REMOVE: Multipler + Intel EIST problem on P35 NEO.

Allright you probaply are familiar with this problem.
When Im trying to change multipler on my motherboard settings it says that Speed Step haves to be disabled.
I have latest BIOS on my motherboard and in case of somebody suspecting OC albility of MSI p35 Neo; I had hit it to 400 FSB and it run without problems.
My system is;
Intel e6750 2.6 Ghz + Zalman cnps9700
Kingston Valueram 667 Mhz
Well rest of thing you dont probaply need to know.

I don't think I really understood what your problem is...
Can you try to explain it a little more in detail and tell us with what you need help or advice?

Multiple problems with P35 Neo Combo-F based system

Friend of mine, after returning from a trip, complained that he couldn't power up his computer. After analysis it was found that his (no-name) PSU was dead. Unfortunately replacing the PSU was not end to the problems. Here are the configuration details:
Mobo: MSI P35 Neo Combo-F v1.0 with v1.7 BIOS
CPU: Intel Celeron 420
RAM: single Transcend JM800QLJ-1G 1GB DDR2-800 module
Video Card: Gigabyte nVidia GV-NX84G256H
HDD: 1xMaxtor STM3250310AS DiamondMax 21 SATA
OS: Microsoft Windows XP SP3
PSU: LC-Power LC7380 PowerSilent Taurus 380W (3,3V: 20A, 5V: 20A, 12V1: 14A, 12V2: 8A)
Other: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-212D SATA
Problem(s) description:
When powering up, system turns on for a second or two, then like it powers down for roughly the same time, and then turns itself on again and then boots. Not sure if this is double/fake boot "feature", but for single system power up I don't like having HDD powered up twice. This happens for every power up. BIOS has been upgraded to latest 1.7 using MSI Windows utility, after update system has been turned off, power cord removed, BIOS jumper set to clear for couple of minutes, then returned to normal position, returned power, started up the system, loaded optimized defaults, in power management setup's wake up event setup I have disabled "resume by pci device" and "resume by pci-e device" options which were only by default enabled "resume by ..." items.
System is very unresponsive, even after clean install with only motherboard drivers installed (Intel INF). I've checked with Sysinternals Process Explorer, Deferred Procedure Calls process is occupying most (50% - 70%) of the CPU, making "System" (and not "System Idle Process") occupying CPU 100%. I've checked with Spybot 1.6.2 and with Kaspersky AV 2010, there is no malware on the system. Odd thing is that while I'm running latest Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool "System" process falls down to 3% of CPU load and system becomes responsive more than ever.
When restarting system, after clean install and before installing any drivers, system would freeze at "Windows is shutting down" screen. Once I install Intel inf motherboard drivers, since then system kind of restarts, screen goes black, but it doesn't boot up again - I have to do a hardware reset.
When shutting down the system, similarly to restart scenario, system kind of shuts down, I can hear HDD is stopped, but system power LED remains on, and both CPU and PSU fans remain on.
Not sure if it is related but I'll mention it anyway, even though I can browse internet and download files with no problem, Windows update and Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 updates barely move from 0% after hours and hours of running (Kaspersky never moves off of the 0%, while Windows Update takes ages to get additional percent of a single ~900KB update)
I've tried replacing that single Transcend memory stick with single Kingston KVR800D2N5/2G DDR2 stick, and replacing graphics card with MSI's R4350-D512H, but in vain. I've also tried putting in 2 Kingston DDR2 sticks, but then system wouldn't boot at all. I've also tried replacing PSU with LC-Power's LC-6550 V2.0 (+3,3V: 30A, +5V: 28A, +12V1: 14A, +12V1: 14A) but it didn't solve anything.
I'm running out of options, any advice would be welcome.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Stevo.

This is normal behaviour. Nothing to worry about:

I don't like having HDD powered up twice.
Your HDD is going to be just fine. Todays hard drives are usually built to be able to take 50'000 power-on-Cycles. If you turn on your system once a day, it will take about 68.5 years until you reach that number with that double-boot behaviour. When you power on your system 8 times a day, you will still have to do that for about 8.5 years (each day) until you reach 50'000. That means if your hard drives breaks within the next 5 years (warranty period), it is highly unlikely that this has anything to do with the double-boot behaviour.

Did your install CD already include SP3?

This is another indication that your problems is Windows related. There is something wrong with your OS installation. You are talking about a clean OS Installation with no drivers but AV Software and Anti-Spyware stuff installed. This does not sound very healthy.
My suggestion would be to clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU, load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS after that, repartition and format your hard drive from Windows Setup and reinstall Windows XP SP3. When you done, start with installing the latest Intel Chipset drivers (nothing else before that) and then restart your system right after the installation is done. Then install all the other drivers step by step and see if that changes anything.

Strange problem with P35 Neo

Hi there.
Got a strange problem with a computer that got a P35 Neo system board.
The problem I got, is that the computer don't boot. If I reset the CMOS,
I can get the computer to boot, but then it hungs on loading Vista.
Then I try to repair my Vista. Then the computer hungs while loading the DVD.
I have tried to boot with only one RAM in the computer, but the problem still
there...
I have tried to reset the CMOS by changing the JPBAT (I think it called so) jumper
and to pull out the battery.
I have tried to disconnect all, but one HDD and but I can't say that it worked any
better...
Any ideas how to find out the error?

P45 Q6600 Intel EIST problem

Hi All,
I have a Q6600 on a P45 neo3.
The cpu is overclocked by increasing the FSB Frequency.
I would work with a greater FSB using a lower multiplier (x8), so disabling Intel EIST.
The problem is that I run linux and disabling Intel EIST result in an unknown CPU and the cpu scaling doesn't work at all.
Has anyone the same problem ?

Uhm,
I'm not sure that's the right way !
I can run my q6600 at 3ghz (333 x 9) with linux (I don't use windows, I have installed it only for benchmark ) and my cpu is recognized and it's scaled fine. If I disable EIST the cpu isn't recognised and it's not scaled.
It seems that EIST is important

A problem with p35 neo-combo and DDR3 4GB 1066

HI
i tried upgrading my system to 4 Gig Ram, i bought a DDR3 4GB 1066MHZ single stick from kingston and installed on the A1 slot on the MB.
i just upgraded my bios tot he latest 1.07 version, didn't help either.
i have no clue as to why the sys won't boot. doesn't even pass BIT.
PLZ help. thanks.

Buy a 2x2 4GB kit. No reason to use a single channel with 1 stick when you can run dual channel (2 sticks) with a little better performance.
Edit: Don't know how much where you live but for Kingston KVR1066D3S8N7K2/4G is only $23 at newegg in the US.
Something more:
DDR3-1066 (CAS = 7) is not faster than DDR2-800 (CAS = 5)
For this (old) combo mainboard (with dual DDR2/DDR3 controller), 2x2GB DDR2-800 is probably the best choice.

EIST Problem P35 Neo Q6600

Hi all.
I have overclocked my Q6600 (G0) to 3.28GHz (411 FSB x8 Multiplier) on MSI P35 Neo (BIOS v1.10/1.A). Problem is that if I enable EIST in BIOS and set the CPU multiplier at 8x the multiplier will not remain at 8x when booting. It will try to boot with 9x and as a result will hang/freeze the computer during boot. Only way to stop it from going higher than 8x is to disable EIST. I would have kept EIST disabled if MSI motherboards didn't have problem of feeding a lot more vcore when CPU is idle. CPU VID is 1.28v and in BIOS I have set it at 1.33. At idle it hovers around 1.35v +/- 0.01 and under load it drops to 1.31 +/- 0.01. At 3.33GHz (370 FSB x9 Multiplier) EIST works as intended but I have to set RAM at 740MHz (at next mem divider it goes to 888MHz unstable).
My computer specs are:
CPU: Intel C2Q Q6600 G0
MB: MSI P35-Neo
RAM: Corsair XMS 2 3GB DDR2 800MHz (2GB+1GB)
PSU: Corsair HX620
VGA: HIS Radeon HD4870 1GB
HDD: Seagate 500GB SATAII ST3500418AS
And other normal stuff.
Does some one know of a method to enable EIST successfully at 8x multiplier or some BIOS for MSI P35 Neo that fixes this problem? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards

I am guessing you have your Q6600 at 400x9?
No, I have an E6600.
Quote
Your signature says EIST enabled...
Yes, but what does that have to do with your system running @x8? If I wanted to make my system operate at a lower multiplier, I would have to disable EIST as well.

At idle it hovers around 1.35v +/- 0.01 and under load it drops to 1.31 +/- 0.01.
The idea that the voltage has to stay put at the same level when the system is IDLE and under full load is somewhat of a misconception. Voltage Droops are not necessarely caused by poor power regulation but have to do (at least in the first degree) with the Intel Processor Power Delivery Design
Guidelines and Specifications.
Please have a look here:
http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=126
Quote
Load line droop (or Vdroop) is an inherent part of any Intel power delivery design. A current proportional to the average current of all active channels flows through load line regulation resistor RFB. The resulting voltage drop across RFB is proportional to the output current, effectively creating an output voltage droop with a steady-state value. Equation 2 dictates the value for RFB that should be choosen to satisfy the Intel VRD specification (the source of RLL) based on a) the number of power delivery phases (N) and b) the equivalent series resistance (ESR) of the inductor used, effectively known as DCR.

I only want to enable EIST so that CPU vcore voltage doesn't go higher than 1.33v
What happens if you adjust the voltage downward somewhat? Is the 1.33V setting really the lowest possible setting for your current clock speed?

P35 Neo Combo, boot problem? [FIXED]

** PROBLEM SOLVED - Tech support told we that if there was any way to update the BIOS to version 1.3 then I should do that. I found a way and after that everything have been running smoothly.
I would like to thank everyone that helped me in here and hope that my experience and the solution might come in handy to someone else. **
**This thread have been updated with more information and an alteration of the story as my experience with the board/BIOS grew larger, and some information was given to me by at kind person in this thread**
Hello everyone.
Some days ago I got some new hardware and put it all together but I ran into a big problem.
Specs of the new machine:
Case: Arctic Cooling T2 Pro, Miditower, 500W
Psu name: AX-500F, specs:
+12v: 14 A (15 A peak)
+12v2: 16 A (19 A peak)
+5v: 25 A
+2.3v: 30 A
-12v: 0.5 A
+5vSB: 2.0 A (3.0 A peak)
This information is a direct quote from Artic Cooling's homepage:
Power Supply
The AX-500F is a power supply optimized for high end PC's and complies with Intel's ATX12V version 2.0. The continuous output power fulfils gaming system requirements based on multiple VGA boards.
The AX-500F was tested with the following configurations:
AMD Athlon FX-62 CPU
2 GB Ram
2x ATI X1950 XTX (Cross Fire)
Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU
2 GB Ram
2x NVIDIA 7950 Gx2
I also did try booting with a more powerful PSU but still no luck, and from what I can see then this one should be powerful enough
Mobo: MSI P35-NEO-Combo-F, Intel P35, Ver. 1.0, BIOS ver. 1.2
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, BOX
Ram: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4, 2x1024MB 2.1v
Graphics card: Inno3D GeForce 8800GTS, 320MB, PCI-E
CD-rom: Lite-On DVD/CD
HDD: Western Digital Raptor 74GB
OS: Windows XP 32bit
When I turned it on for the first time nothing happend, no picture no error sounds although I could see and hear that the computer was on. I turned it off and then on again, nothing, I turned it off and then on again and something happend.
I got a red text message saying that my overclocking attempt was unsuccessful, which I found pretty odd cause this was the first time the computer was on. I have now been informed that it's a fail safe build into the BIOS to prevent a melt down if you overclock it too hard, which is kinda smart. I then had the option to go into the BIOS, so I looked at every setting to see if things were OK and if it was somehow overclocked or had some wrong settings.. Everything looked and still looks alright when I save and exit. When I do save and exit, be it with the settings I think is okay, the fail safe or optimized settings then the screen just goes black.
So now for the 'clearing the CMOS' part When I reset the CMOS with the jumper I can get further than the error message about overclocking. I get two options:
1. To enter BIOS setup to configure the bios.
2. To automatically load some default settings and continue booting.
First I tried option 1, after doing a save and exit the screen went black again, got the overclocking message and had to clear the CMOS one more time.
Then I choose option 2, windows started to load, I got into safe mode and windows started to find all the new hardware and so on. When that was done I was kinda forced to reboot, screen went back and yes you guessed it... I had to clear the CMOS and choose options 2. I got as far as getting into windows and installed some of the stuff from the CD-rom's that came with the motherboard, again I was doomed to reboot and clear the CMOS. Once again option 2 needed to be selected to get the system up and running, and I got as far as to the "Want to activate windows" option, and couldn't do that cause the network card was not installed so I had no internet connectivity. Apparently if windows detect too much hardware being replaced then the activation thing pops up, and I later learned that I can't activate my windows anymore cause I used my activation quota and I have to get a new key
What I learned from my brief time in windows normal mode:
Everything seemed to work nicely, and freaking fast too....swiiing!
2gb of ram was detected, running dual channel and at the desired voltage.
The CPU was running at normal speed and voltage.
All in all everything seemed normal until I rebooted.
The only thing I can conclude is that something goes horribly wrong when I clear the CMOS, load some default settings and then reboot. I have seen that I am able to get into the system with my current hardware, but only after a CMOS clear, so what the heck is wrong, what goes wrong after the reboot?
And this is as far as I can get with my own knowledge of computers :(
So now I hope to go that I can get some help from some of you guys, any thoughts on this or anyone know of such a problem and maybe know a solution?
If I missed some information you guys need to solve this puzzle then just ask.
On a side note, if I somehow get the chance to flash my BIOS to version 1.3 in hope that if will solve my problem, then will it erase my chances to send it in for RMA and get a new board? Do I break any rules by doing that?
Best Regards

ok, when you turn it off and on and off and on, the BIOS will think it's an overclocking failure event, and hence display the overclock error message.
usually this is due to the memory settings was set incorrectly (by the BIOS itself). You may need to manually change the memory settings and see if that helps. And, please make sure that your BIOS can support FSB1333 processor like E6750 out of the box. If not, try flashing to the latest BIOS.
Hello and thanks for the quick anwser.
I did check if memory/cpu settings were okay and the seem to be on the right defaut setting. I save and exit and the screen just goes black. I forgot to add the motherboard and BIOS versions but they are there now: Mobo: MSI P35-NEO-Combo-F, Intel P35, Ver. 1.0, BIOS ver. 1.2
I don't see how I will be able to flash the bios when I can't get into windows and do it, and there is no way else for me to do it. If it was the case that the BIOS didn't support FSB1333, then I would never have gotten as far as getting into windows and getting the activation message would I?

P35 neo + q9550 problems

I've just upgraded my one-year-old PC with a new CPU and additional memory. I flashed my old BIOS 1.7 to the newest 7360v20 version, which should support Q9550.
However I can't boot up normally (even to POST) and have to keep trying five times (in order to get the "BIOS settings resetted" -message). The only way to boot seems to be the following: In the resetted BIOS settings menu, I choose to load fail-safe options and DO NOT save the BIOS settings. If I save the BIOS settings, the PC restarts and I'm stuck in the beginning - not getting booted even to POST.
The processor is nicely recognized by BIOS, when I finally get there. When I get booted my OS (winXP 32-bit) seems to run fine and stable (over 100 hours up and running now). However, when I try to watch 1080p video or extract large archives, my CPU slows down remarkably (1080p just doesn't run and extracting takes ages). Basically, I cannot do anything CPU costing. I'm not feeling any other differences. The temperatures seem normal and I don't get any blue screens whatsoever.
I can think of only the following explanations
- My CPU is not supported (my Q9550 is s-spec SLB8V). However, my system had the same boot-up problems with the older E8400 after flashing the BIOS, so that doesn't seem to be the case.
- My BIOS somehow isn't correctly flashed, doesn't actually support the CPU, or some old settings bug it. I've dropped the BIOS battery out a couple of times to be sure.
- My PSU can't somehow keep up
ATM my specs are:
MSI p35 neo(-f) motherboard
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 s-spec SLB8V CPU
2x Corsair Twin2X 1024MB DDR2 800Mhz + 1x Kingston HyperX 2048MB 800MHZ DDR2 memory
MSI N9600GT-T2D512-OC GPU
a cheap-ass PSU with 450W and 12V/18A, 5V/14A, 3,3V/18A
The only hardware changes are the processor and and additional Kingston RAM
The power consumption changes are:
Intel c2d E8400 TDP 65W (old cpu)
Intel c2d Q9550 TDP 95W (new cpu)

but I get only 8x 333mhz = 2,66ghz
If you enable EIST in BIOS, the multiplier should be automatically set to x8.5. As far as I know, this bug only exists if EIST is disabled in BIOS. In any case, the problem should be fixed once you flash the latest A7360IMS.1A0 release for your board. Just make sure that your system is entirely stable before you think about flashing.

Invest in a better PSU as well. Yours does not look very convincing (for comparison: a Corsair VX450 PSU with the same overall wattage can deliver 33A@12V, 20@5V and 20A@3,3V ).

Mixing different memory modules is also not a very good idea as it can cause problems of its own.

VCORE PROBLEMS WITH MSI P35 NEO F

To see if I can help or at least explain what's happening, buy a MSI P35 NEO F for using a quad, the topic is as follows handling vcore is rare
First thing I can not put less voltage that the cpu brings default, second what happens next if bios setting 1.3250 vcore for Quad, once in both windows everest, cpuz, like others programs tell me that this placed on 1.40 vcore which is excessive for the speed at which the quad, this is so in this mobo? Their story that was installed version 1.20 bios which handled vcore%, the upgrade to version 1.40 and is now handled in decimals (numbers) vcore, but still the problem
You pull more vcore which setting in bios and if you want to download the vcore eg put 1.26 vcore not let you because it takes the vcore default of cpu minimum.
i'm not crashing or problems with the temperatures, but nobody likes to have more vcore's necessary.
Wonder because being rookie of this mobo, maybe there's some bios version that fixes this bug or someone knows something else, thank you guys
C2Q Q6600
2 X 1GB G.SKILL 6400

You can slap 1.6v in that CPU and temps won't rise that much.
Core 2 Duo/Quad operates @ 1.250-1.425, anywhere in between those values is perfectly stable for Intel stock cooler and frequency.
Absolutely nothing to worry about. But if you want to complain about >1c I really can't see the sense in that.

P35 Neo-F and Intel Core2Quad Q9550 E0 Stepping

Hello ! I got some problems with my computer since i've changed the cpu.
before i had an intel core2duo e6750 on my msi p35 neo-f board and everything worked fine !
a few months ago i wanted to "tune" my computer a bit , so i've bought a new cpu -> core2quad q9550 e0 stepping
my computer didnt want to work (boot) with this cpu , so i changed to my old cpu and updated my bios version , cause i thougt it should help, considering the informations on msi page !
i've updated to ami 1.9 without using msi live update, using your tool from this forum. ofc i did the cmos reset etc pp, loaded bios defaults.
then i've inserted my new cpu (q9550) and it seemed to work !!!
it seemed to work for a few days.../hours...
since then i was getting bluescreens! irregular bluescreens, no matter what i was doing on my computer. bluescreen messages were different nearly each time. sometimes there was something said about "sys32..."..i dont rly remember. next time i will write it down
i've checked my RAMs with some tools , checked my HDDs with tools, everything fine ! then i wanted to check my cpu with prime95 using a torture test (blend) and my computer crashed directly (short bluescreen) and rebooted ! so i am quite sure that my new cpu / bios configuration / version is the problem !
so my next idea was to reinstall my windows 7 prof. , considering some posts on the www.
well it didnt help. today , one day after reinstalling windows, i got a bluescreen when booting windows. just when booting , without doing anything, next boot worked and computer didnt crash since then, 2 hours ago. so as you can see these crashes/bluescreens are really irregular !
now i am on the msi page again , looking at the cpu support list for my mainboard.
->
Core 2 Quad Yorkfield SLB8V Q9550 333 2.83 12M N/A E0 95 7360v21.zip
so i should flash my bios to 2.1 ???? i've read something about different versions of my mainboard on this board , some are able to work with bios 2.1 , some others are not !
this thread :
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139992.msg1046500;topicseen
now i dont know what to do anymore....flash to 2.1 or not ? where can i check whether i can flash to 2.1 ???
is it possible that my power supply is too weak ?
my system :
windows 7 prof 64 bit
500W BeQuiet Straight Power
MSI Neo P35-F
Intel Core2Quad Q9550
8Gb DDR2 RAM
Sapphire HD 5850 Toxic 1Gb DDR5
as i said my system worked fine before changing the cpu, so my issues should come from the new cpu imho
thanks a lot !
if you need more information i will provide them ofc !

I know that my 4 rams works ok and i dont have any problem with them. I have also tryied to turn up the dimm voltage but with out luck. Please help me!

memory voltage 2.1
Make sure that the memory timings are not set to 4-4-4-x but that they are set to the defaults values (5-5-5-x). Also ensure, that the memory clock speed is not set to anything higher than 400 MHz (=DDR2-800). The voltage at these settings should not need to exceed 1.95V. So please lower it accordingly. In case the freezes still occure, please run memtest86+ to check your memory for errors.

msi dual core center
Please get rid of that tool for all further tests. Uninstall it completely from your system as it is known to cause crashes and freezes on its own terms when running.

P35 Neo problem...

I've just put together my new computer and everything is plugged in right, even the graphic card does start. But I get no signal on the screen and I used the graphic card on my old computer so it should work. Help please

What's the PSU in your other machine? What components are/were in the other machine?
I don't like the 17a ratings for your split rail. I believe a GTX needs nearly 33A and, yes, at max 408/12 is 34a(which is a tad fishy IMHO), but yours is split rail.
I know that the ratings are showing the powersupply to be a split rail. But according to a review on the Jonnyguru website; it looks like both rails are pulling from the same spot on the PCB. Below is part of the review that talks about this.

I plugged in the 8-pin EPS12V connector and proceeded to put a 30A load on it. The PSU did not shut off, which confirmed that my visual observation that all of the +12V leads were in fact coming from the same source on the PCB. The Antec EarthWatts does NOT have multiple +12V rails. It only has one +12V rail with no limiters on any of the connectors.
So even though it is showing that it is a split rail with 17A on each 12V rail; it looks like it might not actually be a split rail PSU.

P35 Neo Combo crash problem

Hi all,
Recently my computer has started to crash with a BSOD (Stop 0x00000124), it happens almost every day but I haven't been able to reproduce the crash, it seems to occur completely randomly. It even crashed when I was away for a day and didn't use the computer - I left it running to see if the crash would happen without me running any programs.
System:
Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo Combo, Bios version 1.7
CPU: Intel Core2 E6750
Memory: 2x2GB DDR2 800MHz
3 hard drives
Graphics: Radeon 4850
Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Pro
I am running Windows 7 Ultimate trial (64 bit), however the same crash happened under Vista Home Premium (64bit) so everything including the error code seems to point to a hardware error.
- disk checks return no errors
- memtest86 returns no errors
Not sure what to try, googling the problem leads me to believe the problem is with the mainboard. I'd like to know if there's something I could try before replacing the board. I have never overclocked anything on this system, mainboard and CPU are about three years old, memory about two, graphics card a year, hard disks 0-3 years. Before this problem happened everything was stable.
Some more info I can think of below. Any ideas/suggestions/assistance welcomed. Thank you!

What I have now is 2x1GB and 2x2GB PC6400, all are A-Data. There was a crash with one of the 2GB sticks, trying the other now.
I might get DDR3 as replacement, as I'll be buying a new system towards the end of the year - my current board supports DDR3 as well and then I could use the memory in the new system. Or I'll just run with 3GB and no dual channel for the time being (the board has 2xDDR2 and 2xDDR3 slots, so can't use more than two sticks).
It's just odd that memory checks don't report any errors, and the system only crashes every 24 hours or so.

P35 Neo ram problems. Does not boot with 4 sticks

Greetings!
This thread is little related to: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=110095.0
Okey so I bought this rig last friday(will post specs later). 4x 1gb ram sticks, shows up as 3.3gb. Was gona install 64-bit Vista today, but got some problems.
I left my computer on during night just to check if it runs fine. I wake up around 6am, turn power on to my monitor. Screensaver, move mouse, desktop and BOOM: Bluescreen(something about memory). Ok so I shutdown my comp, try to reboot got no signal. Removed 2 ram sticks(A2,B2) and yey it works. I plug them back in and again nothing. I test them 1 by 1 on both of the free slots, no problems detected.
Why won't my P35 Neo boot with 4 gigs of ram? And why did it work for 2days? :P
My guess is that the bios is still not ready yet(using 1.2v).
Specs: OCZ 700W GameXStream, P35 Neo-FI, C2D E6750, 4X PQI 1024Mb DDR800Mhz, Leadtek 8800 Gtx

If I understand correctly, you are saying that you can install Vista and XP to the system but not able to boot into the OS'es when you have 4GB of RAMs installed?
I would recommend you to test the RAMs with Memtest86.
Yes, I could install Vista and XP just fine. Also at first I could boot them with 4gigs just fine. Now my system won't POST with 4 gigs.
I've tested each one of the ram sticks and they are error free.

REMOVE: Multipler + Intel EIST problem on P35 NEO.
