890GXM-G65 Boot issue (onboard video?)

Well i was going to upgrade my computer with this mobo and a new video card and ofc new ram and cpu since i was still on ddr2 and dual core. well i go to put everything together and at first when i had the video card in there it was booting up fine with one beep every time it showed the bios thing. The first problem was though that after the post screen happened it sat there so long at the black screen with blinking cursor before going into the windows 7 setup, the cd drive kept spinning up in bursts during that long wait. And also the bios was only recognizing half the memory when i put them in slot 1 and 2 so now in slot 1 and 3 they are always recognized. Then after i got into the gui part of the w7 setup about halfway through it would either freeze or restart (mostly restart) but not part of the expected restarts that the windows installation does. So i took out the video card thinking maybe that was the cause and tried to just use the onboard video. Now when i try to boot it up all the fans start spinning, cd rom spins up but no signal is ever sent to the monitor like it was unplugged, and also i dont see any activity from the hdd based on the front led and also the keyboard never lights up (blue backlit keys) and mouse laser never comes on. I did get a chance to run memtest for a few passes and no errors, so not really sure what to do now. anyone experience something similar?
Motherboard: MSI 890GXM-G65
Hdd: Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2 2.5" 64GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive
cpu: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W
ram: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
psu: 700w coolmax psu (the same psu used in the last system so i know its not bad, maybe under rated?)
and actually got a cmos checksum bad error one of the last times i was able to boot up

well apparently it seems as if that might have been part of the issue, but it still wasnt fully resolved. I actually did have a 7200 1TB seagate drive in there that was plugged in to the psu but not connected via sata because i didnt want to make the mistake of wiping it. i unplugged the power from it and it booted up to the bios screen where ( i know i had previously set it to internal video after i took out the card ) it read pcie so then i changed that, rebooted and proceeded to install windows 7 ultimate.
so i sucessfully install it all the way through but now it freezes every so often and actually got a bsod it memory dumped and restarted. it just randomly restarts like when i try to get my experience rating, and other stuff. i was able to install all the latest drivers and everything so im not exactly sure whats going on here.. could it be the PSU? or could it have something to do with my ram not being compatable or not being ran at the right voltage or other setting?
I did a few different PSU calculators and none of them even came close to needing 700 w and i even selected 2 physical cpus just to see if that would push it over.. and i also ran my old system with no probs on it although it was only a dual core ddr2.
I also have a front panel sound blaster x-fi plugged in
Also the cpu temp is 30-34c every time i check in bios, so i dont think its a heat prob

890GXM-G65 Ram issues

Hey guys, I know there are a lot of ram posts here already and many more on the web but I have spent the last 3 days reading them and trying to follow their guides and nothing has worked for me so I want to see if there is anyone that can help me for my specific problem....
Ok I built a new system with the 890GXM-G65 mobo and an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T processor. I am also installing a pair of G.Skill F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM memory sticks (I know these are designed for the Intel's but read many people using them for the AMD after changing the timings and loving the performance), I pulled my old 1TB hard drive out my other system to use in this one which already has Windows XP Pro installed.
My problem is that the pc reboots after the windows loading screen. I have tried changing the timings in the "Advanced DRAM Configuation" in the CMOS (7-7-7-24, 7-8-7-24, 8-8-8-24, 9-9-9-24) and not had any improvements, I have tried using the OC Genie Lite to auto find the correct settings, I have changed DRAM voltages (1.5-1.65) and NB Voltage (1.3-1.35) I also have changed the FSB/DRAM Ratio from 1:3.33 to 1:4 to change from 1333 to 1600 with no change as well.
I am able to log into Windows safe mode, in fact at first I thought it was a driver issue and loaded all the drivers in safe mode already.
Another issue I see and dont understand is in the "Memory-Z" in the CMOS I never see any of the memory settings change even though I set them in the Advance config, is this supposed to change?
Any help would be much appreciated, I am pretty sure its a memory issue from what I have seen on the web, I bought the memory from newegg.com and have a short time left that I could probably swap them out for something different if that is what I have to do, but I would really like to make these work.
Thanks guys.

Download and install memtest86+ on a usb drive and boot from that. Do a 24hr memory test to tell you if the ram+cpu is good or not.
After that if you don't want to mess with your original drive, install XP on a spare drive and see if it's stable.
I'm using G.Skill Ripjaws with my 1055t and it's been stable so far.

My other mainboard which my hard drive is from is a MSI 975X Platinum. A rep from G. Skill told me to test each memory individually and if I still have problems to replace the memory. Should I just swap them out or should I change brands? OCZ is the only company that is tested on the MSI site, should I just grab some of those?

890GXM-G65 keyboard issues

Before I go over specs, I am having the EXACT same problem described in this thread. The OP in that thread is correct in that the bios does NOT stop at the F1/F2 prompt after a CMOS clear -- it pauses for about 1 second then continues on its way. Subsequent reboots simply end up on a failed boot page.
My config: 890GXM-G65 main board with bios revision 1.8, AMD Phenom II X6 1090T cpu, 16G ram (posts), 675W power supply (Thermaltake).
All peripherals are disconnected from the system. I cannot get a PS/2 keyboard to work nor a USB keyboard in any port. I have run into this in the past on certain servers with legacy keyboard support and one could get around the problem by plugging in BOTH a usb and ps/2 keyboard but that is not working in this case.
A PS/2 keyboard will light all three (caps/num/scroll) on power on but keyboard does not work and once post is complete all three are off and non-toggleable. A USB keyboard lights up num-lock on power up or hot-plug and it stays lit. No input works from this keyboard either. I have no OS installed and no bootable media connected so I continually end up at the no boot media screen which says to press a key. On this screen I cannot press a key or ctl-alt-del with any results.
Since the original thread I referenced above was never "completed" with a fix I'm hoping we can document it here (and I can have a working system)

Well, that didn't take long to figure out, my next troubleshooting step got it.
Apparently to have the keyboard active during post (to get into bios) you have to have ONE bootable device connected to the system. I hooked up the DVD drive and the keyboard became functional. Disconnecting the DVD returns the keyboard to the previously non-functional state on reboots/power ups.

MSI 890GXM-G65 Thuban Issues

Hi,
Sorry if I post this in the wrong section.
I've been using v1.0 original bios for MSI 890GXM-G65 board without any problems.
Recently I tried updating to v1.2 to enable support for X6 1055T as stated in the link below.
My cpu code is HDT55TFBK6DGR which is the 125W version and requires v1.2 bios.
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=2012&maincat_no=1#menu
I am unable to turn off Cool'n'Quiet feature for the Thuban core.
Enabling or disabling the setting in BIOS has no effect at all.
Multipliers keep dropping to x4 from the stock x14.
I also could not find any setting in BIOS to switch off Turbo Core.
I posted the issues in detail here:
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showpost.php?p=45130922&postcount=66
I found out that the MSI 790FX-GD70 also do not have such a feature to disable Turbo Core.
In comparison, the Biostar TA890GXE has that setting in its BIOS so this is not a specific issue for 890G-based boards.
Lastly, I could not get CPU-Z (or any other programs for that matter) to display accurate readings of the cpu vcore (set in BIOS).
Will MSI be releasing a new BIOS soon to fix these issues ?
Thanks.

Ah, that explains it. How's that Thuban CPU running at stock levels compared to other Quad-cores (if you have had any)?
Actually that hardwarezone link in my first post goes to my mini review of the X6 1055T.
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=2731901
Unfortunately I only have synthetic benchmarks to compare the results with.
This is my very FIRST phenom chip from AMD.
The only quad I ever tried was the Intel Q6600 (used for 1-mth) before sticking to 2-core processors ever since. LOL!

I don't see a bios update yet for the 790FX-GD70. This mb I am running is my brothers...haha. I am waiting for the 890FX-GD70.
One of our local overclocker "ridney" is using the X6 1055T on MSI 790FX-GD70 with the latest 1.11b1 bios.
He has the same cpu batch as me but he is on water. I'm not willing to go >1.52V on air for this hexacore chip (not yet anyway).
He had posted all his OC'ing @ http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=249606
The screenshot posted (towards bottom of page) @ https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=136443.0 was his!!
The reason I posted my inquiry here is because I thought there would be newer (beta) bios for the 890GXM-G65 which MAY allow me to disable turbo core.

No video on boot from onboard video - video from AGP is scambled

I just installed a K7N2GM with athlon 2600 and had no problems at first. However after windows install attempt my computer started beeping like the i had no ram installed. I reseated the ram, beeping stopped, but no onboard video. I tried installing a videocard into my AGP slot, which seemed to work at first but video is blotchy and scrambled after a few minutes. I'd like to get the onboard video to work first but can't seem to - even tried resetting CMOS.... no dice. any suggestions here?

I assembled the entire system and then put the Windows 8 disk in the optical drive. Powered up the system and windows started to load. Got a blue screen showing the Error 0xc00000e9 with a possible I/O for the hard drive. checked all connections and tried again with the same result. Powered down the system and tried a different SATA port. Got the same result. Tried all of the SATA ports and still the same thing. Tried a Windows 7 Pro disk and got the same result. Suspected a bad cable, swapped it and same result. Suspected a DOA HDD, put in a new HDD, this time a Seagate 1TB SATA drive and got the same result.
I did some research to see if anyone else was having the same problems as me. Followed a thread on another site that mentioned re-flashing the BIOS and the step they received from Tech Support. I downloaded the latest BIOS from the MSI website, installed in on a FAT32 USB stick and flashed the BIOS with the M-Flash utility. During the flashing, the system rebooted and gave me a black screen. Here are the steps that the site listed:
1. Tech Support originally had me attempt to clear the CMOS. When this failed to work, he had me attempt to flash the bios.
2. Downloaded latest version of BIOS to usb flash drive (The drive was FAT32). Comes in a zip file. Unzip, and only needed the E7751IMS.A50 in the root directory of the flash drive.
3. Plug in flash drive to back panel connector while computer was OFF.
4. Flip the multi-bios switch to the second functioning bios.
5. Once into the bios, flip the switch to the primary bios.
6. Run the m-flash.
7. Once completed flashing, it rebooted twice before powering on.
8. Computer now runs fine.
Now when the system starts up, I get a black screen. There are different codes that post on the MB during to boot process with the BIOS switch in the A position Code 62, Code CA, Code A2. After A2 post on the MB, It detected a change in the system and asked me to hit F1 to enter setup. I hit F1 and then in went to another screen, where I hit F1 again to enter Setup again, but it wouldn't let me select F1. Then the system rebooted, gave the same codes but stopped at A2. I also have a an A2 on a black screen in the lower right hand corner, and no options listed. It sat there for approximately 2 minutes then shutdown. I Restarted and got Code 9d but the screen showed CA in the lower right. Then system shutdown again after about 1 minute.
Moved the switch to Position B and powered up got Code 62 and a black screen with a cursor in the top left. No other info displayed. System shutdown after about 1 minute. I restarted the system again and got this: Code 72, rebooted on its own after 10 Seconds. Code 55, rebooted on its own after 10 Seconds. Code 49, rebooted on its own after 20 Seconds. Code b6, system shut down.
Moved the switch back to Position A and restarted got these codes: Code 72, rebooted on its own after 10 Seconds. Code 56, rebooted on its own after 10 Seconds. Code 4F, then system shutdown.
I have tried clearing the CMOS many times and get the same results.
Any thoughts?

Just to be clear, you are unable to boot from either bios now?
Have you tried this with only a single stick of ram installed into DIMM 2, onboard vga, psu, cpu and cooler?

MSI K9N2 Plat - Weird boot issue

When I hit the power button on my pc, fans power up, bios shows up on monitor, and I can hear drives spinning. After about 2 seconds, everything will stop (like it lost power or was reset), then after a second, it will reinitialize everything (fans start spinning, etc. - I call this the "2 boot") Then it will either bootup normally or bootup without video - the monitor never "wakes up" and the light on the monitor is amber. It seems like the pc stays up and running though. When the latter happens, I do a reset and it works fine without the "2 boot" process occurring. I can game for hours fine and my temps are great when it boots up and after playing BC2 for two hours. Sometimes this is every bootup, sometimes not as often.
It definitely seems hardware related but I'm not sure if this is the PS, Video card, memory or even the board itself. I don't have extra parts or another PC to try these out in. Any suggestions for narrowing this down?
My thoughts for the memory are to run memtest, but I'm not sure how to test the mobo, video, PS. Is this something in the bios? Some setting I need to check?
Someone suggested there might be an auto voltage adjustment? When I built the rig, I believe I told it to just use optimized defaults. Since then, no changes to bios.

Didn't want to bump an old post.
Symptoms: (maybe 3-5 times/10 boots)
1. Hit power button on case
2. Fans spin, lights come on, no post
3. PC shuts off
4. PC turns on
5. PC either:
5a. Boots up fine, no problems
5b. no post, reset fixes this
Symptoms: (maybe 1/10 boots)
1. Hit power button
2. Fans spin, lights come on no post
3. Reset fixes this
Troubleshooting:
1. Set bios to load fail safe - still have the problem
2. Removed PCI-E GPU and booted off onboard video - still had the problem
3. Did the paperclip test with the PSU with 3 x 120mm fans, 1 x 200 mm fan, and one floppy. Tested fine with 10 tests
4. Removed motherboard and ensured nothing was touching case, verified standoffs - same problems
5. Redid/reseated all connections/cables except CPU
6. Ran memtest for 4 hours - no problems with RAM
Besides hardware, my only other thought was a bios update. I do have a Zalman CNPS 9700 CPU Cooler and perhaps I damaged the CPU when installing. I think I tossed the OEM fan so I can't test with that.

At this point, I believe the problem is either the mother board or cpu. Does anyone have any other suggestions on testing or if I'm not diagnosing this properly/headed in the wrong direction?
Thanks for any and all help.

890GXM-G65 a few issues...

Hey guys,
So here are the issues Im having with this board.
Im running a system that I have put together over the last 2 years, its kind of transitioned from platform to platform...
amd x2 550 BE unlocks fine to x4 @ 3.6ghz (8 hours prime stable..)
890GXM-G65
G.SKill Ripjaws 1600 CL7
Corsair HX850
MSI GTX465 GE unlocked to GTX 470
P180 mini (all fan ports filled)
Corsair H50 CPU cooled with push pull S-Flex fans
I have used the ram, GPU and PSU all before in a few builds and they check out fine, the system seems to run load stable using furmark, PCmark, OCCT and Prime95.
First off this board refuses to let me change 60% of my voltages from auto? is there a trick to allow you to set your own voltage? its locked at 1.325 right now which is what auto is setting it at. I can change DRAM, NB and SB voltages but that is all, and even then if I choose a some voltages that way it will default back to auto.. (example if I set DRAM to 1.6 it goes to auto but 1.7 will stick.) Obviously for overclocking this is far from ideal.. I know this system has lots of overhead left in it but I cant touch it without unlocking the voltages.
Next up I keep getting random BSODs, code 124, 20, 50, and 1... I ran memtest and it seemed fine, when I prime I usually run a couple 8 hour sessions of blend and it seems fine, and this ram was rock stable before. The BSOD only seems to happen for the most part when the system is idle, over the past 2 months ive had it BSOD on me while playing a game once only. This cant be temp related as I monitor temps and they are all well within safe specs, CPU never goes over 52c under load, motherboard never peaks over 45c, video card runs very cool and I have a pretty agressive fan profile set up for it. When I try and boot with the ram in 2/3 slots instead of 0/1 it refuses to boot no matter what I do. Ram is also being run underclocked (1450 CL9...) due to having to lower clocks on the CPU to try and stablize... Im honestly ready to drop this platform and go back to the i3 I was using before, was worlds more stable and much easier to hold at 4.2ghz.

And then I read the sticky about changing the voltages... DOH!, problem would be that im running the sidewinder x6 sans number pad to save on keyboard tray space or else I might have figured it out...
Will have to test a few things to determin if that will help fix my BSOD.

got everything up and running mine came with bios ver 1.6 used m-flash to flash to ver 1.8 had no problems only thing i don't like is the lan wont run at 1gbps to my netgear wnce2001 even if i select 1gb full it wont even switch from 100mb.
This is a different issue ,you should open another thread.
Anyway you can t get 1000M if the switch in the router can t do 1000.
Is the router gigabit on the LAN ports?The router will limit you.

890gxm-g65 raid0 driver issue??

I recently built a new system and it has been up and running for a few months now and I decided to upgrade the boot drive to some ssds in a raid 0 configuration. I figured out how to setup the raid configuration in bios just fine with the pdf manual that is online, however when I attempt to install windows 7 ultimate 64bit sp1, it will not recognize the ATI_SB8xx_RAID_764_mb drivers. But for some reason it will recognize the 32bit raid drivers.
Here is my system setup:
msi 890gxm-g65 bios 1.8
amd phenomII x4 955 black edition
16 gb ddr3 g.skill ripjaws 1333 (PC3 10666)
SeaSonic X Series X650 Gold psu
wd green 750gb WD7500AARS (old boot drive, hopefully soon to be storage drive)
corsair force series sata 3 60 gb ssd CSSD-F60GB3-BK (x2 in raid 0)
I attempted to correct this issue by using F8 while windows 7 is booting to disable driver signature enforcement and received the same result. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=139814.0
I attempted to find more update ahcix64s driver but there are none to be found (out of desperation I tried to use them anyway, I even tried to integrate them into the os disc using rt 7 lite). The 64 bit driver does seem to install fine in my current running windows 7 environment (on the 750gb wd drive), just not during installation with the raid 0 drives.
I read on a few other forums that with a different motherboard they had a similar issue with only the 32 bit drivers being recognized, and could install the 32 bit version of windows 7, which seems like a step backwards. In addition I found someone in the same boat who got around the issue by installing vista 64 bit, then upgrading, which I do not care to do.
I have not attempted to update or downgrade the bios version. (I wanted a second opinion before messing around with that, as I understand it can be unforgiving should something go wrong.). in addition opening a command prompt window during the os installation proces and entering bcdedit -set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS into command prompt in setup does nothing. (i found another post where the "-" is a "/" and that nets the same result) http://forums.techarena.in/motherboard-processor-ram/1398064.htm
Thanks in advance for your help!

when I attempted installation I have been unplugging the current boot drive. The first screen I am given after selecting the us / english / keyboard stuff and clicking the "install now" is the screen asking for drivers.
I know that windows must be recognizing the raid drives because I could continue installation but only if I use the 32 bit drivers and corresponding os version.

890GXM-G65 RAID 5 Issues (SB850)

Hi all
Hopefully you guys can help me, I am hours and hours into this by now. My 890GXM-G65 does not want to cooperate with me to make a 3x4TB RAID 5 array using Seagate ST4000DM000 HDDs. I can get it to build the array and it will show up in windows/RAIDXpert, I am able to do a quick format and it shows up in explorer. So far so good. Start to transfer data and within ~1 min RAIDXpert tells me the array went critical or it will BSOD with AHCIx64.sys as the error and DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. If I reboot the drive on port 3 is now shown as a single disk but it is there again and I can re-create the array. RAIDXpert will show port 3 as disconnected if it does not BSOD and will re-appear after a reboot, but as a single disk just like when it does BSOD.
Interestingly if I delete the Logical Drive and reboot, the single disk will come up as a failed array, as if it somehow got split off into its own Logical Drive, but it will not show as an LD when the main 2 disk part still exists.
I have tried switching the drive around to isolate if it is a particular drive, but no matter what drive is connected it is always port 3 that is lost.
I have tried different cables, no luck.
I have tried replacing the motherboard, no luck (yes I actually have a spare board, lol).
I have even tried replacing the CPU as this one is somewhat old and abused, no luck.
I have re-installed windows, no luck.
I have tried a different PSU, no luck
I have tried different RAM, no luck
When I switch the controller to AHCI mode in the BIOS I am able to do a full format on each individual drive just fine so I believe the drives to be fine
In RAID mode trying to use as individual drives, when I begin to transfer data to the drive on port 3 the drive simply disappears until a reboot.
At this point I am completely confused, does the SB850 not support 4TB drives? Before the reinstall I tried with 3x 500GB drives and it would still crash the system, but it would not kick a drive out of the array as consistently. I have not had a BSOD since the windows reinstall however, only the RAIDXpert telling me the array failed.
Does anyone have any advice or ideas at all? I am completely baffled at this point to where I am looking at replacing the whole system or getting a RAID card, only issue is I only have the PCI slot free to put a card into.
Here is the entire spec list
Proc: AMD Phenom II x6 1090T
Mobo: MSI 890GXM-G65
RAM: 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1866

Yes there is a ton of stuff packed into a very small space.

Looks like I'm the only one with this issue
I did some experimenting, basically trying different SSD make/model but otherwise keeping setup identical. Instead of Kingston V300 I attached Samsung 840 Pro 120GB to this system hoping that it could be SSD-controller specific problem. Unfortunately nothing has changed - I still have grave issues with waking up from S3 sleep. Now I'm inclined to believe that this is the problem with RAID controller on motherboard rather than Kingston drive issue. Too bad, I like this motherboard but looks like I have to start thinking about replacing it with something else. Guess I would be looking at some other vendor/chipset then.

890GXM-G65 No onboard (realtek) analog sound

About a month ago I saved up enough of my precious dollars to upgrade my slow, single core computer into something a bit more passable for this day and age. The new computer is much better, but it is lacking something very important to me: sound.
I can't hear any audio. Windows, in all flavors, thinks the device is functional, while the Realtek control panel app swears up and down that I have not plugged anything into the back ports. I've talked to my dealer, friends, one online forum, and finally found my way here, a forum dedicated to MSI boards that I somehow didn't come across earlier or I would've come here straight away.
Well, without further ado, here are the specs:
890GXM-G65 MS-8642 BIOS 1.B0
AMD Athlon 2 X3 3.2Ghz
Crucial 2x2GB CT25664BA1339A
Antek25 650W +12V~38A, +5V~24A, +3.3V~24A
XP Pro SP3 x86 / Server 2003 R2 x64 / *cough* 7 x86
I have other hardware of course, but since I've been testing I've stripped it down to the bare essentials.
I also found a very similar thread (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=151266.0). It was resolved by putting in a different sound card, but that's not an option for me.
As I've said, I've tried to figure this out with the help of others for some time now.
Things I've tried:
* Tried multiple OSes, including to my chagrin Windows 7. I was going to try Delphi but the installer didn't like my setup, and well, this IS a gaming rig so it's not worth figuring out why.
* Tried multiple drivers, both new, old, MSI, Realtek, and on 7 the default drivers, across all of the OSes above.
* Tried jumping the front panel connector. Supposedly you don't have to anymore, but just in case I shorted 5-6 and 9-10 to no effect.
* Tried every combination of settings I could think of in the realtek manager, especially the one related to ignoring the front panel jack detection.
* Tried removing, reluctantly, the board from the case.
* Tried fresh install of 7 on the stripped down and removed board.
* Tried RMAing the board after everyone concluded that the board was bad. This was very painful. I was without any reasonable computing power for a week. To my great shock, this did not help and I am right back where I was last month.
Things I can't try:
* Testing the front panel audio (I don't have any such connector; JAUD1 is open)
* Testing the digital out (again, no such equipment)
Things that people always ask just in case (if there's a stupidly easy thing I've missed though go ahead and ask it--I sometimes miss stupidly easy things):
* Is the on-board sound enabled in the BIOS? Yes it is.
* Do the speakers work? Yep. Worked since the 90s, works in laptop today.
* On 7 did you switch it from digital out to analog out? Yes, sort've. The analog out options couldn't be selected normally, but I could select the headphones option if I disabled the front panel jack detection. Not having a front panel, I was not surprised to find that this didn't work (though the green volume bar was moving). A 'disable rear jack detection' setting would be very nice.
I am stumped, as is everyone else I've asked--we all thought the old board must have been defective but getting a new, equally incapable board seems to put that theory to rest. I'm well past the point where I'd normally write it off and use a spare sound card, but this board only has one PCI slot, and it is occupied. The only available slot is the second PCI-E 16 slot, and I don't think they make sound cards for that. And even if they did I really don't have the money to buy anything new; I've already sunk more than I budgeted for on this.
Any ideas?

Enable Digital IO.. is not under properties.. Control Panel/Sound/Double Click (to open) on your choice of 'playback devices'.. in this case 'the default out choice..Speakers and then under the 'Custom' Tab.. it is the Only check box or option under the 'Custom' Tab. Odds are it is unchecked but worth looking. I unhooked my Speakers and it was still there. Also without my speakers attached is the Configure Icon box.. but it is unavailable to open, unless the output choice (the Default out choice) is clicked on and highlighted. Then you can enter Configure.
We are both using Windows 7.. The question of your posted pictures is seen in the pictures. Lower picture shows 2ea Default.. Green Circle active as default. Your upper picture doesn't show Speakers as a selection, it shows a Headset. So my question was leading to a possible conflict of Default outputs. No I'm not drunk, but I am electronic capable.. poss that's a reason my explanation is seeming drunk..lol
My point is.. when setting your DEFAULT output choice... If you have your speakers 1/8" plugged into the Boards 'Green" jack. Have it that way only... no other speakers or headsets attached. Make the Speaker out choice under Control Panel/ Sound and under the Playback tab.. the only Default choice. Undo any second Default selection. That is the Output choice showing a Green Circle with a check mark inside it. That is what you are assigning as the audio out you are using. Just to see if there is a conflict. Again the posted lower picture that you show under the Sound box has 2 defaults.
You also have the Realtek HD Audio Manager shown. Possibly that is a conflict.. Is one set different than the other? You have 2 separate audio control programs. One is the Windows OS Sound control choice, and the other is your Realtek HD Audio Mamager. If you un-install the Realtek HD Audio Manager program, you still have the Windows 7 OS Sound controls. Both is just an option. You do want to always have your Windows Sound programs installed.. it controls a lot to include your Theme Sounds and more... Your Realtek HD Audio Manager is optional. If both are not set for defaults out, such as the exact same output selections... they will conflict.
You can always reinstall the Realtek Audio program. Since you have no sound and don't know if it is a board electrical problem.. as in a broken circuit. Use just one.. Windows one!! Then if you have sound from the Green jack input on the board... it will tell you that the board is infact OK. Then it all boils down to which program to use.
Fixing a problem is a task of the process of elimination. Make it simple to see if it will work.
Try again removing the Realtek HD Audio, optional program. Plug your speaker into the proper output. Make sure that under Sound and the playback tab.. speakers are default. That green circle. Highlight the Speaker choice. Click on Configure. and follow to configure. Double click on the Speaker selection. Go through all the tabs and make proper choices. Also on your desktop, on the bottom right open settings from the Speaker Icon next to the Time and Date. Volume is on and up, and the mixer setting also are up for volume. Now you are setup for speakers without out a secondary conflict of two programs and 2 defaults. If you have no sound after that... at least you know you finally have all the proper settings, and no conflicts.
Keep it simple and basic until you figure out your no sound woes. Still not working? Then it's time do figure out if you problem is software based or hardware based. Man, I hope you are following this.. I really am trying to help. I know problems can be so frustrating. I build and fix a lot of problems for Friends. No master but I do understand diagnostic processes.
I hope the next Post from you is that your possible conflicts are gone, and you have sound. If it is a conflict? Sure seems possible.

MSI 890GXM-G65 mother board help

Hi, need some major help. I just got a MSI 890GXM-G65 mother board / AMD Phenom II X6 processor. Installed it in the Antec Fusion Micro ATX case and the fans spin, seems like everything is powering but no video from the onboard video. I’m using a corsair vx 550 powersupply. No matter what I try I can get anything on the monitor. Is this a grounding issue? Powersupply not good enough? I just tried taking the memory out to see if it would beep and nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Here are the full stats on my pc:
AMD Phenom II X6 1055t, Windows 64 Ultimate
GSKILL 2x2GB F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ

XFX Radeon HD 5770 Compatible with 890GXM-G65?

Anyone have issues installing an XFX Radeon HD 5770 video card with the 890GXM-G65? Bought one and when I installed it, the fan was blowing but the card was extremely hot (smelled like something was melting). Also my monitor didn't recognize a signal so the screen was black. Returned that one, and although the second one was considerably cooler, nothing still appeared on screen. Is this a compatibility issue?

Sorry about that, here are my specs:
Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T
Mobo: MSI 890GXM-G65 bios v1.6
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333

2) Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
GPU: XFX Radeon 5770 1GB DDR5
