T60 Flash New BIOs freeze

T60 running win xp pro. I downloaded thinkvantage system upgrade and ran it. It froze on "Flash new BIOs". What now?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

flashing a new bios can be risky, if your system isn't stable you can end up destroying your system board. Make sure you have a valid reason for updating the bios, don't do it just because you can, and when you do update it, do it manually not automated. run ONLY the update program with nothing else, not through system update. It would also be wise to disconnect from the net so there is nothing else going on in the background that could cause a crash.
Also make sure you have a constant source of ac power and a fully charged battery.

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

Seagate 300G SATAII
Maxtor 120G IDE 100
Asus 16X DVD-ROM

FYI: USB Controller and USB 2 Controller are enabled in BIOS.

Flashed new bios V1.10 , now Pc wont load past windows loading sceen.HELP

hi i have a neo-f p965, i flashed the bios today to the new update v.1.10. now my pc wont load past the windows loading screen, it just reboots every time.
i want to go back to a older bios version if posible. can anybody help me, this is a disaster if i cannot get it to work.
many thanks
Noel.

Get this.
Select your motherboard. Then click BIOS, download previous version.
Rest is simple.
Or you can stick with the 1.1 BIOS and reinstall Windows.

HELP! I cant flash my bios, :censored:....

When I got to flash my bios I enter the correct file names in the command prompt, then when i get the message if i want to save my current bios i say no, and then it says "Source File Not Found!" what does this mean and what am i doing wrong? thanks.

You may just want to get it downloaded again. Likely it's just corrupted is all.
Oh and if someone doesn't answer it is likely as not due to the fact they don't know the answer.

Cannnot flash new bios on K9A platinum

i been trying to flash the 1.2 bios over the 1.1 i have on my motherboard using the msi utility in windows but the only thing that happens is that the system just hangs and then i have to reboot. any ideas? thats the only problem thats puzzling me otherwise its an amazing board

Create a bootable CD and do it.
I didn't have to use a RAM Drive. I used a single floppy (brand new), boot disked it and copied over the flash.
I have tried with a booable cd, but that did'nt work either. Did you flash from the floppy? I have never used that flashtool so I might have done it wrong. I just followed the steps in the word doc that came along with the bios files.

got my board 4 days ago from scan.co.uk...there was a website that said the board they were testing had the x wing logo on it too hmmm. bought it from scan.co.uk
Ok, then it's most likley the same board as I got. Strange tough, that the pictres are different. On the box its a picture of an X-Ving tough.

Flashing new BIOS creates CMOS error

Hi,
I have Q200 Desktop.
Yesterday, I checked for the new updates from Lenovo. I found out that there is BIOS update 52JY54USA.
I downloaded the flash version and updated. The updation went successfully without errors.
Trouble started when I rebooted.
During booting my system displayed "CMOS Checksum bad" error. But allowed me to continue to boot into OS.
I tried to update the same BIOS with "Destroy CMOS Checksum" option. There was no improvement.
Eventhough it is not a showstopper I have automated my PC for waking up in midnight and downloading during my Broadband free hours. This will not be possible because I need to press F2 everytime the PC boots and resumes.
By luck I think, I booted into Vista, went to Lenovo website downloaded the CD version of the same BIOS update and burned to a CD. Rebooted and updated the same BIOS update thru CD version.
Now system rebooted and surprise, there is no "CMOS Checksum bad" error.
Now, Is there anyone got this error.
Also is there any reason for this? just a curiosity.
R Balaji

Hi R Balaji,
I don't know what caused your first BIOS update error. But in general, I would recommend always using the bootable CD to update the BIOS, as you ended up doing. Trying to update BIOS from inside Windows is AFAIK far more trouble-prone than using the boot CD.
I'm glad to read that you fixed your problem, congrats.
Best regards,
Frank

MOVED: X58 Pro not POST after flashing new bios v7.1

This topic has been moved to BIOS.

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.

Z68A-GD65 (B3) & Vertex 3 MI Edition: random crashes (no minidump)

I'm kinda pulling my hair out here, so i hope someone can shine some light on my issues.
I've been trying to update the BIOS for the Z68A-GD65 (B3) board, but i can't seem to get it to work because of an error. I've used the HQ USB Flashing Tool to update it, but every time i boot from the USB stick and try to flash, it results in an error message saying that BIOS corruption has been detected
I wanna update the BIOS because i'm having lockup/freeze issues, which i thought were related to my SSD drive (OZC Vertex 3 MI Edition). But since RMA sent me a new SSD 3 days ago, and this 1 is giving me the same error/BSOD (without Minidump creation, so no idea what error that is) i'm starting to think something else is wrong. RAM is tested with memtest and passes fine.
Any thoughts on how to update my BIOS? FIXED!
System Specs
MSI Z68A-GD65 (B3) with BIOS v22.4, i7-2600k, Windows 7 Enterprise x64
OZC Vertex 3 MI Edition 120GB (VTX3MI-25SAT3-120G)
Kingston ValueRAM 2x4GB (KVR1333D3N9K2/8G) + Kingston ValueRAM 2x2GB (KVR1333D3N9K2/4G)
LG BH10LS30 BD-writer
BeQuiet DarkPower 450W powersupply
no overclocks.
The crashes happen randomly, but not very often. For example the system has been running for 2 days now, before i JUST noticed the first BSOD. For some strange reason there isn't a Minidump created, so i can't check what's going on (minidump (Kernel size) & pagefile both enabled). In the last week the system has 'crashed' for about 4 times and since every time that happened (mostly during nights) i was seeing a black screen with the message: No boot device detected. Insert boot device and restart system (or something like that).
When i checked my SSD, i was showing a green & red light on the back. Hard reboot seems to fix everything, red light goes away and the system runs normally again. Since i thought the BSODs were related to my SSD, it's been sent for RMA, and i received a new one 3 days ago, only today.... i had another crash :(
What did i do/try/test?
- Ran memtest for a night -> no errors
- Updated FW of Vertex 3 to latest
- Did a clean windows install
- Updated motherboard BIOS (just did that today)
- RAM settings (fixed): 1066MHz, 7-7-7-20, 1.55V, spread spectrum disabled (i know these settings fixed problems with my P55-GD65 board)
I hope someone recognizes this issue, or has any thoughts on how to figure out what's going on. Off course it's possible that i've got another faulty SSD, but i think the changes on that (after RMA the first 1) have been dramatically reduced...

Quote from: Bernhard on 11-September-11, 22:19:23
The first thing I would suggest is to test your system with only one of those Kingston RAM kits installed. i.e. only use the 2 X 2 kit and test or only the 2 X 4 kit.
Mixing of mem sticks on the Sandy Bridge platform is not a good idea and can lead to unexplained and inconsistent errors, even if its just the RAM amount that differs on the modules.
If you haven't tested the RAM in isolation, then do that. You may even want to test with only one single stick installed first.
After only installing the targeted kit/module do a CMOS clear and start testing again. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
I've test a single bank of RAM, a dual-kit of RAM and all 4 banks filles. It has been running at least 20 passes of test 5 & 7 of Memtest, without any errors. I think i can assume my RAM is a OK after this testrun.
Quote from: louisville slugger on 11-September-11, 23:17:04
When you flashed the SSD to the latest firmware was hotplugging disabled or enabled in the BIOS? The staff over on the OCZ forums thinks the drive will act like an external drive if it was flashed to the latest firmware while hotplugging was enabled. Does your machine freeze, BSOD, reboot and then say "insert boot device"? (Bugcheck 0x000000F4) OCZ has mentioned a new firmware might be in the works and could be available for download in the next few weeks. One of the staff members mentioned a potential fix (for members using Intel chipsets) in the meantime which may or may not work.
http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/forum/showthread.php?93919-All-you-guys-with-Intel-chipsets-and-BSOD-here-is-something-you-can-try...it-may-or-may-not-work-it-will-do-no-harm-though
I am testing it out right now. Originally I had reset CMOS, re-flashed the drive with hotplugging disabled and AHCI set in the BIOS, secure erased the drive using the Linux bootable .iso, re-installed windows, installed all the drivers, but my machine would still experience occasional BSODs. A few days ago tried the steps in that thread up to the "If you want to go a step further than this you can try the following...ONLY do this after you have done the steps above” line.
I haven't had a BSOD since **knocks on wood**.
When i upgraded this desktop, i was running an Vertex 2 (BIOS set to hot swap & AHCI enabled), and since the Vertex 3 can't update FW when it's being used for OS driver, hot swap was enabled while i flashed it. What you're talking about REALLY sounds like my problem. Since the freezes/crashes mostly occured during nights i wasn't able to see what the source of the issue was. Today was the first time i noticed a BSOD (for a second...) before it rebooted, and then (indeed!) it showed me the screen telling me there wasn't a bootdevice availabe. I'll go check out that thread you refered to and read up on that. BIG TNX for the link

I can't upload new BIOS f.40 on my Probook 4740s

Hi. I can't upload new BIOS or older BIOS on my laptop. why? How can I fix it? I bought a new laptop from store with windows7 in it, but it doesnt work correctly. I downloaded a new BIOS f.40 from HP site, it showed me, that BIOS instaled in my pc is F.01. I find out, that it isn't for my computer. maybe that because I cant upload new BIOS? So, how can I solve this problem? I downloaded a programe for BIOS to flash BIOS from usb stick, but I couldnt finde BIOS F.40 right for that program.

Hello dziugesiukas. I understand you're trying to update your BIOS.
There is a F.40 version of your notebook's BIOS. Here is a direct link.
What happens when you try and install this BIOS? Do you get an error?
I"ll keep an eye out for your reply. Have a great day!

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.

X220 4286-CTO can't update new bios

I get the new X220 today and want to update the new bios because the "unexpected CPU throttling mode" problem.
But when i using system auto update, it can't found any new bios(my bios is 1.12) for my system.
So i manually download the 1.17bios from the lenovo websit.
but when i install it, it also failed to refresh and indicate as follow:
The process does not recognize this system.
The process has been canceled.
Could anybody tell me what the problem was?
My system is X220 4286-CTO, but i can't find my type on the web selection. And if I use autodetection,it confuse my system as X220i 4286-CTO.
I want to update to new bios.How can i do?
THX!!

hoang0100, my apologies as I haven't understood you clearly...
May be you try flash BIOS via setup after laptop boots?
The BIOS flashing process is simple - just download the BIOS image and Update Utility (in one pack) from Lenovo's web site. Presently the last version of BIOS is 1.17, direct link on US site for your laptop model is here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS018805.
Download and launch exe file, setup process will start. You'll be promptetd the path where files will be extracted. At the end of installation process you'll be asked to start the flashing process automatically. Close all applications, plug-in AC adapter and start. You'll see the process. Don't do anything on laptop during that process, about one minute. At the end your laptop will be rebooted. That's end. Also you'll get backup copy of your current BIOS, that file has name bios.bak.
Note you can flash new BIOS or re-flash manually by launching winflash.exe.

MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) 99.8MHz bug, temporary fix to make it 100MHz

With the current available official and beta bios, when disabling spread spectrum, the bus speed does not increase from 99.8MHz to 100MHz, I have messaged MSI support again to look into this with the current 23.4B4 Beta Bios.
Anyway I have found a fix for this, download the latest Control Center v2.2.0036 off the MSI website.
If your CPU Base Frequency is at default in bios 10000 you will see 98.8MHz on CPU-Z so in Control Center change the Base Clock (MHz) to 100.2 MHz and click save.
If your CPU Base Frequency is at 10010 you will see 100.2MHz on CPU-Z so in Control Center change the Base Clock (MHz) to 100MHz and click save.
Either way when you reboot it will always show 100MHz.

Thanks for posting this, and creating the thread, Nelly
I just use the 10010 bclk bios setting, but that band-aid solution doesn't net an even 100.0MHz.
My earlier attempts at contacting support about the 98.8 issue just get the generic "disable spread spectrum" reply. Some of the earlier bios for my previous MSI P67-G43 board gave me the correct 100MHz bus speed for that board, but it also changed to 98.8 with the later bios releases.
But even the "first" "00" bios for the Z68A-GD65 G3 has the 98.8 flaw, as does every single bios that MSI has issued for this board, beta or otherwise, since.

Granted you might get away with it. But the next person that reads this & uses that for everyday may not be so lucky. If games, applications, programs, & whatever else can't be done on what 1.400v's can provide for a decent performance level, the rest is just for show. That 'is not' a low low voltage for a 4.8. One of the test rigs here & a 2600k will do 4.8 on only 1.392v's with 4 cores & 8 threads & never miss a beat. If really serious about everyday maximum performance on 'real' low low voltage, get a 2700k!
Rather impressive voltage for 4.9 with that 2700K
It takes 1.390v. in the bios for my 2500K to do a 12hr. P95 run with no errors, at a much lower 4.6GHz.

New BIOS 2.29-1.08

Hello
Have anyone flashed new bios 2.29-1.08 for ThinkPad T/R 61? The same day (or next) after flashing I got blue screen in Windows 7 (I've never had such a blue screen on my T61)
***Hardware Malfunction
Call your hardware vendor for support
NMI: Parity Check/Memory Parity Error
***The system has halted
I flash back previous version (2.27).
Do you have any experiences with version 2.29?
PS. I tested RAM modules with MemTest and whole system with some tool included in Lenovo Toolbox. Everything was OK.

Recently actually (even after replacing systemboard) I experience problem described here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69684
So I don't need to test GPU for several hours. Playing video on youtube/vimeo is enough
