MSI P35D3 Platinum with GeForce 9800 GT, always reboots!? - 2008/12/23 01:48
If anybody can help me to solve a rebooting issue with MSI P35D3 Platinum mainboard? I'm currently having rebooting issues with video card being installed on my MSI P35D3 Platinum motherboard which is running with the version 1.6 of the mainboard BIOS before installing any operating system or software. It came originally with version 1.1 but tried all version up to the latest. All versions of mainboard BIOS do cause reboots. I've installed BIOS's from the MSI P35 Platinum and MSI P35 Platinum Combo and it makes the video card work without any issues. My power supply is a Logisys 575W with a dedicated line for the video card.
Currently I'm using the MSI P35 Platinum Combo BIOS on my motherboard. What I did was tried different components to see if there was compatibility issue. Eventually it boiled down to the video card. When I used an ASUS GeForce 9400 GT it booted with no problems using original mainboard BIOS. I really want to use the PNY GeForce 9800 GT. So I suspected the motherboard BIOS causes the issue. I used the BIOS's for the MSI P35 Platinum and P35 Platinum Combo to test my theory. They both flashed correctly and it allowed me to boot everything up. I installed operating system, all drivers and games for testing.
Before I installed the operating system, I put my original video card back and it works. The only two issues I noticed so far was system temp in motherboard BIOS shows 127°C and second ACPI shows installed but has and exclamation mark next to it. So far, I played Call Of Duty 5, World of Warcraft online for hours with no problems. I tried watching movies with my burner and no issues. As for CPU temp, goes down in the low 30°C's in idle and goes up to 42°C when I play games considering the system is all air cooled.
I left messages with MSI on their website to rewrite the mainboard BIOS. Already contacted MSI and PNY but both of them saying the other has to rewrite their respective BIOS's. If anyone can shed some light, I would really appreciate it.
