Z77a-gd65 stuck at boot?

Hey there, I have a z77a-gd65, I run the v10.0 bios on bios 1, I switched to bios2, and used the msi flashing tool usb thing on here on the forums and the v10.11 I think, 7751vAB.zip to be exact, and it flashed fine, all went well, can enter bios settings etc etc.. but then when it gets to booting phase, it hangs (led screen on mobo shows 38, no idea what that means), and it just sits there. and I tried disabling all booting options and set my Samsung evo 840 as the boot where I have windows installed, it hung for maybe 30 seconds then said insert proper boot media like it would if there was no data on the drive, so I panicked and switched to bios 1.. all is working well nothings changed at all.
So it must be something to do with the latest bios update?
I have a 2500k, z77a-gd65, 16gb corsair xms.
I did all the steps and guides id found, bios 2 was default at flash infact id never used bios 2 ever, but it booted fine etc, also this board is only 3 months old if less, but I just wanted to see if anything was new in the new bios.
So what do I do with bios 2 now?
Thanks!

iv fixed it, I updated to 10.8 bios and it boots, wouldn't boot with 10.10 or 10.11 though.
In this bios, I cant changed my cpu multiplyer on the standard settings though, I have to use the rubbish oc genie to overclock? and under load, before I used 4.5ghz 45x multiplyer. Im at that using the genie custom settings, but under load it drops to 44x for some reason, any idea why?

  • Z77A-GD65 Win7 64bit boot fail followingMSI Live Update 5 Firmware update

    Hi,
    For some reason I decided to have a go with MSI Live Update 5 auto update today (having not used it previously in the 1.5years I've owned this system.
    Running in Win 7 64 bit, it performed an 'update' and then the system completely crashed (as in turned off and on again). On reboot the system only went as far as the BIOS flash screen.
    It failed to boot form the SSD boot drive and a message saying "Reboot with Proper Boot Drive".
    I booted into BIOS (version  10.11) and the boot drive is still recognised.
    I tried a reboot and the same error.
    I tried to boot backup within BIOS and saw a message flash that ended with "Failed to initialize MSI-X".
    None of the MSI applications work, it doesn't boot into Windows and I'm stuck.
    Can anyone suggest how I might be able to get Windows back and running without having to do a full reinstall? I can't seem to get the backup software to work now so I'm a bit stuck. If I try and do a full flash of the drive and start again, will it fix the issue or is the problem with the motherboard/bios setup?
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    System spec:
    MSI Z77A-GD65
    Intel i7-3770k 3.5Ghz
    Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB RAM
    Win7 64Bit

    YES
    OK, so I found a few people on Tom's Hardware message board that seem to have the same issue with this latest BIOS update from MSI so at least it's not just me.
    I reset CMOS
    I set BIOS to default
    I downloaded the BIOS ME from an older version 10.8 of BIOS that I knew worked fine (from another computer)
    Flashed BIOS with USB
    Booted the system with Win7 64 OEM CD
    Selected Repair Mode
    Let it do its thing
    I'm back in business from where I left off.
    Won't be touching the BIOS update again unless I can be absolutely sure its going to be stable on my MB.
    RE: Legacy and UEFI
    After installing 10.11, it defaulted to UEFI only but I changed the setting to Legacy and UEFI. It didn't fix the issue though.
    I've rolled back, it works again so I'm happy other than the fact I've lost almost a full day of work over it.
    Cheers xmad

  • Help!!! Z77A-GD65 will not boot!

    Hi guys, I've been running the following setup since may without any fault at all until last night. I don't really overclock at all, only used OC Genie a few times.
    MB: MSI Z77A-GD65
    CPU: Intel i5 3570K
    CPU COOLER: Corsair H60
    GPU: MSI N560GTX-Ti
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 4gb modules x 4 @ 1600mhz
    PSU: Corsair TX650w
    SSD: Samsung 830 128gb x 2
    Tower: Corsair Carbide 500R
    OS: Windows 7 64 Bit
    DD: Samsung Blu-Ray
    It won't boot in either BIOS, the code that stays constant on the debug led is 37. The whole fan system turns on, including the hydro cooler and gpu fans. You turn the system on and the cpu power flow led's flicker until they settle at just led's 1 and 2. The alarm led never turns on. Nothing comes on the screen, yet the monitor senses a signal. Any ideas what could be the culprit here??? My last MSI mobo has been running since 2003 so I'm kind of stumped here... By what I've read it could be the power supply, but I'm stumped... Please help!

    Swap out the discrete graphics card and try with the onboard. Remove the power cord, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS, if it will now get in the UEFI/BIOS, reset boot order and other settings, retest. I believe the 37 is the CPU temp reading beginning with some of the newer BIOS releases? Monitor or VGA might be the culprit.

    >>Posting Guide<<
    please give a more detailed list of parts your using in your machine as what you post is always the only thing we have to base any reply on as we do not have your actual machine to see what is there!
    1: possibly bad or incompatible memory so what memory you using?
    2: what PSU do you have as it may just be that there isn't enougth power to fuel the machine (give us the +12V rail/s rating/s)?
    3: have you connected the 8pin CPU power header and is it fully seated?
    4: have you tried the board outside of your case on a non conductive surface?
    5: have you checked the CPU socket to see if any of the small connection pins are bent with a bright light and a magnifier as thats a common problem?

  • Z77a gd65 doesn't boot/power off

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my z77a gd65. It doesn't boot anymore. Each time I need to clear CMOS. Also when I do a shutdown or restart it doesn't respond anymore. (all leds on motherboard are off except the first one of the CPU_PHASE leds). Shutdown or restart have the same effect when i try them in windows or bios, even the buttons on the board have the same results. Only the fans keep spinning. It doesn't power off anymore, I need to unplug the power cord.
    It has worked for over 2 months, it just happened yesterday. I haven't installed or changed anything that day.
    I haven't overclocked the mainboard.
    I tried the latest BIOS version, but this didn't solved the problem
    I removed all other hardware (videocard, hdd, dvd,...) but still same problem
    Any suggestions
    thanks

  • MSI z77a-gd65 doesn't boot 55 error

    Hello!
    I have a problem with my pc
    When I click the power button the pc is on a loop and nothing appears on the monitor.
    The code that appears in the motherboard display is 55.
    My pc was working without any problems for two weeks.
    Someone can help me clarify what's going on?
    Thank you!
    My system:
    MSI GD65-z77a
    Intel Core i5-2500K
    Ripjaws Gskill 1600MHz CL9 DC-X 8GB
    ASUS GForce GTX 560 DC II TOP
    Windows 7 64Bit Uiltimate
    WD 500GB SATA3 BLUE
    AEROCOOL SRTIKE X 600W

    Hi pmec, got any further with this issue? I have a similar/the same problem with the same mobo.
    I have the same LED error number, though mine did it straight away on the first boot.
    I don't think the RAM is faulty as it is a set of 4 sticks and I've tried all of them on their own in slot 1 (though I guess it might be that the whole batch was faulty).
    I also tried booting without any RAM at all to see if it behaved exactly the same, but there is a slight difference, I'm not sure if it means anything.
    When there IS a stick in, the display jumps very quickly to showing '55' after the power is pressed then runs for a few seconds and reboots.
    When there ISN'T a stick in, the display jumps quickly to showing '22' (iirc, I'm at work atm) then a couple of seconds later moves on to '55' before it reboots.
    Maybe you could see if you get the same behaviour with no memory sticks in, I don't know what it would mean but it might help more knowledgeable people here to narrow down the problem?
    If not maybe it's a different issue...

  • Z77A-GD65 no longer boots with 4 RAM modules

    I had 4 x 8GB Cosair Vengeance LP that used to work fine, but no longer boots into Windows with 4 but only with 2 RAM modules.  Any help in solving the issue would be appreciated. ( I need 32 GB as I run many virtual machines )
    The 4 modules worked fine for few months until couple weeks ago,  when I saw issues with booting into Windows 7. The workaround was to "warm up" by leaving the PC in BIOS for about 5 minutes and it would boot fine.  Since couple days ago, it would POST but not boot into Windows or into live Linux on USB, so I started troubleshooting with bare bones first ( MB, CPU, 1 RAM, PS ) and then starting adding more and more components until I found that  1 and 2 RAM modules worked in either black or blue rail but with 4 RAM modules, it will POST, but not boot at all into either USB based live system or into Windows 7.
    Memtest with 2 separate sets of modules pass with flying colors. Mixing the sets work fine too, but add 2nd set (i.e. 4 modules) and it fails to boot.  I am leaning more toward believing the issue is with the MB than with the RAM since mixing them doesn't throw any memory error.
    Any suggestion on how to check if it's the RAM or MB ?

    What voltage is the RAM running? A slight bump up in voltage might help.
    As to voltage, I started with standard 1.5 and then incrementally upped it to 1.65v. At 1.6v and above, it does boot into Windows, but intermittently goes into BSOD... Works perfect with 1.5v with 2 RAM modules.
    I'll save the money for next build instead of going for 32GB kit.  ... guess I'll live with 16GB for now. 
    Thank you all for the advice.

  • Boot issue with Z77A-GD65

    I have a Z77A-GD65 board with 16GB of DDR3 RAM (4x4GB DIMMS) and an I5 Ivy Bridge CPU, Samsung 830 128GB  SSD and 2x 4TB HDD's.
    Last night my system was working perfectly. Today it won't boot into an OS.
    When I would power up the system this morning, it started went through the Intel Matrix RAID BIOS fine then did a few status codes in the bottom right and ended up on A2 as the current code and sat there forever... I let it set for 15 minutes about no change.
    I pulled the HDD's and SSD off first, same code
    I pulled the USB and ethernet now the code changed to D0 still nothing, just hangs there.
    I switched the BIOS switch to the second one, same result.
    I pulled the BIOS battery and power and let it sit for a while, plugged it back in and put the battery back in... same result..
    What's going on? I'm not sure where to go nor do I know the exact meaning of the codes given

    what is your bios version?
    The BIOS that went nuts was A.B0, I did get it to boot though, just not with that BIOS...
    I pulled all the cards, all the memory, anything plugged in HDD/SDD etc.. only thing left was onboard DVI and keyboard... cleared the CMOS again with the back button and it went into a never ending reboot loop.... switched it to the second bios via the switch on the motherboard, cleared the CMOS again, and bingo it booted... I think that BIOS 1 is corrupt... not sure what caused it, haven't done any updates or anything since A.B0 came out. And haven't made any hardware changes in that time either... worked great until this morning turned it on and boom It was stuck at A2 on the BIOS startup.
    My question now is, how do I reflash BIOS 1? I read somewhere before I think that I have to do a multi bios update, but not sure how to go about doing that.

  • Varying boot times - Z77A-GD65

    I have a new build and find that the boot times seem to vary for no apparent reason. Most of the time I will see the MSI splash screen within 15 seconds and then it boots quickly into windows. However, some times it will hang up on codes A2, B4, C3, or CA for up to 45 seconds before the splash screen appears and then it boots fine. I will note that no matter how long the boot takes, the system runs flawlessly and has never crashed or had any odd behavior other than the varying boot times. I see from the manual that A2 and B4 are Onboard Devices Initialize and Detect, but this happens randomly without changing any of the onboard devices. I ran memtest86 on the ram for over 12 hours and 6 passes and got no errors.
    Anyone else have this experience or any suggestions on what may be causing it? I'm OK with it if others have the same experience and it is normal. I'm just concerned that it is a sign of some sort of problem.
    First post, thanks in advance.

    Noctua NH-U12P SE2 heatsink
    Corsair Obsidian 550D Case

    I tried disabling the PCIE GEN3 and I don't think it helped. I did a few restarts and still got a hang up on CA, whatever that is. Thanks for the codes. The most common ones I get seem to be:
    A2 - IDE Detect
    B2 - Legacy Option ROM initialization
    B4 - USB Hot plug
    C3 or C6 - OEM BDS Initialization Code
    CA - no idea
    The strangest thing is that I would say 7 out of 10 times it starts up perfect. The other 3 it will hang on something, but then it still boots and runs perfect. It just strikes me odd that I can make no changes whatsoever and it can go from perfect to hanging up. If anyone has any other suggestions for any of those codes, please feel free to respond. Thanks.

  • Z77A-GD65 Wont Boot Without Clearing CMOS. Gets Error 32.

    Hi!
    I just switched GPU from 2x 7950 to 980.
    I cleared drivers etc etc and was powering down my pc for the replacement. took out the cards and put in the 980.
    When i later was trying to boot, i got debug error 32, which is early cpu initialization. So i checked all the cables and tried again. Same thing.
    Took everything out and reinserted it again. Same error. even tried the to take out each ram to see. Still nothing.
    I later cleared cmos and the computer booted. but then when i restart i doesnt boot until power everything down and clear cmos again.
    Do you guys have any idea?
    My specs are

    Tryreplacing battery. Also could try to run it with single Ram stick and outside of the case.
    I Couldn't wait so i went to town and bought me a battery, didn't change anything.
    I've tried running a single RAM in each slot, just to try. no change there. Still error 32.
     I've also test it outside the case now and still no difference.
    Otherwise i've noticed i can boot if i press the reset button exact when debug code 55 shows. It's really weird. doing this way all bios settings are still there and i can test my pc with OC. I've played Dying Light on it this way with no problem at all. except this annoying code 32 who reappers everytime i restart my computer and hinders it to boot...
    EDIT: Also sometimes (very rare), it starts at first boot.

  • Boot Loop Issues - MSI Z77A-GD65 - Solved

    Picked myself up an MSI Z77A-GD65 as well as some Kingston 2x 4GB RAM sticks with a i5 2500k.
    After getting everything installed, it just boot-loops on me showing me no boot menu, with a debug code of 55.
    If I take out one of the RAM sticks and just use the #2 slot, it boots fine (but after starting windows, it flashes some blue screen and it boots again. I'm thinking that's only because I haven't installed any drivers and still have the old drivers from my motherboard. Yes/No?).
    But as soon as I put the second stick in, it will not boot (swapped sticks and it boots fine with one stick). I've tried 1/3 and 2/4 and the only slot that seems to work is #2 (#4 slot won't boot with one stick in it). Tried each stick in each slot. 1/2 work, but 3/4 will not
    I'm guessing this isn't a RAM issue but a MOBO issue? I sense an RMA in my future....

    I would if I could. Best way I can describe it is that the pins are all kind of bent at an angle (imagine an L shape, but upside down). Now take the bottom of the L (where it's small and turns) and kind of bend that facing the ceiling. It's kind of like that...

    Why is this thread in the Intel duo/quad section?
    What are the amps on the PSU +12V rail(s)? And how old is it? Suggest to keep just the one RAM stick in the primary DIMM slot and do a fresh OS install with the Mode set to AHCI. BTW, what is the OS? 32 or 64 bit?
    Good question. I think I was very tired/annoyed when I made this, and I guess I didn't look properly. If any mods can move it, or need me to take it down, I can.

    I don't have a problem doing a fresh install, but would like to make sure it's nothing else before hand. If I do a fresh install, and I still have to RMA the board, I would have to do another one to put all my old stuff back in, and I wouldn't really have a PC until the new board came (I mean I could still use it, but would have to re-install stuff and it seems like a bit of a pain if I don't *have to).

  • Z77A-GD65 not booting

    Hi
    I just bought 2 new AX1200 PSU for my MSI Z77A-GD65.
    I have connected the 24pin and the 8 pin "CPU Cable" to the board.
    Beside this there is nothing connected to the board (no HD, Monitor etc.). The board is not in the case yet but on a cardboard.
    When pressing the power button on the Motherboard the PSU just clicks once and then nothing. On the board nothing lights up. The fans (CPU and PSU) do not move at all.
    Then I tried with my second AX1200 PSU - same result. So I thought the problem relies to either the board or on the RAM. I took back the Motherboard to the shop where I bought it and we tested the board with a no name PSU and it works fine.
    Next thing I tried then was to replace the supplied original cables from the first PSU set with the second PSU set. No success here as well, still just one click.
    The only thing I'm doing different than the guys in the shop (they used VGA) is to either connect no monitor or connect my TV trough HDMI. Both are not working either. Is it required to have a monitor connected at all and if yes does it matter whether I use HDMI or DVI or VGA?
    Any help, tips and hints are highly appreciated

    Quote
    What is the RAM? Brand and description. For initial startup it is recommended that only 1 RAM stick be used and placed in the DIMM2 slot.
    Don't know the RAM brand but as it was working in the shop when we tested it with the noname PSU I assume it's not an issue.
    When testing in the shop we had 2 banks in Slot 2 and 4 but i tried as well 1 and 3 and just with one single stick myself (slot 1 and as well slot 2).
    Quote
    Use the onboard graphics port other than HDMI to a monitor. Visual is required otherwise nothing can be set properly in the UEFI/BIOS.
    Will try this later today. I'd assume the board should start up as well without any monitor connected or is it required to configure this initially in the BIOS setup?
    Quote
    Not sure I understand what the term 'boot' means in your topic title. You mean no POST? Boot is OS loading.
    When pressing the power button on the board just nothing happens: one click on the PSU, blank screen, no fans (CPU, PSU) spinning up.

  • Z77A-GD65 + MSI GTX 780Ti = No Boot!

    Hello all,
    I have a Z77A-GD65 Motherboard, and I've just got my new MSI GTX 780Ti last night.
    However when I install the graphics card, the PC won't boot properly. - all I can see is a line ( _ ) at the top left of the screen, and "B2" on the bottom right.
    The PC beeps about 3 times if I just leave it, and after the 3rd beep the screen refreshes and the line ( _ ) starts blinking.  but that's it.
    No boot, no post, nothing.
    I have an 850watt powersupply, and I have been running 2x 660s up till now, so i'm sure that it's not a power problem.
    Also, I have tested the 780Ti in my friend's PC (G1.Sniper 3) and it works perfectly fine.
    Does anyone know what might be wrong?
    Thanks,

    I'm using the same motherboard and just bought GTX780ti last week. I encountered the same issue when i plugged in my new GTX780 ti. I got the B2 error code.  So i decided to flash and update my  Bios version and IT WORKED !!
    To the people having the same issue as i am.,please update your BIOS to the latest one. Make sure the PCI Gen 3 is enabled in the BIOS for full perfomance.
    For the BIOS update i need the monitor, and with code 62, you dont get any signal.. 

  • Building new Z77A-GD65, i3 3220 and it won't boot.

     
    All new components, Z77A-GD65 with i3 3220 CPU and it will not boot. When I tried to boot, it would run the fans up to about half speed, light all the green diagnostics LEDs, indicate FF in the Multi BIOs display and then it would power-down for a few seconds and then it would try to post again and again, repeating. Then, just to be certain that I was certain I replaced the CPU cooler, disconnected the two wire start switch and started it with the start button.
    I'd like comments on the above diagnostic process, did I shoot myself in the foot along the way? What HAS to be connect to the motherboard for the post to complete?
    What I done so far: Since all are new parts I exchanged several. 
    1. Exchanged power supply.
    2. I took the motherboard to MSI RMA service in Walnut, CA and they checked out and told me it was okay. The next day a MSI tech at Customer Service told me that only the latest BIOs update would support the i3 3220 CPU so I went back to MSI and they confirmed that the i3-3220 CPU was supported.
    I would appreciate some suggestions about what to do.
    Thank You,

    Try building the computer on a non-conductive surface outside of the case. Install one stick of ram in DIMM 2, the cpu, the cooler and hook your monitor to the onboard vga.
