Did I just brick my board? MSI P67A-GD55

So I decided to flash my BIOS to the newest version. I downloaded the newest BIOS and proceeded to flash the BIOS with the MSI utility. After the computer restarted it beeped a couple of times like usual, but it did not continue to windows after that and the screen went black. I saw that the USB stick was being used(light on the USB stick was flashing) so I didn't do anything.
But even after about 45 minutes nothing at happened, the screen was still black. I was reading around online and some people said to clear the CMOS if this happens. After I cleared CMOS and restarted the computer, I got no beeps and no video signal at all. And now nothing happens at all. It does not even beep like usual.
I removed all the ram and restarted the computer and that time I got 3 long beeps. When I put them back in nothing happened like before. So did I brick my board? Is there any way to bring this board back to life? This board was advertised as having a Bios recovery feature(M flash) anyone know how I can use that?
Thanks for your help.
BTW, I am already going to get a new board, but I won't have it until at least the end of this month. Anyone know how long MSI RMAs take? Will they even RMA the board?
Not related, but I was also having a problem with fan control on this motherboard. No matter what the CPU fan would run at max speed.
Specs of my build:
i7 2700K
MSI P67A GD 55 Rev B
16GB Team 1600Mhz RAM
MSI 660Ti PE OC
520W Antec Neo Eco PSU
1 TB Seagate Barracuda

If you sent it to MSI in the USA, that is odd as they usually turn things around in 7 working days. If it is a re-seller or outside of the USA it is hard to say how long it will take.
In the usa to check for status, email [email protected] Place the RMA# in your subject and ask for an update.
Yeah this is in the US, the place I sent the motherboard to is only like 3 hours from my house actually.
I'll send them a email. Their online tracker doesn't seem to be updated that often and I can't even go to the tracking page right now for some reason.

MSI P67A-GD55 B3 cannot detect Solid State Drive

Hello Everyone!
I bought and installed a MSI P67A-GD55 B3, very happy about it, all perfect, with the exception that it cannot detect the Solid State Drive (OCZ SATA II --> Vertex 2).
The standard Hard disk (SATA II as well) works fine ...
Anyone with the same problem? Any Idea?
Thanks!

Did you try going to the bios and going to onboard chipset for sata and put in AHCI mode for sat type. This has to be done for the SSD Drive to respond. Hope this helps
Not true, a working SSD will be identified by the BIOS regardless of what mode the SATA controller is set to.

I suggest that you test with one piece of RAM at a time. It may be a RAM problem.
Do post the code of the BSOD here to let us identify what the exact problem may be.

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 P67A-GD55 stock VCIO overvolted !

Hi everyone !
I'm coming here for a little help .
When I let the voltage on "AUTO" in the bios , it set the VCIO voltage to 1.25v which is a little to high
I manually set it to 1.05v like it should be , but I'm afraid of bios error like that O_o
It does this since i updated the bios to the last one (1.J)
I'm using a P67A-GD55 (B3) bought 1 week ago with a nice and shiny core i7 2600k on it ^^
So , should I right an email to MSI support to inform them of the bug or maybe it's a well-known bug and they are working on it (last bios is a bit old ...)
Thanks

Flash back to the previous BIOS version and report your finding to technical. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Please use the forum flasher to flash back. >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

NovJoe@ it is showned as limited connectivity. It does say that there is a LAN plugged in, but with no internet connection.
There is a green light in middle, which is stable and a orange light on top which is blinking. It is the same as when it's working.
If the connection shows limited connectivity, your system is actually hotwired to the router already and the hardware are fine on your system.
What causes this to happen are 2 scenarios, one of them may need you to configure your IPv4 LAN Protocol aka I.P. address, Gateway, Subnet and DNS address in your LAN Properties. The other may be due to the Network Filtering which your router may be configured to control the access of systems accessing it, at the same time, it may also be configured to do DHCP I.P. address allocation for the pre-configured MAC addresses. In other words, you need to configure either your LAN properties in Windows or your router or both, in-order to allow your current system to be allowed to access for Internet connectivity.

If you have or can borrow a digital multimeter, please check the DRAM V. at the V-Checkpoint. It may need to be set higher. For DDR3, 1.575v's is the upper end of the 1.50v. standard. 1.65v's is considered the maximum.
I'm taking a guess that OC Genie set my DRAM V. a bit too high:

When I went to change Intel SVID to APS, I noticed that the feature was set completely to disabled. Is it safe to change to APS from Disabled?

Hi, i have a bit of problem after trying to flash my bios to E7681IMS.1J0 (v1.19).
I used the USB flash tool (mode 1), and used a archive posted on the forum. Everything seemed fine, "update completed succesfully", i shut down computer and cleared CMOS, went into bios and loaded optimized defaults.
In Bios I could see the updated Bios version. So in Bios everything was working fine. But after i saved my settings and tried booting into windows i only get to "windows starting", then blue screen and computer restarts. I tried to do another Cmos reset but it didnt work, and the same thing happend a couple of more times. Right now im in a loop where the computer starts for a couple of seconds and then restarts almost immediatly, so i cant go into BIOS.
Any help is appreciated!

When the computer was new i had problem with the XMP profile. The computer would randomly crash in games or when browsing the web, but never any problems during startup. I had to change DRAM Frequency to 1333MHZ, i keept DRAM Voltage at 1.65v. With the CMOS reset, the DRAM Voltage is set to about 1.48v and 1333MHZ.
EDIT2:
Changing DRAM voltage did not make a difference. Should i try to make the bios recovery: "How can I recover the BIOS on my MSI motherboard"?
no the problem is not in BIOS, you no need bios recovery.
Quote
After disconnecting CD/DVD and HDD i am now able to enter BIOS.
which one exactly? find the reason what cause you not to enter in bios setup
about OS you may need OS reinstall since you are flashing from very old BIOS version to the latest one with ME7
in some case it may need OS reinstall
assume if everything else is set right: SATA Mode , and no stability issues

MSI P67A-C45 B3 Problems

Hello,
I recently bought a main board MSI P67A-C45 B3 from a shop in my country ( Romania ) and i had a problem with it as soon as it got home.
I installed all the new components that i got, plugged all the devices, but my computer did not start. I pushed the power on button, but it only stayed on for like 2-3 seconds and then turned off, and it repeated this cycle without me having to push the power on button. I took all the components to the shop i bought them from, so they could tell me whats there to do with my new computer. After a couple of hours they called me and told me that the main board had one pin bent in the CPU slot. I don't think that i could have bent one pin, I've done this before in the past, and this never happened to me.
What I'm really asking :
Is it possible, out of 1155 pins , for only one pin to be bent when plugging the CPU in its slot ?
And ,
Can one bent pin be the cause of my computers problem ?
Was i just scammed and put to pay another main board, or is it true what they are telling me ?
Thanks

Yes, just one bent pin can cause this, you can fix this probably though.
*You can bend those pins by breathing on them too heavily (joke) don't feel like you are the only one to do this.
Get a really bright light and a magnifying glass and find the pin and move it back into place with an eyeglass screw driver or other very small object.
You also may be able to get msi to repair it for you.
If you can get it fixed yourself, try MSI:
