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?

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 ver 1.5

Hi !
I have updated my bios to 1.5 from 1.0 and the reason for doing this is i had alot of problems with my raid 0 setup.
Now to the problem I am able to boot my pc and get into the bios i even get windows up and running, but my pc hangs for about 3 mins trying to interlize the marvell controller.
Can anyone give me a sugguestion on how to fix this problem.

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.....

P35 VGA/BIOS issues (with new GTX275 gfx)

I have a P35 (7345 FIR) mobo running an E8400 and 4gb 800 MHz RAM all at stock with a 750W continuous (Strider) PSU & Vista 64 home premium. All work fine with my original 9600 GT gfx card.
Then I tried to install a Palit GTX275 card - worked fine in 2D but anything demanding '3D' graphics (any game or video stability test) caused immediate black screen death & re-boot. Multiple attempts to use Palit & Nvidia drivers failed to sort this - even resorted to clearing CMOS but no joy. Card tested elsewhere works OK - so I'm now going to try updating the BIOS (currently V1.10) - and having had no luck with liveupdate 3 will be attempting to USB flash it this weekend.
Anyone got any bright ideas or know of any issues that might explain this?
cheers

Update time! - Svet was right - it is the Strider PSU causing the problem. I bodged an old 300W PSU with adaptors and everything worked - so why the Strider is tripping out, I have no idea - still can't find any guidance on what to do with the pair of pots. which supposedly control protection sensitivity - further twiddling did not help.
Get rid of that 300W PSU as well [don't use it as solution], go for decent one as Henry suggested.

P6N SLI Platinum BIOS issue...

So I purchased an e8400 processor after the 1.6 BIOS update came out for my P6N SLI Platinum, got it yesterday. I put the processor in and it didn't work . I turned to Google to have the internet fix the issue, and it seems if I adjust some options in my BIOS, it may make the e8400 work. Two of the things it said to change were EIST and C1E. I went into my BIOS, and tried hitting F4 in the CPU menu to get C1E to show up, but it won't. The EIST option is no where to be found either...
Anyone else running into the same issue, or got a e8400 to work after changing stuff in the BIOS?
Thanks a lot!
EDIT: Forgot to post my system specs
Mobo: P6N SLI Platinum
CPU: Intel Pentium D 930
RAM 2GB (1GB x2) Patriot DDR 667 (PC 5300)
GPU: eVGA nVidia GeForce 8800GT
PSU: Thermaltake 500W

I used that bios, but on my regular p6n sli and got it to work. here is my topic on it
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=115998.0
Dont clear the bios after you take out the old cpu or it wont work
I have been tinkering with it all day just to see what the actual problem is and it doesnt seem that it is the EIST OR C1E. from what I have done it seems that it is a problem with the voltages that keeps it from booting. If you change those with the other cpu in and then save and exit. Dont let it reboot, shut it off before it starts to boot up again and put the e8400 in

P35 Platinum BIOS setup CRITICAL QUESTIONS...

CASE: Antec Solo
THERMAL: Noctua NH12-F
FANS: 1 x Nexus 120mm 2 x Nexus 92mm
DVD
Floppy drive
S/O: Windows XP 64 bit
SOME CRITICAL QUESTIONS ABOUT BIOS SETTINGS:
1 - Advanced BIOS features -> MPS Table Version [1.1 or 1.4]
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????
THANX A LOT.

Just change the first 4 to show 5-5-5-15, the rest are best left alone for stability issues.

Any one ever posted on p35 platinum bios 1.3 with 1066 ram?

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

MSI K8N Neo Platinum ,bios issue or HW

Hi i am using a system like in the signature described (usind adata instead of twinmos) im cooling with a prometeia system , and the board ist watercooled.
My CPU is a Newcastle (@2800mhz ) my graphic card is the normal 9700pro (it makes no diff in oc if the card is clocked or not)
Now i got some serious problems , i can´t run high fsb sync ? Why ? i wasn´t able to do this with the twinmos ram , but i read twinmos has some serious problems with the nforce3, so i purchased 2*512 mb adata.
I tried different dimm combinations (1/2 ; 1/3) that didn´t made any difference
I tried different bios (1.2 1.25 1.31 1.1) but this didnt made any difference either (using 131 now)
my pci/agp is fix (always 66,67/33,34 in clockgen so its just perfect)
i don´t use any SATA devices (all disabled in bios)
What is my Problem ? is it only a bios problem , or is there hardware in my sys which makes probs? Could it be an IRQ Problem (got 2 pci cards in slot 3 and4 its an IDE raid controller and a soundcard)
i hope there is any help for me :(

Well this is the second time someone mentions problem with Adata DIMMs:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=55475&sid=
Maybe it's about time to post it here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=51997&sid=
For all I can think of right now, either run the board with a single module or both with 5:6 divider

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.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

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 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.

P35 Platinum - Memory Issue?

Hi All,
I've recently built a new system and am getting memory related BSODs. Both memory sticks test fine with memtest individually and together. Windows is fine with either stick in individually but BSODs when both are in.
I've been discussing this on the Corsair support forum so for more info take a look at http://www.asktheramguy.com/v3/showthread.php?t=63665
Any ideas?
Cheers
Andy

Call me stupid.......... if you wish to
The 600W PSU does not seem, upto the level of spex you have for system.
Quad Core & 8800 would use that on their own....
Seems like the +12V rails are draining the rest of the system for power.......
This would occur, when you are in high activity gaming mode for instance or when system is under load such as running benchmark/test software. BSOD just pops up.
Can you try a slightly less powerful graphics card, as a test?
Will watch thread.

EDIT
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/power_management/ocz_stealthxstream_power_supply
+3.3V(36A), +5V(30A), +12V1(18A), +12V2(18A), +12V3(18A), +12V4(18A)
Thought I would check......... 4x+12V rail........... the is not enough power there. Great system let down by PSU. <sorry>
