X79A-GD65 (8D) another error in DIMM ? after MSIHQ error 654...

Hello, on my, X79A -GD65(8d) , is it possible that a DDR slot , namely the dimm7 is"dead" ?
Let me explain: I have long been a lot of 4x4 strips corsair ddr lp case 9 9 9 24; famous CML16GX3M4A1600C9 in position DIMM 1, 3, 5 , 7 . For some time I had unwanted BSOD , even after rounding the intel rapid storage tech ... I flash my bios remained in 1.8, version 4.7 and ME 8, as you know . So I made ​​a memtest without removing the bars , I got a good red train errors. So I've tested one by one in DIMM1 position , one of the bars was dead. I had an exchange as lifetime warranty , replace new in the same places , and for the sake of rigor, recovery memtest . And rebelotte , an error in red train. Annoyed , I test each new modules in DIMM1 position and then, no error , the 4 bars are goods. Well ...
I give a quick vacuum with a fine brush for dusting. I replace, restart my stuff , and bam, another BSOD after a few minutes. that was yesterday.
This morning I rekindled my stuff and now it boots loop with error code 67 ( which corresponds to " late cpu initialization" ... : pt1cable : , if I view the tiny panel lED on the motherboard ( did I read in common sense ? .
oookkkkkk... Intuition torments me , I cut the power supply , remove the strip in DIMM7 position, the others are in position 1, 3, 5,  and back on the thing . After a buckle boots , he finally starts on the F1 panel proposal to return ds bios setting for 3 bars , and after, boot on Windows 7, normally.
So questions:
- What can a ddr slot is dead?
- Can i put my 4 modules DDR DIMM in position 1 , 3, 5 , 7 ( DIMM 2, 4 , 6, 8 for example, or 1, 2 , 3, 4 ? ) ?
Note that I use the XMP profile bars , which prevents me from doing a manual setting that I 'm not sure to succeed perfectly ... And I check the profile gives me good specifications barrettes, I found in CPU -Z.
My card is obviously no longer under warranty as purchased in March 2012 ...
thank you and good week if you read me tomorrow ... ;-)

I removed all the hardware, I checked the status of the socket pins , I do not see any damaged pins , I put together the CPU and the heatsink , put the mobo on a cardboard box , plugged the video card, keyboard, mouse and makes a clear cmos . After a restart with 4 DIMM modules in position 1, 3 , 5, 7 I always get the error code 67. I placed the strips in position DIMM 1, 2, 3, 4, and the mobo has booted, I could go into the bios redo my settings ( including: XMP enabled). CPU- Z actually gives me 4 bars connected in dual bios, but it works ... I do not know why dimm7 no longer works . There is a set of two LEDs on each side of cpu leds "DDR phase" both are on the left (DIMM1 side 4), one is on the right (side dimm 5-8).
This is the second motherboard MSI X79A - GD65 ( 8D ) in two years , the first having had another problem a year after purchase, one I also dates a year. I've never even used the OC buttons (2 radeon hd 7950 provide me to do), I do photo and video editing,  I work with it for associations and i play games. Nothing particularly stressful.
I have a GA- X48T -DQ6 with a core 2 quad Q9550 for 6 years, I've asked a lot and now my son uses it with pleasure. I never had any problems with it. I still have two Asus : A7N8X Deluxe and A8N sli deluxe with their Athlons , my wife has an Asus M2N -E SLI ... I mounted these motherboards, and they work perfectly .
I am somewhat annoyed... Mmm...  ("très en colère" we say in french) by this MSI card and I think frankly that the price / quality ratio is not in his favor. 
Thanks  .

  • MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) Boot error B2

    I bought my ssystem last week. All hardware came in and I build it up.
    This is the hardware I have:
    Mainboard: MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)
    CPU: Intel Core i7-3930K/3.2GHz 12MB LGA2011 Hexa-core
    Case: Corsair CASE Graphite 600T
    Power supply: Thermaltake SMART 650W/ 80plus
    Cooler: Thermaltake Contac 39
    SSD: Intel SSD 520 series 240GB
    HDD: Seagate HI 3.5" 2TB Barracuda 7200RPM
    Graphics: MSI N660Ti PE 2GD5/OC GTX660Ti
    Memory: CORSAIR DDR3 1600MHz 16GB Kit 2x8GB Domi DDR3 - 240 pin - 1,5V - CL9 - 2x 8 GB Kit
    DVD: DVD RW AD-5280 24x DL SATA Black Bulk 24x/24x - Serial ATA
    The problem:
    Everything looks fine all fans are spinning when I power on the computer. Keyboard lights up. I can even press del to enter setup.
    I never get into setup though. It just displays error code B2 in the bottom right corner and a blinking cursor in the top left corner.
    So always error B2. I see this error to on the LED's in the mainboard.
    What I have tried:
    - Boot the system with one memory module in Dimm socket 1
    - Boot the system with on memory module in Dimm socket 3
    - Place the graphic cards in another PCI-E socket
    - Double checked the connector of the power on the graphic card, the mainboard, near the cpu and the graphic card power on the mainboard.
    - Boot the system without any devices, just cpu, memory and graphic card.
    - Reset the CMOS with the button on the back of the mainboard.
    Can somebody help me solve my problem? I have no idea what to do anymore?
    Oh: 1 thing just came to mind, I have connected all my system fans to my case instead of on my mainboard. I can manage the speed that way, can it have something to do that there is no Sysfan1 connected to the mainboard? (A bit far searched I guess).
    Help would be much apreciated.

    I just wanted to let the readers know that I found the problem.
    I have tried to screw out my old Videocard and placed that in my new system. It booted without any problems.
    The MSI Geforce GTX 660 Ti videocard caused my problem. I have read some things about this card to on the internet.
    They tend to use to much power in this videocard so it can cause POST problems.
    Here is some more info about it: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/MSI-GTX-660-670-overvolting-PowerEdition,18013.html
    I hope this info helps other people to.

  • X79A-GD65 (8D) MSIHQ error 654 Specified path name or file name is invalid.

    Hello,
    First, excuse my poor english...
    I would like to flash the 7760 v1.8 bios of my motherboard to install windows 8.1 on a crucial M500 480Go (yet, installing W8.1 after connect M500 on SATA1 6Go next to my M4 SSD with W7, causes errors during installation and I guess it is because i think the SSD is not correctly recognized by the bios and Windows 8.1 requires bios and ME updates.)
    I download the last bios on MSI site (http://us.msi.com/product/mb/X79AGD65_8D.html#/?div=BIOS) and install MSIHQ Tool 1.25g software to make an USB stick for flashing as describe here : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=116721.0
    But when i point on the archive (3.1. Method 1: Processing a BIOS Archive Directly (ZIP/RAR)), MSIHQ can not open the archive and tell me: ERROR 654 Specified path name or file name is invalid.
    Yet when I use the same method to flash my bios from 1.6 to 1.8, it had gone well ... What to do?  Should I use the method described on the download page: http://fr.msi.com/files/pdf/Bios_update_SOPAll.pdf ?
    Thank you and good day.

    No, no...  I know what a dual boot if it is what you say, I did it for years. I also made two differents drives with two separate systems boot : a Hdd with xp and boot.ini , and another with windows 7 and mbr. After installing the first OS first on a disc, you disconnect this HDD and connecting the second to receive the second OS. There is no dual boot because I did not boot on the same partition then let me choose between 2 OS placed on two differents drives or two partitions, but I boot well on two differents disks , each with their own boot files this just saves me the dual boot which I find too heavy. On a Gigabyte X48T -DQ6 with the F12 key , you choose what HDD boot . Same I think with the F11 key X79A - gd65 : "Press DEL key to enter Setup Menu , F11 to enter Boot Menu" and then you choose between booting on either disc. In the case cited above , it is then that we arrive on the mbr of windows 7 on a disc or boot.ini windows xp on the other. So you do not answer my question, it seems to me :-) I wonder if I'm clear, there ...;-)
    thanks very much...

    BIOS Version: E7760IMS 1.7
    Hi guys,
    I'm in trouble! I have just assembled my new system with the components listed above. When I plug in the power supply I'm able to start the it. It runs for 1 to 2 minutes and I can call up the BIOS for instance. Everything seems to be fine. But then it crashes and tries to restart and get stuck on the POST code "dE" (I know, such a POST code doesn't exists...) When I turn it off, I'm not able to start again until I unplug the power supply for 10 minutes.
    I have tried to start it with only one DDR3-RAM in DIMM one. I have already cleared the CMOS a couple of times with a jumper. I have removed the CMOS battery for a while, I have tried all 4 RAM's in DIMM 1....
    It would be great if someone has an idea what's going on here. I go insane 
    Thanks,
    Selwy

    dammit! It's the PSU!! How is that possible!?
    I have installed a old 550W Enermax PSU and it worked with all the new components - msi board, PNY Quadro, i73930k...
    What I really don't understand is, why did the PSU worked with my old VGA this afternoon? It had a 6-pin connector too.
    What do you guys think I should do now? Send to PSU back to Corsair and ask for a new one - same version? Or would it be better to get one from another brand? Or is there something I can test or adjust on the PSU before I send it back? Or is it even "broken enough" to send it back? I mean, it works - a little bit
    Once again, thank you very much to all of you for your help!!

  • MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) won't overclock after bios 4.1 update

    Just updated my bios to 4.1, unable to overclock after the update, multiplier stuck at 32 or sometimes 38.  I've set everything as before with bios 1.8 but no success.  Bios boots normally (does not say failed OC)
    Is there some new setting to enable OC in 4.1 or 
    Intel i7-3930k @ 4.7GHz * Nvidia GTX 680 (1.25GHz/6.6GHz) * MSi X79A-GD65 (8D) * 32GB DDR3 G.Skill RipJaws * SSD's & HDD's * Asus Xonar Essence STX
    CPU&VGA Watercooled * CoolerMaster HAF-932 * Corsair AX 1200W * 27" Asus VG278H 3D 120Hz * Windows 8 Pro x64

    found out my issue...  I used to set the ratio limit for each core under CPU Features submenu but in 4.1 I have to set the "Adjust CPU Ratio" in overclocking menu, it default on auto.
    So all is good

  • X79A-GD65 (8D) will not boot with 4930K or 3930K

    Short version:
    My system will not boot but gets stuck at "09 Power on South Bridge Initialization"
    Detailed description:
    I just bought this system and am when I tried to start it it got stuck at "09 Power on South Bridge Initialization". I have removed everything that is not necessary (gfx-card, HDDs, etc.) and only have the CPU and one memory stick inserted (in slot 1 as per the manual). I have also unplugged and put back all power cables from the PSU several times. I have also tried using BIOS A and B.
    As I read on this forum that a BIOS update was needed for IVY-Bridge CPUs I bought a 3930K today to see if I could get the system up and running but it still gives me the same error code.
    My board serial number is 601-7760-010B1312109204, assuming it is manufactured 1312 = December 2013.
    I don't know the BIOS revision as I have never managed to get past the 09 status code.
    Any ideas on what the problem could be?
    Bought this monster PC as I have a delivery for a client in need of some RAM-heavy processing, so am really starting to feel stressed out about this by now.
    Thanks in advance!
    System details:
     - MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) X79 S-2011 ATX
     - INTEL CORE I7 4930K 3.4GHZ 12MB S-2011
     - INTEL 530 80GB SATA SSD MLC RESELLER KIT
     - INTEL 530 480GB SATA SSD MLC BULK (4 of these)
     - FRACTAL DESIGN INTEGRA R2 750W
     - ASUS GEFORCE GT 210 1GB DDR3 PCI-E VGA/DVI/HDMI SILENT
     - KINGSTON 64GB 1600MHZ DDR3 ECC REG CL11 DIMM (4X16GB) W/TS (two kits, 128GB in total, don't really need ECC but that's what I could find needing 16GB sticks)

    even compared to just 10 years ago sales staff have became really dumb as there just hiring people who do not care about anything as long as they get there cut of a sale (usually all they know is basic Consumer parts they stock) and nearly non of them unless they specialize in that level of equipment will have 0 idea what they work with on a pro level part (ECC memory tends to be used on servers and Professional workstations so if they do not use that type of gear then they probably have no idea what ECC really is at all)!
    also in that time some major things have happened especially with computer parts like the memory controller moved from the Chipset to the CPU same with the SATA controller , onboard GPU (thats now on the CPU and some have it some don't) and alot of other things and I guess that the people you dealed with had no idea the memory support has very little to do with the board (all the board can do is have BIOS Timing sets now and lists of parts it supports) and is now to do with the CPU alot more as it has the important stuff on it (there very close to a SOC (System On Chip) now)!
    if you plan on building another computer remember to do some research yourself before you get a CPU as it is nearly the most important thing of all and they have different features tied to them and do not expect sales guys to have a idea unless there also a Technical support staff member too and work on computers that are of the same class your trying to make and have at least used the same level gear (usually if your doing something like that find a friend who is a computer nerd tell him what your trying to do and get him to help you choose all the parts)!
    let me know how it goes when you get the Xeon and have it installed?

    Been having issues with BSOD's and random boot issues (has trouble posting on occasion). Everyone of my error codes pointed to memory (0x1A for example). I had 4 sticks of 4GB ram in DIMM slots 1, 3 , 5, and 7. Memtest86+ ran smoothly overnight, however, Prime95 detected a hardware issue. Reading online told me that RAM is usually the culprit, so I switched down to 1 DIMM of RAM and so far Prime95 is running fine. I have heard of issues with slots 5 & 7. Can anyone confirm this? Also, this is just two packs of dual channel RAM. Would I be better off getting a quad channel pack?
    Thanks,
    Devin

    Doesn't always matter. Henry, one of the forum mods has reported having three identical part number sticks, and all three had different makers chips on them. +1 on the recommendation to get a matched quad kit for your rig.
    so true, i have had many packs of  dual channel memory kits that have different chips even though there the same make and model! (even though there the same type kits doesnt mean there the same chips on the ram modules, manufacturers will update them after only a few months of in some cases weeks as better ones become avalible or the ones there using run out)

  • X79a-gd65 (8D) won't pass bios

     Hi,
    I'm back again with my x79a-gd65 (8D)...I did a stupid thing I tested the "OC genie Software" from inside windows 7...
    The program asked me to reboot so it could complete OC setup - so I did. It passed BIOS, loaded Windows login. Then I revieced  an error when logging in (something and userenv.dll), then getting a black screen (apperently "logged in"). Hit "ctrl+alt+del" and logging out, then "shut off".
    Started it up, passed BIOS, I got the choice to Repair Windows or Start Normal. Trying Repair Windows first, it loads the files, then straight back to the choice again Repair Win or Norm... Testing start without repair i got a Blue Screen, reboot, and back to the choice after passing BIOS.
    Shut off my computer, killed the PSU, switched on the PSU and then my computer. Now it doesn't pass BIOS check, I recieve a debug code "B2" (Legacy Option ROM Initialization)...
    I've had the same setup since i bought it 14 months ago with no problems before this.
    Any ideas? I'm in panic mode atm.

    thanks for the help. There was no problem at all with the PSU after all, there seems to have been an incompabillity issue between x79a-gd65(8D) and Corsair TX850. I called the place where I bought my Corsair and asked I they ever tested it against my modell of MB, and they did not. I realized this endevour would continue untill end of mankind, and beeing so certain that it was an incomplabillity issue, I bought a Cooler Master PSU from another reseller...and it worked.
    I don't know if anyone else has had this kind of problem before, but this was the solution for me.
    Thanks again for all the help! 
    No problems with X79A-GD65(8D) here using a Corsair HX850, but, I did have trouble with a BB X II. Tried both a Corsair AX1200 and HX850. If the replacement mainboard acts the same, I have a Thermaltake here I can test with to rule out a compatibility theory. I can only guess the Corsair PSU you had had some odd intermittent function behavior & was faulty. I know the AX1200 & HX850 work, as I had them on other systems running with no problems.

  • MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) dE?

    I'm getting dE on my MSI motherboard Post/Debug Code Display,what causing it? i took my motherboard/CPU yesterday to the retailer as i thought it was fried by my PSU failing but it boot to the bios
    CPU:Intel CORE i7 3930K
    MOBO:MSI X79A-GD65 (8D)
    PSU:Silverstone Strider Plus 850W ST85F-P
    GPU: gigabyte 6850
    RAM:G.Skill Ripjaws Z F3-17000CL11Q-16GBZL (4x4GB) DDR3
    SOUND CARD:Creative Sound Blaster X-FI Titanium PCIe Fatal1ty Pro
    when i came back to home i install the motherboard in my case and it gave my first dE and also it restarts at random at start up before i got the dE
    when i place my motherhood on my desk and it boot to the bios with all my ram stick installed
    then i place it back to case it still gave me the  dE and how when i put on the desk it gave me dE

    I don't know,but I assume this, as you say it works fine outside the case.
    When you insert it in the case you are getting the error. Nothing changes, except the mounting of the board. If that is the only change, then it can only be a short.
    Only thing you didn't mention if this happens even without connecting the case wiring ?
    Mount the board in the case with the designated stand-offs only. Then do not connect any case wiring. Start the PC by shorting the ON/OFF switch pins on the board jumper. Check if it starts. After that, connect the case wiring and test again. That way you will find out if its a short between the board and the case, or if you have a short on the case wiring.

  • X79A-GD65 (8D) - Cannot populate all 8 slots

    It appears that whenever I run a full complement of 8 DIMMs that I cannot boot.  Here's the details:
    MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) running latest release firmware 1.70 with default NVRAM settings
    Intel i7 3930k
    8 x 8GB G.SKILL DDR3 1600 DIMMs
    Default RAM settings (1333MHz without XMP)
    It appears that the issue might be with slots 7/8 on the motherboard.  When I populate 4 slots as shown below everything tests out OK but the system only recognizes 24GB of RAM.
    When I populate the slots as below on the left, I get the full 48GB of RAM and memtest86 runs as expected.  When I populate as shown on the right, or populate all of the slots, I get up to "b0" on the diag LED and the system will reset itself in a boot loop (no video at this stage, so it's just booting every 10 seconds or so with no video output)
    When swapping around memory in the 48GB configuration all of my sticks test out correctly, so it doesn't appear to be the RAM itself.  Is anyone running one of these boards with a full 64GB of RAM successfully?

    Quote from: 5hr4pn3l on 22-June-12, 05:06:58
    Have you tried just two modules and tested all your pairs in the same known working slots? You may have a faulty module.
    Yes, I've booted with each of 4 sets of pairs and let one pass through of the default memtest86 test run, and everything tests out (I had previously RMAd one of the kits as a single stick tested bad after trying this the first time).
    Quote from: 5hr4pn3l on 22-June-12, 05:06:58
    Otherwise, does the system read all of your memory if you insert your modules into slots 2, 4, 6 and 8? If so, Slot 7 sounds faulty. If not, maybe both.
    I haven't tried this yet, as it isn't listed as a supported configuration in the documentation.  I'll give it a go tonight.

  • X79A-GD65(8D) won't boot/enter BIOS

    Hi, just got my new board and after rebuilding, it won't let me enter BIOS . POST seems to finish, i see the graphic, then the screen goes blank with a flashing cursor top right of screen.
    specs as follows
    X79A-GD65(8D) board
    32gb Corsair ram (8x4gb)
    Gigabyte t560TI
    Seaget 2TB and 1TB HDD's
    i7-3820 proccessor
    Cant find out what the BIOS verion is
    I have stripped it right back to 1 stick of ram and one HDD, no change.  Have completely dismantled and checked all connectors.   
    All help gratefully appreciated, this is/was my main work PC and i'm stuck badly without it.

    I'm thinking the UEFI/BIOS version may be the problem. Early production mainboards may have been shipped with v1.0 or v1.2. To support the CPU you have, v1.4 is required.
    Added: Standard USB keyboard and mouse? Initial startup should be with minimum components, not 8 sticks of RAM and all the HDD's. Makes it hard to troubleshoot if there is a problem. With just the one stick in the primary dimm slot, power off, pull the PSU power cord, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS and see if you can get into the UEFI/BIOS when tapping the Delete key. Was there a code number in the bottom right of the screen also?
    Quote
    how do I update the bios?
    Do you have a bootable USB stick? Try the CMOS clear first.

  • X79A-GD65 gen3 FF debug code - then recycle

    Much like Douchbag in this thread: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=157198.msg1156258  I am having almost the same problem. When I boot the PC, all the proper LEDs light up and all looks good however the debug LED panel displays: 19, 61, FF. After about 5 seconds of showing FF, the PC shuts off. Five more seconds later it powers up again. The process starts over.
    Below I have listed the steps I have taken during troubleshooting all with the same result upon boot:
    - Try booting with RAM in DIMM 1 and 2
    - Try booting with RAM in DIMM 3 and 4

    Eventhough i had to pay for the upgrade (mailing and 30 min work for the support guy) and they only upgraded one of the bios', it got fixed. And the system is now running like a charm.
    Glad to hear it is now up and running. To flash the other chip, please use the forum's USB flasher found here;
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
    Double check the exact model of your mainboard as the UEFI/BIOS version may not be the same, and download the file from one of MSI's Websites. The reason I mention this is because there is a X79A-GD65 and a X79A-GD65(8D). They may use different versions.

  • X79A-GD65 (8D) flashing the 1.11 bios crash

    Hi all,
    I had used M-Flash under bios ( B bios ) to update from 1.8 to 1.11 bios, from my usb thumb
    All seem to work, but after reboot the mahcine hang with 01 error code
    I try to boot on my A bios ( never touch ), and my machine boot ( very slowly, perhaps du to 1.0 bios that doesn't support officialy my Xeon )
    I am trying to repair my B bios before trying updating my A bios to 1.8
    But for now, no success
    What i have try :
    Clear CMOS, remove battery, without AC : KO
    Boot from A bios on DOS then launch the flash.exe : load bios to 100% then say me : error opening file for reading
    Boot from A bios with MSIHQ usb thumbs, hang to first step, prepare to backup the new bios
    Any idea people ?
    Thanks a lot !

    Hello to All !,
    I want to write "what I did" with all details because I want to help you to define the problem and help to your customers too....
    Same problem here... My machine mobo( X79A-GD65 (8D) ) was running on bios 1.8. After I download and install 1.11 it never boot up ( no display )
    And gave error code( bios led code ) "01". So I switched my bios to B section( bios v1.0 never touched ). And I updated it 1.0>1.8. Updated succesfully.
    Now I'm writing this message on my computer which is running on bios - B section v1.8. Interesting part is I can't clear my corrupted bios ( A section ) to 1.11 >to> 1.0 or 1.8 etc.
    So, I have some questions for you guyz please write an answer, I'll very glad to any input of yours...
    =Question ONE=
    I try to clear A section with removing mobo battery and pressing cmos clear button. This operation didn't clear it.
    ( * I didn't move CMOS jumper to the clear position because it hasn't a jumper and I didn't found one - Also I tried to hack it via metal cables - no luck  )
    I switched to B section and I saw B section's date and clock settings gone.... ( 01/01/2005 ) So that means I cleared cmos memory (?- I didn't understand that part either)
    Now I think, I can ask my question: How can I reset my bios A section with working in bios B section ?  Or what is the proper way to clear corrupted A section ?
    Also, I watched the video about - how to clear cmos "https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=31222.msg178956#msg178956", the cmos jumper pins are different compared with my mobo.
    Can you post an image or paint picture to on what pins that we should use a jumper ?
    =Question Two=
    You are definitly far better than 4sus company, why you didn't test this bios to all different computers  
    These operations that I told you eat my 4 hours( searching the problem; removed memory slots-noluck, removed cpu-noluck- try to hack cmos jumpers pins-noluck etc. ).
    So I'm very SORRY for my english but I'm very tried to write correctly... Thanks to all again... Best Regards from Turkey - Orka
