Num Lock on at boot on Z77A-GD65 board?

Is there anyway to have num lock enabled on boot on the Z77A-GD65 board? I don't seem to see any options in the bios configs for this, thanks!

I have a z77a-gd80 and don't have any option for such, but my keyboard boots with number lock enabled by default. Perhaps try a different keyboard?
Here is a way to fix the registry to enable it at windows login.

Varying boot times - Z77A-GD65

I have a new build and find that the boot times seem to vary for no apparent reason. Most of the time I will see the MSI splash screen within 15 seconds and then it boots quickly into windows. However, some times it will hang up on codes A2, B4, C3, or CA for up to 45 seconds before the splash screen appears and then it boots fine. I will note that no matter how long the boot takes, the system runs flawlessly and has never crashed or had any odd behavior other than the varying boot times. I see from the manual that A2 and B4 are Onboard Devices Initialize and Detect, but this happens randomly without changing any of the onboard devices. I ran memtest86 on the ram for over 12 hours and 6 passes and got no errors.
Anyone else have this experience or any suggestions on what may be causing it? I'm OK with it if others have the same experience and it is normal. I'm just concerned that it is a sign of some sort of problem.
First post, thanks in advance.

I tried disabling the PCIE GEN3 and I don't think it helped. I did a few restarts and still got a hang up on CA, whatever that is. Thanks for the codes. The most common ones I get seem to be:
A2 - IDE Detect
B2 - Legacy Option ROM initialization
B4 - USB Hot plug
C3 or C6 - OEM BDS Initialization Code
CA - no idea
The strangest thing is that I would say 7 out of 10 times it starts up perfect. The other 3 it will hang on something, but then it still boots and runs perfect. It just strikes me odd that I can make no changes whatsoever and it can go from perfect to hanging up. If anyone has any other suggestions for any of those codes, please feel free to respond. Thanks.

X75-A Num Lock Change on Boot in Windows 8.1

Hello,
I have an X75-A System and with Windows 8.1 and when it boots clean from the off position, the Num Lock Key is off by default. Is there a way to change that to be on? I didn't see any settings in the BIOS or in searching on the boards, the settings that were suggested (Torn off Fast Save) did not work. I will not change the Registry Entries.

You can bypass the logon screen (and also the lock screen) if you like. We do that on all our PCs.
Otherwise, it's the registry fix that frightens you.

How to set the NUM LOCK on at boot (mac mini)

Its most convenient for us to have NUM LOCK set to "on" at boot up.
But how to do this?
I'm used to PCs where this can be pre-set in the BIOS. How to make it work with a MAC MINI?
We do have an Apple keyboard ( the slim metal wired variety with numeric keypad...)

G505S Set Num Lock on at boot?

I just bought a G505S and an annoying bit is that Num Lock is set off by default. Usually this would be a 10 second fix in the BIOS, as on my last 10-15 computers, but this new craptacular UEFI BIOS has almost NO user changeable options.. Anyone know of a way to turn on Num Lock prior to logon any other way? Or Hint Hint: Lenovo release a new updated BIOS?
Thanks for the help.
Aaron

Hi Aaron,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to inform you that in UEFI BIOS settings that NUM lock cannot be Enabled/Disabled in G505S also there is no other available ways to turn it on at the startup.
Do post us back for further queries.
Best Regards

Overclocking the z77a-gd65 board

Hello my new found friends (I hope).I am new to both these forums and overclocking but I'm willing to learn. I have a msi z77a-gd65 mobo, 32 gigs crucial memory with an i7 3770k cpu rated at 3.5 GHz. I also have a corsair H80i cpu liquid cpu cooler. Right now the cpu is running at 4.2 GHz but I would like to try to go higher manually if I can. If any body can help with easy to follow instructions on how to do this I will be extremely grateful.

I recommend searching the threads that specialize in the 'Turbo' OC method. Ivy CPU's are not super OC'ers on conventional cooling solutions, but excellent performance can be pulled out of them in the 44X-45X range and still keep all the power saving features intact as well. CPU V. left alone to work on Auto is recommended. Initially for testing, set VDRoop to 100%. Disable EuP 2013, Overspeed Protection, and Spread Spectrum.

Boot issue with Z77A-GD65

I have a Z77A-GD65 board with 16GB of DDR3 RAM (4x4GB DIMMS) and an I5 Ivy Bridge CPU, Samsung 830 128GB SSD and 2x 4TB HDD's.
Last night my system was working perfectly. Today it won't boot into an OS.
When I would power up the system this morning, it started went through the Intel Matrix RAID BIOS fine then did a few status codes in the bottom right and ended up on A2 as the current code and sat there forever... I let it set for 15 minutes about no change.
I pulled the HDD's and SSD off first, same code
I pulled the USB and ethernet now the code changed to D0 still nothing, just hangs there.
I switched the BIOS switch to the second one, same result.
I pulled the BIOS battery and power and let it sit for a while, plugged it back in and put the battery back in... same result..
What's going on? I'm not sure where to go nor do I know the exact meaning of the codes given

Quote from: Svet on 15-September-14, 23:25:51
what is your bios version?
The BIOS that went nuts was A.B0, I did get it to boot though, just not with that BIOS...
I pulled all the cards, all the memory, anything plugged in HDD/SDD etc.. only thing left was onboard DVI and keyboard... cleared the CMOS again with the back button and it went into a never ending reboot loop.... switched it to the second bios via the switch on the motherboard, cleared the CMOS again, and bingo it booted... I think that BIOS 1 is corrupt... not sure what caused it, haven't done any updates or anything since A.B0 came out. And haven't made any hardware changes in that time either... worked great until this morning turned it on and boom It was stuck at A2 on the BIOS startup.
My question now is, how do I reflash BIOS 1? I read somewhere before I think that I have to do a multi bios update, but not sure how to go about doing that.

Z77A-GD65 throwing B2 code

So I've got this Z77A-GD65 board I've had a bit over a year now, today I obtained my new 760 GTX and attempted to place it in and upon booting back up the system it started throwing a B2 code both on-screen (the GPU by all visual intents works) and on the mobo status display.
Now I searched around and found a few suggestions, the main one of which I attempted was to 'reset' the CMOS between changing cards (something about some form of hardware memory, seemed odd to me but I figured what the hell). Unfortunately this didn't really resolve anything and actually bugged my primary UEFI out to where it would boot up, then cycle booting a few times, so I switched it to the secondary (which I had actually never used previous).
So that one still did the same thing, threw the B2 code as soon as it booted, on the mobo and on screen, just sat there and threw beeps every 30 seconds or so. So took the card out and put back in my 560Ti and voila, here I am, the 560Ti is working fine still and the system booted up (under the secondary anyways).
So is there any thing that anyone can think of that might cause the 760 GTX to not work right? I really don't think it's the card itself since it was at the very least putting actual video to the screen, and while the B2 code seems to cover quite a few things since it's working with the 560Ti back in I don't think it's any of the other potential problems.
Only major differences I can think between the two other than the 2GB vs 4GB (560Ti vs 760 GTX) is that the 760 is PCIe 3.0 while the 560Ti was PCIe 2.0, but the mobo is supposed to be PCIe 3.0.
Other general system info;
CPU: i5 2500K
RAM: 32 Gigs of Corsair XMS3 1600
OS: Windows 7 (not sure this is really relevant, at all, in any which way since it's all pre-boot but just in case)
Any other info needed just ask away.

Yes, sorry I mis-read.
Good thing the flash didn't succeed.
AA0 flash seemed to work but it apparently changed enough some how that my windows install is now defunct on my SSD, lol. It's complaining about improper paths and stuff.
Any idea to this or am I just gonna have to reinstall windows on it? I already tried re-ordering the boot list (since the new BIOS had some sort of "UEFI Hard Drive, etc" stuff up front of everything.
Edit: It's actually apparently not booting -anything-, I can't even get it to boot into the USB drive now...
The update said it was successful and by all intents i can get into the BIOS and crap, but I have no idea what to do now.
Edit Edit: Okay so did another CMOS reset, seems more or less functional to 'boot' but the SSD is still dead in the water. Now it's saying "Please reboot and select a proper boot device" or something along those lines, rather than the "Windows path etc etc". I've hooked the SSD into my hotswap dock and like it seems structurally intact, the files are fine but maybe something in the BIOS/UEFI upgrade goofed up it's MBT?

MSI z77a-gd65 error 55 with 4 DIMMs installed

While I did find another thread similar to my issue mine is a little different as all slots are functional.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=158224.msg1162108#msg1162108
If I install 4 DIMMs the board shows "55" on the debug LEDs. If I take out any two DIMMs (slots 1,3 or slots 2,4) the system boots fine and is completely stable. I can also have either pair install to either set of slots. I also made sure the memory timing, voltage, etc. where set correctly in the BIOS.
Any suggestions?

That it works when slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 are used, points to a problem an updated UEFI/BIOS may or may not resolve. Recommend to contact MSI Technical with your findings and see what they recommend or have to say about it;

Well it appears to be a problem with the RAM. I just happen to be building another system with an asrock board and 16GB of G.Skill RAM. swapped RAM into my system and the G.Skill works perfectly in my z77a-gd65 board with all four slots populated. The Corsair RAM produces the exact same behavior when install in the asrock board. I'm just going to RMA the RAM.

Z77a-gd65 sound interference using uefi

Good Morning all,
I have today installed windows 8 on my z77a-gd65 board using windows 8 fast boot uefi features in the bios. Everything is great apart from one thing - I have terrible interference on my speakers plugged in to the green port on the back of the motherboard.
I have reinstalled windows 8 without using windows 8 fast boot uefi and the problem dissapears.
I have tried to use spread spectrum and this does not help.
This sound interference is when using the mouse also and when scrolling.
Setup -
z77a-gd65 bios 10.8
intel celeron g540
onboard graphics
samsung ssd 840 120gb

Did you have this issue with a previous windows installation?
Have you tried uninstalling the drivers while in safe mode then re-installing the most recent from here:

SATA controller on MSI Z77A-GD65

Hi there
I have an MSI Z77A-GD65 board and sometimes my computer takes several minutes to boot into a working OS despite the fact that the OS is on an SSD. I have this same issue with normal, platter drives. This issue does not occur all the time, but when it does occur, the entire system is indescribably slow.
I have unplugged hard drives, swapped ports around, etc. and this does not seem to help. I suspect the Intel SATA controller is out of wack. Using the very latest drivers. Can anyone with similar experiences perhaps assist to shed light on this very weird issue?

Are you running in AHCI mode?
If so, try flashing the bios to either the latest bios or full release. We have both posted here:
>>Beta BIOSes<<
Be sure to use the forum flash tool and follow the directions so that the ME extension is flashed as well.

Need help with clickbios ii terminolgy and values. Z77A-GD65 / 3770k

Hello All
I recently purchased a Z77A-GD65 board and after searching I've found the differences in terminology between this and my previous Asus board but still have a couple of settings I cant find any info on.
System Specs:
motherboard: msi z77a-gd65
cpu: intel 3770k
ram: corsair vengeance 2133mhz 1.5v
psu: corsair 850w
First things first is I believe I am running in turbo oc mode. I've selected the oc genie tab on the center right of the bios screen and proceeded to change settings there. With cpu voltage on auto and vdroop set to 50% at 4.6ghz. (I'll try and get screenshots of bios settings soon)
The following are the terms I need help with:
In the my oc genie section;
1. Long duration power limit
2. Long duration maintained
3. Short duration power limit
In the main overclocking section;
4. Digital Compensation level (not in owners manual, options auto/high)
5. Cpu core ocp expander (enabled for overclock 4.5ghz+?)
In the CPU Features section;
6. long duration power limit w (does "w" stand for watts?)
7. long duration maintained s (does "s" stand for seconds?)
8. short duration power limit
9. primary plane current limit a (does "a" stand for amps?)
10. secondary plane current limit
11. primary plane turbo power limit
12. secondary plane turbo power
I know those are a lot of settings, but would appreciate any simple definitions as to what they do and recommended values for mild overclocking (4.5-4.80)
Also on my previous board (Asus P8P67 Pro) my 3770k was stable in prime95 for 18 hrs at 4.5ghz fixed 1.155v with only ram timings put in manually and LLC set to extreme.(or whatever max is called in asus bios) Voltage was fixed and everything else was defailts.

Well I'm back. Been digging around for a few days and found some answers to my questions.
First things first s that for some reason I could not adjust voltage values with the + or - symbols. Clearing cmos did not help this. I had to reflash the bios to get this functionality back as well as clearing cmos before and after the flash.
So I figured out the values in the oc genie section are the same as the normal section but only used when your using the oc genie. (numbers 1-3)
Digital compensation level and ocp expander should be set to high and enabled respectively when going for higher overclocks. (4 and 5)
Now for the rest of my questions ( 6 through 12) I have found suggested settings and some info after hours and hours of searching but still have a couple of questions about them.
Long/short duration power limit, and primary/secondary plane turbo limit. I see suggestion settings of 250 or 255. I take it this is simply max supplied watts to the chip? If so why the 250/255 values? Is that the highest the board will give? Is plane turbo limit related to the enhanced turbo stated and how much wattage can be drawn there while the other limit is for any non turbo frequencies?
Long duration maintained, I've seen 60 suggested a lot. Why is this?
There's not an over abundance of info on these boards as compared to asus so it seems info is a little less documented and video tutorials explaining things are next to none.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Z77A-GD65 + MSI Control Center (version 2.5.053) = FAN speed control issue

OK,
I've got Z77A-GD65 board and I am using MSI Control Center (version 2.5.053). I have one fan connected to CPU fan header and another fan connected to System Fan1 header on the motherboard. The problem is that while trying to use Smart fan control in MSI Control Center (under Green Power tab) only CPU fan changes speed according to load and the one connected to System Fan1 always stays at the same "System Fan1 Min" set speed. In BIOS the system fan1 is set to auto as all other options are constant speed from 50% to 100%, both fans have 4 wires, so they can change speed. I want both fans to change speed according to CPU load. I know I can use Y (split) cable to connect both fans to the same CPU fan header but I would like to avoid this if possible.
Anybody experiencing the same thing? Issue with bios? Control center bug?

As long as the amps of the two fans doesn't exceed the limit for the CPU fan header, go ahead and use a splitter. Not positive, but believe the fan header amp limit is 1A?
