Msi h67ma-e45 reboots randomly

Hey all.  I have had this system running fine since august.  In the last few weeks, it's decided to start rebooting randomly.  All drivers are up to date.  All temps are normal and below 50c when this happens.  I am running a core i5 2400, 2x2 kingston hyper x kit, oem cpu fan.  I have 3 fans in my case that are all working.  Case temp is no higher than 30 c.  When the pc restarts, it does not throw a bsod.  I have configed windows to halt when it does.  There are also no event log entries in windows 7.  Any ideas?

Ok, why not this. List out the following for us.

  • MSI h67ma-e45 reboot cycle

    My computer is working normally yesterday but after I tried using it earlier the computer have a continuous cycle of on then off then on then off.  The fans and lights are working but there is no beep sound when switching on the computer and it doesn't continue to boot, there is even no display on the monitor.   Any ideas on my problem?

  • Various MSI H67MA-E45 boot problems

    Hi all,
    First my specs:
    -MSI H67MA-E45 with lastest bios.
    -Core i5 2400
    -8GB ddr3 g.skill ram
    -Seagate 500gb
    -xfx 6870 1gb
    -Seasonic modular 520w
    -Samung dvd burner sata
    Here is the issue I have.
    When I first got the board, I had boot order set to dvd, then hdd. I would say about once a week, completely out of the blue, the computer would boot into the bios menu instead of the hard drive (DVD burner was empty). Contacted msi support and they suggested having hdd set as first boot device. That solved the issue for couple weeks. Lately, I tried to start the computer and fan would turn but nothing else happened. I had to clear the bios memory so It could POST again. Also once in a while right after the computer POST and MSI splashscreen shows it stop right after and all I see is a flashing "_" in the upper left corner of the screen. I have to hit reset two or three times so it can finally "catch up" and load windows normally of the hdd.
    My hdd tested good and are is known good. Did the same with an other PSU...I am lost !
    Anyone has any input before I RMA the board?

    Which SATA ports are you using and have you tested connecting your drives to SATA II and SATAIII ports ? Have you tested different SATA cables ?
    Have you done a CMOS clear, removing the battery dutring the process ? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    I am using sata3 for my hdd and sata 2 for my dvd. I dont have other cables to try out but beside problems booting, HDD have always behaved fine in windows. CLear CMOS method+battery remove did nothing to help...

  • Does MSI H67MA-E45 BIOS compatible with SoundGraph iMON VFD?

    Hi!
    I would like to mount SoundGraph iMON VFD in my PC. It connects to MB by USB port. The problem is that BIOS bootup stops showing 92 at the right bottom of display as SoundGraph iMON VFD is connected. If disconnected, then connected later as the bootup procedure is completed all the items operate well.

    What is the matter of it? Please enlighten me.

    looks like you're doing something wrong.
    have you pointed to archive file?

  • MSI H67MA-E45-B3 (7678) System Freeze

    I get freezes very often on this computer when using dual channel mode .
    both of my rams are fine (2x Kingston 2GB same model) , I have tried them on both slot 1 or slot 3 , everything was fine , but when I use them on slot 1 and slot 3 , system freezes
    I am using Windows 8 Pro , page file is now 300 MB min , 600 MB max .
    The graphics card is : MSI NGTS-450 Cyclone .
    and the CPU is i5 2310 .
    I am running on BIOS Ver 3.2 (latest version)
    power info :
    3.3v = 3.3
    5v = 5
    12v = 11.6-11.7

    Install only a single stick of ram then clear the cmos: >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    Run the system with optimized defaults and assuming the system is stable, re-flash the bios to the most recent. (attached)
    Memtest is included with the forum tool, make sure to run it prior to any flash. If any instability is detected DO NOT FLASH.
    1st check to make sure this is your board:
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H67MA-E45--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
    2nd: Install the forum flash tool:
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    Place the attached archive on your desktop and your fat32 formatted usb stick in a the computer.
    then start the tool and point it first at the compressed archive then to the usb stick using mode 1.
    Then boot to the usb and proceed to flash the bios. I would recommend running memtest which is included with the forum tool prior to flashing. I would also suggest doing this with only a single stick of ram installed in the primary DIMM for the flash.

  • Looking for recommendation on graphics card for MSI H67MA-E45 board

    This board doesnt have an adjacent psi-e slot, so any card that requires that is out right ?
    So the HD 5770 is out ?
    Any suggestions ,looking for something at least as good as a GTS 250.But not looking to break my budget either.Would like ,but dont need dx 11support
    Thanks for any help .

    Some of these cards list as- Required Peripheral / Interface Device- CD-ROM, adjacent PCI slot...
    So all that means is it needs the space an extra slot would take up ,not the actual slot ?Thats seems a very confusing way to say that.

  • Cannot update BIOS for MSI H67MA-E45 (B3)

    I downloaded the latest version and went to extract it and I get a file E7678v32.exe that I can't do anything with since I not running windows on the computer that I am trying to update. I don't see a method on how to extract the BIOS file from it.
    This seems to be the case since Bios v 3.0
    I have a pc running win7 x64 and a Mac, plus freebsd..

  • H67MA-E45 doesn't start with dual memory channel

    I have just bought an H67MA-E45 motherboard and a brand  new intel i5-2300 processor.
    The pc works fine with a DDR3 1333 memory module on slot DIMM1 (as suggested in the manual),
    but does not seem to work with dual memory channel at all.
    When I install two same memory modules on DIMM1 and DIMM3 (dual channel configuration), I get the following problem: When I power on the computer, it turns on and instantly turns off. Then it powers on again on its own, but does nothing else. I get no beep error codes and the display doesn't show anything.
    I use he on-board display adapter and I have only a sata II hard disk connected, nothing else.
    Any suggestion what the problem might be?
    Is there a way to check if there is a problem with the second memory channel?
    PC details

    My computer is now working only on one channel memory.
    Every time I power the computer on, I get three short beeps, the third one is of slightly different tone. However, the manual does not have the beep codes written down, nor can I find them somewhere for the EFI BIOS (E7678IMS V1.2). Is there any link for the beep codes?
    I tried mounting a single memory slot (KINGSTON KVR1333D3N9K2/2G DDR3 (1X2GB) PC10666 1333MHZ ) on DIMM 3 slot, for the second channel to work on its own. When I powered the computer on, I got the same problem, as if both slots DIMM 1 and DIMM 3 were populated. The mainboard turned on (without any beep code or display on screen) only to instantly turn off. Every while (about every four seconds) it tries to power on again on its own, without any intervention, but instantly turn off again. It may manage to stay turned on at one of the following iterations, without giving any beep code, displaying or loading anything.

  • Strange problem with motherboard H67MA-E45(B3) =( please help

    Hi, I have a strange problem with my motherboard . I have a H67MA-E45 (B3) (MSI-7678) , when i try to update it ( http://www.pcbrain.it/images/stories/msi/H67MA-E45/bios/14.JPG ) , i choose the fourth option "Select one file to update bios" , but the bios did not recognize the update file (E7678IMS.1C0) into the Usb flash drive , but if i choose the second option (select one file to boot) the file is recognized. First I made a backup of the bios, and into the USB flash drive has been created a file called "E7678ICX.162" (my current update). Why the extension is IXC ?!? it should have been IMS ! . I tried changing the file extension "E7678IMS.1C0" (the new update) into "E7678ICX.1C0" and when i select the fourth option , the file is recognized! . Obviously I have not started the update , but if I proceed with the update, changed the name of the extension, is it safe? Or do damage?..please help me  :(
    P.S. Sorry for my bad bad and very poor english , i'm italian =)

    Still think there is a batch conflict or possibly a bad stick in the new sticks. Might test each new stick individually for a bad one. Again, the other solution for an 8BG kit may be the new Kingston HyperX PnP's. Could you post a screenshot of CPUID's CPU-Z Memory & SPD Tab for one of the new sticks?
    Added: Actually, screenshots of the old sticks Memory & SPD Tab may be of help too. It may be tRAS or tRFC differences between the two kits. Just speculation at this point though.
    All the batchs works perfectly...this is the screen http://imageshack.us/f/163/ramkk.jpg/ ...save and zoom
    EDIT: The old stick are SLOT #1 and SLOT #2 ...the new 3 and 4

  • H67MA-E45(B3) won't boot, no beeps. BIOS?

    It won't boot. The power LED comes on and fans spin, but I get no monitor activity and no beeps.
    I'm theorizing this is BIOS related. My BIOS sticker says E7678 IMS170. I'm using a Core i3-2100 3.1GHz. The website says I need 7678v17.zip. Do I have this already? I can't make the connection between the BIOS sticker and the 7678v17 file.
    I actually have two MB's, and two CPU's, and two sets of ram and a different power supply. No combination of MB, RAM, CPU, power supply, works. I went down to 1 stick of ram, no video card, and no peripherals. To my thinking it HAS to be the BIOS at this point.
    Thoughts?

    Yeah, I've got the 4pin plugged in.

  • H67MA-E45 BIOS menu freezes

    Intel i3 2100T
    MSI H67MA-E45 (B3)
    Silverstone 500W SST-ST50F-P
    Kingstone Dual channel 1333MHz 4GB (2x2GB) Dual Channel KVR1333D3N9K2/4G
    Since day one of firing up my new build, the BIOS freezes while in any BIOS setup menu after about half a minute or so.
    POST and bootup both go by without either issue or delay and I can still change BIOS settings if I'm fast enough.
    The strange thing is, memtest86+ shows no errors and Windows is perfectly stable as far as I can tell, though I haven't put it under heavy load yet.
    I've successfully tried flashing (via forum tool, after memtest) to the most recent BIOS version with no luck in fixing this issue.
    Any ideas or things I might have overlooked?
    EDIT: Eh, wrong section? Sorry if it is, was half asleep when I posted (and still am).

    BIOS menu is no longer freezing. I think I stumbled onto the fix by coincidence.
    New keyboard/trackball (IOGEAR GKM561R) came in the mail, so I installed it and removed the temporary keyboard and mouse I was using originally.
    A little while later I went into BIOS and found that it didn't freeze anymore. Thinking it was an issue with the USB keyboard or mouse I previously used,
    I tried entering BIOS with just the previous keyboard. It was stable, but once I tried again with both the keyboard and the mouse the problem returned.
    I'm thinking the mouse (steelseries KINZU) or a combination of the keyboard (Razer BlackWidow) and the mouse was the cause.
    Also, just finished putting the system under heavy load with no stability issues. Looks like I'm in the clear. Thank you guys for lending me a hand, though. I really appreciate it.
    EDIT: Bernhard, I didn't see your post until after I posted this, but it seems you were right on the money about the keyboard/mouse.

  • [Motherboard beeps] H67MA-E45 (B3)

    Hi there,
    I have read several posts to find out what's wrong with my MSI H67MA-E45 (B3) motherboard, but have problems listening how many times the motherboard beeps. My setup is as follows:
    Quote

    INTEL CORE I3 2100T 2.50GHZ 3MB S-1155

    Samsung 2TB 5400RPM S-ATA2 32MB x4
    Seasonic PSU X-560 GOLD
    BluRay drive
    The problem:
    When I boot my pc, everything is fine. It also seems that everything works as intended inside windows as well. The thing that concerns me is all the fast beeps at the start of a boot. I can't hear how many beeps there are, so I hoped anyone here could help me? I think it sounds like 10 beeps, but I'm not sure at all.
    Here is a small youtube movie I uploaded while booting my pc:
    Thanks for your help,
    Ricbus

    If its beeping but otherwise starting as normal (ie boots into Windows), then this is USB device enumeration beeps, and is normal.

  • H67MA-E45 won't boot (new build)

    I am putting together a new build for a HTPC. Here is my setup:
    MSI H67MA-E45
    Intel Celeron G530
    4x2gb 13333mhz Patriot G2 series RAM
    Seagate Barracuda 500GB (boot)
    Seagabte Barracuda 1TB (storage)
    BFG 550W PSU
    I emailed tech support initially as I could not get a video signal when booting. The I power it up, the CPU fan is on, the 4 APS LEDs are on, but nothing else. I bought a 8400gs locally and tried that, still no dice. After some back and forth I was told: 'The MB can support G530 CPU since E7678IMS.1C0'
    This is a brand new mobo, and I was wondering what bios was shipped from the factory. If there is any more info I can give to help identify the bios version, I'll get that ASAP. If the bios is an early version that does not support the G530, what can I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks Henry. One last question: I live local an MSI Service Center (City of Industry, CA). Do they accept walk-in/drop offs?
    That would be excellent if they do.
    You are one lucky person! I would certainly ask them. Here is the generic link for contacting them; http://support.msi.com

  • MSI X79A GD-45 - Random Locking / Rebooting Issues

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded my old P45 chipset Q6600 16GB Hyper-V home lab server, with a nice X79A GD-45 Board, with an i3820 & 64GB of Ram.
    I've installed the system with Windows 2012, however I can't seem to get it stable.
    I have a basic AMD 4550 graphics card in the server, and Dual Port HP360T nic, 2 x LSI Raid Controllers, I have tried removing all of this, but still get the same issues.
    I have the latest BIOS updates from the MSI website.
    I found that switching the ACPI power settings to C6 in the BIOS improved the stability but it hasn't resolved the problem completely.
    I have my memory running @ 1333Mhz, as I've seen some people mention that trying to run 8x8GB @ 1600Mhz can cause problems, but that makes no difference.
    I've tried running with 32GB of Ram rather than 64GB but same issues.
    The strange thing is the PC doesn't blue screen, it sort of hangs, i.e. Windows 2012 goes un responsive, however I can still move the mouse cursor around, just nothing works, other times it just reboot's itself, and I get unexpected shutdown messages in the event logs.
    Do I have a dogdy m/board, or is there some other secret to getting the X79 boards stable, my old Q6600 on intel P45 chipset was like a rock, longest uptime was over 250 days without a reboot..
    Thanks,
    Andy.

    Hi,
    Just to let you all know that i think I had two issues in the end, the MSI commander software causing random reboots of Windows 2012, and also an old casecom 500w PSU that was causing the strange partial hangs.
    Removing MSI commander software and setting FAN control directly in BIOS stopped the random reboots, however I was still getting problems with partial crashes for example Hyper-V VM's still running but windows desktop would go unresponsive etc.. and also issues with occasional HD corruption.
    Since replacing the PSU the partial lockups / crashing have gone away, and I've had no more instances of corruption, server stable now for 80hrs+ without a reboot or weird partial hang :-)
    In addition moving to a new 80+ platinum PSU has seen the power draw to run the system drop from 38-40% of the capacity of my UPS down to 17-18% so I've halved the amount of electricity that my server uses when on 24/7, from about 200-250w down to less than 100w, just the saving of approx 2.4Kwh a day (equates to about £0.30 a day) so across the year the PSU will have paid for itself !
