Problem MSI H61M-P21 and GTX 670

I bought a motherboard MSI H61M-P21 however it does not recognize my GeForce GTX 670 but recognizes other video cards and the video card works on other motherboards. My power supply is sufficient for the PC.

I bought the motherboard and processor mentioned above but when I turned on the pc it was not starting (turn on for a few seconds and restarted infinitely), returned the motherboard to the shop they "upgraded" and sent me back and then pc work normal (except for this problem with vga) and the BIOS version when come back to me was 19.0. I don't know what was the version before this, because I can't start the PC.

p.s.: sorry for my bad english :D

MSI H61M-P21 (B3) - Won't start, how can I update the BIOS?

Hello Everyone!
I just bought an MSI H61M-P21 (B3) Motherboard along with Intel Celeron G530 Sandy Bridge (2.4 GHz) and 1 DIMM of 4GB DDR3 1600 KingMax. I use NJOY 500W true power as power supply. The system starts but no image, no beep code, nothing... Testet with another DIMM of RAM (4GB DDR3 1333 KingMax), but no luck. Tested with another power supply (450w true power), no luck again. I have tested the motherboard out of case, put on an antistatic surface, no luck... Reset CMOS, same situation: no image, no beepcodes... On the Main BIOS Chip of the motherboard is a little sticker on which is written "E7680IMSH30" - i guess that the motherboard comes 'shipped' with 7680vH3 BIOS.
Is there a possibility to update the bios without replacing the CPU or send the board to RMA? I'm almost sure that the problem is around here...
Thanks in advance! Any answer is welcome!
P.S.: I appologise for my bad english.

Good morning.
I've tested the motherboard this weekend with another DIMM of 4GB DDR3 1333, ThermalTake PSU (500W, i don't remember the model) and Core i3-2120 CPU - those components were taken from another IDENTICAL motherboard H61M-P21 (B3) with same version of BIOS. Didn't worked... I have tested my Celeron CPU G530 on the functional H61M-P21 (B3) and it's working...
So, there is a problem with my mainboard, i will send it to warranty.
Thanks a lot. Have a nice day!

MSI H61M-P21 no eSata found

I recently bought an MSI H61M-P21 board. Set it up with:
SATA Velociraptor 150 GB as boot disk with Windows 7 Ultimate
SATA WD Green 1 TB as data
both connected directly to the mobo
The configuration of the HDs in the BIOS is set to IDE. I'm using BIOS rev H00 (E7680IMS.H00), which originally came with the motherbard.
I tried to plug an eSATA external drive for backup, but Windows didn't recognize it.
I was using either an internal card reader with an eSATA port, or the bracket that came with the hard drive enclosure, which I attached to the SATA port of the motherboard.
I thought a BIOS update would allow me to do that.
I flashed up to rev H10.
Still had the same problems.
I looked on forums and some people were recommending to use AHCI, which BIOS rev H00 didn't support (it was either IDE or Disabled).
So after updating to H10, I changed the drives to use AHCI. I had to reinstall Windows 7 because I was using IDE.
Anyway, after starting Windows, plugged the drive to the eSATA port... nothing.
I decided to update to the last BIOS rev. H20
Same results.
Furthermore, BIOS H10 and H20 gave me problems. After resetting the computer, the date and time will return to the date and time of the BIOS creation, not holding the current date and time.
I went back to BIOS H00 and everything works fine, except for the original eSATA problem.
Of course, I had to set my hard drives back to IDE instead of AHCI.
Now here's something even stranger.
I realized I don't need AHCI to recognize the external hard drive through eSATA.
Even if I use IDE in the BIOS, the ONLY way to get the external disk to be recognized is to have it powered on and plugged in BEFORE I turn on the computer.
I can access my files in Windows from the external drive.
BUT, if I turn the hard drive off and turn it back on, Windows won't recognize it again. I would have to restart the computer, with the external hard drive plugged in and turned on.
By the way, I made sure the timings for my RAM where all the same through BIOS rev H00, H10 and H20.
Not sure why H10 and H20 didn't hold the current times.
Motherboard battery is fine, if not, why does it save the time and date with rev H00?

MSI twin frozr 4 GTX 670

Hello
Having a slight problem with my gpu, maybe it is not a problem though.
My MSI twin frozr 4 GTX 670 is idling at a great temp of 28 Celsius.
When I play battlefield 3 or future soldier my card temps hit 80 degrees, I also hit 82 degrees in fur mark.
Is this high temps for this card
thanks

Well I guess your card is a GTX 670 Power Edition because that uses Twin Frozr 4. 80 or 82°C is by far no problem especially not in Furmark. Besides the Twin Frozr 4 has more potential and gets my (much overclocked) GTX 680 Lightning to stay at 60°C under load but I have a very decent ventilation in my bigtower case. So with better airflow you'd have better temps but none the less the current temps are still far from problematic.

MSI h61m-p21 has overclocking option but its not working

hi msi i have h61m-21 and even it has oc option in bios but its not letting me set my ram to 1600 i have 1600 fsb ram please help.

You think you need 1600. What do you need it for?
Please read this: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=147704.0
If you still believe that 1600 will make a noteworthy difference, then unfortunately you will have to consider a board with a different chipset. The mem controller is part of the CPU which cannot be overclocked on this chipset.
i know that all but my stupid friend wants it to run at 1600

MSI twin frozr 4 GTX 670 fan problem

Hello
Just notice that only one fan on my GPU is spinning up.
I did notice my temps were getting a bit high under load, then I noticed the card was on running the one fan.
Does this sometimes happen or should both fans be on at the same time?
Thanks for any reply.

Hi
Latest update. I rma'd the card. It was sent back fault not found, both fans working.
I installed the card back into my system and only the one fan is working. I tried all four pci-e slots and still only one fan works.
I don't think it has anything to do with the motherboard as i installed my gtx 570 twin frozr 3 and both fans are working
I have all latest drivers for the card and chipset installed
I have no clue now, thanks for any advice

MOVED: MSI H61M-P21 (B3) Motherboard - are these beeps normal?

This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=158223.0

I figured out the issue. some MSI boards, apparently, give a beep for each usb device plugged into the computer. Once I removed all usb devices, I was left with 2 beeps and a high pitched beep. I've run across a couple places on the Internet of people who have the same issue (2 beeps and a higher beep). One person left it because everything was working on his computer. He updated the forum about a year later saying everything was still working. Another person RMA'd his CPU and that ended up getting rid of the final 3 beeps. So apparently it's a CPU related issue. I'm just frustrated no one from MSI has verified this information, and confused why they would implement something like that (the usb beep count) when that's usually a sign that BIOS didn't POST correctly. At least I presume it's MSI's doing, I haven't come across any other boards that do this, although to be fair I was looking for MSI specific information to match my mainboard.
Although thank you for the recent publication of AMI beep codes. I was only able to find the very dated one.

MSI Z77A-GD65 + Gigabyte GTX 670 OC

Hello everyone, I am new to forums and new to building PCs. I have more or less successfully installed everything and running the computer is fine, I am just a little concerned about a reoccurring message that I receive upon start-up, then it goes to the MSI logo and boots windows fine. It reads...
Asmedia 106X SATA Controller Ver 0.93 AHCI Mode
S.M.A.R.T. Supported
Using PCIE Gen 2
Can't find any device.
As far as I am aware, the BIOS is up to date, and so are the drivers, I have also enabled PCIE gen 3 with the BIOS. What else am I doing wrong/not doing? Also, the Corsair Vengeance Ram that I am using should be running at 1600MHz but it's clocked at 1333MHz, I guess I can live with that for now, but I don't want to bottleneck my GPU using PCIE Gen 2.

Quote from: xmad on 19-July-12, 03:09:42
>>Posting Guide<<
1333 is the default speed at which that ram will run. Go into bio and enable xmp in the overclocking section and you will see your speed goto the xmp profile.
Did you plug your HDD/SSD into the as media ports? You should of plugged them into port 1 or 2. (the 6gb per sec intel controller)
(I read that performance is better)
What Cpu do you have? If not an IVY, there is no pci3 support.
What bios version do you have?
Did you set the pci3 option to "Auto"
Thank you for your responses, I have used the Sata 6Gb/s port 1, I am also using an IB i5 3570K. Under PCI Subsystem, PCIE Gen 3 is Enabled. Initiate Graphics Adapter is set to PEG and I have used Live Update 5 to update the ClickBiosII to v10.0/20120208.
I hope that helps.
Quote from: flobelix on 19-July-12, 04:22:16
Also keep in mind that GTX6xx cards will not benefit in any way from PCIE Gen 3. So if 2.0 or 3.0 is absolutely irrelevant, there won't be the slightest bottleneck.
Ok thank you, most of all right now, it's just annoying to see it come up on boot, if everything else is running as it should, then why why is it coming up? It just worried me at first, that's all. It also doesn't help that it makes my PC take longer to load.

MSI H61M-P21 (B3) - no post, no boot, no beeps

So upon setting up a new PC for a friend, including this board with a Sandy Bridge G850 and 4GB of Gskill 1333. With just the CPU, RAM, and PSU hooked up, upon turning the machine on I get one or two revolutions of the fan, then nothing. This occurs in the case, with all drives hooked up just the same as it does on the test bench with a known working power supply. I am getting absolutely no beep codes or anything from this board, and have tried different RAM, different PSU, and different processor. Is the board absolutely dead or am I missing something obvious here?

In all honesty, I haven't gotten a G CPU to work on a 6 series mainboard yet, P67 or Z68 B3/G3 if they were on the CPU supported list or otherwise. Just plain bad luck? Well, possibly.
If you have a 2400, 2500/2500k, or 2600/2600k available, test with that, the mainboard may be perfectly fine with one of those.

Diamond xs51 sound card

In this mobo there are checksum issues with this card that the 9600 GT never had. I know because after i got the first checksum, i removed the card and reinserted the 9600 GT . no checksum. switched to 4850, checksum Here was what I did to try to remedy this
1. Cleared the jumper cable, checksum
2. Removed CMOS battery for 15 minutes and reinserted, checksum
3. Upgraded BIOS from 4.1 to 4.4 via liveupdate. Still checksum but the latest BIOS feels a lot smoother
4. repeated step 2 after the BIOS update, checksum
5. added a Visiontek juicebox, checksum as it's not a Power issue
I seriously doubt it's the voltage battery because it's a new mobo and i never got the checksum error on the 9600 GT.
Can someone help me please?

What issue you have

MSI G31TM-P21

Recently purchased a MSI G31TM-P21 and a Celeron e3400 wolfdale. The board is listed as supporting this cpu but on newegg I found a review stating that there was a problem with this cpu and the bios resulting in a bios flash to resolve the problem. Is this still a problem to anyones knowledge? And if so how can i flash the bios to get these two components to work together? Thank you in advance.

So long as the motherboard's BIOS is updated to version 4.5 it will work fine. >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
See if it boots first.

H61M-P21 B3 Constant Beeping, Won't POST

So basically when I start my computer, I get a constant error beeping going, with a couple short beeps at the very start, and then back to just the constant beeping. I can see a little flashing underscore on the top left of my screen, and it switches between the numbers 98 and 99 on the bottom right. After about 20 seconds, I get even more beeps thrown into the already constant beeping for a second, and then they stop and it goes back to continuous beeping. I then also get 92, A2, A3, and A4 errors on the bottom right. It doesn't POST. It will just sit there constantly beeping with a A3 at the bottom right.
I should also add that the power is always on whenever power is plugged in. Not sure why this is happening either. The only way to shut the motherboard all the way off is to unplug the power cord or turn off the PSU.
My specs are as follows:
Core i3 2120 CPU
MSI H61M-P21 B3 Motherboard
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
Diamond HD Radeon 6770 1GB GPU
Seagate 250 GB SATA 7200 RPM HD
ASUS SATA DVD-RW Drive
Thermaltake Purepower 2.0 600 Watt PSU
I previously had a ASRock board that wouldn't detect my video card, or any others I had here to try, so I bought this one. With the ASRock board, I could boot to Windows just fine with onboard video, so I think everything is working fine.
Things I have tried:
Resetting CMOS
Trying each stick of RAM separately
Using onboard GPU (same exact errors)
Trying different monitors
I'm out of ideas, and I'm not even sure if I can take the board back. Any help is greatly appreciated!

It has completed POST when you get to the A3 code. AA is the one that is shown once in the OS. Those aren't errors, just the normal progression codes thru the POST process.
A3 it's now looking for the OS. You can't migrate the OS from another system & expect it to work in the new one. Also, did you install the OS in AHCI? Then you must have the SATA controller set to AHCI & not in IDE mode.
Added: What keyboard & mouse are used? F-Lock on the keyboard enabled? How many USB devices or add-in cards are being used?
