FF code on MSI 990fx-GD80V2 mother board

So here is the issue. A couple weeks ago my computer crashed. When i say crashed, it just completely turned off instantly. After re powering the machine, i get no video but everything powers up, all fans spin, graphics card led lights come on etc. To put a long story short, after investigation i assumed it was the mother board and/or processor and replaced them both. During this process i had to RMA a bad 990fx-gd80v2... now i have another one and it is doing the same damn thing the original one was doing. Everything powers up but there is the pesky FF code on the led post read out. Guys i have done everything within my IT knowledge base to test and fix this issue. Now i am asking for your help. I have also replaced the power supply just in case. I have tested all boards in a bench setup on cardboard, tested each individual stick of ram, tested multiple processors and psu's...is it possible i got ANOTHER bad board or is this something crazy to do with the BIOS?
Specs are as follows
MSI 990fx-Gd80v2 mainboard
Amd 8120 zambezi eight core processor with stock cooler (was liquid cooled with original board but removed)
16gb G-SKill Ripjaw series DDR3
EVGA Geforce GTX 590 Classified 3GB
Silverstone 1500 watt PSU
2 Seagate Barracuda 7200 1TB sata drives
Blu-Ray drive
6 fans ranging from 80mm to 150mm
Any input would help. Thanks guys.

When you get them, install just 1 stick of memory and do a full cmos clear. If it works, check the bios version and if it stable update to the most recent.
That cpu requires B5, which I think the v2 ships with:
7640vB5.zip
So long as the bios is at leave b5, go ahead and add the other stick and go from there. You can also try just a single stick of the memory you already have, then switch them, perhaps 1 stick is bad.
let us know how it turns out.

MSI H55M-E23 Mother Board is it compatible with Usb 3.0?

Just curios if the MSI H55M-E23 Mother Board is it compatible with Usb 3.0?
Thank you!

if you are asking if its able to use a USB 3.0 Device then the answer is yes but it will operate at USB2.0 speeds only on the ports as they are only USB 2.0 ports and USB 3.0 devices are backward compatible and can be used on USB 1.0a and USB 2.0 ports but will work only at the USB revision speed its connected to!

Power supply for MSI 645 Ultra mother board

I need to replace the power supply for a MSI 645 Ultra mother board. I've available a switching power supply Allied model DR-B500E, that doesn't have the -5V output (infact its 20 pin ATX power supply connector has no wire in pin 18).
Can I use this power supply with the MSI 645 Ultra?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi, here I am. Sorry for delay but I had some problems with the PC (as NTLDR missing).
However now is ok and I can confirm that it runs ok also with power supply without -5V output.
Thanks a lot for the support and best wishes for Christmas and new year.

MSI 890GXM-G65 mother board help

Hi, need some major help. I just got a MSI 890GXM-G65 mother board / AMD Phenom II X6 processor. Installed it in the Antec Fusion Micro ATX case and the fans spin, seems like everything is powering but no video from the onboard video. I’m using a corsair vx 550 powersupply. No matter what I try I can get anything on the monitor. Is this a grounding issue? Powersupply not good enough? I just tried taking the memory out to see if it would beep and nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Here are the full stats on my pc:
AMD Phenom II X6 1055t, Windows 64 Ultimate

MSI Z77A - GD55 mother board. Does not start.

Hi
My completely new computer does not start. It's completely dead. (worked fine yesterday)
There is a power button / lamp on the mother board, it blinks continually when power is connected. Nothing at all happens when I press the computers power button or the power button on the mother board.
Is this a problem with the mother board or could it be the power supply that has failed?
thanks for any help at all

My system:
Cool Master HAF X Big Tower
MSI Z77A - GD55 Socket 1155
XFX ProSeries Core Edition 550W PSU
Intel LGA1155 Core i7 - 3770
Corsair Cooling Hydro H60 CPU cooler
Corsair XMS3 1600MHz 16GB Vengance CL9
Gainward GeForce GTX670 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E
Samsung SSD 830 Series 256GB BK SATA3.0
I have yet not tested to do any changes on the hardware. I have only tested switching power cable. (not sure why it would help, but I tried it anyway)

MSI BIOS Beeps and Mother Board Issues

Hi gang,
I am new to this forum. I am a tech at a small town PC store. I have an msi mother board that is throwing an error beep that I have never heard before. The beeps go something like this 1-2 a high pitch beep, then a low pitch beep. The mother board is the MS 6526 Ver. 2. I have tried another video card and the board will still do the same thing. The mother board does not act this way all of the time. Sometimes the machine boots fine and runs perfect. I have noticed that when restarting the machine, the problem occurs there most of the time. the machine will reboot and set there with an amber light on the monitor. I can turn the machine on and off a couple of times and then it will boot and run; this pattern is not consistant. I felt that it could be a bad processor or mother board. Any ideas?
Thanks

If the beep code is 1 long beep followed by 2 short beeps then that's indicating a problem with the display card. Perhaps it could even be an issue with the slot itself. If you try a PCI graphics card instead of AGP do you still get the issue? Have you tried a different power supply too?

HELP why wont my msi z97 gaming 9 mother board find my msi N770 graphics card ?

have built a new gaming PC from scratch based around the MSI Z97 gaming 9 motherboard and the MSI NVIDIA GTX 770 graphics card i have installed all the drivers for the mother board and everything seems to be ok i have then used live update to update all the drivers and bios.
i then installed the graphics card and it powers up and the fans start but my pc isn't recognising the fact that is exists helps please

Recheck your WiFi Bluetooth expansion module connection on the board.
Recheck your MB mounting in the case, i.e. errant standoffs. Perhaps test the board outside the case on a non conductive surface to ensure no potential short exists. Then retest with the WiFi plugged in.

PROBLEM WITH MS 7522 VER 3.1 MOTHER BOARD

hey guys,
need some help here. my setup is a MS-7522 ver 3.1 mother board.
6GB RAM
MSI GEFORCE N470 GTX
WINDOWS 7 PRO 64BIT
since i bought it from last year, its not stable and having an occasionally blue screen specially
when using it with heavy processing softwares such as 3dsmax and adobe cs4.
what i did the past 2 days ago is i reformatted and reinstall a fresh windows 7 pro OEM OS.
still, having some occassionally blue screen about memory management. i installed a whocrashed software
and diagnosed it resulting a driver problem and kernel stuffs.
another thing, when i update the win 7. it wont install almost around 70 important updates.
i also diagnose the RAM using the windows memory dump diagnostic but so far it succeeded the test.
i also tried to update the BIOS using a USB boot. im still having the same problem...
what can cause such problem? is it the motherboard, the ram, or the graphics card? driver issues maybe?
hoping i can find answers here and suggest what can i do to fix this.
thanks.

Run memtest instead of windows memory dump to check the RAM.
What types of heavy processing are you referring to?
I ran CS3 and CS5 on my systems including laptops which runs on Win 7 64bit as well. All of them have no problems rendering images which are in PSB Large Format for Adobe which can be about 6GB per image. Usually, such rendering takes hours to complete and loads the system's memory the most.
If after testing the RAMs with memtest individually for at least 12 hours each and all return with no error, the only driver problem I will suspect is with graphics card, try downloading the latest driver from MSI website for the GPU and see if it solves the problem.

How can I re-activate eBooks in Adobe Digital Editions after changing the mother board of my MacBookPro?

After changing the mother board of my MacBookPro to fix the video display issue, all my previous eBooks in Adobe Digital Editions cannot be activated. The error message: "Activation Server error - code E_ADEPT_INTERNAL". Please advise what I can do to read my eBooks again?

Hmm, it shouldn't be that much of a problem. I searched my entire drive for "digital editions", and this is the whole thing:
/Applications/Adobe Digital Editions 3.0.app
/Users/user/Library/Caches/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app
/Users/user/Documents/Digital Editions
/Users/user/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.bom
/private/var/db/receipts/com.adobe.adobedigitaleditions.app.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.DigitalEditions.plist
The application itself, three small files scattered in your user account, to unimportant installation receipt files, and another preference file in the root Library folder. Removing those should remove everything related to version 3, which is what I have installed.
Where I substituted "user" above (for the three entries of /Users/user/...), replace that with whatever the actual name of your user account is.
Edit: I double checked the installer using a small app that sorts out every file in an installer, and where each item would normally be installed. The main app is literally the only item in the installer. The receipts are created by the OS per the installer's data, and the other minor preference files are created when the app is first run. There is nothing else.

Upgrading to a MSI kt4-ultra FISR board.....

Currently I've got a gigabyte motherboard and I want to upgrade to an: MSI kt4-ultra FISR board. Can I just pull my old board out and install the MSI board with all my old hardware, O/S already on harddrive - and do a start up, or will I run into errors and problems when I try this? Currently my system looks like this:
1) Case: "Xaser SC5000BWII" 400watt mid-tower case
2) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-7DXR DDR+Raid
3) CPU Chip: AMD Athon XP 1800 1.6Ghz
4) Memory: 512 of PC2100 DDR266 Memory
5) AudioCard: Creative SoundBlaster Audigy MP3 card
6) VideoCard: ATI RADEON 9000pro, 128 DDR
7) Hard Drive: Maxtor 80GB 7200RPM ATA-133 "D740X" Mdl:6L080J4
8) Operating System: Ms Windows XP Pro
Thanks for the help........ seboyd ?( :D 8)

A clean install will give you 30 days to reactivate and it only takes a 5 minute call to get the new #s. Pretty simple and much easier than trying to straighten out all the error codes from old O S. I did however move an XP harddrive from a Turbo2 to a KT4 without a new install but they were both MSI boards. A clean install also gets rid of all the junk that accumulates. Just enter bios and make the CD rom 1 st boot . BIGDADDY51 CT. USA :D 8) :D

K9AGM2 Mother Board, Related to the USB Ports

I have had this Mother Board for about 3 years now and ever since I have had it. I can't seem to get any speed out of the USB ports. They all seem to be 1.1 and they should support 2.0. I downloaded Live Update 5 and installed some drivers and carp like that. I scanned the drivers for virus and so on and I still can't get any speed. I try and copy files from my HDD to a USB 2.0 SATA Drive and I can't get any thing better then 4.x to 5.x Mbps. and using USB 2.0. I should be able to get 480Mbps. I didn't see any thing in the Bios to change it or to set it. It seems to be running at 1.1 speed.
Does any one have any ideas on how to get these USB ports working up to speed.

Sorry, No that didn't work. and from what I been reading that 480 Mbps is not a theoretical. From what I have fount that the drivers are not setup and that the drivers should say USB2 in the descriptions and they don't on my PC. I have 4 other PC's and they all have USB2 in the descriptions in the Drivers list. So for some reason this PC has defaulted back to USB 1.1. and I don't know why.
I tried to update the drivers. I tried to remove them and reboot. and I still get the same results. when I try and copy 2 gigs worth of file from my HDD to my Flash Drive and it says I will take 3 hours to do that. Then I know there's some thing wrong. I tried the same thing on one of my other PC's and when I copy 2 gigs worth of files from my HDD to my flash drive and it it only take 5 sec's. Again. There's some thing wrong with this PC
I'll have to call MSI Support on Monday. Unless you have any ideas, I been searching for some results on google.com my mother board didn't match with what they have. What I did find, that it has to relate to the PCI Bus. And I updated those drivers with Live Update 5.

Weird Problem with Mother Board/CPU

English is not my native language so if you don't understand something I will correct my post.
I bought a new PC 1 month ago.
hxxp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documentlc=en&lang=en&cc=us&product=425916&dlc=en&docname=c00189405
I only paid 50$ because the store did not know what was the problem.
I changed the orignal mother board for a 865g-m.
The computer always boot correctly until I add/remove hardware from it...
Last night I removed the the 256 mb dimm and replaced them with 2* 512 MB. It was working ok until I decided to put back the 256 mb DIMM to ad an extra 256 mb(without removing the new DIMMs). Since that my PC won't boot, my screen light stays orange, the hard drive don't make any sounds. The Back fan and the CPU fan are workging...
So I removed the 256MB DIMM and the PC still won't boot.
The last time I had this problem I reseted the BIOS/CMOS and the problem was solved. But sometimes I had to resest the bios a few times to solve the problem.
Now I tried to reset my bios 5 times and the problem is still here...
The PC speaker do not make any sounds.
I removed all IDE drives + the flopy drive + all the front and back USB/Firewire/on board sond card connecter
Could it be the CPU since I already changed the original mother board.
I think it's the CPU but could it be the power suply ?
Anyone already dealed with a similar problem ?
Is it possible that the CPU is making that kind of problem. (I added a 256 mb DIMM tried to boot with bad result so I removed the 256 mb DIMM and I cannot boot anymore)
thanks
By surfing on the ECS website I noticed that my mother board SPEC are not the same as the one on this website... For exemple I have 2 SATA slot but on the product specification website there is none.. Even the product picture is not correct...
On this link you will find the website product spec :
msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=495
On the second link you will find my real mother board
cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=80159&item=6830055645
On my mother board there is a sticker with the name "865g-m"
Can anyone help ? Since I need the real motherboard spec if I want to change the CPU

Adding RAM = make sure you have the power!
My bet here is that your power supply is to blame. Your sig line says "compact power suply" and that cant be good. Most of the time manufatures try to cut down the costs but useing cheap power supplies.
Best case: its just your power supply that you need to get a quality name brand...antec..ocz..and so on.
Worst case: i have heard that sometimes the manufactures have a certain voltage on thier power supplies that will only work with thier mother baord. I heard that dell does this. So if you mix and match the psu and a different board...well it wont be good.
I say get new power supply, if that doesnt work just return it.

Are these 2 different mother boards

I have ordered a MSI K8 NEO PLATINUM MOTHER BOARD. Is this a different mother board than a MSIk8N neo platinum

It is either the K8T or the K8N.
