MSI 870S-C45 (FX) AMD 870+SB850 Skt Mainboard

I have brought a MSI 870S-C45 (FX) AMD 870+SB850 Skt mainboard installed it put in my processor a AMD FX quad core 3.6ghz turn it on and everything comes on fans going there is power but nothinh shows up on the monitor what could be wrong it is all installed correctly

 What more do we need?
 How about all of the parts in your PC, that's what. We don't ask just to be a PITA. If you want help we need to know what parts you have including brand names and model names/numbers. Example is your remark about PSU, 500W means almost nothing by itself, more important is what brand it is and amps on the +12V rail(s).
 See my signature below for example of the kind of information to provide.

  • MSI 770-C45 - Windows Install stuck on 'system is starting windows'

    Hello,
    I am trying to get a machine setup, everything seems to be booting fine and nothing wrong hardware wise.  When I attempt to install Windows XP Pro SP1 or Windows 7 Pro, I don't get to the 'select partition' step.  It gets stuck on 'system is starting windows' each time.
    I have flashed the bios to the latest (1.4) and it didn't help it either.  When looking online I just find too many individual problems and answers to this issue.  I am at work now so when I get home I will update with more info as well as try a few more troubleshooting steps.

    As a note, I am troubleshooting a friends computer that he was setting up.  Further troubleshooting steps by me:
    Fredrik, I was unable to find the speed/memory handling option in the BIOs to change it down to UDMA2.
    I don't have a spare set of DDR3 Ram to test that out.  Have a spare PSU to test with but haven't done that yet.
    Switched out the DVD Drive to a Lite-On IT Corp. Model LH-52C1P DVD burner and it got stuck on 'Setup is loading files (Windows Executive)'
    Attempted to switch out the IDE Cable for the DVD Drive and found I couldn't put a new one into the Motherboard.
    Seems two pins (one over the other on the far left side) are bent just a little out of place and are loose.  Looks like I might need to exchange the board for a new one by the looks of it.

    The memory controller on the Athlon II X2 CPUs support up to 1066mhz RAM so might I suggest a 2 x 2GB 1066mhz kit.

  • MSI 870-C45 with HD5770

    Hi,
    I have question about motherboard 870-C45. Does this MB support VGA card Radeon HD 5770? Concretely Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5 11163-17-20G?
    I have tried to find at MSI 870-C45 page on MSI.com, but I can not find information about supported new VGA.
    Thanks

    I read on Saphire web page that HD5770 requires min. 450 W So what is true? I discuss about PSU with one of the best PC company in our country and they say: it is OK to have 400 W Seasonic

  • MSI 870-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard/ video problem

    yes i have the MSI 870-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard and the (SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card (100314-3L )) video card and every so often my video stops and freezes then it resets and run fine for anywhere from 5 mins up to 2+ hours what can be causing this? my power supply has way more power then is needed. all hardware is correct and properly working and updated and meets/is way above the required/recommended system requirements please help me both sapphire and when i have called msi they haven't been able to help

    Quote
    yes he did try doing that and i still have the problem
    If he tried the VGA in another computer and the problem carried over, it is a bad vga. (So long as there is adequate power)
    Do both computers have the same psu? What are the 12v rail amp ratings on the psu's? (Radeon HD 6870 - 28A and a 500W PSU minimum)

  • MSI 870-G45 - something odd is going on with MSI

    Ok, this is convoluted but bear with me.
    I bought the MSI 870-G45 (MS-7599 v2.x) motherboard from Newegg. Newegg listed the chipset as the AMD 870. However, when I received the motherboard, the manual states that the chipset is actually the RX 780 (a.k.a. AMD 770 a chip from 2007/08!), I checked in CPU-Z and confirmed this. I built a rig with this motherboard on 8/15/2010.
    I have been having all sorts of issues. These include memory errors when running memtest86+ or HCI memtest.
    Today I come on to the MSI website to do some research on the motherboard and I see that the MSI 870-G45 is now listed as a "NEW" product and the chipset is now the AMD 870, as I originally thought. In fact, MSI has two versions of the 870-G45, depending on what link you visit. See the two links below:
    http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=2070
    http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=&prod_no=2019#menu
    The version I ended up with is the one in the first link.
    Now, I have the AMD Athlon II X4 635. The product info page at AMD states that the voltages should be between .85v and 1.25v. ( http://products.amd.com/en-gb/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=625 ) However, even though the BIOS of this motherboard (the version with the 770 chipset, which is the one I got) supports this CPU, the "Auto" CPU voltage setting sets the voltage at ~1.35v - above the specs specified by AMD! Wondering if this might also be a cause of the difficulties I am having, I lowered it to 1.12. Running some more tests to see if this has improved stability.
    So, two versions of one motherboard, with confusing numbering and Auto voltage that exceeds the specs from the CPU manufacturer. What the heck is going on?
    Another issue is that the manual states on page 2-6 (21 on the PDF) states that to be in dual channel mode, I need to put my two DIMM cards in the slots DIMM1 and DIMM2. However, further down the page under the heading "Important", it states:
    In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type
    and density in different channel DIMM slots.
    This seems to be contradictory, but it is probably just me. Does it mean I install the two DIMMs in DIMM1 and DIMM2 or DIMM1 and DIMM3?

    Thank you both for your input. I mistakenly thought this was run by MSI. Feel stupid. But since you were so kind to respond, I'll post my full system specs as you suggested:
    AMD Athlon II X4 635 CPU
    MSI 870-G45 AM3 Motherboard
    G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ)
    GIGABYTE 1GB GeForce GTX 460
    SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM
    ASUS DRW-24B1ST SATA 24X DVD Burner
    OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP 600W ( +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@25A, +12V2@25A, [email protected], [email protected] )
    OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
    Also just discovered that there are two versions of my CPU (C2 and C3 revisions). Perhaps that is where some of the confusion regarding voltages lie. Again, feel stupid.
    Issues in a nutshell:
    Computer ran fine for about 10 days. Then booted up a game and got crazy artifacts everywhere. Windows 7 also showed some artifacts when I went back to desktop. OS never crashed though. Windows has never crashed. Because of this, I suspected that my GPU went bad. Ran OCCT GPU test, Furmark and ATI tool and have artifacts on all three. Artifacts appear immediately upon starting test, so I don't think it is temperature related. Temp of GPU is under 40 C idle and highest under load is 77 C, which falls in line with what I read in reviews for card.
    Now, before RMAing by video card with Newegg, I decided to download memtest86+ and run it. Just a hunch. I got an error on the first pass in test 2. However, I continued to run the test and saw no more errors. Ran the test again overnight for hours and could not recreate error. Thinking I may have gotten a false positive, I ran HCI Memtest (this one runs in Windows) and ran it for a few hours. That reported multiple errors as well. Now I am trying to run the test with one DIMM at a time to see if I can isolate which stick it is.
    So I guess my questions are:
    * What are the chances that I got a bad GPU and bad RAM from Newegg? Anything is possible but I thought that getting two lemons was unlikely, and when I then saw the discrepancies in the motherboard info on MSIs website I started to wonder.
    * Could bad DRAM have any effect on GPU - as in displaying artifacts. Or would this strictly be a GPU issue?
    * A member at another forum warned against leaving voltage settings in BIOS at Auto. This is what led me to look up the specs at AMDs website. What do you think about this recommendation.
    Sorry if I came off a little harsh, I thought I was addressing MSI the company and was a bit miffed by two different versions of a board and with the fact that newegg was improperly stating the specs.
    I appreciate any help you can give.

  • MSI 870-G45 Checking NVRAM Hang

    I just built a new computer, and it often hangs when restarting by doing one of two things.
    1. It hangs at "Checking NVRAM" right after the HDD's are detected.
    2. The motherboard beeps 4 times, and then says a BIOS update has been requested via USB. It does a little routine checking for a USB and then telling me I haven't inserted a USB 3 times before it automatically restarts the computer. Sometimes it'll beep 4 times again and do the same thing, sometimes it'll go into the "Checking NVRAM" error, and sometimes it'll boot fine.
    Essentially, it's hit-or-miss if it'll hang or not on either of those. I'd say about 80% of the time it does.
    Here's my specs:
    Antec Three Hundred Case
    Antec Truepower New 750W Modular Power Supply
    MSI 870-G45 Motherboard
    AMD Athlon II X2 255 CPU
    Corsair VS2GB1333D3 2GB DDR3-1333 RAM (in the first slot)
    ASUS Radeon HD 5450 Silent 1GB PCI-E Video Card
    2 x DVD drives
    6 x SATA drives
    Here's what I've tried so far:
    1. Disconnect everything except memory & video card
    2. Boot motherboard out of the case
    3. Reset CMOS via the jumper and by removing the battery
    4. Flash BIOS with the newest version
    Any ideas?

    Long story short;
    New computer, Alls well, start gaming, crashes, "HTSF error".
    System Idles and can take less graphically advance games just fine, but lasts 3 seconds in more graphically demanding games. Not the video card. I've Tested it in multiple computers already.
    Things I've tried;
    lowering the HT-Link frequency to 1800 (x8) and keeping NB-CPU at 2000
    Disabled C'n'Q and other power saving utilities
    Increased memory voltage
    A few people mentioned to disable HPET under power management, but i cant seem to find it =\
    Tried updating the BIOS but SureHands Live Update didn't find anything, and I dont know where to DL the archive directly.
    I was also told to increase CPU voltage as well, but thought I'd check here first and see what people in the know, know.
    Heres the numbers:
    CPU-Voltage -- 1.390
    CPU_NB-Voltage -- 1.265
    DRAM-voltage -- 1.750 (Up from 1.50)

    Try different brand memory and you know soon enough.
    HT errors are hard to find and can be anything from: Memory, CPU, motherboard, videocard to bad powersupply.
    Typical they are cause by Memory, videocard or powersupply.
    As you are using Gskill, that would be my first to replace with El-Cheapo stick and see what happens.
    Even when memtest doesn't error.
    I have no spare DDR3 sticks onhand and the stores around here carry the expensive kind only =\
    note on the video card though, Noticed mine was missing 2 brass connector pins on the card itself. Looks like they broke off in the old mainboard i had. Pulled my brothers video card and im going to test that in a second.
    Also, when I ended the stress test, boy was my system toasty.

  • MSI 870S-G46 8GB Ram Installed/Detected 4GB Usable W7U-x64

    Hey folks,
    So I have a rather iritating issue. I just upgraded to a MSI 870S-G46 and I have been having issues with my ram. I have 2 4GB DDR3 "1600mhz" sticks made by Kingston.
    I AM running Windows 7 x64, infact I have done a clean install periodically through testing on my secondary drive. Same results. A pic just to make the point. (Alt+printscreen ftw!)
    The bios has been updated to latest. Via usb. Set to optimum and poked with too. (Don't see any force remap switch... so I assume this board is supposed to always do remapping...)
    I have tried both reseating(XD Been seated a good 4 times now in all for an identical result)...
    AND another cpu(even reseated said other cpu once). No change.
    Even tried with the stock heatsink that isn't as firm on as mine clamps down.
    ... And a fresh install several times throughout this process on aforementioned secondary drive.
    Both ram sticks are good, have tried both individually in slot 1, and both combinations of slot 1 and 2. (This board has slot 1/2 and 3/4 paired with same color.)
    @.@... ... ... Elp?

    this recently happened to me, i updated my bios because i kept getting IRQL errors. the errors have stopped but now i have only 4gb usable from 8gb. (g.skill 1600 ram) slot 1 and slot 2.
    when i put in slot 1 and slot 4 it read all 8gb but its very unstable. the IRQL happens 5 minutes in and boot takes a long time (other BSOD too). i tried lowering the speed but still no good.
    im on bios version h.C0, updated thru live update.

     Why did you buy a 3 channel memory RAM kit made to be used on an Intel X58 chipset MB and then stick it in an AMD system that has 2 channel memory?
    Yes, I was thinking this as well.  Also, PSU is insufficient for system.

  • MSI 770-C45 locking up/blue screening/other errors on boot

    I recently built a new HTPC and have been having allot of problems getting it to boot.  It may take 10-15min of trying to boot up over and over with random blue screens, lockups, or errors that the C drive needs to be checked for consistency before Windows will finally load up and work.  At first I thought it was a bad drive, but according to Western Digital’s HDD Diag util, both the controller and the drives surface checks out OK.  I just wiped the drive out and reinstalled Windows 7 again, and this time went with IDE instead of AHCI, hoping it was a driver issue.  It only worked well for a day before the same problems started rearing their ugly head again.
    At this point I don’t know if I have a memory issue, a CMOS setting wrong (which are All Auto), or what.  I hoping someone here might have an idea of what this problem could be.

    According to MSI, my motherboard supports the following modules:
    DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600*(OC)
    http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=656&prod_no=1812
    This are the speeds of the DDR 3 RAM supported ,1600Mhz beeing done with overclocking ,because the CPU memory controller is no able to do 1600 by default.
    Quote from: Mavrick007 on 23-July-10, 02:39:51
    When I look at the test results for my Motherboard:
    http://www.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1812.pdf
     I see 1333 RAM list like PC11000 DDR III RAM (DDR-1333).  However, If I go to a site like Bestbuy or NewEgg and search for DDR3 1333, it shows results like Corsair - 2-Pack 2GB PC3-10666 DDR3 DIMM Memory Kit.  I see PC3-10666 and PC3-10600, but nothing for PC11000.
    The only mention of 1333 modules on the test report is for 1333 OC
    When you see the PC 11000 DDR3 or PC3 10666 specifications they are refering to the theoretical bandwidth ,it s related to the frequency of course ,but it s something else it s a data rate.Its wikipedia but it s good enough -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_3 Some specs are atipical like 10666 ,marketing thngyes
    Search the internet for memory that works ok with your CPU ,look for "real" DDR 3 1066Mhz or DDR 3 1333Mhz."real" means that that memory should be able to run at those frequencies without voltage increase over the default one.Usually when a memory vendor says you need to increase voltage for a specific frequency it means that you overclock and that there is no warranty they will work in your configuration.
    So you need DDR 3 1066Mhz or DDR 3 1333Mhz ,it needs to be AMD tested memory and it needs to be a known to work RAM on MSI motherboards timings wise.Look up on newegg and see what works.
    The performance gaps between 1066 and 1333 are small in real practice and you can overcome some loss by using a "real" DDR 3 1066Mhz , tweaking different timings ,using Command Rate of 1T for example ( you may "feel" it smoother in desktop than a 1333Mhz at 2T).
