Z77A-G45 only integrated graphics boot

Hey all, just upgraded mobo and cpu and so far its only working on the on-board graphics, when i have the monitor connected to a card it wont start boot at all, it comes on, lights and fans whirring but it wont enter the boot screen just stays blank with light on standby, have tried with 2 different cards besides my main and in different pci slots, nada, same thing.
I did have one other problem now fixed but i dont know if relevent to this, when i first turned the newly built comp on and had the above problem i tried the onboard graphics method, it booted but then crashed at windows startup with the x07b error, which after some checking is a hard disk error, i set the sata mode to IDE and it worked, can now go into windows as normal but still only on the onboard graphics.
Any help/advice is appreciated, thanks.
Motherboard: Z77A-G45
CPU: i5-3570k
RAM: Crucial Ballistix BLS2CP4G3D
Graphics card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 Windforce 3X 2048MB (tried a 8800 GTX & something else)

If you are migrating a HDD from another machine with a previous OS on it, it is not going to work correctly. It needs to be a fresh install. Z77's default to AHCI mode.
thanks for identifying the problem to that little curio, a OS reinstall hmm was trying to avoid that but now I know what the prob is and can tackle it once things are settled.
To get the discrete card to work, change the graphics setting from IGD to PEG, Save and Exit and then hard shut down. Install the discrete card connecting it's PCI-E power, connect the monitor to the discrete card, start the system and see if it now shows graphics.
tried this and alas it hasn't worked, I turn on and go into bios, under advanced section the integrated graphics configuration subsection and the initiate graphic adapter line, I change it from IGD to PEG, click save and exit, while its rebooting I yank out power cable (you said hard shut down), clear power (wait a min and press power button down), install graphics card and connect monitor, reconnect power cable power on and...the same thing.
It was originally actually on PEG so I changed it, saved and let it go into windows to do clean shut down to try your method, did the same thing when it failed first time, have tried a few times now, even tried the method but with changing from PEG to IGD, just in-case of the outside chance the order was a typo on your part.

  • T400 - only integrated graphics?

    There seems to be only integrated graphics for the T400 (Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD with vPro)... Can a dedicated graphics card be added to it?

    Do you mean the T400 literally, or some other machine?  Do you already have the T400, or are you shopping?
    My T400 has both integrated and discrete graphics - "switchable".

  • MSI Z77A G45 not detecting Sapphire HD 7950 , only integrated graphic works

    First of all - sorry for my poor english,
    I've build my setup today.
    MSI Z77A G45
    i5 3570k with Macho Hr 02
    Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X
    2x4 GB Corsair Low Profile 1600
    XFX Core 550W
    The problem is MOBO is not dectecting my HD7950 Sapphire when connect to HD7950 HDMI out (using SONY Bravia as display) It works only with integrated graphic on MOBO hdmi out. I've installed Win7 64-bit. System boots fine but only on i5 graphic.
    I'm using nearest CPU PCIe port. Unfortunately can't try plug HD7950 in with other PCIe port, Radeon won't fit in case I own (Fractal Core 3000 usb 3.0)
    BIOS version 2.9
    Need your help

    Has the VGA been tested in another machine to verify it works? Do you have access to other VGA's you can test in the primary graphics PCI-E 16X33 slot? If nothing works, then it can be a troubleshooting extravaganza! First recommendation would be to test outside the case on a plain piece of cardboard or untreated wood surface, barebones configuration. Inspect the case for any errant standoffs that may be shorting/grounding the PCI-E slot. The primary graphics PCI-E slot not working can also be caused by a pin problem in the CPU socket. A bright light and magnifier will be needed for socket pin inspection.

  • Upgraded to the Z77A-G45, OS SSD Wont Boot!!!

    Hello guys,
         This is my first post on this forum so bear with me lol. I replaced my mobo from an Asus P67 Sabertooth to the MSI's Z77A-G45. I am trying to get my PC to boot into Windows with my Corsair SSD drive where my OS is installed (windows 7). The problem is that I am getting the message reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media . Keep in mind that I haven't made any changes to Bios settings, everything is factory default. I just want to get my Pc running WITHOUT HAVING TO FORMAT MY DRIVE     This is a brand new setup btw, I just upgraded to from Sandy Bridge to Ivy Bridge. I finished the build yesterday but now I am having this problem. I tried my OEM Windows 7 disk to repair my drive, etc and nothing has worked. Please help!

    you will need to reinstall windows from scratch as the base drivers that windows installed last time will be different then the ones needed tor your current setup! if you change boards always run a fresh install of your os unless its a board with the same chipset as your previos board! 
    Ok I already prepared myself for this  Regarding the OEM Windows, am I going to have to buy a new activation code or will it activate fine? I recall reactivating Windows Vista like 4 years ago when I changed and AMD mobo, although it wasnt an the OEM version.

  • Z77A-G45 - Spins Up Twice - Boots Up on Third Attempt

    When powering up from cold, my system spins up as if its going to boot, then shuts down after about 8 seconds.
    It does this twice.  On the third attempt it boots up into windows as normal.
    Its done this since I built the machine a few days ago.
    Is there a fix for this?  Is it a problem?

    Thanks.

    So far, I have tried clearing with the CMOS button.
    When restarting from Windows there is no problem, but when I cold boot it spins up twice, and boots on the 3rd try.
    If I can provide anymore info please ask.  Its a little frustrating.

  • MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Motherboard Integrated Graphics

    Hi i'm a newbie to computer parts and the computer world in general on what does what. I'm only 15 but i'm looking to upgrade my Mobo and CPU I have found a bundle (MSI Z77A-GD65 Intel 7 Series Z77 Motherboard and Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40 GHz Quad Core Unlocked Bundle) on tiger direct and it looks like a good deal. But before I buy it I WAS going to upgrade my GPU before I were to get a new Mobo and CPU. I've done some research on the MSI Z77A-GD65 and I saw it has integrated graphics, but I don't entirely know what that is. I was curious if that's a graphics card and if so what it compares to. I have a Nvidia GTX 9800 graphics card that's fairly old now and I was wondering if a Mobo with integrated graphics acted as a graphics card and if so what it would compare to. If you want to know anymore specs about my computer let me know and i'll be happy to give them out.

    It's not the mainboard to have integrated graphics, it's the cpu. The Core i5-3570K has Intel HD Graphics 4000 integrated. The mainboard only offers the output connectors to use it. All current generation Intel cpus have integrated graphics which can be used or not. The HD Graphics 4000 is not meant for gaming of course and would perform worse than your GTX9800 in a 3d game. With a supported mainboard (like the Z77A-GD65) the integrated graphics can be used along the discrete vga for Lucid MVP to better performance and gaming experience (see for more details: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=160519.0).

    I have bought a mobo Z77A-G45 and a graphic card Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 OC Version 2go which is compatible PCI-E 3 x16.
    But when I go in the catalyst center to view the information on the hardware it says PCI-E 2 16x.
    In the bios it's on AUTO.
    This is not normal ??

  • 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.

There are no beeps from the PC speaker whatsoever, nor do there seem to be any indicator lights as I've had on previous MSI motherboards. The manual is completely absent of any troubleshooting section. So my main question is, is there any way to tell what stage the startup is failing on? Other threads on this forum (here and here) suggest that the problem is due to lack of processor support. As the motherboard was sold as Ivy Bridge ready, I'd like soe way of confirming this as most likely cause before paying for some fix.
    Hey I am actaully sharing the similar problem of yours....
    I am using MSI H77MA-G43 (BIOS v1.5), and a set of DDR3-1600 4GB RAM x 2.
    When i am using both 2 pcs of RAM, i am facing the same problem:
    "after 10 seconds or so the system powers down again, with the screen (whether on the external or internal graphics) never having been active. There are no beeps from the PC speaker whatsoever, nor do there seem to be any indicator lights as I've had on previous MSI motherboards. "
    When I use 1 pc of DDR3-1600 4GB RAM, it works again.
    I just wonder if there is some RAM compatibility problem with MSI motherboard...I have tried below 2 sets of RAM:
    AMD DDR3-1600 4GB x 2 (1.5V) (AE38G1609U2K-U)
    Kingston HYPER-X DDR3-1600 4GB x 2 (1.65V) (KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX)
    Cheers!

    Please don't hijack other's topics. >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
    Your components are not the same, starting with the RAM. >>Posting Guide<<
    Please supply your full system spec.
    Your RAM is 1,65V overvolted DDR3-1600.
    Only add one module as per the instructions. Then do a full CMOS clear with power cord removed. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    Afterwards go into the BIOS and set that memory to 1333, (ensure that XMP is disabled for now). Set the DRAM voltage to 1,5V. Retest and advise.

  • MSI Z77A G45 boot loop

    Hi everyone!
    I just tried to flash my MSI Z77A G45 today from the bios version 2.1 to 2.A.
    I had blackscreens all the time when i tried to flash it with the M-FLASH utility from my bios.
    Then everything just started normaly (after each blackscreen), but there wasn't any update, i tried to force the update with LiveUpdate.
    And now when i try to start the computer, i just get a blackscreen (no signal for the monitor) and a boot loop.
    It just stops and reboot after 10s.
    My hardware is working perfectly, i think this is from a corrupted bios issue.
    Which things i tried:
    - Doing a clear CMOS (nothing happens)
    - Removing the CMOS battery for 10 minutes (the reboot loop stopped, but there was not any display, i restarted the PC then and the reboot loop started again)
    - Cleaning my PC (from dust and things like that), it was not efficient at all
    - Booting from a USB key with the bios in, and formated as FAT32, nothing happens too. It doesn't recognize the USB key and anything else (keypad etc.) so the blackscreen was there again.
    My Hardware:
    CPU: Intel Core i5 3570 3.4 Ghz
    Motherboard: MSI Z77A G45
    GPU: None (Intel graphics 4000)
    RAM: 2x4Gb Corsair Vengeance
    HDD: Crucial M4 SSD 64Gb
    Power supply: Corsair 850W
    Do you think that i need to send my mother board back to the RMA?
    I hope you will be able to help me, or find a solution 
    Thanks in advance

    You can try the steps found here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119375.0
    Otherwise, it is RMA time.
    Next time use the forum flash tool and archives found on the forums.

  • Z77A-G45 reboot and select proper boot device

    Hey all,
    I've had this problem happen to me twice and have yet to figure out what causes it, so I was wondering if anyone knows for certain.
    I have a Z77A-G45 with Windows 8 Pro installed.  Twice I've had a problem with after rebooting, I get the message:
    "reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
    This happens with no USB storage nor CD/DVD in the system.   When I try to press Delete to get into BIOS after powercycling, I just get the above message repeatedly with each keypress.   The only customization that I've found in common when this happens, is that I have the Fast Boot options enabled -- so for now I'm just avoiding that.    (I'm actually am not sure if its making any real difference.)   To resolve the problem, I have to clear my CMOS settings via the motherboard.
    I don't see any signs of HDD failure - SMART is clean, no I/O errors in the System log, and performance seems fine.   So maybe it really is just Fast Boot??
    EDIT: Oh, my BIOS version is  V2.9 / 20130118
    thanks

    Recommend to try the latest UEFI/BIOS found here;

    Yes, the mainboard is Ivy ready, but the 'as shipped' UEFI/BIOS may not be the latest one that supports the CPU intended for installation. That has been a problem over several generations of platforms. In the past, there were green stickers with the BIOS version printed on the chips, but now, a lot of them are black chips with red dots on them, so no visual way to tell what BIOS is actually installed on the mainboard.
    Only speculation, but it is very possible the UEFI/BIOS version on the mainboard does not support the CPU you have.

  • MSI Z77a-G45 graphics driver issue.

    02-june-2013
    MSI Z77a-G45 graphics driver issue.
    Trying to install the graphics drivers for this board from the MSI site, I but every time I do so on loading windows 7 my monitor just goes to sleep and I have to roll back the driver in safe mode. This is the same for the driver found in the windows 7 updates.
    Iv downloaded the files a few times over and reinstalled windows twice and the problem remains. Can anyone suggest anything? Is there something I’m missing or need to set in the UEFI bios for using the onboard graphics? 
    MSI Z77A-G45, i5-3570K, 2x 8GB Corsair memory, Windows 7 64bit.
    Thanks.

    My BIOS is E7752IMS V2.10
    Iv already downloaded  V2.A
    However  I have to say the guide at uk.msi.com/service/biosupdate/ , appears to be putting v2.2 on top of v2.2.
    it also says "Download the BIOS that matches your motherboard and version number to your USB device."
    I'm not entirely sure what is meant by 'version number' but it dose suggest i need to download V2.10 not V2.A ... call me picky but i want to be sure! lol.
    Can anyone confirm ether way? It dose seam rather odd!
    Thanks.
    **edit
    Update on my graphics issue
    With the default driver, just before the windows 7 log in screen appears. I was getting a portion of it appear first on the bottom 1/8 of the screen. Now its appears to be a snowstorm of bad graphics and its the same when I switched to using HDMI instead.
    Not sure if that's a good sign!
    For reff my screen is a HP LP2475w tho I'm rather sure there is nawt wrong with the screen.
