Hi. I recently bought the Gigabyte Geforce GTX 770 4GB GPU. I have a MSI Military Class II P67A-GD65, 16GB RAM, and a RS600-PCARE3-US PSU. My old GPU is a MSI Twin Frozr II. When I use the new GPU I get a B2 error after the beep when starting up my PC (Doesn't make it to the BIOS option). I use the 6x2 +2 PCI connector for the new GPU. Everything works when I plug in the old GPU with the 6x2 PCI. I was wondering if anyone has seen this issue before.
 
Solution
Update the BIOS to version 1.19.

There were two versions of P67A-GD65. One with updated chipset (B3 revision) and older one. Download the BIOS for your exact version:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD65--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
or
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD65.html#/?div=BIOS
If you don't know the chipset revision, use HWinfo to find out:

Use the MFlash method, as described here:
http://www.msi.com/service/biosupdate/

If it doesn't help try the newest - 4.3 - read the red warnings first for versions > 4.0; new windows drivers are needed, update procedure is different.

I encountered this "B2" error with my ASUS gtx 770,I have the same motherboard as you and it turned out for me at least it was the Video Cards BIOS. Put it in my friends computer and it booted fine. Downloaded the Latest BIOS from ASUS and updated the card, put it in my machine and it booted on the first try xDD

Hi even I am stuck in the same situation. How to update BIOS when i can't enter BIOS settings

My mother board is MSI 990fxa-GD65.
Old GPU amd hd6770 (not working)
New GPU gtx 750ti

i have read so many threads about this problem and they got solved but how they are able to flash their BIOS without entering BIOS settings.
