MSI Z68S-G43(G3) (MS-7750) problems

Hello, I have the MSI Z68S-G43(G3) (MS-7750) board and I was very pleased with it so far.
(running bios version 4.3 atm)
However I have a problem with Control center 2 and it's fan control.
I just bought Noctua NH-D14 and plugged it's fans into the sysfan 1, as well as other fans in sysfan 2.
I am trying to change the fan control profile, however there are few problems:
1. Fan profiles are reset upon restart to some default setting even if I overwrite it by saving the profile .
2. Whenever I edit the curve in Control Center, fan speeds are just stuck at the lowest speed .
Which is rather dangerous tbh.
(for ex. if 50% is lowest and max is 100% if cpu is stressed fans still stay at 50%)
I have tested this with Intel Burn test, while monitoring the temps and fan speeds with CPUID Hardware Monitor.
Another problem I have is after Bios update to v4.3 is with my keyboard.
It does not work outside OS, however before the update it worked.
Keyboard info:
Noppoo choc mini which is Full NKRO over usb and is implemented as three keyboard controllers according to Device manager.
Now the biggest problem I have is with the fan speeds, the keyboard is more of a gripe... I just keep a spare one around ...
Any help is greatly appreciated

yes the sysfan 1 has a 4pin connector, but in the manual it says that the pwm pin is not to be used.
The cpu fan is 4 pin pwm.
And the sysfan 2 is 3pin .
So the cpu fan connector is pwm, while the others are voltage controlled.
I am currently using Sysfan 1 for Noctua's fans and Sysfan 2 for the other fans.
I checked and I can control sysfan's speeds from control panel.
But the problem I am having is that if I modify the min speed of the curve fans stick to min speed without regard to the temp-speed curve. As if I set them to a fixed speed.
Here is a sceenshot of the default curve. Now I would like to change the min here to 50% at 40C.

Does the MSI Z68-G43 G3 support 8/8 PCIe 2.0 lanes (for SLI/CF)

Hello,
The MSI webpage states
Quote
• 1 PCI Express gen3 x16 slot, 1 PCI Express gen2 x16 slot
• 2 PCI Express gen2 x1 slots
• 3 PCI slots, support 3.3V/ 5V PCI bus Interface
for the MSI Z68-G43 G3. It doesn't say whether the board can run the 16 PCIE 2.0 Lanes in 8/8 configuration. My current (Gigabyte P67A-D3-B3) board can only do 16/4, so I am considerung moving to this board for Crossfire. Does anyone know if 8/8 2.0 is possible with this board and a Sandy Bridge CPU?
Regards
chris

SLI is not possible on this board.
The PCI-E 2.0 slot is equipped with only 4 lanes.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z68AG43_G3.html#hero-specification
PCI-E Gen : Gen3 (1x16), Gen2 (1x4)
Thanks for the help, Remus!
I am now looking to get a Z77A-GD55 instead. It is specified as PCI-E Gen : Gen3 (16, 16), Gen2(4) so it should be fine (Sandy Bridge only reduces it to Gen2 (16, 16) instead of Gen3 (16, 16), right?).
They are somewhat hard to find, though, unlike the Z68A-GD65-G3 with Gen3 (16/0, 8/8) and Z68A-GD80-G3 with Gen3 (16/0, 8/8), Gen2 (1x4) . So I'll see what I can get.

MSI Z77A-G43 - extreme memory profile problem

Hello everyone,
I’d really appreciate a piece of help here. I’ve bought the MSI motherboard MSI Z77A-G43 and currently I’m having problems with my memory (slots 1 and 3). My PC has following specs:
-   MSI Z77A-G43
-   Intel Core i5 2500K (not overclocked)
-   RAM Patriot 2x4GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 (PGD38G1600ELK) G2 Series
Everything is set to default values and works fine. But when I enter the BIOS, I see that the memory is automatically set to 1333 MHz. The memory has the XPM. But when I set the XPM (agressive timing, 1600 MHz) support (no other changes) and reboot the PC, it doesn’t work (endless reboot looping). Is there any way how I can make the XPM modus work? The memory is OK (tried on other MBs, XPM without problems), the CPU too. I tried overclocking, with slightly increased voltage I can easily reach 4,8 GHz on CPU, basically everything else is fine. The PSU is also sufficient (700W, OCZ). I can too set the memory on 1600 MHz manually, but the timing isn’t that good.
It’s actually a failure I can live with, but since it’s a brand new PC, I’d like to get the best out of it.
Many thanks
V.K.

Sometimes manually setting them works when XMP refuses to.
I don't know what the XMP SPD profile for that memory is, and a screenshot of your SPD and memory tabs would help.
However try the following.
Disable XMP and reboot so they are back at 1333.
Manually set it to 1600 and ensure manual setting of the timings to 9.9.9.24 see if that works.
If not set your DRAM voltage to 1,575V and see if that works.
It may be that your memory requires 1,65V, in which case, that is what you have to set. You should be able to see that in CPU-Z SPD tab under the XMP profile column.

Ram problem! (msi z68-gd80,g3)

Hey there.
have a problem with my new ripjaw x series ram 1866. ( and all other ram)
Tried installing all 16 gb of it earlier today and apparently only the first blue and black ram slot work.
Before i updated my bios to the newest one the pc wouldn't even load it would automaticly restart, but after getting the newest version of bios the computer keeps running but no signal to the screen.
I tried mem test on all 4 sticks by using them on the first two slots 1 black and 1 blue and there are no errors.

Did you test @DDR3-1333 // 1.55V // CR=2T?
Also, please read the >>Posting Guide<< and provide full system specs (especially precise model names/numbers of the memory modules you are talking about here).
How and where do i change those settings? Am a total newbie so you'll have to be patient with me..
In the overclock setting of the bios tried changing the volt to and freq to what you said but after changing that even the working 2 didn't work.. so i had to reset bios.

MSI Z77A-G43-memory problem

Hello
I bought lately new cpu,mb and memory. When i turned it on it was still rebooting after few seconds after start. So i treid to put just one memory in slot. It worked but only if memory is in bank 3 or 4. In 1,2 computer is still rebooting. Also it works with two memory modules, but putted in 3,4 slots only. And just in single channel. I saw that many people have the same problem and shop service wrote them that it works like that. First You put memory in slots 3,4 and then in 1,2. It is strange for me. I don't have two another memory modules to check if this is true and I want to that it works in dual channel, not single. So, is this true or mb is broken?

Hello. I have the same problem, except, I use 4 Dimms in 4 slots on my MSI board. I installed speaker on MB to see if there are any beep sounds during the booting, but all seems ok. The problem is the PC keeps still rebooting after about 5 sec. from the start. There aren´t any visual information on screen, since the start is so short. I tried to install dimms in 2nd and 4th slot first. Then to 1st and 3rd. In both cases the problem was still the same. When I put all rams in all 4 slots, the result is the same (restart for ethernity). The only way that goes is the PC runs with only 1 dimm in either 1st or 2nd slot. I tested all the memory modules and all of them work fine. I even tried this on a differennt mainboard from ASUS P8Z77-V LX. Now I tested it on MSI Z77A-G43. Both mainboards are new. There is a very slim change that both of them would be defective. Before I got MSI MB, I ran couple of days on the ASUS MB and everything was perfect, so I don´t think that CPU is defective. I even ran a few benchmarks on it. But I still don´t understand why can´t I run the system with all 16 GB of RAM instead of 4 GB in one slot. Please help me.

MSI Z77A-G43 RAM Problems

Hi everybody,
I have some big problems with my new build:
Intel Celeron G1610
MSI Z77A-G43
2x4gb Corsair Vengeance LD low voltage 1600 mhz 1.35 v dual channel kit
Seasonic 620w PSU
Saphire 7850 2gb GDDRAM5
My system wont work with both ram sticks in. If I only use one of them (it doesn't matter which one) in whatever slot I want, I don't have any problems. However if I use both of them I get bsods or restarts very soon after windows finishes loading. I must also mention that it's almost impossible to install Windows with both Ram sticks in. I almost always get a bsod when the installer is expanding the windows files.
I must also mention that by default, my motherboard sets my ram to 1333 MHz and 1.5v even if the producer says that the ram should run at 1600 MHz and 1.35 v. If I set them to these values myself in the oc menu, they are reset to the default values again immediately after I get another crash.
I have the latest bios and drivers and I don't know what else to try: ( any ideas?
Thank you!

Hi flobelix and thank you very much for your response. I tried your solution and on the next powerup, my pc didn't crash at all and I ran a couple of games and memory intensive programs.
However, unfortunatelly, after I closed the PC for a while and restarted it again, the problems came back. The ram timings don't change anymore in BIOS but the system constantly restarts. I ran memtest for 6 hours last night with both sticks of ram in and it did not find any errors so I can't figure out what's wrong.

Since I'm desperate, I'm just gonna go ahead and reinstall windows again. During the last successful pc run (after I took your advice), I ran MSI live update and installed the rest of the utility software. Maybe this did something to my drivers.... I'm really reaching the end of my possibilities :(

MSI Z68-GD80 (G3) Big Problems

So I have gotten my MSI Z68-GD80 (G3) Motherboard 1050 Watt powersupply from corsair 16GB of ram Corsair Vengence GTX 580 Twin Frozr II 2600K and a H80. At Stock Speeds My computer just frezzes in till i reset my computer or it automatically restarts and i have been losing Work Info because of this problem. In Prime 95 i ran it for a hour no Errors or anything. When i Enable OC genie Prime 95 Crashed in 30 minutes my computer freezes loud noise comes out of my headphones. Then i try pressing reset button no respond so i had to turn of my powersupply. btw my highest temp on the core was 55C. This usally happenes when i play games like: MW2,WAW,Crossfire,CSS,TF2,and so On. Btw im on the latest UEFI and drivers i believe since i used the LiveUpdate.
If i have to RMA this Board can I drop it off at MSI Viking Road Richmond I Live Near there.

Have you tried it without OC Genie ? What are the results ? Which BIOS are you using ?
Only insert one memory module. Do a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<< Remove the battery for a while.
Ensure that EuP2013, Spread Spectrum and XMP are disabled.
Retest with only one memory module.

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.

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.

MSI P67A-G43 and Call of Duty 2

I recently buyed one of this mother boards and i cant play the COD 2 multiplayer mode, an error message occurs in codmp_s.exe... XP, Vista and 7 always the same problem...

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...

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.

Black screen at boot MSI Z77A-G43 with HD7850

Hi,
I've tried everything You suggested in this topic. I've upgrade and downgrade bios (official 2.3, 2.4, 2.8, 2,9 / beta 256, 281,296) few times but still is black screen at boot. Now i'm on the newest beta bios 296 and still same issue on Sapphire HD 7850 with my Z77a-G43 board. I know for sure that sapphire working well because I've checked on other mobo with even worst PSU (400W instead 550W Volcano). Before hd 7850 I had gtx460 and swith those few times and always gtx460 works fine, so I don't understand anything right now.
Tried different slots, also clear cmos.
Board: MSI Z77A-G43
Bios: Version 296
VGA: Sapphire HD7850 1GB
PSU: Modecom Volcano 550W
Intel Core i5-3570k
MEM: Kingston 4GB 1600MHz

Can You help me somehow, maybe I did not check something else?

Do you see the same problem on bios 2.90?
The Z77A-G43 seems the have difficulties accepting HD7xxx AMD VGA cards lately.
It seems that the problem is gone. I thought of it being an ATI driver issue ~ but not even the latest didn't fix it. But since I flashed to BIOS 2.9 I haven't encountered the problem anymore. So I believe something is fixed between 2.3 to 2.9.
However my problem was a bit different that the OP has.
Oh, and I said this on other thread so I say it here too: MSI and Asus 7xxx cards haven't faced the kind of issues Sapphires are having. I'm so glad to my choice... as I almost picked Sapphire but then read comments on Newegg which weren't in favor for Sapphire.

Thank you veru much. Jacob

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.
