Powering up MSI G41TM-E43 board problem

I have exactly the same problems as described above. I replaced RAM, tried another PSU, flashed the BIOS to 4.4, but nothing helps.
MSI, Please help, because I'm running out of options here.

I created your own thread rather than your hijacking the other.
Please post a complete list of your components. Post the amps on the +12V rail(or rails if split), brand, and model of both PSUs that you have tried.
Also post an accurate description of what you've tried and what happens.

MSI G41TM-E43 problems

Hi, I'm having some re start issues.

My computer died on me the other day so I thought it was the psu. I replaced that and that still didn't help so I replaced the motherboard. The MSI motherboard will boot, but restarts 3 to 4 times before it will boot up. Once it's running the computer runs fine. I also get an overclocking error every time the computer boots up and the over clocking button is an the default position. Has any one else had this problem or a fix? I'm starting to think I need to exchange the motherboard.
Thanks for any help
edit - I tried taking everything out and it still restarts.

I am afraid your CPU is one of the few thats not listed on the support page. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G41TM-E43.html#?div=CPUSupport
This may or may not be the problem, but I do suggest you contact MSI support here >>How to contact MSI.<< and establish a course of action or get clarification.
also tell us the exact mem modules you are using

Problems Powering up MSI P45 Platinum board

I've currently started a new build using the following equipment:
Coolermaster COSMOS 1000
MSI P45 Platinum
Intel Quad Q9550 Processor
2 x 2gb OCZ Memory
Sapphire ATI 4790 HD 1gb Graphics Card
PC Cooling 750W Silencer PSU
Wired everything up, connected all the connectors. When I go to power up the system, I get a Red LED 3 but no fans or anything spins up. Switched out for a known good power supply and received the same problem. Not sure where to go from here?

Hi,
take the board out of the case to test it on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration (CPU, one memory stick, video card, Keyboard and power connectors, nothing else). Make sure every kind of connection (front panel etc. to the case is removed).
Then clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU and try to power-Up the board. Try both of the following methods to power-up the system:
1. use the little red onboard-power-on-button (make sure you don't confuse it with the reset button)
2. shorten the two pins of the board's pin header that are usually hooked up to the case's power-on button with a screwdriver

i'm sure the hole for the cmos clear button in the i/o shield is the problem. the button is pressed by the i/o shield and your pc won't start.
a well known problem.
I remember reading about this issue before I built my P45 Platinum system. I made sure during the build that the button was not being pressed by the i/o shield.

Hi all. I've just registered after receiving a response from MSI Support informing to post this issue here.
I woke up today to find my newly built PC not switching on. It only turns on for a sec and switches off. I checked all the components to find the cause to find the cause. I found the motherboard where the error display code is and found this weird markings.
I have attached a photo showing the problem.
Please help.
Update:
The PC now starts and work but I am still worried this is going to cause problems to my other components. Motherboard is still in its early life. Bought in December and finished the build last week.

Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

So you got it working ? What did you change?
How old is that power supply? In theory that PSU is sufficient, however if it's been around the block and after a couple of years, PSU performance deteriorates and that could cause failed starts. The reason for asking is that the VX series manufacture was discontinued quite some time ago.
Also see this article http://www.anandtech.com/show/6953/sea-sonic-and-corsair-power-supplies-certified-for-haswell
Corsair has not confirmed that the VX series will be fully compatible with Haswell as it is no longer in production. It may or may not work.

MSI G41TM-E43 version 1.0 BIOS Recovery help

My PC keeps going into BIOS recovery mode and won't do anything else. It wants to grab the BIOS file off a USB drive, so I tried to download the BIOS file from MSI, put it on the drive, and then rebooted. The PC finds the drive, but keeps saying it can't find the file. I'm not entirely sure I have the right file, because the picture of the motherboard on the MSI web site doesn't match my motherboard, and the manual shows a different layout as well, presumably for version 2.
I need to know which BIOS file to download and what to name it. I have tried leaving the name alone, and I have also tried naming it AMIBIOS.ROM and AMIBOOT.ROM, which was suggested by some sites.
Can anyone help me find the correct file or help me reset the BIOS somehow? It may be that the motherboard is just broken, but I would like to be sure.
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for responding! It didn't occur to me to try that because all the trouble started when I removed the IDE DVD-ROM drive and installed a SATA DVD drive instead, so I figured it was related to something I had done. I'll try a new battery and see if it helps.
Thanks!

MSI P6N SLI board, trouble again

Well bought a new Adaptec 31205 raid card and a few Sas drives.
Strange enough the card is NOT seen by the board. Furthermore i cannot alter the bios of the board, nor the card gets detected.
Drives spindle, card is powered on, cursor stays at the left side of the screen.
Any suggestions for this problem are more then welcome.
Had to reinstall the Dell Scsi card and drives.
thanks,
Swa

ok, i give the info i got:
MSI P6N SLI board:
Intel extreme 6800 3 ghz duo processor
4 gb 800 mhz memory PC6400 Transend
Club 3d Radeon X1600 512 mb video card
Adaptec 31205 Raid controller with 256 mb cache
5 Cheetah T10 15k 300 gb drives
Right now Dell Perc4e controller (Scsi) in a PCI-E port (8 lanes) with 3 15k Scsi drives of 36 gb in Raid 5.
Board works with the Perc4E.
As said, drives spindle, lights on card are ok, no bios, not of the motherboard, not of the Adaptec.
Thanks,
Swa

PANAFLO FAN & MSI 945G PLATINUM BOARD

I just purchased the Thermalright XP90 and the Panaflo M1A 92mm Fan for my MSI 945G Platinum board and I noticed that the fan came with only two wires and my boards CPU/FAN 1 connection has four pins. Does this mean that this fan I just bought will not work with this board? What if I just connect it with only two wires, will I run into any problems or should I purchase a three wire cable for it or just get another fan with four wires?
Also, this fan came with no connector at the end of it as well, just bare wire that's it. Does this company ship all their fans like this and is everyone improvising their own connectors or what not?
Thanks for reading and hope to get some responses to this before I go out and waist more money again.

Thanks for the responses. However, I took a chance and hooked it up and the fan just so happens to be working fine and no problems at all so far. What I did was take a three wire plug off an old fan and plugged it into the fan and board. I do however have an extra pin showing now on the board where the cpu fan plugs into and I have no CPU fan RPM readings. I really don't understand why anybody would be so concerned at how fast the fan is turning anyway. As long as the thing is turning.

[Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

First post, whoo hooo
So what version of BIOS are u running? I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems. With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you. Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems. Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

G41TM-E43 overclocking issue

I have the G41TM-E43 mobo with an Intel Q6600 processor with 2GB Corsair XMS DDR2 RAM. The issue I'm facing is that despite me repeatedly changing the BIOS settings back to default, I get (50% of the time) an error message upon startup complaining about overclocking settings and prompting me to either continue or change the settings back to default. After about two weeks of this happening (I've tried using the BIOS reset jumper to reset the settings also) the processor no longer works and I've had to swap it out with a P4. I am under the suspicion that the board keeps trying to overclock the CPU regardless. I have, however made one attempt to OC using the EZ switches on the board, but have since turned off the system and flipped the switches back to factory position before this all happened. Is there anything I can do? Will a BIOS update help? I can post more details if need be. Thanks in advance.

Please provide information for all of the components in your system. Also is the CPU the 105W B3 or the 95W G0?

Power of the Press - MSI Neo4 SLI Bios Problem

For those interested, I just sent this to hardocp because they did the review on the MSI SLI Platinum. Since MSI headlines this review on their website, maybe hardocp can do something about this bios problem. Enjoy and please send more emails to hardocp so we can get this problem addressed! Believe me, Ive seen this works with washington politicians, I know it can work if we all do it.
I appreciate companies like yours doing extensive reviews about products. However, your review caused me and a whole bunch of others to purchase this board with enormous problems associated with it (check out the msi forums). The problem is that this board works only for 130nm chips in which you tested on. On the newer amd 90nm chips, this board is the worst performing sli board out in the marketplace (for both winni and venice core chips). You need to do something to stop people from buying this board because its just awful and the folks from MSI are silent on the subject.
It's gotten so bad that people have gone out and purchased other sli boards, transferred all of the equipment out of it and into the new one and guess what...voila, no problems. Anyway, some of those in the other user forums had the same problem but those other manufacturers quickly fixed the problem. Its just getting worse and worse. I feel like both msi (and I am MAD) and reviewers like you (unless you don't know about the problem) are silent on this and its cost me hard earned MONEY ($175 for the mobo) and hours and hours of time...
You have a LOT OF POWER with MSI and I can see it because they headline your review on their website (power of the press). For Gods sake, please do something before others make the same mistake or if you can get MSI to allocate resources to fix the problem...you would be HEROs! Thank you.

Ok, I guess I am confused some, where is the issue with the new cores? I have no issues running the San Diego core and the my memory at the listed and published speeds.....
Quote
Also is your MOBO the SLI type? I run the SLI Neo4 with a San Diego core without any issues. In fact I dropped it in and booted using the San Diego as a direct replacement for a older (if 6 months is old!!) 3500. I have OC'ed with Corecetner as far as I can push it and runs awesome!
Quote
GUys, I am not sure exactly what issues you are experiencing as there can be MANY factors! But my SLI Neo is running awesome! It overclocks (no Tiresmoke, i won't go into that in this forum ) and has NEVER once BSOD, or rebooted or even crashed! Not once and I push the crap out of this as it is my gaming box. Also TS you are SO correct on the clock settings on the ultras, you gotts make sure they are the same or it will cause issues. The only thing I am kinda bummed about is the lack of real performance with the dual 6800 Ultra's, but that is a Nvidia issue not MSI. Guys I may be blessed, but I have run three Neo MSI brds, 2 939 and 1 754 and never had any issues....
Quote
I have yet to experience any boot/reboot issues...So I think we should wait to hear more from this person before we assume anything...
Quote
I have the nForce4 SLI brd and i run a new San Diego..it booted up fine and zero problems. But man is this thing FAST
Quote
According to MSI, the Neo4 will work fine with the new cores, the Neo2 will need a bios upgrade
Quote
I set my brd up the first time for SLI with dual cards and have never had any issues..Sorry guys, but I guess it's the luck of the draw, but I have yet to ever ave an issue with any MSI brds..I have a Neo2,Neo4 and the older 754 slot Neo..no issues.
7 of your last 11 posts. Why man? Why?
This is from MSI at the "listed and published speeds"
Dear Customer,
Since the mb has not been certified to support the Venice and San Diego Core processors, please wait until beginning of June, 2005 for the release bios support for the mb.
Sincerely,

Look, I have already been threatened to be banned because of my sarcastic replies to you. Read every one of your responses I listed. Obviously OTHERS are having problems. WHY don't you help them instead of TAUNTING people that yours works. They are upset, and you make them feel dumb like it's their fault.
Man I have tried to contribute so much to this issue that at least 20 different members here are having, I have tested with an Asus SLI board, I have tried different BIOS's and posted results, I have theorized with others and I feel like you are slapping me in the face by restating time and time again "what problem mine works great"i
I'm on a verbal warning because I didn't have respect for you. Well how are you respecting the other people who have problems by saying you don't know what their issue is. Read up on it or help them, instead of creating tension. Please?

MSI 651 Combo / MS6769 Problem with Temperature

Hi. I´m having some troubles with my mb, since 2 weeks ago. Suddenly, it starts to appear that cpu temperature go 70 º C (158 º F), and i hadn´t do anything. I changed the cooler, and put some new grease, and nothing happen. Then i searched in this forum, and i found a message simmilar, that said something about upgrade bios, and thas what i recently do (WS6769 v1.0 originally, then V1.3, then V1.2). But nothing...
What should i do? buy another mb? I don´t want to.
Thanks.
Claudio

Well, i´m pretty sure that it is the mother board, because, i already changed all what´s possible to change: processor, RAM, hd, power supply, processor.
Din: I don´t know what´s "corecenter". I already upgraded BIOS (to v1.2 that supuestly fix my problem), and put thermal paste (grease? in spanish "pasta disipadora") between CPU cooler and CPU. And i do change the processor (i put a p4 1,8GHz), with other FAN processor (CPU cooler), and the same temperature.
Danny:Those details you ask me:
In a label on the power supply (lVoltage MAXAmpere): +5V 30A, +3.3V 20A, +12V 15A, -12V 0.8A, -5V 0.5A, +5Vsb 2.5A.
It is a Maxpower 300 Watts ATX, model PX300.
On BIOS PC Health: Sys Temp: 18ºC/66ºF, CPU Temp 66ºC/150ºF (up to 70ºC), CPU Fan speed 2909 RPM, Vcore 1.68V, 3.3V 3.26V, +5V 5.10V, +12V 12.03V, -12V -12.19V, VBAT(V) 3.26V, 5Vsb(V) 5.14V.
I have a Celeron 1,8 GHz, socket 478, a MSI 651 Combo MS6769 Motheboard, with nothing else. Hd Maxtor 30Gb, Rewriter MSI 52x24x52.
The problem: From one day to another, it wasn´t load XP. It resets itself after a few seconds (about 5 secs). On the BIOS PC Health section, i actived the CPU Temperature beep on "too much degrees" (i don´t remember the exact name, but that´s the idea). And that´s how i realize that the temperature is the problem. I think it is how the motherboard inform the temperature, and it is a nominal temperature, not real. If it´s real, i already had a burnt processor.
Anything else that can help to find a solution for me?
Very thanks.
Claudio

MSI K7N2G-L & hardisk problem

I have problem with WD 40 GB harddrive on MSI K7N2G-L board.
BIOS is not able to detect this HDD (i tryed everything, master, slave, combinations...), but on another computer, this harddisk going without problems !!!
Is it "incompatible" disk ??? Because when i used older WD 20 GB on MSI K7N2G-L, disk work without problem.
I dont understand... i flashed lastest bios (3.2).
Sorry for my english.

Hi,
I have the same problem. I upgraded an existing computer by replacing the MB, CPU and RAM. The primary master is a WD 40GB 7,200 rpm drive, the primary slave is a Maxtor 15 GB. The Secondary master is a DVD and the secondary slave is a Teac CD-RW. The original computer works fine with the drives jumpered and cabled as is. When I put in the K7N2-L, on boot up the BIOS won\'t detect any drives, the BIOS just hangs up. When I remove power cord from the WD the BIOS detects all other drives. I tried just having the WD as sole HD and jumpered to be only HD but same thing. I also tried WD as only HD and cable select, same problem. When I put old MB back in the computer boots okay so I don't belive it's the jumper settings or cables. Suggestions?

DC In Board or Logic Board problem?

I have a 12" iBook G4 that's about 2 years old. It's been having intermittent problems reading the charger for awhile now and would flash charging and then not charging over and over again before it would begin to charge up again. This weekend it decided to stop reading the charger completely. The battery works fine in another computer and another battery works fine in it -- it just won't charge again once it loses it's juice.
It also will not work with just the power adapter plugged in with no battery. The little light comes on, but doesn't seem to pump power into the computer. And it's not an issue with the charger as it charges our other iBook just fine.
I've read conflicting info elsewhere about what it actually could be so I'm hoping someone could shed some light. Does it sound like just a DC In Board problem? Or a bigger Logic Board problem? Any help would be great... thanks!

From what I have read on this forum, people have managed to get the DC In Board replaced for a little over US $100. This would be at an Apple authorized repair shop rather than by Apple itself. This is much less than the cost of a new MacBook. I don't know what might be available in your area, but it would be worth asking at a repair shop.
Good luck!
