Problem : MSI Motherboard PM8M3-V and RAM 2 GB

Hi all,
I am having a problem with my motherboard PM8M3-V and 2 Kingston 400 Mhz(1GB) 2.6v.
When I was using with 1GB memory ( 2x512 Kingston 400 Mhz 2.6v), it was working well. After I have extended to 2 GB(Put 1 more GB), it is restarting automatically (with blue screen) when the computer is a little busy. I have tested with both Windows XP and Windows 7. Both having same problem.
Please kindly answered me....
Can it be motherboard problem(MSI supports till 2GB) ?
Thanks

What about the memory voltage option? [2.6/2.65/2.7V?]
But it works fine with memory clock set to 166Mhz

Sound problems - MSI Motherboard and drivers

message:-
I have an Evesham Microcomputer and am having difficulty with the sound - distorted and sometimes slow. I decided to use Live update to ensure I have the most upto date drivers for the sound card and chip set, both VIA.
Unfortunately I am having a trouble down loading these update and installing. All I get after a few minutes of the download screen is error code 997. Any ideas about the down load or sound problem? System info below.

Well it looks like your board is an OEM board, which MSI doesn't officially support. But these drivers should work.

MSI GT72 2QE screen and ram

Hello,
I bought a MSI GT72 2QE-476NL. Some sites say its a IPS screen and some say its a TN..
Is there a way to check what screen i have?
Also i want to add a extra 8GB ram, but i cant find what type i have now, the 1 slot that is in use is not visible from the back..

the RAM is DDR3L 1.35v or less
other than that is just DDR3L the L means low voltage
the screens in almost every 17in MSI are TN based you do see some IPS at 15 and smaller
but not as much as other mfgs
i need to know how much ram you have then i can tell you how much you can add
the GT72 2QD base has 4 sodimm DDR3L slots ratted for 1600mhz
the 12GB models have 4GB+8GB in the slots under the keyboard leaving both bottom slots open
the 16GB models have 8GB+8GB under the keyboard still leaving the slots under the keyboard open
the 24GB models have 4GB+8GB under the keyboard and 4GB+8GB in the bottom meaning all slots full
the 32GB models are full 8GB X 4 and this is max ram supported
as far as i know they are all running at 1600mhz effective DDR3 my 12GB model 2QD 406 has 9-9-9-20 timings at 1600mhz 1.35v without your full model number or the first 8 char and number from the Serial number i can't say much more

MSI KT3 Ultra 6380E and (RAM)

Will the KT3 Ultra(6380E) support a 512mb DDR RAM at 400mhz?

I`m thinking the MB`s and memory are backwards complient, meaning sure 400MHZ memory will run in there, but the MB will not be able to run it @ 400MHz only 333. Right from MSI product info page.
Main Memory
- Supports six memory banks using three 184-pin DDR DIMMs
- Supports a maximum memory size up to 3GB
- Supports 2.5V DDR200/266/333 DDR SDRAM DIMM

MSI K9A2 Neo-F and RAM Voltages, Timings.

Hi, I recently purchased the K9A2 Neo-F mobo and just yesterday picked up a 2x2GB kit of DDR2 (800) OCZ Platinum memory. The RAM can run at 2.1 V to achieve better timings but I'm not sure if pushing the voltage on the motherboard is possible or safe. In BIOS, all of the DRAM settings are greyed out.
The RAM is currently at 371.5 MHz with a 6-6-6-18 timing. Could be at 400 MHz with 5-4-4-15.
Any help/advice is appreciated.

1 The processor speed in MHz is pre-set.
2 The bus to the outside must have the same speed in both ends of the line, of course.
3 2600 in this example can't gear down to and use the bus speed 400 with a "decimal" figure. It simply can't!
4 It uses the closest upward figure, to get as close to the speed as possible.
The multiplier isn't exactly involved here in this example, but for the resemblance of the figure 7. It is a bit complicated, but you want a fast processor and cheap memory. At the same time you want the processor to work smoothly with the memory. So they use a clock multiplier to get a fast processor. When it has done it's job, the data sent out uses a speed geared down to a usable speed, which is the maximum speed of the bus.
To complicate things a little more... No, let's stop here.

Problem with K8N neo2 plat. and ram

Hello everyone
Recently I had 2*512mo of PC3200 ( double side ), they hold all approximately 235mhz has 2.5/3/3/8 1T (tested separately)
But, when I puts them into dual they are stable under memtest always with 235 2.5/3/3/8 1T but are unstable under Windows, under xp they are stable until 207mhz maximum whereas they hold much higher under memtest
If I want to be stable A 235mhz under Windows it is necessary that I put them in 2T but y' has an enormous loss of perf
I tested different bios (1.37mod, 1.4 official, 1.41mod, 1.5 official, 1.8r3mod, 1.9 official and 1.B4mod) and always the same problem I also tested on port 1 and 3 (near to the CPU) and 2 and 4 but there it is still worse
Here if you have suggestion they are the welcomes
In advance thank you

MSI 975x Powerup edition and ram question

I am thinking on upgrading my ram on the board mentioned above I have 2GB or corsair which works fine anyone here know if I add another 2GB does it need to be corsair or could I use something like kingston or kingmax or whatever? Or does it need to be the exact same corsair ram. In the past this wasn't an issue but this board is extremely fussy.
I am wondering if it would affect dual channel operation. The corsair ram is about 100 dollars more for 2GB not a big deal I just don't feel like driving to another city to get it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Take care,
Bob

you should get all 4 sticks the SAME model name. If you get different sets of pairs, it's more likely they will run into issue. However, in most case, they still can run just good enough. But if you're going into overclocking, you will hit the bottleneck easier compared to 4 same sticks.

MSI Motherboard Warranty??

Hi just wondering if there was a warranty on MSI Motherboards in Canada and how long is it good for?
I bought a K9AG-Neo Digital 2 I think it was called early 2008 and it seemed to have a total break down the other day.
I went looking for the store I bought it at and they appeared to be closed now. Will I get any warranty on this?
I'd like to know ASAP. I haven't had any response from the Support Request and I don't see any number to call either.
So..if I need something new I want to get it as soon as possible.
thanks!!

Hey there.....not sure where someone got the idea I had a X2 4200+ in my board, unless you were looking at my original registration info. I used to have that cpu about 7 months ago before I upgraded. I never overclock cpu's or anything as I don't know enough about that subject to risk anything. I do a lot of video rendering with After Effects CS3 and I wanted to upgrade to more RAM someday soon and see what kind of positive effect multiprocessing would have on it with the quad core. As a matter of fact, I was doing a video rendering when I came back in the room to find this "horrible accident scene."
As for the store, it was in Kelowna, BC (Canada) on Highway 33. I did a search on the internet today and I don't see the same store there anymore. It wasn't a huge store, just a guy and his crew repair and upgrading and selling a few computers. I should be able to track down the name of the company at least after calling nearby people. I'm in a different city though 130 kms away (Osoyoos, BC) and it's really tiny!!
What other info should I give? The powersupply and case were new from the same guy. He sold them to me together. He had a great respect for MSI saying they had the best policies and he couldn't stand Asus.

Problematic Motherboard MSI Z68a GD80 (B3) and bad customer service

I opened a support ticket at MSI's support site (http://support.msi.com/index.php?mod=questions&dop=reply_list&question_no=102573) and still waiting for a response since last week. Not only that, but there is no way you can talk to customer support and you can only submit tickets online. What if your PC is not working because of the MSI motherboard? How is then the customer able to talk to customer support?! eh!!!?!?!???
To describe the issues I experience I will copy-paste some of the info from my existing support ticket....
Recently I noticed that my new PC's performance degraded considerably, without me having made any changes to its settings, software or hardware. After extensive testing I realised that the RAM was faulty so I replaced it with new DIMMs which I tested again and work correctly. However after replacing with new RAM (memeory is in the "approved" list of the motherboard) the PC's performance is still very slow, especially when it comes to hard disk access. So I tested all, memory, hard disks (checkdisk, defrag, and also used WesternDigital utilities to check all disks) and all tests came back fine. I also checked all BIOS settings and re-installed all Motherboard drivers to ensure that the issue was not due to a damaged driver file. But none made a difference. So given that everything appears to be working correctly and all tests for individual components come back as normal, I uspect that it's the motherboard to blame.
In addition to the above the PC has now started behaving strange too: when rebooting pc restarts..and then turns off and then on again and off again. ...or it restarts but then does not boot at all. Just now i turned it off and then on again and the pc behaves as if it boots up but nothing is showing on the screen. not even the bios.
Once, when i turned on the PC and when logged into windows I got a popup saying "you have booted from your second BIOS rom. Please update your BIOS using Live Update". I then went to live update and it said i am running the latest BIOS.
The issues exist also outside the OS. I also tried to boot from Norton Ghost DVD and take a backup from there and see the backup speed (which normally takes an hour). It took 2-7 times more, depending on the PC's "mood". I also tried booting from a DVD into Windows PE (pre-installation environment) and tried to take a disk backup from there too. Same issue everywhere.
I did various tests with Western Digital to eliminate the hard disk, and all come out fine. I even formatted the hard drive (low level format) and reinstalled a fresh OS. The problem was still there and the mouse pointed would stutter when the disk was active.
Another thing I noticed which might help: sometimes disk to pc/disk-over-network file copying works at a reasonable speed. But local-disk to local-disk copying is very slow and affects the mouse pointer and overall pc performance.
I use this PC for business so it's critical that this is fixed asap or that I am sent a replacement motherboard promptly before I send this one back so that I am not left without a working PC.
Any suggestions?

Well on the MSI UK website that is the only support which is listed for motherboards! Global or not, that's the one listed there.
Yes, I know. But there is an E-Mail Contact listed for RMA procedures. When you go to the Global support site:

If you live in the following country and have any request about RMA, please go to Online RMA Request:

Ok, I will contact both the reseller and send an email to the email address you mentioned and see what happens.

In fact the reseller has an online system specifically for returns and as per UK distant selling regulations their system does not accept any returns and won't allow you to make a returns request after 28 days from the date of purchase. ..and given that I've been dealing with these issues for 10-14 days weeks now I am not sure they will allow a returns request. But I will contact them and see what they will say.
Yes, contact them.

Dear sir/madam
Thanks for contacting MSI technical support.
Regarding your concern,if the issue appears when loading windows,we suggest you reinstall your os for a try.If it appears when post,we have to suggest you contact your reseller (The place you bought this MB from) and have them test the MB completely for you to check if this MB is faulty or not, then ask for some help.
If the reseller for some reason cannot help, we have to ask you to contact MSI distributor or MSI office near your place to seek further help.
Thanks for your cooperation in advance!

Possible Motherboard Problem (MSI K7T266)

Last year I won a MSI K7T266 motherboard and AMD Athlon 1800 from the AMD extreme performance giveaway. I build a system and everything was fine until two months ago. I started to get the blue screen of death while running Windows 2000 Pro. I figured out that one of my three sticks of 2100 DDR RAM has gone bad by removing them one by one until the computer was semi-stable. Without the bad stick of RAM the computer boots and allows Windows to load. The problems started again when a program would cause an “illegal operation” the computer would restart. The computer is now to the point where it will not load Windows correctly 90% of the time. The computer boots past BIOS and then starts loading Windows. At the welcome screen there is a short pause, and then the power to the motherboard flicks off and it starts over. This will go around and around until Windows finally loads completely or I get sick of it and turn the power off. My problem is that I’m not sure what component is causing the problem. Does this sound like a motherboard, RAM or processor problem? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Msi video card n240gt and n9800gt problems with output HDMI

Hello to all
I have a problem I just bought a new Video card because I needed HDMI output. The previous card I have is a BFG Ge Force 8800GT 512 DDR2 running @ 1920x1080p 60Hz which works perfectly the only downside is it does not have HDMI out with 5.1. Now i installed the n240GT 512 DDR5 and tried watching BD ripped to the HDD and playing them back all i get now it jerking lagging bad also and have horizontal red and green lines scattered across the screen.Which i did not have with my 8800GT card thinking its a bad card so i bought another card from another dealer this time its a MSI N9800GT 1gig DDR3 and still the same problem.I Checked the resolution and its set to 1920x1080P refresh at 60Hz,i also changed the Hz to 24Hz and it cleaned up the lines but not all and picture still jerky picture. I have a MSI K9N NEO V3 Motherboard and all drivers updated current Bios. l used a DVI cable 40ft long with my Ge Force 8800GT and every thing worked fine, once I installed the new MSI Video cards N240gt and N9800GT I have the above problems and using a 50FT HDMI cable. I have a Samsung PN50A550 with 3 HDMI inputs 1 has my BluRay player hooked up with HDMI running at 1920x1080P at 60Hz and crystal clear picture no problems, input 2 has my HD Bell receiver running at same specs as input 1 no problems I tried the other HDMI inputs from the Samsung TV from the HDMI out from the card same thing. It has to be the cards that can`t support the TV what else can it be if not the MSI cards. Please respond ASAP Thanks Thumpalong

You may want to borrow and test with another PSU.
We always recommend Corsair and Seasonic
I can't find anything on Topower other than that opinion piece of linked... getting frustrated. Most of the time I can find detailed info on most psu's not this time, so best to borrow and test.
Assuming of course that the older VGA's worked fine.

I have MSI motherboard and MSI GE2Ti 64MB and can\'t get over 30 fps

I am addicted to playing CS, I used to have a PIII 866 motherboard that crashed. I bought a MSI motherboard with a Celeron 1.7 and I have a MSI Ge2Ti 64MB DDR video card. I used to have over 70 fps when playing in the old days, however with this new motherboard I cant get over 30 fps. I thought that my video card was the culprit and I bought a new ATI Radeon 9000 with 128 MB DDR. After installing it, I still have less than 30 fps ?( ;(
Before I purchased the Radeon, I tried tweaking the videocard with the rivatuner, but I had no great success.
The motherboard has a built-in video, can it be conflicting with the AGP card?
My motherboard is a MS-6524 and my video card is a MSI Ge2-Ti model 8855
Any help is appreciated!

Running a P4 (or celeron4) with SDR memory results in very poor preformance, it's basicly ment for office/internet use.
That I would expect is a big part of the slowness, in fact a celeron 1.7 with SDR could very well be slower than the PIII 866 in many aspects.
Remember the P4 1.5 wuth RDRAM using the i850 chipset was barely any faster than the PIII 1.0GHz at the time it was released!
It might be a little late now, but if you need to keep your RAM the only CPUs today that could get something out of SDR are the AthlonXP's and PIII/Celeron socket370.
And AthlonXP 1800+ costs about the same as the celeron 1700 you have and a basic board with SiS735 or VIA KT133A chipset will cost about the same.

Survey - For all 875p and 865pe : Would you buy MSI MotherBoards Again???

I dont know if this should be done here in MSI's forum but im really pissed off with these boards and until they fix those MANY BUGS i can only speak badly about them.
All i know is that i have another P4 with the Gigabyte's 8INXP Motherboard (7205 chipset) and it's stable as hell...running for almost a year now, it's much older and yet AGP 8x WORK'S WELL!!
I spent alot of money on this new system and i'm already feeling sorry for it...i was going for an ASUS P4C800 deluxe and that's what i should have done...more money but much more reliable.Should have read the forum before buying my 875p-Neo.
Well give your opinion...
My opinion is...i had never experienced computer chaos until now!!!
So with this image of MSI i will not buy another Motherboard from them.

Well I have to tell everybody that I Personaly happen to think that MSI Makes The Most Stable Motherboards that I have Ever Used ....I have owned a total of 9 Different MSI Boards over the Years, and I still have 2 Boards in operation in my home right now.....If you see by my signature that My 2'ND System I have running now is the Brand New ABIT IC7-MAX 3, And the Only reason that I purchased the ABIT is because I wanted a System that was going to be a "Shoe In" for the Pentium Prescott as far as the ability to be able to provide enough stable V-Core Voltage, as the ABIT IC7-Max 3 has From the Begining of it's inception was ment to be a Prescott Board (as the IC7-G is really thier i875 Canterwood Board), ABIT says that the New IC7-MAX 3 was built for the Prescott with the Options to provide more Voltage going to the CPU, As it has 4 Phase Power (instead of the usual 3 Phase) it also has the new OTES technology which isolates the Mosfetts and the Output transistors and capasitors with huge Heatsinks and thier own Dedicated Enclosed Fan assembly that blows the hot air off of them and removes it to outside of the Case.....But other then the Fact that this Board is Built for Heavy Overclocking in Mind as I can reach 290 MHZ FSB at a 1:1 Memory Ratio, This board also Cost a Fortune compared to to my MSI Boards ...When this ABIT first Came out it was almost as exspensive as BOTH of my MSI Boards put together !! I am not kidding, This Board was Well over $300 US in Late September, And on top of this All of these model ABIT Boards Needed to go back to the Factory because of a DDR and VTT Voltage Problem ...So Would I by another ABIT product..Absolutely NOT would I buy anothe MSI product, well put it this way , I have the New I865PE-PFISR Extreme Edition On order, And on top of it all I think that MSI Does have the BEST Tech. Support (all you have to do is Call!!) and where are you going to find a Product FORUM that has A better Administration and Moderation Team....Not to mention all of the Great Members that go the Extra Mile in order to Help One Another....You wont Find Better, Just Browse the other Websites..ie ASUS, VIA, AOpen, ABIT, Gigabyte,....All that you see in those sites is a bunch of Ranting and No HELP.........MSI ROCKS............Sean REILLY875
