890FXA-GD70 CPU overheat protection

Hi, I would like to know if this board have an overheat protection for the CPU ? if so, where I can check the setting for it.
have a nice day everyone
P.S.   I ask because mine shutdown and when I go check and the Water Block was very hot, ( the koolance flow meter was leakin betwen the glass and the stainless cap ) I fix the problem and it's seams to work fine now

Actually I just finish to  setup core temp to shutdown the pc will not happen anymore as I set the temp at 45'c  it never go over 40. But it must have already a protection on the CPU as the PC shutdown, if it  crashed  because of the heat, it will have reboot no ?

  • K8n neo2 CPU overheat protection and safe temps?

    Hello,
    K8N neo2 has "CPU overheat protection", what is the cutoff temperature? Does it monitor temperature all the time?
    What happens to FX-53 CPU if it heats above 70C and MB does not shut it down?
    Thanks

    It does, I ran mine at 1.8v by accident and it got a bit hot Shut itself down and luckily caused no problems

  • 890fxa gd70 cpu support

    straight to questions
    i have 890fxa gd70 rev 1.3 with the black socket AM3+
    1. does my 890fxa gd70 supports the upcoming FX-8140 or even vishera out of the box?
    2. can i boot into the bios or can it even boot windows? i had an experience before with AMD that when i put a new released processor to an old motherboard it still can boot, the only downside was the bios wrongly recognized the processor
    3. if i'm building a new pc, and im buying an 990fx board just at the same time vishera is out (without vishera's bios), will it boot?
    4. dont you think, if building a new pc with vishera needs to have an old processor to boot it first, this will eliminate the price advantage that AMD has?

    will i be violating my warranty by updating to this bios?
    no

    if my board dies after flashing, can i use my warranty?
    yes

    really confuses me, as if msi provide something but don't care if its working or not
    BIOS flashing is always at own risk

  • What drivers to install for MSI 890FXA-GD70 for max performance?

    I recently bought this board and installed Windows 7 Ultimate x64 retail on it. When I did Windows 7 automatically installed all drivers.
    I did however install ATI's catalyst suite for my 2 HD4770's for better performance, but none of the southbridge drivers.
    Does it make any difference when I do that, what do these drivers improve?
    I also noticed drivers on the official MSI site seem outdated... any help in this one would be much appreciated. 
    Edit: forgot to give system specs.
    Mainboard: MSI 890FXA-GD70
    CPU: AMD Phemon II 955
    CPU-cooler: Corsair H50
    Memory: Corsair Dominator CMD8GX3M4A1600C8 (8GB)
    GFX: 2x ATI HD4770 (crossfire)
    HDD: Intel Postville 80GB (boot)
    HHD2: WD 300 GB (data)
    HDD3: Toshiba 1TB (external backup)
    PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M600

    MSI live update will give you the lateist or you can find them from the source witch can be annoying to find. yes i would recommend installing all drivers for the mobo

  • 890FXA-GD70 & Lightning 6790 HD - 2E Error Code

    Edited on 09/01/2011 @ 16:26: Added memory capacity size to specifications.
    Hello,
    I'm wrapping up building a machine (not my first pretty experienced at this) and I can't get past error '2E' from the Diag LED on the Mobo. Here are the configuration specs followed by how I have everything hooked up.
    Motherboard: MSI 890FXA-GD70
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
    Memory: Corsair XMS PC16000 2x4GB
    Video Card: MSI Lightning Radeon HD 6970
    HDD: 2x Western Digital Raptor, 2x Toshiba SSD
    PSU: Antec HCP (High Current Pro) 1200
    BIOS Version: A7640AMS V 1.10 063011
    If you are familiar with the HCP 1200 it has two additional (red) PCI-E 12v 8-Pin adapters and it says they should be used for connecting the video card. I have used those along with the already braided connections. I understand that the 2E code represents an initialization error with the output devices, so I'm most certainly sure it's an issue with the video card.
    I have tried to following to resolve this:
    Uninstalled all connections to all devices including RAM (except the processor).
    Reseated the card in all slots.
    When I disconnect the power to the card, the behavior of the spin up of the fans in the computer are different. They are normal. High RPM then gradually back down to low RPM. With the card connected it goes High RPM then immediately back down to low RPM almost as if it were being cut off... No circuit noise, just lost RPM almost immediately.
    I have a Radeon X1950 that works fine in every slot except the First PCI-E slot which is supposed to be Gen 2.0, so I suspect that's why the X1950 is not working. However this could be alluding to something else.
    I'm not quite sure where the problem lies, and I feel like I'm "missing a step somewhere".
    Any assistance would be great, and I'm also able to provide video of what's occurring if that will help folks.

    Do you have another VGA to try in the 1st PCI-E slot?
    I think he already did that:

    PCI-E Gen 2.0 shouls be backward compatible to the standard of your x1950. Also, all slots are basically Gen 2.0 slots.
    "2E" definately means an error during video card initialization, so at least we have consistency here (without video card installed):

    The error code remains the same.
    Two cards that make problems in the primary PCI-Express slot but work in others:

    X1950 that works fine in every slot except the First PCI-E
    Quote
    Upon installing the card in the 5th PCI-E slot the error cleared and the system booted.
    Quote
    Further more the card profile in the AMD Software detects that I am using x8. Which furthers my suspicion that there maybe an issue with x16 on my MB.
    The slot you put the card in only supports x8, if I am not mistaken:

    • 5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots
    - PCI_E1 supports up to PCIE x16 speed (when PCI_E3 is empty)
    - PCI_E5 supports up to PCIE x16 speed (when PCI_E6 is empty)
    - If you want to install two graphics cards, please use PCI_E1 & PCI_E5 slots
    - PCI_E3 & PCI_E6 support up to PCIE x8 speed
    - If you want to install four expansion cards into PCI_E1, E3, E5 & E6 slots, these four PCIE x 16 lanes  will auto arrange from x16/ x0/ x16/ x0 to x8/ x8/ x8/ x8
    - PCI_E4 supports up to PCIE x4 speed
    • 1 PCI Express 2.0 x1 slot
    • 1 PCI slot, support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface.
    In my opinion, these indicate a defective mainboard as a potential cause of the issue. 

  • 890FXA-GD70 BIOS Recovery Requested.

    Hello Forum
    I just put together a brand new system using the 890FXA-GD70 Motherboard and I have serious problems.
    Occasionally the system will freeze and crash.
    I will tell my story in order of how this began and all steps I have performed
    While in the bios I attempted to change my boot order.  As soon as I changed the device the bios froze.   I started the computer back up
    No screen input.
    Reset button does nothing.  System does nothing.
    After about 10 reboots with bios resetting and such  I eventually got a message
    “BIOS Recovery Requested”  insert USB…
    I tried to reboot a few times
    Sometimes I would get the bios recovery requested message
    Most times I would get nothing
    Eventually I inserted a CF card with a bios image on it
    Exact bios image on the MSI site  without changing the file name
    The system would scroll the BIOS recovery message over and over until it rebooted
    Said it disabled recovery just before it shut down
    The machine now boots fine up till I need to start windows and it does not
    So I restart and go through the whole problem over again and this time I restore the bios using the built in flash utility in the BIOS  I believe its MFLASH
    After the flash and a bios settings reset, windows boots but the whole problem starts over again after trying to do something intensive.
    So I re do everything as this is becoming normal procedure dealing with the system freezing in windows or in the bios (randomly in the bios  nothing specifically triggers it)
    (everything as in reboot the system till I get the recovery message  put the flash card in and wait till it disables recovery   go into bios and re-flash it)
    My last step was I flashed a fresh bios with MFLASH
    and then did a memory test with microsofts ram test software outside of windows.  That froze about 7% in and caused the system to beep non stop.
    And I’m back to start.  System does not boot, get the bios recovery message if I’m lucky.
    No over-clocking is setup  and I use optimal (Auto) settings.
    All problems occurs with either ram stick   either paired or alone
    Here is my equipment
    Motherboard : MSI 890FXA-GD70
    CPU : AMD|PH II X6 1100T 3.3G AM3 With OEM Heatsink and fan
    PSU : CORSAIR|CMPSU-650TX 650W
    RAM : 2Gx2|GSKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GB
    HD : WD Black SATA 2 1TB 7200RPM 32MB cache
    Video Card : GeForce 7950 512 mb with PCI-E power conencted
    OS : Windows 7 Pro 64  (legit fresh install)
    Other Details
    USB keyboard Merc Stealth , Microsoft USB Intili Mouse , Internal 5 Port USB cardreader,
    Liteon USB cdrom drive
    Monitor is a 52 inch LCD TV using DVI input on a 25 foot cord on max video card resolution when permited 1080
    Im guessing this is not a ram or cpu problem but the bios chip may be defective  and when the system loses the bios it freezes
    otherwise why would i get bios checksum errors and recovery prompts after each freeze.
    Please advise  this is brand new and i should not have something defective this soon.

    After spending 12-14 hours on the problem i can now safely give a detailed report of the problem
    Disregard what i said before as they were just symptoms of another problem
    It boots 100% stable if DIMM slots 1 2 and 3 are empty
    it does not matter the make or model of the ram in slot 4 but the system boots and works flawlessly.
    I ran extensive tests with prime 95 and memory tests.  It works flawlessly in this configuration.
    As soon as a stick of ram goes into any other slot  either singular or dual channel the board does a rapid boot cycle
    this constant power on and off if left too long corrupts the bios settings
    bios setting problem is rectified by putting one stick of ram into dimm 4 and letting it reset itself in a stable enviorment
    also while the system is stable i used the MSI software to check all the voltages and everything appeared normal
    However
    if i make the system boot with standard memory configuration  such as one in DIMM 1  or 1+2  i get odd voltage readings
    (extremely unstable if im lucky enough to get it to boot)
    the NB voltage quickly fluctuates between 1.15  and 1.7+ every min or so  like if there are micro spikes in voltage
    While this happens the 2 lights next to the slots indicating i believe the dram power phase blink
    But
    When i only put a ram stick into DIMM 4 only one light for the powerphase is lit and it is stable
    So this so far is not a corrupt BIOS chip to me but rather a symptom of another problem
    I have another CPU coming in the mail tommorow  I will test it out along with a few other boards
    a 1090T
    2 890fxa-gd70's and some others
    If i have a hardware problem it will surely be singled out
    I will find out what the problem is with this board and post my result.
    If anyone has any suggestions to make this board work please comment

  • Need help overclocking Phenom 2 1100T cpu on a 890FXA-GD70 mobo

    Need help overclocking a AMD Phenom 2 1100T cpu on a 890FXA-GD70 motherboard. I only want to overclock the cpu, not my ram. Basically, I need to know which voltages to change and at what voltages to start at. Also, I've currently have the cpu multiplier and Turbo Core multiplier set at 3.7/3.9, not the stock 3.3/3.7.
    Computer Spec's
    NZXT Tempest EVO case
    MSI 890FXA_GD70 motherboard
    AMD Phenom 2 1100T cpu
    Corsair Hydro Series H80 heatsink (mediem setting)
    G-Skill Ripjaws Series DDR3 1600 ram 16 gbs @ 9-9-9-24-40-2T (going to be getting Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1866 16 gb. kit in 2/12)
    OCZ ZX Series 1250 watt modular psu
    OCZ Vertex 3 120 gb. Max IOPS ssd
    2 Western Digital Caviar Black 1.0 tb. hard drives
    HIS Digital IceQ X Turbo X Radeon HD 6950 2.0 gb. video card (getting 2nd IceQ X TurboX HD 6950 2.0 gb. for CrossfireX next month)
    Hauppauge WinTV HVR-1850 tv tuner
    Windows 7 Professional SP1 x64

    If you didnt adust the multipliers for anything or changed the FSB then simply bump your CPU (Not CPUNB) to about ~1.42v   that should keep it stable.
    Run Prime95 or Intel Burn test for a couple hours to make sure

  • 890FXA-GD70 Will not POST

    I recently purchased a new MSI 890FXA-GD70 motherboard from Newegg.com, along with a couple other upgrades. I put together my new computer consisting of this motherboard, a new AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE CPU, 8 GB of RAM, and an older nVidia 9800GTX+ GPU. The memory and video card have worked in previous machines.This PC will not boot. It will not even POST. The lights on the motherboard flash like mad, and the LED readout just flashes "FF." I RMA'd it to NewEgg, but was denied due to peeling the sticker off the back of the MOBO, so now I'll send it to MSI. I'm hoping for some good news.

  • MSI 890FXA-GD70 w/ 2xIntel 510 120GB in RAID 0 on Locks up and BSOD

    I am getting hard lockups and BSOD from the following
    OS: Win7x64
    MB: MSI 890FXA-GD70 w/ latest BIOS
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
    HD: 2xIntel SSD 520 120GB SSD RAID 0
    VID: ATI FirePro V4800
    RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1600 F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL
    I have swapped power supplies. I have swapped identical RAM. I have swapped video cards. I have used Ultimate Boot CD to run Memtest and other stress tests and everything passes with flying colors. BIOS is loaded with defaults fail safe. RAID array is created using all defaults for a RAID 0. Everything points to SSD firmware or other issues. Maybe RAID 0 with 2 Intel 510's using a AMD SB850 is not supported? Firmware versions on the 510's are both PPG4 which is the latest. Am I doing something wrong? Anyone have any ideas? I am very disappointed that that I can not get my RAID 0 stable. BTW I am doing no overclocking etc. Hardware and errors follow. Thanks!

    Thanks for the help! It is appreciated. Power supply is Antec 380W. I have tried swapping out with identical one - both were brand new and I have had pretty good luck with Antec in the past so I kind of doubt that's it. Wish it was so easy! The machine is on a good line interactive UPS as well so power fluctuations are not causing this.
    I am using the hardware RAID on the SB850 - it requires loading the latest driver from USB during installation. But prior to that it requires a Ctrl-F and into the RAID setup. I choose RAID 0 and then select both Intel 510 120GB SATA III. The two SSD have the exact same firmware which is the latest per Intel Website.
    Drivers are the latest for Win7x64 from here:

    This problem is posted in two other spots - Intel Forums and Windows Seven Forums

    No one has been able to solve it yet. Seems like MSI and Intel are both good companies but these products are not compatible in the configuration I am attempting.

  • Killed two 890fxa-gd70s, my fault or bad luck?

    Not sure where to start but I had an MSI 890fxa-gd70 (amd) board for 6 months in which it was overclocked since nearly day one, all good till recently. This past friday the board failed. Durring prime the system shut down, fans and all, and a burning smell came from the northbridge area. Once out of the case it seemed like the choke below the 8pin power connector, or at least VERY close to that area was the source of the smell, NO visual signs at all on either side of the board of anything at all. The top of the choke had maybe 2-3 dots from heat im guessing. Overclock wasnt even "extreme". Just a new setting I wanted to try.
    Well I got my rma number monday and picked up the replacement board tuesday and it failed durring prime the SAME way as the last one. This time absolutly no signs, the chokes had no dots. Originally started the computer, basic function tested, rebooted and applied mild OC settings and prime tested, died in less than an hour of total use and I was only maybe 10mins into prime. Im not sure the replacement was even remanufactured but maybe a "couldnt duplicate issue" and thrown into a white box to be given out. There was a capacitor right above the 1st pcie16 slot than was scratched with a slight dent and a scatch near the bottom of the north bridge heat since from someone removing their video card i guess.
    So what the heck, is this bad luck or am I causing the issue? I am suspicious that I have too many fans on the mobo. My fan arrangement changed recently about the same time all this started. I have 4 120mm fans for radiators(2 kuhler 120 and 2 corsair 120), kuhler 920 pump, and the corsair mem twin fans driven off the mobo. Previously when I was overclocking I only had 2 120mm fans, pump, and mem fans on for a while but recently off, and back on when I added the other 2 fans for the radiator. Could this be partly to blame? Regardless Im planning on removing all fans from the board next time except the 2 kuhler ones being controlled by the pump.
    I know overclocking is running outside rated settings but no one buys a board like this to run at stock settings, thats why they advertise all the OC features and even have a clear cmos button on the i/o pannel.
    Keep in mind i have done gaming at 4255mhz cpu and 2900ish nb, but wasnt prime stable very long, while the board failed settings where as followed:
    overclock that both failed on was 4140mhz (230x18)
    nb was aprox 2900mhz 1st failure and 2760mhz (aprox) 2nd time
    1.40v cpu vdd
    1.25v cpu-nb on 1st failure and 1.21ish on 2nd failure
    1st failure had a few other voltage settings up a bit, 2nd failure all others where auto except memory at 1.655v memory spec
    power supply is a corsair gs800 watt:

    corsair 8GB dominator gt memory 1866mhz 4dimms
    msi gtx560ti twin frozr ii
    1 corsair f120ssd and 1 7200rpm seagate 1TB drive
    corsair GS800 psu
    8 120mm fans and twin corsair memory fan that comes with dominator gt memory
    So am I causing the issue or a case of bad luck and not to worry? Im really wondering if its the fans, thus why the asus crossfire has so many extra power connections on the board. I just figured the board had all those fan connections it must have been able to handle it, all but one was being used, maybe they didnt plan on 120mm fans being used in most of them.
    I do wanna say Im glad msi has been friendly and am so glad they allow me to drop off and pick up since I live/work nearby. Today I dropped off the bad rma unit and they said they would give me a "new" one, probably a new refurb, but they told me to pick it up tomorrow because they are gonna burn test it overnight so I dont have any issues with the next one. Them stress testing it was nice. I would discuss my setup with them so we could both learn from it but the people I dealt with didnt seem to care how it went out.
    Thanks for input guys, dont wanna waste my time or theirs smoking another board. Hope the next one does well or may need to look into a crossfire v. I have always liked MSI and also use their gtx560 ti.

    manual settings. I wish I wrote my settings down other than just a saved profile, guess I should have also had my bios backed up too
    I have played with a bunch of different settings but 4025mhz (230x17.5) was prime stable for one hour so i used that as my stable oc with only 1.40v on cpu vdd, think it even did an hour on 1.38v too if I remember but left it at 1.40 for good measure. Which if not mistaken is the max normal range the cpu is rated for and used durring normal operation when it ramps to 3.7ghz on stock settings.
    I have done gaming (crysis2 w/dx11 patch and cod blackops)  on 4255mhz with 1.43v. Would easily play till I got tired after an hour of gaming, but would fail prime within 7-8mins...Would shut down and have fans all running and needed to cycle psu. I have always wondered if that was a psu issue since both games use all 6 cores but same time prime IS A KILLER so figured was just the cpu
    When the board failed settings where as followed:
    overclock that both failed on was 4140mhz (230x18)
    nb was aprox 2900mhz 1st failure and 2760mhz (aprox) 2nd time
    1.40v cpu vdd on both times
    1.25v cpu-nb on 1st failure and 1.21ish on 2nd failure
    memory run in the 1840mhz range on 4 dimms
    1st failure had a few other voltage settings up a bit (some where most 2 ticks above auto but sb 1.22v)
    2nd failure all others where auto except memory at 1.655v memory spec and like mentioned cpuvdd 1.40, even nb was auto

  • Code FF :( Please Help MSI 890FXA-GD70

    I had everything working for 8 months or so then everything suddenly went bonkers....my cpu wouldn't start up.  I replaced my PSU and took everything apart and I had it working outside of my case for 2 weeks and then it decided not to start up again.....I resat all components with no luck.
    I RMA'd my motherboard to MSI and had it swapped out.  Now....I went to reseat everything and like an idiot; I had spilled excess arctic silver 5 onto the mainboard socket and the PCU.  I cleaned everything best I could without any solution and tried to start it up; CODE FF (only using 1 stick of ram and video card).
    I did some reading and picked up some loctite electrical cleaner http://www.rshughes.com/products/079340_1174633.html
    and cleaned everything out.  I used a fine brush to clean out the socket.
    Now; I installed pcu; heat sink; 1 stick ram (tried all slots) video card.  I also made sure my power connections were hooked up---pcu and mainboard---I still get a code FF immediately..no post; nothing.  Every time it goes to code FF and nothing else.  Fans run and the all lights on the motherboard light up...the PCU lights are on as well. (all 4) 
    I've tried every solution I've read on this board and whatever google could find for me....my questions is (sorry for long story); should I just replace my PCU and motherboard as I messed it up with the arctic 5?   
    Thanks for any insight!

    Don't have the spare parts or I would have done that.....do computer shops willingly let you test out pieces you bring in to their shops?  If there was an issue with the motherboard could it fry the new pcu installed?

  • MSI 890FXA-GD70 | ATI/AMD Downloads | Advice needed on a few things

    Hi
    I have a few questions to which someone would probably know off-hand the answers to, so here goes:
    1. I  purchased the MSI 890FXA-GD70 along with an AMD Phenom X6 1090T BE CPU and need some recommendations on  which 8GB (2 x 4) memory kit to purchase. This will be used with a 64 bit OS (Win 7/Linux) and would like to slightly overclock the memory (IF NEEDED) to reach a CPU speed of 4.5GHz. I would prefer Patriot, Corsair or Gskill DDR3 10666 or higher...whatever would do the job.
    2. This question involves downloading and installing the Catylist drivers for the motherboard. I DO NOT use an ATI/AMD GPU, but rather a nVidia 580 Reference board, so I am under the assumption that I DO NOT need to download any of the catalyst drivers EXCEPT the following:
    AHCI
    SB Driver
    RAID
    Those are directly related to everything BUT the GPU...if I am wrong, please correct me. For the following components, I usually go to the individual manufactures web-site to download drivers:
    RealTek LAN: RTL-8111DL PCI-E LAN Driver - v7.034 - 2010-DEC-22
    IEEE 1394: From VIA - VT6315N
    Realtek Audio: From Realtek ALC889/ALC892
    USB 3.0: From NEC
    I have not yet installed the mobo yet as I am awaiting for memory suggestions, thus I am grabbing all the absolute latest drivers for my system beforehand.
    I just downloaded the RTM SP1 for Win 7 64 file and addition to that, wish to merge (slipstream) the above drivers into the Win 7 OEM DVD so I have everything ready to go.
    3. In regards to AHCI, do I or can I use that with a fresh install of Win 7 or is AHCI reserved for those with SSD's ?  I know I can use AHCI via Linux which I do on several other boxes, however, I am not sure about Windows 7 64.
    I suppose that wraps it up. All this is replacing my DFI LanParty 790FXB-M2RSH board in which I fell in love with, however, DFI is not supporting/making that line of boards again, so my choice was between MSI and Gigabyte. Obviously, you can tell who won.
    If there is anything I should be 'prepaired' for (e.g. bugs, troubles, etc.) feel free to post the information.
    Thank You Very Much

    some recommendations on  which 8GB (2 x 4) memory kit to purchase
    The following kit is in use by some of the forum members and it performs exemplary in all instances. Although being a 1333 it will OC to 1600 at 1,5V. The link is for the UK store, but they are available through the Crucial US store as well.  http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/mpartspecs.aspx?mtbpoid=930A546EA5CA7304

    This question involves downloading and installing the Catylist drivers for the motherboard
    Your analysis is quite correct. Insert your GPU card before your windows installation. Once the installation is complete you can then install the latest NVidia drivers, or start with the ones that shipped with your GPU.

    If there is anything I should be 'prepaired' for
    Initially start with only one mem module, single optical drive, single HDD and GPU card. Ideally do ar barebones build outside the case on a non-conducting surface. Get everything up and running, and then transfer everything to the case. Test if all is still normal, and then start to add the other copmponents, ie. 2nd mem module, HDDs, etc.

  • My 890FXA-GD70 FF story

    890FXA-GD70 (used via eBay; unboxing seemed as if new)
    all new:
    AMD Sempron 145 CPU
    Corsair AX1200 PSU
    Corsair CMX4GX3M1A1333C9 1x4G DDR3 1333MHz PC3-10666
    ATI Radeon HD 5970 GDU
    Seagate Barracuda 7200 500 GB SATA ST500DM002
    The board came with BIOS 1.9; I M-flashed it to 1.C (yes, I know M-flash is deprecated here, but I have no OS CD/DVD, only an OS USB and USB was not a boot option with 1.9; and I had the FF problem before the M-flash).
    The unit consistently fails to boot, with no display output and FF in the debug LEDs, under the following conditions; in all instances, PSU 1/0 switch is in the 1 (on) position and power is controlled via the mainboard Power button: brief touch for on, extended touch for off:
    --cold power-on;
    --power-on within 2-5 minutes of system shut-down (from within OS) or power-off (Power button).
    The unit starts up OK
    --if left in the "FF" state for at least 2-5 minutes, then powered off via the onboard Power button, then immediately powered on via that button;
    --if system restarted from within OS.
    Note that if the system is shut down via OS command and then immediately after the board goes dark and fans stop power is re-applied, it will go into and remain in "FF" mode.  This is why I don't think it's a temperature issue.
    I have many times checked CPU and power connecter seatings, reset CMOS, checked RAM seating, moved RAM to DIMM slot 4 (as a test; its "home" is slot 1 nearest CPU).
    When the system does start up OK, there are no apparent problems and it will stay up "forever."  The OS is Ubuntu 10.04.
    I have reviewed all 11 threads that forum search returned for this board with both terms "890FXA-GD70" and "FF"; almost all end with advice to RMA the board, although there are a few success stories; one that I recall was via RAM stick replacement.  (I have new Kingston 2x2G RAM arriving tomorrow.)

    Quote from: Fredrik on 15-December-11, 21:03:31
    Okey, then try please setting the memory speed down. I do believe you have bad talk between processor and memory. The processor may be the bad part, but more common are bad memory sticks.
    I looked at the manual with particular attention to "Advance [sic] DRAM Configuration", but I still don't know which BIOS setting that is.
    P.S.  I have new Kingston RAM, 2x2G, arriving later today; Kingston's web site says its compatible with this mainboard.

  • Problem with 890fxa-gd70 and temps (what the heck is going on?)

    System Spec:
    Antec Nine-hundred
    890FXA-GD70 bios 1.6
    AMD 6x 1055t @ 3.5ghz (but prob happened even at stock speeds)
    Corsair H50 - (push : shroud : radiator : pull ) 26c / 42c (maybe???)
    2x 4gb G.Skill Ripjaw DDR3 1600
    2x Seagate Momentus XT in RAID0
    BFG GTX275oc
    Muskin 550w PSU
    The digital temp readout on the mobo says one temp, and various monitoring programs say different temps (when they say anything at all...)
    Is this a known bug?  I've had time when Core Temp said my cpu was running at 12c.  Do I have a defective temp sensor on the mobo, or CPU?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Glendor...

    And the REALLY wierd part is that the problem just went away over the weekend...  Go Figure!
    Didn't do anything, didn't change anything, just logged into the monitoring apps to write down some settings and noticed the Temps are registering, and show a remarkable similarity.  The only one that is still slightly wierd is the TMPIN2 that still shows a 63-65c reading.  Wish I knew what that was...

  • What could cause "2A" code on 890FXA-GD70 mainboard?

    My MSI 890FXA-GD70 now stalls at the point where it displays the code "2A."  Can someone describe the possible cause(s) of the mainboard stalling at "2A"?
    I even contacted MSI and received a refurbished mainboard, which I installed this weekend but it presents the same error.
    I observe that all other lights and all fans appear to be working just fine, but I never see any video at any point (no MSI splash screen, no BIOS, etc.) during the brief boot process before it reaches the "2A" display.
    I have tried two different PCI-Express video cards and neither one changed the mainboard's behavior of stalling at "2A."
    My computer worked flawlessly for nearly three years before experiencing this problem.
    Here are my PC's components:
       * Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64-bit 1-Pack for System Builders - OEM
       * SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
       * Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT51264BA1339
       * Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Desktop Memory Model CT2KIT51264BA1339

       * CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
       * MSI 890FXA-GD70 AM3 AMD 890FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
       * Cooler Master Hyper N520 Mirror Finished Copper Base Aluminum Fins 5 Heatpipes CPU Cooler
       * AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz 6 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor HDT90ZFBGRBOX
       * COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
       * XFX HD-567X-ZNF3 Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
    I also tried swapping out the XFX video card listed above with the following, purchased new:
       * SAPPHIRE 100358L Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 CrossFireX Support Video Card
    In addition, I tried installing both video cards in different PCI-E slots on the mainboard, in case one of the PCI-E slots has gone bad.  (I even tried booting without any video card, and did get a different code, but I can't remember what it was.)
    I tried all of the troubleshooting steps described in prior threads related to the "2A" code, such as:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145187.0
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=151534.0
    That includes swapping out RAM sticks, including one at a time.
    And I also dutifully followed all of the suggestions offered by an MSI technician by telephone.
    I even plugged in different keyboards (PS/2 and USB), different mice, etc.  (Grasping for anything that might present a different mainboard code at this point!)  But nothing makes a difference.
    Any other ideas?
    Should I just request of MSI a new RMA# to get yet another refurbished mainboard?  (The MSI tech I spoke to previously about this "2A" code seemed convinced it was a defective mainboard when he authorized the first RMA.)
    Or should I just keep buying new video cards until I install one that works?  (I only have one desktop PC with PCI-E slots, my other active desktop PC uses AGP.  So I can't verify that the video card works in a different PC; I can only trust that buying a new, highly-rated video card didn't result in the bad luck of getting one that was DOA ... but I suppose theoretically that's possible, however unlikely.)
    Thanks!

    I'm still unable to get past this code "2A" stall.  Can anyone help?
    Among the troubleshooting steps I've tried since my February 24 post, none of which made any difference/improvement in the stalling at "2A":
    Unplugged all SATA drives and power connections to those drives (2 hard drives and 1 CD/DVD drive) and tried to reboot.  Result = stuck on "2A"
    Unplugged all external peripherals (e.g., mouse, keyboard, ethernet, etc.) and tried to reboot.  Result - stuck on "2A"
    Unplugged all external peripherals and all SATA drives and tried to reboot.  Result - stuck on "2A"
    Unplugged all front panel connections - except the connection to enable the power button needed to reboot the system - and tried to reboot.  Result - stuck on "2A"
    Disconnected all power supply connections, except the CD/DVD drive (to put a small load on the power supply), and tested out the power supply with a volt meter (multimeter).  Result = 100% of the molex, 24-pin, and other power supply wires are delivering the expected volts.
    Are there any MSI representatives available who can provide more detailed information about what the "2A" code indicates?
    I found the following information about code "2A," but I'm not sure whether it's applicable for my specific MSI mainboard, on a PDF provided by American Megatrends (BIOS company) titled "AMIBIOS8 Check Point and Beep Code List" from 1988:
    Quote
    Initialize different buses and perform the following functions: Reset, Detect, and Disable (function 0); Static Device Initialization (function 1); Boot Output Device Initialization (function 2). Function 0 disables all device nodes, PCI devices, and PnP ISA cards. It also assigns PCI bus numbers. Function 1 initializes all static devices that include manual configured onboard peripherals, memory and I/O decode windows in PCI-PCI bridges, and noncompliant PCI devices. Static resources are also reserved. Function 2 searches for and initializes any PnP, PCI, or AGP video devices.
    Thanks!
