MSI-Z77-GD65 w/ HD4000

I am having great sucess w/ my second GD65, and this is the 1U Audio Workstation, which is mostly due to having no Video card, as I am into power/portability.
But I just got a new 8U Rack Mounted LCD Monitor and the stock colors are fine but the angle of view is awful.
I remember being able to tweak the colors and even partail angling of the HD4000, but I can't find it in WIndows 7 Pro x64.
Is it possible this is in the BIOS hidden somewhere?
I have tried every possible avenue and as usual when I really get stuck, I come here.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
JAV

Are you saying that you used to be able to adjust these settings previously via the Intel Graphics Control Panel and that you are now unable to access this dialog ?
Which BIOS version do you have on this board and which BIOS version do you have on the previous board ?
Perhaps the LCD monitor just has a a very limited angle of view ?

MSI Z77-GD65 - 0.00 GHz in BIOS - boot looping

Hello, I have motherboard MSI Z77-GD65, CPU i5 3570K, 12GB KIT Corsair Venegeance.
1. I turned on PC by poweron button, PC starting 1-2 seconds, than power off and after again it power on and normaly starting to Windows 7 x64. This happens with every start PC.
2. In BIOS show Current CPU Frequency 0.00 GHz (34 x 0 MHz). In Control Center iis also 0.00 GHz and 0 MHz BCLK. Why? What is problem?

Have you tested with just RAM stick in the primary DIMM slot? Tested each stick individually?
I tested each stick individually. Each in DIMM 1.

Double check the PSU 8-pin CPU power and the mainboard 24-pin power cords are secure to the board.
I checked, Its Ok.

MOVED: 2 x MSI GTX 680 + MSI Z77-GD65 DOESN't work in SLI

This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=159122.0

First af all thanks to Svet fo his CL_CMOS idea. It HELPED!!!
Yes! Yestarday SLI turned on and I have 6 hours of clear and pure gameplay!!!
Thanks man! I fight with my comp for whole week!!!
But with light detail: (301.10 video driver) in NVIDIA Control Panel radio button (Maximum Perfomance 3D - SLI) WAS TURNED OFF, but lower I could's see "SLI ON" and all went pretty well.
For 6 hours I didn't reboot, just got pleasure.
Then I rebooted and all became the same (black screen, unstable , etc.)
Today I read thaeon's answer about new video drivers and installed them with one memory stick in dimm1.
AND ALL WORKED!!!
Added second memory stick and...
YES - IT's WORKING!!!
Thank you all! For helping me to resolve this problem.
I am situated 4000 km from nearest MSI certified center and shop, where I bought all equipment.
So for me it was crucial to solve it not to change equipment.
P.S.:
It's stable now, but I have one job to do - Install my ASUS XONAR Essense STX.
I hope all will be fine.

Z77-GD65 no display (MSI 770 TF)

Hi! I just recently bought a new video card, an MSI GTX770 TF 2GB, installed it and got a dE error code. It does not exist in the manual and I do not have any idea what this is. The video card works on my brother's PC with the exact same configuration. What is going on here. Can anybody please tell me?
Regards,
Ryan

Board: MSI Z77-GD65

I've tried the same card on my brothers PC and it works.
It works when I put back my old card, an MSI 560ti. I had to switch to my old card to flash the BIOS because I only get a blank screen or no signal when I use the new 770GTX.
We have the same configuration but the BIOS settings. He has 10.6 and I have 10.11
Tried flashing to 10.6 but still getting the DE code
Tried flashing version 10.8, 10.10 and 10.11

Z77-GD65, problems with video signal

Got some problem: with external graphics card (ASUS GTX660-DC2TG-2GD5) the signal disappears after a while (about 1-3 minutes) - display goes off and has floating table "No signal".
Without external card, through the integrated video - all works fine.
Has anybode had this problem?
I had a BIOS like 10.0 and then updated it to the latest version ( 10.8 ) via M-FLASH, but nothing has changed.

Yes, the forum's USB method is the safest there is. That and the reflash will ensure the ME firmware has been updated properly. Yes, you do have a safety net with the B BIOS chip.
As a side note, you shouldn't have any graphics problems when W7 is installed like some have with W8.
Edit: Problem is you need an OS installed with the forum method.
2nd edit: Recommend then to run on the onboard ports to the monitor with the discrete card removed to get the OS, drivers, reflash, etc. taken care of. Then the matter of the graphics card not working right can be addressed.
3rd edit: Has the graphics card been tested in another machine to verify it is not possibly faulty?
4th edit: Sorry about all the edits, but as I think about it, more things come to mind. Have you been connecting the discrete card with HDMI or DVI? Some compatibility issue can be a possibility with a non compliant v1.4 HDMI cable or a monitor conflict. Some Apple monitors have been known to be problematic from time to time.

MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Motherboard Integrated Graphics

Hi i'm a newbie to computer parts and the computer world in general on what does what. I'm only 15 but i'm looking to upgrade my Mobo and CPU I have found a bundle (MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Z77 Motherboard and Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40 GHz Quad Core Unlocked Bundle) on tiger direct and it looks like a good deal. But before I buy it I WAS going to upgrade my GPU before I were to get a new Mobo and CPU. I've done some research on the MSI Z77A-GD65 and I saw it has integrated graphics, but I don't entirely know what that is. I was curious if that's a graphics card and if so what it compares to. I have a Nvidia GTX 9800 graphics card that's fairly old now and I was wondering if a Mobo with integrated graphics acted as a graphics card and if so what it would compare to. If you want to know anymore specs about my computer let me know and i'll be happy to give them out.

It's not the mainboard to have integrated graphics, it's the cpu. The Core i5-3570K has Intel HD Graphics 4000 integrated. The mainboard only offers the output connectors to use it. All current generation Intel cpus have integrated graphics which can be used or not. The HD Graphics 4000 is not meant for gaming of course and would perform worse than your GTX9800 in a 3d game. With a supported mainboard (like the Z77A-GD65) the integrated graphics can be used along the discrete vga for Lucid MVP to better performance and gaming experience (see for more details: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160519.0).

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.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-GD65.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064
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.

Problem with downgrading bios. MSI P67A-GD65 (B3).

Hi!
I'm having problems with downgrading my bios from version 4.3 to 1.19. I want to downgrade, because 4.3 doesn't want to boot when I use xmp settings for my RAM ( that might be related to my CPU since I have i5 2500k which is 32nm and 4.3 version of BIOS is recommended for 22nm processors ). When I try to flash with the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool I'm getting an error: "Rom file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID". I've ran out of ideas how to downgrade my bios so I'm asking you for help. My specs:
MOBO: MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
CPU: INTEL CORE i5 2500K
RAM: G.SKILL RIPJAWS X 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHZ CL6 (F3-12800CL6D-4GBXH)

Random lock ups with MSI P67A-GD65 (B3). Please help!

Hello all,
I just built a new system with the following components:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
EVGA 012-P3-1570-AR GeForce GTX 570
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
Thermaltake Black Widow W0319RU 850W ATX 12V PSU
Antec Lanboy air case
2X Western Digital VelociRaptor WD1500HLFS 150GB in RAID0 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
This was supposed to be my dream computer, but it has turned into a nightmare! It locks up constantly. Usually the mouse pointer will disappear and the computer will just freeze up. This normally seems to occur after the computer has been idle for a while. I have read that there might be compatibility issues with the MSI P67A-GD65 and the GTX 570 video cards. Can anyone confirm this? Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? The only thing event viewer is showing is the unexpected shutdown when I have to power cycle it. Thanks in advance!

That can happen, & it can really mess things up if two kits are attempted to be run together. The platform is DDR3 1333 as to native support by the CPU IMC. If the system can't run on 1333 RAM speed at CR 1, 9 9 9 24 @ 1.50v's, then something is wrong. No system should ever have to use an OC (or X.M.P.) as a workaround to make it work. That's why I recommended the Crucial 1333. Plug one stick in the blue primary dimm slot to get everything loaded & checked out, & go from there.
Exactly which SATA ports are you using for the HDD's & RAID? White Marvell or Intel SATA III, or the black SATA II?
Unfortunately, my local shop didn't have the Crucial, so I grabbed the Corsair instead. The Velociraptors are running from SATA 1 and 2 (the top white connectors). I also have 2X HITACHI Deskstar 2TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s running in RAID0 from SATA 3 and 4 for storage (this computer is intended for HD video editing, compositing in After Effects, etc.). Sorry I forgot to mention that in the original post!

MSI Z77 M-Power - Network Cable Unplugged

Hey, first post here. I just (today) built a rig with the MSI Z77 M-Power mobo and everything works great! Everything but the internet. The network controller doesn't want to recognize my connection. The network cable works fine on my laptop, so it can't be that. Any help would be great - it's running Windows Server 2008 R2 (I'm using it as a server). The router is the D-Link DIR-655 (wired connection).

Did you flash your bios? Is you mac address all 8's or close? 88:88:88:87 or os?
I haven't flashed my BIOS. I just bought this mobo today. And my MAC address is D4:3D:7E:37:A9:A9. Also, speaking of BIOS - When I go into the BIOS the display is all messed up. There's flickering... I can still see the options but the system temperature/time/everything outside of the main options displays large and out of place.

Msi Z87-GD65 Booting Failure With eSATA Drives

Hi Folks,
Before I go down the (probably ill-fated) Customer Service path I thought I'd address the forum here on a little problem I'm having with my Z87-GD65.
IN essence, if I have a hard drive connected to my eSATA port the PC won't boot. I'm using an ICYDOCK 4 bay external enclosure (MB561US-4SB if interested). If the drive itself is on but the HD trays are ejected then it boots. If any of the drives are secured then it'll hang at a post-BIOS/pre-Windows screen where all I get is a blinking cursor for about 30 seconds and then it disappears to a plain black screen. If the device is powered off then it boots.
I've checked the BIOS with one of the HDs running and it doesn't appear within my boot list - in fact, except for one selection in the bios allowing me to disable eSATA there really isn't much I can do there.
I've upgraded my BIOS to 1.30 from 1.00 and the process seems to move a bit further - now I get the oh-so-pretty ugly Windows logo and that's all.
When I do actually boot the PC with the ICYDOCK off then I'm able to get into Windows normally, and turn on the ICYDOCK. After a few seconds all 4 hard drives report in and everything's fine.
I've been using this ICYDOCK for about a year and a half, with 2 other motherboards (neither were an MSI) and i7 cores, and neither of them caused me any issues. I remember that neither of those boards had the port multiplier eSATA capability so I had to buy a controller card with that capability. I could probably dig that up and see if the problem remains.
In case you're wondering, if it helps, I built a Msi Z87-GD65/4770 i7 - based PC with 2 internal 2TB Hard Drives, and 16gb RAM. I already mentioned the ICYDOCK. I used LiveUpdate to install all the latest drivers & BIOS before uninstalling it.
I build & repair PCs for a living so I'm pretty familiar with what's going on with the system. I figure that there must be something happening between the BIOS and Windows "handoff" of the ICYDOCK, but I'm damned if I can figure out just what.

More information please. PSU, OS being used, etc..
Live Update is best uninstalled. Flash UEFI/BIOS the safer way;

Multiple Problems with MSI 890FXA-GD65

I am having problems getting a clean build of new components to work. The components are:
motherboard is MSI 890FXA-GD65
processor is AMD Phenom II X2 565 Callisto
memory is 2x 4Gb G.Skill Ripjaws X model F2-12800CL9D (CAS 9, Unbuffered DDR3 1600)
disk drive is a Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1 TB SATA III
card is an MSI N460GTX Cyclone 768D5/OC.
power supply is an Antec NEO ECO 620C 620W
operating system is Windows 7
All items are brand new, and being assembled for the first time, so nothing is overclocked.
I have three problems. First is that the video output is flaky. I initially thought that the board wasn't POSTing, because I was getting no audible 'beeps' and there was no display output (does this board not have a speaker or speaker header?). Through trial and error, I discovered that the board was POSTing, but I could not see anything because of a strange video problem:
If the monitor is connected when the video output changes, then the video will not work, and disconnecting/reconnecting will not fix it. For example. If the video cable is plugged in during a cold start, I will get no video output. If I wait a few seconds until the Bios loads, and then plug in the video, then I get a video signal. However, if I leave it plugged in as the video output switches when Windows starts up, then I lose video again. Only by plugging in and then unplugging during the same video output mode can I use the output.
I have tried 2 different video cards (same mdodel number) with the same result. I have tried switching my memory with only 1 stick and with both sticks installed. I don't have another processor to try.
The second problem is that Windows will not run with the USB controller turned on in BIOS. It starts 'loading files' and then just hangs.
The third problem is that the MSI utility program will not run properly. I tried to install the updated chipset drivers, but the installation hangs.
Thanks for any help!! I am on the verge of returning the board to NewEgg after many hours of trying to troubleshoot this build.

Thanks for the reply. I am using the DVI output on the video card connected to a VGA monitor with an DVI-VGA adapter.
No external USB connections have ever been installed.
I don't have any other DDR3 laying around. Is there a recommended memory list on the MSI site? I couldn't find one.

However its down to the CPU as memory controller is there.
You should use AMD tested memory sticks

MSI Z77A-GD65 No Post

When I first started my new system, I did get a display and entered the BIOS. I changed the boot order to put my optical drive first, put in a live CD, restarted, and got a black screen. I ejected the CD, restarted, and got a black screen again. I didn't get a display again until I disconnected all my drives whereupon I got a map error and was able to get back into the BIOS. A web search indicated this is a bug that occurs when no drives are connected so I reconnected the drives, restarted, and got a black screen again. I disconnected the drives again and restarted but I got a black screen again (no map error this time). I tried connecting my monitor to the graphics card instead of the motherboard and that didn't work. I tried removing the graphics card and video capture card and that didn't work. I tried clearing the CMOS by pushing the button and even removing the battery for several minutes and that didn't work.
Here's where things get weird. I tried testing the RAM by pulling out one stick and the system kept restarting itself: it would turn on then power off a few seconds later then, after a few seconds, start up again, etc. I had to wait till it powered off and quickly pull out the power supply's cord to get it to stop. I removed that stick and put the other one in instead and the same endless loop of restarting happened again. When I put both sticks back in it stopped restarting.
Since I couldn't get into BIOS A, I switched to BIOS B and got a display again. There was no option to restore BIOS A so I was forced to continue using BIOS B. Since my graphics card was removed at this point, I changed the BIOS to IGD instead of PEG for graphics and shut down. I reconnected my drives then restarted and got a display again and entered the BIOS. I changed the boot order to put my optical drive first, put in a live CD, restarted, and got a black screen. I ejected the CD, restarted and got a black screen. I disconnected the drives and restarted hoping I would get a map error and could get back into the BIOS but got a black screen again. I've tried switching back to BIOS A but still can't get a display.
I tested the RAM by putting it in my old desktop one stick at a time, and then both sticks at once, and it worked fine. I installed the optical drive and one of the hard drives into my old desktop and successfully installed and booted linux off of it with the no problems. The second hard drive does appear to be borked and my old desktop froze when I tried to boot with that drive installed. However I've tried starting my new system multiple times without that damaged drive connected and I still get a black screen so I don't see how it could be the problem.
The LED on the motherboard mostly alternates between 19 and 72. It will run through a bunch of codes too quickly to read then pause for a second on 19 (Early South Bridge Initialization) then run through a bunch of codes too quickly to read then pause for a second on 72 (Late South Bridge Initialization) then go back to 19, etc. I've sometimes also seen it pause for a second on 55 (Early Memory Initialization) and 4F (which doesn't appear in the manual).
I'm guessing it has to be the motherboard or CPU but I don't know which. I don't have another motherboard to test the CPU on and no other CPU to test on this motherboard (the old desktop is AMD).
Hardware:
MSI Z77A-GD65 motherboard
Intel Core i5-3570K CPU
G.Skill DDR3-1600 CL9 1.5v 4096MB (x2) RAM (tested in old desktop)
Seagate Barracuda 1TB hard drive (tested in old desktop)
Pioneer BDR-208DBK blu-ray drive (tested in old desktop)

Test each stick in Dimm 2 (2nd from the cpu) Make sure they are installed into DIMMS 2 & 4 (2nd from cpu and last)
Did you try a full cmos clear on Bios A?
If so, you can recover using this guide:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160450.0
With the z77a-gd65, you will need to flash bios B to version 10.5. In that version in the security section is a multi bios update. Use that and it will recover bios A.
For bios flashing: >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

HELP! My 2011 MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) build suddenly refuses to boot

Hello, I am new to this forum because I hadn't had any troubles yet.
I built my system in July/August 2011. Here's what it has:
MSI P67A-GD65 (B3)
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge CPU
16GB Corsair Vengeance 240-pin DDR3 1600
650w Corsair Enthusiast PSU
MSI N460GTX Cyclone 1GD5/OC GeForce Graphics Card
1x 2TB Hitachi 7K3000 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s (With Windows 7 64-bit installed)
2x 3TB Seagate 7200RPM SATA 6 GB/s (For storage)
I have used this computer for graphics and video editing...it has served me faithfully. Yesterday evening while editing a Word document, I got "do you want to save your changes before exiting?" and of course I said yes. Then to my surprise my computer proceeded to shut down and reboot. At first I thought maybe I missed a Windows Update message telling me it would reboot in xxx minutes so I was not alarmed. But then as I watched it reboot, it gave me the POST message that there was no disc drive recognized. I thought that was weird since I never noticed it before. But then after the BIOS screen with the MSI graphics thing I was faced with a blank screen except for a flashing cursor two inches from the top of the screen. When I realized that this wasn't going to leave, I got a bit worried so I did a reset through my tower's button and same thing happened...I unplugged everything and let it sit for a few minutes... restarted 10 minutes later....same thing. Did it again and then went into my BIOS to look around. It showed no HDD's connected and I had 3 hooked up. I was concerned my HDD went bad so I connected it to another pc and accessed it with no trouble as another storage...I was happy my files are all there. So then I reconnected to my original build and got the same POST message, but this time the drives were visible in BIOS....but still no boot.
I have another blank SATA HDD so I removed all my HDD's and connected it by itself along with my SATA DVD drive and I tried to do a clean Win7 install on it. But at the point in the install process where it asks WHERE you want to install Windows, no drives showed up. So that door was closed. I tried the same thing again after swapping SATA port locations, thinking 1 was defective, but I got the same treatment from all of them...nothing recognized during the install process, although the drives are showing up in BIOS....
I think I know why the POST message is saying 'no drives detected,' though...I read it is saying that based on the SATA ports being used...I have 8 SATA's on my MOBO...4 6gb/s; 4 3gb/s. 7-8 are 6gb/s and ONLY when I have a HDD plugged into one of them does it show on the POST screen...which I still think is weird, and seems to have just started happening last night with the rest of the problems...but I could live with that since I could disable the message in BIOS I think.
But I have tried to clear the CMOS...all three ways...jumper, button, battery. I reset BIOS thru BIOS.... Nothing changes. BTW, in BIOS I ran a RAM memory check and it passed. Besides, I am not hearing any weird beeps...related to that....
I don't know why this would happen after working perfectly for 2 years... And why would it politely shut down in the beginning of the process anyways? I mean...I appreciated being asked to save my changes...but I don't know what else to do...PLEASE OFFER SUGGESTIONS...any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance...I hope someone can help me! I am still covered by warranty...but I want to do this right.
Thanks!
Marie
EDIT: BTW, I have also tried unplugging everything from the pc except for the DVI and power plug in case that was interferring....

On a slightly different topic...would it work (I have never done this!) to take my OS HDD and boot it on another PC? I am thinking this would not work because of system files and etc., but I have always wondered this and now would be the best time for me to know
It mostly works if the components used aren't too special. As you have no RAID setup it should work. However you will need to reactivate Windows once it made it. Of course you will also need all drivers for the new machine. Be aware that you might not be able to connect to the internet before you installed the proper driver for the ethernet adapter.

MSI Z77A-GD65 going crazy after Windows 8/8.1 installation.

Hey so I decided to buy a new SSD and update my system to Windows 8.1 (coming from 7), mainly for optimal BF4 gaming experience, (I also intend buying a 290X lightning or two when they come out...) . But during the process I encountered a truckload of problems, my main one is this: I was using bios version 10.7 for almost a year, with a stable 4.8GHz OC (which I managed to get done after each bios flash since I built the rig in early 2012), everything went great - this was on Windows 7.
However when I migrated to Windows 8.1 my PC wouldn't boot anymore and after 5-6 attempts it did boot and it said that all my settings were reset to default, fine. I restarted and from then on it wouldn't boot anymore no matter what. The error code on the mobo is always "19" which in manual says it's Early South Bridge initialization. I have no ideea what to do anymore, I tried plugging out SSD, HDDs, GPUs, RAM sticks, clearing cmos with back panel button. It all boiled down to either not booting or going into a boot loop.
My only solution was to switch to bios B on the multi-bios switch which is running 10.2 an almost 2 years old bios. That beeing said I can boot normally now (and fast), and the system runs great but the bios version is so old that it does not let my 2x680 MSI Lightnings work in PCIE 3.0, only 2.0...
So i'm VERY scared of what to do next, because I don't want this second bios to corrupt as well.
I always flashed my bios with Live update 5, I did this with each new bios release and never had a problem but I read that the latest bios, 10.10 is buggy, and I don't know HOW to flash my bios to an earlier version, maybe even 10.7 or 10.8 in another way. Is there a way to safely flash BOTH bioses and to repair my A bios at the same time?
TL'DR, if there isn't any safe solution to my problem I might as well just press in OC Genie button and have a mild OC until sometimes next year when I'll get a new mb + cpu + ram anyway. But if there is one, please let me know.
Any imput is apreciated, THANKS!

I just found a post of mine (from another forum) from when the error 19 thing first started, this is what happend:

I decided to buy a new SSD and update my system to Windows 8.1 (coming from 7). And I encountered a truckload of problems, my main one is this: I was using bios version 10.7 for almost a year, with a nice 4.8GHz OC stable, everything went great - this was on Windows 7.

As you can see it had nothing to do with me doing a bad BIOS flash, actually not even the OC... isn't there perhaps a way to fix that A BIOS?
