870A-G54 Wont Detect IDE

Trying to boot up a brand new 870A and it wont detect my IDE CD drive. I've tried 2 different drives and still nothing. The sata HDD is fine.
Any suggestions?

Won't detect where?
The IDE ports are controlled by a separate controller on this board, check under 'Integrated Peripherals' in BIOS setup, that 'Extra RAID/IDE controller' is [Enabled].

  • 870A-G54 RAM R/W test failed

    Hello
    I build a new system for a friend. I tested it for 2 days non-stop, she had the new computer for a week when this error started to appear. Sometimes (not everytime), when you power up the computer the memory count stops at 4096, beeps twice with error RAM R/W test failed. Also it only detects half the RAM installed (4GB) If you press F1 to continue, it boots to windows OK, but sees just half memory. So far I tried reseating all memory modules and swapping first 2 with the last 2. Also tried to disable DCT Unganged Mode. All settings under Cell menu are default, there is no overclocking. Could it be a faulty RAM module? Motherboard problem? Anybody has any ideas?

    Only X3 and X4 do.
    He has an X4 so he's fine
    However it's XMS memory; we have seen many more troubles with that.

    Yes, i was talking about his CPU as well.
    I miss read Athlon II with Athlon X2
    So yes,
    Athlon II X2 = 1066
    Athlon II X3 = 1333

  • 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...

    What specifications are you referencing that indicate this processor only works with two sticks of RAM?

  • 870A-g54 front panel audio missing from bios

    Boy is this motherboard full of glitches. Teaches me a lesson about buying the cheapest for crossfire.
    I would really love to use my front panel audio. Only problem is my front panel audio isn't in the BIOS!
    When i bought my 870A-G54 I had to do a BIOS flash to support my six core CPU. Could the BIOS flash have changed my BIOS menu and taken away the front panel audio setting?
    Lol does the motherboard even have an option to turn front panel audio on and off?
    I had the bios flashed in the store the moment i baught it so i dont know how the bios looked before the flash. The Guy failed to flash my board because he had the wrong bios update and it was too big. So i had to download the right one from msi myself. People like that shouldn't work in computer stores.
    My front panel audio has one of those single plug and go audio cables so im shure i couldn't install it wrong, even had the manual next to me.
    Am i to be stuck without front panel audio??

    Quote from: Stu on 20-October-11, 03:51:31
    BIOS does not have any options for front panel audio, it is controlled by the Realtek Audio Manager control panel.
    What's the exact problem you're having?
    Well i plug in my headphones to front audio and the software should recognize it and light up the ports on screen. But they stay greyed out and i have no mic or audio.
    On my old asus motherboard i had to make shure front panel audio is turned on sorry for the confusion.
    any idea why it doesn't pick up my headphones?
    Ive tried diffrent headphones lol they dont work either

  • New Seagate Momentus 7200 Drive wont detect

    I have tried to install a new momentus 7200 Seagate drive 200Gb ST9200420AS and my Macbook Pro 2.33 Core 2 Duo wont detect the new drive. The old drive works fine. I see there are jumpers on the drive but that does not seem to make any difference which way I put them. Is there something I am missing?
    Booted up with OSX disk and ran disk utility but it only sees the superdrive and external disk I have plugged in for restore purposes.
    Any ideas why this might happen.

    Ok. I had the same problem. Macbook Pro didn't seem to want to recognize the drive during OS X install. Basically, you have to use the disk utilities to create a partition that the installer will recognize. Found this on a post from 2002 . . . .
    "If you want the hard drive to be recognized as a startup drive, you must verify that the drive is formatted properly. Boot to the installer DVD, and open Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Click on your drive (the device, and not your named partition), and choose the partition tab.
    Click on the Options button, and click on GUID Partition table. Your MacBook Pro can't boot from an Apple Partition map. You can see the short description of each in that options window.
    Oh, and then click OK, and click the Partition button. That will complete in a few seconds, and you can return to the installer, and you should then be able to continue with the install!"

    Any time there is only a single drive is on an IDE channel, it should be set to Master, and it should be connected at the end of the IDE cable if it is a two-drop cable, not the middle connector.
    Quote from: scrambler on 16-August-05, 02:48:34
    Sorry for asking, but if my cd-rw is the only optical drive on ide1 do I still need to set the jumpers?  Currently I have it on slave (forgot to change it when I had only 1 optical drive left about 8 months ago).  Sorry for the totally noob question.

  • 870A-G54 - Possible overheating caused by too much ram? Display driver crashes

    Greetings, I have a 870A-G54. I've had multiple issues with several video cards prompting me with a "display driver has stopped responding and has recovered" error. Each video card having it's own unique fix. I've come to the conclusion that it's another piece of hardware in my system that is the root of the problem; and not the video cards. I've noticed that the CPU during "the crash" hits about 60c; usually when playing video games. After a reboot, I can play games for a couple more hours before getting the error again. I'm running 16gb of ram on Windows 7 ultimate. Yesterday I decided to remove 8gb of ram to see if the CPU got "hot" again (only leaving the sticks in bay 3 and 4 in). I had a 4 hour session of gaming and it didn't crash. Note, I have the latest bios installed and a Power Supply that shouldn't have issues powering the whole thing; 850w gold rated PSU. I'm currently running a 6950 video card, and all of the settings are stock; no over clocking in any way. I have a hardware monitor installed that shows with my 16gb of ram that my cpu idles at 41-43c. During a intense gaming session going up to 60c. Yesterday after removing the other 8gb (two sticks of 4gb), it never went above 50c. My CPU is well ventilated. I've contemplated water cooling the CPU if that would resolve the issue. But I'd hate to fork over more money to an already expensive system if I don't have to. I've also wondered if it's just a bad ram stick, or bad ram bay on the motherboard. :\
    Any suggestions here would be appreciated! Thanks!

    So, I conducted several tests over the last couple of days. Now, I understand that mismatching ram could (and probably is) potentially causing the overheat problem. But... I kind of started looking at fundamentals. I have to sets for DDR3. One pair is Patriot sector 5 ram, the other is a set of Dominator ram. Now, I've noticed that I've seem to always have this driver crash issue. But I had always thought it was the video card. Only until recently I started seeing/noticing that the cpu was getting very hot when the driver would crash. On Wednesday I removed the ram in slots 1 and 2 (the Dominator ram), and only ran with the ram in 3 and 4 (Patriot). It ran fine all night. I then ran some heat tests, with the same ram in bays 1 and 2. When the Patriot ram was in those two slots, it ran cooler. When the Dominator was in, it ran hotter. The Dominator's builtin heat-sinks pretty much rest right next the CPU's heatsink (and restrict air flow). It re-arranged the ram so the Dominators are in 3 and 4. And the Sector 5 are in 1 and 2. It worked all night yesterday, CPU didn't get any hotter that 48c while having multiple programs running. Looking at it now, the design of this MB is pretty bad, there should be a little more space between the CPU and the ram. In any case, I will follow up if it continues to crash due to heating issues. I know it's probably cheaper to get new ram, but I'm playing with the idea of just getting a better heat-sink for the CPU (WATER COOLED)!

  • 870A-G54 Problems

    Ok so i mounted the board, connected everything started running from the cd etc.. the cd drive and winki operating screen worked just fine for a while.
    I went out and purchased a new hard drive and windows 7 because i couldn't validate my old version of xp. so the time comes to install windows, i boot up the system, open the cd drive and then i have second thoughts about which disc i needed to use 32b or 64b, so i go look it up for a few minutes on a laptop in another room. Finally when i come back the disc drive has closed itself and wont open again, the screen said to insert disc and then restart to load from cd drive. i power off, turn it back on and my disc drive wont power on and i cant get any visuals.
    I dont think it can be my drive or my psu because when i disconnect my cd drive from the MB it turns on just fine, but when i connect them it just shuts down.
    Any help you can give would be MUCH appreciated!
    IF its any help i have a corsair psu and a phenom processor

  • 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?

  • MSI 870A-G54 (FX) CPU Core control unlock setting error

    Hello,
    My motherboard MSI 870A-G54 (FX) has strange issue: CPU Core unlock option is not working properly. I've switched in BIOS  Cell Menu the setting "CPU Core Control" - Enabled, and after the restart, there is error message about RAM chek - till 3325 MB instead 16 GB, and after that windows7 Ultimate x64 tries to load, but unfortunately displays the Blue Screen of Death. After disabling CPU Core Control option windows start normaly. Also after using MSI LiveUpdate5 and installing BIOS Code unlock Technology 1.0.106, I got the following message: Error Message
    PC Hardware details:
    CPU - TripleCore AMD Phenom II X3 Black Edition 720, 2800 MHz (14 x 200), Codename:Heka, Core Stepping: RB-C2

    I'll be glad to have some of your ideas how to handle it...

    I also have an X3 720BE. Mine will not unlock, some do not... it's not a built in feature on 'All' CPU's.
    That said.. I have owned mine since the beginning of AM3. It has been a great CPU with 3 cores. I have had OC settings at or above 3.4GHz stable.
    If you search you can find a lot of OC information. This was an early release AM3, and a lot of owners, forums, test websites etc.. have information available. I still use it in my HTPC.
    Owners who have been able to 'unlock' thier CPU's do get extra core(s).. but it's not as stable. I would rather have a stable, able to OC CPU than an unlocked one that can't obtain the OC stable numbers. It's a mind game.
    Good Luck

  • 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)

    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 - 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 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)

    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.

  • I recently updated the itunes software and now my iphone wont detect the sim card! what do i do?

    I recently got my iphone unlocked because i wanted to change my carrier. today when i connected my iphone to the itunes it started updating the software! all my previous data was erased and now it wont detect the sim card! what do i do?

    Updating iTunes has nothing to do with an iDevice going into recovery mode.
    If the device is in recovery mode, restore it via iTunes on a computer.
