CQ10-130CA BIOS F.02 wanted

I have a CQ10-130CA that shows a F.01 BIOS. I am looking for the F.02 BIOS BIN file NOT the sp*.exe file. See attached picture

Hi,
You can find it in the following link:
   http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-79675-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&...
and the file is:
   http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp46501-47000/sp46908.exe
Please note: You need to follow the instructions because in many cases upgrading BIOS can brick your machine.
Regards.

  • CQ10-130CA stuck at logo

    I have a CQ10-130CA which is stuck at the Compaq logo with F9 and F10 keys unresponsive after a battery rundown. The Escape key will very briefly show an AMIBIOS screen where i THINK I see CMOS checksum bad, but quickly returns to the post logo screen. Any suggestions ? 

    A bad hard drive can halt power up. Try removing the hard drive and then see if you can enter BIOS with F10 key.
    Not sure if your model has this capability, but read the tip on restoring BIOS here:

  • Compaq Mini CQ10-130ca manual bios recovery how ??

    The netbook is stuck at the Compaq logo with the F9 and F10 key message. I sometimes, rarely, manage to see the amibios page for a fraction of a second by pressing Escape; I read CMOS checksum bad. The RTC battery was checked: it still delivers 2.9V. I did manage ONCE to boot to the legacy F.01 BIOS and to do a full install of Win7 starter and updates on a blank HD. However this morning the pc refuses to post, as if the CMOS had cleared: I had set it up for a 10 sec countdown before boot but that does not show up any more. I think I need to flash the BIOS with afudos or amiflash, but the only file downloadable is an exe sp file. Any solutions?

    Sometimes the exe can be open with 7-zip and the BIOS bin or rom can be found.  Try it.  Then you may be able to flash the BIOS but do not count on it.

  • K7T 266 Pro2 - bad flash ,bios chip manufacturer wanted

    Hi, i've problem like many others, i've flashed my PRO2 Mother board with bios file of PRO2-A(the picture of PRO2 in msi site is bad, i've cooler on my northbridge and there isn't, but it's my mistake  ) now i want to reprogram it and i need know the name or type you know, of  that bios chip to reflash it with chip programer ,i can't see that name because after i unsticked the ami seal from chip, the text on chip have dissapeared  ,can somebody help me with this? The only which is possible to see is the manufacturer - maybe EON or smthng similarly i'm not sure,i need to know all that is on that chip, thanx for help saculcz

    Its probably just a bricked board. I suggest you phone your local PC shops and find out which one has a ISP programmer. That way they can flash the latest, or any BIOS version for that matter, onto the current BIOS chip, ensuite.  Here is an example of such a programmer http://www.xeltek.com/In-System-Programmers/SuperPro-IS01/
    Fry's Electronics in the US seems to be quite helpful from what I understand. That is of course if you are from the US.
    You can download the latest BIOS from the MSI site and take that along on a USB flash drive, and they will be able to flash it for you, at a fee of course, normally.
    Else you can search the web for companies that specialise in sending you ready flashed BIOS chips, which will of course cost money as well and means you have to solder it onto the board.
    Alternatively you can send the board to a MSI technical centre and they will also do the job.
    You will have to weigh up the costs and time effort and decide.

  • FLASH BIOS MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR ????????

    I am trying to flash the BIOS of my K7N2 Delta-ILSR board. I follwed all the instructions from the MSI Web but I can't get it going. I booted from Win ME & Win98 but could not get into C: drive. So I used Command Prompt from Window to get  into the C: drive and follwed the Flash Bios Procedures. I keep getting the message: AwdFlash No Support WinNT/2000/XP OS
    I got problem with the temp after I updated the BIOS. I wanted to flash it back to the old Bios. Please help me out
    Thank you
    My system:
    WinXP Pro
    MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR
    AMD 2500+

  • Z77A-GD65 Cannot boot from Bios A

    Hi,
    I was fine for years until about two weeks ago, when PC sometimes didn't boot up (no VGA signal, keyboard dead). I fixed the situation by trying to turn it on/off again few times and then it worked. Few days it was OK, and then it happened again. Fixed by the same way. Today, it happened again and I wasn't able to fix it.
    I checked LED error code and it was cycling about 5 codes like 49,55,4F, .. (see the attachment). I tried to check/remove all components with no success. I also tried CMOS clearing (connect pins, battery out), but still nothing.
    At the end, I tried to switch to Bios B and PC booted without any problem. I updated Bios B to the latest version and now I am fine. It also looks that problem is fixed.
    But what is wrong with Bios A? I want to fix it and use it, but I don't know how. I tried to update the bios with Msi forum hq usb flashing tool (booted from Bios B and then switched to Bios A before flashing), but it is still dead.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    I also had some sort of same problem (Bios A not booting, bios B OK)
    BUT remember one thing: that bios switch is not really hardware. To really switch between bioses you must unplug power cord, wait for capacitor to discharge and then flip the switch.
    So the sollution for you  (that worked for me twice) is: clear CMOS (search forum for detailed method). Switch to BIOS B, Make bootable USB with BIOS version 10.5 (A5) (because this version REALLY works with option to flash the other BIOS). Update (or just downgrade to BIOS 10.5) and then clear CMOS with powercord out and battery out. Boot from bios B and within bios flash BIOS A from BIOS B. You will have same version on both Bioses. After that switch to BIOS A (again after clear CMOS etc...) and now you just can upgrade to which bios version you want using the USB bootable stick.
    I now have BIOS A with version 10.11 (AB) and BIOS B with 10.5 (A5) just to restore BIOS A in case of failure.
    First time when I did this was because mobo failed to boot and can't save OC profiles. Second time was (probably) because of many OC testing.

  • User guide: MSI HQ USB BIOS Flash Tool

    Guide based on USB tool v1.17c
    HOW TO properly use the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool to update your BIOS
    This user guide provides a step-by-step explanation for properly using the >>MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool<< to prepare a USB Flash Drive for a safe BIOS-Flash in a pure DOS Environment. The tool itself will not perform the actual flashing operation.  It will "only" help you to get your USB Stick set up for an automated DOS flashing procedure which requires final confirmation.  (If you should run into any problems before you are prompted for final confirmation in DOS, no attempt to flash has been made yet and there is no danger of a bad flash.)
    NOTE: If you are having problems getting your USB device to boot correctly, you may need to format it correctly as the geometry data may be incorrect. You can do that by pickup option "Fix My USB key" from the Tool or by using >>> THIS <<< tool here! For future usage you can skip this step, it need to be done only once if your stick need adjustment.
    Symptoms that your USB key need a fix after booting from the USB key:
    * Error: "No bootable partition in table"
    * Blinking cursor in a top left corner and nothing happens
    * "RIVER2 MSI"
    * "Error loading operating system"
    * "Missing operating system"
    * "Disk in drive is not a bootable"
    * Booting from selected USB key is IGNORED, the other/typical OS continue to load as usual
    If still no change after using "Fix My USB key" Tool's option or HP Formatter Tool as alternative.
    Then try with different USB key, the issue is there.
    Note: Those USB keys who support "U3 Smart", this "feature" must be removed before proceed.
    Refer to followed link: http://u3.sandisk.com/launchpadremoval.htm
    Read the three notes that follow first before you move on:
    1. Note: Before you even think about flashing a different BIOS, be sure that your system is stable. If it is not stable, make it stable first. (Read >>here<<.)
    2. Note: Make sure your system meets the preconditions and system requirements mentioned below before you attempt to use the tool.
    3. Note: Do know that flashing your BIOS, be it with the help of the tool or otherwise, is done at your own risk.

    7. Version History
    0. Preconditions & System Requirements
    The main precondition for using the tool is a working & healthy Windows installation on the system that needs the BIOS flash.  The Tool is designed to work with MSI Retail Boards & Laptops only.
    Please note mainboards of other brands and OEM boards that are manufactured by MSI but sold by Medion, HP, NEC and others are not supported. If you have an OEM board that needs a BIOS update read this topic: >>OEM boards manufactured by MSI<<
    Supported Operating Systems: All current Windows Versions (32bit & 64bit, any service pack (SP)): Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.
    The second requirement is that you have a fully functional USB Flash Drive that uses the FAT file system (FAT/FAT32).  NTFS is not supported. If your USB Flash Drive is using the NTFS File System, reformat it to FAT or FAT32.
    As the tool also provides a Live Update Option ("SureHands"), you'll need a working internet connection if you want to choose this method. Not all boards are supported at this point.*
    * Check section 3.3 of this guide to see if your board is currently supported by the SureHands feature.
    1. Basic Description of Functionality
    The MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool will help you to easily prepare an USB flash drive for an automated BIOS flash in a pure DOS environment, which is the safest way to perform such a procedure. The tool will also allow you to run MemTest86+ in a pure DOS environment. However, the preparation of your USB Stick is done in Windows and basically includes two steps:
    (1) The device will be made bootable.
    (2) All necessary files (incl. BIOS file, actual flasher and MemTest86+ executable) and all DOS commands that are needed to flash/test memory will automatically be implemented.
    Because the tool does not reformat your USB Flash Drive*, no files that may currently be on the stick will be lost during the procedure.  Just make sure that there is still some free drive space, otherwise there will not be enough room for the files that are needed for BIOS Flashing.
    * Excluding the Geometry Change method which will destroy all data on the USB storage device.
    2. Installing/Starting the tool
    Treat the forum's USB Flashing Tool like a regular application.  Download it to and run it from your hard drive, there is no need to copy & start it from the USB Flash Drive that you want to use for flashing.  Both, the installer version and the stand-alone version, do precisely the same job.  Which of the two versions you use, is solely up to you and your preferences.  The stand-alone version can be started directly by clicking on the executable file.  The installer version will perform an installation and provide you with an entry in your start menu and a desktop shortcut to start the tool.
    When you start the tool a DOS box should open up to provide you with status messages and prompts.  Do not close that box unless you want to abort the preparation procedure!
    Please ensure that you connect the USB flash drive you wish to use before starting the Tool!
    NOTE: If you do not connect your USB storage device before starting the tool, or the tool doesn't detect it. You can still insert the drive letter, as the tool will continue as normal.
    The tool will first check, if an MSI mainboard is installed in your system and show you its model name and PCB Version in a message box. Click >OK< to continue to choose the tool's preparation method that you want to use to prepare your USB Flash Drive.
    3. Choosing a Preparation Method
    If your MSI Retail Board is properly detected and you have pressed the >OK< button in the message box, an option box will pop up that allows you to choose between three different operating modes.  The options you can choose from are more or less self-explanatory, however, read the detailed description if you are unsure how to proceed at this point:
    3.1. Method 1: Processing a BIOS Archive Directly (ZIP/RAR)
    Official MSI BIOS-Updates that can be downloaded from the product site of your board model do usually come as .ZIP or .RAR archives that contain the actual BIOS File and the corresponding AWARD or AMI flashing utility (depending on the BIOS Type of your board).  If you have downloaded such an archive, you should choose the first method from the option box. 
    You do not need to extract the files from the BIOS archive.  The tool will ask you to point it to the archive you downloaded and automatically extract the BIOS File and the AMI or AWARD flashing utility and put it them on your USB Flash Drive.  You don't have to worry about anything else.  All you have to do is to remember where you saved the ZIP or RAR file you downloaded:
    3.2. Method 2: Processing a BIOS File Directly
    If you do not have a ZIP or RAR archive that already contains a BIOS File and the proper flashing utitility, but only the plain unpacked BIOS File, choose the second Method from the option box.  In most cases BETA BIOS Files supplied by MSI Support or shared here in the Forum do not come with the proper flashing utility.  If the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool is told to process a plain BIOS File, it will automatically check the type of BIOS File (AMI or AWARD) and then select the proper flashing utility that needs to be used.  All you need to do is point the tool to the BIOS-File that is supposed to be flashed:
    3.3. Method 3: SureHands Live Update
    "SureHands Live Update" is the third operation method you can choose from the option box.  It provides a much safer and more reliable alternative to MSI Live Update as the actual BIOS Flash is performed in a pure DOS environment as well.  If you decide to use this option, you do not to supply the tool with a BIOS-Archive or a BIOS-File.
    Not all MSI Retail Boards are currently supported.  With every update of the USB Flashing Tool more boards will be added.  At present, you can use the "SureHands" Live Update method with the following boards only (the list will be updated regularly):

    P35 Neo3-F (MS-7395, PCB 1.0)
    After selecting "SureHands" from the option box, the tool will automatically check for all available official BIOS-Versions for your mainboard.  It will also look for the latest available BETA BIOS Version for you board and save that information in a TXT-File on your Desktop:
    Note: The SureHands option will not provide you with the latest BETA BIOS, it will only provide the information.
    When the tool is done scanning for official BIOS releases for your board, it will give you the possibility to manually choose the BIOS Version you want to flash.  SureHands Live Update will not automatically select the latest version and use it for flashing, it will give you the chance of choosing between all available official BIOS releases that are available:
    Note that the "May not exist" comment that appears behind some versions does not mean that the BIOS does not exist.  If you know the latest BIOS for your board is e.g. v1.8, SureHands will retrieve it even though there may be such a comment.  That message is part of a prediction feature that tries to determine future BIOS Releases.  If a BIOS version that was predicted by the SureHands feature is not available yet, the tool will tell you if it cannot retrieve the files and ask you to select an earlier version.
    3.4 Geometry Change
    If the tool fails to make your USB storage device bootable then you will need to use this mode. It will make your drive bootable, select it:
    Select your drive then let the tool do it's business.
    Once the process is complete, run the tool again via method 1, 2 or 3, restart your computer and try booting from the USB storage device again.
    NOTE: This method will destroy ALL data on the USB storage device!
    NOTE: This method is available in v1.17 and beyond.
    4. Selecting the USB Flash Drive for preparation
    When you have chosen one of the three methods from the option list and pointed the tool at the corresponding archive, BIOS File or selected the desired BIOS Version from the list in case you chose to use SureHands Live Update, the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing Tool will prompt you to enter the drive letter of the USB Flash Drive you want to use for flashing:
    Note that certain drive letters are reserved and will therefore not be accepted by the tool (currently A:, B: and C:). If you are sure you have connected an USB Flash Drive to the system that works properly but it does not appear in the table that appears in the DOS box, enter the corresponding drive letter anyway and see if the tool accepts it.  This can happen in rare cases, but it is usually no problem.
    The tool will check the selected drive and will provide you with status messages.  If everything is okay, the message should look like this:
    The tool will attempt to make the device bootable and automatically write all files that are needed for flashing to the drive to prepare it for flashing.  If the procedure was successful, you will get the following message in the DOS box:
    5. BIOS-Settings, Booting & Flashing
    If the Tool has prepared your drive for booting & flashing, no BIOS flash attempt has been made yet. Only the preparation process. In order to initiate the flashing procedure, you have to restart your system and make it boot from the USB Flash drive. Before you move on to do that, enter the BIOS Setup and check a few options:
    5.1. BIOS Settings to Check
    Check USB-related Options in BIOS:
    - USB Controller
    - USB 2.0 Controller
    - USB Legacy Support
    - USB Storage Support
    - Boot from other devices
    - etc.
    Not all of these options may be found in BIOS and the precise name may vary as well.  Just make sure you checked for such options and that they are enabled (if present).
    Another option you should check for is "Boot Sector Protection".  If such an option is present in your BIOS, make sure it is disabled because it may make a BIOS Flash impossible.
    @all Overclockers: In case your system is currently overclocked, make sure you roll back to default clock and voltage settings before you attempt to start the flashing procedure. Otherwise you increase the risk of an unsuccesful flash, and you most probably don't want something like that to happen.
    5.2. Booting from USB Flash Drive
    To boot from your USB drive you can either change the boot sequence in BIOS accordingly or just press F11 during POST* to get access to the BIOS Boot Menu.  From here, you can select you drive directly without having to adjust the boot sequence in BIOS.  Note that your USB Flash Drive may be listed as a hard drive (if you choose that entry you will get another list to choose from).
    * Not all mainboards use F11, for the boot menu. If F11 fails for you, please consult your manual for the correct key.
    Note: If you have problems booting from your drive, look at the FAQ-Section of this guide and see if any of the tips resolve the issue.
    5.3. Flashing Procedure/Running MemTest86+
    As soon as the system boots from the drive, DOS will be loaded and you will be displayed with two options. One option will start MemTest86+, the other will begin the flashing procedure. If no choice is made, MemTest86+ will automatically start.
    The flashing procedure will automatically be initiated from there.  You will see status messages on the screen that will supply you with information and also prompt you for final confirmation for the actual BIOS-Flash.  A backup of you current BIOS will automatically be saved to a file on the drive (backup.bin) before the flashing actually starts.  You do not need to enter any commands in DOS.  All you have to do is acknowledge the information on the screen by pressing a key.
    The flash itself will only take a couple of seconds (20-30s at the most).  If the flashing is successfully completed, shutdown the system and clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU.  Read the >>Clear CMOS Guide<< for further information. 
    After clearing CMOS you have completed the BIOS-Flash.

    User can check and compare information before and after the BIOS update
    Also usefull if didn't remember what was his original BIOS or EC versions before the update, Tool will auto store it there.
    And easy can be checked if needs. E.g Tool's log file of each Tool's execution, each report will include date and time as well.
    F.A.Q example:
    Q: I flashed BIOS on my notebook and now it doesn't work properly.. And i don't remember what was my old BIOS version.. What can i do?
    A: Take a look in MSIHQ_INFO.TXT at your desktop, there is auto recorded your detailed information about your notebook before the BIOS update.
    So you can easy find what was your original BIOS & EC versions.
    Is it OEM one or not, and the exact original BIOS & EC versions.
    So you can roll back easy or if crossflashing were done to reflash to correct versions.
    Example question:[this board now use 4.xx bios, but don't have time to make a new images.]
    It's just example, do not mean that this BIOS used in the example is bad. But generally often can need to roll back to older version.
    Or to use Sure Hands because[The BIOS is N/A for manual download, By SureHands no need to browse/search/download and point to the BIOS version, also eliminate any chances to pickup the wrong BIOS, and not at last its more quickly[save a time]]
    Q: I flashed my BIOS via MSI Live Update, but the new BIOS has an issues.
        How i can roll back to my old BIOS version?
        The MSI LiveUpdate can only update to the latest BIOS version, which is not good for me.
        And i can't download my old BIOS version manually... Because "This BIOS can only update via Live Update function"
        http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1739
        How i can re-flash to my original BIOS version and from where can i get it?
    A: Run >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<,
    then choose Mode 3 [Live Update{aka SureHands}]:

    Tool can find them immediately. By that way the Tool no need to be updated to be actual in each moment
    * Add new feature "True BIOS Version Ready"
    - Updated Mode 1
    - Updated Mode 2
    - Updated Mode 3
    Details:
    Q: What "True BIOS Version Ready" means? Does the Tool show the wrong BIOS version until now? 
    A: Of course not, the Tool always show accurate info.
    The same as CPU-Z/Everest of whatever other Tool.
    However Tool also detect EC-FW versions for notebooks:
    The "True BIOS Version Ready" Tool's feature is aimed to eliminate user's mass confusion about MSI BIOS versions.
    And not only users are confused, but MSI's Live Update is confused too... which confuse users even more..
    Few typical real examples of confusion:
    "K9A2 CF wont flash to Bios v. 1.A !!!" 
    Quote from: Fingon on 25-October-09, 16:53:15
    Hi MSI,
    I have a problem. I have bought a new processor: AMD Phenom II x545. I looked on the support page of my MB (MSI K9A2 CF) and there the CPU is supported from the bios version 1.A. So I wanted to flash the Bios the the newest version (1.A). I used the MSI live update 4 program to flash it via windows mode. But everytime it boots it writes "CMOS checksum BAD", then I hit F1 to Bios and I see the version of my BIOS fell to the oldest version 1.1. Then I tried to flash it thru Flash disc (with boot files) and dos mod. The result is the same. I can flash my MB to version 1.8 but when I try the 1.A it wont flash it and my Bios fell to the oldest version (1.1). I realised that the exe files in version 1.1-1.8 are the same (afud412.exe) but the exe file in 1.A is different (afud4310.exe).
    My questions are:
    1) How to flash my MB to the version 1.A ?
    2) Is version 1.A really needed for AMD Phenom II x545? I guess yes, because CPU was avaible in July 2009 and the bios 1.A went out in June 2009. I am able to flash it only to version 1.8 (december 2008).
    Thank you for any help!!
    EDIT: After reading this topic: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129204.0 I realised I have the VERSION 1 of this board (I purchased it right after the launch of the MB (November 2007). It means it doesnt support CPU over 95W, but my Phenpom II x545 has only 80W. I still cant update Bios to the 1.A version.
    So my third question is:
    3) Is the Bios update 1.A only for version 2 of this MB?
    Thx for replies!

    A CMOS Checksum error is normal and expected after a BIOS Flash and/or a CMOS Clear.  The fact that this message appears, shows, that there was actually something programmed to the chip.
    If you haven't done that yet, please clear CMOS with the main A/C power cable removed from your PSU and load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS Setup.
    The BIOS Version should be shown on the POST Status Screen and there should be a date behind it.  Please check the BIOS Date and write it down:
    Are you absolutely and entirely sure that what you see is "1.1" and not "1.10"?  Because v1.A0 is actually just the hexadecimal notation for v1."10" (one dot ten).  The hexadecimal notation is only used in the BIOS File Ending.  Once flashed, the BIOS will not identify itself in hexadecimal notation but in decimal code (which means you will never see "v1.A0" after the flash but "v1.10" instead.
    Here is a piece of well-meant advice for now and the future:  MSI Live Update should be avoided under all circumstances when it comes to BIOS Updates and/or information retrieval regarding your current BIOS Version.  Why?  Because this tool is stupid and one of there most risky applications for performing a BIOS Flash.  Please uninstall it completely.
    Why do I call it stupid?  I call it stupid because it does not differentiate between hexadecimal notation and decimal notation.  It will show you that "v1.A0" is available.  The it will flash it, if you allow it to do so.  Of course, a v1.A0 Version will always come out as "v1.10" (one dot ten).  When you re-run MSI Live Update it will not recognize that v1.A0=v1.10 and tell you again that there is a newer version available (1.A0, which, again, is the same as v1.10, which was just properly flashed).
    I believe that the update went just fine, that you are currently using v1.A0=v1.10 and that MSI Live Update is actually just creating a pseudo-problem which is currently confusing you.  The pseudo-problem will immediately be out of the world, if you uninstall MSI Live Update and rely on the BIOS ID String as it appears on the POST Status Screen (this includes the date shown there).
    If a BIOS Update should ever be necessary again, please make sure that you won't use MSI Live Update but >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< instead.

    Thank you for the quick reply!!
    Thats exactly what I have JUST found in this post by Svet: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=127672.msg974800#msg974800
    Yes it is 1.10 of course!! I didnt know that 1.10 = 1.A0 ! Thank you for the reply. Then the MSI live update 4 program is dump that he wanted from me another update of Bios.
    So thank you! Problem is solved. 
    Edit: Yes, because of MSI live update I learned how to flash bios via flash disc. :-) But I was still confused by that 1.10 and of course by program saying me I should update again.. :-P

    My computer does not have a floppy drive.  How do I update the BIOS?  (I tried the online utility 3 times.  It always updates the BIOS "successfully" and when I restart my PC, I have to do either F1 to config or F2 to load setup defaults.  So it looks like it's working, but the online update says that I have versions H.10 and version H.A0 is available (or maybe the other way around).  So either the BIOS is getting updated, but the online tool is not recognizing this or it's not getting updated.  Either way, I would like to manually flash it in DOS.  Is it safe to burn the setup files to CD and boot from CD into DOS?
    That's the same BIOS version... Just the "MSI Live Updater" is not very smart...
    H.A=H.10=17.A=17.10 [A=10, H=17], the last "0" suffix in H.A0 means its official version.

    So ignore this MSI Live Updater's no sense, and stop flashing your BIOS. You already have the latest version installed.
    The Tool now will detect and shows BIOS versions alias when the MSI BIOS version is known with more than one name.
    So no more flashing and flashing and flashing to the same version because of MSI LiveUpdate suggest again BIOS update...
    Also no more confusion:
    "What's my BIOS version?" -> I flashed my BIOS to 1.A0 [A7520IMS.1A0], but BIOS says its 1.10
    And MSI Live Update also says that i have 1.10 and 1.A0 is available and i should update it. I flashed it again, but its still 1.10?
    What's going on?
    Just run the MSIHQ USB Flash Tool and will show you all that you need to know
    Examples[with real/accurate info]:
    MSI Eclipse:
    BIOS version 1.9:
    BIOS version 1.10:[Tool now shows both BIOS versions alias]

     - In a failure case Tool perform auto flash recovery [3 attempts, check for success after each and stop flashing if successful] before give control to BK_IO2, notice users about results and give control for manual attempts[if need]. [This a case if system isn't lockup/reboot, if bad flash occur]
     - This mode also have own store up to 5 backups[+1, the last saved copy is always backup.bin, if there was older one they become backup1.bin .. till 5]
    * BIOS backup stored as AMIBOOT.ROM [AMI BIOS only] [Auto clean up older if there is any, before take a new backup to avoid recovery confusion]
    * BIOS backup detected and stored for M-Flash style boot/recovery [AMI BIOS only] [Auto clean up older if there is any, before take a new backup to avoid recovery confusion]

  • Two sticks RAM work again at 400MHZ with bios 1.9 on MS-7030!!

    OK this is kind of weird... After trying almost everything and and getting a lame answer from MSI about checking the recommended ram configurations from the manual, I thought what the hell and tried just the opposite! I tried the NOT recommended configuration and it worked!!! I put my two doublesided ram sticks in slots 2 and 3 (which according to the manual is limited to 333MHz) instead of slots 1 and 2 (which worked fine before the flash and is the combination according to MSI that should run at 400MHZ) and now it's working?! Memory runs at full speed and no problems!!!      ...So i guess MSI helped me after all but mabye not quite in the way they had in mind!! 
    Here's the old thread if you haven't been there: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=87869.msg629654#msg629654
    I've seen that a few more people have had the same problem so if you're still running 1.9 try this and let us know it this works for anyone else! Still the fact remains, this seems to be a weird bios.

    OK this is kind of weird... Still the fact remains, this seems to be a weird bios.
    Did you flash with liveupdate or flash with winflash and not tick all of the tickable boxes?  If the answer is yes, and you are having wierd behavior (like memory not being recognized in slot #1, etc.) then you should start investigating what bios you want to flash to.  Read threads and see what works for your exact mobo.  I don't have the same board so I cannot really make a recommendation.  Better yet, start a new thread saying, "What bios to use for MSI ______ ? your mobo complete model number and name)".  Then, once you have found a bios that you want, there are numerous threads on flashing and the right way to do it.  You won't be flashing until you are confident that you know what you are doing.  Lately, people are discouraging use of winflash (even with all boxes ticked), so if you are being conservative, there is a ton of information about how to flash from a floppy or floppy cd combination.  Take your time so you get it right.  The fact that your board is stable at this time cuts boths ways, i.e., you don't want to flash an unstable board, on the other hand if your board is working properly, is there a need to flash?  Since your machine is functional you are not under any immediate pressure. Good luck.   
    Edit- your questions about winflash are answered here:
     https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=84865.msg606175#msg606175
    Winflash is the easiest way to flash, but like I said, lately some people are discouraging it in favor of floppy or floppy cd combination.  I have used both recently, and still like winflash for ease of use.

    Dear Tripod Member,
      In order to guarantee a high-quality service on Tripod, we had to close your website http://members.lycos.co.uk/syar2003/ as it was found abusive. 
    Both HTTP and FTP access have been closed.
    Guess my rather large ISO , was what tipped them over .
    ==================================================
    07.16.05 (mm-dd-yy)
    ==================================================
    There are more and more people asking about how to flash bios outside windows from
    DOS without having a floppy drive .
    Well here is the solution .
    I Have compiled a ISO file that holds all the most used bioses for all the K8N Neo motherboards .
    The cd also includes the volkov commander (norton commander clone) for easy navigating .
    Click on the "MSI K8N NEO/FSR & Neo2-Neo4 Bioses" text over the platinum BMP picture to get to the directory listing.
    Go into the sub directory " ALL_BIOS_ISO " and download the ISO image for the bootable BIOS compilation CD " MS_CD5.iso " .
    Then burn the ISO with your favorite cd burning application.
    Again note the correct flash routine , clear PnP , clead cmos , clear dmi , and load defaults after flash , theese have become
    essensial to use with flashing to ther newer bioses for all boards and is even posted on MSI's bios pages.
    Flash with the command line
    AWFL859G.EXE 7100NMS.350 /py/sn/cc/cd/cp/f/e
    (change award flasher exe program and bios file as neccesary)
    After flash , turn off the PSU .
    Power on again , enter bios , and load bios defaults followed by a cmos exit with save .
    Note that this is just a service . I will take no responsiblitity of the outcome of the bios flashing .

    and overclocking reset message - loaded defaults .
    This with same settings as with 1.56.

    Official bios W7025NMS.140 (added 12.10.2004)
    This one has the same boot block as 1.51B but different from all others .
    ==================================================
    12.07.2004
    ==================================================
    Update of boot block is not always neccesary.
    Theese tables show with a letter the boot block version of each bios.
    The bat file includes a /wb switch which reprograms bootblock .
    If the flash goes wrong with boot block flashed and the boot block gets corrupted , no floppy rescue can be done.
    Then it's adviced only to use the /wb swich in the included bat file when neccesary.

    Only when flashing from one bios version to another bios version where boot block is different the /wb switch should be used .
    If boot block it's equal in the source and target bios the /wb switch can be dropped if this is prefered.

    Theese are tested by several users (including myself and work fine)

    First off get the BIOS version you want to flash:
    Take a look at syar2003's excellent collection!
    http://members.lycos.co.uk/syar2003/S754_neo_plat_bios/
    Download the BIOS version you want, extract the .zip and put the files on a bootable floppy. Syar2003 supplies a handy flash.bat file with "his" 1.55 that you can use. This saves you typing in all the command line switches listed in the quote below.
    After booting from floppy, copy the three files (AWFL833D.exe, flash.bat and W7030NMS.155) to a hardisk or the ramdrive that was just created by the bootdisk. I strongly advise against flashing directly from floppy!
    (Notice that you will need a FAT partition on your harddisk to be able to access it from "DOS".)
    Now follow syar2003's flash guide:
    Quote
    Remember :
    Enter bios and load optimized default + save/exit , before flashing .
    Do the flashing to 1.55 with AWFL833D W7030NMS.155 /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/f/r
    Enter bios and load optimized default , and save .Important .
    Boot once again after this without any changes/editing in bios to floppy prompt and let the dmi pool build and update itself.
    Then boot/edit bios set your individual bios preferences .
    Hope this will help you!
    Btw. When I flashed to 1.55 my NIC went dead in windows and I had no internet access. Make sure you have a official BIOS release at hand (on the same or other disk?) so that you can flash back to a version you trust...

  • Need bios passwordfo​r a hp mini 1010nr

    i got a hp mini  from my friend and he could not remember the bios password.
    i want to give this notebook to my son who is 6 years old for school.
    if you could help i would be so grateful
    This question was solved.

    Its more helpful to post the full model number of the computer instead.
    After the bios password has been entered wrong more than 3 times, it will give you a code that can be looked up.

  • Surface Pro 3 keeps rebooting itself into the BIOS

    I have a Surface Pro 3 running 8.1 Ent with the latest firmware / updates. It is a machine that I intend to use for testing so right now there is nothing on it other than the base image (Office 2013 / Adobe Reader X / Trend AV).
    Yesterday, while sitting at my desk, I noticed that it was suddenly at the BIOS screen. If I restarted from the BIOS screen, it would cycle, say Surface and then boot right back into the BIOS. Not wanting to spend a lot of time with it, I reimaged it and
    figured that should be good.
    Today, the machine did the same thing. If I power it completely down from the BIOS and then power it up again, I am able to get back into Windows, but it keeps shutting down and then booting into the BIOS at random intervals.
    Being that this isn't my primary machine, I haven't caught it happening. I've taken a quick spin through the event logs and I can find the kernel power events but thus far I don't see anything real relevant right before those events occurred.
    Frankly, I have too much to do to spend a lot of time troubleshooting one machine, but as we are looking to start deploying these in the future I figured I would reach out to see if anyone else had a similar experience or had any thoughts on what I could
    look for.
    Thanks in advance.

    I got the same problem today.  Solved it by pressing 'VolumeUp + Power' buttons at the same time.  Next time I rebooted, it booted normally to O/S instead of the BIOS.
    This button sequence is one technique how to enable access the BIOS screen.  I believe this button sequence acts as a "toggle" switch, instead of just a "momentary switch" or a once-only switch.  I think what happened to me
    is that I "toggled-on" this switch, and I kept rebooting to BIOS until I "toggled-off".
    This is different behaviour than what I'm accustomed to on PC's, where I have to hit F2 (or F12 or DEL) every time, if I want to access BIOS screen.

  • X79a-GD65 (8D) (MS-7760) - Problems after BIOS update

    Long story short, I updated my BIOS the above stated board and after updating found that the board would no longer boot, I followed the instructions provided on this site to recover the failed BIOS (switched to 2nd bios, booted, entered bios update, switched over to failed bios, updated bios with good bios file). This recovered the board/bios however the machine now prompts each time stating "Something has changed, press F1 to enter setup or F2 to accept defaults". If I enter the bios I find everything is configured as I set it, even try changing something simple and saving but still getting the prompt each time. I can switch over to the other BIOS but obviously want to address this issue.
    What do I need to do to get the BIOS fully restored/not prompting me every time?
    Thanks in advance,
