P55-GD65 Problem Freezes / Shuts Down unexpextedly

Hi all,
I've recently received a replacement P55-GD65 part for my pc upgrade. The first mobo was broken but I'm not sure wether the current one is any better.
I have a freezing problem with my set up. After I power up it goes to post and lauches windows. However, within 5 to 10 minutes the system just shuts down on its own. Sometimes this happens already in BIOS when I've been looking around for a solution for some time.
After power down pressing the power button doesn't help. I have to disconnect power cord from PSU and wait a bit before reconnecting for the power button to work again.
I've been reading other posts and people have the similar problems, but none of the solutions have resolved my problem.
I've tried putting OC genie on - no solution.
I've tried using only 1 memory - no solution. and yes I've taken the memories out and reincerted them.
I've tried setting BIOS to optimized defaults - no solution.
I've tried setting memory speed down from Geil automatic 1333MHz to 1060MHz - no solution.
I've tried setting memory voltage up from Geil automatic 1,5V to 1,6V - no solution.
I've tried taking CPU out and replaced it in the socket - no solution.
I've updated Intel drivers from MSI website.
I've updated other drivers from the CD that came with the mobo.
BIOS version is 1.3
There has been a lot of discussion about corsair memory modules but none about the GEIL ones I have. Has anyone experience with the memory I have? According to MSI website P55-GD65 is tested with a dual setup of 2g Geil memory that I have, and should be ok.
Can anyone lend a hand so that I can get my pc running. This has by far been the most troublesome upgrade for me.
Thanks for replies!

TheManitee, 1st you hijack this thread demanding help and you don't even have the same MB & other parts. Please start your own new topic instead of hijacking another persons.  >> Please read and comply with the Forum Rules <<     >> Posting Guide <<
To me it looks like not a single one of you has bothered to up date BIOS which has over time had numerous memory compatibility fixes.
 Update BIOS, get Crucial RAM.

I am not able to update the bios because my pc would crash before allowing me to. I asked MSI to update the BIOS before sending the board to me.

  • MBP freezes, shuts down, restarts, repeats after log in

    Late 2007 MBP recently upgraded to Yosemite started freezing, shutting down by itself, and then restarting by itself.  I log in, and within anywhere from 10 seconds to 3 minutes after my screen fully loaded, repeats this.  120 gig hard drive is way full.  So pretty sure that is part of problem.  Has been sluggish for weeks.  Have about 18 gigs free.  Attempting to move things off but it won't stay on long enough to do this.
    This morning I managed to access Disk Utilities for repair upon start up, but I was trying different keystrokes to do this. (Posed question for proper keys to do this in another post, but feel free to answer here.)  It performed disk repair and showed all the steps it took.  Two items appeared in red:
    Incorrect number of file hard links
    Orphaned file inode (id = 35716717)
    Then in green:
    The Volume MacIntosh HD was repaired successfully.
    A couple of lines farther down appeared:
    Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
    By this time the timer status showing the repair taking place was gone and I didn't do anything for about ten minutes.  Then I restarted, but the problem has continued. While doing this I was offline.

    I forgot to add that right after the note that the HD was repaired successfully appeared:
         File system check exit code is 0.

    my hp pavilion dv1000 (1615ts) has an overheating problem and shuts down suddenly.  please help..

    with that age of laptop we immediately suspect an issue with dust clogging the exhaust fan or the thermal compound between the heatsink and fan breaking down and needing to be replaced. The laptop needs to be opened and inspected in other words.

    Have you clicked on the Safari icon in the dock and seen if 'Force Quit' is displayed?

  • Mid 2012 13" i5 Macbook Pro Screen Freeze, Shut Down, 3 Beeps!

    Hi guys, my macbook recently started freezing and then shutting down giving 3 beeps afterward. I know 3 beeps is traditionally RAM, but here is a picture of my screen when it freezes. Do you think its GPU and logic board problem or is it really the RAM? Maybe something else? Anyways would love some feedback, going to take it in to the Geek Squad as it still should be covered with a 1 year warranty since I purchased it in February of this year.

    I will be taking it in next week, just wanted to have an idea of what it is. This is my second Macbook pro, my first I have had to get fixed 6 or 7 times in a couple years but Apple and Bestbuy wouldn't replace it, even though the first problem happened during the 1 year warranty... After the last time we had it fixed they finally gave me a big discount on another one, but now this one is having problems... I thought MacBooks were supposed to be very reliable! I am not hard on them at all, never been dropped once, not even a scratch on them. I don't get it. Would still like to hear some more thoughts, especially if you have seen a screen like this one! Thanks!

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro Freezes & Shuts Down - I need help.

  • No sound device...and problems to shut down...

    a friend of mine kicked by mistake my Mac and after that I lost the sound device...even though it runs sometimes...it got character I guess...
    and it also doesn't shut down sometimes and freezes...so I have to turn it off taking out the battery...
    that's the solution I found...but I might have a problem...
    can some one help me?
    what is best to do?
    Thanks

    Did all these problems start with the trauma to the iBook from your friend's foot, or were they already there to some degree? Especially the freezing? If you were already having problems, the accidental kick may have just served to make them worse.
    There are some general things that you could try. You could find the set of CD's that originally came with your iBook and find and run the Apple Hardware Test and see if anything comes up in the form of an error code. You could try resetting the PMU. You could go to Disk Utility and verify both permissions and the disk and repair if necessary. You could check and see how much free space remains on your hard drive.
    Freezing could be software or hardware related. Because of the trauma to your machine, it may well be hardware. Nevertheless, it is well to do a little hard drive maintenance and software troubleshooting just to be sure that software is not a factor here.
    Please post back with how it went with the AHT and DU and resetting the PMU.
    Also, you can apply pressure to the lower left side of your iBook and see if this makes any difference.
    Good luck!

  • Static/crackling freezes/shuts down Toshiba L300 (already cleaned fan/heat sink)

    Was slightly intermittent but pretty much unable to use the computer at this point. The only clues I can give is that there seemed to be 2 errors about usb so wondering if that could cause the static build up that freezes the computer? One was on shut down and the other was after static started and it seemed to be trying to grab a driver (for usb I think) almost as though the device disappeared but then the laptop froze. It wasn't too long ago one of three ports wasn't working but they all work recently (don't recall which one quit for a bit).
    Unfortunately I need to fix it myself due to finances. How do I physically disconnect all the usb ports to rule them out? I probably did this when I took out the motherboard to clean the fan/heat sink but I don't know for sure which connection(s) they were.
    If I'm way off please provide other suggestions. I REALLY appreciate any help given. 

    first off, please provide the entire model number of your computer.  It is printed on the bottom.  do not provide s/n.
    Do you have a backup of all your personal data?  If not, I would say that should be your priority at this point. 
    After that has been dealt with, the next question is "did you make restore disks when computer was still working?" 
    Can you get into recovery menu (spamming f8 on start up).  If so, try going into safe mode and restoring the computer to a restore point at a point in time before the problems started. 
    When you cleaned fan/heat sink, did you reseat the heatsink.  If not, you may want to open it back up and reseat the heatsink (i.e., remove old thermal paste and reapply).

  • Screen Freezes/Shut Downs

    More and more often, my screen will freeze up during a video/game and will lock up the computer. Yet I can still hear the sound, just no movement on the screen. I have to manually shut down the computer or standby and refresh it to correct this issue. Could it be some kind of virus?

    Hi Frickel and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
    When you post for advice, could you please indicate which Mac you have too. The more we know, the better to help you.
    There are no known Mac virus at this time, so I sincerely doubt that.
    At this point, just to start trouble shooting, use your system restore disk(s) to check the drive for any potential problems.
    "Try Disk Utility
    Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    Click the First Aid tab.
    Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    Select your Mac OS X volume.
    Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    Quit Disk Utility from the Menu, then click Utilities/Startup Disk. When the window opens, select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.

  • Msi Neo4-Fi Temperature Freeze/Shut down

    I have the following motherboard: MSI Neo4-Fi 
    The system was working fine for 2 months. Now the temperature is instantly increases 10-15 C after starting the PC-Mark test, and increases more in this great heat.
    The computer stops on 65-70 C. Everest measure at aux temp 78C, what is this?
    I have checked the cooling, and changed it two times.
    The computer is on 52 C at start in bios.
    Memtest and ghost freezes too after the start.
    The computer contains the following particles:
    MSI Neo4-Fi
    Athlon 64 3200+ E6 Rev. Stock cooler
    Chenbro Gaming Bomb Case  (1*12cm, 2*8cm fan)
    MSI 7600GS VGA Card (Idle temp 36C)
    2x512MB Corsair Value Select PC3200
    Chieftec 410W PSU (Delta Construction)
    WD 320GB Sata HDD
    Plextor Pata DVD+-RW
    Could This be a Motherboard failure ??!??

    forget about the fan blowing on the mobo, it doesn't lower the CPU temperature. you will have to take the heatsink and fan off the CPU, make sure that the plastic foil doesn't cover the thermal compound. clear whatever thermal paste is left on the CPU and heatsing and reapply a thin layer of thermal paste (arctic silver 5 is prefered). put the heatsink back on the CPU, and make sure that you connect the CPU fan to the mobo.
    with 40C in the room, my winchester would never go higher than 52C, overclocked and under full load, with the stock cooling, so you definately have a problem there. if the computer freezes or shuts down, it is because of the thermal sensor from the CPU.

  • MSI P55-GD65 problem

    Computer is new, hardware bought via internet. After first run everything was good - no problems, but when I tried to install Windows XP appeared an error (unfortunately I didn't type down what exactly was written on screen), something like an  error or failure of BIOS components. The installation was interrupted and after next start I heard one short - beep.  After few seconds I see black screen and I can't do nothing.
    I tried to run a computer with a single RAM card, and was trying to change it's location - but with no result.
    My computer:
    MSI P55-GD65
    Core i5 750
    PowerColor Radeon HD4870

  • P55-GD65 BIOS FREEZE

    Hi!
    Ive been running my P55-GD65 for almost an year no with only the problem of "dual-booting" I turn computer on it turns itself off and then it goes on again and works normally, that has something to do with overclocking and I have the TURBO on with my i5 so I didnt mind that, and the another "problem" was that I couldnt reboot computer normally I had to turn it off and turn on again because I have the memory set to 1T.
    But today, the computer freezed on BIOS after detecting hard drives. When I turned the computer off and on again it worked normally, but it dual-booted. (Dual-booting happens like 1/4)
    ""Press DEL to Bios and F11 to Boot menu 0085 0087 "" was the last text on the screen when it freezed.
    Should I start panicking? Or was it just some random freeze, because the temps here are pretty icy, CPU 30C and HDDs vary from 16 to 30C.
    Any ideas? Should I set the memory to 2T next time I boot?

    I see.
    http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=222 <- My memory.
    So, should I put the MHz back to 1333 and Command rate to 2T next time I boot?
    Yes, and run it at 9-9-9-24 1.5v.
    Disconnect that Seagate hard drive and see if you have any problems still. Looks like that drive could be failing though. A failing hard drive can certainly cause problems on start-up.
