970 Gaming, Help! New build, fine then nothing?

Hi guys,
Would appreciate any suggestions here,
Put together my new build 2 days ago,
It consists of :-
MSI 970 Gaming Mobo
AMD FX 6300 3.5Ghz 6 Core
2 x 8Gb Hyper-X Fury DDR3 1866mhz
1 x Nvidia GTX 750
1 x 120gb SanDisk SSD
All went together beautifully, no issues.
Powered it up and installed Win7, installed supplied mobo drivers and let Windows do it's thing, collecting updates.
Next day I came home, powered up and enjoyed 6 hours flawless performance, powered down to find Windows had a further 221 updates to install, left it to it.
Come home today, power up, starts to configure Windows updates, I walk away, return 10 minutes later to a blank screen, power LED flashing so I think it must be hibernating, attempt to wake, no response from controls, USB mouse still lit, strange.
Reset button is unresponsive, as is holding the power button down, have to turn off at PSU.
It will now power up at the button, but will not allow me to reset or force power down from front panel, I get no display at all from power up, monitors display no signal.
So far I've :-
Reseated the GPU, Ram, Eventually the CPU aswell.
Checked all power connections,
Reset the CMOS,
left PSU unplugged and CMOS battery out,
threatened it with a hammer.
Visually all components are fine. No beeps for errors due to no speaker.
Any help/suggestions would be MUCH appreciated,
Thanks!

Cheers for the replies guys,
Running with a 600w fractal design PSU,
3.3v 24a, 5v 20a, 12v1 30a, 12v2 22a, -12v 0.3a, 5vsb 3a.
I have also : -
Jumped the JFP1 power pins but knew it was beyond this anyway,
Tried booting without the GFX card and various configurations of the ram, 1 stick, various slots, no sticks etc.
Still getting no response from jumping the power on the MB now, but jumping the 20pin PSU signal cable brings the PSU to life and drives fans and lights.
About to remove mobo from case and try the non conductive test but don't have much hope.
Am I looking as a faulty mobo? Or could CPU be a culprit?
Thanks guys

i recently got new mac air and transferred my old version garageband projects now when I open them in 10.0.2 I can add new tracks but then nothing can record, shows its receiving sound from software inst. but no sound. I checked audio preferences and they are set as they should be. I tried it in all the other older projects and same issue anyone have any experience like this very frustrating. Can one download old version still ? or can you run both versions on OS10.9.5 ?

Ok, either my question was too long or nobody seems to have an answer. Sad, either way
Here's something I found out in the meantime, maybe this is interesting for somebody or maybe - problem's not totally solved - enough info for any of you to give me further advice.
When I start Logic Core Audio driver de-activated, I can open old songs. Then I save them in a new folder with all audio files and a new name. And I remove all EXS24 instruments as well as the Space Designer. I quit Logic, re-open with Core Audio activated and I can open the song.
Problem no.1: EXS24 instruments don't find the appropriate samples, but EXSMananger Pro did help me with this. Same problem with Space Designer, which doesn't find the impulse responses, connected to a certain preset.
Two questions, every idea would be great!
- Is there any way to teach Space Designer Presets where to look for impulse respones. I can load IR samples directly and create a new preset, but I can't use my old ones.
- Is it possible to install Logic from scratch over an existing version? Or how should I de-install everything connected with Logic and then install a fresh version from CD?
Thank you again,

I am no longer able to get video playback on my pad. Was working fine, then nothing. What do I do?

I am no longer able to get video play on my pad. It was working fine, then when I went to use it again later, nothing. Any suggestions as to what to do?

Quit the Videos app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If that doesn't work - try this. Swipe to the right from your first home screen to get to the iPad Spotlight search. Type in the name of any of your movies in the field at the top. When the movie appears in the search - tap on it and it should start to play. Let it play for a minute or so - hit done - go back to videos app and see if all is OK.

[REQUEST] Msi gtx 970 gaming 4g new bios

I bought a z77 motherboard and gtx 970 won't work in the pci-e 16x slot, but it works fine in pci-e 4x slot. Pci-e 16x slot works with another gpu. Motherboard bios is already latest, so the last thing I can try is to update the gpu bios.
Thanks.

Unfortunately not. And their support hasn't been much help. All they said is to try and update both bios and vbios, which did nothing. Wouldn't it be a hardware failure if all cards didnt work in the slot? I'm guessing it's a compatibility issue because both gpus are detected, the only difference is that for pci-e speed when gtx 570 is connected it says "x16", and with gtx 970 it's "x0" (seen using iGPU which isn't disabled with gtx 970). It does say "not present" if any of those cards is in the second slot, so there's that. Also, they said that they haven't got any reports of the similar problems with their brand's gtx 970.

Z97 Gaming 7 New build

Hi All
Old user (mechwookie) here, seeking maybe a little guidance.
I'm finally getting a enw build from my trusty P35 Neo3 FR and Q6600 combo.
It will consist of:
Z97 Gaming 7 mobo
i5 4690 (not sure if going for the K version yet)
16gb DDr3 (probably will stick with stock speed 1600mhz Ram) Geil Black Dragon Ram
MSI GTX 960 2gb OC VGA card
I'll be retaining my current drives and PSU (which is less than 1yr old)
Novatech Powerstation V2 600w Modular
Samsung 840 Evo 120gb
WD 1tb 7200 (main storage/backup)
Samsung Spinpoint 200gb 7200 (photo's and music)
Samsung Spinpoint F2 500gb 7200 (video)
Cooling the CPU will be a Corsair H60 unit, all enclosed in my current case, a Bitfenix Comrade case.
Now I currently have 3 120mm fans providing airflow (2 filtered to the front intake, 1 exhaust)to my Arctic Cooling Freezer 13 Pro on the Q6600.
The fans are currently a mish mash of types. The 120 original exhaust that came with the Comrade, an old Akasa 120 (at least 4 yrs old) and a Cougar CF-V12HP PWM fan.
Now when I do build this, because of where its going and what i can physically do for airflow, I will set up a push pull on the H60, having it as an exhaust fan while having two new fans in the front as intake again.
so, question is::::
Am I likely to get any issues running two Cougar CF-V12HP's off a splitter from a single fan header from the Gaming 7 as i'd like to control them from the bios?
Also, is it worth getting the 2 intake fans as PWM for quietness at low rpm, or just have two non PWM's which will mean they end up likely at full speed unless i set then at a lower level in the bios...?

Well, PWM fans ordered.
now i need to finalise the rest.
Now looking at changing the Ram and cpu to
16 gb dual channel Kingston HyperX Savage 2400Mhz
i5 4690K
It will give me some room to play with the OC if i should then wish.
It also bumps me from under £570 ish to £610
As for the brand, I couldn't really tell you the exact brand they use, Novatech is the supplier who have a PSU branded for them to retail.
Have seen a post that mentions they might be what used to be the OCZ Modstream psu's, but cannot confirm this.
And this is it:

Am I the only one who has no print apps? I have had many issues with them working fine then nothing

I have updated re instaslled been on the phone with an agent for three hours exhausted everthing in there book, returned the printer gotten a new one still nothing the i began complaining on here and within 2 days it worked...so now that the apps are down again i figured i would ask HP are you updating again and not filling anyone in on it or do i need to make another pointless phone call

Windows 98 is an ok operating system if you like to be out of date. Just upgrade to XP, that should solve your problem.

Msi gtx 970 gaming 4gb lose display and then computer reboots when EXITING games

When the graphics card is no longer under stress the display will lose signal and usually the computer reboots seconds later. During use, the card performs perfectly. I have a second computer so I have already tried the card with a different motherboard and power supply, with the same problem. There isn't an error message but checking the event log it states a sudden and unexpected loss of power had occurred. My power supplies are both new and gold rated. My drivers are current and the bios is the latest released (the one with the patch for the fans). I'm at a loss to explain the problem and will RMA as a last resort. Any ideas guys? Thanks

Use Afterburner and check "Force Constant Voltage" in their Settings. I think what causes these are the power saving sort of designs for both the mobo and vga, tbh, which makes the voltage more unstable. I think check this would help the problem a bit. Maybe you guys can try.
I figured that it was an issue with hardware stepping down to save power and I've forced voltage to remain constant but the crash still happens unfortunately.

970 Gaming bio update

Just received my 970 Gaming motherboard yesterday to start my build tomorrow. Will need a bio update for an AMD 8370. Do I need to install windows before I update, or, can/should I flash it before the install?
Thanks..

Quote from: daminera on 09-May-15, 06:08:18
I must have gotten lucky as the latest bios was already on it.
Install went well and booted right up.
I just got my own 970 Gaming a few days ago and was also pleasantly surprised to see it was at 2.22 UEFI... That seems to indicate the board is selling well--my revered G46-AM3+ has been passed to a relative (the wife--she's thrilled with my hand-me-downs--I'm lucky like that), but when I got that board it had shipped with the 1.1 UEFI version, and went through several more successful updates to finalize at UEFI version 2.6--and so I built a little decently-priced value box for myself with the 970 Gaming. (New Egg had a sale with it 15% off it's $99 regular price--had to pounce...!)
However, I also noticed that MSI is coming out with a newer version of the 970A Gaming, called the 990GFXA Gaming--it's supposed to include the 990FX chipset (instead of the 970FX as is in the 970 Gaming and the G46 and in the Krait.) The only difference beyond that that I can see is the on-board USB 3.0/3.1 ports (which the Krait has, too.) But, I figured if I wanted it I can always buy a cheap PCIe/PCI expansion card for it later and wind up with 6-8 3.1 ports for a piddling sum--MSI is using Type A ports for 3.1 as opposed to Type C, ports--and I much prefer A to C. Besides, NewEgg had no 990FXA Gaming boards in stock or I'd have probably gone ahead and bought it anyway, probably...
OK, so about that "difference" between the 970 & the 990 chipsets (northbridge.)...I keep reading that the chipsets roughly breakdown in differences as follows:
970 A single PCIe slot @ 16 lanes
990X Two PCIe slots @ 16 & 8 lanes respectively (8 x8 when used in tandem with xFire/SLI.)
990FX Two x16 PCIe slots that break down to x16 & 8x when used for xFire/SLI.)
990GX A 990X that includes an on-board IGP
(Any further enlightenment is always appreciated)... But by these definitions, then, the 970a s950 boards sold in the 970G, the G46, and the Krait, are not really "970" chipsets, but actually they are 990X chipsets, eh?...
Anyway...I decided this time on an FX-8320E, which I am sure will last me until something really nice for the upcoming x86 Zen architecture materializes--where AMD once again has a chance to shine brightly in the cpu performance markets.
OK, I've been very pleased with the board so far--it's what I wanted, actually, not too dissimilar from the 970a-G46. The boards are a lot a like, but that's A-OK with me because the G46 was a terrific product for the last two + plus years, and as my wife's it is sure to do well for a couple more years at least.
Now it's Q&A, time: The caveats are: I'm running Windows 10 build 10074 at the moment and Command Center simply doesn't run. It tries and sputters but just never opens a window--no compatibility modes I've tried make the slightest difference. Additionally, I can't get Sound Blaster Cinema 2 to work, either. It runs, deposits an icon in the systray, but after that does nothing--cannot open a screen or use the software in any way--which is a shame because it looks nice, and the piggy backing of the Creative Labs stuff on top of the Realtek stuff is intriguing...! It's probably just a temporary expense of running the 10 x64 at the moment, but I thought I'd ask just in case anyone else had experienced something similar and found a work-around.

PC turns on but no signal on monitor? 970 Gaming Motherboard

So i just upgraded my pc
Corsair Force LX Series 128GB SSD (new)
XFX R9 280x
Seagate 1TB HDD (new)
MSI 970 Gaming MOBO (new)
16GB Ram
Windows 8.1 OS (new)
Rosewill ARC M550 550W PSU (new)
So basically when i turn on my pc, all fans are on and the mobo lights up. But the monitor just stays black! So what i do is just hold the power button to turn it off and try to turn it on again. Now this is the weird part... sometimes it turns on and sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes i need to turn off/on for 3 or 4 times for it to turn on. Sometimes i need to do it just once. Its so inconsistence and strange.
Example:
One day i was just playing a game and suddenly my monitor turns off. The thing is the fans and all is still working. I thought it was the GPU but the fans on the gpu is still on!
My hunch is on the SSD, which holds the OS. But im not sure, could it be the motherboard? My GPU maybe?

So before all this happen, i have a similar setup with different brand of motherboard and PSU. All i bought is a new brand of psu and mobo and i add an SSD. the thing is, i use to have an antec 550w before and my pc just ran fine, no crashes what so over and no problem on boot. But i dont have an ssd back then.
my ram is set to clock speed 1333
i dont think my pc crash, if it did shouldnt my whole pc turns off including all the fans and all? When i was playing the game, my monitor turns black saying no signal but my pc fans, including GPU's fan is running. I have this problem too on boot. When i try to turn on my pc, the pc it self is running (including GPU's fan) but monitor doesnt recieve signals. I have to turn on/off 3-4 times for it to turn on properly. Sometimes it turns on the first time, and sometimes not, its so insistence and strange
If it is my psu, what wattage should it be? Any suggestion that wouldn't break the bank?
I dont think my PC overheats. I have an aftermarket air cooler on my cpu and i have 4 120mm corsair fans running on my carbide air 540. and if it did crash, shouldnt my whole pc turns off? only the display is not getting signals, all my pc components's fan/light is on.

FF 14.0.1: Bookmark with java-script function to build and open URL. Works unless clicked when already in a new blank tab, then does nothing. Why?

On 14.0.1 I have a bookmark which calls a java script function to prompt for input, build and call a dynamic URL. This has worked fine until last update of FF. It works fine if I right click and select Open in a New Tab, or new window. It works fine if I am in any other website and click it. It only does not work, if I open a new blank tab or window, and then click it from inside that new tab. Then it does nothing. Same happens whether the "New tab Page" is displayed or not. Same happens in safe mode.
Bookmark properties:
javascript:void(str=prompt(%22Document%20Number:%22,%22%22));if(str){location.href=%22https://somecompany.com/oip/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=%22+escape(str).split(%22%20%22).join(%22+%22);}

I searched for a recent thread on this but couldn't find it.
This may be the result of a security restriction on some "about" pages such as about:home and about:newtab.
Did you blank the new tab page using the little button or did you actually change the new tab page to about:blank? In case you need steps for testing:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter the desired value:
''(i) Page thumbnails (default)''
browser.newtab.url = about:newtab
''(ii) Blank tab''
browser.newtab.url = about:blank
''(iii) Built-in Firefox home page''
browser.newtab.url = about:home
''(iv) Any other page''
browser.newtab.url = full URL to the page

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing. Help.

Upgraded new iPad to iOS 5 after successfully using the machine for two weeks. The apps I downloaded are still here, checked for updates, all okay. However, when I try to use iBooks app or even USA Today, icon shakes, settles down then nothing else happens. Several tries, settings appear correct. Suggestions? Safari operates correctly, music icon matches (not from iTunes, simply music on my MacPro and iPod). Is Cloud the issue, perhaps? But everything worked before the upgrade. Using my home network. Hope this info suffices. Appreciate any guidance.

Problem solved. Saw the solution in a more recent post. Downloaded a free app, then all my other apps started to work again.

thank you

Hi misscheryl1987,
Did you get my email on the 14th?
When I spoke with the engineers' department originally, they confirmed that work would start on the 28/09 but may take up to Monday 01/10 for the line to activate, depending on the amount of work required.
At the moment I am unable to get more updates but I will chase up on Monday when the department I need to speak to is open again.

970 Gaming - BIOS resolution too big for screen so can't use it, help!

My specs, Windows 7 SP1
MSI 970 Gaming MB
AMD FX-6350
ASUS Radeon HD6950
G Skill DDR3 RAM (16gb at 1600mhz)
1TB Sata HD
Everything else display related works fine, windows, games, videos, etc. and as this is a new build, yes all the drivers are upto date. However, I can't use the BIOS as it displays as if its four times the screens size!
I've taken a pic to illustrate the point and attached it,
And here is of course, what it should look like for comparison,
As you can see, not only is the res' totally wrong, but some graphical elements are not displaying properly, like the lack of the red border, button surrounds on the left, boot devices missing, etc. Any ideas please?

Not every TV acts the same unfortunately.
My one samsung LCD TV looked better using a VGA cable than HDMI (no idea why, it just did), meanwhile the next Samsung LED TV I got looked much better with HDMI but had strange issues whenever I went into the BIOS (this was from a laptop though).
Expecting a company to solve a problem with a TV that doesn't properly implement the HDMI spec is a bit ridiculous to be honest.

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!

thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*
