MSI Z68 GD65 (G3) - Graphics card issue?

5neak · 27 Jan 2014 at 10:26

Hi guys,

Anyone experienced any problems with new graphics cards with this particular Motherboard?

My friend and I both have this motherboard. We are running different BIOS versions but we cant for the life of us get his brand new HIS 270x to POST. All we get is spinning fans

Card has been tested by Overclockers UK and reported back with no errors

The following cards work fine in both machines:

Radeon 6850
XFX 7970

Both running PSU with enough juice

Thanks for your help,
Chris

Have you tried the latest beta BIOS dated 13th November 2013? It's newer than official 25.8

See below. If you register with the MSI Forums, it will give you access to the beta bios section >> http://forum-en.msi.com/

Beta Bios: E7681IMS.P93 said:
VGA BIOS : 2137

ME Version : 8.1.2.1318

RAID ROM : RST_11.5.0.1207

LAN OptionRom : 2.41

Device OptionRom : N/A

Add solution to fix System hang up ¡°A2¡± with some hard disk.

Fix Item "DRAM Frequency" will be always reset to Auto when bios reset. (only occured when using sandybridge cpu)

Remove M-Flash update BIOS and ME function from Recovery.

Fix it will hang when insert some intel lan.
