Confused with bios update instructions.

greetz
facing the stange problems ive got, i thought that i would flash my bios to the latest version as the current is something 1.9 while the latest is 1.D
my system is a MSI K8N Neo4 and im confused with the flashing instructions as the first thing the flashing instructions state is not to flash from
a floppy. now since i am not to flash it of a floppy, how should the flashing be done?
the reason i want to flash is that when i attempt to install opensuse linux 10.1, it states that the system bios is representing 3 drives as configured
for raid, i have zillion checked the bios and resetted all the settings just to make sure yet it always appear the same, any ideas? feel a bit helpless here.

i'm pretty sure i've seen the same thing before, its that the Linux kernel used by Suse 10 no longer supports software RAID arrays
maybe one of the guys in the Nvidia area can advise a bit better on whether the Nforce4 RAID is software or hardware controlled

How does live update 6 work with BIOS updates?

I want to upgrade to the x99 platform but I am concerned with how new it is. I want to make sure I keep the BIOS updated because of the "newness" of it all and compatibility issues. Although I have built and continue to upgrade my system I am in no way proficient in trouble shooting or making changes. So flashing the BIOS always makes me nervous that I will screw something up. So when I heard that MSI has a program called live update 6 that automatically updates the BIOS it got my interested.
Can anyone give me some advice on how this program works? Or are the compatibility issues more an issue of the past when Intel rushed the CPUs out and the MOBO makers had to play catch up?
Thanks for everyone's advice and help.

Hi
Which exactly motherboard you're looking for? If you're afraid of bricking BIOS, then I suggest something like X99 MPower/XPower which has dual BIOS.
LiveUpdate: downloads the update pack, does some magic within bootup and updates the BIOS. I don't know the exact process it does, but works just like installing a software: download, extract, install. Also MSI offers MFlash which lets YOU go through flashing process: download, prepare USB stick, boot from USB (or use MFlash within BIOS settings) and update.
Risks: flashing BIOS is always a risk, no matter if it's MSI, Gigabyte or anyone else's brand. It's a chip, that if something goes wrong (for example system is not stable), then motherboard may get bricked and recovery may/may not be possible.

Portege Z835 - need help with BIOS update

Hello.
I have a Portege Z835, with a battery problem: don't charge. The battery indicator says "3% connected and charging" but it don't charging the battery.
Some forums says that the solution is updating the Bios. I have a Bios update v.1.60 ready for install. When I try to install, we get the message "the battery power is not enough".
My power cord is always connected. If I disconnect the power cord, laptop is off.
Please, what can I do?
Thanks.
GB.

Hi
Theoretically this issue could be related to faulty battery.
As mentioned by Silas, even if the notebook is not ON the battery should be charged if AC adaptor is connected. So Im afraid its not BIOS issue and update would not help you.
You can try this: If notebook is OFF, remove the battery.
Now connect the AC adaptor and power up the unit now the OS should not report any battery statues since the battery is not plugged in.
Now connect the battery and check if the battery charging status would change/increase.
If this does nothing, would recommend testing new battery.

Problem with BIOS update to P45 Diamond

Ok I have been trying to figure out why I couldn't push the fsb on my CPU much past the stock 266mhz mark. I spoke to a friend and he suggested I try updating the BIOS, sounded like a good idea so I tried it. Went online, saw the Live Update icon and used it. Now I restarted the machine after the update which said that I had the latest version but that it had optimised it somehow. Upon restart I saw the usual boot, memory count and then blank. I've tried reseting the CMOS, loading safe defaults and so on but to no avail. I'm guessing the Live update uploaded something that doesnt agree with my machine. is there anything else I can do besides taking it back to MSI for repairs?
my system is as follows
qx6700
p45 diamond
3 x 1gig xtune ddr3 1600
asus 8800GT
700 watt PSU

Thats the thing, there's no hard drive activity at all else I would have assumed it was to do with the vga or monitor. It's got to be the bios right? but I don't know how to update the bios if I cant even get to a dos promt

I'm confused about BIOS update

I have been told by Tempo to download a new BIOS.
Done this and unziped it.
The help page for laptop BIOS tells me to run the *.exe file to run the program in the windows environment.
Problem: there is no exe.
The ZIP is 20080311101712
If I try to run the help file it tells me it won't run on Vista.
Regards
Viv

Hi,
i have downloaded the bios and there is a exe file.
SWinFlash.exe
You need to start this I think.
And if you have problems to run the update on Vista, I would try to start it as "Administrator".
(right click on the *.exe file and select run as administrator)

[MSI Z97 Xpower AC] Confusion about about BIOS updating...

So I am a newb who has just finished his first build, using the "MSI Z97 Xpower AC" motherboard (purchased last month).
The first thing I want to do is update the BIOS.
But I am a little confused about how I should proceed.
In the manual, it describes the "M-Flash" method for updating BIOS.
But as I was reading reviews of this motherboard, there was some talk about the manual being "out-dated" in regards to BIOS update instructions. Some people suggested using some "forum method" for updating. I also see this topic which provides an alternative method for updating the BIOS:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172772.0
So how do you think I should proceed with updating the BIOS?
Really, what is the safest method?

Quote from: JLio01 on 31-March-15, 07:54:03
Forum tool is safer, M-Flash is easier. (my pov..)
I agree with that. Although for this motherboard (any with Dual BIOS), it should not matter whether it's safer or not, as you can always restore bricked BIOS by using secondary one
As you are using very first version of BIOS (v1.0) you can either use >>This One<< for MFlash which is latest official available v1.7 from MSI's product website OR for latest official/BETA BIOS to be used with Forum flash tool, you have to ask Svet to prepare a file for you (simply ask for it on current topic)
But the real question is: do you have any issues with your system that BIOS will fix it?? Because if your reason to flash is "I want latest", then forgive me, but that's the worst "reason" you might ever have.

Dead dv6-7214 with MSATA C DRIVE after hp support assistant loaded new bios update. 5-18-13

I postponed a bios update because that makes me nervous. Apparently for good reason.
Today I let the nag proceed with bios update on my dv6-7214 running win8.
It said it was doing a system restore point, but that seems to have been useless.
The notebook had a black screen after an hour of "rebooting", so I powered down.
Power on still black screen.
No response to any keys prerssed after power on, such as esc key.
I read several posts regarding needing to roll back bios updates, which doesn't say much for HP
that this is a recurring problem.
I am NOT getting a blue screen, not getting anything at all.
Is there a way to roll back a bios short of shipping it back to HP?
I did not write down the bios version, just trusted it was needed. Wont be letting hp support assistant to run anything else.
I guess i will uninstall HP support assistant, if i ever get my computer back to the point it can turn on.
Cant think of any software bug as bad as the one loaded by hp into my bios.
Anyone? How do a reset the bios with a totally unresponsive notebook?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Thanks chryig, but no that did not work.
Hp support emailed the same solution.
The dv6-7214 has an msata slot, which can be configured as C drive, which I did with an msata ssd.
The drive which came with the laptop was in the sata slot, as usual, but was not C drive.
I found someone posting identical problem, black screen, (not blue screen) no error messages, just bricked.
They also has an SSD C drive.
I tried temporarily moving the msata to the sata slot (with an adapter). This allowed the bios to complete
its update.
So it isnt the Bios that is broken, but the Software to perform bios update is broken.
Update (bios) fails if the C drive is anywhere but the sata slot (or perhaps the c drive must be drive 0).
Hopefully HP will fix this problem. Many HP laptops are sold "upgraded" with additional disk via
value added reseller. Since there are only 2 sata slots and 1 msata slot the C drive can be in, it
should be possible for the update bios software to handle this small number of possibilities.

New Bios update for S10e compatible with original S10?

I saw on S10lenovo that they said the fan problem is now fixed with the new bios, so it runs at a low speed all the time instead of going on and off(which is quite annoying). I was wondering if the bios update is compatible with the original S10? if not, then when will the original S10's bios update be available? Thanks!

If your not familiar with bios updates, be very careful. Make sure your 100% positive its the proper one and it works, flashing an incorrect bios will essentially cripple your system.

Yoga 2 Pro Went DEAD After BIOS Update

Had a horrible experience .. with good ending ... when upgrading Bios for my Yoga 2 Pro. So I'd like to share with others. I bought my Yoga 2 Pro last June (Man 3/22/14) and love it! But, it had problem restarting automatically after Windows Update. At least 3 times (That I can recall. Did not use it briefly from June 30 - July 22), the screen reminding user not to shutdown after Windows the update would stay on until I manually powered it down and restarted it. Last July 23, it did again after Windows Update. Searched Lenovo web-site and found a Bios Update for Yoga 2 Pro (Win 8.1 64-bit). Downloaded the new Bios (dated July 11, 2014) and went through the instruction striclty. First of, the screen responses were not at all as detailed in the instruction. So, the instruction is not very good. Received 2 warnings: Make sure the laptop is connected to the charger during the procedure, and the bios is for Yoga 2 Pro ONLY do not install it on any other models. As part fo the procedure, the laptop switched to a Bios Utility program. Again received the aforementioned warnings. Update progress was shown on the screen. All of a sudden, then screen went blank and the keyboard stayed lit. Waited for about 30 minutes. Still the same. Press and held the power button down (not sure for how long) ... nothing! Just no response from the latop. Called Tech support. She (the tech support lady) said that ... it is not recommended for user to go through the BIOS upgrade! What? Then why post it on Lenovo.com? She also said that I should not have downloaded software from the internet and upgrade, especially for BIOS. Well, I told her that I did not download the program from ANY web-site, I downloaded it from LENOVO.com. She said further that looks like the BIOS update had damaged my mother-board, there is a problem with Win 8 & 8.1, and because it was my own doing ... the damage would not be covered by the warranty! Considering the circumstance, Lenovo would waiver the initial $99 fee to assess the damage, but I would have to pay for any repair costs. In any case, I was so fumed at Lenove Tech Support responses that I hung up. close my laptop and put it aside. Almost 24 hours later, when the battery drained completely, I connected the laptop to the charger, press the power button to turn it on ... and ... to my surprise, the laptop booted and everything came back normal! The last (7/25) auto restart seemed to go well. Not sure if the auto restart problem is fixed with the new BIOS, but it seems to be. Time will tell.

Thank you for your posting. I searched the net when I ran into the problem, but could not find any help. Obviously, my search was not exhaustive. I was trying to make the following: a. Lenov should be more specific in their BIOS update instruction. Their instruction was ... far ... far from reality. b. Lenovo tech assistance was ... not much help. After listening to the description of my prolem, the tech lady immediately said that the operation must have damaged the mother-board, and that the operation is not ... recommended. No guidance on draining the battery a or how to restart the machine, etc... What I received was confusing that caused more panic! As a note, I had done BIOS upgrade on DELL PC/laptop before w/o any problem. I fully understand the implication of a BIOS upgrade, but trusted that manufacturer fully tested whatever that they post in their web-site. Oh well, live ... and learn! All in all, the Yoga 2 Pro is a great machine and I love it! Hope that anyone who runs into the same problem will be able to get the needed help in time! Cheers,

BIOS update for Satellite Pro 4600

Hello everybody,
I am trying update the bios and i have followed the instructions, but I don't know what is wrong.

2.-unzip the filed in a floppy nonbootable.
3.- reboot the computer with the floppy in.
4.- press f12 while boot.
5.- nothing happend, the system ask me remove the floppy but nothing is updated.
Thanks for your help.

Hi
I found this Toshiba BIOS update instruction for this notebook series:
1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a formatted floppy disk (please see note below regarding which type of disk to use).
2. Ensure the Notebook is connected to the mains.
3. Turn the Notebook off.
4. Turn the Notebook on with the F12 key. Keep the key pressed until a short beep can be heard.
5. The message "Ready for BIOS update. Place the BIOS update diskette in the drive and press any key when ready to proceed" will appear.
6. Place the diskette containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy disk drive and press any key. FDD access will begin.
7. When prompted by the message: "Please push the RESET switch (or turn AC power OFF/ON) to restart" remove the floppy disk and either press the RESET switch (if available) or turn the system off and back on to restart the Notebook.
But note; BIOS update is always risky! If your notebook runs ok, then the BIOS update is not really necessary!
greetings
