Yeah, i tried that too. But even so the two memory modules are the same. I tried with one stick only and even reset the cmos. Did nothing... Thanks anyway! I'm going to RMA it tomorrow.

I asked them, here's what they told me: 3691julien Sep,26,2007 09:22:27 Ok then, should I include the cpu with the board? I could leave it installed on the board for you. And this is a disontinued model, you still have stock of them? techsupport Sep,26,2007 09:36:43 That would...

I think i'm going to RMA the board, the fx-57 is one hell of a good cpu and I want to use it to its potential. So thanks everyone! For the good thing, I will receive a brand new board! Last thing, sould I keep the cpu installed on the board before shipping it?

Here what I just received from MSI: "Your motherboard is in our 3rd year PARTS only warranty. We need to charge you $ 45 + 6%tax for the labors. Thanks!" 45$ just to enter bios setup... does anyone have other ideas? I dont think I'm gonna pay almost half the price of the board just for Bios...

My FX-57 is stepping E4, i saw it thru CPU-Z, and I have the latest BIOS wich is V1.D0. I haved flashed the BIOS for the first time using the MSI Utility while I still had the fx-53. He ran fine until I change to the fx-57, after that I found the problem and reflashed it thru dos. The problem is...

Its probably a great board, but the problem is I just bought a Evga 7800 gs co Vga card and its AGP. The only 939/AGP board are with nforce 3 ultra chipset and there is very few of them...

But if I dont try to acces the bios, the computer runs fine. I ran some test with everest and its very stable. Its only the fact that the computer startup with defaults setting everytime and I am not able to change them.

Yes, with the FX-53 the BIOS start fine! its only since I upgrade to the FX-57 it dosent work. Sorry about the confusion:o

Anyone have another idea before I ship it RMA? If MSI is saying that it support FX-57 and my mobo is still on warranty, I wish they can fix it. I dont want another mobo because I bought a brand new 7800 Gs agp and socket 939 Agp with nforce 3 ultra mobos are rare.

The weird thing is that if I dont press Delete to access BIOS, it starts perfectly and run flawlessly, except the fact that I cant overclock it nor modify BIOS Setup... The problem is really accessing the bios. I dont know if the warranty has expired. If its expired, it dosent worth 50-60$ plus...

Yes, I flashed the BIOS while I had my FX-53 in my system and ran it for a month with this BIOS so it must have been flashed properly.

I have flashed the BIOS with the MSI utility before putting in the fx-57. After the upgrade, i saw the problem so I flashed it again but it did nothing. I'm pretty sure its not the battery the problem because there is still power in it and to make sure I changed it yesterday.

I have been in contact with the MSI Tech support but they didnt have a clue. Here is the thread: I Can't Access Bios After CPU upgrade. System description Part Number: ms-7025 CPU: AMD FX-57 Memory: 2x1GB PC3200 400MHZ SAMSUNG Operating System: Windows XP Pro SP2 Question Hi, I...
