Msi 990fxa-gd65 posting problem

hello all,
 have bought a MSI 990fxa-gd65 motherboard and the amd fx 8350 processor
built it in a new system case and now it is not posting at all
all the fans are working my dvd player works, hard disk is working but nothing on my display at all
no beeping sounds and the display stays black
put in another video card no luck (working card from another computer)
put in another cpu amd fx 8120 no luck (working cpu from another computer)
put in memory amd entertainment edition 1233 no luck (working memory from crosair  1233 from another computer no luck)
 850 watt powersupply (chandged it with 480 watt from another working computer no luck)
is there a big problem with my motherboard or is ther something i missed???
i am out of options sorry for the bad englisch hope someone can help me out
John

hi there
the following is in the case
850 watt powersupply it is checked and working
nvidia videocard gtx560 3072mb checked and working
amd memory entertainment edition ddr3 4gb 1333mhz (9-9-9-24) checked and working
corsair memory ddr3 1333mhz 8 gb (2 x 4) (9-9-9-24) checked and working
checked and working means i tried it in another case with another motherboard (gigabyte) and there it all works
the memory i use is compatible i think have tried it in all configuraties possible
only 1 slot with memory, 2 slots with memory , and all 4 slots with memory in all cases no luck                                                                      my hard drives are all western digitale and are working
hope this will tell you enough

  • MSI 990fxa-gd65 new build won't boot or post

    Hi, any help with this issue would be most appreciated
    I have just built a new system spec below:
    MSI 990fxa-gd65
    AMD FX8350
    2 x 4GB Hyper X fury DDR3 1866Mhz RAM
    MSI GTX960 Graphics card
    1TB WD HDD
    Corsair HX1000w (recovered from an older machine and in full working order)
    Unit powers ok, all fans are running, HD, Graphics card fans run and lights up DVD drive spins up OK too.
    Motherboard has two cpu phase lights lit. There is no post beeps or video out.
    I've tried it with a single stick of memory and a different lower spec video card but nothing seems to work. Some posts are suggesting the CPU may not be supported with the MoBo's current version of bios so questions are:
    How can I find out the bios version and if it is compatible as it doesn't reach the bios screen?
    If it needs updating how do you update it?

    Hi,
    Post S/N of the motherboard and we are able to tell you (roughly) which BIOS version it has.
    What if you try without graphics card?
    Did you try to clear CMOS? --> >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    If it needs updating, you will either need:
    -Supported CPU by current BIOS
    -SPI programmer (some IT services has one)

  • MSI 990FXA-GD65 + AMD FX-6300 + 16GB 1866MHz RAM Won't Boot

    Hello,
    Today I received parts for my new gaming system (sans water cooler, using the stock heatsink+fan until then), however I'm experiencing problems with the setup.  The specs are as follows:
    - MSI 990FXA-GD65
    - AMD FX-6300 CPU
    - GSKILL 16GB (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 RAM
    - Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD
    - 2x MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti
    - EVGA NEX750B1 PSU
    - BitFenix Comrade case
    Upon powering on (after assembly), the Phase Indicator only has the first two LEDs lit up (Phase 2 Power Mode, according to the manual).  No output is displayed on screen.  I've tried removing and re-inserting the CPU and removing one of the graphics cards, to no avail.
    I would appreciate any help/advise that could be offered, that I might get this system up and running!
    Kind Regards

    Try to run this system out of the case on non conductive area (e.g. plain cardboard) with 1 stick of RAM only, 1 GPU (try without any graphics cards too), single HDD/SSD, PSU of course, CPU+cooler and monitor+keyboard and mouse. When booting spam Delete and it should take you to the BIOS where you have to change timings of RAM suggested in the post about GSkill memory.
    If possible, borrow different brand of RAM to test your PC with.
    Make sure that if you're running single GPU, that video cable is connected to the card. If no GPU, then to the motherboard.

  • 990FXA-GD65 LAN problems

    Hi
    I recently attempted my first PC build and everything seems to be working about from my network connection. Every time i boot up i need to reinstall the network driver? The network will work otherwise but will give me speeds of around 200k or with the network driver reinstalled it goes up to my normal speed of above 30mb. Does anyone have suggestion on what could be happening?
    Thanks for any help

    I asked MSI for support for the GD65.
    No, you didn't.  You mentioned GD65 and GD80 in the problem description, just as you did here:

    3 - The retailer replaced the board by 990FXA-GD80.
    Those are two different mainboards with two different BIOS-types:
    990FXA-GD80 ---> E7640AMS.Bxx releases
    990FXA-GD65 ---> E7640AMS.Jxx releases

    We modified a test bios for fixing memory compatibility with G.Skill Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL, would you please download "E7640AMS.T05" from our ftp here and flash it for your motherboard to check again.
    What you got is a test BIOS and it is unclear which of the two board models it is for.

  • Msi 990fxa-gd65 vrm burned , refused rma :(

    Hello firstly a happy x-mas to everyone
    Let me state my story i bought msi 990fxa-gd65 and amd fx-8120 bulldozer cpu a few weeks back.
    i installed it and it ran was very happy for 2 days , then it happened... , seems the vrm's burned !
    let me explain you why i think was a faulty board.
    when it did ran it gave 1.37volts to cpu at idle , stock 3.1ghz turbo disabled, was all ready high for me , but i thought i will try newer bios later , as wanted to play some bf3.
    then i just ran 5min to see if all my memory is working , with blend test, and msi board gave 1.48 volts to cpu all stock settings nothing changed in bios except memory settings o.0
    1.48 was why to high looking at other reports etc.
    so when in bios to change last setting on my memory , and boom did not boot, try booting it few times, and boom there was smoke , vrms blown , without the pc even booting .
    so it seems board and cpu died, they rma the cpu but the board they refused to.
    the retail store told me they tried there best and only way i can get rma is with rma number from msi, i logged ticket on msi website no reply yet, hoping this post will get me a reply.
    CPU: fx8120 with noctua d14
    Motherboard: 990fxa-gd65
    RAM: ripjaws x 4gbx2
    Video: hd 6870 hawk
    HDD: ocz vertex 2 100gb and few 1tb's
    Operating system: windows 7 ultimate 64bit
    PSU: corsair hx750
    Case:haf 912
    ive seen allot of people online getting a rma for vrm's burned , just hope i can get one also :(

     You have to wait for reply from MSI as this forum is not directly connected with MSI HQ. We are simply user to user forum and have nothing to do with MSI HQ technical support.

  • MSI 990FXA-GD65 revision

    in what difference of revision 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 MSI 990FXA-GD65 ?

    I think it only depends on the BIOS version with which was the motherboard released.

  • 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? 

  • MSI 990FXA-GD80, POST error code 54

    I have just assembled a new system:
    M-Board: MSI 990FXA-GD80  (UEFI BIOS with factory version E7640 AMSB50, indicated by green label on BIOS chip)
    CPU: AMD Phneom II X6 1055T
    RAM: 2 x Crucial DDR3 1333MHz 8GB REG/ECC
    PSU: Fractal Design Newton R2 1000W PSU
    GPU: Asus GeForce EN8600GT Silent/HTDP 512MB
    I start the sytem and get 3 distinctive beeps from the speaker and error post code 54
    I have tried the following:
    1. Remove one RAM stick and start the system with just one RAM stick in slot DIMM1. Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    2. Removed the RAM sticks completely (in hope to get an error code indicating RAM is missing). Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    3. Switching the RAM sticks (DIMM1 <-> DIMM2). Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    4. Tried the processor on another board (ASUS) that I know works. The processor runs fine on the ASUS board.
    5. Activated the "Easy Button 3" Reset button. Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    6. Activated the CL_CMOS button at the Back Panel. Result Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    7. Clear Data position of Clear CMOS Jumper JBAT1 (with power disconnected),  and the back to Keep data position. Result: Same error codes, 3 beeps and post code 54
    All fans are working OK. Everything seems to be correctly connected after double checks.
    Is there anything else I can do, without returning the MOBO to shop?  I guess I can not update the BIOS if I do not get passed the post?
    Anything else that can be wrong?
    I am greatful for any initiated help.
    /Phil

    No, I have not tried to boot the MOBO outside of the case. However I have come a little bit further:
    I bought a less expensive memory stick of just 2GB; Kingston RMD3-1333/2G and put this in the DIMM1 slot.
    With this memory the PC booted and completed the POST. This allowed me to download and flash the latest BIOS; 7640vB8 from MSI.
    I then turned off the PC and re-installed the 8GB Drucial memory stick in DIMM1. I then got the original problem back.
    My conclusion is that the 8GB memory from Crucial is not compatible with the MSI 990FXA-GD80 board and the Phenom II X6 processor.
    If anyone have any idea how I could get my memories from Crucial to work on the MOBO I would be grateful. I have paid dearly for them.
    Just saw this:

  • MSI X58A-GD65 Voltage problem

    Merry Christmas all.!
                                   I've just purchased a MSI X58A-GD65 and I'm have a few problems overclocking with it. My setup is MSI X58A-GD65, Intel  i7 950. 6gb dominator 2000 GT.
    The problem I'm having is I can't access any voltage controls for the CPU and memory in the BIOS. They are all greyed out and say [AUTO].. No matter what I change I can't access them. What am I doing wrong guys?
    I have updated the BIOS to v.2.2 also..
    Thanks,
    Mcbonio
     

    Found the sticky as soon as I posted.! Felt like a right dunce.!
    Thanks.!!   

  • New MSi Z77A - GD65 DIMM problem

    I was wondering if anybody else has a similar experience with this.
    My build:
    i7 - 3770k 3.4 ghz
    MSi z77A - GD65
    MSi 760 Geforce GTX 4GB VRAM
    Rosewill Xtreme RX750 - D - B
    3 x 4 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM
    So everything wrongs except for the DIMM.  The two DIMMs closest to the CPU causes the system to not POST.  The debug stays at 55 which indicates that there's no memory.  When I installed two sticks into the slots furthest away from the CPU, it boots up just fine.
    I tried booting up with one stick in the DIMM furthest away from the CPU for each ram stick.  They all result in the system booting up just fine.  I tried using 4 x 2 gb RIPJAW ram sticks and again the system errors at 55.  The common denominator here is  that the two DIMM slots closest to the CPU are not working and causing everything to freak out.
    This is my theory on what's going on.  I have no idea how to fix this other than returning the board for a new one.  Hopefully I can get some suggestions or advice on what to do from here.  Maybe my mobo isn't broken, and it's just me doing something wrong.  I certainly hope so because I'm a pretty lazy dude.  Bought this board because my other mobo didn't boot up.  Now this board isn't reading my memory.  What gives???  Any help is appreciated.

    Enter bios and check if the intel ME firmware is properly installed. If not it will show N/A in the bios.
    My PC with the regular Z77A-GD65 worked flawless for a year, then I had problems. My gcard died and I had massive bootproblems. I tried a lot to figure out the reasons. All I could come up with was a faulty board or incompatible memory, like you think you have. I switched from 4x4Gb to 2x8 Gb in slots 2 + 4, but it didn't help.
    After I noticed Intel ME firmware wasn't installed, I tried that. I used the forum tool and most important: I used a bios version with Intel ME firmware included. Downloaded it from an attachment in these forums (so don't download bios versions from the official MSI website!). I flashed the bios and everything worked great again!
    Try that first, before you start inspecting CPU pins or change to different memory. I installed BIOS version 10.8B3 (beta), but watch out, I think your gaming edition of the Z77A-GD65 has a different bios. Check the forums which (beta) version is the most reliable.

     Am i doing something wrong, i uninstall and install. :(

    Quote
    the 7.043 is for a windows update, which doesn't work correctly.  It wouldn't be on windows update unless you werent meant to upgrade it.
    That's not entirely true. Windows has made mistakes in the past of supplying incorrect updates to components & devices. Safest way to get correct drivers is from the MSI Website for your board. MSI tests them when they are received from the vendors & then posts them on the Website.

  • MOVED: MSI X58A-GD65 Overclock Problem

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=141883.0

    I bought the MSI X58A-GD65 because I am a complete moron who wanted a hardware Easy Switch.
    It works really well,but I was pissed when I noticed that my 12GB's of RAM was no longer recorgnized. Only showed 8GB's..............
    So I set the Easy Switch to deafualt ( 133 ) and decided to overclock the CPU and tweak the RAM.
    I just read every forum where people had problems w/ various settings, and since I only want 3.2GHz w/ 12GB's of RAM @1.4v it was a walk in the park.
    Clearing the CMOS after a day of torturing myelf and committing Human errors,I easily was able to simply undervolt the RAM from the 1.65v default,and raise the 133 default setting up by a factor of 5 and rebooting.
    So this is my first OVerclocking experience and MSI seems like a worthy board..
    I use this to perform hardware and virtual musical synths and instruments 6 nights a week.
    Since I cam from a solid 32bit DAW that ran 100% for 3 yerars,I didn't upgrade, but actually did an entire new rebuild since I wasn't sure ofthe stability in x64.
    But this DAW has worked for days on end now flawlessley.

  • MSI X58A-GD65 Overclock Problem

    Hi there,
    I have been trying to overclock my mainboard and it doesnt change my Clock Frequency, actually it changes but when I try to reboot system, it comes back to 133mhz again! I'm sure that it is not failure of overclocking, what should I do about this problem?
    Every detail can change but clock frequency...!
    I updated mainboard by the way to the last firmware.
    NOTE: I manually change frequency on mainboard to 200mhz. now Setup says 200 mhz, while computer starts, startup says 200mhz, in Windows, it says 133 mhz! even CPUZ says 133mhz!... what is going on :S
