MSI 870A-G54 (MS-7599) (NO FX)

Hello I'm a owner of MSI 870A-G54 (MS-7599) (NO FX) I upgrade the bios @ v17.17 (2012/01/13)
can I upgrade my system with AMD FX Buldozer?
(I want buy  FX-8120)
Is there people that use Amd Buldozzer with this mobo?(no FX)

Quote
but now I have the same bios:
... but a NON-FX board...
Quote
Amd Agesa code what mean?
Google it!
Quote
the mobo is the same change also the color of the soket
No, the FX and the NON-FX model are NOT the same, if they were the same, the FX CPUs would be officially supported on a non-FX board, but they are not in this case...

  • MSI 870a-G54 Hard drive problem.

    About a week ago i reinstalled Windows because it started to slow down (virusses and what not) And as soon as i reinstalled everything (programs games etc etc) One of my harddrives used for games did not show up at the bios and at My computer.
    So this entire week i've been trying to get it to work again and i've narrowed down the problem today to the BIOS and/or motherboard not giving the power to the HDD in order for it to start and be recognized in BIOS and Windows.
    What ive done to come to this conclusion:
    - Reinstalled Windows twice,
    - Replaced CMOS Battery,
    - Flashed the BIOS to every BIOS setting the MSI website had to offer. None worked for the HDD to get powered up again.
    - Moved CMOS jumper,
    - Changed SATA and powercables on harddrive,
    - Tried the HDD on another test PC i had and reformatted it there as well,
    - Only hooked up the not working HDD to the PC, (HDD did not spin up, and came to the conclusion at this point that motherboard or BIOS is the culprit)
    - Unplugged the powercable to the not working HDD and plugged it back in when the PC was running and i could feel it spinning up, after this i restarted the PC so that the HDD would still get power and it was recognized by the BIOS and Windows and i could use it. As soon as i shut down the PC entirely and restarted it the HDD would not spin up. And i had to unplug power to the HDD and plug it in again and restart PC for it to work properly.
    - Checked for bad sectors nothing found,
    Everything else is working perfectly. Except that one HDD not getting the power when booting up the PC.
    The HDD in question is the "Samsung HD502HJ 500gig" used for Steam games.
    PC Specs:
    CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black edition. Put on a new CPU cooler last summer (Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus)
    Mobo: MSI 870a-G54
    PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 (650 Watts)
    Graphics card: Powercolor PCS+ HD5870 Put on a custom cooler last summer (Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5870)
    RAM: Kingston ValueRam 1333Mhz DDR3 (8gigs 4x 2gig) Bought 4 gigs extra last summer
    HDD1: Seagate ST3160812 AS 160gig used for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Works perfectly)
    HDD2: Samsung HD204UI 2TB used for Storage / Other games than i have on Steam. (works perfectly) Bought last summer with the cooling/system upgrade
    HDD3: Samsung HD502HJ 500gig used for Steam games. (Does not work anymore after reinstal) Bought 2 years ago along with the rest of the PC
    I am completely at a loss here as to what the problem is. I do not have the funds to buy a new piece of hardware at this time (i think the entire week of struggle would back that up for me lol...). And ive basically tried everything what i know and what i've found through Google and friends. Might have been better going straight to MSI forum and post my problem here but narrowing it down to this not only helps me but the person that is going to post below in this thread as well lol.
    Thanks in advance and i hope to hear from anyone soon.

    Try drive in different PC, as it looks like it died.
    HDD's always spinup as soon as power is applied, ergo I think the drive died.
    Ive tried it already in 2 different PC's and i have to apologize here for not mentioning that earlier in the topic.
    The drive spins up perfectly in both of those PC's and ive checked for bad sectors on both of those PC's as well and it showed that the drive was 100% healthy on both PC's
    The drive was working perfectly fine before the reinstallation of windows. Thats why i dont think the drive has died. Because it would be weird that the drive just suddenly gave up right when im reinstalling windows..
    It also doesnt add up when i plug the powercable back into the drive while the PC is running and it spins up then and works perfectly until PC is shut down. Thats why i had it narrowed down to the BIOS and/or Motherboard being the culprit.
    My best guess is that its software related because the PC does boot up so its not a hardware problem.
    P.S.
    A friend of mine said that it could be a powersaving issue. But ive looked into the BIOS and i could not find anything about it.

  • MSI 870A-G54 Blue Screen & Corruption Issues in Windows 7 64-bit

    I am having periodic blue screen and corruption issues in Winodws 7 64-bit with my MSI 870A-G54 system.  I have a Phenom II X2 560 BE processor, 2 4GB DDR 1333 DIMMs (first bank - unganged), 2 2GB DDR3 1333 DIMMs (2nd bank - unganged), 2 Hitachi 1TB 32MB Cache HDD's in a RAID 0 array, two Galaxy PCIe2.0 GT9500's, 550w power supply, internal DVD drive, and 1 1TB Seagate external 3.0 USB drive.  After I load all the supplementary drivers from the MSI site (ensuring I use the 64bit versions), my system becomes unstable.  I even tried the new motherboard chipset drivers from AMD (10.12).  I am running the latest firmware as well (17.7).  The system in not overclocked in any manner and I experience the same results with fail-safe and optimized settings.
    I have tried isolating the issue after loading each driver, but due to the random nature of the issue, I am not having success.  I have also performed memory and CPU tests that report no errors.  Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help...

    What specifications are you referencing that indicate this processor only works with two sticks of RAM?

  • MSI 870A-G54 (FX) CPU Core control unlock setting error

    Hello,
    My motherboard MSI 870A-G54 (FX) has strange issue: CPU Core unlock option is not working properly. I've switched in BIOS  Cell Menu the setting "CPU Core Control" - Enabled, and after the restart, there is error message about RAM chek - till 3325 MB instead 16 GB, and after that windows7 Ultimate x64 tries to load, but unfortunately displays the Blue Screen of Death. After disabling CPU Core Control option windows start normaly. Also after using MSI LiveUpdate5 and installing BIOS Code unlock Technology 1.0.106, I got the following message: Error Message
    PC Hardware details:
    CPU - TripleCore AMD Phenom II X3 Black Edition 720, 2800 MHz (14 x 200), Codename:Heka, Core Stepping: RB-C2
    16GB (4x4GB) Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G
    VGA Sapphire Radeon HD 4830, Codename: RV770
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64, SP1
    BIOS   V17.18
    I'll be glad to have some of your ideas how to handle it...

    I also have an X3 720BE. Mine will not unlock, some do not... it's not a built in feature on 'All' CPU's.
    That said.. I have owned mine since the beginning of AM3. It has been a great CPU with 3 cores. I have had OC settings at or above 3.4GHz stable.
    If you search you can find a lot of OC information. This was an early release AM3, and a lot of owners, forums, test websites etc.. have information available. I still use it in my HTPC.
    Owners who have been able to 'unlock' thier CPU's do get extra core(s).. but it's not as stable. I would rather have a stable, able to OC CPU than an unlocked one that can't obtain the OC stable numbers. It's a mind game.
    Good Luck

    No , I have only 2 stick at 1600 ,seems ram is not cause of bsod (complete Memtest+ passed few times without errors) work same with 1 or 2 stick. I really don't know how to set my ram 1600 on 1333!
    In BIOS Setup: "Cell Menu", then locate "FSB/DRAM Ratio" and switch from Auto to this value: 1:3.33

  • 870A-G54 - Lost use of of ALL usb 2.0 ports after months no issues

    First off I have been using this board for about 6 months with no issues.  None what-so-ever.  That was until my hard drive failed (it was old anyways.)
    I replaced the failed drive and reinstalled Windows 7 x64.  Except I was only able to plug my keyboard/mouse into the USB3.0 ports. None of the usb 2.0 ports on the board worked.
    I disconnected the USB headers (for my case,) swapped the memory, flashed the bios, and reconnected the all the cables (power, sata, etc..) 
    On top of that, it takes about 3 full minutes for the system just to post.  Usually it took maybe 3 seconds.
    I'm stumped.  Any thoughts??

    Some times Windows gets confused during installation, if there are strange things attached. USB before Windows for example is n o t  a good idea.
    Use absolute minimum parts for the installation of Windows, no extra USB things, PCI-cards, hard disks, sticks of memory etc. As little as possible!
    You can add all things after the installation is completed.
    A new Windows installation, then.
    This isn't a Windows issue.  I can disconnect everything (even the hard drive) and boot with just a monitor and keyboard, and the keyboard will not work to even access the BIOS (DEL key) unless it is in one of the USB3.0 ports.

  • 870A-G54 Realtek LAN crash when using Torrents

    The network card on my MSI 870A-G54 crashes when downloading or uploading using torrents. It takes around 20-30min until I lose network connection and I have to reset the network card to make it work again.
    I have tried all the official MSI driver, Windows Update driver and a driver downloaded directly from realtek but the problem remains. I'm using Windows 7 x64 and I have the latest BIOS version (updated today).

    Quote from: veckans on 11-February-11, 01:50:27
    It is not the clocks, I have ran this CPU for a year at these clocks unlocked. It's a solid clock.
    I cannot reproduce the error with or without clocks at the moment, don't know why.
    Maybe ,maybe you simply got flooded or something.Are you using a decent firewall to protect you ?!At least such firewall protects your hardware even if the connectivity still goes down.
    P2P is a "dangerous" thingy in many aspects.Make sure you use up to date clients.
    The CPU can go bad even if it worked one year too.That silicon had one core disabled due to an objective factor.

  • Yet another 870A-G54 not posting

    Recently purchased an MSI 870A-G54.
    Installed an X6 1055T 95W AMD Phenom II X6 processor and 2 PSD38G1333KH Patriot DDR3-1333 4GB memory sticks. All using a WIN+ Power 700 W power supply purchased at the same time.
    I have tested the machine on a piece of cardboard with just the above components connected together (and an nVidia 8600 GT 256Mb PCI-e video card)
    The system will not post or beep. The power LED's are all lit as well as the FSB control knob and the CPU fan does turn on. However, there is no video. As in, the monitor never wakes from suspend.
    I tested it with both a DVD-Rom and an HDD and the only thing different is that the DVD-Rom will seek, wait a second, then seek again. The same with the HDD.
    I have tried testing the system with 3 different video cards, all with the same result. There is no smell of burnt components, and nothing looks burned or broken.
    I removed the CMOS battery for 10 minutes and placed it back into the machine with no change as well.
    I have tried moving the memory sticks to different positions, or even just 1 memory stick. I also tried with a different brand of memory with no change. When the memory is removed, there are 3 long beeps, if it helps.
    Do I have a bad board or is something else wrong? If the board is bad, did it also destroy the new CPU and/or memory and/or video card(s).

Second, JPWR2, with its little double row making 8 plugs total. I don't see any other plugs on it and the instruction booklet didn't say to plug in anything else, power-wise.
    And, as I stated in the first post, I tested the machine with 3 different video cards all with the same results.
    As for an alternate power supply, I tried my old TAO Enterprise 470W that was in my old computer. No change.
    Also, from reading other posts on this forum, I feel I need to state a few obvious things that I have done to skip those steps and to give you more info.
    First, I did clear the CMOS by removing the jumper and battery for a length of time.
    Second, I checked the bottom and top of the board looking for damaged components. None were found. It looks the same as it does on the MSI website.
    Third, I checked the memory in all possible positions with both one and two sticks of the new memory and with the off-brand memory.
    Fourth, from reading the forum posts here, the moderators are big on the copy/paste post saying to remove it from the case and place it on a non-conductive surface and bare-bones check it. That is where is has been since the beginning. It has never been inside of a case. So a post saying to take it out of the case and put it on a piece of cardboard is not needed.
    Fifth, aside from the video card, everything else that is plugged into this system now, the CPU, memory and power supply, is brand new. So if it could possibly be the culprit of one of these other items (none of which I can check) then they need to be replaced instead of the motherboard.
    Sixth, while I am not a professional, this is not my first build. I have never had this kind of problem before.
    Seventh, it will not be as easy for me to send these parts back in, as I currently live in Japan and bought these components off of Amazon Japan. So if there is anything you can think of for me to try that may work, please let me know.

  • 870A-G54 - power management issues

    A power-management issue with standby. I've set standby to be "S3" in the BIOS - the system goes into standby fine and wakes up fine.
    The problem is, if the system is in standby for a few hours, at some point during that time, it turns itself off fully. As in, powered-down-pressing-the-power-button-causes-the-system-to-boot-from-scratch "fully off". This has happened three times so far (every time I've left the system on standby for a long period). This happens whether the BIOS "EuP 2013" setting is enabled or disabled.
    The duration of time is less than 4hrs, though I don't know what the cutoff is exactly.
    No power-cuts. ;-)
    Any suggestions? I don't know much about ACPI (had to look up what to set the "standby" to in the first place).
    MSI 870A-G54
    Athlon II x3 450
    Powercool 1gb AMD 5670 gfx
    2*2gb RAM
    Antec Earthwatts 380 Green PSU
    500GB Samsung HDD
    Windows XP SP3 32 bit
    NOT over/underclocked in any way.

    Right, I've been conducting some experiments to try and narrow this down.
    With the New powersupply (the Antec 380 Earthwatts):
    - S1 standby works fine.
    - S3 standby works for 12-13 minutes. After that the blinking-power-led stops blinking. If at this point I press the power-button, the computer does NOT turn on. It remains completely unresponsive. I have to wait about 2 more minutes before the power button starts responding, at which point I am booting from scratch (BIOS).
    With the Old powersupply, a non-brand (It says "COLORSit") 400w affair that's known-good.
    - S1 standby works fine.
    - S3 standby does not work at all. The system is powered-off but actually turns off fully rather than into standby. No flashing power-LED. Pressing the power button results in booting from scratch (BIOS).
    This old-powersupply was tested with the EuP 2013 both enabled and disabled.
    For both experiments the dvd-drive was disconnected, so we can rule that out too (though it was never really a contender. :-) )
    Given this, I'm inclined to rule out the powersupply as a cause - this is a years-old power-supply that I've never had a problem with.
    Anyone have any thoughts? I'm leaning towards motherboard, but standby isn't something I know much about, so I defer to the board for suggestions.
