MSI MPower B2 debug code

I have boot problem.
New Mpower board with i7-3770K, Crucial Ballistic Tac, 2x8GB, Silent Pro M2 620W.
I have B2 debug code when booting with onbord GPU.
Boot is OK with my old Asus GPU card.

ok if i was you i would take the CPU out of the socket and look at the contact pads for connection marks on them with a magnifier and strong light!
if any pads are missing a contact mark or one has 2 you have a location to look if the pins are bent in that area where it sits.
if all checks out and all seem to have connected to the pads then i would hazard a guess and say that something is seriously wrong with the board!

  • Msi z87 gd65 debug code A0

    Hello,
    A week ago I've build my new with the following components
    cpu --intel core i7 4770k
    mainboard msi z87 gd65 latest bios update 1.8
    memory  CRUCIAL BLS2C4G3D18ADS3CEU 8GB (2X4GB) DDR3 1866MHZ

    MSI GTX770 2GB
    the pc works fine with any issue at all. I don't have o/c, the memory is properly installed etc.I get a constant A0 debug led code which I cant fully understand what really is...I've already searched the forum and googled but I don't make any sense...
    any help???
    thanks in advance....

    FYI with some BIOSes the A0 code is changed to show the temp in C instead
    Oh, that's a nice feature. Which BIOS for GD65?

  • MSI Mpower Z77, boot code A0/A2 hanging

    Hello all,
    Parts:
    MSI Z77 MPower motherboard
    Intel i7-3570k
    Phanteks TC14 cooler
    32GB Corsair Vengeance RAM (I believe it's 1600 speed, it's underneath the cooler so I haven't pulled it yet)
    Samsung 840 128GB
    MSI GTX650ti
    IBM M1015
    Nvidia Quadro NVS 420
    2xPlextor M5S 120GB
    Samsung 850W X-series PSU
    APC 750 ES UPS
    Lubuntu 14.04
    (yes, I used all the display outputs and RAM  )
    I've recently have been having issues with my workstation which has been rock stable up to this point.
    I experienced some kind of power failure (I'm not sure if it was the UPS, the PSU or something with the board itself). The UPS has had some trouble with its battery but at the time, it didn't seem to be the culprit as there were no beeps at the time. I can't remember if the displays lost power too, but I believe they were hooked up to the non-battery side of the UPS.
    I've had two unexplained power failures on this workstation in about a week or two. After the latest power failure, I went to reboot the machine and I got stuck at either A2 or A0 (on the display and LED) and a black screen. I left it for a day or two before I had time to diagnose.
    Just today, I pulled the SSD, and I got stuck at A0. I pulled all the cards (I ran the display off the onboard HDMI) and USB off the back (mouse, Sony headset receiver, etc). Any time I rebooted, I got the same A0 code. I have switched BIOSes, no joy. I also cleared the CMOS multiple ways (shorting the coin cell battery holder, as well as holding the button). I do get a message that the CMOS has been reset, but when I try to go into BIOS, it hung for at least a minute before I gave up. I also tried to use the Go2BIOS button, no change. I also in there somewhere tried booting off a USB stick, but seeing as how I couldn't even hit BIOS, I'm not surprised nothing changed.
    The OS SSD is fine and runs off my laptop.
    I haven't tested the PSU yet nor have I removed the RAM as it's buried under the Phanteks but at this point, I do believe the motherboard is buggered.
    At the time of power failures, I hadn't been performing anything odd, just working away. I also haven't changed anything on the machine in a long while, and I haven't reseated the CPU so very doubtful I have bent pin(s).
    Any other thoughts before I RMA the board??

    I'm not entirely sure if it's good to have Quadro mixed with GTX series..
    Never had a problem actually, it runs an extra 4 2D displays while the GTX650 does the 3D rendering. Works pretty well in fact after the initial setup hurdles.
    Quote
    Usually A0 code is given out when something's wrong with BIOS. A2 however is the last code I see before it boots (both LED and screen).
    Possibly some capacitors died? Did you see through the motherboard?
    I will have another look. I pulled the heatsink to get at the RAM and didn't notice anything terribly wrong, but didn't look specifically at the caps, moreso burnt spots on the board (kind of hard with a black PCB!). Double checked just now with the HS mounted the caps I can see. Don't see anything bulging or noticeably amiss.
    I did get a response from MSI tech about checking if the primary BIOS was corrupted, going down that road now.

  • MSI Z77 MPower - Boot issues (A2 debug code and more)

    Hey guys,
    I've been trying to get my new computer build working but I have encountered several issues when trying to boot the computer.
    Before putting everything inside my case, I tested the motherboard + CPU + 1 stick of ram to make sure everything was working. I had issues in the past where I had to remove everything once I had things mounted.
    Everything seemed to work and I got into the BIOS and looked like everything was good.
    I mounted it in the case with the same configuration and I was able to get into the BIOS again. So I thought everything must be ok.
    Fast forward a couple hours later after I finish plugging everything in, I try to turn it on but it just gets into this boot loop.
    Turn on > Fans spin for a couple seconds > turns off > repeat. This just kept going on and on and I wasn't exactly sure what was going on.
    I started to unplug components and when I only had the Mobo + CPU + 2 sticks of ram in I was able to get into the BIOS.
    I plugged things in one at a time and when I plugged in my SSD it would work.. but when I added another drive I would start getting the A2 Debug message on my board.
    I would continually get this A2 debug message and I am not sure what to do to get it to work.
    I have updated my BIOS to the latest ones and it is still not working.
    Could this be an issue with my PSU? I really hope it's not the MOBO..
    My System:
    i7 3770k
    CoolerMaster 212 Evo
    MSI M77 MPower
    16GB DDR3 Ram
    7870PCS+ Tahiti LE
    Corsair HX650 PSU

    Quote
    I've tested it with one stick and 2 SSDs and it doesn't give me the A2 debug code.
    Do you have any different ram to test with?
    What ram exactly are you using?
    You may perhaps be able to set the ram timings in bios to JEDEC standard 9-9-9-24 1600 perhaps

  • MSI MPOWER b2 or 62 debug code

    I bought my 1st Mpower about a month ago and had to RMA it. I had/have the same problem as this user.  https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164766.0
    I RMA'd the board because after hours of clearing cmos and swapping things around nothing worked. Now I get a new replacement and the same problem persists.
    I have swapped the ram using 1 stick at a time, tried both one at a time. Cleared CMOS numerous times. I have had the board in and out of the case so not a grounding problem. I have tried on-board and and a GTX 560 gpu. There are 0 bent pins that I can see. CPU triangle is facing the correct way. My monitor says no signal and can't get into the bios (obviously). I also cannot tell if the debug led says a lowercase b2 or a 62, I assume it is b2.           
    Any help is appreciated this is very frustrating.

    There will always be people with similar problems but that doesn't help you with yours. If no possibility to test cpu there is no other way but to rma cpu or board and to see if it was the right component to rma.
    This has happened twice with two board and someone on these forums and someone on toms hardware forums with the same cpu (3770k) and same board as me with the same led debug code. That's not a similar problem that's the exact same problem.

  • MSI MPower Debug Codes 4F, 55, 56 [HELP]

    So, I just went into the BIOS this morning, just lookin around on settings and disabled a few (Intel VT), and some other stuff that was unneeded.
    I booted into Windows, everything was normal, and then as I type my password to the login screen, it just turns off. I was like "hmm okay, maybe shouldn't have turned that off"
    I boot my computer again. This time there was no signal on the monitor. I thought that I should open my case to check the debug codes. When I boot my pc it just keeps an ongoing loop of 4F, 55, 56.
    I tried switching the BIOS to the 2nd one. The result was worse; it just made a restart loop(the other one doesn't restart, just loop those boot code).
    So now Im kinda screwed :/ - Any suggestions?
    - Note I also tried to do a CMOS reset on both BIOS

    A number of MPower boards. MPower what platform?

  • Debug code 70 , mpower z87

    Hi,
    yesterday a friend of mine bought the mpower z87 mobo and
    everything was fine until today.
    The debug leds show the code 70 and the video output doesn't come out.
    I'm really desperate and sad for him, I dont know what to do.
    The configuration is:
    msi mpower z87
    i5 4670k
    corsair cx750
    samsung evo 840
    msi gtx 770 lightning

    thanks for the reply.. but I knew that the 70 code means Late South Bridge Inizialization
    but I didn't know what does it mean .
    Anyway we tried with only 1 RAM plugged and the debug code sometimes is A2 (Ide detected) sometimes A0 or A3.
    With 2 RAMs the code is 99 (Super IO Inizialization).
    We also tried to unplug the video card and the hdd and do the CMOS, with no results    .
    little update:
    the computer now turns on but after 3 mins turns itself off...

  • Z77 MPOWER - Debug code A2

    I've been using this motherboard for a solid month until last Saturday when I shut down my pc and I walk away being done for the day.
    To my surprise the motherboard boots itself as I'm walking away and it's refusing to go post bios and keeps giving different error codes depending on what I pull out. Having switched all parts and taken everything out the only debug code that remains is A2.
    Specs
    Z77 MPOWER
    3570 @ stock with h80 cooler
    2 x 8 gig ram 1600
    2x 7950 @ stock
    2 ssd's, 1 hdd and 1 DVD drive.
    Corsair ax 750.
    What I've done.
    Pull out memory cards 1 by 1.
    Pull out the Graphic Card, tried different as well.
    Pull out all SATA cables and connectors.
    Pull out everything hooked to the backplate.
    Reset CMOS (Will boot, when prompting to go into bios to change settings it will shut down and go back to A2)
    Switch to DUAL BIOS (Will boot, when prompting to go into bios to change settings it will shut down and go back to A2)
    I've RMA'd the motherboard but the shop said a pin was bend and refused to fix the motherboard. Having received the motherboard back and inspected the socket I did indeed notice a slightly bend pin.
    However this pin is so slightly bend that it's not touching any of the other pins and it took me a "whole" 2 minutes to bend it back in line with the rest.  Whatever this was caused by me or them I'm unsure, hell the pin is so slightly bend that I doubt it would interrupt with normal operating procedures.
    The motherboard however is still not functioning and stuck on the A2 error code. The CPU debug leds show all lights as a "go"
    I wonder if it's even possible for the pin to become damaged while in usage for over a month and cause it to be stuck at A2 debug code? Having looked up the code it seems related to SATA,IDE and the likes which where not plugged in.
    I was forced to buy the same motherboard from another store to actually use my pc again, the CPU itself is working fine so it's definitely the motherboard. Love the mobo, just not the store support 
    Needless to say, having spend 360 (180x2)  euro on this board and receiving virtually no support from the shop, I'm not amused.
    Any support or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance,

    ok have you asked to return the original board to the shop for RMA or a refund?
    also did you have MSI live update installed when it all went bad?
    I have returned the original board to the shop for RMA. They refused to accept it claiming MSI would not accept the board due to the slightly bend pin.
    I did not have MSI live update installed at that time as I reformatted my pc recently so bare essentials were installed. I however do have it installed right now and used it update my new mobo to the latest bios firmware.

    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.

    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.

  • MSI Z87 G45 Gaming Debug codes

    Is there a list of the debug codes for MSI LG1150 motherboards anywhere? For some reason the website and the manual dont seem to have them.

    the board uses a AMI based BIOS so use this >>AMI Post Codes PDF<< as they are the Checkpoint codes it uses!!!!
    the 0x before the code is nothing but the eg: 0xA2 is error code is error code a2/A2 and so on!!!!

  • MSI x99 Gaming 7 Debug code 04

    hi this day my computer dont start only black screen , i see mobo debug code 04

    i use 2. bios swich computer working no problem
    now i go RMA?
    edit: me try bios clear button nothing always full black screen and debug code 04 , i cant remove bios battery 2 graphic card + water cooling :/

    If you familiar with flashing bios, you can try use the second bios to recover the first one.
    Manuel has some guide... 
    BIOS recovery with AFUDOS command
    When BIOS updating fails or causes the computer non-bootable, you can recover the
    failed BIOS by the steps below.
    Preparation:
    1. Prepare a bootable USB flash drive.
    2. Download the latest BIOS file from the MSI official website at www.msi.com, and
    then decompress the file.
    3. Copy the AFUDE238.exe and the BIOS file to the bootable USB flash drive
    BIOS recovery steps:
    1. Power off the computer.
    2. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the functional BIOS ROM.
    3. Insert the bootable USB flash drive you have made to the USB port.
    4. Boot the computer into the bootable USB flash drive.
    5. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the failed BIOS ROM.
    6. Execute the below command to flash the BIOS:
    For example: AFUDE238 EXXXXIMS.XXX
    7. Restart the computer after the BIOS flashing is complete.
    Important
    Do not use the Multi-BIOS switch when system is booting up.

  • MSI Z77A-G45 Displays debug codes

    So I got a new motherboard from MSI, and so far it works great, with one weird thing. Upon booting, it displays 3 "debug" codes as I've read other posts call it. It displays 9C for 1 second, B4 for a whopping 20 seconds, and then A2 for one second. BIOS is updated to latest 2.C.
    I wanted to post this because 1) When changing settings or rebooting often, this gets annoying. 2) My SSD boots Windows faster than this.
    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Thanks! I unplugged one device at a time until it booted (and it passed BIOS withen 3 seconds yay ) It was my Backup-UPS. APC BE550G. It can run fine without being plugged in, but it shuts down my computer and provides statistical data and custom settings when plugged in. Should I contact APC or MSI about this issue?
