MSI 770-G45: Will not detect SSD.

My mother board can't detect my SSD but strangely enough it can detect my DVD drive (sorry, I don't know the name and model).
My computer was fine till I recently switched out my heat sink. I tried to turn on my computer and it wouldn't start at all; I noticed that I plugged in the wrong connectors into JFP1, so I fixed that and reconnected them into their proper pins. It powered on but that's about it so I cleared CMOS jumper which helped me get to the BIOS but now it can't detect my SSD to which it contains my OS. As I said, I can get to the BIOS but that's about it.
I'm at work so I can't tell you what BIOS version is on it but before clearing the CMOS it was at the latest BIOS version. I will have to confirm it's current version later.
I checked all connections, tried different SATA cords and other connections on my board. Still can't detect it.

My mistake... I was thinking you were running Raid with 2 SSD's...
Is your SSD in Sata 1? It is best to put your storage drives in the lower Sata connectors and your optical drives in the last, higher numbers. Possibly change out your Sata cable. Check that it is seated correctly. Having a single SSD you can set IDE, Raid disabled. If Raid is on, it will be looking for the raid program to control the drives. You don't have to run and do it, but a new Bios was released .9 (bios should only be updated if the changes benefit you) Also make sure the power lead to the SSD is seated. Possibly when you were installing your cooler, you didn't realize you... it happens.
Another option is to test your SSD in another PC and see if it shows up.
Are you using 'Del' or 'F11' to get into Bios.. I use 'F11'.. it's on the list.
I don't think I can update to 9. The latest is 10.8 according to MSI but if I can upgrade to 10.9 then I'll try that out.
Yeah, my SSD APPEARS to work; I plugged it into a hard drive enclosure and it powered on; plugged it to my laptop and it was able to read it; only thing was that I couldn't really do anything with it which I found odd. It didn't show up in my list of drives in windows explorer however it did appear in the disk management console (diskmgmt.msc at command prompt). This issue might be suspect.
One thing I didn't mention; to check to see if there was an issue with my SSD, I tried another SATA hard drive. At this point, I was able to detect my DVD drive but not my SSD so I figured I should try and see if I can read a normal hard drive. I plugged her and my computer didn't start. I put the normal hard drive back into its enclosure and it didn't work; the power light was red blinking; tried another enclosure similar results.

MSI 770-G45 will not boot/POST

I just built a new computer yesterday (specs in signature) and have been trying to get it to work all day.
It powers on, all fans start up for all components (CPU heatsink fan, GPU heatsink fan, etc) but there's no POST beep and no signal for the graphics card.
CPU is seated correctly, LEDs are active to phase 4. All cables/components are secure, nothing is loose.
I've tested each DIMM slot individually, tried booting with only 1 stick of RAM with no luck. I've tried RAM from another computer that I know works with the same results. Tried a different video card, tried with no video card to see if I could get it to POST at all.
Tried three different hard drives, but I don't even think the computer is getting to BIOS.
Reset CMOS to no effect.
The only time I've ever gotten any sound from the motherboard speaker is when I took all the RAM out and powered it on, and it gave a RAM error, so at least it's getting that far in POST?
I'm guessing it's a RAM compatibility problem, or a defective motherboard, but I could be missing something obvious.

I doubt you can RMA a CPU because of bent pins as that's something you done.
Yes you know he did it right? It could never happen any other way. My crystal ball must be foggy cause I can not in any way know if they bent the pins themself or not.
It's a new CPU under warranty, I would just call up say it was shipped that way and see where I get to. I would go to the retail first then if no help try manufacturer. Best bet would be retail and if it was shipped by UPS or something you can posibally claim damage in shipping.
Their is always something to try Bas, don't be so negative.

MSI 970A-G45 will not complete POST

Every so often, out of the blue, the system won't boot up.
Hitting reset doesn't help, disconnecting the power and letting it sit doesn't help.
The system powers on, begins it's POST, but after initializing the drives (HDD light flashes, CD ROM light comes on, goes off) it cycles again (right about the time it should initialize the video, it seems to loop back to the beginning of the POST - so I don't get any POST codes on the screen when this happens). It cycles through, initializes the drives again, and then starts over. IF however I pull either stick of RAM, it then will get past this, and continue on with the post. I can shut the system off as soon as I see the keyboard lights flash, re-insert the RAM, power up, and it's all back to normal. Resetting the CMOS does the same thing, but if I pull a RAM stick, then I don't have to set up the CMOS again. I have tried other RAM, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Again, if it was the PSU, the board wouldn't "lock" in the looped state, and disconnecting all the drives would release it from any power induced failure if that was the issue, and as I posted before, disconnecting all the drives will not release the board from it's locked state. In my previous posts, I also stated that this failure happened before the system had all these drives in it. Another point, people have been underestimating power supplies for years - which is good for the manufacturers of high end power supplies, but bad news for our wallets. My power supply can support this system, plus about another 10 or more hard drives before things would get dodgy. This is something I have tested quite extensively since the late 80's when IBM PCs were still using 63W supplies, but everyone wanted a 150W in their "clones".
It should also be noted that the 5V and 12V rails are isolated from the voltages used by the processor and RAM. They aren't even connected to the same electrolytic capacitors.
in short, "If your car still rattles when the engine is off, the problem isn't the gas you are using!"
PS - thanks for the advice so far, but since it's happened with 2 different supplies and under much less load, we need to stop focusing on the power supply. For the record, I ran the numbers again, and under 60% load (which is triple the average load on this thing when not editing video) I could add 10 more high rpm SATA hard disks and still be drawing under 600W. Yes, hard disks draw a lot of short term power at spin up, but power supplies can supply well beyond their maximum rating for short periods of time, so it balances out!
While I am at it, I thought I'd let you all "meet the beast".

MSI Z87-G45 will not load OS with two SATA HDD's connected

I have an MSI Z87-G45 board and I am attempting to connect a second SATA HDD. Each time I connect the second disk and then power up the workstation I get the following message:
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
The primary HDD is a WD 160GB drive and the secondary drive that I am attempting to connect is a WD 2TB drive. I am not trying to dual boot, I just need a second disk for a little more space available. I am not sure if there are some settings that would need to be changed in the BIOS, but I would think that by default I could connect a secondary HDD, and it would be recognized as such. Anyone else dealt with this or have any pointers? This is really driving me crazy.
I should note everything else with the workstation works perfectly, it's just when adding a second drive, it will no longer load windows 7 from the 160GB drive.

That is one reason this is driving me crazy, I have made sure that the 160GB drive is primary in the boot process. Is there anything else you can think of that may be causing this?

MSI H55M-E32 will not detect Graphics card

HI,
I just bought a new cpu, i am using the intel intergrated graphics (on-board) at the moment. I tried installing radeon 9600 pro graphics card but the mobo does not detect it. Monitor is black screen, no boot up. btw the fan on radeon 9600pro is not spinning.
I tried using another graphics card that i have. A creative gf4 Ti4200. no boot up on monitor as well. fan not spinning.
How to get the motherboard to detect the graphics card...??? my computer does not detect any graphic cards..
I like to get radeon 9600pro working ...How to do it?
My comp:
Motherboard - MSI H55M-E32
cpu - Intel i3 540
mem - kingston 2gb ddr3 pc1333
psu - Vios 450w psu

Thanks.

and the other one is an ancient agpx 4 card as well
YOU DO NOT HAVE AN AGP SLOT TO PUT THEM IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Z77A-G45 will not detect video card.

I though that I was having trouble with a new gtx 760sc, so I RMA'd it. On-board video works fine. Still can't detect video card. Bought a new power as well(antec HCG-750). After i received the new video card and still had the same issues I tried out other video cards. Tried two different nvidia cards. One was a 4 series and one a 5 series. Tried in both pci-e slots, and yes the correct power cables were plugged in.

CPU looks fine.
Was finally able to breadboard the thing today. Had the same issues at first. Then I tried the third pcie slot and got post. This one is pcie2.0, so I tried the other slots again. Was able to get the 760 to boot on th second pcie slot. Put the mb back in the case and lost boot on card again. Reseated, same issue. Breadboarded and was able to get the card to post. Still no post in case. Can't see what could be causing a short. Rearranging the risers right now to see if is one of the risers causing a short, or maybe not enough clearance. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

MSI 970A-G45 will not complete POST - re-post

Well, we may never figure out why my board goes into it's POST looping every now and again so I am asking a different question this time.
I was asked to modify my signature to include my system profile, and I did so, and then it just seemed to be ignored, or maybe nobody had an answer, I am unsure, so I am just re-posting this so that maybe it'll catch someone's attention.
The bios is V1.4
Every once in a while (might happen twice in a day, might run fine for 3-4 weeks) the board won't complete the POST
Once the board is in this state, it will start to POST, but about the time it should initialize the keyboard or video, it restarts the POST process, checking the drives and such.
The only way currently to get the board to continue on and boot up is to either clear the CMOS (pain in the butt, because then I have to set everything up again, and the jumper is buried behind hard disks) or to pull one of the sticks of RAM so that the system recognizes a System Configuration Change. Removal of any and/or all other components makes absolutely no difference, nor does removing power.
If I do either RAM removal or CMOS clearing and power up, as soon as I see the keyboard initialize, if I pulled a stick of RAM I can shut it off, re-insert the ram, and power it back up, and all is back to normal. IE: whatever bit got flipped in the CMOS gets reset in this process. If I clear the CMOS to get it to boot, of course then I have to go into the setup and configure the RAID and other settings and then let it boot up normally.
SO: The question NOW is, is there a key I can press/hold that will reset the CMOS at power on, or is there some key I can press while it's posting, or some combination of keys during power up etc. so that I don't have to open up the case to get it to boot once it's locked in this looped mode?
I have thought of putting a SPDT momentary on/on front mounted switch wired to the CMOS Clear/run jumper for performing this, but I don't like the idea of what might happen if the system was accidentally powered up and the switch got flipped.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Component level electronic modifications to the board are not outside my scope of abilities as I do component level repairs on laptop motherboards.

If I was to take a guess to help, I'll start with your description of how you remove and reinstall your memory stick... Try running your sticks at base 1333 and see if the problem continues. You have listed a HUGE memory OC at 1800+. Your sticks are listed as 2000.. yea, with the correct tweaks you can get setting that work... but it's way off stock. Numbers for memory are not like other things in life, as in higher numbers equal faster. Do some teasting.. I have and found for example, that the difference between 1333/1600 is little gain..if any at all.
Also check your boards (on board) battery. A weak battery can also create problems. Possibly the battery is close to full voltage, but not.
I would not recommend the mod you refer to for not having to open, and open your case. Find and fix the problem instead.

HP installer will not detect networked LaserJet MFP M1536dnf just on some PCs

Hello,
this printer/scanner was working fine (printer still works fine via a Windows print server). Then scanning (via network) stopped working on one PC (Windows 7).
Tried to uninstall drivers / HP software and reboot. Then tried to install again - HP Installer will not detect printer on the network no matter what. I can ping the IP of this printer, access its web interface without any issues on the same PC. Tried specifying IP address in the installer - does not detect, the same issue with MAC address.
Had a Windows 8 machine with drivers / software installed on it, tested - scanning still worked fine on that PC. Tried to remove HP software to see if problem will appear. And it did! I cannot install the same software package which I still had in downloads - it will NOT detect the printer on network.
Upgraded printer firmware - no change, even though I don't expect this to be a printer issue as it worked fine until I have uninstalled software on this W8 machine.
Tried using HP Scan & Print doctor. That thing doesn't see printer/scanner installed and only suggest to download and install software which is not helpfull at all.
I also tried extracting HP installation files and finding *.inf files which could be used to add scanner via Windows directly, but haven't succeded with that (I would also be not sure how to specify network IP address in such a case anyway).
Any help is MUCH appreciated. We are kind of stuck...
Thanks!

Hi,
Run some diagnostics and see if any issues are discovered.
There have been reported issues with the NVIDIA 650 with some of the HP PCs. Additionally, most models of the NVIDIA 650 require a 400 watt power supply as the minimum and some models require a PCI six (6) pin power connector which the 300 watt power supply in your PC is not provisioned.
There is a BIOS update posted for your PC so you might want to consider installing that update.

My imac will not detect external monitor after recent update. Is there a way to fix this?

I have a VGA monitor plugged in to my imac using the VGA adapter to the mini-DVI. All was working well. Since I updated over the weekend, the computer will not detect the monitor.
Any ideas how to fix this?

Pcantin wrote:
I have tried another VGA monitor and that failed as well. Since you don't think the update was the cause, it may be that the adapter I am using decided to call it quits. I will see if I can find another and test that out.
I will look into the external drive idea as well.
Thanks for your help on this.
I didn't think about the adaptor, but you should at least visually inspect both the adaptor and the cable at both ends. If one or more pins got bent even slightly the connection might fail. The cables can also fail internally. Replacing the adaptor and cable may be the quickest thing to do initially. If you want to try to save money, first replace the adaptor, and if the problem persists, then go replace the cable (or vice versa).

IPod 4th gen grayscale will not detect usb connection.

Hello everyone, I have a iPod 4th gen grayscale and I'm running Ubuntu, everything has worked well for about a year now, I have been syncing my iPod through VirtualBox with Windows XP for as long as I have been using Linux, though, for some reason, my iPod has stopped noticing my usb being connected, I know it's not the usb cable, or the usb ports, I have restarted my iPod and put it into disk mode, still no luck, restarted my computer, Linux will not detect anything plugged in, nor will Windows, though my iPod shows the battery charging when plugged in, but iTunes will not detect the iPod.
I have switched the hard drive of the iPod out seeing if that was the problem, still no luck, my car dock will pick up the iPod and play music, so will my other docks, I thought it might of been Linux at first, so I plugged it into my desktop with Vista, it also will not detect it.
Does anyone have an answer to this riddle?

A bad USB hub will cause the problem ... are you using it ??

My wifi will not detect networks and will not search for other networks when I search for them. Do I need a new iPhone or can I fix it myself?

My wifi is on and when it tries to find a wifi connection, the gray little circle just keeps spinning and will not detect our home wifi. I have tried to search for it and connect to it manually, but it will not search for the network name. I'm hoping I don't need a new phone so please help.
