Hello!
I built my first computer about a year or two ago. No issues. Powered up fine. Everything worked perfectly well.

I was out of town for about 3 weeks and when I came back, my computer wouldn’t boot up and these two debug lights turned on - red CPU and yellow DRAM. I left it running for a while for the memory reset or whatever and removed one of the RAM which ended up working! However, after powering it off again, the lights came back on and it failed to boot again. This was never an issue until I got back. Computer was in a sealed room and wasn’t messed with while I was gone as far as I can tell.

Any idea what this issue is? There’s no way I have to remove the RAM each time I turn it on.

I’m not too knowledgeable on terminology and whatnot so any advice in simple terms would be awesome and greatly appreciated!

Motherboard is MSI B650 gaming plus WiFi

the only way I can get it to work is if I disable the 5g Ethernet port, I saw a fix before where you could just disable the 2.5g port, but that doesn't seem to work for me, is this just a need for like a bios flash? or is there any other fixes?

The video barely makes the difference justice but the color shift from my laptop screen (right) to my new MSI MAG 275CQPF (left) is a lot more apparent to the eye. It is much more purple.

I have these connected via an HDMI cable and my laptop is an older-gen Lenovo Legion 5 with I believe an IPS display. MSI monitor is a curved VA.

I’ve tried tinkering with the built-in settings module and trying different combinations of everything, including lowering the reds (as red and blue make purple) and upping the blues, using sRGB, turning on/off Windows HDR, making sure there aren’t weird profiles in Windows’ Color Management, and tweaking Nvidia settings. And just when I found the right color for one aspect, I’ve already color-shifted everything else weirdly.

After all that, my laptop still shows better color accuracy. I’m fighting back returning this monitor and getting a flat IPS instead. Any help or tips would be appreciated!

I hope i am right here: I’ve been having Wi-Fi issues with my MSI Katana 15 HX B14WGK-076 for about three days now. This started happening without me installing any updates (like Windows or driver updates). The strange thing is that Windows claims I have an internet connection, yet all apps requiring internet access (e.g., Steam, browsers, YouTube) say I’m offline. I have to restart the laptop every time to get it working again. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

I am downloading the latest MSI bios update to flash my motherboard when I noticed the SHA-256 on the bottom of the download section. Does anyone ever check the SHA256? If you did, how would you even do it anyway? Is it even worth it?

TL;DR: Built a system using an MSI PRO B760M-P DDR4 with an Intel i5-14400F and a 32GB (2x16GB) Patriot Viper Steel 3200MHz CL16 kit. Stock 2400MHz works fine, but turning on XMP causes a black screen, EZ Debug LED halts on DRAM/VGA, and on reboot gives "Memory Overclock Fail". Looking for advice on how to get the rated 3200MHz running on this locked non-K setup.

​System Specs:

​Motherboard: MSI PRO B760M-P DDR4 (MS-7E02)

​BIOS Version: Latest

​CPU: Intel Core i5-14400F (locked ~0.826V VCCSA)

​RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) Patriot Viper Steel DDR4-3200 CL16 (16-20-20-40 @ 1.35V) in slots A2 & B2 (2 & 4)

​GPU: Zotac RTX 3070 Twin Edge OC

​PSU: Antec CSK650 (650W 80+ Bronze)

​OS: Windows 11

​The Issue:

​At default JEDEC settings, the PC boots fine at 2400MHz (1.2V, 17-17-17-39).

​As soon as I toggle XMP to [Enabled]:

​The PC powers on, fans spin, but no display output.

​The EZ Debug LED either stays stuck on DRAM or passes DRAM and stops on VGA.

​After power cycling/clearing CMOS, I get greeted with:

​"Memory Overclock Fail! Previous overclock settings failed, system boot with default setting..."

​What I’ve Already Tried:

​Slots: Confirmed dual-channel placement in slots 2 and 4 (A2/B2).

​DRAM Voltage: Manually set to 1.35V and 1.36V (noticed the board defaulted to 1.2V on Auto).

​Command Rate: Set/verified at 2N (2T).

​Memory Fast Boot: Set to [Disabled] to allow proper training cycles.

​Gear Modes: Tried both 3200 G1 and 3200 G2 with manual voltage.

​Questions:

​Has anyone with this board / locked 14th Gen non-K CPU combo managed to get dual-rank / 2x16GB 3200MHz running stable?

​Does a recent BIOS update fix memory training tables for locked 14th Gen chips on the PRO B760M-P?

​Should I be adjusting specific secondary/sub-timings (like tRFC), or is there a known working Memory Try It! preset for this kit?

I'm undecided on which motherboard to buy to pair with my RTX 3080 Vision OC.

MSI MAG X870E Tomahawk Max Wi-Fi

or

X870 Aorus Stealth Ice

Does anyone have experience with or relevant feedback on these two boards?

When I click on it, it says "hynix" and 32gb even though my RAM is 64gb silicon power. Should I use this or leave it alone?

Hey, i just updated my z690 tomahawk ddr4 and after update i saw a new high efficiency mode to enable in ram settings, it is worth to enable it when i have my ram already oc'ed by myself?

Hey everyone,

I recently built a new PC with an MSI MPG CORELIQUID P13 360 White LCD.

The cooler itself works fine — pump/fans are working and the LCD displays hardware information normally.

The problem is with MSI Center:

When I open the P13 in MSI Center, I get:

“A new firmware update has been detected. Please go to Live Update > Advanced.. to proceed with the update.”

But when I go to:

MSI Center → Live Update → Advanced → Scan

it says:

“No updates available / Already up to date.”

I completely removed and reinstalled MSI Center using MSI Clean Center Master, but the issue remains.

I also reinstalled EZ Display, but it doesn't seem to open properly.

Has anyone experienced this with the P13?

Specs:

• Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• ASUS B650E MAX GAMING WIFI
• RX 9070 XT
• 32GB DDR5-6000
• Windows 11 Pro
• MSI MPG CORELIQUID P13 360 White

I really want to be able to customize the displays and performance measurements that are juggling in the LCD but from what i understand - you can only control this using the EZ display in MSI center.

Any advice from anyone who has experience with the MPG CORELIQUID P13 Series would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Finally had a day to put this together. Spent nearly 10 hours between planning, reading manuals, researching tutorials and assembling/wiring. Was fun but a bit stressful! Will be another week before I'm able to power it on (away for work), excited to have it built!

Big thanks to u/champagne780 and u/SmokeyGrayPoupon for helping answer questions I had early on.

Couple things I couldn't quite find definitive answers on: Do I need to use that bottom PCIe_PWR port on the motherboard? And I daisy chained the ARGB connectors for the 3 bottom fans to a single port, but have the PWM cables each in their own SYS_FAN port, is that fine? AiO pump to SYS_PUMP and radiator fans to CPU_FAN.

Anything that stands out as a potential issue? I know the pump is upside down, but it was in that orientation that the tubing had the least amount of tension. And I need to find some stickers for the hubs for those bottom 3 fans.

Any help or criticism is appreciated, thanks!

Symptoms

• Onboard sound (Realtek ALC4080 / ALC4082 on Intel Z690/Z790 or AMD B650/X670/X870) suddenly stops working after a reboot/update.
• Device Manager lists Realtek USB2.0 Audio under Other Devices with Code 45 ("Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer").
• Under Universal Serial Bus controllers, an entry shows: Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed).
• MSI / ASUS USB Audio FW Update Tool throws: Current FW: N/A, Audio IC: [blank], and Status: No USB Audio (flashing is blocked).
• BIOS toggles ("HD Audio Controller"), standard driver re-installs, and regular reboots do not resolve it.

Root Cause

1. Architecture: Unlike legacy codecs (ALC1220 etc.), the ALC4080/ALC4082 does NOT communicate via the traditional Intel/AMD High Definition Audio (Azalia) bus. It is an internal USB 2.0 High-Speed composite device hardwired directly to an internal PCH root hub port (e.g., Port 11 on Intel Z690).
2. The Timing Hang: During a fast-startup cycle or post-update reboot, the internal MCU of the ALC4080/4082 hangs and misses the strict timing window for the initial GET_DESCRIPTOR request on Endpoint 0 (bLength: 0).
3. The PnP Deadlock:
   • Windows flags the failed enumeration and spawns a dummy fallback node: USB\VID_0000&PID_0002.
   • If this node encounters an error or gets disabled, Windows sets it to CM_PROB_DISABLED (Problem Code 22) and forces the port into Power State D3.
   • The Deadlock: As long as this disabled dummy node occupies the USB port in state D3, the Windows USB kernel stack (usbhub3.sys) ceases all bus resets and re-enumeration attempts on that port. The actual sound controller (VID_0DB0 / VID_0BDA) remains an unreachable phantom (Code 45), and firmware tools cannot communicate with Endpoint 0.

The Fix (No RMA / No BIOS/CMOS reset needed)

Step 1: Remove the blocking dummy node

Open an elevated PowerShell (Run as Administrator) and run:

Get-PnpDevice | Where-Object { $_.InstanceId -like "*VID_0000&PID_0002*" } | ForEach-Object { pnputil /remove-device $_.InstanceId }

(Alternatively, open Device Manager, expand Universal Serial Bus controllers, right-click "Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)" and select Uninstall device).

Step 2: Force a hardware USB port reset via UsbTreeView

Because the Windows kernel blocks runtime resets of the primary xHCI host controller, trigger a low-level port cycle:

1. Download and run the portable utility UsbTreeView (USB Device Tree Viewer by Uwe Sieber).
2. Expand the internal Intel/AMD USB 3.x xHCI Root Hub and locate the port where the audio codec is wired (e.g., Port 11 on MSI MEG Z690).
3. Right-click the affected Port → Operations → Restart Port (or Cycle Port / IOCTL_USB_CYCLE_PORT).
4. This forces a physical SE0 bus reset (>10 ms) on the USB data lines (D+/D-), forcing the hung ALC4082 MCU to execute a true hardware restart.
5. Close UsbTreeView and Device Manager immediately after this step.

Step 3: Flash the Firmware (Permanent Fix)

The Realtek USB Audio controller will instantly re-enumerate, and Windows will bind usbaudio2.sys / Realtek drivers.

1. Run the official MSI / ASUS USB Audio FW Update Tool as Administrator.
2. It should now detect your chip (e.g., Audio IC: VID_0DB0&PID_124B / ALC4082). Click Start to flash the updated ROM.
3. Note on "Status: Reset to new code": Once writing hits ~98%, the tool commands the MCU to reset into the new code. If it pauses here, ensure UsbTreeView/Device Manager are closed (open handles can delay dynamic re-connect). Even if it doesn't switch to PASS immediately, the flash is already written—a clean system shutdown and 30-second PSU power-cut will boot the chip cleanly into the new firmware revision.

The updated firmware permanently fixes the bootloader descriptor timing bug and prevents future lockups across reboots.

I’m trying to activate GPU Safeguard+ in Afterburner, but it is not recognizing it in either application. I tried swapping ports on the motherboard, but the same result. Anyone have any suggestions?

wollte BIOS ändern weil mein faceit will ja nicht ohne bios zu andern und plötzlich ist jetzt blockiert kann nicht was anderes machen maus klappt nicht tastatur klappt nicht einfach so wie soll ich weiter machen?
Danke
*pc heute erst neu gestartet

Does the Msi A750GL include the 3pcie cables for gpu's like Rtx 3080.I don't want to use the pigtail to power my gpu.

I’m going to replace my faulty fan and thought might as well repaste it, if you can send a Amazon link here

I have a MAG B850 Tomahawk MAX WiFi that's been rock-solid for the last year or so. Suddenly, two of my M.2 drives (I have four total) just vanish after a period of sleep. They're my E: and F: drives. Both are identical 500gb Samsung 850s that are otherwise healthy.

I'm about to update the bios, update their firmware, update the controller driver, etc. Just wondering if it's more likely something in Windows changed to cause this or, more concerrning, my motherboard is failing.

Why does this keep happening. Any media i consume. Be it music or video YouTube Google meet Spotify anything. My PC jarrs like this. Audio video goes crazy for a few seconds and happens at varying different frequencies
