MSI Z97 PC Mate/H97 PC Mate

Hi I was wondering if anyone would have a solution to my issue right now. I want my pc to basically be completely shut off when I shut it down at the windows home screen but instead, when I shut down my pc and move my mouse (logitech mx performance) it turns on like it would if it was on sleep mode. Currently my wake up usb option is enabled so during sleep mode, i can wake up the computer using a keyboard/mouse without having to click on the power button. But when i disable this option i cannot wake up the computer using usb while it is on sleep mode.
Motherboard: Z97 PC Mate
Want: for the pc to completely shut down and not be awaken when a mouse or keyboard is touched unless it is on sleep mode.

You can't have your cake and eat it too.
There are no levels for wakeup, so it's either wake from both S3/S5 or none. Don't touch your mouse or keyboard.
With that said, I used to have PS/2 keyboard with "Power" key that I used to turn on my computer because the case power switch would always get stuck in. It did not requite any special settings in BIOS.
I have no idea if MSI motherboards support this function, and PS/2 keyboards are rare now-a-days

Z97 PC mate no video from DVI, only HDMI

Assembled system, and no video. Board seems running ok however.
No video on DVI of motherboard or card.
So I use HDMI on PCI-E card, and video works. But cannot select in bios or change from HDMI to dual DVI for dual screen!
I do not own HDMI monitors! So how can I get system to function with DVI? No option to change in bios..
Previous system no problem at all dual screen with same video card.

SLI support is not in question in this topic. Also no, it doesn't support SLI as that requires both slots to run at x8 at least. As only x16 Gen3/x4 Gen2 are possible on Z97 PC Mate SLI is not supported.

Z97 PC MATE - Second GPU will not display / black screen

Using Z97 PC MATE with 2 nvidia cards (GeForce GTX970 and GeForce GETX750ti). My goal is to use the 750ti for dual display with the 970 reserved for compute in a 3D software package (houdini simulations). If both cards are installed on the mobo and one monitor is plugged into the 750ti, it will not display, not even the BIOS screen. Also there is no audio, there is normally a chime when the OS lock screen is reached and that never plays.
The 750ti is plugged into the PCEe 2.0 slot, the 970 the 3.0 slot. Both cards can display in their respective buses by themselves if only one card is installed. If both are installed, the 970 will output a display as expected. I have also tried an older quadro card in the 2.0 slot and it also defaulted to the 970 in the 3.0 slot. With one display plugged into the 970, and one in the 750ti I have gotten an image to display on the 750ti. But never with only one monitor plugged into the 750 attempting to use that card as the main display.
I have used m flash to update the bios to 4.6, but I never used the disc which came with the mobo to update. I thought maybe there is a GPU display priority in the BIOS but I'm not seeing it. I see there is a way to prioritize UEFI and legacy, and Gen1, 2 or 3, but don't know how that should be set up for this (if that is the problem). I would think if that were the case though the audio at the lock screen would still play, but I don't know.
My current nvidia driver version is 342.22, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 as linux OS operates better with the software I am using. I have also posted to the Ubuntu forums about this, but thought I would post here because the BIOS screen doesn't display which makes me think it could be hardware related. Although all of the hardware is detected properly and appears to be functioning as expected.
This issue was reproduced with and without the HDD connected.
Hardware:
i7 4790k
EVGA GTX970 and EVGA GTX750ti
Z97 PC MATE
32gb PNY DDR3-1866 240-pin DIMM
Antec Truepower Classic 750w gold certified
PNY Optima 480gb SSD - PNY SSD7SC480GOPT-RB
Hitachi 2TB ultrastar HDD
I am not sure at this point how to continue troubleshooting this issue, or if this is not possible for this mobo and I just didn't recognize that. One test I was considering is putting the 970 in my old computer (MSI 970FX-GD70) and seeing if the results are the same. Will post any additional required information.
thanks!

Did you install your graphic driver when both vgas are on? Let the driver detect both vga then you can just switch cable and display well. Use the latest 344.65 driver. As for the 3D package, you need to make sure the software support or can change the settings that which vga to compute.
But there's one thing I need to make sure first, does your vga work with only one vga on pcie 2.0 slot? Just wanna be sure it's not faulty slot...

Quote from: Sea Dog on 31-July-14, 15:07:26
Personally, for future proofing and compensation for degradation over time which a PSU usually will suffer from, my recommendation would be a Corsair or Seasonic +12V single rail of around 600+ watts.
Added: Oops! Forgot your question on RAM. Unfortunately, OCZ RAM has not been manufactured for a very long time, and never was too good to begin with. You do have them in the right primary DIMM slots for dual channel.
2nd add: Is the CPU supported with the original release BIOS on the board? Might require an updated BIOS version. Need to check the MSI Website Compatibility Support List for your particular mainboard model.
http://www.msi.com/support/mb/Z97_PC_Mate.html#support-cpu
3rd add: At the site, you can also check on PSU and RAM compatibility.
Throwing the post in
Unplug/remove everything but the CPU and power to the MB... does it beep then?
and yeah.. that OCZ ram was never very good
$45 would get you 4GB or G.skill ripjaws (1600)

Z97 PC MATE and Soundcard.

I upgraded to this board and an Intel G3258 CPU. Everything is up and running except for my sound. My sound card is enabled in the bios. I've tried loading the audio drivers that came with the motherboard. I've tried using the realtek drivers on their web site. I've tried using the drivers on MSI web site. I don't see anything that says realtek or MSI for sound in the device manager. I do see three things listed under sound video and game controllers. One of them is a Playon adapter. The other is for my Graphics Adapter. It says AMD High Definition audio device. The other just says High Definition Audio Device. I noticed in Windows 7 there is a red x on the speaker down by the time. When I click on it, it says there is no Audio Output device installed. I was worried that my sound card had failed. I booted to a Ubuntu disk and sound worked there. So I'm fairly confident the sound card isn't bad.
I did some snooping on the internet and tried to restart the Windows audio Service. This didn't seem to do any good. I ran ccleaner and tried to clean things up a little. Didn't seem to help. I wondered if it was a driver clean problem. But I couldn't find anything I trusted to clean my drivers. I also removed the PCI device in the device manager and forced windows to re-detect pretty much everything.
At this point the only thing I can think of doing is a clean load of windows. I will admit I didn't do that to begin with when I did the motherboard swap. I was hoping to avoid it, but in the end it might be the best option. Anyone have any thoughts, or has anyone defeated this issue before?

The only time when you don't really have to reinstall Windows is for example, if you would swap from MSI Z97 Gaming 5 to Z97 Gaming 9. Or if you get a replacement if it failed to work (so you get back same one). Else it is rather recommended to reinstall Windows, as new drivers has to apply etc..

Z97 PC Mate and Super Charger

Does this motherboard support the Super Charger feature? Live Update prompts me to download the software for this. If the motherboard *does* support it, how do I take advantage of it?
Thanks!

On the link for your board under utilities for the SuperCharger it states:

Re: MSI Z97 gaming 5 stuck up to 00 after updating to bios

Hi
Apparently(according to GoogleTranslate) ambient occlusion in Danish is "Ambient okklusion".
Though in game settings if you find something that starts with Ambient then its obviously that.

Hi
SPI programmer is a device that can flash BIOS without the need of PC working fine. No it doesnt void warranty but you have to pay for such service if any local IT services offer that.

MSI Z97 PC Mate A2 error

Hello guys few days ago i build my very first pc ever. Never done this before so i decided to do it myself and surprisingly i was able to do it. After carefully going thru everything and spending half of my saturday the pc was ready to launch. Plugged the power cable and turn on the power button the pc started without a problem but, as i was cheesing over the fact that i build my on computer i noticed that the monitor shows a black screen with the numbers 90 99 and A2 at the bottom right corner. Immediately i shut it down as i thought i did something wrong and i was scared that i might break something. After i shut down the pc i went to the web and look for this 90 99 A2 thing as i had no idea what was it or is it supposed to be there. Found quite a lot of stuff and by the things i saw it was some kind of an HDD problem or something like this, few articles said that i should play around with the sata ports and cables change them and see if anything works and i did. Before that the pc wouldn't even go into the bios screen but, after messing around a bit with the ports i was able to enter the bios. From then i enter the expolerer mode to see if everything is ok. After the bios entering i restarted the pc again few times all with the same end getting that 90 99 a2 thing at the bottom and nothing else. Swapped the cables again from sata port 2 to 1 but this time i plugged my flash with my windows on it and it booted without a problem from the first try. The windows was installed normally, after that i went to the MSI site and the first thing i tried to do was updating the bios but i didn't let me getting some kind of an error so i decided to leave it like this. Next thing i did is downloading every driver for the motherboard installed everything without a problem.The pc is running now i download some games all run smoothly without a problem but i restarted the pc 2 times after that and i still get that thing on the right bottom corner for like a 5 sec or less after that the bios screen and windows start up.My concern is is this normal should i be worried that my pc will stop running at some point if i keep playing games and using it or should i go to a repair am really scared guys i don't wanna break my pc i just go it.
P.S sry for the insanely long thread but am really worried that my pc will stop working at some point :( so please guys help me THANK YOU !!

The code at the right bottom of the screen are perfectly normal and just report BIOS initialization stages. Unless BIOS hang at one of them there is no problem.
No need to worry about anything but you might want to monitor temperatures, voltages etc.
My favorite is HWiNFO
Other programs: HWMonitor, RealTemp,Core Temp.
If you wish you can run stability tests like: MemTest86, OCCT, or Prime 95

Getting stuck in POST instead of restarting

Hi guys.
I would appreciate some help here...
Whenever I apply (or at least try to) a setting in my BIOS menu, there is chance my mobo cannot handle it, which is fair and square.
BUT: Instead of rebooting and then rebooting again to say that my OC has failed or aomething like that to declare failure to apply settings, it just gets stuck before it posts! So here I am with a blank computer screen but with a pc which is apparently working... Of course no windows booting or HDD movement at all.. What can I do to fix this? I am tired of reseting the CMOS using the backplate button. Even though the SAVE SETTINGS menu is incredibly time earning in those cases, I dare say I am fed up with ClearingCMOS for a small mistake!!
What should I do?
Oh, I thought it was good to apply the lowest - close to auto - setting for some of the voltages in the cell menu. I guessed it would help not overdo it with pumping the voltages up for no reason. I have not OCed now, but until then I would like to check if this minimum 1.10 (a notch above the Auto setting) is OK.
Thank you in advance.

iraklisvel, I will post a screenshot from the mainboard's user manual, page 3-23:
[Click image to enlarge it]
As you can see, there are two procedures in case the system does not boot because of a failed overclock and I can promise you that you will save a lot of time if you clear CMOS instead of waiting for the the system to reboot a fourth time.
My suggestion is to save the last stable and your experimental settings in independent profiles under "USER SETTINGS" in BIOS. These profiles are not erased when your clear CMOS and provide and easy and fast way to load a set of custom settings.
To answer your other questions:
Quote
1. Undervolting. When I apply 1.10Vcore instea of 1.11, the mobo hangs. It just does not POST. We all know that such a minor decrease in vCore would hurt anyone so bad right?
I had no problems undervolting my E6600 as long as the clock speeds matched the voltage values.
Quote
2. Memory settings that are supposed to work 100% sure. Do you find it reasonable not being able to POST in ddr2 - 800 4-4-412 with 1066 modules? Because they actually do it on other mobos.
I had no problems to make a set of G.Skill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ run stably @4-4-4-12/2.1V on the P45 Platinum (@DDR2-800 of course). Never tested with the Kingston HyperX KHX8500D2K2/2G memory I got though.
Quote
3. Multiplier Setting. Not all of them worked in the BIOS that came with the mobo. I guess this was a mistake which was not mine, right? It got (not fully) fixed when I updated the BIOS.
Overclocking my E6600 to 400 MHz FSB x9 was no problem with a small voltage bump from 1.250V to 1.330V (EIST & C1E enabled). 450 MHz FSB Clock speed x 9 was a problem, however it worked with the x8 multiplier. @500 MHz FSB the x8 multiplier became a problem but I could stabilize the system using x7. Maybe 500 MHz x 8 is possible with a couple of voltage adjustions. But testing these things takes time and I did not have that time yet.
The bottom line is: The stability of a multiplier depends on a bunch of other settings as well. I don't know under what conditions you have tested the different multipliers. To be able to comment on more precise conditions, more details are needed to get a picture of what you actually tried to accomplish with certain settings.

Z97 Gaming 7 First build problems

EVGA SuperNova 750G1 750w 80+ Gold Haswell Certified PSU

I first built the system in feb. 2015 and i set it up in bios for raid 0 with 2 samsung 850 pro's 250gb for O.S. and had win 8.1 features off, fast boot off and installed windows then updated graphics driver and all motherboard drivers and successfully updated bios to latest i believe 1.7, then i installed all my games and rendering software and went through each to set up, everything seems fine for a few days of gaming and video rendering with i think very cool cpu temps of 28-46 degrees C, after about 3 days of no signs of problems the sytem just goes blank! Complete shutdown! with no signs of life whatsoever! I unplug the power and reset cmos with nothing, i take everything out the case and place MB on its box and just use psu one stick memory in slot one or a1 and nothing but board graphics to monitor and it would never do anything so i rma'd the mb, when the replacement arrived i did a out of system post testing on box with everything passing to post fine, so i installed into pc case only thing different this time around i used a intel ssd in ACHI mode with win 8.1 Pro features on and fast boot because i read up on the samsung ssd drives having compatibility issues with some newer mb's so once all together i installed windows again thank god for flash drives because my 8.1 pro will install in bout 5 minutes from usb! ok installed and updated just as before and everything seems fine with temps no errors anywhere! after bout 2 days it just shutdown again with nothing happening like no lights on board or any sign of power so i took psu out and done a power fan on test and was good! I took mb out and box test everything i possibly could to get life out of it but none! Once again rma'd it! Ok so then i was in a two week turnaround with that mb so i figured what the heck i'll order from good ol amazon a new mb but i wanted to see if it was my particular type mb so i ordered a z97 pc mate with making sure all componets was on its compatiblity list! once arrived done exactly as my 2nd time with the same results, after a few days of on and off and rendering and gaming with cool temps it just went blank, no power! any resetting cmos or changing sticks of memory or anything would change it! I really need ome advise! I about ready to take everything to my burn barrell out back!

So.. Memory could cause issue with boot but not really killing whole thing. I had motherboard a while ago that RAM slot got burnt. But I was able to boot fine when I have put the RAM stick into other slot so RAM in your case should not kill whole thing, especially if you havent populated all slots. CPU.. very rare to be the issue but may happen. Case.. yes might be shortening motherboard killing it by the end. So when you get new part(s), run your system on motherboard box for few days. If nothing happens then you can take risk of placing it into the case.. but not sure if its worth the risk if it is indeed a case?
PC tech without equipment to test(at least PSU and RAM)? Weird.
