  • MSI Z77A-G45 can't install window 7 by raid 0

    I have a rig which:
    CPU: Core i7 3770k
    HDD: Two Western Digital 1 TB 7200
    Main: MSI Z77A-G45
    Power supply: 700W
    Ram: 32GB DDR3 1333 MHz
    *** VGA card: MSI Geforce nVidia GTX 660 Ti 3GBDDR5 TF
    After configuring BIOS to setup RAID 0, I was trying to install Window 7 on my 1.8TB ( which was summed of two HDD )
    But I got a problem about couldn't install the O.S on.
    ***And about the VGA, whenever I plug it in my mobo, my monitor shows black screen as it doesn't recognize the VGA card. What happen if I install window then add the VGA card later? Will it affect on my system later?
    And what should I do to install RAID 0 with my stuff? I appreciate all supports.
    Thank for read and answer my topic!

    The 660ti will require a bios update to use most likely.
    Is the system stable enough to flash? The forum flash tool included memtest, run this an so long as no errors or crashes, go ahead a flash to the most recent bios.

  • MSI Z77A - G45 - CPU multiplier problem

    Hi,
    I recently bought this PC:
    Intel Core i5 3570 k
    MSI Z77A - G45 - with BIOS V 2.5
    Seasonic S12II-620 620W 
    Corsair Vengeance Low Profile White 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600
    Amd HD 7850
    My problem is following:
    If I change CPU Ratio (multiplier), in standart mode to 40x and leave CPU core voltage auto, it cause instability, even if use Cpu core voltage 1.25 V for ratio 40x.
    But that's not all problem. I could understand, why I cant OC my CPU, but this instability is even if I change multiplier to 30x from default 34x and this makes me uncertain.
    Now I will describe you that instability...
    OK so, when I change ratio to 40x or 30x it doesn't matter, it runs to windows successfully but after using windows something about 3-6 hours pc turns off.
    I also  discovered second problem by coincidence. If I hit F11 (Boot menu) , when I am starting pc and I have set ratio 40x or 30x, I can choose what I want to boot only for 10 secs and after that PC restarts by itself....
    But if I set default 34x ratio I can choose what I want to boot forever and pc doesnt restart.
    I know that boot menu is not some test of stability but it is very strange... Why If I change multiplier, it doesnt matter, if it is higher or lower then default settings it just cause instability ? :-/
    Thanks for help.

    Quote from: xmad on 19-August-12, 07:02:15
    I was just saying that the beta caused a vga problem, latest release the f11 problem so try the release prior to that, but if you got it working don't touch it! lol
    Are you still using the beta bios?
    No clue, we are just users like you are, just keep checking the website. You should report the troubles you had with 2.4 to msi too.>>How to contact MSI.<<
    Yeah iťs working now. As I said, I wanted flash older Bios 2.4, so for sure I click on restore defualts in bios (for sure before flashing) in that 2.64 Bios version...
    PC restarts and my graphic card started working =)...
    So now I am running on that the latest Bios as you refered mi (2.64 beta).
    I am running some test of stability on @ 4 GHz with 1.070 V (IBT,Prime,memmaxx,linx,cinebench,occt,super pi, 3d mark) temps are 62 C max...
    So I guess it's ok now =)
    At the end I have one question :
     My Cpu is now running on 40 x ratio all the time, there is no some underoverlocking ratio (16x etc.) when it's in idle. I was thinking the Ivy Bridge overclocking is overclocking of turbo only...
    I know It's detail, because I have good temps even in idle with 40x ration (33-39 C) but i want to be assured if it is ok.
    EDIT:
    And btw I didnť have 2.4 bios flash on, I wanted put them on... But before flashing my 2.64 beta started working right with HD 7850 as is wrote upper.
    I had Bios 2.5 before 2.64

    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?

  • Z77A-G45 - Static sounds on USB ports

    (pls move to correct forum, srry for the :censored:up)
    Hi all,
    Problem:
    I recently bought a Z77A-G45 for my new rig. However it has static\electrostatic noise on the USB ports. Meaning as soon as i plug in USB speakers or my Razor Carcharitas headset (USB powered) i hear static noise of the insides of my computer. Normal 3.5mm audio output is without static, even when amplified via external amplifier.
    These noises are loudest while browsing or other internet traffic, however they are always present and start right after POST.
    Troubleshooting tried:
    - Different BIOS settings regarding USB
    - Even the problem also exist outside the OS, i tried different combination of drivers (beta & officia) for NIC & Audio
    - Check and measured all grounding (and checked for ground-loop)
    - Removed all hardware except for MOBO+CPU+PSU+RAM and disconnected everything external including front-panel, to insure my perhipicals are not causing the problem
    - Did a 10pass memtest
    - Flashed the latest stable BIOS
    - Separated all cables inside the case and grouped all power & data so no interference is present
    - Tried my old Spire 650 Watt PSU
    My build setup:
    - Coolermaster  CM 690 II advanced
    - MSI Z77A-G45
    - Intel i5-3570k 3.4Ghz (Ivy) (CPUID: 0306A9
    - Scythe Mugen 3 PCGH-Edition
    - Corsair 8GB (2x4 dualchan in sock 2&4) 1600-999 Vengeance LP
    - Samsung 840 Basic 256GB
    - Seasonic G450 Powersupply (80+ gold cert)
    - Sapphire HD7950 (+boost)
    Details MSI Z77A-G45:
    - S/N: 601-7752-040B1209097231
    - BIOS: V2.9 / 20130118
    Kindly help me troubleshoot to decide if my product is defect and need RMA, or if this is fixable.
    EDIT: as i also had the boot problem i just updated to BIOS A02 2.10, however problem still persists as soon as computer is powered-up, i honestly do think this is hardware related ?

    That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region. If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

  • MSI Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt - UNBOXED!!!

     
    Intel’s Thunderbolt Technology is seen usually in high-end motherboard models. But today MSI just released a more budget friendly Z77 motherboard with this feature in it.
    The “Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt” boasts features like Military Class III Components for quality and stability, OC Genie II which automatically boost your computer performance in seconds, Click BIOS II for easier and friendlier to use UEFI BIOS, THX TruStudio PRO which delivers the best audio experience, supports Nvidia SLI and AMD Crossefire multi-graphic configurations and lastly Thunderbolt which delivers 10/GBps of data and display transfers – in each direction, at the same time – using a single cable to connect devices in a daisy chain.
    Military Class III Components are seen around the CPU socket. These are the SFC and Solid Capacitors
    The layout of the board is pretty the same as any MSI Z77 SKU models they have to offer. VRM heatsinks comes with flat heatpipe for better heat dissipation and a larger heatsink for the south. 
    Three PCIEx16 slots for multi-graphic card configurations.  Single video card can run @ Gen3 x16 while if you are about to use two it will be @ Gen3 x8 x8 and lastly for three, it will be Gen3 x8 x4 x4.
    All of the ports are handled by the Intel chipset. Starting from the left, you have USB 3.0 then 4x SATA 3GB/s in black and in white are 2x SATA 6GB/s.
    The rear I/O Ports are pretty standard but with the additional of the Thunderbolt port which is located beneath the VGA port. The board also have SPDIF/Coaxial Ports for Digital Audio Output.
    Then you have the bundles in the package.

    Is there any testing report that will follow to show us what was achieved with this board ? i.e. your practical tests on using Thunderbolt vs USB3 ?
    Such a pity there is no PCI slot.
    Or a DVI connection.

  • Flashing MSI Z77A-G45

    My PC won't POST after installing a new Gigabyte 7870 (old one RMA'd, and had an 8 pin connector, this one has 2x6). I think the problem could be the motherboard, one of the BIOS updates gives 'Improved PCI-E display card compatibility' which is possibly the reason why this GPU won't POST, as my motherboard has an older BIOS version than the one which improves compatibility. Been through some troubleshooting and this is the only reason which I figured it could be, unless the actual GPU is faulty, but I don't have another system to test it on. 
    Anyway if you guys think that there is a large chance it is the Motherboard BIOS's which is outdated, is it still reccomended to use the forum flasher instead of M-Flash? And would anyone have any idea where to find and use that? 

    Would it be better to use the latest BIOS version found on the MSI website - http:// uk.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G45.html#/?div=BIOS
    Or the latest Beta/Full release version found here? - http:// forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161033.0

  • Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt - Newer BIOS?

    Hi,
    Might be a dumb question, but can someone tell me which is a newer BIOS?
    I'm using this beta BIOS:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=166102.0
    However, a newer BIOS by date appeared on the support site, but seems to be lower by version (but not beta).
    http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G45-Thunderbolt.html#/?div=BIOS
    Which BIOS is newer/should I be using?

    from msi web is the latest one

  • MSI z77a-G45 Infinite Reboot Loop

    Hello,
    Here are my system specs:
    Core i5 3570K
    Hyper212 Plus
    Intel 330 180 GB SSD (with OS on it)
    WD 1TB Black (for data)
    MSI z77a-G45 motherboard
    G.Skill Ripjaws 8 GB RAM
    EVGA GTX 660 FTW Signature 2
    Corsair TX650m PSU
    Lite-on iHAS124-04 Optical DVD Drive
    Corsair 200R case
    I should mention the following up front: I don't know what is causing my problem, but my guess is it's either PSU or motherboard.
    Nothing in my system is overclocked (except for the fact that my GTX 660 card comes factory OC'd). Here is my issue. Yesterday, I shut down my computer and everything was normal. I didn't change anything at all. Today in the evening, I tried to power on my computer, and it simply goes into an infinite reboot loop. I don't see anything on the monitor, nothing comes up. The computer powers on for about 10 seconds, and then powers off for about 5-6 seconds, and it keeps repeating this process. Actually getting this process to stop is a bit tricky (I think I have to hold down the power button for several seconds when the computer is off). Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried a few things, like checking to make sure the 8 pin and 24 pin cables are tight. I've tried resetting CMOS and taking out the CMOS battery. Ideas? Thank you.

    Hi guys. I know this thread is 2 and a half months old but I need to find a solution to this problem. It may have been better to start a new thread, excuse me for not doing it as my problem is quite similar.
    Well, my situation is a bit different and I will explain it shortly but first I'll give you my PC specs.
    MSI Z77A-G45
    Intel i5-3570
    Corsair DDR3 8GB (2x4)Kit 1600MHz Vengeance
    Nvidia GeForce 9800GT
    So when I assembled my PC I put one RAM in DIMM2 and the other in DIMM4. This led to an infinite reboot loop. The fans and the leds were working but nothing was displayed on the screen. After doing some tests removing and inserting again the RAMs with different combinations I came to the conclusion that this infinite reboot loop is occurring when a RAM is inserted either in DIMM1 or DIMM2. My PC works fine if I connect the RAMs in DIMM3 and DIMM4 but not with the DIMM1-DIMM3, DIMM1-DIMM4, DIMM2-DIMM3, DIMM2-DIMM4 combinations.
    At first I thought one of my RAMs might be corrupt but after the tests I see that both work fine and I'm starting to believe that the Motherboard has the problem.
    Any ideas? This is really frustrating.
