Hi,
a related problem here with a pair of G.Skill 4GBPQ DDR2-1000. Can't get them to work at rated speed.
DDR2-667 works but 8xxMHz makes problems.
The E6320 runs @ max 2Ghz
MEM-Voltage is 2,1V
SPD-Settings are auto.
Bios: v1.6
PSU: Enermax Liberty 500W
Testing with memtest86+ v1.70
edit: tried uping vtt to 1,35V, mch = 1,425V ... seems to work, still testing

What is the difference between P35 Platinum and P35 Neo2 FIR?

What is the difference between P35 Platinum and P35 Neo2 FIR?
P35 Platinum
P35 Neo2 FIR
BIOS is identical?

The P35 Neo2 is FIR is actually listed as P35 Neo2 FR/FIR. It is what you could call a "modular mainboard". Even if it has the same PCB as the P35 Platinum mainboard, it doesn't necessarily mean, that it will always come with the same features.
If you look at the mainboard manual you will find that the ICH9R-Chipset and Firewire are mentioned as optional features. That means you will be able to purchase versions of this mainboard that will only have an ICH9 chipset and therefore won't support RAID or that don't have a firewire interface.
The abbreviation F,I and R have the following meaning:
F...Gigabit LAN
I... Firewire
R...RAID
In case you decide to buy the P35 Neo2 mainboard, pay close attention to the feature list. Even if the board is listed as FIR by a specific dealer, make sure it really comes with firewire and an ICH9R-chipset. If someone decides to sell the board with the full name that appears on the MSI Support Site (FR/FIR) he might be actually trying to sell a P35 Neo2-F trying to get a better price.

P35 Platinum Problem

Update:
Have not got standard memory yet so tried other options...
Replaced floppy drive with one that I verified was working, but no change so floppy drive is ok. Another possibility ruled out.
Reseated memory, floppy cable, graphics card multiple times, no result.
Changed FSB jumper to 333 setting, no result. Changes back to 200, result!!! Booted to bios config multiple times. Some times I got 4 red leds though, in which case the system stopped and rebooted. Then booted to bios again. I decided to try again to reflash the bios to 1.1 using ctrl-home keys. This time it worked. Verified bios is now v1.1.
Started getting cmos errors though. The bios gave me the option to reset to default values, when booting. I did this, and rebooted. The system stopped working again then, showing two green lights, two red. :(
I reset the FSB jumpers to 333, turn system on/off, switched back to 200. Again, I found I could now boot to bios again.
This is as far as I have got. Havenot been able to boot to OS yet. Any advice appreciated.
Starting to think this is not just a bios issue.... :(

Hardware:
MSI P35 Platinum, P35, Socket-775, DDR2
Crucial DDR2 BallistiX PC8500 2048MB CL5
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
Gainward GeForce 8600GT 256MB GDDR3
2 x Hitachi Deskstar T7K500 500GB

Update:
Before my last post, I had previously flashed the bios back to the original bios which originally worked for me (1.1, the version which came with the machine, got it from the web site), but I ended up with the same problems. Last thing I did that night, was flash the bios to 1.4b... bios, but seeming same problems reproduced.
I was ready to return the motherboard on Saturday but curiosity got to me so I decided to follow Bosskillers advice and try out some other memory. Not that I doubted Bosskiller but this meant I had to bite the bullet and go buy some vanilla memory. Another 128 euros less in my pocket, after replacing my PSU also
Before installing the memory, i decided to try to again boot the PC (using bios 1.4b... beta) with the high perf memory. Didn't work the first couple of times, then it did! OS booted even, first time in a week. Occasionally (30% of boots) I got the four red lights followed on the next boot by an error messages highlighted in red saying the previous overclocking settings prevented the machine from booting, did I want to keep current settings or reset them. In each case, I kept the setting and simply rebooted.
I then noticed I had not switch the FSB jumper to the 266 setting. Not sure if this matters, as I though bios automatically detects / sets the correct FSB setting in any case. This seemed to improve matters a little.
I then changed the memory, and things improved further. I am now able to boot most of the time, only seeing the 4 red lights when I cold boot the machine after it has not been used for a while (this happens 100% of the time). While running, it seems stable. If i do mess about a little, and constantly hit the reset or main power switch on/off every 10 secs, I will occasionally see the four red lights, or 1G1R2G so I avoid this
Will run the memtest tools you suggested. I am not convinced the high perf memory is bad yet. Will try out some more tests on it at a later date though. The cold boot issue sort of suggests a PSU issue to me but I am unsure. In any case, my Antec power PSU is not in yet , but will install when I get it and hope it resolves the residual issues.
Much appreciate all the help from folk, especially Bosskiller. It has been interesting, I have learned quite a bit I believe.

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 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 and WD Hard Disks unrecognised on cold boot

Hi,
I am having a problem with my WD drives on my P35 Platinum motherboard. Simply, if I power down my PC neither drive is recognised when I boot up again. Usually I have to open the PC, reseat the SATA cables (this may be a red herring) and then when restarted the drives are recognised again.
A simple restart from within Windows (warm boot) works every time.
I would have suspected a cabling connection problem, except that I have tried other cables and also the fact that it is both drives every time, rather than one, other or both randomly.
I have seen other people having problems with the spin-up time of WD drives and have disabled quick booting in the BIOS, but this has not helped much. I have also verified that the RAID Mode is set to IDE, as I am not using any RAID features.
The disks themselves are plugged into SATA3 & SATA4, whilst my Pioneer DVD Writer is plugged into SATA5.
I have the latest BIOS installed but cannot remember the version number off the top of the head, my full hardware spec is in my sig and the 160GB drive is my system disk.
Does anyone have any other suggestions that I could try?
Apart from this issue my PC works flawlessly.
Regards,
Charles

Problem installing MSI P35 Platinum & MSI NX8600GT & windows XP

Hi all,
I just bought my MSI P35 platinum mobo and MSI NX8600GT graphics card.
Was trying to install XP on it. During installation, got the following error message :
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this appears again, follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
Technical Information:
*** Stop : 0X0000007E (0XC0000005, 0XF748E0BF, 0XF78DA208, 0XF78D9F08)

Then it just freezes there. Any ideas how I can resolve this ? Please help

P35 Platinum: I have to press the power button multiple times to start

Hello fellow MSI customers,
as written in the subject, I have a problem with starting my PC. When I press the power button, the computer powers on, but there is no output to the screen. In fact, my LCD stays in standby mode. I can hear the fans running, so something is going on. According to the LEDs on the mainboard, it is a memory problem.
Now I turn the computer off, using the power button (have to hold it for a few seconds). When off, I start again and everything runs as it should.
After starting, I ran memtest86 multiple times without any errors. I ran a few games, compiled some programs, installed Vista 64bit, Linux, all without any crashes or hangups. It is just the starting that makes problems. After booting it is very stable.
Seeing that it could be a memory problem, I brought another pair of memory, just to be sure. I couldn't reproduce the problem on that day! Any type of memory I put in (the one before, or the newly brought home) the computer always started on the press of the button. So I thought, OK, maybe they were not seated correctly. But, alas, two days later it is again only starting by pressing the power button three times.
What I tried:
1. Boot using only 1 piece of memory stick
2. Boot using only 1 piece of memory, but different one
3. Use another pair of memory <- worked, but on that day it also worked using my original memory
4. Disconnected everything except graphics card, to make sure it is not a power supply issue (minimized power usage)
5. Tried all of the above with a different processor
6. Used another power supply
Any other ideas?
Here are my specs:
MSI P35 platinum
Core2 Q6600
Nvidia 7900GT
4GB V-Data DDR2 800MHz <--- I think this is the problem, any experiences?
Enermax Liberty 400W
a few other things (HDDs, XFi, DVD-RW)
By the way, how can I boot from an external DVD-RW? It doesn't show in the menu when I press F11 (boot menu).
Thank you for any help, muro
And just to let a bit of steam off:
1. I had major problems with the RAID controller (not MSI fault, rather intel) - I put two disks into a RAID 0, then RAID 1 and they always failed after a few boots - member missing on both disks. I was getting angry, so I put them as normal (non RAID) disks and everything is fine since, although no RAID.
2. Installing anything except windows with an IDE DVD-RW is very hard. It took me ages until I got Ubuntu booting (there are guides on the net, google is your friend), and much longer to get grub (boot loader) working. Long story short - if you have multiple disks, use the Linux disk as the bootable, do NOT put grub on the disk where Vista is installed.
3. I have no idea, how to update the BIOS, if I had to. I'm using 1.1 that came on the board. I use 64bit Vista and Linux, none of which is supported to upgrade the BIOS. Any hints how to do it (if I needed to)?

Hello,
now today is the day I've finally received my replacement board. The good news first - it DOES work! Yepeeee!
Now some more information:
The jmicron controller seems to be missing - a screen with something about "Marvel" is shown before the intel raid screen. However, it is only visible for a fraction of second, so I cannot read it. I think it detects my IDE DVD-RW so I'm quite certain it's the replacement for jmicron. I won't miss it - it took me ages to install Linux with the jmicron controller.
The problem where I had to restart the computer sometimes because it didn't even post (RAM error) is gone. It boots just fine now.
I had an extremely long first post - about a minute, but after that it boots very fast now.
anyway, regarding some questions around here - the manual states MSI recommends using an 350W power supply. My 400W is more than enough. Please note - it is an Enermax, not one bundled with a cheap case. My cheap RAM sticks also work very well now. I did try them on different boards before, so now I know I just had a faulty board.
In the end, I can only say this: This is my 3rd board already and it's the first one that works well. As the hardware changed, I presume there were major issues with this board that lead them to make a new revision. What is strange, though, is that the revision is still 1.1, as were my previous two. I pity everybody who had the same problems as I did, but I can now say that I'm very happy about the board now.
Cheers, muro

P35 platinum ms7345, system won't load OS, stops at msi splash screen

motherboard in question is a p35 platinum ms7345
system won't load the OS, stops at msi splash screen, can't get into bios.
LED code stops at G-R-G-R "Testing Base and Extended Memory"
this is a system that I built over 8 months ago. the only thing I
did was upgrade the cpu to a E8400( from a e6750). I had no previous
problems. but after the upgrade. I first received an error
= attempt to overclock failed = ( cant quote but as I remembered it)
press any button to reset bios.( I have received this message before with the old cpu but with a restart the system went on as normal). After the system restart, it just sits on the splash screen. I never attempted
to overclock the memory. the jb1 & jb2 jumpers are on 1 & 2 pins(same way it
came from newegg). I tried to use different memory( in all of the slots) same outcome.
I unplugged
all other hardware except vid card> same outcome. I even used a different
vid card> same outcome.

any suggestions? I appreciate any help. I hope the board isn't finished
thanks in advance
NFIXIT

There are three possible solutions to solve the situation:
1) Install a processor supported by the current BIOS Version to be able to properly turn on your system and then update the BIOS to the latest Version to be able to use your E8400/E0 (update should be done from DOS only).
2) Ask in a local computer shop or contact your reseller to do the same thing for you.
3) Connect an internal floppy drive and a PS/2 Keyboard and then try to force the system into AMI BIOS Recovery Mode. Instructions:
Quote
Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A7345IMS.1xx to AMIBOOT.ROM
Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.
Even though the AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure is the only chance you have to solve the situation without installing a different processor, it does not work in all cases. However, as it is an easy procedure, it is at least worth a try.

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
- Corsair Dominator 4GB 1066 DDR2 RAM (PC2 8500)
- Samsung 22X DVD Burner
- Lexa Blackline Case
Any advice welcome -- I'm at a loss.

P35 platinum combo will not boot windows after bios update via Live Update

Hi,
I had everything running on windows 7 fine until 2 days ago. I installed Live Update from MSI website. I was about to install driver updates for my motherboard, but the bios update went instead. my pc tried to restart after the bios update installed, but it failed. would not post and would only see black screen.
then i removed one of my memory sticks. it would post, but then windows would not start up. it would get stuck at windows loading screen. i tried to reformat with my windows cd. but during install it would blue screen of death me. i tried multiple times and it would always blue screen of death with different errors. the last one i remember was a message saying i should off turn shadowing and caching.
this all started happening after i attempted bios update via Live Update.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Corsair HX 850W PSU
radeon hd 6870 xfx black edition
p35 platinum. ms7345
intel e 8500
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU
hello
i have some questions about overclocking. i have the e8500 pcu.i am verry happy with that one..
i was you here that recomended it for me,so thanks for that.
but now i would like to get a bit mroe out of it...
i have newer done this kind of job before so bear with mee..
i have read a lot on the internet and have looked in the manual for the motherboard.
but i realy dont understand eny of it.. all the numbers and different things to change in bios.
so my reading up on it realy dindt work..
so i ask you,how to go forward...
thanks all good people. for eny replies.

have now tryed it.
here is my data
adjusted cpu fsb frequency 432
adjustet cpu frequency 4018
fsb/memory ratio auto
adjusted memory frequency 846
cpu v. 1,2750
memory v. 1,90
douse this seems okey?
seems like it works good this far
one thing more!
the cpu voltage that is in the pix is not right as it seems.
as soon as i started turning the fsb frequency , the voltage vent back to defalt.. and i didnt do it..just did it it self.
and the defalt vpu voltage was 1,0000.
so i tryed that voltage before i did eny oc. and the computer locked good. would also say the heat of the cpu that way dropped some..
could meybe the man who had it befor me mess the voltage ?
but now as i sead it looks good so far. with the oc data above.
so what is next to realy get the compoter checked out?
thanks

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.
