A75MA-G55 oc genie 2

I got A75MA-G55 mainboard last month and i can't get oc genie 2 to work since then. When i enable this option in Control Center and reboot, the system won't start and PC just keeps restarting. I tried loading the default options (i really didn't change anything in BIOS) in BIOS and activating OC genie 2, but it's the same as for enabling it in Control Center. This results in me clearing CMOS. I don't know why, but I can't get Overclocking Center and AMD Overdrive to work, either. I updated BIOS to the latest version v1.3. Do i need to install drivers or am i doing something wrong? I installed all drivers from Liveupdate 5 but it says I haven't got the latest versions of display driver, network and audio drivers even when i installed them.
Thanks for your help in advance.
My system specs:
MSI A75MA-G55(MS-7696)
AMD A6-3650 APU 2,6 Ghz
Radeon HD 6530D
BIOS v1.3
DDR3 4096 MB
Windows 7 64-bit

Geez... You Too?
Plus RAID issues
Plus Crossfire issues
This is my first new build in a while.
MY initial overclocking experience involved a #2 pencil and a 750mhz AMD Duron,
after that it was more like microsurgery with magnified optics, soldering traces.
I haven't done much since AGP got phased out by PCI.
What sounded like, in the initial reviews, to be a Board "Sent by the Gods"
I bit... I bought...
and now I'm finding that there is no documentation anywhere on
initializing any of the features that I bought it for in the 1st place.
Sure, I can Convert(x) 2 .avi movies per DVD in 20 minutes instead of 2 hours...
But I'm walking around feeling like I just PAID to be a BETA Tester.
LiveUpdate5 keeps telling me "Your Drivers are current, You have nothing to update'
When I KNOW there are more current point releases. I've SEEN them.
I make $10 an hour... after taxes and child-support payments, that leaves $195 a week.
Any ideas on How Long you have subsist on Ramen Noodles and multi-vitamins to do this?
I've got about a month's pay sunk into this system
New Coolermaster HAF case w/ 200mm red led fans
It Looks good... It LOOKS like it wants to run
4G of 1600 mhz Corsair VENGEANCE RAM
and another 4G in reserve for Win7 (current XP)
MSI R6670 Graphics Card
a Terabyte of Fresh Barracuda's...Raid 0 would SO pump out those GB/s
Half the frustration was that my 1st 7696 had a bad RAM slot #2
5 hour round-trip to MICROCENTER on public transportation- THREE TIMES
only to find out that it WASN'T the RAM being quirky.
Once I figure this thing out...and I will figure it out
I'll post my findings.
I just don't get it though...
in the reviews... snip, snap, plug, power... bada-bing bada-boom
... HUMMING!!!
and I wonder if I'm too stupid or too smart to solve the problem.
I'll be in touch

Problem with Bios 2.0 MSI A75MA-G55

hello, I need help ....
A few days ago I did the update the BIOS of my MSI-A75MA-G55, which is 2.0 and he has presented problems. It has a processor (AMD A-8 3870K) before trouble could overclock to 4.0GHz, but now it goes from 3.6ghz: (... By increasing to over 3.6ghz pc does not start and I have to clear the CMOS for reuse ... the second problem is with the GPU hd6550D now I can not run any game at medium quality such as "far Cry 3" or "Bioshock Infinite" and before if I could .... the previous BIOS version was the V13 or 1.3 which everything worked.
The characteristics of my pc are:
- MSI Motherboard-A75MA-G55 (MS-7696)
- 3870K Processor A-8
- 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1333 (667MHz)
- Hard Drive WD 750GB 64MB Cache
- Thermaltake CLP0575 Frio OCK
Thank you in advance ...!
Sorry do not know much English ...!
Note: I did a BIOS flash, with the tool provided here, to downgrade the BIOS version and I could not because at the end and restart the PC had always the same version.

As the problem is only bios related from your report tell MSI about it so the issue can be fixed: >>How to contact MSI.<<

A75MA-G55 and memory Problem

Hello i have problem with set memory to 1866. Can u help me with it?
This is my configuration:
Samsung 500 GB SATA II 7200 RPM, 16 MB NCQ (HD502HJ)
Good Ram GY1866D364L9/2G x2
Aerocool AEROPGSVP-450
SilentiumPC Pure Black BT-310
MSI A75MA-G55
AMD A8-Series A8-3850 2.8GHz
When i set from auto to 1866 then i hear 3 signals from mobo and nothing...

1866 is a multiplication of something. Do not set it to 1866!!
I do not know your motherboard, but your processor would probably like something that add up to 1333 MHz.

RAID support level for A75MA-G55 mainboard.

Do you know if the A75MA-G55 mainboard supports RAID5?. If it doesn't, do you know if MSI is planning on adding that feature in the near future?. Thank you very much!.

According to the manual only RAID 0, 1 & 10. We don't have any idea what MSI does or doesn't have plans for, we don't work for MSI we are users same as you.
Ask them, >> How to contact MSI <<

No need to clutter up the beta thread with final releases when it is readily available at the MSI Global Website for the mainboard; http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/A75MA-G55.html#/?div=BIOS
Don't use Live Update. For flashing, use the forum's USB Flashing Tool found here, along with instructions how to use it; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
Like I said earlier, I can't download the 1.3, it says my bios is the latest. And if MSI could be sweet and put a download link instead of pointing to Live Update.

A75MA-G55: Lab Burst Mode temp sensor bug

Me and a friend were on a quest to find the best BLK frequency on stock voltage and finally arrived on 153MHz to be the max possible on stock voltage.
We went some benchmarking on 7-zip, GTA4 and wPrime without problems, only we can't measure the cpu core temperature because of that no software can't give us an honest result.
Then our heads came up with an idea, howbout 2hours Prime95 then quick reboot and check temps from Bios.
2 hours later quick reboot, enter bios and there we almost passed out... CPU temperature: 128 degrees Celsius but case temp on 27degrees C.
We left the system off for 3 hours then checked again from a cold boot, 128 degrees C again! then we changed to default settings and there we go 25 degrees C, we switched back to LabBurstMode and temperature showed us again 128 degrees C.
Maybe this was a planned Helloween trick from the MSI team But this have to be looked at.
System:
2x A8-3850 chips
2x 1866MHz Kingston 4GB
2x 1600MHz OCZ Gold 2GB
MSI A75MA-G55
Asrock A75Pro4-M
500GB WD Black
2x 500GB WD Green
Corsair TX650

I checked the changelogs for the standard BIOS release series of the A75MA-G55. There are two references to "Lab Burst Mode".
The first appears in the changelog for the E7696AMS.138 [v1.3b8] release:
- Change setup item "Enhanced Spread Spectrum" to "Lab Burst Mode".
The second reference appears in the changelog for the E7696AMS.139 [v1.3b9] release:
- Fixed Lab Burst Mode always enable when OC more than 133Mhz successful then load default.
That tells us three things:
1) The option should be available be available in the E7696AMS.130 final release under the name "Lab Burst Mode" and as "Enhanced Spread Spectrum" in all final releases before that.
2) The "old name" for that option suggests that it has to do with "clock modulation" (because that is what Spread Spectrum generally does).
3) Spread Spectrum probably may need to be enabled first in order to get access to the "Lab Burst Mode"/"Enhanced Spread Spectrum" option.

MSI A75MA-G55 won't boot sometimes

Hello,
My system specs:
MSI A75MA-G55
AMD Llano A8-3850
Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C83
Corsair Builder CX430 V2
My system sometimes boots and sometimes not.
Memtest has run a whole night without errors.
Al settings on manual won't help.
Having only one RAM module on the board didn't help.
It looks like the mobo and the RAM aren't broken.
Is it not compatible or what?
I can't update the BIOS because it hangs on making a backup.

No sound in win7 (A75MA-G55)

I have A75MA-G55 mobo, windows 7, latest realtek sound driver but sound doesnt work. When i choose /hardware and sound/sound panel/ , there are PHONES, REPRODUCTORS and DIGITAL SOUND icons, but only DIGITAL SOUND (SPDIF) works. Other two icons are gray and there is written something like "not connected".
note: i had same problem in windows XP and i solved it with disabling autodetection of connected devices (phones, repro) in realtek audio panel. But there is no realtek audio panel in windows 7.
please help.

sounds like you haven't installed the Realtek High Definition Audio Driver so here is the download Page for them http://www.msi.com/product/mb/A75MA-G55.html#/?div=Driver&os=All just select the OS you have and download the drivers as that contains the Realtek control panel too.
that should be installed and do a reboot after installation and you should have control over them again!

A75MA-G55 AMD A8-3850 overheating?

Hi,
I have a ZT systems PC computer (CPU AMD A8 3850), which has a motherboard A75MA-G55. Months ago, it more and more shutdown itself suddenly. I changed a larger power supply (450 W). It had no problem for 2 months. Now, it shutdown again recently. I feel the heat sink is hot when the problem happens.
What step I can do to remove the problem? Any diagnostics procedures? Or, change to an effective heat sink?
Thanks in advance

Quote from: miklkit on 28-August-13, 21:34:33
Has the heat sink ever been cleaned? It could be full of dirt causing it to overheat.
The heatsink does not have dirt. I have changed a 460 W to replace the original 360 W power supply. It was better for a couple of months. I find that when there are more windows open, it will shutdown suddenly. Recently, when I run a computation for 1 hour, it will shutdown suddenly. I can feel the heatsink it very hot. I find that it has much lower temperature when I lower CPU frequency to 2.6 GHz and DRAM frequency to 1033 MHz (I only try to set these as a newbie). The new problem after these BIOS changes is that it cannot sleep under Windows 7 OS. I need sleep function. How can I get right settings to lower CPU while with sleep function?
Does anybody know the BIOS setting tutorial ?
Thanks,

Problems new build A75MA-G55

Hi all,
I put together a new system last weekend, which ran for about 2 days, and then it basically stoppedworking properly. The hardware components are:
MSI A75MA-G55 with an AMD A8-3850
2 x G.Skill Ripjaws-X 8 GB, PC3-12800, 1600 MHz, 9, Non-ECC
SSD Kingston HyperX 120 GB, S-ATA III / 600
Seasonic X-400 Fanless 400 Watt
The whole thing is in a Fractal Design Define Mini box, and the OS is Ubuntu 11.10 x64 version. When it was running, it suddenly froze; after I restarted it, it did not boot and crashes with segfaults and kernel panics (both "normal" Ubuntu and the safe-mode). Once in a while it actually boots (both normal and safe mode) but is not stable and freezes after a few minutes. I have tried the following things, with no result:
- ran memcheck for 24 hours; no errors
- used a different harddisk w/ Ubuntu; no boot
- used new Win7 install and Ubuntu Live USB sticks; no boot
- updated bios to v1.3; this went without errors but still no boot (and re-tried the above again as well)
What I will try in addition is to use a different PSU to ensure that is not the problem.
What I would like to know is, if there is a way to test/validate the motherboard and/or APU without an OS (and another board) and if anyone has any idea what the cause of this can be. Any help/input/ideas is much appreciated!
Thansk in advance,
Joost

SafeMode is not a bad test for possible memory problems, but it doesn't seem to run all that well there either?
Ubuntu is not my department. I was considering a mal-functioning memory, too. What other kind did you try with?
You can also try without the hard disk altogether, and see if things keep running well for an hour or so. Try having BIOS hardware monitor visible during that time, to see if temp. keeps climbing. That is usually evidence processor isn't very fond of your memory.
Use a single stick. Set memory speed down. Make sure memory gets the volts it wants, try 1,65 volts for example.
