MSI X79MA-GD45 BIOS/boot problems.

Hi I've been having problems getting my board to boot consistently.
System specs are:
MB: MSI X79MA-GD45 (BIOS 3.1)
CPU: Intel 3820 (C2 stepping)
RAM: 32GB (4x8GB) Kingston HyperX Beast 2400MHz (Running 1333MHz, auto)
GPU: Zotac GTX 680 4GB
PSU: Corsair 860i
Most times I have to clear CMOS before the system will boot.
Soft reboots are fine, however, if I change stuff that requires a proper reboot, fx enabling VT-x, the system will need a clear CMOS again before it will boot.
The error I get seems to be videocard related, 1 long 2 short beeps, however the videocard works fine in my old system.
I can usually get the system to behave for a little while by reflashing BIOS.
After clearing CMOS the system boots EVERY time and runs flawless.
PS prior to BIOS 3.1 multiplier 43x (and 44x, partially) were working, now it seems to max out at 42 (regardless of BIOS setting) but this isnt really an issue as much as the system instability at stock settings.
edit: corrected BIOS error beep typo

In combination with an i7-3820 the new Win8 bios versions for all X79 boards seem to be troublesome (that's also the reason for the multi limit).
Downgrade to the prior version (1.7) with the attached archive and retry.
For flashing >>use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< and with it point to the attached and NOT unpacked bios archive (Mode 1: Point to archive).

MSI-7043 (PT880 NEO-FSR) Boot Problem

I just installed this motherboard which I purchased on eBay from someone who swears it was working fine before.
I installed it in the following configuration:
MSI-7043 PT880 NEO-FSR Motherboard (Rev. 2.0) with BIOS version 2.0
RaidMax Scorpio case with a 520-Watt RaidMax Power Supply (its older, but digital P/S tester says everything is OK)
2x1Gig SuperTalent DDR400 RAM <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
Intel P4 2.4Ghz Prescott CPU (FSB533) <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
ThermalTake TR2-M12 CPU cooler <- New
LG DVD-RW Lightscribe 22x IDE Drive <- New 2 weeks ago, was working fine in Compaq PC
Seagate 320 Gig IDE Drive <- 2 Monthes old, was working fine in Compaq PC
(Drive is partitioned 1-250Gig Bootable & 1-70Gig)
Chaintech Nvidia FX5200 AGP Video Card <- Worked fine in Compaq PC
High quality round 80-pin IDE cables
No SATA drives installed at all
The system POST's fine and recognizes all installed drives, but only occasionally will boot to CD-ROM, and will never boot to hard disk, just sits there with a flashing cursor. When it did boot into CD-ROM, I was able to boot Linux and browse hard drive fine. Booted once into MEMTEST and it ran for hours fine with no errors.
I have tried defaulting BIOS several times, tried several configurations for boot sequence and using F11 Boot Menu. No matter what I do, booting from CD is hit and miss (1 out of 4 times will boot) and it will NEVER boot from the hard drive.
Interesting thing is if I disconnect the hard disk, it will boot to the CD-ROM EVERY time (sort of), but I do have to wait until it says no boot record found on CD or floppy, then press ENTER to try again it boots
After searching for through other posts, I have tried increasing the DDR RAM voltage to 2.6v with no change.
Any ideas??? is there a BIOS limitation to the boot partition size of the hard drive, if so why would this affect booting to the CD?

Ummm... never had that trouble before... It should at least start booting, or at least recognize the boot sector has a valid boot record.
Those are all valid ideas, and I appreciate the input.
BTW, I am not a newbie. I am a telecom, network, and computer technician with almost 20 years of experience. This is just the first time I have had a problem with MSI boards, I use them all the time and they generally work flawlessly. I understand operating system licensing, OEM versions, 32 vs 64 bit, and how to copy files from one drive to another using multiple different ways. I was just hoping that there was something simple going on that I was missing that someone would just say "Yeah, turn XXXXX feature off in the BIOS".
I put an older 48x CD-ROM drive and a Western Digital 40 Gig in it and it worked beautifully, in the middle of installing Kubuntu Linux right now.
I actually resized the boot partition down to 130 Gig with Linux Parted Magic and it booted OK.
I think I actually had two problems with the previous setup:
1) Boot partition was too large for the BIOS, the entire partition should not exceed the 134 Gig boundry (different sites say anything from 130-138 Gig) for the BIOS on the motherboard according to some articles I googled.
2) The LG DVD-RAM drive was just too slow spinning up for the bios to recognize the boot partition on the CD or DVD.
I resized the partition back up to 250 Gig and put the DVD-RAM, Hard Disk, Processor, RAM, and video card back into the Compaq, it is a fast (by standards of the day) and stable machine, I was just looking for a way to add some expansion capabilities for more PCI cards and possibly a SATA drive. Anyway put a 2.0 Ghz Celeron, 768 Meg of DDR266 RAM, a CD-RW drive, and a Matrox G450 Dual-Head 32 Meg AGP card I had laying around in place of of the old and will just delegate this to a Linux box.
So far all seems fine, think I will just hold off putting too much into this machine since I was planning on building a new one this summer after USB 3.0 came out.
Thanks.

SL410 Major BIO boot Problem

Recently my SL410 ThinkPad laptop take 15 MINUTES to boot up and have Windows 7 Prof edition ready.
I've run chkdsk /f against the hard disk, no bad sectors found. Defrag also did not indicate problem with the hard drive.
But I've noticed something has been changed my laptop, that is, previously the BIO setup requires password protection but now it does not. I'm thinking loud here... what if a perpetrator changed some hidden BIO setting and that could seriously SLOW DOWN the boot. Or adding a really LONG useless loop during the boot process such perpetrator of course really knows the ins and outs of Windows 7 OS.
What do you think?

Have a look at the boot order and see if the HDD is first, not the LAN/PC card/DVD drive.

RT Bios booting Problem

Dear Friends,
I have Old PXI system with Controller PXI 8176. I have installed LVRT 2009 on the controller. It was running perfectly untill today. Today it stopped working. It do not connect with my development Laptop. SO, I could not deploy any code to RT controller. After trying other things for about an hour, I understood what the problem was. When I connected Monitor to PXI controller it showed me "Keyboard not detected" error. When I connected keyboard it worked perfectly.
I set the option to not detect keyboard in BIOS. But next day same problem. I connected monitor and found keyboard error. As, My system is RT Headless controller, I don't won't to connect keyboard and press escape every time.
After googling few hours I found that, this happens because of BIOS "battery" Drained out.
So, friends is there any method to avoid this error without replacing battery ? I don't wont to add one more issue in my maintanance manual.
Can upgrading BIOS work ?
Regards,
Hitesh Dhola

I have found this in the manual, If it helps...
Require Keyboard to Boot—When Enabled, a missing or
malfunctioning keyboard causes the BIOS to halt with an error. When
Disabled, the BIOS allows booting without a keyboard. If you are
using a USB keyboard, you may attach it at any time during the
powered up state. To use this controller in a “headless” mode, you must
set this option to Disabled. The default value is Enabled.
I want it to be headless.. So, is there any BIOS Update available which has default value as Disabled ?

MSi GD-65 Gaming MOBO boot problems

Hi
I have just recently purchased this board, all is fine booting up etc, but when i want to enable the integrated graphics, it wont boot. its fine booting with just gtx 670 but i need to enable the i7 2600k hd3000 graphics for me to use virtu mvp.
On my last board (gigabyte z68xp-us3p) it was automatically enabled and booted fine showing both my gtx 670 & hd3000 in the device manager, but the msi seems to not like it for some reason as it only shows my gtx670 in device manager.
Either im not doing the settings in the bios correctly or its something else ive missed.
any help would be greatly appreciated. Image is what i currently have it set at for my gtx670, if i change any of the settings it just wont boot.
Thanks

Are you using D-mode or I-mode?

My experience with Virtu is that is has a negative affect on the 3D performance so I disabled it again.
Have tried both modes, still wont boot when i enable intergrated

Msi 865pe neo3-v bios flashing problem

Ok so i tried to flash the bios and i succeeded but the problem is that i flashed with winflash, bios v5.2 and from my understanding that version is for the boards that support dual channel cpu-s. The problem is that now when i try to flash the bios with version 1.2 it tells me that the size does not mach the installed bios size or something like that. I would like to add that now with v5.2 i have a lot less options (settings) in my bios. How can i flash back to 1.2?

Stop BIOS flashing and tell us what you are trying to do.

MSI p965 Neo-F Bios Fsb Problem

hello,
i am facing a problem with increasing the fsb beyond 166[as this is the maximum restricted fsb] with my pentium d 805 cpu, on this motherboard, whereas i have read in this thread that some users are able to reach an fsb of 312mhz easily. Is this a restriction in the bios or some other problem and can the 1.6a bios solve this problem, or is their any other mod bios with which i can select an fsb beyond 166 Mhz.
if anyone can helpme with this problem please reply as soon as possible.
Thanks

MSI KSN Neo2 USB floppy boot problem

Hi all,
I've just put together a PC using the MSI K8N Neo2 to replace my gigabyte. I've got an option on these boards (nforce3) to boot from a USB floppy and did so several times with the gigabyte (memtest and 6800ultra bios flash). For some reason however, the MSI refuses to do so. I get to POST and then I get a "detecting IDE drives...." and that's it. The machine freezes. I can't F10 or DEL, I have to Ctrl, Alt Del and pull out the floppy before it will post. I've done the obvious things like 1st in Boot order, floppy seek etc, as far as I'm aware everything's the same as the gigabyte. If I plug it in once in windows, it's recognised and works fine. Any suggestions would be very welcome.
Many Thanks in advance.
Roch

I don't know if I can give any more details,
-MSI K8N NEO2 Platinum 54G SOCKET 939 NFORCE3
-AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.8GHz Boxed (Winchester, 0.09µ)
-Memory 512MB/333mhz don't know more about that
-Power 350W should be enough to get to bios
-Keyboard some Logitech
-Mouse: Not connected
-Monitor: it works
-Gainward Geforce 3 ti 200 golden edition
-Hardrive/Floppydrive not connected
When I boot I see Gainward logo then monitor goes black (not power save just black), when i reset it will happen again. Diagnostic leds does some tests but hangs on "Sing on bios". I have tried to reset with jumpers, different cables with differend harddrives. Different memory slots. Tonight different memories. Motherboard and prosessor is 1 day old every else is from my old computer which was 2000+ Athlon with epox via kt333. Don't know what to test anymore and I don't have any spare parts to test what is broke or is it just memories? but why it don't hang on memory test etc.

MSI MOBO and AMD XP2600+ Boot Problem Solved.

Thanx to MikNT. My KT3U2R is working with the AMD Xp 2600+333 at 166fsb. :D
The problem was that the Fast Command for DDR was set to Ultra. This needs to be set to Normal. After that all is well.

MSI K8N/Neo4-SLI Cold Boot problem

Sup guys, my system won't restart whenever I crank the HTT to 239+. I heard it has something to do with the nForce4 chipset but I don't know how to fix it. I have the latest BIOS, chipset driver, video drivers, the whole she-bang, but still nothing. I'm currently running my 3000+ Venice @ 2151mHz (239x9) w/ a 4x HyperTransport multiplier (1.450vCore), 512mb x2 Corsair Valueselect @ 166 Mem index (default voltage) 2.5-3-3-8. Thanks.

I used to have corsiar vs and it wont go much higher for you...the stix just crap out after a while. If you want more, you have to go with more expensive mem stix like crucial ballistix or patriot xblk/other tccd mem. Just my 2 cents.

MSI P45 Neo-f with intermittent boot problems

Current system:
*CPU: Intel core2duo 4300 1,80GHz
Mobo: MSI P45 Neo-F LGA775
*Memory: 1 Kingston 1GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 and 1 Dane-Elec 1GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2
Videocard: Club3D Nvidia 8800GT 512MB GDDR3
*Hard drive: 120GB IBM deskstar 7200rpm Ultra-ATA/100 (yes I realize it is known as the deathstar, but it hasn't failed so far, I do back-up because I'm paranoid
PSU: Real Silent Nexus NX-5000 500 watt
*Soundcard: Soundblaster Audigy
OS: Windows XP home, service pack 2
*Lite-on IT dvd-rom drive
*floppy disk drive
I also have 3 case fans spinning away in a marginally large Chieftec Dragon tower.
The parts I marked with an asterisk (*) are parts that I removed from my old rig and re-used.
I'll try to give a clear rundown of my problem and the steps I've taken so far.
3 days ago I acquired the P45 Neo and installed it into my system, together with the 8800GT videocard. I was still using my old PSU, a Chieftec 360watt. This PSU served me well for 7 years, but it was starting to build up noise while trying to keep up games on my old rig.
I had some trouble getting the system to boot, I tried changing some of the 4 pins wires going to the hard drive and the dvd drive. I don't know if it was luck or if I managed to divide the load properly for the system to boot. But I succeeded into booting up, got into the bios and eventually installed WinXP.
As soon as it was time to install the videocard drivers, it stopped responding. I assumed it was a power issue, since I could only install the 20pin and 4pin cpu, but my Chieftec PSU didn't have a 24pin plug to the mobo - and it needed replacing anyway! So I bought a new 500watt PSU that had all the required plugs and more wattage.
I installed the new PSU, checked every connection and pressed the power button. 'Lo and behold, the computer starts up. I install the videocard drivers and it proceeds with no problems. I try to install the soundcard, but the cd says I don't have one installed. I fix that by going to the System list and install the drivers from there. I install a firewall. By then I have successfully rebooted the computer 3 or 4 times. I decide all is well and turn off the computer. But I realize I wanted to check up something on the internet.
I press the powerbutton. The PC power light go up for just a fraction of a second. I can see the blue LED of one of the case fans switching on just as briefly - then it goes out. The computer keeps trying to turn itself on. It looks like it's hickupping to try and boot!
I turn off the PSU power on the back-side because the computer keeps trying and wait for a bit. After 10 minutes, it still doesn't work. I leave the computer for a bit and return an hour later. The computer then starts up with no problems. I turn it off after a few hours, do a reset, start it up, no problems. But then the next day it happens again.
It's pretty tough figuring out what the problem is because it looks..almost random. I considered it could be a heat issue, but sometimes it *does* start up just after it's been turned down. Checking the bios shows no strange temperature shifts.
Hope anyone can help me, because I do not want to go back to my old Asrock mobo

While powered down I cleared the cmos data, removed the Dane Elec DDR2 module and set the bios to optimized defaults. Computer restarted to WinXP with no problems (it has been off the whole night). I shut down WinXP, wait a few moments and then turn the computer back on. Alas, it won't start and starts hick-upping. I turn power off at the PSU again, so it stops.
Now I try switching out the Kingston module instead. By now the computer has been off for 10 min (while I write this entry on laptop). I press the power button on the PSU and then the power button on the front. There is a short pause, lasting a second. The computer turns on, longer now, but it only lasts 2 whole seconds before it turns off again and goes on again (I believe now you can call it powercycling). It repeats this process until I shut off the PSU.
I check to see if I have installed it properly and try again but it starts powercycling again.
15 min pass, I put the Kingston module back in, press the power button and voila, this time it does start. WinXP shows up, no problems. I leave it on for a bit and then shut down. And when I press the power button again - the feeling of dread returns, when it starts hickupping again.
I'm going to see if I can install one of the memory modules from my housemate. Then hopefully tommorrow, I'm going to try if I can test a different PSU, since I see someone else on the forum - who recently posted, has the exact same power supply and also has boot problems, coincidence... or not ^^;.

MSI P7N SLI-FI LGA 775 nForce 750i booting problem and error message

Got this board a week ago and I'm having some issues with booting-sometimes. I power it on and it just hangs there doesn't do noting. I hit the restart button and it powers on, but gives me a red letter error message that "previous overclocking has failed and settings were restored to default". But I never overclocked it. The settings were at default in the first place. After it boots and goes into Windows I have no problem at all, works great. But as soon as I reboot it i hangs again until I restart it or power it off. I tried different power options in the bios, but I get the same problem. I checked the MSI web site for BIOS update but there isn't any. So if somebody knows a solution to this problem let me know. Thanks.

I know the 7600GS doesn't recommend a PSU with a lot of power(15 - 17 A), but you're running two of them in SLI. Your PSU only has 18A on the +12V rail. This could very well be your issue. Below are some good single +12V rail PSUs, Corsairs and PC Power & Cooling. You can also look for Silverstone single rail PSUs, but they tend to be pricier. If you can't get anything other than split-rail, post back and we'll try to make some recommendations.
