MSI P67A-G45 (MS-7673) Blue screen problems

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums so pardon me if I'm doing this wrong or I'm in the wrong section.
I recently bought the P67A-G45 board in mid January. Mainly, I wasn't having any problems, a few hiccups here and there which I solved by updating Bios/Chipset. However, recently (past two-three weeks) I've been having troubles with Blue Screens. These can occur anytime, sometimes while gaming, other times just browsing the web. I have a few shots of the screens (bad quality, sorry):

As well as BSOD error like (no pic, sorry)
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Is this the Mobo? I've searched around, the error of IRQL... I'm told can be nearly anything...
I'm starting to get slightly frustrated, so I'm hoping you guys can help.

Let me know if I can provide anymore information. I'll do my best to try and help.
Thanks.

Connection Interface... I'm not sure what that is either.
Is it an IDE or SATA drive, you can check in devicemanager.

Edit: It could be the hard drive. Everything on this PC is nearly new (within 5 months) albeit the Hard drive. Is there anyway to see if thats what is actually causing the blue screens?
Download HDtune and let it check the disk, if it bluescreens whilst checking, it is probably your drive, but, more importantly, its to see if there are damaged sectors and thus see the status of you HDD. If the disk is damaged, best to back up all important data and get a new HDD.
To read the minidump from the bluescreen, I use Bluescreenview, its free.
The stop code from the minidump can then be used to look up what it is, on Microsoft.com or Google.

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) Two DIM slots problem.

Hi, I just bought all my parts for my new computer. Everything is working fine, except that I have some problem with two of my DIM slots. When I insert my RAM into the slots on the right side (near CD-ROM) the PC reboots each 3 second. Do you know what may cause the problem? Is it the slot problem or something with the BIOS settings?
CPU: Intel i5 2500k 3.30 GHz
Mobo: MSI P67A-G45 (B3)
RAM: Corsair 2x2Gb 1333Mhz
PSU: XFX Pro 650W
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 6950
Kind Regards.

But I can normally boot into the Windows, if it would be the CPU problem then I guess the pc wont boot. I will check it just to make sure and I will post the result.
It has been seen here on the forum a number of times that the system will run with bent or broken CPU socket pins. As suggested, if not done so yet, remove the CPU & inspect the CPU socket for bent pins.

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) - Problems with USB3 & Updates & card reader, etc.

Hi, I have the MSI P67A-G45 (B3) motherboard and I'm still having problems with it (as from day one).
1) I still seem to have some problems with stability with the USB. I updated the drivers for the Renesas USB to the latest (2.1.39.0) from the station-drivers website,
I was thinking of grabbing the firmware update as well. But I wasn't sure if I should. The page also shows firmware updates for uPD720200 & uPD720200a, and I'm not sure which one is in my motherboard. Should I update? If so, which one is in my MB, uPD720200 or uPD720200a?
2) I'm also having trouble updating the Intel ME Driver and the Intel INF Update (although I'm googled that the INF update doesn't really matter).
3) I can't seem to get the firewire port working with my WD Home 2TB external HDD (it works through USB though).
4) I have an old internal flash card (SDHC/MS/MMC/etc.) reader from another desktop that I wanted to add to my MSI one. Is it possible to do so? Where would I plug it in?
5) Is there anything else I need to update: software or firmware? I've generally updated the stuff listed in the Live Update (except for the stuff I never installed).
Thanks. Please answer any of the questions if you can.

Update the firmware and re-test:
>>Firmware and BIOSes<<
Scroll to the bottom of the page at that link and flash the USB controller firmware.
Thanks, Renesas update seems to have taken. Let's hope it's more stable.
I have a Core i5-2500k Sandybridge processor. Is there a point to me updating the BIOS & Management Engine to the latest? The support page for my MB says don't bother unless I have an Ivybridge processor?

What PC is the card reader from? Some of those card readers such as from Sony & Dell will only work in the respective brand PCs they came from and not any other. I have one I removed from a Sony and it will not work in my rig. If the card reader is a normal 3rd party model purchased from a store it should work but may require drivers from the manufacturer of it. As far as plugging in a card reader they go to an internal USB header on the MB.
The old desktop was from computer maker Cisnet.
I plugged the 5-hole (or rather 4 holes, since one is blank) plug into JUSB1, but it seems to keep connecting and disconnecting in Windows 7 x64. Windows made drives for all 4 card slots, but whenever I put a memory card in, it would just connect and disconnect and the memory card would never show up. Is it a driver problem?
It's a Foxconn internal card reader, except I can't seem to figure out which model it is despite googling (not indicated anywhere on the card reader).
Don't really want to cough up $15-$20 for a new card reader, so I'm hoping to get this one to work. Thanks.

What to do with bricked motherboard? MSI P67A-G45 AFTER FLASHING LAST BIOS

I flashed MSI P67A-G45 by the last BIOS for IB CPU. The flashing goes twice with intermediate reset. Before I flashed P67A-C43 by the same version from MSI, and all was Ok.
I flashed new BIOS from version 1I under DOS mode. There was a problem with pen drive and I used hard disk without USB pen drive. That was my error. The exe file started and flashed BIOS normally and then after reset started flashing Intel ME firmware. I thought all is going ok and the image is taken from HDD. But after the process finished and motherboard reset, it didn't start at all. The fan starts and stops, LED blinks and motherboard behaves the same way even without CPU. What can I do? Is there any way, suppose, using a EEPROM writer? I have one and I can take the BIOS chip off and flash by old version of BIOS. What can You advise? Maybe the second flash process writes another chip - can You tell me about it. Please advise how to manage this problem.
I received no help from support. I'm not a novice - I work in repair center and have soldering station etc. Can You explain me anything about second flashing process? I need only information and I will be able to manage th :lol_anim:is problem.

Why did you flash the C43 BIOS on the G45 mainboard?

Running Windows 7 64 bit Professional
Problem: Within days of building computer in January the computer started to automatically reboot seconds after shutdown or entering sleep mode.
Attempted Fixes:
-Total re-install of Windows + BIOS
-Updated BIOS via LiveUpdate
-Rolled back to initial BIOS that came with MB
-Changed between registry option of "PowerdownAfterShutdown" between "0" and "1"
-Disabled Wake-Up Events in BIOS
-Changed to OS controlled Wake-Up events
-Changed "Restore after AC Power Loss" to off in BIOS
-Ordered a new PSU, replaced PSU
Regardless the fix, if I try to shutdown - the computer reboots within a few seconds. If I try to put it in sleep mode, it boots right back up. The only way to get the computer to shut off is by manually turning off the PSU.
I've seen that there have been frequent power-cycle issues with this particular motherboard in comments on newegg.com, just wondering if this issue has been encountered and if there is a fix available?

Quote from: Bernhard on 17-February-12, 00:10:35
Is this with no case wire connections to any of the headers? i.e. if you start it by shorting the on/off pin headers with a screwdriver tip.
Yeah, as shown here.
http://www.computer-how-to-guide.com/motherboard-troubleshooting/motherboard-post-test-how-to/
Shorted on with flathead, boots up fine. After flipping off the PSU to turn it off and then flipping the PSU back on, the dang thing waits a few seconds and boots right back up. No short required. At this point I think a ghost might be living in my computer.

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) issues

Hey everyone I apologize in advance if this is long an rambling, but lack of sleep sucks .
Need a lil help before I get to drastic and decide to end my PC's life. Up till around 12:00 pm est yesterday my PC was working great, then my new Corsair H80i came in and I decided to do some very late spring cleaning(disassembled and dusted entire thing with canned air.), then cleaned off the old tg from the cpu re-seated and started installing the rest of the components. When it powered the problem occurred. It didn't come on an go off in a loop as I have read in other post, it came on an stayed on but the issue is I'm not seeing any indication of activity on the HDD (it is powered up) nor is there a video signal. It has the cpu power phase led's on the board and only one of those is coming on instead of all four. From reading the manual there wasn't much indication on what one light meant. Another quirk i noticed is that when it powered on my keyboard's led come on an quickly go back off an stay off till I turned the pc off an then back on. I did try the following:
Removed an powered on using one stick of mem, then tried with no mem installed. Still one cpu phase light both times.
Powered on with out HDD, still one light.
Removed all components including mobo from case and checked stand-off mounts..looks fine.
Performed a CMOS reset, still one light.
Pulled the vid card, again the same.
At this point I'm running out of patience. I know I probably haven't tried everything, but I'm at a loss for what to do next. I just wish there was better clarification on those cpu power phase led's in the manual. As i said before it only lights up one and that's it and there is nothing I can find that explains what that means, if it means anything and don't forget there is no vid signal so I have no clue to what if anything is going on during POST.

Quote from: Bernhard on 12-July-14, 19:27:02
Do you now have the MB out of the case? i.e. did you test it outside the case placing it on a non conducting surface?
Did you ensure all your power cables are properly plugged back in. i.e. the 24pin and also the CPU power plug.
You mounted a new cooler, did you ensure that you didn't put undue pressure on the CPU thereby bending some CPU socket pins?
Did you recheck the RAM slots for any lodged foreign matter?
Did you check your power cables feeding the HDD?
Can you test with another PSU?
Did you do CMOS clear with battery removed?
I did not try it out of the case. I will definitely give that a shot.
I double checked all my power cables
The cooler used thumb screws and I just hand tightened them. I will check again to see if anything happened to the pins, couldn't hurt.
I didn't notice anything in the RAM slots but again I should double check.
The power cable feeding to the HDD are seated snugly and I did pull an re-seat to make sure.
I sure wish i had a spare PSU. Guess i learned my lesson to have a back-up on hand just in case.
I did not clear the CMOS with the battery out, instead I used the button that was located on the back panel.
I appreciate the recommendations and will try out the ones that i can do. As far as the PSU I'll have to make some calls but that sounds like a good idea to try. It may be awhile till I can try anything, but as soon as I do and see any results I will let you know. Thank you for the feedback.

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) boot/loop

Hi, just got all components for my pc and i installed everything. My problem is wheni press the power switch, everything starts fine and the fans spin up and the LED's on the board are fine but after 4-5sec it shuts itself off and tries the exact same process again. To troubleshoot i removed RAM, Video card, HD... just have CPU, cpu fan but still getting same issue..
Here is the list of the components i have..

Sapphire Radeon Xtreme HD 5830 800MHZ 1GB 4GHZ GDDR5 PCI-E DVI HDMI Mini DisplayPort Video Card
here is a video i found... its similar to my problem

Straight power loop? Can't even get to BIOS? if so could try resetting the CMOS, also try a different DIMM and/or GPU (even keyboard, had a couple post where the power loop ceased after unplugging the keyboard) and possibly best try a different higher powered PSU...if you can get into BIOS raising the vCore can help eliminate the loop problem, but still indicates something is wrong if it takes to much vCore for successful boot, with a 2500k should be able to boot and run stock at 1.19-1.21 for 3.3GHz

Help needed, new pc stopped booting properly after 2 days msi p67a-g45

Hi I need help quick, I recently built a new pc and all was going well sofar but now it wont boot up properly, it keeps resetting before the boot post tests and the times it does go through to the tests the internal speaker does 2 beeps, waits a second, 2 more beeps, waits a second, 3 quick beeps and then finally after another second 1 final loud beep. Also when I'm running my memory test (doing atm, I think it crashed though) the lights on my keyboard are continusly flickering.
Any help would be greatful

crucial m4 64gb ssd

Ok I just tried messing around with the computer it seems that the 2 sets of 3 quick beeps are for the number of usb devices Ive got attached to the computer, their is still 2 normal beeps before the 1 loud beep so I'm not sure what they mean as I tried replacing all the parts and it seems to do the same beeps.
Quote from: Bernhard on 11-May-11, 11:12:09
Have you tried with only one memory module on the board ?
yep just tried that, they both seem to pass seperatly and together as they make no changes to the number of beeps, the ram should of also been 100% tested by mushkin in the factory so I dont think they may be the problem
Quote from: Bernhard on 11-May-11, 11:12:09
What is a few years, and under what usage pattern and load ? PSUs don't last forever. Suggest you also test with a known good PSU of similar output to determine if there is a potential PSU problem.
Ive had the psu for around 2 years and it coped with me setting the computer to run on a full load test with 3dmarks and prime95 for a few hours along with me having a normal gaming session on it. I cant test the computer with any other psu's atm as I got none spair to use.
Hopefully it was just the cmos being corrupted as resetting that seems to have fixed it, but it annoying not knowing what them 2 beeps are before the loud beep (which I guess is the all ok beep) is though.

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) SLI issue.

My friend recently purchased a second GTX 460 SE to use in SLI. I installed it in his computer today and could not get SLI to function. Operating system is windows 7. I flashed the bios with the latest version as well as installed the latest drivers for the motherboard. Tried reseating the graphics cards and the SLI bridge multiple times. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Nvidia drivers multiple times, each time using driver sweeper after the uninstall. I have read that this board does support SLI if you have all the drivers updated. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: Forgot to add that both the cards do work. I can switch the monitor between them and they work fine. The nvidia control pannel and device manager show 2 cards but not in SLI.

Hello,
SpeedFan shows 3 temperatures - Temp1, Temp2 and Temp3 (no specific labels).
Temp1 matches to CPU temperature from MSI Control Center and Temp3 matches to System temperature. They are OK.
But does anybody know what can be Temp2? Chipset?
The problem is that this temperature is really high: 125 deg C after 30 minutes of playing Crysis. It doesn’t look good to me...
Thanks for any help!

Hello folks, I just replaced an MSI P43-C51 LGA 775 Intel P43 ATX Intel Motherboard, with an MSI P67A-G45 (B3) and an I5 2500k, running everything at default settings, the p-43 board gave me good service but one day, I turn the computer on and it didn't do anything, since LGA 775 boards are getting hard to find I went ahead and got the P-67, the issue I have is the same high temperature on TMPIN02, before I took the heatsink off the temp was getting up to 203c I couldn't believe the board didn't fail at that time, I went ahead and remove all 3 heatsinks (the ones around the CPU socket also) and inspected for thermal grease, well I noticed that it looked like chewing gum and that it was solidified and that there was very little coverage on the actual chip. I went ahead and cleaned the old stuff and used Arctic Cooling paste I keep in my tool bag, put it all together and fire it up the NB temp drop to (idle) 50c which is a lot better under load it goes up to 65-70c I have moved the video card to the second pci-e slot to see if more air will flow in the NB area but then 3 of the 4 SATA connectors are covered up by it, I also adjusted the rmps of the front fan (200mm) but is not making a big difference, so I'm really happier with the results but not entirely happy, my brother is going on his 3rd motherboard (MSI) first one would not boot, second one no video output to monitor I'm not sure if I want to consider MSI products in the near future. I have been a loyal MSI customer for many years. I would appreciated any comments to this post I know is a little old.

IMac G5 Graphic Card Replacement for blue screen problem

When I turn on iMac, I only see blue screen, the apple technician said Need to replace graphic card, Nvidia Gforce 7600GT 256.
1, can it install in IMac? Seem like it work for PC?
2, I had blue screen problem several time, I think I turn on iMac too long, so it burn out graphic card.
3, I have 2007 G5 24" screen model, is any durable and afford graphic card you recommend?
Where to buy for cheaper price?
Do I need to change mother board?
4, can I replace it by myself? Any picture or video for graphic card replacement?
Thank you.

If you look around, you might be able to find someone who will replace just the chip on the graphics card, which is what usually fails. It will take someone highly skilled; they really have to know what they're doing--it's not an ordinary soldering job.
Here's someone who found a non-Apple service to do this, and it proved to be far less expensive than a full logic board replacement. But I think this was in the UK.

What memory is 100% compatible with MSI P67A-G45?

I have some g.skill memory and there are issues using it with my MSI P67A-G45 as I cant adjust dram voltage. I know some of you have this board so what memory is working perfect and allows dram voltage and all others settings to be fully adjusted?

Quote
and do you really think 512mb and 1gb modules were tested on this P67 board?
Just posted a link to the modules list, nothing more. Made no recommendations & made no other assumptions. Selections & decisions are yours & yours alone.
Here is a suggestion however. Never a blanket guarantee, but I have yet to have the Corsair GT series fail to properly default or not work on any board I have tested. Whatever you purchase, make sure it properly defaults to the platforms IMC specs for DDR3 1333, 9 9 9 xx @ 1.50v's + or - 0.075v's. Plain stick, fancy heatspreaders doesn't matter. Compatible SPD profile programming does matter.

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) wiring questions

Does anyone else have the MSI P67A-G45 (B3) board out there that can explain how to hook up the front panel power and light switched? I'm seeing two different diagrams in the manuals.
Also, can I use a 4, 6 or 8 pin connection in the jpwr2 power slot?
I want this baby to power on when I first fire it up eventually.
Thanks

There are two diagrams because there are two different pin headers (JFP1 & JFP2). Use JFP1.
Quote
Also, can I use a 4, 6 or 8 pin connection in the jpwr2 power slot?
No. Either a 4-Pin or an 8-Pin (or 2x4-Pin combined) plug that is a dedicated +12V CPU(!) power connector. Do not plug a 6-Pin or a 6+2-Pin PCI-E (video card) power connector into the CPU Power Socket.

Make sure you test it outside the case on a non-conducting surface before you put anything into a computer case.

MSI P67A-G45 B3 Bios problems

Hi!
okey, i think i have up badly. I had problems whit some dots om my right screen and someone told me that a bios uppdate could solve it, so yes i treid, whit help, and i got the update, it works great, but the problem is, he who helpt me (who works whit fixing computers and know a lot more then me) didn't know what ME8 and ME7 stands for, so we installed the latest bios that natrualy is a ME8 version, but my CPU is way to old and when i try to start windows i get the lovely blue screen, so no way for me to get in to windows.
so, i try to download a older bios version on the other pc, put it on a USB key and use the m-flash built in to the bios, then i get a new problem, it wont find the file.
it's flat 32, i put the file in the root but still nothing. i even took out all HDD's and disc drives.
so i kinda wounder, is there any other way then buy a new CPU or motherboard to solve this?
sorry for my bad english btw

Quote from: stibe747 on 31-March-13, 17:54:43
i must say i don´t know, i don't even know what any ot i means :(
but i think the problem is that the bios is for ivy bridge CPU (ME8) and mine is not
but my windows was installed from a clean SSD drive, no upgraded version or anything like that. and it's windows 7 home premium.
but as it is now, i can even get in to windows, blue screen is all i get
Don't worry about bios version.
Plug in your PC and Enter the bios (F2 or SUPPR key) and set parameter "Integrated peripherals" in AHCI.
Save and reboot.
Try this and tell us the result.

MSI 770-C45 locking up/blue screening/other errors on boot

I recently built a new HTPC and have been having allot of problems getting it to boot. It may take 10-15min of trying to boot up over and over with random blue screens, lockups, or errors that the C drive needs to be checked for consistency before Windows will finally load up and work. At first I thought it was a bad drive, but according to Western Digital’s HDD Diag util, both the controller and the drives surface checks out OK. I just wiped the drive out and reinstalled Windows 7 again, and this time went with IDE instead of AHCI, hoping it was a driver issue. It only worked well for a day before the same problems started rearing their ugly head again.
At this point I don’t know if I have a memory issue, a CMOS setting wrong (which are All Auto), or what. I hoping someone here might have an idea of what this problem could be.

According to MSI, my motherboard supports the following modules:
DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600*(OC)
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=656&prod_no=1812
This are the speeds of the DDR 3 RAM supported ,1600Mhz beeing done with overclocking ,because the CPU memory controller is no able to do 1600 by default.

When I look at the test results for my Motherboard:
http://www.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1812.pdf
I see 1333 RAM list like PC11000 DDR III RAM (DDR-1333). However, If I go to a site like Bestbuy or NewEgg and search for DDR3 1333, it shows results like Corsair - 2-Pack 2GB PC3-10666 DDR3 DIMM Memory Kit. I see PC3-10666 and PC3-10600, but nothing for PC11000.
The only mention of 1333 modules on the test report is for 1333 OC
When you see the PC 11000 DDR3 or PC3 10666 specifications they are refering to the theoretical bandwidth ,it s related to the frequency of course ,but it s something else it s a data rate.Its wikipedia but it s good enough -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DDR_3 Some specs are atipical like 10666 ,marketing thngyes
Search the internet for memory that works ok with your CPU ,look for "real" DDR 3 1066Mhz or DDR 3 1333Mhz."real" means that that memory should be able to run at those frequencies without voltage increase over the default one.Usually when a memory vendor says you need to increase voltage for a specific frequency it means that you overclock and that there is no warranty they will work in your configuration.
So you need DDR 3 1066Mhz or DDR 3 1333Mhz ,it needs to be AMD tested memory and it needs to be a known to work RAM on MSI motherboards timings wise.Look up on newegg and see what works.
The performance gaps between 1066 and 1333 are small in real practice and you can overcome some loss by using a "real" DDR 3 1066Mhz , tweaking different timings ,using Command Rate of 1T for example ( you may "feel" it smoother in desktop than a 1333Mhz at 2T).
