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

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.

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 x79a-gd65 8d BSOD and Ram issue, Code 67
Hi,
Specs as follows:
Mobo: msi x79a-gd65 8d (Bios: latest 4.4)
CPU: 3960x
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair dominator platinum 1866MHZ (CMD16GX3M2A1866C10)
PSU: CM 1000watt
GPU: EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4GB
Mobo came back from MSI and they said there were bend pins, they fixed the bent pins. However the mobo still BSODs on stock settings and does not want to boot with 2x8Gb. It only boots with 1 stick.
I also get the code 67.
The mobo is only stable when I enable OC genie and run 1 ram module
Please help, thanks in advance!>>Clear CMOS<< and retry. If no help try the second stick in any mem slot and see if it boots in any while other stick is installed too. If not try each stick individually to check if both are working.

MSI Z87-GD65 Turned off and won't restart
This is the second time the computer shut down while it was being used and wouldn't restart. The first time was nearly 4 months ago, and the computer went unused for 4 months until I had the time and money get repaired. I brought it to the computer store to be repaired, they cleaned it with a blower and it turned on without a problem, seemingly NOTHING was wrong. A week later it has happened again! I've tried everything, disconnected all peripheral, reseated the memory, even did a CMOS reset, and it will not start. The power light is on, and even the OC light comes on, but it never starts and the CPU fan doesn't even turn on.
I tried disconnecting one of the power's as suggested @ https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=175399.0 but that didn't work either.
Tried the paper clip test and it failed, 1100 strike X power supply... It may be the power supply, but since I used a wire instead of a paper clip there's no way for me to know, I can't seem to locate a paper-clip.Have you tried it with a different power supply? It already sounds like you are thinking that the power supply might be at fault.

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?
ThanksQuote 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 -
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;

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;

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,
Quote from: TrisXD on 15-July-13, 20:12:10
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 BIOS Update
Bought this setup quite a while ago, running a 4670k on the z87 gd65 gaming board and thought about trying a bit of OCing, probably just gonna try out the OC Genie for now, but i was wondering if it would be a good idea to do a BIOS update or is that not necessary? Im still running on bios 1.3 which from what i can see on the msi site is a quite old one.

No, 1.3 is too outdated. If wanting to go for latest generation vga get the latest vga (1.B):
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive (E7845IMS_1B0.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip
Thanks Flobelix, running windows 7 but i guess the procedure is still the same, are the ME drivers the chipset drivers? i downloaded the chipset drivers for my OS from the msi site (intel_chipse_9_mb.zip) or is it the "Intel Management Engine Driver+Microsoft hotfix". -
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.

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 cleaningI 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 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.

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...

You have 3 PCI-E x16 slots (x8-x4-x4) and 4 PCI-E x1 slots.
On the other hand, your CPU is limited to 16 PCI-E lanes.
Those 3 x RB44Ge routers are PCI-E x4, so you're going to use ALL the PCI-E x16 slots for them.
With the remaining PCI-E lanes you need to be lucky ...
