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.

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

Hi everyone,
Doing my first build in quite a few years so somewhat of a Noob. I'm using an MSI Gaming 7 and an Intel 4970k. I'm using 2x4GB Crucial 1833 SDRAM.
After hooking CPU and MB, and cooler (Evo 212) I decided to see if things boot before installing a dedicated GPU, drives, etc.
Unfortunately, I don't get to boot, and instead I get stuck in an early post: I go past 99->33-> then I eventually get stuck around 41-43 with the numbers occasionally shifting back. According to the manual, this is "early memory initialization error". I've tried using a single RAM in each of the slot, and then also tried the other one instead. No luck, always the same point.
Not sure what to do at this point, and whether there's a way to check if the MB or the CPU or both are hosed.
Also, I'm wondering why the MSI LED is not on. Should it be on up to the boot? What is its purpose?

to what bios version live update update it?
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
and proceed with recovery

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.

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

Re: MSI Z97 Gaming 7 No POST

This is probably before they started allowing the ability to do USB rescue disks. This is why you cannot find the folders they talk about....
I would probably suggest getting a USB DVD drive and using that instead.

MOVED: Z97 Gaming 5 boot loop

This topic has been moved to GAMING Motherboards.
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??

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)..

Help! Z77A-GD65 mobo won't post - Debug LED says dE - no beeps

I'm not sure where to start. I came home to find my computer off. Turning it back on results in all the lights and fans coming back on. No post and no beeps. Screens are just blank.
The 8 blue CPU phase LED lights above the CPU are all on. Nothing unusual there.
The Debug LED lights show "dE" which isn't documented at all in the manual. Does anyone know what this error code means?
Z77A GD65 mobo with corei7 3770 - SSD - 4x4GB Corsair RAM - No GPU. Otherwise nothing special.
Where's a good place to start? Reset the CMOS/BIOS? Swap out memory sticks?

http://www.ami.com/support/doc/AMI_Aptio_4.x_Status_Codes_PUB.pdf
D3 or DE?
0xD0 – 0xDF DXE errors
0xD3 Some of the Architectural Protocols are not available
Power off, battery removed, CMOS clear may be worth trying. Yes, test each stick individually in the DIMM2 slot.
Added: Might want to hold off swapping BIOS chips until some more investigation is completed. Don't want to take the chance of possibly corrupting the backup BIOS chip at this point.

New Build, Won't POST, Debug code stays at 00

I just got done building a new MPOWER MAX with an I5-4670K. The build is a new power supply, motherboard, CPU, RAM. Video card I was using was in an old system and worked fine. 24 pin power, and the 2x 8 pin power supplies are all hooked up.
I have torn the PC back apart to where it's now just Motherboard, and CPU. No RAM, no Video card, no HDD's, no DVD drive. The system will not POST, and the Debug code never changes from 00. I have even pulled off all the front panel Power/LED/Speaker connectors.
I have also tried switching the BIOS toggle switch, and cleared BIOS from the back panel. I don't know where to go with this since it won't even give me a code of any kind.

Z97 Gaming 5 Flashing / Ticking Debug Code 00

Hi,
My new rig I built over a week ago which was working fine, until I came home to power on and the system was not posting and I heard a consistent ticking sound coming from the tower. So I opened the side panel and audio lights coinciding with debug led were flashing 00. I've tried reseting the cmos, didn't work. What else can I do? I hope this is not bricked mobo being how young it is.. Please help!
CPU: i5 4690k
PSU: Corsair 750RM
Memory: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance
Mobo: MSI Gaming 5
Video: Asus GTX 970
Storage: Samsung Evo 840 500GB

Try to turn off your Power supply or plug out the 24pin /8 pin power cable from the motherboard, then try
clear CMOS and wait for 1 min and then replug the power cable to the MB first.
If still have problem, try to plug out the memory and just plug in 1 memory, try also to plug out the Video card and use the onboard VGA first for testing.

Z97 G45 Won't Post

I've read the forum and it seems I have the same issue as others here and elsewhere with the no-post problem with this board and the Intel Core i7 4790K.
As others have reported both the CPU and Case Fan start spinning but no video out of any of the 3 on-board ports. There is a light (Audio boost I believe) that lights up on the board.
Have tried swapping out the Ram (single stick all 4 slots)
I emailed tech support and a stock troubleshooting guide but no answer to the question of what bios version is installed in this board out of the box.
Is there any way of gleaning anything from this serial # 601-7821-050B1411219xxx
Unfortunately I have no access to another Haswell CPU to upgrade or determine the bios.
Specs:
Intel Core i7 4790K Unlocked Quad Core HT 4GHZ/4.4GHZ
MSI Z97-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Z87 3PCI-E16 4PCI-E1
Corsair Vengeance Blue CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B 8GB 2X4GB
Cooler Master Elite 350 Black ATX Mid Tower Case
500 w Power Supply

Thanks for your reply flobelix.
Your comment that "There is no Z97 cpu that does not support any Haswell Refresh cpu including the K cpus" seems to be contrary to a number of posts in other forums
Such problems are limited to Z87 boards.

MSI Z97 Gaming 7 No POST
