X60 factory and recommended BIOS settings?

Service guy changed some BIOS settings from factory default said it saves some energy and reduces CPU heat. My system overheated, previous service forgot to clean the inside, congratulations.
So my question is what are recommended BIOS settings for the X60, recommended changes from default? Service guy forgot to tell me what he changed so if I reset I can't get back to the settings he implemented.
So preferably I would need the original settings printed, too, so I can compare it with the changes.

Thanks for the reply.
The BIOS shows the modules are running at 1333.
The Weird thing is I had many BSOD problems before I changed the voltage and on SevenForums I was advised to run Run Memtest86+.
I runned Memtest86+ run a few times for over 8 hours and it showed no errors at all.
I will make the screenshots asap when I get home tonoght. Below are my system specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-860 2899 1156
Motherboard: MSI P55-GD65
Memory: 4GB (2 * 2GB): OCZ Platinum Low Voltage OCZ3P1333LV4GK

K8T Neo FISR2 and Initial BIOS settings

I’ve have a YANQ… (Yet Another Newbie Question)
Are there any recommendations for initial BIOS settings for a new build? I checked southmike’s “My Unofficial K8t Neo Guide” and searched posts. I realize that many settings are based on Memory Configuration, OCing, personal preferences, etc. But what I’m wondering if there is a basic configuration that has shown to be a good starting point for first time bring up?
I have not received my board yet, so if this is covered in the manual, sorry for wasting the space
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
Apart from the Boot Sequence and the SATA / IDE settings you want, the best thing is run at safe defaults, and everything on auto, the mobo is good at selecting the best settings for good performance. And will probably perform better than if you try to tamper.
There is a lot of things to help you DOT, Core Center, etc.

MOVED: K8T and OC bios settings

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=106486.0

Hello,
OC via chipset is not recommended. also there is no option to lock AGP freq. increasing CPU HTT can become danger task. suggest you to try with Clockgen 1st and see how agp freq. react on the htt increment.
HT can be controlled via BIOS:
Advanced Chipset Features----> LDT & PCI Bus Control---> LDT Bus Frequency, apply manual value, where:
1Ghz --> x5
800Mhz ---> x4
600Mhz ---> x3
400Mhz ---> x2
200Mhz ---> x1

How to install Windows 7 in UEFI modeand what bios settings for D30

How do you install windows 7 in UEFI mode and what bios settings do I need to install it on a D30 workstation.

Not a ThinkStation guy, but FWIW, that can happen when installing Win 7 in UEFI mode when CSM support is not enabled in BIOS.
Is CSM support - either explicit or by selecting "other OS" and turning UEFI back on as suggested above - an option?

I am trying to install 1 SATA harddisk + 2 IDE harddisk and a DVD Writer on my MSI 865PE NEO2-PLS. I have tried playing around with the BIOS but this does not seems to work. Can anyone advise on the possibility and the BIOS settings?
Thanks.

Until you get Windows installed, only hook up the drive you plan on running windows on.
Since you have 3 PATA devices you have to use Native mode. The Native settings given by NovJoe are for booting from a PATA drive. If you decided to use the SATA drive, change SATA only to PATA only and make sure both PATA Keep Enabled and SATA Keep Enabled are set to Yes

DKA790GX Platinum no VGA Bios Settings

Hi,
I recently acquired the DKA790GX Platinum motherboard together with the 9950BE processor. I am also running the system with the Powercolor 3870x2. I do not see the onboard vga settings in the bios as perscribed in the manual.
Would like to check if the settings only appear when there is no external graphics card connected to the board? The onboard graphics is also not detected in Windows Vista.
I am running on bios version 1.2.
Please advise.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
I removed the 3870x2 and the bios settings for onboard graphics becomes present. After I reconnected the board, the vga settings are no longer available.
Hence, I'm wondering if this is by design? I do not need the onboard graphics but I'm just curious as to whether this is normal behaviour for the board or do I have a lemon.
I read somewhere that if we want to use both a discrete card and the integrated graphics, the discrete video card must be a 34xx series card. I installed an MSI ATI 3450 and my bios shows both + side port.

In Depth guide to BIOS settings. and Mouse/UEFI woes

I'm wondering if there is any on-line in-depth guides to the BIOS settings. I have a P67A-GD65 B3 and the documentation is pitiful. I am not interested at this point in overclocking, but I do want to optimize BIOS to get maximum performance and boot times. I want to disable any unnecessary items (such as 1394 support and Marvel SATA controller) and disable all that green energy stuff.
Also, I just flashed my UEFI from a V1B to V1E, and now, my mouse in BIOS is worthless. It jumps all over the screen and all settings need to be made with the keyboard. My mouse is just a Microsoft Natural wireless laser. It worked fine in V1B.
My Specs are:
CPU: i7-2600K
RAM: 8Gb Corsair
Video: GeForce GTX 560 Ti

A search of the net may point to some. Flash back to v1.B unless v1.E addressed a specific reason for flashing in the first place. Recommend to contact MSI Tech Support & advise them of the issue experienced with v1.E; http://support.msi.com/

Without main battery, CMOS checksum invalid.Doesn't keep time and BIOS settings. Backup batt is OK.

Good morning all,some months ago my dv6-6159sl laptop started to have this problem: WITHOUT MAIN BATTERY (using as desktop replacement with AC adapter only, unplugging from wall outlet when I don't use it) immediatly after power on button pressed, I get black screen error" CMOS Checksum is invalid . CMOS reset (502) . " and it restarts with all BIOS settings reset and time reset at 00:00:00 year 2010... The problem appears randomly: for days I don't get it, then I get it once, twice...then everything OK for one, two, many days...and again shows up...and so on... NOTE THAT BACKUP BATTERY CR2032 HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE (for being sure) AND IS BRAND NEW, AND IS OK: A VOLTMETER SAYS 3,03 V . Tried to update BIOS to last F1.B , tried to revert back to F1.A and previous version (that is: I tried every single available BIOS on support page...)... No luck...Tried to recover BIOS with this procedure: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04126730 ... nothing changed...Tried to recover whole system...Nothing fixed... Notes: hardware hasn't changed , HDD and RAM are OK (tests done). What to do now? Call for repair? Thanks.

Bios settings, memory and random freezing

Hi all
I have a new pc setup. Problem is that it keeps freezing at random times, either playing a game or listening to music and sometimes just when I surf the net. It has even frozen IN THE BIOS!! before needing a restart!
I think that its something to do with the memory settings in the bios, any ideas on what the bios settings should be?? all components are brand new.
MSI kt6v-lsr
AMD Athlon XP 1700
512mb PC400 DDR Ram
Leadtech GeForce FX5200 128mb
1 X Maxtor 82gb SATA drive (booting from)
2 IDE CD drives attached.
500w PSU
Currently i have FSB set to 133 as any higher than that and the system wont start, the rest is set to auto.
Any help much appreciated!! CHeers!

A nice description about SPD, its used to automatically detect your ram timings.
http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/memory/Crucial_PC3200_4.html
Now PC3200 is new but some manufacturers have PC4000 ram (500mhz)
So the technology side should be ok.
The problem lies with Unbranded and cheap memory modules.
The novatech ram is unbranded and cheap .
You should have gone for a make like Kingston, the HyperX series are very good.
I would recommend the HyperX PC2700 that I am using, it is capable of running at 434Mhz so if oneday you upgrade to an XP3200+ CPU (200Mhz FSB) you can set the ram to 400Mhz and it is guaranteed to work.

How can I permanently save my customized toolbars and navigation button settings? When I run Norton Utilities CleanUp, Firefox gets reset to 'factory'.

I like to clean things out on a regular basis but when I run the Norton Clean-up utility all of my custom toolbar and navigation button settings get reset to 'factory' condition. How can I permanently save these changes to my config or preference settings?

Cookies, Completed Forms, .tmp files are all that's set to be cleared. If I can identify the appropriate elements I can protect them from deletion. Does anyone know?

PNP OS and Bios settings

I thought I was understanding the settings for the bios settings for a Windows ME and 98 series for PNP OS should be set to yes. And Windows NT series (2000, NT 4.0, 2003), should be set to no. Now my next question is this. If you have Windows XP, What should the settings be set at. It is NT based, but maybe it should be set to yes.
Opinions anyone?

The setting is there to determine if the bios will assign IRQ's or if you enable it the operating system will assign then as it see's fit the bios configures critical devices, but the operating system does the res
If a bios supports ACPI then the setting is revelant anymore windows 98 on up will use ACPI to assign IRQ's to devices so PNP OS isn't needed if the bios supports ACPI and the operating system does. I'd leave it at no though really since it isn't used much anymore you can leave it on or off.
Most boards from maybe 1999 and on up will support ACPI just in case your wondering.

P35 Neo2 BIOS Settings to run Dual Boot SATA and IDE HD's

Hi,
I was having intermittent problems with a Gigeabyte so upgraded M/B.
I have an IDE "caddy" with 2 Dual boot HD's (Linux Grub booting XP on sda1 and Fedora9 on sda2), and had no problems with either HD's on old M/B.
The old M/B also had SATA sockets which I installed a 250GB drive as my main setup. Dual boot again with same setup. I set the SATA to "auto" and it detected and ran when no IDE caddy was inserted.
Everything ran OK but I had very intermittent CRC failures that I could not isolate, so I upgrade 2 days ago.
Without inserting any IDE drives I can boot the SATA drive OK into Linux OK (it also detects an ext3 partition on a seperate /backup partition so the IDE interface works).
If I now try and boot the XP on my SATA drive, I get the dreaded blue screen.
I assume this is due to me having XP installed without the AHCI support as detailed in other (long) thread showing how to overcome this problem!?
I would also like to know if and I can just boot from my IDE drive (with no SATA's connected), because even though it seems to detect the PATA HD OK, I cannot get it to boot from either of them! I know these HD's have not changed as I have checked both of them on the SATA OS and both Logical volumes are still there and the relevant boot flags are both set.
Even though I have a bit of a complex setup, this may well be a very simple case of BIOS settings (sorry).
FYI:
I have a A7345 IMS V1.8 012408 BIOS and my two IDE drives are both dual boot with XP on the first partition.
Both Linux partitions are formatted using Logical Volume Management (LVM).
Thanks for your time
Any help/pointers would be appreciated as I am not absolutely sure that the M/B is functional or not.

Thanks for the info, I am now a bit clearer as to what is happening!
I removed known good IDE HD from caddie and put it directly on the IDE cable (after removing the old non LVM linux IDE disk that was on it).
The newly connected HD was initialized OK and I can see both SAT and IDE disks listed with F11.
On trying to boot from the IDE, it starts up and decompresses the image, BUT cannot seem to find the LVM Volume group 03 (which is where my /boot partition is located).
It then gives in and after a while, boots back to the SATA OK (where the bootloader is also inside the LVM so I can't see why the LVM IDE disk is a problem but the LVM SATA boots OK).
I do remember (late last night) trying with just IDE drive and of course it just hung because it did not have any alternative to boot!
Any other observations/suggestions?
Apologies its late here and I will not be back for a few hours!
Regards
