Problem with starting msi z77 Mpower

Hello
i 've just bought a Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 800W
and a mobo msi z77 mpower(today)
i have this problem
i have tested the psu with 2 different mobo (the msi stated before and a asus p8z77 v pro) and in both cases the psu fan runs for few seconds and the it stops.i have tried it with and without cpu , with and without case fans , i have the same problem it turns the fans for few seconds and then it stops as if dose not have enough power.
tested the psu with the paper clip test and it works , but when i put the 24 pin connectors and the 8 pin connectors on the motherboard it dosen't. Maybe i do something wrong ?
 I've  speak with tech support from cooler master and it seems it's not the psu
honestly i don't know what eles to try /do
can you help me?
thank you in advance

To go a step farther, when the board is outside of the case, you should have a monitor connected to the onboard graphics or a discrete card, 1 stick of RAM in the primary DIMM slot, and CPU with it's cooler for initial startup. Be sure to test on a non conductive surface of unprinted plain cardboard or an untreated wood surface.

  • Problem with Big Bang z77 mpower and USB3

    I built my pc last night and everything was working just fine. I have 3 external harddrives connected to the USB3.0 ports in the back. Last night, I was able to see all 3 (along with my 4 internal harddrives (1ssd, 3 hdd)). I turn it off for the night and then this morning, the only thing I was seeing was my internals. Nothing changed between then and now. I did see a UB91 in the device manager with a yellow triangle.. updated all my USB controller drivers via the downloads from MSi's website which got rid of the yellow device but my USB drives are still not showing. My USB2 ports seem to be working. My mouse/keyboard are connected to the ones in the back. I connected a thumb drive to the front ports of my HAF case (both USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports) and it showed up in each one. Not sure why my back USB3.0 ports are no longer working.
    Other parts in the build are:
    Intel i7 3770k
    2 x 4GB DDR3 1600 MHz
    nVidia GTX 680
    Any ideas what I can do or if its a mobo failure?
    Edit: Forgot to put I am running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit.

  • BCLK STUCK!!! BIOS 17.6 Problem with Prefetcher???MSI Z77 Mpower

    BIOS 17.6 added the new CPU features.
    I think the new BIOS CPU features of "Hardware Prefetcher" item and "Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch" options are part of the problem. When I disable hardware prefetcher my memory performance shoots way down. BUGGY!!!!
    I am unable to over clock my BCLK.   What is going on!!! HELP!!!

    but is that what cosing the problem? cus this other guy on this forum had the same problem and he had a good psu
    we troubleshot your PC, not someone else machine.
    also we can't claim part failure or to narrow down the issue,
    since you don't meet the requirements with PSU.
    with regard less if the problem is in the PSU or not, you need better PSU in all cases.

  • MSI Z77 MPower sound problem

    I have MSI Z77 MPower and i have problem with sound. When i play audio i have feeling that sound automatically volume up and volume down. When i uninstall THX i have feeling that is everything OK but sound is not loud like before.I try on THX turn off smart volume and cristalyzer but problem is still here. Can you help me.

    I had the same issue with an early version of THX, have you downloaded the newest version from the website?
    >>MSI Downloads<<
    Update all of your drivers and re-test. In my case I just un-installed THX until the next version came out and it's fine now.

  • Msi z77 mpower. higher than 8gb = reboot loop. help.

    Hey guys I'm posting this in hopes that maybe someone could figure out what is causing my new build to reboot loop without post if I added anything higher than 8gb of ram stick. I updated the bios to latest non-beta version, drivers all updated, and made sure that all connectors were correct and properly attached.
    Here is my build:
    i7 3770k
    Corsair H80 liq.cooling
    MSI Z77 Mpower Mobo
    Corsair Vengeance 16gb (4x4gb) 1600MHz [9-9-9-24]
    Asus Geforce GTX 670
    Corsair AX850 psu
    2 WD Black 1gb HD
    Win 7 Ultimate 64bit SP1
    Everything is at default options since I didn't want to overclock without including the full 4 sticks of ram. Whenever I add a stick into slots 1 or 2 while having a stick in either(or both) slots 3 and/or 4, and attempt to start it up, the mobo's debug shows 55(early memory initialization) and then gets stuck in a reboot loop. It boots up fine if I only add 1 stick in either slot 1 or 2 but if I add either a stick in slot 3 or 4 or add a stick in 2 while having a stick in 1, reboot loop occurs. I've searched everywhere for similar problems and actually did find one on this forums, https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162331.0, except that the thread starter's problems were about getting the reboot loop problem after he has overclocked his system and nothing about the number of ram he has added.
    fyi: the mobo names ram slots(from left to right) as slots 3, 4, 1, 2 (in case anyone gets confused reading what I have wrote above)
    Some assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Honestly, it doesn't matter what slots are what number because I cannot add a 3rd stick (more than 8gb) without pc going into reboot loop and or any variations of dual channel setup without pc going into reboot loop.

    Sounds like maybe the DRAM V. is being set too low by the BIOS. Raise it to 1.55-1.575v's and see if that resolves it.
    using your #1 image, if i try to add stick in dimm1&3 or dimm2&4 it would reboot loop. If I tried 1&4 or dimm2&3 it would reboot loop.
    If i tried dimm3&4 it would reboot loop.
    BUT if I did dimm1&2 like I have it right now, it would boot up with no problems. I have already tried raising the DRAM V with no luck as well.

  • MSI Z77 MPOWER RAM compatablilty.

    Hi,
    I am building my first computer and plan on buying the MSI Z77 MPOWER soon, but im not sure if the RAM I have chosen is compatible with the MB as they are not in the compatibility list.
    System specs:
    case: CoolerMaster Storm Trooper
    CPU: i7 3770k (hopefully overclock'd to 4.6ghz)
    RAM: 16GB
    GPU: 2x Nvidia 480 SLI
    HDD: 120GB SSD (to start with)
    OS: Windows 7
    RAM in question:
    Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M2A1600C9 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
    or
    Corsair Vengeance Pro CMY16GX3M2A1600C9R 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3
    Thank you in advance
    mike.

    Manufacturers cannot test each and every RAM in the market.
    Corsair Vengeance RAM has proven to be compatible with just about every MSI board. Their RAM is normally JEDEC standard and you should not have any problems. Either one of those kits should serve you well.

  • MSI Z77 Mpower Code A0, and wi-fi not detected ...

    Hello, from about 20 days I use the new mainboard MSI Z77 Mpower.
    My system is composed as follows:
    MSI Z77 Mpower, PC1500 DDR3 1866MHz 16GB Corsair Vengeance
    1.5V CL9 (2x8GB), CPU Intel i5-3570K 3.4 GHz, SVGA ASUS GTX660 TI, Samsung SSD 128gb 840pro.
    I installed windows8pro in UEFI mode with ssd disk partition gpt.
    As bios setup is everything default except xmp profile enabled for the Rams, and UEFI boot-legacy because I have linux in another disc.
    It all seems to work fine, but I have a few doubts_troubles !
    1) Sometimes in debug LEDs, instead of the temperature appears the code A0 ... is it normal or it indicates a problem ?
    2) I've never tried the Wi-Fi, it is normal that it only works if the LAN cable is disconnected ?
    The problem I had with wi-fi is that sometimes the sistem said that the hardware was not found or not connected ... I tried to install the latest drivers without any success, after several attempts, I think I found the problem ...
    Wi-Fi is connected to the mainboard, I think in the USB port, and for some reason it does not make contact, after pulling back slightly the 1 mm. module it started to work.
    If instead I press slightly forward, (the pressure that normally is used to attach the antenna) it loses the link ... Do I have to leave it like this or can I do something to resolve the problem ?
    3) Normally the steps to open and close the PC are very fast, in some cases, the PC takes a long time to shut down, and once gave me the same problem at the start, after a long wait I rebooted and it started without problems .. .
    Normally, the computer is stable ... Do I have to try the thorough ram test ?
    I apologize for being longwinded and thank you in advance for the answers.

    The wifi adapter is removable?
    In case it is, without losing the guarantee.
    If you give me confirmation, I try to see if it is just a matter of contacts.
    I need specific instructions!
    for now it seems to work properly.
    If ask rma, mainboard or complete one module wi-fi?
    Wi-Fi, it is normal that it only works if the LAN cable is disconnected ?
    Thanks pikka68
    No, the adaptor isn't removable. Perhaps I misunderstood, you were saying that when you hook up the Ethernet cable, the mainboard shuts off the wifi. You can check in the bios for an option in regards to this or it could be the OS I am not sure. If they are both working when needed, is there really a problem?

  • MSI Z77 Mpower, screen cannot be found.

    Hello!
    Recently I was moving parts from my old case to a new one.
    My old motherboard (ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3) stopped working, due a static shock or something.
    I then bought a Z77 Mpower motherboard, PC started.
    But my problem now is that Gainward 670GTX GPU cannot recognize my screen, I have tried HDMI and DVI as Ive always used.
    The 670 card's fan is running, every LED light, fan inside the computer works. Cables are correct.
    I tried with my old 560Ti from MSI and got picture on my screen within a secound.
    Im pretty sure all the parts works together, anyways here is the setup im running:
    MSI Z77 MPower
    Intel i7 2600k
    Gainward 670GTX
    4x4GB Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600MHz
    BenQ 24" LCD G2420HD
    Corsair CX 750W
    Could be that the 670 GTX got a static shock as well? But then again, should the fan be running if it did?
    Any suggestions, please and thank you.

    The Beta's I linked are MSI releases, not hack files, so I use them if there is something in the change log that may benefit the system.
    Please use the forum's USB flash method, very safe. Live Update for a BIOS flash sends shivers down my spine.
    W8 huh? Well, I think we found the problem. The VBIOS needs to be updated to support GOP I think is the name of it? I am a staunch non supporter of W8, so I have not run into these W8 related problems.
    Hopefully a forum mod or other user will be along shortly to advise on the steps to get your GTX 670 to work right.

  • BOOT ORDER issue? MSI Z77 MPOWER + SSD Samsung 840pro

    Hello
    I have an MSI z77 MPower m/b - Intel i7/ 3770k  and two hard disk drives...
    First HHD (Samsung SSD 840PRO 256gb) connected on SATA Port 2.
    Second HHD (WestedDigital WDC 2TB Green) connected on SATA Port 6.
    The CDDVD is connected on Port 4.
    The SSD has WIN7 .
    The WDC 2TB,  has 2 partitions. One with WIN8 and the other for BACKUP.
    In the MSI BIOS under BOOT menu, i chose the HARD DISK DRIVE BBS Properties as shown :
    Boot Option #1 Samsung SSD 840Pro
    Boot Option #2 WDC WD20EARS-...
    When I start my computer it usually boots on WIN7 from the SSD (1st choice).
    The problem is that SOMETIMES after shutdown, the computers changes the BBS order and BOOTS on WIN8 from WDC.
    When I re-enter on the BIOS the HARD DISK DRIVE BBS Properties is changed to:
    Boot Option #1 WDC WD20EARS-...
    Boot Option #2 Samsung SSD 840Pro
    Can anyone help me with this boot issue?
    Thanks,
    Nikos

    Other than updating the firmware of the SSD and mainboard: >> BIOSes<<
    Use the disk management to make sure the boot partition of the WD drive isn't active.

  • MSI Z77 MPower Ram issues

    Hi guys
    I recently installed the MSI Z77 MPower after replacing it with the Asrock extreme 4 mobo which i had before, am currently having problems with the RAM it wont boot if i place them in the correct slots for dual channel configurations but if i place them in the last two slots the PC boots up fine.
    My Ram is the G Skill Ripjaw X series 1600mhz model number: F3-12800CL8-4GBXM.
    Its driving me nuts two motherboards and nothing working, i just hope its not relating to my CPU or something like that.
    Please...please guys really need your help with this, because without it running in dual channel configuration my first build feels incomplete due to this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi guys thanks for the replies and sorry for the late reply has i said before my MSI MPOWER Z77 motherboard  is totally brand new and i know for a fact that no bent pins in the cpu socket, from what i am aware of, if my RAM is related due to the type of RAM modules that i am using and you guys are suggesting corsair modules which ones do you guys recommend me getting.  You know when i said only slot 3 and 4 only worked could that be in a result of the RAM am using or not....??
    Thanks in advance guys   

  • Overclocking 3770k and MSI z77 Mpower

    I recently purchased a new PC with these specs and wanted to get started overclocking it. I tried a soft overclock of just 4.4ghz and it seems to be hit or miss. I'm fairly new to overclocking so i'm not 100% sure what changes I should be making to increase stability or what the symptoms are of an unstable OC aside from the system crashing.
    I grabbed a few pieces of software to get started, CPUZ, Prime95 and Realtemp. Not sure if I need anything else. I also noticed the motherboard has an overclocking profile feature, is it possible to share overclocks with other people and have them work?
    Anyways any help would be appreciated, thank you!

    I also did a bios update yesterday to h.80 or ...latest that liveupdate gave me. I used the tool on MSIHQ to format a USB stick to do it and it seemed to do it for me on restart.

    First, careful with live update and bios update. Using the forum flash tool and archives here is safer. >>BIOSes<<
    As for the overclocking recommendations, first we need to know what kinda of OC you want to do? A turbo type w/ all power savings intact? If so here are some screen shots of similar boards: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
    The big things that people miss at first is vdroop. If you want to oc very much, you will need to manually set that to 100% for starters.
    Otherwise, post screen shots of you uefi bios settings and we can look it over.

    What happens when you put the vga in the top PCIE slot?
    Are the 6 / 8 pin connectors hooked up to the vga securely?
    The 2x 4pin cpu connectors (JPWR)
    Do you have another vga to test the pcie slots/ another computer to test the vga?
    Inspecting the pins would be a good idea as well as that is a common cause for pcie lane failure.
    Also, sometime the default bios for some boards don't work with the 660 vga's try the beta:

  • MSI Z77 MPower heat pipe kinks

    I found weird kinks like 3 around one of the heat pipes on the MSI Z77 MPower board from NewEgg. Is this normal? Will it affect performance or OC for future use? I think its a defect which I'm quite disappointed. What do you think?

    Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 30-December-12, 17:26:24
    My only concern is if you are going to do extreme OC's with setting the MOSFET/VRM's to a higher level in the UEFI/BIOS. This causes a lot of heat and that is always a bad thing. For extreme OC'ing, many remove the stock hardware and use other cooling solutions on the MOSFET/VRM's anyway.
    If in doubt, RMA the board with Newegg under the banner of it looks to be damaged. The problem with this kind of thing is it will probably work perfectly fine with no issues during normal use. If they test it and say it was operationally fine, I don't know what happens then.
    Yeah, one kink is okay for me, but actually there are 3 kinks in total. So you do own a Mpower board? This board is rock solid but may be a few unlucky units to have some issues. Thanks for your advice thou.
