MSI MPOWER Z77 Drops frequency

I have a INTEL 3770K along with MSI MPOWER Z77, I am running BIOS at Default settings with no major changes to Overclocking section. When I boot up the windows for first time the CPU frequency goes up to 3.9Ghz when in TURBO. But when I Put computer in STANDBY MODE for overnight and start the computer backup in the morning, the CPU Frequency only goes up to 3.5Ghz in TURBO ( It just wont go above 3.5GHZ). I am using latest BIOS v17.7 and Default settings at BIOS.
To Fix the issue and I have to restart windows and then 3770K will go to Max 3.9Ghz turbo and idles at 1.6Ghz, which is suppose to happen all the time. is there something wrong with my BIOS or installation of Windows 8 ?
Need Assistance

Flash to the latest bios and retest:

MSI Mpower Z77 B2 Error

Hello all!
Sorry for bad Language from start:)
My PC:
MSI Mpower Z77
I5 2500k
PSU Fractal Design R2
Memory Stick Hynix 1600 mhz 16 gb
MSI 7970 Lightning
The problem is next, yesterday after i installed 7970 (with new waterblock, made leak test 24 hours before start with main psu, all leak test system was without power), the problem is bios and video won't post, motherboard shows b 2 (maybe it 62 but looks like B2) error, and even without video card it won't post and showing B2 error.
I already tried to clear cmos with button, battery (PSU cable unplug), switching bios, switch bios on VGA but still nothing works. I didn't touch CPU and it works all fine before install 7970.
Right now i am on work, but i will check another video.
please tell me what else can I check? Or B2 it problem only of Video? I already looked other threads, and contact with company of waterblock, they said its impossible to be problems, maybe its because of no connection on 3 pin stock cooler connector or smth?
Thanks in advance....

Quote from: badboy2k on 08-October-13, 14:52:29
if its a B2 error its the graphics card being a pain and is probably DOA (always test a card before fitting a water block (even on another computer) on its stock cooler as its easier then having to remove the waterblock just to have to put the cooler back on to do a RMA if its non functional)
first thing to try would be to remove and reseat the card to make sure its not just miss seated!
also what PSU do you have?
Hello again, thanks for fast answer!
I have this video card already half a year, and it works fine all time, before change stock cooler on waterblock i check it and it was ok!
I already reseat card about 5 times, every time PSU off and waited, my PSU if Fractal Design Newton R3 1000w. (mistake in discription).
Right now Company that send me waterblock said that on manual i need to place lightning chip (from top GPU Reactor) , but i never used it and it was ok, can it affect on B2 or not?. Can it died by my hand? But leds work fine like always when it was on stock cooler.
And the point is, even if i took off card, its still B2, even after clear cmos and all actions i made in 1 post.
DOA - dead or alive? If motherboard won't work with another video (9500 GT ) or integrated can just motherboard suddenly be dead?
Thank you in advance

MSI Mpower Z77 w/MSI NGTX 680 Lightning

Got started on my first ever PC and I'm stuck, so please bear with me. The parts that I have are the MSI Mpower Z77 and the MSI NGTX 680 Lightning (video card). There are two 8-pin connectors on the video card which needs to be plugged in. However, reading the user guide for Mpower Z77, it mentioned an ATX 6-pin power connector on its main board. It's designated as JPWR3 (p. 1-15) and it's suppose to provide power to the graphics card. My question is, do I need to plug in the JPWR3 on the main board if I'm already connecting two 8-pin power source into the video card?
I'm pretty confused about this because I've heard varying accounts. Speaking to people, they've said that the JPWR3 not only powers the graphics card but also all the PCIe expansion slots. Don't know how true this is since there's no mention in the user guide. On the other hand, I've had some people tell me not to bother with it if I'm only using one video card; they've stated while it doesn't hurt to have JPWR3 plugged in, it won't do anything unless I'm overclocking or running SLI/Crossfire, in which case I'll be drawing lots of power.
So what to do? I am tempted by SLI...but that's a bridge I won't cross until next year. So in the meantime, should I plug in JPWR3? Any pros and cons either way? It'd be great to have some feedback or consensus. Thanks.
Oh, and if plugging JPWR3, do I use the PCIe power cable from the PSU??? It's the only 6-pin I have left.

its better to connect all the power connectors anyway to avoid problems later on in time if he upgrades! also if the PSU you have isn't capable of supplying that big an ammount of power to the board the optional header will fill in the missing shortage and your less ikely to have noposts as the graphics cards power from the slot is choked so its more just safety!
most experianced builders will say even if its not needed connect it anyway to avid problems with your build....
let me put it like this its better to have it connected and its doing nothing then to try and boot a machine and it needing it but its not connected and as a result the machine doesn't post!
the PCI power connector on the board will be active only if needed and connecting it won't cause any problems but work as a boost if needed!

MSI Mpower Z77, boot code A0/A2 hanging

Hello all,
Parts:
MSI Z77 MPower motherboard
Intel i7-3570k
Phanteks TC14 cooler
32GB Corsair Vengeance RAM (I believe it's 1600 speed, it's underneath the cooler so I haven't pulled it yet)
Samsung 840 128GB
MSI GTX650ti
IBM M1015
Nvidia Quadro NVS 420
2xPlextor M5S 120GB
Samsung 850W X-series PSU
APC 750 ES UPS
Lubuntu 14.04
(yes, I used all the display outputs and RAM )
I've recently have been having issues with my workstation which has been rock stable up to this point.
I experienced some kind of power failure (I'm not sure if it was the UPS, the PSU or something with the board itself). The UPS has had some trouble with its battery but at the time, it didn't seem to be the culprit as there were no beeps at the time. I can't remember if the displays lost power too, but I believe they were hooked up to the non-battery side of the UPS.
I've had two unexplained power failures on this workstation in about a week or two. After the latest power failure, I went to reboot the machine and I got stuck at either A2 or A0 (on the display and LED) and a black screen. I left it for a day or two before I had time to diagnose.
Just today, I pulled the SSD, and I got stuck at A0. I pulled all the cards (I ran the display off the onboard HDMI) and USB off the back (mouse, Sony headset receiver, etc). Any time I rebooted, I got the same A0 code. I have switched BIOSes, no joy. I also cleared the CMOS multiple ways (shorting the coin cell battery holder, as well as holding the button). I do get a message that the CMOS has been reset, but when I try to go into BIOS, it hung for at least a minute before I gave up. I also tried to use the Go2BIOS button, no change. I also in there somewhere tried booting off a USB stick, but seeing as how I couldn't even hit BIOS, I'm not surprised nothing changed.
The OS SSD is fine and runs off my laptop.
I haven't tested the PSU yet nor have I removed the RAM as it's buried under the Phanteks but at this point, I do believe the motherboard is buggered.
At the time of power failures, I hadn't been performing anything odd, just working away. I also haven't changed anything on the machine in a long while, and I haven't reseated the CPU so very doubtful I have bent pin(s).
Any other thoughts before I RMA the board??

Quote
I'm not entirely sure if it's good to have Quadro mixed with GTX series..
Never had a problem actually, it runs an extra 4 2D displays while the GTX650 does the 3D rendering. Works pretty well in fact after the initial setup hurdles.
Quote
Usually A0 code is given out when something's wrong with BIOS. A2 however is the last code I see before it boots (both LED and screen).
Possibly some capacitors died? Did you see through the motherboard?
I will have another look. I pulled the heatsink to get at the RAM and didn't notice anything terribly wrong, but didn't look specifically at the caps, moreso burnt spots on the board (kind of hard with a black PCB!). Double checked just now with the HS mounted the caps I can see. Don't see anything bulging or noticeably amiss.
I did get a response from MSI tech about checking if the primary BIOS was corrupted, going down that road now.

MOVED: MSI Mpower Z77 w/MSI NGTX 680 Lightning

MSI Mpower Z77 Code 62

So I booted my computer up like normal today, and it didn't post.
I looked at the LED readout and saw it was code 62. I did some reading, and found it may be the graphics card. I took it out, and tried again. Still 62. I read also that I should unplug it completely from the wall, remove the battery, and leave it for 5 minutes. I left it for an hour, put it back in, plugged it into the wall and tried again (Graphics card still removed). Still 62.
Is this an error that means the board is faulty? I don't think it's the RAM or the CPU, but I have no way of testing them (I don't have any spare DDR3 RAM or even another computer). I also don't have any friends who I can borrow hardware off of or test things in.

Ok, problem solved (But I don't know why).
I decided to throw everything back together, GPU, RAM, SSD, HDD, etc... It booted fine.
Like I say, I don't know why this is, but it seems to be fine now.
Maybe it's because I didn't have a display connected to the integrated graphics when I didn't have the GPU installed? I don't know, but as long as I don't have to wait weeks for a new board.
Mods can close this thread now if they like, since my problem has been solved. This is a server-esque machine so it runs 24/7 anyway, so as long as it doesn't restart, I see no reason for it to be a recurring error.

Re: MSI Mpower Z77 slow wifi?

I don't seem to have any connection at all to wifi (win 8 pro 64). Will this let me connect?

Sorry I thought that would be the right place to ask so as not to clutter up the board.
I have installed everything but
Intel Rapid Start Technology Driver
Intel VGA Driver.
Lucid Virtu MVP Driver
I have tried to install these but am getting the message "This computer does not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software
I cannot see the device in device manager but I do see this "microsoft kernel debug network adapter"
I can connect using Ethernet.
This is my first time build so I might be a little slow at this.
Update: So I was finally able to connect. I think windows needs to be activated first(I had an issue with his since the first time I tried I was not connected to internet) Right after I activated this started working fine. Not sure why I can't install the other drivers, but at least I can connect.

MSI MPOWER Z77 BIOS troubles

After updating BIOS to version H.60 through live update, some troubles appeared. After shutdown, when I try to start the system usb(3.0) ports do not work(and so my KB and mouse). After using RESET button, system tries to reboot, black screen and turn the power off. Then it starts by itself and everything is ok. I'm currently using A-Bios. But I also tried the second one. As I understood live update flashed both of them. Is it a common issue? Thanks for suggestions/replies)

Try re-flashing with the archives from here: >>Beta BIOSes<<
Use the forum tool and follow the direction and it should correct this issue.

MSI MPOWER z87 BSOD on boot in RAID mode

Hello, I've just recently added a harddrive and was attempting to set up a raid and encountered this issue. I have 2 ssds - one is the boot drive, second for games, and I have 3 1tb hdd drives which I was attempting to put in a raid5. I installed the third drive today, went in to the BIOS, switched SATA mode to RAID and got an immediate BSOD before even booting to Windows. Previously, I've had the two ssd in a RAID-0 and never had this issue. The ssd are no longer in a RAID, I was hoping to only have the 3 hdd in the raid5. I'm now having to reinstall windows because the error corrupted a system file somewhere and I'm unable to repair it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
My system is:
Windows 7-64bit
MSI MPOWER z87
Intel i7-4770k
8gb corsair vengeance RAM
2 120gb OCZ Vertex 3 SSD
3 1tb WD10ezex HDD
MSI GTX760 GPU
Rosewill Capstone 750W PSU

You cannot just change SATA modes.

(MSI MPOWER Z87) System Won't Start

Hi, a month ago I built for myself a new PC with MSI MPOWER Z87 motherboard.
For a month it worked fine, but couple of days ago, when I tried to launch it nothing would work, OS doesn't start, fans not working including processor fan. All I see is power button button(on motherboard) lit, OC Switch Led lights (one red and one blue) and Clear CMOS (blue) blinking. Debug led doesn't work either. Can anyone help me to solve this problem, what problem do I have and what can I do to fix it?

HuntKey Green Power 550W Sounds cheap and unreliable. Haswell also requires slightly different PSU than older systems did, so if possible test something like Corsair, Seasonic, Antec (and similar with GOOD quality and reputation). You could also go to local PC shop/IT services and ask for testing your system with their quality PSU.

Is there any possible solution to get USB charging work when the PC is shutdown?

Do you read the manual?

[SOLVED] Configuring SPDIF for MSI Mpower MAX

Hi people of the Arch,
I would like to play music over SPDIF, while I get no errors, I also get no sound.
I have read the Wiki here Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture
Also, I've been Googling and searching here on the forum, I've followed some steps but none seem to 'sound' right.
What I have not done is creating an asoundrc file with my setup, I believe that I can test if it works first, before I create such a file. Like to hear if this is right.
And I should note that I also use regular stereo out and USB headphones.

Mine originally came with v1.1 and had no problem booting or restarting problem of holding settings above stock/auto/default.
Quote
What happens is that it will make it past the start orbs and I see the mouse with a black background and then it BSODs. The computer restarts again and then boots properly.
Usually an indicator a voltage isn't high enough. OC settings don't sound stable. Might open a thread in the OC and Undervolt forum section for help with that. I've stayed away from the DRAM Training (left it as is) and reached 2800 without any trouble. Not all IMC's are going to handle that speed though from what I've been reading. All my benchmarks so far are showing RAM speed above 1600 adds little performance value.

MSI Mpower Max 4770k Help tweek it

Hi there,
this is my first seriouse MSI board in last 3years and i have encountered few problems with overclock
My Pc Specs are:
Intel 4770k
Corsair H70 with 2xNoctua 14FLX p/p
MSI Mpower Max
Kinston Hyper X DDR3 1600mhz 9-9-9-27 2x4GB
Corsair AX860
Intel SSD 510 250GB
Seagate Barracuda 3TB
Samsung F4 2TB
Corsair 650D
all day passed and i am a bit tired of seeing bios and bsods
i think i got the lazy chip help me understand it better and learn things on the way.
this is most stable i got.
Bios E7815IMS.133
CPU ratio: x44
Ratio: Fixed
Ring: x39
Vcore 1.25v Offset 0.015V
Svid comm. Enabled
from digitall i changed only CPU Vdrop to 100%
Ram set on xmp and manualy entered timings and voltage and speed 1600
With this i pass AIDA 64 stress test for 30min no problem
cinebench pass
when i open Prime95 Blend test 15min pass and bsod..
Temps were 80-85c with room 25c
Everything else in bios is set to default (auto)
Any tips how to tweek it more?
i tried x45 with settings as above i boot into windows pass cinebench but crash on aida64.
i also tryed just x46 with voltage bump up to 1.28v with offset 0.015
I will be deliding as soon as my h220 arrives and CLU.
Also is there some special USB so i can take the screenshots?
i tried all the ports different flashes also formated to FAT32 and NTFS same its saying no usb dongle..
When i put my WD 2TB HDD it recognize it but when i want to save the Screenshot it gives this message
"allocate file system resource fail"
I would post Screanshots but as i mentioned above its annoying problem..
Thanks in advance guys.
Edit:
just to see if i have lazy chip i tryed 1.3v with settings above and x47-48 wont even post.... :(
found flash that is working

ok i tryed this also
Internal VR efficiency management - disabled in screanshots its enabled
with this i am able to make 30mind aida with no crash temps a bit high but can be managed, i boot into windows with this vcore and x45 but unstable during aida 10min bsod
i boosted the voltage to 1.275 with offset 0.015v and got me 20min aida then bsod. any way i can tweek it more?
