Z87-G43 Reboot dont work

Hi, i have new build with MSI Z87-G43, Intel Core i5-4460, Kingston HyperX 2x4GB 1600MHz, Corsair CX 750W.
When i reboot - windows reboot or in BIOS 'Save and reboot' - computer reset and hangs and produces black screen, no beep, no bios, just hangs on power on and nothing happens.
When i just shut it down and power on again it works.
I updated bios to 1.7 but no change. Any ideas?
UPDATE: I just fixed it by updating bios again to 1.7. Second time it worked

I am going to try it again as you recommend. thanks for updating your experience!

Z87-G43 Gaming reboot dont work

hello all
my new MSI mainboards have a problem of reboot: fans run, leds also, but nothing more... if i've a reboot to make, the only solution is to turn off the system, and re launch after.
i've make all the tests that i've think:
without graphiq card (using mainboard ship)
with only one memory stick (using differents slots)
remove all usb/sound and other case connectors (ssd/dvd/hdd also): boot by contact with "screwdriver"
re install the latest BIOS (V10.4) 2 times
all work fine except reboot....
my config:
MSI Z87-G43 Gaming
Intel core I5 4460 (the new edition of haswell)
GSKILL Ripjaws F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (2x4go DDR3 1600 PC3 12800 c9-9-9-24 1.5v)
other (i dont think that's problem): gforce GTX770 2gb/ ssd 120gb intel 530/ wd black 1 tb/ DVD burner Asus
thanks if you can help.

could be memory issue look the sticky topic: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=178019.0
else try latest version .A53: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=177198.msg1298226#msg1298226

Z87-g43 Ethernet problems

Hello there!
I recently bought new MB - MSI Z87-g43
Everything was working fine for a while, but then for no apparent reason, I started the PC up and I get the problem with my ethernet connection - It shows that the "cable is unplugged" all the time, of course it's working just fine on another computer and even on the same computer with an external ethernet card on PCI. It shows up in device manager - "device is working properly". It seems that the card is just dead after a standard shutdown, because the LED's on the card doesn't even light up for a moment. I'm really frustrated, because there seems to be nothing I can do to get it back to work.
Some people suggest that this might be because of power management or speed & duplex options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I found this forum and post while I was searching for solutions. I have the same exact problem with the same Mainboard. Although I bought my Z87-G43 yesterday and the Realtek LAN Adapter doesnt recognize the Ethernet-Cable sincethe very beginning.
But in the device manager its shown as active and everything. I know this post is old but did you find a solution?
I dont really want to take the MB out again and sent it back to buy another one if there would be another way to solve this. Maybe somebody else also might know an answer too.

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.

MSI Z87-GD65 and Z87-G43 problem on first reboot

Hi,
I have got the 2 motherboard in the subject and I have the same issue on both!
Basically I switch on the PC and after the logo of the mainboard my PC just automatically switch off with a small bep, then when I try to switch on again, everything works normally as it should be.
I have some doubt that can be related to the ram, but... it is strange that for 2 months was ok and now start to do it on the second motherboard as well.
My main config is :
Z87-G43 bios 10.4
i5 4670k
ram cmx12gx3m3a2000C9 but I have installed just 2 dimm so I have 8GB into the slot dimm 2 an 4
VGA MSI 770 gtx
PSU corsair 600cx
no overclock but just the XMP profile activated.
On the other config
Please could you help me?
Thanks

Since it's happening on two separate boards and during bios boot I don't believe it's driver related nor board/s related. I have the Z87M-G43 with no issues, so that leads me to believe it's either your PSU, or ram, or possibly an errant install in your case (eg. missing a motherboard standoff). Try another PSU see what happens, Also try different ram. In theory your PSU should be ok with your 770 GPU but it might not it could be a slightly defective unit with an out of spec +12v rail. The only way you are going to find out the issue is by testing components. You can find out if your GPU is ok by trying it in another machine. Ram too. Power supply as well. If you have a decent runnable PSU laying around I would set your rig to the lightest possible config using your Intel integrated GPU (no GTX card) just to see if you can get a decent boot.

Z87-G43 gaming HDMI/DVI ports not working

Board: MSI Z87-G43 gaming edition
Bios: American Megatrends Inc. V10.3, 03/12/2013
VGA: AMD Radeon HD 7970/Samsung SyncMaster P2770
PSU: Corsair CS750M
Intel Core i5-4670K
MEM: 8gb
HDD: Plextor 240gb SSD
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
Can't figure why they don't work...I checked my CPU and it's supposed to support integrated GPU. HDMI and DVI work on my videocard so I know it's not a monitor issue. I believe my motherboard chipset drivers are up to date. Any ideas?

you could try to set it to IGD in your BIOS to get the Integrated only working (find a option in your BIOS that is set to PEG and change it to IGD and see how it goes)
NOTE: if you find that settings see if it has a both option!

Z87-G43 can't reboot - how to update BIOS?

Hey all, today I built a new PC with an MSI Z87-G43 mainboard and an i5-4690 CPU.
I have the problem that the PC can't reboot or reset, instead the PC just keeps running and doing nothing whatsoever.
This seems to be a known issue and the solution is to update BIOS + ME firmware.
For an explanation on how to do that everyone keeps linking to this topic. But to be honest, I don't understand what I have to do now :( (Also, I have never done a BIOS update in my life, and I am kinda scared of the warnings that it can brick the system...)
Could someone tell me which files exactly I have to use for this specific mainboard?

Quote from: Chike on 17-May-15, 17:02:57
Check the serial number for manufacturing date, it look like this:
S/N: xxx-xxxx-xxxxYYMMxxxxxx
i5-4690 requires BIOS 1.7 dated 2014-02-26 and the i5-4690K BIOS 1.8 dated 2014-05-29
If the board date is later than the required BIOS release it is likely that you have it already.
That part of the serial number is 1402, so slightly too early I guess? In the BIOS setup it says V1.6 as well, screenshot:

How exactly, does it keep rebooting or does it just stay on?
It just stays on, I get a black screen and the fans are running. I need to press the power button for a few seconds so it turns off, then I can turn it on again.
This happens whenever the PC should reboot: When I select "reboot" in Windows, it shuts down and then black screen. Whenever I press the reset button, I just get the black screen. Also e.g. after exiting the BIOS. The problem existed already before I installed Windows, so wrong settings there can hardly be the reason.
Everything happens exactly as described in the topic I linked.

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 Slow Boot after adding GPU - Need Help

MSI Z87-G43 bios v 1.0
i5-4670K not overclocked
stock heatsink
Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3P1K2/8G 8G total
PSU Seasonic SSR-450RM G-450W Gold 37a +12v
HD WD Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6 Gb/s
Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD Burner
Case Antec 300 Illusion
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Just added GPU Asus GTX650TIB-DC2OC-2GD5
I ran the system for 3 months with the onboard graphics. Never had a single problem.
Started playing my old flight sim game and had turn off/down many features to get the graphics to work and not freeze up at times, so bought a graphics card.
Had problems getting the new GPU to work. Had to preload drivers to get it to come on. Graphics would go off on some apps and had to reboot.
After a few days it has settled down and seems to work.
The problem is that the screen does not turn on until it gets to the windows welcome screen so I can't get to the bios screen.
It looks like there is a video preference setting in the bios but how can I get there.
I added all the utilities hoping to get the GOTOBIOS feature but when I go to MSI Fast Boot it just says its already running and so there is no tab to turn it on.
What can I do?
Also had to remove the Network Genie as it slow the internet to crawl and had to remove the utility that controls fans and clock speed as it used 30% of the cpu all the time but I guess that's a new topic.
Sorry this is so long but as you can probably tell this my first time on the forum.
mcbob

I tried to do this but F8 didn't work to get to safe mode. It just locked up the start. Checked on line and saw that I could change config file to make it go to safe mode but saw the horror stories of people getting in a loop and having to reload their whole computer so didn't' try that.
I went back to the onboard graphics and was able to see the bios prompt at start up. Changed the integrated graphics configuration-initiate graphic adapter in bios to PEG for primary boot device. After save and exit the monitor wouldn't come on all. Shut down and switched the monitor cable back to the new GPU card. On start up the monitor started immediately saw the bois prompt and all is working like it should. The complete boot time is now much quicker, like it used to be. Time to start on my other problems.
thanks mcbob

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

Z87-G43 Bios crashing, not showing information

I just built a new system using the Z87-G43. Everything was fine, I just installed a pci-e esata card using the Silicon Image SI3132 SATALink Controller.
My computer will not boot unless I have my external bay on and a drive installed. If I don't have the bay turned on and a drive installed, I get the A2 error.
I had previous esata cards and never had this issue.
Also, now when I enter Bios setup, virtually no information is displayed. I see only Advanced and Password as options in the main screen. If I click where the other options are, Bios freezes.
I'm pretty sure this didn't happen until I put the new esata card in.
Can anybody help me figure out what is going on?
Should I be concerned my Bios is going to fail or become corrupt?
I can't be sure but I was able to read this number at the top of the Bios page, E7816IMS V1.6
I would like to make sure I have the latest Bios but am weary of using Live Update due to all the horror stories.
If anybody has any insight as to what is going on, I really would appreciate some help.
Thank you!

Update;
My BIOS update to v1.7 seemed to go ok, haven't noticed any problems. I also updated the Intel ME drivers, that went fine as well.
Weird, even when my bios (v1.6) was corrupt, my system would boot without issue (not sure if the A2 error was due to bios or a piece of my hardware).
Anyways, I had a pci-e esata card PEXESAT3221, couldn't get it to show the drives inside my 4 bay esata enclosure. It was just like they weren't attached or the enclosure was not powered on. After much frustration, I moved on to a different card.
Card two, SD-SA2PEX-2E, This card would only see one drive in my enclosure (when I had more than one installed) in My Computer. I could 'see' the drives in the bottom pane of Disk Management, then could right click on the drive and select 'change drive letter and path' and that drive would show up in My Computer and was available. I had to do this for every drive. If I moved a drive or swapped drives, I would have to go through the process again. If I rebooted, I would again have to go through the process to be able to 'see' more than one drive. I was working with the manufacturer of the card and they kept telling me to install the latest drivers, which I did but the latest drivers were only compatible with card bios v 7.7.02 (my card was 7.7.03). Their website stated that bios and driver versions needed to be matched. For some reason, I could never get them to understand that the driver for bios 7.7.02 was not working as my card had bios 7.7.03. So, out of frustration, I nixed the card and went back to the first card.
Now, same thing as before, this card just would not show any drives. I checked the installation of the driver and it showed the latest, v 1.3.8.0 Asmedia 106x. I did some research and discovered that some people were discussing drivers for this device they found on a foreign website, not affiliated with the card vendor. I took a chance and downloaded those drivers, v 2.0.8.0 and what do you know? Everything works fine now, so far (still have to do some testing before I'm absolutely convinced)...
Feels good to see my drives show up when I power on my enclosure, or swap drives etc...
Not sure why a motherboard bios update would change the behavior of a pci-e card like this but I feel fortunate to have struggled through. I appreciate all the help and advice, thanks fellas.

These i7 4770K Temperatures And Voltage Values Are Normal With Z87-G43?

Hello everyone,
I recently upgraded my good old Core2Duo rig and bought a new cpu-motherboard-ram trio. My new specs is as follows:
- i7 4770K @ stock speed + Coolermaster 212Evo cpu cooler
- MSI z87 g43 motherboard
- 2x4 GB G-Skill Ripjaws X 1866Mhz
- Case: Corsair Carbide 400R
The problem is I wasn't aware of that new Haswell cpus are running slightly hotter and now I'm little bit worried about my temperatures. Since I was also planning to overclock my cpu a bit and trying to find a point that doesn't need a vast voltage increase, I'm losing my sleeps over this situation at the moment.
Anyways. I'm using softwares like HWmonitor, Coretemp, Realtemp and Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Turbo Boost is also active. So the cpu is going up until 3.9 GHz. Other than that I'm on stock speeds, and motherboard's default values. Here are my temperatures:
Ambient room temp: Varies between 23-25 °C
Idle: 28-30 °C
While playing demanding games like Battlefield 4: Max 58-65°C
With Intel Extreme Tuning's stress test for 15 mins: max 65-70 °C
With Prime 95 Blend and OCCT burn tests for 15 mins: max 78-82 °C
I also run realtemp's sensor test and the values are identical since it's using Prime95 too.
I also noticed that Prime 95 and OCCT is increasing my cpu voltage value from 1.156 to 1.21 while Intel Extreme Tuning's stress test and BurnInTest is using 1.156v. All these test are using %100 of the cores. Couldn't understand why there's a voltage increase on certain tests which leads my temps go even higher and higher. Will I encounter these kinds of random voltage increases during normal tasks? Like playing games, rendering some stuff etc..?
On the other hand I tried motherboard's OC Genie future to see what happens. It overclocked the cpu automatically to 4.0 GHz @1.10v. With this setting I've seen max of 70 °C for a second and mostly 65-68°C under OCCT stress test. And also my voltage didn't increase at all and sit at 1.10. I'm a bit confused about these values. Since with default settings I'm getting hotter values and my voltage is going up to 1.21 with Turbo Boost under Prime95/OCCT burn tests. I also found out that my BIOS is v1.0. I don't really have a performance or a stability issue for now except this voltage thing. Does a BIOS update help on that situation? I don't really like to touch something already working OK and end up with a dead board.
Also I'm wondering if my temperature values are normal with the cpu cooler i have (Coolermaster 212evo)?
I also could buy some extra fans for my case (1 exhaust to top & 1 intake to side) and maybe a second fan for the cpu cooler if you guys think that these would help a bit.
Sorry for my English by the way. I'm not a native speaker.
Thanks for all your comments and suggestions already.

Thanks for the reply Nichrome,
I will follow your suggestions for the fans. Currently I don't have any fans on top. But I'm considering to buy some fans to top and side. So you get better results with top fans being exhaust right?
Also which fan are you using as the second fan for the cpu heatsink? I would buy one of these as well since we have the same heatsink.
I'm also using the default/auto voltages and settings at the moment. Just Turbo Boost is enabled and when it kicks in voltage is going up to 1.156. Which seems normal and doesnt produce dangerous level of heat. The thing is if I start running Prime95&OCCT the voltages going up to 1.21+ level at the same turbo boost speed (which is 3.9 GHz). And that produces a lot more heat than usual. But if I use BurnInTest or Intel Extreme Tuning Utility stress test the voltages sit at 1.156 and under full load on all cores. I'm wondering what's the reason of this difference and if it is software or motherboard related. Even with using the OC Genie @ 4.1 GHz temperatures and voltages seem lower than the stock&auto settings (idle 35-38 / stress test with OCCT 70C max, gaming 60-65C max). I'm not sure if a BIOS update would fix this. Since the whole BIOS flashing process is creeping me out. I don't like to bother with something that is already working OK. Don't want to end up with a dead board in the end :P Maybe I'm becoming a bit paranoid though, since this is a really hard earned upgrade after 6 years. :P

Z87-G43 won't boot from Windows 8.1 64-bit DVD UEFI

Hello,
I recently purchased a Z87-G43. I have just updated it to the 1.7 firmware (I was having no end of strange issues with the 1.6 firmware that came on the board, the BIOS menu items would disappear, but that seems to have been resolved with the update to 1.7).
Regardless, I am unable to boot from a 64-bit Windows 8.1 DVD in UEFI mode. The disc will boot fine in UEFI+Legacy mode, but I would like to use only UEFI mode if possible.
I have verified that the system will boot from a UEFI CD by using the GParted live CD.
Is this a known issue with this mainboard?
Board: Z87-G43
Bios: 1.7

Set the board to Legacy & UEFI
It should work then. If you are trying to do a UEFI installation, with SOME Optical devices it wont work. I usualy transfer all of the install files to USB stick along with the most recent drivers. The install is faster and drivers are already there for you.
