MSI X79-GD65(8D) gives a posting error 63 Late CPU Initialize

Hey Guys.
I have recently purchased new hardware.
MSI X79-GD65(8D) Motherboard
Intel i7 3820 CPU
4 X Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3-1600 RAM
MSI GTX660Ti Power edition GPU
Corsair 750W Professional series PSU
Corsair H80 CPU Cooler
I haven't overclocked ht e mobo, but on cold boot, the mobo doesn't initialize, gives a post error 63, refered to the mobo manual, it says it means late CPU initialize. Checked the BIOS, running version 1.7 and according to MSI download site for the CPU support list.
The memory is in quad channel as it shows in a diagram in the mobo manual. If I switch the pc off, and back on, it initializes and boots, the pc runs stable, it can run 48 hours no hassle, passes burn in tests to, just the first cold boot doesn't initialize.
Any ideas for what to look at would be great.
Thank you.

A little hint for you: Don't try any of the .1B betas as they run horrible. I had to remove the latest .1B3 as it bricked the board and had to be recovered.
1.18 B7 is still the best bios to use:

I'd suggest the later Bios 1.18 B7 which I'm also using with the i7-3820 (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=154186.msg1192427#msg1192427)

MSI x79-GD65 (8d) RAM issue.

I've just recently bought a new pc. Put it together this week aswell, everything works fine except for the fact that my RAM is not capable of running quad channel. The problem is (as far as I've been able to diagnose it) that the slots to the right of the cpu, that's dimm slots 5-8, aren't working.
After installing all the parts and installing the memory in slots 1, 3, 5 and 7 (the black ones), I noticed that Windows only saw 8GB of ram rather than the full 16GB. I went into my BIOS (not clickbios but startup bios as that allows you to view Memory-Z) and found that it only detected the Ram in slots 1 and 3. I turned off the pc and put the ram in slots 5 and 7 into slots 1 and 3 to check if the ram was faulty. They were detected fine.
I put all of them in again but still no more than 8GB got detected. I swapped all the memory into the blue slots (2, 4, 6, 8). After doing so the computer wouldn't post. I then tried to boot with different ram (2 sticks of 2GB DDR3 1333mhz Mushkin) in slot 1 and 5 (that is 1 one the left and one to the right of the cpu). Only the ram in slot 1 got detected.
I then put the Mushkin in the first two black dimms (1,3) and put all the corsair ram into the blue slots (2, 4, 6, 8). No more than 12GB got detected (which was slots 1-4, 2x2gb and 2x4gb). Memory-Z confirmed that none of the ram in slots 5-8 got detected.
As a desperate last measure I took out the Mushkin ram and put the Corsair ram into slots 1-4. All of the ram got detected but for obvious reasons it was only running dual channel.
I've read on this and other forums that sometimes the cpu socket pins can be bent and that can cause memory problems, I took apart the pc again and looked at the pins, but none of them were missing nor were any bent.
The question now is how can I get quad channel ram working?
system specs
Motherboard: MSI x79-GD65 (8D)
Bios: Version 1.7 (latest version)
VGA: Gigabyte 670GTX OC
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast TX750M (750 Watt)
CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 (stock speed)
MEM: Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4X1600C9 (4 sticks of 4gb)
HDD: Corsair Force 3 240GB SSD.
+ 2xSamsung F3 1TB in raid 0, all on the Intel chip.
COOLER: Corsair H100
OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

For quad channle you must populate DIMM1, DIMM3, DIMM5, DIMM7 or all slots if using 8 sticks. Populating slots 1-4 has to result in dual channel.
If 1, 3, 5 and 7 won't work there's some different problem that still would indicate bent pin(s).

MSI z77a-gd65 doesn't boot 55 error

Hello!
I have a problem with my pc
When I click the power button the pc is on a loop and nothing appears on the monitor.
The code that appears in the motherboard display is 55.
My pc was working without any problems for two weeks.
Someone can help me clarify what's going on?
Thank you!
My system:
MSI GD65-z77a
Intel Core i5-2500K

WD 500GB SATA3 BLUE
AEROCOOL SRTIKE X 600W

Hi pmec, got any further with this issue? I have a similar/the same problem with the same mobo.
I have the same LED error number, though mine did it straight away on the first boot.
I don't think the RAM is faulty as it is a set of 4 sticks and I've tried all of them on their own in slot 1 (though I guess it might be that the whole batch was faulty).
I also tried booting without any RAM at all to see if it behaved exactly the same, but there is a slight difference, I'm not sure if it means anything.
When there IS a stick in, the display jumps very quickly to showing '55' after the power is pressed then runs for a few seconds and reboots.
When there ISN'T a stick in, the display jumps quickly to showing '22' (iirc, I'm at work atm) then a couple of seconds later moves on to '55' before it reboots.
Maybe you could see if you get the same behaviour with no memory sticks in, I don't know what it would mean but it might help more knowledgeable people here to narrow down the problem?
If not maybe it's a different issue...

MSI X79 GD65 8d DVD problem

For some reason the DVD drive does not work with the MSI, but it works with my other computers. The DVD drive is detected by Windows 7, but it will not read any DVD/CD.

What SATA port are you using the ODD in? SATA II or SATA III? Native Intel or external? Are the SATA controllers all enabled in the UEFI/BIOS?

MSI X79 GD65 (8D) CPU Compatibility

Hello, I'm not sure where to put this topic exactly but is the LGA 2011 motherboard 22nm ready for an Ivy Bridge - E Processor? I can't seem to find in the specs if what nm technology is it compatible. Or would I rather get a Sandy Bridge - E instead?

I'm not familiar with flashing bios mainly because I haven't tried it yet and had not experienced it, but I have read the notice on Ivy Bridge CPU support. Would like to ask if there are there any compatibility issues (like stability issues experienced) or disadvantages when running on an Ivy Bridge CPU made possible due to a BIOS update? Also, would I have to update the UEFI/BIOS each time I reformat?

X79-GD65 (8D) and i7 3820 issues

Hello members
I recently purchased a MSI X79-GD65 (8D) motherboard and an Intel i7 3820 CPU.
I have installed 4 sticks of 16GB memory.
When I turn the computer on, everything looks normal on the motherboard, except I get no video (have tried two video cards).
The CPU phase LED shows 3 bars, no digits on the debug motherboard LCD.
I have noticed that it is impossible to turn the power off and the PSU needs to be switched off.
From what I am reading it seems I have an old BIOS, (the chip has a red dot) and this is incompatible with the 3820.
I was wondering if anybody knows a workaround to allow me to get into BIOS to reflash the chip.
The fact that the BIOS chips are surface soldered doesn't help either.
Any ideas appreciated.

it is dead to me.
there are some serious key flaws with MSI.
Why is the BIOS chip soldered surface mount, if BIOS are always outdated, why not install a socket BIOS chip, this would then be a very straight forward fix
Why do I need a CPU installed to flash my BIOS, ASUS has this feature on their motherboard, this could easily be fixed in this case
The RMA website for Australia is non functional, try navigating http://au.msi.com/service/wheretobuy/ you get a JavaScript error.
I reread the manual which points to the url http://www.msi.com/service/cpu-support (which doesn't even work because of the missing trailing forward slash) and it pointed to the url http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X79A-GD65--8D-.html#/?div=CPUSupport.
Nothing on that page even hints there may be incompatibility issues.
Not a good experience

Msi x79A GD65 8D no sata ports detected

Hi to everyone, i'm new
I recently bought a msi x79 GD65 8D for my new workstation,and i've updated the BIOS to the latest version(1.6) available, but from the beginning i had some issues: the first one , only 2 sata connectors (sata 7-8 ASM1061) of 8 works properly.
The others one are in the bios indicated as "not present".
The second one, only 12 gb of ram of 16 installed are detected by operating system.
Any suggestions?

Msi x79 a gd45 quad channel (16gb ram) memory fail

Hi,
I'm facing troubles running a quad channel on my x79 agd45 msi MoBo.
these are my components:
MoBo: x79 agd 45 Msi
CPU: I7 3820 3.6ghz
RAM Corsair vengance lp 16gb (4x4gb)
Video: Nvidia gtx 660ti
Cooler:Freezer-i30 artic
ssd: intel 120gb (520 series)
hdd: wd 2tb
Psu: corsair 650W
The Pc is working properly although I had to update the Bios in order solve the CPU/MoBo compatibility that made the PC reeboot every 5 seconds as soon as I tried to power the system on.
Now it is working on a Dual channel (8gb) but as soon as I try to install either a third or a fourth channel it doesn't allow me to even enter the BIOS. the motherboard led says "67" which means Late CPU initialization when I try to install the other 8gb of memory (16 total) to the third and fourth dimm.
I am 100% sure that my BIOS is updated to the latest version. As I have used the Msi Live update tool.
could the TEMPERATURE be the problem? as it is quite high ( 70°, I had to remove the thermal paste when I sent the cpu back for testing and now I'm waiting for the shop to send me more paste, it will take another day, meanwhile I'm using the Pc only for resolve this problem online )
what should I do? is there any setting I can adjust in order to resolve the problem?
Many thanks in advance.

Once all the problems are sorted out, delete this from your pc. It is a dangerous utility to allow to do flashes. Use the forum USB method;
>> Forum USB Flash Method <<
After a flash, it is recommended that a full battery removed CMOS clear should be performed. Once back in the BIOS, reset all settings as desired and then retest. If each RAM has been tested individually in the primary DIMM slot and they check out ok, place two sticks in, insert the third stick in DIMM 4, does it POST? Remove that stick and place it in DIMM 3, does it POST? If not in either 3 or 4, that is usually a classic sign that some CPU socket pin(s) are damaged or bent, or CPU cooler is not mounted evenly, or the mounting torque is wrong, or, there are errant standoffs underneath the mainboard causing the 3 and 4 DIMM slots to be shorted or grounded out.

JRE 1.4 US only - Error occurred during initialization of VM

JAVA.EXE in JRE give that message Error occurred during initialization of VM with throwing NullPointerException
This is NOT happening when using JRE international
OR sdk - which is almost like JRE international but
for some unknown reason WITHOUT the SERVER
directory which is a bug for itself.

I am getting a report from a customer that seems to match the symptoms you describe i.e. they see
Error occurred during initialization of VM
java.lang.NullPointerException
Did you find out what was causing this. I seem unable to reproduce the problem with the 1.4.0 US JRE.

Msi x79a-gd65 8d - BIOS 1.11 - post / LED error 01 with A & B

Hello All,
I have just updated the BIOS from 1.7 to 1.11 and have recieved an LED / post error code of 01 on BOTH A and B. I have removed the the AC as well as the CMOS battery, still no go. The upgrade went fine until the reboot. Any help would be appericated... I have done some research and have concluded I am not the only one experiencing this issue, appears to be a bad release.
Once again any help would be great.
OS version - Win 7 x64 sp1 with post updates
Hardware - I7 3820 with Intel Extreme Masters Limited Edition DDR3 16GB (2 x 8GB) PC3-15000 Kit

If you flash allot of bios, you undoubtedly have had problems with difficult flash drives.
Use this guide:
http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm
To re-create a bootable usb flash drive, then run the forum flash tool. If the flash tool fails again for some odd reason you can do this manually.
Also, you want to use option 1 and point it directly at the entire compressed archive that you would have downloaded and placed on your desktop. Make sure you didn't place the compressed archive onto your flash drive or there will be an error.

MSI z87 gd65 no post, no code

Hello,
I got this problem with my msi z87 gd65 mobo. It doesn't want to post (no screen or whatsoever). It doesn't give any debug code. And it only starts up when i hold down the start button. I used a 2nd psu as the psu is the problem most of the time but that didn't fix it. Also the no debug code makes me worry about it. I did recet the cmos with the reset cmos button, and that didn't fix it. also no overclocks.
cpu: i5 4670k
gpu: evga gtx 770 sc acx
ram: G-skill ripjaws 2x4gb 1866mhz
cpu cooler: corsair H100i

still nothing :s also if i want to shut it down i have to hold down the start button, same things happen. need to hold in start button and no post or debug code

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

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 X79A-GD65 (8D) Boot error B2

I bought my ssystem last week. All hardware came in and I build it up.
This is the hardware I have:
Mainboard: MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)
CPU: Intel Core i7-3930K/3.2GHz 12MB LGA2011 Hexa-core
Case: Corsair CASE Graphite 600T
Power supply: Thermaltake SMART 650W/ 80plus
Cooler: Thermaltake Contac 39
SSD: Intel SSD 520 series 240GB
HDD: Seagate HI 3.5" 2TB Barracuda 7200RPM

DVD: DVD RW AD-5280 24x DL SATA Black Bulk 24x/24x - Serial ATA
The problem:
Everything looks fine all fans are spinning when I power on the computer. Keyboard lights up. I can even press del to enter setup.
I never get into setup though. It just displays error code B2 in the bottom right corner and a blinking cursor in the top left corner.
So always error B2. I see this error to on the LED's in the mainboard.
What I have tried:
- Boot the system with one memory module in Dimm socket 1
- Boot the system with on memory module in Dimm socket 3
- Place the graphic cards in another PCI-E socket
- Double checked the connector of the power on the graphic card, the mainboard, near the cpu and the graphic card power on the mainboard.
- Boot the system without any devices, just cpu, memory and graphic card.
- Reset the CMOS with the button on the back of the mainboard.
Can somebody help me solve my problem? I have no idea what to do anymore?
Oh: 1 thing just came to mind, I have connected all my system fans to my case instead of on my mainboard. I can manage the speed that way, can it have something to do that there is no Sysfan1 connected to the mainboard? (A bit far searched I guess).
Help would be much apreciated.

I just wanted to let the readers know that I found the problem.
I have tried to screw out my old Videocard and placed that in my new system. It booted without any problems.
The MSI Geforce GTX 660 Ti videocard caused my problem. I have read some things about this card to on the internet.
They tend to use to much power in this videocard so it can cause POST problems.
Here is some more info about it: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/MSI-GTX-660-670-overvolting-PowerEdition,18013.html
I hope this info helps other people to.

MSI z68 gd65 G3 POST TAKES FOREVER

Hello Guys I'm new to this forum
A week ago I purchased new system parts one of them was an MSI z68 mobo.
I was really excited about that build and when I finally put all components together
I thought that something was wrong ... mainly the time in between power button and post took so long about 15- 25 sec depends...
Before you give me any advice here is what I did and the problem still persist.
Unplug all USB devices
removed my msi 570 gtx TF II OC and connected monitor to iGPU
clear comos without power cord installed
try to turn it on without any hard drives and optical drives
Here is the wired thing as well every time i want to get to bios if i hit delete buton to early the post freezes at B2 ...
What does it sound like guys ?? Should I RMA or any other advice??

I press the start btn and even before to monitopr turned on it rebooted itself and that green power option is disabled is it time for msi RMA ticket ??
This behavior continuing even with EuP 2013 disabled, has been linked to UEFI/BIOS settings usually associated with OC'ing & certain frequency combinations. Try a bclk setting of 10010

The problem with occasional reboot before even get to post came back, fallowed by a blinking underscore in the right top corner of the screen that showed up right before the windows logo, it was blinking there for couple of minutes until I lost my patience and hard shutdown it, Guys I have no idea what I'm dealing with here
Most of the time, during my testing escapades, this was due to a voltage problem to the CPU 'or' the settings of the RAM. Double check the connections on the modular PSU. Corsair is an excellent brand of PSU, but even they can have a lemon once in awhile. I wouldn't completely rule out that the PSU wasn't acting up.
