MSI P45Neo-F FSB:DRAM problem

Hi everybody! I need help!
My system:
Motherboard: MSI P45Neo-F (with lastest BIOS)
CPU: Intel C2D E7400 2.8Ghz @3.5Ghz (350Mhz x 10)
FSB:DRAM = 1:1 (manual setting)
RAM: 4x1GB DDR2 800 @700Mhz 5-5-5-15
System runs fine and stable with those overclocking setting, but the only problem is when the computer is turned off and cut the power (disconnect the cable or switch off the PSU) and then turned on the computer can not boot and I have to clear the BIOS to boot again with default setting. I found that problem was caused by the wrong FSB:DRAM setting: after cutting power then turn on, FSB:DRAM automatically returns to [Auto] value, causing the DRAM frequency was set to over 1000Mhz and the PC can not boot! It only happens when the PC is turn on affter cutting power, if I just shutdown and leave the PSU on, it's fine!
Any advice?

I'm using the lastest v1.9 BIOS, the older BIOS version came with the board had the same problem so I flashed to v1.9, but it doesn't work.

Does this also happen when the system is running on default FSB Clock Settings?
ah... I'll check it.

In which position are your OC Jumpers?
The OC Jumpers is left default. I haven't touch it yet!

try a new cmos battery
I don't think it's about CMOS battery has run out, the board still keeps FSB, Voltage settings... just the FSB:DRAM return to [Auto] when switch on.
Thanks for support!

but why i dont have 400 !! its weared
Dunno ask here as suggested:
Quote from: BOSSKILLER on 19-September-08, 13:35:27
According to manual should have 400 option{That will keep it in 1:1}:
System Memory Frequency
This setting allows you to set the bus frequency for installed DRAM. Settings: [Auto],
[400MHz], [533MHz], [667MHz].
Have a ask here: http://ocss.msi.com.tw/ if 400 is N/A.

Fsb/dram ratio on p31 neo

hi,
i have p31 neo board. in bios the only option for fsb/dram ratio is 1.1.66 and 1.2. with this option overclock is almost imposible (fsb <240)
a bios update will resolve problem or i can't do anithing.
thanks

Actually, the system should start even with DDR2-1066 memory installed, but it should recognize it as DDR2-800. You will not have additional memory dividers when inserting DDR2-1066 RAM. You even be able to increase memory speed beyond DDR2-800 MHz by increasing FSB Clock Speed. However, there is no guarantee that you can successfully make your RAM operate its rated speed.
If you are really planning to overclock your system, you may be better of looking for a board that is more up to this task (P35 Neo2/P35 Platinum would be a much better choice in this case.)

MSI 870a-G54 Hard drive problem.

About a week ago i reinstalled Windows because it started to slow down (virusses and what not) And as soon as i reinstalled everything (programs games etc etc) One of my harddrives used for games did not show up at the bios and at My computer.
So this entire week i've been trying to get it to work again and i've narrowed down the problem today to the BIOS and/or motherboard not giving the power to the HDD in order for it to start and be recognized in BIOS and Windows.
What ive done to come to this conclusion:
- Reinstalled Windows twice,
- Replaced CMOS Battery,
- Flashed the BIOS to every BIOS setting the MSI website had to offer. None worked for the HDD to get powered up again.
- Moved CMOS jumper,
- Changed SATA and powercables on harddrive,
- Tried the HDD on another test PC i had and reformatted it there as well,
- Only hooked up the not working HDD to the PC, (HDD did not spin up, and came to the conclusion at this point that motherboard or BIOS is the culprit)
- Unplugged the powercable to the not working HDD and plugged it back in when the PC was running and i could feel it spinning up, after this i restarted the PC so that the HDD would still get power and it was recognized by the BIOS and Windows and i could use it. As soon as i shut down the PC entirely and restarted it the HDD would not spin up. And i had to unplug power to the HDD and plug it in again and restart PC for it to work properly.
- Checked for bad sectors nothing found,
Everything else is working perfectly. Except that one HDD not getting the power when booting up the PC.
The HDD in question is the "Samsung HD502HJ 500gig" used for Steam games.
PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black edition. Put on a new CPU cooler last summer (Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus)
Mobo: MSI 870a-G54
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 (650 Watts)
Graphics card: Powercolor PCS+ HD5870 Put on a custom cooler last summer (Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5870)
RAM: Kingston ValueRam 1333Mhz DDR3 (8gigs 4x 2gig) Bought 4 gigs extra last summer
HDD1: Seagate ST3160812 AS 160gig used for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Works perfectly)
HDD2: Samsung HD204UI 2TB used for Storage / Other games than i have on Steam. (works perfectly) Bought last summer with the cooling/system upgrade
HDD3: Samsung HD502HJ 500gig used for Steam games. (Does not work anymore after reinstal) Bought 2 years ago along with the rest of the PC
I am completely at a loss here as to what the problem is. I do not have the funds to buy a new piece of hardware at this time (i think the entire week of struggle would back that up for me lol...). And ive basically tried everything what i know and what i've found through Google and friends. Might have been better going straight to MSI forum and post my problem here but narrowing it down to this not only helps me but the person that is going to post below in this thread as well lol.
Thanks in advance and i hope to hear from anyone soon.

Try drive in different PC, as it looks like it died.
HDD's always spinup as soon as power is applied, ergo I think the drive died.
Ive tried it already in 2 different PC's and i have to apologize here for not mentioning that earlier in the topic.
The drive spins up perfectly in both of those PC's and ive checked for bad sectors on both of those PC's as well and it showed that the drive was 100% healthy on both PC's
The drive was working perfectly fine before the reinstallation of windows. Thats why i dont think the drive has died. Because it would be weird that the drive just suddenly gave up right when im reinstalling windows..
It also doesnt add up when i plug the powercable back into the drive while the PC is running and it spins up then and works perfectly until PC is shut down. Thats why i had it narrowed down to the BIOS and/or Motherboard being the culprit.
My best guess is that its software related because the PC does boot up so its not a hardware problem.
P.S.
A friend of mine said that it could be a powersaving issue. But ive looked into the BIOS and i could not find anything about it.

Thanks and sorry for my bad english

Add this to your modprobe.conf :
options snd-hda-intel model=3stack-6ch
It will add a headphones switch to your alsa control which if you disable will mute the onboard speakers.
Works on my MSI vr600

MSI 6967 or PC2PC license problems!!

I have 2 MSI 6967, also known as PC2PC. The drivers on CD are erratic, but I previously managed to get it to work fine with a upgrade to a newer 1.3.x driver. Now with 1.4.x the damn thing is asking for a license key on install (I was unable to retain the compressed driver file that worked, regrettably).
So I went to the slightly rubbish web form to get these, and I entered the correct BD address for each of my devices (I know this to be true, as I when I try to re-register these the web service gives a 'rogue registration' response, so it must store the registered BD's), and obtained a 32-digit key for each.
When it asks for one of these keys on install, I give it, and it seems ok. That is, until it has finished, whereupon the bluetooth system tray icon remains red (inactive, or problem), and only the option to 'Start using Bluetooth' is given on right-click. Naturally I tried this, but it says:
"Your bluetooth software license does not include use with this Bluetooth device. [6]"
When I click OK, it then tries to get me to point it to a new, valid license file. The only one I can see is in the unpacked files that came with the driver download.
I entered the BD correctly on registration, and it must have been valid as I got a 'valid' response i.e. the web form authorised it as an MSI bluetooth device with that address (presumably the whole purpose of the form, apart from spamming you to high heaven). I can't do anything else now as it won't let me re-register these BD's anyway. I can't find the mysterious older driver that worked now, as you can only download the latest (i.e. ) one. I can't even verify the BD's now, as it doesn't give me the option to go to configuration of the device (although surely they are fixed identifiers anyway, like MAC addresses?).
Come on MSI, this is POOR service!! I own these devices, I paid for them, you let me use them for a while and now you have told me to shove it... If there is no way around this insanely crap rigmarole, please make a driver history available.
I recently ordered a new-build pc, and I specifically avoided MSI motherboards and other components because of this specific problem I am having with my 'legacy' MSI bluetooth omponents.
Can someone please let me know how I can get my stuff working again?

hi
i bought the adapter today and it was shipped with the old 1.3.1 drivers that didnt work on my w2k pc *EDIT*(bttray say no device, but w2k devicemanager say device is ok and drivers are running)*/EDIT*. so i tried to get the update and ran into the same stupid problems (wrong license file message) :(. the only positive think is that by reading in this forum i find out that:
1. im not alone with my problems.
2. if msi was thinking when the talk about 'link to the future', that i have to read lots of rather old postings, that only states that msi didnt care about the problems, or simply can't fix them. and the only solution ist to go to the darkest corners of the internet to get a crack for something that i already payed for. i think its better for me to stay in the past and never again buy parts from msi, not for me nor for any of my customers (i'm nearly 15 year's in the pc/network troubleshooting bussines).
3. tomorrow i have to go back to the schop where i bought this useless pice of hardware and give it back. then i wait that the acer adapters are available again. (i use already one on my notebook and was fully satisfied with it, and had mostly no problems at all, at least not such stupid ones).

MSI Admits to FSB Overclocking

MSI Admits to FSB Overclocking
They said in there next bios release, but maybe this is what messed us up with bios 1.3. Their cheating for the benchmarks and were getting screwwed in the end.
MSI still hasnt answered any of my emails nor have they refunded shipping costs of my 875 neo mobo that had to go back cause they killed it with bios 1.3 :O

set FSB:CPU in 5:4
increase cpu vcore with small step
increase FSB to 250,260,280.. you must testing if you put FSB to 250Mhz RAM will working at 200Mhz
set CPU interface to default(not aggresive)
thats mine thinks about that.
expert will reply hope soon to corecting me if im wrong

MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

A lot of things could be wrong but it will be easier to figure out if we know what you did. When you say you changed settings in Bios, do you remember your last settings and what you did?
It might be helpful if you created a sig (as described in the forum rules) to show what you have in your system like my sig below. (Hint- use profile button in sign on screen.)
Things could be broken even if there is no visible evidence (such as flames or melted component) of course.
If I had to guess and your d-bracket reading is correct, corrupted bios requiring new bios chip, but let's not guess as a lot of things could be wrong and you don't want to invest in a new bios chip if the board cannot be brought back to life. Consider removing parts and testing them in an other machine. Start with CPU and memory?
Good luck.

MSI-Z87-G45 Killer networking problem

MSI-Z87-G45 Killer networking problem, need help please!!!
1st instahttps://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172016.0ll- internet works- but when I tried to do the "test" in the control panel for KillerNetwork, it failed to load, it said that I needed to install flash. I closed out that window that popped up for running the speed test and got a message that says that in order for the killer networking to work correctly I must perform the "speed test". So I went and downloaded the latest version of "flash player". tried the test again and got the same results. How the heck can I do that if it doenst see that I have "flash" installed....Grrrrr btw-Flash has been verified and works on the web page where that "test" resides if I go directly to the site, just not via this dialog box that the control panel uses.
So I deleted the control panel and driver and reloaded them.
Went to do the "speed test" and got a repeat of the above, so I left it alone and tried to play a game...the lag was horrible, the worst I have ever experienced - unplayable, so I guess that message about the speed test is 100% a must!!
I have tried everything I can possible imagine, I even reinstalled windows and all the drivers again....still nothing works with this "speed test dialog box"....What to do??
Thanks in advance-Rob

Thanks I will try that, if not, it seems the adapter may have an issue beause the internet is jacked up on it right now.
On that control panel program, I wonder why they wouldnt just program it to take you to the site via the browser and not try to keep it embedded inside that pop-up window<-------hey!!! that just gave me an idea- I wonder if the problem is that it is a type of "pop-up"!! Dang I will have to wait until tonight to try that - "enable pop-ups" ....never thought to try that since it wasnt inside the Chrome browser window itself...maybe its the fix!! "ummm" maybe!!! naaa it cant be that simple ...can it?? lol
I realy hope it is, well either of these...that lan adapter was the whole reason I went with this MSI board!!

MSI k7n2 / pc2700 FSB problems

I can't for the life of me get my PC to post when I set the FSB to 166 in the bios. And suggestions on timings, voltages etc would help..

i raised the fsb on my xp2400 to 166
and i lowered the multiplier to 12 and it worked right away without problem.
wire tricked it.
yea but 166x15=2490!!!

Some question and problems on FSB:Dram

Hi to all, i have a simple question fo you (i hope that's simple :D )
I have a p4 3.2 GHz like you can see here:
FSB is 200Mhz and it's ok
But i have 4 pc3200 ram modules in dual channel mode, i think that their frequency must be 200Mhz but it's only 160, and i can't activate pat, like yuo can see here:
Now my question is: Why?
Thank to all

To obtain 1:1 ratio, you must set your DRAM Frequency to 400MHz in BIOS and make sure that DDR Clock is reading it at 400MHz also before saving to CMOS. Check with CPU-Z again and you'll see that it'll display 200MHz(RAMs are double rated where you've to multiply the rates by 2) and ratio at 1:1.
Isn't so easy...
My actual configuration:
Dynamic Overclocking: Private
Performance Mode: Slow (If i put fast or greater... KABOOM :D)
CPU Ratio: Locked
DRAM Frequency: 400Mhz
Spread Spectrum: Disabled

CPU Vcore Adjust: NO
CPU Vcore: 1.5500V
DDR Power Voltage: 2.65V
AGP Power Voltage: 1.55V
I can't understend why DDR Clock is 333 :(

MSI Z77-G45 GAMING DRAM OC PROBLEM.

TYPE or PASTE your text here... Hi guys,
I just bought this mother board running a i5 3570k and G.SKILL Ripjaws X 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133. After i start all running the first thing I've done was setting the rams to stock speeds, latency and volts which is speed 2133, timing 9-11-9-28 and voltage 1.65V...Whats happens after i plug this is just weird, my pc starts a rebooting loop that goes on forever. This is my first MSI motherboard I'm currently reading a learning my way around.
Please guys help to solve this problem.
TY

First, that ram isn't the best choice for this system. It's voltage rating of 1.65 and ram timings are out of spec and that leads to instabilities / incompatibilities.
Let see if we can get this to work for you anyhow.
1st, is the ram installed in DIMMS 2 and 4 per the manual? (The 2nd from the cpu and last from the cpu)
2nd: Have you tried manually setting the timings to 11-11-11-30 Command Rate 2t, Speed: 2133, DramV: 1.55 If not test and see if that works.
What are your other settings? Have you tried running Intel Burn Test on maximum at stock settings to make sure it was stable there?

MSI Neo2-FIS2R DRAM Problems

Hi, I just noticed today that my memory is running at 333MHz (memtest86 lists 320MHz...) Now I have 400MHz memory in there and my processor being a 3.0C has an 800MHz (or 200) FSB. I've manually set the memory in the BIOS to 400MHz from auto, but it seems to just not care. I'm running BIOS 2.5 (latest as far as I know, from 9/29/04). I was just recently having problems with one stick of memory so I removed that, and it's since the removal that I've noticed the issue.

hmm... what if you set to SPD?
