I have tried to run it with 1 ram stick, 1 sata. Second motherboard i have bought in 1 month. (not sure whats wrong with the other one). Thanks for anything that can help me!

Remove the graphics card, leave 1 RAM stick inside and test outside of the case. Clearing CMOS might be worth a try together with this too. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also you seem to mix RAM, unless you stated these to say you've tested both kits?
If still no go, take the CPU out and have a look if you can find any bent pins on the CPU socket.

MSI Big Bang XPower Power won't post (d4 debug) (again!)

Specifications:
MSI Big Bang XPower Mainboard
Rosewill 1100W Bronze Edition
GeForce 465 Fermi
Corsair Dominator DDR3 1886 6 x 2GB RAM
Intel i7-930 processr
Issue: System powers up for about 30 seconds, the debug indicator gets to d4 (indicating problem initializing the memory per the handbook) and doesn't post. System will remain running however (different from another guy on the forum having a nearly identical problem.)
I've tried rearranging the RAM. If I put a stick in the first blue slot the debug reads E8. I've tried using various single sticks in the first black slot closest to the CPU (all produce D4). I've checked the CPU socket pins to make sure they aren't bent, and I've tried reseating the CPU. I've checked that both 8-pin 12Vs are connected and secure as well as the 24-pin connection. I've tried using three sticks of ram at once in the black slots with no success either. In another thread user HU16E verified on Corsair's webpage that this RAM should be working with this board.
Finally, in another thread a user with an identical processor, mobo, and RAM (only difference on the ram being he has 1600 and mine is 18XX, I think 1886) demonstrates the same exact problem. Our video cards and PSUs differ.
Looking for the next step in determining a likely culprit. It seems odd to me that this set of corsair ram might be incompatible, but that's my current hypothesis because it seems even stranger to me that another user would be having the same problem. The chance of both of us getting faulty motherboards, faulty processors, or a full set of faulty ram seems remote.
Edit: Also did a benchtop test with just the PSU/CPU/CPU Fan/1 Stick of ram in the first black slot, D4 error.

but if you think its worthwhile to check using the stock heatsink I'm more then willing to give it a shot.
Yes, please give that a try. Use just one stick in the primary black DIMM 1 slot.
Quote
With the one sided clasp for the ram I was very liberal about pushing it down into the slot and applying a fair bit of force to make sure it sat correctly.
I found it to be rather tricky too.

If its a BIOS problem can I fix this without having a 'working' stick of RAM?
Unfortunately, no. If your board is a version 1.1, it should have a current enough bios to at least allow it to fire up with your RAM. Do any of your friends have a DDR3 rig to test your RAM in to make sure all the sticks are good?
Quote
The odds of getting two bad boards (and the other user getting a bad board and having the same problem too) seems really remote to me, but I haven't built enough PCs to say that with any confidance. What do you think?
If they are from the same manufacturing batch....... hmmm! Possible.
Added: One of the forum users, Aaron, had 4 bad boards in a row. X58 Pro-E I believe they were. Same batch. MSI needs to know right away if a certain batch is having these problems. Have you got a ticket in with them yet explaining your difficulties?

MSI BIG BANG Xpower II boot issue - LED code 9A

Hello all,
I am facing to issue after BIOS update from 2.6 to 2.7. After update was machine working properly. But after one crash of OS cant boot at all. Crash was probably caused by overloading GPUs but there were no issue with cards and this board during 3 weeks of 100% GPU and CPU load. No video (connected only one GPU card), no Numlock key/led is working (this is good test if PC is reacting even no picture).
Board: MSI BIG BANG XPOWER II
Bios: Version 2.7
VGA: 4x AMD SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290x
PSU: Silverstone 1500W (gold)
CPU: Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz (3.9GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 2011

HDD: WD Blue 256gb 5400
COOLER: NOCTUA NH-D14
OC: 3.9GHz
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit Professional
Tried
- switch BIOS from A to B also C (with small switch).
- cleared Cmos with onboard button.
- removed Battery for a while
System start booting and stuck always on 9a LED code.
From manual it looks like it is USB, SATA initialisation phase.
I think CPU or Mem should be fine.
Anyone who met this issue or any sollution?
I am thinking to replace this board under warranty.
Thanks for any info..

Hi Froggy,
Thanks for reply.
But I have tried disconnected all USB devices and got same LED code. If this happend because of some USB configuration in BIOS why reset of CMOS did not help?
It very well could be setting(s) in the BIOS, but I am not qualified to be of much assistance when Win 8/8.1 is involved.

I read some comments and i see this MOBO don't support my Processor on the original version of the BIOS crap I have I7 4820K ;/
I bought new chip with the newest Version of the BIOS i swap it with the CHIP Original installed I Clear the CMOS and press multi BIOS button then i plug in my PSU
NOTHING monitor is still on stand by i check with 3 Video cards all are working with my sec PC no issues
i don't know what to do that's sec MOBO first one was faulty and after switching it on one of the chips just spark MSI swap it for new one and that one is not working to :(
any ideas someone know what i do wrong ?
the Chip i buy with the BIOS can be faulty to but how i can check it i guess I cant ;/
then how i can flash BIOS when i even cant get the MOBO boot ? and i will not buy older CPU to start the MOBO that will be just insane and i don't have any one who can barrow me one for 5 min ;/

HELLO
Again ME I think its a warning for a lot of you
Finely MSI contacted me and i get my RAM nr I spend 40£ to send the motherboard to MSI in Netherland yee i was happy someone will deal with the problem I have and they will update my BIOS to make sure my CPU will be compatible with the Mobo.
Today I receive my MOBO back I was really happy i connect all and i get in SHock nothing the same issue no Video output Monitor stays black just like was before the debug panel is off nothing running
i check and the serial nr of the MOBO is different what mean its total new Mobo and probably coz i cant get it running its same old BIOS i spend 40£ probably to swap new Motherboard for New Motherboard but not to fix the issue and the issue was simple i need version of bios 2.3 or higher to make it work with my CPU I7-4820K
now I don't know what to do the shop where I buy the Mobo dont want to help me and when i ask for my money back they seid its after the 30 days period and i cant get refund i just wasted 284£ all in for nothing a big black garbage what taking only space in my room now with MSI LOGO ON IT
In MSI eyes People don't buy new rigs they just upgrade stuff
it should be like that
I was should have old PC with I7-3930K and then i decide to buy new processor that how MSI Think (Why to buy 3820k or 3930k when u can get 4820 or 4930k for allmost the same price ? )
but my mistake was i buy new processor and new Motherboard and cant get it run because in that NEW MOBO is 1.2 Ver of BIOS and without having old CPU u cant update :(
Best Regards to everyone

MSI Big Bang Xpower D4 Debug (No POST, No Beep)

Specs:

-MSI GTX460
-Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 3 x 2GB RAM (CMP6GX3M3A1600C8)

Issue:
While power on, the debug indicator gets to d4 (indicating problem initializing the memory per the handbook) it doesn't POST and no beep. I have tried with just one RAM at the DIMM1 position, but whatever I tried it consistently gives me d4.
Any help is much appreciated

Quote
I called intel, and they claim that the RAM is not compatible with this processor. They said this processor (i7 970) is only compatible with memory of 1.5v and at speed 1066. Unfortunately, the corsair module I tried is working at 1.65v, therefore it is not guaranteed to work. Will try with 1.5v mem kits, and follow up afterward.
True, Intel i7 970 native speed is in fact 1066, however, the RAM you have can easily be set to say 1333 9 9 9 24 tRFC 88, maybe even 59, CR 1 @ 1.5V's & I would almost guarantee it is going to work. One tidbit they didn't tell you, is the i7 970 & 980X 32nm CPU can be run with up to 1.8V's DRAM Voltage. That's per the current Intel datasheet (absolute maximum chart). Look it up for yourself. I don't want to argue with Intel, or the stock/default of 1066 @ 1.5V's as 100% correct to the letter of the law, but I have some of that RAM & two of these boards, & I know they will perform above 1066. Unless of course, either the board, CPU, or RAM just won't cooperate. With three things in the mix, any one of them can make or break what can be done. Your RAM can be, unless something is grossly wrong with it, be made to run stock/default of 1066 speed @ 1.5V's.
This is a BBX with Corsair RAM & an i7 970. Wonder what Intel would say about this?
DRAM Voltage in BIOS set 1.66 (WARNING i7 970/980X only), CPUID H/W Monitor shows 1.65V's. Always consult the latest & most current component datasheets! Know the specs!

MSI Big Bang-XPower powers off then powers on to boot to OS

Not sure if this issue has been addressed on the forum yet. I purchased a new MSI Big Bang-XPower motherboard this past week ,with Intel Core i7-990X as the cpu. I'm using SILVERSTONE SST-ST1200-G Evolution 1200W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS GOLD as the power supply and Kingston HyperX 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for memory. This is in a Lian Li X-1000 chassis.
I built the system completely and loaded the OS (win7). I noticed during the updates, when the system would need to reboot. The system powers down, then it would power back up, then power would cut off and the system would restart and load right to the OS. I finished the updates and loaded other needed software. This problem continued during the whole time, when ever I needed to reboot. I was even able to load my games and played one. No over clocking needed.
I started my trouble shooting process,
flashed the bios from v1.4 to v1.6 - no changed
changed the bios settings to boot something(can't remember) default - no change
So I started eliminating anything connected to the motherboard. - no change
I'm down to the motherboard, cpu, ps and one 4gb stick of memory - no change
It did not matter if the system was cold or hot, still the same problem. The mb LED would go to A1 every time and almost start running again before it shut down on it's own. Powers back up and boots to the OS.
I'm at a stand still, on what's causing this problem. I'm sure it's not the memory, because I have pulled this memory from a working system and no problems. Plus, if is compatible with this MSI board. So either it's a bad mb, cpu or ps. All three of these parts are brand new and I still can return them for exchange.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions ?

In BIOS Power Management, or Green Power, I forget which, disable EuP 2013, that should cure it. If it doesn't cure it, it has been a known odd behavior trait of Intel systems for years. Also, disable Spread Spectrum in the Cell Menu.
Anytime a setting has been changed, driver update reboots etc., it is not uncommon to also experience the double boot behavior. This is normal as the settings are being applied & restarting itself again.
I've seen this behavior before in the factory with Intel systems. The dual boot behavior usually was a component failure. Which I suspected and turned out to be my problem with this MSI MB. I tried disabling EuP 2013 and spread spectrum, which did not fix the problem for me. Contacting MSI tech support on the phone, was irritating and sub-par but I was finally able to RMA the MB through the online request . Since receiving the new MB and installation. No problems with the board and actually have clocked the chit outta of the board. Thanks for your reply and help.

MSI big bang xpower ii memory problems

Hello! I wasn't sure where to post this question, so If it is in a wrong subforum please forgive and transfer it to the correct one.
Story is, I have msi big bang xpower ii motherboard, runnig 3930k, c1 cpu. I have two memory sets, both tested extensively, 1) gskill ripjaws 2133 32gb 4x8 (one matched set), 9/11/10/28 1.65v and 2) gskill ripjaws 1600 16gb 4x4gb 9/9/9/24 1.5v, also one matched set.
I updated bios to 1.2 (i think that's the latest official one).
Problem is, in 2133 mode, i can only post with 1 stick. With set 1) in 1600 mode I can post with 2 sticks (any slots as shown in manual). With set 2) in 1600 mode, I an post with 3 sticks (also any slots as shown in manual). That's it. Any other configuration (for example quad channel or 8 sticks) will not post, I get error 67.
I tried manual mode as well as XMP. It seems in XMP mode i don't even get to error 67, it just keeps rebooting and rebooting, rebooting on error code 19.
Does anyone run this 2133 set at 4x4gb ? If so could you please possibly give me your OC settings? I tweaked vccsa, pll and dram voltage, but no luck.
Thanks in advance.

It won't boot in quad channel even in 1333. Manual says, if you number slots A B C D | E F G H, quad channel is A _ C _ | _ F _ H . It will not post in this configuration. Neither of my two sets (even 2133 running in 1600 or 1333). However, A B C D | _ _ _ _ will post in 1600! I tried this out of curiosity and this is technically an invalid configuration? It's not even mentioned in the manual. It also seems to me the system will never post if I have something in slot G.
I also must add both of my kits are tested, additionally my asus rive can run quad set in 2133 just fine.
I set 1.5v kit at 1.5, then tried 1.520. For 1.65v kit, i tried 1.5, 1.520 and 1.65 and next one I don't remember i think 1.68. I tried vccsa (system agent) 1.15 - 1.30, also, why is PLL so high on this board? I am seeing ~ 1.77 (I did set it at 1.8 later).
Also what are the modes 1-7? Where can I find more information about those?
Should I RMA this board? I can probably get it replaced within a day or two.
I also must note, I have the worst luck ever with lga 2011 boards. It took me 3 tries to get normal rive, and now this. Sigh.

Msi Big Bang Xpower II can only run with 3 memory modules?

Hello there! I've just got my new system up and running. But it cant boot with 4 memory modules when there is a module in slot 7? I have a 4x8gb kit from corsair (CMP32GX3M4X1600C10), and a Msi Big Bang Xpower II..
When i start it, it just shows me the debug code "67" which is "Late Cpu Initialization" according to the "User Guide".. It stays there, for about 15 seconds, then it shuts down, and does the same, over and over..
Atm, i'm running with 3 modules, and there's no problems at all! I've testet ALL memory blocks, in another computer, and they run just fine..
What should i do?

Quote from: xmad on 25-September-12, 21:09:52
Also, what cpu, bios version , memory type etc
Make sure the mem mods are in the proper slots for tri channel operation.
>>Posting Guide<<
If everything comes up clean, update to the most recent bios. Only do this if your computer is stable in bios. IE You are only having crashes in windows etc.

MSI Big Bang Xpower II did not post - Debug LED Code #67

I need HELP...!
I have a problem my board did not post , did not start and i have the DEBUG LED CODE # 67 displayed.
There is my build
MSI Big Bang Xpower II X79 LGA2011
Intel Core i7 3820 LGA2011 Processor
Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100 CPU Cooler System LGA2011
G.SKILL Ripjaws Z Series memory (F3-12800CL-32GBZL) DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 - CL10-10-10-30 (8192MB X 4) - 32GIG located in DIMM 1-3-5-7

LG BH12LS35 Blu-Ray Writer 12X BD-R 16X
Ultra LSP-750 Power Supply
Cooler Master HAF X EATX Tower Case
When I put the power on, the power supply activated fans and drives spin, all the LEDs on the motherboard light up but nothing appears on the screen.
No video signal at all and the computer stop and restrart every 15 seconds. When these reset occurs there is no beep on the speaker , nothing at all, no flashing screen either, nothing.
The DEBUG LED display a sequence of flashing numbers 19 - 60 - 19- 60 - 67 and stop showing still the number # 67 for about ten seconds and then he reset again.
I carefully followed the instruction manual for the installation, I installed the memory modules in slots 1 3 5 7, i put my video card in slot PCI-E2. all the power wire are connected correctly 1 x 24 pins ATX, 2 x 8 pins ATX, 1 X 6 pins , all the wire from the front panel are correctly connected to the m-connector in JFP1 & 2.
Did i forget something, I don’t know what the debug led code # 67 exactly mean and what i have to do to fix-it
Someone has an idea what is wrong or have any suggestion to solve this issue.
Thank's all for your help.

I followed some advice to remove the memory modules and this is actually caused by the use of memory but you will see I still have a curious bug.
I referred to the instructions manual to the letter for the choice of DIMM SLOT to put the memory module in single, double, triple and quad channels.
If I install 1 memory module in the DIMM SLOT 1 to operate in single channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show the SETUP SCREEN.
If I install 2 memory modules in DIMM SLOT 1 & 3 to run in dual channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show the SETUP SCREEN.
If I install three memory modules in DIMM SLOT 1 - 3 - 5 to run in triple channel, everything is normal and the motherboard POST normally and show the SETUP SCREEN.
As soon as I install four DIMMs modules mémoiredans SLOT 1 - 3 - 5 - 7 to run in quad channel, the motherboard freezes and does NOT POST and show code 67 on the debug led and has reset itself every 20 seconds.
I tried all my RAM modules alternately in both single channel and everything works normally.
I did the same thing in rotation for both dual and triple channel and everything is still normal with all fourth memory modules individually.
As soon as I put a fourth memory module it freezes and displays the code 67 or L9 dependent side as you look.
So my bug is my motherboard MSI Big Bang Xpower II do not want to work in quad channel.
Do you have any idea where I should look for, is a setting in the BIOS , I have flashed the bios to the latest version V1.5
I included the screenshot of the BIOS to see if you can notice something wrong.
Thank you

MSI Big Bang xPower II PCI-e 3.0 Problem

Hey Guys
I´ve got a big problem with my Big Bang Xpower II Mainboard. Although i´ve got at PCI-e compatible (Gigabybte GTX760 OC) which is placed in PCI-e Slot 1 and PCI-e Gen 3 activated my Board doesn´t activate PCI-e 3. I´ve already tried to install the UEFI on several ways but nothing helped.

Aha, but how windows changes will affect BIOS PCI-e version reading?
etc: this one which you said:

You can see the PCI-e Version activated before the Xpower BIOS Screen shows off (the where it show all data about the ASMedai chip ...
or this still shows 2.0 during bios post screen?

MSI Big Bang-XPower, Corsair AX1200W and 6-pin motherboard connector

Hello, I apologize if this has been answered but I didn't seem to find it on the forums. I have the Corsair AX1200 power supply and the MSI Big Bang-XPower motherboard. The board has two ATX 8-pin connectors. I know that the second one is only needed if you are doing serious overcloking. But I assume it's ok to plug both in whether or not I'm overclocking?? I see the AX1200 has two EPS/ATX 8-4 pin connectors so I am fine there.
My real question is that the mother board also has an ATX 6-pin connector for the graphics card. Firstly, is this needed since the graphics card has it's own power connector (I have the EVGA SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580). The card needs a PCI-E 6 pin and an 8 pin connector. I see the AX1200 has six 6+2 pin connectors so I believe I'm fine there.
But for the motherboard connector, can i use one of the PCE-E 6+2 pin connectors (just 6 pins obviously), or is this not good sine the connector is not labeled as an ATX connector?
Thank you.

Hi,
Bumping this as it is the question I have. How does the motherboard access this power from the EPS? It is constantly available to the cpu? Would it not be better to plug in the 2x8 pin EPS anyway as it gives a greater redundancy?
I am sorry if this is a stupid question but I recently got flamed on a forum for carrying on about connecting the EPS cables up to my Corsair Ax850. The flamers carried on and on about how I would never need to use the EPS unless it was LN2 cooling.
I cannot see the harm in it but I would like to understand computer power supplies a bit more and how exactly they work. For example why do some vid cards have 6 pin and other 8 pin when it looks as if both plugs just have a 12 volt lead on one row and the other row a ground lead?
Anyhoo.
Happy first post to me.

MSI Big Bang XPower II - Corsair H60 Water cooling issue

So I am using a Corsair H60 water cooling on my MSI Big Bang XPower II mainboard. I have followed the correct instructions on installation but every time I turn the computer on once it its 31 it shuts down. Everything seems to be working correctly except the cooling. There are no instructions that really relate well to installation for this water cooling to this mother board so I have tried placing the pump power and the fan power on various different inputs. I have the pump just on a sys power fan and the 120mm fan blowing through the coils on the back of the machine connected to the CPU 1 head fan (as instructed in their videos). I am not 100% sure the pump is working but I know that the fan is working and the hardware overview shows it recognizes the fan.
anyone have some ideas to try to see if I can get this to work? I am also wondering if it is a faulty pump or something but it seems to be working.

Quote from: seth.eckert
I have the pump just on a sys power fan
The pump is not working. The 3-pin connector for a fan header is just for reading out pump speed. You need to power it with the molex connector.

MSI Big Bang XPower II - Firewire and PCI issues

Hi all,
yesterday i recieved my new MSI Big Bang XPower II and got some really strange issues:
First of all ill let you know my hardware:
MSI Big Bang XPower II (BIOS v1.4) new
Intel I7 Extreme 3960X new
G.SKILL 64GB RAM Kit 1600 new
Palit NVIDIA GTX 680 - 4096 near new
3 x RME Soundcards used but okay
7 x WD 2TB SATA where 3 are OS Systems and 4 are Storage used but okay
Be Quiet Dark Power 1200W new
1 Problem:
There is absolutely no Firewire available. I tested the onboard connection (which is at the backplate) and i also tested the extension connection with a additional firewire slot. Also it seems that wether Windows nor Linux is recognizing the firewire at all. The strange thing is that i recieved this new board after i send the first one back to my reseller with exactly the same problem!!! I also take a look into the BIOS if there is any option i need to activate but as far as i see there is nothing to set for 1394?
2 Problem:
As you can read above i use my GTX680 and all 3 RME Soundcards each with one PCI Slot. But some of the slots are not working fine. If i, for example mount my GTX680 to Slot 1 and want to mount my first RME Souncard to slot 4 (2 and 3 are covered under my GTX680) its not working. If i try it in slot 6 for example, the soundcard works fine.
BUT:
The slot 4 is not damaged cause if i set my GTX680 to slot 8 and retry my RME Cards in slot 4 its working...
Never had that before!
I connected the 24pin ATX and both 8pin connectors (the 4pin additional connector for the graphics is not used).
Would be nice if someone guiding me through the dark

With so many components and shared resources, you are gambling with IORQs and I/O addressing space.
Mmmhmm i dont thought about getting interrupts, MSI is offering the board with that configration/features and if there is one user out who try to use the board near to the fullest it should of course work or not?!

MSI Big Bang-XPower II SLI question

Hello. I have a MSI Big Bang-XPower II with two cards in SLI. The cards are cooled using AIO water cooling brackets which makes them take up three slots each instead of two. I would like to add a third card with the same cooling. The manual says that for 3-way sli I should use slots 1,3 and 5 or 7 as they are all PCIe 3. My processor doesn't do PCIe 3 so I leave it in PCIe 2 mode. My question is, could I set up the SLI configuration using slots 1, 4 and 7? Would it run at 16/8/8 in pcie 2? Or would the 4th slot not be usable for sli?
Thanks

No, that is not possible. PCI_E4 is a gen2 slot limited to x4. SLI is disabled once a slot used is at less than 8 lanes. Follow the Multi GPU support table on 1-21 of your manual.

MSI Big Bang-XPower II won't start.
