B85M-E45 VGA problem

I have just purchased the following system:
Cooler Master Elite 311 Black/Silver
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 450W PSU
Intel® LGA1150 Core i5-4440
MSI B85M-E45, Socket-1150
Corsair XMS3 1600MHz 8GB Vengeance CL9
Sapphire Radeon HD7790 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E
Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB 2.5" 7mm OEM
Lite-On DVD±RW Writer, SATA, Retail
After setting the system togheter I am not able to transfer any video out to my monitor. All cables are correctly attached according to the manual, all the fans are working etc, but no video. The monitor is working perfectly on other systems so I supect there might be somthing wrong with my motherboard or my video card.
Does anyone know what can be wrong?

Have you flashed the mainboard bios to the most recent version?

I would say "RMA the motherboard" but 2 MSI B85 boards having problems with HD7790 cards...strange.
Lots of things can cause this issue especially with AMD cards and if you have an under sized psu as well, there is nothing strange about this.

Downloading drivers and such for B85M-E45 online

Hello. When replying, please bear in mind that I have no idea of what I am doing whatsoever.
I am currently setting up my new pc with a B85M-E45 type motherboard. My pc does not have a optical drive since I did not think it would be necessary, and I can see that the stuff I need can be downloaded online, so that is just great. Problem is, I have no idea of which files to download and where to find those. I got two DVDs with the pc, one called Drivers & Utilities, another one called Afterburner I think.
My pc runs a 64 bit Windows 8.1.
Would someone be so kind as to show me exactly what to download from MSI's website?

Hello,
You can find all the drivers and utilities >>HERE<<. Just pick your OS and download.
From the "Drivers" section you surely need:
Intel VGA Driver (Only IF you don't have dedicated graphics card like AMD or NVidia)
Intel Chipset Driver
Intel Management Engine Driver+Microsoft hotfix
Realtek PCI-E Ethernet Drivers
Realtek High Definition Audio Driver
And from "Utility" section:
Command Center (worth to have it to monitor and control fan speeds, CPU temps etc)
Network Genie
Fast Boot (if you plan to use FastBoot feature from BIOS)
Anything else you can install but might find useless. Nothing from Utility section is required, but you may find those I have listed to be useful.

Hi
I have a MB, B85M-E45 with an i5-4670K which i cant OC. In bios setup i cant evan set it from deafault. Feels like it wont recognize that the CPU is a "K" version. When trying to use OC Genie the computer won't start right. The solution then is to reset the bios and then it works but not OC.
Is it a Bios issue or what?

Does MSI B85M-E45 support 4K UHD Support? - which is correct???

I want to know if the MSI B85M-E45 motherboard supports 4K UHD ? (3840 x 2160 resolution).
When I read the overview of the MSI B85M-E45 motherboard it says it does supports it (it is mentioned in two different places)
However, when I see the 'detailed specification' it says the following :
1 x HDMI port, supporting the maximum resolution of 4096x2160@24Hz, 24bpp 2560x1600@60Hz, 24bpp 1920x1080@60Hz, 36bpp
So why don't they mention 3840 x 2160????
Can someone at MSI clarify the situation??? Why don't they mention it?? Which is correct on of them must be wrong?
I need 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz on the HDMI port. This is to support a UHD monitor.
This site, wont' let me post links to MSI own web site!

maximum
resolution of 4096x2160@24Hz
So anything less than that should be covered... It wasn't a list, just maximums.

Mini DVI to VGA problem

Hello,
I just recently bought the mini DVI to VGA adaptor for my new MacBook because I wanted to use my laptop as a dvd player and plug it into the TV in my room. The TV is a Samsung LCD ln S1951W, when I plug it in the computer detects the display but the TV still flashes the no signal thingie. I've tried it with a proyector and it works fine. It's not the vga-vga cable because it works fine when i connect my iBook. Could anyone help me fix this problem please?

If you are just using it for that specific screen (just for the moment use a workaround). I have the same screen.
Download SwitchResX and make the following setup under "Custom" 1360x 768 at 60Hz. Restart for the settings to be available. It should solve the flashing problem for this specific screen.
If you don´t want to pay for SwitchResX, just check that the new resolution settings are available in the normal mac display options (which they should) and unistall it... the settings will be stored and you can use them indefinitely.
Wait, just re-read your post, you are not getting any signal at all? Then I have no clue if this will solve it. Try it anyways.
Cheers.

Mac Mini mid 2011 Mini Dvi to VGA problems

I have a mac mini mid 2011 and I have to connected to a display in work. The display only has a VGA entrance, so i bought a mini dvi to vga adapter from my local mac store, but when i connected to the display everything looks odd, the whole display has an odd purple look, I have tried to use a different VGA cable but keep having the same problem, I even tried a different display with the same results, anybody knows why this happens and how to fix it?

Your welcome!
On your end before returning the Adapter,
try > Resetting the System Management Controller
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
3. Wait fifteen seconds.
4. Attach the computer's power cord.
5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
and > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.
then if that doesn't help, return the adapter and explain the problem to the Apple tech person at the store.

Mini DVI to external monitor (VGA) problem/firmware update does nothing

Hi,
Four months ago I bought a new white 13-inch Macbook (2006 model I believe) along with a handy mini-DVI - VGA adapter. I used a Hanns-G HU196D external monitor which worked fine for a couple of months but then stopped, and had the same problem with a (much cheaper) 'LiteView' monitor. I find it bizarre how they work absolutely fine and then stop, with no damage to the adapter, cable or ports. I've since bought a new adapter and cables + trying out a different monitor and still the same problem...
I've installed a firmware update that describes the exact symptoms, but it's done nothing. Can anyone help me resolve my issue?? It's still under warranty so is it an unusual problem that'll need to be fixed by Apple?
Thanks

Are you using the mini DVI to DVI followed by a DVI to VGA adapter? That may not work if the mini DVI to DVI adapter does not pass analog video. If that is the case, you need the mini DVI to VGA adapter:

Mini Displayport to VGA problem - not recognizing

Hi all,
First, thanks for your patience as I am new to these forums and thanks for reading and hopefully helping.
We purchased an apple branded mini DP to VGA adapter about a week ago from an auth. reseller in Prague (US expats). We are using the adapter to watch video from our MacBook Pro on an Epson projector. Everything worked great for about a week and all of a sudden (truly, no software changes, updates, dropped adapters, etc. etc. etc.) it stopped working. By "it" I think I mean the mini DP adapter or the plug itself. The reason I think this is b/c the computer doesn't even recognize when the adapter is plugged in; previously, when plugging ONLY the adapter into the mini DP plug, the screen would flash blue, now - nothing.
I have reset PRAM and the SMC and still no change. I checked when I first purchased the adapter and found that the firmware was indeed up to date.
Any ideas? Hoping for insight before having to deal with the extraordinary language barrier.
Thanks again.

Mini DisplayPort to VGA problem

Hi, all!
My New MacBook can't work with external display with resolution more then 1360x768 using Mini DisplayPort to VGA connector.
Then I'm setting bigger resolution (for ex. 1920x1080) display shows me picture for a 2-3 seconds, then switches off, and on again.
Tested 3 monitors and one tv.
Any suggestions?

Thunderbolt to VGA problems.

Folks, I just setup two Mac Pro computers (late 2013 cylindrical model) and am having problems on both with Thunderbolt to VGA adapters. I get a line at the top of the screen that flickers at a constant rhythm of sorts and the desktop doesn't fill the screen. In fact the dock is pushed a little down beyond the edge of the screen.
I have two 24" monitors plugged into both computers. There's no problem with anything plugged in via DVI or HDMI, but it does affect these two brand new out of the box Samsung and HP monitors connected via Thunderbolt to VGA adapters.
I found this link and firmware to try and remedy the problem, but when run it just said it couldn't find a supported MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter.
Any ideas folks?

I suspect that the firmware is only applicable to one specific brand of adopter.
I have used Apple mini displayport to VGA adopter on my 2013 Mac Pro without problems for 1080p like your HP monitor.
I suspect a problem with the adopter. However, try resetting the SMC and PRAM
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
About NVRAM and PRAM
otherwise try another brand adopter. I would try min displayport to either HDMI or DVI if you can get them and get the right cable
