I'm having a problem with starting my computer, when i press the power button the fans spin, all the leds on the motherboard are blue.
During this starting phase off 10(+-)s on and 5 seconds off the motherboards debug led panel shows error 19, 60 and 53.
In the manual it is says: error 19: early south bridge initialization. Error 53: late Memory initialization. Error 60: as i see there is nothing that says
anything about error 60.
So i'm wondering how i can fix these problems.

Only add one memory module, i.e. remove the others for now. Then do a full CMOS clear with PSU power plug removed. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Retry.

MSI x79a-gd65 (8d) pci problem

Hello i have an issue that i need some help with.
I have the X79a-gd65(8D) MOBO, and my system works normal overall. So now i used in the past a soundcard on my previous system: Auzentech x-Meridian 7.1 2g. But it was broke, and in the meantime i bought my new system + these cards are not easy to get in the Netherlands. But recently i got an hold on it again, but forgot that this card uses the old pci connector, and there are none on this MOBO.
So i searched for an PCIe > PCI connector. Got that now, all good u say. But sadly it won't work, bcs the bridge is detected in Windows. But if i connect the card to it, the mobo won't boot properly. It keeps hanging on the 94 on the led, and there won't come any screen. According to the manual this code is for the PCI bus Initialization. What makes sense ofc.
However the soundcard is working properly on my older system, also if i try it with the bridge. So am confused here, and don't know what to do, so if there is someone that has ideas or suggestions to solve this (even if it was on another MOBO) let me know pls.
So summary:
MOBO = x79a-gd65(8d)
Soundcard = Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 2g with the older pci connection, working
PCIe > PCI bridge (connected on the PCIe x1 connector)
Windows 7 64bit Ultimate, does detect the bridge if standalone
But once soundcard is connected Mobo won't boot properly, no screen available bcs of this, and the led hangs on number 94 (PCI Bus Initialization)
Sorry for typo's, no native English.

Using a bridge messes with the pci clock. This affects audio output (skipping and the likes). It happens on every platform that uses a pci>pcie bridge under specific circumstances and it can't be fixed. The only real solution is to get another sound card.
The meridian is one hell of a card but it requires native pci support, without bridging, to work properly.
x79 supports pci, but pci is a legacy internal slot standard. Unlike external devices that you might still use on your new PC (like firewire cameras and the likes) you normally get newish internal devices.
Anyway, some recent pcie offerings from ASUS and Creative are semi-decent, but the only noteworthy sound cards currently on the market are the Soundblaster ZxR and the Asus Xonar Phoebus (including the solo version which lacks the extras). Those 2 are even be better than the meridian when it comes to sound quality.
Also, you could ebay the Meridian since a lot of people who want supreme audio on legacy systems will want to get one, even if overpriced. You could then use the money to buy one of the above.
My suggestion is to keep the Meridian for your old system since it's hard to get a good reliable pci sound card for cheap these days. But you'll of course need the $ to get a card for the new system.
Maybe iam just lucky, but for me it al works like an charm. No stuttering or delays, and it just works great, and hearing the sound i used to have like 3-4 years ago I can really find no issues atm.
@ Froggy: I used this one bcs i wanted an extra slot just in case and a flexible cable http://www.delock.com/produkte/F_377_PCIe-x1_41341/merkmale.html?setLanguage=en. I have the CM Storm Trooper case and planned it originaly for an vertical opening this case has, so that my other PCIe slots would stay free and available for expanding if needed. Would be a close call, to see if it would reach the spot, but sadly not. Also have seen other ones from like Startech, but none that had an long flexible cable. There where a few on ebay from China with like 15 cm what would be long enough, but that would take several weeks for delivery. Also not fond of extending the flexible cable and solder it, bcs of the very likely signal loss then + it is a real job and u need minitiny equipement for it So if u want a flexible cable, make sure u get the right length cable. By some creative modding and some usable stuff i could fit it in my case. Only my mic entrance is not available bcs it's just in my case, but since i use the front panel for mic iam ok with it.
Just an headsup, that u make sure the cable's u need are proper O also, besides the 4pin flopy connector for the bridge, for this MOBO the 4 pin molex on the bottom beneath the last PCIe must be powered or it also causes issues. So for other mobo's that would have an power slot to get extra power to the PCIe slots, it might be required for stuff to work. That u don't remove it bcs u need the room if u have multiple cards and extra stuff....

X79A -GD65 (8D) problem

X79A - GD65 (8D)
having problems i have just built my pc - I need to know, if the ATX 4 power socket jpwr3 needs a power lead connected to it from the psu, if i dont connect i get 3 beep codes 1 long 2 short which i think means no graphics but not sure also, if i do connect up i to psu everything runs, all the fans run and i have no warning debug lights come on, but i get no beep from the bios as if the motherboard is dead or cpu is dead whati need to know is that if the graphics card does not work will i still get the bios beep code if the cpu works. if not then my machine has died

X79A-GD65 (8D) dual bios flashing problem. One works, the other is bricked.

Hi guys,
First post but not excatly the right scenario I wanted to post under.
This all started when MSI updater decided out of no where to download and auto run the bios updater. Before I had a chance to close it, it had started the update process before I could close a number of program's that I was running. Obviously my windows decided to freeze on me. I had no choice but to reboot. On the restart my PC was stuck on a F2/F6 (could be F9) loop. So I switched to BIOS B and all was good in the world.
My attempts to recover BIOS A have been unsuccessful. I tried clearing the CMOS first, this caused the pc to reboot every ten seconds in instead of the auto recovery. I have yet to reach post yet. So I tried the forum flash method flipping the switch after the tool had loaded up back to A. No luck on 1.7 Or 1.7 beta 181. Done a mem test which ruled out the RAM as well. Not sure what to try next.
As stated before everything works fine on B, A must be super bricked or something. Either that or the forum flash method failed or I'm just doing it wrong.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Makes it risky for any future updating of the good chip without a second one to have as a safety net.
RMA is always an option. Should be no problem getting it covered under warranty.
I'm contemplating an RMA but i honestly feel it is more hassle then it's worth while it's working fine on B. I just won't bother updating the BIOS unless they release something which seriously effect's/help's me. This is the first motherboard i have had with a dual BIOS so i'm usually quite safe when it come's to updating things like this. Just my fault for a moment of stupidity.

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
32GB DDR3 G.Skill RipjawS Z 8x4GB FS-12800CL9Q2-32GBZL 1600mhz CL 9-9-9-24 1.5v
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.

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.

X79A-GD65 8D problem with built in BIOS utilities (browser, etc)

Good day. I have my X79A-GD65 8D running for about a week now paired with i7 3930k. The board is working wonderfully, however there is just one issue. After installing winki from the cd and returning to the bios to use the built in browser or MSI live update, the white splash screen appears for a while and shortly after a black screen appears and remains.
Ive tried leaving the disc in the drive and have the browsre run directly from the CD but still no luck. I've also borrowed the install DVD of a friend of mine who has an identical board but it still doesnt work.
Please note that I am on the latest BIOS, version 1.7.
Any help will be appreciated.

Must be talking about Winki? The Software Application User Guide covers it pretty well how it all works and such. Using Live Update is not recommended to be installed or used. Do all UEFI/BIOS updates and driver updates manually from the downloaded files available at the MSI Websites.

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!

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?

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.

X79A-GD65 8D DrMOS overheatiing

Hi
So I managed to get my setup working properly on BIOS 1.6. It is as follows:
3930K C2 (cooled with Corsair H100)
X79A-GD65 8D
4x4Gb gSkill 1866 RAM
MSI GTX 580 Twin Frozr II (cooled by a corsair H80)
Corsair GS700 PSU
Aerocool Xpredator Case
I made this setup mainly to render a video sequence with Maya 2012. The takes of this video are for an Airplane dogfighting game we're developing at my company, so the video is full of clouds and its pretty heavy on rendering. So I overclocked the 3930K to 4,6 and it were doing pretty fine until last night when the mobo turned off without any BSODs or any warning.
The processors were all using 100% of them during almost two days without a stop before they shut down... The highest temp on the hotest core were 73 Cº and the wattage consuption measured by CoreTemp were around 173W. By that time the Vcore was on 1.360mv and clocked on 4,6Ghz (100BCLK x 46), with every other voltage set on the mobo's default.
My DrMOS alarm were on so I imagined it reached the 130º and switched off. I didn't knew it managed to reach theses temps so easily though.
On my OC setting I messed ONLY with core voltage and PLL voltage, so everything else I lowered on the below description was from the default setting.
I'm trying many OC settings to lower DrMOS temps, as processor temps and voltages are OK. I don't know which voltages affect DrMOS at most, so I tryed to lower Agent Voltage first.
Got it from 1.224mv default to 1.100mv and worked nice, but DrMOS alarm was still getting on and after the 9th pass of Prime 95 it turned off with processors at 75º and 195W.
I finaly got it from shutting down when I started lowering Vcore and raising PLL. It achieved almost the same temps, and the alarm still got on, but it didn't switched off anymore.
I got 4,6Ghz (100 BCLK x 46) at 1.340mv with 1.840mv PLL, 1.100mv System Agent and all other voltages set on stock.
But as I live in Brazil and its pretty hot the temps here on this time of the year (ambient in an afternoon is about 27-30 Cº), I was wondering about the DrMOS Alarm that was still on on the 2nd pass of Prime 95...
Later I will try to lower Vcore even more and raise PLL a bit to see if it helps.
My question are:
1- Should I try to reaply thermal Paste to the DrMOS chips to the mobo heatsink? I have an MX-4 here.
2- Which voltage should I try to mess to lower the DrMOS Temps?
3- There is anyway on this mobo to change the TDP of the CPU? I didn't found this on BIOS... Only found option to enhance its OCP which apparently doesn't helps much...
Sorry for the long post. I only tryed to enlighten the situation the most with my poor english.
I apreciate any help.
Thank you very much

Fairly sure it is gray thermal tape being used. One simple test is to press down on the heatsink with a pencil erasor and wait a few seconds and see if the temperature starts to drop. If it does, you have a contact or alignment problem. Out of habit, before I mount the mainboard in the case, all the screws are checked for tightness on the backside of the mainboard.
I'll run Prime95 after the current render session ends and check that when the Alarm led apears.
Replace the gray thermal tape with the MX-4 would be a good idea?? I mean, if theres a tape, after removing it, wouldn't it leave a tiny gap space betwin the heatsink and the chips? To use the Paste they should be touching each other, right? or is it possible to apply the paste and tighten the screws to eliminate the gap? I did it once on my old mobo which I had one spare to try out, but I confess I'm pretty afraid of doing something wrong with this one...
I think that lowering Vcore and stabilizing the clock raising PLL might be working fine because it have been on a rendering session for almost 6 hours now and no alarm led so far. But I'm pretty sure that if it was Prime 95 the led would turn on in about 2 minutes... As the rendering despite using 100% processor power only consumes around 170W with this OC settings, and Prime 95 consumes around 195W. After the render is finished I'll mess a little bit more with that and check the temps and maybe try for 4.7Ghz with 24/7 voltages.
This processor is damm good! I'm geting pretty good clocks with very low voltages! If it weren't for these DrMOS geting this hot I think 5.0Ghz could be achieved or 4,8 - 4,9Ghz with 24/7 voltages...

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
- Try booting with RAM in DIMM 1 (all 4 modules)
- Cleared CMOS
- Switched from BIOS A to B
- tried changing gfx card

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 - 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?

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.

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 .

Re: X79A-GD65 8D Debug code 19 60 FF

Hi! I have got about the same problem. I recieved 2 days ago my X79A-GD65 8D and i am about to recieve an intel i7 3820. But yesterday after reading different posts i'm starting wondering if i can actually get the processor to work with the motherboard out of the box. I checked the bios chip but it only has a red dot on it:/ My serial number is 601-7760-010B12051XXXXXX. Thank you:)

Split this off for you, resurrecting old threads won't get you far.

You will need to contact msi directly to check your bios version via s/n. Although thatboard was produced may 2012, check the bios release date and compare.

Edited version;
Before the purchase of an Intel i7 3820 for your mainboard, please check the UEFI/BIOS version installed. In most cases, there are green stickers on the BIOS chips with the 'as shipped' version written on them. On my X79A-GD65(8D), there are no green stickers, only black chips with red dots. In that situation, the only option is to check the date of manufacture & compare it to the UEFI/BIOS release dates, or contact MSI Tech Support with the serial number so they can check for you what version was shipped on the mainboard.
How do I get my i7 3820 CPU supported? The answer is either use a CPU that is supported (i7 3930k or i7 3960X), & flash the version that supports it, take it to a pc shop that can flash for you, or send it to MSI & have them flash it for you. Please keep in mind, if the mainboard is equiped with two BIOS chips, have both chips A and B flashed.
