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.

Problem with Sensor fan 3 and 4 (P67A-GD65

Hi all :D.
I had buy 1 week ago a new P67A-GD65 motherboard but i have found a problem .
Today, i have connected my 4 fan in three different slot fan.
When i look with EFI the rpm of the fan,i can look only CPU_FAN SYS_Fan1 and SYS_FAN2 but not for SYS_Fan3.
Where is the problem? Sensor? Or what?
I had try to use AIDA64 and SPEEDfan but same problem

Not all Fan headers support fan monitoring & fan speed adjustion. That is not a bug but rather the lack of a feature.

MSI P55-GD80 - POST and boot issues

So I built my previous custom rig about 7 months ago and have had no problems up until about 2 weeks ago. My computer began to restart itself and hardlock with no warning. The only indication of what was happening was an IDE Controller error - Eventid: 11 / Source: atapi (most likely HD Cables or Motherboard), so I went out and got a new MSi P55-GD80 mobo today and put it in my computer with a new 850w antec psu. When I boot the computer, it hangs at a black screen for a long period of time (3-8m) and eventually it manages to POST. It doesn't allow me to enter the BIOS setup menu because the motherboard never initializes the setup of USB and other devices (debug code 38). By the time the computer boots to Windows (if at all), the debug code reads 33 and will slowly revert back to debug code 30 over time. I am not able to do anything while in windows due to a lack of mouse and keyboard.It doesn't seem like the motherboard is initializing all of the correct processes before moving on to the next, and I've never seen a motherboard just sit without POSTing for minutes at a time until initiating the motherboard splash logo. Do I need to RMA this motherboard or do you guys have any other ideas?
P.S: Yes, I am booting with one stick of ram in the first black slot closest to the CPU (second slot).

My computer was previously using the ASUS P7P55D EVO motherboard. I had no issues until I started receiving the IDE controller errors that would freeze up my computer endlessly.
So basically I swapped to the new MSI P55-GD80 motherboard on a freshly formatted SSD and am now encountering these strange POST issues.
Here's a walkthrough of what is currently happening to the machine when powered on with 1 stick of RAM in DIMM slot #1, no drives connected, video card/cpu only:
1. Power button pushed.
• Computer powers on.
• Debug LED reads FF for 1 second
• Debug LED reads d4 for 1/2 second
• Debug LED reads d5 for 1/2 second
• Debug LED reads 04 for 1/8 second
• Debug LED reads 05 for 1/8 second
• Debug LED reads 06 for ~45 seconds
• Debug LED reads 0c for 3-5 minutes
2. The computer sometimes POSTs at this point, with the Debug LED reading anywhere from 30-38 (it changes randomly, sometimes backwards after a period of time), or continues to sit at a black screen until restart.
• It is still not possible to use any USB or PS2 devices at this point, so loading into the BIOS setup is not an option

P67A-GD65 B3 or B2?

hey guys. would really appreciate some help on a little issue I have. I'm trying to get an XFX R9 280 to post on my P67A-GD65 without any luck so far, but I haven't given up yet. i kept reading online that the number one thing to do was update your bios. i took the step of updating via Live Update (i know, i know) a few months ago so when i clicked on it today it just said I had the newest version - 1.JO. however, when i went on to the MSI site, I saw that the newest version was 4.3. i considered flashing up to 4.3 but then read a bunch of horror stories about who bricked their P67A's because they had the wrong version, and that scared the hell outta me.
when I first got this motherboard, I remember I sent it back to MSI who corrected something (intel-related? i can't remember, it was three years ago!) on it and sent it back to me. when i look at the box, I see that it has as an "msi b3 stepping ready" sticker on it. so this means i'm B3, right? and they're good to flash update to 4.3?
thanks for the help! i just don't wanna brick the motherboard, that's all! and maybe it might even fix my GPU problem. for what it's worth, my GTX-460 works fine when plugged into the same PCI-E slot.
cheers!

Follow the below:
1.) >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB and follow the directions. MEMTEST is included with the forum flash tool and it is recommended to run this prior to any flash.
2.) Once the flash is complete, you must download and install the latest ME drivers:
http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me81_win78_xp.zip
oh, just one thing i need to, flobelix. uh, when installing the forum flash tool, do i select Mode 1 (point to MSI Bios) or Mode 2 (Point Directly to MSI Bios)? they both seem like the same thing. i assume Mode 2 because I saved your archive to my desktop?
thankyou!

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.

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.

For Those Experiencing the Infinite Boot Loop on P67A-GD65

My story in a nutshell - bought the original (non B3) P67A-GD65 from Newegg on the first day it was available along with 8 GB (2X4 GB) Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1600 ram and Intel i5 2500k processor. Received the items, hooked them up on a test bench (rubber mb supports so no grounding issues) along with a Corsair VX-550 P/S (both 24 pin and 8 pin leads plugged in), GTX-460 video card (2 PCI-E 6 pin connectors plugged in), the default Intel i5 heatsink and a known good USB KB and mouse. Promptly experienced the infinite loop boot issue others have described - fans on h/s and video card spin up, 1st APS LED lights for a fraction of a second then all 6 light up for 3 to 4 seconds then APS LEDs go out and fans on h/s and video card spin down. No beeps from speaker and no video signal to monitor. After everything has stopped spinning (about 3 to 4 seconds), the power comes back on and the cycle repeats exactly the same way every time until I turn off the power supply. Here is what I tried:
1. Used only 1 stick of ram (tried in all 4 slots)
2. Pulled 1 stick of DDR3-1600 ram from my working X58 system (again tried in all 4 slots)
3. Different power supply (OCZ 520-ADJ)
4. Known good PCI video card instead of GTX-460 (in case there was some problem with power draw)
Under each of these changes, the same infinite boot loop occurred. Called tech support, they walked me through each step I had already tried and finally suggested I RMA both the MB and the CPU to Newegg. Did so and the replacements worked fine from the start.
Then came the B2 stepping issue. Notified both Newegg and MSI that I had one of the B2 boards. Newegg notified me they had the new B3 boards in stock. Arranged for cross shipment where they would ship me the new board and then I would return the old one. Received the new one last Friday. Put it on the same test bench as above and the same infinite boot loop is now happening on the new B3 stepping board. Just to test, put the cpu, ram and GTX-460 video card back into the B2 stepping board and everything works perfectly.
Another test, since some people reported the infinite loop problem when they had failed to plug in the 8 Pin power lead to the mb, I unplugged the 8 pin connector on the working B2 stepping board. The infinite loop problem is entirely different in this case. When you press the power switch, the fans start to spin and the first LED lights for less than a second. Then the LED goes off and the fans start to spin down. After everything has stopped, it repeats until the power supply is turned off.
This is my first MSI motherboard after 15 years of Abit and Asus with the occasional Gigabyte or EVGA thrown in and I am not happy with the QC I have experienced with this board!
So to summarize, 2 of the 3 P67A-GD65 boards I received from Newegg have had this infinite boot loop problem. Apparently, I have to RMA again. Am I lucky or what???!!!

If it was the chipset causing this problem, it seems it would be a widespread complaint among all vendors. I have looked at the Asus and Gigabyte boards and do not see this particular problem described and certainly not multiple users reporting the same problem. I am giving up on this and will arrange an RMA and will see if I can talk Newegg into an Asus board for only the price difference. MSI has a very good reputation in the industry, but it has been a disaster for me!!!
Thanks for your replies,
Monte
Frankly, I can understand your frustrations on the problem but it is not fair to judge a brand by looking at the number of complains in a forum. I can guarantee you, there are more RMAs out there from all other manufacturers even before an user even knows that a Forum ever exist for them to post for enquiry and most of them aren't an IT engineer or hardware engineer by self.
If you want to compare, I have also been in this industry for more than 15 years and I have many DOA boards from other manufacturers as well and DOAs after RMAs are common to me. When you handle thousands of PCs, laptops and mainframes, such things are really common.
Back to your problem. Maybe I didn't make it clear on how I want to describe on my previous post for your issue in words. I am referring to having a chance to let the system boot into BIOS or past BIOS after multiple times of rebooting, then you can try to flash the BIOS. This is also not uncommon as I have encountered systems which are problematic but are able to boot into Windows after 15 to 20 times of infinite reboots by itself.
How about processor? Tested it in another system yet? Or is this another unless suggestion to you?

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?

MSI P67A-GD65 keeps turing on and off...

I have had the follwing build since about march this year.
8GB Mushkin Silverline #996770 (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9-24
MSI P67A-GD65 Intel P67 (REV B3) Socket 1155 DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard
Intel Core i7-2600 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
XFX ATI Radeon HD5750
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 (B3 )boot problems

I've built my box around mid-December (2011) and ever since, I've experienced the same issue as well.
The very first time it happened, I ran the repair tool, but just like others said, it could not repair it. I DID NOT have have MSI control center installed for the first few weeks and yet the random reboots at the windows logo still happened, so I'm certain it is NOT an MSI control center issue (at least in general).
Yes, it is very hard to pinpoint, just like others said. Most of the time it boots just fine. On those rare occasions (maybe once every 20-40 boots) I just let it reboot automatically and then it's all fine.
I'm NOT an overclocker at all, so I have everything set as it is out of the box and aside from this random, occasional reboot everything works fine.
I don't remember which bios version originally I had, either 1.C/D/E, but I upgraded to 1.G and it still does it, and did before the bios upgrade. Currently 1.E is the latest which I don't have.

ADATA S510 Series AS510S3-120GM-C SSD
Nvidia GeForce GTX 275
Win 7 x64 Ultimate

Ok, so I just want to recap on this issue. It seems my machine is stable now.
I have reinstalled windows about 4-5 times this week, trying to test what the problem might be. Wasn't sure if it's a driver, the service pack (1) or maybe the order of installation messed something up. So I wanted to start clean the various installations/testing. None helped.
So I noticed there was a new BIOS update available with v 1.I (dated 01/12/2012). As a side note, I don't understand why they post version numbers with letters (A, B, C, D, etc) but in the BIOS or in other programs, such as CPU-Z, they report the version number with numbers. Anyhow.
So I installed this BIOS. That didn't solve it either. But while I was running the OS, I noticed my BIOS LED is flashing, so my primary BIOS failed. It still booted and ran fine. I just didn't understand why did the primary BIOS failed since the BIOS update tool (downloaded from this forum, reported the flash was successful.)
I cleared the CMOS, reset the BIOS to default values, installed windows 7 ultimate x64 using AHCI and IDE mode. None made any difference. Still experienced random reboots at the Starting Windows screen (but it rebooted only once - consequent reboots were fine).
So I used the dual BIOS to re-flash the primary with the secondary. The secondary had BIOS v 1.11 (dated 04/20/2011). So now I'm running this version. Lo and behold (and also knock on wood) I don't have any random reboots so far. That's about 5 days now.
So I want to close this thread by saying, that it seems there was some issue with the new BIOS releases (I only used 1.G and 1.I) but reverting to the original one (which is in the secondary BIOS - 1.11) makes my machine ran stable without random reboots - so far.
I think this is how I'm going to leave it. This works. As they say, if it ain't broken don't fix it, so this is the BIOS version I'll stick with.
Long live the King!

P67A-GD65 B3 won't boot?

I just bought a new P67A-GD65 from Fry's an I cannot get it to boot. I installed it with an Intel i5 2500k with stock cooler, Patriot DDR3 1333 PSD38G1333KH ram (2x4gb), Cooler Master Silent Pro 800W power supply, two Caviar Blue 320gb hard drives, and two EVGA GTX470 graphics cards.
All the equipment is brand new, with the exception of the hard drives and graphics cards, both of which were working fine in my previous system.
When I try to power on the system, the fans will spin up, the hard drives will spool, but after about a second the system will shut down, and then try to restart itself. It does this over and over indefinitely until I turn off the power supply. I have tried removing everything except one stick of ram and one VGA, but same results. I returned one mobo, thinking it must have been a defective mobo, but I have the same results with the new one. The LEDS at the top show the CPU going from phase 1 to phase 6 and then the whole system shuts down. The BIOS LED's stay blank. I have checked the CPU pins, as well as the bottom of the CPU, and both look good. The bottom of the CPU has indents where the mobo pins made contact, so I know there is no contact issue there.
I have read multiple posts about rebooting issues, but they seem to vary in cause or when the reboot occurs. Does anyone have an idea of what is going on here? I am at wits end, and about to return the whole setup and go with some non-sandy bridge setup.

You should start with bare minimum of parts to get system running OK and then start adding parts 1 at a time. If you start having problems at a certain point in the process then you know where to start solving the problem. Each of you start your own topic instead of hi-jacking someone elses as the cause of your problem may not be the same and it gets too confusing trying to solve multiple problems of several people in one topic.

P67A-gd65 boot problem after BIOS update

I'm not optimistic about this, but...
My P67A-GD65 was delivered with BIOS 1.5. (However, the stickers on both chips read 1.4.) I updated the BIOS to 1.7 using a DOS formatted USB flash drive. (The EM was updated as well.) Things seemed to be running OK.
I foolishly experimented with the 1.8A beta BIOS. I flashed from DOS again. After rebooting, I went into the settings to reconfigure the machine as it had been. The EFI screen hung, so I powered the machine down (from the button, not the PSU).
I've been unable to boot since. No display appears on the monitor. If it is powered down, the power comes back on for an instant, goes off again, and comes up again with nothing on the display. The USB keyboard and mouse never become active, as far as I can tell. I tried a PS/2 keyboard; no difference.
If this board has dual BIOS indicator LEDs, neither illuminates, which indicates that all is serene.
I have cleared the CMOS several times, using the jumper or the button at the rear I/O panel.
Any advice? Is there any way to force the use of the second BIOS? (I've read the MSI dual BIOS FAQ posted elsewhere, but didn't spot anything of use.)
RMA time?

Hi,
The blue screens started after a clean Bios flash to the 18b10 bios then eventually it stopped working complety (just doing the start up cycle over and over)
I had tried reseting cmos and it doesnt make a difference, the motherboard will not post , boot , start up at all so default settings cant be set (although reseting cmos would set to default anyway)
Each time the board goes through the start up cycle (i.e. upon pressing start button the board will start up with fans spinning for a second then shut down, start up again with fans spinning for a second then shut down, continuasly repeating until main power is removed) I have used a multimeter to measure the voltage read points on the board and they show that there is no vcore being suplied to the cpu but all other points show the voltage is being supplied to those componants, so imo that is where the problem lies and I would sugest that the other ppl who are having this issue to also try measuring the voltage read points and see if the same thing is happening on thier boards .
If others are getting the same results (no vcore) then the msi techs should be informed of this issue..(imo)
1.8b10 still is a beta bios. I got random bluescreens with that one also at some point a blinking bios led. So I flashed back from secondary bios (using the first option (change disable in enable)in "security" in the EFI shell to allow flashing from secondary bios), blinking bios led now stopped, Then I flashed with 1.7, no issues sofar cpu now running stable at 4.5Ghz (already 2 days).

P67A-GD65 does not boot with LSI 9240-8i HBA

Hi All,
When I installed my LSI 9240-8i I was able to boot to the ICH10 Raid as long as the Marvell Raid controller was disabled. Once I updated the LSI card to the latest version of the firmware I cant boot at all. I've cleared the CMOS, I've disabled everything in the BIOS (raid controllers, 1394, NIC, etc). All not no avail.
Thus Far I've tried:
-Booting to OS on the ICH10 RAID gets me into Windows 7 (x64): Resulted in the LSI controller showing, "This device could not start. (Code 10)" under Device Manager.
-Updating Firmware: Resulted in the mobo hanging on POST at code "92".
-Upating BIOS from 1.B to 1.C5 Beta: Resulted in mobo hanging on POST at code "92".
-When I move the card to my Dell Prescision workstation, the LSI RAID controller works like a charm!
Observations:
MSI P67A-GD65 BIOS v. 1.B
-LSI Firmware
20.10.1-0037 (APP-2.120.54-1235)   15-APR-11   - BROKEN
20.10.1-0029 (APP-2.120.24-1181)   - 04-MAR-11 - BROKEN
(Same as above, but I list it anyways)
MSI P67A-GD65 BIOS v. 1.C5
-LSI Firmware
20.10.1-0037 (APP-2.120.54-1235)   15-APR-11   - BROKEN
20.10.1-0029 (APP-2.120.24-1181)   - 04-MAR-11 - BROKEN
MSI PLEASE HELP!
I am running:
Mobo: MSI P67A-GD65 1.C5
CPU: I7 2600k
RAID: LSI 9240-8i
Thanks!

Looks to me that it is the LSI firmware issue as the card works fine until you updated its firmware.
Do card with the card's vendor.
Hi NovJoe,
Thats just it. It looks like its an MSI BIOS compatability issue all along. Before I upgrade the firmware, the card works in my Dell Precision Workstation, but does not work on the MSI mobo; shows Device could not start (Code 10) error. After I upgrade the Firmware, the MSI mobo will not POST, but the Dell still boots up with the card perfectly.
Its definitely NOT the card. If both the 9240 and 9260 cards work perfectly in other computers then there is something wrong with the MSI mobo or BIOS.
Please help.
Thanks!

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.

Post and boot P67A GD65 B3
