BIOS needed for a K8D Master-3 FS(M)

I just got a K8D Master-3 FS(M) MB and while trying to solve a problem I have done something rather stupid!
I have replaced the BIOS with one meant for the K8D Master-F by mistake. Interestingly enough the computer still works although things could obviously be better! It only sees the RAM attached to CPU0 and it has a couple of minor errors, but other than that I can run Debian Linux fine. Also the problem with the LSI Logic 21320-R card with SCSI disks attached hanging during POST is actually solved with the wrong BIOS!
I need to get a copy of the original BIOS (1.0a) to reflash with, and then I should be back to where I started!
If someone is able to help me get a copy of the original Master-3 BIOS, I would really appreciate it. Basically the Master-F BIOS update program allows you to save a copy of the original Master-3 BIOS, which I should have done if I was thinking. Here is what you need to do:
1. Go to this page http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=441&kind=3 and download the 9131v1.2.exe BIOS update program.
2. Put the files on a bootable DOS floppy, except for the BIOS update file itself (A9131KMS.120). This will ensure that there is room (4Mb, i.e. 512KB) to save your existing BIOS onto the floppy.
3. Boot the DOS disk and run amiflash.exe
4a. Press Alt-F to bring up the "File" options
4b. Press the Down Arrow to go to the "BIOS Filename for saving..."
4c. Enter "A:\origbios.rom" The program will save the original BIOS to your floppy. Please send a copy of this to me!!! I am really stuck at the moment, because MSI does not publish the original on their website.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Just send an email to [email protected] for the BIOS, normally they are very willing to send you that version.

[EDIT] I forgot to mention that when i boot with the FX 5600 the monitor doesnt retrieve a signal and it goes into power save mode. Is this good or bad? Will i still be able to flash it?
A bad thing. But the card is still flashable no matter what the condition of the BIOS within. For example, have a looksy here

Venice Core is Available at newegg...New Bios Needed For It?

Most of you prolly saw this already, but the if not the venice core is out on newegg for 275.00. Anyone know if these work in the Nforce 4 or do you need a bios update? Any updates on this would be great....thanks!

I have the venice 3800+ and corsair twinx pc4400(tccd) which runs at stock frequency of 275. currently it is sitting @250, if i even attempt to bump it up one notch it fails to boot!
your not going to tell me that between stability at 2.75ghz and 2.76ghz its hitting a wall and totally unstable?
Yes actually, I am. My 3200+ does the exact same thing whenever I try to get it to run at or above 2500 MHz...no amount of tweaking or extra voltage will keep it stable. Despite this fact, it is rock solid at my standard overclock of 2464 MHz, which is *very* close to its unstable point of 2500 MHz. It's not the board that prevents me from getting past 2.5 GHz, it's the chip itself...it just doesn't want to go that fast.

Sorry this is MSI bios issue, and remember no two chips are the same yet there are several folk on other websites that are in the same boat
as me falling down exactly at the same settings!
Yes, no two chips are exactly the same, but families of chips do tend to exhibit similar behavior, which is why most of the 90 nm Winchester chips overclock to about 2.5 GHz or so but almost never get higher than that. If you can cite instances where these chips that fail to run faster than 2.75 GHz are able to reliably exceed 2.75 GHz (and be stable) in other motherboards, then it would lend credibility to the idea that this is a MB/BIOS issue. Until then it is far more likely that the ceiling on the new chips is just right around 2.75 GHz.

Problem is not about max speed. Its about maks FSB. Even 4*275 it wont boots, like CBBID coded ones. But all other Mobos run quite stable 450*4 vith these CPU's.
All other mobos? Sorry, but the only MB's that support such a ludicrous FSB setting (i.e > 400 MHz) are all made by DFI...that hardly counts as all other MB's and makes the veracity of your statement quite questionable.
EDIT: and the more I read on other forums and review sites, the more evidence that I find for the theory that the chip family just hits a wall at abour 2.8 GHz and less support I see for the "BIOS is broken" theory. Many users report being able to get to about 2.7 to 2.75 GHz on stock voltage, and then report being stable at 2.8 or 2.85 GHz, but only at a *much* increased voltage (like 1.6V when the default is 1.4V). This implies that an internal hardware limitation in the chip itself is preventing it from scaling beyond about 2.75 GHz. Furthermore, there are user reports of attaining 2.8 GHz on a MSI Neo4, and 2.85 GHz on a MSI Neo2.

Install Windows 7 .. what setting in BIOS needed for it to read my flash drive first?

I just got the Erazer 315. It comes with 8.1 but I want to install 7 Pro into it. Anyone know what steps I need to take?how do I install it? What settings in the BIOS should I change to make it read my usb flashdrive first? Thanks

hi luism60613,
You have two options in installing Windows 7
Option 1: Install Windows 7 in UEFI / GPT
1. Follow this guide on how to create a bootable Windows 7 UEFI installer.
2. Boot into the BIOS and set the following (if applicable)
Security Tab:
Secure Boot = Disabled
Exit Tab:
OS Optimized Defaults = Disabled
3. Boot from the bootable Windows 7 UEFI installer that you created in Step 1 (by pressing F12 on startup and selecting the flashdrive) and install it on the Windows 8.1 partition (you can format this partition if you like) and you should be able to run Windows 7 in UEFI (this also preservers the OneKey Recovery which you can use to re-install Windows 8.1).
Option 2: Install Windows in MBR (Legacy)
1. Follow this guide on how to create a Windows 7 legacy installer.
2. Boot into the BIOS and set the following settings:
Security Tab:
Secure Boot = Disabled
Boot Tab:
CSM = Enabled
Boot Priority = Legacy First
Exit Tab:
OS Optimized Defaults = Disabled
3. Boot from the Windows 7 installer that you created in Step 1 and on the Windows 7 installation screen, you will need to wipe all partitions or press Shift+F10 to open diskpart and issue the clean and convert mbr command to install Windows 7.
Note that this step will wipe everything so ensure you create a recovery drive (see this guide) just in case you want to restore Windows 8.1.

K8D Master 3 v1 and DC Opteron

Hi.
I found in QVL that this mobo support i.e. opteron 270 .
But I've some doubt.
For newer K8D Master 3 v2 is available bios update to support DC opteron.
For older K8D Master 3 v1 (this one I have) isn't available any bios update.
Anyone know why ?
Anyone has K8D Master 3 v1 with DC opteron ?
Regards.
Pashen.

K8D Master-F 9131 problem with BIOS 1.2 and Raidcore BC4852

The board does not start the Raidcore BIOS with motherboard 9131 BIOS 1.2 installed. It works OK wih BIOS 1.1.
Raidcore 4852 FW is V130. (tested V110 = same problem)
Bios found here:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=441&kind=3
Both 1.1 and 1.2 BIOS was unable to recognise my Opteron 242 CPU steppings which indicate they are both quite old. Maybe MSI could fix these problems and include the newer CPU steppings like the ones for 250 CPUs. Bios 1.2 is dated nov. 28th 03 which is a year old. BUHU.
I am building a LARGE storage server based on this motherboard. Several others to come (planning on using the MSI K8D Master 3 -133 9161), but if MSI does not upgrade the BIOS for their high end boards I will start looking for another supplier real fast.
Sincerely

I'll stick with the V1.10, but I'd fell better if MSI showed me they actively update their systems by releasing updated BIOS files from time to time.
I can't sell a 15000$ storage system that doesn't recognise the CPUs installed. The customer would laugh and tell me to come back with a supported system.
Isn't this a VERY valid reason for wanting updates? Even if it only is an updated CPU list?
The only reason I tried this MSI board is that it was the only one available with my retailer at the time I bought it with 3 PCI-X 100Mhz slots. Maybe I should go with a Tyan Thunder next time. Tyan at least show some activity.

You can check table BUT000 for BP general data.
For Org data check CRMD_ORGMAN and BUT100 for Roles.
I think these are sufficient for the fields mentioned from your side, if it doesn't suffice let me know.

Need Help! Bios file for Compaq SR2010NX

Hello all, I'm looking for the original bios file for the SR2010NX. HP doesn't have it on their website and my computer won't boot correctly with it. ahhhhhh. I appreciate any help!!!
Thanks John

According to what I found, that has this motherboard:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c00757470&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=2093&product=323...
Which is a A8M2N-LA Naos-GL6, is this that what you have? And what BIOS are you looking for, or should I say what did you try to put on it?
I happen to have the same motherboard on an old Compaq, so I could possibly exctact the BIOS file if it is the one you are looking for. It showes 3.00 I beleive but I will check if you need the info.

No one will give you that. You only can download to update the bios you will not get the source code and any bios you download and edit is use at your own risk. And since we have no P/N no one can direct you to the BIOS update your system needs. If HP support didn't give you this information why do you think the HP user are going to have access to that information.

Need help finding a BIOS flash tool and BIOS updates for HP Compaq nc8230 running Windows 7

I put together this laptop. It didnt come with a hardrive, and basically I installed everything from the ground up.
It is an HP Compaq nc8230, IDE Hard drive, Windows 7 32 bit. The BIOS on it is the original one. I've searched far and wide, but to no avail, it seems there's zero support for this model anymore.
Basically it was never intended to go beyond Vista, back in 2004 when this model was introduced.
The reason I am searching for some kind of BIOS update, whether it is BIOS or SMBios is to get the ACPI driver to recognize the primary laptop battery. This is crucial: it only sees both as the travel battery. Other than that, all else is fine.

Hi:
Here is the latest BIOS update for your notebook.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
You cannot use the windows based flash because you installed windows 7, so I provided the link to the DOS based flash.
You need to use a USB floppy drive for this update.
Oh, and the card reader won't work unless you install this updated driver which is not on your PC's support and driver page.
