Msi x79a-gd65 8d BSOD and Ram issue, Code 67

Hi,
Specs as follows:
Mobo: msi x79a-gd65 8d (Bios: latest 4.4)
CPU: 3960x
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair dominator platinum 1866MHZ (CMD16GX3M2A1866C10)
PSU: CM 1000watt
GPU: EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4GB
Mobo came back from MSI and they said there were bend pins, they fixed the bent pins. However the mobo still BSODs on stock settings and does not want to boot with 2x8Gb. It only boots with 1 stick.
I also get the code 67.
The mobo is only stable when I enable OC genie and run 1 ram module
Please help, thanks in advance!

>>Clear CMOS<< and retry. If no help try the second stick in any mem slot and see if it boots in any while other stick is installed too. If not try each stick individually to check if both are working.

MSI X79A-GD65 no POST and no POST LED

Long story short, I was redoing my watercooling loop and the pump wasn't getting fed water correctly, leading to the CPU overheating. I let the computer cool down and made sure water was moving through it properly before turning it back on.
When I turned it back on, my computer wouldn't post, and there was no debug LED code coming on. I checked the voltages with a multimeter, everything seemed to read correctly except for the CPU Vcore on the voltage checkpoint: it was reading 0. I checked the EPS connector and it was delivering 12v.
So what do you guys think, dead motherboard or dead CPU?
Specs:
Core i7 3820
MSI X79A-GD65 8D
SLI EVGA GTX 580

I would remove and reinstall the cpu. While it is out inspect the cpu socket for bent pins.
Also, inspect the VRM section of the mainboard. Do you see any burn marks? Swelled capacitors etc? Any burning smell from the area?
Finally remove and re-seat all of the components and wiring. Just in case.
If still no help, either RMA both components or borrow a cpu to test.

MSi z87-gd65 OC Genie and RAM frequency issues

Hey all,
I just built a new computer (my first build), and am quite glad with the capabilities of the machine. However, whenever I try to turn on OC Genie or bump up my ram speed to 2400 MHz(I believe this is the native speed, but the motherboard puts it down to 1333MHz) the system fails to boot, and sometimes hangs in a rebooting cycle. Eventually, the motherboard gives an error on the screen saying that the changes made have failed and was restored to default settings, and to press f1 or f2.
I admit I am a complete novice at overclocking, and probably do not know what I did wrong. I've updated the bios, cleared cmos, and tried both bios A and B, but have got the same results. I was hoping I could get some help on this forum and learn new workarounds! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hey man, thanks for replying. The first thing I tried, before overclocking, was to enable XMP from the UFEI. When i enabled it, the board would show that memory was OC'd to 2400MHz and bumped up to 1.65 voltage. This is all shown prior to rebooting. When I would reboot the computer however, the system would fail to boot and I would get the same error saying all "overclocking failed, reset to default settings". I believe that my ram is the cause for my inability to overclock. I found out that motherboard is not compatible with it at extreme speeds. The max speed I can get out of my ram is 2133MHz with no problem whatsoever in rebooting. This is without changing the voltage of the ram( keeping it at 1.5v) . If I change the ram voltage, I'm pretty sure it would fail to boot.
Yeah good luck with OCing and please let me know if you find anything useful. I'm afraid that this forum does not have much to offer, so you may want to try some other forums.
Jms and Xfx are right. By default mine booted to at 1600mhz. I enabled XMP and it brought it to the rated speed of 2133mhz. I'm not trying to overclock my ram further than the rated speed. Pointless to me, considering I'm coming from a rig that had ddr2 with 800mhz. As you can see in my pic, the one with blue LEDs is the 7.5 year old build. Still going strong. Anyhow, if you do overclock, make sure you disable the XMP. That way you can eliminate another possible instability issue. I'm a member of a few forums, and I was suprised to see these forums not respond very well. For the guys who did respond, I thank you! You may also want to check out overclock.net There's are plenty of people there and "clubs" you can be a part of. I'm finding a lot of useful information there. Most people won't get mad about noob questions unless you do like me and ask the same ones in multiple threads lol! Hop on over there and check it out. My name there is Scotty Mac.

MSI X79A-GD65 8D, RevoDrive X2 100GB issue!

Hi,
2 days ago i bought my first MSI board ever, (mentioned above) along with a OCZ RevoDrive X2 100GB PCI-E for my OS part.
As i got windows installed, and up running i got Blue screen of Death on everey Windows Startup - this was fixed by moving the RevoDrive to the PCI-E 3,0 slot furthest away from the CPU (slot 5). Though the card is running VERY slow and unstable... making some HDtune tests is giving me 90-100mb/s (should be around 650-750 mb/s), the RevoDrive is also running very unstable (laggy system)... No problems detected with the new Kingston HyperX SATA SSD, why i suspect the MSI board is not yet compatible with such RevoDrives? (i've read alot of issues with MSI boards and OCZ RevoDrives)
my Specs:
BIOS Version V1.3
CPU: Intel Core i7-3960X Extreme
Memory: 32GB DDR3 1866mhz Kingston HyperX (8dimms)
First PCI-E 3.0 slot is filled with a ASUS GTX 580 DirectCU II VGA Adapter.
Last PCI-E 3.0 slot is filled with the OCZ Revo Drive.
any BIOS beta fixes out for this trouble?

MSI X79A-GD65 (8) Ram Compatability

hello gents
I'm planning for my new rig with the MSI X79A-GD65 (8).
I found in the memory compatibility guide page 7 that the "G.Skill [RIPJAWSZ] F3-12800CL9Q-16GBZL" kit that has 4 dimms as advertised.
filled the 8 dimms in the test
does it means i can use two kits of this with no problem???
please advise cause i'm on a harry to buy.

Quote from: HU16E
If you are going to fill all 8 slots, you are better off getting an 8 stick matched and tested kit. Reason, mixing kits even though the same part number may have different chips on them and not be compatible with each other. That particular RAM manufacturer even has some disclaimers about that with some kits.
That's right.
http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=427
3. G.SKILL guarantees module compatibility within this specific Quad Channel kit. Combining with other memory kit or module (even with same part number) is not recommended to avoid any compatibility issue.
In fact, 8 memory modules is not a good idea at all.
There will be a huge bandwidth demand and you'll need to raise the voltages and/or to slow them down.
Otherwise you'll get into stability issues.

Intel Core i7 3930K 3.2GHz
2x Nvidia 130GT
Frio Advanced CPU Cooler
Corsair TX 850w PSU
Fractal Design Define R3 casing
I just bought it. Everything new (except the nvidia cards). I installed everything in the right slot according to the User Guide. I turn the computer on and their is no output, no signal to the screen, no beeps, no LED Post.
I've disassebled the computer and reassembled it again with different configurations, 1 stick of RAM with the PSU, processor, and video card. changed videocard. tested the video cards on my old computer and they worked.
Everything runs as they should; all fans spinn, even the graphics card fan, the LED lights "DRR PHASE" and "CPU I/O PHASE" are blue (can't see the CPU PHASE one because its covered by some Military Class thingy).. the only LED not showing is the HDD one, but since it doesnt even boot its not active. No warning LEDs or so...
I figure its the PSU, but 850W should work fine...
anyone with a clue?
thankfull for any help I can get

Quote from: KaizerKaizer on 10-March-12, 18:15:14
thanks for the help. There was no problem at all with the PSU after all, there seems to have been an incompabillity issue between x79a-gd65(8D) and Corsair TX850. I called the place where I bought my Corsair and asked I they ever tested it against my modell of MB, and they did not. I realized this endevour would continue untill end of mankind, and beeing so certain that it was an incomplabillity issue, I bought a Cooler Master PSU from another reseller...and it worked.
I don't know if anyone else has had this kind of problem before, but this was the solution for me.
Thanks again for all the help!
No problems with X79A-GD65(8D) here using a Corsair HX850, but, I did have trouble with a BB X II. Tried both a Corsair AX1200 and HX850. If the replacement mainboard acts the same, I have a Thermaltake here I can test with to rule out a compatibility theory. I can only guess the Corsair PSU you had had some odd intermittent function behavior & was faulty. I know the AX1200 & HX850 work, as I had them on other systems running with no problems.

MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) Restarting

Hello,
On Friday 18/1/2012 i assembled the following parts:

HD1: Western Digital Black WD2002FAEX 2TB 7200rpm 64MB Cache
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit
The system booted up for the first time normal. I installed Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit and then i installed the motherboard drivers from the CD. After i runned the Live Update 5 software from MSI. It found that i had BIOS 1.10 and wanted to download BIOS 1.11. Also it found all the drivers no updated. So i first start flashing the BIOS to 1.11 from windows and then i restarted the system and updated all the drivers. I continue to install all my programs for my work and at night i shutted down the PC. The next morning when i turned on the PC, the system started in black screen for 3-4 sec and then stopped. After that it started again and continued to load windows. Until today every morning it does the same. After a lot of hours that im working on it... when i shutted down and turn it on the next day it does that.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance for your kind help.

Lot's of clues! Wanted v1.11 for what specific reason requiring a BIOS update? First, how did you find a UEFI/BIOS v1.11 that has been pulled because it is a bad BIOS? Two, never flash in a Windows environment or use Live Update, especially for a BIOS update, go to the MSI Website and download drivers and install them manually. Switch to BIOS chip B, and whatever you do, don't flash it to that bad v1.11 or the board will be a brick.
Some of us have found this Beta UEFI/BIOS to be the best one;
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=163918.msg1192427#msg1192427

MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) dE?

I'm getting dE on my MSI motherboard Post/Debug Code Display,what causing it? i took my motherboard/CPU yesterday to the retailer as i thought it was fried by my PSU failing but it boot to the bios
CPU:Intel CORE i7 3930K
MOBO:MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)
PSU:Silverstone Strider Plus 850W ST85F-P
GPU: gigabyte 6850
RAM:G.Skill Ripjaws Z F3-17000CL11Q-16GBZL (4x4GB) DDR3
SOUND CARD:Creative Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium PCIe Fatal1ty Pro
when i came back to home i install the motherboard in my case and it gave my first dE and also it restarts at random at start up before i got the dE
when i place my motherhood on my desk and it boot to the bios with all my ram stick installed
then i place it back to case it still gave me the dE and how when i put on the desk it gave me dE

I don't know,but I assume this, as you say it works fine outside the case.
When you insert it in the case you are getting the error. Nothing changes, except the mounting of the board. If that is the only change, then it can only be a short.
Only thing you didn't mention if this happens even without connecting the case wiring ?
Mount the board in the case with the designated stand-offs only. Then do not connect any case wiring. Start the PC by shorting the ON/OFF switch pins on the board jumper. Check if it starts. After that, connect the case wiring and test again. That way you will find out if its a short between the board and the case, or if you have a short on the case wiring.

MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) -- system reboots after 2 minutes ...

Hi guys,
I'm in trouble! I have just assembled my new system with the components listed above. When I plug in the power supply I'm able to start the it. It runs for 1 to 2 minutes and I can call up the BIOS for instance. Everything seems to be fine. But then it crashes and tries to restart and get stuck on the POST code "dE" (I know, such a POST code doesn't exists...) When I turn it off, I'm not able to start again until I unplug the power supply for 10 minutes.
I have tried to start it with only one DDR3-RAM in DIMM one. I have already cleared the CMOS a couple of times with a jumper. I have removed the CMOS battery for a while, I have tried all 4 RAM's in DIMM 1....
It would be great if someone has an idea what's going on here. I go insane
Thanks,
Selwy

dammit! It's the PSU!! How is that possible!?
I have installed a old 550W Enermax PSU and it worked with all the new components - msi board, PNY Quadro, i73930k...
What I really don't understand is, why did the PSU worked with my old VGA this afternoon? It had a 6-pin connector too.
What do you guys think I should do now? Send to PSU back to Corsair and ask for a new one - same version? Or would it be better to get one from another brand? Or is there something I can test or adjust on the PSU before I send it back? Or is it even "broken enough" to send it back? I mean, it works - a little bit
Once again, thank you very much to all of you for your help!!

MSI X79A-GD65 HANGS AT B4

Hello
My new motherboard MSI X79A-GD65 is hanging at B4 during the booting process if there are peripherals attached on the USB ports.
There are 2 peripherals in question that seems to upset the booting process
A Philips webcam
A powered USB hub
I have installed the latest available BIOS
is anyone else experiencing similar issues? Is anyone aware of a workaround and is there a way to make the BIOS dev aware of it?

MSI X79A-GD65- quad sli ?

Hi All ,
Im looking at buying a MSI X79A-GD65 and im wondering if the board will support quad sli ie 2x gtx590's ?
Any help would be great as i cant seem to find a definitive answer .
Regards
Hoody

Quote from: Jack on 07-January-12, 21:55:30
2 x 590GTX cards is not quad sli, but two-way SLI (2 x GPUx2).
Yes, it is supported.
Even though the VGA test report list for the mainboard does not mention this configuration (it probably wasn't tested), it mentions 2 x 295GTX cards which also have a dual GPU.
Thats great thanks for the quick response although http://uk.geforce.com/optimise/guides/how-to-build-a-quad-sli-system according to that guide 2x gtx590 is quad sli hence why i asked .
Anyway thanks again

MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) won't overclock after bios 4.1 update

Just updated my bios to 4.1, unable to overclock after the update, multiplier stuck at 32 or sometimes 38. I've set everything as before with bios 1.8 but no success. Bios boots normally (does not say failed OC)
Is there some new setting to enable OC in 4.1 or

CPU&VGA Watercooled * CoolerMaster HAF-932 * Corsair AX 1200W * 27" Asus VG278H 3D 120Hz * Windows 8 Pro x64

found out my issue... I used to set the ratio limit for each core under CPU Features submenu but in 4.1 I have to set the "Adjust CPU Ratio" in overclocking menu, it default on auto.
So all is good

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
Graphics: MSI N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC GTX660Ti
Memory: CORSAIR DDR3 1600MHz 16GB Kit 2x8GB Domi DDR3 - 240 pin - 1,5V - CL9 - 2x 8 GB Kit
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 x79a-gd65 (8d) pci problem

Hello i have an issue that i need some help with.
I have the X79a-gd65(8D) MOBO, and my system works normal overall. So now i used in the past a soundcard on my previous system: Auzentech x-Meridian 7.1 2g. But it was broke, and in the meantime i bought my new system + these cards are not easy to get in the Netherlands. But recently i got an hold on it again, but forgot that this card uses the old pci connector, and there are none on this MOBO.
So i searched for an PCIe > PCI connector. Got that now, all good u say. But sadly it won't work, bcs the bridge is detected in Windows. But if i connect the card to it, the mobo won't boot properly. It keeps hanging on the 94 on the led, and there won't come any screen. According to the manual this code is for the PCI bus Initialization. What makes sense ofc.
However the soundcard is working properly on my older system, also if i try it with the bridge. So am confused here, and don't know what to do, so if there is someone that has ideas or suggestions to solve this (even if it was on another MOBO) let me know pls.
So summary:
MOBO = x79a-gd65(8d)
Soundcard = Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 2g with the older pci connection, working
PCIe > PCI bridge (connected on the PCIe x1 connector)
Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, does detect the bridge if standalone
But once soundcard is connected Mobo won't boot properly, no screen available bcs of this, and the led hangs on number 94 (PCI Bus Initialization)
Sorry for typo's, no native English.

Using a bridge messes with the pci clock. This affects audio output (skipping and the likes). It happens on every platform that uses a pci>pcie bridge under specific circumstances and it can't be fixed. The only real solution is to get another sound card.
The meridian is one hell of a card but it requires native pci support, without bridging, to work properly.
x79 supports pci, but pci is a legacy internal slot standard. Unlike external devices that you might still use on your new PC (like firewire cameras and the likes) you normally get newish internal devices.
Anyway, some recent pcie offerings from ASUS and Creative are semi-decent, but the only noteworthy sound cards currently on the market are the Soundblaster ZxR and the Asus Xonar Phoebus (including the solo version which lacks the extras). Those 2 are even be better than the meridian when it comes to sound quality.
Also, you could ebay the Meridian since a lot of people who want supreme audio on legacy systems will want to get one, even if overpriced. You could then use the money to buy one of the above.
My suggestion is to keep the Meridian for your old system since it's hard to get a good reliable pci sound card for cheap these days. But you'll of course need the $ to get a card for the new system.
Maybe iam just lucky, but for me it al works like an charm. No stuttering or delays, and it just works great, and hearing the sound i used to have like 3-4 years ago I can really find no issues atm.
@ Froggy: I used this one bcs i wanted an extra slot just in case and a flexible cable http://www.delock.com/produkte/F_377_PCIe-x1_41341/merkmale.html?setLanguage=en. I have the CM Storm Trooper case and planned it originaly for an vertical opening this case has, so that my other PCIe slots would stay free and available for expanding if needed. Would be a close call, to see if it would reach the spot, but sadly not. Also have seen other ones from like Startech, but none that had an long flexible cable. There where a few on ebay from China with like 15 cm what would be long enough, but that would take several weeks for delivery. Also not fond of extending the flexible cable and solder it, bcs of the very likely signal loss then + it is a real job and u need minitiny equipement for it So if u want a flexible cable, make sure u get the right length cable. By some creative modding and some usable stuff i could fit it in my case. Only my mic entrance is not available bcs it's just in my case, but since i use the front panel for mic iam ok with it.
Just an headsup, that u make sure the cable's u need are proper O also, besides the 4pin flopy connector for the bridge, for this MOBO the 4 pin molex on the bottom beneath the last PCIe must be powered or it also causes issues. So for other mobo's that would have an power slot to get extra power to the PCIe slots, it might be required for stuff to work. That u don't remove it bcs u need the room if u have multiple cards and extra stuff....
