Timing setting in BIOS for Corsair DDR3 on P35D3?

I'm having problems getting my new P35D3 MS-7356 to boot correctly (see symptoms below).
MSI tech wrote: "...contact manufacture of ram for possible timing setting recommendation in bios."
I have (1) 1024MB stick of Corsair DDR3 1066MHz PC8500 Dual Channel kit, TWIN3x2048-1066C7 G Memory Retail in the #1 & and another in the #3 slot .
The BIOS is version 1.1.0.L53.
I have no experience overclocking. I've been trying to boot using the "Load Optimize Default."
Anyone know what timing setting I should be using that the tech is talking about?
Description of the problem:
Installed MOBO and
graphics card
one HDD
two MB memory
1 USB keyboard
1 USB mouse
ViewSonic 20” LCD monitor
The HDD is powered by a SATA power cable and is plugged into the board via a SATA cable.
This is what happened with the very first boot attempt:
I plugged in the power supply cord
I turned on the power supply and the red LED light on the board comes on.
I press the power-on button on the front of the case and the HDD LED and power switch LED come on.
The power supply fan, the CPU Fan, and the Sys Fan1 (case exhaust fan), start running for two seconds and then stop.
After two more seconds the fans start again and the monitor displays 4 lines of info about the nVidia card and that's it. No BIOS info.
The LCD screen turns black and reverts to "No Signal".
The fans stop for 3-5 seconds and the process repeats itself indefinitely.
If I press the CMOS button I get:
4 lines of nVidia info appear and then the MSI Logo with the option to Set BIOS followed with:
CMOS setting Wrong
Date and Time setting wrong
Press F1 to run setup
Press F2 to load default values
I press F1 and enter the time and date and Optimize for Default and press Save and Windows Vista Ultimate loads. I’m able to work in Vista for as long as I wish.
Then I try to reboot and I have to go through the above steps again, in other words the BIOS does not retain the date and time.
I booted with just one stick installed and then again with the other stick in the #1 slot and, providing I do the above mentioned CMOS reset (& re enter date and time), the PC boots into Vista.
I have tried F2 "Load default values," and Vista loads but the date and time in Vista are incorrect and then my virus software won't download the latest versions.
MSI recommended swapping out the mem, HDD, PS, CPU, and graphics card, or, taking it to a local tech but none of those are realistic options from here on the Big Isle of Hawaii.
Any suggestions will sure be appreciated.
Thanks,
Kerry

Hi Del,
Re: “...battery.” I did check the Lithium batt and it’s new & fully charged. I did the same for the first board I received before I RMA’d it.
Re: “PSU.” It is an ULTRA X3 600W Energy Efficient Modular ULT40073 Power Supply. I’ve written to Ultra describing the problem, telling them that MSI thinks the problem might be their PSU (no reply yet).
Re: “BIOS for update.” The first board came with v. 1.0 installed. After getting the described boot problem I updated the BIOS to v1.1 and got the exact same results. The RMA’d board came with 1.1.0.L53 installed. MSI’s driver download page shows that this is their latest version. [As an aside. Forum members say that I’m the only one they know of who has this new MOBO. ZipZoomFly.com, the vendor, wrote, "You're the only one who's having this problem with this MOBO."
Re: “I would also not mix memory, either go dual channel or single 1Gb” I’m confused. I have CORSAIR 2048MB (2x1024MB) DDR3 1066MHz PC8500 Dual-Channel Kit One stick in the # 1 slot and one stick in the #3 slot. I was advised to test the mem by taking out the #3 stick and seeing if it would boot with just the one stick in the #1 slot. It did. I then exchanged the sticks, again leaving the #3 slot empty, and again I could boot but ...with both tests I had to do the same reset the CMOS procedure. This test was supposed to eliminate the ram as the problem. However, after reporting the results of the test to MSI they said to contact Corsair and ask their timing setting recommendation in bios." I’m awaiting a reply to my post on Corsair’s Forum.
Thanks,
Kerry

Memory timing setting at BIOS not working

hi,
Before I start, this is my PC:
Mobo: MSI X58 Pro-E
BIOS: 8.F
CPU: Intel Core I7 930 (2,8 GHz)
RAM: 2 x (OCZ3P1333LV6GK) 12 GB
Vid: Saphire HD5870 Vapor-X OC Edition
PSU: Ultra LSP750
HDD: WD 1.5 TB 32 MB Buffer 7200 RPM
Chipset: Intel X58+ICH10R
OS: Windows Ultimate 7 64 bit
My system was running ok with 3 DIMMs at 1066Mhz, but now with 12GB I am getting BSODAND and programs are crashing. I noticed that when I try to manually set the timing at BIOS advanced memory setup and reboot, I press F5 (Memory-Z) and the timings are always the same 7-7-7-16 even if I put any other timing at the BIOS menu. Maybe am I missing some other setup? How can I change that timing?

I already did that but with 1.65V at 1066 and 1333MHz. I changed in BIOS but it seems its not really working to change the timing. I try to change at BIOS to 7-7-7-24 8-8-8-24 9-9-9-30.
CPU-Z doesnt work here but I got PC wizard and these are the infos:
Memory Information :
DRAM/FSB Ratio :   8/2

Min TRC :   19 clocks @ 381MHz, 23 clocks @ 457MHz, 27 clocks @ 533MHz, 31 clocks @ 610MHz
I am running only 3 DIMMs at the moment so I can use the pc without problem.

Which BIOS for Corsair 3200XLPT??

Hi guys, is there anyone using the Corsair PC3200XLPT here, I really like to know which BIOS is the most stable with these ram?? Right now I'm using Bios 1.52 but somehow I'd always got BSOD with these ram installed, all running at SPD, but even at lower timing 2-3-7-3, these ram still gave me troubles. And now my WinXP became corrupt . . . .
Any clue please ??? or perhaps I've to rma these ram??

There is a real difference between Corsair XL and C2 memory:
http://www.corsairmicro.com/corsair/xms.html
The XL should run at 2-2-2-5 1T at stock memory frequencies and even a bit beyond. I'd set the memory to those specs and run memtest86 for an extended period to make sure the hardware was working as it should be before doing anything else. If this generates errors then you definitely have a hardware problem but it may not be your memory. See Tiresmoke's excellent sticky above.
And whatever you do, don't even thing about changing the BIOS until you have a stable hardware platform and are running XP with absolutely no major problems.

No Virtualization Enable Setting in BIOS for TS140?

There is no Virtualization Setting in the BIOS (version 48A released date 8/26/13) of the new TS140. I have installed server 2012 but not able to install Hyper-V option. Called Lenovo Tech Support but he told me that if the Intel Chipset driver is installed then Virtualization is enabled. I double checked that it has the correct software driver installed but see no possibility of enabling VTx from within server 2012 OS. I hope this message would go to the LENOVO support guru and Please let me know if the VTx enabling setting will be implemented in the future releases of the BIOS. Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Lenovo Tech Support Dale found out that the BIOS setting is under Advanced - CPU setup <enter> then Virtualization setting is in there. It works now! It was me who missed it while navigating several time into its BIOS...

Request: Latest Unlocked Bios for MSI GT70 MS-1762 | split

Hi Svet,
My laptop is iBuyPower valkyrie CZ-17 with MS-1762 motherboard (I think). Tech support said that the motherboard supports up to 1866MHz and I recently purchased Corsair Vengance 18GB (2x8) 1866MHz DDR3 amazon.com/gp/product/B009PV1ELO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Well, when I install it (both of them at the same time and individually as well with the 2 ram slots on the Mobo - also checked if it was seated properly) and the laptop turned on but the screen stayed black. After a bit of searching, I found out that the BIOS can be unlocked to allow up support up to 1866MHz. So my question is: is it possible for you to create a custom BIOS for my laptop? I will donate as requested.
Also, as for whether the RAM is actually compatible with the Mobo, I have no idea. Amazon description said that the RAm should be compatible with most DDR3 ram slot. I'm desperate now since I don't want to go through the hassle of returning the RAM since I like them so much and they are among the best ram with 1866MHz. Please advise.
Thanks

what is your current BIOS version?

After a bit of searching, I found out that the BIOS can be unlocked to allow up support up to 1866MHz.
Yes eventually, but i doubt that this will solve your issue
the ram should works with lower freq. too
unlocked bios can give you a options to customize memory timings and freq.
but this doesn't mean that can help to solve your non boot issue

[Request] Latest (or alternative) bios for R9 280X Gaming 3G

I'm having artifacts, graphical errors and crashes in games, in desktop and when watching videos, so basically all the time. I have tried 13.12 official and 13.11 beta -drivers provided by AMD and the one provided by MSI, no help there. I could try newer/older/some other bios for this card before sending RMA.
Serial number: 602-V277-38SB1401020604
Current BIOS: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/43449874/Tahiti.rom

Current setup:
CPU: 4670k
MB: Asus Z87-A
PSU: Seasonic x-560
RAM: 16GB Corsair 1600MHz 1.5V
SSD: Samsung 128GB 840 pro
I have OC'd the CPU, will try later with stock settings. I could also give a try for removing one set of RAM or setting it to 1333MHz. I can try the R9 in another computer in couple of days when a PSU for my 2nd machine arrives.
Edit: Forgot to mention, the system is completely stable with another GPUs I have tried.
Update: Removed one 8GB kit of ram, set the rest to 1333MHz. Set CPU to stock speed and voltages. Nothing changed, still artifacts.

Request for unlocked BIOS for GT70 2PC Dominator (MS-1763)

Hi there,
I was looking for a unlocked BIOS firmware for OC purposes for my laptop.
Here are the current BIOS / EC / VBIOS versions:
BIOS: E1763IMS.51B
EC: 1763EMS1 Ver5.17
VBIOS: 80.04.F7.00.06
Hopefully I can OC this bad boy soon!

received it, will work on it and will send it back to you when its done after 3-4 hours

ok cool and if there are any other basic settings that are unlockable,
as i said i will unlock everything that's possible,
what will be there and how they will works this don't depend of me
but i will unlock everything that can be done
Quote
like if there were to be settings needed to change to be able to upgrade my current GPU (gtx 870m) to a gtx 970m/980m. I have the MXM 3.0b slot, just checked it out yesterday. Not sure if there needs to be necessary bios settings for that OR a complete VBIOS flash for the new gpu.
there is no such options related to GPU upgrades
9xx should be native supported for your NB
Quote
I have heard of you making a VBIOS utility, which i would gladly pay for to do the gpu upgrade.
the tool has not connections with GPU upgrades, but modifications only.
However the 9xx models are not supported
Quote
But for now thats fine. the main thing is the RAM cause i have a 4gb + 8gb kingston that can be at 1600mhz, but AIDA64 / CPU-Z tell me they are set at 800 mhz. For my video editing, i need that clock higher most definitely.
you have some miss understanding about it
800MHz means DDR1600, ie: they are already running at rated speed
[double data rate]
oki, will work on it and will be back to you when its done after 3-4 hours
until wait check PM what to prepare
Quote from: bartwrona123 on 25-March-15, 22:15:05
Also One more thing. Ive opened up my laptop a couple of days ago and ive noticed that the two memory slots, which are placed above the hdd caddy in plain sight, have no RAM sticks in them...I've tried looking all over the MOBO if there were 2 more slots i couldn't see (Since my laptop can do upto 32GB) I assume there had to be 2 more slots with a 4gb and an 8gb, but could not find them.
Now i did not take the WHOLE laptop apart, just the bottom plastic + the heatsinks, to see what i got. only say 2 sockets for RAM though.
Is the pre-installed RAM embedded to the board? Or am I just not looking hard enough?
I'd hate for it to be embedded, since i wanted to swap out the current RAM for Corsair 2x8GB @ 1600MHz
will check about it and reply later
EDIT: It looks like the other 2 SODIMMs are on other mainboard side,
see this video:

MSI 648 Max -- AGP setting in BIOS

I had tried to install the driver for the GeForce4 MX440.
After finished the install, I reboot the computer.
When loading into WindowsXP[the black screen with a WindowsXP logo in middle], the monitor suddently turns black and changed to "power saving mode", but the computer power LED still on.
I think there are something wrong in the BIOS.
Can you tell me whether the BIOS setting is correct?
Thank you!

I haven't changed the psu........
Any other method to solve the problem?
My computer can successfully reboot and load into WindowsXP for once, when I set the refresh rate to 85Hz, it hangs. I have to reboot it to safe mode and disable the card. Then it can boot into WindowsXP.
When I reinstall the driver, the problem happen again.

I have a dual boot lab that I set up for a school. The partitions consist of Mountain Lion OSX and Windows 7 Ent. I use bootpicker software for choosing the operating system at startup. When I select the windows partition, it take just under 2 minutes from selection to the windows login screen. It seems to take incredibly long for the mac to "shut down and hand over the operating system to windows.
Do you have any suggestions on how to get this timing faster?
Thanks for any ideas/input

The only suggestion I can make is to look ar ReFind (previuosly ReFit). Startup mamangement is one of its features.
But
It is very powerful so test it for yourself before deploying it. Some of the functions are best kept out of the hands of the curious, or 'playful'
And you never answered this question.
Tell me what the needs are, do the users always need to choose Windows or is this a variable?

Custom BIOS for GT60-ONC

Hi, is it possible to have an unlocked BIOS for GT60 ONC that allow CPU and DRAM tuning ?
Basically I would a BIOS that allow the same things that on desktop motherboard, dram timing, frequency adjustment, CPU frequency and things like vt-x or hyper-threading activation.
Also is there some features that can be tuned on the VGA card from BIOS ?
I read on a post that you have a custom EC that handle better fans, is it possible to have it also ?
Right now I have :
EC : 16F3EMS1_T16
BIOS : E16F3IMS.10U

Quote
Also is there some features that can be tuned on the VGA card from BIOS ?
only for onboard GPU, not for dedicated/discrete nvidia card.

Hi, is it possible to have an unlocked BIOS for GT60 ONC
yes its possible to be unlocked, about all new unlocked options how they and will they work do not depend of me.
can be done also add on intel storage fw update

yes its possible, but you need to be more detailed of your target descriptions

Z68 WIN 7 will not boot after setting drive BIOS from IDE to SATA

MSI Z68MA-ED55 (B3) Motherboard
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS
SATA III Solid State Drive with greater than 500 MB/s throughput
After installing WIN7 and all my Applications programs I noticed in the BIOS that the driver for the SSD did not properly set to fully support the SSD but remained in the IDE mode.
This computer was built for technical graphics work and not for child's play. So I don't want to have to reinstall all the applications software for work with all its required protection features from theft.
QUESTIONS:
1. With this high transfer rate SSD, is it worth the performance improvement to reset the BIOS from the IDE driver to the proper driver?
2. If so, how can I set the BIOS to the correct driver without reinstalling everything?
3. At some level of the installation the system should have sensed the SSD SATA III and changed the driver from IDE. Where should this take place?

Hi,
I had the same problem. You need to put it back to IDE, boot to Windows then follow the below instructions and it works fine. (Courtesy of Guru3D)
Enable AHCI
The last tip we want to give you to gain a little extra performance boost is that you enable AHCI mode. AHCI mode can help out greatly in performance for SSDs. Now, if you swap out an HDD for an SSD with the operating system cloned and THEN enable AHCI in the BIOS, then you'll likely get a boot error / BSOD.
The common question is, is there a solution for this ?
To answer that question (and as we do safely with all modern chipsets) there is a way to safely enable AHCI mode. Here we go:
1. Startup "Regedit"
2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / SYSTEM / CurrentControlset / Services
3. Open msahci
4. In the right field left click on "start" and go to Modify
5. In the value Data field enter "0" and click "ok"
6. exit "Regedit"
7. Reboot Rig and enter BIOS (typically hold "Delete" key while Booting)
In your BIOS select "Integrated Peripherals" and OnChip PATA/SATA Devices. Now change SATA Mode from IDE to AHCI.
You now boot into windows 7 or Vista, and the OS will recognize AHCI and install the devices. Now the system needs one more reboot and voilla ... enjoy the improved SSD performance.

How to flash bios for aspire 5745 when you have a black screen

I attempted to update my bios for my Acer Aspire 5745 notebook and chose the wrong file. The computer is giving me a black screen now. When I push the start button the lights come on the fan blows and thats all. I found a few sits on line giving me the procedure to flash an aspire one system. Here is the steps I took to do so to no avail. 1. When to the acer site and put the SNID number to my laptop to pull up my suggested downloads for my system. 2. I downloaded the file to my working computer. 3. I extracted the file and opened the file that said DOS. 4. I renamed the file zg5ia32.fd 5. checked my flash drive to make sure it is set to ( FAT ). 6. Transfered the file to the flash drive. 7. Pluged in the flash drive to my dead laptop while it was pluged into a powersorce. 8. Held down the FN and ESC buttons while pushing the power buttons. 9. Released the FN and ESC buttons when I noticed the power light blinking and the flash drive light up. 10. Waited for over 15 min. but had no success. If anyone could tell me what I may have done wrong I would be much appriciated. I also opened up the backside to the laptop and removed the little battery that was plugged it with a small white connector assuming it was the cmos battery but still nothing happended.

I was never able to properly flash my bios. I had wondered if when I tried to update it I may have destroyed my bios in the process. Anyways I had purchased a motherboard for I think around 50.00 on ebay. It was used but was complete. All I had to do was take out the old motherboard and replace with the other one. It all came on after that with a new knowledge of not fix something that is not broken.

New Bios for K7T266 Pro2-RU

Hi All,
Are there any new bios' for the K7T266 PRO2-RU (i.e., above 3.7), that will support the AMD 2200+, 2400+ Processors once the Modification is done?
Thanks.
Craig

Hi,
The K7T266pro2 (MS-6380 V2.0) needs the modification to support all the latest 266FSB (TBred) CPU's because there is a timing change, removing the capicitor solves this and allows you to get the CPU starting.
MSI's official statement is that they don't support this as the board is long out of production.
However, they where nice enough to give us the modification in order to give you the posibility to get it running.
They're plan was to stop releasing BIOS'ses at v3.60 because there was no need to release another.
I convinced them to release 3.70 that has updated CPU-ID code for all 266FSB CPU's, and no again, they still don't support any CPU over the fastest Palomino officialy.
What they did was giving us the posibility to use an outdated board a bit longer, be happy about that.
As for the testing of CPU's on this board, that stopped at BIOS 3.50...
Any given board will fade away at some point in time, thanks to MSI (unofficialy), the K7T266pro2 with the modification can be used a bit longer......
All you need for the right multiplier is leave it at auto....as the correct one is hardcoded on the CPU itself...

Setting portrange directive for FTP

A few weeks ago I posted a question about FTP file listings timing out and got an excellent response from Camelot advising that I create a set of ports for passive FTP connection. This is done using the portrange directive in /etc/ftpd.conf. My Terminal skills are somewhat limited and I was unable to find the portrange directive. I am, however, good at following specific directions in the Terminal and would appreciate someone (Camelot?) detailing the commands to accomplish getting into and setting the portrange directive in /etc/ftpd.conf.
Thanks!
Xserve Mac OS X (10.4.9)

> My Terminal skills are somewhat limited and I was unable to find the portrange directive
That's not (necessarily) your terminal skills. By default there is no portrange directive in /etc/ftpd.conf - off hand I can't even remember if there is a ftpd.conf file at all. The issue is that if the file isn't there, or if a certain directive isn't in it, then ftpd uses the defaults - in this case any port number can be used.
You only need to add/edit the portrange directive if you want to use something other than the default.
So all you need to do is edit /etc/ftpd.conf using your favorite text editor to edit /etc/ftpd.conf and add a line:
<pre class=command>portrange all 60000 60010</pre>
to limit all connections to ports 60000 through 60010.
If you need specifics on driving a command line text editor, post back.
