P35 Platinum Corsair C4 Memory problems

Just recieved my brand new P35 Mboard, E6850 CPU, 4Gb Corsair XMS2 6400C4 Ram.  Imagine my horror when the system wouldn't even POST!!!  Took out two ram sticks and eventually got to bios. Changed the date & time and rebooted, would POST. Had to clear the CMOS to get to bios again.  However it will not POST every time.  The board came with v1.3 bios installed.
Is this a familiar problem? Based on all the various thread I have read lots of people have experinced the same.  Should I flash the bios to v1.1, but will that support my E6850?
Or can I try some C5 ram, manually change settings and replace with my new ram running at C5 clock speeds?
Please help!!!!

Read this thread plz https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=110887.0
As it seems is the AUTO setting for the RAM. At least thats the case for the 1.4b3 version but I think its why all bioses from 1.2 and up have problems with ram.
Just set the ram divider manually don't let the AUTO setting.
Hope that helps

    No actually that was going to be my next step but haven't gotten around to it yet, what kind of max fsb should I expect out of this MB.  I have water cooling on everything so heat should not be much of a issue.

  • P35 Platinum and Patriot Memory DDR2 PC6400

    Hello,
    I've tried to adjust RAM Timings, RAM Voltage and RAM frequency manually on my P35 Platinum with BIOS 1.4. I had a reboot loop at CAS 4 so I've tried to put at 1000 MHZ ratio 2:3 after a clear CMOS. It's working.
    Now my Patriot Memory is working at CAS 5 ratio 2:3 2,2V and 1000 MHz.
    Should I carry on my "quest" to CAS 4 or are these settings good enough? I'm quite lost.....What should I have to do?
    Does Patriot Memory owners experienced the same issue? Why can't they be set to CAS 4?
    One more thing: After the Post, the Marvell Bios loads but find no hard disk on adapter 1. With Bios 1.1, there was no problem. Do you have any explanations?
    Thanks

    Hello Spikape,
    please list full system specs and provide more information about the specific model/type of Patriot Memory you are using.

    ~400 MHz is the correct frequency for your modules.  CPU-Z shows real clock speed.  DDR means Double Data Rate (two transactions per clock cycle).  Multiply 399.5 MHz by two in your head and you have your effective DDR(2) rating of 800 MHz.  There is no problem here.

    CL5 is the standard latency for DDR2-800 modules.  It ensures that they are able to operate @JEDEC standard voltage settings @1.8V (+/-0.1V).  The board is supposed to set memory timings to CL5, otherwise your system would not be able to boot at standard voltage.  Check the "SPD" tab in CPU-Z and look for the standard timings that were programmed into the SPD chips of your modules (400 MHz), I am absolutely sure that you won't see 4-4-4-12 @400 MHz @1.8V being part of the SPD tables.
    You have to manually adjust memory timings in BIOS to 4-4-4-12 AND also increase memory voltage to the value the manufacturer recommends for CL4/DDR2-800 MHz.  The voltage is usually 2.0-2.2V depending on the brand and type of RAM in use.

  • P35 Platinum Combo Turbo Memory Stick

    Alright, I've had this board for over a year and a half now, but just recently upgraded CPU's from a Pentium D 930 to a core 2 Quad Q9650.
    Here's my dilemma. When I took everything apart, cleaned it with compressed air and put it back together with the new CPU, I noticed I was missing one of the "turbo memory sticks" that comes only with this mobo (as far as I know). I tried looking for it, but it turns out that my roommate chucked it in the garbage (douche).
    Since this tragedy I have been searching different websites, looking to see if it's even possible to pick one up by itself, and have had no luck. I'm stuck using 2gigs of ram until I can find a replacement.
    Any suggestions?
    PS. Here's a pic of the stick I'm talkin' about
    http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:2bEmSCC3D1DRHM:http://www.ixbt.com/mainboard/msi/x48c-platinum/memory-card-installed-sm.jpg

    Contact MSI and see if they can send you one or sell you one. >>How to contact MSI.<<
    You can also look on Ebay to see if you can find one.

    This is a User-to-user Forum. You will find no MSI employees here.
    It's really a shame, because the domain is from MSI, the forum use official MSI brand, the host is payed by MSI, so any moderator here is representing indirectly the company and MSI is responsible of all the forum content and his representatives.

    EDIT: Just so you know, MSI don't go for bleeding edge. MSI go for the server and OEM market, where there is more money to be had. Asus, Gigabyte and DFI target the ethusiast market. But as ethusiasts only make up <5% of the market, your opinion won't sway that many.
    Yes, you're right! Like any customer here I'm no one and nobody gives a  about my opnion and my money wasted on a MSI product because the company only gives a  on OEM market!
    Wonderful tought! God bless you soul and from MSI.
    I'll need it because only money it's the important, the company image not. Isn't that right?
    Quote from: AaronYuri on 22-November-07, 03:28:52
    But as for the rest, it's down to your opinion. I recommend all my customers MSI hardware, because you get quality support (this forum) and a fast & friendly RMA service.
    A company is as good as it's support.
    Wonderful support. 
    I imagine if I am a president of a big brazilian PC manufacturer, because the sells of computers in Brazil in that year beats any market in world, and then I see all this bullshit happening from MSI side, then I turn my attention on Gigabyte or Asus (they too act on OEM market and give more attention to your customers).

  • 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:

    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:

  • P35 Platinum and MSI 8600 GT problem

    I have a problem with the computer locking up. It will do it on certain web sites, clicking around in Media player and other programs. I tried everything I could think of. Finally I Got an 8400 video card locally and everything is fine. My question is, since the 8600 GT gets all of it's power from the PCIE slot could it be a voltage problem? If so, I see no way of increasing the PCIE voltage in the bios for this MB.
    Any ideas before I send this card back?

    It locked up with default bios settings and no overclocking. I didn't overclock the video card at all. I tried everything. Since I put in a temporary 8400GTS I have the processor overclocked to 3.3gig and everything is fine. Could the 8400 need less power than the 8600GT and if so is there a way to increase the voltage on the 16X PCIE slot? This is a MSI MB and MSI Video card so I would expect them to work together.

  • Need Help with Memory OC to 1066 on P35 Platinum Combo

    Hi,
    I've been trying to get my Corsair Dominator memory to 1066, but everytime I change settings, the system will not post. So far I've:
    - Disabled EIST & DOT
    - Disabled 'Configure DRAM Timing by SPD' and set values to 5-5-5-15 (left all others as is)
    - Processor reports 333x9
    - Set ratio to 1:1.6.7 bringing adjusted timings to 1109. I also have 1:1.2 for 1332 & 1:1.50 for 999
    - Memory voltage set to 2.1
    Not sure where to go from here as other MS reported here seem to have different settings than the P35 Platinum Combo.
    Specs are:
    - Intel E8400 3.0GHz Dual Core (45nm)
    - MSI P35 Platinum Combo
    - Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4
    - Xigmatek NRP-MC651 650W Modular PSU

    I have a problem to get my 4 ram sticks to work. a1 and a2 works but soon as i put another ram in to motherboard example to b1 or b2 it wont post anything on the screen. I know that my 4 rams works ok and i dont have any problem with them. I have also tryied to turn up the dimm voltage but with out luck. Please help me!
    CPU = Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz (bios 1.3)
    Motherboard = MSI P35 NEO-FI, P35, Socket-775, DDR2,
    Memory= 4 * Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 2048MB, 256Meg x 64, CL5, 667MHz, 240-pin
    Grafic card = Gainward GeForce 8400GS 256MB DDR2, PCI-Express, DVI/Tv-Out, SilentFX

    I'm not sure if the board can directly support 8GB instantly, which may also explain that it can run 4GB without a hitch.

  • Right Memory of a P35 Platinum

    Ok just bought a P35 Platinum board, to replace my old board that I was having problems with. My processor is a Intel C2D E6400 2.13 Ghz L2 2MB. I have just bought OCZ 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500  Dual Channel memory. Is this ok? Or have i Messed up? Also what tweaks will I have to make to get this mem working to its full potential??
    Thanks

    A few questions regarding your current setup:
    1) How are your system temperatures (CPU core temps, GPU temps, system temp etc).  Use SpeedFan/Everest/Core Temp to monitor your system temperatures.
    2) Is DOT disabled in BIOS?  If not, please disable DOT immediately and see if there is any change in system behaviour.
    3) Is MSI Dual Core Center installed/running when this happens?  If yes, uninstall that tool for further tests.
    4)
    Try to loosen RAM performance settings for testing:
    - reduce memory freqency to 667 MHz in BIOS
    - manually set RAM timings to 5-5-5-18 in BIOS
    - set memory voltage to 1.9/1.95/2V for testing
    5) Have you installed the Vista Patch for more than 3Gb of RAM?
    1) CPU: 31C 34C 31C 31C; GPU: 60C; System: 45C (speedfan). Here in Panama ambient temp is somewhere between 25-31C
    2)Yes DOT is disabled all time
    3)I never installed dual core center
    4)Currently is running @800
    5)I downloaded the patch and it says that doesn't apply to my system (Vista 64bit)
    I found that when disabling the x-fi, the system runs OK. Is there any issues with that x-fi or 64bit driver? I ask because previously I was running vista 32bit with that same soundcard and everything was OK.
    Thanks for the replies!
