P67A-GD65 (b3) Answers maybe?

I'd like to give a little information to those having problems with this board :o
My first response to the bored was UH OH not another bad one.. But, luckily after a few tweaks I got it going nice and stable
My mobo came with the 1.8 bios when it was sent to me. I messed up and didn't even bother reading the installation guide.
I had a brand new system except for my hard drive. Powercolor 6950 2gb *flashed to 6970*, P67A-GD65 (b3), Corsair 750w, Asus blu-ray/dvd, ThermalTake Frio, G.Skill p67 ram 1600mhz 8-8-8-24 1.5v. I messed up my first boot by having the 2 dimms in the black slots because my heat sink fan was in the the way. (NOTE: Only use 1 dimm in the BLUE slot on first initial boot). I kept getting a black screen after the bios screen with a white underscore blinking! WOULD NOT POST! I would recommend completely cleaning your HD out completely before initial boot! I also didn't load optimized settings on initial boot... After some time of reading online instructions I got my PC running, but not stable. I would shut down my computer and have a constant power cycle(kept turning itself on), or get a BSOD with voltage code errors. JPWR2 was installed with the correct power pin connector; all LED lights lit up...(DIDN"T MAKE ANY SENSE!). So I cleared the CMOS with the handy button and then loaded optimized defaults. I then updated the bios using the USB flash tool to 1.91b. On initial boot I loaded optimized settings with just 1 Dimm in the blue slot(HAD TO TAKE OFF MY FAN TEMPORARILY), formatted my HD, and followed with a clean install of Windows 7 64bit. Everything seemed fine! I now have my system overclocked to 4.5GHZ only changing the multiplier to x45. After windows loaded I installed my 2nd memory stick now both allocated in the blue dimm slots and manually set the timings to 1600mhz 1-8-8-8-24. I have to say I'm suprised so many people are having problems. Another thing I did my HD is a 3GBS blue cavier WD 640gb 7200rpm 32mb cache... At first boot even after the update I was getting that my HDD was not being detected before the bios screen popped up but I was still able to boot windows... It was installed in the 3gbs sata slot 3 with 3gbs sata chord.. All I did was change it to the white 6gbs slot using the white 6gbs sata chord and it finally detected it before initial bios loading. Everything is stable.. I ran prime95 extreme memory and cpu for 15 hours and the hottest it got was 61c. I hope this helps some of you guys... Forgive my poor english I'm asian and have only learned english for 3 years.
ALSO! almost forgot.. When changing your DRAM voltage *(most memory says 1.5v)* You need to set it high enough so that it gets the stated voltage seen in your bios.. for instance I use 1.565 and my voltage displayed on my mobo is 1.505

It is highly recommended for intitial startup, only the primary blue dimm slot be populated. No offense to anyone, but these Gen2 CPU's run very cool. Are these gargantuan CPU coolers really necessary? I got to 5111 on the stock cooler, ambient 20C, with out any overheat problems. Did install a Zalman 9900 later, but makes it able to maintain using the recommended blue dimm slots.
Added: If you move the RAM, or add RAM, it will be sensed by the BIOS as a system change, & custom settings may have to be redone again.
Well, it makes me feel better lol. I'm kinda confused by what initial startup means though. Does that mean the very first time I put everything together and fire the computer up? Succeeding boot ups will then work fine when only using the black dimm slots?

P67a-GD65 System Freezes and Recovers During 3D gaming and Online Video

The Problem:
Temporary system freeze with audio stutter. The system recovers 30sec - 2min later.
Key presses made during freeze will execute after system recovers (ctrl+alt+delete for example)
Usually, but not always, I see an error message in the system tray and I do NOT experience bsod.
This happens seemingly at random from 3D accelerated applications, and web browsing. Games such as BF3 (moderate), WoW (seldom), Planetside 2 (frequently), Minecraft (seldom), Hawken (seldom), etc.
Also happens frequently in both Internet Explorer 9/10, Firefox, Chrome, and Steam store browser. Typically when watching steaming video (youtube, HULU, flow player, etc)
but Pandora audio streaming also seems to create the conditions where this happens.
Error Message:
"Display driver stopped responding and has recovered
Display driver NVIDIA Windows Kernal Mode Driver 314.07 stopped
responding and has successfully recovered"
The problem also shows up in the Windows reliability history with the following data:

All of my hardware with the exception of the new 670 was purchased and configured back in February of 2011. This problem first occured in BF3 multiplayer sometime in early 2012,
and has gradually been happening more frequently. Web searches found many individuals with this error, but the solutions are all over the map, and I've tried just about everything that I've found.
I think I've narrowed the problem down to the motherboard, but I just can't find a clear answer or solution. Maybe it's the raid array? I really thought replacing the GPU would solve my trouble here
and I was...NOT happy when it happened again with the new 670 that I scored for $250 after amazon gift cards. I typically get kicked/disconnected during online game play when this happens and I'm ready to be done with it. I was hoping to fix the issue without needing to buy new hardware, but I don't see any other way at this point.
My patience runs thin. Please help!

Might want to ask for the special archive to return the mainboard to pre-Ivy support UEFI/BIOS and then test again with everything set to auto/stock/default.
Already tested that before updating to 4.3. I started having the problem on 1.8, then 1.J0, then 4.3.
Quote from: Bernhard on 11-March-13, 15:30:29
Just a shot in the dark.
The length of time that your CPU has been running at the OC could have accelerated the eventual degradation.
Have you tested your CPU in another board or do you have access to a "known good" CPU to test in your system ?
I do not have another 1155 lga board to test the cpu in unfortunately, hence the CPU stress testing. Based upon previous experiences with multiple overclocked systems that I've run at much more aggressive overclocks, I don't believe I'm seeing a processor failure, though I can't rule out the possibility.
Quote from: xmad on 11-March-13, 23:26:01
Quite a few components can cause this.
Do you have a friend that could lend you a psu to test? A weak of failing PSU can often be the cause of something like this?
No I don't have another PSU to test. I did use a digital multimeter to test the 12v rail, as well as the motherboard contacts for testing voltage to the cpu and system They were all right in line with what I'm seeing reported in the bios. I did not test these contacts while the system was under load however, so I may need to do it again.

HELP! My 2011 MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) build suddenly refuses to boot

Hello, I am new to this forum because I hadn't had any troubles yet.
I built my system in July/August 2011. Here's what it has:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge CPU
16GB Corsair Vengeance 240-pin DDR3 1600
650w Corsair Enthusiast PSU
MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1GD5/OC GeForce Graphics Card
1x 2TB Hitachi 7K3000 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s (With Windows 7 64-bit installed)
2x 3TB Seagate 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s (For storage)
I have used this computer for graphics and video editing...it has served me faithfully. Yesterday evening while editing a Word document, I got "do you want to save your changes before exiting?" and of course I said yes. Then to my surprise my computer proceeded to shut down and reboot. At first I thought maybe I missed a Windows Update message telling me it would reboot in xxx minutes so I was not alarmed. But then as I watched it reboot, it gave me the POST message that there was no disc drive recognized. I thought that was weird since I never noticed it before. But then after the BIOS screen with the MSI graphics thing I was faced with a blank screen except for a flashing cursor two inches from the top of the screen. When I realized that this wasn't going to leave, I got a bit worried so I did a reset through my tower's button and same thing happened...I unplugged everything and let it sit for a few minutes... restarted 10 minutes later....same thing. Did it again and then went into my BIOS to look around. It showed no HDD's connected and I had 3 hooked up. I was concerned my HDD went bad so I connected it to another pc and accessed it with no trouble as another storage...I was happy my files are all there. So then I reconnected to my original build and got the same POST message, but this time the drives were visible in BIOS....but still no boot.
I have another blank SATA HDD so I removed all my HDD's and connected it by itself along with my SATA DVD drive and I tried to do a clean Win7 install on it. But at the point in the install process where it asks WHERE you want to install Windows, no drives showed up. So that door was closed. I tried the same thing again after swapping SATA port locations, thinking 1 was defective, but I got the same treatment from all of them...nothing recognized during the install process, although the drives are showing up in BIOS....
I think I know why the POST message is saying 'no drives detected,' though...I read it is saying that based on the SATA ports being used...I have 8 SATA's on my MOBO...4 6gb/s; 4 3gb/s. 7-8 are 6gb/s and ONLY when I have a HDD plugged into one of them does it show on the POST screen...which I still think is weird, and seems to have just started happening last night with the rest of the problems...but I could live with that since I could disable the message in BIOS I think.
But I have tried to clear the CMOS...all three ways...jumper, button, battery. I reset BIOS thru BIOS.... Nothing changes. BTW, in BIOS I ran a RAM memory check and it passed. Besides, I am not hearing any weird beeps...related to that....
I don't know why this would happen after working perfectly for 2 years... And why would it politely shut down in the beginning of the process anyways? I mean...I appreciated being asked to save my changes...but I don't know what else to do...PLEASE OFFER SUGGESTIONS...any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance...I hope someone can help me! I am still covered by warranty...but I want to do this right.
Thanks!
Marie
EDIT: BTW, I have also tried unplugging everything from the pc except for the DVI and power plug in case that was interferring....

On a slightly different topic...would it work (I have never done this!) to take my OS HDD and boot it on another PC? I am thinking this would not work because of system files and etc., but I have always wondered this and now would be the best time for me to know
It mostly works if the components used aren't too special. As you have no RAID setup it should work. However you will need to reactivate Windows once it made it. Of course you will also need all drivers for the new machine. Be aware that you might not be able to connect to the internet before you installed the proper driver for the ethernet adapter.

P67A-GD65 rebooting loop

I have the constant rebooting problem, its the same problem (mine turned on for about 7 secs before shutting down) as many others. It worked perfectly before I took the motherboard out to get the serial number (as shown thats supposedly the only place to find it). I put it back in, turned it on, then noticed a serial number on the box. And when i booted it, it shut down again. I took everything out, made sure ALL the connections were not loose, turned it on again. I smelled something funny this time.. I turned it on once more, lo and behold there was a little bit of smoke.
If this helps, I used a magnetic screwdriver when screwing the screws in, and I think i might have touched the gold part on the screw holes and im not sure if that has something to do with it or not, but i think it might. I had to RMA it to newegg, still have yet to pack it up.. also about 4-5 other people giving reviews to that same motherboard on newegg showed the same problem (minus the smoke). Also the smoke I saw was around the south bridge area if this helps, which was ironically right at the end or near the end of my graphics card.
My specs:
Case: HAF 932 blue
PSU: TX650
mobo: P67A-GD65
Ram: G.Skill RipJaws X 4 GB (2 +2)
graphics: GTX 460 hawk

Smoke... Never a good sign!
Is there any visible damage to the component that you might have spotted during the time it smoked?
How many times did you attempt to restart the PC after the reboot?
Did you have any BIOS details that appeared on the screen during the 7 sec?
Try to remove the MB carefully and check to see if you haven't maybe lost a screw underneath the MB whilst putting it back!
Quote from: Snake_X
no trust me, I had this thing working up until i did this, and then I didn't even take any of the cables out of their m-connectors and I even took a some pics of how it was arranged before i did it and referenced them when I re-did it.

That's what someone told me what might have happened during the time when my 8 pin was unplugged, it might have overloaded a component?
This is contradictory!
Did you or did you not remove any wires?

For Those Experiencing the Infinite Boot Loop on P67A-GD65

My story in a nutshell - bought the original (non B3) P67A-GD65 from Newegg on the first day it was available along with 8 GB (2X4 GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 ram and Intel i5 2500k processor. Received the items, hooked them up on a test bench (rubber mb supports so no grounding issues) along with a Corsair VX-550 P/S (both 24 pin and 8 pin leads plugged in), GTX-460 video card (2 PCI-E 6 pin connectors plugged in), the default Intel i5 heatsink and a known good USB KB and mouse. Promptly experienced the infinite loop boot issue others have described - fans on h/s and video card spin up, 1st APS LED lights for a fraction of a second then all 6 light up for 3 to 4 seconds then APS LEDs go out and fans on h/s and video card spin down. No beeps from speaker and no video signal to monitor. After everything has stopped spinning (about 3 to 4 seconds), the power comes back on and the cycle repeats exactly the same way every time until I turn off the power supply. Here is what I tried:
1. Used only 1 stick of ram (tried in all 4 slots)
2. Pulled 1 stick of DDR3-1600 ram from my working X58 system (again tried in all 4 slots)
3. Different power supply (OCZ 520-ADJ)
4. Known good PCI video card instead of GTX-460 (in case there was some problem with power draw)
Under each of these changes, the same infinite boot loop occurred. Called tech support, they walked me through each step I had already tried and finally suggested I RMA both the MB and the CPU to Newegg. Did so and the replacements worked fine from the start.
Then came the B2 stepping issue. Notified both Newegg and MSI that I had one of the B2 boards. Newegg notified me they had the new B3 boards in stock. Arranged for cross shipment where they would ship me the new board and then I would return the old one. Received the new one last Friday. Put it on the same test bench as above and the same infinite boot loop is now happening on the new B3 stepping board. Just to test, put the cpu, ram and GTX-460 video card back into the B2 stepping board and everything works perfectly.
Another test, since some people reported the infinite loop problem when they had failed to plug in the 8 Pin power lead to the mb, I unplugged the 8 pin connector on the working B2 stepping board. The infinite loop problem is entirely different in this case. When you press the power switch, the fans start to spin and the first LED lights for less than a second. Then the LED goes off and the fans start to spin down. After everything has stopped, it repeats until the power supply is turned off.
This is my first MSI motherboard after 15 years of Abit and Asus with the occasional Gigabyte or EVGA thrown in and I am not happy with the QC I have experienced with this board!
So to summarize, 2 of the 3 P67A-GD65 boards I received from Newegg have had this infinite boot loop problem. Apparently, I have to RMA again. Am I lucky or what???!!!

If it was the chipset causing this problem, it seems it would be a widespread complaint among all vendors. I have looked at the Asus and Gigabyte boards and do not see this particular problem described and certainly not multiple users reporting the same problem. I am giving up on this and will arrange an RMA and will see if I can talk Newegg into an Asus board for only the price difference. MSI has a very good reputation in the industry, but it has been a disaster for me!!!
Thanks for your replies,
Monte
Frankly, I can understand your frustrations on the problem but it is not fair to judge a brand by looking at the number of complains in a forum. I can guarantee you, there are more RMAs out there from all other manufacturers even before an user even knows that a Forum ever exist for them to post for enquiry and most of them aren't an IT engineer or hardware engineer by self.
If you want to compare, I have also been in this industry for more than 15 years and I have many DOA boards from other manufacturers as well and DOAs after RMAs are common to me. When you handle thousands of PCs, laptops and mainframes, such things are really common.
Back to your problem. Maybe I didn't make it clear on how I want to describe on my previous post for your issue in words. I am referring to having a chance to let the system boot into BIOS or past BIOS after multiple times of rebooting, then you can try to flash the BIOS. This is also not uncommon as I have encountered systems which are problematic but are able to boot into Windows after 15 to 20 times of infinite reboots by itself.
How about processor? Tested it in another system yet? Or is this another unless suggestion to you?

P67A-GD65/P67A-GD55/P67A-GD53 Vdroop fix

Hi guys,
HQ just released this bios for the P67A-GD65/P67A-GD55/P67A-GD53 which should fix the Vdroop issue.
If someone on the forum wants to try, you can share this bios.

Quote from: Svet on 09-October-12, 18:51:44
It's universal method and will perform full BIOS chip update[include required ME update] with regard less of current installed BIOS version
No it will flash only one, active one.
Thank You Svet. It`s nice to have new version of MSI HQ Forum USB flasher with ME update function Great job!
Bit offtop, sorry but I have to ask. Is it technically possible that flasher eventually get option to flash both bios chips on motherboards like P67-GD65?
Or maybe it is good thing that it can flash only one chip for now(?) I do not understand consequences. Pro and cons of having me7 and me8 on pri/sec bios chips?
I do not want to make mistake (using MSI flash procedure) but wanna try new VDroop/Offset feature of Click Bios II. Maybe it will cure my over 1.4V auto voltage on 4,5GHz
PS: Sorry, my English seams to be horrible. I hope You can read my mind, hehe...

P67A-GD65 (B3 )boot problems

I've built my box around mid-December (2011) and ever since, I've experienced the same issue as well.
The very first time it happened, I ran the repair tool, but just like others said, it could not repair it. I DID NOT have have MSI control center installed for the first few weeks and yet the random reboots at the windows logo still happened, so I'm certain it is NOT an MSI control center issue (at least in general).
Yes, it is very hard to pinpoint, just like others said. Most of the time it boots just fine. On those rare occasions (maybe once every 20-40 boots) I just let it reboot automatically and then it's all fine.
I'm NOT an overclocker at all, so I have everything set as it is out of the box and aside from this random, occasional reboot everything works fine.
I don't remember which bios version originally I had, either 1.C/D/E, but I upgraded to 1.G and it still does it, and did before the bios upgrade. Currently 1.E is the latest which I don't have.
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel i7-2600K Sandy B
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) F3-10666CL9Q-16GBRL
ADATA S510 Series AS510S3-120GM-C SSD
Nvidia GeForce GTX 275
Win 7 x64 Ultimate

Ok, so I just want to recap on this issue. It seems my machine is stable now.
I have reinstalled windows about 4-5 times this week, trying to test what the problem might be. Wasn't sure if it's a driver, the service pack (1) or maybe the order of installation messed something up. So I wanted to start clean the various installations/testing. None helped.
So I noticed there was a new BIOS update available with v 1.I (dated 01/12/2012). As a side note, I don't understand why they post version numbers with letters (A, B, C, D, etc) but in the BIOS or in other programs, such as CPU-Z, they report the version number with numbers. Anyhow.
So I installed this BIOS. That didn't solve it either. But while I was running the OS, I noticed my BIOS LED is flashing, so my primary BIOS failed. It still booted and ran fine. I just didn't understand why did the primary BIOS failed since the BIOS update tool (downloaded from this forum, reported the flash was successful.)
I cleared the CMOS, reset the BIOS to default values, installed windows 7 ultimate x64 using AHCI and IDE mode. None made any difference. Still experienced random reboots at the Starting Windows screen (but it rebooted only once - consequent reboots were fine).
So I used the dual BIOS to re-flash the primary with the secondary. The secondary had BIOS v 1.11 (dated 04/20/2011). So now I'm running this version. Lo and behold (and also knock on wood) I don't have any random reboots so far. That's about 5 days now.
So I want to close this thread by saying, that it seems there was some issue with the new BIOS releases (I only used 1.G and 1.I) but reverting to the original one (which is in the secondary BIOS - 1.11) makes my machine ran stable without random reboots - so far.
I think this is how I'm going to leave it. This works. As they say, if it ain't broken don't fix it, so this is the BIOS version I'll stick with.
Long live the King!

P67a-GD65/BIOS 1.7 Windows is good loading only after reboot

MSI P67A-GD65 Not Posting, unsure of beep code meaning

Just swapped out my old K9A platinum for a P67A-GD65 and I can't seem to get it to post. I'm getting a beep code of five beeps (long ones maybe? google indicates "process error") but I'm not sure what that means. Pulled the video card, tried my two sticks of ram in slot 1 one at a time, disconnected every device but still getting the same code. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V power supply
MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 graphics card

It seems I'm not the only one having weird issues with this board. I have the exact same board, v1.8 BIOS and Gskill F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD memory.
If I enable the XMP profile for this memory, this system will not post. It does not matter if I raise the DRAM voltage and I/O (memory controller) voltage to their acceptable limits, it does not matter if I manually enter in the timings of the memory specified on the box. XMP = no post.
So after disabling XMP I kept the memory at 1600mhz, which worked fine. I decided to try 1866mhz and a little more voltage. This seemed to work fine...for awhile. This morning my system would not post. I had to clear the CMOS (not use the jumper but literally remove the battery). Ever since then my system will BSOD after a few minutes on startup unless I manually enter in my memory timings (I tried two sticks from different vendors).
I know I don't have bad memory, and the fact is that this board will not post with vendor specified settings.
All I can suggest is to pull the CMOS battery and try one stick of memory.

P67A-GD65 mainboard incompatibility with Steel series XAI gaming mouse

Hallo,
As mentioned officially on SteelSeries web site http://faq.steelseries.com/questions/166/My+computer+gets+stuck+at+BIOS+stage+during+the+boot+for+a+few+minutes+when+the+Xai+is+connected. there's a problem with p67A-GD65 mainboard ( i don't know if other MSI P67A MB series have the same problem) and Steel-series XAI mouse about the pc gets stuck at BIOS stage during the boot for a few minutes when the Xai is connected. and personally i add that it's impossible in my p67a-gd65 (B3) to use this mouse for navigate in UEFI bios because it's moves only laterally.
I HOPE THAT MSI RELEASE VERY SOON A BIOS UPDATE ( lasted version 1.B have again this issue) FOR P67A-GD65 (B3) ( maybe other P67 models?) MAINBOARD THAT RESOLVE THIS VERY FASTIDIOUS PROBLEM.
Thanks.

Hello,
next time you start a topic, please skip the CAPS. CAPS are considered SCREAMING and that is rather impolite. In addition to that, this is a user-to-user forum and not MSI Technical Support. We do not make BIOS/UEFI Updates here and if you want to report anything that needs fixing, report it to Technical Support directly: http://support.msi.com/
That said, please note that the latest UEFI/BIOS release is not E7681IMS.1B0 [=v1.11] but actually E7681IMS.1C9 [=v1.12b9]. Various mouse related fixes have already been implemented. So, I suppose the best thing to do is probably to find out whether or not your problem has already been fixed:
E7681IMS.1B0 ---> E7681IMS.1C5
- Updating the latest USB module version 4.6.3_USB_08.10.10.
- Fix the Achiva 27'' LCD QH270-IPSBS compatibility issue.
- Fix AEXEA DDR3-1600MHz memory boot fail.
- Don't clear password when load defaults in BIOS Setup.
- Fix mouse click will hang 0Dh in some page when entering setup with user password.
- Fix the GT ratio show error issue when OC genie enable;
- Fix the Package C State limit item No Limit option value.
- When unplug any USB mouse and plug again then system will hang in UEFI bios
- When using the USB mouse and move and play around for 1 minute then the mouse cursor disappear.
- You will see 2 cursor under overclocking page using the below mouse:
---> Steelseries KINZU
---> Razer Copperhead RZ01-050100
---> Razer Copperhead RZ01-050200
---> RAZER DeathAdder RZ01-0015, Infrared Gaming Mouse
---> ROCCAT KONE ROC-11-200
- Fix USB Keyboard can't use under dos.
- Fine tune 2133Mhz memory stabilization.
- Fix the issue that using AEXEA DDR3-1600MHz 4GB 1.65V will have normal boot up but when running Memtest Deluxe 3.8, display hangs at "running fast write tests¡".
- Fix Post Screen show CPU speed 100x63=6300 MHz when "Adjust CPU Ratio in OS" is Enable.
If I was you, I would give E7681IMS.1C5 a try first and see what it does to your problem: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=144655.msg1105581#msg1105581

P67A-GD65 B3 or B2?

hey guys. would really appreciate some help on a little issue I have. I'm trying to get an XFX R9 280 to post on my P67A-GD65 without any luck so far, but I haven't given up yet. i kept reading online that the number one thing to do was update your bios. i took the step of updating via Live Update (i know, i know) a few months ago so when i clicked on it today it just said I had the newest version - 1.JO. however, when i went on to the MSI site, I saw that the newest version was 4.3. i considered flashing up to 4.3 but then read a bunch of horror stories about who bricked their P67A's because they had the wrong version, and that scared the hell outta me.
when I first got this motherboard, I remember I sent it back to MSI who corrected something (intel-related? i can't remember, it was three years ago!) on it and sent it back to me. when i look at the box, I see that it has as an "msi b3 stepping ready" sticker on it. so this means i'm B3, right? and they're good to flash update to 4.3?
thanks for the help! i just don't wanna brick the motherboard, that's all! and maybe it might even fix my GPU problem. for what it's worth, my GTX-460 works fine when plugged into the same PCI-E slot.
cheers!

Follow the below:
1.) >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB and follow the directions. MEMTEST is included with the forum flash tool and it is recommended to run this prior to any flash.
2.) Once the flash is complete, you must download and install the latest ME drivers:
http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me81_win78_xp.zip
oh, just one thing i need to, flobelix. uh, when installing the forum flash tool, do i select Mode 1 (point to MSI Bios) or Mode 2 (Point Directly to MSI Bios)? they both seem like the same thing. i assume Mode 2 because I saved your archive to my desktop?
thankyou!

P67A-GD65 Hard Lockups

I recently built a Sandy Bridge system and I am having random sudden hard locks. I will be browsing the net or playing a game and then...everything freezes up suddenly and I cannot do anything, like I'm stuck in a screen shot. I am forced to manually hit the restart button. Sometimes it will happen twice in an hour and sometimes it wont happen for a day. I have updated BIOS to v1.7, turned on and off turbo mode, manually slightly increased my vcore, increased base clock to 101 (MHz), turned on and off power saving settings, tried sata 6 and sata 3 ports, ran MemTest, newest drivers from MSI site. Also from day 1 the OC genie never worked, whenever I would try it it would freeze up at the windows loading screen. I have been able to overclock manually and get it up to 4.7GHz and then got a blue screen while running 3dMark, but that was just for a short time while testing and have since reverted back to stock speeds and it still randomly hard locks. My temps are always fine 32-50 C. This is basically a core upgrade with some reused parts from last setup (which was rock solid always).

Anyone have any ideas about how I could isolate what exactly the issue is? Bad mobo maybe? The lack of a stable system is really killing me. Making this post from my laptop

I am having the same problems as you. Have not done all those tests that you have done tho. I have not overclocked or changed anything, its all default settings for me. I still run the default BIOS version. Was thinking of updating now but it seems like MSI has removed the v1.7 update.
Normally it happens like this. Im in a game and suddenly all gets frozen. Then I am disconnected from the game server (I run online games) and then the game hangs. Still I can alt-tab in to windows. Then I try to open task manager to see whats going on but it never shows... computer starts running slowly. Mouse and keyboard input work for 4 seconds at a time, and then stops working for 4 seconds, then works for 4 seconds... after a while the computer comes to a complete halt.
I have run chkdsk on my disks. I have checked all temperatures, all ok. I have a Corsair 850W which gives power to my:

2xseagate 500GB disks in RAID1

Currently I have removed all disks from port 2-5 in order to see if that is the issue, considering Intels pressrelease.

No sound on P67A-GD65 B3

I recently got this motherboard and I can't get the sound out of it. I've installed Realtek HD Audio Driver and I plugged in the speaker wires in the back(I'm pretty sure I plugged it correctly).
Device manager detects it, the volume says its working but still no sound.
What am I doing wrong here?
any help would be appreciated

Boot Cooling Issue on MSI P67A-GD65

I luv my MSI P67A-GD65 with the 1.8b10 bios but this one has me baffled - first of all my system is controlled by a wall switch so at night I hit the switch and all power is off the system. When I turn it on after work I hit the power button and when I go into bios the temps read 97c!. After a restart the same thing and then on the third try temps are normal.
I have the CPU temp setting at 50c and am suspecting that the Corsair H50 pump does not have enough volts to turn over especially when it is cold. I've been dealing with it but those high temps are kind of scary.
My Green Power CPU Power setting is APS. Any Ideas??

Maybe the fact that by shutting off the power like like that you lose the standby power to the MB creating your problem. Do you have the same problem if you don't shut the wall switch off and just shut the PC down the normal way in Windows?
I always shut down windows first then hit the wall switch. Tonight I'll leave the power on to the computer and will check it tomorrow after work.
thanks

Weird boot sequence - MSI P67A-GD65

I have a prob with my board;
1. I turn on the pc in a normal fashion
2. The PC starts up (powers on), and I hear the fans and HDDs spinning
3. The PC stays on power for a few seconds, then powers down.
4. The PC restarts on its own and performs a normal boot into windows.
I can't find the solution for this weird problem. I have memory from the recommended list from the msi site, and updated my bios to the most recent version in an attempt to fix the problem. I have found a similar problem on another site, but this is a mb of a different brand, namely Asus. LINK -> http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=265454
The solution given there is a bios update (what I've already did) or change some bios settings, but asus uses different names for the settings, so I'm confused.
I have this problem in normal mode (load optimized defaults) and also in mild OC situations. I have the most recent bios from the MSI site.

Having exactly the same cold boot issue:
1. I turn on the pc in a normal fashion
2. The PC starts up (powers on), and I hear the fans and HDDs spinning
3. The PC stays on power for a few seconds, then powers down (no any POST printout)
4. The PC restarts on its own and performs a normal boot into windows.
5. CPU is overclocked to 4.6GHz, 1.30V@BIOS (1.35V in CPUz under heavy load, max temps 64-65C). Rock stable, Prime95, Linx, IBT 2.51, etc for hours.
Also strange this is that is does not happen always, but maybe in 70-80% of cases. Haven't figured out what's the catch, but it does not happen when everything is on default/auto.
Bios v1.9.
