Dead MSI 4600 Ti - Killed by K7NG ILSR BIOS ?

Bios update via Live Update killed my MSI GF 4 4600              
Hya folks
I wrote about my problem in BIOS forum too, but I got no solution. So I ask you guys here if you could help me out.
This is what I did with my new K7NG ILSR mainboard:
1. Launched MSI Live Update
2. Made it search for a new bios for my mobo K7N2G ILSR (6570)
3. It found new ver. 1.2 bios
4. I downloaded it via Update & flashed using it in Windows XP Prof
5. Flash ended in error pop up saying 'error in flashing vga bios' & that should do this manually (windows & pc as whole worked ok at this point)
6. I reflashed using Live update & this time floppy & everything went ok!
7. Rebooted into Win XP Prof as adviced
8. But no go! My pc's D-Bracket indicates that there are problems occurring when 'initializing video interface'
9. As a result of flashing my MSI GF 4600 TI VDT works no more!
10. I took out the GF 4 4600 TI and switched to integrated graphics & it works fine (using it now)
My worried question is 'What happened to my gf4 4600 ti coz it works no more in my pc? I tested the GF 4 in another pc and it didn't work on thet either - so it really is dead!
I did everything by the book so to speak. My pc case was closed through all the process, short circuits are out of the question. I doubt this is a power supply or memory module related issue becays the pc worked on beefore the flashi process. I really think that Live Update somehow messed the bios of my MSI GF 4 4600 TI VDT.
My rig is as follows:
AMD 2600+
2*512 333mhz Apacer ddr-ram
MSI K7N2G ILSR mobo (now bios 1.2)
Enermax 350 W Power
Windows XP Prof
Help me out if you can!
1. Can I flash my MSI GF 4 4600 TI VDT with original bios for that card?
2. Where I could get the bios & flash utility needed?
3. How could I flash my GF 4 4600 TI (do I need a pci displayadater to do it?)
I really would appreciate help!
Best wishes, Tatu

I've been busting my head to find out what happened. I've cheched, double quadruple checked everything I did.
I can see no reason why a such thing should happen!
So I think it just was one of those weird coincidences: two separate thing happening at the same time & one  looks like the reason of another but is not.
I RMA my card! ;(
BTW - The mainboard (K7NG LISR) is great!
Best wishes, Tatu Heiskanen

  • MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR Bios v.7.6 ??When??

    Hello,
    I just asked myself when MSI is going to publish a new Bios Update above the 7.6 for the K7N2 Delta ILSR mainboard !!! I think it's time for a new Bios update, because of the few problems with this mainboard !!!!

    Quote
    He has confirmed the ports are present on the board....
    I have seen this in earlier Nf2 Pre Delta boards where it was there but if you had disabled it, and then flashed the BIOS, it would dissapear. The only way to get it back was to flash to an earlier version, make sure it is enabled, then you can flash to the latest.
    That is why I always clear the CMOS when starting a new build. You may have a board that may have been fiddled with, believe it or not, it does happen from time to time.
    Have you tried the Default BIOS Settings Option in the BIOS? Perhaps you loaded the Performance option and that is why it is hiding?
    this worked, thx a lot

  • MSI-Z87-G45 Killer networking problem

    MSI-Z87-G45 Killer networking problem, need help please!!!
    1st instahttps://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172016.0ll-  internet works- but when I tried to do the "test" in the control panel for KillerNetwork, it failed to load, it said that I needed to install flash. I closed out that window that popped up for running the speed test and got a message that says that in order for the killer networking to work correctly I must perform the "speed test". So I went and downloaded the latest version of "flash player". tried the test again and got the same results. How the heck can I do that if it doenst see that I have "flash" installed....Grrrrr  btw-Flash has been verified and works on the web page where that "test" resides if I go directly to the site, just not via this dialog box that the control panel uses.
    So I deleted the control panel and driver and reloaded them.
    Went to do the "speed test" and got a repeat of the above, so I left it alone and tried to play a game...the lag was horrible, the worst I have ever experienced - unplayable, so I guess that message about the speed test is 100% a must!!
    I have tried everything I can possible imagine, I even reinstalled windows and all the drivers again....still nothing works with this "speed test dialog box"....What to do??
    Thanks in advance-Rob

    Thanks I will try that, if not, it seems the adapter may have an issue beause the internet is jacked up on it right now.
    On that control panel program, I wonder why they wouldnt just program it to take you to the site via the browser and not try to keep it embedded inside that pop-up window<-------hey!!! that just gave me an idea- I wonder if the problem is that it is a type of "pop-up"!! Dang I will have to wait until tonight to try that - "enable pop-ups" ....never thought to try that since it wasnt inside the Chrome browser window itself...maybe its the fix!! "ummm" maybe!!! naaa it cant be that simple ...can it?? lol
    I realy hope it is, well either of these...that lan adapter was the whole reason I went with this MSI board!!

    it restarts as expected but it doesn't save it........and it continues saying no hard disk detected  low battery even though its connected to psu and say IDE....even though i have sata connectors......
    just as an extra, a small splat of water went on the board i simply wiped it away........(happened before first boot) would this by any chance affect the bios

  • MSI GTX 750 Ti with Motherboard Legacy BIOS

    I was wondering if I could run the MSI GTX 750 Ti with a Legacy BIOS. I recently purchased an EVGA GTX 750 and it is not compatible with my motherboards Legacy BIOS (had no idea before purchasing it). I know MSI's has a Dual BIOS switch on the card, so I was wondering if it would work?
    I have a pre-built HP system, the HP P7-1233w. I know the GTX 750 Ti has a TDP of 60w, my power supply is a 300w HP with two +12v rails. The +12va has 12a and the +12vb has 16a.
    So if anyone can tell me if the MSI GTX 750 Ti (specifically this card: MSI N750TI-2GD5/OC) will work with my Legacy BIOS Motherboard that would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!

    Quote
    What does the Dual BIOS switch do on the card? Does it relate to the motherboard BIOS, or no?
    No, it offers a legacy and UEFI/GOP vbios for Win8 feature support (fastboot/secureboot). If using a board with a legacy bios it is irrelevant what vbios is selected as both are supporting legacy mode (UEFI/GOP vbios is hybrid). Only for boards with a UEFI bios which is not GOP compliant using the legacy vbios is required.

  • Flashing of MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING failed and dual bios not helping, not sure why?

    Hi all
    For the first time in 20 years Ive had a firmware flash fail it seems.
    I have a MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING and updated the bios with the latest firmware via the "M-FLASH" utility within the systems bios.
    All seemed to have gone well, it flashed to 100% rebooted and then just a blank screen and a sequence of keyboard light flashes.
    After a minutes panic I thought not to worry, the motherboard has a dual bios.   So I powered down and switched the bios switch to bios B hoping it would assist and the problem is identical.
    Any tips anyone?

    I just tried this along with removing power from the main board and it seems one of the two did it!   thanks

  • MSI P67A-GD65 killed my USB drives

    I recently bought MSI P67A-GD65 and I am having a weird problem: I plugged my seagate usb drive and corsair voyager gt usb flash memory stick into usb 3 port on the motherboard and the stopped working (memory stick is dead and smells burned) and the drive is not recognized as proper usb device anymore - result both of them dead. As I recently used these usb devices only with my computer and a old laptop it looks pretty bad for msi motherboard.
    I have a power adapter with shortcut safety and a descent PSU chieftech GPS 650GB, I do not overclock, when I upgraded my PC I replaced motherboard, cpu, memory and graphic card the other components are the same (PSU etc) and I never had the same problem before
    No the questions:
    1. Did anyone else have the same problem?
    2. How can I diagnose it, I am going to replace my usb drives, but how can I be sure I can use them with my PC?
    3. If it is a msi's fault how can I get reimbursted for my damaged property?

     Why don't you provide the information asked for? So far all you have provided is model of motherboard and other information is so vague it's just about useless.
     Again read the >> Posting Guide << and provide required information.

  • [Solved] Network problems with MSI GX60 Destroyer, killer newtork LAN and wireless

    Hi, I bought a MSI GX60 Destroyer 2 weeks ago, and I realized that my internet was a little slow, you don't realize in the web but when downloading it doesn't perform how it should, I tested the speed now with wireless and I got 5 mb/s, and I have 20 mb/s in my house (I also tested with cellphones and other pc's), with LAN the speed was normal, so I saw some forums about the Killer network, I tried to change the drivers but nothing, the wireless is limited to 5 mb/s and now my LAN too.... please help, my phone has 4x better internet than my GAMING Laptop.
    Also the Atheros drivers are a pain in the ass it's really hard to remove them.
    I'm now with the drivers without the Management app.

    Hi Tzin,
    Which graphics driver are you using?
    The quick stream is installed on the notebook with the generic graphics driver from the AMD website.
    If you install the AMD's generic graphics driver, you'll find the quick stream program in your Uninstall programs window.(Control Panel> Uninstall a program)
    Hi hch , i only can find the "amd cystal manager " under the unintall a program , so when i click into in then only saw the device but dont see the quick stream .

  • MSI Z87 G65 Killer E2200 Ethernet Problems

    I'm currently having a lot of trouble with the Killer Ethernet system while trying to set up my internet. I built my computer with an MSI Z87 G65 motherboard that has "Killer Embeded Ethernet E2200" and downloaded the drivers for it. I also have a Rosewill WiFi adapter in order to pick up wireless internet.
    Now my problem is this: My computer will always pick up a wireless connection, but the wired connection will only work once I install the drivers. After any type of reset or reboot, the computer doesn't pick up the wireless connection anymore. Here's the situation in a nutshell:
    All the drivers have been updated to the current version for Windows 8
    The connection HAS worked in the past, but simultaneously seems to just not show itself
    The Wired connection WON'T be shown in the Network and Sharing Options of Windows if the computer doesn't recognize it being plugged in (when it really is)
    Disabling Wireless settings DOES NOT show the wireless connection (I've been able to connect to both Wired and Wireless before)
    The Wired connection seemed to be working for a few days until a Windows 8 update seemed to raise the problem again.
    And that's about it. Uninstalling and Reinstalling the drivers has worked in the past, but then there comes a time where Windows just "decides" that it doesn't want to recognize the connection anymore. I'm wondering if there is a more permanent fix or a way that I can see the wired connection in another way to connect directly to it. Thanks for your help!

    Killer network is 'killed' under windows 8, otherwise, borked!
    There are a few threads about it, mine being here:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=172930.0
    Gave up, and going to pick up a cheap network card today, one that will just work.
    I actually read through that same thread when I was still searching for answers. It's a shame that we have to resort to getting a new network card.  That's a huge disappointment. I'm going to try and go to Killer's chat support and figure it out this morning, but I probably will end up doing the same.  Thanks for your reply!

  • MSI Z87 Mpower Killer e2200 Connection problems

    Hi there, I've been having some major problems regarding the Bigfoot killer e2200 ethernet controller. I have loaded the latest drivers, but no matter what i do whenever i'm playing battlefield 4 i will lose my connection completely. I have set battlefield 4 to high priority in the killer network manager but nothing seems to help. After about 10 - 15 minutes of playing I lose the connection then it reconnects....
    I'm using a wired connection and have disabled the wireless on the board to eliminate that as the problem....
    Are there any drivers without the Killer Network manager.....
    This is driving me mad, I never had any problems at all regarding connection on my old gigabyte motherboad.

    Uninstall Killer software completely using >>Killer Cleaner<<. After reboot just install pure drivers you found: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=174229.0 (prior uninstall with cleaner is a must!)

  • MSI gt60 Bigfoot KIller 1202 problem

    Hi, I'm having an issue on my MSI gt60 and some help would be highly appreciated!
    Even after the installation of the drivers I can't connect either with the cable or in wifi
     (bluetooth seems to work fine).
     I had to make a clean windows 7 installation with a dvd that I already had.
     I have the Bigfoot Network Killer Wireless 1202 on my laptop and before it worked quite fine. It worked fine also in another clean windows 7 installation that i made few days ago,but not this time. What can I do?
     Thank you in advance, good day!

    I have heard about connection issues (Messenger, Game for Windows,  Itunes and other) with the onboard Killer E2200 Lan before.
    This was caused by an old Killer Network Manager version.
    The new Killer E2200 driver v6.1.0.395 should solve this.
    Download it here:
    http://www.killergaming.com/support/Downloads?category=3&model=123&download_type=1&os=7
    Also contains drivers for Killer Wireless 1202.
    Make sure you uninstall the old Killer driver and application before installing the new.

  • Dead MSI boardS

    I recently purchased 645 ultra, but went dead somehow (it wont power up). This is after 2mthns usage.  I purchased in USA (egghead.com) and now I am in Malaysia.  How can I get a replacement for this?
    Since I don’t know how to replace the dead board, I went for 845 Gmax.  To my surprise :O , the new board worked erratically.  Sometimes it powered up, sometimes not! ?(   After about 20 powerups, it went dead, the DLED suggested the on board FDD did not initialize and the boot up sequence was halted.    
    So, I returned the board to the shop where I purchased and got a new 845 Gmax after about 1 week.  I plug the new board, it powered up, but the DLED did not lit up.  I thought, oh well, at least it powered up.  I plug in all other accessories (HDD, etc cards) and eagerly waiting   my system to wake up again.  But, the board did not power up! 8o .  
    So, I paused for a while trying to figure out what is going on.  I read the manual (again) carefully; and I noted that somehow 845 GMAX is not compatible with some AGP cards.  I am using ATI All In Wonder 7500 64MB DDR.  This is a universal AGP 2x/4x card which is NOT listed as incompatible.  I pulled out the AGP card, and the board powered up!.   I used the onboard VGA and everything ran OK (except the dead DLED) and I was able to go into my WinXP.  I put the AGP card again, and the board wont power up again!
    So, there you go :O .  New motherboard, new version of ATI AGP card (that’s 7500 series), but MSI board wont accept it.  This is very disappointing and I surely cant accept it.  
    I wont plug the AGP card again, since the consequence is unpredictable (the first 845Gmax board was erratic until it went dead).  
    I want to use the AGP card, its mandatory since the multimedia feature is a must to me!.  
    So, I hope MSI will respond to this with grace and understand the patience that I have to bear with the above problems!

    Hiya, THanks for responding to my post and the helpful comment from Assaf.  Its rarely people do upgrade or read much about new development on power supply!
    The 845 GMax worked flawlessly (inc the DLED) after I bought the new power supply with the 4pin ATX 12v .  It shouldve been called SUPER ATX or something similar and the plug should be modified, so that we know it needs something new!
    The old ATX power supply worked on the 645 ultra initially, but failed later.  Same with the 845 GMax. 00 I plugged the new ATX power supply to the 645 ultra and it also powered up! :D .  So,  I have to retract my sarcasm in the first post   .  
    Thanks again and have a pleasant day! )
