Strange behaviour of p35 platinum

ok this mobo is 2 days old in my pc .installed all bits and bobs then installed xp pro and all went like a dream not one problem its still running fine now,,however i turn all plugs off at night and when i rise the next day and turn all plugs back on and boot the pc it boots up then shuts down and after 4 to 5 seconds reboots and runs fine and because i leave the power on all day i can boot normally into windows without any problems,so anybody any idea why turning the power off at night would cause this strange behiour

This actually normal behaviour. It happens on MSI boards with P965/975X based chipsets as well, when you cold boot the system or if you change certain BIOS settings (especially OC). If everything else seems to work as it should, you don't have to worry about it.

P35 platinum strange pauses

Hello,
I just bought an 8800gt. The issue I'm facing is one of the weirdest I have seen in my time spent with computers. I can play Crysis non stop, and everything is perfect. No overheating, I can OC the hell out of card (670 / 2000) and no problem crop ups. However as soon as I exit and run another game (or 3d mark) after some time (within first 5 minutes) extreme stutter begins. Game pauses for about 30-45 seconds, but computer doesn't crash, if I hit alt-tab and come back issue resolves immediately but repeats itself in a matter of minutes. Strangest part is the game could be a heavy title such as Crysis or light one such as Baldur's Gate 2, it doesn't matter.
Problem began after upgrading to a 8800gt from x1900xt. These issues happen in clean formatted Windows (both X32 and X64 versions) and definitely hardware related. Tried many drivers etc. I guess it's not the card cause as I said I can run heavy titles for many hours, the problem doesn't rear its head unless I quit and run another game -or same game-.
My full specs:
Axle 8800gt - fan at %70 with RivaTuner
Q6600 at stock (2.4 ghz) (is my PSU enough? Please check PSU specs below)
GEIL 4 gb Ram (4x 1gb) DDR2 800 at 4-4-4-12 (tried taking out sticks, no help here)
MSI P35 Platinum BIOS v1.6 (I have suspicions here - PCI Express compatibility?)
Seagate 400GB SATA & Seagate 300GB SATA
PATA DVD-ROM & DVD Writer
Silverstone Zeus 650W - http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_spec.php?pno=st65zf&area=usa
I use DVI to VGA converter. Tried all driver revisions. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
One more question, can anyone tell me if I should plug 12V motherboard PCI Express power cord, I have tried both (6 pin is connected of course) but does it make any difference when 6 pin cable is connected?

It kinda sounds like a software issue but I'm not sure beacuse you said that this happens even after a fresh install. I does sound like some process doesn't get shutdown properly when you exit out of a game and when you start something else up with that process still running it causes problems.
The only thing I can think to try would see if maybe there is a patch or update to the games or something.
It could be a hardware problem (they can cause some really strange problems sometimes). Don't know where to start though. I would guess the video card or possibly power supply.
For your power supply question you should plug in all three connectors to the board for best stability. The 24 pin & the 8 pin (I think you can use 4 pin here as well) & regular 4 pin molex. And of course the 6 pin to the video card. I think this setup can provide the most power to your system.

Strange Behaviour P35 NEO2 Memory Throughput

Just Found something really odd. I have my MSI NEO2 FR jumpered to the 333 strap rather than the 266 it comes out of the box. There is no setting in the Bios to choose this so you have to change the jumpers. This gave me a big boost in memory performance (from 6500MB/s range to 8600MB/s range)so if you have one of these boards I suggest you do this!
The strange behaviour is that if I boot with FSB of 480 FSB pushing my memory at 1200Mhz and then down clock to 470 FSB using MSI's Dual Core Center with mem at 1175Mhz, I get Sandra XII SP1 memory throughput at 8735. If I boot with FSB of 470 I get Sandra XII SP1 memory throughput at 8550. This is using Memset with the same settings in both modes. This doesn't make any sense to me. I know it is only a 2% difference but a performance gain with the same settings and just a different way of getting there seems quite strange!
Anybody got any ideas why this would be?

P35 Platinum: I have to press the power button multiple times to start

Hello fellow MSI customers,
as written in the subject, I have a problem with starting my PC. When I press the power button, the computer powers on, but there is no output to the screen. In fact, my LCD stays in standby mode. I can hear the fans running, so something is going on. According to the LEDs on the mainboard, it is a memory problem.
Now I turn the computer off, using the power button (have to hold it for a few seconds). When off, I start again and everything runs as it should.
After starting, I ran memtest86 multiple times without any errors. I ran a few games, compiled some programs, installed Vista 64bit, Linux, all without any crashes or hangups. It is just the starting that makes problems. After booting it is very stable.
Seeing that it could be a memory problem, I brought another pair of memory, just to be sure. I couldn't reproduce the problem on that day! Any type of memory I put in (the one before, or the newly brought home) the computer always started on the press of the button. So I thought, OK, maybe they were not seated correctly. But, alas, two days later it is again only starting by pressing the power button three times.
What I tried:
1. Boot using only 1 piece of memory stick
2. Boot using only 1 piece of memory, but different one
3. Use another pair of memory <- worked, but on that day it also worked using my original memory
4. Disconnected everything except graphics card, to make sure it is not a power supply issue (minimized power usage)
5. Tried all of the above with a different processor
6. Used another power supply
Any other ideas?
Here are my specs:
MSI P35 platinum
Core2 Q6600
Nvidia 7900GT
4GB V-Data DDR2 800MHz <--- I think this is the problem, any experiences?
Enermax Liberty 400W
a few other things (HDDs, XFi, DVD-RW)
By the way, how can I boot from an external DVD-RW? It doesn't show in the menu when I press F11 (boot menu).
Thank you for any help, muro
And just to let a bit of steam off:
1. I had major problems with the RAID controller (not MSI fault, rather intel) - I put two disks into a RAID 0, then RAID 1 and they always failed after a few boots - member missing on both disks. I was getting angry, so I put them as normal (non RAID) disks and everything is fine since, although no RAID.
2. Installing anything except windows with an IDE DVD-RW is very hard. It took me ages until I got Ubuntu booting (there are guides on the net, google is your friend), and much longer to get grub (boot loader) working. Long story short - if you have multiple disks, use the Linux disk as the bootable, do NOT put grub on the disk where Vista is installed.
3. I have no idea, how to update the BIOS, if I had to. I'm using 1.1 that came on the board. I use 64bit Vista and Linux, none of which is supported to upgrade the BIOS. Any hints how to do it (if I needed to)?

Hello,
now today is the day I've finally received my replacement board. The good news first - it DOES work! Yepeeee!
Now some more information:
The jmicron controller seems to be missing - a screen with something about "Marvel" is shown before the intel raid screen. However, it is only visible for a fraction of second, so I cannot read it. I think it detects my IDE DVD-RW so I'm quite certain it's the replacement for jmicron. I won't miss it - it took me ages to install Linux with the jmicron controller.
The problem where I had to restart the computer sometimes because it didn't even post (RAM error) is gone. It boots just fine now.
I had an extremely long first post - about a minute, but after that it boots very fast now.
anyway, regarding some questions around here - the manual states MSI recommends using an 350W power supply. My 400W is more than enough. Please note - it is an Enermax, not one bundled with a cheap case. My cheap RAM sticks also work very well now. I did try them on different boards before, so now I know I just had a faulty board.
In the end, I can only say this: This is my 3rd board already and it's the first one that works well. As the hardware changed, I presume there were major issues with this board that lead them to make a new revision. What is strange, though, is that the revision is still 1.1, as were my previous two. I pity everybody who had the same problems as I did, but I can now say that I'm very happy about the board now.
Cheers, muro

P35 platinum RAID Question?

I'm moving from Opteron to quad core intel... and a friend of mine warned me of a few things...
First: Intel keeps part of its processor design to itself so that its chipsets bring more performance than others' chipsets like Nvidia....? so it's wise to go with intel chipset?
Scond: Intel chipsets have strange way of dealing with SATA RAID being emulated from IDE????? with same speed as IDE... does this apply to the new chipset p35????
Which is a better and more powerful board to get for a QX6700 processor: P6N diamond or P35 platinum? putting into consideration that the system will include 3 sata ii hdds in RAID 5 configuration???

There is no genuine lead here between chipset performance of Intel, Nvidia, ATI and even SiS. Of course, in most benchmark cases, you will see the new P35 Intel chipset is leading in most benchmark. But woulld you really feel that difference? For the LAN, maybe. For the RAID performance, maybe. But for RAM and stuff, probably not.
So, just pick the right, most stable board with the most stable chipset, and most stable BIOS.

P35 Platinum rebooting problem

Hello,
I have just registered at MSI Forums, as i have quite strange problem with my PC and i need help :azn:
My specs:
Motherboard : MSI P35 Platinum, bios ver1.9
CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo e6600 coolde with Thermalright Ultra 120a + Zalman 120mm fan
Memory: Mushkin XP2-6400 2 GB CL4-4-3-10
VGA : Inno3D 8800gts 512 with Accelero s2 rev2 + 2 Silverstone 90mm fans
HDD : Seagate 160GB SATA
Optical : Liteon DVDRW LDW-851S
PSU : Tagan TG430-U22 (i am running it at 'combined rails' mode, which has 28A rating for the 12v rail-information from the sticker)
I also have 3 120mm fans mounted in case
I have Windows XP SP2 installed
I took attempt to overclock my cpu and memory, and i managed to get 3.4ghz for cpu and 972mhz for memory (486FSB ; CPU Multipliter 7 ; RAM timings 5,5,5,15 ; RAM voltage 2,0v ; CPU voltage 1.4125v ; VTT FSB voltage AUTO ; NB voltage 1.45v ; SB I/O power 1.8v ; SB core power 1.15v), i am able to run Orthos Blend test (stressing cpu and memory) for about 8 hours (so it's pretty stable I think)
So, let's get to the point:
I am able to run my PC flawlessly all day long, but when i try to turn it on next day, it keeps rebooting itself for few minutes (it turns for about 10 seconds but the screen stays black, then it turns off and turns on again.....LEDS keep showing red/red/green/red indicating memory problem) and finally boots with 'overclocking failed' information.............i get to the bios, change ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, save settings (or not save..it doesn't matter at all) and then it boots and loads Windows no problem.......... what the heck is wrong?? Is it memory problem? Or maybe PSU? (I was using it in my previous PC)
Any suggestions ? :azn:
Thanks in advance

Avoid that one, instead go for:

A few questions regarding your current setup:
1) How are your system temperatures (CPU core temps, GPU temps, system temp etc). Use SpeedFan/Everest/Core Temp to monitor your system temperatures.
2) Is DOT disabled in BIOS? If not, please disable DOT immediately and see if there is any change in system behaviour.
3) Is MSI Dual Core Center installed/running when this happens? If yes, uninstall that tool for further tests.
4)
Try to loosen RAM performance settings for testing:
- reduce memory freqency to 667 MHz in BIOS
- manually set RAM timings to 5-5-5-18 in BIOS
- set memory voltage to 1.9/1.95/2V for testing
5) Have you installed the Vista Patch for more than 3Gb of RAM?
1) CPU: 31C 34C 31C 31C; GPU: 60C; System: 45C (speedfan). Here in Panama ambient temp is somewhere between 25-31C
2)Yes DOT is disabled all time
3)I never installed dual core center
4)Currently is running @800
5)I downloaded the patch and it says that doesn't apply to my system (Vista 64bit)
I found that when disabling the x-fi, the system runs OK. Is there any issues with that x-fi or 64bit driver? I ask because previously I was running vista 32bit with that same soundcard and everything was OK.
Thanks for the replies!

Cannot get out of standby - P35 Platinum

Hello everyone,
I recently build myself a new rig, featuring a nice and shiny new P35 Platinum board. Here are the system specs:
MSI P35 Platinum - BIOS version 1.4
OCZ GameXStream SLI/Active 600W
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4Ghz overclocked to 2.88 (FSB 320)
2x 1GB 1066Mhz PC-8500 Kingston HyperX RAM (5-5-5-15) no overclock there
2x Seagate Barracuda 320GB in RAID 0
Sapphire Radeon HD2900XT, 512M etc etc
Some IDE NEC DVD+/-RW Drive
Here comes the problem. I put my system on standby, and down it went. I restarted it once, booted into Windows Vista Home Premium, 32bit without a problem. Then I turned it off again and went away for a few hours. I came back, started the machine and... nothing. At least not on the screen: it tells me that it's not receiving a signal. All the fans are spinning, and I hear a normal, single post beeb. I opened the case, and saw led3 was constantly shining. I don't know if this was the case before the problem turned up, I never bothered to look at it. The status leds on the board have shown me varying stuff, I got all greens once, and I believe it booted to windows on that occasion. I also got it green-red-red-green once, but that pattern didn't come back. I tried to clear cmos with the button, system powered down etc etc (which didn't help), and now I'm getting green-green-red-green (searching for a floppy drive), and it's not booting to windows anymore. Which seems logical after clearing cmos, because in standard bios settings, the Intel RAID controller is disabled, so it can't find Windows anymore And now the big question... how on earth can I reset the board so that it doesn't think its standby anymore, without any display support? It seems unlikely there's a defect in the graphics card or the psu doesn't supply enough juice; the rig ran just fine the other day (also on heavy gaming/video processing).
Please help me out, o great MSI forum experts
Juul

It's really strange. On one hand, the status leds indicate the system boots normally, it even booted into Vista once (heard the vista starting sound), but on the other hand, there's NOTHING on the display. Everything seems to work just fine, except for the fact that I'm not seeing anything before the problem arose, I booted several times with the memory installed. I experienced absolutely no problems at all. I also tried to boot with only one stick, didn't solve the problem. But I will try it with a 6400 stick. I just wish I'd never ever put the stupid thing on standby. I'm thinking of an S1 / S3 problem myself. Is it possible the videocard still thinks the entire system is on S3 standby and therefore refuses to output anything to the screen? I didn't adjust any of the settings in the power management section of the bios when I still had visual access to it, by the way.

They suspect a ground issue, but also have been reported several 12V rail "abnormal behaviours".
hi all, thanks for posts. we already switched to enermax psus and everything is going just fine.
but the question about cooler master psu still remain...we've done some electric tests, but we didnt find any ground problems...regard the 12V rail...an "abnormal behaviours" is a *very* generic definition of the problem, so we dont understand where we have to look...
It would be nice to find where really is the problem, so we really can say they products are "mediocres" and feel free of suggest them or not...this way product judgment can be based on real technical facts and not personal opinions...

P35 Platinum Problems

Hello everyone.
I'm having a very similar problem to inucubuS'. The difference is that I've never overclocked my machine in any way, and it has been running stable for the past year or so with the same specs.
Around 3 months ago it started (very rarely) to hang on the "fake boot" with all fans running at max speed and not POSTing. The solution to each of those cases would be the CMOS clearing and loading of optimized values. After each episode it would run smoothly for many days until it happened again.
Then 3 days ago it started to hang on the fake boot for minutes, sometimes turning on and off for random periods of time, and clearing the CMOS would not solve it. During that time MoBo would show 4 red lights which made me wonder if it was a CPU issue. Strangely enough, each of these episodes were solved by simply letting it turn on/off by itself until it finally started to POST. Now I'm trying to leave my computer turned on at all times, only rebooting by OS.
I'm running Windows XP SP3, P35 platinum, E6750 at stock speeds and cooler, Corsair XMS Twin2X 2GB RAM (set at BIOS for Default speed), 500GB Western Digital HD, eVGA 8800GT @ factory clocks. System is running at mild temperatures, current BIOS version 1.9, Zalman ZM600 PSU.
I'd like any opinions on what I should do to try and fix this, should I try the same thing as incubusS even though I never OCed and am running everything at default/factory settings? I'm kinda scared to actually turn it off to try anything so I'd like to get any input beforehand
Thanks for reading all that and sorry for the long post.

Hey Jack, first of all thanks for the reply.
The modules are Corsair's TWIN2X2048-6400C4DHX, two 1GB sticks set in dual mode according to the P35's manual displacement. Their settings in BIOS are left as the default. I can't remember the voltage right now, but it was set as it was from optimal values, grayed out.
As for the message, it would appear during the first episodes (meaning the ones 3 months ago), saying "previous attempt to OC failed", but the ones I'm having now are actually booting without any BIOS tuning at all, although one of them happened after I reset CMOS from the MoBo switch, requiring another BIOS loading.
What baffles me is that even during the first problems I'd never tried to OC my machine in any way.
I hope any of that helps... I'm actually contemplating trying some BIOS tweaking since I won't have to turn the computer off completely, which is what frightens me.

P35 Platinum won't start up

Yesterday I flashed the BIOS with the latest official update and computer started normally. Only windows came up with some strange errors. So I wanted to reinstall windows but in the BIOS I couldn't select my Lite-On drive to be first to boot. In fact my BIOS didn't see it at all. So I cleared the CMOS again and went to the Boot Sequence part in the BIOS and now he was there again. I didn't change it for now because I first wanted to set in the Integrated Peripherals -> I/O devices -> RAID Mode to RAID and restart it again. So I did.
And there there was nothing, no beeps nothing. Nothing on the screen. Lights are burning on the board.
According to burning LEDs and the the manual the board is "Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting".
I pressed the Clear CMOS button multiple times, took out the battery, took off the powersupply. -> didn't change anything.
What else can I do?

P35 Platinum and WD Hard Disks unrecognised on cold boot

Hi,
I am having a problem with my WD drives on my P35 Platinum motherboard. Simply, if I power down my PC neither drive is recognised when I boot up again. Usually I have to open the PC, reseat the SATA cables (this may be a red herring) and then when restarted the drives are recognised again.
A simple restart from within Windows (warm boot) works every time.
I would have suspected a cabling connection problem, except that I have tried other cables and also the fact that it is both drives every time, rather than one, other or both randomly.
I have seen other people having problems with the spin-up time of WD drives and have disabled quick booting in the BIOS, but this has not helped much. I have also verified that the RAID Mode is set to IDE, as I am not using any RAID features.
The disks themselves are plugged into SATA3 & SATA4, whilst my Pioneer DVD Writer is plugged into SATA5.
I have the latest BIOS installed but cannot remember the version number off the top of the head, my full hardware spec is in my sig and the 160GB drive is my system disk.
Does anyone have any other suggestions that I could try?
Apart from this issue my PC works flawlessly.
Regards,
Charles

Problem installing MSI P35 Platinum & MSI NX8600GT & windows XP

Hi all,
I just bought my MSI P35 platinum mobo and MSI NX8600GT graphics card.
Was trying to install XP on it. During installation, got the following error message :
A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this appears again, follow these steps:
Check to be sure you have adequate disk space. If a driver is identified in the Stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video adapters.
Check with your hardware vendor for any BIOS updates. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Startup Options, and then select Safe Mode.

APEX Listener and EPG - strange behaviour

Hi
For some years, I've used EPG for APEX but have struggled with performance particularly as I can have up to 150 student developers using at any one time.
I do a fair amount of work using ORDImage and have successfully developed APEX applications to upload image files and display full-size and thumbnail images.
After upgrading to APEX 4.1 (from 4.0), I decided to install APEX Listener standalone.
Before I did so I checked that my applications still worked in 4.1 and they did.
However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.
Configuring APEX Listener and running the same application through that DOES display the images.
So this part of the application works under APEX Listener but not under EPG.
My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed upload. Under EPG it works as expected and I get a success confirmation.
So this part of the application works under EPG but not under APEX Listener.
Has anyone else come across different behaviour depending on the mode of connection?
Thanks

Hi Brian,
it sounds like you have both EPG and APEX Listener running on the same machine, so your problem might result from a port conflict. Note that both services use TCP port 8080 as default.
At least a port conflict would explain the strange behaviour in your case, some things working on one web server and some on the other.
Some parts of your initial post hint to that direction, e.g.
However, just installing APEX Listener but not configuring it (yet) has meant that my image display in a report using a procedure based on >wpg_docload.download_file( l_ordimage_image.source.localData ) no longer works in EPG - the images are not displayed.... because the APEX Listener only interfere with the EPG if it is at least running on the same machine as your database and furthermore, if it is unconfigured in terms of ist database connection, a port conflict might be the only way it could cause anything like that.
However, if you are sure that's not the issue, please check if you see any error in the APEX Listener's log for the following action you performed:
My application also allows users to upload images from APEX_APPLICATION_FILES using standard code. Under APEX Listener after uploading, I'm left with a blank >page with a wwv_flow.accept URL although the image does indeed uploadIf you actually see just a blank screen, something very bad must have happened and you should see some kind of stack trace there.
For further investigations, if necessary, it would be helpful to know how you deployed or started your APEX Listener and which JDK version you use.
For the moment, I still think the port conflict is my best guess.
You could avoid it by either changing the port for EPG (I'd not recommend that if you have other users still using it) or by changing the port for your APEX Listener.
