Z97-GD65 mobo and Killer E2200 Ethernet controller issue

Hi there.
I recently bought a new board, a MSI Z97-GD65 Gaming and i'm happy with it, but I have a little problem I can't solve: My internet download rate is exactly 10MB/s when my connection can reach 20MB/s.
Following instructions of this forum I removed the Killer Ethernet Manager using the "Killer_clear(64bits)" and installed the stand-alone drivers for the Killer E2200 PCI-E Controller, but still suffering the same cut of download rate.
The only thing I could now is try to "transform" that controller into a "Qualcomm Atheros AR813X/AR815X/816X Series PCI-E Ethernet Controller", but I don't know if it would be the solution.
Anyone here has the same issue?
(BTW I use Windows 7 64bits FYI)
Thanks a lot!

Well, I bought a cheap PCI-e ethernet card, installed it, disabled the onboard E2200 killer, started Windows and I got 1,0Gbps in seven seconds without any other software installation need.
I don't know what's happening with Killer cards , maybe it's a driver issue or a faulty hardware, but i'm sure I won't buy in the future a motherboard that includes this network brand.
Honestly, I'm right there with you. I absolutely hate the Killer cards.....
Unfortunately, it's becoming harder and harder to get a motherboard without them, since all the OEM's seem to think that gamers want those cards on their computers. Personally, I hate them with a passion. The software is badly coded, and rarely works as expected.
The best thing I can suggest doing is using the drivers without the management software. This way you can still use the ethernet adapter, but not be limited by the management software. There should be a stickied post at the top of this forum I believe with information on it.

  • MSI Z87 G65 Killer E2200 Ethernet Problems

    I'm currently having a lot of trouble with the Killer Ethernet system while trying to set up my internet. I built my computer with an MSI Z87 G65 motherboard that has "Killer Embeded Ethernet E2200" and downloaded the drivers for it. I also have a Rosewill WiFi adapter in order to pick up wireless internet.
    Now my problem is this: My computer will always pick up a wireless connection, but the wired connection will only work once I install the drivers. After any type of reset or reboot, the computer doesn't pick up the wireless connection anymore. Here's the situation in a nutshell:
    All the drivers have been updated to the current version for Windows 8
    The connection HAS worked in the past, but simultaneously seems to just not show itself
    The Wired connection WON'T be shown in the Network and Sharing Options of Windows if the computer doesn't recognize it being plugged in (when it really is)
    Disabling Wireless settings DOES NOT show the wireless connection (I've been able to connect to both Wired and Wireless before)
    The Wired connection seemed to be working for a few days until a Windows 8 update seemed to raise the problem again.
    And that's about it. Uninstalling and Reinstalling the drivers has worked in the past, but then there comes a time where Windows just "decides" that it doesn't want to recognize the connection anymore. I'm wondering if there is a more permanent fix or a way that I can see the wired connection in another way to connect directly to it. Thanks for your help!

    Killer network is 'killed' under windows 8, otherwise, borked!
    There are a few threads about it, mine being here:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172930.0
    Gave up, and going to pick up a cheap network card today, one that will just work.
    I actually read through that same thread when I was still searching for answers. It's a shame that we have to resort to getting a new network card.  That's a huge disappointment. I'm going to try and go to Killer's chat support and figure it out this morning, but I probably will end up doing the same.  Thanks for your reply!

  • Z77A-GD65 mobo and ethernet port

    I recently rebuilt my computer using the Z77A-GD65 motherboard after my old one ( and my GPU) were killed by a bursting water cooler. I had a few problems setting it up, but the only problem left is that the ethernet port won't work. I'vr tried different drivers, both in Vista and Win7 but it won't work. Device manager recognises it, with an exclaimation mark, and properties says it cannot start with an error of D10 ( I think).
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks
    Paul
    Ooops. Sorry. Did a forum search and found nothing so I posted this query. Then I googled it and it brought me back to Msi forum. Still if you have any ideas, please feel free to let me know.

    I solved the problem with the Lan and the onboard sound at the weekend. I installed the mobo into a new Corsair Obsidian 750D case and everything started working. Except for the power switch and the power light, but that's probably my cack handedness. Thanks for your help.

  • Gaming 5 MOBO and Windows 8.1 update issue

    First build here. Very Novice.
    On initial windows install everything works. installed only my wireless card, and avast virus protect. When I go to update Windows it goes to download and then nothing happens. backed out and restarted. it shows updates needed on start screen. try to download again and nothing. go to restart again and it took like 20 mins to power off, and the screen goes blank but mobo still on and fans still running. performed hard restart and bios screen comes up then windows flag then black screen. they just continue to alternate.
    Wiped and started again with windows install and same thing.
    anyone else experience this? any thoughts?
    Build is :

  • P67A-GD65(B3) and drive upgrade (3TB, GPT) issues

    Hi,
    I was happy P67A-GD65 owner.. until now. I've bought 3TB single drive to replace old 2x1TB drives working as RAID-0.
    PC had no problems at all with detection new drive, I've connected it with SATA2 port&cable due to such case construction. I've partitioned it with GPT style = all fine.
    Troubles started once I wanted to clone RAID-0 partitions to new drive. MBR->GPT partitions are not an issue, but I've got 8 operating systems there (3xWindowses, 5xLinuxes), so I had to use two-stage bootmenu: first stage MBR-based (GRUB) with direct Linux starters + entrance to Windows menu, and second stage EBR-based (Win Vista/7-style) with Windowses only. Strictly I have no idea which program is able (if any, as I doubt) to make simply copy of all structure to new drive, because of MBR... I decided new drive will be GPT-like, so no more WIndows XP and MBR -> if so, so MBR-based boot-menu goes to h*ll -> if so, so first stage menu is gone, half of my operating systems is unstartable.
    So I decided to go with "manual way" and install all OSes by hand. Yes, it's a pain. One week probably out of my life calendar.
    So I disabled SSD and RAID, sticking with new drive only. Windows 7 has been installed. OK then - I think - time to enable RAID-0 and copy data. ZONK... I simply can't boot "new" drive (UEFI-based) with RAID enabled.
    You must know I've done Win7 install with no RAID enabled, as well as BIOS option regarding to SATA mode was set to AHCI (whether my previous setup required setting this to RAID).
    SO my question: is it possible to boot PC from UEFI-based drive (GPT-style partitions) and have RAID-0 (MBR-style) attached somehow ? Drive requires AHCI mode and hangs up with RAID mode (bluescreen). I underline - it works the opposite way: I can boot from MBR-ed RAID and attach GPT single drive (BIOS SATA settings: RAID). Have I to reinstall Win7 with RAID turned on ??
    Cheers,
    Martin

    No, it's not GPT partitioning. I've done this properly now, Windows didn't shout during install...
    So - summing up:
    All connected (SSD & 2xHDDs in RAID-0 & new 3TB HDD) - to Intel SATA ports:
    port 0: 3TB Toshiba
    port 1: SSD
    port 4: RAID-0 vol1
    port 5: RAID-0 vol2
    .. in BIOS there's SATA mode set to: RAID mode. Clicking F11 - bootmenu - during startup:
    * Windows boot manager (UEFI) boot - shows screen with corrupted uefi/someething file, repair or reboot
    * Intel RAID-0 boot - loads Win7 from SSD, new drive is shown with no problem
    Single drive boot (SSD & RAID-0 unplugged):
    * Windows boot manager (UEFI) boot - loads Win7 from new 3TB drive
    So I can't work with newly instaled WIndows (and copy a whole content of "old" HDDs having booted from new drive), I have to boot "old" MBR-based RAID-0 system and copy files instead. It's a bit odd as if I wanted to connect RAID-0 (or another bootable drive) in the future = boot might be impossible ?
    I'm just afraid how Linuxes will go... brrr.

  • MSI Z87 Mpower Killer e2200 Connection problems

    Hi there, I've been having some major problems regarding the Bigfoot killer e2200 ethernet controller. I have loaded the latest drivers, but no matter what i do whenever i'm playing battlefield 4 i will lose my connection completely. I have set battlefield 4 to high priority in the killer network manager but nothing seems to help. After about 10 - 15 minutes of playing I lose the connection then it reconnects....
    I'm using a wired connection and have disabled the wireless on the board to eliminate that as the problem....
    Are there any drivers without the Killer Network manager.....
    This is driving me mad, I never had any problems at all regarding connection on my old gigabyte motherboad.

    Uninstall Killer software completely using >>Killer Cleaner<<. After reboot just install pure drivers you found: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=174229.0 (prior uninstall with cleaner is a must!)

    Have you tried installing LAN drivers from msi website? since what i can see is your actuall drivers arent working propertly so it's giving that yellow symbol to indicate somethings wrong so right click on LAN device and select properties or uninstall then when it disapears then run LAN drivers or re-scan system with scan button futher up and it will re-install LAN with intels temporary i think if not then do drivers install instead and it should solve your problem.

  • GTX970 SLI on Z97-GD65

    Hi all,
    i recently bought a second GTX970 to install in SLI on a Z97-GD65 MoBo, but I cannot find any info in the manual on which pci-e slots to use for the SLI setup. Can I just chose any, or do I have to put them in specific slots?
    Thanks!

    The explanation above is not entirely correct. Populating PCI_E7 will always result in the slots being switched x8/x4/x4 no matter if three, two or just one card is used. Therefor only using PCI_E2 and PCI_E5 will allow to use SLI.

    Events
    When the ISP connection goes down and return, sometimes, the network card is bugged.
    Sometimes, using the Windows troubleshoting solves the problem.
    Symptoms of BUG
    The router not respond the network card Killer e2200, and does not respond to any package.
    If any audio is played during the bug, it is accompanied by the noise "pop-pop-pop-pop" that keeps repeating, at a rate of 2 Hz.
    Example(Wireshark images)
    bugged - call Router and unresponsive
    Normal - Call Router and Router respond
    The only computer in my network, having problems with Router is Z97-GD65 GAMING.
    The other 5 computers tested, and even smartphones NEVER had any problem with the router.
    workaround
    Reboot PC.
    Before display the logo of Win7, the router recognizes the network Killer e2200.
    Solution attempts
    1) Update Bios
    2) Uninstall and reinstall Killer e2200 drivers
    3) Already changed the place of computers in the router output, and only MSI motherboard show this problem.
    Conclusion
    The Z97-GD65 GAMING, for every connection fall of ISP,  the user needs to restart for the internet back up and running.
    I was forced to restart 3 or 4 times per day, while the entire network operates normally.
    The problem is occurring from the first day that I am using the Motherboard, and  delay this time to do all the tests to determine exactly what was happening.

  • Killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30) problem

    Hi everyone, i had this problem since november:i had a gaming pc(specifics below) with a Killer e2200 Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30).The problem is that my pc disconnects every 30 min more or less,for a minute.I tried formatting my pc and installing windows 8.1 (before, i had win 7 home premium) but still nothing.I don't know where the problem could be, because other devices (smartphone,tablets adn also other pc) don't disconnect.
    If you could help me, i'll give you other informations as much as i can.
    Thanks
    i'm using a TP-LINK EXTENDER 300 Mbps which is connected with ethernet cable to my PC.It's an universal WI FI range extender.
    EDIT: I posted this topic into "other MSI product"

    Other topic is removed
    >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
    WiFi does not use Killer network, and even though your device is connected through ethernet, it is still wireless. Might be that Killer NIC and your device (and its driver) cross over each other and cause random issues. Try standard Ethernet->Modem connection (straight 1m connection) and see if you get internet drops then too.

    Hi,
    try uninstalling Killer driver with suit. See if it solves the problem. If it does, then leave as it is, as Killer NIC is a bit terrible.

  • Z97 GD65 board frequently powers off and reboots.

    I bought the Z97-GD65 Gaming motherboard approximately 2 months ago and since then had an issue with my PC running for awhile and then just completely shutting off and rebooting. I reseated my memory cards, checked voltage coming and going and all is fine there. Ive even flashed the bios to the current bios being used on these boards. Still doing it. Its beginning to get more frequent in doing this and its starting to get infuriating. Im about to see about RMA'ing this mobo if something doesn't pan out. Something is causing this mobo to be unstable somewhere. Ive even removed one of my GPUs thinking maybe my PSU is underpowered for a few days and that settled nothing. My set up consists of the following:
    i7 4790K
    16 GB Corsair Vengeance RAM
    2 x Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 GPUs
    Corsair 750w PSU
    Windows 8
    If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

     Seems like it could be memory issue also. Download memtest86 and test the RAM. 1st all 4 sticks and then if any problem crops up each sick individually. You also might want to remove CPU and check the socket for bent/damaged pins if memtest checks out OK.
     I had a similar issue a few years ago and it was caused by the RAM. Exactly as you describe, no blue screen just all power to PC went off then immediately re-started at random times several times a day.

  • Problems with Ethernet controller and PCI device driver on Satellite L30-10X

    Hellow!
    Sorry for my bad English, I'm from Russia.
    Just few days ago I bought Satellite L30-10X with W Vista on board. My opinion, that this OS does't very good on this computer, so I install W XP.
    I have some problems with drivers. At first, I dont know what model I have:PSL30 or PSL33? I download all drivers for both models. But, after installation, computer doen't find drivers for Ethernet controller and PCI device...

    Hi
    Satellite L30-10X belongs to the PSL33E series. This number can be found on the label placed on the bottom of the unit!
    You have to choose this number from the driver download form to get the compatible XP drivers.
    I dont know why you are not able to install the LAN driver. Ive got the same notebook with Vista and Ive installed the XP and all drivers run fine.
    I assume you have installed the drivers in wrong order. Please take the look in the Toshiba installation instruction txt file. In this order you have to install the driver! Its important.
    I think you should install the XP again to ensure the clean registry and then download and install the compatible XP drivers like mentioned in the installation instruction file.
    Good luck

    -RAM, the timing and the OC timing which you always run,
    -exact motherboard model,
    -display card, if u OC include the info as well
    -PSU, power supply unit, brand and model, even better to include the exact wattage of all +3.3V, +5V and 12V rails
