790gx-g65 won't post

cpu and memory are all that is attached to the motherboard.
alll the motherboard lights come on , but no post whatsoever.
using the onboard ati card for testing.
no beep codes or anything.
any ideas?
memory = kingston ddr3 1600
cpu= amd phenom2 x3 2.8ghz

uh yeah , thermaltake silent purepower 480w
(sorry for the sarcasm)
plenty to run the system with the onboard video
all the lights light up on the motherboard , just nothing happens.
crrently sitting onkitchen table with psu , monitor , cpu attached , memory attached , keyboard attached , nothing else.
tried one stick of memory , in all four memory slots.
double checked to make sure cpu seated properly , i get no post beeps at allscreen doesn't even flicker on the monitor when the board is powered on.
cpu fan spins , and that's about all i get.

Tales of Extreme Frustration: 890GXM-G65 won't POST

Purchased components to build new computer and the PC won't post for some unknown reason. The fans come one and the 4 APS LEDS all light up but nothing further.
Tested the HD with my current machine and verified it functional via bios. Tested PSU on my current machine as well and found it to be working.Took the memory back in exchange for 1.5v per the documentation. Nothing. Went to exchange the mobo and they get it to fire up right before my eyes. Assuming the CPU is the issue I make the exchange. Again, nada. I go and return yet again and get a 3rd processor and am still getting nothing. Tried plugging the pwr leaving just the CPU, not even memory expecting error tones from the piezo but of course nothing. It posted at Fry's so I'm kind of out of things to try.
Saw posts online citing vcore issues but nothing really fitted what I'm experiencing especially when the solution is to flash the bios when I can't even post.
Need help. Nightmare build. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!
Setup:
MOBO = MSI 890GXM-G65
CPU = AMD Phenom II x6 (1st & 2nd were 1090T, and the 3rd is 1075T)
MEM = 2x2GB DDR3 1333 Corsair XMS3
PSU = Cooler Master 650W

Can you ask the obviously very kind servicemen at your store to update BIOS for you.
Hey thanks man that would be an idea I haven't thought of yet... moreover, I'd like to find out how I can do that myself.
Question: How does one update the bios on a board that won't post?
Plan: obtain a stick of super low end ram, get the thing to fire up (assuming its a voltage/vcore issue that's preventing the post), update then reassemble proper
Does someone know of another way to accomplish?

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.

MSI 790GX-G65 delay before post

Sorry for hijacking that other thread
So I press the power button on my computer, then the case/mobo lights and fans (inc. cpu fan) turn on, but I have to wait about 20-30 seconds and then it posts.
I built this system in June '09 but this problem didn't start til maybe October. This problem started happening BEFORE I updated/flashed, however I tried updating to solve the problem to no avail.
I don't remember doing anything different when that problem started.
My system:
MSI 790GX-G65 motherboard
AMD Phenom II x3 720 BE 2.8 ghz (not OC)
G Skill 2x2GB ddr3 1600 ram (@ 1333 because of no OC)
WD Caviar blue 320 GB 7200rpm hard drive
HP 22x DVD burner 1170i w/ light scribe
case: ABS Aplus el diablo
monitor: HP 2009m 20" (DVI)
Power Supply: Raidmax Hybrid 2 530 watt Modular (although I doubt that's the problem because power seems to be working - cpu fans turn on and mobo lights come on long before post)
the power for the HD uses a 4-pin to SATA converter (for easier wiring) but I've tried it with regular SATA power cables
I've tried running one ram stick
swapped CD/dvd and Hard drive places on mobo (swapped HD from sata_0 to sata_1 etc)
my case has a lot of wires for fans and lights, so just to make sure i disconnected those and left whatever was necessary connected
I've tried changing the boot order HDD first, and also tried CD first just in case, didn't help
none of these things helped :(
if I left anything out that may help please say so
EDIT: using onboard VGA (set as default display device in BIOS), OS is Windows 7 64bit RC in case those might help
I currently have my case fans connected directly to molex power connectors from PSU, and hard drive and optical are both connected to regular SATA power connectors, regular SATA cables

Quote from: Svet on 11-February-10, 15:38:52
disconnect all storages and see how its goes,
also do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed.
if problem persist, write down and paste here what's written on the screen when the delay is happening.
Quote from: CSN9 on 24-February-10, 05:24:10
Yes! Disconnecting the hard drive stops the delay from happening. I had already cleared the CMOS the way the guide says, but I just did it again while the hard drive was disconnected. However, with the hard drive connected there is still the delay.
Now that we know it has to do with the hard drive, does this mean I need a new one? I mean, I've always had the same hard drive and this problem didn't happen from the beginning. So does it mean I should reformat it or something?
What hard drive is that? and where is connected?

Re: MSI 790gx-g65 no post, no beep (split)

I am in an almost identical situation and it is ruining my christmas. My 790GX-G65 had been running with no problems for several months.
I was running a routine backup and the PC powered itself off - no it was not set to self power off, it had at least 10 minutes left to run.
I have gone through all the usual stuff and now the mainboard is on my test bench with just the cpu/hsf and a stick of RAM.
When I press the power button the fans spin up and leds come on - Does anybody know what the LED indicators indicate? I can find no reference in my manual or searching google. NB1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 light up, LED1 doesn't.
It doesn't post or even send a signal to the monitor - i.e. the monitor detects a cable is connected but is receiving no signal. I have tried using 2 separate pci-e cards as well as the integrated. It does appear to be on though. And it doesn't turn itself off. I left it running for just over 20 minutes and it was in the same state - fans running.
Also now holding the power button won't turn the mainboard off - plugging in an external power button doesn't work either. I have to turn off the PSU to power down the board.
Specs:
AMD Phenom II X4 955BE
MSI 790GX-G65
OCZ 2x2GB DDR3
Corsair HX520 Modular
Xigmatek HSF
MSI/ATI HD4870 1GB
none of it is overclocked and has never been.
I updated the mainboard bios several weeks ago via liveupdate in windows to iirc v1.5.
The only parts I don't have to test are a replacement CPU or PSU. I should be able to get my hands on another PSU tomorrow but anybody who can tell me what the LED indicators stand for would be a real help.
Thanks
Andy

Hey Andy2009,
I seem to be having the same issue with my son's system. We put it together just over a year ago then all of sudden, BAM!!! Just wouldn't boot.
Symptom:
Press the power button, the fans spin up, with the exception of LED1, the remaining LED's light. No video signal is detected by the monitor. Although it appears to be powered up, the system doesn't POST, not a single beep. It just remains on.
Also now holding the power button down for any lenght of time, does not shutoff the power supply. To turn it off you must disconnect the AC power line to the supply.
System Specs:
MSI 785G-E53
AMD Phenom II X4 965BE
ADATA 2x2GB DDR3L-1333G
Has never been overclocked.
According to the user manual, the LED's are indicators for the "NB Phase" and "Active Phase Switching" mode for the CPU. I'm not sure what that means but the chart showing the LED status, shows that LED1, regardless of what power mode the CPU is in, should be lit. As the modes change the next LED# lights. My guess is that something happened to the phase 1 power mode circuitry on the mainboard.
I began troubleshooting by replacing the PC power supply. Disconnected all the peripherals, removed the mainboard from the case, reseated the processor and memory, tried to reset CMOS, etc... By the end of the week, I purchased another mainboard/processor bundle and quickly determined that the mainboard was root cause . The AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE CPU seems to be fine. I'll be sending this board back as an RMA.
I tried searching the internet for POST type issues for MSI 785G-E53 with very little results . After replacing the mainboard, I noticed the 785G-E53 lettering on the mainboard was actually a label, covering the silkscreen lettering 790GX-G65. Did another quick search on-line and found this forum posting.
I know this doesn't answer your question, but hopefully it will help others.
So what does all this mean, that is the "NB Phase" and "Active Phase Switching" LED's?
Thanks in advance,
Normand

Please help 790GX G65 wont POST

Hi MSI community,
I have a brand new 790GX-G65 as part of my all new build and it wont POST.
here's the system
790GX-G65 - winki edition (winki not connected)
Phennom X4 965 Black (AM3 package, 3.4GHz)
Corsair 400W PSU
2*2GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 - p/n cmd4gx3m2b1600c8 , which according to the reseller's website is guaranteed to support all DDR3 platforms from AMD
using the onboard ATI RADEON 3300 via the vga socket
I have the board outside the chassis on a peice of cardboard
the 24 pin connector, 4pin connector, heatsink fan, CPU, ram, keyboard(tried PS2 and USB ones) and monitor are the only things connected.
I have tried using each ram stick individually in slot1, both together in slots 1 and 2 and no ram at all.
In each case when i start the system the fans come on, the reset and power buttons light up, the five blue LEDs in the top right corner come on NB1,LED2,LED3,LED4 first then LED1 a second or so later, but nothing else happens.
no beep codes(have tried with and without the system speaker connected), no signal to the monitor (tried several monitors)
I've tried clearing the CMOS several times.
it seems to me like its a dead chip or board but i cant truly rule out ram.
anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
I will ask around to see if i can find another AM3 chip or board to test against but most of my friends went the intel route
many thanks

Hi Guys,
Thankyou all for replying, sadly though it still doesn't work :(
nt650
I could understand the psu struggling if i had load of othe things running off it, but it's just the board and chip.
I'm happy that its not the board shorting out on the cardboard.
I've tried it with a couple of old ATI rage IIs I had lying around and theres no joy from either of those. both known to work in other pcs
I'm using the standard AMD HSF so the clip on that shouldn't have caused a problem. I didn't need a hammer to fit it!
HDD is not connected
CMOS battery seems fine
paperclip test was fine, fan spun up immediately
Fredrik
I cant be sure what bios version i have, its a brand new board and i havn't flashed it so whatever it shipped with, v1.4 I guess. Are there any known issues?
Bas
I checked the pins again, all there and straight.
Hans
I'll try and lay my hands on a beefier PSU tomorrow, but with just chip and board it should run ok. I know it's near the bottom end of the recommended range but the PSU companies will always want to sell you more than you need.
One other thing I tried just for kicks was to start the board without the chip in at all,
the hsf still came on, the speaker still did nothing but only LED1 LED2 LED3 and LED4 came on, not NB1. I have no idea what (if anything) that means, but hopefullly someone on here does.
Anymore ideas out there? They would be gratefully received

Diagnosing No POST, No Beep MSI 790GX-G65 with AMD Phenom X4 955 BE

Last night I came home to a ceased PC with a frozen screen. PC has been working fine for over 2 years, but CPU has been running a bit hot of late (60C) with occasional BSODs with some ATI driver reference. Updated video drivers a few times. Suspected overheating CPU or ATI. Never overclocked it.
Specifications:
CPU: 3.2Ghz Quad-core AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition
M/B: MSI 790GX-G65
BIOS: Don't know. I upgraded it at one point.
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?

Flickering with Onboard Graphics on 790GX-G65

Hi Everyone,
I recently put together my own AMD based machine and am very happy with it. It's the first desktop I've had since I switched to a laptop for uni in 2004 :D.
The problem that I'm experiencing is that whenever the UAC window pops up, there is some flickering (Almost like static in an old video tape). Worse, it sometimes (Very rarely) happens even when the UAC window is not there :(. Has anyone else experienced this same problem? I did a quick search in this board before posting this and I haven't found anything similar. I have already tried the monitor with another machine (My laptop) and it does not show the same issue. It seems to me to be a problem with the on-board graphics card. I'm trying to get a DVI cable to try connecting the monitor that way. Any help would be much appreciated.
Here is some more information on the computer:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2 GHz
Motherboard: MSI 790GX-G65, MS-7576, AMI Bios 1.3
RAM: Kingston ValueRAM DDR3 1333 MHz 2 GB x 2 sticks (KVR1333D3N9/2G)
Video Card: None (Using onboard graphics)
Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA (HD103SJ)
Wireless LAN Card: D-Link DWA-510 Wireless G PCI WLAN card
Sound Card: None (Using onboard sound)
HP DVD1260 DVD-Writer
Monitor: Samsung 2233SWPlus (21.5" Widescreen), connected via normal VGA connector (This one)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
PSU: Corsair TX-750 750W 80+ PSU
I hope to be getting an XFX 5870 soon, so hopefully this will disappear and won't plague me then ;D.

@websherpa: different board, start your own topic. Do not hijack this one.
Actually, I will post elsewhere if necessary, but I respectfully submit that I did NOT intend a hijack. I did not ask readers to find a solution to my particular problem. I indicated that I have a very similar problem and am seeking a solution through experimentation. My solution may help this users issue. I think it's likely a problem that's not entirely board specific (since I have found numerous posts about this very same issue with onboard Radeon chips and Windows 7 and x64) and therefore an understanding of a solution for any one set-up or combination may result in a solution for all. I provided system information solely to indicate whether there is some common causality. I think it's only really appropriate for the original author to determine whether a post is off topic or not unless a post is obviously way off base (your mileage obviously differs).
My appologies to lohita if you think I was trying to hijack your post. I was simply trying to contribute to see if there is a common cause.

790GX-G65 AMD AHCI - Windows 7 file copy freeze

Something very weird is going on with my Windows 7 64-bit Operating System which has just started, and I wanted to see if any of you are experiencing the same issue. The computer has started to freeze when I copy very large files 1GB+ to a USB flash drive, or from one SATA hard drive to another SATA hard drive. About two weeks ago, it would copy fine. Nothing has been installed in between then and now, unless it is Windows Updates.
After having my computer freeze 6+ times, I decided to uninstall the AMD SATA/AHCI driver. I rebooted windows, and now using the generic Microsoft Windows AHCI drivers it copies fine. I reinstalled the AMD Drivers just to see if the drivers had become corrupt, but now it completely freezes using the drivers. The 790GX-G65 motherboard has worked flawlessly for the past four to five months without a problem (using the AMD AHCI drivers). I am concerned it is a Windows Update, but of course it could be a slight possibility that it is the motherboard itself (even though it is only 5 months old). It froze one day for no reason, wouldn't boot up, and eventually started working again.
I did some research, and it seems like others are having this same exact problem, only they were using Nvidia Chipset motherboards. Microsoft even release a hotfix to fix the I/O copy error freeze for Nvidia motherboards.
It is very frustrating that this had started happening within the week, and I don't know the root cause for the drivers to "suddenly" stop working. Have any of you had this problem? Heard of this problem? Or know if it is a common issue?

Hi Mark,
Thank you for the suggestions.
I swapped the 460W CoolerMaster PSU for a Corsair GS600 unit with the following specifications: +3.3V~25A, +5V~25A, +12V~48A (576W), -12V~0.8A, +5Vsb~3A. I'm using both 24pin JPWR and 4 pin JPWR2 connectors to provide power to the 890GXM-G65/(MS-7642 ver1), as instructed in the documentation, and as previously configured with the CoolerMaster 460W PSU. I have tried 3 independent power cables, and different power outlets in addition to swapping PSUs.
The system freezes in the same manner, on the same 'Setup is starting...' portion of the Windows 7 installer. This time, a single, short 'Beep' from the motherboard. (Same type of beep you'd hear after a successful POST and boot.) Subsequent retries did not produce any beeps from the motherboard.
I have tried booting various Live CDs in 32bit/64bit flavors and no success. (Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10, 10.04) I continue to disable various on-board components and am running with a single PS/2 keyboard plugged into the system for installation, but still no success.
To test the system further, as recommended, I swapped the 1TB Western Digital with a known good 250GB Western Digital unit from another machine. The drive is detected in the BIOS with no problems, but the installer continues to freeze. The 250GB drive was taken from an XP based system that is able to read/boot from the drive without issues.
Good suggestions, but I continue to freeze at the same point in the Windows & Ubuntu installers. If the CPU was somehow damaged, my thought is that the machine itself would fail to POST. Is that a fair assumption? Could there be something wrong with the video configuration in the BIOS that is causing the OS to lock when detecting hardware? I have set the primary adapter to 'Internal', UMA+Sideport, and AUTO for memory settings.
If you or others had any additional suggestions, I'd appreciate the input. Thanks in advance.

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

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?

and BTW, is 475Mhz+533Mhz normal? I think they should be 533Mhz+533Mhz.
You don't add anything. I don't know where you're getting that 475 MHz from, but 533 MHz for memory frequency is fine. It's DDR [Dual Data Rate] - which means two data transactions per clock cycle. In basic terms: 533 * 2 = 1066. The amount of memory modules has nothing to do with your DRAM speed.
NB voltage won't help you here. Set the appropriate DIMM voltage and timings, then try again.

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:

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:

->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?

What's the 790GX-G65 like?

I'm thinking of maybe getting the MSI 790GX-G65... any interesting comments? any good or bad experiences? anything I should watch out for?
I'll probably run either a single Radeon or Geforce. Doubt I will go for Crossfire...
I have been an Nvidia and VIA fan but VIA seems to have disappeared and there are no AM3 Nvidia boards in my country either.
(There are also only three or so AM2+ Nvidia boards here that support SLi and aren't some ancient design based on nForce 430 and GF6100)
However the market is filled with AMD/ATi chipset boards of just about every kind..

I won't be using the onboard video so it doesn't matter how slow it is
If I really was going to crossfire I'd put two cards in anyway...

790gx-g65 No Boot

Just built new gaming rig using the 790gx-g65 board. First time i tried to boot i missed seeing the initial post. I did see a screen that said press F11 to enter setup. After i pressed F11 machine froze up and i had to shut down using the power supply switch. Now i cant get anything to come up at all. its like there is no video signal whatsoever. Also now the main power button only works to start up the machine i have to use the power supply switch to turn it off. Any ideas on what might cause the non booting issue.
790gx-g65 board
Amd Phenom II quad with Zalman CNPS 10x flex heatsink
4x2gig corsair dominator
Video Asus ENg Tx 470
corsair tx 850 Power
Asus DX 7.1 sound card
Thermaltake element G case
P.S. I have tried booting with no video card and no sound card, 1 Dimm 4 dimm I get the same results, nothing but fans and some spinning of the dvd drive.

Thats quoted from your link.
Its time to lay your hands on a single DDR3 stick, one of those green ones with the black ICs on them and without XMP. That will be the only way to establish if this RAM is the culprit.
Your mem was intended for Intel based systems and without being able to get into your BIOS you are not able to try and manually set an acceptable RAM speed and timing for your board. Sorry, but change those modules for some memory intended for your AMD board.
