BIOS 2.00 Update

I just updated my 4 day old computer with this update. It said not to have anything running, not to push power button, close the lid, etc. it said my computer had to restart. I turned off and never turned back on. Can I turn it back on or do I need to wait? I am very computer illiterate.

Hi,
Sorry you didn't get a response sooner. As it's been a couple days, I'm guessing you might have already taken an action, but I think it's safe to turn it on. Let us know if it's working okay!

  • Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

    I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
    The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
    I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
    Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

    what OS you are running?

    have you tried to load last good known configuration or the last windows restore point?
    or to reinstall OS?

  • X301 post BIOS / Model Number update System Time problems

    Dear community,
      I recently updated my BIOS using the thinkvantage flash BIOS utility for no reason other than it appeared on the update utility. I also updated the model number, once again for no real reason other than update pleasure. Now, everything works perfectly fine on the system, and I have no problems EXCEPT:
    I use New York Times Adobe Air product called "Times Reader". Since the update, when I try to log into the Times Reader I get an error that states "Authentication Error. Check that your system time is set correctly." In the pre-boot set up screen the time seems to be set right, and in the windows utility the time is set correctly. So my questions is,
     after a BIOS flash / Model # update, does the system time function need some re-boot / update? 
    Thanks! 

    Well I still dunno what the problem was.  It seemed as if the system would have to be running for a day or two before it would start to speed up, as if it was actually gaining a few milliseconds cumulatively every second...
    Anyway, through other testing (OC & such) I flashed to 1.5B5 and it is running pretty good, and seems to have fixed the time problem.
    On a side note, 1.5B5 is the first BIOS that actually makes Cool 'N Quiet work (to underclock to 1GHz at idle & dynamically OC when needed).
    If anyone has experienced this time issue, please post findings!  For now, it's fixed for me, so I'm not going to worry about it

  • Z87-GD65: Live Update 5.0.112 does not display BIOS 1.8 update

    As the title says Live Update 5.0.112 does not display BIOS 1.8 update for the Z87-GD65. Yet Live Update 5.0.111 does show the BIOS 1.8 update. Why is this so?

    I have to be honest and say I am tearing my hair out trying to update the BIOS on this motherboard. Why is it so convoluted? 
    1. I tried the USB boot with FPT. I can't get the FPT and BIOS files to show when I reboot to the bootable USB stick. Apparently the FPT version is used to also flash the "me extension"? (Whatever the hell that is).
    2. I can't use the Live Update because it is unreliable (as claimed by the forum).
    3. I can't use MFLASH because that doesn't work properly and corrupts the BIOS.
    4. Yet another method is to download the "MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher". Which is in a .RAR file no less!
    Geez MSI you don't make it easy for the average punter. When I had a Gigabyte motherboard it was a simple Windows flash utility and it worked!
    Is there one single easy way to update this BIOS?!   

  • HELP: Failure flashing BIOS using Live Update 5

    Hi,
    I used Live Update 5 to download the latest BIOS version for my MB. Then when I was running the update, I chose "". (I know it's incorrect and I should have chosen the other one.) After the update, the machine restarted and showed a cursor blinking on the top left on a black screen, and it wouldn't proceed any more. I can enter the BIOS without a problem. I can also boot from CD or USB, but the windows on my machine simply wouldn't boot.
    After the problem arose, I have tried flashing the BIOS with the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing tool on this forum. It tells me that  but the same problem remains.
    What should I do now?
    Thanks for your time and consideration!

    After any flash, the battery should be removed for awhile and the CMOS cleared. Reset all your BIOS menu settings again making sure the boot order etc. is correct and the proper mode is selected that your OS was installed under, i.e. IDE or AHCI mode.

  • Big fan noise problem: the rear fan won't shut off, the BIOS won't update, systemupdate locks up

    I received new ThinkStaion (oh boy, lots of memory and CPU speed, yay!)
    I unfortunately left the originally installed Vista OS on there.  Very much regretting that as I believe it contributes to the following problems (BIOS).
    So the original problem was that after just a month of using my new ThinkStation, the System Board died, and it had to be replaced. Honestly, all I did was choose the sleep or hibernate option in Vista to shut down.  Afterwards,poof! didn't even get the proper Power lights on the system.  I diagnosed this with the online docs and then sat for a few hours on our tech support line doing all the same things to re-diagnose it.  
    So after the replacement, the rear fan will not shut off. Jet engine noise all day. I went into the system settings and selected "Quiet" for the Fan settings but that did not help.
    Research on this forum resulted in the possibility of a BIOS update fixing the problem.  Comparison to my co-workers systems which arrived at the same time shows this BIOS is woefully out of date, so even if it does not fix the fan issue I want to update it.  However, everything I've tried to do is failing for one reason or another. 
    (The fan issue does need resolution since in one week I will end up sharing an office (first time in many years, thanks IBM for nothing!) so since I don't want us both to have to wear noise cancelling headsets, I'd like to fix this without having to just pull the @#$@ power to the fan. Grrrr. )
    I downloaded what I felt were the appropriate Lenovo apps to update both the BIOS and the serial number but none seem to work properly from the command line in Vista.  One of the two (can't recall which) asks me to reboot and it never actually shuts down. Eternal "Shutting Down" message. Ga!  The other throws some gosh awful

    error 1275 no admin priv - I AM the administrator account, there is no other acct to use!
    Then I decided Vista might be the problem and found sites recommending flashing the BIOS from a bootable USB.  So I started down that path and after burning the wrong version, finally geting the AIK Vista tools installed and to the point of trying to make the USB bootable, it won't allow me to put the OS boot on it.  Ah, for the days when a simple "sys a:" took care of that.
    So, after reformatting the USB and pounding my head in the wall, keyboard, etc. I am at my wit's end.  What to do.  I just want the fan noise to go away.
    This does seem to duplicate other forum messages but I can't get anywhere on this.  Help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    FYI to all the helpful folks here (and any looking to shut their jet engine off as well): Flashing the BIOS did the trick.
    First I had to find a website with DOS OS files and put those on the USB instead of Vista.  Oldie but a goodie, but at least it booted! No other versions would.
    I had been intending to use the WinPhlash utility that Lenovo supplied with the BIOS update but since I was booting from DOS that was useless. However, I found a DOS version of it and used that instead. Boom baby!  Flashed and rebooted. 
    It did take two boots to get it back to normal (first one gave very alarming messages about no operating system being found but I think it was just a remnant of the reboot that was triggered from the DOS session).  A second boot returned life to normal and blissful silence from the server.  And I was finally able to get the model and serial number back in there to get rid of the bootup message it throws for that too.
    Ahhhhhhh. 
    Thanks to all for the hints - I believe I had gotten the idea of flashing the BIOS to solve this from some other thread I found here.  This is a very nice forum to have bookmarked.  

  • M50 Bios 1.9 Update question due to multiple issues on 1.7

    Hi
    I have a Satellite M50-196 that I got only a few weeks ago and I've been experiencing many issues. The current Bios version on the laptop is 1.7 and from the bios page for M50 series I can see that there is a version 1.9.
    I had to remove XP home and installed my copy of XP Pro with SP2. Everything went great. Everything works perfect except a few issues. Here goes:
    - First the Wireless Adapter has some sort of problem because when I connect to my home network from time to time I have to run repair connection on windows because it gets really slow. I have a 4mb cable connection at home and usually it runs at 400k... but from time to time stops completly and starts again after a few seconds and some other times gets as slow as 40k. This is not an cable provider issue or wireless base station issue because I have a desktop computer that uses wireless also with no issues. This happens with the laptop connected to the power supply or running on batt. I have the latest Intel 2200BG wireless adapter drivers.
    - The second problem is when I close the screen. The laptop should go to stand by but instead the standby light never gets orange and the laptop is completly locked. The power button stays blue, it does not shutsdown the laptop or turns it on even after leaving the button pressed for many seconds (15-20). The only way to solve the issue is to remove the battery completly and attach is again.
    - The third and final problem, so far, is with Virtual PC 2004 with SP1. The virtual machines run very slow, and the processos usage is most of the time at 99%. The time on a virtual PC goes faster than normal then it blocks completly and starts again. For example 10 seconds goes by in 5 seconds then it blocks for a few seconds. This behaviour seems to be happening with more people using centrino laptops with 915 chipset and some manufactors already fixed this. A guy on another forum reported that he fixed a DELL laptop with a recent bios update.
    So because all of these I'm considering upgrading to version 1.9 of the bios but before I do I would like to know if anyone had any issues with this upgrade, and would also like to know if its safe to run the windows bios update. I know its suposed to be safe but I would like to know if anyone ever reported any issues with it and what precautions should I take... like for example... is it important to remove the bios and hdd passwords?
    Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post :)
    Best regards

    Hi Thanks!
    I just got the adrenaline rush of the day by the way....
    I've open the zip file with the 1.9 bios and ran setup... it just asked me where to uncompress it that by default is to c:\windows\temp and does not let me change it...
    I pressed ok and I was hoping to get a chance to see exacly what it would do.... but to my surprise it just started to backup imediatly the existent bios and uploading the new one without any warning!!!!
    This is a realy dangerous pocedure. If I didnt had the power cable connected or if I didnt had closed my programs it would probably run anyway with all the potential problems that this could bring.
    I didnt managed to change the bios and HD pasword, because I was hoping to do so after cheking out the procedure and reading the expected readme file with change log and stuff like that... but the good news is that it maintained the passwords.
    The VPC issue seems to be solved as well the closing the screen and entering stand by mode.
    The wireless network issue seems solved for now but only time will tell. I had an issue that after returning from stand by the wireless network was not working. I rebooted and seems fine now. Ill keep this link with me just in case. Thanks.
    Toshiba people... if you are reading this... please fix this issue with the bios setup on windows. I would like to see a warning and the option to start the bios upgrade myself, instead of starting it automatically as soon as setup ends, I would also like to be able to select where to store the files and where to put the backups and finally I would like a warning to close all software, plug the laptop to the power supply and stuff like that.
    Also why not provide a change log of some sort? I dont know what this bios fixed. Seems that fixed at least some of my issues... I think... but what else? I cant find anywhere on the website any info regarding what as included on the update
    And no I didnt pressed any keys or mouse buttons after or during the install. I was very carefull with that believe me :)
    R2D2.. thanks for your help !
    best regards

    Dear Tripod Member,
      In order to guarantee a high-quality service on Tripod, we had to close your website http://members.lycos.co.uk/syar2003/ as it was found abusive. 
    Both HTTP and FTP access have been closed.
    Guess my rather large ISO , was what tipped them over .
    ==================================================
    07.16.05 (mm-dd-yy)
    ==================================================
    There are more and more people asking about how to flash bios outside windows from
    DOS without having a floppy drive .
    Well here is the solution .
    I Have compiled a ISO file that holds all the most used bioses for all the K8N Neo motherboards .
    The cd also includes the volkov commander (norton commander clone) for easy navigating .
    Click on the "MSI K8N NEO/FSR & Neo2-Neo4 Bioses" text over the platinum BMP picture to get to the directory listing.
    Go into the sub directory " ALL_BIOS_ISO " and download the ISO image for the bootable BIOS compilation CD " MS_CD5.iso " .
    Then burn the ISO with your favorite cd burning application.
    Again note the correct flash routine , clear PnP , clead cmos , clear dmi , and load defaults after flash , theese have become
    essensial to use with flashing to ther newer bioses for all boards and is even posted on MSI's bios pages.
    Flash with the command line
    AWFL859G.EXE 7100NMS.350 /py/sn/cc/cd/cp/f/e
    (change award flasher exe program and bios file as neccesary)
    After flash , turn off the PSU .
    Power on again , enter bios , and load bios defaults followed by a cmos exit with save .
    Note that this is just a service . I will take no responsiblitity of the outcome of the bios flashing .

    This one has the same boot block as 1.51B but different from all others .
    ==================================================
    12.07.2004
    ==================================================
    Update of boot block is not always neccesary.
    Theese tables show with a letter the boot block version of each bios.
    The bat file includes a /wb switch which reprograms bootblock .
    If the flash goes wrong with boot block flashed and the boot block gets corrupted , no floppy rescue can be done.
    Then it's adviced only to use the /wb swich in the included bat file when neccesary.

    Only when flashing from one bios version to another bios version where boot block is different the /wb switch should be used .
    If boot block it's equal in the source and target bios the /wb switch can be dropped if this is prefered.

    Theese are tested by several users (including myself and work fine)

    First off get the BIOS version you want to flash:
    Take a look at syar2003's excellent collection!
    http://members.lycos.co.uk/syar2003/S754_neo_plat_bios/
    Download the BIOS version you want, extract the .zip and put the files on a bootable floppy. Syar2003 supplies a handy flash.bat file with "his" 1.55 that you can use. This saves you typing in all the command line switches listed in the quote below.
    After booting from floppy, copy the three files (AWFL833D.exe, flash.bat and W7030NMS.155) to a hardisk or the ramdrive that was just created by the bootdisk. I strongly advise against flashing directly from floppy!
    (Notice that you will need a FAT partition on your harddisk to be able to access it from "DOS".)
    Now follow syar2003's flash guide:

    Remember :
    Enter bios and load optimized default + save/exit , before flashing .
    Do the flashing to 1.55 with AWFL833D W7030NMS.155 /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/f/r
    Enter bios and load optimized default , and save .Important .
    Boot once again after this without any changes/editing in bios to floppy prompt and let the dmi pool build and update itself.
    Then boot/edit bios set your individual bios preferences .
    Hope this will help you!
    Btw. When I flashed to 1.55 my NIC went dead in windows and I had no internet access. Make sure you have a official BIOS release at hand (on the same or other disk?) so that you can flash back to a version you trust...

  • KT6V 7021 - OnBoard NIC "dead" after BIOS 2.00 update ... any thoughts?

    Hi!
    Just flashed KT6V BIOS 2.00 and now my onboard nic suddenly stopped working.
    The network adapter gets recognized by Windows as usual, but although I do get a dhcp lease from my server I'm unable to connect to any share on it. It's also impossible to surf the web or to simply ping any local/remote host. If I try to connect to the system from any other workstation on the lan it doesn't work either.
    The network status only shows a great amount of sent packages - caused by AVAST! as it tries to look for an update on boot - but only "0" received.
    I flashed the BIOS from the emergency diskette and did a CMOS clear (Jumper) afterwards. And yes, I did disconnect my PSU from the wall socket.
    Since I need network access to the system I tried stepping back to BIOS 1.90 but with no avail - the onboard nic doesn't receive a single paket after it has got it's dhcp lease.
    Any clue what might be wrong and how I'm able to get my nic back to work?
    Thank you in advance for any useful help.

    Hi Fredrik.

    So if you were to downgrade BIOS problems would go away, right?
    I have already downgraded to BIOS 1.90 and the problem stayed the same - the onboard nic is still dead beef.

    When clearing CMOS there can be no el. left in your system, so unplug power cable etc.
    As mentioned in my first post I _have_ unplugged the power cord from the wall socket.

    If the new BIOS would affect NIC card... Hm, it is hard to see quite how.
    I can't think of any reason either, however, the nic went dead after updating to BIOS v2.00. I assume that there must be some kind of "network code" inside the bios which has to do with the onboard nic - otherwise I'm unable to explain why the MAC address suddenly changed to "11:22:33:44:55:66". If I would only have a clue on how to access and/or flash the nic ... ???
    Quote
    Is there any error marks for the nic in say Device Manager, if you get that far?
    Nope, there is no question or exclamation mark on the network card in the device manager. Windows thinks the card is working, but in reality it isn't. As already stated: No traffic from/to the network.

  • New bios for T420 Updated the CPU microcode

    Hi,
    Bios 1.46
    (New) Updated the CPU microcode.
    (Fix) Corrected the help message for enabling the microphone in the BIOS Setup.
    The CPU microcode update: It will support Ivy Bridge?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ivy and Sandy are compatible? I don't think so...
    Maybe they just increased or blocked the amount of allowed CPU models.
    I guess Mark has to step in and explain 

  • What typically is in a bios and drivers update?

    So I know computers need to update the bios and drivers, but no one has ever explained why. What is in bios or drivers that would need to be updated?

    Hi,
    All computer programs are not perfect therefore from time to time vendors have to release fixes. In many cases, a new fix may introduce new bug(s). Machine readable programs are BIOS, drivers, micro-codes are the same therefore from time to time vendors have to release new fix(es) to imrpove thrie products. Same as application programs and the Operating systems (Windows, Mac OS, DOS ...).
    Regards.

  • Cannot update Bios through Live Update (Z77A-GD65)

    I've been trying to update the Bios from A.00 to A.B0.  I've tried it a few times but when I scan for updates it will always say that my current Bios is A.00 and the online version is A.B0.  I'm trying to get this update in the hope that it will fix my problem installing my new Graphic Card.

    Don't use LiveUpdate! If it tries updating your bios you have a high chance of bricking the board. Download bios versions from here or the product site and manually flash (and never in Windows).
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    Download the compressed archive to your desktop but do not decompress.
    Select option 1 of the forum flash tool and point the tool an the compressed archive then follow the direction. After booting from the prepared USB stick afterwards it will flash your bios and ME extension.
    Once complete you will need to download and re-install the latest version of the Intel Management Engine Drivers.

  • IdeaCentre K330 BIOS and Driver Updates Windows 8 (8.1 64 Bit)

    I have a IdeaCentre K330 (i7) which I bought 3 Years ago. I have now Windows 8 64 Bit (8.1). And my BIOS Version is DKKT23AUS (BIOS Date 06/10/2011). Is there a newer BIOS version available ? There is on Lenovo site BIOS version 15 (Version DKJY15AUS), but I don't know if that is newer than mine. Can someone help ?
    I have checked the Lenovo page to search for newer Driver Version. And I realized that the United States Lenovo site is different from the Chineese Lenovo Site. In the Chinese Lenovo Site there are new Drivers listed for the Windows 8 64 Bit operating system and newer versions od Drivers, but in the United States site there is nothing. Is it because the Chineese Site is more frequently updated ? Can I download the Drivers from the Chineese Lenovo Site (for example Realtek Audio Driver)? Will there be problems ?
    Click HERE for the the Lenovo K330 Chineese Site. (Use Google Translate)
    Click HERE for the Lenovo K330 United States Site.
    This is the Image of the Chineese Lenovo Webiste:

    So no one knows if there is a newer BIOS version for Lenovo K330 ? If not here where can I ask to get answers ?

  • MSI Z87-G45 Bios won't update

    Hi,
    I am fairly new with DIY PC's and I tried updating my bios to the latest version today. Currently, it is in version 1.5, but the latest is 1.7. I downloaded Live Update 5, considering that it might be the safest way for a newbie to update his motherboard. So I downloaded the update from Live Update 5. I reach into the application and it says to close every program... Ok, done that. Now, when I click next it says in an error message: "Can't load drivers".
    I am very confused at what "driver" I could be missing. When I installed windows and everything, I updated my gpu, ethernet and audio drivers. With Live Update 5, prior to updating my bios, I updated my audio and ethernet drivers again (newer versions). I don't really want to use a usb stick to update my bios because if it doesn't work under windows, the result could be even worse if done directly in the BIOS, I guess.
    In summary, what could cause this error message "Can't load drivers" to pop up?
    Thank you!

    Get rid of Live Update from your pc. Use the forum's archive and flash method;

    Install all drivers downloaded from an MSI Website and install them manually.

  • BIOS won't update (Error 1275) on G530 (MT 4446)

    G530 (MT 4446) with BIOS v. 1.09 and a fresh installation of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. I want to update my BIOS to v. 1.10 in accordance with: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/lenovo-g530/downloads/DS003832 I download the executable file and I ran it as an Administrator. The whole resulting folder has no kind of blockings or reduced rights. I ran the BIOS update utility as an Administrator, wtih no other applications running and I have been keeping getting a Cannot load driver PHLASHNT.SYS Error code: 1275. I have also repeated the process in Safe Mode, and the exact same issue is reproduced. I am aware of https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-B-and-G-Series-Notebooks/G550-BIOS-update-won-t-apply-phlashnt-sys-driver-can-t-be-loaded/ta-p/288278 but it obviously doesn't apply in this case. As always, your help and advice on aforementioned issue will be vastly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    FYI to all the helpful folks here (and any looking to shut their jet engine off as well): Flashing the BIOS did the trick.
    First I had to find a website with DOS OS files and put those on the USB instead of Vista.  Oldie but a goodie, but at least it booted! No other versions would.
    I had been intending to use the WinPhlash utility that Lenovo supplied with the BIOS update but since I was booting from DOS that was useless. However, I found a DOS version of it and used that instead. Boom baby!  Flashed and rebooted. 
    It did take two boots to get it back to normal (first one gave very alarming messages about no operating system being found but I think it was just a remnant of the reboot that was triggered from the DOS session).  A second boot returned life to normal and blissful silence from the server.  And I was finally able to get the model and serial number back in there to get rid of the bootup message it throws for that too.
    Ahhhhhhh. 
    Thanks to all for the hints - I believe I had gotten the idea of flashing the BIOS to solve this from some other thread I found here.  This is a very nice forum to have bookmarked.
