Z68A-GD80 B3 Random cold boot issues

No mater if system is set to optimized defaults or Overclocked I randomly get odd boot behavior ranging from slow boots to no boots
Symptoms:
delays at post on blank screen with exception of "A2" and or "B3" displayed in the bottom right hand side of the screen.
Generally after stops looking for a floppy to boot to, which makes no sense at all there is not even a floppy header or bios option to disable.
I can have three days in a row with no boot issues at all.
Note: PC and all peripherals are connected to My Tripp Lite 1200w UPS which is connected to a dedicated 20 amp circuit with hospital grade receptacle.
I have the board speaker attached to the board to broadcast the beep codes.
When a good boot happens I hear three beeps and a final short beep all in fairly quick succession.
During a failed post the beeps come slower with a greater duration between beeps and one less beep
Sometimes it sounds like 5 beeps in total but that is with a good post 4 quick beeps and a final marginally longer beep.
Since their is no post code display with this board I'm left with wondering what these beeps mean on the Z68 boards.
Also of note the Corsair H70 CPU cooler I have attached to the mobo CPU header for the pump and the Mobo fan 2 header for the H70 fans, so I can monitor the RPMs start very slowly not unlike a jet turbine begins slowly and gradually builds momentum. I only mention this because it does not act this way on other boards I have tried the cooler. Especially when bios setting were set properly which bring me to what I have tried to resolve the situation.
I've been able to stabilize the board with OC genie and manually at 4.8, 4.7, and 4.6 MHz with 1600 and 1866 memory speeds. To be clear I consider, 20 pass max mem of LinX, 10 hrs prime 95 w/o error and 200% coverage HCI design Memtest (two instances "usable" and "all remaining") with no errors stable.
Further more I've been able to stabilize Turbo Boost at x49 1core, x48 2cores, x47 3cores and x46 4cores with little more than a Vcore adjustment away from default settings.
The issue remains intermittent cold boot issues.
I haven't had a system pass these test and have cold boot issues since the NF2 days.
What I've tried:
bumping Vcore way past minimum required to boot to any given clock down to 4.2 (1.2v)
bumping CPU I/O same as above
running at default
running at default with XMP
running default manually set RAM timings and volts
running with the above with EuP 2013 disabled
Smart Fan disabled and enabled
disable a boot devices except actual boot drive
tried two different Corsair 850 watt PSU.
Questions:
What are the beep codes for this board?
When will we see a bios update to fix the multiple UEFI interface problems and possibly this issue as well?
I thought I bought an enthusiast motherboard yet RPMs from motherboard fan headers are only monitored 1&2 headers.
I use Aida64 Extreme to monitor temps and voltages but conspicuously missing are things like VTT, SA and PLL voltages and the temps for same.
Is this normal?
are they lacking sensors on this board?
or do I have a defective board?
Final Q
When Aida64 is running CPUz current an previous version will not run on this board. I have spoken to the developer of CPUz Franck and Aida and for the moment it seems to be related to this board only but the failure is consistent even after format and reload. CPUz and Aida64 are known to work/coexist on similar Z68 boards. So my question is, Is this a known issue for this board?
Amendment to the system specs below
I have two opt drives attached to the SataIII (white) headers in AHCI mode the Blue Ray drive is not discoverable in IDE mode. Blue Sata ports 3,4 are configured in a Raid-0 array and 5 & 6 have WD 640 Caviar Blk drives respectively port 7 is empty.

My apologies for posting this in the wrong section. Can a mod move it to the appropriate forum. TY

Quicksilver G4 randomly cold boots...

Does anyone know why my DP 1ghz quicksilver might be randomly cold booting in the mornings (between 6 and 8 PST). It's really begining to freak me out.

Do you have a schedule set in the Energy Saver control panel to start the computer at that time?

MOVED: P6N Sli Plat. weird cold boot issue

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=116740.0

yeah well if I set the timing to like 5-5-5-15 or something I'm sure it'll work fine. But that's not the point... Cuz if I have to set my timings to 5-5-5-15 just to get it up to the 889mhz that I need it. I might as well just run the run in async mode at 4-4-4-12 800mhz.
Seriously I have the weirdest ram. I can run it at 4-4-4-12 800mhz with like 2.0 volts. So There's like 0.2 volts of overclocking there. But it just won't work at 889mhz. And it not like it doesn't pass memtest or orthos. The weird part is that it passes both at 889mhz at 4-4-4-12 timings at 889mhz. The problem is that it won't start cold boot. I'll have to press the power button and then press the reset button to get it to boot. I guess that's not a really big problem, but having to press that reset button each time I cold boot is just really annoying.
If I set them to 4-4-4-12 at 800mhz, the computer turns on fine.
I think the problem is the precharge for the ram. I'll bet loosening the timing will make it work, but I just don't want to loosen those timings...
I just bought new ram so we'll see if that solved my problems. :-P
It might be the electron migration thing though. I hear electron migration damage to things show up as random unpredictable problems.
I would say my problems are random and unpredictable.
By the way, I just got a couple of fans for the ran slots. They're sort of just jammed in there. Kind of not elegant really. But I now have TEN fans in the computer. I hope that helps my ram overclocking.

MSI Z68A-GD80(B3) random freeze problems

Hi,
This newbie around here has a problem:
The following system freezes randomly without warning:
MB: MSI Z68A-GD80(B3)
CPU: 2600K
Cooling: Corsair H60 (temps idle mid 20's, under load <60C)
IGP: Integrated, using DVI
RAM: Corsair vengeance 1600 , 4x4 16GB (9-9-9-27)
HD: Corsair M4 SSD 256 GB
OS: Win7 x64
PSU: Chieftec, 80+, 650W modular
No other components/peripherals installed/attached
When BIOS /UEFI is set to all defaults: system will run normally with no freezes, as soon as I hit the OC genie button, the system starts up normally into windows, but will suddenly freeze at any given time under full load but also under idle.
I've read all relevant threads about this "behavior" and I know I'm not alone, but after really trying every conceivable idea as suggested by many knowledgeable persons on this forum I'm completely stuck.
Things tried so far:
Manual adjustments in UEFI withou using OC genie button
Use one ram stick in slot one, (incl running at default 1333Mhz)
Use various Dram voltages (default 1.5 V and tried all possibilities up till 1,65 Volt)
Use various Vcore voltages till 1,45 Volts
Between all those various scenarios CMOS has been reset and cleared
Does any of you have any suggestions of where to proceed from here in order to get a stable OC'ed system?
Thanks in advance.

There are two things to consider.
1. The individual CPU speciman you have may just be one that does not allow much in terms of overclocking. This is the part that is the hardest to accept but the fact is that testing has provided the following results.
Quote
The results below are based on the range of the CPU turbo multiplier when overclocking.
Results are representative of 100 D2 CPUs that were binned and tested for stability under load; these results will most likely represent retail CPUs.
1. Approximately 50% of CPUs can go up to 4.4~4.5 GHz
2. Approximately 40% of CPUs can go up to 4.6~4.7 GHz
3. Approximately 10% of CPUs can go up to 4.8~5 GHz (50+ multipliers are about 2% of this group)
So the luck of the draw is always present, unfortunately
2. You are using the IGP. This will affect the overclockability of the CPU to some extent. By how much, I don't know, but on my 1156 socket i3 it had quite a large effect. If you know someone with a low end GPU that you can test with, then disable your IGP and retest to see if the results are any different.
A couple of things to check. What BIOS version do you have, and if there are any later BIOS' that address this ?
Reseat your CPU, inspect the CPU pad indentations at the the same time and check for any bent pins on the socket or any foreign matter in between the pins.
Recheck all your power connectors, especially the CPU power connector for proper seating.

K8N Neo4-F 1.D BIOS cold boot issue

A couple of months ago I flashed my BIOS to the latest version for this board, 1.D. Since then, I've noticed that sometimes on a cold boot, the computer won't complete a POST. I have to hit the reset button and warm boot for the machine to POST normally. Once the computer POSTS it otherwise works fine, so this is a minor annoyance at most. However, sometimes after the warm boot, the BIOS will warn me that overclocking has failed, and that the BIOS has reverted to default settings (although I am NOT overclocking), although hitting the DEL key and entering CMOS it's clear that the BIOS has not been reset to defaults (nor would I want it to be). After hitting F1 to continue, the computer boots as normal. Is this a known issue with this BIOS version?

P6N Sli Plat. weird cold boot issue (solved)

Hello again,
Since a few days I'm having troubles starting pc in coold boot
If i shut it down and leave it for a couple of hours, cold boot, it wont start, but when I shutdown and power down psu for a minute, it will boot
If I then turn the psu back off and on and leave the pc off, the next morning it starts normally.
Tried on stock settings, no problem, checked psu out, functions normally, none to less fluctuations on all lines.
Set my first disk to boot only, disabled the rest.
Had this running for 5 months without hickups, but since i wanted to go to 3.6GHz and installation of my new SATA-II, I've had this problem.
What am I missing.
Tried lowering NB, which results in unstable system, looser timings mem, lower/higher Vdimm, no effect.
System is in IDE not raid since my second is IDE, for storage.
I connected the 8 pin cpu connector instead of the normal 4 and that didnt work either.
Changed slots for the DIMM's, ran memtest at 860MHz 4-4-4-15-2T, no errors after 10 hrs.
Orthos/Prime95 stable after both 10+ hrs, blend and small fft's.
Hope it's not the mobo dying, checked it out and cant see anything funny, or smell strange things.
And as said at stock no problemo.
What did I do wrong this time
Edit:
After oc-ing to 3.6GHz benched cpu and it ran at Tcores max ~61C.
When i returned to old settings for 3.44GHz, I set everything back the same way it was, even cleared cmos before doing so.
Tcores max after 10 hrs of Orthos or Prime95 ~55C @3.44GHz

W520 - Cold boot issues when docking, undocking

Has anyone seen this? My W520, BIOS 1.34, has issues when I cold boot for the FIRST time when I move the machine either to or from the mini-dock. What I mean is it doesn't boot quite right if I shut it down docked, then cold boot it undocked or vise versa.
By issues, I mean that although it boots into the Windows 7 desktop, most apps won't load. It is hard to describe.
My solution is to cold boot again. Then everything is ok.
I know the stock response - boot a minimal system, upgrade drivers and BIOS etc etc etc. I'm just wondering if anyone has seen this before and knows the exact cause of this issue. It sure would save me some time investigating.
Speaking of BIOS, what are the odds of Lenovo releasing anything further for the W520 i.e. "Version 1.4" without the 1333Mhz cap on memory?

PT880----Possible cold boot issue-----What are YOUR boot times??

I may have an issue with this board that I hadn't really noticed since I've been so heavy into the max overclock I could get.
My post and then boot time is strange and annoying-----and sometimes I have to just shut off and turn on-----to actually complete the process. It just seems WAY too long! But maybe this is normal for the chipset.
Turn on>>>>>to POST beep = 40 seconds----D-Bracket shows code of "Memory Detection" during this time.....(----This is the time that seems way out of whack)----most boards I've ever had go from turn on>>>>to Post beep VERY quickly.
From POST beep>>>>>to "Welcome" screen in BOOT = another 20 seconds
Completion of BOOT = another 10 seconds-----not so much worried about this one as I would think it would be Windows dependent and what additional software was loaded.
This total process seems remarkably slow----and again----sometimes-----I NEVER get the post beep (The D-Bracket code is stuck in Memory Detection) and I have to turn the machine off and start again.
What are you guys' times with your PT880???? I tried two different types of RAM---no difference----changing RAM DIMM slots-----no difference----changing RAM timings and voltages----no difference-----I also ran Memtest on both sets of RAM (passed), reflashed Bios----cleared CMOS, and reset NVRAM----no change.
Any ideas??? Beta Bios 1.53 issue??
John

The "Cold Boot Issue" - What is it all about?

Read many replys and posts, but what is it realy?

Quote from: syar2003 on 16-March-05, 02:40:21
CPU sensor sw reads out around 10C higher on a OFF/ON boot from the winbond sensor chip compared with a restart of system .
I think AMD should take some of the blaim for their strange implementation of the tcase temp registers in their cpu and usage.
The difference is that when you restart there is valid data in one of the registers that's empty doing a coold boot .
This isn't a problem if a protocol for valid/unvalid data is employed. If no valid data is available it's wrong to put valid data in a register.
If a valid/unvalid protocol is emplyed and and a device uses invalid data then it's the one creating a problem, not the device from which the invalid data is read.

P67A-GD80 B3 "cold boot" (RAM issues?)

Hello everyone,
First of all, my native langage is not english, so please excuse my grammatical mistakes.
Second point, i'm a noob, so if you could try to vulgarize your answer, would be really appreciated !
So, there is my problem :
I bought a computer with a P67A-GD80 B3 motherboard. It worked very well since the beginning, but I noticed sometimes it takes me one, two or several attempts to boot my computer (it turns on, immediately turns off with a "click", turns on, etc. And when it turns on, all the led and fans are ok).
And recently, I started having windows warning messages : "please close X programmes, not enough memory".
note : my RAM is G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 Memory
and finally one night I made the mistake to put my computer on sleep mode. Since I am unable to start it again (always that loop : turns on, turns off, turns on, ...)
I looked on several forums and saw the cold boot issue, so I tried different things :
- clear the cmos
- move my RAM, tried with one stick, changed the plot
nothing. And i'm uncomfortable taking off the components to test them or other stuffs since I don't want to break anything.
So my question is : can it be my RAM which is dead (weird, because it doesn't work even with one stick and the other removed)
I ordered a new RAM, but is there something else I should do, i'm quite lost actually.
Thank you very much.

Regarding your last post,you should pull out the battery for a few minutes.Cannot help any further as I'm new here and just beginning to understand hardware troubleshooting.
Don't worry! Users here are very active and smart too! They will definitely help you with your problem.
One thing I can make out with your problem is that as it is a memory issue then either your RAMs have gone wrong or its the CPU/Socket.
I wrote CPU because the CPU has memory controller.So,check for some bent pins on the motherboard socket maybe?
P.S. : Always keep a 2 GB DDR3 spare RAM (normal ones : 1333 Mhz) as it helps to troubleshoot the PC much easily.It just takes one component out of the suspected hardware failure :P(This was suggested to me by one of the moderators in here)

K9A2 CF cold boot and RAID problem

Hi,
I am struggling with my mobo regarding recent cold boot issues and the problem to set up RAID on the SB600 chipset.
Here's my rig's description:
MSI K9A2 CF rev 2 (I believe because of the red heatsink) with the latest available bios flashed using the forum's tool.
Phenom 9850 BE (stock, never OCed) cooled down with Asetek closed-circuit watercooling.
2x Radeon 4850 1 Gb crossfire
4 Gigs of RAM (Nandya Technology)
HDD WD velociraptor 150 go, WD black caviar 640 go, 2x WD 1 To green caviar all drives are SATA-2
1 PCI SiI 3512 sata controller for the sata ODD drives (DVD + DVD burner)
PSU is advent 750 W
OS: Vista 64 bits home premium working with AHCI drivers
So here is the deal: the system has been running fine for about a year.
I recently bought two 1 To HDD to set up a RAID 1 for backup purpose. The goal is to run the velociraptor as system disk (which it is currently) in raid 0+1 jobd (say standalone), the WD 640 go as data disk raid 0+1 jobd (say standalone) and the two 1To as raid one array from the SB600 onboard controller.
So I flashed the bios to make sure I would have the latest raid rom. The flash was performed with the forum's flasher without a problem, followed by a load defaults and a clear CMOS to be on the safe side.
Since then, I have random cold boot problems. I fire it up, all leds and drives are on, but no post and nothing on screen, not to mention no beeps whatsoever. I already checked the connections, mobo condensators... everything looks ok. The system was bought pre-built and was working flawlessly beforehand. I need to power it off manually and restart it once to a few times and then it post and boots to the OS without a problem.
Is there any specific option I should look for in the bios to change that? I assume I might have made a wrong configuration at some point.
Concerning the RAID problem I cannot access the SB600 onboard Fastbuild utility as long as the PCI sata controller is plugged in --> I get the "Not enough space to load PCI rom" error message. Without the PCI card I can access Fastbuild and define arrays without a glitch. But if I disconnect the card, I no longer have optical drives
Does anyone have a clue how to use the SB600 in raid mode along with a PCI sata controller?
Also, when RAID is setup, arrays defined and all HDDs recognized by the bios, is there a way to make Vista load the raid driver without reinstalling from scratch? For now I can use SATA drives in AHCI mode but get a BSOD whenever I try booting from RAID.
I know that's a lot of questions but I could really use some help. I have been roaming the web and could not find anything.
Thanks in advance for your insight.
Cheers

This is common problem with boot-roms, the BIOS can't handle multiple of them, only 1 if you use raid.
So disable the PCI-Sata bootrom or disable the RAID.
This is a BIOS limitation, nothing you can do about it.
AHCI is a type of RAID also.
What you see is normal, the BIOS doesn't have enough hooks to put a Boot-rom in, and exspecially the RAID MUST need one to function.
Other solution is to use Windows software raid and put the RAID controller in normal-mode.
You won't notice the speed difference anyway as the onboard is a soft-raid as well, but then done in the BIOS, however in both cases it's the CPU that must handle them.

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.

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

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

Who Said What That Got The "Cold Boot Problems Solved" Thread Deleted?

Hello, guys.
I logged in this morning and saw that Falipay??? had posted last in the thread I started called [something like] "Cold Boot Issues Solved And Temps Now Correct". I didn't get a chance to read it, but now that I've logged back in to see what he and others may have written since my last post, the thread is gone. Not edited...gone.
What happened since I last posted that got it deleted? It's not that important, but I was curious. Hope it wasn't something I did (I'm not showing any warnings).
