Z87-GD65 + i7-4790K + BIOS 1.B and reset freeze

Hello,
after looking for a few days for a solution to my problem which is reset freeze this is my last resort.
Recently upgraded CPU from 4770K to 4790K on MSI Z87-GD65 and I'm getting reset freeze.
Screen goes black (no signal), fans are spinning and system stays in this state.
People say to update BIOS to 1.B (1.11) which is latest one but this did not solve the problem.
After restoring default settings in BIOS system reset correctly once and then it hangs again.
It doesn't matter if the reset is from windows or linux of from BIOS after saving changes.
I was flashing BIOS from BIOS menu using M-FLASH and pendrive.
Any suggestion are appreciated.

Thx for reply, my rig now is
CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4790K Processor (8M Cache, up to 4.40 GHz)
VGA: MSI GeForce GTX 780Ti GAMING 3G
MOBO: MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING
BIOS: 1.B (1.11)
RAM: Avexir BLITZ 1.1 Gaming Dragon 1866MHz CL11 4x4GB
Case: Corsair Obsidian Series® 900D Super Tower Case
PSU: Corsair RM850 850W 80 PLUS® Gold Certified Fully Modular
SSD 1: SSD Samsung 840 EVO 250GB
SSD 2: OCZ Vertex 4 SSD 256GB
HDD: WD Green 4TB 64MB cache SATA-III (WD40EZRX)
OS1: Windows 8.1 x64 OEM ENG
OS2: Debian Jessie x64
It worked fine on previous CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4770K Processor (8M Cache, up to 3.90 GHz)
and I can't test it anymore because I sold it.
Clearing CMOS didnt help.
CPU is seated correctly I made sure of that and pins are straight, I'm very careful with that.

  • Z87-GD65 1.4 BIOS XMP problem

    Hi guys... I'm argentinian, and I don't speak very well english.. sorry for that..
    I have a problem on my Z87-GD65 with this bios (official 1.4) it's unstable for me, the RAM (g.skill trident x 2400 cl10-12-12-31) not running good in xmp profile.. on the bios 1.3 not problem, but on bios 1.4 doesn't works fine..
    Any person have problem with that?
    I hope some guy help me. thanks for time.. 

    Recommend to reflash to v1.3 and report the problems with v1.4 to MSI Technical;

  • P67A-GD65(B3), new BIOS 4.3 and power phases

    The old BIOS for P67A-GD65(B3) offered APS, Intel SVID and disabled as options for the power phases in the BIOS. The newest BIOS has no such option so I have to wonder whether APS and intel SVID are still around or all power phases options are set to disabled.
    I have 2 of those mainboards. In the first one the BIOS is upgraded to 4.3. The system has a Pentium G860 (Sandybridge) and a Corsair HX750 psu. Control Center reports system to have 1 phase active while idle but the phase system itself is reported as disabled. It is not reported as either Intel SVID or APS. This seems to be wrong though cause when system goes to full load all phases go active again.
    The other mainboard has an i5 2500K and was using BIOS v1.19. I had set the phase system to Intel SVID and indeed the phases changed between idle and full load. In a stupid attempt to benefit from Intel's rapid start technology that is supported on the latest BIOS and despite my better judgment I upgraded the BIOS to v 4.30. I had lots of issues with overclocking the CPU so I downgraded to 1.19 using the forum tool and the custom BIOS file. I may need to do a fresh installation of windows but according to the leds on the mainboard and the Control Center I can't get the mainboard to lower the phases even when idle. I've tried Intel SVID and APS in the BIOS but I had no luck. C1E is enabled along with every other energy saving feature. Currently and most of the time the i5 is running on stock clocks. I did notice that during the original upgrade from 1.19 to 4.30 in the BIOS the Intel ME was also upgraded from v7 to v8. I am not sure if the forum tool that reverted back the BIOS to v1.19 took care of the intel ME.
    So I wanted some clarification to what happens with the power phase system in the new BIOS (4.3) and a bit of help in regards to the other system that for the time being seems incapable of lowering CPU phases. The second system is using a Coolermaster Silent M 1000W psu. Both mainboards are equipped with 16GB of Corsair (XMS1600) memory. Both systems use aftermarket coolers that keep the temperature reasonably low while being very quiet. I could list the rest of the specs but I don't think they will matter much.

    The v4.3 was intended for those that decide to install an Ivy CPU. There must have been a reason why some of the features or settings were modified or eliminated to accomodate Ivy support. It may be best to ask this question directed towards the MSI Technical engineers.

    As for phases, it may depend on how many applications are running in the background.

  • P67A-GD65 new system bios setting recommendations and sata connections

    Hey all,
    My old dual core HTPC (after many hours of use) finally gave up the ghost and moved on to the great PC grave yard . I have ordered all the new upgrade parts from Newegg and am looking for recommendations on what bios settings and setup procedures I should use on the initial bootup and Windows load. I'm not looking to overclock I just want a fast stable system for video decoding and playback. It's my understanding from the manual that SATA 1-2 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and 7-8 are controlled by the Marvell chip but I am unsure of SATA 3-6. Can SATA 3-6 do raid 0? I want to use the Crucial SSD as my primary boot drive and the 2 WD drives on raid 0 as my secondary drive. SATA connection advice (which SATA ports) and Raid Bios setting would be helpful. Should I install the raid 0 drives after I have Windows 7 loaded on the SSD? Any other setup advice is appreciated.
    Here is my setup.
    Windows 7 64bit
    Bach HTPC case
    Ultra LSP 750Pro PSU
    Intel i5-2500 3.3G CPU
    MSI P67A-GD65 Motherboard
    Sapphire HD5570 1G RT Video Card
    Crucial CTFDDAC128MAG-1G1 SSD 6.0Gb/s SATAIII (Primary boot drive)
    2 WD3200KS Hard Drives SATA 3.0Gb/s (Raid 0)
    Lite-on 12X Blu-Ray Burner SATA
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

    Two questions answered. SATA 3-6 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and do support Raid 0 but I still wonder if I should wait to install the drives until Windows has finished it's install.
    SATAIII controller integrated in Intel® P67 & Marvell SE9128 chipsets
    - Up to 6Gb/s transfer speed.
    - Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA1~2) by P67 PCH
    - Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA7~8) by Marvell SE9128

  • Z87-GD65 Gaming: New BIOS?

    Hello,
    is there a new BIOS version available that can be used with the MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool?
    The current Bios on my mainboard is 1.A or 1.10, the version of the Forum flash tool I have is 1.25g, and the latest version of the Intel ME Driver I have downloaded is 10.0.0.1204.
    Thanks

    Hi Svet,
    thanks a lot. It seems that the current MSI HQ Forum USB flasher is still "MSIHQ Tool 1.25g Installer.rar". I just want to be prepared with a new BIOS in case something goes wrong when I will finally change my intel onboard graphics into a nvidia discrete graphics card.
    But one more question: Since there is also the use of FPT recommended in some other thread in regards to all LGA 1150 mainboards, supposedly with the use of the BIOS version from the MSI support site, is there any difference to using the Forum flash tool method together with the BIOS version you gave me other than having to prepare the USB stick myself when I use of FPT instead of the convenience of letting the Forum flash tool do this for me?
    Thanks again.

  • Bios settings, memory and random freezing

    Hi all
    I have a new pc setup.  Problem is that it keeps freezing at random times, either playing a game or listening to music and sometimes just when I surf the net.  It has even frozen IN THE BIOS!! before needing a restart!
    I think that its something to do with the memory settings in the bios, any ideas on what the bios settings should be?? all components are brand new.
    MSI kt6v-lsr
    AMD Athlon XP 1700
    512mb PC400 DDR Ram
    Leadtech GeForce FX5200 128mb
    1 X Maxtor 82gb SATA drive (booting from)
    2 IDE CD drives attached.
    500w PSU
    Currently i have FSB set to 133 as any higher than that and the system wont start, the rest is set to auto.
    Any help much appreciated!! CHeers!

    A nice description about SPD,  its used to automatically detect your ram timings.
    http://www.extremeoverclocking.com/reviews/memory/Crucial_PC3200_4.html
    Now PC3200 is new but some manufacturers have PC4000 ram (500mhz)
    So the technology side should be ok.
    The problem lies with Unbranded and cheap memory modules.
    The novatech ram is unbranded and cheap  .
    You should have gone for a make like Kingston, the HyperX series are very good.
    I would recommend the HyperX PC2700 that I am using, it is capable of running at 434Mhz so if oneday you upgrade to an XP3200+ CPU (200Mhz FSB) you can set the ram to 400Mhz and it is guaranteed to work.

  • Z87-GD65 USB and ATA/ATAPI Bridge Issues

    I just installed a new Z87-GD65 into a Silverstone HTPC case and I'm having weird issues with all USB 3.0 ports. This problem occurs on both a Windows 10 technical preview install and a Windows 8.1 install. Everything is updated including the BIOS and, as far as I can tell, installed properly. I used Live Update 6 to verify the integrity of the motherboard drivers and BIOS version. I also double checked the build for any potential shorts or incorrectly plugged in devices and everything seems to check out.
    Basically, what seems to be happening, is the computer is constantly losing connection with the USB 3 ports and is re-"scanning" to gain connection again. This makes all the USB 3 ports useless for any media or storage device and is extremely annoying when used with a mouse and keyboard. This "re-scanning" if that is what it is, is also causing all the i/o ports to freeze for a second or two so if I let's say, double click on a folder and this "scan" occurs, it takes a few seconds for the the folder to open. I also notice that a storage device plugged into any USB 2.0 port is more sluggish than usual and there is an overall delay in all mouse/keyboard input. This is a new motherboard and a new build although I have used all this external equipment and some internal with another computer with no issues at all.
    System Specs:
    PSU: 850w Coolermaster with front panel fan control
    Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65
    CPU: Intel i5 4670k
    Video Card: MSI GTX 770
    RAM: 16GB of G-Skill Sniper series memory
    Storage/Media:
    128GB Samsung SSD (OS)
    2x128Gb Crucial SSD Raid 0 (Games)
    1TB Western Digital black (general programs)
    2x2TB Western Digital Green (storage)
    I also have a Medisonic 4-bay USB 3.0 enclosure with 3x2TB drives and one 3TB drive.
    If this is a Windows issue I'll re-install Windows 7 but if this is a hardware/driver issue I'd like to know how to fix it if possible as I can't return or exchange the board.

    Everything works, or is at least detected, fine in BIOS. I already messed with the hand off settings and no dice.
    I got tired of dealing with it so I formatted an installed Win 7 unfortunately the problem is still there. It's much less pronounced so I can actually use the computer without the weird freezing and stuttering issues but any time I try to transfer and or unzip any large file windows will lose connection and I'll get a "USB device has Malfunctioned" error. This does not happen on my other PC, unfortunately I need the hard drive bay on this PC.

  • Z87-GD65 USB 3.0 Issue

    I've owned a Z87-GD65 for about a month now, and USB 3.0 has connection issues:
    I have an external usb 3.0 harddrive that will randomly disconnect and reconnect several times a day.  It also tends to disconnect when waking from hibernation or sleep mode.  The harddrive doesn't have this problem when plugged into the USB 2.0 ports. 
    Troubleshooting completed:
    Tested multiple usb 3.0 ports with the same result.
    Tested harddrive in usb 2.0 ports with no issues.
    Flashed motherboard BIOS to newest version with no change in results.
    Disabled power saving mode for both the harddrive and the usb 3.0 controllers with no change in results.
    Uninstalled and reinstalled latest drivers for the usb 3.0 controller with no change in results.
    The intermittent nature of this problem is beyond frustrating.  What can I do?  Do I need to RMA the board?

  • 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.

  • Kt4v possible problem with bios 1.8 and hd

    Any Idea anyone with this one.
    system running well till the other day when hd went very slow even after defrag, install bios 1.8 and reset the bios and adjusting it for my setup. Come to check my harddrive with maxtor powerdiag 3.04 and could not find the drive or any other drives connected. In the bios setup the drive is present. I removed all drives, cdroms, etc except the maxtor main hd and tried again with the same result. After placing in an ata100 controller card in to a spare pci slot and plugged the hd on to it, that the software sees the drive. The test finished and show the HD to be fine.
    The question is do I have a problem with the onboard contoller or with the new bios or both.
    When I first got this MB I did the same test with the original bios and the hd connected to the MB controller and the software had no problem seeing that and other drive connected.

    I'll stick with the V1.10, but I'd fell better if MSI showed me they actively update their systems by releasing updated BIOS files from time to time.
    I can't sell a 15000$ storage system that doesn't recognise the CPUs installed. The customer would laugh and tell me to come back with a supported system.
    Isn't this a VERY valid reason for wanting updates? Even if it only is an updated CPU list?
    The only reason I tried this MSI board is that it was the only one available with my retailer at the time I bought it with 3 PCI-X 100Mhz slots. Maybe I should go with a Tyan Thunder next time. Tyan at least show some activity.

  • Will Z87 GD65 Gaming boot with 4790k in order to update BIOS?

    So, I have a Z87 GD65 Gaming motherboard.
    I was planning on buying a 4770k cpu, but changed my mind to 4790k. The motherboards supports 4790k in the last release of BIOS.
    Do i have to buy a supported CPU (or send to a local store) to update BIOS or can I boot directy with the 4790k and update?
    Thanks.

    board needs to be at least at bios 1.9 to even post with a Haswell refresh cpu. While 4790K is officially supported with the later bios 1.A it should at least post with 1.9. Therefor a boar manufactured before 2014-02-24 will not work out of the box with a 4790K and a supported Haswell cpu to flash or update by a shop will be needed to use the cpu.

  • Will the Z87-GD65 GAMING + bios update support an i7 4790K

    Hi,
    I was checking MSI official webpage for the Z87-GD65 GAMING, and seems the last bios 1.9 2/14/14 says,
    Quote
    Support Next Generation Processors.
    But no direct info if it supports the i7 4970K, i been very happy with 4770K but my Blue Iris camera server is asking for quad core to increase the framrates, so i could upgrade my main pc and move the 4770K but before committing, would be good to know my motherboard will support the CPU.
    Thanks for your time,

    General consensus is the 4790k is a Haswell 4770k rebranded with better TIM and higher clock rate. It should work right out of the box on Z87. Should know for sure around the 25th of this month at the CPU release and people start testing it.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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 --USB Headet not working and cant bios

    Ok, i have a z87-gd65 and my usb headset will not work at all in SLI. I take one card out, it then seems to work..sumtime, must take it in and out everytime i restart PC and hopes it works.
    After some research I seem to need 1.4 or higher beta bios to solve this problem however after following your guides to the letter the board refuses to update bios. When you click the file through MFlash the system just freezes. Im worry even it 1.4 or higher bios come out of beta and are standard I will still not be able to update the bios and i'll be still in my first predicament...no usb sound working.
    Please help...or should i just RMA the board??

    USB stick bootable? If not, use the forum tool 'Fix My USB Key' option first. USB stick formatted FAT32? Follow the instructions in the link.
