P35 Platinum Problem with almost everything

Specs:
Power Suppy: enermax liberty 500W
CPU: core2duo E6750
Videocard: GeForce 8800 GTS POV
Memory: Kingston 1GB DDR2 1066
I know about the problems with the memory < BiOS 1.03. I can't boot (windows errorcode 7). I've build my own dr.dos boot cd, but when I type afud408.exe a7345ims.160 the pc doesn't do anything and I have to reboot.
Does anyone has some information how to flash the bios properly? I'm out of ideas now
thx in advantage

Start from the beginning. Are you trying to install Windows on a clean HDD using XP w/SP2? What HDD are you using and what optical drive are you using (IDE or SATA)? What is the exact error message you are getting?

[Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

First post, whoo hooo
So what version of BIOS are u running? I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems. With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you. Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems. Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

Help P35 platinum problems

Hi, I'm new in the forum.
I have bought a p35 platinum about three weeks ago, it is fantastic and I like it very much, but I have some problems with it.
If I list them, could you help me??
My complete configuration is:
mb: msi p35 platinum;
processor: Q6600 (without O.C.);
ram 4x1gb team elite ram 800mhz;
video: ati 2600xt 512mb gddr3;
. At first, the motherload's bios colour was black, but suddenly it became classic blue. Now it's blue yet. Is it normal?
. When I turn on the Pc it a emits "beep"(that should be a sign of bad operation of the AMI bios).
. The bios read 3.25gb of ram, but I've installed 4gb.
. dual core center inform me that the CPU fan is 0, while, it goes on spinning. (it happens often)
. A lot of programs, like Sandra or Everest 2007, read the chipset ICH9 instead of ICH9R.
. Live Update crash when it looks for bios versions.
. After installing the bios 1.3 the start is more slowly, besides there is a screened where I can read the marvel component. unfortunately I can read just this, then I will try to do a screen.
PS:
Despite of I had this problems, I go on loving my magic motherload. I hope you will help me, because I don't know what to do.
My O.s. is Windows vista Ultimate.

3. My O.S. is 32 bit vista ultimate and my O.S. too read 3,2gb of ram but, also when the O.S wasn't istalled on my PC, my platinum p35 read anyway 3,5gb that could be utilized and 4gb installed.
Read here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=111120.0
You need a 64bit operating system to make use of all 4gb of ram.

It is supposed to be blue.

2. The "beep" that my motherboard (that is new, nobody used it) emit is just one and short, one second after the apparition of MSI logo.
It means everything is OK.

P35 Platinum Problems

Hello everyone.
I'm having a very similar problem to inucubuS'. The difference is that I've never overclocked my machine in any way, and it has been running stable for the past year or so with the same specs.
Around 3 months ago it started (very rarely) to hang on the "fake boot" with all fans running at max speed and not POSTing. The solution to each of those cases would be the CMOS clearing and loading of optimized values. After each episode it would run smoothly for many days until it happened again.
Then 3 days ago it started to hang on the fake boot for minutes, sometimes turning on and off for random periods of time, and clearing the CMOS would not solve it. During that time MoBo would show 4 red lights which made me wonder if it was a CPU issue. Strangely enough, each of these episodes were solved by simply letting it turn on/off by itself until it finally started to POST. Now I'm trying to leave my computer turned on at all times, only rebooting by OS.
I'm running Windows XP SP3, P35 platinum, E6750 at stock speeds and cooler, Corsair XMS Twin2X 2GB RAM (set at BIOS for Default speed), 500GB Western Digital HD, eVGA 8800GT @ factory clocks. System is running at mild temperatures, current BIOS version 1.9, Zalman ZM600 PSU.
I'd like any opinions on what I should do to try and fix this, should I try the same thing as incubusS even though I never OCed and am running everything at default/factory settings? I'm kinda scared to actually turn it off to try anything so I'd like to get any input beforehand
Thanks for reading all that and sorry for the long post.

Hey Jack, first of all thanks for the reply.
The modules are Corsair's TWIN2X2048-6400C4DHX, two 1GB sticks set in dual mode according to the P35's manual displacement. Their settings in BIOS are left as the default. I can't remember the voltage right now, but it was set as it was from optimal values, grayed out.
As for the message, it would appear during the first episodes (meaning the ones 3 months ago), saying "previous attempt to OC failed", but the ones I'm having now are actually booting without any BIOS tuning at all, although one of them happened after I reset CMOS from the MoBo switch, requiring another BIOS loading.
What baffles me is that even during the first problems I'd never tried to OC my machine in any way.
I hope any of that helps... I'm actually contemplating trying some BIOS tweaking since I won't have to turn the computer off completely, which is what frightens me.

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.

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

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.

X38 Platinum: Problem with CPU detection

Hi everybody,
I've got a little problem with my newly acquired x38/platinum...
I'm currently assembling a new PC on my own... So far all the component have been plugged-in EXCEPT the memory modules (I haven't purchased them yet).
Despite this complete lack of memory, I try to test the correct boot-up of the system.
And then the following problem occurs: the "lcd post" display hang on "CPU" (before rebooting indefinitely)... Not "DRAM" as expected...
The CPU is a Core 2 Quad, and is correctly powered with a 8-pin/12v connector. The CPU-Fan is powered from the correct on-board pins (cpufan). The speakers are plugged, but no specific "beep" are emitted.
One possible mistake I've made: the CPU-Fan is not fully plugged with the 4 "screws": i only (and hardly) manage to clip 2 of them, I'm afraid of breaking the board if y try too hard with the two others.
Could this problem be caused by the absence of DRAM? Or more likely by the the fact that the Fan is not fully clipped? By the way, is that normal that the CPU Fan is so Hard to plug correctly?
Any comments or idea would be greatly appreciated
Thanks (and sorry for the approximate english)
MH.

mhz42, please provide full system specs. Otherwise it is very hard to help you with your problem. What brand and type of memory are you using? What other components are part of your system configuration?
The mb is a x38 platinum 1333. The proc is a quad core qx8650, 1333fsb. The hd (western digital caviar) and optical drive (lg h66n) are both on sata and plugged. The memory used is 2go Kingston ddr3 1375mhz... (plugged in DIMM 1/2).
Anyway, I frankly doubt that the problem could come from anywhere else than the cpu (considering the post message)...

What PSU are you using?
A seasonic M12-500w... brand new...
Quote from: Jack the Newbie on 23-January-08, 22:03:59
Did you properly plug in ALL power connectors?
The powering should be ok... (the MB, the proc, the cpufan and the graphic card are plugged) The processor seems to be correctly powered, if it was not the case, the post process wouldn't even start (tested)...
Quote from: Aaron Yuri
You could just buy a cheap Pentium 4 and flash it with that.
That's an idea. Or i could directly ship the mb back to msi and thell them to do it themself... After all the spec says cleary "quad core compatible"...
So?
Just to be sure: the "since 1.1" from the compatibility table from MSI, refeers to the bios version right? Not a sort of MB revision or something?

Msi dka platinum problems with hdd discs

Hello.I got the board for a year now and lately im facing problems with the hdd`s.I have 3 new discs installed on but quite often they disappear completely causing windows(vista 64)to freeze.I asume that the sata controller is faulty.The problem seems to get fixed whenever i change the positions of the sata cables but after a while comes back.Does anyone else facing a similar problem?I ll install the latest bios version to see if things gets better.
Thanks

Sava?
did you solve this problem?
Im really sorry for making over a year to answer :bonk:but the problem is still there.I have now two hdds(the third one is not functioning with the other two ones on:worship:.I have checked my hdds one hunded times without finding a single error.I changed the PSU with a 750watt corsair but still no light .Ive learn to live with it.Whenever my pc refuses to boot(the bios doesnt recognize the discs)i open the case and disconnect the hd im using for storage,boot into windows,shut down the pc,reconnect the other one,boot again and voila!!!! Everything works fine for 3 to 5 days in a row until the nightmare returns.I sent the board back to the store for rma but they didnt find anythin wrong.
The only possitive is that i havent had any "freezing" experience inside the windows for a long time now.My pc works flawlessly with one hd so im willing to keep it till summer.

MSI NEO2 Platinum, problem with mouse Genius PS2 optical

Hello,
I have a MSI NEO2 Platinum motherboard with a mouse Genius optical PS2. When the S.O. init the mouse is not detected, I unplug and plug again the PS2 port and the mouse work perfectly ! ... The mouse is working perfectly, I test it in another PC, the problem is the motherboard !
The same situation is on Windows XP Professional and Linux Ubuntu 5.10.
Please help me, thanks for your attention !
Raúl.

Raúl,
The PS2 slot is NOT a hot plug! If you remove and reinstall it while there is power to the mobo you stand a very good chance of destroying the PS2 Slot.
Take Care,

RESOLVED - K8N Neo2 Platinum problem with large Seagate disk

Hi All,
I've been running this system for 4 years and I'm very happy with it. But I've run into a problem:
I'm trying to exchange my 120 GB Seagate Barracuda systemdisk with a 500 GB Barracuda and I can't install XP with SP2.
First I tried to clone the old HD with Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image. The cloning looked fine but after taking the old HD out and moving the new one to P-ATA 1 as Primary Master I get an "error - no operating system found". I also tried a fresh install from CD. After the CD reboots the system I get the same error.
The HD is present in BIOS with the right parameters and all is looking well - but still no go.
I've fiddled around in BIOS (vers. 1.3) with the different settings (LBA, Large, Auto, Csh.) The last 2 options gives the "no operating system" error and the first 2 gives a "disk error" although Seagate says that I should change settings to "LBA".
I only have the new HD in the machine. I also tried fixboot and fixmbr. I can see all the installed files when I put it in as a slave.
So my question is:
Does the K8N Neo2 Platinum have a problem with large hd's as system disk?
Or is this a Seagate or Windows problem ?
Any help is much appreciated!
Mads

Actually that was the first thing I did just to see if the drive worked :-) - except that I had it as master on the second ide cable. It formats like it should and all partitions report "healthy". The only difference is that the new drives c-partition is set as active (can't find a way to change it back) - while the old one is set as system. Could this make a difference ?
Since neither cloning nor a fresh install works I think the problem is something else. Maybe I should try Seatools and see if that makes any difference.
Thank's all for help so far! - Other suggestions ?

Question:
The first time you took the board in did they replace it on the spot or did you have to wait for a few days?
If I may ask where did you purchase the board?
they tested it, bought it online so it took some days for the package to go and return. They also tested the board.
Quote from: Alex.Ethuba on 06-August-09, 02:27:46
When did you buy the board?
Bought it last month, and the board is new I think because I forgot to return the bracket(got one in the replacement) and the box isn't teared like the one I turned in ...

Audigy 2 ZS platinum : problems with DVD-audio di

Hello, collegues,
I just installed new Audigy 2 ZS PL, and found that not working:
. DVD-audio player in "Mediasource Player" - as if I am trying to start the DVD-audio playing concerning Creative instructions ("insert disc and enjoy..."), both across icon
"DVD-audio player". The using DVD-audio disc is original, from the Creative Audigy 2 ZS box(with audio samples), OS Win XP with SP &2, all previous audio hardware was deleted before 2 ZS installation, speakers Inspire T7700. Each time after attempt to load DVD-player I'm forcing to reload PC. Same time, DVD-movies was playing normally (with "Intervideo DVD Platinum" software), but after third attempt to load Creative "DVD-audio player" I had as result the crash of normal DVD-moving playing (only front and central speakers was working), and it repaired only after full deleting audio from system and repeatedly fullfilled Audigy installation). Can somebody explain, what is this - Creative software lags or PC hadware conflict ?
2. From the first time I can't use the "diagnostics" function : after loading of this programm, I see at the end of dialog only "click start" , but "start" in dialog box is absent! Same problem I had also with my previous "Audigy LS".

Few attempts more,nothing new, still not working. Do you know somebody anything about contain of the last creative update -could I hope on it to resolve problems?

Bios 1.9 on P35 Platinum Problems

As i stated, I recently purchased a 8400 cpu and I'm having issues with the bios. No matter what I do I can't get the bios to change my ram settings from 5 4 4 12, I am running 4x1gig of crucial ram. I have tried to change it manually and let the bios due it in auto and it always goes back to this setting. Is there another bios update on the horizon for this issue?

Quote from: Viktor92 on 17-August-08, 07:43:44
It seems that there is another beta bios in msi site (A7345IMS.P09 / 2008-08-06), but why don't you try v1.8 ?. When I had 4 x 1GB I could set the memory at 4-4-4-12 without any problem.
Just downgraded the bios to 1.8 and no change.
