MPG Coreliquid P13 Problem after updating the firmware + EZ Display MSI center bug

Hello,
I recently purchased and installed the MSI MPG CoreLiquid P13 360. Initially, everything seemed to be working, except for a major issue:
when launching games in full-screen mode, the AIO LCD screen would display my Windows desktop and my game would minimize after about one second.
While looking for a fix, I found that there was a firmware update available for the P13, so I updated the firmware and installed the latest version of MSI Center along with EZ Display. After that, the issue appeared to be resolved — however, new problems started to occur.
Sometimes the LCD randomly shows my desktop icons, and on every cold boot the AIO gets stuck in an infinite MSI logo loop.
More importantly, after installing MSI Center, my CPU (Ryzen 9 9950X3D) was constantly running at very high frequency even while completely idle, causing abnormally high idle temperatures.
I spent a lot of time troubleshooting (BIOS tuning, uninstalling software, etc.), and the only thing that finally fixed the high idle clocks and temperatures was completely uninstalling MSI Center and rebooting the system. After doing this, my CPU behavior returned to normal.
However, I am now left with another issue:
on every boot, the AIO LCD is stuck in an infinite logo loop until I manually go into Device Manager and disable the AicUSBDevice to fully shut it down. I currently have to do this every single time I start my PC.
This situation is extremely frustrating, especially considering the product is marketed as a premium solution. At the moment, I am experiencing instability, broken software behavior, and major CPU side effects just to make the LCD function correctly.




System Specifications:
• Motherboard: MSI MAG X870E TOMAHAWK MAX WIFI PZ
• CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D
• GPU: RTX 5070 Ti
• RAM: 32 GB
• AIO Cooler: MSI MPG CoreLiquid P13 360

Often times MSI Center can mess with your power profiles. The only proper one is the "Balanced" profile.

See here for various threads about it:

Make sure to disable "USB boost" and "storage boost" if you have them, and check that the power plan is on Balanced.

Like most such software to control RGB stuff or the display of something, it's not very good. I assume the newest BIOS for the motherboard is installed?
 
I had 0 features installed except EZ Display + Even though when I changed back the power plan to balanced nothing changed. Also it is not the CPU load problem, I had 9% load max but the problem is that the cpu was running at max freq( around 5.6 GHZ) all the time even when idle, which causes high temps and not stable gaming experience
 
Good afternoon!

I support the topic. I have the same problem on Ryzen 9800X3D. Except for the abnormal processor frequency.When you select "duplicate screens" in Windows screen settings, when you start any game, it collapses and throws it back to the desktop. It is possible to return to the application for a second, then returns to the desktop again.
Disabling the screen extension function for duplication helps, but then the LMS screen does not work normally. It freezes in one position (static picture).

I installed the updates from December 30th and had a lot of trouble reinstalling MSI Center and EZ Display. But it didn't help.
The problem has not been solved yet. Please help us.

Yes, this is usually a hallmark sign of a power plan issue, forcing the CPU to stay on high clock speeds unnecessarily. When you see something like this, open the properties of the currently active power plan and check the minimum processor state. It should be on 5%. If it's on 100% for example, it must've messed with it.

Nope. I even saw fps drop by a lot when using it even in borderless. They bave to update the firmware i guess
OMG i thought i am crazy or its my hardware problem, thanks a lot of confiriming same story here!!! FPS drops window minimizing also now local videos playing with borders, do you have same issue or videos works in fullscreen?
