Black screen at boot MSI Z77A-G43 with HD7850

Hi,
I've tried everything You suggested in this topic. I've upgrade and downgrade bios (official 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2,9 / beta 256, 281,296) few times but still is black screen at boot. Now i'm on the newest beta bios 296 and still same issue on Sapphire HD 7850 with my Z77a-G43 board. I know for sure that sapphire working well because I've checked on other mobo with even worst PSU (400W instead 550W Volcano). Before hd 7850 I had gtx460 and swith those few times and always gtx460 works fine, so I don't understand anything right now.
Tried different slots, also clear cmos.

Can You help me somehow, maybe I did not check something else?

Do you see the same problem on bios 2.90?
The Z77A-G43 seems the have difficulties accepting HD7xxx AMD VGA cards lately.
It seems that the problem is gone. I thought of it being an ATI driver issue ~ but not even the latest didn't fix it. But since I flashed to BIOS 2.9 I haven't encountered the problem anymore. So I believe something is fixed between 2.3 to 2.9.
However my problem was a bit different that the OP has.
Oh, and I said this on other thread so I say it here too: MSI and Asus 7xxx cards haven't faced the kind of issues Sapphires are having. I'm so glad to my choice... as I almost picked Sapphire but then read comments on Newegg which weren't in favor for Sapphire.

  • Three beeps when booting new computer with MSI Z77A-G43 Mobo

    I just built this pc and pressed the power button. Nothing happens for a few seconds and then I hear 3 beeps from the PC speaker. It powers off by itself and opens again, with 3 beeps again, and repeats this until i press the power button to close it down forcefully.

    3 beeps is a memory failure!
    try each stick in slot 2 individually as you may possibly have a bad stick?
    if the first suggestion doesn't work remove the CPU and check the socket as you may have a bent pin in there causing the issue?

  • Can i crossfire two radeon 7950's with msi Z77A-G43

    Im looking to buy MSI's version of the Radeon 7950 twin Frozr to complete my system but im not sure if i will eventually be able to crossfire two of these cards in the future. I know that this MB only has one PCIe3 slots. Does this matter in crossfire? or will I have to replace the MB in order to corssfire?
    MSI Z77A-G43
    8gb Corsair Vengence
    600 Watt Corsair PSU
    Intel Core i5 3770k Oc's at 4.2 ghz
    500 gb Western Digital HDD
    Cooler Master hyper EVO 212

    that should work but at PCI-E REV 2.0 speeds just make sure you have gen 3 support turned off or it will not allow crossfire!

  • MSI Z77A-G43-memory problem

    Hello
    I bought lately new cpu,mb and memory. When i turned it on it was still rebooting after few seconds after start. So i treid to put just one memory in slot. It worked but only if memory is in bank 3 or 4. In 1,2 computer is still rebooting. Also it works with two memory modules, but putted in 3,4 slots only. And just in single channel. I saw that many people have the same problem and shop service wrote them that it works like that. First You put memory in slots 3,4 and then in 1,2. It is strange for me. I don't have two another memory modules to check if this is true and I want to that it works in dual channel, not single. So, is this true or mb is broken?

    Hello. I have the same problem, except, I use 4 Dimms in 4 slots on my MSI board. I installed speaker on MB to see if there are any beep sounds during the booting, but all seems ok. The problem is the PC keeps still rebooting after about 5 sec. from the start. There aren´t any visual information on screen, since the start is so short. I tried to install dimms in 2nd and 4th slot first. Then to 1st and 3rd. In both cases the problem was still the same. When I put all rams in all 4 slots, the result is the same (restart for ethernity). The only way that goes is the PC runs with only 1 dimm in either 1st or 2nd slot. I tested all the memory modules and all of them work fine. I even tried this on a differennt mainboard from ASUS P8Z77-V LX. Now I tested it on MSI Z77A-G43. Both mainboards are new. There is a very slim change that both of them would be defective. Before I got MSI MB, I ran couple of days on the ASUS MB and everything was perfect, so I don´t think that CPU is defective. I even ran a few benchmarks on it. But I still don´t understand why can´t I run the system with all 16 GB of RAM instead of 4 GB in one slot. Please help me.   

  • 970 GAMING black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime

    I have 970 GAMING w/ FX8320, it shows black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime to enter default.
    I have updated it to the up to date M11 bios. Once it boot up, it functions OK no matter whether you reboot or reset it. But after turned off a few hours (cooled down), it shows on black screen again on boot, all LED lights up OK, but I can hear the fan like keep rebooting, any idea?
    PSU seasonic 430W, GPU HD7750.

    In what DIMM slots did you insert your memory?  I just got and at this moment building a new computer with a 970. 
    A horrible experience I had with my last build reminded me of it.  My board was am MSI A88XM-E45.  DIMM1 is blue, DIMM2 is black, DIMM3 is blue, & DIMM4 is black.  When using two sticks of RAM, it says to install one on DIMM1 & the other in DIMM3 (Makes sense... After all, it's color colored that way).
    Well it would not boot.  I reseated every component and for HOURS tried almost everything.  Finally I decided to place my two sticks of RAM in the first two DIMMS and viola!
    I think I will begin this build the same way.

  • Quad Channel RAM Black screen on boot

    So i can run my computer with Duo channel RAM DIMM slot 1 & 3, but if i add DIMM slot 5 & 7 my computer screen just stays black forever. the computer starts up and stays powered on, but no signal to screen. i have tried all 4 ram pieces alone in DIMM slot 1 and the computer boots just fine and it says 4gb ram in both BIOS and my computer properties.

    some people are having problems with that board! (no idea what is going on with it)
    just for the sake of problem checking can you take out your CPU and look at the pins in the cpu socket with a bright light and a magnifier (check multiple angles) to see if any of the pins are bent?
    a few of the pins are indeed a little bent out of position, would it be best to return the board or should i be able to bend them back into the correct position?

  • MSI Z77A-G43 GAMING LGA 1155 MOTHERBOARD

    Does anyone know where I can get one of these in the UK, everywhere I look it says out of stock/discontinued..... I mean everywhere
    I have no choice to get a z77 version of the motherboard as im running an i5 3350p ivy bridge which is a 1155 socket.

    As a side note the blue and black doesnt look as impressive XD

  • Black screen on boot /w four red LEDs on D-Bracket

    Whenever I go switch the power off on my PSU and turn it back on, and after pressing the power button on the front of the computer it doesn't post it acts as if I kept pressing the reset button.
    The D-braket shows 4 red leds (which means damaged/not installed processor).
    But if I hold the power button to turn if off, then I turn it back on it works flawlessly!
    Am I doing something wrong? I didn't have this problem before.
    Specs are below....
    BioHaz

    I did a Google search and found this below...
    This happens to be my exact same problem, it happens when you turn on the PSU switch then turn on the computer immediately after that. It seems like you just have to wait.
    Is this a common problem?
    Should I worry about this?
    Quote
    The old black screen on boot up with four red LEDs on the D-Bracket
    is a fairly common problem.
    So far I've only seen four fixes for the problem.
    1.  Defective motherboard (Although this is seldom the problem)
    2.  Power supply is defective, or you forgot to connect the four
    wire auxiliary power connecter to the motherboard.  The auxiliary power
    connecter must be connected for this motherboard to work.
    3.  Your reset switch is stuck.  Disconnect the reset switch from the
    motherboard, then try to boot up.
    4.  This one is weird.  It fixed my problem, however, based on the
    troubleshooting you've done, I don't hold out hope it will fix yours.
    For some strange reason, some MSI motherboards will not boot
    if you've just plugged them in.  Plug in the computer, make sure
    the power strip and the switch on the power supply are all in the
    "ON" position, then go grab a beer.  After waiting a couple of minutes,
    turn on the computer.
    I know it sounds weird.  But I have the same motherboard and CPU.
    If I turn on the power strip and attempt to boot my computer immediately,
    I get a black screen and four red LEDs.  If I turn on the power strip and
    wait a minute or two, the computer boots up every time and works
    perfectly.
    Hope this helps.

  • Overclocking Z77A-G43 with i5 3570k, stuck @ 38x

    Hi guys,
    First, my configuration:
    Intel Core i5 3570K - Unlocked version
    MSI Z77A-G43 (BIOS v. 2D)
    GSKILL DDR3 1600 Mhz
    Windows 8.1
    Since 2 days, I flashed my bios and now I have a unsolved problem.
    Before it, my O/C was at 4,3 Ghz (100 x 43). Thus, MSI Live Update showed me a update (v. 2D) for my BIOS (MSI Z77A-G43 aka 7758) and I flashed it.
    After the first boot, Windows crashed with a BSoD and I went to BIOS. But now, I can't adjust CPU ratio as well, only 38x maximum whereas before 16 to 61. So I look up into this forum and can't find solutions. I have made energy savings changes, Clear CMOS and more, but nothing working.
    I note that "Core Ratio Limit" option disappear of my BIOS ...
    I downgrade to my former version v. 2.6 and more (2.7, 2.8, 2.A ...) and hope that everything was back to order but ... No.
    I don't know what to do, if someone has a idea ... Thank you in advance for your answers

    After 2 or 3 BIOS flashing, downloading of 2D version and installing Intel ME Driver 2 times (Both MSI's and Intel's Servers), I hope it will be a success and it's nice !
    Honestly, thank for you answer, you make me feel happy not to blast my mainboard because of a bad upgrade ^^.
    Thank so much for your help.  Sea Dog

  • Mac Pro intermediate black screen at boot after installing mountain lion

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro tower, but since installing Mountain Lion I now get a random black screen at boot. Unplugging the apple cinema 20' power supply for 15 minutes seems to clear the fault. Have had no such problems with other OS until Mountain Lion, seems OK when booting to Snow Lepoard on my other drive?
    Anyone have the same fault?

    Thanks for trying the help! I tried every version of start up, but with no screen it was no good..
    Finally solved the problem, it was the ATI HD 2600 XT graphics card that was dying a very slow death.
    Replaced it this morning with a GT120 Nvidia.
    Anyone with this card should Google it, as apple did a big recall on these..

  • Win 7/Z580: Black screen on boot up, before login screen?

    Win 7/Z580: Black screen on boot up, before login screen?
    =======================================
    I find some interesting posting in this forum. Thanks for keeping this forum to help windows/Lenovo community. I like to pick up the brain of this forum to resolve the black screen issue. I am not sure, whether it caused by virus. I use Microsoft Security Essentials. I am not able to run this in command prompt.
    I started my laptop this morning & login screen showed up. Once I entered my login credentials, I heard the sound that usually plays once a login is successful, but I ended up with a black screen. After this occurred, I had to hold down the power button to manually shut down the computer. Once I started it up again, I was prompted to do a system repair, which eventually ended up with all successful outcomes, but I now have a black screen with a cursor before the login screen now. I have no idea what caused this to happen. My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad Model Z580 (500 GB HD, 6GB RAM).
    I am not able to get into safe mode or any other mode, which all leads to a black screen described above. I am able to use the "Repair Your computer" tools after pressing F8 during booting only . All other options leads to Black screen with cursor in the middle
    Last Known Good Configuration leads to same
    Enable Low Resolution Video (640x480) leads to same My Z580 is not responding to CTRL+ALT+DEL Windows Logo keys as well.
    **** I tried SAFE Mode. It loaded couple of drivers and paused at CLASSPNP.SYS load. It went to Black screen with cursor at center.
    I am able to invoke control pannel from Command prompt of working PC by typing control.
    Z580 PC is not responding to control from command prompt (under Repair Your computer)  either.

  • I bought a MSI Z77A-G43 and 1st PCIE(3.0 I guess) slot doesn't work?

    I bought a MSI Z77A-G43 and 1st PCIE (3.0 I guess) slot doesn't work? I mean when I put my gf card in it , my screen wont start. BUt when I put it to other blue Pcie (2.0 I guess) it works. What will be the reason? Do I need to do anything in bios ?

    I had a similar situation recently.
    1.) Check the cpu/ socket for damage
    2.) Remove the mobo and make sure there are no extra stand off's under the board.
    3.) Check the pci/e slot for obstruciton or debris
    Other than that it's probably going to be an rma issue.

  • MSI Z77A-G43 UEFI Overvolt+Intel Exteme Tuner Overvolt combo

    Hey all,
    I just wanted to run past you an experiment I did and I think worked.
    I currently overclock my i5-3570k with an every day overclock of 4.4 at no offset voltage and a benchmark overclock of 4.7 at +.14V - however my benchmark overclock isnt exactly stable.
    I noticed in Exteme Intel Tuning Utility There's a slider there for additional  mV turbo voltage.  I'm multiplier overclocking for my benchmark overclock with no power saving features and my voltage tops out at around 1.34V but when I add additional mV on Intel Extreme Tuner it goes to 1.38V.  It also made me pass my 3dmark at 4.7 which is hit-or-miss but now worked every single time and also passed IBT.
    Could this truly be modifying my input voltage on the CPU beyond the motherboard's limited offset mV overclocking?
    Is this super dangerous and should I never do it again?

    1.400v's on the CPU is the industry recommended limit for an everyday machine, so whatever way it gets there shouldn't make any difference.

    If not doing a 'Turbo' OC, I don't see the connection with mV turbo setting. If raising the mV on the Intel utility raises the voltage to the CPU, and it is confirmed, then it must work as you have described.
