Fixed my MB BIOS problem Today Z68 GD65 G3

Flashed the newest official BIOS from the MSI WEB site and then I had a problem.
The problem was that my Spread Spectrum was unable to be switched to unable in the BIOS.  Worked fine before flashing BIOS.
Problem first happened after using M-Flash method.  Then I flashed it using the Live 5 update method and the problem was still there.  Tried a few different Official and Beta BIOS flavors and the problem remained.  
After trying the official MSI BIOS flashing methods and having problems I then used the bullet proof MSI HQ Forum USB flasher.... Didn't work.  
With each flash I disabled security on the dual BIOS flash and flashed both BIOS chips.  I also tried a BOOT from BIOS on different BIOS flavors.  
Nothing seemed to work to fix my BIOS problem.    
Then like a lighting bolt in the night I saw the light!!        
I fixed my problem by returning the the MB to the store for exchange.  
Problem solved.    

Well we all know this BIOS is a work in progress and for whatever reasons my BIOS is still buggy.  I'm going on my 2nd month of problems trying to get the BIOS to work right.
For the last week I have been trying to get this MB to over clock with auto voltage while maintaining the power efficiency features and increasing the Turbo Boost limits.
With the new MB and new fresh official BIOS my MB still doesn't allow for this feature to work.  I even took my 2500k back to the store to exchange because I thought it may be the CPU.
Great thread to read about setting this configuration up.

  • My motherboard is dead ase to upgrade to the latest beta bios. MSI Z68 GD65 G3

    Good night.
    Yesterday update the motherboard BIOS the 23.7 to 25.6 but had problems with overclocking and stability.
    Update motherboard bios because with 23.7 mi new graphics card had no video signal.
    Today I was recommended to update to a new beta bios, the latest for msi z68 GD65 G3 that could be better.
    The process is completed perfectly with the forum tool.
    Now comes on but restarts constantly. The second bios will not start either. No lights light and remove the memory but makes no noise.
    Clear cmos, remove the battery, ... I have not earned at all.
    Any solutions?

    have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed?
    have you tried to boot with 1 memory stick only?

  • Z68-GD65 Hangs on Starting Windows because of USB Controller. Any fixes?

    Issue: During Windows 7 (32 bit & 64 bit) installation and startup, the computer hangs at "Starting Windows". It will display a pixel or two of the first red part of the logo animation and then stop.
    System Setup/Hardware:
    Mobo - Z68-GD65
    RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB)
    HDD - Corsair Force 3 60GB SSD
    CPU - Intel i5-2400 (Sandybridge)
    PSU - Antec Earth Watts 650W
    GPU - Asus Geforce GTX 560 Ti
    Cause: I found that when I disabled the USB Controller completely from the BIOS, everything worked smoothly (install & startup). If I left the USB Controller enabled and just disabled the Legacy Controller, I would be left with a blinking DOS cursor after POST.
    This is an issue because both keyboard and mouse are USB. I had to borrow an old PS/2 mouse to even install windows.
    Troubleshooting tried:
    - Tried disabling EVERY (and yes, I mean every, I've rebooted this thing 50+ times [stopped keeping track]) setting that can possible be disabled individually
    - Tried unplugged every component except: board, hdd and dvdrom
    - Tried swapping RAM
    - Tried swapping HDDs (to Sata non SSD)
    - Tried swapping PSUs
    - Tried changing Windows 7 install discs (one 32 bit, one 64 bit)
    - Tried removing all motherboard connections (FP audio, FP usb, etc, everything but 24+8pin power)
    - Tried clearing CMOS and resetting BIOS
    - Tried enabling USB Controller via ClickOnce BIOS and restarting
    - Tried fully updating Windows 7 and all drivers (video, mobo, etc)
    - Tried updating BIOS with Live 5
    - Tried leaving only USB 3.0 Controller enabled and plugging mouse/keyboard into those ports (blue on back)
    - Tried Windows repair
    - Tried Windows boot logging (got to file CLASSPNP.sys)
    - Tried booting to Safe Mode
    - Tried banging head on wall  (this was successful in giving me a headache, but not booting the computer)
    I mainly list the troubleshooting above to convey the amount of frustration I've had with this board.
    The USB Controller simply seems bad or the driver (or the way the board interacts/loads the Windows driver) is bad. I must have USB on my computer.
    If I need to RMA, please let me know, however, I would hope there is a solution out there to fix the USB Controller issue. The RMA deadline is the 20th, I hope I can get an answer one way or the other before this as if there is no answer, I will be forced to RMA and go with another product from a different manufacturer (I really wanted to get over my "Asus only" attitude and try you MSI! I've been impressed up until this point, please don't let me down).
    Please help?

    phasedone,
    I was having the exact same issue with a new build (Mobo MSI Z68-GD65-G3).  I had been banging my head against the wall for a while and then I came across your post.  Subsequently, I disabled the USB controller in BIOS and my Win 7 install ran fine (minus the fact that I had no access to my USB keyboard and mouse).   I set the BIOS back to default settings which re-enabled the USB controller, and thus was able to re-plug the mouse and keyboard in after the windows loading screen, where the 4 colored orbs come together to make the Windows flag.  This seemed to do the trick.
    Now the problem is, everytime the computer restarts (i.e. for any Windows updates), it freezes at the same point it would during the installation.  This is again assuming the mouse and keyboard are still plugged into the rear panel USB ports.  Which of course they're going to be!
    Anyone with a recommendation as to how to fix this?  Is this a hardware defect or can it be solved with some sort of driver or firmware update?  I'm at a loss... but I certainly shouldn't have to unplug all USBs before starting the computer, that's just nuts.
    I'm considering RMA as well, but would like to see if any MSI staff members or forum members might be able to share their insight.

    Try the latest bios for the board: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=163866.msg1213416#msg1213416
     In case you want to downgrade afterwards just ask for it and we'll supply you with the needed archive.

    Install the same bios linked above in the quoted post from me >>using the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<. Note that exactly one bios is linked (P80).
    P are ME8 bios versions adding Ivy Bridge support while N versions are older ME7 versions.

  • Z68-GD65 B3 dual bios led

    Hello, so i got the Z68-GD65 a while ago, and as far as i can remember the dual bios led has always been flashing which is really annoying.
    Since im a still "newbie" in computers i looked it up in the manual and i decided to upgrade to the newest bios.
    Of course the led is still blinking even after the update
    I checked everywhere in the BIOS where i can turn the led off, but no luck.
    How can i fix this problem?
    (Don't just tell me to return it to the store, i've got it for a while and just like any person who gets hyped when getting a new system, at the start i missed out on if it was blinking or not)

    Please follow the procedure in the attached file.

  • Unable to restore pre-ivy bios for Z68 GD65 (B3)

    Hello, I unfortunately decided to upgrade my BIOS, but did not heed the "recommendation" of only using the P series bios for my motherboard with ivy bridge CPUs (I have an i5 2500K). I updated the bios to the newest that were on the page for the Z68 GD65 B3 Motherboard (for some reason it won't let me post external links, even to the MSI website...).
    My computer boots and the OS works fine (as do games), even when overclocked. However, when I run prime95 or IBT I bluescreen within seconds (at clocks that previously could pass prime95 for hours with no errors); I have since realized that these bios introduce some issues with sandy bridge CPUs so I want to roll back to the latest non ivy bridge BIOS.
    However, when I try to do so with the 22.8 BIOS and the MSI HQ usb flash utility, I get the "ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS" error, and cannot roll back the bios. Is there any way to roll the bios back, or am I screwed?
    My specs:
    CPU: i5 2500K
    MOBO: MSI Z68 GD65 (B3)
    GPU: XFX 7950 DD
    PSU: Seasonic X750 (62A 12v rail)
    SSD: OCZ Vertex 4 256 GB
    Cooler: Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro
    RAM: G skill ripjaws x 8 GB DDR3 1600
    OS: Windows 7 professional 64 bit
    OC: none on the CPU currently, GPU is OCed but not relevant
    Any help would be appreciated.

     
    Unfortunately the support for B3 boards isn't as well as it is for G3 boards. For your board there is even no beta for months while G3 boards have seen impressive progress. Z68-GD80 G3 for exaple turned into a Sandy and Ivy super oc board. For B3 I have only very little hope.

  • Reporting BIOS problem to MSI

    If anyone could report this BIG BIG issue with the latest Z77A-GD65 BIOS file aka. 10.8B3 to MSI it will be fantastic !
    When you have the latest BIOS 10.8B3 and want to enable Virtu Technology in the BIOS, your PC restarts 4 times in a row until the settings are applied.
    Now i have installed a older bios 10.6, enabled Virtu Technology in BIOS, and the PC restarted as normal, 2 times.
    Could myself send a support ticket to MSI and let them know this, or someone could do this ?

    Hey people, MSI fixed this problem !!! 
    They gave me a new BIOS version, a fixed version for my problem. 10.9B1
    Flashed the new bios, then cmos reset, then put all my overclock config (4.5ghz multiplier, XMP on memory, smart fan speed, disable some features that i don't want) and finally activated Virtu Technology, pressed save bios settings, and the PC restarted only ONE SINGLE time to apply the settings, not two or four times like before.
    Really happy now !!
    PS: But they said after i flash that new fixed bios, to disable Internal PLL Overvoltage. What that setting does, and if it's stable and safe to have it disabled on a multiplier oc. Because when i set the multiplier on a value internal pll puts itself on Enabled by by default.

  • Z68 GD65 G3 7681vP2 ME 8 minor issues.

    Update the bios to 7681vP2.zip following the instructions since the forum flasher didn't work for some odd reason the first time (prolly cause its packed into a exe). It flashed in windows or prepared the USB to flash on boot in DOS which i assume is how the ME part is done at least. The flash went fine and all functionality is retained except a few minor issues.
    i7 2700k
    z68 gd65 g3
    7681vP2 bios
    ME is matching the latest intel driver version wise in both bios/system 8.0.10.1464
    1. You cannot specify your own clock ratio in BIOS, it will set it but when getting into windows it will show stock speeds @ 3.5.
    2. If you use Turbo it will clock to 3.6 and if you enable enchanced turbo it will fluctuate between 3.6/3.9 as specified for intels specs, but not stay at a consistent 3.9 when stressing the CPU with prime/intel burn test. I believe it should stay at 3.9 until the system is freed up cpu wise and not fluctuate at all.
    There are a few new features and settings but none that really stand out for any possible fix. I needed the updated support for the k90 keyboard which is not provided in a "normal" update as there is none thats provided. If i was suppose to flash only the bios and not update ME as i read in another thread well it was not specified clearly anywhere that i could see.
    The updated bios/me seems to offer better vdroop control along with various other features and multiple fixes for previous issues.

    could be that the change log specifically stating that it supports corsair k60/90 keyboards which gave that impression and its working now. as for being unable to set a specific clock its related to a specific setting "Power Technology" setting being disabled despite in previous revisions it had no effect being disabled. all the other sub settings to it are disabled so i am curious as to whats actually being used if its still set to Custom instead of disabled.
    as for reporting i normally would but the process wants me to register the product which i have no intentions doing so at this time. if some other individual wishes to post the issue which is reproducible, also probably affecting ivybridge cpus then they can do so and link the thread.

    BIOS v7.4b2 is a BETA-Release of the BIOS-Series that prepares the upcoming v7.4 Final Version. It is not available for public download and MSI Live Update is not programmed to find it for you.
    Also, as every Windows based flash is inherently risky and much more dangerous than any DOS based flashing mething, I suggest you do not use MSI Live Update for BIOS Updates.  Unless you are prepared and ready to face the increased risk of a bad flash resulting from using this tool, it is in your own best interest to choose a flashing procedure that will update the BIOS from a plain DOS environment.
    I have uploaded the 7.4b2-BIOS (BETA) in the following post.  Flash it at your own risk!

  • MSI GT70 (0NE-452) Refuses to Boot/random shut downs - BIOS problem?

    Hello,
    I recently purchased a MSI GT70 0NE-452 laptop from Xotic PC. It came with Windows 8, but since Windows 8 broke most of Adobe Premiere, Vegas, and After Effects, I wiped the RAID0 SSDs and installed Windows 7. I've reinstalled all the drivers and have been comfortably setup for about a week or 2. Unfortunately now, the laptop has been behaving strangely.
    1) Random shutdowns, regardless of whether I'm connected to power or not. And I know it isn't because the battery died. (This might be fixed now since I downloaded another driver for the CPU Thermal  Control)
    2) Laptop won't turn on first-try. I press the power button and the power button flashes orange but nothing happens. It will only turn on once I've removed the battery and put it back in.
    I have a feeling this could be a BIOS problem, and possibly attributable to the Windows 7 reformat, but I'm not sure. My BIOS is currently: American Megatrends Inc E1762MS.50U, 11/23/12.
    The MSI website for my model has a Bios update:
    Release Date: 2012-12-14
    Description: Fix HDMI/DP hot plug no function after S3 resume
    Non-Win8
    E1762IMS.30R
    Can someone please advise? Should I try my hand at flashing the BIOS with this update and hope it solves the problem, or should I just call MSI and get it fixed by them?
    Any help is much appreciated, thank you very much!

    I'll take your advice but can you clarify a bit? Is it something beyond a BIOS repair?

  • G580 (20150) Running slow, Bios problem

    Hello 
    I got a little problem with my lenovo g580.
    Not a long time ago i downloaded the bios update from the site and I did everything right but after my laptop restarted I got the message that said that I have to put in the disk of some sort so I checked on the internet if there is something I could do about that. I went to bios and changed the boot option to Legacy BIOS boot mode but after that everything worked fine but after that I noticed performance decrease on the laptop (Longer boot and longer wait time to open programs for about 1st few minutes after the boot).
    I would like to use Lenovo recovery program to recover system setting to the factory setting but IM scared to do that cause of the bios problem I had.
    I would really like someone to help me with this problem.
    Best Regards

    Hi SloAki,

  • Need help, i'm suspecting its a BIOS problem

    I dunno whether i should consider this a BIOS problem or something. But I hope someone could help me find the fault.
    Okay, here goes:
    When i first turned on my computer, i had this strange BIOS error (I could not remember sorry), then my PC rebooted as usual, but after the Windows XP loading screen, a black screen and a cursor appears, and the PC hangs. I rebooted the PC and my monitor could not receive a signal from the CPU. I tried using my old analog display cable, but it did not work. I then tried plugging the monitor to my laptop. It worked. Then I tried replacing my Radeon 9600XT with my old Geforce 2 MX, but again, it did not work. I checked the inside of the PC and all of the fans (the mobo and the graphic card ) were working.(This was before i plugged in the Geforce2 MX card). I also tried resetting the bios, but it did not work.
    Here's my specs
    P4C 3.0GHZ
    MSI Neo2-S 865PE
    2x 256mb Kingston HyperX
    Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600XT
    120GB Maxtor SATA HDD
    30GB Maxtor IDE HDD
    Creative Audigy 2 ZS
    Iomega CD-R
    one DVD drive
    Eizo 15" LCD monitor
    I'm totally clueless.. any help would be greatly appreciated

    What s y a running? Anything like style xp?
    I've had a prob with the thing after I installed it and combined it with
    TweakXP pro4 & SP2 .  
    I then owned a Fujitsu-Siemens TFT and when I switched it to auto mode,
    it sometimes was fixed. Check if there is an auto-function on your CRT.
    Problem is, according to me, something with the Kernel.
    Should try booting it with the orginal boot.ini.
    But just to be sure:
    Enter the bios, load optimized bios. Could check to be sure if the
    aparture size of the AGP is set to the amount of mem available
    on the GraphCard and check if the sequence AGP/PCI is there.
    During boot, F7 see whats available for OS and take the orignal boot file.
    Could try in the boot.ini to delete the /kernel at the end of the sentence.
    Dunno if it's gonna help you but it helped me.

  • Z68-GD65 (G3) new build... some questions

    Hey guy,
    Just finished my build with the motherboard in the title. Everything seems to be running fine, got windows installed with no probs. Just got a couple of questions, when i turn my computer on and it starts to boot the beep it does is quite long, a bit longer than i'm used to with computers, used to hearing a short quick beep. Is the beep i'm hearing normal for this board?
    Also as it's booting up on the bottom right of the screen 99 pops up and so does A2 not sure if anything else pops up as it happens pretty quickly. Just wondering what these mean and if there might be anything wrong? Everything seems fine with it.
    Spec is
    motherboard:- Z68-GD65 (G3)
    processor:- Inter i5 2500k, running stock settings
    ram:-4gb corsair xms3 1600mhz
    gpu:- msi n560gtx twin frozr oc 1028mb
    ssd:- crucial m4 128gb
    Any help would be great
    Cheers
    Alex.

    Thanks for the quick response  . I feel better now i know what the numbers are for.
    I guessing the booting beep is fine too, this isn't my board but it sounds like the first beep, mine doesn't do the extra beeps. It's just longer than im used too after using other systems, i'm sure a long beep like that means a memory prob or gpu prob. It's probably all fine as the system seems to be running with no problems.
    Cheers

  • Power of the Press - MSI Neo4 SLI Bios Problem

    For those interested, I just sent this to hardocp because they did the review on the MSI SLI Platinum.  Since MSI headlines this review on their website, maybe hardocp can do something about this bios problem.  Enjoy and please send more emails to hardocp so we can get this problem addressed!  Believe me, Ive seen this works with washington politicians, I know it can work if we all do it.
    I appreciate companies like yours doing extensive reviews about products.  However, your review caused me and a whole bunch of others to purchase this board with enormous problems associated with it (check out the msi forums).  The problem is that this board works only for 130nm chips in which you tested on.  On the newer amd 90nm chips, this board is the worst performing sli board out in the marketplace (for both winni and venice core chips).  You need to do something to stop people from buying this board because its just awful and the folks from MSI are silent on the subject.
    It's gotten so bad that people have gone out and purchased other sli boards, transferred all of the equipment out of it and into the new one and guess what...voila, no problems.  Anyway, some of those in the other user forums had the same problem but those other manufacturers quickly fixed the problem.  Its just getting worse and worse.  I feel like both msi (and I am MAD) and reviewers like you (unless you don't know about the problem) are silent on this and its cost me hard earned MONEY ($175 for the mobo) and hours and hours of time...
    You have a LOT OF POWER with MSI and I can see it because they headline your review on their website (power of the press).   For Gods sake, please do something before others make the same mistake or if you can get MSI to allocate resources to fix the problem...you would be HEROs!  Thank you.

    Ok, I guess I am confused some, where is the issue with the new cores? I have no issues running the San Diego core and the my memory at the listed and published speeds.....
    Quote
    Also is your MOBO the SLI type? I run the SLI Neo4 with a San Diego core without any issues. In fact I dropped it in and booted using the San Diego as a direct replacement for a older (if 6 months is old!!) 3500. I have OC'ed with Corecetner as far as I can push it and runs awesome!
    Quote
    GUys, I am not sure exactly what issues you are experiencing as there can be MANY factors! But my SLI Neo is running awesome! It overclocks (no Tiresmoke, i won't go into that in this forum  ) and has NEVER once BSOD, or rebooted or even crashed! Not once and I push the crap out of this as it is my gaming box.  Also TS you are SO correct on the clock settings on the ultras, you gotts make sure they are the same or it will cause issues. The only thing I am kinda bummed about is the lack of real performance with the dual 6800 Ultra's, but that is a Nvidia issue not MSI. Guys I may be blessed, but I have run three Neo MSI brds, 2 939 and 1 754 and never had any issues....

    I have yet to experience any boot/reboot issues...So I think we should wait to hear more from this person before we assume anything...

    According to MSI, the Neo4 will work fine with the new cores, the Neo2 will need a bios upgrade

    I set my brd up the first time for SLI with dual cards and have never had any issues..Sorry guys, but I guess it's the luck of the draw, but I have yet to ever ave an issue with any MSI brds..I have a Neo2,Neo4 and the older 754 slot Neo..no issues.

    Look, I have already been threatened to be banned because of my sarcastic replies to you.  Read every one of your responses I listed.  Obviously OTHERS are having problems.  WHY don't you help them instead of TAUNTING people that yours works.  They are upset, and you make them feel dumb like it's their fault. 
    Man I have tried to contribute so much to this issue that at least 20 different members here are having, I have tested with an Asus SLI board, I have tried different BIOS's and posted results, I have theorized with others and I feel like you are slapping me in the face by restating time and time again "what problem mine works great"i
    I'm on a verbal warning because I didn't have respect for you.  Well how are you respecting the other people who have problems by saying you don't know what their issue is.  Read up on it or help them, instead of creating tension. Please?
