P45D3 Platinum and DDR31600 - PROBLEM

Hi all ...  I am new in this forum and I am sorry if you have already discussed my problem but I will ask you for help:
P45D3 Platinum - mainboard
My RAM modules are RAM2GDDR31600CRXMS3   CORSAIR TW3X2G1600C9DHX
TEST SPECS
? Each module pair is tested together at 1600MHz
? Tested and packaged in pairs
? Packaged together immediately following system test
? Tested together at 1600MHz, Vdimm = 1.80V, at latency settings of 9-9-9-24
? SPD programmed at: JEDEC standard 7-7-7-20 values at
1066MHz
The problem is that this RAM doesn't start working at 1600 - BIOS recognize as 1066
I flashed bios with the latest version but problem is still the same
Please explain to me all that I need to run this ram at 1600
Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q9450
ATi 3850x2, 1GB, Asus EAH3850X2/HTDI/1G, PCI-E, DDR3, 512bit, 2xDVI
ATX 650W, Spire Jewel 650, RealPower, 120mm, Silent

at last i put:
DRAM Voltage (V) - 1,6
Advance DRAM Configuration-Configure DRAM Timing by SPD - there is no disable here
timings Cosair :
tcl-9
trcd-9
trp-9
tras-24
- i see here auto or manual - in manual i think SPD go disable
i dont know what i need to put for trfc and next so i put
trfc-58clk - maybe i need to put auto?
twr-4 - maybe i need to put auto?
trrd-4 - maybe i need to put auto?
trtp4 - maybe i need to put auto?
I adjust "FSB/DRAM" ratio until 1:2.0 "Adjusted DRAM Frequency" shows DDR3-1333 - it was max
and system run 1333
I make 3-4 hours gaming without problems
i stop to try to get 1600 - really i dont need it - i juts ask cause on memmory notice 1600
new queastions:
how i can test stability in WinXP - SOFTWARE?
About trfc,twr,trrd,trtp - what is the best that i can use?
Am i need to instal fresh copy of Win after finish my settings in BIOS?
I want to thx to all of you that help me!
Am new user of MSI hardware - before this new pc i had 2 Abit mobos-and i have little exp there with OC.

    As you understand from the subject the Bios recognize the memory as 1066 GHz
    and if i try to put the frequency to 1333 MHz the system can't start and freezes to a black screen.
    I have made the upgrade of Bios to version v15 which according to MSI "Improve OCZ memory compatibility"
    but nothing.  >:(
    Can you help me?
    Thanks in advance.

  • P45D3 Platinum And G.Skill 4GB Dual Kit DDR3-1333 F3-10666C FREEZE!? HELP!

     
    Hi there!
    First sorry bout my bad english!
    I bought yesterday the new p45d3 platinum mainboard and g.skill 4GB Dual Kit DDR3-1333 F3-10666C memory and i have this same problem that seems to be popular. The Bios works fine, but when installing xp sp3 from cd it always freezes in 6%. Every single time. Have tried to clear cmos and run the system with minimum hw in it but every time same problem.
    Just when i changed from Abit to MSI i counter this same prob than with abit while ago.
    If someone could be so gentle and help me out with this, thank you so much!
    yours

    First of all, what is your current BIOS-Version.  It should be displayed on the POST screen:

    Remove one of the two modules, clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU, load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS and set the following BIOS Option:
    - Spread Spectrum = Disabled
    - FSB/DRAM Rato -> 1:1.6 [=DDR3-1066]
    - Memory Voltage/DRAM-Voltage = ~1.57V
    Then try again to install XP.

  • P45D3 Platinum and Intel VT

    Hi,
    I run a P45D3 Platinum board with a Q8200 CPU and 8Gb of RAM. I am running the latest bios for my card as of this writing: AMI v1.6 and cannot find a way to enable the Intel VT feature. This is preventing me from running 64 bit kernels in guest Virtual Machines on Windows Vista 64 host with VMWare server 2.0.1.
    I also tried the UEFI BIOS with little success as my OCZ RAM does not bode well with UEFI BIOS version 1.2
    Any pointer appreciated,
    Eric

    Hi,
    actually, Virtualization Technology should be automatically enabled by default if it is supported by the processor.  And here comes the crucial point:

    According to the Intel Product Site, this processor does not support VT (neither of its versions does):

  • P35 Platinum and eSata problem

    I recently bought a WD My Book Premium ES 500GB and when i try to connect it via eSata cable, it doesn't work.My system can't recognize the drive, it doesn't show up in BIOS screen where HDD's are. I tried 2 different eSata cables but nothing.Via USB2 connection it works fine.
    My system Specs are: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600,MSI P35 Platinum Mobo with latest BIOS update 1.1, 2GB RAM DDR2, Asus X1950XT VGA,Tagan 500W PSU.
    I tried both eSata ports at the Back Panel of my motherboard but none worked with My Book.
    Is there a problem with My Book? or is a compatibility issue?

    Make sure you have set the switch or whatever your external drive has, to E-Sata mode.  I'm sure you probably already did that but just sayin! 
    I have a different board AND different external drive but after playing with my setup for a whole day trying to get the esata to work, it finally dawned on me that I had not set the switch from  USB to Esata (no wisecracks please 
    As soon as I did the switch, the Esata started working just fine.

  • K9A Platinum and POST Problems

    Alright... here's the deal. I am building a brand new machine. I got a relative nice case and 650W PSU with dual fans. GOt 2GB of Corsair XMS DDR2 675 Memory (Matched Pair). I also bought an AMD X2 AM2 4600 and a Zalman CNPS9500 for AM2 Fan. My video Card is a Sapphire Radeon X1600 Pro. When I power up all fans, Zalman, and GPU Fan run but I get no video as well as no POST Beeps at all. I have done the following below.
    1. Used another older Video Card that verified in my existing machine works - no change
    2. Changed from top X16 GPU Slot to second - no change
    3. Reseated memory, tried one at a time and verified they were in DIMMS 1 and 3 for Dual Channel - No Change
    4. Not running Crossfire but plugged in Power Outlet with that - no change
    5. Removed cabling to Front USB and Sound - no change
    6. Removed HDD and CD Combo Drive from equation - no change
    7. Reset BIOS Jumper - no change
    8. Reset CMOS Battery - no change
    I ordered a POST Card from eBay to help diagnose the problem as I do not have spare board, proc, or mem that are AM2 or DDR2 compatable. I also sent in tech request form to MSI.
    I am not quite sure what to do or where to go from here. Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    P.S. I used Anti-static wrist guard while installing all components. Not that that is 100% full proof but it is good.

    Remove the board from the case and try it on a peice of cardboard. This makes sure you aren't touching some contact point to the case and grounding out something critical.
    Try just the hardware to absolutly need to post. Use one stick of RAM
    Do a Bios Reset.

  • Problem with MSI P45D3 Platinum

    Hi, I've just built myself a new computer but it wont start. When I turn the power on on the power supply all that happens is a red led on the motherboard starts to flash. The led is under my graphic card on the right hand side of the board, I think its the led3 thats flashing. Nothing else works, the power supply fan and the cpu fan both dont run. The power switch on the front of the case does not work.
    Is the red flashing led the standby led?
    Any help would be great.

    Try to push the onboard-power-on button and see if that changes anything.
    In case the problem still occurs, please take the board out of the case and test it on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration.
    If that still does not solve the problem, test a different Power Supply Unit, maybe your's broke (had the same symptoms once with a broken Be Quiet PSU on a P45 Platinum).
    Should a different PSU not solve the problem, RMA the board.

  • P45D3 platinum gskill ripjaws DDR-3 1600 problem

    Hi to all.
    I have a problem my p45d3 platinum (bios 1.7B2) and gskill ripjaws 1600 4GB ( http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=222 )
    I can't run this ram at its default speed, it can't go higher than 1333 mhz.
    I read that this is a common problem with this motherboard, because many ddr3-1600 are overclocked and overvolted ddr3-1066/1333 and no real ddr3-1600.
    But i think i have REAL ddr3-1600 ram, because its voltage is "only" 1,5V.
    So, why my motherboard recognize it as ddr3-1333? Additionally, this ram supports xmp: if i enable it, bios recognize the right speed, but system does not boot.
    I tried to increase the ram voltage and manually set the default timings, but without luck.
    What can i do? I see there are a lot of other parameters about ram which can be set, but i don't know how... maybe someone can give me some advices?
    Thank you to all, hope semebody can help me. And sorry for my english 
    Kind regards

    Hi,
    Can you please provide a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" View?
    Keep in mind, that the Intel P45 Chipset (well, it's memory controller) natively only supports DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066 memory modules (according to Intel Specifications).  So, operation @DDR3-1600 is not a given under all circumstances.

  • P45D3 Platinum Motherboard Ram Settings and detection

    Well i have this motherboard and 1333 MhZ DDR-3 RAM (2*1GB dual channel kit by MDT).
    The OC jumpers are at default which means 200 MHz FSB.
    I have all on AUTO detection in the bios wherever possible.
    The manual says Memory Support:
    4 DDR3 DIMMS 1333/1066/800 MHz and up.
    The problem i got is that my memory is only detected as 1066 MHZ and there is no way to get a higher setting with the standard settings you can choose, 1:2 being the highest.
    What do i have to do to run my memory at 1333 MHz?
    Bios is version 1,4

  • P965 Platinum and Realtek RTL8111B problem

    I have a dual boot setup on my computer:  Windows XP and Fedora 7 Linux. 
    After booting Windows XP I will have to COMPLETELY UNPLUG the power supply from my computer before booting to Fedora 7 Linux.  The reason:  If I simply reboot or turn off the computer (simply turning off does not remove the power from the mainboard), then the Realtek RTL8111B onboard LAN is left in a state which prevents Fedora 7 Linux from being able to use the LAN.  Fedora simply reports the LAN is not available.  The solution, which I find unacceptable, is to completely turn off the Realtek RTL8111B on the P965 Platinum and use an old Realtek 8129 PCI network board. 
    A better solution would be for the MSI BIOS to reset all of the Realtek RTL8111B LAN chipset's bits to a valid state so that Fedora 7 Linux would be able to properly recognize and use the onboard LAN.
    Again, if I COMPLETELY UNPLUG my computer's power supply Fedora 7 Linux always finds and uses the onboard LAN.  It is only after using Windows XP and rebooting to Fedora 7 Linux without completely unplugging the power supply first that there is a problem.  This would seem to indicate the MSI BIOS is not resetting the Realtek RTL8111B onboard LAN chipset to a clean state when it initializes the system upon booting.
    I am using MSI P965 Platinum BIOS version 1.4

    Uhm, I'm having exactly the same issue under linux.
    The router's led will stay off and it looks like there was no network cable connected (Realtek Ethernet controllers are insmod'ed and everything looks fine).
    The only thing I haven't tried is unplugging the power supply's cable ... weird.
    I'm also upset about this problem  >:(

  • PC won't boot after memory upgrade (on MSI P45D3 Platinum)

    I am having a problem on my MSI P45D3 Platinum motherboard system (Dual OS: Win XP and Win 7)
    Until recently I was running it on PATRIOT 2GB (2x1GB) 1600MHz DDR3 PDC32G1600LLK memory (CL7) and all was fine, though running only at 1066MHz, since I couldn't tweak the settings (latencies/voltage) in order for it to run at 1600MHz.
    I wanted to add RAM but since I couldn't find the same type anywhere in my town, I decided to go for PATRIOT 4GB (2x2GB) 1600MHz DDR3 PSD34G1600KH Signature Line (CL9). However, the system never booted again (blank screen, no signal sent to monitor) after adding the two new sticks of RAM! The new RAM is working fine when I remove the old and vice versa, so I know it is not a case of defective sticks.
    I must mention that I cannot fiddle with the RAM timings because I cannot even reach BIOS!
    Any help will be most welcome! 

    Mixing different memory modules is always a gamble and likely to cause such problems.  Identical modules should be used for best results.
    In many cases, you can set what you want regarding memory configuration, getting the RAM mixture to work stable will simply be impossible, even though there is no defect.

  • P45D3 Platinum wont start

    Put everything together, checked everything.
    1 red led on.  Pressed power, and all blue led's blinked once, cpu fan turned once, and nothing else happend.
    No error beep nothing.
    Tried other PS same problem.
    Disassembled everything and assembled it outside the chasis,
    and tried Motherboard 2x1 ram cpu  and graphic card - Same as above - nothing.
    Tried again without ram - samething
    Tried again without ram and GPU - samething
    Tried again with everything but this time changed the CPU to a Core2 E6850 - samething
    All the above procedure was again tried with a MSI NX8500GT GPU
    Once again tried everything with a different 500W PS - Still nothing happend.
    By mistake I forgot to connect the CPU and GPU power connector. Now the board lights all led's but still its not alive.
    Connected the CPU power again. And the board was dead as before.
    Tried the same with only the GPU power connected, and again dead.
    Moved CPU GPU and RAM to my P35 Platinum and after reset it came to life.
    Why can't get the P45D3 to start up. Everything works but that Mainboard.
    Something I'm missing, or do I have a dead board??????

    Please test with one memory module only and try a different PSU while the board is sitting on a non-conducting surface outside the case.
