H67MA-E45 BIOS menu freezes

Silverstone 500W SST-ST50F-P
Kingstone Dual channel 1333MHz 4GB (2x2GB) Dual Channel KVR1333D3N9K2/4G
Since day one of firing up my new build, the BIOS freezes while in any BIOS setup menu after about half a minute or so.
POST and bootup both go by without either issue or delay and I can still change BIOS settings if I'm fast enough.
The strange thing is, memtest86+ shows no errors and Windows is perfectly stable as far as I can tell, though I haven't put it under heavy load yet.
I've successfully tried flashing (via forum tool, after memtest) to the most recent BIOS version with no luck in fixing this issue.
Any ideas or things I might have overlooked?
EDIT: Eh, wrong section? Sorry if it is, was half asleep when I posted (and still am).

BIOS menu is no longer freezing. I think I stumbled onto the fix by coincidence.
New keyboard/trackball (IOGEAR GKM561R) came in the mail, so I installed it and removed the temporary keyboard and mouse I was using originally.
A little while later I went into BIOS and found that it didn't freeze anymore. Thinking it was an issue with the USB keyboard or mouse I previously used,
I tried entering BIOS with just the previous keyboard. It was stable, but once I tried again with both the keyboard and the mouse the problem returned.
I'm thinking the mouse (steelseries KINZU) or a combination of the keyboard (Razer BlackWidow) and the mouse was the cause.
Also, just finished putting the system under heavy load with no stability issues. Looks like I'm in the clear. Thank you guys for lending me a hand, though. I really appreciate it.
EDIT: Bernhard, I didn't see your post until after I posted this, but it seems you were right on the money about the keyboard/mouse.

Does MSI H67MA-E45 BIOS compatible with SoundGraph iMON VFD?

Hi!
I would like to mount SoundGraph iMON VFD in my PC. It connects to MB by USB port. The problem is that BIOS bootup stops showing 92 at the right bottom of display as SoundGraph iMON VFD is connected. If disconnected, then connected later as the bootup procedure is completed all the items operate well.

Strange problem with motherboard H67MA-E45(B3) =( please help

Hi, I have a strange problem with my motherboard . I have a H67MA-E45 (B3) (MSI-7678) , when i try to update it ( http://www.pcbrain.it/images/stories/msi/H67MA-E45/bios/14.JPG ) , i choose the fourth option "Select one file to update bios" , but the bios did not recognize the update file (E7678IMS.1C0) into the Usb flash drive , but if i choose the second option (select one file to boot) the file is recognized. First I made a backup of the bios, and into the USB flash drive has been created a file called "E7678ICX.162" (my current update). Why the extension is IXC ?!? it should have been IMS ! . I tried changing the file extension "E7678IMS.1C0" (the new update) into "E7678ICX.1C0" and when i select the fourth option , the file is recognized! . Obviously I have not started the update , but if I proceed with the update, changed the name of the extension, is it safe? Or do damage?..please help me :(
P.S. Sorry for my bad bad and very poor english , i'm italian =)

Still think there is a batch conflict or possibly a bad stick in the new sticks. Might test each new stick individually for a bad one. Again, the other solution for an 8BG kit may be the new Kingston HyperX PnP's. Could you post a screenshot of CPUID's CPU-Z Memory & SPD Tab for one of the new sticks?
Added: Actually, screenshots of the old sticks Memory & SPD Tab may be of help too. It may be tRAS or tRFC differences between the two kits. Just speculation at this point though.
All the batchs works perfectly...this is the screen http://imageshack.us/f/163/ramkk.jpg/ ...save and zoom

MSI H67MA-E45-B3 (7678) System Freeze

I get freezes very often on this computer when using dual channel mode .
both of my rams are fine (2x Kingston 2GB same model) , I have tried them on both slot 1 or slot 3 , everything was fine , but when I use them on slot 1 and slot 3 , system freezes
I am using Windows 8 Pro , page file is now 300 MB min , 600 MB max .
The graphics card is : MSI NGTS-450 Cyclone .
and the CPU is i5 2310 .
I am running on BIOS Ver 3.2 (latest version)
power info :
3.3v = 3.3
5v = 5
12v = 11.6-11.7

Install only a single stick of ram then clear the cmos: >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Run the system with optimized defaults and assuming the system is stable, re-flash the bios to the most recent. (attached)
Memtest is included with the forum tool, make sure to run it prior to any flash. If any instability is detected DO NOT FLASH.
1st check to make sure this is your board:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H67MA-E45--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
2nd: Install the forum flash tool:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Place the attached archive on your desktop and your fat32 formatted usb stick in a the computer.
then start the tool and point it first at the compressed archive then to the usb stick using mode 1.
Then boot to the usb and proceed to flash the bios. I would recommend running memtest which is included with the forum tool prior to flashing. I would also suggest doing this with only a single stick of ram installed in the primary DIMM for the flash.

H67MA-E45(B3) won't boot, no beeps. BIOS?

It won't boot. The power LED comes on and fans spin, but I get no monitor activity and no beeps.
I'm theorizing this is BIOS related. My BIOS sticker says E7678 IMS170. I'm using a Core i3-2100 3.1GHz. The website says I need 7678v17.zip. Do I have this already? I can't make the connection between the BIOS sticker and the 7678v17 file.
I actually have two MB's, and two CPU's, and two sets of ram and a different power supply. No combination of MB, RAM, CPU, power supply, works. I went down to 1 stick of ram, no video card, and no peripherals. To my thinking it HAS to be the BIOS at this point.
Thoughts?

Yeah, I've got the 4pin plugged in.

H67MA-E45 b3 motherboard bios request

Hi, I have a H67MA-E45 B3 motherboard, recently I am trying to upgrade the bios. I download the bios upgrade exe on MIS website and run in windows 7. it processing well and ask me to restart the computer which I did so.
However, after I restart the computer, it pops up a message saying " warning！！！ BIOS ME update... file not found. please add file to your usb.
it kind of stuck there, can not get into bios or boot from any HDDs.
with MIS website only have .exe download link but not ROM file link. and I can not running this exe with other computer(not msi thought)
any suguestion?

Quote from: Svet on 10-April-14, 19:21:51
Get attached file, and extract both files over your USB key,
then try again and check if the BIOS Update procedure will resume.
I extract both file to a usb drive and plug it in to the usb2 ports, the motherboard is trying to read the usb then restart. It is going to a loop and make it keep restarting.
Please advice

Various MSI H67MA-E45 boot problems

Hi all,
First my specs:
-MSI H67MA-E45 with lastest bios.
-Core i5 2400
-8GB ddr3 g.skill ram
-Seagate 500gb
-xfx 6870 1gb
-Seasonic modular 520w
-Samung dvd burner sata
Here is the issue I have.
When I first got the board, I had boot order set to dvd, then hdd. I would say about once a week, completely out of the blue, the computer would boot into the bios menu instead of the hard drive (DVD burner was empty). Contacted msi support and they suggested having hdd set as first boot device. That solved the issue for couple weeks. Lately, I tried to start the computer and fan would turn but nothing else happened. I had to clear the bios memory so It could POST again. Also once in a while right after the computer POST and MSI splashscreen shows it stop right after and all I see is a flashing "_" in the upper left corner of the screen. I have to hit reset two or three times so it can finally "catch up" and load windows normally of the hdd.
My hdd tested good and are is known good. Did the same with an other PSU...I am lost !
Anyone has any input before I RMA the board?

Quote from: Bernhard on 24-January-12, 12:39:52
Which SATA ports are you using and have you tested connecting your drives to SATA II and SATAIII ports ? Have you tested different SATA cables ?
Have you done a CMOS clear, removing the battery dutring the process ? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
I am using sata3 for my hdd and sata 2 for my dvd. I dont have other cables to try out but beside problems booting, HDD have always behaved fine in windows. CLear CMOS method+battery remove did nothing to help...

H67MA-E45 hangs on reboot at boot code 92

I just built a new PC based on an H67MA-E45 board. It boots and works fine when power cycled, but fails to reboot, hanging at boot code 92 before even getting to the BIOS screen. Is there a list of boot codes somewhere? (the number in the lower right of the screen during POST). When booting from power off, the last part of the sequence is
B4 - 99 - one last beep - 92 - A2 - A3 - BIOS screen - windows
When rebooting, it gets to 92, but hangs there.
My board has BIOS 1.8. There are newer version, but they don't specifically address this issue and I've read some reports of other problems in newer BIOS versions. Any idea what's going on here or advice how to get this fixed? It's not a show-stopper, but it is pretty annoying.

Kcriqui,
Was your problem solved? I would be interested to know how.
I have exactly the same problem. When booting up my system (HTPC use), the bios hangs with 92 in the bottom right of the screen.
I have read that it could be linked to USB drives that are connected to the motherboard. I have the following configuration:
MB: H67MA-E45
CPU: i3-2100
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 6670
RAM: DDR3-1333 Geil 8GB
HDD: SSD Intel X25-M G2 80GB (system)
HDD: Samsung F1 Spinpoint 500GB (storage)
PSU: Antec EarthWatts 430W
OS: Windows 7 x64 Home Premium
Case: Antec Fusion Remote Black with LCD Display connected to MB via internal USB
This last point is important because this seems to be the cause of the bios freeze at '92' code. When disconnected, the PC just boots fine whereas, if connected, the PC freezes at boot. However, to make it more difficult, this does not happen all the time. When boot freezes, I have to switch off the PC and even switch off the PSU. Then, the PC boots up most of the time.
On the opposite, PC cannot be restarted when windows has started.
After PC boots up fine with LCD disconnected and then LCD is reconnected, the LCD starts up and PC works fine. This proves that LCD display is not broken and works fine.
I cleared the BIOS, but without any success. Problem still occurs.
I have also deactivated any USB boot option so that the PC can only boot onto the SSD.
Could someone help me on this? Did I miss something?
Thanks already for your input.

H67MA-E45 doesn't start with dual memory channel

I have just bought an H67MA-E45 motherboard and a brand new intel i5-2300 processor.
The pc works fine with a DDR3 1333 memory module on slot DIMM1 (as suggested in the manual),
but does not seem to work with dual memory channel at all.
When I install two same memory modules on DIMM1 and DIMM3 (dual channel configuration), I get the following problem: When I power on the computer, it turns on and instantly turns off. Then it powers on again on its own, but does nothing else. I get no beep error codes and the display doesn't show anything.
I use he on-board display adapter and I have only a sata II hard disk connected, nothing else.
Any suggestion what the problem might be?
Is there a way to check if there is a problem with the second memory channel?
PC details

Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
FSP AX500-A Blue Storm, +3.3V~30 A +5~28A +12~15A

My computer is now working only on one channel memory.
Every time I power the computer on, I get three short beeps, the third one is of slightly different tone. However, the manual does not have the beep codes written down, nor can I find them somewhere for the EFI BIOS (E7678IMS V1.2). Is there any link for the beep codes?
I tried mounting a single memory slot (KINGSTON KVR1333D3N9K2/2G DDR3 (1X2GB) PC10666 1333MHZ ) on DIMM 3 slot, for the second channel to work on its own. When I powered the computer on, I got the same problem, as if both slots DIMM 1 and DIMM 3 were populated. The mainboard turned on (without any beep code or display on screen) only to instantly turn off. Every while (about every four seconds) it tries to power on again on its own, without any intervention, but instantly turn off again. It may manage to stay turned on at one of the following iterations, without giving any beep code, displaying or loading anything.

[solved] H67MA-E45 does not boot

motherboard:H67MA-E45
cpu: i5-2400
memory 2x 4gb corsair DDR3 (XMX8GX3M2A1333C9)
+keyboard + DVI-D display
I've tried booting with everything else disconnected but all I get is those four beeps, ta-taaa-ta-ti. all four leds on a motherboard are also lit. nothing on a display.
result is the same with all four following trials:
memory A in slot1 and memory B in slot3
memory B in slot1 and memory A in slot3
memory A in slot1
memory B in slot1
if I boot without memories, system get's in to loop where it boots, shuts down and reboots.
this makes me think that memories might be ok as in single memory case they both work same way.
I tried re-mounting CPU but it made no difference.
I tried resetting bios but it made no difference.
Motherboard, CPU and memories are all new. I am replacing broken stuff (My assumption is that motherboard and it's capacitors caused the failure) so I can not completely exclude power supply being faulty but I don't think this is very likely.
any ideas?

decided to do one more try before going to sleep...
for some reason, cpu / motherboard did not automatically wake up my display, right after boot I disconnected and reconnected the display cable and now it is up and running.
so there went my sleep

Difference between H67MA-E45 and H67MA-ED55

Hi,
what are the differences between the H67MA-E45 and the H67MA-ED55 boards, besides their different PCIe slots?
Thanks

See here http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H67MA-E45--B3-.html#/?div=Detail
and here http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H67MA-ED55--B3-.html#/?div=Detail
Looks like voltage checkpoints are lacking on the E45.
Normally the higher numbered boards have more BIOS options available too and their VRM components usually allow for more stable overclocking.
As can be seen on the MB photo the heatsinks surrounding the CPU are also lacking on the E45.

H67MA-E45 - Audio driver will not install

Hello,
I look very much forward to suggestions how to install audio drivers for mainboard H67MA-E45 under Windows XP SP3.
After the hotfix KB888111 was installed, the Device Manager shows "Other Devices/Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus" (four of them show up).
I tried to install the latest audio driver 5.10.0.6151 (Windows XP) from MSI's web site, but I always get the same error message: "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software". I have looked through all available catalogues to find the missing files, without success.
Regards
Adlon

Thank you Svet, I tried the following suggestion but it did not work:
"Do this:
Go to device manager, then expand "System Devices", and locate "MS UAA bus" Right click over it, then click "Disable".
Reboot and enter in "Safe Mode", {hit "F8" just after bios post screen}
Once done go to device manager then expand "System Devices", and locate "MS UAA bus" Right click over it, then click "Un-install".
Reboot PC, then run Realtek driver installation again."
Instead of "Other Devices/Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus" the Device Manager now shows "Other Devices/Unknow device (four of them)"
Same message after trying to install the audio drivers "The hardware was not installed because the wizard cannot find the necessary software".
I also tried to install the audio drivers after I had changed from version SP3 to SP2 in the registry, but no difference.
Any more suggestions?

H67MA-E45 mobo & grapics card compatibility???

I have this H67 mobo and I'm using the Intel embedded graphics. I would like to enhance the video and use if possible two monitors at a time (SLI or Crossfire), but I am concerned with compatibility issues. Any suggestion on a compatible card? Thanks for your help.

You are using H67MA-E45 (B3) or not B3 version?
You can search on the internet for what graphics cards others are using with the same mobo.
If you need using two monitors at the same time, you don't have to setup SLI or Crossfire, just plug extra graphics card and enable "IGD Multi-Monitor" in BIOS, then you can use one monitor from Intel embedded graphics and the other monitor from extra graphics card.
