P6N Platinum Memory Sudden Death

I've been running a P6N Platinum for 11 months with no problems. I have an E6600 slightly overclocked and (2) sticks of G.skill 2GBHZ memory. I was using the computer as normal and had some slight hesitations, it had been awhile (weeks) since I rebooted so I did so only to get a bootmgr missing screen, tried again same thing so I powered the computer down. When I turned it back on, nothing no video no post only running fans. I tried one stick of memory in slot 1 then the other still nothing. I called MSI and they said it sounded like the board. I bought another one and had it next dayed. Put it all together and had the same problem. Went to the local computer store and picked up a new power supply and memory came home put the memory in and all was well again. So my question is what would take out to sticks of memory at the same time? I have a Enermax Liberty 500W dual rail supply and the whole system is on an APC 1250 conditioning backup. Do you thing the old board is still good or should I send it back to MSI?
Sorry, the original system is as follows.
MSI P6N Platinum motherboard
Intel E6600 CPU
Scythe Infinity Cooler
Enermax Liberty ELT500AWT PSU 28A@+3.3V 30A@+5V 22A@+12V1 22A@+12V2 .6A@-12V 3A@+5Vsb
2 GB (2x1GB) G.Skill DDR2 800 Model F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ
MSI NX8600GTS-T2D256-OC Video Card
ATI Theatre 550 PCI TV Tuner
(2) Seagate 320 GB 7200 RPM Serial ATA drive.
Samsung SH-S203B DVD reader/writer
Vista 32bit Ultimate.
The new memory installed is.
2GB kit (1GBx2), Ballistix 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-8500
I didn't end up using the power supply I bought at the local store just the new Ballistix memory. I hate to try the new
memory in the old board just in case there is a problem with the board that took out the memory. I could see one
stick failing but two at once is kind of strange. The memory was set at 2.1V 4-4-4-12 2T.

Well, I suppose testing the board again with your new components is the best chance to get a definate answer to this question.

Provide full system specs, otherwise it is hard to answer this question.  Read the >>Posting Guide<< to get an idea of what details we need to know.
You said you bought a new power supply.  Is that the Enermax Liberty PSU?  If not, what kind of power supply were you using before (brand, model, amperage limit on 5V, 3.3V and 12V rails)?

  • New P6N Platinum acting wierd...

    What's up guys.  My dad's computer at his office has been giving him problems like locking up, sluggish performance even after a reformat, etc so he gave me $1200 to build him a new machine that will last him "a long time". hahah
    So I've put together a pretty decent Core2Duo machine.  Here are the specs
    E6400
    P6N Platinum
    1 gig of Gskill DDR2 800
    This stick
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820231085
    A corsair 520 watt PSU
    Generic PCIE video card
    75 gig Raptor HDD (I'm going to use his existing HDD as supplimental storage)
    Samsung DVD writer
    I put it together, the system loaded windows XP fine, I installed the motherboard's monitoring software that Dual Core center thing, video drivers, Ntune software (which I now know is useless) and then proceeded to install office, some anti spyware apps, antivirus software, etc...
    That's all well and good but here's where trouble started up.
    During the software install, the Dual core center that was monitoring the fan speeds and cpu temp flashed at me saying one of the case fans wasn't spinning. I opened the side panel and both case fans were spinning fine.  (X_<)
    I disabled that montior and continue installing stuff.   A minute or two later, the other one goes red saying the 2nd case fan wasn't spinning.  I still had the side off and could clearly see all connected fans still spinning.     I disabled that one thinking it was the last I'd hear.
    I have an E6600 and another P6N platinum and 2 gigs of patriot DDR2 1066 ram coming today for my own system upgrade and I had already bought an EVGA 7600GT video card to use temporarily until the DX10 cards start dropping in price.
    Anyways, I wanted to see what sort of benchmarks the unclocked system could spit out so I shutdown, popped the 7600 in, rebooted, re-installed the latest Nvidia drivers and installed FEAR.
    I ran fear and it froze up during one of the pregame splash screens.  I held down the power button to reboot it and when I turned it back on, the system physically came on but there was no post and the monitor stayed in standby mode.  No beeps or anything.  All 4 little LED's on the Dbracket thing were lit up green.
    Thinking mabey something was up with the video card I shutdown and put the old card back in.  Same thing with this one now.  No power to the monitor, no beep, no post, nothing.
    So at this point, I start going through the usual suspects.  I tried booting with the ram in a different slot each time and still nothing, I unplugged the floppy and cdrom ide cables, nothing.  I unplugged the hard drive, pulled the Cmos battery, pressed the little clear CMOS button, etc... nothing.  I even went so far as to pull the video card itself and still no warning beeps or anything.
    At this point, I was thinking it could be the ram stick was bad or the CPU was bad or even the motherboard itself.  I was thinking mabey the mobo due to the previous warnings about the fan speed.
    In one last desparate attempt, I put the generic video card back in, hooked up everything but the floppy and put the memory back in the original green slot 1 and took it into the kitchen to my work space and plugged it in and turned it on and lo and behold, it beeped at me and the Dbracket LED's indicated that the floppy wasn't attached.  I hooked up a monitor using the VGA (rather than the DVI which was in my computer room) and the windows loading screen was up.
    I shutdown, hooked the floppy back up and watched the led's on the Dbracket as it started up and they appeared to go through a sequence of checking everything as they all were flashing green to red and then all green and windows was up and running as normal.  At this point, I'm still holding my breath just waiting for it to lock back up and give me grief again but it never does.
    right now, I'm at work and it's sitting next to me and has been running stress tests for the last hour and a half without a hitch.  CPU temp is peaking at around 53*C.
    When I get back from lunch, I'm going to run memtest and spinrite 6 to make sure the HDD is good to go and after that image the hdd for backup purposes.
    I'm hesitant whether or not I should tell my dad that his machine is finished becuase I don't know what in the world went wrong last night.  In my experience, when something fails, it's not going to work again.  I haven't tried running fear again.  I actually uninstalled it as he'll never use that but I was wondering if you guys could offer any ideas on what went wrong?
    I'm going to image both this machine and his old machine before I wipe his old HDD and put it in this new one just in case something does go wrong again, I can just pop the old HDD in his old machine, load the image and minimize down time while whatever parts need to be replaced are out.
    Thanks for any suggestions or ideas!   

    I had already planned on that.  I don't know if it was one of those that caused the problem or what but I'd rather it not be there at all than lurking in the background.
    Memtest came up with no errors, stress tests passed fine (for now) and spinrite is about finished with zero hdd errors.

    PowerBook G4 - Won't Start Up - 3 Strange Beeps then just LED flashes and sudden death - black screen.
    Prior that the powerbook also couldn't start but I could see the Apple logo, so via fire-wire (holding T at start up) I backed up the hard disk.
    Check via DiskToolPro the structure, defragmented. Via DiskWarrior rebuild the directory
    and finally not been able to access the drive I reformatted the drive via fire-wire drive.
    Re-started the powerbook holding C to boot up from DVD - nothing
    Re-started again and it give me one long beep and black screen. An indication that my 1gig RAM is bad or gone (?) and the DVD is stuck inside.
    Bought new one 1 gig, installed it and now I'm getting only three beeps.
    I tried all, changed the slots several times and nothing.
    I tried more as:
                             c -- to boot from CD (again while the DVD is still inside and I cannot get it out)
                             cmd-opt-p-r -- to Zap the PRAM,
                             cmd-opt-n-v -- to clear NV RAM,
                             cmd-opt-o-f -- to boot into open firmware … and nothing. The DVD is in and I have 
                                                    black screen with three beeps and flashing LED.
    Do I have to replace the Logic Board?   (Anyone has a spare one ?)
    But it is the faulty Logic board?

    But it is the faulty Logic board?
    There was a known issue with LBs in 15-inch PowerBooks with 1.5 and 1.67Ghz processors in which one RAM slot would fail. There once was a repair extension program that fixed the problem at no cost, but it is long-expired.
    The problem with seeking a used logic board for these models is that so many had their boards replaced that it increases the chances of the boards in the used/pulled markets having the same problem you have now. The replacement program also came close to exhausting the supply of new boards,
    If it turns out to be a bad LB and you can't find a replacement, consider how used computer pricing works: A used computer is worth hugely more in parts than if bought as a working unit. I.E, you can probably find a working PowerBook that will cost less than the logic bard alone. It also possible to find a used MacBook Pro for less that a replacement LB.
    If you tell us your approximate geographic location, we can see what's available nearby. I'm also retired, and and visiting my wife's family this week so have even more time than usual to help you search.

  • P6N Platinum Bios Resetting on Boot

    Hi all,
    I've got a P6N Platinum that the bios resets on almost every day.
    -I turn the PC off each night (start - shutdown - from windows)
    -When I turn it on in the morning (pressing the power button) it lights up, but I get no video.
    -All four lights are green on the D bracket.
    -If I press and hold the power button until it turns off, the turn it back on, the same thing happens.
    -If I just press the reset button, it boots with the bios reset.  I have to go in and set the time and disable the onboard audio (since I have an X-Fi).  And any other settings I've tweaked are gone (I've only changed memory timings - but it runs ok on auto).
    -Once I reset the bios it works fine the rest of the day - even if I reboot it or power it off and back on.
    -I'm not overclocking or doing SLI
    Sounds like a battery problem, but it's connected to AC all of the time.
    System Specs:
    Core2Duo E6600
    EVGA 8800 GTX KO
    2 GB Corsair RAM
    Creative X-FI
    300 GB Seagate SATA drive (boot)
    Lite-On DVD Drive (IDE)
    Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
    Antec Sonata case with SmartPower2 450W PS.
    All new.
    Thanks,
    Sweeps

    If the system locks up or crashes once fully booted into the O/S, and will not re-boot on subsequent attempts, it should reset BIOS to "Optimized Defaults", telling you, "Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking has failed... Please press any key to continue...". Afterwhich, it will boot with the default settings.
    If, instead, it successfully re-boots within three attempts of the three-finger-salute boot after the lock-up, it should maintain the user selected BIOS settings.
    That's normal.
    I am beginning to think MSI has come up with a "learning" or "self-healing" BIOS. What few little annoying problems I've had are slowly disappearing, one boot at a time. 
    When you are playing Lord of the Rings do you get physical; shaking or striking your desk or computer? Could be loose wires. I know my truck acts like that at times. 
    I see that message in the manual, but I have never received it.  It's never taken three attempts - just one.  And, the problem occurs after a normal shutdown.  (but so far only after the game has crashed).
    I've been known to turn my keyboard into popcorn before, but not with this system!! - YET!
    Sweeps.

  • Msi p6n Platinum - not going into bios

    Hi all,
    Ive just put together my new pc. Its the first build ive done.
    Trouble is i go to boot it up and its not going into the bios from the splash screen.
    On the D bracket lights 1 and 3 are constantly lit: Testing base & Extended memory.
    No matter how many times i reboot, it just doesnt work.
    All it does is go to a black screen when i press delete from the splash screen.
    Spec:
    Intel E6600
    Msi p6n Platinum
    2 gig Xms2 6400C4 (using 512mb stick for booting purposes)
    XFX 8800 gts 320mb XXX
    2 x 36gb (these were raid - 0 on my old rig)
    Hiper 480W
    I havent a clue where to go with this, any help greatly appreciated - Thanks

    I think the board is having a hard time detecting the HDD from the BIOS.
    Try using another HDD in a standard non-raid setup and see if the problem occurs.
    Anyway, you can't simply just pull a set of RAID drives from another working system and expect it to work in a new system as the RAID controller are of different makes.

  • P6N Platinum: audio problem! [SOOOOLVED! YES!]

    Hello.
    I've recently got a P6N Platinum, Q6600, 4GB Corsair 800MHz DDR2 and a GT8800. I started out with XP64, but for various reasons I'm switching to good ol' XP32 now. Formatted and installed it today. Everything worked smoothly in XP64, but now that I've installed XP32 the audio won't work. I've tried all sorts of different versions of the Realtek HD Audio drivers, but nothing seems to work. I read somewhere that some guy had success installing (in this exact order, with reboots inbetween) the Chipset driver, S-ATA raider driver then the Audio driver straight from the original MSI CD that came with the MB, so I even formatted again, reinstalled XP32 and tried installing the drivers in this order with reboots between each one; nothing. What worries me is that nothing even shows up in Device Manager, the only thing I got there with a "question mark" is a PCI Device. I have no idea what device this is though since the only "PCI Device" I got connected is my PCI-E graphic card which already has drivers. I've tried the CNet drivers from the "Popular Issues and Solutions" thread too, didn't work at all. I've tried pretty much everything I can think of, nothing. Even tried forcefeeding a new device through Add Hardware.. then using the Realtek drivers, but I got "Device can't start". BIOS is reset, tried both Default Settings and Optimized Defaults. Tried disabling and re-enabling the HD Audio Controller in BIOS Intergrated Peripherals. Any suggestions would be LOVED, because this is getting frustrating.
    Edit: Could also be worth nothing I am using XP SP3, and I got no Microsoft HD Audio-driver under my Sound devices in Device Manager.
    Thanks in advance.

    OH MY GOD, I finally found out what the hell was up. The PCI Device that was showing up yellow was the actual Windows HD Audio thing. Or, the "UUA Fix". I think what happens is that this won't install properly on XP SP3, so I somehow, somewhere, found a UAA fix for SP3, did a "Reinstall drivers" on the PCI Device and picked the path for it and suddenly the Realtek drivers just popped right into track without any problems. Instantly.
    http://www.9covers.com/files/HDA%20AddOn%20For%20XP%20SP3.zip
    Try this if you are having problems installing any HD Audio drivers in XP SP3. Woho.

  • P6N Platinum OC - BIOS 1.5 1333max / 1.4 1480 max

    I have two P6n platinum boards - one with a 6750 and one with a 2140 and neither will go beyond 1480 Mhz FSB. I have tried every suggesstion I've seen in forum posts
    Hardware is 2 or 3 sata drives, nvidia 8800gts or 6800, xfi on one system
    1) up cpu voltage
    2) up nb voltage
    3) up vtt voltage
    4) disable eist (try 6, 7, 8 multipliers on 6750)
    5) disable c1e
    6) jump possible fsb hole from 1500-1600 and try beyond
    7) slow down memory
    8) disable all spread spectrum
    9) try linked & unlinked settings
    10) try several BIOS revs
    However, no matter what I do, I can't get to 1500 or greater Mhhz on either system and the symptom is always a non-post (black screen after CMOS save or power restart). I would normally expect to get past the post screen or into windows with OC problems, but these boards NEVER post after the 2960mhz limit. Insert key will get me back most times, but sometimes I have to use the CMOS reset button
    The 1.5 BIOS is a complete failure - just setting the frequency control to auto and leaving it at system defaults (1333/800) prevents a post even though auto works fine (I didn't try the 2140 board). 1.4 and the 1.t beta version get me to 1480
    One other thing - changing FSB in software does not work either. DualCorecenter does not allow changes after 350mhz (it resets automatically) and other programs like ntune just lock up immediately
    My 6750 has a high-end scythe infinity and the other is a stock cooler and both report incredibly cool temps
    Any recomendations to get past my max point?
     TIA

  • Output error, sudden death..

    Having a problem with my output jack.
    The output worked perfectly with headphones and speakers but suddenly now I realize the jack is dead.
    Tried to connect a set of JBL Creature II speakers but they don't work, work perfectly with both Ipod and MacBook Pro though so nothing wrong with the speakers. Then I've tried diferrent kinds of headphones and headsets all with no sound. The input seems dead too.
    In System preferences > Sound everything seems correct, it switches normally from internal speakers to headphones when I plug in/plug out, definitely no problem with the internal speakers but no sound what so ever from the output and input.
    Usually I use a Bluetooth headset and havn't been using other speakers than the internal ones for a while so I got a little surprised now.. Worked just perfectly some month ago with a set of Creative Gigaworks T3.
    No "weird" system changes done, nothing special I noticed that could have caused it. Just.. Sudden death?
    Is this some kind of software problem? π_π
    What do you think guys?

    Not the 'output' key. Press and hold the OPTION key while clicking on the volume icon at the top of your menu bar.
    What do you see?

  • Keeps rebooting -- Sudden death

    Hi,
    When waking up this morning I found my Z3 Dual sim to be countinously rebooting. After a this keeping for a long time, I managed the tips of managing to shut it of. 
    I found the fix and held down power + down and up volume. It vibrated a 3 times but nothing happening. Did it again a few times and nothing happend. Tried it again a few times and now it has gone to sudden death mode.. 
    Black screen, nothing is happening. All attempts on trying to do a hard reset is failing. 
    Stopped by my local Sony store, but I only had 20 minutes, thus never got any service. 
    Any ideas?

    I've replied to the question you posted in my thread about sudden death.

  • Sudden death on Intel iMac 2.8 GHz

    I bought a new off-the-shelf iMac 2.8 GHz three days ago. Since then, the machine has suddenly died three times. No kernel panic, no gray shades coming down, no other warning--the screen just instantly goes black. After the first incident, it started up right away. Second time, it would not start at all. I pressed to power button a couple of times and at one point the machine growled (was this the fan going into overdrive?). Finally, I pressed and held the button til I heard a long beep. It started again. But I have also had another sudden death since then. Has anyone else experienced this sudden death? Because it did not invovle a kernel panic, does this rule out bad ram issues? Thanks.

    It may be that the fans are not cooling the machine correctly. Resetting the system management controller can solve this problem. Read the following support article for instructions on how to do this.

    My question is voltage.  I should be able to get 3.2 at les than 1.4 vcore, yet even if i drop it one step, the comp freezes after an hour of orthos.  I am seeing my voltages drop to 1.376 - 1.384 under 100 load, is that alot of vdroop?  If it is, is there a pencil mod for this board, or could it me my psu thats the problem?
    Also, if i up the fsb vtt, will that allow me to drop the vcore?
    Sorry for the long thread, but I am very confused

    Nope, every CPU is different, because some people get it like that doesn't mean you will.

    Doubtful, but your only @ 51c with TAT, so your good.

  • Sudden Death due to corrupt SD card/ virus?

    Bought an Xperia Z3 Compact less than a month back and was extremely happy using it. However, within the first 3 weeks, it suddenly died on me while browsing. Took it to the local Sony service center who said they'll check for hardware faults, if any. 2 days later, they returned it back to me with nothing more than OS software update.  Within the next 24 hours, the phone died once again and this time I tried every trick I read online. Volume up+Power button. Long pressing the yellow hard reset button. Nothing worked. Feeling frustrated, I confronted the service centre reps telling them its not a software related issue. As it was bound to happen, the phone restarted normally at the store. Now it didn't look like there was any problem with the phone.  The explanation provided by the service centre was that there's no issue with the phone. Instead, I might be having a corrupted SD card that may possibly be infected with a virus. Went back home and checked with AVG anti-virus (paid version) and didn't find any signs of infection. The only remaining possibility is that my office laptop might have some virus since I often use it to charge my cellphone.  My questions to experts - Is this possible? Does an SD card or virus have anything to do with the sudden death problem? How do I fix it because even the service centre refuses to acknowledge any problem? What's the point of such a good phone if I can't rely on it to work all the time?

  • Replacement For P6N Platinum

    Having RMAd my board my supplier, Scan, have told me that the P6N Platinum is no longer available.  Can anyone suggest a suitable replacement please that doesn't have any reliability issues and that will offer future proofing for the next generation of Intel processors and support for DDR3?  I am prepared to pay a bit more than the P6N cost!  The board needs to be compatible with my E6750 chip, SLi Graphics cards and DDR2 800mhz RAM so it will support my current components.

    If SLI capability is your main concern..you are limited, naturally, to the Nvidia chipsets.  The P7N Platinum is available and if it's like the P7N Diamond, it should be trouble free since it's an improvement on an existing chipset.  If DD3 makes a difference to you, then you will have to wait a month or two and wait for the 790 series to appear.  Given the pricey status of DD3, a board with DDR2/3 compatibilty would be sweet.  Check out the P7N Platinum, it may fill all your needs except the DD3.
