NF980-G65 problem Cannot installl GPU

This is my 3rd build of a PC, and I have yet to have this problem before.
Here are all the parts I have installed.
MoBo- MSI NF980-G65
CPU- AMD Phenom II X4 955 black edition
RAM - OCZ 2GB DDR3 (x4)
PSU - SilverStone Decathalon 1000W
VGA - (Onboard) and EVGA GeForce 9800GX2
I also have 2 hard drives (1)500GB, and (1)1TB
and 2 DVD-RW drives
Anyways. the build went well initially. I installed everything, and the temps were good on the CPU. (mid 20C range) And then I installed the RAM 1 card at a time. All that went well also. Then I tried to install the Graphics card. This is where thinsg went weird. The board stopped posting. It will power up to the 3rd phase (according to the blue LEDs on the top of the board), and then stop there. I get no intro graphic, and pressing F1, F11, or Delete seem to have no effect. I have rechecked the connections of every wire, and they all check out. The RAM had a memtest run on it between each install, and they all came out fine. I even went back, and checked on the Graphics card, by putting it into another system. No problems there. I even took a chance, and pulled the processor, and checked the pins, which were all perfectly straight. I am at my wits end. PLEASE HELP.

I just got my MSI 980-G65 Mobo today & started reading the manual.
How many Graphics cards are you running? 1 or 2? The book states that if your going to use only one PCIE slot, make sure the GPU is installed in PCIE-2 = Slot #2. You may also want to see it there is a Bios setting for this Slot to boot first. The Book also states that if you are going to use 2 GPU's in SLI mode to be sure to disable Multi GPU in the Bios & make sure to disable Hybrid SLI as well, unless you want Hybrid SLI with only one GPU in PCIE-slot 2 & your running Vista only. Vista is the only OS that supports Hybrid SLI. When you use it, it combines the the video output of the GPU in PCIE2 to the Onboard GPU & you must hook up to one of those ports. Your GPU in PCIE2 will not output video in this mode, you must hook up to the onboard. I haven't read anything about Hybrid support in Windows 7. I was surprized to see how the config of this mobo wants you to set up Duel channel memory. Either 2 or 4 sticks. But with reading more stuff here, & other Tech sites, using 4 sticks in duel channel may slow you down & force you to stay with 2T timings. Using only 2 sticks is best for performance & you may find you can run the ram with 1T timings. I'll be building with this mobo soon.

Msi nf980-g65 problem

Hey,
Last night I put my PC in to hibernate and went to sleep like normal. and this morning I went to turn on my PC.
and the monitor gets nothing.
My Mouse lights up. All my fans turn on.
But there is nothing going to my monitor. my 260GTX's nor on board gfx are having any output.
Ive tried everything listed. Moving ram around. moving the JBAT1 jumper took out the battery. Pressing DEL and later F1 during start up.
Nothing works.
Please help me :(
only 2/4 of the LEDs on the mobo light up.
At first 2 come on and 3rd flickers then it restarts. does this again. restarts. and final it just leaves 2 on.
and there is one short *beep*

NF980-G65 Problem

Last night when I got home from work I went to turn my desktop on and hear a loud pop the desktop powered off and there was a very strong ozone type smell. I unplugged all the cables and opened up the case to see if I could find the source of the problem with no luck..
The PSU jump starts fine and when I hook up the PSU tester all of the rails check out.
All equipment seems to power fine when plugged seperately to the power supply, HDD, DVD burner, etc.
After disconnecting and removing everything from the motherboard to test with just PSU, CPU, and memory PSU cycles up briefly then cuts out, both in and out of case.
On visual inspection there are no scorch marks, or bulging canisters.
When trying to power cycle the mother board the first 3 diagnostic LEDs light up right away the fourth lights for a split second there is a light "static" noise like sparking or arcing but there is no visual electrical arc with all lights off in pitch black room, either in or out of case.
I have also tried all of the above with an identical PSU from a friends system with the same results.
I am at a loss as to what else to test, I am pretty confident it is the motherboard just a little lost as to what in particular since i am unable to locate any arcing or evidence of a blown capacitor.
Ay suggestions would be appreciated.

When you pull the board out, get a magnifying glass and good flash light. If there was arcing you will be able to see discoloration. Burn burns. to smell it away from the computer and hear, it sounds serious, check for ground contact anywhere you can, if its the case, or the case in point, you may have problems with a RMA board too. Like something sharp cutting through the laquer of mobo and making contact to ground. My 2 cents anyway

Re: MSI NF980-G65 problem

I have the same setup... and the problem.... I got it post (with the video card) by putting the ram in slot 1 and 3.... (single channel)... if I move my ram no monitor.

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. First off, I am not a computer tech or know-it-all. I put this system together with no previous experience and it has been running fine till I downloaded Everest and hwmonitor and found that the temperatures of MCP and TMPIN1 is 85-95 C.

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.

NF980-G65 ram problems

when i use GSKILL ram witch i have never had a problem. i use a receiver for all my signals video/audio. so if i ever have any thing happen. i can tell. what the receiver dose is act like the signal is looping every second. but there is never a video signal (just a TV no signal blue screen). that is what happens.
now the cause. i put in extra ram. being 4 GB more. same exact ram. 9-9-9-24
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL Dual Channel Kit - Retail.
a total of 8 GB of ram, but when i did that happened. i take out the ram it was fine. so i thought ok well it could be the new ram. then put the new ram in. then it was fine so long as there was only 4 GB's in . when i put in one of the of the sticks (being 6 GB) 2 GB extra it just did nothing. the board works fine for im using it now to send this, but with 4 GB's of ram and there is an APP i need to use. and can't because it won't hold the extra ram. and when i get the ram working i know i will need a 64-bit windows. the app was using 71 to 82% of 4 GB's of ram. so i need to know if there is something in BIOS i need to set. or if i need different ram.

good info. i did not know most of that. some i did.
i will try 1333 Mhz. i will let you know on this post. if it works. how ever i know that 1066 dose work. the board info.
on the main site. says
Supports Dual DDR3 800/1066/1333/1600/1800/2133 (OC)
- 4 DDR3 DIMMs (240pin / 1.5V)
- Supports a maximum memory size up to 16GB.
i did see that and i check the MSI site. every time i buy a new board. oh and fast reply. im really glad to learn something.
It's down to the CPU[memory controller is build in there] not board.

With 2 sticks - full speed [1333, max. supported native speed by CPU],
with 4 sticks you probably will need to reduce the freq. with one level.[e.g 1066 like its current and works]

NF980-G65 Must press reset button to get post boot problem.

I've seen other posts here & on New Egg where I ordered the MSI 980-G65 Mobo, about when booting for the first time you may find you need to press the reset button to post boot. It seems this is not an isolated problem.
I read the mobo book while building & read the first thing to do is get into the Bios & load optimized defaults on page En-32. I did that & I always have to press the reset button to post boot every time I start up for the first time. Any self restarts after that are ok. I installed Gskill Ripjaw series DDR3 1600Mhz ram & set the voltage for 1.5v. It booted with ram default @ 1333Mhz. I set the NB freq to 1:4 to set it to 16oo Mhz, I thought it was cuz you have to OC the settings to get the ram to run @ 1600Mhz. I still had to press reset to get it to post. I know that making any changes other then keeping default settings may cause these problems. I also read here someone else stated to clear the CMOS, move the ram around & it worked for him. I didn't do that. I decided to load the failsafe defaults, save it, & restart. It booted ok at cold boot. So, back into the Bios I reset all my settings all over again, saved it, rebooted ok from cold start.
One thing to know, The setting for ganged ram @ 128bit is duel channel mode. The unganged setting puts you in single channel mode @ 64bit. Useing 2 sticks, 2X2GB in Dimms 1&2 as per the mobo book duel channel mode arrangement. CPUZ will verify that your in duel channel mode.
My thanks to the person who also posted about this problem.

Hi
I hope you don't mind me replying to this thread but it hasa a lot of my problems in it.
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, as stated previous.
I have it set up with two Nvidia 7800gt G.cards.
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 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.
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, as you are running G-Skill ram do you think i had another problem?
the one i bought was GSKill 4GB DDR3 Dual Channel Memory Kit (2x2GB) PC3-12800 1600MHz (7-8-7-24)
Model Number: F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM
could you confirm the model number of the g-skill in case mine was a differant type.
thank you

Cannot OC NF980-G65 from on-board switch

I have built a system:
Win7 64-bit Professional
NF980-G65 mobo
AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE CPU
8G OCZ DDR3 1600 BE memory
Whenever is try to over-clock via the OC switch on the mobo, my PC hangs in POST. Re-booting takes the BIOS back to its default configuration. Is there anything in the BIOS I should be setting so I can try to OC or has anyone had the experience that the AMD 965 can't be overclocked? Maybe this is related to the fact that I can't get SLI to function on the mobo either (see post in AMD64 nVidia boards section)?

Maybe your RAM limits you ,use a slower speed for the ram and try again.Though the BIOS should provide you enough options to do the HTT overclocking from there directly.
When that switch rises the HTT that value will force a higher speed for the RAM ,more than it can probably suport.Using some other RAM devider will lforce the RAM float under it s limit.The CPU itself can limit you too or the Northbridge speed.Decrease the NB multiplier as well if the ram trick doesnt work.
Good Luck!

SLI compatiblity issues with NF980-G65

Hi, I consider myself average for tech knowledge. Just enough to get myself into trouble.
I currently have a NF980-G65. I just upgraded to a second GTX 470 from nVidia for SLI. However when I run any application that is SLI compatible the bottom half of the screen shakes and wobbles. This happens even if I swap GPU positions on the board, so I know its not the GPU itself, and only happens when SLI is enabled. I contacted nVidia, we troubleshot for a while, but they concluded it was the BIOS. I tried finding an updated BIOS on the site, but it seems the latest version isn't compatible with Windows 7 64bit.
At this point I'm at a loss as to what to do to fix this.

Quote from: UnseenGuardian on 03-August-10, 03:31:05
I am having very similar problems, same mobo as you but different cards. I noticed this right away after building the rig and playing Starcraft 2, bottom half of screen glitches and flashes. Cards are both good. I have narrowed it down as well to something in the SLI bridge (or the way the PCI bus is used with the bridges connected), because once removed the problem goes away.
Now I have done benchmarking in Heaven Benchmark 2.0, and have found about a 3-5% drop in frame rates with the SLI Bridge REMOVED. This is not very significant, so at worse case scenario you could try leaving the bridge off and benchmarking to see if you get similar results.
I would obviously prefer to have a bridge for the extra boost in performance but with the glitches I would rather have them gone.
I would like to try this to see if I can have the best SLI performance and no glitching, mrinfinit3, could you help a guy out with a link to how you got your asus SLI bridge? I am concerned that if I buy a 'hard bridge' it won't fit as all mobo manufacturers seem to have slightly different distances between slots.
I'm sorry it took so long to reply to ya bud... ya here's the link http://estore.asus.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=229
I'm using 2 of them (one on each finger) you'll notice rite away that they fit better (more resistance when sliding the on)
I personally got mine from misc. asus builds Ive done for customers here in @ the shop. I have an asus hard bridge but it's slightly too long for the 16x-16x slots.. but since this issue has happened..
I'm getting a rather large collection of MSI bridges now. lol

NF980 driver problems

My system:
Phenom II 965 BE 125 watt version
MSI NF980 motherboard bios 1.0
4gb Patriot 1333 mhz DDR3 7-7-7-20 1.7v RAM
GTX 275
300gb Velociraptor
300gb SATA hard drive (forget the brand)
Seasonic 750watt PSU <--- dead, awaiting replacement
Windows 7 nVidia Edition
Problem:
Cannot flash bios with m-flash (recently found out that m-flash doesn't work well, will try to update with forum provided flashing once I get a new power supply, the seasonic just died).
Running off of onboard video: tried to update/install drivers: blue screen, or completely blank screen
Methods of trying to install drivers: from nVidia, from provided CD (or is it a DVD? doesn't mattter in either case), from MSI, from Windows update utility. Tried installing with both hybrid SLI enabled and disabled.
Most of the time, it ends up in a blank screen, and I'll have to reset it. No drivers are installed (still shows up in Windows update as an item to be installed).
I don't think the bios version should have that much of an effect on the drivers you install, so any ideas? Or do I just have a bad motherboard?
Oh, and any idea what it means when the power LED flashes 3 times? It happened a couple of times when I tried to start it up, wiggling around the main power connector usually cleared up the problem and let it start normally. This morning, however, it flashed 3 times, there was a loud pop, and the power supply was gone.
Oh yeah, and as of this post, this system is approximately 1 day old.

Ok, well, I'm still not sure everything is running properly. The nVidia software cannot start, and it cannot detect the chip. GPU-Z detects the chip just fine, but it the GPU Load, Memory Controller Load, and Video Engine Load all show 0%, even while playing games. I haven't reinstalled the GTX 275 yet, running on an Antec 350 watt power supply while waiting for the Seasonic to come back from RMA. I tried uninstalling the nVidia display drivers so that I can reinstall them and see what happens, and I end up with a blue screen again.
Blue screen message: Video card driver cannot recover from timeout or something along those lines.
Update:
Reinstalled the drivers in normal mode (not safe mode), and after trying a couple of times (rebooting the system at least 3 or 4 times), I got it to install without a reboot/blue screen. I guess my system is very temperamental, either that, or the millionth time is the charm. In either case, working properly now, nVidia control panel comes up correctly, etc. Now to do something about the temperature... (76 C min on idle, over 90 C on load in a Cooler Master Cosmos case with 4 70+ CFM fans and one 60 CFM fan).
And any idea what Temp2 in speedfan is? It's showing a temperature of 94C. And no, it is not the GPU, the GPU shows 78C as of the time this was written.

GTS250s in SLI on NF980-G65 mobo

I have installed two GTS250s on a NF980-G65 mobo. One is in PCI-e slot 1 (closest to CPU) and the other is in PCI-e slot three. I'm running:
Win 7 Pro 64-bit
MSI NF980-G65 mobo
AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE CPU
8G OCZ 1600 BR RAM
For the life of me, I cannot get the second card (slot 3) to SLI. Whenever I go into the nVidia control panel and select SLI, any game I start has red bars flickering down the screen that disappear when SLI is not configured. Another thing is that the nVidia System monitor shows that all the third card's speeds have been reduced by 2/3's (hopefully I can attach a screen print of this display which also shows that the mobo's bus speed for these slots is exactly the same). This problem is the same if the boards are reversed or placed in the one and two slots (doing this causes whichever board that's in slot one to extremely overheat because of the close tolerances between the two boards).
Is there a SLI configuration that I'm missing in the BIOS? I'm running nVidia driver 197.45 so it's the most current.
Sorry, I seem to not be able to insert any picture or document here showing the screen print of the low speeds.
Is this a mobo, card manufacturer or nVidia problem?

Could be something to do with CPU Throttling and Windows Power Settings. Check under 'Control Panel/System and Security/Power Options' and 'Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Power Options'. Believe the theory is to set your Power settings up for "Performance". Don't know for sure, just remember reading something about it from research I've done before. Came across what I just mentioned from Googling "windows 7 power settings and sli".
EDIT: OK, I found something else I was looking for. When under 'Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Power Options' , when you select 'High Performance', continue on and click on "Change plan setting", then on next window click on "Change advanced power settings". Check there for any SLI settings and in particular for 'PCI Express/Link State Power Management', select "Off". Under "Processor power management", set the 3 settings shown under it for 100%, Active, and 100% respectively. You'll find that under CP/S&S/PO, the same setting. Go ahead and be redundant and check to see the settings you changed under Hardware and Sound show there as well.

NF980-G65 Not seeing all HDDs

Hello all. Got a small issue here. Just put together a new build. The issue is i have 5 HDDs. SATAs 1-4 show their HDDs just fine. SATA 5/6 will not show the HDD connected to either one of them. All HDDs do work. I have swapped them around. I have changed SATA cables as well. Now using the ones that came with the new mobo. In the BIOS, the SATA is set to IDE. I am not running RAID at all. But when i do change the SATA to RAID, i can see all 5 HDDs in the boot up. But then it gives the BSOD and reboots. So no-go there. Any help or ideas is much appreciated.

RAM: Adata 2x4GB DDR3 PC2000
CPU: AMD Phenom II 965 Black Edition 3.4Ghz
OS: WindowsXP at the moment.
No OCing is being done at all. THanks again.

I had the same problem installing my NF980-G65. No manual anywhere said anything about ports 5 and 6 being used as RAID only. I finally found the work-around:
To resolve this issue, enable the AHCI driver in the registry before you change the SATA mode of the boot drive. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Exit all Windows-based programs.
2. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
3. If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
4. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlS etServicesMsahci
5. In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
7. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor
After this you’ll have to restart your computer, go to BIOS and enable AHCI. When you log in to Windows again, you’ll notice the installation of drivers for AHCI. Another restart will be required to finish the driver installation.

Basically after fidgeting with the bios for 2-3 hours I found that I was running version 1.1 so I made an attempt to update my bios to 1.4 because in 1.3 they added support for 6 core processors. Well after I forced flash it wont display video at all or power any USB devices. I believe the error message before I flashed it was something like ROM ID miss match? Any suggestions?

I do just have one quick question. I was planning on using the >>MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< to update my BIOS on the new board that I am receiving after the RMA. However I noticed that in the Preconditions & System Requirements it said that Quote
The main precondition for using the tool is a working & healthy Windows installation on the system that needs the BIOS flash.
Is there anyway to update the BIOS on the board with no windows install on that system? The problem is that I cant install windows because the board won't recognize my CPU. Any recommendation would be great... Thanks again for your help!

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.
