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 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.

    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.

  • 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 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?

    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.
    Quote from: sebastianmancipe on 24-April-15, 04:12:03
    ¿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?

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

    Does this happen only when playing FIFA 15?
    Do you have Sound Blaster Cinema installed?
    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.

  • Msi z97 gaming 5 bios update help

    Hello I recently purchased the msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard. It was working fine it came with bios version 1.0 and I wanted to update it. I downloaded the latest 1.5 bios from msi website copied to usb flash drive and flashed it using mflash. Computer powers on but black screen wont do nothing. I cleared cmos and battery and still nothing so I am pretty sure its bricked. I am going to store to exchange it for another one but I want to be able to safely update the bios without bricking again. I usually dont update bios unless needed but i need at least 1.2 bios to fully support the devils canyon cpu. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I read about the usb flashing tool in forum but also read that bios+me need to be flashed and I don't know if that program is up to date and will flash both files? I really appreciate it if someone helped thanks in advance.

    Also does anyone know if it is dangerous to update the bios with a 4690k devils canyon cpu since it is not officially supported until 1.2? Is that why my first bios flash was bricked? I would hate to go and borrow another cpu just to update the bios but if I have to I will. Sorry for all the questions but I need to get my bios updated and I will not update it until I am sure of all these things. Thanks to anyone who answers these questions.

  • Crash by gaming with MSI z97 Gaming 9 AC/ MSI 980GTX

    Dear MSI Form
    The last couple of weeks I have a very bad crash,
    This is my system:
    Windows 8.1 64
    Mother board: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
    GPU: MSI GTX 980
    CPU: Intel core i7 4790K 4 GHz
    CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Nepton 240M
    Memory: 16GB 4x4 Corsair vengeance pro
    Hard disk: 2 X 1TB 1 X 1TB SSD
    Power supply: Be quiet! Power Zone 650W
    Case: Cooler Master CM Storm Trooper Window
    Fans: 9X Be quiet! Shadow wings + Fan controller
    I use my pc mostly for gaming,
    I bought en build my pc on September 2015 but now and then I get a very bad crash, the crash shuts down my pc (no blue screen / no Error) just a black screen with a pc that won’t respond on anything. The lights are on at my motherboard cpu cooler and GPU, but no respond. To turn my pc on again I have to shut down the main power switch. After 10 seconds I can start up my pc again.
    I get the following windows event: id 41 kernel power
    Scenario:
    This began when I played Dragon age 3 in December, I got the crash twice in like 100 hours. (not a big deal) than I got the same crash once when I played GTA V with 60 hours more or less. But now when I playing the Witcher 3 wild hunt I get it every 5 minutes.
    What did I try to fix it but won’t work:
    - Memtest run x10 no error
    - Drivers up to date
    - The temps under full load are great CPU they won’t go over 51 degrease / GPU 68 degrees / the rest won’t go over 45 degrees.
    - I got no virus.
    - Everything is connected just fine.
    I hope you guys can help me out.
    Kind regards,
    Tijs Dragtsma from the Netherlands

    May be your PSU being too weak or going bad (I doubt though). Although you have 9 fans.. maybe try disconnecting case fans and leave only CPU cooler ones to work?

    Recheck your WiFi Bluetooth expansion module connection on the board.
    Recheck your MB mounting in the case, i.e. errant standoffs. Perhaps test the board outside the case on a non conductive surface to ensure no potential short exists. Then retest with the WiFi plugged in.
