770-c45 won´t post.

hi guys!!!
well... yesterday i go to the shop and buy a whole system by parts. i get home to setup everything and i get nothing.
the system turns on with the first led on and that´s all. fans are working and the lights of my case too.
msi 770-c45
amd athlon II X4 640
asus eah5770
4gb kit ocz ddr3 pc3-10666 gold (low voltage)
the psu it's a generic one of "500W".
i asked in the shop about this, and they told me that i shouldn't have any problem with that PSU.
i tried everything already. 1 ram stick in every slot. without video card. without ram, without cpu... out of the case.
nothing changes. always the first led is on. the fans too and no beeps at all. all power cables connected.
i´ve been reading for hours and i just cant find any solution. so any help will be very apprecciated.
greetings from germany.

Well, that is what the shop says. It does not mean anything. After all it is a theory, nothing more. What you need to do is an actual test.
yeah, i know that. it will be an issue if the generic PSU doesn't have enough power. but to don't post at all??? even a beep without the ram or anything on it. (it should be)
my first thougth was to test another PSU but i can't, unless i go and buy a new one.
i had read a lot about this MB and this same issue. but i cant find a why or a solution.

Have you connected the CPU power cable?
of course.

MSI 770 C45 won't post.

Hello,I just bought and built my new PC but it won't boot, the fans and the LED on the motherboard will turn on but nothing else happens, no beeping noise and the display gets no signal and the reset and power buttons nor the LEDs won't work. And when I plug my 4 pin connector to the motherboard it won't start at all.
My PC:
Amd Phenom II x4 955 3.2 gh
MSI 770 c45
Kingston ValueRAM 2GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 Dual Channel Kit
HIS Radeon HD4850
Samsung 500GB SATA-II 7200 rpm 16MB SpinPoint F3
Seasonic S12II-520 Bronze 520W
I've searched the other posts, but I've already done that and it still doesn't work. And I think my PSU is more than capable to deliver the power for this system.

It did work outside of the case, my display turned on and I was too lazy to plug the PCIx connector to the graphic card and I started installing the mainboard back to the case, and now I get the same black screen with or without the PCIx connector plugged. But now I can start the PC with the 4 pin connector in, all the 4 blue LEDs on the motherboard are on and the power LED on the case is on too now. And I can turn off the PC by holding the power button.
When mounting the board to the PC case take attention to this one marked with red:
     Motherboard Grounding to case causing No Post
Test the motherboard outside of the case to verify that the motherboard is not shorting to the case and causing a problem
   •    With only the CPU and heat sink, memory, and video card (or onboard video) connected to the motherboard, place the motherboard on a non-conductive surface and retest the motherboard
   •    Check the case mounting standoffs to verify that they are lining up correctly with the mounting holes on the motherboard.

Msi 770-C45 problem. not posting

Dear MSI,
i have got exact same problem as in https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129732.0
when i start computer cpu, gpu, psu everything works but nothing shows up on monitor. it's not gpu problem. i tried everything, no result. what's more interesting, when i switch off power supply and switch it back again, computer starts automatically. i thought it was because of power button, but no. any ideas? thanks!
-mobo: msi 770-C45
-cpu: AMD Phenom2 x3

-psu: OCZ 600 MXSP

Do you also have a vga? What means Mushkin ddr3? Number of sticks? Mushkin Model? Exact cpu model name?
Also we won't read through that old thread so describe for yourself. As you are saying dear MSI let me remind you that this is a Users-to-Users Forum so you are not talking to MSI.

New Build 770-G45 won't post

Hi,
I doing a new build for a friend, I've built 4 systems to date but haven't had much trouble so I don't have much experience trouble shooting.
This is the issue so far, if I clear the CMOS when I boot up everything seems fine, the bios posts, I can enter setup, and everything seems to be recognized.
Once I save and re-boot I get the splash screen followed by a blinking cursor on a blank screen, in other words the bios won't post.
I'm wondering if I have a problem with my memory (see specs below), I've noticed the mainboard recognizes it as 1333, I read the sticky on memory, but I'm still not sure what to do here.
Thanks

Looks like I should have researched this RAM more carefully, it looks like it only works for AMD 785 series and higher.
Do you guys agree?

MSI 770T-C45 won't post after flashing BIOS with M-FLASH

After flashing AMIBIOS 8.3 to v8.7 with M-FLASH via USB stick I can't get any post.
Had I read this forum before I wouldn't have done it, but here I am.
Fan starts, LEDs are off, no beeps at all, power button does nothing. Black screen.
After force flashing (yes, I am THAT stupid) the prompt said it would reboot in 5 seconds and after that nothing.
Here's my setup:
Board: MSI 770T-C45
Original Bios: v8.3
Flashed Bios: v8.7 (flashed with M-FLASH)
VGA: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
PSU: Enermax FMAII EG465AX-VE 460W
CPU: AMD Phenom x4 9650
MEM: Kingston DDR2-667 4x2GB KVR667D2N5/2G
HDD: SAMSUNG 840 SSD 250GB
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64bit
I tried every CMOS clearing method found in previous posts and threads (including this and this.)
1. Unplugged from power, waited 5 minutes, removed the battery (5mins), changed jumper position (5min), switched it back (5min), plugged it in (5min) and powered up with and without USB stick in the hub next to network hub with old BIOS (v8.3) inside. Pressed CTRL+HOME, anything, not a single message or beep or LED flashing.
Also I removed all RAMs and kept one in the first socket. Nothing.
I really don't know what to do next. What seems to differ from other users is LEDs non working, what does that mean?

The problem here is that after update 8.6 the m-flash module was updated, so yes your mobo is a brick, but there is still hope for it. I had the same situation a few days ago with the exact same model and was able to recover it by following the steps on listed on the below posts:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133578.0
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129989.0
It may seem complicated at first, but trust me its not at all.
Anyways you probably already have another mobo, send it for RMA or used it as frisbee, but it may come handy for some other doing the same noob flashing as we did

770-C45 not POSTING but powers ON (fans & lights working)

Alright guys, I received my parts (cheap upgrade build) yesterday and connected it all up only to find a 'NO SIGNAL' message on my monitor.
Specs are as follows:
MSI 770-C45
AMD Athlon II x4 620
2GB DDR3 1600mhz Hyperx Memory Cl9(9-9-9-27)
Zotac 9800GT Eco Edition (Does not require cable from PSU)
Hiper TypeR 530W PSU
I initially connected all my components (3x SATA HD drives, 1x SATA DVD drive) but later tried going down the basic route (components stated above) but still to no avail. I am able to power everything ON as all the fans are working and the 'ActivePhase LED1' turns blue but when connected to my monitor it stays blank and goes into sleep mode after displaying the 'NO SIGNAL' message. I then tried switching the PC off but both the power button and restart button seem to be frozen (even after holding the power button down) so I resorted to the swith on the PSU itself.
So far i've tried:
1. Taking everything out and reconnecting/checking cables
2. Using a different GPU (my old 7800GT) which still gave my the same outcome (No signal).
3. Clearing the CMOS using the jumper
4. Changing the RAM position (from DIMM1)
So i'm basically stumped as to what to do next Any ideas guys?

Did you connect the 12V CPU power?
You've gotta be kidding me!!! I foolishly thought the CPU power was the one next to the main M/B one as it was a 4 pin but after searching the motherboard for another 4pin CPU socket it was right there next to the CPU!!! How could I have missed that! (Mind you the black PCB does camouflage the black sockets...)
Thanks a lot for the right solution

MSI 770-C45 - Windows Install stuck on 'system is starting windows'

Hello,
I am trying to get a machine setup, everything seems to be booting fine and nothing wrong hardware wise. When I attempt to install Windows XP Pro SP1 or Windows 7 Pro, I don't get to the 'select partition' step. It gets stuck on 'system is starting windows' each time.
I have flashed the bios to the latest (1.4) and it didn't help it either. When looking online I just find too many individual problems and answers to this issue. I am at work now so when I get home I will update with more info as well as try a few more troubleshooting steps.

As a note, I am troubleshooting a friends computer that he was setting up. Further troubleshooting steps by me:
Fredrik, I was unable to find the speed/memory handling option in the BIOs to change it down to UDMA2.
I don't have a spare set of DDR3 Ram to test that out. Have a spare PSU to test with but haven't done that yet.
Switched out the DVD Drive to a Lite-On IT Corp. Model LH-52C1P DVD burner and it got stuck on 'Setup is loading files (Windows Executive)'
Attempted to switch out the IDE Cable for the DVD Drive and found I couldn't put a new one into the Motherboard.
Seems two pins (one over the other on the far left side) are bent just a little out of place and are loose. Looks like I might need to exchange the board for a new one by the looks of it.

MSI 770-C45 Gameport compatibility

The problem:
I have an MSI 770-C45 mainboard and want to use the gameport on an Ensoniq ES1370. I can't get it to work in any way. I think the cause may be the mainboard reserving hardware address 201 for its own purposes (at least Windows XP tells me so, range 0x201 - 0x201 conflicts with "Motherboard resources" twice). Am I correct on this? Is there any way to get the gameport to work?

That thing must be more than 10 years old and drivers are probably no good for XP. Creative took over the company so you would need to check with them if there are updated drivers.

It works flawlessly under XP (Professional) on another computer with an AMD processor, though that computer is less recent . Think Athlon 2600+, GeForce FX5200 and so on.
Quote from: Stu on 21-May-10, 06:35:50
Why do you need the gameport? If its for a game controller, why not treat yourself to a modern USB one? As Henry says, I've not seen any devices that connect to a gameport for 10 years or so now...
There is that; it may not be worth the effort to get the old gameport gamepad working.
Quote from: Mike on 21-May-10, 07:37:29
Yes, there are converters.

=) Those are more expensive than a shiny new USB gamepad.

770-c45 + Phenom II 955 upgrade headache

I purchased a Phenom II X4 955 CPU to replace my Athlon II X2 245 CPU. I have an MSI 770-C45 motherboard.
So, I opened up my PC and got to work. I changed the CPU, but when I tried to turn it on it wouldn't even post. All the fans spun but nothing else happened.
I concluded that it must be because the BIOS was a little old so I put the old CPU back in and it booted fine. I then updated the BIOS to the most recent version. Everything was working flawlessly.
So then I swapped the CPU's again. Unfortunately the problem seems to persist. My PC simply will not post with the 955 but does so without a problem with the athlon.
I really do not know what to think. Is there anything that I could be missing? I did double check my power connections and my PSU is definitely good enough (500W Antec).
Thank you for your time

770-C45 Mobo

I recently bought a 770-C45 Mobo and am have a ridiculously hard time setting it up. The user guide is less than worthless and there is no good tech support at the MSI web site. I recently built the system and have the following hardware:
AMD Sempron 140 CPU
GeForce 7900GS video card
4GB Corsair DDR3 PC-10666 ram
Liteon ide DVD burner
250GB Seagate Momentous HDD
450W PSU
Everything seems fine when turned on - POST passes, but Windows starts, then drops out and resets. I can't figure out how to boot from the DVD, there is no boot order that I can find. Also the SATA HDD does not show up in the BIOS, but the machine still passes POST and starts to load OS. This is making me nuts. Will appreciate any help.

First off, I found the boot order in BIOS and set the first boot to the DVD. As I was writing this I rebooted the machine and now it's working fine. The SATA HDD is now showing in BIOS and Windows starts fine. I have no idea what was wrong before as I did nothing except reboot one more time. After restarting and shutting down and restarting several times, there doesn't seem to be any issues at all. Maybe it's just a ghost in the machine. I bought the board on eBay so hopefully this isn't some recurring problem and is the reason it was being sold. Thanks for your quick reply. If the problem recurs I'll be back.

MSI 770 C45 with Phenom 955 - Random freezing

Hi,
I recently bought the 770 C45 with an AMD Phenom 955 and I have had endless problems. I get random BSOD's, particularly when I am running processor intensive applications. I can’t seem to get the timings and voltage correct in the BIOS, I tweak it slightly and it seems ok for a couple of days then the BSOD's will start again, I tweak again and it’s fine for a few more days then problems start again. A vicious circle! Can anyone recommend BIOS settings I can try to help with this problem? I have looked all over the net and tried many suggestions but as of yet I cannot find the correct settings. I have read plenty of threads on this forum before posting this but couldn’t find anything that I haven’t already tried.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Mark.

Thanks for all the advice.
Tried with 1 stick and the system was alot more stable, no BSOD's or any kind of freezing. I ran prime95 overnight with 1 stick and all was fine, if I insert another stick the system is still stable but I get an error in prime95 after a few minutes.

Re-test the each stick alone. [You may have defective stick]
If each one is stable at his own, before fill all 4 DIMM's:
* Leave Memory timings to Auto
* Ensure 2T is used
* Drop memory freq. to 1066
* Apply memory voltage recommended by memory vendor

put this together last night, it's my 8th pc build but 1st am3/ddr3. it will not post. tried ram in all
ways (single and double). the m/b has 4 blue led lights that are all lit so i suppose the power is good. can't get to bios to see if cpu is doa. any suggestions? i don't get any beeps from speaker.
edit: btw my old m/b (nforce 4) had a separate 4pin power(not to be confused w/ the 6pin on card) connection for the pci-e slot. i cannot find this on this m/b so i assumed it doesn't require it.

i got my rma'd m/b back. it works great. had to place 1 2gb stick in dimm 3 to get it to post though. the manual says to use 1 stick in dimm 1 to ensure successful post. obviously this is incorrect. overclocks great btw... my phenom II 955 b.e. is running @ 3.8 ghz and still idles 38 celsius 55 full load

now, like a month ago i posted a topic about the same, my sys ramdomly freezing, but because I;m one of those that hate to real manuals, I made a stupid mistake, I was using 3 sticks of memory, so I worked with 3 gb ddr3 at 1066, it worked fine, now aprox 3 weeks ago I bought the other stick like you guys says, but still the same problem, when I set the speed even to auto on the bios, which is 1333, the computer freezes randomly, it can be while I'm playing, whatching hd movies, using msn messenger. there's no pattern.
I tought I was the psu, i had a crappy 550w logisys, just crap, I't was kinda funny because when my system was under 50% of load, the psu smell was horrible, I was expecting fireworks soon so I bought my new baby. the corsair tx750w, but I set the sticks at 1333, run amd fusion, run crysis, after 30 min, I had to do something else, close amd fusion, and boom, it frozze.
any idea guys what can be?

actually my processor is running pretty well [ 35 idle - 45-50 load ]
might be the mobo?
I will be upgrading to a 790gx pretty soon anyways to do crossfire.

MSI 770-C45 Constant BSOD

Hi,
About a month ago I updated my video card drivers, bios and chip set drivers to their latest versions. After doing this my system has become increasingly more unstable giving me BSOD with PFN_LIST_CORRUPT and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT reasons. I am also getting a lot of application crashes (Explorer, Display Device, Direct Show) and freezes.
The BSOD's seem to disappear sometimes for a few days (usually after I've gone into safe mode to check something) and then after a cold boot come back again.
My first thought was that this is due to the display driver as the system can be completely stable when running from a DVI connection and then gives these BSOD's when the HDMI connection with HDMI audio is connected. However after lots of good support from ATI/AMD they are pointing the finger at other hardware (memory/motherboard).
I have run memtest86+ against my OCZ Gold 12800 Dual Channel however it shows no errors. I checked my timings and found them to be off: had 7-7-7-16 in BIOS and 6-6-6-15 in CPUID (anyone know why these would be different). So I changed the settings to force 8-8-8 (could not change TRAS so it is still showing as 16 rather than 24). I also read a few other forum posts that boosted the voltage to the NB and DRAM... therefore I set the voltage to the NB CPU at 1.6 (max before red) and DRAM at 1.63 (max before red). I also changed the spread spectrum to disabled and forced the 1T/2T to 2T. However after all these changes, the system has become slightly more stable (would run a few benchmarks) but would then crash again while doing something random (playing a game or using notepad) with another BSOD with MEMORY MANAGEMENT error.
Anyone know what settings I should be using for my OCZ3G16002G? Could the fact that the memory states 1.7 volts and I can only set 1.63? Could it be that I cannot seem to change the TRAS and it seems to auto set it to 16? Any other ideas?
I'm at a loss with this system, any help would be much appreciated.

Hi,
I have a 500 watt Coolermaster 80+ PSU. The memory is 2 DIMMS of OCZ3G16002G (by OCZ) rated for 8-8-8-24. I have no overclocking running... if fact this is a media system and thus I am running AMD cool and quiet.
I am running Win 7 64 bit with latest updates.
As further information, tonight I tried to change the memory timings again, but can only set the CAS, TRCD and TRP. I don't seem to be able to change the TRAS (states auto in bios and defaults to 16). When running benchmarks on the system tonight, the crashes appear less frequent but happen after the system is placed under more stress. I have also started to see two new BSOD messages: "Bad Pool Headers" and "Bad Pool Caller".
Cheers,
Gary

770-C45 + Everest 5.02 front sound ports?

Well its like this, I just built my computer using this motherboard and set everything up in bios and it worked perfectly right out of the box, I installed Vista home premium with no problems using AHCI, everything works well but I have an odd thing happening when I use Everest 5.02, a pop up asks what I have plugged into the sound jacks, not really a problem, just a bit odd, that’s with onboard sound, anyone else notice this? BIOS 1.3

No, I always use AHCI, I know it doesn't make much difference to the speed, but I use it anyway, I normally use raid 0 but I only have one hdd in this computer, and I have a sound card on its way, I never did like the idea of onboard sound, my post was more a question for other 770-C45 users to see if they all do it

770-c45 won´t post.
