X79-gd65(8d) issues

I am running the board while waiting for delivery on my big bang xpower 2(another week or so)
system worked out the box, them flashed bios to 1.3
still worked, ran everything I threw at it
flashed bios1.5, worked
then randomly started freezing in MW3(after 2 weeks of no problems)
flashed bios to 1.61, wouldn't boot, code67
removed 7x dims, now boots on bios 1.4,1.5 and 1.61(network adapter takes forever to connect)
anti virus fails to start
added dim to slot 3(black) boots.
added dim 5(black)boots
added dim7(black)boots
add dim2(blue)boots
add dim4(blue)fails to post windows logon screen(code AA on board)
replaced dim 4 with other module, boots up, posts win logon but freezes before desktop
remove dim4, boots to desktop
add dim6(blue)boots
add dim8(blue)boots to desktop
test remaining dim in slot 1, boots.
Board or Bios problem?

What UEFI/BIOS version is on chip B? It's a simple matter to just test a new release & see how it does. If not satisfactory, switch chips to the known good version, set up to reflash the bad one to what works well. As Bernhard has mentioned, please be sure to let MSI Tech Support know. Not having any problems at all with .161 here.

X79-GD65 (8D) and i7 3820 issues

Hello members
I recently purchased a MSI X79-GD65 (8D) motherboard and an Intel i7 3820 CPU.
I have installed 4 sticks of 16GB memory.
When I turn the computer on, everything looks normal on the motherboard, except I get no video (have tried two video cards).
The CPU phase LED shows 3 bars, no digits on the debug motherboard LCD.
I have noticed that it is impossible to turn the power off and the PSU needs to be switched off.
From what I am reading it seems I have an old BIOS, (the chip has a red dot) and this is incompatible with the 3820.
I was wondering if anybody knows a workaround to allow me to get into BIOS to reflash the chip.
The fact that the BIOS chips are surface soldered doesn't help either.
Any ideas appreciated.

it is dead to me.
there are some serious key flaws with MSI.
Why is the BIOS chip soldered surface mount, if BIOS are always outdated, why not install a socket BIOS chip, this would then be a very straight forward fix
Why do I need a CPU installed to flash my BIOS, ASUS has this feature on their motherboard, this could easily be fixed in this case
The RMA website for Australia is non functional, try navigating http://au.msi.com/service/wheretobuy/ you get a JavaScript error.
I reread the manual which points to the url http://www.msi.com/service/cpu-support (which doesn't even work because of the missing trailing forward slash) and it pointed to the url http://www.msi.com/product/mb/X79A-GD65--8D-.html#/?div=CPUSupport.
Nothing on that page even hints there may be incompatibility issues.
Not a good experience

MSI x79-GD65 (8d) RAM issue.

I've just recently bought a new pc. Put it together this week aswell, everything works fine except for the fact that my RAM is not capable of running quad channel. The problem is (as far as I've been able to diagnose it) that the slots to the right of the cpu, that's dimm slots 5-8, aren't working.
After installing all the parts and installing the memory in slots 1, 3, 5 and 7 (the black ones), I noticed that Windows only saw 8GB of ram rather than the full 16GB. I went into my BIOS (not clickbios but startup bios as that allows you to view Memory-Z) and found that it only detected the Ram in slots 1 and 3. I turned off the pc and put the ram in slots 5 and 7 into slots 1 and 3 to check if the ram was faulty. They were detected fine.
I put all of them in again but still no more than 8GB got detected. I swapped all the memory into the blue slots (2, 4, 6, 8). After doing so the computer wouldn't post. I then tried to boot with different ram (2 sticks of 2GB DDR3 1333mhz Mushkin) in slot 1 and 5 (that is 1 one the left and one to the right of the cpu). Only the ram in slot 1 got detected.
I then put the Mushkin in the first two black dimms (1,3) and put all the corsair ram into the blue slots (2, 4, 6, 8). No more than 12GB got detected (which was slots 1-4, 2x2gb and 2x4gb). Memory-Z confirmed that none of the ram in slots 5-8 got detected.
As a desperate last measure I took out the Mushkin ram and put the Corsair ram into slots 1-4. All of the ram got detected but for obvious reasons it was only running dual channel.
I've read on this and other forums that sometimes the cpu socket pins can be bent and that can cause memory problems, I took apart the pc again and looked at the pins, but none of them were missing nor were any bent.
The question now is how can I get quad channel ram working?
system specs
Motherboard: MSI x79-GD65 (8D)
Bios: Version 1.7 (latest version)
VGA: Gigabyte 670GTX OC
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast TX750M (750 Watt)
CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 (stock speed)
MEM: Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4X1600C9 (4 sticks of 4gb)
HDD: Corsair Force 3 240GB SSD.
+ 2xSamsung F3 1TB in raid 0, all on the Intel chip.
COOLER: Corsair H100
OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

For quad channle you must populate DIMM1, DIMM3, DIMM5, DIMM7 or all slots if using 8 sticks. Populating slots 1-4 has to result in dual channel.
If 1, 3, 5 and 7 won't work there's some different problem that still would indicate bent pin(s).

MSI X79-GD65(8D) gives a posting error 63 Late CPU Initialize

Hey Guys.
I have recently purchased new hardware.
MSI X79-GD65(8D) Motherboard
Intel i7 3820 CPU
4 X Corsair Vengeance 4GB DDR3-1600 RAM
MSI GTX660Ti Power edition GPU
Corsair 750W Professional series PSU
Corsair H80 CPU Cooler
I haven't overclocked ht e mobo, but on cold boot, the mobo doesn't initialize, gives a post error 63, refered to the mobo manual, it says it means late CPU initialize. Checked the BIOS, running version 1.7 and according to MSI download site for the CPU support list.
The memory is in quad channel as it shows in a diagram in the mobo manual. If I switch the pc off, and back on, it initializes and boots, the pc runs stable, it can run 48 hours no hassle, passes burn in tests to, just the first cold boot doesn't initialize.
Any ideas for what to look at would be great.
Thank you.

A little hint for you: Don't try any of the .1B betas as they run horrible. I had to remove the latest .1B3 as it bricked the board and had to be recovered.
1.18 B7 is still the best bios to use:

I'd suggest the later Bios 1.18 B7 which I'm also using with the i7-3820 (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=154186.msg1192427#msg1192427)

MSI P55 GD65 Booting issue [SOLVED]

Hello everyone!
I finished a new build two days ago:
Intel i5-750, 2.66GHz
MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.3, Lotes socket
A-DATA 2x2GB DDR3 1600Mhz CL8 Vitesta Extreme Edition
GIGABYTE ATi R5850 1GB
KINGSTON V-series SSD 64GB SATA
SAMSUNG SpinPoint F3 500GB SATA 7200rpm
Artic Cooling Fusion 550, 550W, dc outputs are mentioned below
and some minor components (optical drives, wifi card etc.)
I started the computer and everything seemed fine. I managed to enter the bios. I was checking H/W monitor and several other options, I didn't change anything. Suddenly (after circa 5mins) the computer shut down and started to turning on and off repeatedly. I stopped the loop by turning off the power supply. I started it again, however it got stuck in the loop imediately. After a while I managed to access the bios again, meanwhile I was trying to find some answers on internet.
I decided to remove all memory sticks (as a lot of topics here in forum which are describing the very same problem sign RAM problem) and started computer. I expected beeps and LED-show. However, the computer didn't start at all! Even fans were not spinning, just nothing (although PSU was giving tension). I put RAM back and computer started. It was like black magic. I tried again, remove RAM - no start, put RAM back - no start too. Mobo went definitely dead. So I RMAed it.
I've obtained a new one, which was:
MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.2, Foxconn socket
I put all the stuff together and started computer. Everything went fine, I managed to enter the bios. Nevertheless, I decided to check RAMs for sure; I changed booting devices, restarted and booted system rescue cd with some utils. I started memcheck basic test. The basic test was fine with no errors, then I started filling with random pattern test. It ran for almost 24h. I wanted to try another exercise test and... computer shut down and the loop was there once AGAIN!
I don't think the mobo is the issue here anymore. I bet on two things: PSU or RAM (I'm not going to think about CPU!)
I don't recall exact dc ouputs but: AC Fusion has 2 12V rails with 17A each. Mobo needs 18A, but as I understand it, I have to check 2 rails combined against the requirement - 34A > 18A, it's okay, isn't it? I've choosen this one as I wanted silent PSU (it performed really good in tests, f.e.: http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3516). I don't have any other similar PSU to swap (neither my friends).
My suspicion is the problem is RAM incompatibility. My RAMs (AD31600E002GU2K) have 1.65-1.8V working voltage. Maybe the mobo sets auto settings badly (I'm not present at my computer now, I left for the weekend); they are not in QVL too (http://eu.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1846.pdf). The problem is I was not able to get into bios before I left. As I read on the internet, P55 is pretty touchy when it comes to RAM. I'm thinking about swapping them for Kingston 2x2GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL7 (http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX1333C7D3K2_4GX.pdf; which are not in QVL either, but KHX1333C8D3K2_4GX are; only latency difference).
Any advices on the whole problem?
P.S.: I've tried CMOS clear on the former one too, no change. As I mention I went through the most of the gd65 booting issues posts here on MSI forum and several others.

Do you think Corsair VX550 550W could do the job? It has a single rail with 41A on 12V. ATi certified Straightpower BQT E6-550W for 5850, which has 4 rails per 18A, but overall 41A too (http://www.be-quiet.net/be-quiet.net/data/media/_stories/216/sp_e6_550_EN.pdf).

Z68A-GD65 (G3) issues.

I'll start with my build,
Z68A-GD65 Gen 3
i5 2500k under Noctura NH-D14
16GB G.Skill DDR3 1333 CL9 1.5V
MSI R6950 Twin Frozr II 2GB
Crucial M4 128GB SSD (in 1st intel sata 3 port)
Antec HCP 850w
Bios 23.3 (or whatever, I'm on phone at work)
A few issues;
I can't OC. If I try an oc, it boots, I get splash screen for msi, then hangs with blinking underscore. Even if I match oc genie setting for setting in standard mode. Using auto etc, set v core way high (like 1.4 for a mild 4.2 oc) it just seems to hang. I'm guessing something to do with the sata 3 controller, since I'm booting off ssd
Last night I started PC, went to bathroom, came back and it was loop booting. I hard powered it off, and restarted. OC failed, and that was oc genie at 4.2.
PC won't wake up from sleep. Have to hard power off (hold power button down) then restart and it resumes windows. Mouse and two diff keyboards won't wake it (performance mx mouse, g510 keyboard, and ps2 dell keyboard.)
G510 won't enter bios, have to use dell ps2 keyboard.
If in OC genie, or trying oc in standard mode, system double posts. Starts, runs 4-5sec (no display), powers down, starts back up and runs fine for hours (except the one oc fail on genie)
Any ideas on any of it?

No, thats the last official release. There has been a host of beta BIOS releases since. I just flashed to the latest .N48 today and I must say, I am very happy with the stability I now have.
If you intend to flash, use the forum flasher. >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Do a full CMOS clear after flashing >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also you will need to ensure that you set your BIOS back to AHCI, if you did that before installing the OS.
I further suggest you remove all RAM except one stick in the slot closest to the CPU before the BIOS flash. Only put the other RAM back after you have been through one boot cycle.

Z77A-GD65 / Video issues

Hey All
Got a real weird issue going on
Randomly when playing games my computer will shutdown and reboot. When it boots up the video card is blurry during Post and bios splash screen. Once windows attempts to load the computer reboots again.
Changing to the onboard video card works fine
If I swap the PCI-E to another slot it will work again but the issue will reoccur in a matter of time - can be days or minutes
Video Card runs in high load environments such as ARMA3 and Starcraft with issues. Previously had not experienced an issue.
It's just really weird
System
MB: MSI Z77A-GD65
Video: GTX 580

Any help or ideas would be awesome
Regards,
Mag

could be overheating for sure so like dude said check the temps under load and see if its temp is very high?
also it could be RAM errors so try >>Memtest86<< and see if it throws errors or if the computer restarts while its active?
could also be PSU related as you have not listed what power supply you have as it may be having a power shutdown issue as the PSU is not capable of sustaining a stable power delivery?

Z77A-GD65 power issue/bad system board?

Looking for advice. I am afraid its a bad board, but some symptoms point at power which also makes no sense.
This is what the WHOLE system should look like.
MSI Z77A-GD65 system board
Intel 3770K 3.5Ghz
Anted Kuhler H20 620
G.Skills RipJaws 16GB 1600Mhz DDR3 F3-14900CL9Q-16GBXL (on the test list)
Asus nVidia GTX 680 video card
OCX Vertex 3 256MB SSD
Seagate 500GB data drive
Razer Lycosa Keyboard
Razer DeathAdder Mouse
Antec Sonata IV case with Neo ECO 620W power supply
It seems to me that 620W should be more than enough. According to my calculations thats roughly 330W of power draw against a 620W powersupply.
I am not currently over clocking.
So what the system does look like is:
If I connect the 500GB drive then windows starts rebooting as soon as the Windows logo comes up.
If I place all four sticks of RAM in the system windows starts rebooting as soon as the Windows logo comes up.
If I leave the 500GB standard sata drive off and only use 3 sticks of RAM... well we get a solid system and I am writing this message on it.
3 sticks of ram appear to work in any 3 slots and allow the system to boot, except 1,3,4. That combo also resulted in the reboots at the windows logo.
I first thought it was RAM, originally I was using Corsair Vengeance. I saw some posts here about people having the same problem, and noted that the Corsiar RAM was not tested and switch to a the tested G.Skill instead.
Any ideas? It does not completely seem like a System board issue, but it certainly should not be power. All heat levels are well within normal and as I said the system works great if I leave off the drive and one stick of RAM.
Thanks guys....

System torn down, and put back together. (Found out I was out of Thrermal Compound, so I had to run to the store to get some.)
No long leads, only 9 stand offs matching each mount point on the systemboard.
Back together... problem is the exact same.
However, back to the hard drive issue. I decided to play with that since I was getting no where with 4 sticks of RAM.
What I have discovered is that with NO sata cable connecting the drive to the system board, if I try to power the two 250GB standard sata drives the system reboots just as the Windows logo should come up.
The fact that this behavior is so close to the RAM behavior... I am back to thinking its a power issue, though system board is still a chance... its just easier to buy a new better power supply than the Antec Neo Power 620 that came with the case. (I have not ever had a problem with Antec before, and will likely just buy one of their higher end power supplies to replace it, but I think I will try it next, just in case.)
I am not seeing any strange behavior power wise as far as any monitor shows... but connecting power to a sata drive that is NOT connected with a sata cable and causing a reboot just screams power at me.
Anymore thoughts today. In the mean time off to play Secret World with just the SSD and two sticks of RAM, which still runs rock solid.

New Z87-GD65 USB Issues?

Trying to find out if I need to return a newly installed board to the store for an exchange. I have another PC, with this same board, that was built back in August, and it works great.
If I go into the BIOS, sometimes the USB drive is detected and sometimes not. Had to reboot 3 or 4 times to even get it to see a usb drive to load Windows 8.1.
In windows it will detect a usb flash drive about half the time. I have an ASUS N-53 USB Wireless stick that has only been detected one time. NOTE - All of the items I have plugged in work without fail, on the same board, in another PC. I thought it first it was maybe the front ports in the case (Fractal Design R4) but it has the same issue on the backside ports that are coming directly off the board.
I have reset the bios to defaults and also flashed the bios to latest. Also tried it on bios B to make sure it wasn't something specific to BIOS A. Since I was having the issues before even installing Windows, I'm going with a faulty board. Before I go through the trouble of returning the board, is their anything else I can do to check?

As a follow-up...
I went back to the store and did an exchange. The new board is working like a champ, so I assume the USB controller was bad on the original. Just got unlucky on that last one.
As I stated previously, this is my second Z87-GD65 and I really like it. I would recommend.

Z87-GD65 motherboard issues NEED HELP!

I just built my first gaming PC whit the Z87-GD65 motherboard from MSI. From time, everything is installed and ready to go, expect the CPU watercooling cooler.
But, i got a few issues whit the motherboard.
First, When i installed the drivers, i get an error for installing the bios (7845v13) and WIN78_64 drivers.
Error message for 7845v13 BIOS: The version of this file is not compatible with Windows - version you are running. Refer to your computer's system information if you need an x86 (32 bit) or x64 (64 - bit) version of the program, and then contact your software publisher.
Error message for WIN78_64 Drivers: This system does not meet the minimum requirements to install the software.
I tried to run as admin, but still.
Next issue that the boot up for windows 7 is much slower when i did install the drivers. It took me like 5 seconds or more to start up as new. Now it takes around 15 - 10 seconds.
Next issue is pretty much about that i cant use my keyboard at startup to go to the bios, or change the system settings. I have tried between 3 keyboards, and still. I know that i can get access to the bios for the motherboard, but still, i really don't want to open the case every time.
Here is my system specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K Processor
GPU: EVGA Ge-Force GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA
PSU: Corsair AX 760 PSU
CPU cooler: Intel stock cooler (Upgrading to H110 watercooler)

SSD: Intel® 335 SSD 240GB
I am really looking forward for help!

Hi,
I Personaly trust more the flash tool inside BIOS. And so i havent seen those type of OS problems
Isnt that WIN78 driver for that videocard inside the CPU?
-- And you are now useing, EVGA. So it dont see it in use at the moment.
Did you format that SSD when you installed OS on it?
-- For SSDs only "Secure eraser" to wipe it clean and if must then "fast format".
Hope this helps. Mummy
Edit: Duble check that the automatic defragmentation isnt on, on that SSD.

P67A-GD65 major issues

I'm having some major problems with my P67A-GD65. I received this board from an RMA about 2 weeks ago (previous board had the no and/or corrupt ME issue), installed it and have had zero issues until two days ago. I was playing a game when the game crashed. I didn't think anything of it and started up again but the crashes continued from that point on (game has been installed and played without issue for 2 weeks, since new RMA). I did a restart and upon reboot several windows services and other apps all crashed. I checked event viewer and noticed all the crashes are listed under the same event ID (event ID 1000, Exception code: 0xc0000005). At this point I scheduled at disk check (using windows 7, enabled both fix file system errors and scan for bad clusters), I let the scan run it's full course (took several hours) and there were zero errors. I decided to reintall my OS and see if I had any better luck, thinking perhaps the game crash caused some freak, one of kind, system error.
As soon as the OS was running again, I was immediately greeted with more of the same errors. This time searchindexer.exe crashed over 100 times, until I got a BSOD (bad_pool_caller stop 0x000000C2). I rebooted and there were no errors, again checking the event viewer, I saw the same event ID 1000 with same exception code (also, this The Windows Search service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 138 times, bear in mind this occurred in a 10 minute time period). I tried to install some of my drivers, only to have my sound drivers refuse to install with a CRC error and my video drivers install, then immediately had the catalyst service crash upon reboot. I was afraid perhaps it was my SATA port going bad so I moved my HDD from SATA 8 to SATA 1 (avoiding all the Intel ports) but this didn't help the issue at all. Is it possible I got a bad RMA board from MSI? Any ideas on things I can check out? It's odd it was working fine for the first two weeks.
I mention the problems beginning with the game crash because something odd happened after the crash. I was playing a game within Steam. Right after the crash, steam no longer worked. As soon as I tried to start steam again, it would crash and quit immediately. I had to do a complete reinstall of Steam to get it working again. I do have UAC disabled so is it possible by some freak occurrence the game crash could have damaged my OS install? Again, I did a complete reinstall since then though and had no improvements.

I just wanted to add a few of the errors from event viewer:
Session "Circular Kernel Context Logger" stopped due to the following error: 0xC0000188 (event id 3)

P67A GD65 B3 - issues

Hi everyone
I have some isses with my new p67a-gd65:
Q1. When booting before showing the intel raid utility I hear 1long and 3or4 short beeps. Accorind to google those 3 short beeps should mean that there's a problem with the upper memory. I have F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 (2x4GB) and the memory is supported by this mobo according to the gskills website. Furthermore I ran the memtest86+ (v4.20) a week ago and this morning (for about 90mins) and no errors turned out. The system/memory hasn't been overclocked and I'm using the 1f8 bios.
If the beeps are 4short this should mean that the system timer is dead. I cannot see any issues when running win7 or fedora linux. Everything looks ok. Should I be concerned???
I noticed the beeps this morning because it turned out I've used the wrong pins for the beeper (JFP2) for the mobo. That's why I haven't heard them before (if there were any).
Should I be concered for those beeps?
Q2. In the "green" section there are 2 options to choose from: APS and Intel SVID XXXX. When I choose APS all 6 phase leds are on all the time. As I said before the system hasn't been overclocked (i5-2500k). Even in idle (after 15 min) I still have a solid light from all 6 leds.
If I choose Intel SVID instead of APS after the system fully boots it shows 1 led with steady light, the following 4 are lit but not as intensive as the first one, and the last led is blinking. So I still have all of them on. I have enabled the c1e state and the other c states and chosen "no limit" for the c-states.
once again: Should I be concerned about this? Why don't those led turn off et least in idle???
Q3: I'm using an raid0 for my data and therefore have enabled the intel-raid. As a result when booting I have to wait about 7 sec starring in front of the "intel raid-rom bla-a-a-a". Do you know how I can hide the this intel-blaaaaa and speed up the boot process?
otherwise the system looks rock solid but those isses drive me crazy!

Z87-GD65 Reboot Issue

I've been having a bit of a strange issue with my new board (Z87-GD65) since installing it. Anytime I perform a reboot, the computer will stayed powered on as it normally should, however the display will disconnect and not display on the monitor. This is the case even outside of Windows (as I first discovered it when rebooting before installing Windows on it at all). The computer will turn on and display video normally when turned on from being completely powered off, however when doing so from a reboot, my monitor displays a "no signal" message, and displays nothing. This continues to happen when switching between the two DVI ports on my card (even when switching them in the middle of the issue).
Again, this only happens when restarting the computer, whether from inside of Windows or not. The result is that I end up having to do a hard shut down, and turn back on the computer.
I have flashed my BIOS with the most up to date version, and I have not tried any over clocking yet, so short of the BIOS flash, all of the settings are on their defaults.
Hardware Used:
Z87-GD65 Board
Intel Core i5 4590S
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Corsair Vengeance Pro Series RAM, 2x4 GB DDR3 2400MHz
Seagate 2GB SSHD
Corsair GS800 800W PSU
Using On Board Audio, NIC, and USB
If it matters, or if it comes down to it being a power issue oddly enough, I'm also using an after market cooling system for my CPU.
Thanks to ANYONE who has any ideas as to what may be causing this.

I have exactly this issue, when I try and restart the screen shuts down and the pc keeps the powerbutton on..it just sort of hang with fans on.
There's no issue when it starts 'manually by clicking the startbutton'.
I updated the bios like different websites suggest, and like you did. I lean toward trying a new powersupply now since thats the only old thing left in my pc. Everything else is completely new.
This post was great inspiration on what to do to fix it.. however seeing that it didnt work for you I'm abit discouraged to be honest.
Maybe some of you have suggestions to what can be tried to fix it. What I tried :
- (my husband) Trying different settings. I cant recall them, i'm not that technical (then returning settings in the end to default, since the only reaction I got was the computer refusing to start my win7.)
- I have the newest driver for my 1150 board (ver. 1.20). Flashed it from an usb as the guide said.
Did you get your issue fixed?
Specs for my pc, appologies if it's lacking, typed what I understood.
Board MSI Z87M GAMING
VGA Geforce GTX 760
Intel core i7 4790 CPU 3,6GHz
Bios 1.20 AMI OEM
HDD Samsung 120 SSD SATA600
HDD Samsung 500 SSD SATA 600
RAM Kingston 16GB DIMM DDR3
Windows 7 Ultimate 6.01.7601
Mine was never fixed. :/ After the last BIOS flash suggested in this forum, it won't even come on from a shut down, even with a brand new board (swapped it after I thought that update bricked it).
I was thinking the PSU, I just don't have another one to test and I know it worked fine in the old build. This whole thing has been a disaster.

Z77a-gd65-having issues running 2 gtx 560 sc in sli--any help out there???

I just built this unit last night and I have a issue that is beyond me....Normally I just throw them together and throw to cards in download all the drivers and turn on sli.......
But with this one the driver keeps crashing and I have no idea what it is--everything is brand new....

It only does this in sli......Right now I have only one card in and i took the other card out...so far no issues......I just can not figure it out..
I tried a new sli brindge and that did not work....Than I switched power supply to 850 from a 750 and that did not work....each 6 pin has it own power rail..nothing brindged on the cable.....Is there a setting In bios I am missing............
Help me out guys....I am at a loss..I really want to run 2 cards.....will be testing the single card for a few more hours and that I will swap it out with the other.....But am I missing something.....Voltage on each card is kind of weird I guess..1.00 volts to .850........

I know this is besides the point...But you learn something new everyday.....so far no crash....Only difference---I have 2 sticks of ram and not 4....I really would like to know more about this. as of right now. I want to just leave the 2 sticks and make 100% sure the cards are not the issue. You would figure with this set up...I should not have any issues like that what so ever......so why would the i7 3770k have issue like this? Is it know to have problems like that? I even spent the extra cash on this build....now I am second guessing my choice. should have stuck with the z77a-gd55 or lower. So you think the cpu was having issue with the IMC and bandwidth...Talk about weird....I will keep testing like it is right now and than tmr-try uping the voltage & I/O.....I need to make 100% sure its not my cards...
I think you mis-understood (as i wasn't clear)
Set the voltage to 1.65 & 1.1 and install all 4 sticks and re-test.
I wasn't saying the cpu was broken or anything like that. What I was getting at was that the Integrated Memory Controller on dual channel machines sometime have a bit of trouble with all of the band width when hooked up to quad channel. Can also be cause by the memory itself as Froggy was saying:

Test the other two sticks individually in the primary DIMM slot to see if one or both are faulty.
Virtu-MVP was an exciting idea that hasn't really worked as well as it should due to a lack of support from LUCID. I disabled mine long ago due to nusiance issues.

Right now---since I have taken out the 2 extra sticks of Ram.....I have not had a single crash..."2 hours".I even turn up the stick to the suggested 1600...Running great...I am a firm believer if it an't broke.....Leave it alone>>>>>>>>>>LOL!!!!!I like the way it is running....
If this is the case, you can reset the dramv and I/o voltage to "Auto".
Perhaps even enable the XMP profile of the ram.

Z77A-GD65 boot issue!

Hey.
I have this Z77A-GD65 motherboard which I bought around July 2012, which has been working great until this morning. First of all, I don't do any overclocking, It has no meaning to me and I didn't change anything on the BIOS, not even used it prior to this problem.
Problem is, PC won't post, It will turn on for 3-4 secs until reaching debug code 55 then it will simply shutdown and restart by itself, going into a cycle, just let me repeat, there is no BIOS, no post only black screen.
I tried switching Bios A and B, clearing data on both Bios A and B, replacing the Bios battery. I replaced the Core i5 3750K with a Core i7, I changed memory sticks, even replaced the 670 GTX card with a 660Ti card. Replaced my CoolerMaster PSU with a Corsair one and none of these changes helped.
I did this both inside the case and outside the case and gave the motherboard a good airblow to remove the little dust it had on it.
All the other component worked just fine in another PC.
So basically, I did every troubleshooting I know, It feels like a shortcut but I inspected the motherboard and it seems to be in good physical condition.
I think it needs a RMA, whats the best thing to do now?
Thx for any help!

You are in South America?
You could also just email [email protected] if you wished. Might be recommended if that is the case due to the nearest service center being in the USA. Unless they opened a new one recently.
Yup:
