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.

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.

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.

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

Msi p55-gd65 problem, can't boot

Hello, yesterday i have tried change graphic card to gtx 480, and after that PC can't boot, even if i have changed to old graphic card. Tried other psu, other graphic, put off bios battery and didnt help.
Here is a video what is going on: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7243958/Wideo0020.3gp

Well lets trace back the steps. It started happening at the time you added the 480.
I don't want to be a pessimist, but there is the possibility that an overload on the PSU may have caused a problem on the 12V circuit of the PSU causing other damage on the 12V board input circuits.
but how motherboard could be damaged, this psu ocz fatal1ty 550w is about 1,5 year old, and its sufficient to turn on it gtx 480, even pc didn't turn on when i changed on gtx 480.

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 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...

New P55-GD65 System with old already installeWindows 7 doesn't boot, Blue screen

I just built my new system with these specs
1. Core i5
2. P55-GD65
3. Kingston 2x2gb 1333Mhz DDR3
4. MSI N275GTX Twin FROZR
5. 650watt PSU
6. Sony DVD/CD RW+
7. BIOS Ver 1.2
I had a 500gb SATA WD HDD which i used with my old system, with windows 7 ultimate 32bit and windows xp 64bit installed. It was working pretty fine with that system. When i built this new rig, i installed the same HDD with it but wt i now face is that my win7 doesn't boot. Soon after windows 7's logo appears, the system reboots after a short blue screen. On reboot win7 asks for a startup repair . . . when i go for it, it fails to repair. I get the following thing in error;
Problem event name: StartupRepairOffline
Problem Signature 01: (win 7's version is listed here - the same goes for Prob Signature 02)
Problem Signature 03: Unknown
Problem Signature 04: 21201167
Problem Signature 05: AutoFailover
Problem Signature 06: 6
Problem Signature 07: CorruptAcl
Locale ID: 1033
I even tried to go for Repair through Windows 7 CD but in vain.
Can anybody help me here. I really don't want to go for a fresh installation.
Regards,
Bkee
P.S
My XP 64bit works pretty fine wid it although some drivers for "SM BUS Controller" and "Base System Cannot" can't be found.. The problem is only wid win7.

Quote
will give a try to install msi drivers using my old system and then connecting the HDD back to this new rig.... Hope it will work...!!!!
That activity is pointless. You cannot install drivers for stuff that is not there on your old system.
Please do yourself a favour and stop dancing around this whole problem (which seems like a pseudo-problem to me). Putting on a fresh installation of the operating system is the first thing that should be done on a new system configuration. Even if you manage to get stuff working without reinstalling, you are working with a potential driver mess and a confused Windows Registry that may throw problems at you that you may currently not be an issue.

MSI P55 GD65 Booting issue [SOLVED]

Hello everyone!
I finished a new build two days ago:
Intel i5-750, 2.66GHz
MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.3, Lotes socket
A-DATA 2x2GB DDR3 1600Mhz CL8 Vitesta Extreme Edition
GIGABYTE ATi R5850 1GB
KINGSTON V-series SSD 64GB SATA
SAMSUNG SpinPoint F3 500GB SATA 7200rpm
Artic Cooling Fusion 550, 550W, dc outputs are mentioned below
and some minor components (optical drives, wifi card etc.)
I started the computer and everything seemed fine. I managed to enter the bios. I was checking H/W monitor and several other options, I didn't change anything. Suddenly (after circa 5mins) the computer shut down and started to turning on and off repeatedly. I stopped the loop by turning off the power supply. I started it again, however it got stuck in the loop imediately. After a while I managed to access the bios again, meanwhile I was trying to find some answers on internet.
I decided to remove all memory sticks (as a lot of topics here in forum which are describing the very same problem sign RAM problem) and started computer. I expected beeps and LED-show. However, the computer didn't start at all! Even fans were not spinning, just nothing (although PSU was giving tension). I put RAM back and computer started. It was like black magic. I tried again, remove RAM - no start, put RAM back - no start too. Mobo went definitely dead. So I RMAed it.
I've obtained a new one, which was:
MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.2, Foxconn socket
I put all the stuff together and started computer. Everything went fine, I managed to enter the bios. Nevertheless, I decided to check RAMs for sure; I changed booting devices, restarted and booted system rescue cd with some utils. I started memcheck basic test. The basic test was fine with no errors, then I started filling with random pattern test. It ran for almost 24h. I wanted to try another exercise test and... computer shut down and the loop was there once AGAIN!
I don't think the mobo is the issue here anymore. I bet on two things: PSU or RAM (I'm not going to think about CPU!)
I don't recall exact dc ouputs but: AC Fusion has 2 12V rails with 17A each. Mobo needs 18A, but as I understand it, I have to check 2 rails combined against the requirement - 34A > 18A, it's okay, isn't it? I've choosen this one as I wanted silent PSU (it performed really good in tests, f.e.: http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3516). I don't have any other similar PSU to swap (neither my friends).
My suspicion is the problem is RAM incompatibility. My RAMs (AD31600E002GU2K) have 1.65-1.8V working voltage. Maybe the mobo sets auto settings badly (I'm not present at my computer now, I left for the weekend); they are not in QVL too (http://eu.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1846.pdf). The problem is I was not able to get into bios before I left. As I read on the internet, P55 is pretty touchy when it comes to RAM. I'm thinking about swapping them for Kingston 2x2GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL7 (http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX1333C7D3K2_4GX.pdf; which are not in QVL either, but KHX1333C8D3K2_4GX are; only latency difference).
Any advices on the whole problem?
P.S.: I've tried CMOS clear on the former one too, no change. As I mention I went through the most of the gd65 booting issues posts here on MSI forum and several others.

Do you think Corsair VX550 550W could do the job? It has a single rail with 41A on 12V. ATi certified Straightpower BQT E6-550W for 5850, which has 4 rails per 18A, but overall 41A too (http://www.be-quiet.net/be-quiet.net/data/media/_stories/216/sp_e6_550_EN.pdf).

P55-GD65 Extremely slow boot

System specs:
Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66Ghz LGA 1156
MSI P55-GD65 LGA 1156
G.Skill 4GB (2x2GB) 240pin DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12v
EVGA GeForce 9800 gtx+
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 7200rpm SATA
Lite-on 24x dvd Writer
Initial boot sequence takes upwards of 10 Mins just to start loading into Windows. Now registering a CMOS checksum settings wrong message but unable to recognize my F1 strike to enter setup.

Tried the ps2 keyboard, still no luck.
The HDD only has Win 7 on it from when I installed it one of the only times it booted completely.
I did notice that when I ran the win 7 system score program, the lowest score was on data transfer with the HDD, but it was only a 5.9 so I figured it was still pretty good.
Is there anything that would cause the motherboard to not even activate the monitor for a couple of mins?

P55-GD65 boots for 1 second then stops

My P55-GD65 worked lovely for over 2 years but now suddenly it does the following:
It boots for 1sec and then stops. During the boot led6 (of the CPU phases) flashes on and the fans start spinning. This process repeats itself every 3 seconds.
I did the following:
checked the PSU by disconnecting the 24pin molex, shorting pins 15 and 16, and verifying all voltages.
Disconnected the supply to all devices, except for the mobo, still the 1second boot behavior.
Removed the 4 memory strips and placed only 1 in the 1st black bank
Maybe worth nothing is that I never switch my comp off, but keep it in standby. Does this wear out some parts?
Somebody an idea what this could be? Or how to debug this?

Quote from: JoopBanaan on 16-March-13, 05:44:18
I did:
--clear cmos
--took another memory strip
--took another but old power supply with 20pins molex
--removed video card
all did not change the 1second boot behavior.
I fear I have to give up the mobo. Is repair a viable way to go?
No, probably best to replace the mainboard. If you buy the board from a computer shop, see if they will test the cpu and PSU for you if you buy the mainboard. Just to make sure.

P55 GD45 won't boot

Recently bought a brand new P55 GD45 got it to boot fine the first time re-installed OS and everything. Started looking at the bios and saw the option to turn on OC Genie, hit save and exit next thing I know my comp goes through a boot cycle but doesn't show anything on-screen and reboots itself. Tried to clear the CMOS reset the jumpers, and took the battery out and this thing still won't boot . Am I not clearing the damn CMOS right or something?

MSI P55-GD65 soft reset issue

I have an issue with soft reset, and restart from Win7 x64 or Ubuntu. After I made these restarts or soft reset, the PC is not responding only for a hard reset or for the power button hold to power off the PC.
I have:
MB: MSI p55-gd65, BIOS is 1.A
RAM: Mushkin 996659es 2x2GB ES3-12800
CPU: Intel Core i7-860 (stock clockspeed)
CPU cooler: Scythe Kama Angle with 3 Scythe 12cm Fans
GPU: MSI GTX260 TwinFrozr OC 896MB
HDD: 500GB Samsung HD502HJ and 1000GB WDC WD10EADS-00L5B1
DVD: NEC/Optiarc DVD RW AD-7240S
PSU: Cougar GX-600
Chassis: Lancool K58 with 2x140cm fans front, 2x140cm fans top, 1x140cm fan side, 1x120cm fan back (all fans are Fractal Design)
And other issue I have is the Turbo Boost not working correctly after I updated the BIOS. It only can 3.34 GHz oc, before 1.A it can do more than 3.5, 3.6 GHz.
All issues came out after a successful BIOS update with LiveUpdate. After I have found the issues I tried BIOS's M-Flash from a pendrive, issues came out again after a time.

I found that the BIOS has a faulty High/Low VDrop usage, because Low VDrop gets the error, but when I change it to High VDrop this error is gone. I haven't tried with OC-ing the CPU yet.

P55-GD65 - SATA port and driver installs for SSD ?

Please can anyone help...
I have a MSI P55-GD65 mb (AMI BIOS v1.2/012.020.000.015) and am about to do a clean install of Win 7 64 bit onto an unused Crucial M4 SSD (firmware rev 010G). After disconnecting my existing HDD from SATA1.....
Q1 Should I update the mb BIOS? I currently have no probs....if it aint broke....
Q2 Which SATA port should I connect the SSD to?
   SATA 1-6 ports are Intel P55, SATA7 is supported by JMicron JMB363
Assuming the next steps are:
   plug CD/DVD drive into SATA 4
   boot into the BIOS, enable AHCI and set the SSD as the primary boot drive after the CD/DVD drive
   boot from the Windows 7 disc and install the OS,
Q3What do I do about installing drivers?
Allow any default drivers to install from Win7, then install drivers from the mb disc (starting with chipset drivers), then update them with the latest from MSI. Or what?
I understand that rebooting after installing each driver (and the updates) is a good idea (NickN from SimForums), but this suggests a lot of reboots !
If some reboots can be left till several drivers are in, at which points should reboots be done if there are 5 or 6 drivers+updates to install? I wouldn't be bothering with any RAID configuration or the floppy drivers.
Finally..
Q4 At what point do I perform the firmware update of the Crucial SSD (to rev 040H) ? I'm assuming a driver install will be required for this.
Thanks

If all is well don't do anything.

Q2 Which SATA port should I connect the SSD to?
SATA 1-6 ports are Intel P55, SATA7 is supported by JMicron JMB363
All of the ports are SATA II, so any port 1-6 would be fine. I suggest port 1 or the purchase of a sata III card. IE:
http://www.amazon.com/SIIG-SATA-6Gb-2-Port-PCIe/dp/B006Q4MGOM/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1368545006&sr=1-3&keywords=sata+iii+card
Although I won't make a huge amount of difference.

Allow any default drivers to install from Win7, then install drivers from the mb disc (starting with chipset drivers), then update them with the latest from MSI. Or what?
I leave the internet disconnected until I have loaded all of the drivers. I also generally do an F6 installation with the most recent AHCI / Raid drivers available if applicable.
Once all of the drivers are install, I connect the internet and let it update.
Quote

If there is a firmware update available, the best thing to do would be to install the ssd in another computer, update the firmware, then place it in your computer. (or keep the existing hdd in for a moment to do this)
Data loss is very possible during an ssd firmware update.
