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?

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 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

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.

P67A-GD65 BIOS Recovery/Reflash...is it even possible?

Had a weird issue take out my P67A-GD65 last week so I replaced it with a Z77A-GD65. However, I'd like to see if it's possible to recover/reflash the corrupted BIOS on the dead board before I break the board up and make keychain fobs from the shiny bits.
Background:
BIOS flash process went fine. Seemingly so, anyway. After rebooting, however, it's stuck in a loop and never makes it to the POST/BIOS screen. It powers on for about 4-5 seconds, then off, then back on, then off again, repeat Ad nauseam

If and when a UEFI/BIOS flash is required, use the forum's USB method;
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
In the BIOS Section of the forum, you will find Beta's along with some full releases for some mainboards in the Beta threads.
If you do not intend to install an Ivy CPU, it is strongly recommended to only install Sandy UEFI/BIOS's.
If lucky, remove the PSU power cord, remove all but one RAM stick that is placed in the primary DIMM slot, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS, hope it will POST and/or boot. If it won't, a pc shop with an SPI flash programming device can restore it for you. Otherwise, an MSI Service Center can do it.
Thanks for the information. I'm betting it's likely bricked permanently, so I'll probably just toss it.

30 secondes black screen when booting in P67A-GD65 ?

Hello.
When i turn on my computer that has a P67A-GD65 with a 2600k it cpu and the 1.J bios,
i immediatly have a black screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left and in the bottom right, i have codes like B4 then another one 9something and then 92
this last for more than 30 secondes and then the pc boots ok.
Do you know what is the problem and how to fix it ?
Thank you

Kind of hard to troubleshoot when all we know is the mainboard, CPU, and UEFI/BIOS is in the system. Could be a USB device or a RAM problem. Was this a working system at any time? OS loaded in IDE or AHCI Mode?

OP : Windows 7 Home Premium 64bits
So here's my problem.
I've bought this Computer about two week ago, assembled it myself, for the first week i had no problem at all. After that the computer would sometimes, pretty often, crash and restart on it's on. When windows would be open again i would get a message telling me that it was a bluescreen, i was never able to go and look at the minidump cause each time my computer would crash again before i could reach it.
I updated all the driver i could, did as much Windows update i could, the problem persist. Seeing as i even formated and reinstalled windows i think i can say that's not the problem.
Now, i'm at the point where i can't even do anything cause the last time it crashed i lost my screen, it's all black. I can see from the MOBO that all the light for the CPU are On and i can hear the fan, but nothing else seems to happen, i tried to plug-in my speaker so that i could hear the Windows Sound when it's done loading, but nothing.
Now i'm wandering about the next step ? How do i confirm which of my component is the problem ?
Thanks for the help.
What i was doing while it crashed ? Nothing, just browsing.

Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately i don't have another Computer to test with, i've got to use a friend's laptop to post here.
Quote
When in the OS, uncheck Automatically Restart in the Settings of Startup & Recovery. Then the BSOD will remain visible long enough to get the Stop: error code.
Well i can't reach the OS. If i'm ever able to reach it though i will do it. Is this something that i show Always do, unchecking the Automatic Restart and never checking it again ?
Quote
Clear CMOS and test with just 1 piece of RAM. Run it for a week to see if there is any issues.
Will try this.
Quote
In that message box, there is a button that allows you to expand the dialog to see the detail. That contains the BSOD code.
Yeah i already knew about this, problem is whenever i would expand the window it seemed to me that the Computer would restart faster, not giving me enough time to save that code.
Thanks again everyone.
Strange that you're suspecting the PSU, my 12v Rail should be strong enough, my first guess would have been the MOBO since i crashed in bios.

Blank Screen and flashing cursor on new build-P67A GD65 (B3). Help needed.

As per the title, a computer was built for me with the following specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500k
Cpu Cooler: Arctic Freezer xtreme Rev 2.0,
Motherboard: MSI P67A – GD65 (B3)
PSU: Super-Flower Amazon 550W
RAM: 4GB G.Skill RipJaws-X, DDR3, 1600
HDD: 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 7200rpm
Graphics Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5850 Xtreme - 1 GB GDDR5
Disc Drive: Samsung SH-223C DVD+RW
Case: Cooler Master 690 II LITE Midi-Tower
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Everything went ok with the build and installation of the OS. Computer was booting ok. When I took the computer home that evening, powered it on and a blank screen with a flashing cursor on top left hand corner appeared. Tried several times but failed to boot up properly. Just to note that I can enter into the BIOS and it recognizes HDD, processor, Disk Drive and RAM. What I have done so far (of course with advice from computer experts as compared to me) are the following:
1. I removed all the parts except cpu and cooler then put them back. When I restarted a message appeared that win7 need to do a repair. It went thro the process and then it stated it can’t do repair. Did this twice. When I restarted the third time, a blank screen with the blinking cursor appeared again.
2. Cleared the BIOS using the button on the outside of the motherboard and also once using the jumpers inside the motherboard. After doing this, I pressed on the “”ON” button several times (with no power on to the computer) to dissipate any current that was left there.
3. Interchanged the RAM on different slots. Also tried using only 1 stick of Ram at a time.
4. Checked the HDD on another machine and it was ok. Formatted the HDD on the other machine, plugged onto new machine and tried to install OS again but no joy.
At this point, I’m now stuck after almost a month when the machine was built. Would it be the motherboard? RAM? etc. Just wondering if I should RMA the motherboard since it is just over a month when it was delivered.
A point to note, there is a message that comes up when it is booting stating no HDD is detected. I googled this but found out it was to do with a marvel adapter that needs to be disabled or something like that. However, it was mentioned that this wasn’t going to affect the performance of the pc as the BIOS can detect all the components.
I also noticed that when I switch on the pc, there is a small pause before it kicks on then there is a long beep followed by 2 small beeps. I presume this is normal.
Any help on this will be highly appreciated?

Disable EuP 2013 & that should take care of the pause. The beeps are normal at startup. Only time I have observed a blank screen & blinking cursor is if the system wasn't getting enough juice to initialize, or their was insufficient power in an OC attempt. What kind of +12V amps does that PSU you have provide?

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.

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

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.

I've checked the beep code list, but can't figure out what the issue is. Here's a video of the problem I'm having:
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.

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.

Post and boot P67A GD65 B3

I have a new build and when I reboot or cold boot the power phase lights (to phase 5) come on for a brief second,and then it powers off and then it will boot fine. Is this normal? It does this every-time.

It was all working reasonably fine but I had notice it getting abit noisier so thought it was time for a bit of a clean to remove dust from fans, heatsinks etc. which it drastcially needed.
Anyhow, put it back together and now it turns on and off on start up at a period of about 5 seconds. (It has done this about 11 time before I unplugged it) Checked connections but everything SEEMS fine there. Unsure what it could be and could do to get it back up ASAP.
All was working fine prior and upto cleaning (which was today).
Also I currently have no computers to test bits on but I have done a Bare bones test with no look.
I am secrectly hoping one of can tell me its the heastink as I do have another of those (in fact a better one which I should really put on) but I somehow doubt it would be the issue.
Anyhow I hope this is enough information but I will promptly reply as soon as I can if you need to know anything else.
Thanks,

If it does not POST should it go I still get some output to the screen? I remember many years ago I could get to the BIOS but not boot with no RAM in. Should this happen with this board? All I would like to do is eliminate as many components as possible.
I am not sure sucessfully POST ing is necessarily important in this instance as the issue is (to me)a little odd. Even if it does not POST should it stay on for more than a second and secondly if it does turn off should it stay off and turn on and off ad infinitum? Just to not I am not using the case power switch just in case this had for whatever reason got jammed (this has happened on a computer I had to fix once (I am not a professional but often get roped in to "can you just have a quick look at..."))
Once again a huge thanks for the continued support on this, I have had far more useful advice/questions asked so far from you than I have from MSI themselves and actually had responses unlike my retailer (I will have ot try call them tommorow).

P67A-GD65 Hard Lockups

I recently built a Sandy Bridge system and I am having random sudden hard locks. I will be browsing the net or playing a game and then...everything freezes up suddenly and I cannot do anything, like I'm stuck in a screen shot. I am forced to manually hit the restart button. Sometimes it will happen twice in an hour and sometimes it wont happen for a day. I have updated BIOS to v1.7, turned on and off turbo mode, manually slightly increased my vcore, increased base clock to 101 (MHz), turned on and off power saving settings, tried sata 6 and sata 3 ports, ran MemTest, newest drivers from MSI site. Also from day 1 the OC genie never worked, whenever I would try it it would freeze up at the windows loading screen. I have been able to overclock manually and get it up to 4.7GHz and then got a blue screen while running 3dMark, but that was just for a short time while testing and have since reverted back to stock speeds and it still randomly hard locks. My temps are always fine 32-50 C. This is basically a core upgrade with some reused parts from last setup (which was rock solid always).

Anyone have any ideas about how I could isolate what exactly the issue is? Bad mobo maybe? The lack of a stable system is really killing me. Making this post from my laptop

I am having the same problems as you. Have not done all those tests that you have done tho. I have not overclocked or changed anything, its all default settings for me. I still run the default BIOS version. Was thinking of updating now but it seems like MSI has removed the v1.7 update.
Normally it happens like this. Im in a game and suddenly all gets frozen. Then I am disconnected from the game server (I run online games) and then the game hangs. Still I can alt-tab in to windows. Then I try to open task manager to see whats going on but it never shows... computer starts running slowly. Mouse and keyboard input work for 4 seconds at a time, and then stops working for 4 seconds, then works for 4 seconds... after a while the computer comes to a complete halt.
I have run chkdsk on my disks. I have checked all temperatures, all ok. I have a Corsair 850W which gives power to my:

MSI's own Control Center hard crashes my comp (P67A-GD65)

So I just got a P67A-GD65 B3 board, with an i5-2500K and I got it all set up and put together. The thing runs great, quiet, cool, etc. I'm currently at stock speeds and settings. However, I did NOT use the MSI CD to install drivers. Instead, I used the website so I had the latest versions of all these drivers. Anyways, I installed pretty much everything but the TPM Modules and RAID tools.
So, when I pull up the Control Center, the main screen displays fine. However, as soon as I click the Cooling tab to check temperatures, the computer locks up hard and the sound emits a strange audible buzz through the speakers. I have no clue why this is happening, and furthermore, I'm disappointed this is happening on a very stock build. I literally installed the components, installed Win7 x64, installed the drivers, then tried to check the temps. That's it.
I have successfully used SpeedFan to check my temps, so I know it's not some issue with probing the sensors. Does anyone else have this problem, or know of a solution? I think it's kind of silly that MSI's own control center for their mobo's crashes the computer.

Seriously, this is kind of ridiculous. MSI needs to get their stuff straight. Others are having this same problem.
I trust you did report this to MSI technical as per earlier responses in this post. Posting opinions out of frustration does not add value, nor does it assist in fixing the problem. This forum's prime objective is to gather factual information in an attempt to anlayse the problem and then employ the user community to post potential solutions. >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
If others are having the same problem, then they also need to report this to MSI technical, being as comprehensive as possible. As I mentioned before, it seems a 64bit OS symptom.
