HDD Freezing and dissapear with SSD + P67A-GD55

Hello people
I have just renove my computer and bought this:
CPU     QuadCore Intel Core i5 2500K, 3450 MHz (35 x 99)
Motherboard   MSI P67A-GD55 (MS-7681)
GraphicCard   NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti (1024 MB)
Memory G Skill F3-12800CL9-2GBXL   2 GB DDR3-1600 DDR3 SDRAM
Sound     Creative SB X-Fi XtremeMusic/Platinum Sound Card
SSD    OCZ-VERTEX2 ATA Device (SATA-II)
I have just add also my old CorsairHX520W powersupply plus one Western Digital Green of 2TB and one Velociraptor of 300GB
The thing is that when I finish of installing Windows 7 x64 and all the drivers, when I for example use intensely the Velociraptor it freezes and finally dissapear of my computer. And then after a lot of reboot i cant initiate Windows. I am desperate. I think is related with Intel RST drivers, SATA or ACHI.
If you need to know I have install all in ACHI mode, Vertex2 in SATA0 port, Velociraptor in SATA1, and the GreenCaviar2TB in SATA3.
Any suggestions or ideas to fix it? Thanks!

Since the OP hasn't done a followup post since April, we don't really know the outcome. No indication if he had a B2 board or a B3. It would be best if you open a fresh new thread. Please include all the systems components.
This can be further discussed in your own thread.

Hi, i have a bit of problem after trying to flash my bios to E7681IMS.1J0 (v1.19).
I used the USB flash tool (mode 1), and used a archive posted on the forum. Everything seemed fine, "update completed succesfully", i shut down computer and cleared CMOS, went into bios and loaded optimized defaults.
In Bios I could see the updated Bios version. So in Bios everything was working fine. But after i saved my settings and tried booting into windows i only get to "windows starting", then blue screen and computer restarts. I tried to do another Cmos reset but it didnt work, and the same thing happend a couple of more times. Right now im in a loop where the computer starts for a couple of seconds and then restarts almost immediatly, so i cant go into BIOS.
Any help is appreciated!

EDIT:
Memory: Corsair 8GB (2x4096MB) CL9 1600Mhz XMS3 CMX8GX3M2A1600C9
When the computer was new i had problem with the XMP profile. The computer would randomly crash in games or when browsing the web, but never any problems during startup. I had to change DRAM Frequency to 1333MHZ, i keept DRAM Voltage at 1.65v. With the CMOS reset, the DRAM Voltage is set to about 1.48v and 1333MHZ.
EDIT2:
Changing DRAM voltage did not make a difference. Should i try to make the bios recovery: "How can I recover the BIOS on my MSI motherboard"?
no the problem is not in BIOS, you no need bios recovery.

After disconnecting CD/DVD and HDD i am now able to enter BIOS.
which one exactly? find the reason what cause you not to enter in bios setup
about OS you may need OS reinstall since you are flashing from very old BIOS version to the latest one with ME7
in some case it may need OS reinstall
assume if everything else is set right: SATA Mode , and no stability issues

P67A-GD55 (B3) Wont Post

Hi guys, This has been my first build with msi board and has turned out to b a pain in the u kno what lol.
I wanted a Sandybridge upgrade so got all my new components delivered the other day. core i5 2500k, msi P67A-GD55 (B3) and 8gb (2x4gb) corsair vengeance 1600 ddr3. and after installing it all in my case, i switched the system on and it came on for a min or so then it turned of then back on only stayin on for a second then rebootin over n over till i unplug the system.
I have reset bios on many occasions even removed cmos battery for over 12 hours and no joy. Also i have removed memory and tried usin just the 1 module in every slot, used other module by itself too.
I have a OCZ 780watt PSU, GTX 480, X-FI Forte, G.Skill Falcon 64gb SSD and 2x 1tb Samsung f3 drives
Please help guys
Thanx

Well I have phoned up scan and they have issued me RMA number. I dont have access to additional RAM, Have since built system in and outside case with only cpu and 1 stick or ram still boot loopin so will send board bk to scan. Thanks guys for your responses

P67A-GD55 board won't load

So I changed the vdroop settings from 'auto' to 'low' and now my computer will not boot up. Not even to the bios so I could revert the change.
Specs: P67A-GD55 mobo, i7-2600k, GTX 660 TI, Rosewill Green Series RG630-S12 630W PSU, 6 gig RAM, 128 SSD, 1tb HHD.
Another comment, I've had my card at 3.4 and every time I tried to go above that it would do the same thing it's doing now. Also my CPU reads on the bios at 97c. Obviously I am doing something wrong and want to fix these things before I permanently ruin my rig. Thanks for any help!

Shut off or unplug PSU and then clear CMOS, that will revert to default any BIOS changes you made. It appears you are attempting OC of CPU so start a new topic in OC Modding section of forum for help & advice for that.

MSI P67A-GD55 B3 cannot detect Solid State Drive

Hello Everyone!
I bought and installed a MSI P67A-GD55 B3, very happy about it, all perfect, with the exception that it cannot detect the Solid State Drive (OCZ SATA II --> Vertex 2).
The standard Hard disk (SATA II as well) works fine ...
Anyone with the same problem? Any Idea?
Thanks!

Quote from: DonBoy on 19-April-11, 09:20:06
Did you try going to the bios and going to onboard chipset for sata and put in AHCI mode for sat type. This has to be done for the SSD Drive to respond. Hope this helps
Not true, a working SSD will be identified by the BIOS regardless of what mode the SATA controller is set to.

P67A-GD55 - Random BSODs with varying codes

Hey guys,
I'm sort of reaching the end of the line with my troubleshooting resources, so I'm hoping someone here can possibly provide me a little assistance. As the title indicates, I'm experiencing random BSODs on a newly built system. Below is what I have done to troubleshoot, as well as the specs.
MOBO - MSI P67A-GD55 (B3)
CPU - Intel Core i5 - PN BX80623I52500K

HD - Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS x2 (Raid 0)
Video - EVGA 01G-P3-1373-AR GeForce GTX 460
Updated all drivers to current revisions
Updated BIOS to latest revision
memtest86 - Over 24 hours of testing, all testing options, 10x passes - No errors
Windows Memory Tester - Over 24 hours of testing, full options - No errors
PSU Test - Checked every connection coming off of the PSU and all voltages are appropriate
Just for fun I've run the system with memory in varying slots and with varying sticks. No dice.
superpi - I've run this up to 32m on all cores on the CPU multiple times just to see if this causes any crashes despite the CPU being at stock config. - No errors
BSODs I have seen:
APC_INDEX_MISMATCH
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
dxgmms1.sys
And about 12 others that I didn't note at the time for some reason.
Other odd behavior:
After some BSODs, the system rediscovers all my USB devices that I have attached.
I've done research on the individual codes, but the solutions are like throwing darts at a dart board. I'm suspecting at this point that I either have a bad CPU or Mobo.
Also note that nothing is overclocked.
Any thoughts or ideas?
TYVM in advance.

8GB of RAM Installed, only 4GB detected/used by BIOS/Windows 7 (with P67A-GD55)

Let me start off by saying that I'm not very good with computers. At all. I know a little bit about them, but I am by no means an expert. That said, I have 8GB of RAM installed on my motherboard, spread out across 4 sticks. However, upon looking at my BIOS and my Windows Resource Monitor, it declares that I only have 4GB of RAM installed and usable. This is what I know so far:
- This issue has been prevalent as long as I've had my computer, and by extension my motherboard and my RAM sticks, so this issue isn't recent.
- I do have a 64bit version of Windows 7. I've checked and double-checked, and I'm 99.5% positive that it is.
- Speccy, a 3rd party program designed for checking system specs, declares that I do, in fact, have 8GB installed.
- I don't think that the RAM is bad because the BIOS still does pick up on different statistics of the RAM that are in the slots; it just fails to register the actual fact that they're there.
System Specs:
OS: Windows 7 64bit SP1
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz
RAM: Patriot PSD32G133K 4x2GB DDR3 @ 498MHz
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD55 P67 LGA 1155
HDD: 977GB SAMSUNG SAMSUNG HD103SJ ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drive: LG DVDRAM GH24NS50 ATA Device
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB VRAM
PSU: Cooler Master 750 Watt
BIOS Version: E7681IMS V1.5
Now this is where it gets interesting: My motherboard has 4 DIMM slots for the RAM, and the motherboard (I assume by default) works in dual-channel mode. This means that DIMM 1 and 3 work together and so do DIMM 2 and 4, which most of you probably understand. However, filling up all 4 slots only gives me half the RAM. So I remove the RAM from slots 2 and 4, and it results in all 4GB of RAM being detected. Then, I add in each other RAM stick one at a time, and it fails to register both. So I remove the RAM from slots 1 and 3, and keep the RAM from slots 2 and 4, and it ends up in all 4GB being registered.
I feel like the answer should be directly in front of me, but from endless Google searches and posts on other forums, I have ended up at a dead end. I'm completely clueless, so I could really use some help.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Also, if this is the wrong forum for this, feel free to move it wherever.

What is your current UEFI/BIOS Version?
The usual cause of such problems is (apart from bad memory slots or a defect of the processor's memory controller) a contact problem between the boards CPU Socket contact pins and the CPU's contact pads. Broke or bent pins are one explanation, in other instances a heatsink that is fastened to tight can also cause such issues.
I'll have the BIOS version up in a moment, but I'll see about diagnosing if one of those problems might just be what is my problem. Any tips on doing that?
Also, BIOS version is up in the OP now.

P67A-GD55 Memory Query

In February I am emabarking on a new PC/System build.
The Motherboard will be the MSI P67A-GD55, with the Intel I-5 2500K unlocked CPU.
PSU will be the Corsair HX650.
My question is, if I put in 2x2GB DDR3 Dual Channel Corsair Memory sticks with a voltage of 1.65V, will it be ok for this mother board?
Thanks in advance.

P67a-GD55 sound problem

I noticed today that the left audio channel was noticably quieter than the right. I unplugged the audio cable from the audio port and plugged it back in and it fixed it.
Does this sound like a hardware or software issue?
P67a-GD55
i5-2500k
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600
Asus AMD 6870
650W PSU
WD 6gb/s 500MB HDD
Windows 7 64bit

Hm.. I doubt that was the issue. I was listening to some music and the sound was fine one minute, then the left speaker almost sounded muted the next. I tested the speakers using the windows and realtek control panels (where it plays a tone on each channel), and the left speaker was much quieter.
But when I unplugged it and plugged it in, after getting the jack detection notification, the problem fixed itself.
I'm using the latest drivers on MSI's website.

P67a-gd55 boot loop

p67a-gd55
i5-2500k
4x4gb Corsair vangeance cl9 1600mhz
nvidia 9600gt
win 7 64bits
it work fine with 8gb at 1333mhz, but when i upgraded it to 16gb, it don't start anymore and loop at the boot. I tried to setup ram to 1333mhz instead of auto, put the voltage to 1.65v as suggested for p67 board. I also tried each module and it's works fine at 8gb but anything to do at 16gb.
There is a way to do it works with this kit.

Quote from: loomyz on 30-May-12, 07:17:01
I updated the Bios to v1.I and it changes anything. I mixed my 8gb kit and it works, so i supposed it will normally work at 16gb.
just because 8GB of mixed ram worked doesnt mean it will always work with mixed kit (you probably got lucky with the 8GB config and the chips would have been within a batch or 2 of each other)
the 16GB 2x(2x4GB) dual channel kits might have very different chips so you have this problem
DON'T EVER ASSUME THAT MIXED KITS WILL WORK BECAUSE IT DID BEFORE YOU MIGHT HAVE JUST GOT LUCKY <--- thats a rule i always follow
do you still have the boxes the 2 8GB kits came in as there is a lable on the back with a barcode number above the kit number CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 what are the 2 numbers off them eg. 106578452?
a drift on them of more then 1,000,000 then the chips will not be matching at all from my experiance with corsair dimms.

P67A-GD55 (B3) 3TB Support - What BIOS is Required?

Hi Guys,
Can someone from staff please confirm what version of the BIOS is required for 3TB support for the P67A-GD55 B3?
I currently have the latest stable BIOS installed from the link below:
http://uk.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#?div=BIOS
Version 1.D (Release Date: 2011-06-24)
Thanks,
Mark

2.2+TB support is a standard feature of the UEFI framework. So, basically, you do not need any special UEFI Version for that. Note that the 2.2TB barrier is first and foremost a limitation of the common MBR partition tables:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
The solution (GUID Partition Table (GPT) support) is a part of the (U)EFI framework.
If you want to work with a disk partition larger than 2.2TB, it needs to be a GPT partition.
In case you run into any problems to mark a 3TB GPT as bootable, you may want to consider an UEFI Update to the latest version (E7681IMS.1E0):
http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#/?div=Download
... as it includes a newer version of the Intel AHCI/RAID Firmware.

How to get higher cpu voltage during load when using "auto" with P67A-GD55?

I have a little question regarding cpu voltage: When i set vcore to "auto" i get a nice low voltage when idle but during load i only get 1.264 max and that is to low.
Is there a setting to increase the voltage during load and still have the cpu vcore set to auto?
Thanks

Quote from: Bernhard on 01-May-11, 15:25:22
OK, so you are able to set your CPU voltage manually. You need to consider that the auto voltages will compensate only up to a certain OC level, after which the user usually has to do manual adjustments. This auto compensation differs for each hardware combination. As HU16E suggested, try low VDroop and see if it helps. The other alternative is a BIOS flash, or manual voltage settings.
I tried low vdroop but it didn´t make any difference. But it´s ok, i can set the vcore manually but i was just investigating if i could get the best of both worlds with the powersavings auto vcore offers during idle
