P35 Platinum/Neo FSB/ram stability OC database

I want to see what people are getting as far as FSB. This really isn't to see how high you can go with your CPU but how much FSB this board can be stable to.
Reason being, I think the CPU to RAM link on this board is not really that great. and I'd like to get a list of what people are getting.
Note: You need to be able to pass Prime95 v25.6 torture test "In-place Large FFT" for at least 4 hours. on all Cores
in-Place Large FFT requires that CPU, RAM, and the CPU-RAM link all be stable.

P35 Platinum and 1066mhz Ram OC

Hi there I just bought 4 x 1GB DDR2 1066mhz just would like to know how to set it to run at that speed can anybody help me out im looking for the easyiest way
Specs:
MSI P35 Platinum bios v1.8
MSI 8800GT 512mb OC
Intel Q9300
4GB 1066mhz Ram DDR2
Zalman 750watt PSU

you have to change the FSR: DRAM Ratio.... Your quad has 333mhz of FSB (if you didn't OC), so... you have to choose between 1:1.5 -> to push the mems to DDR 1000mhz (333 x 1.5 = 500mhz) or 1:1.66 to obtain DDR 1100mhz (333 x 1.66 = 550mhz)...
EDIT: see the especifications of your mems, surely they need 2.1v at least to go at 1000 or 1100mhz

Pls help! I cleared CMOS now I've lost RAID: P35 platinum

Hi all,
Last night I had a problem with my PC not reading a CD. I read on another forum that it may be a problem with my CD drive not being recognised and it recommended pressing the 'clear CMOS' button then rebooting the system.
However, I have now lost RAID. It boots fine on one drive but lists the other as simply another drive. I went back into the BIOS and re-activated RAID, but when I do this the operating system fails to boot and gives me an error message saying:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
<windows root> system32\config\system
I have backed everything up while the machine is good, but would dearly not want to have to re-install everything again!
Is there any way I can recover it to the way it was before?
I did a search a found this thread, not entirely sure if it's the same problem:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=35930.0
Cheers,
Zap
Details of my system:
Mobo: MSI P35 Platinum 1333MHZ FSB, Processor: Intel Q6600 2.4GHZ, 4GB ram, HDD: 2 x 500GB Samsung in RAID (mirrored)
Operating System:XP SP3

Ok guys, here are the further details: (BTW triangle, it's RAID1).
In the BIOS here are some of the settings i've applied:
On chip ATA devices:
PCI IDE busmaster = Enabled
RAID mode = RAID
The boot sequence is set to:
1. CD ROM
2. One of the HDD's (2 are listed as being available)
3. Disabled
Now, it boots OK to the Intel Storage Manager page. If I press CTRL-I to open the configuration utility I get the following details:
RAID 1
ID = 0
Name = Volume 0
Status = Normal
Bootable = Yes
So if I exit, it goes to attempt to boot XP. However before I get any sign of life from XP I get this error message:
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM
You can attempt to repair this file by starting Windows setup using the original setup CD-ROM.
Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.
Now if I set RAID mode = IDE in the BIOS the system will boot normally on one HDD. At the moment I can open explorer and see that the 2 HDDs are listed as Local Disc (C:) and Local Disc (E:)'.
I checked the SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM on both the HDD's and found a difference in the file size between the two- I'm guessing because I'm currently using one disc and ignoring the other.
SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file sizes:
Local Disc (C:) = 40.9MB (41.1MB size on disc)
Local Disc (E:) = 40.6MB (40.8MB size on disc)
So I assume because the two files don't match XP treats them as being corrupt when in RAID 1 mode.
Can I simply copy the SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file from one disc to the other? What about the other items on the disc that don't match considering that other files have changed aside from this one?
Should I attempt to copy the entire C drive to the E drive....?????
Thanks again guys,
Cheers Zap.

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!!!!

Settings (kindly) requested for MSI P35 Platinum & Q6600 @ 3.6GHz/1600MHz fsb

I want to try to get my Q6600 processor up from 3.0 to 3.6 GHz, though I'd appreciate to get a clue to what settings might be the goal. I have little experience with overclocking, but I think 3.6GHz is a realistic goal.
Msi P35 Platinum revision 1.2, bios 1.4
Q6600, been running at 3.0GHz the last 6 months by simlply upping the FSB
4x 2GB ddr2 800MHz Mushkin value ram
Initial settings:
I can get it boot up at 3.6GHz/1600MHz fsb, by upping cpu volt and others but it fails the Prime95 stress test immediately.
multiplier x9
memory auto
cpu V = 1.375 (too low perhaps?) (default=1.275)
NB V = 1.425 (default=1.250)
SB io V= 1.7 (default=1.5)
SB V= 1.05 (default=1.05)
Before trying to tweak incrementally I hehe would like to try some tested values to start from, and hope I get lucky and can go on from there.

Being somewhat in a hurry, and being a newb, I tried getting the Q6600 to work at 3.6Ghz (400/1600MHz fsb, mult x9), but I couldnt make it stable with Prime95.
Lowering it down to 3.4Ghz seem to be really ok, and it has been stable for some time in Vista x64. Seems i can stick with this and mabye try to tweak it a little later.
I still would like to hear from anyone running the MSI P35 Platinum with Q6600 at 3.6 with air cooling, and learn about their voltages.
Msi P35 Platinum, rev 1.2, bios 1.4
Intel Q6600 G0 @ 2.4, oc'ed @ 3.4GHz (been at 3.0GHz the last 6 months) Vid = 1.2750v

DOT control = off
EIST = off
C1E = who knows, I couldnt find any setting for this, even with the hidden one in Cell category
Spread spectrum = off
Memory settings = auto (cpuZ claims it currently runs at 5-5-5-15)
Cpu v = 1.375
Mem v = 1.8
VTT fsb = auto
NB = 1.375
SB i/o = 1.7
SB core = 1.15
Prime95 torture test, core temps, large FFT test (second one listed) = 58-58-63-63 (Vista x64)
Prime95 torture test, core temps, large FFT test (second one listed) = 60-60-65-65 (WinXP32)
Prime95 torture test, core temps, small FFT test (first one listed) = 61-61-67-67 (WinXP32)
Idle temps 42-37-46-44 (Vista x64)
I guess I should lower the cpu voltage to try lower the temperature if this thing stays stable the next 12 hours.

P35 Platinum stuck with 008D error in boot with newly added OCZ Fatal1ty rams

Hi,
I was using 2x1 GB 800 MHZ OCZ vista performance rams without any problem. I just bought 2x1 OCZ Fatal1ty 1066 MHZ rams. In the specification of my P35 Platinum mainboard it tells that it supports 1066 (OC).
I don't want of course to run all my rams at 1066 MHZ. I just want to run all of them at 800 MHZ.
However, when I placed all 4 rams in every combinotion on the slots, computer boots but it stuck after the boot screen and there is "008D" in the rightdown corner.
Interestingly when I just put Fatality rams (2GB) computer doesn't boot! Only 1xvista perf. Mhz 1xFatal1ty or 1xvista perf. Mhz 1xFatal1ty works but stuck at after the boot screen.
I tried to enter 5-5-5-15 values and tried to adjust memory voltage to 2.1 V as told in the new ram's specification but doesn't affect. What is your solution? Since new rams do not work among themselves, are they broken or my board doesn't support them?

If I'm not wrong, your post sounds to me that you are trying to mix the OCZ Vista and OCZ Fatal1ty RAMs on the same board.
This is highly not recommended as both RAMs are very different in most aspects (Speed, latencies, voltage and made).
I would suggest that you clear CMOS and choose which set you'll want to boot the system with and settle with that.

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.
I've seen 600 and above, somethink else than board is holding you back{Could be CPU limit too..}

MSI P35 Platinum keeps crashing

Hello!
I have the following setup:
MSI P35 Platinum w/ 1.6 BIOS
INTEL E6750
CRUCIAL BALLISTIX 2x1GB DDR2 1066
MSI 512MB HD2600XT
PC Power and Cooling PSU 750W Single Rail
WD 80GB SATA HDD w/ OS
SEAGATE 320GB HDD for storage
Since i built this system ive been having several stability issues. Sometimes it will just completely freeze and video will go on standby. Lately whenever i play WOW or COD4 it will just crash the game, the machine is fine but it will quit the game. Ive tried MS memory test and also MEMTEST and both give me no error. Checked HDD for error and there fine. Latest GPU drivers off ATI website. Also when i run CPUZ latencies are wayyy higher than specs. And if i run my mem at 800 it will work fine. I know it may e some settings i have wrong, please help me.
Regards,
Leo Torres

So ill just leave them at 800mhz.
Should i just change the FSB Ratio to lower the RAM to 800MHZ?
Leo,
Use the BIOS default settings.
Your DDR2 modules with 5-5-5-15 at 1.85-1.9V (the default DDR2 voltage on MSI mobos) are running at 800MHz.
And that's because they're DDR2-800 ...
Do not mess up the FSB. INTEL E6750 is a great processor.
You need stability, not troubles!
Quote from: JASen
i have the same problem, but with WINTEC AMPX 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) 5-5-5-15 v2.2
The same situation: you bought a pair of factory-overclocked DDR2-800 memory modules.
cheers

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.

Is P35 Platinum Combo compatible with Windos 8?

I never imagined when I bought Windows 8 that my pc might be too old but looking at the driver supprot page for my P35 Platinum Combo makes me think now that I should not be using Windows 8. My pc has been having problems every since I installed Windows 8 on a new drive. For a while it would often crash/auto restart. Then things were ok for a while. Now, in the past week, my pc is really slow. Simple things like opening file explorer take a very long time. Surprisingly, in safe mode my pc runs faster.
Video Driver is up to date and has been since I installed Win 8 (radeon 13.1)
board drivers up to date
malware/adware/virus scanned
running with only an ssd drive. 80gb free space on a 160gb drive
followed ssd drive tweaks such as indexing off, prefetching off, maintenance off, RAC off, etc...
minimized virtual memory to better use my 8gb ram
Just wondering what others think about running Windows 8 on this motherboard of mine. My specs are:
P35 Platinum Combo (msi.com/product/mb/P35-Platinum-Combo.html)
Intel E8400 (ark.intel.com/products/33910/Intel-Core2-Duo-Processor-E8400-6M-Cache-3_00-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB)
Intel X25-M SATA Solid State Drive - 160 GB, 2.5 inches (ark.intel.com/products/56603/Intel-SSD-X25-M-Series-160GB-2_5in-SATA-3Gbs-50nm-MLC)
Kingston 8gb DDR 2 800
Saphire HD 7850
P.s.
Can't post complete links since this is my first post.

USER-HOSTILE! Hahaha! Hilarious vid I can sympathize with the author. I'm a fairly seasoned user and while I did manage to figure out all the controls, after much googling, I still had to deal with all the crashing and slow downs.
Well I decided not to waste any more time and reverted back to windows 7. All is perfectly functional now and at a nice healthy speed. I think my hardware was just too old for Windows 8 since my friends pc is running fine in Windows 8. Granted... He hates the interface and is now jealouse that I'm back to Windows 7, haha.
Now to create my next catastrophe! Updating my bios. lol. I noticed that the most recent version will provide support for L2 cache which would be nice since it seems my proccessor has that ability.
Thanx so much for your response Bernhard.

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:

Cannot get out of standby - P35 Platinum

Hello everyone,
I recently build myself a new rig, featuring a nice and shiny new P35 Platinum board. Here are the system specs:
MSI P35 Platinum - BIOS version 1.4
OCZ GameXStream SLI/Active 600W
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz overclocked to 2.88 (FSB 320)
2x 1GB 1066Mhz PC-8500 Kingston HyperX RAM (5-5-5-15) no overclock there
2x Seagate Barracuda 320GB in RAID 0
Sapphire Radeon HD2900XT, 512M etc etc
Some IDE NEC DVD+/-RW Drive
Here comes the problem. I put my system on standby, and down it went. I restarted it once, booted into Windows Vista Home Premium, 32bit without a problem. Then I turned it off again and went away for a few hours. I came back, started the machine and... nothing. At least not on the screen: it tells me that it's not receiving a signal. All the fans are spinning, and I hear a normal, single post beeb. I opened the case, and saw led3 was constantly shining. I don't know if this was the case before the problem turned up, I never bothered to look at it. The status leds on the board have shown me varying stuff, I got all greens once, and I believe it booted to windows on that occasion. I also got it green-red-red-green once, but that pattern didn't come back. I tried to clear cmos with the button, system powered down etc etc (which didn't help), and now I'm getting green-green-red-green (searching for a floppy drive), and it's not booting to windows anymore. Which seems logical after clearing cmos, because in standard bios settings, the Intel RAID controller is disabled, so it can't find Windows anymore And now the big question... how on earth can I reset the board so that it doesn't think its standby anymore, without any display support? It seems unlikely there's a defect in the graphics card or the psu doesn't supply enough juice; the rig ran just fine the other day (also on heavy gaming/video processing).
Please help me out, o great MSI forum experts
Juul

It's really strange. On one hand, the status leds indicate the system boots normally, it even booted into Vista once (heard the vista starting sound), but on the other hand, there's NOTHING on the display. Everything seems to work just fine, except for the fact that I'm not seeing anything before the problem arose, I booted several times with the memory installed. I experienced absolutely no problems at all. I also tried to boot with only one stick, didn't solve the problem. But I will try it with a 6400 stick. I just wish I'd never ever put the stupid thing on standby. I'm thinking of an S1 / S3 problem myself. Is it possible the videocard still thinks the entire system is on S3 standby and therefore refuses to output anything to the screen? I didn't adjust any of the settings in the power management section of the bios when I still had visual access to it, by the way.

P35 Platinum won't boot

Hi all.
My specs are :
C2D E6850 3.0Ghz
p35 Platinum Motherboard v1.1 ( Bios Version 1.3 )
Corsair 620W HX V2 Series Modular PSU
Creative S/B Audigy SE 7.1 OEM
Patriot 4GB PC2-6400 C5 Extreme Performance (2x2GB) [PDC24G6400ELK] Latency : 5-5-5-15 [2.0v]
500GB Seagate/Maxtor SATA2 16MB
MSI GeForce 8800GTX 768MB PCI-E OC
NEC Optiarc 18x DVD-RW RAM SATA Black
List of problems :
1)
1 boot. auto restart after 2 seconds after starting to boot
2 boot ( RRGR ) - reboot
3 boot -> message that overclocking failed and fail-safe default settings loaded and I'm able to use bios or all stays just like in the second boot till the end of the times ( untill you turn off the PSU and turn it again -> then go to boot one )
2) When in bios it shows that CPU clock is 1.8Ghz but it should be 3.0Ghz
3) It cant find a HDD but it's plugged into us usual and in bios I can see it but when it starting to boot it can't resolve the HDD.
Any ideas ? Thanks

My config:
MB: P35 platinum ver. 1.2
BIOS: Unknown
PROCESSOR: Intel Quadcore Q6600 G0
RAM: Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 PC800 2x2Gb (total of 4Gb in 2 slots)
PSU: Corsair 620HX (620W)
CASE: Antec SOLO
Noctua NH12F
FANS: 1 x Nexus 120mm fan, 2 x Nexus 92 mm fans
HD: 2 x WD raptor 74Gb
VIDEO: PNY Quadro Fx570
Now I have the same identical problem....
New configuration, assembled by myself.
Plugged only processor and thermal unit, PSU, video, fans.
Connections motherboard-PSU: ATX 24 pin (main power to motherboard), ATX 12V 8 pin (CPU power), ATX 12V 4 pin (PCI express X16 power)
Jumper setting of FSB leaved by default (200. Other values avaiable: 266, 333).
I DID NOT PRESS the CLEAR CMOS BUTTON.
1st PHASE (maybe due to not press the CLEAR CMOS???)
1st boot: a series of autorebooting for a while.
After that a message of wrong overclock settings, but at least i was able to enter on BIOS.
ISSUES:
Under "System information" i noticed a correct identification of CPU model and number BUT under "CPU frequency" a wrong CPU speed (1,80 GHz instead of 2,4) AND under "Usage memory" something like 3Gb instead of my 4Gb.
So i cleared the CMOS by pressing "CLEAR CMOS BUTTON" on the P35.
2nd PHASE
Reboot...
Loaded the BIOS.
Now the Processor frequency is correct.
But when i opened the BIOS "CELL menu" -> "Advance DRAM configuration", and made some changes on DRAM latency (according to the values suggested by my DDR2 manufacturer, Patriot) the BIOS froze up.
Waited for a long while...but at the end I rebooted.
After reboot...PROBLEM WITH MEMORY: the PC just freeze on "Memory Detection Test" (LED sequence: red, red, green, red), so no chance to modify anything (no video, no keyboard, nothing...).
I tried to clear the CMOS again, but nothing.
I tried to unplug the motherboard battery, but nothing.
I tried with putting only one DDR2 module, but nothing.
Right now i can not try another memory module (I hope that tomorrow a friend of mine can borrow me one, so i can make some tests).
BUT FOR THE MOMENT....ANY IDEA???
I'm quite scared....Did I kill my DDR2?????
Or it's an issue with the brand PATRIOT???? (On the forum i read a lot of issues between P35 and memory modules made by Patriot!).
If so, can we hope in a BIOS upgrade that will fix the problem?
HELP ME...

P35 Platinum R-G-R-R (Persistent)

First - the Moan guide stats:
CPU brand, model and speed (eg AMD Athlon64 3000+ 'Venice' core): Intel Core 2 Quad 6600 Kentsfield 2.4 GHz
# Motherboard model (eg K7N2 Delta2 Platinum, NOT just MS-6570!!): MSI P35 Platinum
# Memory brand, type/speed, size, number of sticks (eg 2x Crucial 512mb DDR400): 2 Sticks Crucial 2GB DDR2, 5-3-3, CL4 (also tested using 4 sticks Samsung 512MB 4-4-4 in varous combinations)
# Video card brand, chipset type, memory size (eg Gainward Geforce 6800GS 512mb AGP): BFG nVidia 8800GTX 768MB
# Hard drive(s) brand, size, type, speed (eg 2x Seagate 200gb SATA150) : 1x Seagate 250gb SATA2 7200rpm
# Operating system and version (eg Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition SP2): Windows Vista Ultimate
# Power Supply Unit brand and output in watts and DC output (amps): BFG 650w Split Rail (20A per rail)
New install, I have not tweaked any settings. Basically, when I power on the system, I get the D-LED R'G'R'R - which the manuka says it is stuck on memory. I have tried many different combinations with no luck. I also get no video output. Looking for any advice or help.
Also of note, LED3 is lit red- pressing the BIOS reset button does not clear it. The manual says that this means the system is in a standby state - but not how it got there or how to recover it.
Thanks in advance

That is not necessarely the only correct answer. Your CPU operates at 266 MHz FSB-frequency. That means at least in theory 533 MHz modules should work if the BIOS is able to detect them and if it sets FSB/DRAM ratio to 1:1.
However, try officially supported modules first. If you have a spare 667 MHz standard RAM module or if you can borrow one, use those for testing.
In a worst case scenario, your board came with BIOS v1.3, which seems to have major compatibility issues. With generic 667 Mhz RAM, it is in most cases possible to work around these problems. This may not be the case, I am just providing an alternative explanation to your problem. Try with different RAM first.
Also, the board has two jumpers that allow you to pre-set certain default FSB-clock speeds (200, 266 and 333 MHz). Have a look at your mainboard manual to compare jumper settings.

P35 platinum strange pauses

Hello,
I just bought an 8800gt. The issue I'm facing is one of the weirdest I have seen in my time spent with computers. I can play Crysis non stop, and everything is perfect. No overheating, I can OC the hell out of card (670 / 2000) and no problem crop ups. However as soon as I exit and run another game (or 3d mark) after some time (within first 5 minutes) extreme stutter begins. Game pauses for about 30-45 seconds, but computer doesn't crash, if I hit alt-tab and come back issue resolves immediately but repeats itself in a matter of minutes. Strangest part is the game could be a heavy title such as Crysis or light one such as Baldur's Gate 2, it doesn't matter.
Problem began after upgrading to a 8800gt from x1900xt. These issues happen in clean formatted Windows (both X32 and X64 versions) and definitely hardware related. Tried many drivers etc. I guess it's not the card cause as I said I can run heavy titles for many hours, the problem doesn't rear its head unless I quit and run another game -or same game-.
My full specs:
Axle 8800gt - fan at %70 with RivaTuner
Q6600 at stock (2.4 ghz) (is my PSU enough? Please check PSU specs below)
GEIL 4 gb Ram (4x 1gb) DDR2 800 at 4-4-4-12 (tried taking out sticks, no help here)
MSI P35 Platinum BIOS v1.6 (I have suspicions here - PCI Express compatibility?)
Seagate 400GB SATA & Seagate 300GB SATA
PATA DVD-ROM & DVD Writer
Silverstone Zeus 650W - http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_spec.php?pno=st65zf&area=usa
I use DVI to VGA converter. Tried all driver revisions. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
One more question, can anyone tell me if I should plug 12V motherboard PCI Express power cord, I have tried both (6 pin is connected of course) but does it make any difference when 6 pin cable is connected?

It kinda sounds like a software issue but I'm not sure beacuse you said that this happens even after a fresh install. I does sound like some process doesn't get shutdown properly when you exit out of a game and when you start something else up with that process still running it causes problems.
The only thing I can think to try would see if maybe there is a patch or update to the games or something.
It could be a hardware problem (they can cause some really strange problems sometimes). Don't know where to start though. I would guess the video card or possibly power supply.
For your power supply question you should plug in all three connectors to the board for best stability. The 24 pin & the 8 pin (I think you can use 4 pin here as well) & regular 4 pin molex. And of course the 6 pin to the video card. I think this setup can provide the most power to your system.
