890GXM-G65 PS/2 Keyboard

I recently bought the MSI 890GXM-G65 along with a 1055T. Currently my bios is v1.4 and my system is working fine. However, my board will not recognize my PS/2 keyboard. At first I thought it was a problem with my wireless keyboard but testing it with a wired keyboard results in a nonfunctional keyboard. Using my wireless keyboard with USB works fine but the board will not recognize input from the USB keyboard at bootup; that is, I cannot enter the BIOS. Booting with a PS/2 keyboard results in a nonfunctional keyboard even after Windows loads.
Any idea what might be the problem other than simply a bad motherboard? The PS/2 keyboards lights do flash once when the system boots.

Silly little thing, but PS2 keyboards are only to be attached when there is no power in the system. While USB things really are to be attached when well into Windows.
Please enter Device Manager to have a look if there are half-way installed keyboards and mice, etc.
About your BIOS thing, something and probably the processor is likely not recognised. 1.6 update is for 6-core's.
About your Windows repair issue I can't quite say, but start with above and the rest might follow.
I guess I'm simply not understanding what I should do.
First you said that PS2 keyboards should be attached before powering on the system. I have been doing this but the motherboard still does not recognize it. Likewise, when Windows starts with only the PS2 keyboard, the keyboard is not functional and I cannot enter a password to login to Windows.
Then you said that USB peripherals should be attached when Windows has already booted. If I wait until Windows loads to my login screen and then connect my USB keyboard, it works perfectly and I am able to login. However, leaving it plugged in while booting results in the same thing.
If I connect the PS2 keyboard before powering on, wait until Windows loads, then connect the USB keyboard (to enter my password), and check device manager, I only see my USB keyboard (HID Keyboard Device).
As far as the BIOS goes, I just used Liveupdate to update to 1.6. However, I am still having the same problems.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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 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.

    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 front panel - AC' 97 or HD audio?

    Hello, folks. I bought an 890GXM-G65 and I am having a doubt regarding the installation. The audio connector from the front panel splits in two. One connector reads “AC’ 97” and the other “HD Audio”. My motherboard manual says nothing about which one should I use to plug into the JAUD1.
    I have been researching and looks like AC’ 97 is from AMD boards and HD audio is from Intel boards. Is that correct? Should then I use the connector AC’ 97?
    I appreciate any help!
    Cheers,

  • 890GXM-G65

    Good day everyone.
    I'm looking for a place to buy a single 890GXM-G65 from that ships to the Netherlands. I have looked around but can't find anything.
    Hans

    If you are still looking for one, cybertronpc is the only place I could find one retail, although pricey.  It works great though, and 3 year warranty if retail.  No warranty if bought used or on ebay or something like that.  I had ordered at 3 other places only for them to get canceled, despite them saying they were in stock.  I just bought it a little over a month ago and they only had about 10 left then.  Could be out. 
    http://www.cybertronpc.com/Itemdesc~ic~MBD-MSI-890GXMA~Group~BUSINESS~Cat~COMPONENTS.htm
    Not sure if MSI will support the board though, only AM3+ compatable board that didnt get a bios update for Vishera, although Vishera CPUs work.  My FX-6300 wont run any faster than 1600 RAM in dual channel.  It only supports up to 1866 in single channel and doesnt like any overclock of the FSB or RAM.   I have tight timings at 1600 though, CL7. 
    Perhaps a bios update would make it more overclocking friendly, as even though it allows 2400mhz NB frequnecy, windows wont show 2400mhz, 2000mhz no matter what I change in the bios.  Maybe something else that needs the bios update for.

  • 890GXM-G65 alarm

    Can someone tell me what the high-pitched alarm noise is the 890GXM-G65?
    It's coming on in a new game I'm trying to play, but doesn't seem to be temperature related (core temp hasn't exceed 41 degrees, according to AMD OverDrive & SpeedFan) and motherboard temperature seems quite low too.  What is the alarm for? 

    Quote from: Tenoq on 17-October-10, 18:42:42
    Appears to be the motherboard.  Do they have an audible alarm?  The alarm is just a constant high-pitched whine and has only started happening under severe load.  I did hear it briefly once before running LinX... but not since. 
    It's definitely not VGA.  VGA temp is very low thanks to an aftermarket cooler. 
    Quote
    It's definitely not VGA.  VGA temp is very low thanks to an aftermarket cooler. 
    Temp doesn't matter, as said before: either test with another VGA or with another PSU.
    This noise typically comes from standard choke:
    This kind of conventional choke has one major disadvantage: high-frequency-noise. When the GPU needs a lot of electricity, the coil and metal stick will be under full loading so that the generated magnetic force will cause mutual interference resulting in vibration. The vibration speed is extremely high and therefore causes high-frequency noise. The noise level depends on the loading and can vary from for humans inaudible 10 dB to unbearable 30 dB.
    In contrast, a solid state choke’s esign is entirely different. It still has a coil inside but is one solid, massive body where the coil is buried in iron, similar toa building where concrete encloses the steel beams. No matter how high the current, solid state chokes won’t vibrate and therefore won’t emit annoying noise. In comparison with traditional chokes, SSC is much more stable and have a higher anti-surge capacity

  • Only 12 GB RAM showing in BIOS of 890GXM-G65 when 16 GB RAM is installed

    Just added 2 x 4 GM RAM of the identical type as the original 2 x 4 GB to my son's PC, motherboard 890GXM-G65.
    Even after a BIOS flash to the latest version, the BIOS still only recognizes 12 GB RAM but Windows 8 confirms 16 GB is installed, with only 12 GB available.
    Anyone have any suggestions on this one, to unlock/enable the additional RAM?  Tried many things to no avail.

     can be dead ram or dead slot or may be corrosion or dirty slot connector, try to find contact cleaner in electronic store to clean the slot ( without power of course )

    Try physically inspecting the processor for any missing or bent pins.  If you're going to flash the BIOS, make sure to do it with the forum's USB flashing tool.  It has a 100% success rate and everybody that has used it (including myself) swear by it.
