Nf750-g55 phenom 2 965 clock speed issue
Hi all new to the forum here,
I seem to have an issue with my clock speed showing up higher than i have it set in the bios according to cpuz. Regardless of what I had the clock speed set at, it keeps appearing as 4ghz (200 x 20) in cpuz when i check it. It is affecting my stability when testing because regardless of the adjustments made in the bios, it still appears to be at 4ghz according to cpuz. If anyone has experience with this and can help me I would appreciate it, thanks.

what changes you made in bios setup?
and what's current bios version installed?
I was originally running at that speed 4 ghz (200 x 20) but only tested for stability. I wanted to re overclock by fooling around with some fsb numbers, also while benchmarking at different intervals. This is when I realized the problem when I downloaded cpuz, as before I was testing only via prime95. Even with small jumps in clock speed in the bios, it was unstable, which i think is attributed to "being stuck at 4ghz" while I can get it stable with 1.48-1.5v. Bios is version 1.2, and any changes made that are not default appears to have the same problem.
I do not understand why my Cpu meter gadget shows the correct speed according to the bios, while cpuz show the 4ghz speed.

MSI NF750-G55 with AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition bundle from NewEgg
I purchased this CPU/Mobo bundle from NewEgg recently and am having a hard time getting anything to work. Here are the components I am using:
MSI NF750-G55 mobo
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU
2x4Gb GSkill F3-10666CL9D-8GBSR DDRIII ram
EVGA GeForce GTX550 Ti SLI ready graphics board
ZUMAX X3 Series ATX 650Watt power supply
NZXT M59 ATX Mid tower case
Now to the problem - no POST
I have double checked the CPU seating and installation and its correct, have tried both on board video as well as the GeForce, and no signal to the monitor. The 4 blue ASP power led's do light up, and the CPU fan spins, but only for a few seconds. Then it shuts off, then restarts, and keeps cycling like this. Have tried with no memory installed, same issue. I have seen several entries on forums for no POST on this mobo. Can anyone help me here? Am I looking at a bad mobo or what? Currently have it out of the case on a non conductive surface.3th time:

Will the NF750-G55 boards get a new bios update for phenom II X6 ?
I would like to know if MSI will release a new bios for G55-nf750 for phenom II X6
thank you in advanceYes, there could be something important we and you should know. But please, begin a new thread of your own not to confuse the readers.
Tell the support department where you bought your things, that your system is unusable if BIOS is not updated. They should take care of it. - Best to get it right from the beginning. And! they, where you bought the stuff, may even be grateful that you make them aware of the possible issue. -
MSI R9 270X Gaming - different default clock speed + flicker issues
Hello,
Techpowerup has recently published the review of my MSI R9 270X Gaming.
It seems that their sample had a default clock speed of 1120 MHz, while my card defaults to 1080 MHz as you can see from the following screenshots:
Review sample: My card:
If you have any ideas about this, please let me know.
The second problem is the typical flickering that occurs in 2D. I would be grateful if you could help me with that too.
I'm using Catalyst 13.12 and the S/N of my card is 602-V303-03SB1311007834.
Thank you!Thank you!

NF750-G55 Overclocking - Easy OC Switch
Hello, new to the forums.
System Specs:
NF750-G55 mobo 200MHz fsb
Phenom II x4 955 BE Deneb 3.2GHz
8GB Kingston HyperX (2 x 4 2GB DDR3 1600)
Antec 850Watt PSU
MSI Radeon 5750 1GB DDR5
Tuniq Tower 120 Extreme
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Where to start off?
My Phenom II being a Black Edition processor, I was only OC'ing it via the unlocked multiplier. I had it set to x18 which had brought it to 3.6GHz stable at stock voltage. I turned AMD Cool and Quiet off in the BIOS, and set the power settings in the windows control panel to High performance. I had been running this configuration for months with absolutely no issues whatsoever. I had been monitoring the CPU temps.....never went over 120 F during gaming. So, no problems there.
Today I decided to try the Easy OC switch on the motherboard.
I first set the CPU clock multiplier back to x16 (3.2GHz) via BIOS. Turned AMD Cool and Quiet back on, and set the power settings in the control panel back to Balanced. Rebooted the PC, everything was back to factory defaults.
Next, I powered down the system, pulled the cord from the PSU, then switched both Easy OC switches to the down position in order to gain the extra 20% fsb speed (brought it up to 240MHz). Plugged the PSU power cable back in, turned on the system and went straight into BIOS to see if there was any change. Success, the fsb was now showing at 240MHz, CPU showed 3840 MHz, RAM showed 1604MHz. Everything looked as it should in my opinion.
When I booted up the system, I got a BSOD. Next boot try only gave me two options:
Boot with system repair (recommended)
Boot system normally
I chose system repair and this is the message I got:
STOP: c0000221 Unkown Hard Error
I tried another normal reboot, BSOD. Then I tried another reboot with system repair and got this error message:
STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error} The initial session process or system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x00000000 (0xc0000221 0x001003f0). The system has been shut down.
I turned system power off. Put both switches back to the up position and booted the system. The system booted successfully.
Does anybody know what those error messages mean? I assume they are memory addresses.
Does anybody have any clue as to why this error occurred, or what I may have done wrong in the process?
Was I supposed to adjust any voltages?
Should I have tried to only switch one switch at a time, ie first 10%, then 15%, then 20%?
Any input or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanksdont know if this helps but I found on my NF980-G65 (with the switch over clocking feature) that in order for it to be stable when used you need to do a handful of things in the BIOS before clicking the switch again this in on my board.
1. make sure your ram can handle the over clocked freq. thats pretty important.
2. I turn off cpu power phase control and led control in green menu.
3. in cell menu I turn off quite N cool and amd turbo core technology. 3. I then restart step back into BIOS and make sure all of the settings in step 1 and 2 are infact off, then I power down system. Unplug power cord and then flip the switches.
4. plug cord back in power up step into bios and then change the cpu voltage to 1.39-1.42 resectively and dram voltage to 1.55v. NB voltage is pretty good on my board for self regulation. ran a 3 hour prime95 test with no BSD. however I did see of course a increase of heat to both cpu and system temps CPU was around 53C under 100% load and system was at 38C. which are still within the normal operating ranges.
I however did not like the increase of heat as I run hours upon hours of gaming good time so I turned off the switches...... or did I?? Well it seems that onec you hit the switches the only way for the system to go back to factory FSB is to shut down and unplug power cord and clear the cmos. what can I say my board is like a child it doesnt always like to listen to commands so you have to spank them lol i.e. clear that cmos. Hope this helps (Also does sound like your memory does not like the high clock speeds, whenever you over clock including factory switches you run the risk of damage to your componets).

I pulled one of the OC switches down to overclock by 10% and it work fine and my phenon 955 went from 3.2 to 3.5, but when i try 15% or 20% by switching the other ones pc would not boot at all untill i cleared my cmos, I'm new to overclocking and i don't know much about it.. i got a HAD 922 case with lots of fans and i got a coolermaster v10 cpu cooler which works great. I really want to oc it up to 4.0ghz. Don't know whats going on or why it wouldn't let.. i remember when i tried doing 15% oc my pc turned on and said something about bootmgr and it being corrupt? nothing worked untill i turned it off and cleared cmos.. I don't know what it is that i need to do. I have a Ultra 750wat psu btw. Any help will be greatly appreciatedYour BSOD'ing during load because your cpu is too hot.... now that you've got 4Ghz to boot..back off the voltage (1 step down at a time) until you stay under 45*C.. If you go too low you wont be stable...if you go too high you'll overheat and crash. These chips don't like anything above 50*C.... hell I start to worry about stability at 45*C. AMD states the max (recommended) is 66*C. I say B.S. and just stay under 50*C to be safe.
Also... you will not be able to do 1800mhz ram w/ a 4Ghz CPU clock.... the IMC just isn't strong enough. You'd be much better off at 1333mhz and tightening up your timings a tad. If your looking for graphics performance... OC your NB and HT clocks. You'll gain 12-16 fps in Vantage upping your NB to 2800mhz and your HT to ~2500mhz while keeping the CPU cool and comfortable at ~3.8Ghz. (this is especially helpful if you ever plan on going SLI) -
Hello all,
First off let me apologize if this is a topic already covered somewhere, I've done some googling around looking for the issue, but I haven't found anything. I also looked through the stickies for forum etiquette, but I didn't see one. If I'm stepping wildly out of line here, I'd appreciate it if someone would point me towards those things.
I built my computer a year ago with these components:
MOBO: NF750-G55
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE, C2 stepping @ 140W power requirement
RAM: 2x2GB Corsair DDR3 @ 1333mhz
HDD: 1.5TB Western Digital Caviar Green
PSU: 500W Ultra
VGA: GeForce GT240 Sparkle/nVidia
(VGA: integrated nVidia GeForce 8200)
DVDRW: 24x HP
OS: Windows 7 pro 32bit
OS: Ubuntu 10.10 32bit
It worked fine for 7 or 8 months, and then it up and died. The motherboard was receiving power, the power button on the mobo was lit, but if you pressed it, it would go out, without an error beep code. The fans would twitch but not spin. If you un-powered the PSU and waited about 10 seconds, the PSU would make a small noise, and you could repeat the process. Things I tried:
Alternate Video card
Alternate PSU
Alternate RAM
Resetting the CMOS
Replacing the CMOS battery
I did not have an alternate CPU to test. I got in contact with MSI tech support, and received an RMA (number RR10040877 if anyone is able to look the results of that up) shipped it in, and in rather excellent time received a new motherboard back from them.
At that point though, the system didn't just work. With everything plugged in, the fans would spin, and I could hear the processor, but I wasn't getting signal to the screen. I spent close to three hours taking components off of the board and putting other components back on to narrow the problem down. Something finally clicked and the system started working as expected though, and I never did figure out what was wrong, and I wasn't about to take it apart and poke around for problems, I needed it for work.
About 3 months after I got the new motherboard installed and working, it died again with exactly the same symptoms. The motherboard was clearly receiving power, but it wouldn't even take the first post steps. The fans would twitch and the motherboard would drop power. If you powered the PSU down for 10 seconds and power it back up, you could repeat the problem, but no amount of switching components out was going to fix the problem. I received a new RMA number and I'm going to ship it back to MSI shortly, but I wanted to ask around and see if anyone else has seen or heard of anything like this, or if I'm doing something blatantly retarded. Since it's exactly the same problem, and since I haven't seen terrible reviews of the board on the internet, it makes me wonder if it was more than just a bad board and something I'm doing wrong with incompatible pieces or settings.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.It is not all Watts you pay for when you get a quality PSU. People - here's looking at you Henry - have bought 750 Watt PSU:s only to find they died, were drained of power, after a very short while or the smallest of hardware upgrades. Longevity and long lasting components, silence, efficiency, good contacts...
Let's rephrase your question! A poor PSU will make boot-up time long and complicated. Capacitors on the motherboard and inside the PSU will be strained - that is what I think you notice when you have to start and restart. That will be even worse in time. Devices will fail to start at all; network and sound cards are usually early victims. Mysterious errors will appear. Due to lack of reliable power the processor will sooner or later stop working, after some time with seemingly random shut-downs during for example gaming. Usually the processor also runs hotter, because of more erraneous signals it will have to ask to be resent. ...And a whole heap of other things.
A few ideas, a little less dear:

'sup crew,
This is my first MSI board and i luv it. It works studly. Everything seems perfect, and functional, but it freezes on post when it detects the PCI card. It sees it, but can't seem to boot past it. Post screen reports the card twice: Once as PCI 1 firewire cntrl, then again as PCI 1 unknown devise. That's right; its a sound card with external firewire enabled base station for pre amping and plugging in musical instruments to record. So it sees it fine.
System specs:
Amd Phenom II x4 965 black edition (unclocked)
4gigs A-DATA 1600+ memory runs 1333 stock, overclocked to 1600 using 1:4 setting in bios.
MSI NF750-G55 motherboard
600 watt PSU LS Ultra ULT-ls6000p
Plextor DVD SATA
Maxtor 250gig HD SATA
O/S winxp pro
The card the system is freezing on is a sound card. A Creative Audigy II Platinum Pro. I have been using this board and the creative forums for the last 3 days to try to fix it, but this is a new motherboard and there is not a lot posted on it yet. The card works great, already double checked it in the ol ladys P4 XP computer. Detects it no problem, and loads it right up.
It will boot if I enable fast booting, but this setting allows the bios to skip a few checks, Like detecting the PCI card,and the result is it is not passing a signal to windows that the PCI card is Present. So, Windows does not detect it. Duh...
I found a related post here on a different msi motherboard where the user was having the same problem with the same sound card. Froze in post when it detected the card, just like mine. He disabled USB devises in the BIOS and his msi board then booted to the o/s and reported his creative Audigy II Platinum Pro. Tried it out of desperation, no go on this board. Post still froze. That's o.k. though, i don't have any plans to trade off my USB functionality to enable a sound card.
Also checked the tension on the mounting screws, but i don't think i'm getting any shorts. Works perfect, long as i enable fast booting. I have tried it in both Win7 32bit, and WinXP pro 32 bit. Same result.
PSU, hadn't thought of that. O.k. I grab a 550 watt PSU out of the ol' ladys computer. Specs: Its in chinese. Label lists a lot of power info but i dont see a model no# to reference that i recognize. Same results, system works great, but freezes when I slow boot. Still freezes when it detects the sound card. When i enable fast booting it shoots me right into windows, no probs, but windows never sees the card that way.
Changed PCI latency in bios from 64, to 32, no difference. Still won't boot.
There is only 1 PCI slot on this board so changing slots is not an option.
Loaded F6 optimal setting,(disabled onboard sound) then fresh installed winxp pro. Same thing. Card still doesent show up in devise manager.
I have no progs installed to create any conflicts. Loaded the motherboard drivers, nothing. Dl all microsoft updates, still nothing. I mean everything works great, but the card is not showing up in devise mangager.
Now, if i can't get this thing to boot without enabling fast booting, it won't detect the sound card, and therefore will not pass that info to windows. Windows will never detect it like this.
Oh yeah, i let creative dance me around for a while too and tried all their solutions, total uninstall all creative, then reboot and extract their exe file with winrar and try to install drivers. That works, but windows still doesent see anything to install the drivers in, lol. Good thinking there creative. Clean boot troubleshooting, tried that. I am sure these solutions work for some, but in this case it is putting the cart before the horse. The bios is not passing the sound card info to windows to detect to begin with, there is nothing showing up in devise manager, so thier solutions are useless for me.
The prob is this motherboard. I have to successfully slow boot to get it to pass the card info to windows before it shows up in devise manager. If i can do that, or even figure a way to do it just once, windows will detect it, and i'll be able to load the drivers. If i have to rig the bios a certain way to accomplish this, I figure you guys will know how.
Please help.Bas,
Still with me, eh? Your a man, i'll give you that. See how popular i've become since I said "Audigy 2". Lol.
Well, you'll be pleased to know that i haven't been idle, and though i don't know the solution, i do believe i know the question now.
And oh yeah, onboard sound is always disabled on my machine. I bought this to create like a dream home studio for me, i'm not a gamer. Realtek can't do digital audio, they don't even have an Asio driver. I did try it in cubase on an earlier XP installation. All i can say is, thank gawd my ears can't hurl, so don't worry. Onboard sound is always disabled.
Let me be a little clearer on the freeze. It is not a freeze at all, its a pause. The moment post detects the Platinum Pro sound card, it stops dead in its tracks. Originally i thought this was a freeze because none of the f-keys or the esc key will work. Those are the keys we normally use to manipulate post. I discovered later that if i waited about 20 seconds then hit pause followed by the "M" key, it would snap out of its coma and continue the post. Also noted is the fact that i can hit cntrl+alt+delete at any time to reboot the system, so not all the keys on the keyboard are nonfunctional when it pauses. It will not continue post without my interference, it will just sit there till hell freezes over, or i reboot, or invoke the pause and m key routine.
It identifys my card as:
PCI Slot-1 Firewire cntlr
PCI Slot-1 Multimedia Devise
PCI Slot-1 Unknown Devise
These three listings are the key to this i believe. Notice that none of them have been assigned an IRQ by the system. This is odd to me as the system seems to assign everything else with IRQ numbers with np. The post screen is full of them.
I've done some further testing. The ol ladys P4 is running an Audigy 2 value sound card. Out it goes, and into mine.
Post lists nothing at all for the card, but it does not pause and continues without issue into windows. Wow. I didn't expect that. I thought sure it would see it. But no. I repeat the boot...nothing. Post doesn't see it at all.
All right, now i'm thinking something is up with this PCI slot. I'm wondering if it works at all, and suspecting not.
So to check it i pull out the Audigy 2 value, and install the D-link DFE-530TX+ Ethernet adapter card.
Boot. Post detects it at once as:
PCI Slot-1 Ethernet Adapter IRQ10
Completes post without issue and into windows. Devise manager loads automatically and loads the cards drivers for me, i don't need to lift a finger. Damn, that was impressive. I luv this thing again.
But this proves the PCI slot works. Arrrrrggghhhhhhh!!!
Now, since hope springs eternal, and i'm wondering if its working now...out goes the network card, and back in goes the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro.
Boot. Post pauses again the moment it detects the card, damn. And this is a bad one, it is a couple of minutes before the pause and m key routine have any effect on it. Once i coax it out of its coma it shows the same detection for the card it did before:
PCI Slot-1 Firewire cntlr
PCI Slot-1 Multimedia Devise
PCI Slot-1 Unknown Devise
Again I point out, they have not been assigned any IRQ's by the system.
Seems like a simple fix, but i cannot find anything in the bios that i recognize as being able to effect the changes. I can't find anything for plug and play. The manual that came in the box isn't giving anything up either, with only the vaugest mentions on the Bios. I'm not one who likes to pull switches and turn knobs just to see what will happen, so i'm stuck.
Bas, is there a way to override the system and force it to assign the missing IRQ's? Can't do it in windows because its not showing up there. I have to do it in the bios. -
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?

And if not can you or anyone make a recommendation(s)? Thanks!

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. -
MSI NF750-G55 connecting the power button? noob question i know
just bought my computer, AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE and MSI NF750-G55 motherboard.
bought a nice cooler master case and i just need a little help setting up the power button and LEDs.
i understand everything in the manual that came with the motherboard completely i just need to know how to identify which cables from my case should be positive or negative? im assuming that if a little arrow is pointing to the connector wire that it's positive?
any help is greatly appreciated, hate to fry my board first day out of the box...For power & reset switches it doesn't matter which way you plug them in as long as you plug them in at the right place. They are simple momentary contact switches and polarity doesn't matter for them. As far as the LED's go if they are plugged into the right place they either light or they will not. If they don't light then simply swap (reverse) the connection and they should work. Just go by what the manual shows for the where part of plugging them in. You are not likely to fry anything.

Ok, shooting in the dark here. I just purchased the MSI NF750-G55 from Newegg along with these components:
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800), sticks in slots 1,2
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor (including fan)
XFX HD-485X-ZNFC Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit DDR3
Antec NEO ECO 400C 400W Continuous Power ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
The system hangs randomly. Sometimes with a BSOD (that disappears too fast to read), sometimes the screen just freezes requiring a hard reboot. Totally random, I can play Witcher II for hours just fine without and incident, or I can mess around with Solitaire and have it freeze 10 minutes in. I cannot find a pattern to it. Nothing in the Windows Event Logs other than the un-expected shutdown messages.
I have not messed around with the BIOS settings or played around with any overclocking functions, everything is stock/default.
I have run Memtest86, did not find nothing or hang the system. (let it run overnight)
Windows 7 64 Professional, latest drivers from MSI and ATI (for the video card).
Any suggestions as to where/how to start to troubleshoot this?Umm isn't "Vengeance" memory for use with icore/Sandybridge systems?
I agree psu but then changed to ram issues when read the memory you're attempting to use with that system.
I'm not seeing any Vengeance on the list for your board, XMS yea but not Vengeance unless I missed it.
Not saying no way it can work but might require tweaking to do so.
Have you run memtest at all?
You really should be using the Corsair Dominator GT memory with your Phenom II see>http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9.html click on the FAQs & Support link on the page.
Might RMA exchange it with newegg or if not there talk to "Ram guy" over at Corsairs support site, he'd surly help you out if you asked I'd think.
You might in the end get the Vengeance to work yea, if its the root cause of the issues you have now, tweaking it some to get it working right, might not be optimal to do so regardless.
Any way I'd run memtest if you haven't, see what that tells ya first. -
Hello All,
Just received a new shipment and the computer is not passing POST, Details as follows...
(oops) AMD Phenom II x6 1090T
MSI NF750-G55 BIOS default no software installed yet...
GSkill 4x4GB DDR3 1333
CoolMax 500w +3.3 30A +12v1 18A +12v2 16A -12v 1A 12v 380W
On Board Video
Kingston 128gb SSD and Sony Sata DVD R/W
Getting post to the Checking vRam and it freezes, no input after that recognized. Computer is new, I have tried with just 1 dimm installed (yes in the correct spot) and also with only the CPU, PSU, and keyboard connected. All fail at that point. Post code 008F reads at that point.
Any additional info will be given at request.Check the BIOS chip, as you need at least BIOS 7578v13 for that CPU.
If the board doesn't have that version, you will need a supported CPU to flash it.
It may also be the memory you use, try 1 el-cheapo stick and see if it posts.
And last, if you PSU is this one:

That piece of junk will not power your system, it's old rubbish. -
Audio pitch / playback speed issue, MacBook Pro 10.4.10
I experienced a very strange audio pitch and speed issue that affected a recording I was making in Ableton Live 6.0.3.
Setup is MacBook Pro 2.16GHz, Mackie Onyx Satellite FW interface for audio, recording straight to internal HD.
I made two multitrack recordings (3-4 tracks each) which played back fine initially within Live. I then rendered the audio to AIFF in order to burn data and audio CDs.
Testing the playback in iTunes, the audio was strangely pitched lower than what we originally recorded. Checking other tracks from my iTunes library, they were playing back FASTER or higher-pitched than normal, and so did audio streamed from MySpace that I was familiar with.
CDs burnt from these AIFFs exhibited the same "lower pitch" / slower playback.
Reopening the Live Set, they were now also playing back lower pitched than what we had heard just minutes beforehand during the recording / mixing.
After I let the computer sleep for a few hours, I came back and checked -- system and internet audio was now playing back at normal speed, but the Live Set was still lower-pitched - the individual WAV files in the set were all pitched lower.
The Live recording prefs were stock standard - set to record 24 bit WAV at 44.1Khz. Since the issue seemed to affect non-Live audio as well, I'm guessing it was something more at the CoreAudio level?
I managed to salvage the session by taking the exported AIFFs into Tracktion 3 and using the pitch change function in the Clip Properties pane. One track was 1.5x off, the other was 1.125x off.
I'm at a complete loss as to why this would happen. It's a first (and hopefully only) occurrence. Has anyone had this happen to them? Could this be some sort of intermittent hardware (clock) glitch? Something to do with 6.0.3 and OS 10.4.10?
I do need to take this MacBook Pro in for servicing - it experienced the "bulging battery" issue and has a partially dead keyboard (the keys near the upper right) - but even with those issues I've not had audio issues like this.In any case, if my Mac had problems, I'd send it in for service....!!!
About your problem, I don't think that it depends on hardware.
I'd check Live configuration and the SR of the audio files: you know, Live has so many features to modify speed and a lot of other parameters that bacomes easy to forget something.
Try recording something with Garage Band so you will be sure if there is a real problem.
cheers

NF750-G55 - BSOD from any enabled network adapter
Hello MSI community,
I am posting this from my phone as my system is BSOD if I enable my network adapter...
I've done multiple troubleshooting restarts disabling and enabling differant components and from I can discern it's the network adapter(s) causing it...
I'm using the built in NVIDIA nForce 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet device. I've updated all system drivers (as far as I can tell) from the Nvidia site. But if this device is enabled I'd get BSOD every 5 mins or so..
I disabled the NForce adapter and tried using a Belkin N Wireless device... But I'm also getting BSOD when that is enabled (which is using a completely different driver).
Has anybody heard of this problem? I'd be happy to upload more system info if needed, as long as my system stays stable long enough to transfer the info. >.<
Info I can provide:
BlueScreenView shows the crash as a UNEXPECTED KERNEL MODE TRAP in address ntosknl.exe+70740
this happens every 5 mins almost exactly.
Mobo: nf750-g55
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4
Memory: 4096mb Corsair DDR3 1333Mhz
The new installation that you did with the new motherboard seems to have a problem.
When you then install the motherboard drivers, try SafeMode.
Have a look in Windows' logs, under Admin..., for errors.
Please mention PSU and Windows version in the list of specs. -
Hello everyone. I am having some issues with my GE620DX laptop. it has the i7 2630QM cpu. It has been working flawlessly for the last few months but recently I noticed sluggish gaming performance as well as abnormaly Low temps.
Upon investigation I found the issue to be my CPU's clock speed being frozen at 800mhz. Regardless of S-Bar setting or windows power profile the speed is 800mhz.
the CPU temps are much lower than normal running about mid 60's while gaming.go to bios setup and load bios defaults, then save and exit and retest
