Hi all. I've just registered after receiving a response from MSI Support informing to post this issue here.
I woke up today to find my newly built PC not switching on. It only turns on for a sec and switches off. I checked all the components to find the cause to find the cause. I found the motherboard where the error display code is and found this weird markings.
I have attached a photo showing the problem.
Please help.
Update:
The PC now starts and work but I am still worried this is going to cause problems to my other components. Motherboard is still in its early life. Bought in December and finished the build last week.

Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

So you got it working ? What did you change?
How old is that power supply? In theory that PSU is sufficient, however if it's been around the block and after a couple of years, PSU performance deteriorates and that could cause failed starts. The reason for asking is that the VX series manufacture was discontinued quite some time ago.

Corsair has not confirmed that the VX series will be fully compatible with Haswell as it is no longer in production. It may or may not work.

MSI Z87M Gaming (Usb problem)

Hello,
In Device Manager i see "Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller) is not working. Every USB device i own works with the new motherboard, except my Razor onza (360 controller) that is wired. I tried installing the driver from Microsoft, i also tried troubleshooting, but nothing works. I have downloaded the Intel USB 3.0 driver from the MSI site for my MOBO and now i'm wondering if there is something i'm missing.
I really need some help on this one..
Cheers!

updater your BIOS to the latest version 1.B:

When flashing use M-Flash BIOS+ME update
when flash is done, do a >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed
then retest

MSI x99s Gaming 7 problem

MSI Z87m Gaming will not launch Possible BIOS issue?

Hi all,
I have been looking over the internet for the past 2hrs trying to source and solution to my MOBO problem, but have been unsuccessful.
I ran MSI Live updater and did a total install. While it was updating I was playing Battle Field, Live updater appeared to alt tabbed to approve a step, as I clicked ok my computer flickered between desktop and Battle Field then froze.
I then restarted my computer but neither of the monitors responded. The MOBO powers on for 30sec then it restarted itself, with the monitor not responding to any of it.
I have unplugged my Video card and plug the HDMI cable into the MOBO directly still no luck.
I removed the CMOS battery and power supply cable for 30mins in an attempt to fix this probably, unfortunately still no luck.
After looking online I think it may be a MOBO Bios error related to Live update program, but I have no idea how to fix this problem.

Live Update also updates bios if set to update everything. While it is already risky to flash bios in Windows when it works without other software being used running a game meanwhile is board suicide. The update therefor failed in the process and bricked your board. As it does not offer a backup bios it is now dead and requires hardware (SPI flash programming device) to be restored. That takes MSI or a pc-shop. Else you can only rma the board.

Powering up MSI G41TM-E43 board problem

I created your own thread rather than your hijacking the other.
Please post a complete list of your components. Post the amps on the +12V rail(or rails if split), brand, and model of both PSUs that you have tried.
Also post an accurate description of what you've tried and what happens.

MSI Z97 Gaming 3 problems with ram

Sorry for my bad english. I have only one bank of ram 4GB Kingston Fury 1866MHz and some problems with it. When it's installed on DIMM1, in UEFI BIOS, in Windows 8.1 Pro x64, aida64, cpuz, ram saw as DIMM3! If it's installed DIMM2 saw as DIMM4, or installed DIMM3 saw as DIMM1! What's that? What kind of problem on my motherboard?
Fresh BIOS version 2.6 installed.

To your signature.

And last one if i changed OC ram settings to 2133MHz or 2200, 1.65v., and CL10 Performance preset.
No much difference with stock preset.
You can only compare same software results, each software give slight different results.

have you tried with 1 memory stick only in 1st DIMM near to CPU socket?

Can anyone share a step by step instruction on how to use M-flash?MSI 970 Gaming

I've been researching online and alot of the information regarding on how to do this are really inconsistent and outdated. even the video shown here stops at the end and doesn't explain what you need to do once u get back into the bios. I've also pinged MSI tech support and they are very vague and sound speculative in their answers. HELP! this is for an MSI 970 gaming board.

procedure same as the Xpower video.
1. Put the bios file in the root folder of your USB pen drive
2. Go to bios --> Mflash --> Select one file to update bios
The system will then start to flash the bios.
3. After flash success then just remember to go to bios and press F6 then F10
Note: there is always risk in updating bios, if you don't encounter any issues at all then there's no need to update your bios

Now to problem i have.
So next i did (dumb me hehe) i try OC my CPU with All-suit II from ASUS to OC cpu extreme mode which stress test untill stable clock is found.
Got a crash bluescreen and then after few attemps stable 4.3.
Then did new benchmark and my score was alot lower and nomatter what i try my 290x did not pass 60fps any more and score dropped to 2100?

My questions is how can o solve this problem it seems my motherbaord don't reconize my videocard anymore?

MSI Z97 Gaming 9 ACK problem with wifi (lag spike)

hi all,

while on wifi I have many lag spike when i play online game.
I got a laptop with similar wifi card (killer 1202) and all went good!!
so why with killer 1525 on desktop i got this lag spike? its very bad.
the network driver is the newset
my system:
windows 7 64bit

I'd be more for RMA'ing the board.
But personally, I'm staying away from Killer Network products from now on. They are buggy and do not work very well when they don't work. Sometimes they don't work at all. Check back through these forums, and one of the biggest issues with any of the boards and/or laptops is always the Killer Networks NIC's. And there is no simple and easy fix for many of the issues.
If it was me, I'd buy a nice wireless card and use that instead. Or do the Intel mod you posted about.
I won't say that the Killer Networks device SHOULD work, but time and time again they prove to not work. In that case, I'd replace it with something that will and move on. A $40 wireless card to not spend days or weeks trying to fix the problem is money well spent in my opinion.
now im going with powerlink and all went good, but as all know, powerlink after 2 years will broke and need to replace..... but online game with eth is always better.
So im tihink to resend to AMAZON and ask for refund and ill rebuy a gaming 7 without wifi this change refund me a good 100 euro......

Unobxing MSI's Z87M Gaming MATX Motherboard

Another inclusion in MSI Gaming Segment is this Micro-ATX Z87M Gaming motherboard .This is the first gaming MATX from MSI and is packed with great features with affordable price.
Starting with the packaging, you have the Black and Red color theme with the Dragoon Army Emblem. You can also see on the upper right portion of the box is the recommendation from the popular professional gaming team Fnatic. MSI collaborated with them to fine tune their motherboards for the Gamer’s needs.
At the other side of the box, main features of the board are breakdown and briefly explained. Basic specifications are also stated
•CPU Support: 4th Gen Intel Core / Pentium / Celeron processors
•CPU Socket: LGA 1150
•Chipset: Intel Z87 Express Chipset
•Graphics Interface: 2x PCIE 3.0x16 Slots with 4th Gen Intel Core Processors
•Display Interface: DisplayPort, 2x HMI
•Memory Support: 4 DIMMS, Dual Channel (DDR3-3000 (OC)
•Expansion Slots: 2x PCIE Slots
•SATA/eSATA: 6x SATA 6Gb/s + 2x eSATA 6Gb/s
•SATA RAID: RAID 0, 1, 5, 10
•USB Ports: 8x USB 3.0 + 6x USB 2.0
•LAN: Killer E2205 Gigabit Ethernet
•Audio:8-channel (7.1)HD Audio
Here we have the bundled accessories of the package.
•User Manuals and Quick Guide
•Utility and Driver Disc
•SATA Cables
•IO Back Plate
•Quick Connect Front Panel Connectors
•MSI Gaming Door Hanger
•MSI Gaming Dragon Case Badge
The board’s layout is clean and thoroughly planned. Military Class 4 Components are all over the place making the board efficient, stable and sturdy. The heatsinks on top is a combination of ceramic, flat heatpipe and aluminum while the bottom heatsink is made up of aluminum and a MSI label with white LED. There is also no mSATA port for this model as it is limited in space.
On the upper right corner of the board are the OC Genie (Automatic Overclock) Button, Power and Reset Buttons and debug/temperature LED indicator.
As you can see the Z87M Gaming is capable of doing Multi-Graphic Card configurations, either be it SLI or AMD Crossfire.
Next we move on with the Audio boost technology of the board. It utilizes the Realtek ALC1150 audio chip, 0PA1652 amplifier and Audio capacitors to give the user the best audio experience. The Audio Boost label you see there actually lits up and serves an EMI shield for the ALC1150. MSI also isolated this part of the PCB from the rest to have the cleanest signal and crystal clear audio output to the Gold Plated Audio ports.
See the transparent lining trace on the PCB? Underneath them are white LED lights which emit a glow effect when the board is up and running.
SATA ports are bended for better cable management and you don’t have to worry of long video cards that might hit the SATA cables.
Handful of connectivity options you have here for the Z87M Gaming
• PS2 Combo port which automatically detects if a mice or keyboard is connected
• 2x USB 2.0 Ports and 6x USB 3.0 Ports
• Clear CMOS Button
•Optical SPDIF Audio Port
• Killer E2205 Gigabit LAN Port
• 2x Red eSATA Ports
• Display Port and 2x HDMI Ports
• 8 Channel HD Audio Ports
That’s it for the unboxing and let the Games Begin!!!

mine is 40-41c, something is wrong and i got same motherboard
In fact he is another overclocker with unstable system and high TMPIN3/PECI temps:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=181499.0
"btw whats the safe temp for TMPIN3? under load it goes 76c"
Quote from: Speancer
And then you said that sensor is close to CPU so temps will be simillar to core/package temperatures. Well, if it is I guess it's normal. Hard to keep that CPU running under 70 degrees though. Under normal use like games or archivization in WinRAR temps never go so high, only in torture test.
Is that dangerous for the motherboard if temperatures are too high? Could it get damaged? I mean temperatures like 80+ degrees.
What's your Core / TMPIN3 / PECI temps with the CPU running at stock settings (4 GHz)?
What's your Core / TMPIN3 / PECI temps with the CPU running in Turbo mode (4.4 GHz)?
If they are OK, you don't have any issue.
If you want to overclock, please use the proper forum section: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?board=27.0
I don't offer support for this kind of activities.
