P67A-G45 (B3) Bootup Issues

I'm stuck at a black screen with a 98 at the bottom-right of the screen and a repetition of beeps. This motherboard has been working perfectly for the past half year and the problems have just started to occur after I dusted out my computer last week. I ended up spending 4 days cleaning out my computer since I've had a busy week and I went at it slowly. I'm pretty sure everything is put back in correctly since there actually is an output on my screen but I have no clue why my computer's hanging on startup. Any inputs anyone?

Recommend to remove one or the other. Recipe for failure mixing kits often even from the same manufacturer and part numbers. Why it worked for half a year? Who knows. Best off if 16GB is required, to purchase a matched kit. If I was going to take a chance on another kit to try and match up, it would be the Corsair.

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) SLI issue.

My friend recently purchased a second GTX 460 SE to use in SLI. I installed it in his computer today and could not get SLI to function. Operating system is windows 7. I flashed the bios with the latest version as well as installed the latest drivers for the motherboard. Tried reseating the graphics cards and the SLI bridge multiple times. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Nvidia drivers multiple times, each time using driver sweeper after the uninstall. I have read that this board does support SLI if you have all the drivers updated. Anyone have any ideas?
Edit: Forgot to add that both the cards do work. I can switch the monitor between them and they work fine. The nvidia control pannel and device manager show 2 cards but not in SLI.

Problem: Within days of building computer in January the computer started to automatically reboot seconds after shutdown or entering sleep mode.
Attempted Fixes:
-Total re-install of Windows + BIOS
-Updated BIOS via LiveUpdate
-Rolled back to initial BIOS that came with MB
-Changed between registry option of "PowerdownAfterShutdown" between "0" and "1"
-Disabled Wake-Up Events in BIOS
-Changed to OS controlled Wake-Up events
-Changed "Restore after AC Power Loss" to off in BIOS
-Ordered a new PSU, replaced PSU
Regardless the fix, if I try to shutdown - the computer reboots within a few seconds. If I try to put it in sleep mode, it boots right back up. The only way to get the computer to shut off is by manually turning off the PSU.
I've seen that there have been frequent power-cycle issues with this particular motherboard in comments on newegg.com, just wondering if this issue has been encountered and if there is a fix available?

Is this with no case wire connections to any of the headers? i.e. if you start it by shorting the on/off pin headers with a screwdriver tip.
Yeah, as shown here.
http://www.computer-how-to-guide.com/motherboard-troubleshooting/motherboard-post-test-how-to/
Shorted on with flathead, boots up fine. After flipping off the PSU to turn it off and then flipping the PSU back on, the dang thing waits a few seconds and boots right back up. No short required. At this point I think a ghost might be living in my computer.

So my bad...there is an Intel Turbo Mode setting under the OC tab. It was enabled and I tried to disable it. No change...
So then I started turning off C1E and C-State stuff. That only made it worse. According to CPU-Z the CPU was getting full voltage all the time. At least with C1E/C-States enabled the voltages will back off with no load on the CPU.
The Win 8 Task Manager is very strange. It is showing the frequency bouncing around 3.3-4.2 while CPU-Z shows it hard locked at 4.2 I am not sure what the Task Manager is using for its calculations. But even the Task Manager hard locked at 4.2 with everything disabled.
I have the same board (P67A-G45) and I am having the same problem. When I set the multiplier in the BIOS, the CPU will bounce between 3.3GHz and whatever I set the multiplier to. I am running the V1.18 BIOS. With Windows 7, I could set the multiplier to whatever I wanted, enable C-States, and the CPU would throttle down to 16x without any issue or any interaction from me.
You can use ThrottleStop to check the multiplier more accurately then CPU-Z. Also in ThrottleStop, you can click "Set Multiplier" -> "Power Saver" -> "Turn On" and the CPU will run like a champ at 16x multiplier, so its definitely possible. This 16x get reported in CPU-Z and in the Windows Task Manager as well. Once you disable Power Saver, its back to 33x + multiplier land.
I hope a solution to this will be found, seems really silly to install a new OS and have CPU multiplier issues...

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) issues

Hey everyone I apologize in advance if this is long an rambling, but lack of sleep sucks .
Need a lil help before I get to drastic and decide to end my PC's life. Up till around 12:00 pm est yesterday my PC was working great, then my new Corsair H80i came in and I decided to do some very late spring cleaning(disassembled and dusted entire thing with canned air.), then cleaned off the old tg from the cpu re-seated and started installing the rest of the components. When it powered the problem occurred. It didn't come on an go off in a loop as I have read in other post, it came on an stayed on but the issue is I'm not seeing any indication of activity on the HDD (it is powered up) nor is there a video signal. It has the cpu power phase led's on the board and only one of those is coming on instead of all four. From reading the manual there wasn't much indication on what one light meant. Another quirk i noticed is that when it powered on my keyboard's led come on an quickly go back off an stay off till I turned the pc off an then back on. I did try the following:
Removed an powered on using one stick of mem, then tried with no mem installed. Still one cpu phase light both times.
Powered on with out HDD, still one light.
Removed all components including mobo from case and checked stand-off mounts..looks fine.
Performed a CMOS reset, still one light.
Pulled the vid card, again the same.
At this point I'm running out of patience. I know I probably haven't tried everything, but I'm at a loss for what to do next. I just wish there was better clarification on those cpu power phase led's in the manual. As i said before it only lights up one and that's it and there is nothing I can find that explains what that means, if it means anything and don't forget there is no vid signal so I have no clue to what if anything is going on during POST.

Quote from: Bernhard on 12-July-14, 19:27:02
Do you now have the MB out of the case? i.e. did you test it outside the case placing it on a non conducting surface?
Did you ensure all your power cables are properly plugged back in. i.e. the 24pin and also the CPU power plug.
You mounted a new cooler, did you ensure that you didn't put undue pressure on the CPU thereby bending some CPU socket pins?
Did you recheck the RAM slots for any lodged foreign matter?
Did you check your power cables feeding the HDD?
Can you test with another PSU?
Did you do CMOS clear with battery removed?
I did not try it out of the case. I will definitely give that a shot.
I double checked all my power cables
The cooler used thumb screws and I just hand tightened them. I will check again to see if anything happened to the pins, couldn't hurt.
I didn't notice anything in the RAM slots but again I should double check.
The power cable feeding to the HDD are seated snugly and I did pull an re-seat to make sure.
I sure wish i had a spare PSU. Guess i learned my lesson to have a back-up on hand just in case.
I did not clear the CMOS with the battery out, instead I used the button that was located on the back panel.
I appreciate the recommendations and will try out the ones that i can do. As far as the PSU I'll have to make some calls but that sounds like a good idea to try. It may be awhile till I can try anything, but as soon as I do and see any results I will let you know. Thank you for the feedback.

MSI p67A G45 memory issue

Link just for kicks:http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-G45--B3-.html
(ram for reference as well:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104239)
So initially when I purchased the board I failed to recognize that my ram's voltage was too high (1.65 V) and rated 1600 rather than the native 1333, 1.5 V
I still have an additional 8 GB of 1600 1.65 v Ram and I'd like to at least put 1 more stick in, which if I understand right, should still be achievable (as I understand the 4th stick is what puts the voltage level too high for the board to handle without entering bios and manually changing voltage/timing/etc of ram)
My current ram is set up in DIMM 1 and 3
xxxxxxx
xxxxxxx
If I were to add 1 more stick, would I then move the dual channel to 1 and 2, and the 3rd stick into DIMM 3?
xxxxxxx
Thanks for the help!

Ok, I just realized xmp was not enabled all this time, but before I go and try to install my second set of dual channel ram (I have 2 sets of 4gb x 2, only one 4gbx2 set in use right now) I want to confirm that everything is a-ok. I just enabled xmp and ran cpuid and it is showing my DRAM Frequency at 798.3 MHZ (which is obviously very close to 1600 when doubled). I'm not a computer whiz by any means, so my guess is that because the memory is dual channel that's why it appears with that frequency in cpu-id but clocked at 1600 in the bios?
Thanks for all your help - appreciate it!.
Everything is working fine now! Feels good to have that memory in the machine running, after sitting around 8 months. The issue must have been that xmp was disabled by default upon installation of the new ram, and this caused problems? Not really sure, in any case it is 100 % working with xmp enabled, and clocked @ 1600 mhz with 1.65 v.
Many thanks to all your help in solving this issue for me.
Hope you all have a great day!

P67A-G45 Windows 8 Overclock Speedstep Issues

I just upgraded my setup from Windows 7 to 8. I have my i5-2500K overclocked to 4.2GHz. In Win 7 I could see Speedstep/EIST working fine and it would throttle down to 1.6GHz when things were not busy.
Now with Win 8 it stays at 4.2 no matter what. The multiplier never seems to drop down. If I set it back to the normal 33 things are fine. If I start it at 33 and then use MSI Control Center to raise the multi it works fine. But if I boot it with the CPU already at 42 it just stays at max speed.
I am at all the latest BIOS and software versions.
Any ideas???

Overclocking issues with p67a-g45

I am unable to get a decent manual overclock with this board. The OC GENIE overclock is about the best stable OC I can get which is only 4.2ghz and this processor should reach much higher. Anyways here are my specs:
i7-2700k
2 x 4gb G Skill 1866 9-10-9-28
Gigabyte HD6850 OC
2 x Vertex 3 SSDs in raid 0
700 watt PSU
Thermaltake Frio CPU cooler
P67A-G45 Mobo
I've got the newest version of the Bios-5.3 which I've been unable to find much documentation or guides for. Any help would be appreciated!

Basing on experience, the latest bios are only best used when running Ivy Bridge cpu. With my i5 2500K before, I didn't have any issues overclocking it at 4.3ghz [Auto V] using official 1.J0 Bios until I upgraded to 4.xx bios. I couldn't overclock it at all. I went back to Bios 1.J0, problem solved. Since your using Sandy Bridge cpu, I suggest you do the same. I am using P67a-GD65 which is simply an older brother of your board.
Btw, my settings when I was running i5 2500K. Hope it helps, good luck!

P67A-G45 3T drive only formatting to 746Gig

P67A-G45 3T drive only formatting to 746Gig
Converted partition to GPT, still 746Gig. Saw other posts for firmware update to UEFI, but could not find that in my downloads for this motherboard. About a year ago I updated my BIOS, and Live 6 Utility says that my system is up to date. What am I missing? Thanks for your help.

Thanks, yes I read that. It was one of the few concise posts on the issue. Once you got to the Intel site to get the driver. Intel tells you"
"IMPORTANT:
Before installing this application or requesting technical support from Intel, first contact your system manufacturer. They typically provide software which is specifically configured for your system. "
MSI has been updating other drivers even those that are from Intel. Why is MSI not seeming to endorse the use of this driver?
Thanks for your help?

Unable to update P67A-G45

Hello all,
I have been running my P67A-G45 (B3) based system for over a year now with no issues. Every few months I check MSI's site for BIOS updates and have been flashing via the HP Flashdrive utility. Ive used this method several times with no errors.
Im currently running BIOS 1.12 dated 7-22-2011 and I want to update to version 1.I
When I run the flash (booting into DOS via flash drive) I get the following error:
"ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID"
Is there something im doing wrong? or is the MSI website linking to the wrong BIOS?

This is weird. If you mentioned that you update your BIOS every few months, your last BIOS version should be version 1.H dated 13-01-2012.
For the board, P67A-G45 (B3), there was never an official BIOS of 1.12 dated 7-22-2011, the only two BIOS versions that were available between April to October were version 1.B dated 14-04-2011, and version 1.D dated 04-10-2011.
Check this link for all P67-G45 (B3) BIOS and release dates > http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-G45--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
I suggest you double check your board details again.

P67A-G45 (B3) and Asus R9270-DC2OC-2GD5

I'm having essentially the same problem as the OP in this thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=175787.0.
In my case, however I have an Asus R9270-DC2OC-2GD5 that I'm trying to get to work in a P67A-G45 (B3).
My current AMI BIOS version is 1.9, which was published in March of 2011. I suspect, as in the other thread, that the BIOS is probably the issue.
The card should be compatible with my motherboard, right? If so, does anyone happen to know which version of the BIOS I should flash to. I would assume the latest official release (1.J) but thought I'd ask just in case.

So any GTX 6xx card will work with my current motherboard?
If that's the case, I'll probably go with a GTX 660, as it's extremely close to the AMD card in terms of price and performance.
I've never felt that my homebuilt machine has been absolutely 100% stable, and though I've always suspected that it may just be my current AMD Radeon HD6850 not playing well with the rest of my setup, I would nevertheless feel a little wary of flashing the BIOS.

What memory is 100% compatible with MSI P67A-G45?

I have some g.skill memory and there are issues using it with my MSI P67A-G45 as I cant adjust dram voltage. I know some of you have this board so what memory is working perfect and allows dram voltage and all others settings to be fully adjusted?

and do you really think 512mb and 1gb modules were tested on this P67 board?
Just posted a link to the modules list, nothing more. Made no recommendations & made no other assumptions. Selections & decisions are yours & yours alone.
Here is a suggestion however. Never a blanket guarantee, but I have yet to have the Corsair GT series fail to properly default or not work on any board I have tested. Whatever you purchase, make sure it properly defaults to the platforms IMC specs for DDR3 1333, 9 9 9 xx @ 1.50v's + or - 0.075v's. Plain stick, fancy heatspreaders doesn't matter. Compatible SPD profile programming does matter.

P67a-g45 two POST tests?

I have a p67a-g45 board
core i5 2500
16gb kingston ram (off the qvl)
geforce 9800
wd 500gb hdd
lg blu ray drive
Ok ive built many computers in the past, but this is the first one ive had that either runs two post or is experiencing an issue. It starts on boot and about 10 seconds later it gives two rapid beeps, and about 3 seconds later a normal POST beep. Its currently running an initialized ubuntu server, and it seems fine, but i have nnot had a chance to do any sort of setup or config yet. I just didnt know with the new click bios if this was normal, or is something causing it an error which it is recovering from?

its a single boot system, and the bios says theres 2 usb hubs and 1 mouse, but it still gives 2 beeps even if theres an additional usb cd/dvd drive plugged in as well. Ive gone with msi for every graphics card ive ever purchased, but this is my first mobo with them. Ive never had anything like this occur with the asus or gigabyte boards ive used.

MSI P67A-G45 (B3) boot/loop

Hi, just got all components for my pc and i installed everything. My problem is wheni press the power switch, everything starts fine and the fans spin up and the LED's on the board are fine but after 4-5sec it shuts itself off and tries the exact same process again. To troubleshoot i removed RAM, Video card, HD... just have CPU, cpu fan but still getting same issue..
Here is the list of the components i have..
Intel Core i5 2500K Quad Core Unlocked Processor LGA1155 3.3GHZ Sandy Bridge 6MB
MSI P67A-G45 (B3) P67 ATX LGA1155 DDR3 2PCI-E16 3PCI-E 2PCI SLI CrossFireX SATA3 USB3 Motherboard

Sapphire Radeon Xtreme HD 5830 800MHZ 1GB 4GHZ GDDR5 PCI-E DVI HDMI Mini DisplayPort Video Card
here is a video i found... its similar to my problem

Straight power loop? Can't even get to BIOS? if so could try resetting the CMOS, also try a different DIMM and/or GPU (even keyboard, had a couple post where the power loop ceased after unplugging the keyboard) and possibly best try a different higher powered PSU...if you can get into BIOS raising the vCore can help eliminate the loop problem, but still indicates something is wrong if it takes to much vCore for successful boot, with a 2500k should be able to boot and run stock at 1.19-1.21 for 3.3GHz

P67A-G45 B3 ultra slow POST on reboot, stuck at B4

So I've scanned the forums a bit and haven't found much in the way of help on this issue, so here goes. I have the MSI P67A-G45 B3 mobo with a Logitech M310 wireless mouse and a Logitech K120 keyboard plugged in. Whenever I reboot the machine from Windows or from the reset switch, completely randomly, the mobo takes FOREVER to POST. It will sit at a black screen with a "B4" in the lower right hand corner for anywhere between 1 and 10 full minutes, then switch to another number (99 maybe? can't remember), sit there for 1 to 3 minutes, then finally it will POST. After POST, it will come to the Loading Windows (Windows 7) screen, at which point it "freezes" (won't play the "floating Window pieces") for another 30 seconds, then finally it will play the animation and load into Windows.
I'm trying it right now and it has been sitting at B4 for 10 minutes so far.
I've flashed the BIOS to 1.D, the latest BIOS release, but the issue still persists.
In all my time building custom PC's, I have never run into an issue where a POST randomly takes so long to complete. What exactly is this B4 code and why is it taking so darn long to POST? Does it have something to do with UEFI? Something is seems very wrong to me if the mobo won't POST in the same amount of time every boot.
Here is my system configuration:
P67A-G45 B3
i7-2600
Corsair TX650M PSU
Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9
MSI Geforce GTX 550 Ti
Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, I definitely found the problem. I had forgotten that my Rosewill 74-in-1 card reader plugs into a USB header. I removed it and have rebooted the machine about 10 times now without one single issue.
So the card reader is the issue, but the person I am building this rig for needs that reader. How can I get this thing to work without the mobo hanging every time it is rebooted?
