Z87-GD65 Windows 8 64 bit issues

I am getting freezes sometimes when i launch an application (cpuid etc..) the screen freezes, cant move mouse or do anything, and then it comes back and goes about normally. Is there problems with the drivers and windows 8/8.1? I thought about upgrading to 8.1 and see if that helps. What BIOS is the most stable currently? I have 1.7 installed and seem to be having more issues then when i flashed...Also i have the logitech G930 usb headset and everytime i reboot, it drops the device and reconnects it over and over for about 10 iterations before finding the device..its really annoying.

I have been using 1.7 since its release and it's working fine, but I'm using win7 64bit though. I only have a minor problem that kicks in every one in a while--after boot sometimes my USB keyboard and razer mouse that is connected on the USB 2.0 ports won't respond/doesn't light up and so I have to reset the pc to fix it. What I did to permanently fix this is to enable wake up on USB in the bios power management settings.

Z87-GD65 BIOS A Issue

New to the forum and MSI boards.
This happened about a month ago when I was using "Live Updater" (I know, BIG mistake). My system crashed during the update and would not restart afterward. The screen would just go black then the system would restart and sit with a black screen. At the the time I needed my system running and just booted up using BIOS B. Everything worked and is working fine when using BIOS B. So now that I have a little extra time on my hands I decided I would fix the corrupted BIOS, but I'm unable to get the USB drive to boot. I tried the method of booting with the good BIOS and then flipping the switch to the failed one and flashing from the USB drive. It got about 50% and my system reset with the same black screen. My debug is coming up with code 36. Any ideas?

Last week I replaced a defective Z77-GD65 with a new one. Since the first one came without an operational BIOS last August (I fixed that somehow with a BIOS-update on a memory stick, but I can't remember how I did that!) I just assumed the BIOS on the new board would be outdated too. So after a succesful trial boot-up I updated the BIOS (10.8 to 10.10).
After that, I could no longer boot into Windows: soon after starting the OS-boot the system would restart. Back to 10.8 I have had no more trouble. I am thinking the newest BIOS-version is no good.
Are you talking about a Z77 and not a Z87 as listed in the topic title? Did you post in the wrong thread?

MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming - Audio issues

Something keeps crashing the Windows Audio Service in Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
This is a fresh install of Win 7 Pro 64, using just the standard software that came on the MSI supplied CD.
I go into the "Sound" menu on control panel, do *anything* at all.. and all my devices disappear in front of my eyes.
I go into the Realtek HD Audio Manager, do *anything* at all, and all my devices disappear in front of my eyes.
I go into the Sound Blaster Cinema program, do *anything* at all, and all my devices disappear in front of my eyes.
In all cases, this is because the Windows Audio Service is crashing or stopping. It's set to "automatic" in services.msc, it runs for a moment. But the minute I go to make *any* changes which require the Windows Audio Service to function, it crashes.
I have tried downloading the latest driver package from Realtek.. Installs fine, but same issue.
I have tried disabling potentially competing audio devices in the Windows Device Manager... these would be the "Nvidia High Definition Audio" and "Nvidia Virtual Audio Device (Wave Extensible) (WDM).. No change.
I tried disabling the digital output on the Realtek.. No change.
I really need some help with this one.. I'm at my wits end. Suggestions?

Good call there, Bmxjumperc..
Uninstalled all the realtek software, Windows automatic bits took over.. a few configurations, and bam.. I now have 5.1 audio coming out where it's supposed to.
Which makes me really really wonder why, if Microsoft can do this with generic drivers, that a company like Realtek can't build a driver package to save their ass for hardware that they *designed and built*??
Somebody in their customer service dept is gonna have a bad day here in a few min. *chuckles*
Thanks for the help!

MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Raid Issues.

Hi All,
I have been trying to setup a raid using the Intel raid controller. Its finished initializing, but the speeds I am seeing are terrible.
They usually are down about 20MB/sec, but I have seen them drop to 10MB/sec and below.
Individually writing to each hard drive is fine, each has been tested and has no bad sectors.
But when I combine then into raid, speeds go down the drain.
Does anyone have any pointers as to get me closer to proper speeds?
Thanks,
Smashwa.
* EDIT * Should have mentioned that I'm using all the latest drivers available from the MSI website, along with the latest BIOS.

Quote from: Mummy on 22-March-14, 02:50:17
Hi there,
What is your hardware sepcs?
What OS you are running?
What form of RAID you have put them and in what setup?
and what you use to test them?
Cheers, Mummy
Hi Mummy (that sounds weird....)
Specs:
I7 4770
Z87-DG65
16GB Corsair RAM
OS is Windows 7.
I have 5 drives setup in a Raid5, with 64k blocks. All drives are Western Digital 2TB Red WD20EFRX.
Each drive test fine with both HD Tune and Windows copy speeds are as expected. But when I add them to raid and test, its shocking. Sata cables are all new that came with the mobo.

Z87 GD65 Killernetwork driver issue.

Hey,
So I downloaded the driver from the site, and this is what it shows -
however, when I run liveUpdate 5, it says that the driver is NOT the most updated one ( 1.0.30.1003 is shown there), and even if i download the file through the liveupdate software, install it, and run liveupdate5 again, it says that my driver is still not up to date.
What am I suppose to do ? Please help me if possible.
Thank you so much in advance.

Quote from: efsenable on 10-March-14, 23:39:55

Hey,
So I did what was written on that thread, but the driver date and version did not get altered.
Can you confirm that I'm running the most updated driver version, please ?

Z87-GD65 Network adapter issues

Several times each day I encounter a BSOD relating to the network adapter/drivers (e22w8x64.sys) and from a cursory search on here it seems I'm not the only one.
Advice seems mixed and I'm yet to see anything definitive from MSI but the common solution adopted by others seems to consist of using "Killer cleaner" and then installing "Killer Suite" direct from Qualcomm's website but this just makes things worse for me at least.
I assume the purpose of killer cleaner is to remove all traces of the previous driver and I assume killer suite contains the latest and most up-to-date drivers but once I restart the system, as prompted, I have internet connectivity for about 3 seconds before it changes to "limited connectivity" and stays like that. Device manager assures me that the NIC is working correctly but it simply refuses to change from "limited connectivity" regardless of what I try.
Any suggestions?

If only I could stop the BSOD's.

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)

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.

Z87-GD65 Reboot Issue

I've been having a bit of a strange issue with my new board (Z87-GD65) since installing it. Anytime I perform a reboot, the computer will stayed powered on as it normally should, however the display will disconnect and not display on the monitor. This is the case even outside of Windows (as I first discovered it when rebooting before installing Windows on it at all). The computer will turn on and display video normally when turned on from being completely powered off, however when doing so from a reboot, my monitor displays a "no signal" message, and displays nothing. This continues to happen when switching between the two DVI ports on my card (even when switching them in the middle of the issue).
Again, this only happens when restarting the computer, whether from inside of Windows or not. The result is that I end up having to do a hard shut down, and turn back on the computer.
I have flashed my BIOS with the most up to date version, and I have not tried any over clocking yet, so short of the BIOS flash, all of the settings are on their defaults.
Hardware Used:
Z87-GD65 Board
Intel Core i5 4590S
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti
Corsair Vengeance Pro Series RAM, 2x4 GB DDR3 2400MHz
Seagate 2GB SSHD
Corsair GS800 800W PSU
Using On Board Audio, NIC, and USB
If it matters, or if it comes down to it being a power issue oddly enough, I'm also using an after market cooling system for my CPU.
Thanks to ANYONE who has any ideas as to what may be causing this.

I have exactly this issue, when I try and restart the screen shuts down and the pc keeps the powerbutton on..it just sort of hang with fans on.
There's no issue when it starts 'manually by clicking the startbutton'.
I updated the bios like different websites suggest, and like you did. I lean toward trying a new powersupply now since thats the only old thing left in my pc. Everything else is completely new.
This post was great inspiration on what to do to fix it.. however seeing that it didnt work for you I'm abit discouraged to be honest.
Maybe some of you have suggestions to what can be tried to fix it. What I tried :
- (my husband) Trying different settings. I cant recall them, i'm not that technical (then returning settings in the end to default, since the only reaction I got was the computer refusing to start my win7.)
- I have the newest driver for my 1150 board (ver. 1.20). Flashed it from an usb as the guide said.
Did you get your issue fixed?
Specs for my pc, appologies if it's lacking, typed what I understood.

Mine was never fixed. :/ After the last BIOS flash suggested in this forum, it won't even come on from a shut down, even with a brand new board (swapped it after I thought that update bricked it).
I was thinking the PSU, I just don't have another one to test and I know it worked fine in the old build. This whole thing has been a disaster.

Issues with bios 1A0 Z87-GD65

Hey !
so i updated my bios to the new 1A0 bios and since then I've got an issue with the PC that it wont shutdown or go to sleep.
I have to force shutdown by pressing the button and after that it works perfectly when i boot again.
The weird thing is last night i could shutdown fine after 16h idle. This has happened twice now so I'm checking if anyone else has the issue or that there is a known bug?

Wow that sounds like it sucks: I've been able to solve tons of problems with my computer, first Z87-G45 (never RMAed) it's been stable a few months and I expect it to be stable indefinitely. The first over four months an official NVidia driver was causing my computer to completely lock up about every six hours, this is the GeForce forms thread from that: https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/672846/?comment=4211121. It took me 4 months to finally catch nvstreamsvc.exe leaking, and ultimately lock up the computer. You can see at the end of the topic an NVidia rep says the bug is fixed in the latest version of GeForce Experience, that's all that NVidia had to comment on that bug (pretty pathetic support).
I figured out why the computer wasn't idling to sleep which is in my last reply.

I am just accepting that Intel Rapid Start doesn't work, but hopefully will with driver updates. Just like SLI in the beginning.
Those bugs I figured out on my own by hours upon hours of troubleshooting myself. No support phone call or e-mail was ever helpful at all in figuring out those bugs. Once in a while someone is helpful and is better than me but rarely. I hope you take that with a sense of humor, and I just thought I'd dump some troubleshooting solutions out there, if you ever run into anything.

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.

New Z87-GD65 USB Issues?

Trying to find out if I need to return a newly installed board to the store for an exchange. I have another PC, with this same board, that was built back in August, and it works great.
If I go into the BIOS, sometimes the USB drive is detected and sometimes not. Had to reboot 3 or 4 times to even get it to see a usb drive to load Windows 8.1.
In windows it will detect a usb flash drive about half the time. I have an ASUS N-53 USB Wireless stick that has only been detected one time. NOTE - All of the items I have plugged in work without fail, on the same board, in another PC. I thought it first it was maybe the front ports in the case (Fractal Design R4) but it has the same issue on the backside ports that are coming directly off the board.
I have reset the bios to defaults and also flashed the bios to latest. Also tried it on bios B to make sure it wasn't something specific to BIOS A. Since I was having the issues before even installing Windows, I'm going with a faulty board. Before I go through the trouble of returning the board, is their anything else I can do to check?

As a follow-up...
I went back to the store and did an exchange. The new board is working like a champ, so I assume the USB controller was bad on the original. Just got unlucky on that last one.
As I stated previously, this is my second Z87-GD65 and I really like it. I would recommend.

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,

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 Enable "Windows 8/8.1 Feature" = Won't boot, Disabled = Boots up

How do I enable Windows 8/8.1 Feature in the Z87-GD65 Settings? When I turn it on, Windows 8.1 no longer will boot. (see video below of what happens) Is this because I didn't have it enabled BEFORE I installed Windows? If so can I fix this without a re-install? My C: is a 120GB SSD. I have about 12 other 3TB Hard Drives installed as well with 2 secondary SATA cards installed.

Quote from: pandaz on 02-April-14, 13:46:01
I got the same problem before and after doing some research, I found out the ff. Info:
When set the Windows 8/8.1 Feature to Enabled then the system could only boot to Windows if your windows is installed using UEFI mode.
If you didn't install Win8 in UEFI mode then you will need to reinstall your Win 8.1 using UEFI mode.
The SSD drive was originally in a Zotac ZBOX ID84 mini-PC. I turned the zbox UEFI mode on before the install was done.
I transplanted the SSD drive into the new Z87-GD65 based computer. Windows 8.1 booted right up (only after a firmware update)
So technically yes, UEFI mode was enabled, but was a different computer. (but then again maybe it wasn't?)
Will the computer boot faster if I reinstall from scratch with Windows 8/8.1 Feature enabled? What else works better/faster with this feature enabled? (more stable etc?)
Basically, is it worth the hassle of starting fresh? I have a very complicated home server/media center combination setup.

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?

This is a user to user forum. Admin and moderators are just simple MSI product users just like you and me. You want to call me a ? Be my guest. Due to forum rules I can't call you or the other poster what I really think after that comment.
You were rude for no reason whatsoever. If you don't like being called a , you shouldn't act like one. It is tragic that I have to explain this to you.
Then you escalate the situation with the promise of naughty words to both me and yet another stranger that has done absolutely nothing to provoke you? Are you really not seeing why you were called a and then laughed at when you got defensive about it?
