X79a-GD65 8D - Booting issue

Previously, I was having a few issues with my board. I was having the common error of CPU posting as well as memory issues. Since then, these have all mostly subsided.
X79A-GD65 (8d)
Apevia Warlock 1100w
Intel i7-3820
G Skillz 16GB (4x4)
EVGA nVidia 550 Ti (Fermi)
My current issue occurs at start up. When the computer has been turned off for some time, and I want to start it back up - it will not. In order to start up my computer, I have to hit the CMOS Reset on the back (on the io board) and then start up my computer. It's a minor inconvenience - but I shouldn't have to.
The board originally shipped with possibly Bios 1.0-1.1 (as stated by others, mine has a sticker with a red dot)..... I've since flashed to the latest (which I believe is 1.6 - successfully).
Any ideas as to why this is happening and how to remedy this?

tiaolipa, yes please start your own new topic with yor problem instead of asking for help in someone elses topic. Hijacking other peoples topic is against forum rules.

 When you do that provide the information Ron (HU16E) said to. See my signature below for an example of information to provide.
Sorry I didn't wanted to hijack the post. I'm new on this forum, and on another foruns I've been (mostly cars and engine preparation forums) people used to not post new topics about the same subject.
Anyway I found my solution. I updated the board with a C1 3960X and found that my PSU were 8 pin cable were not working properly with this board, but starngely worked well with my other board (Gigabyte Z68X UD4), so I just swaped PSUs and I'm fine.
Thanks for the helps and forum tips!

  • X79A-GD65 (8D) memory issues.

    Greetings Everyone! I've just joined this forum.
    My issue is that i cant use all eight memory sockets without the board getting stuck in POST with the debug code 67.
    I currently use the mainboard on this computer but with only 5 sticks in.
    The memorysticks i use are two sets of "Corsair 16GB (4x4096MB) CL9 1600Mhz VENGEANCE Quad Channel" totalling 32GB.
    I cannot add any of the remaining sticks in slot 4, 6 and 8. I've done it in all thinkable methods even test booting with every stick placed in every slot. took me a good two hours of testing.
    I've also tried the sticks in a Gigabyte 1366 motherboard with four slots and both sets run on it.
    I contacted Corsair and it looks like i have to send the memorysticks to them for a checkup but i wont know for sure until i hear from them later next week. I'll discuss the issue further with them then.
    This is my current set-up (i point out that the parts i've changed are the Mainboard, CPU and memory from the 1366 computer)
    Mainboard: MSI X79A-GD65(8D).
    CPU: Intel Core i7-3820.
    Memory: Two sets of Corsair Vengeance Quad channel 4x4Gb 1600MHz.
    Graphics card: Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 OC.
    Main boot device: WD 500Gb.
    PSU: Corsair HX-650

    Hi everyone and i must thank you for such speedy answers and support. 
    On the server issue. I do use alot of servers, not normal servers as you would think but gameservers. I like to run dedicated servers for like CS:S, Minecraft and such and i have startded playing ARMA:2 alot lately and i want to run them simultaneously for extended periods.
    I was planning to install ARMA:2 in the RAM because of its extreme loading times when editing maps and missions. And also i like to run Firefox, Java, WinRAR and other background programs from the RAM.
    I also want the amount of RAM for the pleasure of just having it. I understand how a primitive feeling that is but it feels good. 
    I understand now that i will never get all sticks to work but i do run 5 of them at this moment so i got 20GB of memory and already have set up a 12GB ramdisk.
    I will discuss the issue with Corsair when we get in touch on the Support thread i've created hoping to send my modules to them and change them to a 8 stick kit and me paying the shipment and differance in price.
    EDIT: Should i flash the BIOS anyway according to xmad's statement? Should i in that case default the BIOS and run only 2 sticks?
    p.s. I have got to stop editing these posts....

    Hello.
    My setup:

    ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner
    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)

  • 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) booting 32GB problem

    Hello guys i just buyed few days ago a new rig:
    Intel i7 3930K socket 2011 six core C2 3.2 ghz
    X79A-GD65 (8D) rev 1.1
    Bios 1.7 upgraded from came with 1.4

    The problem is I cannot boot at all with all ram slots active although it says on msi site its compatible with this ram. What am I doing wrong here?
    Please help thx in advance.

    Quote
    There are a good number of reasons the last dimm slot is not working. #1, there is a short or ground underneath the mainboard. Often caused by a standoff out of place. #2, you have a pin in the CPU socket that is bent. #3, CPU cooler is not mounted evenly. #4, faulty dimm slot, there is a problem with the dimm contacts in the slot, piece of foreign material or a contact finger damaged.
    Good catch, I was only responding to the immediate question of how to increase dram v.

  • MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) stability issues

    yeah, sorry see it now
    reason I asked is I've been having a hard time getting my memory to run reliably.  I'm using Corsair Vengeance, CML8GX3M2A1600C9 (4*4GB)
    http://www.corsair.com/memory-by-product-family/vengeance/vengeance-low-profile-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cml8gx3m2a1600c9.html
    machine will be stable for awhile then all of a sudden starts crashing, refuses to boot again to windows (bluescreens).  
    to fix it I goto bios, load default and then set the exact same settings, im guess its auto-detecting some setting wrong  

    Quote from: RemusM on 26-November-11, 01:19:09
    First of all, overclocking & overvolting are faulty activities.
    With new components you might get some stability for a while.
    But sooner or later you'll pay the price.
    Secondly, that link again:
    http://ark.intel.com/products/63697/Intel-Core-i7-3930K-Processor-(12M-Cache-3_20-GHz
    Max Memory Bandwidth: 21 GB/s
    4x4GB DDR3-1600 means double dual channel, in other words 2x12.8 = 25.6GB/s
    I'm sorry, your posts have nothing to do with my questions, I get that you want to run stock, but I don't and haven't since my 486
    Quote from: Bernhard on 26-November-11, 01:06:02
    It's quite possible that the actual voltages are lower than whats indicated in the BIOS. This is what I observed on the Z68 board when I use a Digital Multimeter. So increasing the voltages ever so slightly may solve the problem as the actual may be just a tad too low. Don't know if your board has V check points, but if it does, its worth your while checking them with a DMM.
    I can look into that, dont have info yet on measurement points, but increasing the SA voltage is definitly helping.  I'm able to run prime95 for hours now, before max ~20-30 min

  • 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?

  • 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).

  • Msi x79a-gd65 8d BSOD and Ram issue, Code 67

    Hi,
    Specs as follows:
    Mobo: msi x79a-gd65 8d (Bios: latest 4.4)
    CPU: 3960x
    RAM: 2x8GB Corsair dominator platinum 1866MHZ (CMD16GX3M2A1866C10)
    PSU: CM 1000watt
    GPU: EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4GB
    Mobo came back from MSI and they said there were bend pins, they fixed the bent pins. However the mobo still BSODs on stock settings and does not want to boot with 2x8Gb. It only boots with 1 stick.
    I also get the code 67.
    The mobo is only stable when I enable OC genie and run 1 ram module
    Please help, thanks in advance!

    >>Clear CMOS<< and retry. If no help try the second stick in any mem slot and see if it boots in any while other stick is installed too. If not try each stick individually to check if both are working.

  • 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.

    Everything runs as they should; all fans spinn, even the graphics card fan, the LED lights "DRR PHASE" and "CPU I/O PHASE" are blue (can't see the CPU PHASE one because its covered by some Military Class thingy).. the only LED not showing is the HDD one, but since it doesnt even boot its not active. No warning LEDs or so...
    I figure its the PSU, but 850W should work fine...
    anyone with a clue?

    Quote from: KaizerKaizer on 10-March-12, 18:15:14
    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.

    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) - 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?

    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).

    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.
