P67A-GD65 Motherboard PS/2 connector problem

A few months ago I picked up the P67A-GD65 Motherboard and it worked just fine. One day I turned it on and found that the keyboard wasn't working anymore, not a single button functioned and the power light was off, however the USB/wireless mouse I have was still working while plugged into the back of the keyboard. Unplugging the keyboard from the PS/2 slot, and having only the USB connector to the motherboard, suddenly the keyboard would work fine. I've used two other keyboards, of different models, in the PS/2 and have the exact problem with both of them. I've been using it like this for about 2 weeks now, and every once in a while randomly the keyboard won't function when I turn on the computer, but the mouse still does, until I reach back and unplug the USB connector and plug it back in..and then poof it works fine again, which is rather annoying and confusing.
What could be causing this problem, is there a way to fix it myself? The motherboard came with 3 years warranty, however their return policy makes is so I have to ship it to them, and they will ship it back repaired/or new, which could take a week or longer. I work off my computer and even a few days of being without it would be bad for me, and the reason I bought this motherboard is because my old one is fried, so I don't have a spare to plug in temporarily.

Souns like a faulty PS/2 connector rma or just using USB seems to be the only option.

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.
>> P67A-GD65, GD55 and GD53 [MS-7681] - BIOS/UEFI-Click-BIOS: BETA Releases <<
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, BIOS 4.0 OC problem

Quote from: HU16E on 30-May-12, 06:47:08
Before finding out about the possibility of reverting back to a pure Sandy UEFI/BIOS version, exactly what OC problems are you encountering? I had no problem taking a Sandy to 5.0 on the v40 update. Would be best to start a new thread in the OC Section of the forum about this though, as this thread is for reverting UEFI/BIOS's.
Please, could you post your settings. I find OC on 4.0 BIOS much more difficult. With the old one, my i5 2500K was running 4,3 GHz 1.28V.

The difficulty I experienced was mainly with the RAM and the CPU IMC of the Ivy. Since you are using a Sandy, that shouldn't be a problem. The Ivy update does cause a massive drop in CPU V. when an IBT is performed. Was the BSOD 1D, 7E, 050, or 124? I would recommend the Turbo method of OC. Here are the basics;

Using IDE DVD drives on a MSI P67A-GD65 motherboard

I am upgrading from a previous build and I want to keep my 2 slot loading DVD/R drives, but they are both IDE.
I tried using a PCI to IDE card from Bytech but that didn't work well. I think my best chance will be with a SATA to IDE converter.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You mean (flat cable) P-ATA drives? IDE can be associated as both S-ATA & P-ATA drives. Search the net for suitable converters & adapters. Maybe keep the old system for a backup rig. Upgrading to newer systems using older parts & PSU's is often not such a good idea.

P67a gd65 cross fire problem (Reworded)

I attempting to crossfire two amd 6950's. One is a sapphire, the other asus. When I connect both of them and power on, there is no signal to the monitors. I tried using one or the other cards but still no signal. Then I removed the sapphire card and powered on. There was a loud continuous beep. It wasn't periodic like beep beep beep. It was like beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep but didn't stop until i turned it off. I then reinstalled the sapphire card and removed the asus card, and the problem stopped and was able to get a signal to my monitors.

Problem with Sensor fan 3 and 4 (P67A-GD65

Hi all :D.
I had buy 1 week ago a new P67A-GD65 motherboard but i have found a problem .
Today, i have connected my 4 fan in three different slot fan.
When i look with EFI the rpm of the fan,i can look only CPU_FAN SYS_Fan1 and SYS_FAN2 but not for SYS_Fan3.
Where is the problem? Sensor? Or what?
I had try to use AIDA64 and SPEEDfan but same problem

Not all Fan headers support fan monitoring & fan speed adjustion. That is not a bug but rather the lack of a feature.

P67A-GD65 Power Cycle (Rebooting)

CPU: i7-2600k
RAM: F3-12800CL6D-4GBXH DDR3-1600 (CL6-8-6-24)
Motherboard: P67A-GD65
Motherboard BIOS: 1.8?
Hello, I have recently purchased a P67A-GD65 from newegg along with a 2600k and G.SKILL DDR3-1600 (F3-12800CL6D-4GBXH)
The problem I am having is that the motherboard will stay on for about 5 seconds then it will reboot, and continue to do so until I turn off the power from the PSU. It will not post so I cannot access the bios or anything.
I have been in contact with msi tech support and they keep telling me to do what I have already done so many times.
I already returned my board for a replacement once but the replacement had the same power cycling issues. I am thinking of buying some cheap 1333 CL9 RAM to see if I can manage to get into the UEFI and see if I can tweak something into making my RAM work
I went on to the G.SKILL forum and found an interesting thread about RAM incompatiblities. Could this be causing the constant reboots?
(Have cleared CMOS many times, tried different PSU, ETC)
tl;dr
Is my RAM causing the P67A-GD65 to continuously reboot without posting?
Bought some Patriot 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 CL9 RAM from newegg today to see if those will work.
Your help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Alright, the new ram I bought should arrive in a few days (3 or 4).
In the meantime while waiting, try this. With one stick RAM in the primary blue dimm slot, if you get in to the BIOS then, set DRAM Mode to 'Link', timings to 9 9 9 24, tRFC 88, DRAM V. to 1.507 or 1.521. Looking at those timings of the G.Skills in your component list, SPD being set must be rather non standard (just a guess).

USB enumeration takes up to 20 seconds after wakeup or bios boot on P67A-GD65

Hi all,
Just bought my new rig. It is described in my signature. Unfortunately I found two issues with my current setup. The first issue is in a separate post.
I'm using a P67A-GD65 motherboard. My USB keyboard and mouse are immediately detected the first time I start up my computer (cold boot), but when I do a suspend (to S3) and resume it usually takes quite a while before the mouse and keyboard are enumerated again. I can see this as the mouse and keyboard light up when they are ready for use. It sometimes takes up to 20 seconds, but the delay differs everytime. Occacionally the mouse and keyboard are immediately lighting up after I press the resume button, which is the behaviour you expect. On my previous pc I never had issues with enumeration after a resume.
When I restart the PC, the bios usually gets stuck in Post code B4 (USB HOTPLUG) for quite a while as well. It is probably trying to enumerate the mouse and keyboard. This can also take up to 10 seconds. During a cold boot this does not happen and B4 is completed instantly.
This issue is quite annoying, as I have to wait for quite a while before I can use my keyboard and mouse after I wakeup the PC. It beats the principle of instant-on, and sometimes it is faster to cold-boot the thing.
I tried both V1.7, V1.8 and V1.9B1 bioses.
When I disconnect one of the devices (only mouse, or only keyboard), the enumeration is usually quicker, but still takes up to 5 seconds.
Could this be a bug in the Sandybridge chipset (it is not stepping B3), or is it something in the BIOS? Are any others having this issue and found a solution?

I've red through the P67 errata about USB and all of them have the status "No Plan to Fix". As being quite familiar with the USB 2.0 specification (I've once written an USB driver for an embedded system myself) I do not see any issues mentioned that could be related to enumeration problems during cold boot or resume. This seriously doubts me that the B3 release will fix my issue.
I will also put this problem in MSI support, but knowing how they did reply in my other issue report about the mouse not working in my BIOS I'm not so sure if they will take it seriously....

Turbo multiplier MSI P67A-GD65

Dear users of the MSI forum. I hope this question hasn't been asked before, I did search but found nothing.
Is it possible to adjust the so called "Turbo Multiplier" on the MSI P67A-GD65 motherboard in combination with the i7 2600k processor? For example: lets just say I want the standard 3.4GHz - 3.8 GHz turbo boost set to, shall we say, 4.0GHz - 4.5Ghz? Is this possible on this board? I have only seen this feature on Gigabyte and Asus motherboards, unfortunately not with MSI.
If the MSI motherboard doesn't have this function, do you miss it?

This thread may be of assistance regarding that; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=146272.0

RADEON 7950 WONT BOOT WITH P67A-GD65

Just got a new ATI Radeon HD7950 graphics card a couple of days ago and it refuses to even boot in my main PC (Intel i7-2700K, MSI P67A-GD65).
Won't even get into BIOS. Just black screen.
Updated to latest BIOS. Still nothing.
Today I have tried the card in an older PC (Intel Q6600, ASUS Maximus Formula) and it works just fine.
So I thought it might have been a power supply issue so I swapped the power supply from old PC into my new PC, but it still didn't work.
So now I think its an incompatibility with the MSI P67A-GD65 motherboard.
Note: Previous graphics card was ATI Radeon 6870 which is still working fine with P67A-GD65.
Can anyone suggest why this graphics card won't boot with the P67A-GD65?

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 02-March-13, 06:16:55
What OS are you running? UEFI/BIOS version? CPU? Is this an MSI graphics card? If not, have you visited with the card manufacturer for any available information they may have?
Too much time passed for me to edit and delete this question of CPU, as you did list it.

P67A-GD65 new system bios setting recommendations and sata connections

Hey all,
My old dual core HTPC (after many hours of use) finally gave up the ghost and moved on to the great PC grave yard . I have ordered all the new upgrade parts from Newegg and am looking for recommendations on what bios settings and setup procedures I should use on the initial bootup and Windows load. I'm not looking to overclock I just want a fast stable system for video decoding and playback. It's my understanding from the manual that SATA 1-2 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and 7-8 are controlled by the Marvell chip but I am unsure of SATA 3-6. Can SATA 3-6 do raid 0? I want to use the Crucial SSD as my primary boot drive and the 2 WD drives on raid 0 as my secondary drive. SATA connection advice (which SATA ports) and Raid Bios setting would be helpful. Should I install the raid 0 drives after I have Windows 7 loaded on the SSD? Any other setup advice is appreciated.
Here is my setup.
Windows 7 64bit
Bach HTPC case
Ultra LSP 750Pro PSU
Intel i5-2500 3.3G CPU

Lite-on 12X Blu-Ray Burner SATA
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

Two questions answered. SATA 3-6 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and do support Raid 0 but I still wonder if I should wait to install the drives until Windows has finished it's install.

Msi p67a-gd65 mouse and keyboard freeze - blinking caps lock.

As the title says, my mouse and keyboard suddenly froze while I was chatting on Skype and I noticed that my system was still running. In fact, my razer mouse light was also blinking. The caps lock had a sort of sequential blink, although I'm not sure.
Anyway, I had to use the power button to shut down the system and everything seems normal again. Does anyone know what would cause this? Is it a software issue or due to my board?
I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate.

This was the first time this sort of thing has happened. I did have to replace (RMA) my PSU once before due to a random shut down issue but that was resolved. I'm really curious as to why this would happen and I'm hoping it's a software issue and not something related to the USB ports on the board.

Help with P67A-GD65

Hi everyone, just wanted some advise please, i have ordered the parts for my new gaming pc (This is my first build)
I have ordered the MSI P67A-GD65 motherboard and after doing some research i getting worried that my CPU cooler won't clear my ram.
I have the coolermaster V6GT CPU cooler and the G.Skill RipJawX 4GB DDR3 kit
I just wanted to know if anyone else has this board RAM and cooler ?
If not could i get some advise on wether i should change my CPU cooler to some thing like the Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom CPU Cooler ?
Or could i move my RAM into slots 2 and 4 ? would this work or would the system not boot properly ? (sorry first build )
Thanks to anyone that helps

Quote from: HU16E on 28-January-11, 06:46:30
Well, that's what I get for not doing the testing myself! The P67A-GD65 'does' boot with a stick in the dimm 2 black slot, & then with a second stick placed in the other black slot. However, the manual is specific about initial startup with a RAM stick in dimm 1, which is of course the first blue slot next to the CPU. Without starting from scratch again, I can't verify initial build startup with a stick in the dimm 2 black slot will work or not. I guess if someone tries it, & it fails, obvious move would be to go to the dimm 1 & give it a go. Trouble is, I can't go back & edit my posts now to correct them.
Ha, it's OK, I read the same thing in the manual. The manual certainly doesn't leave any room for assumption, it flat out states you should use 1 & 3.

MSI P67A-GD65 infinite boot/loop problem

installed everything into my case and go to boot into the UEFI and nothing !
i press the power switch, everything starts fine and the fans spin up and the LED's on the board are fine, waits 5 secs then it shuts itself off and tries the exact same process again. it keeps doing this until i cut the power !
i've checked the 24pin etc, KB & mouse r fine, 2 different sets off RAM in every slot, cleared CMOS (i think).
seems like a very common problem with this board after a bit of googling !!
also tried

this is the 1st time ive used it !
tried the OC genie button on and off.
been sitting in the box unused for about 1.5 months. doubt that means anything tho.
put the stock cooler on securely, and still the same problem !
now tho, it wont start for about 3 secs after i press the power button
and

disconnected all the SATA's bar 1, and still the problem :/!
all the standoffs etc r fitted correctly and iv re-connected the 8 pin cpu and 24 pin. 1 stick off RAM in the 1st slot also :/!
checked no molex connectors r touching the case metal either
any suggestions?

Help Configuring Raid 1 & Raid 5 on the P67A-GD65 (B3) motherboard

I just purchased the P67A-GD65 (B3) motherboard for a custom system and have a few questions in regards to setting up RAID.
I have the following HDs
2x 1TB
3x 3TB
I would like to setup RAID 1 with the two 1TB drivers and RADI 5 with the three 3TB drivers. I connected the two 1TB drives to ports 7&8 so it would be using the Marvell SE9128 and the three 3TB drives to ports 1, 2,3 to use the Intel P67 (B3) PCH. The documentation says that SATA ports 1-6 support RAID 0/1/5/10 and SATA port 7-8 support RAID 0/1.
The two 1TB in RAID 1 would be my boot drives (going to run VMWARE ESXi with multiple VMs) and the three 3TB RAID 5 drives are going to be my storage.
I was under the understanding that you could use both the Intel P67 (B3) PCH and the Marvell SE9128 at the same time but it looks like I can only configure one or the other. If I have neither of the two setup I can hit CTRL + I and get to Intel or CTRL + M to get to Marvell but when I set one of them up I can’t boot into the other to setup my second RAID.
At the end of the day I bought this system to run ESXi 5.0 with multiple VMs with a shared storage area. If I can’t utilize both controllers then what’s the point of having two on the motherboard? I made sure in the BIOS settings I enabled RAID for the HDs.
If anyone has configured their systems like this please let me know how.
NOTE: As others have mentioned if you put in all your memory at one time then the system will go into a continuous reboot state. You should only put in one and then the others. Right now I have two 4GB sticks in and will add the others once I figure out is going on with the RAID.

Please make sure that the memory frequency is manually set to DDR3-1333, the Command Rate to 2T and the memory voltage to 1.575V. Then retest with all modules.
I changed the frequency to DDR-1333 and Voltage but I don't know how to change the Command Rate or where it is located? Any help?
Also,
I'm still having problems getting the system to recognize the Marvell RAID config when I boot with the VMWare ESXi 5.0 CD and try to select where I want to install... When I go into the Marvell settings the system it shows that I have two dirves in RAID 1 Config:

PD 8: ST31000528AS -> PORT ID = 1; PD ID = 8; Type = SATA PD; Status = Configured; Size 953869MD; Feature Support = NCQ 3G 48Bits; Current Speed = 3G
under the HBA 0: Marvell 0 settings it says the following:

DEVICE ID: 91A3
REVISION ID: B1
BIOS VERSION: 1.0.0.1027
FIRMWARE VERSION: 2.1.2.1505
PCIe Speed Rate: 5.0Gbps
Configure SATA as: IDE Mode -> In the BIOS I have the settings to RAID
Not sure if it matters but here's how I have the Intel Raid setup...
RAID Volumes
ID = 0; NAME = Storage; LEVEL = RAID5(Parity); STRIP = 64KB; SIZE = 5.4TB; STATUS = Normal (it's in green); BOOTABLE = Yes
Physical Devices:
Port Device Mod Ser Size Type/Status(Vol ID)
0 Hitachi blah blah 2.7TB Member Disk (0)
1 Hitachi blah blah 2.7TB Member Disk (0)
2 Hitachi blah blah 2.7TB Member Disk (0)
Any Thoughts? I'm trying to boot from the two 1TB drivers setup in the Marvell Raid 1 Config and the Raid5 through the Intel for all my storage needs.
Thanks again for helping out.
