Random resets H77MA-G43

Hello,
I build a PC two months ago with the components listed below with Windows 7 64 bit. It worked perfect for two months. Now I get random resets. No BSOD or anything, just a reset. After a reset I have to select to Start Windows Normally. I did not change any software or hardware.
MSI H77MA-G43
Intel Core i5 3350P
Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9
Sapphire HD 4850 512MB
Crucial M4 CT064M4SSD2
Corsair Builder CX600 Bronze
Fractal Design Define Mini
I have tried the following to solve the problem.
Update the BIOS to V1.11.
Install new Windows, formatted the SSD.
Run tests with IntelBurnTest, passed it.
Checked every cable in the case, all fine.
Removed the reset cable from JFP1 on the motherboard.
Clear CMOS.
Measure temps: 30 when idle, 50 when using IntelBurnTest.
I think it is the motherboard or PSU, but I am not sure. So what should I do?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the help. It turned out to be the PSU. Solved.
Thanks for reporting! Corsair PSU's are usually extremely reliable. I hope this isn't a trend of a cheapening of their quality.

H77MA-G43. Cannot Enter Setup

My system:
MSI H77MA-G43
Core i7 3770K
Sandisk Extreme 120 SSD
Crucial XMP DDR3 2000 RAM
Nvidia GTX 460 video card
After installing the processor and RAM I attempted to enter BIOS setup. After hitting DEL the setup screen started to load then the system locked hard, had to power off and on again. Removed video card and all but one RAM stick; no change. Using a bootable thumbdrive I flashed the BIOS with 7756v1C.zip, now the system doesn't freeze, it reboots.
I need to get into BIOS so I can set up my video card. At them moment I can only use the onboard video card. The system runs fine, no issues, just can't enter BIOS setup.

check the socket pins under the CPU as it should automatically switch to PCI-E video card and your symptoms sound like the pins are bent under the CPU (random reboot and failure to access BIOS) and are not making appropriate contact!
also what PSU do you have?

HELP!!! iPhone randomly reset and now it won't detect SIM card?

Ok so here's what I was doing when this all happened.
I had called the Linksys support for a new router I just bought that wasn't working right. After waiting about 8 mins I was connected to a gentlmen in India, we worked on my problem for about 10mins or so and then all of sudden my phone just reset, or at least went to the apple logo and just sat there.
then after 30 seconds it started ringing (before it fully restarted) and it was the tech gentlemen call me back. So I slide the thing to answer and the screen froze with the slider on the right but not unlocked but I could see the time and my back ground, just no buttons and I could still hear him and talk to him.
After we fix my problem with the router he hung up, but my phone was still froze and then it started ringing (a friend had tried to call me before it reset while I was on the phone so I assume it was him again). I couldn't answer and it just kept ringing and ringing so I held the wake button and slide the red slider to shut it off.
Left it off for 30 seconds or so then press and held it again to turn it on. Now it says restore need, connect to itunes!
ok, so I did and after wait about 30sec to a minute after connecting it to itunes it comes up with this error:
*"iTunes cannot activate your iPhone because the SIM card is not inserted or a SIM PIN is required. Disconnect your iPhone, make sure the SIM card is inserted correctly and, if you use a SIM PIN, tap Unlock to enter it, and then reconnect your iPhone."*
What the heck?! I've had it randomly reset once before about a month and a half ago and which point I did have to restore, and it did and it worked fine after that.
The SIM card IS in there, and I have no idea what my SIM PIN would be, nor do I see the option for it they speak of! And this happened about 9:30pm, well after any Apple or AT&T stores are closed! I even turned off the phone, took the SIM card out and put it back and it still did the same thing!
What would cause this to randomly just mess-up like this? I loved this phone when I got it but now that this is the 2nd time this has happened and much worse I'm pretty ticked about it. And it's not like I hacked it or unlocked it or whatever that is even called, the only things I've put on my iphone are music, pictures, and programs I all got thru itunes!
PLEASE HELP!

Hi Guys,
I'm writing this from the UK. Got an iPhone 3G bought a few weeks ago and activated (no jailbreak or other stuff)it. It worked fine but last night it gave the same error as originally reported in this thread.
Went into the O2 store (this is the provider selling iPhones in the UK) and they told me is the SIM card. Got a new one but still the same...
There is something going on here because I've seen lots of claims with the exact same description. Its almost like there is a bug in the software that gets activated on the 3rd of January.
Will go tomorrow again and ask for a new phone.

IPod and JVC Car Stereo random resetting problem

Hey all,
I recently bought my first iPod (yay!), a 30gig 5th generation. I also had a JVC KD-PDR30 cd player installed in my car so that I could hook up the iPod to it and eliminate all the random cds cluttering up my vehicle. It works great -- most of the time... the last few days I've my iPod has been randomly resetting itself while connected to the car stereo -- it's connected through the dock port (not the headphone jack) and works 90% of the time. Even still, this is frustrating. I almost want to just connect it from the headphone jack to the aux in on the car stereo. Anyway, it only seems to do this while it is connected to the car stereo. I've never had a problem with the iPod resetting while using it outside of the car. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks Apple community!!!
Theo

I had the JVC radio with iPod connector which worked just fine for my old iPod. When I upgraded to the iTouch I had to put in a new JVC stereo. The old version does not work with the iTouch (the same issues prev. stated). The new stereo has an USB hookup on the front. It plays the iTouch, but occas. the song or book will skip. At first I thought it was when I turned corners, but realized it was just random. A bit annoying. I looked at other stereos, but I could not get the iTouch and Sirus in the same unit, except for the JVC. If you can live without your iTouch I would wait until JVC or Apple address this issue. I could not live without either (I hate commercials!), so I made the jump to the first generation. I know better.

MSI H77MA-G43 AND INTEL 2ND GEN

Hello,
i have made a budget pc for a friend with the following config:
MSI H77MA-G43
INTEL I5 2400
MSI GTX 550 TI
I have installed all the drivers but i can´t get any audio or ethernet. I've read about this and i come to a conclusion that might be some problems of compatibility between h77 chipsets and 2nd generation intel processors, since h77 chipsets ware made for 3rd gen. processors.
I've already change bios, installed the latest drivers and updates the chipset controller, but nothing. Anyone can help me or do i have to change the board for a P67 chipset???
Thanks in advance,

The board runs fine with an i5-2400 and bios 1.70:
http://www.msi.com/service/download/bios-19052.html
Audio is already working with default Windows driver.
Make sure you've selected your speakers in the Playback Devices menu in Windows. It might use the VGA audio at the moment.
LAN is running fine with the Realtek driver: http://www.msi.com/service/download/driver-2697.html
What ME version is the board running on? You can check that in the Settings->System Status menu.

H77MA-G43 with Highpoint Rocketraid 640 - Not posting

Hi All,
I recently brought a H77MA-G43 and built a system running VMware ESXi which runs fine. However when I try to add a Highpoint Rocketraid 640 which works on my main PC (Asus M/B) the system wont post. I've tried numerous variations of the Bios settings for the Highpoint card but cannot find anything on the H77MA-G43 bios which would get the card working.
I have put a HP P212 Raid card on the mainboard which works fine (except for VMdirectpath I/O (works but the VM's don't see the HP card properly, I can troubleshoot this myself)) but I really do need the Highpoint functioning for the additional SATA 6Gbs ports.
A previous bios (v1.3) included support for the Rocket 620X1 Gen2 card so I thought an update to the latest bios 1.4 would help but it did not.
Does anyone have any experience or ideas on troubleshooting this sort of problem or how I go about requesting this issue to be resolved or added to a future Bios?
Cheers,

Hi,
I've got similar MB (Z77) and P212
but Raid is not working - i see the P212 initialization during boot and nowhere else - windows, linux, ESXi. (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161815.0)
Don't think this is a RAM or HDD problem...
What Cpu do you use?
Hi Andyrus,
I was planning to update this forum on my ESXi antics on my motherboard and good thing I did otherwise I would never had replied.
The CPU I have is a i5 3550, my HP P212 has a cache module but no BBWC. 16GB RAM installed (I'm at work so I cant check the brand).
http://ark.intel.com/products/65516/Intel-Core-i5-3550-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz
ESXi detects it under storage controllers and I could use it without issue. I always had arrays configured when booting, do you?
I would try the 'How To Contact MSI' link in this thread to contact MSI, they turned around a beta bios very quickly (be warned the English isn't great but they are helpful).

H77MA-G43 BLUE SCREEN in XP Pro

Today I did build a computer to a customer, I used H77MA-G43 and Intel Core i3 2100 3,1Ghz, 4Gb corsair 1333Mhz memory.
When trying to install XP Professional on the new WD Blue-500G-drive I recieve bluescreen of death before the installation starts where Im able to format the drive and continue the XP-install.
I know XP is OLD but the customer did not want to buy WIN7 at this stage.
Tried with WIN7-install and it continues to the format-drive part (ie works fine), I did not continue there...

hi, have you solved the problem? I'm too interested to know more about your problem (I'm searching an m-atx board for a win xp installation).Let's hope someone will reply, in any case please if you find a solution please report if you understand what the problem was.
many thanks
Not solved at this time, (will try IDE-mode on the drive).
Try H67-chipset instead when looking for matx-board...

Seeking another pair of eyes - MSI H77MA-G43 + i5 2500K

Hello everyone,
I have read the CPU compatibility sticky and I think I have come to a conclusion but I wanted to run it past a larger group.
I have a MSI H77MA-G43 that won't POST (sits in a power cycle "infinite loop") and I *believe* it is possible my MSI H77MA-G43 has a BIOS that is not compatible with my i5 2500K CPU.
Using the CPU Compatibility checker for my motherboard (tried to post the link - cant) - I can see that 2500Ks with D2 stepping are supported on BIOS version 7756v10.
Core i5 Sandy Bridge i5-2500K 100 3.30 1M 6M D2 95 7756v10.zip
So - I believe my issue may be I have an older motherboard BIOS and if I could find a spare CPU that will boot it - I could boot the BIOS and flash to upgrade it.
Does anyone have an opinions if that seems sane or not?
Thank you,
-A-

Dear XFM and flobelix,
Edit: I finally read it correctly Flobelix - there is no version NOT supporting :-) -- Good news!!
XFM - I'm not home right now but I will post more detailed information. For troubleshooting purposes I only have RAM (single stick or dual stick tried both) and a Geforce Ti560 video card installed.
I'm running the system outside of a case and I've tried replacing the power supply with another one - and same behavior EXCEPT there are now 3 "medium" duration beeps that occur as the system cycles on and off power.
Edit: Nevermind - symptoms exactly the same. 3 Beeps was clearly memory - I didn't have the memory seated well when I did my single channel test. Checked memory seating VERY carefully and now (with new power supply) have the identical issue.
Edit Again: My old motherboard has 2 x4pin 12V ATX connectors and the "big" ATX connector with its additional little "4pin" add on. The new motherboard has the big connector (duh + 4pin) but it only has 1x4pin 12V ATX connectors....
Any chance this has something to do with it?
Tonight I re-thermal pasted my CPU hoping it was some kind of thermal shutdown issue...no change. Still endlessly loops - I'm going to let it sit for 30minutes endlessly looping and see if anything changes.
Thank you,
-A-

Random reset of ringtone volume since update to 2.0

Since updating to 2.0 my ringtone volume level, which I keep on the hightest level, will randomly reset to mid-level, causing me to miss a number of calls. Anyone else notice this and is there a solution?
Thanks

My 1st gen iphone (16GB) is up to the same antics. Pre 2.0 all was perfect. Then then update... During calls, if you adjust the volume for either the iphone earpiece, speaker phone, or bluetooth headset (I'm using the Plantronics voyager 520, which was purchased at the apple store), the ringer volume gets adjusted as well.
Just go into the sounds option under settings, make a call, and watch in awe as you adjust your call volume and ringer volume at the same time.
I've missed calls b/c the volume resets it self to a lower (random) setting. Now I must check after every call. The best part is if you push up on your volume button while at the home screen (the ringer volume pop up appears) and note that you have it on the highest setting, go ahead and check the sound option under settings. It will be at some random lower level. Oh my phone never did this on 1.4. I do hope the engineers are reading this and release a fix ASAP. The main purpose of the iPhone is to be a phone. Missing calls due to a low ringer volume is crazy.
Oh, I've already restored, don't bother, problem was not resolved. I haven't come across any other problems with the 2.0 update.

Random reset of Linksys router

Problem: Linksys router randomly resets in small business environment.
Model Number: WRK54G V2.0 (Router is part of Linksys Network Kit.)
Router Firmware: 1.00.1
Observations: Linksys router resets when Sony laptops are using the Linksys router and other routers (from neighboring small business) are on.
However,
Linksys router does not reset when Sony laptops are not using the Linksys router.
Linksys router does not reset when Sony laptops are using the Linksys router and the other routers (from neighboring small businesses) are off. This was discovered during after hours when neighboring small business were able to turned off their routers.
Solutions found on internet search: All internet search solutions found to date recommend replacing the Linksys router with another brand of wireless router. Solutions date back to March 2005.
Question 1: Does Linksys have a solution for using Sony laptops in a multi-router non-Linksys environment?
Question 2: What is happening in the Linksys router to cause it to reset?

H77MA-G43 + F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXM + i5 Ivy

HI there,
Exists some known incompatibility with G.Skill modules F3-12800CL9Q-16GBXM (low voltage) and MSI H77MA-G43 motherboard?
By the way, are reported some critical or recurrent problems with H77MA-G43?
Tks folks
Non English language removed, >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<

GSkill ram has proven to to be far from great for MSI systems. None the less there is no known incompatibility with the listed sticks. Also there are no "critical or recurrent problems" with H77MA-G43.
If you want to ask about an individual problem follow >>Posting Guide<< and describe it as exactly as possible.

H77MA-G43

Hello,
I am going to build a custom PC using the msi H77MA-G43 motherbooard and the Intel Core i5 3550 and 1600mhz RAM. I was wonderingif it is required to overclock the motherboard or CPU to support 1600mhz, or does the motherboard support 1600mhz without overclocking? Thanks

I haven't used this board myself, but from the posts on here it seems it gets tempremental with memory more than other platforms. I wouldn't get my hopes up too high for any big memory oc's, this one was designed for stability with minor if any oc of any type.
I am actually thinking about building my next round of office computers with this board.

H77MA-G43 ESXI passthrough

I can success install the ESXI 5 on H77MA-G43 and I can see this mother board is supported VT-D. However, I cannot success passthrough my ATI 7750 display card to my VM. The VM is going to blue screen when I install the ATI display card driver. Can some one help me?
My VM is Window 7 64bit
BIOS version 7756v17
Thanks

Flashing your IMB M1015 RAID Controller to an LSI Firmware allowed it to work in esxi? Did you alter any setting on the MSI h77ma-g43 BIOS?
I have an LSI MegaRaid 9240-4i controller and when installed it hangs when loading vSphere esxi 5.x.x.
the Raid card works on 2 of my other MSI motherboards both "A55M-P33" and just swapping the motherboard it hangs when booting esxi 5.x.x.
I have Injected the latest LSI drivers into a custom esxi .iso but it still won't boot past "Loading module megaraid_sas ...".
I have tried ESXi 5.0, 5.0.u1, and 5.1.
My MSI h77ma-g43 BIOS is up to date v1.9
Any help would be appreciated as MSI technical support keeps telling me "our consumer boards aren't tested with server grade RAID Controllers.
Sorry for not replying sooner. The card worked regardless of flash/rom in the top PCI-E slot of the MB only and yes I flashed it to LSI IT firmware and used it for pass through. I used ESXi 5.0, and 5.0.u1. 5.1 worked but I couldn't pass my USB controller anymore so I downgraded to 5.1.u1

H77MA-G43 Intel Turbo boost question.

Hi,
so I've recently bought a MSI H77MA-G43 board to fit in my Intel i7 3770 (non K).
My question is that when I use some hw monitor to show which frequency my CPU is running, it is almost always running all 4 cores at 3.7Ghz. Even when I put load just on 1 core, all 4 cores rise up to 3.7Ghz. AFAIK if I run single threaded app it should turbo boost one core to 3.9Ghz right? Is it a problem or is this normal?
Thank you

Quote from: l.dotung on 27-February-15, 04:02:53
So is the behavior of my CPU turbo boost normal?
Might be, here is the answer from Martin (creator of HWiNFO) about my CPU.

Here is an example, different CPU but you will see the different turbo boost in the max column that were applied at some stage.
Which CPU and board?
