MSI P67A-GD55 bios issue bootloop

Hi, i had 1.18 bios and b3 mb. When i updated it to 4.3 i have bootloop, i have only 1st led. I guess i have to run mb on ivy bridge and update to 4.43 beta to made it wotking ? I need new bios for r9 280x working

No display at all. Its like a PC run for like 0.5-1 seconds with fans starting and its stop and again and again in a loop. Also there are only 1st led on mb.
What bios has to be flash with spi programator if i want r9 280x + i5 2500k with oc ? Official 4.3 is fine or better beta 4.43 or something else ? I was using msi official update from support page, i guess thats why it breaks my mobo. But it all went sucessfull, i guess when i put ivy then its gonna work ?

I suggest that you test with one piece of RAM at a time. It may be a RAM problem.
Do post the code of the BSOD here to let us identify what the exact problem may be.

MSI P67A-GD55 B3 cannot detect Solid State Drive

Hello Everyone!
I bought and installed a MSI P67A-GD55 B3, very happy about it, all perfect, with the exception that it cannot detect the Solid State Drive (OCZ SATA II --> Vertex 2).
The standard Hard disk (SATA II as well) works fine ...
Anyone with the same problem? Any Idea?
Thanks!

Quote from: DonBoy on 19-April-11, 09:20:06
Did you try going to the bios and going to onboard chipset for sata and put in AHCI mode for sat type. This has to be done for the SSD Drive to respond. Hope this helps
Not true, a working SSD will be identified by the BIOS regardless of what mode the SATA controller is set to.

MSI P67A-GD55 (B3), i7-2600k, supports Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB?

Hello there!

P67A-GD55 BIOS Update Fail

I have updated my P67A-GD55 from J0 to 4.10. It was ok and from 4.10 to 4.20. Now, my pc does not work. What I did was;
1. Downloaded bios from the MSI website
2. Put onto a USB drive
3. Flashed the BIOS via the menu in the BIOS
4. PC rebooted and continued to install some things
5. PC now, after reboot only nothing on screen, dvd drive makes a sound then reboots and keeps doing this.
I have tried to clear CMOS by pin...Also tried by removing the battery for at least 10 minutes...And also tried by removing RAMs...No joy at all...Please help me.

Try a full cmos clear, to make sure this occurs:
1.) Unplug the machine
2.) Remove the cmos battery
3.) Hold the power button in for about 10 secs
4.) Short the cmos clear pins
Then try to boot the machine with 1 stick of memory installed.
If you are unable to get the machine to post, you will need to:
1.) Send the board to msi for reflashing. (If it is underwarranty, you would only need to pay for shipping to msi)
>>How to contact MSI.<<
2.) Take the board to a computer shop that has an spi programmer for reflashing. (Cost varies)
3.) Possibly borrow an support ivy cpu (no gaurantee this will work, but free if it does) then flash back to me7 with a file we give you and reinstall your 2500k

MSI P67A-GD55 stock VCIO overvolted !

Hi everyone !
I'm coming here for a little help .
When I let the voltage on "AUTO" in the bios , it set the VCIO voltage to 1.25v which is a little to high
I manually set it to 1.05v like it should be , but I'm afraid of bios error like that O_o
It does this since i updated the bios to the last one (1.J)
I'm using a P67A-GD55 (B3) bought 1 week ago with a nice and shiny core i7 2600k on it ^^
So , should I right an email to MSI support to inform them of the bug or maybe it's a well-known bug and they are working on it (last bios is a bit old ...)
Thanks

Flash back to the previous BIOS version and report your finding to technical. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Please use the forum flasher to flash back. >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

Did I just brick my board? MSI P67A-GD55

So I decided to flash my BIOS to the newest version. I downloaded the newest BIOS and proceeded to flash the BIOS with the MSI utility. After the computer restarted it beeped a couple of times like usual, but it did not continue to windows after that and the screen went black. I saw that the USB stick was being used(light on the USB stick was flashing) so I didn't do anything.
But even after about 45 minutes nothing at happened, the screen was still black. I was reading around online and some people said to clear the CMOS if this happens. After I cleared CMOS and restarted the computer, I got no beeps and no video signal at all. And now nothing happens at all. It does not even beep like usual.
I removed all the ram and restarted the computer and that time I got 3 long beeps. When I put them back in nothing happened like before. So did I brick my board? Is there any way to bring this board back to life? This board was advertised as having a Bios recovery feature(M flash) anyone know how I can use that?
Thanks for your help.
BTW, I am already going to get a new board, but I won't have it until at least the end of this month. Anyone know how long MSI RMAs take? Will they even RMA the board?
Not related, but I was also having a problem with fan control on this motherboard. No matter what the CPU fan would run at max speed.

If you sent it to MSI in the USA, that is odd as they usually turn things around in 7 working days. If it is a re-seller or outside of the USA it is hard to say how long it will take.
In the usa to check for status, email [email protected] Place the RMA# in your subject and ask for an update.
Yeah this is in the US, the place I sent the motherboard to is only like 3 hours from my house actually.
I'll send them a email. Their online tracker doesn't seem to be updated that often and I can't even go to the tracking page right now for some reason.

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.

How many amps does that PSU supply on the 12V rail ?
I shall assume for now it is sufficient.
Only insert one memory stick in the first slot closest to the CPU.
Do a full CMOS clear: >>Clear CMOS Guide<< Remove the CMOS battery as well during the process.
Restart with only the one mem module and check again. Do you have another SATA cable to test with ? Use the one connected to your DVD drive currently and connect that to your HDD. You don't have to connect the DVD drive for now.
How old is that HDD ?
And don't forget to switch off the OC Genie when doing any fault tracing.

MSI p67A G45 memory issue

Link just for kicks:http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-G45--B3-.html
(ram for reference as well:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104239)
So initially when I purchased the board I failed to recognize that my ram's voltage was too high (1.65 V) and rated 1600 rather than the native 1333, 1.5 V
I still have an additional 8 GB of 1600 1.65 v Ram and I'd like to at least put 1 more stick in, which if I understand right, should still be achievable (as I understand the 4th stick is what puts the voltage level too high for the board to handle without entering bios and manually changing voltage/timing/etc of ram)
My current ram is set up in DIMM 1 and 3
xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx
If I were to add 1 more stick, would I then move the dual channel to 1 and 2, and the 3rd stick into DIMM 3?
xxxxxxx
Thanks for the help!

Ok, I just realized xmp was not enabled all this time, but before I go and try to install my second set of dual channel ram (I have 2 sets of 4gb x 2, only one 4gbx2 set in use right now) I want to confirm that everything is a-ok. I just enabled xmp and ran cpuid and it is showing my DRAM Frequency at 798.3 MHZ (which is obviously very close to 1600 when doubled). I'm not a computer whiz by any means, so my guess is that because the memory is dual channel that's why it appears with that frequency in cpu-id but clocked at 1600 in the bios?
Thanks for all your help - appreciate it!.
Everything is working fine now! Feels good to have that memory in the machine running, after sitting around 8 months. The issue must have been that xmp was disabled by default upon installation of the new ram, and this caused problems? Not really sure, in any case it is 100 % working with xmp enabled, and clocked @ 1600 mhz with 1.65 v.
Many thanks to all your help in solving this issue for me.
Hope you all have a great day!

Msi p67a gd65 bios 1.6 dont save

i the bios 1.4 work but if i update the bios whit new release 1.6 when save and exit dont save reset to default
i face cmos but dont save only whit 1.4

Quote from: Svet on 12-January-11, 06:19:39
By USB method you mean you used the ==> >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
or something else?
Hi Svet, yes - I used the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher.. along with all of the instructions given in the guides, including clearing the CMOS afterwards.
When I go back to 1.4, everything works again. I get the save issue in both 1.6 and 1.7b4 - the mouse freezes and the computer just sits there until hard reset.
I want 1.7b4 for the pll overvolt fix.. at the moment I can't get past 4.2 ghz with i7-2600k and a high perf noctua cooler, fairly sure it is not the cpu/temp/volts holding me back.
I also have a very strange issue in the bios is reporting my CPU as running at 20 GHz (which it clearly isn't) - although windows cpuz reports the correct speed. A very similar issue for my DRAM speeds, they are also reported as being something extremely high in the bios but are correct in cpuz.
There is also an issue with turning off spread spectrum in 1.6/1.7 - when I do this, the bios hangs (same way as it hangs when trying to save in 1.6/1.7, mouse freezes and have to hard reset).
In short quite a number of issues here.

MSI H81M-E33 BIOS Issues and Post Flash Issues

Hello,
My situation is as follows: (TL:DR at bottom)
Built a new computer and decided to use the new LGA 1150 refreshed CPUs. Bought the MSI H81M-E33 Motherboard and installed windows. Noticed a problem with the rebooting even when installing windows. Thought it was just because of the windows installation, but problem persisted in which the computer seems to shut down but doesn't power down and i have to manually hold power button to power down and then push it again to start up. No real issues it seems since the computer does close processes and shut down but this was irritating me. I read online that BIOS updates seem to fix this problem. Did some research and decided to update with M-Flash to bios v6.6.
As I used M-flash to update to BIOS (selected "Select one file to update BIOS and ME") v6.6 the update stops at 47% and then the computer attempts to restart. BUT it still has the same problem and does not power down. So I manually powered down and started it back up. I then got "no signal" even as I waited. Now I'm freaking out and I power it down again and try again. This time I wait and it get to BIOS (MSI Screen) and then no signal again (not booting windows). Again I hold power down and power back on. Long wait again and I get back to bios. Still freaked out at this point but relieved I didn't brick motherboard.
Decide to flash v6.5 in case 6.6 was too new and might some problems. However v6.5 has the same problems; bios update stops at 47%, computer attempts to reboot, can't reboot, I power off, power on, no signal, power off, power on, wait a while and it gets to BIOS (MSI Screen), then boots to windows.
Right now the bios does read the bios version as v6.5 but I still have the issues in restarting where that doesn't really work. In addition, I now have this wait from pushing the power button to when I see BIOS (MSI Screen).
TL:DR
Had reboot problems decided to update BIOS
Used M-flash ("Select one file to update BIOS and ME") to update to v6.6
Update stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time nothing, freaked out, powered off, powered on, waited a while got to bios (Whew), checked for new version (it is).
Decided v6.6 might be too new decided to try v6.5 used M-Flash again
Again stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time, nothing, powered off powered on, waited a while got to bios, checked bios for new version (it is), save and exit, no signal, power off, power on, waited a while got to bios, then booted into windows
My concerns are;
I seem to still have reboot issue.
I have to wait for BIOS now, no longer pretty quick start.
My questions are;
Did I mess up the flashing somewhere?
Was stopping at 47% normal?
Should I try to update the BIOS another method to fix my current problems?
Am I missing a step somewhere?
Any help is appreciated, I just got really freaked out by the whole process but I'm just glad the computer still works (kinda).
Thanks in advance for any help, and apologies on the long essay just wanted to be as specific as possible.

MSI 970a G46 - Bios issues

After recently replacing my ssd (had the same on before old one died from physical damage) and psu I cannot install windows 8.
I get to the prepairing devices phase and it stops close to 100% and goes to a black screen. I'm assuming this is the phase where the boards peripheral controllers ect are prepped and something is not finishing.
So I tried to use the live update feature via the utility disc the board came with, it begins checking and fails at the second phase;
"Warning: could not find suitable bios rom"
I thought maybe this was because it has the most current version. I looked up my board on the site, and the only thin I get for a download is the live update 5 program, which is meant to run in the windows enviroment not pre installation.
I downloaded the live update program onto another computer and went through the program files and to no avail....cannot find a bios revision file name or anything in the program.
The bios appears to no be obtainable other than through live update which is failing.....
Anyone here know where I can pull just the bios from to put it on a stick and use the m-flash utility?
Thanks
Nick

I am having the same issue. There is a utility in the bios to update itself but raw bios files are not available with v2.0 and higher(that I can Find). When I boot from my bootable 256MB flash drive (the same drive I use for all bios updates). I get the same error that the OP got "The tool does not support this board". What the hell? I have probably updated hundreds of BIOSs and have never seen such crap(except once with a crappy Foxconn early-UEFI MB). Usually there are multiple methods and I can get 1 to work. If MSI just would make the raw ROM for the BIOS to do it itself.
Their website is also jacked. If I go to the US site for this board, no BIOS updates are listed, I have to go to the www site. There are also versions of the site with 970ag46 in the address but you can get to almost the same site with 970a-g46 (an added dash) but it will have different downloads. I am sick of sites in general having crappy quality control.
BTW I am trying to go from v2.5 to the just listed as being released (5/19/2015) v2.7
Also the link posted by WaltC is no longer valid. Can someone just list these instruction please.

MOVED: MSI 7235 P965 BIOS ISSUES

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=122840.0

Update your BIOS to the latest Version. Download the latest BIOS from this site:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=265
...and then >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< to update.
A newer BIOS should allow you to enter Frequency Values above 333 MHz.
But please be aware that your OC plans may probably not get you where you want to go. As you are using DDR2-667 memory modules, any FSB Clock Speed above 333 MHz will force you to overclock your memory, even with the lowest Memory Frequency value (533 MHz = FSB/Memory Ratio 1:1).
Also, the board is a low-end budget board which is not really intended for overclocking. There is no option to change the CPU Core Voltage. That means that your results will be limited (usually between 320 - 360 MHz FSB Clock Speed, depending on the exemplar of the processor.
In any case, with DDR2-667 memory modules, you do not really have the best conditions to go beyond 333 MHz FSB Clock Speed anyway. But try your luck. If it does not work, you can always try better memory (DDR2-800).
