I'm planning to build a computer with DDR5 RAM and am considering the 2x16GB 6000MHz option, but the problem is that all the offers are in the 400-500 euro range. I don't know if this is just a regional issue in Italy, or if this is actually a normal price for RAM these days. Can anyone tell me what to do? Should I go for that price or look elsewhere?

I wanted to update bios via msi center but it was already updated so i updated what was suggested. After that my internet only works on specific sites and on others works only when i open old browsers session. Also works completely normal in Safe mode. I already uninstalled msi center cuz i thought that was the problem. Any ideas what could i installed, didn’t really paid attention.

So monitor (MAG271VCR / 3CB3) has been going black on me almost every time I turned on my pc for about a week.

It doesn't go black all at once evenly, it's in bands length wise. At first I was really worried, but I simple restart of my pc fixed the issue. But the last 2 days it's escalated.

Yesterday no matter what I tried unplugging or restarting it would not work. Every time it got power it was just fade in bands. Weirdly though one time I had everything powered and on, I unplugged the monitor power cord from the back, plugged it back in and everything worked fine the entire night. But the next day now it's getting absolutely zero power. Whereas before the monitor was still black lit and shower the power light, now it gets no power.

Is there no hope for my 4 year old monitor?

Hi everyone,

I just want to double-check the manufacturing date coding for MSI motherboards. My B550 Gaming WiFi serial number has 2602 right after the letters (601-7C56-270B2602...).

Does this officially mean it was manufactured in February 2026 (YYMM format)?

Thanks!

My PC turns on, the fans and lights work, but I get no picture, not even the BIOS. The red CPU light stays on. I checked the label, so it’s definitely CPU. The GPU fans don’t spin either.
I’ve already unplugged it and held down the power button, taken the battery out to reset the BIOS, and tried each RAM stick separately in A2. Even with no RAM installed, the same CPU light stays on.
I also unplugged and reconnected the 8-pin CPU power cable. The 24-pin looks fully plugged in. Took the GPU out and put it back too, with both its power cables connected.
Then I took the CPU out and checked it and the socket. I couldn’t see anything obviously burnt or bent, or any paste on the contacts. Put it back and fitted the cooler again. Still nothing

J’ai un MSI Vector 16 HX AI A2XWIG équipé de :

Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX

RTX 5080 Laptop 16 Go

32 Go de RAM DDR5

SSD 1 To

Windows 11 Famille

BIOS : E15M3IMS.117

Firmware Intel ME : 19.0.11.2289

J’ai un problème assez étrange avec les périphériques USB.

Au démarrage du PC, tout fonctionne parfaitement. Mes périphériques USB sont correctement reconnus.

Mais après avoir joué à un jeu pendant un certain temps, les périphériques USB commencent soudainement à se déconnecter ou à ne plus répondre.

Le problème se déroule généralement comme ceci :

Mon casque Astro A50 X commence à grésiller/couper.

Le son et parfois le microphone disparaissent.

Ma souris, mon clavier externe et ma manette USB finissent également par ne plus fonctionner.

Le clavier et le pavé tactile intégrés au PC continuent de fonctionner.

Dans le Gestionnaire de périphériques, j’obtiens « Périphérique USB inconnu (échec de demande de descripteur de périphérique) » – Code 43.

Si je débranche un périphérique USB, le périphérique inconnu correspondant disparaît.

Si je le rebranche, l’erreur Code 43 réapparaît.

Un redémarrage du PC règle temporairement le problème.

Le problème semble apparaître principalement après avoir lancé un jeu / lorsque le PC est sollicité. Après un redémarrage, tout fonctionne normalement pendant un certain temps.

Ce que j’ai déjà essayé

Réinitialisation/réinstallation de Windows

MSI Center et Live Update

Pilotes officiels MSI

Pilote chipset Intel

Intel Serial IO

Intel MEI

Mise à jour du firmware Intel ME

Mise à jour du BIOS

Modification des paramètres d’alimentation USB

Désactivation de certaines options d’économie d’énergie USB

Test des périphériques directement sur les ports du PC, sans hub USB

Test de plusieurs ports USB

Désactivation de MSI AI Engine

Test de différents modes de performances MSI

À l’origine, mon BIOS était en E15M3IMS.10B. Je l’ai mis à jour vers E15M3IMS.117.

J’ai également mis à jour le firmware Intel ME de 19.0.5.1948 vers 19.0.11.2289 avec l’outil officiel MSI.

Le CSME Detection Tool indique maintenant que le système ne présente pas de vulnérabilité CSME nécessitant une action.

Malgré toutes ces mises à jour, le problème USB persiste.

Les températures ne semblent pas anormales non plus : environ 75–78 °C pour le GPU et 50 °C pour le CPU au maximum lors de mes tests.

Erreur dans le Gestionnaire de périphériques

Pendant la panne :

Périphérique USB inconnu (échec de demande de descripteur de périphérique)

Code 43

Plusieurs périphériques USB inconnus peuvent apparaître lorsque plusieurs périphériques sont branchés.

Ma question

Est-ce que d’autres personnes possédant un MSI Vector 16 HX AI, particulièrement le modèle A2XWIG avec RTX 5080 et Core Ultra 9 275HX, ont rencontré exactement le même problème ?

Avez-vous trouvé une solution durable ?

Est-ce que cela pourrait être lié au contrôleur USB, USB4, PCIe, chipset ou à la gestion de l’alimentation lorsque le GPU est fortement sollicité ?

Je cherche surtout à savoir si quelqu’un a identifié la cause ou une solution avant d’envisager un retour SAV ou un remplacement de carte mère.

Merci d’avance pour vos retours🫶🏻😓

Hello, My computer(MSI Stealth 14Studio A13V) has had a ton of issues tonight. First my wifi drivers failed, which on its own was not unusual(has happened 4 times in the past year, the three most recent being much closer together). Went through the troubleshoot process for that and uninstalled/reinstalled the drivers several times to no success. Tried to install a Windows 11 update, which did not help. Then tried to restart the computer when I got stuck in this secure boot violation loop. I tried to disable but the option is greyed out. Tried to set up an admin password which did not help. My main question is if this is worth paying someone to look at or if I should just accept my laptop crapped out on me(I assume due to some hardware issue with overheating but honestly I have no clue, I'm not a computer person). Thanks for any help in advance.

Hello! I was wondering do I update the bios on my new B850 Tomahawk Max? Got a 9800x3d and a 9070xt swift to pair with it. Pretty new to pc building so not 100% sure if I should or the best way to go about updating the bios.

I’d like to know if I can force a 225mm PSU in there; I find it absurd that a case of this size tops out at 200mm, as it really messes up cable management. If anyone can tell me the distance in millimeters from the PSU enclosure—accounting for the PSU itself—I’d really appreciate it. I bought a 900R but won't be picking it up for another 30 days, and there is no way I want to give up my Corsair AX1500i.

Congrats Dremel!

Hey so recently i tried to update my B760M-P to the latest bios but my realtek audio stopped working and disappeared from windows so i had to revert back to my original version.

However i heard that i can use a UEFI shell flash tool to update the bios and keep the audio working so i was wondering if anyone could let me know how to do that.

Hi everyone,

I forgot the BIOS password on my MSI Alpha 15 B5EEK (board MS-158L). The password is requested when I try to open the BIOS. After 3 wrong attempts the system locks up and I have to hard reset, which gets annoying quickly.

What I’ve already tried:

Removed the CMOS battery.

Unplugged the AC adapter + CMOS and left everything disconnected overnight.

Battery reset button on the mainboard.

Basically, I've tried everything I knew and none of it worked, so the password must be stored somewhere other than the CMOS. Maybe Nvram.

MSI support quoted me around €70+ for a BIOS flash or pw reset. I’d like to try it myself first. I have the official BIOS from the MSI support page and a FAT32 USB stick ready.

My questions:

1.Since M-Flash is only reachable from inside the BIOS menu, is there another way to flash this model (Windows tool, forced/recovery flash via USB)?

2.Does a flash actually clear the supervisor password on this board, or is it preserved?

Has anyone been through this with an Alpha 15 or a similar MSI laptop? Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

So my PC was working flawlessly and then after going to sleep I woke up and turned on the PC to be met with a “CPU overheating alert!” during the boot process. I went in and checked temperatures and they were very low but my CPU load for each core was at 100% or a little below. The PC itself was also VERY slow, the startup was probably 10x the length, it was extremely laggy, and even shutting it down was a very long process.

We took it to a repair shop and after cleaning out lots of dust and replacing the thermal paste, we took it home and it worked flawlessly once again.

I went to sleep again and when I woke up it failed to POST, on my motherboard there was a red light labeled “CPU”, I tried booting twice and I had the same failure. After waiting many hours I tried again and to my surprise it did POST, but I was given the same “CPU overheating alert” from the very start along with the same 30-40C temperatures and 100% load.

We took it in again and we told them we thought it could be a thermal sensor issue, but they ended up adding a new intake fan, updating my BIOS, and some other things I’m not sure about, but we took it home and once again it worked flawlessly, and once again I went to bed and woke up, turned on the PC and it was still super slow, and supposedly throttling with high load, low temps, and extreme lag.

I’m so confused why it always works but when I shut it off for the night, go to sleep, and wake up and then it goes back to the same issue.

Also my Dad was checking it out and when he went to turn it on, he flipped my power strip on and then immediately hit the power button on the tower, and it caused it to try and turn on but quickly the front fan LEDs switched off while the motherboard LEDs stayed on and just simply failed to start and after this the PC would no longer even respond to power and was completely dead. Which is leading the technicians to now be looking to solve this new issue of it not starting, and now we are going to replace the motherboard but I’m worried that this new motherboard will solve the PC not turning on issue, but not this overheating/throttling issue.

Motherboard: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5600GT

What is happening?!?!?

I just bought this card several weeks ago and at first it worked great. My mobo has onboard WiFi and yesterday I realized it's no longer using the herald and using the onboard instead. Go into device manager and learn that my system can't even see the card anymore. I re-seated it, unplugged and plugged the USB connector and even tried the 10 second static trick. Seeing that this is a normal problem but has anyone solved it??

Hi,

Has anyone experienced any issues with USB-C after installing latest BIOS update 7E56v1AA3? Now all of the sudden PC may not recognize my headphones while they are working and I will have to disconnect and reconnect several times to make it work...

i've tried looking into the MSI center application, but i am so gosh darn lost and can't find the settings that i am trying to find. the internet is not helpful either. besides, my feline (see slide 2) was on my laptop's keyboard when the lights went out, so i believe she may have pressed something in the process. for specifics, the position she had taken was a loaf, and she hadn't paused or opened any programs while i was away.

laptop is a thin gf63 if i recall correctly (not in a position to check right now), and i mainly use it to draw and render as opposed to gaming. so yeah not having the lights on the keys has been troublesome as i do rely on keybinds and everything. help is appreciated! :]

So, I am running a B650M Bomber Wifi mobo with corsair 6000mt/s cl36 ram. My bios version is E7E30AMS.260. I enabled expo profile and then let the system boot multiple times and checked task manager if ram was at 6000mt/s each time(with higher boot times because of memory training). I then went to bios menu and enabled mcr and pde options. But, when I booted again, ram speed was back at 4800mt/s default. I went back to bios and weirdly, expo was enabled but ddr speed was showing as 4800mt/s. I clicked f6, enable expo again, went back to windows, downloaded occt and ran the test with no errors. Which means, ram speed set to 6000mt/s is stable for my system, but turning on mcr and pde makes it go back to 4800 with expo profile still enabled. I have also tried to enable just mcr, but same. How do I fix it?

Hola, pues lo que dice el título, lo compré hace muy poco y tengo esa duda

Hi everyone,

I'm having a problem with my PC and I'm running out of ideas. When I turn it on, the fans spin, but there is no display. The red CPU and yellow DRAM EZ Debug LEDs stay on, and the system never seems to complete POST.

My PC specifications:

Motherboard: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600

RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 MHz, 32 GB (2x16 GB), CL30, AMD EXPO / Intel XMP

GPU: ASUS Dual Radeon RX 7600 XT OC Edition 16 GB GDDR6

PSU: Seasonic Core GX-850 V2, 850 W, 80+ Gold, ATX 3.1

What I've tried so far:

Updated the BIOS using the rear Flash BIOS button. The LED blinked during the process and then stopped.

Cleared CMOS using the JBAT1 pins.

Tested each RAM stick individually in different slots, including A2 and B2.

Tried both RAM sticks installed together.

Tried other RAM slot combinations, including B1/B2.

Removed the dedicated GPU and connected the monitor directly to the motherboard HDMI output, using the Ryzen 5 7600 integrated graphics.

Checked the PSU connections and used the original modular cables supplied with the new Seasonic PSU.

Left the system on after the BIOS flash, but there was still no display even after around 30 minutes.

The problem remains exactly the same: the fans spin, the red CPU and yellow DRAM LEDs stay lit, and there is no display.

I'm not sure what else to try. Could this be a faulty motherboard, a CPU/socket contact issue, a RAM compatibility problem, or something else? Has anyone experienced the same issue with this motherboard and managed to fix it?

I'd appreciate any suggestions before spending more money on additional parts.

Important note: Both the motherboard and the CPU were replaced through warranty and supplied as refurbished units in “excellent” condition. Unfortunately, the problem persists with the replacement motherboard and CPU.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Título: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi atascada con LED rojo de CPU y amarillo de DRAM: sin imagen después de probarlo todo.

Buenas a todos.

Tengo un problema con mi PC y ya no sé qué más probar. Cuando lo enciendo, los ventiladores funcionan, pero no aparece imagen en el monitor. Los LED de diagnóstico EZ Debug de CPU (rojo) y DRAM (amarillo) permanecen encendidos y el equipo parece no completar el POST.

Especificaciones de mi PC:

Placa base: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk WiFi.

Procesador: AMD Ryzen 5 7600.

Memoria RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 6000 MHz, 32 GB (2 × 16 GB), CL30, compatible con AMD EXPO e Intel XMP.

Tarjeta gráfica: ASUS Dual Radeon RX 7600 XT OC Edition de 16 GB GDDR6.

Fuente de alimentación: Seasonic Core GX-850 V2, 850 W, 80+ Gold, ATX 3.1.

Todo lo que he probado hasta ahora:

Actualizar la BIOS mediante el botón Flash BIOS trasero. El LED parpadeó durante el proceso y después dejó de hacerlo.

Restablecer la CMOS mediante los pines JBAT1.

Probar cada módulo de RAM por separado en distintas ranuras, incluidas A2 y B2.

Probar los dos módulos de RAM instalados simultáneamente.

Probar otras combinaciones de ranuras, incluidas B1 y B2.

Retirar la tarjeta gráfica dedicada y conectar el monitor directamente al HDMI de la placa base, utilizando los gráficos integrados del Ryzen 5 7600.

Comprobar las conexiones de alimentación y utilizar los cables modulares originales suministrados con la nueva fuente Seasonic.

Dejar el equipo encendido después de actualizar la BIOS, pero seguir sin imagen incluso tras unos 30 minutos.

El problema continúa exactamente igual: los ventiladores giran, los LED rojo de CPU y amarillo de DRAM permanecen encendidos y no aparece ninguna imagen.

Ya no sé qué más probar. ¿Podría tratarse de una placa base defectuosa, un problema de contacto del procesador con el socket, una incompatibilidad con la RAM o alguna otra cosa? ¿Alguien ha tenido este mismo problema con esta placa base y ha conseguido solucionarlo?

Agradecería cualquier sugerencia antes de gastar más dinero en otros componentes.

Nota importante: Tanto la placa base como el procesador fueron sustituidos mediante la garantía y recibí unidades reacondicionadas en estado «excelente». Por desgracia, el problema persiste con la placa base y el procesador de sustitución.

Muchas gracias de antemano por vuestra ayuda.

I see these two godlike mobos locally, just curious what the difference between the two is?

Additionally if someone owns either, would you please let me know the dimensions of the pcie SSD expander?

Thanks

Recently built a new PC and unfortunately my RGB components aren't compatible with OpenRGB or SignalRGB, so I am relying on MSI center to control them. However, I cannot get Mystic Light to open at all. The software just stays on the loading wheel and never opens. I've tried fresh installs of MSI center, reinstalling mystic light, and disabling any background software that might interfere. But I'm having no luck. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions?
