows. However, within 5 to 10 minutes the system just shuts down on its own. Sometimes this happens already in BIOS when I've been looking around for a solution for some time.
    After power down pressing the power button doesn't help. I have to disconnect power cord from PSU and wait a bit before reconnecting for the power button to work again.
    I've been reading other posts and people have the similar problems, but none of the solutions have resolved my problem.
    I've tried putting OC genie on - no solution.
    I've tried using only 1 memory - no solution. and yes I've taken the memories out and reincerted them.
    I've tried setting BIOS to optimized defaults - no solution.
    I've tried setting memory speed down from Geil automatic 1333MHz to 1060MHz - no solution.
    I've tried setting memory voltage up from Geil automatic 1,5V to 1,6V - no solution.
    I've tried taking CPU out and replaced it in the socket - no solution.
    I've updated Intel drivers from MSI website.
    I've updated other drivers from the CD that came with the mobo.
    BIOS version is 1.3
    There has been a lot of discussion about corsair memory modules but none about the GEIL ones I have. Has anyone experience with the memory I have? According to MSI website P55-GD65 is tested with a dual setup of 2g Geil memory that I have, and should be ok.
    Can anyone lend a hand so that I can get my pc running. This has by far been the most troublesome upgrade for me.
    Thanks for replies!

    To me it looks like not a single one of you has bothered to up date BIOS which has over time had numerous memory compatibility fixes.
     Update BIOS, get Crucial RAM.

    I am not able to update the bios because my pc would crash before allowing me to. I asked MSI to update the BIOS before sending the board to me.

  • Msi nf750-g55 System Randomly Shutting down.

    Hello everyone, Back in April of this year I built a system through newegg with the following Specs:
    Motherboard: MSI NF750-G55
    Processor: AMD Phenom II x6 1090t (with stock heatsink)
    RAM: Corsair x4 2GB DDR3 1333
    Power supply: Cougar 700W Sli ready
    Graphic Configuration: two MSI Geforce 460 Cyclone GTXs running in SLI
    Hard drives: 1 WD 300GB VolociRapter and a WD 500GB mybook removed out of its external
    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    Not long after I built the system (before I even thought of overclocking it) I began having a serious yet vague issue: It would shut down randomly. And I mean very randomly. Sometimes it occurs once every couple of hours, and other times it doesn't happen for more then a week. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing on the system either. I could be playing games, or just listening to music and it will still happen, so I can't imagine its related to load. Its been a long, painstaking process to try and fix. I ruled out some of the parts it could be though. I have replaced the Power Supply with a higher quality model and an extra 50 watts, checked the temps on the system for a number of weeks while idle and under load (all looking cool except MCP), ran memtest86 successfully for a full 24 hour with no issues, as well as re installed windows 7 once. Issue still occurs.
    To be perfectly honest I am not really sure where to go from here. I purchased all my parts through newegg, so I am confident I could RMA the component that is experiencing failures if that is the case, but there in lies the problem: I am not sure which one to RMA! I don't have a means to swap out parts, as no one i know has a system with a similar configuration as me.
    I am suspicious of the Motherboard along with the processor, which is why I am posting in these forums...
    Any ideas or suggestions as to how I could either fix the problem through configuration or pinpoint which hardware component is causing these random shutdowns would be much appreciated! I really don't want to run the risk of damaging any of the other components...

    Swapped out my first 460 with my other one after 2 consecutive shut downs in 1 hour... haven't been around to continue working on it until recently, but atleast its looking like it isn't my cards.

    it doesn't matter, software voltage measure isn't accurate you can't trust them.
    If you want to check voltages [use multimeter],
    or best test with another well known working and powerfull enough quality and single rail PSU
    I got a question, why would single rail or multi rail make a difference? I hear the only reason they split the rails is for protection... and if both my PSUs are SLI ready, why are my components drawing too many amps?
    So I guess its time to shell out another 100 - 150 bucks on a PSU... Can't say I'm thrilled. Looking for one with a single 12v rail. My question is this, would this single rail power supply meet my needs?

    As for the AMD standard paste, sorry but I remove that instantly and add my own itty-bitty-tiny drop of grease and smear it so thin you hardly see it.
    Too much paste can cause this too, and yes I consider the AMD amount too much.
    Heck without paste it will do a better job then the AMD amount, the CPU has a heat-spreader and doesn't need that much.
    But, it could also be your heat-spreader is broken, as such CPU-temp-readings will reveal that.
    Well, so far I've seen no problems with temps. The shutdowns don't seem to indicate that heat is a problem too. I can start the system immediately after a shutdown, it doesn't matter what I am doing on the system to make the shutdown occur, and my peripheral devices are sometimes still powered after a shutdown (such as caps lock on the keyboard).
    Also, hardware monitor shows it idling at almost room temperature in the post above lol. Under load I think about 38 - 40c from what I remember seeing. I'll post a load temps pic after a few hours of torture testing tomorrow.
    Also, I may have only personally built one other computer from scratch, but I have done quite a bit of troubleshooting, as well as assisted with other people's builds. Now I am not calling myself an expert by any means, but all that being said I have yet to come across or even hear of a CPU heat related problem where there was too much thermal paste on a stock heat sink... lol learn something everyday.

  • Mid 2012 13" i5 Macbook Pro Screen Freeze, Shut Down, 3 Beeps!

    Hi guys, my macbook recently started freezing and then shutting down giving 3 beeps afterward. I know 3 beeps is traditionally RAM, but here is a picture of my screen when it freezes. Do you think its GPU and logic board problem or is it really the RAM? Maybe something else? Anyways would love some feedback, going to take it in to the Geek Squad as it still should be covered with a 1 year warranty since I purchased it in February of this year.

    I will be taking it in next week, just wanted to have an idea of what it is. This is my second Macbook pro, my first I have had to get fixed 6 or 7 times in a couple years but Apple and Bestbuy wouldn't replace it, even though the first problem happened during the 1 year warranty... After the last time we had it fixed they finally gave me a big discount on another one, but now this one is having problems... I thought MacBooks were supposed to be very reliable! I am not hard on them at all, never been dropped once, not even a scratch on them. I don't get it. Would still like to hear some more thoughts, especially if you have seen a screen like this one! Thanks!

  • Static/crackling freezes/shuts down Toshiba L300 (already cleaned fan/heat sink)

    Was slightly intermittent but pretty much unable to use the computer at this point. The only clues I can give is that there seemed to be 2 errors about usb so wondering if that could cause the static build up that freezes the computer? One was on shut down and the other was after static started and it seemed to be trying to grab a driver (for usb I think) almost as though the device disappeared but then the laptop froze. It wasn't too long ago one of three ports wasn't working but they all work recently (don't recall which one quit for a bit).
    Unfortunately I need to fix it myself due to finances. How do I physically disconnect all the usb ports to rule them out? I probably did this when I took out the motherboard to clean the fan/heat sink but I don't know for sure which connection(s) they were.
    If I'm way off please provide other suggestions. I REALLY appreciate any help given. 

    first off, please provide the entire model number of your computer.  It is printed on the bottom.  do not provide s/n.
    Do you have a backup of all your personal data?  If not, I would say that should be your priority at this point. 
    After that has been dealt with, the next question is "did you make restore disks when computer was still working?" 
    Can you get into recovery menu (spamming f8 on start up).  If so, try going into safe mode and restoring the computer to a restore point at a point in time before the problems started. 
    When you cleaned fan/heat sink, did you reseat the heatsink.  If not, you may want to open it back up and reseat the heatsink (i.e., remove old thermal paste and reapply).

  • Screen Freezes/Shut Downs

    More and more often, my screen will freeze up during a video/game and will lock up the computer. Yet I can still hear the sound, just no movement on the screen. I have to manually shut down the computer or standby and refresh it to correct this issue. Could it be some kind of virus?

    Hi Frickel and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    When you post for advice, could you please indicate which Mac you have too. The more we know, the better to help you.
    There are no known Mac virus at this time, so I sincerely doubt that.
    At this point, just to start trouble shooting, use your system restore disk(s) to check the drive for any potential problems.
    "Try Disk Utility
    Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    Select your Mac OS X volume.
    Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    Quit Disk Utility from the Menu, then click Utilities/Startup Disk. When the window opens, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.

  • Continuous Restarts on MSI K8N Diamond Plus when shutting down.

    I'm experiencing an odd situation where my computer doesn't want to shut down (via windows), but instead restarts.  I think this only started happening after I updated the BIOS via Live Update.
    It happens whether I go to Start, Turn off computer, or briefly hit the power button.  The computer acts like its shutting down, but then reboots as if I chose restart.
    Also,  I get to code beeps at any start up - is this normal for MSI boards?  On my other board, this would have indicated a problem.

    RB - I did not reset the CMOS after the BIOS flash, yet I did see that all my settings had changed to default.
    Bas - This is in fact a fresh install of Win XP Pro.  The HDs were brand new and I would never try to use a RAID array from another system in a new one.  Thanks for the info on the two beeps, at least that is a relief.
    The reason I suspect it is a hardware issue is that when I tell it to shut down, it actually shuts all the way down and powers off (I hear the fans halt and the speakers "pop" when the PS kills power).  Then about 1 second later, it boots back up.  Where as a Windows restart never actually kills power.

  • MSI Z77-G45 starts then shuts down and restarts

    Hi,
    I got a brand new MB Z77-G45, with an i5-3470, 2x4Gb Kingston DD3 XMP Blue, and a WD Green SATA 6Gb/s. All that into a Cooler Master N400.
    Plugged everything into the MB, powered it and it starts, the 3 fans spin, the frontal led flashes, as well as the 4 leds on the MB but nothing on the screen (with the "no signal" message)
    and then shuts down. And restarts again. Shuts down, restarts...
    It run with an Advance 600W and all components are new. Any clue?
    J.

    Good news: a friend brough one stick of DDR3 and it worked! So now, it's just a matter of finding out if the Kingston I bought really is faulty, or if, as you suggested, it's a matter of updating the BIOS.
    Either way, I'll post the update and hopefully along a [SOLVED]
    Thanks a lot for your input, guys. 

  • Intermittent freezes, shut downs, scan lines, and clicking.

    Hey all,
    Unfortunately for me, my MacBook is no longer under AppleCare.
    Just a couple of weeks ago, I had re-installed Leopard and all applications. The primary focus for doing this was to devote about 20GB of my drive to Windows.
    Long story short, I backed up all my essentials, reinstalled Leopard, and called it a day.
    The next day, I started to install Windows (XP). All went well. I was downloading Firefox via wireless, and then all of the sudden, my computer shut off. I turned it back on, went back into Windows, and all seemed fine.
    A couple of days later, I was working on OS X. I don't really remember exactly what I was doing, but I had the usual apps open: Adium, iTunes, Safari, Mail. All of the sudden, my computer freezes, and there are some odd lines scrolling down the right hand side of my screen. Now I'm convinced that there's something wacky going on.
    I continue to use the computer despite the problems that it's been having, and over the course of the next week or so, it continues to sporadically shut off and freeze, as mentioned above.
    However, today, it reached an all-time high. Not only did it freeze with lines scrolling across the right hand side of the monitor, but it was clicking as well. A loud click every half second or so.
    I'd say that 90% of the time I've experienced these issues, it's been while I was running VMWare Fusion (with Windows started), or while I was actually in Windows. However, it's happened also while I was just using OS X as well.
    Here is a picture of the computer while it was frozen:
    http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/1482/img0014vg8.jpg
    I've also ran Tech Tools Pro on the computer, and it came back with no problems.
    Disk Utility returns no errors or problems.
    Note that this problem has also happened with and without the Mini-DVI adapter.
    The obvious solution is to take the MacBook to Apple, however, I'm wondering if anyone can point me in the self-service direction. The loud clicking surely sounded like the hard drive, but I would really like to avoid spending $100 just to see if that's the case. Moreover, the lines across the monitor seem to denote a video issue (in my opinion). In this sense, I'm kind of torn.
    ...Of course, it could be both. That would be a downer.

    Hello, Have you found out what is wrong with your computer. I am having the same problem. The lines and across the entire computer.
    It happen different times. Other problem is when I play certain video or games she goes to black screen and the white light blinks and I have no way of shutting her down but to us the on button.
    I am so fustrated. I know I have to bring it to Apple. It just a far drive 1 hour each way. Hope you can tell me some news that you got on your problem. thank you

  • Photoshop cs5 blinking screen, freezing, shutting down

    Hi,
       I'm a photographer and I recently purchased an 8 core Mac Pro 16 Ram with a standard GT 120 video card (Nvidia Gee Force).  When I purchased the computer, I also purchased photoshop cs5.  I am running into issues when editing my images in cs5.  For example, when I drag and drop images into a droplet, photoshop starts going crazy.  My screen starts this flashing, blinking thing (from top to bottom of my screen).  The only way I can get it to stop is by pressing the button on my system to shut it down.  The mouse will move on the screen, but it won't let me click on anything so I'm not able to force quit. I have an apple cinema 30" display, and mac has tested several things.  They seem to think it's a issue with cs5, or maybe it's a possibly of a video card issue or adobe's compatibility with the Mac 10.6.4 version. They think it's an adobe issue b/c I only have issues when I'm using photoshop. My system is completely up to date; all software is updated.  PLEASE help with the issue.  I'm getting further and further behind on my work!!
    Thanks so much,
    Emily

    As you can read in all the other topics on the same issue: this is a well known bug in the MacOS 10.6.4 drivers for NVidia cards.
    The same bug affects other applications that use OpenGL.
    You can find instructions on downgrading the video card drivers in the previous topics, or you can just downgrade the entire OS to 10.6.3.
    Hopefully, Apple will get an updated driver out soon.

Maybe you are looking for
