970A-G45 CPU BURNING UNDER BIOS

My CPU temp is jumping 60-65C from 35C under ONLY BIOS. Im using Win7 when system not on load temp around 35-40C, underload (playing BF3 multiplayer with high settings) 45-50C so there is no heat issues on normal use everything fine also my room has some heat issiues around 22-25C. I just updated bios from 1.3 to 1.4 than finally 1.5 2-3 days ago and i tried to check anything new on bios than i saw CPU temp getting higher so fast around 60C from 35C fan makes kinda tornada there with 5k rpm and disturbing noise after that i cleared fan put little Sunbeam Tuniq TX-2 but still same problem in bios. I didn't do any overclock i didn't use OC Genie 2 too. Everything on default or auto in bios. Also my core voltage in bios around 1.43 - 1.68 its not stable i read other posts about that people talking about Cool and Quiet option in bios but i couldnt find it Is there any solution?
So here is my system specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 3.4 Ghz with original heat sink fan
MOBO: MSI 970A-G45 (bios 1.5)
RAM: GEIL Enhance Corsa 8 GB DDR3 1600 Dual Kit
GPU: MSI R6850 Cyclone 1GB DDR5 PE/OC

badboy2k i agree with you, results are same with Akasa Venom in windows overload with prime96 max 53C in bios 53C too and i want to ask that that cooler is so heavy do you think it has some potential to hurt mainboard in future?
as long as its mounted properly with a good back plate then no it shouldnt damage the board at all! motherboards with a decent weight distrabuting plate at the back wont be damaged as there multi layer/ plyed boards and as such very strong typically capable of supporting a weight of 40-70 Pounds per square inch around the cpu socket! anyway manufacturers of aftermarket coolers know what the maximum mounting weight is and make a cooler below that limit!

MSI 970A-G45 will not complete POST

Every so often, out of the blue, the system won't boot up.
Hitting reset doesn't help, disconnecting the power and letting it sit doesn't help.
The system powers on, begins it's POST, but after initializing the drives (HDD light flashes, CD ROM light comes on, goes off) it cycles again (right about the time it should initialize the video, it seems to loop back to the beginning of the POST - so I don't get any POST codes on the screen when this happens). It cycles through, initializes the drives again, and then starts over. IF however I pull either stick of RAM, it then will get past this, and continue on with the post. I can shut the system off as soon as I see the keyboard lights flash, re-insert the RAM, power up, and it's all back to normal. Resetting the CMOS does the same thing, but if I pull a RAM stick, then I don't have to set up the CMOS again. I have tried other RAM, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Again, if it was the PSU, the board wouldn't "lock" in the looped state, and disconnecting all the drives would release it from any power induced failure if that was the issue, and as I posted before, disconnecting all the drives will not release the board from it's locked state. In my previous posts, I also stated that this failure happened before the system had all these drives in it. Another point, people have been underestimating power supplies for years - which is good for the manufacturers of high end power supplies, but bad news for our wallets. My power supply can support this system, plus about another 10 or more hard drives before things would get dodgy. This is something I have tested quite extensively since the late 80's when IBM PCs were still using 63W supplies, but everyone wanted a 150W in their "clones".
It should also be noted that the 5V and 12V rails are isolated from the voltages used by the processor and RAM. They aren't even connected to the same electrolytic capacitors.
in short, "If your car still rattles when the engine is off, the problem isn't the gas you are using!"
PS - thanks for the advice so far, but since it's happened with 2 different supplies and under much less load, we need to stop focusing on the power supply. For the record, I ran the numbers again, and under 60% load (which is triple the average load on this thing when not editing video) I could add 10 more high rpm SATA hard disks and still be drawing under 600W. Yes, hard disks draw a lot of short term power at spin up, but power supplies can supply well beyond their maximum rating for short periods of time, so it balances out!
While I am at it, I thought I'd let you all "meet the beast".

990FXA-GD65 & 970A-g45 Bios Question-HPC

I have 2 systems with pretty close to the same bios Feature. My question is a quick one, and I hope a simple one?
What is HPC-I know it stands for High Performance Computing-I know that it has to do with the throttling, under load.
What is the exact reason for this? Why was it added to the bios? Is this just for FX cpu's
Looking for a quick rundown.
When enabling in Bios-with everything on default-do you just enable? Do you need to turn anything off-C & Q? or do you just turn in on and go?

Should HPC be enable with the 2 computers along with all the STD setting in Bios
Thanks for your help guys

HPC locks the multiplier for the CPU at maximum setting so it has no LAG when asked to do a demanding job as its already running at maximum performance levels and doesn't have to wait for the CPU to realize that it needs to up the clocks from idle clocks(powersaving mode) to high performance clocks!
if you want no delay in performance thats what HPC is for as it will hold the CPU at its full clocks all the time...
as for C & Q that should be disabled as it may interfere with HPC mode and continue trying to throttle the CPU to lower clocks and voltages! if C&Q is off just enable HPC and it should function properly!

970A-G45 downclocking CPU at 53C

I've been playing Payday 2 lately and have noticed some odd behavior. After playing for so long, all at once the game gets slow and laggy. I run All CPU Meter in the background and notice that when the game gets laggy, that Core Temp is showing 255C for my core temps. After this point, all applications run slow until I reboot the system.
Then I checked CPU-Z and I think I found the culprit. I took a screenshot of CPU-Z, then ran Prime95 until the temp went to 255C (which happens around 53C after about 5 seconds), then took another screenshot of CPU-Z.
Before:
Core Speed 3299.94 MHz
Multiplier x 16.5
Bus Speed 200.00 MHz
HT Link 1999.97 MHz
Core Voltage 1.376 V
After:
Core Speed 799.99 MHz
Multiplier x 4.0
Bus Speed 200.00 MHz
HT Link 1999.98 MHz
Core Voltage 1.240 V
I tried updating to latest bios (v2.5) which didn't help. At this point I did follow MSI instructions to hard-clear CMOS using motherboard jumper and also to load optimized defaults from BIOS setup. I haven't touched bus speed or voltage settings.
I tried a different CPU cooler (Arctic Cooler Freezer 64 Pro) but temps have been about the same. I tried taking the door off the side of my case which DOES help when I'm gaming but not if I try running Prime95. I've always had trouble with CPUs on this board getting too hot and I can't figure out what to do about it. Any suggestions?
System:
MSI 970A-G45 (MS-7693) v1.0 (bios v2.5)
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T
4 x G.Skill F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ
Antec 750W TruePower
Radeon HD 6950
On a side note, I was originally having problems with the same board, different CPU on this thread:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=151913.0

MSI replaced my 970A-G45 with a 970A-G46 (bios 2.5). I installed it an ran Prime95 for an hour. The CPU maxed out and stabilized at 51 or 52C which was nice to see. It seemed to be running fine.
After getting back to gaming (Payday 2) I quickly noticed in-game lag. Usually I assume a poor graphics card to blame but running Bandicam indicated a framerate between 60-90 fps. My CPU temps continued to hold steady around 51C while gaming. CPU utilization on each core fluctuates between 30-70% (on average, with all 6 cores busy) while I play with occasional spikes that max CPU utilization. Nothing indicates a CPU or GPU load except that the game gets laggy. If I take the side off my case, however, the lag goes away so it's almost like something is getting loaded and getting too hot but I can't place what.
As an aside, one of my friends has the same GPU and an Intel 2500k (similar clock speed but fewer cores) but doesn't have lag issues in Payday 2.
So in doing some reading I run across this article:
http://www.overclock.net/t/946407/amd-motherboards-vrm-info-database
I find the 970A-G46 and see "Throttling" listed under VRM. I'm already aware that there are heat issues with this line of boards. Could it be that the CPU is still getting too hot, but now instead of overheating it is throttling back? If that's the case I'm not getting full use of my CPU. What can I do to get this fixed?

970A-G45 with latest Bios not read correctly By Amd Overdrive

System is as follows
Motherboard: 970A-G45 Bios is now 1.61 all have been tried
CPU: AMD FX 8120
Memory: AMD Performance Edition 1600MHz 8 gbyte
PSU Corsair GX600
problem is that AMD BEMP profiles are grayed out,With this processor and memory the BEMP profile should be available both AMD and Patriot the makers of the memory say the problem is the bios not being read correctly by AMD overdrive.Now how do we get a bios release that will be correctly read by AMD Overdrive.here are pics of cpu-z and AMD overdrive BEMP.
I used the instructions posted here but the image in the instructions doesn't show either

Does AMD overdrive start and work on your system, besides the BEMP thing: yes!, so that is not the question or problem here.
Do you have the hardware components that are needed to support BEMP: NO!

New build with MSI 970A-G45 won't load OS or live CD

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G45 AM3+ AMD 970
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana 3.3 Ghz Socket AM3
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 2x4GB DDR3 1866, Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
Video Card (original): ASUS ENGTX550 TI DC/DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Video Card (operational): XFX 7600 GT
System HD: Runcore 64GB Sata II SSD
Optical Drive: LITE-ON SATA DVD-RW drive
I just finished building a new upgrade build into an existing case with an existing PSU and hard drives/optical drive. Originally the system wouldn't power on at all, which I traced to the new video card (something to do with grounding or an inadequate power supply maybe?), but in any case I got past that for the moment with my old video card. The system will power on and get to the BIOS screen. I can enter the BIOS and everything looks fine: all my drives are detected, the RAM is present, the CPU looks correct. However, when I go to actually load an operating system, it never loads. After the BIOS screen I just get a blank screen with a white blinking cursor in the upper-left corner, and this never goes away (I've tried leaving it for 10 minutes or more).
Originally I was trying to boot from the mentioned SSD which has both Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7 64-bit partitions installed with GRUB2 to load them. This didn't load, so I tried an Ubuntu 11.04 live CD in my DVD-ROM drive. That didn't work, so I tried the same CD in an external USB CD-ROM drive in case it was a problem with the SATA controller/connectors. Still the same behavior. So I tried a memtest86+ CD in both drives. Still the same behavior. For each of the tests after the first I explicitly opened the boot menu with F11 at the BIOS screen and selected the device I wanted to try.
At this point I've already tried exchanging the memory I had originally bought with the memory I listed above, since the old memory I realized after I bought it was labelled as "Intel i5/i7 compatible" and the new memory is on the MSI support list for this motherboard model. Any thoughts on where to go next? My next thought was to RMA the motherboard but I feel like I'm flying blind here. I've never see a new build get stuck at this point in the boot process.

OK posting from Ubuntu on my now-working build!!
So, after two weeks of messing around with the CPU, RAM, video card, etc., I finally have the thought that the one thing I haven't tried yet is the old SATA expansion PCI card that I put in early on at the bottom of the motherboard underneath the video card (out of direct sight, out of mind apparently), for when I try to connect all 7 of my SATA devices. I tried pulling that out - presto, it boots. Retried a couple of times for proof, keeps booting correctly. It can even load memtest86+ off a CD. Put the PCI card back in - still boots. Reconnected the sata drive - no boot. Remembered that this particular PCI card has two SATA ports and one is for RAID of some kind, tried the other port - now it boots. The drive connected to the card is also detected by the OS.
In conclusion, it was something entirely different from what I was working on, as it usually is.
I'm going to get to work connecting everything back up, getting the new video card working, etc. I suspect I'll be back at least to read when I try to get my memory working at 1866 (different forum I know). Thanks to those who responded for the pointers.

What to do with bricked motherboard? MSI P67A-G45 AFTER FLASHING LAST BIOS

I flashed MSI P67A-G45 by the last BIOS for IB CPU. The flashing goes twice with intermediate reset. Before I flashed P67A-C43 by the same version from MSI, and all was Ok.
I flashed new BIOS from version 1I under DOS mode. There was a problem with pen drive and I used hard disk without USB pen drive. That was my error. The exe file started and flashed BIOS normally and then after reset started flashing Intel ME firmware. I thought all is going ok and the image is taken from HDD. But after the process finished and motherboard reset, it didn't start at all. The fan starts and stops, LED blinks and motherboard behaves the same way even without CPU. What can I do? Is there any way, suppose, using a EEPROM writer? I have one and I can take the BIOS chip off and flash by old version of BIOS. What can You advise? Maybe the second flash process writes another chip - can You tell me about it. Please advise how to manage this problem.
I received no help from support. I'm not a novice - I work in repair center and have soldering station etc. Can You explain me anything about second flashing process? I need only information and I will be able to manage th :lol_anim:is problem.

Why did you flash the C43 BIOS on the G45 mainboard?

MSI 970A-G45 reboot issues

Just did an upgrade to my PC.
Running the following:
MSI 970A-G45
Athlon Phenom X4 955 at Stock speeds(used from previous rig)
Corsair Vengeance 8GB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz at Stock speeds(new)
XFX Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5(new)
OCZ 120GB SOLID 3 SERIES SATA III 2.5 Hard Drive
Sony DVDRW 24x(used from previous rig)
BFG 550W PSU(used from previous rig)
Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
Here's the issue. Sometimes when I restart the PC, it never comes back up. It goes down like normal, then I have no video signal and it just sits there. It's doesn't happen all the time though, which is perplexing. When it does not come back up, I can simply hit the reset button and then it starts to boot up. Apparently it has all the latest BIOS and drivers according to MSI Live update. So at this point I have no idea what to try in order to get this thing to restart normally every time. I guess I shouldn't be too concerned considering I don't reboot a lot...?...?
P.S. I am not overclocking anything. Processor and RAM are running at stock speeds.
P.S.S. I do have two USB hard drives hooked up. Could one or both of them be causing the random reboot issue?
P.S.S.S. Although I mentioned the USB drives, I never had this reboot issue prior to upgrading to this motherboard, video card and ram.
THANKS!

Hello,
Having the same issue with similar hardware. PC will boot cold and shutdown like it should but restarting most of the time causes the system to hang with no video but the fans run and MB LED's are still lit. Pressing the reset causes the video to restore and POST and a normal boot. I tried an old video card to eliminate a video card problem but it does the same thing. Here is the hardware I'm running, I just built it today.
MSI 970A-G45
AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE (not OC)

I would post CPU-Z stats but I cant figure out how to attach images. help?
Areamike,
To adjust the command rate you have to go into the overclock tab and go into advanced DRAM config. If I can remember right you may have to adjust another setting away from AUTO to be able to access this menu. (i would be able to tell you for sure but I cant look at BIOS and be on the forum typing at the same time.lol) After having this problem I read a lot of reviews with people having trouble with this board, hopefully its just a setup problem for us.

Does 870a-G54 NON FX Motherboard now support Vishera CPU's after bios flash?

I have the non fx version of the 870a-g54, I have the latest bios flashed on my motherboard right now and in the description of the bios update it reads "- Update AGESA code for Vishera CPU"
So is this support for FX cpus now ?
Is the 870a-g54 FX board the same as the mainboard non fx with just support for FX out of the box?
I'm confused, I would really love to upgrade my CPU, I know my motherboard has weak power phasing so I won't be overclocking at all if I did upgrade.
THoughts?

Quote from: XFM on 16-February-13, 04:59:38
OK, here's a list from MSI I found that support Vishera, if anyone can prove otherwise then go by this list. There is no sense going back and forth without definite proof, as far as I'm concerned the proof is this list.

Right there -> 890FXA-GD65 ,white socket , has FX support.So white or black it simply has to be tested and stated to work.
It was stated to work with FX 5 months before the CPU release.And this is just one example
Anyway i would say FX CPU-s SHOULD be used with boards released last year ,just to be safe it doesn t blows up when the CPU reaches some Turbo State.
FX series needs proper VRM stages.

970A-G45 unable to shut-down/ reset

I've got a MSI 970a-G45 mobo running Win 7 64bit with CoolerMaster GX 650W PSU which I recently upgraded the cpu from FX4100 to FX6300. Have encountered problem when after idling for couple of hourse all the USB stopped working, display gone blank but PC still running (fans are still running). Pressing and holding the power button doesn't turn off the system nor pressing the reset button to reboot works. After turning off the switch and switching the PC on, the same symptoms will happen when using the computer (all of sudden the screen will turn blank, all USB devices stopped but cpu lights/fans still running), unless the PC is not on after sometime.
Prior changing to CPU I've also upgraded the mobo firmware to v1.11 and it was running fine on FX4100. Anyone knows what's wrong?

Quote from: JLio01 on 26-September-14, 09:59:23
well...you can try if you have other mobos or psu to test..since you mentioned it was running fine on FX4100, I'd think it's just the BIOS compatibility issue.
unfortunately I don't have spare mobos and I'm abit paranoid as AMD mobos are getting rare in Singapore (no demand as everyone is heading intel), hence , I'm trying to hang on to this as long as I could as I've also read there are some issues in 970a-G46 boards :( .
have juz read from another forum with regards to 970a-g46 "For new FX series CPu support Version 1.10 is needed. v2 or newer Version requires Windows 8 System. Or else Mobo will get bricked", so I guess it'll be the same for g45
Sorry but are there any MSI tech able to comment on this? Or am I require to write in to have an open ticket? Thanks.

Msi 970a-g45 won't enter setup

I just put together a brand new system. Components are as follows:
MSI 970A-G45 mobo
AMD FX 4100 3.6Ghz
GeForce GTX 550-Ti video card
(2) 2GB DDR3 1600 memory
When I first put this system together, I set my 3 hard drives as a raid 5 and then proceeded to install windows. First it told me I needed a dvdrom driver which I thought was funny because that's what the windows disk was running in. I restarted several times and I got a boot failure and when I restarted it again one of my harddrives disappeared. After unplugging and replugging several times I finally got them all to show up again but then it wouldn't let me back into bios. It froze several times at the entering setup screen. I tried resetting cmos and no results. I pulled the memory down to one stick and got into bios again but it hasn't reset anything other than the date. Windows 7 boot disk still won't run and I don't know what else to do with it. I have used this disk to recently set up 4 other computers and have eventually gotten all the other bugs worked out. What else can I do to insure that this will work?

Use as few components as possible when installing Windows: No doubles or extras or other unnecessary things. Add the unnecessary things afterwards.

970A-G45 Will not post.

I am building a new system and am using then 970 motherboard. When I turn it on power goes to the motherboard and the LED lights up that there is power however I get no image on the monitor and the computer doesn't POST. I've done everything I know to do and nothing works.
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G45
Model: MS-7693
Power Supply: Antec 500W BP500U
Processor: AMD FX-8120 Zambezi 3.1GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8120FRGUBOX

Graphics Card: XFX Nvidia GeForce GT520

Please get a normal powersupply and not this rubbish junk: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371004
And you have to flash it with a supported CPU to make it work.

Cpu burn-in

I have just finished assembling a new computer. In fact, it is the first one which I put together. I am looking for recommendations on a cpu burn-in program. There doesn't appear to be one in AUR or the standard repositories.

Hmmm if that's the case
#!/bin/bash
while true; do
dmesg > /dev/null
done
that should loop sufficiently fast enough, and do enough operations to shoot CPU usage to 90-100%
Just do "sleep 600 && killall oddscript" so it runs for 10 minutes....

Cpu burn-in question...

Hi all, I decided to try out cpu burn-in to see how high my load temps get opposed to using seti@home. What are your opinions on disabling error checking? also, I notice in speedfan that it only loads one of my logical processors. Is it doing it's job to it's potential?

It looks like your burn in program is not multitasking, so it really isn't a full workout.
