760GM-E51 having onboard VGA problems

I got this motherboard as part of a barebones kit from TigerDirect. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1706926&CatId=5294
I already knew that the PSU was going to be an issue but figured I could at least get it booting up and get an OS installed. Unfortunately this was not the case. Booting barebones style, with just the CPU and RAM attached gets me to the BIOS, but immedately after saving and exiting, the following reboot goes wonky after the MSI logo screen. The video is all messed up and snowy. Is the onboard video to blame, or the PSU that needs more juice?

What does the label on the PSU show for amps on the +12V rail(s)?
 That can't possibly be a very good PSU since it came with a $60 case. A good PSU is going to cost almost that much by itself.
 What is the number on the BIOS chip sticker?
The amps for the 12v rail is listed at 30. And yeah, even the reviews on TD iimplied that the PSU was crap. I knew that going in. haha. But still. Some of those reviewers have managed to get the kit running, so why can't I, y'know? Haha.
As for the BIOS chip: A7956 on top, AMS1A0 beneath it.

  • 760GM-E51 help. Not sure if it's a hardware or problem...

    Hey all, I have the above listed motherboard, 760GM-E51, and I just started getting a problem with my USB mouse.
    Some specs:
    AMD phenom II x4 955 black edition
    And I'm on windows 7 premium home edition 64bit.
    Under heavy load and graphic intensive games out of the blue the mouse will stutter then the driver just disappears and the mouse loses power like it wasn't connected.
    It's not the mouse as I've tried a couple different mice. Also in the device manager there are ALOT of ghosted items listed in both the human interface devices, and the keyboards, and the mice and pointing devices.
    I've tried booting in diagnostic mode and removing the drivers for a clean install. Didn't work.
    I've tried resetting the USB hubs in the device manager. No luck there.
    I've tried different ports. All the same outcome.
    All my drivers and BIOS are up to date.
    Browsing around or solutions to the problem it's fairly common. But I'm baffled why it would happen now and how to fix it.
    Thanks in advance.

    D'oh! Sorry. Thanks flobelix for the link.
    Board: MSI 760GM-E51
    Bios: Version 1.a
    VGA:   Onboard Radeon 3000
    *PSU#1: ISO-450 350W (16A 12v rail)
    *PSU#2:  PC Power and Cooling Mk III Silencer 600W (46A 12v rail)
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black
    MEM: Unknown brand 12G (4x4)
    HDD: Samsung HD204ui 2TB
    OC: None.
    OS: Windows 7 64bit Home Premium
    Keyboard: Gigabyte Aivio Osmium keyboard.
    Mouse 1: Gigabyte GM-6800
    Mouse 2: Logitech M500
    *I thought it was the power supply as well and changed them out, same problems.
    What's happening, is the mouse just seemingly disconnects. It will stutter trying to connect, and then *kaput* The LED on the mouse goes out, no more response. And I'll hear the USB event sound in the background connect, disconnect, connect, and cycle like that about 3 or 4 times. It's either a driver issue that I can't seem to figure out. Or the Motherboard is starting to give up the ghost and I need to fast track a replacement build.
    I've got two BSOD's in my minidump as well if you would like to see those, both are memory related. But I'm not sure how that affects the drivers.
    Thanks in advance guys, hope that gives you a little more information.

  • 651M-L can't disable onboard VGA and other problems.

    Hello. I have the MSI 651M-L motherboard and I want to use an external AGP card (GeForce 2 MX 400) instead of the onboard. I am really confused with this board for many reasons (the PC is not mine, I should just fix it). I think that the board may be damaged. First of all, in the manual, it doesn't say a word about the external AGP card. In the BIOS, there is nothing relevant (disable onboard VGA). I thought that it is just automatic and I plugged in the external card, but the system was still working with the onboard! 2 or 3 times ONLY, the system has booted-up normally but the monitor was off. I thought then to shutdown the PC and connect the monitor to the external card. The system was working properly after that and Windows XP saw the GeForce 2. After some reboots, the system was switching again to the onboard VGA (without personally making any change)! Why is that? Why the system is switching by itself from the one VGA to the other? I have checked that the AGP card is plugged in correctly. Is there any jumper or something to disable the onboard VGA? Thanks.
    PS1: Can someone explain to me, why the VGA drivers downloaded from the MSI website for this board (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=478&kind=1), don't work? When I am trying to install them, an error message comes up saying that it didn't find the necessary hardware and the installation is canceled. My present drivers have date of 2002 and I want to upgrade to the latest drivers. I have made all the other driver updates (agp driver, IDE, sound, LAN etc).
    PS2: Is it true that this board doesn't have any option for overclocking? I have a P4 at 2.4 GHz. I didn't find anything in the BIOS. I can't believe it. Are there any hidden options?
    PS3: Will MSI release any newer BIOS for this board? The latest is 07/09/2003, but I think that there are many things to be improved.

    Hi again. Maesus, I have already tried that and if I remember well, it had worked in the beginning but later the system started the same thing. I don't want to do that again, because I will have to re-configure all BIOS settings and because I think that it shouldn't be necessary. The solution would be to have a new BIOS release. But I want to add that I have tried with another external AGP card (again a GeForce 2) without result. The system can see only the onboard VGA and I can't figure out why.
    Apart from that, I have another VERY STRANGE error. Please read carefully: I was facing many Blue-Screens-of-Death (BSD) with the know error "Page Fault In Non Page Area". From my experience, classic case of RAM problems, due to failing or bad configured DIMM. The RAM is a one-week new 1 GB DIMM DDR-400 which works at 266 MHz (2T CL, 1T CR). I had shared 64 MB to the on-board VGA and the other 960 MB to the system. I couldn't believe that the DIMM was failing, so I used MS Memory Diagnostic tool to check-it out. In the first pass, many errors were found (about 60 at the time I stopped it). This utility is rather old now and in some cases can give wrong results. For example, in my personal system where I have 4 identical DIMMS of 512 MB each (Dual Channel), this utility was reporting some errors, while actually my RAM was perfect. I know it because I have checked it with Memtest86 and was error-free and also because the system is rock-solid. Back to our case now, I re-started the test and again I saw many errors. Actually, the standard 6-tests first pass was ok, but the second pass has... 4500 errors all in the sixth test! Very strange but I was terrified by that! The same day, I tried Memtest86 to verify the errors. Memtest, had correctly recognized the 960 MB of memory and reported that is going to check this amount of memory. 2 passes and no errors. The next day, I have understood that maybe the problem was with the 64 MB shared memory part. Maybe this memory part was causing the whole problems, because the diagnostic tool could try to test it as a system memory part. Additionally I have never used MS Memory Diagnostic on such a case (onboard VGA). I decided to limit the shared memory up to 8 MB and re-try the test, hoping for less errors. I have tried 3 standard 6-tests passes and 3 extended 11-tests passes with not a single error. Also, the BSD have disappeared. Yesterday, I tried to watch a DVD and two times faced BSD. Today, this DVD plays normally. I will continue the tests of course, but I think that there was (maybe still there is) a problem with the hundle of the shared memory part. I have all the latest drivers, but I believe that this board is problematic. Anyway, If someone have to make any comments on this story is welcome.

  • 760gm-e51 (fx)

    I have been reading for hours and haven't seen one issue close to mine,I am almost 100% certain I received a bad board but before I ship it back I want some input from ya'll please,first system specs,
    msi 760gm-e51(fx)
    AMD 8120 8 core cpu
    Kingston hyper-X 4x4gb
    cooler master 600w
    WD Black,caviar I think it's called 1tb
    Pny GT 630 2gb vid card
    stock cpu heat sink/fan
    installed in case is a 120intake 90 intake and a 90 rear exhaust and a 120 side exhaust
    hopefully one day will be installing win 7 ultimate x64
    Ok so being as this is by far my first build I have tried everything that I know,thus I come to you
    First things first assembled everything into case,made sure to wear grounding bracelet plug in all appropriate cables turn the system on it doesn't do anything,case fans and cpu fan are turning but no monitor signal,hmmm odd,shut system down check connectors etc etc etc again,turn system on get a loading screen it reads "GeForce GT 630 powered by nVIDIA,next line reads AMD 8120 3.1ghz,alright then I get a flash of a pretty mother board with some msi logo,next I get a screen that says "No bootable devices found please press any key to enter boot menu" ok so I press enter the next message is "No bootabe devices found. Restarting" I don't have a dvd player yet(it hasn't arrived)so I made a flash drive bootable of windows 7,my other computer recognizes it just fine. ok so it restarts same error message about a dozen times,so I go grab the hard drive out of my functioning computer and plug it in and turn on the system,no bios options screen no cmos options buttons and I get the same error,it restarts but this time it ends up loading a windows xp partition off of this old hard drive,ok so that is at the windows loading screen,when my monitor flashed red and the computer shutoff,so it restarts and I get the previous message of no bootable devices found,hmmm so I restart and I get a new screen says "OC failed press f2 to enter bios options" sweet so I hit F2 and it freezes on the loading screen of that for 35 minutes and nothing so I power off again,this time I power back on and nothing happens,fans spin in case and cpu but blank screen,did this a few dozen times the last few days and I get one of those three screens everytime,never in my last 20 years of building computers have I ever not even been able to access bios,please I am begging everyone for help

    Is there a green sticker on the bios chip? If not, what is the date code in the s/n of the mobo? The release date of the bios that supports that cpu is  2011-11-14, so it probably isn't that, but a good place to start.
    FX-Series Zambezi FD8120FRW8KGU FX-8120 200 3.10 8M 8M B2 125 7596v32.zip
    Next, remove all but one stick of ram and do a full cmos clear and see if the problem goes away. Try other sticks individually if it does, then try in dual channel etc.
    Also, that board has onboard vga i believe, remove the discrete card and see if the issue goes away.
    Let us know the results.
    Edit: @Bern beat me by a tick

  • 760gm-e51 + and fx-4100 = blank screen no bios

    Newegg had a combo deal with the fx 4100 and the msi 760gm-e51 (not the fx the box does not say fx after e51) .... Everything comes on, fan works but no keyboard lights flash or anything on screen upon powering on..
    Is the board DOA? I mean even with an fx processor shouldn't I still be getting to POST?
    I bought 2 of each but I don't want to open the others as I'm thinking of returning and buying a newer board. This is for client so I need any help as fast as possible please.
    Power supply is antec earth watts 440 watts active PFC, I have the CPU power cable plugged in.. I've swapped the power supplies and no difference. All lights come on, HDD, DVD rom ejects, all four on board CPU LEDs light up ( unless I unplug the CPU power cable then only one led ) ... The board has VGA, dvi and hdmi but I'm using only VGA... Confused..
    Thanks everyone,
    Drew

     Are you sure there is no sticker with the number on it? If BIOS 1.x no FX support, if BIOS 3.x yes FX support. I'm pretty sure only the (FX) version of MB supports FX CPU.
     My suggestion would be to return them with an explanation the FX 4100 CPU is not supported on the non (FX) version of the MB. They sold a combo deal that didn't have a chance or working together right from the beginning.
    SL500, your problem has nothing to do with this topic. It might be a similar problem but is a different MB with a Rana CPU and has nothing to do with FX CPU.
     Do not hijack other peoples topics with your own problem.

  • Mac Mini mid 2011 Mini Dvi to VGA problems

    I have a mac mini mid 2011 and I have to connected to a display in work.  The display only has a VGA entrance, so i bought a mini dvi to vga adapter from my local mac store, but when i connected to the display everything looks odd, the whole display has an odd purple look, I have tried to use a different VGA cable but keep having the same problem, I even tried a different display with the same results, anybody knows why this happens and how to fix it?

    Your welcome!
    On your end before returning the Adapter,
    try > Resetting the System Management Controller
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Wait fifteen seconds.
    4. Attach the computer's power cord.
    5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    and > About NVRAM and PRAM
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    3. Turn on the computer.
    4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.

    then if that doesn't help, return the adapter and explain the problem to the Apple tech person at the store.

  • VGA problem with FiFA 2003 and Audio Problem with NHL2003

    i use onboard VGA
    800 x600for both games
    with no problem
    but for Fifa 2003
    the screen looks so dark...
    all players look like a black people(all  black color hair
    and black face))
    some audio problem with NHL 2003...

    Have you tried the following?
    Adjust monitor settings? i.e. contrast/brightness
    Video settings within the game? Some have gamma or brightness settings.
    Gamma correction in "Display Properties"?
    for starters anyway......

  • K8NGM-V, Onboard-LAN problems

    Hi, I'm having some serious problems with the onboard LAN card on my K8NGM-V board. I've been trying alot and I cant get it to work properly. I installed the latest drivers from nvidia (nForce 8.26) and the card is detected and installed as "nvidia nForce networking controller", after a reboot it is assigned an IP from my DHCP router, so far so good. But when I try to access the internet (or my router which I'm directly connected to) it's not working as it should. I'm only getting like 25% successrate when I'm pinging an hompage or a LAN device. It's going REALLY slow to connect to webpages, most of the time the connection times out.
    Right now I'm using a PCI network card, which works great. So the problem have to be with the onboard lan.
    If anyone have the slightest clue to what could be wrong, please post!

    Some nVidea lans seem to have some problems. I'm not sure wether the follwoing will be a solution for your adapter, but trying won't hurt you.
    Goto Device manager and look for the adapter. Select Properties -> Advanced and look for Offload Checksum. Set it to Disabled, restart and try your connection. If it doesn't do anything, simply set it to what it was.
    Edit: also, check for adware/spyware/virusses and check your firewall settings. Do you have a sperate modem? If so, what happens when you skip the router and connect directly to the modem?

  • KT6V a)LAN LED and b)vga problem

    Hi everybody,
    Recently a friend of mine bought a KT6V-LSR, there are two things going on firstly, the led of activity on the LAN jack at the rear panel (backbone) doesn’t flash at all, it stays always on, other pc on the same switch with an MSI motherboard doesn’t have a problem (the led flashes during activity). Does anybody have the same motherboard and have checked that led?
    Secondly a problem mentioned by an other person here in this forum, the screen turns to black for 1-2 seconds in windows without a specific reason the VGA is a Gigabyte nvidia 5200 128MB, the problem most of the times appears during overlay, powerdvd and windvd, but also in windows while surfing, the PSU is fine it used to work with a ATI-9800Pro. Does anybody have the same problem?
    Thanks for the help!

    i´m having the same problem as you
    In the lan case it works perfect but the led don´t flash .this is not a big deal but the other one aparently to be a problem beetwen video and motherboad (AGP, bios or driver nvidia in my case)
    becouse if you see (I have win xp installed SP1) check in panel control, admistrative tools icon, and go for succes visor , select system and look for an error with the following description
    " a device has enter in an infinite loop and windows could estabilizase the system please save your work a reboot"
    i still don´t know  what to do first i´m thinking in flash the bios

  • 760GM-E51 (FX) blank screen

    760GM-E51 (FX)  MS-7596 VER:1.2
    Amd FX 6100
    Kingston 2x4gb 1333mhz
    Barracuda seagate 500gb sata.
    Coolermaster GX 650Watt
    after reading about others problem i found a sticker that says (A7596 AWS300)
    Should this set work together?  asked the store when i orderd and they told me it should.
    When i try to boot it just wont start up the screen...i hear that dvd hard disk and cpu fan workes..it even lights up 4blue leds ...i have totaly ran out of ideas...
    Is it possible to flash bios in this mode?
    I have an phenom II X4 850 in another pc might be an idea to try if it workes..to se if bios are in right version.
    Bought to my 10year old kid to christmas and he really locked forward to it.

    Solution was my older Phenom cpu...started and could update bios...
    Sucks big time anyway that they sell stuff that don fit untill an update wich is impossible if you dont have any old stuf at home...
    Gonna do some complaining..
     How do you figure it's MSI's fault when the CPU is newer than the BIOS that came from the factory? That's what some of the BIOS updates are for after all.

  • How to obtain new utilities disk for a 760GM-E51

    How do you obtain a new utilities disk for a 760GM-E51?

    Quote from: dlmoore821 on 03-February-12, 06:22:09
    Followed your link to how to contact msi and filled out the information.  However have not seen nor heard anything beyond that.
    Followed your link to the files recommended to burn to a disk. Found that "ati_system_drive_mb.zip" has among other things; A total of  2,137 files, 32 application files, 1 setup application file, 20 read me files and 323 Windows installer packages.  As best I can tell there are no instruction in this zip to explain how to run the files or what they are for.
    At the present all I want to do is reload the onboard video drivers.
     1 - Chinese New Year holidays began Jan. 23 and celebrations last 15 days from that. With 2 week plus backlog it may be quite some time before you get a reply.
     2 - Download and install the ATI system drivers. Run the setup application file. The OS should determine itself which files to install as needed.

  • K9N6PGM2-V2 DISABLE ONBOARD VGA INSTALL 6600 PCI-e

    Hi All
    I have put together a basic multimedia computer for a friend using all new parts (listed below) All went well with the XP install and it seems to be running fine, Another pleasant build apart from the graphics>
    I want to disable the onboard graphics and use a NEW MSI 6600 (non SLI) graphics card basically for the dual view and S-VIDEO output options, I have set the preference in the BIOS to PCI-E disabling the onboard VGA, I connected the monitor to the 6600 but no picture is displayed and found the onboard VGA is still working, Would I need to remove the onboard drivers to be able to use the 6600?
    K9N6PGM2-V2 MOBO
    SEMPRON 140 2.7GHz AM3 CPU
    CORSAIR XMS2 512mb x2 RAM
    A-POWER 680W PSU
    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    okay I hope this helps because i had a similar problem where my gtx 275 coop would not display unless the onboard vga was installed, but i have an msi nf980-g65 mobo, so i'm hoping this can help. so before doing anything switch your setting that should be called "Primary Graphics Adapter" to "Internal" if thats what it says in your bios, (you can have the graphics card in or out of the pc its fine) then go into windows if you have it installed, then go to device manager and delete the onboard vga from the display adapters. then download the latest drivers for your card (you don't need the card to be recognized or installed to download the drivers) but dont install the drivers yet, then download Driver Sweeper, reboot into safe mode then open driver sweeper, and check every box related to nvidia, then clean it. (also if windows reinstalled the drivers for the onboard vga, delete it again from the device manager and clean the drivers again with driver sweeper) then install the latest drivers for your graphics card, it should already be on your desktop or wherever you saved it to. then reboot and see if your graphics card picks up video, and then if it does go into windows and look in the device manager and if your onboard vga and your graphics card are shown in device manager, then don't do anything and reboot into the BIOS and set the primary graphics adapter back to PCI-E and i'm not sure where its located but look into the chipset feature option or wherever and it should show a setting called Onboard VGA or Integrated VGA and set it to disabled, then it should take off the onboard vga from the computer and your graphics card should still pick up a video signal. but the feature would only pop up for me if the graphic card was enabled so look hard for it. i hope this helps cause i had that same problem where it need the mGPU enabled for the 275 to be enabled

    Hi.
    I have the following:
    MSI 760gm-e51,
    AMD Athlon II X4-640 processor
    2x4Gb Mushkin DDR3 SDRAM.
    I power on the machine and get a single beep, four blue lights on the mother board, the "MSI 760gm-e51" screen flashes for a half-second and then a black screen with a flashing cursor.  No sign of a POST.
    If I hit 'Delete' I can get to the BIOS.  BIOS shows that CPU and RAM are recognized:

    What do I need to do to get this to POST?  What more information can I provide to help?

    Brilliant!  I feel so stupid. 
    I had the boot order reversed (1) HDD, (2) DVD.  The HDD had an old install of Ubuntu and so I guess the boot saw that, tried it, failed and I got my flashing cursor. 
    Corrected the boot order and tried it with a Fedora-15 .iso and that booted in moments.
    I love it when things work out like that.
    Thanks for the response.

    After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!
    iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

    It's not crap at all.
    It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
    There has to be a solution.
    Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
    and maintain a current backup of your computer.
