Msi z87-g45 gaming, no display, no beep.

I am building a gaming computer. When i turn on my computer the cpu fan spins quickly then immediately slows down to a slow spinning state. My Boost audio light is on as well. But i get no display. I have tried the DVI HDMI and VGA outputs. I also accidentally pressed the cmos button while the compute was on. I also removed my mobo battery for 5 mins. Oh and on top of all that i dont have my standoffs. So maybe the board is short circuiting. But if that was the case my is my cpu fan remaining on as well as my boost audio light?
Here are my specs:
Ultra 550w ATX Power Supply
2 DDR3 in slots 2 and 4
Cpu with no bent pins (that i can tell)
Thanks for your help.

Im having exactly the same problem did you manage to get it working in the end?
The board has been tested by aria computing and came back fine they have also replaced the RAM and CPU incase they were the problem. Il list all the things Iv tried so far. Thing that gets me is there is no beep when I turn it on so something is wrong and im banging my head against the wall not being able to figure it out.
Checked both power connections many many times
Check for shorts
Changed power supply
Changed RAM (and tested in all configerations)
Tested 3 monitors on all ports (onboard DVI, VGA and HDMI)
Put 3 GPU's in it as well and tested all ports on them
Tested on a low end CPU
Tried out of case with just power leads and a monitor connected (no HD,USB,frount audio)
Reset COSMOS and checked the battery
Here are the specs
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Processor
MSI Z87-G45 GAMING Intel Z87 (Socket 1150)
16GB Mushkin Enhanced Silverline #997018 (2x8GB) 1333 (PC3-10666) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM CAS 9-9-9-24 1.5V

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, sound from USB mouse?

Hi!
I have some issue from my new computer, see spec below.
For the information I have a MSI Z87-G45 motherboard.
I have some sound that occurs sometimes (specially during the first 2-5 minutes) when i move the mouse around.
It occurs as well sometimes when I been using the computer for a while, basically random just more frequently at the start-up.
It's hard to know from where the sound occurs, could be PSU but today I read something on another forum about the motherboard I'm using:
- Higher sound quality using USB, thanks to special adapted current power.
So i wounder if this can be the case? Is that the reason why i get this noise from inside the computer?
Is there some way to disabled this "feature" in BIOS?
Greetings

The sound sounds like the old mechanics hdd kinda.
It comes inside the computer, not the speakers.
My feelings is that it can be the PSU as well, just wanted to check this first, since it most often comes when i move my mouse.

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.

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

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming not entering setup or boot menu

Please someone help, I am getting no setup or boot menu, case & CPU fans come on, drives come on, led's come on, but blank screen.
I took out the graphic card & ram sticks, pulled the plug for leds & case fans, took all cables off HDD's, now only cpu & one stick of ram in dimm 2 connected + power switch.
plugged vga cable direct in MB, blank screen, then plugged cable in MB HDMI, blank screen.
tested monitor, ram & power supply in my sons computer which is a x58 LGA1366, all worked well.
I have no means of testing motherboard or cpu.
specs:
MB: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
CPU: i5-4670k
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical 1866MHz 9-9-9-27 1.5v
PSU: Corsair CS650M
I also tried another PSU a Thermaltake AP850W
P.S.
I have reset all i.e. pulled plug, taken battery out, pressed reset & shorted the two reset pins next to battery.

newer board are different they need at least a CPU to even show a code as they use that to activate the BIOS and if they do not have that it will FAIL to post anything as the board is used as a backbone as nearly all the important stuff is on the CPU itself (Processor, IMC, SATA controller, Network Controller, VRM (on Haswell), GPU and many other things) so it will fail to post as before it was only a processor but now there more of a system on chip really and has most of the important stuff that used to be on the Board itself so without that the Motherboard is just an electrical plane with impressively limited connections as all the good stuff is now on the Processor that you do not have!
There is not much that you can tell till you at least get that CPU as the board has nothing to work with as there is nothing to process the signals from the BIOS so its just a useless item so shows nothing.

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming running the second gpu @ x2 speed

Hi i have a problem with my second gpu running x2 while my main gpu stay's @ x16 but it's suppose to be 8 and 8 ?
Here are my specs:
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
I7 4770K - H80
G.Skill 16GB 1600Mhz
XFX Radeon HD6990 + Sapphire Radeon HD6970
I'ts the Sapphire running at x2
Kind regards MojoW

I don't really know if your non-identical cards working fine when combined crossfire.I think two identical card either for crossfire or sli are the best solution to avoid troubles. Apart from that ,you have enabled your crossfire setting from your driver ,right?(and your driver is up to date,I suppose)
Edit:
P.S though Having a dual gpu card combined with a single gpu one with crossfire...I think that's impossible.

I recieved a new faulty MSI Z87 G45 Gaming Motherboard ?!

Hello,
I ordered an MSI Z87 G45 Gaming Motherboard a couple of days ago and received it. 3 Days ago I received my power supply so I could start to build my gaming build. Once I wanted to put my CPU into the CPU slot on my MSI Z87 G45 Gaming motherboard I noticed that the CPU slot had bents on it. I quickly contacted my seller and he told me to contact MSI Support since they have this covered. Please can someone help me sort this out.
Best Regards

If you are in the UK, the reseller needs to handle the RMA. I would recommend calling the re-seller back and raising cain with them until they take it back.
As for repairing the pins, it is usually fairly simple. A bright light and eyeglass screwdriver usually does the trick.
Thanks again xmad,
But I think I would rather replace the motherboard since it may have problems later. You never know why the cpu slot was damaged in the first place, maybe other components are also affected..

How to increase maximum buffer memory on MSI Z87-G45 Gaming,s1150?

good day,
is there a way to increase the maximum buffer memory for PCI-E X16 ports? e.g. a bios setting that allows this?
here are my specs:
- 2 x XFX HD7950 Double Dissipation (FX-795A-TDFC)
- MSI Z87-G45 Gaming,s1150
- Intel Core i3-4130,s1150
- 1 x TNAV6R00 Corsair RM1000 (Gold standard)
- ICIDU Value DDR3 1333 (2x4GB)
- Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit

perhaps I can be a bit more specific regarding my problem
I am using above described rig for mining purposes. One of the related performance variables is 'thread concurrency' (CGMINER). it is currently set to value 8192, corresponding to about 512mb of buffer memory for the PCI-E ports. I can not increase it, as i get the error that the system is out of buffer memory. Thing is, the system should have a lot more. The PCI-E cards hav 3GB each and my system ram is 2x4GB.
one relate variable I am already using is the following command line
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
this usually solves above problem, but not in this case...
anybody got any ideas?

M-Sata on MSI Z87 G45 Gaming Bootable?

Hi, I was wondering if the Msata port on the MSI Z87 G45 Gaming motherboard can be used for your boot drive/os?
I really hate sata connectors as they always seem to break over time or pretty-much any movement in the case.

Yes. Just set the correct boot order in the bios.

MSI Z87-G45 GAMING.. does the killer networking work with Windows 8.1?

I was scrolling through the reviews for this board and someone mentioned in the reviews that the killer networking isnt supported with windows 8.1 yet.
Is this still true or are there updated drivers for windows 8.1 now?
Thanks.

There is a driver posted on MSI's website for 8.1.

Msi z87 g45 gaming supports supercharger

I wanted to know if my msi z87 g45 supports supercharger features

So;
It won't let you charge phone/tablet (any USB device) when the PC is off as this board does NOT have red USB 2.0 header like this one:
Quote
http://64.183.18.101/faq/images/sc.jpg
Though with appropriate settings within BIOS you will be able to do this while PC is in sleep mode or simply running (super charger would increase voltage output of USB2.0 header)

MSI Z87-G45 gaming incorrect values

Hello guys,
I got a problem with my z87-g45. It shows that the cpu temp is 0 degrees, so I updated the bios to look if it fixed it self, but no it don't.
I also pulled the cmos battery, it remains the same. So what should I do?
Also in hardware monitor the rpm speeds aren't right, its says the maximum is 7000 rpm, but my cpu fan only goes to 1300 rpm, as a result that my cpu fan is always running at low speed.
But if anyone knows a cpu fan controller software(command center is buggy and speedfan does not respond) then there is no problem for my.
I will post pictures soon.
Thank you for helping out,

One size never fits all. Maybe his ambient is very high. Maybe the case cooling, TIM, or CPU cooler isn't as good as it could be. Maybe the CPU is overclocked with power saving disabled. Maybe the OP wants the fans to run 100% at idle and low use. An 'ideal' setting is the one the OP chooses for his system. He now knows how to do it, so the choices are his on how to fine tune the fan settings.

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming- computer wont start after bios update

Hello!
I just updated my bios to 1.6 --> computer wont start now but the fans are spinning, and the power led are black...
I took out the cmos battery for 30 min and shortened the JBAT1..
Can someone help me?

Well, as the G45 does not offer a backup bios your board seems to be bricked. You can try the recovery tips here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=174985.0
If no help rma it.
