P67A-G43 select boot device issue with GTX 970

I recently tried to install a new GTX 970 and ran into an issue where I am asked to select the boot device every time I boot the pc. I uninstalled the driver for my video card before installing it. The system appears to be stable once it boots into Windows. However, when I swap back to the GTX 760, that was in the system previously, it boots straight into Windows without having to select the boot device? I have seen lots of issues on the forum about the 970 and older boards but nothing specific to mine. I am currently have BIOS version 1.A0 installed. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Yes, you need to update. Following the below updates to latest official bios (5.4 aka E7673IMS.540)
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
     A.) Download >>this archive<< and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
     B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
     C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
     D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
     E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
     F.) Boot to the USB 
     G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
     H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt81_win78_xp.zip

  • Please select boot device

    When I turn my PC on, a blue screen comes up and asks me to"please select boot device". It reads" ST1000528aAS, HP CDDVDW TS-H653T, and Realtek PXE B03 D00. I'm not really sue what to do and I don't want to do anything to mess up my PC. Can anyone tell why this is doing this and to fix it? Thanks for the help.

  • X99S GAMING 9 AC Not booting - Debug 94 code - Issue with GTX 980 SLI in WoW

    Hello, I bought the X99S GAMING 9 AC motherboard but have ran into some issues.
    The computer won't boot when I put my second MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4 GB card in the last PCEI 3.0 port (PCIE port 5) and I get the debug LED message 94 on the motherboard. I have a SLI setup.
    The first card I have in the second PCIE 3.0 port due to the Noctua U14S CPU fan takes up space for the first slot. So I have been running my grafic cards in PCIE slot 2 and 4 with some issues.
    First the card in slot 2 gets really warm over 86 celsius. And second: SLI runs really poorly in World of Warcraft. I get a lot higher performance with just one card activated. I am not sure if it's cause I am not running my cards in the recommended PCIE 3.0 ports or because WoW has some issues with SLI, but I heard other people have no issues at all with WoW in SLI.
    I got the same issue with 3Dmark firestrike, the cards perform really poor in SLI. I get higher score with SLI turned off..
    Though SLI seems to run pretty well in 3dmark 11 and Diablo 3 Reaper of Souls.
    But the main issue right now, is that the computer won't boot with the grafic cards in PCIE port 2 and 5. The solution to run them next to each other is not good, cause it gets really hot and I get bad performance in WoW and Firestrike.
    Picture of my setup before I switched places with the grafic cards as you can see, it is really tight:
    Any upcoming bios updates (got v1.3) that will solve this issue on the horization? Hopefully this get sorted out really soon..
    My whole computer setup:
    Intel i7 5820K | MSI X99S Gaming 9 AC (bios 1.3) | SLI MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4GB | Samsung 850 Pro 512 GB | WD Red 4TB | G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 3000MHz 4x4GB | EVGA SuperNOVA P2 1000W | Noctua NH-U14S PnP | Fractal Design Define XL R2 | 5 Noctua NF-A14 PWM 140mm fans | Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

    You must use the recommended PCIE slots as the manual says for your CPU type, PCIE #1 and PCIE #4 if I remember, just open the manual :P for optimal 2Way SLI, also your 5820k will limit to 28 pcie lanes only if you plan to add more vgas...the other problem is your giant CPU air cooler blocking PCIE#1, do a favor to yourself, buy a watercooler for your 5820k and your problems are gone, add some overclock in your system, low noise and better temps.
    Here I use 3x980 in SLI with X99S Gaming 9 AC, going soon to WC the VGAs with EK blocks.....3way is far more temperature critical than 2way spaced one.
    Cheers

    Hello all,
    I have this weird issue with cold booting while overclocking. I've tried very hard to diagnose the problem but have been unable to find the culprit.
    So I'm using an i5-2500k with the mobo in the subject. I have flashed the BIOS to the latest (2.4). So everytime I try to overclock by using a different multi (it can be as subtle has x34) the system will fail the overclock while cold booting. What I mean by that is if I do the overclock from the bios then save&reboot it will load in windows and be totally stable under IBT. I can achieve any kind of overclock up to 4.7 Ghz and it will be totally stable.
    BUT, as soon as I do a shutdown of the system, upon booting (cold boot), the computer will try to boot but fail at it. I'll be prompted by the bios to reload default.
    I've tried various combinaisons to no avail. I even tried to underclock the processor to sub x33. I don't understand what could be wrong. It seems as soon as I switch to anything else then auto on the ratio, it won't boot from shutdown. Weird.
    Thanks in advance for your inputs.

  • S10-3: Change BIOS boot device sequence with + - keys does'nt work

    I want to boot my IdeaPad S10-3 from an USB HDD.
    In the default BIOS setting this is the 4th or 5th line in the boot device list.
    The help instructions in the right column of the BIOS page tell me to use the <+> and <-> keys to move an entry up or down. When I do this, the BIOS only responds with annoyed beeps.
    If the keys refer to a numeric keypad: there is none, and neither an indication how to map one onto the existing keys.
    Is this Netbook delivered with a BIOS that was designed for other PCs ?
    A workaround is to press <x> twice on a device above the desired boot device:
    The 1st press excludes the device, the 2nd press moves it to the end of the list.
    In this Forum I have found hints that "incorrect" changes of the boot device list may disable the internal harddisk, but I can't find precise definitions of "correct" changes that avoid this.
    Do I miss something or this just an improper BIOS ?

    Hi KalvinKlein,
    before I received your new Info about Fn+Insert , I had once more checked Fn-F7 : no effect in the BIOS.
    I have also tried all non-character keys plus the "Umlaute"-keys on the German keyboard with the following result:
    The key right of the "0" shifts boot device entries down in the list.
    On the German keyboard this key is labelled with " ß ? \ ".
    The next key on the right and left of the "Backward-Erase"-key, labelled with " ´ ` ",
    pressed together with the Shift-key, moves list entries up.
    Using these keys I have then set the Boot device sequence according to your suggestion :
    1: USB CDROM
    2: USB HDD
    3: HDD
    My USB-Memory stick (with BartPE installed) had been recognized as a USB HDD.
    After saving with F10 and <Return> the Netbook responded with a Beep and nothing further happened.
    I had to switch it off with a long press on the Power Button.
    Switched on again, <F2> pressed, BIOS checked,, o.k. <ESC>,
    loads Ramdisk image of BartPE from the USB-stick,
    starts BartPE with XPE.
    Checking available drives in the Windows Explorer resulted in :
    RAMDISK ( "B:" )                (used by BartPE for temporary storage)
    USB ("C:")                         (the USB-stick with the BartPE-iso file)
    "Wechseldatenträger / Removable storage device"           obviously refers to an unused USB-Port
    -volid ("X:") "CD-drive"    but actually another Ramdisk containing the expanded and running BartPE package
    The internal harddisk is not visible !
    I wonder whether this is a problem of the BIOS or whether I require special harddisk drivers (Intel Matrix Storage manager/driver or  possibly AHCP drivers) for Windows XP, because my present BartPE version is based on XP, while the Netbook came with Windows 7 Starter Edition.
    Further helpful hints would very much appreciated.
    Kind regards

  • MSI P67A-G43 (B3) Boot Password - How to reset?

    I am currently locked out of my MSI P67A-G43 (B3) machine, due to a bootup password. Recovering the password is not an option, I want to reset it.
    I have already attempted clearing the CMOS (both with the jumper pad and with the button), and neither appears to have worked. The password has persisted through the reset. The ClickBIOS has not been updated since the board was purchased, which was one year ago.
    Any help?

     Other than advice already given we do not assist in attempts at bypassing or hacking BIOS/system passwords. Reason being we have no way of knowing if parts are stolen or not or whatever reason you can't use the original p'word that was entered.
     If you want to you can ask MSI for further assistance but this forum can't help with that.

  • Pc wont boot with gtx 970

    I bought msi gaming gtx 970 around 6 months ago and it worked flawlessly until today. I opened my pc to clean it up a bit, and removed the gpu from the pci-e slot, and the next time (1 hour later) I put it back in it just stopped working. Display led is just flashing and shows a black screen, no bios splash screen or anything. The logo lits up and fans start spinning for like 10 seconds and then just stop. Everything is seated as it should be. Also, it was all tested on a 750w psu. Same thing happens when the 6 and 8 pin connectors aren't connected.
    I've tried my old gtx 260 and gtx 570 and they both work fine, and also I've tried gtx 970 in an older pc with 500w psu and the same thing happens.
    Is it dead or what?
    Specs:
    msi p67a-c45
    intel i7 2600k
    2x8gb kingston hyperx 2133mhz
    silverstone strider 750w psu

    Well, if other vgas do work in the same machine but the 970 will not work in that machine it worked in before and won't in another machine as well it is dead. Rma it.

  • Trying to boot with GTX 970 and getting no signal..

    Installed a GTX 970 and since then the PC will switch on but I can't even get to the BIOS screen. If I take the card out then it boots fine.
    I've tried updating the BIOS and drivers as far as I can but I am now stuck as to what the problem could be.
    The lights on the card also come on but the fans don't spin.
    The build is currently:
    MSI Z97 Gaming 5 motherboard
    Intel Core i5-4690K
    G-Skill 4Gx2 Ripjaws DDR3 2133MHz
    Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD
    MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card
    Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS
    Any help would be appreciated.

    I would:
    I assume this is a single card install?
    1. Check card in another PC (if possible)
    2. Check PS connections
    3. Check PS's ability to output enough wattage
    4. Try different monitor connection/cable
    See where that takes you... and report back

  • Output Issue with GTX 470

    Recently I changed my vodeo ard from ATI to GTX 470. After installing all updates every thing seemed fine excapt that when I applied "Freez Frame" effect and got output on DVD there was terrible shake on the clip where I applkied this effect. IT happened in the previous projects created with ATI card and even in new projects created with GTX 470. I removed GTX 470 put back old ATI card and completed the project.
    I searched on the internet and did not find anyother person faced with this problem.
    Can you please tell me what was wrong. I have already returned GTX card and using old ATI. but I want to have some card that uses MPE and speeds up my work.
    Waiting to hear

    Sorry about that, thought I checked it. It was simply a link to another thread on this forum. I get a lot of good answers here. You may not completely get all the flicker out of any given frame grab, especially if it has a lot of contrast or motion/ interlace banding. I have struggled with it myself. When I use grabs I always take extra ones so I can swap out any that are problematic.
    Some fight it http://forums.adobe.com/message/1721546#1721546 and some keep it a little more simple http://forums.adobe.com/message/2445526#2445526

  • Is my system compatible with GTX 970?

    I have HP P7-1235 with MS 7778 (ver. 1.0) motherboard. I have recently purchased MSI GTX 970. When I put in the card and try to boot up the system, it freezes with Starting Windows sign on the display. From a research I have done it seems there might be a problem with my MOBO and/or BIOS version being compatible with the card. The BIOS version is AMI 7.07
    I am running Windows 7. 
    Could anybody tell me if there is a newer version of the BIOS I need and or any other solution so I can run the GPU?
    Or do I have to get a different GPU. Is so which one is high performance GPU compatible with my BIOS and MOBO?
    Thank you in advance for any help.

    Hi,
    Unless your PC has a version 8 BIOS then don't count on the NVIDIA GTX 970 working in your PC even with the correct power supply installed.

  • Unable to use 4 monitors with GTX 970

    I used to run 4 monitors with my EVGA 660Ti. I recently purchased a Msi GTX 970 4GD5T OC and now my VGA only utility monitor on the DVI-I port (with included adapter) wont display when in windows. It displays the bios on boot but once windows 7 initializes it reads "no RGB input". I must be missing something simple that I did before with my 660Ti but I can't remember. Tried it with another VGA only flat screen I had and the same results.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Do you mean by only DVI won't display or something? four ports on vga or some ports in onboard port? Did you check NVIDIA control panel 3D Settings--Configure surround, and right click screen resolution on desktop?

  • Very Initial results PPBM8 (CC 2014) with GTX 970 SC

    Well this has been an interesting evening with my new EVGA GTX 970 SC with 4 GB.  I got over $50 off on an open box unit so I could not resist!
    My single GPU benchmark from PPBM using MPEG2-DVD with Hardware Acceleration scores have been the same as my GTX 770 SC.
    I hope that GPU-Z is reporting this new GPU properly.  There may be some confusion here with a brand new board.
    I downloaded the latest EVGA overclocking tool Precision 16 and tried to adjust the memory speed as I have done dozens of times and I could not get any changes showing in GPU-Z.
    I do like the it has HTML 2.0 (4K monitor compatibility).
    I do like the lower power dissipation.
    I do like the slight lower price.  (4 GB GTX 770 to 4 GB GTX 970).
    In the next few days I hope to get the answers somehow on the overclocking of the memory and compatibility with GPU-Z
    Testing with Premiere 8.0.1.21

    Thanks much Eric, now I hope I can get our results page updated.  Apparently with the new Maxwell's you cannot change the real memory speed.  I have sent more time with EVGA and no one can explain why.  It can appear to be set differently but it does not change the results like it has in the other previous cards.
    I will install my GTX 770 with the GTX 970 to see how they play.

  • Z77A-G43 PCIe 3.0 problem with GTX 660

    Hello,
    I have built a new computer with the components described above.
    There is no video signal output from my GTX 660 when it's connected to the PCIe 3.0.
    It's OK when the GTX 660 is connected to the PCIe 2.0.
    When GTX 660is connected to PCIe 3.0 there is no signal output even from the onboard video card.
    That's mean I don't see bios display or Windows, it's not a windows 7 problem.
    Sometimes after connected GTX 660 to the PCIe 3.0, the bios stop and start few times the computer, always without video signal anywhere.
    Then It's seems that Windows 7 boot (without display), but there is no sound when Windows 7 is loaded or when I quit Windows 7 (I enter blindly my password, then do Alt-F4 and enter , and Computer stop).
    I try to reset CMOS, setting in the bios PEG or IGD but nothing good.
    The bios version was 2.8, I flash it to E7758IMS.293 but same problem.
    This GTX 660 is a PCIe 3.0 compliant !
    Any idea ?
    Thx for your help

    The PCI-E 2.0 bandwidth is more than enough for your GPU.
