MSI Z97-G55 SLI Ram problem

So I have this motherboard: MSI Z97-G55 SLI and the following ram dimm: Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM - Black (HX318C10FB/4)
The problem is that the sistem doesn't boot with that ram. I checked the ram in another sistem and it's good.
The question is what should i do? Is there any way to make the board use the ram?
Sorry for my bad english!

Yeah, I currently have a stick of 2gb from Kingmax. It's only for a couple of days till I resolve the problem. I tried to manually put the settings for the Kingston ram (I don't know if I did it correctly) but it didn't work.
Can someone tell me what should I modify in bios?

Z97-G55 SLI IRST "accelerate disk" option missing (ssd caching)

greetings, i have a Z97-G55 SLI and i am having issues with SSD caching. the BIOS is set to RAID (no arrays) and the IRST driver is 13.6.0.1002. i have a 2TB WD2003FZEX HDD with win7sp1 64 on sata port 0 and an unformatted samsung 850 series ssd on sata port 2. i want to use the samsung 850 to accelerate. when i open up IRST in windows, there is no accelerate option tab. if i open up IRST in the option rom while booting using ctrl-i, the option for accelerating is there but it is grayed out and not selectable.
why is the accelerate feature not working?
system specifications:
windows 7 sp1 64bit
HDD: WD2003FZEX (OS)
SSD samsung 830 or 850 pro (for cache) just testing with the 850 for now. i'm gonna use the 830 later.

List full spec would help a lot.
SSD acceleration came out was because years ago SSD only had like 64G. This feature actually just put the cache to the SSD. IMPOV, I don't think it would help as you expected for now. I wonder if your system is a fresh install of OS, cuz if yes, I'd suggest just install the OS to the SSD.
i edited my post to list the full spec. i want the OS on the HDD because my nephew will install tons of games that take up lots of space.

The issue is with my SSD in the M.2 slot. The first time I booted the computer and put Windows 8.1 on the SSD everything worked fine. The next day the bios could not recognize the SSD in the M.2 slot. At this point I can get the Bios to recognize the SSD but not boot from it. I've been doing some research and this is apparently a common problem with the M.2 format. I was wondering if anyone else on here has had this issue and if they knew of any fixes? Thanks

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

hi all,
the problem is that all is well connected to the ethernet (killer 2205).
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

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......

MSI K8N Plat SLI Audio Problems

i just built my system and i am wondering what to do about the onboard audio. i have a old set of speakers from gateway that include a subwoofer and 2 front speakers that are digital i believe. i plug them into the yellow spdif out coaxial hole (speaker plug dosent go in all the way) and i would get a lot of crackling and distortion so i took it out, i tried all teh other onboard audio and nothing works. i checked the digital output only option and unchecked it and nothing changes. now when i plug teh speakers in nothing works no sounds nothing. anybody else have these issues? im thinking about buying a sound card what do you guys think? ithough the soundblaster was supposed to be something great whats up with this? ive read a lot of issues regarding the onboard sound but cant seem to find ananswer.

The "distortion" as you describe it is static interference that goes through to the amplifier, due to the fact that you do not have a correct connection. If the connector does not fit, do not try to force it.
I would leave the case connectors unconnected for the moment, until you get sound through the spdif out. What type of connector is it to your speakers?
you are correct sir! i did some more research with different keywords after i posted my last post and realized that i needed a 1/8" stereo to RCA converter, so i hopped over to radio shack and purchased the little connector for 4 bucks and plugeed it in and walla. Thanks for the help though.
also to the guy with the link to the front case connections, thanks for the suggestion, i had all of my audio ports connected so that wasnt an issue, but thanks for pointing that out.

MSI z97 Gaming 9 Network problems

I just finished my first build and i used the msi z97 gaming 9 ack motherboard. After installing all drivers and everything i tried to connect to the network via wifi and ethernet, but neither worked. When using wifi, it could see the networks but wouldn't connect to any of them. Also, when i plugged in a working ethernet cord, the lights didn't even blink on the port and it didn't show up as having anything plugged in. I am running windows 8 pro 64 bit. I have no idea why it is doing this and am starting to get very frustrated by it. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. Thank you!

is the lan card enabled in bios setup and function properly inside OS? [check it in device manager]
Yes the BIOS is saying that it is turned on, and the device manager lists these under Network adapters:
Bluetooth Device (Personal Area Network)
Bluetooth Device (RFCOMM Protocol TDI)
Killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)
Killer Wireless-n/a/ac 1525 Wireless Network Adapter
Microsoft Kernel Debug Network Adapter
Also in the BIOS menu, it isn't showing the wifi adapter that came with the board. It is plugged in andscrewed onto the board and it can find networks, but can't connect. It just looks like a blank spot in the board explorer option in the BIOS. Any reason it would be doing this?

MSI K8N NEO4 SLI - RAM Detection

Hello,
I'm wondering if my motherboard is faulty or is it my video/cpu/ram that's causing my problem.
Well here's the problem. when I was doing a virus scan using norton antivirus and surfing the web my pc just shut down and restarted. But when it restarted it won't post and gives me the RAM Detection Error on the D-Bracket and the 1 beep and 1 silence and 1 beep.
I would have to clear the cmos every time it does that. I ran memtest with no errors on the ram. I've tried only using 1 stick of ram and my older ram DDR333 stick, also tried different slots, everytime clearing the cmos. With the same result. One try I had to put the DDR333 RAM in slot 2 for it to post.
When I put the DDR333 ram in it posts for abit. But when I add my DDR400 1Gb dual memory the bios still shows the DDR333 settings. After setting the ram to 2-3-3-6 and restarts it gives me the RAM detection error.
Is this due to a bad motherboard or is it my CPU or could my Video card be causing this or RAM
I don't have another CPU or Video card to see if it is those two that's causing this..
I'd RMA'd the motherboard to get it fixed, and I'm thinking of getting the Diamond Plus but before I do I'm wondering if the problem isn't due to my CPU or Video card. Would hate to buy the D. Plus and have the same problem...
Oh, My BIOS is the 9.10 that msi sent me but shows as 9.0b1 on boot up. Guessing it's a beta bios. Yes I tried the Platinum 3.8 with the same problem.
Sorry if this seems to be confusing....

Im going through the same problem, memory detection on dbracket, i´ve tried using diferent memory and stuff, i have a 3500+ here but im not sure it that would work, im gonna try it later.
anyway i wanted to know if u guys solved your problems and how u did it, cheers
you should start your own thread on this issue. also give us the amps on the 12V line for that PSU. a detailed description of your problem and your troubleshooting up to date would also be nice.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum RAM problem

My spec:
AMD64 3000+ Venice
1gb RAM Elixir
1 x Maxtor 120gb IDE
1 x Maxtor 200gb SATA
1 x Maxtor 200gb IDE
ATI Radeon x800 pro 256mb
I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard, the problem is that when I try to add in another 512mb stick the system won't even boot up. I have tried other brands and amounts but still to no avail.
I boot the system up and the monitor won't even switch on, but if I take out the 512 stick it works fine.
Any ideas?

Not quite.
Use the color codes .
If you have matched sticks in density (size) and timings (spd data) you can run dual channel.
This means having one stick in memory channel 1 ( green ) and another in memory channel2 (purple )
Theese are physically wired next to eachother on the motherboard , from cpu and upwards..
You can not do that , with that mismatched modules the cpu can't initialize it's memory controller .
So your only choice is to run two modules with single memory channel config .
Use the colorcodes to make sure you use signgle memory channel config (since you have mismatched sticks and the A64 memory controller cant run those in dual mode)
So your choice is to use either both green slots or both of the purple ones .
Place the one module with the higest cas rating (slowest) in the green slot with the lowest slot number (marked on the board) .
And the other stick on the green slot that remains .

Msi Eclipse Plus (Sli) Boot Problem !

Hi
I have a problem , but i'm not sure if it's a motherboard problem ! So i request some help to clearly identify the troubleshoot .
When i try to launch my computer i got 4 bip and message on the Debug led (on the back of the motherboard) :
- It say FF
And on the DLed 2 i have the message :
- CPU Ini.
FF means status = Power on and Initialize CPU (see in the booklet of MSi Motherboard)
All is running : CPU Fan and front fan turning; Power on Hard drive ; GTX295 Led is Green , but nothing happen . The card stay in freeze position .
I have check the PSU 1000w Corsair . GTX295 have power , Motherboard led of CPUpower is on (6 blu Led )
I have unplug all component on motherboard except PSU and still the same message and status
I have pull off the PSU and press the Cmos reset button .
I have Pull out the battery of the motherboard for 30 sec , still nothing
So i don't understand what happened . May be CPU is down or the motherboard is down i don't know if there is a solution to identify the problem
All Component are new from monday .
I apologise for my english
Thanks for helping if you got any idea

If you do pull the CPU for reseating, be sure to check carefully for socket pins damaged or bent.

MSI 68A-GD65 (G3) ram problems

My board will not boot when I add 16gb of ram. I upgraded the bios to n5. It seem when I add a stick to the to the black slot I believe it is DIMM 2 with will continuously boot loop. I have tried all of the sticks in various combinations and my system runs stable with 12 gb of ram. It just doesn't seem to work when I put a stick in that particular slot. My ram is Gskill ripjawX 4gbx4. I am running windows 7 ultimate 64 bit and I have xmp in the bios on profile 1. My ram is running at 2133 mhz. Any Ideas? Is my board screwed up?

Quote from: bignick243 on 30-January-12, 06:34:28
I don't know what the F I just did but it all works now! I put two sticks in slots 2 and 4 and it booted up just fine. Then I added a stick to slot 1 and it booted up. So then I added the final stick to slot 3 and it booted up right away. I enabled xmp and it seems to be running fine at 2133 mhz. I'm 100% certain I tried this combination yesterday and it continuously rebooted. I would like to find out the problem but I'm incredibly happy this works as I have very little time to mess with it.
Sooner or later you'll get into troubles again.
Intel Core i7 2600k has beed designed to work with 32GB DDR3-1066 or 16GB DDR3-1333.
The (stock) Max Memory Bandwidth of this processor is 21 GB/s.
In other words, 16GB DDR3-1333 in dual channel.
However, in the "real world" it works just fine with 16GB DDR3-1600 in dual channel.
But that 25.6GB max bandwidth is all this processor is able to do.
To conclude: above DDR3-1600 the performaces boost is close to ZERO.

MSI P55A-G55 + i5 760 (problem with Control Centre)

Hi guys,

Not working for me as well.
Mortego does option "Restore on AC power loss" works for you? Try to switch off your PSU on back on it and power it after 1-2 seconds. I`m really interested in if only I have this problem as support says or not. In my country my reseller refused to accept RMA because they told me that it`s bios bug and I should wait for updates. It`s frustrating that it restart my PC rather than shutdown it completely.

MSI K8T NEO-FIS2R: RAM problems

I have the motherboard K8T NEO-FIS2R with AMIBIOS 2VMS V2.0 010505.
I tried these DDR-RAM:
DDR-RAM 512MB PC400 CL3 Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512
DDR-RAM 512MB PC400 CL3 Samsung
but the motherboard recognizes only 256 MB for both. The RAM are good: I tried them in an other pc!
Now I have installed an A-DATA ram 256 MB and the motherboard recognizes 256 MB!
Do you think that my motherboard is defective?
Thank you in advance.
P.S. I'm sorry for my bad english.

No the memory controller is onboard the CPU so in any case the MB is not defective. However the CPU revision may hold you back on some RAM especially if you mix make and model RAM on the same channel. A socket 754 CPU only has one channel so all RAM must be matched to work properly.
If those Sticks can only be seen as a wrong value when used by themselves it is likely that either they have errors or the timings in Bios are improperly set to azllow them to work. In this case you can normally find out what is going on by running memtest86. If you get errors on test 5 or 7 then you have timgs timed improperly and any other errors would show bad RAM.
Another case is not having enough power for everything to work properly together. Usually this happens when you don't have enough 12v amps for these newer rigs.
Post complete specs and test results and maybe we can help you further.
