Error 55 Msi Z77A-GD65 Gaming

Hi guys,
I'm new in this forum..
I bought a new mainboard this is: MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming.
My components are:
Intel i5 3570K
Asus Geforce 660 2GB
Ram Kingston Hyperx 2x4GB 1866Hz
The problem is, when i started for the first time the PC i read in the display "Error 55", I tried with the RAM in dual channel (1:2)(1:3)(2:4)(3:4) and in single channel with only 1 ram.
What I can do now?Have you already reported this problem? I can't even get into the bios, in practice, I was not able to turn it on the PC.
For more info you can contact me. Thanks and let me know as soon as possible pls.

Do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed, if no change, try with another and different type of RAM.
consult with memory support test list from msi web page

Connection drops - MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming

Hello there.
I've tried to search for a similar issue on the forums, and the interwebs in general, without any luck.
So recently I upgraded almost all the parts in my old computer, including the motherboard which is now a MSI z77A-GD65 gaming motherboard.
So, after my new setup, I'm having troubles with internet connection losses during gameplay.
The connection losses only lasts for around 5-10 seconds before I'm connected to the internet again, and it happens from every half an hour, to not at all, but it is an annoyance when playing games, as you can imagine.
I've been in contact with my internet provider every couple of days for the past week to see if it was a problem at their end. Although I got a new router, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the connection in general. They couldn't see anything on their end at least. And if I plug my laptop to the router via cable, I don't get the dropouts either.
So.. I'm faaairly certain it has something to do with the new hardware, more specifically, the motherboard. But I am not sure.
What I have done, is to check the connection, obviously.
I have also updated all drivers, using the LiveUpdate 5 tool that came with the motherboard (which was pretty intense since it updated the BIOS as well, and after that I couldn't boot until I reset the pins).
Anyways, drivers updated, couldn't find more recent ones.
I've checked if there has been a problem with the servers at the game company of the game I am playing, not the issue either.
Also, the yellow "warning triangle" at the connection icon in the taskbar is also showing for the brief moment of 5-10 seconds (not enough to do a troubleshoot)
I didn't have any problems with connection drops with my old computer, even at 8-9 hour gaming sessions.
Note that there doesn't seem to be any pattern in when the connection drops, as it can be from every half hour, to not at all during an evening of gaming. And there is no connection between what I am currently doing in the games I play, when the connection drops.
I hope you can help me out, because I have no clue at this point.
/thanks

MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming ethernet problem

Hi!
I bought Z77A-GD 65 Gaming motherboard few days ago.
Everything is working except the network adapter.
I cant install the drivers for it because it says that the device is not found.
I checked the windows device manager and its not showing it up either, so is it broken or what?

do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed and try again
else put mainboard out of PC case over wooden table and retry.
what's your current bios version installed?

Z77A-GD65 Gaming

So I just updated my computer from an Asus P8P67-Pro to the MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming motherboard, I also updated my CPU to an i5-3750K. I am having some issues with games crashing, especially Metro Last Light and Far Cry 3.
I checked the CPU and GPU temps and the CPU is maxing out at 51C and the GPU 60C, so I figured it wasn't heat related. Then I ran Memtest86 and discovered that I had some bad RAM. I got some more RAM and installed it and ran Memtest86 again for hour and a half and found that there were no errors.
I also ran Prime95 for two hours and had had no failures. I also monitored the PSU voltages and they appear stable. I have a Corsair HX750 that is not that old and so far it has been rock solid.
So I tried to start Metro again, and sure enough about 5 minutes into the game it crashes. Completely freezing the computer, I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL, sign out and then log back in to get to a usable desktop again.
I don't think the GPU is bad because I can run 3DMark with no issues, also MSI Kombustor causes no issues.
I have also ran Crystal Mark on all of my hard drives and they are producing expected results.
My 3750K has turbo boost OC'd to 42 on each core, but as I have said running Prime95 or any other benchmark causes no crashes.
Also I will add that these games are all within Steam, so possibly it could be the Steam client itself causing the issue.
I am running the lastest Nvidia driver 320.88, but rolled back to 314 and had the same issue.
After replacing the RAM and still having the issue, I have decided just to start with a clean slate and am re-installing Windows 8 Pro and all of the Steam games. But other than that I am at a complete loss, does anyone have any other suggestions?
One last thing, the digital code read out always shows A0 when in Windows, shouldn't it show the CPU temp?
My Specs are:
i5-3750K turbo OC to 42
MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming
16Gb Corsair 1600 RAM
MSI GTX670 PE OC
Samsung 830 256Gb Boot
WD Black 2TB Game drive
WD Black 700Gb Storage drive
Corsair HX750 PSU
Cooler Master 212 Evo

After adding the new RAM everything seemed to be working well, however Metro Last Light still crashes at the same spot. Completely freezes the computer and I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL sign out and then sign back in. Then if I try to launch the game again it immediately crashes, I have to reboot the computer before the game will run and then again it crashes at the same point. I am playing Metro on Steam, please note that this happened before and after I replaced the RAM I completely reinstalled Windows 8 and again the game is crashing at the same point. I did completely reinstall the game when I reinstalled Windows. I figured I would then try to play Crysis 3 on Origin, and am able to play it for about an hour and then it crashes with dxgi_error_device_removed and if I try to relaunch the game it just crashes immediately. I again have to reboot the computer before I can play the game again. The GPU temps never get over 61C, and I have the MSI GTX670 PE OC card. Could the card be defective, or possibly even the motherboard?
I ran Furmark for 15 minutes and had no issues, but I did notice that if I try to start Furmark after a game crash it just crashes as well until I reboot the computer. I was having the issue with the Nvidia 320.18 drivers so I updated to the 320.49 and still the same issue. I am just at a loss here as what to do next.

[SOLVED] motherboard MSI Z77A-GD65 error code B2

hello,
I recently installed an MSI Z77A-GD65.
Here is my config:
- MSI Z77A-GD65
- I5 2500K + Noctua NH U12P-SE2
- KINGSTON Hyper X 1600 Mhz DDR3 4 x 2 GB
- 2 x SSD VERTEX 3 and 4
- POV GTX 660 Ultra Charged 2 go
- WD Caviar 500 GB
- Supply CORSAIR GAMING GS 600
- Case CM HAF932 advanced
I searched all the forums I have not found anything on my problem is the following.
at the first start (after installing the hardware) I got a black screen with the little bar at the top left flashing in the bottom right and "B2" then a black screen with the same small bar but not flashing. On my motherboard I have a set of code that runs and stops at B2. No BIOS.J 'tried everything:
- Move the graphics card
- Exchange up memories, play with the colors of slots, try with only 2 bar, try with 3 instead of 4 memories
- Disconnect the SSD and the HDD, change the connections at the plug SATA, try with HDD only
- Clear CMOS
- Start without devices connected (only with keyboard, mouse and screen)
- Check all my connections and CPU + Noctua
NOTHING .......................... I do not understand

Reading A0, it is at the point of OS loading. A0 is not an error.
Quote from: rastababy972 on 28-October-12, 07:07:05
I tried and I get an error A0 or A2 but nothing on the screen (my screen turns off after a while because no signal)
Even when using the onboard graphics?

Moving on, I will be showing you screenshots of Click Bios II, Control Center in Windows, Sound Blaster Cinema, Killer E2200 and the UEFI Bios.
These are the two windows you will be using to configure your Killer Network. You can assign network priorities with certain softwares. So if you are an online gamer. Ofcourse you will prioritize your games to lower the latency and smoothen out your gameplay.
Now we look into the control panel of the Sound Blaster Cinema. This is an improved version of the previous THX Audio software. You can adjust the bass from here, make audio surround, crystallize the audio to make the sound more clearer and many more…
Control Center configurations and tabs are all the same but the color is changed to black and red and ofcourse the addition of the Dragon logo. Same goes for the Click Bios II Gaming version.
The response of the BIOS is much faster. Tabs are all the same though.
Another set of UEFI screenshots.
That’s it for now and will be updating this with benchmarks stay tuned….

MSI Z77A-GD65 going crazy after Windows 8/8.1 installation.

Hey so I decided to buy a new SSD and update my system to Windows 8.1 (coming from 7), mainly for optimal BF4 gaming experience, (I also intend buying a 290X lightning or two when they come out...) . But during the process I encountered a truckload of problems, my main one is this: I was using bios version 10.7 for almost a year, with a stable 4.8GHz OC (which I managed to get done after each bios flash since I built the rig in early 2012), everything went great - this was on Windows 7.
However when I migrated to Windows 8.1 my PC wouldn't boot anymore and after 5-6 attempts it did boot and it said that all my settings were reset to default, fine. I restarted and from then on it wouldn't boot anymore no matter what. The error code on the mobo is always "19" which in manual says it's Early South Bridge initialization. I have no ideea what to do anymore, I tried plugging out SSD, HDDs, GPUs, RAM sticks, clearing cmos with back panel button. It all boiled down to either not booting or going into a boot loop.
My only solution was to switch to bios B on the multi-bios switch which is running 10.2 an almost 2 years old bios. That beeing said I can boot normally now (and fast), and the system runs great but the bios version is so old that it does not let my 2x680 MSI Lightnings work in PCIE 3.0, only 2.0...
So i'm VERY scared of what to do next, because I don't want this second bios to corrupt as well.
I always flashed my bios with Live update 5, I did this with each new bios release and never had a problem but I read that the latest bios, 10.10 is buggy, and I don't know HOW to flash my bios to an earlier version, maybe even 10.7 or 10.8 in another way. Is there a way to safely flash BOTH bioses and to repair my A bios at the same time?
TL'DR, if there isn't any safe solution to my problem I might as well just press in OC Genie button and have a mild OC until sometimes next year when I'll get a new mb + cpu + ram anyway. But if there is one, please let me know.
Any imput is apreciated, THANKS!

New MSi Z77A - GD65 DIMM problem

I was wondering if anybody else has a similar experience with this.
My build:
i7 - 3770k 3.4 ghz
MSi z77A - GD65
MSi 760 Geforce GTX 4GB VRAM
Rosewill Xtreme RX750 - D - B
3 x 4 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM
So everything wrongs except for the DIMM. The two DIMMs closest to the CPU causes the system to not POST. The debug stays at 55 which indicates that there's no memory. When I installed two sticks into the slots furthest away from the CPU, it boots up just fine.
I tried booting up with one stick in the DIMM furthest away from the CPU for each ram stick. They all result in the system booting up just fine. I tried using 4 x 2 gb RIPJAW ram sticks and again the system errors at 55. The common denominator here is that the two DIMM slots closest to the CPU are not working and causing everything to freak out.
This is my theory on what's going on. I have no idea how to fix this other than returning the board for a new one. Hopefully I can get some suggestions or advice on what to do from here. Maybe my mobo isn't broken, and it's just me doing something wrong. I certainly hope so because I'm a pretty lazy dude. Bought this board because my other mobo didn't boot up. Now this board isn't reading my memory. What gives??? Any help is appreciated.

Enter bios and check if the intel ME firmware is properly installed. If not it will show N/A in the bios.
My PC with the regular Z77A-GD65 worked flawless for a year, then I had problems. My gcard died and I had massive bootproblems. I tried a lot to figure out the reasons. All I could come up with was a faulty board or incompatible memory, like you think you have. I switched from 4x4Gb to 2x8 Gb in slots 2 + 4, but it didn't help.
After I noticed Intel ME firmware wasn't installed, I tried that. I used the forum tool and most important: I used a bios version with Intel ME firmware included. Downloaded it from an attachment in these forums (so don't download bios versions from the official MSI website!). I flashed the bios and everything worked great again!
Try that first, before you start inspecting CPU pins or change to different memory. I installed BIOS version 10.8B3 (beta), but watch out, I think your gaming edition of the Z77A-GD65 has a different bios. Check the forums which (beta) version is the most reliable.

MSI Z77A-GD65 No Post

When I first started my new system, I did get a display and entered the BIOS. I changed the boot order to put my optical drive first, put in a live CD, restarted, and got a black screen. I ejected the CD, restarted, and got a black screen again. I didn't get a display again until I disconnected all my drives whereupon I got a map error and was able to get back into the BIOS. A web search indicated this is a bug that occurs when no drives are connected so I reconnected the drives, restarted, and got a black screen again. I disconnected the drives again and restarted but I got a black screen again (no map error this time). I tried connecting my monitor to the graphics card instead of the motherboard and that didn't work. I tried removing the graphics card and video capture card and that didn't work. I tried clearing the CMOS by pushing the button and even removing the battery for several minutes and that didn't work.
Here's where things get weird. I tried testing the RAM by pulling out one stick and the system kept restarting itself: it would turn on then power off a few seconds later then, after a few seconds, start up again, etc. I had to wait till it powered off and quickly pull out the power supply's cord to get it to stop. I removed that stick and put the other one in instead and the same endless loop of restarting happened again. When I put both sticks back in it stopped restarting.
Since I couldn't get into BIOS A, I switched to BIOS B and got a display again. There was no option to restore BIOS A so I was forced to continue using BIOS B. Since my graphics card was removed at this point, I changed the BIOS to IGD instead of PEG for graphics and shut down. I reconnected my drives then restarted and got a display again and entered the BIOS. I changed the boot order to put my optical drive first, put in a live CD, restarted, and got a black screen. I ejected the CD, restarted and got a black screen. I disconnected the drives and restarted hoping I would get a map error and could get back into the BIOS but got a black screen again. I've tried switching back to BIOS A but still can't get a display.
I tested the RAM by putting it in my old desktop one stick at a time, and then both sticks at once, and it worked fine. I installed the optical drive and one of the hard drives into my old desktop and successfully installed and booted linux off of it with the no problems. The second hard drive does appear to be borked and my old desktop froze when I tried to boot with that drive installed. However I've tried starting my new system multiple times without that damaged drive connected and I still get a black screen so I don't see how it could be the problem.
The LED on the motherboard mostly alternates between 19 and 72. It will run through a bunch of codes too quickly to read then pause for a second on 19 (Early South Bridge Initialization) then run through a bunch of codes too quickly to read then pause for a second on 72 (Late South Bridge Initialization) then go back to 19, etc. I've sometimes also seen it pause for a second on 55 (Early Memory Initialization) and 4F (which doesn't appear in the manual).
I'm guessing it has to be the motherboard or CPU but I don't know which. I don't have another motherboard to test the CPU on and no other CPU to test on this motherboard (the old desktop is AMD).
Hardware:
MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard
Intel Core i5-3570K CPU
G.Skill DDR3-1600 CL9 1.5v 4096MB (x2) RAM (tested in old desktop)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB hard drive (tested in old desktop)
Pioneer BDR-208DBK blu-ray drive (tested in old desktop)
Corsair Obsidian 550D case
Seasonic G Series 550W power supply
Samsung S23B550V monitor (tested with old desktop)
Currently disconnected hardware:
HIS Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition graphics card
Seagate Barracuda 3TB hard drive (believed to be broken)

Test each stick in Dimm 2 (2nd from the cpu) Make sure they are installed into DIMMS 2 & 4 (2nd from cpu and last)
Did you try a full cmos clear on Bios A?
If so, you can recover using this guide:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160450.0
With the z77a-gd65, you will need to flash bios B to version 10.5. In that version in the security section is a multi bios update. Use that and it will recover bios A.
For bios flashing: >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

SOLUTION for my problems with MSI Z77A-GD65 + MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC

Lately I had problems with my GTX 670 video card (MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC) under Windows 7 Pro x64.
I got a lot of "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" errors.
I had these errors once or twice a day, so I didn't really bother looking for an answer, also I couldn't reproduce the error.
Most games just worked fine, but not always... so I tried if I could reproduce the error.
I tried to stress test with MSI Kombustor and voila no windows error... noo... but the core voltage went to 0 mV within a minute and everything (screen / windows / kombustor) stuttered and I had to restart the system.
The strange thing was that the voltage went to 0 mV, but the GPU load went from 96% - 60% and back to 96%... why and how is this possible??
Now I could reproduce my problem... yes!
First I thought it was a driver problem, because I updated it to the newest version (310.70), so I tried to re-install an older driver and also the original MSI driver... no luck.
Maybe it could be a mainboard driver or some settings in windows, so I installed Windows 8... no luck.
Re-installed Windows 7 Pro x64 (basically because Windows 8 s*cks)... no luck.
I tried to put my video card in another system and there was no problem... so I thought my video card is not broken...
Maybe it's my my power supply... new power supply... no luck again... grrrr...
My solution was downgrading / flashing my mainboard (MSI Z77A-GD65) bios back to 1.5 instead of 1.7, because yes... live update had updated my bios... that was the problem.
I wanted to post this, because I couldn't really find the answer for my problem and maybe I can help a few people with the same configuration and problems.
Live well and... well you get the idea

Don't use TF II/TF III parts as they won't fit. Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II or Accelero Mono PLUS are good value for money aftermarket solutions.
Thank you for the information and advice. As I was looking into those two, I noticed that Accelero's website claimed the Accelero Xtreme III would also fit, and NewEgg had it on sale, so that is what I wound up purchasing. It works quite well and is MUCH quieter than the Twin Frozr IV, even before the grinding noise started.
For anyone else considering this, please be aware that the Xtreme III is monstrously huge (it adds several inches to the length of the MSI N670 PE). Make sure you have plenty of room in your case for it.

MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Motherboard Integrated Graphics

Hi i'm a newbie to computer parts and the computer world in general on what does what. I'm only 15 but i'm looking to upgrade my Mobo and CPU I have found a bundle (MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Z77 Motherboard and Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40 GHz Quad Core Unlocked Bundle) on tiger direct and it looks like a good deal. But before I buy it I WAS going to upgrade my GPU before I were to get a new Mobo and CPU. I've done some research on the MSI Z77A-GD65 and I saw it has integrated graphics, but I don't entirely know what that is. I was curious if that's a graphics card and if so what it compares to. I have a Nvidia GTX 9800 graphics card that's fairly old now and I was wondering if a Mobo with integrated graphics acted as a graphics card and if so what it would compare to. If you want to know anymore specs about my computer let me know and i'll be happy to give them out.

It's not the mainboard to have integrated graphics, it's the cpu. The Core i5-3570K has Intel HD Graphics 4000 integrated. The mainboard only offers the output connectors to use it. All current generation Intel cpus have integrated graphics which can be used or not. The HD Graphics 4000 is not meant for gaming of course and would perform worse than your GTX9800 in a 3d game. With a supported mainboard (like the Z77A-GD65) the integrated graphics can be used along the discrete vga for Lucid MVP to better performance and gaming experience (see for more details: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160519.0).

MSI Z97 GD65 GAMING bios A dead

I had been using live update for a couple of years now (I had previous MSI boards), but it crashed a couple of days ago whilst upgrading to 2.7. I have switched to bios b which is running 2.0 (I never touched it before so I would have a default back-up available). Anyway, MFLASH doesn't work, if I use the stated method on these forums it just resets after 5 seconds to bios a and then comes up with the usual 3b leading to F2 reboot loop. I tried the forum updater tool, but that doesn't work with my board anyway as there is no bios available on these boards for the Z97 GD65 Gaming. I tried Win98 DOS with FPT, but I get an error come up saying that FPT.exe is not compatible. Is there any other way to restore bios A? I noticed the FPT link on these board has been removed.
Also, Live update tells me that 2.7 is available, and that's what it tried to update to, but when I check the MSI website, it says that 2.5 is the latest version (which is what I already had installed, so basically live update bricked bios A for no reason whatsoever). Yeah, not happy at the moment.
Any help is much appreciated.
EDIT: Pulled the error log from FPT:
Error 201: [FPT.exe] cannot be run on the current platform.
Please contact your vendor.
