Graphics driver details for MSI Z77MA-G45 and other motherboards

This is request for MSI to put more details of the on-board graphics capabilities.
My goal is to have four monitors by adding an additional PCIe graphics card.
Recent versions of Windows can only support multiple graphics cards if the drivers are essentially the same.
I would like to see enough information on the spec sheets for the integrated graphics so that I can decide what models of graphics cards I can buy so that Windows will work with my new card as well as the on-board graphics.
The spec sheet says Radeon but I think that there are many options in the Radeon family.
Thanks

Nice, but this is a Users-to-Users Forum so you are wrong here if an official MSI answer is wanted. >>How to contact MSI.<<

What? Where have you read that. How should different vga adapters have the same driver. Windows 7 can handle different vga drivers

MOVED: MSI Z77MA-G45 and front audio header

This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.

Do the front USB headers work?
Also try the board out of case and put it on a non-conductive surface. Retry with basic components and see if font audio works if you connect it.

MSI Z77MA-G45 limited Bios settings

Hi everyone,
I recently got a new motherboard for my 3770K, an MSI Z77MA-G45 and updated the Bios to Version 1.9.
I am a bit frustrated with this board because it doesn't provide some essential settings for overclocking:
- Cannot set the Turbo multipliers, it only allows to change the base frequency ones
- It won't let me specify custom Vcore voltages. It only allows me to select between a few offset values (+0.02, +0.04, +0.06)
Are the above limitations normal for the CPU+Board+BiosVersion combination?
I have seen on the web others with exactly the same board or the Z77A-G45, that provide lots of extra settings.
Is there an option in the Bios that would unlock extra settings ?
FYI, "Adjust CPU ratio in OS" is disabled.
Thank you!

As mentioned, use the keyboard arrow keys to highlight the setting, then use the keyboard's 'numbers pad' + or - keys to change the value.
Thanks for adding the numlock and making that clearer Froggy Gremlin

MSI N210-512D2 Vid card doesn't display graphics with MSI z77ma-g45 motherboard

New Motherboard: MSI z77ma-g45
New Card: N210-512D2
Does not display graphics.
I stick a HIS Radeon HD 5450 in the MB and its fine. I stick the N210-512D2 in a old dell and it's fine.
Whats making the N210-512D2 Card incompatable with z77ma-g45 motherboard?

Using it along an AMD card is quite useless and therefor results maybe wrong. Try the 210 alone in the other slot. Also please list system specs: >>Posting Guide<<

Does mountain lion comes with graphic, Does mountain lion comes with graphi, Does mountain lion comes with graphic driver updates? I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.

Need some advice

I'm currently using snow leopard, and it seems that there's no graphic driver updates for a really long time.
Snow Leopard is no longer being updated, 10.6.8, was the last update. So, a "really long time," will be forever.
Yes, ML has graphic driver updates, but since there is no way to guess whether it impacts your unmentioned hardware, there is no way your question can be answered.

MSI Z77MA-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Motherboard z77 please help me

So i just got my MSI Z77MA-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Motherboard z77 slotted it all together all seemed fine untill it wouldn't recognize my hard drive. I currently dont have a dvd drive at the moment so i put all the files of the win7 and msi drivers on the same 8gb stick. When i search for storage intel and see compatible drivers it sees one in RAID which i install but nothing else seems to happen. Ive been in bios and switched it from ahci raid and ide, that ahci etc one and Raid appear to be the same out come ie no harddrive visable. IDE doesnt even load it gets to starting windows logo then black screen and yes a i checked the harddrive is on the bottom sata1. Is my motherboard just defective or is there anything else to try. Sorry i have no other computer to use other than my laptop hopefully get a dvd drive soon (in the post) and hopefully a ssd to see if its the harddrive but i dont think that will make much difference. Cheers for any advise

So now everything seems to be working fine, but when you are in windows, if you leave the computer at idle it crashes?
For now, go into uefi bios and hit f6 for optimized defaults.
Hit f10 save and exit.
Once you have entered the os, open cpuz and post screen shots of the spd tabs of each memory stick installed and the memory tab. (You can open multiple instances of cpuz and take 1 screen shot.)
*When you do this the bios will default to achi mode remember.

Z77MA-G45 and Radeon 7850 Incompatibility?

Hi Folks,
I helped a friend pick out components, and build, his first PC.
Intel i3 3225
16gb G.Skill Ripjawz CL9 DDR3 1600
XFX Radeon 7850
MSI Z77MA-G45
Thermaltake TR2 500W
I have tried updating to the latest MSI official BIOS for the motherboard (1.9). I have installed a Radeon 4870 I had lying around (it draws 166W compared to the 105W of the 7850), the display works with the 4870 video card, onboard video also works. However the 7850 does not work. I have tried every bios setting related to video or PCI-Express; the PCI-Express 3.0 option to both Auto and Disabled. I have set the options for IGD and PEG, and tried both. Voltages coming from the power supply are within spec. No pins are bent, the CPU is installed correctly, and the HS is seated properly. Temps are in the 40Cs for the CPU and in the 30Cs for the Motherboard.
All signs at this point, suggest the video card being at fault, however, upon returning to the store it was purchased, the tech tested the card in their test bench, and proclaimed it worked fine. The question I have is: Is there some kind of incompatibility at work here? I know there is an "added more VGA compatibility" to the release notes on the BIOS updates, is it simply that I need to wait for a new BIOS revision for the motherboard to get this card to work?
Thanks in advance for any potential solutions anyone can throw my way.

well as there are 2 parts that have to work together it could be either! unless the video card can be updated as it may just be that it can't be excluded!
as the board works with another graphics card and that the graphics card works in a test bench then it will more then likely be the VBIOS being Incomparable on the HD7850 (thats quite common)! do you have someone you know that may be willing to let you try it in there machine thats possible something like a 1155socket or even a AMD socketed board (AM3, AM3+, FM1 or FM2) thats got PCI-E gen 2 compatible slots on it?

Share memory on MSI Z77MA-G45 an 3570k

Hi all,
I have a MSI Z77MA-G45 mobo and a i5-3570k CPU. I use the integrated graphics.
On the mobo's spec page says that the maximum share memory is 1760MB. I can only set 256MB in the BIOS. Is there something else that I need to change to get more memory available?
On the system I also have installed 2x4GB of Corsair Vengeance memory.

Intel uses DVMT for VGA memory.
You can set a fixed value (up to 256MB) and set the DVMT to maximum if you want.
That should make the system assign up to 1760 MB if needed.
It is dynamic so it only assigns the memory it actually needs.

Works: MSI Z77MA-G45 Motherboard

Just dropping a note to say that the MSI Z77MA-G45 motherboard with UEFI works perfectly under Arch. Initial installation was a little bit painful because I was installing from a USB drive that was not booted in UEFI mode. By following this guide and the installation guide, I managed to install refind, which got me into Arch, then I just repeated the GRUB2 installation steps to complete my install.
Systemd is a little weird and will definitely take some time to get used to, but I really like the new 100% manual installation method, along with the improved Arch bootstrapping and chroot'ing scripts. Very happy to see that this is still the same (but better!) distro that I used 6 years ago.

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

How can I stop my iphone 4s from asking for my icloud, yahoo and other passwords all the time?

As long as you share that AppleID for iCloud, you cannot. You are sharing a a single iCloud account and sync services. The only thing you can do is get a second AppleID and use it with iCloud - you do not have to use that new AppleID for anything but iCloud (ie. you can still share an AppleID for iTunes and App store purchases).
P.S. I am assuming you both want to sync your contacts with iCloud?

A fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players

Fast automatic tag fixer for owners of Zen and other tag based players.
I've written a simple freeware utility for fixing mp3 tag discrepancies. It is intended for use before uploading a bunch of albums to a tag-only media player. There's like a million of such programs out there, but this one is based on my exprience with the Creative Zen player, so it could be useful for fellow owners of the device.
First, the utility scans mp3 album folder tree looking for tag inconsistencies and suggesting corrections. After that you can review (and cancel/modify if needed) the corrections and apply the changes.
The detected tag errors can be corrected either manually or semi-automatically with the integrated Discogs search. There's a tuneable compilation processing feature, which helps keep compilation albums in one piece on your player.
You can check the utility out here http://taghycardia.narod.ru/english.html
Feature suggestions, bug reports welcomed.

The free program has been vastly updated since the last post.
Now, it can find and embed cover art for mp3 albums automatically, or it can do the opposite, remove cover images from mp3 files if you need to save space on your player or mobile device. In addition, there is an ability to correct wrong track order automatically and get exact tracklists from Discogs.
The URL is updated, too: http://taghycardia.info

Need the AD Link cable for SB X-Fi and other models. Anyone have an unneeded one?

Need the AD Link cable for SB X-Fi and other models. Creative is out of stock & discontinued. Anyone have an unneeded one? TIA.

This will do it perfectly. http://www.cableyourworld.com/prodde...?prod=CYW-1755
I once swapped such a cable with the one supplied by Creative because I needed a few extra inches of length. Therefore my recommendation is no gamble, it is a certainty. The only reason I would anticipate failure is if the PIN 1 matching is not performed on both the sound card and I/O bay. I have also seen people turn the cable upside down as well.

MSI Z77A-G45 and Samsung 840 Series weirdness

Ok so here's the thing
about a week ago i decided that it was time to build a new computer with a Z77A-G45 motherboard
put it together, installed windows 7 64-bit and everything was working just fine - for about 5 days -
but then one morning when i turned on my computer it decided not to boot and just sat there with fans running with an A2 code at the bottom left of the screen
i tried taking out the ram leaving just 1 in and moving it to different slots and trying a different ram block boots thinking it might be faulty ram,
when that didn't work i tried removing the graphics card and boot with just the onboard VGA, reset the CMOS jumper, and even replaced that battery on the motherboard thinking the shop might have shipped an almost dead one, took everything apart and booted it outside the case on a glass surface to make sure it wasn't some sort of short
but the only time it actually wanted to get past the A2 code was when i booted with only 1 of my hard drives, so i started changing my drives around using various combinations of SATA cables and ports (luckily had an extra 5 SATA cables lying around)
eventually i narrowed it down to it wanting to boot with 2 of my 3 drives but the 3rd one (a Samsung 840 series 500 GB SSD, that has no system files or anything fancy other then music, movies and a few games at the moment) getting it stuck on the A2 code
so i set it up as an external USB drive with a SATA/USB converter i had sitting around but then it would get stuck on B4 instead if i booted with the drive connected
however everything would work just fine if i connected the drive after the system had booted up (or even just unplugging and replugging it when it got stuck on the B4)
once back in windows with the drive connected i ran all the diagnostics i could think of but nothing showed anything wrong with it
(and the only thing i had done with the drive before it stopped wanting to boot was to defrag it)
eventually i decided to copy all the files from the drive to a different drive and reformat it as sort of a hail-mary
and to my surprise that actually made it boot up just fine
so i moved it back inside the case as a normal drive just to make sure it would still work (which it did) and then moved all the files back to see if any of them were the culprit - that turned out not to be the case however
it booted up without complaint with all the original files on it
so now my question is why?
what the heck is going on?
did defragging cause some sort of data fault that caused the bios to not be able to read the drive properly or did i just buy a haunted computer?
like i said everything is back in the state it was the day before it didn't want to boot and bios and been defaulted so it's not really an issue at the moment but I'd still like to know what's going on so i can hopefully avoid it in the future
any answers or comments will be appreciated
for your reference a full parts list:
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G45
Bios Version: 2.10
Graphics card: Club3D GeForce GTX 550ti 2GB
PSU: Corsair TX 950W - 100-240V ~ 12A 50/60Hz
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K / 3.5 GHz Processor (Stock boxed fan)

Hitachi HDS722020ALA330 2TB HDD (Media/Backup)
Samsung 840 Series 500GB SSD (Media/Backup)
OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

This is strange
I have Z77A-G43, and have exactly the same problem with one 1GB sata drive, that works just fine in every other PC.
In my case PC run into restart loop, but with same code A2 as yours.
Strangest part was PC was restarting even if I put HDD into PCI Sata/Raid card !?
So I am guessing here its not a hardware problem, but a software (BIOS) problem.
Now whole pc with Z77A-G43 is at Service because of faulty DVI output (not working).
Will try reformating drive, but need first to buy >1gb hdd to backup that one
Drive is currently working just fine in this 10y old MSI PC =.=
It seams they have stopped making things as they used to, this old mb is one durrable dog.
which was the main reason I went to same company when in question was mb...

Are there any graphic driver updates for Satellite L850-162

Are there any driver updates available for the L850-162?
I'm just running with the ones that came installed with the laptop but the display is pixellated and jumpy when watching video.
Any help/advice would be much appreciated

Sat L850-162 is a part of the PSKDGE and it has been equipped with an Intel HD (INTEL HM76) Express chipset (graphic chip)
There are more Toshiba series which use the same chipset so you could also use the drivers released for such notebook models.
For example:
C850 PSKC8E
C855 PSKC8E
C870 PSC8EE
L830 PSK84E
L870 PSKBGE
P850 PSPKBE
and others
At least you could also try to use the Intel HD HM76 driver from the Intel page.
