MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming ethernet problem

Hi!
I bought Z77A-GD 65 Gaming motherboard few days ago.
Everything is working except the network adapter.
I cant install the drivers for it because it says that the device is not found.
I checked the windows device manager and its not showing it up either, so is it broken or what?

do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed and try again
else put mainboard out of PC case over wooden table and retry.
what's your current bios version installed?

  • Error 55 Msi Z77A-GD65 Gaming

    Hi guys,
    I'm new in this forum..
    I bought a new mainboard this is: MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming.
    My components are:
    Intel i5 3570K
    Asus Geforce 660 2GB
    Ram Kingston Hyperx 2x4GB 1866Hz
    The problem is, when i started for the first time the PC i read in the display "Error 55", I tried with the RAM in dual channel (1:2)(1:3)(2:4)(3:4) and in single channel with only 1 ram.
    What I can do now?Have you already reported this problem? I can't even get into the bios, in practice, I was not able to turn it on the PC.
    For more info you can contact me. Thanks and let me know as soon as possible pls.

    Do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed, if no change, try with another and different type of RAM.
    consult with memory support test list from msi web page

  • Connection drops - MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming

    Hello there.
    I've tried to search for a similar issue on the forums, and the interwebs in general, without any luck.
    So recently I upgraded almost all the parts in my old computer, including the motherboard which is now a MSI z77A-GD65 gaming motherboard.
    So, after my new setup, I'm having troubles with internet connection losses during gameplay.
    The connection losses only lasts for around 5-10 seconds before I'm connected to the internet again, and it happens from every half an hour, to not at all, but it is an annoyance when playing games, as you can imagine.
    I've been in contact with my internet provider every couple of days for the past week to see if it was a problem at their end. Although I got a new router, there doesn't seem to be a problem with the connection in general. They couldn't see anything on their end at least. And if I plug my laptop to the router via cable, I don't get the dropouts either.
    So.. I'm faaairly certain it has something to do with the new hardware, more specifically, the motherboard. But I am not sure.
    What I have done, is to check the connection, obviously.
    I have also updated all drivers, using the LiveUpdate 5 tool that came with the motherboard (which was pretty intense since it updated the BIOS as well, and after that I couldn't boot until I reset the pins).
    Anyways, drivers updated, couldn't find more recent ones.
    I've checked if there has been a problem with the servers at the game company of the game I am playing, not the issue either.
    Also, the yellow "warning triangle" at the connection icon in the taskbar is also showing for the brief moment of 5-10 seconds (not enough to do a troubleshoot)
    I didn't have any problems with connection drops with my old computer, even at 8-9 hour gaming sessions.
    Note that there doesn't seem to be any pattern in when the connection drops, as it can be from every half hour, to not at all during an evening of gaming. And there is no connection between what I am currently doing in the games I play, when the connection drops.
    I hope you can help me out, because I have no clue at this point.
    /thanks

  • Z77A-GD65 occasional ethernet problem (code 10)

    Hey folks,
    got a strange problem here. My ethernet sometimes refuses to work. Usualy after the PC has been turned of for a  few minutes.
    It acts like this.
    Problem:
    1. Turn PC on after a minute or so of not beeing powered
    2.a. In Windows, no ethernet (code 10, cant start device)
    2.b. If I skip Windows and go directly to the Bios, the NIC interface says its "disconnected"
    3. soft reboot, reset or even powering it down and start aggain fixes the problem.
    Conclusions / Checks done so far:
    * checked for extra raisers severeal times now, got none and the behaviour doesnt seem to be a shortage in any way either.
    * its not a windows problem either because the bios itself allready says the NIC is "disconnected" which it isnt.
    * doesnt make a difference if OCed (using OC Genie) or not.
    * RMAed my first board and got a new one, same problem.
    * BIOS: activated WakeOnLAN to force NIC staying active, didnt help
    * BIOS: disabed auto negotiation and set fixed  etehrnet speed value, didnt help
    * BIOS: reflashed BIOS 10.7 (7751vA7.zip, release 2012-10-25), didnt help
    I read here somewhere that some people had troubles with Nvidia cards leading to the same behaviour which migth be the same case for me.
    yet i havent found a fix for this problem yet.
    Current Hardware:
    - Intel Core i5-3570K
    - MSI Z77A-GD65 (S/N: 601-7751-020B1209048802)
    - G.Skill DIMM 16 GB DDR3-2133 Quad-Kit
    - Asus ENGTX560 Ti DCII TOP/2DI/1GD5
    - XFX 650W XXX Edition ATX  (powersupply)
    help me please, this is awefully annoying especialy for such an expensive board.

    I had some werid issues like this intermittantly with a specific nic driver.

  • MSI Z77A-GD65 loop boot problem

    Hello, 20 days ago I bought this mobo, with Intel Core I-7-2600K (Sandy Bridge), 16 Gb of RAM Corsair Vengeance (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9).
    It worked fine for 20 days, then today, when   I turned on the pc It didn't boot, and it goes in a loop sequence, the cpu fan starts for 3 seconds and then stops, and then continue like this forever until I press the button for sveral second tu turn everything off.
    I tryed:
    3 different psu's
    different type of ram in every slot (single and/or together)
    Unlinked all from the mobo and put it out of the case with only psu attached.
    CMOS cleared
    Always same problem.
    Now I RMA it, soon I'll receive a new one but I saw on the web that most users of this mobo had the boot loop problem, so I was hoping if it was mine that was faulty or is there a known Problem?
    I work with this pc and I don't want to receive another one with the same problem.....
    Many thanks to all.
    Many thanks.

    Funny thing. That very same thing happened to me on a Gigabyte P67 board a while ago. I ended up having to return the board, luckily I had purchased it at a Microcenter so that was easy to do and I went with the MSI I have now.
    At the time I was not able to resolve it, but the symptoms were exactly the same. Doesn't mean you have the same problem or cause, but I had exactly that.
    I would advise a number of things that all revolve around eliminating potential trouble spots entirely:
    - If you have 4 sticks of 4GB RAM, remove two of them (refer to your manual to know in which order to remove them; leave just one bank (2 sticks) populated.
    If that doesn't help, swap the remaining 8GB with the 8GB you removed. That would diagnose a crude memory failure in one of the sticks.
    - Remove any hardware you can, including any extra sound/network card and your video card, and see if the power-on pattern changes.
    - Disconnect all external devices from USB, eSATA, even disconnect your regular SATA drives just to see if the pattern changes at all.
    - If you observe changes doing any of those things, you can hone in on the offending component.
    - If you are using an aftermarket heatsink that uses screws, make sure the heatsink is not wobbling because it came lose a little.
    This is assuming you built it yourself and are familiar with handling the components and what precautions to take!

  • Z77A-GD65 Gaming

    So I just updated my computer from an Asus P8P67-Pro to the MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming motherboard, I also updated my CPU to an i5-3750K. I am having some issues with games crashing, especially Metro Last Light and Far Cry 3.
    I checked the CPU and GPU temps and the CPU is maxing out at 51C and the GPU 60C, so I figured it wasn't heat related. Then I ran Memtest86 and discovered that I had some bad RAM. I got some more RAM and installed it and ran Memtest86 again for hour and a half and found that there were no errors.
    I also ran Prime95 for two hours and had had no failures. I also monitored the PSU voltages and they appear stable. I have a Corsair HX750 that is not that old and so far it has been rock solid.
    So I tried to start Metro again, and sure enough about 5 minutes into the game it crashes. Completely freezing the computer, I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL, sign out and then log back in to get to a usable desktop again.
    I don't think the GPU is bad because I can run 3DMark with no issues, also MSI Kombustor causes no issues.
    I have also ran Crystal Mark on all of my hard drives and they are producing expected results.
    My 3750K has turbo boost OC'd to 42 on each core, but as I have said running Prime95 or any other benchmark causes no crashes.
    Also I will add that these games are all within Steam, so possibly it could be the Steam client itself causing the issue.
    I am running the lastest Nvidia driver 320.88, but rolled back to 314 and had the same issue.
    After replacing the RAM and still having the issue, I have decided just to start with a clean slate and am re-installing Windows 8 Pro and all of the Steam games. But other than that I am at a complete loss, does anyone have any other suggestions?
    One last thing, the digital code read out always shows A0 when in Windows, shouldn't it show the CPU temp?
    My Specs are:
    i5-3750K turbo OC to 42
    MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming
    16Gb Corsair 1600 RAM
    MSI GTX670 PE OC
    Samsung 830 256Gb Boot
    WD Black 2TB Game drive
    WD Black 700Gb Storage drive
    Corsair HX750 PSU
    Cooler Master  212 Evo

    After adding the new RAM everything seemed to be working well, however Metro Last Light still crashes at the same spot. Completely freezes the computer and I have to CTRL+ALT+DEL sign out and then sign back in. Then if I try to launch the game again it immediately crashes, I have to reboot the computer before the game will run and then again it crashes at the same point. I am playing Metro on Steam, please note that this happened before and after I replaced the RAM I completely reinstalled Windows 8 and again the game is crashing at the same point. I did completely reinstall the game when I reinstalled Windows. I figured I would then try to play Crysis 3 on Origin, and am able to play it for about an hour and then it crashes with dxgi_error_device_removed and if I try to relaunch the game it just crashes immediately. I again have to reboot the computer before I can play the game again. The GPU temps never get over 61C, and I have the MSI GTX670 PE OC card. Could the card be defective, or possibly even the motherboard?
    I ran Furmark for 15 minutes and had no issues, but I did notice that if I try to start Furmark after a game crash it just crashes as well until I reboot the computer. I was having the issue with the Nvidia 320.18 drivers so I updated to the 320.49 and still the same issue. I am just at a loss here as what to do next.

  • 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.

  • SOLUTION for my problems with MSI Z77A-GD65 + MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC

    Lately I had problems with my GTX 670 video card (MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC) under Windows 7 Pro x64.
    I got a lot of "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" errors.
    I had these errors once or twice a day, so I didn't really  bother looking for an answer, also I couldn't reproduce the error.
    Most games just worked fine, but not always... so I tried if I could reproduce the error.
    I tried to stress test with MSI Kombustor and voila no windows error... noo... but the core voltage went to 0 mV within a minute and everything (screen / windows / kombustor) stuttered and I had to restart the system.
    The strange thing was that the voltage went to 0 mV, but the GPU load went from 96% - 60% and back to 96%... why and how is this possible??
    Now I could reproduce my problem... yes!
    First I thought it was a driver problem, because I updated it to the newest version (310.70), so I tried to re-install an older driver and also the original MSI driver... no luck.
    Maybe it could be a mainboard driver or some settings in windows, so I installed Windows 8... no luck.
    Re-installed Windows 7 Pro x64 (basically because Windows 8 s*cks)... no luck.
    I tried to put my video card in another system and there was no problem... so I thought my video card is not broken...
    Maybe it's my my power supply... new power supply... no luck again... grrrr...
    My solution was downgrading / flashing my mainboard (MSI Z77A-GD65) bios back to 1.5 instead of 1.7, because yes... live update had updated my bios... that was the problem.
    I wanted to post this, because I couldn't really find the answer for my problem and maybe I can help a few people with the same configuration and problems.
    Live well and... well you get the idea

    Don't use TF II/TF III parts as they won't fit. Arctic Accelero Twin Turbo II or Accelero Mono PLUS are good value for money aftermarket solutions.
    Thank you for the information and advice.  As I was looking into those two, I noticed that Accelero's website claimed the Accelero Xtreme III would also fit, and NewEgg had it on sale, so that is what I wound up purchasing.  It works quite well and is MUCH quieter than the Twin Frozr IV, even before the grinding noise started.
    For anyone else considering this, please be aware that the Xtreme III is monstrously huge (it adds several inches to the length of the MSI N670 PE).  Make sure you have plenty of room in your case for it.

  • Re: Msi z77a-gd65 usb 3.0 Problem

    I also have a problem with the msi usb 3 driver or chipset; of course the driver & chipset are Intel's; however my mb is a z77a-gd65.
    My problem with win7 is that autoplay kept interrupting copying files onto the usb3 drive sot that the drive is not accessible to the copy software; I updated the driver from Intel's site which was 1.05 instead of the 1.04 at msi & still the same problem.  The problem could be win7 tho.
    I still had my SIIg usb3 board for pcie & so finally reinstalled the siig card; the copying of files is no longer interrupted with autoplay that results lots of errors of "drive not accessible".  The SIIg uses the nec (renesas) drivers.  It may be that Intel need to fix their usb3 drivers to work.  I still feel that part of the problem is m$ as win7 ignores the autoplay settings which was probably done when I was stupid enough to install the win8 release preview.

    Quote from: xmad on 30-August-12, 08:03:48
    Split this off for you, it sounds like the usb3 keeps connecting/ disconnecting, we need some more info on your components.
    >>Posting Guide<<
    I would start by eliminating the software by reinstalling the os and fresh drivers.
    Edit:
    Is this a Seagate drive by chance?
    Not a Seagate, it is a 2 gig Hitachi Turo.  The drive works well when I listen to my CDs on the drive; the problem is that I use it as "backup" for the 3 gig nas drive (wd mybooklive).  The nas is 3 gig only because the 2 gig was sent back to wd & was sent the 3 gig on the method where I was sent the replacement before I send the non-functioning drive.
    My problem is somewhat resolved with my SIIg usb3 card; BUT Intel need to be informed about their problem but Intel may not do anything just like microsoft.  I did the uninstall of the msi usb3 driver, was successful using usb2 to copy the files; installed the "latest" Intel usb3 driver, ver 1.05 & still had problem.  Then decided to try the SIIg usb3 card which worked.

  • 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:
    Quote
    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.
    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 bolied 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 that is almost 2 years old. That beeing said I can boot normally now, but the bios version is so old...
    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?

  • [SOLVED] motherboard MSI Z77A-GD65 error code B2

    hello,
    I recently installed an MSI Z77A-GD65.
    Here is my config:
    - MSI Z77A-GD65
    - I5 2500K + Noctua NH U12P-SE2
    - KINGSTON Hyper X 1600 Mhz DDR3 4 x 2 GB
    - 2 x SSD VERTEX 3 and 4
    - POV GTX 660 Ultra Charged 2 go
    - WD Caviar 500 GB
    - Supply CORSAIR GAMING GS 600
    - Case CM HAF932 advanced
    I searched all the forums I have not found anything on my problem is the following.
    at the first start (after installing the hardware) I got a black screen with the little bar at the top left flashing in the bottom right and "B2" then a black screen with the same small bar but not flashing. On my motherboard I have a set of code that runs and stops at B2. No BIOS.J 'tried everything:
    - Move the graphics card
    - Exchange up memories, play with the colors of slots, try with only 2 bar, try with 3 instead of 4 memories
    - Disconnect the SSD and the HDD, change the connections at the plug SATA, try with HDD only
    - Clear CMOS
    - Start without devices connected (only with keyboard, mouse and screen)
    - Check all my connections and CPU + Noctua
    NOTHING .......................... I do not understand

    Reading A0, it is at the point of OS loading. A0 is not an error.

    I tried and I get an error A0 or A2 but nothing on the screen (my screen turns off after a while because no signal)
    Even when using the onboard graphics?

  • MSI Z87-GD65 MOBO PCIe problems

    Hi,
     We have problem with this configuration:

    2x Network Card PCI-E (2 Ethernet Gigabit ports, 10/100/1000 Mbit/s, chipset Pericom PI7C9X2G)
    2x M-Cab 7070023 - Network Card (PCI Express, 2 x RJ-45, 10/100/1000 Base-T)
    3x MikroTik RouterBOARD RB44Ge - Gigabit Ethernet Network Card (4 Gigabit Ethernet ports 10, 100 y 1000 Mbit/s)
    OC: NO
    Operating System: OpenBSD 5.7
      We were working with 2x Network Card PCI-E and 1x MikroTik RouterBOARD RB44Ge without problems but now update until 7 NICs and the PC doesn't boot. From 4th NIC doesn't boot, we've tried all position on the mobo and tried Graphics card too, but the reslt it's the same.
    Test with other PSU... The same. Unpluged 1 RAM stick, DVD and fan... The same result. We can't boot from 4th card (NIC, graphics...)
    Code debug is 96.
    Can you help us?
    TXS.

    You have 3 PCI-E x16 slots (x8-x4-x4) and 4 PCI-E x1 slots.
    On the other hand, your CPU is limited to 16 PCI-E lanes.
    Those 3 x RB44Ge routers are PCI-E x4, so you're going to use ALL the PCI-E x16 slots for them.
    With the remaining PCI-E lanes you need to be lucky ... 

  • My new MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming question

    Hello MSI forums ,
    I'm building a gaming system for my son. The MB i picked was the MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming and it just arrived from newegg. Just a quick question.
    The MB arrived w/ out shrink wrap and the MB itself seems to be slightly warped or curved. Is this normal? I purchased a MSI Z77A-GD65 a few months ago for myself and I can't remember if it had shrink-wrap on it or not but I'm sure I didn't see any warping on the GD65.
    Anyway, over the last two months I've build two complete systems all from newegg and i haven't had one issue, so good luck for me so far.
    thanks!

    Not even a security flap or tab seal on any of mine, so no shrink wrap I can recall. Slight curve should pose no problem once it is tightened down in the case.
