Setup: I RMAd my last board due to flakey USB/WiFi. All other components worked well. I got a different board which looks used. The first blue PCI-E clip was half-broken off out of the box. 24 pin ATX, 6 pin PCI-E power and 8 pin CPU power all plugged in. All fans turn on including graphics card, 3 case fans and both CPU fans. HDD spins up. BluRay eject works. All 8 blue LEDs turn on.
Problem: No video posts to my big screen.
Troubleshooting: I have pulled it out setting the MB on bare cardboard, re-seated the CPU a couple times, switched the memory around both sticks to all 4 slots, tried a different video card,  unplugged all USB peripherals and SATA drives and reset the BIOS. Same cable/monitor works fine with my laptop, both HDMI and DVI.
Any steps I might be missing? Wife is fed up with having no media PC and I doubt she will be willing to wait another month to get the board RMAed a second time.

  • 890FXA-GD65 Won't post.

    Got the board in the mail today and assembled my "new" build, which is to say there are a few parts recycled from an older build, and the computer boots up through the MSI logo screen. Then for an instant flashes the POST screen. After that the screen just begins to flash a little dash at the upper left corner. I've tried to see where the board screws up at the beginning but it's just too quick to be seen.
    I've tried booting it with unplugging everything the video card unplugged, and I still had the same problem. So I turn to here for anything else that can/should be done.
    Thanks in advance!

    CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 970
    RAM: Currently looking to replace the current RAM, since I think it might be the problem. But it is currently Kingston 8gb DDR3, with 4 2gb sticks. 
    HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500gb, 7200RPM
    Video card is a nVidea 9800 1gb of ram.
    PSU is a brand new Antec Earth watts 530W.
    All other peripherals are unplugged, which include a DVD drive, and wireless card, and a PCI-E firewire card.
    No OS is installed, since I reformatted the drive to see if it fixed anything.
    Am I forgetting anything?

  • 890FXA GD65 no video signal after OC Genie install

    Hello,
    I wanted to see what OC Genie is about so I installed it, but then after the reboot I couldn't get video signal to my video card. The PC is powering up and all the fans and LED are working inside, but there is no video signal to the monitor.
    Did I just brick my motherboard, and is there anything I can do to fix it?
    My CPU is PhenomII 1090T, 970 GTX GPU

    Thanks Obellix.
    I removed the battery before writing this post, but it seems that I didn't wait enough. Now I did it second time, waited 10 minutes before plugging back the battery and it is working.
    GG, thx again.

  • Msi 890fxa-gd65 USB and video dying after extended use

    Multiple times this has happened to me. I will be playing a game for a while (2+ hours) and all the sudden my mouse, keyboard, and monitor will all black out and shut off. My computer is still running and the buttons on the front of the case to shut the computer off no longer work either.
    I know it's not a heat issue because i touched the heat sinks on the mobo and they are not hot at all.
    I have taken the board and exchanged it at frys; this is the 2nd board so i'm pretty sure its nothing wrong with the board.
    Help me please!

    Why then does MSi mainboard default to this speed?
    Steve64, do yourself a favour and search for RAM SPD profiles on the net. Memory module manufacturers write the SPD information to the EEPROM on the module. Motherboard BIOSes read the SPD information to configure the memory controller. If that SPD profile is not in line with the native RAM speed supported by the CPU, then the board's BIOS will be set to the incorrect memory speed as can be seen in this post. Its an industry design standard (JEDEC) and the memory manufacturer is the cause of the incorrect setting when the user buys an incompatible set of memory.
    The rest of your post has been removed as it adds no value to finding a solution.

  • Msi 890fxa-gd65 1 beep begins to post then shuts down...help?

    Hey I just purchased a 890FXa-gd65 board this week and have a phenom 2 x4 970z in it with corsair 2x4GB 1333 ram thats made for phenom 2, i looked it up on corsairs website to make sure. Im using 2x XFX 5850 graphics and an OCZ Agility 3 sata 6/gbps SSD along with two WD Caviar blacks. This is a new build, although i tried using a phenom 2 x4 965 originally but had same problem. so, i boot up get a single beep the comp begins to post and then shuts down. vie tried dif ram and now have tried a dif cpu. vie tried using only 1 graphics card at a time and switching between 1 and the other. always gets the same response. i do not have the sad or hard drives plugged in either. originally i was using corsair vengeance 1600mhz ram but thought that was the issue because of the speed being to high so i got some 1333 just to make sure and it still is doing the same thing. i really don't know what to do at this point. in the 15yrs vie been building comps for myself and others vie never hit a brick wall like this. any suggestions? just to make sure i tried running just the board ram cpu and video card onto of the motherboard box it came in, as msi tech suggested....still nada

    i have a corsair 850HX 850watt. Nevermind It turned out after getting a friend to plug some diagnostic hardware into it we found out it was a dud mobo. I RMAed it and after plugging everything into a new board things worked fine. sorry i wasted your time. i appreciate the help you give to people who need it, thanks again.

  • 890FXA-GD65 Video and USB Failure

    Hey guys,
    After about an hour or two of gaming, my PC loses its video and USB signal, and the power buttons do not work on the case, yet everything internally is still running (all my fans, video card fan, processor heatsink fan). The row of LED indicator lights at the top of the motherboard only displays two bars AFTER I lose signal.  At first I figured it was just my video card overheating, but nothing is excessively hot to the touch, and alt-tabbing while gaming to check my AMD Vision Control Center has my video card running at about 70-75*C while in use, and about 48*C idle. Also, if overheating was the culprit, that wouldn't explain my USB devices failing either would it? And twice my PC has completely shut down on me mid-game. I noticed someone else had this problem (the video/usb portion at least), but the culprit seemed to be his ram was 1600, mine is only 1333. And I have never tweaked anything in my BIOS nor have I overclocked my video card. Any suggestions?

    Temp. is fine for the graphics card. About the PSU "650 Watt" tells us very little, for many reasons. When it comex to Thermaltake, my own experience says they are usually over-speced and -priced, but have rather low efficiency. My system's power consumption went down from 110 to 74 Watt when I replaced my Thermaltake Toughpower.   ...But that was some time ago.
    I find two current 650 W PSU models here, if it is one of them:

  • 890FXA-GD65 with AMD Phenom II 1100T and Asus Radeon 6950 No Video Signal

    I just did a new computer build with an MSI 890FXA-GD65 motherboard AMD Phenom II 1100T processor and Asus Radeon 6950 graphic card.
    I have a SATA hard drive and optical drive. Memory is Corsair XMS3 4GB PC10666 DDR3 1333MHz 4096MB.
    When I turn the system on I have no video signal so I can't see bios. I tried taking everything apart and rebuilding and still nothing.
    The power is on to the motherboard and graphic card. The motherboard has 2 LED indicators on.
    I am a newbie with the new computer build and need some help. I accidentally pressed the clear CMOS while the power was on. I have no idea if this is going to mess up the motherboard.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
    Mike

    I could not locate this on this specific motherboard. The one issue is that there is a CLR CMOS button on the back and I pressed this when power was on .
    I know there is another way to clear the cmos with the jumpers but I didnt do that .
    Anyway motherboard still powers up. I took it to a tech to check it out. Don't know anything as of yet. Thanks.

  • Multiple Problems with MSI 890FXA-GD65

    I am having problems getting a clean build of new components to work.  The components are:
    motherboard is MSI 890FXA-GD65
    processor is AMD Phenom II X2 565 Callisto
    memory is 2x 4Gb G.Skill Ripjaws X model F2-12800CL9D (CAS 9, Unbuffered DDR3 1600)
    disk drive is a Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1 TB SATA III
    card is an MSI N460GTX Cyclone 768D5/OC.
    power supply is an Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W
    operating system is Windows 7
    All items are brand new, and being assembled for the first time, so nothing is overclocked.
    I have three problems.  First is that the video output is flaky.  I initially thought that the board wasn't POSTing, because I was getting no audible 'beeps' and there was no display output (does this board not have a speaker or speaker header?).  Through trial and error, I discovered that the board was POSTing, but I could not see anything because of a strange video problem:
    If the monitor is connected when the video output changes, then the video will not work, and disconnecting/reconnecting will not fix it. For example. If the video cable is plugged in during a cold start, I will get no video output. If I wait a few seconds until the Bios loads, and then plug in the video, then I get a video signal. However, if I leave it plugged in as the video output switches when Windows starts up, then I lose video again. Only by plugging in and then unplugging during the same video output mode can I use the output.
    I have tried 2 different video cards (same mdodel number) with the same result.  I have tried switching my memory with only 1 stick and with both sticks installed.  I don't have another processor to try.
    The second problem is that Windows will not run with the USB controller turned on in BIOS.  It starts 'loading files' and then just hangs.
    The third problem is that the MSI utility program will not run properly.  I tried to install the updated chipset drivers, but the installation hangs.
    Thanks for any help!!  I am on the verge of returning the board to NewEgg after many hours of trying to troubleshoot this build.

    Thanks for the reply.  I am using the DVI output on the video card connected to a VGA monitor with an DVI-VGA adapter.
    No external USB connections have ever been installed.
    I don't have any other DDR3 laying around.  Is there a recommended memory list on the MSI site?  I couldn't find one.

    You should use AMD tested memory sticks

  • 890FXA-GD65 and possible USB Controller related issue?

    Hi all - Been having a bad time of it with a new system build for a little under a month now.  Have tried to capture my "notes" below, any idea of a root cause?  Is anyone aware of known issues with the board; the board and Windows 7; the board and some other component(s)?
    My issue:  During Windows 7 x64 installation or startup, the system will freeze at the "Starting Windows" screen.
    My system specifications:
    MOTHERBOARD: MSI 890FXA-GD65  (BIOS ver 18)
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555 @ stock speed  (HDZ555WFGMBOX)
    MEMORY: DDR3 1600 2X4GB G.Skill Ripjaws-X [DIMM1 & DIMM2] (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)
    VIDEO CARD: XFX Radeon HD 5670 512MB (HD-567X-YNF3)
    HARD DRIVE(s): 2 x Western Digital 500GB 7200 drive (WD5000AAVS)
    POWER SUPPLY: Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W
    Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate edition, retail)
    This problem has existed since I first built the system and is consistently reproducable.
    I am able to avoid the issue by disabling the USB Controller in BIOS prior to initiating the Windows installer.  This will allow me to proceed through Windows installation, but as soon as the USB Controller is enabled once again, the issue recurs.  Having to disable USB support is undesirable.
    I'm now on my second 890FXA-GD65 motherboard, having RMA'ed the first board after a fairly brief exchange with MSI tech support(2 replies, with the eventual suggestion of RMA for a faulty USB controller).  So I went through the RMA process with the online retailer, receiving a new board today.
    The problem is that the RMA replacement behaves in exactly the same manner.  Normally this would suggest to me that the problem may lie with one or more of the other components, but I've not been able to identify issues with any of them.  One obvious suggestion would be to try swapping out components, but my resources are constrained on that front - video card happens to be the only component for which I have a alternate that I can test with, actually.
    As far as troubleshooting investigation, here's what I've done/observed:
    1. Windows installation/startup will succeed if the USB Controller is disabled in BIOS.
    2. The same behavior can be observed with a Windows Vista installation disk as well.
    3. When loading Windows in safe mode, the last driver file loaded was disk.sys
    4. Memtest86+ (v4.2), repeated full passes reveal no issues with the system memory.
    5. While seeming that it would be an unlikely factor, I have swapped out video cards(to an eVGA 8800 GTS 320MB), but observed the same issue still exists.
    6. Running in a single DIMM configuration affected no change.
    7. Have disconnected one or the other of the hard drives with no change.
    8. The BIOS version installed is equivalent to the latest(and only) version posted on the MSI support site.
    So...any ideas on what's left to try?  I've done enough reading online to notice that I'm not the only person to have observed this behavior, but have yet to encounter any explanation of it nor a resolution.
    Any suggestions?

    Trying to catch the points that weren't explicitly spoken to by me in the last attempt:
    @Stu - Regarding testing with zero USB devices connected - this was done as part of troubleshooting and it has no observable effect, so I think that I can rule out a bad USB device being the culprit and I apologize for not making that clear previously.
    @Frederik - I've done a little more legwork on the memory item.  Troubleshooting, for the most part, has been executed with this memory set to run as DDR1333 @ 1.5V as that is what the board auto-defaults to(the kit is rated as DDR1600 @ 1.5V)  It was at the defaulted setting that I ran memtest86+ and no errors were reported.
    I've also just now made an attempt to run this memory as DDR1066 at 1.65V and still there is no change in results.  In my research on this specific kit, I have not run into accounts like mine - in the accounts that I have read regarding a poor experience with the kit, memory has either been been obviously bad, for which failures are reported in diagnostics like memtest. ...or, I suppose that there's also the random guy complaining about his overclock not working or the memory speed defaulting to the wrong value in BIOS. 
    Frankly, I don't want to battle any particular component and I owe no allegiance to this make of memory.  I do want to try to be objective, given that I'm stuck with these modules until I make the decision to RMA.  As such, I had read what info is available out there - prior to purchase, I hadn't noted so many reports of issues with this kit across a considerable sample size of feedback so as to cause me initial concern, or else I would have gone with a different kit/different brand.  Probably will do that anyways, next time, but in the meantime, I'm afraid of this being a distraction.  If both myself and this other person(drgan) had both been using the same memory kit, and thus it was more likely to be the common thread, I'd certainly be more inclined to this line of reasoning.  But since he's using Kingston and in the few other accounts of a system freezing on USB controller enabled status I've noted varied memory kit brands, it doesn't seem to me to be an obvious culprit.  But if not, then what's left to consider?  The other interesting factor to me is that the issue appears to be Windows-centric....but... 

  • 890fxa-gd65 1 long 2 short beeps

    Hello all,
    I have a 890fxa-gd65 and a xfx radeon 6870 HD in a new computer that I am trying to get running. I get 1 long and 2 short beeps at power on. From what i read from the forums it is a video problem. I know for certain the card is good. Anyone know what might be going on. I want to update the bios but obviously cannot with out video. Or can I? Anyone know of a way i can update the bios without video, and without having to buy another video card? just fyi, I know that the power supply is also good.
    Any help is appreciated.
    One other question. I am new to MSI boards and was wondering what to do about the 6-pin video power plugin on the board itself. The card already has two 6-pin connectors so im not sure if the board plug needs to be used or not. I have tried booting with and without it so i dont think its the main issue, but i would still like to know what to do with it.
    Thanks,
    Derek

    have you connected all power cables to the vga?
    have you tried to reseat the vga into the PCIE slot?

  • 890fxa-gd65 with amd fx6100 am3+ socket

     
    Hi all, I'm having trouble rebuilding a pc.  I have the 890fxa-gd65 mainboard (which states that is supports am3+) and for the cpu i have amd fx6100 am3+.  I bought the card in December 2011, according to the msi website cpu support, the FX series is supported with a bios update (which was supposed to have been applied before they shipped the board).  Looking at the bios versions, it shows initial support of am3+ in April 2011, but the version of bios they list next to the FX series cpu came out in September 2011.  I'm wondering if my board really got the updated bios to support this cpu. 
    Here are the symptoms.  With everything plugged up, i get no video (monitor says there is no signal), and I get no lights on the mouse except for a quick blip of the lights, then looks like no power to mouse or it is turned off.  Also, i get no audible beeps to indicate anything is happening.  All fans are running, and all 8 mainboard leds are lit solid.
    I tried removing things one by one and still no beeps to indicate anything.  I have tried with just one memory stick (I'm using ddr3 1600).  same problem.  I tried it without any memory...expecting to hear that beep.  I tried it with nothing attached to the board, no video, no hard drive, no dvd...still nothing to indicate an error.
    I would upgrade the bios to the newest version, but of course can't since it won't even post.  I have no older cpu i could put in it to use temporarily just to upgrade the bios.
    Any ideas on how to solve this?
    Thanks.

    ...the FX series is supported with a bios update (which was supposed to have been applied before they shipped the board).    
     It depends on when the MB left the factory, most likely it left the factory before the updated BIOS was available. What is the BIOS number printed on the sticker on the BIOS chip?
     You need at least I4 (18.4) for the FX6100
     To flash the BIOS you would need to take it to a local shop to do it for you which could cost very little or much more than you're willing to pay, depends on the shop. You could send it back to the store you bought it from and see if they will do it. You could buy a cheap supported Sempron CPU and do it yourself.

  • 890FXA-GD65/1090T will not power up

    I put together a new system this weekend. It looks beautiful, but when I apply power I see a brief flash of the CPU phase LEDS then nothing.
    Does anyone have any ideas?   
    Proc: AMD X6 1090T

    Optical: LG Blu-Ray WH10LS30
    PSU: Cougar 700 Watt PX700-RT
    Case: Lian Li PC-K7

    Try reseating the processor. Have the motherboard out of the case for the procedure to make sure seating's good.
    When done and happy, don't put the motherboard back until you know there will be no so called stand-offs/spacers/distanser left unused between motherboard and case. If you feel able, you can also test-run the core parts outside the case: PSU, motherboard, processor and a single stick of memory.

  • AGEPA Update for 890FXA-GD65 (Socket AM3+ Steam incompatibility)

    Just installed Valve's Steam onto my new desktop for the first time and get the blue screen of death upon loading Portal 2.
    After a bit of Googling I've discovered that this is a known issue for Bulldozer chips with certain newer titles on Steam, there appear to be a few bios updates from major venders to tackle this issue as advised in this page on the AMD site - http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/STEAMGamesonAMDFXplatforms.aspx
    Unfortunately the link for the MSI board is for the newer socket 990FXA-GD80 and there doesn't appear to be an update for the 890FXA-GD65 (I'm currently running the most recent BIOS for this board). Just wondered if anybody else was aware of this / has seen a fix?
    I have filed a query direct with MSI, but have yet to receive a response, don't really want to dump this board & upgrade as this is the only issue I've had with an otherwise superb product.

    You are talking to yourself, as I see nobody else reporting this in the forum.
    I can only conclude that your "issue" is within your Windows.
    Ergo format your harddisk and install Windows from scratch.
    No need to be patronising Bas. The "issue" is not with my windows.
    This is an issue with all AM3+ with Bulldozer chips installed, boards from all vendors, MSI released a fix for the 990FXA-GD80, but both 890's and the 990FXA-GD65 haven't had the fix released, I'm talking to myself because it is quite a niche problem, not that many people using FX chips that want to play the 4 or 5 games affected by this problem. There have been other forum posts relating to this issue regarding other boards.
    However to prove a point, this problem has persisted over a Radeon 5870 and Radeon 6850 and about 5 complete formats and reinstalls on a Samsung 500gb F3 and a Crucial M4 SSD and 2 bios flashes to the latest bios.
    It's a problem conceded by Steam and AMD, and isn't an "issue" I have concocted to scapegoat an issue I can't find.
    Here are some links to prove that I am not just a mentalist posting about a non existent "issue".

    Here is a thread on this very forum for this "issue" on the 990FXA-GD80 - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=154543.0
    I've tried playing a friends boxed copy of Shogun 2 (one of the titles effected) and it installs and runs with no issues, further underlining that this is a problem with the DRM associated with Steam and how it interacts with the FX chips on this bios and not my Windows installation.
    The problem also doesn't persist when I replace the FX chip with a Phenom 2 Socket AM3 chip using all the same hardward.
    Trust me Bas, I wouldn't be posting here that this was the "issue" if it wasn't. I build an average of 2-4 machines a month (all with MSI mainboards, but mostly socket 1155), and am big enough and ugly enough to fix any issues I create. I chose to build my own desktop using socket AM3+, so I could have a play with the new Bulldozer architecture before recommending it to people. Unfortunately it looks like I'm gonna continue recommending Sandybridge for the time being at least.

  • 890fxa-gd65 black screen due to usb use ?

    To discribe the problem in simple words: I noticed that my new build system stops working after approx. 20 minutes when I play a game (burnout city paradise) with my logitech gamepad, hence usb. Screen goes black, system is totally not responding to anything, but fans still run. I have to shut it down with the button on the psu. But after that I can restart my system right away. When I play any other game that doesn't involve a gamepad, the system tends to do the same black screen thing after 2 hours of playing, but only if I have usb stuff plugged in (printer, external hdd's and a card reader). Again, hence usb. As soon as I unplug everything, exept for the mouse and keyboard, it seems that I can play without end, but sometimes the black screen thing still occurs. I have been reading similar post on this problem in this forum, and on the internet, and tried the sollutions suggested, (in the bios,ver 18.3, cell menu, changing timing from 1t to 2t, switching from unganged to ganged mode) but that didn't help.
    This is my setup:
    890fxa-gd65 mb with bios version 18.3
    AMD X4 II 965 AM3 Black [email protected] Mhz
    Geil 8 gig DDR3 Value Plus pc1333 Dual channel memory kit (2x4gig)
    MSI R6850 Cyclone Graphics Card.
    Samsung HD, 1 TB, HD103SJ F3
    Club 3D psu, 1000w
    Windows 7 ultimate, 64bit.
    If I should place screen shots of CPU-Z here, let me know. But i hope someone can help me, because I'm running out of options. I don't want to RMA this board just jet.

    do you use windows 7 chipset drivers?
    or msi chipset drivers? ==> http://www.msi.com/product/mb/890FXA-GD65.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064
    also do you have SP1 installed?
    I use the msi chipset drivers, and SP1 is installed.
    But something weird just happened. I just tried to play a game with "Battlefield Bad Company 2", single player. It took a while trying to load the level, and then, all of a sudden the screen went black and the whole system was not responding. Had to shut it down with the power button on the PSU. And could restart immidiatly after that. And I mean Windows. Not the game....... I'm puzzeled    What I can do is that I try to do the same thing, play a single player game with BFBC 2, and see what happens......
    Edit:
    As I wrote, I went back to the game. Now it had no trouble loading the level. And I could play. I didn't play it for an extended period of time. Just to see if it works. And as I said, it did. This is becoming a weird puzzle.

  • I have a Quicktime video posted on my website. It plays perfectly in Safari but won't reload in Firefox unless I clear the cache.  I have Firefox 4.0.1, Quicktime plugin 7.6.6 and Quicktime Pro 10.0..

    Here is what worked for me:
      My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc.
