P975x Platinum Power Up edition and OCZ DDRII 800 problem

i recently upgraded my mobo from a P965Neo to a p975pue but it seems that this configuration wont work. According to D-Bracket it hangs at "Memory Detection Test" - (second LED green ). Ive tried with another set of DDRII-533 and everything works fine. Any clues ?
Id like to mention that memory was tested on other system too and its ok.
Config:
- Mobo: P975 Platinum Powerup Edititon
- Proc: Core Duo E6600
- Memory:DDRII OCZ PC2 6400 Platinum Edition 2x512 ( 4-5-4-15)

Hi Remark,
There seems to be others having trouble with your mem and this board. You may need to set bios settings with the 533mhz mem in, then shut down install the OCZ and boot then. Have a read of this post may point you in the right direction

Hello guys! I need new memory for my MSI 975x platinum power up edition motherboard, i have 2gb ddrII corsair on 533 from before, but i want to upgrade to faster and now 4gb. Wich can you guys recommend that would be stable and work great on this motherboard?. And also can i put a INTEL E8400 CORE2D 3.0GHZ 1333/6M S775 processor on my MSI 975x PU platunim edition and it will run good?? Thnx.

4 GB of memory should be no problem. The best thing would be to go for 2 x 2GB modules. Do not buy anything faster than DDR2-800 and make sure the memory you buy is able to operate @DDR2-800 @1.8V. DDR2-800 modules will be recognized as DDR2-667 because of chipset limitations, however, you can manuall increase the frequency to DDR2-800. Avoid OCZ Modules as there have been numerous compatibility problems.

45n processors and FSB-1333-CPUs are not supported on this mainboard. Check the CPU Support list here for upgrade options:

975X Platinum Power Up Edition v 2.1 - Will not Boot!

Hi All,
I have what seems to me to be a major issue. I've just built a new machine with the following specs :
PSU : Coolermaster eXtreme Power 650W PSU - ATX 12V V2.01 120mm Fan 20+4pin
MBO : 975X Platinum Power Up Edition v 2.1
CPU : Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.4GHz 1066MHz) Socket 775 L2 8MB Cache
MEM: OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 5-5-5-12 GOLD XTC *SPECIAL OPS* ED
GFX : Sapphire X1950GT 256MB
DVD: Samsung SH-S203B 20X DVD±RW/RAM / DL Serial ATA Black Bare Drive
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar T7k500 HDT725032VLA360 320GB SATAII (2)
When I boot, the D-Bracket briefly shows green lights at position 1 and 4 and then just hangs on one green light in position 4. I see no display on the monitor. All the fans are spinning but nothing else happens!
I got the following response from MSI :
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your concern. Please follow the below steps to have a try.
1.unplug the battery and clear cmos.
2.clean up all the components and plug them again.
3.change another memory.
4.change another power supply.
5.make sure whether the cpu fan is fixed properly and tightened.
If still can't help, please mail us again.
Regards
MSI Technical Support Team
I have tried everything they said, but it has made no difference. The strange thing is that no red leds come on. I thought that the first in the display sequence of the d-bracket was four red leds.
Any ideas? I really need your help!
Many Thanks,
Matt

Did you connect the 8-pin +12V-CPU-connector to your power supply?
Quote
GFX : Sapphire X1950GT 256MB
Make sure the 6-pin PCIe connector on your graphics card is hooked up to your PSU. Also use the 4-pin (4x1) PCIe connector on your mainboard to re-assure stable power supply.
Take the board out of your case and put it on a non-conducting surface for testing. Use barebone configuration only:
- CPU
- one RAM module in Slot 1
- graphics card
- D-Bracket
- disconnect hard drives, optical drives, USB devices, add-on cards and USB front panel connectors.
- Clear CMOS (remove main power plug removed from PSU first)
Then try to boot your system again and see if there are any changes. If not, use the other RAM module and try again.
One more thing:
Make sure that you are really using the Power-Up Edition of the 975X Platinum mainboard. The regular edition (MS-7246 v1.x) does not support your CPU. There was a case not too long ago in which a user bought a 975X Plat. PUE mainboard (MS-7246 v2.x) that did not want to work as expected. It turned out that he actually got the older edition of the board.

975X Platinum Power-Up Edition v2.1 boot sequence not detecting keyboard

I don't know if anyone else has experienced this problem before. I've owned the 975X Platinum Power-up edition motherboard version 2.1 for just a little over three years. I have installed Windows 7 on the system in December 2009. On resuming from sleep mode tonight it locked up necessitating a reboot - on reboot the it detects the processor, memory and hard drives and then displays "keyboard error or not found" and stops waiting for a F1 or Delete key press.
I've tried the Logitech USB keyboard on another system, so it's not the keyboard. The diagnostic bracket displays red on LED 1, green on 2/3, and 4 is not lit. What does this mean? Does anyone have any ideas on what to try? The USB ports have power as I have other USB peripherals that have power, could it be that the keyboard controller has blown?
The motherboard has worked well for three years until tonight and I would rather not spend a lot of money repairing the board or buying new components for a new system.

do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power removed,
also disconnect and re-connect the keyboard

975X Platinum Power Up Edition to buy or not.

HI everyone,I have been looking at the 975X Platinum Power Up Edition but i see a lot of bios problems posted here.so i guess i will go with another board .i don't want to go with another board with bios problems unless they can be fixed in due time.so is it a good board or not?

UAW,
I agree with your observation that these Forums provide a level of support for the purchase of MSI products, especially motherboards. I've clung to MSI motherboards through seven PC builds . . . all seven have been with MSI motherboards. Number eight is underway with the third of three 975X PUEs bought at the same time. Without these Forums I might never have solved some of my PC build problems.
In a nutshell, and in my experience, the 975X has issues. Worse, neither it nor the supporting MSI Utilities are up to even the previous MSI standards, not that they were all that great to begin with. Worse still, I see little evidence that MSI is actively addressing many of these issues . . . while MSI Sales sits around and slaps each other on the back for the favorable Tom's Hardware review that the 975X received.
If these Forums don't give you enough of a "flavor" for the 975X, go to NewEgg and read some of the reviews there. Admittedly, these MSI Forums are FOR people experiencing problems, but not NewEgg. Those reviewers, for the most part, want to think the BEST of their purchase . . . they WANT to be pleased. By a wide magrin they have not been pleased.
Me? "Disgusted" pretty well sums up my feelings. My next motherboard purchase will definitely NOT be MSI. Sorry, I'm a candid poster, 62 years of age, and ready to admit that I don't always make the right decisions or purchase the best products. Two come instantly to mind: SyQuest "zip" drives & MSI motherboards.

975x Platinum Power Up Edition Help Required

Good Afternoon,
Have just purchased the following setup
Motherboard: MSI 975x Platinum Power Up Edition
Processor: Intel E6600
Ram: Cruicial Ballistix 2 x 1GB PC6400 Dual Channel (MSI Say It Is Supported)
GFX: MSI GeForce 7950GT 512MB PCI E
HDD: 2 x 80gb Seagate (Connected Via Sata)
CDROM: Sony DVD-RW
PSU: Hiper Modular 530W Black SLI Certified PSU
Think thats all you need, its been built by an experienced pc builder.
It will not start, when we switch it on it boots for about 5 seconds then shuts down and restarts, the error reporting leds are in the following combination:
Red Green
Red Red
Originally we were running Geil Ram, but realised MSI didn't support this so got some Crucial however it still doesn't work, I have read a number of threads on this forum and tried resetting the CMOS and playing around with the memory configs, any help and advice on how to get this working would be much appreciated.
Thanks

@deastwood:
Can we call you Clint for short?
Sympathies - We have a similar setup. I returned my first Corsair twins as the board would not boot with them as a twin. Turns out one was supposedly defective. BUT - when I recently replaced my Corsair twin 800s that did not work eventually with twin 1Gb CL4 800 Crucial Ballistix stix - I had a severe reboot issue and frequently - the system would not start without hitting the reset or the cold boot start button on the powerup many times. When it did not start I had the same LED settings you noted.
My colleagues who run a "confuser" shop, took out the Crucial memory, tried it in another 975 board (I think the ASUS 5B delux). and the Asus board booted just fine with the memory. They left the momory at 1.8VDIMM - stock - even though Crucial recommends 2.2 for these stix.
They removed the 975XPUE battery, reset the CMOS, and plugged the battery back in - VOILA - everything worked and today I am running as below. We have no idea why it would work after a CMOS reset as I had tried that before (but perhaps I had not left it long enough or did not press the reset button on the CMOS in the right sequence - something real simple like that????? ).
BOTTOM LINE: since they did that - it has no reboot issue - and all I did with the memory is set it manually to 5-4-4-12. It is like a ROCK now.
Others are more qualified than I about this board - but suggest you might go back to basics:
1) check the memory works in another board
2) remove battery, wait 10 minutes, press CMOS reset button for 10 seconds, replace battery
3) check yourself all the power/CPU fan connections and that you have the 4-pin molex connected to the GRAKA
(do you have a 20 or 24 pin power bar ?)
4) reseat the memory (just use one stick in either of the green mem slots)
5) do not bother connecting the IDE/CDROM until you get to post.
6) Just use one SATA drive (connected to SATA 1 (top))
7) Put in a less powerful GRAKA (a radeon 600 or NVIDIA equivalent) and run it with a VGA connector.
8) Read the MOAN guide just in case you all forgot something real simple. It does not take that long to ge through it.
It took me quite a few fiddles and frustrations to get my 6600 rig solid - sorry to hear about yours not even kick starting.
But just be a bit patient and take it from the start with as few extra bits of kit til u get past post to the Bios.
Happy rails.. and let us know how trhings are progressing... keith

975X Platinum Power-Up Edition audio woes

Greetings assorted bipeds.
I have:
MSI 975X Platinum Power-Up Edition
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
2xOCZ 800MHz RAM
ATI Radeon X1950 Pro
Etc
My audio however is always spotty. It tends to have pops in it, as if someone were making popcorn right next to me all the time... I've tried plugging into the back audio ports (integrated into the mobo) as well as the front ones. I've also tried using my headset, so it's not the speakers. I've tried downloading the newest drivers for the audio, and tried different audio codecs, to no effect.
So I'm perplexed. Short of replacing the motherboard, I don't know what else I can swap out to see what the problem is... Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm already on the Intel controller.
I flashed my BIOS but afterwards it didn't detect my RAID 0, which isn't good thing, as I like my Windows partition and what's on it... I re-flashed it back to the old one, and now the RAID is detected. Is this common, or did I do something wrong? I'd rather not have to repartition and reinstall XP...

MSI 975X PLATINUM POWER UP EDITION

today is january 23rd, 2010
i just bought the msi 975x platinum power up edition in new york, from a store that was going out of business, but i am having problems because this does not power on.
i am using brand new and tested functioning: thermaltake tr2 430w psu, intel core 2 duo 2.66GHz fsb 1066, and also tried a celeron d 2.66GHz fsb 533, 1x corsair 1gb stick 800 mhz, nvidia 7 series pci express vga card, connected to a test ctr monitor AOC 5en.
i connected the 24 pin atx main connector, the 8 pin connector that powers on the cpu and also the peripheral connector that powers the pci express, and all i got was the heatsink fan spinning, but nothing appears on my screen (all is black).
i hope somebody can help me, because now the store where i bought it has closed, and i dont know how to get a warranty from MSI since i dont understand their RMA policy.

if it is not sure that after updating bios the motherboard can use some more new cpu`s, then i think it would be a waste of time trying to do a bios upgrade.
I am not sure that I understood what you mean, but it is nothing unusual that an older board/chipset will not support the latest processor models. And this has nothing to do with the board manufacturer.
Quote
I only wanted to do that bios upgrade thinking it would be enough to avoid the karma of searching for those listed cpus
What is so hard about digging up a supported processor? I mean, all you have to do is to decide which model you want to get (an E6600 would be a great choice for this board) and then buy it. You will probably be able to get a great deal on a used one on E-Bay.
This is not a complicated situation.
Quote
this is my first msi mobo!!!
... and it has nothing to do with this being an MSI Mainboard. The only problem is that it is an old mainboard/Chipset and that the latest 45nm processors are too different regarding their specifications to be properly supported.
Quote
where can i get a copy of the driver cd utility of this mobo?
i would like to get a copy from the original cd
There was no driver cd included in the mainboard box which you can make a copy off?
You can find all drivers for download on the product site for this mainboard:

Msi 7246 (Platinum Power up edition) & Core 2 Duo E7400 compatibility

Hi
Does anyone know If the Core 2 duo E7400 is compatible with the msi-7246 board, I have check the processor compatibility tables on the MSI website plus (cpu-upgrade.com/mb-MSI/975X_Platinum_(MS-7246).htm) and this processor is not listed. For some reason every other processor is listed even the ones that are not compatible except this one, the chart goes from the E7300 to the E8190.
Also if the processor is compatible which bios would be required.
Cheers

Which source do you use to check CPU support ?
The official MSI support site only lists Pentium D and 4 processors being supported. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/975X-Platinum.html#/?div=CPUSupport
EDIT: My apologies, here is the Power up edition support page: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/975X-Platinum-PowerUp-Edition.html#/?div=CPUSupport
That CPU is also not on the support list.

MSI 975X Power Up Edition and E6600 and DDR 800 MHZ Ram, NOT RIGHT SPEED.

I've just got my system up and running but it aint detecting the ram speed correctly or even the FSB on the CPU. I have included some pics to show you. sometimes at post it says 533, and sometimes 667. Any ideas?
I am running a E6600 and Crucial Ballistic DDR2 800 MHZ Memory.

MSI has an online Customer Service for you to send your issues or questions over. Usually it take few days to reply. This forum, is maintained by user, just like you and me. Happy users stay to help the unhappy users, and sharing experiences and valuable information. However, most if not all users don't make BIOS changes, modifying BIOS etc This is still mainly MSI's job.
The moderators have MSI contact where we can get faster response and more direct support. We do channel issues over here which we think is a true MSI issue. But 90% of the issue here are mainly user-setup problem. So we need to filter them out.
So, is this issue a MSI issue or a user-setup problem?
I just hope it will be fixed asap
I always loved msi motherboards because i never had problems. I don't like asus and the only motherboard available when i got my E6600 was the Asus P5N32-SLI SE Deluxe but the motherboard was bad (i hate asus even more now) so i could return it and change it for a msi motherboard The 975x powerd up edition And now (for the first time with msi) i have problems again. I just want my system to run like it should run

P45 Platinum and OCZ PC2-9200 Problem

My problem is that i dont really know if those DDR2 memorys (OCZ PC2-9200 1150Mhz / 2x1Gb) can be used on p45Platinum motherboard.
The thing is i already bougth them....
I tried to make them work but i culdnt, my best gues is (as long as the mother supports them) to flash the bios becouse i noticed that a lot of them have a improved memory compatibility.
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1479
shuld i give it a tray?
plz excuse my lame english....

I tryed them, it took a while for the pc to go functionaly on windows and when it did, i had a some lame latencys....
After rebooting, the pc wont start... i had leds indicating "broken memory or not properly installed". y used the jumper of the motherboard and the old memory.
What do i have to do to unlock the voltage item in the Cell menu? i still have it in dark-grey...

Neo2-PFS Platinum Edition and LiteON CD-RW Problems

Hi,
I have a Neo2-PFS motherboard and I can't get my LiteON CD-RW to work.
When the computer is not overclocked it takes about 5-6 minutes to burn a CD at
48x and the read buffer jumps from like 20%-100% constantly. When I overclock my computer I can't burn at all, I get bad disks. I'm using Nero 6 Ultra Edition. I have tried Fireburner but no luck. The burner worked fine on my Abit BE-7 mobo
even when my computer was overclocked. Could it be a problem with a burner? When it was working fine it took less than 3 min to burn a CD at 48x.
Thanks for any help,
Mario

Well one of the "Side-Effects" of Overclocking the FSB, is Possible HDD Errors, Loss of Data, All around Instability, And Dead PC , OK, Bad Joke, But True, so I dont see Having Underrun's, or Buffer Problems, when Burning a CD/DVD, While your System is Overclocked as anything Abnormal ...When Running Just about all the Componants "Out Of Spec", You Should expect some Negative outcomes, Especially when It Comes to Copying or Reproducing Data...Now for the Reason it is Not Burning Correctly while at Default FSB Speeds, is another Story Completely, Have you Trie another Utility Besides "Nero 6"?...Do you have the Latest "Lite-On" Firmware, from their Site?..........Sean REILLY875

975X Platinum Power Up Edition X Zalman CNPS7700

Is compatible???
thanx
[]´s

hi there, welcome to forum.
hard to say, but you can determinate yourself, by checking compatibility and requirements:
think it will fit but I'm worry about to close range/distance and big heatstick to the CPU socket. make measurement and determinate will fit or not.if its a problem, he can be replaced and then zalman can fit. read more about link below.
CNPS7700-Cu Requirements:
* Note : No motherboard components with a height greater than 39mm (1.53inch), as well as the
PSU, disk drives, VGA card, and RAM should be present within a 68mm (2.68 inch)
radius from the center of the CPU.

975X Platinum Power Up Edition BIOS 719 now on MSI FTP

Hi all. Just looked and MSI has posted bios version 719 on their FTP dated 8/31/2006. If you have the access for it then head there now under directory 7246.
Download from mirror in post below or from Pulled due to buggy release!
Let's hear some results as to how this puppy does.

Quote from: FrobinRobin on 01-September-06, 03:37:58
Well I tried 719 - I DEFINITELY would NOT recommend it - firstly I had the blue line at the bios screen (like Mr Natural but its not a prob) - however my USB keyboard didnt respond (yeah I know about the USB legacy setting but this never happened before? I was on 716)
Also my CPU temp was reported as 2c /32 f !
Mainly when it POSTs it starts, shutdown, starts.
When I hold down PWR button for 10 secs it STARTS again!
When I changed the BIOS settings, then save and exit the system shuts down, starts up but has no display!
I nearly didnt get back into windows! only managed it by
1) updating the BIOS then
2) shutting down by the case PWR button,
3) turning the PSU off at the PSU SWITCH - press the case start switch (to drain the sytem of electricity)
4) wait 30 secs and start up as normal.
I'll give the 71A a go because I'm desperate to sort these issues out - I have no idea what my cpu temp really is?
Well, that just goes to show you. MSI seems to be having a hard time getting it right. You would think that if these problems are showing on customers mobos then the same would show up on their test mobo. But yet they still release these things to the public. Makes no sense.
