No sound on 870-g45

Recently purchased MSI 870-g45, a quad core chip, 4 gigs ram, and new fan.
installed all of it and started my computer up.
i'm running windows 7.
i get no sound from the back plugs, i can get sound from the front headset plugs.
i find no software on the disc to control the sound options.
i have tried all 3 options for sound drivers, and none of them give me anything. The creative option tells me no drivers found.
I have no idea what option i should be using, creative, realtek or via.
none of them are working for me.
does anyone have any ideas?

what os you're running? 32bit ? 64bit?
do you use msi drivers?

MSI 870-G45 - something odd is going on with MSI

Ok, this is convoluted but bear with me.
I bought the MSI 870-G45 (MS-7599 v2.x) motherboard from Newegg. Newegg listed the chipset as the AMD 870. However, when I received the motherboard, the manual states that the chipset is actually the RX 780 (a.k.a. AMD 770 a chip from 2007/08!), I checked in CPU-Z and confirmed this. I built a rig with this motherboard on 8/15/2010.
I have been having all sorts of issues. These include memory errors when running memtest86+ or HCI memtest.
Today I come on to the MSI website to do some research on the motherboard and I see that the MSI 870-G45 is now listed as a "NEW" product and the chipset is now the AMD 870, as I originally thought. In fact, MSI has two versions of the 870-G45, depending on what link you visit. See the two links below:
http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=2070
http://us.msi.com/index.php?func=prodmbspec&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=171&cat3_no=&prod_no=2019#menu
The version I ended up with is the one in the first link.
Now, I have the AMD Athlon II X4 635. The product info page at AMD states that the voltages should be between .85v and 1.25v. ( http://products.amd.com/en-gb/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=625 ) However, even though the BIOS of this motherboard (the version with the 770 chipset, which is the one I got) supports this CPU, the "Auto" CPU voltage setting sets the voltage at ~1.35v - above the specs specified by AMD! Wondering if this might also be a cause of the difficulties I am having, I lowered it to 1.12. Running some more tests to see if this has improved stability.
So, two versions of one motherboard, with confusing numbering and Auto voltage that exceeds the specs from the CPU manufacturer. What the heck is going on?
Another issue is that the manual states on page 2-6 (21 on the PDF) states that to be in dual channel mode, I need to put my two DIMM cards in the slots DIMM1 and DIMM2. However, further down the page under the heading "Important", it states:
In Dual-Channel mode, make sure that you install memory modules of the same type
and density in different channel DIMM slots.
This seems to be contradictory, but it is probably just me. Does it mean I install the two DIMMs in DIMM1 and DIMM2 or DIMM1 and DIMM3?

Thank you both for your input. I mistakenly thought this was run by MSI. Feel stupid. But since you were so kind to respond, I'll post my full system specs as you suggested:
AMD Athlon II X4 635 CPU
MSI 870-G45 AM3 Motherboard
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ)
GIGABYTE 1GB GeForce GTX 460
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM
ASUS DRW-24B1ST SATA 24X DVD Burner
OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP 600W ( +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V1@25A, +12V2@25A, [email protected], [email protected] )
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit.
Also just discovered that there are two versions of my CPU (C2 and C3 revisions). Perhaps that is where some of the confusion regarding voltages lie. Again, feel stupid.
Issues in a nutshell:
Computer ran fine for about 10 days. Then booted up a game and got crazy artifacts everywhere. Windows 7 also showed some artifacts when I went back to desktop. OS never crashed though. Windows has never crashed. Because of this, I suspected that my GPU went bad. Ran OCCT GPU test, Furmark and ATI tool and have artifacts on all three. Artifacts appear immediately upon starting test, so I don't think it is temperature related. Temp of GPU is under 40 C idle and highest under load is 77 C, which falls in line with what I read in reviews for card.
Now, before RMAing by video card with Newegg, I decided to download memtest86+ and run it. Just a hunch. I got an error on the first pass in test 2. However, I continued to run the test and saw no more errors. Ran the test again overnight for hours and could not recreate error. Thinking I may have gotten a false positive, I ran HCI Memtest (this one runs in Windows) and ran it for a few hours. That reported multiple errors as well. Now I am trying to run the test with one DIMM at a time to see if I can isolate which stick it is.
So I guess my questions are:
* What are the chances that I got a bad GPU and bad RAM from Newegg? Anything is possible but I thought that getting two lemons was unlikely, and when I then saw the discrepancies in the motherboard info on MSIs website I started to wonder.
* Could bad DRAM have any effect on GPU - as in displaying artifacts. Or would this strictly be a GPU issue?
* A member at another forum warned against leaving voltage settings in BIOS at Auto. This is what led me to look up the specs at AMDs website. What do you think about this recommendation.
Sorry if I came off a little harsh, I thought I was addressing MSI the company and was a bit miffed by two different versions of a board and with the fact that newegg was improperly stating the specs.
I appreciate any help you can give.

I need a new 870-g45 or similarity

I have a customers Mobo (870-g45) and it is broken, I need another 870-g45 or at least similar to it so I can use the same parts.
Anyone have thoughts?
Thanx

Easier would be getting a later but very similar board with latest 970 chipset and AM3+ support which has better availability. Everything should work with it like with the 870:

MSI 870-G45 Motherboard - Can it fit two MSI GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB Cards?

MSI 870-G45 Motherboard - Can it fit two MSI GeForce GTX 550 Ti Cyclone II 1GB Cards?
I'm planning to buy a MSI 870-G45 ATX AM3 Motherboard and two MSI GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB Cards, in order to run multiple monitors.
However my concern is that the cards might not fit into the motherboard.
So could someone please tell me if those two cards will fit into the motherboard?

It means that an x16 PCI-E video card will only get x4 lanes instead of x16 when used in that slot.

Whoops, don't know how I skipped over that in the manual, thanks.
Still need help with the other issue though. Just to add, it did this the very first time I booted up, I do not have Windows or any OS installed because I cannot get past that screen.

MSI 870-G45 Checking NVRAM Hang

I just built a new computer, and it often hangs when restarting by doing one of two things.
1. It hangs at "Checking NVRAM" right after the HDD's are detected.
2. The motherboard beeps 4 times, and then says a BIOS update has been requested via USB. It does a little routine checking for a USB and then telling me I haven't inserted a USB 3 times before it automatically restarts the computer. Sometimes it'll beep 4 times again and do the same thing, sometimes it'll go into the "Checking NVRAM" error, and sometimes it'll boot fine.
Essentially, it's hit-or-miss if it'll hang or not on either of those. I'd say about 80% of the time it does.
Here's my specs:
Antec Three Hundred Case
Antec Truepower New 750W Modular Power Supply
MSI 870-G45 Motherboard
AMD Athlon II X2 255 CPU
Corsair VS2GB1333D3 2GB DDR3-1333 RAM (in the first slot)
ASUS Radeon HD 5450 Silent 1GB PCI-E Video Card
2 x DVD drives
6 x SATA drives
Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Disconnect everything except memory & video card
2. Boot motherboard out of the case
3. Reset CMOS via the jumper and by removing the battery
4. Flash BIOS with the newest version
Any ideas?

Fredrik, sorry but it's not nVidia ram

MSI 870-G45 - Hypertransport Sync Flood Error

Oh, dont you just love this error?
Long story short;
New computer, Alls well, start gaming, crashes, "HTSF error".
System Idles and can take less graphically advance games just fine, but lasts 3 seconds in more graphically demanding games. Not the video card. I've Tested it in multiple computers already.
Things I've tried;
lowering the HT-Link frequency to 1800 (x8) and keeping NB-CPU at 2000
Disabled C'n'Q and other power saving utilities
Increased memory voltage
A few people mentioned to disable HPET under power management, but i cant seem to find it =\
Tried updating the BIOS but SureHands Live Update didn't find anything, and I dont know where to DL the archive directly.
I was also told to increase CPU voltage as well, but thought I'd check here first and see what people in the know, know.
Heres the numbers:
CPU-Voltage -- 1.390
CPU_NB-Voltage -- 1.265
DRAM-voltage -- 1.750 (Up from 1.50)
NB-Voltage -- 1.103
SB-Voltage -- 1.196
HT_Link-Voltage -- 1.240
HT-Link frequency -- 1800
NB-CPU frequency -- 2000
Memory Timing 9-9-9-24
And last but not least, My system:
System:
MSI 870-G45 MoBo
AMD Phenom x4 840 3.2Ghz
G.Skill memory DDR3 SDRAM 1333 4Gb x2
500Watt corsair PSU (Was using a 400 watt case PSU before just fine)
Nvidia 9500 GT 1Gb
EDIT:
Could it be the memory? Just noticed that the sticks only supports AMD 790 Chipset while the Mobo is AMD 770 Chipset.

Quote from: Bas on 20-September-11, 14:14:55
Try different brand memory and you know soon enough.
HT errors are hard to find and can be anything from: Memory, CPU, motherboard, videocard to bad powersupply.
Typical they are cause by Memory, videocard or powersupply.
As you are using Gskill, that would be my first to replace with El-Cheapo stick and see what happens.
Even when memtest doesn't error.
I have no spare DDR3 sticks onhand and the stores around here carry the expensive kind only =\
note on the video card though, Noticed mine was missing 2 brass connector pins on the card itself. Looks like they broke off in the old mainboard i had. Pulled my brothers video card and im going to test that in a second.
Also, when I ended the stress test, boy was my system toasty.

Help installing sata drivers for 870-G45

I just noticed Windows 7 64-bit lists my internal sata ii drive as ata in the device manager and also won't autodetect my e-sata usb drive when I connect it. I read that I need an AHCI driver. I have a 870-G45 mobo with AMD RX780 Northbridge and SB710 Southbridge.
So I went to the msi drivers page at http://www.msi.com/product/mb/870-G45.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win7%2064 and downloaded the driver package:
ATI System Drivers for 7xx/8xx/SB7xx/SB8xx Series (except RS690, 740).
When I unzip the downloaded file "ati_system_drive_mb.zip" I get a directory called "AMD" and inside is a program called "Setup.exe"
When I run Setup.exe it wants to install a program called "Catalyst". Is this correct? It says something about managing graphics but I don't have an AMD video card.
Do I have to run Catalyst? I can see some drivers in the folder AMD->Packages->Drivers->SBDrv->SB7xx->AHCI->W764A listed as:
amd_sata.inf
amd_sata.sys
amd_xata.sys
amd_sata.msi
Can I just install these somehow?
Thanks for any help you can offer.

ok, I can explain this better.
I have an internal sata ii drive and an external esata.
Both work but for the external drive when I turn it on I have to go to 'Disk Management" and rescan drives for win7 to pick it up.
Here is my Device Manager:
See both my drives show as ATA even though they are SATA. And I have only IDE controllers listed no SATA controller.
I am trying to get the system to recognize the drives as SATA and use the SATA controller to get better performance.
Also I am trying to install AHCI so that my external drive can be auto recognized.
The only thing in my BIOS regarding AHCI is under "Integrated Peripherals->On-Chip ATA Devices->RAID Mode->AHCI
I assume it needs to be set to AHCI.

MSI 870-G45 AM3 AMD 770 ATX AMD Motherboard/ video problem

yes he did try doing that and i still have the problem
If he tried the VGA in another computer and the problem carried over, it is a bad vga. (So long as there is adequate power)
Do both computers have the same psu? What are the 12v rail amp ratings on the psu's? (Radeon HD 6870 - 28A and a 500W PSU minimum)

Sound problems z77-g45

MSI 870 g45 no post no display

Just got everything in from newegg. Everything is hooked up and connected properly. When I turn it on the lights come on and the fans spin. But I get no post and no display. I have narrowed it down to the powersupply. It has the 20+4 connector, the main rail for the mobo supports all 24 and it does what's stated above. But I noticed the 4 pin for the CPU power has no plug. So I plugged the 4 pin into the CPU power but I just get a flash when the power button is pushed.
Any advice?

That 4 pin from the 20+4 does not go to CPU power. Your PSU has either a single 4 pin, 4+4 or 8 pin that can be separated into 4+4. They will have black and yellow wires only, no other color of wires on CPU power will be on them.
If you still have a prom after properly connecting all of the power cables then remove everything from the case and place on a non-conducting brown cardboard surface, connect everything up again and re-test. Motherboard, 1 memory module in DIMM 1, VGA with 6 pin power 1 or 2 or whatever your VGA has, HDD, ODD.

MOVED: Overclocking Center Locks up 870-G45

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=146575.0

Have you tried resetting your CMOS on your motherboard? try that and see if that helps clear your settings. I really recommend and I know others here will too, that you do all your over clocking from within the BIOS not some application. I also suggest you read and watch the video here ------> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=31222.0

MSI 870-G45 - Can't get into BIOS

So, just built myself a new pc.
It posts, and I have some output on the screen upon boot up, like I see that its detecting my sata hd/dvd drive and everything. Like the topic name says, I can't get into the BIOS. When it posts, its detecting my keyboard and everything, but it simply hangs at the post screen and I cannot get into the BIOS at all for whatever reason that is beyond me. I've tried 2 keyboards, one ps/2 and a usb keyboard, nothing on either (the usb is one I went to wal-mart and got today as I guessed the ps/2 wasn't working correctly or whatever).
Tried clearing CMOS (taking out the battery, resetting the jumper and everything). Still got nothing.
Heres a link to a pic of what output I do have. http://img858.imageshack.us/i/img20110313152042.jpg/ (sorry, don't know how to embed pics into a forum board, not that familiar)

I mean, I'm using a usb keyboard. Should I try a PS/2? I mean I've tried clearing the CMOS a handful of times to no avail, nothing. It just simply hangs at that screen and says CMOS settings are wrong.
I thought you said you'd already tried a PS/2 keyboard and it still hangs?

I'm using brass standoffs, I think one near each corner screwed in and one post-type near the center.
Never think! Be 100% sure!
That your standoffs match the board holes, no more no less (those holes with tin circle around them).
Timings should be set on auto-settings. And certainly those aren't good as they are meant for Intel not AMD.

New homebuilt system lock ups.

So, I've asked this on a few other sites with no avail, so I thought I might as well try here.
Yesterday I helped my friend build a computer, and all went well until we tried installing Win7. The problem is the computer keeps locking up inconsistently. After running the installer a few times, it locked up anywhere from before the installer even begins to almost the end of the installer. Same issue with an Ubuntu live CD. It normally locks up sometime during the splash screen. When I force it to boot in text only mode, it usually can get to the desktop for a while before locking up. It's even locked up during a few of the bootable diagnostic tests I've tried.
So far, by testing these parts on different systems, I've eliminated the Harddrive, optical drive, and video card as possibly causing the lockup. I've run several tests off of the Ultimate boot CD. Memory test passed (though during it's 3rd pass it locked up). I've had the CPU running a floating-point stress test for an hour, and it hasn't hiccuped at all.
The only error message I've ever received from this thing is a "hypertransport sync flood" error. It's only come up twice out of the dozens of times it's locked up. I've heard that raising the RAM voltage can fix this, but I'm not sure how safe it is.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

From my testing, the other parts should not be related to the crashing.

Ok sorry it helps when I read your entire post....
I know how to fix this
you will continue to keep getting this until you get all the microsoft updates , forget calling MSI or your chip set company they will not give you the answer you need , I have been there , they are no use for help with this issue
Go to MSI updater and Flash the Bios it is easy to do just follow the steps, you dont need to be an expert to do this windows will do it for you.
Then continue to keep updating windows it will be a slow painful process but it will fix the issue. I have built several systems all with the same problem, it took me several months of reading post after post, until I figured it out on my own.
