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.<<

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

Z77a-GD65 Debug Code 49 (Reboot cycle)

Saw a post about guidelines for posting threads here, lost it though. Sorry.
Mainboard: MSI Z77a-GD65 Rev2.1
BIOS Version: 10.5
CPU: Intel Core i7-3770, 3.4GHz
Memory: 4x4GB Kingston HyperX DDR3-1600 (PC-12600), 1.65v
Graphics: MSI 670GTX
Storage: OCZ Agility3 240GB SSD, Seagate 2TB 7200RPM
PSU: Corsair HX750 (750W)
So the machine runs fine on default settings. I really can't complain about the performance, but there's a small issue. The BIOS reads the ram as 1333MHz and the automatic voltage is 1.5v. The information for the memory says it's rated at 1.65v and 1600MHz. If I change the settings in the BIOS to 1600MHz it will run, usually. If I set it to 1.65v, it doesn't run at all. Last night, after messing with it for a while the 1600MHz tweak worked, but this morning after a cold start up I ran into the problem again.
The actual issue is that it gets into a reboot cycle until the BIOS eventually resets itself. The last code on the debug LED is 49. I can't find documentation about what that specific code means. I've run MemTest86, the memory reads fine.
I've already contacted both MSI and Kingston explaining the issue to see if either side might have an idea, but thought I'd check here to get a broader chance at finding the issue. Any help is appreciated.
To clarify:
1333MHz and 1.5v works fine.
1600MHz and 1.5v works, usually. Doesn't seem to work from a cold start. Debug code 49 if it gets into a boot-loop.
1600MHz and 1.65v never works. Debug code 49.

I'm back again, and with SOME good news.
I just got my RMA'd kit of memory (2x8GB Corsair Vengeance LP, XMP: 10-10-10-27, 1600MHz, 1.5v), installed them into DIMMs 2 and 4. Reset my CMOS and when it started up prompted me about the change in memory. Went in, turned on XMP and changed nothing else - it went back into that code 49 death spiral. Swapping back and forth between the two BIOS and turning on the OC Genie, it's gotten to the desktop now. Without the Genie on though, it just keeps rebooting. I guess I'm cool with it, but I really wanted to do the overclocking myself.
It's currently running (mostly) stable at 4.0GHz on the CPU and the expected XMP values on the memory. So far the only problem I've run into was a red screen (VGA related, might be the MSI After Burner) but that's an issue for another forum I suppose. It still stutters when booting up though, which has me concerned. I'm wondering if maybe it has been the motherboard this whole time - or maybe the CPU. Or maybe I just don't get what the deal is with these settings anymore. It HAS been something like 6 years since I put a computer together from scratch. I feel like an old man with how so much has so much has changed, even knowing it's just details that shouldn't really be crippling me this much.
At this point I guess I just need to break it in to see that it's kosher.
Thanks again for all the quick responses xmad, and for your input as well flobelix and Bernhard. If any of you have any more thoughts, please share.

Centro - Calendar causes reboot, phone causes reboot cycle, contacts gone

I've had issues with my centro getting into a reboot cycle in the past, but it has usually spontaneously resolved itself eventually. This time it's a bit worse:
-turning on the phone causes it to reboot, usually right after it pops up a message asking whether to copy info from the sim card
-starting Calendar causes it to reboot
-all the contacts are gone
Doing a soft reset (many times) did not help. Any assistance is much appreciated!
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I was able to resolve the problem by doing the following:
-hotsynced
-checked that all the data was in fact present in palm desktop
-hard reset device, erasing all data on it
-hotsynced, with desktop overwrites device
Most likely it was corruption of the databases on the device, though not badly enough to prevent hotsync from getting the data, and erasing and rewriting them onto the device fixed the issue.

Torch Reboot Cycle Problem after Blackberry ID Update

Hi!
I started my App World to download a few new applications. It went on to ask me to do an ID update, which i did. After installing the Blackberry ID, the phone asked me to restart it, which i did.
But now, it has gone into a reboot cycle and refuses to start. I tried starting the phone in Safe Mode, but when the screen becomes white (just before starting the phone) and i leave the 'Escape' button, BANG! Back into the reboot cycle. It doesnt even boot up in the safe mode. I tried like a zillion times to get it working in safe mode, but to no avail.
Any help please? I need to get the phone up and running as soon as possible! A fast response will make my day!
Model: Blackberry Torch 9800
OS: Version 6 (never updated, so original one which came with the phone)
Carrier: Idea (India)
Thank you,
regards,
Eeshan Umbrani

Hello,
If you can't get it to boot into Safe Mode (which can be tricky indeed), then perhaps this KB will be useful:

MSI Z87-GD65, Freezing while gaming, then reboot loop/bsod/total failure.

Hey fellow MSI'ers
Im hoping to find a solution for my problem i have been getting. I build a custom gaming rig a few months ago (specs below)
Sinds a couple of days iv been getting wierd problems, System runs fine, i can do everything watch movies do work stuff. But when i start gaming it will work great for about 15-30 minutes, then i hear a click/beep thru the sound system, and a total pc freeze, screen freezes nothing works.
So i hit the reboot, then the system decides to turn itself off and get into a reboot loop, turning on for few seconds then turning off again for a few back on for a few, etc etc.
Only way i can get it running is pull the power, make sure the Motherboard has no charge left, then wait a bit and replug the power. Most times it will boot up fine and story starts at part 1 again.
First off i thought it would be temperature, tho im running a almoost ull watercooled system, (Ramm + cpu + video) and i put up temp controlls on my seconds screen, and they never got above 35, on any of the components.
Now seeing my build it is extreemley hard to quickly test a diffirent component, been running memtest with no problems, But when i do graphx/cpu stresstest/benchmark i get the same issue.
As i stated before it has been running perfectly for few months.
I read that PSU might be a problem, compatability wise with Haswell, tho then it wouldnt have worked for so long and just now giving these strange problems.
What i tryéd so far:
-Reinstall windows
-Flash bios
-clear bios
-unplug as much as possible
-diffirent ramm
-Running with or without crossfire enabled.
All same problems, i hope somebody has a idea without having to pull apart my custom build.
Specs:
-Cooler Master HAF XB
-Intel Haswell 4770k
-MSI Z87-GD65
-2x Asus 7970 in Crossfire.
-Corsair Dominator GT 2x4gb
-Corsair ForceGT 128GB SSD
-Antec TruePower 1200
-2x 512gb Seagate MomentusXT

Hi again,
Quote from: robinvanesch on 03-October-13, 04:33:35
UPDATE: Been running bencharmks/stresstest from onboard graphix, both cards disconnected. (lots of towels to be sure) and runs without problems, tho reallo low fps but thats expected.
Going to see if i can run 1 card at a time, see if i can cause the problem to happen again.
So did you agtually try it?
Yep, bleeding is nice job and dooing it right on all steps is needed so yeah great, but if your CPU can handel the stress and you have tested the PSU then i cant see other way.
Tip: take the hard loop,pipe, bridge(betwean the blocks away and add two 90angle fittings with long tobe, so you can rest each card away the pc 1 at time that way you dont need to bleed the system bitwean.
(allso rest of the toops needs to be so long that it can be far away...)
And yes you need reg edit your SATA drivers like xmad sayd, if you like to change IDE to RAID.
P.s. nice build! Hope you get it working
Edit: You dont need to insert that PSU in the case, just connect wires whrere they need to be, at the momen for testing.
Edit2: My current needs little service and update( add backplate, water change, delid cpu and moving GPU to bottom slot).
Edit3: Wait that one 120mm low Rad keeps your sytem 32c??? Damn you have great chips, cold house or software issue. need for delid main is the heat i dont like and i have hmm 10 times that space to get heat off :D

My iPad is stuck in a reboot cycle after restore. How to fix?

I have an iPad 2, Wi-Fi only, earlier model, iOS 6.0.1, never been jailbroken. One day, it just went into a reboot cycle, so I restored it using DFU mode. Clicked "set up as a new iPad", it said "failed to set up because iPad disconnected" or something like that. Restored it twice more, didn't work. This time I left it on charger the entire night, when I woke up it was still stuck on the white apple logo. Tried to restore it again and this time from backup, still not working. Anyone had a similar experience with this?

Try a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...
1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

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).

[P67a-GD65] [Ivy] Infinite reboot loop after flash

MSIHQ: Information detected by MSIHQ Tool ver: 1.25g
MSIHQ: Report generated in Tue 01/01/2013 at 13:31:41.33
Mainboard: P67A-GD65 (MS-7681) - CPU i5-3570K
PCB Version: 2.0
BIOS Version: V4.2
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.

Quote from: Svet on 02-January-13, 04:35:53
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 System build First startup goes into restart loop

I just build a p67a GD65 System i am an experienced system builder testing out on a cardboard surface after the system would not boot.
Using corsair Vengence ddr 3 ram
Coolmaster silent pro 800 W power supply
Hyper 212 plus cooler
2600k processor
After the continuous loop i tested power supplies swapped them and got the same problem
Then i got a clean cardboard box and started troubleshooting now the system, even barebone with the essential hardware only won't boot at all I do however see the green power light go on and OC genie light, light up when i press the power button but the system won't budge, I'm wondering if this is a bad processor or motherboard? I am leaning towards a bad mobo as these problems with this particular MSI board have been rampant.
Just to add none of the bios LED's light up.

I have a question crxer, does the OC Genie Light come on and stay on, or does it turn off? If it stays on then you have the OC Genie Button pushed in and you're trying to overclock the system right off the bat which you don't want to do, and that could be why the constant power cycling because of an OC failure.
Not that this is similar to your problem, but I had a Z68A-GD65(B3) which gave me nothing but problems with overclocking and the the dual bios feature. I would get the power on recycling a few times every time I tried any OC and reboot whether by using the OC Genie button or manual OC, but it would then eventually boot. Mine would also give me the Bios LED coming on in all the different configurations telling me the primary bios failed or secondary or both but I was always able to re-flash the primary bios and the board was never bricked. You're not having that problem thank goodness.
I am a very experienced builder and troubleshooter and tried everything to isolate the problem and make that Z68A board work, but to no avail, which is why I returned it to Newegg and replaced it with a MSI P67A-GD55(B3) shown in my signature, which is similar to your GD65 and it works perfectly with all the same components as I used on the Z68A-GD65(B3), and I have it manually OC'd it to 4.3 Ghz which is good enough for now. Good luck crxer.

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?

Quote from: Jerbsinator on 19-November-11, 11:29:51
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 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!
Quote from: Snake_X
no trust me, I had this thing working up until i did this, and then I didn't even take any of the cables out of their m-connectors and I even took a some pics of how it was arranged before i did it and referenced them when I re-did it.
Quote from: Snake_X
That's what someone told me what might have happened during the time when my 8 pin was unplugged, it might have overloaded a component?
This is contradictory!
Did you or did you not remove any wires?

Hi, I have a trouble with a P67a-GD65(BIOS 1.7)
When I start PC (With Keyboard Razer tarantula plugged) motherboard have this signal: http://rghost.ru/4210405
Without keyboard: http://rghost.ru/4210504
Maybe this is normally signals, but:
When I turn off my pc at night, windows dont loading with the first time
After POST I have black screen with blinking underscore - after reboot, windows loading is good. The same way is good loading, when I reboot PC from Windows, or turn off my pc for 10 minutes and turn on.
In first time Windows loading is normally, but after log in screen i had windows message about new SATA device and searching drivers for it, then BSOD: Quote

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
HDD: WD Caviar Green 2GB
SSD: Corsair 60gb
DVD: Liteon burner

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 Sometimes gets into a Reboot Cycle
