Random reboots with 975x Platinum v2.1?

As the title says, I have the MSI 975x Platinum v2.1. The system randomly reboots fairly, often, and I'm not sure what could be causing it.
I had this setup for a few weeks, before it locked up overnight and destroyed my memory. Board would halt on the memory initialization during POST, so I sent it back for RMA and now have the replacement. While waiting for the RMA, I bought some memory from a local retailer so I would have something to use. The system would randomly reboot, sometimes in Windows, sometimes while browsing the BIOS menus. I figured the motherboard was damaged too and I sent it back to the retailer for a RMA replacement. I now have the LE version of the board. I also bought a new power supply because I now thought it fried my stuff. Everything put back together, I'm still having random reboots. Here's the system specs:
# Intel Core 2 EE x6800
# MSI 975x Platinum v2.1 LE (BIOS 7.4 official)
# mushkin REDLINE 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1000
# BFG Tech BFGR79256GTOCE GeForce 7900GT 256MB GDDR3
# 1x NEC IDE DVDR, 1x Seagate 200GiB IDE, 1x Seagate 80GiB SATA2, 1x Seagate 400GiB SATA1, 1x Seagate 500GiB SATA2
# Windows XP Pro SP2
# Tagan TG-480-U22 ATX 480W, then mushkin HP-580AP ATX12V / EPS12V 580W
Currently, the system can play games for a couple hours with dnetc running in the background. Yet when I leave it running a torrent (or whatever) overnight, I'll wake up and find it rebooted (after like 6 hours of uptime). I've also gotten it to reboot while just browsing web pages for a few minutes. The northbridge heatsink/heatpipe does get pretty hot, and my room does get warm, so I'll try adding a spare fan tonight. Though, I find this unlikely as the system should be working fine at stock speeds/voltages. Other than that, anyone have any suggestions?

I was actually using the Tagan in combined mode until I started having problems (ie, when the RAM died). By then, neither combined nor split appeared to have any helpful effect. I do not know if the Tagan was the cause of my problems, or if this is all something (???) else. I suppose I could try it again, but I'd rather not break my newly RMA'ed stuff. The mushkin power supply has 4x 20a 12v rails, but it appears to automatically determine whether they should be combined or split.
Speaking of the 12v rails. I noticed that the BIOS reports varying values for the 12v. I've seen it at 12.3v, 13.0v, 13.7v, and 14.0v. However, the dualcorecenter software in Windows always reports 12.2v - 12.3v. I have no idea which is accurate.

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.

X1950PRO Crossfire Incompatible with 975X Platinum

*** BIG APOLOGIES TITLE INCORRECT SHOULD READ X1950PRO *** ED - Oh, I can modify the title too
Hiyas,
Very brief rundown of the setup -
Thermaltake Toughpower 600w
MSI 975X Platinum Power Up Edition
MSI Radeon X1950Pro Graphics Card x 2
Now to begin with I'm pretty sure that ATI did away with the whole 'Mastercard' set up and you don't need to have one 'Mastercard' and one normal card, could someone clarify this for me? http://ati.amd.com/technology/crossfire/howitworksdemo.html <-- That would appear to confirm what I already believe.
Secondly, the MSI 975X board that I purchased which is an alleged Crossfire ready board, didn't have the ribbon cable in the box, nor is it said to have the ribbon cable in the box as far as the contents go. In fact the manual is still talking about the DVI bridging cable, which I believe is the now defunct way of doing this? Correct me if I'm wrong.
The said ribbon cable was not in either of the X1950Pro graphics card contents either which again leaves me wondering how the setup should be instigated. Could somebody please clarify for me if the above Crossfire demo I have posted is what I should be looking at, and should I be harrassing my supplier about the missing ribbon cable, even though the box contents says nothing of a ribbon cable?? Should the ribbon cable be supplied with the card or the motherboard?

What is your BIOS? try with different BIOSes?
Maesus, you posted in my thread regarding the sagas I experienced with BIOS and getting the RAID to function on this board.
BIOS is 7.1 and the other guys were pretty sure the only thing I would lose was the HPET Vista crapola by backdating to this version. Though in all fareness I understand that crossfire setups are few and far between.
Now the reason I'm stuck with the old BIOS version of 7.1 is that 7.16 reports RAM at 3.4Gb and anything newer than either of them means I lose my fifth SATA port which once again leaves me nowhere.
Can anybody please point me to where in the system post it should show that the system has detected both cards?
That way I know straight up if it's a BIOS/Hardware issue or a Windows/Driver issue.
also
Should I be able to run a card in the secondary slot (obviously speed is reduced) without a card in the primary slot?
This is where I'm at right now.
Removed secondary card.
Carried out format and reinstallation with only primary card present.
Shut down system after completion of installation.
Physically installed secondary card, power to card and two bridging ribbons.
Booted system to windows and no problems.
Installed ATI 7.2 Catalyst Software.
Reboot.
All working fine.
Enter ATI Catalyst control panel to enable Crossfire but option not present anywhere.
Am running Catalyst 7.2 and at this stage 7.3 hasn't reared it's head yet.

Do you have a version of a 32bit XP lying around that you can try if the new driver is no help?
Hell yeh, course I do, but the other fellas did say that I should stick with 64 cause the Intel memory controller wouldn't allocate the correct memory space with XP32.... arrrghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Random Reboots with dual channel

Hi,
I just bought yesterday the following system.
Intel P4 2.8 Northwood HP enabled
MSI 865PE/Neo 2 Platinum Edition
Maxtor Diamond Star 9 200 GB 8MB Cache 7200rpm
Elixir 2x512MB DDR 400 CL3
Toshiba DVD 16x
Creative Geforce 4 Ti 4400 128MB
Logitech Cordless Keyboard connected and a logitech cordless optical mouse
19 inch belinea monitor.
The power supply is a no name product LPK2-30 with the following specs.
420W
3.3V 28A
+5V 36A
-5V 0.5A
+12V 17A
-12V -0.8A
It says that is P4 ready, i know which does mean nothing
Operating System:
Windows XP Professional SP1
All Hotfixes and Updates applied
Newest drivers for all the system parts
The errors during the windows crashes are irq not less or equal or page fault, which looks for me pretty much like a problem with the memory.
Ok what i tried so far.
Single channel with 512MB works fine.
Single channel with 1GB works fine except one strange thing restarting the machine and it got stuck during the bios loading worked fine after i pressed reset.
Dual channel 1/3 1 GB get random reboots.
Dual channel 2/4 1 GB even worse but i think at this point my newly installed died.
I tried to set memory voltage from 2.65 up to 2.8 but did not change the behaviour.
memtest with one modules in slot 1 no errors
memtest with dual channel 1/3 1 gb no errors running 30 minutes
i will try now a memtest with the second single module in memslot 3.
No MAT or dot ram settings are 3,3,3.
I am bit running out of ideasö
before i forget i updated the bios from 3.3 to 3.5 but did not change the problems.
Maybe you guys have some ideas what else can i try.
thx a lot in advance. i hope i provided all informations which are necessary.
greetings faxe

Hi,
i tried a few more things which make confident that i have the problem narrowed down to the memory.
i tried to install windows again with only using the third memory slot single channel and it worked fine.
now i tried to go down with the memory speed to ddr333 and using dual channel and so far that seems to work too.
so i think i will go for other memory.
if you think i am wrong please correct me
greetings markus

Mysterious random reboot with iPod Touch 3G running 3.1 firmware

Hi everybody,
I ordered an iPod Touch which arrived last week, thinking that it would be the third best thing ever happened to my life (besides my girlfriend and my mac book pro). However it has been a big disappointment for me since the first day I used it.
I have been using the iPod for about a week now, and it randomly crashes and automatically reboots 5 or 6 times a day. I tried restoring it several times but to no avail. I also closely followed this post about random crashes with iPhone running 3.1 firmware (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2152619&start=0&tstart=0).
At first I thought this annoying bug is common for both iPhone and iPod touch user running 3.1. But it's weird that no other user using iPod touch is complaining about the problem. So I'm thinking this might be a hardware problem.
If you guys have any possible solution, or if you are using iPod Touch and have the same problem, please reply. I want to make sure before contacting Apple and exchange for a new one. By the way, it's totally unacceptable that:
1. Apple didn't announce the problem and apologize to the users who are suffering and literally losing money everyday due to this bug
2. Apple blocked the online support feature, I'm gonna have to arrange an appointment with them via phone, but the nearest apple support center is 2 hours away by car.
Thanks for reading and I hope there's a way to address this problem soon.

apparently... no.. it still occurs in the 3.1.2
i believe it has something to do with memory and the touch scroll. graphic? defect on the touch tech in the 3g? or am i just unlucky to pick that one?
... im gonna exchange or probably get my 280 bucks back from costco.
y the memory and touch scroll? memory failure most of the time result in sudden reboot to computer. (IPOD TOUCH AND IPHONES R MINI MINI COMP SO JUST GET U IF U WANT TO ARGUE ABOUT THIS) Touch screen really just... start the reboot... on my home page. scrolling back and forth and suddenly... scratchy statically-like screen and fades in dark and then silver apple pops up. same result on scrolling on youtube, safari, and other apps that requires u to scroll. ... im just hoping that i get the ipod touch 3g again and obtain a totally not defective one

IPad ios8 random reboot with blue screen

Hi everyone,
I Know this question has been posted already but I'm so frustrated.
after upgrading to iOS 8 my iPad air started to reboot randomly with blue screen at least 5 to 6 times a day.
when will apple provide an update fixing this issue? Since it seems more common.
model: iPad air wifi only
ios: 8.0.2
i have tried turning off iCloud sync as many suggested but it didn't help.
reboots are frequent when I'm using safari.

Try Barry's suggestion first.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

What to do for a rare random reboot with no bsod or errors in log

Was doing next to nothing (playing an mp3 file as usual and browsing) which is a 10% cpu load and the Win 7 x64 box just reboots.
I know this has been reported widely on many diff motherboards and isn't just a Win 7 issue, but I have no idea how I'd debug something that happens once in many weeks and for no apparent reason. I've stressed the system many times and it's rock solid.
Could Win 7 have some bug in the kernel that just crashes when certain things come together? No way to debug this.
i'm going to look at the cpu pins just to be sure nothing i awry. I am not overclocking at all.
Win 7 X64
p55-cd53
4 gig ram 1600 mhz
Ndivia 250 GPU
600w ps

Turn off "Automatic reboot on system failure", and check BSOD code if it comes.

Random Rebooting with TI4400

Ok, ive been tooking around here for a bit. There are a few threads in the old forums, but none in the new forums.
I am getting a load of trouble with my card. It freezes my system, it reboots it, bloody hell, im currently having to reinstall Win2k
What is the problem? is the card just shite, as i bought it thinking that MSI were the best out there
Spec:
Abit kr7a-raid
300w PSU
1ghz AMD Athlon
512ddr

FYI
180w combined is bare minimum to run an AMD XP CPU, when you combine it with a GF4 the min. is increased to at least 200w to run with some stability.
Some power supply's can do that continuously but not all of them.
My Enermax is 200 combined(I think, never had to check) and so far it has taken everything I have thrown at it, up to a Ti4600, without any problems.
There are PSU's out there that claim to be 350w or even 400w but in actuality the combined power for some of them are only 180w or so.
It shouldn't be this complicated but unfortunately this has become a very common dilemma.
BTW, We are not MSI and MSI never see's this. It is a user to user forum only, Mods are not employees of MSI, we are, or were, users just like you.
The frustration would be more appropriately aimed at the Power Supply Maunufacturers and the industry as a whole.

If you have or can borrow a digital multimeter, please check the DRAM V. at the V-Checkpoint. It may need to be set higher. For DDR3, 1.575v's is the upper end of the 1.50v. standard. 1.65v's is considered the maximum.
I'm taking a guess that OC Genie set my DRAM V. a bit too high:

Bold 9650 with OS 6 and Random Reboots

Hi, all,
I upgraded like many of you to the latest official OS for the 9650, version 6.0.0.431. I have been experiencing random reboots, at least 4 or 5 per day. I was wondering if any of you are experiencing the same thing? Usually, random reboots are caused by some 3rd party application, but I am having a hard time figuring out which one it can be. I think it might be either Facebook or Weatherbug causing the reboot. Not sure, but wanted to get your input. If you are experiencing random reboots with this OS, let me know.

OK...Upgrade complete. No reboot's yet. But what I did notice...some of my preloaded app/icons got doubled? Any tips how to delete either one or all so they don't come back again? I had a Curve last, and everytime I "removed" something, after an update or over time, the Icon would come back. This is my third day with my new Bold
Hey,
Probably what happened on the "pushed" icons for apps is that when you reloaded your OS, you probably restored the Service Book. Then, after your device was connected to the network, it got pushed a couple of those icons again, resulting in duplicate icons. In my case, it was the icon for VCast Apps. I went into Options>Device>Advanced System Settings>Service Book and found that I did have the VCast Apps listed twice. I deleted one of those entries and one of the duplicate icons disappeared. Now, you could delete all of those pushed icons in the Service Books, but they will reappear after a few hours. The Service Book is continually updated during the day. It connects with the network, looking for updates and it will put those pushed apps back. The only solution is to hide those apps. I just made a folder called pushed apps and moved all of thosed pushed apps into that folder. I hope this helps.
By the way, no reboots since reloading my OS yesterday afternoon. That is good. I will load Opera Mini 5 Beta 2 and let it run for 24 hours and see if I get reboots.

Looks like bad RAM to me. Run Memtest for no less than 8 passes:
Memtest86+:
Download Memtest86+ here:
http://www.memtest.org/
Which should I download?
You can either download the pre-compiled .ISO that you would burn to a CD and then boot from the CD, or you can download the auto-installer for the USB key. What this will do is format your USB drive, make it a bootable device, and then install the necessary
files. Both do the same job, it's just up to you which you choose, or which you have available (whether it's CD or USB).
Do note that some older generation motherboards do not support USB-based booting, therefore your only option is CD (or Floppy if you really wanted to).
How Memtest works (you don't need to read, it's only for those interested in the specifics):
Memtest uses algorithms (specifically two), namely moving inversion & what is deemed Modulo-X. Essentially, the first algorithm fills the memory with a pattern. Starting at the low address, it checks to see if the pattern was changed (it should not have
been), writes the patterns complement, increments the address, and repeats. Starting at the highest address (as opposed to the lowest), it follows the same checklist.
The reason for the second algorithm is due to a few limitations, with the first being that not all adjacent cells are being tested for interaction due to modern chips being 4 to 16 bits wide regarding data storage. With that said, patterns are used to go ahead
and ensure that all adjacent cells have at least been written with all possible one and zero combinations.
The second is that caching, buffering and out of order execution will interfere with the moving inversions algorithm. However, the second algorithm used is not affected by this. For starting offsets of 0-20, the algorithm will write every 20th location with
a pattern, write all other locations with the patterns complement, repeat the previous one (or more) times, and then check every 20th location for the previously mentioned pattern.
Now that you know how Memtest actually works, it's important to know that the tests it goes through all mean something different. It goes from Test 0 through Test 12, many of which use either one or the other algorithm discussed above, among many other things.
Any other questions, they can most likely be answered by reading this great guide here:

Problem with MSI 975x Platinum based new build

I am having what looks like a familiar issue with setting up a new build PC. Spec is as follows:
MSI 975x Platinum edition MOBO
Intel Core Duo 2 e6600 CPU
Western Digital Raptor 150GB S150 16mb 10000rpm SATA drive
Corsair Memory TWIN2X2048-6400 2x1GB 240-Pin DIMM XMS2-6400 CL5
SONY DVD-RW
The problem comes when trying to install Windows XP on the single SATA drive (I don't want a RAID array - mainly as I only have 1 hard drive!).
I press F6 as instructed to install the SATA drive - I have created a disk with the necessary driver files from the MSI website.
Based on other posts I have seen I have put all the files except "txtsetup.oem" in another folder on the floppy (either "\win_XP" or "\winXP"). However I still get the same error message:
"file \x32\jraid.sys caused an unexpected error (18) at line 2108 in d:\xpspl\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c"
I am beginning to think I can't install XP to a SATA drive. Can anyone help with this? Is there an "official" driver floppy disk I can get from MSI in exactly the right format?
Alternatively is it worthwhile buying a small standard IDE drive and installing XP to that to get me going and then install the SATA drive once XP is going? Would it then be possible to shift XP onto the faster SATA drive?
Thanks

if you using 1 sata drive you dont set it up as a raid , in the sata options set it up as ide enhanced also in this mode no need for pressing f6 just make sure that the sata is set to 1st boot hdd , if you using 1 sata and 1 ide hdd and tring to isntall on the sata disconnect the ide hdd because it will mess with your drive letters in windows ... if you goin raid ( achi mode is only for sata 2 drives with NCQ = native command queing and your drives have to support this mode ) then in the sata drives portion set it to raid ( achi if your drives support it ) in the force part set it to force gen 1 ( for sata 1 drives ) force gen 2 ( for sata 2 drives ) then you will need to set up the raid config in the intel raid config ( its the next post screen telling you press CTRL+I ) set it up reboot reneter bios set hdd priority to intel raid 0 then intsall windows but press f6 ... yes i ran it 2 ways single sata drive and now raided 80's in raid 0 ( i dont have NCQ support yet )

Neo 3 Platinum random reboots

Hi, I have an old build as stated above that I sold to my son in law. It has been working fine for about three years except the cheap power supply died about a year ago (it came with the box) so I replaced it with a seasonic. Anyway, it recently has started to randomly reboot itself once or twice a day. It's hard to believe it is the power supply. If it was wouldn't it just turn off and not reboot? I haven't had a chance to actually look at it yet but was wondering if anyone knew what would cause random reboots. It isn't overclocked. Thanks

PSU can also be blamed for random restarts. as the PSU heats up, the efficiency goes down and this my cause your system not to receive enough power, thus shutting down or restarting. i would suggest to test with a different PSU if all the memtests are OK and the system temps are within normal ranges.

Random reboots with 975x Platinum v2.1?
