MSI Z87-G45 No External Video

Hello, IF anyone could please provide some insight to this it would be very helpful.
Setup a new rig using MSI Z87-G45 , I5-4670K, CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600, Radeon 6850HD, Antec 650w PSU, Samsung SSD.
When I power on it doesn't post. If I take out the video card and connect HDMI to the on board(on chip?) video I do get bios, windows etc. Thought this might be the board as the video card works in other machines. Returned the board, install new one, same issue.
I have searched the bios for some setting I may be missing but can't seem to find anything that helps. I have also tried a GeForce 650ti and get the same results.
Please help.

Remove the CPU and check the CPU socket pins with a bright light and a magnifier from multiple angles as you may have some bent ones that connect one of the PCI-E lanes from the slot to the PCI-E controller inside the CPU! tell us if you find any?

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.

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.

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,

MSI Z87-G45 problems

I'm having issues (again) with the MSI Z87-G45 motherboard. This is a replacement board from having to RMA my initial purchase. Brand new build and I cannot get any display. I have reseated the cpu, ram, and graphics card multiple times. I disconnected everything from the motherboard except for the essential items and I still do not get a display. I tried without a graphics card and was still unable to get a display. When using DVI the monitor goes into standby mode. When using VGA the monitor doesn't recognize it's hooked up to anything. I use this monitor on multiple computers in my house so 10000% sure it is not the monitor. All components are out of the case.
Components I have tested:
cpu: Intel Pentium G3258, Intel Celeron G3220
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45
gpu: MSI R9 280, MSI R7 260, no gpu
psu: EVGA 750w 80+ Bronze, Corsair CX430w 80+ Bronze
ram: Pny XL9 1600 DDR3 8gb stick, Kingston Fury 1866 DDR3 8gb stick
Is there something I'm missing or is this as simple as I received another bad board?

So...

ram: Pny XL9 1600 DDR3 8gb stick, Kingston Fury 1866 DDR3 8gb stick
Are you mixing RAM??
Did you try to reser CMOS? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
When I was very beginner, I had a computer with GPU, and I had similar problem: no display. Well, I was smart enough to plug my HDMI to on board HDMI port even though there was a GPU. So please make sure that you plug the cable to the graphics card.
Can you try different video cable? DVI/VGA/HDMI.
Intel Pentium G3258 will NOT work as your board BIOS is probably earlier than required for this chip to run properly.

MSI Z87 G45

hi, just recently i've bought this board, my USB keyboard not working on the POST there, but in the windows its okay. i tot it would be the bios usb legacy enable/disable. i use the other keyboard and went to enable the usb legacy, but still the previous usb keyboard still not working by the POST time. i just dont want to switch to other keyboard when i wanted to go to the bios.
Any idea what's happening?

"lifting this topic up" !!
First of all my specs;
Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Socket-1150
MSI GeForce GTX 760 Gaming 2GB
2x Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 4GB CL9
1000w PSU
sata 3 500gb HDD
I recently bought 2 of theese MB:s, one for my computer and also i build a computer for my GF..
im struggling ALOT with my keyboard sometimes not working neither from startup or in windows..
i have been updating BIOS to the latest, and while doin that i noticed in the info that there was some USB issues that had been "corrected".
Well apperently this issue i have is a pain and it wont give in.. i have been tryin 3 other keyboards and at the point its not working, no keyboard is working, EXCEPT, for the one i use for GF computer, wich is a wireless Logitech k850 something keyboard, That one works like a charm, but none of my wired ones..
Strange thing tho, is when it is working, i tapped into BIOS to check if there was some USB setting to change or smth, but nothing.. tho i noticed it said i had 2 keyboards installed o.O, 2 ?! no i only have 1..
Why does it say 2?
One more thing just, while keyboard aint working, my Bluetooth stick works, USB memory works, Mouse works, and External usb3 disc works..
Yet it says this in the USB setting that i have 7 of 8 unused ports, and 1 port with unknown device..
anyone know the solution to this? :3
Please write a line or two so i can fix this!
Best regards // Emil

MOVED: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G + MSI Z87-G45 incompatible? Noise on speakers

This topic has been moved to MSI Intel boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=184068.0

Used hardware
MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G (+ RMA'ed new one)
Gigabyte 670 GTX Windforce
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard (with Intel i7-4770K, Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB, and Crucial M500 - 480GB SSD)
Asus P5N32-E with Q6600 and 8GB DDR2 (Going to test this)
SoundBlaster-Z Audio card
Roccat Kave 5.1 Gaming Headphones (4x 3.5 mm jacks: Front, Rear, Center&bass, Microphone + USB amp/volume control)
Corsair B600 (600W) PSU (secondary)
Corsair RM750 (750W) PSU (Primary)
To summarize
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + Gigabyte GTX 670 + Roccat Kave = really faint noise only when scrolling in browser, in game not heard
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave = in game loud and heavy noise + screech when scrolling in browser
Corsair RM750 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game moderate to heavy noise
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave = In game weak to moderate noise
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 + MSI GTX 970 + Soundblaster-Z + Roccat Kave with Mic disconnected = Almost no noise, ifg you listen for it, really faint background noise in game. But well within my acceptable limits.
Tomorrow I'll try:
Corsair B600 + MSI Z87-G45 (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave without mic
Corsair RM750 + Asus P5N32-E (onboard sound) + MSI GTX 970 + Roccat Kave with mic
I failed to mention, that the first thing I did was to remove my HD Audio Front panel connector off its header.
So I did some more searches. The noise has something to do with the capacitors on (presumably) the video card. The higher the pitch usually coincides with higher FPS. So the interference must be coming from the video card, as this is the last thing added and probably the main cause.
Both the motherboard & the SoundBlaster-Z pick up the EMI/RF interference. (I am disappointed by the SoundBlaster about this).
I'll test with the older motherboard and see how I proceed from there.

Hi ,
I bought a z87-g45 motherboard and built my new computer however, motherboard does not show any response. I plugged in all of the cable but it something is not happen.
Can you recommend any troubleshooting idea. And also I checked my psu but I cannot check the mobo.

I tried but it still does not work.

New MSI Z87 G45 Build Stuttering Issues

So few days ago i finally built my new rig:
Specs:
Intel 4670K
MSI Z87 G45
MSI 760 GAMING OC
G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB 1600 CL9
Seasonic G 550
Samsung Evo 250
WD RED 2TB
So i noticed that i get micro stutter when playing HD videos or youtube videos. Same stutter applies on some HTML5 effects and desktop also..
There is no stutter present when gaming but i do get kind of "slowmo" feel even when my FPS is high enough 60+ (or i'm just picky or somethin...)
I tried everything from installing drivers,, reinstalling OS, Using HDD as OS drive then used Oboard GPU and still the same issue.
Does anyone know what could be the problem? could mobo be damaged? memory? or cpu?
I even did tons of benchmarks and everythine is stable and fine and shows no ERRORS.
I also updated the bios to the latest version (1.5)
Does anyone have any clue what might be going on?
I think few monhts i found someone who had similar problem and fixed this but cant find it anymore...

Are you able to post screen shots of the memory and spd tabs of CPUZ?
Is the ram installed into DIMMS 2 & 4? (2nd and furthest from the CPU)
Have you tried a full Cmos Clear? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

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.

Is MSI Z87-G45 compatible with Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 and TridentX ?

Hello,
I have a MSI Z87-G45 and 2 DDR3 TridentX (from 40 mm tall without heatspreader to 53mm with it) in dual channel mode.
I'd like to mount a Be Quiet Dark Rock 3 with rear air extraction, front heatsink fan, and my DDR3 in dual channel mode (slot 2 and 4). Is it compatible or will I encounter clearance issue with DDR3 ?
Thanks

I bought the Dark Rock 3 from Be Quiet and I confirm that it is perfectly compatible with both TridentX and MSI Z87-G45 but we have to sacrifice the DDR's first slot (2, 3 and 4 still available).

MSI Z87-G45 and BSoD all time

Hi,
my configuration:
MSI Z87-G45,
i5 4670k
2x8 GB ddr3 Patriot Viper 3 1600MHz CL9
Radeon HD 6870
PSU Corsair 550W
HDD SATA WD 500GB
SSD Corsair Force 3 128 GB
Windows 7 64bit
...and i have BSOD all time... At first I thought that the problem is SSD, but yesterday unplugget him and put normal HDD. And still got bluescreens. I updated BIOS to version 1.4, restored default settings and I tried to manually set the memory and enable/disable XMP profile. Memtest86 passed without problems. I changed SATA ports and dunno what more to do. Help please.

no BSOD so far, so this mean that first ram piece is bad?
Have that RAM kit exchanged. Perhaps even consider a Corsair Vengeance or Vengeance Pro. http://www.corsair.com/us/memory-by-product-family/vengeance-pro-series-memory/vengeance-pro-series-16gb-2-x-8gb-ddr3-dram-1600mhz-c9-memory-kit-cmy16gx3m2a1600c9.html

IRQL_NOT_LES_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000A
This Stop error message usually occurs during installation when there was an attempt in kernel mode to touch pageable memory at too high a process internal request level (IRQL).
Ouch, I just rechecked your screenshot. That XMP profile calls for a CR of 3T. Your setting is 1T. That is one probable cause as per the error explanation above.
I would consider an alternative kit as 3T essentially points to a lesser quality memory chip on those modules. You can of course attempt to manually set your CR to 2T or 3T and see if it works for you.

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-G55 GL vs MSI Z87-G45

Hi
So i am buying a new MOBO, and as u can see from the title i am choosing between MSI Z87-G55 GL and MSI Z87-G45 Gaming. But i can't find any good comparisons other than that that one is blue and the other red and about 20$ more expensive. Some sites that list all the specs even imply that the G55 is better. So can anyone tell me what is the difference between then and which one should i buy?
Tnx for the replies

Quote from: Nichrome on 19-November-13, 02:05:56
I own z87-g45 gaming. All I think is that the Network Killer LAN, other then that, might be for example little difference between RAM OC'ing?
Just noticed that g55 doesn;'t seem to have Clear CMOS button on the back I/O panel? Not sure, just briefly overviewed it. If you don't mind the 20$, then go for the colour you like? I am not pro, but I am happy with my g45 gaming mobo.
----------------- EDIT ------------------
Just found on NewEgg that G55:
It says the board has integrated WiFi, but I'm not seeing any info about it in the specs. Anyone have experience with it? Would I be better off with a PCI card? Nov 13,2013
And apart from that difference (possibly, cant assure) G45 just looks a bit better (in my opinion).
Dylan B:Currently it comes with a free wireless adapter, but I don't see anything in the specs about integrated WiFi. Nov 14,2013
I own a z77 mpower which has integrated WI-FI. I can tell you that for that board at least, I wasn't happy with the wifi and used an PCI card until I ended up running a Ethernet cable. I wouldn't call the wifi adaptor terrible, but it wasn't as good as a top end pcie card.
Hope this helps.

Overclocking Help .... MSI Z87 G45 with i5 4670k

Hi guys first of all i want to say MSI ROCKS!!!!!....
Purchased my first ever MSI motherboard and very satisfied from it ..... the looks are killer and now i want to see if its killer in OC as well ....
My specs are as follows:
MSI Z87 G45 (bios version 1.7)
Core i5 4670k
GSKILL Rip Jaws 8gb (4x2) 2133 mhz (but running at 1600)
Sapphire R9 290 TRI-X OC 4GB
Corsair GS800 800 watts psu....
Now my goal is to get safest OC around 4.2 - 4.4 ghz with minimal voltage and fully stable ..... its my first time with K series processor and there are just so many settings in the BIOS .... I know how to change the multiplier and CPU voltage and i tried doing 4.4 ghz @ 1.15 but it wasn't stable in AIDA64 stress test .... so help me oh the mighty overclockers :D .... Screenshots of bios settings would be highly appreciated ....

Using Cooler Master Hyper 212+ with it with dual fans .... I did some overclocking on my own today (saw some OC screeshots of bios of Z87 G45 by some people) ...... 4.3 GHZ @ 1.15 voltage (but CPU-Z and AIDA 64 both showing 1.224) ...... Did 2 hours testing of Aida-64 stability and maximum temp i reached was 69c on one core and 65c TJ .... I couldn't boot into windows on the same settings @ 4.4 ghz ..... here are the screenshots of my OC profile .....
still my aim is to get maximum safest OC with lowest possible voltage ...

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?
