Bios won't upgrade

I have a 865GM2 board, I got the updated bios from the MSI website but the bios won't update. The board is in an OEM Advent PC but I can't get a bios from the as they no longer have a website.
Anyone know what I can do ?

ok firstly i did not build my sys for extreme OC !   although i am at 235fsb now and went active with raid 0 {been quite slow at work weather and all} i do OC slightly.
    your power supply is very very low,AS your sys  IS you need a PSU with at least 22 amps on the 12 volt rail,then you could replace the mobo with a 800mhz FSB and still run your processor at 533 untill you could get a 800 fsb proc,then your ram will be holding you back and will need a matched pair {2 ram sticks, 256mb of ddr 400 in dual channel mode =800 fsb,for a total of 512 mb of ram }will get you started OCing.
did you get the cd MS XP PRO Media Center 2005 SP2 with your purchase,as once you change the mobo you will have to reload the OS {HD}
use the profile section and create a sig

  • Satellite A135-S2356 - BIOS won't recognize SATA Hard Drive

    Hello everyone, hope you can help me out.
    Got a used Satellite A135-2356, everything looks fine but BIOS won't recognize SATA HDD, shows no disk, downgraded BIOS to 1.30, no good, upgraded to 1.40, no good. BIOS has no options to change/test/detect HDD/SATA settings. Tested hard drive in another laptop and reads it fine. Got restore CD (Vista Basic 32) from Toshiba but since BIOS won't read HDD, can't do anything. Cleaned contacts, no good. This HDD must be too large or something for the board.

    Thanks for the help!!!

    Hello Richie
    To be honest I do not believe the HDD is too large for your notebook. I can imagine your notebook can handle with 160 GB HDDs too. Unfortunately there is no public document about HDD upgrade possibilities. I can imagine that ASP in your country has info about this stuff.
    It is also pretty strange that HDD is not recognized properly. Long time ago I have had the same problem. Every time when I have used F12 at the start up HDD were not listed as bootable device. Solution in my case was to set BIOS to default settings. I believe your BIOS has already default settings but try to do this again.

  • ITunes won't upgrade to10.5. Error message "There is a problem with the Windows installer package. Contact the package vendor". I need help.

    iTunes won't upgrade to10.5. I'm on 10.1.17.
    When installing 10.5 it terminates with an error message "There is a problem with the Windows  installer package. Contact the package vendor".
    It does not provide an error code or details/description to further troubleshoot. As a result I can't upgrade my Apple devices to leverage the cloud.
    Any smarts out there who could help?
    Using PC Win-7 w/IE 7 (should that matter)
    Thanks much

    I know there's a million threads like this, but I thought I'd record my experience.  I, too, was having the original poster's error when I tried to update iTunes on Windows XP.  I think I was stuck on 10. 
    I solved it by un-installing iTunes and every other Apple app.  I discovered that Apple Software Update would not un-install as its MSI file could not be found.  I used the "Windows Install Cleanup" tool from Microsoft to remove Apple Software Update from the list of installed programs.  Google "kb290301" for a Microsoft page that includes a download link for it.  After that, I was able to install a fresh copy of iTunes 10.5.2.
    I'm not sure why this app's folder and MSI were missing from my computer.  I had once used Laplink PC Mover to move everything from my old computer to this one, and perhaps it missed a bit.

  • Bios won't see s-ata disk...

    My bios won't see my WD 36,7 Raptor. When i start windows installer, it give me the F6 choise and i install the Fasttrak 376 driver or s-ata 376\378 driver (tried both), then windows is about to start installing but can't find my hardisk. Everything is connected correct so i don't understand whats wrong.
    can anyone help me, please?     tnx

    press ctrl + f during boot up and create a raid array.
    THEN you press f6 key as you described.
    you need to create a raid array even if its only 1 drive.
    you should also consider to change that crap psu you got.

    My desktop Pro won't upgrade from it's current format of 10.5.8 it just states up to date software? Please advise my course of action!

    The first step in Upgrading... is to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...

    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

    Other countries...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • Display driver won't upgrade

    My original display drivers is giving me issues. When I try to update the driver, it won't upgrade.  Please help! Thanks!

    You are welcome.  Thank you for the additional information.
    The first thing that you should do is, uninstall the current driver.  You can do this by going into the Control Panel / Device Manager / Display adater.  Right click on your video card and select "Uninstall".  Once the driver is uninstalled, you can install the latest driver.  Is this the driver that you are attempting to install?  You can't use retail drivers from AMD/ATI with HP OEM video cards.

  • I bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    i bought a new MacBookPro moved everything from old MacBookPro, new machine runs 10.6.7 - but iPhoto won't 'upgrade' the library - just hangs up supposedly while writing new library. help. thanks.

    How did you "move everything" over?
    Migration assistance does not handle the iPhoto library well sometimes - the best way is to drag the bad iphoto library from the pictures folder on the new system to the desktop, connect the two systems together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old system to the pictures folder of the new system and launch iPhoto on the new system - it will open and convert the iPhoto library as necessary and you will be fine - once you test the iPhoto library you can delete the one on the desktop

  • Itunes won't upgrade IOS on device

    Using ITunes 10.2, and Mac OS X ver 10.6.7.  I'm trying to update Iphone 4 and IPad to IOS 4.3.3 and ITunes won't upgrade the device. It download the upgrade, backs up the device, but then says, I don't have the authorization to update the device.  Sometimes if I log on as a test user, with admin rights it will allow the change, but then it wipes all the information and files on the device too.
    The apple's primary account, with ITunes is what I use to sync and download new apps and stuff, it should also be able to update the IOS, any ideas why it's not letting me?

    Then I tried to update itunes and nothing happened.  It wouldn't even start to upgrade.
    With that one, try updating using an iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) downloaded from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Does that go through any better for you?

  • I Photo Libraries on ext HD won't upgrade, permissions 'cannot be repaired'

    I've copied several I Photo Libraries to external HD over the years.  Upgraded to Lion, now some libraries won't upgrade and permissions 'cannot be repaired' how do I access these photos/videos?

    We need to know the format. Is it a NAS? FAT or NTSC? Mac OS Extended (Journaled)? Any but the last of these will cause you issues.

  • How do I fix my iPad if it won't upgrade to iOS 5? I have iTunes on here and every thing else I need what do I do?

    How do I fix my iPad if it won't upgrade to iOS 5? I have iTunes on here and every thing else I need what do I do?

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • BIOS won't start - MSI GS70 Stealth

    Hi,
    I have a GS70 but since I tried to update the bios (in the bios utility), the bios won't startup anymore. When I press 'del' during setup the screen goes black with a '-' on the screen. However windows does startup correctly when not entering bios mode.
    I tried to do a flash through the DOS prompt with the following command 'afuwinx64 E1771IMS.E50' (I have the non raid version) to try to restore the problem but this didn't fix it.
    I hope someone has a fix for this problem.
    Sincerely,
    Jochem

    Just solved the problem thank you darkhawk.
    If anyone has the same problem, here is what I did.
    - Prepared a MSI HQ memory stick
    - Since I couldn't boot from USB anymore I pressed F3 during bootup
    - Then in the menu go to dos-prompt
    - go to memory stick
    - type flashwin64.bat
    - after update hold power for 4 sec
    - Disconnect power cable
    - hold reset button for 5 minutes (since you can't remove the battery very easily on the GS70)
    - insert power cable
    - boot up
    thank you.
    You shouldn't need to hold reset for 5 minutes, but holding it for 20 to 30 seconds should be sufficient. Needless to say, I'm glad you got the issue fixed. 

  • HT1338 My iPhoto account wont stop saying it needs to quit as soon as I open it, quit or upgrade and it won't upgrade, what to do?

    It claims there's an incosistency in my database and won't upgrade when choosing upgrade...tries to quit then relaunch but continuosly goes to quit or upgrade, what do I do?

    Hold both the Command - and Option - keys down as you open iPhoto from your dock.
    You will be presented with various database repair options.  Choose appropriate ones.  Generally work from top to bottom in the list you're shown.
