Debug code 70 , mpower z87

Hi,
yesterday a friend of mine bought the mpower z87 mobo and
everything was fine until today.
The debug leds show the code 70 and the video output doesn't come out.
I'm really desperate and sad for him, I dont know what to do.
The configuration is:
msi mpower z87
i5 4670k
corsair cx750
samsung evo 840
msi gtx 770 lightning

thanks for the reply.. but I knew that the 70 code means Late South Bridge Inizialization
but I didn't know what does it mean .
Anyway we tried with only 1 RAM plugged and the debug code sometimes is A2 (Ide detected) sometimes A0 or A3.
With 2 RAMs the code is 99 (Super IO Inizialization).
We also tried to unplug the video card and the hdd and do the CMOS, with no results .
little update:
the computer now turns on but after 3 mins turns itself off...

MSI MPower B2 debug code

I have boot problem.
New Mpower board with i7-3770K, Crucial Ballistic Tac, 2x8GB, Silent Pro M2 620W.
I have B2 debug code when booting with onbord GPU.
Boot is OK with my old Asus GPU card.

ok if i was you i would take the CPU out of the socket and look at the contact pads for connection marks on them with a magnifier and strong light!
if any pads are missing a contact mark or one has 2 you have a location to look if the pins are bent in that area where it sits.
if all checks out and all seem to have connected to the pads then i would hazard a guess and say that something is seriously wrong with the board!

MSI MPower Debug Codes 4F, 55, 56 [HELP]

So, I just went into the BIOS this morning, just lookin around on settings and disabled a few (Intel VT), and some other stuff that was unneeded.
I booted into Windows, everything was normal, and then as I type my password to the login screen, it just turns off. I was like "hmm okay, maybe shouldn't have turned that off"
I boot my computer again. This time there was no signal on the monitor. I thought that I should open my case to check the debug codes. When I boot my pc it just keeps an ongoing loop of 4F, 55, 56.
I tried switching the BIOS to the 2nd one. The result was worse; it just made a restart loop(the other one doesn't restart, just loop those boot code).
So now Im kinda screwed :/ - Any suggestions?
- Note I also tried to do a CMOS reset on both BIOS

A number of MPower boards. MPower what platform?

Z87-GD65 debug code 03 problem

Hello
my system specs:
cpu: i7 4770k
motherboard: z87 GD65 (1.9 installed)
SSD: Samsung 840evo msata (windows 7 x64 ultimate)
PSU: evga g2 1300W
GPU: 3 * Toxic 280x (11221-01-40g)
RAM: 2 * 4gB Kingston HyperX Beast DDR3-2400mHz
3 * x16 powered riser
I'll use this pc for litecoin mining also sometimes for gaming (dota 2). If I plug my gpu to motherboard without PCI riser cable there is no problem but I want to use PCI riser (x16). When I plug x16 riser to motherboard, it doesn't work (actually working with 03 error) debug leds showing "03" and after 15 seconds, motherboard restart itself for one time.
I already tried as follows:
with riser cable, without gpu. (gen3 gen2 gen1 auto, tried all of them) debug code 03
with riser cable, with gpu. (gen3 gen2 gen1 auto, tried all of them) debug code 03
without riser cable, with gpu. everything is okay
without riser cable, without gpu. everything is okay
How I can use PCI risers for my graphic cards_? please advice.
Thanks...

Bumps are not allowed and will probably be removed.
>>> Forum Rules <<<
As mentioned before, this is a non standard configuration attempt and the forum does not assist with it.
sorry for bump.
okay, maybe someone can explain how can i assemble this 3 gpu to my motherboard, there is not enough space for 3 gpu, because toxic 280x is thicker than double slot (2.2 slot).

Z77 MPOWER - Debug code A2

I've been using this motherboard for a solid month until last Saturday when I shut down my pc and I walk away being done for the day.
To my surprise the motherboard boots itself as I'm walking away and it's refusing to go post bios and keeps giving different error codes depending on what I pull out. Having switched all parts and taken everything out the only debug code that remains is A2.
Specs
Z77 MPOWER
3570 @ stock with h80 cooler
2 x 8 gig ram 1600
2x 7950 @ stock
2 ssd's, 1 hdd and 1 DVD drive.
Corsair ax 750.
What I've done.
Pull out memory cards 1 by 1.
Pull out the Graphic Card, tried different as well.
Pull out all SATA cables and connectors.
Pull out everything hooked to the backplate.
Reset CMOS (Will boot, when prompting to go into bios to change settings it will shut down and go back to A2)
Switch to DUAL BIOS (Will boot, when prompting to go into bios to change settings it will shut down and go back to A2)
I've RMA'd the motherboard but the shop said a pin was bend and refused to fix the motherboard. Having received the motherboard back and inspected the socket I did indeed notice a slightly bend pin.
However this pin is so slightly bend that it's not touching any of the other pins and it took me a "whole" 2 minutes to bend it back in line with the rest. Whatever this was caused by me or them I'm unsure, hell the pin is so slightly bend that I doubt it would interrupt with normal operating procedures.
The motherboard however is still not functioning and stuck on the A2 error code. The CPU debug leds show all lights as a "go"
I wonder if it's even possible for the pin to become damaged while in usage for over a month and cause it to be stuck at A2 debug code? Having looked up the code it seems related to SATA,IDE and the likes which where not plugged in.
I was forced to buy the same motherboard from another store to actually use my pc again, the CPU itself is working fine so it's definitely the motherboard. Love the mobo, just not the store support
Needless to say, having spend 360 (180x2) euro on this board and receiving virtually no support from the shop, I'm not amused.
Any support or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,

ok have you asked to return the original board to the shop for RMA or a refund?
also did you have MSI live update installed when it all went bad?
I have returned the original board to the shop for RMA. They refused to accept it claiming MSI would not accept the board due to the slightly bend pin.
I did not have MSI live update installed at that time as I reformatted my pc recently so bare essentials were installed. I however do have it installed right now and used it update my new mobo to the latest bios firmware.

MSI Z77 MPower - Boot issues (A2 debug code and more)

Hey guys,
I've been trying to get my new computer build working but I have encountered several issues when trying to boot the computer.
Before putting everything inside my case, I tested the motherboard + CPU + 1 stick of ram to make sure everything was working. I had issues in the past where I had to remove everything once I had things mounted.
Everything seemed to work and I got into the BIOS and looked like everything was good.
I mounted it in the case with the same configuration and I was able to get into the BIOS again. So I thought everything must be ok.
Fast forward a couple hours later after I finish plugging everything in, I try to turn it on but it just gets into this boot loop.
Turn on > Fans spin for a couple seconds > turns off > repeat. This just kept going on and on and I wasn't exactly sure what was going on.
I started to unplug components and when I only had the Mobo + CPU + 2 sticks of ram in I was able to get into the BIOS.
I plugged things in one at a time and when I plugged in my SSD it would work.. but when I added another drive I would start getting the A2 Debug message on my board.
I would continually get this A2 debug message and I am not sure what to do to get it to work.
I have updated my BIOS to the latest ones and it is still not working.
Could this be an issue with my PSU? I really hope it's not the MOBO..
My System:
i7 3770k
CoolerMaster 212 Evo
MSI M77 MPower
16GB DDR3 Ram
7870PCS+ Tahiti LE
Corsair HX650 PSU

Quote
I've tested it with one stick and 2 SSDs and it doesn't give me the A2 debug code.
Do you have any different ram to test with?
What ram exactly are you using?
You may perhaps be able to set the ram timings in bios to JEDEC standard 9-9-9-24 1600 perhaps

MSI MPOWER b2 or 62 debug code

I bought my 1st Mpower about a month ago and had to RMA it. I had/have the same problem as this user. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164766.0
I RMA'd the board because after hours of clearing cmos and swapping things around nothing worked. Now I get a new replacement and the same problem persists.
I have swapped the ram using 1 stick at a time, tried both one at a time. Cleared CMOS numerous times. I have had the board in and out of the case so not a grounding problem. I have tried on-board and and a GTX 560 gpu. There are 0 bent pins that I can see. CPU triangle is facing the correct way. My monitor says no signal and can't get into the bios (obviously). I also cannot tell if the debug led says a lowercase b2 or a 62, I assume it is b2.
Any help is appreciated this is very frustrating.

There will always be people with similar problems but that doesn't help you with yours. If no possibility to test cpu there is no other way but to rma cpu or board and to see if it was the right component to rma.
This has happened twice with two board and someone on these forums and someone on toms hardware forums with the same cpu (3770k) and same board as me with the same led debug code. That's not a similar problem that's the exact same problem.

MSI Z87 G45 Gaming Debug codes

Is there a list of the debug codes for MSI LG1150 motherboards anywhere? For some reason the website and the manual dont seem to have them.

the board uses a AMI based BIOS so use this >>AMI Post Codes PDF<< as they are the Checkpoint codes it uses!!!!
the 0x before the code is nothing but the eg: 0xA2 is error code is error code a2/A2 and so on!!!!

Z77 Mpower - No video signal on boot - Debug code "Ad"

Hi, I can't get any video signal from my mobo, it seems that it can't boot at all.
I just plugged CPU (i7 3770k), CPU cooler (Noctua NH-D14) and 1 RAM (8gb DDR3 2400MHz), no vga, hd or dvd writer, then I obviously plugged the 24 pin connector from the PSU and the 8 pin connector for additional CPU power.
I have my monitor directly plugged to motherboard but when I turn on my pc, even if fans are working and motherboard leds are on, I still don't have any video signal and on the motherboard I can see the debug code "Ad".
Please can you explain what is happening?
Thank you very much for any advice and sorry for my bad english.

I tried to reseating the CPU and nothing changed, then I reset the CMOS, waited for a couple of minutes, restored the power, and the debug code became "A0", but after about another minute I retried to turn on the PC and the Debug code returned "Ad".
I'm quite frustrated.
Side Note: For my try I didn't use the boxed cpu cooler, I just installed my cooler without plugging the fan cable to the "CPU fan" pins, i thought it was sufficient to see if my motherboard boots, isn't it?
Update: I tried ro reset bios again and plug change the RAM stick in solt2 with the other one. Again the system was unable to boot but the debug code became B4. After a couple of minutes I tried to boot again without touching anything and the debug code returned "Ad", I can't give an explanation to these apparently random debug codes
Update 2:Now I switched ram slot, from slot 2 I mounted ram stick to slot 4 and reset cmos again. The first boot after resetting gave me debug code "64" then again, shout down, wait a couple of minutes, turn on Pc and... debug code "Ad" again.
It seems that first boot after cmos reset the mobo gives me a random debug code, then it returns "Ad" as always for the following boots.

MPower Z87 - long board start up

Hello,
I purchased MPower Z87 board and after yesterdays assembly I stumbled upon strange board behaviour.
Spec:
CPU - i7 4770
RAM - 2x4GB G.Skill
HDD's - 1x WD EARS 2TB SATA2 - 1x WD EARX 2TB SATA3
SSD'a - 1x OCZ Vertex 90GB SATA2 - 1x Samsun 250GB SATA3 - 1x Toshiba 128GB mSATA
PSU - Seasonic 620W
Problem:
AFAIKT - Debug codes:
9C - SCSI detect
A2 - ATA detect
Long board start up. When I power up PC then I can see debug codes:
9C - 20sec -> 2min
A2 - 2sec -> 5min
So in worst case scenerio board boot up up to 5minutes !!!
NO HDD/SSD - 9C - 20sec -> A2 - 3sec = 23sec to BIOS !!!
This is on 130 BIOS, same on older one that's why I upgraded from 100.
Any idea what can cause this?
Any adivce more then welcome.
PS> Some complains:
I must say that I'm not a fan of MSI at all. I did purchase this board only because sound was better then the one in ASUS ones. My bad and now I regret it because this on my speakers won't be noticed anyways.
6xSATA slot - congratulation on adding to the Mobo L shaped connecters and not streight ones, now I can't connect upper ones when lower ones are used !!!

Well ... I don't know what debug code mean because well.. no entry in manual on this one... so. But that's not important.
Tests, now I see only A2 debug codes (9C is either super fast or not present at all) and time is related to that code:
Legacy+UEFI
SATA3 - boot very fast (SSD Samsung 840 - clean - factory state)
SATA3 - WD EARX (HDD - clean - factory state) - slow (around 5-10sec)
SATA3 + SATA3 - (SSD + HDD - factory state) - very slow
UEFI:
SATA3 connected - boot very fast (SSD Samsung 840 - clean - factory state)
SATA3 connected - WD EARX (HDD - clean - factory state) - very fast
SATA2 connected - WD EARS (HDD - partition data) - very slow
Ok.
That's deal breaker for me, as I won't juggle drives when new ones will be purchase later just to get acceptable boot speed.
In old days (Pentium 1 to 3 times) MSI product were portrayed by me as cheapest one and cr@9ies ones, now only first one changed as it's still cr@9 but cost now much more.
Going to the shop for ASUS one <- that's probably faster solution.
UPDATE:
Sometime when I press power off after some time (5-10sec) PC turns ON automatically, maybe I did turn on some "auto wake" feature - although I have all this disabled.
A2 - on drives still with long wait.

(MSI MPOWER Z87) System Won't Start

Hi, a month ago I built for myself a new PC with MSI MPOWER Z87 motherboard.
For a month it worked fine, but couple of days ago, when I tried to launch it nothing would work, OS doesn't start, fans not working including processor fan. All I see is power button button(on motherboard) lit, OC Switch Led lights (one red and one blue) and Clear CMOS (blue) blinking. Debug led doesn't work either. Can anyone help me to solve this problem, what problem do I have and what can I do to fix it?

HuntKey Green Power 550W Sounds cheap and unreliable. Haswell also requires slightly different PSU than older systems did, so if possible test something like Corsair, Seasonic, Antec (and similar with GOOD quality and reputation). You could also go to local PC shop/IT services and ask for testing your system with their quality PSU.

Big problem with Mpower z87 + I5 4670K

Hi
My English is not perfect so i'll be quick :
Hardware :
MSI Mpower Z87
Core i5 4670K
2x4GO DDR3 2400 1.65V
EVGA 750W GOLD
Water cooling
Ati 7950
SSD Samsung 120GO
So i'm trying to overclock my 4670K but when my frequency is at 4.2MHZ i am obliged to fix my voltage at 1.320V.
If my voltage is under 1.320V and my frenquency is 4.2MHZ i have a boot loop or a BSOD with code : STOP 0x00000124.
Why me i need to fix my voltage over 1.320 V ???? it is to HIGH for juste 4.2 MHZ......
Please help me.
Thx

Doesn't work. I have flash the bios and try to O/C but same problème : boot loop on windows.
Yeah, 42X on the core worked but with a high voltage (1.300 V). On the internet i have see many tests where users run on 45X with a low voltage (1.140 V) Why i need a high voltage ???? and why when i change the voltage to 1.300 + i have a black screen ?? i am desesperate, first time on MSi fore me.....
Leave the CPU V. on Auto. Use the voltage offsets if needed above what gets set by default. Simply the luck-of-the-draw with Intel CPU's. Mine will do 47X on only 1.18v's, but it cooks itself to death. So the alternative? I set mine to 43X as at 45X, the performance was identical at 43X with less heat and voltage being required. If the board works perfect at auto/stock/default, then it isn't the board.

9C and A2 Debug Codes

Hello a few days ago i turned on my computer and in the bottom right these two digit debug codes appeared i thought everything was normal but when i got up to the windows 8.1 login screen my screen went black but i could see the cursor i backed my files up (Long Story) and reformatted my HDD and re installed windows and ever since then i and still receiving these to debug codes i tried to find them in the Manual but i could not find them. Ever since then i have realized i have been getting LOTS of error on my computer when installing programs and my computer not running to it fullest. So i was wondering if anyone here could help me. I have also reset the CMOS and also booting my computer takes alot longer now.
Thank You in Advanced
My Specs:
CPU: i5 4440 Quad Core 3.1 Ghz
Motherboard: Z87 GD-65 Gaming Motherboard (Socket LGA 1150)
Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series

PSU: FSP Aurum 750 W Gold Power (Modular)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB

I had 9C a few times when i had a USB Sata Dock plugged in and turned on after working on some hard drives and shutting down and coming back the next day booting up i got a long pause on 9C... I unplugged the dock and rebooted and it was back to normal boot speed and no issues.
The A2 code could be a few things, but do you have optical drives? AKA CD or DVD drives? Is there a disc in either of them? I left a disc in one of my drives one time and it hung on A2 and took forever to boot, i think if it detects a disc in the drive it checks to see if its a bootable disc and causes the hang. Since i randomly leave a disc in there now and then, i hate optical drive use compared to flash drives but its a necessary evil for dealing with customers sometimes, i went into the BIOS and changed the boot order so that my SSD is first and and made sure everything else is either disabled or after the SSD in the boot order. You can always tap F12 on boot to get to the optical drive if needed to boot, although i generally boot anything i need other then windows from flash drives, including windows installation.
The A2 could also be a problem with the SSD... Do you have it plugged into one of the White 6gb Sata ports? Thats where it should be if you don't. If none of this fixes it and your still booting slow and the SSD is under warranty i would check with the manufacturer. I have had a few bum SSD's that worked great for a bit then suddenly had issues.
Also make sure the firmware on your SSD is the latest! But back up before you try to update it if its not, because i have had firmware updates corrupt the SSD and then had to reinstall windows after that.

New Build, Won't POST, Debug code stays at 00

I just got done building a new MPOWER MAX with an I5-4670K. The build is a new power supply, motherboard, CPU, RAM. Video card I was using was in an old system and worked fine. 24 pin power, and the 2x 8 pin power supplies are all hooked up.
I have torn the PC back apart to where it's now just Motherboard, and CPU. No RAM, no Video card, no HDD's, no DVD drive. The system will not POST, and the Debug code never changes from 00. I have even pulled off all the front panel Power/LED/Speaker connectors.
I have also tried switching the BIOS toggle switch, and cleared BIOS from the back panel. I don't know where to go with this since it won't even give me a code of any kind.

MPower Z87 stuck at A2 when Fanatec wheel connected

Hello,
I've been experiencing a strange issue with your MPower Z87 motherboard, BIOS already updated to the latest version available. Long story short, I have a Fanatec steering wheel
eu.fanatec.com/RacingWheels/ClubSportWheelBaseEU
and everytime I turn on my PC with my steering wheel already on, the motherboard shows the usual codes on my monitor, then get stuck at A2 status without even reaching the MPower yellow and black image. As soon as I unplug my wheel's USB cable, PC runs fine and reaches Windows without a problem.
My configuration is:
Intel Core i7-4770K
16 GB DDR3 RipjawsX 1600 Mhz
Samsung 840 256GB
MSI GTX 780 Lighting
Enermax Revolution 650W
Do you think that this procedure might help? What's strange is that this happens with an Asus Z87 motherboard too, while everything works fine on my notebook, which mounts a Sandy Bridge CPU instead of a Haswell one.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you need further informations.

When you update the bios use the method here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172772.msg1257570#msg1257570
The latest MP bios can be found here:

I'll be posting the latest beta's this week after I am done being at the hospital so much.
