790GX-G65 and Phenom II X6 1100t

Hey!
I wanted to know if my 790GX-G65 supports Phenom II X6 1100t?
I tried the CPU support tool, but it didn't find any mobos that support it. So I don't think that tool is very up to date... According to the tool my mobo does support 1090t version thou, so if you jump to conclusions it might support 1100t too! :D
Thanks for help!

Interesting! I've been wondering this myself. The CPU Test Report is outdated. It only shows CPUs that test okay with the 790GX-G65 up to the v4.2 update. Version 4.4 is out, and still no update to the CPU Test Report for BIOS versions 4.3 and 4.4. I just contacted MSI about this, but I'm wondering since the "outdated" CPU Test Report doesn't show support, whether I'll get another "No"?

790GX-G65 and Phenom II-955BE anyone else have this? no voltage options

Hi I am new to this site...I have gotten this board and the CPU too...
anyone else have this combo...?
I booted it with a Athlon II-250 and all was great so i grabbed a 955BE and cleared the CMOS and proceeded to fire this puppy up...
so far its booted everytime without a hitch...
Only issue so far is ALL the voltage options are Grayed out...
not sure which BIOS I have but I have DL'd the MSI USB tool and the latest BIOS so we'll see what happens...
it boots at the default 200x16 but not anything more...
hopefully a BIOS update lets me get the options to clock this puppy up some more...

You can RMA all you like....but looking at the manual is far more interesting:
The grey section reads:
Quote
PC Health Status
CPU/ System Temperature, CPU FAN/ SYS FAN1/ SYS FAN2 Speed, CPU
Vcore, 3.3V, 5V, 12V
These items display the current status of all of the monitored hardware devices/
components such as CPU voltage, temperatures and all fans’ speeds.
The only mention of power I read here:
Quote
CPU Phase Control
When set to [Auto], the hardware will auto adjust the CPU power phase according to
the loading of CPU to reach the best power saving function.
No mention anywhere about voltages....did you ever open the manual at all?
Simply put, there are NO Voltage options in the BIOS, so RMA will give the exact same board with the same options.
Check a manual before you buy or complain about a board, all info is in there.

790gx-g65 with phenom quad cpu vin core voltage ?

Hi people I wonder some experts may be able to help me here ?
For weeks and weeks I have been struggling to get my PC to run correctly or boot into windows, I have a 3 boot system Vista,Seven and XP, and had always been using the windows 7 O/S until about three weeks ago when it failed to boot, I managed to get into vista, and XP so assumed something had become corrupt, but noticed XP verry sluggish to respond, and the mouse curser barely reacts, now vista also wont boot, and only accasionally will xp, I have run virus scans, and mailware scans, tune up programs on all drives, disconnected all but boot drive,and taken ram out one by one, but nothing seems to sort out the problem, today I noticed an amd overdrive tool that gives some system stats, and noticed that all my cpu cores run at arround 1 to 1.9 volts, but vin2 is at 154.88 volts, surely not ?, all tempretures appear ok, I'm hoping its a glitch of some type, but if not, how do I change it, or any ideas as to cause and what I may do to get my system back ?
System specs as follows:-
MSI 790GX-G65 790GX AM3 DDR3 VGA DVI HDMI 8 channel Blu-ray audio ATX Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition 3.2 GHz
Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz HyperX Memory Kit CL7 1.7V
Corsair Performance Series 128GB 2.5" SATAII Solid State Hard Drive
power supply came with case it says :- 500 watt, Raidmax amp ratings :- +3.3 = 28.0a +5v = 38.0a +12v = 22.0a -5v = 0.5 a -12v = 0.8a +5vsb = 2.0 a
Graphics currently on board hd3300
I think thats about all that may be relivent, some help would be grately appretiated

Yes to what Fredrik said about Raidmax, those things belong in a junk box not a PC box. $25 piece of garbage. Fredrik put it too mildly.
Maybe something like this: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/135514 Corsair TX650W

720 X3 -790GX-G65 and DDR 1600 ?

Hi all , New MSI customer here .
Ok ,So I got me a 790GX-G65 motherboard for cheap from Newegg on a "open box" deal $89.99 . Also got a 4870 1gb "open box" tooo for $129.99 and 4gb OCZ DDR1600 "new retail" for $65.99 (see signiture for model #'s) for a sweet upgrade from my BIOSTAR A770 A2+ motherboard with a 5000+ Black Edition along with 2x1gb Super Talent DDR800 and 3870 512mb .
The 790GX-G65 was still in anti-static bag un-opened and all accessories were there ,only the sticker seal on the box was opened (lucky me) . I used My Power suppy and other goodies like , case , DVD and CD drives from my previous build and could'nt be happier about the performance boost I got for the $$$ spend !
Ok, now that I've tried to give you a little background on the build here's is my issue or question (whichever you prefer) :
I cannot get my memory to run at 1600 regardless of what I do , I could'nt even run 1333mhz stable until I flashed to latest BIOS 1.3 ( board came with 1.1 ) @1333 RiG would run just fine booting up and up to desktop any type of stress at all like multi tasking it would get "flakey" and start pausing and jumping and gaming was out of the question, as the Video driver ( 9.4 BTW )would crash as soon as 3D started . After flashing to 1.3 bios all is well at 1333 and stable in Prime for hours on end with no errors. Games run well tooo ( Crysis all "very high" settings with 8xAA and 16xAF via CCC , smooth as silk @ 1280X1024 in Windows 7 RC ) .
This is what I've tried so far to get RAM up to 1600mhz with no avail . BTW running in Dimms 3+4 (the two furthest from CPU socket)at the moment !
1) changed fsb/dram ratio to 1.4 ............no luck !
2) raised dram voltage all the way up to 1.92 ! ........no luck !
3) set timings to OCZ's specs of 8-8-8-24 (and even set all timings to slowest BIOS would allow)..... no luck !
4) tried lowering HT and NB ratios along with CPU multiplier and raising FSB using 1.2 and 1.3.3 memory dividers to get ram up to 1600 without overclocking the CPU ......... no luck !
5) about every combination of 1-4
and a few other things tooooo , can't remember every tweak I've tried !
I get a post loop that will go on forever and never show anything on the screen when RAM is in dimms 3-4 , and using Dimms 1-2 I make it up to the initializing USB devices ,then get Cmos checksum error, which upon enter BIOS menu it has changed everything to "optimized defaults" without any input from me !
I'm alittle lost as to what to try next ,but I'd sure like to try to get the RAM up to 1600mhz instead of 1333mhz ,regardless of , the performance difference ( I read the post about AMD 1333 vs 1600 performance BTW )
Since the memory is rated to run at that speed ,I'd atleast like to see it run that speed if nothing else .
I don't think Power is a problem as I can overclock the 720 x3 up to 3.8 with just changing the multi to 19x and stable at stock voltage ( ******** ) ,even though 3.9 seems to be the wall with this ( 906 ) CPU ,that I have as no amount of volts will get me over that
Like I said earlier NEW MSI Customer ,,have played with a few older MSI boards ,but they were much older and other folks . This is the first MSI purchase made by myself , so far I 'm liking what I see
Any suggestions ????? Or am I overlooking the Obvious ??
Thanks in advance ,for any replys!

Do not have this board myself, but it may have to do with the memory used. OCZ memory's name says it all:
" Special Ops Urban Elite "
Much prefer Corsair, and have ever since dear Richard helped me out a thousand years ago.
I've owned just about every brand of memory ( or installed on clients machines ) available to the mainsteam public from retail sellers , I like Corsair toooo ,but was budget building on this build for myself and have used OCZ memory on a few builds for customers and never had any problems whatsoever with their memory .
The main reason I went with this choice on the memory was #1 price verses timings and speed compared to Corsair or Kingston Hyper X ,, Corsair was high dollar and timings were alittle slow in the price range I was looking for ,,,Kingstons timings were slowwwwww and voltage requirements were toooo high for my taste .
From what I've seen , the only difference in these modules compared to OCZ's Gold edition is the heat spreader ,,timings seem to be the same . So I don't believe "Special Ops Urban Elite " means anything other than other than the color of the heat spreader used on it,,which I really could'nt care less about !
Thanks for the input ,,, any and all comments or suggestions are appreciated !

Msi 790GX-G65 and "EB" Ram question....

Hiya All,
Q: could it be that "OCZ DDR3 ram p3 1600 EB 2GK" won't work with a MSI 790GX-G65 mobo because of the "EB" (enhancend Bandwidth) ? ? ?
can't find anything on EB in the manual or on the net concerning the MSI 790GX-G65 mobo
System freezes randomly, sometimes during start up sometimes after an hour.
all temps are okay and nothing is OC-ed.
got ati 4870 gfx card.
550 W power suply.
cpu: AMD phenom2 x3 720 black edition
thanks to any one willing to look into this matter
Bassman404
p.s. asking this for a friend so hard to give more info than this atm

thanks for your quick reply
The PSU is a HKC USP5550
and forgot to mention that the ram is running on 1333 MHz not 1600MHz.(not trying to run it higher than 1333 MHz atm)
i'm wondering if the "enhancend bandwidth" could be the cause of the system freezing?
or in other words do i have the wrong RAM?
and thanks allready

890GXM-G65 and Phenom II X2 555

Hey guys. Just picked up the following combo and I'm having a hard time unlocking the other cores on this chip. I already updated to Bios 1.6 but when I set the core unlock to enabled, and reboot, the system will not post. Any ideas?

Quote from: Henry on 06-May-10, 07:28:08
Did you update to BIOS 1.6 right off the bat without trying to unlock the cores 1st? After all unlock cores was in BIOS 1.2 and if your MB had that already there was no need to update BIOS for it. As far as I know the main reason for 1.6 was 6 core CPU support. Aside from that I hope that you understand that not all of the Ph. ll X2's will successfully unlock, there's no guarantee it will happen.
The board shipped with version 1.0 and I upgraded to 1.4 then to 1.6. I understand that not all of them unlock but I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something like extra voltage etc...

790GX-G65 worst experience of all time

So here i was an avg gamer. The only game i ever played was Arma 2 That game was CPU intensive and could only max out at 31-35 avg FPS.
My build specs were:
MSI 975x platinum edition
core 2 duo E6700 (2.66ghz OC to 3.10ghz)
4gb ddr 2 ram 667mhz
maxtor 250GB
Antec Neo Power Blue 650 watt PSU
ATI HD 4870 (Palit sonic dual edition) 512MB
My friend showed off his gaming rig. 4gb ddr3 and AMD phenom II x4 945.. His benchmarks in Arma 2 were great. I had just enough money. so i sold my Mobo, cpu, and ram and bought the following:
MSI 790GX-G65
AMD phenom II x4 945 (95watt) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103809&cm_re=phenom_II_945-_-19-103-809-_-Product)
and G-skill 2x1GB DDR3 1333mhz
500GB Samsung spinpoint f3
I removed cleaned and properly installed everything... And this has been my experience so far....
tried to boot from my old maxtor first just to test out my new cpu's power. had to change a few boot settings. when i got onto the logon screen BAM a gfx glitch (pink looked like a thumb print) and pc was completely unresponsive...
i thought it was my gfx card (i had just rma'd the thing because of bad memory problems) so i couldnt believe it.. i quickly shut off to prevent further damage... to my surprise when i rebooted to bios, no gfx glitch. i figured it was the drivers.. my friend suggest i install windows 7 on my new spinpoint and start fresh..
I spend 3 hours trying to install windows 7 because the disc would never finnish. it would freeze after the logo... i went back to bios changed a few things unplugged devices... finally i thought it was the new ram.. tried out both ram chips individually in dimm1 and dimm2 one by one to no avail. windows memory diagnoistics reported no problems. We finally managed to load it after we found out the OC switch on the mobo was on.. weird the CPU was running at 3.30ghz instead 3.0. But when the completing installation stage started windows the pc would just randomly reboot also causing the installation to be corrupted forcing me to try again and again and again
So i put vista in, it finally installed but it would crash when "adjusting windows performance". This told me it was a hardware problem... me and my friend narrowed it down to the cpu/mobo. What fixed my problem was lowering the multiplier from default (x15) to x13. To our surprise i could finally logon to the new windows. My friend told me to instantly download prime95 and run a test to see what was going on.. Also to check CPU-Z and temps
Almost instantly after hitting the start button in prime95 the pc crashed. So fast it felt like the start button was more like a "shutdown" button :O
CPU-Z said that the cpu voltage was at 1.456 and avg around there... He told me it shouldnt be like that since his 945 avgs out at 1.3 or less
Changing the bios "CPU Voltage" would make the pc not startup.. (screen would stay black) i couldn't even get into the bios. So i had to "clr CMOS" and try again.... and again.... and not ONE setting i tried for the "CPU voltage" was successful...
Finally i installed windows 7 and would you look at that.. it installed. But anything higher than x13 muiltiplier would cause crashing in any programs... even sometimes starting CPU-Z would crash.. watching 1080P videos would crash... everytime everytime...
and windows was so unresponsive at times with these weird stutters that lasted 1-3 seconds every 5 seconds. It was ridiculous. Why should i have to underclock my new cpu from the default values to 2.6 just to start my OS..
We Tried everything buying new thermal paste reapplying thermal paste (6 times) changing coolers, i bought the best paste out there (artic silver 5) nothing...
Finally changing the mobo to optimized defaults again and going directly to the "CPU Voltage" setting changing it to 1.284V my mobo booted without having to clear cmos. BUT HERE IS THE SHOCKER: temps where at 85C-90C range like 200F !!!!! i couldnt believe it.. so i shut off instantly and clrd cmos..temps dropped down again to the low to high 40's.
Here i am now.. with an underclocked overvoltaged phenom II x4 945 edition barely able to run windows. My bios is updated to the latest wich is 4.10 and i dont know what else to do. Faulty CPU? doubt it. All i know so far is that my mobo is just sending waay to much power to my cpu causing the quick overheat and shut off. I've spent 5 miserable days since i got my new build trying to just run the default values. NOthing... so i'm contacting you msi guys and the people on these forums to please guide me. my last 5 days have been hell..
Anyways my friend says my new cpu is not on the mobo support list which is true, but the other 945 is. not the new revision i have so maybe thats also a contributing factor....
O and another weird thing.. sometimes i can play arma 2.. performance is not too good because of the hiccups, but it doesnt crash my pc.. Except when i tried to raise the cpu/fsb multiplier up to x14 it would crash sometimes.
ANYWAYS please help me figure this out i dont understand all these experiences dont make sense to me.

Well, this is the motherboard i have:
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1739&maincat_no=1
I dont know how to check if its a "winkie" board.?
Anyways. I can confirm that flashing the bios back to 4.0 did nohing for me.. Exact same results. I also changed my PSU and got exact same problem.
So so far its not:
Ram
PSU
Cooler (i'm pretty sure its not the cooler because i went from my antec cooler to reapplying paste on my antec to stock cooler to reapplying paste on stock cooler twice. After 4-5 times playing with the coolers and paste i'm pretty sure its not the Cooler/paste causing the issue.
Quote
And 97C isn't possible, the board should shutdown at about 70C.
I gurantee you this is what the motherboard monitoring stated.
yes 45C isnt good i know that. And i cant seem to do anything about it. The weird thing is the first test run the temperature was at high 30's second try with reapplied paste bios said temperature was at the low 20's (21-23C) But as i booted OCCt temperatures readings said 70C which made no sense to me.
So i finally put the stock cooler and so far all the readings have been in the 43-47C range. Except for that one time i changed the "Cpu Voltage (V)" to 1.2840 which btw was the highest setting possible in the bios and caused my readings to go off the chart at 97C range. I can confirm doing this over and over will give me same results. All the higher settings are in red or "Not recommended" and also force the mobo to not boot. 1.2840V is the only setting that i can change aside from auto that will alow my mobo to reboot. And its also the highest thats not in the red zone
I'm now able to get on with you guys because the multiplier is at 13X and temps in OCCT AND mobo are conistent with one another reading at 45-47C.
My friend is suggesting me to get a new mobo but before i do i want to know if it's really the motherboard or the cpu... I bought this cpu last week and i can still RMA it if thats the problem.

MSI 790GX-G65 Hangs when loading windows

Specs:
Corsair 650W PSU (New)
MSI 790GX-G65
AMD Phenom II - Deneb 810 2.6 GHZ with XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 Heatsink(New)
GeForce 260gx(Not in board at the moment)
4x1gb SuperTalent 1333ghz DDR3
500GB Seagate (used to be an external)
64GB Crucial SSD (New, no OS)
I bought my computer in July 2009 and have had a reoccurring problem where, at any random point, my computer would completely lock up causing me to force shut down.
At first I thought it was a power supply so I replaced that and the problem persisted. Usually I would be on my computer, it would hang and I would restart it and everything would be fine for the rest of the day. Some days it wouldn't hang at all and run perfectly fine. I thought that maybe it was a heat issue so I've had my case open with a box fan sucking air out it. I just recently bought a new heat sink for my CPU to sure up any doubt.
Last weekend, I attempted to do some more troubleshooting and updated my BIOS, but my computer really didn't like it. Now it will not boot Windows after POST. I cleared CMOS and tried again but the same issue would occur. I would get into the Windows loading screen and the computer would lock up or it would make it to the login screen but would restart.
I considered the possibility that my HDD, being an old external, might have been the problem so I just recently purchased a new SSD. Last night I plugged in the SSD and in my attempt to load Windows on it, it would completely lock up the same exact way. I've narrowed it down to either being the SATA cables or the SATA connectors to the motherboard.
The two SATA cables that I am using are a bit old. One of them I found in my cable drawer and don't know how old it is or what the gb/s rating on it is. The other cable came stock with the MoBo and I've been using that one since the rig was built. I am going to buy some new SATA cables tonight and try again, but would it be that the motherboard SATA connectors are faulty or something? I was about to buy a new Motherboard but this one is POSTing fine and reading all of my hardware. What other issues could there be? Any help would be very much appreciated.

I was reading about how to install the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<.
It's saying in step 3:
Quote
If your MSI Retail Board is properly detected and you have pressed the >OK< button in the message box, an option box will pop up that allows you to choose between three different operating modes.
I came across this FAQ:
Quote
->Q: Can I prepare USB stick in another mainboard?
A: * If you want to use method 3 it will not be possible, since Tool will detect different MSI board which uses a corresponding different BIOS.
* If your other mainboard is retail MSI, yes you can.
My current system is unusable which will mean that I'll have to install and create the USB flasher on a laptop that doesn't have a MSI MoBo. Will it still work?

790GX-G65 will not post

I have been through pretty much all of these forums posts relevant to the 790GX-G65 and AMD Phenom II cpu combination trying to get my 4 sticks of OCZ 1333 gaming RAM to work in any stable configuration and my board appears to have finally given up the ghost. It now refuses to post no matter which RAM chip I place in the first slot and whether the CMOS has been reset. I reduced the load on the PSU by removing the radeon 4850 and using the integrated graphics but no joy. I have also tried some 1GB patriot Ram sticks that I was using for a couple of months before upgrading the RAM (I am regretting that now) and nothing works. I wasn't even trying to overclock the system, just get a stable 8GB for some gaming and Photo editing.
This board is going to be returned to the supplier but for future reference could someone shed some light on the function of the five LEDs beside the RAM slots. LED DB1 (someone called it LED Debug1 in anther post) and LED1-4 as I take it they are diagnostic LEDs but I could not find any mention of them in my manual (yes it does get read occasionally). They might be of help in figuring out problems like I have experienced.
Any help would be appreciated

Another thing for you to keep in mind is that you will find that AMD systems are much better if you only use 2 sticks of RAM and not 4 and spec'd for AMD instead of Intel.
It seems you are another one. "Each module is 100% hand-tested for quality assurance and compatibility with the latest Intel P35 motherboards"
Sadly when I was buying RAM I went with the advice of the local computer specialist shop (and no dublin is not the centre of the computer modding world but this place did specialize in overclocking etc) also as I had tried ADATA modules as well before switching to the OCZ I had looked at the MSI tech sheets and found
http://www.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1739.pdf which has the platinum OCZ sticks working with 4 DIMMs, so I had made an attempt to check this out. I underestimated the differences between the platinum and gold OCZ sticks which comes down to the timings 7-7-7-20 for the platinum at 1.8v PN - OCZ3P13331G (msi approved for 4 sticks) and 9-9-9-20 for the gold at 1.7v PN - OCZ3G13331G (not working for me)
I can't remember if the outside of the box states use 1.5v RAM, I know the manual does in two places pages 1-2 and 2-6 (yes I missed them) but it seems that a lot of people have been caught out by not realizing that DDRIII has such a range of specifications. I used to think that the memory classes were fairly tightly specified (my mistake). I have never heard of any of the mainstream computer magazines or websites (ars techina, ANandTech and Toms Hardware) mentioning memory problems with these chipset/CPU/RAM combinations and there probably should be at least an "important box" added to the upgrade memory portion of the manuals linking to the approved RAM list for future AM3 systems if any of the MSI tech people are reading this.
While I am waiting for my new motherboard I suppose I should see about returning my OCZ memory for four Kingston MSI approved 1.5 v sticks, I am not ready to give up on this and return to my old macbook and mac mini.

790GX-G65 (...yet another one) LAN problem

Greetings to all!
System specs:
Mobo: 790GX-GD65
CPU: Phenom II 550 x2
RAM: Kingston 2x2GB 1333 DDR3 (value ram)
PSU: Seasonic S12 430W
OS: Win XP Pro SP3 and Kubuntu 9.04
From the very first day that I bought this system (2 months ago) I encountered problems with my LAN port. The mobo had BIOS version 1.1 which I upgraded to 1.3.
The LAN port is connected to a router Zyxell 660H-61. The IP is assigned by DHCP.
So let me describe the problem. When I am connected to the internet and browse, sometimes it suddenly disconnects and connects immediately in a sec. The "local area connection status" icon pops two messages saying "network disconnected" and "local area connection is now connected".
Sometimes it never reconnects. When I try the "repair" it stucks at the point when it tries to get the IP.
The LAN port seems to be dead. Restarting the PC does nothing to fix it. Restarting and entering Kubuntu 9.04 shows also the LAN port dead.
THE ONLY WAY to fix this problem is to turn the PC off, turn the button of the PSU off for some secs, then turn the PSU button on, turn the PC on and voila! LAN port is alive again!
I have encountered this problem for over 20 times and this was the only way to make it work.
I would like to know if there is a fix for this problem. Are MSI engineers aware of this problem? Will I have to RMA my mainboard? It seems to me that this is NOT a driver problem but a hardware one.

Thanks for your effort and help guys but...
@stu
The cable is properly "clicked" into the LAN port and I have double and triple-checked it.
@DeHillBilly
1. I don't quite understand the question. What do you mean "trying it without the router"?
2. I have the latest drivers but I don't think it is a matter of drivers since the same thing happens at Kubuntu 9.04 too. (see my first post)
3. I have tried a different cable but results where the same.
@connlaoi
SKU? You mean the model? It is a Seasonic S12-430. I really don't think that a quality PSU like that is not able to manage the load of my 790GX-G65 plus a Phenom II 550, a couple of low voltage (1,5V) DDR3s and an HDD Western Digital 640GB. (I don't have a graphics card!)
All these working at idle...
After all the PSU can give 384 Watts at 12V lines (14+15 Amperes) which would be enough to "feed" that rig plus a medium to high end card working at full throttle.
Let's just don't exaggerate when it comes to power supplies actually needed by most users.
One more hint which I don't know if it might be useful: When I first bought the 790GX-G65 and the PH II, I installed my old nvidia 7600GT. I connected my monitor to the 7600GT but I had NO signal. The card, seemed to be dead, but was NOT, no matter what I tried. One day I had ,for some reason I don't remmeber, to unplug the power cables from the wall (my PC was turned off of course in case anyone wonders :D).
When I turned it on, like a miracle, my gfx card was recognized, alive and working.
So the same "trick" that I do to revive my LAN port whenever it ""decides" to die, did work for the seemingly dead gfx card.
The "trick" actually is some sort of reseting the board as it totally cuts the electrical power from it. Would that mean that there is something faulty at the BIOS? Something faulty at the Realtek chip responsible for my ethernet connection?
I am confused...
EDIT: It seems that another person has almost the exact same problem with me! https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129403.0 (Network problems with MSI 790FX-GD70)

Memory: 4x 2GB DDR3 Apacer (2GB UNB PC3-10600 CL9). Don't have more info right now.
Video: On-board.
Hard-drives: 1x 500GB Western Digital (Removed)
Peripheral Devices: PCI Wi-Fi card (Removed)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
PSU: ISO-500PP Switching PSU, Max Output 420W rated 23.0A @ 12V
Symptoms:
Black screen with blinking monitor LED (connected via DVI).
All 5 blue M/B LEDs light up.
No POST.
No Beeps (connected PC speaker to JFP2 according to maunal)
No peripheral activation, e.g. no keyboard lights / mouse.
All funs run (incl. PSU fan).
If USB keyboard is plugged in when powered, keyboard function LED lights up for a second, then dies.
Suspected Causes:
Broken CPU
Broken PSU. It is the only component I skimped on with this system (420W), but I was saving money and didn't have a video card DVD drive or anything fancy connected. Worked great until now.
Things I have tried:
Left it overnight.
Reseated CPU and heatsink (did not reapply thermal paste).
Cleaned heatsink under CPU Fan.
Removed PSU and M/B from case.
Disconnected everything.
Laid M/B on anti-static bag with only power supply and monitor via DVI cable.
Removed all RAM. Starting produces no beeps from PC speaker (via JFP2). Suspect broken CPU.
Some things I have not tried:
A different PSU
VGA output
Different AM2 CPU (don't have one)
New thermal paste
Clearing CMOS and removing battery. Not sure how to do this (do I need to remove CMOS battery and hold clr CMOS button for 60s?)
Since everything on the M/B lights up (incl. blinking Wi-Fi LED when it was connected), I suspect a bricked CPU.
Where do I go from here?
(edit: added keyboard LED symptom)

@Fredrik:
Yes, I tried with 1 RAM DIMM in different positions. I connected a PC speaker and my standard speakers via the audio jack (some new M/Bs apparently output to it). I don't have access to another compatible system to try my CPU on. Very infrequent thunderstorms.
@cronnin:
1. Placed M/B on unpainted wooden table. Good point about the anti-static bag - I forgot that it conducts. No change in symptoms.
2. Everything is disconnected. I've tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots and connected a CRT monitor via VGA. No video out.
3. I connected an old PC speaker to pins 2 and 8 of JFP2 and plugged in normal speakers via green audio jack on M/B. I can't get it to produce any sound whatsoever.
4. FSB overclock switches are both ON.
5. I pressed and held CLR_CMOS for 10 seconds while ATX power was connected and system unpowered. Didn't touch the battery.
More Things I Tried:
Used a multimeter to test my PSU ATX outputs on the board when powered on. I get a steady 12.35V, 5.2V and 3V at the M/B power connector. Starting to think the PSU is OK, but still can't be sure. If there was a lack of current, wouldn't the voltages start to break-down?

790GX-G65 Phenom II 550 Overclocking BSOD

Ok so this is my 1st post here so forgive me if i don't get it correct.
My system is:
MB - 790GX-G65
Bios v1.6 11302009, I have turned off quiet n cool, spread spectrum, and CPU C1E State, (these are the only settings i changed in bios besides boot sequence and splash screen).
CPU - Phenom II X2 550
3.939Ghz (19.5 multiplier, 1.5v cpu core, 1.52v vdd cpu core, 1.3v cpu nb, fsb 202, temp never got past 55c under load)
RAM - OCZ reaper(12800) 2x2Gb 1600
6-6-6-18 1T 1333 1.71v
Vid - (2) Sapphire 4850 1gb
(Stock OC from Sapphire) 625Mhz gpu, 993Mhz ram
HD - Sata samsung 500Gig
DVD - LG IDE DVD +-Berner
PSU - 700w OCZ Stealth Extreme
Mouse/Keyboard - Logitech MX518, Logitech wireless keyboard+mouse
Fans - I have 7 120mm Yate Loon (93 cfm), and 1 200mm coolermaster (150 cfm)
Case - Coolermaster HAF 922
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate X64
Now, onto the issue. The setup i listed above seems to be stable, I ran Everest Ultimate Edition v5.30's stability test for over 5hr's without a problem. So i thought it was all good, well turns out i was wrong. So I shut down the stability test and was surfing around on the net for a couple hours, watching movies, posting on forums, ect, then wham! i get a BSOD. I restart and look at my Event Viewer and see Critical: Kernel-Power 41 (63), so i do some looking around on google and find that this error can be cause by anything from drivers to hibernate. I turned off hibernate in windows and updated all my drivers and restarted. It seemed ok again for a couple hr's and then the bsod came back.
Did some more research and then disabled RacTask in the Task Scheduler, Changed my hibernate size to 100% (powercfg/hibernate /size 100), Ran a filecheck (sfc/scannow) nothing was found. Restarted after all of that, played around for a couple of hr's then the same BSOD kernel-power 41 (63)
I thought it might be my memory or timing, the stock timing is for 7-7-7-24, 1600, 1.7v and i have mine at 6-6-6-18, 1T, 1333, 1.7v. So i set my CPU back to its stock settings (3.1Ghz, Auto voltage) and did a windows ram test after startup. The test said that everything was ok. I have been running Everest for 11hr's, so i'm fairly sure that my memory is ok and not causing the bsod.
Can anyone tell me what else to do to get rid of this kernel-power issue? Bios settings, Windows services, tricks i'm willing to try just about anything atm.
Thanks in advance.

Nope, i unplugged the bad hd and still getting the error...
Figured i'd keep this updated if anyone else has this problem.

790GX G65 Firewire and USB problem

I've m-audio firewire 410 sound card and cubase5 (has a usb dongle to work)
before this mainboard I was using K9A2 platinium V2 and Amd 9950 cpu everything was working perfectly
now I've upgraded my board (as you see) and bought a AMD 955
now when I install the sound card driver it's making somekind of digital distortion and also the sound is moving to faster or slower (all the time) so I'M hearing funny voices
The Cubase5 Usb dongle is having some connection problem. It force me to change the usb port everytime I start cubase
I've updated my bios but guess what.... They're still with me.
Please some help
I'm using Vista home premium 32, I've tried it on Xp and windows 7 64 RC7100 the resoult is always the same

Are the energy settings properly configured for USB and the CPU?
Could be Cubase doesn't like Cool & Quite?
Can Cubase work with quad-core?
Can the powersupply handle everything?
What is in your system, we don't know much: >>Posting Guide<<
Read the guide this time.
My system is
MSI 790GX G65 , AMD 955 BE, Corsair 1600 MHZ 4 GB (TW3X4G1600C9D) , 6 HDD (one is IDE), ZOTAX 9800 GTX+, 750 watt PSU(corsair TX750W)
I've some pci card for my music buss. but i didn't install them yet. Not before everything works fine
Cubase works fine with quad core , my ex-system was a quad core.
the problem with cubase comes this way. I turn on the pc (dongle is on all the time) start cubase and get the message "Connection problem with dongle change the usb port) after I change it everthing works fine. infact I'm not making cubase problem a big deal. my real problem is firewire.
About the energy settings, I didn't change anything on mainboard, why do I need to change the power settings for usb? aren't they standart?

DKA790GX Platinum and Phenom 2 1100T

Hello,
Currently i am running DKA790GX Platinum with BIOS 1.G0 and AMD Phenom 2 X4 965 Deneb C3.
I am going to upgrade my CPU to Phenom 2 X6 1100T Thuban.
The problem is that X6 1100T is not on the list of supported processor by that Board. http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1552&maincat_no=1
Maximum Supported CPU only 1090T, according to that list.
My question is :
I am in needs to upgrade to more powerful CPU.
(Considering that, X6 1035T - X6 1090T are supported)
will 1100T be working on my Board?
Thanks

When will MSI update the BIOS to support 1100T?
All six cores Thuban are already supported except 1100T.
I think it is not that difficult for MS to edit BIOS and add support for 1100T.
C'mon, i am your loyal customer. Pleaaseee...
Thx

790GX-G65 and Phenom II X6 1100t
