MSI P67A-GD53 Not POSTing

Hi y'all,
Just bought an MSI P67a-GD53 (B3) Motherboard as part of a new build. The rest of the system is as follows
Intel Core i5 2500k
2 x 2GB Corsair XMS3 1600Mhz RAM
MSI Twin Frozr GTX560Ti
Antec Trupower 650W Modular Power Supply
Crucial RealSSD 64GB
Thermaltake Fri CPU Cooler
The problem I'm having is the system won't POST at all. When I plug in and power up all the fans (CPU,System & GPU) spin up, all the CPU Phase LEDs light up and remain lit but the monitor displays "No Signal" and there are no beeps from the internal speaker. I have tried with both sticks of RAM in the primary slot (the blue one closest to the cpu) and I've tried booting with CPU only, CPU + RAM only, CPU + RAM + GPU only.... all giving me exactly the same problem.
All power cords are correctly connected, I've tried breadboarding the whole thing to ensure there are no short circuits. The only time it does anything different is when i leave the 8-PIN CPU power connector unplugged, in which case only the first CPU phase LED lights up and all the fans spin up for approx 4 secs before powering down, then powering back on again and repeating until I cut the power.
Any bright ideas?

He doesn't have HDMI/DVI on the P67, but, you may be on the right track as far as monitor is involved. Which model monitor is used?
Sorry, read P67, thought Z68.

MSI P67A-GD65 Not Posting, unsure of beep code meaning

Just swapped out my old K9A platinum for a P67A-GD65 and I can't seem to get it to post. I'm getting a beep code of five beeps (long ones maybe? google indicates "process error") but I'm not sure what that means. Pulled the video card, tried my two sticks of ram in slot 1 one at a time, disconnected every device but still getting the same code. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
Edit: Tried clearing the CMOS as well but no luck

MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) Motherboard

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V power supply
MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 graphics card

It seems I'm not the only one having weird issues with this board. I have the exact same board, v1.8 BIOS and Gskill F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD memory.
If I enable the XMP profile for this memory, this system will not post. It does not matter if I raise the DRAM voltage and I/O (memory controller) voltage to their acceptable limits, it does not matter if I manually enter in the timings of the memory specified on the box. XMP = no post.
So after disabling XMP I kept the memory at 1600mhz, which worked fine. I decided to try 1866mhz and a little more voltage. This seemed to work fine...for awhile. This morning my system would not post. I had to clear the CMOS (not use the jumper but literally remove the battery). Ever since then my system will BSOD after a few minutes on startup unless I manually enter in my memory timings (I tried two sticks from different vendors).
I know I don't have bad memory, and the fact is that this board will not post with vendor specified settings.
All I can suggest is to pull the CMOS battery and try one stick of memory.

MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) in boot cycle before POST

OK, so I purchased a new Motherboard, CPU and RAM today to complete my upgrade. Having installed everything, I hit the power button, machine turns on... then off after about 4 seconds, before POST, then on again, then off again, repeat ad nauseum until I unplug or flick the power switch on the PSU.
I took everything apart again, put the MB onto of the box (to rule out the chances of it shorting on the case) and plugged in the power, with just the CPU (and fan) and RAM in place. Same thing happens. Tried taking out the RAM, exact same thing.
Nothing has been done to any part yet, this is all out of box spec:
MSI P67A-GD53 (B3)
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9)

Intel i5 2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155
Obviously I've got graphics card, HDDs etc, but none of those are plugged in, for the purposes of troubleshooting. All that's connected is the above. I've tried booting with no RAM installed, same thing happens. I've got access to an old internal 2 pin speaker, scavenged from a buggered HP work PC to try and get a beep code, but I can't see where I'd connect it on this MB.
Is the MB fluffed out of the box, or could it be something else? Any help would be greatly appreciated

It needs to be connected to the JFP2-Pin Header (check user manual, page 2-14 for pin definitions).
Just to make sure: Have you connected the 4/8 pin +12V CPU power connector to the mainboard (in addition to the 24-Pin ATX connector)?
Also: Have you unplugged your PSU from A/C power and >>Cleared CMOS<< at any point?
Have you inspected the board's CPU socket for bent/broken pins?
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
Yep
Yep
I've eye-balled it but they're pretty small, so it's hard to tell, but it'd be pretty difficult to bend them as the CPU only fits in one way.

MSI P67A-GD53 P67 cannot get sound nor internet

Hey, it's my 1st time with Intel products and windows 7. I installed my mobo drivers tonight, but I cannot seem to get any sound out nor get my internet working... I never had this problem before
Mobo- MSI P67A-GD53 P67 SLI CrossFireX
Do I need to do something different than with AMD products ?!
Thx in advance

Ok, do you see the Realtek HD Audio correctly installed in your Device Manager?
When you plug speakers into MoBo, do you get a auto pop-up dialog from Audio Manager?
If not, you have to click yellow folder (in the upper right corner on the picture below) and to enable that dialog.
Does Realtek Audio Manager see anything connected to your board?
On my picture you can see 5 jacks faded, but one ( green) in which I have speakers connected is in full colour.
When you right-click you mouse on that jack , it has to be dedicated to 'front speaker out'.

MSI P67A-GD53 (B3)

Sorry jack i asked you by email and had no reply so ill ask here.
Im a new member of the MSI forum (just purchased MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) P67 Socket 1155 ). A bit confused as im a complete novice when it comes to overclocking.
I need to ask for advice cos im in the middle of my first ever build: Haf x case,maybe i5 2500k or i7 2600k,8 gig DDR3..unsure whether to go for 2x4 gig or 4x2 gig..help! really unsure about the memory config(Dual channel MB or the full 4 slots)
Which brings me to asking .. if I just purchase DDR3-1333 and i use the genie button on this MB would i still get a stable overclock or should i opt for DDR3-1600?
I was reading up on E-Buyer about the board i purchased and 1 reviewer stated he had an i5 2500k and genied his speed to 4.2 from 3.3 just by pressing The OC genie once.Can this be achieved with DDR3 1333 ram?or should i go for 1600 DDR3 ram?
And would the motherboard automatically recognise the Ram speed or do i need to input anything in the bios?
Any Guidance would be a massive help.
Thanks for your time
Al
(Naps)

what i ment in my first post was 2x4 gig 0r 4x 2 gig..cant remember where i read that post but for some reason iv got in my head that 8 gig spread across all 4 slots is better..im really messed up.lol

MSI p67a-gd53 (b3) Wont boot with ram in slot 1 and 3, or 2 and 4.

Hi i recently built my own system, with just one ram stick in it boots fine and everything.
When i try to put the other stick in slot for so that in runs dual channel it just wont boot, it turns on starts the fans up and then just goes off, and repeats this.
The ram i have is Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit.
It also doesnt work in slots 2 and 4, can anyone help me :(?
My setup is :

MSI ATI Radeon HD 6870 OC HAWK 1024MB
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB
Seagate Barracuda 500gb HD
Gets no beeps on boot with just one stick in, im really confused :s
All Help will be appreciated.

Both ram sticks worked in slot one and it would boot but I tried running a game and it froze each occasion, cud this be due to the ram being dual channel and only having one in? Or that the ram has the wrong settings.
I have returned the motherboard along with the ram to the shop i got it from for tests to see if the dimm slots had problems. Il let you guys know what they say.
Thanks for the advice, when I get it back il build it again and see if it runs fine, if not il try the things youve said.
Can anyone else shed any light on this? Any other things I may have to try?
Thx again

MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) Bios failure?

Hello everyone,
I am in a bit of trouble, and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'd like to say that I've only flashed mobos a few times in the past but never had any problems until now so I'm kinda unsure with what to do.
I was getting some BSOD now and then while playing games and decided to update the BIOS etc to see if that would help fix it. Well, I flashed from the 1.A bios (2011-03-30) to the latest one from the BIOS menu. It got to about 98% then restarted and now it just BSOD's over and over, I'm lucky if I can get into Windows, the BSOD's are usually all sorts of different things. I have tried flashing back to the previous BIOS but no difference - I really hope I haven't killed the board. I've tried clearing the CMOS - made no difference. Tried to boot from optical to reinstall Windows but it crashes before I can even get into setup . . . any ideas?

That does not sound "really good" to be honest...
Test a regular hard drive. Do you get BSODs with that, too?

MSI P67A-GD53 - Win 7 x64 PC Cannot Restart when OC Genie turned on

Hi,
My PC will not reboot from Windows when OC Genie is active on my recently built PC.
The PC will power down, but does not restart again. I have to hold down the power switch to turn of the machine completely and then turn the PC back on manually.
When OC Genie is off, the issue is not present, the PC can restart from Windows as normal.
I'd like to be able to use OC Genie, but this issue makes it too much of a pain. I've read in to ACPI a bit, but it's not obvious to me how OC Genie might interfere with this.
Can I resolve this issue somehow?

MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) - BSOD if 2 sticks of DRAM used in dual mode

Hi there,
I have an issue with BSOD when using 2 sticks of DRAM when the machine is overclocked or the DRAM is set to 1333MHZ and above.
Initially I got the system up and running and over clocked using the OC Genie button on the mother board over clocking to 4.3GHZ which ran great but after a day or 2 I got
BSOD. Initially I thought this was due to an SSD failure so I brought another OCZ AGILITY 3 SSD and reinstalled windows 7 and again after a few days I got BSOD.
This time however I ran memtest at bootup and saw errors appearing. I tested each DRAM stick separately and they were error free after running memtest on each for a good few hours.
When I put both RAM sticks back in dual mode the errors appeared again. I turned off OC genie and ran the same testes on the RAM with the same results.
Now in the bios I noticed that the DRAM was set to run at 1333MHZ so I changed this to 1600MHZ (the speed on the label on the DRAM itself) and ran memtest once more which through up loads of errors. So then I changed it to 1066MHZ, ran memtest and bingo! no errors!
So now I have my machine running nicely unclocked with the DRAM running at 1066MHZ.
Thing is I want to be able to overclock my machine and discover what is causing this DRAM failure.
It would appear that there is no issue with the hardware as it all works at slower speeds.
What could be causing the BSOD when the machine is overclocked or when the DRAM is running at more than 1066MHZ?
many thanks

You do that. For the P67 boards, the earmarked slots for 2 memory modules are 1 and 3.
The applied memory voltage may be a tad too low. You can up that to 1,575 manually.
The BIOS version is the latest for Sandy Bridge processors.
Insert only one memory module in the first slot closest to the CPU. Then do a full CMOS clear with power cord removed, and retest your system again with only the one module.
If the tests are good, then add the second module.

Hello,
I have a MSI P67A-GD53-B3 Motherboard LGA1155 Intel P67 ATX RAID.
My CPU heatsink (Corsair H50 - requires pump control and fan control headers) fan has a four pin header (incl control). I cannot find on the board this 4 pin header for the CPU heatsink fan. Am I missing something?

Here is the issue I did the minum connections before putting the computer in the case to make sure it would POST, but it doesn't. The motherboard speaker doesn't make a sound but the 8 led lights on top of the MOBO are all lit. I cant get any response from my monitor when its hooked up to my video card. the fan from the PSU and video cards are spinning but again no POST can anyone help Me with this thank you., also I used a second power supply and still no POST or response from the monitor but again all the fans are working and all 8 of the led lights are lit at the top of the MOBO. once again thanks for your help.

Good evening!
All parts are new?
Use a single stick of memory.
Recheck all power connections are well in place, and don't forget the one near and for the processor.
Don't think that is the problem, but for good measure you should also reseat the graphics card.
I'm not sure whether this mobo has a speaker.

MSI GeForce 210 not post in Sapphire A9RX480 mobo?!

This is a bit nuts. The MSI card is GeForce 210-MD512H:
http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N210-MD512H.html#?div=Specification%22
...witch is basicaly fanless budget MSI GeForce 210 with 589/1024MHz clocks and 512MB DDR2 ram. All in all a budget card to do the work required and that it is. I never expect playing Crysis on it... maybe SoF2... lol!
However I wanted to use it in my Sapphire "Grouper" A9RX480 mobo (that is ATI chipset RX480-450 for SB) and it refuse to post. When I plug there my old good PNY GeForce 7800, then (even w/o the external power cable connected - DOS only, true) everything seems working out nicely!
Now that is a bit insane. Any suggested bios settings to make the card work? The mobo is fine, memtest passed all tests and never had a problem with it...
Yes, it is claimed to be 16x PCIEx speed... shall I try 8x? Or what should I do? The card is also tested in another computer and it is working nicely there...!

Oooops, I'm sorry. When way more powerfull and way more PSU demanding 7800 GTX works fine, then I never even mind that any other information is necessary, but whatever. Here we go:
Board: Sapphire A9RX480 "Grouper"
Bios: oldest and even latest official version available tried, even moded version: http://ax2.old-cans.com/grouper - still same problem!
VGA: MSI GeForce 210-MD512H ( http://www.msi.com/product/vga/N210-MD512H.html#?div=Specification )
PSU: Enermax 620W Liberty
CPU: Opteron 148
MEM: Mushkin Enhanced DDR400 PC3200 (can do 2-2-2-5 :D - memtest fine)
HDD: none
COOLER: Zalman CNPS 9500 Led
OC: none
OS: none
It is just a mainboard, PSU and floppy sitting on chair near monitor (Eizo F35 Flexscan) for testing... Nothing else.
Tried 8x settings in the PCIE Bus Width, no difference :(
Some BIOS settings are really interesting - how about these?
LTD Configuration - Enabled
Upstream LTD Bus Width - 16bit
Downstream LTD Bus Width - 16bit
LTD Bus Frequency - Auto (1GHz, 800MHz, 600MHz, 400MHz, 200MHz)
(I know, this have more to do with the CPU memory controler that GFX card, but who knows?)
PCIE GFX Core Payload Size - 64Bytes (32Bytes, 16Bytes)
PCIE GPP Core Payload Size - 64Bytes (32Bytes, 16Bytes)
NB-SB Port Configuration - Default (Enhanced)
PCI-E GFX Link Width - x16 (x12, x8, x4, x2, x1)
Assign IRQ For VGA - Enabled (Disabled)
...any suggestions? Tried 32Bytes (for the PCIE GFX Core Payload Size|PCIE GPP Core Payload Size settings), but no change. Eg. NO POST with this MSI card...
Additional info about the card: it is MSI GeForce 210-MD512H, on the PCB is near the heatsink and PCIE connector:
"V201" "VER: 1.1" and "Product of China" and near the "no trash" symbol is "D33008"
From the bottom side, there is a big letters "N1996" after a "Nike" checkmark and at the end of the PCB, some probably manufacture info:
APCB M3 94V-0
RU 0942 E230435
E129N4774BB
Bought the card from friend, who replaced it with faster one. Tried with another computer, where it worked just fine (IIRC Gigabyte mainboard, but not sure about it) ...
Is there any bios fix for this card that help me out?

MSI 7512 Will not POST/BOOT

After moving I installed my system and found out it wouldn't POST/Boot. I disconnected all but hard drive, 1set of memory, and video. Still nothing...
The set of LED's (four to the left) show read. I remember seeing green prior to moving.
Any suggestions?

Henry et al:
The CPU is a Intel sockect 775 2.6ghz quad core. Does this help with your "NEARLY WORTHLESS INFORMATION" comment. Would you be eluding to how the FSB of the proc could hinder the ability for "power up". Additionally, since I can't find a instruction manual on the MSI website/Internet I haven't been able to confirm this. In all this discussion thread, I have been attempting to narrow down the part that may not be allowing for computer to as stated in the previous sentence "power up". Hoping that the relatively new Motherboard (little over a year) is not Bad.
As I stated from yesterdays post, the CPU is new (bought yesterday). The memory sticks are kingston 1 gig DDR2 x4 (Worked prior to problem). I have installed the memory in the four possible combinations and still not powering up. In all the problems, I have extra parts for everything besides the CPU and motherboard. After replacing the CPU yesterday I am left with the motherboard.
At this point I am having a hard time seeing how the little details of each piece of hardware is going to affect the "power up" of these parts.
My understanding is that you need a minimum of the follow to power up.
1. PSU
2. Motherboard
3. CPU
4. Memory
From there I can systimatically bring another piece of the computer in (troublshooting) to the mix.
Am I missing something? While I am not an expert to these field I can understand the basic functionality that should happen here.

MOVED: MSI P67A-GD53 P67 cannot get sound nor internet

This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=148574.0

Ok, do you see the Realtek HD Audio correctly installed in your Device Manager?
When you plug speakers into MoBo, do you get a auto pop-up dialog from Audio Manager?
If not, you have to click yellow folder (in the upper right corner on the picture below) and to enable that dialog.
Does Realtek Audio Manager see anything connected to your board?
On my picture you can see 5 jacks faded, but one ( green) in which I have speakers connected is in full colour.
When you right-click you mouse on that jack , it has to be dedicated to 'front speaker out'.

MSI K8Tneo Will Not Post

Hi, before I RMA my board and cpu..I thought I'd do some research and hope that someone else may be able to resolve my problem.
I just recieved the K8tneo today.. Put it all together and basically it wont post. The 4 LED's in the back stay lit red. The PC powers up, fans work yada yada.
Here is the hardware Im using
Antec 400w PS
512meg Samsung DDR333 PC2700
Radeon 9600 pro
LSI SCSI controller Ultra 320
Seagate Cheetah SCSI
yamaha 24x CDR/W
(no IDE hard drives other than my CD players)
Ive tried removing everything including the ram to see if I could get a different message from the LED's with no luck. According to the manual, 4 red LEDs mean theres a faulty CPU or improperly seated. I removed the CPU and checked it out. Everything looked fine.. no smell of burnt silicon no signs of burning..the cpu was seated so well on my heatsink I had to pry it off with a fricken butter knife! Odd thing is when I removed the heatsink the cpu came with it.. almost like it wasnt seated at all (locked down) but it was because I did it.
so, Im looking at a possible damaged cpu and a damaged motherboard now? All I know now is when I turn on the PC I get power to everything, disks spin up..computer actually beeps..and thats all. And I know all my hardware works minus the cpu and mobo because im using it this moment to write this post. I just cant get the damn thing to post.
No metal to case contact..nothing squirly going on..no smell of anything burnt..cpu is an athlon 64 3200+
so what would you do? Ive read mentions that the ram could cause it not to post, but wouldnt the LED's at least show that it was past the CPU check? To my knowledge posting goes from CPU to Ram..always cpu check first.
thanks..

Quoted from page 2-12 of the manual
"ATX 12V Power Connector: JPW1. This 12v power connector is used to provide power to the CPU"
okay. this makes sense considering the message im getting from the D-LED says my cpu is either not seated properly ..or damaged.
thanks
gonna pick up the PS instead tomorrow (if I can) and hold out on the ram until I know for sure.
I just realized my video boards fan went out so I may end up having to replace that as well which is why I need to hold out on the ram.
Thanks bud.. I hope this works.
