P45 platinum problem

i´m sorry for my english jajaja
ok, now to the point, i have a platinum p45 with ,core 2 duo e8500 , 4 gb corsair 2 x 2 gb 800mhz dual chanel , wd 500 gb 7200 rpm , msi geforce n9800gt 512 dd3  in a 650w power cooler
i have tested all the hardware in other pcs and the only problem is the motherb
the pc freezes in all windows and not respond so i have to reboot , and several time give me te bios setup screen with the msg CMOS checksum bad
but when i put an ati graphic card the problem seems to stop
is there a compatibility issue o its a mother problem?

the bios is v 1.0.1 i just reset the bios, but with the update i have installed before it was the same thing
yes i clean the old drivers , even with the generic i have this problem , i have format and reinstalled windows as well
what specs are? the voltage is correctly set up, so is The graphic card. the geforce graphic card works well in other CPU , the ati too but in the p45 platinum only the ati works, i will try in the other slot , but my question is there is no compatibility problem between the mother platinum p 45 and Nvidia graphic cards?
my graphic card is the MSI Nvidia geforce n9800gt , the ATI is borrowed ( is not mine , i´m not sure if i said it OK :P ) but very similar in all features
BTW sorry for my english again , and thanks for the support

    Still does not work. Any ideas from users who have faced similar problems are welcome.
    Meanwhile in a private message I have been accused of spamming all P45 threads. This is atrocious! Please guys, I am not here on behalf of MSI's business rivals to create a ruckus. I have spent my hard earned money on the board and am now facing problems. I hoped to gain sympathetic answers from fellow users, instead of biased accusations. Let me mention here that I have seen seven P45 problem threads on page no. 1 alone of this forum. I responded only to two of them, because my problems were similar.
    So if you have any ideas to resolve my difficulty, please tell me about them. This is going to be my last MSI purchase. But that should deter fellow users from helping me out. You are not working for MSI after all!

  • MSI P45 Platinum Problems

    Hi.
    I am trying to overclock, currently I'm in windows at 4Ghz on my E8500, I know its stable for that as its second hand and tested, the problem is, these GTL ref settings are confusing, even touching them and then saving and exiting bios results in no screen and a row or 4 RED LED's, turning the PC off and then back on solves that but it seems to happen now and again if I say restart windows as it loops and gets to the Bios screen, well its supposed to, it does not due to the red LED's.
    Now I am hoping its because I'm simply not overclocking correctly, The Bios baffled me!, I had a Gigabyte P35C DS3R before with an E6600 and the bios was so much more simple.
    I have disabled everything from the green power functions, spred spectrum, EIST speedstep etc....
    Voltage settings are as follows:
    CPU - 1.3325
    DRAM - 2.004
    MCH - 1.304
    VTT - 1.30V
    ICH Auto
    CPU Multiplyer is at 9.5X
    FSB is at 425Mhz - 1700QP.
    Now if I go into the bios, save and exit, every time the screen never comes back on, it goes to 4 red LED's, now I know in the book that means CPU is damaged but it really is not, I'm hoping I just have the wrong mix of voltages, but I still can get into Windows, just not out of the Bios without turning the PC off due to 4 RED LED's..
    Any help would be aprechiated, thanks.
    I looked on google but seems not many info on this mobo.
    Its a big trouble at the moment to overclock though 
    *EDIT**, Very sorry if I have posted this in the wrong forum, could a mod please move it?
    Thanks

    I dont know if I need to tweak the GTL Ref settings?
    Leave these GTL Ref settings on AUTO if you don't know what to do with them.  Do some reading on the technical background first as this is not the most basic stuff:

    As far as I know "Multi-Step OC-Booster" is disabled.
    You may want to try Mode 1 & Mode 2 and see what happens:
    Mode 1-Entering OS then OC to setting level; No OC during H/W booting
    Mode 2-OC some percantage during H/W booting, and then entering OS to OC to setting level

    odd really its supposed to be able to do 4Ghz at 1.32V this

    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 ...

  • Problem with MSI P45 Platinum DDR2 mainboard and Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D Ram

    Hi, I have encountered with a problem.
    First I had
    MSI p45 platinum ddr2 bios ver. 1,4
    Intel E8400
    Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D 2x1Gb
    2 Asus ATI EAH 3870 Crossfire
    and it was running with windows XP without any problems.
    Problems began when I decided to upgrade to 6Gb of ram and to install Vista 64. Ram modules witch I bought are the same Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D, but 2x2GB.
    When i put them together adjust voltage 2.1v and timing 5-5-5-15 they fail mem test with huge amount of errors.
    when I test only 2x2gb modules memtest sometimes doesn't open at all, sometimes just stops working on 8 minutes of test. couple of times they completed memtest without any errors.
    Can someone advice what should I do and what could the problem?
    Thank you for your answers.

    1) the modules are not the same (the DDR2 chips are different)
    2) as general rule, mixing 2x1GB with 2x2GB is a bad idea.

  • Problem with P45 Platinum during POST

    Good day! 
    I have MSI P45 Platinum mainboard and from to time to time it freezes during POST with AMI bios POST code - 423C. This happens right after the message that "4096MB OK" and before the detection of SATA/IDE drives.  When this happens, the only way to make the system run is to turn off the power (pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del of Reset would result in the same error)  - after that the POST procedure finishes correctly and I don't experience any problems afterwards (system is rock-solid after POST completion).
    So my question is - can anyone explain me what does this post code mean (D-Leds are not much of a help)? Is this a mobo problem or may be there is some kind of incompatibility with my hardware. I should mention also that I've tried all versions of Bios both official and beta without any success.
    This problem does not trouble me that much (doesn't happen often), but still I would like to understand what may cause it.
    P.S. My system config - iC2D E8300/MSI P45 Platinum/4x1Gb DDR2-800 Geil Black Dragon (5-5-5-15)/MSI Radeon 4870 1Gb OC edition/HDD 250 Gb WD + 120Gb Seagate/SB Audigy 4/DVD-RW Asus 1814/PSU TT Toughpower 700w (w0105)
    Thanx in advance and please excuse my poor English   

    Thank you for the reply!

    What is your current BIOS Version?
    I've recently flashed the latest beta bios version - 1,5 beta 6... but it produces the same error as did the latest official bios v1.4 
    Quote from: Jack the Newbie
    Does the same problem occur with only one memory module installed?
    I don't know actually. But thanks for pointing this out  - I will test the system with one (and then with two) module(s). I've tested the modules with the memtest86+ software (the latest version, which supports P45 chipset) several times and it showed no errors. So the modules are OK and they worked without any problems with my previous mb (Gigabyte P35-DS3).
    Quote from: Jack the Newbie
    What do the POST-Status LEDs of the board tell you, when the system freezes at the described stage?
    Well, I guess I don't fully understand what does the combination of LEDs tell during the freeze. I'll try to describe the combination -
    LED12 - OFF           LED13 - GREEN
    LED8 - RED             LED7 - OFF
    LED14 - OFF           LED10 - GREEN
    LED15 - RED           LED11 - OFF
    In mobo's manual this diagnostic LEDs are grouped in 4 groups and the description of the group that most closely resembles my case is - "Testing base and Extended memory etc." But I'm not sure that I'm identifying the problem correctly, because of the LEDs that are OFF.
    Quote from: Jack the Newbie
    Are you experiencing any freeze and/or stability problems appart from the described problem?
    No, as I said in my initial post, once it get past this stage everything is running smoothly - OS boots and all software, including the most demanding games or tests, are running OK.

    Hello,
    I updated BIOS to 1.6 and i have latest driver (updated 3 days ago) for Chipset / and Intel Matrix Storage downloaded from MSI site ...
    Can any malfunctions on any HardDisks or Intel Matrix Storage make only the 2nd raid-mode not work? Is there any test i can do for discover it?

  • Problems Powering up MSI P45 Platinum board

    I've currently started a new build using the following equipment:
    Coolermaster COSMOS 1000
    MSI P45 Platinum
    Intel Quad Q9550 Processor
    2 x 2gb OCZ Memory
    Sapphire ATI 4790 HD 1gb Graphics Card
    PC Cooling 750W Silencer PSU
    Wired everything up, connected all the connectors.  When I go to power up the system, I get a Red LED 3 but no fans or anything spins up.  Switched out for a known good power supply and received the same problem.  Not sure where to go from here?

    Hi,
    take the board out of the case to test it on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration (CPU, one memory stick, video card, Keyboard and power connectors, nothing else).  Make sure every kind of connection (front panel etc. to the case is removed).
    Then clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU and try to power-Up the board.  Try both of the following methods to power-up the system:
    1. use the little red onboard-power-on-button (make sure you don't confuse it with the reset button)
    2. shorten the two pins of the board's pin header that are usually hooked up to the case's power-on button with a screwdriver

    i'm sure the hole for the cmos clear button in the i/o shield is the problem. the button is pressed by the i/o shield and your pc won't start.
    a well known problem. 
    I remember reading about this issue before I built my P45 Platinum system. I made sure during the build that the button was not being pressed by the i/o shield.

  • P45 platinum voltage problem

    I am unable to set vcore voltage any higher than it is in bios. Right now it is 1.20v. When i raise it in cell menu and reboot it stays the same. though cell menu still shows the voltage i need. I guess it happens not only with vcore, but with any voltage i try to change. I am just checking vcore with monitoring programs and it is always 1.20v. Is there any safety switch for voltages or what am i missing here? I can change any voltage in dual core center without any problem, but bios won't let me change them.
    My system specs:
    msi P45 platinum 1.0 / bios 1.4
    intel e8600
    g.skill 2x2gb 800mhz ddr2
    vista ultimate

    The problem is solved. I had to change GTL REF voltage of the cpu from "auto" to some other in order for CPU voltage to go above 1.208v. With the GTL REF cpu voltage set to "auto" it was just stuck at the 1.208v and won't go up no matter what amount you set. So the problem is solved. Thanks.

  • P45 Platinum + Kingston HyperX KHX8500D2K2/2G Problem

    Hi!
    I bought a P45 Platinum + Kingston HyperX KHX8500D2K2/2G Memory Kit + CPU Intel E8400 Duo Core. I can't get my system running at 1066Mhz. I upgraded bios to version 1.2 but it still doesn't work. I set many configs but windows xp does not boot or the machine keeps rebooting.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    I have the same set of memory modules.  The proper settings for DDR2-1066 clock speed vary between BIOS Version [after all DDR2-1066 for these modules is a double overclock: memory controller beyond specs and memory chips beyond specs]. I never had problems to get both of these sticks  to POST in Dual Channel mode on this board.  DDR2-1066 can be tricky with some BIOS Versions but DDR2-800 has to be possible at all times with all Versions (at least, that never was a problem in my case).
    The Bottom line is:  If you can't get your system to get through POST @DDR2-800 MHz with both modules in dual channel configuration, one of the follwing explanation to come to mind:
    - short circuit within the case affecting one of the memory slots [test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface]
    - defective memory slot [if you have tested in Slot 1 & 3, try Slot 2 & 4 and see if anything changes]
    - faulty modules [maybe one of them [did all 10 memtest tests pass on each module without errors?]
    - faulty mainboard
    Quote
    I would like both sticks working together at 1066Mhz. Is this possible?
    It should be possible, yes.

    I have NO problem when i start it with 4 sticks and 5-5-5-15@[email protected], everything is fine.
    Maybe i need give a little more voltage to MCH, but i'm not sure.
    Have anyone tried 8GBs on P45 Platinum with more than 800MHz.

    For two reasons:
    1) you don't have real DDR2-1066 (the modules you have are overclocked & overvolted DDR2-800)
    2) with 4 memory modules, any DDR2/DDR3 controller (northbridge) gets into speed limitation.
    In conclusion: 8GB (4x2GB DDR2-800 5-5-5-15 at 1.8V) is the best choice (presuming you don't have any stability issue).

No matter how many u rise voltage at vcore,vtt,vmch,etc. and lower multiplier (also ratio 1:1) its always unstable. If i could not wrong, i heard many guys out there seems problem too, and that because the bios boards issue? I find something wrong with bios 1.51, my quads its too high temp than real and i cant set vcore over 1.19 and vmch over 1.35
    Please help me, i need advice & suggestion. thanx be4

    Check the temperatures with CoreTemp.
    ahaa.. u got right intuition Aaron. Well, i check up temp with 2 model. First, as ur suggest using with Core Temp 0.99.4, and the second with HWmonitor Ver. 1.08. But too bad i cant post the pic in here because my internet connection bandwitch is very, very slow.... (oh god, i waste the time for upload it) :-(
    I strap fsb to 400 (3.4Ghz) and averything i set it auto (nothing more OC, just only strap fsb)
    On the Core Temp shows 42C at idle (1.1 Vcore), and various temp core1-4 between 41-44C. and with HWmonitor its shows 48C (1.09 Vcore) at idle and various temp core1-4 between 46-49C. And last in bios, vcore always show between 50-52C
    Ok, now which better i trust? .. lol
    and.. oh ya aaron, if u dont mine can u tell me ur setup in cell menu to OC ur quad 9450 at x48 boards? I know its different chipset but just for compare.
    Thx for ur help again.

  • P45 Platinum Q9550 boot/bios problem

    Guys,
    I've recently built a machine with a P45 Platinum board and Q9550 CPU. It has a Corsair 650w PSU, 4gb Corsair ram and a Samsung 1.5tb HDD. GPU is 2x Radeon HD4770 crossfire setup. I'm running Windows 7.
    The problem is, when I first boot the machine it starts up and then I get the windows 'blue screen' and it tries to reboot, but does the same thing over and over. If I press the the reset CMOS button it wil then boot fine, and will switch on and off fine all day, until the next morning, when it does the same thing over again.
    Any ideas anyone?

    Quote from: Del UK on 13-January-10, 04:43:26
    Just quick add:-
    Bios is upto date?
    I was running bios 1.5, now updated to 1.6. I've also pulled the jumpers so the FSB runs at 400mhz and set the RAM settings to what the Corsair data sheet says for 1066Mhz, (5-5-5-15, 2.1v) and it seems to be stable. It shows 1067Mhz still though, but I'm guessing this is right?
    I'm not that mad for overclocking, but it seems happy at 3.4ghz, CPU temp is about 42 degrees.

  • P45 Platinum/Zilent with 8800GT problem

    Specs:
    Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86Ghz (next item to be upgraded)
    P45 Zilent (aka Platinum) V1.1
    1xKingston 2GB DDR2 800

    External Western digital 500GB MyBook through firewire
    LeadTek WinFast PVR2000 TV Tuner
    Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32 bit
    HEC Winpower 550AB
    I was watching this board for a few days now but I haven't had seen any post with a similar problem.  I've already tried bios 1.1, 1.2 and the beta bios 1.22.  What happens is when I run a game, it will close a few minutes later and Vista will show a "nvlddmkm stopped responding" error.  This happens with forceware version 175.19, 177.79 and 177.83.  With forceware 169.25 though, I can play a game normally.  If not for the specific driver version that works, I might have suspected it's a power supply problem.  I was fine with using the older driver, but now that they released the new driver with Physx support, I want to update.
    Someone in another forum said that he was able to make his 8800GT Sonic work with beta bios v. 1.24, but had problems with beta 1.23.  I don't have the 1.24 bios to test yet to see if it'll fix the issue.
    I'm aware of the 8800Gt having issues with older boards with PCI-E v1 but since this board has PCI-E 2.0, this should not be the case.  I've also tried putting the card into the second PCI-E slot but encountered the same problem.  The 6 pin power connector is properly connected to the video card, and I even tried connecting a 4 pin molex to the connector above the PCI-E slot (which I know is used as extra power for Crossfire configuration).
    So.. anybody encountered this problem too?  Any solutions (other than getting an ATI card).

    Quote from: NovJoe on 20-August-08, 14:43:39
    This is more of a driver issue with the OS rather than the board issue.
    Normally, that would be my conclusion too, except that I did a few more tests:
    8800GT + another computer on XP + forceware 175.19 = normal
    8800GT + another computer on Vista + forceware 174.xx (driver that came with the CD) = normal
    7600GT + P45 Platinum + forceware 175.19 = normal
    8800GT + P45 Platinum + forceware 169.25 = normal
    8800GT + p45 Platinum + forceware 174.xx/175.19/177.79/177.83 = "nvlddmkm stopped responding" error
    What I'm asking from other users though is if they managed to use an 8xxx/9xxx series on this board with the latest drivers without encountering error on games, and what bios version they were using.  The just-released official 1.3 bios even included a compatibility fix with the Geforce 9xxx series.   Flashed mine yesterday but didn't solve my problem.
