Msi 890FXA-GD65 And ATA133

How do i hook up my cd drives there's not spot to plug them in ? Please help ?

Yes i got one but you cant install windows without a sata Cd/dvd drive or you'll get the no driver found error with the ide adapter.
It's sound fantastic. I think you install it wrong or it broken. This device don't need any drivers.

  • Msi 890fxa-gd65 USB and video dying after extended use

    Multiple times this has happened to me. I will be playing a game for a while (2+ hours) and all the sudden my mouse, keyboard, and monitor will all black out and shut off. My computer is still running and the buttons on the front of the case to shut the computer off no longer work either.
    I know it's not a heat issue because i touched the heat sinks on the mobo and they are not hot at all.
    I have taken the board and exchanged it at frys; this is the 2nd board so i'm pretty sure its nothing wrong with the board.
    Help me please!

    Why then does MSi mainboard default to this speed?
    Steve64, do yourself a favour and search for RAM SPD profiles on the net. Memory module manufacturers write the SPD information to the EEPROM on the module. Motherboard BIOSes read the SPD information to configure the memory controller. If that SPD profile is not in line with the native RAM speed supported by the CPU, then the board's BIOS will be set to the incorrect memory speed as can be seen in this post. Its an industry design standard (JEDEC) and the memory manufacturer is the cause of the incorrect setting when the user buys an incompatible set of memory.
    The rest of your post has been removed as it adds no value to finding a solution.

  • Multiple Problems with MSI 890FXA-GD65

    I am having problems getting a clean build of new components to work.  The components are:
    motherboard is MSI 890FXA-GD65
    processor is AMD Phenom II X2 565 Callisto
    memory is 2x 4Gb G.Skill Ripjaws X model F2-12800CL9D (CAS 9, Unbuffered DDR3 1600)
    disk drive is a Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1 TB SATA III
    card is an MSI N460GTX Cyclone 768D5/OC.
    power supply is an Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W
    operating system is Windows 7
    All items are brand new, and being assembled for the first time, so nothing is overclocked.
    I have three problems.  First is that the video output is flaky.  I initially thought that the board wasn't POSTing, because I was getting no audible 'beeps' and there was no display output (does this board not have a speaker or speaker header?).  Through trial and error, I discovered that the board was POSTing, but I could not see anything because of a strange video problem:
    If the monitor is connected when the video output changes, then the video will not work, and disconnecting/reconnecting will not fix it. For example. If the video cable is plugged in during a cold start, I will get no video output. If I wait a few seconds until the Bios loads, and then plug in the video, then I get a video signal. However, if I leave it plugged in as the video output switches when Windows starts up, then I lose video again. Only by plugging in and then unplugging during the same video output mode can I use the output.
    I have tried 2 different video cards (same mdodel number) with the same result.  I have tried switching my memory with only 1 stick and with both sticks installed.  I don't have another processor to try.
    The second problem is that Windows will not run with the USB controller turned on in BIOS.  It starts 'loading files' and then just hangs.
    The third problem is that the MSI utility program will not run properly.  I tried to install the updated chipset drivers, but the installation hangs.
    Thanks for any help!!  I am on the verge of returning the board to NewEgg after many hours of trying to troubleshoot this build.

    Thanks for the reply.
    Sorry to be so newby, but where do I start memtest?  The reported BIOS is the same version/date code as what is available from MSI...
    >>Memtest86<<

    Thanks for the reply.  I am using the DVI output on the video card connected to a VGA monitor with an DVI-VGA adapter.
    No external USB connections have ever been installed.
    I don't have any other DDR3 laying around.  Is there a recommended memory list on the MSI site?  I couldn't find one.

    However its down to the CPU as memory controller is there.
    You should use AMD tested memory sticks

  • 890FXA-GD65 and possible USB Controller related issue?

    Hi all - Been having a bad time of it with a new system build for a little under a month now.  Have tried to capture my "notes" below, any idea of a root cause?  Is anyone aware of known issues with the board; the board and Windows 7; the board and some other component(s)?
    My issue:  During Windows 7 x64 installation or startup, the system will freeze at the "Starting Windows" screen.
    My system specifications:
    MOTHERBOARD: MSI 890FXA-GD65  (BIOS ver 18)
    CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555 @ stock speed  (HDZ555WFGMBOX)
    MEMORY: DDR3 1600 2X4GB G.Skill Ripjaws-X [DIMM1 & DIMM2] (F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL)
    VIDEO CARD: XFX Radeon HD 5670 512MB (HD-567X-YNF3)
    HARD DRIVE(s): 2 x Western Digital 500GB 7200 drive (WD5000AAVS)
    POWER SUPPLY: Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W
    Windows 7 x64 (Ultimate edition, retail)
    This problem has existed since I first built the system and is consistently reproducable.
    I am able to avoid the issue by disabling the USB Controller in BIOS prior to initiating the Windows installer.  This will allow me to proceed through Windows installation, but as soon as the USB Controller is enabled once again, the issue recurs.  Having to disable USB support is undesirable.
    I'm now on my second 890FXA-GD65 motherboard, having RMA'ed the first board after a fairly brief exchange with MSI tech support(2 replies, with the eventual suggestion of RMA for a faulty USB controller).  So I went through the RMA process with the online retailer, receiving a new board today.
    The problem is that the RMA replacement behaves in exactly the same manner.  Normally this would suggest to me that the problem may lie with one or more of the other components, but I've not been able to identify issues with any of them.  One obvious suggestion would be to try swapping out components, but my resources are constrained on that front - video card happens to be the only component for which I have a alternate that I can test with, actually.
    As far as troubleshooting investigation, here's what I've done/observed:
    1. Windows installation/startup will succeed if the USB Controller is disabled in BIOS.
    2. The same behavior can be observed with a Windows Vista installation disk as well.
    3. When loading Windows in safe mode, the last driver file loaded was disk.sys
    4. Memtest86+ (v4.2), repeated full passes reveal no issues with the system memory.
    5. While seeming that it would be an unlikely factor, I have swapped out video cards(to an eVGA 8800 GTS 320MB), but observed the same issue still exists.
    6. Running in a single DIMM configuration affected no change.
    7. Have disconnected one or the other of the hard drives with no change.
    8. The BIOS version installed is equivalent to the latest(and only) version posted on the MSI support site.
    So...any ideas on what's left to try?  I've done enough reading online to notice that I'm not the only person to have observed this behavior, but have yet to encounter any explanation of it nor a resolution.
    Any suggestions?

    Trying to catch the points that weren't explicitly spoken to by me in the last attempt:
    @Stu - Regarding testing with zero USB devices connected - this was done as part of troubleshooting and it has no observable effect, so I think that I can rule out a bad USB device being the culprit and I apologize for not making that clear previously.
    @Frederik - I've done a little more legwork on the memory item.  Troubleshooting, for the most part, has been executed with this memory set to run as DDR1333 @ 1.5V as that is what the board auto-defaults to(the kit is rated as DDR1600 @ 1.5V)  It was at the defaulted setting that I ran memtest86+ and no errors were reported.
    I've also just now made an attempt to run this memory as DDR1066 at 1.65V and still there is no change in results.  In my research on this specific kit, I have not run into accounts like mine - in the accounts that I have read regarding a poor experience with the kit, memory has either been been obviously bad, for which failures are reported in diagnostics like memtest. ...or, I suppose that there's also the random guy complaining about his overclock not working or the memory speed defaulting to the wrong value in BIOS. 
    Frankly, I don't want to battle any particular component and I owe no allegiance to this make of memory.  I do want to try to be objective, given that I'm stuck with these modules until I make the decision to RMA.  As such, I had read what info is available out there - prior to purchase, I hadn't noted so many reports of issues with this kit across a considerable sample size of feedback so as to cause me initial concern, or else I would have gone with a different kit/different brand.  Probably will do that anyways, next time, but in the meantime, I'm afraid of this being a distraction.  If both myself and this other person(drgan) had both been using the same memory kit, and thus it was more likely to be the common thread, I'd certainly be more inclined to this line of reasoning.  But since he's using Kingston and in the few other accounts of a system freezing on USB controller enabled status I've noted varied memory kit brands, it doesn't seem to me to be an obvious culprit.  But if not, then what's left to consider?  The other interesting factor to me is that the issue appears to be Windows-centric....but... 

  • MSI 890FXA-GD65 North Bridge Temperatures

    Hi there I have recently purchased the MSI 890FXA-GD65 for a new build. The thing that suprises me is that the temps on the North Bridge are very random. It normaly stays in the 55 C- 65 C range, but it is constantly jumping up and down in a matter of seconds. For example it goes from 58C to 65C in a second and then could drop to 55C the next second and after that could jump to 70C and it just continues playing. I am wondering if anyone else has the same issue with the readings and what could be the cause of ti?

    I am waiting for a memory at the moment. However the airflow in my case is more than adequate, GPU idles at 30C and does not exceed 50 under load with the fan at 25% of the max speed. The CPU is well cooled with no fans on the heatsink (Thermalright Black 120), idling at 25C and going to 45C under load and overclocked. The RAM modules are very cool on touch as well and my MB shows constant temperature of 28C - 30C. I think its something wrong with the diode, because there is no way that the temp would jump from 55 to 70 in a second and the next second to come back down to 60. I was just wondering if someone else has similar thing with their mobo. I have got 3 year warranty on it so I am not that worried about it, plus it is not crashing or anything, its just the readings.
    P.S. I forgot to mention that this is not detected as NB on any program. Instead on AIDA64 shows up as AUX temperature, and on HW Monitor comes up as TMPIN1, but I read it corresponds to NB usually. Plus this is the warmest part on touch.

  • Msi 890fxa-gd65 1 beep begins to post then shuts down...help?

    Hey I just purchased a 890FXa-gd65 board this week and have a phenom 2 x4 970z in it with corsair 2x4GB 1333 ram thats made for phenom 2, i looked it up on corsairs website to make sure. Im using 2x XFX 5850 graphics and an OCZ Agility 3 sata 6/gbps SSD along with two WD Caviar blacks. This is a new build, although i tried using a phenom 2 x4 965 originally but had same problem. so, i boot up get a single beep the comp begins to post and then shuts down. vie tried dif ram and now have tried a dif cpu. vie tried using only 1 graphics card at a time and switching between 1 and the other. always gets the same response. i do not have the sad or hard drives plugged in either. originally i was using corsair vengeance 1600mhz ram but thought that was the issue because of the speed being to high so i got some 1333 just to make sure and it still is doing the same thing. i really don't know what to do at this point. in the 15yrs vie been building comps for myself and others vie never hit a brick wall like this. any suggestions? just to make sure i tried running just the board ram cpu and video card onto of the motherboard box it came in, as msi tech suggested....still nada

    i have a corsair 850HX 850watt. Nevermind It turned out after getting a friend to plug some diagnostic hardware into it we found out it was a dud mobo. I RMAed it and after plugging everything into a new board things worked fine. sorry i wasted your time. i appreciate the help you give to people who need it, thanks again.

  • MSI 890FXA-GD65 not posting please help!!!

    Hi everyone I am new to the site and I am doing my second build first time with a MSI board here are my componets.
    1: MSI 890FX-GD65
    2: AMD PHENOM II X4 980 BLACK EDITION 3.7 AM3 SOCKET
    3: G.SKILL Sniper Low Voltage Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)

    5:  CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 V2 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply\
    Here is the issue I did the minum connections before putting the computer in the case to make sure it would POST, but it doesn't. The motherboard speaker doesn't make a sound but the 8 led lights on top of the MOBO are all lit. I cant get any response from my monitor when its hooked up to my video card. the fan from the PSU and video cards are spinning but again no POST can anyone help Me with this thank you., also I used a second power supply and still no POST or response from the monitor but again all the fans are working and all 8 of the led lights are lit at the top of the MOBO. once again thanks for your help.

    Good evening!
    All parts are new?
    Use a single stick of memory.
    Recheck all power connections are well in place, and don't forget the one near and for the processor.
    Don't think that is the problem, but for good measure you should also reseat the graphics card.
    I'm not sure whether this mobo has a speaker.

  • MSI P67A-GD65 and other 1155's whine

    Hello MSI and community.
    Recently I decided to build a PC especally for minimun noise.
    I waited a long time for the B3 boards so I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of returns. Sadly this didn't work out.
    First of all I ordered the cheapest and first mobo(gigabyte ph67-ud-b3) that was relesed. Soon as I plugged it in and Windows 7 got to boot screen (from the DVD) it started giving off a high pitched whine.
    After alot of research I RMA it and ordered a Asus P8H67-M LX. Loaded it up and thought woohoo no whine, then as soon as windows finishes installing the drivers (first time on windows) of goes the whine again.
    I RMA that 1 too and bought the MSI P67A-GD65 advertized as "whistle free" as well as people on another forum saying they didn't hear anything from theirs. This one does the same but I can't keep sending back boards for RMA and want to keep this one so I'm here hoping to try and resolve the issue with MSI.
    I have tested these boards with Casecom 500w, ozc gamextream 700w, antec true power 650w and coolermaster pro m 600w with them behind a door to eliminate any fan noise.
    MSI GPUS: 8800GS, 8800GTX and 560TI as well as onboard from the h67 board.
    I've tried many differant BIOS settings, nothing but disabling C-STATE (fully disabled) effected it. (I havn't manually played with volts)
    On the other 2 boards I noticed it seemed to dim when I unplugged all USB devices and in their BIOS it was c3/c6 I had to disable, MSI board doesn't whine as loud as the other 2 but it's more constant but with a morse code type theme to it which seems to be coming from CPU socket whenever the PC is idle, it's equally noisy from either side of the board. It's very annoying and accually gives me a headache as maxium distance.   
    Alot of people have said their 1155 board don't make a sound but 3/3 for me have so I'm not sure what to think.
    I'm currently running with c-state disabled but Turbobooster only seems to go to 25% and slower clock speed on my i5-2500k and I assume for power usage, all things I don't want.
    Can you give any information at all? Might it be possible to correct with a BIOS update? I'm open to any suggestions and will keep checking back here.
    Hope you will be able to work with me on this issue.
    Thank you in advance, I've prefered to go with MSI all my computering life.
    Paul

    Used the same CPU cooler on all three? That would be my wild guess.
    I test it fanless of course  but no I have used mutiple heat sinks aswell.
    Quote
    What's wrong with throttling down at idle or low usage? Who sits at a stop light with the engine at full throttle?
    I'm not too sure what disabling C-state accually does but when running Orthos I saw speed was at 3.6ghz instead of the 3.3 while disabled.

    Contact MSI Tech Support by opening a ticket & ask them. This is a user to user forum, being as such, MSI will most likely never read your thread.

  • MSI P67 GD65 and 1600mhz RAM

    Picked up a MSI P67a-GD65 to replace my faulty (and by faulty, not SATA port faulty)Gigabyte UD3P.  Anyways.  I had a stable overclock of 4.7ghz on that board so I assumed w/ close voltages Id hit that on this board.  Ive spent the last 2 days trying to get it stable to no avail.  Dropped the speed to 4.5ghz even w/ same voltages and nothing.
    Finally I dropped my RAM speed from 1600mhz c8 to 1333 c9.  System is stable at 4.7 no problem now.  The ram has been used for awhile without any issues on 2 other boards (P55a-UD3 and P67a-UD3P) and memtest checks out.  Is there a problem w/ the 1600mhz strap on this board?  Ive read other people have issues with certain RAM speeds as well (although it varys).  Specs below!

    Screw you ELvis  This is doz from OCF, was hoping to find someone from MSI chime in on the problem!  Getting frustrated.  I have some new GSkill 1600mhz c8 2x4gb on the way as my wife eats up the RAM editing pictures in photoshop and bridge at the same time.  Maybe its the RAM, but it hasnt given me an ounce of problems yet!  Maybe Ill try some 2000mhz C9 that I have laying around at 1866mhz and see if it likes that.
     Any more of that and you will have problems you didn't expect.

  • MSI 890FXA-GD70 and 3Ware 9750-4i BIOS issues

    This is my second build with this motherboard.  This post is just to help anyone who might be trying to get similar hardware combinations to work.
    The BIOS revision is 1.7, which was the revision the board came with.
    When running with a 3Ware 9750-4i board you will find that the 3Ware BIOS will complain about not being able to install.  At first it was complaining about the motherboard BIS not providing enough RAM to live in, but after I set the on-board SATA controller to AHCI is stopped complaining and just didn't show up at all.
    Now, don't be discouraged if you aren't booting from the 3Ware controller, because this won't stop it from working.  When the OS loads the driver, everything is fine.
    I suspect it would also work if you completely disabled the on-board controller, but that wasn't an option for me.  I wanted to run three additional HDs and two optical drives on that controller, as well as the four drives on the 3Ware.
    I kept experimenting with slot positions for the cards, but nothing produced a change at all.
    Finally I spent time in the OS trying to make the AHCI drivers for the on-board controller work with connect/disconnect.  There appeared no way in Win7 x64 to get any AHCI drivers to load but the default Microsoft ones, which don't support hot-swap or even connect/disconnect.
    It appeared to me that the only AHCI drivers supplied by AMD or MSI specifically work only when the controller is in RAID mode.  So I tried setting the controller to RAID mode in the BIOS, and discovered that it now played nice with the 3Ware BIOS.  Now I am going to reinstall Windows 7 with the 3Ware drivers and select a 3Ware drive to boot from, to see if I can get the AMD or MSI-supplied drivers to work with the on-board controller.  I suspect I will get all the features promised then.  If I don't, I will return here and report the results.

    I completed the new install of Win7 - this time with the 3ware controller as the primary, and the on-board SATA set to RAID.
    First, I had to load drivers for the on-board RAID during the install, just to let the install continue.  Then I had to load drivers to tell Win7 about the drive where I wanted to install.  I thought it would ask for both up front, but it wouldn't take both - it only wanted the drivers for the controller to which the DVD was connected.  THEN, after it was ready to ask for a location for the install, it let me put the 3ware drivers up.
    Once the system was loaded, I was disappointed to find that none of the on-board RAID drives showed up in the add/remove dialog, but I was able to use a utility to make them work with hot-swapping.  It is called Hotswap!
    http://mt-naka.com/hotswap/index_enu.htm
    and it allowed me to connect/disconnect drives plugged into the on-board controller housed in the Thermaltake MAX-2533.
    With the settings like that, the BIOS issues disappear, with both the on-board RAID and the 3ware co-existing nicely.  This indicates to me that there is likely something wrong with the standard AHCI BIOS-related screen that makes the 3ware controller unhappy.  I doubt the 3ware is the only BIOS-installing card to feel that way, so if you have your drives set to AHCI, but have issues with any other cards, you might look into setting the drives to RAID or to IDE (though you lose some features like NCQ)
    I also forgot to mention that I also have a four-port PCI-Express NIC from Intel in the system, so I have updated the system summary below:
    MSI 890FXA-GD70 | AMD Phenom II X6 1090T | ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX-B | CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B |  HIS Silence H557HR1G Radeon HD 5570 | Antec Solo Black case | Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2 | 3ware LSI00216 (9750-4i) | Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port NIC | Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS (x7) | Thermaltake MAX-2533 | Plextor PX-L890SA | Plextor PX-B940SA-11

  • MSI 890FXA-GD65 Info Needed

     Hi All,
          I willing to purchase the 890FXA-GD65 motherboard after checking out its features and price. I would like to know if this board supports Crossfire at                  full 16x/16x bandwidth. Please suggest some websites to know about the full 16x/16x bandwidth crossfire and capable AMD motherboards.
          Also, please tell me the notable feature difference compared to the 890FXA-GD70 motherboard and also to the new 990FXA series motherboards.
     Thanks....:D

    Well, seems that there may be some inconsistency on the website with regards to the AM3 and AM3+ classification then:
    When selecting AM3+ socket boards only the 990s are filtered. See here.
    Thus my earlier response. Apologies if that was incorrect.
    Also found the following information which may explain it.
    Quote
    Difference Between AM3+ and AM3 Socket
    - Socket AM3+ socket has an extra pin
    - The AM3+ motherboard will have bigger hole. This increased the current carrying capacity and eases processor insertion into the motherboard.
    - The bigger hole also increase the signal integrity as has been claimed.
    - The clips to hold the fans have improved design that will make the CPU cooler.
    - AM3+ sockets are backward compatible with the AM3 sockets
    - If you have invested in the older AM3 socket consult your motherboard manufacturer. Probably a BIOS upgrade will make it work with bulldozer processr.
    - Bulldozer processors require AM3+ socket, but a AM3 socket may also work with BIOS upgrade. Check with motherboard manufacturer.

  • Msi 890fxa-g65 and two radeon 6950 video cards

    Hi,
    So far I have the one radeon 6950 with the MSI msi 890fxa-g65 motherboard. I was thinking of getting another 6950 down the road and was wondering if anyone was able to fit two 6950 video cards on a msi 890fxa-g65 motherboard.
    It seems a bit tight. Also I currently have an Ultra brand 750W PSU. Is that enough?
    Thanks.
    Mike

    Quote from: zerohedge101 on 27-March-11, 22:58:58
    Thank for the response. The main impedance is on the motherboard connections for the front panel of the computer case. These pins are located at the bottom of the motherboard where the 6950 video card goes. The pin connections and the wire stick out quite a bit and the video card might crush them a little.
    Is there some sort of adapter for those pin connections to make them go on a 90 degree instead of straight out. This is the only impedance to get that video card in really. The case is big enough even though its only a mid -tower.
    Thanks for any help.
    Yes, those are you HDD, power and stand-by switch connectors I believe.  Yes, I have seen 90* adapters but I don't remember where.  It might come with the case attachments or a Mobo I put together about a year ago.  In any case, take your existing card and "gentaly" place it into that bottom slot without the pins inserted (mark or draw a little graph as to where those pins go).  See if you still have a little bit of room for your connectors.  Also, what kind of connectors are we talking here?  USB external pins are here to.  If you can live with just the MoBo USB ports, then forget the external USB connection then.  That way, simply put that card in and GO!  Try it out.

    Ok, so just plugged everything up and it sticks.  I am looking at the MB and it says code 2e. 
    I saw some postings with the 2e code but can't seem to find anything specific on it.
    Please help!

    Go with just 1 stick of RAM for now.
    Next, disconnect both hard drives. Can you enter BIOS?
    Not sure if it makes a difference, but try both DVI ports
    In meantime, ask around if you can borrow a video card. Svet knows BIOSes, if he says it's VGA error...
    Any old PCI-E will do the job - like Radeon 1300/2400/3400 nVidia 7300gt/8400/9400 ...
    You have a lot of stuff in the manual.
    Make sure your systems is not OC'd (page 2-21)
    Also look at LED indicators (page 2-26) maybe you'll notice something suspicious.
    You also have a green power switch (page 2-20) and dedicated LED on the MoBo, so try both options.

  • MSI 990FXA-GD65 and Sapphire 7870 XT Tahiti - only 4 cards working

    Hi
    I am trying to use more than 4 GPU of 7870XT Tahiti working on MSI 990FXA-GD65, but only 4 GPUs are visible. In control panel (device lists) there is 5th when I use all x16 slots, but it looks as below:
    I use PCI-E 1x-16x and 16x-16x risers, also tried to short pins responbile for graphic card detection.
    Win 7 64-bit , tried Catalyst 13.1, 13.4 , power supply Lepa 1600W, CPU Sempron x2 190, 2GB RAM
    Please help with this issue.

    You have already been advised using more graphics cards than what is supported is not going to work. That is a user to user support answer that was provided. This is not MSI but a user to user forum of MSI products. MSI is not involved here, and the opinions & statements here are not connected to them in any official manner. Your question has been answered. This thread should now probably be locked.

    It is sad MSI cannot support their customers in professional way no matter what they are using their equipment for. It is my private matter and counted on support. Thanks anyway
    Sorry, that is not going to fly! Would Ford Motor Company or Smith & Wesson willingly offer support to a bank robber knowing the intended purpose of their product?
