GTX 970 Not Detected in BIOS

Hi, this is the first time I've posted here so I hope I'm not in the wrong spot.
I recently built my first PC running windows 7, MSI Z97 Gaming 7 - my video Card is a MSI GTX970 Twin Frozen V.
I removed the graphics card to do some cleaning and when plugging it back in, it is no longer detected in the BIOS. I have the latest BIOS software 1.8. I tried putting it in another PCIe slot and still nothing. I tried restoring factory settings on the BIOS by removing the CMOS battery and still nothing detected. I've looked relentlessly on forums for help but still no luck. It worked perfectly before and now it just is not being recognized, resulting in no DVI signal black screens. Having to use an HDMI port directly to the motherboard.
Has anyone ran into this problem before with any solutions? Should I reinstall windows and start clean? I'm running out of ideas here.
Thanks for any assist.
Board: MSI Z97 Gaming 7 LGA 1150
Bios: Version 1.8
VGA: MSI 970GTX TWIN FROZRV
PSU: Seasonic ATX12V/EPS12V 750 Power Supply (SSR-750RT)
Intel Core i5-4690K Processor 3.5 GHz LGA 1150
MEM: G.SKILL Ripsjaws X Series 8GB (2x4GB)
HDD: Samsung 250G Evo Series SATA III Internal SSD
COOLER: Corsair H100I Liquid Cooler
OS: Windows 7 64bit Home Premium

I haven't yet, I thought i was good to go when I finally got the card detected. Now it's another thing. I will do it when I have some day light. What should I do when I do remove the board out of the case? What will this do? Yes I'm new to this Thank you so much for your assistance, its greatly appreciated.

SATA HDD not detected in Bios K7n2 ILSR

Hi! I have a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR and I just bought a new hard drive (sATA) but it is not recognized in BIOS. There are no options to enable sATA mode in the bios and I couldn't install WinXP even after loading the driver (by pressing F6 on the setup). The only way for me to install WinXP is by setting up CTRL-F and setting up an array for RAID BUT even after installing WinXP via RAID, the sATA drive is still not detected in BIOS. Is there any way that I can use the sATA drive without having to RAID it? Hope you guys can help me...Thanks!

Promise SATA/RAID controller on this board is a seperate chip, so BIOS has nothing to do with it.
to use a single SATA drive on this board, press Ctrl+F to set up a striped array and add the single drive to it, install Windows onto the drive, making sure you press F6 when prompted to use the Promise driver on the floppy disk

Sata HDD not detected in BIOS in K8MM-v

Hi!!
I have an AMD (athalon 3000+) plateform K8MM-v(vial K8M800-CE+VT8237R chipset) having two problems
1. NIC doesn't work properly, I inferrred it because the same setting of TCP/IP are working for other system but not for me. Windows always shows Restricted or limited access at nic status.
2. SATA HDD is not Detected in BIOS.
System is running with XP Prof. having ram 512MB.

Loading SATA drivers will not make the drive appear in the BIOS
Without knowing what hard disk he has, I can only speculate it is a SATA-II 3gb/s drive, which rarely work with the VIA VT8237/R chipset. You can try jumpering the drive to SATA-I 1.5gb/s mode, but there's still no guarantee it will work.

L520 second HDD not detected by BIOS, why?

Hi everybody
It appears Schalli and I have same problem: a second hard drive (inserted in an aftermarket caddy) is not detected by BIOS. So you can not boot from 2nd hard drive.
But, if you start the OS (Windows or Linux or even DOS!), the second HDD is seen and works perfectly (no connection issues, full speed etc).
I tried several HDD, also SSD. Also tried removing internal HDD, leaving only HDD in the caddy.
BIOS is 1.20.
Can other users please verify?
Lenovo: why is this? Why doesn't BIOS detect the second hard drive?
Thanks!!!

Same with my machine. So I put my SSD into the original drive bay and moved my HD to my caddy.

MSI GTX 970 not being detected on first PCI-E 3.0 slot of MSI Gaming 5 motherboa

Hi guys.
So I recently got myself a new build and some of the components include a MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G GPU and a MSI Gaming 5 mobo. When installing the GPU to the motherboard I found that for some reason nothing was being displayed on the screen. The screen wouldn't display a no signal message but it would stay black when I booted the PC up. However, when I plugged the GPU into the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot it would work and display on the screen. I read on a Tom's Hardware thread of someone with a similar problem and it was recommended to him to check his CPU for bent pins and he later confirmed that was the problem. I have tried the same, but as far as I can tell all of the pins were in their natural state and couldn't find any bent ones.
But I also discovered something else which really started to confuse me... When I plug in my old GPU (a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti) into the first PCI-E 3.0 slot, it would work normally?! Why would it work fine with my GTX 560 but not my GTX 970?? I have tried everything. Even stripping the pc down to the most basic parts on a wooden surface and tested everything but it's still the same problem. I have also made sure that the display setting in the BIOS is set to PEG, but it would still not display anything when the GTX 970 is in the first slot, but if I plug the HDMI cable directly into my motherboard, even with the GTX 970 installed on the first slot, it would display normally. Also, in my BIOS it doesn't even detect anything being in the first PCI-E 3.0 slot in the Board Explorer menu. But when I installed it in the 2nd PCI-E 3.0 slot the Board Explorer menu would recognize it, but would say it's running at x8 and not x16. Should I be worried about this?
My full setup:
MSI Gaming 5 Motherboard
Intel i7 4790K
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
Kingston HyperX 1333Mhz 8Gb (2x4Gb)
Corsair RM 750 PSU
Corsair H80i CPU cooler
Any advice from you guys on what to do or what the problem could be would be greatly appreciated!

remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
also reseat the card into PCI-E slot 1 and make sure its fill very well into the slot

[REQUEST] Msi gtx 970 gaming 4g new bios

I bought a z77 motherboard and gtx 970 won't work in the pci-e 16x slot, but it works fine in pci-e 4x slot. Pci-e 16x slot works with another gpu. Motherboard bios is already latest, so the last thing I can try is to update the gpu bios.
Thanks.

Unfortunately not. And their support hasn't been much help. All they said is to try and update both bios and vbios, which did nothing. Wouldn't it be a hardware failure if all cards didnt work in the slot? I'm guessing it's a compatibility issue because both gpus are detected, the only difference is that for pci-e speed when gtx 570 is connected it says "x16", and with gtx 970 it's "x0" (seen using iGPU which isn't disabled with gtx 970). It does say "not present" if any of those cards is in the second slot, so there's that. Also, they said that they haven't got any reports of the similar problems with their brand's gtx 970.

REQUEST: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G original bios

My S/N is 602-V316-03SB1409075224 I would like to request the original vBIOS that my card came with.
My card had problems with the fans randomly spinning and so I updated to the appropriate bios which was NV316MH.182 and that fixed the problem. However I have noticed since updating that the noise from the card has increased when playing games and today whenever starting any game I get an instant crash and my whole system resets, this happens now even when I'm not playing a game and my computer has been randomly restarting and I know it's a problem with the GPU.
I am worried that it is most likely that the GPU is failing but I would like to try flashing the card to its original stock vBIOS and seeing if that fixes anything. Even if you don't believe the vBIOS is the problem, I would still very much like to have the stock vBIOS for my card. Thanks!
I'm on windows 8.1 64 bit.

MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Issues & BIOS Update

bios.zip (136.34 kB - downloaded 37 times.)
Hello,
ever since I bought my GTX 970 I've had about 5 BSOD's while playing CS:GO and GTA:V. I am not sure whether it's a GPU issue or not, but I never had that issue before (at least with CS:GO).
Tech specs:
MB: z87-pro
CPU: i7-4770K
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
OS: Win7 x64 SP1
latest OS updates
latest nVidia drivers
I've been wondering if there's a BIOS update for my GPU? I also tried just today to download MSI Live Update 6 but after executing the installer it displays "This application does not support this platform."
I've attached my GPU Bios.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
With LiveUpdate, don't worry. Many users got issue with it, I believe MSI is aware of this already.
Is your motherboard running latest BIOS?
Is it known to work fine with other graphics card??
Do you have any OC on your CPU/RAM? (RAM OC=more than 1600MHz). Remove and try again.
What did the BSOD say? Error code?
Heya, thanks for the reply.
That's good to know for Live Update, just wanted to let you know. Before my GTX970 I was using an Asus GTS 450 (I know, lame) and used integrated graphics a couple of times but never had BSOD's during games with either of those. I didn't take a note of the BSOD error code, can I find a log somewhere on my system to upload it?
OC-wise everything is running on stock clock, BIOS is also latest version (2103, according to Asus).

Hard disk not detected by bios

Hi, I have a CQ50-107NR and when press the power button the hard drive light indicator is flashing, but the bios or windows does not detect the hard disk, I have tried several hard disk that work in my other computers, I have been reparing pcs for more than 15 years and am very stumped by this problem. In my experience if the hard drive indicator is blinking that indicates that the laptop has detected it. But for this one not to detect it is confussing. I am repaing the laptop for someone, had to fix a problem with it over heating. If anyone has any ideas on this or had a similar problem please let me know.

It is not that uncommon on that series of laptops with AMD processor and nVidia GeForce graphics. The laptop is a close cousin of the dv6000 series which had a lot of issues back in the 2008 time frame. The chips on the motherboard will not keep a complete connection due to manufacturing flaws and it shows up as disappearing peripherals or dead video. Wireless cards, hard drives, optical drives all can stop working. The only fix is a motherboard repair or replacement.

I have the most recent Nvidia driver. Anyway to fix this? Or am I going to have to wait for Adobe to support my GPU?

Hi LMn0P,

I'm hoping Adobe plans to at least recognize these cards one day soon so they don't show up unsupported. If anything I would expect the newer adobe software to work better with newer cards than it should with 5 year old quadro cards.
I know a situation like this can be very frustrating, sorry about that.
Unfortunately, the newer Maxwell NVIDIA GPUs ship without the OptiX Library and acceleration of ray-traced 3D compositions is dependent on that. Therefore, acceleration of these comps will not ever be supported with those GPUs. You may want to reinstall that Quadro card if you plan on doing a lot of ray-traced 3D work.
The After Effects team does recommend that you move forward with Cinema 4D Lite, as that is what is being tested and supported currently and going into the future.

K410 with geforce gtx 760 not getting to BIOS

Hi,
I am trying to get a Zotac geforce gtx 760 to work in my Ideacentre K410. I am meeting all the stated requirements (power, cpu frequency, RAM, disk space). The power supply and Graphics card work in another machine, but in the Ideacentre K410, it will not get to BIOS during boot., when this graphics card is attached. I have been in contact with Zotac, have been through the tests they suggest, and in the end they suggest I try the motherboard / BIOS supplier.
Any Ideas ? I have already tried :
reseating RAM, testing RAM, reseating CPU with thermal paste, hoovering out dust (both sides of motherboard), reset CMOS, BIOS (Video Setup : Auto or PEG).
Any ideas of how to get this graphics card to work or am I asking for something that is not possible.
I have looked in the Hardware Maintenance Manual, and seen the list of graphics cards. But I am hoping to find a better one than those listed.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Using a free download of Windows 8.1 RTM, I installed on an empty disk, it created a GPT Boot partition with two boot loaders. After this 8.1 was installed, if I added the Zotac GTX 760, the machine was not able to boot to BIOS, but would eventually boot to window 8.1.
The machine was sold to me with WIndows 7.
I don't know whether I can configure the boot loader on the Win 8.1 disk to launch the Windows 7 on the original disk. or whether Windows 7 will recognise the graphics card.
Good Luck to anyone else !

GTX 970 GAMING 4G Hybrid Bios

Hello I wanted to know if the card GTX 970 4GB Gaming has installed a series of hybrid Bios (Legacy and UEFI-GOP), and then if I have a Z97 motherboard Xpower AC and windows 8.1 installed can activate the Fast Boot.
Thanks for the info.

All current GTX9xx cards do come with a hybrid vbios. So there will be no problem using Fast Boot.

GTX 970 not working the way it should.

Hello, I bought a msi gtx 970 yesterday but it is not working good. I can not even play league of legends without stuttering. When I play on maximum settings it says 60 fps, but in fact it is stuttering. The memory clock keeps shooting up to 3506 and than goes down again, this keeps happening. When I had call of duty advanced warfare open for 10 minutes, not even being in a game, the gpu usage is 98% and the memory use is extremely high, while nothing is happening on the screen, just some menus.
All drivers are downloaded and previous drivers from my old video card are removed.
These are my pc specs.
i5 760 @ 2,8 GHz
msi gtx 970
8gb DDR3 RAM
Asustek V-P7H55E motherboard
Windows 8.1 64 bit
Hope someone can help me out.

My current 780Ti is getting bottleneck by the CPU I have.. so even worse would be if I'd have 970 or 980..
That's because yours is the T version. It's not even nearly as good as the normal 4670 or K version.
Actually, it the lowest of the versions. Even S version would be better.
With normal 4670 and 4670K you wouldn't be getting bottleneck.
Quote from: lucas-1996 on 09-February-15, 22:07:05
I have one more question. I cant really decide if I shall get the i5-4690k for my new motherboard or the i7-4790k. Is the i7 worth the 100 euro extra? I dont do things like photoshop, maybe a bit of streaming though.
What kind of cooling you have currently, or are you using stock cooler?
If you don't have sufficient cooler or are running stock cooler, you will need to invest on better cooling.
In which case, get the i5 4670K and buy a new, better cooler with that 100$.
I would recommend at least Hydro H80i if you have a free 120mm fan slot in the case.
If not, get the BeQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 or similar.
