990FXA-GD80 bios code error 54

Hi there.
My old motherboard (an Asus Crosshair II Formula) got berserk some days ago and I switched to a new 990FXA-GD80 Military class II.
Well, I cannot pass boot up because the motherboard stops at the ram check level giving me an error "54" message.
Tried everything to no avail (clearing CMOS, swapping here and there ram sticks, no sas controller installed)
The only thing I've not tried yet is changing the cpu (will try tomorrow).
My config specs:
CPU: Phenom II X4 905e Deneb HD905EOCK4DGI 65W
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Low profile CML16GX3M4X1600C7 16GB (4X4GB) 1600Mhz
HDD: Corsair Neutron SSD 128GB
HDD2: Seagate 2,5" 1TB sata
Controller: Adaptec 51245 Sas controller
VGA: Msi based on some Amd chipset (cannot remember)
PSU: Cooler master 1.000 W
At first I thought it was some sort of compatibility problem between ram and motherboard but as I see on the web Corsair Vengeance is supported, so I'm starting to think it's a faulty motherboard (unless the CPU is gone mad too).
Every component was perfectly running before the old motherboard fried.

I am having nearly the same problem as gnoppi, except I get 3 beeps & error code 19 first for just a couple of seconds, then it changes to code 54. Like gnoppi, I also just converted over from a ASUS DDR2 MB (M2N32-SLI Deluxe) to this 990FXA-GD80 MB. I've tried eveything mentioned on this board, and even bought a common model PNY 4gb (PC3-10666) RAM stick to try out, but it still does the same. I read from another post here (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=153161.0) that error 19 could indicate that the bios needs updated for your CPU, but my CPU is a fairly common model AMD Phenom X4 945, & it worked ok on the old ASUS MB. I've also try disconnecting absolutely everything one at a time, including the main hard drive, monitor, & video boards (everything except the CPU), but I always get the exact same error code sequence. Does anyone have any suggestions before I start messing with the CPU?

990fxa-gd80 bios on 990fxa-gd80 v2

here my computer MSI 990FXA-GD80V2

Memory Model F3-12800CL10D-16GBXL
TOSHIBA DT01ACA100 1TB
Gigabyte Geforce 550 Ti 1gb
when i install windows 7 64 integral i have the problem of 16 gb memory install and 7.97 usable. i made some recherche on forum and upgrade bios of my 990fxa-gd80 V2 with the 990fxa-gd80 bios ver.11.12. Nothing change and some day later i fount a topic said the same problem of mine and in this topic said downgrade to bios of 990fxa-gd80 ver. 11.2. then the bios wont reboot.
my question is.
can i do something?
like put a seproom am3 soket and reflash my bios with 990fxa-gd80 v2 bios ?

PLEASE READ THIS....
xmad..????
The memory is in slots 1 & 2 as required and showing 16384GB.. 8192MB ea. Am I missing someting? I see the correct memory, and still question how the question is only 7.XX usable? Ram speed: 800.1KHz X2=DDR3 1600
10-10-10-30 is the correct timings.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231489&Tpk=F3-12800CL10D unusual timings as compared to others..but accurate.
I do not see a problem. Scubacads123 can you please tell me how and why you believe only 7.XX is the only usable memory? Again if you have a program that shows the amount of memory being used, and it shows only 7.XX.. that will have nothing to do with your available 16GB. Although you have 16GB installed..that is the 'Total' usable available memory..not what is being 'currently'used. When memory is installed..it is not all used, at all times. Possiblt only 3.XXGB.. on a 32bit OS could be maxed out, on a constant basis. It is possible..unless you do CAD or another demanding program that you may 'never' use all the 16GB. That is not a bad thing. Head room is a good thing.

Post Code 9A Error, 990FXA-GD80, Bios bug

After Bios B.40 i got same strange bug, sometimes when i load a oc profile my pc get stuck at 9A error and the only thing that i can do to recovery is use ctrl+home to recovery it, clear cmos is unless.
After a lot of tests to try understand what was happening i got the answer.
My CPU is a X3 710 (waiting for bulldozers) so i always use the unlock cpu core feature. I used this x3 with unlocked core for 2 years without any problem, so the locked core is good.
If i load a oc profile with unlock cpu core feature enabled from a already unlocked stage, everyting is ok, but if my bios seting "unlock cpu core" is disabled and i load a oc profile with it enabled my pc do 6 beeps, restart and get stuck at 9A post code.
I have sure that in Bios B.30 this wasnt happening.

Guy, did u see me asking anything about overclock?
I was talking about a bios BUG that can damage the mainboard, and a lot of ppl cant recovery their bios like i did.
I posted to help ppl with same issue and alert others to avoid it.
I informed MSI about it using the right channel.
Ty for help me bump this topic.

Hello!
Overclocking questions go somewhere else.
If you don't absolutely need to update BIOS to solve a problem, resist the temptation.
And if you do... Go back to the version that made you smile!
We ask people to state the max ampères the PSU can do. There is a list on the PSU box.

990FXA-GD80 BIOS update failure POST F2 + 26, 36, 19, F9

Hoping to get some help here I've seen some great people that I am hoping will know any other tricks to help possibly save my motherboard. It's my first build and everything was running beautifully, and unfortunately the last thing I decided to do was update my BIOS to the newest version... I just ran the downloaded version, installed and restarted, upon restart I get nothing on screen. POST error code just says F2.
I have been Googling for a couple of days and tried a lot, most of the time I was forwarded to this great forum where people had similar problems but for me to no avail. I have tried the following:
- reset CMOS
- Disconnect PSU
- Make formatted USB with versions (I tried all of them, including them in folders + zip)
- Left x1 RAM in fourth slot
When I put a USB with a BIOS driver in it the POST LED error code just gives F2 (and unpredictably sometimes 36 comes up ). The USB LED just flashes, I've tried this multiple times for up to an hour at most. Secondly when there is no USB drive inside the POST LED seems to go on a loop of codes... here they are (not sure of right order)... 19, 26, 36, F9, F2... when doing this the red LED next to it flashes and so does the DDR_PHASE +2 LED
Sorry if this is a recurring problem that you've seen a lot (I know Svet has!) but I would really appreciate the help. I know a lot of you will say it is bricked but surely there is something I can do... I love this mobo and I will not let her die!

it has the latest version of 13.5 on it out the box! (it was produced 14 months ago)
download the latest version and retry!
I'm doing that now, just plugged in USB and turned on, USB LED is flickering, and POST is just on F2... seems like the same drama as the rest, I will leave it on that for now, how long do you recommend? Also, the middle part of the motherboard (the metal part where it says OC Genie II) gets really hot, is that normal? I have a home office fan on it now with the case open to keep it cool, I don't know if it was like that when everything was running smoothly (in the good old days lol).
What do you suggest I do if this doesn't work?

990FXA-GD80 debug code 19

New build using 990FXA-GD80, AMD FX-6100, GTX 560ti GPU, 8GB (2x 4GB) Crucial Ballistix Tactical, Patriot Wildfire SSD, PC Power and Cooling Silencer 610 PS. Initial power up shows a debug code 19 and fails to post. MB Bios sticker reads:
AMI APTIO
DT 2006
AG84 3700
Looking for some assistance with debug error. Followed clear cmos procedure including battery removal.

19 is Pre-memory South Bridge initialization is started
this could be either a bad board, unsupported bios or a damaged CPU! check that the cpu has no bent pins!
i guess you miss read the bios sticker
AMI APTIO
DT 2006
AGB4 3700
B4 means it has BIOS version 11.4
your CPU requires a minimum bios version of B5 (11.5)
you will need to eiter get a supported CPU or take the board to a computer shop for them to do it or Send the board to MSI to have them flash the bios for you!

990FXA-GD80 Debug Code 2b won't boot

Specs:
990FXA-GD80 v2
16GB Kingston Predator 2133@1866
FX 8350
MSI r9 290 4GB Gaming
Silverstone ST-1000
60GB Kingston SSDnow
2TB Seagate Hybrid Drive
Problem:
When I hit power the Debug Code reads 19, FF, 2b then resets continuously.
History:
I had a similar problem when I first build the computer in February and reseting the RAM fixed it. About a month ago I had the mobo replaced through RMA.
The first time I had this happen when I built the computer it worked for a couple weeks before failing to post. The computer has been working for a few weeks since I RMAed the mobo.
Steps taken so far:
1. I reset the cpu
2. Reset memory
3. Moved memory from DIMMs 1/3 to 2/4
4. Reset Video Card
5. Checked all power cables
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I'm guessing that it is the memory but the memory has worked fine for like 9 months besides having to be reset.
Is there anyway to test this?
Edit: I just reset the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor and the debug only read FF (memory error). I reset the memory and the debug is going through the FF,19,2b sequence again.

I contacted kingston and they are going to replace the RAM. The online form made me put repair under reason for return because the RAM kit is discontinued. I called tech support and was told that they will either replace the kit with one they have in stock or give me options from kits they do have in stock.
Thanks for the help. It looks like I'm going to have to pilfer a 4GB stick from my HTPC for the next couple of weeks.

990FXA-GD80 Bios question

AMD Announced a few years ago that the GD80 would have support for the FX9000 series processors.
So far the bios 13.5 and Compatibility list shows it doesnt.
So has MSI given up and not going to release a bios?
If this is the case shouldnt it be announced after all in the UK to adverise something that doesnt happen is illegal and against the trades description act and sales of goods act if u are advertising it will do something but doesnt.

Previous threads within the AMD section confirm that it does work as long as the BIOS is up to date. Just a bit of searching in the AMD threads will find you people that use it.
Further, some checks on the release date show the FX9xxx processors as first half of 2013.
Just a quick check in the BIOS releases for the board indicate clearly the BIOS updates during 2013 to accommodate the new processors, i.e. - Update CPU AGESA code.
No reason whatsoever that the entrusted MSI people on the forum cannot find the information if they intend to help.
Its as easy as checking and then one can just refer to the search links http://www.techpowerup.com/188144/msi-990fxa-gd80-motherboard-gets-support-for-amd-fx-9590-processor.html released July 2013

Issue Regarding 990FXA-GD80 BIOS flash

Hello all
This is my first post, so please bear with me if i do not include everything needed. Also, this forum looks very informative and helpful from what I've seen. My gratitude extends to all that help out!
I am having trouble flashing the BIOS on the 990FXA-GD80 mobo. I am currently running v11.12 (7640vBC) and I am trying to upgrade to v11.14 (7640vBE7 or any BE for that matter). Thus far, i have tried BE7 as well as BE6
For BE7:
I used the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool and all goes well with that part of the process and is performed successfully. I clear the CMOS properly (disconnect power cord, hold button for 5 seconds, remove battery, hold down power button)
After booting back up, I load default settings in the BIOS, yet the BIOS version stays at v11.12 and I have no clue as to why.
Is there a Boot Sector Protection that I may be overlooking? I didn't see that type of option in the BIOS
I then tried to update to BE6:
I haven't actually successfully flashed to this beta whatsoever, because when I do boot up with the usb and try it, this message comes up:
PI Version in SYS ROM mismatched PI Version in ROM File!
Force update it may be destroy the system BIOS
We do not recommend flashing your BIOS
after seeing this message, I did not go forward with it.
Please help in this matter, as this is my first attempt at trying to flash my bios
Thanks in advance
My system:
990FXA-GD80
AMD FX-8350
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1600
128gb OCZ Vertex 4
Cooler Master Silent Pro M 850W

Thanks Svet, I'll try it again and go through with it
But, why does it only give me the warning message for BE6 and not BE7? I would rather try to solve the issue I'm having with BE7 rather than BE6

990FXA-GD80 BIOS Update & Compatibility

Hi there!
I've a 990FXA-GD80 v1 with a Phenom II x4 965BE (125W) on a v11.13 BIOS.
With this in mind, I need to do a format & reinstall windows. I'm currently using windows 7 and will remain using it. I've noticed there's 2 official BIOS updates ( v13.3 and v13.4 ) that repeatedly indicates:
* MSI recommend you to update BIOS only if you are using Windows8.
* There is no way to reflash back to BIOS version Bxx if you already updated to version Dxx.
So my first question goes to... is even worth the trouble of updating the BIOS ? What could I benefit from the update ?
My second question goes to a possible future HW upgrade of the CPU.
I was thinking about buying the FX-8350 or wait 'till the end of the year and go for the FX-9590 so I went to the MSI website to look for the CPU compatibility list and found out that the top of the line in FX based CPU is the FX-8300.
What gives? Is it just incomplete? Or will I have to change the motherboard too ?
Please, help me out guys!

I changed from to 13.x because with 11.13 it wasn´t possible to set RAM to 2133 MHz. With 13.x it´s possible, when using an FX-CPU.

Quote from: lessthandan on 11-October-13, 02:38:18
For those of you using a 990FXA-GD80, and an FX-8350 processor, how are you managing to overclock it past 4.2Ghz? I just got my 990FXA-GD80 V2 a few days ago, and option for CPU VCORE in the BIOS is really lousy (only going up to 1.44 volts). This, combined with voltage droop, only nets me a total of 1.4 volts at the very most. Not good for overclocking at all. Can't get it past 4.2ghz or 4.3ghz stable.
What are you guys doing to get it higher? This motherboard doesn't seem very OC-friendly, unless I am missing something. I'm using BIOS 13.5. Thanks
Probably won't be much help but I have the 990FXA-GD80 + AMD8350 and it's running 4.4GHz. Odd thing is a mate of mine bought the parts and slapped it together with NO overclocking??

990FXA-GD80 BIOS POST Loop

I purchased this board last month and ive had a possible bios bug pop up.
If i reset or reboot my system, the bios gets stuck in a post loop
FF > b4 > 19
and it repeats until i power cycle it, which is when it screams overclock settings failed.
Spec:
AMD FX-8320 @ 4.00GHz
BIOS: 11.13
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 2x 4GB

I have the same issue. I cleared the cmos (via the button and then via the battery pull)
I can start one time, get all the way to the Win7 login screen. Then I shutdown, try to restart and my MB shows the following message:
2b->FF->19, blinking very rapidly. The DDR_Phase 2 light also blinks.
THe only way I can reboot is to clear the CMOS and start again
as I was writing this, about 2 mins passed an the computer restarted.
I tried putting windows in hibernate mode, and again, the system restarted after a pause and the same symptoms.
When running, a small red LED light blinks sporadically to the left of the JFP2 panel (left of the debug box). The DDR_Phase 2 light is now solid
I have:
990FXA-GD80 MB
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Processor
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) in the slot closest to the processor

990fxa-gd80 debug code FF

Having problems booting my 990FXA-GD80V2.
CPU: FX-8150
PSU: Antec 500W
GPU: EVGA 02G-P4-2678-KR GeForce GTX 670
RAM: Corsair DDR3
I've tried the usual things, resetting the CMOS, checking CPU seating, 1 stick only of RAM, etc. Everything seems to be powering on. But I don't get past FF. For this CPU, do I need a BIOS update? If so how would I do that if the board doesn't post? Is a 500W PSU enough?
Thanks for any help.

Quote from: Svet on 02-September-12, 03:30:52
have you connected all power cables?
to the CPU?
all cables to the VGA too?
what exactly memory sticks you are using?
have you tried to boot with barabone setup and mainboard out of PC case?
The motherboard power is connected, and the CPU fan is connected and powers on. Is there a separate CPU power cable? The VGA is connected and powers on (as far as I can tell, at least the fan does). The memory is CORSAIR XMS 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Model CMX4GX3M2A1333C8. (I'm planning to get some 1666 RAM after I get the motherboard working.) I have tried booting without any hard drives or USB stuff attached, just the VGA and CPU, but I still get the FF code. I haven't taken it out of the case.

MSI 990FXA-GD80 Bios upgrade

I'm running one of these boards using windows 7 pro x64atm.
My question is simply all the new bio's state "* MSI recommend you to update BIOS only if you are using Windows8."
if i wanna upgrade the bios for a new CPU does this mean that it wont work for windows 7?

No. I recommend using the newest available BIOS on this board. Windows 8 has features that require newer BIOS on some boards for full functionality.
Flash away.
