Q6600/P6N SLI-FI Problems

Well last night I got my new parts in (Q600 and 2x 8800 GTs) and everything booted up fine and stock speeds. Then I moved onto OCing the q6600 and I am having problems. Every time I up the FSB I get a blue screen about 2 mins into windows. I have tried leaving the voltage alone and upping it a little bit, no success. I caught a glimpse of the BSOD and the one message was something about IRQs? No clue. Here are my specs
Q6600 cooled by a Zalman 9500
2x XFT 8800 GT XXX edition
PC2-6400: DDR2 800 2GB (2x1GB) 1.9V 4-4-4-12

4-4-4-12 at 1.9v? Up it to 2.1v.
Wouldn't post at 2.1v so I left it at 2.0v but it still didn't fix it. I am stable at 1250 but it seems as soon as I break 1300 the problems start. I noticed on one of the blue screens that it was complaining about IRQs so I went to my device manager. There was some random PCI device saying its not installed? The only PCI device I have installed is my sound card and it was recognized. I disabled it but nothing really happened beside the fact that I could get to 1250. Here is some temps and BSODs shots.
Temps:
Well I hit another wall. When I break the 300 range it does the same old thing. I am getting a mix of blue screens, one complains about the drivers and the other one is the one below. The IRQ one is the most frequent.
And here is the oter BSOD, sorry its not in english but its the only one I could find on google.

  • P6N SLI V2 problem with "dual core center"

    I have the P6N SLI  V2 with E4400 and 7600gt running XP pro sp 2.
    after installing and running MSI's "dual core center" (including .Net framework) I only have the "VGA" option enabled, the "MB" option is disabled as well as the D.O.T option. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as downloading the latest version, but I have the same problem. I get no MB options at all (like no cpu temp, fan speed, core speed etc.). I didn't make any changes to the BIOS yet (other than changing the boot sequence), and ideas?

    Don't use MSI's utilities. Anyone here will tell you that.

  • MSI P6N SLI sound problem under windows 7

    Hi all!
    I have an MSI P6N SLI mainboard and I have installed win7 ultimate x64 to get a look on that OS. Everything works fine expect one thing: I have no sound. I tried to install manually the realtek sound driver but no changes. When I check the Volume Control Options then neither the Speakers nor the Realtek Digital Output checked (but the speaker is plugged in).
    However I have sound under Linux.
    Could someone help me? (and sorry if I have missed the topic which resolves this problem if there is any)

    Hi everyone,
    hope it's ok to refresh this thread - I did not want to open up a new one, because this one matches my problem perfectly - but my speakers are plugged-in the right way
    I'm running Win7 64 on the MSI P6N SLI (not v2 no Platinum) and am unable to install the sounddriver (well not correct - I did install the driver). The upgrade advisor said all green (under Win XP 32) and the MSI-Driver-Page propagates Win7 32/64 is supported for the SoundCard of my Board.
    The driver installs just fine, but the device won't come out of "I have a problem"-state - always telling me "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)" (I event tried installing the driver manually with pointing the win-hardware-setup-routine to the driver-directory) - still no use - I removed and rebootet serveral times...
    Hope anybody has a solution for this problem (I'm taking the posts above as a "this has to work"-basis so i'm not ready to give up and go out there and buy a new soundcard )
    Thanks in advance for any hint.

  • MSI P6N SLI boot problems

    I recently bought a P6N SLI and new memory since my current board is getting old
    When I got everything assembled and turned it on, all fans and lights started, but there were no beeps and no video
    I made sure all power connectors were not loose and tried it with minimum components out of my case, still same problem
    tried old memory in case new memory was faulty, no luck
    I'm sure all old components are working (using them right now)
    sent board in for RMA in case I got a bad board, new one did same thing
    since the board didnt come with a D-Bracket, I threw one together (4 LEDs on the red pins, ground on USB) all 4 lit up "System PowerON The D-LED will hang here if the processor is damaged or not installed properly"

    I am attaching a link to MSI's CPU support page..you can also get there by going to the top of the forum page, to the right of the MSI banner are all the links you need..handy.   I would think, that any P4 series or any Core 2 Series CPU would be supported from the initial bios release.  The "D" series are a bit out of the mainstream, but are supported once bios is updated.   If you have a decent computer repair store, they should be able to pop in a P4 or C2D CPU to get it into bios and flash it.  Hey, here's a thought...the Core 2 Duo chips are relatively inexpensive now..you can get a Core 2 Duo E4500 for about $125 US that will run circles around your D805...?   Good luck.

  • MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM problem with ram 800MHz

    Hello.
    I have problem with ram frequency.
    I have MSI P6N SLI PLATINIUM and OCZ 2x2GB 800MHz CL5  but in bios I see that my ram runs in 667 MHz. Because I have 800MHz ram, so it shouldn't be default 800MHz and not 667MHz? What I have to do to show bios that I have 800MHz ram?

    Oke, but they told me when i bought my new system that XP auto adjusts the speed of the memory.
    XP 64 bit can works normally with 4 or more GB they said, just like vista.

  • P6n sli sound problem

    hey everyone, my problem is i cant seem to get my on board sound working.  Ive installed the drivers from the disk i recieved with my mobo, but still no luck.  Using XP media center w/ SP 2 . The mobo is the MSI P6N SLI-FI.  Also when i go to control panel -> sound and audio devices thats where it says "no audio device". Any suggestions?

    Have you tried the newest Realtek drivers and codec?
    If you click on the link it should begin download.

  • P6N SLI Microphone problem

    Hi.
    I had a P4N diamond motherboard that got fried, so I replaced it with P6N SLI, and my mic stopped working - its greyed out in the sound controls.
    Now from reading some of the posts I figured that I might need to set some jumpers on JAUD pins on mobo, cuz I had them on p4n and mic worked. Problem is that theres no description in the manual on which pins should I set jumpers on. I wanted to copy the jumper layout from p4n to p6n, but the pins are different.
    Here r the pins on P6N SLI:
    1 MIC_L
    2 GND
    3 MIC_R
    4 PRESENCE#
    5 LINE out_R
    6 MIC_JD - Jack detection return from front panel microphone JACK1
    7 Front_JD - Jack detection sense line from the HD Audio CODEC
    8 NC
    9 LINE out_L
    10 LINE out_JD - Jack detection return from front panel microphone JACK2
    Does anyone know where should i set the jumpers?
    I also thought of actually connecting front pannel to the mobo, but again theres a wire confusion.
    I have TT Tsunami case, here r the wires I have from case:
    Ear R Red
    Return R White
    Ear L Green
    Return L Yellow
    MIC IN Red
    MIC VCC White
    GND Black

    the pin out from the motherboard follows Intel HD Audio header standard. I can't recall a working solution... but if you could tell what pin out connection you have tried out and what did not work, maybe that will help all of us.... thanks.

    Did you have the system OC'd at all? The crackling you heard 'may' have been a capacitor gone bad. By the CPU, on the NB side I believe, do you see a little 1/4 or so round clear sticker with a number on it? Does it say 01, 02, or 03? I recently retired my P6N, but it was a 'great' board for a number of years. If you want to keep the board, it may have to go in for service. Trying another CPU might damage it too if something is wrong with the boards circuitry. MSI can also do a parts upgrade to the board & make it compatible with 45nm CPU's like the E8400-E8600 from a 01 02 03 revision board.
    Hmmmmm...no sticker at all, I check all over the board. This was a newegg purchase in Feb 08' if that can say anything about what version it may be. Also, I did not have the system OC'd at all. Everything was running "as is". The crackle I heard could be better described as when something is being fried. The odd thing is, there was no smells, no busted caps or anything. If I were to replace something first (with new) which would you suggest? I am thinking a new mobo since the mobo I have now could do more harm than good. Or should I get RAM to see if the RAM was fried when my PSU failed? I see 3btech.com has a P6N SLI V2 (what's the V2 mean?) for like $80. Although, if its RAM, it could most definately be a cheaper fix (and I have more ram lol). Again, thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated!!!

  • P6N SLI mystery problem

    I have the rig in my sig.  When I first built it it would not shut down when windows shut down.  You could hear the fans spin backup to full speed, the video would go out and the HDDs would spin down, but it was still on.  I didn't think much of it because it would be on 24/7 and Windows was stable. 
    Heres where the problems started.  One day it would not boot.  I take out one stick of RAM and it works for a while. Then it starts not turning on, no beep no display nothing, but all the diagnostic LEDs check out.  I have to go through a few on-unplug-on until it boots.  Then the BIOS tells me that the previous attempt at OCing failed and it is reverting to orginal settings, but I never OCed to begin with.  Also the on board network card is no longer detected by XP, even after multiple XP installs.
    I figure its the RAM, so I RMA it with Kingston and put the new one in and same problem.
    Then I RMA the processor, same problem.
    I RMA the motherboard to MSI and they test it and say no problems were found.
    Then it starts to boot into Windows, you can hear the fans kick down and the windows start up sound, but no Video output no either video ports.  So I just RMA the video card.
    So any ideas?  The PSU is from a previous install so I know it to work.  The 12v+ is rated at 19A, but even with all the fans and HDDs unplugged same problem.  The PSU is 24pin, but only 4pin for the AUX connection.  It has never over heated.  HELP!

    So I heard back from XFX.  Guess what they said.  Guess, just guess.  They said the card was defective and they are shipping me a new one.  I will let you guys know how it turns out.  Out of this entire ordeal, I have to say Kingston has the best support and Intel the worse.  Kingston let me RMA, even cross shipped it with out any questions.  Intel, MSI and XFX made me try the stupid things first ... is everything plugged in, try pushing the switch.  And no cross shipping (Intel wants a nonrefundable $25 to cross ship).  I even told them that I am the sys admin for one of the leading universities and work in IT at one of the largest oil companies in the world, yet they still want me to make sure the damn thing is plugged in.  They finally come to the same conclusion as I do.  boo.

    What jumper?
    I have the same board, but dont know of a jumper.
    The only thing I know of is a "fsb hole" between ~1600 and ~1700MHz, got mine at 1720MHz and running stable.

  • P6N SLI boot problems

    Hello all,
    I bought parts for a new system a few weeks ago, got WinXP pro up and running, updated windows, drivers, etc.  When I went to add an IDE HD (my primary HD is SATA), all hell broke loose, and I couldn't boot.  I took the IDE HD off, tried to boot... nothing.  It would partially load windows, and then restart.
    I formatted the HD multiple times, but as soon as it would finish formatting, I would get errors:  Stop 0x00000024, Stop 0x00000023, NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM or FAT_FILE_SYSTEM.  I figured the HD was borked somehow, and I got a new one.
    I threw the HD in, formatted, started to install windows...  Same thing.  It seems as soon as it starts to load XP, the system just restarts.  I boot from the WinXP cd to "repair," but as soon as I click R to repair, the system restarts.  If I try to format the system again, the system restarts.
    At first, I figured the problem was with the HD, but with the second HD, I figure it must be something else.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    Hi, I am having similar problems:
    Setup same motherboard.
    SATA HD (Western Digital)
    2gigs of 1gig Super Talent Mem, DDR2800
    Intel Core 2 Duo E6400
    I think that's all you guys really need to know, right?
    On to the problem: 
    I can load everything fine... I have WIndows XP, service pack 2 installed. 
    However, whenever I run a bit too much I get a blue screen. I can force this to happen, for the most part. Vanguard will sometimes run, usually blue screens on installs, etc.
    Stop! Errors, Kernel In Page Data errors, etc.   
    I am going to try the moves specified so far, but I have also heard there is a 2.13 bios version that may fix this?  Any other help is greatly appreciated.
    When you mentioned that you run a bit too much, what is that bit of "too much"? We need more detail scenerio of what is done before the BSOD.
    Btw, I would appreciate that you open another thread of your own, explaining your problems there and we'll try to help as much as we could. Lastly, remember your PSU specs amps as well.

    It has been tested and no problem to pass 1200Mhz barrier....
    Intel® Core™2 Quad Processor Q6600 and corsair 800MHZ memory. OC to 1333MHZ.
    memory used in a test:
    the first group:Geil 1G 800MHZ
    the second group:HyNIX 1G 800MHZ
    the third group:Corsar 1G 800MHZ
    the forth group:XTreem 1G 800MHZ
    the fifth group:Vitesta 1G 800MHZ
    If you experience the problem suggest you try with different memory brand/type.
    And what stepping/revision Q6600 was this test done with?   I've tried with Geil 800mhz rated sticks and Corsair 800mhz sticks in addition to my own personal Buffalo 800mhz sticks and it's all the same.  At exactly 1200mhz it's like someone flipped a switch and the board won't POST.   The ONLY way I've found to get it to POST past 1200mhz is to increase the VTT to 16% which is a bit worrysome...   and with the 1.1 BIOS absolutely no increase in VTT is needed with the same setup.   Keep in mind this has been tried with not only my own personal P6N Platinum, but also with two different P6N SLI FI boards I've got here in the shop.   Heck I even ordered a brand new one just to test to see if the problem was based on a particular hardware revision.
    Very puzzling...   ??? ???

  • MSI P6N SLI V2 does not boot up from cd/dvd and few other problems

    HI
    I just bought a computer P6N SLI V2 + E6750. It has following problem. It does not boot from cd.
    I have Sata HD. CD/DVD is installed to IDE as a master.
    I have done settings in bios so that First boot is cd/dvd and second is sata HD. Anyhow it still goes to the hd and stars windows.
    I was only able to boot up from cd when I disabled hd from boot sequency. Meaning I left only cd/dvd there.
    Hopefully you pro's can help me.
    Then there is another problem. Windows is telling me that it found new pci device. I do not know what device. I have only Graphig card (geforce 8800 gts) installed into pci-E. Drivers and software are also installed, I assume proberly. How to find out what windows thinks it found.
    Third problem is onboard soundcard. I cannot get any sound out from the machine. I have downloaded driver from realtek, but still no sound.
    Unfortunatelly I do not have original software for motherboard. Only the latest from MSI website.
    Hopefully someone can help me.
    thanks.

    About bootup, i dont know yet.
    To find out what windows found, look in devicemanager.
    To go there go to controlpanel, system then choose devicemanager.
    There you can see what's installed.
    Last, your soundcards needs to be enabled in bios, under integrated peripherals there should be a line with "onboard sound", enable this and sound should work, unless its broken.

  • P6N SLI V2 performance problem

    My computer
    Mainboard: MSI P6N SLI V2
    Processor: Intel E2180 Allendale
    Memory: OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Special Ops 2GB
    Graphics Card: Palit Geforce 8600GT DDR3 256MB
    PSU Chieftec GPS-500AB-A (500 Watts)
    Mainboard is set to work in non-SLI mode and LED indicates, that the card in PCI-Express slot works in x16 but the benchmarks says something a quite different. 3DMark 2005 says 5500 points, 3DMark 2006 - 3500 points, all tested games works slower that they should be on this type of computer. Computer runs on Windows XP SP2 with the latest drivers and DirectX libraries. I checked whether it is a graphics card's fault, but I used different 8600GT made by Galaxy, and the scores were identical. I borrowed this card from a friend, his gig is: Athlon X2 4000+ and Asus M2N-E SLI mainboard and his 3DMark scores are basically 60% higher than mine. I don't know what seems to be the problem, all temperatures (CPU, mainboard chipsets and GPU) are normal, so does voltage on all rails. Computer is fully stable, the only problem is this strange low performance...

    If your board has adjustments for the Northbridge chipset in bios try experimenting, i found that 600 mhz and 1.3 volts increased performance on my P6N diamond.
    I've tried to overclock everything including processor, northbridge, memory and graphics card, the result is only about 100 points more, where I'm looking for like 1400 points more in 3DMark 2006 and whooping 4000 points in 3DMark 2005.
