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
Ripjaws Gskill 1600MHz CL9 DC-X 8GB
ASUS GForce GTX 560 DC II TOP
Windows 7 64Bit Uiltimate
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...

Z77a gd65 doesn't boot/power off

Hello,
I have a problem with my z77a gd65. It doesn't boot anymore. Each time I need to clear CMOS. Also when I do a shutdown or restart it doesn't respond anymore. (all leds on motherboard are off except the first one of the CPU_PHASE leds). Shutdown or restart have the same effect when i try them in windows or bios, even the buttons on the board have the same results. Only the fans keep spinning. It doesn't power off anymore, I need to unplug the power cord.
It has worked for over 2 months, it just happened yesterday. I haven't installed or changed anything that day.
I haven't overclocked the mainboard.
I tried the latest BIOS version, but this didn't solved the problem
I removed all other hardware (videocard, hdd, dvd,...) but still same problem
Any suggestions
thanks

I've contacted the store and they replaced the board.
Thanks for your time flobelix!
Does that mean the system is now fixed and working?

Error 55 Msi Z77A-GD65 Gaming

Hi guys,
I'm new in this forum..
I bought a new mainboard this is: MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming.
My components are:
Intel i5 3570K
Asus Geforce 660 2GB
Ram Kingston Hyperx 2x4GB 1866Hz
The problem is, when i started for the first time the PC i read in the display "Error 55", I tried with the RAM in dual channel (1:2)(1:3)(2:4)(3:4) and in single channel with only 1 ram.
What I can do now?Have you already reported this problem? I can't even get into the bios, in practice, I was not able to turn it on the PC.
For more info you can contact me. Thanks and let me know as soon as possible pls.

Do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed, if no change, try with another and different type of RAM.
consult with memory support test list from msi web page

[SOLVED] motherboard MSI Z77A-GD65 error code B2

hello,
I recently installed an MSI Z77A-GD65.
Here is my config:
- MSI Z77A-GD65
- I5 2500K + Noctua NH U12P-SE2
- KINGSTON Hyper X 1600 Mhz DDR3 4 x 2 GB
- 2 x SSD VERTEX 3 and 4
- POV GTX 660 Ultra Charged 2 go
- WD Caviar 500 GB
- Supply CORSAIR GAMING GS 600
- Case CM HAF932 advanced
I searched all the forums I have not found anything on my problem is the following.
at the first start (after installing the hardware) I got a black screen with the little bar at the top left flashing in the bottom right and "B2" then a black screen with the same small bar but not flashing. On my motherboard I have a set of code that runs and stops at B2. No BIOS.J 'tried everything:
- Move the graphics card
- Exchange up memories, play with the colors of slots, try with only 2 bar, try with 3 instead of 4 memories
- Disconnect the SSD and the HDD, change the connections at the plug SATA, try with HDD only
- Clear CMOS
- Start without devices connected (only with keyboard, mouse and screen)
- Check all my connections and CPU + Noctua
NOTHING .......................... I do not understand

Reading A0, it is at the point of OS loading. A0 is not an error.

Boot Loop Issues - MSI Z77A-GD65 - Solved

Picked myself up an MSI Z77A-GD65 as well as some Kingston 2x 4GB RAM sticks with a i5 2500k.
After getting everything installed, it just boot-loops on me showing me no boot menu, with a debug code of 55.
If I take out one of the RAM sticks and just use the #2 slot, it boots fine (but after starting windows, it flashes some blue screen and it boots again. I'm thinking that's only because I haven't installed any drivers and still have the old drivers from my motherboard. Yes/No?).
But as soon as I put the second stick in, it will not boot (swapped sticks and it boots fine with one stick). I've tried 1/3 and 2/4 and the only slot that seems to work is #2 (#4 slot won't boot with one stick in it). Tried each stick in each slot. 1/2 work, but 3/4 will not
I'm guessing this isn't a RAM issue but a MOBO issue? I sense an RMA in my future....

Can you take a good quality, in focus hi-rez picture of the socket and post it so we can see what you are talking about?
I would if I could. Best way I can describe it is that the pins are all kind of bent at an angle (imagine an L shape, but upside down). Now take the bottom of the L (where it's small and turns) and kind of bend that facing the ceiling. It's kind of like that...

Why is this thread in the Intel duo/quad section?
What are the amps on the PSU +12V rail(s)? And how old is it? Suggest to keep just the one RAM stick in the primary DIMM slot and do a fresh OS install with the Mode set to AHCI. BTW, what is the OS? 32 or 64 bit?
Good question. I think I was very tired/annoyed when I made this, and I guess I didn't look properly. If any mods can move it, or need me to take it down, I can.
PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703005
I don't have a problem doing a fresh install, but would like to make sure it's nothing else before hand. If I do a fresh install, and I still have to RMA the board, I would have to do another one to put all my old stuff back in, and I wouldn't really have a PC until the new board came (I mean I could still use it, but would have to re-install stuff and it seems like a bit of a pain if I don't *have to).

MSI Z77A-GD65 No Post

When I first started my new system, I did get a display and entered the BIOS. I changed the boot order to put my optical drive first, put in a live CD, restarted, and got a black screen. I ejected the CD, restarted, and got a black screen again. I didn't get a display again until I disconnected all my drives whereupon I got a map error and was able to get back into the BIOS. A web search indicated this is a bug that occurs when no drives are connected so I reconnected the drives, restarted, and got a black screen again. I disconnected the drives again and restarted but I got a black screen again (no map error this time). I tried connecting my monitor to the graphics card instead of the motherboard and that didn't work. I tried removing the graphics card and video capture card and that didn't work. I tried clearing the CMOS by pushing the button and even removing the battery for several minutes and that didn't work.
Here's where things get weird. I tried testing the RAM by pulling out one stick and the system kept restarting itself: it would turn on then power off a few seconds later then, after a few seconds, start up again, etc. I had to wait till it powered off and quickly pull out the power supply's cord to get it to stop. I removed that stick and put the other one in instead and the same endless loop of restarting happened again. When I put both sticks back in it stopped restarting.
Since I couldn't get into BIOS A, I switched to BIOS B and got a display again. There was no option to restore BIOS A so I was forced to continue using BIOS B. Since my graphics card was removed at this point, I changed the BIOS to IGD instead of PEG for graphics and shut down. I reconnected my drives then restarted and got a display again and entered the BIOS. I changed the boot order to put my optical drive first, put in a live CD, restarted, and got a black screen. I ejected the CD, restarted and got a black screen. I disconnected the drives and restarted hoping I would get a map error and could get back into the BIOS but got a black screen again. I've tried switching back to BIOS A but still can't get a display.
I tested the RAM by putting it in my old desktop one stick at a time, and then both sticks at once, and it worked fine. I installed the optical drive and one of the hard drives into my old desktop and successfully installed and booted linux off of it with the no problems. The second hard drive does appear to be borked and my old desktop froze when I tried to boot with that drive installed. However I've tried starting my new system multiple times without that damaged drive connected and I still get a black screen so I don't see how it could be the problem.
The LED on the motherboard mostly alternates between 19 and 72. It will run through a bunch of codes too quickly to read then pause for a second on 19 (Early South Bridge Initialization) then run through a bunch of codes too quickly to read then pause for a second on 72 (Late South Bridge Initialization) then go back to 19, etc. I've sometimes also seen it pause for a second on 55 (Early Memory Initialization) and 4F (which doesn't appear in the manual).
I'm guessing it has to be the motherboard or CPU but I don't know which. I don't have another motherboard to test the CPU on and no other CPU to test on this motherboard (the old desktop is AMD).
Hardware:
MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard
Intel Core i5-3570K CPU
G.Skill DDR3-1600 CL9 1.5v 4096MB (x2) RAM (tested in old desktop)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB hard drive (tested in old desktop)
Pioneer BDR-208DBK blu-ray drive (tested in old desktop)
Corsair Obsidian 550D case
Seasonic G Series 550W power supply
Samsung S23B550V monitor (tested with old desktop)

Test each stick in Dimm 2 (2nd from the cpu) Make sure they are installed into DIMMS 2 & 4 (2nd from cpu and last)
Did you try a full cmos clear on Bios A?
If so, you can recover using this guide:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160450.0
With the z77a-gd65, you will need to flash bios B to version 10.5. In that version in the security section is a multi bios update. Use that and it will recover bios A.
For bios flashing: >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

Z77A-GD65 Win7 64bit boot fail followingMSI Live Update 5 Firmware update

Hi,
For some reason I decided to have a go with MSI Live Update 5 auto update today (having not used it previously in the 1.5years I've owned this system.
Running in Win 7 64 bit, it performed an 'update' and then the system completely crashed (as in turned off and on again). On reboot the system only went as far as the BIOS flash screen.
It failed to boot form the SSD boot drive and a message saying "Reboot with Proper Boot Drive".
I booted into BIOS (version 10.11) and the boot drive is still recognised.
I tried a reboot and the same error.
I tried to boot backup within BIOS and saw a message flash that ended with "Failed to initialize MSI-X".
None of the MSI applications work, it doesn't boot into Windows and I'm stuck.
Can anyone suggest how I might be able to get Windows back and running without having to do a full reinstall? I can't seem to get the backup software to work now so I'm a bit stuck. If I try and do a full flash of the drive and start again, will it fix the issue or is the problem with the motherboard/bios setup?
Has anyone else had this problem?
System spec:
MSI Z77A-GD65

YES
OK, so I found a few people on Tom's Hardware message board that seem to have the same issue with this latest BIOS update from MSI so at least it's not just me.
I reset CMOS
I set BIOS to default
I downloaded the BIOS ME from an older version 10.8 of BIOS that I knew worked fine (from another computer)
Flashed BIOS with USB
Booted the system with Win7 64 OEM CD
Selected Repair Mode
Let it do its thing
I'm back in business from where I left off.
Won't be touching the BIOS update again unless I can be absolutely sure its going to be stable on my MB.
RE: Legacy and UEFI
After installing 10.11, it defaulted to UEFI only but I changed the setting to Legacy and UEFI. It didn't fix the issue though.
I've rolled back, it works again so I'm happy other than the fact I've lost almost a full day of work over it.

MSI Z77A-GD65 going crazy after Windows 8/8.1 installation.

Hey so I decided to buy a new SSD and update my system to Windows 8.1 (coming from 7), mainly for optimal BF4 gaming experience, (I also intend buying a 290X lightning or two when they come out...) . But during the process I encountered a truckload of problems, my main one is this: I was using bios version 10.7 for almost a year, with a stable 4.8GHz OC (which I managed to get done after each bios flash since I built the rig in early 2012), everything went great - this was on Windows 7.
However when I migrated to Windows 8.1 my PC wouldn't boot anymore and after 5-6 attempts it did boot and it said that all my settings were reset to default, fine. I restarted and from then on it wouldn't boot anymore no matter what. The error code on the mobo is always "19" which in manual says it's Early South Bridge initialization. I have no ideea what to do anymore, I tried plugging out SSD, HDDs, GPUs, RAM sticks, clearing cmos with back panel button. It all boiled down to either not booting or going into a boot loop.
My only solution was to switch to bios B on the multi-bios switch which is running 10.2 an almost 2 years old bios. That beeing said I can boot normally now (and fast), and the system runs great but the bios version is so old that it does not let my 2x680 MSI Lightnings work in PCIE 3.0, only 2.0...
So i'm VERY scared of what to do next, because I don't want this second bios to corrupt as well.
I always flashed my bios with Live update 5, I did this with each new bios release and never had a problem but I read that the latest bios, 10.10 is buggy, and I don't know HOW to flash my bios to an earlier version, maybe even 10.7 or 10.8 in another way. Is there a way to safely flash BOTH bioses and to repair my A bios at the same time?
TL'DR, if there isn't any safe solution to my problem I might as well just press in OC Genie button and have a mild OC until sometimes next year when I'll get a new mb + cpu + ram anyway. But if there is one, please let me know.
Any imput is apreciated, THANKS!

New MSi Z77A - GD65 DIMM problem

I was wondering if anybody else has a similar experience with this.
My build:
i7 - 3770k 3.4 ghz
MSi z77A - GD65
MSi 760 Geforce GTX 4GB VRAM
Rosewill Xtreme RX750 - D - B
3 x 4 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM
So everything wrongs except for the DIMM. The two DIMMs closest to the CPU causes the system to not POST. The debug stays at 55 which indicates that there's no memory. When I installed two sticks into the slots furthest away from the CPU, it boots up just fine.
I tried booting up with one stick in the DIMM furthest away from the CPU for each ram stick. They all result in the system booting up just fine. I tried using 4 x 2 gb RIPJAW ram sticks and again the system errors at 55. The common denominator here is that the two DIMM slots closest to the CPU are not working and causing everything to freak out.
This is my theory on what's going on. I have no idea how to fix this other than returning the board for a new one. Hopefully I can get some suggestions or advice on what to do from here. Maybe my mobo isn't broken, and it's just me doing something wrong. I certainly hope so because I'm a pretty lazy dude. Bought this board because my other mobo didn't boot up. Now this board isn't reading my memory. What gives??? Any help is appreciated.

Enter bios and check if the intel ME firmware is properly installed. If not it will show N/A in the bios.
My PC with the regular Z77A-GD65 worked flawless for a year, then I had problems. My gcard died and I had massive bootproblems. I tried a lot to figure out the reasons. All I could come up with was a faulty board or incompatible memory, like you think you have. I switched from 4x4Gb to 2x8 Gb in slots 2 + 4, but it didn't help.
After I noticed Intel ME firmware wasn't installed, I tried that. I used the forum tool and most important: I used a bios version with Intel ME firmware included. Downloaded it from an attachment in these forums (so don't download bios versions from the official MSI website!). I flashed the bios and everything worked great again!
Try that first, before you start inspecting CPU pins or change to different memory. I installed BIOS version 10.8B3 (beta), but watch out, I think your gaming edition of the Z77A-GD65 has a different bios. Check the forums which (beta) version is the most reliable.

Z77A-GD65 - Won't boot

Hi all,
I'm trying to boot my pc but for some reason doesn't work.
Board: MSI Z77A-GD65 ver. 2.1
Bios: ? (I do not know because I never get into the bios)
VGA: XFX ATI HD 5770 1Gb (tested with and without)
PSU: Corsair GS600 (CMPSU-600G)
Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770K 3.5Ghz 8MB LGA1155 BX80637I73770K (tested and ok)
MEM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz - CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10 (tested with and without)
HDD: 2x Western WD10EARS 1TB Green (tested with and without)
COOLER: Cooler master V6 GT and intel stock cooler (tested both)
OC: none
OS: none
When I turn on my pc, LED1 lights up and after 5 secs restarts. When is restarting, two another leds blinks, one near multi-bios swtich and the other near JFP1.
No code appear on the debug display.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

>>Posting Guide<<
please give a more detailed list of parts your using in your machine as what you post is always the only thing we have to base any reply on as we do not have your actual machine to see what is there!
1: possibly bad or incompatible memory so what memory you using?
2: what PSU do you have as it may just be that there isn't enougth power to fuel the machine (give us the +12V rail/s rating/s)?
3: have you connected the 8pin CPU power header and is it fully seated?
4: have you tried the board outside of your case on a non conductive surface?
5: have you checked the CPU socket to see if any of the small connection pins are bent with a bright light and a magnifier as thats a common problem?

Connection drops - MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming

Hello there.
I've tried to search for a similar issue on the forums, and the interwebs in general, without any luck.
So recently I upgraded almost all the parts in my old computer, including the motherboard which is now a MSI z77A-GD65 gaming motherboard.
So, after my new setup, I'm having troubles with internet connection losses during gameplay.
The connection losses only lasts for around 5-10 seconds before I'm connected to the internet again, and it happens from every half an hour, to not at all, but it is an annoyance when playing games, as you can imagine.
I've been in contact with my internet provider every couple of days for the past week to see if it was a problem at their end. Although I got a new router, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the connection in general. They couldn't see anything on their end at least. And if I plug my laptop to the router via cable, I don't get the dropouts either.
So.. I'm faaairly certain it has something to do with the new hardware, more specifically, the motherboard. But I am not sure.
What I have done, is to check the connection, obviously.
I have also updated all drivers, using the LiveUpdate 5 tool that came with the motherboard (which was pretty intense since it updated the BIOS as well, and after that I couldn't boot until I reset the pins).
Anyways, drivers updated, couldn't find more recent ones.
I've checked if there has been a problem with the servers at the game company of the game I am playing, not the issue either.
Also, the yellow "warning triangle" at the connection icon in the taskbar is also showing for the brief moment of 5-10 seconds (not enough to do a troubleshoot)
I didn't have any problems with connection drops with my old computer, even at 8-9 hour gaming sessions.
Note that there doesn't seem to be any pattern in when the connection drops, as it can be from every half hour, to not at all during an evening of gaming. And there is no connection between what I am currently doing in the games I play, when the connection drops.
I hope you can help me out, because I have no clue at this point.
/thanks

SOLUTION for my problems with MSI Z77A-GD65 + MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC

Lately I had problems with my GTX 670 video card (MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC) under Windows 7 Pro x64.
I got a lot of "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" errors.
I had these errors once or twice a day, so I didn't really bother looking for an answer, also I couldn't reproduce the error.
Most games just worked fine, but not always... so I tried if I could reproduce the error.
I tried to stress test with MSI Kombustor and voila no windows error... noo... but the core voltage went to 0 mV within a minute and everything (screen / windows / kombustor) stuttered and I had to restart the system.
The strange thing was that the voltage went to 0 mV, but the GPU load went from 96% - 60% and back to 96%... why and how is this possible??
Now I could reproduce my problem... yes!
First I thought it was a driver problem, because I updated it to the newest version (310.70), so I tried to re-install an older driver and also the original MSI driver... no luck.
Maybe it could be a mainboard driver or some settings in windows, so I installed Windows 8... no luck.
Re-installed Windows 7 Pro x64 (basically because Windows 8 s*cks)... no luck.
I tried to put my video card in another system and there was no problem... so I thought my video card is not broken...
Maybe it's my my power supply... new power supply... no luck again... grrrr...
My solution was downgrading / flashing my mainboard (MSI Z77A-GD65) bios back to 1.5 instead of 1.7, because yes... live update had updated my bios... that was the problem.
I wanted to post this, because I couldn't really find the answer for my problem and maybe I can help a few people with the same configuration and problems.
Live well and... well you get the idea

Don't use TF II/TF III parts as they won't fit. Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II or Accelero Mono PLUS are good value for money aftermarket solutions.
Thank you for the information and advice. As I was looking into those two, I noticed that Accelero's website claimed the Accelero Xtreme III would also fit, and NewEgg had it on sale, so that is what I wound up purchasing. It works quite well and is MUCH quieter than the Twin Frozr IV, even before the grinding noise started.
For anyone else considering this, please be aware that the Xtreme III is monstrously huge (it adds several inches to the length of the MSI N670 PE). Make sure you have plenty of room in your case for it.

You turn the system on and the cpu power flow led's flicker until they settle at just led's 1 and 2. The alarm led never turns on. Nothing comes on the screen, yet the monitor senses a signal. Any ideas what could be the culprit here??? My last MSI mobo has been running since 2003 so I'm kind of stumped here... By what I've read it could be the power supply, but I'm stumped... Please help!

Swap out the discrete graphics card and try with the onboard. Remove the power cord, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS, if it will now get in the UEFI/BIOS, reset boot order and other settings, retest. I believe the 37 is the CPU temp reading beginning with some of the newer BIOS releases? Monitor or VGA might be the culprit.

SATA controller on MSI Z77A-GD65

Hi there
I have an MSI Z77A-GD65 board and sometimes my computer takes several minutes to boot into a working OS despite the fact that the OS is on an SSD. I have this same issue with normal, platter drives. This issue does not occur all the time, but when it does occur, the entire system is indescribably slow.
I have unplugged hard drives, swapped ports around, etc. and this does not seem to help. I suspect the Intel SATA controller is out of wack. Using the very latest drivers. Can anyone with similar experiences perhaps assist to shed light on this very weird issue?

Are you running in AHCI mode?
If so, try flashing the bios to either the latest bios or full release. We have both posted here:
>>Beta BIOSes<<
Be sure to use the forum flash tool and follow the directions so that the ME extension is flashed as well.
