New build with MSI 970A-G45 won't load OS or live CD

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G45 AM3+ AMD 970
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana 3.3 Ghz Socket AM3
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 2x4GB DDR3 1866, Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
Video Card (original): ASUS ENGTX550 TI DC/DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Video Card (operational): XFX 7600 GT
System HD: Runcore 64GB Sata II SSD
Optical Drive: LITE-ON SATA DVD-RW drive
I just finished building a new upgrade build into an existing case with an existing PSU and hard drives/optical drive. Originally the system wouldn't power on at all, which I traced to the new video card (something to do with grounding or an inadequate power supply maybe?), but in any case I got past that for the moment with my old video card. The system will power on and get to the BIOS screen. I can enter the BIOS and everything looks fine: all my drives are detected, the RAM is present, the CPU looks correct. However, when I go to actually load an operating system, it never loads. After the BIOS screen I just get a blank screen with a white blinking cursor in the upper-left corner, and this never goes away (I've tried leaving it for 10 minutes or more).
Originally I was trying to boot from the mentioned SSD which has both Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7 64-bit partitions installed with GRUB2 to load them. This didn't load, so I tried an Ubuntu 11.04 live CD in my DVD-ROM drive. That didn't work, so I tried the same CD in an external USB CD-ROM drive in case it was a problem with the SATA controller/connectors. Still the same behavior. So I tried a memtest86+ CD in both drives. Still the same behavior. For each of the tests after the first I explicitly opened the boot menu with F11 at the BIOS screen and selected the device I wanted to try.
At this point I've already tried exchanging the memory I had originally bought with the memory I listed above, since the old memory I realized after I bought it was labelled as "Intel i5/i7 compatible" and the new memory is on the MSI support list for this motherboard model. Any thoughts on where to go next? My next thought was to RMA the motherboard but I feel like I'm flying blind here. I've never see a new build get stuck at this point in the boot process.

OK posting from Ubuntu on my now-working build!!
So, after two weeks of messing around with the CPU, RAM, video card, etc., I finally have the thought that the one thing I haven't tried yet is the old SATA expansion PCI card that I put in early on at the bottom of the motherboard underneath the video card (out of direct sight, out of mind apparently), for when I try to connect all 7 of my SATA devices. I tried pulling that out - presto, it boots. Retried a couple of times for proof, keeps booting correctly. It can even load memtest86+ off a CD. Put the PCI card back in - still boots. Reconnected the sata drive - no boot. Remembered that this particular PCI card has two SATA ports and one is for RAID of some kind, tried the other port - now it boots. The drive connected to the card is also detected by the OS.
In conclusion, it was something entirely different from what I was working on, as it usually is.
I'm going to get to work connecting everything back up, getting the new video card working, etc. I suspect I'll be back at least to read when I try to get my memory working at 1866 (different forum I know). Thanks to those who responded for the pointers.

  • Msi 970a-g45 won't enter setup

    I just put together a brand new system. Components are as follows:
    MSI 970A-G45 mobo
    AMD FX 4100 3.6Ghz
    GeForce GTX 550-Ti video card
    (2) 2GB DDR3 1600 memory
    When I first put this system together, I set my 3 hard drives as a raid 5 and then proceeded to install windows. First it told me I needed a dvdrom driver which I thought was funny because that's what the windows disk was running in. I restarted several times and I got a boot failure and when I restarted it again one of my harddrives disappeared. After unplugging and replugging several times I finally got them all to show up again but then it wouldn't let me back into bios. It froze several times at the entering setup screen. I tried resetting cmos and no results. I pulled the memory down to one stick and got into bios again but it hasn't reset anything other than the date. Windows 7 boot disk still won't run and I don't know what else to do with it. I have used this disk to recently set up 4 other computers and have eventually gotten all the other bugs worked out. What else can I do to insure that this will work?

    Use as few components as possible when installing Windows: No doubles or extras or other unnecessary things. Add the unnecessary things afterwards.

  • MSI 970A-G45 will not complete POST

    Every so often, out of the blue, the system won't boot up.
    Hitting reset doesn't help, disconnecting the power and letting it sit doesn't help.
    The system powers on, begins it's POST, but after initializing the drives (HDD light flashes, CD ROM light comes on, goes off) it cycles again (right about the time it should initialize the video, it seems to loop back to the beginning of the POST - so I don't get any POST codes on the screen when this happens). It cycles through, initializes the drives again, and then starts over. IF however I pull either stick of RAM, it then will get past this, and continue on with the post. I can shut the system off as soon as I see the keyboard lights flash, re-insert the RAM, power up, and it's all back to normal. Resetting the CMOS does the same thing, but if I pull a RAM stick, then I don't have to set up the CMOS again. I have tried other RAM, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

    Again, if it was the PSU, the board wouldn't "lock" in the looped state, and disconnecting all the drives would release it from any power induced failure if that was the issue, and as I posted before, disconnecting all the drives will not release the board from it's locked state. In my previous posts, I also stated that this failure happened before the system had all these drives in it. Another point, people have been underestimating power supplies for years - which is good for the manufacturers of high end power supplies, but bad news for our wallets. My power supply can support this system, plus about another 10 or more hard drives before things would get dodgy. This is something I have tested quite extensively since the late 80's when IBM PCs were still using 63W supplies, but everyone wanted a 150W in their "clones".
    It should also be noted that the 5V and 12V rails are isolated from the voltages used by the processor and RAM. They aren't even connected to the same electrolytic capacitors.
    in short, "If your car still rattles when the engine is off, the problem isn't the gas you are using!"
     PS - thanks for the advice so far, but since it's happened with 2 different supplies and under much less load, we need to stop focusing on the power supply. For the record, I ran the numbers again, and under 60% load (which is triple the average load on this thing when not editing video) I could add 10 more high rpm SATA hard disks and still be drawing under 600W. Yes, hard disks draw a lot of short term power at spin up, but power supplies can supply well beyond their maximum rating for short periods of time, so it balances out!
    While I am at it, I thought I'd let you all "meet the beast".

  • MSI 970A-G45 reboot issues

    Just did an upgrade to my PC.
    Running the following:
    MSI 970A-G45
    Athlon Phenom X4 955 at Stock speeds(used from previous rig)
    Corsair Vengeance 8GB PC12800 DDR3 1600MHz at Stock speeds(new)
    XFX Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5(new)
    OCZ 120GB SOLID 3 SERIES SATA III 2.5 Hard Drive
    Sony DVDRW 24x(used from previous rig)
    BFG 550W PSU(used from previous rig)
    Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
    Here's the issue. Sometimes when I restart the PC, it never comes back up. It goes down like normal, then I have no video signal and it just sits there. It's doesn't happen all the time though, which is perplexing. When it does not come back up, I can simply hit the reset button and then it starts to boot up. Apparently it has all the latest BIOS and drivers according to MSI Live update. So at this point I have no idea what to try in order to get this thing to restart normally every time. I guess I shouldn't be too concerned considering I don't reboot a lot...?...?
    P.S. I am not overclocking anything. Processor and RAM are running at stock speeds.
    P.S.S. I do have two USB hard drives hooked up. Could one or both of them be causing the random reboot issue?
    P.S.S.S. Although I mentioned the USB drives, I never had this reboot issue prior to upgrading to this motherboard, video card and ram.
    THANKS!

    Hello,
    Having the same issue with similar hardware.  PC will boot cold and shutdown like it should but restarting most of the time causes the system to hang with no video but the fans run and MB LED's are still lit.  Pressing the reset causes the video to restore and POST and a normal boot.  I tried an old video card to eliminate a video card problem but it does the same thing.  Here is the hardware I'm running, I just built it today.
    MSI 970A-G45
    AMD Phenom II x4 955 BE (not OC)
    MSI AMD Radeon 6770 1GB DDR5 (Not OC)
    Kingston  HyperX Blue 4GB DDR3 PN:KHX1333C9D3B1/4G
    LiteON 24x DVDRW (SATA)
    WD Caviar Blue 6.0GB/S 250GB HDD
    Cooler Master Extreme Power plus 500W PSU
    I would post CPU-Z stats but I cant figure out how to attach images. help?
    Areamike,
    To adjust the command rate you have to go into the overclock tab and go into advanced DRAM config.  If I can remember right you may have to adjust another setting away from AUTO to be able to access this menu.  (i would be able to tell you for sure but I cant look at BIOS and be on the forum typing at the same time.lol)  After having this problem I read a lot of reviews with people having trouble with this board, hopefully its just a setup problem for us.

  • New build with big bang x-power board. Any help welcome and appreciated.

    Started new build with big bang x-power board, i7 960 processor, 3 x 4gb mushkin cl7 ram and imation m-class 128gb solid state drive running Windows 7 ultimate x64. This particular SSD is probably just temporary. Since I don't have the SSD I really want (yet) and this 1 was given to me at no cost, by a friend who really hated it, I thought it would suit my current needs. The specs & reviews were not encouraging, but they were not exactly "terrible" either.
    Anyway, I was unable to install the OS on the Imation drive, while connected to a sata2 port. Got repeat bsod despite many variations in settings, including fail safe defaults. After clearing cmos and switching to a sata3 port, I got it to install no problem after putting settings back to cpu voltge: 1.35, dram voltage: 1.65, mode: AHCI and all others: default with only 1 RAM module seated.
    So... I think this may be a BIOS issue and was hoping someone could point me to the most recent BIOS version available for me to update my BBXP board. I believe v1.6 is what i'm looking for, unless my info is outdated. Since my plan is ultimately to run the OS from an SSD using a sata2 port, I definitely want to resolve this, and hopefully any other issues with the v1.0 BIOS that I just haven't encountered yet.

    Thanks again HU16E, and sorry for any confusion and/or lack of information. I'm guess you can tell i'm still new at this, but I'll try to do better with specifics in the future   -please forgive me.
    SSD = Solid State Drive. The brand of this particular solid state drive is "Imation" and the series is "M-Class." It is a sataII device that would not install the OS while connected to any of the sataII ports on the board. Initial attempt was made with all settings on auto. When that didn't work, I adjusted voltages because it seemes unstable with repeat freezes and restarts. The install seemed to start ok with adjusted voltages but still would not complete.
    I then moved the sataII drive to a sataIII (marvell) port, put all settings back on auto and the install went further (loaded files, copied files, expanded files, etc) but would froze several times during windows start up attempt. I then changed cpu & dram voltages back to the adjusted values I tried when the drive was connected to the sataII port and everything worked fine. Tested under load for 4 hours and no problems of any kind. Its still working now. I do however suspect I will have many more problems when I move the solid state back to a sataII port, or when I add my other Hard Disk Drives.
    BIOS version showed: 1.0.0 but i can check again to assure I didn't misread anything in my haste. If i'm mistaken, I will post the correction. Hope I answered everything the way you wanted & didn't just make matters worse and more confusing  lol.  thanks for the link as well, i'll check on it asap

  • Freezing issues with MSI 970A-G43 and AMD FX 8320

    Hey all,
    I bought my brother a new system a few days ago, but he has had serious issues with the machine crashing ever since.
    The machine has had a fresh installation of Windows 7, it has all the latest drivers for both motherboard, sound, chipset and video card (Latest VGA driver tested as well as the latest Beta version)
    I thought the problem might be with the VGA card, as the computer would just shut off during 3d Gaming, but it also seems to happen when surfing the internet or doing normal "2d" activities
    What happens is the computer will just seemingly shut off, the LED lights on the front of the case, around the dials, start blinking and the only way to get it back up again, is to turn if off at the power supply unit and then turn it back on again.
    I'll paste in what my brother sent me (As I live in the UK and can't see the machine crashing myself), he said:
    I dunno what the issue is but, last night the comp just shut off in middle of game play on 3 different games, and the lights were flashing, I had to turn complete power off to the power box and back on to restart comp, I kept checking all my temps with speccy and speed fan and nothing seemed high at all, also when it shuts off and I re start it, a lot of my desktop icons move around to different spots,
    Update: crashed a few times on me, once playing euro, once just browsing Internet 5 min after the first one, changed out ram just for shots and giggles and ran euro on ultra for about 5 min and crashed. I dl a gpu monitor gadget, was accurate on temp but said the gpu was 0% but with just Internet would randomly jump to 99% or 40% then back to 0 and would stay and eventually crash
    Spec is:
    AMD FX-8320 3.5GHZ EIGHT CORE
    500GB SATA III 6GB/S 7200RPM 16MB
    COOLERMASTER SEIDON 120M WATER COOLER
    4Gb DDR3 / 1600 MHZ MEMORY
    MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 CROSSFIRE AM3+ DDR3 USB 3.0 SATA
    CORSAIR 500 WATTS CX500 V2 80 PLUS POWER SUPPLY
    ASUS XONAR DG 5.1 CHANNELS PCI XONAR DG SOUND CARD
    AMD RADEON 7750 2GB PCI-E
    There was a concern I did have when I did search earlier, via a thread on Tomshardware in which a similiar board had issues with the FX8350's wattage going above the stated 125 watts and causing the board to freeze.
    It's a different board/chip, but I wonder if the wattage of the CPU goes above 125W and causes problems on the board? Hmm
    I feel really guilty right now, because I bought this for him as a present, it was $700ish plus shipping etc and it's been nothing but problems ever since.
    I'm going to see what version of Bios he's running when he gets out of bed, but the Live Update software said there were no updates, but I'll have him check manually.
    Another issue I noted, was I sent him some ram before the PC arrived, which was:
    XMS3 — 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1333C9)
    He originally put that ram in with the existing 4gb of ram, so I thought it "Might" be a conflict, due to them having a different Mhz value
    So I had him remove the 4gb stick that came with the PC
    As soon as he entered the bios, it froze and did so twice
    So he removed that ram and put back the original 4gb stick and the bios worked
    No idea if the two are related.

    I hope this doesn't count as necro-ing a thread (last post was in October), but it's the one closest to my situation.
    I have the following setup:
    MSI 970a-g43 motherboard
    AMD FX-6300 cpu
    ATI Radeon HD 4550 graphics card
    4x 2GB RAM sticks
    2x 500 GB 3.5" SATA hard drives
    CoolMax 700W psu
    16x r/rw DVD burner
    cheapo SD and others card reader that fits in the floppy drive bay
    Older PC tower that has a temperature sensor built into it
    I built it around November 15th, and it worked until a couple days ago (December 12th I think), when it started doing the sudden shut-off thing. Same as Adresch described: shuts off, tower light blinks, have to flip the i/o switch off and back on to boot again. I consulted a friend for some suggestions, and he said I should put a water cooler in there, because the stock heatsink that comes with most processors are junk. So I went out and bought a Corsair H55 water cooler and installed that.
    The computer seemed to run for a bit longer before shutting off. I loaded up the BIOS software, SpeedFan, and HWMonitor. SF said the CPU was running average of 48*C, and GPU was averaging 51*C. The CPU's highest was at 61*C and its lowest was 36*C. BIOS software said CPU was at 35*C the whole time. HWMonitor listed the GPU at 51*C, and the CPU at 7*C. These are all very inconsistent with each other as far as I can tell, so I don't know what to make of these readings. Didn't seem to much matter as the computer continued shutting off.
    My options then being replacing the PSU or the motherboard, I decided to replace the power supply, since I was just within the 30 days. Switched for a ThermalTake TR2 700W. Before installing it, I pulled the tower's CPU temperature sensor wire from between the water cooler heatsink and the CPU, just in case. Then I installed the PSU, checked and rechecked all of the connections, and turned it on.
    Nothing.
    I then spent the next two hours rechecking everything, even unplugging everything and putting it back together. Still nothing. The best I could get was a flicker of the tower light and the fans doing a quarter turn before ceasing movement. The red LED on the front of the SD card reader stayed on the entire time, though, so I guess it was getting at least a trickle of power. I also removed everything but the PSU, motherboard, CPU, and one stick of RAM. Still no power. I think the new PSU may have been open box, so I'm returning it today for a different one, and even bumping it up to 850W.
    I'm not sure that will solve my original issue though, so I'll be looking for a heatsink to put on the VRMS as mentioned. Just thought I'd get this down in a relevant thread in case anyone had other thoughts on what could be going on.

    Using it along an AMD card is quite useless and therefor results maybe wrong. Try the 210 alone in the other slot. Also please list system specs: >>Posting Guide<<

  • New Build using MSI 6600GT 256 PCI-E no Display

    Intel l775 p4 3.4 ghz on an Asus P5AD2- E Premium board, using MSI 6600gt 256mb PCI-E video card. 2gig Ram
    Done plenty of AMD builds using AGP cards so this is a little different for me!
    Have finished putting it all together.
    Upon power up for the first time im getting no output to monitor?
    card has Svideo out and two DVI conectors, im using an anoloug monitor using the DVI to anoulge converter thingy that is supplied.
    Monitor just displays no input detected, monitor is fine as works on old system..
    Many thanks

  • High latency with MSI 790XT-G45 under W7

    I have decided myself to go for W7 one one of my rigs.I ve got some genuine disks of 32 and 64 and loaded W7 for testing purposes .
    As my intention is to use the 790XT-G45 (considering it more W7 suited than my Platinum beeing newer more CPU support) tryed both W7 versions , but there is a problem.
    Using the DPC high latency tool i get like 100 us under any W7 version with this 790XT-G45.The same board is ok latency wise under XP ,it hovers around 10-20 us when you re not doing anything serious with it .I have to remind that on this board i ve also had some issues with the big mouse cursor thing that seems to be related to motherboard latencyes.
    In the past i ve used the K9A2 Platinum with W7 64 RC with the same video card and sound card that i use now on the 790XT-G45 ,but the latency was always 10-20 us.In fact trying again the Platinum gives me under W7 like 10-20 us.
    I ve  tryed disableing onboards ,removing the Creative and updating to latest BIOS version but no joy.The latency also adds some drag to the system i mean W7 windows don t look to snappy like it feels on Platinum.
    So is this board compatible to W7 for real ?
    What is so different between the 2 boards ,does the 790X have bigger latencyes than the 790 FX from the Platinum.One of the issues is that even if i would choose the Platinum  CPU upgrade path closes.
    I repeat i ve tested both boards with default W7 drivers and with vendors drivers and same thing.
    Any user with 790XT-G45 encountering this under W7 ?
    At first glance it s not a very big issue ,but i m very sure this 100 us get s me while playing to more and i really hate input lag and static on my sound.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi Guys,
    I agree with Sm3K3R that a 70+ microsecond increase in average DPC latency will have an undesirable affect on some apps (games, real-time streaming, etc.). I also believe that what is good for XP will almost certainly not be good for Windows 7. Too much of the architecture has changed. Better drivers may help going forward. To me, the bigger question is why this mobo takes so much longer to run these routines than the K9A2.
    I do not have any serious problems with the apps I run. Some of them may run better with a shorter average DPC latency. I have no way to tell with what I currently have to work with. Other bottlenecks may be in play. I was just responding to Sm3K3R's request for feedback. My power option is set to high performance and my base configuration has 41 processes running, including Diskeeper real-time defragmenter, Avira Antivirus, Logitech SetPoint, Process Lasso's process governor, PeerBlocker, and TaskDock. It also includes the Microsoft search functions and the sidebar with 2 gadgets running. Most of these processes run as services. I thought it was the search, sidebar, or one or more of the non-Microsoft products causing my base 100+ average latency indicated by the DPC high latency tool, so I ran LatencyMon to find out.
    I ran it several times for 2 to 5 minutes at a time, starting when the system was idle. The Nvidia display and NT Kernel & System drivers always topped the list, with latencies from 50 to 114 microseconds. The display driver's routine also ran much more often than any thing else, followed, about 60% less often, by the NT Kernel & System driver. Thus these 2 drivers contribute the most to my average DPC latency. The other products listed above most often had 0 or less than 15 microsecond DPC latencies. Once I saw this, I did not bother to check my game configuration which does not have the search, sidebar, and the non-Microsoft products listed above in it.
    During a Google search of this issue, I read that someone reduced their average Windows 7 DPC latency by 50 microseconds by turning off the HPET timer. I tried this and it did not work for me.
    Looking forward to the results of Sm3K3R's further testing and feedback from others.

  • What memory is 100% compatible with MSI P67A-G45?

    I have some g.skill memory and there are issues using it with my MSI P67A-G45 as I cant adjust dram voltage. I know some of you have this board so what memory is working perfect and allows dram voltage and all others settings to be fully adjusted?

    Quote
    and do you really think 512mb and 1gb modules were tested on this P67 board?
    Just posted a link to the modules list, nothing more. Made no recommendations & made no other assumptions. Selections & decisions are yours & yours alone.
    Here is a suggestion however. Never a blanket guarantee, but I have yet to have the Corsair GT series fail to properly default or not work on any board I have tested. Whatever you purchase, make sure it properly defaults to the platforms IMC specs for DDR3 1333, 9 9 9 xx @ 1.50v's + or - 0.075v's. Plain stick, fancy heatspreaders doesn't matter. Compatible SPD profile programming does matter.

  • MSI Z87-G45 will not load OS with two SATA HDD's connected

    I have an MSI Z87-G45 board and I am attempting to connect a second SATA HDD. Each time I connect the second disk and then power up the workstation I get the following message:
    Reboot and Select proper Boot device
    or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
    The primary HDD is a WD 160GB drive and the secondary drive that I am attempting to connect is a WD 2TB drive. I am not trying to dual boot, I just need a second disk for a little more space available. I am not sure if there are some settings that would need to be changed in the BIOS, but I would think that by default I could connect a secondary HDD, and it would be recognized as such. Anyone else dealt with this or have any pointers? This is really driving me crazy.
    I should note everything else with the workstation works perfectly, it's just when adding a second drive, it will no longer load windows 7 from the 160GB drive.

    That is one reason this is driving me crazy, I have made sure that the 160GB drive is primary in the boot process. Is there anything else you can think of that may be causing this?

  • I reinstalled tiger on one iMac, but want to re-upgragde it to Lion.  I don't have the discs anymore, but I installed Lion from the Mac App Store.  Now that I'm back to 10.4, I don't have the App Store.  I have a new iMac with Mavericks, but it won't let

    I have a 2006 iMac that I've upgraded to each new os as they came out.  I just wiped it (for the kids to use, I have a new iMac with Mavericks) and reintalled Tiger from the original discs.  I want to get it back to Lion - which I purchased from the Mac App Store.  But Tiger doesn't have the App Store and I don't have the discs anymore from the intermediate versions.  I tried downloading Lion from the new iMac but it's not available...
    Any ideas?

    To get to the App Store, you need to upgrade the Tiger machine to Snow Leopard.

  • Problem with MSI z87-g45 and gigabyte GTX 770

    Hello, I just built my new computer useing a Z87-G45 gaming motherboard and a Gigabyte GTX 770 graphic card, reason Im making this post is because I cant get a any video on the monitor useing the Graphic card, only way to get the monitor working is to use the Integraded graphic, I've tried all ports on the Graphic card same problem, i've switched monitor no succes.
    Weird thing is, Inside BIOS when Im looking on the overview of the board it tells me that I dont have anything connected in the PCI-E slots, I've tried to switch PCI-E slots and same issue appears.
    How do I fix this? or cant my graphic card be DOA? since my old one works in the PCI-E slots as normally

    Update the bios to the most recent found here: >>BIOSes<<
    Extract the bios file and place it on a fat 32 formatted usb stick and use M-flash w/ ME.
    Then re-test.
