B75MA-P45 USB 3 windows 8 ISSUE

To MSI:
There is a problem with the usb-3 and windows 8 on B75MA-P45 motherboard.
It will not recognize a external usb-3 HDD, it will show that it is connecting the device but it's not showing in the explorer, it can't be access, then later, Windows 8 will create an error message on the drivers installation.
My external HDD is a TOSHIBA 750GB, the CPU is corei3 (3rd), two memory Patriot 4GB DDR1600, the HDD 1,5TB SEAGATE, and the system is windows 8 professional
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

What is the bios version?
I have attached the most recent full release.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Option1 point at the full archive (do not extract the files) then point the tool at your fat32 formatted usb stick.
Boot to usb and flash.
If you are already at this version, reflash anyway, clear the cmos with the power cord removed and retest.
If the problem persists, I will check for a beta version to try.
Edit:
Make sure this is your board prior to flashing.

  • Creating a bootable USB stick (Windows/syslinux issue)

    Hi everyone,
    Lately I decided to install Arch on my new machine, using USB drive as there's no disc drive (out of fashion, all that stuff yk). After a ton of research at wiki I finally downloaded Arch ISO (so everything above is just a foreplay) and started my efforts to create a USB stick to boot from.
    Firstly, when trying with simple USB Writer, it gave me an error message "An error occurred while opening the target volume.", which I thought back then, was just the tool's issue. Then I moved straight to creating bootable USB manually, by downloading and installing syslinux. Everything went fine and according to wiki's scenario until, once again, third-party program ought to do something with external drive.
    At that stage, I'm getting syslinux' error message "Could not load drive: access is denied". Googling taught me that this, pretty obviously, happens when one's not running prompt as admin - but I am! Now I'm totally at a loss what to do.
    (What it says in the last line after re-encoding is "access is denied" in Russian, and the upper panel - that I'm running prompt as an admin)
    Stick details:
    A new one, was formatted with wiki-recommended Rufus USB partitioner, so that it's now FAT32, 4kb block size ARCH_201408.
    P.S.: Everything is done on another machine as the new one has only old XP on which I have no intention to work with.
    P.P.S.: Answering the registration question took me an hour, mostly 'cause of that the first online prompt didn't work with the command correctly, this thing is not Linux-newbie-friendly at all though I understand it might be meant to be so

    There are four methods listed in the wiki for writing the Arch install iso to a USB device under Windows. You have tried the first one, USBwriter, and ignored the other three.
    I'd suggest you try them all. You should also bear in mind that although the ISO you're using comes from Arch, the OS you're using does not, so any Windows issues that may affect what you're doing would be best addressed in a Windows forum.

    No :/ Are we sure its the Graphics card? The computer restarts about 10 seconds after booting? I also have a keyboard plugged in but it doesn't seem to light up when the computer starts but all the usb are rightly connected.

  • MSI B75MA-P45 "Reboot and Select proper Boot device"

    Hey guys, I just had this PC delivered to me yesterday, pre-built after my specs. Been using their company for a decade and never had an issue (that said, they might very well have screwed up this time, but I would love some feedback).
    So, when I plug in the PC and boot it it get stuck at "Reboot and Select proper Boot device" (and in the bottom right it blink between A2/B4 before it gets to the reboot prompt).
    What I have done to try to fix this:
    1) Go into BIOS and swap around the boot order. No luck with that, and I cannot find the SSD HD on the list either.
    2) Confirmed it was set on AHCI mode.
    3) Booted with the MSI Motherboard CD to get to Winki. In the Winki file manager I do see the SSD HD with Windows installed! But the BIOS cannot find it.
    The specs:
    Board: MSI B75MA-P45
    Bios: E7798IMS V1.5
    VGA: ASUS Geforce GTX660Ti
    PSU:  Corsair CX 500
    Intel Core i7-3770
    Corsair Cooling Hydro H55
    RAM: Corsair XMS3 Vengeance CL9
    Samsung SSD 840 Series 120 GB
    Seagate Barracuda 2TB
    Win 8
    So I'm left a bit dumbstruck here. It seems quite clear the BIOS cannot find the SSD for some reason, but I'm not sure how to sort this?
    I mean: I do see Windows in the Winki file manager, so the HD is clearly there and readable. But on the other hand it cannot find it in the BIOS so I can't choose it as a boot drive.
    Any suggestions on what might cause this and how I could solve it?
    Thank you.

    Wow, that was easier than I thought.. after hours of browsing internet, trying all kinds of BIOS settings, eventually I just opened the case and plugged out the SATA cables and plugged them back in. Boom, it works. Didn't expect it to be that easy since the Winki still could see the HD.
    Seems BIOS is more sensitive than the Winki. But there you go, problem solved.

  • B75MA-P45 BIOS Update

    I wonder if someone could shed some light on this for me. I currently have a B75MA-P45 mainboard, or MS-7798 as live update labels it. Currently it doesnt allow me to get into the bios with my logitech usb keyboard and I have to plug in a ps2 one which kinda irritates me. Having flashed a great many bioses in the past I thought this should be relatively easy. Oh how wrong was I ?
    So first of all I install live update from the website which comes under my board section so should in theory work, but when I download all the drivers and click bios II it informs me that it doesnt support that board. ? similarly when I try and execute msi control centre it tells me it doesnt support this board.
    So I read in the bios something about winki being able to do it, so I download the image, burn it, start it up and then winki tells me it doesnt support this board.
    How is all this possible when I download them from the msi site under my board section? Really, is there not a simple way to do this ?!?!?!
    I haven't tried usb stick yet because I dont have one, but I just can't believe there isn't a windows flasher that will work.

    Quote from: christopher.roffey on 17-September-13, 04:44:23
    Well most of those options mean I have to go and spend money on a usb stick just to upgrade the bios, which I've never had to before. And sure I'll probably get loads of flamers telling me how cheap they are but that's very much besides the point. I've flashed plenty of motherboards from windows before now without incident, you can always verify it before you reboot.
    And besides, this does not explain the why it is that click bios 2, control centre and winki all say they do not support my board, and yet they were downloaded from the boards section on the msi site.
    Any explanation for this ?
    I also flashed lot of boards before without problem but my last try using a windows and this "great" live update utility lead to a bricked board and it was not my fault. I've got BSOD so there was no way to go back. So many things can happen in windows so my recommendation after this xperience is to never flash the bios in windows! The board is now at manufacturer to reflash the chip... A moth lost for me...

  • Problem with B75MA-P45

    Guys:
    I've got a B75MA-P45 LGA 1155 with an intel core I5 3450, but I want to install win7, appears error 0xc00000e9 and then reboot.
    The hard disk is a Western digital WD5000AAKX 500 GB 7200 16 MB Sata 3, new.
    In the BIOS, I changed from SATA to IDHE in advanced options, and then I could install windows.
    The questions is why that happens?

    Yes. But it doesn´t work.
    I Tried to install win7 in the HD, but in my old PC, and It worked.
    When I conected the HD to B75MA-P45, It stop in starting windows, and reboot.
    After that, I changed the BIOS config (IDHE to SATA in advanced options), and windows worked.
    I think that shouldn't happen....

  • NI USB-8473 Windows can not find Driver

    After I install my CAN Software 2.6.1 and connect my USB device, Windows starts the Hardware Wizard but, can not find the Drivers for this device.  I started out with 2.4 and uninstalled and reinstalled it which did not help and then I upgraded to 2.6.1.  This did not seem to help either.  My impression is that this is something to do with Windows or the computer, but I thought I would ask if anyone has seen this problem before in case it is a hardware or software issue.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Thank you for your post.  The NI-CAN driver is an inf file titled nican.inf.  Instead of automatically detected the driver in the Found New Hardware Wizard, try browsing to the nican.inf file.  This file is found in the following directory: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\NI-CAN\staging.
    If this doesn't work, I would run the Microsoft Windows cleanup utility linked below and remove all NI-CAN registries from your system and then reinstall the driver once again.

    The problem is that my new R9 290 doesnt work on the first comp. When pressing the power button the fan of the GPU is maxing and makes alot of noise. Connecting my monitor to the onboard GPU i see the comp is working and is booting into windows. Updating the Bios didnt work and chosing PEG instead of IGP doesnt matter.
    To check if the R9 290 is working i put it in comp2. It boots normally, and no problems. I began to wonder if the PSU of comp1 is the problem.
    So i Changed the PSU of comp2 to comp1 and pushed the power button. Same as before: alot of noise and not working.
    Meanwhile it Boots into windows. Connecting my monitor to the onboard video I can see it boots into windows. But  I dont see the R9 290 at all in the hardware device list.
    My first conclusion: The XFX R9 290 isnt recognized by the B75MA-P45 Motherboard at all, even when i switch the PSU from comp2.
    I need the card to work on comp 1 because that is my computer. (Comp2 I borrowed from a friend for testing).

  • Upgrading graphics card in B75MA-P45 system

    I have a B75MA-P45 based system with basic msi / nvidia graphics card (630) I think.  The system runs Win8x64 nicely.
    I have tried upgrading the graphics card to amd 7850. With the new card, the system never shows the normal bios splash screen.  It can, however, get to Win8 after a bit of patience, if I disable secure boot.
    The bios is 1.3B9.  I note that the latest bios (1.5) is said to have improved PCI-E display card compatibility.
    I am wary of updating the bios because a lot of the uefi-style settings seem to be undocumented in the motherboard manual (notably those relating to secure boot, win8 certification, compatibility modes, key generation, etc).
    What is my best strategy for trying out the new bios without losing all the bios settings, keys, etc, that currently work, with a view to reverting to the existing bios / settings if necessary?

    If you update you will in any case loose all current bios settings, CMOS will be cleared. You can take screenshots in UEFI to set again what was set before. Reflashing to the prior bios would require asking for here as downgrading requires a special file.

    I am having a problem with booting up first thing in the morning. When I power-up my computer will start to and then shut down. If I reset or manually hit the power button after that it will work fine for the rest of the day. The problem occurs only when the computer has been shut down for five hours or more.
