Random lock ups with MSI P67A-GD65 (B3). Please help!

Hello all,
I just built a new system with the following components:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Thermaltake Black Widow W0319RU 850W ATX 12V  PSU
Antec Lanboy air case
2X Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB in RAID0 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
This was supposed to be my dream computer, but it has turned into a nightmare! It locks up constantly.  Usually the mouse pointer will disappear and the computer will just freeze up.  This normally seems to occur after the computer has been idle for a while.  I have read that there might be compatibility issues with the MSI P67A-GD65 and the GTX 570 video cards.  Can anyone confirm this?  Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?  The only thing event viewer is showing is the unexpected shutdown when I have to power cycle it.  Thanks in advance!

That can happen, & it can really mess things up if two kits are attempted to be run together. The platform is DDR3 1333 as to native support by the CPU IMC. If the system can't run on 1333 RAM speed at CR 1, 9 9 9 24 @ 1.50v's, then something is wrong. No system should ever have to use an OC (or X.M.P.) as a workaround to make it work. That's why I recommended the Crucial 1333. Plug one stick in the blue primary dimm slot to get everything loaded & checked out, & go from there.
Exactly which SATA ports are you using for the HDD's & RAID? White Marvell or Intel SATA III, or the black SATA II? 
Unfortunately, my local shop didn't have the Crucial, so I grabbed the Corsair instead.  The Velociraptors are running from SATA 1 and 2 (the top white connectors).  I also have 2X HITACHI Deskstar 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s running in RAID0 from SATA 3 and 4 for storage (this computer is intended for HD video editing, compositing in After Effects, etc.).  Sorry I forgot to mention that in the original post!

  • Lock Ups with MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR [Resolved] thnx!

    Well this is a first for me and it is driving me nucking futs !,
    I have been building my own pc's for at least 10 years now and never had a problem where I have even needed to come to a forum like this.  So as I see there are some very helpful and knowledgable peeps (nice work guys) here I thought I would ask as I have read through all stickies etc... and have not actually seen an answer to the problems of locking up.  I am fast forming the opinion that this motherboard has a serious problem that MSI have not fixed yet.  Anyway here is some info on the spec and what I have tried so far :
    Have checked for viruses...
    Did a fresh format and re-install...
    Unplugged all that is not essential to run...
    Symptoms..
    Cannot write files to make a DVD in any authoring program.. it locks up after about 5 minutes
    Locks up in most Games, some run for 5 mins then other times run for hours
    Cannot run some setup.exe files (Like Zone Alarm Pro)
    Sometimes (locks up just surfing)
    Microsoft Word seems to mess up a lot and have to run the repair option..

    I am about seriously considering giving this board some cement legs and drowning it !  This is my first (and probably last) MSI board and cannot believe the problems so many seem to have.  Maybe best and quickest option is to do just that and go buy a decent board.
    Any help much appreciated.

    Hi,
    First of all thanks to all for the help, and CJLittle...LMAO !  My car is a Scooby and a nice blue paint job !  Believe it or not they assured me all this would work.. I bought it in one package and even questioned it.  Also to be fair up until then they had always been very good... shows they have no zero about 3200XP 200 fsbetc...  When I went back with the power supply and told them they changed it out and let me off on the extra money it should have been.
    The crashes are as follows :-
    [list=1]
    Locks up after random amounts of time in games, sometimes dont even get to load it up at all, other times I can play 2 hours.  When the games lock up usually there is a high pitch squeal and can only get out of it by reset or power off.
    I cannot install Zone Alarm Pro or Agnitum Outpost are 2 anyway (there are others) these just come up with the installer screen and hangs there, I have to go to Task Manager to close them down, unlike the lock up in games.
    The cooler is the Coolermaster Jet... and the temperature is more than acceptable (right now is 44 C) so I cannot see that at all being a factor.
    leds are on on the d bracket when it locks, I did not know of this function and will check it out. Thanks for that tip.[/list=1]
    Question from me: would the 2700 RAM cause these lockups ?  I would have thought it would just not work at all ?  If this is possible then I will go and change out the RAM as tuning it down to 166 (if it is possible) does not appeal to me !  But yes it may show what the problem is.
    Thanks again, will see what happens...

  • Overheating and Lock ups with MSI TI4200 128DDR

      This card seems to overheat and lock up during game play.
      Does anyone have a solution?
    My system:
    P4 1.8Ghz 512K
    Intel D845WNL
    512 Mb PC133
    SB Live 5.1
    MSI TI4200 128DDR
    WIN 98SE
    300W PSU in a standard P4 case
    No overclocking
    Currently I play games with the case open and an external fan blowing into it.
    This as fixed the problem.
    I looking for a permanent solution.
    Should I get a better PSU?
    ...or should I just get an ATI 9700 Pro

    From what you said your PSU is handling the load but having a dual fan PSU will help temps by maybe a degree or two.
    You may not have adequate ventilation and need to ad some fans to your case but that may be the straw that breaks the camels back if you are on the edge as far as adequate power is concerned.
    There are quite a few folks that run with the side covers off but you have to keep in mind the ambient temperature where the PC is being used in any case.
    So far my experience with GF4 cards is they inherently run hot and can raise the temp in your case several degrees. Nature of the beast.
    Bottom line, better cooling and airflow is paramount and take a look at the heatsink, it may have been mounted poorly...this happens with any manufacturer at times and I usually re-mount it with a thermal paste of my preference. Keep in mind you will probably void your warranty with the manufacturer should you need to return or RMA the product.

  • MSI p67a-GD65 system randomly shutsdown

    I'm completely heartbroken about my new build. Everything was running solid for about a month now and I have just started to experience random shutdowns. According to my BIOS, my 2600K is running at stock at around 55 C. I performed a stress test last night using prime95 and the system shut down as well, although speedfan and HWMonitor both only showed an increase from 40-50C to 60-70C. After it shuts down, the system is completely unresponsive and will not start back up until I unplug the system or turn off the power supply, after which it suddenly will start up again. In my opinion, that's an indicator of something as I thought it was completely dead.
     I have NO idea what could possibly be causing this issue. It could be heat, it could be my power supply, it could be my motherboard. How do I narrow this down?  
    Here's my build:
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB)
    ADATA S599 AS599S-64GM-C 2.5" 64GB
    Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
    Seasonic SS-850HT 850W ATX12V v2.31,EPS12V
    2x MSI R6970-2PM2D2GD5 Radeon HD 6970 2GB
    MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67
    COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus

    Quote
    One video card should be at around 200W - 210 W, so 400W for video cards.
    Make that 250W per card + 100 W for the processor, about 50A @12V.
    Quote
    I do have a 750W power supply.
    You mentioned other figures in your component overview:

    Seasonic SS-850HT 850W ATX12V v2.31,EPS12V
    So, what kind of PSU do you have?

    system is completely unresponsive and will not start back up until I unplug the system or turn off the power supply, after which it suddenly will start up again.
    Sounds like a PSU problem then.  Use a different one and/or test with one video card only.

  • Problem with downgrading bios. MSI P67A-GD65 (B3).

    Hi!
    I'm having problems with downgrading my bios from version 4.3 to 1.19. I want to downgrade, because 4.3 doesn't want to boot when I use xmp settings for my RAM ( that might be related to my CPU since I have i5 2500k which is 32nm and 4.3 version of BIOS is recommended for 22nm processors ). When I try to flash with the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool I'm getting an error: "Rom file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID". I've ran out of ideas how to downgrade my bios so I'm asking you for help. My specs:
    MOBO: MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
    CPU: INTEL CORE i5 2500K
    RAM: G.SKILL RIPJAWS X 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHZ CL6 (F3-12800CL6D-4GBXH)

    Here you go. GD65 and GD55 usde the same BIOS files;

  • Msi p67a gd65 with p67a gd80 beta bios

    hi to everyone here,
    i have purchased a pc and have a msi p67a gd65 mobo
    i noticed that on the actual mobo it clearly states its a p67a gd65 i have verified this , its defnately a gd65
    how ever, cpu z detects it as a p67a gd80, also command centre detects a p67a gd80, bios version is : P67A GD80 10.3b2
    so my mobo has a gd80 beta bios...
    i do not know how it came about as im not owner from new
     question 1 : all i need help with is flashing back to gd65 bios (bios  1.19 ]  , do i need to do a blind flash to force update ? and how do i do it ? because its gd65 not gd80
    question 2 : and also how do i check if both bios chips were flashed to this beta bios ?
    question 3 : do i flash both bios chips when i do the bios flash ?
    question 4 : how do i switch between the 2 bios chips ?
    sorry for all the questions, the main question is question 1
    thnx guys

    In my experience, for a 2700k, UEFI/BIOS v1.H proved to be the very best one.
     I would go ahead and use what P D says there, he did a lot of testing on his many builds the past few years and knows more about it that most other people.
     What I had in my last reply was just the basic required info you needed to answer question about 2700K support after going through 1/2 dozen lists needed to find my info.

  • Total lock-ups with fan running - translate system.log file please!?

    Hi, all. My late 2005 2.3 gig dual G5 has been experiencing random lock ups for as long as I can remember. My system is up to date and I have tested each pair of the 5 gigs of ram that I have and the system freezes with each pair. It can happen at any time, when I am doing absolutely nothing, for example, overnight. I am at my wits end!
    Here's the system log file for the latest freezes. Can anyone tell me what's going on here??? I really need to get to the root of this problem. Thanks so so much in advance.

    Hi-
    The machine seems to be having trouble with loading certain drivers, but, as this isn't a crash log, and doesn't show the "hang-up" or freeze, it's hard to tell.
    Noted possibilities are:
    -Microsoft keyboard (possible USB power problem)
    -firmtek driver (from archive) questionable due to the "archive" annotation
    -Wacom tablet driver, causing system problems
    Running in Safe mode without freezes would help to determine if one of these drivers is the problem.
    Other possibilities are outdated drivers, or simply a need to reinstall the OS.
    If unnecessary, removing the driver(s) would be a good idea.
    External USB and Firewire devices are all suspect, should all be disconnected, revert to Apple keyboard, and test system performance. Adding one device at a time, and testing each will be necessary to clear each device.
    I have experienced system trouble when a Wacom tablet was not connected, but the driver was left installed.
    Disabling the driver from Startup items may be necessary to test without the Wacom tablet connected.

  • Random Lock ups

    I'm using K9N2-SLI plat with Bios 3.5, AMD64 X2 6400+ Black Ed., 4GB ram (2x2GB Cas 4-4-4-12 T2 matched set), XFX 8800GTS(92) 512, Corsair TX650, Artic Cooler Freezer64 CPU H/S running Vista64 Home Premium Sp2. I'm having random lock-ups during 3D games. Sometimes it locks up after 30 mins in game or sometimes it locks up after days of playing, I can't get it to reproduce the lock up at will. I have read alot of post about this motherboard and it seems it comes down to power supply. I had a New Apevia Beast 2 rail system but after reading the posts I returned it for new Corsair TX650. At full load CPU cores never go above 47c and Idles around 30-31. Ran mem test over night with no errors. Did notice in Mem Test it stated Ram was set at Cas 4-5-5-18 T2. I went to BIOS and set the mem for Volt 2.0 Cas 4-4-4-12 T2. This did reduce the lock-ups to the point I thought I had it fixed. Than today I locked up twice. When it locks up computer becomes unresponsive last sound repeats for few seconds and the only way to resume is to press restart button. I have tried with Cool n'quite on and off, DOT is never been on. Computer runs fine in 2d operations. It's only when I go into 3d games. Video Card has been tested in other machine and is working fine. My game sometime requires me to stay logged in over night to Sell goods. Every morning this last week computer has froze sometime during the night. Crysis plays fine for hours, It seems it happens in not so demanding games, Aion, Knight Online and Wow. All power plugs are plugged, fresh install of Vista, Newest drivers from web site, Bios update via the Forum USB key app. Would really like a reliable computer. What am I missing? Let me know if you need any other info.

    OK I ran single stick and it locked up quicker. I went to BIOS used optimized defaults with only changing the volts to 2.0. and it locked up again. It's lockups seem longer if I change mem setting to 4-4-4-12 T2. I used CPU Z and noticed few things.
    The memory report from CPU-Z:

    since I was using EPP profile 1 I noticed that motherboard is running my memory at 4-4-4-12-24(EPP profile shows should be 22)-2T. Should I change to match memory? or should I try JEDEC #3 @ 400MHZ

  • P6N-SLI-FI Random Lock-ups

    Hi,
    New build listed below.  Works great 99% of the time.  The only issue I have is infrequent random lock-ups.  The lock-ups occur either during windows start-up, or randomly while doing some non-stressing task (like web browsing or word processing).  Currently at 2.4GHz, but have had it higher.  I lowered it to 2.4 to see if it made any difference, but it seems about the same.
    Since "lock-up" can mean a lot of different things I will describe it.  The screen freezes totally.  Does not respond to any input (CTR-ALT-DEL) etc.  It often seems to occur in the middle of HDD access, and the HDD light stays on continuously.  Hard reset is required to fix.
    It has not locked up during a game, burning or transcoding a DVD or when running any stress tests.  It happens VERY INFREQUENTLY (I just had my first one in about a week) and is not repeatable.  The only other bit of info I can come up with is that is seems that it usually occurs during HDD access, and the HDD light is stuck on.
    I almost wish I had the problem more often.  If I had this problem regularly I would feel pretty comfortable troubleshooting, but as it is I could spend a lot of time changing things around and "think" I fixed it only to have it come back a week later.
    My thoughts are either a RAM issue or my PSU.  Thoughts?

    Do you have all the necessary options for overclocking disabled, C1E, EIST, all the spread spectrums. Also what are your cpu voltage and NB voltage set at...those two seem to have the most effect on system stability when ocing. Also what are your memory settings... I have your same memory and it refuses to work at anything but its advertised setting (800mhz at 4-4-4-15)

  • 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....

    Quote
    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.

  • MSI P67A-GD65 infinite boot/loop problem

    installed everything into my case and go to boot into the UEFI and nothing !
    i press the power switch, everything starts fine and the fans spin up and the LED's on the board are fine, waits 5 secs then it shuts itself off and tries the exact same process again. it keeps doing this until i cut the power !
    i've checked the 24pin etc, KB & mouse r fine, 2 different sets off RAM in every slot, cleared CMOS (i think).
    seems like a very common problem with this board after a bit of googling !!
    also tried

    this is the 1st time ive used it !
    tried the OC genie button on and off.
    been sitting in the box unused for about 1.5 months. doubt that means anything tho.
    put the stock cooler on securely, and still the same problem !
    now tho, it wont start for about 3 secs after i press the power button
    and

    disconnected all the SATA's bar 1, and still the problem :/!
    all the standoffs etc r fitted correctly and iv re-connected the 8 pin cpu and 24 pin. 1 stick off RAM in the 1st slot also :/!
    checked no molex connectors r touching the case metal either
    any suggestions?

  • MSI P67A-GD65 and other 1155's whine

    Hello MSI and community.
    Recently I decided to build a PC especally for minimun noise.
    I waited a long time for the B3 boards so I wouldn't have to go through the trouble of returns. Sadly this didn't work out.
    First of all I ordered the cheapest and first mobo(gigabyte ph67-ud-b3) that was relesed. Soon as I plugged it in and Windows 7 got to boot screen (from the DVD) it started giving off a high pitched whine.
    After alot of research I RMA it and ordered a Asus P8H67-M LX. Loaded it up and thought woohoo no whine, then as soon as windows finishes installing the drivers (first time on windows) of goes the whine again.
    I RMA that 1 too and bought the MSI P67A-GD65 advertized as "whistle free" as well as people on another forum saying they didn't hear anything from theirs. This one does the same but I can't keep sending back boards for RMA and want to keep this one so I'm here hoping to try and resolve the issue with MSI.
    I have tested these boards with Casecom 500w, ozc gamextream 700w, antec true power 650w and coolermaster pro m 600w with them behind a door to eliminate any fan noise.
    MSI GPUS: 8800GS, 8800GTX and 560TI as well as onboard from the h67 board.
    I've tried many differant BIOS settings, nothing but disabling C-STATE (fully disabled) effected it. (I havn't manually played with volts)
    On the other 2 boards I noticed it seemed to dim when I unplugged all USB devices and in their BIOS it was c3/c6 I had to disable, MSI board doesn't whine as loud as the other 2 but it's more constant but with a morse code type theme to it which seems to be coming from CPU socket whenever the PC is idle, it's equally noisy from either side of the board. It's very annoying and accually gives me a headache as maxium distance.   
    Alot of people have said their 1155 board don't make a sound but 3/3 for me have so I'm not sure what to think.
    I'm currently running with c-state disabled but Turbobooster only seems to go to 25% and slower clock speed on my i5-2500k and I assume for power usage, all things I don't want.
    Can you give any information at all? Might it be possible to correct with a BIOS update? I'm open to any suggestions and will keep checking back here.
    Hope you will be able to work with me on this issue.
    Thank you in advance, I've prefered to go with MSI all my computering life.
    Paul

    Used the same CPU cooler on all three? That would be my wild guess.
    I test it fanless of course  but no I have used mutiple heat sinks aswell.
    Quote
    What's wrong with throttling down at idle or low usage? Who sits at a stop light with the engine at full throttle?
    I'm not too sure what disabling C-state accually does but when running Orthos I saw speed was at 3.6ghz instead of the 3.3 while disabled.

  • 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).

  • MSI P67A-GD65 Slow Boot

    At times I'll get stuck at B4 or 98 error code for a good 5-15mins plus. I will either have to wait it out or press reset until it boot properly. Even when it gets passed this issue I still have to wait a while looking at the windows start up animation. I'm using a 2500k right now, my i920 system only displays the animation once before proceeding into windows.
    The major issue is the B4/98 issue. I have tried a lot of things to no availability. If all else fails I will send this board back to Amazon and pick up an Asus or w/e.
    Thanks,

    At times I'll get stuck at B4 or 98 error code for a good 5-15mins plus.

    Is the B4 error just a generic

    98 = Console input devices connect
    B4 = USB hot plug
    What other USB devices besides the "usb card header card reader" and the mentioned mouse/keyboard combination do you have connected to your system?
    Can you please try without the card reader?

    It's a B3 with the latest bios.
    The latest Final UEFI/BIOS Release (E7681IMS.1E0) or the latest BETA Release (E7681IMS.1F5)?

  • MSI P67A-GD65 killed my USB drives

    I recently bought MSI P67A-GD65 and I am having a weird problem: I plugged my seagate usb drive and corsair voyager gt usb flash memory stick into usb 3 port on the motherboard and the stopped working (memory stick is dead and smells burned) and the drive is not recognized as proper usb device anymore - result both of them dead. As I recently used these usb devices only with my computer and a old laptop it looks pretty bad for msi motherboard.
    I have a power adapter with shortcut safety and a descent PSU chieftech GPS 650GB, I do not overclock, when I upgraded my PC I replaced motherboard, cpu, memory and graphic card the other components are the same (PSU etc) and I never had the same problem before
    No the questions:
    1. Did anyone else have the same problem?
    2. How can I diagnose it, I am going to replace my usb drives, but how can I be sure I can use them with my PC?
    3. If it is a msi's fault how can I get reimbursted for my damaged property?

     Why don't you provide the information asked for? So far all you have provided is model of motherboard and other information is so vague it's just about useless.
     Again read the >> Posting Guide << and provide required information.
