785GTM-E45 - Power On Via KB/Mouse

I recently got this board. One thing I need is to turn on PC via mouse, since case is somewhat hard to get to. My previous builds for several years have supported this method and I assumed this had become standard.
It appears that this BIOS does not support power up via mouse/KB from a shutdown state? I noticed that BIOS says wake from S3, which is standby/sleep rather than S4, or S5. I verified that with this selected, it will not power up from S4 or S5, only S3. It is the same case and power supply from my Gigabyte GA MA 780G and it did power up via mouse.
Wondering if there is a jumper, or such to enable this function from S4, or S5?
Thanks.

I guess not?
Anyway, I can only hope MSI might add this to a later BIOS version. It is, after all common on other boards.
In the mean time, I took the power button off another case that I was tossing. I jumpered a pair inside a CAT 5 and extended a switch to the area where my mouse and keyboard are located.

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 **

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.

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.

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.

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

Msi 785gtm-e45 Video issues

Hello everyone, hope you can help.
I have just changed from a Lanparty Jr series (due to a bios failure) to a Msi 785gtm-e45 motherboard. Everything is okay apart from running the graphics card which does not output any video. I first thought this was a bios setting so I tried setting the video default to pci-e, no change. I'm currently running on the on-board graphics (HD4200) with the 9600gt also inserted, the odd thing is that windows sees the card so I installed the latest drivers and tried again but still no change. The card is functional as I had it running not long ago in my previous machine. I have also tried resetting bios settings to default. I have searched for similar threads and found a couple although none come to conclusion to the problem. My PC specs are as follows:
- Athlon 64 X2 5600+ 2.9Ghz
- Msi 785gtm-e45 v1.4 running bios ver 8.8
- Corsair Ballistix Sport 4gb (2 x 2gb) DDR2 6400
- XFX Geforce 9600gt 512mb
- Hitachi HDP725050GLA360 500Gb SATA
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
- Corsair VX550W 550w (41A @ 12v / 30A @ 5v / 28A @ 3.5v)
Any help or advice is welcome.
Cheers.

Did you unplug your PSU from A/C power to properly >>Clear CMOS<< at any point after inserting the video card? If not, please give that a shot.

Compatability Q for a 785GTM-E45

I have a 785GTM E45 main board and im in the market for a new graphics card the one I seem to keep going back to is the SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E. So my Q is will it work with my 785GTM-E45? I know the ATI Radeon HD 4870 will work but it only has DVI outputs and i want the HDMI,VGA ,DVI options and the better cooling system of the Sapphire...... Also been looking at...Sapphire Radeon HD6970 2GB DDR5, Sapphire Radeon HD5670 1GB DDR3, and pretty much the whole sapphire vapor x hd series

We can't really comment or give recommendations on other competitors products here, after all this is an MSI forum.
But providing you have a powerful enough PSU (Power Supply Unit), those cards should work with no problems in your board.

785GTM-E45 RAM problem

I've bought the board last February and paired it with dual channel 2GB (1GB x 2) Team Xtreem Dark DDR2-1066 CL 5 rams. Everything worked flawlessy.
Yesterday, I purchased a 4GB (2GB x 2) G.Skill DDR2-1000 CL5 rams to replace the Team Xtreem. I inserted the modules, turned the power on, but the system wouldn't post. I made a bios reset and and still the system won't post. I tried to troubleshoot the problem and found out that Slot 1 won't accept either of the 2GB modules. I used Slot 2 and stress tested both rams (one at a time) and both worked fine.
Currently I'm back with the Team Xtreem setup.
Are there any compatibility issues on the G.SKill RAMS? Do I have to update the board's BIOS to make Slot 1 accept the 2GB RAM? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
My system's spec by the way is:
Processor: AMD Phenom II x4 910e (stock)
Motherboard: MSI 785GTM-E45 (BIOS version 8.6)
RAMS: 2GB (1GB x 2) Team Xtreem Dark DDR2-1066 CL 5 (hope to replace it with 4GB (2GB x 2) G.Skill DDR2-1000 CL5)
PSU: Corsair HX450w PSU
Video: Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB

So if you put the old memory back everything is fine again?
If so return the Gskill and get some other brand memory, we have seen many problems with Gskill.
Yup. I can't return it though coz it performed perfectly fine on another AMD setup so the culprit might be in my system. Will do a system cleanup later and see what happens.
:edit:
Also can anyone direct me to the latest 8.7 bios for my board? Live Update 4 says there's a latest one (8.7) and says that it has improved memory compatibility.
The problem is when i start downloading it, Live Update says Download fail. URL Invalid.

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!

785GTM-E45 MOBO BIOS V 8.80 RANDOMLY RESETS BOOT SEQUENCE

785GTM-E45 MOBO W/ PHENOM 9750 QUAD CORE CPU/4 GB WINTEC DDR2 PC6400 (2 x 2 GB) / WINDOWS XP SP3
PROBLEM: BIOS V 8.80 RANDOMLY RESETS BOOT SEQUENCE
I HAVE 4 HARD DRIVES (2 SATA II - 1 USB 2.0 1 USB 3.0) ALL OF WHICH HAVE MULTIPLE PARTITIONS WITH 1 ACTIVE ON EACH DRIVE
SATA II DRIVES / DEVICES:
ON SATA 1: HITACHI 1TB SATA II DRIVE
ON SATA 2: MSI DVD-CW RW
ON SATA 3: MAXTOR 320GB SATA II DRIVE
USB DRIVES:
1. SEAGATE FREE AGENT EXTERNAL USB 2.0 1TB HD
2. FANTOM EXTERNAL USB 3.0 2TB HD (VIA DIABLOTEK USB 3.0 PCI-E CARD)
EXPLANATION OF PROBLEM AND FIXES ATTEMPTED TO DATE
IN BIOS BOOT SEQUENCE I SELECT THE HITACHI HD AS 1ST DEVICE AND ALSO SET IT 2ND 3RD AND 4TH AND BOOT OTHER DEVICE DISABLED. SAVE/EXIT BIOS AND WHEN SYSTEM REBOOTS IT RANDOMLY SELECTS ANY OF THE 4 DRIVES TO BOOT FROM. WHEN I ENTER BIOS AGAIN IT SHOWS WHATEVER DRIVE IT HAD SELECTED TO BOOT FROM AS 1ST, 2ND, 3RD AND 4TH DEVICE. ENABLING OR DISABLING BOOT FROM OTHER DEVICE MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.
ORIGINALLY MY HITACHI WAS ON SATA 3 AND THE MAXTOR ON SATA 1 - I SWITCHED THESE AND NO DIFFERENCE. BIOS SWITCHES BOOT DEVICE NOT ONLY TO THE MAXTOR SATA DRIVE BUT ALSO TO THE USB DRIVES. USUALLY WHEN I REENTER BIOS AND CHANGE THE BOOT SEQUENCE BACK FROM WHATEVER HD IT SHOWS TO THE HITACHI IT WILL USUALLY THEN BOOT FROM THE HITACHI SOMETIMES THOUGH IT TAKES 2 OR 3 TRIES TO GET IT TO BOOT FROM THE DRIVE I HAVE SELECTED AS 1ST BOOT DEVICE.
I HAVE TESTED ALL DRIVES EXTENSIVELY USING ONTRACK EASY RECOVERY PROFESSIONAL SOFTWARE AND ALL DRIVES SHOW NO PROBLEM.
MSI LIVE UPDATE 5 REPORTS THAT THE BIOS IS 8.80 HOWEVER IT ALSO SHOWS MY OS AS WINDOWS 2000 WHICH IS INCORRECT. MY CURRENT OS IS WINDOWS XP SP3. MY XP INSTALLATION WAS AN UPGRADE FROM WINDOWS 2000.
PROBLEM IS NOT DEVASTATING JUST ANNOYING IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A FIX I'D LOVE TO HEAR ABOUT IT. IF THIS IS A BUG IN THIS VERSION OF THE MOBO BIOS I SURE HOPE THEY EXTERMINATE IT AND RELEASE AN UPDATED VERSION IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

How do you know it's randomly booting a different drive?
What are the messages you get?
As this:
That looks like a broken drive to me, where it can't find the bootsector/mbr in time to boot from, so the BIOS moves to the next drive and tries again.
I built this box about 2 months ago or so and this is the version of BIOS that came with the MOBO. I have not flashed the bios in this board.
As for knowing that it is randomly booting from a different drive as I stated each of my 4 drives has at a minimum 1 active partition. The Hitachi has a dual boot setup in Windows and if it is booting from the Hitachi drive I will get the Window giving me a choice of booting from either the Hitachi or the Seagate. If I select the Hitachi I also have it setup for two hardware profiles so it then gives me that screen to select profile 1 or 2. If I get these screens no problem - I select the Hitachi and profile 1 and it boots without any further problem.
If it has switched lets say to the maxtor (remember I have selected the Hitachi as 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th for boot sequence and the boot from other device is NO) I get no multi boot option it just automatically starts Windows from the active partition on the MAXTOR (I can tell because the last time I used the Maxtor didn't shut down Windows properly so I get the option screen to boot normally or use safe mode etc). The active partition on the Maxtor is a duplicate of the Hitachi but about 2 months old - basically a backup of the Hitachi active partition but out of date and without the multi boot option.
In addition if it has switched boot drives and I hit my reset button and del to open up bios again and go to the boot sequence menu it will no longer show my hitachi as all 4 choices but sometimes it will show all 4 drives in varying order (including the hitachi but not as first device), sometimes 1 drive in all 4 (as in the seagate or the maxtor or the fantom drive in all 4 of the boot sequences) this seems to occur randomly and each time the list of boot sequence is different.
Keeping in mind that I had initially selected the Hitachi drive in all 4 of the boot sequences and selected NO to boot from other device - If the Hitachi drive was not ready or had a bad bootsector/mbr should I not get a message similar to "cannot boot from selected device so and so is missing etc?? I was under the impression that when one disabled the boot from other device as in NO then the bios should not attempt to go any further then attempting to boot from the selected device(s)????
As for the broken drive and bios moving to the next drive and trying again I could understand that 1. If I had not supposedly disabled its ability to do that 2. I could perhaps understand this going to the next drive if I had selected the Seagate USB drive as my initial drive because of it's so called sleep mode which I have now turned off as it was causing errors in windows. In addition I have run numerous and rigorous tests on the drives and they all passed with flying colors.
Yesterday after a couple of tries I booted from the Hitachi drive (it was listed as 1,2,3,and 4 in bios and the boot from other device was NO) and was using that all day and was on it when I posted my help request here. Shortly thereafter I properly shut down my computer. Now I would think that when I turned it on again this morning the BIOS would have maintained its previous settings of the Hitachi in all 4 of the boot sequences and the No on enabling it to boot from other device? However when I booted up again this morning it tried to boot from the Maxtor (I can tell because I get the option screen to boot normally or use safe mode etc) so I hit the reset button and then entered bios and boot sequence and now it showed the Seagate as 1 (it had just tried to boot from the Maxtor when I hit the reset button), the Fantom as 2, the Maxtor as 3 and the Hitachi as 4 and boot from other device still said NO - changed them once again to show the Hitachi in all 4 positions and exited bios and it did then boot from the Hitachi and here I am writing this message using Windows XP located in the active partition of my Hitachi drive.
I'm not exactly a novice as my computer experience goes all the way back to mainframe days of the IBM 360 series computers. I have built so many boxes I have lost count including numerous one using MSI mobos and I have never encountered a problem similar to this. As I said it is not devastating just annoying - the only thing I can think of to totally eliminate the possibility of it being the mbr/bootsector of the Hitachi drive is to back up the drive and rewrite those sectors even though no errors have been reported.
I could be wrong but after messing with this for sometime it really seems to be a bios bug or perhaps just my bios is defective - I was able to dl a copy of v8.8 from another post in the forums - and have not used it yet. Sent all of this info in a Tech support request and posted it here to see if there were any solutions I may have overlooked before flashing the bios with a dl copy of the same version I have installed.
As for downloading the current v of bios from the forums here it was apparently the only way I could get a copy as Liveupdate 5 shows that I have the current version installed and only gives me a message that my mobo bios is current and no download is needed or something like that and the MSI site no longer gives one the ability to download the mobo bios without using liveupdate 5 or at least I couldn't find one.

Basicly i bought a HD5750 and it started giving me this error and we narrowed it down to either the card or the power supply just bought a new 750W, replacing my 500W, and we took the video card for a GTS450, which didnt work and now i have the HD 5770, for 3 days i didnt have the error, it just threw the error out today at me while surfing youtube.com, and so im baffled and not sure what it is as it only started when i got the HD 5750, but now i have the HD5770 it just started but less frequently.
any help is appreciated thanks guys
Complete specs btw:
785GTM-E45
4gigs of ram, 1 stick of 800mhz, 1stick of 1066mhz Kingston
750W Kingwin PSU
AMD Athlon 2 X3 440
Onboard chipset: HD4200
500GB SATA drive
PCI-E NVIDIA GeForce GTS450

Yes, of old it has to do with the graphics card. But mixing memory is n o t recommended.

785GTM-E45 - Will not boot

I purchased a bare bones system from Tiger Direct for a basic livingroom multimedia pc to basically run Boxee and we browsing. The kit included: MSI 785GTM-E45 DiabloTek Barebones Kit - MSI 785GTM-E45 Motherboard, AMD Phenom X4 9750 CPU, CPU Fan, Patriot 2GB DDR2 RAM, Seagate 500GB HDD, DiabloTek Elite ATX-Mid Tower Case, 450W Power Supply (Here is a link to the system: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=500255&sku=B69-0367&SRCCODE=WEM2675N&cm_mmc=email-_-Main-_-WEM2675-_-tigeremail2675).
I have built several systems in the past and I have never had an issue before. I received everything in the mail and assembled but the system would power up for about 3 seconds then turn off - essentially the cpu fan would turn on then off immediately. After doing some troubleshooting it turned out to be a bad power supply. TD shipped me a new case and I transferred everything over and it now turned on just fine and stayed on.... BUT it would never load the bios, etc. I have cleared the cmos, reseated and double checked for extra mounting pins on the MB case, reseated the ram.. no fix. I even followed the "flow chart" here: http://www.msi.com/service/cannot-boot-up-properly/
I have unplugged everything and put the motherboard on a nonconductive surface...same result. Unplugged everything and unplugged the RAM hoping to get some system error beep.. NOTHING..ugh
The motherboard powers up, CPU fan turns on, the HDD spools up and runs but that is it. No USB ports light up, the DVD drive does not come to life and there are no system beeps and the monitor never gets any input from the motherboard. I am not running a seperate video card - just the onboard video.
What are some next steps for troubleshooting to get the system up and running?

Exactly! No beep codes at all. I unplugged everything including RAM to see if I could start troubleshooting component by component but with no beep codes. I have been swapping out RAM/HDD/removing from the case and starting it up on a non-conductive surface, you name it...no boot and no beep...

785GTM-E45 keeps turning off

Hi guys,
I seem to be having a problem with my MSI 785GTM-E45 that I purchased from Tigerdirect as a barebones kit. I'm a whiz at building systems, been doing it for years so I doubt I did anything wrong but who knows....
The weird part is.. two identical systems and SAME problem.
MSI 785GTM-E45 Motherboard - Micro ATX, AMD 785G Chipset, Socket AM2+, 1066MHz DDR2, SATA 3.0 Gb/s, RAID, 8-Channel Audio, Gigabit LAN
AMD HDX920XCJ4DGI Phenom II X4 920 Quad Core OEM Processor - 2.80GHz, 6MB Cache, 1800MHz (3600 MT/s) FSB, Deneb, Quad-Core, OEM, Socket AM2+
Patriot PSD22G80026 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 Memory - 800MHz, 1x2048MB, Non-ECC, Unbuffered
Seagate ST3500413AS Barracuda Hard Drive - 500GB, SATA 6Gbps, 7200 RPM, 16MB
Zalman CNPS7000V(AL)-1-PWM CPU Cooler - Intel Socket 1155, 1156, 775, AMD Socket AM2, AM2+, AM3
DiabloTek CPA-0280 Elite ATX Mid Tower Case - ATX, Micro ATX, 450W PSU, 2x Ext 5.25", 1x Ext 3.5", 2x Int 3.5", 2x USB 2.0 Front Ports, Black
Current temperature is:
CPU TEMP: 65C/147F
System Temp: 35C/95F
Sys Fan 1: Speed 905RPM
CPU Vcore 1.352V
3.3V: 3.444V
5V: 4.924
12V: 11.968V
So far, I've purchased thermal paste, the cleaner products to get the paste off. I've cleaned this twice and SAME problem.
I've purchased a new CPU cooler and am still having the same problem. My next thought would be the power supply.. but I don't want to be random and keep wasting my $$!
Any ideas on what else to try?
thanks,
Matt

Given what the CPU temp is at, I suspect thermal shutdown. 65 c is thermal max for deneb cpu's. Also your 450 watt PSU may not be up to snuff. double and tripple check cpu cooler seating, and reseat cpu, check for bent/damaged pins...just in case.

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 not POSTing

Just bought a new 785GTM-E45 today at Fry's along with:
Athlon 2 X2 255 CPU
Patriot 2x2GB PC6400 RAM
Coolmax V600 PSU
+5V = 24A
+3.3V = 24A
+12V1 = 18A
+12V2 = 18A
+12V3 = 15A
-12V = 0.5A
+5vsb = 2.5A
+3.3V & +15V max = 160W
+12V1 & +12V2 & +12V3 max = 450W
I'm getting a beep code (1 long, 2 short) that seems to be indicating a video problem. I'm using the onboard video at the moment (no PCI-e video to test with). Is there any way I can confirm this before I assume it's a bad board?
Thanks much,
Aaron

I tried one stick at a time with no changes. With no RAM I got a different beep pattern. I had my monitor connected to the DVI output via an adaptor, swapping this to the VGA connection seems to have solved the issue.... does this even make sense?
