P67A-c43: Boot Screen / Status Codes / 35-40 sec hang

I have a P67A-C43 motherboard. Everything's working fine, but when I boot, I get a black screen with a white underscore cursor blinking in the upper left and a code in the lower right of B4. It will stay that way for about 35 seconds, then the codes will quickly change 99 92 82 A3. The MSI splash screen will come up and then Window (7) will launch and 15 seconds later, I'm at the log-in screen. Is there anyway to speed this up? I admit, booting up in less than a minute is OK, but the fact that 40 seconds of it is waiting for the BIOS to load kills me.

You did not provide your system spec. >>Posting Guide<<
Without having that magic crystal ball I can only assume that it consists of the following:
P67A-C43
i5-2500K
2 x 4 GB Corsair DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9-24 1.50V Memory
Ultra V Series 500Watt ATX Power Supply
64GB Kingston SSD
1 TB HDD (not installed yet)
SATA DVD-ROM
XFX Radeon HD 6850 Black Edition
Can you confirm this and if this is your system, can you please advise what the amp rating is of the 12V rail on that PSU ? And do add a signature to your profile containing your system specs. Makes life easier for everyone.
What happens if you physically disconnect the SSD and only connect the HDD ?

P67a-c43 boot problem

hello i tryed to built my new computer. have a p67a-c43 motherboard, i5 2400 cpu , ati hd2400 grafikcard, 2*2 gb corsair xms3 memoris, and a i-cute 600w psu.
my problem is the pc is working fine whit 1 pice of memory , but doesent want to boot whit dual, no beep ,nothing on the screen.

With one stick of RAM, first thing I would try is to raise DRAM V. manually in the BIOS. If default is 1.472V's, I would recommend a bump to 1.521V's in BIOS DRAM V. setting. This should set it to about 1.504V's, shut down & add the second stick & give it a try.

but doesent want to boot whit dual
Have you also tested the second stick in the primary slot to make sure it is ok?

P67a-c43 boot loop after bios update

Last night, I attempted to update the bios on my P67A-C43 (B3) board using the version 5.1 bios. After the BIOS installed, it restarted and came up with the "all settings were reset to default values. press f1 to run setup. press f2 to continue" I hit f2 and my system keeps resetting in an infinite boot loop. I was able to reset the BIOS using the reset button on the back of the board to get back to the bios prompt, but pressing either f1 or f2 puts it back into the boot loop. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
The blue screens started after a clean Bios flash to the 18b10 bios then eventually it stopped working complety (just doing the start up cycle over and over)
I had tried reseting cmos and it doesnt make a difference, the motherboard will not post , boot , start up at all so default settings cant be set (although reseting cmos would set to default anyway)
Each time the board goes through the start up cycle (i.e. upon pressing start button the board will start up with fans spinning for a second then shut down, start up again with fans spinning for a second then shut down, continuasly repeating until main power is removed) I have used a multimeter to measure the voltage read points on the board and they show that there is no vcore being suplied to the cpu but all other points show the voltage is being supplied to those componants, so imo that is where the problem lies and I would sugest that the other ppl who are having this issue to also try measuring the voltage read points and see if the same thing is happening on thier boards .
If others are getting the same results (no vcore) then the msi techs should be informed of this issue..(imo)
1.8b10 still is a beta bios. I got random bluescreens with that one also at some point a blinking bios led. So I flashed back from secondary bios (using the first option (change disable in enable)in "security" in the EFI shell to allow flashing from secondary bios), blinking bios led now stopped, Then I flashed with 1.7, no issues sofar cpu now running stable at 4.5Ghz (already 2 days).

Msi 990FXA GD80 first boot screen freezes code 99

My problem is like the one in this thread https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=156470.0 .. i push power button ,all those codes start,one beep on the speaker,and get stuck on the 99 code
The difference is that on the screean apears: the bios version (11.7) ,the processor name(amd fx 8150) the ddr3 memory loads, hard disks( i have 2 hard disk) even recognize a usb stick is one is inserted all that stuff apear,and press f1 to load setup f2 to continue,eror 99 on the right bottom corner of the screen.. and if i press to enter bios a display message apear "preparing to enter setup..." and freezes like this.
If i reset the sistem i get black screen. I clear cmos ..and same story over again
I did try to change the processor,i have a amd phenom2 1055t,i changed the memory module,kinston,corsair,i upluged hard drives...same think,no diference
I did try to recover bios from usb (ctrl+home AMIBOOT.ROM) nothing works, i spend 2 days reading stuff on forum, i-am out of solutions
PLS HELP!! It is a bios problem or something ealse?
I have a 650w power supply ,and the video card is radeon 6950

First you state nothing happens, then you state the keyboard does work.
It seems you expect us to see everything you do and understand your cryptic descriptions.
Sorry, but this is going nowhere. Either you start telling us (in detail) what happens and what stuff your computer is made off, or we lock the topic.

Corsair makes loads of memory modules, no clue what you have as you lack specs, but it can be the reason.

I have a macbook pro 13" 2011, When my computer boots I get code on my boot up screen and then my computer shuts off and then restarts. Its an endless loop, as my computer tries to boot up.

I have a Macbook Pro 13", that was purchased in 2010-2011. So randomly yesterday, when I boot up my computer I got to the boot screen, then code popped up on my screen. ** I have attached an image of the code below.** But after the code pops up, my computer shuts down, and tries to boot up again. This is an endless loop and doesn't get passed the boot screen. The code shows up everytime.
I personally believe this might be a software issue and not a hardware. Please feel free to shoot out any ideas or a translation of what the code is referring to.
THINGS I HAVE ALREADY DONE:
- Reset the PRAM by holding CMD+Option+P+R
- Gone into Safemode and tired to verify the Harddrive.
- Please don't comment saying, "take out the battery." , "hold the power button for.." , None of that sh#* works.
Below is three different links for the same image. (just in case, **** breaks).

What happens if you boot holding the command S keys down?
If it stays running in single user mode
try the command
fsck -fy
You could try holding the option key on bootup, to see if presents you with a startup disk however
It looks as if you need to reistall the OS.

P67A-C43 (B3) minor weirdness.

Hey all,
Got a system here that's solid as a rock, except for a few small issues:
1) Very occasionally, system refuses to POST on cold boot (hangs at status code A3 or B3). I've had this about 3 times in the past 3 months, and a hard reboot always fixes it. Could be high Vdroop on one of the rails, but I've never tested it.
2) Recently (just noticed it about 2 days ago), USB keyboard/mouse aren't recognized for about 30 seconds after boot to Windows 7 login screen, can't toggle Numlock/Capslock either during this time. I noticed that this only started to happen when I plugged the hub into one of the USB 3 ports, so it might just be the Renesas USB3 driver taking its time. Weirdly, keyboard and mouse both work in getting to/using UEFI BIOS, regardless of where the hub is plugged in.

P67A-GD65 gets sometimes gets stuck on boot status code 98 until i turn of main

Hi,
I have a issue which seems to be more recurring over time - it simply gets stuck on the first status code screen, it continues to do it until I power down system by mains for 10 secs.
To start with I'd say only once a month but now about once a week.
The usual boot status codes read "98 B4 98 94" and when the problem occurs it just gets stuck on the first 1.

I don't really know as I have the as shipped BIOS 1.9 on mine and only problem I have is my mouse doesn't work in BIOS and since mice never worked in BIOS before these new MB's it's nothing I'm concerned about. It seems every new BIOS fixes one thing and then another problem crops up for other people so I'm sticking with the no mouse and no other problems BIOS 1.9. The only BIOS's I understand that have had the fewest problems for most people have been 1.9 & 1.C. Mines goes through POST so fast I can't even read anything as it flashes by everything in just a few seconds and goes to loading Windows.
Unplugging the USB devices was just a suggestion for test purposes not a work around for the problem.

I had the same problem with a P67A-C45 board. The problem is your videocard .I build my system with a Nvidia gt9500 and it didn't work. After a bit of testing (and also a new mainboard) I found out that after changing the videocard with an old ati card it does work). I send an e-mail to msi support i got a new biosversion for my mainboard (1.68) and everything works fine now.
Videocard it is. Thanks a lot, I'd never guess.
With simple ATI card id loads well.
So, is it going to work with GTX460 if I get latest BIOS?

P67A-GD55 boot stops at POST 99 w/ 1-long+2short beep code.

Well subject line tells most of the story:
P67A-GD55 boot stops at POST 99 in lower right of display and with 1-long+2short beep code.
I've found a note somewhere on these forums that 99 code means Super IO initialization, though I'm not sure if this is the checkpoint before or after that process.
I've found generic information that suggests 1long+2short beep code indicates a video card failure.
I'm surprised that the manual for the MB doesn't list these codes, and that they weren't listed in the troubleshooting FAQ on the MSI site. So I still wonder if it may mean something else.
I've disconnected all the SATA connections, and removed all pci cards except for the video card. Guess I'll try disconnecting the front-panel usb connectors too in a moment, but I'm running out of ideas.
With a EVGA GT520 video card, I get these symptoms regardless of which pcie slot I put the card in.
With a Galaxy 8400GS the beep code is the same but no output is ever visible on the display. It seems possible that I just need an adapter to use the other connector on this card to see the output though.
With a EVGA 7800GT the symptoms are the same as with the EVGA GT520
If I try removing the memory sticks I get 3-long beeps followed by system shutting itself down.

Run of the mil keyboard. (has a logo with a circle containing a crescent containing a D). Suppose I could switch to a usb keyboard around here somewhere.
Disconnected the logitec usb mouse that I had connected to the back panel with no change in symptoms.
Toughpower-650 power supply (had been in use on a system that was running an athlon x64 and the GT7800GT graphics card.
2 sticks PNY DDR3 PC3-10666 4G ("compatible with 1333MHz") 1 stick in each blue slot.
No idea how to tell you the UFEI/BIOS version. The manual says its "CLiCK BiOS" but since I've never seen anything but 98,99 and _ displayed by the BIOS I really don't know.
Removing the case front panel USB connectors didn't change symptoms.
Resetting the bios by the button at the back panel connectors (near keyboard connector) didn't change anything. (although it did not cause "system will boot automatically" as a line in the manual might suggest.
Tried using the JBAT connector to clear the bios as well and likewise no change in symptoms.
There are no peripherals connected other than case power switch, power LED and HDD LED at this point. Somehow I don't expect much change from disconnecting LED's. Case switch seems to be behaving normally in that it causes the boot cycle to start, and if pressed while the "99" is sitting there in corner of screen it causes machine to shut down.
No SATA devices are connected to it since they won't really be useful untill can at least get to the BIOS. The sata cables that would go to those devices are still connected to the MB.

Status codes in Purchase Order Response screen

Hello,
I still relatively new to SRM and have a question on how the status codes on the purchase order response screen works.
Specifically what is the logic / selection criteria for "Variance in Purchase order Response"? My initial analysis is that this displays variance against the Original PO values rather than the current PO values if they have been updated to matched the POR.
Thanks
Gary

Thanks Ravi but I belive that we do not use SUS. Suppliers interface with SRM via a web portal.
Any suggestions where I can find detailed user / functional documentation on what each of the search parameters mean ?
Thanks again
Gary

Can't get my P67A-C43 to boot

Hi all,
I just put my new machine together and tried to boot it and the result was that it was powered for about a second and then it shut off, then powered up again for a second and then shut off... And it did so until I switched off the power manually. Sometimes during its power downs it beeped three times and it tried to power up again. While it had power, all four of the CPU power phase LEDs where lit. I also tried to clear the CMOS a couple of times in different ways, but it did not help.
Does anybody have any suggestions what to do or do have to send it back to the store?
My hardware is:
Intel Core i5-3570 3,4 GHz
MSI P67A-C43 (B3)
Chieftec 550W power supply (worked nicely in another setup)
Kingston 4x4GB DDR3 PC3-10600 (tried to remove so i just used one of them)
OCZ SSD 64GB sata3

Its a pity you didn't ask before buying your components, but that CPU is not supported on the P67 board.
http:// event.msi.com/mb/22nm/
You will have to get a Sandy Bridge CPU or a Ivy bridge supported motherboard. Sorry mate.
Nice
I usually read the fine print in the tech manuals. But this time i just assumed that the store where i bought the stuff would enlighten me. Wont happen again.
And thanks for the quick reply

Re: P67A-C43 - Beeps Code issue

I have a related issue with new Desktop I bought and put together. I have P67A-C43 motherboard with Intel i7 CPU. I have 600 Watts PSU from Diablotek (DA series). After assembling the whole desktop, when I power it up, I get to hear 5 beeps. Now I don't know if they are long or short ones since I can't compare but they seems like 5 short beeps to me. I read on few forums about what 5 beeps means and it revolves around the fact that my motherboard is complaining about something....but what? I cleared the CMOS (removed pwr cable and waited 1 minute, pushed the CMOS button, then re-connected the pwr cable) and tried to boot but in vain still. Also tried to reseat my single RAM stick -- no luck.
has someone ever seen this and what next steps I should try?
thx in advance

That is a triple channel kit of three sticks made for X58/socket 1366 systems and not for a 1155 system. Three sticks could stress the mem controler too much and result in it not running the sticks at the timings/speed they are meant for. Try just two of those and see if that helps. If so try relaxing timings and/or change to ddr3-1333 for trying three.

The crashes seem to be at random, but most often they occur while browsing the internet. For example I can be watching movies or tv shows through XBMC for hours and it runs perfect. Then I'll load up an internet browser and it will crash not long after.
Although the last crash I had was while watching a TV Show in XBMC. My computer had not been on very long, and it was only 10 minutes into the show. Although I was running jdownloader in the background. I also have AVG 2012 Free Edition running permanently.
Things I've tried that didn't work:
I've disabled the USB3.0 drives and the problem still occured. I thought they might have been the issue as they cause my computer to freeze on boot or in the BIOS (or boot EXTREMELY slowly) when it's switched on. Although the second I switch it off everything continues as normal. Would like to fix this issue too, but compared to the BSOD it's really a nothing issue.
I've updated my video card, USB 3.0 and Ethernet drivers.
I've upped the voltage on the RAM (not by much).
I've fiddled with some of the Turbo etc. settings for CPU.
I updated to the most recent BIOS.
I switched web browsers. Originally I had Chrome and each crash seemed to happen while using it, so I went to Firefox and it didn't change at all.
I switched my RAM around (Blue slots to black and vice-versa)
Currently trying:
I've removed 2 sticks of RAM. When/if it crashes again I'll swap in the other two sticks. Unfortunately it can run for ages before it crashes, so it's hard to tell whether an attempted fix has worked until it crashes and I know for certain that it hasn't.
Im pretty sure RAM is the most likely cause of the problem. But the PC was running fine up until the last 3 weeks or so. I got a BSOD a few weeks back which seemed to be a one off. Then a week or so later another one. Now it's happening daily.. sometimes 3 or 4 times. I would google the codes back when they happened and was lead toward different possibilities.. which is why I tried Chrome, Drivers and unplugging USB devices. Although obviously RAM seemed to be the most common possibility.

When did you start to see this crashing start?
Try running >>Memtest86<< on the RAM individually.
Try to uninstall jdownloader.
