Z87-G45 BIOS Splash screen stays during windows startup animation

Hello all,
this is my first post on these forums and I haven't found any similar problems like mine so here it is:
when I power on the PC the normal BIOS splash screen comes up,
then it disappears and normally the windows (I'm running windows 8 Pro x64) startup animation should come up,
but with me the BIOS splash screen just returns and the windows startup circle just comes ontop of it,
like the normal startup animation but instead of a black background I have the BIOS splash screenas background and the windows logo itself also doesn't show,
just the loading circle...
My PC starts up pretty fast so its not that big of a deal but I just wondered if there was a fix
BTW I'm running on a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming with the latest BIOS version (1.3) and windows boots of an SSD

seems to be the normal way of booting. I've also just installed Win8 Pro in UEFI-Mode (not Legacy-UEFI!), and what I've heard from a friend that uses an ASUS board, is that this behavior indicates you are indeed booting in UEFI-Mode -> so no worries!

Z87 G45 bios splash reboot cycle

I built my machine 16 months ago. i was told MSI all the way when building if can as great quality components.
I got an i7 4770k, 8gb ram, msi lightning 780, msi z87 g45 gaming board.
Never once overclocked a single thing, didnt need to as it stood strong against the games I play.
I was playing elder scrolls few days ago when all of sudden a got a reboot of the machine, the 780 fans went crazy full, the lightning logo showing green as normal but it wouldn't load past bios screen. I could enter bios no problem. But nothing seemed to get past bios splash. I tried the 780 in a second machine, same issue but now no video at all, fans on full, logo lit up green, moniter wont even see its connected to anything.
I tried loading from onboard video on my machine without 780 connected. Same thing, cant get past bios splash just reboots self. I have tried flashing bios to 1.9, tried reinstalling windows, it finishes windows installation reboots and bios cycle again.
Took to a pc repair they don't know whats wrong they checked psu, memory tested for 17 hours, totally stumped.
This rig has never been overclocked once ok, never overheated as always made sure was cool and clean inside case.
Needless to say I am extremely unhappy and disappointed with MSI. I have made several machines over the years and never once seen this, I bought the card for £380 and the motherboard £130. I expected it to last longer than the cheaper machines I built. Not both MSI components crashing out in 16 months.
Does anyone know anything else I can try to salvage any of this?

I don't have a second cpu to try.
The thing is in the bios it shows the cpu, the ram, hard drive etc ok. I can even install windows from disk, but at end windows does a reboot then I get stuck at bios splash cycle. When I took the pc to repair store they advised did the memtest and other things, they managed to get a windows installed after several bsod and clearing cmos as last effort and then they managed to get windows going but they were quite honest and said they don't really know if fluke or not. They tested all they could and believe it a software issue possibly with board, now issue is back again.
My PSU is 850W, they tested it and said its fine and no issues with it.

Boot issues with x79a-gd45 (8d) and n680gtx 4gd5/0c no bios splash screen

I have system
with
x79a-gd45 (8d) and
n680gtx 4gd5/0c
16gb ram out of 4 modules
vertex3 ssd
win7 64 en updated everything to the latest version.
during boot i get b2 b4 and 92 messages but not bios splash screen.
When doing a test with an old ati card the system shows splah screen all is fine.
I have 4 systems like this all behaving the same
any ideas

Hello I updated the bios, was not neccesarry but problems remains.
cleared the cmos several times.
I have to inform you that i'm building 4 similar systems all suffering from the same problem.
During boot there is a black boot screen not splash screen. and on the top left a cursor and in the bottom right b2 b4 and 92 messages.
When I install and old ati x1050pro all is ok during boot I see the splash screen and i'm able to enter the bios.
boot time approx 20 sec.
when running the system with the msi n680gtx boot times are back to 2 min and a long period with only the black boot screen and the bios codes.
As suggested I tested the card in a other system. Motherboard is asus. And voila I get a splash screen.
STRANGE THING IS THAT THIS SCREEN IS NOT RESISED BUT IS I GUESS 800 X 600 AND CENTERED IN THE SCREEN.
Also after several reboots I could not get a screen filled splash screen.
Can this be a video card bios issue ?

Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not boot - hangs at BIOS splash screen

My Satellite pro L300-1FN is refusing to boot up. When switched on the laptop displays the toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS splash screen and the "Press F2 go to Setup Utility, F12 go to boot menu" message and flashes the hard disk access light but does not attempt to continue loading. I have left the bios at the splash screen but it does nothing for many hours on AC or runs the battery flat while on battery.
Is there a way of re-setting the BIOS on this unit? If it were a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a BIOS reset but this is impossible on a laptop. The hard disk is fine as I have connected it to another system to remove valuable data.

*I managed to fix this issue* ,,, thanks to some other dudes on other forums
What i did was Format a Floppy disk as MS-DOS boot using a Windows XP PC and USB floppy drive, then downloaded the latest BIOS for my L300-1BW laptop model, copied *.fd bios image to the floppy disk and renamed it to BIOS.fd.
Connect FDD to the toshiba laptop with out AC connected. Held Power button for 12 seconds, connected AC adapter, then held Fn+F, powered on , and kept the Fn+F keys held down for about 10 seconds into the reading of the floppy drive just to be sure, then let go. The screen was black throughout the process. I left this for a few minutes, or until it had finished, the laptop rebooted itself, and voila, it now goes passed the TOSHIBA POST logo screen :)
I hope this helps others with Toshiba Laptops. should work for any Toshiba laptop.

Tecra M3 - Stuck at Toshiba BIOS Splash Screen

Not sure what to do here with this one...
Bit of history... we bought my niece a used laptop for surfing/movies which worked fine when I had it a few weeks setting it up and such, she had it a week and it's now dead. Some days it works, some days won't even turn on. So, after much work determined it to be a motherboard issue, and since it was a $200 DELL, we optedto buy another laptop.
I grabbed a used Tecra M3, been playing with it all week, games, surfing, you name it, seemed a gtood solid performer. I give it to her, she goes upstairs, plugs it in, powers on and just sits at the splash screen.
Two nephews have no issues with theirs, wondering if possible the power outlet surging and killing the systems? She's 16, so (hopefully) knows how to handle a laptop carefully.
Regardless... can't afford another dead laptop. Stuck at startup BIOS splash screen, won't go beyond that. Won't let me into the BIOS, and if I hit too many keeps too many times, laptop just beeps per keystroke.
Any advice?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Well, not much of a support forum... 2nd posting and neither issue I had had any responses at all.
In case someone see's this because having the same issue, the hard drive was very loose, barely making contact and fell off when I touched it. Pushed it all the way back in and works fine. Pegs on the panel designed to prevent the drive from becomming lose, not very good, still allowed the drive enough wiggle room to shake loose.

Change BIOS Splash Screen?

Is there a way to change the bios splash screen on the newer thinkpads?
I found a guide for the older ones but i'm not sure if it works for the newer ones (particularly the W520 for me): http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_change_the_BIOS_bootsplash_screen
Thanks!

I looked at my T430s and it is as you describe, but I don't know of anyone who has done this since the UEFI BIOS was introduced, I haven't dealt with custom flash images since the T60. If it doesn't work, I would be afraid that the instructions might be outdated and just might not work.

T530 change BIOS splash screen

I tried to change the BIOS splash screen with the guide in the FLASH folder but I only get a black screen.
I've tried a jpg file less then 30kb with 640x480 but this didn't work.
Does anyone have any suggestions or got it to work?
I would appreciate any help!

Bios splash screen

Hi.
Is there a way to restore the original HP bios splash screen? My company is decommissioning some 8510p's and nc 8430's with our custom Logo and we wuld like to reset all devices to default HP logo. Is there a way?
Thanks
Mark

If you want to remove the branded splash screen associated with your BIOS, you need to obtain the firmware update for your current BIOS and then edit the logo file that’s part of the BIOS fileset before applying the update.
Assuming your PC manufacturer has you create a floppy designed to flash the PC bios, you can fairly easily make a change to the logo displayed. Follow the directions to create the BIOS boot disk, simply replace the included logo.bmp file in the BIOS update package with a logo.bmp file created by you. The key here is to use a 16 color (NOT 16-bit color) 640×480 BMP file. Then copy yourlogo.bmp file onto the disk used for your BIOS update and then run the bundled logo.bat file by double-clicking it. This converts the logo.bmp to a format ready for the BIOS update.
It’s vital to keep all the files in the BIOS update named exactly as they were or your computer may not work after the update. Any changes made to BIOS update files should be done at your own risk and with extreme care.
I think in your case a flash back to standard HP BIOS should restore the standard splash screen as long as the BIOS files you use have the standard .bmp file included.

Neo4 bios splash screen freeze

I have a rather strange problem with my MSI neo4 based system. I have allways had the occasional lockup at boot, where the computer would just freeze and become unresponsive at the bios splash screen. Now, this freezeup has become constant, and I can not boot the system at all. According to the diagnostic bracket, it is freezing at the point where it should be displaying the logo and bios info, one step before running the memory check. It just freezes at the splash screen. Help?

Pepe Jose,
Definitivamente tu PS ya no figura entre las posibles causas.
a) Qué dispositivos USB tienes conectados a tu PC?
b) Si utilizas el teclado sin el conversor de USB a PS/2 pasa lo mismo?
c) Se que suena tonto, pero has probado con otro tecaldo y otro raton?
Verifica también su tu Tarjeta de Video (VGA) está bien asentada/conectada; por ahí vi que,
en ocasiones cuando se queda en "Processor Initialization" puede deberse a que la tarjeta de
vídeo no está bien asentada en su ranura, o en el peor de los casos que puede ser que la
tarjeta tenga algun problema o daño, por favor verificalo también.
1. Si tienes una tarjeta extra o algún amigo que te preste una, prueba a ver que pasa.
2. También, si no lo has hecho aún, actualiza el BIOS de tu board con la versión mas reciente (creo que es 1.A)
3. Pásale el Memtest86+ a cada barra de RAM que tengas, individualmente.
Si se vuelve a repetir:
Pídele a tu distribuidor/vendedor que pruebe en tu board:
a) Otro CPU igual (mantén el tuyo en tu mano, o no lo pierdas de vista)
b) Otra RAM igual (igual regla)
c) Otra tarjeta de vídeo. (igual regla)
Si se repite: (No con animos de molestarte o sembrar malicia)
Pidele a tu distribuidor/vendedor que te cambien el board. Si acceden: Busca el número de serie, apúntalo y mantenlo
contigo. No dejes que el distribuidor o vendedor se entere de que tomaste el número de serie.
El mismo debe ser similar a: "K0501234567" y aparece en una etiqueta con código de barras en el reverso del board.
Cuando te den uno nuevo, verifica detalladamente que el numero de serie del board anterior y el "nuevo" sean diferentes.
Si son iguales, rechazalo y exige que te hagan el cambio hasta que estés conforme.
Te digo esto porque algunos distribuidores/vendedores de productos de IT, no son del todo honestos y no hacen el cambio.
Muchas veces prefieren decir que el producto fue reparado o bien no dicen nada y no cambian el producto.
Eso lo he visto anteriormente y explica por qué si el producto fué cambiado, presenta el mismo problema.
Esta misma regla aplica a la memoria RAM, CPU y Tarjeta de Vídeo, en caso tal de que no sea el board y sea alguno de estos
componentes.
Bueno, por ahora es lo que te puedo sugerir. Me avisas que tal te vá.
Saludos,
bueno decirte que es mi segunda MSI NEO4 (cada una de una tienda diferente.....) lo primero que hice fue cambiar la placa (pensaba que estaba mal) pero nada, el problema sigue, depues cambie la fuente.......yo creia que o era la fuente o la placa, pero nada.
el teclado es un ACER mecanico (no es de membrana) de unos 3 o 4 años........(lo tengo conectado por PS2)
el raton es USB y lo tengo con un adaptador de USB a PS2
la grafica esta OK y las memos y el micro tb, pq si no no seria estable el equipo, cuando va perfectamente....3 o 4 horass seguidas jugando y todo OK, sin reinicios ni cuelgues ni cosas raras.
viendo esto....solo hay 2 posibilidades.......o es de algun USB (ahora los desconecte todos) o es del teclado/raton o si no......no tengo ni la mas minima idea.....

MSI Z87-G45 BIOS

So today I decided to check how my MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Socket-1150 BIOS looked like so i pressed the enter BIOS option on the GO2BIOS utility app, my PC restarted and the screen stayed black for 10 minutes.... So I booted back to windows and disabled fast boot and tried to enter BIOS manually that didnt work either. So my problem is that my BIOS won't show at all. The PC is functional and there are no problems with it, can still boot into windows and go on about my day. But i would love to be able to enter BIOS.....

Oh great you found the solution Thanks for an update

MSI Z87-G45 BIOS Temps

I am having an issue with the BIOS displaying 99 degrees Celsius in the BIOS menu. It ramps up rather quick loading into the BIOS from around 50 degrees to 99 which it stays at. Touching the heatsink itself it feels cool to the touch which leads me to believe its not displaying the temps right. Also in windows my idle temps are around 45-55 but under load they can go up to the high 90's.
I am using a MSI Z87-G45 board with a 4670k Haswell which I know run a lot hotter and seems to cap at 100 degrees with just the stock cooler... well until my new cooler ships.
If I were to guess I would say it seems the BIOS is putting some load on the CPU, which would be fine just seems odd. Any insight anyone had on this situation would be great as the little research I have done I have never seen anyone open up the BIOS to temps any higher then 55 degrees on YouTube.
Thanks guys

I just checked that literally after posting that thread. I was certain that it was seated well as I've been playing all types of games on it with no issues but thought I would reapply some paste... only to see that it didn't even make contact. Makes me remember why I'm not a huge fan of the stock Intel cooler hold downs. Now I'm bordering on embarrassed and amazed that the CPU didn't start frying or at least restarting.
Thanks for the help none the less.

Z87-G45 BIOS update

Hello.
I recently used the MSI Live update tool to upgrade the bios from 1.50 to 1.60. When i booted it up, occasionally i get the "No boot media inserted" black screen. If i press the reset button a few times it will boot up as normal. I then used a USB stick to flash the bios back to 1.50 but it seems to still be happening occasionally. Could this be an issue with the BIOS, or is it my SSD on the fritz?

Hi and
After BIOS update you should Clear CMOS and set The BIOS rigth (for your setup), Including Boot order.
That way you know it should work rigth. If it still forgets your Boot order then Check your MB battery.
Edit: if Battery and boot order is, ok. And you have Windows. Then do "startup repair" with Windows install media. Sorry dont know the rigth word for that tool, but its close to that.
Hope this helps. Cheers Mummy

Z87-G45 BIOS 1.2 Disables Intel Turbo Boost?

I just installed a new Z87-G45 with an i7-4770k. I installed BIOS 1.2 after getting the system running.
I wanted to test that the Intel Turbo Boost was working, so I went to download Intel's Turbo Monitor, but they helpfully let you know it isn't compatible with 4th generation I-series processors. So I downloaded the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility, hoping it would show the CPU frequency live. It shows the CPU frequency at a constant 3.50Ghz, although I don't know if that means Turbo isn't working or the utility just doesn't do realtime frequency monitoring (but then why does it graph it?) The option to enable or disable Turbo Boost is grayed out in the ETU.
I went into OC in the BIOS to find the Turbo setting and make sure it was turned on... and found out there was no Turbo setting. Intel Turbo is not located where it is described in the user guide for this mobo. So I dug around the OC menu until I found OC->CPU Specifications->CPU Technology Support; that screen shows Intel Turbo Boost: N/A
I feel like there is something very wrong here. Anyone know what's going on?

Froggy: Yes, brought it over from a Gigabyte board with an i7-860 (I do a lot of video editing and moving from the 860 to the 4770k cut down the time it takes to render an effects heavy video by more than half! Getting turbo working shaved another few minutes off of the render time. For the video I used as a benchmark, the render time is down from 60 minutes to 24 minutes ) Honestly I don't remember if the Gigabyte board had AHCI enabled or not, but since Windows won't boot with it on now I'm guessing it wasn't on before.
Bernhard: There is a very simple registry change you can make in Windows 7 to enable AHCI: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922976?wa=wsignin1.0 I tried the Fix-It tool and manually verified the registry change, but it still isn't booting.
More specifically, the system hangs at the Windows logo. This also happens when trying to boot into safe mode. It always stops after loading the same file, which I looked up and found was an Avast file, but I tried uninstalling Avast and it just hangs after a different file. I installed the Intel chipset drivers that came with the motherboard (which appear to be the latest ones) but don't see any AHCI driver listed under device manager. There is an Intel Rapid Storage Technology download on the MSI page for this motherboard (http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z87-G45-GAMING.html) but it is for 7-series boards and won't install on my system (I'm not sure the RST driver is even what I need, as it seems more targeted towards RAID, but it came up searching AHCI). The latest RST driver from Intel's download page won't install either ("Platform not supported").
I can't find any other AHCI drivers on the MSI CD. I'm not sure whether they would even show up in the device manager while the mobo is in IDE mode, or only in AHCI mode. If you guys happen to know anything else I should install I'd appreciate it.
