H81M E34 Motherboard

Hello everyone, can someone please help me, I've installed an extra hard drive into the PC so basically this is the setup, I had a 1 TB partitioned hard drive installed already and the PC was running brilliant until I needed more space and installed an extra 1TB hard drive, (both SATA) my motherboard is an [MSI H81M-E34] when I opened the case to install the extra hard drive  I put the power cable in and connected the other cable to sata 3. Then I started the PC, formatted the hard drive and everything was fine except when moving files over to the new hard drive they would move at around 120mbps for a about 3 seconds then slow down to between 12kbps  and 30kbps. I then have to cancel the operation. The motherboard has sata 1 and 2  and sata 3 and 4. The other hard drive is in sata 1, the disk drive was in sata 2 so I swapped and put the new hard drive in sata 2 and the disk drive into sata 3. The disk drive still works fine. Nothing had changed with the hard drives, still slow. So I then reformatted the new hard drive and converted it to logical, now even slower and also slow copying from my documents to desktop on the same drive. The PC is only 6 weeks old so everything still like new, the other hard drive came from my old PC but it was in perfect working condition before I put it in new PC. I've checked for any new drivers or updates but it says I have the latest drivers installed.  I've scanned both hard drives for errors and their fine. I've defragged and that went fine. Can someone please advise me on where I went wrong and how to correct it? Are the cables in the right place on the motherboard? Should I have converted the new hard drive to logical? And what should it be converted to? If I had any hair on my head id have pulled it out. I've tried to attach a picture of the drives and how they look right now but don't know how to attach it. I click on attach an image but it then put (image) in my text. Someone please help me.

You mean a surface scan? Was the scanning speed OK?
What if You copy a file from the new drive to the same drive?

  • New computer using H81M-P33 Motherboard

    I just put together a new computer with all new parts and this H81M-P33 motherboard is the motherboard I got for it. My problem is that there is no display coming from the computer.
    I'm using on-board graphics and I don't have a graphics card. I've tried using a VGA and a DVI, neither displayed anything.
    The processor is an Intel CORE i3-4130. and the power supply is a Corsair CX500.
    Everything is connected properly, and the computer turns on, but there just isn't any display. It doesn't go to anywhere I can even go into the BIOS.
    Any help is much appreciated and just ask if there's any other info you need from me.

    Dears,
    Perhaps this is due to issues with the 8 series chipsets and the Haswell Refresh CPUS. I found this thread in regards to your board, and am suffering from a very similar issue (no display after restart) on an H81M-E34 board.
    Try updating the bios as the person in the following post has tried.

  • MSI H81M E34 USB 3.0 problems

    Hi to all,
    I recently bought a MSI H81M E34.
    All seems to work ok with the usb but when i attach my external hard drive in the usb 3.0 ports the other ports stop to work.
    In the other three usb 3.0 ports I have always connected a usb wireless adaptor, speakers(they connect through usb) and a logitech camera.
    Any ideas?

    does the external hard drive work when you connect it? Or doesn't it work either?
    What model external HDD is it?

    Brand new box with 4th GEN I3 haswell and corsair vengeance memory that will only run 1600mhz with XMP enabled. In bios, I can view XMP settings but not enable...please advise.

    Yes, thanks for the suggestion - but the option is simply not available. I can view the modules XMP information, but there is no line or setting to enable it.

  • MSI H81M-E33 BIOS Issues and Post Flash Issues

    Hello,
    My situation is as follows: (TL:DR at bottom)
    Built a new computer and decided to use the new LGA 1150 refreshed CPUs. Bought the MSI H81M-E33 Motherboard and installed windows. Noticed a problem with the rebooting even when installing windows. Thought it was just because of the windows installation, but problem persisted in which the computer seems to shut down but doesn't power down and i have to manually hold power button to power down and then push it again to start up. No real issues it seems since the computer does close processes and shut down but this was irritating me. I read online that BIOS updates seem to fix this problem. Did some research and decided to update with M-Flash to bios v6.6.
    As I used M-flash to update to BIOS (selected "Select one file to update BIOS and ME") v6.6 the update stops at 47% and then the computer attempts to restart. BUT it still has the same problem and does not power down. So I manually powered down and started it back up. I then got "no signal" even as I waited. Now I'm freaking out and I power it down again and try again. This time I wait and it get to BIOS (MSI Screen) and then no signal again (not booting windows). Again I hold power down and power back on. Long wait again and I get back to bios. Still freaked out at this point but relieved I didn't brick motherboard.
    Decide to flash v6.5 in case 6.6 was too new and might some problems. However v6.5 has the same problems; bios update stops at 47%, computer attempts to reboot, can't reboot, I power off, power on, no signal, power off, power on, wait a while and it gets to BIOS (MSI Screen), then boots to windows.
    Right now the bios does read the bios version as v6.5 but I still have the issues in restarting where that doesn't really work. In addition, I now have this wait from pushing the power button to when I see BIOS (MSI Screen).
    TL:DR
    Had reboot problems decided to update BIOS
    Used M-flash ("Select one file to update BIOS and ME") to update to v6.6
    Update stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time nothing, freaked out, powered off, powered on, waited a while got to bios (Whew), checked for new version (it is).
    Decided v6.6 might be too new decided to try v6.5 used M-Flash again
    Again stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time, nothing, powered off powered on, waited a while got to bios, checked bios for new version (it is), save and exit, no signal, power off, power on, waited a while got to bios, then booted into windows
    My concerns are;
    I seem to still have reboot issue.
    I have to wait for BIOS now, no longer pretty quick start.
    My questions are;
    Did I mess up the flashing somewhere?
    Was stopping at 47% normal?
    Should I try to update the BIOS another method to fix my current problems?
    Am I missing a step somewhere?
    Any help is appreciated, I just got really freaked out by the whole process but I'm just glad the computer still works (kinda).
    Thanks in advance for any help, and apologies on the long essay just wanted to be as specific as possible.

  • H81M-P33 BIOS HELP PLEASE

    I was doing a light gaming build for a customer (Pentium G3258 20th Anniversary edition, MSI H81m-P33 motherboard, 8gb ram and a MSI Gaming R9 270x).
    When I went to overclock the board it wouldn't save settings so I updated the bios to the latest version + the intel management engine, it got to 100% after about 2 minuets like the last board I updated (I used this board for another customer and the update went okay) but when it rebooted it's now stuck on a black screen with only a _ showing in the top left corner.
    I tried running it with only 1 stick of ram in different slots, with only integrated graphics but it still doesn't come on.
    I can also reboot the computer by pressing ctrl, alt and delete at the same time but it just goes back to this screen
    Does anyone know a fix? I can send the board back under warranty but I'd rather get it fixed ASAP as the customer is very excited to get their new computer!

    Any activity on the USB flash drive?
    It had to update ME after the reboot, I assume that did not happen.
    Non of my usb's have an activity light :(

  • Internal Hard Drive not working.

    Hi, I have recently purchased a Seagate 1TB SSHD. I have plugged it into my computer, but it doesn't show up in the BIOS. However, it is recognised by Windows in Disk Management, but it says: 'Unknown, not Initialized.' Any idea of how I can fix this?
    I have a MSI H81M-E33 motherboard. 

    Hi JangusAFC,
    The BIOS at the hardware layer and Windows management information depend on the hardware present information, therefore you must did not found the hard disk option in correct
    menu. You can refer your hardware manual or ask your hardware vendor for the further help.

  • No life from newly built PC

    So I've installed the mobo, CPU and fan, RAM, and PSU. I've made sure the connections are correct and then I turn it on but nothing at all happens. Not even a fan or any LEDs. I am using a H81M-E33 motherboard, Intel Core i5-4440 CPU, 8 gigs (1 module) of DDR3 1600 MHz Kingston HyperX Fury RAM, and a 500W EVGA PSU (part # 100-W1-0500-KR). The case I am using is a Rosewill Redbone U3, which is an ATX mid-tower case. Here is a list of the things I have tried that have not worked that people have suggested:
    - Making sure the PSU switch is on
    - Switching the RESET BTN and PWR BTN connectors on the mobo and using both buttons to attempt turning it on.
    - Resetting CMOS memory by taking out CMOS battery and putting it back in after 10-15 mins
    - Making sure CPU fan is connected to CPU_FAN socket and not a SYS_FAN socket.
    - Making sure RAM is firmly seated in DIMM sockets
    - Leaving only the essentials connected (Remember, I currently only have the CPU, RAM, mobo, and PSU installed.)
    - Plugging in the PSU into the wall instead of a surge suppressor/protector
    These are the connections I have on the motherboard:
    1. The 20+4 pin power connector
    2. Another 4 pin connector
    3. 2 fans connected to sockets SYS_FAN1 and SYS_FAN2
    4. The Reset Button and PWR Button connectors (The PLED and HDD LED connectors aren't necessary, right?)
    5. Front panel USB 2.0 connector (My motherboard doesn't support 3.0)
    6. Speaker
    7. Some "HD Audio" connector
    Thank you for your help!   

    Quote from: flobelix on 29-December-14, 06:00:39
    Take the baord out of the case and place it on a non-conductive surface. Add basic components you listed and retry outside case. Make sure the ATX power connectors (20+4 and 4 pin) are properly seated.
    Thank you for your advice, I will look into this.

  • Windows 7 won't complete installation (2)

    Just received a new Asus M51AD-US001O RTL Desktop system, with a Asus H81M-E motherboard, 8GB DDR3, Windows 7 Home Prem 64-bit, which included a new Asus graphics card with DVI & HDMI ports, & a VGA port. I hooked up the monitor to the VGA port,
    pressed the power button.  Nothing Happened, Oh the system powered up (all fan etc) but no signal from computer. I ed then hooked a DVI/VGA adapter to the appropriate port,  Still no signal, nothing on the monitor. I powered off the system, removed
    the Asus graphics card, rehooked the monitor to the VGA port and powered up the system.  Wala it worked, well untill I received the boot problem screen, which asked if I wanted to boot normally or into safe mode.  I chose safe mode.  System
    started to move but an error screen appeared saying setup could not continue in safe mode, to restart to resume setup.  I hit the OK button to restart - Windows Setup Resuming, then another error appears: (Red Circle with a white X) "The computer
    restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error, Windows cannot proceed.  To install windows, click OK to restart the computer and then restart the installation".  This just cycles, I hit the OK button and the restarting/reinstallation
    begins and then the same error appears.  We're caught in a loop.  Any suggestions???
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Sounds like a hardware error, you can reset the BIOS to the default configuration, then check what’s the result.

  • Bent Pins - CPU socket -Warranty Issue

    Good day,
    I hope this forum and it's experts can shed some light on a problem we have.
    The situation:
    We bought a Socket 1150 H81M-P32L Motherboard with power supply and CPU (with heat-sink & fan), the previous board died.
    We installed the CPU, then the motherboard and power supply, tested all,ok.
    The PC ran fir two days, no problem. Upon the 3rd day the PC was down, tried restarting but no power.
    Investigated, tested the power supply-ok, the board was dead, no lights on board, no posting, dead, like a doornail.
    We removed the board as is and took it to the supplier, they tested, still dead, removed the CPU and said there was bent pins on the CPU socket and they will not replace under warranty, and this is where the problem comes in.
    Maybe the experts can tell me if:
    The pins was bent from the getgo, will/could it have worked for two days?
    The pins is bent will it cause the board to be completely dead?
    (-see attached photos)
    Please enlighted us with your thoughts and expert advice

    Un-hid your attachments so everyone can see them now.
    Is it possible? Sure, I would definitely say that it is possible.
    Is it likely to happen? No, I would say it generally is not likely to happen.
    The CPU sockets are very fragile now. And those pins can very easily become bent. I would wager that installing the CPU is probably the most important part of building a PC anymore.
    That being said, there probably isn't a whole lot that you can do about it. You could try and do an RMA with MSI, but I'm honestly not sure how well that will go.

  • Flashing BIOS without a compatible CPU

    Hi there,
    I have no idea where to find an answer for this as I've seen all sorts of conflicting information out there. I want to know, if I get an H81M-P33 motherboard and a g3258, will I need to use a compatible older-gen CPU to update the BIOS and make the board compatible with the g3258, or can I use MFlash or the forum BIOS flashing utility to update the BIOS from a USB with no compatible CPU installed? Also, as a side note, I noticed in another thread someone was saying that Intel released firmware in August that would make it difficult or impossible to overclock the G3258 on non-Z series motherboards. I did also see that Tom's Hardware article where they successfully used the H81M-P33 to overclock it back in July when it was released. Am I running a large risk of it not working even after I update to the latest BIOS, or is it still possible?
    Thanks for your help, I really hope I've posted in the right place.

    Okay, thank you very much! Most of the threads I found when searching were from really long ago on all these different sites, so I wasn't sure if something had changed. I appreciate your quick response and I'll look into it further before I make a purchase.

  • MSI Command center, was working, now crashes

    Hi, I've been running Command Center version 1.0.0.50, and it's been working just fine, suddenly since yesterday it's been crashing shortly after loading, also the CPU always reads as max speed(3.7ghz) and doesn't move from there, whereas before, it was reading the correct frequency, I've tried uninstalling, and reinstalling from my driver cd, and it doesn't fix the issue, I've also tried version 1.0.0.68 from the website, and it's doing the same thing.
    Also, just to note, other CPU frequency monitoring programs (CPU-Z for instance) are reading the frequency correctly, so I don't think it's a hardware issue.
    Additionally, my Avast A/V has suddenly decided that the "msiwmiservice.exe" file from the 1.0.0.50 version is a rootkit(I've verified that it's a false positive), but I can no longer run the 1.0.0.50 version at all without disabling Avast, because every time I install it from the disk, it immediately throws the offending file into the anti-virus chest. This doesn't happen with 1.0.0.68, as it doesn't contain the offending file, but it still crashes the same.
    Also, note that Avast and Command Center had been living together just fine for a couple weeks, right up until yesterday..... weird huh?
    I'd like to be able to run command center for its hardware monitoring...... can anyone help me sort this out?
    My system specs are
    MSI H81M-E33 motherboard - BIOS version V6.4B3
    Intel I5-4590 CPU

    Try this one 0.69 Beta 2:
    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/40094917/Command%20Center%201.0.0.69beta2.zip
    before install it, deinstall the old one, then manually delete Command Center folder.
    Then install the new one 0.69 Beta 2
    after install and run it, when the loading error issue hapends,
    go to local disk C in MSI folder, ie: C:\MSI
    then locate a file named “MSILoading” and send it back. [upload it somewhere and give a link to it]

  • MSI H81M-P33 Cpu Fan Speed Problem! Urgent

    Hi. Bought a H81M-P33 board and got a problem.
    I can´t increase my CPU fan Speed to maxium RPM . Tried to use Command Center and Board Bios without any sucess.
    This leads to my cpu (i5 4670) getting hot with stock cooler. When I´m encoding a video it reaches 85º. The best solution I had was to connect CPU Fan to Chassis Fan slot on the motherboard and it increased speed, but still it doesn´t increase past a certain value.
    What can I do to solve this problem? Tried everything without any luck. The board doesn´t handle CPU fan speed + temperatura increase well. Is not normal to have a CPU stock volts getting hot.
    Thanks

    I know that for sure XFM. The thing is that the board isn´t increasing CPU fan speed as it should. Ofc a better cooler would do the job, but even with stock cooler it can be cooler. The problem is that the fan is always in slow mode :|

  • H81M-P33 no 4670k OC possible

    I bought PC and the H81M-P33 is the board included.
    CPU is Intel 4670K, so I tried to see how fast can this top i5 cpu can run...
    At first it looked cool, OC letters all over bios and web page...man that was so misleading.
    BIOS on board was 7817v12.
    First I tried OC Genie 4: Overclock in 1 Second...what a joke...OC nowhere in sight, and even manual OC was disabled...1600 MHz RAM was downclocked to 1333 MHz...
    So I disabled OC genie to be able to try to OC (is this an oxymoron???).
    Amazing it virtually allowed me to OC CPU and set RAM to 1600 MHz.
    So f10 reboot and voila OC was just virtual.
    Frustrated...I downloaded new version of bios 7817v13, flashed it and even more of MSI humor was revealed...now OC was disabled totally.
    I am aware that this is low cost board, but misleading is misleading, thank you MSI.

    If you need to blame someone:
    http://ark.intel.com/products/75016/Intel-DH82H81-PCH
    Supports Overclocking : No
    6 months ago Intel started to force all the motherboard manufacturers to update the BIOS code in order to block the OC on H81, B85 & H87 chipsets.
    So if you want to overclock, you need a Z87 chipset.
