MSI Z87 GD65 - Hangs on black screen with 9C at bottom right

Pretty much what the title says, 'MSI Z87 GD65 - Hangs on black screen with 9C at bottom right'. Does anyone have any idea why it does this? It hangs for a while before eventually continuing with the start-up, this is most frustrating when I have an SSD and want a quick start-up. I have already looked it up in the manual to no luck. Help?

9C last for me like 1 to 3s, depending on the amount of USB devices attached.   If I have only USB printer, keyboard, and mouse attached, it shows for roughly less than 1.5s.

  • MSI H77MA-G43 - Windows XP, black screen with A3 code

    Hi,
    I've just bought mb MSI H77MA-G43 and samsung SSD830 series.
    I have Windows XP.
    I had to have set Sata mode to IDE beforee installing XP because Windows didn't see ssd.
    Now it's ok but PC starts slowly. When I press power on button there is a black screen with A3 code and it takes some times(about 1-2 minutes) and next the Windows start normally.
    What should I do to fix this issue?
    Thanks for replies.

    If you want to install XP in AHCI mode you need to integrate the Intel AHCI drivers into an XP installation disk (with NLITE or XP ISO Driver) or load the drivers from a floppy disk during setup (Windows XP Setup only supports floppy drives/disks for that task, unfortunately).
    I know that, I integrated drivers: "Intel Rapid Storage Technology Floppy Driver for 7x series" from that link http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H77MA-G43.html#/?div=Driver&os=XP%2032 but it didn't help. SSD was still undetected, so I change SATA mode to IDE to install XP.

  • Will not boot - Black screen A2 code on bottom right.

    mobo:Z97S SLI KRAIT EDITION
    Samsung SSD - Windows and games are installed here
    WD HDD - Everything else is put on this one.
    Windows 7
    I installed an ISO mounting program called Gizmo Central onto my HDD
    After installation it said that it needed to restart. After it restarted I got a black screen with an A2 code. The screen will go completely black, and then it will back to the screen with the A2 code in the bottom right. It won't boot up BIOS, unless I do 1 of 2 things:
    1. power off the pc, unplug the sata cable from the HDD, power pc back on, bios and windows will boot up. I can then turn the pc off, plug the sata cable back into the HDD, and it boots up fine into windows, but if I reboot again, it goes back to that black screen with the A2.
    2. I have put in a disc into the dvd drive, and I do not get that screen. (I've been doing this as a workaround since it's much easier)
    I have tried a number of things to resolve this, but none of them have restored my computer to it's perfect working order that it was previous to installing this program.
    When I tried to uninstall that program it wasn't even on my installed programs list, so I deleted the folder it was in. This didn't resolve the issue.
    I have wiped everything off of my HDD drive. This did not resolve the issue.
    I have triple checked that my SSD is the first in the boot order. I even disabled the HDD from the HD boot order entirely. No change...
    I updated my motherboard drivers. No change.
    It's almost like for whatever reason my BIOS isn't listening to the boot order and doing my DVD drive, HDD, and then the SSD ever since I installed that Gizmo ISO mounting program.
    I set the BIOS to factory default settings. That did not fix this issue.
    I have use a windows system restore point from 2 days ago when it was working flawlessly. No change.
    I'm thinking about reinstalling Windows, but logically it doesn't make sense to do that since the error happens even if I power off/on from BIOS with the HDD plugged in, so it I'm willing to venture that it's not Windows at fault here.
    Also the computer used to boot up in like 8 seconds. It's still fast to boot up, but ever since this started to happen, it takes like 15-30 seconds for my usb mouse, and usb keyboard to register after windows starts up. It use to be immediate. My computer is so messed up right now, and I don't even know how it got like this or how to fix it. I'm pretty savvy and can follow directions well, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    What intel USB driver version do you use? There's one more thing to try, try plug the kb/ms to USB 3.0 ports except the ones under the LAN port, and check if it happens again.
    I'm glad you recommended checking Intel drivers. I typed appwiz.cpl to go to the installed programs list in windows. Found "intel USB 3.0 extensible host controller". I tried uninstalling this. It made my mouse and keyboard not work for about 1 minutes. Windows downloaded some drivers for my devices, and asked to reboot. I rebooted. Mouse/keyboard responded right away! Just incase it was a fluke I rebooted another 2 times, and each time the mouse and keyboard are immediately responsive. I'm SO glad that my PC is back to it's original working order. Thank you to you all for taking time out of your day to help me. I really appreciate it!

  • Hang or black screen with warcraft 3

    hello,
    i'm havin problems with warcraft 3, sometimes i could play long hours but it hang on me for i think 3 times now.  this hasnt happened before unitl i installed driver 1.12 and detonator 40
    the first time it happened, the screen went black, the monitor is on, it did not standby, no keys are responding, even ctrl-alt-del, so i hang, had to restart....
    second time...the same
    then the last time,it did not turn black but just stopped....could it be the drivers?
    too bad, i didnt save my game
    thanks,
    edison

    1. Extract the 1.13 driver package in a folder using Winrar.
    2. Use the device manager, select the properties bar on the "Direct memory access controller" and then choose to update driver. Select that you do not wish it to automatically install driver, and select that you want to chose which driver to install, then select have disk and point it to the nvmemctl.inf file in the folder MemCtl that is the folder where you extracted the driver package.
    3. Select any of the memory controllers there (420D), and it should install the others itself.
    4. If all is successful you should then have the following devices in the Device manager under System Devices;
    Nvidia nForce 220/415/420 Memory Controller
    Nvidia nForce 220/415/420 Memory Controller
    Nvidia nForce 415/420 Memory Controller (DDR)
    Nvidia nForce 415/420 Memory Controller (DDR)
    I hope that solves it.
    Remember that running any updates from windows update seems to change some of the driver files, and that upsets them. So after having run windows update, if the black screens reoccur reinstall the memory controllers. It might be a good idea to do anyway if you have run windows update.

  • Msi Z87-GD65 Booting Failure With eSATA Drives

    Hi Folks,
    Before I go down the (probably ill-fated) Customer Service path I thought I'd address the forum here on a little problem I'm having with my Z87-GD65.
    IN essence, if I have a hard drive connected to my eSATA port the PC won't boot.  I'm using an ICYDOCK 4 bay external enclosure (MB561US-4SB if interested).  If the drive itself is on but the HD trays are ejected then it boots.  If any of the drives are secured then it'll hang at a post-BIOS/pre-Windows screen where all I get is a blinking cursor for about 30 seconds and then it disappears to a plain black screen.  If the device is powered off then it boots.
    I've checked the BIOS with one of the HDs running and it doesn't appear within my boot list - in fact, except for one selection in the bios allowing me to disable eSATA there really isn't much I can do there.
    I've upgraded my BIOS to 1.30 from 1.00 and the process seems to move a bit further - now I get the oh-so-pretty ugly Windows logo and that's all.
    When I do actually boot the PC with the ICYDOCK off then I'm able to get into Windows normally, and turn on the ICYDOCK.  After a few seconds all 4 hard drives report in and everything's fine.
    I've been using this ICYDOCK for about  a year and a half, with 2 other motherboards (neither were an MSI) and i7 cores, and neither of them caused me any issues.  I remember that neither of those boards had the port multiplier eSATA capability so I had to buy a controller card with that capability.  I could probably dig that up and see if the problem remains.
    In case you're wondering, if it helps, I built a Msi Z87-GD65/4770 i7 - based PC with 2 internal 2TB Hard Drives, and 16gb RAM.  I already mentioned the ICYDOCK.  I used LiveUpdate to install all the latest drivers & BIOS before uninstalling it.
    I build & repair PCs for a living so I'm pretty familiar with what's going on with the system.  I figure that there must be something happening between the BIOS and Windows "handoff" of the ICYDOCK, but I'm damned if I can figure out just what.

    More information please. PSU, OS being used, etc..
    Live Update is best uninstalled. Flash UEFI/BIOS the safer way;

  • My ipad 2 turnes to black screen with the apple icon in the middle, it just hanged and i have to restart it?! so why this is happening ?! is there is an error or something i can do to prevent doing this ?!

    my  new ipad 2 turnes to black screen with the apple icon in the middle while using it or if i just left it locked for a while, it just hanged and i have to restart it?! so why this is happening ?! is there is a productio error or something i can do to prevent doing this ?!
    Appreciate responding as soon as possible.

    No, it's definitely not normal. Your User's Guide recommends a series of troubleshooting steps to go through when your iPad is misbehaving: As you're already in effect doing the first of the main steps, a Restart of your iPad, and that's not curing it, move on to the next .. a Reset.
    To do this, press and hold both the Home and the Sleep/Wake buttons for about 10-12 seconds, until the display blanks and the red Power Off slider appears. Continue holding the buttons until the slider disappears, replaced by the black screen and white Apple logo.
    This shows your iPad is starting to reboot. Release the buttons and allow the process to continue until the Lock screen appears again, then slide the slider to complete the process.

  • 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.

  • MSi z87-gd65 OC Genie and RAM frequency issues

    Hey all,
    I just built a new computer (my first build), and am quite glad with the capabilities of the machine. However, whenever I try to turn on OC Genie or bump up my ram speed to 2400 MHz(I believe this is the native speed, but the motherboard puts it down to 1333MHz) the system fails to boot, and sometimes hangs in a rebooting cycle. Eventually, the motherboard gives an error on the screen saying that the changes made have failed and was restored to default settings, and to press f1 or f2.
    I admit I am a complete novice at overclocking, and probably do not know what I did wrong. I've updated the bios, cleared cmos, and tried both bios A and B, but have got the same results. I was hoping I could get some help on this forum and learn new workarounds! Any help is greatly appreciated.
    My Build:
    i7-4770k @ stock frequency
    MSi z87-gd65
    Corsair H100i
    SeaSonic Platinum SS-860XP2 860W 80 Plus Platinum Certified

    Quote from: phantom24 on 19-October-13, 08:56:19
    Hey man, thanks for replying. The first thing I tried, before overclocking, was to enable XMP from the UFEI. When i enabled it, the board would show that memory was OC'd to 2400MHz and bumped up to 1.65 voltage. This is all shown prior to rebooting. When I would reboot the computer however, the system would fail to boot and I would get the same error saying all "overclocking failed, reset to default settings". I believe that my ram is the cause for my inability to overclock. I found out that motherboard is not compatible with it at extreme speeds. The max speed I can get out of my ram is 2133MHz with no problem whatsoever in rebooting. This is without changing the voltage of the ram( keeping it at 1.5v) . If I change the ram voltage, I'm pretty sure it would fail to boot.
    Yeah good luck with OCing and please let me know if you find anything useful. I'm afraid that this forum does not have much to offer, so you may want to try some other forums.
    Jms and Xfx are right. By default mine booted to at 1600mhz. I enabled XMP and it brought it to the rated speed of 2133mhz. I'm not trying to overclock my ram further than the rated speed. Pointless to me, considering I'm coming from a rig that had ddr2 with 800mhz. As you can see in my pic, the one with blue LEDs is the 7.5 year old build. Still going strong. Anyhow, if you do overclock, make sure you disable the XMP. That way you can eliminate another possible instability issue. I'm a member of a few forums, and I was suprised to see these forums not respond very well. For the guys who did respond, I thank you! You may also want to check out overclock.net   There's are plenty of people there and "clubs" you can be a part of. I'm finding a lot of useful information there. Most people won't get mad about noob questions unless you do like me and ask the same ones in multiple threads lol! Hop on over there and check it out. My name there is Scotty Mac.

  • MSI Z87 GD65 boot troubles

    I recently built my own  computer,  using an MSI Z87 GD65 board, and it worked fine for about 2 weeks, then suddenly my computer bluescreened, now when I power it on it no longer boots (doesn't even reach bios screen) tried resetting cmos, any ideas? :s
    - Can post further details upon request.
    Parts used:

    Hi and
    - Start with the BIOS swich. ...hows it with the second BIOS chip?
    - Testing your PSU. Is it stating ok green to black on 20/24pin connection.
    Edit: Heres video How to do it from Corsair on Youtube.
    - Take all out of your case and use only parts you need (MB, PSU, CPU and monitor)
    Hope this gets you foward! Cheers Mummy 
    Edit2: Here is color coded picture of connector if your PSU dont have color coded wires and all same color...

    I've downloaded Blue Screen Viewer (BSV) and the error name is System Thread Exception Not Handled
    BSV saying that the first one is caused by pci.sys and the second one is caused by ndis.sys.
    Also ntoskrnl.exe is involved.
    Any idea what should be the real cause?
    Also I can copy paste the log if you tell me which part of the dump log you need.

  • GS70 - Does not boot - black screen with solid white dash

    Sorry for the long post - I've been beating my head against this problem all day, filed a report ticket and really need help from anyone who has ideas.
    Yesterday evening after finally relenting and allowing the patch Tuesday updates to install on my GS70 Stealth I tried to power on my computer and it remained stuck at the MSI logo. I waited 3 hours with no success before powering it off and attempting to access the bios by hitting the delete button. The screen turned black except for one non-blinking white dash near the center of the screen. This screen also remains indefinitely and requires a hardware power off to work. I've tried all of the function key presses and recovery shortcuts to no avail.
    Eventually I tried to boot into linux via a live USB. I still could not access the bios but, to my surprise, so long as this USB is in my system, Windows happily boots. After this I tried to revert to a system restore point before the updates but that did not resolve the problem. I also tried to update the BIOS but there is no way to install BIOS updates that I know of that doesn't require accessing the old BIOS first (which I cannot do because the black screen with a white dash is still all that shows up). I tried forcing the UEFI bios to load through windows recovery settings with no luck either.
    I've sent in an RMA/Support request and hopefully MSI will repair or replace my device but I sent it in for an RMA literally less than two months ago and to be having to do it again so soon is starting to turn me off of the product. For me to insure and ship my device to MSI costs a little over $100 each time which is rapidly turning this $1600 product into an $1800 one and turning me from an MSI brand loyalist to a 'one-star-review everywhere' evangelist. Is it possible that something MSI did during the last RMA screwed up my motherboard (they replaced the disfunctional steel series keyboard with a new marginally more functional steel series keyboard)? Does MSI ever cover the shipping costs for an RMA if the RMA is a result of damage that they caused to the device? Is there anything I should do to try to avoid burning more money trying to get a luxury-priced product I've already paid for to function?

    i had similar problem myself on my first GS70 it has some sort of bios problem that it random hangs itself :/ causes OS not to boot and bios refuses to load but i managed to get my recovery USB to boot but not bios yet so i sent laptop off for repair they replaced the motherboard so i got it back then i had an faulty gpu :/ so i took it back and got money back so i bought new one some where else since than i havent had problem so this sort of problem sounds like bios firmware isnt booting propertly :/ so have you tried removing msata and HDD from laptop and then power laptop on? to see if bios gets forced on if so power it off put msata back on and so then power laptop back on and bios shall work again

  • MSI z87 gd65 no post, no code

    Hello,
    I got this problem with my msi z87 gd65 mobo. It doesn't want to post (no screen or whatsoever). It doesn't give any debug code. And it only starts up when i hold down the start button. I used a 2nd psu as the psu is the problem most of the time but that didn't fix it. Also the no debug code makes me worry about it. I did recet the cmos with the reset cmos button, and that didn't fix it. also no overclocks.
    cpu: i5 4670k
    gpu: evga gtx 770 sc acx
    ram: G-skill ripjaws 2x4gb 1866mhz
    cpu cooler: corsair H100i

    still nothing :s also if i want to shut it down i have to hold down the start button, same things happen. need to hold in start button and no post or debug code

  • 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,
    Quote from: robinvanesch on 03-October-13, 04:33:35
    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

  • 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
