P67A GD65 not getting to POST

Hi all,
Please help!
Recently installed 2 SSD drives and was told a BIOS update was required.
Ran the bios flash via live update 5 and now I cannot get to post.
The MB starts up then shuts down this happens continuously until I switch off via the psu.
What options do I have please?
I have cleared CMOS etc.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Tom

Recommend to revert back to 1.E. Use the forum USB Flash Tool found here; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
Also, please report your experience to MSI Tech Support, as several have posted problems with that particular UEFI/BIOS; http://support.msi.com
Thank you!! Worked a treat.
Little peeved about this though, but glad I am back up and back to work.
Thanks again, very much appreciated

  • 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?
    Edit: Tried clearing the CMOS as well but no luck
    Sound @ post:
    Memo.m4a - 0.11MB
    Specs:
    MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) Motherboard
    Intel Core i7-2600K processor
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) ram

    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 Sometimes gets into a Reboot Cycle

    Hi All,
    This is a strange one for me, so I thought I'd check the forums for some alternate views. I've recently purchased an almost complete new system (see below), and the system performs fantastic (CPU temp from 23c to 46c). However, sometimes the system will simply refuse to boot. The power light will come on for around 1.5 seconds and then power down again, then around 5 seconds latter it will repeat.
    To resolve this, I have to completely reseat the RAM, which appears to trick the BIOS into thinking the memory configuration has been changed. Then the system will boot and I'm back in business for a few days. I have a suspicion this is related to memory compatibility, but I'm open to ideas. The problem appears (so far) to only occur when I've been running the system with XMP memory profile enabled in the BIOS. But the memory passes all the BIOS checks, and runs my games flawlessly, the problem only ever occurs at power up when the system has been left off for a while. The memory is reasonably high grade RAM, and I've applied all the recent BIOS updates (to 1.A), but this hasn't resolved it.
    Any ideas?

    Here is something to test.
    Note the settings of your RAM in the BIOS when you use the XMP enabled function.
    Then disable XMP and set the memory manually to the same values as it was with XMP. Save and restart. See if it behaves the same.
    Also open a ticket with MSI so that they can investigate this. >>How to contact MSI.<<

  • K8T Neo FIS2R not getting through POST

    I hope some of you might be able to help me.  I just finished building a new system using the K8T Neo FIS2R motherboard.  I actually had everything working with XP installed, but this morning, I have not booted once.  It's not clearing POST anymore.  
    I get a long beep followed by 8 short beeps.  According to the BIOS beep codes I've seen in other posts, that has something to do with the BIOS checksum error.  I did upgrade the BIOS to 1.7 from an MSI Live Update download.
    I'm basically stuck, is the mobo dead?

    This does not bode well for my current situation, or yours.  I have to believe that there are many people out there that have a successful 1.7 BIOS running.
    But I'm beginning to lead in this direction now, especially since your description is close to mine.  I was able to run in v1.7 for a short time, then it just died.
    Also, I don't know if this helps, but after my beep codes, I assume the POST continues, because about 15 seconds later there is 2 short beep following by 1 long beep and the D-bracket is has green all around minus number 4 which is read.  Assume blue=green here :
    This is "Testing RTC (Real Time Clock)".  At this stage it just stops.
    I am assuming that I can flash my BIOS using the cntrl-home method, however, if that fails, are we looking at RMA here...   And if so, what are peoples experiences with RMA'ing with an online dealer?  How much proof will I need to go through?
    Also, by the way, these forums are awesome... The data here has been great.  It's nice to see such a great forum that has valuable information.
    Thanks to everyone for the help so far.

  • P67A-GD65: Possible to halt post screen?

    On previous motherboards I have used, it has been possible to halt the post screen one way or another using a bios setting "halt on..." (or something similar)
    Which if the parameter was met, it would halt the post screen and require a key press (usually F1) to continue on to Windows.
    Does this option exist somewhere with this board?

    Quote from: Jack on 16-March-11, 05:16:58
    Try the PAUSE key.
    Thanks Jack, I'll try that.  Although I am looking for a static config that will always halt without my input because I am not always within keyboard reach.  Do you know if this option exists in bios, or elsewhere?

  • P67A-GD65[B3] Won't post

    I get about 30 seconds of fans and power supply -- APS 1 LED lights, followed in 20 seconds by all six lighting and then the system shuts down.  None of the BIOS LEDs illuminate.  The power supply should be more than adequate Seasonic SS-850HT 850W.  CPU is i7-2600K.  Assistance appreciated

    Please supply full system specs. >>Posting Guide<<

    When experiencing problems, never exclude any component as being faulty. DOAs do occur.  
    You probably need to remove your MB from the case and place it on a non conducting surface, i.e. piece of wood or unprinted carton/cardboard.
    Then test with only one RAM module and one HDD. bare minimum.

  • BIOS 4.3 half flashed on MSI P67A-GD65 reboot loop ME not installed

    Hi, yesterday I tried to flash my bios from 1.19 (1.jo) to 4.3 and I followed the SOP guidelines. Made a flash fat32 got bios on it, started it, stopped all my applications under windows and it went with no error. PC Restarted and now it's in infinite reboot loop. The moment the MSI BIOS logo appears, the PC auto reboots.
    If I remove the usb drive or replace the bios file with another version it tells me it's not the file it needs. When I insert the one with the .43 file it goes back to reboot cycle. I tried resetting the CMOS with the button on the mainboard and I have this screen telling me BIOS is 4.3 and it has recognized all my 12gb ram, 2 hard drives and processor. Then it has press F1 to enter setup and press F2 to continue, both options result in reboot.
    I tried the 1.JO on flash, but it tells me again that it's the wrong file. Tried renaming it to amiboot as I found somewhere, but to no avail. Tried renaming the .43 to EIVB.bin as it was suggested in one forum, again no luck.

    older non B3 versions ME can't be flashed,
    therefor you will brick it if you attempt to do it via MSI's all in one updater..
    you can try anyway to try with barabone setup with 1 memory stick only and disconnect everything that's not required to boot
    and to try the USB key in any of the other USB ports
    and/or with different USB key too
    to see if ME update will able to continue
    I wasn't sure about the ME update, read that someone managed. The Live Update 6 did my 1.19 (1.JO) update. I tried all usb slots and 3 different sticks, formated them and so on. Nothing worked. I tried disconnecting all hard drives and DVD drive too.
    Is there a way to stop this cycle or to restore to the 1.19 version?

  • 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

    Thanks!

    Quote from: NovJoe on 23-May-11, 10:16:19
    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 (B3) memory not working properly (XMP)

    Hi, I have a P67A-GD65 (B3) motherboard that I recently purchased, along with GSKILL F3-12800Cl7-2GBXm ram that is advertised as CL7-8-7-24.
    I cannot get the system to post using XMP or custom timings using the 7-8-7-24 timings. I went on the GSKILL forum to find out that it is an issue related to BIOS firmware on the motherboard end of the spectrum. Even after updating to the newest BIOS the problem still persists. When I am running the ram on auto mode in the bios, instead of running at CL7-8-7-24 the bios ends up bumping me up to higher latencies of CL9-10-10-29....
    Is there any plans for a future BIOS update to address this problem? I would really like to know.....
    thanks
    Here is a pic showing the XMP spd profile:
    As you can see I can get the frequency up to 1866Mhz.. but I cant get the lower the timings even at 1600MHz...

    Thanks for clearing things up guys
    Your welcome. A lot of misconception is out & about. Here's another example. You were not alone. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=147512.0 Reply #2 & Reply #4.
    It can be fun though with some trial & error to squeeze a little bit extra out of components, but sometimes the minimal gain 'just isn't worth it'. This is diving into OC'ing, which this section of the forum is not appropriate, however, as long as you don't exceed 1.65v's on the DRAM V., I think you can safely do some experimenting, but 1333 is a good stable native RAM speed on this platform.

    I doubt seriously that dilburt was questioning your pc building prowess. Many suggestions are given generic as the build skills & knowledge of many posters is not known. Your other comments are non productive. Presume the I/O plate is not causing a problem, & has the port itself been closely examined for any damage?  
    No I wasn't questioning or accusing him of questioning my ability... merely that I know what I'm doing. Much of the advice has been responses suggesting things I already mentioned in my first post.
    I will try the rear I/O panel and reset that as well.

  • P67A-GD65 (B3) will not boot with external USB DVD connected.

    Damnedest thing... just put the build together last night and this was the biggest issue. If I connect my external Samsung USB DVD RW the system stops booting and only displays (B3) in the bottom right corner of my display. If I remove the USB plug the system boots and operates normally. If I connect it to the USB port after boot the system recognizes it and it works fine. The same issue occurs no matter which USB2/3 port I plug it into. I've banged around the BIOS and cannot see any issues in the boot sequence that would indicate an issue. Anyone else in das same boot?

    Quote from: cadhopper on 24-March-11, 07:19:08
    I just came to the forum for the same reason. I'm glad you had a thread already going. Mine is a Seagate 1.5T USB 2.0 hard drive and the screen reads 98 in the lower right corner. Hopefully MSI will get this fixed soon. Other than that the new system is running great.
    They are working on it. They sent me a BETA BIOS to try out. The BIOS v1.10B3 was dated 3-17-2011 and it nearly bricked my system though.  Here is the response I sent to them the other night after a few hours with a massive headache trying to bring my system back up:
    Quote
    Tried the new BIOS. While it did indeed fix the USB DVD boot issue and let me boot into windows it created a few new issues. After flashing the new BIOS would not recognize my old overclocking profiles from the v1.8 BIOS.. "hole" error. So I manually adjusted all the settings and saved the new settings. I copied them EXACTLY from my previous settings.. I had screenshots which I had printed out as a fool-proof guide. After rebooting I could no longer get into windows. BSOD. If I tried entering the BIOS by tapping the DEL button while booting the system would freeze at the "entering setup...." screen and never progress into the actual BIOS. I unplugged the power, waited a few minutes and held the clear CMOS button on the back panel down for a few seconds. After rebooting I no longer had video output. After much trial and error I ended up having to also unplug my LCD and cycle power on it as well to get video back. But could still bot get into the BIOS by tapping the DEL key during boot. Luckily I have a laptop with all the files on it and I was able to finally re-flash back to the v1.8 BIOS from a USB drive. I'm not sure what exactly you changed.. but I don't think this new BIOS version should leave BETA status.
    To their credit they promptly responded the next AM:
    Quote
    There were some changes to the CPU voltage, so your overclock settings may not work properly. We are still working on a 1.A release version. It will be updated to our website soon. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD65--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
    I only wish they had informed me of the changes to the CPU voltage up front or included a change log so I could have made an informed decision as to whether or not I wanted to try the BETA BIOS. I was under the impression (mistakenly) that it simply addressed the USB DVD issue. I'll wait for the new release BIOS. I can live without the external USB DVD being plugged in at boot. Bricking my MOBO and having to RMA would be a far less desirable outcome. :p That said.. I'd still recommend this MOBO. It has relatively few issues and MSI support is responsive so far.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • "BIOS ME update....file not found " since a P67A-GD65 bios update failed

    Hi everyone,
    I've decided to post this little message after looking for a solution over the web and over the MSI forum because I've got a problem since the BIOS update of my P67A-GD65 MB.
    I've followed the update process for the 4.32 BIOS using an USB key, the update started but did not continue after reboot, and since My PC is out of order
    The "BIOS ME update....file not found " message is displayed after lots of booting tries, using plenty of methods.
    I've looked and tried all the techniques I could find over the web, I've tried :
    -PC with and without SATA drives connected
    -the last 4 versions of the bios found on-line, even the original version of my MB before updating (1.19)
    -4 different usb keys (from 128 Mb to 4 GB)
    -all front and back usb ports
    Each time, on each usb key, there were several bios versions, even one renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM for testing the recovery method.
    I've also tried to make the keys bootable by using the “MSIHQ USB Bootable” tool with the 1.19 bios (after the boot fix), the usb key appears in the F11 boot menu but when I select it, the PC boots but still shows me the "BIOS ME update....file not found " message.
    I've also tried a clear CMOS with several power off.
    I've also tried to burn a CD containing only a AMIBOOT.ROM file, and to boot on it, but same problem occurs.
    In brief, it seems that my PC does not recognize my Key's content, whatever it is.
    I've you got an idea to help me ?
    Last precision, the update process that failed was using the 4.3 bios version, but my CPU is a not an IvyBridge .
    thanks for your help

    HI
    I've tried  with your file , that's better but not solved
    the "BIOS ME update....file not found" has gone but my bios is still inacessible.
    I put the usb key (with the decompressed file) and the PC starts, displays the MSI boot logo, and then shows a message for hitting F1 or F2 bla bla bla...
    Whatever the key that has been hit (F1 or F2, and only the first time), the pc boots again and again after displaying the boot logo, followed by a 30 seconds black screen.
    If I remove the key, I've got a message that says I have to put a key on an usb port, and when I put back the usb key , the PC starts to boot again and again.
    Once again , I'm stuck. 
    thanks for your help

    As you can see in the video, it boots for 1 second then restarts. Then produces that beep code.
    I have no idea what the first "boop boop beep" means, and I'm getting mixed signals on what the 5 beeps mean.
    1 module of the RAM is seated properly. There's nothing plugged into the back I/O panel. There's no GPU attached. There's no SATA devices attached. I've reseated the CPU and checked for bent pins. Cleared CMOS. I'm running out of ideas.

    ORIGINAL POSTER'S SITUATION REPORT
    I reattached GPU and that changed the game a bit:
    System no longer restarts 1 second after powerup.
    5 beeps are gone.
    That first "boop boop beep" sequence as shown in the video remains.
    Still no video signal. I'm attached using miniHDMI to HDMI.
