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

Seagate 320Gb

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 Rev B3, When a new bios including Intel Raid Oprtion Rom 10.6.0.1091

P67A-GD55 Rev B3, When a new bios including Intel Raid Oprtion Rom 10.6.0.1091 ?
Hello,
I am the owner of a MSI motherboard P67A-GD55 (Rev B3).
The operating system Windows 7 Pro 64 bit is installed on a disk in AHCI OCZ Vertex 3120 Go SATA0 mounted on the port (version 3).
I get many bugs and blue screens.
This would be resolved with the latest driver Intel Rapid Storage Technology 10.6.0.1022.
It must been associated with a bios with the Intel RAID Option ROM 10.6.0.1091.
The latest bios for my motherboard is 1.E (or 1.14) version which includes Intel RAID Option ROM 10.5.0.1034.
Are there plans to release a new bios with the new ROM?
If not, is there a way to include the last Intel Option Rom in the bios 1.E?
Thank you in advance for your reply.
SM

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

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 - 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 ?

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.

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.
CPU:i5-2400 3.1GHz 6MB Cache LGA1155 95W

P67A-GD55 DDR3 1600MHz?

Hi there, I just bought an MSI P67A-GD55 mobo with 2500K and 2x2GB DDR3 OCZ Gold LowVoltage 1600MHz Cl8-8-8-24 but... I cant run it at 1600/Cl8...it wont even boot.
I tried all the settings and the memory runs just fine at 1866MHz and Cl9-9-9-24 1,66V. No errors at linx, prime and other stuff and the uefi's memory test shows the memory is OK. (uefi 1,7 flashed with a bootable pendrive).
The other problem is when I turn on my pc after a few hours of it being turned off (although I dont cut the power when its off) it wont boot or gives me bsod's like "cache manager..." or "memory management..." and the memory test fails. So i can boot with memory set @ 1333MHz Cl7, then after a reboot I can change the memory setting for 1600 Cl9 and then after another reboot (omg...) I can run it @ 1866MHz Cl9 without any errors again.
Am I doing something wrong? I dont get it...
Do I have to change the ddrVref setting? Its @ 0,8V.
Its a great mobo, my 2500K can run @ 4,8GHz rock solid stable with just 1,25V but...those ddr's are giving me a hard time.

Hi d593562, i use GD55 too, combined with PSD34G1333KH and ocing myram to 1600mhz with 1.63v seems like easy hehe passed IBT 15loop max level which was using max memory test for daily i use 2500k at 4.6ghz and for 4.8ghz i need 1.315v more than urs i guess u have great procie, bro.
For ur problem, i need u to find is this mobo supporting for ur OCZ ram?? its weird since it cannot run at stock but can run at overclocked condition..... try run at 1600mhz at leave timing at auto.

P67a-gd55 multplier not dropping on idle

OK guys. I have the MSI P67A-GD55 B3 mobo with the 1.11BIOS updated with an i7 2600k CPU
I have noticed 1 problem with the current BIOS update and would like someone at MSI to test and possibly do another update for this if needed.
I have the following setup
C1E support enabled
CPU ratio : 34
Base Frequency : 1000
Internal PLL Overvoltage : enable
EIST : enable
Internal Turbo boost : enable
Adjust DRAM Frequency : 1600
vDroop control : lower
Intel C-State : enable
If I do a factory restore and set this settings without touching the CPU ratio(multiplier), then the CPU multiplier will drop to x16 when idled.
If I go back into the BIOS and change only the multiplier up to 60, keep going up to cycle through and set it to 34 again, then CPU multiplier no longer drop down when idle inside Windows.
Ideally, I would like to over lock the CPU to x42 and still retain the abily tohave the multiplier drop when idle.
Can someone look into this and test if it happens to them as Welland/or how to fix it.

I think I know what you are talking about. You want to use the Intel Speed Stepping feature (have the CPU idle at a low Freq, but then turbo boost to a higher freq). For the MSI boards this is possible, but you can't do it via the CPU Multiplier. You have to use the CPU Ratio Limit setting. To help you, here is my bios settings. My P67A-GD55 board is using Bios 1.9.
The below settings allow my i2500K process or idle at 1.6Gig, but then turbo boost to 4.2Gig under heavy load. Please be sure you have a good CPU cooler before doing any O/C'ing.

Problem with my PC lock screen freezes on wake up from sleep mode (active control center)
When in sleep mode while using the control center on Windows, wake-up, freezes the lock screen.
So, turn off the power. Then after about 3 seconds long, starts up automatically. And also freezes the lock screen.
So, turn off the main power wait a while and it recovers.
If not running the utility control center, no problem.

I was using latest 1.14 (1.E0) BIOS version. I have Microsoft Sidewinder mouse and sometimes I had problems with my mouse. Yesterday I saw that you released new version of BIOS 1.15 which improves compatibility with gaming mouse. Without wasting time – I’ve download new 1.15 BIOS version – copy it to my booted Pen Drive. After restart system, I’ve booted form USB drive and uploaded new version of BIOS. Everything was fine till restart. System turned on for about 1,5 second, after that computer turned off. It happened every time. I’ve tried to clear CMOS by clicking on the „clear CMOS Button” on Back Panel. But it didn’t help. My computer turned on for 1,4 s and turned off. I’ve tried to “Clear CMOS Jumper” with JBAT1 jumper. But it also didn’t help. I was really pissed off. I have been uploaded BIOS for long time and I never had problems like this. I thought that I would have to return motherboard to my store. But I tried something else. I’ve put out one of my memory module (form DIMM4), suddenly my computer turned off. So I’ve enter into BIOS and set everything to default. Everything was fine. I’ve restart system, booted up. After that I’ve turned off and put in my memory module and …………. my system turned on for 1,5 s after that turned off. I was really pissed. I’ve tried with others memory slots. DIMM1, 2, 3 – and it worked OK – but with DIMM4 for was error. So I’ve download 1.E (1.14) BIOS version and upload it. Now everything is working fine (with 4 memory modules loaded) but I have still problems with my mouse. There is some problem with this 1.15 BIOS version with 4 modules loaded – or just with Corsair memory. Does anybody had the same problem?
P.S. Sorry for my English

P67A GD55 Windows fails to boot after flashing

Hi!
Tried to update my bios today using Live Update 5. Everything went according to plan until it was time to reboot after the succesful flashing. It started booting and everything was fine. The windows loading screen appears but then i get a message that something is wrong and it tries to repair it. Of course this fails and i've also tried to do a system repair using a back up.
I'm running windows 8 64-bit.
Got a Intel i7 2600k 3.4ghz cpu.
The old bios was from 2010 something.
I cannot get into the bios either when pressing f8 or del.
Any help is appreciated.

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55.html#/?div=BIOS
Try to re-flash to 1C, make sure to use the forum flash tool. You will need to install the tool on another computer and use that computer to prepare the flash drive.
Then try to boot from the flash drive.
1 min just in case I am going to attached special archive. Make sure that is your board.
Use option 1 of the forum flash tool and point it at the attached archive. This will flash you ME version as well if needed.
That is my board. Can i use that forum flash tool on a mac? I only have mac computers in my house except for my gaming rig.
Edit. I read in the thread you can only use it on Windows systems. Guess i will have to wait until tomorrow and borrow a Windows computer. Is there a chance the whole Motherboard is garbage now?

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.
Ok.

Updating bios failed p67a-gd55

hello there, I tried to flash my bios on my p67a-gd55 (B2) from bios version 1.19 to version 4.3
i downloaded 4.3 from the msi website, put the exe on my fat32 memory stick and ran it. then my pc rebooted, and now when it boots, it gets to the msi logo for the bios then it reboots again and just keeps happening. i cant enter the bios either. and if i take out the memory stick it says please insert memory stick and reboot.
i have also tried putting my old bios files on my memory stick and then it says bios updating, me files missing.
i have tried everything i know, cleared cmos, taken out bios battery for a few hours, taken all my hardware out that i don't need. but i cant fix it
i don't know what to do if anyone can help would be good
thanks

Hold the phone! I thought he gave the forum flash method using the special archive with the flash tool. Yes, the forum flasher is the safe way to do it, but the file he gives is not for the forum flash method.
This will not works, because he[topic starter] already started BIOS update using MSI's All in one archive file
So he stuck to endless MSI update process, MSI .exe updater is not good designed,
because it starts flashing and if there is a problem writing to ME region it will stuck with no chance to flash back, leave the board in half flashed bricked state.
If we assumed that he didn't started this update via MSI .exe updater,
and trying to flash via MSIHQ Tool instead, this will not works either, because B2 boards can't be flashed to ME9,
and it will print and error and nothing will hapends,
BUT it will not brick the board, like the MSI's all in one update method..
