MSI 790XT-G45 Various Crashes - Frustrated

Prior to purchasing my MSI 790XT-G45 mainboard everything ran great. However after swapping out my old motherboard for this one I experience many various crashes in different games. Here is a list of some games that crash:
Lost Planet (this one worked prior to swap)
Black Site Area 51
Microvolts
World of Tanks
Games that do work:
Diablo2
Minecraft
Monopoly Here and Now Edition
Halo CE
Any Browser Games
I tried variations of drivers etc. etc. and I have even recently re-installed the whole OS and let windows 7 (yes I'm running 64 bit) pick out the drivers. These games that crash run great but then crash out of complete randomness. Lost Planet get's a windows error message like Microvolts. Blacksite get's more spefic error messages but do not tell any clues as to why those crashes happened. World of Tanks usually just crashes to Desktop without warning with a rare occasion of a Windows error message.

I noticed that in the bios it said my cpu speed was 2.97 Ghz while it's actually 2.7 Ghz. I don't think that'd be causing the problem though.
Remove any OC, go to BIOS setup and load bios defaults.

Edit: Just ran the windows memory diag and I saw it at 75% complete overall (halfway through pass 2) and there were no errors.
I've told you to use >>Memtest86<<, not windows memory diag.

MSI 790xt-g45 - BIOS not loading

Some time ago, a power surge occurred with no preventative measures. The computer was operational during the outage, and I did not unplug the computer. Upon powering on, there is no splash, beep, or anything of the sort. CPU fan is running, and all four APS LEDs are on.
Directly relevant specs are:
Hiper Type R Mk-II 680W power supply; attempted replacement with Silencer Mk II 750W power supply
MSI 790xt-g45 mobo
Is this borked beyond belief, or is there a chance that this may be recoverable?

Start by clearing the >>CMOS<< with the power cord disconnected.
Test with another stick of RAM.
Test with another CPU.
Test with another graphics card.
Disconnect the hard drive/s during testing.
Process of elimination really. By test each component in turn you'll hopefully find out what's wrong. May be worth taking the motherboard out of the case and running it bare bones on a piece of cardboard during testing.

MSI Z68MA-G45 (B3) Crash Issue

Hello,
I recently bought a brand new MSI Z68MA-G45 (B3) motherboard along with the following items:
CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3 RAM
Noctua DH-N14 Heatsink
850 Watt Viotek Pro PSU
Quad Core i7 2600k Processor
(if i need more specs added, please let me know.)
I have not yet added a graphics card into this rig but I plan to add a Radeon HD 6970 soon. I can not accurately determine if my problems are with the motherboard or the processor, but I randomly get system crashes. They seem random, no matter how hard I try to pinpoint their origin. I could be on netflix, playing a game, talking on skype, or just sitting idle. I am currently running at 4.0Ghz overclock, (was 4.5, lowered to see if that was the problem) which I setup when looking at a guide on this website. All my core temps are averaged around 30, so I do not think that is the problem either. When it does happen, the screen becomes fuzzy and freezes, and I hear a low buzz from my computer (or speakers?). If anyone could help me troubleshoot this issue, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Michael

It is disabled and set to 1600 MHz (correct).
XMP is disabled and its set to 1600 ? Did you set it manually to 1600 ? These modules default to 1333 if XMP is disabled.
Only add one RAM module. Then do a CMOS clear and remove the CMOS battery. >>Clear CMOS Guide<< And forget OC'ing for now.
Now restart and cycle through one OS boot.
Shut down and add the second module, and so on. Check if you are able to add all 4 modules sequentially without changing the default memory settings.
Lets try and establish if your system will run at stock with 4 modules for now.

MSI 790xt-g45 chipset driver

I bought a new 790xt-g45 mainboard,installed Xp Pro sp3,when i install the chipset driver a message appears saying-could not find driver for your hardware and os not supported.I'f downloaded the latest driver from msi and still receiving the same error mesage.When i use vista the chipset driver installs. Any one have a answer for me?

You used this driver? http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=driverfile&dno=2427&i=1

High latency with MSI 790XT-G45 under W7

I have decided myself to go for W7 one one of my rigs.I ve got some genuine disks of 32 and 64 and loaded W7 for testing purposes .
As my intention is to use the 790XT-G45 (considering it more W7 suited than my Platinum beeing newer more CPU support) tryed both W7 versions , but there is a problem.
Using the DPC high latency tool i get like 100 us under any W7 version with this 790XT-G45.The same board is ok latency wise under XP ,it hovers around 10-20 us when you re not doing anything serious with it .I have to remind that on this board i ve also had some issues with the big mouse cursor thing that seems to be related to motherboard latencyes.
In the past i ve used the K9A2 Platinum with W7 64 RC with the same video card and sound card that i use now on the 790XT-G45 ,but the latency was always 10-20 us.In fact trying again the Platinum gives me under W7 like 10-20 us.
I ve tryed disableing onboards ,removing the Creative and updating to latest BIOS version but no joy.The latency also adds some drag to the system i mean W7 windows don t look to snappy like it feels on Platinum.
So is this board compatible to W7 for real ?
What is so different between the 2 boards ,does the 790X have bigger latencyes than the 790 FX from the Platinum.One of the issues is that even if i would choose the Platinum CPU upgrade path closes.
I repeat i ve tested both boards with default W7 drivers and with vendors drivers and same thing.
Any user with 790XT-G45 encountering this under W7 ?
At first glance it s not a very big issue ,but i m very sure this 100 us get s me while playing to more and i really hate input lag and static on my sound.
Any ideas ?

Hi Guys,
I agree with Sm3K3R that a 70+ microsecond increase in average DPC latency will have an undesirable affect on some apps (games, real-time streaming, etc.). I also believe that what is good for XP will almost certainly not be good for Windows 7. Too much of the architecture has changed. Better drivers may help going forward. To me, the bigger question is why this mobo takes so much longer to run these routines than the K9A2.
I do not have any serious problems with the apps I run. Some of them may run better with a shorter average DPC latency. I have no way to tell with what I currently have to work with. Other bottlenecks may be in play. I was just responding to Sm3K3R's request for feedback. My power option is set to high performance and my base configuration has 41 processes running, including Diskeeper real-time defragmenter, Avira Antivirus, Logitech SetPoint, Process Lasso's process governor, PeerBlocker, and TaskDock. It also includes the Microsoft search functions and the sidebar with 2 gadgets running. Most of these processes run as services. I thought it was the search, sidebar, or one or more of the non-Microsoft products causing my base 100+ average latency indicated by the DPC high latency tool, so I ran LatencyMon to find out.
I ran it several times for 2 to 5 minutes at a time, starting when the system was idle. The Nvidia display and NT Kernel & System drivers always topped the list, with latencies from 50 to 114 microseconds. The display driver's routine also ran much more often than any thing else, followed, about 60% less often, by the NT Kernel & System driver. Thus these 2 drivers contribute the most to my average DPC latency. The other products listed above most often had 0 or less than 15 microsecond DPC latencies. Once I saw this, I did not bother to check my game configuration which does not have the search, sidebar, and the non-Microsoft products listed above in it.
During a Google search of this issue, I read that someone reduced their average Windows 7 DPC latency by 50 microseconds by turning off the HPET timer. I tried this and it did not work for me.
Looking forward to the results of Sm3K3R's further testing and feedback from others.

MSI 790XT-G45 headless possible?

Hi,
does anyone knows if this board can run without a graphics adapter?
I can buy this board to replace a MSI K9N Neo-F V3 because I need more SATA connections.
Is it possible to disable the graphics adapter/SLI in the BIOS?

What kind of mainboard are you currently using?

You're missing my point.
I highly doubt that. We are talking about Desktop board here, aren't we? I have not seen the ability to work without a video adapter in many Desktop boards. Server boards, yes. Desktop boards, no (here that kind of ability is rather the exception than the rule).

Th system is suppose to consume as little power as possible.
An onboard video chip does not consume a lot of power.

MSI 790XT-G45

I got a problem, I can't set the bios to more then 240 fsb without it going black and refuses to start.
The OC switch is off since I want to reach more then 20% OC with my AMD Phenom x4 9550 CPU
I cant get higher? Or can I change some setting to let go of the cap?
Got a good cooler so dont worry about that!

MSI 870-G45 - something odd is going on with MSI

Ok, this is convoluted but bear with me.
I bought the MSI 870-G45 (MS-7599 v2.x) motherboard from Newegg. Newegg listed the chipset as the AMD 870. However, when I received the motherboard, the manual states that the chipset is actually the RX 780 (a.k.a. AMD 770 a chip from 2007/08!), I checked in CPU-Z and confirmed this. I built a rig with this motherboard on 8/15/2010.
I have been having all sorts of issues. These include memory errors when running memtest86+ or HCI memtest.
Today I come on to the MSI website to do some research on the motherboard and I see that the MSI 870-G45 is now listed as a "NEW" product and the chipset is now the AMD 870, as I originally thought. In fact, MSI has two versions of the 870-G45, depending on what link you visit. See the two links below:
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=2070
http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=&prod_no=2019#menu
The version I ended up with is the one in the first link.
Now, I have the AMD Athlon II X4 635. The product info page at AMD states that the voltages should be between .85v and 1.25v. ( http://products.amd.com/en-gb/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=625 ) However, even though the BIOS of this motherboard (the version with the 770 chipset, which is the one I got) supports this CPU, the "Auto" CPU voltage setting sets the voltage at ~1.35v - above the specs specified by AMD! Wondering if this might also be a cause of the difficulties I am having, I lowered it to 1.12. Running some more tests to see if this has improved stability.
So, two versions of one motherboard, with confusing numbering and Auto voltage that exceeds the specs from the CPU manufacturer. What the heck is going on?
Another issue is that the manual states on page 2-6 (21 on the PDF) states that to be in dual channel mode, I need to put my two DIMM cards in the slots DIMM1 and DIMM2. However, further down the page under the heading "Important", it states:
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type
and density in different channel DIMM slots.
This seems to be contradictory, but it is probably just me. Does it mean I install the two DIMMs in DIMM1 and DIMM2 or DIMM1 and DIMM3?

Thank you both for your input. I mistakenly thought this was run by MSI. Feel stupid. But since you were so kind to respond, I'll post my full system specs as you suggested:
AMD Athlon II X4 635 CPU
MSI 870-G45 AM3 Motherboard
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ)
GIGABYTE 1GB GeForce GTX 460
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM
ASUS DRW-24B1ST SATA 24X DVD Burner
OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP 600W ( +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@25A, +12V2@25A, [email protected], [email protected] )
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Also just discovered that there are two versions of my CPU (C2 and C3 revisions). Perhaps that is where some of the confusion regarding voltages lie. Again, feel stupid.
Issues in a nutshell:
Computer ran fine for about 10 days. Then booted up a game and got crazy artifacts everywhere. Windows 7 also showed some artifacts when I went back to desktop. OS never crashed though. Windows has never crashed. Because of this, I suspected that my GPU went bad. Ran OCCT GPU test, Furmark and ATI tool and have artifacts on all three. Artifacts appear immediately upon starting test, so I don't think it is temperature related. Temp of GPU is under 40 C idle and highest under load is 77 C, which falls in line with what I read in reviews for card.
Now, before RMAing by video card with Newegg, I decided to download memtest86+ and run it. Just a hunch. I got an error on the first pass in test 2. However, I continued to run the test and saw no more errors. Ran the test again overnight for hours and could not recreate error. Thinking I may have gotten a false positive, I ran HCI Memtest (this one runs in Windows) and ran it for a few hours. That reported multiple errors as well. Now I am trying to run the test with one DIMM at a time to see if I can isolate which stick it is.
So I guess my questions are:
* What are the chances that I got a bad GPU and bad RAM from Newegg? Anything is possible but I thought that getting two lemons was unlikely, and when I then saw the discrepancies in the motherboard info on MSIs website I started to wonder.
* Could bad DRAM have any effect on GPU - as in displaying artifacts. Or would this strictly be a GPU issue?
* A member at another forum warned against leaving voltage settings in BIOS at Auto. This is what led me to look up the specs at AMDs website. What do you think about this recommendation.
Sorry if I came off a little harsh, I thought I was addressing MSI the company and was a bit miffed by two different versions of a board and with the fact that newegg was improperly stating the specs.
I appreciate any help you can give.

Dont know what graphic cards to get for 790xt-g45

Hey everyone. Im new around here and had a question. I have a computer with a 790xt-g45 motherboad was was going to upgrade my graphics card. I wanted to get 2 1gb cards but cant deside if i want to go with ATI or Nivida. I have a Nivida card now but I read online that this board is crossfire ready. Is it SLI ready too or is that just what MSI recomends? Any advice or info would help. Thanks!

Thats kinda what I got from everything I have read. If its says crossfire ready and nothing about nivida slr then its only ATI crossfire. Just wanted to make sure before I pick out a nivida card, order 2 then find out the board will only work with ATI crossfire and return and order something else. Thanks for the info!

MSI Z77MA-G45 limited Bios settings

Hi everyone,
I recently got a new motherboard for my 3770K, an MSI Z77MA-G45 and updated the Bios to Version 1.9.
I am a bit frustrated with this board because it doesn't provide some essential settings for overclocking:
- Cannot set the Turbo multipliers, it only allows to change the base frequency ones
- It won't let me specify custom Vcore voltages. It only allows me to select between a few offset values (+0.02, +0.04, +0.06)
Are the above limitations normal for the CPU+Board+BiosVersion combination?
I have seen on the web others with exactly the same board or the Z77A-G45, that provide lots of extra settings.
Is there an option in the Bios that would unlock extra settings ?
FYI, "Adjust CPU ratio in OS" is disabled.
Thank you!

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 02-April-13, 13:18:47
As mentioned, use the keyboard arrow keys to highlight the setting, then use the keyboard's 'numbers pad' + or - keys to change the value.
Thanks for adding the numlock and making that clearer Froggy Gremlin

MSI Z77A-G45 and Samsung 840 Series weirdness

Ok so here's the thing
about a week ago i decided that it was time to build a new computer with a Z77A-G45 motherboard
put it together, installed windows 7 64-bit and everything was working just fine - for about 5 days -
but then one morning when i turned on my computer it decided not to boot and just sat there with fans running with an A2 code at the bottom left of the screen
i tried taking out the ram leaving just 1 in and moving it to different slots and trying a different ram block boots thinking it might be faulty ram,
when that didn't work i tried removing the graphics card and boot with just the onboard VGA, reset the CMOS jumper, and even replaced that battery on the motherboard thinking the shop might have shipped an almost dead one, took everything apart and booted it outside the case on a glass surface to make sure it wasn't some sort of short
but the only time it actually wanted to get past the A2 code was when i booted with only 1 of my hard drives, so i started changing my drives around using various combinations of SATA cables and ports (luckily had an extra 5 SATA cables lying around)
eventually i narrowed it down to it wanting to boot with 2 of my 3 drives but the 3rd one (a Samsung 840 series 500 GB SSD, that has no system files or anything fancy other then music, movies and a few games at the moment) getting it stuck on the A2 code
so i set it up as an external USB drive with a SATA/USB converter i had sitting around but then it would get stuck on B4 instead if i booted with the drive connected
however everything would work just fine if i connected the drive after the system had booted up (or even just unplugging and replugging it when it got stuck on the B4)
once back in windows with the drive connected i ran all the diagnostics i could think of but nothing showed anything wrong with it
(and the only thing i had done with the drive before it stopped wanting to boot was to defrag it)
eventually i decided to copy all the files from the drive to a different drive and reformat it as sort of a hail-mary
and to my surprise that actually made it boot up just fine
so i moved it back inside the case as a normal drive just to make sure it would still work (which it did) and then moved all the files back to see if any of them were the culprit - that turned out not to be the case however
it booted up without complaint with all the original files on it
so now my question is why?
what the heck is going on?
did defragging cause some sort of data fault that caused the bios to not be able to read the drive properly or did i just buy a haunted computer?
like i said everything is back in the state it was the day before it didn't want to boot and bios and been defaulted so it's not really an issue at the moment but I'd still like to know what's going on so i can hopefully avoid it in the future
any answers or comments will be appreciated

This is strange
I have Z77A-G43, and have exactly the same problem with one 1GB sata drive, that works just fine in every other PC.
In my case PC run into restart loop, but with same code A2 as yours.
Strangest part was PC was restarting even if I put HDD into PCI Sata/Raid card !?
So I am guessing here its not a hardware problem, but a software (BIOS) problem.
Now whole pc with Z77A-G43 is at Service because of faulty DVI output (not working).
Will try reformating drive, but need first to buy >1gb hdd to backup that one
Drive is currently working just fine in this 10y old MSI PC =.=
It seams they have stopped making things as they used to, this old mb is one durrable dog.
which was the main reason I went to same company when in question was mb...

MSI Z77MA-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Motherboard z77 please help me

So i just got my MSI Z77MA-G45 LGA 1155 Intel Motherboard z77 slotted it all together all seemed fine untill it wouldn't recognize my hard drive. I currently dont have a dvd drive at the moment so i put all the files of the win7 and msi drivers on the same 8gb stick. When i search for storage intel and see compatible drivers it sees one in RAID which i install but nothing else seems to happen. Ive been in bios and switched it from ahci raid and ide, that ahci etc one and Raid appear to be the same out come ie no harddrive visable. IDE doesnt even load it gets to starting windows logo then black screen and yes a i checked the harddrive is on the bottom sata1. Is my motherboard just defective or is there anything else to try. Sorry i have no other computer to use other than my laptop hopefully get a dvd drive soon (in the post) and hopefully a ssd to see if its the harddrive but i dont think that will make much difference. Cheers for any advise

So now everything seems to be working fine, but when you are in windows, if you leave the computer at idle it crashes?
For now, go into uefi bios and hit f6 for optimized defaults.
Hit f10 save and exit.
Once you have entered the os, open cpuz and post screen shots of the spd tabs of each memory stick installed and the memory tab. (You can open multiple instances of cpuz and take 1 screen shot.)
*When you do this the bios will default to achi mode remember.
