Z77 Mpower 1 stick memory

Hi,
I bought the above today, but it will not boot if memory slots 3 and/or 4 are occupied. Slots 1 and 2work ok. If i put single stick in, slots 1 and 2 will work. with slots 3 or 4 i get debug error 55.
Can anyone help. All works fine P67a GD65.
Thanks

Hi All,
Just an update, I took the board back to the shop where i bought it this morning. They also found that only Dimm slots 1 and 2 were working. anytime we put dimms into 3 or 4 (be it 1 and3 or 2 and 4) it would just idle on error 55, not matter if in or out of a case.
They have replaced it with a new board which is now up and running, and all is good. I know this isnt quite the result you want to hear, as id like to know whats was up with it. No doubt it will be sent back to MSi for checking.
Many many thanks for all your help and prompt replies, and sorry for my non posts until today, i had to go away on friday for work, and only got back last night.
Now begins the job of overclocking my cpu to see what i can get.

Z77 Mpower boot issue - won't POST

Hi there
Got a question regarding a PC build that isn't working as well as hoped. Doing this on behalf of my friend but I've been helping him while he builds it so have a good idea of what's been going on.
Set up is as follows:
Processor: Core i5 3570k (stock, not overclocked or anything)
Motherboard: MSI Z77 Mpower
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance memory (in 2x4gb)
PSU: Corsair 800W Gaming PSU
Storage: OCZ 240GB SSD
Cooling: Zalman water cooling (can't remember the exact model off hand I'm afraid, will try and get that later)
Graphics: HD 4000 integrated (for now, haven't got the graphics card yet)
We built the machine and got it going no problem. When it was first built it booted no problem, so we set up boot priorities and then installed the Windows 8 Enterprise 90 day trial. All good so far. Installed no problem at all at lightning speed and we got into Windows fine. Installed lots of drivers and so forth with no such trouble either. CPU was reporting a steady 25C average temperature on idle and everything seemed to be going smoothly.
Then we hit a stumbling block. We powered off the machine to make a minor adjustment in the case (all while static protected with a wristband), and after doing this we then powered the machine back on. We're now getting a dim red LED (almost seemed half powered) in the DrMOS overheat warning and then two bright blue LEDs next to it indicating the CPU power phase. The fans will spin and case LEDs come on, but nothing else happens other than that and the LEDs. No POST screen or anything like that. It might also be worth noting that now when you plug the computer in, the green LED on the internal power button no longer lights while the machine is off - when the machine was working it would.
I've spent hours trawling through the forums and can't seem to find the same problem happening. We're getting a bit worried that there could be a fault on the board but wondered if we could get some advice from here first. I tried resetting the CMOS with no avail and trying the other BIOS.
As a last resort, we've now removed the cooler and CPU to check the CPU hasn't melted or anything drastic like that and it's absolutely fine - no visible damage. We've left it like that for now until I can get back over there with some more thermal paste to reseat the processor and cooler so until then we're stuck anyway.
If anyone has any ideas or knows of the problem, it would be really appreciated as we're a bit worried! What should we try?
Thank you!

Many thanks, will give that a try. Is it an RMA to MSI if that fails then? Forgive me for not totally understanding consumer rights - but it was only bought around a week ago - could we get the supplier to exchange it or would it have to go to MSI for repair?
Quote from: xmad on 27-December-12, 05:16:31
Next, remove the main board and place it on a non-conductive surface and test it with a single stick of ram in dimm 2, cpu & cooler. You can try switching the ram ram sticks and dimms, but the last few times I saw anything about the drmos alarm it was a defective mainboard.
While it is out and the cpu is removed though, take a good look at the cpu socket pins and count all the stand off to make sure there are not extras.

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.

Z77 MPOWER Overclocking Issue

I just got a Z77 Mpower a few days ago and this board is driving me nuts. I like the potential it is showing but something seems off. I am working on overclocking a 2600K that I was previously able to hit 4.9GHz on an Asus P8P67 at 1.48V. I have been able to hit 5GHz easily on less voltage with the Mpower but there is something wrong. On the P8P67 when running IBT it was getting 130+ GFlops and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility showed the processor was using 120-130 watts, on the MPower I am getting around 70 GFlops and it is only using 95 watts. I know the 2600K has a stock max TDP of 95 watts, so I am thinking there must be a setting in the BIOS to push past that. I have set all of the power settings to 250 watts and it still seems to be capped at 95 watts. I have also disabled overspeed protection. What am I doing wrong?

PirateDog, thanks for the advice but that didn't change anything.
I believe I have found the problem with low Gflops in IBT. It appears to be the RAM, I have run a benchmark called Passmark Performance Test 8 and it is showing my memory is only performing at half of what it was in my P8P67 and I beleieve that this can account for the GFlops being cut in half as well. The memory I have is 16GB of Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B. I have made sure that it is being detected as dual channel through CPU-Z and even tried pulling a pair just to see how it would run with just two sticks and no change. I have ordered some new RAM, 8GB Kingston HyperX Beast http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A771ZWI/ref=pe_385040_30332200_pe_309540_26725410_item. If anyone knows if there is a setting in the BIOS that would cause this kind of behavior please let me know or if there is some other way to test how the RAM is truly performing.

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.

Z77 MPOWER stuck at A2 fault code

Hello!
Ive been working on this issue since yesterday morning and thought I would post here to see if the is a simple solution I am missing.
Completed the build about 4 months ago. Have had no problems. Computer was running fine, then it was left over night and it restarted and froze seconds into the boot showing A2 in the lower right hand corner of the screen. (it also reads on the motherboard LED panel) It is not finishing Post, entering BIOS or OS
What I've tried so far:
1 Cleared CMOS via button on back. got to a screen that said everything had been reset to default values and to press f1 to set up or f2 to continue. When I press F1 it says "entering Setup..." on the bottom of the screen but goes no further. Sometimes the computer shuts off then comes back on, once back on it stops at displaying A2 on the screen. When I press f2 nothing happens.
2 Tried switching to other BIOS with MULTI-BIOS switch, Same issue.
3 I got a wired keyboard to make sure it was getting a signal. Issue remains.
4 I unplugged everything except Ram, PSU, GPU, CPU. Issue remains
5 got a PSU tester, tested the PSU-was bad- so I replaced it. Issue remains.
6 Read that A2 was a VGA fault-Tried with onboard video. Bought a cheap Video card to see if that would work, Issue remains.
7 created bootable Bios memory card using tool from this forum and could not get it to boot from The thumb drive.
Any ideas?

Here is the list of codes;
http://www.ami.com/support/doc/AMI_Aptio_4.x_Status_Codes_PUB.pdf
0xA2 IDE Detect It's got nothing to do with VGA.
Use just one of the RAM sticks in the primary DIMM slot for testing (DIMM2). Clear CMOS again, PSU power cord removed, battery removed. Was this a migrated OS or fresh install? Z77 defaults to AHCI Mode, if the OS was originally installed under IDE, it will not boot.
A2 may be a failed HDD/SSD.
Added: We have seen it many times that a PSU may even pass a test but still be faulty. Just saw it here at the forum yesterday. Exactly what did you replace the failed PSU with? Brand and specifications please. Cougar 1000 in your sig? I will look up specs for it.
2nd add: Not too impressed with that multi +12v rail design. +12V1@24A, +12V2@24A, +12V3@24A, +12V4@24A, +12V5@28A, +12V6@28A
This suggestion would be plenty of power for your system configuration and much better being a +12v single rail model;
>> TX750 V2 <<
Best troubleshooting thought I have is it is a failed SSD that has the OS on it.

Z77 MPower RAM problems (BSOD)

Hi!
So i'm writing on this forum because im having huge problems with BSOD (0x0000001a - Memory managment) on my z77 mpower mobo.
My PC:
Windows 7
Intel i5 - 3570K
MSI Z77 MPOWER
ATI HD5850
G.Skill 4GBx2 (F3-12800cl9d-8GBXL)
Corsair TX650
Latest Beta Bios (Same in 17.3, 17.4)
Problems emerges when i put RAM in slot #2 and #4 like described in manuals (initial slots). I even get errors on Memtest86 but when I put RAM in slots #1 and #3 there is no Memtest errors. If i test only 1 bank of memory i get wierd timming in Memtest .
RAM: 804 MHz (DDR3-1608) / CAS : 6-6-6-20 (11-11-11-28 when in dual channel) - Original timming are 9-9-9-24. And when im using single stick of ram slot 1 or 2 have timmings 6-6-6-20 and slot 3 and 4 have 11-11-11-28.
About that error in memtest86. I get error (1 error every loop) in test 8. If I lauch memtest86 right after BSOD (always the same) i get 300 errors in 10 seconds (SLOT 2 AND 4) .
XMP does not solve BSODs.
I dont really know what else could i write to help you understand my problem .

Quote from: xmad on 21-November-12, 02:19:57
I suggest you borrow some memory to test(Any other DDR3), if the problem re-presents itself, I suggest you remove the cpu and inspect the cpu pins for damage. Do this with a bright light and magnifying glass.
already inspected pins and all is fine. Now i need other RAM to test.
Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 21-November-12, 03:31:36
If you are getting errors in Memtest, the RAM is most likely at fault and should be replaced. As for the CPU-Z readings, they can't be completely trusted. I see once in awhile on the SPD Tab the wrong chip programming being reported, so glitches exist with the SW. Does CPU-Z still read wrong when just one RAM stick is placed in DIMM 2, the primary DIMM slot which is the second slot from the CPU?
The RAM sticks should be initially tested each individually using Memtest in the primary DIMM slot, not both together in slots 2 and 4, or 1 and 3. IMO, you have a factory screwup mismatch labeled kit of RAM or something.
Having some bent or damaged CPU socket pins is also a possible, although this usually is indicated by failure to POST or boot, and DIMM slots 1 and 2, or 3 and 4 will not function at all.
About that second slot.
Inserted RAM CPUZ detection
slot1 slot 3
slot2 slot 4
slot3 slot 1
slot4 slot 2
i was testing with only 1 stick. I intend to test RAM in slot 2 like you said but what are those off timmings :S. RAM (9-9-9-24) but in memtest (4.20 or 5.0 Beta) are set to 6-6-6-20 and i cannot change it even with XMP profile or manual settings :S but in cpu-z show the correct timmings.

Z77 mpower BOSD when using XMP Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2X1600C8B

Dear everyone.
Just like you I have joint MSI community by buying an Z77 Mpower . The Board has great quality and look, i Happy with it until i have some BSOD recently .
Here my rig:
CPU: I7-3770K.
Main: MSI Z77 Mpower (Bios H30 on MSI Website)
SSD: OCZ Vertex 4 128 GB (OS)
HDD: 2 SG500GB Raid 0, 2 TG WD Green
VGA: Asus GTX 560Ti Top DCII
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro 700w
Ram: Vengeance — 2x4GB (CMZ8GX3M2X1600C8B) (at slot 2 and 4)
When i install OS and other apps there have no problem but when i using XMP profile to have my ram work at 1600MHz and set Dram voltage to 1.502, i had BOSD every 20m . What the problems here? Can anyone help me how to set these ram at 1600.
When i check with memtest86+ every thing fine with dual ram, i run it for 10 pass without errors. Then i check 1 stick at slot 2 it's show CAS 6-6-6-20 even i have set XMP profile at bios, is it OK? But then it still had 10 pass without errors.
I check again with slot 4, 1, 3 every thing show 9-9-9-24 when at memtest.
I have try everything but it seem only work with default setup (1333MHz). I wonder if this Ram, Main or PSU error.
Sorry for my english.

Let me know if my solution worked.
Sorry i mistake in memory it must be CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 code however i have set bios at spec 9-9-9-24 BUT IT keep on BSOD ...
I'm tired now , what is the correct setup to have 1600Mhz. I test both stick by memtest86+ all pass without any error.

MSI z77 mpower boot loop-cold start

Just got this PC put together a few days ago and I havent had luck keeping it at 4.5ghz @ 1.360v.
System Specs:
i5 2500k
z77 mpower @ latest bios version
16gb Corsair Vengeance 1866mhz
msi GTX 670 power edition oc
750w Corsair psu
256gb samsung SSD
Corsair H80
I can get it overclocked to 4.5ghz @ 1.360v and while running prime95 for 24hrs it was 100% stable, temps never went over 70C. I have set the I/O voltage to 1.2500v, the System Agent voltage to 1.105, the RAM memory voltage to 1.60v. XMP enabled @ 1866 9-10-9-27.
The problem is that it runs fine until I shut it down for 15 minutes then try to boot it back up, it boot loops 5-6 times then resets everything in the BIOS. The motherboard shows a code 60 as soon as it powers up, then it shuts down again, then powers back up then it gets stuck on A2, then again shuts down and starts back up and shows 60 again, and then A2 again, does this 5-6 times until it decides to reset everything and it allows me into BIOS again. It's driving me INSANE. Does anyone know what the heck is going on? I want to be able to shut it down when I go to sleep and be able to turn it back on without overclocking it again in the morning, ya know?
It works perfectly fine when I restart the computer, only happens when it sits turned off for more than 5 minutes.
Appreciate the help in advance.

We have similar boards and I cannot view your screen shots: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
Try an overclock based off mine and see if it is better.
If you want to do an muliplier change oc, post better screen shots so I can see what you have set.
**PS: Don't mimic my ram settings, just enable xmp. Also, you won't be able to get this stable at 1866 w/ 4 sticks unless you are lucky. Esp with a Sandy cpu.
Do your testing with just 2 sticks in dual channel, then put the 4 in and if you are lucky you may be able to set it to 1600 9-9-924 / 2t.

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.

Now i love this board. Probably the best motherboard of 2012 hands down. Now my only gripe is im getting poor performance with unigine heaven. I have not tried other benchmarks besides geekbench and thats cpu related. Now my previous mobo was the p67 fatality performance, which was an ok mobo, i had some issues hense the new Mpower. I was gettting 1500-1600 points on heaven with everything maxed out @1920x1080p on the asrock fatality board. I have an effective stable cpu overclock of 4.4ghz and im not going further, i dont need to, my current gpu specs are above. with the msi moard im getting 1100 and thats putting lightly, one time i got 900. Now what do you suppose my issue is? I seen an option in bios settings>PCI subsystem settings> PCI BUS clocks are at 32, Is that the preferred clock for that, or is any of the other options like 248 bus clocks? Im not familiar with this bios setting as i didnt have this in my last board? I need input on this issue.

I usually set mine at 64, but unless you have other add-in cards, I don't think that setting makes much difference.

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!!!

Also for best oc result flash to the lastest release or beta bios listed here.
>>Beta BIOSes<<
Follow the directons to make sure the manaement engine extension of bios is flashed as well.
Follow this link to some screen shots of other z77's using various overcocks:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
Have the latest BIOS and latest management extension flashed as well.
I have had this work before with no problems. I was one of the first people to get a MSI Z77 Mpower board. Never had this type of problem with any other BIOS. Problem started with 17.6 BIOS. I have had all the BIOS flashed on my RIG since I have had it.
Not sure what the problem is. Thanks for you help. Those over clocking charts are helpful but not specific to MSI Z77 Mpower mother board and the BIOS is different. Not sure if they are updated to include the new CPU features of "Hardware Prefetcher" item and "Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch" that BIOS 17.6 started to use.

Z77 MPOWER - Debug code A2

I've been using this motherboard for a solid month until last Saturday when I shut down my pc and I walk away being done for the day.
To my surprise the motherboard boots itself as I'm walking away and it's refusing to go post bios and keeps giving different error codes depending on what I pull out. Having switched all parts and taken everything out the only debug code that remains is A2.
Specs
Z77 MPOWER
3570 @ stock with h80 cooler
2 x 8 gig ram 1600
2x 7950 @ stock
2 ssd's, 1 hdd and 1 DVD drive.
Corsair ax 750.
What I've done.
Pull out memory cards 1 by 1.
Pull out the Graphic Card, tried different as well.
Pull out all SATA cables and connectors.
Pull out everything hooked to the backplate.
Reset CMOS (Will boot, when prompting to go into bios to change settings it will shut down and go back to A2)
Switch to DUAL BIOS (Will boot, when prompting to go into bios to change settings it will shut down and go back to A2)
I've RMA'd the motherboard but the shop said a pin was bend and refused to fix the motherboard. Having received the motherboard back and inspected the socket I did indeed notice a slightly bend pin.
However this pin is so slightly bend that it's not touching any of the other pins and it took me a "whole" 2 minutes to bend it back in line with the rest. Whatever this was caused by me or them I'm unsure, hell the pin is so slightly bend that I doubt it would interrupt with normal operating procedures.
The motherboard however is still not functioning and stuck on the A2 error code. The CPU debug leds show all lights as a "go"
I wonder if it's even possible for the pin to become damaged while in usage for over a month and cause it to be stuck at A2 debug code? Having looked up the code it seems related to SATA,IDE and the likes which where not plugged in.
I was forced to buy the same motherboard from another store to actually use my pc again, the CPU itself is working fine so it's definitely the motherboard. Love the mobo, just not the store support
Needless to say, having spend 360 (180x2) euro on this board and receiving virtually no support from the shop, I'm not amused.
Any support or advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,

ok have you asked to return the original board to the shop for RMA or a refund?
also did you have MSI live update installed when it all went bad?
I have returned the original board to the shop for RMA. They refused to accept it claiming MSI would not accept the board due to the slightly bend pin.
I did not have MSI live update installed at that time as I reformatted my pc recently so bare essentials were installed. I however do have it installed right now and used it update my new mobo to the latest bios firmware.

Yes, what you are doing is loading the working bios, then flipping the switch so that you flash the broken one. It is not something you normally want to do, but it is how to recover the Bios A. You just must make sure that you do not touch the switch until the bios is finished loading and the flash tool selection screen is up.

Z77 mpower led error code 64 after long POST

Hey guys. I am new to this forum, But I have been having a frustrating issue with my new mpower board.
everything seems to be working fine... runs fine recognizes all of my hardware. plays games and the whole works. however there is one problem. the board takes forever to POST. it will stick on b4 on my screen and on the debug led with a 64, I looked in my manual and found that error code 64 means late CPU initialization. what does this mean I tested my ram by testing each stick in different dim slots and it makes no difference I tried putting my hdd's in different SATA ports and nothing changes. I am running the latest bios I checked. is this an issue I should be worrying about or being everything is running fine not to fuss about it? I just want to make sure everything is running like it should any help is much appreciated being my pc knowledge is limited.

the B4 is a USB hotplug issue. remove the front pannel USB 2.0 header connectors and see if that stops. if not remove 1 USB device at a time!
the 64 may be related to the USB hotplug issue and its stoping the CPU to hold the post till it leaves the USB and skips it.

Did you use the tool AND the files here: >> BIOSes<<
What ME driver did you install? Might want to uninstall the ME driver from windows and reinstall the ME 8x version from intel downloads. I have had weird issues ever since installing ME 9xxx on these ME 8xx boards. (Since MSI posted the ME 9xx drivers on their webpage seemed logical to use them.)
always have used the forums usb tool. dont think its my flashes, but the intel driver? agree? i had 9.5 in. will try lastest 8? from intel. no mod? 1.5? 5.0? or just normal 8 latest?, trying normal 8 latest.
trying 10/14/2013
8.1.40.1416
(8)
just tried. still saying please replace me. i think i have try all 8/9 mes and nothing i think its control center problems not detecting newer bios's new changes. I have 2 z77 mpowers, one on hc0(latest official)
this z77 mpower is the latest beta hdb1, both same me firmwares even in the beta still same, but CC NEVER worked on the 8.1.50 fw(bios) i remember working on 8.1.40 fw(bios)
