New rig 990fxa-gd80v2 wont post debug code 19

I am building a new rig for my gf's brother and i can not get my new mobo to post. I am getting debug code 19. I couldn't find a lot of info on what the code means but from what I have seen its apparently a problem with the BIOS not being updated for my new CPU. I have tried all of my current working components from my rig on the board as well and it still showed code 19. Here are the specs on the rig.
MOBO 990fxa-gd80v2
CPU AMD FX-8320
PSU 500W RAIDMAX
GPU EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB
RAM G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Like I said however I took apart my rig completely and switch all my known working parts onto the new MOBO and got the same error code. So I am not sure if the issue is really an outdated BIOS because it wouldnt post with my AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

ok so it has been a few days since I last posted because I have been busy but I just finally had time to work on it. I essentially took out my mobo and replaced it with the new one that had been posting code 19. Using all my known working components from my computer including my PCU I am still recieving the same error code, even after moving my known working RAM into each different slot.I'm getting quite desperate here now and just am plain lost in trying to understand what seems to be the issue. I'd be very grateful for anyadditional information/tips here. Thanks.

  • New Build, Won't POST, Debug code stays at 00

    I just got done building a new MPOWER MAX with an I5-4670K.  The build is a new power supply, motherboard, CPU, RAM.  Video card I was using was in an old system and worked fine.  24 pin power, and the 2x 8 pin power supplies are all hooked up.
    I have torn the PC back apart to where it's now just Motherboard, and CPU.  No RAM, no Video card, no HDD's, no DVD drive.  The system will not POST, and the Debug code never changes from 00.  I have even pulled off all the front panel Power/LED/Speaker connectors. 
    I have also tried switching the BIOS toggle switch, and cleared BIOS from the back panel.  I don't know where to go with this since it won't even give me a code of any kind.

  • 990fxa gd80 v2 Post check codes and unlikely temp readings

    Hi all im new to this forum so forgive me if this isnt the right place to post a concern.
    my main concern is the checkdown codes that you see at startup only after overclocking the cpu i get a lowercase b next to all the codes,everything starts up and works fine only these codes before the over clock never had a b in front of them it was only numbers and i cant find any information about this anywhere.Im thinking it could be an issue with my power supply not having enuf power im only thinking this because once i have my cpu and ram over clocked if i overclock my GPU windows glitches and looses some of the windows graphical effects.
    also my other concern is about temp readings.when i open AMD overdrive TMPIN2,3 and 4 are all over 250 Degrees C which seems highly unlikely the system would even run for very long at these temps. all other temps seem normal,CPU stays 52  and TMPIN1 stays 41 at idle.Any information concerning these will be greatly appreciated 
    Further information my system is
    MSI 990fxa gd 80 v2
    AMD fx 8320 clocked to 4.0 Ghz
    Gskill ram clocked to 1600 10 10 10 30
    Geforce 550 ti cyclone 2 GPU
    ADATA 120 GIG SSD
    WD blue 500 GIG
    5  120mm hydro bearing fans
    Seasonic 520watt 80plus bronze power

    like miklikit said those readings are ghosts as the pins will just be shorted and not connected to anything (if it was over 250C your board would me dead within 5 mins as whatever it was would start to burn)
    what codes are they exactly and I will do my best to look them up and work out what they mean? (if there on for less then a few seconds each there nothing to worry yourself over its only if it stops on one for more then 5 seconds then you have an issue)
    also that PSU should be ok as your system with what you have needs with a GeForce GTX 550 Ti - 24A and a 400W PSU minimum (add 50-70w for your extras + OC and you need 450-470W) <--- its close to the upper limit of that PSU so it may be a little on the lower end of what you really need (I would suggest 600W or more really for your setup)! (your errors you are getting may be its not got enougth power or your Overclock is unstable)

  • Z87 XPower motherboard will not POST, debug code stays 00

    I've been trying to build this machine since mid May and I can't for the life of me get the stupid thing to POST. The board codes read 00 (definitely not D0) from the first second the board is powered on and do not change. I have a similar machine with an ASUS ROG Maximus board and the codes change very rapidly during the boot sequence.
    Here's my configuration:
    MSI Z87 XPOWER LGA 1150
    Intel Core i7-4790 Processor - BX80646I74790
    Corsair RM 650W, 80 Plus Gold, Fully Modular (CP-9020054-NA)
    Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (4x8GB) DDR3 2133 MHz RAM
    Corsair Hydro Series CW-9060009-WW H100i Extreme Liquid/Water CPU Cooler
    EVGA 01G-P3-1302-LR GeForce 8400 GS Video Card (Yes I'm aware it's a crappy gfx card, the machine does chip simulations, it's not for gaming)
    Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB Serial ATA Hard Drive
    Corsair Obsidian Series 750D Performance Full Tower Case CC-9011035-WW
    Things I've done to try and troubleshoot this problem:
    Run the board stripped down, 1 stick of ram, cpu, stock cooler, psu (both BIOS)
    Run the board stripped down out of the case on a bench (both BIOS)
    Run the board without ram (both BIOS)
    Run the board without ram and without a cpu (both BIOS)
    Run the board with 1 stick of good ram from another machine, the proc and the psu (both BIOS)
    Run the board with everything plugged in (both BIOS)
    I have RMA'd the board TWICE and the proc once. The board isn't initializing, and I can't for the life of me figure out why. I've got another psu (corsair 750 CX) coming monday which I'm going to try. My last ditch effort after trying a second psu will be purchasing an earlier version of Haswell that takes an earlier BIOS, but honestly, the proc should be able to limp along to at least POST with the wrong BIOS.
    If anyone has ANY ideas I would greatly appreciate it. TIA

    I spoke with Jose Lopez on the phone who is listed as a technical support specialist according to his email signature. Supposedly on both RMAs updating the bios was listed on the work order. But I received back different boards, so I have no way of verifying what BIOS is on them. All MSI can manage to do is tell me that it is my other hardware which is impossible when it's running like this:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/2hunibvkhkco899/2014-08-11%2017.38.06.mp4
    Apologies for the fuzzy video, camera phone lens must've been dirty. It's the same result if you run it without the stick of ram as well. Note that ram is from another working computer, so that's not the issue.
    As far as going to a repair shop and having them update the bios with an older haswell, no shop around here is willing to do that or has older haswells to even use to do that.
    There was no communication from MSI as to what was done to the board, all they did was ship it back to me in a poorly padded box. There was no paperwork inside.
    Apologies as well for sounding rude, I am just completely at the end of my rope over this. I paid $375 USD on this and I REALLY expect the stupid thing to work and MSI is being nothing short of infuriating.

  • Re: Brand new computer won't start. Debug code 04 60 55

    try to boot with mainboard out of PC case placed over non conductive surface like a wooden table
    with barabone setup

    I&#39;ve tried to plug only one stick of RAM, in every slot, with both sticks and redoing connection to the motherboard. Haven&#39;t had time yet to check the CPU but I&#39;m pretty sure it&#39;s fine as I really really paid attention when positioning it.

  • Please help 790GX G65 wont POST

    Hi MSI community,
    I have a brand new 790GX-G65 as part of my all new build and it wont POST.
    here's the system
    790GX-G65 - winki edition (winki not connected)
    Phennom X4 965 Black (AM3 package, 3.4GHz)
    Corsair 400W PSU
    2*2GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 - p/n cmd4gx3m2b1600c8 , which according to the reseller's website is guaranteed to support all DDR3 platforms from AMD
    using the onboard ATI RADEON 3300 via the vga socket
    I have the board outside the chassis on a peice of cardboard
    the 24 pin connector, 4pin connector, heatsink fan, CPU, ram, keyboard(tried PS2 and USB ones) and monitor are the only things connected.
    I have tried using each ram stick individually in slot1, both together in slots 1 and 2 and no ram at all.
    In each case when i start the system the fans come on, the reset and power buttons light up, the five blue LEDs in the top right corner come on NB1,LED2,LED3,LED4 first then LED1 a second or so later, but nothing else happens.
    no beep codes(have tried with and without the system speaker connected), no signal to the monitor (tried several monitors)
    I've tried clearing the CMOS several times.
    it seems to me like its a dead chip or board but i cant truly rule out ram.
    anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
    I will ask around to see if i can find another AM3 chip or board to test against but most of my friends went the intel route
    many thanks

    Hi Guys,
    Thankyou all for replying, sadly though it still doesn't work :(
    nt650
    I could understand the psu struggling if i had load of othe things running off it, but it's just the board and chip.
    I'm happy that its not the board shorting out on the cardboard.
    I've tried it with a couple of old ATI rage IIs I had lying around and theres no joy from either of those. both known to work in other pcs
    I'm using the standard AMD HSF so the clip on that shouldn't have caused a problem. I didn't need a hammer to fit it!
    HDD is not connected
    CMOS battery seems fine
    paperclip test was fine, fan spun up immediately
    Fredrik
    I cant be sure what bios version i have, its a brand new board and i havn't flashed it so whatever it shipped with, v1.4 I guess. Are there any known issues?
    Bas
    I checked the pins again, all there and straight.
    Hans
    I'll try and lay my hands on a beefier PSU tomorrow, but with just chip and board it should run ok. I know it's near the bottom end of the recommended range but the PSU companies will always want to sell you more than you need.
    One other thing I tried just for kicks was to start the board without the chip in at all,
    the hsf still came on, the speaker still did nothing but only LED1 LED2 LED3 and LED4 came on, not NB1. I have no idea what (if anything) that means, but hopefullly someone on here does.
    Anymore ideas out there? They would be gratefully received

  • 990FXA-GD80V2 Debug Code "FF" and What it Means.

    So my uncle stopped by today and said that his 990FXA-GD80V2 wouldn't post and I asked him if he went through the usual checks like re-seating the graphics card, resetting the CMOS, and trying only 1 memory module. He had done all that and no post, he then told me that he got a debug code of FF on the readout.
    So I thought I would search the web and see what I could find out. "Nothing".
    So I contacted MSI USA Technical Support and the technician let me know that "FF" Means no system input "Power".
    If you get the "FF" code, try removing power and re-seating both the 24pin (Main) and 8pin (CPU) power connectors, if you have another power supply try that. Also check the CPU for any damaged pins.
    If neither of those two options work, the board comes with a 3 year warranty and you should send it in for RMA. (Directly to MSI, not reseller).
    If this has been posted somewhere else, my apologies, but I did search for it.

    Thanks for the report, I think we saw a bad cpu do this as well but most often a bad bios.
    Someone had told me it was actually supposed to be for future use, but each time it comes up, it isn't good.

    Looking for some assistance with debug error.  Followed clear cmos procedure including battery removal.

    this could be either a bad board, unsupported bios or a damaged CPU! check that the cpu has no bent pins!
    i guess you miss read the bios sticker
    AMI APTIO

    AGB4  3700
    B4 means it has BIOS version 11.4
    your CPU requires a minimum bios version of B5 (11.5)
    you will need to eiter get a supported CPU or take the board to a computer shop for them to do it or Send the board to MSI to have them flash the bios for you!

  • 990FXA-GD80 Debug Code 2b won't boot

    Specs:

    MSI r9 290 4GB Gaming

    60GB Kingston SSDnow
    2TB Seagate Hybrid Drive
    Problem:
    When I hit power the Debug Code reads 19, FF, 2b then resets continuously.
    History:
    I had a similar problem when I first build the computer in February and reseting the RAM fixed it. About a month ago I had the mobo replaced through RMA. 
    The first time I had this happen when I built the computer it worked for a couple weeks before failing to post. The computer has been working for a few weeks since I RMAed the mobo.
    Steps taken so far:
    1. I reset the cpu
    2. Reset memory
    3. Moved memory from DIMMs 1/3 to 2/4
    4. Reset Video Card
    5. Checked all power cables
    Does anybody have any idea how to fix this? I'm guessing that it is the memory but the memory has worked fine for like 9 months besides having to be reset.
    Is there anyway to test this?
    Edit: I just reset the complementary metal-oxide semiconductor and the debug only read FF (memory error). I reset the memory and the debug is going through the FF,19,2b sequence again. 

    I contacted kingston and they are going to replace the RAM. The online form made me put repair under reason for return because the RAM kit is discontinued. I called tech support and was told that they will either replace the kit with one they have in stock or give me options from kits they do have in stock.
    Thanks for the help. It looks like I'm going to have to pilfer a 4GB stick from my HTPC for the next couple of weeks.

    have you connected all power cables?
    to the CPU?
    all cables to the VGA too?
    what exactly memory sticks you are using?
    have you tried to boot with barabone setup and mainboard out of PC case?
    The motherboard power is connected, and the CPU fan is connected and powers on. Is there a separate CPU power cable? The VGA is connected and powers on (as far as I can tell, at least the fan does). The memory is CORSAIR XMS 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Model CMX4GX3M2A1333C8. (I'm planning to get some 1666 RAM after I get the motherboard working.) I have tried booting without any hard drives or USB stuff attached, just the VGA and CPU, but I still get the FF code. I haven't taken it out of the case.

  • 790FX-GD70 not POSTing no debug code all LEDs on

    Hi
    I have had my 790FX-GD70 for almost the past 2 years and it has given me no real problems. But yesterday whilst playing Fallen Earth, my computer froze so I gave it a restart and it froze during windows start up. At this point I opened my case and watched the debug display and this time it froze during post, can't remember the debug code it froze on. I tried restarting a few more time and it would freezes at different points during post. At this point I remove it from its case and start barebones testing it. If I left it for a time I could get into the bios and go to the hardware monitoring page and look a the tempter of the CPU for it froze. There it reported that the tempter was 34C. Stopped testing it last night and when I turned it one this morning it would not even start to post. When I turn it on all the LEDs on the board turn on even the overclocking LED and the overclocking switch also turns and to turn off the system I have to do a hard switch off and UPS.
    I have tried it with a different UPS with no effect, tried a different graphics card with no effect. Also tried with different RAM and no RAM no effect.

    try with another video card then
    Also done that to no effect, currently I don't have a spare CPU that will work on my motherboard. I was hoping that some one has had this problem before because I have never seen my computer start up with all the LEDs on as it starts up. Also the hard drive LED is on constantly even when there is no hard drive plug in.

    I discovered that I could use two 4 pin cables from my power supply to plug into the 8 pin power slot on MoBo as well as the 24 pin power.  I'm a complete novice/newbie to the extreme so I essentially got lucky.  It appears to be working so far, but I'm skeptical.
    If you find out that your cause is the same as mine, make sure you plug both 4 pins in securely, its a bit of an odd fit.
