Problem with P45 Platinum during POST

Good day!
I have MSI P45 Platinum mainboard and from to time to time it freezes during POST with AMI bios POST code - 423C. This happens right after the message that "4096MB OK" and before the detection of SATA/IDE drives. When this happens, the only way to make the system run is to turn off the power (pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del of Reset would result in the same error) - after that the POST procedure finishes correctly and I don't experience any problems afterwards (system is rock-solid after POST completion).
So my question is - can anyone explain me what does this post code mean (D-Leds are not much of a help)? Is this a mobo problem or may be there is some kind of incompatibility with my hardware. I should mention also that I've tried all versions of Bios both official and beta without any success.
This problem does not trouble me that much (doesn't happen often), but still I would like to understand what may cause it.
P.S. My system config - iC2D E8300/MSI P45 Platinum/4x1Gb DDR2-800 Geil Black Dragon (5-5-5-15)/MSI Radeon 4870 1Gb OC edition/HDD 250 Gb WD + 120Gb Seagate/SB Audigy 4/DVD-RW Asus 1814/PSU TT Toughpower 700w (w0105)
Thanx in advance and please excuse my poor English

Thank you for the reply!

What is your current BIOS Version?
I've recently flashed the latest beta bios version - 1,5 beta 6... but it produces the same error as did the latest official bios v1.4

Does the same problem occur with only one memory module installed?
I don't know actually. But thanks for pointing this out - I will test the system with one (and then with two) module(s). I've tested the modules with the memtest86+ software (the latest version, which supports P45 chipset) several times and it showed no errors. So the modules are OK and they worked without any problems with my previous mb (Gigabyte P35-DS3).

What do the POST-Status LEDs of the board tell you, when the system freezes at the described stage?
Well, I guess I don't fully understand what does the combination of LEDs tell during the freeze. I'll try to describe the combination -
LED12 - OFF LED13 - GREEN
LED8 - RED LED7 - OFF
LED14 - OFF LED10 - GREEN
LED15 - RED LED11 - OFF
In mobo's manual this diagnostic LEDs are grouped in 4 groups and the description of the group that most closely resembles my case is - "Testing base and Extended memory etc." But I'm not sure that I'm identifying the problem correctly, because of the LEDs that are OFF.
Quote from: Jack the Newbie
Are you experiencing any freeze and/or stability problems appart from the described problem?
No, as I said in my initial post, once it get past this stage everything is running smoothly - OS boots and all software, including the most demanding games or tests, are running OK.

Hard drive problems with 975X Platinum edition

Hi guys.
I was wondering if you could help.
I recently upgraded my pc after the power supply was shot on my old one, I decided it was time I did a big update anyway, as it was using non pci express etc.
I plumped for the 975X Platinum complete with Samsung DVD writer, nividia 8800GTX and two Western Digital SATA II drive, a 250GB for my 'C' drive and a 500GB for my 'D' drive.
Everything went in fine, install Vista Premium perfectly, I copied across my documents I'd backed up onto an external drive onto the 'D' drive no problems...however, after downloading some Vista updates, I went to do a reboot, and it hung during POST.
After much frustration the D-thingy lights were showing it was halting during the IDE Controller initialisation. By a process of elimination, I discovered the bios won't get through POST while the 500GB 'D' is connected.
I've checked that it's not the SATA cable, the power cable, the SATA socket on the motherboard...but it just will not start up with that drive hooked up. However, if I starting Vista without the 'D' connected, then connect it while it's running (yes, I know I shouldn't really do this), do a scan for new hardware, the drive starts up mounts itself as 'D' and works happy as anything.
Could you tell me if there's some configuration I have wrong in the BIOS, or is this just simply a faulty hard drive??? As far as I know I have everything set up in BIOS correctly, such as having SATA set to IDE and not RAID etc...but I guess I could have missed something.
Any help you can offer would be much appreciate...before I decide to just send the hard drive back and hope it is that, and not something I'm overlooking.

Sorry, yeah, I got a little carried away and excited.
The problem I noticed using the Western Digital tool was that it was seeing both the drives as the 'C' drive, so obviously on booting with them both connected, it was getting into a mess.
I have no idea if I should have done this in the first place, but, when I put it all together, on the main board, there appears to be one SATA connector that's set on it's own, under the others. I'd used that for the DVD writer and placed the hard drive ones all together. So I just swapped the 'C' hard drive into the lone connection, and put the DVD Writer and 'D' drive into the ones that are clumped together. It seemed to boot up fine, then using the Western Digital tool again, set up the 'D' drive.
I've had no problems since.
I always thought that SATA was just plug it in, and it sorts itself out...so dunno if I should have done that in the first place. I'm still getting used to the newer stuff...I've made do with none PCI Express and IDE for ages now.
It must have been me setting it up wrong in the first place I guess.

P45 Platinum no post

Got a little(read : big) problem with my pc atm.
Specs:
Mobo : P45 Platinum Bios:1.7f? I think, cant switch it on to check...
CPU : Q6600 @ 3Ghz
Ram : 2x2g Patriot 800
GFX : HD3850
PSU : Thermaltake Toughpower 650w
Hdds : Unplugged
DVD : Unplugged
On Saturday it was fine at the lan I went to.
Took it to my cousins house to fix her pc. What I did was swap my gfx and ram with her gfx(x1900xt) and ram(1x2g 800 Samsung).
It basically did nothing, all 4 leds stayed red. Means cpu failure in the book, now my 6600 didnt move so it should be fine. I tried resetting bios, tried taking out the cmos battery, change ram and gfx back. Remove ram, gfx, and cpu entirely so I can hope to hear an error beep, but nothing. Tried a different cpu, my e7400 that I changed for the 6600 and still just 4 red led lights.
I'm not sure what else I can try, I've got the mobo out on the desk with just the psu, ram, and cpu hooked up. No gfx atm cause I just want it to give me an error post beep.
I have noticed that all the led lights(blue and red) on the board start almost pulsing after a few seconds of the power being on.
Does this mean dead mobo? Its about the last thing I can attribute it to.
I can swap any part if need be(I have already).
If anyone could help I would be grateful.

I got the pc setup on the desk in front of me atm.
All I can do is keep repeating the same string of non-working fixes that I've used before.
1 : Press clear cmos button on backpanel : not working.
2 : Use jumper to clear cmos on mobo : not working.
3 : Remove battery to clear cmos : not working.
4 : Change cpu : not working.
I'll be waiting for a reply if anyone has any good advice.
Thanks.

Inappropriate Temperatures with P45 Platinum

Greetings to Everyone.
Ok, i bought MSI P45 Platinum recently. and i must say, i am quite impressed with whats it delivering at the moment. I tried setting FSB to 380 with multiplier:9 and left all the rest settings on auto. Machine performed POST without any issues. However, idle temps were around 66 degrees, as processor has stock HSF! So, shifted back to 3.04Ghz (380x8) with 1:1 divider and with memory timings: 4-4-4-12.
Everything went fine. System passed IntelBurn Test, Prime95 and 3DMark06 stability and benchmark tests with flying colors. Super-Pi 1M was calculated at 15 secs. I say not bad for Q6600 @3.04Ghz!
However, during all these tests i constantly faced errorenous temperature display with utilities. I consistently monitored everything on CoreTemp, RealTemp, Intel TAT, HWMonitor, SpeedFan and as well as MSI Dual Core Centre! (lol had to be sure which one gave accurate, so tried everyone of em! :D) Now, here is the thing:
Except Dual Core Centre, everyone else showed temps @ idle around 60 degrees and @ load around 75 degrees! While dual Core showed idle @ 48 degrees and @ load around 56 degrees! Another thing, both CoreTemp and MSI utlity showed same readings with Core percentage usage.
See, everything seems so normal. I am using CoolerMaster Elite 333 cabinet with two 120mm fans at front and back. My GPU idles around 55 degrees and hard disk temperature never crosses 40 degrees! So, what is wrong with CPU temperature??
Please, i desperately need your advice on this.
Another thing, my friend is using P35 Platinum and everything same as mine. However, his machine never crosses 47 degrees at idle @ 3.0Ghz! Then why mine?
Thanks...

awesome!! Three senior members helping me. Plus, thanks for such a fast response.
Thank you henry, Jack and Frank..!
I followed your advice and reseated heat sink assembly after cleaning the CPU heat spreader and applying AS5.
In the beginning, something went wrong and realtemp showed all cores above 95 degrees!! For some time i took that as a joke. But, later i reseated HSF assembly again and this time everything went fine. I am right now @2.4Ghz and processor idles around 46 degrees. Pretty pleased with the results. Ran Intel Burn test for an hour and temps rarely crossed 75 degrees!! (And ohh btw, that Intel Lin Pack really shoot temps like anything! What a thing!) Ok, everything went fine.
However, there are few things i would like to clear..
1. That EVGA card blows too much of heat within the cabinet! Only raising the fan speed to 60% helps bringing down the overall system temps by 4-5 degrees!! I mean, i dont want to sound naive...but is it supposed to happen this much? And somehow if it does then what can i do? Comments please...
2. I think, Q6600 can be o/c'd pretty easily on this board. However, i have few doubts..
(a) Do i always have to stick with 9 multiplier?? I mean, i tried with 8, and everything went fine. But, if everything is good to go with 9 multiplier then there is options for lower figures? I mean are there any benefits with different figures?
(b)Spread spectrum should be left enabled while overclocking?
(c)And what about Green Power and EIST? EIST should be disabled while overclocking. But can we leave Greenpower on?
(d)I may have options to go for CoolerMaster CPU cooling setups. Why coolermaster only? Ok, thats because, in here, we dont have brands like Arctic, Thermaltake or Zalman in markets! :( I mean, they can be ordered through net, but i think its better to purchase from a retailer with all bills and stuff. Anyways, suggestions required for a descent CoolerMaster CPU cooler. That'd be good right?
(e)How much difference does third party cooler can make in comparison to a stock one?
Thank you again for ur replies.

Problems with Audigy Platinum and Firew

Hi,
I've been running my Soundblaster Audigy Platinum on my Win2k-System for some years and have just encountered some weird problems with the Firewire-Connector. When I connect an external DVD-Burner everything works fine. But when I connected an external harddisc for the first time recently, the system completely flipped and rebootet without any messages. When I connected the dri've via USB it wasn't recognized automatically (what it should have after the manual) but after installing the Drivers on the Disc. Afterwards also the Firewire-connect was possible, the dri've was recognized and appeared in the Explorer. So far so good.
But now, everytime I try to copy files larger than some Megabyte the dri've stops copying and I get an error message. Then the dri've disappears in the explorer. When I connect the dri've to my Laptop (XP Pro System) everything works fine. I already tried to google the problem and found some users with the same problem, unfortunately no answers to their posts. Is there someone who can help me (us)?
By the way, I already tried to re-install the drivers for the audigy...

hi kakarocht, tks for help me.
My mobo is new, i buy all the config recently.
i'm searching in the forum, and found this topic https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=85631.0
my HD SATA is the same of this, i will try to remove it, and then tell here for you.
sorry for my english again.

P45 Platinum - Triple Posting/Dual Posting

Hi...
I searched many places on the net but could not come to a resolution. This seems like 'the' place. Well I have a P45 Platinum. It always double posts/triple posts before boot up. And this only happens on cold boot. So if I power down, and leave the UPS on, boot up is normal. If I turn the UPS off, then it mult-posts.
1. Will start (fans spin and no display) for 2 seconds.
2. Goes off for 2 seconds.
3. Again (1)
4. Again (2)
5. Again (3)
6. Again (4)
7. Posts and starts normal.
My system config is as:
MSI P45 Platinum (BIOS 1.6 dated 02/20/2009)
[email protected]@1.432V + CM Hyper 212
Corsair TWIN2X4096-8500C5(5-5-5-15)@2.1V@1016Mhz (could not get it to 1066 Mhz)
2 x HD4890[Xfire]@1000/900[MEM/GPU]
Corsair 650TX
Seagate 180GB+80GB
The CPU OC is perfectly stable. Have stressed it using OCCT / Prime95 / RealTEMP / Furmark. Can game for hours with no issue. Temperatures are good too.
thanks a ton....!
Anil

Remove your OC Settings...
Okay I bought the system to default, by loading and committing all values using the F6 in the BIOS. The system is first posting perfect.
FSB:DRAM ration = Auto
V - DRAM = Auto
SS = Yes
Ram is running at 534.6 Mhz (1:2 DRAM:FSB) @ 5-7-7-24.
Now the question is: How do I get this baby to run at 4.0 Ghz. With the quickest RAM speed. If I can not get quick RAM speed no issue, but I want the 4.0 Ghz speed for the CPU.
Quote from: Del UK on 06-January-10, 22:37:31
With the overclock you achieved and components..... I am 90% sure, that PSU (Even though good quality) does not have the power for first cold boot.
If you leave UPS on, parts of system still receiving power, so not as hard on PSU.
As quick test, what happens, if you removed 1 of the graphics cards and boot from cold?
I will give this a try, but default settings are working fine -- if I cannot get the 4.0 Ghz with quick RAM option, will load the OC and try with one GPU.

After my last reconfig, I tried to load the drivers for the sound card. I kept getting a problem with the computer restarting in mid-install. After finishing the install in Safe Mode, I went to load a midi file and my computer restarted without warning. After trying to upgrade to the new beta drivers, my computer restarted once more (stopping at the soundfont driver). Apparently, the SoundFont drivers no longer work in my setup. I'm currently using the MS GS Wavetable Synth for MIDI.

Doubt about overclocking with p45 platinum

hi guys
i have a Q8200 processor and an MSI p45 platinum motherboard.
now the multiplier on the processor is 7
now using a a bus speed of 400mhz i was able to achieve a 400 * 7 = 2.8Ghz on my processor from 2.33
now when i use cpuZ it shows that im currently running at 1600fsb
now as per the board specs 1600 fsb is the maximum.
now does this mean that i wont be able to overclock further ?
i am currently using transcend 800 mhz DDR2 ram
i have the memory divider set at 1:1
so the rams are running at 800mhz
now if i try to further overclock the board, it results in a no boot. i get a single green light and rest 3 are red and the mother board restarts 3 times and then i get the overclock failed message could some 1 advise me on how to go further increase my overclock ?
i have tried to increase my processor voltage and my ram voltage by quite a bit (not over the safe limit though) but still not able to boot :(

Quote
now as per the board specs 1600 fsb is the maximum.
This just states that Processors that natively run @400 MHz FSB Clock Speed are supported. It has nothing to do with overclocking margins.
Try this for a quick test:
- turn off the system
- remove both OC Jumpers to force the FSB Clock Speed to 400 MHz
- Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU
See if the system boots and runs stable. If it does, use the BIOS for further overclocking from the 400 MHz Strap. As you are forced to overclock your memory modules as well when you raise the FSB Clock Speed beyond 400 MHz try raising the memory voltage to 1.9-2V to see if that helps.
Spread Spectrum should be enabled at all times in the Cell Menu.

10.6.8 Upgrade Problems with Google Display Error post install

Hi -- I just upgraded my IMac to 10.6.8 in anctipation of migrating to Mountain Lion later this week.   While the installation went very smoothly, it seems I am having a problem with the Google display.    When I open Google, the search box has no lines around it and when I enter the box, it jumps to the Google search in the menu bar, and I can't read what I'm typing.
I've tried a multitude of other sites where there are search boxes, log in boxes, etc, but I am only having problems with Google.   Any thoughts?

boy these forums really help you out. having similar issue and no one seems to have a clue why 10.6.8 screws everything up. I did notice the active directory plugin version changed from 6.5 to 6.5.1. They did something.

Problems with WiFi network connectivity post 2.1 upgrade

Have been having problems with WiFi connectivity since installing the 2.1 upgrade. When attempting to view some websites I get a "Safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" message. The same addresses can be resolved from my iMac at the the same time. Other websites don't have problems. Funnily enough www.apple.com is one of the effected sites.
I can also only sporadically gain access to the App store & the iTunes store from the device. I mostly get a message stating - "Cannot connect to iTunes store".
I am connecting through a WPA encrypted access point. I have tried restoring the device, resetting network settings, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this? After work tonight I will temporarily set my access point to WEP, just to see if the problem may be related to WPA. I have read that the iPod touch is effected by this.
Thanks,
Matt

No problem. The iPhone uses lower power on the WiFi transceiver to save the battery. It won't have the 50 meter range that one might see for other devices. As long as it works reliably when it is closer to the access point it is working normally.

Problem with SAPSERVER.CMD during installation, nothing happens

In the process of installing in our test environment but I seem to have problems with the Oracle 9i installation. When i double click the file sapserver.cmd nothing happens.
I have tried the workaround with renaming "symcjit.dll" and changing parameter JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=-nojit -ms16m -mx32m in oraparam.ini file. Then rerun installation with command "install\win32\setup.exe -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true".
This time error message "<i>Could not initialize the Java virtual machine. Program will exit!</i>" occurred.
Can anyone please help me how to fix the problem. Thanks.

I am also facing same problem--
I have got IDES 4.7 CDs..
I am trying to install Oracle RDBMS 9.2 NT thru first CD... when I am running SAPSERVER.CMD it does nothing except showing wait pointer for few seconds.
it is actually creating three folders in TEMP folder images, jre, oui
I have tried running SAPSERVER.CMD from command prompt also but there was no luck.
When I tried to run SETUP.EXE there was same situation.
Even i tried to run setup.exe from \NT\I386 directory on command prompt with following command ...
SETUP.EXE -RESPONSEFILE E:\NT\I386\response\sapserver.rsp
but nothing could help me out...
I checked everywhere but could not find and LOG file which could explain me that what went wrong..
this is an appeal to all are techies.. plz help me..
I have tried it on two machines:
1) p4 2.66 512 ram 80+40 gb HDD 2000 server with sp4 and ie6, JRE, .NET framework 2.0
2) Dual core with 1 gb RAM 300 GB HDD 2003 Server with SP2 JRE, .NET framework 2.0
There was exactly same situation on both the machines..
Thank in advance

Problems with Bluetooth and stablity post Portico ...

I updated my Lumia 920 on ATT with the Portico update the day it came out in order to get the daylight camera improvements. I started having problems after the update, ironically problems that the update was supposed to fix:
1) Bluetooth connection with BMW does not stay alive, drops after a few minutes
2) When Bluetooth is connected, don't get sound and don't transmit sound.
3) Just the other day, the phone frooze while connected to Bluetooth. Had to put phone on speaker while calling, when I ended the call, the phone frooze. Had to soft reset, but still have problems with bluetooth stay alive.
4) Random reboots.
WIshing I had not done that update. Any way to roll back?

Unfortunately, seems like it . I would let the battery drain flat, then take it back to your local AT&T store and ask for a replacement. If they are being less than helpful, contact Nokia direclty by clicking the Nokia Support link at the bottom of this page.

USB problem with K8N Platinum BIOS 1.C

I was running the beta BIOS 1.CA to fix a problem with one of my CPU cores not being detected on a warm boot and it worked great.
When I noticed the official release BIOS 1.C I upgraded but I noticed problems with my USB mouse and keyboard sticking occasionally, the keyboard sometimes needed two or three presses to type and I was losing mouse clicks, gone back to the beta 1.CA BIOS and everything is fine again.
Anyone else noticed this with 1.C BIOS?

Yes, I've gone back to the beta BIOS now and everything's fine
I only upgraded to the release version because usually releases are more stable than betas, obviously in this case the reverse is true

P45 Platinum, Wierd post with 2X 8800gt sli'd

Finally got this system up and running, few memory issues n such but i worked though. Problem is, everytime i install both of my Nvidia 8800GT graphics cards with the stock "Crossfire" cable that came with my motherboard the boot stops at initializing the video and posts one long beep followed by two short ones. Is this Crossfire cable that came with my motherboard not compatible with Nvidia brand graphic cards? More importantly to me... lol wth do the beeps mean? I've looked everywhere for some sort of guide but the manual is without. any insight is appreciated and let me know if I've left any info you need out XD

Quote from: Jack t.N. on 27-September-09, 18:00:46
1) The Intel P45 Chipset does not support SLI (Dual-NVIDIA-Card-Setup)
2) You cannot use Crossfire Bridges to interconnect NVIDIA Cards (but ATI Cards only)
3) There is a difference between CrossFire and SLI Bridges
4) What you are trying to do will not work even on a board that actually supports SLI (2 * NVIDIA) because you are using the wrong bridge
5)
It indicates a video card problem (which is not surprising).
6)
The reason is obvious now, I hope.
appreciate the quick response. and yes listing it like that DOES make me feel like an idiot, thx for that.
