Hi,

I have brand new DZ77SL-50K motherboard and when I will enter EFI bios my mouse is not working there. I can see cursor but I can move it only up and down. Most funny part is that it's moving up and down when I moving mouse left and right. I need to always swith to standard mode if I want to work with bios. Any suggestions how to fix this problem ? I'm using G5 Logitech mouse (laserzUSB connected).

I have an i7 3930k running on a DX79TO motherboard.

Does this chip enable PCIE 3.0 support on the DX79TO motheboard.

The motherboard needs a compatible processor with 3.0 functionality and that is not listed on the i7 3930k specs page.

My question is because I want to purchase a Radeon HD7870XT card that uses PCIE 3.0x16

Thanks

I installed BIOS GAZ7711H.86A.0064 on an Intel DZ77GA-70K yesterday. Now, the secondary Marvell SATA ports only work sometimes (more on that later), and I can no longer select a Secondary SATA Mode (see attached images; the menu is gone). The Samsung SSD Magician utility confirms that the drive attached to the Marvell controller (when it works) is not using AHCI.

Furthermore, when I plug all of the workstation's drives into the motherboard (there are six total, including the optical drive), the drives plugged into the Marvell SATA ports will not mount. Windows detects that there is an issue, and when I troubleshoot it, there is a "Code 12: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use." This was not a problem under the BIOS that shipped with the board.

Hi,

I have dx79to using HyperX Blu 8GB 1600MHz ram and i7 - 3930k cpu and even with the latest 0559 bios update ubuntu doesn't boot if I enable more than 1 cpu in bios, kernel hangs at: Booting Node 0, Processors #1

If I enable all cores system boots only if I set maxprocessors=1 or acpi=off kernel options

The same thing happens if I use linux 3.2 (default 12.04LTS kernel) or 3.5 (backport from the latest ubuntu)

Here is how the screen looks when it stops booting:

Any ideas?

Hi All,

I could use a little assistance with BIOS options for HD boot. I have built a NAS Server with my DH77DF motherboard. I'm using an OZC 120GB SSD drive connected on SATA P0 and three WD Caviar drives on P1-3. I set the motherboard to boot off of the OZC. POST's fine, OK. I loaded VMWare ESXi 5.1 and everything loaded fine. After the initial ESX load I went to reboot and received a no boot OS found error. I grabbed a Linux live CD and ran GParted on the OZC and sure enough the OS and all drives were there. The drive was also marked as boot so I restarted the server and selected the boot menu in the BIOS. After pointing it to the OZC it fired right up, no problem. What the heck? I tried reloading it just in case, but same results. Not quite sure why the motherboard does not see the OZC as a boot drive. Is there something in the BIOS I am missing with the drives? Any help would be appreciated!

I'm trying to use a DM2800MT mobo in an embedded app, with no keyboard or monitor. One possibly fatal problem is that the BIOS will sometimes ask a question and wait for input from the keyboard, even if there is no keyboard connected. The one I'm most commonly encountering is:

The previous boot attempt failed.

Would you like to restore Fast Boot on the next boot? (Y/N)

This can happen in the real world if you interrupt the power at the moment the BIOS is about to load from the boot device. I can make it happen reliably by hitting reset at this same point. But either way, if I hit reset again, I get the same question again. If I turn the power off and on, I get the same question again. I can't find any way to escape from this condition, other than to hook up a keyboard. (And hook up a monitor, so that I can see why the thing is just sitting there like an expensive brick.) I can't have a customer sending back a unit for repair just because the BIOS is stuck on stupid.

This makes no sense. Since this mobo ONLY supports a USB keyboard, the BIOS knows perfectly well there is no keyboard connected. I suppose I could just disable Fast Boot, but I'm looking for the shortest boot time possible. And this isn't the only message I've seen that waits for input from a phantom keyboard.

I downloaded the BIOS configuration tool, in the hope it would provide some extra control over this, but it doesn't. If anyone from Intel is listening, the BIOS really ought to be tweaked so that it answers Y to the above, if there's no keyboard. In the meantime, does anyone else know of any other trick to get around this?

We received the DX79SR motherboard and i7-3970X and were able to bring it up and got everything working – Windows installed, wifi
working, installed the lastest driver and intel software from the DVD etc.

We then went to upgrade the BIOS to the latest version that we downloaded from the Intel website, version 3/5/2013 for this board DX79SR.

The upgrade appeared to go well, but at the end the PC would boot and instead reboot repeatedly every ~3 seconds. The
screen never powered on.

We then proceeded to try all the recommended ways to recover from bad BIOS.

1. We removed all accessories except for memory, graphics card and power.  No effect.
2. We removed the motherboard battery for 30 minutes and reinstalled. No effect.
3. We tried recovery methods for BIOS installation - from USB drive and from CD ROM. No effect.  The PC powers on now for about 10 seconds and then shuts down.  The screen remains black.

The USB port does not seem to power up at all. 

1. We also tried BIOS recovery (with USB and DVD) using even older versions of the BIOS from the Intel website, but it looks like the
   recovery is never starting.

During all this the screen never powers on to show any text.

Also, we should say that we are removing or changing the BIOS jumper appropriately (i.e. removing it during
attempt to do BIOS recovery).  

We tried reseating the memory. (although this had not been moved) It had no positive effect.
Actually  now slot 1 does not appear to work for any of our RAM boards, and the PC will beep 3 times if we place any memory in that slot.

We are currently at a loss and cannot make the board work. The clear cause and effect was the firmware update.
We have not been able to recover the board from that action.

It may be that the new firmware is not compatible with our i7 3970X?!

We have spent hours looking at Intel forums and in general the recommendation from others when this happens is
to return the board.

Any suggestions?

I put together a system for my dad at christmas and there's an issue I don't understand.

It's running Windows 8 (clean install) on on an Intel DH61DL motherboard, latest bios (2/26/2013 - 0113), i5-2400, crucial dimms, atheros ar9280 wifi card, crucial m4 ssd, liteon bluray.

When the system goes to sleep after the automatic sleep timeout it will not wake up. The only way to get the system to come back is to pull the power cable, wait 20 minutes and power up again.

My guess (likely nonsense) as to what is happening here is that there is something stopping the system coming out of sleep and there is a capacitor on the board that is keeping the system state for 20 minutes.

I've disabled the automatic sleep mode in windows and everything works fine (has done since Christmas). I can live with this as it's a desktop system and so sleep isn't really mandatory (though it would be good if it worked as it should!). The thing that bugs me though is that if Window 8 enters sleep though Setting->Power->Sleep then the system wakes up just fine.

Anyone got any ideas what is going on here?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,

I have the following problem with a DZ77RE-75K / 3770K CPU. The system will restart randomly in any delay between 1 hour and 10 days. I have this problem since I got the board with BIOS less than 61.

In BIOS 61, the fix list includes this item:

Fixed issue where computer powers down with certain graphics card and USB front panel card reader installed.

I was hoping this would be my problem (I have an nvidia GTX 670 and USB front panel SD card reader), but no. After upgrade to 61, and then 63, I still have it.

This is not a Windows software issue. Windows event log doesn't list any bug or crash as it would if there was a driver issue. Instead, I only have the following events generated after the computer restarts. It says: "system was restarted without having been normally shut down. This can happen in case of power failure"

However, my BIOS is set to keep the system off in case of power failure, and what happens is the computer simply restarts. Therefore, I don't believe this is a power supply problem, or the system would just power off and stay off. My conviction today is that only BIOS is able to restart the system in this way.

See below the frequency of occurence of the problem. The computer is always on during day, and put to sleep at night. It happened 17 times in the last 3 months. Not often, but pretty frustrating to work and know the system can fail any time, or not.

So, Intel support, what do you have say about that?

Hi,

I have aDQ77KB motherboard.
How big thedistanceof the holesin theheatsink ( cooler )of the chipset ( PCH ) isin mm?

In the technical product spezification Icould find no information, becauseinthe Board 3D view, the holes do not exist.
And in the7 series chipset pch thermal design guide, no informationas thereare, the cooler is fixedwith a clamp.

Thanks for any information.

Best regards from Germany

Hello

I have successfully updated my DH61AG's BIOS to the latest 0105 version, but now the HDMI audio output not works. I use Windows 8 Pro 64 bit, and before the BIOS update there was no problem. After the update the Windows cannot use the HDMI audio output. I also installed the latest audio driver too, but the Windows only shows an "unknown error". I also reinstalled the Windows 8 too, but not helped. In the BIOS the HDMI audio is enabled.

Can somebody help me?

Thank you!

Hello,

I am in the middle of putting together a system with a DZ77GA-70K and a i7-3770K.

When I power-up the system, I get beeping (three beeps) and post code 48 appears on the LED display.  Ostensibly, this is a memory error (according to the Integration Guide), but I have tried two different pairs of modules (DDR3-1600 and DDR3-1333, both 2x 4GB) in slots 1 & 3 (the blue ones).

According to the DZ77GA-70K Technical Product Spec documentation, the post code corresponds to "Refresh memory space attributes according to MTRRs", but it's not much help.

Can anyone suggest what to do next?

By the way, I did double-check the power supply connections, jumpers, switches, motherboard contact with the backplane, etc.

---Mark

I finally got all of my parts and completed the build and when I turned the computer on I heard 3 beeps (memory problem) and a 32 error code. I got the computer to boot by switching the memory around and by using only one at a time, but only with 2 of the 4 memory modules. They will only work in the "B" channel, on Dimm 4 and 2. I can have one in Dimm 4, one in Dimm 2, or one in both. As soon as I add a module to Dimm 1 and/or 3, I get the 3 beep memory problem error and the computer will not boot. I even bought another memory module from the store (different manufacturer) to be sure. I've updated the motherboard bios to the most current version (BHZ7710H.86A.0070.2012.0416.2117) but still have the same problem. The memory also showed up as 1333 MHz in the bios, but I was able to change it to 1600MHz with no problems.

Here's the specs:

Motherboard: DZ77BH-55K

CPU: Core i7-3770 3.4 GHz

Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 X 4GB) 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM 1600MHz (PC3 12800) Model CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9

GPU: Nvidia GTX 560 2GB PCI Express 2.0 X 16

Please let me know if you have any suggestions or are having the same problem, so we can find a solution. I really hope it's not a defective board, because I would hate to unplug everything, ship it back and wait for the new one to come.

Do Intel hopes to stop Mother Board Manufacture?

Hi,

I tried to setup a MegaRAID SAS 9265-8i controller on a new DQ77MK Board.

The problem is that I cannot enter the configuration screen (Ctrl-R) and the Controller does not show up as boot device.

I noticed the following:

1. The Main Bios Screen with the Blue White Background (and Press F2 to enter BIOS etc) is shown a lot longer since i plugged in the RAID Controller.

2. Then the RAID Controller messages are shown and the controller does react to the Ctrl-R press by showing "Please Wait..." but then the PC stops responding (still showing the blinking cursor). Alt-Ctrl-Del does not reset it. I have to use the reset button.

3. If I do not try to go into the RAID Controller configuration screen then the Main Bios screen (blue/white as above) flashes again briefly and then tries to boot the configured boot devices (the RAID Controller is not a shown / known boot device).

I tried to set some BIOS options such as "Boot Display Options"->"Expansion Card Text" set to "Enable" (as well as the default "Disable" and the "Hide All") and also tried with and without UEFI enabled but saw no change.

I do not have a RAID array configured at the moment so i do not know if it would try to boot from it but simply does not show the controller in the BIOS.

I am using the integrated Graphics of the I7-3770 that I am using.

Can someone please try a raid controller on this board and let me know if it works? (Shows up in BIOS and Can enter Configuration Screen)

Thanks & best regards!

Edit:

I now also tried a PERC 6/i Raid Controller. I can also not get into the controller configuration screen (hangs as with the other). Notable difference is that after power on it immediately shows the controller messages (firmware initializing etc) and then goes to the bios screen.

Every so often when I boot my computer after a shutdown get the network cable unplugged notification on the primary LAN port (82579V) even though the cable is still fine. This only happens when the computer first starts and can be addressed by either unplug/replugging the cable or disable/reenabling the network adapter. It will then work perfect for the duration of the computer being on, and might even be fine after my next shutdown and fresh boot. It seems completely random.

I thought it might have been a problem with Fastboot on Windows 8 causing some kind of issue with the device, but even with that disabled it still occurs. It has happened off and on since I got the motherboard, through multiple bios/lan driver versions (currently 0064 and 18.0.1.0). This is little more than a minor annoyance every now and then, but it still shouldn't happen.

Has anyone else experienced something like this with this board or any similar to it?

I have  been struggling with the MB for a month now, trying to get linux EFI booting to work. Fedora, Ubuntu, Debian and Arch will not boot. I managed to get Arch to boot by copying the loader to \EFI\boot\ directory, but if you put it anywhere else it will not work. I have tried all the efibootmgr commands, I have run shellx64 and used the bcfg boot command to set the boot location, but the bios, latest being 51, will not recognize the variables set by either of these methods. So, only booting with the .efi files in \EFI\boot\ work with this bios. Even though the variable is set in NVRAM, it will not boot. Only if the refind directory is renamed to \EFI\boot\ and the refined_x64.efi renamed to bootx64.efi am I able to get the system to boot. It seems only the auto detected boot efi's actually work.
