Z87 GD-65 Gaming with MSI R9 280X 3G BF4 (OMG-:censored:-BBQ)

Good morning!
I built a new gaming rig last week, and I cannot get the graphics card to work.
My spec is:
Intel i7 4770K
MSI Z87 GD-65 Gaming
16GB 2400MHz RAM
250Gb SSD
1Tb HDD
1000W Modular PSU
I've managed to install all components, and successfully run Windows 7 64 without the graphics card, but as soon as I insert the card (with power off and PSU lead removed) and try to start up the machine, neither the HDMI from the motherboard or the graphics card work.
As a note, the mobo HDMI leaves the monitor searching for a signal, and when using the GPU the screen says there is a signal, but it shows either nothing, or purple or green vertical stripes on the display.
Has anyone had this issue before?
I've tried to register the items with MSI, but the product registration center isn't working.
Many thanks,
Jax C

Problem Solved(ish)!
I used a DVI cable, and it worked straight away! - Cheers Svet!
Once I had installed the drivers and CCC etc, then the HDMI started working.
I've got no idea why this is the case, but I'm just glad I resolved it!
As a side note, on start-up, nothing appears until the Windows 'Welcome' screen - no BIOS screen (as if on a secondary monitor). Is there a way to change this?

  • MSI R9 280X GAMING vs MSI R9 280X GAMING BF4 edition

    Hi Guys,
    I was wondering if there is any hardware difference between the MSI R9 280X GAMING and MSI R9 280X GAMING BF4 edition.
    I already have an MSI R9 280X GAMING BF4 edition and I want one more that is identical. However the retail price for the "none BF4" is cheaper.
    Please advice.

    Hi,
    There is no difference in hardware. The BF4 version has a code to get a copy/download of BF4

  • Crash by gaming with MSI z97 Gaming 9 AC/ MSI 980GTX

    Dear MSI Form
    The last couple of weeks I have a very bad crash,
    This is my system:
    Windows 8.1 64
    Mother board: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
    GPU: MSI GTX 980
    CPU: Intel core i7 4790K 4 GHz
    CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Nepton 240M
    Memory: 16GB 4x4 Corsair vengeance pro
    Hard disk: 2 X 1TB 1 X 1TB SSD
    Power supply: Be quiet! Power Zone 650W
    Case: Cooler Master CM Storm Trooper Window
    Fans: 9X Be quiet! Shadow wings + Fan controller
    I use my pc mostly for gaming,
    I bought en build my pc on September 2015 but now and then I get a very bad crash, the crash shuts down my pc (no blue screen / no Error) just a black screen with a pc that won’t respond on anything. The lights are on at my motherboard cpu cooler and GPU, but no respond. To turn my pc on again I have to shut down the main power switch. After 10 seconds I can start up my pc again.
    I get the following windows event: id 41 kernel power
    Scenario:
    This began when I played Dragon age 3 in December, I got the crash twice in like 100 hours. (not a big deal) than I got the same crash once when I played GTA V with 60 hours more or less. But now when I playing the Witcher 3 wild hunt I get it every 5 minutes.
    What did I try to fix it but won’t work:
    - Memtest run x10 no error
    - Drivers up to date
    - The temps under full load are great CPU they won’t go over 51 degrease / GPU 68 degrees / the rest won’t go over 45 degrees.
    - I got no virus.
    - Everything is connected just fine.
    I hope you guys can help me out.
    Kind regards,
    Tijs Dragtsma from the Netherlands

    May be your PSU being too weak or going bad (I doubt though). Although you have 9 fans.. maybe try disconnecting case fans and leave only CPU cooler ones to work?

  • MSI R9 280X - Severe artifacts

    Hello,
    I bought a R9 280X 3G BF4 some time back and I had some artifacts in crysis 3 so I dismissed it as a game specific issue.
    But, recently I got LOTR: Shadow of Mordor and the game displays some very serious artifacts making the game unplayable. The game works perfectly on my other PCs, so I used graphs from MSI AfterBurner & GPU-Z for troubleshooting and found out that the artifacts appear only when the VRAM usage crosses about 2GB.
    Its getting very frustrating as I am unable to use the full 3GB VRAM and even lower-end cards can run games better. Please help me in getting this issue resolved.
    note: I tried running the GPU in a different PC & I got the same issues.

    Conclusion
    26 crash dumps have been found and analyzed. Only 10 are included in this report. 2 third party drivers have been identified to be causing system crashes on your computer. It is strongly suggested that you check for updates for these drivers on their company websites. Click on the links below to search with Google for updates for these drivers:
    atikmdag.sys (ATI Radeon Kernel Mode Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.)
    atikmpag.sys (AMD multi-vendor Miniport Driver, Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.)
    If no updates for these drivers are available, try searching with Google on the names of these drivers in combination the errors that have been reported for these drivers and include the brand and model name of your computer as well in the query. This often yields interesting results from discussions from users who have been experiencing similar problems.
    Read the topic general suggestions for troubleshooting system crashes for more information.
    Note that it's not always possible to state with certainty whether a reported driver is responsible for crashing your system or that the root cause is in another module. Nonetheless it's suggested you look for updates for the products that these drivers belong to and regularly visit Windows update or enable automatic updates for Windows. In case a piece of malfunctioning hardware is causing trouble, a search with Google on the bug check errors together with the model name and brand of your computer may help you investigate this further.

    No need to edit, just add a reply as flobelix asked for exact models of RAM and motherboard.

  • MSI Z87 G45 + MSI R9 280X + Windows 8.1 secure boot difficulties

    After updating to Windows 8.1 Pro I had the "Secure Boot isn't configured properly" watermark as many others. I determined my disk is GPT partitioned, I enabled UEFI on the GPU by moving the physical switch from the 2 position to the 1 position, and enabled Windows 8 Feature + Secure Boot with standard settings in the G45 bios (ver 1.5). After doing save and reboot I'm presented with a blank screen with my monitor showing a "DVI no input" message. I reset the CMOS to allow me to boot again, but after a couple more tries with the secure boot settings such as enabling/disabling Fast Boot I have not been able to get it to work.
    System:
    MSI Z87 G45
    8GB DDR3 1600mhz Crucial ram
    I5-4670k
    MSI R9 280X
    Samsung 840 SSD 250gb
    Asus cd/dvd drive

    I want to know the same thing. I bought a MSI Z87-G45 Gaming motherboard this month and I can't activate Secure Boot on it because it's still in Setup Mode. I have no idea how to put the motherboard into User Mode and Google doesn't help me much further either. How to activate a key? I have a I5-5670K and GTX 770 by the way.

    None of that is a bios version. We need a link to a copy of your vbios saved to file and uploaded to a file hoster to check if there is a newer version. If not allowed to link yet add a break to the link so it is masked being a link.

    Others reported that too when using the same card. If unlocking won't work (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<) contact MSi about it as there seems to be an issue: >>How to contact MSI.<<

    UEFI is aGOP compliant vbios that allows to use secureboot/fastboot (Windows 8/8.1). If not using UEFI booting it doesn't matter which you use. Older mainboards with UEFI but not being GOP compliant on the other hand won't work with a GOP vbios and only the legacy vbios allows to use the card.

  • MSI R9 280X 3G Gaming artifacts and freezes

    I just bought a 2 month old MSI R9 280X 3G Gaming card. After I installed the card my PC didn't POST, so I went into the bios and resetted everything to default. Then again my computer didn't POST. I checked the bios switch on the graphics card, it was set on position 2, I switched it to position 1 and my computer booted into Windows. I installed the catalyst drivers and started to play some games. It went quite bad, I had artifacts, game crashes and overall bad performance.
    I read out the bios version on switch position 1 (the one that does work), this is ver. 015.040.000.000.003435. I flashed the bad bios version on switch 2 which was version 015.040.000.003.003435 with 015.040.000.000.003435.
    After the flash I was able to boot windows on switch 2. Still I do have performance issues with games, like artifacts and game crashes.
    My S/N is 602-V277-38SB1312093272.
    Can you guys help me out with this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Alright, I tried to flash my bios to E7681.430 with the USB DOS tool available on this forum. After my computer booted the USB stick, I was prompted to do a memtest. It hanged, so I wasn't be able to memtest before flashing.
    I download the last version of memtest86+ 5.01 and tried to memtest test 5 and 7 for 20 loops, it passed with 0 errors, so it seems my system is stable. Then I copied your provided BIOS to my USB stick and tried to flash it with M-flash in my current BIOS. M-flash wasn't able to recognize this file, so I won't be able to flash it.
    So with not be able to pass memtest (only my own downloaded memtest86+ v5.01) from the MSI Bios Flash Dos tool and not be able to flash a new bios with M-flash. I'm not sure what to do next, I won't try the Windows flash option, because of this https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=177335.0  topic.
    On the other hand I looks like I need to update to version 4.3 for me being able to use the r9 280x card.
    Can you give me any advice about what steps to take next? Thanks in advance.

  • MSI R9 280X Gaming 6GB Issue

    I've purchased this card about a month ago from Newegg and it's been great so far.  The only problem that i have is when navigating through windows.  Maybe it's just from using my browser but I've notice the screen to flicker when i'm in the browser scrolling or watching videos.  I have turned off hardware acceleration, used MSI drivers, beta drivers, and the latest drivers but this still happens from time to time.  I don't think the card is an issue itself because i do not notice this when I'm in game.  I believe the R9 280x 6GB that i have comes with the latest vbios already so i am not too sure if MSI currently has anything to remedy this issue.  Apparently this has been an ongoing issue with R9 cards.  So not sure if it is the R9 line of cards itself, the drivers provided by AMD, or the bios installed on the cards.  RMA won't fix this issue as it is a widely known problem throughout all manufacturers of this line of cards.

    Yeah, I got the same issue. Windows 8.1Pro (64bit).  Same card (6GB).
    If I'm on the desktop and I leave a game running in the background and sometimes when using the browser displaying videos and/ or flash video ads, I get what looks like a screen shift.  The picture flickers or jars upward/ downward. It reminds me of something you might have seen on an old CRT monitor when you hit the degauss button, but not quite as bad. It's like some kind of vertical screen refresh or something and looks like someone smacking your monitor from the top while you are using it. The only way I know how to fully re-produce it, at will, is by running my Unigine Valley benchmark in the background and then proceeding to do things on the desktop.  It's definitely not heat related because my GPU temp can be at 33c or lower and still doing it. If I leave my Elder Scrolls Online game running in a background, depending on what's happening in the game, it can do it in this scenario too.

  • MSI R9 280X GAMING 3G bios

    Hello, I've recently bought an MSI R9 280X GAMING 3G video card and so far it works very well without any problems. However, having read some pretty nasty things about it overheating, coil whining, and fans going all wrong, I thought it might be a good idea to update vbios.
    According to GPU-Z my current one is 0.15.040.000.003.003435 (113-C3865000-G77)
    Is there a later version of bios for my GPU? Because MSI Live Update says no. Thanks in advance

    If all is fine there is nothing to do. Either you have problems or not. These issues won't appear suddenly.

    That information is useless. We need your card's S/N and a copy of the current vbios. However as said above if everything works don't bother with updating vbios just to update.

    Hi Hallo!
    Please UEFI/GOP Bios for MSI R9 280x Gaming (Ultrafast Boot Win 8.1)

    thanks 

    There you go: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=173931.0;attach=12208
    Eventually that is not even needed. it should be possible to switch between two versions with a hardware switch and one should be GOP compliant.

  • Z87-G43 GAMING with Killer E2205, interrupted internet connection

    Motherboard Z87-G43 GAMING with Killer E2205 Gigabit LAN controller
    I am using the latest Killer Network Driver (driver only) 8.1.0.23, from MSI website.
    The issue:
    Occasionally my internet is interrupted and my network card needs to be disabled and re-enabled again to re-establish internet connection.
    I am quite certain that it is the network card or driver fault. The logic of this is that other users in my home connected to the same ISP modem has uninterrupted internet connection, while my interruption is happening. Also, as soon as I have disabled and enabled in “Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections”, the internet connection is back up. The process of disabling and enabling takes less than a few seconds.
    My internet connection is automatically connected through the modem, I do not dial from my computer.
    This problem has occurred ever since I got the motherboard, however it hasn’t really bothered me that much until now.
    I recently started playing Counter-Strike Global Offensive, and for those of you who plays CS:GO, also knows that it is not cool to have interrupted internet connection during a competitive match.
    Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
    Thanks 

    try a different network cable, different router port, try reset your router and/or load its default config and/or update it firmware

  • Can I control 3-pin fan with MSI Z97 gaming 5?

    Hello, I want to know if I can control 3-pin fan plug into 4-pin header with MSI z97 gaming 5 mobo
    Thanks
    PS: Sorry my poor english

    I own an MSI Z87-GD65, im assuming your Z97gaming5 is similar, mine can control 4pin PWM fans on the CPU_FAN1 and CPU_FAN2 headers, and can control 3pin fans on SYS_FAN 1,2,3, all of this on bios fan control (i dont like nor use the Control center).  The limitations of my bios is that on 4pin fans on CPU_FAN1 i can go to 12.5% pwm (as long as the fan can reach this low), while on the 3pin con SYS_FAN i can only drop them down to 50% (thats if you fan can start at that voltage, had one that needed 60%), the fan can be ran at a steady % = rpms or can be dynamically ramp up with the CPU temp, thats also selected on the bios.
    Here is a run that i did last weekend on a Silverstone AP182 connected on SYS_FAN3 on pure bios, you can see there the different % and rpms, and in the bottom you can see prime95 run where it did ramp the fans with the cpu temp.
