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.

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 RAID Question?

I'm moving from Opteron to quad core intel... and a friend of mine warned me of a few things...
First: Intel keeps part of its processor design to itself so that its chipsets bring more performance than others' chipsets like Nvidia....? so it's wise to go with intel chipset?
Scond: Intel chipsets have strange way of dealing with SATA RAID being emulated from IDE????? with same speed as IDE... does this apply to the new chipset p35????
Which is a better and more powerful board to get for a QX6700 processor: P6N diamond or P35 platinum? putting into consideration that the system will include 3 sata ii hdds in RAID 5 configuration???

There is no genuine lead here between chipset performance of Intel, Nvidia, ATI and even SiS. Of course, in most benchmark cases, you will see the new P35 Intel chipset is leading in most benchmark. But woulld you really feel that difference? For the LAN, maybe. For the RAID performance, maybe. But for RAM and stuff, probably not.
So, just pick the right, most stable board with the most stable chipset, and most stable BIOS.

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

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 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 won't start up

Yesterday I flashed the BIOS with the latest official update and computer started normally. Only windows came up with some strange errors. So I wanted to reinstall windows but in the BIOS I couldn't select my Lite-On drive to be first to boot. In fact my BIOS didn't see it at all. So I cleared the CMOS again and went to the Boot Sequence part in the BIOS and now he was there again. I didn't change it for now because I first wanted to set in the Integrated Peripherals -> I/O devices -> RAID Mode to RAID and restart it again. So I did.
And there there was nothing, no beeps nothing. Nothing on the screen. Lights are burning on the board.
According to burning LEDs and the the manual the board is "Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting".
I pressed the Clear CMOS button multiple times, took out the battery, took off the powersupply. -> didn't change anything.
What else can I do?

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 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

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.

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.
