Also try with the latest bios file on the stick you tried to flash: http://www.msi.com/support/mb/A88X-G45-GAMING.html#down-bios
Use vga connection for display as hdmi might not work well on early post level.
If still no luck you will have to rma the board.

Bios update failed on MSI TI4200-T8X64 graphics adapter

during the installation procedure of a new desktop we proceeded the update of live update 2 to live update 3 -
afterwards we checked the availability of a new vga bios and tried to install it to the MSI TI4200-T8X64 graphics adapter of the desktop -
the installation failed and after the reboot the graphics adapter did show any results anymore -
so we had to insert a second vga card (pci) and swith to primary pci vga usage in the desktops bios -
so we are able to start windows, but we are not able to get a functional bios via live update 2 or 3.
where do we get a functional bios version and the flash-tool for our graphics adapter????
thanks for your quick help!

I think there should be a jumper on that card, I have the 4200 VTD128 8x model and there is a jumper with a green shunt. Look in the Bulletin at the top of this VGA forum, there are instructions on how to recover from a bad BIOS flash(If the jumper is present)
If not, Please give the number on the BIOS sticker, it should say for example:n8894MS100 something like that.
What is the part number in white silkscreen lettering on the fan side say?

BIOS Update failed, no video output anymore

Hello I am new to this forum and I don't really know the ground rules so sorry if this is utterly in the wrong place. Today my monthly updates for my MSI Z87-G45 popped up telling me to update and I click total installer. One of these files was a new BIOS file. It started installing itself and around 40 percent it just failed. It showed a blue screen and it said "oops something went wrong" and it displayed a sad face ( :( ). After this no video output occurred at all. I tried HDMI, DVI-D,A, Displayport, and even unplugged the gpu and tried the on-board video and nothing still shows up. I don't know what version I was previous to the update. Also the computer keeps turning on and restarting every ~3 minutes. Any help is welcome, thanks and please email or reply for more info.

BIOS Recovery Feature
For AMI BIOS
1. Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
2. Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
3. When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.

may you please advice AMI BIOS Ver. or release # to use? as the most appropriate to use to recover the BIOS available download is ver. 1.1 to ver. 1.9.There is no release 1.0. Your advice is most welcome!

MSI A88X-G45 Gaming + 16GB G.Skill TridentX 2x8GB 2400mhz... Memory Missing...

Hello,
Im having a problem that i don´t know if it is CPU related or Board related...
I have today recieved the new memories...
The Gskill Trident X 2x8GB 2400mhz 1.65v 10-12-12-31.
So in total is 16gb of ram.
I putted on the board powered up... System recognized memory alterations and ask me to go to bios.
So far so good...
I went on bios an choosed the XMP on the board that correctly detected the timmings and voltage.
Saved and reseted.
I then entered again in bios and started to notice that only 8GB of my 16GB are visible to the system...
The board detect BOTH dimms, and even in board explorer they are marked on the slots, but i don´t understand where is the rest of the memory...
The board is an MSI A88X-G45 Gaming and im using the last bios 1.5.
I went to windows, and in CPU-ID it detects the 16gb of memory, but on task manager it says i only have 8gb available...
I can´t make any sense of this contraditory information...
Can anyone help me????
I have putted the memory on the recomended slot positions (2 and 4)
Please check pictures bellow...
Thanks in advance...
Best Regards,
LPC

Hello!
Well thanks for your interest and reply´s...

Also this is a KIT of 2. Its paired and its fully functional dimms (i have tested them solo).
This is the memory kit i have purchased...
Now i have some photos i have taken from the POST and inside of the BIOS.
There is a lot of information so bear with me on this please:
After a enter windows i run some aplications to show what i get here...
So.... whats going on here....

BIOS Update for the MSI GTX670 Power Edition Card

There is a Bios update for the MSI GTX670 PE video card but it's for a hybrid card. What is meant by a hybrid card and how do I know if this applies to my video card? Any help would be appreciated in advance. Thank you. I do know that I can't for some reason or another install the Msi Update program for this card. It keeps saying that you have to be the administrator and Iam the administrator on my system. I do not understand.

You can use windows version of it to flash it:
>>Download NVFLASH for windows<<
syntax from cmd:
nvflash -4 -5 -6 myrom.rom [ENTER]
where myrom.rom will be your vbios file

MSI A88X-G45 GAMING code 11

I got my new setup back in May of this year. Haven't had any issues except just today. While browsing the internet and playing Runescape getting ready to play some Dota2. When my screen kind of went all pixel'ated like all different colors then shut down.
It won't even start now. I can't even force it to post by unplugging everything except cpu/fan and one stick of ram. It won't even post and it displays 11 on the digit display on the board. After looking in the manual that came with it. It says it is a Early CPU initialization. I have no idea what that means.
I had my friend who knows more about hardware come over and look at it. And he said it is most likely a motherboard issue.
So what do you guys think? If it is a motherboard issue how do i send the board back.

You must install all Windows 8 Update, before you windows 8.1 Update use
Never use MS Defender and other antivirus software.
After successful system update, install this software

System BIOS update failed

Hello,
I need your help. I ran HP System Diagnostics following recent BSOD incidents (about 3) on my Pavilion dv6. I ran all the tests successfully except Memory Test as it takes 6 hours (approximately).
Interestingly the BIOS test came up with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file". I tried running BIOS driver update from th HP website for my dv6 notebook but I am not sure it worked. During the update the computer would shut down - is that normal?
What can I do to check that my BIOS from 25 January 2013 is the current version? More importantly prevent future BSOD appearing. I have plenty of memory, so rather intrigued. Ran Norton and Microsoft Security and no viruses etc.
Hope you can help.
Many thanks,
Barbs

Hi,
So the system shut down is normal for BIOS update and if I can restart the computer, therefore assuming the update worked.
I checked HP System Diagnostics the BIOS test still returns with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file".
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again,
Barbs

[SOLVED] MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC - Bios Update Fail

Hi,
today i decided to do a bios update of my board.
A friend of me told me NOT to use the Windows-Flash tool cause he killed two borads with it.
Ok so i used the flash utility from the bios/uefi menu with a usb-stick (M-Flash).
Everything looked ok - flash tool was running and told me success/complete and it will now reboot/reset.
At this time i wasn't able to boot anymore
It was like the board tried to read the flash but failed, reset, failed ...
Lucky for me there is this little switch for the bios chip.
Everything worked with the backup chip and i tried to reflash the broken master chip.
-> Using the MSI E-Setup with Mode "In DOS Mode. (USB)".
Booting up the usb stick and switched to master bios chip when i was seeing the "alert - only continue when you know what you are doing bla bla"-message.
Wasn't able to flash anything cause of error:
Quote
ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID
Asking google i should use the /X option (/X - Don't Check ROM ID).
Now i got a new error
Quote
Rom image layout detected RomHole is redesigned
With this message i should use the /K option (/K - Program all non-critical blocks) i was told ... now a was able to flash the chip
And the result was: fail
I found the "HQ USB flashing tool" here and tried to flash the broken chip again (switching the bios switch from backup to master after booting), but also no luck for me ...
After a break i had an idea - at which time i can switch from the backup chip to the master chip?
The bootcode "A2" was the right for me
At the bios/uefi setup all my fans were running at full speed and i was sure this is because of the broken master chip.
So again i tried the M-Flash tool from the setup - f**k it will reset/reboot before the flash progress will start - but now i know the time to switch from backup to master chip
The tool started and i saw the same messages (everything ok, reset/reboot) as i tried it the first time.
Reboot - SUCCESS!
I wasted about three hours of my live to brick and unbrick the master chip, but i don't know why this happend
Maybe this post will help someone to fix a failed bios update.

Thanks for sharing
I used M-Flash a couple of times, just remember DON'T remove usb-stick until it reboot successfully to os....

"BIOS ME update....file not found " since a P67A-GD65 bios update failed

Hi everyone,
I've decided to post this little message after looking for a solution over the web and over the MSI forum because I've got a problem since the BIOS update of my P67A-GD65 MB.
I've followed the update process for the 4.32 BIOS using an USB key, the update started but did not continue after reboot, and since My PC is out of order
The "BIOS ME update....file not found " message is displayed after lots of booting tries, using plenty of methods.
I've looked and tried all the techniques I could find over the web, I've tried :
-PC with and without SATA drives connected
-the last 4 versions of the bios found on-line, even the original version of my MB before updating (1.19)
-4 different usb keys (from 128 Mb to 4 GB)
-all front and back usb ports
Each time, on each usb key, there were several bios versions, even one renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM for testing the recovery method.
I've also tried to make the keys bootable by using the “MSIHQ USB Bootable” tool with the 1.19 bios (after the boot fix), the usb key appears in the F11 boot menu but when I select it, the PC boots but still shows me the "BIOS ME update....file not found " message.
I've also tried a clear CMOS with several power off.
I've also tried to burn a CD containing only a AMIBOOT.ROM file, and to boot on it, but same problem occurs.
In brief, it seems that my PC does not recognize my Key's content, whatever it is.
I've you got an idea to help me ?
Last precision, the update process that failed was using the 4.3 bios version, but my CPU is a not an IvyBridge .
thanks for your help

HI
I've tried with your file , that's better but not solved
the "BIOS ME update....file not found" has gone but my bios is still inacessible.
I put the usb key (with the decompressed file) and the PC starts, displays the MSI boot logo, and then shows a message for hitting F1 or F2 bla bla bla...
Whatever the key that has been hit (F1 or F2, and only the first time), the pc boots again and again after displaying the boot logo, followed by a 30 seconds black screen.
If I remove the key, I've got a message that says I have to put a key on an usb port, and when I put back the usb key , the PC starts to boot again and again.
Once again , I'm stuck.
thanks for your help

HP Compaq 8510w BIOS Update failed, stuck in bootloop.

Let me begin with how this happened. I wanted to create a Hackintosh and decided to use my HP Compaq 8510w for that purpose. But since HP whitelists what WiFi cards you can use (OS X is not compatible with Intel), I had to flash a custom BIOS that removed the restrictions. This flashing worked though it would say it failed and should be flashed again. But it would still work and load everything correctly. I finally decided to restore the BIOS but the installation failed and the laptop is now stuck in a boot loop. I want to know is there any way I can recover the BIOS (WITHOUT SENDING THE UNIT IN FOR REPAIRS) or if I need to purchase a new Motherboard for it. I have tried using the Win+B recovery method though I might have done something wrong because the laptop takes no notice. Do I have to use a USB Floppy or can a Flashdrive be used?
Thanks,
Mark

try it without naming the file. there is only one file that is a ROM filetype. That is the EUR5.14 file in the F5.14 BIOS update. There is also a F.5.11 available under XP. The OS does not matter as this is cross platform code that is loaded before the operating system.
If the preceding does not work then you wil have to go online and find a BIOS recovery company that is relatively local to you. Their websites cover what you need to do for them (provide a valid ROM file. (perhaps a eeprom chip matching the one in your PC)
Going to this level is sometimes a bit too much for non techies as it requires acquiring and properly using a special tool to remove and install the CMOS eeprom chip. I have no idea what level of expertise you have.
Best regards,
erico

Pavilion g6-2235us bios update failed - error msg on boot

I've had trouble updating to Windows 8.1, so I did a bios update, as recommended by the HP Web Site, but it failed, and now the laptop won't boot. It displays error message "Your computer needs to be repaired:\bcd, error code 0xc0000034..." Additional info is available by hitting escape, and I can get into a black screen with options:
f1 System information
f2 System diagnostics
f9 Boot device options
f10 BIOS setup
f11 system recovery
I've been down all those paths, with no luck on proceeding any further. f10 shows me all the bios setup screens and the bios version shown is F29, the version that I tried to upgrade to.
I've tried removing the big battery and pressing the start button for one minute - no joy.
I've tried holding Windows+B+start - no joy
I guess I'm down to trying to create a USB Key with the BIOS on it, and that's where I am stumped. The BIOS softpaq for this machine is sp66880.exe. I've got that on a fat32 usb stick with the volume label HP_Tools, and I've got HP tools on the stick too. When I try to boot with the stick by pressing windows+b+start, the light on the USB stick flashes a lot, but ultimately I get the message "The system bios recovery failed. Unable to open bios image file." I have the feeling that I just don't have the proper setup on that USB stick. I tried to run sp66880.exe on another computer, but it tells me that it is going to immediately flash the bios, which I definitely don't want to do (on my Toshiba laptop!).
I would greatly appreciate any help you all can give me on how to create the recovery USB stick in the proper format. Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Fixed!
It turns out that the bios update actually succeeded, but something in the hard drive boot files got corrupted. I was able to make a Windows 8 Recovery USB stick on another machine, and finagle around to have the HP laptop reformat the hard drive to original factory condition. Fortunately, I made a very recent Macrium image before this most recent problem started, so the next step is to restore that image. With the new v. F29 bios, hopefully this beast will finally upgrade to Windows 8.1.
