P67A-GD65 No BIOS/boot with DisplayPort

Hi,
Just replaced Asus P8P67 Deluxe with this board, as the Asus suffered from random power downs. Turns out, this board did exactly the same as I was typing this.
That problem aside (added more vcore), this board will not even boot into the BIOS (v1.8) with my Apple Cinema screen connected via the DisplayPort (XFX 5870). All I get is a blinking cursor before the MSI logo.
It boots fine using an older DVI monitor.
As soon as I get to the W7 login screen, if I connect the Apple screen, it works perfectly.
One would imagine its something to do with the DisplayPort driver and the graphical aspect of the BIOS.
Any suggestions?
Edit: already reset CMOS (tried about 5 times), to no avail. AX850 PSU with Corsair 1600 CAS8 16GB RAM.

P67A-GD65 does not boot with LSI 9240-8i HBA

Hi All,
When I installed my LSI 9240-8i I was able to boot to the ICH10 Raid as long as the Marvell Raid controller was disabled. Once I updated the LSI card to the latest version of the firmware I cant boot at all. I've cleared the CMOS, I've disabled everything in the BIOS (raid controllers, 1394, NIC, etc). All not no avail.
Thus Far I've tried:
-Booting to OS on the ICH10 RAID gets me into Windows 7 (x64): Resulted in the LSI controller showing, "This device could not start. (Code 10)" under Device Manager.
-Updating Firmware: Resulted in the mobo hanging on POST at code "92".
-Upating BIOS from 1.B to 1.C5 Beta: Resulted in mobo hanging on POST at code "92".
-When I move the card to my Dell Prescision workstation, the LSI RAID controller works like a charm!
Observations:
MSI P67A-GD65 BIOS v. 1.B
-LSI Firmware
20.10.1-0037 (APP-2.120.54-1235)   15-APR-11   - BROKEN
20.10.1-0029 (APP-2.120.24-1181)   - 04-MAR-11 - BROKEN
(Same as above, but I list it anyways)
MSI P67A-GD65 BIOS v. 1.C5

MSI PLEASE HELP!
I am running:
Mobo: MSI P67A-GD65 1.C5
CPU: I7 2600k
RAID: LSI 9240-8i
Thanks!

Looks to me that it is the LSI firmware issue as the card works fine until you updated its firmware.
Do card with the card's vendor.
Hi NovJoe,
Thats just it. It looks like its an MSI BIOS compatability issue all along. Before I upgrade the firmware, the card works in my Dell Precision Workstation, but does not work on the MSI mobo; shows Device could not start (Code 10) error. After I upgrade the Firmware, the MSI mobo will not POST, but the Dell still boots up with the card perfectly.
Its definitely NOT the card. If both the 9240 and 9260 cards work perfectly in other computers then there is something wrong with the MSI mobo or BIOS.
Please help.
Thanks!

P67a-GD65 won't boot with over 12 GB RAM

Hello all,
I am running the P67a-GD65 with i5 2500k, GTX 570, 1T HD and 60Gb SSD. I had 16 GB (4/4Gb) of Hyper x 1600 MHz RAM installed and it was working for a while. Then the computer shut off in the middle of a game. I realized the video card fan was not working and swapped it out. However, with the 4 (4gb) Ram installed it would start up for a few seconds (fans, lights running) then shuts off...the cycle continues but never stays on nor long enough to reach the BIOS setup. I removed one 4gb Ram and its up and running. I was able to play BF3 and I have had no issues. Is there any reason why this happens? is it a setting in BIos that I need to fix or do I just need to swap out the mobo? I know its not the RAM because I exchanged them earlier today along with the Video Card. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Any word on when an updated BIOS will be released to fix this issue?
No, you need to check this thread regularly https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=144655.700
At this point flash back to the BIOS that did work. Use the forum flasher >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
and report your findings to MSI so that they can fix it and potentially release the BIOS that you are hoping for If everyone reports their findings then the chances are so much better to get a fix sooner rather than later.

P67a-gd65 (b3) bios 1.E not supported under windows 7 x64

I currently get the message that the 1.E bios for the p67-gd65 isn't compatible with my current version of windows 7 (64 bit). Is that normal? I don't see it mentioned on the msi site

do this:

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 Lagging at Boot

I've been running this board for a few years now, never given me any problems except for the fact that my keyboard (a gaming one) wouldn't function properly prior to Windows loading, meaning I couldn't select an option with it during startup. Annoying, but it didn't seem to important. Eventually I discovered that later BIOS update added support for gaming keyboards and so I decided to update. I updated to version 1.19 and I also updated a number of my drivers. I then encountered a problem with my USB devices, which now appears to be resolved (in brief the computer claimed a phantom drive existed and that the device was not functioning properly) but I have now developed a problem at boot.
For as long as I have had it, when the board boots I get a screen with a blinking underscore in the top left and a two digit hexadecimal in the bottom right that changes, shortly afterwards it attempts to load from the Marvell SATA 3 ports (there's nothing plugged into them so it quickly moves on but I've often wondered if there's a way to stop it from checking in the first place) then it returns briefly to the underscore before displaying the MSI boot logo and booting Windows, all of this happening in about 5-10 seconds. Now however, it hangs at the underscore page, both times it visits, for about 30 seconds each time. The underscore doesn't blink, it's just constantly on and the number is static. This happens whether booting from cold or rebooting the system.
Does anyone know what might be causing this, or a way to fix it? Once booted the machine functions completely normally.
Specs:
MoBo: P67A GD65
Processor: i5 2500k @3.3GHz
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance
GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 560Ti
Booting Windows 7 from 120GB OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
Any help that can be offered would be much appreciated.

It was this: link. It was very cheap, bought primarily because it gave me front facing USB 3.0 ports (which are plugged into the motherboard USB 3.0 at the back). Unfortunately, while the booting issue now seems to be resolved the stability issue isn't, I got the exact same BSOD five minutes ago. I'm assuming this has all started because I updated my BIOS to make it support my keyboard. Should I try reinstalling the BIOS? Or install an earlier version? What about the drivers listed on the MSI page (Intel Management Engine Driver, Intel Chipset Driver, et al.)? I updated those when I updated my BIOS, I thought correctly but I could be wrong, what's the right way for me to check them?
Currently the times when it has crashed have been when I close Firefox pages (often Youtube) and when I play Minecraft. The crashes are always sporadic and unpredictable, sometimes everything is fine, and then it suddenly goes. A part of me wonders if it has something to do with an important file being stored on my secondary data hard drive which seems to try and spin up just before it crashes, but I'm not sure how I would go about checking for that problem, if it could even be the cause.

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

[P67A-GD65] Impossible to boot ?

Hello !
Well i got a problem with my new config, here the config :
MSI P67A-GD65 Rev B3
Corsair HX650w
Intel I5 - 2500K
Alpenfohn Matterhorn
Gigabyte GTX570 Windforce OC
Case Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced
HDD Seagate Barracuda 7200 rpm - 1 To
G.SKILL [ SNIPER ] F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR (4Gbx2)
I plugged everything correctly. When i start the system, i haven't got any signal from screen, it stays powered 4-5 secs (every fans from cases - GPU - CPU are turning) then it shutdown.. Then after some seconds, it restart while 4-5 secs then it continues to shutdown, etc... I saw that a blue led was twinkling fastly from motherboard.. then after 2-3rd restart, the blue led was static. Manual indicates that Bios loading has failed. Before i got that new motherboard, i bought an ASUS P8P67 EVO but this card died (some Pins from CPU socket were bent, it smells burn.. ) so i bought that new Motherboard.. My old card was running correctly, i installed Windows7 + drivers, SWTOR, Battlefield 3, League of legends...
On P67A-GD65, 8 Cpu leds are all blue when i launch my pc. So i don't think CPU is dead..
Please, could you help me ? It would be very nice
Thanks

Quote from: HU16E on 14-February-12, 22:11:48
If the blue LED is solid & not blinking anymore, it indicates both BIOS's have failed, & very good chance the mainboard is bricked. Try with removing the PSU power cord, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS & try again. Have only a single RAM stick installed in the blue primary dimm slot. Good luck!
If no success, time to RMA.
Thank you HU16E for your answer.
I forgot to say that last week, i bought my first P67A-GD65 since my P8P67 EVO died.. I got the same problem as now with that card !! Bios loading failure.. so i went back to the shop and got a 2nd P67A-GD65 ! To have again the same problem.. How 2 motherboards could have a software problem like that ?
I'll try your method after work, hope it will works
I'll post back here after results

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.

P67A-GD65 will not boot after OC Genie

Built my initial system in early September.
Rosewill Challenger-U3 ATX Mid Tower
Intel I5-2500k
Crucial M4 256GB
8GB (2x4G) G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W power supply
Velociraptor 160GB Drive
DVD burner
Nvidia GTX 285
System was running fine. Added 2 more sticks of memory and replaced the GTX 285 with a EVGA SuperClocked GTX570. Had no problems for a week.
Last night I powered down the system, hit the OC Genie button (just because you can, doesn't mean you should .) When I started up the system, the fan on the GPU went and stayed full bore, nothing was displayed. Also, no power to the keyboard or USB mouse. The DVD drive had a disk in it and that started up. I got one long beep and two short beeps. I powered down, pressed the OC Genie button again and started it back up with the same results. I tried swapping the old GTX 285 back in but got the same results. I switched the slot of the GPU and it didn't help. I also tried removing two of the memory sticks, unplugging all USB devices, etc. The CPU, case, power supply and GPU fans are spinning. Any advice on how I should proceed?

Did you do a clear cmos?

MSI p67a-gd53 (b3) Wont boot with ram in slot 1 and 3, or 2 and 4.

Hi i recently built my own system, with just one ram stick in it boots fine and everything.
When i try to put the other stick in slot for so that in runs dual channel it just wont boot, it turns on starts the fans up and then just goes off, and repeats this.
The ram i have is Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit.
It also doesnt work in slots 2 and 4, can anyone help me :(?
My setup is :
OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
MSI P67A-GD53 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
MSI ATI Radeon HD 6870 OC HAWK 1024MB
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB
Seagate Barracuda 500gb HD
Gets no beeps on boot with just one stick in, im really confused :s
All Help will be appreciated.

Both ram sticks worked in slot one and it would boot but I tried running a game and it froze each occasion, cud this be due to the ram being dual channel and only having one in? Or that the ram has the wrong settings.
I have returned the motherboard along with the ram to the shop i got it from for tests to see if the dimm slots had problems. Il let you guys know what they say.
Thanks for the advice, when I get it back il build it again and see if it runs fine, if not il try the things youve said.
Can anyone else shed any light on this? Any other things I may have to try?
Thx again

New P67A-GD65 do not boot

Hi.
I have just finished to install my new P67A-GD65 and it does not work.
I do not have the post screen, the screen stay black. But i got bips.
Bips are not clear, i think it's 4 shot, 1 long or something like that.
I had try to clear cmos, disconnect all non critical things, but nothing changed.
Anyone have the bips signification list ?
Thanks.

Sorry, the thing i'd ask for is the bips documentation.
Here it'is my full configuration.
# CPU : Intel i5 2500k
# Motherboard model : P67A-GD65 (MS-7681 Ver:2.0) Bios 1.4 (seen on the ships)
# Memory : 2x2Go Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600M (only one plug for testing)
# Video card : Saphire, ATI Radeon 5770 Vapor-x.
# Hard drive(s) brand : Western digital caviar black 500Go.
# No Operating system.
# Power Supply : Corsair HX - 650W
The hard drive, the power supply and the vidéo card are from an other computer, so i'am sure they work.
I have tried an other video card (an old ATI 1950). No change.
All power cables are pluged. Phases led (3 first) are on, the fourst blink.
And, as i sed before, no post screen, and 4 short bip and a long or 5 short... seems to have a little pause between the last bip and the others.

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.

P55-GD65 won't boot with OC Genie activated

I have an P55-GD65 mobo that runs just fine with no problems except when I tried to activate the OC Genie. When I pressed the button and then tried to boot the machine -- it would begin the boot process then reboot over and over again without actually completing the boot process. When I pressed the OC Genie button again to deactivate it -- the machine booted just fine.
I've got Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed.
What is my problem and how do I fix it so the OC Genie works?
Thanks,
Crockett

What is your current BIOS Version?

What memory frequency, timings and Comman Rate does the BIOS set when everything is set to default (check with CPU-Z)?
The BIOS has a tendency to automatically set the Command Rate to 1T instead of 2T which causes stability problems in many cases.
Quote
If the RAM is running at 1600MHz the OC Genie won't work properly.
There is a flip site to this kind of observation: The CPU does not natively support DDR3-1600 and most modules sold as DDR3-1600 are actually just factory overclocked DDR3-1333 modules that require higher than standard voltages settings to have a chance to run stable. This in itself already is an inherently tricky situation that does not get better when you enable the OC Genie.

and why isn't my bios being updated when i didnt update it ever since i bought it in 2011.

That is a triple channel kit of three sticks made for X58/socket 1366 systems and not for a 1155 system. Three sticks could stress the mem controler too much and result in it not running the sticks at the timings/speed they are meant for. Try just two of those and see if that helps. If so try relaxing timings and/or change to ddr3-1333 for trying three.

What? Are you asking about a missing update offered or what do you mean?
