Okey! That is good and appreciated, thank you!
I'm a pessimist. If you feel you want to update BIOS, but the update makes your system fall over, I think you have a problem. What 1.5 does is I quote:
"- Update CPU module.
- Update Clockgen eModule.
- Support "CPU Core Control" function.
- Update M-Flash module."
1 When things work, what is your processor temperature? According to BIOS, please.
2 Is the processor fully recognised?
3 Do bad things happen sometimes?
Try setting memory speed down, from 1600 to 1333.
answers in order
1. my PC has always worked well in my opinion , but I like to keep it optimized ,processor temp at standard clock of 2.8 is 20 to 22 C by bios ,19-20 c by core temp software through windows ,although I run mine at 3.2 with a standard 200 bus and 16x multi with everything else at defaults ,except memory . I use 1.4 divider and 1.8v ,, at 3.2 .I'm showing 27-28c in BIOS and 24-26c in core temp ,through windows !
2. yes CPU has always been recognized fully  ,but as of bios 1.4 ,there is a new option of EC to unlock 4th core on certian CPU's .and 1.5 adds option to disable cores
3.yes , certain apps that run in background ,have always had weird start and shutdown issues ,which I'm just guessing are possibly driver related, they are not troublesome , just quirky . This is at default speeds or at my 3.2 overclock, had these since day 1 .
Also I always do a CMOS clear and load fail safe defaults before attempting a flash .
I've always had problems with my ATI video card driver , not responding after short gaming or benchmark stints while running ram at 1600, and before 1.3 bios 1333 as well , 1.3 fixed the 1333 issues but 1600 was still flaky  .1.4 still 1600 on the memory was flaky . Finally happy to say that 1600 runs well ,with no issues with the 1.5 BIOS .
I've did a little searching on this latest version 1.5 and it seems I'm not the only one that has had problems getting it to flash correctly. At least by using the BIOS Mflash feature . I would have to believe that MSI being the manufacture of this board would be the final say of how to use it . Regardless of what people on this or any other forum would tell .
thanks for your reply !

The problem is very simple kiLLter
1.DO NOT flash if your system works well
2.DO NOT flash if the system is unstable even if with the presumed BIOS flashing the problem should go away ,due to better BIOS settings.To overcome this find proper components and settings to make it stable.
3.If you need a new BIOS and the system is stable use the USB MSI HQ BIOS Flashing Tool  .The Floppy method can be done from diskete ,but having the flash tool and BIOS file on a FAT partition on the HDD (like i did with my KT3 board ).
I could'nt agree more with everything you said ,but for the life of me , I can;t understand why MSI recommends the Mflash tool and yet their forums says not to use it and to use USB MSI HQ BIOS Flashing Tool . Being that MSI builds this board , I'd like to think that the manufacture would know what to use and what would be the best way. Even though I have found that external sites , alot of times know more about a product than the manufacture of the product .
thanks !

So, I'm building computers for 31 years, repaired my first PC with a soldering Iron as they broke the motherboard.
And I have been soldering everything from memory to blitter-chips and packet radio modems.
I win, happy now?
Hey for the last time  I OWN AND USE THIS BOARD , do you ? and am only trying to help with my experiences with it !
I'm not trying to be rude or cause a stir , just stating ( again ) my experience in PC's and with this particular motherboard .
So if it is any consolation to you , YES YOU WIN , if it comes to electronic experience ! If it comes to owning this motherboard ,using it, and experience with this bios on this board , unless you own it and use it everyday as I do , YOU LOSE !

  • Is my 790GX-G65 (MS-7576) Socket AM2+ (940) or Socket AM3 ???

     
    Im a bit confused on this subject,as cpu-z is reporting my motherboard as a Socket AM2+ (940), because i thought it was a AM3 motherboard, the very reason i bought it.
    Am i missing something or am i genuinely thick 
    can anyone please enlighten me 

    The difference is mainly in support for DDR3, hence the 3 in AM3. By pin count the programs can't see a difference if they don't have a list of all MSI  (AM2 and AM3) motherboards to compare with.
    Here is from Wikipedia:
    "Socket AM3 breaks compatibility with AM2/AM2+ processors due to a subtle change in key placement. The AM3 socket has 941 pin contacts[1] while current AM3 processors have only 938 pins. Tom's Hardware removed the two obstructing key pins from an AM2+ Phenom processor in order to fit it into an AM3 socket. The processor did not work in the AM3 socket, but still worked in an AM2+ socket, suggesting that compatibility issues run deeper than merely the key pins.[4]"

  • Flickering with Onboard Graphics on 790GX-G65

    Hi Everyone,
    I recently put together my own AMD based machine and am very happy with it. It's the first desktop I've had since I switched to a laptop for uni in 2004 :D.
    The problem that I'm experiencing is that whenever the UAC window pops up, there is some flickering (Almost like static in an old video tape). Worse, it sometimes (Very rarely) happens even when the UAC window is not there :(. Has anyone else experienced this same problem? I did a quick search in this board before posting this and I haven't found anything similar. I have already tried the monitor with another machine (My laptop) and it does not show the same issue. It seems to me to be a problem with the on-board graphics card. I'm trying to get a DVI cable to try connecting the monitor that way. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Here is some more information on the computer:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 3.2 GHz
    Motherboard: MSI 790GX-G65, MS-7576, AMI Bios 1.3
    RAM: Kingston ValueRAM DDR3 1333 MHz 2 GB x 2 sticks (KVR1333D3N9/2G)
    Video Card: None (Using onboard graphics)
    Hard Drive: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA (HD103SJ)
    Wireless LAN Card: D-Link DWA-510 Wireless G PCI WLAN card
    Sound Card: None (Using onboard sound)
    HP DVD1260 DVD-Writer
    Monitor: Samsung 2233SWPlus (21.5" Widescreen), connected via normal VGA connector (This one)
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
    PSU: Corsair TX-750 750W 80+ PSU
    I hope to be getting an XFX 5870 soon, so hopefully this will disappear and won't plague me then ;D.

    @websherpa: different board, start your own topic. Do not hijack this one.
    Actually, I will post elsewhere if necessary, but I respectfully submit that I did NOT intend a hijack. I did not ask readers to find a solution to my particular problem. I indicated that I have a very similar problem and am seeking a solution through experimentation.  My solution may help this users issue.  I think it's likely a problem that's not entirely board specific (since I have found numerous posts about this very same issue with onboard Radeon chips and Windows 7 and x64) and therefore an understanding of a solution for any one set-up or combination may result in a solution for all. I provided system information solely to indicate whether there is some common causality.   I think it's only really appropriate for the original author to determine whether a post is off topic or not unless a post is obviously way off base (your mileage obviously differs).
    My appologies to lohita if you think I was trying to hijack your post.  I was simply trying to contribute to see if there is a common cause.
    Bas: you have a very good point.  "Patient: Doctor, Doctor it hurts when I do THIS!  Doctor: Well...then don't do THAT."  

  • MSI 790GX-G65 - No display

    The problem started a couple days ago. My machine started displaying corrupt graphics, something like pink artifacts on the screen and it would freeze. My Windows 8 x64 showed the new death screen and rebooted it. This happened couple times today and the machine wouldn't display at all.
    When I turn on, Processor fan spins, NB1, LED1 & LED2 were ON. LED3 and LED4 were completely OFF. My USB Keyboard and Mouse didn't get any power after I switched ON.
    I tried the following.
    1. Tried a different PSU
    2. Tried installing a GFX card (Power Color ATI Radeon 4870)
    3. Tried removing / swapping memory modules. (When no memory was installed I get the typical memory error beep, 3 long beeps.)
    System Config
    CPU : AMD Phenom II 1055T x6 - 2.8Ghz
    Board : MSI 790GX G65 (BIOS updated to Latest one, when I last checked for update it notified that my system's BIOS is latest)
    Memory : Corsair Vengeance 4 GB DDR3 + Transcend 2 GB DDR3
    KB : Logitech G510 USB Gaming Keyboard
    Mouse : Logitech G400 USB Gaming Mouse
    HDD : Seagate 1 TB
    OS : Windows 8 Pro x64
    Onboard OC set to Default (both switches in ON position)
    Can any one let me know what could be the problem?

    I was using Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 500W (http://www.coolermaster.in/product.php?product_id=3738) when the problem occurred. I was using it without any problem for more than 3 years with the same board. I then tested with Cooler Master 650W SMPS (Not sure about the model).
    I still didn't tryout what Flobelix suggested since am at my office right now, will give that a try when I reach home.

  • MSI 790GX-G65 DIMMM / Board issues?

    I have 2x4GB DDR3-1333 (PC3-10600) UDIMM kit of 2 CT51264BA1339.16FD based on the recommendations of the configurator on the Crucial site,,,
    Installed it into MSI 790GX-G65 with AMD Phenom II X6 chip running Win7/64
    Nothing else is installed on my MB except the graphics card, a Galaxy-210 Series NVIDIA GeForce 210 1GB DDR2
    I have battled the BSOD for 3 long days with the system shutting down in 2-3 minutes and sometimes it would run up to 30 minutes,,,, I have updated all of the drivers and bios (version 4.2),,,,
    This is the last Minidump before I pulled the single from the 2nd slot in the MB.
    BugCheck 3B, {c0000005, fffff8000309dfd7, fffff88008ce12d0, 0}
    Then I put one stick in and ran it  for 2 hours, then put the other stick into DIMM 1 with 10% overclock and it is still running. If i put a stick in DIMM 2, i get teh BSOD
    Can it be the DIMM or somethign lese?

    Quote from: LLDJR on 14-October-10, 22:31:57
    DUDE, I took the overclock on when you said tooo..
    I put it back to Fail Safe mode in the BIOS and it still dumps.
    So what is your suggestion,,,, no overclock? I am fine with that,, but can you clue me in on what the problem "might be" ?

  • MSI 790GX-G65 Hangs when loading windows

    Specs:
    Corsair 650W PSU (New)
    MSI 790GX-G65
    AMD Phenom II - Deneb 810 2.6 GHZ with XIGMATEK HDT-S1283 Heatsink(New)

    4x1gb SuperTalent 1333ghz DDR3
    500GB Seagate (used to be an external)
    64GB Crucial SSD (New, no OS)
    I bought my computer in July 2009 and have had a reoccurring problem where, at any random point, my computer would completely lock up causing me to force shut down.
    At first I thought it was a power supply so I replaced that and the problem persisted. Usually I would be on my computer, it would hang and I would restart it and everything would be fine for the rest of the day. Some days it wouldn't hang at all and run perfectly fine. I thought that maybe it was a heat issue so I've had my case open with a box fan sucking air out it. I just recently bought a new heat sink for my CPU to sure up any doubt.
    Last weekend, I attempted to do some more troubleshooting and updated my BIOS, but my computer really didn't like it. Now it will not boot Windows after POST. I cleared CMOS and tried again but the same issue would occur. I would get into the Windows loading screen and the computer would lock up or it would make it to the login screen but would restart.
    I considered the possibility that my HDD, being an old external, might have been the problem so I just recently purchased a new SSD. Last night I plugged in the SSD and in my attempt to load Windows on it, it would completely lock up the same exact way. I've narrowed it down to either being the SATA cables or the SATA connectors to the motherboard.
    The two SATA cables that I am using are a bit old. One of them I found in my cable drawer and don't know how old it is or what the gb/s rating on it is. The other cable came stock with the MoBo and I've been using that one since the rig was built. I am going to buy some new SATA cables tonight and try again, but would it be that the motherboard SATA connectors are faulty or something? I was about to buy a new Motherboard but this one is POSTing fine and reading all of my hardware. What other issues could there be? Any help would be very much appreciated.

    I was reading about how to install the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<.
    It's saying in step 3:
    Quote
    If your MSI Retail Board is properly detected and you have pressed the >OK< button in the message box, an option box will pop up that allows you to choose between three different operating modes.
    I came across this FAQ:
    Quote
    ->Q: Can I prepare USB stick in another mainboard?
    A: * If you want to use method 3 it will not be possible, since Tool will detect different MSI board which uses a corresponding different BIOS.
        * If your other mainboard is retail MSI, yes you can.
    My current system is unusable which will mean that I'll have to install and create the USB flasher on a laptop that doesn't have a MSI MoBo. Will it still work?

  • Diagnosing No POST, No Beep MSI 790GX-G65 with AMD Phenom X4 955 BE

    Last night I came home to a ceased PC with a frozen screen. PC has been working fine for over 2 years, but CPU has been running a bit hot of late (60C) with occasional BSODs with some ATI driver reference. Updated video drivers a few times. Suspected overheating CPU or ATI. Never overclocked it.
    Specifications:
    CPU: 3.2Ghz Quad-core AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition
    M/B: MSI 790GX-G65
    BIOS: Don't know. I upgraded it at one point.
    Memory: 4x 2GB DDR3 Apacer (2GB UNB PC3-10600 CL9). Don't have more info right now.
    Video: On-board.
    Hard-drives: 1x 500GB Western Digital (Removed)
    Peripheral Devices: PCI Wi-Fi card (Removed)
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    PSU: ISO-500PP Switching PSU, Max Output 420W rated 23.0A @ 12V
    Symptoms:
    Black screen with blinking monitor LED (connected via DVI).
    All 5 blue M/B LEDs light up.
    No POST.
    No Beeps (connected PC speaker to JFP2 according to maunal)
    No peripheral activation, e.g. no keyboard lights / mouse.
    All funs run (incl. PSU fan).
    If USB keyboard is plugged in when powered, keyboard function LED lights up for a second, then dies.
    Suspected Causes:
    Broken CPU
    Broken PSU. It is the only component I skimped on with this system (420W), but I was saving money and didn't have a video card DVD drive or anything fancy connected. Worked great until now.
    Things I have tried:
    Left it overnight.
    Reseated CPU and heatsink (did not reapply thermal paste).
    Cleaned heatsink under CPU Fan.
    Removed PSU and M/B from case.
    Disconnected everything.
    Laid M/B on anti-static bag with only power supply and monitor via DVI cable.
    Removed all RAM. Starting produces no beeps from PC speaker (via JFP2). Suspect broken CPU.
    Some things I have not tried:
    A different PSU
    VGA output
    Different AM2 CPU (don't have one)
    New thermal paste
    Clearing CMOS and removing battery. Not sure how to do this (do I need to remove CMOS battery and hold clr CMOS button for 60s?)
    Since everything on the M/B lights up (incl. blinking Wi-Fi LED when it was connected), I suspect a bricked CPU.
    Where do I go from here?
    (edit: added keyboard LED symptom)

    @Fredrik:
    Yes, I tried with 1 RAM DIMM in different positions. I connected a PC speaker and my standard speakers via the audio jack (some new M/Bs apparently output to it). I don't have access to another compatible system to try my CPU on. Very infrequent thunderstorms.
    @cronnin:
    1. Placed M/B on unpainted wooden table. Good point about the anti-static bag - I forgot that it conducts. No change in symptoms.
    2. Everything is disconnected. I've tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots and connected a CRT monitor via VGA. No video out.
    3. I connected an old PC speaker to pins 2 and 8 of JFP2 and plugged in normal speakers via green audio jack on M/B. I can't get it to produce any sound whatsoever.
    4. FSB overclock switches are both ON.
    5. I pressed and held CLR_CMOS for 10 seconds while ATX power was connected and system unpowered. Didn't touch the battery.
    More Things I Tried:
    Used a multimeter to test my PSU ATX outputs on the board when powered on. I get a steady 12.35V, 5.2V and 3V at the M/B power connector. Starting to think the PSU is OK, but still can't be sure. If there was a lack of current, wouldn't the voltages start to break-down?

  • MSI 790GX-G65 Colors?

    Well, when I was looking around and reading the reviews for this motherboard (MSI 790GX-G65) I noticed that all the pictures and descriptions for it are a brown board with Pink and baby blue DIMM slots - as seen here: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130224
    When I opened the box for my new 790GX-G65 I was surprised to see this:
      vs   
    Deep Brown - almost black board with Black and Navy blue DIMM slots.    Not baby blue and Pink like the common board.
    The SATA sockets are black too.  Not Purple as shown in the Common picture.
    My second PCI-E x16/x8 slot is the same royal blue as PCI-E x16 slot 1 vs baby blue on the commonly seen board.  Also different are the PCI slots; the commonly seen board has white PCI slots whereas mine are black.
    Even the 24pin Power and IDE plugings are different: black and blue vs white and yellow. The JFP1 and JFP2 (front panel and speaker connections) are not color coded on mine as in the common one.
    A few more pics:
    Don't get me wrong, I actually really like this black and blue color combination.  It looks more like the 790FX-GD70: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130223.  I'm just curious why it's different than the brown/pink/baby blue boards. The MSI website states " The product picture may differ from the actual product. Only for your reference", but I haven't seen any reviews or pics with the black and blue combo.  Also, on the lower cover of my Manual it says USER GUIDE - EUROPE VERSION. Funny because I bought it and live in California lol.  So I would guess that somehow the Frys (see Frys.com) near my house got a European Region shipment. Is that right?
    Anyone have this combo too?
    Anyhow, I'm happy it's up and running.  Just need a good guide on overclocking the board settings for an Athlon II X4 620 CPU. Any tips or links?

    Quote from: Fredrik on 28-January-10, 20:42:38
    How about this: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&prod_no=1813#
    It is the Winki edition you see on that link, very very similar PCB/basic board. So they used one PCB for the picture and one for you.
    Yea, it looks just like that Winki version.  After scanning through the forums I see others have the same color combo as mine too. So I'm not an exception.  Flasing the board to the latest Bios was pleasant and simple.
    2 questions:
    1) Any way to order the Winki module to plug into my board?  Will that work?
    2) Any good guides to overclock this board with an Athlon II X4 620?
    Thanks for the info.

  • MSI 790GX-G65 delay before post

    Sorry for hijacking that other thread
    So I press the power button on my computer, then the case/mobo lights and fans (inc. cpu fan) turn on, but I have to wait about 20-30 seconds and then it posts.
    I built this system in June '09 but this problem didn't start til maybe October. This problem started happening BEFORE I updated/flashed, however I tried updating to solve the problem to no avail.
    I don't remember doing anything different when that problem started.
    My system:
    MSI 790GX-G65 motherboard
    AMD Phenom II x3 720 BE 2.8 ghz (not OC)
    G Skill 2x2GB ddr3 1600 ram (@ 1333 because of no OC)
    WD Caviar blue 320 GB 7200rpm hard drive
    HP 22x DVD burner 1170i w/ light scribe
    case: ABS Aplus el diablo
    monitor: HP 2009m 20" (DVI)
    Power Supply: Raidmax Hybrid 2 530 watt Modular (although I doubt that's the problem because power seems to be working - cpu fans turn on and mobo lights come on long before post)
    the power for the HD uses a 4-pin to SATA converter (for easier wiring) but I've tried it with regular SATA power cables
    I've tried running one ram stick
    swapped CD/dvd and Hard drive places on mobo (swapped HD from sata_0 to sata_1 etc)
    my case has a lot of wires for fans and lights, so just to make sure i disconnected those and left whatever was necessary connected
    I've tried changing the boot order HDD first, and also tried CD first just in case, didn't help
    none of these things helped :(
    if I left anything out that may help please say so
    EDIT: using onboard VGA (set as default display device in BIOS), OS is Windows 7 64bit RC in case those might help
    I currently have my case fans connected directly to molex power connectors from PSU, and hard drive and optical are both connected to regular SATA power connectors, regular SATA cables

    Quote from: Svet on 11-February-10, 15:38:52
    disconnect all storages and see how its goes,
    also do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed.
    if problem persist, write down and paste here what's written on the screen when the delay is happening.
    Quote from: CSN9 on 24-February-10, 05:24:10
    Yes! Disconnecting the hard drive stops the delay from happening. I had already cleared the CMOS the way the guide says, but I just did it again while the hard drive was disconnected. However, with the hard drive connected there is still the delay.
    Now that we know it has to do with the hard drive, does this mean I need a new one? I mean, I've always had the same hard drive and this problem didn't happen from the beginning. So does it mean I should reformat it or something?
    What hard drive is that? and where is connected?

  • Re: MSI 790gx-g65 no post, no beep (split)

    I am in an almost identical situation and it is ruining my christmas. My 790GX-G65 had been running with no problems for several months.
    I was running a routine backup and the PC powered itself off - no it was not set to self power off, it had at least 10 minutes left to run.
    I have gone through all the usual stuff and now the mainboard is on my test bench with just the cpu/hsf and a stick of RAM.
    When I press the power button the fans spin up and leds come on - Does anybody know what the LED indicators indicate? I can find no reference in my manual or searching google. NB1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 light up, LED1 doesn't.
    It doesn't post or even send a signal to the monitor - i.e. the monitor detects a cable is connected but is receiving no signal. I have tried using 2 separate pci-e cards as well as the integrated. It does appear to be on though. And it doesn't turn itself off. I left it running for just over 20 minutes and it was in the same state - fans running.
    Also now holding the power button won't turn the mainboard off - plugging in an external power button doesn't work either. I have to turn off the PSU to power down the board.
    Specs:
    AMD Phenom II X4 955BE
    MSI 790GX-G65
    OCZ 2x2GB DDR3
    Corsair HX520 Modular
    Xigmatek HSF
    MSI/ATI HD4870 1GB
    none of it is overclocked and has never been.
    I updated the mainboard bios several weeks ago via liveupdate in windows to iirc v1.5.
    The only parts I don't have to test are a replacement CPU or PSU. I should be able to get my hands on another PSU tomorrow but anybody who can tell me what the LED indicators stand for would be a real help.
    Thanks
    Andy

     
    Hey Andy2009,
    I seem to be having the same issue with my son's system. We put it together just over a year ago then all of sudden, BAM!!! Just wouldn't boot.
    Symptom:
    Press the power button, the fans spin up, with the exception of LED1, the remaining LED's light. No video signal is detected by the monitor. Although it appears to be powered up, the system doesn't POST, not a single beep. It just remains on.
    Also now holding the power button down for any lenght of time, does not shutoff the power supply. To turn it off you must disconnect the AC power line to the supply.
    System Specs:
    MSI 785G-E53
    AMD Phenom II X4 965BE
    ADATA 2x2GB DDR3L-1333G
    Has never been overclocked.
    According to the user manual, the LED's are indicators for the "NB Phase" and "Active Phase Switching" mode for the CPU. I'm not sure what that means but the chart showing the LED status, shows that LED1, regardless of what power mode the CPU is in, should be lit. As the modes change the next LED# lights. My guess is that something happened to the phase 1 power mode circuitry on the mainboard.
    I began troubleshooting by replacing the PC power supply. Disconnected all the peripherals, removed the mainboard from the case, reseated the processor and memory, tried to reset CMOS, etc... By the end of the week, I purchased another mainboard/processor bundle and quickly determined that the mainboard was root cause . The AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE CPU seems to be fine. I'll be sending this board back as an RMA.
    I tried searching the internet  for POST type issues for MSI 785G-E53 with very little results  . After replacing the mainboard, I noticed the 785G-E53 lettering on the mainboard was actually a label, covering the silkscreen lettering 790GX-G65. Did another quick search on-line  and found this forum posting.
    I know this doesn't answer your question, but hopefully it will help others.
    So what does all this mean, that is the "NB Phase" and "Active Phase Switching" LED's?   
    Thanks in advance,

  • MSI 790GX-G65 Blank Screen on boot.

    I finally decided to upgrade my computer and I am having an issue unfortunately. Please take a look and see if you can give me any advice.
    Mobo: MSI 790GX-G65
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz
    RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
    PSU: Rosewill Stallion Series RD450-2-DB 450W ATX V2.2 Power Supply
    Output     +3.3V@22A,+5V@15A,+12V1@14A,+12V2@16A,
    [email protected], [email protected]
    I have isolated the problem to these components, attempting to turn it on the CPU fan turns on and LEDs on the motherboard all turn on but my monitor receives no input at all, boot screen, no blinking cursor, no nothing. the computer doesn't beep, if it wasn't for the blank screen I wouldn't have a problem. I don't know how to determine which part is the problem as I don't have parts to switch out but I need to figure out something soon If I am going to have to be returning stuff.
    I have read other posts on the forums and one of the first things you guys mention as being the problem is the PSU and I have considered upgrading it to AZZA Dynamo 850
    Output     +3.3V@24A, +5V@32A, +12V1@18A, +12V2@18A, +12V3@20A, +12V4@22A,[email protected], [email protected]
    I realize it doesn't have the +12v amps that everyone is recommending on a single rail but would this be workable with my set up for a casual gamer on a budget(the PSU is on a special right now with a case for cheap)
    Thanks for helping.

    Hello!
    All LEDs are Go? It doesn't sound like a BIOS problem, more of a power/processor thing, but update 1.2 is required.
    All LEDs light up.

    Check that all plugs of the wires from the PSU are fully seated in their sockets and that the 4/8 pin power for the CPU is plugged in. Usually labeled JPW1, JPWR1 or something similar.
    All wires are plugged in solidly and the PSU is fully seated

    Try with less memory; a single stick nearest to the processor.
    I tried with both sticks individually, same result. Blank Screen

    Corsair VX550W +12V~41A single rail would be a very good one for you especially if you might want to get a halfway decent VGA card later on down the road. I'm assuming you are using onboard graphics since you didn't list a separate card.   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004
    Right, I ordered a HD 4770 seperately and it came a day later, the screen receives no input whether I plug in from the onboard video or the video card.

    Get a quality PSU, please. An 850W PSU doesn't cost 60$, have a half hidden amps list, and come with blue LEDs. Better a quality 500W than a lousy 850W. How would you fancy this one?

    Like Fredrik said, a cheap junk PSU is still a cheap junk PSU no matter how many watts it claims to have. That's the mistake far too many people make is getting cheap with a PSU which is the heart of a system and when they take a dump it more than likely will take other components with it. I'm sure you've read plenty of that if did much reading of things regarding PSU's on this forum.
    Thanks for the PSU suggestions and advice, I'll be a better shopper when it comes to PSUs.
    Thanks for the suggestions but nothing worked, I guess I will be contacting newegg and telling them something doesn't work and let them sort it out.

  • Msi 790GX-G65 and "EB" Ram question....

    Hiya All,
    Q: could it be that "OCZ DDR3 ram p3 1600 EB 2GK" won't work with a MSI 790GX-G65 mobo because of the "EB" (enhancend Bandwidth) ? ? ?
    can't find anything on EB in the manual or on the net concerning the MSI 790GX-G65 mobo
    System freezes randomly, sometimes during start up sometimes after an hour.
    all temps are okay and nothing is OC-ed.
    got ati 4870 gfx card.
    550 W power suply.
    cpu: AMD phenom2 x3 720 black edition
    thanks to any one willing to look into this matter 
    Bassman404
    p.s. asking this for a friend so hard to give more info than this atm

    thanks for your quick reply
    The PSU is a HKC USP5550
    and forgot to mention that the ram is running on 1333 MHz not 1600MHz.(not trying to run it higher than 1333 MHz atm)
    i'm wondering if the "enhancend bandwidth" could be the cause of the system freezing?
    or in other words do i have the wrong RAM?
    and thanks allready

  • 790GX-G65 worst experience of all time

    So here i was an avg gamer. The only game i ever played was Arma 2 That game was CPU intensive and could only max out at 31-35 avg FPS.
    My build specs were:
    MSI 975x platinum edition
    core 2 duo E6700 (2.66ghz OC to 3.10ghz)
    4gb ddr 2 ram 667mhz
    maxtor 250GB
    Antec Neo Power Blue 650 watt PSU
    ATI HD 4870 (Palit sonic dual edition) 512MB
    My friend showed off his gaming rig. 4gb ddr3 and AMD phenom II x4 945.. His benchmarks in Arma 2 were great. I had just enough money. so i sold my Mobo, cpu, and ram and bought the following:
    MSI 790GX-G65
    AMD phenom II x4 945 (95watt) (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103809&cm_re=phenom_II_945-_-19-103-809-_-Product)
    and G-skill 2x1GB DDR3 1333mhz
    500GB Samsung spinpoint f3
    I removed cleaned and properly installed everything... And this has been my experience so far....
    tried to boot from my old maxtor first just to test out my new cpu's power. had to change a few boot settings. when i got onto the logon screen BAM a gfx glitch (pink looked like a thumb print) and pc was completely unresponsive...
    i thought it was my gfx card (i had just rma'd the thing because of bad memory problems) so i couldnt believe it.. i quickly shut off to prevent further damage... to my surprise when i rebooted to bios, no gfx glitch. i figured it was the drivers.. my friend suggest i install windows 7 on my new spinpoint and start fresh..
    I spend 3 hours trying to install windows 7 because the disc would never finnish. it would freeze after the logo... i went back to bios changed a few things unplugged devices... finally i thought it was the new ram.. tried out both ram chips individually in dimm1 and dimm2 one by one to no avail. windows memory diagnoistics reported no problems. We finally managed to load it after we found out the OC switch on the mobo was on.. weird the CPU was running at 3.30ghz instead 3.0. But when the completing installation stage started windows the pc would just randomly reboot also causing the installation to be corrupted forcing me to try again and again and again
    So i put vista in, it finally installed but it would crash when "adjusting windows performance". This told me it was a hardware problem... me and my friend narrowed it down to the cpu/mobo. What fixed my problem was lowering the multiplier from default (x15) to x13. To our surprise i could finally logon to the new windows. My friend told me to instantly download prime95 and run a test to see what was going on.. Also to check CPU-Z and temps
    Almost instantly after hitting the start button in prime95 the pc crashed. So fast it felt like the start button was more like a "shutdown" button :O
    CPU-Z said that the cpu voltage was at 1.456 and avg around there... He told me it shouldnt be like that since his 945 avgs out at 1.3 or less
    Changing the bios "CPU Voltage" would make the pc not startup.. (screen would stay black) i couldn't even get into the bios. So i had to "clr CMOS" and try again.... and again.... and not ONE setting i tried for the "CPU voltage" was successful...
    Finally i installed windows 7 and would you look at that.. it installed. But anything higher than x13 muiltiplier would cause crashing in any programs... even sometimes starting CPU-Z would crash.. watching 1080P videos would crash... everytime everytime...
    and windows was so unresponsive at times with these weird stutters that lasted 1-3 seconds every 5 seconds. It was ridiculous. Why should i have to underclock my new cpu from the default values to 2.6 just to start my OS..
    We Tried everything buying new thermal paste reapplying thermal paste (6 times) changing coolers, i bought the best paste out there (artic silver 5) nothing...
    Finally changing the mobo to optimized defaults again and going directly to the "CPU Voltage" setting changing it to 1.284V my mobo booted without having to clear cmos. BUT HERE IS THE SHOCKER: temps where at 85C-90C range like 200F !!!!! i couldnt believe it.. so i shut off instantly and clrd cmos..temps dropped down again to the low to high 40's.
    Here i am now.. with an underclocked overvoltaged phenom II x4 945 edition barely able to run windows. My bios is updated to the latest wich is 4.10 and i dont know what else to do. Faulty CPU? doubt it. All i know so far is that my mobo is just sending waay to much power to my cpu causing the quick overheat and shut off. I've spent 5 miserable days since i got my new build trying to just run the default values. NOthing... so i'm contacting you msi guys and the people on these forums to please guide me. my last 5 days have been hell..
    Anyways my friend says my new cpu is not on the mobo support list which is true, but the other 945 is. not the new revision i have so maybe thats also a contributing factor....
    O and another weird thing.. sometimes i can play arma 2.. performance is not too good because of the hiccups, but it doesnt crash my pc.. Except when i tried to raise the cpu/fsb multiplier up to x14 it would crash sometimes.
    ANYWAYS please help me figure this out i dont understand all these experiences dont make sense to me.

    Well, this is the motherboard i have:
    http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&prod_no=1739&maincat_no=1
    I dont know how to check if its a "winkie" board.?
    Anyways. I can confirm that flashing the bios back to 4.0 did nohing for me.. Exact same results. I also changed my PSU and got exact same problem.
     So so far its not:
    Ram
    PSU
    Cooler (i'm pretty sure its not the cooler because i went from my antec cooler to reapplying paste on my antec to stock cooler to reapplying paste on stock cooler twice. After 4-5 times playing with the coolers and paste i'm pretty sure its not the Cooler/paste causing the issue.

    And 97C isn't possible, the board should shutdown at about 70C.
    I gurantee you this is what the motherboard monitoring stated.
    yes 45C isnt good i know that. And i cant seem to do anything about it. The weird thing is the first test run the temperature was at high 30's second try with reapplied paste bios said temperature was at the low 20's (21-23C) But as i booted OCCt temperatures readings said 70C which made no sense to me.
    So i finally put the stock cooler and so far all the readings have been in the 43-47C range. Except for that one time i changed the "Cpu Voltage (V)" to 1.2840 which btw was the highest setting possible in the bios and caused my readings to go off the chart at 97C range. I can confirm doing this over and over will give me same results. All the higher settings are in red or "Not recommended" and also force the mobo to not boot. 1.2840V is the only setting that i can change aside from auto that will alow my mobo to reboot. And its also the highest thats not in the red zone
    I'm now able to get on with you guys because the multiplier is at 13X and temps in OCCT AND mobo are conistent with one another reading at 45-47C.
    My friend is suggesting me to get a new mobo but before i do i want to know if it's really the motherboard or the cpu... I bought this cpu last week and i can still RMA it if thats the problem.
