MSI z77a-gd65 error 55 with 4 DIMMs installed

While I did find another thread similar to my issue mine is a little different as all slots are functional.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=158224.msg1162108#msg1162108
If I install 4 DIMMs the board shows "55" on the debug LEDs. If I take out any two DIMMs (slots 1,3 or slots 2,4) the system boots fine and is completely stable. I can also have either pair install to either set of slots. I also made sure the memory timing, voltage, etc. where set correctly in the BIOS.
Any suggestions?

That it works when slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 are used, points to a problem an updated UEFI/BIOS may or may not resolve. Recommend to contact MSI Technical with your findings and see what they recommend or have to say about it;

Well it appears to be a problem with the RAM. I just happen to be building another system with an asrock board and 16GB of G.Skill RAM. swapped RAM into my system and the G.Skill works perfectly in my z77a-gd65 board with all four slots populated. The Corsair RAM produces the exact same behavior when install in the asrock board. I'm just going to RMA the RAM.

[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.

2 x R7870 Hawk with MSI Z77A-GD65 MB in CrossFire Crashes

Hi,
I can't get Corssfire to work, as soon as an app tries to use 3D the system hard crashes, blue screens or reboots.
When I load GPU-Z the system freezes.
My system config is:
Windows 7 64 Bit
Intel Core i7-3770K
8 GB RAM
180GB INTEL SSD
MSI Z77A-GD65 MB with Bios version 10.5
2 x MSI R7870 Hawk in CF
1000 watt OCZ power supply
- Each card on its own works fine.
- I have lowered the clock speed to spec (1000Mhz)
- Using ATI Catalyst 12.8
- Cards are installed on PCI_E2 & PCI_E5 slots
- No monitors are connected to second GPU
This is a fresh system, no other drivers have been installed.
Anybody else have this problem?
Motherboard and 2 Graphics cards are all MSI.
What is the best way to uninstall ATI Catalyst so I can try older drivers?
Are the drivers ATI drivers on MSI website different to the ones on AMD's website?

Use >>Driver Fusion<< in Safe Mode to remove current VGA drivers.
Then install the latest drivers from MSI: http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R7870-Hawk.html#/?div=Driver&os=All
Try again
MSI drivers are verified for the MSI product they are offered for.

Z77A-GD65 issues with Geforce GTX 780 Video Card

Hey Guys,
I have a issue with a new PC build.
I think it may be a driver or BIOS setting issue, I hope
I bought a MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard and below are the specs:
- Intel Core i7-2600 CPU 3.4 Ghz
- BIOS Version E4451IMS V10.8
- Balistix Sport 8GB sticks (Total of 24 GB memory installed)
- Kentek 875w power supply
- Geforce GTX 780 Graphics Card
My problem is with the Geforce GTX 780 video card, I installed a fresh install of Windows 7 64 bit and
everything runs and works fine,but when i install the Geforce GTX 780 video card and install the
drivers its all good up to this point but when i restart the computer i get this message in the device
manager ""Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (code 43)"
I have installed different versions of the driver, a few older and few newer versions with the same
outcome.
I tried to flash the BIOS to the latest version 10.11 but had problems with it picking up my harddrive
after it flashed successfully. I even checked the boot up setting and it all looked good just would not
boot up, so i had to revert back to the v10.8 BIOS version for it to work.
I'm not sure if there is a setting in the BIOS that i need to turn on or off. I'm not familar with this BIOS,
is there a place in it so i can see if the BIOS is picking up the video card, it has to or Windows would
not see it right?
I'm stumped here, do you guys know of a Geforce driver version that works well with this video card?
I truely think the card is fine because when i install the card to the motherboard i dont get any weird
issues until the driver is installed and Windows is restarted.
I would greatly appreciate any help and advise that you guys can give me.
Thanks alot

UPDATE
Well i wanted to post an update on my new build issue.
Here are my specs:
I bought a MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard with BIOS v10.8
- Intel Core i7-2600 CPU 3.4 Ghz
- BIOS Version E4451IMS V10.8 (i had a issue with the newest BIOS flash v10.11 it wouldn't detect the harddrive, could figure that one out so i went back to v10.8)
- Balistix Sport 8GB sticks (Total of 32 GB memory installed) I first had 3 sticks so i got another 8GB stick to fill all 4 banks for total of 32 GB
- Corsair Professional Series 860 Watt Digital ATX/EPS Modular 80 PLUS Platinum Power Supply AX860i (Bought this PS to replace the Kentek PS)
- N780 TF 3GD5/OC (GeForce GTX 780 GAMING) (traded Geforce GTX 780 card for the MSI version of the GTX 780 card)
OK... I got the new Corsair 860w power supply installed and i installed the new MSI GTX 780 video card with the specs above everything installed fine no problems and my son was playing the Bio Shock Infinite game on Steam and about 1 hour into the game he got a blue screen of death, says something like "to prevent damage windows is now resetting" and it turns off so fast can't read the rest of the message.
I'm going to here in a little bit and update all device drivers with MSI Live update utility and also update the motherboard BIOS again to v10.11.
I'm really confused here, I'm also going to take out some memory and try to run it with sticks only in slot 2 & 4 to see if it runs more stable like that, also should i update the video card to the latest driver, i know the latest is not always the greatest driver.
I want to think you guys again for your help & time with this issue. I really dont know what else to do here, everything is new in this PC.
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.

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.

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.

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)

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 Error 55

Hello!
I am new to this forum since I haven't had an MSI mainboard before.
So I bought this pc this xmas and it has been working fine, since today...
I was using it as normal and was gonna try the Super Charger program to charge my iPad. Activated it and powered off my pc. Tried to see if it would charge my iPhone while it was powered off and then I turned the pc back on again. This time it started for a short moment and then shut down again as if I made some change to the bios settings. And after that it was stuck in an infinite loop of rebooting.
I was looking at the debugging console and noticed the Error 55.
Tried with only 1 ram installed in every slot also two at a time in 1-3 and 1-4 slots.
But no luck. The pc won't boot and I don't get a POST screen.
Also tried without any ram installed at all, then I get another error, 20 or 22 something.
Tried resetting CMOS and using the secondary bios thing on my motherboard, but nothing works.
Is the mainboard broken?
Really appreciate some help!
Thank you!

No bent pins on the cpu. Tried all the mem's individually in dimm2 but no go :/
So could the conclusion be a faulty mainboard?
Called the computer store I bought it from today and explained it to them, so they want me to send the whole computer so they can see what the problem might be :<
Did you check the cpu or Socket? You would want to check the pins in the socket with a bright light and magnfying glass.

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....

Quote from: XFM on 24-December-12, 08:29:56
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.

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 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.

I just found a post of mine (from another forum) from when the error 19 thing first started, this is what happend:
Quote
I decided to buy a new SSD and update my system to Windows 8.1 (coming from 7). And I encountered a truckload of problems, my main one is this: I was using bios version 10.7 for almost a year, with a nice 4.8GHz OC stable, 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 bolied 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 that is almost 2 years old. That beeing said I can boot normally now, but the bios version is so old...
As you can see it had nothing to do with me doing a bad BIOS flash, actually not even the OC... isn't there perhaps a way to fix that A BIOS?

Z77A-GD65 Error 55 / Power On Loop

Woke up this morning and my Z77A-GD65 wont boot.. Powers on then restarts in a continous power on loop.
System has been working fine for last 3 months and has not been overclocked
Error 55 = no ram detected
Tried three different sticks of memory all from different vendors and all ram slots and the same problem persists.
Tried a celereon g540 and still the problem persists.
Have resest cmos via onboard button and by taking out the battery and problem persists.
Power supply is working fine on other system..
Ram Cpu Vga hard drives are tested and are working in other systems just fine
Any Ideas ??
Setup =
Intel 3770k | MSI Z77A-GD65 | 2x 8gb Crucial Ballistix Elite DDR3 RAM @ 1600mhz 1.5v | 1x Sapphire HD7950 3gb | Corsair HX750 V2 PSU | Acer 24" LCD display @ 1920x1200 | Windows 7 Pro. 64

Test with a single RAM stick in the DIMM2 slot, disconnect all HDD's and ODD's, remove any external devices other than mouse and keyboard. Will it POST now? If not, with power off, connect the OS HDD, switch to the backup BIOS chip and see if it will POST and boot the OS.
Here's how to fix the BIOS chip if it is corrupted;
