Z87-GD65 won´t boot.

When I press the power button on the MB, the mainboard lights up (A Bios light), and fans start spinning, this happens for a split second, then it just dies.
This is what I have done:
1. Disconnected every cable and visually checked motherboard and connections.
2. Tried the motherboard outside the chassis.
3. Relocated the memories. (Single and double)
4. Tried with an old PSU, and the new in my old computer. New one works.
5. Removed the CMOS battery and replaced it.
6. Shifted the RESET and ON/OFF button.
7. Removed the graphics card.
8. Removed the CPU and cooler and checked them visually. All pins are intact.
9. On-board display does not show any codes.
Any ideas? Board is still under warranty but I am hoping I don't have to wait that long to be up and running again. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

sounds like a bad motherboard, trying different kind/brand of RAM would help. also, I am assuming the CPU fan is firmly plugged in in "CPU fan header" on the board, right? is there 1 or 2 of those? try one RAM stick in all slots one at a time, then same with other stick. if all that fails, i would think it's a mobo.

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 won't Overclock

Got My Z87-GD65 back from RMA.When i try to set my 4770k to 4.2ghz in bios its reverts to 39 only.I have flash to latest bios and still same thing.It wont let me overclock at all.I switched to bios B,and still locked at 3.9ghz.Even OC Genie won't overclock it.Did i get a worst board than the one i RMA'd.The one i sent in had a bricked bios A,but B still worked.Even my ram i set the xmp profile to 2400,but only does 1600.

GSkill oh dear.
Use 1 RAM stick with GPUs of your choice. I am not just sure if 295X2 should be mixed with 290x.

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.

P55-GD65 won't boot with OC Genie activated

I have an P55-GD65 mobo that runs just fine with no problems except when I tried to activate the OC Genie. When I pressed the button and then tried to boot the machine -- it would begin the boot process then reboot over and over again without actually completing the boot process. When I pressed the OC Genie button again to deactivate it -- the machine booted just fine.
I've got Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed.
What is my problem and how do I fix it so the OC Genie works?
Thanks,
Crockett

What is your current BIOS Version?

What memory frequency, timings and Comman Rate does the BIOS set when everything is set to default (check with CPU-Z)?
The BIOS has a tendency to automatically set the Command Rate to 1T instead of 2T which causes stability problems in many cases.
Quote
If the RAM is running at 1600MHz the OC Genie won't work properly.
There is a flip site to this kind of observation: The CPU does not natively support DDR3-1600 and most modules sold as DDR3-1600 are actually just factory overclocked DDR3-1333 modules that require higher than standard voltages settings to have a chance to run stable. This in itself already is an inherently tricky situation that does not get better when you enable the OC Genie.

Z87-G43 won't boot from Windows 8.1 64-bit DVD UEFI

Hello,
I recently purchased a Z87-G43. I have just updated it to the 1.7 firmware (I was having no end of strange issues with the 1.6 firmware that came on the board, the BIOS menu items would disappear, but that seems to have been resolved with the update to 1.7).
Regardless, I am unable to boot from a 64-bit Windows 8.1 DVD in UEFI mode. The disc will boot fine in UEFI+Legacy mode, but I would like to use only UEFI mode if possible.
I have verified that the system will boot from a UEFI CD by using the GParted live CD.
Is this a known issue with this mainboard?
Board: Z87-G43
Bios: 1.7
VGA: MSI R7 260X
PSU: Powerman 500W (don't know the rails at the moment)
CPU: Intel Core-i5 4670
MEM: Corsair 1333 2x8 GB CMV16GX3M2A1333C9
HDD: Kingston SSD 120 GB, WD Green 2 TB
OS: None

Set the board to Legacy & UEFI
It should work then. If you are trying to do a UEFI installation, with SOME Optical devices it wont work. I usualy transfer all of the install files to USB stick along with the most recent drivers. The install is faster and drivers are already there for you.

Z77A-GD65 - Won't boot

Hi all,
I'm trying to boot my pc but for some reason doesn't work.
Board: MSI Z77A-GD65 ver. 2.1
Bios: ? (I do not know because I never get into the bios)
VGA: XFX ATI HD 5770 1Gb (tested with and without)
PSU: Corsair GS600 (CMPSU-600G)
Intel Ivy Bridge Core i7-3770K 3.5Ghz 8MB LGA1155 BX80637I73770K (tested and ok)
MEM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz - CMZ8GX3M1A1600C10 (tested with and without)
HDD: 2x Western WD10EARS 1TB Green (tested with and without)
COOLER: Cooler master V6 GT and intel stock cooler (tested both)
OC: none
OS: none
When I turn on my pc, LED1 lights up and after 5 secs restarts. When is restarting, two another leds blinks, one near multi-bios swtich and the other near JFP1.
No code appear on the debug display.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

>>Posting Guide<<
please give a more detailed list of parts your using in your machine as what you post is always the only thing we have to base any reply on as we do not have your actual machine to see what is there!
1: possibly bad or incompatible memory so what memory you using?
2: what PSU do you have as it may just be that there isn't enougth power to fuel the machine (give us the +12V rail/s rating/s)?
3: have you connected the 8pin CPU power header and is it fully seated?
4: have you tried the board outside of your case on a non conductive surface?
5: have you checked the CPU socket to see if any of the small connection pins are bent with a bright light and a magnifier as thats a common problem?

P67a-GD65 won't boot with over 12 GB RAM

Hello all,
I am running the P67a-GD65 with i5 2500k, GTX 570, 1T HD and 60Gb SSD. I had 16 GB (4/4Gb) of Hyper x 1600 MHz RAM installed and it was working for a while. Then the computer shut off in the middle of a game. I realized the video card fan was not working and swapped it out. However, with the 4 (4gb) Ram installed it would start up for a few seconds (fans, lights running) then shuts off...the cycle continues but never stays on nor long enough to reach the BIOS setup. I removed one 4gb Ram and its up and running. I was able to play BF3 and I have had no issues. Is there any reason why this happens? is it a setting in BIos that I need to fix or do I just need to swap out the mobo? I know its not the RAM because I exchanged them earlier today along with the Video Card. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Any word on when an updated BIOS will be released to fix this issue?
No, you need to check this thread regularly https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=144655.700
At this point flash back to the BIOS that did work. Use the forum flasher >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
and report your findings to MSI so that they can fix it and potentially release the BIOS that you are hoping for If everyone reports their findings then the chances are so much better to get a fix sooner rather than later.

MSI P67A-GD65 Won't Boot

Think my mobo might be DOA but not sure:
When I turned the machine on the first time It said ram configuration had changed and i needed to enter setup, when i pressed F1 to do so a _ appeared in the top left of the screen and flashed, it did this for 30 seconds then rebooted continually.
This is testing out of the main machine on carboard, with 1 stick of ram (4GB corsair Vengeance 1600 Mhz), Gfx card (MSI N480GTXM2D15), SSD (Corsiar Force F60), adn optical drive (Sony DVD-R). Any ideas?
Thanks,
Catherine
Edit: Forgot to mention PSU is a 750W Corsiar HX750

Well I tried reseting the cmos one last time before I took the motherboard out again, and this time it worked Now installing steam to test out this beast :D Thanks Guys!
Hugs,
Catherine
As above I briefly mentioned how I had the same problem related to the blinking cursor and how the computer would not accept keyboard commands.
Like you, I turned it on the following day, and suddenly, the commands worked. However as per my final notes here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=686c0a276dfe3aa420ae61e9b19a715e&topic=144799.0
it still was borked.
Fortunately you got yours to work, but given the amount of problems you(and I) had, I just wish we had a more concrete reason as to why this is happening.

Did you check the cpu socket for bent pins or damage? What codes does the board's onboard display show?

Z87-GD65 LAN Gigabit ethernet port issue

I just installed my new Z87-GD65 and it boots up just fine, but the LAN port is not functioning. The indication lights on the LAN port is not flashing at all.
Tried swapping network cable and tried to connect it to two different switches and a router, all with same result. Do I have a dead LAN interface on my hands?

What OS are you running?

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 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.
