Z87-G41 PC Mate used Live Update 5 to update BIOS now no POST

I downloaded MSI's Live Update 5 and stupidly had it update everything. I was away from my desk while it ran and I heard the sound making crazy noises and the screen was dark so I manually powered down. Now when I boot up it won't post and I get nothing on the screen. I've tried to reset CMOS and I've stripped it down to just cpu and 1 stick of ram. Still no joy.

sounds like the BIOS on the board is Bricked!
one thing you could try is to put a USB stick in a black port while when you power it on and see if its attempting to access it! (If it is its not fully bricked and you need to make a USB flash drive with the BIOS file (ROM) on it and it will attempt a recovery)
if its doesn't work then you have 2 options!
1: RMA the board to MSI to be flashed back into working order
2: Find a shop near you that does SPI flash updates and have them Directly flash the BIOS chip!
So when I put a thumb drive in the back with the ROM, I can't really tell if it's trying to access it or not (no activity lights). What happens when I turn on the comp is that it will power on (no beeps) and after about 8 seconds it will power off, then restart. I generally turn it off at that point. I'll try putting the USB stick in and letting it run. It sucks because I get no video (tried onboard and GPU) so I can't really tell what's going on. Thanks for the info. I've already emailed MSI support to get a head start but I'm hoping I won't need to wait on them. I need my computer up and running for my side business.

MSI Z87 G41 PC MATE GRAPHICS CARD ISSUE

Hey gus,
Yesterday I put together a new build, however I can only get integrated video to output to the monitor and not my discrete GPU. I have updated the bios to 1.4 from 1.2, made sure the GPU in question works (by trying on another machine) tried different cables etc etc. When I go into the BIOS I see there are two options for PEG and IGD modes. Default is PEG which is what it should be set to I would think. If anyone knows a fix for this issue please help! Thanks!
MOBO: MSI Z87 G41 PC MATE
PSU: THERMALTAKE 600 WATT
CPU; i5-4670K
GPU: GTX 560

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Use option 1 pointed directly at the attached archive or run the bat file from pure dos.
This is bios 1.4
Make sure this is your board prior to flash: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z87-G41-PC-Mate.html#/?div=Driver&os=Win8.1 64
You will need to re-install the ME drivers after the flash.

which version it is exactly?
and have you flashed to this version when you got the board?
If so do you include BIOS+ME Update? [required] not sure the bios file was just downloaded and then flashed in the bios via USB. does the MSI bios include the +me as standard?
bios was updated because we believed that was the issue but same problem. the bios version is
how many sticks are they?
have you tried with 1 memory stick only? then to see if reboot issue will persist
only 1 x 8 gb stick so not an option unfortunately
you mean CL11? yes sorry
its weird when the computer is up and running its fine just doesn't reboot

Onboard graphics Z87-G41 PC MATE

Hi all,
I am cross posting from another board hoping someone can help me out on this one!
This weekend I was able to piece everything together and install the OS for the first time. However, I had the intentions of utilizing the onboard graphics on my MSI mobo to run an extended desktop until I can decide on a GPU.
The following are components of this build:
Intel i5 4670k
Thermaltake Water 2.0 Pro 81.3 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Sandisk 32gb SSD
Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD
Corsair 550D Case
Thermaltake 600w PSU
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit
I am able to work on the computer without the GPU without any issue for the time being, but before I add a new card I would like to run extended desktop. I work primarily in excel and its just a convenience to have the extended desktop. I know the onboard graphics for this mobo supports three display outputs and I currently have two hooked up, (DVI and HDMI) but I am only able to mirror the displays. In display settings only one monitor is recognized. I have enabled the multiple display setting in the bios as well.
Anyone encounter this issue or know how I can set up two displays? I know a new GPU will easily fix this but it could be some time before I decide on a card as I won't be doing any gaming until work slows down.
Thanks!
Michael

Have you enabled multi-monitor support in the BIOS? (Settings\Advanced)
By default it would seem to be disabled, the manual states:
"IGD Multi-Monitor [Disabled]
Enables or disables the multi-screen output from integrated graphics and external
graphics card. To support the Lucid Virtu MVP Technology, please enable this
item.
[Enabled] Enables IGD multi-screen function.
[Disabled] Disables IGD multi-screen function."

Z87-G41 pc mate : monitor does not come back on after wakeup

Everytime the computer goes to sleep and wakes up, the monitor does not come on. I can shut it off and turn it back on and the desktop will flash, then goes black again. Just started doing this last week. I updated all drivers and this did not help either. I am running Win 7 Ultimate 32 bit. I have had this MOBO since last March with no problems. Any ideas?

Possibly some updates or changes has been made?(within windows/bios)

H67MA-E45 Updated to latest BIOS now won't load BIOS?

Hi,
I ran the latest BIOS update 7678v32, all seemed to go fine and it said BIOS update completed will now restart. Now the LED and fan starts for 1-2 secs then goes off straight away, this repeats every 10secs or so.
I've tried clearing CMOS but still nothing. Any ideas
Cheers
Andy

ok it sounds like a bricked board to me. you could try to first do a full CMOS clear to make sure!
how to perform a full CMOS Clear:
1: remove power cord from PSU!
2: hold power Button on case for 30 seconds!
3: remove the CMOS Battery for 5-30mins!
4: now use the Clear Cmos Jumper to clear Data and then put it back in Keep Position
5: put the CMOS Battery Back in!
6: Reconnect Power
7: Power the PC Back on
if that doesn,t get the board working you have bricked the BIOS chip and it needs to be Re-programed and that will leave you with 2 options:
1: send the board in to MSI for them to Directly Flash the Chip to get it working!
2: Take the Board to a shop that has a SPI Flash Programmer to directly Flash the BIOS chip!

4TB Drive not recognized on Z87-G41

Hi folks,
This is an Ubuntu box that hosts VMs and serves as a NAS. I'm trying to get it to recognize some 4TB WD Red NAS drives, and they only show up as 3TB, even in the BIOS! So I don't think this is OS-level.
Specifics:
- Ubuntu 14.04
- Installed Windows 8.1 on another HD to update the motherboard, so that's available for troubleshooting.
- MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate motherboard
- Processor/RAM: Intel Core i3 4340 @ 3.60GHz, 1x8GB Crucial DDR3 1600.
- I've got four of these hard drives, 2 retail and 2 OEM. ONE of them, ONCE, showed up as 4TB in the Ubuntu disk manager, then after a reboot, switched back to 3TB.
Things I've done:
- Updated to latest BIOS (v1.7), which claims to have improved 4TB HDD capability. Still showing up as a 3TB drive in the BIOS menus.
- Formatted the drive with a GUID partition table in Ubuntu, Windows 8 and via a GParted boot disk.
- Installed an IO Crest SI-PEX40064 SATA card. Reviews claim this thing recognizes 4TB drives, but again they show up as 3TB.
I'm getting desperate here. Can anyone help me?

Thanks for your replies.

Have you tried connecting only a single drive and see what is the amount recognised? Also did you use SATA II or III cables?
I hadn't tried just the 4TB drive; I had been doing OS + that. Just tried the drive alone, issue persists. I've been using SATA II cables, but I've got a couple of new SATA III cables sitting around so I opened that and used it -- no change there, either.
@Bernhard: Quote from: Bernhard on 13-July-14, 23:40:05
The BIOS 1.7 states quite clearly, "Improved 4TB HDD Compatibility."
That's what I said in the original post... not sure what you mean by this.
Quote
How did you flash your BIOS and did you do a full CMOS clear after the BIOS flash?
I updated via the Windows downloader/installer GUI. After a restart, I relaunched it and confirmed that BIOS was up to v1.7. I hadn't cleared the CMOS, so I just did it (power off, short the jumper indicated in the manual, power back on). It certainly said all settings were cleared, although I don't know whether that's what you mean by "full" CMOS clear.
Quote
If all that fails, then you need to contact MSI technical and tell them your config (drives used) so that they can ascertain the problem.
Sounds like that's the next step.
Thanks again guys. Please let me know if you think of anything else I could try while I await a response from support.

My problem is that so...

Hi all. Newbie here... I attempted to update my motherboard bios the other day when I noticed there was an udpated version that fixes a little problem that's been annoying me for a while:
Quote- Fixed memory size can not be identified properly.[/quot...

How far do the MSI z87-G41's OC capabilities extend?

First off; hi! I'm new here, but not to forums or PC hardware. I'm active over at anandtech and THG, and some gaming forums.
My question relates to my brand new MSI z87-G41 PC Mate. I'm a bit new to overclocking but not without a clue, however I just can not get the motherboard to let me change any voltage or multiplier settings.
Main Board: MSI z87-G41
Bios Version: Don't know. One that came in the box.
Video Card: PNY GTX 770@1332Mhz
PSU: Rosewill HIVE 550w. (38A, 456w)
CPU: i5 4670k
Memory: OEM 8GB (4x2GB) 1333Mhz 9CAS
SSD/ HDD: OEM Seagate 1.5TB 7200rpm. 4 years old
CPU COOLER: NZXT respire T40
Any Additional hardware plugged into your system: NAXT sentry 2 fan controller, OEM DVD burner, netgear w900 USB wi-fi stick
OC: Attempting
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
I am trying to increase the voltage just a tad as I am game stable at 4.2Ghz but not p95 or F@H stable. (stock 1.12v) I have a good cooler and voltage is low so I am looking to push to ~4.4-4.6Ghz. I'd been adjusting with the Intel Tuning Utility to get it to 4.2, but it doesn't change voltage.
TIA
EDIT: Oh. Looks like this belongs in overclocking. :|
EDIT2: Well don't I look stupid. I needed to use numpad +/- and not the ones near the 0 and backspace. Nevermind then!

I tried multiple version of CCC, including old one and the new beta one, not one of them is working.
The card does show in the device manager but in a strange way : it is called in safe mod "Standard VGA" but if you follow those instructions :

Hello Mr. Sil3nt,
Thank you for your post. It is best to get your drivers from the hardware manufacturer, have you tried going to www.... ? You will need to know the make/model of your card in order to get the appropriate driver for your device. To do this, try the following:
Click 'Start' > Right-click 'Computer' > Select 'Manage'
Click 'Device Manager'
In the right pane, expand 'Display Adapters'
Below, you should see your video card, it may say 'Standard VGA'
Right-click this device and select 'Properties'
Select the 'Details' tab and scroll the bar to 'Hardware ID's'
You can then copy this info and put it into a web search that should yield results for your video card type.
From there, you can go to nvidia's website and download/install the latest driver for your card and operating system. Please let us know if this did or didn't help to resolve your problem.
Cheers

Z87-G41 gives no video signal; no POST code

Hello.
I finished putting together my third build yesterday using a Z87-G41 and have run into a problem I've never experienced and haven't been able to find a solution online yet.
My problem:
With all components plugged into the motherboard/power (no GPU), I do not receive a video signal. I have tried both the VGA and DVI slots. I have tried multiple monitors. I have also tried using my GPU just to see. Same result all around.
In an attempt to get a POST code, I took everything out and started the process of elimination. The only code I get is bad/no RAM when none is plugged in. It of course ceases when I put it back in. I have tried multiple brands. All RAM is DDR3.
I will add that all components are out-of-the-box new except for my RAM/PSU, but they are also relatively new. I have tried another PSU just to see; same issue.
I have checked the CPU socket for bent/missing pins, but everything looks fine. I'm no expert, though.
I'd appreciate any help on this issue. Like I said, I've found info on this issue online, but all the solutions are really obvious stuff (using the wrong video port, etc.). No solution for me yet.
Thanks.

Realtek HD Audio Manager on Z87-G41 Motherboard

I have the Z87-G41 PC Mate MB with the Realtek HD Audio Manager installed. It seems to be working properly, both the rear and front panel ports produce sound. However, when I plug headphones into the front panel port, the Audio Manager program pops up with a box stating the current connected device is: Headphones. I then have to click the OK button and click out of the program. Is there anyway I can avoid having to go thru this step? Can't the program be set to recognize the headphones without me verifying it? It's a wast of time.

ok follow these steps!
enter your realtek HD audio Manager
go into Device Advanced settings for your Speakers
Mute The Rear Jack Device when a front Headphone Plugged in is selected
click ok
now click the folder icon on the analog section or just above it
and now check both the connector settings there then make sure that it doesn't ask anymore for you to go through confirming it each time you plug in or unplug your headphones!

HELP: Failure flashing BIOS using Live Update 5

Hi,
I used Live Update 5 to download the latest BIOS version for my MB. Then when I was running the update, I chose "". (I know it's incorrect and I should have chosen the other one.) After the update, the machine restarted and showed a cursor blinking on the top left on a black screen, and it wouldn't proceed any more. I can enter the BIOS without a problem. I can also boot from CD or USB, but the windows on my machine simply wouldn't boot.
After the problem arose, I have tried flashing the BIOS with the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing tool on this forum. It tells me that but the same problem remains.
What should I do now?
Thanks for your time and consideration!

After any flash, the battery should be removed for awhile and the CMOS cleared. Reset all your BIOS menu settings again making sure the boot order etc. is correct and the proper mode is selected that your OS was installed under, i.e. IDE or AHCI mode.

[Solved] GT70 Registers as GE70 / Used live update 5

Hello everyone!
So I have a GT70 notebook, and when I register it on the MSI website, the product name says: GE70 0ND.
The serial number says GT70-0NDXXXXX....
So my question is: is my GT70 a hidden GE70? Does it matter? Are they the same and do they have the same drivers?
Also, I have another question: I used Live Update 5 a while ago, but now I saw the disclaimer, saying that it's not for notebooks...:( What do I do? How do I get rid of the drivers? Also, is there something like Live Update for notebooks aswell?
Thanks in advance!

Hi 14Died14,
For the registration problem, think it's better to contact MSI and ask them to check of your registration.
http://register.msi.com/
As you known Live Update 5 is not for notebook and the fastest way to uninstall all the drivers you installed by using live update is to do system reset and re-install all the drives. Sadly you'll have to download all the drivers and update them one by one. I'll strongly recommend you to re-install the drivers since there might be some unknown issues pops up if you're using the drivers from live update.
Which OS are you currently using?
