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?

Thermaltake 650W PSU
Corsair 2x4GB DDR3 1333MHz (CMX8GX3M2A1333C9)
XFX 6850 Black
WD 750GB Caviar Black HDD

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:

  • Streaming video and USB woes

    Hello, I have 10.5.7 installed on a macbook pro (october 2006 model).
    When I am watching streaming video in safari (I'm a baseball fan, and keep up with my team on mlb.tv), I have issues with my USB ports. For some reason, they turn off and on while streaming video. All of my harddrives, mouse, and keyboard disconnect and reconnect a few seconds later. I am using 2 powered USB hubs and the issue happens no matter the configuration. And it only happens when I stream a video (in flash, if that matters).
    Please tell me there is a fix, because my computer is basically unusable when this starts to happen.
    Thanks,
    -Daniel Brim

    If you have items connected directly to the computer, do you have issues? Try connecting 2 peripherals at a time to your computer (or 3, if you have that many USB ports on the computer) and see if they work fine. If so, the problem may be with the hubs you're using.

  • Ipod Video and USB 2.0 with not enough power

    Hi all,
    Ok, post number 2 for me. I have noticed another thing in the Ipod Video 30 gig that really has me wondering what is going on. I tested this out in various systems, being the analytical sort, and it seems to be that case. As long as there is enough power in the USB port to accomodate the Ipod, things are fine. Life is good.
    But if there is not, even if you are compatible, in Windows, then things will be bad. First of all, your Ipod will freeze. That is bad. The second thing is that your Ipod will not come up as an Ipod in Windows, but will be a generic USD device drive. pretty awful.
    So you have to reset the Ipod, and make sure that your USB port has enough power dedicated to it for the Ipod to be plugged into it. How much power is this baby sucking up anyways? On my machine at work, if I plug it in, and it only has a keyboard and mouse on it, it will not work. What is that?
    Any help is much appreciated:>
    Thanks

    You may have noticed that as a Windows user you get little to no response in this forum to questions. Wrong side of the tracks you know.
    Anyway, I have found the same issues. I surmise that the real issue is that IPods are designed to be used with a MAC. There are of course literally tens of millions of Windows users out there so Apple was obliged for business reasons to accomodate them. The power issue is just one of the many problems Windows users have. Most non-hub and non-keyboard USBs will have enough power. Not all but most.
    Keep in mind that I think MACs ROCK!! I would have had one if they were compatable with the machines already in my office. The IPod it great. The issues can be worked around.

  • Ipod video and USB 1.0...

    I purchased a 60Gb Ipod as a gift and I have come to find out that my daughter's IMac has USB 1.0. Can she use it? An Apple store person said she would have to buy a new computer. The tech specs on the Apple site say 2.0 Recommended but it does not say 1.0 is not supported. does anybody kmow any thing about this?

    I'm sure it's slower than it would be on USB
    2
    Yes, 40 times slower.
    30GB=~5.5hours (USB 1.1) vs. ~12 minutes (USB 2.0).
    Ah, but if you've never had USB 2, the slower speed of USB 1.1 isn't so obvious. My main point was that my iPod does charge via 1.1. But thanks for the specifics -- I'm thinking I'd better start saving my pennies for a newer machine. <G>

    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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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)

    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've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...

  • Which MacBook Pros are safe to buy used and not recalled for video graphics/display failure (due to overheating)?

    I've had some bad luck with MacBook Pros lately. I bought a 2010 model but it was effectively a Total Loss because of a vehicle accident. From searching with Google, people have reported logic board failures. Who knows if mine would've failed, too.
    Then I bought an older 2009 MacBook Pro and that eventually failed due to the graphics chip failure. There was a recall on it but the problem occured JUST after the recall period expired. I don't have a microwave solder lying around or a proper setup to fix the problem myself.
    Now, I im in the market for a used MacBook Pro, as a gift (I can't afford a new one right now) (with the luck I have, I'm basically done with them but the person wants one).
    I've seen some 2011 models priced quite attractively, which caused me to do a quick check and find that the (early) 2011 models also have video graphic failures. I don't get it. I understand paying for the name, but the name also has to have reliability and you don't hear about video graphics failures from some of the more well known PC manufacturers..just saying.
    I'd strongly prefer to not purchase any retina models, if at all possible. I want a mechanical SATA HDD and an optical drive. I oppose proprietary components -- as I understand it, the retina models make it nearly impossible to upgrade.
    Which used MacBook Pros are safe for purchase? In other words, which ones do not have recalls or are susceptible to video graphics/display failures? I don't want to put the money down for one, only to hear it kicked the bucket and it needs service and is out of warranty.
    Thank you for your time.

  • How can I capture live video and still image by a DirectX compatible USB webcam using LabView ?

    Dear forum members
       I'd like to design a user interface which shows a live video and capture still images for it by a DirectX compatible USB webcam using LabView or NI Vision Toolkit, how can I do this ? and If this is possible How can I reach the webcam DirectX filter properties and set them using LabView ? I would be grateful to anyone Who lead me to the correct solution.
        Sincerely
        Cem DEMiRKIR

    Cem,
        With our example programs you can acquire and save an image (IMAQ >> File Input and Output >> Snap and Save to File.vi) from one camera, if you double the VI's to create the image and the image task, you can easily have one program acquire and save for two cameras.
        I may need more information on what you mean by calibration.  Do you mean basic camera setup?  That can be done in Measurement and Automation Explorer by setting up the options within the IMAQ settings for each camera.  Or do you mean more complex calibration for special types of images?  The more description of what you mean, the better I will be able to help you get it done.  You mentioned zoom and motion parameters, what kind of motion?  Our vision drivers only control triggering the camera to acquire, then analyzing, processing and displaying the resulting image.
        If you have more details on exactly what you want to do, that would be great.  Let me know if you have more questions, thanks!
