first suspect is the BIOS on the board! for that CPU it needs at least Version B1 (11.1) for a Richland CPU to be supported...
if you do not know what BIOS version your board has tell us the Serial Number of the board so we can tell you if thats the issue or not? (that is on the UPC label on the box it came in or on a sticker on the rear of the motherboard!)

MSI A55M - E33 no OFFSET!?

Hello!
I just bought an MSI A55-E33 motherboard, motherboard old was nowhere to be offset in the tall'm using! In a A4 6300 processor in it. Until now it was flawless at 1.1 V, but just give him a 1.3 V, so you better warm up and eat more.
There may be a bios for this board that supports the OFFSET??

This is very hard to understand what is most likely caused due to the usage of an online translator. I suppose you are asking if there is an overvoltage offset option for this board. Answer is no. Where no offset is included out of the box it is impossible to add with a simple update.

AMD x4 860K and MSI A55M-E33

Hey guys
So I'm building a cheap gaming PC for my daughter for Christmas I ordered a A55M-E33 and a AMD x4 860k after using pcpartpicker (along with 8gb of ram and a 750 TI).
Everything arrived today but when I power it up I'm only getting fans, no beeps no display etc
I'm guessing I've got the wrong BIOS revision but I'm a bit unwilling to buy another processor just so I can reflash the BIOS. Does anyone have experience of this chip working in this board or any suggestions how I can reflash the board.
Thanks
Si

It is also useful to add full system specs as there is more than just vga, cpu and board: >>Posting Guide<<

BRAND NEW MSI x99s Gaming 7 Won't Boot, Debug Code 00

Just completed my build and my pc won't boot. Everything plugged directly into the psu is working but fans plugged into mother board don't spin and getting debug code 00 nothing displayed on screen.

Hmm ok.
What you could do is: try each stick on its own, in every single DIMM slot. Make note which slots/sticks work or dont work. Then add to 1 (known to work) RAM stick and try moving this single one around all DIMMs again. Do the same until you get a failure or if works fine.
Which slots did you use by the way?

I then added the 4th one back in and now it boots. Any ideas why just switching those 2 positions would change anything??
Maybe for the first time it didnt go all the way down?

MSI A55M-E33 problems with USB Hub

When I boot with my USB Hub plugged in the screen will stay black and I get a 9C, 99, 92 or A2 error. Often after a few seconds this will disappear but sometimes it will just hang on 9C forever. Without the USB Hub plugged in it will boot straight into windows with no errors, but the internal buzzer will give one long beep and two short beeps.
I used MSI live update 6 to upgrade my BIOS from W10 to W50. Inside the BIOS screen it is given as E7721AMS v32.5.
The boot mode is Legacy + UEFI, and the boot order is:
Boot 1: SSD (win 8.1 64 bit on here)
2: DVD
3: UEFI Hard Disk
4: UEFI USB CD
5: UEFI USB key
etc
My 2nd hard drive isn't listed as an option, though in another section of the BIOS (can't recall which) it is listed as being in a SATA port.
USB devices are a wifi dongle, wireless keyboard & mouse receiver, and a D-Link DUB-H7 7 port usb hub (with 2 external hard drives attached).
Any ideas what I can do? Would a different usb hub solve the problem?

So I phoned a local computer repair shop, and he said it sounded like a faulty USB hub. He advised me to buy a PCI-E usb card and plug the devices directly into that. I was confident he wasn't trying to just sell me anything, as he didn't have these cards in stock and suggested buying one online.
So I bought one of those cards and plugged the external HDD's directly into that. It has solved the problem with hanging on 9C (the beeping problem seems to have just disappeared by itself). Now I just momentarily get a 99 and A2 error then it boots directly into windows 8. Unfortunately the external drives won't appear for about 30 seconds, and also I can't use my wireless keyboard or mouse for the same amount of time.
I'm fairly sure its not the fault of the drives. Today I've plugged them into two windows 7 laptops and booted those and the drives show up immediately. Same with the USB hub.
Does it sound like a faulty motherboard? Or something not set correctly in the BIOS?

MSI P965 Platinum, system won't boot only when ICH8R is in RAID

So I couldn't get my system to boot properly when I have the ICH8R in RAID 1 mode.
I have the boot drive on a single, non-raid Wester Digital 250gb Cavair HD on the ICH8R.
Installed XP Pro SP2 with the ICH8R in IDE mode. I installed in IDE mode beceause I was unable to install XP on my single drive when ICH8R was in RAID mode. I installed XP in IDE mode, did all driver updates, then put the ICH8R into RAID 1 mode for my other data drives and the system will post, start to boot and get to the Windows XP boot screen then the system just restarts before the boot completes. It does it in normal boot mode and safe mode as well.
With the ICH8R in IDE mode everything boots/runs fine.
The problem is, I need the 6 SATA RAID controllers on the ICH8R as I have 3 RAID1 arrays.
I've done all the updates to windows, motherboard bios, Highpoint RocketRaid bios update, tried every mode on the ICH8R, unplugged the Highpoint Rocket Raid, left it plugged in with no drives plugged in, disabled the Jmicron controller, everything I can think of.
Any help would be appreciated.
I did not do the windows floppy driver install for the ICH8R when I installed XP, but I have not had to do that in the past with the ICH7 on my old motherboard so I assumed I wouldn't here as I've been told it's just if you are installing windows on a RAID.
System:
MSI P965 Platinum
Intel Core 2 Duo 6400 CPU
(4) 1gb OCZ Gamer Extreme DDR2 PC6400 RAM
Windows XP SP2
High Point Rocket RAID 2300 PCI Express x1 RAID card
Asus nVIDIA GS7300 PCI Express Video card
Drives on ICH8R Controller:
Boot Drive: WD Cavair 250gb SATA2
DVD: Some sony 16x DVD - SATA
RAID1: (2) Seagate Barracuda 320gb SATA2 HD's (setup on previous motherboard on Intel ICH7 Controller)
(2) Seagate Barracuda 500gb SATA2 HD's
High Point Rocket RAID 2300 Controller:
(2) Seagate Barracuda 500gb SATA2 HD's

The problem that you are having has nothing to do with your mainboard.
Once you decide to install Windows XP SP2 when the ICH8R controller is in IDE mode, Windows will give you a bluescreen once you switch to RAID mode after the installation is done because it is to stupid to change to the proper driver. Consider this as normal behaviour.
You have basically three possibilities:
1. Reinstall XP with integrated SP2 and integrate the Intel ICH8R RAID drivers using a floppy disk
The latest drivers can be found here.
As I understand, you have already tried that. I if you don't feel like trying this again, have a look at this:
2. Slipstream Intel ICH8R SATA RAID drivers using NLITE or XP ISO BUILDER and try to install again with a self-made install CD that already includes the proper drivers (no floppy needed)
Use google to find one of the tools I mentioned. The procedure is free, perfectly legal and easy to do. Guides for this can be found all over the internet
3. Switching to RAID mode without having to re-install Windows XP
If you are still using your existing installation, that was done when the controller was in IDE mode, the follwing trick may work for you.
I posted a little guide on how to switch from IDE to AHCI mode without having to re-install XP. Have a look at the guide. The procedure is essentially the same for RAID. The only difference is the content of the REG-File that you have to make.
Guide: HOW TO switch from IDE to AHCI mode without having to reinstall Win XP (GUIDE)
Use the following content for the REG file instead of the one I put up in the above thread:

MSI GT70 ONC-008US - Won't boot properly

For whatever reason, my laptop refuses to boot properly now. For awhile it just had a problem booting from sleep (no image on screen, seemingly working otherwise), so I avoided doing that. It also did this when trying to power on the laptop, but this problem was fixed ignored by simply holding the button and trying again.
It now it wont boot, despite the number of times I might try to make it. Nothing appears on the screen at all, sometimes my keyboard back-lights come on but now not even that happens. I don't know what to do. The hard drive (I think it's the hard drive?) makes a sort of clanking sounds a couple times and then goes quiet, occasionally making small beaps. USB devices power up per usual.
If you know what might be happening I'd be eternally grateful. My only guess is that the hard drive is failing, but wouldn't the screen still show something if it was simply the hard drive failing?
##UPDATE:## After trying a million times it finally booted. I still want to figure out what is going on. Please help

I've contacted at least three computer repair shops in my local area and all seem to think it's the motherboard. FML
It sucks. But it should still be under warranty from MSI. I would contact them to be perfectly honest.

MSI Neo-fsr motherboard won't post help!!!!!

Okay so I got the parts yesterday and I put it together and when I turn it on it won't post. Not only that but everything seem to be powered up except for the video card the fan isn't spinning. It was a 9700 pro. Then I took my brothers Geforce MX and tried it and it still won't post. I mounted the motherboard correctly it is definitely not grounded to anything. I connected the D-bracket and all four red light show up. But my cpu is brand new out of the retail box. I don't think its the cpu. So any body got any ideas?
Here are my spec:
Athlon 64 3000+
1 gig OCZ el memory
MSI neo fsr
9700 pro

I had a similiar problem:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=44971&sid=&hilightuser=40369
The mainboard got replaced and now it works.
It's not certain however that it's the mainboard in your case.

MSI MegaPC 651 - System Won't Boot (Long Beep)

When I attempt to power on the PC I recieve a continuous beep signal.
The Beep is approx. 8 seconds long, followed by 5 seconds of silence. The signal keeps repeating itself until I turn off the power.
Obviously, the system is not passing POST so I can't get any video or access the bios.
The cpu is a P4 2.4ghz 533fsb.
The memory is a single 512mb DDR 333 chip.
I've plugged the CPU into a second motherboard and it appears to work fine. I've tested the ram in the second mother board and it appears to work fine.
I tried a stick of DDR400 ram from a known-working system and that did not seem to correct the issue.
One thing I noticed in another similar thread is someone mentioned that i should make sure my CPU fan is plugged in.
~ My Fan is plugged in (came with MSI Barebone), but it doesn't spin. I've tried plugging in the fan that came with my CPU and that one doesn't spin either. My Intel Board that i use for my desktop allows me to boot without a system fan plugged in, I've never heard of a mobo that doesn't. The system isn't even on long enough for the CPU to be over heating.
Please Advise.

It is a memory issue. There is something weird about this motherboard...
I got the system working, and i couldn't figure out what i had done differently. I then installed windows.
I let it run for a few days until i realized that the RAM that was in there was the DDR 400 ram from my other desktop, instead of the DDR 333 that I had intended to use.
I took the DDR400 out, and put the DDR333 in and again.... BEEEEEEP. (8 seconds)
I put the DDR400 back in and still... BEEEEEEP. (8 seconds)
I know neither stick of RAM is bad because they have both been used successfully in my other desktop system upon the first try. Its like the MSI has some sort of connection problem in the memory bank, and I lucked out on one try and got all the connections to line up.
If anyone has any suggestions, please advise, because I'm back to square one again.

MSI K8T Master2-FAR won't boot!!

Ok, I have the Athlon 64 FX-51 with the MSI K8T Master2-FAR. I have one gigabyte of REGISTERED Memory (Corsair), 500W Power Supply, 120GB Seagate SATA HDD, DVD, DVD-RW, FDD, & 250MB Zip Drive. Everything is (as far as I know) installed properly, but when I try to power it up, it doesn't start up. Nothing will come on the screen, but the fans spin properly, and the motherboard speaker beeps at me (telling me something is wrong). ANY advice will be graciously accepted.

Wow, that sounds like a killer system. I have not had a lot of experience with this motherboard, so my ideas here are going to be pretty general. The speaker beep is a POST message: the number and length of beeps should correspond to the failed check when starting your computer. You'll want to check in the mobo manual for a chart of post beeps and the associated failures.
Otherwise, you can check your video card to see if it is working. Make sure it is firmly seated in the AGP slot, and make sure you have supplied the additional power connector (needed for most high end graphics cards). Also, try removing one DIMM (stick of memory) and see if it boots that way and try moving around the remaining DIMM if it still wont boot.
Similar problems often occur when your system does not recognize or support the RAM at SPD settings (or whatever you set them to last). Clear the CMOS and restart if you have changed the settings yourself (this will put them back to the defaults). If you have not changed the memory timings, you could try booting up with other memory modules, and then swapping them out after you have gotten the system to boot (this might be difficult since you need to find registered modules).
More information would be helpful... post the current over your PSU drive rails. Just saying that it is 500W is not enough.
As long as your CPU fans are moving, you shouldn't be damaging anything by trying different things. However, when you stop and restart your system, always wait for a little while for the power in your PSU to dissipate (you should hear a "PZZT" sound). Otherwise, if you keep starting and restarting your computer, you may blow something up.
Good luck!

H61M-E33/W8 won't boot

I just installed a brand new H61M-E33/W8 motherboard, Intel i3 processor, new 600W power supply, and 8 GB of memory. Put everything together just fine and it booted to the system bios with no problems. Shut down and installed my hard drive then re-booted. Again, no problems and the it appeared to be booting just fine. Then the system suddenly shut off and now will not boot at all. When I hit the power button the fan turns for a few seconds and stops. Any ideas?

First try a full cmos clear: >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
IF no help remove non essential hardware and try to boot with a single stick of ram. Test each stick and each DIMM like this.

MSI X99S Gaming 7 Won't Boot

Hi -
I just recently purchased an X99S motherboard. I put it all together, and all was fine for about 24 hours. I updated the BIOS and then started running a defrag and left the machine on while I went to work. When I got home, the machine was off. It's not responding to the power button the board or on my case. If I turn the power off on my PSU and turn it back on and hit the power switch, I get a split second flash of lights and then nothing. I initially thought that it was my power supply so I bought a new one. I got that installed and same thing. One thing to note is that the MSI LED up by the 24 pin connector is on red. I've already tried the secondary BIOS and I have removed all of the memory except the DIMM in Slot 7. I haven't yet tried to remove the board from the case yet and tried it on a non conductive surface. I just wanted to get some thoughts on that debug LED that is currently on. I believe the motherboard has just died, but wanted to run it by someone first.
Here are my specs:
Board: MSI X99S Gaming 7
Bios: Version 14.7
VGA: MSI GTX980 Gaming
PSU: EVGA 1000 Watt G2
CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5GHz
MEM: Corsair Vengeance 2666 4x4gb CMK16GX4M4A2666C16
HDD: PNY 256GB SSD
COOLER: Corsair CWCH60 Water Cooler
OC: None
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

Take it out of the case, place on non conductive surface (wooden table, motherboard box) and run it then. Also try with single RAM stick in every RAM slot.
Try clearing CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also make sure all power connectors are properly fitted in.
What way did you update the BIOS? Also was it successful?

NF4U motherboard won't boot with Audigy 2 ZS or SB Live! Value instal

Hello all,
I've got a bit of a weird problem. I've recently upgraded from an Abit IC7MAX3 motherboard with a 3.0GHz P4 to an Abit Fatalty AN8 motherboard with A64 3000+. Great system, but neither of my Creative sound cards will work with it.
When they're installed, the system refuses to boot, or it boots but Windows can't find the cards. It sits with an error code of 25, which means "enumerating PCI devices". I've tested other PCI devices in the board, and it's fine with them, it's just my two Creative cards that cause trouble.
I'd actually use the onboard sound, but I need the coaxial digital out that Creative provide on their cards to power my speakers - I'd rather not go spend another AUD$300 for equi'velent speakers that use SPDIF as their input.
Has anyone come across a similar problem?
Cheers!
Manaz

Hi!
Thank you for your suggestions!
"Hmm.. maybe it's a fault of Abit"
Possibly - I've posted on the Abit Fatalty forums, nVidia's nForce motherboards forum and on the Overclockers Australia AMD forum as well. I'm looking at all options...
"Have you try updating the BIOS and changing different PCI slots?"
Yep - I tried with the shipping BIOS, and also the latest available. I've also tried in both the PCI slots available to me (my video card blocks one of the PCI slots, so I only have access to 2 of the 3).
"Maybe you can remove all other cards in the system and just leave the sound card and video card in and see if it hel
ps.
"That's all my system has in it.
"Also remember to disable your onboard audio from the BIOS as it tend to conflict with other sound card."
The onboard sound is actually on a daughterboard. I've tried with it installed and with it removed. There's nowhere in the BIOS to turn it off - I assume just removing the daughterboard is the only way to disable it.
Cheers!Manaz
