P67A-GD65(b3) BIOS 4.3 all is well but no XMP option (greyed out)

Hi all,
I just flashed to BIOS 4.3 (from 1.4, then 1.9) because of issues with keyboard/random repeat boot.
SInce I plan to upgrade in the next few months... I decided to take some risks and try the 4.3 BIOS even though I'm still using a i7 2600k
The flash went without any issues, I then installed ME8 + drivers/updates etc etc.  All in all, the PC works as intended.
The ONLY issue I found is that I cannot set XMP in the BIOS 4.3 while I was able to without any problems with 1.4-1.9.  The option is always greyed out.
I'm wondering if there a setting that greys it out somewhere else, but so far I can't find it if there is one.  Check my sig for the type of memory.   I tried with 1 stick, 2 sticks & 4 sticks.  Same results on all 3 tries.
P.S. Not a huge issue since I can set the mem at 1600 manually but I would rather it read the XMP info for the other timings.

Hi @momosala,
Thanks for the suggestion.
I reflashed to 4.30 using the Tool & the archive (.zip in last post of the page you linked) you suggested.  Cleared the CMOS.  Reset to defaults (F6), rebooted.
   Same results.  XMP still greyed out. 
Again, no big deal.. been gaming/working with the PC for the last 2 days at 1333mhz with no discernible differences that I could see performance wise.
Other than that,
1) my OC is as stable as it ever was (4.0-4.3 turbo). 
2) most important, the new G510 keyboard (replacement for my defective g110 sent by Logitech) is detected correctly with this BIOS.
3) no double reboots that was showing up in 1.9
P.S. I *am* using 16GB  (4x4GB) of memory although it worked fine in 1.4 & 1.9 XMP.  Memory is Corsair Vengeance CML8GX3M2A1600C9 x 4.
CORRECTION: Forgot about this.. slot 1 & 3 are CML8GX3M2A1600C9, while slot 2 & 4 are CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 (same memory, shorter heat sinks).   I could try removing 2 sticks to see if it would work.. well,  I'll actually do it right now after writing this.. be right back...
RESULT: FIXED (somewhat) see next post
P.P.S.  I find the numbers a bit confusing for full release vs beta.   4.39 was the last beta while 4.30 is the latest release.   If I read the dates correctly, I see that 4.30 is the latest BIOS - meaning it's more recent than beta 4.39... is this correct?

  • I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes shows album as purchased but album is not in my Mac library.

    I transfered my purchases from my iphone to my mac. All transfers completed. One particular album shows up on the phone but the songs are greyed out and don't play. Itunes store shows album as purchased but album does not show up in my Mac library. How can I retrieve the album.

    So i've found the answer to this by clicking on every menu and setting in the itunes store. It turns out some purchases in the cloud can be hidden probably as the result of an interrupted transfer/sync/backup or a network outage. To unhide purchases 'greyed out ' items , go to the Itunes store (on the PC) click on your account name and select view account. (you'll be prompted for your itunes password) once you are in scroll down to the purchase history section. there should be an option for hidden purchases. click through and click on unhide purchases, redownloadble purchases. any hidden purchases will then show up. click on unhide to reactivate and download. This may only work for purchases in the cloud.
    hope others find this useful.

  • Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.

    Just updated my iPhone 4 from IOS 6.1.3 to 7.1.2, I know I am behind the times, but I got there eventually! All seems well but I have one specific problem and hope someone can offer a helpful suggestion.
    On opening the app "Find my iPhone" I add my password and sign in, to be greeted with a screen that says;
    "Update Find My iPhone. A new version of Find My iPhone is available from the App. Store. You must install the update to continue using the app. Update now"
    On hitting the "Update now" button I'm taken to the relevant page on the App Store, to be told that I cannot update as it needs IOS8 to be able to continue and as my iPhone is only a 4 cannot install IOS8.
    I'm left going around in circles. The only thing would be to delete the app, but looks like I could not re-install the version I would need. Any body have any thoughts or suggestions? (Apart from updating my phone, I have a few months left on the contract!)
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I have tried as you suggested, and when opening the "purchased" apps some have the icloud logo next to them, but I only have "OPEN" against "Find My iPhone". When opening it up, it goes through the same routine; needs to be updated before proceeding, and wouldn't update because I don't have IOS8.
    Anything else I could try, or am I doomed!
    All of your help is much appreciated, thanks

  • Itunes showing all data as other and sync button greyed out

    Itunes showing all data as other and sync button greyed out.  I have downloaded and installed Itunes 11 (multiple times) and restored my phone twice already, but I am still not able to sync my Iphone 4 with Itunes.
    When I select / de-select Apps on Itunes to remove from the phone the "Apply" button does appear, but after I click it nothing happens.  Then the greyed out "sync" button just appears again.
    Anyone with some advise please?

    Try Restarting or Resetting your touch.
    Restart: Hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears and turn off your iPod. Press the sleep/wake button and hold it until you see the Apple icon.
    Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time. The red slider will appear first, keep hold everything until you see the Apple icon. Release the buttons.
    Check your iPod and see if your music and apps have reappeared. If they do after either option, then resync your iPod.
    If neither works, then Restore your touch through iTunes.

  • P67A-GD65: failed BIOS update, no more post

    Hi,
    I had updated my P67A-GD65 (B3) to the new 4.3 BIOS, after using a much older one, based on the description for improved PCI-E performance. The experience was a nightmare though, and not only could I no longer overclock in the BIOS (nor the Control Center software), but my video card, a Radeon 7870, became highly unstable. I had backed up my BIOS before this, and proceeded to downgrade to it from the BIOS utility. It gave me a warning that the BIOS file was not for my motherboard, which i understandably ignored, since that was what it had been running before. Lo and behold, the machine will no longer post at all and I have just about thrown in the towel.
    I did some searches here and cleared the CMOS via the jumper, and tried the recovery tips I saw regarding booting with the CTRL-Home keys pressed, but no sign of life at all. I live in Brazil, so sending this for tech support will mean some weeks and shipping abroad. Before I do that, does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

    I Think MSI must advise all users that some procedure of flashing are dangerous, like "in Bios" and "in Windows".
    MSI should simply remove from official site these flashing possibilities.
    Perhaps I exaggerate, but it is not normal that the flashing procedure fails with official tools.
    I think the fact their new BIOS is so problematic is a much worse issue than this failed flash problem that killed my computer. I did not mention that after all those problems I described with 4.3, I actually downgraded to 4.2 to see the exact same problem. It was at that point that I chose to move back to the older BIOS family which led to the present standstill.

  • P67A-GD65 B3 - bios locked at 42x cpu ratio

    Hi all
    I'm running a P67A-GD65 (B3) with 2x2GB of G.Skill ripjaws (F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM) 2500k, 460gtx, WD black, WD green, win7 HP
    And just added another two stick of the same ripjaws. - this didn't post :(
    Cleared cmos, loaded defaults as was running the ripjaws at 1.5v still didn't boot
    Removed the old set and booted fine with the new set.
    Ran the bios and windows memtest all fine.
    Then noticed that new sticks were running 1.66v with XMP (1600)
    XMP couldn't be disable and ram speed coundn't be changed - bios showed as white, but didn't highlight with mouse or arrow keys.
    CPU ratio was also at 42 (as above, white but un clickable or arrow un selectable)
    It was also running stock bios 1.8 - and I'm sure I was using 1.8b11 beta
    Flashed to 1.12 but that didn't change anything accept a different set of beeps
    running 1.9 now with same beeps as before.
    load defaults doesn't change any thing - very confused - if there a setting I need to unlock to change things manually?

    Gave the OC Genie button a bit of movement when the power was fully off.
    It started up perfectly after an extended time clear cmos - stock 2500k timings and 1.5v 667 (10700)
    Rebooted with the extra sticks without issue , stressing the ram now without errors.
    Thank to you both - don't think i left it long enough after using the cmos button - my bad, school boy error of not reading the clear cmos guide

    boot from the stick again, when you see to choice modes 1,2,3, hit [shift+f5],
    then type efiflash bios.bin [ctrl+m]

    Does it have something to do with the usb-stick?
    nope, its some kind of compatiblity issue with this "p67a-gd65 (b3)" or at least to some specified bios version used

  • P67A-GD65 (b3) bios 4.0 problems

    Hello guys, this is my first message in this forum and I'm so excited
    Here is my problem:
    After updating my bios, i can't get my old result@overclocking, i was using my CPU@4,5ghz but now i only have 3,8ghz stable. And my ram's have xmp problem, i can't activate xmp for g.skill ram's, it was ok before update but now... how can i solve this problem, anybody has this problem?

     You should not have flashed 4.0 BIOS unless you intended to use Ivy Bridge CPU, in fact 4.0 is no longer available to flash.
     There are beta BIOSs available for keyboard/mouse issues and other similar problems but 4.0 was only available for Ivy Bridge CPU support and that did not work out so good and 4.0 was removed from BIOS downloads at MSI shortly after it was released.

     Unfortunately I don't think there is any way you can flash to the earlier BIOS you had before. I imagine it could be done by a shop or MSI using JSPI1 but you can't flash it by USB yourself.

  • P67A-GD65 B3 BIOS/UEFI update for AMD 7970

    HU1GE/Jack
    I just got my GD65 B3 RMA returned and was wanting to know if there is a preferred Bios for the new AMD 7970's? Really unsure what happened to kill my board with my two in Xfire. I have it all back together but the cards and want to get a BIOS/UEFI that is recommended. Thanks in advance for all your tireless work!

    Hi,
    not that many users out here, I suppose, that are using two crossfired 7970 cards on this platform. So, I suppose, the "pool of experience" regarding the "best UEFI/BIOS Release" for such a configuration is very, very tiny.
    As always, you find the latest BETA Releases including full changelog information here:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=144655.0
    ... but so far, there has not been a single mentioned of ATI 7xxx cards in the the detailed changelogs.
    Just to see what happens, I suggest you contact MSI Technical Support and ask them:

  • P67A-GD65 B3 BIOS Update Failure

    I decided to update my BIOS to the latest due to them being 1.5 years old (Version 1.D) to the latest (4.2).  I did it via the Windows method, after the first reboot there was no longer any video. I let it sit for 40 minutes and still nothing.  So now the computer is unusable.  I can't get into BIOS.  I tried resetting CMOS multiple times and different ways.
    The BIOS status light on the board does not indicate a problem. USB even powers up.  Not sure what to do now and could really use some assistance.
    Specs:
    Mobo: P67A-GD65 B3
    CPU: i7 2600K (No overclock)
    GPU: MSI Nvidia 670 GTX 2GB
    RAM: GSkill RIPJAWS DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 1.5v 4GB (x2)
    PSU: Corsair TX650w
    HDs: 500GB WD Blue, 650GB WD Black

    Yeah, not much you can do at this point. 
    Your best bet depending on where you are and how much shipping would be is MSI. If you could, let me know how much if anything they charge for this.
    >>How to contact MSI.<<
    Next, would be a computer shop with the nessesary equip, that is of course unless you have a friend with an IB cpu.
    Keep in mind how much it is going to cost though as even a high end board like the z77a-gd65 is only $165 or so.
    <<New Egg MSI LGA1155 Motherboards>>>
    PS: You aren't the only one by a long shot doing this, so don't feel bad. The warning isn't very intimidating beneth the bios download. Perhap's MSI will flash it for free, who knows.

  • [MSI P67A-GD65]. Quick and dirty question: Is there a Windows 8 option?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a P67A-GD65(b3), with a Sapphire R9 280x with a GOP Bios. Windows 8.1 are installed in a gpt partition, the Windows Boot Manager is booting the machine. I have the latest beta bios installed (E7681.443).
    My question is: Does this bios have the Windows 8 options (like fast/secure boot etc)?
    I can't seem to be able to find them anywhere.
    Are these options supported with another bios?
    The bios is flashed using the forum tool, and all the relevant instructions (remove power, reset etc).
    Thanks in advance.

    hi hpstg, did u run good on windows 7 with latest bios for your mobo and your amd gpu ?
    im having issues with my amd 7950 gpu...  with latest mobo bios beta....   i get intermitint crashes...
    This has nothing to do with the OP's question.
    As for his question, I do not see any win 8 features on that board. I may be wrong, but if there were, somewhere in the bios release notes you would see "Win 8 Support"

  • All drum loops in LE 8 are greyed out and Apple loops utility 'can't be installed'

    Hi
    I installed Logic Express 8 and have loads of loops missing, especially the drum loops.
    Even the Apple loops utility is giving me problems. It looks like the Apple loops utility was installed (because I have the icon for it now), but everything inside that utility is greyed out. When I try to re-install it, i get the error message 'Apple Loops Utility can’t be installed on this computer. The specified message could not be found for the index 0.'
    I have a new MAC Mini OS X 10.6.7
    Help would be appreciated.
    UPDATE: I have looked through other related discussions here but could not find the naswer.
    I also just checked in /Library/Audio/Apple Loops/User Loops to see if the files are  there and of course they are not.
    In fact, funnily enough, there are 0 files in the apple loops (although I do have plenty of loops that do play in LE8, just not the drum loops), which is strange. Where are all the files?????
    I also found the following interesting point in the discussions here:
    'The standard installation doesn't install all the loops. You'll have to do a custom installation and check the GB extras.'
    The problem is that I am never given any option to do a custom installation when I install. It only offers the normal installation mode.

    Hi,
    1. On the newer Macs, iLife 11 or so, only a part of the loops is being installed, and the other part must be downloaded via software update. GB will tell you so if you select a greyed out loop.
    2. Loops should all be in "(your HD)/library/audio/apple loops/apple", not in the user library.
    3. If you find the loops are installed there but aren't shown in LE or in GB, you might want to re-index the loops.
    4. If loops are still missing after re-indexing, drag the loops folder straight above your loop browser and drop them there - this should add the missing loops.

  • Server 4.0 can't edit users and groups. All options greyed out.

    I have upgraded the mac mini server from Mavericks to Yosemite and had to update to Server 4.0 and having many issues.
    One issue is I can't edit users and groups. All the options are greyed out.

    Search the System keychain on the server for application passwords with the name "/LDAPv3/127.0.0.1" and delete any you find. Sign out of the Server app and sign back in using the FQDN of the server, not "localhost" or "127.0.0.1".

    if you don't see this while the homeshared library is loaded, home sharing hasn't been set up properly.

    no.
    that's expected behavior.
