790FX-GD70 not Booting, FF code

Hello, new to the forum... I signed up on here because I am having a rather difficult time with my MSI motherboard; I haven't been able to find any help elsewhere. I put together a machine using the MSI 790FX-GD70 socket AM3 board (not winki ed.) and a Phenom-II X6, the 1090T. Here is the full configuration:
AMD Phenom-II X6 - 1090T @ 3.2Ghz
MSI 790FX-GD70, latest BIOS
2x4GB (8GB) Corsair XMS3 DDR3-1600 RAM
ATI FirePro V5700 512MB (2x) *these do not require aux power
500w Corsair CX500 power supply 80+ cert.
500GB HDD, 7200rpm
DVD burner
This setup was working fine when I first assembled it around a month ago, but since the motherboard has been giving me the "FF" code and will not POST. The only way I can get the board to POST and boot the OS is to clear the CMOS and strike F2 to load defaults. I am able to enter and access the BIOS (and update it) but if I change or save any settings the motherboard will not POST and will display FF code again. If I clear the CMOS and strike F2 the board will POST, boot Windows, and work just fine without crashing--but if I restart the computer or shut it down properly the same thing occurs and I must clear CMOS again in order for it to work. This is very frustrating...
At this point I have switched CMOS batteries, tried a different PSU, taken one of the graphics cards out, and used only a single stick of RAM. I have also tried a different 1333mhz module and flashed the BIOS to the latest version without error. Nothing has fixed the problem and I am getting the hint that the board could be toast. When I power on the board, the FF code displays, the HDD LED flashes once, and then the FF code quickly returns and it hangs with no video to the monitor. All of the board's other LEDs are ON but nothing happens until the CMOS is cleared. This is very bizarre to me and I've never had a board that just stopped working. I am not trying to OC anything (dial is disabled and OFF) and all of the other hardware tests good. The computer has worked perfectly fine before so I can't guess as to why it has suddenly become problematic. It still works, but only after clearing CMOS and using F2.
I would greatly appreciate any help with this as I am out of ideas... thanks in advance for any support.

I think you are of the mistaken impression that we are MSI. This is a user to user forum and run by users like you--not MSI employees. We are all volunteers including the Mods and the Admin. None are paid or work for MSI. There are a few MSI employees that come in here but they do not read the forums very often and post even more rarely. M-Flash and Live Update are official MSI products. The MSI HQ Forum Flasher is a product of these forums, specifically Svet and tested by the other Mods--the USB Forum Flasher is not part of MSI. The flasher though only supports MSI products and was designed as such. The issue with LU and M-flash is, one, LU flashes within the Windows environment and that is a very dangerous practice, and two, M-flash has the ability to flash your BIOS with any file---you could well end up with your BIOS flashed with a document or Mp3 file. Originally, the forum flasher was developed as a very safe means of flashing the BIOS and to avoid the issues using LU. It is also far safer than using M-Flash as the forum flasher has many checks and safety measures built in.

790FX-GD70 not setting RAM to correct timing nor voltage from SPED

My 790FX-GD70 not setting RAM to correct timing nor voltage from SPED when set to auto. The RAM I have should be 6 6 6 20 @ 1.8V but the motherboard is setting it to 9 9 9 24 @ 1.5 V
The RAM is Crucial 2GB, Ballistix 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-10600 memory BL25664BA1336 • DDR3 PC3-10600 • 6-6-6-20 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR3-1333 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64 of which i have two of then in the two black slots.
Just to rule out the RAM I also tried a different model of RAM whose timing is 7 7 7 24 @ 1.65 which will not allow to boot to windows unless I adjust the voltage manually to 1.70 (1.65 V will still not boot properly) it sets it also at 9 9 9 24 yet this same sticks of RAM will set correctly in a MSI 770 C45 without any adjustments.
Now i will say in the case of the 790FX-GD70 I require no changes in voltage for it to boot with the 1.8 V RAM just the timings are not as they should be. The 790FX-GD70 is stable as is and I will probably leave it at the auto settings but wondered if anyone else encountered similar issues with this board

Looks like this is a bit of an issue for some other users of your RAM and not necessarily a MSI thing! This user has a ASUS board! Good luck and hope you get it sorted out.
Backround:
I bought some DDR3-1333 ram that was advertised as 6-6-6-20 @ 1.8v and, as expected, running on my board's default 1.5v it was only getting like 9-9-9-24. In fact, @ stock voltage the best I could boot up with (unknown stability) was 9-7-7. In an attempt to get the best (advertised?) performance I went ahead and manually set the timings to 6-6-6-20, left all other timings on auto, and upped the voltage to 1.8v
Boots up fine and appears to be stable. However, I do notice the RAM is fairly warm to the touch whereas @ 1.5v it was pretty benign heat-wise. I tried running 1.785v but 3 out of 4 times it would hang on the windows desktop display. So I bumped it back up to 1.8v and I'll run Memtest 86 or something else later tonight.
My question, being a noob and all...
Is running at 1.8v going to hurt something? (See my setup MB, and CPU stats)
Just to repeat, the box and manufacturer do list it as 1.8v spec. (FYI: BL25664BA1336)

790FX-GD70 not POSTing no debug code all LEDs on

Hi
I have had my 790FX-GD70 for almost the past 2 years and it has given me no real problems. But yesterday whilst playing Fallen Earth, my computer froze so I gave it a restart and it froze during windows start up. At this point I opened my case and watched the debug display and this time it froze during post, can't remember the debug code it froze on. I tried restarting a few more time and it would freezes at different points during post. At this point I remove it from its case and start barebones testing it. If I left it for a time I could get into the bios and go to the hardware monitoring page and look a the tempter of the CPU for it froze. There it reported that the tempter was 34C. Stopped testing it last night and when I turned it one this morning it would not even start to post. When I turn it on all the LEDs on the board turn on even the overclocking LED and the overclocking switch also turns and to turn off the system I have to do a hard switch off and UPS.
I have tried it with a different UPS with no effect, tried a different graphics card with no effect. Also tried with different RAM and no RAM no effect.
Computer secs:
MB: MSi 790FX-GD70
CPU: AMD Phenom 2 X4 955 Black Edition
UPS: Antec TRUEPOWER Quattro 850 watt
RAM: Corsair XMS3 4Gig DDR3 can not remember the speed.
GPU: MSI AMD Radeon R6950 twin Frozr 2
CPU Heat Sink: Cooler Mater Hyper N520
Any help would be great.

try with another video card then
Also done that to no effect, currently I don't have a spare CPU that will work on my motherboard. I was hoping that some one has had this problem before because I have never seen my computer start up with all the LEDs on as it starts up. Also the hard drive LED is on constantly even when there is no hard drive plug in.

790FX-GD70 + unlocked 720BE + Nvidia Drivers = Failed boot?

Good evening folks! Been quite a while since I last played in these forums (the rig in my sig is 3+ years old, and long gone.... ), but it's great to see that the tradition of a helpful community seems to have continued on in my absence.
I've didn't have any luck with a search for previous posts on the issue I'm having, but if it's a common issue and I missed a post or faq I'd be happy for a link.
So now to the meat......
I recently returned from the darkside and purchased my first AMD system since AMD dropped S939. I decided on the 790FX-GD70 paired with a 720be and some OCZ ram. Everything on the board seems to be working fine, but I ran into a snag when I loaded the 1.52 beta bios in order to unlock the 4'th core.
The core unlocks fine, and XP completes the initial load (scroll bar), but hangs on a black screen just before getting to the logon page. I immediately suspected a problem loading the vid drivers, and removed the nvidia drivers. The stock XP vid drivers allowed me to boot into windows normally which verified my original suspicions (CPU-Z confirms 4 cores). Re-installing the latest drivers causes windows to hang at the same place, and this doesn't happen without ACC unlocking the 4'th core.
Any ideas?
My current hardware is:
790FX-GD70
720BE
OCZ 1600 DDR3
Sparkle GTX275 Plus

I won't post passwords to MSI FTP, but Tony over at OCZ was good enough to post the the bios updates: http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=59825
Cool!!! Thanks a lot for the link, not only did I get the bios file, but it also put me in the right area to check out Tony's suggested settings on this board for my memory.
edit: It might be a week or so by the time I get around to playing with this (I have other committments with the board that can be satisfied by OCing just the 3 cores for now), but I will report back if I have any luck with the 153 bios, or if an older set of drivers makes the difference.

890fxa-gd70 Motherboards Do Not Boot + video (please help)

So I have TWICE returned this model motherboard for a new one under warranty. The second time they asked me to make sure there was a problem with the board because they didn't detect any problems with the first board I RMAed.
So anyway, I press ON and the board never gets past a few leds lighting up. There is no error code because it doesn't even turn on. Things I have tried:
Different PSU
Different memory in each slot
Different processor
Connected hard drive/ disconnected hard drive
Different graphics cards and 1 in each PCIe slot
I can't update the BIOS because it doesn't boot
I normally run the operating system off my flash drive.
It has always been on an anti-static surface (cardboard)
These boards worked for a little while then just randomly stopped working. The latest board I got booted up for a while then kind of went into a sleep mode that it could never wake up from.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know. It costs me $15 bucks every time I RMA this piece of crap. I have 2 different of these boards in my possession right now having the EXACT same problem!

The PSU is an OCZ ZX Series 1250W (+12VDC @ 104A Single Rail Design)
I also tried my other OCZ 1000watt on it with only 1 GPU plugged in.
The lack of booting happens with 0-4 cards plugged in. Just the lights come on, particularly the red hdd light stays lit.
I tried multiple different types of DDR3.

Does not boot only beep error code 4-3-4-3 Model: M55 MT-M 8810-W8T

Have a M55 MT-m 8810-W8T that does not display.
Power i suppose is OK as it powers up and give beep code of 4-3-4-3. From what I found it is a PHOENIX BIOS Q3.07 OR 4.X version. From searching I can only find that it means that "Boot code was read OK'. After the beep code I still have no display. Have tried on-board VGA (without the PCIe videocard). Tried the PCIe videocard, different memory, reset CMOS ......but still cannot get to the BIOS not boot into Windows.
So what does that exactly mean and how do I get the PC to boot up fully?
Thanks for any help in advance.

That usually means a memory error. Remove all of the memory and install one stick in the first slot. I have also overcome this error by "cleaning" the contacts of the memory module with the eraser of a pencil. Gently "scrub" the gold contacts at the botton of the DIMM, completely remove any residue and re-seat the module. It is possible you are mixing high and low density ram which could cause a situation like this.

New system locks up when not under load 790fx-gd70

My system freezes up. Mouse stops moving (no blue screen). I have not overclocked anything. I replaced my stable motherboard, processor and memory with an upgrade. The system is not stable. I have tested the memory, disabled the onboard sound card, upgraded to the latest drivers and firmware. I now suspect the feature that shares system memory with the video card. How to I stop System Memory from being shared with my video card?
I can see that 1.7GB of my system memory has been assigned over to add to my 256MB video memory, but don't see any way to stop it!
790FX-GD70
Phenom II x3 2.8GHz
OCZ DDR3 / 1066
BFGTech 7800GTX OC
600watt power supply

This board apparently has an incompatibility with my video card. I threw in an old ATI x300SE PCI-E and have not experienced the lock ups. This makes the brand choice clear for a new video card. nvidia lovers beware.

Fails to boot...sometimes 790fx-gd70

This rig is a couple years old and I just installed a new hdd, new ram, and windows 7. The problem is that it won't boot the first time I try, but after I power it off, unplug, and then discharge the electricity...it comes up every time. I have a 790fx-gd70 and I added all of this stuff (mainly because I wanted too) because I was doing something similar before. I would get to the boot screen and then either hang on auto-detecting sata 2 (cd burner) or go on and be fine. Sometimes it would just freeze at the desktop, so I thought it might be the hdd going bad or the ram. All of my temps are good and to my knowledge everything is hooked up correctly.
I read a couple articles saying it might be the ram but its brand new and the same speed as what was in there previously. Please help
Thanks

That part can't be the memory, it must be a powersupply problems, else it would also start without unplugging the PSU.
And the latest Phenom should do 4x 1333 these days.
My money is on the powersupply, as it has bogus numbers for something that's rated 850W

790FX-GD70 - have to boot several times - CMOS Memory Wrong - 2E?

Well I just recently bought this mobo and have some problems already.
My config ============
- Phenom X4 955
- 4GB GoodRam 1333MHz
- Sapphire Radeon HD4890 Vapor-X
- Intel SSD 80GB Gen2
- Samsung H3EG 500GB
- PSU BeQuiet! PurePower L7 530W
All power cables are connected to motherboard and the GPU (even both extra 12V).
========================
At first it worked fine, I installed Windows 7 without any problems, all of the programs etc.
The only thing I changed in BIOS is the CPU Fan speed - because I have a very loud AMD box fan I just set the desired temp. (60C) and set the lowest fan speed for 25% - that's all.
Then, on the next day I started the PC up and all I saw was a black screen - no graphic info on the monitor, all fans running and POST led showing 2E.
I turned it off and the next boot went fine. The PC was running fine and stable the wholeeee day, no problems whatsoever.
After two or three days the problem worsened - it now takes not one but several (probably around 10) reboots to make the PC running. At all times the POST-LED shows "2E". After it finally starts then I see the message CMOS Memory Wrong Hour and Date not set etc. After I set it up all works fine further on (I usually keep my PC running for 10 to 16 hours).
However, there's one other thing - AFTER I turn the PC off it starts again by itself! And it's again with an error! Now, that's sick...
My guess is that something is interfering with the CMOS mem or the chipset. A good indicator of that is the CPU fan - at normal boots I can hear its RPM going down just after the PC starts, way before it gets to initializing memory. With an error-start the fan works at full speed all the time.
So, in short:
1. I have to boot my PC several times before it starts correctly.
2. I get the CMOS Memory Wrong message after a successful boot.
3. When running the PC is stable, has no problems, shows no errors or signs of instability.
4. When I turn it off (Windows -> Shut down) the computer starts again by itself - and with an error again (CPU fan is working on high RPM, screen is black etc.).
Any idea? I unplugged all small cords (Power LED, Power Switch, HDD etc.) and start the PC with a button on mobo - but it made no difference.

OK, it's not the PSU - I have just found what causes the problem.
I followed the trace left by my monitor and apparently my computer will not boot without the monitor turned on before.
I tried several times - every time my screen is off, the PC won't start. When it's on (before the PC itself) everything works fine.
I guess I have to wait for my new screen and check it out again. As I said - I use an old CRT Dell with VGA -> DVI adapter - and I believe it is the cause.
I noticed that even putting the adapter itself on the cable when the monitor is on, makes it react to it. Maybe there's some electric charge that goes through the card to the mobo? I don't know. Odd enough - this is the source of the problem - 95% sure
Anybody has any idea why it happens?

System won't boot properly (MSI 790FX-GD70)

Board - 790FX-GD70
CPU - AMD Phenom II Multi-Core Processor
RAM - 4GB OCZ DDR3 OCZ3G1333LV4G
Video Card - Radeon HD 5770
Power Supply - 750W OCZ Fatality
When I start the comp, the MSI logo appears, then onto the Windows XP loading screen, and when it's supposed to go to the Windows login page my screen goes blank. This only happens when I try to start up Windows normally but I can view everything in Safe Mode.
I'm a huge noob at this so please bear with me. Any help is greatly appreciated.

890FXA-GD70 no boot with Razer Naga (on the latest 2 biosses)

With the 890FXA-GD70 I had no problems well still have no problems but if I run on either the latest bios 1.12 (1.C) or the one before that 1.11 (1.B) the mobo will hang on initialising USB controllers if you have the Razer Naga (and from what I heard other razer mouses as well). On the BIOS I'm running now 1.10 (1.A) I have no problems so I'm kind off wondering what you guys changed to the latests 2 BIOS that makes the motherboard unable to boot with the Razer mice.
If you need other info you can have it but as I'm sure this is not a hardware problem but a BIOS problem I doubt any other info would be of use to solving the problem.
I checked with multible power option (EuP/CPU Phase/DDR Phase/Cool & Quiet/C1E) but even with those disabled the motherboard still hangs on initialising USB controllers.
On Fail-safe defaults the motherboard also hangs on initializing USB controllers.
If I plug the mouse in after Windows has started the whole computer just freezes (on the 1.11 or 1.12 BIOS).
If I need to forward this to support do tell as it seems quite weird that 2 bios updates where nothing much has changed besides:
1.11:
- Update CPU AGESA code.
- Update RAID option ROM.
- Improved memory compatibility.
1.12
- Update CPU module.
Cause the BIOS/motherboard to hang on initialising usb controllers.

PSU has nothing to do with it, but it's a 1500W MaxRevo (Gold 94% efficiency).
Processor is a Phenom II X6 1100T
Memory is also supported memory which is Kingston KVR1333D3N9 4x => 16GB
After I flash the BIOS I always clear the CMOS actually twice since the first time I try to save the BIOS options (AHCI=on and no bootlogo etc.) the system does not boot XD but that might be because I don't unplug the powercord while I clear the CMOS though the computer is completely turned off. After I clear the CMOS a second time it will be able to save the options and normally boot.
A CMOS clear shouldn't be required actually since the BIOS update (DOS-WAY) destroys the CMOS checksum doing the same as a CMOS clear except for keeping the date (all other BIOS options are reset).
For kicks I've tried the in the BIOS 1.12 (1.C) I've put the Razer Naga in the USB2 slot I normally put it on the back = no boot, USB3 slots = no boot, front panel USB = no boot. Hell the first thing I do is trying usb-ports or different ports if something does not work like the Adaptec Raid Cards in the EFI mobo's.
I've been in IT for like 6 years now and I've never had problems with my Razer mouse(s) as I had an Razer Imperator before the Razer Naga. The 790FX-GD70 motherboard I had never had problems with it (besides it dying of old age ;P). Apperantly since the latest update the mouse also works on the 990FXA-GD80 motherboards without problems in the BIOS anymore.
Like I said the weird thing to me is that it happens with the 1.11 (1.B) and the 1.12 (1.C) bios while the 1.10 (1.A) bios (which is the one I'm on now) works perfectly. Which in logical sence makes the next 2 biosses bad as something is programmed in there differently than the 1.A bios and cause the Razer Naga (and most likely other gaming mice with own firmware) to fail. This should not be that way seeing as the if the only thing that is added to the bios (from 1.A on) is better cpu support, more memory support and the raid option rom not that I'm into bios programming but if the code was continued from the previous bios code and not rewritten completly the motherboard would still boot with the Naga period.

Memory Upgrade on my 790FX-GD70 (MS-7577) Board

Hi, I'm new on here and a sliver surfer, so please be gentle with me. I've been building computers for a few years now, I started back in 2001 when I had to retire from work because of medical problems (I am confined to a wheelchair) instead of letting it get me down I started to read books on building my own PC. I have built 6 in that time and all are still working well, however, my knowledge is still limited.
So I have a question I would like to ask you, I've been trying to upgrade the memory on my motherboard a 790FX-GD70 board. From Corsair Dominator DDR3 Part No TW3X4G16009D 4Gb, X2 2Gb Modules 1600MHz 9-9-9-24 1.8 volts ver1.1. To Corsair XMS3 DDR3 Part No: CMX16GX3M2A1333C9 16Gb, 2X8Gb Modules 1333MHz 9-9-9-24 1.50volts ver8.21. But I have had a problem, when I install 1 X 8Gb module into slot 1 the PC seems to run fine, but when I install the second 8Gb module into slot 2 my system is very unstable and I get the blue screen of death.
I have been advised that the maximum Gb per dimm slot is 4Gb is that correct? or is it my BIOS that needs updating? if so that is something that I will not try myself I will have to get an expert in to help with that.
Please can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance, Steve.

Hi Wooly,
I have gone through what you suggested but I had no luck running the 16GB (2X8GB Modules). So I went out today and I bought from my local PC Store a new kit of 16GB of DDR3 16GB (4X4GB Modules) 1600MHz and clocked them at 1333MHZ and set the voltage to 1.65, booted up my system and all's fine. The system has been running all afternoon and it is now stable.
