MSI Z97 Gaming 3 PCI slots problem

I have last one problem with pci slots asmedia on mb. In one of the slots installed sound card ASUS Xonar D2/PM, and after installation driver, getting settings to work with sound system 5.1, some times on very first second of start the music track, in speakers i hear one high "click", and same has been when i rewinding music tracks! I tested this sound card on another motherboard old P45 intel before, but worked pretty fine.
Sorry, my english is no good!
Maybe this problem with compatible?

Are you able to try unplug all the 5.1 audio jack and plug one back each time to see which one has the problem?
Yes of course
Quote from: JLio01 on 08-May-15, 12:49:34
Do you have Sound Blaster Cinema installed?
No
It's no card problem, this program on controller or program with mb!
On another mb, i have pretty fine normally sound without "click"!

MSI Z97 Gaming 7 power up problem

Hi
Just build a new PC with Z97 Gaming 7, but when powering up it lighten up and the debug led is runing through a lot of numbers and then it powers down. It takes only a few seconds.
I have measured the voltage on pin JPWR1 an JPWR2 and all the levels are correct.
I have cunsulted the manual for levels on the V-Check connector but I can't find any.
I have measured the voltage on that connector and they are as follows:
Pin1 - VCCIN =1.765V
Pin2 - DDR =1.5V
Pin3 - Core = 0.75V
Pin4 - GFX = 0V
Pin5 - Ring = 0.76V
Pin6 - C_SA =0.9V
I have tried to unplug all the connectors (SSD, HDD, DVD, Fan's etc.) one at a time with no result.
I have tried to set RAM in different positions (got two blocks of 8Gb).
1. Dimm1 and Dimm2
2. Dimm1 and Dimm3
3. Dimm2 and Dimm4
4. Dimm1 (only one block and tried both seperate)
Same result
I took the graphic card out and the WiFi PCIe card - same result.
I took the JPWR2 power plug out and then it didn't power down but of course the CPU is not running then.
Hope someone can help me, please

Z97 Gaming 5 PCIe slots empty?

New build and mobo has never detected any graphics cards. I have flashed the bios and now have latest versions of bios (1.9) and me (9.1.25.1005), cleared CMOS and reset bios defaults but still no joy, PCIe slots still show as empty.
Anyone else had this issue?

have you done this? if yes what are the results?

have you attached all power cables to the video card?
and have you connected monitor cable to it?

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
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......

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!

Quote from: Svet on 23-February-15, 19:15:40
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 GTX980 Gaming sometimes not recognized by MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC

I have been experiencing a very odd problem with my new hardware.
Hardware
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
CPU-cooler: Scythe Mugen 4
RAM: G.Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH
Videocard: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB GAMING 4G
PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold
SSD: Crucial M550 2,5" 1TB
Monitor#1: LG 34UM95-P
Monitor #2: Eizo Foris FG2421
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Issue description
The thing is that with 2 monitors connected the videocard is not recognized on a cold boot, but boots perfectly most of the time after a restart. In some cases a restart doesn't do the trick. I have even seen a couple of times that the monitor shows that windows starts and then the monitor loses the signal from the videocard before I can see the desktop (rare). With just 1 monitor attached the videocard is recognized. Als the IGP works fine, it's just the videocard that doesn't seem to be recognized when 2 monitors are connected (all combinations of DP, HDMI and DVI). When the computer has booted after one or more restarts and the videocard is recognized the computer works flawlessly, no problems whatever I do with it (desktop work, stressing hardware, playing games, etc.). Not a single sign of instability.
It's just the cold boot and sometimes the soft boot or restart that causes the videocard to not being recognized with 2 monitors connected.
What makes it really weird to me is that when the computer goes into sleep mode I can wake it up normally within say 10 minutes. But if I wait for let's say an hour the videocard is not transmitting a signal through the videocard.
When IGP is enabled the computer boots and windows loads normally (I hear the sound of the Windows login), although the monitors stay black when connected to the videocard. Then switching the connectors from the videocard to the motherboard shows me a normal Windows login screen, but the videocard is not visible in the device list. When the IGP is disabled to bootup sequence just hangs until a restart works and the computer boots normally with the videocard getting recognized and working properly.
Click sounds
I noticed the motherboard makes 4 click sounds when booting, like relays flipping. I think it has to to with distributing power to al the components, since it looks like components respond to the click by turning led lights on. But I have to say I've never come across a motherboard before that makes click sounds. Is this normal?
Tried fixes
- Replaced the RAM with 100% working RAM from my other computer (Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9) -> problem persists
- Disabed XMP -> problem persists
- Replaced the PSU with another one (Cooler Master V550 Semi-Modular) -> problem persists
- Reinstalled the videocard physically -> problem persists
- Tried several combinations of connecting the 2 monitors to the videocard (all DP ports, HDMI and DVI) -> problem persists
- Replaced the videocard with a MSI GTX970 Gaming (connected with 1xDP and 1xHDMI) -> problem persists
Conclusions so far
The cause can be found in the videocard or motherboard (probably BIOS issue).
Who can shed some light on this issue?

Quote from: JLio01 on 14-November-14, 17:02:39
Try all PCIE slots no luck? Does the black screen always happen on one certain monitor or both?
I tried both the first and the second PCIe slot. No difference except for the fact that in the second slot the card only works at x8 bandwidth.
Quote from: jotan.va on 24-November-14, 18:05:51
BTW - Did anybody try to remove the wifi module from the board and then test?
I didn't install the wifi module in the first place.
UPDATE
I returned the motherboard to the webshop I bought it from and sent my cpu, ram, psu and videocard (GTX980) with it so they could test it. They found out that the videocard is the problem. So now I have to send the videocard to the webshop it bought that from. However, I am suspecting that it's just a VBIOS problem and not some fault in the hardware itself. On the other hand, it would be very strange that MSI would release a videocard that cannot work with one of their own top motherboards, wouldn't it?

DIMM 1/2 stopped working on MSI Z97 Gaming 5, help!

Hello again!
Today I was trying out a different cooler for my i7 4790K, I mounted it and everything worked fine, but results were bad, so I decided to mount previous cooler again...
And here were the problem starts. After I mounted everything back (exactly following guide like before, thermal paste etc all done) my PC would not start the system nor BIOS.
I wondered what could cause it, so just to check a possibility, I unplugged one RAM module from DIMM 2 (they used to work in dual-channel at 2/4 DIMMs) and it suddenly started BIOS and system up normally.
Following this tip, I unmounted cooler's fan, because it covers DIMM 1 to check if it would work, and doesn't matter what memory I plug in DIMM 1 or 2, it won't work Doesn't work with any combination, so I can't actually use dual-channel right now, as only DIMM 3 and 4 work at the moment (both or alone). Any module plugged in 1/2 slots doesn't work.
All I see is that temperature monitor on my MSI Z97 Gaming 5 shows 10-55, 10-55 all the time, jumpy temps, everything works, but nothing loads. Just black screen, nothing. I work with 3/4 slots in single channel right now.
What the hell could happen? Please help me with this!
Edit: Is that possible I could move a CPU from a proper pin so it doesn't connect properly with DIMM 1 and 2? My cooler moved a bit before I mounted it properly. That's only thing that comes to my mind right now.

Microphone issue with MSI Z97 GAMING 5

Hi there!.
I have just set up my new computer and i have problems with my microphone. My mainboard is a "MSI Z97 GAMING 5" and my box: NOX Coolbay SX.
I have installed the drivers from disk and tryed also searching drivers on the web of MSI. I can hear with my speakers with no problems, same with my headset. But there is no way to use my microphone. I put it in the front panel, then i checked the control panel - sound and Windows tell me that the microphone is connected, but dont work. if i put it in the back panel, the realtek HD administrator tell me that something is connected in the microphone slot but WIndows dont detect it.
in the BIOS, the HD Audio is ENABLED. I dont have any idea about what to do now. I have search on this forum but i havent seen this same issue. Can you help me?
Thanks and sorry about my english.

MSI Z97 MPOWER MAX AC vs MSI Z97 GAMING 9 AC

I can't decide which motherboard to purchase.
MSI Z97 MPOWER MAX AC = 20 Phase, 1x Intel I218-V Gigabit LAN controller
MSI Z97 GAMING 9 AC = 16 Phase, 1x Killer E2205 Gigabit LAN controller
I'll be gaming, and having a play with overclocking, which is the best do you reckon, they seem practically the same otherwise?
Which one would you choose?

Cheers for the replies guys, I appreciate everyones opinions.
Been digging for some more info...

MSI Also Launches its Z97 Gaming Series / Z97 OC Series Motherboards
The Z97 MPower MAX AC is a notch below the Z97 XPower AC. It offers a milder 12-phase VRM to power the CPU, but one that draws power from a combination of 8-pin EPS and 4-pin CPU power connectors, and featuring a coolant channel through the VRM heatsinks. There's no PCIe bridge chip, but the board still offers three PCIe 3.0 x16 slots (x8/x4/x4 when all three are populated). Storage connectivity on this board includes eight SATA 6 Gb/s, and one M.2 slot. The rest of its connectivity includes ten USB 3.0 ports, 802.11 ac WLAN, Bluetooth 4.0, gigabit Ethernet, and AudioBoost audio with headphones amp and ground-layer isolation. The Z97 MPower MAX is the most "affordable" of the lot, at under $200. Its feature-set is more or less identical to that of the Z97 MPower MAX AC, except it lacks 802.11 ac WLAN, Bluetooth 4.0, liquid-cooled VRM heatsinks, and onboard OC fine-tuning buttons.
The Z97 Gaming 9 draws power from a combination of 24-pin ATX, 8-pin EPS connectors, and uses a 16-phase VRM to condition power for the CPU, which is wired to four DDR3 DIMM slots, and three PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots (x8/x4/x4 when all three are populated, x8/x8/x0 when two are, and x16/x0/x0 when one is. 3-way SLI and CrossFire are supported. An EMI shield covers the rear-panel I/O, while another shields the entire onboard audio circuitry, and the NICs. Audio is care of a 100+ dBA SNR DAC, which an external headphone amp circuit, ground-layer isolation, audio-grade capacitors, and EMI shielding. Wired connectivity is handled by Broadcom's newer Killer E2205 gigabit NIC. Wireless connectivity is handled by an Intel-made chipset that offers 802.11 ac WLAN, and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. Storage connectivity is devoid of SATA-Express, but features eight SATA 6 Gb/s, and an M.2 slot. Overclocking features include voltage measurement points, and POST LED display. Expect this one to go for over US $200.
The Z97 Gaming 7 and Z97 Gaming GD65 are two different beasts, although they're in the same price bracket (around $180). The Gaming 7 features an all-PCIe expansion area with modern M.2 slot, while the GD65 features dated mSATA 6 Gb/s. The rest of their feature-sets are identical, even if their PCBs are not. You get a 12-phase CPU VRM, three PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slots (x8/x4/x4 when all are populated), eight SATA 6 Gb/s ports, AudioBoost audio, and Killer E2200 NIC. The story repeats itself with the Z97 Gaming 5 and Z97-G45 Gaming.
Barring the milder 8-phase CPU VRM, both are similar in features to the more expensive Gaming 7 and GD65, with the exception of two fewer SATA 6 Gb/s ports. At the entry level are the Z97 Gaming 3 and Z97-G43 Gaming. The two are designed for gaming builds with no more than two graphics cards, and offer some legacy PCI slots. The two offer AudioBoost and Killer E2200, but skimp out on the CPU VRM, featuring just a 6-phase one. Storage connectivity is consistent with those of the Gaming 5 and G45.

Z97 Gaming 7 First build problems

First here's my build:
Phantechs Pro Full Tower Case
MSI Z97 Gaming 7 Motherboard
Intel i7-4790K Processor
Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 2400MHZ PC3 19200 Desktop Memory
Intel 120GB SSD, Windows 8.1 Pro
MSI Geforce GTX 970 Gaming 4GB Graphics Card
EVGA SuperNova 750G1 750w 80+ Gold Haswell Certified PSU
Corsair H100i CPU Cooler
I first built the system in feb. 2015 and i set it up in bios for raid 0 with 2 samsung 850 pro's 250gb for O.S. and had win 8.1 features off, fast boot off and installed windows then updated graphics driver and all motherboard drivers and successfully updated bios to latest i believe 1.7, then i installed all my games and rendering software and went through each to set up, everything seems fine for a few days of gaming and video rendering with i think very cool cpu temps of 28-46 degrees C, after about 3 days of no signs of problems the sytem just goes blank! Complete shutdown! with no signs of life whatsoever! I unplug the power and reset cmos with nothing, i take everything out the case and place MB on its box and just use psu one stick memory in slot one or a1 and nothing but board graphics to monitor and it would never do anything so i rma'd the mb, when the replacement arrived i did a out of system post testing on box with everything passing to post fine, so i installed into pc case only thing different this time around i used a intel ssd in ACHI mode with win 8.1 Pro features on and fast boot because i read up on the samsung ssd drives having compatibility issues with some newer mb's so once all together i installed windows again thank god for flash drives because my 8.1 pro will install in bout 5 minutes from usb! ok installed and updated just as before and everything seems fine with temps no errors anywhere! after bout 2 days it just shutdown again with nothing happening like no lights on board or any sign of power so i took psu out and done a power fan on test and was good! I took mb out and box test everything i possibly could to get life out of it but none! Once again rma'd it! Ok so then i was in a two week turnaround with that mb so i figured what the heck i'll order from good ol amazon a new mb but i wanted to see if it was my particular type mb so i ordered a z97 pc mate with making sure all componets was on its compatiblity list! once arrived done exactly as my 2nd time with the same results, after a few days of on and off and rendering and gaming with cool temps it just went blank, no power! any resetting cmos or changing sticks of memory or anything would change it! I really need ome advise! I about ready to take everything to my burn barrell out back!

So.. Memory could cause issue with boot but not really killing whole thing. I had motherboard a while ago that RAM slot got burnt. But I was able to boot fine when I have put the RAM stick into other slot so RAM in your case should not kill whole thing, especially if you havent populated all slots. CPU.. very rare to be the issue but may happen. Case.. yes might be shortening motherboard killing it by the end. So when you get new part(s), run your system on motherboard box for few days. If nothing happens then you can take risk of placing it into the case.. but not sure if its worth the risk if it is indeed a case?
PC tech without equipment to test(at least PSU and RAM)? Weird.

After trying all these things, the system is still hanging in A2 Error
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Quote from: pandaz on 24-April-15, 13:03:29
You could try your device 1 by 1 and see which one of it is causing the A2 issue
about this i already suggested the same:
Quote from: Svet on 23-April-15, 21:42:28
connected them one by one, and see which is causing this hang eventually
he said any one of them alone is caused this A2 when its connected:
Quote from: sebastianmancipe on 23-April-15, 21:49:10
Already perform this test with any 3 devices, SSD, HDD or DVD's the same.
Curiously hangs on A2 code when first turned not when restarted.

¿this version of BIOS where it came from? It is official? because they have not posted on the official website of the Z97 Gaming 7? as had understood the latest BIOS for this motherboard is the 1.90
its official, but beta bios and newer than your current.
try all other things 1st that people suggested you, leave bios flashing as last option

MSI Z97 Gaming 7 - USB Device Over Current

Hi everyone,
I just made my first gaming PC, using an MSI Z97 Gaming 7. Everything went well, all the wires are connected correctly, but when I boot the PC, and try the setup (by typing the F1 button), this message appears:
USB device over current status detected
and the PC shuts down after 15 seconds.
I tried to unplug the USBs ports of the Case, tried to unplug the battery for 15 seconds, tried to boot again but the problem was still there. I also inspected all the USB ports, and I don't see anything strange.
Is it possible that the mainboard is faulty? Is there anything I can do about it?
These are the specs, if they are usefull:
MSI Z97 Gaming 7
Intel i5-4460 @3.20
Gigabyte GTX 970
PSU XFX 650W XXX Edition
RAM 8GB HyperX Predator
1TB WD Black
256GB HyperX SSD
CM Hyper T4
I hope someone can help me

sounds like something is shorted,
USB ports damaged?
have you tried rear USB ports and different USB ports?

have you unpluged mouse and keyboard too? assume they are USB one too
else take out mainboard out of PC case and place it over non conductive surface, like wooden table
then retest
and do you have a different PSU to try too?

MSI z97 gaming 7 , the computer hangs tightly

Hello ! MSI z97 gaming 7 , the computer hangs tightly. all USB are switched off, and on the motherboard the mistake 25 is highlighted. The image on the monitor too hangs. In what reason? What the mistake 25 means ? When scanning on errors of RAM by means of memtest86+ the computer also hangs, only reset helps

I doubt this PSU even supports Haswell? Try something from quality range (Corsair, Seasonic, Antec etc.) and see if it works then.

I'm sure you can find a software called "Xear....(sor I forgot)" in your computer if you had installed the cmedia driver. And there's a button shows ASIO, then you can switch audio bit depth there, can try that switch to 16 and see what happens next.
