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.

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?

Random lock ups with MSI P67A-GD65 (B3). Please help!

Hello all,
I just built a new system with the following components:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Thermaltake Black Widow W0319RU 850W ATX 12V PSU
Antec Lanboy air case
2X Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB in RAID0 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
This was supposed to be my dream computer, but it has turned into a nightmare! It locks up constantly. Usually the mouse pointer will disappear and the computer will just freeze up. This normally seems to occur after the computer has been idle for a while. I have read that there might be compatibility issues with the MSI P67A-GD65 and the GTX 570 video cards. Can anyone confirm this? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? The only thing event viewer is showing is the unexpected shutdown when I have to power cycle it. Thanks in advance!

That can happen, & it can really mess things up if two kits are attempted to be run together. The platform is DDR3 1333 as to native support by the CPU IMC. If the system can't run on 1333 RAM speed at CR 1, 9 9 9 24 @ 1.50v's, then something is wrong. No system should ever have to use an OC (or X.M.P.) as a workaround to make it work. That's why I recommended the Crucial 1333. Plug one stick in the blue primary dimm slot to get everything loaded & checked out, & go from there.
Exactly which SATA ports are you using for the HDD's & RAID? White Marvell or Intel SATA III, or the black SATA II?
Unfortunately, my local shop didn't have the Crucial, so I grabbed the Corsair instead. The Velociraptors are running from SATA 1 and 2 (the top white connectors). I also have 2X HITACHI Deskstar 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s running in RAID0 from SATA 3 and 4 for storage (this computer is intended for HD video editing, compositing in After Effects, etc.). Sorry I forgot to mention that in the original post!

HELP! My 2011 MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) build suddenly refuses to boot

Hello, I am new to this forum because I hadn't had any troubles yet.
I built my system in July/August 2011. Here's what it has:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge CPU
16GB Corsair Vengeance 240-pin DDR3 1600
650w Corsair Enthusiast PSU
MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1GD5/OC GeForce Graphics Card
1x 2TB Hitachi 7K3000 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s (With Windows 7 64-bit installed)
2x 3TB Seagate 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s (For storage)
I have used this computer for graphics and video editing...it has served me faithfully. Yesterday evening while editing a Word document, I got "do you want to save your changes before exiting?" and of course I said yes. Then to my surprise my computer proceeded to shut down and reboot. At first I thought maybe I missed a Windows Update message telling me it would reboot in xxx minutes so I was not alarmed. But then as I watched it reboot, it gave me the POST message that there was no disc drive recognized. I thought that was weird since I never noticed it before. But then after the BIOS screen with the MSI graphics thing I was faced with a blank screen except for a flashing cursor two inches from the top of the screen. When I realized that this wasn't going to leave, I got a bit worried so I did a reset through my tower's button and same thing happened...I unplugged everything and let it sit for a few minutes... restarted 10 minutes later....same thing. Did it again and then went into my BIOS to look around. It showed no HDD's connected and I had 3 hooked up. I was concerned my HDD went bad so I connected it to another pc and accessed it with no trouble as another storage...I was happy my files are all there. So then I reconnected to my original build and got the same POST message, but this time the drives were visible in BIOS....but still no boot.
I have another blank SATA HDD so I removed all my HDD's and connected it by itself along with my SATA DVD drive and I tried to do a clean Win7 install on it. But at the point in the install process where it asks WHERE you want to install Windows, no drives showed up. So that door was closed. I tried the same thing again after swapping SATA port locations, thinking 1 was defective, but I got the same treatment from all of them...nothing recognized during the install process, although the drives are showing up in BIOS....
I think I know why the POST message is saying 'no drives detected,' though...I read it is saying that based on the SATA ports being used...I have 8 SATA's on my MOBO...4 6gb/s; 4 3gb/s. 7-8 are 6gb/s and ONLY when I have a HDD plugged into one of them does it show on the POST screen...which I still think is weird, and seems to have just started happening last night with the rest of the problems...but I could live with that since I could disable the message in BIOS I think.
But I have tried to clear the CMOS...all three ways...jumper, button, battery. I reset BIOS thru BIOS.... Nothing changes. BTW, in BIOS I ran a RAM memory check and it passed. Besides, I am not hearing any weird beeps...related to that....
I don't know why this would happen after working perfectly for 2 years... And why would it politely shut down in the beginning of the process anyways? I mean...I appreciated being asked to save my changes...but I don't know what else to do...PLEASE OFFER SUGGESTIONS...any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance...I hope someone can help me! I am still covered by warranty...but I want to do this right.
Thanks!
Marie
EDIT: BTW, I have also tried unplugging everything from the pc except for the DVI and power plug in case that was interferring....

On a slightly different topic...would it work (I have never done this!) to take my OS HDD and boot it on another PC? I am thinking this would not work because of system files and etc., but I have always wondered this and now would be the best time for me to know
It mostly works if the components used aren't too special. As you have no RAID setup it should work. However you will need to reactivate Windows once it made it. Of course you will also need all drivers for the new machine. Be aware that you might not be able to connect to the internet before you installed the proper driver for the ethernet adapter.

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 stop flashing the same version all over again, before something goes wrong.
It's great to have that info now... is it posted anywhere on the website?
Quote from: Jack on 29-September-11, 16:56:49
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 0: ST31000528AS -> PORT ID = 0; PD ID = 0; Type = SATA PD; Status = Configured; Size 953869MD; Feature Support = NCQ 3G 48Bits; Current Speed = 3G
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:
VENDOR ID: 1B4B
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.

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.

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

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.

P67A-GD65 recall help

First off I'm not that tech informed so bare with me... That said....
I was told by a friend who help me reseach and build my latest PC hardware in late 2010 that my motherboard was recalled by Intel? The Motherboard in question is an MSI P67A-GD65. I was told by my friend that I can contact MSI for a exchange for the new updated B3 chipset revision? So, is this true and if so how do I go about doing this? The only reason I'm asking is my computer has been really slow so I had my friend come look at it.. After he realized I hadn't gotten an exchange for the B3 motherboard he told me to contact MSI and get it replaced.. Thanks for all your help everyone

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
Sound @ post:

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: 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 RAID set-up problem... HELP!

First off I tried the search to find any threads but the search didn't come back with anything relevant.
So here is my problem. Brand new build and can't get the RAID drivers to install. Can't even find the drivers by themselves without a EXE file to run them. I have them on a USB flash drive but Win7 won't recognize them because they are still bundled into the EXE program. I've tried to extract them from the Marvell RAID Drivers given on the MSI support site but still no luck. I have the MSI P67A-GD65 with two Seagate ST32000641AS Barracuda XT HDs plugged into the Marvell SATA III ports 7 & 8. Win7 install sees them as two separate drives so I'm stuck trying to find some drivers that Win7 will recognize and install off the USB drive.
Also I'm reading that the Marvell SATA III controller isn't as fast as the Intel P67 SATA III controller.... should I swap the cables over and avoid the Marvell? If so any help finding the Intel P67 RAID Drivers would be greatly appreciated.

Things have changed since my last build, thank God!
In the old days you had to install the RAID drivers before installing the OS onto the array. Today I just set up the RAID 0 array after installing Windows 7 onto one of the two drives. So all that time I spent looking for drivers that weren't part of an EXE file was a waste. I did swap from the SATA III Marvell ports (7 & 8) to the SATA III ports (1 & 2) that are Intel P67 PCH. I then installed Windows 7, popped in the MSI motherboard disc, and loaded the Intel RAID drivers. After that I opened the Intel Control Panel that was installed with the RAID drivers and set-up the RAID 0 array. Now it seems Windows 7 is migrating itself onto that array. Bad news... because the array is so large. Two 2TB drives... its going to take a long time. Not sure if there is a better/faster way.

Post and boot P67A GD65 B3

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?

Please post back following the guidelines in this link. This will help users better troubleshoot your issue.

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

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?

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.
