NF980-G65 and 1075T

I have a NF980-G65 with a 1075T I can get it to get into the bios but thats about it... I tried the MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool however when I try to start it from the flash drive it just shows blank.
Graphics card 470 MSI Geforce, G-skillet ram 4gbx2.
Anyone have any idea what I can do ?
Thanks

You never read the manual that comes with the HQ-flasher did you?
As you need to press F11 (for most boards), then in the boot menu you select the USB-drive.
You DO NOT go into the BIOS.
And this means? So windows does load or what?
If you do not describe the problem better there is nothing we can do.
I know how boot from the usb I know its pressing F11 after I do it shows the "floppy screen", just to try out something else I went into bios too boot from m-flash there is an option too boot from flash with the new bios. (obviously with different usb drives)
So when I try to boot the bios version of the usb drive then I get the checking nvram screen.

New NF980-G65 with an AMD X6 1090T and the BIOS Update Utility Crashes?

Last week I received my new NF980-G65 board and with it an AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (Thuban 3.2GHz Socket AM3). After installing the board and starting it up for the first time I noticed that it reports BIOS version 1.1 and CPU unknown. Next I downloaded the BIOS update to version 1.3 from msi, made a boot USB stick and powered up again. System will not boot from USB. I tried now over 20 different sticks from 256MB to 64GB and none of them worked!
Went back to my old system and ripped its floppy drive out to install it in the new computer. Had to go to RadioShack since I have not touched a floppy in over 10 years, but they had some on clearance. Made me a boot disk, put the new BIOS and install utility on it, booted the system with the floppy, started the BIOS update utility and watched it crash. When I start it by itself it gives me three screens of options and commands, but as soon as I try to use one of the commands or update the BIOS it keeps crashing.
What do I have to do to get the BIOS on the NF980-G65 updated so it will run with my AMD X6 1090T processor?
Thank you in advance for ANY help...

I am sorry, but I need to work with this thing since I make a living writing code, I do not play with it! This thing and the support I am getting for it are not worth my time or money!
What thing are you talking about? You are experiencing the a certain symptom for which you do not know the cause. For some strange reason and without any in-depth tests you seem to assume that the board must be the problem (ignoring all other components (for example your factory overclocked memory modules).

Cool and Quiet ok to use on NF980-G65 / 965 CPU?

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's safe to use the cool and quiet option in the bios on the NF980-G65 motherboard with the AMD 965 Black Edition CPU.
I had the MSI overclocking center open (I'm not overclocking just monitoring the temperatures) and heard this faint siren sound, thought it was one of my neighbors car alarms. Once I discovered that it was coming from my computer I opened HWMonitor and noted that the CPU fan was only running at 3%, and I guess that's lower than what ever is configured in the MSI Overclocking center since the alarm noise was coming from the overclocking center.
The CPU was still in the safe zone at about 54°c at the time that the CPU fan was down running at 3%, my guess was due to cool and quiet taking over maybe.
I've read that this CPU can go pretty high in temps but of course we should try to keep it as cool as possible so this leaves me baffled about the cool and quiet (if that's what causes it) to drop the CPU fan down to about 1680RPM since the temps seem like they would have kept rising if the fan doesn't speed up.
Anyway, is it safe to use Cool and Quiet on this mainboard with this CPU?

Unfortunately, I live in a 40+ year old house, in the desert, where our now summer month temps are into the 3 digit marks (100-121°f) and this house doesn't have insulation in the walls so the temps inside are only maintained at 76°f and the computer room is a bit hotter than that even with the central air going and an additional window a/c unit in the computer room.
I am using the Thermaltake Element G box which has a huge fan on the side door, a very large fan on the front, an equally large fan to exhaust on the back, an large fan again on the top of the case and finally, 2 60mm fans on the back to exhaust near the video cards and so my CPU runs probably warmer than the average person that is able to keep their rooms down to 65°f unfortunately.
Anyway, the cool and quiet used to be turned off and I had the other options on so that it would try to maintain the CPU at 45°c which it's perfectly capable of doing when I'm not playing games, and of course it's still capable fo keeping it under 60°c when playing games, and most of the time the temps dont' get above 57°c when playing demanding games but it concerns me that the CPU fan would drop to only 3% using cool and quiet and I'll likely turn it off again but I'm still curious if there is any known issues with running cool and quiet on this mainboard and CPU.
Thanks for the reply

Cant Load Win 7 64 after rebuild NF980-G65

Hi
I have just bought an NF980-G65 mob., with an AMD Phenom II X4 955 (Deneb 4c)
3.2 GHz, DDR3-1333, 2 MB L2, 6 MB. I also bought the G-skill 1600 ram, I was a bit put of when it came as it was for an Intel pro,
I have it set up with two Nvidia 7800gt G.cards. in SLI
I installed a new hard drive W.Dig. 650gb black. when I tried loading win7 64 i kept getting a blue screen with various faults on it.
It would work as far as the grey line "loading windows" and even the logo sometimes but would then crash.
The amazing thing is that i put my old hardrive back in and it booted up as 32bit win7 and loaded the drivers.
this seemed to work until i tried to install a game and it crashed again all i saw was a quick message about "memory"
needles to say i have returned the g-skill ram as that was the only thing not in the mob recommended ram.
silly boy bought it for it's latency didn't read the small print.
I am with any ram now and I'm having difficulty finding somewhere that has a stock of recommended ram i.e.
Patriot PGS34G1600LLKA, GeIL GV34GB1600C8DC, or lots of very expensive Kingston. £100 is about my limit.
Any way that said, do you think i had another problem?
the mem i bought was GSKill 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit (2x2GB) PC3-12800 1600MHz (7-8-7-24)
Model Number: F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM
I hope someone can help
thank you

Blue screen like that sounds like RAM, or overclocking, or overheating, I guess you are not overclocking.
I'm using memory modules "specifically designed for intel P55 chipset" (according to OCZ) on my AMD PC. The only thing is that I had to set up the timings manually. I was able to set up tighter timings because I'm running slower than rated speeds (at 1333 MHz instead of 1600 MHz), no problems whatsoever. But I'm not saying that the GSkill RAM that you bought would definitely work though, incompatibility problem is still possible. I bought my RAM at a local store, so its easy to return it if it didn't work
So, apart from incompatibility, either the timings or speeds were not correct, or you had some defective RAM modules. Need to run memtest on them to find out. Also, Phenom II normally accept maximum RAM clockspeed of 1333 MHz, if you set up the RAM to go 1600 MHz that is considered overclocking and may not be stable.
This is the favorite line in this forum: Check your power supply! A weak power supply may cause problem as well.
Also try using single card before you do SLI when installing.
Good luck!

MSI NF980-G65 freezes when trying to boot from disc

I just recently purchased and received an MSI NF980-G65 motherboard to work with my AMD Phenom II x6 1055T, but sadly I have had nothing but trouble.
So far the motherboard posts its bios and has the ability to detect any (and all) of my hard drives when I have them plugged in. The hard drive that has Windows installed on it currently informs me that I need to put in my Windows disc and run the repair utility, which makes sense since I was using a completely different motherboard and CPU before.
It is when I try to press any key to boot from disc that the problem arises. When I press a key on my keyboard while that prompt is on screen, the cursor jumps as if I had hit the tab key and does nothing further.
I have a total of three copies of Windows 7 at my disposal to use, two are DVDs I had burned from using my student discount to get them, and one set (32-bit and 64-bit) were in a retail copy of home premium, all of the discs performed the same action. I had tried using different SATA cables, different power adapters, and even different DVD players to try and remedy the situation.
The hard drive with windows is an IDE hard drive, but I have tried my other SATA hard drives just to be sure, none of which fixed the problem.
I have heard briefly about m-flash, but as far as I can tell, it would appear this new motherboard did come with the latest bios version (1.4).

For the boot, I have tried both setting up the DVD player as the initial boot, and I have tried just selecting it in the boot menu.
As per the posting guide, here are more specific information:
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 2.8 GHz, 9.0 MB Total Cache, AM3 Socket
Motherboard: MSI NF980-G65 v. 1.2 bios (I'm going to try and flash this to a later now, I didn't know where to look for it before) , 601-7612-010B1004183389
RAM: G. Skill Ripjaw DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 2gb x 1 until I get this working, then it will be x4
Power Supply: Tagan BZ Series 700W
DVD: Samsung SH-S223 DVD burner with Lightscribe
HDD: Western Digital 250GB IDE drive

SSD (Solid State Drive) with my NF980-G65?

I was curious if anybody else owning the NF980-G65 has a SSD Drive installed, and working good for you. I recently purchased one made by Intel http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820167035 and wanted to find out if their is any special setting in the BIOS that I'll have to make in order for the system to recognize the drive as a SSD, and not give me fits when I try to do a fresh install of windows 7 (64-bit)?
Thanks

Hello to all.
I'd like to know why AHCI mode is being suggested to use for SSD's? Please tell me why. I just don't understand. I think using Raid 0 Array would be the better choice. How does AHCI mode vary compaired to Raid 0 ? Is AHCI a better Mode? Does it give better performance then Raid 0?
I see alot of you are having problems setting up SSD's. I have read the first thing you need to do is make sure the firmware on any SSD you use should be updated.
I also see a lot of people here talking about the need to install Raid drivers. This is true with all other OS's, but I have found that after a fresh format, even on a new HD, I just installed Win 7 64 bit ultimate I went right into device manager to see what drivers are needed, & to my surprise all the drivers were already installed, including Raid driver & controller. I set up my Raid 0 Array at the F10 prompt, rebooted with OS disk with master drive after setting up boot sequence, & continued from there no problem with 2 150GB Raptor HD's in Raid 0.
I have gone as far as to use a Western Digital HD CD utility disc that has a write zero utility & used it to fast write zero's to the first 63 tracks & sectors including track 0 sector 0 where the MBR is written, & I've reformatted & reinstalled Win 7 from that point, & all the drivers still get auto installed. You can go right into device manager & see for your self. The only driver I ever need my be a sound driver update & Graphics driver. I'm not forgetting that the drivers that are auto installed are generic & may need updating, but what I'm saying is, I haven't seen any yellow question marks or exclamation points in device manager like you do with other OS's before Win 7.

[RESOLVED]NF980-G65 Hang on windows 7 install. Unable to boot

Hello,
I'm a bit at wit's end here. My old non-MSI motherboard was failing and giving me loud beep errors, so I decided to replace it. In doing so I was required to update basically the whole computer in order to keep up with tech trends and my new LCD monitor.
I bought an MSI NF980-G65, 4 gb ddr3 RAM, an ADM 64 250 dual core, and a Nvidia GTX 260. After I installed the hardware, I was unable to access windows vista 32 on my old hard drive. I assumed this was because of driver conflicts. Because I had no install discs (only upgrade/recovery discs) I was unable to boot from CD, so I purchased windows 7. Regardless of which disc(32 or 64) I use when I set my boot sequence in BIOS to boot from the CD first, this is what happens:
The screen shows a white loading bar that says "Windows is loading"
The next screen shows "Starting Windows" with a small "microsoft corporation" logo below it. It sometimes has a red pixel on the screen.
The next screen it flips to is all blank. From there it does nothing, no matter how long I leave it.
I have tried booting with no graphics card(internal only)
I have tried booting with no HD attached.
I have tried booting with only one HD attached (of two I've done this both ways)
My HD's have been checked and they are fine
I have tried booting using another dvd rom drive
I have tried swapping IDE HD slots with that of the dvd.
the DVD does use a pci extension card because the sable is not long enough for the dvd player, but regardless of where that IDE cable is plugged in, it still hangs in the load screen and does not go anywhere.
I've seen this symptom mentioned, but not per this motherboard, it seems like a BIOS setting issue but I feel like I've tried them all (disable LAN etc).
If I try to boot to the old Vista 32 install, it says "starting windows" but the logo does not appear, and the progress bar does not fill.
If I try booting vista 32 in any safe mode the load hangs on a .sys file.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get this going in the right direction? This has become very frustrating.
Thanks,
Alex
*****[RESOLUTION]This issue has been resolved. I switched to a different motherboard (GIGABYTE) and everything worked out peachy.

I hope this helps:

What are your complete system specs? Need the complete picture. What ram and timings? Tried 1 dimm in slot closest to cpu?
Since posting this I have tried formatting my Small drive listed above. I was only able to erase the info using Killdisk. The format from windows using my old Motherboard (Abit) would not work. Last night I let the system try to install windows 7 all night, I had 2gb of ddr3 in 1 dimm slot closest to the cpu. I connected only the above drive after it was whiped, no graphics card (limited on board graphics are on the motherboard) and the install still hung as usual. Does Killdisk do some sort of improper format? I had assumed that it would erase all data to provide a clean slate. But I don't even thing a HD is required in order to boot up to the main setup screen?
Do I have voodoo in my machine?

Change from K9N2 Diamond to NF980-G65

A question for those with much more tech knowledge then my own. Can I change my mobo out (specs below) and replace it (with a NF980-G65) using the HDD's installed on my existing system. I am aware I cannot do this when changing to another manufacturers board, just don't know if I can when they are the same.
Thanks, Tom

New Nf980-g65 board refuses to post please help

Hi everyone I just purchased a nf980-g65 board and installed the cpu a phenom II 945 and connected everything and the board will not post no beeps fans spin up and one power phase light comes on. If I removed the ram however the board will make 3 long beeps without the ram installed I did a bench test no change with ram installed the ram is patriot pdc32g1333elk is the ram causing an issue or what could be wrong?

Is this a new build?
Does it worked before?
Have you tried to boot with barabone setup and mainboard of PC case?
Do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed,
leave 1 memory stick in 1st DIMM close to CPU socket. Then try to boot.

I'm trying to find the first propper thorough and independant review of this motherboard where the writer physicaly has a NF980-G65 board so it can be benchmarked and compared against Asus's board with 980a chipset and current AMD chipset boards. I want to read the reviewers opinions.
The difference between mainboards using the same chipset is non-existent. When some boards are faster than others it's usually because the manufacturer has tweaked stock memory sub-timings within their BIOS.
MSI's and ASUS' boards are also manufactured by the same company [Foxconn]. So expect the build and component quality to be the same. The only real difference would be features, BIOS configuration and board layout.

Need help flashing nf980 g65 bios

I just put together the NF980-G65 with a 6 core AMD processor. From what I understand it doesn't support the 6 cores unless I flash it to the latest BIOS update. It won't let me install Windows 7 or XP so I'm trying to use mflash. I downloaded the zip and extracted it onto a usb drive that's formatted with fat32. Then in the BIOS when I try to do the update it can't find the file. It only shows partition 0, previous folder, or media folder. For some reason it won't find the update. I have tried everything I can think of, also using a different usb drive. Please help.

NF980-G65 MCP temp problem

Hi. I'm new here and I've been googling this problem for a while and haven't found a specific solution for my problem so I was hoping someone here could help me.

320 GB WD 7200 RPM HD & 1TB WD 7200 HD.
My computer didn't have any problems until yesterday when I left my computer on all day (was a really hot day) and I came home and turned on World of warcraft in windowed mode and tried to play a movie (I always play with a video running) and the video wouldn't display and crashed each time I tried. I could run either the game or the movie but not both. So I checked the temperature and it showed MCP at 95 C. I turned it off for a while, and it went back to normal.
I looked at many different posts and one suggested I try reapplying the thermal compound on my CPU chip which I did with Arctic silver 5 and it's helped my CPU temp a bit but not my MCP temp.
Then I read from other posts that MCP is a different chip but I have no idea where it is. Is it the square silver (one with "MSI" written on it) next to the 2nd PCI-E slot? http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1885
I would figure it would be that one since it's covered by the 2nd video card then it would make sense for the high temp.
If it is. would putting it down to the 3rd slot fix the problem? I'm not sure if the SLI cable would even reach from 1st to 3rd slot if I had to do that. And not sure if leaving the 2nd PCI-E slot open would be alright. I know I'm sounding like a noob; but I really am so please bare with these questions.
If that is not the MCP chip can any1 tell me where it is specifically on that board and how I should go about fixing the temp problem.
I have 2x120mm Rear exhaust fans, 240 top exhaust, 3x120 front exhaust fans, and even installed a 120mm Side panel intake fan which I figured would blow right on the MCP chip since people said it was in the southern area, but it has not helped.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

3 x 2GB sounds like a memory kit meant for an Intel system. In the old days non-optimal memory configurations made chipset temp. sky-rocket. But that shouldn't be it nowadays, should it.
At least try with a single stick.
Next comes air-flow. Like Henry says, 'in from the front and out the back or top'. If for example a big processor heatsink blocks the way, parts of the motherboard and the memory will be in a poor air-flow pocket. That is partly your problem I believe, possibly alongside an exhaust fan that is not up to the job.
The chipset has a separate heat sink. If you intend to reseat that heat-sink, you will have to take the motherboard out, and un-fasten it from the back-side. Use tiny pliers if your fingers are too weak.
