Porblem with MSI P6NGM-FD during shutdown.

Overall the PC is stable, works well. The problem is when I shutdown the PC, the harddisk turns off, but CPU and Case still runs. Some commented that this is a problem with the ACPI. Will it be solved if I request another motherboard with the same model, or I just need a bios fix from your site?
I need immediate response. I bought this last April 22, 2008. Please send me bios update if this is the only solution. I'm tired of experimenting/installing Windows XP.

Hello christian1616,
first of all, let's make sure we are talking about the same board. There are three different versions of the P6NGM out there:
- P6NGM-FIH -> BIOS v1.x   ----> MCP73U [FIH - GB Lan+1394+HDMI+D-Sub]
- P6NGM-FD -> BIOS v2.x    ----> MCP73PV [FD - GB Lan+DVI+D-Sub]
- P6NGM-L -> BIOS v3.x      ----> MCP73V [L - 10/100 Lan+D-Sub]
Check your current BIOS Version. It should be displayed during POST on the status screen:
If you cannot get a good look at the BIOS Information because the status screen disappears too fast, disable quick booting in BIOS.

Note that this is a plain user to user forum.  Nobody here works for MSI.
We can check if there are any newer BIOS Versions for you board but in order to do that, we need to know which BIOS Version you are currently using.

Have you been using an Install-CD that includes SP2?

ACPI enabled.
Was (IO)APIC enabled as well when you installed XP SP2 and was MPS Table Version set to "1.4"?
Did you clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU at any point and load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS after that?

  • System hangs during shutdown, blue screen with gear spinning.

    My MBP gets stuck during shutdown/restart process.
    The system acts like it is shutting down, exits the the desktop, goes to a blue screen with a spining gear then never turns off.  It seems the screen falls aslep if you leave it awhile but the system itself won't actually shutdown. If you move the mouse the screen lights back up. but still shos the "death gear"! happens on both shutdowns or restarts.  System must be turned off by holding the power switch for 10 secs.
    Please help!

    Seems like a odd thing. If youve downloaded torrents of hacked programs or things like that may have been the cause by the uploader hacking and doinng this. I would bring the Macbook Pro to the apple store and see what they can do. If they cant do anything about it I would backup all the important programs and get rid of anything that seems suspicious. Then upload the stuff back onto the computer after you restore it. Thats the best solution.

  • T400 with Windows XP, freezes on shutdown

    Hi, I recently purchased a Lenovo T400 laptop (originally with vista) and installed Windows XP on it. I installed all the drivers one by one from the lenovo website, and verything works nicely- except for one hitch. When I go to shutdown or restart, it starts shutting down and then at the screen "windows is shutting down" everything freezes in place. I cant move the mouse and it won't shutdown no matter how much time I give it. So I have to manually shut it down using the power button. I was wondering if anyone has encountered this problem before and know of a fix? Thanks very much,
    Thio

    I'm reviving this post since I'm having the same issue.  Windows XP and hangs on during shutdown.  Yesterday I installed around 30 updates using the ThinkVantage program. Maybe is the Power Management Driver, BIOS update, who knows.  Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks.

    No fixes found yet, but system restore (prior to new audio driver installation) at safemode worked for me.

    Hopefully this helps.

  • Strange icon during shutdown...

    Does anyone else have a strange icon flash on the display for a fraction of a second during shutdown? I running 10.5.1 on my 15" MBP 2.16 Core Duo and have noticed a real weird icon that only shows up occasionally during shutdown. It usually blinks on and off too fast to really see what it is, but I think it is sort of like the symbol on the command key and has a red X across it. I don't have any issues with the MBP with the exception of some files that Disk Utility is having trouble with when I repair permissions which seems to take a long time. It gets to a point where it says time remaining is less than a minute, but keeps going and going for another 3-5 minutes after displaying this:

    Anyone seen this before or have any thoughts?

    Thanks for the tip.
    I did as you suggested and the permissions issue is fully resolved. Never had an issue using the Software Update pane, but I'll file the in my overloaded brain for another time.
    I haven't seen the strange icon during shutdown again, but I did identify it as the icon for a piece of software called KeyCue. It shows keyboard shortcuts for the active application by holding down the Command key for about 2 seconds.
    Thanks again!

  • IMac hangs up during shutdown

    My iMacs (2006 + late 2007) occasionally lockup during shutdown. After the desktop icons are gone but the desktop photo remains with the spinning pinwheel. Eventually I force a shutdown by holding down the power button. On restart, everything is back to normal. Sometimes I have waited for 2 hours and the machine has not shut down - only gone to sleep.

    Same problem here, but it hangs all the time, not only 10-20% of the shutdown. I let it there for about 2 hours, nothing changed.
    I have no idea if this is time machine related, but if it is, it's a bug. Apple can't wan't me to check the sys prefs every time i shut down my iMac...
    By the way it's a two week old iMac which replaced my older one. I moved all the data by reinstalling leopard on the new iMac and telling the installer to rebuilt the system from the time machine data of my old iMac... Maybe something went wrong there.

  • Excessive (?) cluster delays during shutdown of storage enabled node.

    We are experiencing significant delays when shutting down a storage enabled node. At the moment, this is happening in a benchmark environment. If these delays were to occur in production, however, they would push us well outside of our acceptable response times, so we are looking for ways to reduce/eliminate the delays.
    Some background:
    - We're running in a 'grid' style arrangement with a dedicated cache tier.
    - We're running our benchmarks with a vanilla distributed cache -- binary storage, no backups, no operations other than put/get.
    - We're allocating a relatively large number of partitions (1973), basing that number on the total potential cluster storage and the '50MB per partition' rule.
    - We're using JSW to manage startup/shutdown, calling DefaultCacheServer.main() to start the cache server, and using the shutdown hook (from the operational config) to shutdown the instance.
    - We're currently running all of the dedicated cache JVMs on a single machine (that won't be the case in production, of course), with a relatively higher ratio of JVMs to cores --> about 2 to 1.
    - We're using a simple benchmarking client that is issuing a combination of puts/gets against the distributed cache. The ids for these puts/gets are randomized (completely synthetic, i know).
    - We're currently handling all operations on the distributed service thread (i.e. thread count is zero).
    What we see:
    - When adding a new node to a cluster under steady load (~50% CPU idle avg) , there is a very slight degradation, but only very slight. There is no apparent pause, and the maximum operation times against the cluster might barely exceed ~100 ms.
    - When later removing that node from the cluster (kill the JVM, triggering the coherence supplied shutdown hook), there is an obvious, extended pause. During this time, the maximum operation times against the cluster are as high as 5, 10, or even 15 seconds.
    At the beginning of the pause, a client will see this message:
    2010-07-13 22:23:53.227/55.738 Oracle Coherence GE 3.5.3/465 <D5> (thread=Cluster, member=10): Member 8 left service Management with senior member 1
    During the length of the pause, the cache server logging indicates that primary partitions are being shuffled around.
    When the partition shuffle is complete, the clients become immediately responsive, and display these messages:
    2010-07-13 22:23:58.935/61.446 Oracle Coherence GE 3.5.3/465 <D5> (thread=Cluster, member=10): Member 8 left service hibL2-distributed with senior member 1

    Note that there was almost nothing actually in the entire cluster-wide cache at this point -- maybe 10 MB of data at most.
    Any thoughts on how we could eliminate (or nearly eliminate) these pauses on shutdown?

    Increasing the number of threads associated with the distributed service does not seem to have a noticable effect. I might try it in a larger scale test, just to make sure, but initial indications are not positive.
    From the client side, the operations seem hung behind the DistributedCache$BinaryMap.waitForPartitionRedistribution() method. The call stack is listed below.

  • What happen during shutdown oracle database

    Dear All,
    i have a questions and i enclosed some suggestions for the answer because I'm confused about the answers :
    What happens during shutdown oracle database :
    and the suggested answer :
    1- When shutdown the database with NORMAL or IMMEDIATE option : the database system writes check point before shutting down the database .
    2- when you shutdown the database with the IMMEDIATE , option , open transaction are rolled back before the database is shutdown .
    3- shutting down the database with abort always requires an instance recovery at the next startup .
    please suggest the right answer .
    Regards

    Hi Anwar,
    When you close a database, Oracle writes all database data and recovery data in the SGA to the datafiles and redo log files, respectively. Next, Oracle closes all online datafiles and redo log files.
    When you terminate the instance of an open database/use abort command to close and completely shut down the database the writing of all data in the buffers of the SGA to the datafiles and redo log files is skipped. The subsequent reopening of the database requires recovery, which Oracle performs automatically.
    I hope this will help you out to understand the process.

    First of all shutdown has 4 options
    1.Normal
    2.Immediate
    3.Transactional
    4.Abort
    Default is normal
    Normal: No new connections are allowed. Database and redo buffers are written into disk.Database is closed.
         Backgroud process are terminated.SGA is deallocated. Until and unless all users disconnect, database wont be closed.
    Transactional: No client can start a new transaction. Clients get disconnected once their transactions are completed.
         Database and redo buffers are written into disk.Database is closed.Backgroud process are terminated.SGA is deallocated.
    Immediate: Current running SQL are not completed. Oracle does not wait for users to disconnect.
         All active transactions are rolled back.Database and redo buffers are written into disk.
         Database is closed.Backgroud process are terminated.SGA is deallocated.
    Abort: All users are disconnected.Database and redo buffers are NOT written into disk.
    All background processes are killed instantly and instance is abruptly terminated.

  • "Ignore Sessions During Shutdown" and "Graceful Shutdown Sequence"

    Hi
    I have J2EE application consisting of WEB and EJB layers deployed on WL 8.1
    I start the Graceful Shutdown Sequence with Ignore Sessions During Shutdown option set. sessionDestroyed() method of registered HttpSessionListener is fired but at this moment JNDI tree is already empty, EJB module undeployed and the listener is not able to get to application's EJBs.
    In the documentation (http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/adminguide/overview_lifecycle.html#1045901) Ignore Sessions During Shutdown option is explained as follows:
    "If you enable this option WebLogic Server will drop all HTTP sessions immediately, rather than waiting for them to complete or timeout."
    What does "drop" mean here? Is this some exception to Graceful Shutdown Sequence and the following excerpt from the documentation? : "During a graceful shutdown, subsystems complete in-flight work and suspend themselves in a specific sequence and in a synchronized fashion, so that back-end subsystems like JDBC connection pools are available when front-end subsystems are suspending themselves."

  • MSI P6NGM-L system temperature and processor fan speed

    Hi folks,
    I've got a MSI P6NGM-L board that is reaching a system temperature of 46ºC-47ºC at everyday load (not playing games or doing heavy work... just browsing, email, text editor, etc). My case has got a frontal and rear 120mm (exaustor) fan, and my processor (Core 2 Duo E7200), an Akasa AK-965BL cooler. My graphics board is a XFX Geforce 9800GT with Zalman FC-ZV9 cooler. Overall temperature is just fine, except for the system temperature, that is 32ºC when the system is turned on and is cold, and reaches about 47ºC after some time and using. I disabled the onboard NVIDIA on BIOS, but that didn't make any difference. Is that temperature OK for my configuration, or somehow high?
    I thought about taking off the northbridge heatsink and applying Arctic Silver 5 in it, but I don't know if that would make any difference, and it would give me a big job, because I would have to take the board off... so I don't know if it's worth.
    Another question, is P6NGM-L board PWM compatible? I tried using speedfan to control the processor's temperature but it says it's at 100%, and I know the cooler is in silent operation. If so, what software should I use to control the processor fan?
    Thanks for any help

    I don't have a way to measure my room's temperature, but it's quite hot... something like 26ºC.
    I thought that with all the cooling I've got inside my case the system temp would get lower, but it is still the same under normal load, even since my case had only one exaustor and stock coolers.
    What about the processor's fan speed? Can I really change it by software? I plan to do some overclocking, so I would like to do tests with the processor cooler in full speed... I've googled all the way around, but couldn't find substancial information about P6NGM-L support for that.
    Thanks

  • Menu bar pops up during shutdown

    Hi there,
    I admit this is rather a cosmetical problem but my Macbook Pro Retina 13" late 2013 has started showing the menu bar during shutdown just recently. I click on shutdown followed by the normal grey screen. Then the menu bar pops up as well as the mouse and i can even click on the menus. The rest of the screen stays grey. Is there any possibility to find out why the menu bar shows up?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes you can, if you ve got LV 8.0 or above...
    Else, you ve to play around with the Event Structure in that you ve to poll for the mouse button in the Numeric's Mouse Down event. If the value is 2, that means you ve got a Rt Click from the mouse & accordingly pop-up a Listbox pre-filled with the Menus you want. Get the Coordinates from the Event Data Node on the left side & wire it to the Coordinates property of the Listbox. After a Menu selection is done, again hard-code the Corodinates property of the Listbox with some value that is invisible from the User's field of view.
    You can achieve within an hour of wiring from blank...
    Or see the attched VI for more details...

  • HP3210xi - lockup during shutdown

    I shut down the printer using the On Button. During shutdown the printer apparently lockup. The display shows the HP INVENT logo with " Shutting Down ..." on the bottom of the display. Also the ON button is blinking. If I push the blinking ON button, nothing happens. This is the first instance of this particular problem with this printer over the 3 years, I've had it. How can I get the printer unlocked and shutdown properly with the least amount of damage? The printer is connected to network router by ethernet cable. Computer OS is XP. Your help would be most appreciated. Thanks

  • Why does my macbook pro lock up during shutdown

    I have a 17" MBP, mid 2010, 2.53 ghz Intel Core i5, 8gb ram, 500gb drive, running Mountain Lion.  It will lock up during shutdown on certain occasions, but not always.  All programs quit, the screen goes gray, and the gray "spinner" sits there and rotates (not the spinning beach ball, but the gray spinner thing).  After experimenting with several different programs, the culprit seems to be Microsoft Word.  When I run Word, it locks up during shutdown.  When I don't, no lockup.  This has been consistent and occurs whether I shut down MS Word in advance or not.  I checked which processes are running when it does shutdown and when it doesn't and I've found the following processes which are running after starting and quitting Word, but are not running if I don't start Word:
    apsd
    cfprefsd (2 occurrences according to screen shot)
    coreservicesd
    distnoted
    fontd
    launchd (again 2 occurrences according to screen shot)
    lsboxd
    mDNSResponder
    netbiosd
    notifyd

    Do any of these look suspicious?  Is anyone else having the same problem?

  • MSI P6NGM-L Problem

    I have an ASPIRE M16641 system with a motherboard which apparently it is the MSI P6NGM-L despite the fact there are no marks or prints on it.
    It has decided to stop completely the other day. Did  bios reset and it turns on now, the cpu, graphic fans are spinning but there is nothing on the screen.
    removed the AGP card, connected directly to the GPU from the board and still nothing on display.
    Please advise.

     That is OEM and not MSI retail prodoct which MSI & this forum does not provide end-user support. You need to go to ACER with your problem.

  • MSI P6NGM-FIH overclocking?

    Hi - I'm looking to buy an MSI P6NGM-FIH for my dad.  He has no need for a graphics card.  I already bought an Intel E2160 CPU and I would like to overclock it to 2.4 to 2.8 ghz on stock air.
    This board seems limited for voltage to the RAM.  Anyone have any experience overclocking with this board?  My dad just can't swing a more expensive board (w/o on-board video) and then a video card too.
    Any suggestions on RAM would be nice too.  Or is this just the wrong board for his needs and my demand to overclock all CPUs at least a little.
    Thanks for your help!
