MSI Z87-GD65, Freezing while gaming, then reboot loop/bsod/total failure.

Hey fellow MSI'ers
Im hoping to find a solution for my problem i have been getting. I build a custom gaming rig a few months ago (specs below)
Sinds a couple of days iv been getting wierd problems, System runs fine, i can do everything watch movies do work stuff. But when i start gaming it will work great for about 15-30 minutes, then i hear a click/beep thru the sound system, and a total pc freeze, screen freezes nothing works.
So i hit the reboot, then the system decides to turn itself off and get into a reboot loop, turning on for few seconds then turning off again for a few back on for a few, etc etc.
Only way i can get it running is pull the power, make sure the Motherboard has no charge left, then wait a bit and replug the power. Most times it will boot up fine and story starts at part 1 again.
First off i thought it would be temperature, tho im running a almoost ull watercooled system, (Ramm + cpu + video) and i put up temp controlls on my seconds screen, and they never got above 35, on any of the components.
Now seeing my build it is extreemley hard to quickly test a diffirent component, been running memtest with no problems, But when i do graphx/cpu stresstest/benchmark i get the same issue.
As i stated before it has been running perfectly for few months.
I read that PSU might be a problem, compatability wise with Haswell, tho then it wouldnt have worked for so long and just now giving these strange problems.
What i tryéd so far:
-Reinstall windows
-Flash bios
-clear bios
-unplug as much as possible
-diffirent ramm
-Running with or without crossfire enabled.
All same problems, i hope somebody has a idea without having to pull apart my custom build.
Specs:
-Cooler Master HAF XB
-Intel Haswell 4770k
-MSI Z87-GD65
-2x Asus 7970 in Crossfire.
-Corsair Dominator GT 2x4gb
-Corsair ForceGT 128GB SSD
-Antec TruePower 1200
-2x 512gb Seagate MomentusXT

Hi again,

UPDATE: Been running bencharmks/stresstest from onboard graphix, both cards disconnected. (lots of towels to be sure) and runs without problems, tho reallo low fps but thats expected.
Going to see if i can run 1 card at a time, see if i can cause the problem to happen again.
So did you agtually try it?
Yep, bleeding is nice job and dooing it right on all steps is needed so yeah great, but if your CPU can handel the stress and you have tested the PSU then i cant see other way.
Tip: take the hard loop,pipe, bridge(betwean the blocks away and add two 90angle fittings with long tobe, so you can rest each card away the pc 1 at time that way you dont need to bleed the system bitwean.
(allso rest of the toops needs to be so long that it can be far away...)
And yes you need reg edit your SATA drivers like xmad sayd, if you like to change IDE to RAID.
P.s. nice build! Hope you get it working 
Edit: You dont need to insert that PSU in the case, just connect wires whrere they need to be, at the momen for testing.
Edit2: My current needs little service and update( add backplate, water change, delid cpu and moving GPU to bottom slot).
Edit3: Wait that one 120mm low Rad keeps your sytem 32c??? Damn you have great chips, cold house or software issue. need for delid main is the heat i dont like and i have hmm 10 times that space to get heat off :D

  • MSI P67A GD65 System Freezes while Gaming

    hey
    i m facing system hangs/freezes while gaming. it is all along working fine but suddenly problem arrises outta nowhere.  mostly happens in Metro Last Light Game.  i did change multiple things like 2 different rams stick, Bios are 4.1v (at default), i tried 2 different GPUs like 290 and 580 but stilll facing same issue. dont know why.
    if you can help on it this, it would be alot appreciated.

    What is the actual power supply?
    Follow this >>Posting Guide<<
    Make sure you run latest BIOS.
    PS: Intel ME driver is crucial, without it system won't work properly, and that's why it didn't freeze anymore. Same applies to GPUs: if you have 400W power supply and want to run 2-way SLI, it will be fine until you install drivers, which make the computer and graphic cards recognise how much power they have and so on

  • MSI Z87 GD65 Crashing/Freezing/No Monitor Signal

    So the other night I was playing WoW for a few hours... When I woke back up and turned my computer on it booted up... The fans kicked on/keyboard and mouse lite up and the screen said no signal. I shut it down pulled the power for awhile then booted back up. Then booted it back up and everything was fine when I opened wow and logged in 2 second later the computer rebooted it self. When rebooting the computer the screen said lost signal to the monitor again and the only way to get that back on is by pulling the power cable.... It would also freeze time to time....Now the computer wont even show the screen... What is faulty? MB/Graphics card? Im using MSI Z87 GD65 MB and the MSI 770 Twin Forzr 2gb.
    Things I tried
    Reformatting
    Resitting Graphics Card/Ram
    Switching Graphics Card on a different slot
    Different driver
    Canned air for cleaning

    I tried clearing the CMOS, the graphics card fans are running but not sending signal to the monitor, I took it out and using on board... that works fine... Im trying to figure whats the problem is before I go purchase the new part.

  • MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming and msata speed issue...

    Hi,
    So I'm running the MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming with a 128GB SanDisk msata. Now it all works perfectly; no BSOD or crashes, but what I have noticed is that sometimes when the PC boots and I look in Intel Rapid Storage Technology, the msata on port 5 is running at 3Gb/s not 6Gb/s: I verified the speed loss using AS SSD benchmark. Reboot and it's back to 6Gb/s and back to full speed.
    Anyone else seen this or have an idea of a solution?
    Thanks

    Quote from: JLio01 on 06-March-15, 14:21:58
    How often can you notice the problem? You mentioned AS SSD Benchmark has speed loss, what's the result of speed test then?
    I notice it a couple of times a day minimum

  • MSI Z87 GD65 GAMING Doesn't recognize crossfire. Help Pls.

    Hello everyone, I've had several board msi brand, such as B3 P68 GD65, GD65 G3 Z68, Z68 GD80 G3, last week bought a Z87 GD65 gaming, but I can not activate the second video card, installed the  amd 13.9 drivers with just one card ,rebooted and installed the second does not recognize the second card. I tested amd drivers 13.10v2 and does not work, I tested with the older  amd drivers 13.4 official and does not recognize the second card.
    Tested one by one each both graphical works fine.
    I have the crossfire bridge connected.
    I must change something in the bios? To recognize the second card? what ?
     Never happened to me on msi boards such things and i haved always crossfire.

    Hi everybody,
    I tested one at a time in the pci-e 2 and works.
    And do the same on Pci-e nº1. works fine the 2 card.
    "Several possibles. If testing a card by itself in the second slot does not work, then either there is a problem with an errant standoff or other item shorting underneath the mainboard. The other most common reason is CPU socket pin(s) bent or damaged or the CPU cooler mouinted incorrectly or unevenly torqued.
    I don´t  believe it the pins because if you look at the GPU-Z recognizes the two cards.
    And appears on device manager the to cards.
    I am using SO w7 ultimate, and the board bios is the last version.
    Is something else must be some setting in bios, and i don´t no...

  • Flashing of MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING failed and dual bios not helping, not sure why?

    Hi all
    For the first time in 20 years Ive had a firmware flash fail it seems.
    I have a MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING and updated the bios with the latest firmware via the "M-FLASH" utility within the systems bios.
    All seemed to have gone well, it flashed to 100% rebooted and then just a blank screen and a sequence of keyboard light flashes.
    After a minutes panic I thought not to worry, the motherboard has a dual bios.   So I powered down and switched the bios switch to bios B hoping it would assist and the problem is identical.
    Any tips anyone?

    I just tried this along with removing power from the main board and it seems one of the two did it!   thanks

  • MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard Booting Windows 7 Trouble

    Hi guys, today I bought the MSI Z87-GD65 Mobo, 2 Sticks of 4GB RAM and the Intel i7 4770. I bought these to upgrade my old system and the only other parts im using is my Nvidia GTX570, PSU and my 2TB Seagate HDD.
    Everything hardware works normal, no abnormal signs.
    My problem is when it boots up, it says "find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /win7ldr. Error 15: File not found"
    I've tried using my windows 7 disc and it says all my stuff is still there and the startup troubleshooter doesn't find any issues. I tried putting my RAM in properly and its in nicely. (they are in the 3rd and 4th slot though) My power is fine, its just the BIOS isn't booting it =(
    -The BIOS is updated
    -No Hardware faults
    Note: when i press any key to continue, it comes up with GRUB4DOS and has options like: "Windows 7 with SLIC Loader (Default)"
    Please help me if you know anything!

    Hi,

    Its a fresh install of Windows 7, i had to do it to fix my original problem =/
    Update: I changed the RAM and put them in the slots u suggested, no change.
    Sorry, when i post my last anser, i didnt know your new problem
    Sounds like old problem from time of XP to Vista.
    Firsth. Take out that USB connection of your headset from PC.
    Secend. Uninstall any driver that headset (or you) may have installed to your OS.
    Third. Run registercleaner program.
    Fourth. Shotdown PC and then start again (dont just reboot!)
    Fifth. Download and/or Install drivers for that USB headset.
    Sixth. Reboot that PC.
    Seventh. Insert that USB connection.
    I hope this helps! Cheers, Mummy
    If not i would try to ubdate intel chipset drivers(if MSI ones dont work, i would go to Intel site and try them from there) and if those dont help then another reinstall of OS and member to inser USB device after installing drivers for the device.

  • MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming+Network card.

    So I bought Intel Pro 1000GT Desktop Adapter, till I tried putting in my motherboard... IT DID NOT FIT ! I have to say that its the wrong one even tho I was told that it would fit...(Best Buy told me)
    If Intel Pro 1000GT is indeed the wrong card for my motherboard, which Intel Pro 1000 would definitely fit?
    My reason for getting adapter is due to Killer onboard network causing my pings in the game to elevates. normally 26ms and it tenfold to 100ms+. then back down to 26ms then  56ms, so on... I even called my ISP provider they said its working as it should. I even ping test on other PC, it works flawlessy. So before switching to a different ISP (WideOutWest currently), I have to verify that everything is not on my end. I even bought myself Motorola Surfboard SB6141, and that fixed the issue I HAD before but the elevations still persist.
    I would love to have someone on here help me find the best Network Card for this MSI Z87 GD65 if possible. Thanks in advance!

    Not really, I've never had to use a discrete net card as the onboard (my current MB has Intel built in) has worked fine on all the MSI MBs Iv'e had over the years. I did take a quick look at newegg and they have the PCIe Intel net cards for decent price. One of the 2 should be OK I would guess.
     You posted that while I was looking those up at newegg. I suppose either one should be OK. I don't see much if any difference between the two of them.
    I'll get the BLK model. Hopefully its good for playing games. Thank you so much for spending time working it out with me

  • MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming EIST is not working

    Hi all, my EIST is not working properly, the CPU clock run between 3.7-3.9 all the time (VID 1.153 - 1.219)
    Here is my setup:
    Motherboard and CPU: MSI Z87 GD65 Gaming + 4770K
    OS: Clean installed Win 7 SP1 with most updated driver from MSI site.
    Bios version: 1.2 (All default settings)
    Actually the EIST works before without installing driver ME and chipset driver from MSI site, any advices?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi and welcome,
      to DougQuaid tip.
    Allso if you have OC your system, you need to set Ratio mode to Dynamic and voltage mode to Adaptive.
    Like in this picture of my BIOS settings. I marked those with yellow.
    Warning: After that you shouldent stress test your CPU anymore with Prime95, Occt, or so on programs. Because they could get the MB give too much power to CPU 
    I just tested those (ME and Chipset) files from MSI and still get my clock and voltage down normaly.
    There seams to be new official relice of BIOS 1.3v there too, so you could try that. if yours cot some bug in it.
    Also make sure on task manager that your pc isnt doing anything under. Like live Spybot/virus/... -Scans.
    I hope these help Cheers, Mummy

  • Checking ram that works with MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Intel Z87 Motherbo

    Was wondering if Vengeance pro series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 DRAM 2400MHz C10 Memory Kit (CMY16GX3M2A2400C10R) will work good on MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING Intel Z87 Motherboard or if im gonna need to do some tweeking.

    Since in the components purchasing stage for the project, a few tips for you. Check with the PSU manufacturer to make sure it is Haswell compliant. I like single rail +12V PSU's made by Corsair, but there are other good ones out there too. OS is also important. I prefer Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit, but if you go with Win 8 or 7, some GTX 780 issues may arise. GOP, VBIOS, mainboard updated to the very newest UEFI/BIOS etc. can be involved. UEFI/BIOS update is a good place to start if the graphics card gives you trouble. Research as much as you can prior to the build. Advance planning helps a lot on what to possibly expect.
    Here is the thread for UEFI/BIOS's;

    Start upping your voltage, my chip needs [email protected] and for stability at 4.4 it needs 1.38.
    Those guys on YouTube definitely got a better chip
    Once you get enough voltage to boot into windows without bsod start stability testing. Make sure to set volts to override

    i am using MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING board with intel core i7-4770K
    it should allow me to adjust turbo ratio/core ratio limit in the bios @ cpu features menu. already update to V1.2 bios.
    unfortunately that menu is set to read-only "Auto". it makes me looks like using 4770 NON-K CPU! 

    hahaha. no need to use exclamation mark, bro. 
    ok done. it is because i am confuse with some value with [Auto] and some with Auto without [] 
    for the information, i only managed to get 44x for the 1-core ratio. if more than that, it will go to bluescreen when booting.
    any idea how to solve that problem? like asus motherboard, it has PLL overvoltage to overcome ratio more than 45/46.
    how about MSI? its my 1st time using MSI motherboard for the i7 family.
