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.

Z97 Gaming 7 - bios 1.6 , random SATA drives disappearing

Hello, today I updated the bios from version 1.5 to 1.6.
There is a problem, when i reboot the system, displays the message no drive to boot the system.
I have 3 drives, intel sad 520 with system, samsung ssd 840 evo and one normal hdd. Boot order, have changed, so i recover correct order and after the next reboot bios lost this settings. After several reboots, bios lost both SSD's and shows only question marks .
I disconnected all SATA drives, plugged in again, loaded the default settings, after that all disks get back but i lost my dvd-rom, bios also shows question marks. So i think its a random issue.
I switched mono to second bios (1.3) and all works fine, with 1.5 also was fine.
Is this a bug of the new BIOS or i've made something wrong?
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?

However if you need BIOS update prior to have some RAM or GPU working fine (or other stuff), then maybe consider updating to 1.6 and then to 1.9 and finally to 1.B (1.11). I suggest using MFlash (files can be downloaded on MSI's product site, instructions should be included). For Forum Flash tool you need proper files provided (usually) by Svet or Flobelix.
Before attempting to flash, make sure your system is stable!
I downloaded BIOS 1,5 and 1,6 and in both cases i have same issue it stucks on 100% on M-Flash, after this I can normaly shut down pc and it work but witch 1.4 BIOS. I just want know whyi can;t
updtate.

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

Msi z97 gaming 5 bios update help

Hello I recently purchased the msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard. It was working fine it came with bios version 1.0 and I wanted to update it. I downloaded the latest 1.5 bios from msi website copied to usb flash drive and flashed it using mflash. Computer powers on but black screen wont do nothing. I cleared cmos and battery and still nothing so I am pretty sure its bricked. I am going to store to exchange it for another one but I want to be able to safely update the bios without bricking again. I usually dont update bios unless needed but i need at least 1.2 bios to fully support the devils canyon cpu. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I read about the usb flashing tool in forum but also read that bios+me need to be flashed and I don't know if that program is up to date and will flash both files? I really appreciate it if someone helped thanks in advance.

Also does anyone know if it is dangerous to update the bios with a 4690k devils canyon cpu since it is not officially supported until 1.2? Is that why my first bios flash was bricked? I would hate to go and borrow another cpu just to update the bios but if I have to I will. Sorry for all the questions but I need to get my bios updated and I will not update it until I am sure of all these things. Thanks to anyone who answers these questions.

Update Z97 Gaming 5 BIOS

Hi,
I recently have acquired this motherboard and come with BIOS v1.0 (build date: 08/2014)
My system specs are:
i5 4690k
msi z97 gaming 5
ATI radeon hd5750
HyperX Savage 16gb ram 1600Mhz
SSD 850 EVO 250Gb
HDD Samsung 750Gb
sometime the system is unstable (mainly when I'm downloading a file at max Mbs the CPU goes to 100%) so I'm think to update bios to the last version 1.9
I see the like referred MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool. My first question is: Is this procedure different than the normal procedure using M-Flash?
I see that I can update BIOS on the site in this way:
1) Download last BIOS (7917v19.zip)
2) Put it on removable drive (with FAT32)
3) Restart PC going On the MSI Click BIOS 4
4) Load the downloaded BIOS using M-Flash utilities
Are there some steps that I missing? Is this procedure safe if I have all PC assembled with all piece (CPU, RAM, HDD, etc.)?
Best Regards
Vincenzo

Hi,
I've to download BIOS 1.0 form MSI site or Save it form BIOS in order to have exactly the previous?
I think the one from the site should be fine, won't do any harm to save the one you have either.
Quote from: sorrentinov
If something goes wrong is possible to reload the old Bios?
This depends on how wrong it went.
Quote from: sorrentinov
Moreover I have to disconnect something or can I flash with all PC assembled?
You can never be too safe, but you should be good with everything connected as long there is no OC, CPU or RAM.
Some BIOS instructions requite that the flash drive is recognized as removable, see instruction on MSI site.

The better way to update bios is using m-flash?
Some may say the forum tool is safer, I myself don't believe in magic, IMO they are equally unsafe, a spike in electricity and you may end with a brick.

If wanting to update to bios 1.9 there is no single need to download bios 1.0.
None at all?

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

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=256760.0

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.

MOVED: Z97 Gaming 5 boot loop

https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=254983.0

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??

This topic has been moved to GAMING Motherboards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251803.0

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)..

MOVED: Bios settings for single SATA Drive Help

Nope. Didn't work.
I can try things all day but this doesn't make sense. Surely someone knows what bios settings are required (especially on the MSI board site) to set the bios on a MSI 945p platnium motherboard. I have the sata drive plugged into the Sata 1 connector and bios still says it is ide channel 4 master. The computer will boot with just the sata drive plugged in but the problems start when I plug the ide drives in on ide 1 or 2 or 3.

Bios settings for single SATA Drive Help

I have just installed a 945P Platnium mother board with a Pentium 4 3.4 extreme with HT tech.
I have 2 GB of memory, nvidia 1 gb video 9800 GT, I have 2 IDE hard drives: WD 320 GB(C:) and WD 120 GB (E:) and a CD/DVD drive (F:). I installed a WD 500 GB SATA drive on SATA 1 and the two IDE hard drives on IDE 1 on the same cable with the 320 GB as master and the 120 GB as slave. The CD is on IDE channel 2 as the master. I have cloned the IDE 320 (c:) to the 500 GB Sata which is now the boot drive (c:).
I have been able to boot the computer but the CD/DVD drive doesn't show. If I unplug the the hard drives and reboot then the CD/DVD drive shows up.
My question is: I want the single 500GB sata as the boot drive (c:) (don't need RAID?). I want the two IDE drives with the 320GB as drive (e:) and the 120GB as drive (whatever) and the CD/DVD drive to show up as (F: or whatever).
I don't know what settings in the bios I need to be working with. I have been experimenting but would like the correct way to set the bios up.
Thanks

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)

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
