The Crucial M500 SSD is OPAL and TCG compliant to allow hardware based encryption with Windows 8 bitlocker. I am cannot enable this feature due to a hardware issue.

After installing Windows 8, I disable the TPM requirement for bitlocker (no TPM on the motherboard). Then, while enabling bitlocker, I let it run the check that causes the computer to reboot. Upon rebot, I get the "bitlocker could not be enabled - your computer does not support bitlocker hardware based encryption" error. If I enable bitlocker anyway, the SSD will be encrypted with the hardware encryption. However, after a reboot with the encryption enabled, it shows the bitlocker recovery screen and after entering the recovery key, the recovery fails.

I have the latest BIOS (V66 from 2013-5-21). It is running in AHCI mode and the SSD is formatted as a UEFI drive (main partition, UEFI partition, and a recovery partition).

What I have tried without success:

-Disable legacy boot support

-Disable network boot

-Disable secondary SATA ports

-Try the 3Gbps Intel ports

-Try Windows 8.1 preview

Is there a know compatibility issue with the dz77gal-70k and bitlocker hardware based encryption? Is there any workaround that I can use to get this to work? It appears to be a motherboard issue as I can enable the encryption just fine, it's booting afterwards that is the problem.

There is a thread on the Crucial forms related to compatibility problems with the M500 and bitlocker.

I am using the DZ87KL-75K with the 0344 BIOS.  The primary NIC connection will not work and I have on the LED display  A6 and 40

If I go into the BIOS setup and make no changes at all and just F10 and exit and save the A6 and 40 on the LED display is fine and shows 00 01 and the primary NIC connection works.  If I do a Windows restart (or a cold boot) then the same problem comes back.  Even if I disable un-used items (such as IEEE, Thunderbolt, PS2) the same issue happens

The secondary NIC connection is working fine all the time.

What does the A6 40 on the LED display indicate?  Intel Tech support says it is 'Reserved for Future use'.

CPU = i7 4770K

Memoary = 2 x 8 GB

Greetings forum members.  I have a DX79SR, on the latest bios, and am running the latest version of Desktop Utilities.  I am experiencing an issue or anomaly that you may be able to help me with.

Most of the time, the Desktop Utilities report normal temperatures, 30 to 34 degrees C, for the #1, #2 and #3 voltage regulators as well as the memory temperature.  Recently, Desktop Utilities has flagged temperatures on the #1 VR and the memory at 124 degrees C.  A quick reboot without cutting power restores these readings to the previous normal.  There seems to be no indication of overheating other than what Desktop Utilities is reporting.

Any idea if these readings are in error or are, for some reason, these two temperatures are actually spiking above boiling?  I'd appreciate your thoughts.

With bios 044 (and older) the CIR receiver from Inteset was working.

After update to 099 and 104 the device is visible in Windows/Linux but no events are received. The same with version 105.

Bios defaults are already loaded and the ir option is enabled.

My board revision is G23736-400.

Thanks.

Hi to all,

I´ve bought the new DZ87KLT-75K board and I´m looking for a Lucid Virtu software to switch from the Intel GPU to a discrete GPU automatically, but there is nothing free manufacturer version to download at the support area. The version of my DZ77RE-75K board told me that I have no Intel Motherboard as I have tested a installation. Now I´am using a 30-days-trial directly downloaded from lucidlogix.com and it runs fine, but I´m still waiting for a free solution. When  I can download a free version from Intel download area?

Thx for feedback

I 'am trying to build a config based on:

Intel DH87RL

Intel Core i7-4770

4 x Kingston KVR1333D3N9/4G

+ connected : 1 Intel Pro NIC + 2 x Samsung 750 GB HDD + 1 x Samsung 256 GB SSD PM800

Memory is on the tested list : http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/db-dh87rl/sb/CS-034215.htm

When I only place 1 stick = ok

When I place 2 sticks = ok

with 3 of 4 continue reboot -> no output on screen, I do use the integrated graphics via hdmi.

Memory is working any combination of slots is the same max 2 sticks.

System was working before DH77EB with Core i7-3xxx and 4 x KVR1333D3N9

I did upgrade the bios to RLH8710H.86A.0320.2013.0606.1802

Hello,

I've created a photography workstation with the following:

-DQ77KB

-i7-3770S

-NEC MultiSync PA241W

For graphics, I'm using the integrated HD Graphics 4000 in the CPU, and am using a Display Port cable.  Everything claims to support deep color, but the display drivers only indicate True Color is available (24-bit color depth).  How can I enable deep color with HD Graphics 4000?

The following indicates that deep color is supported by HD Graphics 4000:

http://software.intel.com/en-us/node/182971

NEC Monitor information specifying deep color support with Display Port connection:

[http://www.necdisplay.com/documents/ColorBrochures/PA241W.271W.301W_SpecBrochure.pdf | http://www.necdisplay.com/documents/ColorBrochures/PA241W.271W.301W_SpecBrochure.pdf]

I am using Windows 8 Pro x64 with 8GB RAM, and have specified in the BIOS to use 1 GB RAM as graphics memory.  I do have all the latest graphics drivers and firmware.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

I built a new computer :

Intel DX79TO

Intel core i7-3930K

4 x 8 GB Corsair Vengeance LP CML32GX3M4A1600C10  (1600MHz 10-10-10-27 1,50V  32 GB kit)

MSI Geforce GTX 660

PSU Corsair CX600

When I use three ram sticks in dimm 1, 2 and 3 or 4 to get 24 GB everything works fine. As soon as I use the four ram sticks (dimm 1,2,3,4) the system makes two unsuccessful boot attempts (few second then shutdown) and gets stuck on third attempt with memory error three long beeps, red led "high voltage in cpu circuits" blinking and code b9. I managed to boot few times successful on 32 GB by hitting the reset button, then the system works fine, even can restart, but on cold boot the error appears again.

Updated bios to latest version 0590. I tested each ram stick individually in dimm 1 with no error. Tested bios defaults and Xmp profile. Tested clear cmos. Tested swapping ram sticks, don't seams to be related to one specific dimm slot. I unmounted and remounted cpu to see if the socket pins or heat sink mounting were fine and no changes.

So i don't now if there is some faulty ram or motherboard or if this is a compatibility issue. Right now i could stay with system running fine on 24 GB but i need more memory on heavy 3D renderings, even planning to upgrade.

Thank you for feedback

I'm running Windows 7 32-bit on a new DH87MC (firmware revision 0047), and in Device Manager, I'm seeing two serial ports (COM1 and COM2) and a parallel port (LPT1). This board has no connectors or onboard headers for these ports, and there doesn't appear to be a way to disable them in BIOS. It looks like they're hanging off of the LPC controller in the PCH, which provides the ISA/PCI bridge.

Were these exposed by accident? I know some other things, like TPM, use LPC, but I can't see any practical reason for these showing up.

Our use case for this board will involve installing PCIe-based COM ports, and we're trying to avoid confusing our end users with a couple of ports that don't exist. Any suggestions for making these go away?

Intel says it DOES support VT-d, at

http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-030922.htm

(see last table on that page).

Intel says it DOESN'T support VT-d, at

http://ark.intel.com/compare/70898,70903,69045

Trying to build a configuration with totally non-kludged, orthodox, VT-d end-to-end support is hairy enough as it is, which is a major reason for leaning toward Intel boards in the first place.

How can a customer know, is the list on the CS-030922 page 100.0000 percent reliable and authoritative, or not?

We have been using the D525MW boards with 0113 bios. We recently updated some boards with 0132C bios and noticed some power issues at bootup. It appears that the BIOS is causing the power on the power supply to dip for about 1.6 seconds in length after 3.4-3.5 seconds. It appears the change came with the 0126 BIOS and later.

Is there a design reason for this or are there settings to disable this behavior? We were troubleshooting a USB boot issue when we tried the latest BIOS.

My intel board serial no: BTCL116000SE.

part no: AAG10212-205.

PLEASE HELP ME TO CHECK THE WARRENTY

Hi, I Have 2 Brand New Intel Motherboard DH67BL and a problem.

I Put a Intel Pentium G2120 and 2 bank of Kingston KVR1333DS8N9H 2GB on one of this motherboard, plug the 450W Power Supply and make all connection for the USB front panel and button.

When i try to power on i hear 3 long beeps repeating. I know it's a memory problem and i try to remove a bank, move the ram in all 4 slot, change the ram with a 1066MHz, add a video Card but nothing work.

I Changed motherboard and i tried all i wrote before and i had the same result: Nothing work.

I tested the RAM and the Video Card in a other machine and seems to work fine.

The only thing i can't check is the proc.

I double check the pins on processor socket and the processor and seems to be ok.

Am I unlucky? I made some mistake? please help me.

Thanks.m,

I find that I an unable to boot from certain hard drives about 60% of the time with this motherboard.  I have the latest BIOS update and am not seeing a pattern with the drives that work or do not.  One drive is a 1TB physical disk, the other is a 25GB SSD and both are equally unreliable.

At boot I either get a message that no boot devices are detected or else everything works fine.

If I boot from another drive that works consistently, and have another that does not in another SATA port, I often do not have that other drive visible to my OS (Linux) or to the BIOS for that matter.

How can I narrow down the issue to get this fixed?

Thanks,

Rob

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.

Hello and thanks in advance for any help that is offered.

I have recently spent a considerably large amount of funds to build a

DZ87klt-75k w/

i7 4770k processor

series 520 240gb ssd (OS)

Hitachi 1TB HD (data)

G-skill 32g 2800 ram (from memory test list)

Gigabyte 7950 HD graphics card

Rosewill lightning 1300w psu*

Thermaltake VL800 series V3 black chassis

(4) 140mm 2400rpm exhaust fans (includes psu exhaust)

(2) 140mm 2400rpm intake fans

(1) side chassis free air inlet

(2) peripheral (dvd/cd) open slot free air inlet

*yes this is not a "approved" psu and I have the power off restart issue..... whatever... not my biggest issue.

The issue I am having that the Super I/O chipset "Z87" is giving constant and repeated overheating warnings after only minutes of game play. I have done a lot of research on this and for some reason I can find no data about it. I KNOW I am not special.....

Things I have noticed in my researching include that the primary pci x16 slot for graphics centers the higher level cards directly over the Si/o heat sink, is this intentional to monitor graphics temps by the MB? Sure does not make sense due to the heat generation of high level graphics.

           p.s. the graphics card is having zero overheating issues

The next thing I noticed was that the "aftermarket" dz87 vendors are replacing the z87 heat sink (and others) with much more robust and even fan cooled options. This indicates to me that the overheat issue on this aspect has actually been noted and that solutions are being engineered for their boards.

The last thing I found, which brought me here for help, is that there seems to be no fix for this for those of us that have purchased this board as it was originally designed (from Intel ). Please consider I have researched this, these "after market" vendors also sell not "upgrade" option for individual sale to supplement what seems to me to be an oversight in design.

Is there any advice that can be offered for this, I would hope others may find it useful as well? Again, thank you for any help that can be offered, my apologies if this is a difficult one to answer.

Hi there,

I just recently updated to an Intel DZ87KLT-75K and am having a few problems. First of all, I can't update the BIOS to 0344, because if I do, I can not see the BIOS screen. My computer still boots just fine, however, when I try to get to BIOS setup, I cannot see the BIOS screen. I have read about some similar problems on ASUS boards, and they seem to say the video is having a handshake problem with the monitor, making the BIOS screen unreadable. I am having a similar problem. Also, like some other people, I am getting the A6 40 error code on my post code lcd. This seems to say that my main NIC isn't working, and I can make it work by 1: Going to the BIOS and saving and exiting, or 2: unplugging the computer and losing power to the motherboard. If anyone could provide some insight to these problems, that would be great.

Some additional information:

Newer monitors, 2 different resolutions, 1440p and 1600x900. Have tried both, 1 and the other. Both DVI connection

AMD 7970.

RAM is fine and tested.

Have tried updating the BIOS both from the .exe and from the F7.

Power supply is great, tested on 2 other machines.

Also, was having problems with self-restart before I turned off "Wake from LAN" in the BIOS. Now don't have that problem.

Hi

A few weeks ago I had to build a new machine for Adiv MediaComposer / for our cutters.

Basic Specs:

- Intel DX79SR

- Intel Core i7 3930K

- 32GB RAM (GSkill 4x8GB modules)

- Samsung SSD 840 256GB

- Nvidia GeForce GTX 650i Boost

- Win7 x64 Enterprise

Over the last two weeks we had serious problems with that sys.

1. Sporadic Bluescreens (always BluscreenCode 124). Somtimes even at bootup when Windows is loading.

2. Laggy System aprox. every second time we boot the sys. It takes 5-6 Seconds to switch between browsertabs or explorer-windows and even to open the startmenu.

3. One of the CPU-Cores ist always under full-load (100-98%). In Windows Task Manager it's the seventh of the 12 cores)

4. sometimes at Powerup the system does not boot anything (blank black screen after the POST-Screen)

Well - I really dont have any Idea what to do now.

I have upgradet the USB 3.0 Firmwares, all drivers are up to date..

BIOS is updated too

Could that be a hardware failure?

Best Regardes

Hi community,

I recently build a new system with the DX79TO as motherboard, but encountered serious issues which I want to describe here the best I can, so probably anybody has the same isues and could help me with that. So here we go ...

- Newest RSTe drivers should be 3.6.xxx, but when I search for RSTe drivers instead of drivers for my DX79TO, I get an even newer version (3.7.xxx).

- I can't install the firmware-update for the RENESAS USB 3.0 controller. I downloaded and tried both, but one does show me, it is not compatible for my system, the other starts updating the firmware, but at 99% the system brings a BSOD. I tried installing some different O/S (WinXP - Win8, WinServer2003 - 2012), but with EVERY O/S I get a BSOD at 99% progress. Every time! Running the updater with admin-rights did not help, even while logged in as "real" administrator AND right-clicking -> run as admin.

- My GFX-ports SHOULD be PCIe 3.0, but if I plug in a Geforce GTX6xx or 7xx (only one, no SLI or sth. what could change the distribution of availible PCIe slots), GPU-Z shows me PCIe 2.0 instead of 3.0. Is that a known problem? I tried a few cards with different brands / model, but I can't get PCIe 3.0 to work, which is an unacceptable loss of bandwidth. After searching through ark.intel.com I found out the board and my CPU (i7-3820) are shown as PCIe 2.0, but I am 100% sure (!!! really !!!) before I bought it, it showed PCIe 3.0, otherwise I would not have bought it).

- I connected a few HDDs at the SATA-2-ports. If I download sth. from FTP (FileZilla Client) or if I access the HDDs plugged in at an SATA-2-port, I hear a mechanical CLICK here and then. Performance is more than lousy and if I access the HDD by clicking on COMPUTER and then on one of these SATA-2-HDDs, I see a few folders at once, then this CLICKING-noise appears and then tthe rest of the content shows in explorer (about 30 folders in total). A few days back I downloaded about 10gigs and uploaded about 20 gigs on our company-FTP. The clicking-noise came about every 2 or 3 minutes and transfers went down to a few kilobytes/second for a short while. Then transfer continued how it should be. I tried different drivers (RSTe, RST, MSAHCI / Microsoft default ones), but the issue is still there. Since I RMAed the harddisks, because I thought it would be a mechanical issue with the HDDs themself, but the manufacturers (WD, Samsung and Seagate) did not find an issue on these HDDs and the all behave the same (clicking noise), I think it's some error with the board. The SATA-3-ports work very well, no clicking-noise or whatsoever ...

I would be very thankful to get any help here for the problems mentioned, because they drive me mad. After sticking with a Pentium DualCore E6300 for a few years, I thought buying a high-tech-platform with socket 2011 would be the best thing to spend my money on. I am a private individual with no company backing me or anything else, so that is my own money what I saved for MONTHS to get this stuff. Before I bought all my stuff, I searched through forums, reviews, benchmarks and everything only to be sure to get the best stuff availible for my needs (because of that I did not buy a bigger CPU). Flow simulations, AutoCAD, a little gaming and editing of my holiday videos would take advantage from PCIe 3.0 bandwidth.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions. ;-)
