MOVED: Z97 Gaming 5 - Updated drivers with MSI live update, crashed - nothing works

sounds like along with drivers, you also flashed your BIOS and this failed and caused this issue

I tried to put the MSI Z97 BIOS on a flash drive and reboot with that, but nothing happens. There are no beeps, just the harddrives booting up and then nothing more..
place your old BIOS version on the USB key not renamed and place the USB key in rear USB ports
then see if BIOS can be recovered
else you have to RMA it as there is no dual BIOS solution on it

  • MOVED: Z97 Gaming 7 won't post. debug LEDs at 41-43. MSI LED is off.

    I'm using a Corsair CS650m.
    I've noticed the CPU support issue after I encountered my problem and was surprised to see this, my understanding that the gaming boards did support the new Haswells, at least with a recent BIOS. In fact, there are some references online to BIOS update issues for this CPU.
    Let me ask a crazy question: Is it possible that I've somehow POSTed correctly and what I'm seeing now is the CPU term? I'm wondering because the numbers (42-44) fluctuate a bit.  I know that POST and POST2 can be used for CPU temp, but I'm not sure how one distinguishes between that and a debug code.

    have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed?
    can you list full system specs see >>Posting Guide<<
    about bios recovery, boot with working bios, and go to bios setup, then select m-flash, switch your bios chips

    To Kuba..
    1. Could you state clearly what is the original boot sequence of your HDD shown in the bios?
    you mentioned that after you reset from Windows or from DOS then the sequence will changed??   how often will this symptoms happened.
    2. If you only use the Intel SSD 520 + the Normal HDD (remove DVD and the Samsung SSD) , will you see the boot sequence lost issue?
    3. What do you mean by the below??  you can't flash bios 1.5 in DOS mode???  please help explain in details
    BIOS 1.5 from the support site (no matter eu or global) won't run on Windows 8.1. the file downloaded by msi live update runs normally. Can somebody help and share BIOS 1.5 installer?
    Regards
    Orginal boot sequence:
    1: SSD Intel 520 (system)
    2: SSD Samsung 840
    3: HDD
    Mobo was traing to set Samsung at first place, but after disconnecting this drive, it put HDD on fist place. So i disconnected all other drives, and mobo shows only question marks in Intel SSD field.
    I never had any problems with this intel SSD, it works perfect, samsung behaves the same way, it disappears randomly.
    Sometimes all works correct, some times some drive is missing, it does not matter the restart is made on windows, dos, or on bios. Totally random.
    When i switch to second bios (1.3) all works fine, only on 1.6 freaking out.
    When i what start bios package from msi-support site windows shows "this app. can't be run on this system", thats all (there are 3 files i archive). File downloaded by msi-update starts normally (and this is only one exe file), unzip and run dos-mode update.  Unfortunately, I removed the file with 1.5 downloaded by msi live update.
    Maybe the bios package is dedicated to installing from usb-drive through m-flash ?
    And on the windows can update only through msi-live update? I really do not know, I'm confused.

    Hi
    Try single RAM stick
    Also try to boot when motherboard is on non conductive surface like wooden table or motherboard box
    Try clearing CMOS with power cord removed >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    Maybe battery replacement will help
    If above fails, disconnect everything, remove CPU and inspect CPU socket with magnifying glass and bright light.
    Edit: with single RAM stick, make sure to test each RAM stick at the time, each time in different slot.

  • MOVED: Z97 Gaming 5 - SATA not present??

    The thing is: cheap PSU that you've used in old build is most likely not support Haswell (Refresh) so that might be causing different issues too. And personally: yes I will defend it til the death. Cheap PSU can kill anything instantly, and the fact it works with old system... well. It's OLD system and so is PSU.
    Also you're mixing RAM. This motherboard will work perfectly with either 1, 2 or 4 RAM sticks, never 3.
    I think you should speak to the reseller OR MSI, since you think that motherboard killed all the drives (I wonder how... mobo is connected to them only through SATA cables which deliver NO power to them)..

  • MSI Z97 Gaming 9 ACK problem with wifi (lag spike)

    hi all,

    so why with killer 1525 on desktop i got this lag spike? its very bad.

    I'd be more for RMA'ing the board.
    But personally, I'm staying away from Killer Network products from now on. They are buggy and do not work very well when they don't work. Sometimes they don't work at all. Check back through these forums, and one of the biggest issues with any of the boards and/or laptops is always the Killer Networks NIC's. And there is no simple and easy fix for many of the issues.
    If it was me, I'd buy a nice wireless card and use that instead. Or do the Intel mod you posted about.
    I won't say that the Killer Networks device SHOULD work, but time and time again they prove to not work. In that case, I'd replace it with something that will and move on. A $40 wireless card to not spend days or weeks trying to fix the problem is money well spent in my opinion.
    now im going with powerlink and all went good, but as all know, powerlink after 2 years will broke and need to replace..... but online game with eth is always better.
    So im tihink to resend to AMAZON and ask for refund and ill rebuy a gaming 7 without wifi this change refund me a good 100 euro......

  • MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC - Intel Wireless AC 7260 module don't work

    Hi,
    Please help me, i started my new rig and the wi-fi module (that hard to fit in the mobo) don't even appear in device manager.
    I already tried to dismount and remount the module on the motherboard with extreme care, no success.
    Here is my rig:
    Main Board: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
    Bios Version: 1.4
    Video Card: R9 290X
    Memory: 16 Gb Corsair Vengeance 2400Mhz
    Processor Intel 4790K
    OC: Not yet
    Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro 64
    Please help me 

    Recheck your WiFi Bluetooth expansion module connection on the board.
    Recheck your MB mounting in the case, i.e. errant standoffs. Perhaps test the board outside the case on a non conductive surface to ensure no potential short exists. Then retest with the WiFi plugged in.

  • Possible issue with MSI Live Update 5

    Hi guys, purchased a brand new MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G GPU from Scan.co.uk just before Christmas.
    Whilst playing around with GPUz i happened to notice that my card appears to have had at least one new BIOS for it (possibly two) since release. I downloaded MSI Live Update 5 from your site and ran the tool however it reports my GPU BIOS Version as unknown and doesn't find any BIOS updates for my card.
    Just wondering why this would be and if i can get a link to the latest BIOS and instructions on how to manually flash.
    My system specs are as follows
    AMD FX8350 @ 4.8Ghz 1.55v / Corsair H100 Cooler
    ASUS Sabertooth R990FX R2.0
    16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz CL9 @ 1866Mhz CL9,9,9,24-2T
    MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G
    2 x Sandisk Ultra 256GB SSDs in RAID 0
    Fractal Design Define XL R2
    If you need any further info please let me know. Thanks

    First off this is a Users-to-Users Forum not MSI tech support if you wanted to address them. Don't use LU5 as it is quite buggy. You can't see if there are new vbios versions available as you can't compare gpu-z numbers or such. Different batches of the same model can use different vbios versions which have different (higher or lower) version numbers. A higher version number might be a different not newer vbios. To check your S/N and a copy of your current vbios is required.

    ok just wanted to update , well had to reload everything, it lost half the registry and changed everything to .lnk extensions, so im pretty sure the bsod  was caused my issues because I didn't reload the OS fresh, and the bios was using a 1.0 flash , now since reload everything is all happy, im currently running a 4.7 Oc with 1.31 v on the cpu, 1.6v on the ram and 1.91 on vccin, and so far its stable and holding, so lesson learned "reload os when adding new mb and cpu" and make sure the bios is up to date.  after everthing is reinstalled I may try a 5.0 OC cause I kinda made that y goal currently I think its entirely possible considering its dl,ng multiple filesgames and checking my raid 5 volume, and the temp is37-41c so so far so good, if anyone wants to throw so suggestions feel free but so far I am thinking 4.7 is the magic number hmmm

    I'm just curious, did you update your mobo bios to latest release? Also, what speed do you usually keep your cpu at?
    I have updated my BIOS to latest version only because I though I had BIOS problem -> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=252562.msg1451633#msg1451633
    Turned out it wasn't, but no one replied at the time.
    I keep ,y CPU as high as temperatures allows,. I run 3 Prime95 threads 24/7 + 1 more at night time, and I prefer CPU package temps to be at low 60s.
    Currently @ 4HGz 1.16v under load (tad above default 1.15v)

    Heh I had problems with trying to see again was what happening in my PC but yesterday....
    Ok I went to my friend house, we used the card with his 350 watts 15A in the 12V+ and it worked.
    Then we tried to install the PSU but I dont know why its 4pin was incompatible with mine....
    Well heres the important part: I went to a local Computer Store where they repair too and with another more powerfull PSU in my PC  and the card didnt worked for seconds, but the guy played a little with my Ram and he noticed that its posible to that be the problem. Remember that my ram its a Kingston 400DDR 2X1 Gb running in the purple and the green slots of the mobo. when we changed them to both purples slots of the mobo the PC dosent work and make a the beep sound. I have the braket in my computer and it showed a red dot here:  GR

  • Iphone 3GS just updated with 4.0.1 and nothing works on 3G!!!

    I just updated my Iphone 3GS to the new software 4.0.1 and it was working fine with my wireless service at home, but when I get out, nothing works, I tryed to open the internet, nothing, tryed to open youtube, nothing, nothing that requires internet service was working, I can only use the phone and text, I called ATT and talked to iphone support and she told me to go the setting and did bunch of stuff, turn off the 3G, delete cookies, restore setting, etc, nothing worked to get me connectec to the internet, she told me then that I have to restore the phone and download the software again, I did it last night and today, same is happening, I can not get internet connection, I am getting really frustraring with this new crapy software 4.0.1, WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!!

    Many people have been having reception/connection issues after the 4.0.1 update. Just search these forums and you will see. In the update Apple in their ultimate wisdom used a new algorithm to display the way the bars are displayed on the iPhone, mainly for the new iPhone 4, but it seems to be having a drastic effect on 3G and 3GS users. They say it should have no effect on actual reception as what you see now is what it actually was the whole time but only displayed differently but many are having serious issues. My friend updated and where she used to have 1 to 2 bars in her house and had no problem making calls she now has No Service.
    I myself didn't update to 4.0.1 and won't until they get this sorted out.
    Not sure why your having a problem only with internet connection, but like I said search these forums and you will hopefully find an answer.
    Good Luck

  • Why cant I get itunes to work in windows 8? I hate this  update issue nothing works- aggh!

    Why cant I get itunes update to work in windows 8?
    I tried running the new itunes installer since it couldn't update itunes, then I tried the installer with
    compatability checked. The older version worked fine till an update came out and now nothing works
    (sync /app updates/ photo uploads)- it does still play music on the computer.
    My son had older (windows 7) computer but if I sync there it tells me I'm wiped and stuck with his music.
    I'm really hating itunes and ready to trash the phone etc. Im due for upgrade anyway.
    With all these stupid upgrades why hasn't this issue been addressed. 8 has been out for awhile now.
    Has anyone been able to fix this issue? Please share how!

    You will need iTunes 9.2.1 at minimum to access the iTunes Store. Earlier versions will not work.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1056
    but it would be best to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.5 or 10.6, since it's probable that eventually the iTunes Store will no longer support iTunes 9.x. and newer versions of iTunes will not run on Mac OS X 10.4.
    Regards.
