MSI Z77-G45 RAM Problems

Hello,
I just built my first PC. I'm running an i7 3770K with the MSI Z77-G45 off an HEC 850w PSU. I'm using RAM I got from a friend, it's G.SKILL PI Series. Right now I have 3 2GB sticks installed, but I'm getting another to max out at 8GB's later this week.
I'm running into a really strange problem. Twice now, when I go to turn on my PC, it goes into an infinite boot cycle, with the computer staying on for only 2 seconds. The only way to fix it is to remove one of the RAM sticks. After I do that the PC boots fine. I can then reinsert the RAM and it recognizes 6GB total. But in the MSI Control Center, it's recognizing the RAM sticks in the wrong DIMM slots. I'm only using DIMM slots 1-3 (The first 3 closest to the CPU). But in the MSI Control Center, it says that I'm using slots 1, 3, and 4. I haven't overclocked the RAM at all. I'm pretty perplexed as to what is happening. Also, when the computer does boot, I don't hear any beeps. Not sure what that means. Help?
Thanks!

3 stick of ram is never a good idea. Best to run with 2. One installed into DIMM 2 & one in DIMM 4.
When you get the 4th stick, I would recommended trying to RMA them for a matched set. Often times even memory of the same model bought at different time is different enough to cause problems.
The 2nd from the CPU and the last from the CPU are the primary DIMMS. (DIMM 1 & DIMM2)

  • Msi z77 g45 bootup problems

    hi, i was trying to install 4x4gb of the same ram, they were all working perfectly on another system, if 4 are in, my pc does a continous amount of turning on and turning off, however if i take two out, windows boots perfectly fine again......what's wrong with this motherboard?

    yup, guess those dimm slots are both shot, i tried switching to dual channel mode, wouldn't work, good times, now i understand why some of my builder friends don't use msi boards....
    As previously stated, this is usually the result of bent cpu pins due to improper cpu installation. It is possible as with all electronics that there is a manufacturing defect, but that is by far and away the leading cause.
    Blaming it on MSI then bashing is not only not allowed, but very irritating.
    The good news, is that even though bent cpu pins void the warranty, MSI usually has a sense of humor about this and repairs the board anyway.
    If you need any further help, please contact MSI and tell them why them how terrible they are for you breaking your board.

  • MSI Z77 MPower Ram issues

    Hi guys
    I recently installed the MSI Z77 MPower after replacing it with the Asrock extreme 4 mobo which i had before, am currently having problems with the RAM it wont boot if i place them in the correct slots for dual channel configurations but if i place them in the last two slots the PC boots up fine.
    My Ram is the G Skill Ripjaw X series 1600mhz model number: F3-12800CL8-4GBXM.
    Its driving me nuts two motherboards and nothing working, i just hope its not relating to my CPU or something like that.
    Please...please guys really need your help with this, because without it running in dual channel configuration my first build feels incomplete due to this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi guys thanks for the replies and sorry for the late reply has i said before my MSI MPOWER Z77 motherboard  is totally brand new and i know for a fact that no bent pins in the cpu socket, from what i am aware of, if my RAM is related due to the type of RAM modules that i am using and you guys are suggesting corsair modules which ones do you guys recommend me getting.  You know when i said only slot 3 and 4 only worked could that be in a result of the RAM am using or not....??
    Thanks in advance guys   

  • MSI Z77 MPOWER RAM compatablilty.

    Hi,
    I am building my first computer and plan on buying the MSI Z77 MPOWER soon, but im not sure if the RAM I have chosen is compatible with the MB as they are not in the compatibility list.
    System specs:
    case: CoolerMaster Storm Trooper
    CPU: i7 3770k (hopefully overclock'd to 4.6ghz)
    RAM: 16GB
    GPU: 2x Nvidia 480 SLI
    HDD: 120GB SSD (to start with)
    OS: Windows 7
    RAM in question:
    Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
    or
    Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY16GX3M2A1600C9R 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
    Thank you in advance
    mike.

    Manufacturers cannot test each and every RAM in the market.
    Corsair Vengeance RAM has proven to be compatible with just about every MSI board. Their RAM is normally JEDEC standard and you should not have any problems. Either one of those kits should serve you well.

  • Z77 MPower RAM problems (BSOD)

    Hi!
    So i'm writing on this forum because im having huge problems with BSOD (0x0000001a - Memory managment) on my z77 mpower mobo.
    My PC:
    Windows 7
    Intel i5 - 3570K
    MSI Z77 MPOWER
    ATI HD5850
    G.Skill 4GBx2 (F3-12800cl9d-8GBXL)
    Corsair TX650
    Latest Beta Bios (Same in 17.3, 17.4)
    Problems emerges when i put RAM in slot #2 and #4 like described in manuals (initial slots). I even get errors on Memtest86 but when I put RAM in slots #1 and #3 there is no Memtest errors.  If i test only 1 bank of memory i get wierd timming in Memtest .
    RAM: 804 MHz (DDR3-1608) / CAS : 6-6-6-20 (11-11-11-28 when in dual channel) - Original timming are 9-9-9-24. And when im using single stick of ram slot 1 or 2 have timmings 6-6-6-20 and slot 3 and 4 have 11-11-11-28. 
    About that error in memtest86. I get error (1 error every loop)  in test 8. If I lauch memtest86 right after BSOD (always the same) i get 300 errors in 10 seconds (SLOT 2 AND 4) .
    XMP does not solve BSODs.
    I dont really know what else could i write to help you understand my problem .

    Quote from: xmad on 21-November-12, 02:19:57
    I suggest you borrow some memory to test(Any other DDR3), if the problem re-presents itself, I suggest you remove the cpu and inspect the cpu pins for damage. Do this with a bright light and magnifying glass.
    already inspected pins and all is fine. Now i need other RAM to test.
    Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 21-November-12, 03:31:36
    If you are getting errors in Memtest, the RAM is most likely at fault and should be replaced. As for the CPU-Z readings, they can't be completely trusted. I see once in awhile on the SPD Tab the wrong chip programming being reported, so glitches exist with the SW. Does CPU-Z still read wrong when just one RAM stick is placed in DIMM 2, the primary DIMM slot which is the second slot from the CPU?
    The RAM sticks should be initially tested each individually using Memtest in the primary DIMM slot, not both together in slots 2 and 4, or 1 and 3. IMO, you have a factory screwup mismatch labeled kit of RAM or something.
    Having some bent or damaged CPU socket pins is also a possible, although this usually is indicated by failure to POST or boot, and DIMM slots 1 and 2, or 3 and 4 will not function at all.
    About that second slot.
    Inserted RAM                  CPUZ detection
         slot1                                 slot 3
         slot2                                 slot 4
         slot3                                 slot 1
         slot4                                 slot 2
    i was testing with only 1 stick. I intend to test RAM in slot 2 like you said but what are those off timmings :S. RAM (9-9-9-24) but in memtest (4.20 or 5.0 Beta) are set to 6-6-6-20 and i cannot change it even with XMP profile or manual settings :S but in cpu-z show the correct timmings.

  • MSI Z77 MPower sound problem

    I have MSI Z77 MPower and i have problem with sound. When i play audio i have feeling that sound automatically volume up and volume down. When i uninstall THX i have feeling that is everything OK but sound is not loud like before.I try on THX turn off smart volume and cristalyzer but problem is still here. Can you help me.

    I had the same issue with an early version of THX, have you downloaded the newest version from the website?
    >>MSI Downloads<<
    Update all of your drivers and re-test. In my case I just un-installed THX until the next version came out and it's fine now.

  • MSI P67A-G45 (B3) - Problems with USB3 & Updates & card reader, etc.

    Hi, I have the MSI P67A-G45 (B3) motherboard and I'm still having problems with it (as from day one). 
    1) I still seem to have some problems with stability with the USB.  I updated the drivers for the Renesas USB to the latest (2.1.39.0) from the station-drivers website,
    I was thinking of grabbing the firmware update as well.  But I wasn't sure if I should.  The page also shows firmware updates for uPD720200 & uPD720200a, and I'm not sure which one is in my motherboard.  Should I update?  If so, which one is in my MB, uPD720200 or uPD720200a?
    2) I'm also having trouble updating the Intel ME Driver and the Intel INF Update (although I'm googled that the INF update doesn't really matter).
    3) I can't seem to get the firewire port working with my WD Home 2TB external HDD (it works through USB though).
    4) I have an old internal flash card (SDHC/MS/MMC/etc.) reader from another desktop that I wanted to add to my MSI one.  Is it possible to do so?  Where would I plug it in? 
    5) Is there anything else I need to update: software or firmware?  I've generally updated the stuff listed in the Live Update (except for the stuff I never installed).
    Thanks.  Please answer any of the questions if you can.

    Update the firmware and re-test:
    >>Firmware and BIOSes<<
    Scroll to the bottom of the page at that link and flash the USB controller firmware.
    Thanks, Renesas update seems to have taken.  Let's hope it's more stable. 
    I have a Core i5-2500k Sandybridge processor.  Is there a point to me updating the BIOS & Management Engine to the latest?  The support page for my MB says don't bother unless I have an Ivybridge processor?
    Quote from: XFM on 13-June-13, 05:56:07
    What PC is the card reader from? Some of those card readers such as from Sony & Dell will only work in the respective brand PCs they came from and not any other. I have one I removed from a Sony and it will not work in my rig. If the card reader is a normal 3rd party model purchased from a store it should work but may require drivers from the manufacturer of it. As far as plugging in a card reader they go to an internal USB header on the MB.
    The old desktop was from computer maker Cisnet. 
    I plugged the 5-hole (or rather 4 holes, since one is blank) plug into JUSB1, but it seems to keep connecting and disconnecting in Windows 7 x64. Windows made drives for all 4 card slots, but whenever I put a memory card in, it would just connect and disconnect and the memory card would never show up.  Is it a driver problem? 
    It's a Foxconn internal card reader, except I can't seem to figure out which model it is despite googling (not indicated anywhere on the card reader). 
    Don't really want to cough up $15-$20 for a new card reader, so I'm hoping to get this one to work.  Thanks.

  • MSI Z77-G45 starts then shuts down and restarts

    Hi,
    I got a brand new MB Z77-G45, with an i5-3470, 2x4Gb Kingston DD3 XMP Blue, and a WD Green SATA 6Gb/s. All that into a Cooler Master N400.
    Plugged everything into the MB, powered it and it starts, the 3 fans spin, the frontal led flashes, as well as the 4 leds on the MB but nothing on the screen (with the "no signal" message)
    and then shuts down. And restarts again. Shuts down, restarts...
    It run with an Advance 600W and all components are new. Any clue?
    J.

    Good news: a friend brough one stick of DDR3 and it worked! So now, it's just a matter of finding out if the Kingston I bought really is faulty, or if, as you suggested, it's a matter of updating the BIOS.
    Either way, I'll post the update and hopefully along a [SOLVED]
    Thanks a lot for your input, guys. 

  • MSI Z87 G45 driver problem

    I have a MSI z87 g45 motherboard along with a i5 4670K. I've downloaded all the drivers directly from the MSI website. But, I am unable to install intel_rst and intel_vga_mb. Windows says "system does not meet minimum requirements". I don't understand. Anyone got a solution?

    Sounds like they are disabled in bios.
    If you are using a discrete card and have multi monitor support disabled the IGD will be disabled by default.
    Intel Rapid Start is disabled (and not really needed) by default so no worries.

  • MSI Z77-G45 GAMING DRAM OC PROBLEM.

    TYPE or PASTE your text here... Hi guys,
    I just bought this mother board running a i5 3570k and G.SKILL Ripjaws X 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 2133. After i start all running the first thing I've done was setting the rams to stock speeds, latency and volts which is speed 2133, timing 9-11-9-28 and voltage 1.65V...Whats happens after i plug this is just weird, my pc starts a rebooting loop that goes on forever. This is my first MSI motherboard I'm currently reading a learning my way around.
    Please guys help to solve this problem.
    TY

    First, that ram isn't the best choice for this system. It's voltage rating of 1.65 and ram timings are out of spec and that leads to instabilities / incompatibilities.
    Let see if we can get this to work for you anyhow.
    1st, is the ram installed in DIMMS 2 and 4 per the manual? (The 2nd from the cpu and last from the cpu)
    2nd: Have you tried manually setting the timings to 11-11-11-30 Command Rate 2t, Speed: 2133, DramV: 1.55  If not test and see if that works.
    What are your other settings? Have you tried running Intel Burn Test on maximum at stock settings to make sure it was stable there?

  • 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 745 Ultra RAM Problem!!!

    Hello,
    I currently have a MSI 745 Ultra Motherboard with the latest installed firmware.
    Ok here is my problem.
    I bought 2 sticks of ram from http://www.crucial.com/uk, the memory was 512MB 333Mhz.  I instantly started getting errors within windows, something like "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL" and "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA", the error occurred totally at random, the computer can be running for 5 mins or 5 hours before the error occurs and I can be doing anything from playing a game or browsing the internet.
    First thing I did was run memtest to see if there was a fault with the memory, It found no errors at all.
    Second thing I tried was to reinstall windows, This didnt solve the error ethier.
    Third thing I tried was to only use one memory module, This is the odd thing, Both memory modules work fine on there own with no errors at all.
    Can you please help?

    Are all DRAM timings set to default or auto detect in BIOS?
    They are all set to the motherboards default

    Have you tried moving the second module into the third DIMM socket?
    Yes I have tried all three ram sockets, they all work fine when 1 ram stick is in and I have tried every combination of 2 ram sticks.

  • Msi z77 GD55 POST problem

    I thought everything was fine this time. It has been for a month.... Now my pc loops rebooting before BIOS. I have clicked the clear cmos on back. I have disconnected everything except cpu and RAM and nothing is getting to Bios. It is the original bios. Not updated as it worked before... Im so distraught after it was ok... Any ideas please help. Im typing via my phone.

    What did you do when the Bam! happened?
     I5-3570k you mean? If so, that would require v13 to work properly 2012-04-13, but if it worked for 2 months that would be very odd. To verify, you could try and i5 2500k or so: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-GD55.html#/?div=CPUSupport but I doubt that is the case.
    Next good idea would probably to build the computer on a non-conductive surface (IE brown cardboard)
    When you take it out, remove the cpu and inspect the pins very carefully with a bright light and zoom from an hd camera or magnifying glass, if its ok re-seat the cpu and install the cooler, 1 stick ram and psu.
    Re-test
    If it fails, even though the psu was tested, try a different one. Still fails? Try a different stick of ddr3.. After that it's either the cpu or mobo, my bet would be on the mobo, but to be sure if you can test the cpu in another computer.
    Ps: When I say try, I mean borrow, perhaps have a friend with a similar set up bring his computer over to help in testing.
    The BAM was turning on my PC in the morning...
    Yes I meant the i5, sorry. The motherboard had whatever BIOS it already had when I started it, would not having updated it killed my CPU?
    Yes I will try and put it on the some card on the wooden table in my living room.
    It has worked without problem and all parts other than the graphics card are brand new.

  • MSI 845PE Max2 RAM Problems

    I have some problems with putting in the 2nd RAM stick.
    I m running on a
    P4 2,4 GHz
    1x 256MB DDR333 RAM pc2700 (from nanya or whatever)
    BIOS 1.2 AMI
    When i put the 2nd RAM stick in, (also 1x256 MB DDR 333 RAM pc2700 but from Twinmos) it boots up but shuts down in 3 seconds, and sometimes it just boots up but the screen stays undetected.
    I have tried a Dane-Elec (256 MB DDR 333 RAM pc2700) and the problem kept occuring.
    I have tried several slot combinations and the Twinmos ram stick doesnt work ny itself (?...so didnt the Dane Elec stick)
    What could be my problem?
    Thanks in advance for the help,
    Ron

    If you have a module that won't work by itself, I would (suspect) a bad module. May not be seated all the way?
    Another thing with this board.....Slot one supports two banks and slots two and three share two banks.

    you say recently, does this mean it was working fine before?
    can you test this headset in another computer?
    Yes it was working just fine before, this issue started happening a couple of weeks ago but I've had this setup for almost a year now.
    I also don't readily have access to another computer to try it out on and testing it on another computer would be a bit of an issue because this only happens like once or twice a day after long hours of gaming.

    That's about the only relevant information I could find regarding this issue.
    I would try the headset out on another computer. This would allow you to verify if the headset is the problem, or if the motherboard/USB ports are the problem.
    I've checked out the link and my gamecoms were also configured for 5.1 surround sound, I reconfigured it to 7.1 surround sound so hopefully this is the solution. Also again I don't readily have access to another computer to test this out.
    Hopefully this fixes it, thank you both for the replies and I will update you if the problem goes away or if it still occurs.
