Z87-GD65 problem with USB3

I just bought some new pieces to upgrade my PC, including the Z87-GD65 mobo, i5-4670K CPU and a Samsung SSD 840 PRO 256 GB drive.
Everything went smooth, installed Win 7, all updates, drivers etc.. ran for a day.
Next day i wan't to move the cabinet into my closet, which i do, turn it on and i get a AE error, claiming "hardware device is missing"..!?
A few hours later, i conclude, that when ever i put one of my USB(2) devices, like keyboard, mouse, headset into any of the USB3 ports, the BIOS forgets everything about my SSD (primary disc)...
Sofar i have solved it by pluugging it all in my USB2 ports.
Any had this before or know what the cause could be and if there is a fix ?

  What USB3 drivers are you using?  Did you use the one on the CD?  MSI should have updated drivers on their webpage, and intel web probably has newers than MSI, try all drivers.
But tbh i had a similar thing happen on me on GT70One, i used the newer ones form intel and had some issues with messages of windows displaying not correctly installed, and some other things that i dont remember, all this were solved by using the latest from the MSI webpage, but i did reformat since the drivers created a mess that i couldn't uninstall.
Personally i like to install the newest Chispset, RST and USB from intels website, but with MSI laptops and motherboards.... its weird.  Btw im doing a Z87 GA65 build today, so you would save me the time to test at least one driver if you tell me what drivers gave you the problem? Intels, CD or MSI webpage?

  • Z87-GD65 Problems - Currently Won't Boot

    So after slowly purchasing parts over the year, I finally have all my parts together, started the build and have run into multiple problems with my Z87-GD65 GAMING motherboard. First I tried using an Intel i5-4690K CPU. I would get power to the entire computer but no video signal. After looking through the forums here, I found the following post saying that I would need another CPU to flash the BIOS to a newer BIOS so the i5-4690K would be supported:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=181784.0
    Not being able to just borrow a spare CPU, I purchased an Intel Pentium G3220 just so I could flash the BIOS. Now, I put in the new CPU and the computer only gets power for a fraction of a second before shutting itself off. I'm getting extremely frustrated and feel like I just wasted another $50. Any kind of help would be appreciated.
    My specs are as follows:
    CPU: Intel Core i5-4690k (tried swapping with Pentium G3220
    CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
    Motherboard: MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming
    Memory: 16 GB (2 x 8GB) Kingston HyperX
    Video Card: Asus GeForce GTX 970 4GB STRIX (have tried with and without for both CPUs)
    Storage: 120GB Kingston HyperX SSD
    1TB Western Digital Caviar Black HDD
    Power Supply: Corsair CX600

    So after going to remove the motherboard from my case, I discovered that my JPWR2 became loose. I just plugged it in securely and now I finally have post. Totally explains why the unsupported CPU worked while the supported CPU didn't. I was able to flash the BIOS and now the i5-4690K is working. Now I feel like an idiot for not noticing it before. Thanks, guys for the help and for your patience.

  • Z77-GD65, problems with video signal

    Got some problem: with external graphics card (ASUS GTX660-DC2TG-2GD5) the signal disappears after a while (about 1-3 minutes) - display goes off and has floating table "No signal".
    Without external card, through the integrated video - all works fine.
    Has anybode had this problem?
    I had a BIOS like 10.0 and then updated it to the latest version ( 10.8 ) via M-FLASH, but nothing has changed.
    My system:
    . MSI Z77A-GD65 (RTL) LGA1155 < Z77> 3xPCI-E+Dsub+DVI+HDMI+GbLAN+1394 SATA RAID ATX 4DDR-III
    . CPU Intel Core i7-3770 BOX 3.4 ГГц / 4core / SVGA HD Graphics 4000 / 1+8Mb / 77 Wt / 5 / LGA1155
    . Corsair Vengeance < CMZ8GX3M2A2133C11R> DDR-III DIMM 8Gb KIT 2*4Gb < PC3-17000>
    . ASUS GTX660-DC2TG-2GD5
    . Corsair TX750 < CP-9020042-EU> 750W ATX (24+2x4+4x6 / 8pin)

    Yes, the forum's USB method is the safest there is. That and the reflash will ensure the ME firmware has been updated properly. Yes, you do have a safety net with the B BIOS chip.
    As a side note, you shouldn't have any graphics problems when W7 is installed like some have with W8.
    Edit: Problem is you need an OS installed with the forum method.
    2nd edit: Recommend then to run on the onboard ports to the monitor with the discrete card removed to get the OS, drivers, reflash, etc. taken care of. Then the matter of the graphics card not working right can be addressed.
    3rd edit: Has the graphics card been tested in another machine to verify it is not possibly faulty?
    4th edit: Sorry about all the edits, but as I think about it, more things come to mind. Have you been connecting the discrete card with HDMI or DVI? Some compatibility issue can be a possibility with a non compliant v1.4 HDMI cable or a monitor conflict. Some Apple monitors have been known to be problematic from time to time.

  • MSI P55-GD65 - Problem with automatic fan control.

    Hello.
    I wish to share story of my fan speed controller.
    Lately I've upgraded my machine to modern specs (look at signature) and I was quite happy about that.
    It worked flawlessly for about week.
    My H/W Bios settings was - CPU Smart Fan Target = 60°C and minimal fan speed 50%.
    I was amazed how nicely GD65 maintained between heat and speed.
    Yesterday, I've noticed that my fan is really quiet all the time, even when gaming (before it accelerate speed while hardcore gaming settings). I was quite content about that, until my computer crashed due to overheating while playing Battleforge match.
    After reboot I've ran Intel BurnTest and HWmonitor. OH my, what was my surprise when I saw that fan speed is always 50% and do not speeds up when cores are heating up!
    I started to checking things out. What I've discovered:
    -(CPU Smart Fan ON) Fan is always at minimal speed given in BIOS. It doesn't accelerate even if CPU is burning.
    -(CPU Smart Fan ON) Fan speed cannot be controlled by any program (like SpeedFan).
    -(CPU Smart Fan OFF = 100% fan speed) Fan speed CAN be controlled by program like SpeedFan, which saves me from fan buzzing.
    I've try to fix that by:
    -Checking cables.
    -Clearing CMOS.
    -Updating BIOS to 1.6.
    -Praying.
    And still nothing.
    My conclusion:
    Fan speed cannot be change when Smart Fan is on, it locks fan speed at minimal speed given in bios.
    Now I just hoping that this is somehow stock fan fault, new Zalman CNPS 10X QUIET is in delivery.

    No problem here with Target 55° and Speed 37.5%.
    Fan runs at 1330 below 58° and 2050 above which is max.
    The CPU is running at 3050 MHz because of XMP 'overclocking'
    Have reverted to BIOS version 1.3, due to XMP problems with other versions.

  • Z87-GD65 Stuttering with GTX 970

    Just got a MSI Golden 970 and I've had a Z87-GD65 mother board and when I upgraded my GPU I noticed games like assassins creed unity I was getting stuttering and less than 60 FPS in the menu's when customizing my outfit my FPS would drop into the 20's. So I knew something was wrong right away when league of legends had a FPS drop into the 40's during combat for a split second.

  • MSI P67A-G45 (B3) - Problems with USB3 & Updates & card reader, etc.

    Hi, I have the MSI P67A-G45 (B3) motherboard and I'm still having problems with it (as from day one). 
    1) I still seem to have some problems with stability with the USB.  I updated the drivers for the Renesas USB to the latest (2.1.39.0) from the station-drivers website,
    I was thinking of grabbing the firmware update as well.  But I wasn't sure if I should.  The page also shows firmware updates for uPD720200 & uPD720200a, and I'm not sure which one is in my motherboard.  Should I update?  If so, which one is in my MB, uPD720200 or uPD720200a?
    2) I'm also having trouble updating the Intel ME Driver and the Intel INF Update (although I'm googled that the INF update doesn't really matter).
    3) I can't seem to get the firewire port working with my WD Home 2TB external HDD (it works through USB though).
    4) I have an old internal flash card (SDHC/MS/MMC/etc.) reader from another desktop that I wanted to add to my MSI one.  Is it possible to do so?  Where would I plug it in? 
    5) Is there anything else I need to update: software or firmware?  I've generally updated the stuff listed in the Live Update (except for the stuff I never installed).
    Thanks.  Please answer any of the questions if you can.

    Update the firmware and re-test:
    >>Firmware and BIOSes<<
    Scroll to the bottom of the page at that link and flash the USB controller firmware.
    Thanks, Renesas update seems to have taken.  Let's hope it's more stable. 
    I have a Core i5-2500k Sandybridge processor.  Is there a point to me updating the BIOS & Management Engine to the latest?  The support page for my MB says don't bother unless I have an Ivybridge processor?
    Quote from: XFM on 13-June-13, 05:56:07
    What PC is the card reader from? Some of those card readers such as from Sony & Dell will only work in the respective brand PCs they came from and not any other. I have one I removed from a Sony and it will not work in my rig. If the card reader is a normal 3rd party model purchased from a store it should work but may require drivers from the manufacturer of it. As far as plugging in a card reader they go to an internal USB header on the MB.
    The old desktop was from computer maker Cisnet. 
    I plugged the 5-hole (or rather 4 holes, since one is blank) plug into JUSB1, but it seems to keep connecting and disconnecting in Windows 7 x64. Windows made drives for all 4 card slots, but whenever I put a memory card in, it would just connect and disconnect and the memory card would never show up.  Is it a driver problem? 
    It's a Foxconn internal card reader, except I can't seem to figure out which model it is despite googling (not indicated anywhere on the card reader). 
    Don't really want to cough up $15-$20 for a new card reader, so I'm hoping to get this one to work.  Thanks.

  • Z77A-GD65 Problems with Ethernet (Intel 82579V) Code 10 and 55 error

    it is just a day with disaster. I bought Z77A-GD65 yesterday, and now it almost driver me crazy , i have two most famous problem of the board ,the CODE10 and ERROR 55!!!
    after i bought this board to home ,i spend few hour to figure out the reason why the system can not be booted.
    the DIMM SLOT 3&4 of my board is malfunction,no matter what combination i use (1&3,2&3, 3&4...etc),but it works for 1 and 2(i have 4 ram sticks,all of them is fine)
    i do upgrade to BIOS 10.5(thx god ,i have two computer ,otherwise i cant even do it because of following issue)
    after i solve the problem by only plug in 2 ram (DIMM1&2), succeed to boot up, a new problem occurred to me ,the CODE10!
    latest driver , clean system install ,cmos cleaned, does not help.
    i have read this thread for code10
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=158591.msg1167303#msg1167303
    and  for error55
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=158224.0
    it seems the best way to solve it is RMA.
    I notice that there is an Authorized Motherboard Repair Center (East Coast):
    361 Alden Road
    Markham, Ontario, L3R 3L
    i live in Toronto, can i just go there and give the board to them  to fix it or i can only mail it?
    If i need to mail it ,what should i do?

    Code 10 means the device cannot start. You have the right driver for the Intel 82579V is shorted by either a motherboard screw or a raiser under it. The ethernet adapter has lights which light up id driver is installed (even though code 10 is in effect).
    Solution: Remove 1 or 2 motherboard screws and turn the pc on. Repeat until you find out which screw caused the issue. For me it was the screw closest to the ethernet controller.
    The wa i fixed it was I was used a plastic washer and I was still able to have the motherboard screw in and at the same time not get code 10 anymore and my Intel 82579V worked fine since.

  • Share your O/C settings on your MSI Z87-GD65 board with I7-4770K CPU.

    I'd like to see what voltages people are using to O/C their 4770K CPU's on this board.
    What BIOS options are you changing from stock?
    I can use 4.5GHz at 1.185 volts with the MSI Intel Extreme Tuning utility for 1/2 hour sessions with no problems but it locks up BSOD on the Prime95 test with 8 threads in seconds.  I've jumped the voltages up to 1.25 for Prime95 testing, but it gives me the WHEA error in Windows and and gracefully reboots.   I can't go higher than 1.25 on voltage because even 1.25 hits 100C on my Corsair H70 watercooler in a few minutes and starts throttling the CPU.  I can use 1.2 volts without throttling, and it doesn't hit 100C, but 1.25 is too much.   The other thing I've tried is running the CPU at 1.1 volts and 4.2GHz.
    I'm curious what the rest of your guys have experienced?

    This is the wrong forum section for asking OC'ing questions and inquiries. There are a number of threads already on Z87 OC'ing here to review;

  • Z77A-GD65 Problems with Ethernet (Intel 82579V) Code 10

    Hi,
    on a fresh install of Windows 7 64bit i cannot make the Ethernet port on the motherboard work. It installs fine, but when i check device manager i see this message:
    This device cannot start. (Code 10)
    I downloaded the latest driver, but still no change.
    Looking in device manager, i noticed that the driver Windows had selected was Intel 82579LM, so i reinstalled the driver, and forced 82579V driver, but still no change. I assumed this must be a defect motherboard, so i rma'd it, and got a new one....with the same problem!!!
    So any ideas with to do ?

    Hello kaizerman,
    Are you in the US?
    Can you send the motherboard to me directly for analysis?
    If needed, I will replace the board for you through RMA service.
    Please email me at [email protected] but be sure to put my name in the subject field and your board model so it will come to me correctly.
    Sincerely,
    Warner
    Hi Warner
    Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately i'm not not in the US, i'm in In South Africa. Ive tried pro17 with no success... currently its showing the 82579V driver. but no still has the cannot start error code 10. I cant understand why it was working for a few days. then suddenly stopped. i made no hardware or software changes.
    regards
    Utterly perturbed 

  • Officejet Pro 8600 Plus: Scan to computer doesn't work with Win8.1 [solved: problem with USB3 Boost]

    Since I installed 8.1 (pro), I can't use my 8600 Pro software for scanning to the computer (via USB). It looks like there is no communication with the printer as for the scanning software, but printing works as usual.
    Tried to use the HP Printer Assistant: when I click the "Scan a Document or Photo" button, I get a "Scanner Unreachable" message. Also after a restart of the printer.
    When I try to scan from Photoshop, the system first finds the printer but then fails to connect to it.
    HP Update says that my system is up to date.
    HP Print And Scan Doctor 4.2 finds and shows the printer on the Welcome panel and seems to be able to communicate with it, to a point.
    It gives me a "Driver error" (sorry if is not called so in English--it takes over my keyboard language, which is French and says "Erreur du pilote") and states that no communication could be established between the scan driver and the printer, and that I should reboot the computer...
    So I did and reran the Doctor software, which gave me the very same error message. This time, I clicked "Ignore" and let it do its things. It ran a "Scan Test" twice and indicated that everything was fine or had been repaired. But strangely nothing happened on the printer during those "tests". And at the end, as it offered me to make a scan test myself, I clicked OK and I had the "Scanner Unreachable" error message again.
    So I made my scans on an USB key, as I had to do a few times already, and that went very well. But I'd be glad to have that "Scan to computer" function back. How?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi ajmch,
    I am sorry to hear that you are still having a scan issue. What antivirus program are you running on the computer? Can you try to scan through Paint and Windows Fax and Scan on the computer? When you run the HP Print and Scan Doctor what error message are you getting?
    In this document for Windows: HP Scan Software Does Not Open or Scan on a Printer Using a USB Connection are steps  for checking the WIA and for checking software.
    You can also Use the System File Checker tool to repair missing or corrupted system files that may resolve this issue.
    Let me know if this helped.
    Thank you,
    I worked on behalf of HP.

  • My HP 8740W has problems with USB3 ports, they only connect at USB2 speeds with a tested USB3 disk

    The two Superspeed USB3 ports on my HP 8740W have an error and won't connect at USB3 speeds , they default to USB2 transfer speeds. It appears that I have the latest NEC drivers from HP, but this version appears to be old compared to other manufacturers offerings.
    I have a new Samsung S2 1TB USB3 external disk that has been tested and is working.
    Could HP please update the USB3 drivers or give me an answer as to how to fix this issue. This is an expensive workstation class machine and I expect it to work without error.
    Your support would be much appreciated.

    Anyone have any ideas for me please?

  • P67A-GD65 problem with newest BIOS - no fan control settings.

    After instaling newest version (V1.16) of BIOS I cant find fan control settings (2 chasis fans + % of cpu fan). Theres only smart cpu target temp. and nothing else.
    is this some sort of bug, or MSI lost their minds?
    Oh, and CPU phase LED's are blinking like mad (those were not blinking at all before).

    Flash back to your previous BIOS  and report your finding to MSI.

  • 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.
