MSI X79A GD-45 - Random Locking / Rebooting Issues

Hi,
I recently upgraded my old P45 chipset Q6600 16GB Hyper-V home lab server, with a nice X79A GD-45 Board, with an i3820 & 64GB of Ram.
I've installed the system with Windows 2012, however I can't seem to get it stable.
I have a basic AMD 4550 graphics card in the server, and Dual Port HP360T nic, 2 x LSI Raid Controllers, I have tried removing all of this, but still get the same issues.
I have the latest BIOS updates from the MSI website.
I found that switching the ACPI power settings to C6 in the BIOS improved the stability but it hasn't resolved the problem completely.
I have my memory running @ 1333Mhz, as I've seen some people mention that trying to run 8x8GB @ 1600Mhz can cause problems, but that makes no difference.
I've tried running with 32GB of Ram rather than 64GB but same issues.
The strange thing is the PC doesn't blue screen, it sort of hangs, i.e. Windows 2012 goes un responsive, however I can still move the mouse cursor around, just nothing works, other times it just reboot's itself, and I get unexpected shutdown messages in the event logs.
Do I have a dogdy m/board, or is there some other secret to getting the X79 boards stable, my old Q6600 on intel P45 chipset was like a rock, longest uptime was over 250 days without a reboot..
Thanks,
Andy.

Hi,
Just to let you all know that i think I had two issues in the end, the MSI commander software causing random reboots of Windows 2012, and also an old casecom 500w PSU that was causing the strange partial hangs.
Removing MSI commander software and setting FAN control directly in BIOS stopped the random reboots, however I was still getting problems with partial crashes for example Hyper-V VM's still running but windows desktop would go unresponsive etc.. and also issues with occasional HD corruption.
Since replacing the PSU the partial lockups / crashing have gone away, and I've had no more instances of corruption, server stable now for 80hrs+ without a reboot or weird partial hang :-)
In addition moving to a new 80+ platinum PSU has seen the power draw to run the system drop from 38-40% of the capacity of my UPS down to 17-18% so I've halved the amount of electricity that my server uses when on 24/7, from about 200-250w down to less than 100w, just the saving of approx 2.4Kwh a day (equates to about £0.30 a day) so across the year the PSU will have paid for itself !

  • Msi x79a-gd65 8d BSOD and Ram issue, Code 67

    Hi,
    Specs as follows:
    Mobo: msi x79a-gd65 8d (Bios: latest 4.4)
    CPU: 3960x
    RAM: 2x8GB Corsair dominator platinum 1866MHZ (CMD16GX3M2A1866C10)
    PSU: CM 1000watt
    GPU: EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4GB
    Mobo came back from MSI and they said there were bend pins, they fixed the bent pins. However the mobo still BSODs on stock settings and does not want to boot with 2x8Gb. It only boots with 1 stick.
    I also get the code 67.
    The mobo is only stable when I enable OC genie and run 1 ram module
    Please help, thanks in advance!

    >>Clear CMOS<< and retry. If no help try the second stick in any mem slot and see if it boots in any while other stick is installed too. If not try each stick individually to check if both are working.

  • MSI R9 290X Lightning random BSOD reboots with 2 CARDS

    Hi all. I've looked all over this forum and the web for a solution to my issue but haven't gotten anywhere.
    I recently bought two MSI R9 290X Lightning cards that are MSI refurbished/recertified. Both have the same symptoms in the same known-stable PC (no other upgrades other than the card). Seemingly at random, they will reboot the computer once every one or two days. I could be playing a game or browsing the web when it happens. It doesn't appear to be stress related since I can sometimes play games for hours and also run benchmarks and stress tests with no problems. Also not temp related since the card runs very cool (20s C at idle and no more than 50s C at load). When I inspect the memory dump upon booting back up, it always says WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR with a bugcheck code of 0x124 caused by module ntkrnlmp.exe. Upgraded from an EVGA GTX 660 that was rock solid and never BSODed, ever. And a GTX 560 Ti before that.
    Nothing in my system is overclocked. I am not sure what else to try. Maybe there is a VBIOS update I need? Also, I'm not sure if this is an issue, but my motherboard has an older 760G chipset. If I leave the GPU-Z Sensors tab open, I notice as I click between windows, etc. that the memory clock jumps around between 150 MHz and 1250 MHz. Not sure if that could be an issue.
    Thus far I have tried the following, and none have made a difference:
    - Enabling 'Force constant voltage' in MSI Afterburner 4.0.0
    - Disabling ULPS in MSI Afterburner 4.0.0
    - Setting Power Limit (%) to +50 in MSI Afterburner 4.0.0
    - Setting 'Unofficial overclocking mode' to 'without PowerPlay support' in MSI Afterburner 4.0.0
    - Tried switching between Original and LN2 BIOS on the card
    - Tried Catalyst driver 14.9, 14.11.2 Beta, 14.12
    - Ensured there are two separate PCI-E cables going to the card
    PC specs:
    - Gigabyte GA-78LMT-USB3 mATX motherboard (BIOS version FA)
    - AMD FX-4130 CPU
    - 8GB (2 x 4GB) G.SKILL Sniper DDR3-1600 RAM
    - MSI R9 290X Lightning
    - 3x SATA HDDs
    - Antec EarthWatts 650W PSU
    - Antec Three Hundred case
    - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1

    I had same problems on my both R9 290X lighting just brought 1 month ago :(
    I think it was software(driver) problem, because 2 cards both active for heavy gaming (BF4) is fine without any problems. But if I play online 3D games that does not have CF profiles, and only single card active, my pc will randomly sudden shut down and restart. The card temperature was around 50C.
    Both cards running with Core i7 5960x + Asus x99 R5E + EVGA 1200W P2 PSU.
    I'm sure it was not caused by my other hardwares, because I use GTX 780 before without any problem, also I used DDU in safe mode to uninstall Nvidia drivers before swap cards.
    Sorry to hear you went through the same mess. From what I've read, a lot of people are having this problem with the R9 series (not just the Lightning or even the 290X).
    I definitely haven't ruled out the AMD drivers as the cause. I am using Catalyst 14.12 currently but have also tried 14.11.2beta and 14.9. What happened with your cards, did you get them stable?
    I achieved what looks to be complete stability on both my PCs by bumping the 2D GPU clock to 430 MHz in GPU Tweak, as I mentioned a few posts above. Wish there was a BIOS or driver update that fixed this issue, but oh well. I'd rather not go through the RMA hassle just for MSI to say they test fine or send me replacement cards that do the same thing.

  • MSI X79A-GD65 8D, RevoDrive X2 100GB issue!

    Hi,
    2 days ago i bought my first MSI board ever, (mentioned above) along with a OCZ RevoDrive X2 100GB PCI-E for my OS part.
    As i got windows installed, and up running i got Blue screen of Death on everey Windows Startup - this was fixed by moving the RevoDrive to the PCI-E 3,0 slot furthest away from the CPU (slot 5). Though the card is running VERY slow and unstable... making some HDtune tests is giving me 90-100mb/s (should be around 650-750 mb/s), the RevoDrive is also running very unstable (laggy system)... No problems detected with the new Kingston HyperX SATA SSD, why i suspect the MSI board is not yet compatible with such RevoDrives? (i've read alot of issues with MSI boards and OCZ RevoDrives)
    my Specs:
    BIOS Version V1.3
    CPU: Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme
    Memory: 32GB DDR3 1866mhz Kingston HyperX (8dimms)
    First PCI-E 3.0 slot is filled with a ASUS GTX 580 DirectCU II VGA Adapter.
    Last PCI-E 3.0 slot is filled with the OCZ Revo Drive.
    any BIOS beta fixes out for this trouble?

  • MSI 970A-G45 reboot issues

    Just did an upgrade to my PC.
    Running the following:
    MSI 970A-G45
    Athlon Phenom X4 955 at Stock speeds(used from previous rig)
    Corsair Vengeance 8GB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz at Stock speeds(new)
    XFX Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5(new)
    OCZ 120GB SOLID 3 SERIES SATA III 2.5 Hard Drive
    Sony DVDRW 24x(used from previous rig)
    BFG 550W PSU(used from previous rig)
    Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
    Here's the issue. Sometimes when I restart the PC, it never comes back up. It goes down like normal, then I have no video signal and it just sits there. It's doesn't happen all the time though, which is perplexing. When it does not come back up, I can simply hit the reset button and then it starts to boot up. Apparently it has all the latest BIOS and drivers according to MSI Live update. So at this point I have no idea what to try in order to get this thing to restart normally every time. I guess I shouldn't be too concerned considering I don't reboot a lot...?...?
    P.S. I am not overclocking anything. Processor and RAM are running at stock speeds.
    P.S.S. I do have two USB hard drives hooked up. Could one or both of them be causing the random reboot issue?
    P.S.S.S. Although I mentioned the USB drives, I never had this reboot issue prior to upgrading to this motherboard, video card and ram.
    THANKS!

    Hello,
    Having the same issue with similar hardware.  PC will boot cold and shutdown like it should but restarting most of the time causes the system to hang with no video but the fans run and MB LED's are still lit.  Pressing the reset causes the video to restore and POST and a normal boot.  I tried an old video card to eliminate a video card problem but it does the same thing.  Here is the hardware I'm running, I just built it today.

    I would post CPU-Z stats but I cant figure out how to attach images. help?
    Areamike,
    To adjust the command rate you have to go into the overclock tab and go into advanced DRAM config.  If I can remember right you may have to adjust another setting away from AUTO to be able to access this menu.  (i would be able to tell you for sure but I cant look at BIOS and be on the forum typing at the same time.lol)  After having this problem I read a lot of reviews with people having trouble with this board, hopefully its just a setup problem for us.

    Power supply CMPSU-750AX
    BIOS Version: E7760IMS 1.7
    Hi guys,
    I'm in trouble! I have just assembled my new system with the components listed above. When I plug in the power supply I'm able to start the it. It runs for 1 to 2 minutes and I can call up the BIOS for instance. Everything seems to be fine. But then it crashes and tries to restart and get stuck on the POST code "dE" (I know, such a POST code doesn't exists...) When I turn it off, I'm not able to start again until I unplug the power supply for 10 minutes.
    I have tried to start it with only one DDR3-RAM in DIMM one. I have already cleared the CMOS a couple of times with a jumper. I have removed the CMOS battery for a while, I have tried all 4 RAM's in DIMM 1....
    It would be great if someone has an idea what's going on here. I go insane 
    Thanks,
    Selwy

    dammit! It's the PSU!! How is that possible!?
    I have installed a old 550W Enermax PSU and it worked with all the new components - msi board, PNY Quadro, i73930k...
    What I really don't understand is, why did the PSU worked with my old VGA this afternoon? It had a 6-pin connector too.
    What do you guys think I should do now? Send to PSU back to Corsair and ask for a new one - same version? Or would it be better to get one from another brand? Or is there something I can test or adjust on the PSU before I send it back? Or is it even "broken enough" to send it back? I mean, it works - a little bit
    Once again, thank you very much to all of you for your help!!   

  • Mega 180: MSI DVD Writer DR-16B and other issues...

    I just get hand on a MSI DVD Writer DR-16B and installed it on my Mega PC unfortunatelly whenever i open the tray using the mega pc front panel button it will hang my mega pc badly and i have to reboot.
    However i found a trick: It will not hang if i open the DVD using the Drive button, it is not convenient but at last works...
    Other issue i have with my Mega PC:
    * If i connect my USB bluetooth dongle the mega PC will not boot
    * Sometimes after booting i loose the sound (nvmixer wont load complaining there is no nforce sound chipset on my mega pc !!) and i have to unplug the power for a while to get it back
    * The remote control is crappy unless you can stay 2 meter and aim exactly at the mega pc...anybody found a replacement ??
    * The last one was one of my RAM was corrupted and make my PC crash every days or so and corrupt some of my files on the HD :( :( it took me 3 months to find the problem....
    Do you know if MSI have any plan to fix these issues some days ??? i am getting tired and thinking of replace my Mega PC with some shuttles ....

    Thanks for the advice and here are my reply:
    For DVD i want a 16x DVD writer i already tried several devices out there and this one will be my latest try..i can accomodate to eject with the drive button for now...I was hopping that using a MSI model would make it compatible but this one is not... :(
    For missing sound devices i use the latest nforce drivers and i already found the root cause on this forum, it seems that if you start the PC when the HIFI mode is already open it will lock the sound device in HIFI and the PC mode cannot find it. The solution is to switch off HIFI mode BEFORE going PC mode...well weird
    For USB bluetooth well it would have been nice to leave it all the time because i use it to synch my sony erricson P900 anyway i heard that it is a bios firmware problem so i am back to sync with the phone craddle (USB craddle but this one will not freeze the boot) The USB bluetooth is a PCI GW-BH02U.

  • MSI X79A-GD45 Plus Odd USB problems...

    I'm having some odd issues with my MSI X79A-GD45 Plus... The system overall works well, and other than these little nagging annoyances the machine works.
    I'm looking for any other suggestions you all might have of this issue.
    Every so often when I plug a device into the USB 3.0 ports the devices are not recognized. This ranges from flash drives to USB headsets. Rebooting the machine does not solve this. I have to shut down completely and cold boot to get the ports back up and running. It matters not if I use the front panel ports or the rear. All the while my keyboard and mouse which are in the rear USB 2.0 ports never fail to work.
    I am going to plug the front panel into the USB 2.0 headers on the mainboard just to test and see if I get the same results, I'm thinking that should tell me weather or not the motherboard or the front panel is the culprit.
    That aside any other suggestions would be very much appreciated. 
    One other thing and I am not sure if this is related to my issue... Most of the time when I boot the machine, the text for the POST messages are very large, like real zoomed in. If I go to the BIOS when this happens the BIOS is also way zoomed in and it is very slow/unresponsive. If I want to use the BIOS I have to restart the machine until I get the text normal looking, even then the BIOS seems kind of slow compared to my last MSI board (990FXA-GD80) which had this same type of click BIOS. This phenomena happened both with the BIOS the board came with and with the updated BIOS I installed to fix a sound issue.
    Again not sure if that has anything to do with the USB thing but I wanted to put that here just in case the issues are related.

  • P6N-SLI-FI Random Lock-ups

    Hi,
    New build listed below.  Works great 99% of the time.  The only issue I have is infrequent random lock-ups.  The lock-ups occur either during windows start-up, or randomly while doing some non-stressing task (like web browsing or word processing).  Currently at 2.4GHz, but have had it higher.  I lowered it to 2.4 to see if it made any difference, but it seems about the same.
    Since "lock-up" can mean a lot of different things I will describe it.  The screen freezes totally.  Does not respond to any input (CTR-ALT-DEL) etc.  It often seems to occur in the middle of HDD access, and the HDD light stays on continuously.  Hard reset is required to fix.
    It has not locked up during a game, burning or transcoding a DVD or when running any stress tests.  It happens VERY INFREQUENTLY (I just had my first one in about a week) and is not repeatable.  The only other bit of info I can come up with is that is seems that it usually occurs during HDD access, and the HDD light is stuck on.
    I almost wish I had the problem more often.  If I had this problem regularly I would feel pretty comfortable troubleshooting, but as it is I could spend a lot of time changing things around and "think" I fixed it only to have it come back a week later.
    My thoughts are either a RAM issue or my PSU.  Thoughts?

    Do you have all the necessary options for overclocking disabled, C1E, EIST, all the spread spectrums. Also what are your cpu voltage and NB voltage set at...those two seem to have the most effect on system stability when ocing. Also what are your memory settings... I have your same memory and it refuses to work at anything but its advertised setting (800mhz at 4-4-4-15)

  • Computer randomly locks up when firewire drives are connected?

    Here's what I have:
    - 2011 27" iMac i7
    - 2011 15" MacBook Pro i7
    I recently replaced all of my USB hard drives with Firewire drives, mostly as a speed and simplification measure. Under USB, I had to have a series of hubs which seemed to slow things down pretty dramatically, as well as cause a lot of weird behavior, like randomly ejecting. And, of course, there was the inevitable birds nest of wires. So, since there was no way to add USB ports to the iMac, except for hubs, I decided to move FireWire and daisy chain them.
    This was all connected to a dedicated iMac workstation, the MacBook was never connected to the drives.
    The drives were added a few days before a complete system overhaul was done. The system had been acting funny. We're little things here and there (finder often had to be relaunched after a restart, wifi was not able to automatically connect, etc.), and the system was starting to lock up on a somewhat regular basis. So, Lion was installed fresh and nothing was restored from Time Machine except for a few applications here and there (nothing system related). Once the system was all freshly installed, the little quirks were gone, but the random locking up was not. And it was getting worse.
    So, I did some of the trouble shooting I had done in the past; created a new user, repaired permissions, repaired the disk, etc. It wasn't fixing anything, just getting worse. I finally did an extended Apple Hardware Test and got the error: 4M0T/4/40000003: HDD-1285
    I couldn't find anything on the web about it. So I called AppleCare, they didn't know what it was either. So I took the computer into the Apple Store. They eventually got back to me saying the hard drive and the fan had failed and that they were in the process of fixing it.
    However, in the mean time, I moved the MacBook Pro over to the workstation where the iMac had been. Low and behold, within a few hours, I was seeing exactly the same symptoms I'd seen on the iMac. If the Firewire drives were plugged in, the computer would randomly lock up, and again, not even necessarily when the drives were reading or writing. It appears to be completely random. Sometimes specific applications will lock up, like Mail, VLC or System Preferences. Force quitting the application has no effect. The window won't disappear, even if I attempt to log out or shut the computer down. The screen will change to the grey background, but the window will never go away. It'll just sit there with the pin wheel forever. The only option at this point is to force the system to shut down with the power button.
    This only happens when Firewire is connected.
    I've tried swapping out the cable with no luck, the same problem is true. I have five drives daisy chained like this:
    WD MyBook 2TB --> WD MyBook 2TB --> WD MyBook 2TB --> LaCie d2 Quadra v3 2TB --> LaCie d2 Quadra v3 2TB
    Now, admittedly, I have never daisy chained, so I don't know if I've made some bad mojo for myself by my device order, or by mixing brands or something, or if it's even possible that maybe one of the drives is faulty and it's screwing things up for me. I just don't know, and troubleshooting is challenging becuase I can't make the problem happen, it just happenes whenever it feels like it.
    I have to get this issue resolved. I could switch back to USB, but I'd hate to do that because I spent a substantial amount of money on the drives specifically to avoid using USB
    Insight into this would really be appreciated.

    I am having the exact same problem. Th eone difference is that on occasion, iTunes downloads my playlists yet not the associated songs in the playlist.

  • MSI X79A-GD65 (8) Ram Compatability

    hello gents
    I'm planning for my new rig with the MSI X79A-GD65 (8).
    I found in the memory compatibility guide page 7 that the "G.Skill [RIPJAWSZ] F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL" kit that has 4 dimms as advertised.
    filled the 8 dimms in the test
    does it means i can use two kits of this with no problem???

    Quote from: HU16E
    If you are going to fill all 8 slots, you are better off getting an 8 stick matched and tested kit. Reason, mixing kits even though the same part number may have different chips on them and not be compatible with each other. That particular RAM manufacturer even has some disclaimers about that with some kits.
    That's right.
    http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=427
    3. G.SKILL guarantees module compatibility within this specific Quad Channel kit. Combining with other memory kit or module (even with same part number) is not recommended to avoid any compatibility issue.
    In fact, 8 memory modules is not a good idea at all.
    There will be a huge bandwidth demand and you'll need to raise the voltages and/or to slow them down.
    Otherwise you'll get into stability issues.

  • MSI X79A-GD45 8D - B2 at boot

    Hey,
    Just bought a Asus GTX680 4gb graphic card to replace my gigabyte HD7970 GHz edition card.
    My system works just fine with the HD card but when putting in the GTX680 card it stucks before the bios windows and only shows the message B2.
    However if i wait about a minute it does proceed but then for a second there was a lot of color streaks (looks just wrong) and then it jumped into the start of windows 8 screen where it froze..
    I have seen some threads talking about B2 could refer to cpu problems and such but wouldn't i have had about the same problem with the HD7970 too then as it's quiet equal to the other one?
    Bought the computer in december and got the following setup:
    MSI X79A-GD45 8D
    Intel Core i7 3930K 3.2GHz
    Corsair 32GB (4x8192MB) CL9 1600Mhz
    Corsair SSD Force 3 Series 120GB
    Noctua NH-D14 SE2011
    Corsair AX 750W 80+ Gold Modular
    GK ATI Gigabyte HD7970 Ghz Ed 3GB
    Anyone here that might have any knowledge about this? Would be very grateful for any assistance
    PS. i did see a thread mentioning turning of legacy which helped someone with this problem but did not help in my case.

    My fault, I mean an update for the VGA, not the mainboard. A brand X UEFI/BIOS would in fact kill your mainboard. Using a HDD with an OS on it from another machine is not really a good test as the drivers, chipset, etc. can be completely wrong. X79 default is AHCI Mode, and if the other HDD OS was installed under IDE Mode, that makes sense it wouldn't boot past the log in.
    Just an FYI, but have a look in this section of the forum that is VGA related, and as you can see, there are a lot of issues with GOP VBIOS and graphics cards with Windows 8. MSI files will not work on your VGA though.

    Do you think a work around could be to install the latest bios update and install windows 7 instead? i.e would that hypothetically reset drivers in the bios that might been install with windows 8?
    I've heard horror stories about once Windows 8 is installed with it's embedded key, trying to install Windows 7 is a total disaster. It might work if a switch is made to the other BIOS chip and then installed Windows 7?     Might be worth a try. It would sure maybe answer the question about the GOP VBIOS being needed on that VGA.

  • Lock/powerbutton issues..

    so after a blurry night My lock/power button isnt working  when i try to push it myself but will activate on its own and will not remain turned off because it keeps activating.. it will randomly lock and unlock the screen multiple times and put on the "swipe to power off" screen. when it is turned off the apple sign will light up over and over until it just turns back on. .. is any one familiar with this?  the button itself doesnt appear to be damaged but idk. should i try resetting my phone?

    The fact that everyone is experiencing the same issue suggests that someone created a template with a flaw in it and sent it out to everyone.
    For this behavior, this is the usual suspect:
    The Essbase add-in can save option settings to specific Excel spreadsheets as the named range "EssOptions". In this way, every sheet in a workbook can be set up with unique Essbase option settings.
    Here's the solution:
    1) Make the retrieve sheet the active sheet (if you don't do this, the solution will fail).
    2) Pull down Essbase > Options.
    3) On the Display tab, uncheck "Use Both Member Names and Aliases for row dimensions".
    4) Press "OK".
    Retrieve to test, if it still shifts, you have a different problem. Look for missing dimensions.
    Hope this helps,

  • Cpu speed is clocked down during heavy use (msi x79a-gd45) ?

    Hi
    I overclocked my cpu, intel i7 3930K, 32 gb ram win 7 on msi x79a-gd45
    cpu base clock : 100
    adjust cpu ratio 42
    intel turbo disabled
    dram freq @1600
    cpu core temp 1.290
    hyper thread enabled
    Everything else is auto
    This pc is running at 4.2 in general but when I do render type heavy cpu rendering cpu speed starts going down to 2900, they oscillate betwen 4200 and 2900/2700. I am trying to get it start around 4000. TO me it is kind of pointless that the cpu would clock down when I need them not too. I do not mind if they are clocked down when they are not in use. 
    I have 750 W with corsair hydro h60
    I asked this issue before but I was not able to resolve. I am hoping that someone else might be able to help me out here .
    thanks

    Yes, with a Turbo OC on the Core Ratios (set them all to 44X) in CPU Features sub menu plus the CPU V. and CPU Ratio must both be set to Auto. EIST and C1E enabled. Enhanced Turbo enabled. Overspeed Protection disabled.
    If the mainboard also has the VDroop option, then set it to 100%. Have you tried the CPU Ratio OC at 44X with the CPU V. in Auto already? If it is stable, then no need to try the Turbo method of OC. With CPU V. in Auto, you can enable EIST and C1E and get power saving features to work. CPU V. must be in Auto for the voltage to decrease at low use or idle (33C).
    Hi  PirateDog
    Thanks for your reply, very helpful
    So I now have
    Cpu base 100
    ratio 44
    EIST enabled (intel turbo disabled, enhanced turbo disabled)
    Dram auto
    Cpu Core V auto
    C1E Enabled
    C-State disabled
    Cpu Phase Control Disabled
    VDroop +%100
    This setup seemed to push my average cpu temps by around 7C degrees, so I am around 64C if all are at max. I am not sure if this issue is from another place but worth mentioning. I am not sure if this is still in the good range. On the other hand this setup seems to lower my average idle temps couple degrees.
    Before I was using
    Cpu base 100
    ratio 44 Cpu Core V auto
    Dram 1600
    and everything else was either disabled or set to auto
    Any further recommendations?
    thanks
