P55-GD65 won't post

Hi,
My system has been working fine for over a year now, and all of a sudden it has stopped working. It will not post, and beep error code I get is one long beep, and two short beeps.
If anyone could help with this issue it would be greatly appreciated.
Spec:
CPU: i7-860
RAM: 2 x 4Gb G.Skill
PSU: 530W Corsair
GPU: Radeon 5770 1Gb

Your PSU is actually 18A per rail with a total of 40Amps over the three 12V rails, which should be sufficient for your system, as the minimum recommended is ~34A with your GPU, assuming nothing has gone wrong with the PSU.
How many power connectors are on your GPU, and have you got them all connected ?
Only add the bare minimum, i.e. only one RAM module, your OS HDD. Do a CMOS clear  >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Then retry and advise.

  • P55-GD65 won't POST with SLI

    Hi, I seem to have quite a strange problem - I have 2 nV 8800GTS 512MB cards, both work perfectly when "single", but as soon as I put them both in the PC won't start up - no signal to the display, no sign of booting. Interesting things are that the CPU phase LEDs are acting weird - after a few seconds, first 4 of them shut down and only LED #5 and 6 keep illuminated, sometimes after another few seconds the first 4 start flashing quite rapidly. Another thing is that one of the cards (always the one in the "lower" slot) keeps in the "startup" mode, with the fan on maximum RPM, the upper card quits it normally after a few seconds.
    I suspected the PSU since it is rated only 650W, but both 12V rails are capable of powering each of the cards in 3D Mark, so I don't think it would be a problem for it to power them on startup.
    Any ideas what may be the problem? Or at least a hint to narrow it down, since I now suspect both graphic cards, the PSU and the mainboard of being faulty and have no idea which to eventually replace.

    Just did a bit of testing, the flashing LEDs thing turned out to be associated with Intel SpeedStep - apparently, as it lowers the multiplier, it also lowers the voltage down to approx. 0.95V and the LEDs go haywire. When I tried the SLI configuration with SpeedStep off, the LEDs remained lit and voltage readout on the multimeter was stable.
    I also tried "stressing" the 12V rail by running both the GPU and the HDDs on it while running World In Conflict benchmark (don't really have anything better here at the moment) and it didn't seem to have any problems.
    Just to clarify, according to the sticker on the PSU there are 4 12V rails, each 15A, one to CPU (4-pin connector), one to GPU (6 pin), one for IDE+SATA(+2nd GPU with an adapter) and one for I don't know what, with a 4-pin connector similar to the CPU one, only all 4 "slots" are perfectly square, no beveled corners as on the CPU one.
    Anyway, I'll try to get someone to lend me some better PSU, but I doubt I would be successful, so if anyone has any more ideas on how to test it it will be greatly appreciated 

  • P55-GD65 Won't soft boot.

    Updated my P55-GD65 to bios 1.6 and ever since my computer won't soft reboot via Windows. If I try to reboot in any normal matter from Windows the computer fully restarts up to just before an actual post and sits there until I either turn it off and back on or use the hard reset button. If I change settings in the bios and it soft reboots the machine it still posts, only happens from Windows.
    System Specs:
    Windows 7 Ultimate x64
    1x Seagate Sata II 500GB (Boot Drive)
    2x Seagate Sata II 1TB (Raid 0)
    4x Patriot 1600EL 2GB RAM sticks (Using EMP timings)
    2x Sapphire Radeon 4870 (Crossfire)
    I have disabled OC Genie and hard set the CPU multiplier to 21x.

    Newer hardware having compatibility issues with Win 7 doesn't really points to BIOS update, more to driver issues most of the time. Anyway, in the future, only update the BIOS if you have BIOS related issues like unable to boot from USB, controllers not working for examples. Now, you have to try to roll back to the last working version and see if you can get the system to normal.

  • MSI P55-GD55 Won't post 3 Beeps-Need Assistance

    Built many PCs but never had a problem like this.  Starting to think MB is bad.
    Built this in Dec 2008
    MSI P55-GD55
    A-DATA Gaming Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
    Intel Core i5-750
    OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ500MXSP 500W

    Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB
    COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus Cooler
    2 weeks ago PC would do nothing at all after I turned off and then tried to restart.  Thought I had bad power supply, but it checked out. Cleared cmos  by removing battery and turned off oc genie and that seemed to cure problem.
    Left PC on ever since.  Had to turn off yesterday to check unrelated network issue and when I tried to restart It won't post.   Just get 3 beeps.  No video.  Nothing.  Tried to clear cmos, switch memory sticks, only use one mem stick in slot 1 and I get nothing but 3 beeps.  Very unlikely that both sticks are bad.  Tried powering on from internal switch and got nothing but 3 beeps.  Beeps are less than 1 second in duration so I guess they are short beeps.   
    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
     If I have to RMA to MSI how long does it take to get replacement?  What do I have to send to MSI, all contents of retail box or just the board?

    I am ready to toss this board and buy another unless I can get this working.
    At the moment there is know certainty about the definate cause for your problem.  What makes you so sure that the board is the cause (and not your CPU (which hosts the memory controller, after all), faulty RAM sticks (have you tested every single stick of RAM you have in the first slot (check user manual) and cleared CMOS (with A/C power cable unplugged from PSU before each new start-up attempt)?).
    A contact problem between CPU Pads and board socket pins could also cause this (please reseat CPU and heatsink).  Another possible cause is a short-circuit problem inside the case (test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface).

  • P55-GD65 won't boot with OC Genie activated

    I have an P55-GD65 mobo that runs just fine with no problems except when I tried to activate the OC Genie. When I pressed the button and then tried to boot the machine -- it would begin the boot process then reboot over and over again without actually completing the boot process. When I pressed the OC Genie button again to deactivate it -- the machine booted just fine.
    I've got Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed.
    What is my problem and how do I fix it so the OC Genie works?
    Thanks,
    Crockett

    What is your current BIOS Version?

    What memory frequency, timings and Comman Rate does the BIOS set when everything is set to default (check with CPU-Z)?
    The BIOS has a tendency to automatically set the Command Rate to 1T instead of 2T which causes stability problems in many cases.
    Quote
    If the RAM is running at 1600MHz the OC Genie won't work properly.
    There is a flip site to this kind of observation:  The CPU does not natively support DDR3-1600 and most modules sold as DDR3-1600 are actually just factory overclocked DDR3-1333 modules that require higher than standard voltages settings to have a chance to run stable.  This in itself already is an inherently tricky situation that does not get better when you enable the OC Genie.

  • MSI p55 gd65 will not post

    hey guys i'm having problems with my MSI p55 gd65
    the build is
    i7 860
    msi p55 gd65
    antec signiture 650w
    ati 3450
    seagate 7200 400GB hdd
    8GB Corsair xms3 1333mhz
    ( i know some parts are under powered but it is going to form the basis of my new home server)
    anyway i managed to get server 2008 R2 installed last night so all was working for a while but after restarting after changing the comp name and registering with Microsoft (i.e first actions) the computer refuses to post.
    upon pressing the power button the power supply ticks as though there is a shot in the build somewhere , however i have tried to build this both inside and outside of a case and the same occurs.
    Thinking it could be a psu issue i tried powering another machine with the psu and it fired no problems.
    so i thought i would strip down the mother board to basics and ran the board with memory and cpu only the same occurred i have tried various different combinations of Hardware but to no avail. the only little joy i did have is when i removed the 4 pin mobo connector and then hte board starts going into a loop of lighting up the board leds for less than a second then tripping out as previous
    i have tried reseting bios on various occasions
    i have tried everything i can think of is it time to RMA the board i just feel that there is something i maybe overlooking

    I have tried both of the above and the same still occurs
    i have tried a different  psu from the machine i am typing from now and had no joy
    i believe for whatever reason my motherboard is dead (or at least shorting for some reason)
    unless there are any other ideas i think i'm going RMA

  • Z77A-GD65 won't post

    My newly built PC wouldn't start the other day:
    Z77A-GD65 motherboard
    Core i5 3570K
    8GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
    GTX 660
    Corsair TX 750W PSU
    Corsair Hydro 100i CPU Cooler
    Corsair Obsidian 650D tower
    It sort of tried to power up, fans would start spinning and then 1 second later it would all power down. This cycle would continue until I switched it off at the PSU. I took a look inside and noticed that the DRMOS red LED was lighting up. The LED 1 was also flashing blue.
    All the reading I did on the problem suggested either the PSU or the motherboard was on the blink, so before I RMAed the motherboard I bought a new Corsair CX 750M PSU and set the motherboard on a wooden table top with just the RAM, CPU and standard Intel cooler inserted.
    Now the DRMOS light no longer comes on but the LED 1 light flashes and goes out, the system "reboots", this cycle continuing until I switch off the power. The CPU fan isn't even spinning up now though.
    Now 2 things:
    1. The motherboard I got cheap as an "open box" item from Aria PC, so I have a feeling it may have been dodgy to begin with.
    2. My old PSU didn't have an 8-pin EPS connector so I bought an adapter than plugged into the old style standard 4-pin IDE drive power connector. I hope this hasn't somehow fried the motherboard!
    I can't find anything that tells me what the LED 1 light flashing on its own in this way means. Does anyone know?
    Please tell me it's just the motherboard that's fried and not my beloved 3570K!
    Should also say the debug LED panel doesn't even light up with any values and I've also tried switching the BIOS to A (it was set to B for some reason). I've also tried clearing the CMOS. Didn't help.

    A0 is IDE Detect if its stopping there your drive mode sounds like its not set correctly as its not seeing your OS drive if its hanging! and AD is Ready to Boot Event (loading OS) this is either a OS from a different chipset or a bad drive mode or both happening!
    Agree. It sounds so close to working. Maybe the onboard graphics will work to try and figure out how to get it set up right. 
    Also sounds like he may need a clean formatted HDD/SSD to place a fresh OS install on.

  • 890FXA-GD65 Won't post.

    Got the board in the mail today and assembled my "new" build, which is to say there are a few parts recycled from an older build, and the computer boots up through the MSI logo screen. Then for an instant flashes the POST screen. After that the screen just begins to flash a little dash at the upper left corner. I've tried to see where the board screws up at the beginning but it's just too quick to be seen.
    I've tried booting it with unplugging everything the video card unplugged, and I still had the same problem. So I turn to here for anything else that can/should be done.
    Thanks in advance!

    CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 970
    RAM: Currently looking to replace the current RAM, since I think it might be the problem. But it is currently Kingston 8gb DDR3, with 4 2gb sticks. 
    HDD: WD Caviar Blue 500gb, 7200RPM
    Video card is a nVidea 9800 1gb of ram.
    PSU is a brand new Antec Earth watts 530W.
    All other peripherals are unplugged, which include a DVD drive, and wireless card, and a PCI-E firewire card.
    No OS is installed, since I reformatted the drive to see if it fixed anything.
    Am I forgetting anything?

  • P55-GD65 registers only half of memory (now won't even boot)

    Hi
    i have big problem with deployment of new system. Specs :
    MSI P55-GD65
    Patriot Sector 5 PGV34G1600ELK 2X2GB
    Intel i7 860
    CHIEFTEC 500W
    NV 7900 gs (connected for diagnostic reasons)
    First, BIOS recognized only half amount of RAM (2gb from 4gb)
    -updated BIOS to 1.5 - nothing changed
    -cleared CMOS and restored defaults - nothing changed
    Second, i tried to instal win7/win2008r2 - freezes after installation booting progress bar disappears (tried to boot from USB key and from network deployment server)
    Then, i tried to install win2003 - success! but system works unstable (eg once frozen at cinebench multicore test, once BSOD while booting etc)
    CPU-Z recognized properly amount of installed RAM (and said that dual channel is disabled), but system still says that is only 2 gigs of ram.
    Then, i found on this board that CPU bented pins could cause the problem, so i checked pins, and they seems to look fine (Hi res photo of pins)
    After i mounted CPU back, the system event won't boot - all six CPU phase diods on main board are active, fans turns on, but boot process won't start.
    Anyone know is there any way to fix it? (before i give back everything to vendor)

    i just bought my MSI P55-GD80 yesterday. i just hope i wont be getting the same issue as some other guys do.
    im planning on building my new rig tomorrow because i dont have my memory cards and video card yet(might get these items tomorrow).
    so yeah, i will be checking the CPU seating. will try to seat it once then remove it for the pin contacts checking. and i hope too that the mobo i got has at least the 1.4 BIOS version, because to tell the truth i never done any BIOS flashing before(actually ive done it once with my XPS 630i rig and it went easy for me to do. i dont know whats the procedure for the MSI boards so no idea at all). and to tell the truth, this is my first time building my own rig so im a bit excited and i prioritize durability(long lasting) and always hoping not to get any problem building my very own rig for the first time.
    **so here is my question :
    how will i know if the CPU pad doesnt have a good contact with the socket pins?
    what should i do if after checking i find out that my CPU pad doesnt have a good contact with the socket pins?
    what if after checking i find out my CPU doesnt have good contact with the socket pins but with my GD80 reading 4gb of my memory cards?
    if you wanna know where i got my board, i bought it here in japan from a known computer parts retailer. and yes im living here for now and its really hard for me to return my product if its faulty because, first im not that good at speaking japanese language, and second they might have different procedure for returning products that i might not know.
    thanks in advance, will appreciate any help and reply,
    Skaahr
    ***edited : i just checked the sticker from my mobo which i read from the other topic that tells it shows the BIOS version in your mobo, the tiny green sticker shows me this " IMS140 " does it means i have the 1.4 BIOS version?

  • P55-GD65 takes long time in BIOS before booting

    Did a search on "long boot" but nothing relevant.
    Sorry if this has been already covered.
    First MSI board after two Giga-bytes:
    P55-GD65
    Core i5-650
    2x Corsair XMS3 DDR3 (DDR1333), total 4GB
    ATA133 HDD
    SATA DVD-RW
    MSI R4550 graphics card
    Windows XP SP3
    The system runs OK as it is, although I haven't really beat on it yet.
    It just takes a really long time in the BIOS before it gets around
    to booting the system.
    Power up to initial BIOS screen 14 sec
    Shows "USB Device(s)..." for about 45 seconds, then shows the
    ATA and SATA devices for an instant, then blank screen.
    35 seconds after that to Windows boot
    Is there any setting I can tweak to speed this up?
    I had hoped this rig would be faster than the GA-7DXR+Athlon
    XP 1.9 it is hopefully going to replace.
    I read another post about memory timimg, but BIOS shows 1333.
    Thanks all...

  • [WTA] MSI P55-GD65 6 phase on all the time? Where's APS?

    Hello, First Post here..
    I bought a MSI P55-GD65 lately and it runs spectacular and overclocks nicely. the newer BIOS 1.6 is noticably more stable when High VDroop is used than the BIOS 1.5, resulting in more power-efficient system of my own despite overclocking  .
    But nonetheless, i have some issues i would like to be answered:
    1. When I use BIOS 1.5, the core voltage would be dropped to 0.896 (CPU-Z) when i set the core voltage as auto and all the power saving features enabled (C1E & EIST Enabled, C6 state selected, Turbo Mode off). but when i flash into BIOS 1.6, the same setting does not result in decreased voltage, the core clock still slows down though like it used to be. Maybe the next revision of BIOS will fix it?
    2. I searched this forum about APS on P55-GD65, i have found that somebody here had testified that the BIOS 1.6 fixes the all-phase-working problem, as i was having the same problem too. Then i decided to flash to 1.6 too (which work flawlessly with your USB Flasher by the way, kudos  ). But the problem still persists. APS only works when i apply through Control Center. i wonder about APS statement of "will work regardless of operating system" is a true and automated one. And yeah, i have tried to clear CMOS and run it on nominal mode and still no changes from BIOS 1.5. The 6 phase LED is lit all the time unless i "apply" in Control Center.
    My Current system are:
    MSI P55-GD65 (Lotes ILM)
    I5 750
    HD 5770
    Silverstone Zeus 750Watt
    WDC Black 500GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Thanks for your attention. 

    Quote from: chrisjb on 19-January-10, 17:13:56
    you have to run the cpu at default settings so (133mhz X multiplier) the slight overclock of the cpu will disable power saving so all the phase leds will constantly be lit up.
    Have the multiplier running at 160 because of XPM 1600 memory blocks, and the board runs with 2/3 phases in normal mode.
    Are using BIOS 1.3 because of XPM problems with other versions.

  • P55-GD65 Problem Freezes / Shuts Down unexpextedly

    Hi all,
    I've recently received a replacement P55-GD65 part for my pc upgrade. The first mobo was broken but I'm not sure wether the current one is any better.
    I have a freezing problem with my set up. After I power up it goes to post and lauches windows. However, within 5 to 10 minutes the system just shuts down on its own. Sometimes this happens already in BIOS when I've been looking around for a solution for some time.
    After power down pressing the power button doesn't help. I have to disconnect power cord from PSU and wait a bit before reconnecting for the power button to work again.
    I've been reading other posts and people have the similar problems, but none of the solutions have resolved my problem.
    I've tried putting OC genie on - no solution.
    I've tried using only 1 memory - no solution. and yes I've taken the memories out and reincerted them.
    I've tried setting BIOS to optimized defaults - no solution.
    I've tried setting memory speed down from Geil automatic 1333MHz to 1060MHz - no solution.
    I've tried setting memory voltage up from Geil automatic 1,5V to 1,6V - no solution.
    I've tried taking CPU out and replaced it in the socket - no solution.
    I've updated Intel drivers from MSI website.
    I've updated other drivers from the CD that came with the mobo.
    BIOS version is 1.3
    There has been a lot of discussion about corsair memory modules but none about the GEIL ones I have. Has anyone experience with the memory I have? According to MSI website P55-GD65 is tested with a dual setup of 2g Geil memory that I have, and should be ok.
    Can anyone lend a hand so that I can get my pc running. This has by far been the most troublesome upgrade for me.
    Thanks for replies!

    To me it looks like not a single one of you has bothered to up date BIOS which has over time had numerous memory compatibility fixes.
     Update BIOS, get Crucial RAM.

    I am not able to update the bios because my pc would crash before allowing me to. I asked MSI to update the BIOS before sending the board to me.

  • Does MSI P55-GD65 support eSata hot-plug?

    I believe the title is self-explanatory, but I'll explain anyway..
    I have a MSI P55-GD65 motherboard which has an onboard eSata port. I have a second eSata port in the front plate of my case.. The thing is, that the only way for it to recognize my eSata external hard drive, is if the drive is connected and powered BEFORE I boot my PC. Not very convenient when it comes to portable devices. Is there anything I have to change in the BIOS or any drivers I should install (for Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) so that I can power on and off my drive while my PC is working?

    Actually, I did some more digging after my post, I figured out how to do it (I tweaked the registry because I had installed Windows 7 with sata mode set to IDE), and now it works fine..
    There's only one issue. My external drive does not appear in the devices I can "safely remove". So I don't know how risky it is to just turn of my HDD while the PC is powered on..

  • P55-GD65 BIOS bug

    Hi! I`m having compatibility problems with my imon remote/reciever! It is supposed to turn the computer ON but the BIOS won`t let it! There`s no option in the BIOS for turning on the computer by USB device! It works by shorting the power button pins, but if the USB cable is connected it doesn`t work.

    Songokussm the same issues I reported to support, they responded to me, that my MB is faulty and I should RMA ( did it twice, 4 month without MB ) I prove them otherwise, I had 3MB P55-GD65 with the same issues. Short speaking every MB with ERP=040 is faulty on engineering level Overvoltage like you described, problems with fans on sysfan1 and sysfan2, restore AC on power loss not working correctly and sometimes USB2 stops responding.
    My conversation with MSI support ended when they statement that they can`t check if I`m correct because they don`t have MB with ERP=040, so the problem is .... gone  I bet that with bios 1.9 in your case issue still occur but is`t less "visible".

  • Problems with MSI P55-GD65

    Hello,
    I purchased an MSI P55-GD65 mobo approximately a month ago and have been having some problems with it. When I first started it, everything turned on fine. I attempted using OC Genie and began to encounter problems restarting the computer. Either the computer would turn on but I would receive a blank black screen and would have to perform a hard shutdown, or the computer would turn on, stay on for 3 seconds, then reboot. I realize the latter problem is an overclocking protection measure. Occasionally the computer would start right off the bat, but this is a rare event. At first I thought this was due to bad overclocking, so I set all BIOS settings to default. It seemed to work fine for a few days, but now I am experiencing these problems with default settings. I am currently testing both sticks of RAM with memtest. During testing of 1 stick, my computer went to a black screen and stopped responding. However, I have been unable to reproduce this effect and so far no errors are being reported. I reseated the CPU to reset my fan, yet the problems began before this. I think it might be the RAM,but I am worried that either I have a short (in which case I wouldn't know how to find it), or I have a damaged motherboard (in which case I am past my RMA date). Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! 

    Hey, thanks for the quick response! I have cleared CMOS and am currently retesting. I will update with further results. Additionally, I forgot 1 more symptom. When the POST screen comes up, it turns into a blank white screen and I have to perform a hard shutdown. This has only happened twice though.
