P67a-gd65 (b3) - DDR3 2133 double restart issue

I have had my p67a-gd65 (b3) for just over a year. Mostly been ok.
Today I received my Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model 997015.
I went in set the bios to 2133, checked voltage (was reporting like 1.488v so I upped the voltage from auto to ~1515 or whatever 2 up from 1.5 is) turned on XMP and rebooted. I immediately found that my overclock was no longer stable. So I reset to 34 multi and auto core voltage.
Every time I turn on my computer/reboot now it starts to power up, shuts off, then powers back up again (like its booting twice). It is very annoying.
If I turn the ram down to 1866 it acts normal (1 power on). Set it to 2133 and back to the double power on.
I was on the latest beta bios, so I tried going back to 1e same thing.

Excerpts from another earlier thread;
Quote
I 'never' have a double boot behavior unless I use a certain configuration of RAM, speed and/or timing settings. Intel systems have had double boot behavior for years. Most of the time, with recent platforms, disable of EuP 2013 fixes it. IMO, I think it's frequency or frequency noise related to some degree.
Quote
Like I mentioned, with a certain RAM kit set to 1333, 1600, or 1866 speed = no double boot. With another different kit, 2133 speed = double boot.
If your multi drops, that usually is an indicator the power duration limits are set too low, or the UEFI/BIOS version is an early release. Make sure EuP 2013 and Spread Spectrum are 'disabled'.
Added: If you are setting X.M.P. to 'enabled', there should be no reason to set anything manually concerning RAM.

as per topic, when I restart pc, it shuts down, waits 5 sec then powers on as normal. nothing appears to be wrong except this issue.
it used to work fine with another 2g memory stick(which wouldn't work at it's rated 1333 speed, but that's another story, and I highly suspect the memory stick in question is at fault).
oc genie is disabled of course.
all bios settings are at default, except following:
boot order
ahci enabled for all sata connectors(hotswap disabled)
slight overclock with turboboost multiplier at 40 40 38 37
memory set to 1866 2T 9 10 9 27 link, xmp disabled, dram voltage 1.536v.
I can pass a few hours of memtest86 at these settings, and except for restart issue, everything is fine.
I tried setting xmp on(with everything on auto). auto dram voltage was set to 1.632 in this case, which appears to be slightly excessive, and it didn't cure reboot problem anyway.
I tried apping dram voltage up to rated 1.65v with xmp off and manually set timings.
I tried running at 1600mhz.
any idea what might cause shut down instead of reboot? any settings I should try?
might this be a bios problem? my mouse doesn't work with this bios, it used to work with 1d0 though.

Try 'disable' of EuP 2013.
thank you! that cured it, and now it restarts as it should, no issues.
I also tried your settings, and it didn't work "out of the box", so I went to my old ones, and changed to 1T, that should be enough for me anyway. I could play with the settings a little I guess, but changing some of them and hitting save causes the same behavior shutdown-wait-restart, and I'm not sure which ones do that.
dram frequency and sata mode for one do that, as intel vt-x/vt-d settings, not sure about timings, sometimes it shutdowns, sometimes restarts.

How about restarting when the system is in stock settings?
sorry, didn't try that, even if that would work, there is no point for me.

P67A-GD65 (B3 ) & Windows 7 64Bit Boot Issue

Hi,
I feel the need to revisit this old forum post as I do not believe it has been fully resolved:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=156082.0
In summary the issue is "Most times the machine boots and performs flawlessly for hours, but often it boots with the Windows-7 “need to repair” screen and after running repair for a while Windows says: “Windows cannot repair the problem”…….but when I press the Reset button, the PC boots and runs just fine".
I only had the problem since updating from 1F beta 2 to the latest BIOS version. On the original forum thread there are some that had the view that the issue was introduced around BIOS version 1.F (full release, non-beta) and 1.G. Just to confirm this issue NEVER happened for me on 1F beta 2 or earlier BIOS releases. The original forum also has some people saying the issue did not exist on earlier BIOS versions as well.
Most people seem to have solved the issue by either resetting the CMOS or loading default BIOS settings. I tried this and it did initially solve the problem for me.
BUT when I installed new drivers (such as nvidia v301.24) or added new hardware (e.g. Bigfoot PCIe network gaming card) the problem came back.
This implies to me that there is an issue with the BIOS and that resetting the CMOS is a workaround rather than a true fix.
This leaves me with two choices:
- use an older BIOS, which is ok but limits me from the new functionality in the BIOS (including not being able to use certain hardware that the BIOS updates support)
- resetting the CMOS after loading new drivers or installing new hardware and then configure my settings (which is very tedious)
Neither option is ideal to me.
The main purpose of raising this issue is to ask whether MSI Support know of this issue and have it on their bug list to fix?
I am concerned it is not being addressed as other forum entries talk about BIOS version 1.K3 being the last version.
My system details are P67-GD65(B3), Windows 7 64bit, 16GB Gskill 2133Mhz memory, 2 SSD, 2HDD, Nvidia 570 GTX, Bigfoot network gaming card.

Thank you _MELK_ for bringing us your experience.
It was already reported that this bug did not appear with older firmware versions.
It is interesting to know that version 1.14 does not have this bug.
This information should help the MSI support team to create a 1.K reliable firmware.
In my opinion, I do not think that Intel RST is the cause of this bug.
Sure thing momosala..
An update to this issue is as follow...
BIOS 1.14 fixed this issue completely. NO errors since I flashed back to it. I also reinstalled Intel RST without any issue either.
Note that I wanted 1.19 for another reason as well (fix for USB 3.0 port issues). I wound up flashing the chipset for the USB ports themselves instead . Now the MB works as intended! :D
WARNING: use the info below with CAUTION (not simple to do, and not provided/supported by MSI afaik)
INFO on USB 3.0 firmware/drivers -- again, use CAUTION and do your research before proceeding!
Note that it took me a few hours to complete the flash since I had to research which version of the chipset I had (hardware ID helped, LOTS of reading on the subject as well to find out HOW to flash my board properly).
You can find the drivers/firmware for the "Renesa USB 3.0 Host controller" by searching google for
Driver: Renesas/Nec Usb 3.0 Version 3.0.23.0/2.1.39.0 WHQL.
I used the 2.1.39.0 drivers -- you'll find the firmware at the same place and an explanation on how to flash the chipset we have on the P67A-GD65 (which has TWO identical chips to flash). The new firmware updater doesn't work on those, so you need to download an older firmware to use the older DOS program to flash with the newer .MEM files.

P67A-GD65 (B3) - DDR3 ram?

hi all, i am newbie and building new PC, what RAM without overclocking would you recommend for a PC newbie for this motherboard?
1) Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (4GBx4) DDR3 1600, PC3-12800 240-Pin UDIMM Memory BLS4KIT4G3D1609DS1S00/BLS4CP4G3D1609DS1S00 ?
2) Crucial Ballistix Sport 32GB Kit (8GBx4) DDR3 1600 (PC3-12800) 240-pin UDIMM BLS4KIT8G3D1609DS1S00 / BLS4CP8G3D1609DS1S00 ?
any other suggestions and help would be greatly appreciated. thank you all!

sorry for my questions, what i7 CPU could i install?
Check thecpu support chart for your board: http://www.msi.com/support/mb/P67AGD65_B3.html#support-cpu
Basically any Sandy/Ivy Bridge cpu up to i7 3770K. Note that using an Ivy Bridge cpu will require a current bios.
Quote from: rocafella1978 on 14-May-15, 19:52:24
also which PSU would make sense
That depends on your needs. Considering that you want to buy a low-mid range vga a psu of 500 or 550W class should be sufficient in any case.
Good examples would be Corsair CX500 or CS550, Cooler Master G550M, Thermaltake Smart M550W or SeaSonic S12II-520
Quote from: rocafella1978 on 14-May-15, 19:52:24
and which GPU? (low-mid range $$$ budget)
Considering Nvidia GTX 750ti maybe GTX 960 2GB would fit in that budget. Examples would be MSI N750Ti TF 2GD5/OC, MSI N750Ti-2GD5/OC, MSI GTX 960 2GD5 or MSI GTX 960 2GD5T OC
For AMD R9 270(X) and 285 would be options. If being lucky remainders of R9 280 could also fall in your budget (best option of the AMD models). MSI R9 270 Gaming 2G, MSI R9 270X Gaming 2G (ITX) or MSI R9 285 2GD5T OC would be examples.
Note that any of these cards will also require a current bios on your mainboard.

P67A-GD65 Overclocking Help!

Hey everyone - I'm new to the forums and fairly new to overclocking in general, although I understand the basics of it... I've run into a snag, though.
Recently I was redoing my desktop (Intel i5 2500k, MSI P67A-GD65, 16GB DDR3 1600 RAM, yada yada) and decided to update the BIOs, something I hadn't thought of doing since I built the PC over a year and a half ago... So, I updated from 1.9 (I think... it was 1.something) to the latest 4.3, and did a reformat on the HDDs and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit... So I'm from scratch. I go into the BIOs to tweak the CPU and all, but I can't adjust anything at all. It's all stuck on "AUTO". I can't make the adjustments I need to make to overclock the CPU... I've read through several tutorials and threads on more forums than I care to admit, and my head is starting to hurt from (1) reading so much and (2) banging my head into the desk over this... Am I missing something? I've read that 4.3 has had some issues when it comes to OC'ing... What should I do? I can grab screenshots or more specs if needed. Thanks for the help in advance - I definitely appreciate it!
-Ben

Have you tried a full CMOS clear? PSU power cord removed, battery removed, and then a settings reset? My favorite UEFI/BIOS was the v1.C and the v1.H (2700k support). If you want, it is possible to revert back to a Sandy UEFI/BIOS on the primary BIOS chip. An admin or mod can give you the necessary files and information on how to do it.
After the Ivy flash, did you also load the new Management Engine driver required? Also with a fresh OS, newest chipset driver installed, etc.? Here's the link to the MSI Website for your board and all the drivers;
http://msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD65--B3-.html
I did a CMOS reset with the "Reset CMOS" button on the motherboard... After I did that and restarted the PC, a message came up informing me that the CMOS had been restored to default settings and asked if I wanted to go into setup or boot as normal... I can pop the battery and PSU cable out if needed... At this point, I'd be perfectly happy reverting back to a Sandy Bridge friendly BIOS, lol...
I did install the new drivers after flashing the new BIOS, by the way. Followed all the instructions in the link you posted.

P67A-GD65 freezing up

I've never seen a "Forum" that wants new topics for the exact same problems (spreading potential fixes for the same issue all over the place instead of in one thread), but apparently if I post to another topic from someone with identical problems (the one right below this one with the same issue) I'm called a thread hijacker.
Seems like a ton of people are having these issues with lockups with the P67A-GD65

Then go to another machine and RDP to it, no problems. Wait about an hour, RDP and you get "Welcome" and it just hangs.
So if I go to the console, it tells me someone else is trying to login, but no drive activity at all, and won't let me do anything and I have to hard power off.
If I'm at the machine, just doing different "normal" things, browser windows lockup, applications lockup, all requiring a hard shutdown by the button since I can't select the option to reboot normally. No BSOD's, no OC, the OC Genie is OFF
My memory is even certified for this damn board on bios 1.B which I have updated to. But in "auto" doesn't even get the memory timings correct.
http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=378
I'm Going nutz trying to figure out what the f--k is going on. I even ran the on board memory test and it passed.
I'm thinking that quality control on this production line is crap. I've seen a ton of complaints of BSOD's, rebot loops, and random lockups which can be reproduced easily.
MSI? Are you going to fix this!!!
How about posting the serial numbers of the bad run from manufacturing so users can see if they have a bad board? I've been building systems for 15 years and I've never had so much trouble with a board.
Has anyone had a success story that wasn't from an RMA? I haven't found a post where a user had these issues and made a few bios changes and they came back with "great, that fixed it".
Thanks
Scott

I've heard that kind of thing a million times. Be that as it may, it does not really tell us anything about the actual cause of the problem. Furthermore, if you are so sure it is the board, why didn't you simply send it back/RMA it/have it exchanged after you have ruled all other explanations out systematically?

There are thousands of freeze issues on all different hardware configurations. However, more important than the symptoms are the precise hardware configuration the freezes occur in and the actual causes for the common symptom. Once the causes are truly found out it makes sense to compare similar issues. It should not be done, however, because of a common symptom. And that is exactly why your problem (and any other problem that is just a symptom at first) deserves its own, seperate thread.

Please reduce the complexity of your system to the most basic configuration needed to run your operating system. Use one stick of RAM only, make sure it is set to run at a frequency that does not exceed the specifications of the processor's memory controller (DDR3-1333 max.!). Unplug all the hard drives, optical drives, SSDs, card readers, add-on cards, USB devices etc. that are not needed to work with the operating system (you need just mouse, keyboard, video card, processor, one stick of RAM).
Once you have reduced the system complexity and please unplug your PSU from A/C power, >>Clear CMOS<< and then load "Optimized Defaults" in UEFI Setup. Then apply your custom settings (e.g. RAID Mode settings & Memory Speed = DDR3-1333).
Then retest.
In case the freezes still occur, then please disable all CPU related power saving settings in UEFI Setup (C1E, C-States, EIST) and retest. Also, try if setting the phase control mode from "APS" to "Intel SVID" mode.

Alrighty everyone, so this might end up being a fairly lengthy article, but I want to make sure I give you all of the information so you can correctly assess.
Earlier in the year, I decided that I needed a desktop for college. I had seen people do it before and I was fairly adept at computers, so I put the computer together with the above components from newegg.
Originally, I put the desktop together in about five hours and hooked it up. Worked great, except on startup it gave (and still gives) me an error of saying "No Hard Disk Detected", however the opposite could not be truer as it found my hard drive when I loaded the OS; Windows 7. I then tested it that night with Starcraft II and it worked great; no minor bugs, nothing. The following day, I pull all of my games/programs on it including skype. Here is where things started to get weird. On Borderlands, everything went great and without a hitch, however when I started Civilization V, after playing for about an hour, it froze. And this freeze froze everything; the keyboard, the monitor, the mouse, etc. A buzzing sound came from the speakers and a hard restart was necessary. This freeze also happened again during the Multiplayer for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, Starcraft II (after about an hour), League of Legends and even Skype, while using my webcam. Also, in the Windows reliability program and windows events, no freeze is registered.
So I thought "oh, this is obviously overheating or a voltage problem" (the cpu temps were getting between 85-90 C's). So I fixed the RAM's voltage so it fit exactly what it needed (it required 1.65 volts, but the auto detect only gave it 1.5, so it was around .15 off). While waiting for the fan and thermal paste to come, I reinstalled Windows 7, reinstalled the drivers for all of my components and checked event viewer (which I ended up needlessly fixing an event 3011 and 3012 for corrupt performance readers).
My fan and paste came in yesterday and applied both, making my cpu super-cooled leveling off at a max of 50 C's at full load and 25-30 C's idling. The hottest component is now the GPU which usually hits 65-70 C's under full load.
At this point, I figured "great, I have been freeze-free for 2 days, let's retest", so I played two games of league of legends last night (around 1.5 hours) on skype and it froze. Again. Once I restarted my desktop to let everyone know what happened (and loaded skype and rejoined the conversation) I only got in two words before it froze again.
In summary, basically under stress, especially under games/programs requiring the internet, the computer has a full freeze, requiring a hard reset. I tried to fix the voltages (RAM) as well as cool the computer, which seemed to work only for a short while. Further once the computer freezes, whenever I turn it back on, it is more prone to freezing unless I leave it off overnight.
I'm not even necessarily looking for an answer, just an idea of where to start. Thanks again, I would really appreciate some help on this one.
=========
Update: I used Prime95 to test it as well as Intel Burn Test. No freeze during IBT, and for Prime95 it usually gets hit on the In-Place Large FFT or Blend Test. Hasn't frozen on Small FFT. I also just updated the the mobo's BIOS again to the latest one. Also, with the update, if I put the RAM's voltage at 1.65 (or anything above Auto), it won't boot the OS.
Any ideas welcome.

Right, saw this in my email inbox and thought I would respond, being the OP and all. I asked MSI what the problem was (giving all issues I had) - the response I received was
"We have to suggest you contact your reseller (The place you bought this MB from) and have them test the MB completely for you to check if this MB is faulty or not, then ask for some help.
If the reseller for some reason cannot help, we have to ask you to contact MSI distributor or MSI office near your place to seek further help" about 2-3 weeks ago (took them a month to get back).
The only problem with this, is I am a college student and half about five days left to get back to school and I NEED this desktop for school. So giving back the computer, allowing them to run tests, then waiting to return it seems like an entirely long and not necessary considering the desktop WORKS, but only on 4GB of RAM as opposed to 8GB.
However, I AM willing to check the c-state, but I will need some information first to make sure my desktop won't explode if I do this wrong.
1) What does the C-State do?
2) How do I disable it?
3) Is this really an option I should check into?
Thanks again, this community has honestly been more helpful than MSI's actual customer support.
It won't help you with your problem but I've tested C-state for a while and you can read what it will do in the link HU16E provided. I've noticed that in Idle state the usage of power drops a couple of watts, so when you have your PC in idle a lot of time and you care about power saving it's worth trying. When overclocking it can be unstable however. I have a CPU that handles all cores set to 46 with all energy settings on and auto Vcore completely stable, when going to 47 I have to compensate. The first thing I have to do is disable C-State because it will BSOD when in idle for a while. So I will suggest that if you use stock settings and care about power saving you try it and otherwise disable it.

P67A-GD65 major issues

I'm having some major problems with my P67A-GD65. I received this board from an RMA about 2 weeks ago (previous board had the no and/or corrupt ME issue), installed it and have had zero issues until two days ago. I was playing a game when the game crashed. I didn't think anything of it and started up again but the crashes continued from that point on (game has been installed and played without issue for 2 weeks, since new RMA). I did a restart and upon reboot several windows services and other apps all crashed. I checked event viewer and noticed all the crashes are listed under the same event ID (event ID 1000, Exception code: 0xc0000005). At this point I scheduled at disk check (using windows 7, enabled both fix file system errors and scan for bad clusters), I let the scan run it's full course (took several hours) and there were zero errors. I decided to reintall my OS and see if I had any better luck, thinking perhaps the game crash caused some freak, one of kind, system error.
As soon as the OS was running again, I was immediately greeted with more of the same errors. This time searchindexer.exe crashed over 100 times, until I got a BSOD (bad_pool_caller stop 0x000000C2). I rebooted and there were no errors, again checking the event viewer, I saw the same event ID 1000 with same exception code (also, this The Windows Search service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 138 times, bear in mind this occurred in a 10 minute time period). I tried to install some of my drivers, only to have my sound drivers refuse to install with a CRC error and my video drivers install, then immediately had the catalyst service crash upon reboot. I was afraid perhaps it was my SATA port going bad so I moved my HDD from SATA 8 to SATA 1 (avoiding all the Intel ports) but this didn't help the issue at all. Is it possible I got a bad RMA board from MSI? Any ideas on things I can check out? It's odd it was working fine for the first two weeks.
I mention the problems beginning with the game crash because something odd happened after the crash. I was playing a game within Steam. Right after the crash, steam no longer worked. As soon as I tried to start steam again, it would crash and quit immediately. I had to do a complete reinstall of Steam to get it working again. I do have UAC disabled so is it possible by some freak occurrence the game crash could have damaged my OS install? Again, I did a complete reinstall since then though and had no improvements.

I just wanted to add a few of the errors from event viewer:

P67a GD65 restarting on startup.

I've had my p67a GD65 for about two years. Last month it began having problems. Sometimes, when I turn the computer on, the system fans and lights will come on for about 1-2seconds, then the computer will shutoff, and come back on. Usually when this happens, it will successfully start up the second time. Occasionally, it will be stuck in a continuous reboot. I saw on some other forums that a lot of people were having this issue with this motherboard, some people reporting that they had to get it replaced three times. Is it just a cheaply made motherboard?
My BIOS is updated to the latest sandy bridge version (1.19) and I have reflashed it to several versions and it wont help.
I have already tried running memtest, and it shows no memory errors.
I have tried using only one stick of ram instead of two, and swapping them, and the issue still occurs.
I have tried clearing the CMOS with the jumper, does not help.
I have tried removing the CMOS battery for 10 minutes, does not help.
I could send it back to MSI since its still within warranty, but after hearing of people on other forums doing this only to have the issue some time later, I'm wondering if I should just get a better quality motherboard to not have to deal with the hassle.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Thank you.

Because of your (already changed by me) offending username and the bashing attitude in your post I'm still wondering whether to spend any time on helping you or not.
If you are that guy, we're wasting our time here.
Your processor (and mainboard) got significant damage due to that 4.5GHz for 2 years.
You need to borrow another (known good) processor and to see if the mainboard is also ok
Replacing the Corsair HX850 PSU (probably damaged too) with Antec NEO Eco 620W helps only if the processor and the mainboard are full functional.

P67A-GD65 (B2) - Asus R9290 DirectCU II Post Issue

Hi All,
Having an issue with the above card posting which I understand is an issue with the below BIOS version.
BIOS v1.19 / 1.J0
Intel ME 7.1.52.1176
I have tried to flash the BIOS with the forum tool and custom BIOS E7681IMS to allow the ME8 update which I have read on the forum will allow compatibilty with the card. However I am seeing the following message when the tool runs ''The Host CPU does not have write access to the target flash area you must modify the descriptor setting to give host access to this region''
Is there an option I need to check in the BIOS before updating - not seeing anything relating to this in the options.
Appreciate any assistance here.
Thanks
Izzzit

If your P67A-GD65 is really a (B2) you can't flash it with an ME8 bios required to run latest AMD R9 or GeForce GTX7xx and above. Only (B3) can be updated to ME8. The B2 should have been returned long ago when there was an issue with that revision of the Intel chipset that has been cured with the B3 revision.

P67A GD65 B3 - issues

Hi everyone
I have some isses with my new p67a-gd65:
Q1. When booting before showing the intel raid utility I hear 1long and 3or4 short beeps. Accorind to google those 3 short beeps should mean that there's a problem with the upper memory. I have F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 (2x4GB) and the memory is supported by this mobo according to the gskills website. Furthermore I ran the memtest86+ (v4.20) a week ago and this morning (for about 90mins) and no errors turned out. The system/memory hasn't been overclocked and I'm using the 1f8 bios.
If the beeps are 4short this should mean that the system timer is dead. I cannot see any issues when running win7 or fedora linux. Everything looks ok. Should I be concerned???
I noticed the beeps this morning because it turned out I've used the wrong pins for the beeper (JFP2) for the mobo. That's why I haven't heard them before (if there were any).
Should I be concered for those beeps?
Q2. In the "green" section there are 2 options to choose from: APS and Intel SVID XXXX. When I choose APS all 6 phase leds are on all the time. As I said before the system hasn't been overclocked (i5-2500k). Even in idle (after 15 min) I still have a solid light from all 6 leds.
If I choose Intel SVID instead of APS after the system fully boots it shows 1 led with steady light, the following 4 are lit but not as intensive as the first one, and the last led is blinking. So I still have all of them on. I have enabled the c1e state and the other c states and chosen "no limit" for the c-states.
once again: Should I be concerned about this? Why don't those led turn off et least in idle???
Q3: I'm using an raid0 for my data and therefore have enabled the intel-raid. As a result when booting I have to wait about 7 sec starring in front of the "intel raid-rom bla-a-a-a". Do you know how I can hide the this intel-blaaaaa and speed up the boot process?
otherwise the system looks rock solid but those isses drive me crazy!

Msi P67A-GD65 keep restarting after bios update

Hello
I have a Msi P67A-GD65 B2 motherboard, I tried today to upgrade bios to version 4.2,after update pc start up showing marvel controller then MSI logo and then computer restart over and over,if I try to enter BIOS will show 'entering setup', and restart again.Dual BIOS led does not light up and is not blinking.What can I do in this situation? How to switch the motherboard BIOS to boot from the other one?

Can you verify that, I don't think they make a B2.
Not sure why the hijack in this thread with different hardware involved, but a B2 is a defective mainboard from the beginning, and should have been replaced at the time of the replacement offers over a year or so ago.

I understood that there was a backup BIOS so I felt confident to be able to fall back in some way. Can you help me using that backup?
The Ivy udpate flashes the secondary chip as well on the GD65, so it would do no good to have access to it unless you could get into the UEFI/BIOS somehow to 'enable' the Dual BIOS Auto Update setting to restore the corrupted primary.

P67a-gd65 b3 sleep issue

Hi guys,
Just did a new build using p67a-gd65 board with core i7-2600K, evga gtx580, 4GB ripjaw gskill memory, crucial c300 128gb SSD.
The problem I am having is that when the computer goes to sleep (S3 set in bios) it turns completely off, I cant wake it from the mouse or keyboard. Have to hit the power button to get it to start and at that point it's basically rebooting rather than resuming from sleep and Windows complains it wasnt shut down properly.
I have all the right drivers installed from MSI, using their live update utility and all the windows 7 64bit patches etc.
Anyone else facing this issue?

Without knowing details I would say to check 1) OCing, 2) Power supply capabilities and 3) Different RAM, GSkill Ripjaws can be problematic

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

USB3 Issues P67A-GD65 (B3) MB

HI Guys.... little bit of frustration here, recently swapped out my old case to one with a front USB3 port, but when i plugged it into the USB3 header on the motherboard it refuses to read a USB3 hard drive, i've tried my seagate as well as other hard drives but all seem to be suffering the same issue... the best i got was after installing some other drivers not downloaded from the MSI site and it recognised the one hard drive for all of 10secs and then nothing, USB2 devices work perfectly but not USB3, all the USB3 ports in the back panel work perfectly... but i was hoping that i wouldnt have to get down on my hands and knee's under the table to plug them in anymore.... i know this board is quite old but i'm hoping that some one around here has had some luck with solving this issue and can point me in the right direction...
Things i've tried unsuccessfully,
Updating driver
Updating renesas firmware (get a plural device error)
formatting and reinstall win 7 and drivers
*unplug and throw against wall*
System is running:
Win 7 x64 Ultimate SP1
I7 2600
16GB Kingston Ram
MSI 660 TI PE
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)

First impression is the case connection cable is defective. If you have one or can borrow one, try with a standard accessory USB 3.0 bracket.
