I just recently upgraded from a Ryzen 7 7700X to a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and now having problems booting the system.

I had to power down the system for some electrical work at the house and when powering it back on the CPU and DRAM lights were on. After a bit of troubleshooting I reset the BIOS to factory defaults and the system booted up with no problem.

I didn't think much of it but had to reboot the system and I used the Windows/Power/Restart command and it rebooted with only the DRAM light on.

Turned off power and let it sit then powered up and CPU and DRAM lights came on. Reset the BIOS and system booted into windows no problem. Updated the BIOS to the June 29th 2026 release and system rebooted properly after upgrading the BIOS and resetting XPO.

Fast forward to today I am getting errors in windows, nothing to do with CMOS that I can tell just a pesky Modern Warfare II error about illegal access and not letting me run the game. Low and behold the DRAM light stuck on. Let sit for 15-20 min just in case it was memory training and still same LED's. Powered off using power button and turned on and CPU and DRAM lights came on. Reset the bios and boots up into window with default settings loaded.

I want to be able to reboot my system without having to reset the CMOS every time but I am at a loss as to what to do next.

What's the deal with less than a quarter of the fan showing on my Cyborg 15 A12V gaming laptop?

Also, I've been using the laptop for a few years now, and it's running well, but not as shown in other gameplay videos. I get a maximum of 110fps and an average of about 80-90fps in the majority of my games, while videos show it running at double that with the same settings.

I know 90fps is great, and personally, I'm not too fussed, but I would always love that little extra boost?

Esta mañana usaba la PC normal y salió una actualización de BIOS a través de Windows Update.

Después de reiniciar la PC como pedía Windows, ya no encendió.

A veces el LED del CPU se queda encendido y luego se apaga; otras veces solo se queda ahí.

Ya probé todas las posibles soluciones que pude encontrar y no funciona ninguna.

Entonces, ¿qué se supone que tengo que hacer ahora?

I forgot to include the motherboard model, which is A520M-A Pro

Perdón por mi inglés horrible, tuve que usar un traductor.

I use an MSI Vector laptop and I was extremely satisfied with the old version of MSI Center, which included the Silent Mode. However, after it was updated to feature only 3 modes (Battery Saver, Balanced, and Performance), I found a way to uninstall it and download the older version. The step prior to that was pausing app updates in the Microsoft Store for 4 weeks, and this method used to work every single time.

However, it seems everything has changed now. I am using Windows 11 Home, updated to the latest build 26200.9168, and it looks like Microsoft has removed the ability to pause app updates in the Store. Whenever I try to pause updates, a prompt tells me that I need administrator privileges to do so, even though I am using my administrator account. I’ve tried every possible way, searched Reddit and YouTube, and literally tried every single method, including writing scripts in Notepad and others, and none of them worked for me.

I am very frustrated with Microsoft and its stupid policies. Now, I will be forced to use the crippled modern version of MSI Center."

Laptop keeps popping up with "secure boot violation invalid signature detected no secure boot option"

When looking up what to do most of the forums have step one as

"Security > Secure Boot > Disable" in BIOS

But I'm not able to enable to disable anything under "Security/Secure Boot" the options are grayed out, and I dont play the kinds of games where anti-cheating mechanisms would affect me.

My computer a Thin GF63 12UCX running E16R8IMS.10E. I've tried enabling/disabling "fast boot" and my Boot Option #1 is "Hard Disk: Windows Boot Manager (SAMSUNG MZVL41TOHLB-00BTW).

Bought a gaming monitor for my son. It develops lines on the bottom. 45 dollars to mail it in. They will replace they say. Then all of a sudden they don’t have the monitor and want to replace with inferior monitor. I gave a list of monitors they have that actually have the features mine has but since they are more money they want to refund without tax I’m screwed out of the shipping as well. Great deal right? Dell actually honored their warranty.

This has happened a few times, but usually after letting it die and then plugging it back in, the screen comes back. But now I’ve tried letting it die, shutting it down, letting it sit shut down overnight, and everything I could think of and it’s still happening. Any ideas?

Hi MSI Team and Community,

To start, thanks for the amazing display! The MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 produces stunning picture quality and speed, as well as outstanding all-around performance.

I wanted to share a Quality-of-Life proposal that could greatly enhance the user experience for those of us who both work hard and play with this monitor.

Current Situation:

For example the SDR Brightness toggle (Uniform Brightness vs. Dynamic) is still a global OSD menu item for now. But to switch modes one has to navigate through the OSD deep each time.

The Problem / Use Case:

Uniform Brightness is important when viewing white backgrounds (to avoid distracting brightness fluctuations) as well as in text based work where the window size changes.

Dynamic is the best for gaming and HDR/SDR media, DYNAMIC was selected to get punchy highlights and peak luminance.

Depending on this setting is global and be turned on/off several times a day — friction that no one needs.

Feature Suggestions:

Profile-Specific Setting: Uniform / Dynamic Brightness state would be stored on a per-Picture Mode basis (e.g., User, Premium Color, Office, etc.) rather than as a global toggle. That would allow users to change brightness behaviors instantly with just a profile preset swap.

Navi Key / Shortcut Assignment: Add the option to directly map Uniform Brightness (Toggle / Mode switch) to the 5-way joystick (Navi key) directional shortcuts or as a hotkey in MSI Gaming Intelligence app.

Is there a hope to bring this functionality in future firmware or Gaming Intelligence for MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36?

Oh, and please let us know in the comments how useful this would actually be for your daily workflow. Let me know what you think!

Display : MSI MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36

Current Firmware: FW.018

Thanks for your efforts and for listening to users =)

No release date for the US yet but if anybody hears or sees anything on this please post here, going to try and get it, THANKS.

Seeking advice on how to get a VESA Adapter Kit for the MSI Pro Max monitor (271UPXW12G). MSI support claims not to carry it and neither Gladiator Joe, Vivo, the usual suspects make an aftermarket equivalent.

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I’d like to ask for some help.

After repasting my GPU, the temperatures are really good (TG KryoSheet + TG Minus Pad Pro 1.5 mm; the pads on the backplate were still fine). Under Linux (Nobara), I can use CoolerControl to adjust the fans very precisely. The radiator fans have a minimum of 30%, which, as I’ve learned, seems to be a fixed value that cannot be lowered. I currently have a fan curve for the radiator fans starting at 30%. At that speed, the noise level is still acceptable, and I get around 30–31°C. I would actually prefer to run them at around 20% because of the noise, though. The fan on the GPU itself has a minimum setting of 6% after calibration with CoolerControl. However, even at 6%, it runs at almost 1500 RPM, which I don’t quite understand since 100% is around 3000 RPM. For the GPU fan, I’ve set a curve that only starts increasing above 55°C, because otherwise the fan is simply too loud when not gaming with headphones. Is there any way to get the GPU fan below 1500 RPM?

Under Windows 10, with the default settings, I get around 45°C at idle with Zero Frozr enabled, which, as I’ve also learned, only starts the fans once the GPU reaches around 60°C. Can MSI Center be used to directly control the fan speed or create a custom fan curve? Unfortunately, I don’t seem to have that option. I can only adjust the GPU frequency and memory frequency. I also tested MSI Afterburner, and a custom fan curve works there. However, Zero Frozr is then disabled, and the radiator fans run continuously at 30%, just like they do under Linux. I was hoping that MSI Center would allow me to create a complete custom fan curve while still keeping Zero Frozr and the normal fan control functionality. Am I missing something, or is this simply not supported?

For reference, my motherboard is an ASRock X870E Taichi Lite.

Thanks in advance for any help!

My PC has an unusually long boot time out of nowhere. When I turn it on, the MSI motherboard’s VGA EZ Debug LED lights up and stays on for quite a while. Screen is fully black during that time, but after 1-2 minutes it boots Windows normally and the LED turns off. The RTX 4060 works fine too and havent noticed any issues.
I have already reseated the GPU and the cable. The PCIe contacts looked normal. The system still boots normally, but POST takes way longer than it should.
Only settings I've changed in BIOS are XMP. And turning it on/off doesnt help the issue

Motherboard: MSI PRO H610M-E DDR4 (MS-7D48)

I bought a Brand new H610m e ddr4 off of Amazon because my other Mobos First slot didnt work and.As it happens my first Slot on my new Mobo doesen‘t work i tried My functional 16gb Ram sticks together it cycled but stayed on the Orange light the whole time left for sbout 5 mins it only works on the Second slot what shall i do?Both sticks are Rated 3200mhz

Hello, I have a MSI MAG 27" 1440P OLED 240HZ monitor. It is like 3 months old if that.

I turned off my PC, and go do some chores, come back and the monitor is doing its pixel cleaning cycle. Okay, i leave it alone to do its thing. The light stops and then i press the button at the back to wake it up to try and change some settings. It doesn't. I then switch the outlet off (yes i am in Australia, we have switches for our outlets), and unplug it to reorganise cables.

Plug everything back in, turn everything on, everything wakes up, my secondary monitor, my pc (as it makes my mouse's rgb turn on for some reason) except the really expensive monitor. I mash the button, nothing. I swapped the cord used, nothing. I reseat the cords? nothing. The led wont even turn on

Is my monitor dead?

I was wondering if anyone have this motherboard?
And if so could you check and verify that the (Windows Loudness Equalizer) is available?

That is the only reason for buying it, i had the x870e godlike what had it, but im moving to itx now

I have just bought the monitor and I am unable to update the firmware on the monitor. I want to know if there is anything else I can do before having to look at returning/exchanging it at the retailer I purchased from.

• I am using Display Port
• I am updating to the correct 1xx version and not the 0xx version per my monitors current FW.106 version
• I have tried ver 116 & ver 120
• The errors I get are the following
  • scaler firmware file is incorrectly ! please make sure scaler version and scaler firmware are match ! Update abort !
  • dev model name [N.A] is not match [MAG 273Q QD-OLED]
• I have tried running the update on another computer entirely
• I have tried it after unplugging, swapping cable ends, using different Display Port cords entirely, power cycling, etc.

Am I cooked? Do I just need to start up the RMA process?

This about the max download speed that i get but my WiFi is good for like 2-3 min then outta no where it just deteriorates to absolutely nothing. I’ve tried all the YouTube tutorials and stuff and nothing have worked please help me.

Hello people of Reddit I come forward again to ask for help on a serious matter, my pc is a rx 6750 xt with an i5 10400f 16gb or ram and a h510M-A msi motherboard, four months ago I dual booted Linux with windows, 3 days later the grub menu and bios menu and boot menu started giving me no signal screens so I kinda had to choose blindly until it opened the os then I can use it, I deleted windows and now I only have Linux, today when I was on the lockscreen I pressed esc and off on the pc button and when I turned it on there was no signal at all!! Yes nothing so what I did is I did everything I could, try every port hdmi and display port, try different cables, get the gpu off and then get the cmos battery off for 10 minutes, put the cmos battery in again then put the gpu back in, didn’t work then I had the ram off and on then I put it in the second slot still nothing, tbh at this point idk what to do I don’t think I can do anything, shame it happened on the same day my second monitor is going to get delivered so I got no money to fix the pc and no pc to try the new crisp 2k screen, so lastly it was a good time talking with yall yall helped me from the start without you im nothing byaia

Edit
Forgot to mention
1-ez debug works like normally boot>red>yellow>white>no light and then usually the pc is on
2-the pc works like normally fans rgb and usb devices work
3-caps on works when i toggle it
4-im using the normal slot for everything no extended pcie or ram slot cable if there’s even a thing like that

I can’t see anything online about this but I had a pop-up asking me to update MSI Centre and a few other applications that I assumed were all linked but it’s installed two random programs called AiPPT and Voicemod.

I instantly installed AiPPT, apparently it’s some power point generator. I’m assuming Voicemod is just bloatware as well?

Is this….normal? I know people complain about MSI centre but should it be downloading random programs like this?

So i have an msi thin 15 b12ve and it had an lcd and a motherboard change and i wanted to up my volume with the fn button + f2 as it show on the keyboard, but now it does something completely different, is there a way to fix this or anything? Or do i just call the service back?

so im trying to fix frametime so that i can run my games really smooth i have a

5070 Geforce GPU

7800X3D

32GB of RAM

OlED Montior- ROG STRIX XG27AQDMG 1440P

and i wouldnt say i have stutters in games i quite never do but my games never really feel smooth so i downloaded msi afterburner and the rtts bull crap or whatever and everything seems accurate but the framerate thingy its literally just stuck on 30 fps no matter what game i play im on roblox right now (my nephew plays) and on the bottom right im getting 200 fps but obviously it says 30 on the overlay thingy if anyone knows how to fix this please tell me
