Z87-gd65 ethernet problem

Hi I recently bought the z87-gd65 motherboard and just installed it into my computer. Everything is working fine, except the 'killer e2200' ethernet port.
I am running windows vista 32-bit SP2.
I tried installing the drivers off of the CD that came with the mobo, no luck (Via CD > Network > Killer > KillerSetup_32bit.exe
"Your hardware is not supported on this Windows version. The installer can not continue."
Also, in Device Manager, it shows Ethernet Controller under 'Other Devices' with a Yellow triangle and a ! in it.
(There is no tab for Network)
When I first boot up Windows, I get a popup saying Windows needs the drivers for the Ethernet Controller, so I browsed the CD and no file worked.
Am I going to have to upgrade to Windows 7 or something?

First, try the network driver here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=174229.0
I installed this via Device Manage > Update Driver > Browse Computer For Folder > Killer E220x/Win 7(I'm assuming it's backwards compatible with Vista 32bit)
It says it's installed, but it gave me Error Code 39.
Via Properties > Check For Solution... I received this

Z87-GD65 possible problem

Alright, so I've been posting on some forums with this problem but idk why it never occurred to me to put it on here..considering I do have an MSI board. I've been having freezing problems with my new pc build lately, the build is...
Intel i5 4670k(stock cooler)
MSI Z87-GD65
EVGA Nvidia GTX 660
Samsung 840 EVO 350 GB SSD
Crucial Ballistix 2x4gb 1600 ram
Corsair CX750M
Corsair Carbide 200r case
Now I've ruled out the video card, the RAM, and the SSD through testing. So the only possibility is problems with the motherboard, processor, or PSU. Now the computer seems to randomly freeze, sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes an hour or so, sometimes I'm gaming sometimes it's just downloading a game. I've had a few ppl suggest overheating and that the heatsink may not be properly mounted on, but as far as I can tell it is and the cpu temps aren't going above 55 during gaming, and idle around 37. I realize the stock cooler isn't going to cut it for long so I do have a plan for water cooling that I'm getting within the next week or so. So I guess if heat is the issue than that should fix it, but I have a feeling it may be the mobo, or maybe I haven't set something properly(although I've checked over that a few times and everything seems to be set properly, nothing is overclocked). Now earlier I pulled a stick of RAM out and was running on one stick, and it seemed to be working but I didn't have more than an hour so I can't say with 100% certainty that it solved the problem or maybe it was just taking a bit longer to freeze than usual. So maybe it has something to do with a bad DIMM slot? because I got replacment ram and it's still freezing and I have a hard time believing I got 4 bad sticks of RAM in a row. So if this is sounding familiar to anyone and knows anything about this problem I would really appreciate some input.

I have the same problem . Random shutdowns . I test all the components in others PC and all are OK. I test with G-Skill Ram, Corsair Ram, OCZ ram. Anyone have any idea?

MSI Z87-GD65 SLI problem

I have been using the z87-gd65 motherboard with an msi gtx 770 since they both came out, and they have both been working great. I recently just purchased a second msi gtx 770 for SLI, however when I enable SLI, and try to play ANY game it will either crash immediately or run the game and the screen will flicker very bad. Both cards are functioning great if used individually as a single card. Has anyone else run into any SLI issues with this motherboard? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
so far some of things I have tried to no avail are...
-updated motherboard bios
-updated both video card vbios individually
-tested each card individually
-tested each pci-express slot individually
-replaced SLI bridge connector
-reset BIOS defaults
-tested all available nvidia drivers since the gtx 770 was released
-swapped power supplies (both are 850 Watt with 70+ on the 12v rail)
-changed various game tweaks/profiles and vsync options at different refresh rates

Quote from: xmad on 16-November-13, 02:00:25
If you need to raise the voltage to run at default speeds, the card is most likely defective. A vbios update sometimes helps, but it should work at default settings.
I had 1 ASUS 660ti OC version, had this for a year and worked great without any changes (updated vbios it cause of GOP). 2 weeks ago i bought a second one, MSI 660ti Power Edition OC (also updated vbios cause of GOP). Tested the second one as single as well without issues and without any changes to the voltage.
But running it in SLI mode causes crashes, i personally thought because they are both overclocked and running in SLI that they need a bit more voltage. I've read this in a post as well and it surely solved my SLI crashing issues.

Z87 GD65 memory problem

Hi All,
Z87 GD65 with I7 4770 at 3.5
4x Corsair Vengeance 4GB modules
I've built my PC today and one issue encountered is that I can only get the board to boot with 8GB in dims 3&4
It will not boot with anything in dims 1&2. I get error code 55
It will not boot with all 4x4GB in. Have checked the CPU for bent pins.
Would appreciate any thoughts.

Just check if there is no dust or stains or whatever in dim 1&2 socket and just check if they just 100% fitting the dimsocket. Switch the membanks also, sometimes it works 100%. Error 55 i had also before till i noticed that one of the mem banks were not 100% fitted in the Dim 1 socket.

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.

Z77A-GD65 Ethernet Problems "Network Cable Disconnected"

I've been running a Z77A-GD65 and have been having network problems with the onboard ethernet. Every time I go to play a game online I'll play for about 10-15 minutes and I'll be disconnected. When I'm back on the desktop, my ethernet icon on the taskbar will show "network cable disconnected" even though everything is plugged in fine. Fiddling with the cable or changing the cable does nothing. Reboot the machine and it's working fine until again I play a game for 10 or 15 minutes and the same thing happens.
First, the card was showing the wrong MAC address as specified in the MSI FAQ for this mobo. Performed the fix but the problem is persisting. Tried the MSI driver and the newer Intel one. One time I got a "Code 10" error as posted in another thread and again, wouldn't correct itself until I rebooted.
This only happens when I'm playing games. Web surfing or downloads work fine and my connection won't be disconnected until about 10-15 minutes into playing an online game.
I put in another discrete Intel network card and that worked fine. No problems. Same with plugging in a USB wifi adapter (my current temporary solution). Therefore, I'm thinking it's an issue with the onboard ethernet or driver. Anyone else with this problem or how to resolve it? Using the latest v10.5 MSI BIOS.

Removing the Asus Xonar did not help.
Re-flashed the BIOS as well using a DOS boot USB key instead of M-Flash. Readjusted all setting to default. Enabled/disabled "Network Stack" in the BIOS (what is this supposed to do anyhow? It's undocumented).
Wiped all drivers for this network adapter and re-installed the current ones from MSI's website. No change.
Noticed that the adapter would correctly run at gigabit full-duplex when set to auto-negitiate. However, it would drop down to 10mbps before it finally showed "cable disconnected". Plugging and unplugging the cable did nothing until I reboot, then it would work again... until I ran a game online and it would disconnect after 10-15 minutes of play. Ran the Intel cable test and it was fine (and the cable and internet has been fine when used in conjunction with another discrete PCI-e Intel card).
Re-crimped the ends to be sure. Tested again and the cable connection is good. Yes I know how to crimp ethernet so please don't suggest anything being wrong with the cable.
I've pretty well nailed down that it is an issue with the onboard ethernet. I've read on Intel forums about problems with this chip on Asus boards. Hopefully an MSI employee can point me in a direction that could help, or at least have the problem resolved in a future BIOS update.

Z87-GD65 boot problems

Hello, my pc has trouble booting up, whenever it starts it runs for about 2-3 seconds and turns off and goes into a boot-loop. However i have found a way to work my way around this by pressing the power button longer (during the boot problem) and after that it boots up just fine. What do you guys think that is wrong with it? Whenever it has been running and i restart the pc it boots without problem. It is only there when i boot up in the morning when the PC has been turned off for a while

Kind of indicates a power problem. Recommend you try it with a fan running directly off the PSU. A HDD is not what I am trying to convey here. If you have any sleep or hibernate features enabled, the fan connected directly may be the key to it starting when you hit the button normal.
RAM test is still a good idea though.

Z87-GD65 Boot Problems With 16GB installed

Hi All,
My machine spec
Intel 4770
16gb Corsair Vengeance Pro
MSI GTX 780 Twin Frozr Gaming
Corsair RM850 power supply
SanDisk extreme II 240GB SSD
MD Bios 1.8 default settings.
and that's all I have plugged in the board at the moment.
The problem is once I add the second stick of ram and do a real cold boot (like the next day) the machine doesn't boot. The leds just keep cycling.
The funny thing is if I take the second stick out it will boot. Then if I add the second stick back it boots fine and will work all day, no blue screens.
Then next day back to it not booting and cycling leds. I've tried swapping the ram sticks etc and they are in slots 2 and 4.
one other thing I've noticed is it takes a long time to shut down. I'm taking a minute after windows closes.
This is my second GD65 the first one wouldn't boot at all with the GTX plugged in and the same with my old 7870.
any ideas??
cheers
Johnny

Don't the Sandisk Exterme 2's use a Marvell chipset?
The previous generation SanDisk Extreme SSD used a SandForce controller, with largely unchanged firmware. This new drive however moves to a much more favorable combination for companies who have their own firmware development team. Like Crucial’s M500, the Extreme II uses Marvell’s 88SS9187 (codename Monet) controller. "courtesy of Anandtech.
Its time to do a manual memory setting. Set it to 1600 at 1,545 or the closest you can get to 1,575 and ensure your memory timings are set at 9.9.9.24. Retest

Z87-gd65 RAID problems

What the hell is wrong with this board?, or more to the point, what is right with it?
After getting the LAN problem fixed by buying a third party add on card, I'm now faced with another problem, and a major one at that.
After ANY BIOS update, regardless what version (and yes I'm using the forum tool), my 2 disk RAID array fails, every time, and all data is lost?? !?
2 x WD Black 1Tb drives in RAID 0, OS is installed on my SSD drive.
Any idea as to what is going on?

OK, after a ton of mucking about in BIOS, I can reproduce the same result just by changing SATA mode to either IDE or AHCI. Once any of these is selected and the system rebooted straight back to BIOS (without letting OS load), the RAID fails instantly when SATA is set back to RAID mode.
Not good at all, because when one updates the BIOS for any reason, the defaults are restored to AHCI for SATA, thus selecting RAID mode after the BIOS flash, will once again, cause the RAID to fail.

Z87-gd65 bios problem

Hi,
Had issue with a A2 error code on my MB. I try to flash BIOS to latest version and Computer stay blocked on black screen.
Using second boot bios i try to fix it, but get message : Invalid ROMID when flashing it with Mflash or Forum HQ flasher...
Anyone has the same issue ?
Thanks,

With M-Flash are you selecting the BIOS Update 'BIOS + ME' choice? I have a feeling the ME firmware is not getting flashed. Also, please clarify as you can damage the board if you switch BIOS chips with power on and when booted into the OS.

Z87-gd65 Bios Problems?

Hello!
Last night (saturday 18th) i turned off this damn computer before going to bed, next day it started up, but the screen was all black.
After looking into it, (removing ram, checking psu, gpu, cpu) i found out that by switching over the dual bios button to the 2nd bios its all good again. Ofc im back to bios version 1.00, but atleast it works now. the other bios (lets call it 1) is currently up to date, and worked fine untill i turned the computer off last night (saturday) tried clearing cmos, and pushing all the clear godknowswhat buttons i found on the motherboard, but the sceen still goes black. Was thinking i could flash the bios, but with a black screen, flashing the defective bios seems to be pretty hard.. can i conclude to a defective motherboard/bios or are there any other things i can do before risking flashing this one that works to the newest version (through live update) ? Should this go under some sort of waranty? its barely a year old.
and i know.. the english sucked.. im scandinavian.. accept it :P

Quite unlikely that bios a simply gone bad but let's try reflashing it:
A.) Download >>this<< bios archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the >>MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< .
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 from working bios B.
G.) Once it booted successfully switch to bios A without powering down or rebooting
H.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash bios A with desired version

You have 3 PCI-E x16 slots (x8-x4-x4) and 4 PCI-E x1 slots.
On the other hand, your CPU is limited to 16 PCI-E lanes.
Those 3 x RB44Ge routers are PCI-E x4, so you're going to use ALL the PCI-E x16 slots for them.
With the remaining PCI-E lanes you need to be lucky ...

Z87-GD65 USB headset and BIOS 1.7 problems

OK...as i've stated on these forums before there is a problem with attaching USB headsets with this motherboard. There is already many posts about the problem so it "is a problem". F.R.E.Q 5 headphone will not work with the mobo, other people on these forums have also complained about razor headsets not working, as I agree with that it is a well known razor has compatibility issues I still think this is a mobo issue that MSI need to address. Logitech G35 work fines...but every other usb headset i've tried doesnt...this is on both 1.3 bios and 1.6. I've also tried other workarounds to no avail.
Any MSI guys readin this...these are the headphone i'm talking about
http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/freq5.htm
NOW..the BIOS issue...the new 1.7 that has been released...DONT FLASH IT....it just bricked my mate mobos...lucky the GD65 has dual bios. I tried it to see if it happened to get his freq 5 working...but the PC wouldn't post.
Any comments or development on this situations on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Quote from: Nichrome on 08-December-13, 03:57:18
Personally I don't think it's a problem with a BIOS.
Have you tried updating all the drivers? Especially Audio..
Like I said, i've tried every workaround from bios to drivers. Been on these forums, other forums, other sources and no solution seems to work. There is nothing wrong with the headphones as they work on every other PC i've tried and those have had different mobos. Those headphones even work on my Z87 MPower MAX no problem..it is just this Z87 GD65 board. Could be just a bad apple out of the bunch...but I doubt we'll get a RMA for it just cause one sort of headphones wont work on it. Now my mate got a pair of $170 headphones sitting there he cant use.
And as the to 1.7 bios...just by going off the few posts on here i'd be pulling it asap, obviously not alot of testing has been done on it. Just lucky the board has the dual bios option.

Z87-GD65 Newly Built machine, many problems

hi all,
I've just bought a new MSI Gaming Z87-GD65 MB last week, and a new Xeon E3-1230 V3 cpu,.
Formerly my machine is Asus Sabertooth 990FX + AMD 1055T X6. It runs well with my OCZ V2 and V3.
When I built this new machine and install the new OS(WIN 7 Ultimate 64). Problems appeared continuously.
when i turn on the computer with my OCZ V2, it always restart at least once with a flash of blue screen, then into the windows log-in screen, when i restart the computer after installing new drivers, it rebooted with a windows failure screen and asked me to restore back!
When i start the machine with OCZ V3, I can't power off my computer after i selected the power-off button in Windows.The screen turned black and the HDD light is OFF, but the Fans are still running, the power LED is still ON! what's the problem then? SSD isn't compatible with the MB or new Intel Chipsets? My SSDs both upgraded to latest Firmware and the MB Bios is Version 1.5.
Please Help！ or I have to bought a new SSD (not SF controllers)?

Quote from: xmad on 19-October-13, 01:09:27
Plextor's are all Marvell controllers I believe so yes.
One of the best SSD's I have purchased.
EDIT:
Looked it up for you:
Controller Marvell 88SS9187
So yes it will work.
thanks ur reply! I've read the features and specs of Plextor :http://www.plextoramericas.com/index.php/ssd/px-m5m-series
And I've read the topic about Z87 & SSDs, the alternative choice for me is Samsung 840Pro SSD, Someone claimed that it also woeks fine with Z87, though the controller is developed by Samsung.
