Re: MSI Platinium P45 + Creative X-fI

Sorry for merging my query in too. But, i thought it would be nice to ask everything here.
Ok, i am planning to go for Creative X-fI Extreme Music soundcard in few weeks. There are few doubts and things i need to clear.
I'll be installing the card with 4GB RAM on MSI P45 Platinum board. And plan to use it for driving 5.1 speaker system with Windows 7 64 bit OS.
1. Is Windows 7 64-bit driver available for this card?
2. Are there any H/W or Application specific compatibility issues?
3. And lastly, i need your comments on this card. I mean, any points i need to look for before i purchase it.
Awaiting....

Topic split.
gold_heart007, "Sorry for merging my query in too"
That's not merging, it's hijacking with a question not even related to the topic at hand.
>> Please read and comply with the Forum Rules <<
1 - You would need to go to Creative website for drivers.
2 - Should not be any.
3 - Beats me, I never used one, I had a Creative Audigy II a couple of years ago but on a different MB. Maybe someone that has or had one will see this and have something to say about it.
Edit: I'll add 1 more thing, your PSU is too weak for your system, max +12V output 22A (264W). A PSU in a system with 9800GTX should be about +12V~28A to 30A minimum.
Corsair VX450W +12V~33A or VX550W +12V~41 would be far better choices than that PSU you have.

MSI PLATINIUM P45 WORKING MEMORY PC8500 OR PC6400

I HAVE MSI PLATINIUM P45 I WOULD LIKE TOO UPGRADE MY MEMORY WHICH ONE BETTER AND WORKING FINE 1-
The Kingston HyperX Dual Channel 4096MB PC8500 DDR2
2- Kingston HyperX PC6400 800MHz 4GB DDR2 Dual Channel Memory

Why are you writing in caps? It is considered screaming and not very polite.
Go for the PC2-8500 sticks. Even if you can't overclock them to DDR2-1066, they usually have better memory chips on them.
I have a pair of Kingston PC2-8500 modules than run flawlessly @DDR2-1066 on this board.

MSI Platinium P45 and DDR3

Hello i have a MSI Platinium P45 Motherboard and i would like to know if 4GB DDR3 -1333 is supported
or only DDR3-1066 is.
-Sheldon

It is very important to pay close attention to the marketing name and the model number when it comes to DDR2/DDR3 support.
The MSI P45 Platinum [MS-7512] does not support DDR3 memory sticks:

The MSI P45D3 Platinum [MS-7513] on the other hand does support DDR3 memory (but not DDR2).

i have a MSI Platinium P45 Motherboard
In case you have the MS-7512/P45 Platinum you can forget about DDR3 support altogether as the board only has DDR2 memory slots. If you indeed have a P45D3 Platinum then you should know that (regardless of what MSI says on the product page for this board) the Intel Chipset Specifications for the P45 Chipset only mention DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066. DDR3-1333 modules are not officially supported on the P45 Chipset (according to Intel's Datasheets).

The problem is that my new R9 290 doesnt work on the first comp. When pressing the power button the fan of the GPU is maxing and makes alot of noise. Connecting my monitor to the onboard GPU i see the comp is working and is booting into windows. Updating the Bios didnt work and chosing PEG instead of IGP doesnt matter.
To check if the R9 290 is working i put it in comp2. It boots normally, and no problems. I began to wonder if the PSU of comp1 is the problem.
So i Changed the PSU of comp2 to comp1 and pushed the power button. Same as before: alot of noise and not working.
Meanwhile it Boots into windows. Connecting my monitor to the onboard video I can see it boots into windows. But I dont see the R9 290 at all in the hardware device list.
My first conclusion: The XFX R9 290 isnt recognized by the B75MA-P45 Motherboard at all, even when i switch the PSU from comp2.
I need the card to work on comp 1 because that is my computer. (Comp2 I borrowed from a friend for testing).

MSI B75MA-P45 "Reboot and Select proper Boot device"

Hey guys, I just had this PC delivered to me yesterday, pre-built after my specs. Been using their company for a decade and never had an issue (that said, they might very well have screwed up this time, but I would love some feedback).
So, when I plug in the PC and boot it it get stuck at "Reboot and Select proper Boot device" (and in the bottom right it blink between A2/B4 before it gets to the reboot prompt).
What I have done to try to fix this:
1) Go into BIOS and swap around the boot order. No luck with that, and I cannot find the SSD HD on the list either.
2) Confirmed it was set on AHCI mode.
3) Booted with the MSI Motherboard CD to get to Winki. In the Winki file manager I do see the SSD HD with Windows installed! But the BIOS cannot find it.
The specs:
Board: MSI B75MA-P45
Bios: E7798IMS V1.5
VGA: ASUS Geforce GTX660Ti
PSU: Corsair CX 500
Intel Core i7-3770
Corsair Cooling Hydro H55
RAM: Corsair XMS3 Vengeance CL9
Samsung SSD 840 Series 120 GB
Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Win 8
So I'm left a bit dumbstruck here. It seems quite clear the BIOS cannot find the SSD for some reason, but I'm not sure how to sort this?
I mean: I do see Windows in the Winki file manager, so the HD is clearly there and readable. But on the other hand it cannot find it in the BIOS so I can't choose it as a boot drive.
Any suggestions on what might cause this and how I could solve it?
Thank you.

Wow, that was easier than I thought.. after hours of browsing internet, trying all kinds of BIOS settings, eventually I just opened the case and plugged out the SATA cables and plugged them back in. Boom, it works. Didn't expect it to be that easy since the Winki still could see the HD.
Seems BIOS is more sensitive than the Winki. But there you go, problem solved.

MSI B75MA-P45 and Red Caviar 3 TB

Hello! I recently purchased the MSI B75MA-P45 motherboard and the 3TB Red Caviar HDD. I had sent my computer to the shop for the installation and when I collected it, the techies there said something about how the Red Caviar is "too big" and that there were partition issues. They also mentioned the need to download some sort of an "unlocking" software for the motherboard to solve the issue.
But the HDD and the partitions seem to work fine. They are my D: and G: drives, at 1.99TB and 931 GB respectively. And I do believe these parameters are normal after formatting. Were they just mistaken about something? I just can't see what the problem is.
I would appreciate any input on this matter. Thank you!

Wow, that was easier than I thought.. after hours of browsing internet, trying all kinds of BIOS settings, eventually I just opened the case and plugged out the SATA cables and plugged them back in. Boom, it works. Didn't expect it to be that easy since the Winki still could see the HD.

Need help regarding MSI 785GM-P45

Hi
New to this forum so I will try to give as much info as possible. If you have any suggestions please give as much details as possible since I am new to building my own HTPC
Motherboard: MSI 785GM-P45
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0 GHz
RAM: AVeir 2GB DDR3-1333
HD: EIDE 80GB WD
I installed the cpu and heat sink as well as the RAM in DIMM1 then I attached the power to the mother board. Also attached then box power switch and HDD connections to the motherboard. When I press the power switch on the box I can see the cpu fan turning and box fan turning as well as hear HD spinning (at this point I dont have IDE cable connected to HD). then I attached the display to the mother board and the display does not show anything (displays standby light is still yellow). I power off the system and then attach IDE cable to the HD and then power on the system and this time everything works like before but one thing is different. I cannot hear the HD spinning or powered up. Not sure what is happening. Any suggestion would be welcome
Thanks

You get no display on the monitor?

Please tell us more about your system: >>Posting Guide<<
Did you maybe try older version of graphics driver?...

Hello,
I have an MSI Z97A Gaming 7. I had it a couple of weeks back and everything worked fine from the get go. However, just this afternoon, whenever I shut down the PC and cut off the power supply (or turn off UPS), then turn it back on, the BIOS set...

MSI B75MA-P45 -- No POST beep

So this is my first build and my configurations are
Intel i5 3570
Corsair vengeance 4 GB DDR3
Corsair CX600W PSU
Cooler master HAF 912 Combat cabinet
Nvidia GTX 660(Yet to be delivered)
Seagate barracuda 1 TB
So,I breadboarded my motherboard with the CPU,heatsink,RAM and PSU.
I fired it up and there was no POST beep on the speaker.
Then I removed the RAM and I got 3 long beeps which means bad memory.
So,my question is that what is the culprit? I guess if it can manage to give 3 long beeps for no RAM,the processor is fine.
The leftover parts are PSU,mobo and RAM.I am yet to borrow a RAM from my friend and PSU seems fine as there was very less load on it(not even a GPU).
Is there anyone with a B75MA-P45 who faced anything like that? Can this really be a bad mobo? The caps seem fine and theres no point of static flowing into it.
Also,the fans attatched to the motherboard powerup as well so this might mean that power is being supplied to motherboard and it isn't short.
Please reply soon as I'm really worried and pissed off on this problem :|

So,yesterday I wrote about how I couldn't get a POST beep.Now,things got worse.Today when I tried to power up the PC..it didn't :\ No cabinet fans spinning,no CPU fan snipping..NOTHING.
I removed the front panel headers and short the board manually to power it up but still the same.
PSU could have been bad but I tried the paper-clip method and the PSU's fan was working on when I used that method.
I have already applied for a replacement but as of now I would like to diagnose the problem.As with the paper-clip method,I short the 24 pin power plug.So,that means that 24-pin cable is working.
That comes down to either the 24-pin socket OR ATX 4 pin cable/SOCKET which is beside the processor.As I have a ATX 4x4 pin cable I tried to use both of them but to no avail.
That lowers down to the ATX 4 pin socket.So,that got screwed?
The last time I powered up my PC was yesterday by breadboarding it.After that I placed it back into the cabinet.
What are your thoughts on this one? Can you suggest me something to make it working again? Will CMOS reset help in such case?
And is it normal that my ATX 24 pin power cable has 23 wires?
Please reply as soon as possible.

Mainboard MSI 785GM-P45 compatibility test with mouse A4tech ?

I bought a new optical mouse, A4tech X5-70MD to replace an old one which was too small for gaming, but my computer didn't recognize it probably, sometime it works ok, but the right button of my mouse malfunctioned occasionally, other buttons are also screwed up, especially when my PC waking up from sleep state. So I replaced the mouse with an identical one, but still the problems remained.
I’ve already tried to reinstall the driver, OS and BIOS but those problems didn't go away.
My mainboard have a new BIOS update named "Improved PS/2 mouse compatiblity issue" but it still not solve my issue
I think my problems mainly come from the mainboad because the mouse still works ok on other computer
So, is there any tool for me to check and fix this compatibility issue ??
thanks !!

I try all drivers, all usb port, then I said my problem to the distributor, they exchanged me a new model A4tech N-70FX ...STILL THAT PROBLEM ...AAAAAAAAA
Because 2 models work well in their computer so no 4th to exchange, and now, I need to bear with my mouse and wait for respond from MSI support team, A4tech support team and good guy here
Each time problem happened, I need to unplug and plug again

MSI P45 Graphics Card

Okay i have 2 9500GT 1GB card, im selling one off and trying to purchase a Geforce GTS450 1GB. Now will a GTS450 and 9500GT co-exist on one system with no issues (450 being my primary display ). More over will the GTS450 be compatible with my Mother board Platinium P45
Sheldon

Yes to both questions. I had a 250 GTS & a 260 GTX for a short time on it when I had my P45 Platinum.
In the future no bumps please, yours has been removed.

B75MA-P45 and Intel Xeon E3-1230V2, is a videocard necessary?

Hi all,
I want to buy a MSI B75MA-P45 in combination with an Intel Xeon E3-1230V2, but do I need to buy a videocard if I only need to use the Linux console. I will be installing a VMware ESX on it.
Thanks in advance

Since the Xeon doesn't have integrated graphics, I think you have to connect a kind of dummy plug to an onboard graphics port to trick the system into thinking it has graphics and monitor.

R7770 on B75MA-P45?

Have been trying to fit a new MSI R7770-pmd1gd5 to an MSI B75MA-P45 in a PC running Windows8, but can't get any output. The PSU is 550W, the 6pin connector is connected, the previous card works fine in the slot. What do we need to do to get this combination working? - or are they not compatible...?
Thanks!

It is an Advent DT2412: I7-3770, 16GB RAM, 2TB hard drive, Win8. It previously had a GT630 2GB graphics card (which still functions as expected when put back in the machine). The R7770 produces no output to the monitor at all (Iiyama E2482HSD via DVI)
