P6N Diamond reboots with E6850 CPU (Kernel-Power)

I hope I give enough information to possibly help with my issue. I recently changed my CPU from a Pentium D 3.4GH to the Core™2 Duo CPU E6850 Conroe 3.00GHz. I can't run for more than two hours before I get a sudden reboot. I checked the event viewer and there is a critical event: Kernel-Power. I'm not trying to overclock (although I'd love to learn how too). I've listed my specs below and thought I'd mention that I don't have a heatsink and fan on the CPU. I'm using the Corsair liquid cooler. I have fans blowing on the heatsinks to keep the heatpipe cool. Checking it with a Fluke IR Thermometer I get 45c on the 680i heatsink and 50c on the 590i heatsink. This temp is comparable to when I had the Intel heatsink and fan on the cpu. I use the Cooler master CM Sniper for my case and there seems to be adequate air flow. I just did a reinstall (cleaned the hard drive) using the Pentium D and have been adding and updating one driver at a time to see when the problem would start. As soon as I added the E6850 CPU the reboots started. I changed back and the reboots stopped. The Any help and/or ideas would be appreciated.

Hello and welcome,
What bios do you have?
If its 1.0 its possibly not fully supporting your cpu and you probably need to flash your bios.
If you need to flash, read here on how to safely:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113295.0
And go here for biosfiles:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1168
Take 1.3 it incorporates all previous fixes.

Need help with Windows 7 kernel power issues

Computer: Hp Pavilion p6-2120t/A5T85AV
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Windows recovered from unexpected shutdown
Ok so I got this computer about 7 months ago, about a month or so after I got it I sent it in for this exact issue and when I got it back it was still happening. So I called, changed some settings and that seemed to work for a while but now it's doing all this again. Whenever I leave my computer idle to go into sleep mode some times it just shuts down, doesn't restart it just shuts off. No blue screen or anything like that. My event viewer lists these as happening 3 times last month and 7 times this month. I'm not sure how to post log files but here's what the event viewer says: I hope someone can help me out it's driving me nuts.

System reboots with high CPU load: Advice?

I built this system (in sig) just under a week ago; all works fine. 3 days ago, when running a game (specifically; Dark Age of Camelot, 2x instances == 100% CPU load) the PC rebooted 3 times in a row.
Shortly thereafter, I reinstalled the OS (Win XP Pro SP1 + all windows updates) and the PC continued working fine for about 30 hours, then again began to reboot. At this time I disconnected the 2nd hard drive I had installed.
Just a little bit ago, it again rebooted out of the blue. The system halts, the hard drive spins down and back up, then the system reboots.
This smacks, to me, of a power supply issue. 4 hours of memtest86 resulted in no errors.
CPU is running at 28 degrees idle at the moment, I've seen it go as high as 52 when it's been operating at 100% for several hours without a break. Case temperature is 34 degrees at idle, and I have seen it peak at 42. I don't think temperature is the issue here, but I could be wrong. I have 3 fans in the case, all 80mm- side rear and top mounted; side intake, rear and top exhaust.
Okay anyway... thoughts? I am thinking power supply. I am pretty noobish at this whole business and I get the impression that the PS that came with my case is crapola.

Heh 50+ has always just set off alarm bells in my head. No reason and good to hear that the temps I'm getting are reasonable. I was freaking out that my case's cooling sucked, 'cause I laid the fans out as best I could. What really freaked me out was the Core Center utility that MSI provides, gave some seriously weird temperatures. Now using Motherboard Monitor 5 and it seems to give much more reasonable temps. (Ex: Core Center would report temp at 55c idle, going down to 32c 10 seconds later, then 44 as soon as I moved the mouse.... all over the place. MbM5 seems to provide much more realistic scaling in the temps.)
As for Oklahoma, southwest part a bit up from the texas border- little town called Duncan. It's hot, it's humid, and I've already had to hide in the storm cellar a couple of times from nasty storms. Just moved here 2 months ago after being on the pacific my whole life. :D

IPhone4 will not turn on. Tried reboot with home button and power button, and tried with sim out. Left on charge for an hour and nothing. Tried plugged into PC and nothing. Tried holding any and all buttons one at a time and plugging into PC and nothing.

Hi,
This is for my wife's iPhone 4
She was on a call and went to end the call and the phone just turned off.
Left it on charge for an hour or so and nothing.
I tried the old reboot (home button and power button) and nothing
I tired with the sim out.
And with it plugged into a PC, opened iTunes and it didn't recognize that the phone was plugged in.
I tried my PC and nothing.
My phone charges and connects to both PC's
Tried holding the home button then plugging into PC
Tried holding the power button then into PC
I've now been trying different combinations for about 3 hours and now I'm all out of ideas.... :(
Please please can some help before Tuesday when I will have to find someone to repair it.
Thanks,

Sounds like faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take to Apple for quick (minutes) free battery diagnostic testing. If you have Warranty or AppleCare the problem will be covered.

Iphone 4 shuts down automatically even when rebooting with the home and power keys

My iPhone 4 shuts down by itself even though the battery is 40% charged. I tried the two button reboot (home+power key) at the same time, it starts first then it quickly shuts down again.
This has been going on for about 4 days in a row now.
Please help
Thanx

P6n diamond, no post, no leds on the d-bracket

Tried setting up my new P6N diamond today with a Q6600, and 8GB of Patriot memory. No post, not LEDs in the d-bracket and no beep codes.
Pulled out some RAM, tried it at 4GB, and at 2GB, no luck.
Tried a E6300 and a Pentium D, and also some Muskin value-ram, same results.
I don't think the system is overheating, it will run without posting for as long as I let it.
I tried to 2 different PCI-E cards (X1900xtx, and 6600GT) as well as an MX4000 PCI card. All components (except the PSU and motherboard) are known to work in other configs.
I'd like to think there's something I'm missing, I've got both power connectors set up, the PSU is a Thermaltake 750W, brand new. I really don't want to have to RMA this thing.
I also tried clearing the CMOS with the SW3 button as well as pulling the battery.
update: tonight, I was able to see the 4 leds come on, they are very, very faint, so I couldn't see them in the daylight, they seem to flicker a little. I've reseated the CPUs several times and still get no post, beep, etc, even removing the RAM gives no beep
Pulling the RAM and CPU out and powering on results in the same results from the d-bracket, 4 very faint green leds

My q6600 isn't a G0.
I tried both 1GB and 2GB DIMMS, same results.
Also, I don't get any LEDs on the board
I also just tested the power supply with a different MB, and it works fine.

P6N Diamond, SLI question: where does the 2nd card go?

As per title, I have a P6N Diamond motherboard with 4 video card slots (four PCI-e x16), two yellow + two white. I have a single GPU/card in the first slot as usual, but I got a 2nd GPU/card today. Where does it go so I could get 16x16 SLI? Manual is unclear.
2nd white slot (third PCI-e x16) or the yellow (second PCI-e x16) ?
I ask because this motherboard has non-standard color coding. Even the RAM slots are not color coded (channel-wise). Instead of A-B-A-B color arrangement on the RAM slots as every other motherboard out there, this motherboard has A-A-B-B arrangement.

Update: First of all, the case connectors on the motherboard are in the way for SLI purposes. They are too tall and block the insertion of the second card. On my old ASUS moterboard the case pins were on the bottom of the PCB, out of the way, but on this MSI motherboard they are on the side, lined up with the PCI-e x16 slot. Really dumb design! It might be fine for short video cards like 9600GT or similar, but for extended length dual slot video cards like GTX260 (which what I'm using) they are in the way, so much that the second card can't be inserted into the slot at all.
I spent two hours modding the connectors. I had to snap and break the plastic plugs, remove the metal pins and mod them so they are only 3mm tall, instead of 9mm. I know this motherboard is old so MSI couldn't plan for GTX260/280 and other long cards, but cards like 7950GX2 and similar did exist and predate this motherboard so there is no excuse for MSI for placing the connectors in that position.
Anyways, warning for any P6N Diamond owners: if you have extended length or longer dual slot video cards like GTX 260, GTX 280, and 4870x2 you will have problems with clearance and would need to do some severe modding or get a different motherboard.

Lenovo X240 keeps rebooting with Kernel-Power (Event ID:41); Windows 7 Professional

Hi All
I have my newly Lenovo x240 installed with Windows 7. Sometime, it can boot up, but sometimes it keep rebooting during the windows logo appear.
When it goes wrong, it will have the following screen.
But, if I am lucky, after several "auto-reboot", I can get into the Windows 7. But sometimes, it shows the similar screen above (without windows logo but with what my current desktop), and it then auto reboots.
This scenario is so random, I don't know how to fix it. At this stage, I don't want to use system restore, as some software is installed by my client which is not located near my office, while the reboot issue happens before those installation
Here are some event 41 details that I captured.

Could you please help?

Hi JackyCheung,
I would strongly you to ensure you have the latest drivers and also Windows Updates installed before proceeding with anything else. Have you ran the diagnostics to see if anything hardware related maybe causing the issue?
In this scenario I highly doubt System Restore would help, was it working OK when you got it? what has changed since it was working without the issue?

P6N Diamond: CPU power connector(s)

My PSU is a PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W. It has what appears to be both an 8-pin and a 4-pin CPU connector. The motherboard manual shows an 8-slot connector, but it came with a plastic tab on it which blocked 4 of the 8 slots. Neither manual (MB or PSU - the latter simply a fold-out piece of paper...) says anything about the apparent discrepancy. The tab on the MB is easily removed, which I did and connected the 8-pin PSU connector. I'll be running a E6850 CPU and two BFG 8800 GTS video cards. Can anyone shed some light on why there was this plastic tab over four of the slots? Should I be using the 8-pin connector, or the 4-pin. In all my previous builds, I've never had a choice. I'd rather not power up only to find I've made a mistake and fried everything.
TIA,
drachenfire

Modular PSUs may look nice and "improve" cable management, but they also introduce more points of resistance.
There also known to be unstable on the power rails, And can cause premature failures in system components due to it...
Dont bother, a zip tie is way better in the end!

BLACK SCREEN on start up with 3 beeps, FREEZES when power unplugged, IF IT BOOTS splash screen freezes, OVERHEATING REQUIRED TO BOOT - 0x7B, Event 41 kernel-power

Issue: One day I unplug the power, the screen freezes and I get frozen music sound. I shut down, start up, I get 3 beeps (1 short 2 long), which indicates a Video failure according to the Thinkpad Laptop beep code list.
How I solve the issue day-to-day: I turn the heat up - I disconnect the battery and hard drive and plug in the power then turn it on. I will wait until the underneath is searing hot with a blanket blocking the fan's flow of air, I mean way hot because any
cooler and it won't start. Plug stuff back in, Hard drive first, Battery second, turn off with power button hold, unplug power, replug power.
I turn it on, no beeps, it goes past the first Lenovo screen, then gives me a prompt because it "didn't shut down properly" and continue regular startup. What happens next is the Windows logo appears,
and just as the animated windows logo starts to move (you see 2 small colored dots on the screen), it freezes. I see this every time, I know naturally that it means that the laptop is still too hot to go past that point, so I shut it down and try again. After
about 5 - 10 tries it will go past the splash screen and into the login area, then it's all fine.
Sometimes when I unplug the power from the back by accident it will freeze. By accident I mean that the connector wiggles it's self out easily. This unplug freezing thing started happening about 1 week before the 3 beep black screen problem started rolling,
so I'm putting 2 together.
Errors:
I got a Blue Screen of Death the first time I started it up with the overheating ritual, but I never got it since. It was 0X7B.
I got another Blue Screen of Death about a week ago, but came as it was on already and I had been using it, and said something about disabling Cache or Shadowing in BIOS. I never got it since.
Event Viewer events found:
1. Kernel-Power, Summary page.
There are critical events for a few things like Kernel-Power, Event ID 41, Task Category (63). There are 19 of them, each day 1 or 2 of them but mostly 1, so this maybe corresponds to my daily ritual.
"The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly."
2. Kernel-Processor-Power - Event ID 37, task category (7)
"The speed of processor 1 in group 0 is being limited by system firmware. The processor has been in this reduced performance state for 71 seconds since the last report."
3. LMS - HCMI - Event ID 2, Task Category: none
"LMS Service cannot connect to HECI driver".
I came across a very sluggish performing control panel for Nvidia before and after this problem, and I tried installing a newer version, which I had to jump through a few hoops to do, like uninstalling first, not just updating. At first it said that the
driver wasnt for the system, which was wrong. I made it work somehow, but it was still sluggish. I rolled it back to an earlier driver, and now it works fine. No sluggish performance / slight freeze window thing going on.
MSCONFIG.exe, Boot Advanced Options: I have tried twice to change this 1 setting, check box "Number of processors" and change to 2 processors, because I do have 2 processors. I have been able to change
this in the past, but it does not save the setting now, and I believe this option was selected before I started having problems, and settings did not disappear then.
What could this be. The small round BIOS battery? The video card like everyone presumes? (I.E. the entire motherboard replacement), Software? The wiggly power input area? (Not enough power getting in?), Firmware of some sort? The BIOS software being wrong?

Kernel Power - Event ID 41 - Task Category 63 (spontaneous improper shutdowns and reboots)

I have been having consistent power offs/reboots lately, and im at my wits end about how to fix them.
It always seems to happen when im playing a high end game (Guild Wars 2, Mirrors Edge, etc.).
I havent experienced it while just browsing or doing basic work, or while playing lower intensity games that hog less resources.
The computer screen goes black, it reboots and i get the "windows has had an improper shutdown" kind of message.
Usually after playing the game for an hour at the least, though its happened 2-3 hours into the game as well.
I checked temps, and they are all normal,
Ive also attempted updating drivers, and downgrading from any beta drivers i was using, and none of that seemed to affect it.
I checked event viewer,

If anyone has any suggestions as to what could be going wrong, or things to check it would be greatly appreciated.
Ive looked around at others solutions and tried whats helped others and it hasnt done much so far.
it seems like this is a very broad problem, with no unspecific fix in most cases.

Hi,
This scenario usually indicates a problem with the hardware. Or, the driver can cause this problem. To help isolate the problem, check the following items:
1. Overclocking: Disable overclocking to see whether the issue occurs when the system is run at the correct speed.
2. Check the memory: Verify the memory by using a memory checker. Verify that each memory chip is
the same speed and that it is configured correctly in the system.
3. Power supply: Make sure that the power supply has enough wattage to appropriately handle the
installed devices. If you added memory, installed a newer processor, installed additional drives, or added external devices, such devices can require more energy than the current power supply can provide consistently.
4. Overheating: Check whether the system is overheating by examining the internal temperature of
the hardware.
5. Defaults: Use system defaults, and run the system.
If you see that the computer generates a Stop error that contains a BugcheckCode value that is not reported in an event ID 41, change the restart behavior for the computer. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click Advanced system settings.
3. Click the Advanced tab.
4. In the Startup and Recovery section, click Settings.
5. Click to clear the Automatically restart check box.

Kernel-Power Event ID 41: The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.

Hello, Currently we are seeing this issue with a couple of our Lenovo T420s laptops with a Solid State Drive. ruffly about 10 or so. The Reboots happen randomly and do not create a dump file. We have contacted Lenovo and they are
not sure why its happening. Since this Crash I set it for Minidump this did not work my next steps will be to Disable Automatic restart on System Failure to see if it brings anything up. I am also looking at using Procmon to dump to a file as well.
If anyone has any other ideas please let me know.

Thank you.

We have tested and checked both the Bios and firmware of the SSD Drive's
Bios was up to date and no issue
Firmware was also up to date as well.
Users are still experiencing random Reboots.   I tried to capture the issue with Procmon but since the PC shutdown (Goes to a black screen no power at all even when turning the "Automatically
restart" off under Startup and Recovery) No dmp files as of yet. Unable to configure Procdump due to not knowing where the issue is and what is causing it to happen.
Going to replace one of the PC's with a New one with different hardware to see if this resolve the issue. If anyone has any idea's to be able to capture what maybe happening that would
be great.
Thank you.

Deciding on a new CPU for P6N Diamond

Hi all,
I'm looking at upgrading my cpu before moving to vista. I'd like to get a nice extreme edition since this is my dream pc. I'm pretty sure the QX6850 will work with it, but has anyone tried the QX9650? I saw some of the other Yorkfield processors are under testing and will most likely work with the latest bios, except the QX9650. I'd be will to buy the processor and wait for the next bios update, but I'm not sure if the next bios update will add support for that processor.
Thanks

Sorry for the bad news, but the P6N Diamond will NOT support any Yorkfield processors in the future. Future bios updates will only support Wolfdale processors...not the new quad core series..:( If you want to run a 45nm CPU, you will need to stick with a dual core or update to the 780i or 750i board. Bummer.

Please help with Windows 7 x64 System error: Critical Kernel-power Event 41

I'm recieving this error while moving my laptop or working with it? Can someone help me to read memory dumps and to understand what causes this error please?
Where i can fount theese dump files? Can someone read them and is it possible to understand what is happening?
I have made full check of my memory and there are No errors I've also checked HDD with regenerator there are no errors too. but this not means that they can not be the problem. There is doubt about one of my HDD because when laptop is blocking there is bad
noise from HDD.
PS: There is another issue which is strange two of times when this happens the whole MBR was destroyed and the system refuses to boot ... only reboots. And i made bootrec /fixboot /fixmbr and this solve the problem ... I don't know is this connected with
system error, but i'm trying to give more details.
Thanks a lot.
