Lots of freezes, Z87-GD65

I get a lot of system freezes with my Z87-GD65 box. Sometimes it will be less than an hour between freezes, other times it can go a few hours.
During a freeze, the sound starts stuttering, creating that nasty fart noise. Screen freezes. CPU fan sounds like it's ramping up. Keyboard dead.
The freezes seem to be random-- firing up deliberately intensive stuff like FurMark or Prime95 won't force it; you'll just be doing nothing hugely intensive and it freezes hard.
When I first installed, a few times I got conventional BSODs. One in win32k.sys, one in the nVidia drivers, and one in DirectX. Also, I got a few crash-to-desktop on games (Uncharted Waters Online) Now the failure mode is pretty much always a freeze.
Once, I let it sit for 30 seconds or so, and it made a sound like it was powering down and rebooted.
Other times, if I press "reset" while frozen, it seems to respond by powering down and then back up. A conventional reset-button press does not respond this way-- just immediate reset.
BIOS version 1.B, updated from 1.8 it shipped with
CPU: 4790K at stock; cooler is a CoolerMaster Seidon 120M
GPU: MSI GTX770, 2Gb version
Memory: 4x4Gb, Corsair Venegance range, DDR3-1600, clocks 9-9-9. They're a pretty old set, which only has SPD timings for 1333, but XMP timings for 1600, so I enable XMP timings.
Drives: Crucial M550 512Gb, Corsair Neutron GTX 240Gb, Samsung HD103UJ 1Tb spinning-rust, LG BD-RE, Samsung DVD-RW. All ordinary SATA kit.
PSU: Seasonic 660W Platinum-rated
Sundry: Hauppauge HVR-1250 TV tuner in the topmost PCI-E slot
The entire supporting cast worked fine with a FX-8350 and a 990FXA-GD80v2.
The only non-conventional BIOS settings I use are turning on C1E support and enabling the XMP timings (and manually setting the memory speed selection to 1600)
Things I've tried:
* Remove the latest official nVidia drivers, reverting to those installed with Windows (early 340 series, I think).
* Force PCI-E 2.0 mode on the slot containing the GPU. This was a reccomendation from another user who had issues with a recent nVidia card on a Z87 board. It worked for about two hours, then another freeze.
* Next, I've tried uninstalling the "default" sound drivers-- the ones obtained from Realtek's site. I'm currently on the default "High definition audio device" drivers. I noticed, unusually, the drivers on the MSI site are actually more recent than the v2.75 release on Realtek's own site, so I'm trying them. Audio is via S/PDIF Optical Out to a reciever.

its memory for sure

use Stock settings.
test each one of the memory sticks individually with >>Memtest86<<
are you using 2x different memory kits?
can you list the exact memory model details?

MSI Z87-GD65, Freezing while gaming, then reboot loop/bsod/total failure.

Hey fellow MSI'ers
Im hoping to find a solution for my problem i have been getting. I build a custom gaming rig a few months ago (specs below)
Sinds a couple of days iv been getting wierd problems, System runs fine, i can do everything watch movies do work stuff. But when i start gaming it will work great for about 15-30 minutes, then i hear a click/beep thru the sound system, and a total pc freeze, screen freezes nothing works.
So i hit the reboot, then the system decides to turn itself off and get into a reboot loop, turning on for few seconds then turning off again for a few back on for a few, etc etc.
Only way i can get it running is pull the power, make sure the Motherboard has no charge left, then wait a bit and replug the power. Most times it will boot up fine and story starts at part 1 again.
First off i thought it would be temperature, tho im running a almoost ull watercooled system, (Ramm + cpu + video) and i put up temp controlls on my seconds screen, and they never got above 35, on any of the components.
Now seeing my build it is extreemley hard to quickly test a diffirent component, been running memtest with no problems, But when i do graphx/cpu stresstest/benchmark i get the same issue.
As i stated before it has been running perfectly for few months.
I read that PSU might be a problem, compatability wise with Haswell, tho then it wouldnt have worked for so long and just now giving these strange problems.
What i tryéd so far:
-Reinstall windows
-Flash bios
-clear bios
-unplug as much as possible
-diffirent ramm
-Running with or without crossfire enabled.
All same problems, i hope somebody has a idea without having to pull apart my custom build.
Specs:
-Cooler Master HAF XB
-Intel Haswell 4770k
-MSI Z87-GD65
-2x Asus 7970 in Crossfire.
-Corsair Dominator GT 2x4gb
-Corsair ForceGT 128GB SSD
-Antec TruePower 1200
-2x 512gb Seagate MomentusXT

Hi again,
Quote from: robinvanesch on 03-October-13, 04:33:35
UPDATE: Been running bencharmks/stresstest from onboard graphix, both cards disconnected. (lots of towels to be sure) and runs without problems, tho reallo low fps but thats expected.
Going to see if i can run 1 card at a time, see if i can cause the problem to happen again.
So did you agtually try it?
Yep, bleeding is nice job and dooing it right on all steps is needed so yeah great, but if your CPU can handel the stress and you have tested the PSU then i cant see other way.
Tip: take the hard loop,pipe, bridge(betwean the blocks away and add two 90angle fittings with long tobe, so you can rest each card away the pc 1 at time that way you dont need to bleed the system bitwean.
(allso rest of the toops needs to be so long that it can be far away...)
And yes you need reg edit your SATA drivers like xmad sayd, if you like to change IDE to RAID.
P.s. nice build! Hope you get it working
Edit: You dont need to insert that PSU in the case, just connect wires whrere they need to be, at the momen for testing.
Edit2: My current needs little service and update( add backplate, water change, delid cpu and moving GPU to bottom slot).
Edit3: Wait that one 120mm low Rad keeps your sytem 32c??? Damn you have great chips, cold house or software issue. need for delid main is the heat i dont like and i have hmm 10 times that space to get heat off :D

MSI Z87 GD65 Crashing/Freezing/No Monitor Signal

So the other night I was playing WoW for a few hours... When I woke back up and turned my computer on it booted up... The fans kicked on/keyboard and mouse lite up and the screen said no signal. I shut it down pulled the power for awhile then booted back up. Then booted it back up and everything was fine when I opened wow and logged in 2 second later the computer rebooted it self. When rebooting the computer the screen said lost signal to the monitor again and the only way to get that back on is by pulling the power cable.... It would also freeze time to time....Now the computer wont even show the screen... What is faulty? MB/Graphics card? Im using MSI Z87 GD65 MB and the MSI 770 Twin Forzr 2gb.
Things I tried
Reformatting
Resitting Graphics Card/Ram
Switching Graphics Card on a different slot
Different driver
Canned air for cleaning

I tried clearing the CMOS, the graphics card fans are running but not sending signal to the monitor, I took it out and using on board... that works fine... Im trying to figure whats the problem is before I go purchase the new part.

Z87-GD65 + i7-4790K + BIOS 1.B and reset freeze

Hello,
after looking for a few days for a solution to my problem which is reset freeze this is my last resort.
Recently upgraded CPU from 4770K to 4790K on MSI Z87-GD65 and I'm getting reset freeze.
Screen goes black (no signal), fans are spinning and system stays in this state.
People say to update BIOS to 1.B (1.11) which is latest one but this did not solve the problem.
After restoring default settings in BIOS system reset correctly once and then it hangs again.
It doesn't matter if the reset is from windows or linux of from BIOS after saving changes.
I was flashing BIOS from BIOS menu using M-FLASH and pendrive.
Any suggestion are appreciated.

Thx for reply, my rig now is

It worked fine on previous CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4770K Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz)
and I can't test it anymore because I sold it.
Clearing CMOS didnt help.
CPU is seated correctly I made sure of that and pins are straight, I'm very careful with that.

Z87-GD65 USB and ATA/ATAPI Bridge Issues

I just installed a new Z87-GD65 into a Silverstone HTPC case and I'm having weird issues with all USB 3.0 ports. This problem occurs on both a Windows 10 technical preview install and a Windows 8.1 install. Everything is updated including the BIOS and, as far as I can tell, installed properly. I used Live Update 6 to verify the integrity of the motherboard drivers and BIOS version. I also double checked the build for any potential shorts or incorrectly plugged in devices and everything seems to check out.
Basically, what seems to be happening, is the computer is constantly losing connection with the USB 3 ports and is re-"scanning" to gain connection again. This makes all the USB 3 ports useless for any media or storage device and is extremely annoying when used with a mouse and keyboard. This "re-scanning" if that is what it is, is also causing all the i/o ports to freeze for a second or two so if I let's say, double click on a folder and this "scan" occurs, it takes a few seconds for the the folder to open. I also notice that a storage device plugged into any USB 2.0 port is more sluggish than usual and there is an overall delay in all mouse/keyboard input. This is a new motherboard and a new build although I have used all this external equipment and some internal with another computer with no issues at all.
System Specs:
PSU: 850w Coolermaster with front panel fan control
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65
CPU: Intel i5 4670k
Video Card: MSI GTX 770
RAM: 16GB of G-Skill Sniper series memory
Storage/Media:
128GB Samsung SSD (OS)
2x128Gb Crucial SSD Raid 0 (Games)
1TB Western Digital black (general programs)
2x2TB Western Digital Green (storage)
I also have a Medisonic 4-bay USB 3.0 enclosure with 3x2TB drives and one 3TB drive.
If this is a Windows issue I'll re-install Windows 7 but if this is a hardware/driver issue I'd like to know how to fix it if possible as I can't return or exchange the board.

Everything works, or is at least detected, fine in BIOS. I already messed with the hand off settings and no dice.
I got tired of dealing with it so I formatted an installed Win 7 unfortunately the problem is still there. It's much less pronounced so I can actually use the computer without the weird freezing and stuttering issues but any time I try to transfer and or unzip any large file windows will lose connection and I'll get a "USB device has Malfunctioned" error. This does not happen on my other PC, unfortunately I need the hard drive bay on this PC.

Checking ram that works with MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Intel Z87 Motherbo

Was wondering if Vengeance pro series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 DRAM 2400MHz C10 Memory Kit (CMY16GX3M2A2400C10R) will work good on MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Intel Z87 Motherboard or if im gonna need to do some tweeking.

Since in the components purchasing stage for the project, a few tips for you. Check with the PSU manufacturer to make sure it is Haswell compliant. I like single rail +12V PSU's made by Corsair, but there are other good ones out there too. OS is also important. I prefer Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, but if you go with Win 8 or 7, some GTX 780 issues may arise. GOP, VBIOS, mainboard updated to the very newest UEFI/BIOS etc. can be involved. UEFI/BIOS update is a good place to start if the graphics card gives you trouble. Research as much as you can prior to the build. Advance planning helps a lot on what to possibly expect.
Here is the thread for UEFI/BIOS's;

MSi z87-gd65 OC Genie and RAM frequency issues

Hey all,
I just built a new computer (my first build), and am quite glad with the capabilities of the machine. However, whenever I try to turn on OC Genie or bump up my ram speed to 2400 MHz(I believe this is the native speed, but the motherboard puts it down to 1333MHz) the system fails to boot, and sometimes hangs in a rebooting cycle. Eventually, the motherboard gives an error on the screen saying that the changes made have failed and was restored to default settings, and to press f1 or f2.
I admit I am a complete novice at overclocking, and probably do not know what I did wrong. I've updated the bios, cleared cmos, and tried both bios A and B, but have got the same results. I was hoping I could get some help on this forum and learn new workarounds! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Quote from: phantom24 on 19-October-13, 08:56:19
Hey man, thanks for replying. The first thing I tried, before overclocking, was to enable XMP from the UFEI. When i enabled it, the board would show that memory was OC'd to 2400MHz and bumped up to 1.65 voltage. This is all shown prior to rebooting. When I would reboot the computer however, the system would fail to boot and I would get the same error saying all "overclocking failed, reset to default settings". I believe that my ram is the cause for my inability to overclock. I found out that motherboard is not compatible with it at extreme speeds. The max speed I can get out of my ram is 2133MHz with no problem whatsoever in rebooting. This is without changing the voltage of the ram( keeping it at 1.5v) . If I change the ram voltage, I'm pretty sure it would fail to boot.
Yeah good luck with OCing and please let me know if you find anything useful. I'm afraid that this forum does not have much to offer, so you may want to try some other forums.
Jms and Xfx are right. By default mine booted to at 1600mhz. I enabled XMP and it brought it to the rated speed of 2133mhz. I'm not trying to overclock my ram further than the rated speed. Pointless to me, considering I'm coming from a rig that had ddr2 with 800mhz. As you can see in my pic, the one with blue LEDs is the 7.5 year old build. Still going strong. Anyhow, if you do overclock, make sure you disable the XMP. That way you can eliminate another possible instability issue. I'm a member of a few forums, and I was suprised to see these forums not respond very well. For the guys who did respond, I thank you! You may also want to check out overclock.net There's are plenty of people there and "clubs" you can be a part of. I'm finding a lot of useful information there. Most people won't get mad about noob questions unless you do like me and ask the same ones in multiple threads lol! Hop on over there and check it out. My name there is Scotty Mac.

Z87-GD65 possible problem

Alright, so I've been posting on some forums with this problem but idk why it never occurred to me to put it on here..considering I do have an MSI board. I've been having freezing problems with my new pc build lately, the build is...
Intel i5 4670k(stock cooler)
MSI Z87-GD65
EVGA Nvidia GTX 660
Samsung 840 EVO 350 GB SSD
Crucial Ballistix 2x4gb 1600 ram
Corsair CX750M
Corsair Carbide 200r case
Now I've ruled out the video card, the RAM, and the SSD through testing. So the only possibility is problems with the motherboard, processor, or PSU. Now the computer seems to randomly freeze, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes an hour or so, sometimes I'm gaming sometimes it's just downloading a game. I've had a few ppl suggest overheating and that the heatsink may not be properly mounted on, but as far as I can tell it is and the cpu temps aren't going above 55 during gaming, and idle around 37. I realize the stock cooler isn't going to cut it for long so I do have a plan for water cooling that I'm getting within the next week or so. So I guess if heat is the issue than that should fix it, but I have a feeling it may be the mobo, or maybe I haven't set something properly(although I've checked over that a few times and everything seems to be set properly, nothing is overclocked). Now earlier I pulled a stick of RAM out and was running on one stick, and it seemed to be working but I didn't have more than an hour so I can't say with 100% certainty that it solved the problem or maybe it was just taking a bit longer to freeze than usual. So maybe it has something to do with a bad DIMM slot? because I got replacment ram and it's still freezing and I have a hard time believing I got 4 bad sticks of RAM in a row. So if this is sounding familiar to anyone and knows anything about this problem I would really appreciate some input.

I have the same problem . Random shutdowns . I test all the components in others PC and all are OK. I test with G-Skill Ram, Corsair Ram, OCZ ram. Anyone have any idea?

Z87-gd65 --USB Headet not working and cant bios

Ok, i have a z87-gd65 and my usb headset will not work at all in SLI. I take one card out, it then seems to work..sumtime, must take it in and out everytime i restart PC and hopes it works.
After some research I seem to need 1.4 or higher beta bios to solve this problem however after following your guides to the letter the board refuses to update bios. When you click the file through MFlash the system just freezes. Im worry even it 1.4 or higher bios come out of beta and are standard I will still not be able to update the bios and i'll be still in my first predicament...no usb sound working.
Please help...or should i just RMA the board??

USB stick bootable? If not, use the forum tool 'Fix My USB Key' option first. USB stick formatted FAT32? Follow the instructions in the link.

Msi Z87-GD65 Booting Failure With eSATA Drives

Hi Folks,
Before I go down the (probably ill-fated) Customer Service path I thought I'd address the forum here on a little problem I'm having with my Z87-GD65.
IN essence, if I have a hard drive connected to my eSATA port the PC won't boot. I'm using an ICYDOCK 4 bay external enclosure (MB561US-4SB if interested). If the drive itself is on but the HD trays are ejected then it boots. If any of the drives are secured then it'll hang at a post-BIOS/pre-Windows screen where all I get is a blinking cursor for about 30 seconds and then it disappears to a plain black screen. If the device is powered off then it boots.
I've checked the BIOS with one of the HDs running and it doesn't appear within my boot list - in fact, except for one selection in the bios allowing me to disable eSATA there really isn't much I can do there.
I've upgraded my BIOS to 1.30 from 1.00 and the process seems to move a bit further - now I get the oh-so-pretty ugly Windows logo and that's all.
When I do actually boot the PC with the ICYDOCK off then I'm able to get into Windows normally, and turn on the ICYDOCK. After a few seconds all 4 hard drives report in and everything's fine.
I've been using this ICYDOCK for about a year and a half, with 2 other motherboards (neither were an MSI) and i7 cores, and neither of them caused me any issues. I remember that neither of those boards had the port multiplier eSATA capability so I had to buy a controller card with that capability. I could probably dig that up and see if the problem remains.
In case you're wondering, if it helps, I built a Msi Z87-GD65/4770 i7 - based PC with 2 internal 2TB Hard Drives, and 16gb RAM. I already mentioned the ICYDOCK. I used LiveUpdate to install all the latest drivers & BIOS before uninstalling it.
I build & repair PCs for a living so I'm pretty familiar with what's going on with the system. I figure that there must be something happening between the BIOS and Windows "handoff" of the ICYDOCK, but I'm damned if I can figure out just what.

More information please. PSU, OS being used, etc..
Live Update is best uninstalled. Flash UEFI/BIOS the safer way;

Z87-GD65 Enable "Windows 8/8.1 Feature" = Won't boot, Disabled = Boots up

How do I enable Windows 8/8.1 Feature in the Z87-GD65 Settings? When I turn it on, Windows 8.1 no longer will boot. (see video below of what happens) Is this because I didn't have it enabled BEFORE I installed Windows? If so can I fix this without a re-install? My C: is a 120GB SSD. I have about 12 other 3TB Hard Drives installed as well with 2 secondary SATA cards installed.

Quote from: pandaz on 02-April-14, 13:46:01
I got the same problem before and after doing some research, I found out the ff. Info:
When set the Windows 8/8.1 Feature to Enabled then the system could only boot to Windows if your windows is installed using UEFI mode.
If you didn't install Win8 in UEFI mode then you will need to reinstall your Win 8.1 using UEFI mode.
The SSD drive was originally in a Zotac ZBOX ID84 mini-PC. I turned the zbox UEFI mode on before the install was done.
I transplanted the SSD drive into the new Z87-GD65 based computer. Windows 8.1 booted right up (only after a firmware update)
So technically yes, UEFI mode was enabled, but was a different computer. (but then again maybe it wasn't?)
Will the computer boot faster if I reinstall from scratch with Windows 8/8.1 Feature enabled? What else works better/faster with this feature enabled? (more stable etc?)
Basically, is it worth the hassle of starting fresh? I have a very complicated home server/media center combination setup.

Z87-GD65 wont boot from any drive, please help!

I desperately need your help on this issue. And thanks in advance for any answer!
I have a brand new Z87-GD65 Mainboard.
When I select my boot device in BIOS all I get is: "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
In BIOS I can find all my hardware (CPU, Drives, HDDs, DVD,... RAM) everything is shown correctly. Nothing missing there, all parts shown by correct values.
I cant boot through my DVD Drive or external USB Drive (on both I have Windows 7 which I want to install on my new system). The Windows DVD is also working properly, I checked it on my old PC.
No matter what Boot priority/device I choose (I think Ive tried them all by now) "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" is what I get after "save & reboot".
My BIOS Version is E7845IMS V1.8.
Any suggestions, what am I missing?
thank you very much for any help!

Ok, thanks for your help, I found the problem!
It was my DVD Rom Drive that could not read the DVD!!!!
What I Still dont understand is that it also didnt boot from a bootable HD through USB.
thanks for your help!
Glad you got it working....probably the controller got confused from the faulty DVD rom....

Z87-gd65 Troubles

Hi guys, I'm new here but would like a big help.
Spent a week putting my new build together and installed win8.1 on it, all OK, but no ethernet /lan working. Nothing will work as regards installing drivers from CD, nor updated ones from site.
If I run the killer app it says no compatible hardware etc, tried 32bit also, although I'm on 64bit. Tried searching CD etc, but it just says no drivers found?
I can't get anywhere with this board atm without a connection. Plugged it into my second system and net is working fine, so no problems with that side of things,
Any help appreciated folks.
Regards,

Hell of a time I'm having with this board, never since the days of the old pentium setup's, have I had such an agonising journey.
Decided to install ordinary Windows 8 to see if that fixes the problem, but it throws up another, it won't install as my SSD drive is not detected and requires drivers for installation? Windows 8.1 never required this, and happily installed just fine, albeit with no Ethernet connection.
So we have hit another brick wall yet again. Going to pick up a cheap network card tomorrow and give that a shot along with Windows 8.1 again.
If windows 8.1 can see it i dont see why it can be seen on windows 8, maybe it has a bug with windows 8 that you need to upgrade its firmware, some manufacturers released firmwre when windows 8 was released. Personally i will not touch windows 8, im fine with 7 till 9 comes, btw i have no issues with Z87-GD65.
Quote from: scaramonga on 27-September-13, 08:49:27
Out of interest, do the onboard fan headers allow 3 pin fans to be controlled in BIOS, or is that something else I gotta buy to get working properly?
To what i know, i dont think you can control 3pin on bios, only 4pin PWM on the CPU_FAN1 and CPU_FAN2 headers (both are controllable independently)

Z87-GD65 fails to boot when I enable X.M.P.

Guys, Looking for any advise out there. I have two systems with new Z87-GD65 with an Intel 4770K and 16GB ADATA RAM and one of the systems fails to boot whenever I enable X.M.P. I've switched out the RAM from one system to the other and everything is fine on one and same thing on the other. I've tried clearing out the CMOS and booting from both sets of bios. I have OC turned off. Everything is fine until I enable X.M.P. I'm at a loss any ideas?
Thanks,
Frank

Z87-GD65 won't Overclock

Got My Z87-GD65 back from RMA.When i try to set my 4770k to 4.2ghz in bios its reverts to 39 only.I have flash to latest bios and still same thing.It wont let me overclock at all.I switched to bios B,and still locked at 3.9ghz.Even OC Genie won't overclock it.Did i get a worst board than the one i RMA'd.The one i sent in had a bricked bios A,but B still worked.Even my ram i set the xmp profile to 2400,but only does 1600.
