MSI 890FXA-GD65 PCIe speed issue!! HELP PLEASE

I just finished building my new PC using this said motherboard. After a clean OS install, all updated drivers, etc... my PCIe link speed is stuck @ 8x. I have done everything possible to trouble shoot this issue, and no matter what I do (I played with PCIe MHz speed in Bios, put card in another slot, etc) it seems to be stuck on 8x speed. Im thinking since this is such a new motherboard, and no BIOS's are out for it yet, that this may be a BIOS issue, and I just need to wait for MSI to correct this???? Any suggestions ya'll?? TY

Since you're running an overclocked system, if you restore all settings to default what speed is reported then?
If I go into bios and "LOAD OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS" it goes to 16x speed.... Crazy!! Obvious bios bug here

MSI 990FXA-GD65 No Monitor Signal - Help Please!

Hi all,
I'm new to the forum and new to building too, so go easy
I've just put together a newly built computer, but i've been stuck on an issue i cant figure out for the last two days. I get no signal to any form of monitor i plug in. The mother board powers up, the graphics card and every thing else including fans, all power up, i get the 8 phase lights come on in blue on the motherboard, however i get a no signal on any monitor i try.
I have read through so posts and tried most things suggested, including, booting from 1 ram in the first slot, traying a different graphics card that i know works (did that and still no signal), rebuilding the setup again. nothing works.
When i turn it on it does make 2 quick little beep noises? it does this as it starts up. Find below a list of parts i've used:
MSI990FXA-GD65 Motherboard
Asus 7770 HD 2GB GDDR5 1020MHz Graphics Card
AMD FX 3.5GHz 14.mb Black Edition Processor
Corsair CX600M PSU
Crucial Ballistix 2x8GB Tactical PC3 Ram
Anybody able to offer some advice? Otherwise i cant think of anything to do but try a different mother board.
Thanks,
Ethan.

On the box that the board came in-Can you tell me what the S/N Number is?
should be a set of numbers---601-7640-110B1209066693..
That will tell us what bios you might have on this...
If I am guessing by what you put in your first post you have a fx 6300 vishera?
let me know
601-7640-100B1303048283 I cant see anything t5has says vishera, how would i find out?

Try each stick of ram alone then each in different ram slots. Make sure to clear the CMOS each time.
If that is of no help, try a different type of ram.
2 beeps = ram issue
Which CPU do you have exactly?
I have, no luck, made sure the power was off when i cleared CMOS as well. Is it likely both ram sticks are damaged? Or is it indicating there could be an issue on the mobo with the ram brackets?

Re: MSI P67A-GD65 (MS-7681) Serious help please!!!

what RAM is it and how many sticks do you have?
that +12V 8.096 V reading does seem odd but if i remember correctly some MSI boards would misread the +12V for some reason as it being that low even at a mild load of any kind even booting to the OS wou...

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!
Specs:
Mobo: msi 890fxa-gd65
Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

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.

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.

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...

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

Hello.I wanted to upgrade my iPad 1 to iOS 5.1 Over the Air.I was running iOS 5.0.1.It said it had an error connecting to server.It is already 5 hours i cant install this update.I also have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0.1 with the same issues.Help please!

You're probably running into the servers simply being swamped. Thousands of people are all going for the software update at the same time. Give it a try again and if that doesn't work, then try plugging it into your computer and trying it that way.
I didn't get a notion of the size, it doesn't seem to be as big as the 700 meg 5.0 update, but it did take me 20+ minutes to download via cable internet so it's a large file. That in and of itself takes a while.
If you're trying to download it directly to your iPhone, you'll need to be on wifi since I'm sure it's well over the 20 meg file size limit for 3G.

Recently i upgrade my iPad2 to 7.1(11D167) and now the wifi connection is very weak, I am not sure if it is a hardware or software issue, help please!

I am not sure, I have full signal on my iphone 5 and just 1 dot on my ipad, tomorrow I will test connection with other router and network, I thank you for your help and I will tell you the test result when done

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 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.

890FXA-GD65 PCI-E 1x port slow after Overclock.

Ok so at home my gaming rig which i just recently built around the 890FXa-GD65 is Wireless with the Dlink N PCI-e Card. I upgraded to this board from a NF750-G55,. Issues is that when ever I overclock in general the PCI-e ports go into a sluggish mode, reason why i know is because my wireless card relies on the pci-e port so internet is bogged down about 65% after overclock. Have ran speedtest.net with stock settings and Internet speed works fine, but then when i overclock and run the speedtest.net internet is tremendously slow. Could it be an option that gets disabled after overclocking that can be causing this to happen. On my MSI NF750-g55 this issue never happend! Help!

Hi ppl
After more than a year and i still maintain the same setup: mentioned in this topic. It's been performing very well, graphics wise.
Overall the W500 is a great laptop. It's been updated with a 256GB Samsung 830 SSD and nothing more.

All the best for You people

890FXA-GD65 Small memory issue.

Hello, I am having some difficult getting my memory to run at rated speeds when I try tweaking my bios settings I cannot get to to read at 1600, they default to 1333 1.5v so i changed the voltage in the bios to 1.666 reason i used 1.666 instead of 1.65 is because MSI control reads 1.65 as a lower voltage and 1.666 as 1.653. My first question is should I go by bios voltage or trust msi control in windows.
After changing my voltage my speeds stayed at 1333 so i changes the ratio when changing the ratio i can only set it to 1333, 1500, or 1800. So this brings me to my second question, why cant I get my memory to run at 1600.
Third question, should i just run my memory at 1800 and try CL 8 instead of 1600 and going for CL 7. Currently I have my memory running at 1500 with CL7 since i cant get it to 1600.
I'm a bit new to this so if I am missing so info on how memory speeds adjust please let me know
"I just really wanna run them at least at rated speeds lol"

Hi Scooter31,
Go into Bios and then enter Cell Menu. Before doing this if you are using any oc utility turn them off. After entering cell menu check CPU FSB, it should be at 200.(I suspect it is at 225). If you want to run cpu at 3.8 put fsb at 200 and set cpu multiplier at 19.
Next go to memory and enter fsb/ratio, should then see 1:2, 1:2.66, 1:3.33, 1:4. Enter the 1:4 and exit this category. Line below fsb/ratio should read 800 which being DDR is x2=1600!
Possibly move this topic to OCing and Modding.
Hope this helps.

MSI Z68A-GD65 G3 - Performance Issue

Hi Sir
Good Day!
I had bought this new system for a week ago as follows :-
MSI Z68A-GD65 G3
Intel Core I7 2600k
TeamElite DDR3 2133 PC3-10700 8GB 2x4GB
MSI GeForce GTX 550 TI
WD WDCWD10ealx 7200 1TB SATA6
Win 7 64 ULTIMATE
Asus DVD writer
Cool Master CM690 Advance II
Enermax 500W
Logitech K520.00
It having some performance issue after i updated the bios to new version n.30, before this was original version 23.0 come with motherboard.
I updated the bios using msi live update on yesterday.
What i noticed after updating to new bios, i can feel the performance had drop, when lauching a program, and sometime when typing webpages address or in the google typing word, what happen was the word seem to appearing slow to display. Not sure what happen.
I hope you guys can help me out, and please advise me what to do.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
Raja

If the system was working, why did you update the BIOS ?
If the previous BIOS worked for you, then flash back to that BIOS. Use the forum flasher >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Once you have flashed the BIOS do a CMOS clear. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

N8 wlan and hard reset issues, help please

Have a nokia N8, after installing Connectivity analyser beta from beta labs, my wifi reception has become very poor. i ave a wireless N router and before this date the signal was very strong. my friend has an N8 also, he tested the rooms i was having signal issues to see if the router was the problem, however he had excellent signal, leading me to think it was my phone. i uninstalled the app and he weak signal remained, i did a factory reset and the problem remeained, i did a hard reset and the problem is still there, I now have the added problem of no Ovi Suite and other Qt related app issues. Help please, this is really annoying. btw this is my second N8, really getting annoyed at Nokia now. any further specs, please ask

As synth_fg rightly points out it takes quite a bit of tinkering to recover from "hard reset" on N8. To give you an idea what would be involved:-
Download from Ovi Store website the sis installer of WordPress and install it on phone (wordpress install also Nokia Smart Install and all QT and PIPS components)
Launch Ovi Store on phone: which will download the .sis installer and should work without any error
Reinstall Social_1_2_update.sisx from here: http://nmota.messaging.nokia.com/clients/Social_1_2_update.sisx
At this point you are still without OVI Maps but you can install v3.06 pre-release from Nokia Beta Labs: http://betalabs.nokia.com/apps/ovi-maps-306 which will allow you to pinch to zoom on your N8
Happy to have helped forum with a Support Ratio = 42.5
