X99S SLI Plus/4 sticks of G.Skill/No POST

Same as some others.  4GB G.Skill (F4-3000C15Q-16GRK) placed in 1, 3, 5 and 7 ... does not POST.  In troubleshooting this, I removed all except #1 and it POSTed.  Ditto #1, #3.  Ditto #1, #3 and #5.  Added #7 and no POST.  I moved all four sticks aroun...

Thanks for the reply.

  • X99 SLI plus and Quad Channel issues

    Hey guys. I just managed to get some time to throw together my new rig, and am experiencing a very frustrating problem.
    I bought the ms9 x99 SLI plus, 4x4 gigs of G.Skill ripjaws 2666 ram, and a 5820k.
    I initially put it all together, and it wouldn't post. After a process of elimination I discovered it would post with 12gb of RAM in slots 1,5, and 7. But as soon as I add one to 3, it's hooped. It also won't boot with 1,3,5, or 1,3. It will boot with 1,7, just 1, just 7 etc.
    I've browsed the forum and found that this problem with these exact parts has arisen in the past, but I couldn't find a definitive answer. I also took a look at the CPU socket and didn't see any bent pins.
    I installed windows fine, it runs fine, installed drivers etc (and its hella fast), but I do need that additional RAM for work. I'm planning on updating the BIOS tonight, and I tried clearing the CMOS early on.
    Also I know its not the RAM as it boots with each stick by themselves. It seems to be a Quad channel issue, or a DIMM3 issue.
    Any information is greatly appreciated. It's a super sexy board and I'd hate to have to dismantle, send it back, etc. I'm going to Hawaii in a week and was hoping to have all this working.
    Thanks in advance!

    Unfortunately you will have to. There is no magic and this is obviously hardware issue, whether it's the board or CPU.
    Start with inspecting CPU socket pins. You will need a magnifying glass or you can take clear macro pictures of the socket.
    Best do it on a bench outside the case, any non-conductive surface will do, wood table, cardboard etc. don't use antistatic bag.
    Be very careful when mounting/unmounting the CPU, do not touch socket pins and CPU contacts with your fingers.

    I try everymemory stick in each bank to try start my comp, but nevertless it wont boot again. I have RMA my board and they have tested and works fine!
    I dont know if the memory is compatible or the bios must be update! they will do this weak to check and if need they will update it. Can someone please advice me  something to do ?!

  • MSI X99 SLI Plus won't power up

    Hi, here is what I got:
    Motherboard: MSI X99 SLI Plus
    Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K
    Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 series 64GB (8 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2800
    Power Supply: CORSAIR RM Series RM1000 1000W ATX12V v2.31
    GPU: ZOTAC ZT-90101-10P GeForce GTX 970 4GB 256-Bit DDR5
    The symptom detail is this:
    1.If I power on (either through power button on case or MB) for the first time, only the fan that connected to PSU directly will spin for half of second. And then it stop and system is total slient.
    2.After that if no matter how many time I push the power button nothing happen.
    3.If I clear the CMOS and try power up, then step 1 happen.
    4.The only thing that lit-up in MB is the built-in power button
    Here is what my system look like
    So far I have try to switch out different GPU and switch around the RAM stick but still does nothing. Any suggest will be very helpful tome. Thank you.

    Take it all out the case and inspect the board for any visual defects.
    Place it on non-conductive surface (wood, cardboard, NOT antistatic bags) and test with one stick of RAM (try different odd numbered slots) and VGA card. Make sure all power connecters are well connected.
    Next step, test with another PSU if you have one.
    Check CPU socket for bent pins, either with magnifying glass or you can take clear macro photos with good light and inspect them.
    Best not to install anything in the case until you made sure it's working, at least the main pats (CPU RAM VGA) and main hard drive, it's nearly no overhead and saves a lot of time when turns out bad.

  • X99S SLI Plus --- No Display from Graphics card?

    Hey guys, this is my first build in about 8 years (ive been out of the game a long time), so I am far from being up to date. I have limited parts for testing and swapping so, swapping cpus, ram etc isnt much of an option, ive tested 2 video cards same issue on both.
    X99S SLI Plus
    i7 5930k
    GTX 980 Classified (also have a 740 for testing)
    4x4 gig DDR4 2400 (Installed in 1-3-5-7) G.Skill Ripjaw
    EVGA NEX 750 G Modular power supply
    NZXT Kraken X61 cpu cooler
    EVOS 250gig SSD
    WD 1b HDD and an HP Optical drive
    Hook everything up, and no signal to monitor whatsoever. Have tried unhooking EVERYTHING except bare minimums and still nothing. Does same thing on 2 different cards. Any help?

    Hi
    Try >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed
    Also try with single RAM stick and outside of the case, on non conductive surface like wooden table or motherboard box.

  • Random shutdowns X99S SLI Plus, ms-7885

    Hello,
    I'm trying to narrow down some random shutdowns. These seemed to be completely random and could happen with the computer idling. The computer just shutdowns and reboots. Nothing in the log, no BSOD. I have tried to trigger the problem by running CPU and GPU stresstests without success.
    Until wither 3 came out. With witcher 3 the problem is 100% reproducible. Start witcher 3 => shutdown.
    I can play other games for hours without any problems.
    Can someone give a hint on how to find the problem?

    Tried to run with only two memory sticks, no problem with that. Even if I switch one it works. But with three it crashes after I exit witcher 3. Wierd since I can play the game without problem.
    Ran some memtests one only one stick in. Only got errors in the "hammer test" which I guess is ok.
    Put all four memories in again and ran memtest over the night. It ran one pass and after that the comp shut down and rebooted.
    Downclocked memory to 1333 and ran 4 passes memtest without any crash. Some hammer test errors only.
    I'm now trying to run at 2200 and it seems fine. I can play witcher and exit without any crash.
    Is it the memory or the MB? Or just a bad combo?

  • MSI X99 SLI Plus - Won't Post

    I've got:
    Motherboard: MSI X99 SLI Plus
    Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K
    Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2400
    Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX
    It's a new build and I can't get it to post. When I try to turn it on, a red LED located next to the 24 pin ATX power connector comes on and will not go off until I cut the power at the Power Supply. I can't find anything online concerning the red LED. Is it some overvoltage protection? An issue with the memory? I'm at a loss trying to diagnose this. Please see the images below:

    Hello.
    I'm having the exact same issue.
    My computer was running with no issues for over 1 month and today when i tried to start it this exact issue happened.
    The lights on the rest of the motherboard are working (CMOS, Power, OC Genie) but it won't post.
    I have tried to reset the CMOS, re-seated and tried various configurations for the RAM, tried both BIOS and OC Genie on and off and the issue remains.
    Could this be a PSU issue? If so, would the remaining lights work?
    Anyone else had this issue and how did you fix it?
    Thank you in advance!

  • MSI X99 Sli Plus can't boot Quad Channel

    Hello,
    some days ago i bought my new x99 Sli Plus.
    I installed everything, right now it's running with a 5820k and 2x4 Gskill 2400 Mhz ddr4.
    The main problem is that the system can boot only with 2x4 Block in the DIMM 1 and DIMM 5 position.
    If i try to use all my DDR4 modules ( actually 4x4) the system wont boot.
    I put in triple channel (3x4GB ) in DIMM 1-3-5 and in quad channel (4x4GB) in DIMM 1-3-5-7
    No Signal and no boot image.
    I've tried some Corsair DDR4 running at 2666.
    Same problem.
    It only boots in dual channel on DIMM1 and 5.
    that's how i insert the modules.
    Thanks for the reply.

    Hi,
    Is my understanding towards your post correct: your system boots only in Dual Channel, but also only when using slots 1&5?
    Try each slot individually with only 1 RAM stick.
    Check around the CPU socket and RAM DIMMs looking for any colour changes, smell, scratches or anything like that. If you find nothing, then my last suggestion is you check the CPU socket looking for bent pins (make sure to use magnifying glass and bright light).
    As additional,possible, solution:
    There was someone with pretty similar issue. From my understanding, what they did is that for every time they've inserted a SINGLE stick, they went to BIOS settings, saved and shut down to insert another one (saved just to make sure BIOS/motherboard recognised the RAM stick inserted).
    So my suggestion for now is:
    Go to BIOS as with 2 sticks.
    Manually change timings to: 15-15-15-35, 1.2V (check box of the RAM to make sure what they are, but according to GSkill that's timings used for 2400MHz DDR4)
    Save and Shut Down.
    Insert 1 stick (to appropriate slot). Try to boot.
    If boots, go into BIOS, check that timings remained unchanged, save and shut down. Do the same for 4th stick.
    If you find nothing, and nothing works, I suggest you contact the seller.

  • MSI X99S SLI Plus Persistant Boot Issue

    I upgraded my system 4 months ago with an X99S SLI Plus, i7 5820, GTX780, Avexir Platinum 16GB (4x4GB) DDR4 RAM
    The boot procedure has never been problem free and has now settled into the following sequence
    1 Press START
    2 Freezes at MSI Logo or Windows start
    3 Press RESET
    4 Windows REPAIR/START as NORMAL screen appears
    5 Select NORMAL
    6 Windows starts and thereafter runs without problems
    Usually steps 2 to 5 have to be repeated one or more times
    Very occasionally it will boot straightaway
    I use W7 64 and have BIOS 1.5
    All drivers are up to date
    I use OC Genie which overclocks to 3.8. These problems occur whether OC Genie is enabled or not.
    If I use SLEEP rather than SHUTDOWN it will restart without any problems.
    Any assistance with this annoying problem would be appreciated.
    PS Not sure if this is related, but the XMP option doesn't appear next to the OC Genie button though the RAM is described as XMP enabled

    test it with 1 memory stick only, see if the issue will still exist when you do this

  • MSI X99S SLI Plus & Samsung XP941 SSD

    Hello All,
    I have just put a system together using the MSI X99S SLI Plus board and a Samsung XP941 M2. SSD.
    The base build is done and I have tested it for stability and all is ok (Windows installed onto the M2. SSD in PCIe mode).
    I have connected drives to SATA ports 2-6 (intentionally left 1 out for now, another SSD later); the system boots with no issues from the M2.SSD.
    I experience issues when I connect drives to the SATA ports 7 and 8. When drives are connected to these ports, the system does not correctly detect the M2.SSD. Note, ports 5&6 have been left disconnected as per the manual.
    During bootup in this configuration the system will report that the M2.SSD is:
    ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ
    (yes y with the two dots above).
    In short, it does not detect it correctly, if the system is left to boot it just shows a blinking cursor in the top left of the screen.
    The only way I have been able to get around this issue has been to set the sSATA (ports 7-10) to IDE mode, this then allows the system to detect the SSD and all appears to work. I don't want to use the sSATA controller in IDE mode and would like to get it working in AHCI mode.
    Has anyone else experienced this or have any recommendations on what I could try? I have attempted other configurations to get this working to no avail.
    Thanks for any help!

    I RMA the my MSI SLI PLUS X99S for the second time. Explained about the quad channel is not working even  the bank 5 , 6 , 7 and 8 are not working with a single memory stick. Iam done with it they have tested in 1,2,3,4  but thats dual channel. the have not tested it on bank  5.6.7 and 8. Can someone here from MSI contact Alternate.nl Netherlands (holland) from the reseller to return this Board. I payd for the Quad channel feature and not dual channel . I tested it again not working! iam realy angry about this, because i have spend lot of money for this and the quad channel doesnt even work with the latest bios i installed even downgrade it to 1.4 !  Please one of the helpdesk to contact them thank you!

  • MSI X99 SLI PLUS Memory Issue

    Guys,
    When I try to do Quad Channel DDR4, the system will not post. Currently, I have an 8GB Sticks in Slot 1, 3, 5. When I place a stick into slot 7, the system won't post. If I remove one from 3 or 1, it will post. Currently able to use 24GB/32GB. I opened a support case and they told me to re-seat my CPU and check my power supply... not impressed. I see BIOS .162 floating around the forum not sure if that would help.
    Also to note, I have moved the DIMMs around to different sockets, I had one that showed up in socket 3 as 4GB, swapped socket 5 and 3, both now show 8GB.

    It's on the compatibility list, may not be compatibility problem...
    http://www.msi.com/support/mb/X99S-SLI-PLUS.html#support-mem
    Try clear CMOS, if it still have problem...
    You can also try to flash to BIOS 1.62 to see if help or not.
    Are you able to try on another motherboard, or borrow another DDR4 to test if defect mem-slots?
    I have taken the following steps:
    1. Upgrade BIOS to 1.5
    2. Reset BIOS to Default State
    3. Reset CMOS
    4. Moved the DIMMs to different slots, including the one I cannot place in the system since it won't post with a 4th DIMM.
    As noted, for some time, I was not able to get more than 20GB to show up in the BIOS, only after re-seating and moving DIMMs around was it finally able to see 3 x 8GB sticks. Are you able to give me the errata for the 162 BIOS as well as the "Fix/Change" list I'm all for giving it a shot, just want to know what I'm getting into.

  • X99S SLI Plus Windows start problem

    Hello everyone,
    A few days ago I was using my Windows 8.1 x64 in legacy mode and was working normally.
    I made an update in the bios to the version E7885IMS V1.70(170) and decide to format and use the UEFI mode with MSI fast boot and the Windows 8.1 feature. But now when turn on my computer appears the MSI logo with the windows load screen and then it freeze in this screen, I got to turn on my computer if I go2bios and exit than start, but now when I made this again the windows screen is loading forever. Is there any known issue about this?
    Follow my config:
    X99S SLI Plus
    Intel Core i7-5960X
    32GB G.Skill 2400Mhz
    GeForce GTX 780 ti
    480gb Intel SSD 730 Séries
    Thanks at all foks.

    Hi
    Was Win 8.1 actually installed in UEFI mode? Make sure it is first.
    In the meantime,  >>Clear CMOS<< and see if you can boot normally without any features being enabled.
    Your graphics card got latest vBIOS that is UEFI compatible? Contact manufacturer for vBIOS with UEFI support.

  • 4-pin CPU-PWR connector on x99s SLI Plus

    I'm attempting to install a Kraken x-61 cooler into my Corsair 780T case and the MSI X99S SLI Plus mobo.  One step says:
    Connect the 3-pin power cable from the pump to the 4-pin CPU-PWR connector on the motherboard.
    In the MSI x99S SLI Plus mobo and the manual (En-6) I can't find anything called CPU-PWR.  The 3-pin power cable fits into the 4-pin CPUFAN1 connector, but I don't know if that's the correct connection.  Could someone tell me where the CPU-PWR connector is on the MSI X99S SLI Plus motherboard?

    it can be confusing to start with but you get used to it once you have done it a few times!
    so yes connect it to the fan header for CPU as that line has a sense pin that will detect if your pump fails and will shut the computer off to prevent the CPU overheating to stop it breaking the processor! just take your time and anything your not sure of feel free to ask us!

  • X99S SLI Plus losing drive connectivity

    My new X99S SLI Plus is losing connectivity to drives in SATA ports 5 & 6 (the two Sata Express ports).  They are ADATA SSDs.  The Intel RAID controller is in RAID mode, and I was trying to get 4 of these drives on ports 3-6 into a RAID5 array. 
    At first, the controller wouldn't even see the last two drives.  I've flashed to latest BIOS and latest Intel drivers and now it sees the drives, but the array constantly goes into rebuild.
    Any suggestions?
    Thx!

    Hello,
    Did you try to change other cable to test? What does BIOS show under Settings--System Status, you see 2 of your SSD or all of them can be detected?
