MSI A75MA-P35 Signal Lost, No DVI

Mainboard: MSI A75MA-P35 (unknown BIOS - due to no video).
AMD A4-3300 Llano Dual-Core 2.5GHz
WD Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB
Corsair XMS3 8GB
Windows 7 Pro x64
So I built this PC for my grandmother in 2012 and everything has worked flawlessly until this past week; she said the screen went black and a sound came on, so I logged into her PC through teamviewer and the screen would change resolutions every 3 seconds on my end, I was able to update everything (tedious I must say).
Still no video. So I brought her PC over here and tested it with my monitor; no joy on the DVI port, intermittent on the VGA so I did some cleanup in safe mode and then booted it up on VGA and it was working fine. Hooked it up for her; was working fine, then over night same problem appeared.
I do not have a second CPU to test with, but the CPU is actually working (because I can connect through TeamViewer). I'm honestly thinking the board has issues, it's still under warranty, but I wanted to come here and see if anyone else has had similar problems.
Though if I throw an FM2 board in there with a new FM2 APU, do I have to do a clean install on Windows (yes I know you should when you change hardware); I just want to make this as minimal hassle as possible.
Further notes:
No POST beeps
Everything seems to be working fine just no video.
DVI port is hard to connect (bent - though I don't know if it's a factory defect)

Since the screen is black when connected to DVI before Windows even starts booting, I would say what it isn't a Windows issue. I thus highly doupt what a re-install would fix it.

From the sound of it, it sounds like the motherboard (or APU) is unable to detect the Screen frequency & resolution, causing it to try different ones (thus the swapping).

Might be damaged, that could explain the issue. First see if you can find any visible signs of damage. Then check for broken pins being stuck or bent pins on the cable. Might need to get the board replaced or repaired, however check if any of the mods have anything to say about it first.

  • MSI A75MA-P35 DDR3-1866 support?

    Hi,
    I'm interested in an A75MA-P35. Unfortunately, the website and manual say it only supports DDR3-1600 whereas the "little brother" (A55MA-P35) and basicly all other mainboards with FM1 support DDR3-1866.
    Is this a mistake or does the A75MA-P35 really not support DDR3-1866?
    Thanks in advance!

    Quote from: Mark on 01-October-11, 06:20:53
    The memory controller is built into the CPU so that determines what speed RAM is supported.
    Now that you mention it, it's pretty obvious. Guess I'm getting too old for this stuff. 

  • A75MA-p35 Raid 1 Install Win7 drivers not found

    Hi all,
    Looking for a bit of help here, Problems installing Win7 Home Prem on a mirror raid. I followed the PDF manual uk.msi.com/product/mb/A75MA-P35.html#/?div=Manual  to the letter for how to create the raid, But the issue is cant seem to find any drivers to detect the HDDS, Or The DVD drive for that matter.
    I have:
    Set BIOS SATA mode to : Raid
    Used the BIOS CTRL+F Option, to create the raid. (  RAID Option ROM utility... )
    Booting from Win7 CD, Its asking for drivers for the drives The PDF above says use the driver from >
    : \\ChpSet\AMD\Packages\Drvers\SBDrv\SB8xx\RAID\ 
    (and then, please select a folder whch was classfied accordng to OS.) "
    This I have tried, But Its not listed due to the "Incompatible driver" Checkbox.
    I have tried forcing it to install this driver, and others from the CD/Net  But with no luck
    Anyone got any clues?
    Thanks

    Link worked.
    Thanks for the help.  Much appreciated.
    Tis all installing now.
    Confused to why the drivers from the motherboard CD didnt work tho?
    @Xmad.
    The USB stick was showing up fine pal, Just the drivers I was throwing at it, Didnt want to work. I did try installing the other drivers to see if they worked anyway with no luck.
    Sigh, whilst writing this. More errors on screen :(   Back shortly!

  • Eithernet problems with A75MA-P35

    I am having trouble with the network adapter on my A75MA-P35 FM1 AMD A75 (Hudson D3).  I purchased the motherboard on March 9, 2012. It has been working fine until today. I am running Windows 7 64bit. The network connection would be on for a minute when the computer boots but then windows shows that it becomes disconnected, but the lights on the port still remain solid on. Windows driver says that the drivers are working fine. I swapped network cables that is working fine with another computer but the problem still remains on this computer. Is there a utility to test the network port 
    Thanks

    Please see my post here:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=159490.0
    I am experiencing the same problem.  You can also see the problem described in the newegg review for this board.  Note that the A75MA-P35 and the A55M-P35 are the same boards except for the chipset, and they even use the same BIOS.
    For now, I suggest you use a PCI network card.
    I don't think MSI can fix this with a BIOS, I think they're going to re-release it with a new hardware revision.

  • A75MA-P35 C6 Mode Problem

    Hi,
    Just purchased a A75MA-P35 and amd 3500 Lano cpu and 8GB Corsair ram
    And have a problem with my A75MA-P35 -( Problem when enabling C6 Mode in bios.)
    Motherboard already had latest bios 1.2.
    MSI Install CD was full of errors when i tried to install drivers,(totally corrupted,,(screwed) and lots of scratches on the surface.
    I just downloaded from the internet drivers needed but still a pain.
    When i enable c6 mode in bios and save and exit, Win7 starts after a few seconds, the computer Reboot's  and Reboots, etc.
    As soon as i disable C6 Mode, computer start's fine.
    is there a Problem with the bios and C6 Mode
    Also CPU temperature in win7 reports 8c , i think is a bit on the cool side, is generally not a problem, but CPU fan never changes speed in windows.
    If i run a game or something then the CPU is in fact red hot, simply because the temps being reported in win7 are only 8c and the computer mobo thinks the fan speed
    doesn't need to go any faster.
    I have the fan speed set to increase when the CPU hits 40c , the lowest temp setting in bios but the CPU fan  never changes speed.
    Don't know if its just my motherboard or a general problem with this mother :bonk:board.
    Any thoughts or help would be appreciated..
    Many Tks..

    Ok svet tested beta bios E7697AMS.14A
    Sorry to tell you that Reboot Loop error when starting win7 is still there in Bios test E7697AMS.14A
    Tested with C6Mode enabled (Reboots when starting win7)
    Tested with C6Mode Disabled (Reboots when starting win7)
    Tested with svm Disabled ( Reboots when starting win7)
    Tested with cool and quiet Disabled (Reboots when starting win7)
    Windows 7x64 Reboots after about 3 seconds when you see the win7 flashing icon in center of screen
    and will continue to repeat Reboot etc.
    So it looks like bios E7697AMS.14A is worse than the Latest Official Bios 7697v12.
    We tried svet, i will pop back here every day to see if we can get a fix.
    Many tks svet..
    The Test bios E7697AMS.14A has been installed correctly in dos mode , bios reset with jumper on motherboard before testing E7697AMS.14A.

  • Problem with Bios 2.0 MSI A75MA-G55

    hello, I need help ....
    A few days ago I did the update the BIOS of my MSI-A75MA-G55, which is 2.0 and he has presented problems. It has a processor (AMD A-8 3870K) before trouble could overclock to 4.0GHz, but now it goes from 3.6ghz: (... By increasing to over 3.6ghz pc does not start and I have to clear the CMOS for reuse ... the second problem is with the GPU hd6550D now I can not run any game at medium quality such as "far Cry 3" or "Bioshock Infinite" and before if I could .... the previous BIOS version was the V13 or 1.3 which everything worked.
    The characteristics of my pc are:
    - MSI Motherboard-A75MA-G55 (MS-7696)
    - 3870K Processor A-8
    - 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1333 (667MHz)

    - Thermaltake CLP0575 Frio OCK
    Thank you in advance ...!
    Sorry do not know much English ...!
    Note: I did a BIOS flash, with the tool provided here, to downgrade the BIOS version and I could not because at the end and restart the PC had always the same version.

  • Nokia 701 - GPS Signal Lost (Never get it to work...

    I'm having trouble using the GPS on my 701. After a minute it will say  "GPS signal lost" all the time. And moreover the current position it is indicating is wrong.(I'm using it outside) I've tried positioning method Wi-Fi/Network and Network Based. What could be the problem? Please help.

    Hi,
    When you use maps, finding your position should usually take about 40 seconds.  If it takes longer than that, or it quickly looses location, your GPS receiver might be faulty, though it’s most likely caused by poor reception.
    Try improving your reception by going outside and making sure you’re not surrounded by high buildings and are not moving while your phone finds its location. This way your phone can make a quicker connection with the satellite. Also make sure your hand isn’t covering the phone and don’t lock your screen while waiting for GPS, as this can cut off your reception.
    If this doesn’t make a difference it’s best to visit a local care centre where can be checked if your GPS receiver is faulty. Your device can be repaired, if necessary. You can find a care centre by going to your local Nokia web page and clicking on Support.

  • MSI A75MA-G55 won't boot sometimes

    Memtest has run a whole night without errors.
    Al settings on manual won't help.
    Having only one RAM module on the board didn't help.
    It looks like the mobo and the RAM aren't broken.
    Is it not compatible or what?
    I can't update the BIOS because it hangs on making a backup.

  • ATI X800XT is adc port same dvi signal as the dvi port

    For starters, what does "adc" stand for? Does it mean the adc is an analog port needing conversion to digital for display to an apple cinema display? someone at apple just said it stands for apple display connection. Yes, I know I still need an adapter, but I'm wondering if this port is inferior the the dvi port on the card. I don't know if the adaptor is just changing the physical hardware connections, or something else.
    I want to go from the adc port thru an adc/dvi adaptor to the matrox mxo box, out of the mxo to apple hd 23" display. I need to reserve the other graphics port (dvi) to go thru a dvi/vga adaptor to my vga monitor.
    Is the adc port on the card the same as the dvi port in terms of the type and quality of signal? What is the adc port anyway?

    The video quality should not be compromised by using any of these adapters. The ADC outputs the same exact digital signal as the DVI outputs. The ADC-to-DVI adapter basically discards the USB and power features and passes the digital AND analog signals through.
    As mentioned above, both ADC and DVI also carry analog video signals. Using a DVI-to-VGA adapter, an ADC-to-VGA adapter, or a combination of both will allow you to use an analog VGA monitor from either port on your video card, again with no degradation of the signal.
    If you are missing any or all colors or the signal is degraded in some way, you must have a bad connection, bad adapter, or bad cable. Try reconnecting or replacing each part one at at time to determine the culprit.
    As for the problem of non-matching DVI connectors, check the link below to determine which ones you have and which ones you need. There are pictures of each connector on this page:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DigitalVisualInterface
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleDisplayConnector
    You should be able to find an adapter (or gender changer) that matches up to your cable. A web search should give you plenty of sources and options. You may try a place like Cyberguys.com: http://www.cyberguys.com/ (Search for "DVI gender" to see all available adapters.)
    With quality cables and adapters, you should be able to achieve what you are trying to do with no signal degradation to each of your monitors. Let me know how it goes.

  • A75MA-P35 and ganged mode

    Hi to all,
    I've got this problem: I'm using a A75MA-P35 motherboard that seems to work fine, but in the first post message, about DDR mode, I read "GANGED MODE, 64 BIT".
    Well, I use 2 sticks of Kingston DDR3 memory (freq. 1333 mhz). In similar boards I always see "ganged, 128 bit". can you please explain me the reason of those 64 bits (usually 64 for unganged mode, 64 + 64 for ganged)?
    I tried two versions of bios (1.10 and 1.20)... same values
    thanx for support
    Paolo

    Great!!! I supposed it was not a problem but a characteristic of my system...but did not find anything about this issue. You were able to do this... great.
    by the way I repair and assembly pcs as a Job, and when I learn something new I'm happy
    thanx again for your time and availability
    peace,
    Paolo
    PS: I use this system as a "portable" little home audio recording station... reason, cubase ecc with an M-AUDIO Fast track USB.
    This is the first time I use AMD for audio...no latency... good as a much more expensive INTEL

  • BIOS problem? MSI Neo P35 F

    Hi,
    I need help regarding some problem.
    My PC has the following specs:
    Motherboard: MSI Neo P35 F
    I replaced the old CPU (Intel Core 2 duo 2.13 Ghz, E6420) by a new one (Intel Quad Core Q9650).
    From then, the pc didn't recognize the new CPU
    so I updated the old BIOS with the latest version (2.1) according to recognize the new CPU.
    Now the pc boots, recognizes the CPU, but BIOS does not have the AHCI options possible, and I always get a "no hard disk detected" kind of error.
    I only have IDE available, not even RAID.
    So I need the AHCI too, to get a good connection to my hard drive I read somewhere.
    (so I need a modded bios for that I suppose, can I find that anywhere?)
    Other problems to mention:
    Each time I change something in BIOS, like time/date or boot sequence, and I save, he does not boot further...
    Each time I want to reboot it, I have to remove battery in order to get him rebooted again. (it's new battery)
    With some workaround (in GRUB, running a linux os), I can get the OS started, so the hard disk and OS still work fine. But when shutting down the computer, he doesn't boot the correct way, and have to remove battery again. So maybe the BIOS is corrupted, or the shutting down method is wrong?
    What could be the problem? Could I solve it by a modded bios?
