MPower Z87 stuck at A2 when Fanatec wheel connected

Hello,
I've been experiencing a strange issue with your MPower Z87 motherboard, BIOS already updated to the latest version available. Long story short, I have a Fanatec steering wheel
eu.fanatec.com/RacingWheels/ClubSportWheelBaseEU
and everytime I turn on my PC with my steering wheel already on, the motherboard shows the usual codes on my monitor, then get stuck at A2 status without even reaching the MPower yellow and black image. As soon as I unplug my wheel's USB cable, PC runs fine and reaches Windows without a problem.
My configuration is:
Intel Core i7-4770K
16 GB DDR3 RipjawsX 1600 Mhz
Samsung 840 256GB
MSI GTX 780 Lighting
Enermax Revolution 650W
Do you think that this procedure might help? What's strange is that this happens with an Asus Z87 motherboard too, while everything works fine on my notebook, which mounts a Sandy Bridge CPU instead of a Haswell one.
Let me know if you have any suggestions or if you need further informations.

When you update the bios use the method here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172772.msg1257570#msg1257570
The latest MP bios can be found here:

I'll be posting the latest beta's this week after I am done being at the hospital so much.

Is there any reason or my why cursor is stuck on the spinning rainbow wheel?

Lately my macbook has been freezing, and I'm thinking that it's being overloaded. Most of the time the cursor is stuck on the spinning rainbow wheel, but it will eventually return back into the arrow. It's currently stuck as the spinning wheel, but I am able to click and access sites. Is there anything I should do to get this checked?
EDIT: When I open a new tab, the cursor goes back to normal. Is there any reason why it is doing that in the other tab?

Hi,
Use the PC KB and hold Windows key + r key at bootup.
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

I have a 4th generation ipod classic (click wheel) and it's giving me a sad ipod error as well as not mounting in itunes... I hear a clicking inside when it is connected to power but nothing is working. Help!

I have a 4th generation ipod classic (click wheel) and it's giving me a sad ipod error as well as not mounting in itunes... I hear a clicking inside when it is connected to power but nothing is working. Help!

You won't believe this but a friend of mine (who happens to be an Apple Genius) told me to put a towel or cloth on a sturdy countertop (I know this may sound weird) but hold the selct button (in the center) and menu part of the wheel at the same time until an Apple logo comes up on the screen and then quickly turn the ipod on it's side and wack it on the counter where the towel is so as not to damage anything cosmetically. It seems the clicking is the hard drive reader is stuck and this dislodges it. Mine works now (no clicking) and all seems to be well again. Who knew?

(MSI MPOWER Z87) System Won't Start

Hi, a month ago I built for myself a new PC with MSI MPOWER Z87 motherboard.
For a month it worked fine, but couple of days ago, when I tried to launch it nothing would work, OS doesn't start, fans not working including processor fan. All I see is power button button(on motherboard) lit, OC Switch Led lights (one red and one blue) and Clear CMOS (blue) blinking. Debug led doesn't work either. Can anyone help me to solve this problem, what problem do I have and what can I do to fix it?

HuntKey Green Power 550W Sounds cheap and unreliable. Haswell also requires slightly different PSU than older systems did, so if possible test something like Corsair, Seasonic, Antec (and similar with GOOD quality and reputation). You could also go to local PC shop/IT services and ask for testing your system with their quality PSU.

Big problem with Mpower z87 + I5 4670K

Hi
My English is not perfect so i'll be quick :
Hardware :
MSI Mpower Z87
Core i5 4670K
2x4GO DDR3 2400 1.65V
EVGA 750W GOLD
Water cooling
Ati 7950
SSD Samsung 120GO
So i'm trying to overclock my 4670K but when my frequency is at 4.2MHZ i am obliged to fix my voltage at 1.320V.
If my voltage is under 1.320V and my frenquency is 4.2MHZ i have a boot loop or a BSOD with code : STOP 0x00000124.
Why me i need to fix my voltage over 1.320 V ???? it is to HIGH for juste 4.2 MHZ......
Please help me.
Thx

Doesn't work. I have flash the bios and try to O/C but same problème : boot loop on windows.
Yeah, 42X on the core worked but with a high voltage (1.300 V). On the internet i have see many tests where users run on 45X with a low voltage (1.140 V) Why i need a high voltage ???? and why when i change the voltage to 1.300 + i have a black screen ?? i am desesperate, first time on MSi fore me.....
Leave the CPU V. on Auto. Use the voltage offsets if needed above what gets set by default. Simply the luck-of-the-draw with Intel CPU's. Mine will do 47X on only 1.18v's, but it cooks itself to death. So the alternative? I set mine to 43X as at 45X, the performance was identical at 43X with less heat and voltage being required. If the board works perfect at auto/stock/default, then it isn't the board.

MPower Z87 - long board start up

Hello,
I purchased MPower Z87 board and after yesterdays assembly I stumbled upon strange board behaviour.
Spec:
CPU - i7 4770
RAM - 2x4GB G.Skill
HDD's - 1x WD EARS 2TB SATA2 - 1x WD EARX 2TB SATA3
SSD'a - 1x OCZ Vertex 90GB SATA2 - 1x Samsun 250GB SATA3 - 1x Toshiba 128GB mSATA
PSU - Seasonic 620W
Problem:
AFAIKT - Debug codes:
9C - SCSI detect
A2 - ATA detect
Long board start up. When I power up PC then I can see debug codes:
9C - 20sec -> 2min
A2 - 2sec -> 5min
So in worst case scenerio board boot up up to 5minutes !!!
NO HDD/SSD - 9C - 20sec -> A2 - 3sec = 23sec to BIOS !!!
This is on 130 BIOS, same on older one that's why I upgraded from 100.
Any idea what can cause this?
Any adivce more then welcome.
PS> Some complains:
I must say that I'm not a fan of MSI at all. I did purchase this board only because sound was better then the one in ASUS ones. My bad and now I regret it because this on my speakers won't be noticed anyways.
6xSATA slot - congratulation on adding to the Mobo L shaped connecters and not streight ones, now I can't connect upper ones when lower ones are used !!!

Well ... I don't know what debug code mean because well.. no entry in manual on this one... so. But that's not important.
Tests, now I see only A2 debug codes (9C is either super fast or not present at all) and time is related to that code:
Legacy+UEFI
SATA3 - boot very fast (SSD Samsung 840 - clean - factory state)
SATA3 - WD EARX (HDD - clean - factory state) - slow (around 5-10sec)
SATA3 + SATA3 - (SSD + HDD - factory state) - very slow
UEFI:
SATA3 connected - boot very fast (SSD Samsung 840 - clean - factory state)
SATA3 connected - WD EARX (HDD - clean - factory state) - very fast
SATA2 connected - WD EARS (HDD - partition data) - very slow
Ok.
That's deal breaker for me, as I won't juggle drives when new ones will be purchase later just to get acceptable boot speed.
In old days (Pentium 1 to 3 times) MSI product were portrayed by me as cheapest one and cr@9ies ones, now only first one changed as it's still cr@9 but cost now much more.
Going to the shop for ASUS one <- that's probably faster solution.
UPDATE:
Sometime when I press power off after some time (5-10sec) PC turns ON automatically, maybe I did turn on some "auto wake" feature - although I have all this disabled.
A2 - on drives still with long wait.

MPower Z87 dimensions concerns.

Hello :D
I was planning on purchasing a MPower Z87 board and pair it with a 212 EVO sometime over the summer.
I am concerned that the EVO will have a problem with the M heatsink (the EVO´s height is 37 mm). Usually, i would not be concerned, but I don't have measurements for the MPower anywhere handy and have no idea what to do.
EVO size sheet:
Basically, this is my setup
(HEATSINK)****(212)(212 FAN)*****(4 DIMMS)
Id like to know the following measurements so as to be able to know if everything will fit nicely.
Distance from M heatsink to socket.
Height of M heatsink.
Distance from socket to DIMMs.
My dimms are 44 mm high, so they do not fit under the 212. If the spacing is not atleast 51.5 mm i wont be able to install dimm 1 and will have to change my ram.
It would be even cooler if i could get what the spacing is supposed to be according to 1150 or ATX or whatever standard determines it.
Thank you in advance.
follow up: "what are the optimal dimm slots for this mobo when placing 2 sticks of ram? 2 and 4 work as well as 1 and 3?"

Don't be concern, u can put a Jumbo Jet on that mobo
Anyway EVO is not that big.
About your ram if it doesn't fit with this board/ cooler it will most likely wont fit other other board, dimm placements is pretty standard now.
I really wonder why Ram manufacturers don't want us to see their IC ram chips inside so they makes us pay for huge useless heatsinks and most of them dont even look good, get rid of that crap with care

MPower Z87 Power connectors

Recently put together a new PC build using a MSI MPower z87, but my power supply (BFG 1250watt - modular) only had one lead for the 8pin power connection for the board. I tried to use a different connector that the power supply had plenty of, a 6pin + 2 pin that was the same size and shape with the +2 connected, but when I attempted to power on, the thinner wire to the +2 portion melted. Did this hurt the board? and Is it safe to run the board with only one of the two 8 pin power connectors connected? (JPWR1 and JPWR2) I do have the larger JPWR3 connected (the one above the SATA connectors).
I'm guessing I'll need to get a new power supply, the BFG one I have is a bit old, from a 2009 build, which may be why it only has one ATX 8pin connector. Can anyone recommend a power supply that defiantly has 2 (or more) 8 pin ATX power connectors?
Thanks

that may have fried the board as a 8 pin CPU power connector has different pins (a live and a ground on the side) but a 8 pin PCI-E power connector has 2 grounds there so you may have blown something on the board or damaged the PSU itself if your unlucky!
try with just one 8pin CPU power connector and and hope to hell you haven't blown something and you lucked out there and haven't damage something (It only needs one unless your using LN2 cooling and doing massive overclocks and huge over voltage's to push the CPU way above its design limits)!
also if you have damaged something and its broke your in a bad position here as you will have voided the warranty as its classed as user error because you made the mistake of convecting that!

MSI MPOWER z87 BSOD on boot in RAID mode

Hello, I've just recently added a harddrive and was attempting to set up a raid and encountered this issue. I have 2 ssds - one is the boot drive, second for games, and I have 3 1tb hdd drives which I was attempting to put in a raid5. I installed the third drive today, went in to the BIOS, switched SATA mode to RAID and got an immediate BSOD before even booting to Windows. Previously, I've had the two ssd in a RAID-0 and never had this issue. The ssd are no longer in a RAID, I was hoping to only have the 3 hdd in the raid5. I'm now having to reinstall windows because the error corrupted a system file somewhere and I'm unable to repair it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My system is:
Windows 7-64bit
MSI MPOWER z87
Intel i7-4770k
8gb corsair vengeance RAM
2 120gb OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
3 1tb WD10ezex HDD
MSI GTX760 GPU
Rosewill Capstone 750W PSU

You cannot just change SATA modes.

Note: one mistake or missing step and you won't be able to boot again.

When i run keynote in the play mode, some times the computer get stuck, why?, when i run key note in the play mode, some times the computer get stuck, why?

when i run keynote in the play mode, some times the computer get stuck, why?, when i run key note in the play mode, some times the computer get stuck, why?

hello,
I had the same issue. This is what I was told to do.
iWork has to be removed completely to be effective when re-installing, you must use an application removal tool to do this or it wont remove every Keynote file.
Appcleaner   will do this and its free.
The following procedure has helped solve many issues with Keynote:
1 Close Keynote then use Appcleaner
2 Empty the Trash
3 Shut down the Mac, then restart and press the shift key immediately after the startup sound, then release shift when the Apple logo appears
          allow the Mac to boot up to the desktop, it will take longer then usual as the hard drive is being repaired
4 restart the Mac
5 Reinstall iWork
6 Repair permissions:
          Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > First Aid:   click on your system disc in the drive column
          and select Repair Disk Permissions
7 open Keynote and test

My iPhone 4S hangs (gets stuck or unresponsive) when deleting photos from the camera roll or use Messages app

I am now on my third replacement phone from Apple because of this issue. My iPhone 4S frequently hangs (gets stuck), without response, when I click on the trash icon to delete a photo, for about 20-30 seconds before becoming responsive again. I notice that this problem of freezing happens also when I use my Messages app for texts. There is no crash that occurs because the app responds after hanging for some time, therefore does not create a crash report to be sent to Apple. I never had this problem on my iPhone 4, and truly regret upgrading to the new device. I bought this phone for the faster processor, however I ended up with a device that is much slower and unresponsive. At the instruction of the multiple geniuses at the Apple store, I've restored the phone numerous times and set it up as a new device to no avail, and have lost app data every time. I've had three different phones now, and the genius cannot resolve my issue. they've even done what's called a DFU mode restore to restore the device firmware, yet no fix. Is anyone having similar issues? I'm starting to think its a software issue, although the apple store kept replacing my phone with a "remanufactured phone" even though I was within the 30 day return period. When I asked to get a new phone from the box, they told me it couldn't be done since I had my device replaced with a repair model already.

I suffer same. AppleCare can't seem to solve the problem. I did a restore from backup. Then I did a restore as new phone (virgin). Then I did a restore as a new device and then backed up from a stored backup (which does not replace media). To no avail. Some days it works fine, and on others it's extremely bothersome. The major symptoms:
1. It can take 5+ seconds to delete a photo.
2. It can take 10+ seconds for the camera app to activate. In many instances, the moment is long gone.
3. Switching from camera to video can take 5+ seconds.
4. Saving a photo that's been optimized in iOS 5 can take 30 seconds. Absurd.
Note that Photos and Camera aren't the only affected applications. What'sApp can have the same issues on occasion. Voice Memos don't respond like they should, either. I suspect that there's some behind-the-scenes operations with network feed to which iOS gives its full attention (contrary to the UX getting full attention is is historically the case). This makes the user interface painfully slow at times — and, as most of us here would agree — painfully annoying. This might have to do with changes designed around iCloud, but I'm not even (yet) using it.
The bottom line is that what used to be a quick, pretty good phone camera is now totally lackluster and unreliable for fast shots. Sometimes I think Apple spends too much time worrying about form and not enough about function.

Unable to exit my songs....., Unable to exit my songs.....I'm stuck.. When I close GB and open it again is still on "my songs" ...what should I do?

When I close GB and open it again is still on "my songs" ...what should I do?
That doesn't actually sound like a problem. If you were viewing "My Songs", switch apps then go back to GB this what should happen. If you were playing an instrument then it should restart with that instrument selected etc. However if you can't get from the "My Songs" display to a song then I guess something is amiss.
More drastic troubleshooting steps would be...
Remove the app and reinstall it or
Backup and then restore the device.

FCPX gets stuck on 0% when trying to export video

Hi.
Final Cut Pro will always get stuck at 0% when I try to export a video in the "Apple Devices" format. This just started happening recently. Is there any way I can get this to start working again?

Are you editing with H.264 natively? FCPX will freeze on a "bad frame" in an h.264 cut (usually at the very beginning of the clip.) If you are editing H.264 natively, you can usually get FCPX to behave if you right click on your Event clips and Transcode > Optimized media. You should also trim off the bad frames (they are typically solid green) in the storyline.
