New Z97 Gaming AC board and MSI gtx780

All,
Been banging my head against the wall all night on this. Hopefully its something easy. Got my new rig assembled:
I5 4670k
MSI Z97-Gaming 9 AC LGA 1150 Intel Z97
MSI Gaming N780 TF 3GD5/OC GeForce GTX 780 3GB
Have a M.2 intel SSD installed
Windows 8.1 64 installed no issues
For the life of me, I can not get the motherboard to detect the 780, I updated to the latest bios using the USB flash utility, no issues. Completed successfully.
Using the Board viewer it shows nothing in the PCIE slot, I have also tried SLOT 2 still no luck.
The MB still does not show anything inserted into the slot.
Any suggestions would greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance

Well, wish I had good news, but not so much. With everything setup on a test bench the board wont even post with a card plugged into the PCIE slot. Remove the card post, and into the bios every time. Tried clearing CMOS, all 3 PCIE slots just a no go.
RMA is issued and it will be going back tomorrow.
*Fingers crossed on the new board*
Thanks for all the suggestions, will let you know what happens when the new board arrives.
Cheers

Z97 Gaming 3 board SBC2 problems

I recently bought a Z97 Gaming 3 Board and installed all the drivers with the CD and live update 6.
Whenever i open Sound Blaster cinema 2 it says that theres no audio device available.
I've tried the following thing a couple of time wich i found on this forum.
i've uninstalled the realtek Audio program, SBC2 and deleted all the audio devices in Device manager.
reinstalled the Realtek audio (from website and antoehr time from the update tool again) After that reinstalled SBC2 (also from website and update tool) and i still get the same message.
HD sound is enabled in the BIOS
I hope someone knows a way to get my SBC2 working, because it improves sound.
Im using a 5.1 Headset( connected the Sound optimised USB, and a 2.1 audio set connected to the 3.5 jacket on the back
Thanks for the time

SB2, or any other Realtek/Creative offering made to enhance the analog audio subset isn't going to recognize a USB headset and work with it. You would need to be using a normal analog headset for SB2 to "see" it and use it's functionality. USB is separate from your regular motherboard analog audio source. For instance I have a Z87 G43M that has the Creative SoundBlaster Cinema. It's not going to work with any USB headset only a regular 3.5mm connector headset.

Weird USB & overclocking issues with Z97 Gaming 7 board

I just had to replace my trusty Z77-G45 board with a new Z97 Gaming 7. The board itself looks fine so far but some things just don't work as I'd expect them to.
1. USB -> as soon as I connect a USB stick, Windows will drop me a blue screen. This only happens with sticks! Memory cards, external hard drives and so on are fine. It doesn't matter whether I use the front or back ports, problem remains the same.
I even tried to re-set the bios USB settings (they were enabled by default), but even disabling them doesn't do any good.
Yes, current Intel and ASMedia drivers have been installed prior to this.
2. Overclocking. I can't change several values in the bios. Values in brackets can be changed, as usual, but many others remain to be "fixed". Starting with the "optimized defaults", could there be anything that blocks these settings?
Bios is current, version 1.8, and CMOS was cleared completely (jumper set, battery & cord removed) after flashing.

Yes, well partly at least:
- found my USB ports to work after I enabled all the options there were in bios (that's a start!)
- found USB sticks to work normally after uninstalling the USB port drivers (ASMedia)
So far, so good at least.
Then I remembered my short "voyage" with a Z87 board. Simply entering numbers seems to work. I like the idea as it keeps total newbies away, but I hate it for not seeing any kind of range.
Especially now, as the platform is totally new to me, and even the default values show up in bright red when I enter them manually. No sort of documentation to be found in the manual, so I hope I'll stumble across something like a "MSI-specific" OC tutorial (most of them seem to concentrate on Asus and Asrock, as usual).
Thanks for trying to help though I couldn't find a button to delete the topic so I thought locking it would be a good alternative.
PS: I'm on Win 8.1 now, which updated my previous Win 8 installation, and it's running fine now. Using things like "show hidden devices" & uninstalling old drivers has helped me to keep my installations for quite some time normally. Often across various platforms even (used to be far more years ago as I don't upgrade as much anymore).

Z97 gaming 5 - A2 and 9C

Hi,
I have read some topics about it, but want to double check. While PC is booting, these codes flashes one by one on screen (lower right corner) and on led which is on MoBo. But it doesn't stay on it , just short flash.
So is it OK (its doing some kind of checking) or it is sign that something wrong in system?
My PC specs:
Z97 Gaming 5
Gtx970 gigabyte G1
I5 4690k
SSD samsung Evo
HDD WD black
PSU CM V850
Thanks.

So yesterday I installed my PC parts again - re-connected cables to PSU/PC components, made HDD/SSD re-connections, changed CMOS battery to new. I left the fan splitt'er connected for now.
For first day no restarts, all good. Will monitor further. Some observations made:
- PSU connection to mobo power (20+4 pin) - it seemed that it was loose in PSU side, but maybe I pulled it when taking out other connections.
- other parts seemed to be installed correctly. I made one change just in case - my HDD and SSD was connected with same power cable, I split them by adding one more cable to PSU to separate them.
After start, configured BIOS (as it was reset by changing battery), then booted to windows normally.
After idea came just to check do I have latest drivers from MoBo side - so I ran MSI update Live 6, which was crashing each time I tried to scan. So I went to MoBo page, downloaded latest drivers and installed all drivers - some of them was latest with no need to install.
Some strange observations:
- I uninstalled Intel USB 3.0 intel usb 3.0 extensible host controller - it was getting me errors while installing/updating, and I read in some forums that these drivers can cause issues (bsod and stuff like that). My USB devices works after, no issues after uninstall.
- I was installing Intel Management Engine Driver+Microsoft hotfix driver - and it showed me that i have newer version - but I didn't (I had 10.0.30 and in support web it is 10.0.31 update). So I went ahead with installation of downloaded driver, even if OS thought I have newer version.
- and last and most interesting one - after installing one of the drivers (don't remember which one exactly) - popup window opened with information that my SSD drive is installed successfully (like it happens when you plug new device).... and here is my OS... so I wouldn't be surprised if this was the cause.
Still, I will go ahead with Win 8.1 upgrade, and we'll see if issue still here.

Z97 Gaming 7 - e2200 latest MSI drivers crash router

Hi all
Installing Killer Networking version 1.1.49.1068 crashes my router. I've had the ISP come around and they've checked the wire, replaced the router even though there is nothing wrong with it. The same wire works on my laptop and PS3 but the second the PC is connected, the router stops functioning. Downgrading to Killer Networking version 1.1.42.1045 has resolved the issue. However, I would like to keep my programs up to date.
I am currently on Windows 8.1, CPU: i7 4790k, 32GB ram, 500GB SSD and if you need any more information then please let me know.

Did you try the one with driver only?

New Z97 Gaming 3 + Windows 8.1... No wireless!

I recently purchased a Z97 Gaming 3 and installed Windows 8.1. Everything ran smoothly but I can't see any wireless connection available. I downloaded the LAN drivers from the motherboard drivers page, with and without suite, with no results. In the Device Manager, under Network adapters, I can see only one items, that being Killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30). I can't see any adapter for wireless connection... Any idea how can I solve the problem?

The e2200 adapter is the only on board ethernet adapter, and it is not a wireless NIC.
As Svet has asked, do you have another wireless adapter (PCI/PCI-E or USB maybe?) plugged into the computer?

OEM M/BOARDS AND MSI WARRANTY ?

Does MSI warranty OEM purchased m/boards past the 14 day period(s) offered by places such as Newegg . Meaning ... if you purchase an OEM board from Newegg and its past THIER 14 day warranty ; will/ or does MSI further cover the board for another 3yr warranty same as a retail board ?
TIA

Quote from: NovJoe on 06-May-07, 12:28:55
If it is a vanilla OEM board, no warranty by MSI.
If it is a retail OEM board, if I'm not wrong, yes warranty by MSI.
You can contact MSI and check out the actual details.
Well Ive ordered OEM's from the Egg in the past but Ive always recieved full retail boxed OEM'S , but not this time .This time it seems to be a "vanilla" OEM P6N SLI-FI from Newegg ; as it came in a plain brown box with no accessories ; so I'd imagine there would be no MSI warranty as you mentioned .
Iam having problems with the board and have till Monday to send it back . To be on the safe side , Iam think Iam just going to rma the OEM board for a full a retail box so as not have to worry about the full warranty thing .
Thx for the reply's

Problem with MSI Board and MSI Geforce 4 with Windows XP

I have a MSI 845E Max(MS-6566E)
MSI Geforce 4 - 420
Celeron 1.7 gig
Soundblaster Live
2 Network Cards
and the usual stuff.
I have loaded Windows 98 on my system and it works fine. But then I load Windows XP on and the system starts rebooting. After it reboots my video resets itself and I have to load it back in. I will then reboot and sometimes it will work, sometimes it will not. I try playing a game or even searching the net for awhile, but out of the blue the system will give a very quick blue screen and reboot. And of course when it boots up the video is reset. I loaded all the drivers I could find on MSI's website and used every video driver made by Nvidia and MSI. If I do a Windows XP update to my system the computer will not even boot up. it will just keep rebooting when it is trying to bring up the login screen. Anyone else run into this with Windows XP?

My system sometime freezes. Why ???

Afterburner interface between Z97 Gaming 5 MB and IOS device?

I have had my new computer up and running long enough to feel it is stable now. I want to play with over-clocking it to see what difference it will make when gaming. I also want to maintain a visual monitor of board specs while in overclock mode.
I downloaded the Afterburner App for my iPhone but cannot figure out how to connect the two devices. Does anyone have any suggestions or information that would allow my iPhone to monitor the progress of my MB while in afterburner?

which download link you have clicked?

I have a new impulse 61 key board and i have garage band. when i hit a key the sound has a delay before i hear it, i also have it hooked up to a bose radio. is there a way to correct this delay?

I have a keyboard Impulse 61. I have it hooked up to the imac and then to a bose speaker thru bluetooth and i have a long sound delay from when i hit a key until i hear sound. Is ther a fix for this delay?

The "restore disk" is built into the Mac. See About Recovery.
Need more specifics about what error messages you got while installing Adobe Flash.
However, you can almost avoid Flash altogether by setting YouTube to play the HTML5 version instead.
Click the Try something new! link at the bottom of the YouTube page.
I don't know about the sound issue. Might be hardware as you think. Try other headphones to check.

HELP why wont my msi z97 gaming 9 mother board find my msi N770 graphics card ?

have built a new gaming PC from scratch based around the MSI Z97 gaming 9 motherboard and the MSI NVIDIA GTX 770 graphics card i have installed all the drivers for the mother board and everything seems to be ok i have then used live update to update all the drivers and bios.
i then installed the graphics card and it powers up and the fans start but my pc isn't recognising the fact that is exists helps please

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.

Z97 GAMING 9 AC - PCIE and the wi-fi module no longer detecting

Hi,
I 'm Overclocking enthusiast and recently decided to take to my hometown in Brazil using a platform products from MSI, to make disclosure of benchmark tests in social networks and in gaming blogs.
So i purchased a new system including the MSI Z97 GAMING 9 AC motherboard and MSI Gaming N770 TF 4GD5/OC GeForce GTX 770 4GB graphics card. After building the system I initially had problems with the graphics card not being detected and the wi-fi module (that hard to fit in the mobo) don't even appear in device manager. I already tried to dismount and remount the module on the motherboard with extreme care, no success. After some research I updated the bios to 1.5 and used the onboard graphics card to install windows 8.1, drivers etc. After windows, drivers etc were installed the graphics card and the wi-fi module still would not detect.
I have tried another graphics card in this system and it does not seem to work either. In bios it just always says that the PCIE slots are 'empty'.
So I have tried the following:
1. Cleared CMOS.
2. Updated BIOS.
3. Updated Chipset, drivers etc.
4. Tested the Graphics Card in other computers.
5. Used a different graphics card in this system.
6. Tried PCIE 2.0, 3.0 and auto.
7. Completely reformated and started from scratch.
So after many attempts I am disappointed with MSI and need some solution to my problem, since I saw that several customers who have purchased from MSI are the same product with exactly the same problem which possibly conclude that MSI has a duty to resolve these cases.
Full Specs:
•   EVGA SuperNOVA 1300G2 ATX12V/EPS12V 1300W 80Plus Gold Power Supply 120-G2-1300-XR
•   Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H100i Liquid CPU Cooler - Extreme Performance CPU Cooling and Built-In
•   Intel Core i7 4790 LGA1150 CPU 3.6Ghz
•   Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB 2x8GB DDR3
•   2 x Kingston 120GB SSD 6Gbs
•   Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro 64bit OEM
•   MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC Motherboard
•   MSI Gaming N770 TF 4GD5/OC GeForce GTX 770 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

I have the exact same problem with my gaming 9 AC only the PCIe slot for gfx card worked initially. MSI support sent me a new WiFi adapter, it also didnt work. When I installed it, the PCIe slot would not identify my graphics card anymore. MSI support then advised me to return the board to the reseller, where it is now - they are checking it for defects before they do anything.
Ill keep you updated how they proceed from here. If there are any more problems I will just ask my reseller to downgrade me to a gaming 7, I can add a pcie wifi card on my own, and avoid the hassle.

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

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?
