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 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.

Firefox 10.0.2esr closes or crashes on my Windows XP PC with AMD Phenom x6 1100T

Upgraded from FF3.6.28( had no problems with 1100T) and now FF10.0.2 keeps closing or crashes. Identified the problem to be more than 4 core processors with FF. I have developed a workaround, but would like know what FF release fixes this issue ?

I wasn't aware that Firefox had a problem with more than 4 cores in a processor. How did you make the connection?
If you type or paste about:crashes in the address bar and press Enter, you may find some crash IDs. You can click those to link up with Firefox's crash analysis server and see whether any bug reports are associated.
If those are inscrutable (I often find them impossible to unravel), you could post some of the crash IDs here for volunteers to review.
Unrelated to your CPU, Firefox's use of hardware graphics acceleration can cause problems due to driver incompatibilities. Could you try disabling it?
You usually need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If you restart Firefox, is stability improved?
Finally, 10.0.2 is quite old now. For your security, you really do need to upgrade sooner rather than later.

HP Pavilion g6 Notebook incompatible with AMD PHENOM II N660 processor

Hello,
I am having a problem with upgrading my laptop's processor.
Product Name : HP Pavilion g6 Notebook PC
Product Number : QJ283EA#ABU
The processor I've bought is a AMD Phenom II N660 which is supposed to be compatible according to this pdf:
http://www.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02770249.pdf
However when I took my laptop apart to place the new processor in, the processor socket didn't match the pins on the processor. Hope that made sense? I'm not an expert with computers, but have some knowledge about them.
What can I do? Is there anything I can do to fix this such as buying a new processor socket or is that something that can't be changed? From what I can tell the processor appears to be compatible according to the information on the pdf above, so shouldn't the pins be the same?
Thanks for reading and I hope someone knows how to help me!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

If the originally installed CPU was of the AMD E-Series, then the system board accepts only BGA413 socket CPUs.
If the CPU was an A-series AMD CPU, then the socket was FS1
The CPU that you bought is a Socket S1 (S1g4) type.
Upgrading the CPU does require a bit more than looking at the Maintenence & Service guide as a reference. The guide assumes that you have all of the perquisite knowlege. That is why tt is meant for HP Service Centers and technicians.

Pavilion a6700y with AMD Phenom X4 9150e -- Unclock to full speed

I have an HP Pavilion a6700y with 6GB DRAM running the AMD Phenom X4 9150e quad core processor.
The processor is "clocked down" to 2000 MHz by HP, but is capable of running at 3200 MHz. How do I increase the clock speed to 3200 MHz?
Do I need to add additional cooling capability? There is one fan on the power supply, another on the side of the case and a third on the processor itself.
What is the risk of unclocking a processor?

Desert-Aries, welcome to the forum.
HP has the processor locked so it can't be overclocked.

KA780G not working with AMD Phenom II x4

Hi, I have a KA780G that is currently working just fine with an AMD 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.7 GHz with 8 GB of RAM (OCZ Reaper) and running on Windows 7 64-bit (ultimate edition).
I just purchased and installed an AMD Phenom II x4 940 Black Edition with 3.0 GHz, 8.0 MB Total Cache, socket AM2+. My problem is that whenever I try to boot the system with this processor, the Windows loading screen just hangs and never gets me to the login screen. I can access the bios perfectly fine but Windows will not boot.
The cover of the motherboard box does say "AMD Phenom II x4 Ready" so I'm confused. Anyone know what my problem is or how I can try to fix it? Thanks in advance.

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

Last night I came home to a ceased PC with a frozen screen. PC has been working fine for over 2 years, but CPU has been running a bit hot of late (60C) with occasional BSODs with some ATI driver reference. Updated video drivers a few times. Suspected overheating CPU or ATI. Never overclocked it.
Specifications:
CPU: 3.2Ghz Quad-core AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition
M/B: MSI 790GX-G65
BIOS: Don't know. I upgraded it at one point.
Memory: 4x 2GB DDR3 Apacer (2GB UNB PC3-10600 CL9). Don't have more info right now.
Video: On-board.
Hard-drives: 1x 500GB Western Digital (Removed)
Peripheral Devices: PCI Wi-Fi card (Removed)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
PSU: ISO-500PP Switching PSU, Max Output 420W rated 23.0A @ 12V
Symptoms:
Black screen with blinking monitor LED (connected via DVI).
All 5 blue M/B LEDs light up.
No POST.
No Beeps (connected PC speaker to JFP2 according to maunal)
No peripheral activation, e.g. no keyboard lights / mouse.
All funs run (incl. PSU fan).
If USB keyboard is plugged in when powered, keyboard function LED lights up for a second, then dies.
Suspected Causes:
Broken CPU
Broken PSU. It is the only component I skimped on with this system (420W), but I was saving money and didn't have a video card DVD drive or anything fancy connected. Worked great until now.
Things I have tried:
Left it overnight.
Reseated CPU and heatsink (did not reapply thermal paste).
Cleaned heatsink under CPU Fan.
Removed PSU and M/B from case.
Disconnected everything.
Laid M/B on anti-static bag with only power supply and monitor via DVI cable.
Removed all RAM. Starting produces no beeps from PC speaker (via JFP2). Suspect broken CPU.
Some things I have not tried:
A different PSU
VGA output
Different AM2 CPU (don't have one)
New thermal paste
Clearing CMOS and removing battery. Not sure how to do this (do I need to remove CMOS battery and hold clr CMOS button for 60s?)
Since everything on the M/B lights up (incl. blinking Wi-Fi LED when it was connected), I suspect a bricked CPU.
Where do I go from here?
(edit: added keyboard LED symptom)

@Fredrik:
Yes, I tried with 1 RAM DIMM in different positions. I connected a PC speaker and my standard speakers via the audio jack (some new M/Bs apparently output to it). I don't have access to another compatible system to try my CPU on. Very infrequent thunderstorms.
@cronnin:
1. Placed M/B on unpainted wooden table. Good point about the anti-static bag - I forgot that it conducts. No change in symptoms.
2. Everything is disconnected. I've tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots and connected a CRT monitor via VGA. No video out.
3. I connected an old PC speaker to pins 2 and 8 of JFP2 and plugged in normal speakers via green audio jack on M/B. I can't get it to produce any sound whatsoever.
4. FSB overclock switches are both ON.
5. I pressed and held CLR_CMOS for 10 seconds while ATX power was connected and system unpowered. Didn't touch the battery.
More Things I Tried:
Used a multimeter to test my PSU ATX outputs on the board when powered on. I get a steady 12.35V, 5.2V and 3V at the M/B power connector. Starting to think the PSU is OK, but still can't be sure. If there was a lack of current, wouldn't the voltages start to break-down?

MSI NF750-G55 with AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition bundle from NewEgg

I purchased this CPU/Mobo bundle from NewEgg recently and am having a hard time getting anything to work. Here are the components I am using:
MSI NF750-G55 mobo
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU
2x4Gb GSkill F3-10666CL9D-8GBSR DDRIII ram
EVGA GeForce GTX550 Ti SLI ready graphics board
ZUMAX X3 Series ATX 650Watt power supply
NZXT M59 ATX Mid tower case
Now to the problem - no POST
I have double checked the CPU seating and installation and its correct, have tried both on board video as well as the GeForce, and no signal to the monitor. The 4 blue ASP power led's do light up, and the CPU fan spins, but only for a few seconds. Then it shuts off, then restarts, and keeps cycling like this. Have tried with no memory installed, same issue. I have seen several entries on forums for no POST on this mobo. Can anyone help me here? Am I looking at a bad mobo or what? Currently have it out of the case on a non conductive surface.

Msi 890fxa-g65 and two radeon 6950 video cards

Hi,
So far I have the one radeon 6950 with the MSI msi 890fxa-g65 motherboard. I was thinking of getting another 6950 down the road and was wondering if anyone was able to fit two 6950 video cards on a msi 890fxa-g65 motherboard.
It seems a bit tight. Also I currently have an Ultra brand 750W PSU. Is that enough?
Thanks.
Mike

Quote from: zerohedge101 on 27-March-11, 22:58:58
Thank for the response. The main impedance is on the motherboard connections for the front panel of the computer case. These pins are located at the bottom of the motherboard where the 6950 video card goes. The pin connections and the wire stick out quite a bit and the video card might crush them a little.
Is there some sort of adapter for those pin connections to make them go on a 90 degree instead of straight out. This is the only impedance to get that video card in really. The case is big enough even though its only a mid -tower.
Thanks for any help.
Yes, those are you HDD, power and stand-by switch connectors I believe. Yes, I have seen 90* adapters but I don't remember where. It might come with the case attachments or a Mobo I put together about a year ago. In any case, take your existing card and "gentaly" place it into that bottom slot without the pins inserted (mark or draw a little graph as to where those pins go). See if you still have a little bit of room for your connectors. Also, what kind of connectors are we talking here? USB external pins are here to. If you can live with just the MoBo USB ports, then forget the external USB connection then. That way, simply put that card in and GO! Try it out.

AMD Phenom II's and CS5 Premeire

I'm still using Premiere Pro 2 and I'm thinking of finally upgrading. Now I know everyone recommends Core i7 systems, but the only reasons I've seen for these recommendations always seem to involve encode times. I really don't mind waiting longer for things to render. As long as playback and scrubbing is smooth while editing, and I can use at least 4 or 5 layers at once, that's all that matters to me. So my question is this: would a Phenom II 940 system with a gtx 260 using the hack to unlock the cuda acceleration run smoothly enough during the editing process in CS5? Would it really be significantly worse than an i7 for scrubbing, playback and such? Would CS4 be a better choice for me? Also, my camera only shoots 1080i, so I wouldn't be editing 1080p footage.

AMD is a lousy choice for editing, because of the lack of SSE 4.1 extensions. It performs way slower than Intel.
Even dual hexa core Opteron on CS5 are around 3 times slower than a properly configured i7-920. And a Phenom 940 machine running CS4 is more than 20 times slower than an i7-920 running CS5.

Crackling Issues with AMD Cool'n'Quiet and Intel SpeedS

After enabling AMD Cool'n'Quiet on my Vista 64 computer ([url="http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=Vista&message.id=2093">see this thread[/url]), I noticed that I had crackling in my audio from my Creative X-Fi. I put my Minimum Processor State back to 00%, and the crackling is gone. With both Minimum and Maximum Processor State on 00%, I have no crackling issues. I haven't tested Intel SpeedStep, but I would imagine that will also cause this problem. Can anyone verify this?Message Edited by dypsis on 03-25-200706:32 PM

I am running MSI K8N Neo Platinum/SLI 64FX? with 4gbram?I have never really used the cool n quiet utility becasue it always seemed to make the motherboard fans whine somewhat, for this purpose I enabled and disabled cool n quiet several times, and I honestly didnt hear any difference in sound, albeit the fan whinning was there. I dont know if this is conected or not, its possible cool N quiet creates other noise as well. I never did like the util. But, it might stand to reason that if the utility was creating voltage or signal variations it could cause the rice krispies syndrome so many people have been talking about. Have to get some more feedback on this issue.

MSI NF980-G65 with AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edtion 140 Watt

Do I need to update the bios before I install OS? I have tried 2 of these mobo's and both would shut down during XP installation. The ram I was using was G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666). The board would not restart unless I cleared cmos and that didn't always work. Needed multiple tries sometimes. When it did restart It would show "bad cmos checksum" If it's just a matter of flashing the new bios before I install the OS, then which bios should I use as there are 3 listed on MSI for that board? (1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

What PSU you use? VGA? Read >>Posting Guide<<
Ensure that CPU heatsink is properly installed also:
• Verify that CPU is not exceeding recommended temperature by checking the CPU temperature in the BIOS under PC Health status
•    Check CPU heatsink/fan is properly installed
   •    Verify that any cover over the thermal interface on the bottom of the CPU HSF is removed
   •    Verify that CPU HSF is recommended for your CPU
•    Check for CPU overclocking which may cause overheating
   •    Check CPU FSB clock
   •    Check CPU Vcore voltage
•    Check computer case for proper ventilation
Check BIOS temp reported in BIOS and check CPU operating voltage.
