785GTM-E45 AND OCZ2P10664GK PC2 8500

AMD 7850 AM2+ 4 gigs ocz memory. When I set ram to epp mode for 1066 set to 2.2v the bios post but windows will not load. I tried manually setting the memory timing but same problem. I messed around with multipliers and fsb and was able to get the system memory running stable at 1000mhz but 1066 would be nice. is there a list of supported memory that works with this board. I've noticed that no bios updates are available yet. I've also contacted ocz about this issue.
Thanks

785GTM-E45 and the disappearing video controller

Noticed an odd behavior on my 785GTM-E45 motherboard. When there is no video card installed on the motherboard, the onboard video works.
I have since installed an ATI Radeon HD 4350 board, and I can no longer use the video ports on the motherboard. Hardware info only shows one adapter.
I was hoping to use three or four monitors with this setup, but as of yet no dice.
I have tried both Internal and PCI-E for the primary video setting in the BIOS, but that doesn't seem to change anything.
Anyone know why this is? Thanks!

+1.
I have a G45 Asus mobo, and the only thing I can do when a videcard is installed is choosing between internal (and the videocard doesn't work) or pcie (and the internal doesn't work). Before, I had an old G31 Gigabyte motherboard, and I was able to use both internal and pcie at the same time. Maybe some nvidia 9300/9400 boards too. I never tried a pcie card with my 890GXM-G65, don't think it will work.
What you can do, since you only have an HD4350, is to plug it in the pcie 1x port...you'll have to cut it at the end (quite easy with a cutter, but be careful !), but normally you should be able to use both HD4350 and Internal (not too sure how the driver will react ?). You could also buy a special pcie 1x videocard (or pci).

785GTM-E45 SATA (AHCI) HDD and IDE DVD drive cannot be used together

I have bought 785GTM-E45, and installed a sata hdd and a IDE dvd drive on it. the sata is set to ahci mode. After install xp using f6 method and install all the drivers, I cannot find the dvd drive at all in windows. I have to go into bios to set the sata ports back to IDE model to make the dvd appear again.
Anyone knows the reason? It looks like a bios bug. I am using the new v8 bios.

Quote from: vm1 on 06-October-09, 00:12:31
It is just annoying that this board has so many issues. No vcore change, no gpu voltage change, v8 bios will freeze if entering processor details, and the issue in this current topic. I have used at least three other brands' boards and never had any issue before. Oh my, MSI...

You could have read the manual before buying, then you would have known it's a cheap office board.

785GTM-e45 enable Unlock CPU Core - won't post past sata harddrive detection

I recently bought a 785GTM-E45 and have a Phenom II x2 560 in it. I have a sata harddrive drive attached with the Raid setting to AHCI. I have windows 7 x64 running fine, but wanted to see if I could unlock any cores. If I enable ACC but leave Unlock CPU Core to Disabled, I can boot fine. But when I change Unlock CPU Core to Enabled and reboot, i get the Post messages and it identifies the CPU as Phenom II X4 B60. Its goes through the whole posting until it get to initializing the sata drives. It will sit on that screen for a few minutes and then say that no drives are found so it cant boot. If i do the same thing with the harddrive unplugged, it immediately says it can't find any drives. I have tried changing the Raid setting to IDE with similar results. I am running bios version 8.8 One thing I noticed that I thought was strange is that when I do the save after enabling CPU Unlock, the computer totally shuts off. The power light turns off, all drives and fans turn off, then it turns it self back on and does the reboot. It only does this with CPU Unlock enabled.

I believe that AMD is doing a more thorough job of disabling defective cores on those things and you will not be able to unlock. We've been seeing more and more of that recently on the 5xx series. If you want more cores then you will have to pay for them, looks like no longer a free ride for extra cores. Can't blame MSI for that.

785GTM-E45

Hello All,
I have recently purchased a 785GTM-E45 and an Athlon II x4 640
Athlon x4 640
Crucial Ballistix 2x1G
Antec Truepower 480 P/S
My symptoms:
Motherboard POSTs however no keyboards are recognized, PS2 or USB, thus I cannot get update the BIOS. I am assuming that I am running into this because the 640 is not on the supported list yet, is that correct?
I have already exchanged the board for a new one and still have the same issue. I have also tried different (Kingston) as well as just single sticks of RAM. I have not listed the other components of the system, DVDR or HD because they are not connected at this time.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Frederick,
Yes, I understand about the connecting PS2 devices while powered and how random it can be with them being recognized. I am using the Antec PS at this time instead of a generic 400W (that came with the case for this new build). I took the Antec out of a working system to rule out the power supply in the case. However the issue exists with either PS. I was trying to update the BIOS because it was out of date to see if that was the issue.
The weird part is that with NO hard drive connected I can boot up a Windows Setup DVD but am unable to move around in the initial menu because the keyboard doesn't work.
Thanks for your help!

Re: New Build, No Post, 785GTM-E45 w/Ph II 550 BE

Hi guys,I just bought a brand new MSI 785gtm-e45 and Phenom II 550 Black Edition,as well as a Crucial 2GB DDR2 5300,i hooked everything up,using onboard video,memory in slot 1 as manual says,450W p/s and all i get is a blinking blue light,i have also swapped out memory for a 1gb stick of pc5300,as well as put mine in another machine,and both sticks do work.
any ideas? i have went through hell getting this board considering i ordered it over a month ago.

Please don't hijack other peoples topics, you don't even have the same CPU as the other guy.

MSI 785gtm-e45 gpu overclock?? could it be??

Hi guys, I'm new in the forum. Last saturday I bougth this motherboard (MSI 785GTM-E45) and I tried to overclock the ati 4200 integrated gpu but I can't. There isn't an option in the BIOS, not even with MSI Dual Core Center, or AMD Overdrive or ATI Tray tools or ATI GPU tools... so I would like to know if this new BIOS version has te option to change the MHZ in GPU. Thanks in advance!!

Yes, that may be the case. But this is a Micro-ATX-Mainboard which simply does not have this option in BIOS. What is the point of overclocking the low-profile onboard-video chip of a mATX-Board besides increasing the chip temperature? Overclocking onboard video chips is not going to turn them into high-performance full-featured video cards either.

Bios settings for K9A2 v1.0 and PC2-8500 1066MH

My apologies in advance if this issue is like beating a dead horse but I have been looking for stable bios recomendations and proper settings for over a week now not only in this forum but the msi german board as well where I found my beta last year. I built my system a year ago and have never been 100% satisfied with it as it totally screams but intermittenly BSOD and reboots while gaming usually in heavy action :o(
I had a difficult time getting a working bios and configuration in Jan '08 but all I remember was it was in ganged, 128 bit mode, and had spread spectrum and other auto disable pci something setting disable and I have been able to run memory at 1066MHz.
after last crash a week ago I replace my beta 1.3 bios with A7376AMS V1.7B4 011309 out of desperation to correct the random booting issus as well as suspected over heating as I have tried removing the side panel to my coolermaster Cosmos to see if getting more air one components would help and I cant tell but I do know I cannot get the system back to 1066Mhz
currently runing unganged 64-bit and any attempt to change that and Cell settings causes BSOD in Vista 64-Bit, I cannot figure out how to adjust the voltage as the settings are greyed out. If anyone has a working bios could you supply me version info as well as how to set correct voltage and any other setting to stablize. yes, I have memory still in first two slots.
thanks for your time

Stratoscape , i used untill now with K9A2 Platinum v2 BIOS-es like 1.2 ,1.5, 1.66 ,1.6 and i can say that this 1.7b4 seems better though i used it for only 2 days.DPC Latency checker shows a lot of improovement over BIOS 1.6.
I have used Geil RAM untill 2 months ago,but the board wasnt working properly with it so i changed to Kingston.Maybe you should barrow from a firend other brand modules and see how they work
Or maybe you should use them at 800 Mhz.
Leave the timings on auto and adjust only the voltage .

785GTM-E45 Shutdown / Power on problems

Hello MSI forums, I recently purchased a 785gtm-e45 along with a Phenom X2 555 BE and I ran into a strange problem. When I first put the computer together it would not power on. I had to turn the power supply switch off for at least 10 seconds then flip it back on and power on. If I shutdown from windows, or hit power while it's booting up, the same problem occurs, it doesn't want to power back on without flipping the switch off.
I also doubt it's my power supply , seasonic 430watt, because my last system was an intel e2180 oc'd to 2.8ghz, ati 4830, now it's just the 555be no video card.
Also, has anyone been able to overclock with this board? I got my my 555 BE from 3.2 to 3.8ghz and crashed after prime95 for 3 hours, thinking it's my ram.

My apologies for the first crappy post, here are the full specs.
CPU : AMD Phenom X2 555 BE @ 3.20 GHz
MB: MSI 785GTM-E45 - Bios Version 8.3
RAM: 2 x 2GB G. Skill F2-64000CL5D-4GPBQ PC2-6400 CL5-5-5-15 1.8V - 1.9V
HDD: Intel X25-V 40GB and Seagate 7200.11 1TB
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 4830 512mb
PSU: SILVERSTONE ZEUS ST65ZF 650W 12V - 55 amps
OS: Windows 7 32 Bit
Also runs 2 x 120mm fans.
I put in the Silverstone power supply and I am still running into the same problems as the Seasonic power supply which has less amps and wattage. If I restart my computer it is fine, but if I hit shutdown then try powering it on, it does not work.
I have to turn the power switch on the PSU off for about 10 seconds before flipping it back on and powering up.
Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

MSI 785GTM-E45 Bios Startup Random Freezes Help?

Hi all,
I hope I am posting this in the right forum, because it is a bios startup problem. I have been searching the forums from here and other places extensively for the past few days as well as trying pinpoint the problem on my own computer. My problem is every now and then when I boot up, it takes a really long time to get past or freezes at "initializing usb controllers" or it just freezes on "hypertransport flood sync." Some people say its the cpu, motherboard, ram, etc... So I have just been testing to see which component is causing the problem.
I recently purchased parts to build a new computer from frys. The parts are:
1. MSI 785GTM-E45
2. AMD Phenom II X2 555 BE
3. Patriot Extreme Performance 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC24G6400ELK
4. Antec EarthWatts Green EA-430D Green 430W power supply
5. PNY Geforce 240 GT
6. 80 gb pata WD harddrive and NEC pata dvd-rw.
At first I thought it might've been that I was unlocking the cores and they were unstable, turns out the 4th core is unstable. However, I still get the weird freezes at initializing usb controllers and hypertransport flood sync even when I am running the stock 2 cores. Plus I purchased another AMD 555 to test it out, and its the same. Then I turned my attention to the ram, I ran memtest86+ on it and the ram appears to be good. And I don't think it is the power supply either, I can't really test it cuz I only have one. It can't be the video card because I was having this problem before I even installed the video card (I was using onboard waiting for something to go on sale). I am beginning to suspect that it's just a bad motherboard. I have even tried updating the bios to 8.5, I can now support X6, but it still doing the weird random freezes.
Was wondering if others had any ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

For your current system as is that PSU will be OK. If you think you will be upgrading video to something beyond a 250GTS & x4 CPU then I would recommend the TX650W instead. newegg usually has the best prices for the Corsairs and only online store I buy from in the past couple of years.
If you look at the specs at newegg you will see where it says how many rails it has. Also n'egg usually has picture of the PSU label and you can see there, it will show for example 2 rail: +12V1@18, +12V2@18, note the number after +12V. A single rail will have 1, for example the Corsair in your link +12V@30A

785GTM-E45 not POSTing after a week (Need help)

Hello guys and girls,
Good day to you.
I am new here as I just happily purchase my new MSI motherboard last week. Yay~
However, I am now currently facing problem in POSTing the PC after it was working beautifully for a week. Hope someone can help me as I have exhausted my testing/diagnostics options.
Some other infos that might be informative :-
1.) APS LED does not light anymore.
2.) No longer have successful POST beep anymore. (CPU Cooler comes on though)
3.) Of course the black screen.
4.) The last boot time, I remember seeing CMOS related error in the POST screen. After that loaded into Windows XP 32bit and I restarted the PC. Then the No POST happened.
My PC hardware components :-
CPU: Athlon X2 5000 (2.2GHz)
Motherboard: MSI 785GTM-E45 (ver 1.4) (No idea on how to check the BIOS as I can't even POST now)
RAM: I have 4 units working memory that I have tested to be working in this motherboard before it is not POSTing.
a.) Kingston DDR2 667MHz (KVR667D2N5/2G) [1 Stick]
b.) Mushkin DDR2 800MHz [1 Stick]
c.) Corsair Dominator DDR2 1066MHz 2x1GB Kit [2 Sticks] (using this one as the main before it failed to POST)
Graphics: Using onboard
PSU: Seasonic S12D 750W
a.) +3.3V = 24A ; +5V = 30A. (150W)
b.) +12V Combine = 62A (744W)
c.) -12V = 0.8A (9.6W)
d.) +5Vsb = 3A (15W)
Diagnostics that I have done :-
1.) Checked whether the motherboard is touching the casing which will ground it. The motherboard is screwed on the standoffs with a 1.5cm away from the case. Checked the motherboard edges, not touching the casing either. Checked whether is there any screws that are short-circuiting the motherboard, nothing there as well.
2.) Unplug the HDD and ODD. No POST as well. Plugged the HDD and ODD to another computer, it works.
3.) Triple checked the power connections in the PC. No POST. After that plugged my Seasonic PSU to another computer to test. It was working.
4.) Plugged another working PSU (Xigmatek 550W) from a working PC. Quadruple check the power connections is correct. No POST still.
5.) Test the memory DIMMs with different slots (all 4 of them). Installed one at a time and each time is in different slot. No POST still. Tried the board with NO memory, it beeps non-stop (Good news it is still working?)
6.) Did the Clear CMOS method according to manual. No POST still.
7.) Checked the monitor by plugging into another computer and see whether is it faulty. Is working.
8.) Retest all the memory DIMMs in another PC. All 4 DIMMs is working in another PC.
9.) Carefully remove the CPU and reseat the processor. After that retest all the 4 memory DIMMS (No matter which slot). No POST still.
10.) Disassemble the motherboard from the casing and other components to checked whether the capacitors are bad. Didn't detect any.
11.) Plugged in a working graphic card to check whether the onboard graphic is faulty. No POST still.
So now, I think I am left with 2 possibilities. The processor or the motherboard, however, the motherboard was the one showing symptoms based on the LED thing. So I am siding towards the motherboard is faulty?
I am out of ideas now. Hope someone can help me.

Yes, the CPU power is connected. both the 4 pins and 24 pins.
Some updates, I went to buy a Sempron 140 processor to test just for the sake whether the mobo works.. I just burnt some money on it.. it won't work.. Brought the motherboard back to the shop, they tested it and it is faulty.. so warranty claim. Guess I wont have a mobo for sometime..
Consider solved and I just burnt some money buying a spare proc which I think I wont be using also. haha.
Thanks for everyone who attempted to help me.

AMD Power Play states are glitchy, and not all videos detect and run with DirectX Video Acceleration. So max power during playback can end up on the highest power state which is not shown above.
MSI R5770 Hawk minimum power
The uP6204 power controller used on the MSI R5770 Hawk design nominally supports 0.5625 to 1.3500V in 0.0125V steps.
With a stock video BIOS, MSI Afterburner 1.50/1.51 allows the MSI R5770 Hawk to be soft-modded from 1.000 to 1.350V in the roughly 0.0125V steps.
The video BIOS can be set as low as 0.950V but with no steps between 0.950 and 1.000V.
MSI Afterburner 1.60 beta 4 or earlier adds the AllowCaptureVoltageDefaults profile setting. Acquiring, then changing the default GPU voltage allows "resetting" the Hawk to 0.950V in Afterburner for the highest frequency state. This allows maintaining Power Play transitions and running the max frequency at 0.950V, where Afterburner by itself is limited to 1.000V.
The max frequency state of the Hawk is 875 MHz 1200 MHz 1.200V. To have the most flexibilty on control the Hawk, lowest power in the Desktop/HTPC/light gaming, and the ability to manually overvolt/overclock for specific games: run the Hawk at 0.950V in the max frequency state.
How-to work around Afterburner and the Hawk design to run 1.000V in the max frequency state. *
1) in the video BIOS, leave the voltage as 1.200V in the BIOS--which is required for Afterburner to change the Hawk voltages in Windows
2) in the video BIOS, change the GPU frequency of that state to something less than or equal to the maximum stable frequency at 1.000V
3) in Afterburner, Reset to default settings **
4) in Afterburner, change "Core Voltage" to 1.000V
5) in Afterburner, Apply
6) in Afterburner, Save to Profile 1
7) in Afterburner, \Settings\Profiles\2D Profile\ & "3D Profile" choose "Profile 1" ***
8) on each Windows startup, run Afterburner

3) in Afterburner, confirm the voltage default setting for 0.950V--capture voltage defaults as needed using AllowCaptureVoltageDefaults mentioned above
4) in notepad as an Administrator (Win 6.x), change the Hawk's profile configuration file to 0.950V
example:
[Settings]
uP6204_Defaults=D7 20
5) in Afterburner, Reset to default settings **
6) in Afterburner, change "Core Voltage" to 1.000V--changing the profile setting to 0950/950 is not useful as of 1.60 beta 4.

11) in Afterburner, "Reset" to re-enable 0.950V.
* UnlockVoltageControl in the primary Afterburner profile's [Settings] will likely be needed.
** Only default profiles support Power Play states correctly.
*** Having a non-"default" profile in 3D results in the "3D Profile" activating instead of the UVD in the BIOS.

Need help getting PC2 8500 to run at 1066

I have an MSI MS-7510 P7N Diamond motherboard, Core 2 Quad Q6600 overclocked from 2.40 GHz to 3.0 GHz via raising FSB to 1333 MHz and running stable for ~ 3 years now.
I just installed 2x PC2 8500 2GB G. Skill sticks for 4 GB RAM (replacing 4x 1 GB) and CPU-Z reports DRAM frequency at 400.0 MHz.
I have tried setting DRAM Frequency to 1066, timings to 5-5-5-15 (the rating of the RAM sticks), DRAM Voltage at 2.1, and Memory Timing to 2T. The systems starts to load Windows 7 and then it reboots back to POST screen and continues in this loop until I undo reset DRAM back to 800.
Is it possible for me to get this RAM set to 1066 MHz?

Thanks for the fast reply. Here’s what I did.
DRAM Frequency set to 1066 (from original setting of 800)
Timings to 5-5-5-15 (from original setting of AUTO)
Memory Timing to 2T (from original setting of AUTO)
DRAM Voltage to 2.1 (from original setting of AUTO)
The only DRAM Frequencies that boot into Windows 7 are 800 and 533, which CPU-Z reports as 400 and 266.5 respectively. 1066 puts the PC into an endless boot/POST loop and I have to go into BIOS and adjust DRAM frequency off of the 1066 value to either 800 or 533 to get into Windows 7.
Is DRAM Frequency of 800 (as reported in BIOS) the best I can do? If so the only difference to my machine now is going from 4x 1GB RAM sticks to 2x 2GB RAM sticks and I’m still at 4 GB RAM running DRAM 800 MHz.
So I can use my machine again I set –
DRAM Frequency 800 in BIOS (CPU-Z reports 400)
Timings 5-5-5-15
Memory Timing 2T
DRAM Voltage 2.1
I have a feeling that I am either overlooking something simple here or my machine just cannot handle RAM running at 1066 MHz. With all the OC functions this MSI board has I would think I could get the RAM rated at 1066 to run at 1066 instead of 800.

Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB GDDR5 on a 785GTM-E45 mainboard post prob

trying to install my Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB GDDR5 on my 785GTM-E45 mainboard and it wont post i disabled my internal card did every thing directions said to do. cleared my cmos still wont post. so i removed my pci e card and hooked my monitor back up to the main board and nwow that isnt posting grrrrr is there a jumper setting on my board that im not seeing to make my new card work. or how can i get my onboard vga to work agian

ok i got it to work and after about a minute running though my 650w power supply went BOOM so i went out and got a TX850 V2 power supply and it fired right up now im having a problem with hyper threading i see theres a way to adjust it in my bios just need to figure out what to adjust it to
