Hi Guys need some help, l have a mobo Msi970a g46 overclock so when l put a memory stick l got 3 long beeps it means A failure has occurred within the first 64 KB or memory.

Memory I'm using:Samsung

Can you test the stick in another PC?
Is your current system overclocked?
Do you already have a stick in there and ADDED this one?

Please give more details please...

Two things:
1. Do you have the latest BIOS on there that would support that CPU? If not, flash it...
http://www.msi.com/support/mb/970A-G46.html#down-bios
2. Perhaps its a bad mobo if that flash does not do it?

That said, that motherboard is really not good for that CPU... http://www.overclock.net/t/946407/amd-motherboards-vrm-info-database

In that link it specifically says to avoid 8 core CPUs and overclocking...

Use the EDIT button instead of triple posting.

Hi
Sorry to be a pain,the problem is the mobo does not boot how can l flash the latest bios .
Seeing the specifications l wrote it before can you recommend me a new mobo it could be compatible to just in case l can't sort it out .
Thanks for trying to help me .;

I thought you had a working stick(s) and upgraded...my fault!

The problem may be in the board not recognizing the CPU and not the ram sticks themselves (since they work in a different PC). As I said, that board really is not capable of running an 8350 in the first place (125W limit on that board). So perhaps its time to get another motherboard that can handle it instead...

Do you reckon another processor it will fix the problem!

EarthDog · Mar 6, 2015

If that issue, it could, yep.

I would get a different board though and keep that processor personally.
