Z77A-G45 Gaming ethernet adapter went out?

My brother has this board and one day when he went to turn his pc on it booted to windows and he had no internet. We've tried everything from a full reformat to buying a network adapter but nothing works.
We tried installing a TP-Link model TG-3468 network adapter but the pc wont even recognize it. When we pull up device manager there isn't even a network adapter section. Should I ask for a replacement?

Take the bopard out of case and try it with basic components on a non-conductive surface.

Need some help with MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming Motherboard

Hey guys I want to buy the z77a-g45 gaming Motherboard.
but i dont now if i could use my RAM that i own now. could you help me out.
My ram is: Corsair Vengeance CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 4x4GB

None the less that Corsair kit should work although a 4x4GB kit is not optimal for a dual channel system (as 2x4 or 2x8GB would be ideal). That matched 1.5V kit should none the less work.

Help with OCing my MSI Z77a-G45 gaming with i7 2600k

Hi there its been awhile since ive done OC since my old intel e8400 and everything looks different now..i just recently bought a brand new Msi Z77a-G45 gaming MB and i7 2600k for good deal and would like to push my limits on this setup
Currently setup:
intel i7-2600k
8gb ddr3-1600 gskill ripjaw X Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
MSI Z77a-G45 gaming motherboard
Antec Hcg-750 PSU
Evga gtx670 single card
my old rig Corsair H50 for now waiting on my custom built water cooling
i know i tried using the OC genie to test out their OC setting which gave me 4.2ghz with 1.336vcore and friend told me thats kind of high for a 4.2ghz?
any help will be good step by step. my goal for now is to reach like 4.4-4.5ghz until i get a better cooling system

Alrighty, appreciate the info; gonna back down to 4.4Ghz as I can maintain stability with 1.275 vcore in bios = 1.26 in windows = 1.24 under load resulting in hottest core never exceeding 70...was really hoping for 4.7-5.0Ghz overclock when most everyone who reviewed this chip in the early days was claiming such great overclocks with such low voltage. But I'll chalk that up to either misinformation or non stability checked overclocks, I guess I'm old school; cause if it can't hold up to a minimum 24hr pass of Prime 95 small fft's it isn't stable in my book. Might consider delidding it in a year or so once the new wears off, I had my i7 920 for about that long before I lapped it into a mirror shine lol. So based on my new information 3770k's on average overclock between 4.4-4.6Ghz and can require up to 1.4 vcore and higher past 4.6Ghz which is where you start to really become thermally limited on liquid as the Ivy Bridge's 22nm technology puts the cores to closely together in combination with intel's cheap ass thermal compound solution. Maximum recommended voltage for 24/7 shouldn't exceed 1.4 vcore without some kick ass cooling or a combination of delidded processor and kick ass cooling cause ideally you want your cores mid 70's and below...that about sum it all up?

My new MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming question

Hello MSI forums ,
I'm building a gaming system for my son. The MB i picked was the MSI Z77A-G45 Gaming and it just arrived from newegg. Just a quick question.
The MB arrived w/ out shrink wrap and the MB itself seems to be slightly warped or curved. Is this normal? I purchased a MSI Z77A-GD65 a few months ago for myself and I can't remember if it had shrink-wrap on it or not but I'm sure I didn't see any warping on the GD65.
Anyway, over the last two months I've build two complete systems all from newegg and i haven't had one issue, so good luck for me so far.
thanks!

Not even a security flap or tab seal on any of mine, so no shrink wrap I can recall. Slight curve should pose no problem once it is tightened down in the case.

Z77a-g45 gaming mobo wouldn't boot

Hello, I got my processor today and tried to test my mobo which is a z77a-g45 gaming one. I put my cpu in right, attached the cpu fan, plugged it in, had 1 G.skill 8g stick of ram in, had my gtx460 fermi hawk in with ample connectors and connected it to my monitor, yet the mobo didnt boot or beep, in fact the PSU, CPU or GPU fans didn't even spin. Is there a power switch on the mobo itself I have to hit to boot or generate power because I didn't see any? The psu I am using has 2 4 pin connectors on the same wire and they have a piece of plastic that connects them together, so I am assuming this is a modular 4 or 8pin connector.
I put my gpu and psu back in my old pc and they work fine. If there is a power button on the mobo can you illustrate where it is exactly? Thanks.
I am thinking thats what I didn't do was take a metal object and touch each pin to jump the mobo. Too arsed to take out my gpu and psu from the pc I am using now to try it out again.

Just short the front panel JFP1 start button pins. Should be covered which pins they are in the product manual.

Z77A-G45-GAMING Super-Charger dont work

Running Win7 64Bit
i cant' get Super-Charger to work , usb plug connected into JUSB1 , Z77A-G45-GAMING Super-Charger v 1.2.018 i got an Sony Xperia S , program when i click it just says , "Super-Charger already running." i have no GUI
got a Cooler master Haf X case
i tried all 3 usb plugs onto the mobo ,
JUSB1-2-3

JUSB1 has power at all times whether PC is on or off. 0.5A without Super Charger, 1.5A with Super Charger. Are you sure the cable you are using is good? Front panel USB plugged into JUSB1 header?
I just finished checking things out on mine and apparently the icon is hidden. Click on the "Show hidden icons" button.
Right click on the S C icon, left click on "Main Window" in the menu that pops up, then left click on the "On" button to "Enable fast-charging immediately" and see how it goes.

MSI z77a-G45 Gaming 3770k overclocking?

I just recently purchased the z77a-G45 Gaming mobo and a i7 3770k, most of my googling would leave me to believe that the 3770k can easily obtain 4.6Ghz with fairly low voltages like 1.16-1.20 vcore; here comes the question...in order for me to obtain some level of stability @ 4.6Ghz I must crank my vcore to 1.4150 with 100% cpu offset resulting in a 1.39 vcore in windows with a 1.38 vcore under load. I have all power saving technologies disabled, pll overvoltage enabled, cpu vdroop offset set to 100%; my question is am I missing something with MSI boards as this is the first one I've ever owned or did I just get a very power hungry 3770k?

Fan control problem on Z77A-G45 Gaming

Hi,
I've got this problem: I have Z77A-G45 gaming mobo and thermaltake water cooler (water 2.0 performer) on cpu and, by default this motherboard makes this cooler work with full 2000 rpm, but if I open the msi utility program "Control center" and go in "Green power" tab and use "CPU fan control" it makes cooler to run normally with 850 rpm. But problem is, when I turn off or restart PC, it starts again with 2000rpm and I need to open that "Control center" again and click check "Cpu fan control" to make cooler work normally. So what is solution to this problem? How to make it remember "cpu fan control" option marked? I don't want to start this application manually everytime I boot my computer.

Try entering bios and enable cpu smartfan and save on exit.

MSI Z77A-G45 GAMING SERIES ---RAM---

I am looking at buying and building a new computer, and when I looked on the MSI test results for RAM, I did not find the RAM I was after, so I am wondering if the RAM CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R (manufacturer's code) would work... i am also wondering if MSI themselves MAY be able to test this RAM as there does not seem to be much suggesting that it would not work.
Link to the RAM if the manufacturer's code doesn't work

MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming ethernet problem

Hi!
I bought Z77A-GD 65 Gaming motherboard few days ago.
Everything is working except the network adapter.
I cant install the drivers for it because it says that the device is not found.
I checked the windows device manager and its not showing it up either, so is it broken or what?

do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed and try again
else put mainboard out of PC case over wooden table and retry.
what's your current bios version installed?

Z77A-G45 Gaming won't OC

Before yesterday everything was working fine and my CPU was stable at 4.5 GHz. When I ran Intel Burn Test my CPU would downclock and I didn't understand why it would do this with temps below 64C. I searched for the reasons and followed the advice I found in these forums. Now, no matter what I do I can't get my clocks to stay locked. I even flashed the BIOS thinking it might have become corrupted but that did no good. I disabled every conceivable power-saving function and C-State and I can't get anywhere. Any advice? Before today I was quite happy with this motherboard. Having upgraded from a Z77 Extreme4 I had the same OC with lower voltage and lower temps. Today I'm not so happy. Should I request an RMA?

Quote from: jerrywall on 29-September-13, 05:52:32
Just a little follow up Qs: Prior to having the down clocking issue, did you change the BIOS setting that caused the down clocking? If not, have you found out why the issue hit you at that specific time and not earlier?
I didn't notice it until I ran IBT. All of my other benchmarks ran fine but they are mostly for graphics and PhysX. I had bigger problems with CPU locked at 3.4 after disabling OSP. All seems back to par so I'm not worried about it and not changing anything in the near future. All games are running smoothly at 4.5 GHz at lower temps and lower Vcore than with my Gigabyte P67 or ASRock Extreme4. There doesn't seem to be any downclocking when gaming but I don't monitor it either because games won't load the CPU as much as IBT. Thanks for asking.

Z87 g45 gaming network adapter problem

Hi,
I'm having issues with the board since this morning: can't connect to internet anymore, windows 7 tells me theres no drivers for the network adapter.
Can't find the network adapter in the devices list (checked the hidden device thingy).
huge thunderstorms yesterday so I suspect the thing just fried but everything else looks just fine.
So now I don't really know what to do, order a new network adapter?
Thanks for any help,

which network card? onboard or?
remove power cord from the PSU, then do >>Clear CMOS Guide<<

MOVED: Z77a-G45 gaming

This topic has been moved to Overclocking, Undervolting.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=180794.0

First update!
I took everything out but one graphics card, played around with some memory configurations. Interesting results.
The manual lists the slots like this.
1234
Channel 1 is 34 and Channel 2 is 12.
Slots 3 and 4 work fine now! Even with two Sticks in!
If I put anything into 1 or 2 (alone or in any other combination) then I get boot looping.
I left the RAM in slots 3 and 4 and then plugged everything back in. I am now fully up and running (although I suppose I still need to run memtest).
I'll see if I can get another power supply, just in case, although it seems that something's wrong with my motherboard's second RAM channel, or how the CPU's reading from it.

Z77a-G45 gaming

Hello I finished my pc build back in Feb and haven't been able to OC it. It will let me click the oc genie ii, but it has crashed my computer multiple times at 4.2ghz so I decided to fiddle with the Oc genie settings(which I shouldn't have). Anyways when I tried to manually Oc it will save but upon reboot the OC will never save and it reverts back to 3.4ghz. The cpu is a 3570k and a 212 hyper evo cpu cooler, in a thor v2 case. When I try to turbo boost the temperatures reach high 80s with adia64. I reapplied the thermal paste and sure I did it correctly.
I know I have a pretty bad chip and the most I've been able to Oc was to 4.4ghz but that was changing the values through Oc genie ii.

This is a manually oc through OC genie 2(I know you aren't suppose to do it) to 4.4ghz.
IDLE-
Under load At 1.29 cpu core voltage.

Brand-new Z77A G45 not booting

Hello all. Just started putting a new build together the other day, using the Z77A G45. When I went to boot it up for the first time, it gave me the "Military Class III" splash screen, with the prompts to switch to POST, start BIOS setup, etc. However, pressing any of the keys doesn't do anything, and it shuts down after about twenty seconds or so. The CPU phase leds all turn on for a few seconds after it's powered on, but after that only the first one remains lit.
I thought it might be because it wasn't recognizing my USB keyboard, but I had the same problem even when I used the PS/2 converter that came with the keyboard. I tried clearing the CMOS, and it gave me a screen showing that it recognized everything plugged into the board, and prompted me to hit F1 to continue setup, which worked, but from there all I got was a black screen with an "underscore" in the upper left hand corner. Rebooting with only one stick of RAM didn't change the problem, and I've tried all the USB ports, with similar results.
I'm thinking that the problem lies in the CPU being damaged during installation, but there don't seem to be any bent pins.
Here's the build:
CPU - Intel Core i3-3220 3.3GHz Dual-Core
Motherboard - MSI Z77A-G45 ATX LGA1155
Memory - Kingston Blu Red Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333
Storage - Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Video Card - MSI GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB
Case - NZXT Tempest 410 ATX Mid Tower
Power Supply - SeaSonic 520W ATX12V / EPS12V
Operating System - Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
Monitor - Asus VS238H-P 23.0"
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try it without any ram, you should get a beep. If not it seems to be RMA time.
This is not true depending on the board and bios version. Not all boards/ bios versions beep at all.
