P67A-GD65 Power Cycle (Rebooting)

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

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

BIOS Date: 7/16/2012
Attempted to upgrade to https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.0
Due to the inability to hold any overclocks with any voltage besides auto, and because the Windows MSI control center wouldn't keep settings on startup.
Installed the forum flash tool on a USB drive and it wasn't bootable.
Tried with another flash drive and it wasn't bootable.
Used the on-BIOS tool to flash the BIOS
Flashed, rebooted, and began reboot looping.
Cleared CMOS - nope
Removed battery and cleared CMOS - nope
Removed all but one stick of RAM - nope
Is it bricked? If so, how do I get a replacement/repair?
Edit, was perusing the forums and found this:
Forum flasher defaults to looking for zip files, if you pick rar from the drop down it should accept the file just fine, if you don't use method 1 you won't get the ME flashed.
It's lovely that that's documented and pointed out in the flashing tool's post, and it's rather odd that all of the BIOSes are saved in .rar archives if the flasher looks for .zip. I used method 2.

You should use "Fix My USB key" Tool's option 1st before prepare the stick if you having troubles booting from the USB key.
I realized that after the fact.
have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed and leave 1 memory stick only in 1st DIMM close to CPU socket?
I just did that, and it unfortunately continues to loop.
I guess I'll get it packaged up and into the mail. Thanks for the help guys.
When I do get it fixed, what BIOS will it come with?

P67A-GD65 Power LED connection

Sorry for the noobie question but I'm unsure where I should install the power led connection. The instructions show JFP1 has a power led connection but they also have a power led connection on JFP2. Which one should I use?

The answer may be "it depends".
The connector on my case's power LED is 3 pins wide. (The center pin is absent.) It's connected between pins 1 and 5 of JFP2. It works.

Firefox stops loading new pages, displays "Loading". When I close it it goes. But when I restart it gives me "Another version is running, but not responding. This requires a power cycle reboot.

Version 3.6.18. Running on Windows XP Pro. (kept current)
This happens on a variety of pages. I get the little Loading thing in the tab, with the circle moving. So I X out (to exit Firefox). When I go to restart I get the error message "Another version of FireFox is running, but not responding". I give Windows the "three finger salute", and go to Task Manager, and do not see any reference to Firefox, and the Performance, and Processes seem OK. But it never seems to close the earlier Firefox, and won't let me open a new one. Any suggestions? Super Thanks for your help!

Hi Andis.
First of all, this is completely normal behavior, although it's a bit irritating, I know. What happens is that when you close Firefox, despite the window disappearing right there and then, Firefox keeps running for a little bit until the whole closing procedure is completed. This can take a fraction of a second on fast computers, or can take a few seconds on slow computers or when Firefox is storing a large session (if you save your tabs). All you have to do is wait a bit until Firefox closes, and then open it again.
To see if it's still running, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and then, under the Processes tab, you can see if firefox.exe is still there. If it's taking an unusual amount of time to close (which happens very rarely, and only if the browser freezes on exit), you can force the application to terminate from this application (task manager).
Firefox 4.0 will reduce by 97% the time it takes firefox.exe to close, so this problem will be basically erased for Firefox's next version.
Until then, I can recommend you this extension, which helps you restart your browser more easily and without bothering about closing times:

Hopefully this will help.

My build has been stable for about 3 months now but today I went to play a game but the monitor was turned off. I switched the computer off and back on and it started power cycling. I reset the CMOS and it still power cycled. I also tried 1 RAM stick in every RAM slot but still same thing. Everything is plugged in correctly as I have been using it succesfully for the last 3 months until now. Would it be safe to say that I need to RMA it?

No offense but you and many others on this board give MSI too much credit. These boards are widely known to have problems and MSI obviously isn't fixing them very well because I am not the only person that has got this power cycling issue.
Also you implying that I was the one that caused my board to fail is ridiculous. The board died, I replaced it and it booted up fine so I obviously did nothing wrong. Don't be a [censored] about it.
Let's just all cool down.
As for the statement which I have highlighted in Bold, that is a very general statement to make. To begin with, the problem of P67 chipsets lies with Intel and Intel has issued an official notice several months ago on the issues. Though revisions like B3 version had been released to solve the glitches found in the P67 chipsets, no one knows how many other problems are still unannounced thus no one dares to speculate. Do note, that the P67 chipset problem affects all manufacturers worldwide as everyone only gets their P67 from one source, which is obviously, Intel.
As far as I'm concerned about stability, the below quoted is what I have done and have been doing all this while before any tweaking starts.
Quote from: NovJoe on 18-November-11, 10:16:31
You can overclock the system but since you have experienced instability before, that is the reason why you should do everything under stock to make sure it is rock stable before you start to tweak it again.
Trust me, 1 week is a good time frame for monitoring. For all my gaming systems that I build for my clients, I always make sure that I have a 1.5 weeks allowance to do monitoring and testings in stock before I hand over the system to them. Thereafter, anything above stock, it is all in their hands to manage.

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.<<

Do I need more power or are there any specific settings I need to mess with?
Thanks in advance

Quote from: NovJoe on 13-March-11, 10:57:35
When you mention "won't boot", does it mean that you can't even access BIOS after enabling OC Genie II?
Yes, LED on the board flashes a couple of times and shut down & reboot by itself.
They repeat this cycle forever.

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.
System specs:
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Mainboard: MSI P67A-GD65 (not B3)
CPU: Intel Sandy bridge i5-2500k @3.3ghz
RAM: 2x2gb Kinston 2x4gb Gskill DDR3@1333hz 10600 CL7
GPU: Nvidia Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (reason I wanted to flash bios)
PSU: Seasonic 80+ platinum 650W

Quote from: Svet on 22-February-15, 19:25:45
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 rebooting loop

I have the constant rebooting problem, its the same problem (mine turned on for about 7 secs before shutting down) as many others. It worked perfectly before I took the motherboard out to get the serial number (as shown thats supposedly the only place to find it). I put it back in, turned it on, then noticed a serial number on the box. And when i booted it, it shut down again. I took everything out, made sure ALL the connections were not loose, turned it on again. I smelled something funny this time.. I turned it on once more, lo and behold there was a little bit of smoke.
If this helps, I used a magnetic screwdriver when screwing the screws in, and I think i might have touched the gold part on the screw holes and im not sure if that has something to do with it or not, but i think it might. I had to RMA it to newegg, still have yet to pack it up.. also about 4-5 other people giving reviews to that same motherboard on newegg showed the same problem (minus the smoke). Also the smoke I saw was around the south bridge area if this helps, which was ironically right at the end or near the end of my graphics card.

Smoke... Never a good sign!
Is there any visible damage to the component that you might have spotted during the time it smoked?
How many times did you attempt to restart the PC after the reboot?
Did you have any BIOS details that appeared on the screen during the 7 sec?
Try to remove the MB carefully and check to see if you haven't maybe lost a screw underneath the MB whilst putting it back!

Must I reboot Windows after power-cycling the PXI?

The fans in the NI PXI-1042 are *noisy*!!! This thing is in a classroom and gets shut off everytime I turn around. Two questions: 1) is there any way to get around the reboot required to find the PXI cards on the PC every time it is power-cycled. 2) Where can I find quieter replacement fans for this thing?
Thanks,
Chris

Chris,
I don't know what type of connection you have (MXI-3 or MXI-4)... I have had some success with the following method:
With everything up and running, go to Control Panel >> System >> Device Manager (Hardware Tab). From there, expand the "tree" for System Devices. There you will see 'PCI Standard PCI-to-PCI Bridge'. Right-click on that and choose 'Disable'. The PXI chassis can now be turned off. When you are ready to use the PXI boards again, simply turn the PXI chassis back on, and then choose 'Enable' from device manager and the chassis and computer will link up once again. So, it does require some action up front, but it will save you from rebooting
I can't guarantee this will work every time and I'm not sure if it works for MXI-3 (I have MXI-4) but it may be worth a try.

P67a-gd65 b3 Not powering up but power LED goes on

This computer I built has been running for several months with no problems. Last night I left it on and when I got up it today it was off.
Almost positive its a hardware problem as nothing new has been added or changed. Looking to see if anyone else had the same symptoms to help identify what component may be causing it.
When I unplug the machine from power, and plug it back in no LEDs light up (as expected from what I remember when building it).
When I press the power button on the case, or the power button on the motherboard, that power LED lights up but that is the only thing that seems to happen. None of the LEDs on the top by the CPU light up, the fans never spin, and no post.
First thoughts would be psu, cpu, or motherboard.
The type of psu (seasonic x series) I have would only spin its fans some of the time depending on load. So the lack of psu fan activity isn't abnormal.
Thanks

P67A-GD65(B3), new BIOS 4.3 and power phases

The old BIOS for P67A-GD65(B3) offered APS, Intel SVID and disabled as options for the power phases in the BIOS. The newest BIOS has no such option so I have to wonder whether APS and intel SVID are still around or all power phases options are set to disabled.
I have 2 of those mainboards. In the first one the BIOS is upgraded to 4.3. The system has a Pentium G860 (Sandybridge) and a Corsair HX750 psu. Control Center reports system to have 1 phase active while idle but the phase system itself is reported as disabled. It is not reported as either Intel SVID or APS. This seems to be wrong though cause when system goes to full load all phases go active again.
The other mainboard has an i5 2500K and was using BIOS v1.19. I had set the phase system to Intel SVID and indeed the phases changed between idle and full load. In a stupid attempt to benefit from Intel's rapid start technology that is supported on the latest BIOS and despite my better judgment I upgraded the BIOS to v 4.30. I had lots of issues with overclocking the CPU so I downgraded to 1.19 using the forum tool and the custom BIOS file. I may need to do a fresh installation of windows but according to the leds on the mainboard and the Control Center I can't get the mainboard to lower the phases even when idle. I've tried Intel SVID and APS in the BIOS but I had no luck. C1E is enabled along with every other energy saving feature. Currently and most of the time the i5 is running on stock clocks. I did notice that during the original upgrade from 1.19 to 4.30 in the BIOS the Intel ME was also upgraded from v7 to v8. I am not sure if the forum tool that reverted back the BIOS to v1.19 took care of the intel ME.
So I wanted some clarification to what happens with the power phase system in the new BIOS (4.3) and a bit of help in regards to the other system that for the time being seems incapable of lowering CPU phases. The second system is using a Coolermaster Silent M 1000W psu. Both mainboards are equipped with 16GB of Corsair (XMS1600) memory. Both systems use aftermarket coolers that keep the temperature reasonably low while being very quiet. I could list the rest of the specs but I don't think they will matter much.

The v4.3 was intended for those that decide to install an Ivy CPU. There must have been a reason why some of the features or settings were modified or eliminated to accomodate Ivy support. It may be best to ask this question directed towards the MSI Technical engineers.

So I wanted some clarification to what happens with the power phase system in the new BIOS (4.3) and a bit of help in regards to the other system that for the time being seems incapable of lowering CPU phases.
As for phases, it may depend on how many applications are running in the background.
