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 add case cooling fan!

I plan to add another 2 case cooling fans to my 760GM-E51.
The fan's working current is 0.29mA, so the total current for 4 fans is 1.16A.
I want to know if the SYSFAN 3 pin connector has a current limit? And if it could damage my board?
Thanks!

I had a noisy fan and made my own speed reducer with 8V voltage regulator I had but the above works just as good and is free if you have the needed hardware.

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

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.

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.

Quote from: LudwigXII on 26-December-11, 04:53:22
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.

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.

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.

760GM-E51 No Sound & shows no audio devices installed-HELP

Friend put it together for me. MSI 760GM-E51 mobo, AMD/PH II X2 555 3.2G AM3 RT, PSU Antec BP550 Plus RT, Mem 4GB GSkill F3-10666CL9S-4GBRL-R. Everything seems to be fine except for no sound. Sound & audio devices in control panel show no device installed. Mobo is supposed to have Realtek HD, Installed software from MSI disk but still no recognition of device. Any help greatly appreciated.

Stand-offs are made of brass/copper/steel/plastic.
They are not rubber.
If there are some that have no matching hole in the motherboard, they short things.
You MUST use them, but only where the board has a hole to match it.

760gm-e51 not posting

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:
BIOS -> Standard CMOS... -> System Information:
"AMD Athlon II X4 64o Processor
CPUID/MicroCode 0100F53h/010000C8h
CPU Frequency 3.00GHz (200x15)
BIOS Version V1.10 02282011
Physical Memory 4096MB (* as I write this it says 4096 because I have tried removing sticks, etc and only put one stick back in the machine)
Cache Size 2048Mb
removed the graphics card that I was trying to use and am now using onboard graphics
What do I need to do to get this to POST? What more information can I provide to help?
Thanks.
D

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.

760gm-e51 turns on but no display or beeps

I have 785gm-e51 with a athlon x2 3.0ghz regor, 2x2gb ocz, SAPPHIRE 100253HDMI Radeon HD 4650 512MB, 250gb seagate, lite-on dvd/cd drive. all in a xion solaris ATX case w/ 450watt PSU.
I just built this computer and powered it on, Everything seems to be functioning, CPU/GPU fans running. the motherboard has 4 leds for the cpu stages. the first one stays solid, the other 3 slowly blink inconsistently, they'll all stay on for a few seconds then blink. I also haven't heard any beeps at all.
I simply cannot get it to display a picture to my monitor. haven't seen a display from it once yet.
I tried switching the ram around in multiple configurations. I tried resetting the cmos. I tried leaving only the basics plugged in, CPU+fan, mobo and gpu. I also reseated the cpu with new compound.
I don't know what else to do, any help would be appreciated, thanks

Quote from: MikeCough on 02-May-10, 07:28:23
I didn't want to take everything out of the case and assemble it, but I guess I'll have to. Would the motherboard power up at all if it was shorted somewhere?
Yes. It's a good idea to construct one out of the box first and then put it in the case after you've worked the kinks out. It is much easier that way. By the way, that 3.0 GHz regor is supported from bios 2.3 on. What bios is currently programmed? I assume you have not had it flashed so the bios chip should have the pertinent information on it. Post the full specs on the OCZ.
Edit: I once had one of my waterblocks grounding to the case. System ran perfectly for months. One day the system posted, booted into windows but would not display from that video card. I disassembled the case and saw where the waterblock had finally rubbed through the interior paint insulating the metal of the case from the waterblock. A little piece of insulating electrical tape solved the problem.

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?

Quote from: Henry on 07-January-12, 07:31:32
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 crossfire

I know it is possible to use hybrid crossfire with this board. Which most powerful video card I can use?
Maybe there is no point to use that crossfire ability, maybe it is better to buy a 9800 GeForce card..

9800 GTX is a decent card for 1280 X 1024 but the level of AA and AF depends on the game.
If you have a decent CPU 2,6Ghz X 2 you should be able to play almost anything (Crysis included).My 8800 GT(similar to 9800GT) let me play anything(before dieing).Problems may arrive ,little slowdowns, when playing Metro 2033 or Stalker latest ones when high detail is on,
You can try a 4850 or a 5770 as well they are powerfull enough as single cards for what games you have now on the market ,if the reslution is 1280 X 1024 -> 1600 X YYYY
For Crossfire you need ONLY ATI cards.

760GM-E51 locking up on heavy HDD usage

Please see hardware information in sig.
Everything was running smoothly for quite some time with the WD and Seagate SATA HDDs using IDE emulation (no Hitachi at this point). Over the last month the system has been locking up unexpectedly, no useful error reports in Windows to suggest the cause. The main factor appeared to be transferring large quantities of data between those two drives. So I look arround, found out about the WD issues w.r.t sleeping after only 8 seconds and TLDR, increased the sleep time to 5 minutes, the drive didnt support TLDR so I could not enable it.
For my own personal needs, and to aid the fault-finding I purchased the Hitachi 2tb drive, which I installed last night. Then moved both SATA drives from IDE emulation to AHCI, incase the TLDR difficulties were causing the SATA controller to drop the WD drive unexpectedly if it took too long to respond - which with IDE emulation could cause serious issues. Moved some data between the WD and Seagate (~10gb, which was normally enough to trigger the problem), nothing happened, which was a good sign. I then left the Hitachi drive formatting, and during this time decided to stream a video over the WiFi connection. A few minutes in the video stops, the SAMBA shares are disconnected, and the machine no longer responds to ping. At the machine there is no response to keyboard or mouse, and the HDD activity light is solid red - the lock-ups are still occurring, exactly sa before. I should clarify that at this point if the TFT was not on, switching on the TFT tends to result in a large gray image, at supposedly the correct resolution.
I have run Prime95 for many hours, with seperate instances for all 4 cores (+ correct affinity settings), at both "In-place large FFTs" (max heat & power consumption), and Blend (max ram tested), with no problems. I believe I have also run memtest, but can double-check if necessary. I have also used the machine extensively for numerical simulation with no problems. It would seem that if this was a CPU or power issue there would be other side-effects, and more obvious crashes. I am left stuck with the situation that I believe it is either one of the harddrives behaving badly - and the SATA controller handling this inappropriately, or a chipset issue.
I do have a byte-for-byte copy of the OS, and could install it on the hitachi drive, but frankly something more light-weight might be preferable for this fault-finding exercise. Are my assumptions so far appropriate? How should I proceed? Please advise.
Thanks in advance

You really do not know how memory works do you?
Please dont be condescending.
Quote from: Bas on 03-July-11, 02:33:33
The memory that is being used in Desktop is unbuffered and non-ECC, as such it takes 1 unstable cell to cause an BSOD instandly.
Ofcourse it depends a bit on the instruction, but be sure you will see BSOD's every time you hit that cell.
This does not match my own experience, the experience of others I know who do a fair degree of overclocking (and hence have to avoid these instabilities), or match my understanding of how the average OS works. There is no reason why a BSOD should occur when a single address comes back with the wrong value - that is utter nonsense, that is also the reason why you dont see BSODs whenever a buffer overflow occurs. Corrupting areas of memory by screwing up a pointer in C has basically the same effect as simulating a single error from unstable memory, and that is highly unlikely to cause a BSOD. If you start overwriting data in kernel mode there is plenty of reason to believe the OS will crash, but in user mode? it is unlikely to have a major effect at all. It is only because failing RAM tends to error at such a high rate that these kinds of crashes occur, (equivalent to eventually addressing something important and the usual error-handling failing). We are not talking about chips which are consistently returning bad data, we are talking about instability, the rate of that instability has a massive impact on its outcome.
Quote from: Bas on 03-July-11, 02:33:33
It's not a massive over-generalisation, as these are not servers that have ECC (Error-Correction-Code), buffering or registering of memory.
Bad memory in desktops is a hit -> wrong data -> BSOD thing
Server memory is different: hit -> ECC-check -> bad cell -> rewrite due to ECC corrective code -> placed in new cell -> deliver correct data.
Your system will NOT run for hours without a BSOD if your memory is bad.
Memory is NOT your problem, 100% sure of that.
This makes no sense, I have already explained that Memtest failed, by definition this means that an address in memory returned an incorrect value. According to your reasoning I should already be experiencing BSODs constantly. This is clearly not what is happening. Having said that, the memory returning the wrong value is clearly incorrect behaviour, and even if it were not causing the lock-ups, this is evidence of the system being unstable. Im not sure why you are so forcibly trying to argue with this.
Quote from: Bas on 03-July-11, 02:33:33
As for Smart, I can show you plenty drives where Smart reports nothing and the drive is bad, I can also show you drives where Smart reports it's bad and the drive is trouble free.
Smart is a dumb as a duck, but for companies useful as when it tells you it's bad it's saver to replace the drive before it does go bad.
Smart is not a trustworthy mechanism, it consist of counters that try to predict the future, nothing more nothing less.
Test your harddisks with the manufacturer tools, pretty sure it will find the bad one....it is NOT your memory.
I referred to SMART because that is what cronnin was making me check. Im fully aware that SMART is not a definite indicator of the health of the harddrive, and I never claimed it was, that was not in response to your comments.
I am trying my best to be cordial, but am unhappy with the tone and accuracy of some of these posts, which makes it very difficult to counter your argument in a civilized manner. I dont want this thread to devolve into a heated argument and I dont have any personal problem with you. Can we please have another moderator check over these posts and clean up this situation? It seems to me that if we still want to discuss this memory matter, it would be better suited to PM so as not to clutter this thread. Do you think that is a sensible course of action?

MOVED: OS doesn't boot if IOAPIC is enabled in BIOS on 760GM-E51

This topic has been moved to Linux/Unix.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145547.0

I would like some more info on your system to help you. What is the exact model of your power supply? What is the maximum output rating, in amps, on the +12V output? This is very important. It sounds like you might be on the edge and under certain circumstances, it isn't enough to get everything started correctly. It sounds like you are getting intermittent memory errors and that can be caused by a weak power supply. Also, are you OC'ing? If so, what settings are using, I am interested mostly in your HTT speed and the vo,tages you are running the RAM and CPU at.
Also, I noticed that you have corsair RAM. Corsair RAM has 100% satisfaction guarantee on their RAM. As long as you haven't physically altered the PCB, they will replace or refund your money. You should have no problem getting either a replacement or your money back.
good luck!!

Non Graphic card in 760GM-E51 PCIe x16 Slot

Why can't I use the on board graphics and attach a PCIe x2 or x4 SATA controller in the PCIe x16 slot? Any non graphic board is simply ignored.

Quote from: Bollwerk on 24-December-10, 03:39:17
That did it! Apparently, the bridge chip changes it between x16/x1 and x8/x8. Once I switched it to x8/x8 (SLI mode), the Asus card was recognized.
Thanks!
Almost, it changes the slots from x16/x0 to x8/x8
Nice to hear you got it sorted out
Merry Christmas and best wishes
