New PC on MSI X99S Mpower frezzes

Hi,
My brand new PC assembled on MSI X99S Mpower board is randomly freezing very often. Sometimes 5 minutes after start and sometimes after few hours. Even when CPU is not in stress (only internet browser launched). It's freezing when it's overclocked and on default settings. I've tried to remove one RAM memory and replace to another but it's still freezing. I am really confused because I can't figure it out what is the source of a problem.
My setup:
MSI X99S Mpower
i-7 5820K
Crucial ballistix sport 2x8gb
BeQuiet dark rock pro 3
BeQuiet PURE POWER L8 | 530W CM
boot SSD Kingston 120gb (M.2)
Graphic MSI Geforce GT790
Windows 8.1 64bit
Bios M.6

What's your graphic card? I googled it but didn't get GT790? And what graphic driver you use?
Sorry my mistake it's MSI Nvidia GT730
Quote from: darkhawk on 22-May-15, 05:12:45
Do you have a different video card to see if that really is the problem?
Unfortunatelly I don't have ony other graphic but will ask today some guys at work
I found some similar problems on various sites

MSI X99S MPOWER won't boot (Debug 00) after installing Transcend 256 M.2 SSD

Hey all, as the subject suggests I bought a new MSI X99S Mpower mobo. I put together a new system with it without any problems using my old SSD. I received a new M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) once I installed it the system would no longer boot. I removed the M.2 SSD and the unit will now still not boot. I power on and the LED just displays 00.

what bios version you are using?
can you list the exact M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) mode/part number?

MSI x99s MPower: who is selling it?

I guess the subject says it all. I'm looking online but can't find the x99s Mpower for sale anywhere. Any ideas if, when, and where it is for sale?

Yeah, I got my eye on this one two. I already own a Haswell based system so I don't need to upgrade now. But, my nephew is wanting to buy the guts of my system (motherboard, memory, CPU) to replace the older components in his system. He knows he can get the stuff from me relatively cheap.
If I can talk him into waiting after the new year starts so these motherboards can get BIOS and driver updates, then I may purchase a Haswell-E/x99 system. A 2011-3 based system with the i7-5930k CPU would last a LONG time thanks to 3.5 Ghz speed and six cores.
The MSI x99s Mpower board uses an Intel NIC (I hate the killer NIC, what a joke...) and has multi-BIOS. If this board is priced right, it could be the x99 board to get, IMO.
I know MSI sells the x99s xPower AC which is the big brother to this board. I would like to have wireless networking, but it's just priced way to high for a feature I hardly ever use. If the Mpower is a priced high for my tastes, I'll settle on the x99s SLI Plus, if I go with MSI that is.
I'll just keep a look out for this board then and look for reviews.
Thanks a bunch!

Problems with MSI X99S MPower

My setup:
- Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100i GTX
- Corsair RM850 850W 80 Plus Gold Modular
- G.Skill Ripjaws 4 DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 16GB 2x8GB CL15 Roja
- Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 OC 3GB GDDR5
- Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5Ghz Box
- MSI X99S Mpower
Here is my problem so far:
At first I thought it might be a ram problem, but after doing a CDOS, I was able to boot with 4 RAM sticks to windows, using my SSD.
However, after I resetted and connected my other two HDDs, the computer doesn't boot.
Now, the computer will only get past the Boot phase if there's no hardrives attached, (Doesn't matter if it's one of the empty ones, or the SSD, or another HDD from another computer with windows in it that works)
I wont even get into the splashscreen!
I am unsure as to what might be causing this problem or how to solve it, I am not tech savy, and honestly, after the problems last computer gave me, I thought my bad luck was out and than building this one would be a breeze!
I suspect the MOBO might be defective, since it's weird that it gets past bootphase alright, but doesn't accept any SATA devices.
I tried to change the cable 3 times, (PSU one, and SATA cable) even to a different version that didn't come with the MOBO, I also tried two hardrives, an SSD and an HDD but neither will let me get to splashscreen if connected to the Motherboard.
I need all the help I can get! Thank you!

Bios updat help for msi x99s mpower board

Does anyone know the link for the msi x99s mpower motherboard bios updates ? i have the msi x99s mpower black and yellow motherboard i'm looking for the bios update link. because when i try to play game like csgo and h1z1 my game lags real bad and i know it is not the internet because i have tried 3 other pc on same line they all work fine and i even had my graphics card and hdd tested they all are fine so i am hoping it might be a bios issue

First I don't think you or anyone should put up with having only 3 channel memory when they paid for 4. If the board or CPU are faulty they should be replaced.
You can start with MemTest86 or MemTest86+. MemTest86 has multi CPU test option that is more real life like, I don't know about MemTest86+, haven't used it for quite long time.
Before using Prime95, make sure you have CPU/Core temperature monitoring software such as RealTemp, Core Temp, HWiNFO, or CPUID HWMonitor.
Prime95, I assume th 64-bit version, but this create a lot of heat, what cooler do you have?
You can choose to run 6 threads instead of 12, it should be stressfull enough, also you can add the line Code: [Select]
CpuSupportsFMA3=0 to local.txt to disable FMA3 instructions that are more stressful on the CPU but not necessarily on memory.
If it is still too hot (>70c) add Code: [Select]
CpuSupportsAVX=0Do not close the window to stop the test, select exit from the file menu.
Or you can try OCCT which is all-in-one, stress + monitoring in one program. Select Large Data Set to stress memory. It also runs somewhat cooler than Prime95.
trust me i agree i talked to msi support and got no help they just kept telling me they know about the issuse and should have a fix for it soon, But yet i have seen many people say they have the same problem over 5 months now....... So i just talked to amazon and they said no problem they will give me a refund so now i need to find a good board to work with my i7 5820k 2011-3 pcu

Msi X99 MPOWER SATA problem

Hi There
I Have Build a system including Msi X99 MPOWER, intel i7 5820k, corsair hydro h100i, Corsair AXi860, 2x8 gb kit crucial ballistic sport ddr4 2400, Samsung 840 evo 250gb.
The system post normaly and i can access bios if nothing is connected to sata ports. As soon as i connect a hard disk or a dvd player the motherboard won't post and i have the a led error code "00". The next step was to update bios to version 22.3 with a usb which was successful but the problem remains. I have tried to clear cmos, different sata cables, sata hard drives, memory sticks and power supply but the problem remains. Is there a possibility to fix this with an future bios update or should i RMA it?
Regards Dounis

Hi there
"have you tried to take mainboard out of PC case and to place it over non conductive surface?"
It didn't make any difference taking the motherboard out of the PC Case.
"Which SATA port did you use to plug the HDD and DVD?"
Initially i tried 1st and 2nd SATA port but i also tried the rest of them.
"you cannot see the device even under bios setuP?"
ok There are two cases
1st Case No SATA disks connected.
I switch on the power supply and press power button of the motherboard, the system post normally and i can access bios if nothing is connected to SATA ports,
2nd Case WITH SATA disks Connected
I switch on the power supply and press power button i get "error code 00" the motherboard won't post.
Then if i press the power button to shutdown and then power on again then the system post normally and it recognize the hard disk and DVD and i can install windows. It seems that the sata controllers cannot initialize the first time the motherboard is powered up by the power supply
regards

MSI X99S Mpower error 67

MOVED: MSI X99S MPOWER won't boot (Debug 00) after installing Transcend 256 M.2 SSD

This topic has been moved to MSI Intel boards.

can you list the exact M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) mode/part number?

X99S Mpower + I7-5930K Vcore Voltages?

Hey guys,
Been working on getting this system stable for the past week on my bench. For the most part I have had success, minus a few issues with DOA video cards.
I am curious as to what my Vcore voltages should be on this system, currently in HWinfo64 my Vcore voltage ranges from a min of 0.008v to max of 0.216v (load). This number seems low to me! When I run OCCT, VIN7, VIN8 and VIN9 are all well below 1 volt, is this normal?
I have had some weird intermittent issues with some random crashes and sometimes Win8 won't boot properly (Black screen and keyboard loses power). However, I can run Prime95 and FurMark (4K resolution) at the same time while surfing the internet and not have a single issue. I suspect that my power supply may be taking a dump, which is entirely possible as it is well over 3-4 years old and I used to push it pretty hard.
System:
Windows 8.1
I7-5930K
MSI X99S Mpower
MSI GTX 980 OCV1 x2
Crucial 256gb M.2
32GB G.skill DDR4-2400
Corsair TX850V2

Okay will do.
I just want to recap the issue and include a new one:
1. Vcore on HWinfo64 reads from 0.008V to 0.216V. VIN7, VIN8 and VIN9 on OCCT read as low as 0.01V when idle. (I will post photos tonight.)
2. Windows 8.1 hangs on boot after the blue window logo loads, keyboard and mouse lose power. (This happens occasionally, 1 out of 4 restarts)
3. Using memory kit F4-2400C15Q-32GRR, even when set to 2133Mhz Windows will only recognize 20.9GB to 28.9GB. Ran memtest and found no faults.
I own a Thermaltake DR. Power II and I checked the PSU, all voltages are normal.
NOTE: I am currently NOT using J_PWR3 (4-pin EPS12V) only the J_PWR2 8-Pin EPS12V. I am under the assumption after speaking with MSI technical support that the additional 4-pin J_PWR3 is for overclocking only and is not required for normal operation only J_PWR2 8-pin is required. If this is wrong and it IS needed for normal operation someone please correct me!

X99S MPOWER and 780 Lightning 2-way SLI

Hi,
After more than 4 years I'm thinking of replacing my beloved i7 930 @4.2GHz and MSI X58A-GD65 with a i7 5820K and a MSI X99S MPOWER.
However, I currently own a MSI GTX 780 Lightning and it is my intention to get a second one to go SLI, so I am a bit concerned regarding the spacing of the PCI-E 3.0 slots on the latter motherboard.
According to the mainboard manual, tha I downloaded, the X99S MPOWER only supports 2-way SLI on the slots named PCI_E1 and PCI_E3 slots, which are spaced 2 slot apart. Given that a 780 Lightning basically covers 3 slots, the configuration recommended by the manual is unusable. What I would need instead is to use the slots named PCI_E1 and PCI_E5 in the manual, which are spaced 4 slots apart.
Would that be possible???
I cannot believe that MSI has designed an enthusiast-oriented board that cannot be used with a 2-way SLI configuration based on their flagship nVidia graphics card... so, please, tell me it's not true!
P.s. I have checked the X99S XPOWER manual and with that board I would be able to set up the 2-way SLI the way I need, but it costs almost £100 more than the X99S MPOWER...

The layout of X99S Mpower is indeed quite bad. If using recommended slots PCI_E1 and PCI_E3 for 2-way SLI thermal issues are a sure thing for the upper card if it fits at all as there is just one slot in between. Still you can use the 2nd card in PCI_E5 without a problem (if SLI bridge is long enough and can cover three slots). This will just change the lane setup what is irrelevant in your case. Your 5820K just offers 28 lanes anyway so 2nd card would be at x8 in any case. The only difference when running in PCI_E1 and PCI_E3 would be that first card stays at x16 in 2 way SLI but that's irrelevant if 2nd card is at x8 none the less. Using PCI_E1 and PCI_E5 both are running at X8. That's would be the maximum possible on a socket 1150 board and SLI works fine in this config. For the nvidia driver the populated slots are not relevant for enabling SLI, both slots just need to run at x8 minimum.

X99S MPOWER Very slow to POST

Just built a system for a friend who supplied all the parts.
X99S MPOWER
Intel I7 CPU
16Gb GSKILL RAM
240Gb SSD
MSI GTX 970 GAMING Twin Frozr V 4GB
Windows 7 HP
The machine takes an age to POST. I have to wait for up to one minute before the MSI splash screen appears. After then the machine boots to Windows without problems and is stable in use. NO overclocking settings have been set and the bare minimum of BIOS settings have been applied.
As the machine is starting I see some changing letters and numbers appear at the bottom right of the monitor.
Can anyone help diagnose this very slow POST behaviour? or is this a trait of this particular motherboard?

bios version?

MSI X99S Gaming 7 Won't Boot

Hi -
I just recently purchased an X99S motherboard. I put it all together, and all was fine for about 24 hours. I updated the BIOS and then started running a defrag and left the machine on while I went to work. When I got home, the machine was off. It's not responding to the power button the board or on my case. If I turn the power off on my PSU and turn it back on and hit the power switch, I get a split second flash of lights and then nothing. I initially thought that it was my power supply so I bought a new one. I got that installed and same thing. One thing to note is that the MSI LED up by the 24 pin connector is on red. I've already tried the secondary BIOS and I have removed all of the memory except the DIMM in Slot 7. I haven't yet tried to remove the board from the case yet and tried it on a non conductive surface. I just wanted to get some thoughts on that debug LED that is currently on. I believe the motherboard has just died, but wanted to run it by someone first.
Here are my specs:
Board: MSI X99S Gaming 7
Bios: Version 14.7
VGA: MSI GTX980 Gaming
PSU: EVGA 1000 Watt G2
CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5GHz
MEM: Corsair Vengeance 2666 4x4gb CMK16GX4M4A2666C16
HDD: PNY 256GB SSD
COOLER: Corsair CWCH60 Water Cooler
OC: None
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

Take it out of the case, place on non conductive surface (wooden table, motherboard box) and run it then. Also try with single RAM stick in every RAM slot.
Try clearing CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also make sure all power connectors are properly fitted in.
What way did you update the BIOS? Also was it successful?

MSI Z77 MPower Ram issues

Hi guys
I recently installed the MSI Z77 MPower after replacing it with the Asrock extreme 4 mobo which i had before, am currently having problems with the RAM it wont boot if i place them in the correct slots for dual channel configurations but if i place them in the last two slots the PC boots up fine.
My Ram is the G Skill Ripjaw X series 1600mhz model number: F3-12800CL8-4GBXM.
Its driving me nuts two motherboards and nothing working, i just hope its not relating to my CPU or something like that.
Please...please guys really need your help with this, because without it running in dual channel configuration my first build feels incomplete due to this problem.
Thanks in advance

Hi guys thanks for the replies and sorry for the late reply has i said before my MSI MPOWER Z77 motherboard is totally brand new and i know for a fact that no bent pins in the cpu socket, from what i am aware of, if my RAM is related due to the type of RAM modules that i am using and you guys are suggesting corsair modules which ones do you guys recommend me getting. You know when i said only slot 3 and 4 only worked could that be in a result of the RAM am using or not....??
Thanks in advance guys

(This happen when i was typing this thread and it also knocked my mouse and keyboard out so i had to change their usb slots to make them work again)
I'v watched some other threads who had similar problems but i couldnt come to a conculsion on what problem i had, so any help would be very appriecated.

I have not tried the clear cmos guide and I will try it.
I have tried memtest, and passed. But iv only let it pass once after closing it because I didnt know how it worked.
Its 4x4gb singlekit. I will try the 'Exclude method' next
Here is the messages i got after clearing cmos

MSI Z87 MPower Max - Bad board? Failed SATA and B2 problems????

So here's the thing, been having problems with my system, I have a SSD as the boot drive and a RAID 5 array using the intel controller as a Data drive. It started infrequently that occassionally the system would lock up with the HDD LED on solid, Then it became progressively more and more frequently while troubleshooting.
I started out thinking it was the RAID array since after it freezes it would reboot do a verification and find some errors, so I disabled the array and tried running the WD lifeguard on each drive, each one passed a full disk scan. I tried booting the system with 1 or the 3 drives unplugged, still froze so cycled through each drive, froze each time.
Started suspecting the SSD so I cloned the drive onto a mechanical hard drive, still froze.
Unplugged the entire array and just ran the HDD alone..... didn't freeze as frequently but would still freeze.
Swapped out the RAM with good ram... Still froze.
Swapped power supplies with a good supply... Still froze.
Removed all the components except the boot drive, the RAM and the CPU..... stopped freeze up completely, instead I would get microstutters where the system would freeze for .25 to .5 seconds then continue, could tell if you played a audio stream it would keep repeating (Even a buffered stream) did a latency test and interupts were flying like mad and taking a long time to process, with no specific driver or process assigned.
Plugged the RAID array back in and it was working with the microstuttering, while trying to backup data off the array it froze again.
Rebooted the system, bios would die at B2
unplugged the RAID drives, cleared the cmos the system would boot.
Plug back in the raid drives , clear the cmos and it dies at B2.
Took out a hardware RAID controller (LSI 9260) and connected the drives up to that, dies at B2
unplug the controller... Bios boots
Plug in the controller with no drives attached, dies at B2.
Take the controller out, bios boots.
Sometimes the system gets to A2 and the screen shows snowy static
What is also strange is this occurs on both bios's.... the primary bios which I have flashed to 1.5 and the backup bios which I had left at 1.1 as a fail safe and never flashed.
Thoughts?

Hi
Almost same story happened to me.
I have now 2 pieces of Z87 MPOWER boards and both have the same issues.
1. Board came with BIOS 1.5. I left BIOS B to 1.5 and flashed BIOS A to 1.7 with MFLASH method. I installed W8.1 on my onto my SAMSUNG SSD and the PC was working for 2 or 3 days.
Then I noticed strange behavior while booting. The SSD was not found sometimes. I hit F11 and the list was full of USB pen drive entries. Then I entered the BIOS and I have seen only two menu entries: Security and one more I don't remember. Inside of the menu items it was empty or some chinese letters. So I thought the Bios was currupted. Due to missing MFLASH menu I couldn't flash the bios via MFLASH, so I had to study the German MSI Forum. Then I prepared the USB pendrive with ABUDE method and I brought back BIOS A alive. Fine, I thought: It can happen but it shouldn't. But the boot problems came back....
2. The second board came and had BIOS 1.4 installed and I didn't touch board #1 anymore . So I flashed BIOS A again to 1.7 and you know already what's coming up. Totally the same story which I had with board #1.
I switched back to BIOS B and no problems at all with booting.
After a while I noticed some BSODs because of Killer EThernet driver (bwcW8x64.sys). I had so serious problems with that driver. The problem is: If the driver fails, you are even unable to go to the internet and look for a new driver, because your ethernet is dead. Very funny, but not for me. I got the drivers from antother PC and I tried to install them. During installation it was fine. The card was working, but I was forced to do a reboot. After the reboot, the ethernet card was disabled because windows coudn't load the driver. OK, that's a windows issue or a poor driver. I tried several times. No chance to get ethernet back alive. Finally I disabled the Killer Ethernetboad and plugged my former Intel Gigabit ET Dual Port Sever Adapter in. I thought, now I get rid of all the problems. Ha ha...
First was everything fine. Then the PC didn't want to boot anymore: BIOS message --> B2.
I hit del key: "Entering setup" message came up. Nothing more. Several times. Dead.
I plugged out the Intel ethernetboard. Bios came up. I put the ethernet board to another PCI slot. 2 days of working. later on, same story.
Then I switched back to BIOS B and no problems at all.
So what's up here with my 2 MPOWER boards, showing the same issues with BIOS 1.7? What I did wrong?
- MFLASH? May be. But I don't use it anymore. I use the MSIHQ USB Flashing Tool from this forum now which was also spread in the German forum.
- I never flashed BIOS beta versions, I always red articals how to flash and I think I did nothing wrong here.
- Overclocking? No. Unfortunatelly I bought an Intel i4770 CPU without K. Funny. So no overclock issues at all.
- Memory? I have fully equipped 32GB (G.Skill F3-2400C10Q-32GTX) and did the MEM86+ test successfully.
Day before yesterday I flashed BIOS 1.6 to BIOS A. All looks good until now. The intel ethernet board behaves well. No B2 messages.
I will further comment as soon there is anything new.
Do we have some issues with BIOS 1.7? I strongly belief....
I have seen BIOS V1.81 beta is out. But where is V1.8 official release? Anyway, I am tired of testing. If I do not have issues with 1.6 then I will use it.
Unfortunately the MSI Z87 MPOWER board is not yet widely spread. Otherwise we would have more user experiences.
Ok, any comments are highly appreciate it.
@ Corellon: Sometime I got A2 messages with black screen with BIOS V1.7
Which bios version had you installed when you experienced severe problems?
I guess V1.5 & V1.6 are save. 1.7 has got problems.
