MSI B85 G41 -- 2x PCIe 3.0 x16, 2x USB 3.0, HDMI, Error. [ Need major help! ]

The first error began when I booted my desktop up and my was black with a 9C on the bottom, my computer boots up fine. As I move on, the Ethernet connections have disappeared, no connections popping up nor any to connect to. Eventually I move my boot order to hard disk, (maybe?) fixing this 9C error, however my Ethernet still unconnected.I boot once more, now an A2 error plagues me.
TLDR; Booted from a 9C error, broken ethernet, and now stuck an A2 error.
Please offer any fixes to a complete newbie of desktops, motherboards and about everything else;willing to follow thoroughly.

Be aware it will show codes whether there is an issue or not as these are the steps of the booting process it goes through. Only if it stops at one certain code and won't continue there is an issue.try updating to bios 2.7:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash with 2.7
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip
When I boot from USB , a black screen appears with a blinking underscore. Also, when I boot from USB, two names of my USB appear. I followed Steps A-E correctly but booting from the USB gives a blank screen.

AC'97, HD AUDIO, and AZALIA pinout to MSI B85-G41??

Hi,
I am upgrading my seven year old MSI P-35 (7345) PLATINUM LGA775 Socket, to a MSI B85-G41 PC Mate LGA 1150 Socket.
If anyone has had the older Platinum P-35, or any other LGA 775 MSI board from seven years ago, and has recently undergone an upgrade,
Can you tell me if there are any issues I have to concern myself with, as far as plugging in the Front Audio. This board comes with HD. Is that the same as the AZALIA DIGITAL AUDIO PINOUT? I have not yet delved into this just yet, just preparing myself for any surprises that may occur.
I am using my old CoolerMaster 690 ATX case, and it does have the AC'97 plug, but after all these years I can't remember. Does this Azalea provide HD for the front audio? (My front audio is on top of the case, along with 2x2.0 USB,Audio/Mic,eSata, and Firewire) And of course, I have I/O inputs in the rear too.
So I guess I don't install anything different than last time, and I might have removed that AC'97 plug, ans instead plugged in the HD, if I had it back then, or if i had the coice of either,or..
Maybe what I'm talking about is I have two pinouts, one is the AC'97, and the other is HD AUDIO, which maybe changed the name to AZALIA. Once in the BIOS, I can try to "ENABLE BOTH", to front and rear audio.
In the next few days, I'll take my case outside and look around on the board, and all the wire connections, and will post back.

If the case has the plug for HD audio then that's the one to use.

MSI 945p Neo3, which pci-e does it have?

Hi
I have a rather old MSI 945p Neo3 motherboard, and my graphics card just broke down. As my computer is old, and money is limited, I've decided to take the budget approach to buying a new graphics card, but I need to know if it will be compatible with my old motherboard. From what I understand, the 945p Neo3 uses a first generation PCI-E slot, and while PCI-E cards usually are backwards compatible, I've heard of people who have had problems with the very first generation of PCI-E (1.0a), while the slightly newer first generation PCI-E slots work (1.1). The card that I'm looking at is a ATI Radeon HD 5450 (which is the second cheapest card I can find at the moment). Does anyone know if this card will work on my aging computer?

Standby and PCIE 2.0 x16 problem

Good day Forum,
I have encountered 2 issues with my setup (I will list the setup specifications below).
Standby issue: My computer is unable to go S1 nor S3 standby despite having a new operating system installed. Power settings set at Maximum Performance for Windows 7. When I clicked 'Sleep', the system will power down but it will power up again (without having the display shown). I have ruled out USB issues because I have taken out all USB peripherals connected to it right before it shuts down from standby and connected back again after it powered up.
PCIE issue: My PCIE 2.0 x16 graphic card is slots into the blue coloured PCIE 2.0 x16 slot. There are 2 PCIE-based cards which are connected to the motherboard via the PCIE slot but they are not connected to the 2nd PCI 2.0 x16 slot (hence, no reason for the speed to drop to x8). The issue here is not concerning the bandwidth of my graphics card but merely a question of curiousity as to why the interface speed drops from PCI-E 2.0 x16 to PCI-E x16 (v1.1). Any ideas? Here are some of the screenshots I took before and after:

To answer your second query, the following is extracted from MSI's website on your board's detail specifications.
Slots
• 2 PCI Express gen2 x16 slots
- If two graphics cards are installed at PCI_E1 & PCI_E2 slots, these two PCIE x16 lanes will auto arrange from x16/ x0 to x8/ x8
- supports ATI® Crossfire™ & NVIDIA SLI
• 1 PCI Express gen2 x1 slot (blue)

That's suppose to be. It's self adjust pci-e [1.xx <==> 2.xx] depend of VGA power needs.
When the VGA works in higher performance mode then will be auto switched to pci-e 2.0 automatically.

A new BIOS can help with this. If you already use latest BIOS for your mainboard, then you can ask msi about it here for further beta bios: http://support.msi.com/
P.S: Try turn off/Disable the "EuP 2013" BIOS option 1st, then retest

which version it is exactly?
and have you flashed to this version when you got the board?
If so do you include BIOS+ME Update? [required] not sure the bios file was just downloaded and then flashed in the bios via USB. does the MSI bios include the +me as standard?
bios was updated because we believed that was the issue but same problem. the bios version is
how many sticks are they?
have you tried with 1 memory stick only? then to see if reboot issue will persist
only 1 x 8 gb stick so not an option unfortunately
you mean CL11? yes sorry
its weird when the computer is up and running its fine just doesn't reboot

How far do the MSI z87-G41's OC capabilities extend?

First off; hi! I'm new here, but not to forums or PC hardware. I'm active over at anandtech and THG, and some gaming forums.
My question relates to my brand new MSI z87-G41 PC Mate. I'm a bit new to overclocking but not without a clue, however I just can not get the motherboard to let me change any voltage or multiplier settings.
Main Board: MSI z87-G41
Bios Version: Don't know. One that came in the box.
Video Card: PNY GTX 770@1332Mhz
PSU: Rosewill HIVE 550w. (38A, 456w)
CPU: i5 4670k
Memory: OEM 8GB (4x2GB) 1333Mhz 9CAS
SSD/ HDD: OEM Seagate 1.5TB 7200rpm. 4 years old
CPU COOLER: NZXT respire T40
Any Additional hardware plugged into your system: NAXT sentry 2 fan controller, OEM DVD burner, netgear w900 USB wi-fi stick
OC: Attempting
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I am trying to increase the voltage just a tad as I am game stable at 4.2Ghz but not p95 or F@H stable. (stock 1.12v) I have a good cooler and voltage is low so I am looking to push to ~4.4-4.6Ghz. I'd been adjusting with the Intel Tuning Utility to get it to 4.2, but it doesn't change voltage.
TIA
EDIT: Oh. Looks like this belongs in overclocking. :|
EDIT2: Well don't I look stupid. I needed to use numpad +/- and not the ones near the 0 and backspace. Nevermind then!

I tried multiple version of CCC, including old one and the new beta one, not one of them is working.
The card does show in the device manager but in a strange way : it is called in safe mod "Standard VGA" but if you follow those instructions :

Hello Mr. Sil3nt,
Thank you for your post. It is best to get your drivers from the hardware manufacturer, have you tried going to www.... ? You will need to know the make/model of your card in order to get the appropriate driver for your device. To do this, try the following:
Click 'Start' > Right-click 'Computer' > Select 'Manage'
Click 'Device Manager'
In the right pane, expand 'Display Adapters'
Below, you should see your video card, it may say 'Standard VGA'
Right-click this device and select 'Properties'
Select the 'Details' tab and scroll the bar to 'Hardware ID's'
You can then copy this info and put it into a web search that should yield results for your video card type.
From there, you can go to nvidia's website and download/install the latest driver for your card and operating system. Please let us know if this did or didn't help to resolve your problem.
Cheers
You find :

MSI TV@nywhere MASTER PCI TV Tuner card FAQ

So you’ve just decided to add a MSI TV@nywhere Master card to your PC, you’re gonna need some help installing it then!! Before you continue, I recommend you download the Unofficial New Drivers in the other sticky, to avoid any heart (and brain!) ache.
For best results also, you should be running at least DirectX 8.1. This is included on the driver CD, or you can download the latest version from Microsoft's DirectX Page. If you have a P4 which supports Hyperthreading, you will also need at least Windows XP SP2, otherwise you will have to disable hyperthreading in BIOS.
You should also be in the habit of having the latest drivers for your video card, audio card and motherboard chipset; this can also avoid any future TV software failure. And make sure you regularly run Windows Update (or use the Automatic Update feature) to keep your Windows clean and up-to-date. And also remember when installing new drivers or software, if the installer suggests you restart the computer then do so, before you install anything else! Drivers not installing correctly are common causes of problems, especially with this card!
INSTALLING THE HARDWARE
I’m presuming you’re familiar with the concepts of building and upgrading PCs, so I won’t go into too much detail on obvious stuff (like “remove the side panel of your case, locate a free PCI slot…”).
Fit the TV@nywhere Master card into a free PCI slot. If you didn’t get one with it, you’ll need a CD-audio lead from somewhere (the thin grey lead). If you have one connected between your CD drive and your soundcard CD-Audio In connector, then use that, any version of Windows after 98 supports digital audio extraction, so it is not needed there now. Connect one end of the audio lead to the 4 pin header on the TV@nywhere card and the other to the AUX input on your soundcard (or motherboard if using onboard). If you are installing the Mega TV Tuner in a Mega series barebones, connect it to the TV audio input on the mainboard to the rear. Don’t worry about using the 3.5mm jack plug lead to connect tv card audio, we don’t need it now, doing it this way.
CONNECTING YOUR TV SIGNAL
Depending on your global location, this may vary. Either way you need to connect either a aerial (ANTENNA) or cable (CABLE) to the CATV connector on the card. Someone will no doubt clarify this for me, but cable is for US-type cable, which doesn’t need a decoder box. Most people will be using the Antenna I’m guessing. Your choice of CABLE or ANTENNA needs to be remembered, you’ll need this later.
You will not be able (or have limited success) in connecting a video recorder or set-top box to the CATV connector. Instead you will need to use the Composite or S-Video connector, and connect the audio source either directly to the soundcard or to the Line-in on the TV card.
INSTALLING THE DRIVER
Don’t use the driver on the CD. Download the latest driver from the MSI download page. If you are a Mega series user, make sure that Windows has been installed onto the C: drive. If not you’ll have to reinstall, and disable the USB controller in BIOS to prevent the card readers becoming the C: and D: drives. This also causes problems later.
I would advise temporarily disabling any anti-virus programs at this point, to avoid any complications.
When you start up after first installing the card, cancel any Found New Hardware wizards that appear. OK, so extract the contents of the downloaded ZIP, and run the PVSSetup.exe file to install the drivers. Once this is complete, RESTART your PC and the drivers will be installed for the new hardware found.
Check in Device Manager, there should be four new hardware listed under Sound, Video and Game Controllers related to MS8606. If you see any with the (?) next to them, you might need to try the card in another slot.
INSTALLING THE MSIPVS TV SOFTWARE
If you wish to use other TV recording software other than MSIPVS then please feel free to do so.
MSI do not make their own software. At least not all the time. MSIPVS is a rebranded version of Intervideo’s WinDVR software, with extra features added such as network streaming for TV@nywhere. Some people love it. Lots of people hate it. Generally most people who have posted here hate it. People who love it tend not to post if they don't have problems. The people that hate it generally mess initial settings up, which can cause problems when they try to change it. The more patient of us will always get it eventually right!
Install the MSIPVS software. Easy as that. Its setting it up correctly that’s the tricky part. Listed below are the main things to look for when performing initial setup. If you are unsure about anything else then read the manual! Only a complete genius would dare install any unfamiliar hardware without having the manual handy for reference - how do you suppose I learnt anything?
Device
Video Input:
"Device" is always the Conexant Cx2388x Video Capture"
"Source" - select TV if you are connecting your signal to the CATV connector (antenna or cable), select S-Video or Composite if using these instead
"Standard" - set this to your local TV standard, eg if in UK set to "PAL-I". if unsure, do a Google search and find out!!
If you don't set these correctly you won't receive any channels and/or they will appear incorrectly.
Audio Input:
"Device" will be your soundcard or onboard audio device
"Source" will be the connector your TV card audio output is connected to, this will be "TV" on Mega series, otherwise check!! If you connected the internal lead to AUX on your soundcard or mobo, then set it to "AUX". If you used external lead to connect to Line-In, this will be "Line-in" etc etc.
If you don't set these correctly you may or may not hear audio while watching live TV, and you will hear no audio on recorded TV.
TV
Tuner:
"Input" will be Antenna if you have an aerial connected, or Cable if you are connected to unencoded cable TV.
"Country or Region" - if need to explain this one then maybe you shouldn't have this card!
Channel
Now we will see if your settings and TV signal are good! Tick the Freescan box, and then click on Autoscan. This may take a while, and for a short time it may appear that the program is doing nothing. Patience! It will soon start, and then pick up any available channels it can find.
Make sure you have a good strong signal if you are using an aerial, otherwise TV@nywhere won’t pick up as many channels. UK viewers – just using a simple set-top aerial and signal booster, I could even receive Channel Five (or “five” as it is known now!)
So at this point now, if all has gone well, you should be able to watch and record TV on your PC! If it hasn't...

"I've lost my CDs and MSIPVS needs a serial number to install!"
MSI in their wisdom printed the serial key for MSIPVS on the actual CD. This serial key is the same printed on EVERY CD. Which kind of defeats the object in my humble opinion. Anyways, the answer can be found in this post: MSIPVS requires serial number!
"When installing MSIPVS, the program hangs then shows a message saying "remote procedure call failed" "
If you are a Mega user, you have installed Windows onto a partition other than C:. You will need to reinstall Windows, making sure you disable USB controller in BIOS, so that the card readers do not take up C: and D: drives. Upon first restart (after Windows has created partition), you may re-enter BIOS and enable USB controller before Windows continues installing itself.
"MSIPVS installs, but when I start the application I get an error message "WinDVR has caused a problem and needs to shutdown" "
hpkuo credits this to sizzle in his hints and tips thread, but I'll elaborate a little. The problem is caused by QuickTime codecs installed by Nero 6.3.1.15. It is unclear whether later versions of Nero were fixed, but earlier versions should be okay. "A "quick fix" is to rename the files "NeQTADec.ax" and "NeQTVDec.ax" in "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter\"."
Another alternative suggestion is to uninstall the codecs from the registry. I found this solution in another forum for another TV card with same problem:
Go to Start > Run (or press Windows key + R) and enter:
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter\NeQTADec.ax"
regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\DSFilter\NeQTVDec.ax"
The only consequence seems to be that Nero Vision can’t decode Apple Quick time format after this (something I can live with)
If you do require QuickTime codecs to be installed, there is the Quicktime alternative available from here: http://www.free-codecs.com/download/QuickTime_Alternative.htm . Or you could just use an earlier version of Nero.
PS if you are using a non-english setup of Windows, then the above paths will relate to how windows translates on your PC - ie subsitute Program Files etc for your local translation
"I have connected the external audio lead to the Line-In (blue) jack on my mobo, and set it correctly in MSIPVS, but I hear no TV sound"
If your mobo supports 5.1 speakers but only has three jacks on rear, the Line-in and Mic jacks have been configured to act as Rear Speaker and Center/Sub outputs. If you have only two speakers, they should be connected to the green Front Speaker jack. You will need to go into your audio hardware's configuration panel / Windows Audio Device Properties to correctly configure the rear jacks.
The other alternative is to use the internal audio connector - simply use a CD-audio lead to connect it to the AUX or CD internal connector on your mobo or soundcard. CD audio leads (the analog grey lead from your CD drive to the soundcard / mobo CD audio connector) are redundant now, as Windows now uses digital audio extraction through IDE channel. Make sure you set the audio signal correctly in MSIPVS to match this.
"When I start up Windows I can hear a hissing like "static" / the radio is playing"
One issue that was fixed in the latest Drivers; if that still doesn't work then the Radio volume is not muted at Windows startup. I'll let hschroed take over here:
"Both MSI Radio and MSI PVS, unmute the TV card at program start, and mute the TV card at SUCCESSFUL program exit (remember we are not talking about the soundcard mixer state here). What this means is as long as a single program start and a single SUCCESSFUL program exit takes place, the TV card tuner will be muted, regardless of what the soundcard mixer audio source states are. If the PC is rebooted (without a PC power-off), for whatever reason, while the MSI Radio or MSI PVS program is executing (a successful exit has not been performed), the TV card will remain in an unmuted state until the next startup and successful exit of either of the two programs.
The TV card mute/unmute status is carried over a reboot without PC power off. What this means is that after a PC power on, once the TV card has been properly muted by a start and successful exit of the MSI program, the TV card mute/unmute status should be in proper synchronization with the applications (regardless of the soundcard mixer status), as long as the PC is not powered off. (Romulus mentions computer coming out of standby. I did not test that scenario but I would expect that if going into standby means power is stopped to TV card, the effect would be similar to a PC power off)."
"My regular TV receives all 5 channels (even Channel Five!), but when I connect aerial to TV@nywhere I only get 3"
Common to all TV tuner hardware (not just MSI's!) is the need for a good strong signal. A moderate signal might appear okay on a regular domestic TV, but might not be strong enough for the TV tuner hardware. Consider investing in a good signal booster, or getting your aerial changed.
Consequently, I have also learned today that TOO strong a signal is bad for TV tuner cards, as soon as I know more I'll let you know...
"I have connected my VCR to the CATV connector, but it does not appear when autoscanning."
"I cannot receive any channels when I connect my Sky box to the RF (CATV) connector."
Thanks to a wonderful technology called "Macrovision" protection, many VCRs and satellite/cable boxes won't work in this way by connecting them using their RF output. Anyone who gets a result is very lucky. There's always the Composite and S-Video In connectors to try. But either way, the TV@nywhere card won't scan all their channels, you'll still have to change them manually.
"Windows XP Media Center says that my "tuner hardware is malfunctioning or not installed" but I have installed the latest TV@nywhere drivers from MSI"
Neither the Vox or the TV@nywhere cards are compatible with MCE2005. MCE2005 requires an analogue TV card capable of hardware MPEG2 encoding, or a software DVB-T (digital) card that already receives an MPEG2 video stream over-the-air.
You can however still use the Vox or the TV@nywhere using the MSIPVS software outside of the MCE2005 application.
"MSIPVS keeps defaulting my location back to Afghanistan, even though I set it to US / UK/ Sweden / Latvia / Kazahkstan"
You will need to reinstall the drivers and software due to a glitch. Uninstall MSIPVS and the tuner drivers (with its PVSSetup.exe setup program) then restart your PC, and ignore the Found New Hardware wizard. Install the tuner drivers with the PVSSetup.exe program, then restart your PC. Then install MSIPVS, restart your PC and you're good to go again!
"Where can I find these "Unofficial New Drivers" that people keep referring to here?"
The "Unofficial New (BETA) Drivers" became obsolete when MSI officially released them. You can find them on the Product Support page for this card, as they are now the latest drivers. MSI TV@nywhere Master product page

MSI B85-G43 and i5-4460

Hello
I'm planing to buy a new computer set with that motherboard MSI B85-G43 and i5-4460. On official MSI site I read Haswell-Refresh processors
are supported from Bios v3.7. There is my question here. Will the i5-4460 boot with a MSI B85-G43? I mean can I able to enter to BIOS and update it with a new version?
I don't have an older processor which work and supported on 100% on this motherboard.

Thanks for answer and I think I will take standard Haswell instead Haswell Refresh. I don't want to have any problems. i5-4570 should be fine.
Anyway or btw. Is RAM memory Crucial Ballistix 2x4GB (BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00CEU) supported on this motherboard? I didn't see them on list (maybe is out of date) so I want to ask before buy.
edit// I found Crucial Ballistix is supported https://pcpartpicker.com/parts/memory/?compatible_with=msi-motherboard-b85mg43

This tiny system measures only 3.7” x 12.6” x 12.99”
I don't see any way that card could fit.
Besides, you miss the point of these 'ultra-small form factor' units, they are designed as low-consumption, simple desktop PCs. Not everyone wants to play games on a PC, some people just like to browse the net, send/receive emails, watch/listen to videos/music, and type letters. Thats the market these units are aimed at.
If you want a machine you can put a 5700-series (or other equivalent) graphics card for gaming, then MSI's small-form factor systems are not for you.

MSI Z77A-G41 Boot Problems

Just bought the mobo brand new, with ram & cpu connected everything spins up but no output to display, if I add gfx still no output to display, if I add my ssd the following happens h**p
I have tried all 4 sticks of ram in dimm 2 slot and same problem persists. I have tried a blank HDD non SSD and nothing outputs to display, tried an alternate blank SSD no output, tried a DVD RW no display.
My assumptions are that CPU isn't faulty given that it briefly posts with the SSD, the RAM could be the issue if the mobo is picky but doubt all four sticks are faulty.
For info the Windows 8 installation on the SSD is from a previous build and if I could get it to post would format and reinstall.
Is the mobo faulty or are the parts incompatible? Any suggestions gratefully received, thanks.
Full list as follows
MSI Z77A-G41
i5-2500k
120GB Corsair Force 3
16GB (4x4) Kingston Hyper X Genesis Grey DDR3
Corsair 650w PSU

Most of the time, that is never going to work.
What connection method are you using to connect to a monitor? Onboard graphics or discrete card? And what is the monitor model?
I never intended the SSD to work, however by connecting the SSD with the windows installation on it is the only way I have been able to get anything to display.
I could only get the VGA connection to work connected direct between the mobo and my monitor, hdmi doesn't. My 560ti won't display anything either.
The monitor is a Digimate something or other but have had it several year with no real problems.
Thanks

MSI Theater 550 PRO PCI - Video IN problems

Hello everyone,
This is my first post - I have an MSI 865 with a ATI All in Wonder 9600 working wonderfully in the AGP slot (MMC 9.13). I purchased an MSI Theater 550 PRO and slotted it in the PCI slot - installed the drivers from the bundled CD and the PowerCinema 3 application - the TV portion of the card works but the Video IN / S video In - does not work - displays only a black blank screen in the MMC 9.13 and in the PowerCinema the button for capture / preview is grayed out - is my card defective?
I tried to install the patch / upgrade from the MSI site for the VideoCapture to work but it fails saying that PowerCinema 4 is required to apply the patch.
What should I do?
Please help..

Yes, I certainly do get an excellent picture when I to the AIWs Composite IN / S Video In Dongle.
I have also tried to use another capture / display program - Media Center Classic (part of the K-Lite Codec Pack) and it too shows that the AIWs IN is working but the THeater 550 shows only a blank screen.
BTW I have installed the latest drivers from the ATI site (the ones with control panel and the C++ update).
The Dongle of the 550 Pro is alright (I checked it by connecting it to the AIW - so the problem doesnt lie there).
That leaves only two options - 1. Defective Card (most probably)
2. Some software problem (less likely - but highly sought)
Please do reply and let me know if you have come across this problem with the MSI Theater 550 PRO PCI with anyone else and how they have solved if they did.

[MSI B85-G43] Windows freezes watching videos

Hello folks,
My computer is freezing when I watch streams on Twitch and sometimes on Youtube too.
It also happens when I watch movies using Media Player Classic.
I can play games for hours and the system never got stucked.
Can somebody help me?
My specs are:
MOBO: MSI B85-G43 GAMING LGA
PSU: EVGA 500W 100-W1-0500-KR 500W, 80 Plus
GPU: EVGA GTX 970 FTW
RAM: DDR3 Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10B 8GB 1600MHz
Processor: Intel Core i7-4790k 4.0GHz 8MB 4ª Geração LGA 1150
Ps. Sorry for bad english, it's not my main language. :D

I was using Windows 8.1, but I formatted my pc and installed win 7 professional.
The problem happens on both OS.
When I get home I'll try to remove my GPU and test only on Intel HD 4600.
In other forums, I told that my Intel HD was not showing on "System Device's", they told me that it's normal, since my motherboard only uses the GTX, but I don't know. In my opnion, this video/stream it's Intel HD responsability.
I also read something about i7-4790k voltage on the BIOS, but I don't have no clue about what voltage it should or should not be. There are some people that had this problem becaus Intel Turbo Boost too, when I get home I'll check that too.

MSI Z87 G41 PC MATE GRAPHICS CARD ISSUE

Hey gus,
Yesterday I put together a new build, however I can only get integrated video to output to the monitor and not my discrete GPU. I have updated the bios to 1.4 from 1.2, made sure the GPU in question works (by trying on another machine) tried different cables etc etc. When I go into the BIOS I see there are two options for PEG and IGD modes. Default is PEG which is what it should be set to I would think. If anyone knows a fix for this issue please help! Thanks!
MOBO: MSI Z87 G41 PC MATE
PSU: THERMALTAKE 600 WATT
CPU; i5-4670K
GPU: GTX 560

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Use option 1 pointed directly at the attached archive or run the bat file from pure dos.
This is bios 1.4
Make sure this is your board prior to flash: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z87-G41-PC-Mate.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win8.1 64
You will need to re-install the ME drivers after the flash.
