Cool 'n Quiet problems
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2005 4:19 pm
I've got a small problem with enabling CnQ via the BIOS...when I enable it my system no longer boots to windows in a regular startup mode. I can boot into safe mode though. It goes through the loading windows screen and then switches to a solid blue screen (windows error screen) with nothing exept either the number 2 or the ^ character. When I disable CnQ I can boot into windows in either normal or in safe mode. Temperatures are not an issue and I have had CnQ enabled and running normally before.
Here's a look at my setup (other than whats in my sig):
- ambient: 22ยบ C
- idle: CPU-28; System-28; RAM(on heatspreader surface)- 31
- load: CPU-40; System-35; RAM(on heatspreader surface)-41
- front & rear fans: Antec Pro 120mm BB fans @ ~1100 rpm via Thermaltake Hardcano13 Fan Controller
- PSU fan: stock Antec TPII fan @ ~900rpm
- Voltage readings via CoreCenter (motherboard utility): 12v -11.90v; 5v- 5.03v; 3.3v - 3.31v
With regards to my overclock...here are the relevant settings:
- CPU multiplier = 10x
- HTT speed = 250Mhz
- HTT multiplier = 4x
- RAM divider = 166MHz
- VCore = 1.400v (stock)
These settings are stable as far as I can tell....I haven't done the Prime95 24 hour test yet but it does not hang in the 4 hours I did do the test for. I also did it concurrently with 3DMark03 and it didn't hang. I know this doesn't mean its 100% rock stable but it should mean windows should boot at least.
I had it overclocked before to 2.4 GHz on an 11x multi with HTT multi of 4x and speed of 218Mhz and CnQ worked perfectly. I recently changed the settings to make it a little more stable and get a little more speed out of it (without making it hotter or louder) and now CnQ seems to hang up my boot. I'm not entirely sure what else could be causing it and I will be emailing MSI in the next few minutes to see if its hardware issue but I do have the latest bios from their website and the latest processor driver from AMDs website. Can anyone figure out why this doesn't seem to work?
