MSI Z77 - Detects harddrive ONLY in BIOS. Not in Win 7 installation

Hi,
I'm having a problem with my mainboard. I'm running a MSI Z77 and with a Intel 520 series 120GB. I'm using the SATA1 and it does recognize it but ONLY in BIOS. When i'm trying to install it on Windows 7, the SSD drive doesn't show up. So i figured that i try testing with a normal SATA drive that have been working before, and that wasn't working too. I've tried to test everything, so now this is the last call for me or i will return the motherboard for a new one. And i hope i doesn't have too... Does anyone know what this is?
Thank you!

Try placing the IRST AHCI drivers on the usb stick with your usb installation and hit f6 to load the drivers.
You are sure you have this installed onto sata 1 or 2 and not 7 or 8 right?
If it is on 7 or 8 you will need to install the AS Media Sata Driver.

Yes, i'm sure that i installed this onto SATA1 and 2. BTW: i've using MSI Z77 MPOWER. I saw that i didn't write that before.
When do i hit f6? I think you'll have to write very clearly for me, because i'm a beginner.

Bios Switches A / B only boot when OC Genie button is on. MSI Z77 Military Grade

MSI Z77 Military Grade
1. Bios Switches A / B only boot when OC Genie button is on.
2. I normally use Bios B and upgraded the Bios from 17.6 to 17.12.
Flash was successful. I don't remember if I had the OC Genie button on or not.
But when I rebooted I couldn't get into the bios stuck at "A2" (thought I totally corrupted the bios
until I turned on the OC Genie from the motherboard.
However here is the quandary:
3. Neither A or B Bios will boot without the OC Genie button on.
4. The system will cycle twice than stop at A2
5. Eventually I would like to have both Bios-es working optimally.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.

MSI Z77 Mpower Code A0, and wi-fi not detected ...

Hello, from about 20 days I use the new mainboard MSI Z77 Mpower.
My system is composed as follows:
MSI Z77 Mpower, PC1500 DDR3 1866MHz 16GB Corsair Vengeance
1.5V CL9 (2x8GB), CPU Intel i5-3570K 3.4 GHz, SVGA ASUS GTX660 TI, Samsung SSD 128gb 840pro.
I installed windows8pro in UEFI mode with ssd disk partition gpt.
As bios setup is everything default except xmp profile enabled for the Rams, and UEFI boot-legacy because I have linux in another disc.
It all seems to work fine, but I have a few doubts_troubles !
1) Sometimes in debug LEDs, instead of the temperature appears the code A0 ... is it normal or it indicates a problem ?
2) I've never tried the Wi-Fi, it is normal that it only works if the LAN cable is disconnected ?
The problem I had with wi-fi is that sometimes the sistem said that the hardware was not found or not connected ... I tried to install the latest drivers without any success, after several attempts, I think I found the problem ...
Wi-Fi is connected to the mainboard, I think in the USB port, and for some reason it does not make contact, after pulling back slightly the 1 mm. module it started to work.
If instead I press slightly forward, (the pressure that normally is used to attach the antenna) it loses the link ... Do I have to leave it like this or can I do something to resolve the problem ?
3) Normally the steps to open and close the PC are very fast, in some cases, the PC takes a long time to shut down, and once gave me the same problem at the start, after a long wait I rebooted and it started without problems .. .
Normally, the computer is stable ... Do I have to try the thorough ram test ?
I apologize for being longwinded and thank you in advance for the answers.

The wifi adapter is removable?
In case it is, without losing the guarantee.
If you give me confirmation, I try to see if it is just a matter of contacts.
I need specific instructions!
for now it seems to work properly.
If ask rma, mainboard or complete one module wi-fi?
Wi-Fi, it is normal that it only works if the LAN cable is disconnected ?
Thanks pikka68
No, the adaptor isn't removable. Perhaps I misunderstood, you were saying that when you hook up the Ethernet cable, the mainboard shuts off the wifi. You can check in the bios for an option in regards to this or it could be the OS I am not sure. If they are both working when needed, is there really a problem?

MSI Z77 MPOWER USB3.0 Cannot Detect External USB3.0 HDD

Hi I'm new here and I jut bought MSI Z77 MPOWER for my new rig.
I have an issue regarding USB3.0 port that cannot detect my WDC external USB3.0 HDD.
The precise problem is when I plug the HDD to the port for the first time it could detect the HDD. But when I unplug and then plug it again to the same port the port couldn't detect it. But the port could detect my USB2.0 Flashdisk.
My rig specification are :
Intel Core i5 3570K
MSI Z77 MPower
MSI Radeon HD6950 TwinFrozer III
Patriot DDR3 1600 2x8GB
MSI Star USB3/SATAIII add-on card.
Microsoft Windows 7 x64bit.
I already update the BIOS and driver to the latest one but the problem still not perish.

Have the latest BIOS and latest management extension flashed as well.
I have had this work before with no problems. I was one of the first people to get a MSI Z77 Mpower board. Never had this type of problem with any other BIOS. Problem started with 17.6 BIOS. I have had all the BIOS flashed on my RIG since I have had it.
Not sure what the problem is. Thanks for you help. Those over clocking charts are helpful but not specific to MSI Z77 Mpower mother board and the BIOS is different. Not sure if they are updated to include the new CPU features of "Hardware Prefetcher" item and "Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch" that BIOS 17.6 started to use.

BCLK STUCK!!! BIOS 17.6 Problem with Prefetcher???MSI Z77 Mpower

BIOS 17.6 added the new CPU features.
I think the new BIOS CPU features of "Hardware Prefetcher" item and "Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch" options are part of the problem. When I disable hardware prefetcher my memory performance shoots way down. BUGGY!!!!
I am unable to over clock my BCLK. What is going on!!! HELP!!!

Double check the PSU 8-pin CPU power and the mainboard 24-pin power cords are secure to the board.

MSI H61M-E23 (B3) bios not updating ....

Hi,
The board was working fine, it had an old bios, so I when to MSI website to download an up to date bios.
H61M-E23(B3) MS-7680 ver 2.11 (info on the board)
xxx.msi.com / support / mb / H61ME23_B3.html#down-bios
the bios I found on msi site was ver 12.3 @ 2013-01-10, it was an executable file!
(how can I extract the BIOS ROM file from this?)
Anyway I was running win8 x32, I close all programs that was running, then started the bios upgrade, after a few seconds windows started to restart, then I got this message about the BIOS NOT COMPLETED UPGRADE, please insert bios floppy disk or usb.
I then downloaded the last bios file that had a ROM file in he zip file from MSI website "7680vAE.zip"
ver 10.E @ 2012-02-16
I extracted the files to the root of my 2GB USB, then plug it in, restarted my pc, and go a message:
"Updating BIOS ......... file not found"
Copy out the ROM file "E7680IMS.AE0" to a FAT32 formatted 2GB USB stick,
I then copy that file and rename it to "E7680IMS.ROM", then Copy it again and rename it to "AMIBOOT.ROM"
With all 3 files on the root of my usb, I put it in one of the 4 use slot on the back of the motherboard, I use the one below the PS/2 plug.
I am still getting that message, about file not found.
(What file is it looking for?, as in the file name & extension)
I also tried the Ctrl + Home, a few times you would see a 2 letter code on the bottom-right corner of the screen, B4/B2 & A2
Now I am getting the message:
"BIOS update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive and reset system."
but it don't not say what file name and extension to name my bios to get it to load or replace the corrupt one.
Can someone Help ME ?

OK, Thanks.
I formatted my 2GB USB stick, then extracted the C3.rar file to the USB
the file name was EIVB.BIN put it in my computer and the screen, when from B4, to A2 then it started to update the bios.
After it reach 100% it restarted my computer now I am not getting anything from it,
no display, no keyboard light, no mouse light.
but the pc, turn on like nothing is wrong, no beeps.
Was that recovery BIOS for the H61M-E23?
How can i recover from this?
Can I do an AMIBOOT.ROM or AMIBOOT.BIN or AMIBIOS.BIN/ROM ?
Can i use an old bios for this board say 7680vAE and rename the .AE0 file to EIVB.BIN and recover this board ?
Please Help

[REQUEST] Msi gtx 970 gaming 4g new bios

I bought a z77 motherboard and gtx 970 won't work in the pci-e 16x slot, but it works fine in pci-e 4x slot. Pci-e 16x slot works with another gpu. Motherboard bios is already latest, so the last thing I can try is to update the gpu bios.
Thanks.

Unfortunately not. And their support hasn't been much help. All they said is to try and update both bios and vbios, which did nothing. Wouldn't it be a hardware failure if all cards didnt work in the slot? I'm guessing it's a compatibility issue because both gpus are detected, the only difference is that for pci-e speed when gtx 570 is connected it says "x16", and with gtx 970 it's "x0" (seen using iGPU which isn't disabled with gtx 970). It does say "not present" if any of those cards is in the second slot, so there's that. Also, they said that they haven't got any reports of the similar problems with their brand's gtx 970.

MSI Z77 GD55 Slow BootingUp when plugged a Cardreader PROBLEM!!!!!!

I have Msi Z77 Gd55 mainboard. I like this mainboard but I have a little problem. If my card reader is connected via usb and also slots are empty, the first booting black screen is waiting for 10-15seconds. If not plugged it counts the codes in 2seconds and starts loading windows rapidly. It waits at B4 debug code for 10-15 secs and then comes A2 and starts normally my windows.
I have tested other brand Card readers also with internal and external models but the problem is the same. I dont have this problem with my other mobos only having at Z77 GD55.
I have disabled the card reader at the bios Booting/usb but didnt solve the problem exactly.
A bios update may solve this problem................

MSI Z77 Mpower + 3770K cpu doesn't clock down

Hi MSI Guys, need your help :
my back-up rig is now on duty, but cpu does not clock down, in default cpu speed or overclocked cpu speed
MSI Control Center doesn't shows cpu clock down, core temp 1.0 RC4 either, CPU-Z 1-62.0 x64 the same, only real temp 3.70 does.
In bios every thing regarding cstates and power saving are enabled :
RIG INFO:
CPU: 3770K
MAINB: MSI Z77 MPower
RAM: Corsair Platinum 16GB 2400mhz
VGA: 2XMSI Lightning GTX 680
OS: Windows 7X64 (7601)
PSU: Enermax Revo 85+ 1250W

Make sure in advanced, the min max cpu states are what you want them to be and if they are, try the newest beta. Looks like you have H53, it is up to: H57.
Also, after you flashed you bios last, did you re-installed the Intel ME drivers from Intel Downloads?
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=22092&keyword=management+engine&lang=eng
Edit: A clearing of the cmos may help as well. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
i've update the bios as well, and made a correct clear cmos as you linked me to, and even updated those drivers as suggested, and nothing changes
Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 14-November-12, 04:36:38
Tried with CPU Phase Control 'Enabled'?
yes this too doesnt have any effect
just real temp 3.70 is reading the correct cpu speed, i went on another os installed on my system and no program reads cpu clock down & turbo mode speeds, only Real Temp 3.70 does.
why? what is wrong now?

MSI Z77 mpower fan controll

MB: MSI Z77 MPower
In bios the auto option is avaliable only for CPUFAN and SYSFAN1 SYSFAN2. At the same time in ControlCenter it is possible to enable System Smart fan controll for each fan.
Is there any way to save selected options in Controll Center and automaticly apply them on sturtup?

Hi
CC shows very first settings taken from BIOS. So whatever its set in BIOS, CC will show this by default. And sadly cannot be changed to be applied differently. Yet you can change settings in BIOS and you should not need to use CC for fan control.
