MSI H87M-G43 and Wake On LAN

I have an MSI H87M-G43 with BIOS v.1.8 running Windows 8.1 64-bit. I cannot get Wake On Lan to work with this motherboard. Can anyone confirm this is working with the MSI H87M-G43 motherboard?
Here is the PC Configuration:

No.
It is difficult to identify where the problem is then
Quote from: mville
... and to make matters worse, during extensive testing of this Wake on LAN issue, I set:
Wake Up Event By: [OS]
Resume From S3 by USB Device [Enabled]
and my USB keyboard is also unable to wake from S3/Sleep. When Wake Up Event By: [BIOS] is set, the USB keyboard is able to wake from S3/S4/S5.
Well mine does not wake up by keyboard, which is what I want, I need to see if keyboard with power key will work.
Quote from: mville
Last week, I submitted a support ticket with MSI, who responded with a basic set of wake on LAN instruction. I explained that, although I have followed the instructions, it still does not work. MSI have now gone silent on me.
I had somewhat similar experience with ASUS, but they just kept repeasting themselves, seems like language barrier or they just pretending.

  • MSI 645 Ultra and "Wake On LAN" ???

    Hello,
    This question is aimed at the following people :
    - Someone who owns a MSI 645-Ultra motherboard, and who has some experience about it's "Wake On LAN" capabilities,
    or,
    - Someone at MSI who knows the detailed specifications of this motherboard (related to its "Wake On LAN" capabilities).
    I own a "MSI 645 Ultra" motherboard for some time now (more than a year). It's based on SIS 645 chipset.
    Currently, I'm trying to make the computer boot on demand, through the LAN.
    So, I have an appropriate network card : its based on Admtek AN983, it supports "Wake On LAN" (WOL), and a WOL cable was included.
    About the MSI 645 Ultra motherboard, I looked at the documentation, and, surprisingly, I didn't find any mention of the WOL feature.
    Too sad, this "modern" motherboard doesn't support WOL feature ??
    The doc says there is support for WOR (Wake on modem Ring), and there is a WOR connector. But no WOL connector.
    So, what's the status of this motherboard, regarding WOL support ??
    - Is it internally supported, without the need of a WOL connection, directly through  PCI and PME signaling ?
    - Can I use the motherboard WOR input connector, and plug the network card's WOL into it ?
    - Is all of this non sense ??
    Thanks in advance for your clarifications and tips.
    Technical replies are welcome (I have a solid networking background)
    Guillaume

    Here I reply to myself : I think this will be useful to other people, whatever the motherboard model.
    So, I just SUCCESSFULLY have been able to wake up my PC from the LAN  
    Here are my conclusions :
    1- There's nothing in the motherboard documentation that explicitly indicates that it's supported. But it is !
    2 - I didn't need to connect the LAN card to the motherboard (didn't need any WOL connection)
    3 - I have a patched Windows XP. But its standard drivers for my network card weren't enough. I had to install the updated drivers from the manufacturer (admtek).
    4 - With these drivers, I could then access, from Windows devices setup tool, to the network adapter APM properties, and I could "Allow Device to Bring Computer Out of Standby".
    5. Inside the BIOS, a few things to setup :
    Power Management Features
    -> IPCA Function : Enabled
    -> Power Management / APM : Enabled
    -> Set Wake Up Events ... Wake Up On PME# : Enabled
    Actually, this means that there is no explicit need for a "Wake On LAN" configuration. It all goes through PME# (i.e. direct PCI) wakeup events.
    6. Then it works :-)
    The excellent free tool available at
    http://www.depicus.com/wake-on-lan/
    does the job at the remote computer side (when fed with the valid MAC and IP addresses).
    I'm very pleased... but I wish MSI had somehow indicated that the motherboard is WOL capable !

  • MSI k8Neo2 Platinium and Wake on Lan

    Is this K8neo2 platinium have Wake on lan function on internal Lan cards ?

    Hello !!
    I know that the 7025 Neo2 Platinum supports wake on lan for the nvidia onboard lan controller. About the second one, the realtek i am not sure.

    The issues I get are:
    1. JUSB1 connected and Resume From S3/S4/S5 by USB Device: Enabled in BIOS. When I shutdown the PC, it automatically boots 2-3 seconds later. If I set Resume From S3/S4/S5 by USB Device: Disabled or disconnect the JUSB1, the PC shutdown is fine.
    2. Once the PC is shutdown OK, PC boots itself several hours later. Yesterday at 15:50pm PC was shutdown. At 21:18pm, PC automatically booted itself.
    This is my first MSI and UEFI motherboard. What I would like is some advice on setting up the BIOS and the software to get sleep/hibernate working and no automatic boots.
    I have contacted MSI regarding these issues, but they say they cannot reproduce them. I have subsequently googled these issues and of course, other MSI users are experiencing similar problems, but there are no obvious resolutions. Please can anyone help/advise?

    Hi,
    I have the MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming mobo and perhaps similar problem as discussed in this thread.
    I wanted to be able to wake my PC from sleep mode via my USB connected mouse and keyboard. Therefore I went into BIOS and set the "Resume from S3/S4/S5 by USB Device" to "Enabled". And yes, now it is possible to wake my PC from sleep mode by just clicking any button on my keyboard or just moving my mouse a little bit. So far so good. BUT, another feature was also added which I did not want to have: By just clicking any button on my keyboard or moving my mouse a little bit the PC also started after I have "shut it down"! This could seem as the PC boot by itself but it does not, I have to move the mouse just a little bit (by accident for example when needing more space on my desk) or clicking a button on the keyboard. I THINK THE ROOT CAUSE TO THIS PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: In BIOS, it says "Resume from S3/S4/S5 by USB Device". Instead it should only be "Resume from S3 by USB Device". S3 is the same as "Sleep" and S5 is the same as "Soft off" = PC shutdown. Do you understand what I mean? When I shut down my PC it is put into state “S5”. (NOTE: I have another PC with MSI Z77-GD65 and here it only says "Resume from S3 by USB Device" and no problem with any starting of that PC via USB device from a shutdown state, it only starts from the sleep state (=”S3”) as I want. How do I get rid of the "S5" state in BIOS for this USB wake up feature? (Btw "S4" is hibernate state which is not the same as a shutdown PC, therefore not causing this problem.)
    ADDED No. 1: Please read msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa373229(v=vs.85).aspx for explanation of the different system Power states I mention above.
    ADDED No. 2: My Click BIOS version is 1.8 for Z87-GD65 with release date 2013-12-06. On a Youtube video I have seen that version 1.0 of this BIOS has Wake up "Resume from S3 by USB Device" and not ...S3/S4/S5...

  • MSI H87M-G43, cannot install Windows 7 on SSD

    I am building a new PC with the hardware specified here:
    Motherboard MSI H87M-G43 (flashed to the latest BIOS E7823IMS v.1.5 and run Restore Defaults)
    CPU Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz
    RAM Corsair DDR3 4GB XMS3 PC3-10666 x 2
    SSD Samsung 840 EVO 120GB
    DVD Liteon IHAS124-14 24X
    PSU Corsair CX430
    I have installed the Samsung 840 EVO on SATA Port 1, Boot Option #2 and the Liteon DVD Drive on SATA Port 5, Boot Option #1. Now I want to a clean install of the Windows 7 OS.
    I insert the Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit DVD and I am able to boot off the Windows 7 DVD and continue with the installation. However, during the installation, after the copying the files, expanding files, installing features, installing updates, completing installation screen, the system reboots as expected but the install fails and I get a blank screen with the following error:
    a disk read error occurred
    press ctrl+alt+del to restart
    No matter what I try I cannot get the Windows 7 OS on the Samsung 840 EVO SSD. I have tried SATA mode AHCI Mode. I have even tried SATA mode RAID Mode using the latest Intel RST drivers and the load drivers option during the installation. Whatever I try, the installation fails.
    I have placed the Samsung 840 EVO into another PC and run the Samsung Magician software which reports the drive to be in good working order.
    If I swap the Samsung 840 EVO on SATA Port 1 with a Samsung 1TB SATA II HDD, the Windows 7 installation completes successfully without any problems whatsoever.
    Please can anyone help?

    Which updates are failing and what is the failure code?
    Updates install, but on completion, Windows Update says I have to restart and the PC waits at Shutdown for many minutes and eventually BSODs so quickly I cannot see the BSOD error.
    So, I have tried re-installing the OS 5 or 6 times now, choosing different combinations of Windows updates to install, but at some point I get a problem. Other symptoms I get are:
    1. Updates install, the PC shutdowns successfully but on reboot I get the 'Windows is configuring updates' screen and the PC hangs.
    2. Updates install OK but when I get to the desktop, the mouse and keyboard stop working.
    3. Updates install OK, I get to the desktop, but on next restart, the PC hangs.
    Something is screwed here and whatever I try, I cannot install all the Windows updates successfully after a clean OS install.

    Is this the gaming version or regular?
    The primary DIMMS are DIMM 2 & 4 (2nd from the cpu and last)
    So install a single stick of ram in DIMM 2 then clear the cmos. Then try the other stick.
    If it won't boot with either, try a single stick in each DIMM to see if any will work.

  • MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (WAKE On Lan with Realtek)?

    Hello can the MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS 1.B) WAKE On Lan with the Realtek card?
    It does not appear to work for me and there is nothing in the BIOS.
    My WOL packets wake up other PC's.
    Please Help.

    Hello !
    Go into Bios Setup, Integrated Periphals, and disable the nvidia Lan, but let the Onboard LAN enabled.
    Now go to PCI Configuration, Wakeup Events, and enable wakeup on PCI event and wake on LAN.
    Check in Boot Order Menu if you can select the realtek onboard Lan as first booting device, push it in first place.
    Another Option could be using the nvidia Lan, its reported to work with wakeon lan.

  • M93p BIOS issue: PowerOff not correct if Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disabled and Wake on Lan Enabled

    Hi Levnovo support team, Recently I bought a M93p tiny(10AAA05MTW)(BIOS revision FBKT56A)and installed with Ubuntu 13.10 myself.Then tried to enable wake on lan for my tiny. The followings are my test result. 1. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Enabled, no mateter what is Wake On Lan setting     PowerOff system is OK. 2. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disable and Wake On Lan Disabled    PowerOff system is OK. 3. Enhanced Power Saving Mode Disabled and Wake On Lan Primary or Automatic   PowerOff system is NG.   When I tried to power off system, it always can poweroff(LEDs on front all off) then POWER ON again in 2 or 3 seconds.   I cannot accept this test result ,system should poweroff not reboot again.   It's really hard to understand why enabling Wake on Lan will affect power off function. I tried the same procedures with my another M92p(3212A16)(BIOS revision 9SKT70AUS), and it works well.   

    Did you ever get a fix for this?Having the same issue on 3 of 6 machines that just arrived. 

  • 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

  • I bought a MSI Z77A-G43 and 1st PCIE(3.0 I guess) slot doesn't work?

    I bought a MSI Z77A-G43 and 1st PCIE (3.0 I guess) slot doesn't work? I mean when I put my gf card in it , my screen wont start. BUt when I put it to other blue Pcie (2.0 I guess) it works. What will be the reason? Do I need to do anything in bios ?

    I had a similar situation recently.
    1.) Check the cpu/ socket for damage
    2.) Remove the mobo and make sure there are no extra stand off's under the board.
    3.) Check the pci/e slot for obstruciton or debris
    Other than that it's probably going to be an rma issue.

  • MSI H77MA-G43 AND INTEL 2ND GEN

    Hello,
    i have made a budget pc for a friend with the following config:
    MSI H77MA-G43
    INTEL I5 2400
    MSI GTX 550 TI
    I have installed all the drivers but i can´t get any audio or ethernet. I've read about this and i come to a conclusion that might be some problems of compatibility between h77 chipsets and 2nd generation intel processors, since h77 chipsets ware made for 3rd gen. processors.
    I've already change bios, installed the latest drivers and updates the chipset controller, but nothing. Anyone can help me or do i have to change the board for a P67 chipset???
    Thanks in advance,

    The board runs fine with an i5-2400 and bios 1.70:
    http://www.msi.com/service/download/bios-19052.html
    Audio is already working with default Windows driver.
    Make sure you've selected your speakers in the Playback Devices menu in Windows. It might use the VGA audio at the moment.
    LAN is running fine with the Realtek driver: http://www.msi.com/service/download/driver-2697.html
    What ME version is the board running on? You can check that in the Settings->System Status menu.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum and wake-on-lan

    Hi,
    I don't understand if the MSi K8N Neo4 Platinum has wake on lan capability..
    There is in BIOS a setting in power manegement, but it's not loisting 'wake on lan'. In Windows (XP Pro), I can find a tool from MSI where I can setup a date/time for the PC to boot up, but nothing about WOL.
    Can it do WOL ?
    How does it work ?
    Thanks for your help,
    Rico

    Wake On LAN, developed from Intel, provides remote wake-up technology that enables
    systems to be remotely powered "on" for off hour’s tasks.
    A result of the Intel-IBM Advanced Manageability Alliance and part of the
    Wired for Management Baseline Specification, this technology helps save time on automated software
    installations, upgrades, disk backups and virus scans.
    Wake on LAN technology resides in a managed network adapter and on the system motherboard.
    Please see the Intel web site for more information on WOL technology.

  • Freezing issues with MSI 970A-G43 and AMD FX 8320

    Hey all,
    I bought my brother a new system a few days ago, but he has had serious issues with the machine crashing ever since.
    The machine has had a fresh installation of Windows 7, it has all the latest drivers for both motherboard, sound, chipset and video card (Latest VGA driver tested as well as the latest Beta version)
    I thought the problem might be with the VGA card, as the computer would just shut off during 3d Gaming, but it also seems to happen when surfing the internet or doing normal "2d" activities
    What happens is the computer will just seemingly shut off, the LED lights on the front of the case, around the dials, start blinking and the only way to get it back up again, is to turn if off at the power supply unit and then turn it back on again.
    I'll paste in what my brother sent me (As I live in the UK and can't see the machine crashing myself), he said:
    I dunno what the issue is but, last night the comp just shut off in middle of game play on 3 different games, and the lights were flashing, I had to turn complete power off to the power box and back on to restart comp, I kept checking all my temps with speccy and speed fan and nothing seemed high at all, also when it shuts off and I re start it, a lot of my desktop icons move around to different spots,
    Update: crashed a few times on me, once playing euro, once just browsing Internet 5 min after the first one, changed out ram just for shots and giggles and ran euro on ultra for about 5 min and crashed. I dl a gpu monitor gadget, was accurate on temp but said the gpu was 0% but with just Internet would randomly jump to 99% or 40% then back to 0 and would stay and eventually crash
    Spec is:
    AMD FX-8320 3.5GHZ EIGHT CORE
    500GB SATA III 6GB/S 7200RPM 16MB
    COOLERMASTER SEIDON 120M WATER COOLER
    4Gb DDR3 / 1600 MHZ MEMORY
    MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 CROSSFIRE AM3+ DDR3 USB 3.0 SATA
    CORSAIR 500 WATTS CX500 V2 80 PLUS POWER SUPPLY
    ASUS XONAR DG 5.1 CHANNELS PCI XONAR DG SOUND CARD
    AMD RADEON 7750 2GB PCI-E
    There was a concern I did have when I did search earlier, via a thread on Tomshardware in which a similiar board had issues with the FX8350's wattage going above the stated 125 watts and causing the board to freeze.
    It's a different board/chip, but I wonder if the wattage of the CPU goes above 125W and causes problems on the board? Hmm
    I feel really guilty right now, because I bought this for him as a present, it was $700ish plus shipping etc and it's been nothing but problems ever since.
    I'm going to see what version of Bios he's running when he gets out of bed, but the Live Update software said there were no updates, but I'll have him check manually.
    Another issue I noted, was I sent him some ram before the PC arrived, which was:
    XMS3 — 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CMX8GX3M2A1333C9)
    He originally put that ram in with the existing 4gb of ram, so I thought it "Might" be a conflict, due to them having a different Mhz value
    So I had him remove the 4gb stick that came with the PC
    As soon as he entered the bios, it froze and did so twice
    So he removed that ram and put back the original 4gb stick and the bios worked
    No idea if the two are related.

    I hope this doesn't count as necro-ing a thread (last post was in October), but it's the one closest to my situation.
    I have the following setup:
    MSI 970a-g43 motherboard
    AMD FX-6300 cpu
    ATI Radeon HD 4550 graphics card
    4x 2GB RAM sticks
    2x 500 GB 3.5" SATA hard drives
    CoolMax 700W psu
    16x r/rw DVD burner
    cheapo SD and others card reader that fits in the floppy drive bay
    Older PC tower that has a temperature sensor built into it
    I built it around November 15th, and it worked until a couple days ago (December 12th I think), when it started doing the sudden shut-off thing. Same as Adresch described: shuts off, tower light blinks, have to flip the i/o switch off and back on to boot again. I consulted a friend for some suggestions, and he said I should put a water cooler in there, because the stock heatsink that comes with most processors are junk. So I went out and bought a Corsair H55 water cooler and installed that.
    The computer seemed to run for a bit longer before shutting off. I loaded up the BIOS software, SpeedFan, and HWMonitor. SF said the CPU was running average of 48*C, and GPU was averaging 51*C. The CPU's highest was at 61*C and its lowest was 36*C. BIOS software said CPU was at 35*C the whole time. HWMonitor listed the GPU at 51*C, and the CPU at 7*C. These are all very inconsistent with each other as far as I can tell, so I don't know what to make of these readings. Didn't seem to much matter as the computer continued shutting off.
    My options then being replacing the PSU or the motherboard, I decided to replace the power supply, since I was just within the 30 days. Switched for a ThermalTake TR2 700W. Before installing it, I pulled the tower's CPU temperature sensor wire from between the water cooler heatsink and the CPU, just in case. Then I installed the PSU, checked and rechecked all of the connections, and turned it on.
    Nothing.
    I then spent the next two hours rechecking everything, even unplugging everything and putting it back together. Still nothing. The best I could get was a flicker of the tower light and the fans doing a quarter turn before ceasing movement. The red LED on the front of the SD card reader stayed on the entire time, though, so I guess it was getting at least a trickle of power. I also removed everything but the PSU, motherboard, CPU, and one stick of RAM. Still no power. I think the new PSU may have been open box, so I'm returning it today for a different one, and even bumping it up to 850W.
    I'm not sure that will solve my original issue though, so I'll be looking for a heatsink to put on the VRMS as mentioned. Just thought I'd get this down in a relevant thread in case anyone had other thoughts on what could be going on.

    Please provide your full system configuration. >>Posting Guide<<
    You can play COD2 in single player mode? If so, then I would think that you have a game set-up problem with the mutli player mode.
    Just do a search on the net for that error message and you will see you are not alone. Go to the game manufacturers site and check for game updates. It could also be related to direct X installation.
    Hi, i think could be a drivers problem, i just replaced my motherboard and processor only and i never had any problem before...
    Cod 2 should run perfectly on Windows XP but i have the same crash problem...
