- I've updated to the latest bios version and still have the same issue.
Sound does not come from speaker's, but form the board itself.

That... Sorry, just watched it, as I didn't do it before.
It's quite normal (I'd say). In my case, it comes through headphones. Disable/disconnect all headphones/speakers (sound based devices) and see if it occurs again.
It doesn't always happen but think it's some like power discharge when suddenly my headphones lose power (yes USB+Jack) they just go like so.
Yes! That was it, it's when I have a USB headset/speakers in. Ah, you legend. My mind is at rest now. Thank you.

  • GTX 970 + MSI Gaming 5 Z97 No post.

    Hopefully someone can help me out.
    I am trying to use a brand new MSI Gaming 5 z97 mb with a Msi GTX 970 4G video card  and have run into an issue. I can boot the system with the integrated video with no issue but if I put the card into the system I barely get a flash of power when I press the power button. The system will not even post.
    I am using an AX 650 Corsair PSU, also brand new, I replace the old AX 650 Corsair PSU as part of the troubleshooting.
    Any ideas? I am really loathe to RMA this card and be out of decent video for x days / weeks.
    Thanks!

    Did you try to clear CMOS?
    Are you able to test different graphics card in your system? Ask a friend or a neighbour for this.
    What if you try single RAM stick?
    Also: inspect CPU socket looking for bent pins. Use magnifying glass and bright light, or take close and accurate photos and then inspect those. (I suggest this before last part)
    You could try to update to BIOS 1.9
    http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z97-GAMING-5.html#down-bios
    Make sure to use MFlash+ME Update. And follow the instructions on the website. Make sure that the system is stable (so best with single RAM stick and without the graphics card).

  • MSI Gaming 5 Z97 -- major issues, currently A2-error

    Hey there,
    I very much hope someone is able to assist on this one; I feel I have literally tried everything already, and would hate to go through the struggle of returning one or more faulty components. My specifications are as follows -- please note that this is a whole new build and that I have yet to install Windows. I have not been able to reach the BIOS; at every attempt I have been met with no display. I have tested the monitor on several other computers, everything works accordingly.
    MOBO: Z97 Gaming 5, MSI
    GPU: GigaByte GTX 980
    CPU: Intel i7-4790K
    RAM: DDR3 4x4GB 2400-11 XMP Beast Kingston
    Furthermore, I am running two WD Green 3TBs and 1 Samsung 500GB SSD as storage.
    First issue: A sequence of errors: 55 10 19 and 15. I removed all RAM and tested slot by slot - no change. I placed them all back and it somehow - magically - fixed it. However, once I get past 55, I am met with some real issues - seemingly unfix-able (this is where you guys come in  ). I am currently booting alright (presumably), but I cannot get any further than 62 - 99 - A2. I have no idea how to solve A2.
    All suggestions is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    EDIT: This is strange; I let the computer run whilst typing this message. In the meantime it changed from A2 to showing just the temperature (which was 46 and sounds *very* strange and way to high, but that is another problem for another time). I am not sure what caused this, but I was not shown anything on the monitor regardless. Again, there's nothing installed on the computer.

    What's the BIOS version, PSU (brand and model, Wattage), OC on CPU, cooler?
    Did you try without the graphics card?
    Try >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    Also leave HDD/SSD that has OS on it, disconnect the rest.

  • MSI Gaming 7 z97 audio crackling and noisy

    Hi everyone. Today i start my PC but no sound. I turn up volume and then there was lots of cracking and popping. Was like interference or something.
    Yesterday all was fine so i don't know why. I didn't update any driver, install program, or anything. The sound is bad also in the back port. I use stereo headphones btw.
    I've already tried to unistall and reinstalla driver, tried it under ubuntu (i use Win 8.1), with and without audio boost, other headphones, different audio tracks and audio program, Youtube, secondary bios, disconnecting front audio.
    What can i do? Audio only works with AMD driver on my monitor via HDMI, but not with headphones. Do you think that my onboard audio is broken?
    I'm pretty frutrated about it, this is my second mobo, the first one has BIOS issue, i hope that RMA won't be necessary but...
    Can you help me?

    Already tried with clearing cmos and even with secondary bios, but it happened suddently. Saturday it works, on sunday no. Inside my case is clear, i've cleared it some weeks ago. Some dust, but nothing special.
    Strange thing is that both front and back doesn't works. It was untouched because i went to bed and then when i woke up it just doesn't work.
    I'll try outside but seems strange though. If i've made some change it would be ok, but in this case i don't know what to think. Ghosts? 
    It isn't windows, because elsewere ubuntu would work, but it doesn't. Isn't bios, isn't case cable, isn't any program...
    This is my second faulty Gaming 7..

  • MSI Gaming 5 Z97 White

    It's just a simple and quick question. But does anyone know where to get this edition?
    Cheers!

    This colour scheme for this motherboard doesn't exist. If any motherboard from MSI is B&W, it has "Krait Edition" added to its name.
    You may have not seen but someone also made a green version of Z87 Gaming one

  • MSI Gaming 5 Z97 CPUFAN2 header pwm?

    Hi,
    Can i use the second cpu fan header to control a pwm fan all the way down to 12.5%? I currently don't have any PWM fans to use and I don't think i can control 3 pins from it at all?
    thanks,

    Quote from: Nichrome on 26-December-14, 04:28:27
    Hi,
    CPUFAN header indeed requires 4 (pwm) fan otherwise 3 pin will run @100% all the time.
    Not sure if you can go down to 12.5%, but surely down to 25%.
    That would explain everything. Thanks a lot Nichrome, i can now safely buy a higher rpm fan without worrying about being able to slow it down enough.
    Merry Christmas

  • MSI Gaming 5 Z97 00 Error Code after Bios Flash

    Was using a USB for bios flash through the uefi bios. I chose ME flash, and it flashed ME then rebooted and then flashed the bios and then it finally rebooted but to a black screen. After a few minutes, I restart the computer and it has an 00 error code now. I removed the graphics card and cleared the CMOS.

    Quote from: HighMans on 05-October-14, 04:04:37
    I flipped the PSU off, I always do that.
    remove the power cord itself from the electrical outlet
    after that proceed with >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

    Here are the standard BIOS codes. http://www.ami.com/support/doc/AMI_Aptio_4.x_Status_Codes_PUB.pdf
    codes in the 50s are memory related. Codes in the 40s (pure numerics are not part of the current AMI status codes.
    Without knowing whether a screen has been connected and what is displayed on the screen, we don't know at what stage the post/BIOS boot is in. That 45 could well be the CPU temp at this stage 
    Initial system build should have been done outside the case with one mem module, HDD (i.e. barebones) only to ensure everything starts up, at least into the BIOS. Only then is it time to mount the MB in the case. Makes life much easier to fault trace.

  • Ram compatibility on gaming 3 z97 MB

    Hey guys, i am going to buy MSI Gaming 3 (Z97) and there is in specifications this
    Memory DDR3: 1066/1333/1600/1866*/2000*/2133*/2200*/2400*/2600*/2666*/2800*/3000*/3100*/3200*/3300*(*OC) MHz
    i wonder if i could mount following memmory in this board without any problems in compatibility or bottlenecking
    Memmory: Corsair 8GB KIT DDR3 1866MHz CL9 Red Vengeance Low Profile
    Thanks for help

    Hi,
    Should be no problem with this RAM. Though as mentioned by the spec, anything above 1600MHz is OC which is not guaranteed by MSI it will work (it's CPU memory controller and RAM compatibility debate rather than motherboard)
    Though I am happy owner of Corsair RAM that is apparently 1600MHz (on the box) but runs flawlessly at 2133MHz

  • Strange Noise from MSI GTX 770 Gaming

    I recently bought a MSI GTX 770 Gaming and it makes a strange noise. It doesn't sound like coil whine to me, more of a clicking. I also don't think its the fans as it makes the exact same noise regardless of fan speeds. However, it does seem directly related to load, the higher the clock speed the louder it gets.
    See the below video for the noise, if you listen carefully you can hear towards the end where it transitions from high load -> low load -> high light again.
    Should I be concerned?

    Board:        Asus P6T Deluxe v2
    VGA:           MSI GTX 770 Gaming
    PSU:           Corsair HX750 +3.3V@25A, +5V@25A, +12V@62A, [email protected], +5VSB@3A
    Processor:  Intel Core i7 920 @ 4.0
    MEM:          Corsair Dominator 1600 3x2gb
    HDD:          Samsung Pro 256gb SSD
    COOLER:   Corsair H80i
    OS:            Windows 7 64bit Professional
    It is definitely not the fans. The noise is irrelevant to fan speed. Also, did you copy the youtube link? I've heard coil whine and this does not sound the same. It's strange and seems to be coming from the PCB.

  • MSI z77A-G43 C1E enabled and strange noise from cpu area ?

    MSI z77A-G43 C1E enabled and strange noise from cpu area ? What will be the problem? When I disabled it there is no sound. BUt when I enabled it there is a strange noise while moving my mouse cursor or when there is some CPU activity, sounds like a squeeking or scratching, a bit like hdd activity, but barely noticeable. It looks like it's coming from the area around the cpu socket, must be something on the motherboard. is there a solution other than just disabling it? I want to be able to make C1E enable but cant bare this noise so I have to turn it of....

    Sound like some electrical sound produced by current going through that area.
    Try contacting MSI support for more help.

  • Geforce 5900 makes strange noises!

    I've just bought MSI GeForce 5900 and installed it in my computer (MSI KT3 Ultra2 main board).
    The graphic card seems to be working okay, when it comes to performance and stuff like that, but the card is making some strange noises. The problem occurs when I'm scrolling the window of Internet Explorer by using my mouse or keyboard up/down buttons. Then I hear these (hard to describe) "scratchy" sounds coming from my card   !
    What can be the cause of this?
    I've searched the internet for some answers, and I actually found couple of people having the same/similar problem with their 5900 / 5900 Ultra cards (different manifacturers), and they don't have any clue how to solve this.
    Did anyone here experience the similar problem, and most important - do you know the cure?
    This is just great. I wasn't satisfied with Radeon 9600XT because of its crappy drivers, and now that I returned it and got myself this nVidia card, I got these problems instead. I sure hope I'll not be forced to return this one as well. Please help, or I'm gonna get crazy soon.  
    Thanks in advance!

    I got the gforce fx 5600 I it dont make no stupid noise watsoever ok?
    Well, I've found several people with the same problem, so I don't think something is "wrong" with my card in particular. I've partially managed to disable these sounds (disabling "Smooth scrolling" in IE), which, by the way, are not THAT annoying, and I'm gonna do some couple more tricks until I finally decide whether I'm going to keep the card or not.
    If I decide to NOT to keep it, I'll probably swap it for a FX 5700 Ultra.
    I'm sorry, but the FX 5600 (ultra?) that you are suggesting, simply has no horse power enough to handle the tasks that I'm exlusively need a graphic card for - GAMING.

  • The Crew –Racing with Your Coolest MSI Gaming Motherboard and Graphics Card

    Most gaming fans are crazy about racing games, and there is a new game title just launched to fulfill gamers’ dream. We want to share with you the experience from Taiwan user who assembles a rig with a brand new MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card, along with a hardware and game (The Crew) benchmarks. You may find the original article from:
    https://forum-tc.msi.com/index.php?topic=113352.0
    The Crew - Launch Trailer
    PC configuration:
    CPU: Intel i5-4670K
    RAM: Avexir DDR3-1600 8G*2
    VGA: MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G
    SSD: Kingston HyberX 3K SSD 240G
    CPU Cooler: SilverStone AR01
    The MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard box
    Overview of the motherboard: Black and Red color scheme, it’s also the favorite color combination from MSI’s user reservation.
    The PCI-E slots and bandwidth are enough for a two-way SLI setting.
    Killer Ethernet, outstanding performance on internet access, especially reduce the lag issue.
    The new arrival MSI GTX960 GAMING 2G graphics card
    New cooling design: ZeroFrozr
    The dragon symbol on LED panel
    With MSI Gaming series motherboard plus graphics card, you can enable a Gaming App to overclock CPU and GPU. There are 3 modes to choose.
    6-month free trail of the XSplit game caster software, free bundled with MSI gaming motherboard and graphics card
    Done with assembling, quiet nice color combination and clean cable arrangement.
    An overview of the very gaming look system.
    Some benchmark results before racing with The Crew.
    CPU and GPU info on CPU-Z and GPU-Z applications:
    3DMark Fire Strike score: 6441
    3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score: 3384
    3DMark Fire Strike Ultra score:1262
    The excel performance proof the brand new 960 graphics card comes with good a high Cost/Performance Value.
    Now, check out this test benchmark score of the renowned game “The Crew”.
    The game presents an ultra-quality display, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS)
    FPS: Average frames is at:
    Frames: 3859 - Time: 76828ms - Avg: 50.229 - Min: 43 - Max: 56
    The comments of the game for your reference:
    There are many types of missions that can be chosen from the America’s map.
    Street racing, high-speed collision, breakaway from police, sky jumps, zigzagging, etc… make the game quite dynamic.
    Now, when it comes to multi-player matches, the performance has exceeded expectations. Perhaps, it is the killer Ethernet that’s working the magic. Thus, this game is highly recommended if you have the right rig.
    The downside is that the display intricacy is not as refined as GTA V and in addition, the game FPS is limited at 60 FPS. However, the overall gaming flow and performance is better than good.
    The user's comment for using MSI Gaming 5 motherboard and 960 graphics card:
    (The following commends are translated from user’s article, does not represent the viewpoint of MSI) ^^
    Recently, MSI GTX 960 just launched so the initial price tag is still adjustable.
    According to the current product line, it seems like this GPU is going to replace 750Ti. So once all the stocks (750Ti) at the store empties, we are most likely to see a price drop on GTX960.
    Once the price hits the sweet spot, it’s time to try out GTX960 SLI’s performance.
    The CP value on MSI GTX960 and GAMING 5 MB is pretty high. But the XSplit software that comes with the product is a bit annoying since the authentication steps are divided into 2 parts to go through for using it.     
    Enough said, anyways, GAME ON!

    NVIDIA 960 card  + GAMING 5 motherboard = best bundle for budget gaming!
    it would be nice to see more testing of hardware-demanding games!

  • AP54G generates a strange noise while operating

    Hello guys!
    Is that normal, that my MSI AP54G Access Point generates a silent, strange noise (like a TV when there's no signal), while it is operating? I noticed it one or two days ago and I don't know, whether it is a normal thing or not. Ummm... I think, I have to tell you, that some days ago I dropped the AP (accidentally) from about one meter high... so I think that can be the reason why the AP emits such a strange noise. Anyway, it is operating perfectly, it has a very strong and stable signal and I'm fully satisfied with it, but I'm afraid, that this noise could cause some trouble in the future, for example burn down the AP or even explode it?
    Thanks for your help!
    Greetings:
    Gery

    Thanks... you are very helpful...
    Don't you guys use this AP? I'm the only one, who uses it? Well, I think not.
    And what about you guys working for MSI?? You don't read the forum of your own company??
