970A G46 No post no video

New build can't get system to post or display any video: using an AMD X3 720 CPU, Sapphire 4650, GSkill Ripsaw DDR3 F3 14900cl 8gbxl x2, a Corsair 430 PS.
When I power on the 4 led on MOBO come on, all fans (CPU, Case, PS) on except the video card. So I swapped out the video card for a known working one  twice with same result. Once same make and model and once with older ATI card.
Started systematic swapping of parts one by one. I changed the PS, video card, Ram,  installed Ram one x one tried different video slot, sent the MOBO & ram back got new MOBO and ram installed it with same result no post no video display. Have checked all the pwr connections, both 8 & 24 pin installed, none needed on video card. Taken everything out of the case and tried it outside the box with no change. The only thing I can't do is swap CPU as other box is WinTel and don't have another AMD MOBO. I'm Stumped!

As you swapped anything else the cpu seems to be bad... See if any friend or workmate also has an AMD system to test it.

  • 970A-G46 No post - New build

    I'm putting together a new system using the MSI 970A-G46 MB and and AMD FX 6300 CPU . I'm  using 32G of Corsair RAM  (2 (2x8 GB) RAM). RAM model is DDR3 @2133 MHz. (CMY16GX3M2A2133C11)
    I purchased an XFX R7 240 graphics card and have tried an older card I pulled from another computer. The power supply is rated at 500w.
    When I power the system us, there is no post test, but the 4 CPU Phase lights do turn on and all the fans run, including the one on the XFX Video card.
    This is not my first build. But this is the first one that I couldn't get to boot.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I believe I found the problem. After doing the last tests, I decided to check everything that had been installed
    When I removed the CPU fan, the CPU came out with the fan. I reseated teh CPU and reinstalled the fan and it is booting now.
    Thanks for being patient with me.

    Exact same thing happened to me once, years ago.  I was sweating bullets, let me tell you...  Like in your case, a simple cpu reseat solved the problem.  The UL protections built into motherboards are far more robust than generally thought, as I discovered--plus the power supplies are robust, too, these days.  Glad to see that you replaced that original PSU with the Corsair--it should last you a long time.

  • 970A-G46 no beeps no video

    I had 970A-G46 with FX-8320 with radeon  HD 7870 working fine for several months.
    One day while I was playing a game everything went dark and there was burned
    electronics smell. After that computer wasn't responding on power up. I tested PSU (CX500M)
    in another system and it was working fine. I RMA-ed the motherboard and just received
    a replacement.
    I put the system back toghether on a table with a small video card (I think it's radeon 5450).
    Now when I power it up all 4 blue led lights on top of motherboard come up and cpu
    fan is spinning. But I get no beeps (I have a small speaker plugged in into motherboard JFP2) and no video.
    Things I tried:
    disconnect everything other than ram cpu and videocard
    re-seating everyting
    trying different video card
    moving ram into different slots (I tried 2+4, 1+3, 1+2, and now I have one stick in slot 1).
    Clear CMOS (shorting jbat1 pins 2-3 while system was off).
    removing battery for 15 min.
    using a different PSU (antec TP-750C)
    double checked that I have both 24pin and 8pin power connected
    moving video card to a different pci-e slot.
    Regardless of what I tried I have no beeps during boot and no video.
    But system looks live - four blue leds on motherboard light up and cpu fan is spinning.
    Does anybody have an advice ?
    Can this have something to do with mismatch between FX 8320 and version of bios ?
    Am I supposed to hear beeps during normal boot ? I read in one of the posts in this forum
    that msi motherboards dont beep during boot anymore. Is this correct ?

    Unfortunately I don't have another am3+ cpu/board to test.
    I am trying to figure out what to do next.
    I would buy another cpu if I knew for sure that the cpu is bad.
    you can't be sure of this until is tested somewhere.
    you need to swap parts to see what is working and what not.
    you need a second PC or other parts that you can use in your PC

    From reading forums it looks like cpu failure is something very rare.
    when electric accident was involded, everything is suspected and can be burn less than second.
    so for this case wouln't be a surprice if the CPU is burned.
    Quote
    I want to make sure that this isn't something like old bios version not supporting FX-8320.
    you can't be sure of this since you don't know current mainboard BIOS version,
    and don't have another CPU to try which is supported since initial BIOS version
    to verify what is the board BIOS version and is it BIOS issue, or bad CPU problem

    My PC has this strange problem. On turning it on, the lights come on, the fans start whirring, but there is no video signal...
    There are no beeps or anything..
    Since this happened right after I installed a new HDD, I took it out..
    But even then it did not work!
    I tried clearing the CMOS by moving the jumper and it booted up...
    But when I again tried with the jumper in the default position it stopped working!

    Check your leads from your PSU to your GPU (if it requires same--I'm not conversant with nVidia gpus)--and just for fun, switch it out with its twin.  Reseat the gpu, carefully, etc.  To that end, it looks like your PSU is possibly just barely adequate for your setup.  What's your max amperage on the 12v rail? 
    But...sounds like a wiring short, somewhere--check all of your connections carefully, make sure there are no screws or washers, etc., loose that are underneath the motherboard and creating a short between mboard and the metal case cover (like accidentally dropping a screw when attaching the hard drive, etc.)
    As well--check your jumpers on the HD and make sure those are OK (although I doubt that's the problem--years ago an improperly jumpered hard drive could keep the entre system from booting.  These days that is rarely a problem, though, if ever.)
    The fact that your system boots when your CMOS pins are jumpered a certain way--but not in the default position--indicates a short of some kind.  If you find it and correct, you should have no permanent damage, imo.  Good luck!

    I get absolute blackness for some odd reason when i boot up the computer it's not the video card as it used to work just fine on my old computer, and it shouldn't be the CPU as i ordered it brand new but you never know, there is nothing connected to the mobo other than the components listed, any help would be greatly apreciated

     Any CPU that is supported by BIOS 1.0 will do. Sempron 140, 145, yes. See the CPU support list:

    Did you hook the 6 pin connector to the vid card?
    Have you re-seated the card?
    If it is your first build, I would recommend re-read the directions, unhook everything and rebuild.
    It's plugged straight into the supply and I've tried re-seating the card. I'll try re-building and seeing how that goes.
    Quote from: badboy2k on 18-May-12, 07:23:08
    i suspect the problem is the OCZ power supply! they seem to cause many issues and are not to be trusted! that card needs a minimum (no load) of 25A from the +12v rail and the max on your psu is 25amps on any of its +12v rails it will only be able if it ever works to power the card for 3-4mins max before the power will fall off and your back to no signal.
    ditch it and get something like a corsair CX 600 v2 power supply with a high ampage capacity single +12v rail 30A-35A!
    I'll keep this in mind, I'll see what else comes up and try this as a last resort.

  • 970a-g46 3 beeps no video

    It give me 3 long beeps, the 4 lights of the cpu phase are turn on and the cpu's fan and other fans work.
    In other posts mention that it is a memory problem but I can't solve it. I tested my memories in another computer and they work. I follow this post without succeed: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161935.0, please help me.

    This awful ram combo is almost like looking for trouble. Three different low quality value sticks mixed is a guarantee for issues. Did you try with just one stick at a time in your current issue.
    Furthermore did you try updating bios or were you using Live Update before the system stopped to work?

  • MSI 970A-G46 and posting Bios

    Okay a little background,
    i recently built this platform that is in my signature. it would randomly shutdown so i attempted to update the bios and wound up bricking it. after speaking with people at MSI they had me mail it to them than sent me a swapped out one. it worked well for the first couple days than started to randomly shutdown. now it will not post everything turns on but i get no video on my monitor and the usb mouse and keyboard will not light up. i have been doing some swapping around with another computer to test thing and i believe i have 2 possible scenarios of what is wrong. currently i have 4 sticks (4x4) 16 GB of patriot PGV316G1333ELQK sector 5 memory (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820220435) i have some (2x4) 8GB of Patriot PSD38G1600KK memory out of my sons computer that i swapped out of it to see if that was my problem and it will post and start up (possibly with only 2 sticks in not drawing as much power). so i am thinking that it is either my PSU bad or that my memory is simply incompatible. one thing i noticed is that i accidently forgot to plug in the 8 pin ATX power connector for the MB from my PSU and it acted the same way and would not post bios or show any video or light up my mouse or keyboard. so i guess my question is whether or not my PSU is bad or if its my memory. evidently the memory is 1.65v and 9-9-9-24 so is my memory drawing to much power from the MB and the PSU cant keep up? or is the memory just unusable. i have tried to understand from some of the posts here about memory and evidently XMP but i guess i am a little old used to be ddr2 etc fit amd or intel but alot has changed. any help on any suggestions on my problem would be appreciated. i cannot use my sons power supply as it only has 4 pin connector for the ATX on the MB
    sincerely

    Quote
    so i need to do some research and find a better power supply than what are some things i should look for in a quality one?
    Look for a single rail psu of around 450W. At 450W it should offer at least 34A on +12v. To be on the safe side go for a quality brand psu like Corsair.
    Quote
    instead of getting 4 sticks of 4 gb each i should get 2 sticks of 8 gb? i am sorry i didnt understand. even though there are 4 slots only use 2?
    Using two sticks is ideal and reduces the stress for the mem controller in the cpu. The more sticks you are using the more stress. Because of that e.g. ram can not be run at the speed/timings it would work with in two stick configuration. At least it is a dual channel setup meant for two sticks. Still four sticks can be used but mostly at lower speed. If the four sticks are already at their limit (like ddr3 1333 1.65v sticks) compatibility issues are guaranteed.
    Two sticks of 8 GB would be ideal if that would be a matched dual channel kit and not mixing separatly bought sticks.. 

  • 970A-G46 issue (no display, post)

    Hi everyone,
    Today after work I gutted my existing system, as I purchased a new Coolermaster HAF932. Had a darkfleet case and wanted more room. Also had a new H100i CPU cooler from last blackfriday so I decided to install that, replacing a zalman cooler. Everything else remained the same.
    Reused parts
    - AMD 8150 8 core
    - MSI 970A G46
    - Gskill 8gb 1600 Ares
    - MSI 7950
    - 750w TX Corsair psu
    - 120g SSD Kingman
    - 240g SSD Seagate
    - 1x750g 1x650g WD black
    New parts
    - Coolermaster HAF932 case
    - Corsair H100i CPU cooler
    The problem Is after finishing the rebuild, i cant get the system to post. No video, display, nada. Everything does power up. I have tried moving the ram stick around in different slots. Removed the battery on mobo,, waited a few minutes to reset bio. I just now gutted everything from the new case, and setup bare minimum on cardboard. Same results, no change. Everything worked fine, and there were no issues when removing the old cooler to affect the CPU. I am going to pull that and basically start over again...All i did before rebuilding earlier was blow out the PSU and gpu with a portavac(?), and wipe off parts with a dry microfiber.
    If anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Also, yes the 8pin, 24pin, and dual 6pin+2 for gpu are seated down.
    Thanks.

    Haven't tried with the old cooler, but it was a nightmare to get off aka removing retention brackets to get off. Only difference tho besides connecting to the CPU fan header, is the h100i has a USB, and takes up 1 USB header as well. Verified all connections, headers. I rebuilt it back into the case again last night, went over everything to ensure connections and sealed down.....and.. no luck, same issue.
    Gonna order a MSI 970 gaming or 990fx board tonight... and hope for the best.
    I once had a system years ago to display the same symptoms--I thought I'd fried something...  Just as I was about to flog myself I decided instead to re-seat everything--and it turned out I had somehow (never did figure it out) put the cpu heatsink/cooler on the wrong way...  Yes, it "snapped into place," but it was still the wrong orientation.  Was very pleased to discover that upon correction, my system powered up without a hitch.  These motherboard designs are much more robust that people might be tempted to think--and the UL ratings along with other electrical standards pretty much mean that if you inadvertently short something via an improper connection the safeties kick in and simply prevent the boot which prevents any permanent damage from taking place.  Sounds like there's simply a connection short somewhere that is preventing the boot--hope so, anyway!
    I might advise booting it with a spare cpu with maybe stock aircooling just to make sure that the board is still functioning optimally.  Once you determine the board itself is fine then you can zero in on the components (which have to be your cpu/ cooling.)  Strip the system down, start simply, build & test component by component and you'll soon discover the problem.  Good luck!
    I have the G46-970a but use a 6-core FX cpu and stock cooling--pleased to report the board is robust and still humming like a top two years later.  No major problems to report with it at all.  I will say that I believe this board is not the best choice for the 8-core 125W+ FX cpus--*unless* you want to go with the new "E" version of the 8-core FX that's rated at a max 95W TDP (same TDP as my FX6300 which runs at ~4.5GHz on stock voltage & cooling.)

  • 970A-G46 board, no video, memory issue?

    hello,
    I see a lot of people have the same issue i am about to describe, but the only thing that remains is a question of memory compatibility.  I just purchased:
    970A-G46
    AMD FX-8320
    Corsair CX500M 500 Watt Power Supply
    I had some no name DDR3 from another box that i planned on using.  When i put everything together, all i had connected was the power, the CPU, 4 x 4G DDR3, and an old video card.  All the fans came on, but no video, no single post beep.  I removed the RAM, then i got 3 beeps, so i am assuming that power and CPU are fine.  I replaced the video card with one from my desktop to see if that was the problem.  same behavior.  so i took 1 stick of the PNY DDR3 from my desktop, and  see if that was the problem.  Same behavior.  Cleared the CMOS several.  Same behavior.
    Now, i am not an expert in this, but could it be the mobo is that sensitive to memory that my problem can be incompatibility with the memory?  again, i am not an expert, but this is the first time i have ran into this.  And before i spend ~$160 on 2 x 8G DDR3 that someone suggested in a post, i want to be sure that indeed sounds like it could be the solution to my problem.
    thank you very much for taking the time to read this...

    Quote from: neothecat on 16-February-14, 08:54:09
    I just checked, and i it's 38A.  The power supply has additional cables for adding extra power for PCI-E devices, but the motherboard has no where to plug them in (i hope that makes sense...)  Instead of trying to get this to work with this motherboard, would you recommend just sucking it up and getting a new one, perhaps one that better supports the FX 8-core chip?  Or is this sound like a power supply issue?  I went to the newegg site to calculate my PSU needs, and it said i needed 415W, but there seems to be more then just pure wattage that needs to be considered...
    I did try one thing.  I took out the video card, put a stick of memory in, and i get one beep and two short beeps, which indicates a monitor problem.  to me hardware noob brain, it sounds like a need a more powerful PSU.  but i figured i would ask those who know what they are doing before i run around buying new stuff if i do not need it...
    thank you very much...
    Don't worry about the PCIe cables and so on as they're designed to plug directly into your PCIe devices, like your gpus, for instance, with their own 6-8-pin connectors.
    I mentioned the 12v rail amperage as that is particularly relevant for cpus these days, especially multi-core cpus.  Even though my own PSU (Corsair as well) is only 100W more output than your present one, I'm still getting 49a on the 12v rail--which is ~11 amps > than what your 500W Corsair puts out, which could certainly make a difference.  Have you tried entering the UEFI to set your cpu to run on 4-6 cores, just to check out that possibility? *Can* you even get into the UEFI at the moment? (probably not, I guess.)
    Like durquavian, I wouldn't ordinarily think this would definitely be *the* problem, but it's a possibility that needs to be ruled out.  There are just so *many* little gotcha's that could cause your problems, from incompatible ram, to weak/defective PSUs--even to something as weird as accidentally somehow managing to not seat your cpu properly--long years ago I scared myself once when I had assembled everything and when I turned on the power, mboard lights lit up, fans turned--but no boot!  Natch-of course--my cpu was the last thing I reseated, and the cpu reseating solved the problem....  (Obviously, I've never forgotten that incident.)
    But if you haven't already done so--reseat your cpu and double-check the fan mount, etc.  Luck!

  • 970a-g46 no video output issues!!!

    Hello. I recently had some issues with my CPU. It would overheat when I would play games and finally I was tired of having to keep a fan propped up next to my tower to keep it cool. I decided I wanted to reapply the thermal paste. I bought some arctic 5 silver and applied it incorrectly ( it's my first time dealing with this stuff). As I was screwing the heat sink onto the processor, I applied way too much pressure to screw it in and I bent the processor. Bummed, I went to frys and picked up the AMD fx-4100. I swapped the broke. CPU for the new one and then my computer wouldn't output any video. I mean anything. So I decided after asking a few knowledgeable friends, I might need to buy a new gpu or motherboard. So I decided to buy both. I bought the MSI 970a-g46 and a dinky cheap gpu to return in the event I didn't need it. Nothing worked still! I thought at this point maybe I need a new psu. So I went back to frys and bought a new corsair CX750 watt power supply and a corsair water cooler just to be safe. Still I GET NO VIDEO OUTPUT!! I've tried I. Multiple monitors, multiple cords, multiple outlets, and I've had friends with experience in computers help me get the parts and assemble/ plug In everything in the right spot. I've booted it with and without my ram, hard drive, and cd drive, and still nothing. The next thing to do is call a priest to exorcise my case. Does anyone have any experience with this issue? I've tested the gpu and memory on my friends computer and it works fine for him. Once again, I have a new Motherboard, CPU, PSU, GPU, water cooler. I've thrown money at the problem and it still doesn't work. Is something not compatible or am I cursed to never play computer games again?

    First of all please finally list all pc components like I asked for two times already. To post means it will show the first bootup message with results of the power on self-test (cpu-model and clockrate and so on). As somebody build the pc for you - if I understood you correctly - he should have tried to power it on and see if it starts at least. The question was if that has been done or not. If others just assembled parts and you did the rest it is pretty hard to tell what went wrong as you are also obviously lacking some needed knowledge.
    If you are confortable with it take the pc apart and put the board with cpu and cooler mounted on a non-conductive surface. Add just basic components like a graphics card, one mem-stick, psu and connect to a display. Try it outside case then. If you are not comfortable with that better contact someone with more experience to review the machine as you set it up.

    I expect you are right about the PSU quality, but up until Friday evening it has been in service running a 6-core AMD and the same video card, along with an 8-disk HD array (son is doing PHD in computational physics, and works his stuff pretty hard).  Voltages when checked w multi-meter are fine.  I find it hard to believe that it is suddenly inadequate to my far less demanding application.
    When we assembled it last night, the only anomaly I noticed was that the PSU connector for JPWR2 was only four pins.  We used pins 1, 2, 5, and 6, and all four blue LEDs were illuminated indicating that all cores were getting power.
    This afternoon I have removed the mobo and all connections and cleared the CMOS, trying to follow the cannot-boot-up-properly MSI page.  Also, based on another post on this forum, I tried each individual RAM stick in slots one and two.  I have re-seated the CPU and video card. So far, I have not seen or heard anything that would indicate that this mobo is working.
    Any further ideas, or is replacing PSU the only game in town?

  • 970A-G46 AM3+ ATX AMD Motherboard no POST beeps

    Hi,
    I just upgraded from 880G-E45 to 970A-G46.  The same case is used.
    After that, I no longer get any POST beeps.  I've checked that the speaker is connected to JFP2 Buzzer pin 4-6 and tried in both direction.  Yet still no beeps.
    Is this normal?  Or am I missing some settings?
    Thanks

    The beep is there, but very soft and muted...  Most of the time I never hear mine at all.

  • NEW 970A-G46 - No Error Beeps, No Video...

    I had a 785GM-E51 with a AMD Phenom II 655 Processor that stopped working on me. It turned on, the fans and hard drives started but nothing was running on the screen. After checking the GPU, memory, and power supply I found a crack in the mainboard near the CPU (no idea how it got there). When I plugged in my POST card it sat at 0000 (I was not getting any error beeps).
    So I bought a new board: 970A-G46. I got everything plugged in, the CPU reseated and this time it POSTs but it stops at the code d6d6 with nothing on the screen (again I am not hearing any error beeps). I can't find this code anywhere online and was wondering if anyone has seen it before or may know what it means? I've also rechecked the memory (one stick at a time as I don't have any extra DDR 3 laying around) and GPU. My memory isn't listed as having been tested on this motherboard, but I can't see why it wouldn't work. Any help would truly be appreciated.
    Mainboard: MSI 970A-46
    CPU: AMD Phenom II 955 - HDZ955FBK4DGM
    GPU: 9600GT DDR3 1 GB
    Power Supply: Corsair TX750W
    RAM: 2 sticks of Kingston 4Gb - KHX1333C7D3K2
    Hard Drives: 2 320Gb Seagate - ST3320820AS
    POST Card: Gino 4-Digit PC Mainboard POST Diagnostic Analyzer Test Card

    no problem pTrick I'm happy it fixed your problem as i suspected that it was just reading the AMI error/post codes that are 2 symbol hex codes and displaying it twice on your 4 number display card!
    have fun with your now working computer and thank you for reporting back  ...
