answer? qq

It says that 16 gig are installed and that is correct, the 12 usable probably means you are currently using 4gig. If everything is working don't worry.

Did you get your temperature problem solved?

HideLater · « **Reply #52 on:** 23-June-12, 03:59:08 »

Ok, I decided to just ignore it, and I'm about to get uh.. thermal compound. I'm gonna clean off the thermal compound on my processor in a bit and reapply.

good! your current cooler more then likely was miss installed and has a poor contact between the heatsync base and cpu! its ment to be nice and level as it goes on and that should work much better as it will give a clean contact!

Haha yeah thanks

The temperature went down to around 30 degrees celsius, the lag stopped, and no more shutting down.

I'm satisfied with my MSI computer as well, somewhat.

The only problem is that it still generates some lag in combat arms...

It skips frames pretty often... and crashes a lot.

Any idea about it? I'm gonna go look back on some of your previous responses and see what I can do.

badboy2k · « **Reply #55 on:** 24-June-12, 17:19:29 »

see my advice why your computer was crashing was correct that you had a poor thermal conatct on the cpu!

ok what graphics card are you using? as its more then likely going to be one of 3 things!

either the card doesnt have enougth ram to work as a frame buffer

or the gpu itself isnt fast enougth

possibly outdated graphics drivers (download the latest ones for your card)

if its a slow GPU or not enougth graphics ram the only thing you can do is lower the graphics settings or resolution in game and see if it improves.

Just to make sure that you know... I have two computers. The one with the heating problem was the GIGABYTE one, and now the one with the Combat Arms problem is the MSI one.

I have 16GB of RAM installed in the MSI one along with a 1GB ATI Radeon HD 5750 which is DDR5.

The drivers for that Graphics Card are from the CD that it came with.

Another note: The GIGABYTE computer has 6GB of RAM with a 2GB DDR Pny GPU and it has no lag whatsoever.

I already tested out both cards and have determined that the ATI runs faster.

If you are here to get support for your MSI products, then you are very welcome.
The other product is not open for discussion and is best addressed in a general forum or on the Gigabyte forum.

get the ones off AMD not off the cd!

they will be very old drivers indeed on the supplied cd (6 months minimum age)!

download catylist 12.3 as that is more stable then 12.4 it will be in the older drivers section!

HideLater · « **Reply #59 on:** 25-June-12, 03:44:41 »

Cool thanks.

I'll install it straight from the site.

And for one of you previous answers, you told me to download CPU-Z and compare the timings to the ones on the box. I couldn't find it on the box, but there was an installation guide. In it where it says "DRAM Timing Control", the only numbers given to me are from the last sentence which is:

"So 5-5-5-15 settings will translate to the following: tCL=2 tRCD=3 tRP=2 tRAS=5"

Should I change the timings accordingly?

HideLater · « **Reply #60 on:** 29-June-12, 08:40:37 »

I was messing around with the ram settings, and now the monitor stays blank when I turn the computer on. I turned the computer on and off several times... yet it still does not show.
How do I fix that?

Bernhard · « **Reply #61 on:** 29-June-12, 08:43:26 »

Do a full CMOS clear. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

HideLater · « **Reply #62 on:** 29-June-12, 08:55:50 »

Cool thanks.

And for manually adjusting timings for my RAM which numbers do I refer to?

5-5-5-15 or
tcl=2
trcd=3
trp=2
tras=5

Bernhard · « **Reply #63 on:** 29-June-12, 09:04:46 »

Your CPU-Z SPD profiles will guide you which timings you need to address if your timings are not automatically set correctly.
Maybe you can post the SPD and memory tabs of CPU-Z

HideLater · « **Reply #64 on:** 29-June-12, 09:11:37 »

I'll do that in just a bit, hold on.

I can't quite find the correct timings to put in since my RAM came in a 4x4 kit. PC3-12800 and 1600mhz, the ones I've come across while trying to google it are 10666 12800 that are 2GB versions.

HideLater · « **Reply #65 on:** 29-June-12, 09:14:29 »

Oh! I think I've found it to be 9-9-9-24.. but I'm booting up my computer and I will post the CPU-Z readings before I start messing with the settings again.

HideLater · « **Reply #66 on:** 29-June-12, 09:28:20 »

Do I need to change anything, or is it fine?

Froggy Gremlin · « **Reply #67 on:** 29-June-12, 09:40:46 »

I would recommend to change CL from 7 to 9, and tRAS from 25 to 24 and call it good.

HideLater · « **Reply #68 on:** 29-June-12, 09:43:19 »

To do that in the BIOS, I would change the column that says "auto" to "7t" and "24t" correct?

Froggy Gremlin · « **Reply #69 on:** 29-June-12, 09:50:03 »

The 'Auto' setting changed to 9 and the other to 24, yes.

HideLater · « **Reply #70 on:** 29-June-12, 09:52:01 »

Oh yeah I meant 9, thanks.
