785GM-P45 & Windows 7

Hi All,
I put together 785GM-P45 and AMD Phenom II X2 560 yesterday. Everything went smoothly until the first boot into Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Win7 did not recognize any hardware to install drivers for. From my past experience on my Gigabyte board with Q6600, Win7 recognized all hardware including my linksys wireless pci card. Is there something wrong or this is just the way it is? Thanks in advance!

it did not recognize the on-board video, on-board sound, and my linksys pci wireless card
You mean it shows (?) against those devices in the Device Manager?
If so, then just install the drivers for them:

For your Linksys card, you'll need to obtain those drivers from Linksys.

785gm-p45 sound problem

when no sound is playing, all of the sudden the speakers start doing an static sound, very annoying, which only way of stopping it is if i play a sound in windows or if i disable/enable for example the mic line.
I've just reinstalled the latest driver, use win 7.
any solution? don't want to change the mother...

I'm using only the green jack, the mic is with the webcam via usb. and the mic was an example, the same happened if i enable/disable any of the other two
my PC its a amd athlon2 x3, 785gm-p45, 2 GB ddr3, 500 GB hd, DVD, nothing else
it's a fresh windows installation, as i said i bought this 2 months ago! :(

785GM- P45 Winki checksum error

Ok New here so I hope the modes dont kill me. LOL.
system
785GM-P45
CPU BE560
Memory 2x2 OCZ ddr3
4 sata drives
1 sata DVD
OCZ 520 watt PSU
On board video
Operating system win 7 ultimate 64
Every thing run great when system is empty once I load any additional drivers (software seems OK) ie video, AMD Over Drive. once I reboot all is locked up "Winki Blah blah blah Checksum error Press any keep to reboot
What they mean is reload your operating system I can find any way past this once it starts to happen. Maybe just go back to Asus? The thing is I ran XP pro for 2 days never an issue... PLEASE HELP

"Booting MSI Winki, please wait... isolinux: Image checksum error, sorry.....
Boot failed: press a key to retry"
This happen right after bois I can still get into the bois I have left all the defaults, thinking that this was being caused by me unlocking the other 2 cores but no difference.
Windows loads fine (Win 7 64 bit) it only happens after I start to load the system up. I must have rebooted 20 times last night after my lasts install of OS no problems. once I load the ati catalysis or AMD Overdrive, She is gone with this error. Makes NO sense I really don't want to use 32 bit but may try tonight.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in Advance

785GM-P45 with 1GB dedicated video memory in bios

has anyone able to allocate 1GB for dedicated video memory in bios and has at least 8GB of RAM. i had already updated the bios to version 11.8, with any 3 sticks of kingston 2GB RAM I can allocate 1GB for video memory in the bios, but the minute that i have the 4th stick install, the pc will not complete boot into windows. with only 3 sticks, it doesn't matter which memory slot is open, it will boot into windows and shows 1GB dedicated video memory. all the RAM tested fine with remtest. with all 4 stick install it will only boot into windows with 512mb dedicated video memory. thanks in advance.

785GM-P45 RAID help

Hey guys,
I'm building a Windows 7 (64) box for my dad and have put three 2TB Seagate SATA drives in the machine for him. I had wanted to build a RAID 5 array for him, but it's not one of the options. The options I've got are RAID 0, 1, 10, JBOD, or RAID Ready. After trying a couple of times (as in a half dozen or so) the BIOS no longer recognizes the drives, and when it did recognize the drives, I never got close to the total space the drives were supposed to have. The closest I came was Windows 7 seeing the array as two separate drives with one having around 2.5TB (with the 100mb boot) and the other having about 3.5TB.
Anyone got any ideas on how to get the BIOS to see the drives again, and how to set up the array? I'd like to get him set up as close to a RAID 5 as I can, with the data protection, but at this point I'll take anything that will get the machine up and working.
Any helpful suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!
[MSI 785GM-P45, AMD Phenom II Black Ed, OCZ DDR3 DRAM 2Gb (x2), 3 Seagate Barracuda SATA 2TB HDD (32mb cache 5900rpm), Trying to install fresh copy of Windows 7 64bit]

A few things:
The Boot Sector for ANY Windows install CANNOT be larger then 2 TB.
You can Have other sectors, if you are installing a 64-Bit version of Windows that are larger then 2 TB, but NOT the boot sector.
If you have RAID = RAID (Choices RAID = IDE, AHCI, RAID) in the BIOS, then you'll be able to get to the BIOS Utility screen after the MOBO Image when you power on your PC.
In the BIOS, if you have a RAID array defined, in general you do NOT see individual HDDs in the BIOS.
The BOOT Sequence will let you Pick Which RAID array you want to BOOT first, 2nd, etc.
I have the 790FX-GD70 and the 890FXA-GD70. I have set multiple RAID-0 arrays with the 790FX-GD70 and it was really straight forward as long and you get the BOOT partition at 2 TB or less, are installing a 64-bit OS (If you want non-BOOT partitions larger than 2TB) and define the other Partitions.
If RAID-5 is NOT supported then you will NOT be able to use that scheme for BOOT.
That is, Unless you get a PCI-E RAID card.
Good luck!

785gm-p45 + nvidia GTS 250 = 3 screens?

I am fairly new to this sorta thing but i was wondering if there was any way to use the HMDI port on my 785gm-p45 and also the 2 DVI outputs on my GeForce GTS 250 to run a total of 3 screens? I've heard that some mobo's and do it and some cant but i haven't been able to find any information that has really helped me any so i figured this would be the place to ask...
Any ideas?

I have not seen any MSI board (or other brands for that matter) that can do onboard + PCIe cards at the same time.
Sorry.

after enable the Unlock CPU Core function and Enable the ACC (Advanced Clock Calibration) function, you leave the core control to auto. reboot and see if it is stable. if not stable, come back to bios, and set core control to manual, try to disable one of core 3, and core4. if stable, you get a good X3. if still not stable, then you cpu is still a good x2.

with 4x sticks you may need to drop memory freq. to 1066MHz and also ensure that you use 2T

785GM-P45 HDMI screen size problem

Happy New Year, folks!
I connected my 785GM-P45 board to an Asus 23.2" LCD monitor (native resolution: 1920x1080) via HDMI, set the resolution to 1920x1080, and was dismayed to find out that the display was not occupying the entire screen. There was a 1-inch black border all round the display.
As a test, I connected the Asus monitor to a Foxconn board via HDMI. Behold, the display nicely occupied the whole screen.
As a second test, I connected the monitor to the 785GM-P45 again, but this time via a VGA cable. The display occupied the whole screen. No annoying black borders.
So the problem seems to be in the HDMI output of the MSI board. Any suggestions and solutions would be most appreciated.

For those who may have a similar problem (main monitor, Acer 21.5" LED, worked fine, Sony 40" on HDMI could not get to fill the screen and will only output at max of 1280x1024 if main is set to native 1920x1080) this will fill the screen on a secondary monitor as well... Thanks Mark.

Need help regarding MSI 785GM-P45

Hi
New to this forum so I will try to give as much info as possible. If you have any suggestions please give as much details as possible since I am new to building my own HTPC
Motherboard: MSI 785GM-P45
CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 640 3.0 GHz
RAM: AVeir 2GB DDR3-1333
HD: EIDE 80GB WD
I installed the cpu and heat sink as well as the RAM in DIMM1 then I attached the power to the mother board. Also attached then box power switch and HDD connections to the motherboard. When I press the power switch on the box I can see the cpu fan turning and box fan turning as well as hear HD spinning (at this point I dont have IDE cable connected to HD). then I attached the display to the mother board and the display does not show anything (displays standby light is still yellow). I power off the system and then attach IDE cable to the HD and then power on the system and this time everything works like before but one thing is different. I cannot hear the HD spinning or powered up. Not sure what is happening. Any suggestion would be welcome
Thanks

785GM-P45 boot to CD

I got everything set up for what I need, but I need to boot to a CD and do some partitioning. But im running my setup through a HDTV and I dont really see a post until the graphics come up, then it just boots into windows server.
What key can I mash on my keyboard to tell it to go to CD, any ideas?
thanks!

F11 or go into the bios, usually the delete key, and change the boot order so the CD boots first(save and exit).

785GM-P45 & AHCI

Can anyone that owns this board verify for me that the BIOS setup on this board has an option to set the SATA ports to AHCI mode ?
I just spent an hour (including reading thru the manual) trying to find this out.
Thank you.

All new boards have it, else they are not Vista/W7 certified.
The option is called RAID-MODE and can be set between IDE/AHCI/RAID

785GM-P45 noise from CPU APS LED

Hi, I am experiencing the same problem as https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=printpage;topic=131620.0
I did a quick search online, and it seems to be a common problem with MSI motherboards. Is there any way to fix it? the high frequency noise is really annoying!

Quote from: Henry on 08-January-11, 06:54:50
That may be an error showing support for those two 125W CPU's. If 125W/140W CPU's were actually supported then the others would be in the list list also and as you can see they are not. There are some other MB's that only show those two CPU's supported and not the other 125W. It would be best for you to check with MSI to confirm/deny 125W CPU support.
>> Contact MSI <<
I contacted them using the link you mention. Their answer is really slow. Finally, I got their answer today. But there is nothing really helps.

Mainboard MSI 785GM-P45 compatibility test with mouse A4tech ?

I bought a new optical mouse, A4tech X5-70MD to replace an old one which was too small for gaming, but my computer didn't recognize it probably, sometime it works ok, but the right button of my mouse malfunctioned occasionally, other buttons are also screwed up, especially when my PC waking up from sleep state. So I replaced the mouse with an identical one, but still the problems remained.
I’ve already tried to reinstall the driver, OS and BIOS but those problems didn't go away.
My mainboard have a new BIOS update named "Improved PS/2 mouse compatiblity issue" but it still not solve my issue
I think my problems mainly come from the mainboad because the mouse still works ok on other computer
So, is there any tool for me to check and fix this compatibility issue ??
thanks !!

I try all drivers, all usb port, then I said my problem to the distributor, they exchanged me a new model A4tech N-70FX ...STILL THAT PROBLEM ...AAAAAAAAA
Because 2 models work well in their computer so no 4th to exchange, and now, I need to bear with my mouse and wait for respond from MSI support team, A4tech support team and good guy here
Each time problem happened, I need to unplug and plug again

MSI 785GM-E51 can't install audio drivers

Hey, I would be grateful if you could help me with this problem.
When I try to install the audio drivers of this mobo(785GM-E51), Windows 7 can't find them. It offers me another set of drivers - that of VIA's, but it should be Realtek's. Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but I have a an issue with front panel microphone jack(it's not working), so I want to install the proper drivers. I tried disabling auto-installing option of Windows 7, and then install the drivers that MSI offers officially , but still the computer acts as if I didn't install anything.
EDIT: It seems that I have a different motherboard - in the document I have(about the parts of PC), it says that the computer has MSI 785GM-E51, but now that I checked the informationa about motherboard in the Windows itself, it appaars that ASrock M3A770DE is in the case. So I guess the fact that I can't install the MSI's drivers is because of different mobo. I have no idea how this could've happened.

>>Posting Guide<<
Why don't you open up a case and read the model? Is the computer secured with some sort of sticker that voids warranty if opened?
