MSI Z77A-G41 Boot Problems

Just bought the mobo brand new, with ram & cpu connected everything spins up but no output to display, if I add gfx still no output to display, if I add my ssd the following happens h**p
I have tried all 4 sticks of ram in dimm 2 slot and same problem persists. I have tried a blank HDD non SSD and nothing outputs to display, tried an alternate blank SSD no output, tried a DVD RW no display.
My assumptions are that CPU isn't faulty given that it briefly posts with the SSD, the RAM could be the issue if the mobo is picky but doubt all four sticks are faulty.
For info the Windows 8 installation on the SSD is from a previous build and if I could get it to post would format and reinstall.
Is the mobo faulty or are the parts incompatible? Any suggestions gratefully received, thanks.
Full list as follows
MSI Z77A-G41
i5-2500k
120GB Corsair Force 3
16GB (4x4) Kingston Hyper X Genesis Grey DDR3
Corsair 650w PSU

Most of the time, that is never going to work.
What connection method are you using to connect to a monitor? Onboard graphics or discrete card? And what is the monitor model?
I never intended the SSD to work, however by connecting the SSD with the windows installation on it is the only way I have been able to get anything to display.
I could only get the VGA connection to work connected direct between the mobo and my monitor, hdmi doesn't. My 560ti won't display anything either.
The monitor is a Digimate something or other but have had it several year with no real problems.
Thanks

MSI Z77A-S03 Boot problems

I recently had my motherboard upgraded to a MSI Z77A-S03. Now, every time the computer starts up, the boot sequence is lost, so I have to enter BIOS and set it.
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 2.40GHz
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
BIOS Version: E7752IMS V2.10
Drives installed:
SATA2: Corsair CSSD-F115GB2-A ATA (115 GB, NTFS, the drive I want to boot from)
SATA1: Samsung HD103SJ ATA (1 TB, NTFS)
SATA5: Samsung HD103UJ ATA (1 TB, NTFS)
SATA3: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-222AB ATA (DVD)
BIOS can find all the drives, but insists on trying to boot from the DVD.
EDIT: Or possibly from "UEFI: Built-in EFI shell" (whatever that is); boot menu and BIOS setup say differently.

bump removed.
Sorry.

have you adjusted your boot priority properly?
Yes, have to do that every time the computer starts up, or it stops with a "Bootmanager not found" error. Every other setting (clock, etc.) seems to survive the reboot. Only the boot priority is lost.
Quote
what's your current bios version?
E7752IMS V2.12
EDIT: Don't know if it's relevant, but I've tried to disconnect the two Samsung drives, to see if any of them are the problem. Made no difference.

MSI Z77A-G41 Audio problems

Hello.
My Soundcard (Creative x-fi) Did crash so i decided to use the motherboards own Audio card. When i plugged in and Installed drivers for the Motherboards Audio it didnt work so i checked my Device manager which said (Check picture/Link) scr.hu/0qqt/j7p9q
I really wants it to work... Or i cant game anymore because this is a major problem for me.

MSI Z77A-G41 USB 3.0 and PS2 problems

I have had this board for about 4 months now and have come to realize that non of the USB 3.0 ports on the back of the board work, nor do the PS2 ports for my keyboard. I tested this in Windows 8 and nothing registers when I plug my USB 3.0 flash drive in (which works in any other USB 2.0 port). I try booting from the flash drive through the port but it doesn't detect it.
As for the PS2 ports my keyboard uses a USB to PS2 adapter. I plug that in and nothing happens. I don't even know if power flows through those ports. I'll have to check that later.
Could this be an issue with the BIOS or perhaps be a defect?

Double check all the applicable drivers are installed. Any yellow exlamation marks in Device Manager? Also, that the USB controller(s) are all enabled. Have a look at the MSI Website for any current W8 supporting drivers, or a UEFI/BIOS that improves W8 support.

No Intel USB 3.0 driver for W8 was found at the MSI Website, but believe the W7 driver should work.

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.

New MSi Z77A - GD65 DIMM problem

I was wondering if anybody else has a similar experience with this.
My build:
i7 - 3770k 3.4 ghz
MSi z77A - GD65
MSi 760 Geforce GTX 4GB VRAM
Rosewill Xtreme RX750 - D - B
3 x 4 GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 RAM
So everything wrongs except for the DIMM. The two DIMMs closest to the CPU causes the system to not POST. The debug stays at 55 which indicates that there's no memory. When I installed two sticks into the slots furthest away from the CPU, it boots up just fine.
I tried booting up with one stick in the DIMM furthest away from the CPU for each ram stick. They all result in the system booting up just fine. I tried using 4 x 2 gb RIPJAW ram sticks and again the system errors at 55. The common denominator here is that the two DIMM slots closest to the CPU are not working and causing everything to freak out.
This is my theory on what's going on. I have no idea how to fix this other than returning the board for a new one. Hopefully I can get some suggestions or advice on what to do from here. Maybe my mobo isn't broken, and it's just me doing something wrong. I certainly hope so because I'm a pretty lazy dude. Bought this board because my other mobo didn't boot up. Now this board isn't reading my memory. What gives??? Any help is appreciated.

Enter bios and check if the intel ME firmware is properly installed. If not it will show N/A in the bios.
My PC with the regular Z77A-GD65 worked flawless for a year, then I had problems. My gcard died and I had massive bootproblems. I tried a lot to figure out the reasons. All I could come up with was a faulty board or incompatible memory, like you think you have. I switched from 4x4Gb to 2x8 Gb in slots 2 + 4, but it didn't help.
After I noticed Intel ME firmware wasn't installed, I tried that. I used the forum tool and most important: I used a bios version with Intel ME firmware included. Downloaded it from an attachment in these forums (so don't download bios versions from the official MSI website!). I flashed the bios and everything worked great again!
Try that first, before you start inspecting CPU pins or change to different memory. I installed BIOS version 10.8B3 (beta), but watch out, I think your gaming edition of the Z77A-GD65 has a different bios. Check the forums which (beta) version is the most reliable.

Fredrik:
Thanks for backing me up while I was out of the forum.
Usually, when I clean my cpu, I use a Q-tip damped with Isopropyl alcohol and then remove the remaining grease on the processor die. For the heatsink, I use the same Q-tip or a piece of damped cotton with isopropyl alcohol also.
I like the idea of the nailpolish remover since it makes sense because it can remove even the toughest resin.
See you later, and I hope our new friend has sorted the problem.

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 Z77A-G41, Ivy bridge compatible

Hello! I am planning on ordering a Z77A-G41 motherboard and a i5 3570k processor. It says it's Gen 3 compatible but I watched a YouTube clip of a guy building his computer with the same exact motherboard that I am planning to buy and he said he had to update his BIOS to make it compatible. Other than that I can't find any other information regarding this.
My question is: Do I have to update the BIOS for the motherboard to support i5 3570k or will it work right away?
Thanks!

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 30-May-13, 16:49:25
Yes they are. I believe Bernhard missed the Z77 and was thinking Z68.
The other way to update the UEFI/BIOS without a CPU is to use an SPI flash programming device.
Another possible is to contact MSI Technical if you can get the mainboard serial number in advance and ask them what it shipped with from the factory;

Sweet, thank you! I'll go ahead and contact them :D

MSI Z77A G45 boot loop

Hi everyone!
I just tried to flash my MSI Z77A G45 today from the bios version 2.1 to 2.A.
I had blackscreens all the time when i tried to flash it with the M-FLASH utility from my bios.
Then everything just started normaly (after each blackscreen), but there wasn't any update, i tried to force the update with LiveUpdate.
And now when i try to start the computer, i just get a blackscreen (no signal for the monitor) and a boot loop.
It just stops and reboot after 10s.
My hardware is working perfectly, i think this is from a corrupted bios issue.
Which things i tried:
- Doing a clear CMOS (nothing happens)
- Removing the CMOS battery for 10 minutes (the reboot loop stopped, but there was not any display, i restarted the PC then and the reboot loop started again)
- Cleaning my PC (from dust and things like that), it was not efficient at all
- Booting from a USB key with the bios in, and formated as FAT32, nothing happens too. It doesn't recognize the USB key and anything else (keypad etc.) so the blackscreen was there again.
My Hardware:
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570 3.4 Ghz
Motherboard: MSI Z77A G45
GPU: None (Intel graphics 4000)
RAM: 2x4Gb Corsair Vengeance
HDD: Crucial M4 SSD 64Gb
Power supply: Corsair 850W
Do you think that i need to send my mother board back to the RMA?
I hope you will be able to help me, or find a solution
Thanks in advance

You can try the steps found here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119375.0
Otherwise, it is RMA time.
Next time use the forum flash tool and archives found on the forums.

Z77A-GD65 boot problem

Hello,
the display on motherboard keep showing changing codes until i force shut down but nothing on the screen, i cleared the CMOS many times but no use.
also removed the RAM and the mobo showed error 55 correctly.
this is for 1st bios
after that i switched to 2nd Bios and it worked and boot into windows CD but when i choose to repair my windows installation it said there's no valid windows installed, then it fails to boot again to CD and the motherboard only detect one hard drive... it gives AE error like nothing attached to it...
note: linux live USB work fine and i can browse my HDDs with no problem.
is my motherboard broken or there's solvable problem?
my rig:
Intel i7-3770K
GPU: GTX 680 lightning
RAM: dual kingston hyperX 4Gb DDR3 1833MHz
PSU: seasonic platinum 1000W

it started after i installed linux, there was a double windows boot problem so the GRUP boot loader didn't detect windows...
to solve it i deleted one boot file from windows HDD, and wanted to refix the boot using windows CD...then all of this started
and no i didn't try to flash bios at all, i was consider this as solution to what happened.
thanks~

MSI Z77A-G45 Boot Loop problem

Hi,
I recently built my computer 2-3 months ago. It worked fine until a couple days ago it started boot looping. It doesn't even get to BIOS. I think it's my motherboard gone bad. I switched CPU and memory with another computer and it works fine but when i put it in my computer it boot loops again. before i go through this whole warranty ordeal does anyone have any ideas i could try? Thanks!

>>Posting Guide<< please list all the components in your system!
Motherboard?
CPU?
RAM?
GPU (if you have a dedicated graphics card)?
PSU (Power Supply Unit - please list the +12v rail/s amperage rating/s on its data sheet)?
what you have described is usually either a Bad Motherboard or a Inadequate/overstressed PSU! so the components list of what you used to build the system is Very important to determine what exactly has gone wrong.

MSI X48C Platinum booting problems

Hello all,
First of all, I tried using the searchfunction multiple times and didn't find anything helpful.
So I hope you guys can try and help me with this problem since it's a real pain in the ass.
I built a new setup using:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300
OCZ Reaper PC3 10666 DDR3 2x2GB
OCZ ModXtream Pro 600W
WD 80GB SATA HDD
XFX 9800GTX+
The system booted fine until it got to the POST-screen with the MSI logo. I googled and figured that the Q8300 was not supported and I had to update the BIOS.
With that being said, I got a replacement CPU (C2D E6600) and tried to boot the system. But I gave me and beep-errorcode; 2 short beeps 6 long beeps, no videosignal
I thought it was either the RAM, videocard or the CPU,
so I replaced the RAM with; DDR2 RAM (Kingston KVR800D2N6/2G)/OCZ PC2 8500 1GB (using the Turbocards for DDR2)
the videocard with: ATI HD 5470
and the CPU with a Pentium 6 630
How many times I tried swapping components, it didn't really matter. The system would still give me these cursed 2 shorts beeps and 6 long beeps.
What I've tried so far;
Clearing the CMOS using: https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-clear-the-cmos
Removing the CMOS battery
Switching between hardwarecomponents as stated above
Reseating the same memory multiple times
In short:
Errorbeep-code: 2 short beeps and 6 long beeps, no videosignal
Really hope you guys can help me,
Thanks.

Confirm that you tested your Power Supply in another system.
Have you tested the MB outside the case, just resting on a non-conductive surface.

MSI K9N DIAMOND boot problems

Hi.
I have given the main PC sig below to my son. And I now have / building
MSI K9N DIAMOND AM2 nvidia nForce 590 SLI 8channel audio DDR2 ATX
Corsair 1GB DDR2-6400 128Mx64 non-ECC 240 DIMM unbuffered 5-5-5-12
AMD 2x 5600 cpu
I have kept the PSU, wifi card.
(will update when up and running.)
When I put his harddrive (SATA) into his new PC it saw it straight away and booted into xp,without having to reinstall . Great.
I put my drive into the new AM2 board and I get three beeps (I read that's the USBs)
Then it either just hangs on a black screen or if i enable raid it tries then the BSOD code 0x0000007E which i believe is just a standard error message.
The D-bracket has 4 green lights...
does anyone know why I cant just boot up my drive like i could with my sons, is it because i'm switching to AM2 from 939?
When I enter the raid setup (F10) it can see the drive but next to where it says bootable drive which is normally a yes or a no it has N/A and I cannot change it.
I belive it is a raid/ driver problem I'm thinking its the AM2 upgrade.
I did not get any floppy raid drivers with my mo/bo.
If I reinstalled Xp would I need to install raid drivers during setup? (F6)
I have clears cmos
Many thanks for any help.

I plugged my sons drive into my K9N Diamond and it is saying the same thing in the raid setup (F10) .....When you have the option to set as the bootable drive
Quote "set as boot drive N/A"
It can see the drive OK, I can delete array and rebuild it
Is there something in the bios that I need to tick or untick/ enable for it to boot from the drive?
any help would be great.
thanks

MSI Z77a G43 boot loop

Hi,
I have read all issues about boot loop problems, but nothing fit mine.
I bought MB MS Z77A G43 and Core i5 3570K. After building it, the computer is restarting again again.
I clear the CMOS, boot and in the monitor it says, that setting was reset to default, it shows my CPU,RAM,HDD etc. and it gives me 2 choices:
1) Press F1 to run setup
2) Press F2 to continue.
I tries several times both option, but after pressing the button F1 or F2, the computer starts to boot loop again. I cant go to the bios. Dont know if the problem is CPU or MB. I tried another power supply, but it didnt solve it. Any ideas?
Thx for helping

Hello again,
I have change CPU and MB for the new ones, but problem still occurs. I found an information on the web, that i5 3570k supports only RAM with power consumption max 1.5V. I have Zeppelin DDR3 4GB kit (2x2GB) 1600Mhz, but when I clear the CMOS and boot, the MB says that I have only 1333Mhz. That means the RAMS has more then 1.5V?
What do u think? The problem is RAM, which are not supported by CPU?
