Problems setting up new Z77A-G45 board

New to MSI boards - having trouble getting it running.
Finally was able to get most of the drivers loaded - but still having problems.
Can't get on internet - error says "RealTec NIC card CAN'T work" - and can't find drivers on disc. Router is hooked up & working properly.
Isn't the NIC internal on this board?
Thanks for the help - Wife's computer....

Brand-new Z77A G45 not booting

Hello all. Just started putting a new build together the other day, using the Z77A G45. When I went to boot it up for the first time, it gave me the "Military Class III" splash screen, with the prompts to switch to POST, start BIOS setup, etc. However, pressing any of the keys doesn't do anything, and it shuts down after about twenty seconds or so. The CPU phase leds all turn on for a few seconds after it's powered on, but after that only the first one remains lit.
I thought it might be because it wasn't recognizing my USB keyboard, but I had the same problem even when I used the PS/2 converter that came with the keyboard. I tried clearing the CMOS, and it gave me a screen showing that it recognized everything plugged into the board, and prompted me to hit F1 to continue setup, which worked, but from there all I got was a black screen with an "underscore" in the upper left hand corner. Rebooting with only one stick of RAM didn't change the problem, and I've tried all the USB ports, with similar results.
I'm thinking that the problem lies in the CPU being damaged during installation, but there don't seem to be any bent pins.
Here's the build:
CPU - Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz Dual-Core
Motherboard - MSI Z77A-G45 ATX LGA1155
Memory - Kingston Blu Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333
Storage - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card - MSI GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB
Case - NZXT Tempest 410 ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply - SeaSonic 520W ATX12V / EPS12V
Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Monitor - Asus VS238H-P 23.0"
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try it without any ram, you should get a beep. If not it seems to be RMA time.
This is not true depending on the board and bios version. Not all boards/ bios versions beep at all.

Intel Quick Sync disabled when discrete card installed on IB and z77a-g45 board

Hi all I have an msi z77a-g45 motherboard with an intel IB 3570K CPU. Recently I install an AMD 7770 graphics card and the on board-graphics is switched off. Now I can't use the intel quick sync to encode my videos. The GPU acceleration for the AMD 7770 is there but the quality is terrible compared to the quick sync and the file is huge ie 46MB for the IB encode and 140MB for the AMD 7770 encode with same settings and output, don't know why. I have read about the lucid virtu software but it does not work or detects my IB 3570K CPU. I have also tried plugging in the HDMI monitor cable to the motherboard instead of the video card but the screen display a no signal message. The problem is I want to use the intel quick sync to encode my videos and my AMD 7770 graphics card to play games, is there a good way to do this instead of plugging and unplugging the video card. Thanks in advance for your help.

You can only use QuickSync without a dedicated graphics. As soon as a VGA card is inserted, it will override the IGP and thus QuickSync is not available.
Only way is to turn off dedicated in windows and reconnect the monitor to the IGP and reboot, or completely remove the dedicated.
I have the same issue with my setup.

New z77a G45 Motherboard - computer won't start.

Hi everyone,
I would appreciate some help, if possible.
I've purchased the following:-
1) i7 3770 processor;
2) z77a-g45 motherboard;
Installed them just fine (I think?) - first startup I get a 'CPU has changed, update settings' on the BIOS. However, after this message the system shut down. Now there's a faint smell of ozone in the air, and the system won't power on whatsoever. The motherboard has a handy set of LED's labelled CPU phase. When I hit the power button one lights up... then nothing.
I have done the following:-
1) Checked the PSU on another system - it works perfectly;
2) removed and reinstalled the CPU and cooling fan. Reapplied thermal paste.
3) Run the system using only PSU, CPU and RAM.
None of the above seem to do anything. I get the impression I have, through my carelessness, fried something. Any idea, given the vague description of the above, whether it would be the CPU or the mobo?
The power supply I am using is a CIT ATX 12v 700UB supply.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Remove the MB from the case and check if there are more than the required MB mounting standoffs. Ensure that there are only the ones that line up with the MB mounting screw holes on the case backplate and no others that would cause short circuit between case and MB. Also ensure that you have no pinched wires or wires with damaged insulation from the PSU that could be short circuiting.
It's always best to assemble the components out of the case on a sheet of bare cardboard to make sure it all fires up and runs OK before installing it in the case. Do this, retest and let us know how it goes.

New z77a-g45 no boot no video

I just got a brand new g45 mobo and a 3570k.
I have assembled it and theres no video or activity.
The cpu phase leds only shows one led lit.
The cpu fan kicks in so there is power going into the mobo
I have checked the cpu pins and didnt see any bent ones and I have plugged the right power cables from the power supply.
I have removed all disks, the video card and tried with no memory sticks and with only one stick.
Because nothing happens I dont know how to troubleshoot before deciding to do a Rma.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

I did check the pins in the socket with a magnifying glass. They all looked perfect. The problem was not from there.
I looked at all the board and didnt see anything unusual but I am not an electronics expert so there could be something wrong.
I am sending the board back. Believe me that its not by choice because I bought online and now it will be probably 2 weeks before I get the replacement. Not a happy camper.
Another thing that happened and I am mad as hell, is that to RMA the ask to put the cover plate back over the socket to protect it and I didnt know how the plate was set up so I ended up touching slightly the pins.
I was so mad... I straightened them as best as I could and the tip of the pins are aligned but you can tell it doesnt look smooth as before.
I hope the store will understand and after doing whatever they do the board was really defective.

Problem setting up new airport extreme

I've just picked up an airport extreme to upgrade my home wifi network. Currently I'm using a buffalo 54g box that works fine. For some reason I can't seet to get the AP extreme to recognize the DSL signal. Here is what I've done so far.
I unplugged the DSL ethernet cable from the Buffalo and put it into the AP extreme and power it up. The light on airport is blinking amber. After running through the airport admin assistant and setting up the airport extreme (including the DSL connection information, etc) which the mac located without trouble, the AP extreme is rebooted but still just blinks amber. I plugged the ethernet cable directly into the mac and and access the internet without trouble. I plug it bak into the AP extreme and reboot it - still blinking amber. I rebooted the DSL modem - still blinking amber. The instructions recommend resetting the AP extreme so I reset it and then I ran through the set up again and still have the same problem.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Many thanks for your advice.

Per chance, did you allow adequate time for a complete power recycle when switching network devices?
Modem/Router Power ReCycling
- Power-off the DSL/Cable modem, Internet Router, & computer(s). (Wait at least 30 minutes. If possible, leave the modem off overnight.)
- Power-on the DSL/Cable modem; Wait at least 30 minutes.
- Power-on the Internet Router; Wait at least 5 minutes.
- Power-on the computer(s)

Problem setting up new mail account

I think when I got my macbook about 3 years ago I must have tried to set up an account for the 'mail' application. I no-longer remember wither my user-name or my password. When I open the app it comes up with a window explaining that I will be given guide-lines on how to create a new account, however, no guidelines are given and it just wants me to enter my use name and password, which it then does not recognise (it seems to therefore assume that I already have an account rather than helps me to set one up). The ending of the user-name is already written in (and is unalterable, as it's outide the bit I type in) and is "@mac.com" even though my Apple ID ends in "@mac.co.uk" (as I am from the UK) - should any of the details for my mail account be the same as my Apple ID?
Would be grateful for some help!

Hi amiaba, and a warm welcome to the forums!
I can't quite tell what it's doing, but open Keychain Access in Applications>Utilities, click on your Keychain on the left, put .mac in the search bar, once you find it, double click on it and click show password.
If you have no mail in there try this with Mail quit.
Drag this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
Start Mail & see if it steps you through it.
Not sure on the .uk thing, but is Date & Time>Time Zone set to the UK?

Problem setting a new image to be displayed in JScrollPane

Hi everyone,
I'm having a problem with an image retrieval application I'm developing and basically the problem is when I run the application and search for an image, the image is found and displayed fine on screen using an instance of DisplayJAI (from the JAI packages). However, when I search for another image it clears the old image fine but doesn't display the new one. I though it might be a repaint issue because the SQL is correct but it simply clears the scrollPane of content and doesn't update it with the new image. Has anyone ever come across this problem before or have any ideas? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

This is fixed by turning off the optimization..

Problem setting up new account

My son will be leaving for college in a few monts and got a new laptop. We got I-Tunes up and running on it, and set up Home Sharing (he moved our library into his I-Tunes).
However, when we go to set up his own account, it says that there is already an account with that email. He has never set up an account with I-Tunes. We did recently change internet providers (a couple of months ago). How do we get around this. I don't want to "change password" on the account, since it obviously belongs to someone who never changed their email and we have no way of getting a hold of them. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Boot problems with Z77A-G45

Quote from: CMaster on 22-June-12, 15:31:08
Processor: Intel i5-3570K retail (new)
Mainboard: MSI Z77A-G45 (new)
Memory: 2 x Corsair 4GB XMS3 DDR3-PC1600 CMXBG3N2A1600C9 (new)
Graphics card: MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II (new, currently disconnected)
SSD: Crucial M4 512GB (new, currently disconnected)
Power supply: Antect earthwatts 500W (used, fully functional)
HDD1: WD Velociraptor 300GB (used, rather full)
HDD2: Samsung Spinpoint F3 2tb (used, currently disconnected)
Optical drive: DH-201AS DVD-+RW (used)
Once everything is all connected up, installed in the case, etc etc, upon power up, the fans all spin up, HDDs initialize etc. Then after 10 seconds or so the system powers down again, with the screen (whether on the external or internal graphics) never having been active. There are no beeps from the PC speaker whatsoever, nor do there seem to be any indicator lights as I've had on previous MSI motherboards. The manual is completely absent of any troubleshooting section. So my main question is, is there any way to tell what stage the startup is failing on? Other threads on this forum (here and here) suggest that the problem is due to lack of processor support. As the motherboard was sold as Ivy Bridge ready, I'd like soe way of confirming this as most likely cause before paying for some fix.
Hey I am actaully sharing the similar problem of yours....
I am using MSI H77MA-G43 (BIOS v1.5), and a set of DDR3-1600 4GB RAM x 2.
When i am using both 2 pcs of RAM, i am facing the same problem:
"after 10 seconds or so the system powers down again, with the screen (whether on the external or internal graphics) never having been active. There are no beeps from the PC speaker whatsoever, nor do there seem to be any indicator lights as I've had on previous MSI motherboards. "
When I use 1 pc of DDR3-1600 4GB RAM, it works again.
I just wonder if there is some RAM compatibility problem with MSI motherboard...I have tried below 2 sets of RAM:
AMD DDR3-1600 4GB x 2 (1.5V) (AE38G1609U2K-U)
Kingston HYPER-X DDR3-1600 4GB x 2 (1.65V) (KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX)
Cheers!

Please don't hijack other's topics. >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
Your components are not the same, starting with the RAM. >>Posting Guide<<
Please supply your full system spec.
Your RAM is 1,65V overvolted DDR3-1600.
Only add one module as per the instructions. Then do a full CMOS clear with power cord removed. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Afterwards go into the BIOS and set that memory to 1333, (ensure that XMP is disabled for now). Set the DRAM voltage to 1,5V. Retest and advise.

MSI Z77A - G45 - CPU multiplier problem

Hi,
I recently bought this PC:
Intel Core i5 3570 k
MSI Z77A - G45 - with BIOS V 2.5
Seasonic S12II-620 620W
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile White 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600
Amd HD 7850
My problem is following:
If I change CPU Ratio (multiplier), in standart mode to 40x and leave CPU core voltage auto, it cause instability, even if use Cpu core voltage 1.25 V for ratio 40x.
But that's not all problem. I could understand, why I cant OC my CPU, but this instability is even if I change multiplier to 30x from default 34x and this makes me uncertain.
Now I will describe you that instability...
OK so, when I change ratio to 40x or 30x it doesn't matter, it runs to windows successfully but after using windows something about 3-6 hours pc turns off.
I also discovered second problem by coincidence. If I hit F11 (Boot menu) , when I am starting pc and I have set ratio 40x or 30x, I can choose what I want to boot only for 10 secs and after that PC restarts by itself....
But if I set default 34x ratio I can choose what I want to boot forever and pc doesnt restart.
I know that boot menu is not some test of stability but it is very strange... Why If I change multiplier, it doesnt matter, if it is higher or lower then default settings it just cause instability ? :-/
Thanks for help.

Quote from: xmad on 19-August-12, 07:02:15
I was just saying that the beta caused a vga problem, latest release the f11 problem so try the release prior to that, but if you got it working don't touch it! lol
Are you still using the beta bios?
No clue, we are just users like you are, just keep checking the website. You should report the troubles you had with 2.4 to msi too.>>How to contact MSI.<<
Yeah iťs working now. As I said, I wanted flash older Bios 2.4, so for sure I click on restore defualts in bios (for sure before flashing) in that 2.64 Bios version...
PC restarts and my graphic card started working =)...
So now I am running on that the latest Bios as you refered mi (2.64 beta).
I am running some test of stability on @ 4 GHz with 1.070 V (IBT,Prime,memmaxx,linx,cinebench,occt,super pi, 3d mark) temps are 62 C max...
So I guess it's ok now =)
At the end I have one question :
My Cpu is now running on 40 x ratio all the time, there is no some underoverlocking ratio (16x etc.) when it's in idle. I was thinking the Ivy Bridge overclocking is overclocking of turbo only...
I know It's detail, because I have good temps even in idle with 40x ration (33-39 C) but i want to be assured if it is ok.
EDIT:
And btw I didnť have 2.4 bios flash on, I wanted put them on... But before flashing my 2.64 beta started working right with HD 7850 as is wrote upper.
I had Bios 2.5 before 2.64

Thanks in advance!!.

Enable XMP in your bios and that should automatically overclock your memory to 1600.
Before doing that however, you may want to update your bios if the pcie3 is causing any problems. I wouldn't loose any sleep over it though as it is less than 1% gain.
