MSI P965 Platinum - power loss

1. Product Type: MSI P965 Platinum Series
2. BIOS version: AMIBIOS(C) 2006 American Megatrends, Inc. A7238IMS V1.2 110806
3. External VGA Type: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS 256MB
4. CPU Type: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6300 1.86GHz
5. Memory Type: Kingston 1024MB
6. Power Supply Type: Chieftec 550W
7. Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition SP2, Ver. 2002
My main problem is permanent losing of power from mainboard when I shutdown my PC.
I noticed that devices such as Scanner and CardReader turn off, everytime when I shutdown PC, instead of staying in Stand By.
I think that it is not OK and that MSI P965 Platinum mainboard doesn’t work properly?! Also, I can't power on the system with keyboard or mouse,
even these options exist.
Thank you in advance for your consideration!

elgasoni,
please allow me to tell you what I know about PC and this power management thingy
1. no WOL (wake on LAN), no Wake on USB, no Wake on PS2
--> there should be no LED blink on your system while it is OFF, but your power supply still supplying 5V_stby to your board.
2. with WOL, no Wake on USB/PS2
--> no LED blink on your keyboard/mouse too, but your LAN port may still blink if you hooked your LAN cable up to a powered router. Again, your PSU is only supplying 5V_stby to your board and the LAN is consuming it.
3. with WOL, with Wake on USB/PS2
--> there may be LED on your keyboard/mouse, depending on your keyboard/mouse design. Your LAN port surely blink as condition stated in (2). Same thing, PSU only supplying 5V_stby.
4. The "S3" suspend mode.
--> This mode has to be exit from Windows by selecting "standby" and your BIOS must enable it to suspend to S3. The LED will behave the same as in (3), in addition that your RAM is still powered, refreshed to keep its content. If you remove your RAM stick, your system will not be wake up anymore.
--> If you wake up the system, your system will take you directly less than a second to the Windows to the logon screen with your previous sessionis still active in the background.
5. "S4" hibernate mode.
---> the LED behavior will be like (1), (2) or (3), depending on where you set your system to be.
---> When you wake up the system, it takes a few seconds (could be 10 seconds or more, depending on your RAM size) for your HDD to fetch in the previous RAM image back to your RAM.
So, which behavior you are having right now?
And now, the potential problem --. LED blink, but no wake up event support, LAN, mouse, keyboard all can't wake up the system, but they are still consuming power. Yup, this could be a HARDWARE problem, or could be solved by BIOS.
Are you having this problem?

Some more questions in addition to that:
1. Did you plug in all power connectors properly?
----> 24 pin (board)
----> 8 pin (2x (2x2) pin) +12V CPU (board)
----> 4 pin (molex) PCIe (board)
----> 6 pin +12V PCIe (video card)
2. Can you give a little more information about your power supply, I found two different power supplies on the NorthQ Web Site that have similar modell names.
---> How many +12V rails does it have and what is amperage limit on each rail?
- The NorthQ site lists a power supply called 4775-500S Giant Thunder and in a note it says: 2 * 75Watt PCI-Express line. That means only about 6A for the video card only on the 6 pin PCIe connector. This may be too weak. Make sure you are using the board's PCIe connector as well.
3. If you can't boot your system it is of course impossible to have a look at the BIOS Version. If you are unlucky, the board came with a BIOS Version prior to v1.4, which means that your CPU may not be supported with the current BIOS.

MSI P965 Platinum ATX2 query?

Hi I have recently purchased the MSI MSI P965 Platinum and have a 600W Zalman atx2 PSU (zm600hp) the PSU as a 20+4 pin connecter to be compatible with the 20pin and the 24pin slots and has a warning on the +4 pin part of it not to connect with atx12V connector? or will damage my cpu/motherboard, now I am not game to turn it on until I can confirm what should be plugged in here? (Could be just the bad translation on the cable that is confusing me with the wording of the warning)
According to MB manual it pretty much says make sure everything is connected? So is it best to have the 24pin atx2 connector, the eps12v 8pin (2x4pins supplied for this by zalman) connected for power to psu, and the pci express 4pin power connected all at same time?
Also I am getting soon a Geforce 8800GTS 320MB soon, Am I supposed to have the 4pin power connected to the pci express connector on the Mboard and another pcie power connector hooked up to the video card at the same time? or is it only one or the other?

OCTO, kindly list out your full system specs, so we can provide you better advice. (read the moan guide).
For the 2x10 vs 2x12 pin ATX cable, you can safely plug in 2x10 cable to the 2x12 ATX connector on the board. Your board will function normally. The reason of having 2x12 connector (increasing 4 pins from 2x10) is to provide a feedback path of +12V, +5V, and +3.3V (and GND) from the board back to the PSU. Of course the PSU should design the PSU to take these extra 4 pins (4th pin is ground) as feedback. If not, then it's also no harm as it also increases the copper of +12V, +5V, and +3.3V rail from the PSU to the board, providing more current flow.
No harm it is.
For the eps12v 8pin, check the wires, they are all yellow (+12V) and black (GND). This is specifically for the CPU. If your board only has 4-pin CPU ATX12 connector, this 8-pin should also fit in (there is only 1 way to plug the cable in).
For the 4-pin connector near the PCI express, this is optional. You may not need it. but if you have problems with USB devices drop off, your PCIe display card keep hanging or it doesn't have its own addtional power connector, then you need to plug this 1x4-pin connector in for better power.

MSI P965 PLATINUM CAN'T WORK ALL MEMORY CHANNELS

• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDR2 SDRAM
• Supports up to 8GB memory size (DDR2 533/667).
• Supports up to 4GB memory size (DDR2 800).
• Supports dual channel DDR2 memory architecture.
• Supports DDR2 533/667/800 memory interface.
That's what MSI says in manual.
I recently upgraded my computer to core 2 technology, and because
i used programs that consume a lot of memory i bought
4 ddr2 667 memory modules of 1024GB each Kingston Lifetime....e.t.c
when i installed the 4 dims i sawthat windows and bios was able to see only
the 3 modules. The 4th was on vacation... After changing at least ten times the memory modules.. ( same date, time, brand, production date, stickers, and all that)
i still have the same problem... Anyone can help please?

sorryguys...
but having a PC of latest technology and buing a motherboard which can not
fullfill what is suposed to do, really gets me mad.
The amperage is
+3.3V +5V +12V1 +12V2 -12V +5Vsb +3.3 +5V Combined Power

Before i continue, i'd like to thank you all for your support. I'm from ATHENS Greece,
and i paid 2500 US Dollars to get this Pc the way i wanted to. The answer i got up to know from
all the companies i cooperate is. NO MOTHERBOARD SUPPORTS 4 DIMMS ANYMORE
kEEP THE 4TH DIMM, JUST IN CASE OR BRING IT BACK TO US AND WE'LL GIVE YOU YOUR MONEY BACK
Now a stupid question of mine WITH 3 DIMMS memory cant work dual channel? Correct?
So what is the meaning of keeping the THIRD dimm ... It will work single chanel? Right?
Now i come to the most important thing.. MSI's Manual...
Main Memory
• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDR2 SDRAM

Who will support me when i get a serious brain damage???
Anyway thanks a lot guys for your help. I really appreciate it..

MSI P965 Platinum, system won't boot only when ICH8R is in RAID

So I couldn't get my system to boot properly when I have the ICH8R in RAID 1 mode.
I have the boot drive on a single, non-raid Wester Digital 250gb Cavair HD on the ICH8R.
Installed XP Pro SP2 with the ICH8R in IDE mode. I installed in IDE mode beceause I was unable to install XP on my single drive when ICH8R was in RAID mode. I installed XP in IDE mode, did all driver updates, then put the ICH8R into RAID 1 mode for my other data drives and the system will post, start to boot and get to the Windows XP boot screen then the system just restarts before the boot completes. It does it in normal boot mode and safe mode as well.
With the ICH8R in IDE mode everything boots/runs fine.
The problem is, I need the 6 SATA RAID controllers on the ICH8R as I have 3 RAID1 arrays.
I've done all the updates to windows, motherboard bios, Highpoint RocketRaid bios update, tried every mode on the ICH8R, unplugged the Highpoint Rocket Raid, left it plugged in with no drives plugged in, disabled the Jmicron controller, everything I can think of.
Any help would be appreciated.
I did not do the windows floppy driver install for the ICH8R when I installed XP, but I have not had to do that in the past with the ICH7 on my old motherboard so I assumed I wouldn't here as I've been told it's just if you are installing windows on a RAID.
System:
MSI P965 Platinum
Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 CPU
(4) 1gb OCZ Gamer Extreme DDR2 PC6400 RAM
Windows XP SP2
High Point Rocket RAID 2300 PCI Express x1 RAID card
Asus nVIDIA GS7300 PCI Express Video card
Drives on ICH8R Controller:
Boot Drive: WD Cavair 250gb SATA2
DVD: Some sony 16x DVD - SATA
RAID1: (2) Seagate Barracuda 320gb SATA2 HD's (setup on previous motherboard on Intel ICH7 Controller)
(2) Seagate Barracuda 500gb SATA2 HD's
High Point Rocket RAID 2300 Controller:
(2) Seagate Barracuda 500gb SATA2 HD's

The problem that you are having has nothing to do with your mainboard.
Once you decide to install Windows XP SP2 when the ICH8R controller is in IDE mode, Windows will give you a bluescreen once you switch to RAID mode after the installation is done because it is to stupid to change to the proper driver. Consider this as normal behaviour.
You have basically three possibilities:
1. Reinstall XP with integrated SP2 and integrate the Intel ICH8R RAID drivers using a floppy disk
The latest drivers can be found here.
As I understand, you have already tried that. I if you don't feel like trying this again, have a look at this:
2. Slipstream Intel ICH8R SATA RAID drivers using NLITE or XP ISO BUILDER and try to install again with a self-made install CD that already includes the proper drivers (no floppy needed)
Use google to find one of the tools I mentioned. The procedure is free, perfectly legal and easy to do. Guides for this can be found all over the internet
3. Switching to RAID mode without having to re-install Windows XP
If you are still using your existing installation, that was done when the controller was in IDE mode, the follwing trick may work for you.
I posted a little guide on how to switch from IDE to AHCI mode without having to re-install XP. Have a look at the guide. The procedure is essentially the same for RAID. The only difference is the content of the REG-File that you have to make.
Guide: HOW TO switch from IDE to AHCI mode without having to reinstall Win XP (GUIDE)
Use the following content for the REG file instead of the one I put up in the above thread:

MSI 975X PLATINUM POWER UP EDITION

today is january 23rd, 2010
i just bought the msi 975x platinum power up edition in new york, from a store that was going out of business, but i am having problems because this does not power on.
i am using brand new and tested functioning: thermaltake tr2 430w psu, intel core 2 duo 2.66GHz fsb 1066, and also tried a celeron d 2.66GHz fsb 533, 1x corsair 1gb stick 800 mhz, nvidia 7 series pci express vga card, connected to a test ctr monitor AOC 5en.
i connected the 24 pin atx main connector, the 8 pin connector that powers on the cpu and also the peripheral connector that powers the pci express, and all i got was the heatsink fan spinning, but nothing appears on my screen (all is black).
i hope somebody can help me, because now the store where i bought it has closed, and i dont know how to get a warranty from MSI since i dont understand their RMA policy.

if it is not sure that after updating bios the motherboard can use some more new cpu`s, then i think it would be a waste of time trying to do a bios upgrade.
I am not sure that I understood what you mean, but it is nothing unusual that an older board/chipset will not support the latest processor models. And this has nothing to do with the board manufacturer.
Quote
I only wanted to do that bios upgrade thinking it would be enough to avoid the karma of searching for those listed cpus
What is so hard about digging up a supported processor? I mean, all you have to do is to decide which model you want to get (an E6600 would be a great choice for this board) and then buy it. You will probably be able to get a great deal on a used one on E-Bay.
This is not a complicated situation.

this is my first msi mobo!!!
... and it has nothing to do with this being an MSI Mainboard. The only problem is that it is an old mainboard/Chipset and that the latest 45nm processors are too different regarding their specifications to be properly supported.
Quote
where can i get a copy of the driver cd utility of this mobo?
i would like to get a copy from the original cd
There was no driver cd included in the mainboard box which you can make a copy off?
You can find all drivers for download on the product site for this mainboard:

MSI p965 Platinum with E8400

I have purchased the E8400 cpu to use with my p965 platinum mobo. I have upgraded the bios to the latest one. I have checked that all other equipment are working properly. My problem is that when i start the computer, it shows the boot up screen but freezes there. On the bracket it shows 2 red and 2 green lights. On manual it refers to reading primary and extended memory or something similar (i am at work now so i dont have themanual with me). I have tried changing the memory turning to my old 2x1gb 667mhz corsair ram ( my new are 2x2gb ocz 800mhz ) but no luck.
When i put back my old cpu everything works fine. I have checked everything but no solution. the complete specs are shown below.
MSI P965 Platinum mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400
2x2gb OCZ 800mhz
Thermaltake toughpower 750w sli certified
MSI radeon 4850
HDDS, case and dvdrw are irrevelant.....
At MSI website it says that the E8400 is supported and thats one of the reasons i havent change my mobo. Can you please tell me if it actually works or do i have to change my mobo also.
BTW i have tried to reset the bios but no luck again.

The CPU Support List mentiones the E8400/C0 Stepping as supported [sSpec# is SLAPL]. However, the E0-Stepping/Revision of the E8400 does not appear and will not work on this mainboard. From the symptoms you describe...

Can you please check which revision of the E8400 you have?

MSI P965 Platinum networking issues

Hi there. I'm having a really annoying issue with my dsl connection. It started 2 months ago and I didn't find a solution yet. 4 months ago I've built a new pc with vista ultimate 64bit. 2-3 weeks later on, this strange problem with my internet connection came up. Even thought I was currently connected, I couldn't access the internet at all. In the 'network & sharing centre there were 2 networks: Local Area Connection & Unidentified Network. At the begining, by disabling my connection and enabling it again the problem was resolved. But later on, having this problem again and again, disabling and enabling the connection didn't work. I also switched off the dsl modem but it didn't work either. I even unistalled/reinstalled & updated my ethernet card drivers but with no luck. So the only way to get my connection working was to format and do a fresh installation of vista. I'm suspecting the realtek ethernet. I'm still having this issue and I really can't affort of doing another format. A friend of mine has the same mobo and vista ultimate 64bit but he never had such a problem. Any suggestions?
My computer specs:
Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit
MSI P965 Platinum (ethernet card: realtek)
Intel Core 2 duo E6700
MSI 8800GTX OC Edition
2gb DDR2-800mhz Super Talent
Corsair 620W SLI Ready
adsl modem b-focus

I think this is due to configurations of your modem and your network card.
You can give your friend a trial with your DSL modem and see if the problem exist.

Memoy bug with MSI P965 Platinum?

Hi, im gonna take this step by step to make it easier to read
First, the specs:
Chieftec CTF-620-A12s (620W)
MSI P965 Platinum
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
MSI NX8800GTS
Geil Ultra 2GB PC2-6400 (4-4-4-12)
Creative X-Fi ExtremeMusic
Samsung DVD-burner
I have updated to the newest drivers, and BIOS was 1.2 when I recieved the board.
The problem:
MemTest gives me errors as early as 331MHz FSB, while running 1:1 divider. Which makes the RAM run at 662MHz. Since the RAM is sertified to run at 800MHz 4-4-4-12, im pretty sure that the motherboard is the problem.
I have been able to run MemTest without errors for 1/2 hour with these settings: FSB 334, Divider 1:1, DRAM Volt. 2,2 and NB Volt 1,38.
I think the volt is very high when you compare it to the FSB. I Have been able to run the system at 389MH FSB (3,5GHz) and max volts, but I recieved multiple errors in MemTest imediately. SuperPi runned without errors though, managed to do it in 14 secs :D
The system rarely starts when I use dividers other than 1:1 and 2:3. At low FSB, I can run with 2:5, but the other dividers are impossible to boot with.
The problem is obviousl related to the memory, and i don't think the RAM modules are the problem...
BIOS settings:
Turned of "SpeedStep"
Turned of "On Board Audio"
Turned of "Floppy Disk Controller"
Currently running at:
FSB = 334
RAM = 667MHz (1:1)
DRAM volt = 2,2V
NB Volt = 1,38V
Does anybody have a similar problem they got past or do anyone have some help to give to me?
It would be nice to run stable at 3,2GHz or something like that. I invested in a Zalman CNPS9500AT CPU-cooler, and it keeps the CPU below 50 degrees celcius at all times; idle is about 30 degrees at 3GHz.
The temperatures is gennerally not a problem.
ANY help would be nice, thank you.

Quote from: Bluum on 24-January-07, 20:17:40
It is right that my _Quad-Pumped FSB_ is 1334MHz, but my DDR2 RAM is running at a 1:1 Ratio with FSB, NOT Quad-Pumped FSB. When the RAM runs at 350MHz, the DDR2 speed is 700MHz.
Why du you think PC2-4200 RAM run at 1:1? Because 266x2 = 533MHz, which is the speed PC2-4200 RAM runs at.
The highest stable RAM speed I have runned on is 993MHz DDR2 speed. That was with FSB @ 331MHz and divider 2:3.
I think the RAM is capable of 1GHz, and that it is the motherboard holding me back.
PC2-6400 RAM run at 2:3, which results in this: 800MHz/2*2/3=266MHz.
Using the divider right in the calculation is important: DDR2 speed/2= DDR speed, DDR speed*2/3(divider)=FSB
i beg to differ. the difference between DDR and DDR2 is that the bus clock on ddr2 is double than the one on ddr. so when you have ddr2-800, the memory clock is 200 MHz, but the bus clock is 400MHz. for a ddr-400 the memory clock is 200MHz and the bus clock is 200 MHz. and since it is DDR, this gets doubled. this means that with 200 MHz mem clock on DDR2, the effective speed of the memory is 800MHz, when run at 1:1. you're trying to run the memory at 1:1 with a memory clock of 300+MHz, that means that you're forcing the memory to run in excess of 1.2GHz effective speed.
some reading material for you if you want:

MSI P965 Platinum (MS-7238) E7400 support

Hello,
I have question about compatibility MSI P965 Platinum with new Core 2 Duo E7400 (SLB9Y (R0)). On MSI page is that motherboard supports Yorkfield & Wolfdale processors but E7400 is not in CPU support list. If it is not supported, is there any chance that new bios will be released?
Thanks

Best thing is to ask MSI about that as we are just users ourselves. You can contact MSI here: http://ocss.msi.com.tw/ (Global technical support)

[MSI P965 Platinum] troubles booting

HI,
My config:
MSI P965 platinum
C2D E6400
WD800jb pata
Maxtor sata
GF7900GS
I am having difficulties booting properly from my sata drive. At the moment two drives are connected to my mainboard: sata & pata (and dvdrw by the way)
When i turn on my pc it says: "reboot and select proper boot device". When I press enter the system directly boots normally.
My boot sequence is: dvdrw, sata.
When I change the sequence to boot only from sata, the problem isnt solved.
The only way to solve the problem is to disconnect the pata drive. Then the mainboard wil boot without having to press a key...
Does anybody have a solution?! I want to connect both drives to my mainboard but i dont want to press enter during startup!

When you say you have to press a key during start-up, is that when it lists your P-ata devices??? It has to do that, just press the button...
I'm currently on a S-ATA drive, and I had no trouble at all... The only problems I had, was making it recognize my DVD-drive, as I have it as master, with an P-ATA drive as slave (on the cable)... To make it see both I had to use the jumpers on the back of the drives, and set the HDD to master manually (no cable-select)...
Have you installed Windows on that S-ATA disk?? If not, it might be saying that, because it wants a drive with Windows on it
Oh, and congratulations with the board
Best Regards

P965 Platinum Power Connections

I am building a new system with a P965 Platinum, Core 2 Duo E6700 and MSI NX8800GTS video card. On the board there is power connector, JPWR2, which is an 8 pin connector with 4 of the pins covered with tape. My PS (Antec NEOHE 550) has both a 4 and a 8 pin cable. Why are 4 pins of JPWR2 coverd and should I use the 8 pin cable? Also the JPWR3 connector says it is for the graphics card but the NX8800GTS has a 6 pin connector on the card. Do I need to put power to both JPWR3 and the graphics card?

Quote from: gbjbany on 31-December-06, 00:34:09
I have a related question. The JPWR3 connector is a molex plug. Can i just use one of my molex 4 pin power cables or does it need to be the 4 pin 12v connector with an adaptor ?
I have a geforce 7600gt oc and it doesnt have a power connector, So im not even sure i need JPWR3, i found in a web review that it is only neccesary if running 2 video cards, but that was not confirmed from any other source.
Appreciate the help.
"Can i just use one of my molex 4 pin power cables"
yep, no need any adapters. grab one free from the PSU and connect it.

P965 Platinum - Power LED Doesnt blink on Standby?

Hi -- I have a P965 Platinum board, running Vista Ultimate. I am running 1.5B3 of the BIOS, and when I put the system in standby, the power light doesn't blink or otherwise indicate that the system is in standby.
Can anyone else verify whether or not that is working or not?
Thanks.
Rick

The reply from MSI Tech SUpport was as follows, which I didnt buy because I had an Asus P4T-E in the same case and that blinked the LED for standby --- and I sincerely doubt the header is no good since the LED lights fine when powered up:
MSI Tech. 05/12/2007 Then it is either problem with the LED on the chassis or on the header.

I have tried 4ghz with almost every possible combination of volts, but it passed prime 95 for about 36 hours 1 day, and the next have a random reboot
I also noticed that my psu was making this weird whining noise so i just ordered and installed a pc power and cooling 750w.
To my happyness comp booted up at 4ghz and seemd stable enough for 2 hours. (just searching net and stuff) then boom, comp turns off.
okay so i thought maybe it wasnt stable. tried to reboot but to no avail. all i get is about half a second when my fans try to spin up but then it just cuts off again.
i have tested the usual out of box, 1 stick of mem, clear cmos with power cord removed, removed battery for 10 minutes but nothing. Also did the same with the old psu which was working.
All that happends is it trys to start, eg leds everywhere flicker and i mean flicker there is no way i can see what order. Im refering to the 8 leds down the bottom. the flick on then off.
After trying to start it up once, i wont get another chance to start it. eg i have to remove the power and wait till the power is completly gone from the system b4 i can try again and only have the same thing happen.
Thanks for your help guys

Something may have been damaged during overclocking. What voltages did you work on when you overclocked the system to ~4GHZ? What where your temperatures?

Next, I see that you are using a Beta BIOS, what's the reason behind it?
I suppose the reason is this:

MSI X58 Platinum - power button after hibernate not working

Hi,
I have MSI X58 Platinum board that is having a problem recovering from hibernate state.
When I press the power button, it will turn on for about 2 seconds before shutting off again. Nothing is shown on the screen.
After pressing the power button several times more, it will then power up again and wake up from the hibernation. Everything is back to normal after that.
It used to work fine where single press to the power button is all it takes to wake up.
Has anyone experience this problem? It has no problem going to hibernate state (S3).
Thanks.

1) Motherboard: MSI X58 Platinum
