RADEON 7950 WONT BOOT WITH P67A-GD65

Just got a new ATI Radeon HD7950 graphics card a couple of days ago and it refuses to even boot in my main PC (Intel i7-2700K, MSI P67A-GD65).
Won't even get into BIOS. Just black screen.
Updated to latest BIOS. Still nothing.
Today I have tried the card in an older PC (Intel Q6600, ASUS Maximus Formula) and it works just fine.
So I thought it might have been a power supply issue so I swapped the power supply from old PC into my new PC, but it still didn't work.
So now I think its an incompatibility with the MSI P67A-GD65 motherboard.
Note: Previous graphics card was ATI Radeon 6870 which is still working fine with P67A-GD65.
Can anyone suggest why this graphics card won't boot with the P67A-GD65?

What OS are you running? UEFI/BIOS version? CPU? Is this an MSI graphics card? If not, have you visited with the card manufacturer for any available information they may have?
Too much time passed for me to edit and delete this question of CPU, as you did list it.

  • MSI p67a-gd53 (b3) Wont boot with ram in slot 1 and 3, or 2 and 4.

    Hi i recently built my own system, with just one ram stick in it boots fine and everything.
    When i try to put the other stick in slot for so that in runs dual channel it just wont boot, it turns on starts the fans up and then just goes off, and repeats this.
    The ram i have is Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit.
    It also doesnt work in slots 2 and 4, can anyone help me :(?
    My setup is :
    OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
    Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
    MSI P67A-GD53 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
    MSI ATI Radeon HD 6870 OC HAWK 1024MB
    Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB
    Seagate Barracuda 500gb HD
    Gets no beeps on boot with just one stick in, im really confused :s
    All Help will be appreciated.

    Both ram sticks worked in slot one and it would boot but I tried running a game and it froze each occasion, cud this be due to the ram being dual channel and only having one in? Or that the ram has the wrong settings.
    I have returned the motherboard along with the ram to the shop i got it from for tests to see if the dimm slots had problems. Il let you guys know what they say.
    Thanks for the advice, when I get it back il build it again and see if it runs fine, if not il try the things youve said.
    Can anyone else shed any light on this? Any other things I may have to try?
    Thx again

  • 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?

  • Radeon 7950 wont work in primary Z77 Mpower PCI 3.0 Slot?! Help!

    I bought an MSI Z77 Mpower motherboard with I7 3770K and HIS Radeon 7950 ICEq Boost Edition 3gb back in January.
    Ever since I built the computer it WILL NOT boot up with the GPU card in the first/primary PCI 3.0 slot of the motherboard, it just startsup with a black screen, no bios, post or anything. Just a black screen with the fans going.
    This card will boot up perfectly fine in the middle PCIe slot. But it runs slower in this slot, at PCIe x2 3.0.
    I had the card RMA'd at the time and it came back as fine, and it works in my brothers computer too.
    It just WILL not work in the first PCIe slot on the Z77 Mpower.
    My much older Radeon 4850 works perfectly fine in the primary/first PCIe slot, and computer boots and works as normal.
    So it seems to be a Z77 mpower - HD 7950 incompatibility?
    Can anyone advise on this because its doing my head in?!
    BIOS is flashed to the latest version as of yesterday and still no joy.
    Many thanks
    Chris

    I'd love to swap to Z77-Mpower, but it doesn't have any PCI slot needed for my M-Audio sound card ;-)
    I forgot to mention when we've been checking hardware: if I were you, I'd swap HIS 7950 to another 7950 (Asus, MSI, preferably Sapphire, whatsoever) to check compatibility instead of selling out motherboard. It's great piece of hardware, so I'd blame graphic card first than motherboard - for incompatibility. HIS is one of the cheapest vendors (not the cheapest, like VTX3D for example), so maybe it was a reason.
    It's a proof that M-Power works with other 7950s:

    I hope you'll find a proper solution, Asus motherboard is one of the options, too - but it requires main drivers reinstall (graphic card requires just Catalyst reinstal AFAIK).

  • USB enumeration takes up to 20 seconds after wakeup or bios boot on P67A-GD65

    Hi all,
    Just bought my new rig. It is described in my signature. Unfortunately I found two issues with my current setup. The first issue is in a separate post.
    I'm using a P67A-GD65 motherboard. My USB keyboard and mouse are immediately detected the first time I start up my computer (cold boot), but when I do a suspend (to S3) and resume it usually takes quite a while before the mouse and keyboard are enumerated again. I can see this as the mouse and keyboard light up when they are ready for use. It sometimes takes up to 20 seconds, but the delay differs everytime. Occacionally the mouse and keyboard are immediately lighting up after I press the resume button, which is the behaviour you expect. On my previous pc I never had issues with enumeration after a resume.
    When I restart the PC, the bios usually gets stuck in Post code B4 (USB HOTPLUG) for quite a while as well. It is probably trying to enumerate the mouse and keyboard. This can also take up to 10 seconds. During a cold boot this does not happen and B4 is completed instantly.
    This issue is quite annoying, as I have to wait for quite a while before I can use my keyboard and mouse after I wakeup the PC. It beats the principle of instant-on, and sometimes it is faster to cold-boot the thing.
    I tried both V1.7, V1.8 and V1.9B1 bioses.
    When I disconnect one of the devices (only mouse, or only keyboard), the enumeration is usually quicker, but still takes up to 5 seconds.
    Could this be a bug in the Sandybridge chipset (it is not stepping B3), or is it something in the BIOS? Are any others having this issue and found a solution?

    I've red through the P67 errata about USB and all of them have the status "No Plan to Fix". As being quite familiar with the USB 2.0 specification (I've once written an USB driver for an embedded system myself) I do not see any issues mentioned that could be related to enumeration problems during cold boot or resume. This seriously doubts me that the B3 release will fix my issue.
    I will also put this problem in MSI support, but knowing how they did reply in my other issue report about the mouse not working in my BIOS I'm not so sure if they will take it seriously....

  • Help with P67A-GD65

    Hi everyone, just wanted some advise please, i have ordered the parts for my new gaming pc (This is my first build)
    I have ordered the MSI  P67A-GD65 motherboard and after doing some research i getting worried that my CPU cooler won't clear my ram.
    I have the coolermaster V6GT CPU cooler and the G.Skill RipJawX 4GB DDR3 kit
    I just wanted to know if anyone else has this board RAM and cooler ?
    If not could i get some advise on wether i should change my CPU cooler to some thing like the Akasa AK-CCX-4002HP Venom CPU Cooler ?
    Or could i move my RAM into slots 2 and 4 ? would this work or would the system not boot properly ? (sorry first build )
    Thanks to anyone that helps

    Well, that's what I get for not doing the testing myself! The P67A-GD65 'does' boot with a stick in the dimm 2 black slot, & then with a second stick placed in the other black slot. However, the manual is specific about initial startup with a RAM stick in dimm 1, which is of course the first blue slot next to the CPU. Without starting from scratch again, I can't verify initial build startup with a stick in the dimm 2 black slot will work or not. I guess if someone tries it, & it fails, obvious move would be to go to the dimm 1 & give it a go. Trouble is, I can't go back & edit my posts now to correct them.
    Ha, it's OK, I read the same thing in the manual.  The manual certainly doesn't leave any room for assumption, it flat out states you should use 1 & 3.

  • Comp wont boot with ram in any slots besides 1&3 no matter what, faulty board?

    Ok i've tried pretty much everything, got latest bios, changed timings to everything but the comp just wont boot if I have any ram in slots 2&4. Actually got the comp to boot up with ram in slots 1&2 once, but tried with all 4 slots filled and didn't work, and after that slot 2 didn't work again.
    Could it be a faulty board? I know it's not the ram.

    Ahh, turns out you were right tiresmoke.
    Even though I thought I had 4 sticks that were exactly the same..one wasn't. 3 of them are xms32004.1 0427033 - 0...the one i've always had in my comp is 5.1 0430069 - 1. Put in 2 of the 4.1 and was able to run dual channel np. That explains why one time I was able to run dual channel then switch the ram and couldn't..had no idea there was minor differences..and have no idea why I got 3 of one kind and 1 of another when I orderd the 4 sticks.
    Going to try and exchange the 4 sticks for 2 1 gig sticks..how good is neweggs return policy heh? Been like nearly 2 months..

  • P35 Neo FR wont boot with 1066 Ram

    Hi Guys,
    I have a problem with a new build.  The specs are
    P35 Neo FR
    E8400 (not overclocked)
    2 gb Crucial Balistax tracer 1066 Ram
    XFX 7900GS card
    450W PSU
    It will boot and I have been into windows to which all seems fine, however I have an issue.
    1. The BIOS and CPU-Z are showing my ram at 667.  I have manually adjusted it to 5-5-5-15 and set the divider so it should be running 1066.  However it wont boot and goes into the re-boot over and over and over and over and over again "mode".  This can only be rectified by re-setting the CMOS and then it will boot with its origional 4-4-4-24 timing @ 667.  I have checked the voltages and they make no difference.  It will only boot when the LED's on both ram sticks are lighting up on first power up.  Ram has been tested in another PC and doesnt seem an issue. 
    Bios is 1.5 I think.  Should I flash and go to 1.8?
    I will also try the Mobo, PSU, HD and GPU without anything else attatched to see if there is a problem
    Also, 1 stick of ram at a time to see if thats causing an issue.
    I would appreciate any suggestions 
    Thanks

    Which FSB/Memory Ratio did you choose in BIOS?
    Does it work, if you choose the divider for DDR2-800 MHz?
    What is the memory voltage recommended for these modules @1066 MHz effective speed?
    Did you try with one stick of RAM only?
    Thanks for the quick reply
    I think the divider was 1.1-6?  I will confirm in a couple of hours once I am home. It works at 1-1 but the speed was 400mhz.  It also ran at 667. Whatever that divider was.
    I am going to try the one memory module test tonight and I will also report on that and the DDR800 settings.
    http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=BL2KIT12864AL1065  Is my ram and its rated at 2.2V
    Thanks in advance and I will update in the next few hours.

  • Temps with P67A-GD65 (B3)

    I have a MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) with a 2500K. I'm using 16 GB of Ripjaw memory and a NH-D14 heatsink/fan.  In the BIOS, I get a temp of 49-50 degrees C.  In core temp, I get 32-38 degrees.  Which is the correct temp and why would there be a difference?  I've read that the windows program temp is correct but a friend who is an IT guy said the BIOS temp is the correct o0ne.  So I'm somewhat confused.  Can some one explain these temps for me.  Thanks
    Edit:  I am getting those temps using OC Genie.

     Temperature is higher when in BIOS and will go down after OS is loaded, is normal. On mine I think is about 10C difference.

  • Comp wont boot with ram in any slots besides 1&3

    No idea why...have 4 of the exact same ram and i've mixed and matched so it's not the ram..if I put ram in slot 2 or 4 the comp just wont boot.
    Anyone know what is causing this? Thanks in advance

  • MacBook wont boot with a USB HDD attached

    The problem I am experiencing is that I bought a USB 2 HDD (500gb lacie) and I formatted it to 2 partitions but now when I try to boot up my MacBook, it wont go past the grey screen (no Apple logo). If I remove the usb hdd it works again and boots to Leopard. And for some odd reason when I'm in Leopard and after the boot crazyness, if I replug it in, it wont recognise the drive at all, I have to disconnect the power cable and plug it back in to see the drive again.. Is there a work-around for this, 'cause I dont want to be playing with the cables everytime I have to reboot...

    Ah! Then I'm sure that both devices would need Windows drivers!
    Maybe there are some later drivers for the webcams...

  • Event ID 41 Kernel- Power and Memory Issues with P67A-GD65

    Alright guys, the reason I'm starting this topic is because I have recently bought an i7-2600K, 8GB (2GBx4) Corsair Dominator CMP4GX3M2A1600C8, a Radeon HD 6970 for an update to my system, I also have an Intel X-25M First Generation 80GB SSD as the boot drive and then 2 Western Digital Black Cavier 1TB storage drives. I currently have OC Genie turned on and my processor is OCed to 4.2GHZ, I have a Zalman 9900Max air cooler on it and my usual processor temp is 34C. Basically every once and a while I'm get Blue Screens on my system, Windows Event Viewer Tags it as Event ID 41 Kernel-Power, I've also gotten PFN_LIST_CORRUPT while playing Crysis once. I'm wondering if it's memeory so I'm about to run my system through MemTest and see what it turns up. So here are my reasons for this post.
    1. MSI's website lists only triple channel memeory for corsair for this board which of course is dual channel, so does anyone have a recommendations on memory if I do have to switch them out which I would hate to leave corsair.
    2. Has anyone else had this problem with their system?
    Thanks guys

  • H9-1150 PC wont Boot with WIndows 7 Premium 64 bit with ASUS 960 GTX Card.

    I saw others have posted simular issues but i thought id repost this again in case there is more help.  I have the Pavalion Elite Phonix h9-1150 desktop with Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit.  and the HP 7.07 bios (seems no way to upgrade  the bios).
    The issue is like others have had i install the new graphics card the Asus 960 GTX Card which came out last month and the system starts up  gives about 3 beeps in about 30 seconds each and then it goes to a black screen with a blinking curser and nothing else happens. cant enter bios or  the HP settings..
    I did try to disable UEFI boot devices in the bios settings and only enable legacy devices (after switching back to my original card then switching to the new card) but it still gives the 3 beeps upon booting.   However i was able to enter windows. though i think it may be due to shutting off the computer with the old card in without powering down first. and  after the 3 beeps happens (which still locks you out of the bios menu) it shows up the window where you can select safe mode or normal mode.. as sometimes happens if you boot up your computer with windows 7 if you had just turned it off without powering down or something.  Through that i am able to enter windows and run the PC and graphics card with no issue its just when i try to boot the issue happens.
    and No HP suppor it is NOT a defect with the Card itself. Like many before. i bought a EVGA Card a while back a 780 GTX and the SAME issue happend (though i didnt try the removing the UEFI boot devices then) ...
    There is a spacific issue with HP computers that seem to lock out "new" hardware from booting.
    Honestly ill be blunt. I really think this is poor doings I read somewhere that while HP will never state it they do this on purpose to prevent people messing up warrenty or any "liabity" occuring by people installing other hardware onto HP stock computers
    that makes no since to me.  the PC SHOULD be able to run the card. in fact its running it now once i was able to bypass the lock out (temporarly)  check benchmarks everyhting is fine the card runs 3 times faster  then the old one (as should be the case).
    But its just this lockout that HP for some reason has installed on their bios/motherboards that is the issue.
    Good news is i got it from amazon and i have about a month till i have to return it. which i think this time i will do.  to see if anything crops up in a month or something.
    The ONLY solution it seems HP offically has is that to disable secure boot under windows 8
    but this is not a windows 8 computer. and i do assume even if iINSTALL windows 8 . the issue would not go away because since its an older bios there would be no way to have a secure boot option to remove?
    HP you really need to get on the ball and give us a direct reply on this.  Is there ANY WAY to fix this? Can you not simply  make a update of older bioses to allow this? Or do you just not want to worry about older pCs?
    either way i think this is wrong and very frustrating and to be honest. If this is the case when my pc otherwise SHOULD run the card
    its a PCI express 16x slot that is 3.0
    here is the deetailed specs as per your page
    http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03273835
    the card SHOULD WORK fine.  I thought the 780 GTX was a bit too much for the PC as it had more then a six pin port and needed a bit more power so at first i thought that was the issue. so i returned it. and got this new card now.
    however the ASUS 960 GTX card requires the SAME power supply as the default GTX 550 Ti card and the SAME SIX PIN connector
    so it SHOULD work.
    and benchmarks show that it DOES its just the stupid bios ..that is having the issue.
    i am afraid to power down the computer at the moment and try again to see if windows boots normally after disabling the UEPI boot devvices because it may not boot  properly.......
    HP you are one of the biggest suppliers of computers you know technology these are YOUR computers.  WHY cant you give us a direct awnser over this.
    ITS VERY frustrating
    and to be honest if i cannot resolve this issue i am very hestient to ever buy another HP product if their computers spacifically have this new hardware lockout mode.
    because i have the card running now on my pc it runs great! 3 times faster as it should! and yet i know in the back of my mind if i cant figure out this issue likely ill just have to send it back.........least i have some time.
    and right now i dont have the money to buy a new pc . this PC is JUST fine for what i need for now other then wanting a bit better card...
    it shoudnt be this much of a hassle should it?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    You need the BIOS update that is listed under Windows 8 in order to support the newer graphics.   You need to upgrade to Windows 8 or temporarily install Windows 8 so that you can install the BIOS update.  While there may be other ways to install the BIOS update, clearly having Windows 8 running will be the safest way.  The version 8 BIOS is your best chance at getting the newer graphics cards to work.
    You can trial Windows 8 Enterprise for 90 days.
    If you decide to install W8, then create the HP external recovery media and backup your data before you do anything.
    The reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.
