Vista Sleep Issues - 975X Pentium Powerup Edition

Hi
Hopefully someone can help me out with this one. I've got a 975X Pentium Powerup Edition running Bios 7.4.
I have a continual strange problem with Vista 32 bit entering sleep mode. It will enter sleep the first time and successfully start again but on the second time it freezes whilst entering sleep with the two blue lights staying on on the front panel. Then nothing will clear it except unplugging from the power socket which isn't great!
I've updated the graphics and sound drivers but these have made no difference. Is is possible it is to do with the Bios and is is worth me flashing it to the latest 7.8 version? If so how do I so that with Vista as the instructions on the MSI site don't seem to cover it.
I have checked the Bios setting and it is set to support S3 sleep.
Help appreciated as I'm stuck!
If its not the bios does anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks
Jim

Can you provide full system specs? >>Posting Guide<<

Will the system shut down if you press & hold the power button?

Vista 32 bit
Have you checked what happens if you use Windows XP? Is that a recent & up-to-date Vista installation?

975X Pentium Powerup - Added faster memory giving Windows Sleep reboot problem

Hi
Last night I replaced the memory on my computer to increase it from 2gb to 4gb. The new memory is Crucial 4GB DDR2 800. The old was 2GB DDR 667.
The clock speed is faster so I increased the speed in the BIOS to 800 for the memory. However although the computer runs perfectly and Windows Experience reports a faster score for the memory and I can see all 4Gb. When I put the computer to sleep and then wake it instead of coming back from sleep it reboots.
If I reduce memory speed in the bios back to 667 it works fine when resuming from sleep - so I can have the new faster memory in but only running at the old speed?
Any ideas?
Thanks!
James

A few questions about Memory and Power Supply for MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edit

Bought this Motherboard: MSI 975X Platinum Powerup Edition
975X Platinum V.2(7246-020)
I have a P4 CPU HT in it with 2 512mb sticks of DDR2 memory (533mhz).
I am upgrading to a Core 2 Duo 6600 CPU which has a 1066mhz FSB
What memory speed should I purchase to achieve the fastest bus speed without overclocking???
I get confused as my current memory is 533 which I guess on a Pentium 4 with HT cuts the FSB speed in 1/2 to 266mhz.
Any recommendations?
Do I need to buy Dual Channel or can I just buy 2 sticks?
Thank you
Peter

Great info again guys!
I'll stay away from OCZ (I read it's more for overclockers).
@DryHeat:
I watched your sig, great setup! I'm planning for about the same setup (MSI 975x PUE, P180, C2D, ...). But will try a Scythe Ninja for CPU cooler and use an MSI graphic card (maybe 2 cards for 4 monitors in total).
Is your setup silent or just quiet? Makes a big difference for me.
What would you change now? And what is the most noisy component?
Sorry for all the questions but I'm not an expert and by budget does not permit me from making any mistakes.
The case fans create the most noise. When they are all on "low" I an hardly hear them and have to shake the mouse to see if it's on, but on medium it sounds like a "standard" computer. Not terrible, but not quite. On high they are down-right loud.

MSI 975x Platinium PowerUp Edition - SATA2

Hey guys, I have a 250GB sata2 HDD..When I try to connect the HDD to the first 4 sata ports (violet ones), the bios read them as : IDE not SATA...Therefore im using the Jmicron port till now..
Any answers for that?and is good that way or I have to do something?
Thanks a lot...

That's why I said 'upto' as that is suppose to be the industrial standard. But if you Intel RAID two drives you will surpass that. I have a SATA II 80GB and SATA I 250GB in a RAID 0, giving me 152GB of space and getting 320 mb/s burst speed.
You will find my benchmarking for all modes SATA, AHCI and RAID on this post and make up your own mind which is the best.

MSI 975X Power Up Edition V2.1 Issue Beside Overclocking After Flash New Bios

Hi all,
I hope I can get a lot of help here. I'm having a few issues with this board. I cannot find any thread that discuss other issue beside overclocking after you flash a new bios. Here are my problem:
1. I installed fresh WindowsXP with SP2. Windows cannot detect new usb device eventhough WindowsXP recognized the usb controller. If I plugin any usb device, windows does not detect a new device. I try to stick a USB flash and I can see the light for a few seconds but Windows cannot detect it. Before I upgrade the bios to version 715 (beta), I used usb flash to upgraded it. Now, the bios is not even boot from usb flash.
2. Other things that concern me, the southbridge chipset is really really hot. If you touch it long enough, it will burn you.
3. I cannot figure it out the front audio from manual book (JAUD1). Is any of you know where the mic needs to go?
Thanks

I removed the Big Typhoon from the MB and I replace with stock fan. I want to make sure the back plate from Big Typhoon doesn't cause any problem. When I bootup the windows, I saw WindowsXP recognized the USB device but it disappeared again. I took the MB out from the case and test it without a case. It stills does not recognize the usb. Somebody mention bad PSU(Power Supply Unit) may cause a lot wierd problem. I changed PSU from RaidMax Vocalno 630W to Ultra X-Finity 500W. I don't have a lot of stuff that require power. Do you think the PSU cause this issue?
This is list of my comp:

Can't even boot with 4gb, 975x Plat PowerUP, XP Pro 3d bit

Hey all, I've had a Core 2 Duo e6600 running on a 975x Platinum PowerUP edition since august now with 2 GB of memory. I recently added an additional 2GB.
I understand that I may never actually see all 4gb of memory in Windows as I only have Windows XP Pro 32 bit, but it my OS won't even boot with the other 2 sticks in there (4gb). I get a BSOD on the loading screen. The BIOS detects all 4gb correctly. I have tried the /PAE switch and /noexecute=optin swith and neither work. I've even tried disabling PAE and putting /noexecute=alwaysoff in there and I still can't boot (you'd think that I'd be able to at least get it to boot with 3.25 or whatever GB showing up, right?). I have the current official 7.40 BIOS. Does anyone have any advice for me?
Summary: 4GB recognized by bios, Win XP Pro 32 bit won't boot BOTH with or without /PAE and /noexecute=optin(or AlwaysOff).
Conroe E6600 and 975x Plat PUP bios v 7.40
THANKS!

Run memtest with all 4 dimms installed - Since it's valueram there's a chanse those sticks are not identical. They just use the cheapest chips they can find at the time to produce valueram, so even if you buy valueram from the same make and type, but at a diffirent time, they might still use diffirent chips ...
Non-identical RAM can cause errors in a dual channel enviroment (wich your core2 is)...
Core2 64 bit performance is where it should be. Just as fast as 32 bit for normal applications and loads faster for applications wich put the extra cpu registers to use...

975X Power Up Edition + 800MHZ Ram

Greetings everyone
975X power up edition mobo, just got Corsair XMS2 6400 Ram, however the ram is not running at 6400/800mhz, but instead running at 667MHZ. I've reset my bios and still no change. Any suggestions on why this is?

It would be interesting to really verify that.
Have a look at this list as well:
http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/
Ok, Let's sum it up then
First check this thread on the OCZ forum http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25766&highlight=msi+975x+platinum+powerup+edition
Viktor92 first used OCZ Gold DDR2 800, but then he couldn't post his pc. These modules have Powerchip chips.
He then used OCZ DDR2 667, but couldn't get pasted 310Mhz FSB. These modules have Micron D9DQT (BT-3) chips, these are no longer in production
He then replace the OCZ modules with G. Skill DDR2 800 Mhz modules which have for the most part Micron D9 chips or ProMOS 6-layer PCB. He could set his FSB to 333Mhz and run it stable.
Now Mushkin PC2-6400 HP2 (2x2GB) has either Micron D9HBD (B7-37E) Brainpower PCB or Micron D9GSV (B7-3) Brainpower PCB on it.
Jack, you have Micron D9GMH (B6-3) 6-layer PCB chips, Micron D9GCT (B6-37E) (some) 6-layer PCB or Elpida AG-6E-E (before 05/2006) 6-layer PCB on your G.Skill-Kit (F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ) memory and have the FSb on 346Mhz so that type of memory works ok.
*edit: Just saw Viktor92 his post, thanks man! He has G. Skill F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK and those also have have ProMOS 6-layer PCB chips on it.*
Finally I use GEIL PC26400 Ultra modules and those have either Aeneon AET93F30D or Elpida chips on it. I can't get passed the 310Mhz FSB so these are a no go for overclockers.
So if you can reach a higher FSB than 310Mhz with the above Mushkin modules or with G. Skill modules or any other modules with Micron D9 chips or ProMOS 6-layer PCB chips on it then you could conclude that those modules are the best to go with this board. Do you agree with me?
btw, I asked some techsupport guy of OCZ to test 4GB D/C Kit PN - OCZ2G8004GK and 4GB D/C Kit PN - OCZ2P8004GK memory kits for me to see if they work stable with a FSB higher than 310Mhz.
Hopefully I will get an answer from him.

975X Platinum PowerUp compatible GFX card

Hello,
instead of upgrading the whole pc i decided to upgrade just the graphics adapter. It is when i realised, that i.e. a nvidia gtx 285 does not fit into the pci-e slot, when all the sata ports are in use (i can't remove the sata connectors, as they are all needed, so i didn't check whether the gtx285 fits in with no sata connector)
The card right now in the pc is a msi 8800gtx, which has almost the same length as the gtx285, but lacks the end of the big exit fan.
My question is, can anyone recommend a new and good grapghics adapter, that will fit into the 975X Platinum PowerUp edition, when all sata slots are in use.
Thanks:)

Have you looked into SATA connectors that connect at 90°?

Core2Quad Q6600 on MSI 975X PowerUp Edition problem

Hello. I have a problem that is bugging me for about one month.
I have this configuration with an Intel Core2Quad Q6600 on a MSI 975X PowerUp Edition mainboard, with 4G Ram memory from Kingmax (4x1G DDRII 800 MHz) <The mainboard has the latest bios version 7.7>. I am running on Windows Vista x64 OS and I always get a blue screen after a nonequal period of time. I have remarked that usually it happens when running a media file (e.g. movie, DVD, play mp3) and downloading something from the internet. If I only do one type of operation at a time nothing happens, but if I do both types in the same time... in crashes. I can't figure out what may be the problem I've ran 32 memtests (one with v1.70 and one with v3.4) on each memory on each slot (4 memories x 4 slots) and got no errors. Of course than I ran one single test with both versions of memtest with the full 4G installed and got a lot of errors only on test 8 of them (regardless of the relevancy of 4G on a memtest that is on 32bit).
I also gave a memory test from the Windows Vista x64 DVD and the system hangs at 37% for hours. I checked the HDD and has no problem.... Now I don't know what else to test anymore in order to see what may be the problem. Is it somehow a problem from the processor?, any incompatibility in the system?
I saw that when making the regular updates for windows, on one particular update the system crashes giving me the same BSOD that bugs me (note thet the system does this problem imediatly after a clean install with no updates, and after the updates are installed)
I've installed windows about 5 or 6 times on this configuration. Not once crashed or hanged during installation and in windows... in applications, never hanges or crashes into the same applications... they work just fine... only when I am using some media and downloading.... it happens at a total random time between a few minutes and even one hour. Sometimes if I am lucky I watch an entire movie while downloading and nothing happens... I just don't get it.
Ah.. and when I get BSODs it never is the same error. Or it's a memory adress (stop error 0x0029940<random at adress 0x41625753<random), or it's a win32.sys, or it's a ntfs.sys, or some other file stored in windows directory.
Please tell me what should I try? any DOS or Windows programs that may stress the CPU in order to see if it's OK please just help me somehow, any ideea will be good.
I wonder if anyone from MSI could give me a hint or at least tell me about a software they use currently in order to debug a MB problem (if t's possible to do so).
Thanks

MSI 975x Powerup Edition and ocz2p800r22gk won't boot problem

Hi Everyone,
I just recently purchased the MSI 975x Powerup Edition v2.1 mb with an e6600 and when I put in the ocz ram the system won't boot the fans startup for a couple of seconds then the system shuts down and then it starts up again. I have been reading the posts and I have updated the bios to 7.1 I also made sure the boot block was written so the whole bios was updated but it just won't boot with this ram. The only way I can make the system boot is with my old Kingmax ddr2 553 ram from my old system. The ram does work in the old system just not the new one.
Other than getting the new ram to work the system has been fine. I know some people are using ocz with the board if you can tell me how you got it to work it would be greatly appreciated.
Take care,
Bob

The problem is 100% the OCZ ram. I had a gigabyte DQ6 motherboard along with an E6600 and OCZ Platinum ram. It did exactly the same as you describe with the MSI board. The only way I got it to boot was to buy some cheap DDR2-533 ram to get it to post and then up the voltage on the ram and change the memory settings. The problem was that when put into dual channel mode or single channel and put under stress (virus scan, play music and compress a file) the system would crash.
Inevitably I returned the motherboard and the memory and got the MSI 975X with Corsair C5 memory. I am now running stably with no issues.
I'm afraid OCZ has big time compatability issues. They even stated that they can't check compatability with most motherboards on their support forum. I would stick with the real big boys of memory being Corsair and Crucial.

We need a new version of DualCore center to support the 975x PowerUp edition!

Hi,
As of know, when I start up the DualCore center, it doesn't work 100 percent. For example, I can't adjust my cpu fan speed and that application beeps about me not having connected a cpu fan. Which is not true of course.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the current version does just support the 965 platform? Well, I know there is alot of users on the 975x platform for Conroe aswell - and I would be delighted if MSI released a version which corrects this .
If I am not mistaken, I think MSI already is in the process of making one! The DualCore software hasn't showed up on the homepage of the PowerUp edition neither so ..
Best Regards,

sigssoft, 3-pin won't work with the speed control.... you must have 4-pin. I suffered this on 945G Platinum, 955X Platinum... I haven't got 975X board yet, but I'm pretty sure the design didn't change. I have 3-pin fan and no matter what I changed the PWM %, it won't change the fan speed. Then I learned about the schematics/circuits of the fan control, knowing that, OK, this is definitely HARDWARE limitation --- MUST use 4-pin to get fan control works.
What MSI said in the manual saying the certain 3-pin fan can also be supported. I truly doubt that.

975x powerup edition startup trubbels!

Hello!
The last week a strange problem has occurred on my computer. When i turn on the power (I always cut the power from a switch "outside" the computer) the PS_ON led on the chassi lights up and I cant turn the computer on. If I cut power and turn it on again two or three times the PS_ON led doesn't light up and the computer starts, boots and works fine (no lockups and so on...)!
I haven't changed any hardware settings on more than a year, and I have never had this trubble before. I wonder If it can be the PSU?
So annyone up to the challange?

Have you got another video card that you try with your current setup, alternatively try your video card in another computer.
Also try to remove the VGA and reseating it. Check all your power connections again. Try also reseating the CPU .
Your tip solved the problem (almost). A friend of mine, who is a electric engineer and lives in another city, is here to visit me and watch the Olympic games (Olympic games on TV + beer = ). He had some electronic gears in his car so we tested the old Hiper PSU. It works fine while running (max load 712 W) but about ten seconds after I shut the computer down the PSU sends a "power spike" on 13,5 V through the system.
We then disconnected the two GPU:s and grounded and demagnetised them with a device he had. After that we reinstalled them and tested. Same problem, then we put in a floppy with an old program that I once used to check which BIOS I had on my old Soltek rig. The program couldn't find any BIOS!
So I installed BIOS 7,6 and Voila! Now it works absolutely fine! (so far... :-X) Our theory is that the Spikes from the Hiper PSU "locked" the graphic cards and later somehow drained the BIOS chip/memory. It would also explain why the PS_on led was glowing before I replaced the capacitors on the Hiper PSU.
I gonna test the system during the evening and will be back with a (hopefully) positive report!
Cheers!
