MSI z87-g45 no post screen with gpu

Hi,
This is a strange problem. I had windows 8.1 installed using the onboard gpu - i5-4670k and then I bought a MSI r9-280x to add to this new system.
When I plugged the new board in I couldn't enter the bios screen or see any post or windows starting screen. After a few seconds the windows main screen shows up so it gets into windows fine and I could install the new drivers for it etc.
Now whenever I boot it gives me no signal for a few seconds before windows main login screen comes up. No matter what I do I can't get to see the bios screen, even if I try plugging into the onboard graphics.
I think I do get into the bios because if I use the keyboard to enter the bios it never boots windows so is probably sitting at the bios screen but not showing anything. The only way I can get it to show the bios screen is to remove the gpu or at least one pci-e power plug from it an use the onboard graphics.
The same goes for booting from a usb stick - no signal but it will just sit there which is far from ideal as I can't run memtest or anything with the gpu plugged in.
I do have an unknown monitor stuck at 640x480 64hz using the ms basic display driver that won't go away but that shouldn't interfere with the BIOS post screen as it takes control before windows even starts.
Anyone have any ideas apart from the usual clear cmos which hasn't worked? I have the latest non beta bios - 1.5

I have the same motherboard as you and i have this problem as soon as i flash my R9 290 to a R9 290x.
I have tried the latest beta bios for the mobo, same problem.
I think it's bios related as someone else with a different mobo, fixed the exact same issue on a gigabyte mobo with a bios update.(From OCN)
So i think we have to wait for the next update.
I guess i'm lucky, because after i flash it back the problem is gone.
I'm sorry i couldn't be of more help.

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.

No..my phone on the pc table...
It looks like a PSU/grounding issue.
You might need to rebuild the entire PC.
Remove everything from the case and start with a minimal config (barebone).

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.

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).

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 ...

MSI Z87-G45 will not load OS with two SATA HDD's connected

I have an MSI Z87-G45 board and I am attempting to connect a second SATA HDD. Each time I connect the second disk and then power up the workstation I get the following message:
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
The primary HDD is a WD 160GB drive and the secondary drive that I am attempting to connect is a WD 2TB drive. I am not trying to dual boot, I just need a second disk for a little more space available. I am not sure if there are some settings that would need to be changed in the BIOS, but I would think that by default I could connect a secondary HDD, and it would be recognized as such. Anyone else dealt with this or have any pointers? This is really driving me crazy.
I should note everything else with the workstation works perfectly, it's just when adding a second drive, it will no longer load windows 7 from the 160GB drive.

That is one reason this is driving me crazy, I have made sure that the 160GB drive is primary in the boot process. Is there anything else you can think of that may be causing this?

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.

Z87 G45 No Post No Display

This seems to be a common issue, but after setting up my system using this motherboard, the system fails to post, and no display is sent to the monitor. When powered on, the fans and lights (including the audio boost light) will turn on for a few seconds, then turn off and turn back on, after which they continue to stay on until I power down the system. I've heard that psu compatibility with haswell might be an issue. I have an NZXT Hale 82 850W PSU, and I can't find any information on its compatibility with haswell. Does anyone know what the issue could be, or information on whether or not my psu is compatible?
System information:
Case: NZXT Phantom 410
Motherboard: msi z87 g45 gaming
CPU: Intel i7 4770k
Ram: 4x8 Corsair Vengeance 1866 MHz
PSU: NZXT Hale 82 850W
GPU: Sapphire Vapor X Radeon 7970 GHz edition 3GB
HDD: Hitachi 1TB 7200 RPM
SSD: Samsung 830 120GB

Quote from: Aristotle22 on 03-July-13, 05:30:41
Bought a new power supply. The thermaltake smart m series 850W. Should be haswell compatible. I ended up with the same result. No post, no display, and it powers on, powers off, and then stays on. I guess I'll try to rma the board, though due to the seemingly high frequency if this issue, I'm afraid a new board will just yield the same result... After which... I'm not sure what to do.
Any verification of that?

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 + MSI R9 280X + Windows 8.1 secure boot difficulties

After updating to Windows 8.1 Pro I had the "Secure Boot isn't configured properly" watermark as many others. I determined my disk is GPT partitioned, I enabled UEFI on the GPU by moving the physical switch from the 2 position to the 1 position, and enabled Windows 8 Feature + Secure Boot with standard settings in the G45 bios (ver 1.5). After doing save and reboot I'm presented with a blank screen with my monitor showing a "DVI no input" message. I reset the CMOS to allow me to boot again, but after a couple more tries with the secure boot settings such as enabling/disabling Fast Boot I have not been able to get it to work.
System:
MSI Z87 G45
8GB DDR3 1600mhz Crucial ram
I5-4670k
MSI R9 280X
Samsung 840 SSD 250gb
Asus cd/dvd drive

I want to know the same thing. I bought a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard this month and I can't activate Secure Boot on it because it's still in Setup Mode. I have no idea how to put the motherboard into User Mode and Google doesn't help me much further either. How to activate a key? I have a I5-5670K and GTX 770 by the way.

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<<

Z87-G45 BIOS Splash screen stays during windows startup animation

Hello all,
this is my first post on these forums and I haven't found any similar problems like mine so here it is:
when I power on the PC the normal BIOS splash screen comes up,
then it disappears and normally the windows (I'm running windows 8 Pro x64) startup animation should come up,
but with me the BIOS splash screen just returns and the windows startup circle just comes ontop of it,
like the normal startup animation but instead of a black background I have the BIOS splash screenas background and the windows logo itself also doesn't show,
just the loading circle...
My PC starts up pretty fast so its not that big of a deal but I just wondered if there was a fix
BTW I'm running on a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming with the latest BIOS version (1.3) and windows boots of an SSD

seems to be the normal way of booting. I've also just installed Win8 Pro in UEFI-Mode (not Legacy-UEFI!), and what I've heard from a friend that uses an ASUS board, is that this behavior indicates you are indeed booting in UEFI-Mode -> so no worries!
