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).

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.

P45 platinum zilent ed-spdif problem

hello, its my first time to post here.
anyway, im having problem with my motherboard. i have a HTPC set up, i just bought a denon avr, and my problem is the spdif output from the mobo is not detected by the avr, supposed to be it will display on the screen of the avr saying "digital", so i checked the sound config of the pc and it its not detecting/showing the spdif plug also, unlike those in the 3.5mm jack once u plug or unplug the computer will automatically detected it.
im planning to buy a soundcard but i dont want a redundant set up, my avr alone can decode HD format audio. pls help.
TIA!

Just to make it clear my pic/screenshot was from the PDF manual which is in fact the same as what my P35 manual has. I also can not find the setting for digital out on mine using W7.
OK i just found it. Go to Control Panel and click on Hardware & Sound and then Sound and you will get the window in pics below. I never used this section for S/PDIF so it took a while for me to figure it out.
Right click on the section with the speaker icon and then in the pop up menu left click Show Disabled Devices
Next right click on the Realtek Digital Output section to get the menu and then enable digital out.

P45 Platinum (Zilent) and 1066MHz DDR2

Hi, I am getting a new PC and as I always do I will be assembling it myself. I ordered the P45 Zilent board and it will arrive in less than a week, along with a 2GB A-DATA Vitesta+ 1066+ DDR2 memory kit. I love the MSI brand, I know it is good stuff, and the P45 Platinum is just a beast... but i read some reviews that say that the BIOS version it comes with it has some flaws. Mostly about raising the FSB and other overclocking, and when I went to the product page on the MSI site and read the BIOS versions change logs i saw that in the v1.3 there is a fix to an inaccurate reading of the CPU temperature in the BIOS.
I need to state that I have no intention of doing major overclocking on it, at least not for a few years, but I want to set the RAM clocks, frequency and voltages as specified on the Vitesta package:
# Timings: 5-5-5-15-2T
# Voltage: 2.2V~2.3V
# Frequency: 1066MHz
So what I want to know is:
1. Will I have problems with the stock BIOS setting my DDR2 kit on the above settings?
2. Will the stock BIOS read the CPU temperature right, and does it have any serious flaws?
3. Will it support an E8400 or E8300 CPU, and will the CPU work on 1333MHz (stock) FSB without problems?
Mostly I do not want to flash the BIOS if it can do what I need it to do, so I just want to know if I will have to flash it to achieve the above. I hope someone has tested the stock BIOS for DRR2 on the settings above, and also tested it for other flaws and may be able to help me with answers. A few pointers on how to overclock the RAM voltage, timings and frequency on this board, and also how to set up the BIOS (if it doesn't need to be flashed) for good system performance and stability are welcome as well.

Confirming PERFECT stability work with:
BIOS version 1.4 Update Date 2008-09-11
CPU: E8400@3GHz
RAM 2x2GB Vitesta 1066+ [email protected]@1066MHz
That costs me a lot of wasted time to set all working well.
Good luck!
P.S.: You may have problem with right recognition of the cpu because of BIOS version (mine was 1.0 at the beginning and with CPU-Z Mobo didn't recognize SSE4.1 and VT technology). Just update your BIOS with 1.4 and everything must be fine

P45 Platinum - OCing with FSB jumpers

Hi,
I have already had problems with my memory and you guys helped me alot so i suggested to post my new problem here,,, maybe you guys know what to do.
I have a MSI P45 platinum with Intel Q9550 but when i check the ratings with CPU-Z it says my CPU is running at 2 GHZ and only using 6.0 x multiplier... were it should be 2.83 GHZ and 8.5 x multipliere ( Stock settings ).. how is this possible and how to fix this ? also in the BIOS it says its just running normal ( 2.83 GHZ at 8.5 x ) and so thoes windows XP and vista do ( they show 2.83 GHZ. ) but i think that is normal since vista and XP see a Q9550 and tell me it runs on 2.83 GHZ when its working properly.
it is running on 1333 MHZ ( well its 1336.4 to be exact) but i think it won't hurt if its running on it right ?
what settings should i change to let it run normal ? maybe the voltage for the CPU ?
Also i was checking my BIOS for this problem but i couldn't find he multiplier option where you can OC it... or do i need to enable something for it ?
Thanks for everyone's time and wisdom

Quote
so i guess its ok...
Definately!
Quote
Also where can i change the multiplier in BIOS for overclock ?
You need an Intel Extreme Edition Processor to be able to overclock the CPU by rasing the multiplier beyond standard. On all other model, all ratio higher than default are locked by Intel.
Quote
or should I raise the FSB bus speed a little higher.. what do you suggest ?
Raising the FSB Clock Speed is the only way to overclock the processor. You can try to remove the OC Jumpers of the board completely, which will force the FSB Frequency to 400 MHz via hardware. Do a CMOS Clear (with main A/C power cable removed from PSU) after removing the jumpers and see if the system will start up okay. Alternatively, you can simply raise the FSB Clock Speed in BIOS (but keep the FSB/DRAM Ratio in mind, when you do that, as the memory clock is tied to the FSB Clock via set ratios.)

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 useful info for group

Hi
Built my new system (see earlier threads) which comprises P45 Zilent; E8600; Geil 8M DDR800 CL5; Vista Ult 64; 3 SATA hard drive; 2 SATA Optical drives; 8800GTS320 vid; NXET Hush Case; Coolermaster Green 750W PSU; Samsung 245+ monitor.
All went well until I had installed Vista Ult 64 when I started to get random shutdowns with errors like 000000020B9C2B and few others. Lasted between 2-10 mins and was worse on optimesed bios settings.
Having read something similar on here to do with drivers I updated the Bios from 1.3 to 1.5, the intel inf drivers and the audio drivers.
Had no trouble since and now on optimised settings.
Like all my chosen parts although the Hush case is a bit tight for 3 drives and a large vid card. Well made, easy to assemble and very quiet though.
Seeing the P45zilent's got the Zalman cooler I hope to try speeding things up a bit but will leave for a few weeks before trying. Dont know whats achievable with this set up.
May be useful to someone.
Kev
Saving up for a faster vid card for m FSX and my sons racing games like grid etc as well as a NTFS Gigabit NAS drive to replace the 3rd drive in my PC as I dont think having the backup in the same PC's a good idea in case of theft, fires etc

I updated the Bios from 1.3 to 1.5
superkev6969, you said you updated your BIOS to v1.5. Are you sure about the version? There is no official or BETA BIOS with that version ID (yet).

P45 Platinum, crossfire with X2 - X2 or X2 - normal 4870

what delivers the best perfomance for crossfire with already a X2 in my system ? another X2 or just a single 4870 ?
Does someone already even tried this ?

Quote from: Frankenputer on 28-December-08, 13:01:00
PCIe 8x is plenty of bandwidth.
The ATI 4800 series show a slight decrease in performance (maybe 0-5%) when PCI-E 2.0 x8, or PCI-E x16 speeds are used.

P45 Platinum NEED HELP FAST PLEASE!

As you may have read previously, I was going to and I got a P45 Zilent board along with other parts. Now I have a few problems. Firstly here are the system specs:
MSI P45 Platinum (Zilent) BIOS v1.0
Intel Core 2 Duo E8300
A-DATA Vitesta 1066+ 2x1GB
MSI R4850
1XWD RAPTOR 74GB
1XWD CAVIAR 200GB
1XWD CAVIAR 500GB
1XSAMSUNG SATA DVDRW 22x
PSU: Cooler Master Real Power M520
HANNS-G HI221DP (22" Widescreen connected with DVI-D Single Link Cable)
So, when I installed everything, and turned on the PC the DOS looking environment that shows up before the OS is loaded is filled with exclamation marks on the background, and in the BIOS has dots on the background. I thought at first OMG my VGA is faulty, but then in Windows it shows perfectly good image quality and no problems what so ever...
Second problem: My PC won't reboot. When it goes to reboot, it goes through the shutdown sequence properly, but after that when it needs to restart it just hangs and the 4 indicator lights are all red. Now when it starts normally there is no hang, all the lights are green and system is working fine. But every time it restarts it hangs there and nothing happens... :S
And third on CPU Z my the PC multiplier varies and also the bus speed is too low... here is a screenshot:
Now, even though the multiplier changes when PC under load, and I read it is some kind of power saving option, the BUS remains that low :S
Please help me fast, please.

Quote
Now the multiplier problem remains, but I read somewhere it is a power saving feature, but still I want to disable it and make my multiplier at 8.5 all the time and my CPU speed at 2.83GHz (stock speed for the E8300). How can I do that, without messing up the settings in the BIOS that fixed the problems above?
There is no real need to disable that function. After all, it is a feature of your processor, you paid for it and the Multiplier should switch back to default as soon as you CPU gets something to do. It will only drop to x6 when the system is IDLE to save power and keep the temperatures low. There should not be any performance sacrifices. Keep in mind that the Core Voltage is reduced as well. This is all intended to for the benefit of your Processor and therefore for you, after all.
However, if you really think that you want to disable these functions, you may want a little info on what functions are actually involved:
1) EIST = Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology -> The option is located in the Cell Menu. You can actually disable EIST on the OS level (and keep in enabled in BIOS). All you need to do is to turn off the Windows Power Saving Features and set everything to max. Performance. This disables SpeedStep/EIST, even when the support is still enabled in BIOS.
2) C1E Support (C1E = Enhanced Halt State) -> This feature can only be disabled in BIOS. Even if EIST is disabled (OS and/or BIOS), the C1E Feature will still be doing its job. To disable it, look in the CPU Features Section of the BIOS. You should find an option there.
In any case, my suggestion would be to keep both functions enabled. These features are actually rather good.
Quote
Also how do I set my memory to run at the preferred settings prescribed by the manufacturer, which are:
CL: 5-5-5-15 2T
2.2-2.3V
1066MHz
The standard DDR2 supply voltage is 1.8V +/-0.1V. The fact that your memory modules need to be overvolted to have a chance to run at DDR2-1066 MHz shows that they are not "real" DDR2-1066 memory modules but actually just DDR2-800 sticks with a manufacturer's permission to overclock them. Also, keep in mind that the P45 Chipset does not natively support DDR2-1066 memory modules, but DDR2-667 & DDR2-800 only.
This said, you actually need to overclock both the memory controller and the modules, which is not necessarely stable.
To increase the memory voltage, you need to manually adjust the FSB/DRAM Ratio in BIOS to 1:1.6 and manually increase the DRAM Voltage using the +/- keys of your numpad. Spread Spectrum should be disabled at all times.

Q6600 + p45 Platinum

Can you pls give me the Overclock settings for my specs..
Here's my Specs

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=121654.0
Here is a post with a few numbers and screen shots of my bios settings. Just remember no two setups are just a like. It takes trial and error, and sometimes several OS reinstalls to get it right. With a True EX 120, I set my TjMax to 90C, thats 10C below most temperature monitoring programs stock settings. That gets me 64C on my hottest core with an ambient temperature of 20C while running Prime 95 or OCCT. That means my quad is doing 74C at stock Coretemp settings. I am taking a leap of faith the Intel was telling the truth about TjMax being 90C on a Q6600. If you value your processor, leave that setting on a temperature monitoring program alone and overclock accordingly stay under 70C just to be cautious.
What is the vid of your processor?

P45 Platinum- Unable to insert 2 sticks of DDR2

Just purchased an MSI P45 Platinum Motherboard, with an Intel Core2 Duo E7300. This is a 2.66GHZ chip with 1066MHZ FSB.
Originally, the board had V1.0 bios. When installing 2 stick kit of Kingston KHX6400D2K2/2G, the system hung with the LED's indicating memory error. I then bought equivalent Corsair and had the same problem.
When I tried starting the system with 1 stick, system boots.
I upgraded the BIOS to 1.5 today. Now, when the system starts with 2 sticks, it hangs up and reboots continuously. Install only 1 stick, system boots normally.
I previous reply to a post on another thread indicated timing values of
5 5 5 18 4 23 6 10 7.8us 2T 1.95V FSB/MEM 1:1.2
however I was not comfortable(yet) with changing these bios settings because I couldn't easily find them all in the order supplied. For example, I can get the 5 5 5 18, but the 4 was not the next logical setting and the 7.8us I couldn't find.
Perhaps I can get a more specific timing explanation(I know it is a pain).
Thanks.

Here is the link to get CPU-Z: http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php
Since the problem goes away when just one mem. stick is in slot #1, & you have bios 1.5, it is pointing to XP SP2 or the system not liking that second 2G stick installed. Since XP 32 bit can only recognize around a max. of 3G's mem. anyway, maybe a change to 2X1G in slots 1 & 3 may be a better option. That would enable dual channel, as with just 1X2G in slot 1, it would be single channel & a slight decrease in performance.
Once you have CPU-Z, the SPD's JEDEC & EPP will be valuable information. Also, stay away from the D.C.C. & just use bios Cell Menu to adjust mem. V's & timings. A new Utility Tool is out that can be used as a reference tool & mem. tweaker. Altho it can be used to tweak, I have not tried that, so best to stick with bios to be safe.

P45 Platinum fan issue

I've been running a P45 Platinum mobo with an E8500 core 2 duo processor. After the initial 3 or 4 minutes of usage, the CPU fan quickly goes to full speed for a few seconds, making it sound like a jet engine. After a few seconds, the fan goes back to normal speed and stays that way. This occurs each time after a cold boot. Is this some sort of setting that needs to be changed, or simply how the mobo operates? Looked through the manual and BIOS settings but haven't been able to see anything related.
Thanks in advance.

Or for those of us who won't/don't run "Core Centre" or any other OS based tweaking app....
The BIOS can adequately control the CPU fan if set correctly and you don't use a joke aftermarket HSF. A correctly set up Smart fan will run the CPU fan at full pelt for a few seconds at switch on before chopping it back as the BIOS boots and starts control.

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).

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.

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.

P45 Platinum with Q9550 problem

Hi there,
here's my spec :
P45 platinum board (bios 1.51)
Q9550 (E0)
Gskill PC8800 pi 2x2Gb DDR2
2x Gecube 3870 turbo
Cooler Master M700 real power
Zalman CNPS 9700
and then my problem is i cant go stable over 412 fsb. Im trying hard to setup in cell menu bios and never luck. 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.
