Default MSI Z87-G45 Lan/Usb Help needed.

Hello,
So yesterday i massively upgraded my pc with the following components:
MSI Z87-G45
Intel Core i5-4670K
GeForce GTX 780 3GB (Classified)
and kept my old Ram (Gskill ripjaw ddr3 3x4gb) ,Hd's PSU. and i am using windows 8.1
The main problems i am having are as follows:
1. I am unable to get the usb ports to recognize most things i plug in. This included a USB flash drive and a wireless network stick.
2. I am unable to install any Lan items from the mobo factory disc. The option to install the LAN drivers are greyed out on the disc menu, and when i search for them they will not install. Now i've found them online and downloaded them to a Usb Drive, but i can't use that because the USB drive won't be recognized by windows.
Any help on these issues would be so greatly appreciated, i am getting terribly frustrated and don't know what to do.
I have checked the Bios and it appears to be current, i have also reset the Mobo battery at the request of MSI.

have you done a new fresh OS installation after mainboard change?

Z87-G45 - my USB audio device doesn't up after booting. Need to USB cable unplug

I have new Z87-G45 with clear Windows 7, newest drivers and last bios but still have the same problem. I have Roland Quad-Capture USB audio interface but it doesn't up with Windows. USB LED on the device is not lit anytime from when I push power button till the system is up. The only way is to unplug the USB cable and plug it again. It is very irritable. Please help me to resolve this problem.

Below is the quote from Amazon website hope that it somehow helps, you could find it in the amazon feedback from other user:
I called Roland tech support who were very friendly and concerned. But what it boiled down to was that the Roland drivers do not interact very well with certain computers. Tech support did not know why. They just kept telling me to update my usb drivers, even though when I ran updates my drivers came up as the most current available. Now, I have an eMachines, Windows 7, 64 bit PC with 8 meg ram, and I know eMachines are not high end. But the computer is less than 2 years old, and seems to run fast and I have liked it. When I told tech support that my drivers came up current, he recommended that I contact the manufacturer. I don't know if you have ever tried to get tech support on a computer that is more than a year old. It's a joke, no one will help you unless you pay them almost enough to buy a new computer.
After more research, I found that many people had the same problem that I had. If they booted up their computer with the interface plugged in, they would run into all kinds of issues. The workaround is to always make sure your unit is unplugged before you boot up.

Z87-G45 Gaming not able to install Win7 x64 with Samsung 840 EVO

I have a brand new:
i5 4570
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
250GB Samsung 840 EVO
1x 8GB Corsair ValueRam DDR3 1600
I got everything hooked up properly, but I am not able to install Win7 x64 through an USB pen drive (Kingston Datatravel 32GB USB3) I have a proper official and Legit MSDN ISO, formatted by the Win7 USB tool from MS itself.
Note that i do not have an optical device (DVD) installed so I cannot use it 'the old way'.
Bios settings are okay, everything is recognized
USB Legacy - Kingston Datatraveler
HDD Legacy - Samsung 840 EVO
Win7 setup loads properly; but before I can select the Harddrive / SSD to install Win7 on I get prompted that additional (3rd party) drivers are needed to proceed. The volume is not recognized. This happens 9 out of 10 times. In the 10% cases I do get the option to format the SSD and/or create partitions. However, installation fails after all, cannot load or find file ...
What I've tried so far:
Switch out the SATA cables and power cables
Switch through the various SATA ports on the MB 1 through 6
Tried UEFI and UEFI/Legacy (UEFI doesn't seem to work at all)
Update UEFI to V 1.50
All the above result in the case mentioned.
I have succesfully installed the SSD in an other PC, using the same pen drive and ISO and it worked like a charme, thus ruling out that the SSD, pen drive or image is corrupt.
Even when I switched out the SSD after Win7 setup has succesfully copied, unpacked and installed all the files (doing this on the other machine where it works like a charm). Then switching it to the MSI Z87...it fails; starting the setup procedure right from the start, like nothing was ever written on the SSD...
Finally i turned to Win8, and guess what, it installed without any glitches on the MSI Z87
What am I missing here, I would really want to install Win7 instead of Win8
Forgot to enable / disable something in the UEFI? I really don't know, google doesn't give much information on this specific problem (SSD is recognized properly by the BIOS / UEFI as far as I can tell)
The only thing I have not tried out so far is updating the Samsung SSD firmware to the 1.0 version which has been release 3 days ago...
Any clues, tips, hunches??

Quote from: Bernhard on 25-October-13, 18:33:41
Did you disable Secure Boot in the BIOS? If not, then Win7 won't load.
Hmmm not sure, thanks for the reply, will have to look into that later today!
I didn't change it from the default setting I think, unless it is part of the Win8 features in the UEFI. All where disabled by default, and I kept them disabled.
Where is Secure Boot listed in the UEFI, and any idea wether it is enabled by default?
::EDIT::
Found it in some screenshots, I cannot recall from the top of my head wether it was enabled or disabled, allthough my gutt feeling says it already is disabled.

MSI z87 g45 Boot up issues

So I built a computer for my sister and her husband and it has been having some boot up issues,Here are the computer parts:
wiindows 7 64bit
MSI Z87 G45 Gaming motherboard
INTEL CORE I-7 4770K 3.5GHZ
RADEON HD 5700 GPU
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
kINGSTON 64 GB SSD ( spare part, not sure the numbers)
Sunbeam PSU-H680-REV-US 680W ATX 12V 2.0 Power Supply - OEM
Seagate Barracuda ST2000DM001 2TB 7200 RPM
ASUS Black 12X BD-ROM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA Internal Blu-ray Drive Model BC-12B1ST/BLK/B/AS
I've cleared both the HDD and SSD and now I'm looking to check the msi z87 g45 mobo, The computer starts up and sits on a2 for a while and then sometimes it fails to detect the SSD and says a0 and then I have to go back into the bios after I reset the computer again and maybe it detected the SSD and I can set it to boot from that again because it constantly changes the boot order, and sometimes it gives a blue screen when nearly into windows and then restarts, I had transferred some data from their old computer to this one and the data had virus's in it and I didnt know so I eventually found out and a day later and got rid of them all and the computer started behaving better but not fixed, faster mainly, I don't know if the virus may have altered some files so, I have a few more things to try, any help would be appreciated.
(Something I forgot to mention is that when I unplugg the HDD all the issues go away, the computer seems to work fine, But there are no issues with the hdd, ive tested it with seatools and I plugged it into my computer and restarted mant times as well as used my computer for a while and nothing, the HDD is fine, the start up on their computer sits on a2 for a long time when it isnt going to work and it only happens with the 2tb seagate HDD plugged in)

which storage drive holds the boot files the SSD or the HDD? the ATA mode of the BIOS needs to remain in the same mode it was when Windows was deployed to the storage drive. next the only way a BIOS settings will change with out user input is if the Li cell battery is going dead/the BIOS is getting reset frequently. sounds like you're about at square one, I'd format the Seagate 2TB HDD, install windows onto that either in RAID or AHCI mode whichever your preference, you can use the 64GB SSD as caching later if you use RAID mode, if AHCI the 64GB could be spare. I don't understand the SSD as boot drive method, it doesn't make sense the solid state storage is volatile meaning it degrades over time, the HDD isn't and the performance gain isn't going to change the way you use your PC. AHCI has it's advantages it's up to you. Following those steps is the only way you're going to keep the computer booting on a regular basis. You shouldn't need to manually configure which storage drive to initialize/boot from first, the BIOS automatically goes through your devices to find boot files then boots from the first one with boot files, it won't even try to boot from a device without boot files, because it can't. Just to reiterate the BSOD you speak of sounds similar to the ATA mode changing to something other than what it was when Windows was deployed to the device.

Z87-G45 all USB ports stop working until I reboot

Hello everybody, This is my first post on these forums due to this problem, and I hope some people can help me out.
In February, I purchased myself a Z87-G45 motherboard along with all the other components needed to build a gaming PC, the build went brilliantly considering it was my first time!
About 3 months into my new build I started having problems with my PC, especially my USBs directly connected to the motherboard and the ones at the front of my PC as well, I have a back lit
keyboard and mouse and the lights started flickering erratically like it was being connected and disconnected extremely quickly, then after about 10 seconds of it doing that, they both stop working.
The lights on my mouse completely go out as if it had being disconnected but the keyboards lights are still on, but none of the keys work.
Sometimes I can do a 6 hour gaming session with my mouse or keyboard not playing up at all, but other times it happens within 5 minutes of booting up my PC!
My PSU failed at one point, and when I used a lower power PSU until my replacement came, none of these issues occurred.
I really want to get to the bottom of this because I cannot game while my peripherals are cutting out mid game!
My specs are:
Intel Haswell i7-4770k Processor
MSI G87-G45 motherboard
Nvidia GTX 780 Graphics card
AX860 Corsair 860Watt PSU
Seagate 3TB Barracuda HDD
Sandisk 128GB SSD
16GB Vengeance Pro Black 1866MHz CL9 Memory
Windows 7

Can you download CPU-Z. Then check the Mainboard Tab in CPU-Z and check the what revision your Southbridge is.
I may be wrong but the USB disconnect after sleep was an inherent bug of the Intel C1 chipset which was corrected in C2. The initial boards all had C1.
It may be that yours is just faulty to the point that it started loosing the USB connection even though its not coming out of sleepmode.
Do check and let us know.

Sorry I missed this part in the initial read.
If that is the case, then it is also possible that you may have a defective PSU. The only way to confirm that is to run with another PSU for an extended period to ascertain if that is a consistent occurrence. If it doesn't happen, well then you know for sure it is PSU related. Also recheck all your connections from the PSU (especially the 24 pin connector)
Are your USB connections on the front panel or are you using the onboard USB connectors on the back?

Z87-G45 and 7970 problem

Sunday, I got a brand new MSI Z87-G45 and 4770k as a nice upgrade. Ive finally got the things working this evening, and the integrated graphics are running fine. However, when I attempt to utilize my 7970, no video output is available. The card is seated, the card works (last tested 2 hours ago), the card is powered, the fans are spinning up, yet still no video output is provided. Ive attempted to remedy the problem with another graphics card as well, and then with the two in crossfire, but still I have no out put. Help me msi forum , you're my only hope.

Hi and
Plz insert full spec list in next post like Svet asked.

Take the pc a part and build it without case and try again.
I hope this helps! Cheers Mummy
Edit: I dont member if that board come with power button, but if not you can use jumper(or other tool) betwean those power button pins (be careful to not jump wrong pins!) a secend to start it up.
Edit 2: Quote

Did you use same PSU?
If it dosent work without case, then take your system bear minimum (MB, CPU, PSU and that GPU. Mayby memory too, but you can test it. Should you need it with that on board vga and no memory in) and try again.
If that dosent help, i would ask RMA from shop that sell you that board or straigth from MSI.

Bootable Bios Flash Drive for Z87-G45

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to read this. I've been going around in circles trying to find a definitive post related to my problem.
I've got a problem with a PC running the Z87-G45 mobo. It worked fine for about a year. Since shutting it down the last time (perhaps coincidentally, there was a Win update that ran prior to shutdown), I can't get it to even make it to the dragon splash screen. It hangs at "A2" (displayed in lower-right corner). If I spam F1 and Del, it says "Entering Setup...", but goes no further. If I clear the CMOS, I get a screen that seems to recognize all my key hardware (though I don't know if that's a dynamic check or if it's simply pulling the last settings from BIOS or wherever), but pressing neither F1 (enter BIOS) or F2 (continue) does anything.
I want to try flashing the BIOS, but I can't get into the BIOS to set the boot order or to use the MFlash utility. I need a truly bootable flash-BIOS drive. In other words, it needs to use the boot drive prior to trying to run the mobo BIOS, which fails. Is that possible? Also, I need to be able to tell it to boot off the USB without accessing setup. I read a post that suggested that spamming the Home key would accomplish this. Is that true?
I can find any number of posts for creating a bootable flash drive, but they all seem to suppose that I can access the BIOS setup. I would be grateful for any guidance.
Thank you kindly,
Bobby

Hi,
Try clearing CMOS again: >>Clear CMOS Guide<< Your board has a button on the I/O panel (as far as I remember) so unplug power cord, remove battery and hold the button for 10 seconds.
Yes you need to be able to boot from USB, but since it doesn't pass "A2" part, it might be hard. Or to get into BIOS to use MFlash
What I suggest you do is:
disconnect all hard drives and hardware that is not required for boot (such as keyboard, DVD ROM, mouse, speakers, graphics card etc). Clear CMOS then too and see if it goes through.
Also try the same but outside of the case on non conductive surface like wooden table or motherboard box.
Try swapping RAM stick around the slots and see if it POSTs.
If by any chance it works when you have everything disconnected, try adding components one by one until it hangs again.

Flashing Z87-G45 GAMING bios

Hi I'm in need of new bios for my motherboard Z87-G45 GAMING current version is 1.A0 (out of the box) and latest ME drivers .
I will be using MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool.
Windows 7 64 bit
Thx for all the help in advance.

Quote from: Chike on 24-March-15, 02:36:00
You do not need to update BIOS just because "it is the latest version", flashing BIOS is always a risk, do not flash unless you really need to, e.g. it resolves hardware compatibility issue that you have. If it works. don't fix it.
+1
But if you want, well, we can't stop you but advise you how to do it and how to not brick the board
With MFlash and Forum tool it's always different story.. both can flash it perfectly fine, but if you get a single byte error in a file or other thing that can corrupt something while flashing, either can brick it. Use what you prefer to use.

MSI Z87 G45 GAMING erratic BSOD/freeze @ 2300, stable @1600. Can't solve.

Hi All,
I would welcome some advice. I am about 4 months into a new machine build:
* MSI Z87 G45 GAMING motherboard
* i7-4770K Haswell 3.5 GHz & aftermarket heatpipe cooler
* 4 x 4Gb G.Skill SNIPER DDR3-2133 PC3-1700 (F3-17000CL11D-8GBSR)
* GeForce GTX 650 Ti w/ 2 Gb Video RAM
* Samsung 840 Pro 256 Gb SSD
* Thermaltake 700W Toughpower
* Win 7 Pro 64-bit SP1
The system seems to run fine at the default 1600 MHz RAM speed, however if I implement either of the X.M.P. profiles (which kick the memory speed up to the RAM's advertised speed of 2133 MHz), the system will occasionally (every 8 to 48 hours) freeze or BSOD. The BSOD stop codes are inconsistent in number (0x00, 0x41, 0x1E, 0xC4) and driver. When the system freezes, there is no consistent behavior. I am not doing any other overclocking besides using the X.M.P. profile in the memory.
RAM timing on the 2133 X.M.P. profile is: 11-11-11-30.
I have updated the BIOS to 1.5, including the ME, and updated all drivers in the system. All irrelevant hardware and drivers are disabled. Also I have done the following:
* MemTest+ 5.01 for over 30 hours, all 4 sticks in. No errors.
* Intel BurnTest on 'Very High', 10 passes, no errors
* Prime95 for over day with 90 C CPU temps constantly being hit. No errors.
* Unigine Valley Benchmark for 30 minutes; no issues
I increased V_DRAM from 1.60V (from the XMP profile) to 1.65V, and I also added +0.10V offset to increase the CPU I/O ANALOG , CPU I/O DIGITAL and SYSTEM AGENT voltages. Didn't seem to help. All other CPU voltages are default from [auto].
I rolled the memory speed back to the default 1600 MHz, and the system seems stable as a rock.
I don't really need to have the memory run at 2133 MHz, but it irks me that the system is not stable with the rated components, and I'm befuddled why the stress tests seem to pass just fine, then the system will randomly hang with arguably a far less demanding load than the stress tests.
Note that I have not yet:
* reset the CMOS when changing to X.M.P. Perhaps I should?
* reseated the graphics card or CPU. The latter will require R/R of the thermal grease, which I will do if needed, but it's a pain. Since the system is stable at 1600 MHz, I assumed that all basic systems are working as they should.
* Tried to work my way up in memory speed step by stem from 1600 to 2133 to see where things fall apart.
* Tested the video memory
I suspect main system memory, despite the clean bill of health from MemTest, and based on many of the comments to others with similar problems from the veterans on this board. I don't want to push the CPU voltages too much above the default/auto values, for fear of damage and reduced lifetime.
Also, the power supply is a nice unit from an older high-end gaming rig. It is rated at 700W. The PS does probably have over 30,000 hours on it (24/7 use for 3-4 years), however. Strange that it would work at 1600 MHz fine, and with only slightly more power load at 2133. I suppose stranger things have happened.
I've read the suggestions to run only 2 sticks, rather than 4, but I can't justify dropping $140 on new memory (I don't really need the extra speed benefit, it's more curiosity and just not knowing at this point).
Anyway, perhaps more seasoned souls than I can share their thoughts. The system is perfectly usable at 1600, but I'd really like to know where the lockups are stemming from. Troubleshooting is maddening because of the inconsistency in the long times before failure and lack of repeatability to reproduce the issue.
Thanks in advance for your time.
-Paul

Thank you both for the prompt replies. I'm learning a lot.
Turns out I also found this from G.SKILL in going over reviews of the memory modules I have. Another user had a similar configuration as mine and was having similar problems. G.SKILL replied:
Quote
We are sorry to hear you were unable to get two kits working in the same system. It is not guaranteed two kits can operate at the rated specifications since they were not pre-matched, tested, and guaranteed at factory. With multi-channel motherboards, perfectly matching memory is necessary to achieve high frequency. This is why we must offer high capacity 32GB, 64GB kits, otherwise we can just sell one module at a time and have you purchase as many as you need. Unfortunately, memory does not work that way. If you purchase a 16GB kit rated at DDR3-2133, you should have absolutely no issues. For any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us directly for assistance.
Thank you
GSKILL SUPPORT
Not knowing any better, I simply purchased two "kits" of 2x4 GB each and installed them. Perhaps worse, if the modules were matched, I may well have mixed them up so the matched modules don't even sit in the same channels 1/3 or 2/4. G.SKILL seems to have a pretty responsive board, so I'll ask them what they suggest.
Also in the end, I really just want a stable machine. This is a basically an office/engineering machine. My initial thinking was that if the system was unstable at 2133 then there is something wrong with it that needs to be fixed. It sounds instead like getting to 2133 is not guaranteed, and is much more of an art than simply throwing the modules in and powering up the system.
I'm perfectly happy at 1600 knowing the system is stable. Indeed realizing now that 2133 requires overclocking, I may well have backed off to 1600 even if everything had worked just fine at 2300, just to trade extra stability for the (small) performance improvement that I would likely never notice anyway.
I'll put together a post for the G.SKILL forums, and if I get anything useful I'll post what I learn here for completeness.
Thanks again for the fast and informative replies. It's much appreciated.
Best,
-Paul

Z87-G45 Fan Connection Questions

Greetings,
I wanted to ask about connecting my Corsair liquid cooler. I'm using 2 radiator fans in a push-pull config, plus the cooler itself needs power. The Z87-G45 has 2 cpu fan connectors.
My first question is am I going to get fan control from this mobo? All my fans and cooler cables are 3-pin. I was given the impression that you might need 4-pin fans for variable fan speed control. Is that true?
If I am somehow going to get fan control from the mobo, I'd appreciate some advice on what goes where. Should I hook up the cooler power and one of the radiator fans to the CPU fan connectors and then the other radiator fan to a sys fan connector? Or would it better to have the cooler power on a sys fan connector? Better yet, is it safe to use a Y-connector for both of the radiator fans. I can't get a clear read on whether or not there is enough power for that and also whether it might screw up the BIOS readings for fan control (if that's a factor). I'm also one connector short for all the fans I want to run, so a Y-connector would be ideal. The 2 radiator fans are identical (Corsair AF120 - 12v/0.40a). I've read people write they *think* the max amp for each connector is 1.0, but I can't find anything definitive (it's not in manual).
If you're confident about any of this, I would appreciate your advice.
Thanks,
Bobby

Thanks for replying to one of my posts yet again Nichrome. You are an invaluable resource for this forum.
I did a double-check, and the Corsair fans are 3 pin. It's a shame; I wish I had studied this b4 I bought them. They are the loudest fans in my system. 4 pin fans, surprisingly, still seem to be very much the exception. Doing a search on Newegg for 4 pin fans, most of them, where I could see a picture of the plug, were of the old power supply molex variety.
Am I right to believe that the fan control for the CPU fan headers would be based on the CPU temp and the Sys fan headers would be based on either the mobo temp or the general temp of the air in the case? That will confirm for me if it's a bad idea to hook up the radiator fans to the Sys fan headers.
Thanks,
Bobby

Z87-G45 Windows 7 (+XP) Boot/Install Failure

Hello,
I recently upgraded my PC with a new MSI Z87-G45 mainboard, processor, 8GB memory, and an MSI video card. I kept my old HDD drives (4x 320GB Western Difgital SATA drives), case, a recently-purchased PSU, etc.
Two of the drives contain my old Windows XP install, in a RAID0 config. This will not boot since switching to the new mobo, presumably due to the lack of AHCI drivers. So, I tried installing Windows 7 on the other drives, first in a RAID1 mirrored drive, then I de-linked them to try to boot as a single drive. Windows 7 begins to boot, then hangs on the Starting Windows screen and never completely loads. Booting from CD to Repair the installation similarly hangs with no respinse.
The mobo is set up in RAID mode. This is the mode it was in when I installed Windows. Switching to IDE or AHCI mode causes the system to reboot almost immediately.
I guess what I would like to know is:
What settings do I need on the mainboard in order for Windows 7 to install properly (not that I feel like another 4 hour installation ordeal)? I currently am using SATA in RAID mode, boot order DVD then HD, all others disabled, and Legacy + UEFI.
Do I need to install the drivers from the included driver disk, and if so how do I do that if the machine cannot boot? The installation procedure does not ask for any 3rd party drivers like XP etc used to.
And frankly, if the system can read from the disk just fine to boot to a certain point, why should it even have this issue? Don;t need an answer to that, it's just frustrating.
Details:
MSI Z87-G45 1150RT mainboard
MSI R7 ATI 260X video card
Intel Core i5 4570 3.2G CPU, stock HS
Team 1600HC DDR5 DIMM
600W Corsair PSU
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you.

How will I run Memtest from the USB without a shell or Explorer, etc.? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I built my last machine 7 years ago (XP).

Yes. SP1 is integrated.
have you tried to install OS from the USB key?
maybe the dvd disk can't be read due disk itself or due optical drive and cause some issue.
what is your current bios version too?

Z87-G45 Graphics Problem!!!

I have a system i built a while ago and have always had a problem using any GPU. Ive tried numerous monitors and moving the card to all slots in my motherboard. Nothing seems to be working. All drivers are up to date according to Live Update.
About a week ago, i would get the lines during the MSI splash screen, and windows splash screen and then it would just open to my background but now i get absolutely nothing but this.
If i take the card out and run the motherboards graphics then it will boot up perfectly.
Im using an MSI Z87 G45 Motherboard, An i5 4440 CPU, and 8GB Corsair Ram.
I don't know if you need to know anything else, Im pretty new to this so i apologise for anything stupid i may put.. hah.
I would also like to point out I've tried a few graphics cards and they all also do the same thing.
Thanks in advance!

Well, it will make a difference. Just make sure you go for something well known which has good quality.
Cheapset quality PSU:

Problem regarding Z87-G45 and graphics card

Hey guys, I upgraded my PC yesterday and only kept the graphics card from my old one because it was pretty decent. PC now looks like this:
MB: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
CPU: i7 - 4770K
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600 Mhz (2x8GB)
PSU: bequiet! Straight Power E9 600W
and my trusty ASUS Geforce GTX 660 Ti
So basically I installed a copy of Windows 7 on my new SSD, installed the Drivers that came with the MB, and proceeded to download the new nvidia drivers because my graphics card was only being recognized as "standard vga video card". When I rebooted the system my PC froze at the Windows Logo and then rebooted itself over and over, getting stuck at the windows logo. Some times I got onto the desktop, could even open my browser etc. but that only lasted for a couple of seconds. Safe Mode was working fine though and it recognized the card and drivers. So I googled a bit, tried the card in my old PC and it was working fine.I tried my old GTX 260 but that gave my screen a very red-ish tone. Then I set up Windows again and installed every single chipset driver and MB driver, using mainly the MSI Live Update without my card in the system. It's running on the CPU's GPU atm. Then I plugged in my 660 Ti and didn't even get sth on screen this time. Now I've unplugged it again and am using the CPU graphic engine.
I'm kinda lost by now, I really don't know what else to try and I haven't found a solution I haven't tried on google.
So I wanted to try my luck with you guys: Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing some distinct BIOS features? Or is my MB/graphics card dying on me? And out of those options, which is the most likely?
Anyways, any help is much appreciated.

Well, I tried my luck once again - didn't work out too well. At least I know it can't be the graphics card 'cause that one is working fine here on my old PC.
But thenagain "compatibility" is a thing.
Any Samsung SSD's dont have SandForce, that i know of
Dosent your BIOS have update software in it? .. that what i used on main (MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming) and will use in dase on foward when i have it as i dont trust OS's.
What happend ? ...well youl luck run out but how?
Did you try different GPU drivers and they did disable your screen?
You see BIOS but not OS or what? ...
Edit: if that so then try other storage then your SSD for the os. just to get it out of picture...
You dont need to "validate" it for test so dont!!!! just set it to get validation later via manual or what ever els it says.
Edit 2: What if you brack the BD cake and insert that VGA to secend PCI-e x16 slot?
Edit 3: Samsung 840 have new FW too. So see if yours have one.
... i need to update one of my "non Pro Samsung 840" to be present in system, that had other drives in RAID...

MOVED: ram compatability msi z87 g45

I also have a MSI Z87 G45 motherboard.
I tried 1 working RAM module in all 4 sockets while testing and my memory only works in the 2 sockets closest to the CPU. I get no display when putting RAM in the other sockets.
I have 4x4GB DDR3-2400 modules, Kingston HyperX Anniversary (KHX24C11X3K4/16X).
I also tried the flash the BIOS to the latest but no improvements.
I got older Kingston HyperX (DDR3-1866) that do work in the other sockets.
Do I need to configure my BIOS first before inserting the RAM in those sockets?
