H55M-E33/H55M-P31 Motherboard

I installed an H55M-E33/H55M-P31 Motherboard with an Intel Core i3 530 2.93 Ghz Processor and 4 Gb of RAM. I am running Windows XP Professional on the computer and want to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro. The on-board graphics card cannot get 1366x728 resolution which Windows 8 requires in order to be able to work. What can I do to get this system to meet that minimum graphic resolution requirement? The motherboard does not have an AGP slot on it. Which video card solution could I use, or am I looking at having to upgrade the motherboard?

H55M-E33/H55M-P31

Everything on my motherboard powers on including fans graphics card and hard drive. It starts up and nothing displays and the computer turns itself off after 30 seconds or 2 minutes. My power supply is 520 w made by antec I don't know what's wrong with it I've unplugged all the cords and plug them in the correct spots and I've tried everything else possible I have never experienced a problem like this and I don't know what to do

MSI H55M-E33 MB OC

Hello everyone!
I got an MSI H55M-E33 mother board paired with an i5-760 currently running at 3.6 ghz, unfortunately thats the maximum i ever managed to get it to, i was wondering if anyone has the mentioned motherboard and ever managed to get to 3.8 or 4.0 ghz oc.
I have bios version 1.0, was always paranoid to flash it to a newer one since i never had issues with it, the annoying thing is i cant seem to find the QPI/VTT voltage option so my oc is that limited, i asked around and i have been told the newer versions of the bios still dont include the option but im sceptic to be honest, there must be the option now a days!!. If anyone has the latest bios version for this mobo can you confirm its got all the required options to be able to run this cpu at 4.0 ghz?, if the options are not there, how the hell did you manage to get to 4.0 ghz with just the vcore voltage control!?
Thanks in advance everyone.

There are potentially two reasons for that.
1. The components on the lower end boards are unable to cope with higher overclocks and the increased power requirements with such higher OC's add the risk of board component failure.
2. The control circuits for manually adjusting these values just don't exist, meaning that even if they could add the lines in the BIOS, you still won't be able to change the values.
You have probably exhausted the OC potential of that board.

Can't Install Windows on H55M-E33

I just bought this new sets of PC :
Processor : Intel Core i3 550 3.2Ghz Box
Motherboard : MSI H55M-E33
Memory : Team Elite Dual Kit 2*1 GB TED32048M1333HC9DC (I assume PC10600) Timing : 9-9-9-24
VGA : GeForce GTS450 1Ghz
Harddisk : Hitachi SATA 1TB
Maxtor IDE 160GB (this one is old stuff)
The Main problem here is when i tried installing windows, I kept being told by setup that a random file is somewhat corrupted and sometimes end up with BSOD like BAD_POOL_HEADER or ERROR_IN_NONPAGED bla bla. Sometimes it don't. Anybody knows what happen here ?
NB : Actually this don't happen just with XP, Also with Vista and Windows 7, So I ended up with a piece of electronic junk

How much RAM do you intend to use? 2GB or 4GB.
This is what I use and is very good top quality RAM and is what I always recommend for H55/H55M/H57M in particular and just about all the rest in general. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148262
"(i prefer 1333 so i can still pair it with my old memory)"
By that do you mean mixing your current RAM with other new RAM?
You should not mix RAM brands, sizes, speeds or whatever. Sometimes you get lucky and it works OK but more often it's just one problem after another when you do mix like that.

H55M-E33 Turbo Boost Problem

Hi guys, I have an i5 750 installed on my H55M-E33, but I cannot find the option to turn turbo boost on.
Does this motherboard support it?

Quote from: fanta on 04-March-10, 05:17:36
Do you have the prerequisites for the turbo boost feature to be shown in the bios?
For my particular board p55-cd53, The turbo boost option is not shown unless intel EIST is enabled.
I did check out the manual for the board and there was no mention of turbo boost (well that I could find). Now with that said, they have your cpu listed as supported since v1.0 bios, so I imagine the feature is there.
Cheers
Thanks man that did the trick. I enabled EIST, rebooted and turbo boost appeared in the cell menu!
Strange there is no mention of this in the manual though.....
Cheers

Please help H55M-E33 no Post with Onboard graphics but...

Hi i have a H55M-E33 board with a Intel Corei 3 550 Cpu
I have a ATI HD 5770 installed and everything works fine i am in windows as i post this but the problem is I want to remove the ATI card and use the integrated graphics on the Corei 3 550
so I reboot the PC and go into the bios and select onboard graphics as my default selection then shut down the PC
i then removed the ATI HD 5770 and hooked up a VGA to the back of the motherboard and rebooted I can hear the beep and i can see My HD lights flashing like its booting into windows but my monitor says NO signal
I then shut it down and removed the vga cable and use just a HDMI cable and still no signal
What in the world is going on ?
the first day i setup this pc It worked and the integrated graphics worked fine but after i wanted to remove this ATI HD 5770 now the integrated graphics will not boot up
im going to a smaller case for a DVR setup so i cant use this ATI anymore
please help me
Bios version is the latest 1.A released on 2011-01-26

Some of the CMOS nonvolatile memory chips are really difficult to clear. Try doing a clear CMOS as follows:
1. Pull the power cord or turn of the rear power switch if you have one.
2. Pull out the CMOS battery (it looks like a coin)
3. Push the front power switch several times to clear the power caps
4. Push the clear CMOS button a few times with something like a bent paper clip. Make sure you feel it click and hold it in a few seconds.
5. Replace the CMOS battery - make sure the side with the "+" is facing up
6. Turn on the rear power switch or plug in the power cord.
7. Hit the front power switch.
If this doesn't work, you will at least know it's not a clear CMOS problem. It's actually surprising how many people have to pull the battery before the CMOS will clear.

MSI H55M-E33 SATA Not Detected

I've been putting together a new computer with this H55 board fresh out of the box. No matter what I do though all my SATA ports still show up as Not Detected in my BIOS for my hard drive or disk drive. I've tried all kind of combinations with every port. I've even taken out the CMOS battery for a while.
Specs are:
MSI H55M-E33 motherboard
Intel Core i5-680 Clarkdale 3.6GHz 4MB L3 Cache
Western Digital 1.0 TB HDD Model WD1002FAEX-00Z3A0
Pioneer DVR-218LBK
Corsair 850HX Power Supply

Okay, so I cleared CMOS several times, and even tried a brand new hard drive and DVD drive with at least seven different sata cables and every sata slot I had. Still nothing showing up at all in CMOS.
Also, here's my Bios: A7587IMS V1.1 012210
I'm very new at putting computers together, but from my understanding Sata should pretty much be plug-and-play. Or at the very least plug-and-see.

H55M-E33 (1.3 bios), i3-530 - freeze with flickering screen

Hi everyone.
My setup is:
- MSI H55M-E33 motherboard (bios version 1.3)
- Intel i3 - 530 CPU
- no other graphic card, using the one integrated in the CPU.
- 2x2GB DDR3 Patriot memory (666MHz, CL9)
- Samsung SATA (320GB, 7200rpm) HDD
- ATA LG DVD Drive
- LG LCD Display, connected via DVI
- 450W eurocase PSU (22A on 12V)
- Windows 7 32bit
The problem is that the PC freezes unexpectedly, with a flickering screen (flickering colorful rectangle rows aligned in 4 or 5 vertical bars). Only hard restart helps in such case. The trouble is that this happens only rarely (about 5 times total during 10 days since I got the PC).
First time it happened was after a bios update (1.1 -> 1.3, via liveupdate utility) when the computer restarted after, as it stated, a successful bios update. I though the update failed, but after I turned the PC on again, everything was just fine. Next time it happened while playing with Google Maps, so i suspected my PSU, which was then only 300W and only 20 pin. I bought a new 450W one and thought the problem is history, but today it happened again while just working with Adobe Reader and OpenOffice.
The CPU and all other parts are well cooled (the CPU temperature rarely crosses the 40°C value).
What would you recommend to do? A bios downgrade?

Well, I did some testing, maybe it's too soon to make a conclusion, but the problem seems to occur only when the RAM modules are in Dual Channel mode.
Tests I did:
- Only the first RAM module in DIMM1 - no problems.
- Only the second RAM module in DIMM1 - no problems.
- Swapped - second RAM module in DIMM1 and the first one in DIMM3 (dual channel) - same flickering screen freeze at same circumstances.
- Both RAM modules installed in DIMM1 and DIMM2 (no dual channel) - no problems so far
Those RAM modules were bought as a kit of 2 modules for dual channel.
So far the system is stable I'm satisfied, but I regret the memory performance loss.

Overclocking an MSI H55M-E33 with easy OC switch.

Hi everyone,
Im new to overclocking, tempted to overclock through the easy oc switch on the mainboard. Has anyone tried it out? how did it go?, but more importantly do i need to change setting from the bios or does it change itself automaticaly after the switches are on?, also do i need to turn off intel's turbo boost before i turn the switches on?, an explanation would be much appreciated since ive never done this before, thanks guys
my setup:
Mainboard: MSI H55M-E33
Case: Coolmaster centurion 5
CPU: I5 760
Ram: 8gig corsair xms3 classic
Cpu cooler: Noctua nh-d14
Case cooler: Noctua nf-p12
Graphics: MSI N570GTX Twin Frozr III PE/OC (single unit)
HD: X2 SEAGATE 500GIG 7200rpm

Suggest you set your BIOS to default values first.
Set your OC switch to its first OC stage and restart the system. Test for stability with something like Prime 95 and monitor your temps.
Once you have established stability, you can try the second OC stage and repeat the stability testing.
You may of course want to do some reading first in terms of overclocking your 1156 platform. OC'ing the system in the BIOS yourself is usually the best way to achieve this.
Here is a nice guide that will take you through the process step by step. http://www.overclockers.com/3-step-guide-overclock-core-i3-i5-i7/

Self-adhesive plastic part on bottom of MSI H55M-E33?

Hi,
I just got an MSI H55M-E33 from my retailer. The problem is that I have the feeling that the board is not new (someone may had already installed it).
I found a small piece of black self-adhesive plastic on the bottom on the board which I had never seen before on any MoBo I have installed before. The black plastic part is about 1x3cm large and sticks on the bottom of the MoBo next to the IDE-port.
Is this a regular part of the MoBo or is this something that doesn't belong there? Has anyone recognized something like that on a brand new H55M-E33?
Thanks in advance,
Robert

That doesn't sound right. Here is a reference image of the bottom of the board as it should look fresh from the box:

H55M-E33 I3 530 reboot loop

Hello,
I have my system for a year now but added a ssd hd yesterday. I installed windows 7 32 bit on it. When I installed the Intel hd driver the system asks for a reboot. As soon as the PC wants to enter the OS the system reboots. Offcourse system recovery pops up after that reboot. Recovery deletes the Intel drivers and the system boots up fine. I also tried to update the VGA driver (not installing them with Intel`s setup). It finds the driver files but again as soon as it wants to copy/enable them the system reboot itself. The only thing I can think of is a power problem. Here are my specs
MS H55M-E33
Intel I3 530
2 GB MEM
300 watt Be quit power supply
1 Caviar green 2TB Hard drive
1 OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSD
I did not OC my system also never done a BIOS Flash. I`ve read somewhere that the newer BIOS versions makes the system using more watt`s.
Hope you guys/girls can help me with this,
Greets patrick

I`ve downloaded and installed the one from MSI. Which works but only outputs 1080I to my TV.
Does the "Windows does not boot properly"-problem occur with that driver version?

Compatibility of corsair vengeance pro on H55M-E33

Recently i bought a new kit of corsair vengeance pro (2x4gb) 1866 mhz to replace my old 2x2gb. By using the same memory slot of the old ones(i plug them out and place the new in), bsod of windows appear (irql not equal, bad header, etc)
So is there any help? Thanks
After that placing new ram in, my keyboard/mice will not work at boot screen making me unable to choose F1,F2 for run default values.
Placing back the old ram and everything works fine, i just wanna upgrade more space of ram and better ram kit for future upgrade of pc.
Currently bios is ver 1.8, trying to update to newest using live update but appears checksum error so using back the default values.

Weird as this board:
Try clearing CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also check if it boots with a single RAM stick.
I tried clearing CMOS, and with the new ram kit installed, the pc will hang at showing the MSI H55M-E33 boot page, no beep sound or what and just hanging there. When i install back the old ones everything just goes well... I had no idea

Msi h55m-e33 motherboard AHCI

Hello, is it possible to enable AHCI mode on this motherboard because I cant find any settings for it in bios. Any help would be really appreciated.

If you are changing to AHCI mode with Windows 7 already installed you need to enable the AHCI driver in the registry before you change the SATA mode of the boot drive. To do this, follow these steps:
- Exit all Windows-based programs.
Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlS etServicesMsahci
In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.
After this you’ll have to restart your computer, go to BIOS and enable AHCI. When you log in to Windows again, you’ll notice the installation of drivers for AHCI. Another restart will be required to finish the driver installation.
If you have Windows XP read this post.

can somebody give me a full settings on bios because my pc wont boot when i try those settings.. heres my specs..

g.skill ripjaw blue 1600mhz
megashadow CPU cooler
if somebody can help me thanks... i reach 4ghz before but i forgot the settings...
It's 185 FSB X 22 Multiplier for me.
My 4Ghz processor clock settings (with hardwares in my sig):
==============================================
FSB: 185
Multiplier: 22
Voltage settings: - Vcore = 1.124 - 1.240v (+0.124v or more)
- vtt = 1.250v (+0.153v or more)
- pll = 1.900v or more
As for RAM timing and voltage settings, your ram stock setting starts at 7-8-7-24-2N timing (cool) and 1.650v. 250Mhz more, I'm guessing it could be 8-8-8-24-2N and 1.700v+ at 1850Mhz. If it hit 1850Hmz with stock timing and voltage, lucky you but I'd be on lookout for stability stability issues.
Boot with 185 X 22 and set AUTO first for the voltage and check the voltage for each after your desktop finished loading: Vcore, vtt, PLL, Dram. You might want to tinker quite close to those values for refinement. Plus, since you post to ask in this thread, I'm assuiming you're using H55M-E55 motherboard.
Good luck but do remember: DO this at your own risk.

H55M-E33 need parallel port port connector

I misplaced/lost the parallel port thing to connect the motherboard 25 pin header to a slot with db25 parallel port connector and am trying to replace it.
Can I buy this from MSI? If not, where can I buy it and what do I ask for to get the right adapter? I have one from an older computer, but the header that goes to the motherboard isn't the right size, it's larger.
