AMD x4 860K and MSI A55M-E33

Hey guys
So I'm building a cheap gaming PC for my daughter for Christmas I ordered a A55M-E33 and a AMD x4 860k after using pcpartpicker (along with 8gb of ram and a 750 TI).
Everything arrived today but when I power it up I'm only getting fans, no beeps no display etc
I'm guessing I've got the wrong BIOS revision but I'm a bit unwilling to buy another processor just so I can reflash the BIOS. Does anyone have experience of this chip working in this board or any suggestions how I can reflash the board.
Thanks
Si

It is also useful to add full system specs as there is more than just vga, cpu and board: >>Posting Guide<<

Msi a55m-e33 motherboard won't boot up

Currently bought new parts to install to my rig but they won't boot up??
Motherboard: msi a55m-e33

ram: hyperx 1866mhz 8gb

first suspect is the BIOS on the board! for that CPU it needs at least Version B1 (11.1) for a Richland CPU to be supported...
if you do not know what BIOS version your board has tell us the Serial Number of the board so we can tell you if thats the issue or not? (that is on the UPC label on the box it came in or on a sticker on the rear of the motherboard!)

MSI A55M - E33 no OFFSET!?

Hello!
I just bought an MSI A55-E33 motherboard, motherboard old was nowhere to be offset in the tall'm using! In a A4 6300 processor in it. Until now it was flawless at 1.1 V, but just give him a 1.3 V, so you better warm up and eat more.
There may be a bios for this board that supports the OFFSET??

This is very hard to understand what is most likely caused due to the usage of an online translator. I suppose you are asking if there is an overvoltage offset option for this board. Answer is no. Where no offset is included out of the box it is impossible to add with a simple update.

AMD-XP 2600+ and MSI KT4V MS-6712 MB

Can somebody help me pls? I do have a MSI KT4V MS-6712 Motherboard and an AMD Athlon XP 2600 processor. According the CPU RATIO settings table I should put the ratio 16 and the FSB on 133, but I don't have a 16. I only have a 15 and if I use the 15 instead of the 16 I do get a performance of 733 Mhz. When I use the 12.5/13 the system says it's a XP-2000+, but I'm still missing some Mhz. I did already upgrade the BIOS to version 1.8 but no results.
Pls help me, I'm getting crazy! ;(

I changed it into 166 Mhz and now it's acting as a XP 2600+.
Rob, thanks for your suggestion and help in this matter.
:P

AMD Sempron 3100+ and MSI KN8 Neo2 motherboard....

I purchased the MSI KN8 Neo2 Platinum motherboard after reading pretty good reviews about it. I was wondering if this board was compatible with AMD 3100+ Sempron processor.
I hope someone here can help me out...
Thanks

Or you can get the NEO2 board and then purchase a socket 939 processor. They are coming out with lower models that will be cheaper. You will then have dual channel memory.
I have the regular 754 NEO and I am 100% satisfied, so either way you should be fine. Be sure and get a really good PSU with lots of amps on the 12v rail.

MSI A55M-E33 problems with USB Hub

When I boot with my USB Hub plugged in the screen will stay black and I get a 9C, 99, 92 or A2 error. Often after a few seconds this will disappear but sometimes it will just hang on 9C forever. Without the USB Hub plugged in it will boot straight into windows with no errors, but the internal buzzer will give one long beep and two short beeps.
I used MSI live update 6 to upgrade my BIOS from W10 to W50. Inside the BIOS screen it is given as E7721AMS v32.5.
The boot mode is Legacy + UEFI, and the boot order is:
Boot 1: SSD (win 8.1 64 bit on here)
2: DVD
3: UEFI Hard Disk
4: UEFI USB CD
5: UEFI USB key
etc
My 2nd hard drive isn't listed as an option, though in another section of the BIOS (can't recall which) it is listed as being in a SATA port.
USB devices are a wifi dongle, wireless keyboard & mouse receiver, and a D-Link DUB-H7 7 port usb hub (with 2 external hard drives attached).
Any ideas what I can do? Would a different usb hub solve the problem?

So I phoned a local computer repair shop, and he said it sounded like a faulty USB hub. He advised me to buy a PCI-E usb card and plug the devices directly into that. I was confident he wasn't trying to just sell me anything, as he didn't have these cards in stock and suggested buying one online.
So I bought one of those cards and plugged the external HDD's directly into that. It has solved the problem with hanging on 9C (the beeping problem seems to have just disappeared by itself). Now I just momentarily get a 99 and A2 error then it boots directly into windows 8. Unfortunately the external drives won't appear for about 30 seconds, and also I can't use my wireless keyboard or mouse for the same amount of time.
I'm fairly sure its not the fault of the drives. Today I've plugged them into two windows 7 laptops and booted those and the drives show up immediately. Same with the USB hub.
Does it sound like a faulty motherboard? Or something not set correctly in the BIOS?

Some help please... AMD-XP 2600+ and MSI KT3V MS-6712 doesnt work

Hi...
I just buy an athlon xp 2600+ (333fsb) and I cant make it work with my KT3V ms-6712.. It keep saying that is a xp 2000+
I´ve tried all...
FSB at 133 doesn´t give the rigth mhz,
at 166 x 12.5 doesnt start...
What else can I do?
can anyone helpme please..
I did already upgrade the BIOS

ok...
i got it...
That´s rigth the ram speed must be = or > than the cpu FSB.
I tried a pc DDR Pc32000 and it works ok...
also works with two ddr simple 266 dimms, that makes sdram speed goes to 333.
Thanx a lot.. and good luck.!!

R9 270X Gaming 2G (V303) – AMD and MSI GPU Application and Control suites

R9 270X Gaming 2G S/N 602-V303-13SB1312109829-398.
Now I got the following applications running all at the same time and I think it may be unnecessary to run all of them. I think some of them does the same thing really.
- MSI Afterburner
- RivaTuner
- VGA Boost
- AMD Catalyst Control Center
And sometimes I run AMD Game Evolved and MSI GamingApp as well.
What is your opinion on the different applications that runs to control and modify your GPU settings, what is really needed and what should be avoided is any.
In my case I like MSI Afterburner as it is easy to set the exact overclocking setting I find most stable and RivaTuner is great for in-game monitoring and game video recording. I am not sure what VGA Boost does, but it sound cool so I am running it too. AMD Catalyst Control Center seems unnecessary to me, but I am running it, because perhaps it should. Very confused, I am.

@Nick
Thank you for your reply
You said ” I use EVGA's tool (pretty much the same as MSI afterburner), nvidia's control panel and GPU-Z. Nothing else to be fair.”, but do they not do the same sort of thing, EVGA’s tool and NVidia Control Panel. In my case Afterburner and AMD CCC.
That is what I do not get, why should both run at the same time, what does that help.
Sorry for my ignorance if the answer is obvious. I just do not get it. To me, it seems like having two different email programs running and checked the same email account at the same time.
I know a lot of people are doing the same as you mentioned, but why please tell me why

FM2-A55M-E33 and Dual Graphics

I purchased a MSI FM2-A55m-E33 Mainboard, AMD APU (A8-5600K), 8 GB Kingston HyperX Memory and a MSI Radeon 6670 viseo vard to do a CrossfireX budget gaming rig.
I have 2 Problems, the memory can not be set over 1333 MHz, if I set it to 1600 in the bios after about 10 minutes of playing wow, the game closes, if I set it back to default (1333) it runs fine.
2nd problem, when I first set up the PC, and started to set up the bios after 20 seconds the PC would restart. I had the video card plugged into the 6670 card, not onboard, this happened 2 or 3 times so I decided to plug it into the vga on the mainboard, no more resets...so I thought...hmmmmm.
Anyway, set up the bios, logged into Windows, downloaded the drivers, set it all up for dual graphics, restarted the pc. Plugged the monitor in the 6670 (as recommended by amd) and no video, pc boots and goes into windows, but I have no video, so I plugged the monitor into the onboard video and viola, it works.
So, next I turn off dual graphics in the Catylist software, reboot pc to just use the 6670 until I get this figured out, plug the monitor into the video card, guess what...no video again. I can only get video from the mainboard, never from the 6670 video card.
I have been tinkering with this all weekend to no avail, its driving me nuts.
My setup:
MSI FM2-A55M-E33 Mainboard
AMD APU A8-5600K (Unlocked)
8 GB Kingston HyperX 1600 Mhz DDR3
MSI R6670 Video Card
Thermaltake TR2 600 watt PSU, 2X 12V Rails
Seagate Barracuda 640 GB HD
Lite-On DVD R/W
P.S, I laready updated the bios to ver 10.1, it didnt fix anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think you got the wrong card for "duel graphics".
I'm sure it can't be higher than a 6570 model with a A8-5600 and that's why it isn't working as it should!!
You can now only use the 6670 once you set i in the bios or simply try to exchange it for a 6570.
Yup, what you have integrated graphics: AMD Radeon HD 7560D, recommended what you need for dual graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6570
http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/dual-graphics/Pages/dual-graphics.aspx#3
Although that RAM is primarily meant for Intel Sandy Bridge system with 1600 XMP profile it's possible it may be OK for your system but you would have been better off getting RAM for AMD system instead. When trying for 1600 did you bump up voltage from 1.5V to a bit more like maybe 1.55 to see if it would run stable?
Research for proper component compatibility goes a long way to eliminate problems such as what you are having.

Msi fm2 a55m e33 build problem

Recently I helped a friend build a rig.
The setup as follows:
Case: cooler master elite 344 with usb 3.0
Mobo: msi fm2 a55m e33 / amd a6 6400k richland processor
Os: Windows 7 home premium 64-bit
The problem after I built finish, my friend complained of no sound.
I got her to download and install the latest system and chipset drivers but didn't help.
Got her to download and install the latest sound drivers from the msi driver page but still didn't help.
So I told her to check the case and she told me that there is a small black speaker that I didn't connect to the board. So I told her to connect it to jfp2 according to user manual. Still didn't work. I suppose that speaker is meant for the beep.
As far as I know about the audio aspect of the cm case, it has a hd audio and an ac 97 plug connected together into one single plug. Tried both on jaud1 but still failed.
Not exactly sure where the fault came from.

Quote from: willythecat on 09-September-11, 02:54:08
I went into task manager, selected view, cpu history, and then one graph per cpu. Then selected performance, which shows two graphs under cpu usage history, so l assume that's the two cores!
Looks like both cores are operating then.
Quote from: willythecat on 09-September-11, 02:54:08
- in your opinion do you think that l have got a better deal in the AMD Athlon II X2 as opposed to Sempron 140 single core?
Of course. Having two cores rather than one will give a nice boost. Particularly when multitasking for example. You'll notice a difference in various applications too, such as when gaming, video editing and photo editing.
Quote from: willythecat on 09-September-11, 02:54:08
- if l did flick the dip switch on the mobo to up the FSB by 10% will it change the dual core from 3.0 MHz to 3.3MHz?
I'm not into overclocking so not the person to ask really.

Problem in MSI FM2 A55M-E33 with sapphire R9 270x

Hi, I'm using A55M-E33 mobo with HD6670, I recently bought R9 270x, Before I bought it I checked diligently if it was compatible with the motherboard mentioned in the title, and it was listed as compatible.The gpu does indeed seat perfectly on the PCI-E slot but ONLY if I have the sata 1 and sata 2 cables disconnected from the motherboard.Is there any way to connect SATA cables ? I'm feeling unlucky Help me

you mean the card doesn't physically fit?
and interfere with sata ports/cables?
if so you can try to install angled sata cables instead, like those:

MSI H81M-E33 BIOS Issues and Post Flash Issues

Hello,
My situation is as follows: (TL:DR at bottom)
Built a new computer and decided to use the new LGA 1150 refreshed CPUs. Bought the MSI H81M-E33 Motherboard and installed windows. Noticed a problem with the rebooting even when installing windows. Thought it was just because of the windows installation, but problem persisted in which the computer seems to shut down but doesn't power down and i have to manually hold power button to power down and then push it again to start up. No real issues it seems since the computer does close processes and shut down but this was irritating me. I read online that BIOS updates seem to fix this problem. Did some research and decided to update with M-Flash to bios v6.6.
As I used M-flash to update to BIOS (selected "Select one file to update BIOS and ME") v6.6 the update stops at 47% and then the computer attempts to restart. BUT it still has the same problem and does not power down. So I manually powered down and started it back up. I then got "no signal" even as I waited. Now I'm freaking out and I power it down again and try again. This time I wait and it get to BIOS (MSI Screen) and then no signal again (not booting windows). Again I hold power down and power back on. Long wait again and I get back to bios. Still freaked out at this point but relieved I didn't brick motherboard.
Decide to flash v6.5 in case 6.6 was too new and might some problems. However v6.5 has the same problems; bios update stops at 47%, computer attempts to reboot, can't reboot, I power off, power on, no signal, power off, power on, wait a while and it gets to BIOS (MSI Screen), then boots to windows.
Right now the bios does read the bios version as v6.5 but I still have the issues in restarting where that doesn't really work. In addition, I now have this wait from pushing the power button to when I see BIOS (MSI Screen).
TL:DR
Had reboot problems decided to update BIOS
Used M-flash ("Select one file to update BIOS and ME") to update to v6.6
Update stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time nothing, freaked out, powered off, powered on, waited a while got to bios (Whew), checked for new version (it is).
Decided v6.6 might be too new decided to try v6.5 used M-Flash again
Again stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time, nothing, powered off powered on, waited a while got to bios, checked bios for new version (it is), save and exit, no signal, power off, power on, waited a while got to bios, then booted into windows
My concerns are;
I seem to still have reboot issue.
I have to wait for BIOS now, no longer pretty quick start.
My questions are;
Did I mess up the flashing somewhere?
Was stopping at 47% normal?
Should I try to update the BIOS another method to fix my current problems?
Am I missing a step somewhere?
Any help is appreciated, I just got really freaked out by the whole process but I'm just glad the computer still works (kinda).
Thanks in advance for any help, and apologies on the long essay just wanted to be as specific as possible.

MOVED: A55M-E33 Super Charge Not working.

This topic has been moved to MSI AMD boards.

Super Charger
Mobile consumer appliances are getting more and more attention in current day fast moving life style, with smart phones and tablets almost becoming a fashion accessory. However, many ordinary personal computers cannot charge some of these devices, making it difficult to stay connected. The MSI Super Charger is a Windows resident program capable of revising the power supply mode of your USB port to become more powerful. Once your phone or tablet is connected to your USB port, the Super Charger sends a signal to initiate its charging circuit, making it a really smart and convenient charging solution for mobile computing needs.
Note: Only front red USB ports support charger function after system off
Source: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/FM2-A55M-E33.html#hero-overview
I might be blind, but I don't see any red USB header on the motherboard I suggest you ask MSI, as for me it sounds as a mistake on the specification on the website.
Can you check your motherboard box if it says anything about it?
Apparently you should use red USB header, however: plug your case USB 2.0 header to motherboard's header and turn your PC off (just through Windows without switching power supply off) and plug your phone (USB) to case's USB that is connected to motherboard header. If it doesn't work, try the second USB 2.0 header on motherboard. Also make sure you have Utility "Super Charger" installed, available here: http://download.msi.com/uti_exe/SuperCharger_mb.zip

FM2 A55M E33 upgrade concerns.. :)

Hi just a few questions before i buy anything..
At the moment what I have is:
MSI FM2 A55M E33, AMD A8 - 5600K, 2 X 2GB 1333 RAM, Deepcool GAMMAX200 Heatsink, 500GB HDD, Generic 600w PSU, Cheap Case.
Now, I'm planning to upgrade the Video Card and RAM this week, and I don't know what to get.. But i think from what I plan I may need a new PSU and CASE.. (Will get Thermaltake Commander MS1 - this one, i think im sure)
My budget is below $300 (VGA, RAM, CASE, PSU).
The guy from the store told me that I would have a problem running 1600 RAMs on my FM2.. I didn't bother to ask him so I'm asking here..
Would a Powercolor HD 7790 work on my unit?
Im sure i would need to upgrade my PSU but how many watts should i get?
Thanks!

So something liker (Kingston HyperX Memory 2 x 4gb Ddr3-1600 Cl9) should work?
Yes
Quote from: thinkx on 14-September-13, 06:26:25
Would this PSU -- Seasonic S12ii-520 Power Supply 520watts S-Series -- be enough?
Yes but I would suggest you attempt to get a unit like that but around 600W as it will give you some headroom as that one is good on both but is close on the minimum wattage so may be a little unstable over time as it ages!
