P35 platinum bios beeps

odd one this as from new i had no bios beeps at all from bios 1.1 to 1.5 now updated to 1.6 i suddenly get 1 beep then pause then beep beep and all boots up with no red lights at all system runs fine ..only other thing ive change is my psu from a bog standard 550w to a hiper type r 580w with 2 12v rails outputs.....anybody had this problem 

ok will try and clear cmos ,,but i removed all usb items from mobo (mouse etc) and still got the beeps weird things once xp or vista gets going i cant find any problems all 4 green leds on mbob and windows does not show any problems in device manager
,one other odd ball is that i have 2 256mb usb mem sticks and 1-1gig and 1-4 gig and i created a usb boot disk on 1 usb 256 and also on the 1 meg but i can only get the mobo to boot off the 256 it simply ignores the one meg and just loads xp or vista (pending on which ive booted from 2 seperate hdds) ???

  • P35 Platinum + BIOS issue?

    Hi,
    Today I updated the BIOS for my P35 to 1.3 through Windows. Everything seemed to go OK but as the system rebooted it never came back to life. The D-LEDs indicate "Memory DecetionFail" however the system was working just fine before the flash.
    The ram i'm using is "Corsair XMS2 6400C4".
    Rest of the system is:
    -P35 Platinum
    -E6750
    -Above mentioned ram in 2 x 1GB
    -GF 7900GT
    -Creative X-Fi
    -Antec NeoHE 550W
    Any ideas? Try to find a floppy and reflash back to 1.1?

    Quote from: qyx on 26-August-07, 00:28:14
    Try clearing cmos carefully (with power cord disconnected) as described in the manual.  Then try it with battery removed and letting machine sit for at least 30 minutes before restoring jumper to original position, closing case and reconnecting powercord.  Windows flashing can be quite risky as you just learned.  If cmos clear does not work, you should reflash back to the last bios that worked (see other threads for right way to flash).  Good luck
    Thanks for the tip i tried to clear the CMOS right away but it didn't do anything...i've since read that there are some issues with the 1.3 bios and CL4 ram and i'm going to get some ordinary CL5 DDR2-667 ram tomorrow and will try to boot to see if that does it..
    The reason i did the Windows update thing is that i have no floppy so will have to get me one of those as well tomorrow to make sure that I can reflash to 1.1 if indeed the BIOS is corrupt due to the Windows update.

  • Msi P35 platinum: bios auto-raises NB & SB voltages when fsb over 316

    Why does this happen when I'm overclocking FSB in bios and reaching over 316, NB voltage goes 1.250V->1.450V and SB I/O Power 1.5V->1.8V automatically. Both are in red text after this.
    Of course, I can try to lower these settings back to normal but never tried.. I've just left these raised voltage settings because everything is running fine (now E2140@2816MHz,352FSB). But are these settings safe (NB 1,45V and SB I/O 1,8V) ??
    I know that raising NB voltage is necessary when raising up FSB but SB I/O Power voltage?
    Should I try lower these voltages and see if my computer is still stable?
    I have bios v1.6, mobo msi p35 platinum rev1.1...
    Please help me

    this is probably due to overclock jumper's setting for FSB STRAP(200/266/333).
    With my Neo 2 Fr (pretty similar) about the same happen to me but at 382...then I moved the jumper to the 333 setting (see manual) and no more change in voltage of NB and SB over 382.
    If you do so, be careful on your setting before the change of position of the jumper as it automaticaly add 67 mhz to the FSB and so the system may not start because of too high cpu freq. Be careful also on memory multiplier (before the change set it to 1:1 or calculate the ram freq. (FSB+67 mhz and your memory multiplier)) as the system may not start because of the RAM.
    However even if it not start after 2-3 reboot it start in safe mode(as after OC) and you can change the settings.
    My advice:I think your cpu fsb by default is 200, if so and if you don't plan to go over 382 set the jumper to 266 (you should be ok with voltages until 382mhz of FSB.
    Always remember what said over about the +67 mhz on FSB when you move the jumper!!!!

  • P35 platinum bios memory timings

    hi
    i have a question about the memory timings in the BIOS in the P35 Platinum
    once you changed the value to manual
    all the settings become available to change
    i'm only interested in the first four setting i.e. cas trc trp tras
    i dont know and dont care about the other settings
    but their is no way to turn them on auto
    should i assume that the initial settings they have are taken from the SPD and are therefore safe

    Quote from: hapi.djus on 22-September-07, 03:32:09
    Is the TRC the same as the TRFC?
    not is not the same i'm also looking for the trc option but i couldn't fin it nether
    -Row Cycle Time (tRC).
    Determines the minimum number of clock cycles a memory row takes to
    complete a full cycle, from row activation up to the precharging of
    the active row. For optimal performance, use the lowest value you can,
    according to the tRC = tRAS + tRP formula. For example:
    if your memory module's tRAS is 7 clock cycles and its tRP is 4 clock cycles,
    then the row cycle time or tRC should be 11 clock cycles.
    -Refresh to Activate Delay / Refresh Cycle Time (tRFC).
    Determines the number of clock measured from a Refresh command (REF)
    until the first Activate command (ACT) to the same rank
    if you want all the definitions view this page http://www.tweakers.fr/timings.html
    my memories work at 5-5-5-10-38-6-3-3-3 @866MHz waiting for my others ballistix to lower more the timings

  • P35 Platinum - BIOS 1.C

    Anyone had/seen complaints about not being able to install their OS with BIOS 1.C on a P35 Platinum?
    I've verified it's not the optical media, multiple versions/discs of Windows fail.
    I've verified it's not the optical drive, internal and USB drive fail.
    I want to use AHCI, but have also tried IDE, both SATA control methods fail.
    Error messages are erratic. They happen at different times during the installation. The messages themselves are always different. Sometimes a blue screen, sometimes one or more error popups from the install utility, sometimes it just freezes.

    I drive a Buick.
    Any ideas appreciated.

    Ugh , I forgot to increase the voltage to RAM after updating to BIOS 1.C. Apparently even at relaxed/spec clock speed and timings, it will not run at 1.8v. I increased the voltage to 2.2 and everything was back to normal. I should have deducted from the erratic errors that the RAM was the fault. Such an angry, yet relieved feeling once it finally hit me. 
    Thanks for the help.

  • P35 Platinum bios upgrade

    Hi there
    Did anyone here get an error message saying "Invalid checksum" when upgrading to MSI's latest bios(1.6) for the P35 Platinum. I done the flash thru liveupdate and restarted my PC and it showed me that message then just rebooted again and into windows. Also ive never ran DualCore centre before, i installed it after i flashed the bios and it just gives me error message and doesnt run.
    Man i should have stuck with GigaByte

    Got exactly the same message after upgrading to 1.6 from 1.4 that came with the board.
    Unfortunately I'm not even able to boot up to Windows now !   
    I've switched it off and given up for the night, will try again tomorrow.....

    I read that this parameter depends on the SO type.
    I would like to install Windows XP64 bit. What's the right setting?
    2 - PnP/PCI Configurations -> PCI Latency Timer [32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224, 248] where higher is better
    I use PCI-E device (PNY Quadro Fx570). Are these parameters valid also for PCI-E?
    3 - CELL menu -> Advance DRAM Configuration
    I would like to manually set up the CAS etc.. parameters to the Patriot recommended values: 5-5-5-12 at 2.0V
    These are the first 4 parameters...and the others??? Patriot don't specify anything else...
    And how can I set up the voltage of memory? Under "Memory Voltage" there's "AUTO" set up, and there's no way to change it...if I set up custom memory parameters (CAS, ...) is the DRAM voltage auto adjusted by the motherboard (i.e. 2 VOLT) ?
    4- CELL menu -> Adjust PCIE Frequency [between 100 and 200 MHz]
    These are my GPU specifications:
    PNY Quadro Fx570
    core clock: 460 MHz
    memory clock: 400 (800) MHz
    Memory type: DDR2 SDRAM
    RAMDAC: Dual 400 MHz
    So....wath's the correct value for the PCIE Frequency????

    just wondering cause im outta options here.

    i'm was testing P35 Neo2-FIR (nearly like Platinum) with 1066 memory (A-DATA, Kingston etc.) and it was w/o problems
    well relatively because i needed to setup manually CAS etc. values (SPD autodetect seems to always set wrong CAS (6) etc))
    with 1.4 it seems be bit better in autodetect area too

  • P35 Platinum Bios 1.1 and Quad 6700

    Will the older Bios ver 1.1 support a Q6700 processor? Is anyone actually running a quad core with this bios? I am now running a 6850 and everything is running perfect with the 1.1 bios, overclocked to 3.45Gig.

    Remove any overclocking before flashing! Also, use the USB flashing tool developed here at the Global Forums for the safest method.

  • P35 platinum bios update query

    just updated bios from 1.1 to 1.4 and now lan stays active when pc is shutdown...now under 1.1 the lans only became active once windows was up an running and all lights on router went out on shutdown has anyone else seen this behviour.alos this updated bios removes some of the options is there an f key ican press to get to a advanced bios state

    There are a few reasons I guess.  One of the key is the Wake on LAN. Trying turning this option off in bios to see if your lan light go off on shutdown. But this is very common in most PCs. Give it a shot and let me know how it goes.

  • Which BIOS for Overclocking a P35 Platinum

    I bought the P35 Platinum based on the positive reviews of performance and overclocking ability.  Reading through the forums, it's not clear which is the most stable version (other than 1.0) to get to the performance numbers I have seen.  Also, some reviewers mention versions like P03, VP.0B4 (assume a beta, but 1.4?), etc.  What versions are they referring to?
    I was thinking of moving to 1.1 or 1.6. I know the "if it ain't broke...", but I want to overclock and don't think the 1.0 BIOS will get the results I am looking for:
    P35 Platinum BIOS 1.0
    Q6600 GO
    PC Power and Cooling 750
    8800 GT
    Thermalright 120 Extreme cooling
    4GB Ballistix PC 6400

    No, no no it isn't. You need X38 for PCI-E 2.0. But cards don't even use PCI-E 1.1 bandwidth, nevermind doubling that figure...

  • P35 Platinum won't start up

    Yesterday I flashed the BIOS with the latest official update and computer started normally. Only windows came up with some strange errors. So I wanted to reinstall windows but in the BIOS I couldn't select my Lite-On drive to be first to boot. In fact my BIOS didn't see it at all. So I cleared the CMOS again and went to the Boot Sequence part in the BIOS and now he was there again. I didn't change it for now because I first wanted to set in the Integrated Peripherals -> I/O devices -> RAID Mode to RAID and restart it again. So I did.
    And there there was nothing, no beeps nothing. Nothing on the screen. Lights are burning on the board.
    According to burning LEDs and the the manual the board is "Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting".
    I pressed the Clear CMOS button multiple times, took out the battery, took off the powersupply. -> didn't change anything.
    What else can I do?

  • Problem OC P35 Platinum + 8GB of CL4 memory with Q6600

    Hi all!
    I just lost that 1000 words post from power outage, so bear with me if I'm more direct to the point.
    System:
    P35 Platinum BIOS 1.9B1  (Vcore:1.375V, VTT: 1.30V, NB:1.550V, SB: 1.8V) 417MHz FSB x 8 = 3336MHz
    Q6600 G0 2.4GHz @ 3.336GHz (42*C idle 68*C load)
    OCZ Memory (OCZ2RPR800C44GK x 2 : AKA CL4 HPC Reapers) PC2-6400 @ 800MHz (4-4-4-15) OC @ 960MHz (5-5-5-18) VDimm: 2.2V
    Geforce 8800GT 512 MB DDR3 (680MHz/1800MHz/1050MHz)
    OS: Vista Ultimate x64
    I try to push those memory sticks to 1000MHz.  To do this, 2 ways I know: up FSB to 500MHz with 1:1 ratio  or change ratio to 5:6 + up FSB to 417MHz.  I tried both and here are the results:
    Test the CPU OC = FSB: 417MHz x 8 = 3336MHz & RAM 834MHz (1:1) = 24 hours prime95 stable (small FFT)
    Test the memory = FSB: 417MHz x 7 = 2919MHz & RAM 1000MHz ratio 1:1.2 = 24 hours memtest86+ v2.01 AND 24 hours prime95 stable (blend test)
    Test them together = FSB: 417MHz x 8 = 3336MHz & RAM 1000MHz ratio 1:1.2 = memtest86+ stable (20 hours) but not prime95 stable.  At those settings, SuperPI 32M would finish only 50% of the time (not exact in round)
    I tried upping NB to 1.6V (Afraid to fry it), tried upping VTT FSB (What does that do...) to 1.4V-1.45V : no luck.
    I know that below 1.55V my 8GB setup is unstable (crashed prime blend test at 18 hours...)
    The other option is now trying with higher FSB. All those tests were done with 1.9B1 BIOS.  At 500MHz FSB, the board wouldn't even POST.  I then flashed the BIOS to 1.9B2 with success! I can now POST and boot with 500MHz FSB! I cannot load windows though which leaves me short of my goal. I tried some more conservative speed (470MHz FSB) and succeeded in loading Vista. Had a hard time thought, at that FSB speed, Vista was crawling and CPU and memory benches in Everest were about 50% lower than last stable benches.  Something was wrong.
    I was then wondering ways to boot Vista with 500MHz stable or make my two stable overclocks work together...
    I read a post from someone stating that MSI told him to use performance BIOS P09 because OCing 8GB was easier with that BIOS.  I did so.  I could not boot in Vista (without OC, at default settings) because of nvidia driver (was able to boot in safe mode).  I also read in that thread that BIOS P09 had problems with G92 videocards...  I wish I could read German (or danish, not sure) because (save the thread I mentioned) the only forums talking about performance BIOS are German MSI forums...
    I also read that BIOS after 1.3 are not good for OCing because of bad voltage regulation.  I would flash back to 1.3
    but the Q6600 Kentsfield is not supported before 1.6.
    So I'm asking help at the same time from this board and User mod BIOS, was not sure to which board my thread would belong.
    Thank you for you suggestions and/or advices concerning performance BIOS.
    Jerome
    P.S. Oh yeah! I also set my hardware OC settings jumpers to 333MHz which supposedly increase FSB stability... phew... I thought I would be direct to the point....

    oops, u should have bought better memory, teach u for messing with manufacturers specs. No sympathy here
    Well, it seems that the CS4 settings where exactly the rated speed for the GEIL Ultra Dual Channel modules, it's just that the (100% safe) pre-programmed SPD speeds are slower than the official rated timings. GEIL tells about that with all of their newer products, so timings I entered where not illegal for the modules.

  • P35 Platinum rebooting problem

    Hello,
    I have just registered at MSI Forums, as i have quite strange problem with my PC and i need help :azn:
    My specs:
    Motherboard : MSI P35 Platinum, bios ver1.9
    CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo e6600 coolde with Thermalright Ultra 120a + Zalman 120mm fan
    Memory: Mushkin XP2-6400 2 GB CL4-4-3-10
    VGA : Inno3D 8800gts 512 with Accelero s2 rev2 + 2 Silverstone 90mm fans
    HDD : Seagate 160GB SATA
    Optical : Liteon DVDRW LDW-851S
    PSU : Tagan TG430-U22 (i am running it at 'combined rails' mode, which has 28A rating for the 12v rail-information from the sticker)
    I also have 3 120mm fans mounted in case
    I have Windows XP SP2 installed
    I took attempt to overclock my cpu and memory, and i managed to get 3.4ghz for cpu and 972mhz for memory (486FSB ; CPU Multipliter 7 ; RAM timings 5,5,5,15 ; RAM voltage 2,0v ; CPU voltage 1.4125v ; VTT FSB voltage AUTO ; NB voltage 1.45v ; SB I/O power 1.8v ; SB core power 1.15v), i am able to run Orthos Blend test (stressing cpu and memory) for about 8 hours (so it's pretty stable I think)
    So, let's get to the point:
    I am able to run my PC flawlessly all day long, but when i try to turn it on next day, it keeps rebooting itself for few minutes (it turns for about 10 seconds but the screen stays black, then it turns off and turns on again.....LEDS keep showing red/red/green/red indicating memory problem) and finally boots with 'overclocking failed' information.............i get to the bios, change ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, save settings (or not save..it doesn't matter at all) and then it boots and loads Windows no problem.......... what the heck is wrong?? Is it memory problem? Or maybe PSU? (I was using it in my previous PC)
    Any suggestions ?  :azn:
    Thanks in advance

    Avoid that one, instead go for:
