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!

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

I suggest that you test with one piece of RAM at a time. It may be a RAM problem.
Do post the code of the BSOD here to let us identify what the exact problem may be.

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

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

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 - Two beeps after turning on the reboots loop

Hi
just installed a P67A-GD55 with a i5 2500k into my PC and everything was working fine, all drivers installed etc booted to Windows 7 no probs. Restarted and went into BIOS to check a few things then rebooted.
PC starts, two beeps, then reboots, continuously.
No BIOS LED flashing. So it seems two beeps means parity error. I've looked this up and mentions something about first 64k of mem check failed. To check RAM.
So went through each slot with one RAM and tried different RAM too to make sure, no difference. So booted up with no RAM in. No beeps but PC just starts then reboots in a loop.
Never got anything on the screen.
Checked all connections, removed all hard drives etc no difference, unplugged USB cables etc so in end just had graphics card, one stick of RAM, CPU and power plugged in. Still two beeps.
Reset CMOS still same, two beeps the reboot loop.
Tried all sticks of RAM in another motherboard and i5 760 and boots fine so its not the RAM.
Can't understand it as it worked fine at one point.
Is my motherboard faulty ?

Quote from: Mark on 01-June-11, 17:15:51
MSI is right. In the UK you need to get the product replaced through the retailer. You might need to phone Aria in this case.
I've filed an RMA request at the moment and told them what yourselves have said. Just need to wait now.
Didn't want to ring them just yet as there RMA number charges you 60p per minute.
I'll just have to wait and see what happens.

BIOS 4.1 - P67A-GD55

I recently upgraded my BIOS to version 4.1. Bad decision, if it ain't broke don't fix it right?
The previous BIOS versions have not given me overclocking issues. In 4.1, if I set the clock multiplier 45, the BIOS reports the O/C is in affect (4.5GHz). However CPU-Z shows my clock speed as 3.3GHz if I boot into Win 7 (64-bit). I'm in "standard mode" for the bios setup. Any suggestions? I don't get why my configuration settings are not being utilized. Is CPU-Z not reading things correctly?
I also tried O/C Genie and CPU-Z still reads 3.3GHz as the clock speed. Is the BIOS too new for these programs so they default to the stock clock speed as a reading?
Is there any way I could downgrade my BIOS? I tried to flash it and the older versions are not recognized.
Tried clearing the CMOS by pressing and holding the button on the back of the mobo with the PSU unplugged. Still same results.
Also, I have screen shots, but how do I attach them with the img tags?
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K (3.3 GHz)
Memory: 2xG.Skill F3 12800CL9-4GBRL (8GB Total)
MOBO: P67A-GD55
BIOS Version: 4.1
Graphics: MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr II
HDD: WDC WD3000GLFS-01F8UO
Power Suppy: Corsair AX850\
OS: Windows 7 64-bit

I tried to flash it and the older versions are not recognized.
It's actually a good thing it didn't flash. Once you update to the Ivy UEFI/BIOS and ME8, you are stuck with it unless a method is developed to be able to restore ME7, the old Sandy line of BIOS's, and both chips for boards with have dual.

Also, I have screen shots, but how do I attach them with the img tags?
Use a hosting service such as Photobucket.
My guess is the settings in CPU Features are all wrong and the root of the problem.

P67A GD55 Rev B - Upgrade Bios Question

To be honest, this post supposed to be a private message to Svet, but turned out a newbie like me who just joining the forum is not allowed to send PM...so apology if this questions are being asked so many times already:
Dear svet,
Really need your help in clarifying something, to make it short here are my questions:
First here are my PC Specifications:
MSI P67A-GD55 rev B
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB XMP Enabled
PSU Corsair X750W
Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2500k
OS Windows 7 x64
1. I have upgraded my GD55 rev B bios to the latest bios available here: msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
which foolishy I didn't read the warn that it will not work proeperly for Sandy Bridge
2. The bios update/flash was a success, now I have the ver II click bios, completely different with the first version. With this bios I managed to OC to my previous OC speed (4.2GHz in OC Setting by changing it into 42 multiplier and set the Vcore to 1.35)
3. The reason that I updated my bios in the first time was I often experience 0x50 error while gaming certain games, and I thought upgrading bios is one of the solutions for it (after trying to change my RAM, changing my GPU, and my PSU to no avail)
4. Then I stumble to this post of yours: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.0
with some fix in the 434 version states like this: "05.Fix system reset on 0x55 issue when use Sandy Bridge G440 CPU and install two 4G memory."
I am completely not sure whether this is related to my 0x50 BSOD or not, but really hoping that it is.
So my question is, should I upgrade/downgrade to your first post BIOS? (E7681IMS.434) or should I upgrade/downgrade to the latest beta 439 Bios (E7681IMSv439.rar) as the fix in 434 are included in 439?)
Thank you so much in advance for any help...
Regards,

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 09-April-13, 15:26:46
While waiting for Svet to respond, I will tell you that BSOD 050 is not enough DRAM V. being applied. It's rather a shame you didn't open a thread in the regular part of the forum, or the OC section of the forum asking for assistance 'before' flashing an Ivy support UEFI/BIOS.
That CPU is most likely capable of OC'ing to 42X easily on Auto CPU voltage while maintaining all the power saving features. VDroop set to Low or 100% depending on the available settings.
What is X.M.P. setting the DRAM V. at? If 1.50v's, to solve your BSOD, probably would have just required raising the DRAM V. to about 1.575v's or maybe even less manually. Rather than using X.M.P., the DRAM Frequency setting could have been changed manually to 1600.
Yes, all newer final or Beta versions will have previous release improvements incorporated.
Thank you for the reply...forget to delete the "dear Svet" part as it was copied from once private message intended
To be honest, I see myself rather as a silent reader than an active poster...so I would really try to avoid posting due to English isn't my first language....if that even make sense...
I think I have read quite a lot of 0x50 BSOD (CTD errors to be exact) in other forums to...have tried what people had posted as solutions for them...and still to no avail, hence my foolish and rushed attempt in flashing the bios...please do mind that the current bios is quite stable in my opinion, despite the same BSOD (CTD) in the certain game I have mentioned in my first post...
I have followed OC guide and benchmark in other forum which show each of its poster their OC settings and result (specifically i5 2500k series), and I have tried around 1 week to safely say that my unfortunate chip can only handly a stable 24/7 4.2GHz in that volt...i'm so lucky
and for XMP volt, I have no idea to be honest, I just enable it in the bios, will really look at it later on...
tl'dr thank you so much for the new insight of how to solve the 0x50! really appreciate it....If i can remember correctly, I have tried to use the default DRAM setting (without using XMP enabled) and still got the 0x50 CTD....but trying your suggestion is still a worth a try...will try this when I get home...thank you!

P67A-GD55 can't access bios.

Had problem earlier to access bios using an msi p67a gd43, today i changed in to a p67a gd55 and i have the same problem. When i start it counts "98","99","A3" and then i press ALT and it just locks saying "starting setup".
I'm able to boot in to windows 7 64bit without any problem.
My setup is:
CPU: i5 2500k
GFX: Palit Geforce GTX460 768mb
RAM: 2x UMAX DDR3 1600 oc 2gb
PSU: Zumax 630W
I've unplugged all HDD and DVD.
So far I've tried to Clear Cmos with button and also jumper/battery method. Bios was 1.8 stock but flashed it anyway to 1.8.
Switch slots for RAM.
Removed the moderboard from chassi so it had no metal contact.
Changed PSU.
Only things i havent been able to change is ram and gfx so i suppose one of them is causing this problem, as for the memory im not able to get any information from it in sisoft sandra, in cpu-z it cant identify the brand.
Anyone had this or similare problem, and what did you do?

Quote
I hearby would like to inform all people that cetus UMAX DDR3-1600 OC is NOT suitable with MSI's P67 chipset.
It would be beneficial if you could advise the forum what memory you are using now that does work. Makes it easier for others that are considering memory for their boards.

P67A-GD55, long reboot when overclocking

Hi, I have the P67A-GD55 with an i5 2500k and the problem arises when I overclock: changing the vcore or the multiplier (with or without turbo, it doesn't matter) makes the system unable to reboot (in windows or save and reboot in the bios). It sits there doing nothing and the monitor off and the only way to "continue" is to press the power button for a few seconds. It's very annoying. What causes that?
Rest of the system:
Intel i5 2500k @ 4.3 (1.22v) done in bios
MSI P67A-GD55 BIOS 1.E, 7/SP1 64 bit
Corsair AX750 +12v@62A, +5v@25A, +3.3v@25A
G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Powercolor Radeon HD 5850
SB Audigy 2ZS
Vertex 2 60Gb
WD 1Tb Blue
Seagate 320Gb
Samsung SH-B123L
Corsair 650D

Quote
I don't want and won't let it on auto; the voltage was 1.3 and the temps rose also which I don't want.
In that case, is 1.22v's enough to make the system 100% stable at 43X under 'all' load requirements? There is a tradeoff here. CPU V. on Auto will preserve some power saving features & throttling. Setting manual will lock & fix the CPU V. & might not supply enough in a high CPU demand spike if not set high enough. What unsatisfactory CPU temp are we talking about at 1.3v's? Using the same CPU regardless of the mainboard it is on, will most likely net the same results. To run at a given speed, a CPU needs '?' amount of voltage.

P67A-GD55, RipJaws & Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B - compatible?

Hi all,
Am thinking of upgrading my system with the following components:
P67A-GD55 motherboard
G.Skill RipJaws memory (2 x 4GB)
Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B cooler
Does anyone know for sure if these are all compatible - that is, the memory will fit with the cooler attached? Is it OK if the cooler covers 2 memory slots, and I only use the outer slots? (Obviously I'd rather avoid this but it would be acceptable)
Thanks in advance,
P.

Suggest you consider the Zalman that HU16E is using and then rather get some low profile mem modules like the Crucial Ballistix instead or Corsair XMS3
You did not say what exact RipJaws these are.
