P45D3 Platinum Power Issue

The story so far:
April 2009 - I purchased a new PC using the P45D3 Platinum. I ran into issues as the memory I purchased was actually overclocked by the automatic settings in the BIOS (DDR1333). The issues were resolved in a few days and memory tests passed without issue and Windows no longer froze randomly. The PC ran perfectly (essentially 24/7) until 2 weeks ago (November 2010).
The key bad part:
The machine powered off while doing nothing out of the ordinary. Upon powering it up again the power turned on and then off and then on again... and off again after some random amount of time. (this happened for a couple days until it was at the point the machine would only remain on for a few seconds at a time)
The aftermath
I figured it was the power supply so I ordered a PSU tester and then a new power supply. (The tester is a great tool to have!) The new and old PSU both passed the power supply tester's requirements without issue. The new power supply upon first boot hit the exact same issue where it powered on and then off. Upon second boot it stayed on for about 5 days. Everything looked great and I was ready to get back to happily computing.
The aftermath (Part 2)
...It died again. It shut off on its own and was back to the "powers on for seconds and then powers down." (and back on ... then back off) I removed just about everything and ran the board bare with just about nothing (tested with CPU+Fan only as a last test). The results were the same every single time.
Power motherboard on by button on motherboard
CPU/PSU Fan spins for ~10 seconds
CPU/PSU stops for ~5 seconds -- appears to be shut off completely
CPU/PSU Fan spins for ?? seconds
Now I am here posting in hopes that someone has some ideas/suggestions. I saw this link about double booting, definitely something I seem to hit every time I power on the motherboard... https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=117807.0

I'm punting on this issue completely. I purchased a new motherboard and CPU (P55A Fuzion + i7 870). To return the P45D3 for a replacement seems like it will cost about $70+ (shipping to and then the MSI fee for replacement on older hardware) and just is not worth it. Has anyone else had experience returning a motherboard? What was your overall cost?

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 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
Antti

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 - DLed is full red but the CPU is OK

Hello,
After I organized the cables inside my PC case the MB (P45D3 Platinum) could not start. The D-Led was red completely and did not change even after some restart, reset or power cycle. All other blue leds lit.
I performed CMOS reset but did not work. I minimized the config to PS, MB, CPU, 1xRAM, VGA and freed up all the cables but the problem remained. I tried both the RAMs separately I have - no change.
Then I tried the CPU and the VGA in my son's computer and found them OK. But I could not try the RAMS as I have DDR3 and his PC supports only DDR2. This is the current status.
Can anyone advice something to find the cause and solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

I already assembled carefully my PCs components on the tabletop and checked its functionality - as I wrote in my previous mial. Quote from: BigRega on 12-November-09, 02:46:27
Then I disassembled my PC and built the minimum config on desk but no change after power on.
Still no success.
I believe that only one rail can be enough for the MB and the CPU (12V x 15A = 180W by the first 12V rail) as the CPU (E8400) is a 65W model.
The VGA needs 2 x 75W = 150W (by the second 12V rail) from the PSU. The fans require 4 x 8W = 32W, the HDDs & DVD R/W 4 x 10W = 40W (72W by the third rail).
The total required power is 402 W. I do not believe this power is provided by only the 12V rails but the +5V & +3.3V (141W) rail and by the other ones (9.6W +17.5W).
Do you agree with this calculation?
Another thing: why this config worked for 2 months properly if the PSU is not enough? :smiley:
And I would still like to known what is the led3 for? Is it an error signal if this led lits red?
Thanks for your answer in advance.

975X Platinum Power Up Edition v 2.1 - Will not Boot!

Hi All,
I have what seems to me to be a major issue. I've just built a new machine with the following specs :
PSU : Coolermaster eXtreme Power 650W PSU - ATX 12V V2.01 120mm Fan 20+4pin
MBO : 975X Platinum Power Up Edition v 2.1
CPU : Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4GHz 1066MHz) Socket 775 L2 8MB Cache
MEM: OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 5-5-5-12 GOLD XTC *SPECIAL OPS* ED
GFX : Sapphire X1950GT 256MB
DVD: Samsung SH-S203B 20X DVD±RW/RAM / DL Serial ATA Black Bare Drive
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar T7k500 HDT725032VLA360 320GB SATAII (2)
When I boot, the D-Bracket briefly shows green lights at position 1 and 4 and then just hangs on one green light in position 4. I see no display on the monitor. All the fans are spinning but nothing else happens!
I got the following response from MSI :
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your concern. Please follow the below steps to have a try.
1.unplug the battery and clear cmos.
2.clean up all the components and plug them again.
3.change another memory.
4.change another power supply.
5.make sure whether the cpu fan is fixed properly and tightened.
If still can't help, please mail us again.
Regards
MSI Technical Support Team
I have tried everything they said, but it has made no difference. The strange thing is that no red leds come on. I thought that the first in the display sequence of the d-bracket was four red leds.
Any ideas? I really need your help!
Many Thanks,
Matt

Did you connect the 8-pin +12V-CPU-connector to your power supply?
Quote
GFX : Sapphire X1950GT 256MB
Make sure the 6-pin PCIe connector on your graphics card is hooked up to your PSU. Also use the 4-pin (4x1) PCIe connector on your mainboard to re-assure stable power supply.
Take the board out of your case and put it on a non-conducting surface for testing. Use barebone configuration only:
- CPU
- one RAM module in Slot 1
- graphics card
- D-Bracket
- disconnect hard drives, optical drives, USB devices, add-on cards and USB front panel connectors.
- Clear CMOS (remove main power plug removed from PSU first)
Then try to boot your system again and see if there are any changes. If not, use the other RAM module and try again.
One more thing:
Make sure that you are really using the Power-Up Edition of the 975X Platinum mainboard. The regular edition (MS-7246 v1.x) does not support your CPU. There was a case not too long ago in which a user bought a 975X Plat. PUE mainboard (MS-7246 v2.x) that did not want to work as expected. It turned out that he actually got the older edition of the board.

975X Platinum Power Up Edition to buy or not.

HI everyone,I have been looking at the 975X Platinum Power Up Edition but i see a lot of bios problems posted here.so i guess i will go with another board .i don't want to go with another board with bios problems unless they can be fixed in due time.so is it a good board or not?

UAW,
I agree with your observation that these Forums provide a level of support for the purchase of MSI products, especially motherboards. I've clung to MSI motherboards through seven PC builds . . . all seven have been with MSI motherboards. Number eight is underway with the third of three 975X PUEs bought at the same time. Without these Forums I might never have solved some of my PC build problems.
In a nutshell, and in my experience, the 975X has issues. Worse, neither it nor the supporting MSI Utilities are up to even the previous MSI standards, not that they were all that great to begin with. Worse still, I see little evidence that MSI is actively addressing many of these issues . . . while MSI Sales sits around and slaps each other on the back for the favorable Tom's Hardware review that the 975X received.
If these Forums don't give you enough of a "flavor" for the 975X, go to NewEgg and read some of the reviews there. Admittedly, these MSI Forums are FOR people experiencing problems, but not NewEgg. Those reviewers, for the most part, want to think the BEST of their purchase . . . they WANT to be pleased. By a wide magrin they have not been pleased.
Me? "Disgusted" pretty well sums up my feelings. My next motherboard purchase will definitely NOT be MSI. Sorry, I'm a candid poster, 62 years of age, and ready to admit that I don't always make the right decisions or purchase the best products. Two come instantly to mind: SyQuest "zip" drives & MSI motherboards.

975x Platinum Power Up Edition Help Required

Good Afternoon,
Have just purchased the following setup
Motherboard: MSI 975x Platinum Power Up Edition
Processor: Intel E6600
Ram: Cruicial Ballistix 2 x 1GB PC6400 Dual Channel (MSI Say It Is Supported)
GFX: MSI GeForce 7950GT 512MB PCI E
HDD: 2 x 80gb Seagate (Connected Via Sata)
CDROM: Sony DVD-RW
PSU: Hiper Modular 530W Black SLI Certified PSU
Think thats all you need, its been built by an experienced pc builder.
It will not start, when we switch it on it boots for about 5 seconds then shuts down and restarts, the error reporting leds are in the following combination:
Red Green
Red Red
Originally we were running Geil Ram, but realised MSI didn't support this so got some Crucial however it still doesn't work, I have read a number of threads on this forum and tried resetting the CMOS and playing around with the memory configs, any help and advice on how to get this working would be much appreciated.
Thanks

@deastwood:
Can we call you Clint for short?
Sympathies - We have a similar setup. I returned my first Corsair twins as the board would not boot with them as a twin. Turns out one was supposedly defective. BUT - when I recently replaced my Corsair twin 800s that did not work eventually with twin 1Gb CL4 800 Crucial Ballistix stix - I had a severe reboot issue and frequently - the system would not start without hitting the reset or the cold boot start button on the powerup many times. When it did not start I had the same LED settings you noted.
My colleagues who run a "confuser" shop, took out the Crucial memory, tried it in another 975 board (I think the ASUS 5B delux). and the Asus board booted just fine with the memory. They left the momory at 1.8VDIMM - stock - even though Crucial recommends 2.2 for these stix.
They removed the 975XPUE battery, reset the CMOS, and plugged the battery back in - VOILA - everything worked and today I am running as below. We have no idea why it would work after a CMOS reset as I had tried that before (but perhaps I had not left it long enough or did not press the reset button on the CMOS in the right sequence - something real simple like that????? ).
BOTTOM LINE: since they did that - it has no reboot issue - and all I did with the memory is set it manually to 5-4-4-12. It is like a ROCK now.
Others are more qualified than I about this board - but suggest you might go back to basics:
1) check the memory works in another board
2) remove battery, wait 10 minutes, press CMOS reset button for 10 seconds, replace battery
3) check yourself all the power/CPU fan connections and that you have the 4-pin molex connected to the GRAKA
(do you have a 20 or 24 pin power bar ?)
4) reseat the memory (just use one stick in either of the green mem slots)
5) do not bother connecting the IDE/CDROM until you get to post.
6) Just use one SATA drive (connected to SATA 1 (top))
7) Put in a less powerful GRAKA (a radeon 600 or NVIDIA equivalent) and run it with a VGA connector.
8) Read the MOAN guide just in case you all forgot something real simple. It does not take that long to ge through it.
It took me quite a few fiddles and frustrations to get my 6600 rig solid - sorry to hear about yours not even kick starting.
But just be a bit patient and take it from the start with as few extra bits of kit til u get past post to the Bios.
Happy rails.. and let us know how trhings are progressing... keith

P45D3 Platinum (MS 7513-010R) Windows Installation UEFI Click Bios 1.43

Hallo!
I have tried RAID0 system with Windows Vista64 with integrated Sp1 and Windows 7 64 RC from the UEFI shell to install. In the screen with the Intel RAID BIOS Setup is entered with Ctrl. I is not possible. Existing RAID0 keyboard input is possible only from the window for entering into the Click BIOS Keyboard with Del possible.
After running bootx64.efi pass about 30 seconds until the lettering Press any key to boot from CD or DVD appears. Keyboard input disappear after a further 3 minutes until the window with the progress bar Windows is loading files appears. The Progress bar takes 1 hour 25 minutes to the end of DVD drive is constantly in operation LED blinks. Partitioning the hard drive with GPT in the setup program is possible. After rebooting the system after the expansion of the files if the installation does not continue, but in Bios mode reboot.
An installation in a non raid system in AHCI mode is the starting time of 90 minutes to equal partitioning, however, interrupt the installation of Windows when copying files from a Blue Screen.
In IDE mode lasts until the installer to copy the Windows files, about 40 seconds. Cancels but to restart the setup program with a blue screen from.
I have Experimental the memory clock of my memory from 1333 MHz to 1066 MHz also no success
In the BIOS emulation mode does the installation of Windows in about 25 minutes. The System is instabile Blue Screens "Memory_Manager" I did several tests with my Ram with memory diagnostic programs, the results of the tests errors in memory.
Under the legacy Bios 1.74 proceeded to install Windows Vista and Windows 7 correctly and in the normal time frame. The loading of the Windows Setup files "Windows is loading files into memory did not last longer than a minute the rest of the installation 20 minutes. Both in the IDE, AHCI and RAID0 mode. Access to the RAID Bios with the keyboard works flawlessly. Diagnostic tests of memory real flawlessly. The system is running properly and stable.

Hello!
The problem I had with UEFI Click Bios 1.43 my system can not use.
A UEFI installation of Windows from the UEFI shell is not possible neither in IDE, AHCI or RAID mode, loading the Windows setup files in the RAM more than 90 minutes after discontinuation of the installation disk partitioning with bluescreen. An installation in bios emulation mode while the system is very unstable faults in RAM, often with a system crash.
At 19.06 I was at the Customer Service Support by MSI changed
In response, I received at 20.06 that a test is made.
At 02.07 I update miy BIOS with the latest legacy Bios 1.74 to check if the problem still persists
(Under Bios 1.74 proceeded to install Windows Vista and Windows 7 correctly and in the normal time frame.

Access to the RAID Bios with the keyboard works flawlessly. Diagnostic tests of memory real flawlessly. The system is running properly and stable.) The Problem is UEFI Click Bios 1.43
At 14.07 I received a final response from MSI:Quote
1.For the EFI bios is only for ERP 020 for thr hardware design and at the same time,the original bios of 010(your motherboard version) is legacy bios.
2.If U insist to use EFI bios and please feed back the issue to your reseller direcly because that we could find the same memory as your's indeed.And the reseller will help you or ask MSI HQ for help.Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
This answer I do not quite
An answer to my question whether the error was reproducibly remained unanswered
1. Is there a P45D3 Platinum with ERP 020 (ms 7513-020) available?
2. How can I Windows Vista 64 with SP1 or Windows 7 RC from the UEFI-shell to correctly install?
3. Is My Memory compatible with UEFI Click Bios V.1.43?

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?

Audigy 2 platinum faceplate issue

!audigy 2 platinum faceplate issue: im sorry if there has been a similar question before, i have been search for 2 or 3 hours for a solution to my problem to no avail. this problem has been going on for months i just haven't had time to look into it. i have the audigy 2 platinum model number sb0240/sb0250, and my faceplate essems to have no power, the optical ports have no light inside, i've checked my cables multiple times, tried reinstalling drivers(could not find a driver for my specific model and didn't recieve a disk with my computer), looking for broken on damaged conections on the boards, and have had no luck. it also seems as though the ports don't show up in the volume controls. is there redemtion for my face plate or should i start shopping for a replacement, and is there a way to just buy the faceplate(funds are kind of low this month)

? I guess Creative doesn't care about living up to the promise that their product is upgradeable as new technologies emerge such as VISTA. They were give plenty of warning, that it was coming out, and it has been out for some time. I guess the $700AUS I spent is down the tubes, because the lazy people at creative cannot be bothered to bring it into compatibility - AS PROMISED with "peace of mind" they said. There is no way that I will acti'vely tell people how good creative is any more. In fact I will be acti've in just the opposite.
Get of your backsides and support AS PROMISED, we deserve it, instead of giving us second rate partial compatibilities. I have wasted the best part of a week trying to get it all sorted, where do I send the bill for my time? Hvae I got sour grapes? No, I just expect decent support as promised.
I issue the challenge - ?Provide decent support and I will retract. Fair is fair. I PROMISE.

Memory upgrade on P45D3 Platinum

Hello,
I currently use the following configuration:
- P45D3 Platinum motherboard
- Intel Core2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.175GHz
- 2x 1Gb Corsair CM3X1024-1333C9DHX 9-9-9-24
- ATI Radeon HD3650
- Bios v1.6
- Windows XP SP3
- no overclocking
I would like to upgrade to 4Gb (the purpose of this upgrade is to use Windows 7 on my PC)
My first idea is to buy 2 additional modules (2x 1Gb) of the same Corsair memory parts and to plug them on the 2 remaining slots of the motherboard.
But, according to the test report on memories for P45D3 Platinum found on MSI site, only the configuration with 2x 1Gb Corsair CM3X1024-1333C9 has been tested.
Should I understand that plugging 4 of these Corsair modules does not work on P45D3 Platinum?
Is anybody using P45D3 Platinum with 4x 1Gb Corsair modules (same modules than the ones I use)?
The alternative solution is to buy 2x 2Gb memory modules (one of those listed on the test report) but it will be more expensive.
Can anyboby help me to choose the right configuration?
Thank you
Best regards
Didier

Have you considered installing the 32-bit version of Windows 7? 2GB RAM should be fine with that version. If you buy the retail version of Windows 7 you should get both the 32-bit and 64-bit discs.
You'll be able to run 4 x 1GB modules as the motherboard supports the following:
• Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600* (OC) DRAM, 8GB Max
It may not have been tested in the report but it should in theory be fine.

Well, you should check that first. It does not make much sense to keep trying things if you are unsure if the drives are even operable.

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.

I just updated the software on my iPad and now I cannot update my Aps or install new ones. I ran a diagnostic and that resulted in "power issue." It wouldn't let me select what my options were. Any ideas?

Don't know where to get help. I just updated the software and I am having issues with not being able to update Aps or install new ones. The circles just spin and Aps just say "waiting." I tried running a diagnostic with the apple store and it came back with "power issues" (?) as a result. It wouldn't let me select an option to see what steps I could take to fix it, it just backed out of the page. I just don't know what to do.....

Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done.
