MSI P67AGD55 B3; Won't post

Hello everyone!
I just bought a new system for a friend, and I can't get it to post for some reason. I have built multiple systems before. Here's the system
MB; MSI P67AGD55 B3
CPU; Intel Core i3 3220
Ram; Crucialr 2x4GB Ballistix 12800
PSU; Antex Earethwatts 650W
GPU; AMD 6770
etc etc
Basically system won't post and I went through and tried 1 stick of ram, a different stick of ram in the main slot, no ram, no GPU, no HD etc attached.
When the computer starts it does 4 (i think1 long 3 short?) beeps, reboots, repeat.
Something makes me think it's bad ram but I'm not sure.

Which BIOS is currently on that board ? Check the little green sticker on the BIOS chip and post that.
I suspect that the board still has the initial BIOS versions for Sandy support.
You have added an Ivy CPU and for that you need the new IVY BIOS support series.
To flash the board, you will have to get a supported CPU first, either family or friends or a helpful PC shop.
My personal choice with that CPU would have been a 7 series board in the same price bracket.

    2 weeks ago PC would do nothing at all after I turned off and then tried to restart.  Thought I had bad power supply, but it checked out. Cleared cmos  by removing battery and turned off oc genie and that seemed to cure problem.
    Left PC on ever since.  Had to turn off yesterday to check unrelated network issue and when I tried to restart It won't post.   Just get 3 beeps.  No video.  Nothing.  Tried to clear cmos, switch memory sticks, only use one mem stick in slot 1 and I get nothing but 3 beeps.  Very unlikely that both sticks are bad.  Tried powering on from internal switch and got nothing but 3 beeps.  Beeps are less than 1 second in duration so I guess they are short beeps.   
    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
     If I have to RMA to MSI how long does it take to get replacement?  What do I have to send to MSI, all contents of retail box or just the board?

    I am ready to toss this board and buy another unless I can get this working.
    At the moment there is know certainty about the definate cause for your problem.  What makes you so sure that the board is the cause (and not your CPU (which hosts the memory controller, after all), faulty RAM sticks (have you tested every single stick of RAM you have in the first slot (check user manual) and cleared CMOS (with A/C power cable unplugged from PSU before each new start-up attempt)?).
    A contact problem between CPU Pads and board socket pins could also cause this (please reseat CPU and heatsink).  Another possible cause is a short-circuit problem inside the case (test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface).

  • MSI 770 C45 won't post.

    Hello,I just bought and built my new PC but it won't boot, the fans and the LED on the motherboard will turn on but nothing else happens, no beeping noise and the display gets no signal and the reset and power buttons nor the LEDs won't work. And when I plug my 4 pin connector to the motherboard it won't start at all.
    My PC:
    Amd Phenom II x4 955 3.2 gh
    MSI 770 c45
    Kingston ValueRAM 2GB DDR3 1333MHz CL9 Dual Channel Kit
    HIS Radeon HD4850
    Samsung 500GB SATA-II 7200 rpm 16MB SpinPoint F3
    Seasonic S12II-520 Bronze 520W
    I've searched the other posts, but I've already done that and it still doesn't work. And I think my PSU is more than capable to deliver the power for this system.

    It did work outside of the case, my display turned on and I was too lazy to plug the PCIx connector to the graphic card and I started installing the mainboard back to the case, and now I get the same black screen with or without the PCIx connector plugged. But now I can start the PC with the 4 pin connector in, all the 4 blue LEDs on the motherboard are on and the power LED on the case is on too now. And I can turn off the PC by holding the power button.
    When mounting the board to the PC case take attention to this one marked with red:
         Motherboard Grounding to case causing No Post
    Test the motherboard outside of the case to verify that the motherboard is not shorting to the case and causing a problem
         •    With only the CPU and heat sink, memory, and video card (or onboard video) connected to the motherboard, place the motherboard on a non-conductive surface and retest the motherboard
         •    Check the case mounting standoffs to verify that they are lining up correctly with the mounting holes on the motherboard.

  • MSI 770T-C45 won't post after flashing BIOS with M-FLASH

    After flashing AMIBIOS 8.3 to v8.7 with M-FLASH via USB stick I can't get any post.
    Had I read this forum before I wouldn't have done it, but here I am.
    Fan starts, LEDs are off, no beeps at all, power button does nothing. Black screen.
    After force flashing (yes, I am THAT stupid) the prompt said it would reboot in 5 seconds and after that nothing.
    Here's my setup:
    Board: MSI 770T-C45
    Original Bios: v8.3
    Flashed Bios:  v8.7 (flashed with M-FLASH)
    VGA:   EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
    PSU:   Enermax FMAII EG465AX-VE 460W
    CPU: AMD Phenom x4 9650
    MEM: Kingston DDR2-667 4x2GB KVR667D2N5/2G
    HDD: SAMSUNG 840 SSD 250GB
    OS: Windows 8 Pro 64bit
    I tried every CMOS clearing method found in previous posts and threads (including this and this.)
    1. Unplugged from power, waited 5 minutes, removed the battery (5mins), changed jumper position (5min), switched it back (5min), plugged it in (5min) and powered up with and without USB stick in the hub next to network hub with old BIOS (v8.3) inside. Pressed CTRL+HOME, anything, not a single message or beep or LED flashing.
    Also I removed all RAMs and kept one in the first socket. Nothing.
    I really don't know what to do next. What seems to differ from other users is LEDs non working, what does that mean?

    The problem here is that after update 8.6 the m-flash module was updated, so yes your mobo is a brick, but there is still hope for it. I had the same situation a few days ago with the exact same model and was able to recover it by following the steps on listed on the below posts:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133578.0
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129989.0
    It may seem complicated at first, but trust me its not at all.
    Anyways you probably already have another mobo, send it for RMA or used it as frisbee, but it may come handy for some other doing the same noob flashing as we did

  • MSI K8T-NEO won't post from a cold boot

    Alrighty here is my strange problem.  I have my system connected to a surge protector powerstip.  When I power my machine down I also shut off the powerstrip which cuts wall power off from the machine.  When I turn the power back on the and then fire up the computer every single time it will not POST on the first try.  The drive lights cd-roms come on but the HD's never start.  So I hold the power button in for 6 seconds, then hit it a second time, and it boots every time.  Shutting down and restarting is no problem, so long as the power is never disconnected from the system.
    Here is my configuration
    MSI K8T NEO Bios version 1.2
    Athlon 64 3200+ not overclocked
    1 512meg stick of Geil Ultra PC3200 slot 1
    1 512meg stick of Coarsair XMS3200 slot 2
    memory is running at 333mhz 2-3-3-7 all setting are set to auto
    Radeon 9500 in the AGP slot
    Sound Blaster Audigy
    Promise 100 TX4 Raid controller
    2 WD 80 gig SE HD's connected to promise controller
    1 Pioneer PD-115 16X DVD drive
    1 Liteon 411-s I believe 4x DVD Writer
    1 Zip Drive
    Using AMD boxed CPU fan
    Powered by an Antec true 430 +3.3V 28A +5V 36A +12V 20A
    According to core center +3.3 is at 3.31V, +5V is at 5.03V, +12V is at 11.76V
    So anyway its prime stable etc.  But when ever the system has been powered off, and unplugged the first time I power on it always fails to post with the d-link indicator lights indicating a CPU failure.  Hold down the power button and it reboots.  Power the machine off, but don't disconnect wall power powers back on just fine.
    This is strange, since I use the surge protector to turn off speakers, etc!  Its also annoying, I used to have a MSI K7D-L Master 2xXP CPU's with the same hardware witht eh exception of the Geil RAM, and of course cpu, and mobo and never had any problems with a cold boot.  any suggestions?

    Yeah I tried having only one stick of ram in the machine, and it hangs on a cold boot when its been unplugged/or powersupply switched off.  Reboot again and no problems.  I tried just having the geil installed, and the corsair stick installed same problem.  I have ordered a second Geil Ultra PC3200 stick so I'll have matched sticks and will be able to run at 400mhz FSB.  The lack of a manual memory speed setting overide in the bios is frustrating.  Yes I know the speed is more or less set by the CPU but there must be some override mechinism if you can slow it down....  
    I have also tried with just a video card installed, and one stick of ram to see if the problem would go away.  No GO.  One thing to mention is I had a Radeon 9700pro that I got from new egg refurbed that I had to send back becasue the card would not power on when the system was booted, unless you disconnected the power lead got the warning message, and then powered off and reconnected the power lead.  Possibly this card may have damaged something else?  OR the mobo was bad and damaged the card?  The mobo was new, the ram (geil), CPU, and 9700pro were all refurbs.  Everything else was from a previous dual processor system and was working fine.
    Both of the Western digitals are set as masters and each are on their own seperate ide channels.  The Promise FastTrack100 TX4, has 4 IDE channels and the HD's are connect to channel 1 and channel 2 on the FastTrack controller.
    Specifically what happens is if the power has been off, I turn the power on, hit the power button.  Lights come on, the cd-rom drives lights start blinking, fans come on, and I hear this kinda of poping sound out of the speakers like the kind of sound you get when you first power on the machine but it happens a second time about 2 seconds after powering on the machine, and it just sits in this kind of hung up state, hitting the reset button does nothing.  Then I power off power back on and it POSTS, and back to normal.  So long as the system is never disconnected from the power source while it is off, it will power back on the first time.  This is really strange I've never had a system do this before.  I'm beginning to wonder if I just have a bad/faulty board and ought to RMA it?

    I'm using brass standoffs, I think one near each corner screwed in and one post-type near the center.
    Never think! Be 100% sure!
    That your standoffs match the board holes, no more no less (those holes with tin circle around them).
    Timings should be set on auto-settings. And certainly those aren't good as they are meant for Intel not AMD.

  • MSI K8T NEOFIS2R won't post!!

    Recently purchased an AMD 3400+ and MSI K8T NEO FIS2R
    Put everything together and all I got was the 4 red led's. According to the manual this meant bad cpu or board? Well I tested again outside of the case and samething. No post
    I'm using
    ATI AIW 9700 Pro
    WD2500JB
    Antec PP403X 400W PSU
    Corsair XMS 3200LL 512mb ddr ram.
    What can possibly be the problem?
    I have rma'd both the board and cpu back to newegg and I'm expecting a replacement.
    Do I need a new PSU or ram?
    I thought my corsair ram was compatible w this board.
    Someone Help please I'm very disappointed.
    Oh by the way my psu doesn't have a 4 pin connector that plugs into the mobo.
    All Parts are now back on my Epox 8rda+ working fine.

    should be fine i see alot of enermax's as long as it has over 20a 12volt, a 4pin power connector it shoild be fine.
    for what it is worth i have seen a 4 pin molex adapter before and it  might have worked....$5 vs 129$ psu
    but as you can tell from alot of these threads a good power supply cures alot of headaches, ....even though my chepo compusa might not rate as high as some
    but it is a real workhorse and pushes a full load, never had any problems, except for a few less plugs then i needed for case lights but that is what splitters are for as long as you dont use more then one or two...any more and you should get a bigger psu
    just my 2 cents

  • MSI Gaming 5 won't Post

    Hey Everyone,
    Running into some problems with my new build.  The system specs are:
    Msi Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard
    i7 - 4790k
    Ballistix 16GB (DDR3 - 1600)
    Evga GTX 760
    Corsair Cx 750M
    Samsung ssd 850 Pro 512
    The error code I get from the Debug Screen is "A2", but it doesn't break it down on what it means from the book.
    As for clearing the CMOS, I put a jumper on the board and the blue led light came on and then removed it.  Should I do something else with it?  The manual isn't that detailed after that.
    I also popped the ram into a working system and it seems to be good.
    Any help would be useful on what I should do next.
    Thanks in advanced!

    disconnect any storages
    then retest

  • MSI K9N2 Platinum won't POST

    So, long story short, I had this machine up and running. I plopped in a PCI-E graphics card, however switching primary graphics in BIoS wouldn't get it working. This was fine, it had happened to me before, all I had to do was clear CMOS.
    So, I decided to take the battery out to have a complete wipe; while taking the battery out, a third of the battery 'holder' snapped off. This didn't have any conductive materials on it, it's strictly the plastic. The battery still fits inside nicely.
    Upon booting the machine now, it sits on the BIOS screen. Hitting tab to POST gives me a screen that lets me know all devices were detected...then it just sits there. The board's built in D-bracket gives me 4 red lights. I have no clue as to what I can do.
    I've tried clearing CMOS again and removed all HDDs, but still no luck. Did I just bust my motherboard?

     Are you sure you didn't re-install the battery upside down? When you removed the battery did you pry it out or did you release the metal tab that holds it in place? It seems to me the only reason any of the holder would break off is by prying the battery out with some kind of tool.

  • MOVED: MSI P45 Platinum won't post after warm boot

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=125291.0

    Thanks for the reply DougKmcse
    I have no trouble with the overclocking since this is only a minor overclock (2.8GHz), the only problem I have with this is it gets stuck at restart. With that 2.8GHz OC, i have the vcore @ 1.285v which was stable running 1hr Prime95. I just can't understand why it gets stuck during warm boot.. might try to experiment (400x6 = 2.4GHz) when I get home from work to see if the 400 FSB is causing this. And yes, I agree with you that it would be easier to use a lower FSB with a higher multiplier. I just wanted to try having 400 and having a perfect 1:1 ratio. I have some data suggesting a 1:1 (@ 400:400) is better than 1:1.2 or any other divider. I used Everest cache & memory bandwidth benchmark to test this. I got lower "ns" testing my RAMs (PC6400 DDR2 800) during 1:1 FSB:Ratio (400:400) vs 1:1.2 (333:400)

  • Msi neo2 fir won`t post

    jep thats it.I have 3000+ winchester and everything should be ok.The leds tell that the step where it stops is "early chipset initializing".I hope that this is not about my winchester.Or is it??  

    I'm stuck at the same place as others.  I've got the 'early chipset initializing' diag signal and nothing.  I've pretty much stripped everything off except memory video card and one WD 40gb boot drive.  
    No matter what other periphs I've added or subtracted the message remains the same.  From what I understand reading the manual I'm not even looking at memory at that point of the startup, so I wouldn't think that's my issue.  
    It's a brand-new Kingston 512mb 3200/400 ddr stick, however.
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MSI P67A-C43 B3 won't POST with Full RAM Installed

    Hello all,
    I recently purchased the MSI P67A-C43 B3 mainboard as a custom build
    and have been having trouble with it.  I have 16GB of ram for this board
    (4x 4GB) and when I have 8GB installed (slots 1 and 3 filled), it POSTS fine. 
    When I fill ALL the slots for 16GB total, the board won't POST and just
    power cycles ON and OFF and ON and OFF, etc...
    I have replaced the memory and the PSU and am about to replace the
    mainboard, but wanted to ask if anyone might have a suggestion for
    troubleshooting before I do that. 
    Here's what I'm running on the system:
    mainboard:  MSI P67A-C43 B3
    proc: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4Ghz Unlocked
    proc cooler: Corsair Hydro H80 CPU Liquid Cooler
    ram: Corsair High Perform Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz2x4  (4 of these)
    HDD: OCZ TECHNOLOGY 120GB VERTEX PLUS SSD and Seagate 1TB LP Serial ATA HD 5900/32MB/SATA-3G
    CD Drive: Sony Optiarc 24X DVDRW SATA
    video: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB 1024MB GDDR5 PCB PCIe
    PSU: Thermaltake 750W Modular Power Supply. 80+ Bronze
    case: Thermaltake Chaser MK-I Full Tower Gaming Case
    OS:  Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64Bit DVD
    Any ideas here would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

    OK, had some time to go test your suggestions here
    These are the 1.5V Vengeance RAM Modules.  Tried installing 2 of the RAM on slots 2 and 4 on their own.  System Boots Fine.
    Went into the BIOS and changed the voltage applied to the RAM modules from
    AUTO to 1.575V.   On AUTO it says is applying 1.5V to the 2x 4GB modules.
    Installed the full 4x RAM on all slots... and the system just shuts down.  Power cycling again.
    What do you think here?  Bad Motherboard?  Can't think of anything else to try...  totally stumped! 
    Thanks!

  • MSI Neo-fsr motherboard won't post help!!!!!

    Okay so I got the parts yesterday and I put it together and when I turn it on it won't post. Not only that but everything seem to be powered up except for the video card the fan isn't spinning. It was a 9700 pro. Then I took my brothers Geforce MX and tried it and it still won't post. I mounted the motherboard correctly it is definitely not grounded to anything. I connected the D-bracket and all four red light show up. But my cpu is brand new out of the retail box.  I don't think its the cpu. So any body got any ideas?  
    Here are my spec:
    Athlon 64 3000+
    1 gig OCZ el memory
    MSI neo fsr
    9700 pro

    I had a similiar problem:

    Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2400
    Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX
    It's a new build and I can't get it to post. When I try to turn it on, a red LED located next to the 24 pin ATX power connector comes on and will not go off until I cut the power at the Power Supply. I can't find anything online concerning the red LED. Is it some overvoltage protection? An issue with the memory? I'm at a loss trying to diagnose this. Please see the images below:

    Hello.
    I'm having the exact same issue.
    My computer was running with no issues for over 1 month and today when i tried to start it this exact issue happened.
    The lights on the rest of the motherboard are working (CMOS, Power, OC Genie) but it won't post.
    I have tried to reset the CMOS, re-seated and tried various configurations for the RAM, tried both BIOS and OC Genie on and off and the issue remains.
    Could this be a PSU issue? If so, would the remaining lights work?
    Anyone else had this issue and how did you fix it?
    Thank you in advance!
