MSI 790xt-g45 - BIOS not loading

Some time ago, a power surge occurred with no preventative measures. The computer was operational during the outage, and I did not unplug the computer. Upon powering on, there is no splash, beep, or anything of the sort. CPU fan is running, and all four APS LEDs are on.
Directly relevant specs are:
Hiper Type R Mk-II 680W power supply; attempted replacement with Silencer Mk II 750W power supply
MSI 790xt-g45 mobo
Is this borked beyond belief, or is there a chance that this may be recoverable?

Start by clearing the >>CMOS<< with the power cord disconnected.
Test with another stick of RAM.
Test with another CPU.
Test with another graphics card.
Disconnect the hard drive/s during testing.
Process of elimination really. By test each component in turn you'll hopefully find out what's wrong. May be worth taking the motherboard out of the case and running it bare bones on a piece of cardboard during testing.

MSI Z87-G45 will not load OS with two SATA HDD's connected

I have an MSI Z87-G45 board and I am attempting to connect a second SATA HDD. Each time I connect the second disk and then power up the workstation I get the following message:
Reboot and Select proper Boot device
or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device and press a key
The primary HDD is a WD 160GB drive and the secondary drive that I am attempting to connect is a WD 2TB drive. I am not trying to dual boot, I just need a second disk for a little more space available. I am not sure if there are some settings that would need to be changed in the BIOS, but I would think that by default I could connect a secondary HDD, and it would be recognized as such. Anyone else dealt with this or have any pointers? This is really driving me crazy.
I should note everything else with the workstation works perfectly, it's just when adding a second drive, it will no longer load windows 7 from the 160GB drive.

That is one reason this is driving me crazy, I have made sure that the 160GB drive is primary in the boot process. Is there anything else you can think of that may be causing this?

Msi z77a-g45 - BIOS not saving loop

Hi there, I picked up a msi z77a-g45 and an i5 3750k, 4x4GB Kingston RAM, etc etc.
I'm an experienced system builder, but this is my first build in i5 land, or actually on an MSI board. The issue I've got is when I first booted, it shows the "CPU or memory changed !!" and to press F1 for setup or F2 to load defaults and continue. Cool, expected on first boot. I enter setup, get the BIOS how I want it, save and reboot, it immediately shuts my box off and 2 seconds later, back on. All good so far.
But it again prompts the "CPU or memory changed !!" warning. Err...it showed my CPU properly in the BIOS, same with memory.
I've now gone through it quite a few times, and it always re-prompts me to go into the BIOS again or F2 to use defaults.
Doing the F2 deal will get me into Windows, but upon reboot I get the error again and have to F2 again just to boot.
I've tried using Click BIOS to make changes, it however doesn't show any memory in here (updated to latest Click BIOS version), but does show my CPU fine. Shows 0GB.
I've also updated my BIOS to release 25 this morning, no change.
Anyone else have this happen at all? I suppose my next steps will be to drop to a single stick of memory, see if that goes, or do a full 'remove battery' cmos clear. I've tried pushing the clear button on back of mobo but didn't seem to do anything.
Would really appreciate any ideas, thanks all!

MSI 790XT-G45 Various Crashes - Frustrated

Prior to purchasing my MSI 790XT-G45 mainboard everything ran great. However after swapping out my old motherboard for this one I experience many various crashes in different games. Here is a list of some games that crash:
Lost Planet (this one worked prior to swap)
Black Site Area 51
Microvolts
World of Tanks
Games that do work:
Diablo2
Minecraft
Monopoly Here and Now Edition
Halo CE
Any Browser Games
I tried variations of drivers etc. etc. and I have even recently re-installed the whole OS and let windows 7 (yes I'm running 64 bit) pick out the drivers. These games that crash run great but then crash out of complete randomness. Lost Planet get's a windows error message like Microvolts. Blacksite get's more spefic error messages but do not tell any clues as to why those crashes happened. World of Tanks usually just crashes to Desktop without warning with a rare occasion of a Windows error message.

I noticed that in the bios it said my cpu speed was 2.97 Ghz while it's actually 2.7 Ghz. I don't think that'd be causing the problem though.
Remove any OC, go to BIOS setup and load bios defaults.

High latency with MSI 790XT-G45 under W7

I have decided myself to go for W7 one one of my rigs.I ve got some genuine disks of 32 and 64 and loaded W7 for testing purposes .
As my intention is to use the 790XT-G45 (considering it more W7 suited than my Platinum beeing newer more CPU support) tryed both W7 versions , but there is a problem.
Using the DPC high latency tool i get like 100 us under any W7 version with this 790XT-G45.The same board is ok latency wise under XP ,it hovers around 10-20 us when you re not doing anything serious with it .I have to remind that on this board i ve also had some issues with the big mouse cursor thing that seems to be related to motherboard latencyes.
In the past i ve used the K9A2 Platinum with W7 64 RC with the same video card and sound card that i use now on the 790XT-G45 ,but the latency was always 10-20 us.In fact trying again the Platinum gives me under W7 like 10-20 us.
I ve tryed disableing onboards ,removing the Creative and updating to latest BIOS version but no joy.The latency also adds some drag to the system i mean W7 windows don t look to snappy like it feels on Platinum.
So is this board compatible to W7 for real ?
What is so different between the 2 boards ,does the 790X have bigger latencyes than the 790 FX from the Platinum.One of the issues is that even if i would choose the Platinum CPU upgrade path closes.
I repeat i ve tested both boards with default W7 drivers and with vendors drivers and same thing.
Any user with 790XT-G45 encountering this under W7 ?
At first glance it s not a very big issue ,but i m very sure this 100 us get s me while playing to more and i really hate input lag and static on my sound.
Any ideas ?

Hi Guys,
I agree with Sm3K3R that a 70+ microsecond increase in average DPC latency will have an undesirable affect on some apps (games, real-time streaming, etc.). I also believe that what is good for XP will almost certainly not be good for Windows 7. Too much of the architecture has changed. Better drivers may help going forward. To me, the bigger question is why this mobo takes so much longer to run these routines than the K9A2.
I do not have any serious problems with the apps I run. Some of them may run better with a shorter average DPC latency. I have no way to tell with what I currently have to work with. Other bottlenecks may be in play. I was just responding to Sm3K3R's request for feedback. My power option is set to high performance and my base configuration has 41 processes running, including Diskeeper real-time defragmenter, Avira Antivirus, Logitech SetPoint, Process Lasso's process governor, PeerBlocker, and TaskDock. It also includes the Microsoft search functions and the sidebar with 2 gadgets running. Most of these processes run as services. I thought it was the search, sidebar, or one or more of the non-Microsoft products causing my base 100+ average latency indicated by the DPC high latency tool, so I ran LatencyMon to find out.
I ran it several times for 2 to 5 minutes at a time, starting when the system was idle. The Nvidia display and NT Kernel & System drivers always topped the list, with latencies from 50 to 114 microseconds. The display driver's routine also ran much more often than any thing else, followed, about 60% less often, by the NT Kernel & System driver. Thus these 2 drivers contribute the most to my average DPC latency. The other products listed above most often had 0 or less than 15 microsecond DPC latencies. Once I saw this, I did not bother to check my game configuration which does not have the search, sidebar, and the non-Microsoft products listed above in it.
During a Google search of this issue, I read that someone reduced their average Windows 7 DPC latency by 50 microseconds by turning off the HPET timer. I tried this and it did not work for me.
Looking forward to the results of Sm3K3R's further testing and feedback from others.

MSI 970A-G45 will not complete POST

Every so often, out of the blue, the system won't boot up.
Hitting reset doesn't help, disconnecting the power and letting it sit doesn't help.
The system powers on, begins it's POST, but after initializing the drives (HDD light flashes, CD ROM light comes on, goes off) it cycles again (right about the time it should initialize the video, it seems to loop back to the beginning of the POST - so I don't get any POST codes on the screen when this happens). It cycles through, initializes the drives again, and then starts over. IF however I pull either stick of RAM, it then will get past this, and continue on with the post. I can shut the system off as soon as I see the keyboard lights flash, re-insert the RAM, power up, and it's all back to normal. Resetting the CMOS does the same thing, but if I pull a RAM stick, then I don't have to set up the CMOS again. I have tried other RAM, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Again, if it was the PSU, the board wouldn't "lock" in the looped state, and disconnecting all the drives would release it from any power induced failure if that was the issue, and as I posted before, disconnecting all the drives will not release the board from it's locked state. In my previous posts, I also stated that this failure happened before the system had all these drives in it. Another point, people have been underestimating power supplies for years - which is good for the manufacturers of high end power supplies, but bad news for our wallets. My power supply can support this system, plus about another 10 or more hard drives before things would get dodgy. This is something I have tested quite extensively since the late 80's when IBM PCs were still using 63W supplies, but everyone wanted a 150W in their "clones".
It should also be noted that the 5V and 12V rails are isolated from the voltages used by the processor and RAM. They aren't even connected to the same electrolytic capacitors.
in short, "If your car still rattles when the engine is off, the problem isn't the gas you are using!"
PS - thanks for the advice so far, but since it's happened with 2 different supplies and under much less load, we need to stop focusing on the power supply. For the record, I ran the numbers again, and under 60% load (which is triple the average load on this thing when not editing video) I could add 10 more high rpm SATA hard disks and still be drawing under 600W. Yes, hard disks draw a lot of short term power at spin up, but power supplies can supply well beyond their maximum rating for short periods of time, so it balances out!
While I am at it, I thought I'd let you all "meet the beast".

MSI Z87-G45 BIOS Temps

I am having an issue with the BIOS displaying 99 degrees Celsius in the BIOS menu. It ramps up rather quick loading into the BIOS from around 50 degrees to 99 which it stays at. Touching the heatsink itself it feels cool to the touch which leads me to believe its not displaying the temps right. Also in windows my idle temps are around 45-55 but under load they can go up to the high 90's.
I am using a MSI Z87-G45 board with a 4670k Haswell which I know run a lot hotter and seems to cap at 100 degrees with just the stock cooler... well until my new cooler ships.
If I were to guess I would say it seems the BIOS is putting some load on the CPU, which would be fine just seems odd. Any insight anyone had on this situation would be great as the little research I have done I have never seen anyone open up the BIOS to temps any higher then 55 degrees on YouTube.
Thanks guys

I just checked that literally after posting that thread. I was certain that it was seated well as I've been playing all types of games on it with no issues but thought I would reapply some paste... only to see that it didn't even make contact. Makes me remember why I'm not a huge fan of the stock Intel cooler hold downs. Now I'm bordering on embarrassed and amazed that the CPU didn't start frying or at least restarting.
Thanks for the help none the less.

New build with MSI 970A-G45 won't load OS or live CD

Motherboard: MSI 970A-G45 AM3+ AMD 970
CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 455 Rana 3.3 Ghz Socket AM3
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Series 2x4GB DDR3 1866, Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR
Video Card (original): ASUS ENGTX550 TI DC/DI/1GD5 GeForce GTX 550 Ti
Video Card (operational): XFX 7600 GT
System HD: Runcore 64GB Sata II SSD
Optical Drive: LITE-ON SATA DVD-RW drive
I just finished building a new upgrade build into an existing case with an existing PSU and hard drives/optical drive. Originally the system wouldn't power on at all, which I traced to the new video card (something to do with grounding or an inadequate power supply maybe?), but in any case I got past that for the moment with my old video card. The system will power on and get to the BIOS screen. I can enter the BIOS and everything looks fine: all my drives are detected, the RAM is present, the CPU looks correct. However, when I go to actually load an operating system, it never loads. After the BIOS screen I just get a blank screen with a white blinking cursor in the upper-left corner, and this never goes away (I've tried leaving it for 10 minutes or more).
Originally I was trying to boot from the mentioned SSD which has both Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7 64-bit partitions installed with GRUB2 to load them. This didn't load, so I tried an Ubuntu 11.04 live CD in my DVD-ROM drive. That didn't work, so I tried the same CD in an external USB CD-ROM drive in case it was a problem with the SATA controller/connectors. Still the same behavior. So I tried a memtest86+ CD in both drives. Still the same behavior. For each of the tests after the first I explicitly opened the boot menu with F11 at the BIOS screen and selected the device I wanted to try.
At this point I've already tried exchanging the memory I had originally bought with the memory I listed above, since the old memory I realized after I bought it was labelled as "Intel i5/i7 compatible" and the new memory is on the MSI support list for this motherboard model. Any thoughts on where to go next? My next thought was to RMA the motherboard but I feel like I'm flying blind here. I've never see a new build get stuck at this point in the boot process.

OK posting from Ubuntu on my now-working build!!
So, after two weeks of messing around with the CPU, RAM, video card, etc., I finally have the thought that the one thing I haven't tried yet is the old SATA expansion PCI card that I put in early on at the bottom of the motherboard underneath the video card (out of direct sight, out of mind apparently), for when I try to connect all 7 of my SATA devices. I tried pulling that out - presto, it boots. Retried a couple of times for proof, keeps booting correctly. It can even load memtest86+ off a CD. Put the PCI card back in - still boots. Reconnected the sata drive - no boot. Remembered that this particular PCI card has two SATA ports and one is for RAID of some kind, tried the other port - now it boots. The drive connected to the card is also detected by the OS.
In conclusion, it was something entirely different from what I was working on, as it usually is.
I'm going to get to work connecting everything back up, getting the new video card working, etc. I suspect I'll be back at least to read when I try to get my memory working at 1866 (different forum I know). Thanks to those who responded for the pointers.

MSI Z87-G45 Gaming not entering setup or boot menu

Please someone help, I am getting no setup or boot menu, case & CPU fans come on, drives come on, led's come on, but blank screen.
I took out the graphic card & ram sticks, pulled the plug for leds & case fans, took all cables off HDD's, now only cpu & one stick of ram in dimm 2 connected + power switch.
plugged vga cable direct in MB, blank screen, then plugged cable in MB HDMI, blank screen.
tested monitor, ram & power supply in my sons computer which is a x58 LGA1366, all worked well.
I have no means of testing motherboard or cpu.
specs:
MB: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
CPU: i5-4670k
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical 1866MHz 9-9-9-27 1.5v
PSU: Corsair CS650M
I also tried another PSU a Thermaltake AP850W
P.S.
I have reset all i.e. pulled plug, taken battery out, pressed reset & shorted the two reset pins next to battery.

newer board are different they need at least a CPU to even show a code as they use that to activate the BIOS and if they do not have that it will FAIL to post anything as the board is used as a backbone as nearly all the important stuff is on the CPU itself (Processor, IMC, SATA controller, Network Controller, VRM (on Haswell), GPU and many other things) so it will fail to post as before it was only a processor but now there more of a system on chip really and has most of the important stuff that used to be on the Board itself so without that the Motherboard is just an electrical plane with impressively limited connections as all the good stuff is now on the Processor that you do not have!
There is not much that you can tell till you at least get that CPU as the board has nothing to work with as there is nothing to process the signals from the BIOS so its just a useless item so shows nothing.

MSI Z87-G45 BIOS

So today I decided to check how my MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Socket-1150 BIOS looked like so i pressed the enter BIOS option on the GO2BIOS utility app, my PC restarted and the screen stayed black for 10 minutes.... So I booted back to windows and disabled fast boot and tried to enter BIOS manually that didnt work either. So my problem is that my BIOS won't show at all. The PC is functional and there are no problems with it, can still boot into windows and go on about my day. But i would love to be able to enter BIOS.....

Oh great you found the solution Thanks for an update

MSI Z77A-G45 (bios v. 2.5) not reading ANY graphics cards

Hey all. I've tried 3 different graphics cards (GTX 680, 670, and 285). No display output. Fans are spinning. Nothing I've tried on the computer from the nvidia java applets to installing the latest drivers for each respective card has worked. They all tell me the same thing: cannot detect any graphics device.
I know about the obvious stuff (power plugged in, appropriated size PSU, installed firmly, the GTX 285 worked fine on another PC).
Anything I'm missing? Trying out a new MOBO tomorrow.
Thanks!

Update: Just fixed it myself. After some googling I did what I think is a "CMOS" update. in which I simply removed the MOBO battery and put it back in.
Now everything is just peachy. Man, I had agonized about this for a solid week.
Thanks anyway!
