MSI Gaming 5 won't Post
Hey Everyone,
Running into some problems with my new build. The system specs are:
Msi Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard
i7 - 4790k
Ballistix 16GB (DDR3 - 1600)
Evga GTX 760
Corsair Cx 750M
Samsung ssd 850 Pro 512
The error code I get from the Debug Screen is "A2", but it doesn't break it down on what it means from the book.
As for clearing the CMOS, I put a jumper on the board and the blue led light came on and then removed it. Should I do something else with it? The manual isn't that detailed after that.
I also popped the ram into a working system and it seems to be good.
Any help would be useful on what I should do next.
Thanks in advanced!
-Aaron
disconnect any storages
then retest
about clear cmos, see >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

Hey, I got a refurbished MSI KT4V (KT400) from newegg today. First of all the packaging wasn't that good. The motherboard was in an antistatic bag, inside of a fedex box inside another fedex box. No padding at all. I see nothing physically wrong with the motherboard. So it takes the place of my Epox 8KHA+. I can not get the board to post. It will occasionally beep 3 long beeps. Beeeep beeeep beeeep. I tryed different ram, a pci and agp video card. The cpu works fine in my 8kha+ (athlon xp 1600+) Ram is corsair pc3500 ddr. I also took the battery out for a minute and I reset the bios like 10 times. So, should i RMA it and b1tch at newegg for this rare newegg bad packaging?
mate, i'd say RMA right away. this has caused me a week of annoyance and time spent swapping components in & out of my system, running around to other people's houses so i can check what works & what doesn't. i've now seen this prob posted on several boards, it definitely *isn't* a RAM issue.

Z97 Gaming 7 won't post. debug LEDs at 41-43. MSI LED is off.
Hi everyone,
Doing my first build in quite a few years so somewhat of a Noob. I'm using an MSI Gaming 7 and an Intel 4970k. I'm using 2x4GB Crucial 1833 SDRAM.
After hooking CPU and MB, and cooler (Evo 212) I decided to see if things boot before installing a dedicated GPU, drives, etc.
Unfortunately, I don't get to boot, and instead I get stuck in an early post: I go past 99->33-> then I eventually get stuck around 41-43 with the numbers occasionally shifting back. According to the manual, this is "early memory initialization error". I've tried using a single RAM in each of the slot, and then also tried the other one instead. No luck, always the same point.
Not sure what to do at this point, and whether there's a way to check if the MB or the CPU or both are hosed.
Also, I'm wondering why the MSI LED is not on. Should it be on up to the boot? What is its purpose?I'm using a Corsair CS650m.
I've noticed the CPU support issue after I encountered my problem and was surprised to see this, my understanding that the gaming boards did support the new Haswells, at least with a recent BIOS. In fact, there are some references online to BIOS update issues for this CPU.
Let me ask a crazy question: Is it possible that I've somehow POSTed correctly and what I'm seeing now is the CPU term? I'm wondering because the numbers (42-44) fluctuate a bit. I know that POST and POST2 can be used for CPU temp, but I'm not sure how one distinguishes between that and a debug code. -
MSI P55-GD55 Won't post 3 Beeps-Need Assistance

2 weeks ago PC would do nothing at all after I turned off and then tried to restart. Thought I had bad power supply, but it checked out. Cleared cmos by removing battery and turned off oc genie and that seemed to cure problem.
Left PC on ever since. Had to turn off yesterday to check unrelated network issue and when I tried to restart It won't post. Just get 3 beeps. No video. Nothing. Tried to clear cmos, switch memory sticks, only use one mem stick in slot 1 and I get nothing but 3 beeps. Very unlikely that both sticks are bad. Tried powering on from internal switch and got nothing but 3 beeps. Beeps are less than 1 second in duration so I guess they are short beeps.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
If I have to RMA to MSI how long does it take to get replacement? What do I have to send to MSI, all contents of retail box or just the board?Quote

I am ready to toss this board and buy another unless I can get this working.
At the moment there is know certainty about the definate cause for your problem. What makes you so sure that the board is the cause (and not your CPU (which hosts the memory controller, after all), faulty RAM sticks (have you tested every single stick of RAM you have in the first slot (check user manual) and cleared CMOS (with A/C power cable unplugged from PSU before each new start-up attempt)?).
A contact problem between CPU Pads and board socket pins could also cause this (please reseat CPU and heatsink). Another possible cause is a short-circuit problem inside the case (test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface). -
MSI P67A-C43 B3 won't POST with Full RAM Installed
Hello all,
I recently purchased the MSI P67A-C43 B3 mainboard as a custom build
and have been having trouble with it. I have 16GB of ram for this board
(4x 4GB) and when I have 8GB installed (slots 1 and 3 filled), it POSTS fine.
When I fill ALL the slots for 16GB total, the board won't POST and just
power cycles ON and OFF and ON and OFF, etc...
I have replaced the memory and the PSU and am about to replace the
mainboard, but wanted to ask if anyone might have a suggestion for
troubleshooting before I do that.
Here's what I'm running on the system:
mainboard: MSI P67A-C43 B3
proc: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4Ghz Unlocked
proc cooler: Corsair Hydro H80 CPU Liquid Cooler
ram: Corsair High Perform Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz2x4 (4 of these)
HDD: OCZ TECHNOLOGY 120GB VERTEX PLUS SSD and Seagate 1TB LP Serial ATA HD 5900/32MB/SATA-3G
CD Drive: Sony Optiarc 24X DVDRW SATA
video: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB 1024MB GDDR5 PCB PCIe
PSU: Thermaltake 750W Modular Power Supply. 80+ Bronze
case: Thermaltake Chaser MK-I Full Tower Gaming Case
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64Bit DVD
Any ideas here would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!OK, had some time to go test your suggestions here
These are the 1.5V Vengeance RAM Modules. Tried installing 2 of the RAM on slots 2 and 4 on their own. System Boots Fine.
Went into the BIOS and changed the voltage applied to the RAM modules from
AUTO to 1.575V. On AUTO it says is applying 1.5V to the 2x 4GB modules.
Installed the full 4x RAM on all slots... and the system just shuts down. Power cycling again.
What do you think here? Bad Motherboard? Can't think of anything else to try... totally stumped!
Thanks! -
Windows 7 Won't Boot After Nvidia Driver Installed, MSI Gaming N770
Hi I just bought the MSI Gaming N770 2gb and after installing the nvidia drivers, Windows 7 will not boot after my motherboard POSTs.
I bought this to replace an AMD card. I uninstalled all the AMD drivers before putting in the MSI card. I've also run the Display Driver Uninstaller in Safe Mode and everything.
After a few hours of research, I finally came across a thread about flashing a vbios, and something about these cards not working with motherboards with UEFI bios.
I'm using a P8Z77-I Deluxe mini-itx board, with a Rosewill 630W psu.
I have both 6+2 PCI pins plugged into the two 8pin power ports on the GPU.
Is this an issue that can be fixed with turning off secure boot? or by flashing a vbios onto the card? Or is the card a dud? Or do I have to re-install Windows.
If the vbios is required, are there instructions on how to flash it? I have no idea how to flash a BIOS. Thank you!!Had to update BIOS. All fixed!!!!

PC won't boot. MSI Gaming 7 motherboard had a debug code of 67.
PC won't boot. MSI Gaming 7 motherboard had a **debug code of 67**.
I ran Malwarebytes this morning, it found some stuff, I had it remove them and rebooted. Haven't been able to get my PC to boot since :(
When I begin booting, nothing happens at all on the monitors, the PC itself has power and it looks like it's on but I only get this error code 67 on the motherboard and that's it.
Really don't want to unseat the CPU for any reason to troubleshoot that. CPU is always a pain in the ass for me to remove and place back into a PC. lol.

try >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed
Tried that, didn't work.
Unseated each RAM stick, didn't work.
Removed the CPU, cleaned off the thermal grease, reseated it, replaced grease and heatsink. Didn't work.
Literally unplugged and replugged everything in one by one and none of it fixed the problem. Still receive error code 67.
Have no damn idea what the heck is going on. -
Hi! I had to reformat my notebook early because a virus was bothering my notebook's performance. After I reformatted it, I think everything seemed to work fine except my MSI Gaming Center. When I click it, nothing happens even if I click the buttons for it on the keyboard.
Is this the only thing that happens when reformatting a notebook because I might have missed something since I reformatted it when my laptop is more than a week old?
I was looking for an answer here in the forums before over google but it seemed to be removed when I click it. Any links or solutions here?

BIOS is REV:1.0 and EC is major and minor is 0x000000ff (255). Not sure about the firmware though if i found the name at the right place
You need to press del key when you see MSI logo during POST. Then access system information. -

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 proI 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.

I've got:
Motherboard: MSI X99 SLI Plus
Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2400
Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX
It's a new build and I can't get it to post. When I try to turn it on, a red LED located next to the 24 pin ATX power connector comes on and will not go off until I cut the power at the Power Supply. I can't find anything online concerning the red LED. Is it some overvoltage protection? An issue with the memory? I'm at a loss trying to diagnose this. Please see the images below:Hello.
I'm having the exact same issue.
My computer was running with no issues for over 1 month and today when i tried to start it this exact issue happened.
The lights on the rest of the motherboard are working (CMOS, Power, OC Genie) but it won't post.
I have tried to reset the CMOS, re-seated and tried various configurations for the RAM, tried both BIOS and OC Genie on and off and the issue remains.
Could this be a PSU issue? If so, would the remaining lights work?
Anyone else had this issue and how did you fix it?
Thank you in advance! -
MSI P67AGD55 B3; Won't post
Hello everyone!
I just bought a new system for a friend, and I can't get it to post for some reason. I have built multiple systems before. Here's the system
MB; MSI P67AGD55 B3
CPU; Intel Core i3 3220
Ram; Crucialr 2x4GB Ballistix 12800
PSU; Antex Earethwatts 650W
GPU; AMD 6770
etc etc
Basically system won't post and I went through and tried 1 stick of ram, a different stick of ram in the main slot, no ram, no GPU, no HD etc attached.
When the computer starts it does 4 (i think1 long 3 short?) beeps, reboots, repeat.
Something makes me think it's bad ram but I'm not sure.Which BIOS is currently on that board ? Check the little green sticker on the BIOS chip and post that.
I suspect that the board still has the initial BIOS versions for Sandy support.
You have added an Ivy CPU and for that you need the new IVY BIOS support series.
To flash the board, you will have to get a supported CPU first, either family or friends or a helpful PC shop.
My personal choice with that CPU would have been a 7 series board in the same price bracket. -
GTX 970 + MSI Gaming 5 Z97 No post.
Hopefully someone can help me out.
I am trying to use a brand new MSI Gaming 5 z97 mb with a Msi GTX 970 4G video card and have run into an issue. I can boot the system with the integrated video with no issue but if I put the card into the system I barely get a flash of power when I press the power button. The system will not even post.
I am using an AX 650 Corsair PSU, also brand new, I replace the old AX 650 Corsair PSU as part of the troubleshooting.
Any ideas? I am really loathe to RMA this card and be out of decent video for x days / weeks.
Thanks!Did you try to clear CMOS?
Are you able to test different graphics card in your system? Ask a friend or a neighbour for this.
What if you try single RAM stick?
Also: inspect CPU socket looking for bent pins. Use magnifying glass and bright light, or take close and accurate photos and then inspect those. (I suggest this before last part)
You could try to update to BIOS 1.9
http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z97-GAMING-5.html#down-bios
Make sure to use MFlash+ME Update. And follow the instructions on the website. Make sure that the system is stable (so best with single RAM stick and without the graphics card). -

Tried two different video cards, ATI Radeon 9000 Pro and NVidia GeForce2
Cleared CMOS
If there's a short somewhere, where could it be???Antec SL350S PS, 350W
i think you will have to get some thing has far more amps than that on the 12v rail
as both cpu,any modern vga card ,all drives
basically every thing bar ram runs of the 12v rail
enermax 465 has something like 34a 12v -
MSI GAMING 970: Network drivers not found
Good day,
I have encountered an issue, made more confusing as i was playing a MMO when it occurred. MSI GAMING 970
Network drivers are missing:
"Windows did not detect a properly installed network adapter. If you have a network adapter, you will need to re-install the driver"
so I try to reinstall them. then I get the error message :
"The realtek network controller was not found. If Deep Sleep Mode is enabled Please Plug The Cable"
The case has not been opened, the computer was on and running a game at the time of the fault.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I did give all relevant information as the issue is with the integrated network interface.
Device manager shows nothing, drivers won't re-install because it can't see the device. Drivers are from CD. I can get (very) limited access to the internet with a wireless card but it's intermittently at best.
Read the post.
What CPU? What power supply? What memory?
Without proper information we are going to spend many posts trying to figure out what the problem is. Instead of arguing it, just provide the information from the >>Posting Guide<< and we can more easily and better diagnose the problem. -
I'm using the MSI Gaming App with the next config:
MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
Intel Core i7-4770K (OC 4200Mhz)
Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
Corsair 16 GB DDR3-1600 Quad-Kit CL9 9-9-24
MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G (OC 1355 with gaming app)
Asus Rog Swift PG278Q
I have set the brightness of my monitor to 20 and the standard Gaming settings in the app are way to bright. I use the customized settings configured to my own preference but it won't keep the settings. When I restart my computer and open the MSI Gaming App the customized settings are back to normal. Is there maybe some config file, searched for it also in appdata to no reveal, which I can set on read only after set to my preferencesUnfortunately the Gamin App has no option to set preferences permanently so far. There is also no workaround for the App. Alternatively use >>MSI Afterburner<< for clockrate/fan settings and use the driver menu to alter brightness settings permanently.
