Problem with B75MA-P45

Guys:
I've got a B75MA-P45 LGA 1155 with an intel core I5 3450, but I want to install win7, appears error 0xc00000e9 and then reboot.
The hard disk is a Western digital WD5000AAKX 500 GB 7200 16 MB Sata 3, new.
In the BIOS, I changed from SATA to IDHE in advanced options, and then I could install windows.
The questions is why that happens?

Yes. But it doesn´t work.
I Tried to install win7 in the HD, but in my old PC, and It worked.
When I conected the HD to B75MA-P45, It stop in starting windows, and reboot.
After that, I changed the BIOS config (IDHE to SATA in advanced options), and windows worked.
I think that shouldn't happen....

  • Problem with MSI P45 Platinum DDR2 mainboard and Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D Ram

    Hi, I have encountered with a problem.
    First I had
    MSI p45 platinum ddr2 bios ver. 1,4
    Intel E8400
    Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D 2x1Gb
    2 Asus ATI EAH 3870 Crossfire
    and it was running with windows XP without any problems.
    Problems began when I decided to upgrade to 6Gb of ram and to install Vista 64. Ram modules witch I bought are the same Corsair Dominator PC8500C5D, but 2x2GB.
    When i put them together adjust voltage 2.1v and timing 5-5-5-15 they fail mem test with huge amount of errors.
    when I test only 2x2gb modules memtest sometimes doesn't open at all, sometimes just stops working on 8 minutes of test. couple of times they completed memtest without any errors.
    Can someone advice what should I do and what could the problem?
    Thank you for your answers.

    1) the modules are not the same (the DDR2 chips are different)
    2) as general rule, mixing 2x1GB with 2x2GB is a bad idea.

  • Problem with dual channel memory (B75MA-P45)

    Hello,
    I can't make the dual channel memory working.
    When I put DDR3 in slots 2 + 4 or slots 1 + 3 and even if all slots are installed with the same DIMM, it does not boot and restart in loop.
    Currently, this mobo works with DDR3 in slots 1 + 2 (so without dual channel).
    I have read posts about bent pins, therefore I inspected the CPU seating but nothing seems wrong.
    My CPU has been recovered from a HP pavilion ; don't know whether it's important or not.
    Hope someone has a tip for me.
    My configuration:
    Motherboard: B75MA-P45
    CPU: i5-2320
    Memory: tried several, finally tested 4 x 4GB Kingston PC3-10600 CL9 240 (KVR13N9S8/4)
    Graphic card: Palit GeForce GTX-750 Ti

    Thanks for your answers.
    I'll try asap slots 3 & 4.
    It's almost a new build (one month ago). The whole story is:
    I bought the motherboard and two memory sticks of 2 and 4 GB DDR3 as I already had similar ones on my HP pavilion (but not exactly the same, not same brand). I expected to run on 12 GB dual channel memory. But the dual channel did not work at first try. After some additionnal testing, I tought it was because the sticks aren't compatible ones with others. So I purchased 3 sticks of Kingston 4 GB, exactly the same reference as one I already have.
    Now, I'm pretty sure that this problem isn't related to memory sticks.
    I already did a clear CMOS during installation for other reason but it didn't solve this problem.
    Since, this PC works well with Win7. I tested it under considerable stress and it runs just fine.

  • B75MA-P45 with celeron g1610?

    I bought IB Celeron G1610, and planning to buy B75MA-P45. My question is will it work with this MB? On CPU support list, for this board, is not listed, maybe the list isn't populated or something...

     Best to ask MSI.    http://us.msi.com/service/PreSaleForm/
     That CPU was released this year, last BIOS update for that MB was December of last year so no telling whether that CPU would work or not, probably not or if it does it would not be fully supported and would possibly have problems with it.
     Edit: I just did a bit of a search at MSI and from the list of MB's that support that CPU I found this B75 part of the list:
        B75A-E33
        B75A-G41
        B75A-G43
        B75IA-E33
        B75MA-E33
        B75MA-G43
        B75MA-P45
     So apparently it is supported and MSI has not updated CPU support list since Dec last year.

  • Problem with P45 Platinum during POST

    Good day! 
    I have MSI P45 Platinum mainboard and from to time to time it freezes during POST with AMI bios POST code - 423C. This happens right after the message that "4096MB OK" and before the detection of SATA/IDE drives.  When this happens, the only way to make the system run is to turn off the power (pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del of Reset would result in the same error)  - after that the POST procedure finishes correctly and I don't experience any problems afterwards (system is rock-solid after POST completion).
    So my question is - can anyone explain me what does this post code mean (D-Leds are not much of a help)? Is this a mobo problem or may be there is some kind of incompatibility with my hardware. I should mention also that I've tried all versions of Bios both official and beta without any success.
    This problem does not trouble me that much (doesn't happen often), but still I would like to understand what may cause it.
    P.S. My system config - iC2D E8300/MSI P45 Platinum/4x1Gb DDR2-800 Geil Black Dragon (5-5-5-15)/MSI Radeon 4870 1Gb OC edition/HDD 250 Gb WD + 120Gb Seagate/SB Audigy 4/DVD-RW Asus 1814/PSU TT Toughpower 700w (w0105)
    Thanx in advance and please excuse my poor English   

    Thank you for the reply!

    What is your current BIOS Version?
    I've recently flashed the latest beta bios version - 1,5 beta 6... but it produces the same error as did the latest official bios v1.4 
    Quote from: Jack the Newbie
    Does the same problem occur with only one memory module installed?
    I don't know actually. But thanks for pointing this out  - I will test the system with one (and then with two) module(s). I've tested the modules with the memtest86+ software (the latest version, which supports P45 chipset) several times and it showed no errors. So the modules are OK and they worked without any problems with my previous mb (Gigabyte P35-DS3).
    Quote from: Jack the Newbie
    What do the POST-Status LEDs of the board tell you, when the system freezes at the described stage?
    Well, I guess I don't fully understand what does the combination of LEDs tell during the freeze. I'll try to describe the combination -
    LED12 - OFF           LED13 - GREEN
    LED8 - RED             LED7 - OFF
    LED14 - OFF           LED10 - GREEN
    LED15 - RED           LED11 - OFF
    In mobo's manual this diagnostic LEDs are grouped in 4 groups and the description of the group that most closely resembles my case is - "Testing base and Extended memory etc." But I'm not sure that I'm identifying the problem correctly, because of the LEDs that are OFF.
    Quote from: Jack the Newbie
    Are you experiencing any freeze and/or stability problems appart from the described problem?
    No, as I said in my initial post, once it get past this stage everything is running smoothly - OS boots and all software, including the most demanding games or tests, are running OK.

  • Having problem with extra DDR2 for P45 Neo2

    Having problem with adding more DDR2 to my P45 Neo2. I currently have 2x hyperx 2gb ram installed, but I would like to take it up to 8gb. I had purchased another set, installed and pc wouldn't load. I installed these into another pc and they worked fine. What am I missing? I have tried googling but cannot find the solution to my question.According to MSI it will take DDR2 800/1066/1200. It does not mention what module name it takes eg pc 5300, which I'm quite sure are the ones installed. I have just updated the bios to the most recent should this help?

    Guessing you have all RAM related settings as "auto"?
    Does the PC work with your new set only?
    You may need to set the RAM timings&voltage manually in BIOS to common factors
    that are valid for both your new and old RAM kits.
    These settings you will do with your old kit in place, save in BIOS, exit and power down.
    Insert the new kit in addition, see if it POSTS. May take a few tests to succeed.
    CPU-Z program can help to figure some of the parameters.

    The problem is that my new R9 290 doesnt work on the first comp. When pressing the power button the fan of the GPU is maxing and makes alot of noise. Connecting my monitor to the onboard GPU i see the comp is working and is booting into windows. Updating the Bios didnt work and chosing PEG instead of IGP doesnt matter.
    To check if the R9 290 is working i put it in comp2. It boots normally, and no problems. I began to wonder if the PSU of comp1 is the problem.
    So i Changed the PSU of comp2 to comp1 and pushed the power button. Same as before: alot of noise and not working.
    Meanwhile it Boots into windows. Connecting my monitor to the onboard video I can see it boots into windows. But  I dont see the R9 290 at all in the hardware device list.
    My first conclusion: The XFX R9 290 isnt recognized by the B75MA-P45 Motherboard at all, even when i switch the PSU from comp2.
    I need the card to work on comp 1 because that is my computer. (Comp2 I borrowed from a friend for testing).

  • MSI P45-C51 (Problems With 4GB DDR3 1333)

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my motherboard P45-C51.
    According to test reports, this motherboard supports 4GB DDR3 modules (1333).
    msi.com/file/test_report/TR10_1836.pdf
    Data specifically are:
    Model: Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G
    Size: 4GB
    2 DIMMs: V
    4 DIMMs: V
    R.S.T: OK
    In the absence of stock the store, I bought a similar one:
    Fury HiperX DDR 3 1333 (HX313C9F/4)
    however, the motherboard does not recognize the memory (when I turn on the computer, 3 beeps sound and restarts, return to ring 3 times and then restarts and so on)
    With 2 GB DDR3 1333 DIMM working properly.
    I have last Bios v5.7
    I found an online store the specified memory for my motherboard (Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G) but want to be 100% sure it worked properly before buying.
    Thnks.

    hi,
    With Fury HiperX DDR 3 1333 (HX313C9F / 4) i deleted the CMOS but I did not recognize. After much searching, I concluded that the problem could come from the distribution of the chips.
    The Kingston (Fury HiperX DDR3 - 1333 - HX313C9F/4) memory have 512Mbx8 Chips (single-sided)
    The G.Skill Ripjaws (F3-10666CL7D-8GBRH) memory have 256Mbx16 Chips (in two sided)
    With G.Skill The mbo detect the memory and boot normally. No necesary delete CMOS.
    The only problem is latency, latency detects and configures it is nine. However, changing the latency in the BIOS manually to seven working properly.
    Thnks.

    Question:
    The first time you took the board in did they replace it on the spot or did you have to wait for a few days?
    If I may ask where did you purchase the board?
    they tested it, bought it online so it took some days for the package to go and return. They also tested the board.
    Quote from: Alex.Ethuba on 06-August-09, 02:27:46
    When did you buy the board?
    Bought it last month, and the board is new I think because I forgot to return the bracket(got one in the replacement) and the box isn't teared like the one I turned in ...

  • MSI Motherboard B75MA-P45 (Cold Boot up)

    I am having a problem with booting up first thing in the morning. When I power-up my computer will start to and then shut down. If I reset or manually hit the power button after that it will work fine for the rest of the day. The problem occurs only when the computer has been shut down for five hours or more. Does anyone have an idea why this is happening? My motherboard is a B75MA-P45.

    Make sure this is your board: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/B75MA-P45.html#/?div=BIOS
    IF so, >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    Use option 1 of the tool and point it at the compressed archive I attached then at your fat 32 formatted usb stick.
    Then boot to the usb stick and proceed with flash.
    If no help, let us know more info.

    I want to thank you for all the help. As of now this has seemed to do the trick. Turned on computer this morning without a problem.

  • MSI B75MA-P45 "Reboot and Select proper Boot device"

    Hey guys, I just had this PC delivered to me yesterday, pre-built after my specs. Been using their company for a decade and never had an issue (that said, they might very well have screwed up this time, but I would love some feedback).
    So, when I plug in the PC and boot it it get stuck at "Reboot and Select proper Boot device" (and in the bottom right it blink between A2/B4 before it gets to the reboot prompt).
    What I have done to try to fix this:
    1) Go into BIOS and swap around the boot order. No luck with that, and I cannot find the SSD HD on the list either.
    2) Confirmed it was set on AHCI mode.
    3) Booted with the MSI Motherboard CD to get to Winki. In the Winki file manager I do see the SSD HD with Windows installed! But the BIOS cannot find it.
    The specs:
    Board: MSI B75MA-P45
    Bios: E7798IMS V1.5
    VGA: ASUS Geforce GTX660Ti
    PSU:  Corsair CX 500
    Intel Core i7-3770
    Corsair Cooling Hydro H55
    RAM: Corsair XMS3 Vengeance CL9
    Samsung SSD 840 Series 120 GB
    Seagate Barracuda 2TB
    Win 8
    So I'm left a bit dumbstruck here. It seems quite clear the BIOS cannot find the SSD for some reason, but I'm not sure how to sort this?
    I mean: I do see Windows in the Winki file manager, so the HD is clearly there and readable. But on the other hand it cannot find it in the BIOS so I can't choose it as a boot drive.
    Any suggestions on what might cause this and how I could solve it?
    Thank you.

    Wow, that was easier than I thought.. after hours of browsing internet, trying all kinds of BIOS settings, eventually I just opened the case and plugged out the SATA cables and plugged them back in. Boom, it works. Didn't expect it to be that easy since the Winki still could see the HD.
    Seems BIOS is more sensitive than the Winki. But there you go, problem solved.

  • MSI B75MA-P45 -- No POST beep

    So this is my first build and my configurations are
    Intel i5 3570
    Corsair vengeance 4 GB DDR3
    Corsair CX600W PSU
    Cooler master HAF 912 Combat cabinet
    Nvidia GTX 660(Yet to be delivered)
    Seagate barracuda 1 TB
    So,I breadboarded my motherboard with the CPU,heatsink,RAM and PSU.
    I fired it up and there was no POST beep on the speaker.
    Then I removed the RAM and I got 3 long beeps which means bad memory.
    So,my question is that what is the culprit? I guess if it can manage to give 3 long beeps for no RAM,the processor is fine.
    The leftover parts are PSU,mobo and RAM.I am yet to borrow a RAM from my friend and PSU seems fine as there was very less load on it(not even a GPU).
    Is there anyone with a B75MA-P45 who faced anything like that? Can this really be a bad mobo? The caps seem fine and theres no point of static flowing into it.
    Also,the fans attatched to the motherboard powerup as well so this might mean that power is being supplied to motherboard and it isn't short.
    Please reply soon as I'm really worried and pissed off on this problem :|

    So,yesterday I wrote about how I couldn't get a POST beep.Now,things got worse.Today when I tried to power up the PC..it didn't :\ No cabinet fans spinning,no CPU fan snipping..NOTHING.
    I removed the front panel headers and short the board manually to power it up but still the same.
    PSU could have been bad but I tried the paper-clip method and the PSU's fan was working on when I used that method.
    I have already applied for a replacement but as of now I would like to diagnose the problem.As with the paper-clip method,I short the 24 pin power plug.So,that means that 24-pin cable is working.
    That comes down to either the 24-pin socket OR ATX 4 pin cable/SOCKET which is beside the processor.As I have a ATX 4x4 pin cable I tried to use both of them but to no avail.
    That lowers down to the ATX 4 pin socket.So,that got screwed?
    The last time I powered up my PC was yesterday by breadboarding it.After that I placed it back into the cabinet.
    What are your thoughts on this one? Can you suggest me something to make it working again? Will CMOS reset help in such case?
    And is it normal that my ATX 24 pin power cable has 23 wires?
    Please reply as soon as possible.

  • B75MA-P45 BIOS Update

    I wonder if someone could shed some light on this for me. I currently have a B75MA-P45 mainboard, or MS-7798 as live update labels it. Currently it doesnt allow me to get into the bios with my logitech usb keyboard and I have to plug in a ps2 one which kinda irritates me. Having flashed a great many bioses in the past I thought this should be relatively easy. Oh how wrong was I ?
    So first of all I install live update from the website which comes under my board section so should in theory work, but when I download all the drivers and click bios II it informs me that it doesnt support that board. ? similarly when I try and execute msi control centre it tells me it doesnt support this board.
    So I read in the bios something about winki being able to do it, so I download the image, burn it, start it up and then winki tells me it doesnt support this board.
    How is all this possible when I download them from the msi site under my board section? Really, is there not a simple way to do this ?!?!?!
    I haven't tried usb stick yet because I dont have one, but I just can't believe there isn't a windows flasher that will work.

    Well most of those options mean I have to go and spend money on a usb stick just to upgrade the bios, which I've never had to before. And sure I'll probably get loads of flamers telling me how cheap they are but that's very much besides the point. I've flashed plenty of motherboards from windows before now without incident, you can always verify it before you reboot.
    And besides, this does not explain the why it is that click bios 2, control centre and winki all say they do not support my board, and yet they were downloaded from the boards section on the msi site.
    Any explanation for this ?
    I also flashed lot of boards before without problem but my last try using a windows and this "great" live update utility lead to a bricked board and it was not my fault. I've got BSOD so there was no way to go back. So many things can happen in windows so my recommendation after this xperience is to never flash the bios in windows! The board is now at manufacturer to reflash the chip... A moth lost for me...
