MSI Z68A-GD65 G3 Power On after Ac Power loss how to turn it off?

Hi,
I want my computer to stay off when the power go down. But it is automatically powering on after Ac power loss even though I set in BIOS to stay off. Any ideas? Happened twice already.
SPECS:
i5 2500k
MSI Z68 ZD65 BIOS v23.6
Antec 400W Seasonic S12-II based PSU
Power On After Ac Power Loss Option in bios is "OFF"
Thanks.

Restore after AC Power Loss
This item specifies whether your system will reboot after a power failure or interrupt
occurs. Settings are:
[Power Off] Always leaves the computer in the power off state.
[Power On] Always leaves the computer in the power on state.
[Last State] Restore the system to the status before power failure or interrupt
occurred.
If you have this properly configured as you indicate in your post, try a full cmos clear and set it back and to re-test.
If that is of no help, what bios version do you have installed?

Z68A-GD65 (G3) Memory problems after BIOS update

Good day, i'm russian, so sorry for my english.
Friend of mine had MSi Z68A-GD65 (G3), i5-2500K, memory pair 2*2GB with bios 22.8 (latest version with no red letters about ME8 and IvyBridge).
He decided to upgrade the processor to IvyBrydge and updated bios with new ME8. Then the computer went into a state of continue restarting every 3 seconds. After replacing the CPU to the new Ivy - computer works good, the impression is that the computer does not understand Sandy now and switched toIvy. But it has seen only one of memory pair. My friend just bought a new motherboard. Now he has no problems. I took his MB and SandyBridge CPU.
Flashing the bios to the old version by M-Flash - it does not see the BIOS file, although it is there (in the root, FAT, 2G). Flashed it under dos with AFUDE238 with a key -x, it said about mismatched ROM ID. After the old BIOS flashing (with an Ivy) computer went three-second reset mode. CPU changed to Sandy i5-2500K - now works good. By the way, now M-Flash see the firmware on a flash drive - I flashed it again from the M-Flash, just in case, reset the settings.
What is the problem: if I set the memory into the slot 3 or 4, the computer goes into a three-second reboot, it does not matter is the memory in the first two slots or no. If this memory is inserted in the first two slots - all ok. So I work now - in the first two slots with no dual-channel mode.
The feeling is that the problem appeared after first flashing to Ivy and remained after flashing back to Sandy.
Question 1: What to do to get working the memory slots?
Question 2: Is BIOS 22.8 - the latest which I will have with Sandy? (There is a problem now when the computer starts - 1 times out of 10 will not boot - reset is helping, and the BIOS at starting not very fast).
There are posts about people with the same MB and the CPU and the new BIOS (25.2) that supports Ivy. I'm confused. It means I can use the new firmware from SandyBridge. But there are many posts about problems with new firmware. Where is the true?
Just checked BIOS version - P.1 (25.1) 2012-04-16 - by the way with Ivy support. But I flashed with 22.8, I'm sure. ME version in BIOS isn't shown, but while booting - ME 7.0
What does it mean? Can it be repaired? What should I do?

Thanks to all. My system is working fine now.
What it was. I flashed BIOS with tool from this forum. Bios flashed good, but problem still was here. Then I flashed to the first bios version from support site. And again flashed ok but memory still not working in slots 3 and 4. Then I decided to flash back to last flash with Sandy support 22.8 (or 23.8). Then I flashed to the last bios at all - 25.4. Flashed it from dos - this was pretty long. It rebooted 3 times (ME updated too). I still don't know - what it was with first flashing to Ivy. Now it's ok.
So I decided the problem is bent pin. With magniglass and needle I've found some uncertain pins (these were not BENT, but slightly bent) and touched these with my needle. And that was the answer. Now all works fine. Thank you all.
On the russian msi forum no one answered and helped me at all.

It having some performance issue after i updated the bios to new version n.30, before this was original version 23.0 come with motherboard.
I updated the bios using msi live update on yesterday.
What i noticed after updating to new bios, i can feel the performance had drop, when lauching a program, and sometime when typing webpages address or in the google typing word, what happen was the word seem to appearing slow to display. Not sure what happen.
I hope you guys can help me out, and please advise me what to do.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Raja

If the system was working, why did you update the BIOS ?
If the previous BIOS worked for you, then flash back to that BIOS. Use the forum flasher >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Once you have flashed the BIOS do a CMOS clear. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) Boot Loop

Hello all,
I purchased a MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) and when I started up it goes into a boot loop. I can't see anything on the screen.
Setup
- Motherboard MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3)
- Intel Core i3 Ivy Bridge 3220 3.30GHz 3MB Cache LGA 1155 55W Dual-Core Processor
- Kingston ValueRAM RAM Module - (2 x 8 GB) - DDR3 SDRAM - 1600 MHz DDR3-1600/PC3-12800 - Non-ECC - Unbuffered - CL11 - 240-pin DIMM
- COOLER MASTER Elite Power 400W OEM 20+4 pin & 4+4 pin ATX 12V V2.31 12cm fan Eco-friendly Reliability Quiet Noise Filter 70% efficiency
BIOS stated in the green labels below the "MSI" Heatsink is: E7681 IMSN10.
I tried another PSU and had the same issue.
Anybody can help me? Thank you very much for your time!

Your mainboard does not support an Ivy Bridge processor with the current bios that's why it doesn't come up. It needs a P series bios (7681vP1 and above).
There is no other way than to use any Sandy Bridge cpu to flash bios to the latest to make your cpu work: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z68A-GD65--G3-.html#/?div=BIOS

If you can't get a hand at a Sandy you need to let any PC shop or MSI do it for you (that's not for free of course). >>How to contact MSI.<<

MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) videocard running @ 8x instead of 16x

Videocard MSI GTX 580 Lightning Xtreme Edition 3072MB 290.36 beta drivers tryed other ones as well still the same.
Asus Xonar Essence STX Sound Card this is pcie and is in the other blue videocard slot could this be the reason why my card is not running at 16x

Ok what ive done now is fit my videocard in the second blue 16x slot and put my soundcard in the pcie 3 and it still says its running at 8x will remove the soundcard and report back.
Edit:videocard is back in pcie2 running 16x but now i cant fit the soundcard in pcie1 cpu heatsink gets in the way,pcie3 is covered by the videocard as it takes up 2 slots amd pci34 the videocards fans come into contact when the soundcard is installed there.
After spending £140 on a pcie soundcard i would need to get a pci one and thats not going to happen so ill have to run @8x
Panic over all running ok now installed the soundcard in pcie3 and moved the bracket over just enough to miss the fans on the videocard.

MSI Z68A-GD65 - receive msg BiosRomCheck - Driver cant load!

Just installed the MSI Z68A-GD65 MB,
and then installed all drivers off of the included cd.
Once Windows starts I receive a popup that says:
BiosRomCheck - Driver can't load!
I click 'ok' and all is well, but this can't be right.
Has anyone seen this before?
Everything else is fine with the MB.
thanks

It's something from MSI's driver CD/DVD that you have installed.

When i connect my headphone the sound still exists
It also occurs when i start up some applications and the hard drive is busy.
I tried enable/disable eup2013 and c1 and intel c1 etc... nothing works
With or without overclock it doesn matter.
Does anybody have a suggestion how to fix this problem? Thank you! Please help;-)

Sounds like a bad earth somewhere.
Is that a wired mouse ? Have you tried another mouse and keyboard ?
Can you test the board outside the case, on a non-conducting surface. No device used for the test to be mounted in the case.

MSI Z68A-GD65 G3 - Over Clock

And meanwhile i want to OC i7-2600K - using OC Genie default setting at bios to 4.2ghz
Since i'am using the cooling fan provided by intel original, would you advisable to overclok or must get better cooling fan or not?
I'am mainly using for video conversion/editing purpose. Gaming not much.....
Looking forward to hear from you soon

around 77 to 79 celcius.
That is what you need to expect with a stock cooling. Around 80°C are not in the real critical temperature range (red range: probably 85-95°C). The CPU has its own thermal management and will shut down itself automatically as soon as it reaches its thermal shutdown point (95-105°C). As soon as the core temperatures get close to the shutdown point, the CPU will automatically clock itself down and lower the Core Voltage. In case that is not enough to cool itself down, it will shut off.
So basically, you will know when the temperatures get critical as soon as the CPU decides to clock itself down under full load.
However, allowing to run the CPU @80°C on a regular basis, is probably not something you want to do. Please consider a cooling solution more appropiate to your overclocking ambitions.

MSI Z68A-GD65 won't start to bios!

gratz from Finland guys.
I have problem, heres my pack:
MSI z68a-gd65
i5 3450
hyperx predator 8gb 2x4gb rams
asus gtx660 pci-e 2gb
2tb seagate
650w corsair
and the problem, i installed up the components today and got it working first without detecting SATA 2tb seagate. Then i switched to all sata ports and the last one 8 and 7 worked fine for seagate and Asus DVD. But now the problem is that it lets me in marvell bios when it shows up the harddisk and dvd, but not in the "primary bios". When it shows the first data, harddisk and dvd, it goes straight to "Warning BIOS ME file not found install on the usb" etc... I dont know what to do because i read all the forums in the internet, wasted 6 hours in investigating internet and found nothing. Have tried the flash utilitys, USB flasher utility found in forums and all... Reseting BIOS didnt help.
Please help, im getting drunk every hour more with this cra*

Sdrastvui Svet, jeshli s toboj realno 4eres skaip pogovorit, skin poshalushta svoj nick tam.
As i know, the board was in the warranty fix, and became back to shop, where i buyed it. But the shop gave everyone who would buy the board, 6months warranty so i dont think it would be broken.
Also for the flashing, i dont have OS on that system, what we are talking about. And if i download those BIOS from the MSI site, its only EXE? I cant run exe from USB flash when starting PC?

MSI Z68A-GD65 (B3) - Start-up issue.

Hey there! I just got a new processor, motherboard, case, and power supply for my birthday. Here are my specs:
Z68A-GD65 B3 Mobo
12GB Ram
i5-3570k processor 1155
2TB HDD
Optical Drive
650W Powersupply
I just put it all together, and what do you know, a problem...
I press the power button, and all the sudden it turns on. Then after 3-4 seconds, it turns off. Then after 2 seconds, turns back on again, then 3-4 seconds back off, then on again, you get the point. Its as if the POWER button is always pushed in. Yet, i have since then unplugged the case, tried it a million times, and NOTHING seems to work. Maybe its the power button malfunctioning on the MOBO...?
I need some help! Feel free to ask any questions. I will be on constantly to check this.
Thanks ,
Josh ...

That board is end of Lifetime for a long time. If you bought it now it was resting in the shop for quite a while. No B3 board comes with Ivy Bridge support out of the box. You need a Sandy Bridge cpu to flash it or let it be flashed by a shop or MSI. Else this will not work. It can't boot with an i5-3570k right now.

when i reset the cmos..on first second and third boot the BIOS led flashes..but on fourth it remain stable in that brief time it is powered.
Could you clarify this a little? You mean the BIOS LED stays full off, or it is on steady?

BIOS Version: E7760IMS 1.7
Hi guys,
I'm in trouble! I have just assembled my new system with the components listed above. When I plug in the power supply I'm able to start the it. It runs for 1 to 2 minutes and I can call up the BIOS for instance. Everything seems to be fine. But then it crashes and tries to restart and get stuck on the POST code "dE" (I know, such a POST code doesn't exists...) When I turn it off, I'm not able to start again until I unplug the power supply for 10 minutes.
I have tried to start it with only one DDR3-RAM in DIMM one. I have already cleared the CMOS a couple of times with a jumper. I have removed the CMOS battery for a while, I have tried all 4 RAM's in DIMM 1....
It would be great if someone has an idea what's going on here. I go insane
Thanks,
Selwy

dammit! It's the PSU!! How is that possible!?
I have installed a old 550W Enermax PSU and it worked with all the new components - msi board, PNY Quadro, i73930k...
What I really don't understand is, why did the PSU worked with my old VGA this afternoon? It had a 6-pin connector too.
What do you guys think I should do now? Send to PSU back to Corsair and ask for a new one - same version? Or would it be better to get one from another brand? Or is there something I can test or adjust on the PSU before I send it back? Or is it even "broken enough" to send it back? I mean, it works - a little bit
Once again, thank you very much to all of you for your help!!

MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) 99.8MHz bug, temporary fix to make it 100MHz

With the current available official and beta bios, when disabling spread spectrum, the bus speed does not increase from 99.8MHz to 100MHz, I have messaged MSI support again to look into this with the current 23.4B4 Beta Bios.
Anyway I have found a fix for this, download the latest Control Center v2.2.0036 off the MSI website.
If your CPU Base Frequency is at default in bios 10000 you will see 98.8MHz on CPU-Z so in Control Center change the Base Clock (MHz) to 100.2 MHz and click save.
If your CPU Base Frequency is at 10010 you will see 100.2MHz on CPU-Z so in Control Center change the Base Clock (MHz) to 100MHz and click save.
Either way when you reboot it will always show 100MHz.

Thanks for posting this, and creating the thread, Nelly
I just use the 10010 bclk bios setting, but that band-aid solution doesn't net an even 100.0MHz.
My earlier attempts at contacting support about the 98.8 issue just get the generic "disable spread spectrum" reply. Some of the earlier bios for my previous MSI P67-G43 board gave me the correct 100MHz bus speed for that board, but it also changed to 98.8 with the later bios releases.
But even the "first" "00" bios for the Z68A-GD65 G3 has the 98.8 flaw, as does every single bios that MSI has issued for this board, beta or otherwise, since.

Granted you might get away with it. But the next person that reads this & uses that for everyday may not be so lucky. If games, applications, programs, & whatever else can't be done on what 1.400v's can provide for a decent performance level, the rest is just for show. That 'is not' a low low voltage for a 4.8. One of the test rigs here & a 2600k will do 4.8 on only 1.392v's with 4 cores & 8 threads & never miss a beat. If really serious about everyday maximum performance on 'real' low low voltage, get a 2700k!
Rather impressive voltage for 4.9 with that 2700K
It takes 1.390v. in the bios for my 2500K to do a 12hr. P95 run with no errors, at a much lower 4.6GHz.
