MSI H61M-P31/W8 Windows 8.1 No Mouse or Keyboard

Hi folks,
There seems to be an issue with a Win 8.1 update (around the start of November) that breaks the mouse and keyboard, specifically it breaks USB.
I managed to boot my machine up with PS2 mouse and keyboard, and Device Manager had two devices with the following error:
"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)"
These devices are:
Intel(R) 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enchanced Host Controller - 1C26
Intel(R) 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enchanced Host Controller - 1C2D
I've tried updating the drivers, but with no success.
The general solution seems to be to turn off "Intel XHCI mode" in BIOS, but there's no such option on this motherboard, and nothing that seems related.
Anyone know if this is definitely the same Win 8.1 issue, and know if there's a way to fix it?
TIA

Yes, and it made no difference.
In fact oddly the system almost ground to a halt, with very slow disk access (in a system with an SSD).
I'm reinstalling 8.1 as I need a working system ASAP.
I'll see what happens following application of updates...

Installing a HD 7870 XT 2GB GDDR5 with Boost graphics card on a MSI H61M-P31 G3

Hi,
I have a MSI H61M-P31 (G3) motherboard in my PC and I recently purchased a HD 7870 XT 2GB GDDR5 with Boost graphics card. Before purchasing as far as I could tell the graphics card was compatible with the motherboard. However, what seems to be a similar issue with a lot of people installing new graphics cards is that when I put it in my PC and boot it up the monitor doesn't recieve any signal from it and stays blank. I have installed the drivers, including the optional ones, and they don't compete with my old graphics card drivers because they are the same AMD Catalyst Control Centre. I have trawled the internet and tried numerous things but nothing has worked. Is there a fix or are the componenets just not compatible?
Thanks in advance.

MSI H61M-P31 (G3) Motherboard will work with intel i3?

I have a MSI H61M-P31 (G3) Motherboard and I am wondering if I can use Intel Core i3 3220 Ivy Bridge Dual Core Processor with it?
will I need to update my bios if so how do I do that?

So yes you need to update the bios to at minimum 2.4
I have attached the latest for you.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Use option 1 and point the tool at the compressed archive. (Do not decompress or extract the files)
Then point the tool at your fat32 formatted flash drive.
Boot to the usb and proceed with the flash.
also another question can I get Intel CPU Core i3 2120 Sandy Bridge without updating because it's a Sandy Bridge?

MSI 7788 (MSI H61M-P31) motherboard, intending to use 1.6V memory modules

Hello,
I am intending to purchase a dual channel kit of geil black dragon memory modules. The modules are working at 1.6V. As far as I remember, the moobo specs says that it supports 1.5V dual channel memory modules.
In BIOS, there is the option to change the memory voltage, but it gives me 1.65V.
Should I proceed and purchase the memory modules or I should go for standard 1.5V ?

I have dismounted the CPU cooler asembly after a continous burn in procedure and I achieved 120 celsius degree. I checked all the mosfets and the coils, all of them were cold. Speedfan didn't show that sensor reading.
I have installed though AIDA64 and it seems to find that reading as "AUX".

Windows Server 2003 No Mouse or Keyboard

Hi,
After a hard reboot (accidentally being unplugged) I have no mouse and keyboard input. I am stuck on the Login Screen. I am using a hard wired USB keyboard and mouse and I don't have a PS/2 on the computer. Accessing the computer remotely is not an option
because I can't login to start any programs.
Thanks

MSI H61M-P31 Wake on LAN

Any idea's how to get WOL working on this board?
As soon as it goes to sleep or shuts down (S5) the NIC is dropping the connection and doesn't respond to the magic packet.
Tried various BIOS settings including disabling EUP2013, enabling Wake on PCI/PCIE, both BIOS and OS control for the power management. Also tried the latest MSI and the latest Realtek drivers on Win 7 64-bit.

Look here: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/wake-on-lan

Boot-camp/Windows with cordless mouse and keyboard

I am picking up my 27" quad core iMac tomorrow. In anticipation I bought the Pogue book on Snow Leopard. In it he says that you can't install Windows with the cordless mouse and keyboard but that once installed it can be used with the cordless mouse/keyboard. Will someone please tell me he is wrong .
Thanks.
Alan

I used mine to install Windows. Worked just fine till the Apple Bluetooth drivers were installed, then I just had to connect a regular USB keyboard/mouse to pair the bluetooth keyboard and mouse again.
One suggestion, after you install the Boot Camp drivers and plug in your USB keyboard/mouse, uninstall the "Apple Bluetooth" drivers (I believe there are two of them) and restart your computer. Let Windows automatically install generic drivers for the built in bluetooth, THEN pair your wireless keyboard and mouse. After that you can reinstall the Apple bluetooth drivers if you want, although I don't think it's particularly necessary. The generic drivers seem to work fine in my experience.
You may run into trouble pairing your keyboard and mouse, if so, refer to the "Boot Camp" section on this site, there are millions of threads about it there.

I have already made one expensive purchase of a RAID controller that didn’t fit the mother board and don’t want to do that again so I’m asking anyone who has any experience with this mother board and/or RAID controllers what are my options, ideally I would want a 4port card.
Can anyone advise me on what to do.
Thanks
Chris

Was the card you purchased a PCI or PCIe model? if the one you got was PCI then of course it would not fit as there are no PCI slots. Get a PCIe version and it should fit in the lower black PCIe slot.
According to this it's PCI not PCIe

MSI H61M-E33(B3) updating bios.........file not found

Hi,
I tried to update the bios MSI H61M-E33(B3) from 10.D to 12.2. After rebooting, i got the message "BIOS Update: ... file not found".
There is something wrong, what could it be?
The following files are on an usb-Stick:
- 7680vC2.exe (Windows-Installer)
- EIVB.bin (MD5: 55a1af369b1db5b180a432a8fa5c7178 )
- IM9T318R (empty directory)
If the stick is missing, i got the message that the bios-update is not finished yet.

If that doesn't work:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Download the attached archive to your desktop(of any computer)
Install the forum update tool
Use option 1 of the tool and point it at the entire archive.
It will prepare the flash tool to flash, I am not sure if you are getting far enough to use this, perhap try a full cmos clear as well.
If none of these solutions will work, you will need that spi programmer.

MSI H61M-P21 no eSata found

I recently bought an MSI H61M-P21 board. Set it up with:
SATA Velociraptor 150 GB as boot disk with Windows 7 Ultimate
SATA WD Green 1 TB as data
both connected directly to the mobo
The configuration of the HDs in the BIOS is set to IDE. I'm using BIOS rev H00 (E7680IMS.H00), which originally came with the motherbard.
I tried to plug an eSATA external drive for backup, but Windows didn't recognize it.
I was using either an internal card reader with an eSATA port, or the bracket that came with the hard drive enclosure, which I attached to the SATA port of the motherboard.
I thought a BIOS update would allow me to do that.
I flashed up to rev H10.
Still had the same problems.
I looked on forums and some people were recommending to use AHCI, which BIOS rev H00 didn't support (it was either IDE or Disabled).
So after updating to H10, I changed the drives to use AHCI. I had to reinstall Windows 7 because I was using IDE.
Anyway, after starting Windows, plugged the drive to the eSATA port... nothing.
I decided to update to the last BIOS rev. H20
Same results.
Furthermore, BIOS H10 and H20 gave me problems. After resetting the computer, the date and time will return to the date and time of the BIOS creation, not holding the current date and time.
I went back to BIOS H00 and everything works fine, except for the original eSATA problem.
Of course, I had to set my hard drives back to IDE instead of AHCI.
Now here's something even stranger.
I realized I don't need AHCI to recognize the external hard drive through eSATA.
Even if I use IDE in the BIOS, the ONLY way to get the external disk to be recognized is to have it powered on and plugged in BEFORE I turn on the computer.
I can access my files in Windows from the external drive.
BUT, if I turn the hard drive off and turn it back on, Windows won't recognize it again. I would have to restart the computer, with the external hard drive plugged in and turned on.
By the way, I made sure the timings for my RAM where all the same through BIOS rev H00, H10 and H20.
Not sure why H10 and H20 didn't hold the current times.
Motherboard battery is fine, if not, why does it save the time and date with rev H00?

MSI H61M-P23 (B3) - Failed BIOS Update, PC Won't Boot

I attempted to update the BIOS on my MSI H61M-P23 motherboard and the update failed. Attempted to reboot the PC and no longer have access to the BIOS and the PC does not boot. Additionally, there are two short beeps in POST. Any suggestions on resolving this issue?

I don't recall what the old BIOS version was, but whatever the newest version that's available for download from MSI is what I attempted to flash. I ran the BIOS update in Windows and my PC froze for over an hour and wouldn't respond, so I powered it down and went to power it back up and now I get a blank screen and two beeps in POST.
which version exactly you tried to update?

H61M-P31 (G3) Audio over HDMI

Hello
i m trying to make a HTPC with H61M-P31 with i3-2125. i m not able to setup with onboard audio over on HDMI cable using onboard disply DVI port. within window 7 i do see my Sony TV but there is no way for me to selet the TV as a audio device inside Volume control option. is it something that i need to set in bios ? what is PEG and IGD stand for ? thx so much for any type of help

What a surprise to see you on here, micgo.
IGD = Integrated Graphics Device
PEG = PCI Express Graphics
DVI provides display signal only but no audio therefore you may need to use a video card with HDMI output to accomplish your goal.

MSI NF735GTX-P31 display delayed 20-30 minutes after cpu power on

I have a problem with my PC:
Motherboard - MSI NF735GTX-P31
RAM - 3gb
When I pressed power on button, CPU beep fine, but no bios/just black, only can see CPU red light blinking, the display showed after 20-30 minutes.
I have try to reset CMOS, reseat RAM and so on, it still same.
Try to flash the bios to A60, nothing changed. Still need to wait 20-30 minutes to show the display.
How can I solve the problem? Thanks.
