Re: MSI Gaming 5 motherboard loses its BIOS settings after power outage.

 Yup, it could be a short causing CMOS to clear whenever MB loses power for whatever reason. Also check JBAT1 (clear CMOS jumper) and insure there is no jumper or no bent pin(s) there. Check this 1st before going to the trouble of removing MB for testing.

    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

    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.

    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!

  • New Computer locks up then loses some bios settings

    I just built a new system with the following pieces
    2.40 gigahertz AMD Athlon 64 4000
    Board: MS-7025
    Bus Clock: 200 megahertz
    BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 02/17/2005

    photosmart printer card reader (HPH11) [Hard drive] -- drive 2
    PLATINUM 080G 2F5400 USB Device [Hard drive] (81.96 GB) -- drive 1
    Occasionally system will have a hard freeze and require a reboot.  When this happens some of my bios setting change (agp becomes pci, I have to setup raid0 again and video card memory becomes 128).  This does not happen after a normal startup and no other changes occur i.e. time and date are not reset.  Thanks for any help.
    Clint

    You lose of bios settings is classic lack of power.  The 12v output for Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W is only 18a MAX, meaning you will essentially run @ about 12a under normal conditions.  This isn't enough power for the Neo 2, which likes good clean power in the 24a range.

  • MSI GAMING motherboard, the first choice of top players recognized high-quality

    Hi guys,
    I just saw an interesting topic, and can’t wait to share it with all of you.
    We all know that MSI GAMING motherboard is the first choice of top players recognized motherboard,
    But is there anybody who knows how could MSI keep quality control standards high?
    Now, follow my step to MSI factory for making an exploration. 
    First, MSI strengthens the inspection of product line quality,
    From Q4 in 2013, MSI lead-in precision Automated Optical Inspection on product inspection (includes CPU PIN/Surface Mounting Technology and Dip In Put/Manual Insertion), so the problem of wrong material mounting can be effectively avoided through the automation of testing system.
    Exclusive water soluble reflow—solves the problem of residue on motherboards.
    Through MSI exclusive water soluble reflow, FLUX becomes soluble and removable. That indeed extends the life of the motherboards that are used under austere surroundings, such as cybercafé. 
    This is why MSI motherboards get a good write-up in the media press all over the world.
    MSI adhere to provide the motherboards in top quality for all players.

    wow~~ what's this machine! isn't it the confidential photos? XDDDD
    It seems a nice lab!

  • MSI Gaming Motherboards SLI Question

    Hello, I've looked through several of the MSI Gaming motherboards, and I've noticed that they all support 3-way CrossFire, but only 2-way SLI. Why is this? Are there any MSI gaming motherboards that support 3-way SLI, or would I have to get a different kind?
    Thanks!

    Quote from: badboy2k on 10-June-15, 18:19:47
    the only z97 board that can do 3 or 4 way SLI that MSI makes is the Z97 XPOWER AC as it has PLX (PCI Lane Splitters) chips and can support PCI-E Gen3 (0, 16, 0, 0, 0), (16, 0, 0, 16, 0), 16, 0, 0, 8, 8), (8, 0, 8, 8, 8)
    Honestly, that's a hack and it should be avoided.
    The PLX chip comes with significant latency issues.
    Native CPU x8-x8 is faster than PLX x16-x16
    That's why the PLX chip is disabled in 2-way SLI on most of the motherboards who support it.
    It makes sense for 3-way and 4-way, but the performances boost is minimal.
    So the best solution is always a CPU with 28 or 40 PCI-E lanes.

  • I had to restore my computer to its original settings after a crash. I backed up my files before hand so I didn't lose data in memory. When I ran Firefox from it, my bookmarks are gone. How can I get them back if I can?

    My computer had trouble starting for a long time. Taking it to the shop didn't help. Today it just wouldn't start at all. In a desperation move I restored it to its original settings as if I just bought it. I chose the backup files version so that I didn't lose any data in memory, though I do have to restore some settings. When I ran Firefox all my bookmarks are gone. Everything is in the My Backup folder. How can I get my bookmarks back if I can?

    As always, iphone will sync with one comptuer at a time.  Syncing to another will erase the current content.
    The backup that itunes performs does not include any itunes content.  You should keep everything on your computer and should always maintain a backup copy of your computer.

  • HP Photosmart 7510 occasional​ly loses its wireless settings

    I have a HP Photosmart 7510 which occasionally loses its WPA-PSK secret and manually set IP address.
    To solve the problem I have to re-enter the SSID's WPA-PSK secret and set the manual IP address (I prefer having the printer on a specific IP address).
    To my knowledge the printer has not been powered down and there were no power failure - though I would expect these values to have been stored in non-volatile memory.
    Is this a known issue?
    If so is there a firmware fix - currently running VEP1CN1137CR(113730)

    I can assure you that it is not a router issue.  It appears to me that it is a driver compatibility with Windows OS.  After trying to get to the bottom of this since my Photosmart 7525 was new and reading just about every forum and blog, I have come to the conclusion that the issue must be related to the HP driver itself.  
    The issue does not seem to affect any Mac systems, and from one forum someone was able to fix it by downloading new drivers compatible with 64-bit systems (which seem to not be affected by the glitch).  But that leaves us 32-bit people stuck with the current driver which does not work.
    The printer is connected with good signal to the wireless router (no matter who's router it is and what configuration is made).  The printer can be pinged from the router and any computer on the network which is not currently being affected by this issue.  However, the affected computer fails pings by either request timed out, or destination host unreachable.  Pings are successful from the affected computer to any other device on the network.  The only way to recover (at least for a few days) is to reboot the affected computer.
    Also, from the display on the 7525, the network tests pass without issue.  I can also download and print content from the internet with no issues.  
    Please do a quick google search of this issue and you will see several THOUSAND entries of people with the same request.  This is a serious issue that people are having and everything is pointing to an HP problem (not routers, improper installation of software or drivers, etc...).  I agree with several other customers that HP should be on the hook for this fix.  I will give it another couple weeks, then back to the store for a reliable unit from another competitor (Canon, Lexmark, etc..)
    Thank you in advance for escalating this issue to product engineering,

  • WRV210 loses port forwarding settings after reboot

    Along with wireless problems that have already been documented about this device I am having problems with port forwarding where it will lose all its settings after losing its power.  I then try to go into the management for port forwarding and am not able to put the settings back in as every time I hit 'Save' it just loads the page back up with no settings applied.  Another strange thing is that the protocol comboboxes only have options for UDP or Both. 
    I then reapply the latest firmware and am able to enter the settings again.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I'm at my wits end with this one.
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Lenovo G50-30 Unable to access BIOS settings after Windows recovery

    Hi
    I recently 'downgraded' a recently purchased Lenovo G50-30 with preinstalled Windows 8.1 to Windows 7 using a UEFI USB install on a GPT partition. I also updated the BIOS from A7CN40WW to the latest A7CN43WW and all was working fine. However, after performing a necessary restore of an system image created using the Windows 7 backup and restore tool, I am suddenly unable to access the BIOS settings, either with the novo button (I do get the menu to select BIOS) or with Fn +F2. All that happens is that I receive a blank screen with a static cursor in the upper left corner. I can however still access the boot menu Fn +F12. This is a particular pain as I obviousl can't select USB 3.0 in BIOS.
    Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

    OK, I managed to clear CMOS by disassembling and desoldering a leg off the the RTC battery but to no avail. The problem seems to be that BIOS a7cn43ww itself has somehow been corupted. In theory this should be able to be resolved by a reflash. The trouble here is there seems to be no way to reflash with a current or previous BIOS version, so I'll have to either wait for a newer version or someone may know better.
    C'mon Lenovo support this simply isn't good enough. It's a brand new laptop and I'm considering returning it for a refund.

  • Lose settings after power cycle.

    I noticed the iPhone (firmware 1.1.1) will occassionally lose internet WAP settings for my carrier after power cycling (turning off then back on). The top left menu displays the correct wireless carrier and has the "E" for EDGE coverage but fails to access the network via EDGE for email/internet browsing due to the WAP settings are erased. I have to then enter the WAP settings again. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I reinstalled my firmware but couldn't find a solution to this. After installing the latest firmware 1.1.2 I no longer experience the issue with the reset settings.

  • Help buying MSI Gaming Motherboard

    Hi there are so many motherboards i'm kinda confuse can u suggest me models that fit these specifications :
    - smallest , cheapest and i will NOT overclock
    - ready DX 12 / Windows 10 / hololens /steam controller / steam VR
    - Intel Core i7-4790 4Ghz   1150
    - single pcex16 slot  for nvidia GTX TITAN X
    - 2 ddr3 slots 1600mh 32gb (2x16)
    - 3/4 sata slots
    - usb 3.1 and 3.0 slots
    - 3 or more audio jacks
    - EVGA SuperNOVA 750G2 80PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V/EPS12V 750W

    Hi
    For USB 3.1 you would need Z97A motherboard which are standard ATX size. 4 DDR3 slot, couple PCIe slots (at least 1 x16 and 1 x8 plus some others).
    If you can sacrifice USB  3.1 to have smaller board etc , then Z97I Gaming AC or Z97M Gaming should fit you.
    DX12 ready: I believe this depends on graphics card.
