Bricked Motherboard after flashing custom BIOS

Hi, I have A Broken HP Elite Microtower 7000 That won't boot due to me trying to flash a custom bios, All I Get is 2 Beep codes

Go to HP with your problem, MSI has nothing to do with it. Even if it has MSI MB it is custom made for HP and would not use an MSI BIOS.

What to do with bricked motherboard? MSI P67A-G45 AFTER FLASHING LAST BIOS

I flashed MSI P67A-G45 by the last BIOS for IB CPU. The flashing goes twice with intermediate reset. Before I flashed P67A-C43 by the same version from MSI, and all was Ok.
I flashed new BIOS from version 1I under DOS mode. There was a problem with pen drive and I used hard disk without USB pen drive. That was my error. The exe file started and flashed BIOS normally and then after reset started flashing Intel ME firmware. I thought all is going ok and the image is taken from HDD. But after the process finished and motherboard reset, it didn't start at all. The fan starts and stops, LED blinks and motherboard behaves the same way even without CPU. What can I do? Is there any way, suppose, using a EEPROM writer? I have one and I can take the BIOS chip off and flash by old version of BIOS. What can You advise? Maybe the second flash process writes another chip - can You tell me about it. Please advise how to manage this problem.
I received no help from support. I'm not a novice - I work in repair center and have soldering station etc. Can You explain me anything about second flashing process? I need only information and I will be able to manage th :lol_anim:is problem.

Why did you flash the C43 BIOS on the G45 mainboard?

Z68A-GD80(G3) Can no longer read external hd dock after flashing beta bios

I flashed E7672IMS.J31 Beta Bios because I was on a very old bios that was not compatible with my GTX 970 card I just bought. Flashing the bios fixed my 970 compatibility but in the process made it so my 2 external hd docks no longer worked (at this time on windows 7). self powered usb harddrives still worked though. At this time my sata mode was IDE which I thought might have had to do with it since it doesnt have hotswap. I assumed it was an issue with some drivers I installed after flashing the beta bios and I was due for upgrading/reformatting anyways so I enabled AHCI and hot swap then did a clean install of windows 8.1. The external hard drives still don't read!! I've used multiple different hard drives and different usb ports including usb 2.0. The docks are usb 3.0 and I use them daily to edit photos from my work. Any ideas of things I could try?
My pc:
intel 2500k
16gb Corsair vengeance ram
MSI 970 GTX GPU
Corsair 750w power supply
Z68A-GD80(G3) motherboard
E7672IMS.J31 Beta Bios

Could the issue be that I didn't download the Intel Management Driver after installing the beta bios I flashed? Maybe I could try that first, which one from this list do I use with my pc setup?
thanks for the help!

Big problem with KT3 Ultra (ms-6380e v1.0) after flashing the BIOS (de

Hello out there.
I have a real complicated matter with my Kt3 Ultra board.
Used to work fine, but after I flashed it with the latest BIOS (5.7), the board has this strange behaviour: when I clear the CMOS, the board boots up, when I change & save the settings, the board does not "come to life"(black screen & beeper silent).
It has also this weird problem: it shows garbage charaters on the voltage setting of the CPU. Instead of voltages (i.e. 1.750 etc. etc.) I have only "scrambled" strings.
I had MANY difficulties in upgrading the BIOS because the AMI-flashing utility kept telling me "bios protection enabled) (but there was NO bios-protect setting in the previous bios - I checked a zillion times)...but after trying with different revisions finally I made it.
I already tried everything (re-flashed older bios-es etc. etc.)and I'm starting to feel beat ... if you have any advice, please le me know.
It would be really SAD to put this great board in the garbage-dump....
Bye,
Wyk'03

im having problems with this board as well,
i had no problems with the flash,
i did this...
boot to win me floppy,
copy the flash files to ramdrive, flashed to latest bios..
now windows hangs when i have my ac97 audio enabled in bios...
I WANT MY AC97!
hmmm can you get to a dos prompt from a boot disk?
try re-flashing with 1.0 again and then disable the cmos virus protection thingy, and yes it was there it was in the 1.0 bios on the main screen.

MBOX K9VGM-V after Flashing the BIOS successfully Live Update crashes system

I recently purchased a barbones computer with the K9VGM-V motherboard. After installing all the drivers on the disk, updating Windows 2000 competely through Windows Update I decided to try Live Update. The first thing I updated was my BIOS from Ver. 1.6 to 1.7. The flash was completely successful. However when I went back to Live Update(the latest version btw) the minute I executed the program my system completely crashed! It was like I had hit the reset switch. I decided to format my HD and reinstall everything. The BIOS works fine and the system is entirely stable, but even after starting with a clean slate I tried the Online version of Live Update and the same thing happened. My computer crashed and restarted itself. This happened after the BIOS flash so it must be related to that. I am just not sure how or why. Any suggestions or input?
J.C.

Read Moan Guide
So you have crash only when trying to using LiveUpdate or? If yes just ignore it and do not use LiveUpdate

MSI 975X Power Up Edition V2.1 Issue Beside Overclocking After Flash New Bios

Hi all,
I hope I can get a lot of help here. I'm having a few issues with this board. I cannot find any thread that discuss other issue beside overclocking after you flash a new bios. Here are my problem:
1. I installed fresh WindowsXP with SP2. Windows cannot detect new usb device eventhough WindowsXP recognized the usb controller. If I plugin any usb device, windows does not detect a new device. I try to stick a USB flash and I can see the light for a few seconds but Windows cannot detect it. Before I upgrade the bios to version 715 (beta), I used usb flash to upgraded it. Now, the bios is not even boot from usb flash.
2. Other things that concern me, the southbridge chipset is really really hot. If you touch it long enough, it will burn you.
3. I cannot figure it out the front audio from manual book (JAUD1). Is any of you know where the mic needs to go?
Thanks

I removed the Big Typhoon from the MB and I replace with stock fan. I want to make sure the back plate from Big Typhoon doesn't cause any problem. When I bootup the windows, I saw WindowsXP recognized the USB device but it disappeared again. I took the MB out from the case and test it without a case. It stills does not recognize the usb. Somebody mention bad PSU(Power Supply Unit) may cause a lot wierd problem. I changed PSU from RaidMax Vocalno 630W to Ultra X-Finity 500W. I don't have a lot of stuff that require power. Do you think the PSU cause this issue?
This is list of my comp:
MSI 975x Platinum PowerUp Edition V2.1
Conroe E6600 Retail
Seagate 300G SATAII
Maxtor 120G IDE 100
Asus 16X DVD-ROM
NEC 3550A DVD-RW
Ultra X-Finity 500W
120 mm Fan
80 mm Fan
Big Typhoon
FYI: USB Controller and USB 2 Controller are enabled in BIOS.

MSI DR8 not found after flashing MB BIOS

Okay alll, I have a problem. Everything was working fine for me, then I went along and upgraded (via Live Update) to the new 1.40 BIOS for my K8TNeo-FISR2 MB. Now I'm having issues with my DVD burner (MSI DR8). Here's what happens:
After I reset my CMOS settings by jumping JBAT1, I go in to my Standard CMOS Features, and listed as the Primary IDE device (it's the only IDE device I have) is ATAPI DVD/CD 8x. That's great, what it should be. So, I go in and edit my boot order so that it will boot from my RAID set and make a few other changes (set the time, disable the Promise RAID controller, disbale QuickBoot and the LOGO page because I'm trying to troubleshoot), Save and Exit. It boots up into Windows XP (though it takes a lot longer now than before I upgraded the BIOS), but XP does not see the DVD drive. So, I shut down and go into Setup and now there is no Primary IDE Device found. If I manually set it to CD/DVD I lock up right after it performs the memory test.
I tried backing down to the 1.2 verison of the BIOS which I was running before but that didn't help at all. ANY ideas on what is going on here? I did *NOT* flash the DVD firmware, so that shouldn't be the issue. What really trips me up is the fact that it finds it correctly upon resetting the CMOS.
Please help!
Bob

At a idle my cpu with this board and HT enabled, 3.06 P4 runs around 50C but under heavier load it will get to 60C or so. I hope this doesnt shorten its life. However I have been overclocking my P4 to 3381.54 (Reported from WCPUID) and seem to be VERY VERY stable with conventional cooling. I am using an Thermaltake Volcano cpu fan on the "Medium" setting. Which is kind of loud. Once I change it to "Low" it wont cool as well and the temp rises. I would like to know the "recommended" temp for a P4 but cant find a DECENT answer. Even from:
http://support.intel.com/support/processors/pentium4/thermal.htm#Specifications
it doesnt say from X to X should be ok. Thats what I really need to know. I am now thinking about going to watercooling to keep this chip in check, get higher speeds and lower noise. Although the case is full now as it is with 2 DVD burners, a CDR burner, 6 Hard Drives and 3 PCI slots full!

system is rock solid through overnight stress testing at my current speed/timings, so i didnt complain
Yeah, it often happens, that the system runs fine during stress tests, but has problems to boot-up properly when there are memory related problems (initialization problems).
Quote
do you think my memory is defective in some way?
Not necessarely defective. The question is what the native speed/timing ratings of the memory chips look like. Also, DDR3-1066 is actually the max. memory speed that your CPU's memory controller natively supports (according to Intel Specifications). So it is good to start testing here (does not cost anything and is not risky either). If the system starts fine @lower memory clock speeds, we will know more.

I flashed the BIOS on my dv4 2045dx with the F17 BIOS, NOW Black screen, PLEASE HELP

I flashed the BIOS on my dv4 2045dx with the F17 BIOS, NOW Black screen. Now even when pressing the windows and the B key when powering, the screen stay black. Lights, fan, HD, USB drive with HP_TOOLS partition and bios backup flashes goes on for some time with some beeping every 15 sec.
I try to plug it on to a external monitor without luck.
What's next? Can I reload a BIOS from a CD? Anyone have an idea?
Thanks

Hello KenyaKitten
I understand after flashing your bios the PC will not boot. I will do all I can to help with this issue.
First thing let’s do a hard reset, remove all devices from the PC including battery and power cable. Once all is removed press and hold power button for 15-20 seconds. Once that is done insert only battery and charging cable. Try to boot now, if getting same response move to next line below.
Next, I want you to try is to boot into the bios menu. Turn the PC off and as you turn it on tap the F10 key repeatedly. Hopefully this boots you into the bios menu. Screen will look a little bluish grey and have setup utility across the top.
Also if the PC starts beeping at you while you’re tapping you can stop. Now if you reach that screen you may get a box that say save changes and exit choose no. (Note your mouse doesn't work on this screen so you would need to use the arrow keys)
After that press F9 another box will up come about reset defaults, accept that. Then press F10 to save and exit. The notebook will attempt to boot.
Also please inform me if you notice the number lock or caps lock keys blinking off and on. Also please let me know if the PC beeps at you while tapping F10 regardless if the bios comes up or not.
Please respond at your earliest convenience when you get further information.
Thank you.

K7N2 Delta problem after flashing from 5.0 to 5.3

I was using my K7N2 Delta nicely but after flashing the BIOS from 5.0 to 5.3 in LiveUpdate3 (all OK) and then when LiveUpdate ask to reboot... GOOD BYE!
When bootin the D-lights show that I have a processor damaged or not intalled properly (two red light up, and two green down...).
My processor is an Old Tbird 1.2 Ghz with 100FSB.
The question is: Why the mother stops recognicing the processor if before flashing BIOS worked nicely?.
J10 and J11 jumpers:
When I opened case to check out, I had the green J10 and J11 jumpers closed in the mother. The J10 was in safe mode, and the J11 jumper was closed...(133FSB-166FSB??).
I only have another athlon 1.1 ghz FSB100 processor to test the mobo, but I don´t want to take the risk of burn that one two (if is that the problem, of course).
So... I want to know how can I reflash the bios back (I have the old BIOS in a backup floppy disk, of course)... or if anyone else have the same problem as me....
Thanx a lot guys, and please help me... I´m very sad by now... because I don´t know how to get my computer to work.
Jose.

Minimum hardware needed to flash the BIOS.

K8N Neo4 Platinum MS-7125 (v1.0) MB. What is the minimum hardware needed on the motherboard to flash the BIOS using the recommended floppy with CD support and enabling the temporary virtual drive like the instructions say to do? MSI support recommends I flash to the latest BIOS (W7125NMS.145) before I start using my San Diego 4000+. So I was hoping to flash while I'm building the system up before I install the OS. So I guess what I'm asking, can I flash with just the CPU/fan, video card/monitor, and memory? And no hard drives installed?
Thanks!

It may be advisable to use only i memory module in slot1 to give better stability

MSI 770T-C45 won't post after flashing BIOS with M-FLASH

After flashing AMIBIOS 8.3 to v8.7 with M-FLASH via USB stick I can't get any post.
Had I read this forum before I wouldn't have done it, but here I am.
Fan starts, LEDs are off, no beeps at all, power button does nothing. Black screen.
After force flashing (yes, I am THAT stupid) the prompt said it would reboot in 5 seconds and after that nothing.
Here's my setup:
Board: MSI 770T-C45
Original Bios: v8.3
Flashed Bios: v8.7 (flashed with M-FLASH)
VGA: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
PSU: Enermax FMAII EG465AX-VE 460W
CPU: AMD Phenom x4 9650
MEM: Kingston DDR2-667 4x2GB KVR667D2N5/2G
HDD: SAMSUNG 840 SSD 250GB
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64bit
I tried every CMOS clearing method found in previous posts and threads (including this and this.)
1. Unplugged from power, waited 5 minutes, removed the battery (5mins), changed jumper position (5min), switched it back (5min), plugged it in (5min) and powered up with and without USB stick in the hub next to network hub with old BIOS (v8.3) inside. Pressed CTRL+HOME, anything, not a single message or beep or LED flashing.
Also I removed all RAMs and kept one in the first socket. Nothing.
I really don't know what to do next. What seems to differ from other users is LEDs non working, what does that mean?

The problem here is that after update 8.6 the m-flash module was updated, so yes your mobo is a brick, but there is still hope for it. I had the same situation a few days ago with the exact same model and was able to recover it by following the steps on listed on the below posts:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133578.0
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129989.0
It may seem complicated at first, but trust me its not at all.
Anyways you probably already have another mobo, send it for RMA or used it as frisbee, but it may come handy for some other doing the same noob flashing as we did
