Z87-G43 latest BIOS (180) now no USB, but only in Windows?!

I performed the bios update today with the assistance of MSI support.
No problems with their USB stick method, that part went fine.
However, now, I lose all USB once the motherboard boots.
I Have USB in the BIOS setup screens, etc.  Once the OS boots, I lose the USB stack.
Whats happening here?

Good grief...
It turns out that the USB 3.0 and other USB stack drivers become MEANINGLESS after the BIOS update.
Re-installing these brought the things back online.
Be sure to also install all the latest chipset and USB drivers as well.
sigh.  Documentation and testing seem to be weak with this organization.

    So today has not been good after 14 months of perfect use my PC is bricked!
    Downloaded the latest Bios for the board and put it on to a flash disk ( original: E7816IMS.1A0 new: E7816IMS.1B0)...
    Went into the Bios, then M-Flash and selected upgrade +me ... all seemed fine, until reboot now... Now the PC won't post but tries to turn on every 5 seconds or so.. with 2 blinks of the power led and momentary power to the fans...
    Cleared the CMOS -Many times now (cmos battery removed)
    I tried restarting the pc with everything disconnected (SATA/USB, R9 280 installed and then removed)
    Dug out my PS2 kb...
    Got a blank usb disk, formatted it (fat32) and put on E7816IMS.1A0 as per the MSi instruction for Bios recovery.
    Logged a support ticket... no answer so far
    Called Dabs... They don't normally get involved as it 14 months old....
    Sent an email to MSI support , no answer so far..
    IS there anything left to try?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.. I have tried that but I didn't really describe it well....!   "Got a blank usb disk, formatted it (fat32) and put on E7816IMS.1A0 as per the MSi instruction for Bios recovery"
    IS there any way to use the AMI bios recovery? or any other methods?

  • MSI Z87 G43 GAMING -BIOS CRASH-

    Hi everyone ,
    I got a z87 g43 gaming mobo  I try tried to update my mobo on the live update A40 to A50  then it stuckt
    Now no signal on monitor i tried to reset cmos by putting out  the battery but didnt work i dont understand what i need to do about jumper
    its something like that what can i do???
    Oh i almost forget my system is overclocked is it important and system resets itself(what is going on)   
    Other specs
    4x2 ram corsair
    4670k
    Gtx 760

    You have to return it to the seller if you want a replacement (LiveUpdate hasn't voided warranty as that was provided by MSI). Otherwise look around the city for repair center and ask if they can restore badly flashed BIOS on this mobo.

  • Z87-g43 bad Bios flash by Live Update5?

    Hi All
     So here is my problem.............I installed the MoBo fine and it all worked, no problem. One of the Utilities that come with the MoBo is an application called Live Update 5.0, which is supposed to keep the system as current as possible. In this application were some Update, one was something called "Sync", other is network card etc. and thither was an updated BIOS from 1.30 to 1.50 and recommended to update. I clicked the relevant button and off it went doing it's thing until................The Bios thing got to 50% in this little DOS type box, then the computer turned itself off and that was it, game over. All the computer will do now is sit there with a blank screen, turning itself off and on every ~5mins, it just doesn't POST at all.
     Is there a way to recover the BIOS ?
     Any advice gratefully received, many thanks

    i happy, mobo working again.
    I build SPI programer and connect to JPSI1. Then upload bios file to nand. Now is working again.
       Wow! Nice work! Now as a recommendation, remove Live Update from your machine, and if the drivers need updating, download them manually from an MSI Website and install them yourself. LU5, unfortunately, can't be trusted, 'especially' for BIOS updating.

  • MSI Z87-G45 flashed bios 19 now Intel Management Engine doesnt work

    I used the forum tool to flash the latest bios 1,19 for my Z87-g45 and after booting back into windows and reinstalling intel ME I have a yellow exclamation mark over the Intel ME Interface in device manager.
    It says the device cant start and STATUS_DEVICE_POWER_FAILURE
    I tried installing the MS hotfix that comes with the latest Intel ME software on the MSI website but it doesnt install and says it isn't suitable for my computer when I run it.  I tried the 64bit first then the 32bit.

    I fixed this by installing the older 1.18 using the built in mflash instead of the forum tool.
    I don't know if it was the 1.19 version or the forum tool that stopped intel management engine working but selecting bios and intel me flash from the built in mflash worked.
    I did worry when my computer shut down and restarted at 49% complete but upon starting again it showed a blank screen with flashing percentage for intel me in the middle starting around 50%.

  • Z87-G43 - 9C bios code - not skipping

    Is it normal if I have a flash drive plugged into my computer, and i reset system, my computer stuck on 9c bios code...
    Bios versio 1.60

    0x9C USB Detect
    My best guess would be after the reset it is trying to boot off the USB device.

  • Mac Pro  -  Reads USB Drive only in Windows

    For the past couple weeks I have been sharing 'Word' documents on a USB drive using both Windows and Mac OS platforms. A couple days ago the Mac side of the computer stopped recognizing the USB drive. It does even show the drive on the desktop. I tried putting the drive in the other USP port. This didn't help. When I turn on the Windows side, using XP, the drive works fine.
    Am I doing something wrong? Can I use the same USB drive to share files? Or, do I need try another way to share files between platforms?
    If this doesn't work, I was thinking of putting my files on Google Documents and accessing almost everything via the Internet.

    I recently had the reverse happen to me. I had a FAT formatted flash drive that I would frequently put into a device that needed non-Mac. I also used to use it a lot with Windows - Mac transfers. Plugged it into a Windows computer and it said it needed formatting. The only think I can think of is occasionally something gets written to the drive in a form that the other system can't handle. I'd copy off any files that are valuable then reformat the drive to FAT and see if it then works.

  • H77MA-G43 Failed BIOS Upgrade, Now BIOS Corrupted

    PC Specs:
    Intel Core i7 3770 Ivy Bridge
    2X Kingston RAM Modules 4GB 1600Mhz
    MSI H77MA-G43 Mainboard
    NVIDIA GeForce GT240 Video Card
    Hello everyone:
    So, i've been searching for a solution everywhere, for quite a while now, and nothing... ergo this Forum Topic,
    My Situation went like this:
    1. Clean Install of Windows 8 x64, in UEFI Mode
    2. LiveUpdate Tool installed
    3. BIOS upgrade went in progress, part of the LiveUpdate automatic update
    4. Accidentally confirmed the upgrade, while i was doing other things (i know, feel so stupid)
    5. BIOS upgrade tool, erases BIOS 100% for Re-write it (Check )
    6. BIOS upgrade tool starts to write the new firmware and BOOM Blue Screen of Dead in the middle of the process [NVIDIA DLL related issue]
    7. Reboot computer
    8. Now the board, is gracefully useless. Dead. No startup of nothing.
    So, i understand that the BIOS is corrupted, i read in my Mainboard's feature page that it's possible to overwrite the BIOS from an USB Drive, but requires that the old BIOS start and boot from the USB Drive, so what should i do? i mean, i really don't have to post any problem almost ever, but this it's way out of my line of knowledge, so kindly i ask for someone help.
    PS: i'm not so Dummy when it comes to computers. but for this treat me like one, so i understand really well how to solve this, because i really. don't want to buy another mainboard,
    Thank you all in advance, i apreciate what comunities do for dummies like me...
    Regards to you again.

    i've been reading the last thread, been trying to do it with a usb stick... but i really don't know the thing with CTRL+HOME, it presses after computer start?, once? keep pressing?, multiple times?, that kind of things are not specified on the guide, my Bios file is about 8MB, so i guess it takes its time... without the screen feedback is so frustrating.... i can't found a specific guide for this boards, all of this is try and hope... there should be information more specific... i mean, should i contact MSI Tech support? you think, they would be helpful?
    It was long time ago i cant remember how the process went. Did you also tried with the original drivers CD as i suggested before?
    Yes is better you contact MSI support, in the meantime just get to a store to see if they have the tools to flash it.

  • MSI Z87-G43 Gaming and R9 290 OC Windforce not playing nice

      Hi, already tried search but can find a solution, i have an Z87-G43 Gaming(Bios 10.30) and bought an Gigabyte R9 290 OC ref:GV-R929OC-4GD-GA(BIOS F3L). All is on latest Firmware/BIOS.
    The problem is that the motherboard wont recognize my 290 on first PCIE 3. It works on second 16x slot. THe thing is... An Gigabyte 7950,Sapphire 7970, Unknown NVIDIA 7200gs all work in the first slot... now that i got bf4 my 290 doesnt work in the first slot... Latest bios from MSI say's vga compat. improved. The computer boots fine with the integrated vga and in bios it shows the first slot as empty. Anyone?

    Like I said best to contact both and see what you can do. When I check VBIOS for MSI cards, there are normally newer versions available, so best to check. On the other hand if it is a bios issue, MSI can get on it.

  • Z87-G43 Gaming - Random rebooting & strange CPU temps

    Howdy.
    Since building this system I've been having constant problems with system reboots. It seems completely random, but I've had a few this morning which is unusual (and I hope; unique!). It can be doing anything, or even nothing, for days and suddenly the power goes completely for a few seconds (I'm almost certain it isn't the power supply itself dropping, other things plugged into the same surge protector are still running).
    When it returns windows log just shows Error 6008, with no other information. It happens infrequently enough for me to think I've cured it by doing something suddenly to get a surprise again. Things I've tried:
    Re-installing OS (several times!).
    Changing/stopping startup programs and services
    Unplugging USB devices (for a while I honestly thought it was an iPhone cable! There seemed to be some correlation between it being plugged in and not plugged in. Not so).
    Updating BIOS
    Using Microsoft drivers instead of MSI supplied drivers (went back to MSI)
    Using the Qualcomm Athero drivers for LAN instead of Killer
    Monitoring CPU temps (see below!)
    Tuning BIOS
    etc, etc.
    It is really frustrating, there is very little evidence to point towards one thing. It can go a week without rebooting, including lots of heavy gaming, and then I'll be doing something non-CPU intensive (i.e. browsing, or typing) and it suddenly restarts, then maybe another later that day, then another two days later, then nothing for a week again. Arggg! The one thing I have noticed, is that it rarely, if ever, goes down when doing something very CPU/GPU intensive, so I doubt it is thermal or that the PSU isn't coping.
    Having said that, this morning has been a bit unusual, it has restarted more than ever (3 times I think, maybe more when I wasn't sat in front of it, I haven't checked the logs).  The last time I fired up openhardwaremonitor and it reports something really odd, it says one core is running at nearly 125c and another is running at -35c . Speed fan is also showing these temps (but not Core temp, which shows them as being around 30c on each core). I totally understand that this is a misreading/bug, but it makes me wonder if the OS or motherboard is also misreading these temperatures and cutting the power supply?
    I have found others with the same problem with the same motherboard (although to be fair, I was searching for the problem with the motherboard specified). Anybody else seeing these problems with this motherboard? Any suggestions?
    Any help would be very much appreciated, and I thank you in advance.

    Every other time (apart from today) it is instant, like a reset, this morning when it went off I honestly thought it had died, but it came back about 30 seconds later.
    TBH; I'd rather it had died! I know it sounds like strange logic, but at least I could have tested individual components and found out exactly what was wrong and had it replaced while still fairly new.
    Event Viewer is just full of: Error 6008 "The previous system shutdown at <time> on ‎<date> was unexpected" (logged when it comes back, nothing significant before the reboot).

  • X220 BIOS/Firmware - does it support "Secure Boot" under Windows 8?

    I am getting ready to install W8x64 Pro.  I have a X220 with the latest BIOS (1.36 if I recall correctly) using Windows 7x64 currently.  I have run the Upgrade Assistant and it says: "Secure Boot isn't compatible with your PC."  "Your firmware doesn't support Secure Boot so you won't be able to use it in Windows 8."
    Assuming when I install W8x64 bit I have "Boot to UEFI First" and "UEFI BIOS Only" set in the BIOS - and the SSD formatted as a GPT SSD - should Secure Boot work?
    The 1.36 BIOS is not listed as Windows 8 compatible.  I see there is a BIOS for the X230 that is W8 compatible but I am not going to install it.
    At any rate - for any of you X220 users - you can click on "System Information" in W8 or type in "msinfo32" in the run script and it will say whether "Secure Boot" is Unsupported or On.
    Here is a Lenovo link for installing W7 using UEFI but it does not mention whether you would be able to be in "Secure Mode" at the end. 
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT051844
    Kent

    Latest firmware is supposed to support Windows 8. But I don't know what support is supposed to mean... I'd say that if you've installed under UEFI and still doesn't enable, it doesn't.
    Thou now that I think of... After I installed using UEFI, I had to go back to the BIOS and change some setting. Reset-some-key or something. I can't restart the computer now but whenever I restart it I'll let you know which setting it was. (it can be several days)
    Good luck.
    If I helped you, please give me some kudos! ^^

  • I have installed an Windows Partition, and now my keyboard won`t run and it only starts Windows

    I have installed Windows with boot camp, now my MacBookAir starts only with Windows and the keyboard and the trackpay don`t work
    Please i need some HELP

    Have you installed the support drivers that Bob mentioned above?
    If you used a USB to install Windows (I take it you're on Windows 7) and it's at least 8GB download the support drivers to the same USB then boot in to Windows with the USB plugged in and the automatic install process should start. Maybe

  • MSI z87 G43 OC GENIE ISSUE/Bios UPDATE

    Hi Everyone, This is my First time posting to the forums.
    Here Are my System Specs Before I post the question
    Motherboard: msi z87 g43
    CPU: intel core i7 4770k (haswell)
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance Ram ddr3 clocked at 1333mhz, 16gb, using 4 4gb sticks.
    GPU: evga gtx 770 nvidia
    PSU: Bronze certified psu at around 850 watt.
    CPU COOLER: is a standard corsair single radiator water cooler
    QUESTION/PROBLEM:
    Ive had this computer built for about a year (basically right when the gtx 770 released). I have no problems with the device and it works perfectly. The motherboard however is where my problems starts to arise. I tried my hand at overclocking but ended up with a blue screen after some stress testing and just set my values back to default. But since then I really havent tried anything new with it. However, I noticed OC genie and I thought hey maybe Ill try this out for a chance. So I boot up and go into the bios set up (all values are default) and press the oc genie.As soon as the screen flashed back up I get a black screen and can not post. The only way to actaully fix this is to reset my CMOS which luckily I know how to do. But the black screen displayed also had a number letter combo at the bottom. It displayed 9C at the bottom in white. But when I get a successfull boot into the bios right beofre the bios logo I get a black screen with A2. But the A2 appears in every boot. Now heres where things get funky. I have a logitech Camera I use primarily for skype. When I have the device plugged in before the computer is booted. When I try to boot I get the black screen with the 9C, but when I unplug and reboot, I get the A2 and I get into my OS.
    Now I tried overclocking again at 46 multiplyer with a 1.2v but When I did I get text saying its not successfull and resets my bios info, (which is cool considering oc genie didnt do this it just corrupts my CMOS).
    So you must all be asking what version of the bios I have and the answer is 1.0....
    Now I know there is a 1.9 and even a 1.A version which came out this year in 2014
    The problem with this however is I know the dangers of flashing my bios and it can really screw up my mobo as in brick the darn thing. But from what I read, Live update form msi does not work and I shouldnt use it. But Is flashing the bios via the bios set up where there is a section specifically for flashing safe to do? With the oc genie not working im scared to try flashing my bios via the bios setup if that makes any sense
    To wrap it up, is it a problem with my mobo, do I need to update my bios to fix it? If yes then what is the safest way of doing it since ive never done a bios update before (but i get the concept put the up date on a FAT 32 load it from it in the bios set up option let it do its thing and boom ) .

    The method above does NOT apply to your board. Either use MFlash (bios + ME option) or use the below:
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
         A.) Download the attached archive (E7816IMS_1A0.rar.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
         B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
         C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
         D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
         E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
         F.) Boot to the USB 
         G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
         H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows:  http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip
