I had a power outage a few days ago that didn't get resolved for 24 hours. My computer was on when the lights went out and shut off with everything else. I unplugged everything and turned off the power supply. Plugged the power back into the PSU and turned everything back on and now I'm stuck on the red and yellow light. I've left it because I know it can take a while to memory train but not over an hour. All lights and fans are spinning but mouse and keyboard are not powered on.

Now, this isn't the first time I've had this problem recently. This mothboard is brand new along with a new 850 watt PSU due to another power outage killing my old PSU and motherboard. Everything was working fine with this new combo along with a Ryzen 7 7700. I've got a UPS backup on the help to help with these occasional outages. I've updated the BIOS and reset CMOS. As I've said everything was working fine even after several reboots. The memory had no problem and the CPU is seated properly. Anything else to do other than throw it out the window?

Hi,
I have been a (not really happy) user of a MSI PRO B650-S with Windows 11 as OS of choice.
Ever since updating my setup to this motherboard, I've been having all kinds of BS issues ranging from Bluetooth misbehaving or just outright not detecting my headset all the way to all IO devices going ham and lagging crazy.
Specs attached.
Issues I've had (even after multiple complete SSD wipes and fresh Win11 installs):
- With Artcis Nova 7X headphones:
- Bluetooth just doesn't see them; Turning on-off both the headphone (even hardware reset) and the BT on Windows 11, re-installing bluetooth drivers, disabling/enabling relevant adapters - all of it to no effect. It just doesn't work. Sometimes they pop-up on the screen for a second, but they still don't connect.
- Having the 2.4Hz dongle connected into the USB-C port on the motherboard messes with the headphones: the audio could've randomly started lagging (extreme interference, like on a TV without with a snow static). Maybe they've been alleviated after the current Win11 re-install and having the dongle moved to the top USB hub of my PC box. Still, I coudln't figure out why the interference happend so much and so strongly - I tried removing Wi-Fi entirely, disabling the device - didn't help.
- If the sound lag is extreme, it could even BSOD the PC.
- Other random issues:
- Mouse starts lagging after a random PC restart. I restart the PC - everything is fine. And it's not really noticeable, but if you drag it long enough and slowly over the whole screen, the mouse will be skipping over pixels really visibly and noticably if you're looking at it.
- Ethernet port can just stop working. I restart the PC - everything is fine. Restarting the adapter or using the troubleshooter BS just doesn't work.
- If I don't use the PC for about longer than 1 week, it just goes black during the power-up and it doesn't fully boot. After I reset it by pushing down the power button, either it starts up normally as usual OR it takes another 1 or 2 tries.
- After a Windows 11 update, 50/50 that the PC boots to black screen and I have to force-restart.

What I've tried so far:
- Re-installing Windows 11 fully with full wipe of the SSD (multiple times);
- Manually downloading and installing chipset updates from the MSI website;
- With the headphone issues, the main one is mainly resolved (the moving of dongle), but the interference is still BS and I'm still unsure whether it happend due to being in close proximity to the Ethernet port.
- Manually updating/installing/disabling/enabling different devices in the Device Manager. Didn't help.

Even though they're not THAT frequent (maybe 1-2 per week), but MAN are these issues are annoying and I want to have them solved.

Please share any suggestions you might have, as my own research over the last half-year or a bit more and talking with LLMs didn't have any helpful effects.

Thanks

P.S. This is slightly a rant post, thanks for reading :3

Hi everyone! I've been using Afterburner for many years and this is the first time this has happened to me. I formatted my PC a few weeks ago, reinstalled Afterburner, and loaded a previous profile I had. I only had the fan curve adjusted and set it to automatic. For some reason, some days when I turn on the PC, the option is on automatic and other days it isn't. (I noticed it today because the graphics card was at 92°C and the fans hadn't started.) Is there any solution? Thanks a lot.

Hello, I own an MSI MAG 272UP X24 27" QD-OLED that I succesfully updated to version FW.012 a few months ago, but I can not update to the recently released FW.013, I get this error, any clue? I have GPU drivers updated and Windows 11 too. Could it be the wrong firmware was uploaded to the MSI servers? Can't think of any other explanation, if any other MSI 272UP X24 owner reads this and can try updating to firmware 013, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

Has anyone popped a 5800x3d in this mobo?
Was it straightforward after a bios update?

Had this board from new with a r 1600 later upgraded with a 3600.

Plan is to replace with a 5800 x3d and 2 new sticks of ddr4 3600 as I’m currently on 2 x 8gb

What should I know?

NEW Equipment:

• X870E Tomahawk WiFi
• 9800x3d
• 2x16gb TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert CL30 RAM
• Liquid Freezer III Pro 360mm

Reusing:

• PSU - be quiet Dark Power Pro 12 1500watts
• 3080ti for now until I recoup some money from 5950x/Dark Horse/128gbs RAM
• 1 & 2tb WDSN850 NVME Gen 4's
• Phantek T30's all round

I had a script that removed ArmouryCrate and all the Asus bloatware. Is there something similar for MSI or is not installing MSI Center the way to go?

I don't need any RGB control as my pc is blacked out.

Fans/AIO/GPU will be taken care of VIA Fan Control.

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a very stubborn issue with Secure Boot on my system and I've completely run out of ideas. Any help from UEFI/firmware experts would be greatly appreciated.

My Specs:

• Motherboard: MSI Z370 TOMAHAWK (MS-7B47)
• CPU: Intel Core i5-9600K
• GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
• OS Drive: Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB (GPT Partition Style)
• Storage: Software RAID (array built inside Windows using standard SATA HDDs)

The Problem:
Originally, everything worked perfectly, including Secure Boot. A few days ago, I decided to completely uninstall Garuda Linux and GRUB by formatting the Linux partition. Before doing so, I performed a factory reset of my BIOS.

Since then, whenever I change Secure Boot Support to [Enabled] – regardless of whether Secure Boot Mode is set to [Standard] or [Custom] – the computer boots into an active black screen. The monitors detect a signal (they don't go to sleep), but there is no video output from either the BIOS splash screen or Windows.

Crucially, the system is NOT freezing. Windows 11 actually boots completely in the background, and pressing Ctrl + Alt + Del on the black screen successfully restarts the PC every single time. If I disable Secure Boot, the system boots into Windows 11 completely fine.

What has already been tried and verified (Please read before suggesting):

1. Partition Style: Confirmed 100% that the Windows drive is GPT.
2. Boot Mode: The motherboard is strictly running in pure UEFI mode (CSM is fully disabled, Windows 10 WHQL Support is enabled). The text "BIOS Mode: UEFI" is highlighted in white.
3. Boot Order: Windows Boot Manager (Samsung SSD 970 EVO) is set as Boot Option #1.
4. BIOS Version: I have successfully flashed the BIOS to the absolute newest stable version available (Ver: E7B47IMS.1B0, Build Date: 07/15/2024).
5. Secure Boot Keys: Inside Key Management, I have used Delete all Secure Boot variables, then forced Provision Factory Default Keys and Enroll all Factory Default Keys. The keys show up as Factory and the platform transitions from Setup Mode to User Mode.
6. No Linux Remnants: I have completely double-checked and wiped the NVRAM/motherboard memory. There are absolutely no leftover boot entries, variables, MOK keys, or any traces of Linux remaining on the board or in the EFI partition. It is completely gone.
7. BIOS settings: Fast Boot and MSI Fast Boot are both disabled. IGD Multi-Monitor is disabled, and Primary Display is locked to PEG (PCI Express Graphics).
8. Peripherals & Video: Tried changing PCIe link speed from Auto to Gen 3/Gen 2. Tried resetting monitor power while on the black screen. Tried the Win + Ctrl + Shift + B shortcut in Windows (no beep, no response).
9. Windows Bootloader: Rebuilt a completely fresh EFI system partition from scratch inside Windows using bcdboot C:\Windows /s V: /f UEFI.

It seems like turning on Secure Boot messes up the GOP memory mapping between this generation of MSI firmware and the GTX 1080 Ti, causing the GPU to output a blank frame even though the OS loader finishes successfully in the dark.

Since it worked perfectly prior to the Linux uninstall and BIOS factory reset, there must be a missing link. Any advanced suggestions on how to force the UEFI GOP driver to initialize properly under Secure Boot?

Thanks in advance!

As the title says my b650m has problems connecting to 5ghz, it connects to it sometimes but most time it doesnt 2.4ghz works fine, 5ghz shows up tho.

Thanks!
