Msi z77a-g45 and msi control center error please replace ME version??

I am getting a error for some reason when i open MSI control center that tells me to Please Replace the ME version, i'm not sure why i'm getting this error out of the blue, is very strange, only thing i did was uninstall intel HD 4000 driver and reinstall it as i was getting a crash, i was using it as a extra monitor. but i don't think that had anything to do with this. I have not used control, center in a while thought i would open it up and now i get this Please replace ME version, i have uninstalled intel management engine and re d-loaded it and reinstalled it from my msi driver page, nothing works please help.

in your signature you have listed BIOS 2.5

and ME version 8.1.50.1456 i think this is all current is it not?
basically yes, unless your ME version is somehow corrupted,
or when bios was flashed your ME wasn't updated
if issue persist reflash the bios to the one that i linked you,
its still newest than 2.12 and will include proper ME update,
so you will know that issue isn't there after reflashing

other things that you can try before flashing:
install reinstall ME drivers from MSI web for your board:
http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me81_win78_xp.zip
you said that you already done this..
you can also try with those ME drivers instead: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me10_mb.zip
and are you using control center 2.5.060
from msi web for your board?: http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z77AG45.html#down-utility&Win8.1 64

ALso if it's not does your usb flash tool work in WIN8.1 UEFI bios?
yes

sounds like some kind of OS mess or driver mess,
you can try to load some of older windows restore point
assume if you haven't flashed anything and worked fine before

(msi z77a-g45 motherboard) A disk read error occurring

For the msi z77a-g45 Motherboard
I'm getting the "a disk read error occurred press ctrl+alt+del to restart" error when booting in my new build.
I have recently switched out my 4gb stick of g.skill ripjaws ram for 4x2 gb sticks of 1333mhz ram. I have not done anything besides this and i just started getting this error. I tried each ram stick individually and they boot but i get the error. I tried the 2 and 4 dims and still get the error. I tried re-seating the sata and data cables to my optical drive and hd.
The only thing i can think of is that i was installing a windows update just before i left to go change the ram so if that could be an issue please let me know.
Thanks.

MSI Z77A-G45 and Samsung 840 Series weirdness

Ok so here's the thing
about a week ago i decided that it was time to build a new computer with a Z77A-G45 motherboard
put it together, installed windows 7 64-bit and everything was working just fine - for about 5 days -
but then one morning when i turned on my computer it decided not to boot and just sat there with fans running with an A2 code at the bottom left of the screen
i tried taking out the ram leaving just 1 in and moving it to different slots and trying a different ram block boots thinking it might be faulty ram,
when that didn't work i tried removing the graphics card and boot with just the onboard VGA, reset the CMOS jumper, and even replaced that battery on the motherboard thinking the shop might have shipped an almost dead one, took everything apart and booted it outside the case on a glass surface to make sure it wasn't some sort of short
but the only time it actually wanted to get past the A2 code was when i booted with only 1 of my hard drives, so i started changing my drives around using various combinations of SATA cables and ports (luckily had an extra 5 SATA cables lying around)
eventually i narrowed it down to it wanting to boot with 2 of my 3 drives but the 3rd one (a Samsung 840 series 500 GB SSD, that has no system files or anything fancy other then music, movies and a few games at the moment) getting it stuck on the A2 code
so i set it up as an external USB drive with a SATA/USB converter i had sitting around but then it would get stuck on B4 instead if i booted with the drive connected
however everything would work just fine if i connected the drive after the system had booted up (or even just unplugging and replugging it when it got stuck on the B4)
once back in windows with the drive connected i ran all the diagnostics i could think of but nothing showed anything wrong with it
(and the only thing i had done with the drive before it stopped wanting to boot was to defrag it)
eventually i decided to copy all the files from the drive to a different drive and reformat it as sort of a hail-mary
and to my surprise that actually made it boot up just fine
so i moved it back inside the case as a normal drive just to make sure it would still work (which it did) and then moved all the files back to see if any of them were the culprit - that turned out not to be the case however
it booted up without complaint with all the original files on it
so now my question is why?
what the heck is going on?
did defragging cause some sort of data fault that caused the bios to not be able to read the drive properly or did i just buy a haunted computer?
like i said everything is back in the state it was the day before it didn't want to boot and bios and been defaulted so it's not really an issue at the moment but I'd still like to know what's going on so i can hopefully avoid it in the future
any answers or comments will be appreciated
for your reference a full parts list:
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G45
Bios Version: 2.10
Graphics card: Club3D GeForce GTX 550ti 2GB
PSU: Corsair TX 950W - 100-240V ~ 12A 50/60Hz
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K / 3.5 GHz Processor (Stock boxed fan)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance - 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) - DIMM 240-pin - DDR3 - 1600 MHz ( PC3-12800 )

Hitachi HDS722020ALA330 2TB HDD (Media/Backup)
Samsung 840 Series 500GB SSD (Media/Backup)
OS: Windows 7 64bit Ultimate

This is strange
I have Z77A-G43, and have exactly the same problem with one 1GB sata drive, that works just fine in every other PC.
In my case PC run into restart loop, but with same code A2 as yours.
Strangest part was PC was restarting even if I put HDD into PCI Sata/Raid card !?
So I am guessing here its not a hardware problem, but a software (BIOS) problem.
Now whole pc with Z77A-G43 is at Service because of faulty DVI output (not working).
Will try reformating drive, but need first to buy >1gb hdd to backup that one
Drive is currently working just fine in this 10y old MSI PC =.=
It seams they have stopped making things as they used to, this old mb is one durrable dog.
which was the main reason I went to same company when in question was mb...

Secure boot not working with MSI Z77a-G45 And system reserve not showing

Ok so i re did my windows after i did a zero fill on my hard drive as it was showing a corrupted sector on my disk that seemed to fix it for now, until it comes back if it does crossing my fingers it gone for good. But now i can't seem to get Secure boot to work i mean i did not have it before as i just slapped the motherboard in with a existing windows, that was to be expected but this is a clean install of windows 8.1 and i even have secure boot on but its not working and reports as off in windows. Is it because i have my bios set to legacy+UEFI??? would that make secure boot not work??. i even went as far as turning it off and back on again the secure boot setting nothing made a difference. I mean its not a big deal bit would be nice to know why its not working, also another wired thing and i will post pictures of it, as i cant see my system reserved partition in disk management but diskpart says it there, i will post those pictures any ideas??.

fixed it is my legacy+uefi another forum got back to me.

Msi z77a-g45 - BIOS not saving loop

Hi there, I picked up a msi z77a-g45 and an i5 3750k, 4x4GB Kingston RAM, etc etc.
I'm an experienced system builder, but this is my first build in i5 land, or actually on an MSI board. The issue I've got is when I first booted, it shows the "CPU or memory changed !!" and to press F1 for setup or F2 to load defaults and continue. Cool, expected on first boot. I enter setup, get the BIOS how I want it, save and reboot, it immediately shuts my box off and 2 seconds later, back on. All good so far.
But it again prompts the "CPU or memory changed !!" warning. Err...it showed my CPU properly in the BIOS, same with memory.
I've now gone through it quite a few times, and it always re-prompts me to go into the BIOS again or F2 to use defaults.
Doing the F2 deal will get me into Windows, but upon reboot I get the error again and have to F2 again just to boot.
I've tried using Click BIOS to make changes, it however doesn't show any memory in here (updated to latest Click BIOS version), but does show my CPU fine. Shows 0GB.
I've also updated my BIOS to release 25 this morning, no change.
Anyone else have this happen at all? I suppose my next steps will be to drop to a single stick of memory, see if that goes, or do a full 'remove battery' cmos clear. I've tried pushing the clear button on back of mobo but didn't seem to do anything.
Would really appreciate any ideas, thanks all!

MSI Z77A-G45 - Motherboard burns trough on the USB connections

Hey,
I recently bought the MSI Z77A-G45 and installed everything, works perfect, for about 3 weeks, then my USB's stoped working. i send it in for repair, they send me a new one with the note the old one was burned.
Installed the new one, works perfect, then a week or 2 after, same problem comes back and I actually smelled the burning this time.
Has anyone else had this problem with this card?
Greetings, Sam

>>Posting Guide<< please list you components?
that is not normal and never heard about the USB 3.0 burning with leads me to first think BAD PSU what is it?

MSI Z77A-G45 can't install window 7 by raid 0

I have a rig which:
CPU: Core i7 3770k
HDD: Two Western Digital 1 TB 7200
Main: MSI Z77A-G45
Power supply: 700W
Ram: 32GB DDR3 1333 MHz
*** VGA card: MSI Geforce nVidia GTX 660 Ti 3GBDDR5 TF
After configuring BIOS to setup RAID 0, I was trying to install Window 7 on my 1.8TB ( which was summed of two HDD )
But I got a problem about couldn't install the O.S on.
***And about the VGA, whenever I plug it in my mobo, my monitor shows black screen as it doesn't recognize the VGA card. What happen if I install window then add the VGA card later? Will it affect on my system later?
And what should I do to install RAID 0 with my stuff? I appreciate all supports.
Thank for read and answer my topic!

The 660ti will require a bios update to use most likely.
Is the system stable enough to flash? The forum flash tool included memtest, run this an so long as no errors or crashes, go ahead a flash to the most recent bios.

Make sure in you next post to include more detail on the raid set up error. What error? When did it fail?

Urgent need of assistance, MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt Unknown problems

Recently I have built my first computer, a desktop with the MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt motherboard, an Intel core I5 CPU and a NVIDIA Ge-Force GTX 650 TI Video Card, and a 850W PSU (way more than what is needed). The computer worked perfectly fine for about a week, I did not initially order a Disc Drive because I figured I could install windows with a flash drive (which apparently does not work) so I installed ubuntu for a while (irrelevant to the problem) I ordered the Disc Drive and when it came in I plugged it in and the computer would not turn on, so I spent a while trying to figure out why it did not turn on when the day before it worked fine, eventually after basically disconnecting almost everything and putting it back together it worked. But it had no signal to the monitor. I have no means of telling if it is a UEFI/BIOS problem, a video card problem, or a CPU problem. All 4 LED's for the CPU phase are constantly on, when before when the computer worked fine it would only have the first phase LED blink, so I believe it might possibly be a CPU problem, though the video card is what controls the output for monitors so it equally could be the problem. For the motherboard I tried just about everything to reset it, everything, except flashing the BIOS (which I don't want to try unless it is the only solution left) I tried to clear the CMOS, took the BIOS battery out and put it back in again. Please help!

I do not yet have access to another desktop in which to put my graphics card. I just tried reseating everything and still no signal to the monitor. The VGA port on my motherboard does not work, it never has for some reason, I did not get intel integrated graphics with my CPU, I am not sure if that is why the VGA does not work.

MSI Z77A-G45 SLI

Hi, guys. Can somebody say to me. Does SLI realy works on my mainbord MSI Z77A-G45? On the my mainboard I saw "SLI ready", on the official site MSI I saw SLI ready too. But in the Basic Specifications on the site MSI I don't see "SLI". Please help me to find truth!

Even the product site lists SLI also in Basic Specifications (http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G45.html#/?div=Basic) as it says "SLI - Y" and Y means Yes.
Overview also lists SLI: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G45.html#/?div=Overview
So yes, Z77A-G45 supports SLI in a X8/X8 configuration using the Gen3 slots.

Intel Core i5-3570K + MSI Z77A-G45 turbo OC @ 4.5GHZ Problem

Hi Guys,
Maybe you can help me out. I'm currently running turbo OC @ 4.4ghz stable. When I set the Turbo ratio to 45, i always fail the prime95 test or get bsod. Below is my hardware and bios settings:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K
COOLER: Thermalright Venomous-X
MOBO: MSI Z77A-G45
RAM: G.Skill Sniper F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR (4GBx2) CL 9-9-9-24-2N 1.5V XMP
I followed most of the settings from xmad/Froggy Gremlin on this post - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164847.0. Any other settings I can tweak? Or do I need to go manual and set the vcore voltage to 1.3+?

MSI Z77A-G45 Motherboard Overclocking/BIOS help!

Hello everybody
I've been having quite a bit of trouble with my MB/BIOS being unable to push the OC beyond 38/3.8GHZ and the RAM won't go further than 1600MHZ.. Now i was able to do this before (Had a stable 4.4GHZ with 2133MHZ RAM speed.. i'm not quite sure what's stopped me from being able to OC more than these stated values, however in ClickBIOS i can OC higher than i can in the BIOS menu on startup itself but the settings don't apply correctly
I have a I5-3570k CPU, MSI Z77A-G45 MB, Crucial Ballistix Elite 2x4GB 1600MHZ, MSI 560ti GTX

MSI Z77A - G45 - CPU multiplier problem

Hi,
I recently bought this PC:
Intel Core i5 3570 k
MSI Z77A - G45 - with BIOS V 2.5
Seasonic S12II-620 620W
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile White 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600
Amd HD 7850
My problem is following:
If I change CPU Ratio (multiplier), in standart mode to 40x and leave CPU core voltage auto, it cause instability, even if use Cpu core voltage 1.25 V for ratio 40x.
But that's not all problem. I could understand, why I cant OC my CPU, but this instability is even if I change multiplier to 30x from default 34x and this makes me uncertain.
Now I will describe you that instability...
OK so, when I change ratio to 40x or 30x it doesn't matter, it runs to windows successfully but after using windows something about 3-6 hours pc turns off.
I also discovered second problem by coincidence. If I hit F11 (Boot menu) , when I am starting pc and I have set ratio 40x or 30x, I can choose what I want to boot only for 10 secs and after that PC restarts by itself....
But if I set default 34x ratio I can choose what I want to boot forever and pc doesnt restart.
I know that boot menu is not some test of stability but it is very strange... Why If I change multiplier, it doesnt matter, if it is higher or lower then default settings it just cause instability ? :-/
Thanks for help.

Quote from: xmad on 19-August-12, 07:02:15
I was just saying that the beta caused a vga problem, latest release the f11 problem so try the release prior to that, but if you got it working don't touch it! lol
Are you still using the beta bios?
No clue, we are just users like you are, just keep checking the website. You should report the troubles you had with 2.4 to msi too.>>How to contact MSI.<<
Yeah iťs working now. As I said, I wanted flash older Bios 2.4, so for sure I click on restore defualts in bios (for sure before flashing) in that 2.64 Bios version...
PC restarts and my graphic card started working =)...
So now I am running on that the latest Bios as you refered mi (2.64 beta).
I am running some test of stability on @ 4 GHz with 1.070 V (IBT,Prime,memmaxx,linx,cinebench,occt,super pi, 3d mark) temps are 62 C max...
So I guess it's ok now =)
At the end I have one question :
My Cpu is now running on 40 x ratio all the time, there is no some underoverlocking ratio (16x etc.) when it's in idle. I was thinking the Ivy Bridge overclocking is overclocking of turbo only...
I know It's detail, because I have good temps even in idle with 40x ration (33-39 C) but i want to be assured if it is ok.
EDIT:
And btw I didnť have 2.4 bios flash on, I wanted put them on... But before flashing my 2.64 beta started working right with HD 7850 as is wrote upper.
I had Bios 2.5 before 2.64

MSI Z77A-G45 RAID Issue

Greetings...
Just got a new MSI MoBo and wanted to RAID1 my two WD Caviar Black HDDs. However, everytime I enable RAID and reboot it goes to a black screen with two "Z"s randomly placed in the middle. Once I get to the "black screen", it will only boot to that screen afterwards and needs a CMOS reset to fix. I have tried everything I can think of, but always get the same results. I have successfully installed Windows 7 on one of the drives with AHCI mode enabled, and have also had IDE mode work fine... but as soon as I enable RAID - black screen.
Everything else on the board seems to be fine. Anyone have any ideas?
SYSTEM:
MSI Z77A-G45 mobo
Intel i5-3570 CPU
Coolermaster Hyper 212+ EVO
8GB Crucial DDR3-1600
EVGA 560Ti 448 Core Classified (Primary)
XFX 260GTX XXX Ed. (Physx)
2 x WD Caviar Black Dual-Proc HDDs
LG DVD Super-Multi Burner
Silverstone Decathalon 850W PSU
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

FIXED - Ended up reflashing the BIOS, which restored the RAID utility. BTW, my G15 keyboard would not register the CTRL-I to get into the utility... I had to use a PS/2 keyboard, which required a CMOS reset in order to recognize. Just posting this in case anyone else runs into this.

MSI Z77A-G45 & Sapphire Radeon HD 7850?

Hi all, I have purchased the MSI Z77A-G45 Mainboard along with a Sapphire Radeon HD 7850. I just finished my build yesterday and got windows 7 professional installed without a hitch. This was using an HDMI cable to connect my monitor directly to the mainboard. For some reason, my computer cannot detect my video card (7850). Under device manager, it shows that the display adapter is a standard VGA. I know the video card is working because I just tested it on a friend's computer and it ran perfectly with drivers installed. I looked on MSI's website for the compatibility table and saw that the 7850 was missing from the list for the G45. Does this board support the sapphire 7850? Or do I have to buy a new board? I really like this board and got it at an awesome price so I would hate to have to return it but changing the board would be a cheaper option than changing the video card (which was purchased on line). Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

MSI z77a-G45 Gaming 3770k overclocking?

I just recently purchased the z77a-G45 Gaming mobo and a i7 3770k, most of my googling would leave me to believe that the 3770k can easily obtain 4.6Ghz with fairly low voltages like 1.16-1.20 vcore; here comes the question...in order for me to obtain some level of stability @ 4.6Ghz I must crank my vcore to 1.4150 with 100% cpu offset resulting in a 1.39 vcore in windows with a 1.38 vcore under load. I have all power saving technologies disabled, pll overvoltage enabled, cpu vdroop offset set to 100%; my question is am I missing something with MSI boards as this is the first one I've ever owned or did I just get a very power hungry 3770k?
General system specs
MSI z77a-G45 Gaming MOBO
i7 3770k CPU
16Gb of Gskill Trident X 2400mhz memory
Corsair HX850 Gold PSU
MSI GTX 670 PE OC
Cooled by custom water loop

Alrighty, appreciate the info; gonna back down to 4.4Ghz as I can maintain stability with 1.275 vcore in bios = 1.26 in windows = 1.24 under load resulting in hottest core never exceeding 70...was really hoping for 4.7-5.0Ghz overclock when most everyone who reviewed this chip in the early days was claiming such great overclocks with such low voltage. But I'll chalk that up to either misinformation or non stability checked overclocks, I guess I'm old school; cause if it can't hold up to a minimum 24hr pass of Prime 95 small fft's it isn't stable in my book. Might consider delidding it in a year or so once the new wears off, I had my i7 920 for about that long before I lapped it into a mirror shine lol. So based on my new information 3770k's on average overclock between 4.4-4.6Ghz and can require up to 1.4 vcore and higher past 4.6Ghz which is where you start to really become thermally limited on liquid as the Ivy Bridge's 22nm technology puts the cores to closely together in combination with intel's cheap ass thermal compound solution. Maximum recommended voltage for 24/7 shouldn't exceed 1.4 vcore without some kick ass cooling or a combination of delidded processor and kick ass cooling cause ideally you want your cores mid 70's and below...that about sum it all up?
