870A-G54 V3.1 instant FF on POST, all board LEDs and fans on.

Trying to get a 870A-G54 V3.1 working. I get instant FF on a PCI POST card, all the blue LEDs and fans are on, so is the red LED on the overclock button. I have 16 gig of new Patriot DDR3 plugged in and an AMD Phenom 2 X2 555 CPU I know is good because I pulled it off an AM2+ box it's been running in for a while.
The board is a used freebie, condition unknown due to the giver not having an AM3 CPU to test it.
I have no other AM3 CPU or any other DDR3 RAM to try. Is there any way to make it load the latest BIOS off a USB stick? Or am I going to have to dig up some old single core Sempron just to flash the latest BIOS? I've run into this problem many times over the years, pretty much since the first PC boards with flash BIOS.
Or could it be that a 330W supply just isn't enough, even with a piddly little low profile nVidia GT520?
Would be nice to know if the board's just defekt or if it's something fixable. In some searching on this, I've found this same instant FF issue with this exact model MSI board quite a lot.
Right now this board is shoved to the back burner, I ordered a surplus/new OEM board from a different manufacturer, and will also get a nice 80% efficient 500W supply. I've a system to get built and fiddling with a problem board isn't getting it done.

1: what is the boards serial number (leave off the last 3 digits)? (should be on the rear of the board so I can give you an idea of what BIOS version it has)
Only number is by the CPU socket, B316023***
Quote
2: what 330W PSU? (if its a split +12v Rail unit then that could very well be the problem as it will be anaemic to say the least and barely passable)
Ultra ULT-350P label says (+5V 25A +3.3V 18A 150W), (+12V 18A 216W), (-5V 0.6A 7.2W), (-12V 0.6A 7.2W), (+5VSB 2A 10W)
Quote
3: also was the 8pin EPS CPU power Header plugged in?
4 pin plus the other 4 pins connected to two separate drive power wire bundles with a dual molex adapter.
Quote
4: what sticks are those DDR3 units eg: 4x4GB??? and what speed are they rated at?
Patriot PS000562 4GB PC3-10600 1333Mhz. Hmmm, the label lies! Fine print says (2X2GB)Kit. 8 gig will be enough. Got them in an online auction lot from a computer tech school that closed. They're from 2 different batches, T-0009264 and T-0009267. Solder mask is a slightly different shade of green and the PCB material is different color too. Trace layout and chips are the same.
I have an Antec "earthpower" 500W supply ordered. It has an 8 pin connector.

870A-G54 rev 3 Buldozer support

Hi , i'm confussed , i bought 3 month's ago this board , when i choosed this board i entered on msi webpage and i readed "870A-G54" there is nothing about revision , few min ago i entered this page second time and what i have read "870A-G54 (FX)" WT* is going with msi ,they saying that your board will support octa core < then i bought one and after months change model of mobo ?. While buldozer comeout msi will say "teoriticaly" your board support buldozer but the revision NO!. Can i request to change my mobo model to new revision without buying new board , i have 2years varranty and bought document ... (send my board to msi and wait for FX rev of my board) -.-....?

I am not sure what exactly it is you are talking about. I just entered "870A-G54" into the search box of the global MSI website and there is only one model:
http://msi.com/service/search/?kw=870A-G54&type=product

Again, not sure what you are talking about. The fact that no revision was mentioned, does not mean that they promised Bulldozer support. What does the one thing have to do with the other. When you checked the CPU Support list a few month ago, I am sure that no Bulldozer CPU was listed in it.
Whatever the case may be, please note that when you check the specifications of the board, you will see a big red note on the top telling you the following:
Quote
The Specification may change without notice. The actual products sold are different from areas. Please check the detailed Specification with your local dealers.

No. As far as I know there is no new revision. I cannot find anything on the MSI Product pages.

i have 2years varranty and bought document ...
You have a contract with your reseller, not with MSI. As you live in Europe, the reseller is the one you need to contact regarding warranty & RMA claims. But your board is not defective, so what is the point?
In any case, I checked the BIOS changelogs for your mainboard. It contains fixes like this:
Quote
- Modify some Mojibake in setup menu for AM3+ BOM.
- Add New MP BOM 200 for AM3+ CPU.
- Update Agesa module to support AM3+ CPU.
- Fix system hang on 50h issue when used AM3+ CPU and installed only one memory at DIMM1 or DIMM2.
So, basically, at this point, there is no reason to get angry.
Contact MSI Technical Support directly to find out about the current Bulldozer support status: http://support.msi.com/

Another 870A-G54 not posting

Well, here I am, yet another person with his newly acquired 870A-G54 MB not posting. This is actually my second MB of this series. The first one I RMA'd after it shorted in my case due to a rogue standoff hidden beneath the board; a stupid mistake on my part, but one which I thought I had corrected with this board. I removed all of my standoffs and then put one back for each hole in the MB.
Now the current problem. I put everything together and turned on the board for the first time. The fans spun up, the HDD light came on, and the 4 CPU power phase LEDs turned on. However, neither my mouse nor my keyboard received power, and my monitor remained in standby mode.
All of the parts listed in my signature are newly purchased. They are the hardware that I am using with this MB. According to the MSI compatibility test results, the ADATA sticks, the 8500GT, and the Phenom II are all compatible. This specific Antec Earthwatts was not tested, but a higher wattage one was, and that was compatible as well.
I know my first step is to perform a bench test with only 1 stick of RAM, the VGA, and my keyboard. That test failed, so now I have some questions that you guys can hopefully answer for me.
First: What do the power phase LEDs actually mean? I am trying to figure out if it is good or bad that all four come on and stay on, but the manual doesn't give any description beyond the fact that each LED represents a power phase mode, 1-4. I haven't found anything online that explains this to me. What are power phase modes? What does it mean if all four lights are on?
Second: Could any of my other hardware have been damaged by the first MB shorting out? I know that the VGA and PSU work fine because when I RMA'd the first time, I put my old rig together, but used these new parts in place of my old VGA and PSU. I am wondering specifically if the RAM or CPU could have been scrambled. Just to note, there was no physical sign/damage when the first MB shorted; no smoke, spark, or smell, and there are no signs of physical damage (bent pins, scratches, or cracks) on either the CPU or RAM.
Third: Could this be related to my power supply? Despite the hardware itself being new, the model is old, but it has all of the proper power connectors for this board. Here is a list of the voltage rails and the amps
+3.3 V, 25A
+5 V, 25A
+12V1, 22A
+12V2, 22A
+12V3, 25A
-12V, .5A
Does this power supply not provide enough power to the CPU?
Fourth: Compatibility tests aside, is it possible that the MB doesn't like the Nvidia card? Like I said above, I know that the VGA card works, but MSI seems to favor ATI cards. I have a really old ATI Radeon card that I test with the board, if you think that would reveal anything.
Finally: What besides standoffs making contact with the board could cause a MB to short inside a case?


No Post - Shorting issues
   Motherboard Grounding to case causing No Post
Test the motherboard outside of the case to verify that the motherboard is not shorting to the case and causing a problem
   •    With only the CPU and heat sink, memory, and video card (or onboard video) connected to the motherboard, place the motherboard on a non-conductive surface and retest the motherboard
   •    Check the case mounting standoffs to verify that they are lining up correctly with the mounting holes on the motherboard.
Also try with barabone setup [when testing with mainboard out of PC case], and 1 memory stick only in 1st dimm close to cpu socket.

Yet another 870A-G54 not posting

Recently purchased an MSI 870A-G54.
Installed an X6 1055T 95W AMD Phenom II X6 processor and 2 PSD38G1333KH Patriot DDR3-1333 4GB memory sticks. All using a WIN+ Power 700 W power supply purchased at the same time.
I have tested the machine on a piece of cardboard with just the above components connected together (and an nVidia 8600 GT 256Mb PCI-e video card)
The system will not post or beep. The power LED's are all lit as well as the FSB control knob and the CPU fan does turn on. However, there is no video. As in, the monitor never wakes from suspend.
I tested it with both a DVD-Rom and an HDD and the only thing different is that the DVD-Rom will seek, wait a second, then seek again. The same with the HDD.
I have tried testing the system with 3 different video cards, all with the same result. There is no smell of burnt components, and nothing looks burned or broken.
I removed the CMOS battery for 10 minutes and placed it back into the machine with no change as well.
I have tried moving the memory sticks to different positions, or even just 1 memory stick. I also tried with a different brand of memory with no change. When the memory is removed, there are 3 long beeps, if it helps.
Do I have a bad board or is something else wrong? If the board is bad, did it also destroy the new CPU and/or memory and/or video card(s).
Specs once again:
MSI 870A-G54 motherboard
unknown BIOS version as it will not post.
X6 1055T 95W AMD Phenom II X6 processor
PSD38G1333KH Patriot DDR3-1333 4GB memory stick x2
nVidia GeForce 8600GT
WIN+ POWER 700W HEC-700TE-2WX amp ratings for the +3.3V, +5V and +12V are 24A, 20A, 30A
No HDD or anything else connected at the moment.

The little green sticker says:
A7599
AMSH70
Exactly like that.
Also, I plugged in the two plugs that are on the board and in the instruction manual. First, JPWR1, the massive plug with many little plugs on it all in a row. Second, JPWR2, with its little double row making 8 plugs total. I don't see any other plugs on it and the instruction booklet didn't say to plug in anything else, power-wise.
And, as I stated in the first post, I tested the machine with 3 different video cards all with the same results.
As for an alternate power supply, I tried my old TAO Enterprise 470W that was in my old computer. No change.
Also, from reading other posts on this forum, I feel I need to state a few obvious things that I have done to skip those steps and to give you more info.
First, I did clear the CMOS by removing the jumper and battery for a length of time.
Second, I checked the bottom and top of the board looking for damaged components. None were found. It looks the same as it does on the MSI website.
Third, I checked the memory in all possible positions with both one and two sticks of the new memory and with the off-brand memory.
Fourth, from reading the forum posts here, the moderators are big on the copy/paste post saying to remove it from the case and place it on a non-conductive surface and bare-bones check it. That is where is has been since the beginning. It has never been inside of a case. So a post saying to take it out of the case and put it on a piece of cardboard is not needed.
Fifth, aside from the video card, everything else that is plugged into this system now, the CPU, memory and power supply, is brand new. So if it could possibly be the culprit of one of these other items (none of which I can check) then they need to be replaced instead of the motherboard.
Sixth, while I am not a professional, this is not my first build. I have never had this kind of problem before.
Seventh, it will not be as easy for me to send these parts back in, as I currently live in Japan and bought these components off of Amazon Japan. So if there is anything you can think of for me to try that may work, please let me know.

870A-G54 Won't post

System has
Patriot Sector 5 2X4 GB 10666 New
GEForce 210 Video card new
Cooler Master 460W New
WD 640 GB HD and now that I list it The HD did go down on a prev. sys build and I recovered info from it, but I don't know if that could be the prob.
Currently I am doing a hard reset. From previous (years ago I found a hard reset over night brought up the system on An MSI board).
Sempron 145
No beeps but all fans and lights work. The board is 870A-G54 Version 3.1

There is no such thing as a hard reset, and switching the reset-switch for a few minutes is enough to reset everything.
However that memory of yours is Intel designed memory, try some el cheapo stick and see what happens.

870a-g54 no post, got new rma board back, also won't post

Long story short. First board would not boot or post, brand new from newegg. Rma'd directly to msi asking for a working board with latest bios update, but I got a brand new packaged motherboard and now the exact same problems. The reason I went with them is to make sure it was a working updated board, otherwise I could have just gone through newegg and got a refund, now its too late for that :(
I have tried reading the forum and the faqs and have used the guides on starting barebones and all that, still no go. I even cross swapped parts to make sure everything was technically working, except I am left wondering about the cpu. I do not have a cheap, earlier cpu to put in this board.
1. Does the motherboard need a cpu to boot and post? All 4 led's light up with my x4 965 cpu
2. As suggested I just looked at the cpu compatability list, and I am not sure if my cpu is even supported now with the latest bios even though these products were bundled at more than one retailer and the box has the x4 logo on it.
I do see a cpu called z965 with a cpu code:HDZ965FBK4DGM
My cpu code is: HDZ965FBGMBOX if that matters?
So either my cpu is not on the list, or those cpus are the same and I need the latest bios and msi did me wrong by taking another box off the shelf without checking? And if I have to take a chance on them doing me right again they want me to pay to ship it again and hope for a better outcome?
Thanks so much for any help!

Hmm, all the computers I have had will show the boot screen and beep atleast once before it gets to the memory message before os boot. Then either hang, or report message and/or beep like crazy.
Reguardless I have tried the 1 stick in each slot and tried a couple different ddr3 memory sticks.
One of them is here: http://www.mwave.com/mwave/deepsearch_v3.asp?scriteria=BA42027
This build was kind of built on a budget based on deals and parts others on various forums had reported working together so something is definately up.
Also let computer sit 15+ minutes each time without bios battery. This is just with a memory module, cpu, video card, and power supply hooked up on a piece of cardboard.
Well I thank you all for the help, but to me it seems wierd I took the parts home and have swapped a complete extra set of parts and same results. I have the new computers pieces in mine right now as well and all is well.
I am going to frys tomorrow and purchasing another brand motherboard and will swap it in and see what happens.

MSI 870a-G54 Hard drive problem.

About a week ago i reinstalled Windows because it started to slow down (virusses and what not) And as soon as i reinstalled everything (programs games etc etc) One of my harddrives used for games did not show up at the bios and at My computer.
So this entire week i've been trying to get it to work again and i've narrowed down the problem today to the BIOS and/or motherboard not giving the power to the HDD in order for it to start and be recognized in BIOS and Windows.
What ive done to come to this conclusion:
- Reinstalled Windows twice,
- Replaced CMOS Battery,
- Flashed the BIOS to every BIOS setting the MSI website had to offer. None worked for the HDD to get powered up again.
- Moved CMOS jumper,
- Changed SATA and powercables on harddrive,
- Tried the HDD on another test PC i had and reformatted it there as well,
- Only hooked up the not working HDD to the PC, (HDD did not spin up, and came to the conclusion at this point that motherboard or BIOS is the culprit)
- Unplugged the powercable to the not working HDD and plugged it back in when the PC was running and i could feel it spinning up, after this i restarted the PC so that the HDD would still get power and it was recognized by the BIOS and Windows and i could use it. As soon as i shut down the PC entirely and restarted it the HDD would not spin up. And i had to unplug power to the HDD and plug it in again and restart PC for it to work properly.
- Checked for bad sectors nothing found,
Everything else is working perfectly. Except that one HDD not getting the power when booting up the PC.
The HDD in question is the "Samsung HD502HJ 500gig" used for Steam games.
PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black edition. Put on a new CPU cooler last summer (Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus)
Mobo: MSI 870a-G54
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 (650 Watts)
Graphics card: Powercolor PCS+ HD5870 Put on a custom cooler last summer (Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5870)
RAM: Kingston ValueRam 1333Mhz DDR3 (8gigs 4x 2gig) Bought 4 gigs extra last summer
HDD1: Seagate ST3160812 AS 160gig used for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Works perfectly)
HDD2: Samsung HD204UI 2TB used for Storage / Other games than i have on Steam. (works perfectly) Bought last summer with the cooling/system upgrade
HDD3: Samsung HD502HJ 500gig used for Steam games. (Does not work anymore after reinstal) Bought 2 years ago along with the rest of the PC
I am completely at a loss here as to what the problem is. I do not have the funds to buy a new piece of hardware at this time (i think the entire week of struggle would back that up for me lol...). And ive basically tried everything what i know and what i've found through Google and friends. Might have been better going straight to MSI forum and post my problem here but narrowing it down to this not only helps me but the person that is going to post below in this thread as well lol.
Thanks in advance and i hope to hear from anyone soon.

Try drive in different PC, as it looks like it died.
HDD's always spinup as soon as power is applied, ergo I think the drive died.
Ive tried it already in 2 different PC's and i have to apologize here for not mentioning that earlier in the topic.
The drive spins up perfectly in both of those PC's and ive checked for bad sectors on both of those PC's as well and it showed that the drive was 100% healthy on both PC's
The drive was working perfectly fine before the reinstallation of windows. Thats why i dont think the drive has died. Because it would be weird that the drive just suddenly gave up right when im reinstalling windows..
It also doesnt add up when i plug the powercable back into the drive while the PC is running and it spins up then and works perfectly until PC is shut down. Thats why i had it narrowed down to the BIOS and/or Motherboard being the culprit.
My best guess is that its software related because the PC does boot up so its not a hardware problem.
P.S.
A friend of mine said that it could be a powersaving issue. But ive looked into the BIOS and i could not find anything about it.

870A-G54 - Bios recovery requested

Hello, I have bought the mainboard 870A-G54 "second hand" from msi-shop.de and wanted to use it with a AMD Athlon II X4 640 CPU.
On first start up of the new system it told me: "Bios recovery requested. Starting bios recovery" I downloaded 7599vh4.zip from the msi website as I thought it was the correct archive according to the cpu-list to a usb-stick, however the system was asking then explicitely for the file a7599ams.hg0. I downloaded that archive onto the usb stick.
When starting the pc and doing the bios recovery the system is finding the file it wants but directly after then restarting with no effect or it turns me to a blank black screen.
What shall I do now?

870A-G54 problems with bios, ram and CnQ

Hello i have some weird problems with my mobo. CnQ dont work i dont know why , in bios all options are turned not automaticly but forced to be "enable" ,and still my procesor multipler and voltages don't change , at the beginning after installing win7 64x it worked but now no :/.
2.next i have problems with memory i have corsair xms3 2x2gb [email protected] at old bios(AH0) my memory just did'nt want to work on 1.6k in dual channel and 1,2 slot i tried even to use default voltages tested by corsair (1.65V i had to use 1.66) result it dont work. after putting them into 3,4 slot it works even on 1.5V not 1.65V then i used to have them on 3,4 slot do u think that 1,2 slot is damaged ?.
3.Problems by bios. I updated my bios to the lastest version (from software downloaded from msi.com probably it had name "live update 5") , of course updated by usb stick .Then after update i see that my ram looks like reserved bios showing me that i have 2gigs of ram -.- (but only on 3,4 slot x.x) after change slots (1,2) it working and see my full ram (4gigs). Is that HD0 beta version of bios ? it looks like that .I don't see my logo screen it looks like that option was cut off from the bios , i don't see any "corporation" logo while booting the system.
I though that msi making solid motherboards as u can see i have many problems with this mobo.
Help me and thanks for all post (which wanna help me :D)

870A-G54 - Lost use of of ALL usb 2.0 ports after months no issues

First off I have been using this board for about 6 months with no issues. None what-so-ever. That was until my hard drive failed (it was old anyways.)
I replaced the failed drive and reinstalled Windows 7 x64. Except I was only able to plug my keyboard/mouse into the USB3.0 ports. None of the usb 2.0 ports on the board worked.
I disconnected the USB headers (for my case,) swapped the memory, flashed the bios, and reconnected the all the cables (power, sata, etc..)
On top of that, it takes about 3 full minutes for the system just to post. Usually it took maybe 3 seconds.
I'm stumped. Any thoughts??

Some times Windows gets confused during installation, if there are strange things attached. USB before Windows for example is n o t a good idea.
Use absolute minimum parts for the installation of Windows, no extra USB things, PCI-cards, hard disks, sticks of memory etc. As little as possible!
You can add all things after the installation is completed.
A new Windows installation, then.
This isn't a Windows issue. I can disconnect everything (even the hard drive) and boot with just a monitor and keyboard, and the keyboard will not work to even access the BIOS (DEL key) unless it is in one of the USB3.0 ports.

MSI 870A-G54 Blue Screen & Corruption Issues in Windows 7 64-bit

I am having periodic blue screen and corruption issues in Winodws 7 64-bit with my MSI 870A-G54 system. I have a Phenom II X2 560 BE processor, 2 4GB DDR 1333 DIMMs (first bank - unganged), 2 2GB DDR3 1333 DIMMs (2nd bank - unganged), 2 Hitachi 1TB 32MB Cache HDD's in a RAID 0 array, two Galaxy PCIe2.0 GT9500's, 550w power supply, internal DVD drive, and 1 1TB Seagate external 3.0 USB drive. After I load all the supplementary drivers from the MSI site (ensuring I use the 64bit versions), my system becomes unstable. I even tried the new motherboard chipset drivers from AMD (10.12). I am running the latest firmware as well (17.7). The system in not overclocked in any manner and I experience the same results with fail-safe and optimized settings.
I have tried isolating the issue after loading each driver, but due to the random nature of the issue, I am not having success. I have also performed memory and CPU tests that report no errors. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help...

870A-G54 vs. 870A-G54 FX

Hi,
I was wondering if an 870AG54 will support new bulldozers, and now I find that MSI is making such the same mainboard with the same bios, just with black cpu socket, calling it FX, that support new am3+ sockets, and asking 20-30EUR more for such thing..
Any chance to get AM3+ support for "usual" 870A-G54????

great news!!
checked stores again, FX version cost approx the same as non-FX version, so hopefully its not just some marketing move, and MSI will support older MoBos with AM3+ bios's - we are waiting for am3+ support to curent AM3 boards MSI!!
at last, bulldozer(FX) CPUs from first reviews is flop so no bother at all att..

870A-G54 V3.1 instant FF on POST, all board LEDs and fans on.
