    For BIOS Update: >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

    Hey guys real quick. So after updating to the new 7670IMS>310 bios so that I may use my GTX780s, I reinstalled with windows 8. Everything was fine until I was on teamviewer just last nite and upon switcing sides my bios got corrupted. How do I know you ask? Upon getting back into windows my LANS did not work so I had not internet connection. I tried uninstalling it from Device Manager and deleting it. After a few clrmos. I thought I would switch over to the other bios and see if the LAN works and it does because of the status lights because now it lights up. So I switch back to main bios and LAN works but it would not post whatsoever and just cycles through post finally ending with a " DE ". Not sure what the new LED DEBUG codes are but if someone could post it would be nice to be able to refer to it.
    Anyways on win 8, no matter what it will not let me into windows And when it looks like it will...gives me "your pc ran into problems and we are collecting data and we'll restart after" message. After a few of these wonderful messages, I decided I was going to flash my bios again. It did look like I was sucessful until after restart it did the same thing. Going through post I saw 19,15 then shuts off. Does this and ends with "DE" pc still on but nothing. No windows.
    I got lucky a few times and was able to get into my bios and decided I was going back to Win 7 64......I put the good ole XFX6990 back in and got windows 7 to reinstall and continue to flash my bios to an older one. I used your method before and it work> from 3.0 back to 1.5 then from 1.5 back to 1.2 for OC purposes. So i tried that method but it looked like it just reflash it with 3.1, odd.
    So after a few restarts everything seems fine, no cycles just normal. When I reboot normal process no double boots or cycles this time so I thought hey, that fixed my corrupted bios somehow. I thought I gotten lucky.... So I switch out the good old 6990 and in with my 780s. Reinstalled win 7 and upon completion of windows update. Again with the cycles of 19,15 turns off does this again over and over like 5 or 6 times and ends with "DE"
    And this is where I'm at atm. I remember when I DL'd the flasher and bios. I only saw 2 files which was " VALVE CHECK AND E7670IMS.310".
    When I tried to do it again with the same method as the first I have "
    #BIOS
    #BK_6.Z7
    #EFIFLASH
    #MSIHQ(icon)
    #MSIHQ_INFO
    #MT420"
    This time it does not go through the same when flashing, just tells me bios update complete. I've done this a million times and all have been successful.
    Basically I'm still on 3.1 bios but I 'm curious as what other methods do you suggest I try now? I have left everything alone after reinstalling windows and updates. Everything seems okay, reboots fine no cycles and still get the random hit or miss with 15,19 turns off cycles and ends with "DE". Would like to get a resolution if possible. Thank you and I know I said real quick right, but really. Thanks for any help.
    I'm going nuts!!

  • Beta available for older Mac's ?

    I see there is a Safari for those who have Windows, but those who have the older Macs are unable to update to the newest Safari?
    Why is this?
    And is there a free beta release for those with an older mac ?

    Sad that this is the case, and it doesn't explain the "why" of it... but perhaps it is like many things in life, where we have to wait until we get to Heaven to understand the difficult questions in life. haha
    Anyhow... I suppose I will live... or just use Firefox.
    Have a wonderful week!

  • H61M-E33 B3 - which BIOS version for i5-3570?

    Hi
    My motherboard is MSI H61M-E33 B3,  I was using i3-2100 CPU, but a friend gave me his old i5-3750,  which is far better. I updated my BIOS with Live Update before I swapped CPU's but I guess that my BIOS version is still wrong for this i5, because when I try to run my PC, it beeps 4 times and reset. So my question is, what is exact BIOS version I need for this CPU to work, and where can I download it? I would be really thankful for any help

    Quote from: HenryW on 18-February-15, 08:03:41
    Does it still work with the 13-2100? Did you clear CMOS after BIOS update?
    Yes, and yes. Works perfectly with i3, and I've cleared CMOS, but it didn't help.
    Quote from: Chike on 18-February-15, 08:06:21
    Go to MB support page and check the compatibility list.
    for the last 2 digits/letters, A=10, B=11, C=12 etc, so A2 will be 10.2
    The problem is, on this page - http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H61ME33_B3.html#hero-overview - On the compatibility tab, my i5 is labeled as "7680vC0.zip" - so i guess BIOS version 12.0 - but on the downloads tab, I see only BIOS 12.3 and 12.2, and the next older one is 10.E :/ Should I download this 12.2 or 12.3 versions?
    When I use my Live Update 6 program, with i3 CPU mounted, it tells me that my BIOS version is A.E0 and it is the latest one, and no need to update.
    I'm really, really confused :P

    I have tryd fixing the problems, and have consulted with the experts, but they say I should sent these mb. to warranty..
    So now I am lost at how long is the warranty on MSI motherboards? Can´t read it out from MSI homepage.. Is it 2 years or?
    Do these motherboards have warranty:
    H61MU-E35(B3)- S/N: 601-7680-040B1103119638
    H61M-P22(B3)- S/N: 601-7680-320B1109230317

  • H61M-E33 and AHCI

    Hello,
    I recently grabbed one of the MSi H61M-E33 mainboards from the Microcenter deal a few days back.  Despite the information I see online, and in the board's user manual, it doesn't appear to have AHCI support.  Does anyone know if MSi is looking into this?  I gave them a call, but they just had me update the BIOS, which did nothing.
    In UEFI, it even describes each of the settings like AHCI was supposed to be an option, but it's just not there.  It doesn't look like I'm alone, either.  I see a couple mentions of this around the internet, but I didn't see anything here so I thought I'd ask.
    Thanks!

    Quote from: HU16E on 29-March-11, 06:12:44
    Might be some information concerning that in this thread; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=146755.0
    Interesting.  I didn't see that thread because it's on a different board.  So two of MSi's H61 boards are exhibiting this problem.  I do see they share the same firmware, and looking around online there are rumors that H61MU-E35 has a UEFI update on the way to fix the issue.
    Hopefully this gets corrected soon.

  • H61M-E33 won't post with SATA controller installed

    I'm having trouble with using a specific PCIe x1 SATA controller with my H61M-E33. 
    This board has three PCIe slots, and I'm trying to use three PCIe x1 SATA controller cards.  Two cards are based upon the SiL 3132 chipset, and work perfectly.  The JMicron JMB363 chipset card is the problem.
    If I insert the JMB363 card into any slot, the board will refuse to even post.  It sits there for a few seconds, then power cycles.  It will do this over and over until you pull the switch off the power supply.  It will do this if inserted into any slot on the board, and even if no other cards are installed.
    This card works perfectly in another machine.  It appears there is some kind of conflict between this card's chipset and the motherboard.
    I'm running the latest beta firmware that's available (A41), but I had this same problem on the shipping firmware (A20).  Is there anything I can do to try to figure out what is going on?

    Quote
    The JMicron JMB363 chipset card is the problem.
    Recommend to contact both MSI Tech Support with a ticket, & it may also be a good idea to contact the card manufacturer & see what they have to say as well. It is rather apparent it is a compatibility conflict of some kind since the other two cards work fine.

     I've just got hold of a GTX760 graphics card, but having a spot of bother with the fan not powering up as it should--it's been tried in another system and all is well so it's been suggested that I need a BIOS update for my own machine.
    Is this correct, and if so which one?
    System comprises of:
    H61M-E33 motherboard
    i5-2500K CPU
    8 GB Kingston value RAM, 1333MHz (2x4GB modules as a pair)
    850W XFX PSU
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Sorry for the delay in replying chaps, things went a bit haywire at work.
    Thanks for the BIOS link and instructions Svet; this updated well but unfortunately didn't resolve the issue--which now seems to NOT be a BIOS one anyway!
    Chika; the problem is/was that the fan on the graphics card would only 'kick in' (if at all) when the card was already too hot, resulting in the system freezing. A friend from a few houses away offered to test the card in his system, I know he has a 970GPU but not what the CPU etc is, but his testing was actually flawed as I'd given him the impression that I could get no output at all from the card. All he did was try it, saw a decent image on his screen and concluded that the card was OK and that it could need the motherboard BIOS updating as he'd had to do this on his machine.
    The cooling afforded by my case seems to have been sufficient to keep the temperatures within the safe zone for *normal* uses, but not for anything such as playing a game to put the card under stress.
    Whilst all this was happening I'd contacted the cards manufacturer who replied saying that it shouldn't need a BIOS revision and that the card itself was most likely faulty and started the RMA procedure.
    So, thanks for all the help and sorry for leading you off on the wrong track.
