Z97 Gaming 5 - SATA not present??

Well so far I've had no luck with this motherboard. Tried every single SATA port and it simply won't recognize that my SSD and HDD are installed. Even tried switching from AHCI to IDE, still nothing. Any thoughts? It's a brand new SSD that hasn't even been used yet, states that it's "not present". Cheers.

The thing is: cheap PSU that you've used in old build is most likely not support Haswell (Refresh) so that might be causing different issues too. And personally: yes I will defend it til the death. Cheap PSU can kill anything instantly, and the fact it works with old system... well. It's OLD system and so is PSU.
Also you're mixing RAM. This motherboard will work perfectly with either 1, 2 or 4 RAM sticks, never 3.
I think you should speak to the reseller OR MSI, since you think that motherboard killed all the drives (I wonder how... mobo is connected to them only through SATA cables which deliver NO power to them)..

MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC Not picking up GTX 560 Card

Just upgraded my PC to a Z97 Gaming 9 AC Board along with a i7 4790k and a Corsair 750RM Power supply + Coolermaster Stryker Case. I completed the build up last night and when I switched it on, it would not actually pick up my GTX 560 card at all, and when I went to the BIOS and checked the plugged in feature, it shows the PCIe slot is empty, but my GPU is plugged in, also tried all the PCIe slots, and there is nothing in Device Manager, just the Intel HD 4600.
What I Tried:
Set it to PEG, still nothing
Updated the BIOS to latest version
Tried the GPU in diff PC and it worked.
Tried a diff power supply in my new PC and still same thing, not picking it up.
So I don't know what to do anymore, also did a fresh install of windows 8.1.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

Fixed, was a bad connection with the WiFi adapter to the motherboard, just re-inserted it properly and now GPU is working aswell.
can you explain it better?
what connection wifi adapter has with the video card recognition?

Re: z97 gaming 7 Motheboard not powering on

Hi
Try outside of the case on motherboard box.
Also if possible try different PSU. Check all the connectors too if they are seated properly.

Z97 Gaming 9 AC not registering Video Card

Motherboard doesn't see the video card, I've updated Bios twice, board had ver 1.0 installed then upgraded to 1.7 and now to 1.7B1, replaced the video card with others 780i, 680, 580 they all work on other motherboards including the 980.
Have cleared CMOS a few times. Only video output is coming from the cpu itself. Have tried different power supplies, changed wiring, different memory sticks, single stick etc. Board Explorer in bios doesn't show any of the video cards since first boot-up thru my changing all the parts I could think of, they all work in other rigs. Can't think of anything else to troubleshoot.
Took it out of case and did the bare stuff, keyboard, mouse, boot drive and video card and still no dice. Anything I might be missing?

Z97 Gaming 7 - Intel SATA ports, devices not present

I've attached a Samsung 850 Pro, and WD Black drives to the Intel SATA ports but the BIOS never recognizes them. When I put the drives into the ASMedia SATA ports, I see the drives and can start the windows install. I have GSKILL memory installed, but changed to the recommended settings and I still don't see the drives on the Intel SATA ports. I've also upgraded the BIOS, cleared the CMOS, changed the SATA and power cables, all to no avail.

MSI GTX980 Gaming sometimes not recognized by MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC

I have been experiencing a very odd problem with my new hardware.
Hardware
Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC
CPU: Intel Core i7-4790
CPU-cooler: Scythe Mugen 4
RAM: G.Skill RipjawsZ F3-17000CL9Q-16GBZH
Videocard: MSI GeForce GTX 980 4GB GAMING 4G
PSU: Seasonic X-660 80+ Gold
SSD: Crucial M550 2,5" 1TB
Monitor#1: LG 34UM95-P
Monitor #2: Eizo Foris FG2421
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Issue description
The thing is that with 2 monitors connected the videocard is not recognized on a cold boot, but boots perfectly most of the time after a restart. In some cases a restart doesn't do the trick. I have even seen a couple of times that the monitor shows that windows starts and then the monitor loses the signal from the videocard before I can see the desktop (rare). With just 1 monitor attached the videocard is recognized. Als the IGP works fine, it's just the videocard that doesn't seem to be recognized when 2 monitors are connected (all combinations of DP, HDMI and DVI). When the computer has booted after one or more restarts and the videocard is recognized the computer works flawlessly, no problems whatever I do with it (desktop work, stressing hardware, playing games, etc.). Not a single sign of instability.
It's just the cold boot and sometimes the soft boot or restart that causes the videocard to not being recognized with 2 monitors connected.
What makes it really weird to me is that when the computer goes into sleep mode I can wake it up normally within say 10 minutes. But if I wait for let's say an hour the videocard is not transmitting a signal through the videocard.
When IGP is enabled the computer boots and windows loads normally (I hear the sound of the Windows login), although the monitors stay black when connected to the videocard. Then switching the connectors from the videocard to the motherboard shows me a normal Windows login screen, but the videocard is not visible in the device list. When the IGP is disabled to bootup sequence just hangs until a restart works and the computer boots normally with the videocard getting recognized and working properly.
Click sounds
I noticed the motherboard makes 4 click sounds when booting, like relays flipping. I think it has to to with distributing power to al the components, since it looks like components respond to the click by turning led lights on. But I have to say I've never come across a motherboard before that makes click sounds. Is this normal?
Tried fixes
- Replaced the RAM with 100% working RAM from my other computer (Corsair Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9) -> problem persists
- Disabed XMP -> problem persists
- Replaced the PSU with another one (Cooler Master V550 Semi-Modular) -> problem persists
- Reinstalled the videocard physically -> problem persists
- Tried several combinations of connecting the 2 monitors to the videocard (all DP ports, HDMI and DVI) -> problem persists
- Replaced the videocard with a MSI GTX970 Gaming (connected with 1xDP and 1xHDMI) -> problem persists
Conclusions so far
The cause can be found in the videocard or motherboard (probably BIOS issue).
Who can shed some light on this issue?

Try all PCIE slots no luck? Does the black screen always happen on one certain monitor or both?
I tried both the first and the second PCIe slot. No difference except for the fact that in the second slot the card only works at x8 bandwidth.
Quote from: jotan.va on 24-November-14, 18:05:51
BTW - Did anybody try to remove the wifi module from the board and then test?
I didn't install the wifi module in the first place.
UPDATE
I returned the motherboard to the webshop I bought it from and sent my cpu, ram, psu and videocard (GTX980) with it so they could test it. They found out that the videocard is the problem. So now I have to send the videocard to the webshop it bought that from. However, I am suspecting that it's just a VBIOS problem and not some fault in the hardware itself. On the other hand, it would be very strange that MSI would release a videocard that cannot work with one of their own top motherboards, wouldn't it?

Hi
What you can do is either:
-Return the board (RMA)
-Try to straighten it yourself using needle, magnifying glass and bright light
-Ask local jeweler if they can straighten it up for you.

GTX770 graphics card not recognised - Z97 Gaming 5

I have a GTX650Ti and a GTX770 into my Z97 Gaming 5. The GTX650 works fine, but the 770 is not recognised by the board at all.
I tried the 770 in every slot, with or without the 650.
I tried swapping the power cables to both cards and it did not make a difference,
I then removed the 770 and put it in the board I was replacing, using the same cables and power supply and it worked fine.
The BIOS has been updated to version 1.3
I checked the board explorer in the BIOS and it shows that slot as empty.
Any clues why this would happen? Is there anything I need to do to get this card to work?

SATA Ports 3, 4, 5 and 6 'Not Present'

yeah, basically the title
Had this P67-C45 since February, with an HDD and DVD in SATA ports 1 and 2 - chucked an SSD in recently on the cable the DVD had been using no problems
new SATA cable arrived for the DVD drive today - plugged it into ports 3, 5 and 6 with no result
in the BIOS all four SATA II ports are marked as 'Not Present'
something is wrong with that
please help

Quote from: ParaDismal on 03-December-11, 02:36:45
B2, but I doubt it's the cougar point issue because these ports have only seen a month or so of use back when I first built the PC and I ran an HDD health test not long before I stopped using them and it came out fine and dandy
If the SATA II controller is enabled in the UEFI/BIOS, then it 'is' a chipset issue. Recommend the mainboard be replaced with a B3. It is possible you may be able to migrate your OS HDD without having to do a fresh install. Depending on your location, a cross ship may be possible that would minimize the down time.

Z97 Gaming 7 MB, Wireless mouse not charging when plugged in.

Hi all. I recently upgraded my MB from an Asus Max hero VI to a Z97 Gaming 7.
I've been using a logitech G700 wireless mouse. Now before the MB upgrade, I could plug the mouse into it's cable, switch off my PC and the next day it'll be fully charged, ready to unplug and use for an extended period. Now after the MB upgrade to the gaming 7, I plug the mouse into the cable at the end of the day but this time the next morning I can't unplug and use the mouse without the cable because it has no battery power. So I'm wondering if there is a feature or option on the MB that I can switch so the mouse charges overnight when I plug it in and the PC is off?
Please help,
Damian

Hi,
As far as I know, there's a USB connector (i'm not sure it's JUSB1 or 2...) on your MB, normally it's red, and can support charging when the PC is off. So, first make sure your front USB panel is on JUSB connector, then you can charge your mouse using these ports. Or other USB ports (like back panel ones) can only charge when the PC is on.
Hope this could help.

Z97 Gaming 7 Not Reading CPU Temps

I have had the Z97 Gaming 7 installed since July/2014 and had no issues. Today when I booted up I noticed that the debug LED was not displaying the CPU temp just "00". In the bios it also does not display the CPU temp but the system temp is displayed. In AIDA64 the CPU temp is stuck at 40c but it shows all the single core temps correctly.
I have removed the boards battery, cleared the CMOS and updated the BIOS to 1.80. Still showing "00" when booted up and no CPU temps in the BIOS. Can't understand whats going on here, could it be a dead sensor on the board? Some help would be appreciated.
System Specs:
Windows 8.1 64
Samsung 840 Evo 1TB
i7 4790K
MSI Z97 Gaming 7
Corsair Vengeance 1866 16MB
PowerColor PCS+ R9 290
Creative SB X-Fi Titanium HD
NZXT Kraken X61

Thanks Nichrome. Unfortunately here where I live, that is not an easy thing to do as there are not to many IT places i would trust to have this done. I guess I'll have to look around to see if I can borrow a Z97 board or a Haswell Processor to rule out with component needs to be RMA'd.
If any one else can add any more insight I would be grateful.

Z97 gaming 7 : the speaker not "beep" at start

Hello,
I'm french, sorry for my english.
I have a Z97 gaming 7 motherboard, and she's arrive without any speaker/buzzer.
So I buy buzzer (speaker) for motherboard, and I connect it right way (the arrow on the +... or red wire on the +)
Always not beep.
I try another buzzer, and another again (they works all on other motherboards)...
Always not work (no "beep") on this MB...
I try in the other way (arrow on ground)... not work again!
I try 3 bios revisions = not works!
I think is a software not activate the beep... (in the UEFI bios)
How activat it please?
Thank in advance!

Quote from: Nichrome on 03-May-15, 06:32:16
Don't really understand it.. if it works fine, it works.
If doesn't work, you got LED debug on the motherboard which will tell you error, and at least you don't have to listen to it but just write down the code.
Ansd if it works fine, it need to beep to confirm it...
Because if you have any problem aren't report at begin, and if this problem touch the part of speaker... pc don't beep!
The simple beep is the confirmation of "all right"!
If I push button to start, and a consumer arrive, i'm not behind the pc (just an exemple)... the pc starts with an error... my harddrives and ssd have a power courant instable and break down...
The first simple beep is just a security to confirm all is clear in hardware, bios start up and can use security (switch off) if any hardware pb detecting!
So, I understand... I choose msi because is the low price solution, but next time, I choose better :/
(I came from abit (AB9 PRO, KN8 ultra, etc...) and there super-equiped MB... so... it's a chok for me...)
