P67A-C43 B2 Constant reboot when memory in DIMM1

I just built a barebones kit consisting of:
MB: P67A-C43 B2
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 RX 750W Bronze
Proc: Core I7-2600 (unlocked)
Mem: (2) 2x4 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR-1600 (16 GB) 9-9-9-24
Cool: Corsair H60 Hydro
Vid: EVGA GTX 550 Ti
HD1: OCZ SSD 120
HD2: Seagate Barracuda LP 1 terrabyte
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium
(i have not overclocked yet)
I populated all 4 DIMMs but the system kept rebooting (would not post) every few seconds. After some experimentation i discovered that the system would post/boot fine as long as DIMM1 was empty. I could get it to work with 1, 2 and 3 sticks (currently running with 3 for 12 gig), but never when DIMM1 was populated. So as of now i was able to install the OS and all my other software, but i can't get the final 4 gig of memory (in DIMM1) to work.
One other odd thing is that the bios sees the DDR3-1600 memory as DDR3-1333, so it seems that the memory is not being correctly determined. I am wondering if that is connected to my DIMM1 issue...?
btw I have updated the bios/etc.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

1333 is the default & native speed of the Sandy Bridge platform. As for dimm 1 not working, it is most likely a bent pin in the CPU socket. Can also be uneven torque pressure on the CPU cooler.

P67A-C43 / Windows 7 64-bit freezes when idle or during low activity

Greetings,
I've seen a few similar topics regarding freezes when idle or near-idle, but the troubleshooting steps I've tried don't seem to work. My P67A-C43 with an Intel 2500K Core i5 is not overclocked. It is repeatedly freezing in Windows 7 64-bit. It also did this when I was running Vista 64-bit. I also have Mac OS X Lion on this PC, and I never get freezes under OS X. This appears to be something related to how Windows interacts with idling or lower-power states. But I can't figure out what.
I have tried this with windows on a mechanical HDD and with the current SSD - no change.
I have tried running just one RAM module at a time - they both individually exhibit the behavior.
I have tried switching graphics cards from a GeForce 6500 GT to the current Radeon HD 6850 - no change.
I have tried switching power supplies from an Inland Gold 500W to the current OCZ 650W - no change.
I have tried switching from Intel SVID to APS mode stepping - no change.
I have tried switching C-States off - the system didn't freeze, but it got VERY hot under no load. Without C-states turned on, the CPU temperatures quickly reach 95C to 98C.
I've got the latest BIOS, the latest drivers, and everything else I can think of. Any more ideas?

WOW do I feel silly.
I opened the case to take a good look at the processor cooling, and found that the fan/heatsink assembly was not snapped in on one of the posts. The pre-applied thermal paste was only flattened on one side of the copper contacts for the heatsink.
I re-attached and snapped it all back in, and now my BIOS temperature reading is about 55C, whether C-State is on or off. In Windows without much of a load, it was 40-45C with C-States off, and 33-45C with C-States on.
What I've learned:
- double check your connections
- C-States is an amazingly effective system
- Intel makes some darn tough chips. They'll work (sort of) even if you install them wrong.
I'm still not sure if the freezing is fixed - I don't know how long I've been running without a proper heat sink. I'll leave it idling overnight (It's 23:30 here now), and see if it freezes.
Thanks for the help, guys. This is a nice forum.

Kt3 ultra reboots when 1gb ddr memory is installed

My kt3 ultra mb reboots when more than 1gb ddr pc2100 samsung memory is installed. boots through when 1 512mb ddr is installed or 1 - 512mb ddr - 1 - 256 mb ddr - I want to put all (3) 512mb ddr for a total of 1.5GB but always reboots. Im running 98se o/s. I even tried win2000 and also xp home?? Any suggestions. ?? Please help??

WIN 9X will recognize more than 512 MB ram but doesnt know what to do with it.XP or 2000 should run any amount your board can take. I seem to remember from a forum, either here or AMDMB.com or HardOCP that with this board you should do 2 sticks in the first and 3rd slot. I also seem to remember that this board was one of the few that Anand at Anandtech reviewed that ran ok with all 3 slots filled with memory.I can run my Samsung PC 2700 at cas 2 fast settings with 1T command disabled all day long.With 1T enabled it's reboot city.Double check your settings with the setup sticky at the beginning of this forum.Maybe try other memory? Good luck

MSI P67A-C43 (B3) USB not working but theres a twist! Help!

:lol_anim:I Have built a new rig with the MSI P67A-C43 (B3) Motherboard, 16GB DDR3 PC3-10600 1333MHz Memory (4GB x 4), Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz 6M LGA1155 Processor, 550 Watt 80 PLUS Bronze Power Supply,24x DVDRW, 3.5" Internal Card Reader with 2 USB ports, 500GB 7200RPM 3.5" SATA Hard Drive(which i plan on upgrading just didnt want to waste money on the shitty HD they had.....
So down to the nitty gritty . My computer is running Windows 7 64 Bit, i have downloaded all of the updates and all of the Chip-set drivers, Bios, etc... i ran a system registry tool to clean up any errors in my registry and i have ALL of my drivers up to date.
I have my USB mouse and keyboard that connect fine and are recognized by my computer, sometimes they stop working and start back up within seconds but windows does display any type of error or disconnection "this may have been fixed due to the registry cleaner i used i haven't had any hiccups yet" so i have my USB mouse and USB keyboard working fine and dandy now i think. got a new headset and the windows finds the USB Headset and it works Perfectly fine. BUT and this is where my whole frustration comes out. Whenever i connect my I-Pod Touch, I-Pod Nano, My Cell phone to copy files to from my SD Card, or my External My Passport drive Windows says "USB Device was not recognized" notification and in the Device manager it shows the one device with a yellow exclamation point and says "Unknown Device" I have tried to uninstall the USB hubs and reinstalled them perfectly restarted windows, still non of the devices work. i have tried making sure that windows tries not to turn off the device to save power, when i say i have tried almost everything i mean everything that is related with USB Device not Recognized. So i do not know what to do now, i have contacted the Manufacturer and they don't know squat about it or what could be causing it. the only thing i can think of is there is some hardware maybe that is not compatible i do hear some beeps when i start up i will have to come back and update how many beeps" i saw another post that it means the motherboard is trying to tell me something maybe this could be the issue. but i have tried every single usb port and non of them Recognize the device but when i plus in my mouse and keyboard in diff ports they still work so i am a bit confused. my last step is to return the computer to the manufacturer for a replacement or repair w/e i do not want to do this cause this should be working. my friend has almost the exact same MB and equipment and his works fine so i am getting a little frustrated with the issue Someone Pls Help me out. And yes i have tried turning off the computer, unplugging it and pressing the power button, and waiting like 1 Hour etc and still nothing. Drivers are Up-to-Date and Mother board bios and chip-set drivers are Up-to-Date as well. I hope someone knows or has an answer to help me out!

Yes the Bios is Up-to-Date and they are not plugged into the Blue USB 3.0 ports(x2). oh and forgot to mention already did a clean install again of Windows 7 64bit and still nothing. Im also wondering if the power supply is enough?? maybe?

P67A-c43: Boot Screen / Status Codes / 35-40 sec hang

I have a P67A-C43 motherboard. Everything's working fine, but when I boot, I get a black screen with a white underscore cursor blinking in the upper left and a code in the lower right of B4. It will stay that way for about 35 seconds, then the codes will quickly change 99 92 82 A3. The MSI splash screen will come up and then Window (7) will launch and 15 seconds later, I'm at the log-in screen. Is there anyway to speed this up? I admit, booting up in less than a minute is OK, but the fact that 40 seconds of it is waiting for the BIOS to load kills me.

You did not provide your system spec. >>Posting Guide<<
Without having that magic crystal ball I can only assume that it consists of the following:
P67A-C43
i5-2500K
2 x 4 GB Corsair DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9-24 1.50V Memory
Ultra V Series 500Watt ATX Power Supply
64GB Kingston SSD
1 TB HDD (not installed yet)
SATA DVD-ROM
XFX Radeon HD 6850 Black Edition
Can you confirm this and if this is your system, can you please advise what the amp rating is of the 12V rail on that PSU ? And do add a signature to your profile containing your system specs. Makes life easier for everyone.
What happens if you physically disconnect the SSD and only connect the HDD ?

Although there have been a few others. This one seemed to be a one off while trying to install Windows Updates)

The crashes seem to be at random, but most often they occur while browsing the internet. For example I can be watching movies or tv shows through XBMC for hours and it runs perfect. Then I'll load up an internet browser and it will crash not long after.
Although the last crash I had was while watching a TV Show in XBMC. My computer had not been on very long, and it was only 10 minutes into the show. Although I was running jdownloader in the background. I also have AVG 2012 Free Edition running permanently.
Things I've tried that didn't work:
I've disabled the USB3.0 drives and the problem still occured. I thought they might have been the issue as they cause my computer to freeze on boot or in the BIOS (or boot EXTREMELY slowly) when it's switched on. Although the second I switch it off everything continues as normal. Would like to fix this issue too, but compared to the BSOD it's really a nothing issue.
I've updated my video card, USB 3.0 and Ethernet drivers.
I've upped the voltage on the RAM (not by much).
I've fiddled with some of the Turbo etc. settings for CPU.
I updated to the most recent BIOS.
I switched web browsers. Originally I had Chrome and each crash seemed to happen while using it, so I went to Firefox and it didn't change at all.
I switched my RAM around (Blue slots to black and vice-versa)
Currently trying:
I've removed 2 sticks of RAM. When/if it crashes again I'll swap in the other two sticks. Unfortunately it can run for ages before it crashes, so it's hard to tell whether an attempted fix has worked until it crashes and I know for certain that it hasn't.
Im pretty sure RAM is the most likely cause of the problem. But the PC was running fine up until the last 3 weeks or so. I got a BSOD a few weeks back which seemed to be a one off. Then a week or so later another one. Now it's happening daily.. sometimes 3 or 4 times. I would google the codes back when they happened and was lead toward different possibilities.. which is why I tried Chrome, Drivers and unplugging USB devices. Although obviously RAM seemed to be the most common possibility.

When did you start to see this crashing start?
Try running >>Memtest86<< on the RAM individually.
Try to uninstall jdownloader.

MSI P67A-C43 (B3) & OCZ Vertex 3 VTX3-25SAT3 Issues

Chipset: Intel P67 (B3) RSD v10.6.0.1002
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit SP1
Let's start from the beginning: So I built my PC in July and ever since I've been having on and off BSODs with the Vertex 3 drive. Mostly they'll happen once a week. When I first built the machine my drive came with Firmware 2.06. I installed all the drivers from MSI's website as well as the latest Intel Rapid Storage Drivers. Eventually I flashed the SSD to 2.11 when it was released but still had similar issues. Hotplugging was enabled when I installed Windows 7 for the first time AND when I flashed to 2.11 from 2.06. Some members over on the OCZ boards stated this might have been the cause of the BSOD. Basically the PC froze, BSOD'd, restarted, and then the system couldn't detect the drive. I had to power the system down, remove the power cable, wait 10 seconds, re-connect the cable and power on the PC. After I did this Windows booted normally.
I received some advice on the OCZ forums to reset CMOS and leave hotplugging disabled. Then re-flash the drive to 2.11 with hotplugging disabled. Some members thought this would make the drive act like an internal drive, not an external drive. However, a week after doing this the same BSOD appeared. I've started from scratch last week by secure erasing the drive and re-installing Windows, but same issues. I noticed MSI released a new BIOS for my board in July. I have the one from April currently.
Is it worth upgrading my BIOS? The listed fixes don't say anything about SSDs.
I plan on trying this when I get home from work:
Quote from: Tony;676791
Going to keep this brief and to the point, this hack will force the 2 primary sata2 or sata3 ports on the motherboards to be designated Internal only...You can do this hack for all Intel chipsets from around ICH8 onwards in win7 and Vista.
You also need to make sure hotplugging is disabled in uefi/bios if your boards bios has the option(s) do this first before you do any of these regedits etc
1 Remove all traces of Intel drivers on your system, that means remove the management engine driver, the RST driver and the INF driver, you do this thru the programs and features option in control panel. I remove them all before I reboot, the system will automagically set you using the MSAHCI driver.
2 Now reboot, let win7 detect the ssd and reboot again.
3 now open a elevated command window (CMD with administrator privileges) and copy/paste the following...then hit enter.
Code: [Select]
reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci\Controller0\Channel0" /f /v TreatAsInternalPort /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001
Once you hit enter you can then add the following again using copy/paste.
Code: [Select]
reg.exe add "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\msahci\Controller0\Channel1" /f /v TreatAsInternalPort /t REG_DWORD /d 0x00000001
Hit enter and close CMD.EXE down, reboot
This will now force the 2 sata 3 ports to Internal only, this means they will apply LPM if you set it and will support Automatic Partial to slumber.
I now suggest you experiment with power schemes, for some high performance may work better than balanced...try both
You also need to make sure hotplugging is disabled in uefi do this first before you do any of these regedits etc
If you want to go a step further than this you can try the following...ONLY do this after you have done the steps above.
remove the SSD to start
1 create a temporary win7 install on a hdd, use the msahci driver and once installed do the hack to force the 2 ports to internal only. Have the hdd connected to port 1 on the motherboard.
2 once the install is ready and you have installed toolbox to it power down and connect the SSD to port 0
3 now boot to the HDD, use the manual boot menu option to make sure you are booting to the HDD and make sure hotplugging is OFF in UEFI
4 once in win7, flash the FW to the drive, when its finished flashing, close toolbox, reboot back to the HDD and back into win7...make sure the SSD is detected in my computer.
5 now power off, remove the HDD...then boot to UEFI and make sure to set the SSD as first boot device
6 Power up, boot to the SSD
Stay using the MSAHCI driver for now, do not install any INF, IME or RST drivers.
Edit 09/09/11
Had a few end users quoting disabling TRIM solved BSOD for them...now im not saying it will solve BSOD for all but it may be worth trying. Remember the SandForce controller was originally designed without TRIM in mind, it functions just fine without it so you should see no loss of performance. If you want to help the controller stay fast you could always add some extra over provisioning by reducing the volume on the drive and leaving that space unallocated...totally up to you what you do though....
I like 25% OP on my drives, this means if I have a 120 with 115GB showing in windows I lose 15GB to OP and use 100GB for the volume....
A forum member wrote a little script to enable /disable trim...he wrote in support for wiper for Indilinx drives also...just ignore that part and use the TRIM function only...
http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?63830-A-small-script-to-enable-disable-Trim
Here is a link to force TRIM also.. http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?73888-Here-s-a-tool-to-force-TRIM-your-entire-drive&p=523305&viewfull=1#post523305 you could if you wanted use this once a week to force the drive to TRIM all marked deleted blocks if you turn off native TRIM in win7.
Again....not saying this cures any BSOD but a few end users have said they disabled TRIM and issues went away...anything I have suggested here is totally reversible and will do no harm to your systems.
If this doesn't work and I get a BSOD after a week I'll disable TRIM and if that doesn't work I have no idea. OCZ said they're working on a new firmware release so who knows. I just hate feeling like I am a beta tester.
If anyone has any suggestions let me know.

OK, had some time to go test your suggestions here
These are the 1.5V Vengeance RAM Modules. Tried installing 2 of the RAM on slots 2 and 4 on their own. System Boots Fine.
Went into the BIOS and changed the voltage applied to the RAM modules from
AUTO to 1.575V. On AUTO it says is applying 1.5V to the 2x 4GB modules.
Installed the full 4x RAM on all slots... and the system just shuts down. Power cycling again.
What do you think here? Bad Motherboard? Can't think of anything else to try... totally stumped!
Thanks!

P67A-C43 usb/freeze problem

For quite a long time now I have had problems with the machine freezing and requiring a reboot. It seems to happen at random, perhaps once a day. Its just happened again, this time when I plugged in a usb hard to one of the ports. I've installed the latest intel series 6 chipset driver. I could be wrong but it seems to me that the underlying problem is usb related.
Some years ago I shared this problem on this forum when the freezes were happening multiple times per day. The forum solution (thanks Svet yet again) was to increase the voltage of my Corsair Ram to 1.65v - sounds high but that's what the manufacturer specifies. The freezes still occurred but much less frequently.
I really would like to see this problem disappear and would appreciate any help.

I've run one iteration of Memtest so far which showed no errors. I'll run a 5 iteration one overnight (takes a long time).
I decided to run a a HW Monitor report, a truncated version is below. This shows several things that worry me.
1. The +12v rail on the psu shows only 9.06 volts which looks too low. The psu is nearly 6 years old and could be failing
2. Temperature 1 on the Fintek F71889A chip seems high (max 78degC). I'm not sure what this is how to address this if it is a problem.

P67A-C43 questions

Hi, i've read that i can set my i5-2400 multiplier to 38 but it seems that cant go further than 36,and also that i could set the bus safely at 105 without any voltage changes,but seems i can't do that either,when i try these settings when i reboot multiplier@36 and bus@100 no matter if i try with overclock genie or manually,also although my ram is 1600 it runs at 1333 and when i change it in bios it boots again at 1333.should i expect a bios update or i can do something else?Thank you.

i know about k and non k series but i've read many cases in many reviews and forums with i5-2400 @ 3,99 mhz.Non-k series are partly unlocked and also what about the ram?
what you are refering to is the turbo mode overclocking
you can go 4 bins extra /core disabled so 4 gigs for 1 core really....
but problem is as soon as you need the extra cores thats gonna go bye bye

Constant Rebooting Part 2

Like sibo66red's daughter in the "constant rebooting" thread, my blackberry 8520 is stuck in some recurring reboot state.
I was fiddling with security settings, setting up security passwords etc. When "testing the new settings out" I locked the keypad and for some unknown reason it initiated a reformat or something to that extent. I was unable to cancel the reformat so I stupidly resorted to taking out the battery in an attempt to save my data...
After re-inserting the battery, the timer appeared as it attempted to reboot. It does not, however, reboot. The timer just shows for about 25 minutes until the screen goes black. The process automatically repeats.
Now this seems like sibo66red's same issue, but my phone does not show the loading bar. Im attributing this to me having the old operating system? Should I still follow the pre-wipe/wipe/install OS process?
What I have done so far to see if I can fix it:
Remove SIM card
Remove Memory Card
Use another 8520 battery/SIM/mem card
Connet the phone to a charger (lol)
Connect the phone to a PC ---> no effect/little response from pc
Going to my service provider to act on the warranty is my last resort as I am lazy.

What you've got in your hands is what is called a "nuked" or "bricked" BlackBerry. If you do a search for how to fix a nuked BlackBerry, you will find a variety of instructions, but here's one that is fairly easy to follow and includes pictures as a guide:
http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lecture-12-how-reload-operating-system-nuked-blackberry
Try that and see how it works for you. The key step here is to plug the BlackBerry in at the right time to catch it and stop the reboot from continuing.
Good luck and if that doesn't help, let us know how far you made it and at what point you had problems.

MSI P67A-C43 B3 won't POST with Full RAM Installed

Hello all,
I recently purchased the MSI P67A-C43 B3 mainboard as a custom build
and have been having trouble with it. I have 16GB of ram for this board
(4x 4GB) and when I have 8GB installed (slots 1 and 3 filled), it POSTS fine.
When I fill ALL the slots for 16GB total, the board won't POST and just
power cycles ON and OFF and ON and OFF, etc...
I have replaced the memory and the PSU and am about to replace the
mainboard, but wanted to ask if anyone might have a suggestion for
troubleshooting before I do that.
Here's what I'm running on the system:
mainboard: MSI P67A-C43 B3
proc: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4Ghz Unlocked
proc cooler: Corsair Hydro H80 CPU Liquid Cooler
ram: Corsair High Perform Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz2x4 (4 of these)
HDD: OCZ TECHNOLOGY 120GB VERTEX PLUS SSD and Seagate 1TB LP Serial ATA HD 5900/32MB/SATA-3G
CD Drive: Sony Optiarc 24X DVDRW SATA
video: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB 1024MB GDDR5 PCB PCIe
PSU: Thermaltake 750W Modular Power Supply. 80+ Bronze
case: Thermaltake Chaser MK-I Full Tower Gaming Case
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64Bit DVD
Any ideas here would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

OK, had some time to go test your suggestions here
These are the 1.5V Vengeance RAM Modules. Tried installing 2 of the RAM on slots 2 and 4 on their own. System Boots Fine.
Went into the BIOS and changed the voltage applied to the RAM modules from
AUTO to 1.575V. On AUTO it says is applying 1.5V to the 2x 4GB modules.
Installed the full 4x RAM on all slots... and the system just shuts down. Power cycling again.
What do you think here? Bad Motherboard? Can't think of anything else to try... totally stumped!
Thanks!

New Build P67A-C43 B3 shuts down in 2 sec

This is a new build: (all components new)
msi P67A-C43 (B3)- mainboard
Intel Core i5 quad processor
Diablotek 550ATX power supply
GE Force GT 520 Video
8 GB DDR3 RAM
When powered up runs about 1 sec and shuts off.
Tried several suggestions... disconnected everything except CPU and 1 memory stick
Took MainBoard out of the case (Same problem)
reset CMOS (same problem)
Any new suggestions HELP !!!!

Make sure that the 4/8-Pin +12V connector for the CPU is properly plugged in.
Please check the board's CPU socket for broken or bent CPU pins.
Make sure the CPU heatsink is not fastened to tight.

That PSU is a piece of junk. Please try a better PSU:

P67A-C43 (B3) minor weirdness.

Hey all,
Got a system here that's solid as a rock, except for a few small issues:
1) Very occasionally, system refuses to POST on cold boot (hangs at status code A3 or B3). I've had this about 3 times in the past 3 months, and a hard reboot always fixes it. Could be high Vdroop on one of the rails, but I've never tested it.
2) Recently (just noticed it about 2 days ago), USB keyboard/mouse aren't recognized for about 30 seconds after boot to Windows 7 login screen, can't toggle Numlock/Capslock either during this time. I noticed that this only started to happen when I plugged the hub into one of the USB 3 ports, so it might just be the Renesas USB3 driver taking its time. Weirdly, keyboard and mouse both work in getting to/using UEFI BIOS, regardless of where the hub is plugged in.
Specs:
2500K OC to 3.8GHz (stepping down to 3.6, 3.4, 3.2), Hyper212+ HSF
P67A-C43 B3 fw. 1.B
Corsair 8GB DDR3-1333 RAM
EVGA GTX 560 Ti
Crucial C300 128GB SSD (fw. upgraded to 0007 from 0006)
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD
Bigfoot Killer 2100 NIC (latest fw)
HTO Stryker 7.1 sound card

Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 w/IntelliType 5, driver ver. 8.20.409.0
Logitech MX518 mouse w/SetPoint 6.32.7, driver ver. 5.33.14
Trivial problems to be sure, but is there anything I can do about them? I just put together this system, and it doesn't seem right for it to have even minor problems right off the bat.

Status code at time of hang was B4.

MSI P67A-C43/ Corsair HX620 or Corsair CX 500 Buzzing

Hello Everyone,
Been a member long time and recently returned to the MSI fold with this amazing little board. It over clocks amazingly well and is an excellent entry level p67 board. However I do have one issue with my setup which is listed below:
CPU: Intel 2500K
Board: MSI P67A-C43 flashed to the latest BIOS (as of May 25th)
Memory: G.Skill Sniper 1600Mhz 2x4 GB (1.25V)
GPU: HIS 6950-2GB
HDD: Seagate 1TB 7200.11 (SATA)
Optical: Samsung 223F
PSUs: Corsair HX 620 and CX 500
Now the problem using either of the two power supplies result in a low noise buzzing sound emitting from the power supply units. It does not matter which one, both exhibit similar behavior. This occurs EVEN if i remove the video card. This only happens when i turn the system on. This is NOT your video card buzzing noise which comes and goes with load on the video card; the noise persists even if i run the system without a video card (of course i can't see anything but i can hear the noise emitting from the Power supply)
Both these power supplies work without noise in other systems (based on Intel, Asus and older MSI boards).
Has anyone else experienced this? I know of video card associated PSU related noise, but this is definitely an issue between these two power units and the mother board.
THINGS I HAVE ALREADY TRIED (in combination and individually)
1. Disabling all power saving features
2. Disabling active phase control/ changing between two provided settings for APS
3. Disabling phase control LEDS
4. Running at stock, over-clocked and under-clocked
5. Disabling onboard peripherals (audio, usb ports, etc)
Have I missed anything that i should try.
Is this a sign of impending trouble (i.e. should i RMA this board) OR just a cause of annoyance and raging headaches
Thanks in advance to all readers/ posters!

You are stating that both PSUs do not emit this noise when used on other systems. Were the PSUs plugged into the same wall outlet that you are using now when you tested them on the other PCs?
Just a possibility that the noise originates somewhere in the electrical supply circuit that you are using now.
Thank you for your reply.
Yes that is correct. And yes the outlet is the same as well. I have even done an experiment where i used the processor & memory from this (P67A-C43) in another board (P8P67, and vice versa) just to make sure the CPU and memory are not the culprits. No dice. The issue is definitely between the board and the power supply units.
As both PSUs have different OEMS (seasonic and CWT if i am not mistaken) I just want to be sure it is not a problem with a board that will cause it to fail later on.

Solaris 8 in ultra 2 got panic and auto reboot when install Oracle software

Dear all,
I installed Solaris 8 by selecting 'Entire Solaris Software Group' and select 32 bit support only in an old ultra II machine. Then I tried to install Oracle 8.1.7 in the same machine but machine always got panic and started auto reboot when Oracle installed about 17% or 20% or even 70% (I tried install the minimum of Oracle).
What is the problem? Anyone can help?
Thanks in advance,
Vicky

I think you need to check the parameters like SHMMAX etc in /etc/system file as recommanded by oracle if not already added you need to add them .Oracle manuals have a list of these parameters and don't forget to reboot and boot with boot -r after adding these parameters.
Make sure you have sufficient memory or some patch recommanded by Oracle .
