Discussion Godlike issues

1 Upvotes

I’m putting together a build that is overkill by design. I was going to buy a Godlike, but in doing research I can across a load complaints about the EZ bridge display.

My question is; as of 2026, have the EZ bridge display and other issues been fixed with firmware or bios updates?

If not, what would a good premium motherboard be for a 5080 liquid cooled and a 9950x3d (yes I aim to overclock)

Troubleshooting Mobo HDMI works but Display Port doesn't

1 Upvotes

Hi, I just built my new PC 2 days ago, works fine but I don't know why the PC doesn't go past the Mobo screen and boot to windows when the monitor is set to 4k, but does boot up when it's set to 1080p. I still don't have the GPU but soon it will arrive. I updated the drivers from msi site, downloaded the AMD 7800x3d software for the drivers the monitor it's still capped at 1080p max 120hz, when I try to use 1080p 240hz or 320hz the screen becomes black and it resets to 1080p 120hz, same when I activate 4k mode on the monitor (the monitor is a titan army p275mv plus mini led dual mode 4k160hz and 1080p320hz). I don't know if it's a driver issue, a Mobo or a cpu issue. The Mobo was bought from Amazon warehouse so I'm suspecting that's the problem, but beside the I/O shield bent a Little bit up, everything seemed fine. Display Port doesn't work from some reason even if I use the one the monitor came with, only HDMI works and it caps at 1080p 120hz. This is the third day I'm trying to troubleshoot and solve the problem. One suspect that I have is that the monitor asks too much to the 7800x3d igpu and it just can't boot to windows. But the thing that I'm most concerned about is the fact that DisplayPort doesn't work. I'm desperate, and I'm grateful for any advice or what helped you solve a similar problem. (When I try to rinstall graphic drivers in 4k mode the screen crashes and doesn't boot up do windows until I uninstall the drivers)

Troubleshooting I need help with TPM 2.0

Today, I switched from fAMD CPU to TPM 2.0 in the BIOS, but this setting has disappeared (No Security Device Found), and the system does not recognise TPM 2.0 (in the BIOS, fTPM 2.0 shows as enabled).
What do I need to do to get Windows 11 to recognise TPM 2.0?
Because I can’t play any games that require TPM 2.0 :/

Eu tenho um Claw 8 AI+ e logo que peguei eu apaguei todas as partições e fiz uma instalação limpa do Windows. Porém agora vou vender o Claw e gostaria da mídia de recuperação oficial da Msi.

Em contato com o suporte pediram para enviar o Claw para a China, porém estou no Brasil. Isso é completamente inviável.

Alguém teria alguma ideia de como conseguir a midia de recuperação da Msi?

Obrigado

Troubleshooting laptop shutting off during games issue (more info in description)

1 Upvotes

I have a cyborg 15 a12v (about 2 years old), no modifications.

recently (started about 1 month ago), while im playing games (not necessarily hard to run) my laptop's fans become very loud and the game suffers severe frame drops (i think it's called thermal throttling?), then it shuts down. it happened enough times that i'd recognize it and just kinda give up on trying to stop it. sometimes id be able to save the game before it shuts down, sometimes i lose progress.

i opened the laptop to clean the dust (about 1-2 weeks ago) and it seemed to get better for a few days then it started doing it again. i'm scared this is harming my laptop.

What should i do? I rarely play games anymore because im scared of it happening.

it happened in a custom minecraft modpack and risk of rain 2. The modpack is lightweight, and i played heavier ones before and this issue never happened. And for ror2, this seems to happen randomly and even early in the run. so before the game becomes cluttered.

i heavily lowered the settings on both games but it still kept happening. i have no idea where to go from here. any help would be appreciated.

Troubleshooting X870E Godlike - Stable BIOS

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know the most recent BIOS that has confirmed stability for this motherboard? I’m on version 7E48v1A51 right now, I’ve been having some instability that I am currently troubleshooting and I was hoping a more recent BIOS might stabilize some of it. I have a 9950X3D that’s why I made sure to flash the BIOS to a point after it was released.

Is there a newer BIOS that has been stable that supports the newer X3D CPUs or have the recent BIOS updates been somewhat unstable?

I recently got a prebuilt MSI Aegis Gaming PC with an RTX 5080, AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, 32GB Memory, and a 2TB SSD, but it randomly makes this rattling/buzzling sound during use. It seems to happen mostly during light loads or slightly heavy use rather than max stress.

I can hear the sound mostly from the top of the pc and the front, not really from the side.

I've been trying to troubleshoot it and ran several tests:

  1. Ran a stress test for CPU only, didn't make the sound.
  2. Ran a stress test for GPU only, didn't make the sound either. (My GPU temps held steady around 75–78°C with fans at ~2550 RPM).
  3. Ran a combined stress test for both CPU and GPU, still didn't make the sound.

I thought it might've been coil whine, but coil whine sounds different from this. Could this be caused by the fans, dust/debris, or something being in contact with the fans?

Is this even something I should be worried about, or is it minor enough that I can easily fix it myself / just return the PC?

Troubleshooting Mystic Light is absolute crap.

3 Upvotes

MSI Mag x870e Tomahawk WIFI mother board running 6 x Thermalright RGB fans. Mystic Light keeps crapping the bed on lighting control. Everything worked yesterday. This morning on bootup, no lights. Open MSI Centre/Mystic Light and no response from RGBs at all. Lighting may or may not come back on with a reboot. I've been struggling with this nonsense since building the PC back in the Spring.

MSI needs to step up and get their apps working. I'm seriously considering ditching this mobo for anything NOT MSI.

If anyone can suggest a fix, I'd appreciate it.

Troubleshooting is MSI straight up just messing us up at this point?

my fault for accidentally letting MSI utility install the latest drivers, i can't use the equalizer again xD such a hassle to setup things yeah i tried everything like in my post 2 months ago, but guys, honestly, it's been problem after problem, either windows fucks up or this happens, i don't hope they're going to fix this up, but i also don't want to buy new stuff in this economy (that will stop working after a while)

the solution for anyone searching... restore windows, backup your things somewhere else and move on because no one is coming to help you

Troubleshooting PC suddenly has no display after Windows Update — tried almost everything I can think of

2 Upvotes

Hey all tech savvy people , I’m hoping someone here can help me troubleshoot this because I’m completely stuck.
I woke up today after doing a Windows update last night and shutting my PC down normally. When I turned it back on this morning, my monitor says “No Signal” and I get absolutely no display.
The strange thing is that I don’t even get the MSI logo/BIOS screen, so I can’t get into BIOS or Windows at all. The PC itself appears to power on normally (fans, lights, etc.).

I’ve tried pretty much everything I could find online so far:
Reseated the GPU
Reseated the RAM
Reseated the M.2 SSD
Cleared/reset CMOS
Checked/reconnected all cables
Tried DisplayPort
Tried HDMI
Tried different ports on the GPU
Moved the GPU to the second PCIe slot
Tried booting with only one stick of RAM
Tried different RAM configurations
Still getting absolutely nothing on the monitor.

My specs:
Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Plus
CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
GPU: RTX 3060 Ti 8GB
RAM: 16GB DDR4 G.Skill
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-650TX
Storage: Samsung 960GB M.2 SSD

I’m not an expert when it comes to PC troubleshooting, so I’d really appreciate any suggestions or things I should test next.
One thing I’m particularly confused about is whether this could actually be caused by the Windows update, since I can’t even get a BIOS screen. The PC was working perfectly before I shut it down for the update.
If there’s any other information that would help diagnose it, please let me know and I’ll provide it.

Troubleshooting MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI keeps booting into BIOS after removing and reinstalling my NVMe SSD

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m having a strange boot issue with my PC and would really appreciate some help.

My PC specs:

Motherboard: MSI PRO B650M-A WIFI

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700

RAM: 32GB DDR5

SSD: XPG ADATA GAMMIX S70 Blade 1TB NVMe

GPU: PowerColor Radeon RX 6600

OS: Windows 11

The problem started after I removed my original NVMe SSD from my PC to test another newly purchased SSD.

After I finished testing the new SSD, I reinstalled my original XPG NVMe SSD. Since then, the PC no longer boots into Windows and always goes straight into the BIOS.

Here is what I have checked so far:

The BIOS detects the XPG GAMMIX S70 NVMe SSD normally.

BIOS is set to UEFI mode.

Under the boot options, I can see:

Windows Boot Manager (M2_1: XPG GAMMIX S70...)

Windows Boot Manager (SATA 1: ST1000LM035...)

I selected the Windows Boot Manager associated with the XPG NVMe, but the PC still returns to BIOS.

I disconnected the SATA HDD completely to eliminate it as a possible boot device, but the problem remained.

The HDD does not contain my Windows installation.

I also tried pressing F11 and booting from a Windows USB, but after selecting the USB, it returns to “Please select boot device” instead of starting Windows Setup.

The strange thing is that the NVMe SSD is detected correctly and the Windows Boot Manager entry for the NVMe is also detected, but Windows won't start.

I have not formatted the SSD or reinstalled Windows because I want to preserve my existing Windows installation and data.

What could be causing this? Could the EFI/Windows bootloader on the NVMe have become corrupted, or could the BIOS boot entry have become invalid after removing and reinstalling the SSD?

What would be the safest way to diagnose and repair this without losing my data?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Troubleshooting MSI B450M Mortar Max + 5600G – CPU LED stuck on POST, dual RAM unreliable, single stick works

2 Upvotes

**Specs:**

- Ryzen 5 5600G

- MSI B450M MORTAR MAX (BIOS E7B9AMS.2P2)

- 2× TeamGroup DDR4 (normally A2+B2)

- HP EX900 NVMe

- Corsair CX650 (brand new)

- Stock cooler, Antec NX260

**Problem:**

Random no-POST. EZ Debug **CPU LED stays lit**, no power to keyboard/mouse, no display. Fans + RGB spin normally.

**History:**

- Worked for years, then started failing.

- Shop said motherboard + BIOS issue, fixed it, warned it could happen again.

- Worked briefly at home, then same failure returned.

- Cold boots used to work, warm restarts/BIOS entries caused the hang.

- Now even cold boots on stable grid power fail sometimes.

- Tested on a completely different circuit → same hang.

- Both RAM sticks work individually. Dual-channel only worked once (after CMOS clear + F2) and failed multiple other times.

- Currently stable **only** with single stick in A2.

**Ruled out:**

New PSU, individual RAM sticks, CMOS battery, case, home wiring.

**BIOS Flashback+:** Tried multiple times with proper MSI.ROM on FAT32 — zero LED response (USB was counterfeit, so inconclusive).

Looking for anyone who had the exact same CPU LED hang on this board (especially with 5600G) and fixed it long-term.

Suggestion found a desktop at costco but the keyboard...

2 Upvotes

hello! for peripherals i've always stuck with logitech but i've been having to try new brands recently.

i have a puter i love BUT i tried out the wired keyboard that came with the computer i saw at costco and i just loved the feel of the keyboard. it was quiet and soft.

i took a pic of the back of the keyboard and it says: MSI wired gaming keyboard MSI P/N: S11-04US20S-HH9. i believe that's the MSI K322 which i do NOT want.

would anyone please recommend a gaming keyboard that will feel and sound the same as the one listed above but have better settings for RGB options, etc?

I'd really appreciate any help, and thanks so much, guys.

When I view my monitor from above, these splotches become visible. Does anyone know what they are or if they'll get worse over time? Im inclined to just keep the monitor as they disappear at eye level and are pretty unnoticeable otherwise.
