Pt880 neo system restart problems during gameplay

hello, im currently running the following setup on my computer. please forgive me if i leave anything out...
p4-3.4 prescott CPU
2x 512ddr400 ram (brand unknown) im upgrading to crucial 512 as these are loaner sticks from a friend.
Western Digital 160gb HDD
Radeon 9800 pro graphics card
Dynex ATX midtowercase
MSI pt880 neo mainboard
sony cdrw  crx230a
my powersupply is
voltage 115-230~
current 10a/5a
DC output is +5v/+22V/+3.3v
frequency is 60hz/50hz
and max output is 500watts
I use a thermaltake spark7+ cpu cooler
as well as 4 case fans, a cpu cooling duct and a lower exhuast fan.
my problem is this. while loading anygame or running a degfrag my system restarts. completely reboots. I have all the latest bios drivers ver.1.70 i belive. It appears to be a heat or power isssue. but i cannot be sure. my cpu temperature is usally around 56-60c. it seems very annoying because my friend has the same board and near same setup  allthough he is only running a 3.0. does the 3.4 prescott require an insane amount of cooling to run ? or is it a power issue? please help!  

what are the temp readings under load,also at idle.post in C
3.4 will run hotter than a 3.0
explain your cooling solution as far as how many fans,the location of them and the direction of the air flow
are you overclocked
what are you using for a thermal interface between the CPU and HEATSINK

  • MSI-7043 (PT880 NEO-FSR) Boot Problem

    I just installed this motherboard which I purchased on eBay from someone who swears it was working fine before.
    I installed it in the following configuration:
    MSI-7043 PT880 NEO-FSR Motherboard (Rev. 2.0) with BIOS version 2.0
    RaidMax Scorpio case with a 520-Watt RaidMax Power Supply (its older, but digital P/S tester says everything is OK)
    2x1Gig SuperTalent DDR400 RAM <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
    Intel P4 2.4Ghz Prescott CPU (FSB533) <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
    ThermalTake TR2-M12 CPU cooler <- New
    LG DVD-RW Lightscribe 22x IDE Drive <- New 2 weeks ago, was working fine in Compaq PC
    Seagate 320 Gig IDE Drive <- 2 Monthes old, was working fine in Compaq PC
    (Drive is partitioned 1-250Gig Bootable & 1-70Gig)
    Chaintech Nvidia FX5200 AGP Video Card <- Worked fine in Compaq PC
    High quality round 80-pin IDE cables
    No SATA drives installed at all
    The system POST's fine and recognizes all installed drives, but only occasionally will boot to CD-ROM, and will never boot to hard disk, just sits there with a flashing cursor. When it did boot into CD-ROM, I was able to boot Linux and browse hard drive fine. Booted once into MEMTEST and it ran for hours fine with no errors.
    I have tried defaulting BIOS several times, tried several configurations for boot sequence and using F11 Boot Menu. No matter what I do, booting from CD is hit and miss (1 out of 4 times will boot) and it will NEVER boot from the hard drive.
    Interesting thing is if I disconnect the hard disk, it will boot to the CD-ROM EVERY time (sort of), but I do have to wait until it says no boot record found on CD or floppy, then press ENTER to try again it boots
    After searching for through other posts, I have tried increasing the DDR RAM voltage to 2.6v with no change.
    Any ideas??? is there a BIOS limitation to the boot partition size of the hard drive, if so why would this affect booting to the CD?

    Ummm... never had that trouble before... It should at least start booting, or at least recognize the boot sector has a valid boot record.
    Those are all valid ideas, and I appreciate the input.
    BTW, I am not a newbie. I am a telecom, network, and computer technician with almost 20 years of experience. This is just the first time I have had a problem with MSI boards, I use them all the time and they generally work flawlessly. I understand operating system licensing, OEM versions, 32 vs 64 bit, and how to copy files from one drive to another using multiple different ways. I was just hoping that there was something simple going on that I was missing that someone would just say "Yeah, turn XXXXX feature off in the BIOS".
    I put an older 48x CD-ROM drive and a Western Digital 40 Gig in it and it worked beautifully, in the middle of installing Kubuntu Linux right now.
    I actually resized the boot partition down to 130 Gig with Linux Parted Magic and it booted OK.
    I think I actually had two problems with the previous setup:
    1) Boot partition was too large for the BIOS, the entire partition should not exceed the 134 Gig boundry (different sites say anything from 130-138 Gig) for the BIOS on the motherboard according to some articles I googled.
    2) The LG DVD-RAM drive was just too slow spinning up for the bios to recognize the boot partition on the CD or DVD.
    I resized the partition back up to 250 Gig and put the DVD-RAM, Hard Disk, Processor, RAM, and video card back into the Compaq, it is a fast (by standards of the day) and stable machine, I was just looking for a way to add some expansion capabilities for more PCI cards and possibly a SATA drive. Anyway put a 2.0 Ghz Celeron, 768 Meg of DDR266 RAM, a CD-RW drive, and a Matrox G450 Dual-Head 32 Meg AGP card I had laying around in place of of the old and will just delegate this to a Linux box.
    So far all seems fine, think I will just hold off putting too much into this machine since I was planning on building a new one this summer after USB 3.0 came out.
    Thanks.

  • APC UPS, Mountain Lion, and system restart problem

    I have a Mac Pro (3,1) and it's been running Lion (10.7.x) for a long time. It's connected to an APC UPS XS 1500 via a USB cable for years. I've never had any problems with it.
    Two weeks ago I updated to Mountain Lion (10.8.2). Since then I've returned to my machine to find that it had rebooted itself. After logging in, the system tells me that there was a problem and asks if I want to send the error report to Apple.
    Yesterday, I tried unplugging the Mac Pro from the UPS, plugging it directly into a wall outlet, and disconnecting the USB-UPS cable. So far, I've had no problem with system restarts.
    Has anyone had a similar problem? If so, did you solve it? How?
    Thank you.

    Hi, macjack. Thanks for your response.
    So far, with the MP plugged directly into a wall outlet I've had no system initiated reboots or shut-downs.
    I looked in the console log and there's so much stuff in there, I'm simply lost. Are there one or two keywords I should search for that might help in debugging the problem?
    Again, thanks.

  • HP Blackbird 002 gaming system restart problem

    Product name:  HP Blackbird 002 LCi
    Backbround:  Fantastic machine and very expensive.  When I bought it, I was told by HP that it will have tech support (not necessarily free) for life as long as HP was in business.  Apparently no longer supported according to three HP techs, Shsma, Mangish and Ajfhat.  So here I am.  I have upgraded harddrives and the operating system, from original Ultimate Vista, to Windows 7, to Windows 8 throughout the years.  Works like a charm.
    Problem:  I have had this problem with all three operating systems.  When ever there is a power failure or I shut down the computer, the led lights within the case blink constantly and I am unable to turn it back on by pressing the power button.  I have to unplug the computer, wait a while, plug it back in, then press the power button.  Then and only then, does it kick in and starts.  Is it the power supply?  Is it the motherboard?  Or is it, something simpler, like the battery on the motherboard?
    By the way, the front of the case has two buttons.  The left one has the power symbol.  The right one has a circle with a triangle inside symbol.  If it is the power supply can someone direct me to where I can purchase it?
    Thanks!

    HPB, welcome to the forum.
    Do you have the computer plugged into a surge supressor?  If not, using one may solve part of your problem.  However, if there have been many power failures, it may have damaged your power supply unit (PSU).  Here is HP PartSurfer to see if you can locate the PSU.  I am not familiar with the Blackbird, so I don't know what type of PSU it has installed.

  • 925x neo platinum restart problem

    Hi. i am new to this forum so hope i am going about this the right way.
    in my sig is the details of the system i am trying to get working but as of yet i have had no luck. Everything is pluged in and seems to be working the post display appears and then for a second the menu asking me to press delete to access bios appears, with in a second it has gone and the process starts over. one thing i found very odd was that when i plugged in my ps2 keyboard that menu no longer appears and all i get is the power saving mode screen again.
    On reading a few topics on the forum so far i have tried the following:
    swapped power supply from a q-tech 550w with the antec 550w that is mentioned in my sig
    checked that everything is connected
    disapled case fans incase lack of power
    have changed my sata drive to my ide one from another computer
    reset cmos
    changed the ram around as well as removing it altogether.( when removed alltogether all i get is a blank screen)
    I am running out of options and have alrdy had problems with wrong ram being sent and soforth delaying my computer build up for 3-4weeks 
    any help you can offer would be great. but it looks like i may have to send it back and wait another 1-2weeks to get a replacement
    thankyou for any help that you can give

    Hi!
    Good thing that you threw away the Q-Tec!
    Just a few things:
    - Are you able to access the bios?
    - Did you reset the CMOS already? If not, please do so (see your manual on how to do this) but always keep your pc disconnected when reseting the CMOS!
    - If this doesn't help, please disconnect everything from your board. Only keep the following connected: powersupply, cpu and fan, one stick of ram and your graphics card.
    Try to boot your system now. You should get an error message about the system being unable to find a bootable device.

  • PT880 Neo installing problem

    I am trying to install Windows XP, but it can't detect my hard drive. It is a Hitachi 83 Gb SATA drive plugged into serial 1. I know this has been asked many times. I searched the site, and many people say you have to install the SATA drivers during th install by pressing F6 during setup. Some also say if you are using serial 1 or 2, you should not have to install any drivers and Win XP should detect the drive without drivers. The problem is I don't know what/where these drivers are to do this. I have the MSI Drivers and Utilities cd that came with my motherboard, is the drivers on this?
    I am totally lost and any help would be great.
    My Specs:
    MSI PT880 Neo
    P4 2.8 GHz 533-MHz system bus, 512-KB L2, 800 FSB
    GeForce FX 5200
    Hitachi 83 GB SATA drive
    512 DDR ram

    I've had many problems with installing the W2k OS on a system with only SATA 1 installed. I have the PT880 Neo FSR MS-7043. I've read the posts here about the PSU, and my unit only has 16 amps on the +12V output. It is a Coolermaster RS-350-AMSR unit. I have the Intel P4 3.2G E (Prescott).
    Anyway, I got all the same problems. Sometimes I get file read errors during the o/s install, other times I can get completely through the installation, only to get the infamous blue screen later on.
    I have attempted this install on two identical systems, both have the same problems. I'm not so sure the current requirement on +12v is the answer because that voltage is used mostly for the PATA/SATA drives, floppy drive, and CD/DVD players. Anyway, I'm going to switch out the PSU with one that has at least 22 amps on the +12v as suggested here. The reason I say that is because I was able to build the other identical system and it worked fine until today - getting the **STOP** IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN error.
    For your French, I always saw the SATA in the BIOS setup page. Be sure the SATA only has one (1) power connector connected. Most of these drives have the legacy "white" 4 pin receptacle in addition to the SATA new power receptacle, which is "black" and has 5 pins. If you connect both of them, it will damage the drive.

  • K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem!When rising to 210fsb restarting,etc...

      I have a big problem which makes me angry...Actually there exist some problems,but I only write two of them...Firstly,when i try to overclock as rising fsb to only 210, system restarts and resarts again and again;only when I return to default value,system works.It is just a one example to show us that mobo does not work well.Secondly,about the temperature,there is a problem.System sometimes opens with 37degree,sometimes with 43 degree;sometimes rises to 55 and 62,sometimes stops at 47-48.These are not only from idle temperature but also load.Which makes me angry,temperature is 55 degree at idle;and sometimes at load it is 49 etc..I tried my CPU and fan,ram modules etc.,on MSI Neo 4 SLI mobo,and there didnot happen any problem,involving these two.So,I think they are not normal,what should I do?
    My system:AMD 64 939 3200+ CPU,MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum,MSI NX6800 VGA,2*512 ddr400 Hynix d43 ram,80GB Seagate SATA etc...

       I did it;that is to say i know that i have to lower HT and i did.In detail,ram timings were 3-4-4-6 and 1T.I disabled D.O.T,Spread spectrum,Agrassive timings,high performance mode was manuel  etc..So everything was suitable for o\c.Also I disabled Sata1-2,and connected to Sata 3 port.AGP frequency was 67,cool and quiet was disabled.HT was 4,I adjusted CPU ratio to *10 and I rised CPU frequency only to 210.So,everything was as which had to be,but system restarting again and again,works only if i return to 200 fsb...I am sure that the problem is arisng from mobo,because I tested my configuration on different systems.For example,I tried my CPU and ram modules on MSI K8N Neo 4 SLI mobo and there did not happen any problem,I was able to rich 2500mhz with HT4,250fsb*10.Temperature was accurate also.What can I do?If
    I cannot o\c my system it is unsense to have this configuration and this mobo.I think,if i bring my mobo to service of MSI,they will say it is not our problem,as you know they don't accept o\c problems.I also think that they have to explain something to me as their D.O.T. technology supposed to work at %11 o\c.Please,someone say something to me and give me an advice.

  • Problem during import of 121 transport requests to productive system

    Hello
    We have problem during import of transport requests to productive system. Import of 121 transport requests stopped very soon in phase "N" (in TRBAT I have only one entry and in  TRJOB  as well).
    In sm50 there is an BGD running under user DDIC in client 000 now for 14453 seconds (program SAPLSDB2). This should be import.
    In SM37 I can see it as  job "RDDGEN0L" with  repport"RDDGENBB". Based on some literature it should perform "Converting all structure changes generated by the import and recorded in table TBATG, other than the structure changes to matchcode objects." Very interesting  that TBATG has only four entries related to 2 indexes in table "DFKKOPK" , one in table "DFKKREP06" and one" ENQU" for EFKKEXC". (only this last one has not status error)
    For fist two indexes I know they are not present  as objects "LIMU""INDX" in any transport request beeing imported.
    Also on productive system there is no"VOL" and "ZOL"indexes for table "DFKKOPK"(instead they are created on test system ie. not transported from development to test system)
    Last command for that process is "CREATE INDEX "DFKKOPK~HKO" ON "DFKKOPK" ("MANDT", "HKONT", "OPBEL") PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 002 TABLESPACE PSA
    PTR3 STORAGE (INITIAL 0000000016 K NEXT 0000000016 K MINEXTENTS 0000000001 MAXEXTENTS UNLIMITED PCTINCREAS"
    There is enaught space on disk and in tablespaces (it is an oracle/HPux server).
    Does anyone knows workaroun to solve production

    are you importing these transport requests simultaneously into production?
    I would suggest you try doing in smaller groups of 5 or 10 and then see whether you are able to import the requests

  • [PT880-Neo LSR]Power supply problem

    Hello,
    We've installed the new motherboard today, it model is PT880 Neo LSR. Well we've got everything plugged in, but when we try to turn on our computer it doesn't turn on.
    There is a case switch, but when turn on, the fans work for like 1 second then it stop.
    I've tried the Troubleshooting guide on the website, and studying the Manual, but I could not find a way to fix this.
    Can anyone help us fix this power supply problem please?
    Thanks

I only heard a sound psssst, and nothing run. I tested it many time and it still not work. Then I UNPLUG the 4-pin connector from the power supply to the mainboard, and test again, this time, only all the fan RUN except the the fan in the power supply DID NOT run. Is it because that the power supply got problem? I used another power supply 420w to test but nothing run either.
    MATSONIC motherboard MS9087C
    DDR 400
    Intel celeron 2gh 400 fsb
    Macron 350w power supply
    The psssst sound----sounds like something shorted out. Pull everything out and put it back in with a different PSU.
    Don't put a hard drive or floppy in-----just CPU, RAM mobo, vid card, fans, PSU-----see if it will post.

  • PT880 NEO FSR and Audigy 2 ZS

    Has anyone with this motherboard been able to get this card working without constant and annoying crackling/stuttering during gameplay? I've tried everything mentioned on the Creative forums to resolve the issues I'm having, but nothing has worked. I'm starting to think it's the motherboard chipset.

    He's running the card with no problems with a weaker PSU than I have. The only difference is he's running BIOS version 1.9 and I can't get anyting other than 1.6 to run stable on my computer. When he originally replied that he was having no problems with the card, he was also running BIOS 1.6.

  • Random Reboot During Gameplay

    My comp randomly reboots during gameplay.  I haven't figured out y and was hoping someone might have some helpful information.

    DVD ROM
    CD Burner
    GeforceFX 5600

    All drivers have been updated to the latest versions, and i have run memtest and everything has passed, my PSU is 400W and everything looks to be in order.  Only problem is my comp reboots randomly during gameplay.  If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem i would appreciate it.

    If you cant find a reference to a specific driver, I would at least try to repair the current installation. I dont see where you would have anything to lose, as you are ready to reformat.
    Did you ever run the driver cleaner program?
    Here's the steps to automatically repair the current version:
    Disable any antivirus program and BIOS-level antivirus protection. For help, refer to the relevant software manual or online help.
    Make sure that the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive is the first priority startup device. Refer to your computer documentation for information about how to do this.
    Insert the Windows XP CD into the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, and then restart your computer.
    When the instruction to "Press any key to boot from CD" appears, press a key to let your computer start from the Windows XP CD.
    When the computer starts from the CD, the system checks your hardware and then prompts you to select one of the following options:
    To set up Windows XP now, press ENTER.
    To repair a Windows XP installation using Recovery Console, press R.
    To quit Setup without installing Windows XP, press F3.
    Press ENTER.
    Press F8 to accept the Licensing Agreement.
    A box lists your current Windows XP installation, and then the system prompts you to select one of the following options:
    To repair the selected Windows XP installation, press R.
    To continue installing a fresh copy of Windows XP without repairing, press ESC.
    Press R to start the automatic repair process. After repairing Windows XP, you may need to reactivate Windows XP, if you changed some hardware.

  • Still troubleshooting 0x0000007F errors on PT880 Neo-LSR

    So frustrating...just cannot seem to end the 2-3 times a week blue-screen shutdown my computer insists on.  Posted something a few months back on this, and consensus seemed to be that my 380w Antec Power supply was too small for my system, so I upgraded it to the TruePower550, really hoping this would end the problem.  It did not.
    Seemingly corresponding with the errors I'm getting (it seems), is a disk error in the event properties that says:
    The driver detected a controller error on \Device\Harddisk4\D.  Sometimes it calls this "Harddisk3" or "Harddisk2" for some reason, but it's always D.  My D: drive is a 160GB IDE that is pretty new and it's hard to imagine it's really failing.  Maybe, but I doubt it.  I replaced the IDE cable to this drive to no avail.  I don't know if the fact that my C: drive is SATA is contributing to this, though.
    The blue screen error actually reads:
    0x0000007F (0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
    Microsoft says this is either bad RAM or a bad mobo.  Both are just a few months old.  I have a lot of pretty new (expensive) equipment going here.
    It seems if I want to have my Geil memory tested, I have to pay $49 at the computer store near me.  Which seems outrageous.  I could almost buy a brand new PT880 Neo-LSR for that.  Which won't help if the mobo is not the problem, but still.  The BIOS I'm running is 1.7.
    Obviously I'm going to have to keep spending money on new equipment troubleshooting this.  It never ends!!  The question is, where to spend it?  On the RAM test?  On a new slave drive I might not need?  Should I just buy a new mobo?  
    Any suggestions would certainly be appreciated.

    Well, I pulled the drive that was throwing the errors and sure enough, still getting the same errors/restarts saying the drive D (which is no longer in the machine at all) is at fault.  Ridiculous.
    This has to be the board.  I'm convinced.
    Time to buy (another) new motherboard.  This one must be like 4 months old or so.  Sheesh.

    Can you remove the slave drive for now and see if that helps with stopping the errors, if not then perhaps RMA your Board as a mainboard fault will throw all kinds of errors at you.
    I spent 7 months trouble shooting before i found out it was the board ... Iwould not wish that stress on anyone else. Any way good luck and let us know if you fix it.  

  • PT880 Neo - Help

    Hi
    I am having PT880 Neo motherboard, intel P4 2.8 prescot, SATA samsung HD and MSI burner.
    I had some problem with the burning so i tried to change the primery IDE Channel from PIO to DMA.
    since nothing happens i read at the forum that uninstalling the IDE controller will fix this problem.
    after uninstall the IDE Bus driver I restart the computer and since then I cant install the Primery/ Secondry IDE Channel.
    I also dwonloaded the last via chipset driver and nothing help
    the error message that i get after restart is "there was a problem installing the hardware, hdc , An error occurred during the installation of the device.
    driver is not intended for this platform".
    I realy don't know what to do can any one help me!!!!!!!

    HDC.... sounds like linux to me, check your logs mate, linux is nice enough to tell you EVERYTHING that went wrong during boot up, and hardware probing...
