New Z87-G45 wont boot to windows - restart loop

I purchased a new MSI Z87-G45 Mobo and i5 4440 and now I cant boot into windows.
It was blue screening but now it just gets to windows load screen for a second and then restarts.
I have an older sata HDD would that be the issue?
I was able to install windows on a new SSD and it boots and works fine so its obviously something to do with the older HDD.

you can't boot from older OS installation on new different mobo

MSI Z87 G45 + MSI R9 280X + Windows 8.1 secure boot difficulties

After updating to Windows 8.1 Pro I had the "Secure Boot isn't configured properly" watermark as many others. I determined my disk is GPT partitioned, I enabled UEFI on the GPU by moving the physical switch from the 2 position to the 1 position, and enabled Windows 8 Feature + Secure Boot with standard settings in the G45 bios (ver 1.5). After doing save and reboot I'm presented with a blank screen with my monitor showing a "DVI no input" message. I reset the CMOS to allow me to boot again, but after a couple more tries with the secure boot settings such as enabling/disabling Fast Boot I have not been able to get it to work.
System:
MSI Z87 G45
8GB DDR3 1600mhz Crucial ram
I5-4670k

I want to know the same thing. I bought a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard this month and I can't activate Secure Boot on it because it's still in Setup Mode. I have no idea how to put the motherboard into User Mode and Google doesn't help me much further either. How to activate a key? I have a I5-5670K and GTX 770 by the way.

Z77MA-G45 wont boot up new system

dear folks,
I just built my PC and with the test build everything did it alright, but now when I have it installed in my case it wont boot up.
Everytime i boot you will see in the down right corner B4 / 99 / A2 then it gonna reboot. Ive tried with 1 ram in all the 4 slots but still got the same problem.
Theres no troubleshoot on the website so i cant check out what A2 means. Please help me

that is weird! starting to look like the board is faulty!
a thew other thing you could give a go : do a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<< and plug unplug the PSU and hold the power button in for 30 seconds with the power switch turned on at the back of your PSU!

Z87-G45 Gaming - Boot error code A2 (stalled)

Hey folks,
I just purchased this board with an i5-4670k
I have a weird issue with the boot process. It doesn't occur at bios default values, only when I change them.
Here is the steps I do prior to get this stalled on BIOS load screen
1- I change the OC settings to get to either 4.2 or 4.4GHZ (1.29v for CPU 4.4ghz and 2v for input)
2- hit F10, save and restart
3- Boot normaly into windows.
4- Launch AIDA64 to stress test the system for 8h. Yes I did the 8 hours at first. It successfully passed the stress test.
5- I browsed a little bit.
6- I played battlefiled
No issue so far.
7- I shutdown the computer.
8- I then restarted it, and BOOOOMM. It stalls on the black screen, prior to the Dragon screen, with a A2 code in the lower right corner.
So I know the the OC is fine, since the stress test is OK for that long. I tried it several time, but only stressed it for 30min, then reboot and BOOMMM again. :/
So can someone, from MSI, help me?
Thx

Hey!
I decided to chip in since I have almost the same issue.
My PC boots to Windows and runs just fine apart from the 2second A2 debug code delay. Been playing games like BF4 for a good amount of time etc.
I just seem to be getting that same A2 debug code whenever I boot, seems to be the WD Caviar Red drive I just bought a week ago, already tried a few different sata and power cables, which dont help the case. When I unplug it the boot happens normally without any debug codes. Thing is the HDD seems to be working just fine, tested it with HD Tune Pro and CrystalDiskInfo. Also im not certain, but pretty sure that the A2 debug code only started happening after I installed a GTX 770 (day after the WD 1TB Caviar Red drive). Then again that doesnt make much sense? Since then it would most likely be an issue with the PSU, but seeing how I can play BF4 on high settings for 2hours straight it most definately isnt I think. My problem doesnt have anything to do with overclocking though, since I run everything on default.
Any ideas? And again, sorry for chipping in your thread. Just saw the same debug code problem and thought I shouldnt do a new one.

Z87-GD65 wont boot from any drive, please help!

I desperately need your help on this issue. And thanks in advance for any answer!
I have a brand new Z87-GD65 Mainboard.
When I select my boot device in BIOS all I get is: "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
In BIOS I can find all my hardware (CPU, Drives, HDDs, DVD,... RAM) everything is shown correctly. Nothing missing there, all parts shown by correct values.
I cant boot through my DVD Drive or external USB Drive (on both I have Windows 7 which I want to install on my new system). The Windows DVD is also working properly, I checked it on my old PC.
No matter what Boot priority/device I choose (I think Ive tried them all by now) "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" is what I get after "save & reboot".
My BIOS Version is E7845IMS V1.8.
Any suggestions, what am I missing?
thank you very much for any help!

Ok, thanks for your help, I found the problem!
It was my DVD Rom Drive that could not read the DVD!!!!
What I Still dont understand is that it also didnt boot from a bootable HD through USB.
thanks for your help!
Glad you got it working....probably the controller got confused from the faulty DVD rom....

770-g45 wont boot

L.S.
Just recently bought me a new system, based on the 770-g45, phenom II x2 555 black edition and 2x 1Gig Kingston Hyper X DDR3 @ 1800. The bastard won`t boot. It keeps telling me that the cmos settings are wrong and jumps to a black screen with a blinking underscore. It does still respond to a cntrl+alt+delete, so it didnt freeze.. And the bios is actually telling me the proc is a phenom II x4 B55 instead of what the actual package tells me..and what i supposed to have ordered.
Have tried pretty much everything i can come up with. Already bought a Transcend DDR3 2gig 1333 module for testing purposes. MAinly tried setting the latency timers and voltage control. Rather reluctant though to increase ram voltage to over 1.9V. It just keep throwing me the same black screen.
By the way, i did see, while building, that the mainboard had a little bend at the side of the com port, didnt look that severe at first...
Anybody?
edit: already flashed the bios to the V10.5
Thanks,
Dennis

H9-1150 PC wont Boot with WIndows 7 Premium 64 bit with ASUS 960 GTX Card.

I saw others have posted simular issues but i thought id repost this again in case there is more help. I have the Pavalion Elite Phonix h9-1150 desktop with Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit. and the HP 7.07 bios (seems no way to upgrade the bios).
The issue is like others have had i install the new graphics card the Asus 960 GTX Card which came out last month and the system starts up gives about 3 beeps in about 30 seconds each and then it goes to a black screen with a blinking curser and nothing else happens. cant enter bios or the HP settings..
I did try to disable UEFI boot devices in the bios settings and only enable legacy devices (after switching back to my original card then switching to the new card) but it still gives the 3 beeps upon booting. However i was able to enter windows. though i think it may be due to shutting off the computer with the old card in without powering down first. and after the 3 beeps happens (which still locks you out of the bios menu) it shows up the window where you can select safe mode or normal mode.. as sometimes happens if you boot up your computer with windows 7 if you had just turned it off without powering down or something. Through that i am able to enter windows and run the PC and graphics card with no issue its just when i try to boot the issue happens.
and No HP suppor it is NOT a defect with the Card itself. Like many before. i bought a EVGA Card a while back a 780 GTX and the SAME issue happend (though i didnt try the removing the UEFI boot devices then) ...
There is a spacific issue with HP computers that seem to lock out "new" hardware from booting.
Honestly ill be blunt. I really think this is poor doings I read somewhere that while HP will never state it they do this on purpose to prevent people messing up warrenty or any "liabity" occuring by people installing other hardware onto HP stock computers
that makes no since to me. the PC SHOULD be able to run the card. in fact its running it now once i was able to bypass the lock out (temporarly) check benchmarks everyhting is fine the card runs 3 times faster then the old one (as should be the case).
But its just this lockout that HP for some reason has installed on their bios/motherboards that is the issue.
Good news is i got it from amazon and i have about a month till i have to return it. which i think this time i will do. to see if anything crops up in a month or something.
The ONLY solution it seems HP offically has is that to disable secure boot under windows 8
but this is not a windows 8 computer. and i do assume even if iINSTALL windows 8 . the issue would not go away because since its an older bios there would be no way to have a secure boot option to remove?
HP you really need to get on the ball and give us a direct reply on this. Is there ANY WAY to fix this? Can you not simply make a update of older bioses to allow this? Or do you just not want to worry about older pCs?
either way i think this is wrong and very frustrating and to be honest. If this is the case when my pc otherwise SHOULD run the card
its a PCI express 16x slot that is 3.0
here is the deetailed specs as per your page
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03273835
the card SHOULD WORK fine. I thought the 780 GTX was a bit too much for the PC as it had more then a six pin port and needed a bit more power so at first i thought that was the issue. so i returned it. and got this new card now.
however the ASUS 960 GTX card requires the SAME power supply as the default GTX 550 Ti card and the SAME SIX PIN connector
so it SHOULD work.
and benchmarks show that it DOES its just the stupid bios ..that is having the issue.
i am afraid to power down the computer at the moment and try again to see if windows boots normally after disabling the UEPI boot devvices because it may not boot properly.......
HP you are one of the biggest suppliers of computers you know technology these are YOUR computers. WHY cant you give us a direct awnser over this.
ITS VERY frustrating
and to be honest if i cannot resolve this issue i am very hestient to ever buy another HP product if their computers spacifically have this new hardware lockout mode.
because i have the card running now on my pc it runs great! 3 times faster as it should! and yet i know in the back of my mind if i cant figure out this issue likely ill just have to send it back.........least i have some time.
and right now i dont have the money to buy a new pc . this PC is JUST fine for what i need for now other then wanting a bit better card...
it shoudnt be this much of a hassle should it?
Thank you.
This question was solved.

Hi,
You need the BIOS update that is listed under Windows 8 in order to support the newer graphics. You need to upgrade to Windows 8 or temporarily install Windows 8 so that you can install the BIOS update. While there may be other ways to install the BIOS update, clearly having Windows 8 running will be the safest way. The version 8 BIOS is your best chance at getting the newer graphics cards to work.
You can trial Windows 8 Enterprise for 90 days.
If you decide to install W8, then create the HP external recovery media and backup your data before you do anything.
The reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

Msi z87 g45 infinite boot loop

Hey everyone, i just purchases all my new components including msi's z87 g45 motherboard. When trying to start the computer it turns on one second and then off again, and that goes on until i turn off the psu. I tried a lot of things like different RAM sticks and different dimms, and even with only the cpu and psu attached to the motherboard it still does the same:( Now ive read a lot of things, but at another forum i read that the i5 4670k is only supported by a bios v1.1 My g45 motherboard says it has v1.0... So cud that be the problem or shud that not matter? suggestions please :(
My system:
i5 4670k
z87 g45
xfx pro 650w
crucial ballistix 2x4gb
msi gtx 770 lightning

Clarify what board you have. Is it Z87-G45 GAMING? If so it lists 1.1 is required indeed. None the less it has been released with Haswell and the first release Haswell cpus (like 4670k) should be supported with any bios out of the box (even 1.0). I doubt that bios version could be the problem as it would be impossible to flash then as there is not even any older cpu that is officially supported with 1.0.
Try reseating cpu and check socket for bent pins. Also try running board outside case with just basic components.

Blank Screen No Beep No Post on new Z87-G45 Gaming

I posted this on another forum, but since I think my issue might be a bit different I figured a new message would be better.
I switch on older mobo with the this one, new ram, and new Cpu.
When I power it on everything spins up but no post no screen no beep nothing....just spinning fans.
I did all the tests, plugs, bent socket, ram chips, etc...
Since I was switching out a older motherboard with this one, I knew my power supply was good but who knows.
Today. I took a case and stripped it down to metal...put in all the correct mounts in the correct positions, new (in box) Antec 650W PSU
Mounted the board in the new case, connected the speaker, usbs and switches. Plugged in the PSU.
Note: I didn't hook up anything. No Hard disk, no DVD drive, no keyboard, no mouse, nothing.
plugged in the monitor (via DVI)
turned it on...same result. Spinning CPU fans but no beep and a blank screen.
BTW, I registered at the MSI support site but since I send in my serial number tag for the rebate I couldn't register a product.
MOBO: Z87-G45 Gaming purchased 12/30/2013
CPU: i7 4771
RAM: Patriot 2x8GB (in slot 2 and slot 4) PC3-15000 1866Mhz
PSU: Antec 650W
Yesterday I even pulled out the multimeter and started look at the voltage numbers...not that I know what they are supposed to be.
What else can I try?
Any help would be great and thank you!
Gene

Just an update.
I returned the board to Fry's and while there, there was someone else returning the same board for the exact same reason. He got a different board and I just exchanged mine for the same model (even though it was an open box).
I followed xmad's advice and did a out of case test with it. While sitting on the plastic 'Conductive Grid Bag, I plugged in the CPU, the RAM and the power. Hooked up the DVI and turned on the power.
and....got a message on the screen about the amount of memory has changed.
I'll take that. Putting the board in the case and hooking up all the wires now.
Thank you xmad for helping me out....at least I know I wasn't going insane.

Help! Can't overclock new Z87-G45 Gaming without Event 41 Task 63 shutdowns

I'm running into a frustrating problem with Event 41 Task 63 "unexpected shutdowns" when I'm trying to overclock the computer I recently built. The machine shuts down instantly and seemingly randomly under light load, often when it's idle. It doesn't BSOD, there's no crash dump, and the bug check codes are all zeros in event viewer. It doesn't shutdown while stress testing or playing games. It's certainly not overheating.
If I run the processor at default clock this doesn't happen, or at least, it hasn't so far. But when I dial in a modest 4.2ghz overclock, it'll reliably happen once or twice daily. The thing is, my overclock will stress test for 24 hours stable with every program I've tried (Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, AIDA64, Prime95) and passes Intel Burn Test 10 passes at very high. It only seems to generate the Event 41 errors while idle or web browsing.
Steps I've taken so far that have not solved the problem:
- replaced PSU
- replaced memory
- checked cable connections to motherboard
- flashed bios to latest
- updated all drivers to latest
- disabled C-states
- disabled adaptive voltage and dynamic multiplier
- disabled sleep in Windows power plan
- disabled all but one audio driver
- verified hard drive passes dskchk
- verified memory passes memtest 12 hours
- verified sfc/scannow gives no errors
I'm close to abandoning overclocking but that's disappointing.
Here are my system specs:
OS: Windows 8
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 gaming
Processor: Intel i5 4670k
Cooler: Hyper 212+
Memory: Gskill 2x4GB 1600mhz 8-8-8-24 (Haswell compatible)
Video card: MSI 770 GTX Twin Frozer
PSU: Seasonic G-series 650W (Haswell compatible)
Firewire Card: SIIG 2-port PCIe
Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB
Optical: ASUS DRW-24B1ST
Here's the overclock I've been attempting:
Core multiplier: 42
Vcore: 1.16v
Ring multiplier: 41
Vrin: 1.15v
Vccin: 1.85v
XMP enabled (1600mhz, 1.5v)
(all other settings default in MSI bios)
Can anyone suggest to me what might be going on here?
I've tried raising vcore to 1.19 and running fixed voltage with no difference.
Are there other settings I should try changing? One thing, for example, is that I've left vdroop control on auto. I have different % options in the MSI bios, should I start experimenting? I read that Haswell has little vdroop so I didn't mess with it.
Is it right to assume this isn't a motherboard problem, since I don't seem to get the unexpected shutdowns when I'm running stock clocks? I think I've ruled out the PSU and ram since I've replaced them both, so if it's a hardware issue I think it's got to be the motherboard.
Thanks for any help.

I know this topic is old but i have been having this same problem as andy and i cant figure it out. Also im sorry if i wasnt suppose to continue on someones thread but i thought it would be easier since we had the same problem. I have the same mobo and cpu, this only happens when i try to OC. when i set it back to stock bios it doesnt happen. Event id 41 with a random reboot and no BSOD. i dont know what to do anymore besides revert back to stock. IF anyone can help me let me know.
i have oc to 4.4 multiplier with 34x uncore ratio.
things i have tried. set everything to auto except those two settings above.
changed oc multiplier to fixed/dynamic.
turned off xmp lowered ram to 1333mhz ddr3
tested vcore from 1.15 to 1.265 in bios.
vccin at 1.9 to 1.95
vring to 1.15
auto offset settings (vcore/vrin) - also tried .001 offset as well
turned off and on c-states
C1E off
ram timing and volts to auto or manual timings of 9-10-9-28-2 1.5V which were found on the box of ram
ive ran memtest+86 for 4 runs with no problems
sfc/scannow -checked out ok
ran antivirus/malware
ccleaner
lowered cpu multiplier to x40
i passed AIDA64 and prime95 with 6 hours each with vcore at 1.2 but its reboots randomly when on light load like internet browsing.
this whole computer is 2 months old.

HP 8740w WH279UA wont boot after Windows 7 Updates

Hi!
Thank you all for reading my case. I'm the happy owner of a HP 8740w, I have 20GB of RAM and 500GB hard drive. My litle monster has been working perfectly for the last year and a half.
My problem began last night while I was doing a fresh Windows 7 Pro Installation, I did this after installing Windows 8.1 on the laptop and I was not happy with the overall system performace. these are the steps I run before the computer stopped working:
1. Boot from Windows 7 Pro DVD
2. Delete/Create/Format hard drive
3. Computer Boot Ok
4. Installed Wifi Driver Ok
5. Downloaded all System Drivers from HP website
6. Installed all System Drivers
7. Reboot computer it showed 107 windows Updates to be applied
8. Computer Rebooted 2 times while configuring updates
9. Computer Failed to Boot
Now every time I boot the computer the Caps Lock and Num Lock leds Blinks 3 times, according to HP Web Site the 3 times blinking leds indicates Memory Chip failure, these are the steps i tried to troubleshoot the memory error:
1. Boot the computer with the combination of the 4 memory so-dimms, failed
2. Boot the computer without memory, failed
3. Boot the computer without memory, and without hard drive, failed
4. Boot the computer without memory, hard drive, and motherboard battery, failed.
I reallt don't understand how can this had happend to my laptop. Warranty ranned out on 2013 so i'm not elegible to request a replacement. any ideas?

Brand-new Z77A G45 not booting

Hello all. Just started putting a new build together the other day, using the Z77A G45. When I went to boot it up for the first time, it gave me the "Military Class III" splash screen, with the prompts to switch to POST, start BIOS setup, etc. However, pressing any of the keys doesn't do anything, and it shuts down after about twenty seconds or so. The CPU phase leds all turn on for a few seconds after it's powered on, but after that only the first one remains lit.
I thought it might be because it wasn't recognizing my USB keyboard, but I had the same problem even when I used the PS/2 converter that came with the keyboard. I tried clearing the CMOS, and it gave me a screen showing that it recognized everything plugged into the board, and prompted me to hit F1 to continue setup, which worked, but from there all I got was a black screen with an "underscore" in the upper left hand corner. Rebooting with only one stick of RAM didn't change the problem, and I've tried all the USB ports, with similar results.
I'm thinking that the problem lies in the CPU being damaged during installation, but there don't seem to be any bent pins.
Here's the build:
CPU - Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz Dual-Core
Motherboard - MSI Z77A-G45 ATX LGA1155
Memory - Kingston Blu Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333
Storage - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card - MSI GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB
Case - NZXT Tempest 410 ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply - SeaSonic 520W ATX12V / EPS12V
Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Monitor - Asus VS238H-P 23.0"
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try it without any ram, you should get a beep. If not it seems to be RMA time.
This is not true depending on the board and bios version. Not all boards/ bios versions beep at all.
