Z77A-G43 (MS-7758) problem with Win x64 install

Hello,
Motherboard is Z77A-G43 (MS-7758) latest bios v2.7.
I would like to install Windows x64 on 3TB GPT disk.
In accordance with the product description "3TB+ Infinity is not only breaking through the limit of traditional BIOS, but also enhancing the utilization of hard drives efficiently. In addition to supporting the latest 3TB hard drives, MSI 3TB+ Infinity technology can use the 3TB hard drive as boot disk when installing a 64-bit operating system. Compared to competitors, MSI 3TB+ Infinity is an industry-leading technology which substantially presents an advantage of development and application in the future."
HDD is ST3000VX000-9YW166 connected as SATA AHCI. The device is recognized by the bios.
To make sure that I use EFI, I boot with EFI shell and run BOOTx64.EFI from Windows install disk. I select the ST disk. It has one system partition of size about 128mg, the rest of the disk is unallocated. When I attempt to install Windows on the ST disk, I get the message "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. This computer's hardware may not support booting to this disk. Ensure the disk's controller is enabled in the computer's BIOS menu."
What should I do to make Windows install on this disk?
Thanks.

Did you turn Infinity on?
I believe Infinity is always on. At least I don't see such an option in bios.

Z77A-G43 MS-7758 not able to WoL

So i have been trying all day to get my Z77A-G43 MS-7758 motherboard to Wake on LAN. I have followed every single step there is to follow and i even get the Magic Packet fine when using the WakeOnLan monitor.
However here is where the problems start to occur. As soon as i turn off my computer it does not work. These are the settings in the BIOS:
Wake on LAN is set to: BIOS
Wake by PCI and PCI-Express: Enabled
Wake by USB: Enabled
EuP 2013: Disabled
I have tried fiddling around with the network card settings in windows as well. But i am actually not really sure if these settings can actually affect the Network card when the computer is not in windows. Also when i try to disable of the setting called: Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power in the network card properties, it just enables itself as soon as i click OK.
EDIT: Also the green light on the lan port turns off, not sure if it's supposed to with WoL enabled.
Is there any help to get here? Any suggestions as to what i may try or am i forever doomed?
Sincerely Synit

see https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/wake-on-lan
Thanks for the quick response, i did follow that guide and found out that the option: Only allow a magic packet to wake the computer needed to be disabled. And that fixed it temporarily.
However i have ran into a new problem. Each time i start the computer that setting resets back to default and i cannot get it to stay off for some reason. Do you have a solution for this as well?
Thanks again sincerely Synit

Acrobat Problem with Vista X64 OLE calls

Acrobat Problem with Vista X64 OLE calls - CreateObject("AcroExch.AVDoc") does NOT open its window in the CreateObject("AcroExch.App") - but opens a new (invisible) window. Works correctly in XP x64 and 32 bit Vista - happens with Acrobat v8 and v9.

T61 - problem with Vista x64 NVS 140M drivers

Hi!
I have problems with Vista x64 and NVS 140M drivers. Thing is that if I install them, everything will be slideshow, even the audio shutters quite bad and CPU is constantly over 45%. I have tried different driver versions but nothing has helped yet. Any ideas?
I wonder if anyone has the old 7.15.11.0129 driver and could send it to me? Maybe that would help.

Try the following test:
- Go to Vista Sound Control Panel to view the S/PDIF out properties.
- Click on the Supported Format tab page, select Dolby Digital and click Test.
Is the test OK?

Z77A-G43 OC 4.3 with power saving work, thanks xmad

Z77A-G43 OC 4.3 with power saving work , Thanks xmad
Goes up @ 4.3GHz on full load, then come down to 1.6GHz idle( perfect) try with prime95 about a hour, temperature when up to 71c then between 58-65c
Set all to auto, then enter the cpu features.
Set the power levels short / long to 255 and the power duration to 2 seconds.
Then increase the turbo speed there to w/er you wish 4.2-4.5 are typical everyday overclock settings.
( OK mine if i'm not mistaking it's 1-core ratio limit [43] ,
2-core ratio limit [43] , 3-core ratio limit [43] 4-core ratio limit [43]
Pic attached
Other settings needed.
Vdroop: 75-100% ( NOT available on mine)
Pll : enabled
Overspeed protection: Disabled
Enhanced Turbo: Enabled
Ok now i'm experimenting a little bit, i try 44 for ratio but crash after prime 95 working
Should i adjust vcore small step at a time?
or other setting? thanks

Ow hi guys
I just found this while I've been searching and reading up on overclocking and I was wondering if you guys can just help me out? I will continue to read up and learn more, but is it possible to kind of give me a step by step of what to do with this exact board & Bios?
I also have the Z77A-G43 OC & i7-3770k and from the looks of the reading I want to get to 4.4ghz
I've read the posts and see the pics, but where should I start & what exactly should I all change before starting up windows & running prime etc
Any help would be appreciated aimed at a beginner like me would help Overclocking is just something I'm really learning about now.
TY
Mine is running At 4.3GHz with auto vcore, with Antec water cooler 920 no issue so far..
On reboot, click delete to enter bios then do same setting has me but with Vcore auto, save and reboot, in window under click center , check your clock speed under load, it will give your i7-3770k stable clock zone..
Look in here, the last one https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=162043.0
If you don't mind to try overclock genie first in the bios, I sure would like to know if it does anything for you, cause mine it's only capable to OC Genie the GPU only, . I wrote to company about it but no reply yet..
But it might be a cheap board but you can still overclock it anyway..

I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook.

I am having a problem with Windows Fusion installed on a MacBook OS 10. When attempting to use a Browser, (either IE, or Chrome), under Windows Fusion, I cannot browse to ANY page except Gmail.com.
I checked all security settings, and found no problem. Neither browser will allow me to do ANYTHING other than go to Gmail.com!!!
I am not sure if I have some virus on my Windows side, because Google and Safari both work perfectly on my Apple side, just not when running Windows Fusion.
Is there some setting I am missing, or do you think I have malware/virus issues?? My Internet connection is DEFINITELY working fine - I can send, receive, open, and close all my email on Gmail only, and can navigate freely on Gmail, but cannot get to any other site even hyperlinked to Gmail.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much.

If you've already tried my previous suggestions, it may be that something has tampered with the DNS settings in your Windows VM, which might bypass the settings your Mac uses. Assuming you're using Windows 8, these instructions explain how to check and change the DNS settings. There's also a link in those instructions listing a variety of suggested DNS settings. If you do try changing the settings, record what the settings currently are in case you want to return to them.

Problem with Win 7 x64, WWAN or WiFi card and Windows XP Mode

I have a T500 with switchable graphics (2056-4RU) with a clean install of Windows 7 Pro x64 with the AT&T WWAN card.
With all the Win7 RTM drivers and Access Connections for Win7, I had a problem that the WWAN card (Ericson F3507g, purchased from Lenovo and working flawlessly under Vista 32-bit) would not initialize. Support told me to uninstall the Win 7 versions of the Power Manager Drivers, WWAN card driver and Access Connections and replace them with the Vista counterparts, which restored the functionality of my WWAN card. Based on the speed with which the support tech came up with the suggested fix, I suspect I am not the only one with the disappearing WWAN card problem.
Now I have found that starting the Windows XP Mode virtual machine kills the WiFi functionality (Intel WiFi Link 5100 AGN) until I disable and re-enable the WiFi adapter in Device Manager and then restart the system. (I have not problems with XP Mode and with the Win7 drivers / Access Connections opening Windows XP Mode did not cause the problem with the WiFi.) Opening Windows XP Mode causes no problem with the wired network adapter on my system).
Thus it appears that I can have functionality of the WWAN and WiFi adapters with XP Mode using the Released Win 7 versions and functionality of Windows XP Mode together OR I can have WWAN but not WiFi functionality with XP Mode using the Vista drivers that support suggested. However, it seems that I cannot have WWAN, WiFi and XP Mode concurrently.
I reproduced the above XP mode / WWAN problem / WiFi problems on a T500 with Win7 x64 owned by another family member.
Does anyone (particularly anyone from Lenovo) have fix for this?
Thanks.

for the sim card, try this:
http://jack.ukleja.com/update-ericsson-f3507g-mobile-broadband-on-windows-7-with-lenovo-thinkpad/com...
I have another operator and I finally gave up. apparently it's also no that easy to install the SIM card, if the plastic thing that helps to remove the SIM card is not the right position, it will overlap the SIM Card chip.
can't help for the WIFI. I had the problems too with access connection and decided to remove it. I use Seven's network manager, which does an equally good job.
Since I have the switch to turn off the wireless, I don't really need access connection anyway.
Finally, something that I learns while struggling with the bluetooth driver: the order in which power manager, access connection and the different drivers are installed DOES affect their effectiveness. I forgot the details but I remember 2 things:
always read the TXT file that is available on the driver page on the lenovo web site and install power manager and access connection last.
Good luck

Stability problems with Win7 x64 and Boot Camp 3.1...

Before I was running win 7 with Boot Camp 3.0 and On top of that I installed my Chipset and Graphics from Nvidias Website. System was running without any major problems.
Now I have win7 and BootCamp 3.1 and the laptop runs like crap... System freezes sometimes only for a minute most of the time I need to hold power button.
The last time I has ScanDisk start on me and start checking. it found about 200 missing files some unindexed and MFT bitmap was repaired...
Do not know why, I'm unable to figure out what was causing that.
Currently I have win7 x86 with bootcamp 3.1 installed and The system works good.
I think there is an issue with the 3.1 x64 driver package.
If anyone has any Ideas on what I can do to figure out why the system runs so unpredictable with 3.1 x64 drivers installed. I'm whiling to experiment and reinstall win7 x64 as many times as needed so i can send an error report to apple to get this issue fixed.

Wow, i've been running windows 7 64 bit in boot camp since I got my copy as a beta tester in July and never had any issues like you're describing. Boot camp 3.0 worked fine (other than the light in the audio port and minimal touchpad control, and the still present inability to dim the screen dynamically based on brightness around me). And I've had no problems with boot camp 3.1 so far. In the previous BC versions, I went to the nvidia site and downloaded whatever the current driver was for the video, but nothing specific for the chipset. With 3.1 I haven't done even that, just using what the boot camp update installed. Have you tried it with just the BC 3.1 drivers, not getting anything extra from Nvidia or anyone, just to see what happens from that point first?
About the only time I had any issues with diskchecking is when I accidentally close fusion and it abends my windows session. I make a point then of booting and telling it to ignore the disk check, editing the registry to reset the flag so it doesn't do it, then just run a disk check from within windows telling it NOT to fix anything, so that it can verify it's clean. I found the normal disk check in the preboot environment is horrendous on the MBP, takes me literally hours to run through despite it never finding anything to fix.

Z77a-G43 dual channeling problem

Hello, I know some other people also had similar issues, but I couldn't find a solution.
I was trying to see if the components were working before installing everything in the case, and I have a problem with my mobo Z77a-G43.
If I plug my two piece ram(G.Skill Ripjaws 2x4gb DDR3 2133) into slots 1-3 or 2-4, the mobo does not POST and enters to an infinite reboot process.
However if I plug just one ram into slot 2, everything works great. I checked each piece of my ram, and they work alone in slot 2. So I guess the ram is fine. Also if I plug just one ram to slot 4, it doesn't work. I hope this problem can be solved with some tweaking of bios.
I also checked the pins under my cpu and they look fine.
Thank you for your help.

There have been allot of "memory compatibility improvements" in the bios releases. If your computer is perfectly stable with a single stick.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Flash to the attached bios using option 1 and point at the entire compressed archive then to your flash drive.
Make sure this is your board:http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G43.html#/?div=BIOS
The attached archive will flash your bios to version 2.7 and the ME8.1 1318 firmware extension.
I would suggest running memtest first (included with the tool) if any errors or stability issues, do not flash and proceed to try other memory.

my graphics card is Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller, and maybe should install a module for it works with wine.
The window where you start all options configuration appears to me, but when I go to Play THPS4! showed me the error. The version of my wine is wine-1.1.8. I don't know if I have to install any shape or form over any other option in winecfg.
thanks

Can you try it on a desktop comp using arch and wine instead? Maybe it's a graphics problem? Anyway, I've checked the min req. and it's quite low..
Please check this site if your game is supported or if ever you want to play another game in the future.

Problem with Wine, NVidia and fullscreen games

Hi,
I'm writing about a problem i recently noticed with wine, nvidia gpu and fullscreen 2d games.Basically the problem is as follows - i am running arch with the latest kernel and nvidia drivers on Thinkpad T61 with NVidia Quadro NVS 140M. I have a problem with old 2d games like Red Alert 2, Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Diablo 2, Heroes 3. All of these games do not support the native 1440x900 resolution of my screen and all of them work fine in window mode but crash if fullscreen is selected. I managed to get some of them working by making them work at higher resolutions. For example although Red Alert 2 does not support 1440x900, it can be easily made to work at that resolution and after i applied the necessary settings it worked. The same was with Heroes 3 - by default it does not support 1440x900 and it used to work only i window mode but there is a HD mod which allows it to run in higher resolutions and after i applied it it worked perfectly in fullscreen. I haven't thested Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale but i think it will work there too.
The problem is that i cannot use this approach to all games - for example i must run Diablo 2 and Starcraft in their original resolutions. I read somewhere that the problem is that wine can only change between the resolutions described in the xorg.conf file and if doesn't find the necessary resolution the game will crash or will only take the portion of the screen that is its resolution - for example when i play Starcraft rather than stretching it to the whole screen it simply takes 640x480 pixels of my screen and the game is displayed in the top left corner of the screen leaving everything else black.
I didn't have this problem before - it is something new though i'm not sure since when do i have the problem because i rarely play games. As for the idea that the problem may be related to the resolutions defined in the Xorg.conf file, my xorg.conf is automatically generated by the nvidia installer and there are no resolutions defined there.

I remember that issue, with the 302 series.
I have Nvidia 304.48 installed and the problem still exists (it also happens with Catalyst). This didn't occur with 295.59 using the same version of Wine.

Adobe Elements 9, sharing photo mail problem with Win. 7, Live Mail.

Last Oct. 2011 I bought a new HP laptop with Win. 7 I and PS Elements 9 and Permiere 9. I am familar to XP and PS Elements 6. I play with photos alot and shortly found that I could not send/share photos using Photo Mail and Win. Live Mail. I contacted Adobe and was told that it was HP's problem. I contacted HP, They worked very hard on trying to find the solution. I was in contact with 3-4 techs. accessing my lap top for 4-6 hours trying many things. Finally I was told that I needed Outlook to use Photo Mail and that if I bought Micro. Office it would have Outlook. I think it was around $200.00. I already had Office Home and Student and told the tech. that I had already paid $$$ for the laptop and programs and the unit should work. The tech. tried to down load a pervious ver. of Outlook, but it didn't work. I was told that sometimes when purchasing a custom pc thing do not work properly. The last Tech.told me it was Adobe's problem. I didn't know what to do-----I finally called Adobe back. I explained the problem---this Tech. said "no problem" and had it fixed in no time at all! It had something to do with a number as I recall. Access # ? I don't recall.
Last week I got some type of a virus and had to restore back to factory settings. Now I am in the same problem and cannot fix the problem. I called both Abobe and HP. They both told me to purchase help one at $50.00 the $39.00 and it would be fixed. The other option is to purchase Elements 10 around $100.00. and the problem will be fixed.
AM I FRUSTERATED----YES!
Mel

I would not normally recommend going back to earlier software but if you are re-building it may be worth installing the original version of MS Live Mail. But PSE does not work with Live Essentials 2011.
