MSI A88X-G45 Dual mode graphics help

Greetings I bought the A88X-G45 GAMING AC edition with an AMD 7850k APU, the Radeon gamer series 2133 DDR3 and the Sapphire R7 250 2GB
I would love to enable this amazing Dual mode that AMD so proudly shows but i get issues. and yes i googled myself to dealth before coming here.
First of all there is like NO Tutorials anywhere usefull to the MSI brand on how to dual mode your graphics. Heres is what i have done.
(1st) i watched this
(2nd) I installed the card and put my HDMI into the Cards output like shown. When i turned on the computer i got a windows 8 unsigned device error and had the choice to disable the support or run set up.. well you get one choice in the end cause it loops over till you disable windows 8 support.
(3) set the output to IGD and selected dual mode with a 2GB shared memory. save and reboot i also put my HDMI to the onboard output just like the video after reboot the computer shows the boot screen then the rotating circle as windows loads. Then Nothing a black screen. The computer is running but no display. just a black screen there must be a signal going to the monitor as there is no "NO Signal Detected" popping up it's just a black screen nothing more.
So i restarted the computer went to advanced settings and put the output to (PEG) saved and restarted the computer and all i got was "No Signal Detected" on my monitor so after after a while i rebooted the computer and put my HDMI to the card this time. All was good the computer boots and windows loads onscreen. I installed AMD Catatlyst 14.4 and it shows a dual mode option but says for best results i should use the primary graphics port. and the green arrow points to my APU but every time i try all i get is a black screen.
So MSI why do you not have proper detailed instructions on how to make this work. Thanks

I tried MSI R7 250 2GD3 OC and the dual graphic works when output from on-board VGA.
Did you set share memory as default setting?
I set it as default but did not see any issue.
Hope it is helpful info.

MSI A88X-G45 Gaming + 16GB G.Skill TridentX 2x8GB 2400mhz... Memory Missing...

Hello,
Im having a problem that i don´t know if it is CPU related or Board related...
I have today recieved the new memories...
The Gskill Trident X 2x8GB 2400mhz 1.65v 10-12-12-31.
So in total is 16gb of ram.
I putted on the board powered up... System recognized memory alterations and ask me to go to bios.
So far so good...
I went on bios an choosed the XMP on the board that correctly detected the timmings and voltage.
Saved and reseted.
I then entered again in bios and started to notice that only 8GB of my 16GB are visible to the system...
The board detect BOTH dimms, and even in board explorer they are marked on the slots, but i don´t understand where is the rest of the memory...
The board is an MSI A88X-G45 Gaming and im using the last bios 1.5.
I went to windows, and in CPU-ID it detects the 16gb of memory, but on task manager it says i only have 8gb available...
I can´t make any sense of this contraditory information...
Can anyone help me????
I have putted the memory on the recomended slot positions (2 and 4)

MSI A88X-G45 GAMING code 11

I got my new setup back in May of this year. Haven't had any issues except just today. While browsing the internet and playing Runescape getting ready to play some Dota2. When my screen kind of went all pixel'ated like all different colors then shut down.
It won't even start now. I can't even force it to post by unplugging everything except cpu/fan and one stick of ram. It won't even post and it displays 11 on the digit display on the board. After looking in the manual that came with it. It says it is a Early CPU initialization. I have no idea what that means.
I had my friend who knows more about hardware come over and look at it. And he said it is most likely a motherboard issue.
So what do you guys think? If it is a motherboard issue how do i send the board back.
Motherboard: MSI A88X-G45 GAMING

Use vga connection for display as hdmi might not work well on early post level.
If still no luck you will have to rma the board.

MSI Z77A-G45 Motherboard Overclocking/BIOS help!

Hello everybody
I've been having quite a bit of trouble with my MB/BIOS being unable to push the OC beyond 38/3.8GHZ and the RAM won't go further than 1600MHZ.. Now i was able to do this before (Had a stable 4.4GHZ with 2133MHZ RAM speed.. i'm not quite sure what's stopped me from being able to OC more than these stated values, however in ClickBIOS i can OC higher than i can in the BIOS menu on startup itself but the settings don't apply correctly
I have a I5-3570k CPU, MSI Z77A-G45 MB, Crucial Ballistix Elite 2x4GB 1600MHZ, MSI 560ti GTX

MOVED: MSI Z77A-G45 Motherboard Overclocking/BIOS help!

BUMP
Oh yeah, so not only can i not overclock my pc anymore, it's decided to crash on me every 30 minutes, doesn't restart.. I've tried using a different PSU (Same 750w, different brand), I've tried it with one stick of RAM and the other, Taken the graphics card out, re-applied thermal paste on the CPU, All temps are fine (I don't have to be playing games, i could be sat idle and it will still turn off)...
I was originally thinking it's the PSU that's failing but now i'm thinking it's my motherboard. Thankfully i'm replacing it soon, but this has been a very trying period.

Re: MSI A88X - G45 GAMING ERROR d5 or P5

Hi! i have more or less the exact same specs, and had the same problem(on both mine and a friends with same specs a few weeks later).
What i did was to remove as many ram as possible, and then boot into slow mode (activate slowmode on the motherboard)....

Did you renew vga driver before?

MSI A88x G45 Gaming Motherboard

Hello..
I would like to ask why did MSI revert the power phase of this board to a much lower 4+2 power phase?
on CES launch it is said that it was an 8+2 power phase..
Also does this mother board has 3 slot pcie 3.0 x16 configuration??? and not the traditional 2 slot pcie 3.0 x16 and 1 slot pcie 2.0 x16??

you have to ask MSI for the phase question
For the PCIE part, I checked the msi web and saw below info.
- PCI_E2 supports PCIe 3.0 x16 speed*
- PCI_E5 supports PCIe 3.0 x8 speed*
- PCI_E6 supports PCIe 2.0 x4 speed
• 3 x PCIe 2.0 x1 slots**
* Only FM2+ processors can support PCIe 3.0
In short, only PCI_E2/PCIE_E5 support PCIE 3.0 x16 if you use FM2+ CPU

MSI A88X-G45 motherboard question

Will this motherboard be compatible with windows vista 64-bit?

Yes. Vista has just been forgotten as even XP is listed.

A88X G45 Gaming losing display signal

I have just rebuilt my computer. I elected to go with the A88X G45 gaming motherboard with an AMD A10-5800K Trinity Quad Core 3.8 GHz. G. Skill Ripjaws X Series 8 GB DDR3 SDRam 2133(PC17000) (2x4 GB).
When I start the computer, I do not hear any beeps at all which I found interesting. I log into the BIOS and it recognizes everything installed and which ports are being used. I am using the onboard graphics card until I get everything set up and then I will add a separate GPU. After installing Windows 7, I log on to update the drivers before doing anything else. I have done this 2 times, once from the DVD provided with the board and once from a flash drive downloading the current ones off the msi website. After installing the chipset drivers and rebooting back into the Windows desktop, the monitor will go blank and state "no signal." This happens between 15 seconds and 5 minutes. I have tried the DVI, VGA, and HDMI ports on the board and get the same result with all of them.
The lights on the board stay on and the fans are still running. The reset button and power button do not do anything and the only way to power down is to turn off the power supply, which I hate to do. The LED table that displays codes does not show anything as if it is off. My mouse and keyboard similarly shut off.
I have tried checking the RAM, updating the BIOS, removing everything except RAM, CPU and PSU and still get the same result. I have 5 fans plugged in including the CPU fan.
I am really at a loss here and cannot figure out why I keep losing display connection and having the board essentially lock up. Any advice is greatly appreciated. First time forum user.
Thank you.

Hi,
Please follow this >>Posting Guide<< in more detailed way (PSU, OS etc).
Also did you try clearing CMOS? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also when this started to happen? As which parts are new and which old.
Main Board: MSI A88X G45 Gaming
Bios Version: v1.2
Video Card: On board
PSU: Corsair 750W
12v rail Rating of listed PSU: Unsure
CPU: AMD A10-5800K Trinity Quad Core 3.8 GHz
Memory: G. Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB DDR3 2133(PC17000) (2x4GB)
SSD/ HDD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB SSD
CPU COOLER: Stock cooler that came with CPU
Raid Card:
Sound Card: On board
Any Additional hardware plugged into your system: LG optical
OC: (Yes / No) NO
Operating System: Windows 7 Home 64 bit
I have tried clearing the CMOS with the button on board but have not tried taking out the battery. Everything that is currently installed is brand new (Board, CPU, RAM, Optical, SSD) with the exception of the PSU. I have had the PSU for a few years and have not had any issue with it on my old build. I was using my old build 3 days ago, got the board, CPU, RAM, Optical, and SSD all the same day and installed it. When I am on the BIOS screen, the display connection stays on and I do not have any issues. Similarly, I do not have any issues when I run Windows in Safe Mode. Only when I log into Windows normally will the screen go blank and lock up the board.

Hello,

On fresh windows instalation sound is working but when i install my drivers given on cd or downloadwd from MSI site my sound is not working.
One moment sound icon in system tray in normal next when i try to do something like try config sound device it sitches to disabled.
If I try to open some program using driver says : no audio devices are installed, when i click repair in troubleshoot sound problems it say it is fixed,
but in a few sec if you try to do anything sound is back to disabled. If u go in speaker properties it say the device you are configuring has been removed.
When i deinstall drivers i have sound but offcourse i want my drivers to work properly my config :

A88x-G45 Gaming will not post

Motherboard: MSI A88x-G45 Gaming
CPU: AMD A8 6600k Quad-Core
RAM: 8 GB of 2x4 GB sticks of Patriot Viper PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 PD000368 PVL38G160C9KB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500 GB
PSU: VisionTek 650w
BIOS: (Im assuming, since I cant boot into it, but it does give this on the "F1,F2" screen) E7900AMS V1.0
Ive reset the CMOS, Ive tried one stick at a time in every slot, Ive tried numerous keyboards and mice, Ive tried it out of the box, Ive tried it with several HHDs, Ive tried VGA and HDMI monitors.
I get stuck on the "99" error and after CMOS resets, it asks to press F1 or F2 and both freeze it up immediately.
Ive even made a bootable USB to update the BIOS, but it doesnt even some close to recognizing it... I drove 5 hours today to pick up this setup and am not looking forward to having to drive it again to return it... I would greatly appreciate some help with this...

Ended up being two bad memory sticks... I drove a total of 10 hours in two days, then got home and put it all together... They tested both new sticks and when I got home, one stick was bad... When did memory get to be so fragile? I used to toss it around like a bean bag... Ugh, so one more trip back to replace my memory again... Anyways, I got the rig to run, but I only have 4GB in it for the moment. So, question, is one 8GB stick better than two 4GB?
