Ti 4400 Cold boot problem

Odd problem.
a) if i run a game anytime after a cold boot (even hours) I get flashing and tearing.
b) if i warm boot the problem disappears completely.
c) the problem seems independent of drivers.
d) the problem 'may' be related to Athlon XP2100+ Cpu because I don't remember it happening before installing this.
e) it happens with both Win Me and Xp
It's no big deal because it's easily done but annoying and I wonder why it happens.
Asus A7V 266  512MB DDR 450W Enermax PSU

No, it's not a bad card and it's not a 'warm up' issue.  The card worked fine until I put an Athlon 2100+ Xp in my A7M266 rev 1.05  board (bios 1007) . It's probably the board's bios or something as nobody else seems to have the problem with other boards.

  • Cold boot problem with X-FI Fata1ty card... Need serious help!

    Hey guys:
    I just finished upgrading my computer. Realized that I have a cold boot problem. In order to identify the source of problem. I began the following test.
    . Remove everything except, cpu, heatsink, ram, video card. Tried to boot with those devices. => No cold boot problem.
    2. Install the rest of the ram sticks (I have 4 x 52 in total). => No cold boot problem.
    3. Install the other video card (my setup is 7900gtx in SLI) => No cold boot problem.
    4. Install the Creative X-FI Fataty card. => COLD BOOT PROBLEM
    Once the computer is shut down via the front power switch on the case, the computer will not boot again. To boot the computer, I need to switch off the main power switch on the back of the psu and switch it back on; then turn on the computer via the front power switch on the case. I tried the problem with and without the sound card. Whenever the sound card is installed. There is the problem. If there is no that sound card in my rig, then there won't be any cold-boot problem.
    My rig specs:
    DFI Lanparty nF4 SLI-DR Venus
    AMD Opteron 65 CCBE 609 - Stock speed
    4 x 52 MB G.Skill Samsung TCCD LE 2.85V DDR 400

    I need serious help. This problem is so annoying.
    Tnanks and will greatly appreciate it.Message Edited by White_Hair on 0-27-200605:4 PM

    The onboard sound is disabled. Unfortunately I sold the Seasonic PSU to my friend. The OCZ GameXStream is suppose to be the higher grade psu than Seasonic PSU. Also, the cold boot problem only exists if the sound card is plugged to the motherboard. I tried change different pci slot. It doesn't seem to help the problem.

  • Poll: Do you have cold boot problem with SB X-FI Fatal1t

    Hi guys:
    I have post a thread regarding the cold boot problem with SB X-FI Fatalty and OCZ GameXStream 600W SLI power supply combination. Apparently, no one has answer to that . In addition, I have recently RMA'd my psu and received a brand-new unit. The same problem still exists. If the problem is really with the power supply, doesn't matter what kind of the setup I have, I should still have the cold-boot problem. However, it doesn't seem like that. Doesn't matter what kind of cards I put on the motherboard, as long as the SB X-FI Fatalty card is there, there is cold boot problem (even with the setup of cpu, mother, ram, and the sound card only, WITHOUT video card and harddri've). And for other different setup without the SB X-FI Fatalty card, there is no cold boot. The cpu and memory are running at stock speed.
    My post regarding the cold boot issue:
    http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=79753
    There is one user on the forum saying he has the same problem. Therefore, I think it might be the imcompatibility between the X-FI Fatalty and OCZ GameXStream PSU.
    I would like to know how many people that has the same problem that I am having. So I can possibly narrow down the problem and contact OCZ tech support or creative tech support with more information. It would also be benefitical to those who have the same problem as I do.
    Please post your system setup as well in the thread.
    Greatly appreciate your opinions. Message Edited by White_Hair on 2-02-200604:58 AM

    I would venture to say that it isn't your powersupply, but more likely the X-Fi. I had troubles with my system, until I pulled out my X-Fi and replaced it with a non Creative Labs sound card. One of my troubles, which I incorrectly blamed on my powersupply was the ASUS A8R-MVP motherboard I had and the X-Fi XtremeMusic card, was after gaming for 4 hours, was the?sudden reboot of my system. Powersupply before, was an Antec TrueControl 2 550watt PSU. As it stands right now, I no longer have the parts mentioned and have a decent 700watt powersupply in my system, along with an ABIT AT8 32X motherboard. As you have probably seen there are a lot of problems with the X-Fi soundcards, and I in my right mind can't blame the motherboard, powersupply, motherboard chipset, ram, or any other component in ones system, if one is having trouble other than the X-Fi itself. I'll be honest, there is something quite frankly wrong with the X-Fi, and exactly what that is, I'll probably never know like most people.

  • K8N NEO4 Platinum cold boot problem with 165 opteron?

    I have this board and have a cold boot problem with my opteron. Is there anything I can do to fix this? Its starting to get very anooying.
    K8N NEO4 Platinum
    165 opty dual core
    2X1GB Ballistix PC4000
    160GB sata2
    7800GTX
    X-Fi platinum
    600 watt seasonic PSU

    Well I am running them at the rated speed of 250 and the rated timings of 3-4-4-10 on the rated 2.8 volts. Ballistix have been known to die quickly when you throw to many volts at them for some reason. I dont get the cold boot problem with the OCZ. Once I finally get it to boot with the Ballistix it works just fine but the next morning I play hell to get it to boot again. I dont even get the main screen to let me get into bios. It just stays black. I have done all kinds of stress testing and ran memtest with no problems. I am really at a loss here. 

  • MSI G33M-FI and MSI 9600GT OC cold boot problem

    So I just recently put together my new computer (MSI G33M-FI motherboard) and whenever I shut it down and turn it on the computer will turn off in about 3 seconds (you won't see the bios screen) and then it just turns on and off endlessly/ in a loop.
    Fix is to clear CMOS and it will boot ok but whenever I turn it off (no restart..) the problem is back!, only clear CMOS helps...
    Good thing I found the problem, the videocard (MSI 9600GT OC). When I switch it with my poorly ATI 1950pro I have no problem with a cold boot.
    Using the latest bios version with the motherboard (on the MSI site). Havent flashed my 9600GT 512mb (red double slot cooler version) with a another bios yet though.. (if there is 1, just checked- no new bios).
    Anyone got an idea how to fix this? I don't think so but maybe they should make a new bios to fix this?
    Other parts from computer: Patriot extreme 4 gig (2x2) ddr2 performance (4-4-4-12, 2.2 volt) and an intel e8400 cpu.
    Anyone else having this problem? Thanks...

    I had cold-boot problems with my G33M-FI.  Tried E2140 and Q6600 CPUs at stock voltages/clocks, tried two different sets of DDR2-800 RAM (4x1GB and 4x2GB), tried different CMOS batteries and tried two different power supplies (Thermaltake and Coolermaster 500W supplies).  Regardless of combination of components, system would frequently fail to POST.  Problems were experienced with integrated video (no add-on cards installed) and with/without any drives connected.  Problems were also experienced with a single good stick of RAM in slot 1 vs. all four slots populated.  Once booted, the system performed flawlessly passing memtest86+ and other reliability/stability tests.  Once the system failed to boot, it would almost never boot again until I cleared the BIOS (sometimes requiring me to remove and reinsert the CMOS battery, since the jumper alone didn't cure the problem).  Trial and error of different hardware combinations in an attempt to isolate the problem with a CMOS clear/recovery between attempts proved to be a very painful and tedious process.  After speaking with MSI tech support, solution was to RMA the board.

  • X200s + OCZ Vertex 3 cold boot problems

    Hello,
    I installed an OCZ 120GB Vertex 3 drive in my Lenovo X200s Thinkpad laptop (drive firmware 2.15, latest X200 bios) and have had endless problems with coldboots. I have win7 (64 bit) and ubuntu 11.10 (64 bit) installed and can only get into the GRUB2 menu once in 3-5 times (loads of ctrl-alt-delete or off until I get through). However, going to sleep then restarting the machine works fine.
    win7 doesn't work with AHCI enabled (loads of random BSODs) but Ubuntu is fine. In compatibility mode, win7 boots but may not have liked the latest updates, will need to come back to that later.
    I've checked other forums (including the OCZ forum) and the solution right now seems to be to upgrade the drive firmware to the latest 2.15 version and to "secure erase" the drive before reinstalling. People who have "secure erased" their drives are fine for a few days but then the problem reappears. RMAing the drive doesn't seem to help either.
    So basically, what I'm asking is if anyone's been through the same cold boot problems and / or managed to fix this.
    Cheers,
    John

    Obviously it is the OCZ Vertex 3 flaw. I have a friend finally threw it away and brought a Plextron one. Please have it replaced. I think you should get the hint that the drive is buggy when AHCI causes BSODs.

  • K9A2 Platinum Cold Boot problem

    Hi, recently I have encounter this problem on my K9A2 Platinum that didn't occur before, where after powered off for a few hours, when booting up, there is power to the system but the system won't boot (i.e. no POST or anything). The reset button on my chassis also won't work at that time. And after pressing the power button to shutdown, it won't power up again until I've turn off the mains and wait until the power LED on the mobo to turn off and turning on the mains again.
    After that, my system would be able to boot successfully, but the bios clock will be slow by a few hours. E.g. current time 9am, bios time 5am. I've tried flashing the bios to the latest version and resetting the bios settings doesnt help at all.
    Can anyone plz help me?
    My current rig config is
    K9A2 Platinum w/ phenom 9500
    6gb kingston ddr2 1066mhz
    PowerColor HD3870
    Xonar Essence STX
    Coolermaster RPP 750w
    Thanks a lot in advance.

    Did your problem start after you added this mixed batch of RAM? When did you add RAM to what you had 2 years ago? AMD works best when only 2 sticks are used and you have messed that up by adding 2 more sticks of different RAM. Does it work OK if you remove two of the sticks?
    Not really, I had the mixed batch of ram for almost 8 months without any problems. And the cold boot problem does not happen everytime. I've just tried booting up without any issues this time round. I would see if the problem occurs again and test it with a new cmos battery.

  • K7N2 Delta-L: Strange cold boot problem & solution

    My K7N2 Delta-L has a problem cold booting when the vcore is set in the bios at 1.65v of higher. After a cold boot, you get a blank black screen. I noticed that even if you run at default speeds but set the vcore to 1.65v of higher the problem still occurs. There is no problem rebooting however.
    I found the following solutions:
    1. After you power up and get a blank, hit the reset button.
    2. Don't unplug your PC. My PC is connected to a AVR and after I power down the PC I usually turn the AVR off. If i do this, than the computer will have a booting problem if I try to boot it up 30 minutes later or so. Now if I don't unplug it/power off the AVR than everything is fine.
    I don't understand why it acts the way it does though.
    Does anyone know of any other solutions?

    Have you cleared the cmos. If you do be sure you have the power turned off don't move the cmos jumper with the power on.
    I found that turning off power at power supply and unpluging, than turning on the computer the fans will spin just a little this drains all the power. Clear cmos 2-3 than return to
    1-2 position.
    Than plug the power back in and turn it back on, than try the computer again.

  • Cold boot problems

    Hi out there,
    I have a problem with my MSI 6590. When I boot it hangs on th detection of the IDE HDD. It stays there for about 25 seconds and then tries the floppy and cd-rom. As it does not find an OS it stopps. When warmbooting from there the boot works as HDD is recognized and everything works fine from there on.
    Anybody out there who has teh same problem or an explanationor better even a fix ?
    I am using a WD1200JB.
    :(

    Hi,
    Don't know if our issues have anything in common, but me and a few others have experienced lots of cold boot crashes with Win2K and WinXP. These issues disappear when the PC has "warmed up". Boards KT4 Ultra and KT4V.
    In my case for example, W2K might crash on cold boot reporting random errors, but this never happens when the PC has warmed up.
    All my components have been checked and bios settings set to default so it has to be an issue with the board or bios code or something. I have also reinstalled the OS many times and tried different IDE cables, power supplies - you name it. Issues remain (and got worse with the new 1.25 beta bios, so I flashed back to v1.10).
    But - check your cables and connections. Try to replace the IDE cable and also try the suggested jumper change. Hopefully your issue is just a loose connection or starts working with a different jumper setup.
    As a long shot bug check - try to drop your cpu FSB down to 128 MHz or even all the way to 100 MHz (if running at 133 MHz) and check whether this takes the issue away.
    Regards,
    Tom

  • K7T Turbo2 cold boot problem

    To all:
    I recently replaced my old MB and CPU (Asus a7v133/AMD 850 Mhz T-bird) with a K7T Turbo2/AMD XP 1800+ Thoroughbred.  All of the other components are the same (see below), except the PSU.  I replaced my old one hoping that it would solve my problem.
    When I cold boot the system the fans turn on but the system does not post and the monitor remains off.  If I hit the reset button on the case the system boots normally.  Also about 20% of the time the system emits a constant beeping (sounds like an alarm clock) when I cold start, which goes away when I hit the reset button.  I have also noticed that the system trys to boot when I flip the power switch on the PSU.  I don't know if this is normal with MSI boards, but my Asus would not boot until I hit the power button on the case.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dave
    System Specs:
    K7T Turbo2 (BIOS ver. 3.6)
    AMD XP 1800+ Thoroughbred

    -5V @ 0.5A Max output
    +5VSB @ 2.0A Max output

    To all:
    Thank you for all of your suggestions.  When I got home today I tried to boot up the system with only the 512MB RAM stick (Crucial Part #:CT64M64S4D) inserted in DIMM slot 1.  The computer responded as described in the first post of this thread.  I then tried the 256MB stick (Crucial Part #:CT32M64S8D75) in DIMM slot #1 and the system booted normally.  I then subsequently added the other sticks of RAM in the remaining slots (512MB in slot 2 and the 128MB in slot 3). I think the 128MB stick is hitachi but not 100% sure...it might be Diahatsu (my short term memory isn't too good).  I guess the 512MB stick did not seat well in DIMM slot 1.
    However, my system still wants to boot up independently of the button on the case.  The system will power up once I flip the PSU switch to the on position.  I don't know if this is normal for MSI boards, but my Asus system would not boot until I pressed the case button. I must admit I am still unclear of the JFP1 wiring.  However, I have tried the power switch and reset switch wiring in all combos and this did not solve the issue. Is there a BIOS setting or jumper somewhere that I am missing?  Any more info would be useful.
    Thanks again for the suggestions!
    Dave
    P.S.  
    Mauricio16,
    Please read the entire thread before posting a response.  As I stated earlier, I DO NOT have a D-Bracket...yet, and I HAVE tried a different PSU.  Thanks for your suggestions though.  Luckily it was not as an exteme of case as it could have been.
    I guess both of us have learned a valuble lesson from this experience.  When in doubt, reseat the RAM.

  • K9A Platinum cold boot problems + Other stuff

      Hi lads,
    Have a few things to ask about the K9A
    First the cold boot issue. If the machine is fully powered off for a while and i boot it, it seems to loop at the point where it powers the IDE drives over and over again. This is all before display initializes If i power it off and back on again it will then boot fine. Sometimes i even get an error about overclocking failure even though i'm not OC'n
    Second : Anyone else with a K9A. Do the Sata controllers in XP show up as using drivers from 2001? ie. XP drivers. Even after installing chipset drivers.
    They just come up as 2 primary and 2 secondary controllers. I'd have expected these to at least have some ATI referance.
    Third : USB problems in XP. External drives cause the machine to hard lock, but using a belkin USB card, there are no issues at all. Very annoying
    Machine specs are
    AM2 5600
    2gb of Corsair PC6400
    Corsair 620w
    6800 PCI-E
    4 SATA HDD's
    2x DVD IDE Drives
    X-Fi (have tried onboard audio aswell)
    Any help or suggestions would be appreciated

    Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 11-October-07, 00:57:48
    Think Bas meant the drivers for the motherboard, not the hard disks. Mostly in America, a drive is a hard disk, while in Europe a driver is a software program for a particular device, for example the network card.
    yup i know that
    The soutbridbge drivers are installed. lastest version. old versions, same problems

    My machine started acting up again after several months. Last night turned it on no boot, etc etc. Tried new bios 1.5, reset CMOS to optimized defaults. Machine booted OK.. Turned machine on today no boot. turned it off turned it back on started right up. Reset HTT to 4x and I guess we will se. Has anyone come up with a fix for th is or is MSI even admitting it's a problem?

  • Cold boot problem

    ok, first of all, I am a newbie on everything...
    Anyway; I boughty this PC from a shop in France and it was working VERY WELL untill I updated the BIOS to 2.1 from 2.0 with the MSI LIVE stuff.
    it is still working but i cant cold-boot it--->just hangs on everything from "Early chipset initialization" to "initializing video interface" (can't get any further...) BUT when i press the little restart button, everything works just fine.
    I don't get it, I didn't change the BIOS settings or anything, I've tried to clear that little CMOS JBAT1 jumper but no, it doesn't want to boot.
    I've heard about power shortages too but i'm too afraid to touch it
     I guess you'll ask me the integrated sub-derivation code of the 65d4fs641sd56g41sg654dg-memory, please indicate how i check what you ask for and THANK YOU for even reading this

    Alexfance will not be able to set or check if the DDR volts were/are at least 2.65V because he is unable to past POST and get into BIOS.
    This is not an uncommon cercumstance, mostly it is fixed by reseting  CMOS.     Remember to go into BIOS and check all settings as you will have just reset them to default.  
    If that does not work then get some PC2100 or PC2700 memory, plug in, reset CMOS boot and increase the DDR volts by one increment, replace memory with original, intereate this process until you get POST successful or DDRVolts gets into red range.    At that stage think about RMAing.
