X58 Platnium SLI bios and ram issues

I successfully updated the bios from v3.0 to v3.1 using the MSI HQ USB BIOS Flash Tool/Utility. Greenpower confirmed it.
Unfortunately, the QPI frequency dropped from 6.4GT to 4.8GT. Using the 3.0 bios I was able to change the QPI frequency between AUTO, 4.8GT and 6.4GT. Now using bios v3.1, I can only change between AUTO and 4.8GT.
Has anyone else experienced this?
My other problem is that my Memory is running at PC3 - 8500 (1066Mhz) instead of PC3-10666 (1333MHz)
I have 3 - 1GB sticks of RAM in triple channel mode. The specs on the ram are in the link below.

Mechsner,
I changed the base clock in the Cell Menu from 133 to 167 and my RAM speed dropped from 1066 to 1002 after I restarted. Can you explain this?

Just flashed my Platinum with it, seems ok so far, will try and push it a bit the next couple days to see if it clocks any better than 3.4...
Did you flash for any specific reason like to fix a problem, or just because it was the latest?

Kernel Panic and RAM issues

about a week ago I got my first ever kernel panic . This coincided with the mac completely running out of battery due to being on a holiday. Sometimes I can get on without an issue for a while until it shuts down and either tells me there is a kernel panic or it does the three beep black screen. From what I have researched its a ram issue. from memory I have 2x2gb rams installed but it may be 4gb I'm not 100% sure and I cant get on to check. I'm pretty sure its not a software issue as I have booted up on several occasions and deleted things such as Sophos. I'm out of warranty so its up to me to get this show back on the road. My questions:
If I can startup the computer and have it running for a while before it dies and says is a kernel panic, is it unlikely its a software related issue?
Is there any possible way of testing for dodgy rams without physically removing one at a time and seeing what happens?
Is there anything else it could be?
Can rams cause kernel panics, if so do the panic reports reflect this?
cheers

Try to get your MBP functioning. Perform SMC and PRAM resets:

In order to get sufficient loops, run it overnight.
Running a MBP till the battery is exhausted is a very bad practice.

P7N Sli Platinium and E8400 issue

Hello,
I just built a new config :
P7N SLI Platinium
E8400 (SLB9J)
DDR 2 1Go*2 Kensington
Nvidia 9600 GT
HDD SATA Seagate
And here is what i get :
A7380NMS V1.1 022508
Intel Core 2 CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz, Speed 333x9=2997 MHz
DRAM Frequency For DDR2 800 (Dual-Channel)
Initializing USB Controllers ... Done.
2048 MB OK
Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu, F11 to enter boot menu
And that's all !!
Can't go further, i tried every slot of ram, they all works, i removed everything, no solution...
I read here and there that it might be a Bios Firmware problem, but is that correct, because i've got no other 775 CPU to boot...
Thanks for your help!

And last thing, i guess it will work also if i flash with the 1.3 version ? Is there any intrest ?
Yes go for 1.3 it should works.

Or maybe it's possible to flash from a usb key directly from the bios ?
No, but you can do your USB key bootable and proceed with BIOS update.
Prepare the USB key in another mainboard.

FCP After Effects and RAM Issues

Hello,
Recently I have been working on a 1280x720 video project using both FCP 7 and After Effects CS6. I have an early 2011 MBP running 10.6.8 (I'm not a fan of Lion). It's a 2.2 GHZ Intel Core i7. I have been having significant lagging issues with playing back videos in AE and eeven more significant playing them in the timeline of FCP. It has made editing a royal pain. Exports also take a long time.
I had 8GB of RAM but last night, expanded to 16GB. Since then, I have noticed no increase in speed at all. Not opening programs. Not opening files, not exporting files, and not playing back in either program. Maybe I am misunderstood as to what the RAM was supposed to accomplish?
My question is, what can I do to fix this? Do I need a new Hard Drive? Was the RAM upgrade a waste of money. Maybe someone has some suggested settings for Memory and Cache for the two programs?
Thanks in advance for any help
Chris

Chris:
To open an application faster, install a faster hard drive. If you go with an SSD drive, you should notice a huge improvement in how quickly your applications launch. If you just upgrade from a 4,800 RPM or 5,400 RPM drive to a 7,200 RPM drive, then you'll see a modest increase in launch time.
To export files faster from AE, you'll want faster processors (assuming you had enough RAM in the first place). AE tells you at the bottom of the application window how much RAM is being used. While you had 8GB of RAM, you might have seen 42% being used. Increasing your RAM to 16GB would only reduce that percentage to 21%. It would not speed up the render. A faster hard drive can help as well, but not as much as faster processors. Switching from a USB2 thumb drive to your internal drive would boost render speeds. Even if you were working at 1920x1080, it's unlikely that you'd need more than 4GB of RAM. If you happend ot be working at really large Composition sizes or have artwork that is really large (like 18MB still images), AE will tell you exaclty how much more RAM you need when it displays an "insuficient memory" dialog box. If that was happening, then you'd want more RAM.
To "speed up" the playback of video, you need storage media that can maintain the sustained data transfer rate of the file being played. (Unfortunately, more RAM doesn't help for this.) 1280x720 rendered to the Animation codec at best quality and at 8 bits per channel requires 3.5Mb per frame (not including audio). At 30 frames per second, you're looking at 105Mb/second. eSATA was recommended earlier and that's a good option; however, you mentioned that you have a 2011 MacBook Pro. As such, you probably have a Thundebolt port. An external Thunderbolt drive should be able to maintain 105Mb/second with overhead to spare. If you have to use your interal drive, switch from the Animation codec to Apple ProRes 422 or Apple ProRes 422 LT. You'll see a good reduction in storage space requirements and your internal drive should be able to maintain the data rate required of APR 422 and APR 422 LT. If you need to have Animation versions of your renders, use Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder to convert the rendered Animation movie to a H264 file and then play that when you need to view the video. Also, _always_ be mindful of how full your drive is. The closer the drive gets to being over 85% to 90% of its maximum capacity, the more likely data transfer rates are going to drop (that is, the drive will not perform as fast as it would have otherwise). If you happen to have upgraded to a hybrid drive or SSD drive, you probably won't have to worry about reaching drive capacity (other than worrying about setting overlfow volumes in AE). You can throw the fastest processor available and the most RAM available at a high data transfer rate movie, but if the storage media isn't fast enough then the storage media isn't fast enough.
Regardless of your OS (32bit vs. 64bit; 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.6 or 10.8), all of the above factors apply.
I'm curious, do you really hope that I choke?

New PowerBook AirPort and RAM issue

Sorry to re-post but thought others could benefit from this being up top here ...
I have a new 17", but have a big red flag for people.
I couldn't get the extra RAM (over 512MB) from the Apple Store where I bought it Saturday, so I ordered it online from Apple and installed it last night. Easy! Then, PROBLEMS!
After about 20 minutes online, suddenly the cursor's skittering around, CPU spikes to 100% and stays there (kernel_task, owned by root, takes over), and AirPort drops. Can't find any networks, and stays offline. Only known fix is a reboot.
I checked MacFaxIt and see these exact symptoms are an issue, supposedly acknowledged as a bug by Apple, with mid-2005 iBooks. I guess you can add late-2005 PowerBooks to that list.
Looks like the key is to keep RAM usage under 1GB, which is not necessarily easy to do (and goes without saying, should not be something you need to manage). For example, loading a lot of tabs automatically in Safari kills AirPort pretty consistently. Loading a lot of widgets does the same.
I'm walking on eggshells with this PowerBook, constantly checking CPU usage and AirPort connectivity, NOT something I want to have to be thinking of.
So be careful adding RAM. My last PowerBook (very last gen) had 1.5 GB and NO PROBLEM.
I don't know of any timeline for a fix, and am more than a little upset that (1) the problem exists on a $3,000 machine, (2) Apple has known about it since late summer, and gladly sells you the RAM (caveat emptor), and (3) the in-your-face that the PB and iBook are probbbbbably kinda sorta the same, under the hood! So I'm telling myself that yes, it's a SOFTWARE problem with OS X, the extra RAM, and AirPort. Works for me ...

I MAY have a potential solution.
I had the same problem as others, bought the Powerbook with 1 GB Apple memory and then I added another 1 Gig of Kingston brand memory. Almost immediate problems and after a reboot, the problems would come back in 5 minutes or less.
I called Apple and they refused to even acknowledge that it was a known issue.
OTOH, the tech had me remove the new 1 GB memory stick and of course the Airport card worked perfectly after that.
Anyway, when I put the memory card back in, I seated it quite firmly before I "folded" it down into the latches.
Bottom line is that Airport has now been working for over 4 hours with no problems.
Can anyone else who is having the problem please try this & post the results. If the solution is this simple, it would be a wonderful thing.
The System Profiler showed that the memory was there before I reseated it, so if it is just a bad card install, System Profiler does not pick it up.

6465b - Bios and ssd issue. Intel 520 not recognized by BIOS.

Hi,
I am writing with 2 issues.
First, BIOS issue.
BIOS F.20 for 6465b and 6565b is no longer available. The current version on HP support page is BIOS F.03. Anybody know why it was changed?
When will be released F.22 which should enable support for SATA III, as F.22 for 6x60b notebook?
Second, ssd issue, which I believe is connected with Bios.
I've bought Intel 520 120gb SSD and it is not recognized by BIOS. When I put it as primary hard drive and turn notebook on,i go 5 blink of caps + num lock, and al stuck.
I can't install system. But ssd works when in external eSATA enclosure. So it isn't ssd related problem.
I know for sure that 320, m4 are perfectly working on 6465b. Other SF drives, Force GT and Agility 3, too.
What is wrong with 520, and how it can be resolved. I think only new BIOs, unfortunately.

I can confirm that an Intel 520 SSD in combination with an HP 6465b is an issue.. The CAPS + Scroll blink 5 times while in POST. This indicates a general mainboard issue, but I am 100% sure that there is an incompatibility between the two
I have installed BIOS F.21 and the firmware of the Intel SSD is standard (errrr 300i if I'm not mistaken).
Right now the laptop is useless (it has to have a SSD drive for our developer-dudes) so I'm hoping HP will release F.22 soon.. Where did you find that F.22 will add support for SATAIII?
Stupid thing is, when I put the drive in a really old beast (HP nx7400) the SSD works without hickups.

Msi x79a-gd65 8d BSOD and Ram issue, Code 67

Hi,
Specs as follows:
Mobo: msi x79a-gd65 8d (Bios: latest 4.4)
CPU: 3960x
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair dominator platinum 1866MHZ (CMD16GX3M2A1866C10)
PSU: CM 1000watt
GPU: EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4GB
Mobo came back from MSI and they said there were bend pins, they fixed the bent pins. However the mobo still BSODs on stock settings and does not want to boot with 2x8Gb. It only boots with 1 stick.
I also get the code 67.
The mobo is only stable when I enable OC genie and run 1 ram module
Please help, thanks in advance!

>>Clear CMOS<< and retry. If no help try the second stick in any mem slot and see if it boots in any while other stick is installed too. If not try each stick individually to check if both are working.

MS 6178 ver 1.1 bios and USB issue (TINY PC)

Can someboady help me please, I am rebuilding a PC for the neighbours , it is a TINY Pc ( Tiny have gone bust ) I have filled the motherboard with 512 MB and a nice 60GB IBM diskinstalled XP Pro sp2 all working. I have a problem with the usb on board not supporting printing.
I cant flash the bios as the original bios is an AMI and the download on the MSI Web site 6178v21.zip ( bios ver 2.1) is an award , when trying to flash the pc just seems to HANG.
I have issues on USB , and am hoping that the bios( current v 1.3 ) upgrade to 2.1 will at least help somewhere.
I just wonder whether because its a Tiny pc and must be an oem board , whether there is something differengt that is stopping it working?
Any help would be appreciated.

Iam using XP pro Sp2 , i guess its an old board and there will be some incompatibilities , i cant get the existing modem working. Oh well will have to keep on tyring thanks for your help

P67A-GD65 New Bios and RAID issues

Hello all,
Last week I decided to reinstall my whole OS from scratch. Before doing so I updated the BIOS to the latest 4.3 version - I was experiencing some issues which may have been HW related and I thought I wanted to try the latest BIOS.
I now have a weird problem. When I shutdown the PC I can heard my RAID HDDs being turned off one by one, but before the last one is being shut down the PC reboots. Then the RAID BIOS screen takes ages to appear and I can hear my HDDs being turned on one by one - slowly.
If I then shutdown the system again, all is good.
The other day the RAID BIOS was showing one of the RAID HDDs being NOT part of the RAID - hence it marked the array as Degraded. The array rebuilt correctly and it's not ok.
I know that my HDDs are possibly not perfect - but if analysed they do not show any obvious issue - but I was not having this problem before.
Any suggestions? It would be also nice to know WHICH HDD failed, and maybe I could try replacing it! Is there a log somewhere that tells me what's happening?
Thanks

Hi there,
What RAID mode are you useing (0, 1, 10,...)?
When you go into RAID BIOS/setup, dosent it show the SATA ports for all your HDD's to see wich failed(if its "fixed" then its maybe toolate for this one)
Here is link for BETA BIOSses
After last full relise you see fix Quote

N73 and RAM issues. still....HELP!

So i've been on here a while. Read a lot of different posts, help where i can. Now i really hope someone with expertise can help me out.
My N73 is using up all it's RAM, again! I'm getting those messages about 'Memory Low. Delete some Data". It's even getting to the point where i can't receive emails or texts because my memory is then FULL!
Let me state some things first:
1. I have the latest FW.
2. I have all my texts/contacts/music etc on my Memory card, nothing is on my phone memory.
3. I regularly close out my apps by selecting Options and Exit. I even hold down the menu button and close any apps that show up there too.
Now i was using the Internet alot over the weekend and charging the phone regularly, but leaving it on. I had heard that this doesn't Reboot the phone. So i've turned it off, taken out the battery, let it charge off and on, lots of different options.
I use Opera 4 as my browser and have deleted the Cookies and cleared the History, which is think is Opera's 'Cache'.
I'm really fed up now. I haven't heard of any other 'fixes'. Please, any ideas???
cs.

I reformat my windows once in a 6-8 months. I used to do that too on my buggy N91, but its 8GB version does not give me much of that pain yet I reformat its C drive once in a month.
So far I am not interested in storing messages.
Here is what I do to avoid using PC Suit (just in my case).
Go to contatcs, mark them all. Choose the option copy to hard disk in OTHERS folder.Copy them all.
Then I copy them to my PC using mass storage mode.Next time I Hard reset the phone, I just have to copy the contacts from HDD.
In case of reformat the HDD, as I told before I switch my phone to USB mode and then just copy the contacts folder stored on my PC and then the reverse thing.
I love hard reset.

P6N SLI PLatinum and RAM

Hello folks!
I want to know that will the RAM sticks (that operate at 1.9v) work on this Motherboard?
And do all DDR2-800 RAM Sticks operate at 2.1v level? And can these sticks also run on this Motherbaord?

This RAM boots at 1.9 on the P6N and is spec to run up to 2.1v, 800mHz. I've pushed mine a bit faster without any more voltage. Runs cool too, but I do have nice airflow over the DIMMs.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227139
I'm almost sickened by the price with that rebate, considering I shelled out almost 2 bills for it, but certainly no regrets. Very fast.

BIOS and Virtualization Issues - GE60-0ND

After extensive searching through this forum, and googling in general, I have been unable to identify any solid answer. So here's the background:
I purchased the MSI GE60 0ND-042U over a year ago. Upon receipt, I immediately swapped out the hard disk for a SSD, and loaded a clean install of Windows 8 on it. Everything worked out just fine.
Now, I'm trying to run Windows Phone emulators in Visual Studio Express, which requires Hyper-V virtualization. Hyper-V will not enable within Win8's "Programs and Features" menu. Running "systeminfo.exe" from a command prompt yields the following:
"Virtualization Enabled in Firmware: No"
At which point I'm directed to enable said features in the BIOS. The related options for virtualization in the BIOS are nowhere to be found. Further searching recommends updating the BIOS.
My current BIOS information is as follows:
Per "systeminfo.exe": American Megatrends Inc. E16GAIMS.108 5/2/2012
Per MSI Live Update 6: MS-16GAE 1.80
MSI's support page for my product has two BIOS updates, one for Win7 and one for Win8. Neither of them match what I currently have. Additional searching through this forum yields more confusion - I've learned that I should NOT update to the Win8 BIOS, since my notebook was packaged with Win7. I've learned that I should NOT update to the Win7 BIOS, since my notebook is currently running Win8.
Would a BIOS unlock help? Am I SOL?
As you might have guessed by now, I'm not familiar with BIOS updating, and have no experience with it. To those who can help, I appreciate your time, and look forward to your response!

Update your BIOS to the latest version .10F for your NB:
