Z87-gd65 help

Hi i have z87-gd65 motherboard. i was able to use the computer for more than half a year. then I updated motherboard software the same day the problem happens. So i was using my computer and then there was a black box opened up said something about flash initializing, then my computer just turned off. When i try to turn it back on nothing display on my monitors even when i plug my monitor into the motherboard slot. i opened my case it just show debug code of 36>F2 then it seems like the computer restart then 36>F2 restart. it seems to be going on like that forever. . I dont know what to do or how to fix it because nothing displays on the monitor. I think the problem is from the motherboard. What should i do? should i sent my mother board to msi to fix?

36 = CPU post-memory initialization. System Management Mode (SMM) initialization
F2 = Recovery process started
ok it sounds like you used live update and it has Partially Bricked the BIOS chip but not Fully as that F2 is it looking for a Recovery Media so here is what to do!
1: go to another computer
2: put a USB stick in it
3: download the latest BIOS version from this link http://download.msi.com/bos_exe/7845v19.zip (should let you download and chose to create a USB stick)
4: once its on a USB drive put it in your Z87-GD65 on a USB 2.0 slot (Black not blue) and leave it alone till it runs and auto restarts
hopefully that will let you have your board back up and running again (once you have it back REMOVE LIVE UPDATE as its prone to Bricking boards as windows is unstable)

Z87-GD65 wont boot from any drive, please help!

I desperately need your help on this issue. And thanks in advance for any answer!
I have a brand new Z87-GD65 Mainboard.
When I select my boot device in BIOS all I get is: "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key"
In BIOS I can find all my hardware (CPU, Drives, HDDs, DVD,... RAM) everything is shown correctly. Nothing missing there, all parts shown by correct values.
I cant boot through my DVD Drive or external USB Drive (on both I have Windows 7 which I want to install on my new system). The Windows DVD is also working properly, I checked it on my old PC.
No matter what Boot priority/device I choose (I think Ive tried them all by now) "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" is what I get after "save & reboot".
My BIOS Version is E7845IMS V1.8.
Any suggestions, what am I missing?
thank you very much for any help!

Ok, thanks for your help, I found the problem!
It was my DVD Rom Drive that could not read the DVD!!!!
What I Still dont understand is that it also didnt boot from a bootable HD through USB.
thanks for your help!
Glad you got it working....probably the controller got confused from the faulty DVD rom....

Z87-GD65 motherboard issues NEED HELP!

I just built my first gaming PC whit the Z87-GD65 motherboard from MSI. From time, everything is installed and ready to go, expect the CPU watercooling cooler.
But, i got a few issues whit the motherboard.
First, When i installed the drivers, i get an error for installing the bios (7845v13) and WIN78_64 drivers.
Error message for 7845v13 BIOS: The version of this file is not compatible with Windows - version you are running. Refer to your computer's system information if you need an x86 (32 bit) or x64 (64 - bit) version of the program, and then contact your software publisher.
Error message for WIN78_64 Drivers: This system does not meet the minimum requirements to install the software.
I tried to run as admin, but still.
Next issue that the boot up for windows 7 is much slower when i did install the drivers. It took me like 5 seconds or more to start up as new. Now it takes around 15 - 10 seconds.
Next issue is pretty much about that i cant use my keyboard at startup to go to the bios, or change the system settings. I have tried between 3 keyboards, and still. I know that i can get access to the bios for the motherboard, but still, i really don't want to open the case every time.
Here is my system specs:
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K Processor
GPU: EVGA Ge-Force GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA
PSU: Corsair AX 760 PSU
CPU cooler: Intel stock cooler (Upgrading to H110 watercooler)
Case: Phantom 820
Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming, Socket-1150
HDD: Seagate Barracuda® 1TB
Optical drive: ASUS DVD Writer, DRW-24B5ST
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Pro 64BIT
RAM: Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600 MHz 16GB Black
SSD: Intel® 335 SSD 240GB
I am really looking forward for help!

Hi,
I Personaly trust more the flash tool inside BIOS. And so i havent seen those type of OS problems
Isnt that WIN78 driver for that videocard inside the CPU?
-- And you are now useing, EVGA. So it dont see it in use at the moment.
Did you format that SSD when you installed OS on it?
-- For SSDs only "Secure eraser" to wipe it clean and if must then "fast format".
Hope this helps. Mummy
Edit: Duble check that the automatic defragmentation isnt on, on that SSD.

Thanks for the response - I had already contacted the seller, and they directed me to MSI who have a special webpage for it (to get the number to take to Nvidia).
The MSI process for some reason wasn't accepting the number but they have responded to ...

MSI Z87 GD65 GAMING Doesn't recognize crossfire. Help Pls.

Hello everyone, I've had several board msi brand, such as B3 P68 GD65, GD65 G3 Z68, Z68 GD80 G3, last week bought a Z87 GD65 gaming, but I can not activate the second video card, installed the amd 13.9 drivers with just one card ,rebooted and installed the second does not recognize the second card. I tested amd drivers 13.10v2 and does not work, I tested with the older amd drivers 13.4 official and does not recognize the second card.
Tested one by one each both graphical works fine.
I have the crossfire bridge connected.
I must change something in the bios? To recognize the second card? what ?
Never happened to me on msi boards such things and i haved always crossfire.

Hi everybody,
I tested one at a time in the pci-e 2 and works.
And do the same on Pci-e nº1. works fine the 2 card.
"Several possibles. If testing a card by itself in the second slot does not work, then either there is a problem with an errant standoff or other item shorting underneath the mainboard. The other most common reason is CPU socket pin(s) bent or damaged or the CPU cooler mouinted incorrectly or unevenly torqued.
I don´t believe it the pins because if you look at the GPU-Z recognizes the two cards.
And appears on device manager the to cards.
I am using SO w7 ultimate, and the board bios is the last version.
Is something else must be some setting in bios, and i don´t no...

Flashing of MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING failed and dual bios not helping, not sure why?

Hi all
For the first time in 20 years Ive had a firmware flash fail it seems.
I have a MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING and updated the bios with the latest firmware via the "M-FLASH" utility within the systems bios.
All seemed to have gone well, it flashed to 100% rebooted and then just a blank screen and a sequence of keyboard light flashes.
After a minutes panic I thought not to worry, the motherboard has a dual bios. So I powered down and switched the bios switch to bios B hoping it would assist and the problem is identical.
Any tips anyone?

I just tried this along with removing power from the main board and it seems one of the two did it! thanks

Z87-GD65 - Need help updating BIOS, might've bricked

I recently tried to flash/update my motherboard and I think I might've bricked it. Could somebody confirm and tell me what I should do?
I have the MSI Z87-GD65 Motherboard with an Intel i5 4690k.
My BIOS was an older version and I needed to update to support Haswell refresh. This is what happened:
I downloaded the latest BIOS update from the MSI website, extracted the files to a USB. I plugged that in and updated the BIOS through the MFLASH feature in the MSI BIOS. I updated the MSI BIOS & ME with the USB and I think the updating got to around 30-40% before the screen went black then after a little bit I got back to the BIOS menu. I checked the version and confirmed that the BIOS was updated to the latest version.
Thereafter I restarted my computer a few times and noticed that it took a little longer for the system to get to the prompt to enter "DEL" to get to BIOS compared to the first time when I booted my computer. Everything else seemed fine so I went ahead and turned off the computer again and removed the USB and replaced it with another USB to install Windows. Then as the computer booted I see an screen that shows the BIOS and ME is updating from 30%-100% then my screen went black. Now when I turn on the computer it remains black but the system powers on/fans work.
I looked up several sources to make sure I was flashing the MOBO correctly and I followed all the directions I found through MSI.
I pretty much followed the instructions here exactly:
Also I think my motherboard comes with a back-up BIOS. Is that a viable option to switch to? Are there any difference, how does it work? Also would resetting the CMOS do anything? I've been trying to figure out how I can fix the problem without having to RMA but was hoping to get some more knowledgeable advice before doing anything.
Thanks!

1. Could you elaborate on step D? How do I make sure legacy USB is enabled?
Enter bios -> Integrated periphals and check the USB settings.
Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
2. In step F, do I have to flip the switch to BIOS B on my motherboard then boot the computer with the USB plugged in?
You should already be at the working bios (b) so there should be no need for switching. But of course boot from the good bios.
Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
3. Step G: How do I switch back to the bad BIOS without restart/powering down? Do I flip the switch on the motherboard to BIOS A while the computer is still on?
Yes, you switch to the bad bios WITHOUT restarting or turning off while the machine is running.
Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
4. Step H: Will the directions be on a prompter once I switch to the bad BIOS or are there some directions online I'm missing?
Once you switched nothing will change for you. You will have the options from the MSI USB tool youbooted from the stick we prepared earlier. There you select the number of the flash option
Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
Thank you so much!
I have a few clarification questions.. just for reference this is all for a new PC I just built and doesn't have any OS installed:
5. Step I: What exactly is the ME drivers? When I originally tried to flash the drive there were two options: Update BIOS and Update BIOS & Me. So after I flash the 1B BIOS, I install windows as normal then once I get to the desktop I install the ME drivers in the link, right?
Right. What comes with the bios is the ME firmware (hardware level) but in Windows you also need to install the driver (software level). Therefor you install the driver linked after all went fine and you are back in Windows.

Msi Z87-GD65 Booting Failure With eSATA Drives

Hi Folks,
Before I go down the (probably ill-fated) Customer Service path I thought I'd address the forum here on a little problem I'm having with my Z87-GD65.
IN essence, if I have a hard drive connected to my eSATA port the PC won't boot. I'm using an ICYDOCK 4 bay external enclosure (MB561US-4SB if interested). If the drive itself is on but the HD trays are ejected then it boots. If any of the drives are secured then it'll hang at a post-BIOS/pre-Windows screen where all I get is a blinking cursor for about 30 seconds and then it disappears to a plain black screen. If the device is powered off then it boots.
I've checked the BIOS with one of the HDs running and it doesn't appear within my boot list - in fact, except for one selection in the bios allowing me to disable eSATA there really isn't much I can do there.
I've upgraded my BIOS to 1.30 from 1.00 and the process seems to move a bit further - now I get the oh-so-pretty ugly Windows logo and that's all.
When I do actually boot the PC with the ICYDOCK off then I'm able to get into Windows normally, and turn on the ICYDOCK. After a few seconds all 4 hard drives report in and everything's fine.
I've been using this ICYDOCK for about a year and a half, with 2 other motherboards (neither were an MSI) and i7 cores, and neither of them caused me any issues. I remember that neither of those boards had the port multiplier eSATA capability so I had to buy a controller card with that capability. I could probably dig that up and see if the problem remains.
In case you're wondering, if it helps, I built a Msi Z87-GD65/4770 i7 - based PC with 2 internal 2TB Hard Drives, and 16gb RAM. I already mentioned the ICYDOCK. I used LiveUpdate to install all the latest drivers & BIOS before uninstalling it.
I build & repair PCs for a living so I'm pretty familiar with what's going on with the system. I figure that there must be something happening between the BIOS and Windows "handoff" of the ICYDOCK, but I'm damned if I can figure out just what.

More information please. PSU, OS being used, etc..
Live Update is best uninstalled. Flash UEFI/BIOS the safer way;

Recommend to download drivers and utilities from the MSI Websites and install manually.

Z87-gd65 Troubles

Hi guys, I'm new here but would like a big help.
Spent a week putting my new build together and installed win8.1 on it, all OK, but no ethernet /lan working. Nothing will work as regards installing drivers from CD, nor updated ones from site.
If I run the killer app it says no compatible hardware etc, tried 32bit also, although I'm on 64bit. Tried searching CD etc, but it just says no drivers found?
I can't get anywhere with this board atm without a connection. Plugged it into my second system and net is working fine, so no problems with that side of things,
Any help appreciated folks.
Regards,

Hell of a time I'm having with this board, never since the days of the old pentium setup's, have I had such an agonising journey.
Decided to install ordinary Windows 8 to see if that fixes the problem, but it throws up another, it won't install as my SSD drive is not detected and requires drivers for installation? Windows 8.1 never required this, and happily installed just fine, albeit with no Ethernet connection.
So we have hit another brick wall yet again. Going to pick up a cheap network card tomorrow and give that a shot along with Windows 8.1 again.
If windows 8.1 can see it i dont see why it can be seen on windows 8, maybe it has a bug with windows 8 that you need to upgrade its firmware, some manufacturers released firmwre when windows 8 was released. Personally i will not touch windows 8, im fine with 7 till 9 comes, btw i have no issues with Z87-GD65.
Quote from: scaramonga on 27-September-13, 08:49:27
Out of interest, do the onboard fan headers allow 3 pin fans to be controlled in BIOS, or is that something else I gotta buy to get working properly?
To what i know, i dont think you can control 3pin on bios, only 4pin PWM on the CPU_FAN1 and CPU_FAN2 headers (both are controllable independently)

Z87-GD65 fails to boot when I enable X.M.P.

Guys, Looking for any advise out there. I have two systems with new Z87-GD65 with an Intel 4770K and 16GB ADATA RAM and one of the systems fails to boot whenever I enable X.M.P. I've switched out the RAM from one system to the other and everything is fine on one and same thing on the other. I've tried clearing out the CMOS and booting from both sets of bios. I have OC turned off. Everything is fine until I enable X.M.P. I'm at a loss any ideas?
Thanks,
Frank

Z87-GD65 can't use 3TB disk drives on Intel SATA ports

I've been happily using my Z87-GD65 for several months now with a 256G SSD for Windows 8.1, and 4*2T spinning Seagate drives. I decided it was time to make 'em bigger. So I plugged in a 3TB Seagate ST3000DM001 on one of the Intel SATA ports. The motherboard doesn't recognize there's a drive there at all. If I go ahead and boot, it's very slow to come up and Windows does recognize the drive, but it's unusably slow and eventually just hangs.
Ok... Flash the BIOS on the disk. No better.
Flash the MB BIOS. No better.
Plug in a WD 3T Red drive. Same exact symptoms.
Try different Intel SATA ports. Same symptoms.
Both drives work fine on two other completely different systems (both old LGA1155 systems).
Plug the drive in to the ASM1061 ports on the Z87-GD65 and poof... works like a champ. 170MB/sec from the Seagate, 150MB/sec from the WD.
Well, that's something, but I had intended to replace the 4*2T drives with 4*3T drives. Using the ASM ports is not the answer.
I checked the hard disk drive test report and it claims the ST3000DM001 was tried and works. So I'm pretty stumped. Old MB BIOS didn't work, new MB BIOS doesn't work, old Seagate firmware doesn't work, new Seagate firmware doesn't work, WD doesn't work, multiple ports don't work.
Surely other people are using large drives on these MB's.
Hints?

It does help knowing other people are getting the same hardware to work. Gives me hope.
My first thought was "ain't no way it's the OS" since the MB isn't showing the drives on the display of SATA devices. But just to do a quick check I slipped in a Fedora drive and booted and wow... no problems at all with using the 3T drives. Motherboard still claims no knowledge of them, but Fedora uses 'em fine.
ok... Update the Intel chipset drivers and the IRST and reboot and... it's better. Still broken, but better. Takes about a minute to boot instead of the usual 12 seconds, but once it's up it's working ok best I can tell. So it's getting hung up on something during boot.
Fine... reset the CMOS, PITA though that is since I have to yank the SLI graphics card to get to it.
Put it back together, boot, and... Windows won't boot.
I'm about ready to throw a tantrum but get it together and just start trying things. Yank all the drives but the SSD. No. Boot from Fedora. No. Yank the second graphics card. YES! Put it back in again. YES! Guess I didn't get it seated right the first time, or something. Sure felt ok going in, but I won't argue with results.
Boot W8.1 and... bingo... up in 11 seconds with 3*3T drives in it. And the CMOS claims to see the drives now.
Stripe 'em in Windows software and CrystalMark says it can read 490MB/s and write 450MB/s.
That'll do. Thanks.

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.

MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard Booting Windows 7 Trouble

Hi guys, today I bought the MSI Z87-GD65 Mobo, 2 Sticks of 4GB RAM and the Intel i7 4770. I bought these to upgrade my old system and the only other parts im using is my Nvidia GTX570, PSU and my 2TB Seagate HDD.
Everything hardware works normal, no abnormal signs.
My problem is when it boots up, it says "find --set-root --ignore-floppies --ignore-cd /win7ldr. Error 15: File not found"
I've tried using my windows 7 disc and it says all my stuff is still there and the startup troubleshooter doesn't find any issues. I tried putting my RAM in properly and its in nicely. (they are in the 3rd and 4th slot though) My power is fine, its just the BIOS isn't booting it =(
-The BIOS is updated
-No Hardware faults
Note: when i press any key to continue, it comes up with GRUB4DOS and has options like: "Windows 7 with SLIC Loader (Default)"
Please help me if you know anything!

Hi,
Quote from: TrisXD on 15-July-13, 20:12:10
Its a fresh install of Windows 7, i had to do it to fix my original problem =/
Update: I changed the RAM and put them in the slots u suggested, no change.
Sorry, when i post my last anser, i didnt know your new problem
Sounds like old problem from time of XP to Vista.
Firsth. Take out that USB connection of your headset from PC.
Secend. Uninstall any driver that headset (or you) may have installed to your OS.
Third. Run registercleaner program.
Fourth. Shotdown PC and then start again (dont just reboot!)
Fifth. Download and/or Install drivers for that USB headset.
Sixth. Reboot that PC.
Seventh. Insert that USB connection.
I hope this helps! Cheers, Mummy
If not i would try to ubdate intel chipset drivers(if MSI ones dont work, i would go to Intel site and try them from there) and if those dont help then another reinstall of OS and member to inser USB device after installing drivers for the device.

Z87-GD65

Howdy ,
I recently installed a new Mobo ,, the Z87 Gd65, along with two new DD3 and New Processor, Combined with my Old HDD that has My windows version Vista.
The problem I am encountering is the Error code on the Board.
Upon Starting the machine.. this is what I see both on the board and on the screen.
The board flashes 19,62,99,93 0r 9c then A2, then finally AE
The screen Boots in to the windows recovery screen , if I do nothing the machine attempts to load windows, then flashes a blue screen then reboots.
Thanks For any help
Tony

Is the Vista on the HDD carried over from the last MB and what was the MB in the rig? My opinion is that it's not going to boot to OS if it's carried over from the last rig. The OS is looking for the old hardware, it's not finding it and won't boot. When everything is as it should be it will then show AO on the LED display and boot to the OS. You would need to do fresh install of OS and in my opinion best would to get Win 7 and drop the Vista altogether.
Another thing, this is posted in AMD forum and should be in the Intel Core ix section.
