MSI P67 GD65 Boot Beep change after bios flash 1H & 1I

Good evening.
First of all my pc specs:
- Msi P67 GD65 B3 Revision
- i5 2500K
- 2 * 4 gb DDR 3 G.Skill Ripjaws XF3 1600 mhz
- Sapphire HD 4870
- Ocz Vertex II 60 Gb (windows 7)
- Western Digital Blue Caviar 1 tb (storage)
Today I flashed the bios using a bootable pen drive.
Previously I had the 1.9 version and all went perfectly fine. The booting sequence was : 1 short beep, short beeps counting my usb devices and 1 final short high tonality beep.
Now I updated to version 1.I and the beep sequence changed completely: now I have 1 long low tonality beep, short beeps counting my usb devices and no final short high tonality beep . Also it takes some more seconds than version 1.9 before making the beeps!
I tried also versione 1.H (which I have in this very moment) and I experienced the same faulty beep sequence
I also tried to clear c-mos and load optimized defaults but I still have the same beep sequence in both cases.
What shall I do?
Please notice I never changed memory or cpu settings (no overclock at all)

Quote
They say do not care about the beeps if the PC could work normally.
Same thing I already told you... 
Forgot about those stupid beeps.  As long as the system starts & boots fine, they are not critical error signals to begin with but status signs, that tell you that some things are there.
Quote
What do they mean by "the new bios should fix some beep error" ? Which bios are the talking about? Maybe the upcoming 1 L version which is going to be released in future?
What they are telling you is that the beep sequence is not something to worry about. That the beeps "lie" so to speak and that you are looking for a meaning that is not there.
Quote
What beep sequence do you have with 1.C version compared to the two videos I posted ?
It does not matter.  You are getting hung up on beeps even though the system is obviously running just fine.  If the beeps are getting on your nerves, then unplug the speaker from the board and enjoy the silence.
This is a non-issue.  Stop being paranoid.

  • MSI P67-GD65 running 4 DIMMS slots

    Hello,
    I have two kits of memory:
    2x2Gb 1600 cl7 1.65v (that runs at 1.5v with same latencies 7-8-7-24)
    2x4Gb 1600 cl9 1.5v  (9-9-9-24)
    Both kits are Gskill Ripjaws, I have already tried lots of things without any success so far, (relax timings to high values, increase voltage, tried link/unlink, swapped kits from black to blue), I cannot boot with RAM set to 9-9-9-24 (whether 1 or 2T) and 1600Mhz, the only way is to disable XMP and let memory speed to auto.
    And so memory is recognized and runs in Windows at around 1310Mhz~1315Mhz with timings 7-7-7-20 (values chosen by me since I cannot use higher speeds).
    In case I set memory speed to manual, whether its 1333Mhz or other values I get three long bips and I am unable to boot.

    Thanks for your help Jack, this explains my issue.
    I am still used to SDRAM, I mixed different sizes, brands, single and dual sided, even speeds, it always run without problems.
    I need to get used.

    And the fact that they are the troublesome Ripjaws to begin with. Mixing one type of troublesome Ripjaws with another type of troublesome Ripjaws and you end up with double trouble.
    I see, despite of the fact Ripjaws are mentioned as compatible, I should avoid them as they mean trouble.

  • MSI P55 GD65 Booting issue [SOLVED]

    Hello everyone!
    I finished a new build two days ago:
    Intel i5-750, 2.66GHz
    MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.3, Lotes socket
    A-DATA 2x2GB DDR3 1600Mhz CL8 Vitesta Extreme Edition
    GIGABYTE ATi R5850 1GB
    KINGSTON V-series SSD 64GB SATA
    SAMSUNG SpinPoint F3 500GB SATA 7200rpm
    Artic Cooling Fusion 550, 550W, dc outputs are mentioned below
    and some minor components (optical drives, wifi card etc.)
    I started the computer and everything seemed fine. I managed to enter the bios. I was checking H/W monitor and several other options, I didn't change anything. Suddenly (after circa 5mins) the computer shut down and started to turning on and off repeatedly. I stopped the loop by turning off the power supply. I started it again, however it got stuck in the loop imediately. After a while I managed to access the bios again, meanwhile I was trying to find some answers on internet.
    I decided to remove all memory sticks (as a lot of topics here in forum which are describing the very same problem sign RAM problem) and started computer. I expected beeps and LED-show. However, the computer didn't start at all! Even fans were not spinning, just nothing (although PSU was giving tension). I put RAM back and computer started. It was like black magic. I tried again, remove RAM - no start, put RAM back - no start too. Mobo went definitely dead. So I RMAed it.
    I've obtained a new one, which was:
    MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.2, Foxconn socket
    I put all the stuff together and started computer. Everything went fine, I managed to enter the bios. Nevertheless, I decided to check RAMs for sure; I changed booting devices, restarted and booted system rescue cd with some utils. I started memcheck basic test. The basic test was fine with no errors, then I started filling with random pattern test. It ran for almost 24h. I wanted to try another exercise test and... computer shut down and the loop was there once AGAIN!
    I don't think the mobo is the issue here anymore. I bet on two things: PSU or RAM (I'm not going to think about CPU!)
    I don't recall exact dc ouputs but: AC Fusion has 2 12V rails with 17A each. Mobo needs 18A, but as I understand it, I have to check 2 rails combined against the requirement - 34A > 18A, it's okay, isn't it? I've choosen this one as I wanted silent PSU (it performed really good in tests, f.e.: http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3516). I don't have any other similar PSU to swap (neither my friends).
    My suspicion is the problem is RAM incompatibility. My RAMs (AD31600E002GU2K) have 1.65-1.8V working voltage. Maybe the mobo sets auto settings badly (I'm not present at my computer now, I left for the weekend); they are not in QVL too (http://eu.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1846.pdf). The problem is I was not able to get into bios before I left. As I read on the internet, P55 is pretty touchy when it comes to RAM. I'm thinking about swapping them for Kingston 2x2GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL7 (http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX1333C7D3K2_4GX.pdf; which are not in QVL either, but KHX1333C8D3K2_4GX are; only latency difference).
    Any advices on the whole problem?
    P.S.: I've tried CMOS clear on the former one too, no change. As I mention I went through the most of the gd65 booting issues posts here on MSI forum and several others.

    Do you think Corsair VX550 550W could do the job? It has a single rail with 41A on 12V. ATi certified Straightpower BQT E6-550W for 5850, which has 4 rails per 18A, but overall 41A too (http://www.be-quiet.net/be-quiet.net/data/media/_stories/216/sp_e6_550_EN.pdf).

  • MSI P67-GD65 (B3) Did I make a bad choice? I'm building a new system!

    After reading all the problems everyone seems to be having with boot problems and freezing, did I make a bad choice? Here's what I'm putting together when the parts arrive.
    It's been a few years since I built my own rig, but every pc I've ever owned I built myself except my Dell XPS 630i  (got a screaming deal).
    MSI P67-GD65 (B3)
    Intel i7-2600K unlocked and unleashed
    CORSAIR high performance Vengeance memory module 8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz 9-9-9-24, 1.5V
    Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E 1080P
    Western Digital Caviar Black 1T Hard Drive
    Dell XPS 630i Case and Delll 750W power supply (I know I shouldn't reuse this case)
    Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

     "Dell XPS 630i Case~I know I shouldn't reuse this case"
     Poor case for cooling with quad CPU and higher power consuming VGA card as you sure will end up with high temperature problems. It would be wise to get a better case.

  • Flashing of MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING failed and dual bios not helping, not sure why?

    Hi all
    For the first time in 20 years Ive had a firmware flash fail it seems.
    I have a MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING and updated the bios with the latest firmware via the "M-FLASH" utility within the systems bios.
    All seemed to have gone well, it flashed to 100% rebooted and then just a blank screen and a sequence of keyboard light flashes.
    After a minutes panic I thought not to worry, the motherboard has a dual bios.   So I powered down and switched the bios switch to bios B hoping it would assist and the problem is identical.
    Any tips anyone?

    I just tried this along with removing power from the main board and it seems one of the two did it!   thanks

  • P67 GD80 B3 board not booting after bios flash error 98

    Hey
    Got a bit of a problem now after a bios flash on my P67 GD80
    Been having some stange problems with the system not booting with multi over x50. Tried a newer bios didn't work then with a older bios just to see if there was a diference.
    And sure there was a diference beacause now it shows the 98 post error all the time.
    Same problem as this guy.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=151672.0
    98 error and black screen.
    I know that this board has dual bios and it can swith between the two if one of them goes wrong. It have done that before then i was benching but now i can't get it to work...
    Is my board just a paper weight now or is there something i can try to get it to switch to number 2 bios?

    Is the BIOS blue LED blinking or solid? If no BIOS LED at all, then there is hope. Try & force to POST from the secondary by removing all the RAM except for a stick in the primary blue dimm slot. With power cord removed from the PSU, remove the battery for ahwile, clear CMOS, & test. If you had the Auto BIOS Update enabled before the failure, it should flash the primary. If not enabled, first thing if you can get in to BIOS is to enable Auto Update, shut down & restart & hope for the best.

  • Z68A-GD65 (G3) Memory problems after BIOS update

    Good day, i'm russian, so sorry for my english.
    Friend of mine had MSi Z68A-GD65 (G3), i5-2500K, memory pair 2*2GB with bios 22.8 (latest version with no red letters about ME8 and IvyBridge).
    He decided to upgrade the processor to IvyBrydge and updated bios with new ME8. Then the computer went into a state of continue restarting every 3 seconds. After replacing the CPU to the new Ivy - computer works good, the impression is that the computer does not understand Sandy now and switched toIvy. But it has seen only one of memory pair. My friend just bought a new motherboard. Now he has no problems. I took his MB and SandyBridge CPU.
    Flashing the bios to the old version by M-Flash - it does not see the BIOS file, although it is there (in the root, FAT, 2G). Flashed it under dos with AFUDE238 with a key -x, it said about mismatched ROM ID. After the old BIOS flashing (with an Ivy) computer went three-second reset mode. CPU changed to Sandy i5-2500K - now works good. By the way, now M-Flash see the firmware on a flash drive - I flashed it again from the M-Flash, just in case, reset the settings.
    What is the problem: if I set the memory into the slot 3 or 4, the computer goes into a three-second reboot, it does not matter is the memory in the first two slots or no. If this memory is inserted in the first two slots - all ok. So I work now - in the first two slots with no dual-channel mode.
    The feeling is that the problem appeared after first flashing to Ivy and remained after flashing back to Sandy.
    Question 1: What to do to get working the memory slots?
    Question 2: Is BIOS 22.8 - the latest which I will have with Sandy? (There is a problem now when the computer starts - 1 times out of 10 will not boot - reset is helping, and the BIOS at starting not very fast).
    There are posts about people with the same MB and the CPU and the new BIOS (25.2) that supports Ivy. I'm confused. It means I can use the new firmware from SandyBridge. But there are many posts about problems with new firmware. Where is the true?
    Just checked BIOS version -  P.1 (25.1) 2012-04-16 - by the way with Ivy support. But I flashed with 22.8, I'm sure. ME version in BIOS isn't shown, but while booting - ME 7.0
    What does it mean? Can it be repaired? What should I do?

    Thanks to all. My system is working fine now.
    What it was. I flashed BIOS with tool from this forum. Bios flashed good, but problem still was here. Then I flashed to the first bios version from support site. And again flashed ok but memory still not working in slots 3 and 4. Then I decided to flash back to last flash with Sandy support 22.8 (or 23.8). Then I flashed to the last bios at all - 25.4. Flashed it from dos - this was pretty long. It rebooted 3 times (ME updated too). I still don't know  - what it was with first flashing to Ivy. Now it's ok.
    So I decided the problem is bent pin. With magniglass and needle I've found some uncertain pins (these were not BENT, but slightly bent) and touched these with my needle. And that was the answer. Now all works fine. Thank you all.
    On the russian msi forum no one answered and helped me at all.

  • Msi Z87-GD65 Booting Failure With eSATA Drives

    Hi Folks,
    Before I go down the (probably ill-fated) Customer Service path I thought I'd address the forum here on a little problem I'm having with my Z87-GD65.
    IN essence, if I have a hard drive connected to my eSATA port the PC won't boot.  I'm using an ICYDOCK 4 bay external enclosure (MB561US-4SB if interested).  If the drive itself is on but the HD trays are ejected then it boots.  If any of the drives are secured then it'll hang at a post-BIOS/pre-Windows screen where all I get is a blinking cursor for about 30 seconds and then it disappears to a plain black screen.  If the device is powered off then it boots.
    I've checked the BIOS with one of the HDs running and it doesn't appear within my boot list - in fact, except for one selection in the bios allowing me to disable eSATA there really isn't much I can do there.
    I've upgraded my BIOS to 1.30 from 1.00 and the process seems to move a bit further - now I get the oh-so-pretty ugly Windows logo and that's all.
    When I do actually boot the PC with the ICYDOCK off then I'm able to get into Windows normally, and turn on the ICYDOCK.  After a few seconds all 4 hard drives report in and everything's fine.
    I've been using this ICYDOCK for about  a year and a half, with 2 other motherboards (neither were an MSI) and i7 cores, and neither of them caused me any issues.  I remember that neither of those boards had the port multiplier eSATA capability so I had to buy a controller card with that capability.  I could probably dig that up and see if the problem remains.
    In case you're wondering, if it helps, I built a Msi Z87-GD65/4770 i7 - based PC with 2 internal 2TB Hard Drives, and 16gb RAM.  I already mentioned the ICYDOCK.  I used LiveUpdate to install all the latest drivers & BIOS before uninstalling it.
    I build & repair PCs for a living so I'm pretty familiar with what's going on with the system.  I figure that there must be something happening between the BIOS and Windows "handoff" of the ICYDOCK, but I'm damned if I can figure out just what.

    More information please. PSU, OS being used, etc..
    Live Update is best uninstalled. Flash UEFI/BIOS the safer way;

    Jack posted a pdf of the Dual BIOS. Here is the link, look for Reply #5 in this thread; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145084.0 If you have a failsafe in place to revert to a saved BIOS in the backup chip, I really recommend to give 1.8b6 a try. The forum USB flasher utility information & the 1.8b6 + ME can be found in brattak's OC & Mod Section thread. Svet has everything posted & linked in that thread also involving the beta & flashing it.
    There is an update to the ME at the Intel Website. It is an Interface Host to Firmware update (Version 7.0.3.1184) & no flashing involved. It is worth a try.
    Added: Also the info of the 1.8b6 + ME1164 is in this thread; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=145081.0 (Svet Reply #1 & #3).

  • KT4AV MSI-6712 Dead after BIOS Flash to support XP3000 CPU (Photos)

    Hello, I'm a 15-year veteran system administrator and hardware hacker and this is the first time I have ever had what appears to be a truly DEAD mobo killed after a BIOS flash!   
    Of course I read all the stickies and spent 2 hours research & homework first, before posting here.  I tried everything to revive this mobo. 
    Here's what happened:
    MSI-6712 KT4AV system with onboard Audio and Ethernet, Athlon 2800+ CPU, 1GB (2 x 512MB PC2700 DDR) RAM.  300W PSU.  It's been running great for years with never an issue.  I just got a Athlon 3000+ CPU I wanted to upgrade, but before I did I decided I had better upgrade the BIOS to support this newer CPU, since the BIOS Version History says the later revisions handle the 3000 CPU.
    I upgraded the BIOS from DOS Boot via a Bootable USB and it Verified successfully.  Then I rebooted and it said something like Invalid CMOS settings, so I entered BIOS Setup to view my new BIOS.  I noticed new features like Network Boot ability, so the new BIOS seemed to be a success.  (Note this was a soft-reboot, not a hard power-off reboot).  I set my normal settings and saved to reboot and the system was DEAD from that point on!  No beeps, monitor stays black.  CPU fan does run but that's it.
    Here is what I have:
     (This image is larger if you view it directly)
    Things I have tried:
    Removing all RAM and vacuuming dust, reseating 1 stick nearest the CPU.  (This shouldnt be necessary since I have not removed the ram or disturbed it, but I tried anyway since D-Bracket LED indicates a Memory error.)
    Trying a different brand PC2700 DDR RAM stick.
    Removing CMOS battery for 10 minutes.
    Jumpering Clear CMOS a dozen times.  Leaving Clear CMOS jumper overnight (desperate!). 
    Disconnected all devices from mobo, all HDs, even the AGP video card.
    Unfortunately, since the mobo fails so early, it never beeps or initializes the keyboard, so safe-mode INS or CTRL-HOME don't work... so I can't reload my old BIOS backup I carefully saved before I flashed the new one.
    As you can see the BIOS chip is soldered directly to the mobo.... so am I 100% dead here?  Is there anything I can do?
    I am 100% positive I did this BIOS update correctly and there is no reason it should have killed the mobo!

    Quote
    UPDATE: Oh boy, it looks like I may have flashed the WRONG BIOS???!?!
    Too possible, that's why i ask
    Quote
    I'm not sure what my old bios version was, I couldn't find any way to tell?  The BIOS flash utility did not display my old version anywhere either.
    Well you told that you have created BIOS backup before update the BIOS, ==> "so I can't reload my old BIOS backup I carefully saved before I flashed the new one."
    Can you upload it somewhere to check it?
    Quote
    I now see that I should have instead flashed BIOS v5.4 for KT4AV: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=552
    I am shocked at this mistake...  Can such a small discrepency (KT4V-L vs KT4AV) really kill my motherboard?  I saw the KT4V-L and thought it was right because my mobo has Onboard LAN...
    I'm doomed!

    Sure yes, will be no wonder

  • NEO4 Plat Sli SIL3231 Raid problem - Can't boot after BIOS Flash!

    Hi, I have and Neo4 Platinum SLI. I had "the problem" a while back with the nVida raid where there was a hang on shutdown. I then created a RAID0 using my two Rators on the SIL3132 controller, and have three hitachi drives hooked up to SATA1 - SATA3. Back then, I had trouble getting my SIL3132 array to be the main boot volume. I could boot when no other drives were attached, but as soon as I attached them, I get the boot disk error after post. Somehow I got it to work, but not think this time, I flashed the BIOS and ran into the same problems, as the BIOS got reset.
    First, I went in and re-enabled RAID on the sil3132 controller, and change the boot order to have the RAID voluime be the first boot device, and my other drivers be the next on down the line. Upon rebooting, my system hangs after verifying DMI pool at a blanksscreen for 5 - 10 minutes then gives my the "missing HAL.dll error". if I go back into the BIOS and disable SATA1/SATA2 and SATA3/SATA4 my computer boots just fine. I even completley disconnected my three drives an my system boots just fine. I have searched these forums and could not find anything close to my issue and wondered if it is something I am just missing in the setup. I will say that at POST my IDE devices has always read:
    IDE Primary Master [None]

    Is this normal? all my hard drives are SATA. the raptors and three SATAII drives.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Since the Nvida raid problem seems to have been fixed (as far as I read) I would like to go back to using the nVidia raid controller. I just need to back up my system first!
    Thanks in advance.

    Jkmet,
    I have noted the same problem, with a USB Pen drive.
    If I leave it plugged in and shut down, the next time I cold boot it tries to boot for the pen drive.  What I found out the any time you add a drive before booting the BIOS places it at the top of the Hard Drive Priority list making it the boot drive.  Same thing happens when I plug in a new SATA and does not mater where it is connected.  So, what I have to do any time you add a drive with the power off you have to boot to BIOS reset the Hard drive priority list, then save, exit and reboot to boot from you windows drive.
    I am sure this is a BIOS Bug, but MSI states that the way it should would work.

    When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings.  It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it. Here is the link to the web site.

  • P35 Platinum unable to boot Acronis 11 after BIOS upgrade to 1.8

    Hello,
    Using P35 MSI Platinum edition, Core Due 2 Extreme edition 2.9Mhz 1067FSB. After upgrading the BIOS to v1.8 the Acronis True Image v11 wont boot I get bank screen. I tried to boot Hirens BootCD v9.3 and I got continues beeps. I tried several way resolve the problem, first I disabled the bios boot sector protection, then I tried to enable AHCI mode but that did not get the Acronis nor Hirens BootCD to work.

    If you are trying to boot from an IDE DVD drive, I guess you have the same problem as THN and me. I have the same "beeps", even with bios v1.1, 1.6 and 1.8. I was lucky to buy the board with a SATA DVD writer, so I can boot from this now. In the end, I think that the criticized JMicron controller that has my 975x PowerUp is better than this Marvell controller (what makes the matter worst, is that this is the ONLY ide controller on the P35...)

  • MSI P67-GD65 Query

    Hi all
    ok this might be a stupid question that im asking here and there maybe a simple quick soloution or maybe something else.
    I just finished building my New system which is great atm but im noticing that the memory that i bought which was rated at 1600mhz is running only at 667mhz atm
    Am i doing something stupidly wrong with settings and need to change the timings on the memory to get them to run at say 1333mhz or sommat like that or is my settings fine and im worried about nothing.
    also a quick question on the control centre software, is it advised to have it installed as i have it installed and its on startup all the time when i dont want it to be.
    ive attached a screenshot of my control centre with timings so if anyone can help with any tips to get the best of my memory then that would be awesome.

    Anytime you run sticks under THEIR rated specs, it is considered underclocking them...or anyway it has been for a few years now, Intel has nothing to do with DRAM specs, JEDEC sets the DRAM standards.
    I stand behind my statement that a 2500K should easily handle 1600/1866 sticks at stock, have built a number of systems with the 2500K and when there was a problem, it was almost always in the BIOS and not tied to any particular brand of mobo, not sure why you wish to slam only the DRAM manufacturers, and in this case GSkill in particular,  because Yes, as a matter of fact I saw this post, they were working directly with ASUS...as they do with Gigabyte, ASRock, Intel, BioStar, ECS, and other mobo manufactures including, MSI.   And it only makes sense when responding to a particular customer that you let them know that you do work directly w/ their mobo maker when issues arise, and that you aren't just blowing them off and ignoring the problems.  A little further reading may have resulted in finding this post at the GSkill forums:

     For MSI P67 series motherboard owners
    Some have reported issues operating performance modules on the MSI P67 motherboards.
    We were finally able to attain working motherboards to test these issues.
    Here is what we discovered:
    For B3 revisions, nothing worked.
    We attempted DDR3-1333 CL7 - DDR3-1600 CL6, CL7, CL8 - DDR3-1866 CL8, CL9 - and all DDR3-2133+ products. None were able to work with stability. Lower performance products such as CL9, should work fine. We are doing our best to assist MSI in any way to quickly resolve this issue. Watch out for BIOS updates on manufacturer website, and check back here as we will provide a follow up.
    For B2 revisions, we had some results. The key was to enable XMP, AND manually configure settings. Usually only one is required, but for this particular issue, the temporary solution is to do both. A BIOS update should be in store as well to solve this problem.
    Here are some pictures to further explain:
    http://www.gskill.com/pdf/MSI P67 Setup.pdf
    Remember, this issue only applies to MSI motherboards. There are no problems with ASUS, Gigabyte, AsRock, or other P67 motherboards. These have been fully tested and approved with our RipJaws X lineup. For example with ASUS P67 motherboards, all you need to do is enable XMP in EFI/BIOS, and ANY RipJaws X memory should work flawlessly. (even DDR3-2000+) For now, we will continue to push MSI for revision.
    Thank you

    Where you say "If a Sandy Bridge sytem will not run a 2X2GB DDR3 1333 with 9 9 9 24" , I fully agree, but I thought we were talking about 1600 sticks here, not a 1333 set.....
