BIOS and sensors problems on MSI MS-7031 (RS350M)

Hi,
I got problem with BIOS, I cant set CPU Warning temperature because buzzer is making a lost of noise.
I`m setting warning temp to 70C my CPU in BIOS is at 45C (I check temperature with digital multimeter too and it`s about 40-45C)
Fan1 are running 3000rpm, fan2 1200rpm (big fan 160mm)
Smart Fun Control is working correct! I set target temp to 45C and fans are slowing wen CPU is idle and speed up wen I use whole CPU.
I put my sensors from digital multimeter between heat-sink and CPU, and real temp of CPU is 40C idle to 55C stress. Smart Fun is starting to speed up at 45-46C and slowing down at 44-45C.
I cant use Live Update because I don`t have Windows, I cant find standalone update for my board. (ISO image or just a image)
I can connect optical driver and run BIOS update or I cant use BIOS upgrade linux utils.
Pls, help where I cant find BIOS upgrade ?
Second problem:
I got problem reading board temperature with lm_sensors, lm_sensors detect only w83627THF, but this is not used to monitor temperature on this board.
I tried to receive something from smbus (i2c_piix) at only detected adres 0x2f but I see nothing:

Unlock BIOS and change Keyboard layout MSI laptop GS70 2OD-002US

Confirmation: 2CS96102H81542105
My model is GS70 2OD-002US with Dual SSD RAID 0. I also have Ubuntu 14.04 installed in the RAID array besides Windows 8.1 (updated from Win 8 that came with the Laptop.
Could you please fully unlock my BIOS and add all the extra stuff you have? I also need to reconfigure my keyboard. I have attached an image of the layout I need, and the following are the changes explained.
1. Swap Left CTRL and Left ALT
2. Swap Fn and Windows Key
3. Convert the "extra \ key" next to the spacebar into a HOME key
4. Convert Right ALT GR key into an END key
5. Convert Right CTRL into Right Click (pop-up menu key)
6. Swap the Caps Lock Key and LEFT SHIFT key
I installed the lastest BIOS from the MSI Site using the DOS method (70E) update. BIOS info is in the screenshot. After unlocking will I be able to set fan speeds from BIOS? If I want fan speed tweak should I give you the fan percentage that should be mapped to the temparature in C?
Thank you so much for your effort. Hope you will PM me with further instructions.

Nope, the BIOS can't control the FAN
Quote

I've emailed you details about it
Oki will work on those and send back to you when its done.
But i don't know what time will need for it, say up to 24 hours should be enough.
If i figure that i need something else will PM/email you for details

New vBIOS, BIOS and EC problem on GX740 (screen goes black)

Hello,
I have a problem with my GX740 after flashing. I used forum flasher to update my BIOS, vBIOS and EC. Current versions: BIOS .10F, EC: .406, vBIOS: .031.
I use Windows 7 64 bit with SP1. The problem is that after flashing, whenever the laptop gets a little "heated" due to extensive work, the screen turns black or grey for about 10 seconds and then i got an error that display driver stopped working, but it's now ok. I tried uninstalling graphics driver and installing the one from msi page. Nothing worked. Any ideas guys?

Quote
Alrighty, done everything properly, but the problem persists. Tried playing Tomb Raider and everything looked fine until about 3 minutes, when the black screen showed again. I have noticed that about to 65 degrees on GPU it's ok, higher than that the screen goes off.
does it worked fine before?
Quote
Ah, during the VGA driver installation at the end there was a message saying that there were some problems during installation,
what problem?

Also, Driver Fusion premium query isn't so important, right?
yes its not important, but it need to be run at Safe Mode.

Display and Boot Problem with MSI K9NGM2

I recently purchased a system:
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 Core Duo
- MSI K9NGM2
- 1 GB Kingston RAM
- 320 GB Sata seagate
- Sony DVD RW
- 450 Watts Power Supply
The very first day I started having problems with my system. Sometimes it never showed a display and if it does it was not able to recognise my hard disk. I have to reboot it several times before it does. I think its the computer who decides when to boot and when not to. I got it checked and the vendor says that everything is fine , although he is also not able to respond to my problem. The Sata cabling and the Ram has also been replaced twice but still the problem persists.
Does anyone have any answer to this problem.

the problem is the way the board shut down when I put 4 stick, it's like the board is overload
Quote
do you mean I have to enable XMS ?
Actually, it's not likely a mainboard overload at all, it's probably the CPU IMC having the problem. Enable of X.M.P. is the last thing you want to do. If the RAM has to be set in this manner, it is not programmed to properly default at the platform's designed specifications. BIOS revisions dealing with compatibility are being worked on to make up for this RAM manipulation.
My apology to the OP in advance for the next comments. Some here at the forum have been advised before, that having to set X.M.P. to get the RAM to work properly (having to OC it) is a wrong way to go about it. The platform must first be able to run at stock/auto/default with no issues 'first', then venturing off to more exotic settings later if desired. This 'forcing' of non spec 'rated' RAM & programming is purely product marketing tactics. As mentioned, with four sticks of RAM, the CPU IMC may require an increase of DRAM V. Here is the official specifications from the current Intel data. This data is not really open to debate. For those that have issue with it, take it up with Intel!

Bios and memory problem with a P67A-GD80‏

Hi, I'm experiencing 2 problems with this board and I have not yet install an OS in it
first problem : in the bios if I go in the section Green Power, the system froze, I have to press reset to reboot
second problem : if I install 2 stick of memory in the blue slot, it work fine
if I remove them and place them in the black slot, it work fine
if I place 4 sticks at the same time, the system crash and reboot and make a loop
here the stick I try : Patriot PVV34G1600LLR 4 of them
G Skill F3-12800cl9q-16GBRL 4 of them
I see that new version of BIOS is supose to fix some problem with compatibility of memory, the problem is the way the board shut down when I put 4 stick, it's like the board is overload the led don't act like when you press the resset, they kind dim before the board crash
thanks and sorry for my english , I must add that it's more than 25 years I build computer I build around 3 a week, I have never RMA one motheboard until now.

KT4 MS-6590 1.4 BIOS and creative soundblaster

I updated the BIOS of the MSI 6590 motherboard from 1.3 version to 1.4 version. This adds the "CPU Halt Command Detection" item in BIOS Setup. I activate it and the CPU temp goes down when it is idle. Perfect..
BUT now the creative soundblaster audigy 2 ex is making noises and crackles when using audio in ASIO mode. If I deactivate the CPU halt detection in the BIOS everything goes ok as before. with some more CPU degrees but sounds good. so it's a very easy and detected problem.
to MSI support team look if it's possible to fix this CPU halt detection... (or maybe new drivers from creative can fix it also... )

Thermalright SK6, SLK800, SLK900; Swiftech MCX*; Zalman CNPS6000-Cu; Alpha Pal8045T - and these are some of the best air cooling solution and most important *QUIET*
54*C idle was? Is a lot if you say is also noisy. I have a Speeze RaptorCool @2163RPM super quiet and a 12cm intank fan @ 1600RPM also quiet and I get no more than 52*C full load. And here is summer, with 30-35*C room ambient.
Those I've mentioned are rather expensive, 40-50$, you can find something cheaper (mine is 7.5$!!!). Water cooling is too expensive, more than 100$, a good one is 250-300$. So you should stick with air cooling.
*EDIT* I forgot, some of them don't come with a fan, that you can aquire separatly, Y-Tech are good, stay out of Delta 'cause are the loudest

MSI P67A GD65 Multiplier and software problems

Hi
i just bought i5 2500k and Msi mb, it came with 1.4 bios version and the maximum multiplier that i could log into Windows was 44 even though the vcore adjustment didnt work properly
maxing out at 1.224 (bios reading) no matter the voltage set manually, I updated to 1.7B4 and i was able to get into windows at 46x100 the downside of the new bios was the memory suddenly stopped working at 2133 10-11-11-30 1.65v even 12-12-12-30 would end up in oc failed message so i had to settle for 1866. Now i updated to 1.8B5 and i can run my memory at 10-11-11-30 again no problem but
maximum muliplier went down to 44... again - theres no way to make system work with 45 or higher multiplier so basically oc-wise 1.8B5 is like 1.4 with vcore adjustment working properly/pll fix - Plz p67 users need proper bios.
Second problem is that Overcloking center crashes with 0xc0000005 code right after launching exe - first happened on my old XP SP3 so i installed fresh Win7 unfortunatelly its the same story.

Ok now im mad i flashed back to 1.7B4 and guess what i cant choose any multiplier above 44! Whats weird is that although bios version says 1.7B4 its behaving exactly like 1.8B5
Every time i changed some voltage option in bios V1.4 or V.1.7B4 the pc would power down and then power up, since 1.8B5 it would just reset. That and inability to go above x44 when just yesterday
i could go x46 (i didnt check more as i want to run my SB below 1.35vcore) makes me think my cpu is artificially locked and ability to go above x44 in 1.7B4 was just an accident that was
corrected in 1.8B5 whch has some code inside that prevents (in case somebody wants to downgrade) to update data responsible for cpu oc. Another example supporting that is that my cpu can
boot up at 4.4 ghz@stock voltage (1.168 in bios) log into windows and run some tests , of course it would freeze and reset randomly after some seconds or minutes but still... On the other hand changing the mulitplier to 45 and vcore up to 1.4v doesnt even make HDD start spinning and load WIndows after the MSI logo screen vanishes, its just seems locked.

Z87-GD65 USB headset and BIOS 1.7 problems

OK...as i've stated on these forums before there is a problem with attaching USB headsets with this motherboard. There is already many posts about the problem so it "is a problem". F.R.E.Q 5 headphone will not work with the mobo, other people on these forums have also complained about razor headsets not working, as I agree with that it is a well known razor has compatibility issues I still think this is a mobo issue that MSI need to address. Logitech G35 work fines...but every other usb headset i've tried doesnt...this is on both 1.3 bios and 1.6. I've also tried other workarounds to no avail.
Any MSI guys readin this...these are the headphone i'm talking about
http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/freq5.htm
NOW..the BIOS issue...the new 1.7 that has been released...DONT FLASH IT....it just bricked my mate mobos...lucky the GD65 has dual bios. I tried it to see if it happened to get his freq 5 working...but the PC wouldn't post.
Any comments or development on this situations on this issue will be greatly appreciated.

Personally I don't think it's a problem with a BIOS.
Have you tried updating all the drivers? Especially Audio..
Like I said, i've tried every workaround from bios to drivers. Been on these forums, other forums, other sources and no solution seems to work. There is nothing wrong with the headphones as they work on every other PC i've tried and those have had different mobos. Those headphones even work on my Z87 MPower MAX no problem..it is just this Z87 GD65 board. Could be just a bad apple out of the bunch...but I doubt we'll get a RMA for it just cause one sort of headphones wont work on it. Now my mate got a pair of $170 headphones sitting there he cant use.
And as the to 1.7 bios...just by going off the few posts on here i'd be pulling it asap, obviously not alot of testing has been done on it. Just lucky the board has the dual bios option.

Reporting BIOS problem to MSI

If anyone could report this BIG BIG issue with the latest Z77A-GD65 BIOS file aka. 10.8B3 to MSI it will be fantastic !
When you have the latest BIOS 10.8B3 and want to enable Virtu Technology in the BIOS, your PC restarts 4 times in a row until the settings are applied.
Now i have installed a older bios 10.6, enabled Virtu Technology in BIOS, and the PC restarted as normal, 2 times.
Could myself send a support ticket to MSI and let them know this, or someone could do this ?

Hey people, MSI fixed this problem !!!
They gave me a new BIOS version, a fixed version for my problem. 10.9B1
Flashed the new bios, then cmos reset, then put all my overclock config (4.5ghz multiplier, XMP on memory, smart fan speed, disable some features that i don't want) and finally activated Virtu Technology, pressed save bios settings, and the PC restarted only ONE SINGLE time to apply the settings, not two or four times like before.
Really happy now !!
PS: But they said after i flash that new fixed bios, to disable Internal PLL Overvoltage. What that setting does, and if it's stable and safe to have it disabled on a multiplier oc. Because when i set the multiplier on a value internal pll puts itself on Enabled by by default.

Problems with MSI Web Live updater and Downloadable updater

First off im new and second im sorry if this is the wrong spot.
Ok i did a reinstall of windows Xp updated with Microsoft's updater all the way up to SP2. In the past i had no problems at all with the MSI Updater. Now i have problems :( Please read below.
Hi i would like to know if anyone else has this problem;
I try to use the Web Browser version of the MSI Updater,well while its trying to scan it will say "Error" "service not started" about 4 or 5 times.
When i use the Downloadable version of the MSI Updater it crashes when its scanning and my computer will reboot till i go into safe mode and uninstall it.
Im going to be getting this Motherboard soon http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130136 I'm not sure if i want to if the MSI updater will no longer work. I have always depended on the Updater for my drivers cause i'm not the most tech savvy person in the world plus its very convenient to have all the drivers in one spot.
if this updater continues to not work im not sure where i can get the drivers. I dont want to get the wrong drivers and by mistake kill my board cause i flashed my board with the wrong drivers. if its not fixed i may not get anymore MSI boards :(
So does MSI realize that they killed there updater? i mean it worked fine in the past but now its a piece of junk :(
Please help.
P.S. Im not trying to be mean or flame im just frusterated :(

1st we are talking about drivers here... not BIOS.
You shall not update your BIOS without very good reason, read here ==> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103441.0
"i have MS-6712 those BIOS updates don't work and even at the bottom of them it says "this bios can not be used with MS-6712"
Yes because there are several mainboard MS-6712.
"This BIOS cannot be used on KT4V (MS-6712) & KT3V (MS-6712)"
That's correct your mainboard is KT4AV {also MS-6712, but use different BIOS. That's why is that warning notice.}
"So now that we know those BIOS updates don't work are you still sure those are the right updates for my board? Please make 100% sure."
Yes they are correct if you really have KT4AV.
Leave BIOS alone.
If you want to update your BIOS and need help with BIOS update, read here 1st ===> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113146.0
and provide information about current BIOS version onboard. You may have an OEM mainboard.

Problem with MSI 865P Neo and G4 Winfast

Hi all,
I bought the mainboard MSI 865P Neo. Have put it into G4 Winfast A280 LE TDH my vivo. And the problem appeared.
When I doing whatever in Win (for example open explorer, mouse rightclick ...) the screen is simply runing over.
Seems like a video card doesn`t handle it or Screen (monitor) is poor but it`s not. The same problem appears also while Windows is installed.
Little note I want to add is my G4 has new Bios setup and on my second card Leadtek G2 MX everything`s ok. It seems for conflict between the mainboard and my v-card. Have you met similar problem ?
Would be grateful for an answer
Best regards

On my old mainboard - ABIT ST6R (with G4) everything was ok. I changed mainboard, RAM and P4 and problem has appeared.
MSI supports AGP 8x/4x at 0.8V (AGP 3.0) or 4x at 1.5V (3.3V not supported)
If G4 needs 3.3V (I can't find G4 how much needs) that problem is obvious. I must change mainboard.
Anyone knows how much G4 poverage needs?

MSI Z87 MPower Max - Bad board? Failed SATA and B2 problems????

So here's the thing, been having problems with my system, I have a SSD as the boot drive and a RAID 5 array using the intel controller as a Data drive. It started infrequently that occassionally the system would lock up with the HDD LED on solid, Then it became progressively more and more frequently while troubleshooting.
I started out thinking it was the RAID array since after it freezes it would reboot do a verification and find some errors, so I disabled the array and tried running the WD lifeguard on each drive, each one passed a full disk scan. I tried booting the system with 1 or the 3 drives unplugged, still froze so cycled through each drive, froze each time.
Started suspecting the SSD so I cloned the drive onto a mechanical hard drive, still froze.
Unplugged the entire array and just ran the HDD alone..... didn't freeze as frequently but would still freeze.
Swapped out the RAM with good ram... Still froze.
Swapped power supplies with a good supply... Still froze.
Removed all the components except the boot drive, the RAM and the CPU..... stopped freeze up completely, instead I would get microstutters where the system would freeze for .25 to .5 seconds then continue, could tell if you played a audio stream it would keep repeating (Even a buffered stream) did a latency test and interupts were flying like mad and taking a long time to process, with no specific driver or process assigned.
Plugged the RAID array back in and it was working with the microstuttering, while trying to backup data off the array it froze again.
Rebooted the system, bios would die at B2
unplugged the RAID drives, cleared the cmos the system would boot.
Plug back in the raid drives , clear the cmos and it dies at B2.
Took out a hardware RAID controller (LSI 9260) and connected the drives up to that, dies at B2
unplug the controller... Bios boots
Plug in the controller with no drives attached, dies at B2.
Take the controller out, bios boots.
Sometimes the system gets to A2 and the screen shows snowy static
What is also strange is this occurs on both bios's.... the primary bios which I have flashed to 1.5 and the backup bios which I had left at 1.1 as a fail safe and never flashed.
Thoughts?

Hi
Almost same story happened to me.
I have now 2 pieces of Z87 MPOWER boards and both have the same issues.
1. Board came with BIOS 1.5. I left BIOS B to 1.5 and flashed BIOS A to 1.7 with MFLASH method. I installed W8.1 on my onto my SAMSUNG SSD and the PC was working for 2 or 3 days.
Then I noticed strange behavior while booting. The SSD was not found sometimes. I hit F11 and the list was full of USB pen drive entries. Then I entered the BIOS and I have seen only two menu entries: Security and one more I don't remember. Inside of the menu items it was empty or some chinese letters. So I thought the Bios was currupted. Due to missing MFLASH menu I couldn't flash the bios via MFLASH, so I had to study the German MSI Forum. Then I prepared the USB pendrive with ABUDE method and I brought back BIOS A alive. Fine, I thought: It can happen but it shouldn't. But the boot problems came back....
2. The second board came and had BIOS 1.4 installed and I didn't touch board #1 anymore . So I flashed BIOS A again to 1.7 and you know already what's coming up. Totally the same story which I had with board #1.
I switched back to BIOS B and no problems at all with booting.
After a while I noticed some BSODs because of Killer EThernet driver (bwcW8x64.sys). I had so serious problems with that driver. The problem is: If the driver fails, you are even unable to go to the internet and look for a new driver, because your ethernet is dead. Very funny, but not for me. I got the drivers from antother PC and I tried to install them. During installation it was fine. The card was working, but I was forced to do a reboot. After the reboot, the ethernet card was disabled because windows coudn't load the driver. OK, that's a windows issue or a poor driver. I tried several times. No chance to get ethernet back alive. Finally I disabled the Killer Ethernetboad and plugged my former Intel Gigabit ET Dual Port Sever Adapter in. I thought, now I get rid of all the problems. Ha ha...
First was everything fine. Then the PC didn't want to boot anymore: BIOS message --> B2.
I hit del key: "Entering setup" message came up. Nothing more. Several times. Dead.
I plugged out the Intel ethernetboard. Bios came up. I put the ethernet board to another PCI slot. 2 days of working. later on, same story.
Then I switched back to BIOS B and no problems at all.
So what's up here with my 2 MPOWER boards, showing the same issues with BIOS 1.7? What I did wrong?
- MFLASH? May be. But I don't use it anymore. I use the MSIHQ USB Flashing Tool from this forum now which was also spread in the German forum.
- I never flashed BIOS beta versions, I always red articals how to flash and I think I did nothing wrong here.
- Overclocking? No. Unfortunatelly I bought an Intel i4770 CPU without K. Funny. So no overclock issues at all.
- Memory? I have fully equipped 32GB (G.Skill F3-2400C10Q-32GTX) and did the MEM86+ test successfully.
Day before yesterday I flashed BIOS 1.6 to BIOS A. All looks good until now. The intel ethernet board behaves well. No B2 messages.
I will further comment as soon there is anything new.
Do we have some issues with BIOS 1.7? I strongly belief....
I have seen BIOS V1.81 beta is out. But where is V1.8 official release? Anyway, I am tired of testing. If I do not have issues with 1.6 then I will use it.
Unfortunately the MSI Z87 MPOWER board is not yet widely spread. Otherwise we would have more user experiences.
Ok, any comments are highly appreciate it.
@ Corellon: Sometime I got A2 messages with black screen with BIOS V1.7
Which bios version had you installed when you experienced severe problems?
I guess V1.5 & V1.6 are save. 1.7 has got problems.

Reboot problem with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and 250 GB SATA HDD

I'm having a "reboot" problem with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. After turning my system on it will run without any problems, until I reboot. After a reboot it will always hang after the initial windows-bootscreen. The HDD-light will remain on. If, instead of going into Windows XP SP2, I try to enter the BIOS after a reboot (DEL) the system will also hang (blank screen with blinking cursor).
It started doing this after I installed the Maxtor 250 GB SATA disk. Before, I didn't have problems rebooting. If I disconnect the Maxtor drive I can reboot and enter BIOS and Windows each and every time. Reconnecting the Maxtor 250 GB SATA drive will return the reboot problem. I always have to use the power swith to get a working system again. It's not enough to do a hard reset (this has the same effect as rebooting).
Here are the details of my system:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS 1.B)
Athlon 64 3200+ (Winchester, 2 Ghz, 512 KB cache, stepping DH-D0)
2 x Kingston KVR400X64C25/512, 512 MB, DDR, PC3200 (2,5-3-3-8 T1)
Asus Radeon AX800 Pro (256 MB)
PSU Antec Sonata 380W
HDD Maxtor 80Gb ATA (6Y080P0, Pri Master)
HDD Seagate 250Gb SATA (ST3200822AS)
HDD Maxtor 250Gb SATA (6V250F0 - jumpered in SATA150 mode, the mobo wouldn't work with the drive in SATA300-mode)
Aopen COM5232/AAH Pro CD-Writer ATA (Sec Master)
BenQ DW1640 DVD-Writer ATA (Sec Slave)
P.S. The NVidia IDE-drivers are NOT installed. System is not overclocked.

Thank you for all the replies. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia IDE-drivers did not fix my problem. Moving to other SATA-ports did not help either. Upgrading the mobo's BIOS is not really an option (I'm using one version before the most recent and there isn't anything in the fixlist of the latest BIOS).
Now I've contacted Maxtor for (hopefully) a new firmware.

I did use the search function to find other people with similar problems. The reason I started a topic of my own was because of the text you get while joining:

Do not hijack another persons topic. If you have a similar problem, start your own thread anyway.
Maybe in retrospect I should first have tried the solutions in other topics.

MSI GS70 Temperature and battery problem?

Hello All,
I just bought my GS70 on 2/9/2014 and I have been noticing some serious fan noises from time to time. I eventually got curious and installed Core Temp. All cores average around 126F (54c). Are these numbers too high? Should I be concerned? What are my options?
I also discovered a problem with my battery yesterday. After shutting down yesterday, I disconnected the power from the computer. This morning I tried to turn the computer on but it was unresponsive. I attempted several times all with the same results. I then saw that my power was disconnected and plugged it back in and it turned on fine. However, Windows display that my battery is at 100 percent.
I grew suspicious that it was an isolated event. To test, I against shut down the computer first, then after it was shut down I disconnected the Power plug on the unit. After couple hours I again try to turn it on and was unable to. I then reconnected the power plug and was able to turn on. Against Windows had my battery at 100 percent. I was wondering if anyone else had this situation.
Any help or advices regrading my questions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hello,
About the CPU temp is normal
About battery can you boot on the battery immediately after you turn it off with ac charger disconnected?

then see how its goes.
Also tell your current BIOS and EC versions, look for them in BIOS Setup, system information.
