>> HYPER TRANSPORT OVERLOAD ERROR COMMON RESTARTS
I WAS ALL HYPED UP TO GET THIS NEW LATEST AMD MOBO FROM MSI I have personally had 2 MSI boards featuring old socket 478 and they have been great performers I had purchased 2 MSI NForce4 MoBo s for customers in past so I was hoping for great results again with this new AMD board This MoBo is filled full of features that other MoBo s do not have for this particular chipset setup BluRay Audio LOTS USB ports 4x CrossFireX Coolest as in temps MoBo i think i ve ever ran But unfortunately it is so unstable and this mobo is nuttin but bad news
First off I had Geil 2133 OC memory installed couldn t get it to perform no where near that fastest was 1333mhz switch to Kingston HyperX 1600 and tried CORSAIR XMS3 1600 and both worked as stated then Tried every setting in memory setup with only 1600mhz working decent or the initial 1333 or 1066 on most startups or no post resets used three different memory makers of the 3 only the 2 1600mhz rated workd perfect
Second of which is restarts are very common in WinXP and more in Win7 x64 The restarts come up with a screen on inital restart stating HyperTransport Overload Error and then repeats a restart every 20 30 minutes MSI has no fix as of now with there Tech Support Found if you hit the restart button right away after you see the BIOS screen it seems to extend the restart period of time still very lame
Third situation i believe is AMD Overdrive is a hyped buying conspiracy i swear manufactures dont even give support for it for the ones that label there product Black Edition compatible and AMD has no clue what it is when u call in about either
I have never had this much trouble building a PC and nuntheless it was for a loyal customer of mine that i have built 3 Gaming rigs for in last 3 years I have put together 100 s of PC s rangin from OLD socket 370 Intel 440BX chipsets bein overclocked huge with 1 4ghz Celerons almost a decade ago to 2days s hottest Intel 1366 or AMD AM3 boards with multiple graphics cards for extremists and by far this has done more wrong to my image as a reputable computer builder then anything good that has come out of it
I already purchased an ASUS M4A79T Deluxe board and everything worx AWSUM now reverted back to ASUS after having good results on my personal older A8N32 SLI Deluxe I will probly not buy another MSI board for sumtime after this incident I own 2 PC s that have Black Edition CPU s and they are fast cheap and effective on games
Xclio Case
Quad 3 4ghz 965 Black Edition
4gb 1600mhz Kingston HyperX
2x ATi 5770 1gb CrossfireX
ASUS 8x BluRay
WD Black 1TB SATA Hard Drive
CORSAIR 850w Power SUpply
with these components i cannot find a happy place for no restarts/BSOD s
