Maximum PC

I have a new msi gd-80 mobo, I am having a hard time trying to figure out what is going on. On the led debug, I get this order of messages:

FF (for a split second)
19
FF (flashes)
31 (had to slow the footage to see it)
39 (amazing I spotted it)
3b
36 (and it sits there)

No beeps or anything. Does anyone know what these codes mean?

I don't have the answer, but have a clue. Try to use one stick of memory at a time. Will it POST and BOOT with either of them in any arrangement of slots?

ok, I just tested the memory idea, I got the same result. The debug was different, one ended with 36 and sitting with no beeps and another at 4F. The 4F stick, I reset the mobo and drained the power, it went to the same debug message I was getting with the other stick.

The connections are fine, everything is seated, I did a final check on the cpu pins (AMD Phemon 955), the boaard is not bending, and the graphics is hooked up. The only thing I can think of is the old bios from the previous mobo is still around, if I look at formating the prime drive, will that help or is there something else?

hey, what is dxe ipl? that is what 4F means
I found this site that might help

the last good boot was a while ago, weeks. I was moving my computer to another case (try looking up wordpress metalglasses to see what I am doing) the computer once in place wouldn't boot up suddenly and I could never figure it out. I bought the upgrade GD80 MSI 990FX. I am still having a simulair problem.

It could be a bios thing. I booted my main drive (SSD) into another computer and it did turn on but it was incrediably slow and I couldn't do much. I get either a 4F code (I just saw this, that link is for sandy bridge, my mistake). It has a AMD3 chip phemon II 955. Sometimes a 36 code (either clearing cmos or moving ram around).

The thing that is not helping is I cannot get into bios at all. No beeps nada.

This may be a stupid question but I have to ask. Did you also transfer the standoffs when you transferred the motherboard? Or is it just installed without them?
If you did transfer them, are there any that might be out of place under the motherboard?

Yes I did transfer the standoffs (that came with a previous build a few years ago) I made sure they lined up before screwing them in. The motherboard tray is straight.

Also I just reseated the cpu, I got stuck at 36 debugger again.

I gave msi a call, wanted to know what 36 and 4F means

After spending like 40 minutes with IT,
36: CPU issue
4F: Ram issue

When I do get stuck on 36, the boot drive/only drive hooked up says 36 while hhd it says 4F. I am at a lost here.

Do you have a different AMD3+ CPU you can try on the motherboard?

Maybe your phenom II 955 is the problem?

I am really begining to think the mobo is dead. I also went to hook up another win7 hd into the machine, i got the same result. I put in the ssd for my machine to another machine and it worked, but limited because of drivers installed on the ssd.

However, I had a simulair problem with the gd-70, except it would shut down within a 2 min period. The difference is it got video, I could get into the bios.

You people think I shoud try rma'ing it or find some local dude to help.

After figuring out the motherboard had bad caps in another thread, you might inspect your motherboard for bad caps too. If your power supply is older or generic, it may be suffering from bad caps. Unstable voltages from the power supply could confuse things on your motherboard to where things are getting whacky.

If you have overclocked the system, it would be a good idea to set the BIOS to system defaults and see if things behave any better.

It's always good to strip the system down to the basics, CPU, one stick of RAM and a video card. Then add devices until the problem re-appears. You might even want to take the motherboard out of the case and try to fire things up that way. I know you checked the mounting points, but trying the system outside of the case will rule out any sort of grounding issue that may be happening that would be difficult to spot with the board in the case.

I requested rma on the motherboard. It is the mobo, I get different codes, either bad ram or cpu. We'll see what happens
