MSI NF750-G55 with AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition bundle from NewEgg

I purchased this CPU/Mobo bundle from NewEgg recently and am having a hard time getting anything to work. Here are the components I am using:
MSI NF750-G55 mobo
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU
2x4Gb GSkill F3-10666CL9D-8GBSR DDRIII ram
EVGA GeForce GTX550 Ti SLI ready graphics board
ZUMAX X3 Series ATX 650Watt power supply
NZXT M59 ATX Mid tower case
Now to the problem - no POST
I have double checked the CPU seating and installation and its correct, have tried both on board video as well as the GeForce, and no signal to the monitor. The 4 blue ASP power led's do light up, and the CPU fan spins, but only for a few seconds. Then it shuts off, then restarts, and keeps cycling like this. Have tried with no memory installed, same issue. I have seen several entries on forums for no POST on this mobo. Can anyone help me here? Am I looking at a bad mobo or what? Currently have it out of the case on a non conductive surface.

MSI NF980-G65 with AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edtion 140 Watt

Do I need to update the bios before I install OS? I have tried 2 of these mobo's and both would shut down during XP installation. The ram I was using was G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666). The board would not restart unless I cleared cmos and that didn't always work. Needed multiple tries sometimes. When it did restart It would show "bad cmos checksum" If it's just a matter of flashing the new bios before I install the OS, then which bios should I use as there are 3 listed on MSI for that board? (1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

What PSU you use? VGA? Read >>Posting Guide<<
Ensure that CPU heatsink is properly installed also:
• Verify that CPU is not exceeding recommended temperature by checking the CPU temperature in the BIOS under PC Health status
•    Check CPU heatsink/fan is properly installed
   •    Verify that any cover over the thermal interface on the bottom of the CPU HSF is removed
   •    Verify that CPU HSF is recommended for your CPU
•    Check for CPU overclocking which may cause overheating
   •    Check CPU FSB clock
   •    Check CPU Vcore voltage
•    Check computer case for proper ventilation
Check BIOS temp reported in BIOS and check CPU operating voltage.

Diagnosing No POST, No Beep MSI 790GX-G65 with AMD Phenom X4 955 BE

Last night I came home to a ceased PC with a frozen screen. PC has been working fine for over 2 years, but CPU has been running a bit hot of late (60C) with occasional BSODs with some ATI driver reference. Updated video drivers a few times. Suspected overheating CPU or ATI. Never overclocked it.
Specifications:
CPU: 3.2Ghz Quad-core AMD Phenom X4 955 Black Edition
M/B: MSI 790GX-G65
BIOS: Don't know. I upgraded it at one point.
Memory: 4x 2GB DDR3 Apacer (2GB UNB PC3-10600 CL9). Don't have more info right now.
Video: On-board.
Hard-drives: 1x 500GB Western Digital (Removed)
Peripheral Devices: PCI Wi-Fi card (Removed)
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x64
PSU: ISO-500PP Switching PSU, Max Output 420W rated 23.0A @ 12V
Symptoms:
Black screen with blinking monitor LED (connected via DVI).
All 5 blue M/B LEDs light up.
No POST.
No Beeps (connected PC speaker to JFP2 according to maunal)
No peripheral activation, e.g. no keyboard lights / mouse.
All funs run (incl. PSU fan).
If USB keyboard is plugged in when powered, keyboard function LED lights up for a second, then dies.
Suspected Causes:
Broken CPU
Broken PSU. It is the only component I skimped on with this system (420W), but I was saving money and didn't have a video card DVD drive or anything fancy connected. Worked great until now.
Things I have tried:
Left it overnight.
Reseated CPU and heatsink (did not reapply thermal paste).
Cleaned heatsink under CPU Fan.
Removed PSU and M/B from case.
Disconnected everything.
Laid M/B on anti-static bag with only power supply and monitor via DVI cable.
Removed all RAM. Starting produces no beeps from PC speaker (via JFP2). Suspect broken CPU.
Some things I have not tried:
A different PSU
VGA output
Different AM2 CPU (don't have one)
New thermal paste
Clearing CMOS and removing battery. Not sure how to do this (do I need to remove CMOS battery and hold clr CMOS button for 60s?)
Since everything on the M/B lights up (incl. blinking Wi-Fi LED when it was connected), I suspect a bricked CPU.
Where do I go from here?
(edit: added keyboard LED symptom)

@Fredrik:
Yes, I tried with 1 RAM DIMM in different positions. I connected a PC speaker and my standard speakers via the audio jack (some new M/Bs apparently output to it). I don't have access to another compatible system to try my CPU on. Very infrequent thunderstorms.
@cronnin:
1. Placed M/B on unpainted wooden table. Good point about the anti-static bag - I forgot that it conducts. No change in symptoms.
2. Everything is disconnected. I've tried 1 stick of RAM in different slots and connected a CRT monitor via VGA. No video out.
3. I connected an old PC speaker to pins 2 and 8 of JFP2 and plugged in normal speakers via green audio jack on M/B. I can't get it to produce any sound whatsoever.
4. FSB overclock switches are both ON.
5. I pressed and held CLR_CMOS for 10 seconds while ATX power was connected and system unpowered. Didn't touch the battery.
More Things I Tried:
Used a multimeter to test my PSU ATX outputs on the board when powered on. I get a steady 12.35V, 5.2V and 3V at the M/B power connector. Starting to think the PSU is OK, but still can't be sure. If there was a lack of current, wouldn't the voltages start to break-down?

K9N2 Diamond + AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition: BIOS too old?

I just put my system together and can't get it to boot. I've found out that it could be a bios problem , is there any way to tell what bios version it is without getting to the boot screen. Also is there anyway to change the bios with no boot screen.
it's a k9n2 diamond motherboard with a phenom II x4 955 BE CPU

You have pretty much three options right now:
1) Install a processor officially supported by BIOS Version 2.3 to start the system and then update your BIOS.
2) Ask in a local computer shop or contact your reseller to do the same thing for you.
3) Alternatively, you can try this (at your own risk, of course, and there is no guarantee that it will work):
- Download the latest BIOS Archive: http://download1.msi.com/files/downloads/bos_exe/7375v24.zip
- Unpack the BIOS File (A7375NMS.240) and rename it to AMIBOOT.ROM
- Copy the AMIBOOT.ROM file to an empty floppy disk
- hook up a floppy disk drive to your K9N2 Diamond and insert the floppy disk with AMIBOOT.ROM on it
- hook up a PS/2 Keyboard and disconnect all hard drives, optical drives and USB Devices (and use one memory stick only)
- Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU
- Start-up the system and press CTRL + Home on your PS/2 Keyboard multiple times after start-up
- If you are lucky, the key command will trigger the AMI BIOS Recovery Routine which will attempt to read and program the AMIBOOT.ROM File on the floppy disk.
If option number 3) does not work for you, go back to 1) or 2).

Booting MSI NF750-G55 with locked HDD

Posted this in the BIOS section as well. Not sure which section it is most suited for....
My computer wont boot with a password protected SATA HDD attached. It just sits there and blinks with the cursor at the top left and will not advance. What do I need to change in the BIOS settings to allow my computer to post?

Msi nf750-g55 System Randomly Shutting down.

Hello everyone, Back in April of this year I built a system through newegg with the following Specs:
Motherboard: MSI NF750-G55
Processor: AMD Phenom II x6 1090t (with stock heatsink)
RAM: Corsair x4 2GB DDR3 1333
Power supply: Cougar 700W Sli ready
Graphic Configuration: two MSI Geforce 460 Cyclone GTXs running in SLI
Hard drives: 1 WD 300GB VolociRapter and a WD 500GB mybook removed out of its external
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
Not long after I built the system (before I even thought of overclocking it) I began having a serious yet vague issue: It would shut down randomly. And I mean very randomly. Sometimes it occurs once every couple of hours, and other times it doesn't happen for more then a week. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing on the system either. I could be playing games, or just listening to music and it will still happen, so I can't imagine its related to load. Its been a long, painstaking process to try and fix. I ruled out some of the parts it could be though. I have replaced the Power Supply with a higher quality model and an extra 50 watts, checked the temps on the system for a number of weeks while idle and under load (all looking cool except MCP), ran memtest86 successfully for a full 24 hour with no issues, as well as re installed windows 7 once. Issue still occurs.
To be perfectly honest I am not really sure where to go from here. I purchased all my parts through newegg, so I am confident I could RMA the component that is experiencing failures if that is the case, but there in lies the problem: I am not sure which one to RMA! I don't have a means to swap out parts, as no one i know has a system with a similar configuration as me.
I am suspicious of the Motherboard along with the processor, which is why I am posting in these forums...
Any ideas or suggestions as to how I could either fix the problem through configuration or pinpoint which hardware component is causing these random shutdowns would be much appreciated! I really don't want to run the risk of damaging any of the other components...

Swapped out my first 460 with my other one after 2 consecutive shut downs in 1 hour... haven't been around to continue working on it until recently, but atleast its looking like it isn't my cards.
Quote
it doesn't matter, software voltage measure isn't accurate you can't trust them.
If you want to check voltages [use multimeter],
or best test with another well known working and powerfull enough quality and single rail PSU
I got a question, why would single rail or multi rail make a difference? I hear the only reason they split the rails is for protection... and if both my PSUs are SLI ready, why are my components drawing too many amps?
So I guess its time to shell out another 100 - 150 bucks on a PSU... Can't say I'm thrilled. Looking for one with a single 12v rail. My question is this, would this single rail power supply meet my needs?

And if not can you or anyone make a recommendation(s)? Thanks!

As for the AMD standard paste, sorry but I remove that instantly and add my own itty-bitty-tiny drop of grease and smear it so thin you hardly see it.
Too much paste can cause this too, and yes I consider the AMD amount too much.
Heck without paste it will do a better job then the AMD amount, the CPU has a heat-spreader and doesn't need that much.
But, it could also be your heat-spreader is broken, as such CPU-temp-readings will reveal that.
Well, so far I've seen no problems with temps. The shutdowns don't seem to indicate that heat is a problem too. I can start the system immediately after a shutdown, it doesn't matter what I am doing on the system to make the shutdown occur, and my peripheral devices are sometimes still powered after a shutdown (such as caps lock on the keyboard).
Also, hardware monitor shows it idling at almost room temperature in the post above lol. Under load I think about 38 - 40c from what I remember seeing. I'll post a load temps pic after a few hours of torture testing tomorrow.
Also, I may have only personally built one other computer from scratch, but I have done quite a bit of troubleshooting, as well as assisted with other people's builds. Now I am not calling myself an expert by any means, but all that being said I have yet to come across or even hear of a CPU heat related problem where there was too much thermal paste on a stock heat sink... lol learn something everyday.

MSI NF750-G55 Hangs

Ok, shooting in the dark here. I just purchased the MSI NF750-G55 from Newegg along with these components:
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800), sticks in slots 1,2
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor (including fan)
XFX HD-485X-ZNFC Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit DDR3
Antec NEO ECO 400C 400W Continuous Power ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
The system hangs randomly. Sometimes with a BSOD (that disappears too fast to read), sometimes the screen just freezes requiring a hard reboot. Totally random, I can play Witcher II for hours just fine without and incident, or I can mess around with Solitaire and have it freeze 10 minutes in. I cannot find a pattern to it. Nothing in the Windows Event Logs other than the un-expected shutdown messages.
I have not messed around with the BIOS settings or played around with any overclocking functions, everything is stock/default.
I have run Memtest86, did not find nothing or hang the system. (let it run overnight)
Windows 7 64 Professional, latest drivers from MSI and ATI (for the video card).
Any suggestions as to where/how to start to troubleshoot this?

Umm isn't "Vengeance" memory for use with icore/Sandybridge systems?
I agree psu but then changed to ram issues when read the memory you're attempting to use with that system.
I'm not seeing any Vengeance on the list for your board, XMS yea but not Vengeance unless I missed it.
Not saying no way it can work but might require tweaking to do so.
Have you run memtest at all?
You really should be using the Corsair Dominator GT memory with your Phenom II see>http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9.html click on the FAQs & Support link on the page.
Might RMA exchange it with newegg or if not there talk to "Ram guy" over at Corsairs support site, he'd surly help you out if you asked I'd think.
You might in the end get the Vengeance to work yea, if its the root cause of the issues you have now, tweaking it some to get it working right, might not be optimal to do so regardless.
Any way I'd run memtest if you haven't, see what that tells ya first.

AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition
I am afraid that is the full potential according to AMD for this nice CPU. What you intend to do is to unlock cores that were deliberately locked by AMD to ensure that you have the stable use of this nice CPU.
The potential instabilities that may result, far outnumber the probabilities that it will actually be successful. Count yourself very lucky if you do have success, otherwise be happy that you got a working Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition that you paid for.

KA780G not working with AMD Phenom II x4

Hi, I have a KA780G that is currently working just fine with an AMD 64 x2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 2.7 GHz with 8 GB of RAM (OCZ Reaper) and running on Windows 7 64-bit (ultimate edition).
I just purchased and installed an AMD Phenom II x4 940 Black Edition with 3.0 GHz, 8.0 MB Total Cache, socket AM2+. My problem is that whenever I try to boot the system with this processor, the Windows loading screen just hangs and never gets me to the login screen. I can access the bios perfectly fine but Windows will not boot.
The cover of the motherboard box does say "AMD Phenom II x4 Ready" so I'm confused. Anyone know what my problem is or how I can try to fix it? Thanks in advance.

New computer MSI NF750-G55

Hello All,
Just received a new shipment and the computer is not passing POST, Details as follows...
(oops) AMD Phenom II x6 1090T
MSI NF750-G55 BIOS default no software installed yet...
GSkill 4x4GB DDR3 1333
CoolMax 500w +3.3 30A +12v1 18A +12v2 16A -12v 1A 12v 380W
On Board Video
Kingston 128gb SSD and Sony Sata DVD R/W
Getting post to the Checking vRam and it freezes, no input after that recognized. Computer is new, I have tried with just 1 dimm installed (yes in the correct spot) and also with only the CPU, PSU, and keyboard connected. All fail at that point. Post code 008F reads at that point.
Any additional info will be given at request.

Check the BIOS chip, as you need at least BIOS 7578v13 for that CPU.
If the board doesn't have that version, you will need a supported CPU to flash it.
It may also be the memory you use, try 1 el-cheapo stick and see if it posts.
And last, if you PSU is this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159062&Tpk=CoolMax%20500w
That piece of junk will not power your system, it's old rubbish.

MSI NF750-G55 connecting the power button? noob question i know

just bought my computer, AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE and MSI NF750-G55 motherboard.
bought a nice cooler master case and i just need a little help setting up the power button and LEDs.
i understand everything in the manual that came with the motherboard completely i just need to know how to identify which cables from my case should be positive or negative? im assuming that if a little arrow is pointing to the connector wire that it's positive?
any help is greatly appreciated, hate to fry my board first day out of the box...

For power & reset switches it doesn't matter which way you plug them in as long as you plug them in at the right place. They are simple momentary contact switches and polarity doesn't matter for them. As far as the LED's go if they are plugged into the right place they either light or they will not. If they don't light then simply swap (reverse) the connection and they should work. Just go by what the manual shows for the where part of plugging them in. You are not likely to fry anything.

890FXA-GD65 with AMD Phenom II 1100T and Asus Radeon 6950 No Video Signal

I just did a new computer build with an MSI 890FXA-GD65 motherboard AMD Phenom II 1100T processor and Asus Radeon 6950 graphic card.
I have a SATA hard drive and optical drive. Memory is Corsair XMS3 4GB PC10666 DDR3 1333MHz 4096MB.
When I turn the system on I have no video signal so I can't see bios. I tried taking everything apart and rebuilding and still nothing.
The power is on to the motherboard and graphic card. The motherboard has 2 LED indicators on.
I am a newbie with the new computer build and need some help. I accidentally pressed the clear CMOS while the power was on. I have no idea if this is going to mess up the motherboard.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Mike

I could not locate this on this specific motherboard. The one issue is that there is a CLR CMOS button on the back and I pressed this when power was on .
I know there is another way to clear the cmos with the jumpers but I didnt do that .
Anyway motherboard still powers up. I took it to a tech to check it out. Don't know anything as of yet. Thanks.

MOVED: MSI Nf750-G55 Epp/E.M.P/SLI support?

Does the Nf750-G55 support EPP/X.M.P?
It definately does not support XMP Overclocking Profiles (they are for Intel Platforms only). You modules do not have EPP Memory Overclocking Profiles (NVIDIA Chipset Platforms).
Quote
And if it does how do i enable it?
As you do not have modules with EPP support and since your mainboard does not support Intel XMP Profiles, there is nothing to enable.
Quote
I also want to know if it allows you to adjust voltages
You can adjust voltage values manually in the Cell Menu.

When i try to change the CAS latency to 7 i cant post.
Well, either don't set the CAS Latency to 7 then or raise the memory voltage accordingly and make sure that the Command Rate is manually set to 2T/2N.

MSI K9N2 Diamond w/ AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE Overheating

Motherboard Version = 1.1
BIOS = ? (Just purchased, but have an RMA on the processor for the issue listed below, so I'm not sure of the version)
I purchased the MSI K9N2 Diamond and an AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE. According to the CPU support page, this processor does work with the board. Also, MSI Tech Support said:
Quote
Yes, this board could support Phenom II X4 955.
and
Quote
We have verified this CPU for this board on our lab with no problem
As far as I can tell, the processor works with the board because it does boot and recognizes it. However, it overheats extremely fast. The processor temps exceed 62C (Max Recommended CPU Temp) in under 30 seconds. I reseated the cooler several times with various thermal pastes so I'm sure that is not the issue. I was wondering if anyone knew of an existing problem between this processor or board, or if it was probably just a defective core.

Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
Try your setup outside of pc case on a piece of non-conducting material to see if temp will drop.
I'll try this tomorrow when the new CPU arrives if the issue persists.
Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
Just to be 100% sure -- do check that the fan is placed correctly onto the heatsink. the air should be blown into the heatsink, not be sucked through. (Hollow side of the fans down).
Fan is indeed situated to suck air through the cooler.
Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
Check the heatsink is clean.
Yeah it was pristine, brand new.
Quote from: Hans on 03-July-09, 01:42:40
And then this: does the heatsink feel hot when the system overheats? Or warm to the touch?
Yes, it was very warm to the touch. Almost too hot to want to keep my finger there, actually did cause a layer of flesh to disappear from repeatedly testing it in this manner >.< (to see if the heatsink was warm each time, that is).
