  • Xp 64 bit no longer works with AMI bios 1.2?!

    Hi,
    Having managed to get XP 64 bit working ok on my new machine I thought I should upgrade my AMI bios on my K8t Neo Fis2r MoBo.
    I upgraded from 1.1 to 1.2 and now XP 64 bit will not boot!
    It will work in safety mode but not normal, so I suspected a driver.
    Removed all the drivers and that did not work so I decided to reinstall the OS.
    And now during the OS setup it just hangs!!!!
    My bios settings are the same the only difference is the bios version.
    Has anyone else had this problem or got a soloution???
    System spec:
    CPU: Athlon64 3200+
    MoBo: MSI K8T Neo fis2r
    RAM: 2 x kingston cl3 512mb
    HDD: seagate 160gb SATA
    Video: PNY geforce fx 5600

    I posted the solution to the Microsoft newsgroup and some other forums.  Glad to see your got yours working again.
    This appears to be related to MS having a nasty kludge to work around erratum93 (smm mode bug relating to the execution of the HLT instruction on stepping C athlons) included in XP64 which gets enabled at install time; please note I dont have any forensics to back this up at this stage as I havent had time to put any real effort into reverse engineering it, Im just presenting an opinion based on the facts I have observed in my tests.
    I have now succeeded in several installs of XP-64 on identically configured 1.1 and 1.2 bios systems; but in no cases has XP-64 survived a bios upgrade from 1.1 to 1.2 *unless* legacy USB (and all other sources of smm mode operation) were disabled, regardless of the Cool n Quiet issue.
    I am trying the 1.32 bios later today (as this apparently has a correct fix for erratum 93 *cough*aboutbloodytime*cough* included).
    err!

  • SVET . can you modify AMI bios ?

    You enabled the overclocking features of my MSI a5000 bios.
    So, I have to ask you if this is possible........ ?
    I have an amd am2+ motherboard asus m3a78-em with AMI bios. It does not have northbridge frequency multiplier feature in bios.
    But, I think it is hidden and not enabled.
    The bios you can download below.
    Code: [Select]
    here is the m3a78-em latest bios:
    http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socketAM2/M3A78-EM/M3A78-EM-ASUS-2701.zip
    I looked at the m3a78-em bios strings, and there is "0x03AD CPU/NB Frequency", which can also act like NB freq multiplier.
    there are also strings for speed values- 1000mhz, 1200,1400,1600,1800,2000.....2600mhz.
    How do you safely enable the cpu/nb frequency in bios ??
    I do not know how to edit the bios. Can you tell me how ?
    If it can be enabled, it should look something like this......... but up to 2600mhz.
    [Advanced>Jumper free configuration>CPU Ratio and voltage > CPU/NB Frequency]

    This is an MSI forum, not Asus, as such Svet does not modify Asus BIOS.
    Sorry, topic locked.

  • Msi Kt133 & Ami Bios

    Hi,
    I'd like to upgrade the bios of a KT133 motherboard, but is an AMI BIOS, and  i found nowhere an upgrade concerning this bios.

  • Ami Bios Flash

    I was in the process of flashing my 5.1 KT600 FISR AMI BIOS to the 5.2 release to hopefully fix the 20 second hang after POST as I am using a single SATA drive, but could not actually run the command to flash the bios.
    As instructed in the doc file, I made a Win98 boot disk and a disk containing the self-extracting file from the MSI website. Then I reset and booted up with the boot disk and copied the files from the disk containing the flash files to the ramdrive on c:\
    When I ran the exe file I was supposed to, it gave me a line about Command Usage, and the commands. But I couldn't for the life of me get any of these commands to do anything!!
    First, I typed in: DOSFLASH ROM_FILE /S    but just got I then realised that dosflash rom_file meant the exe file.
    So I typed: EXE FILE.EXE /S   (can't remember the exe file name right now), but all this did was refresh the exe and brang up the commands and command usage again.
    Am I doing this completely wrong?
    I also copied over the over file along with the EXE file, a .520 file- I guess this file is needed if you actually run the EXE with a command, which I didn't work out how to do!!!
    Can someone help me out?? Your help would be greatly appreciated!!
    Thanks

    Best to ask somebody that did it before or use LiveUpdate....

  • AMI BIOS 2.2 Memory Settings

      Maybe it's just me, but I can't get the memory settings in the AMI BIOS 2.2 (MSI K8T-Neo FIS2R) to do anything.  Changes make no difference and the memory just runs at its SPD information every time (I'm using sandra to make this determination).  I've run memtest 86+ on this memory at lower settings (3-3-3-6-1T) with no problems.  In addition, A64 tweaker shows memory values as reserved values, so I can't tweak with it either.
    The system is perfectly stable (it should be, given that it's running at the most conservative settings possible).
    RAM is in slots 1&2 so it's not a DDR333/DDR400 1T/2T Athlon64 limitation.  I have an Abit Kv8-max3 that runs this memory fine at 2.5-3-3-6-1T. (Hate to say it, but Phoenix's award core is MUCH more feature rich than these AMI BIOSes)
      I didn't have this problem with the previous BIOS, but I'm a believer in running the latest, greatest BIOS. This statement is based on the 7 years I spent in x86 BIOS development at Compaq and Dell (while sempron D0 fix is all that's listed, I'd bet there's other subtle bugs resolved in the latest BIOS).  Push comes to shove and I'll just reflash the 2.1 or 2.0 BIOS, but I can't imagine that MSI would have just broken this in a recent BIOS release.

    There are a lot or reports on this Bios being broken. Just do a search for 2.2 Bios and see what is up.

  • K9AG Neo2-DIgital: AMI BIOS v1.7 has no AHCI setting

    Hi folks,
    I recently upgraded my K9AG Neo2-Digital AMI BIOS from its original version (I don't remember what exactly) to v1.7 (the latest available on the MSI website).  Before the upgrade I had three choices for the SATA mode: IDE, ACHI, and RAID.  Now the setting is called "RAID Mode" and the only choices are: IDE, RAID.
    What happened to the AHCI setting?  I've been doing a lot of reading lately, and there doesn't seem to be a shortage of people having problems with AHCI and this board.  Perhaps the latest BIOS simply disables it because of issues?
    Anyway, it's a bit of a bummer because I finally got the latest Vista x64 AHCI drivers from both Microsoft (msahci.sys) and MSI (ahcix64s.sys) slipstreamed into my Vista setup DVD so I could try to do a repair install and get Vista to work in AHCI mode.  I had originally installed it in IDE mode, and thought, hey why not try AHCI (or RAID in the future).  Now I can't even choose AHCI mode in the BIOS.  The original Vista install DVD wouldn't even load if I enabled AHCI in the BIOS - presumably due to the older msahci.sys drivers not supporting the SB600 at all.
    I tried RAID mode, and the RAID BIOS detected my existing Vista drive as 1+0 JBOD, and the Vista install DVD detected the Vista installation on the drive (after loading the ahcix64s.sys driver), but I don't see any Vista repair installation option.  This is off topic, but is there even such a thing in Vista?  I know XP has a repair install that will fix the OS but leave all your apps and settings in tact.
    I get the feeling that Vista and AHCI/RAID were just never meant to work with the SB600 :(
    Any thoughts?

  • BIOS recovery process for HP systems with AMI BIOS?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to fix an HP a6718uk model PC which has an M2N78-LA motherboard and (I think) and AMI BIOS.  A BIOS update that came through HP Update has failed, and the machine will not boot.
    As it's out of warranty the HP Repair Centre want £200.00 to fix it, even though a simple BIOS recovery process should be sufficient - does anyone know the BIOS recovery process for these systems?   Everything I've read (not specific to these boards) says you should be able to put a BIOS update (called AMIBOOT.ROM) on either a floppy, CD, or USB memory stick, and boot holding down Ctrl-Home and it will perform the recovery, but I've not been able to get this to work successfully.  HP don't supply a standalone update so I've extracted the file from the BIOS update SP.exe on the HP support site.
    Any help would be most appreciated!
    Cheers,
    Andrew
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Brilliant idea - I tried AMIBOOT.BIN and that didn't work, but then took the Hex Editor to the file - it's HPBIOS.ROM
    Renamed the file to HPBIOS.ROM and all now works.
    To recap for anyone reading the thread, this was from an HP machine with a corrupt AMI BIOS, to get it back, extract the ROM file from the SP.exe file from the HP website, rename it from VLE5.22 (or whatever the file is that ends in a numeric) to HPBIOS.ROM and copy onto a floppy diskette.   Put the floppy in the internal diskette drive (in my case a Sony OEM drive attached using a grey floppy ribbon cable) and boot the machine.  You may need to hold down Ctrl-Home, but not 100% sure.   After a long while the machine will give 4 or 5 beeps, and reset itself.  Once it's done that it will boot normally.
    Thanks for your help David - much appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Andrew

  • Neo AMI bios Splash Screen?

    Is there any way to change the MSI splash screen on my Neo 875p (8xtreme graphic &c.)? My dell inspiron has a program for doing this, and it's a very cool feature. I was told by MSI that it can be done, but only for oem vendors. Has anyone stumbled across software for changing the splash screen on ami bioses? Moderators: maybe you can request the software from MSI?
    Thanks

    Yes, there is a way to put your own picture or logo in a bios. There are several programs and many steps to be taken in the process. Go to vp6-board.com and look in the hacked bios section. The links to all necessary programs are there and full instructions as to each step in the process. I have done this in the past on an Abit VP6 mobo I just retired a few days ago. Be SURE to follow all instructions! If you screw up your bios... since it isn't a plug-in type... I don't think Microstar will be any help to you or even badflash.com
    I don't recommend trying this unless you have mucho experience, and money to buy another board if ya make a mistake.

  • Current AMI Bios save instructions?

    Hi,
    1) Am running the KT4VL with 1.1 bios - using liveupdate 2, it does NOT detect the new bios that it available for KT4V boards...how' that :(
    I also tried MSI Live Monitor search capabilities and same issue - cannot detect new bios for the board...weird..I could flash it the manual way but I like how it was done when flashing the 1.1 bios using liveupdate2...
    2) Are there any instructions to save current bios out to disk/floppy for AMI? I like to save previous bios eventhough you can get them back from the site...just to be safe...
    Thanks,
    --fibo

    I can just add that I have always used the floppy method but then I also have a UPS. I don't trust the Windows LiveUpdate for BIOS.
    I see that my 1.3 disk that I created from MSI does setup a RAM disk and flashes from RAM (although that solves the bad floppy issue - it does not help if you lose power during the flash) - that's why I purchased a BIOS Savior (12 pounds from scan.co.uk), not sure about Official 1.4 from MSI as I now use beta's.
    The only flash I have seen fail was when I tried 1.52Beta into my Bios Savior (had to first flash 1.3 then 1.52)

  • A Bug(?) discovered in AMI BIOS 3.A0

    Hi everyone, this is my first post here although I've been browsing throught his forum for long...
    I have an MSI 865PE Neo2-P PLS MS-6728 Motherboard, and have just flashed it with the new 3.A0 BIOS after the ridiculously unrealistic temperatures with 3.90,... But I've discovered a problem with it (or maybe my computer in this case), please help...
    -> The problem is with the BIOS suspend/resume capabilities, I currently have the "StandBy" setting at S3/STR in the BIOS, so when I choose to suspend from Windows, the computer almost completely powers down.... That's great, and used to work with 3.90 and 3.80, but today I discovered this bug by accident...
    ---> I clicked Start > Turn off the computer > Suspend and watched Windows XP Pro's blue "Preparing to stand by...." screen, then the system suspended...
    ----------- Then a blackout occured while the system was suspended
    ------> Then when I press the power button the ATX chassis (after power was back on), the Green Power LED comes on, and all the fans spin up and I can see the D-LED bracket going through the first two phases:  "Early Chipset Initialization" and "Init Onboard Memory Size" (as documented by the 865PE manual)...
    --> It does that in 2 seconds, then everything turns off (the fans stop, power LED goes off, CPU off...etc.), then it tries to turn on back again.... and so on, constantly looping the first 2 phases....so once I suspend the PC it cannot get back to normal mode....
    --------> Through trial and error and eliminating any of my components to be the issue, I temporarily got it to boot by removing one RAM module and pressing Reset on the case, twice, then turning it off again, and re-inserting the RAM module, then power back on....
    ---> After that, I was able to reproduce the problem several times, with the same solution....(even tried to reset BIOS but same results)
    ------------> This has never happened before and I do not have any hardware issues, Did a MEMTEST86 for more than 12 hours with both modules and all tests pass (even the extended ones), also checked PSU: running fine...
    --> I think this is a bug, please experiment with the BIOS and try to confirm if it exists....
    ---> Running Windows XP Pro updated with SP2...
    ---> 2x256MB PC3200 DDR-SDRAM Dual-Channel Mode (Slots 1 and 3)
    ---> 2.60C GHz Intel Pentium 4 CPU (Northwood core) 800 MHz FSB
    ---> MSI nVidia GeForce FX5200U 128MB AGP 8x (v3.0) Graphics Card....
    ---> 1x80GB 7200 RPM Western Digital Caviar ATA100 Hard disk drive....
    ---> ASUS CD-500S CD-ROM drive...

    Please Help !!!
    My problem has just got worse !!!
    --> The day before yesterday (when I posted on the forum), I shut down the computer normally, and went to sleep....
    ----> Next morning, I wanted to boot the computer to check if the problem is still there, and to my surprise and extreme frustration, the board will ABSOLUTELY NOT BOOT no matter what I do !! I'm posting now from a CyberCafe since I can't get my PC started at all!!
    -----> Details:
    ---> First when I turn on the PC for first time... The power and HDD LEDS come on and the fans just start to spin, then everything goes off.. (similar to before) but without looping.. Once it's off it won't turn on again (ie: won't respond to power button), to get it to turn on, I have to disconnect the mains and reconnect it, just to see it do that again after I press ON...
    --> Checked D-LED, gives code for "Early Chipset initialization" before it turns off...
    -----> Removed one RAM module (same trick before) and tried to boot ...
      > It's behaviour changed: When I press On, the power LED doesn't come on, but the HDD LED comes on (but without the HDD spinning up) and all the fans spin up and then it stays like that.... It does however respond to force OFF "Press OFF for 10 seconds", but once it's off it won't turn on again (as before)....
       > Checked D-LED... Gives 4 Red lights (System power on) and points to the CPU as the culprit, so I tried to reset the BIOS (clear CMOS jumper) and same problem...
        > So I started checking the CPU, I removed it and connected it again to no avail...., started checking the ATX12V connector...
          > Got some interesting results, when I first removed the ATX12V connector and tried to boot, it did behaviour number one (starts and then immediately turns off), but I booted it again anyway and got behaviour number two (HDD LED and all fans spinning and nothing)... Hmm that's strange....
           > Reconnected the ATX12V connector and tried to boot, same results...
    Conclusion: The mainboard behaves the same way, whether the CPU is installed or not!!! That means either the PSU is gone, mainboard is gone or the CPU got fried, although I can't imagine how that could have happened as all the Voltage readings were within normal limits and temperatures were within my normal (43-57) temps.......
    ---> I have currently disconnected the PSU and will take it to a service shop to have it checked out, also thinking of disconnecting mainboard and taking it to place of purchase and see if it needs to be repaired and/or replaced......(I have absolutely NO idea how it got damaged in the first place !)
    Another question:
      > How do I contact MSI's tech support (by email), I tried using their quirky method (via MSI LiveUpdate WebPage) but I don't think it got sent, since when you click "Send" it tries to send via "Outlook" and I don't have that configured or even use it (I use Yahoo! Mail).... can someone provide a direct mail address since I can't seem to find it on their website....
    -----> Although I will go offline now in like 30 minutes, I will check the forums again tomorrow before I take any action...
    ---> Any feedback will be seriously appreciated...

  • On-Chip IDE Configuration for AMI BIOS ver 6.1

    Please help with my IDE configuration. I cleared my CMOS that's why I have to configure it again.
    - One (1) SATA Seagate 80gig HDD (this is where my OS is installed)
    - One (1) SATA Seagate 160gig HDD
    - One (1) IDE LG DVD Writer
    I tried to configure it based on some of the posts in these forums but only the SATA drives were always detected.
    I know for sure that my DVD ROM is still functioning since it works perfectly before I cleared my CMOS.
    Thanks.

    Thanks NovJoe for the response.

    ATA Configuration: S-ATA Only
    P-ATA Keep Enabled: Yes
    P-ATA Channel Selection: Both
    After configuring my bios, I also tried to reconnect my DVD-ROM IDE cable and it solved my problem.

  • MSI 7360 Ami bios 1.10A

    I have an Oc'ed CPU q9300 intel... 3.1 Ghz on this mobo.
    Does anyone know if there is a way to eliminate through bios Vdroop? My setting in bios is been used as a CPU load value. Im 0.05V higher while idle. Is there any kind of LLC or sth to get rid of Vdroop and get higher OC? (P35)

    Your right :D But its from 2007 till now many years already . !! So i think i prefer stay under recomended VID's intel gives me . If i just could eliminate idle high voltages i could get a little higher !!

  • MOVED: AMI bio flash interrupted!!!

    This topic has been moved to BIOS.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=128107.0

    So I just skimmed your code and did find some inneficency and a red flag for why your animations are just stopping.  I've had 1500 tweens running at once with good performance, so I'm sure you're not hitting Flash's performance threshhold with number of tweens.  The following code is suspect:
    function revealContent(theObject:Object,theAlpha:Number):void
         var mynewalphaTween:Tween = new Tween(theObject,"alpha",None.easeNone,theObject.alpha,theAlpha,3,true);
    Since you have no reference for the tween stored after execution of the function, the tween can get garbage collected mid run, very effectively ending the animation.  I'd store your tweens in an array, add an event listener and function to respond to it's completion, and remove the reference to the tween from the array when its complete.  Since the clean up code is generic, you'll only need 1 function and can add the same listener to all your tweens.  The above code is only one example from your code, you treat your tweens the same through out it all.
    Also, your state change code, ie. function homeClick():void could be cleaner and abstracted.  You're pretty much brute force coding this part.  I'd suggest storing state information (object positions, ect.) in a data structure and conditionally loading the correct data set and running it through the same function.  Would cut your code down to 1/3 of what it is now. 
    I'm not seeing any code at all that handles the adding and removing of displayObjects from stage.  Not correctly handling this can cause HUGE performance problems.  Best practice, if you don't want something to be seen, remove it from stage.  Dropping an object's alpha to 0 or turning it's visibility to false does not stop it from being sent to the rendering engine.  Not to mention you can end up with objects on stage that have been forgotten about in code and will be persisted for the life of the session.
    Hope it helps.
