Bios recovery MSI GT683

hi to all,
today I flashed the new version of the bios for my laptop, but when I'm done it it powered off so now when I try to switch on it there is always black screen...so I read there is a method to recovery bios but I don't know how to do...can tou help me please? I'd like to do it with a bootable USB ... I read online that many people done it renaming the bios rom in amiboot rom but the extension of my bios is .30Z...can you please help me?

Hello francescoplaitano,
Try to rename the extension name of the BIOS *.30Z to *.ROM and move it to a USB drive and press CTRL+HOME repeatedly after the power on.

MSI G41TM-E43 version 1.0 BIOS Recovery help

My PC keeps going into BIOS recovery mode and won't do anything else. It wants to grab the BIOS file off a USB drive, so I tried to download the BIOS file from MSI, put it on the drive, and then rebooted. The PC finds the drive, but keeps saying it can't find the file. I'm not entirely sure I have the right file, because the picture of the motherboard on the MSI web site doesn't match my motherboard, and the manual shows a different layout as well, presumably for version 2.
I need to know which BIOS file to download and what to name it. I have tried leaving the name alone, and I have also tried naming it AMIBIOS.ROM and AMIBOOT.ROM, which was suggested by some sites.
Can anyone help me find the correct file or help me reset the BIOS somehow? It may be that the motherboard is just broken, but I would like to be sure.
Thanks,
Matt

Thanks for responding! It didn't occur to me to try that because all the trouble started when I removed the IDE DVD-ROM drive and installed a SATA DVD drive instead, so I figured it was related to something I had done. I'll try a new battery and see if it helps.
Thanks!

New MSI Motherboard G31TM-P21 bios recovery

So I just got a new motherboard delivered to me yesterday from Newegg and installed it right away. At first it was working fine I just had a few other problems going on, just put a newly bought Pentium Dual core inside it and was trying to increase the processor speed thru the bios bus clock. So what happened was my friend recommended me trying to get to 3.8 ghz (originally 3.00 ghz), when I was currently on 3.3 ghz or so from increasing the bus clock to 220 (default 200). That seemed to be working out fine so I decided I'd try to get to 3.8. The bus clock on that turned out to be 254, and at the time I didnt even think about lowering ratios or ram/gpu affections. I restarted after saving the settings and then my computer started to just stop loading all together. It was like it was trying to load everything normally but would stop at random points and stay on whatever screen was there last.
So now comes the problem, after a few reboots of freezing, I finally ended up just getting a Bios recovery requested screen before any type of other screen shows up. Its telling me to put in a usb with the bios file for the motherboard. I've had my friend helping me look up problems and we've tried soo many tests, all of them resulted in the same bios recovery screen.
-Using 1 stick of unnaffected RAM
-Clearing CMOS by taking out battery for at least 5 minutes
-CMOS Jumper clearing
I've also tried to create a bootable USB for bios flashing and put in the latest bios file and flash tool onto the USB. That results in a screen saying,
"Please copy latest BIOS file into USB flash drive to recover your BIOS
File not found"
then it loops that until I take out the USB or turn off the computer.
Also there is no FSB switch on my motherboard like there is supposed to be, there is an empty square with 6 solder holes on the board so I cant toggle the FSB back to default using those switches.
I was using this to make a usb bootable for bios flashing: http://www.biosflash.com/e/bios-boot-usb-stick.htm
and I was using these files from MSI to transfer on USB after making bootable USB: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/G31TM-P21.html#/?div=BIOS
So... if anyone can help me to make this work at all I would very much appreciate it. Once I get the bios working again (assuming I can) I'm keeping to default.

Well with the CMOS clearing I already did all of the above, except I left out the battery for 5 minutes, and ended up with the same result for bios recovery. I want to clarify that I cannot even get to the BIOS, as soon as I boot with that motherboard I get an instant black screen with text telling me to insert a USB flash drive with the latest BIOS file. There is no type of menu or anything of any kind.
The specifications of this build was:
MSI G31TM-P21, MS-7529 Version 1.6 (New motherboard)
Intel Pentium Dual Core E5700 3.00GHz (New Processor)
2 x1GB of DDR2 667 or 800 not sure (same ram on my old motherboard)
Nvidia 8600GT 256 MB DDR3 (same card on old motherboard)
300W Power supply (efficient enough to run old build)
Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit
Thats about all I can think to add right now that you would possibly need. I know the 2 x1GB of memory still works, as its in my old motherboard again and thats what I'm currently on. I dont have any other way of testing if the Processor was fried, but I'm pretty confident that it was capable of that overclocked speed since there were reviews saying so. If there's any other way I can help please let me know what u need, I would love to get this working.

MSI GT683 Problem Installing Graphic Drivers

Hi to all, I need help about my laptop MSI GT683...I have bought a graphic card because my is broken, that is Nvidia GTX560M but I have a problem: when I install Windows and I try to install the driver the screen became multicolor and I can't do anything else. I seen that when the site of the nvidia auto reconizes the graphic card the model showned is Nvidia GTX560 SE...Another problem is that in the bios the model of the notebook is GT680R and I don't know why...can you help me?

What means "multicolor"? Do you have any picture of this symptom you described?
The model name in the BIOS depends on the graphic card you installed. Some models re-use the same barebone of the older models and their difference is only the graphic card, so MSI may only provide one version of BIOS but will automatically detect the graphic card to change the model name in the BIOS.
I'm not sure what's the problem you are facing but you can ask for help and contact local authorized service points.

Regarding Upgrading MSI GT683 Laptop

Hi,
I purchased MSI GT683 in November 2011.
Now thinking to upgrade this laptop by adding a SSD to it and installing Windows 7 in it.
But now the problem is, i don't know whether it is possible to add SSD & install Win 7 in it because MSI didn't provide any OS DVD and only have recovery partition in my HDD. So, even if i can add a SSD it is not possible to install Windows 7 in it.
System Configuration:
Intel Core i7 2670QM processor 2.2GHz
GeForce GTX 560M 1.5GB GDDR5
15.6" FHD, Anti-Glare (1920*1080)
640 GB HDD
8GB of DDR3 RAM
Super Multi-DVD Drive
9-cell battery

MS-6702 (K8t neo) Flashed but now nothing, bios recovery doesn't work!!

I updated my bios to the latest one a few weeks back and have been having problems with setting my apeture size to 256 (Noticed a few other people have too here!)
So I reverted the bios back to the one before which I never had any problems with and now my board appears dead
I get no post screen and the optical drives all constantly seek for some strange reason, I've since unattached everything apart from my agp card, ram, processor and floppy drive in a bid to get bios recovery to work. Sadly it doesn't even try to read the floppy and just sits there feeling sorry for itself.
The LED bracket stays at 4 red lights but nothing else happens. I've had this rig for over 5 months so I know it's not the components before anyone suggests it.
This is doing my head in, thanks MSI firstly for releasing a buggy bios and secondly for killing my board
PLEASE HELP

Have you tried clearing CMOS?
If that doesn't work your board is probably beyond recall. You have two choices:
1. Try to RMA it to MSI or your vendor.
2. Replace the BIOS chip
I have used (2) on several occasions with other vendor's systems. This works if the chip is socketed. I use BIOSFLASH.COM (http://biosflash.com/) - you have to ID your chip, tell them what you have, pay some money and e-mail them a copy of the binary you want programmed. They have a well-documented procedure on their website.
I would recommend getting at least two chips - one known good and one with the latest BIOS. That way you can recover from another problem like this one.
Looking at the example K8T Neo2 ATX board on MSI's site the BIOS is socketed but that may not be true of yours. I have a K8MM-ILSR with a soldered BIOS here, so not all their BIOS chips are socketed.
BTW, which method of flashing did you use? From DOS, I hope...running a BIOS flash from Windows is a recipe for disaster (that's why I know about BIOSFLASH.COM)

870A-G54 - Bios recovery requested

Hello, I have bought the mainboard 870A-G54 "second hand" from msi-shop.de and wanted to use it with a AMD Athlon II X4 640 CPU.
On first start up of the new system it told me: "Bios recovery requested. Starting bios recovery" I downloaded 7599vh4.zip from the msi website as I thought it was the correct archive according to the cpu-list to a usb-stick, however the system was asking then explicitely for the file a7599ams.hg0. I downloaded that archive onto the usb stick.
When starting the pc and doing the bios recovery the system is finding the file it wants but directly after then restarting with no effect or it turns me to a blank black screen.
What shall I do now?

How do u creat BIOS recovery disk + nvidia firewall question.

WooooHOoOOO....
after re-formating a dozen times, busted SCSI config, messed up driver install, I FINALLY GOT this board working at 100%!!!
This mobo powered through my entire DOOM 3 Odyssey to Hell NON-STOP without a SINGLE CRASH!! Definitely a good testament to this board's quality.
Now for the final few noob question, how do I create a bios recovery disk just in case things happened.
lastly... how do you properly setup the NV Firewall? After enabling it, none of the other computers in my network can see this computer with the MSI Board, so file and printer sharing all stops when the firewall is enabled.
Anyone here has a walkthrough on the firewall?
ONCE AGAIN...thanks to all who helped me!!!

i havent got my nvidia firewall to work imma wait until they release better drivers for it but for creating the bios recovery disk i think if u use msi's live update it will ask u if u want to create one or not.

890FXA-GD70 BIOS Recovery Requested.

Hello Forum
I just put together a brand new system using the 890FXA-GD70 Motherboard and I have serious problems.
Occasionally the system will freeze and crash.
I will tell my story in order of how this began and all steps I have performed
While in the bios I attempted to change my boot order. As soon as I changed the device the bios froze. I started the computer back up
No screen input.
Reset button does nothing. System does nothing.
After about 10 reboots with bios resetting and such I eventually got a message
“BIOS Recovery Requested” insert USB…
I tried to reboot a few times
Sometimes I would get the bios recovery requested message
Most times I would get nothing
Eventually I inserted a CF card with a bios image on it
Exact bios image on the MSI site without changing the file name
The system would scroll the BIOS recovery message over and over until it rebooted
Said it disabled recovery just before it shut down
The machine now boots fine up till I need to start windows and it does not
So I restart and go through the whole problem over again and this time I restore the bios using the built in flash utility in the BIOS I believe its MFLASH
After the flash and a bios settings reset, windows boots but the whole problem starts over again after trying to do something intensive.
So I re do everything as this is becoming normal procedure dealing with the system freezing in windows or in the bios (randomly in the bios nothing specifically triggers it)
(everything as in reboot the system till I get the recovery message put the flash card in and wait till it disables recovery go into bios and re-flash it)
My last step was I flashed a fresh bios with MFLASH
and then did a memory test with microsofts ram test software outside of windows. That froze about 7% in and caused the system to beep non stop.
And I’m back to start. System does not boot, get the bios recovery message if I’m lucky.
No over-clocking is setup and I use optimal (Auto) settings.
All problems occurs with either ram stick either paired or alone
Here is my equipment
Motherboard : MSI 890FXA-GD70
CPU : AMD|PH II X6 1100T 3.3G AM3 With OEM Heatsink and fan
PSU : CORSAIR|CMPSU-650TX 650W
RAM : 2Gx2|GSKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GB
HD : WD Black SATA 2 1TB 7200RPM 32MB cache
Video Card : GeForce 7950 512 mb with PCI-E power conencted
OS : Windows 7 Pro 64 (legit fresh install)
Other Details
USB keyboard Merc Stealth , Microsoft USB Intili Mouse , Internal 5 Port USB cardreader,
Liteon USB cdrom drive
Monitor is a 52 inch LCD TV using DVI input on a 25 foot cord on max video card resolution when permited 1080
Im guessing this is not a ram or cpu problem but the bios chip may be defective and when the system loses the bios it freezes
otherwise why would i get bios checksum errors and recovery prompts after each freeze.
Please advise this is brand new and i should not have something defective this soon.

After spending 12-14 hours on the problem i can now safely give a detailed report of the problem
Disregard what i said before as they were just symptoms of another problem
It boots 100% stable if DIMM slots 1 2 and 3 are empty
it does not matter the make or model of the ram in slot 4 but the system boots and works flawlessly.
I ran extensive tests with prime 95 and memory tests. It works flawlessly in this configuration.
As soon as a stick of ram goes into any other slot either singular or dual channel the board does a rapid boot cycle
this constant power on and off if left too long corrupts the bios settings
bios setting problem is rectified by putting one stick of ram into dimm 4 and letting it reset itself in a stable enviorment
also while the system is stable i used the MSI software to check all the voltages and everything appeared normal
However
if i make the system boot with standard memory configuration such as one in DIMM 1 or 1+2 i get odd voltage readings
(extremely unstable if im lucky enough to get it to boot)
the NB voltage quickly fluctuates between 1.15 and 1.7+ every min or so like if there are micro spikes in voltage
While this happens the 2 lights next to the slots indicating i believe the dram power phase blink
But
When i only put a ram stick into DIMM 4 only one light for the powerphase is lit and it is stable
So this so far is not a corrupt BIOS chip to me but rather a symptom of another problem
I have another CPU coming in the mail tommorow I will test it out along with a few other boards
a 1090T
2 890fxa-gd70's and some others
If i have a hardware problem it will surely be singled out
I will find out what the problem is with this board and post my result.
If anyone has any suggestions to make this board work please comment

Toshiba A105 BIOS Recovery Process Questions

Hi!
Ive got a Toshiba Laptop A105-S4284, Model #: PSAA8U-0FH02K that froze while trying to flash the BIOS. Now, when I try to boot it up, it gets stuck in the same place it did during the flashing; on the Toshiba splash screen with the status bar at the bottom showing about 20% complete. Options available on this screen are: Press F2 for System Settings and F12 for Boot Menu. Pressing F2 results in a beep and the status bar is replaced with the text "Please Wait..." but nothing else happens no matter how long I wait. Pressing F12 doesnt do anything. Pressing ESC takes me to a screen that shows the typical system info -- Phoenix Technologies Version 6.00; Intel Calistoga CRB.T3A Reference BIOS; VERSION.MAK 1.53. It looks like its at least partially POSTing since it shows CPU, Cores, No TPM or TPM has a problem, and system RAM and stops there. I cant get into the BIOS and cant boot into Windows.
Ive read the posts on here regarding the BIOS Recovery Process and was hoping someone could provide some clarification for me, especially since Ive already waited a week with no reply on another tech support site forum. :-(
Anyways... Ive downloaded the Crisis Recovery.zip files to create a Recovery Disk and am trying to follow the instructions.
There are a bunch of files in the .zip and Im not sure exactly which files I need to have on the boot disk Im creating.
The files in the .zip are:
- crisboot.bin
- CRISDISK.BAT
- makeboot.exe
- minidos.sys
- phlash16.exe (actually PHLASH16 version 1.6.5.4)
- wincris.exe
- wincris.hlp
Ive downloaded the BIOS Update from Toshibas website for the A105-S4284. Which file do I need to rename to BIOS.WPH and add to my Recovery Disk directory? Do I want "s10gm600.rom" or "1988d600.ima"? I extracted the file from the bootable BIOS installation diskette (1988d600.exe) to get the 1988d600.ima file.
I ran wincris.exe and only the following files end up in the directory Ive designated for my Recovery Disk:
- BIOS.WPH
- MINIDOS.SYS
- PHLASH16.EXE
Do I need any of the other files from the original .zip?:
- crisboot.bin
- CRISDISK.BAT
- makeboot.exe
- wincris.exe
- wincris.hlp
If someone could provide some clarification on which files to use and most importantly, if those are the correct files for the laptop Im trying to fix. I think all the posts Ive read are for laptops newer than this one and it seems the secret to succeeding at recovering a BIOS is using the CORRECT files. Ive searched all over and cant find any posts from someone with an A100/A105 who has been able to do a BIOS Recovery from a CD, USB floppy or USB flash drive.
Is there ANY hope?
Thanks in advance for your time and assistance with this; its GREATLY appreciated.
Sarah ;-)

Hi Sarah,
I had the same thing happen to my A105 4094. I've looked at some of the other blogs, but I'm not sure if I should try the corrective action they suggest. Not sure how common the different models are.
I'm going to keep trying to resolve this. If I find something that works, I'll write again and let you know. Please do the same for me and other A105 owners.
Thanks,
Jamie

DV6-6000 LF372AV - Fails BIOS recovery

I have a DV6-6000 Prod #LF372AV where the BIOS became corrupted. Didn't attempt update, just failed out of the blue.
First symptom is turn on PC, hear fan come on then immediately reboots. Stuck in this cycle of rebooting forever. With no error codes (such as not even Caps Lock LED blink) I guessed corrupted BIOS.
I tried the Windows+B, but I've wiped this harddrive previously and the BIOS recovery partion was gone.
So, I downloaded and ran the HP UEFI Support Environment Softpaq as directed here:
     http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c02693833.
This partially worked. With a Recovery BIOS loaded on the the USB flash drive, I can hold Windows+B at power up and BIOS loads off the USB key. However, it is NOT replacing the corrupted BIOS on the laptop.
According to the instructions, once the temporary BIOS is installed, a reboot should automatically occur. Instead, NOW it stays on (no more spontaneous reboot cycle) and I get a 2 blink error code out of the Caps Lock LED. It seems that the temporary BIOS loads into BIOS memory, but the stored BIOS itself cannot be overwritten. As I stated earlier, if I reboot, I'm back to the original condition.
So, it appears that the BIOS storage is bad. ???
Even if that is the case, I don't understand why boot into BIOS stops at the error indicating BIOS is corrupted. Obviously the mem copy of BIOS run off the USB flash drive is "more functioning" than the stored BIOS, but I still can't get far enough to get to the BIOS editor or any BIOS update utility.
I tried a second method. I downloaded the latest BIOS for this model laptop from HP support. Then I extracted it and ran the updater. It extracted an even newer version of the BIOS recovery tool onto my flash drive. This had the exact same results as the UEFI Support Environment version of BIOS. Therefore, two different versions of BIOS have failed to repair the corrupted BIOS and have failed to get me past the caps lock LED blinking twice.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Hi
Workaround:
There are few steps that has worked for few but not always..
Restart and tap F2. F2 will show an option “BIOS Management” . Select BIOS Management and then select “Roll Over to the previous BIOS”
BIOS Management option will not be available if the system do not have HP_Tools partition installed or if it is deleted.
Fix if BIOS Management is not available
i)                    Press and Hold the Windows Key and B key at the same time when the system is turned off or follow the steps from this link: Recovering the BIOS using key press combination
ii)                 Shutdown the Notebook. Remove the Hard Drive and then turn the computer ON and tap F10 to load BIOS. If it loads BIOS then it should rollback to previous BIOS or it might show a black screen. Just leave the system ON for about 2-3 mins and turn it on with the hard drive and check.
Let us know how it goes!
"I work for HP."

[MSI-GT683 R] Won't Work Properly

I have this problem in my Laptop MSI GT683 R It won't turn on beyond the Initial Start up and automatically restarts after a while(Doesn't read the windows screen) anyone knows how to fix this? I can't even use Del or F3 or Alt F10 :/, If someone does please help

You meant the laptop cannot boot up properly and will reboot again but cannot go beyond the windows welcome screen?
If there is new device attached to your laptop, Maybe a new SSD or memoory, remove it.
If there are new update or drivers installed recently, remove it and roll back to the original version when you can log on windows. Or go to save mode to delete them.
