MSI Z87-G45 flashed bios 19 now Intel Management Engine doesnt work

I used the forum tool to flash the latest bios 1,19 for my Z87-g45 and after booting back into windows and reinstalling intel ME I have a yellow exclamation mark over the Intel ME Interface in device manager.
It says the device cant start and STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE
I tried installing the MS hotfix that comes with the latest Intel ME software on the MSI website but it doesnt install and says it isn't suitable for my computer when I run it.  I tried the 64bit first then the 32bit.

I fixed this by installing the older 1.18 using the built in mflash instead of the forum tool.
I don't know if it was the 1.19 version or the forum tool that stopped intel management engine working but selecting bios and intel me flash from the built in mflash worked.
I did worry when my computer shut down and restarted at 49% complete but upon starting again it showed a blank screen with flashing percentage for intel me in the middle starting around 50%.

    Hi, MSI Z87-G45 Gaming and Sapphire 290X, gpu fan is spinning, but black screen, only int. graphic  is working. Downloaded all updates, bios 1.7 for mobo.... what else.....Any ideas?

    Its not verified.
    I got Sapphire to work, seems that drivers problem or something is maybe broken(mobo or gpu).
    Thanks for link!
    Just in the middle of the action, I got this picture.
     What can cause that?

  • MSI Z87-G45 Updated bios to 1.3 with M-Flash without ME

    So is this a problem ? should ME be updated as well ?
    I went from the first bios to this one but only saw later on that is was suppose to be flashed with ME.
    So should i re flash the bios ? if anyone can tell me that would be much appreciated.

    Thanks. Nevertheless,  yesterday I was upgrading the bios to version 1.4 and bricked the board. BSOD during erasing flash and that's it. PC never boot again. Now sending to RMA. So be careful with flashing! This board does not have dual bios unfortunately :(
    I had to RMA a brand new board the first month I had it because out of the box I could not update the board. When I called MSI support they a) had zero RMA stock available and b) were going to try to give me refurb until I threw a fit. I had purchased some upgrades and it was about two weeks before the build so I was unable to return to the seller for an exchange and directed to MSI.
    After a couple weeks MSI ended up sending me a new retail board that had been "personally QC'd" by the tech I had dealt with on the phone. I was assured the board could now by flashed and sure enough this was the case. The upper heatsinks were physically "damaged" however, not functionally but aesthetically. They must have touched plastic to them while they were nice and warm because there's a gob of fused plastic/disfigured heatsink now.
    I also now hang trying to update. So, I'm pretty much done with board, done with MSI.

  • MSI Z87-G45 doesn't boot, doesn't beep

    Hi guys,
    I just received my new MSI Z87-G45 and put it in my pc with my Intel Core i5-4670K
    When I first tried to boot, nothing happened, except the fans and the hard disk. It doesn't beep and I see no screen. I switched the RAM, removed the graphics card, removed the hd, nothing worked.
    Just the fans are going on, but nothing else happens.
    I had a look at the cpu socket and wasn't sure if it is how it is supposed to look like (my first intel board) so I attached a picture. The pins look kind of weird, not sure about them:
    Any ideas what I could try?

    Thanks for your replies.
    I did a CMOS several times (everytime after removing a component) - didn't change anything.
    I just wasn't sure if it's generally normal, that the pins are not straight upwards like on amd cpus. But I already saw on some other pictures that that seems to be normal. The pins are all equally and none of them is at another height level. So that doesn't seem to ba a problem.
    Board: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
    Bios: Stock (not sure which one that is)
    VGA:   HIS AMD Radeon R9 280X IceQ X² Turbo Boost Clock  3GB GDDR5
    PSU:   Enermax Revolution X't ERX530AWT
    CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K Box, LGA1150
    MEM: Corsair XMS3 CMX8GX3M2A1333C9 (also checked with Kingston KVR1333D3N9/2G
    HDD: none
    OC: -
    OS: none (old was win7, but I don't even get to the BIOS)
    I also noticed that the case fan doesn't seem to get power. It doesn't move.
    I have a speaker installed to the motherboard. My old board always beeped.
    Thanks again for your help!

  • Intel Management Engine Driver

    Is there a connection between ME in the BIOS and the Intel Management Engine Driver that can be downloaded from the motherboard product page?
    What I mean is if I install the downloadable driver from the motherboard page, does this over write something that the ME applied from a BIOS update does or vice versa if I updated my BIOS after first installing the driver from the motherboard page?
    Do they need to match as the downloadable driver from the motherboard page is a lower version number than the one contained in the latest beta BIOS for the Z77A-GD65?
    What does enabling the ME option in the BIOS do?

    I actually download my ME from Intel directly as they have a newer version than the MSI website. They don't have to match, and the one for inside windows should be updated when possible like other drivers.

  • MSI Z87-G45 BIOS Temps

    I am having an issue with the BIOS displaying 99 degrees Celsius in the BIOS menu. It ramps up rather quick loading into the BIOS from around 50 degrees to 99 which it stays at. Touching the heatsink itself it feels cool to the touch which leads me to believe its not displaying the temps right. Also in windows my idle temps are around 45-55 but under load they can go up to the high 90's.
    I am using a MSI Z87-G45 board with a 4670k Haswell which I know run a lot hotter and seems to cap at 100 degrees with just the stock cooler... well until my new cooler ships.
    If I were to guess I would say it seems the BIOS is putting some load on the CPU, which would be fine just seems odd. Any insight anyone had on this situation would be great as the little research I have done I have never seen anyone open up the BIOS to temps any higher then 55 degrees on YouTube.
    Thanks guys

    I just checked that literally after posting that thread. I was certain that it was seated well as I've been playing all types of games on it with no issues but thought I would reapply some paste... only to see that it didn't even make contact. Makes me remember why I'm not a huge fan of the stock Intel cooler hold downs. Now I'm bordering on embarrassed and amazed that the CPU didn't start frying or at least restarting.
    Thanks for the help none the less.

  • MSI Z87-G45 Latest beta bios problem?

    So i have updated to the latest beta bios but the core jumps to 5600mhz from 4500mhz.
    Everything is set like it's alway's set.(4500 core @ 1.285v 4200 uncore/ring @ 1.19v, memory on xmp profile and the inputvoltage is 1.880v)
    This only happens when using firefox from what i've seen, but i haven't done testing yet so it could happen with more programs.
    Firefox becomes laggy when this happens and doesn't want to load anything unless you wait 25 seconds and then it still not load's the site complete.
    IE 11 doesn't do this by the way.
    My setup:
    MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
    Intel I7 4770K
    G.Skill Ripjaws X 16gb
    Sapphire R9 290
    Cooler Master Silent Pro 1000W
    Edit: The clock's are just showing up that high in task manager, in XTU they stay @ 4.5.
    But i still don't know why firefox is acting up with this bios.

    Close this topic as i have found the problem.
    It was a usb 2.0 stick in usb 3.0 port that was saving the cache for firefox.
    But the stick was working very slowly in that port hence the slowdown.
    Sorry for the thread.

  • MSI Z87-G45 BIOS

    So today I decided to check how my MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Socket-1150 BIOS looked like so i pressed the enter BIOS option on the GO2BIOS utility app, my PC restarted and the screen stayed black for 10 minutes.... So I booted back to windows and disabled fast boot and tried to enter BIOS manually that didnt work either. So my problem is that my BIOS won't show at all. The PC is functional and there are no problems with it, can still boot into windows and go on about my day. But i would love to be able to enter BIOS.....

    Oh great you found the solution  Thanks for an update 

  • MSI Z87-G45 external test build - no flash screen with 2 G.Skill Ram sticks

    Hi guys this is my first build and I'm encountering this issue on my test build.
    I'm using MSI Z87-G45 MoBo, G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory, i5 4670k
    RAM is only working one at a time. Both sticks work. They do not work alone in DIMM 3 or DIMM 4.
    Any advice on what to do? could it be speeds/timing of the ram? this is my first build so any help is greatly appreciated!
    I see that G.Skill sticky post, but since this is a test build outside of the case I don't have a keyboard attached or really any knowledge of how to alter the BIOS.

    Quote from: mvam on 13-May-14, 07:02:12
    new ram - Corsair Vengeance... no luck. 
    any other ideas?
    time for a new mobo? it has to be the mobo right? cpu?
    One or the other. CPU can be ruled out if you know someone who can test it for you on another known working board. That leaves the mainboard as faulty. You could try a PSU power cord removed, battery removed for a short time, clear CMOS and try again with a RAM stick in DIMM2.

  • Default MSI Z87-G45 Lan/Usb Help needed.

    Hello,
    So yesterday i massively upgraded my pc with the following components:
    MSI Z87-G45
    Intel Core i5-4670K
    GeForce GTX 780 3GB (Classified)
    and kept my old Ram (Gskill ripjaw ddr3 3x4gb) ,Hd's PSU. and i am using windows 8.1
    The main problems i am having are as follows:
    1. I am unable to get the usb ports to recognize most things i plug in. This included a USB flash drive and a wireless network stick.
    2. I am unable to install any Lan items from the mobo factory disc. The option to install the LAN drivers are greyed out on the disc menu, and when i search for them they will not install. Now i've found them online and downloaded them to a Usb Drive, but i can't use that because the USB drive won't be recognized by windows.
    Any help on these issues would be so greatly appreciated, i am getting terribly frustrated and don't know what to do.
    I have checked the Bios and it appears to be current, i have also reset the Mobo battery at the request of MSI.

    have you done a new fresh OS installation after mainboard change?

  • MSI Z87 G45 GAMING erratic BSOD/freeze @ 2300, stable @1600. Can't solve.

    Hi All,
    I would welcome some advice. I am about 4 months into a new machine build:
    * MSI Z87 G45 GAMING motherboard
    * i7-4770K Haswell 3.5 GHz & aftermarket heatpipe cooler
    * 4 x 4Gb G.Skill SNIPER DDR3-2133 PC3-1700  (F3-17000CL11D-8GBSR)
    * GeForce GTX 650 Ti  w/ 2 Gb Video RAM
    * Samsung 840 Pro 256 Gb SSD
    * Thermaltake 700W Toughpower
    * Win 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
    The system seems to run fine at the default 1600 MHz RAM speed, however if I implement either of the X.M.P. profiles (which kick the memory speed up to the RAM's advertised  speed of 2133 MHz), the system will occasionally (every 8 to 48 hours) freeze or BSOD.  The BSOD stop codes are inconsistent in number (0x00, 0x41, 0x1E, 0xC4) and driver.  When the system freezes, there is no consistent behavior.  I am not doing any other overclocking besides using the X.M.P. profile in the memory. 
    RAM timing on the 2133 X.M.P. profile is: 11-11-11-30.
    I have updated the BIOS to 1.5, including the ME, and updated all drivers in the system.  All irrelevant hardware and drivers are disabled.  Also I have done the following:
    * MemTest+  5.01 for over 30 hours, all 4 sticks in.  No errors.
    * Intel BurnTest on 'Very High', 10 passes, no errors
    * Prime95 for over day with 90 C CPU temps constantly being hit.  No errors.
    * Unigine Valley Benchmark for 30 minutes; no issues
    I increased V_DRAM from 1.60V (from the XMP profile) to 1.65V, and I also added  +0.10V offset to increase the CPU I/O ANALOG , CPU I/O DIGITAL  and SYSTEM AGENT voltages.  Didn't seem to help.  All other CPU voltages are default from [auto].
    I rolled the memory speed back to the default 1600 MHz, and the system seems stable as a rock.
    I don't really need to have the memory run at 2133 MHz, but it irks me that the system is not stable with the rated components, and I'm befuddled why the stress tests seem to pass just fine, then the system will randomly hang with arguably a far less demanding load than the stress tests.
    Note that I have not yet:
    * reset the CMOS when changing to X.M.P.  Perhaps I should?
    * reseated the graphics card or CPU.  The latter will require R/R of the thermal grease, which I will do if needed, but it's a pain.  Since the system is stable at 1600 MHz, I assumed that all basic systems are working as they should.
    * Tried to work my way up in memory speed step by stem from 1600 to 2133 to see where things fall apart.
    * Tested the video memory
    I suspect main system memory, despite the clean bill of health from MemTest, and based on many of the comments to others with similar problems from the veterans on this board.   I don't want to push the CPU voltages too much above the default/auto values, for fear of damage and reduced lifetime.
    Also, the power supply is a nice unit from an older high-end gaming rig. It is rated at 700W.  The PS does probably have over 30,000 hours on it (24/7 use for 3-4 years), however.  Strange that it would work at 1600 MHz fine, and with only slightly more power load at 2133.  I suppose stranger things have happened. 
    I've read the suggestions to run only 2 sticks, rather than 4, but I can't justify dropping $140 on new memory (I don't really need the extra speed benefit, it's more curiosity and just not knowing at this point).
    Anyway, perhaps more seasoned souls than I can share their thoughts.  The system is perfectly usable at 1600, but I'd really like to know where the lockups are stemming from.  Troubleshooting is maddening because of the inconsistency in the long times before failure and lack of repeatability to reproduce the issue.
    Thanks in advance for your time.
    -Paul

    Thank you both for the prompt replies.  I'm learning a lot.
    Turns out I also found this from G.SKILL in going over reviews of the memory modules I have.  Another user had a similar configuration as mine and was having similar problems.  G.SKILL replied:
    Quote
    We are sorry to hear you were unable to get two kits working in the same system. It is not guaranteed two kits can operate at the rated specifications since they were not pre-matched, tested, and guaranteed at factory. With multi-channel motherboards, perfectly matching memory is necessary to achieve high frequency. This is why we must offer high capacity 32GB, 64GB kits, otherwise we can just sell one module at a time and have you purchase as many as you need. Unfortunately, memory does not work that way. If you purchase a 16GB kit rated at DDR3-2133, you should have absolutely no issues. For any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly for assistance.
    Thank you
    GSKILL SUPPORT
    Not knowing any better, I simply purchased two "kits" of 2x4 GB each and installed them.  Perhaps worse, if the modules were matched, I may well have mixed them up so the matched modules don't even sit in the same channels 1/3 or 2/4.  G.SKILL seems to have a pretty responsive board, so I'll ask them what they suggest.
    Also in the end, I really just want a stable machine. This is a basically an office/engineering machine.  My initial thinking was that if the system was unstable at 2133 then there is something wrong with it that needs to be fixed.  It sounds instead like getting to 2133 is not guaranteed, and is much more of an art than simply throwing the modules in and powering up the system.
    I'm perfectly happy at 1600 knowing the system is stable.  Indeed realizing now that 2133 requires overclocking, I may well have backed off to 1600 even if everything had worked just fine at 2300, just to trade extra stability for the (small) performance improvement that I would likely never notice anyway.
    I'll put together a post for the G.SKILL forums, and if I get anything useful I'll post what I learn here for completeness. 
    Thanks again for the fast and informative replies.  It's much appreciated.
    Best,
    -Paul

  • MOVED: ram compatability msi z87 g45

    This topic has been moved to Intel Core-iX boards.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=171226.0

    I also have a MSI Z87 G45 motherboard.
    I tried 1 working RAM module in all 4 sockets while testing and my memory only works in the 2 sockets closest to the CPU. I get no display when putting RAM in the other sockets.
    I have 4x4GB DDR3-2400 modules, Kingston HyperX Anniversary  (KHX24C11X3K4/16X).
    I also tried the flash the BIOS to the latest but no improvements.
    I got older Kingston HyperX (DDR3-1866) that do work in the other sockets.
    Do I need to configure my BIOS first before inserting the RAM in those sockets?

  • MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming BIOS Update

    Bought this setup quite a while ago, running a 4670k on the z87 gd65 gaming board and thought about trying a bit of OCing, probably just gonna try out the OC Genie for now, but i was wondering if it would be a good idea to do a BIOS update or is that not necessary? Im still running on bios 1.3 which from what i can see on the msi site is a quite old one.

    Quote from: flobelix on 23-September-14, 01:02:53
    No, 1.3 is too outdated. If wanting to go for latest generation vga get the latest vga (1.B):
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
         A.) Download the attached archive (E7845IMS_1B0.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
         B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
         C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
         D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
         E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
         F.) Boot to the USB 
         G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
         H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows:  http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip
    Thanks Flobelix, running windows 7 but i guess the procedure is still the same, are the ME drivers the chipset drivers? i downloaded the chipset drivers for my OS from the msi site (intel_chipse_9_mb.zip) or is it the "Intel Management Engine Driver+Microsoft hotfix".

  • MSI z87 g45 Boot up issues

    So I built a computer for my sister and her husband and it has been having some boot up issues,Here are the computer parts:
    wiindows 7 64bit
    MSI Z87 G45 Gaming motherboard
    INTEL CORE I-7 4770K 3.5GHZ
    RADEON HD 5700 GPU
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
    kINGSTON 64 GB SSD ( spare part, not sure the numbers)
    Sunbeam PSU-H680-REV-US 680W ATX 12V 2.0 Power Supply - OEM
    Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM
    ASUS Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Drive Model BC-12B1ST/BLK/B/AS
    I've cleared both the HDD and SSD and now I'm looking to check the msi z87 g45 mobo, The computer starts up and sits on a2 for a while and then sometimes it fails to detect the SSD and says a0 and then I have to go back into the bios after I reset the computer again and maybe it detected the SSD and I can set it to boot from that again because it constantly changes the boot order, and sometimes it gives a blue screen when nearly into windows and then restarts, I had transferred some data from their old computer to this one and the data had virus's in it and I didnt know so I eventually found out and a day later and got rid of them all and the computer started behaving better but not fixed, faster mainly, I don't know if the virus may have altered some files so, I have a few more things to try, any help would be appreciated.
    (Something I forgot to mention is that when I unplugg the HDD all the issues go away, the computer seems to work fine, But there are no issues with the hdd, ive tested it with seatools and I plugged it into my computer and restarted mant times as well as used my computer for a while and nothing, the HDD is fine, the start up on their computer sits on a2 for a long time when it isnt going to work and it only happens with the 2tb seagate HDD plugged in)

    which storage drive holds the boot files the SSD or the HDD? the ATA mode of the BIOS needs to remain in the same mode it was when Windows was deployed to the storage drive. next the only way a BIOS settings will change with out user input is if the Li cell battery is going dead/the BIOS is getting reset frequently. sounds like you're about at square one, I'd format the Seagate 2TB HDD, install windows onto that either in RAID or AHCI mode whichever your preference, you can use the 64GB SSD as caching later if you use RAID mode, if AHCI the 64GB could be spare. I don't understand the SSD as boot drive method, it doesn't make sense the solid state storage is volatile meaning it degrades over time, the HDD isn't and the performance gain isn't going to change the way you use your PC. AHCI has it's advantages it's up to you. Following those steps is the only way you're going to keep the computer booting on a regular basis. You shouldn't need to manually configure which storage drive to initialize/boot from first, the BIOS automatically goes through your devices to find boot files then boots from the first one with boot files, it won't even try to boot from a device without boot files, because it can't. Just to reiterate the BSOD you speak of sounds similar to the ATA mode changing to something other than what it was when Windows was deployed to the device.

  • MSI Z87-G45 + Razer Megalodon

    Hi guys n gals of msi, before we get down to it, yes there are topics about this and ive searched trough them but cant find a definitive answer.
    So here it goes, im using a MSI Z87-G45 with my lovely razer megalodons, and heres my issue, i can get sound, and my microphone to work, but not at the same time, if i lets say use skype, it will mute my microphone, letting me hear what my partner says, but if i use spotify, i cant then use the voice recorder to record my voice, but if i dont use neither, i can start recording my voice, but then i cant turn music on.
    I dont know what has caused this, ive recently upgraded my motherboard, and did a fresh install, worked fine until i went trough and installed all of the latest drivers etc, and now i have this issue, dont know if i shall just kiss my razers goodbye and go back to my old siberia v2.
    Anyone ever heard of this issue before, or how to solve it, googling or searching didnt give any answers at all, ask any questions and ill try to answer them asap
    tyvm before hand / rob

    All you can do is flash the bios to the latest version and update all the drivers to the latest.
    >> BIOSes<<
    Also update the firmware of the Razer equipment.
    If nothing you need to contact MSI and Razer.
    >>How to contact MSI.<<
    I'll check for any newer releases.
    Quote
    I can only conclude the USB 2 implementation on this Motherboard is dodgy.
    That is a quite an assumption, it would be one thing if it wouldn't work at all or would for instance cut in and out. Perhaps if devices other than Razer products had this many issues I would come to the same. I have used Razer gear on all kinds of equipment and usually have had some quirks. (I love Razer gear btw, BUT THEY CAN BE A PAIN IN THE BUTT) This sounds much more like a driver issue, is this windows 8?
