New computer MSI NF750-G55

Hello All,
Just received a new shipment and the computer is not passing POST, Details as follows...
(oops) AMD Phenom II x6 1090T
MSI NF750-G55 BIOS default no software installed yet...
GSkill 4x4GB DDR3 1333
CoolMax 500w +3.3 30A +12v1 18A +12v2 16A -12v 1A 12v 380W
On Board Video
Kingston 128gb SSD and Sony Sata DVD R/W
Getting post to the Checking vRam and it freezes, no input after that recognized.  Computer is new, I have tried with just 1 dimm installed (yes in the correct spot) and also with only the CPU, PSU, and keyboard connected.  All fail at that point.  Post code 008F reads at that point.
Any additional info will be given at request.

Check the BIOS chip, as you need at least BIOS 7578v13 for that CPU.
If the board doesn't have that version, you will need a supported CPU to flash it.
It may also be the memory you use, try 1 el-cheapo stick and see if it posts.
And last, if you PSU is this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817159062&Tpk=CoolMax%20500w
That piece of junk will not power your system, it's old rubbish.

  • Msi nf750-g55 System Randomly Shutting down.

    Hello everyone, Back in April of this year I built a system through newegg with the following Specs:
    Motherboard: MSI NF750-G55
    Processor: AMD Phenom II x6 1090t (with stock heatsink)
    RAM: Corsair x4 2GB DDR3 1333
    Power supply: Cougar 700W Sli ready
    Graphic Configuration: two MSI Geforce 460 Cyclone GTXs running in SLI
    Hard drives: 1 WD 300GB VolociRapter and a WD 500GB mybook removed out of its external
    Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit
    Not long after I built the system (before I even thought of overclocking it) I began having a serious yet vague issue: It would shut down randomly. And I mean very randomly. Sometimes it occurs once every couple of hours, and other times it doesn't happen for more then a week. It doesn't seem to matter what I am doing on the system either. I could be playing games, or just listening to music and it will still happen, so I can't imagine its related to load. Its been a long, painstaking process to try and fix. I ruled out some of the parts it could be though. I have replaced the Power Supply with a higher quality model and an extra 50 watts, checked the temps on the system for a number of weeks while idle and under load (all looking cool except MCP), ran memtest86 successfully for a full 24 hour with no issues, as well as re installed windows 7 once. Issue still occurs.
    To be perfectly honest I am not really sure where to go from here. I purchased all my parts through newegg, so I am confident I could RMA the component that is experiencing failures if that is the case, but there in lies the problem: I am not sure which one to RMA! I don't have a means to swap out parts, as no one i know has a system with a similar configuration as me.
    I am suspicious of the Motherboard along with the processor, which is why I am posting in these forums...
    Any ideas or suggestions as to how I could either fix the problem through configuration or pinpoint which hardware component is causing these random shutdowns would be much appreciated! I really don't want to run the risk of damaging any of the other components...

    Swapped out my first 460 with my other one after 2 consecutive shut downs in 1 hour... haven't been around to continue working on it until recently, but atleast its looking like it isn't my cards.

    it doesn't matter, software voltage measure isn't accurate you can't trust them.
    If you want to check voltages [use multimeter],
    or best test with another well known working and powerfull enough quality and single rail PSU
    I got a question, why would single rail or multi rail make a difference? I hear the only reason they split the rails is for protection... and if both my PSUs are SLI ready, why are my components drawing too many amps?
    So I guess its time to shell out another 100 - 150 bucks on a PSU... Can't say I'm thrilled. Looking for one with a single 12v rail. My question is this, would this single rail power supply meet my needs?

    And if not can you or anyone make a recommendation(s)? Thanks!

    As for the AMD standard paste, sorry but I remove that instantly and add my own itty-bitty-tiny drop of grease and smear it so thin you hardly see it.
    Too much paste can cause this too, and yes I consider the AMD amount too much.
    Heck without paste it will do a better job then the AMD amount, the CPU has a heat-spreader and doesn't need that much.
    But, it could also be your heat-spreader is broken, as such CPU-temp-readings will reveal that.
    Well, so far I've seen no problems with temps. The shutdowns don't seem to indicate that heat is a problem too. I can start the system immediately after a shutdown, it doesn't matter what I am doing on the system to make the shutdown occur, and my peripheral devices are sometimes still powered after a shutdown (such as caps lock on the keyboard).
    Also, hardware monitor shows it idling at almost room temperature in the post above lol. Under load I think about 38 - 40c from what I remember seeing. I'll post a load temps pic after a few hours of torture testing tomorrow.
    Also, I may have only personally built one other computer from scratch, but I have done quite a bit of troubleshooting, as well as assisted with other people's builds. Now I am not calling myself an expert by any means, but all that being said I have yet to come across or even hear of a CPU heat related problem where there was too much thermal paste on a stock heat sink... lol learn something everyday.

  • MSI NF750-G55 connecting the power button? noob question i know

    just bought my computer, AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE and MSI NF750-G55 motherboard.
    bought a nice cooler master case and i just need a little help setting up the power button and LEDs.
    i understand everything in the manual that came with the motherboard completely i just need to know how to identify which cables from my case should be positive or negative?   im assuming that if a little arrow is pointing to the connector wire that it's positive?
    any help is greatly appreciated, hate to fry my board first day out of the box...   

     For power & reset switches it doesn't matter which way you plug them in as long as you plug them in at the right place. They are simple momentary contact switches and polarity doesn't matter for them. As far as the LED's go if they are plugged into the right place they either light or they will not. If they don't light then simply swap (reverse) the connection and they should work. Just go by what the manual shows for the where part of plugging them in. You are not likely to fry anything.

  • MSI NF750-G55 Hangs

    Ok, shooting in the dark here. I just purchased the MSI NF750-G55 from Newegg along with these components:
    CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800), sticks in slots 1,2
    AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3 125W Six-Core Desktop Processor (including fan)
    XFX HD-485X-ZNFC Radeon HD 4850 1GB 256-bit DDR3
    Antec NEO ECO 400C 400W Continuous Power ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
    The system hangs randomly. Sometimes with a BSOD (that disappears too fast to read), sometimes the screen just freezes requiring a hard reboot. Totally random, I can play Witcher II for hours just fine without and incident, or I can mess around with Solitaire and have it freeze 10 minutes in. I cannot find a pattern to it. Nothing in the Windows Event Logs other than the un-expected shutdown messages.
    I have not messed around with the BIOS settings or played around with any overclocking functions, everything is stock/default.
    I have run Memtest86, did not find nothing or hang the system. (let it run overnight)
    Windows 7 64 Professional, latest drivers from MSI and ATI (for the video card).
    Any suggestions as to where/how to start to troubleshoot this?

    Umm isn't "Vengeance" memory for use with icore/Sandybridge systems?
    I agree psu but then changed to ram issues when read the memory you're attempting to use with that system.
    I'm not seeing any Vengeance on the list for your board, XMS yea but not Vengeance unless I missed it.
    Not saying no way it can work but might require tweaking to do so.
    Have you run memtest at all?
    You really should be using the Corsair Dominator GT memory with your Phenom II see>http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c9.html click on the FAQs & Support link on the page.
    Might RMA exchange it with newegg or if not there talk to "Ram guy" over at Corsairs support site, he'd surly help you out if you asked I'd think.
    You might in the end get the Vengeance to work yea, if its the root cause of the issues you have now, tweaking it some to get it working right, might not be optimal to do so regardless.
    Any way I'd run memtest if you haven't, see what that tells ya first.

  • MSI NF750-G55 with AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition bundle from NewEgg

    I purchased this CPU/Mobo bundle from NewEgg recently and am having a hard time getting anything to work.  Here are the components I am using:
    MSI NF750-G55 mobo
    AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition CPU
    2x4Gb GSkill F3-10666CL9D-8GBSR DDRIII ram
    EVGA GeForce GTX550 Ti SLI ready graphics board
    ZUMAX X3 Series ATX 650Watt power supply
    NZXT M59 ATX Mid tower case
    Now to the problem - no POST   
    I have double checked the CPU seating and installation and its correct, have tried both on board video as well as the GeForce, and no signal to the monitor.  The 4 blue ASP power led's do light up, and the CPU fan spins, but only for a few seconds.  Then it shuts off, then restarts, and keeps cycling like this.  Have tried with no memory installed, same issue.  I have seen several entries on forums for no POST on this mobo.  Can anyone help me here?  Am I looking at a bad mobo or what?  Currently have it out of the case on a non conductive surface.

    Does the Nf750-G55 support EPP/X.M.P?
    It definately does not support XMP Overclocking Profiles (they are for Intel Platforms only).  You modules do not have EPP Memory Overclocking Profiles (NVIDIA Chipset Platforms).
    Quote
    And if it does how do i enable it?
    As you do not have modules with EPP support and since your mainboard does not support Intel XMP Profiles, there is nothing to enable.

    I also want to know if it allows you to adjust voltages
    You can adjust voltage values manually in the Cell Menu.

    When i try to change the CAS latency to 7 i cant post.
    Well, either don't set the CAS Latency to 7 then or raise the memory voltage accordingly and make sure that the Command Rate is manually set to 2T/2N.

  • NF750-G55 New Build Won't Boot to DVD

    I'm doing a rebuild of a system in which the old motherboard failed. This is only the second time I have done a build, so forgive any apparent ignorance. The following describes the system: Motherboard: MSI NF750-G55, CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 450, PSU: Hiper Type R MkII 880W, Case: Antec Three Hundred, Memory: Rendition by Crucial 1 X 4GB, Hard Drive: Seagate 400 GB, DVD: Samsung 22X SpeedPlus. Only the case, PSU and DVD come from the first build I did 18 months ago and were fine until the old MOBO failed.
    The problem I'm encountering with the new MSI NF750-G55 is booting to the DVD so I can load Windows Vista onto the hard drive. The POST gives me a Bad CHKSUM error and directs me to bios setup. In setup, the Boot Sequence shows my DVD and hard drives as disabled and won't let me enable either.
    I've uninstalled everything, cleared the CMOS and reinstalled everything five times. Nevertheless I am still getting the same error message and can't enable either  my DVD drive or hard drive. Therefore, I'm unable to successfully boot up and load windows onto the new hard drive.
    I'm out of ideas and ready to return the MOBO to Newegg for another, but I would rather fix the problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try next before I ask for an RMA?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide this newbie.

    Quote from: Pixy on 16-April-11, 04:24:53
    I've tried loading defaults (both optimized and fail-safe) in bios setup as well as by using F2 in the chksum error screen. All result in a screen that looks like this:
    The text that is obscured in the upper part of the screen reads:
    BTX loader 1.0 BTX version is 1.01
    Console: internal video/keyboard
    Bios drive C: is disk 0
    Bios 636kB/2030208kB available memory
    Once in that screen, the only way out is to unplug the PSU and reset the CMOS.
    As I said before, I'm stymied and have no idea what to try next.

    do not do this, just hit reset button then press F11 during BIOS post screen and boot from your optical drive.

  • MSI NF750 G-55 AM3 DDR3 EZ OC switch problems please help

    I bought an MSI NF750 G55 AM3 DDR3 about a few months ago (i tried unlocking a AMD phenom II 550 BE which failed) other than that with my new AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE was working and when i got curious i tried to turn the OC switches it ran fairly well with 20% speed increase between the ram and CPU but became unstable about 3 days after (temps were all fine and normal) in the sense that my computer started randomly powering down so i turn the OC switches back to the default location and i have had computer shutdowns as stil. it only does it when im putting my computer under load though . (no data loss) i even restored my bios defaults and CPUz says my clocks are back to normal but theres still some instability in my system i dont know where but if you could help me find out where the problem is i would be very greatful im also running the AMD Cool n Quiet option i dont think that would do anything though please help

  • NF750-g55 post freeze

    'sup crew,
    This is my first MSI board and i luv it. It works studly. Everything seems perfect, and functional, but it freezes on post when it detects the PCI card. It sees it, but can't seem to boot past it. Post screen reports the card twice: Once as PCI 1 firewire cntrl, then again as PCI 1 unknown devise. That's right; its a sound card with external firewire enabled base station for pre amping and plugging in musical instruments to record. So it sees it fine.
    System specs:
    Amd Phenom II x4 965 black edition (unclocked)
    4gigs A-DATA 1600+ memory runs 1333 stock, overclocked to 1600 using 1:4 setting in bios.
    MSI NF750-G55 motherboard
    600 watt PSU LS Ultra ULT-ls6000p
    Plextor DVD SATA
    Maxtor 250gig HD SATA
    O/S winxp pro
    The card the system is freezing on is a sound card. A Creative Audigy II Platinum Pro. I have been using this board and the creative forums for the last 3 days to try to fix it, but this is a new motherboard and there is not a lot posted on it yet. The card works great, already double checked it in the ol ladys P4 XP computer. Detects it no problem, and loads it right up.
    It will boot if I enable fast booting, but this setting allows the bios to skip a few checks, Like detecting the PCI card,and the result is it is not passing a signal to windows that the PCI card is Present. So, Windows does not detect it. Duh...
    I found a related post here on a different msi motherboard where the user was having the same problem with the same sound card. Froze in post when it detected the card, just like mine. He disabled USB devises in the BIOS and his msi board then booted to the o/s and reported his creative Audigy II Platinum Pro. Tried it out of desperation, no go on this board. Post still froze. That's o.k. though, i don't have any plans to trade off my USB functionality to enable a sound card.
    Also checked the tension on the mounting screws, but i don't think i'm getting any shorts. Works perfect, long as i enable fast booting. I have tried it in both Win7 32bit, and WinXP pro 32 bit. Same result.
    PSU, hadn't thought of that. O.k. I grab a 550 watt PSU out of the ol' ladys computer. Specs: Its in chinese. Label lists a lot of power info but i dont see a model no# to reference that i recognize. Same results, system works great, but freezes when I slow boot. Still freezes when it detects the sound card. When i enable fast booting it shoots me right into windows, no probs, but windows never sees the card that way.
    Changed PCI latency in bios from 64, to 32, no difference. Still won't boot.
    There is only 1 PCI slot on this board so changing slots is not an option.
    Loaded F6 optimal setting,(disabled onboard sound) then fresh installed winxp pro. Same thing. Card still doesent show up in devise manager.
    I have no progs installed to create any conflicts. Loaded the motherboard drivers, nothing. Dl all microsoft updates, still nothing. I mean everything works great, but the card is not showing up in devise mangager.
    Now, if i can't get this thing to boot without enabling fast booting, it won't detect the sound card, and therefore will not pass that info to windows. Windows will never detect it like this.
    Oh yeah, i let creative dance me around for a while too and tried all their solutions, total uninstall all creative, then reboot and extract their exe file with winrar and try to install drivers. That works, but windows still doesent see anything to install the drivers in, lol. Good thinking there creative. Clean boot troubleshooting, tried that. I am sure these solutions work for some, but in this case it is putting the cart before the horse. The bios is not passing the sound card info to windows to detect to begin with, there is nothing showing up in devise manager, so thier solutions are useless for me.
    The prob is this motherboard. I have to successfully slow boot to get it to pass the card info to windows before it shows up in devise manager. If i can do that, or even figure a way to do it just once, windows will detect it, and i'll be able to load the drivers. If i have to rig the bios a certain way to accomplish this, I figure you guys will know how.
    Please help.

    Bas,
    Still with me, eh? Your a man, i'll give you that. See how popular i've become since I said "Audigy 2". Lol.
    Well, you'll be pleased to know that i haven't been idle, and though i don't know the solution, i do believe i know the question now.
    And oh yeah, onboard sound is always disabled on my machine. I bought this to create like a dream home studio for me, i'm not a gamer. Realtek can't do digital audio, they don't even have an Asio driver. I did try it in cubase on an earlier XP installation. All i can say is, thank gawd my ears can't hurl, so don't worry. Onboard sound is always disabled.
    Let me be a little clearer on the freeze. It is not a freeze at all, its a pause. The moment post detects the Platinum Pro sound card, it stops dead in its tracks. Originally i thought this was a freeze because none of the f-keys or the esc key will work. Those are the keys we normally use to manipulate post. I discovered later that if i waited about 20 seconds then hit pause followed by the "M" key, it would snap out of its coma and continue the post. Also noted is the fact that i can hit cntrl+alt+delete at any time to reboot the system, so not all the keys on the keyboard are nonfunctional when it pauses. It will not continue post without my interference, it will just sit there till hell freezes over, or i reboot, or invoke the pause and m key routine.
    It identifys my card as:
    PCI Slot-1 Firewire cntlr
    PCI Slot-1 Multimedia Devise
    PCI Slot-1 Unknown Devise
    These three listings are the key to this i believe. Notice that none of them have been assigned an IRQ by the system. This is odd to me as the system seems to assign everything else with IRQ numbers with np. The post screen is full of them.
    I've done some further testing. The ol ladys P4 is running an Audigy 2 value sound card. Out it goes, and into mine.
    Post lists nothing at all for the card, but it does not pause and continues without issue into windows. Wow. I didn't expect that. I thought sure it would see it. But no. I repeat the boot...nothing. Post doesn't see it at all.
    All right, now i'm thinking something is up with this PCI slot. I'm wondering if it works at all, and suspecting not.
    So to check it i pull out the Audigy 2 value, and install the D-link DFE-530TX+ Ethernet adapter card.
    Boot. Post detects it at once as:
    PCI Slot-1 Ethernet Adapter IRQ10
    Completes post without issue and into windows. Devise manager loads automatically and loads the cards drivers for me, i don't need to lift a finger. Damn, that was impressive. I luv this thing again.
    But this proves the PCI slot works. Arrrrrggghhhhhhh!!!
    Now, since hope springs eternal, and i'm wondering if its working now...out goes the network card, and back in goes the Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Pro.
    Boot. Post pauses again the moment it detects the card, damn. And this is a bad one, it is a couple of minutes before the pause and m key routine have any effect on it. Once i coax it out of its coma it shows the same detection for the card it did before:
    PCI Slot-1 Firewire cntlr
    PCI Slot-1 Multimedia Devise
    PCI Slot-1 Unknown Devise
    Again I point out, they have not been assigned any IRQ's by the system.
    Seems like a simple fix, but i cannot find anything in the bios that i recognize as being able to effect the changes. I can't find anything for plug and play. The manual that came in the box isn't giving anything up either, with only the vaugest mentions on the Bios. I'm not one who likes to pull switches and turn knobs just to see what will happen, so i'm stuck.
    Bas, is there a way to override the system and force it to assign the missing IRQ's? Can't do it in windows because its not showing up there. I have to do it in the bios.

    I pulled one of the OC switches down to overclock by 10% and it work fine and my phenon 955 went from 3.2 to 3.5, but when i try 15% or 20% by switching the other ones pc would not boot at all untill i cleared my cmos, I'm new to overclocking and i don't know much about it.. i got a HAD 922 case with lots of fans and i got a coolermaster v10 cpu cooler which works great. I really want to oc it up to 4.0ghz. Don't know whats going on or why it wouldn't let.. i remember when i tried doing 15% oc my pc turned on and said something about bootmgr and it being corrupt? nothing worked untill i turned it off and cleared cmos.. I don't know what it is that i need to do. I have a Ultra 750wat psu btw. Any help will be greatly appreciated

    Your BSOD'ing during load because your cpu is too hot.... now that you've got 4Ghz to boot..back off the voltage (1 step down at a time) until you stay under 45*C.. If you go too low you wont be stable...if you go too high you'll overheat and crash. These chips don't like anything above 50*C.... hell I start to worry about stability at 45*C. AMD states the max (recommended) is 66*C. I say B.S. and just stay under 50*C to be safe.
    Also... you will not be able to do 1800mhz ram w/ a 4Ghz CPU clock.... the IMC just isn't strong enough. You'd be much better off at 1333mhz and tightening up your timings a tad. If your looking for graphics performance... OC your NB and HT clocks. You'll gain 12-16 fps in Vantage upping your NB to 2800mhz and your HT to ~2500mhz while keeping the CPU cool and comfortable at ~3.8Ghz. (this is especially helpful if you ever plan on going SLI)

Maybe you are looking for
