Cannot update Bios through Live Update (Z77A-GD65)

I've been trying to update the Bios from A.00 to A.B0.  I've tried it a few times but when I scan for updates it will always say that my current Bios is A.00 and the online version is A.B0.  I'm trying to get this update in the hope that it will fix my problem installing my new Graphic Card.

Don't use LiveUpdate! If it tries updating your bios you have a high chance of bricking the board. Download bios versions from here or the product site and manually flash (and never in Windows).
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Download the compressed archive to your desktop but do not decompress.
Select option 1 of the forum flash tool and point the tool an the compressed archive then follow the direction. After booting from the prepared USB stick afterwards it will flash your bios and ME extension.
Once complete you will need to download and re-install the latest version of the Intel Management Engine Drivers.

  • BIOS Freezing on a Z77A-GD65

    Hello, was wondering if someone can help me out with my situation.
    Just purchased a Z77A-GD65 along with a 2500K and the bios freezes every time shortly after I enter it (cursor and arrow keys doesn't work) but the temperature monitor still shows the 1-2 degree changes in the CPU temperature.
    Edit, forgot to mention, I'm not trying to OC it a lot at the moment, it even freezes when I have it at 3.5ghz, and it also happens when I use OC Genie to OC it.
    Specs:
    Patriot Viper Xtreme 8gb 1866 kit
    Corsair TX850M
    I5 2500K
    EVGA 560ti
    Coolermaster 212 evo heatsink
    Thanks in advance

    Running memtest as I'm typing this on my netbook. It didn't give me much time to revert to default settings as it freezes 1~2 seconds after I load into bios. Heck, it even froze when I had the cpu at the stock clock of 3.3. 

  • Possible to update Z77A GD65 bios with latest intel raid rom?

    I was wondering how difficult it is to update the bios myself with the new intel beta rom?

    I was wondering how difficult it is to update the bios myself with the new intel beta rom?
    Try this one. It's based on the e7751ims.a43 with the following updated components:
    1. intel me firmware 8.0.10.1464 (stock: 8.0.3.1427)
    2. intel raid orom 11.1.0.1413 (stock: 11.0.0.1339)
    3. sandy bridge microcode 0x28 (stock: 0x25)
    4. ivy birdge microcode 0x12 (stock: 0x10)
    I've NOT tested it because I don't have z77 motherboard but it should work fine. However I'll not be held responsible about any direct or indirect damages to (but not limited to) your board resulting from flashing and/or using this bios. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!

  • Dual BIOS switch between? Z77A GD65

    Greetings.
    Have a MSI Z77A GD65A mobo, which should have 2 different BIOS chips. There is a small switch on the mobo where you can switch between them when the PC is turned off.
    It does not seem to do anything though. I just flashed ver 10.8 in BIOS A, where I think I did as described in the expectation that the BIOS B would remain as it was.
    Used this setting:
    The Flash as such went fine, except that BOTH BIOSes now was 10.8. Whether the little switch is the BIOS A or B BIOS, then when it starts up it is in ver 10.8.
    In  the printed manual, there should be a section under "Security" where you can turn on "Multi BIOS Update" on and off. It's just not there since ver 10.5 AFAIR.
    Instead, there is an option with the same name at the top of the displayed image, but if you use it asks for a USBkey with a BIOSfil on right away, nothing to turn on or off more!
    Someone who can guide me on how I switch between these 2 different BIOS, and how I can just flash ONE  bios at a time?

    HEUREKA 
    Tried a last time to switch BIOS but no luck. Then I wanted to try out "the Forum Flash Tool" and flash the BIOS you attached. I can now see, that the Forum Flash Tool does a LOT more than Mflash, it takes about 5 times as long to flash with this than Mflash.
    After the flash was succesfull, I again tried to switch BIOS. WHAUU It worked!! For the first time!!! It was now booting to BIOS ver 10.0!!!!! Then I flashed this to ver 10.7, power down, switched BIOS, and flashed the other BIOS to ver 10.8.
    Forum Flash Tool did the trick. Now I can have 2 different BIOS and 2 different CMOS-setup. My guess is, that Mflash puts the softwareswitch out of function. Why don't MSI tell this on their webside? Why does MSI not make Mflash work properly, or remove it completely! I will NEVER again flash my MSI board without making sure, that I have the latest Forum Flash Tool, and then use this.
    A big Thank You to the creator of Forum Flash Tool. I hope MSI is paying you a nice salery for this fine job. 
    Thank you very much for all your help, xmad.

    I wanted to have the SSDs in RAID0 with Win7 and the games on it, then a volume on the 2TB that the RAID backs up to, with the remaining 1.5TB just free storage space in another volume.  I couldn't get raid past Win7's Where Do You Want To Install screen during installation, so I ended up installing the OS on just one SSD.  I figured I'd backup the functioning OS to the 2TB then rebuild the RAID array and copy the OS back onto it.
    The system had been up an running for a full day, being updated left and right nonstop, several big games put in, etc etc, everything was running fine until I decided to run MSI Live Update and started pumping in updates.  Constant errors as I went along, but generally it'd just skip to the next installation attempt.  When it got down to updating the BIOS and did it's DOS injection thing, it for forcefully shut down the PC, restarted, did Post, flashed the BIOS wallpaper, restarted again, Posted, no BIOS wallpaper, just endless "Missing Operating System".  Walked away, went to bed, back up and at it for a few minutes (Will be back tonight for however long it takes to get it fixed).  I switched the BIOS switch over, no dice.  Feels like it's a BIOS "OS" that's gone, and that a BIOS reset/flash is in order or something, but I've never done these things.
    Thanks in advance for any rendered assistance that leads to resolution.

    The SSDs are definitely hooked up where they're supposed to go; the motherboard had a little sticker n' everything for where the two SSD dedicated SATA 6.0gbps ports were :P  AND my case has 2 specific slots for SSDs which don't use the hotswap electronics PCB passthrough like the other 4 bays, which is where the 2T is installed.  I was going to take the 2TB out and hook it up normally and see if that changed the speeds, but I'm leaning towards wishful thinking.  Did I mention I went and made several volumes with different file cluster sizes to test and see if that was the issue?  Alas, all were borked.  It still confuses me though because every once n' awhile it'd do massive burst speeds the way it's supposed to.
    As far as I can recall I'm using up to date BIOS, the last one or two.  One BIOS switch is set for the last BIOS, the other switch is a step back devoid of the Windows 8 stuff.  I believe I have all the drivers up to date as well.  Intel 335's are literally brand new, mine hadn't been more than 3 weeks old off the production line when I received them; IE, they should pretty much have the latest firmware on them which spares me the risk of destroying something precious 
    I MIGHT have a SATA external enclosure around here somewhere, if so, the 2TB could go in that for additional testing until I figure out where it's sustaining speeds of 2-10MB vs 100-150MB/second.
    Meanwhile, the good news is that the system has been fully operational and hella stable.  I hadn't slept in almost 3 days, playing and installing stuff nonstop.  The system continues to run cooler (32c@stock CPU speed) as the thermal paste sets in, the knocking sound of the fan in the PSU has gone away upon me reawakening a bit ago, and amazingly, this massive system (with EIGHT fans) draws only 60-65 watts while desktopping.  That's just astounding 

  • Z77A-GD65 Win7 64bit boot fail followingMSI Live Update 5 Firmware update

    Hi,
    For some reason I decided to have a go with MSI Live Update 5 auto update today (having not used it previously in the 1.5years I've owned this system.
    Running in Win 7 64 bit, it performed an 'update' and then the system completely crashed (as in turned off and on again). On reboot the system only went as far as the BIOS flash screen.
    It failed to boot form the SSD boot drive and a message saying "Reboot with Proper Boot Drive".
    I booted into BIOS (version  10.11) and the boot drive is still recognised.
    I tried a reboot and the same error.
    I tried to boot backup within BIOS and saw a message flash that ended with "Failed to initialize MSI-X".
    None of the MSI applications work, it doesn't boot into Windows and I'm stuck.
    Can anyone suggest how I might be able to get Windows back and running without having to do a full reinstall? I can't seem to get the backup software to work now so I'm a bit stuck. If I try and do a full flash of the drive and start again, will it fix the issue or is the problem with the motherboard/bios setup?
    Has anyone else had this problem?
    System spec:
    MSI Z77A-GD65
    Intel i7-3770k 3.5Ghz
    Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB RAM
    Win7 64Bit

    YES
    OK, so I found a few people on Tom's Hardware message board that seem to have the same issue with this latest BIOS update from MSI so at least it's not just me.
    I reset CMOS
    I set BIOS to default
    I downloaded the BIOS ME from an older version 10.8 of BIOS that I knew worked fine (from another computer)
    Flashed BIOS with USB
    Booted the system with Win7 64 OEM CD
    Selected Repair Mode
    Let it do its thing
    I'm back in business from where I left off.
    Won't be touching the BIOS update again unless I can be absolutely sure its going to be stable on my MB.
    RE: Legacy and UEFI
    After installing 10.11, it defaulted to UEFI only but I changed the setting to Legacy and UEFI. It didn't fix the issue though.
    I've rolled back, it works again so I'm happy other than the fact I've lost almost a full day of work over it.
    Cheers xmad

  • Z77A-GD65 Live update and mouse

    Hey all!
    trying to see if theres any update to the BIOS for my MB.... but when i enter liveupdate f rom the BIOS I cant use the mouse (well I can move it around but it wont register any clicks).
    So what shall I do?

    You should skip using crappy Live Update and see for a new bios yourself: http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-GD65.html#/?div=BIOS

  • Cannot update graphics card BIOS, MSI Live upate 6 will not work.

    Live update 6 does not support "MSI Radeon R9 280x Gaming 6G" graphics card.
    Live update 6 does not run.
    Even tried mass loading Live update 6 to the point it had 800+ "Live Update.exe 32*" processors running in task manager and they soon disappeared 20 seconds later.
    No UI.
    No Error message.
    If the program is not running it is clear it does not support any of the hardware in my system including "MSI Radeon R9 280x Gaming 6G".
    As a result I cannot update to latest BIOS for my graphics card.
    Operating system: Windows 7 64bit (last update 05/09/2014 6 days ago)
    CPU: AMD A8-6600k APU @ 4.60GHz
    RAM: 8GB Dual channel Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer DDR3 1866MHz CL9
    Motherboard: Asrock FM2A88M Extreme4+
    GPU: MSI Radeon R9 280x Gaming 6G
    GPU details:
    Am I required to have an MSI motherboard to be eligible for a graphics card BIOS update?
    The reason why I seek this is because the entire line of R9 200 series graphics cards are plagued with screen flickering due to ULPS. BIOS updates for other vendors of the card; "Gigabyte", "Asus" etc have been reported to fix the monitor flicking ULPS causes however since I have an MSI GFX card I cannot use Gigabyte and Asus BIOS updates.
    I no longer have the flickering issue due disabling ULPS and overclocking the graphics card however it's causing the card to operate at a constant 48 degrees and chew power.
    With the overclock values and stress testing it with Unigine Heaven Benchmark 4.0 (extreme preset) the card reaches a max of 74 degrees over the course of stress testing for 4 hours.
    But I would like to be able to have my card at factory clock settings with ULPS without the flickering and I'm wanting to see if the staff at MSI are fully aware of the bug in their product line and if the latest BIOS version for the graphics card would fix the issue.

    No but live update is flakey at best and i wouldn't trust it.... (seen far to many problems with it)
    if you want a Updated VBIOS if one is available please supply these 2 things and then one of the other mods will be able to get you what is needed!
    1: Serial number of your card (leave off the last 3 digits and then there is no unique information about your card as the rest is all just manufacture data to all the cards from that batch)
    2: click the little icon to the side of your BIOS version number and save a copy of the VBIOS to a file and uplaod it to somewhere and give us a link to the file... (use somewhere like Dropbox)
    once we have those 2 pieces of information someone here will be able to get one if Available for your card

  • Failed bios update Z77A-G45

    Just looking to see what might have caused this and not a potential fix.  (board is already at the retailer, techs looking in and will send in for RMA is he cant figure it out)
    My system:
    Z77A-G45
    3770k
    Kingston HyperX 8gb
    Seagate 2tb 7200
    XFX 7850
    XFX 750w XXX
    Windows 8 Pro 64
    Flashed one time with M-flash, Bios version 2.8 DL from the motherboards MSI page and followed the BIOS flash SOP accordingly.  Only thing is that BIOS flash SOP said nothing about the USB having to be formatted in FAT32 file system.  I flashed while my USB was formatted in NTFS.  It did flash properly and I did all the necessary update through Live Update afterward.  The thing is that after the update windows explore would become unresponsive quite often and in some websites when I move the cursor over links or picture it would breakup and become pixelated.  So I did the same Bios update again through M-flash but this time in FAT32 and needless to say it did not update properly and just kept rebooting.
    So what might have cause this since I did the exact same thing for both updates and the time when I went about it incorrectly it works
    Now I really feel stupid for not getting the GD65 with the dual bios as originally planned.
    Also can some with the same motherboard confirm this for me.  The S/PDIF led in the rear panel. I swear it was Green the first day the next day while fiddling with the new case I noticed it was Red.  What color is it suppose to be .
    Thanks

    Thanks for the info xmad. I will look into the forum flash tool, so I figure the problem should not have been cause by the fact that I flash the first time in NTFS, since that udate made it through without problem. 
    Also when you say that the M-flash is prone to fail does that also apply to using the USB as a portable BIOS chip cause that didn't work for me either.  If that the case im really contemplating on treating this a lost and get a new board Dual Bios board.
    So I was just reading your stick topic "Bios Flashing & Intel Management Engine" agian I find this very funny cause it saids nothing about this in the instructions for the newer bios.  I can imagine it not being in the owners manual since it was not need for the every version of bios, but one would figure MSI would update important infomation like this on the instuction for the newer versions. 
    thanks

  • HT2188 I bought my iPhone 4s Nov. 20.  I updated immediately to ios6.0 and cannot make it through even 1 day without the battery going down to almost zero.  Thats with apps closed, wifi off, screen off, etc.  It's a horror.  I have to constantly keep char

    I purchased an iPhone 4s on Nov. 20th.  I immediately had to update the software to ios 6.0.1.  I cannot even get through 1 day without the phone battery losing all power.  It loses 10-20% per hour, and that's with apps closed, wifi off, bluetooth off, screen dark, updates current, etc.  You can hold the phone in your hand and watch the power go down.  It also gets very warm.  I have to charge it once or twice a day so I have it when I need it.
    I took it in to the Sprint store for diagnostics to see if there was something wrong with the phone.  They said the phone is ok, but one of the agents said it's the last update - he has had problems ever since.  He said he thought they are working on fixing it & we should be getting another update to fix it.  Is this true?  I sure hope so!  They also showed me how to reboot the phone, especially when it gets so warm.  Is there anything else I need to do?  Please help!
    This is my first iPhone and I am very frustrated and disappointed in Apple.  If it's the software, I would think they would be frantically trying to fix it.  This phone was not the cheapest phone, so the battery life should be better!

    After some troubleshooting, I decided to order a new battery.  I replaced the battery and was then able to get it to restore, however--after I restore it and it comes time to restart the phone, it gets stuck and doesn't turn on.
    Sorry, your repair ruined the iPhone.
    She does not have apple care and even though she loved this device, she isn't going to buy another iPhone because of all the problems shes had with this one (it's just over a year old).
    After you ruined the iPhone with DIY, Apple won't touch it anymore. You should have asked before all these had happened.
    I'm an android user myself and I love rooting/flashing new ROMS, so if jailbreaking her phone or doing some kind of super-restore with 3rd party programs might help, I'm all for it-
    Yeah, all Android user can think of is Jailbreaking, read this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3743

  • I installed 10.6.8 through Live Update, now Snow Leopard doesn't start at all! And I don't even have my Leopard DVD here! What should I do?

    Two days I ago I installed 10.6.8 through Live Update. But, since then, I can't open Snow Leopard! Everytime I got the grey page and the request to reboot turning the Macbook off and then on. I could use Safe Mode, used Utility to repair all the processes and deleted any cache but nothing, tried a procedure of renaming the kernel found on the net and now I can't even open the Safe Mode. I don't even have here my Snow Leopard dvd! What should I do? Called the customer service twice but not that great help. Can I try to use another Snow Leopard dvd (i.e. from a friend of mine)? Should I format the partition and reinstall it? I'm really angry about this, got this Macbook since less than one year and it crashes after an autoupdate, probably forcing me to 700 km x 2 trip to get that dvd (and of course those of any other app I got?!)? Grrr.

    ... tried a procedure of renaming the kernel found on the net ...
    If you've been doing things like that, you probably destroyed your system. You need the installation disc that came with the machine. Another one won't work, unless it's for the same model.
    I'm really angry about this, got this Macbook since less than one year and it crashes after an autoupdate ...
    It failed to boot because of incompatible third-party system modifications that you installed. We know that, because it started in safe mode. Then, instead of removing the modifications, which would have solved your problem, you did something that immobilized the machine completely. You should not have updated the OS without having an installation disc available, and you shouldn't be using a computer at all without backups. Apple can't protect you from the consequences of making bad choices.

  • Design Standard CS3 for Mac - cannot update either through installers or through "update' button - message: cannot connect to internet

    Hello:
    Hoping someone can help me.
    I have a mid 2010 MacBook Pro.
    I use the Design Standard CS3 Adobe suite.
    I have the following issues:
    1. CANNOT update from Illustrator CS3 13 to 13.0.2.
    - If I try hitting the update button through the Illustrator menu I get the error message " Cannot connect to the Internet. Please check your settings and/or firewall" .
    - I try using the standalone updater recommended as a fix in the forums, that says update failed as well.
    Have uninstalled. re installed, clean installed CS3 about 5-7  times so far with no luck.
    Followed all the rules, ran the cleaner
    The update problem has always been there as long as I can remember. I think the issue started with Mountain Lion when I lost access to printers via CS3 and Illustrator/Photoshop would frequently crash after a layer "move".
    Since like everyone else Ie paid a small fortune for this software, I finally decided I needed to do everything I could to update it, but am still unable to!
    2. Since recently upgrading to Yosemite, Illustrator launch is very random - sometimes it does, sometimes it doesnt.
    - Have installed Java RunTime as mentioned in forums, hasn't helped.
    Slightly at my wits end here with this madness, any workarounds or solutions much appreciated, especially for point 1.
    Many thanks!

    Hi venkatnil, I am suddenly having the same problem with my CS3 after recently upgrading to Yosemite. I have actually been working with Photoshop, InDesign and even opened Illustrator to make sure I still could. No problems until one morning I couldn't open Photoshop. It was saying it "could not initialize because it couldn't find the disk". But just Photoshop; all the others still work fine.
    So, I have another disk (not the one that originally installed CS3 all those years ago) to load Photoshop CS3. But it won't load and says "required resources are missing".
    Looking around here for some answers I saw your post and realized that I've always had that same problem with the updater not able to find internet connection, too. AND I had to download an older version of Java RunTime, which seemed to go smoothly.
    Now that a month or so have passed, I'm hoping you found a way to deal with this problem and can share it with me?! Or have we run into some small bug between CS3 and Yosemite that no one is going to bother with?

Maybe you are looking for
