P55m-GD45 with G.Skill issues

Hi everybody !
I'm looking for help, because I'm actually using a MSI P55M-GD45 motherboad with G.Skill memory. Unfortunately, operating systems I'm trying to run are sometimes unstable. To be more precise, the first boot is frenquently unstable... some various issues may occur... like weird graphical artefacts or crashing applications. OS is sometimes crashing too.
Memory stress tests had not revealed anything wrong, but I'm still thinking of a RAM related problem.
Bios is set to autoconfiguration, since I'm not able to make choices about ram without being sure there are harmless for hardware. I really don't want to brick anything.
Here are screenshots of CPU-Z results concerning my PC : if anyone could be kind enough to help me, I'll be sooooo grateful !
thanx.

Issue with re-skilling agents in bulk

We tried to re-skill about 30 agents in bulk and change the competence level at the same time. Uccx took the change but, we noticed that agents were in a ready state even with calls were in the queue.
We went back and one by one re-skilled them again and at that point I'm told it worked...agents received calls.
Anyone ever had any issues with re-skilling agents in bulk?
We are on UCCX 8.5.1 SU3
Thanks,
Dan

P55M-GD45: VCore cannot be decreased

Having this strange issue: vcore can only be increased.
Also strangely when increasing, the next value after "auto" is not the vcore but just the increment amount itself, eg. 0,006 -> 0,012 ...
So for example under default settings (FSB 133), CPU Specifications says vcore is 1.224V. Then moving down to vcore setting and looking to the right, there is a list with actual, min and max vcore and it says 0.000, 0.000 and the normal value for max respectively. And as mentioned, no way to lower the vcore value.
At higher FSB, vcore is raised automatically and again no chance to lower it by myself.
All other voltages are adjustable and shown (on the right side) correctly.
Any suggestions!? - driving me crazy!
Thank you!
P55M-GD45 Bios 1.4

My i7 rig is with a socket 1156 board, an Asus P7P55D mobo, and an 860 CPU. I know the Corsair DDR3 memory @ its stock 1.65v simply doesn't run at 1600mhz like it says on its box - 1333mhz seems to be its stability wall.
I upgraded my Q6600 and Asus P5B deluxe rig because so many people said to never consider overclocking on an editing rig. Was that over-cautious advice?

P55M GD45 experience; only 1.1 bios works, forum usb key boot didn't work, Win 7

My experience. Got board w/ 1.1 BIOS installed, installed Win 7 64-bit. Used LiveUpdate to flash BIOS to 1.5.
Then box froze at "Starting Windows" screen. However it would boot ok to Safe Mode, and also Safe Mode with Networking. It wouldn't boot to Knoppix, Ubuntu LiveCD, ... (In Windows 7, I spent hours trying stuff, did boot logging, turned off startup services, piles of stuff, but didn't seem to be getting anywhere...)
Tried using the Forum USB Key boot for BIOS flashing. Couldn't get it to boot, just got black blank screen with cursor. (Could this be because board doesn't support 98/ME?)
Finally figured out the M-Flash option, and tried 1.4, which gave same results as 1.5. Then went back to 1.1 and that got my Win 7 booting again ok. Then tried 1.2 and that gave same result as 1.4/1.5 (screen freezing), so went back to 1.1.
Later tested out HP USB key booter and that worked for me, though I didn't end up using it for anything, since I went with the M-Flash.
I was hoping that this new board would help me have better eSATA (hot-swappable/recognizable), than my previous setup but it's actually worse. With my old setup, I could plug in an eSATA drive, then Add Hardware, and the drive would be recognized by Win (XP). With this new setup, eSATA drives only get recognized if I have them connected and on before I boot up my box. Not good. Also, the BIOS has a tendency to prioritize the eSATA's before the regular SATA's in boot order, which seems weird.
Anyone else have any experiences like this? Any suggestions on moving towards a BIOS upgrade and more eSATA functionality (ideally without spending another 12 hours on it )
Thanks for reading and in advance for any suggestions!!

No problem with the last bios 1.1.
!!!!! Totaly unstable with the last bios 1.5 !!!
I read your solution about reinstalling the OS after a bios update (that's the first
time that I read it and I owned something as 15 motherboards in the last 10 years...but
you have 20k post so I think that you know what you write...)
So I tried to REINSTALL after "upgrade" of the firmware 1.5 of the MSI P55M-GD45.
I did it with a USB KEY....not [email protected] with defaults values !
The only thing to do is downgrade the bios in 1.1 and now no problem @ 3.8 GHz !!!
WHY IS THIS BIOS SO unstable ?
What will MSI do ?
I have never had a so unstable motherboard after a bios upgrade !

OCing won't work - P55M-GD45

Hey, got my new P55M-GD45. Has a bunch of OCing features and has gotten many good reviews. Most every review I have read about it has mentioned that the board overclocked extremely easily and was very stable.
All I want is a very slight to modest OC. The first thing I want to do is at least get my DDR3 1600 to run @ 1600 speed. I know JDEC specs DDR3 up to 1333 and that you have to manually set it for most motherboards. So I try to do it the simple way and try setting the XMP profile. It shows the adjusted speed at 1600 and then I reboot. Doesn't work, have to clear CMOS to get anywhere again.
I have read of people using the EXACT same RAM as me and the EXACT same motherboard and they were able to set the XMP to "enable" and it automatically ran their RAM @ 1600 speed. The stock voltage is 1.5v and it's rated to run 1600 at 1.5v. Everything I read, people are running these stable at 1.5v at the rated 1600 speed.
I have tried messing with the Base Clock. I upped it to 160 (from 133) to have them run @ 1600 (I lowered the CPU multiplier so the CPU would still run at the stock speed of 2.9GHz). Doesn't work. Have to clear CMOS to get back to working condition.
I have disabled "Spread Spectrum" and the "Overdrive Protection" options in the BIOS because it says to in the manual if you plan on OCing. I have also done it with them on.
I don't get why this motherboard won't hold VERY slight and simple overclocks. Overclocks that aren't even really overclocks, just bringing up some RAM to run at the speed it is built to run at, and has run at for many other people on this board.
I am using BIOS v1.5 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I have read in a few places that BIOS v1.5 doesn't work well with OCing. But when I try to run BIOS v1.4, it won't boot with both sticks of RAM. It will boot with each stick separately so I know it's not the sticks (They both also passed hours of memtest). Would really like to use 1.4 and see if that let's me OC. Would be even better to get XMP to work with 1.5 though.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any tips. My build is in my signature.

I doubt that. What is the the model number of your memory?
1. The memory controller is inside the processor, not part of the board and according to Intel Specifications, it support up to DDR3-1333 memory modules only.
2. The Chips used on your modules are built according to JEDEC Specifications but the ratings G.Skill advertises are most probably not.
So basically you are overclocking both the memory controller/bus and the memory chips. And that causes problems in many cases.
Here is a link to my memory on Newegg --> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277
Going through the reviews, people mention the P55M-GD45 a few times and mention how easy it was to just set the XMP profile to enable for it to work as advertised. Now most of those people have an i5, I'm pretty sure I have seen this work in an i3 system though too. I have even seen people run this RAM at 1700+ with very minor volt increases. But for my purposes, 1.5v @ 1600 is very very possible with these and this board.
Of course, anything over 1333 is technically an overclock. But it's an extremely common and safe one that any board that supports minor OCing should accept with ease.

Anyway, can you post a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" view and the "Memory" view?
The reason my RAM is running @ 642.5 MHz is because I tried OCing the Base Clock one after disabling "C-State" in the BIOS, since I read that helps with OCing somewhere, especially since the memory controller is on the CPU itself. Here's a pic of that...
It shows my Base Clock at 160, and that should have put my RAM to 1600 but it didn't. It's running my CPU OC'd to 3.2 from 2.9 though and every thing is smooth so far. Going to try XMP with the C-State turned off now.

P55M-GD45 Memory Help

I5 750 (stock Cooler)
Gskill DDR3 1600 F3-12800CL7D-4GBRH
P55M-GD45 (latest BIOS)
I noticed after enabling XMP in the BIOS so the memory will run at 7-7-7-24 that the CPU frequency went from 133 to 160 I guess to get 1600 for the memory. I turned the Multiplier down to 17 to get 160X17=2.72ghz for the CPU. When it posted I noticed it said 160X17 2.72Ghz then a couple of lines down it said somethng like "OS SYSTEM 3.2Ghz".
I ran a few tests and found that with XMP enabled (CPU-Z) I was getting 3.8Ghz on a single core at 100% and 3.2Ghz whan all 4 cores were at 100%. I would get up to 80C and the VCore would hit 1.314.
With XMP turned off bois set to 133X20=2.66 CPU=Z says 133X21=2.72(four cores at 100% 63C and 1.232 Vcore) and 133X24=3.2(single core 100%)
Why does the system seem to ignore the multiplier with XMP enabled?
Can I change settings in the BIOS so the CPU runs closer to 2.66-2.8 with four cores at 100% and the memory timing at 7-7-7-24?

You cannot overclock individual threads, as these are pretty much virtual entities, not physical cores.
I meant to say, I wish turbo boost could be adjusted so the freq/multiplier would run at 3.8 on a single thread and 4
threads would run 2.8.
I tried several different combinations of XMP and Turbo on and off. In the end I decided XMP off and Turbo on will work best most
of the time. I think I could have saved $30 and just bought DDR3-1333 memory.
At Idle system 32C 60watts.
XMP off/Turbo off (133X20=2.66)

The I5 chip doesn't have the same memory multiplier as I7, so when you enable XMP for a 1600 profile the BIOS crank up the CPU multiplier to 160 and overclock the CPU heavily - that's the only way the BIOS can get the I5 to due the job!
There are several ways to get around this, and I have tried to get time to make a tutor about this. For now, just leave the multiplier at 17, or disable turbo mode and set it to 19 or 20, and you are on.
And - disable the OC in the BIOS, as it really can screw everything up.

P55m GD45 PCIe Question

I have a P55m GD45 board with a Cooler Master V6 cooler cooling a i7 870 (oc 3.7ghz)
It covers the the top PCIe slot so I have my Ati 6870 in the second PCIe slot.
Does it matter if i have the gfx card in the second PCIe slot?
Reason is that im not getting the kind of performance I sort of expected in games.
I have to run games at medium to high. Bad company2 nets about 55 fps with every thing on high no vsync.
BF3 beta with 11.9 drivers every thing on medium nets about 30 to 60 fps no vsync low AA.
So trying to figure out if I should get a new motherboard or upgrade to a GTX 580.

Ok so with a bit of messing about I managed to squeeze the gfx card into the top slot, wow is all i can say.
PC is running like a monster now.

My wife's brand new iphone4 (which was a replacement for a 4month-old iphone4 with home button issues) is not recognized by itunes. Every other ios device on the computer/Apple ID in question is recognized and syncs perfectly. Any suggestions?

If the new phone has already been setup, make sure the phone and iTunes are both set to the same account.
You might also have to authorize this computer for the new device under the store menu.

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.

What is the best way to deal with memory leak issue in sql server 2008 R2.
I have heard of memory leak in OS that too because of some external application or rouge drivers SQL server 2008 R2 if patched to latest SP and CU ( may be if required) does not leaks memory.
Are you in opinion that since SQL is taking lot of memory and then not releasing it is a memory leak.If so this is not a memory leak but default behavior .You need to set proper value for max server memory in sp_configure to limit buffer pool usage.However
sql can take more memory from outside buffer pool if linked server ,CLR,extended stored procs XML are heavily utilized

Virtual desktop template creation with UR1 - two issues

There are two new issues affecting Virtual Desktop template creation with WMS 2012 with UR1.
Issue #1: Some systems fail to create a new or customized virtual desktop template with UR1 applied. UR1 includes an updated MultiPoint Connector which is compatible with a UR1 host. The Connector gets included in the Virtual Desktop template
so that the virtual desktops can be managed by MultiPoint Dashboard. On some systems installation of the UR1 Connector will require a reboot that takes too long to complete and template creation will timeout.
If you try to create a template without doing the following update to the unattend-t.xml file, and if the Connector reboot takes too long, the template creation process will never complete, appearing stuck at 80% until the timeout. If you check the running
Virtual Machine Connection, you will see an error message that Windows could not complete the installation.
To correct this:
From MultiPoint Manager or Hyper-V Manager, shutdown the running template VM.
Delete the template .vhd stored in Public Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual hard disks
3. a) Make a backup copy of
C:\Program Files\Windows MultiPoint Server\Unattend-t.xml
e.g. rename it .bak
b) open
C:\Program Files\Windows MultiPoint Server\Unattend-t.xml in your favorite text editor.
b) find “connector” in the file
c) replace this string (starts with <Path> and ends with </Path>)
<Path>powershell -Command "try { $process = Start-Process -FilePath '%Windir%\Temp\Connector\WmsConnector.Exe' -ArgumentList '/Quiet' -PassThru -Wait; } catch { throw 'WmsConnector
Install Failed'}; exit $process.ExitCode"</Path>
with this string
<Path>powershell -Command "try {
$p = Start-Process -FilePath '%Windir%\Temp\Connector\WmsConnector.Exe' -ArgumentList '/Quiet
/NoRestart' -PassThru -Wait; } catch { throw 'WmsConnector Install Failed'}; exit $p.ExitCode"</Path>
then save the file again as Unattend-t.xml
d) Proceed with Create and Customize virtual desktop template, and Create virtual desktop station as described on our blog at
Virtual Desktop Templates – Part
1 & Part 2
We continue to investigate why this issue occurs on some machines and not others
Issue #2: UR1 was intended to fix an issue creating virtual desktop templates on true UEFI systems, i.e. systems that don’t fall back to legacy support for earlier BIOS services. UR1 did not solve the issue. For now we are recommending
doing template creation on systems that do fall back to legacy BIOS services. To check: from Device Manager under Disk Drives select your system hard drive. Double click and go to the Volumes tab and click Populate. The Partition Style entry should
be Master Boot Record (MBR). If it is GPT you have a UEFI system.
We continue to investigate fixing this for UEFI systems.

Any word on a UEFI fix? My instructions on the other thread seem to work for me.
Also, I imagine this won't be an issue on the next version of MultiPoint Server since the next Hyper-V in Server 2012 R2 now has those native UEFI VM's. Have you guys played around with that yet? Also, FWIW, I'm not sure why the pre-release docs
mention that UEFI is only supported on Windows 8 VM's. Why not x64 Windows 7 and Vista SP1 VM's? I thought those already support full UEFI boot. Is it because Hyper-V has mandatory restrictions to have Secure Boot turned on for UEFI VM's?

For those with pixel rendering issues and slowness issues

For anyone who doesnt know these little details when designing in Catalyst, I thought I would share and hopefully ease some peoples frustrations. Lets kick off with pixel issues.
You have either vector, raster, or components that are either: not aligning with everything else around it, even though it has the same X/Y value, the rounded corners of a rectangle vector object are distorted, or anything else you have experienced with pixel distortion or pixels just not lining up properly. Here is the issue. When you drag and drop an object from the library, wireframe components, or draw a new shape, it can have a decimal level pixel value. It does not say this in the property inspector though. So you may have a rectangle at a listed X/Y of 10,15 but it could actually be 10.3, 14.9. To fix this you have to type in a new value of at least 1 number higher or lower. Deleting the value and typing the same number in doesnt do anything. Neither does moving it with the arrow keys in hopes of it moving it to a whole pixel value. The arrow keys move by 1 pixel (or 10 if holding down shift). This should take care of most of your problems.
Now you may still have problems with the corners of rounded rectangles if you converted it to an Optimized Vector Graphics. For you Flash Pro users, from what I can tell, using "Optimize Vector Graphics" is basically the same as (in Flash) converting a vector shape into a MovieClip and in the property inspector, checking the "Cache as Bitmap" box. That option has Flash create a bitmap version of the vector shape so that it will not be re-drawn every frame, which is what the Flash player does with vector objects. So because it is converting your vector into raster, it kinda has issues with rounded corners when you have a stroke on the shape and pretty much only if you have a stroke. If you take the stroke off, and use Optimize Vector Graphics, you shouldn't have that problem anymore. But what if you needed that stroke? Simple, duplicate that shape, change its fill color to what you want the "stroke" color to be, increase its size by 2 pixels on the width and height for every number of thickness that you wanted with the stroke, and then set the X/Y of the "stroke" rectangle to a pixels less for whatever the "thickness" of your stroke is.
Example:
Rectangle - width:20, height:10, desired stroke thickness:2, X:10, Y:10
Rectangle Stroke - width: 24, height:14, X:8, Y:8
Rectangle - width:100, height:30, desired stroke thickness:1, X:15, Y:27
Rectangle Stroke - width:102, height:32, X:14, Y:26
It wont look perfect but its pretty close if you do this and then draw a rectangle beside it with a real stroke. And if you still want to use Optimize Vector Graphics on it, just group the two rectangles together and then use Optimize on the group and no more distorted corners. This also applies to vector shapes in Flash Pro.
Lastly to talk about the slowness of Catalyst. You may or may not have read the posts from Adobe employees, but I can tell you that having fewer states helps with the responsiveness of it, but so does using the Optimize Vector Graphics as much as possible. I am working in a large scale project, and just from me converting all my vector background shapes, which was around 13 used across 6 main states, it helped significantly with Catalyst being more responsive for me.
Hoped this long post helped some people with any similar issues you might be having.

I noticed with my Charge phone that when I get a call the FIRST ring is highly muted (quite soft) and then all rings after that are full volume.
I wish that even the first ring was load (full volume) but I accept the fact that that is how GB 2.3.6 works. Anyone know how to change this?

Outlook with Exchange connection issues

I am implementing a security policy which includes blocking all outbound traffic on the firewall of our network (Except normal 80, 443 etc). It seems
that if I apply this, some users aren't able to connect to exchange. This appears to be related to Outlook Anywhere. What ports would I need to allow to prevent this connection issue?

Hi
As per the information and details provided by you, to solve the Outlook with Exchange connection issues, Please follow these steps: -
Microsoft introduced
RPC over HHTP as a better way for Outlook client to connect to Exchange. The MAPI connections still use RPCs, but they encapsulate those with an HTTP connection. Since that HTTP connection is secured using SSL, it is may be
more accurate to call it RPC over HTTPS. These connections only require connectivity
over TCP port 443, which as you know is assigned to HTTPS and is normally open by
firewall admin for web servers.
Outlook Anywhere wraps
Remote Procedure Calls inside an HTTP layer to allow connectivity with the Exchange server. This simplifies the firewall administration process requiring only
the SSL port 443 to be opened to the CAS (Client Access Server) instead of several ports to the actual Mailbox Server (MBX).
I hope this information will be helpful for you.
Thanks and regards
