P35 Platinum sits at post with Memory error.

Brand new rig, I put it all together, and on post it starts, does its reset after 3 seconds, (all LEDs red before it does the restart, in case thats wrong)
Then tries again, stopping at r-r-g-r, which the manual says is mem error.
I have tried only putting one stick in, and checked all the slots, i also tried the other stick.
No difference whatsoever. I have no video at all at any time, nothing has ever shown.
At the moment i have no other ram to check my ram against, So is there anything else it could be? The PSU seems to work flawlessly as
it's led system is showing correctly. And its not like theres any drain on it. I have reseated the cpu/hs and gfx twice now. No difference.
Any help would be appreciated, life really sucks without a good computer.

Don't Reaper's need about 2.2~2.3v?
If so, there's your answer, board doesn't do 1.8-1.9v+ out the box.
Get some 667/800 1.8v RAM.

  • P45 Platinum won't POST with full memory banks

    I have 4 identical 2GB DDR2-800 modules. If I install 2 the system runs fine. If I install 4 the system will not POST, hangs with the memory code. I am replacing an old P35 Platinum that had exactly the same problem (though I was using 1GB modules with that instead of these 2GB modules). 2 modules fine. It doesn't matter which 2. 4 modules bad. Won't POST. Is there some setting that prevents you from using both banks unless you change it?

    They are PNY Optima. I am running them at the default timings (I think the default is for BIOS to handle it itself with SPD). I probably wasn't clear before but both modules are installed in the same bank (both in orange or both in green). I just can't fill more than one bank and get it to POST. These modules all work fine independently. There is some board/BIOS issue that is not allowing me to use both banks. I had the same exact problem with my P35 Platinum with different modules. I could run one pair, but not two pair.

  • P35 Platinum - will not POST

    Hi all,
    PC has been stable for nearly 2 years now.  Problem started after a clean install of Vista 64-bit, while installing updates (had software problems, so clean install).
    After one set of updates the PC hung while trying to shut down Windows for a restart - sat at the shutting down screen for a couple of hours.
    Eventually I shut down by holding the power button.
    On restart I wanted to enter Safe mode, so was trying to hit F1, but the machine seemed to be stuck on the logo screen - F1 doing nothing, Del doing nothing, tab doing nothing, so I restarted the PC again.
    On reboot this time the fans span up, then immediately machine went into a reboot loop, every 3 seconds or so.
    Checked diagnostic LEDs - first RRRR, then machine rebooted and gave RRGR - memory test, then reboot to RRRR, RRGR, etc.
    I reset CMOS and dumped all but one RAM chip - still no post, blank screen etc, but now the diag LEDs go to RRGG (decompressing BIOS to RAM), and nothing else happens except I get a single beep every 10 seconds or so.
    I've tried changing the single RAM chip, tried in different RAM slots, changed the PSU, but still the same.
    Any advice please?
    Thanks all

    I almost certainly flashed to the latest BIOS when building the PC (September 2007)
    When it September? Do you remember that?  There were some serious issues with memory compatibility in BIOS v1.3 (released in July 2007) which were finally fixed in v1.5 (2007-09-28)).  If you are using v1.3 or v1.4 your current problem may have to do with that memory bug.  The symptoms were precisely the same and it sometimes happened that everything ran perfectly fine until the problem was triggered by a certain event.  The solution was ususally to install a DDR2-667 memory stick and then update the BIOS to the latest version.
    Quote
    At this stage I'm thinking either the CPU or the motherboard is dead...
    Not necessarely.  Try a DDR2-667 memory stick (an old but functional 256MByte stick would be enough) and see if that changes anything.  If it does not, please hook up an internal floppy drive to the board and a PS/2 keyboard and follow this procedure using the latest BIOS Release:

  • Can't get K8N Neo4 Platinum Edition to post with Dual Core 3800 Processor

    I'm doing a sytem build with a K8N neo 4 Platinum board bought second hand off Ebay and can't get the board to post - when I power up all the fans etc come on but there is no beep and the "D" bracket lights stay on solid - 2 amber and 2 red. Having read numerous posts on this forum I've fiddled about with memory in different slots etc and pressed the reset CMOS button but to no avail.
    The problem is (apart from the possibility I've been sold a "duff " board !) that I've no idea what version of BIOS is on the board and of course I can't get into the BIOS to see or update it. I understand a BIOS update may be required for the dual core processor - does this mean that if the board doesn't have the correct BIOS it won't recognize the CPU at all which is why I am getting these symptons? Alternatively could the problem lie elsewhere ? I do have another computer with an AMD single core CPU but at this stage don't really fancy taking out this CPU and trying it in the K8N board.
    Any advice would be appreciated
     

    -Take the motherboard out of case.
    -Unplug all hardwares and power cords, then clear CMOS as the mannual has described.
    - Plug one memory, VGA card and power cords, then start the system and check if it could boot.
    -If it still couldn't boot, check the CPU support tableand make sure your board support this board. After this, I think you should take another single CPU to the board to check if it could boot. If it could, try flash bios to the latest one so that this board could support this CPU.

  • V880 with memory errors

    I have a v880 that is getting many corrected memory errors. Should I be concerned about this? Should I get the memory replaced? What are my options?

    As this is a V880, I would hope that the server is still under a support contract with Sun, in which case yes it would be a good idea to open a support case with them. Even if the dimms do not need replaced they can log the events for you which helps your support on this server in the future, should you get further issues.
    But, back to business. What I would do is to pass the server through maximum diagnostics a few times and check the outputs for reported dimm errors.
    Other than that you might like to give us a little bit more information, such as the following:
    1. The errors from the /var/adm/messages file
    2. The output from prtdiag -v
    3. An indication of if the server is crashing with these errors and if so if any crash dumps are being created.

  • 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))

  • Remote Control crashes randomly with memory error

    During authentication, but most usually during disconnection Remote Control (using Consoleone) will crash with the following error:

    The only time that I've seen the error that's listed below is from running ConsoleOne from a UNC path. Try copying all files and folders from \\servername\SYS\PUBLIC\mgmt\ConsoleOne\1.2 to c:\1.2, and then try running c:\1.2\bin\consoleone.exe. Doing so has fixed this error for me in the past

  • MSI P6N Sli Platinum won't Post with E8500

    Ok, I've been pulling my hair out on this one off and on for a couple of weeks, and I figured I'd finally just post here and hope for some advice.
    I recently bought a C2D E8500 CPU on newegg to replace the E6420 I currently have running in my system.  The motherboard is a P6N SLI Platinum with the v1.7 Bios.  The problem is that whenever I swap the E8500 in for the E6420 the computer powers on, fans start spinning, and then it just sits.  No beeps, no lights, nothing.  When I put the E6420 back in the whole thing boots up just fine.  I've cleared the CMOS two different ways (removing the battery and hitting the CMOS reset button), and nothing seems to help.  I have tested the CPU in another machine, and it works just fine.  The MSI tech support has told me that the problem shouldn't be happening, and has suggested that I RMA the board to them.  I'd rather not be without my computer for 3-4 weeks, so I figured I'd post here and see if anyone had any advice before I pull the whole system apart and send the MB in.
    PSU is a 700W OCZ
    Graphics Card is EVGA 9800GT 512MB

  • (SOLVED) K8N SLI Platinum won't post with Saphire 5750

    Hi everyone. Hope you all had a nice Xmas. 
    This is my first post on the forums.  I’m  from Portugal ,so I might write things that won’t make much sense to you but I´ll try to keep it simple.
    I bought a Sapphire 5750 vapor-X for my kid's PC and I’m afraid I’m yet another one with the “black screen, no post” syndrome. I have tried the card on another system and it works fine.
    What I did:
    Remove old card (6800GT)
    Put new card in
    Reset  CMOS
    Switch PC on… no image on screen.
    The fan on the graphics card starts spinning, the blue lights are ON, but no dice. My HDD LED stays on, my CD+DVD drives LEDs keep flashing  but system  won’t  post, not  even show MSI logo.
    If I remove new card and get my old one back in the PC, it will post first time.
    I have spent Xmas reading forums and haven’t found anything but a lot of ppl with the same problem and no real solution for it.
    Hope you guys can help .

       Warning about the HD5770 well at least on my computer the XFX HD5770 + a PCIe 1.0 slot = doesn't work. Again this was on my computer. I have another computer that it ran on fine using a PCIe 2.0 slot (Asrock 780g board), but my MSI K9A Platinum would not power that card. So you may need to replace your motherboard if it uses a PCIe 1.0 slot.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum - won't post with cards in pci slots

    Hi
    Just completed a new build - with 3800 + Dual processor -  everything works fine but when I plug a PCI card in any PCI slot the computer then refuses to even post.
    I've tried different cards and all of the pci slots but it makes no difference. Could it be a driver problem ? When I remove the card and try again the computer then starts up as normal.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

  • P35 Platinum front panel audio with Antec P180 case?

    God I have a headache after reading all those "front panel audio" threads.  Why can't mb's all use the same freaking pinouts!!!!
    The case doesn't have a HD front panel.
    MB pinouts are:
    1. Mic_L         (MIC Left Channel)
    2. GND
    3. MIC_R        (MIC Right Channel)
    4. PRESENCE#
    5. LINEout_R   (analog port right channel)
    6. MIC_JD       (MIC jack detect)
    7. Front_JD
    8. NC (empty)
    9. LINEout_L    (analog port left channel)
    10. LINEout_JD
    Case Front Panel connector is a preconfigured block with pigtails hanging off in case it doesn't match up.
    1. MIC Signal
    2. MIC Power (MIC BIAS)
    3. Ground
    4. FPOUT-R (front right)
    5. FPOUT-L (front left)
    6. RET-R (rear right)
    7. RET-R (rear left)
    glaring differences are the ground and the MIC connectors.
    How do I connect these?  I don't want to fry anything.
    Thanks.

     They do have the same pinouts. There are two standards is the reason for two different pinouts. It's just that your MB is Intel HD and your case is AC-97.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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
