MSI Z87-GD65 Random BSODs

Hi everyone,
First of all here's my rig:
Intel i7 4770K @ stock clock + CM hyper 212evo
MSI z87-gd65 mobo
16GB GSkill 1866MHz RAM (4x4)
Sapphire Radeon 7870OC
120GB Samsung EVO SSD
1 TB WD Caviar Black + 1 TB Seagate + 1 TB Samsung HDDs
Thermaltake Toughpower 750W psu
Carbide 400R case + couple of case fans
Win7 x64 Ultimate
Been using this system for a while but just two days ago I had my first BSOD. And today the second one. I was just idling on desktop.
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.
Looking forward to hear from you guys. Thank you
Best

MSI Z87-GD65 random led code?

i just built a new PC using the MSI Z87-GD65 motherboard and usually the LED reads A0 which apparently is totally normal and all is well, but today randomly i noticed that the code was 03 and my PC was idle. none of my components are overclocked currently. i updated bios to v 1.8 i believe (w/e the latest one was as of 12/22/13). The only thing in the bios i changed at all was the ram from 1600 default to 1866 because that is the ram speed i purchased.
I restarted my PC and again the LED is at A0 (normal) and hasn't been 03 since. just wondering what "power on north bridge initialization" means anyways? which is what the 03 code means i think according to the manual that came with my MB purchase.

0x03 North Bridge initialization before microcode loading
Something probably had to reset itself. Since there is no NB on these new platforms, I can only guess something to do with the chipset. Did you re-install the very newest ME driver after the flash? After a flash, it is recommended that the PSU power cord should be disconnected, the battery removed for awhile, and a CMOS clear performed and settings reset.
If all is normal now, no real need to do anything further at this point in time.

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

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

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

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;

Recommend to download drivers and utilities from the MSI Websites and install manually.

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 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

MSI Z87-GD65 System. Slower Download speeds since upgrade.

I've recently upgraded my PC to an MSI Z87-GD65/i5-4670K based system from an Core 2 Quad, Win 7 64x setup.
I use Usenet frequently and since upgrading i seem to have lost around 1000KB/s in download speed when maxing out my line.
Before, i used to get around 9140KB/s max download using the onboard lan port on a Gigabyte P45 based motherboard. Port on old board was a Realtek 8111C Gigabyte chip.
Now i get around 8200KB/s max download using the onboard lan port on my MSI Z87-GD65 motherboard which is the Killer E2205 chip.
I'm using the latest Lan drivers for my chip and have tried older ones but come up with the same result.
Is there an obvious reason behind this speed loss? What i'm wondering is does Windows 8.1 constantly use the network to keep the app tiles updated and if so would it account for 1000KB/s of missing speed. If so, is there a way of stopping it using the network when I'm downloading stuff?
I don't think the speed difference is due to the different chipsets because i get the same speeds using various speed tests that i did before. Also i know its not a massive amount of speed loss (it's equivalent to 8Mbps) but its annoying me.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your reply.
My specs are as follows:-
i5-4670k
MSI Z87- GD65
16gb Crucial Elite 1866 using X.M.P
250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD
MSI GTX770 2GB
Corsair HX850w PSU
Windows 8.1 Pro
I have no Wifi card or software installed so i'm just using the onboard ethernet.
Current download speeds shown in Speedtest.net is 74 Down 19 Up, however the Usenet speed i'm getting is around 64 Down (8200KB/s). Difference of 10Mbps. Ive checked settings on the Usenet provider side and they are correct.

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 - 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 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.
