Z77A-GD65 Quick Sync with Virtu MVP Issue

Hi everyone! My apologies if this has been answered elsewhere but my searching didn't find anything conclusive. I'm a very happy convert from an EVGA P67 SLI board (ugh) to an MSI Z77A-GD65 (YAY!) So far, I absolutely love this board but I'm having an issue I hope someone can answer. I run a YouTube channel and render a lot of video using Sony Movie Studio Platinum. This product is supposed to support Intel's Quick Sync technology to greatly speed up processing times. Normally, you need to have a monitor running off the IGP for this to be available but Virtu MVP is supposed to get around this. I have a GTX770 as my main video card and a Core i7-2600K which is confirmed to support Quick Sync. However, I've had no luck getting Quick Sync to appear as available to Movie Studio Platinum. Here's what I've done:
1. Enabled IGP in the BIOS (also tried making it the primary display adapter, didn't change anything.)
2. Installed latest drivers for both Intel HD 3000 and my GTX770. Both are available to the system.
3. Set Virtu MVP as D-Mode (either mode supposedly enables Quick Sync and D-Mode's obviously better for gaming.)
4. Installed the Virtu MVP software and created a profile for Movie Studio Platinum. Tried it in both D-Mode and I-Mode through the software.
The short of it is that Movie Studio Platinum does not recognise Quick Sync as being available. It's just not selectable which means it can't detect it. I've also tried plugging my secondary monitor directly into the IGP. This isn't supposed to be necessary with Virtu MVP but I don't game on my second monitor so whatever. Still nothing. I'm kind of at a loss for what to do now. I've been told that most mainboards require you to enable Quick Sync specifically in the BIOS but I don't see that option. Is it just always enabled when the IGP is on this board or does it have to be toggled elsewhere?
If anyone has advice on this, I would really appreciate it. My purchase of this board wasn't contingent on Quick Sync but given the amount of video rendering I'm doing right now, having that acceleration would be a massive boon to me. This feels like I'm just missing something simple. Any advice people can offer? Thanks a ton everyone!

I actually did download the latest MVP from their site, is that what you're talking about or something else?
I'm pleased to report that my Quick Sync issue has been resolved and well, it was pretty much my fault. Turns out only certain rendering profiles in Movie Studio Platinum are able to use Quick Sync. Their documentation didn't make this clear but I stumbled over the solution and it's working like a charm. Thanks!

Games crashes with Virtu MVP software on Z77A-GD65-Gaming

Hi,
I have set-up Virtu MVP with d-mode in the bios, installed Nvidia and Intel HD drivers but are having problems with games crashes.
With version 2.1.223 my issues are:
- All Call of Duty games crash on start with VV & HF enabled
With version 2.1.224 my issues are:
- Graphics corruption / artefacts with Crysis.exe
- Virtu MVP control panel does not allow editing and removing of games, also 'H' column is missing with game selection
- All Call of Duty games crash on start with VV & HF enabled
I am using Windows 8 Pro, Core i7 3770K with MSI NGTX 670 PE/OC
Lucid web site says that I have to contact mainboatd manufacturing (i.e. MSI) for support - is that correct?
Thanks

Lucid MVP has proved to be a disaster. With some games it seems to work and other not without considerable effort. My advise would be to disable the feature. If you wish to use gpu virtualization, you can try assigning Phys x to the cpu via the NVidia control panel.

Z77A-GD65 USB3 port with Seagate Freeagent go desk issues

I have a Z77A-GD65 motherboard, with an intel i5 Ivy Bridge 3570k processor. Kingwin LZP-550 PSU and have attached via USB3 (using a USB3 cable of course) a seagate Free Agent Go Desk 2TB external hard drive.
On my old system the drive when the system is on, is running just spins down when its not in use.. power light stays on for the drive all the time. That was also a USB3 system, just another USB3 chipset.
On this motherboard, sometimes the drive when the system is powered up doesn't turn on and I have to unplug the USB cable and replug it in, after that the drive power LED comes on and spins up.
Any reason why this motherboard is acting like this? The drive should come on with the system like it did on my old system.
Anything I can do to fix this or change the USB ports behavior? It's almost like its not telling the device it's on.

Attached is the latest beta bios for your board.(MSI recommended this)
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
MSI tried to duplicate the problem but couldn't does this testing procedue seem right to you?
1.   Install System driver and reset
2.   Connect USB HDD to USB 3.0 port. The device can be recognized.
3.   Reboot the system
4.   Check Computer and still can find the USB HDD
5.   Power off the system
6.   Power on and check Computer.
Z77A-GD65
BIOS: E7751IMS.A50
WIN7 64 bit
USB 3.0 driver: 1.0.4.225
Seagate FreeAgent Goflex STAA1500301 1.5TB
I installed that BIOS and still have the issue, one easy way to reporduce this is to power up the system into windows 7 x64, sleep the computer in (sleep mode in bios is set to S3) when you wake it, the USB3 drives are offline

MSI z77a-gd65 error 55 with 4 DIMMs installed

While I did find another thread similar to my issue mine is a little different as all slots are functional.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=158224.msg1162108#msg1162108
If I install 4 DIMMs the board shows "55" on the debug LEDs. If I take out any two DIMMs (slots 1,3 or slots 2,4) the system boots fine and is completely stable. I can also have either pair install to either set of slots. I also made sure the memory timing, voltage, etc. where set correctly in the BIOS.
Any suggestions?

That it works when slots 1 and 3 or 2 and 4 are used, points to a problem an updated UEFI/BIOS may or may not resolve. Recommend to contact MSI Technical with your findings and see what they recommend or have to say about it;

Well it appears to be a problem with the RAM. I just happen to be building another system with an asrock board and 16GB of G.Skill RAM. swapped RAM into my system and the G.Skill works perfectly in my z77a-gd65 board with all four slots populated. The Corsair RAM produces the exact same behavior when install in the asrock board. I'm just going to RMA the RAM.

Having issues with music volume after syncing with iCloud, Having issues with music volume after syncing with iCloud

Has anyone had issues with their music volume after syncing with iCloud ?

There have been several posts here and on the iphone site about this.
The jury is still out what the fix will be. Some posts say it's a problem with the metadata and the orientation data contained there-in. I can not confirm that.
I do know that when I take a landscape screen snap, the orientation is wrong when I email or upload the photo to my computer.

IMAP Sync with Iphone multifinder issue

It appears my Iphone4 does not accurately update from the server unless I "Quit" the mail and let it relaunch. If I leave it operating in the multifinder environment it works OK, gets new emails, but it get sloppy and doesn't cleanly update the inbox relative to the server. Is there a way to make mail quit everytime with double clicking the home button and quitting?

Having exactly the same problem. Syncing between google imap and mac OSX mail clients ***. Syncing with the iphone works fine though!!!
I think this is a combination of google screwing with standards (imap was a standard) and a complete lack of robustness on the part of apple with mail.
I have many other problems with mail the worst offender being it's propensity to refuse to quit when you want to shutdown or restart. This app has been at best poor for many years now. Time you spent some money getting this one right Apple!

Oracle Beehive sync with Treo 680 issue

README application will not download - fails after selecting Package_Installer.prc - returns message 404 Not Found
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

il_drago,
The information you provied is great, thank you. This should resolve your problem:
Ok, first we need to see if you can sync without calendar checked. On your computer right click the hotsync icon and go to settings. Then click on applactions and uncheck Datebook. Close up the menus and try to hotsync if it syncs fine good continue on.
Next we need to install a program on to your device called DBFixit (here's the link http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm) Download this file on the right side of the page. Then install the application to the device. Once on the device open it up and tap on the blue bar but in the top left select delete calendar blobs and say OK or yes. Then keep running that till you have 0 listed or no blobs found. Then we are going to hotsync with calendar syncing from the device to the PC. Again right click the hotsync icon and go to custom. Then click on calendar and then change. Then select handheld overwrites desktop. Sync and post back if that fixed the issue.
If it did then we need to change the sync to sync the files and set that as default. To do that, again right click the hotsync icon and go to settings. Then click on applactions and check Datebook. You should be all set at that point.

CUA sync with child client issue for indirect role assignment.

Hello Security experts,
we have a indirect role assignment set up in our ECC environment. there is a syncronization issue from the parent CUA to the chlild client. The role assignments have been made to role although they are not always reaching target system without having to sync up either the role or the IDu2019s position # manually. This has been an ongoing issue CUA has on any role or user from time to time. any hint on fixing this issue. please help..

Whole idea of CUA is to manage your roles and users centrally, on the contrary you can manage the roles/profiles by setting up the attributes for the CUA thorugh Central user Management console - SCUM Transaction.
CUA has its own pros -
Central rep,Users Sync,Role Provisioning statergy - Global composites(consists of individual child roles) Distibuted model -Provisioing at individual child systems for roles, etc.Central user store,easy maintenance.
on the contrary - change documents is always a concern ( because cua uses - interface Ids or the RFC ids to push the idocs from cua to child system), CUA maintenance while system refresh - Copied distribution models have to be deleted and re-created, system backups has to be defined per you distribution model, password maintenance if defined global then Child systems act as inactive nodes, reading the roles into cua which are created in childs so as to establish a pointer to that system.
It also depends on the number of systems you have in your landscape so that you can calculate the overhead and then have a Go -no-Go decison on CUA.
Overall, I consider CUA as a good approach provided we streamline the process of provisioning, de-provisioning per the cua standards.

ICloud calendar syncing with MS Outlook issue

Greetings,
I am not sure what happened but a message appeared within iTunes asking if I wanted to sync Outlook with the iCloud calendar. In the process all of my Outlook calendar entries were removed and I can't figure out how to get them back. Now I am trying to figure out how to sync the iCloud calendar back up with the Outlook calendar. I have looked but can't find anything that will answer the question. I would greatly appreciate some assistance on what the trick is.
Thank you.
Joe

After turning off iCloud, I would reload the Outlook backup file. That should recover all of your Outlook data. I would assume that you have Outlook set to either backup or autoarchive on a regular basis. After that you can see about turning iCloud back on. I would also believe that syncing the iCloud calendar and Outlook would be the same as doing it with an empty iPhone calendar and Outlook, you need to make sure there is a unique calendar event in iCloud that does not exist in Outlook to ensure you get a merge option. Not sure since I do not use iCloud, however you should be able to find information here http://www.apple.com/icloud/

Z77A-GD65 power led on sleep mode issue

Hello,
Just finished putting up my new gaming system. It's my second MSI mobo build. Everything works just fine except for one thing - power led won't blink on sleep mode, it stays lit up. I'm not sure if this is an OS issue. I've tried installing Win7 on two HDDs, one's IDE sata mode, and AHCI for the other one. Didn't make any difference. Computer will turn off and go to "sleep mode" but the power led will stay on. My MSI P67 mobo blinks when on sleep mode. Also, for the Z77 mobo, the ACPI setting on the BIOS has S3 mode, and it has "blinking" and "dual light" option for the sleep indicator, neither of these function properly. Even on BIOS v10.3, power led is still lit up on sleep mode. Flashed it to 10.5, still the same result. Overclocked or default, still the same result.
I really need an expert to tell me what is wrong with it. Is it a BIOS glitch? Or a defect?
Thanks in advance.
Jon

the power logix thing was really sad. apple changed so much after 10.4.8 that there wasn't a viable way to patch the software.
That statement is precisely why I don't believe in blindly updating the OS, especially in a non-standard machine.
We can't expect third parties to support us forever, and it is shameful to break something that works fine, except that we updated the OS....
I think that any upgrade or modification to a machine or the OS greatly increases the risk of trouble or incompatibility with current configuration and "new" system files.
After all, the component or software could only be tested as far as the current OS version when the component or software was released.
Beyond that, we are all "beta testing".
Following a beta tester protocol, and applying updates to a cloned system drive first, is a prudent way to approach updates, and not only for older, heavily modified machines.
After 10.4.8 and moreso with Leopard, the focus is primarily on Intel architecture, not PPC architecture.
Like it or not, we are all updating to the abyss of the extinction of our machines, unless we can be satisfied with the last stable version of OS that works well with our hardware and software.
I wish they would include the latest pkgs at least with software update.
Yes, having individual packages, rather than lump "OS X 10.x.x" updates would be nice.
This way, one could update as one sees fit. That is to say, for example, fix the Quicktime, but leave my Network alone, etc., etc.
In all fairness, Apple does provide for some breakdown of updates, but I believe there is much room for improvement, especially, as you point out, with regard to the core services portion of the OS.
Until then, I'll leave Software Update disabled.......

IPad sync with Outlook events issue

When I accept invitations on my Macbook and turn on my new iPad they are still showing up as pending invitations even though I accepted them on my Macbook.
Another funny thing if I accept them on the iPad they will reappear as new requests in a matter of hours.

Hi and welcome JASPERIMAGE ...
can I take all the contacts off my Ipad back into Outlook.
You may be able to do that followg the instructions here.

I don't think you need to have Outlook open in order to do that.

Syncing with Outlook caused issue

Hi All - So, I plug in the Bold, run the usual Desktop routine, and 106 calendar entries present on Outlook prior to sync get deleted. However, they all appear on the Bold -- but the originating calendar gets changed to a different email address! Result, handheld is right, outlook is wrong. Wha? I obviously said yes to something I shouldn't have -- do I restore to the previous backup and try again? Help!
Ever-challenged,
Sean

Hi CommAMMO,
It seems as if your sync settings need to be adjusted. You can adjust them by opening Blackberry Desktop Manager>Synchronize>Synchronization (on the left)>Synchronization(on the right)>Calendar>Setup>Outlook. At this point you can selected your desired sync options. Hopefully these steps help you. Please advise if you require further assistance.
Thank you for your contribution to our community forums,

Z77A-GD65 Asmedia error with Intel set to RAID

I've had my boot drive and an SSD on the two Intel SATA 3 ports, for RST. The controller was set to RAID mode (as it has to be), the discs were listed as non-RAID when it booted, and the cache was working fine.
I just bought a new drive, plugged it in, and found when anything is connected to the Asmedia ports (in either ACHI or IDE mode) when it boots, it gives the "A disk read error occurred, press CAD to restart" message. Strangely enough, I found that if I powered the drive up after I was in Windows, it would recognize properly and work fine - but that's not what I'm looking for.
So far the only way I've been able to get the machine to boot with the drive connected was to turn off RST/switch the Intel controller back to AHCI.
If anyone knows a way to work around this so I can get both to work at the same time, I could use the help.

That's what I did - the boot drive and the cache ssd were always on sata 1 and 2 (which I'm pretty sure is required for RST to work anyway) and my optical drive is on 3; I plugged the new drive in 7 on the Asmedia controller so I could get the full sata3 benefit.
I would assume that anyone trying to use any form of hardware raid on the Intel controller would run in to the same problem (without drives on the secondary controller in the raid, obviously), but I can't find any specific reference to that anywhere.
Also the same thing happens on the official 10.7 bios release that just came out, which I tried as well.

Nokia 6681 sync with outlook 2003 - issues

After synchronisation of phone with outlook 2003, where there are multiple phone number under single contact some numbers only gets imported into outlook contacts. For example. under one name, I have three office numbers, two home numbers, two mobile numbers. In outlook contacts only two office numbers, one home number and one mobile gets imported. Others are omitted. This means that I do not get 100% complete back up of contacts. In case my handset is destroyed or corrupted I will have only an incomplete contacts list. Further, number under "fax" does not get imported into outlook, but number under Fax (business) only getts imported. How to ensure that fields used in handset and outlook are identical so that during synchronisation 100% import is done

[Z77A-GD65] latest bios with ME?

Hi
I was just looking at updating my bios, a82 which was provided to me from a tech support ticket didn't update the ME firmware, so was looking at bringing both the bios and ME up to date.
The bios thread for this board mentions a83 is the latest beta bios but doesn't mention that it includes the ME update. Also is the a83 bios more up to date than the a80 official release, I'm guessing so but just like to check?
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=163874.0

I'm having some difficulty in getting this flash (A80 official) to commit.
I've tried a couple of times using the forum flasher tool (version 1.25g) which doesn't give any feedback of any errors. However, after resetting the CMOS and rebooting it only shows the bios version to have changed to 10.8 and the build date 12/17/2012 but the ME firmware version has remained unchanged.
Reading the forum flasher tool instructions it mentions that boot sector protection could be the cause of this but I don't see an option for that in the bios. Is the 'Execute Disable Bit' in the CPU features section the same thing?
Also, the forum flasher tool upon completion gives the option to reboot but I understood that the CMOS was to be reset so should the user answer no to rebooting and then power off system and then reset CMOS or should this be done after an initial reboot?
An option called 'PCH-FW' also crept into the bios at some stage that seems to relate to the ME firmware recovery, should this be set to disabled?
