Failed vga bios update

I used the liveupdate 3 to update my vga bios and when it rebooted the computer the videocard wont work now. I flipped the twinbios to the safe mode but nothing happened. When i put my old card in it works fine. Any suggestions?

Nope, I don't think so, not on the Dongle unless MSI is doing something I do not know about.
The Jumper is located on the card itself, please refer to the manual for the location.
If you have flashed the wrong BIOS:
The MSI cards have a dual bios feature.
Move the jumper to 2'nd position (there is only one jumper on the cards).
Boot with the secondary bios
Move jumper back while system is up and running
Use live update again (the backup bios is not being overwritten since you moved the jumper back).

VGA BIOS UPDATE

I have a MS-8866 Geforce4 mx 440 card. I am wondering if there is a vga bios update available. I still have the one comes with the card(I think 07.00T)

I recently used the live update software that came with my card and it said i could use a new VGA bios. Cautiously i continued by the letter and now I have a computer with a G4MX440SE-T that doesn't work. If any one out there knows a fix I'll will forever be grateful!

Where is msi vga bios update for GF4 Ti cards?

It seems like many other card vendors are updating the bios on their GF4 cards for better performance. My friend got a nice performance boost on his winfast from a bios update. Everytime I search on MSI Live Update (I have to update Live Update...whats up with so many versions of a simple download utility) it says there are no vga bios updates for my GF4/4400. I read on these forums that .25 (I think) was a disaster and trashed everybodys cards. Is there news on an improved update?

Msi are going to be last, and then if they release new bios for G4Ti cards.
Don´t you now they suck, I would sell my card right now if I could.
I'm using Asus DVCR for TV because Wincoder with my version did not support full screen window.
I got fantastic stupid tips from MSI support, because my MSI-CLOCK and 3D!Turbo don't work. And it still not work with XP.
If I had 1$ for hour that i had spent to this card trying to let work right. I could get better card from other vendor. I will never get anything with MSI stamp. I'ts better to spent more money and save time for better thinks.

VGA Bios update problem

I keep getting the error "Can not find the VGA BIOS State." when ever I try to update the bios. I can't find any information about it anywhere either.

Do not try to update your VGA BIOS, it is not like a motherboard. Live Update has been known to render cards useless. Consider yourself lucky, you may have had a brush with death.
Take a look or do a search of this forum and you will see what I mean.

Stellite L40-14B Fail after BIOS Update 5.40-WIN

after I run .bat file from archive ( steb by step as in instruction) it says "plise wait" , but nothing happened. I'm wait about 5 minute and restart manualy and enter in BIOS version was 5.40. After it i turn off notebook and it not turning on. What can i do?

Unfortunately buddy... bad news... in your case something went wrong during the update procedure. BIOS update is always risky.
In my opinion you should contact the Toshiba ASP which is responsible for you county and should ask for the help...
As far as I know the guys could flash the ROM module again and tehn the notebook should run again.
Good luck

Z97 Gaming 7 failed A-BIOS update

Hello, first of all i would like to apologize for my terribly English...
I can`t boot my computer after "A bios" upgrade (v1.1 to v1.5) via M-Flash. "B bios" is working normally.
Now, if I boot computer with A bios it nothing shows on a monitor and HDD led is lights up constantly.
I tried to repair "A bios" using M-Flash/Select one file to update BIOS, but it did not help. I have got a message - "Bios file selected could only update BIOS and cannot update ME!! If you just want to update bios, please go to "Select one file to update BIOS" or select another Bios file with ME to use this function".
Question: where i can download - "bios file with ME"?
Then I tried to repair "A bios" using >> the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< . It still didn`t help.
Unfortunately I can`t attach a picture,but there it is written - "ROM file ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID" and then - "BIOS update FAILURE!!"
May be, with compatible bios version, it would have been more successful...
In sum... the A bios is not working and I don`t know what to do. Only hope for your help))

You need a special archive and follow the below to allow fpt flashing, else it won't work.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB from working bios B.
G.) Once it booted successfully switch to bios A without powering down or rebooting
H.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash bios A with 1.5
I.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip

VGA BIOS Updates

I wish that someone Would Get MSI to get rid of the video BIOS flashing with live update. From what I know it don't work never has and probably never will. alot like the active X and install from the WEB witch don't work for $hit.

Been telling them that for a long time but they tell me that most folks normally don't have problems and that it is user error. I see probably a couple of bad BIOS flashes for VGA in a month but I'll bet there are some going unreported or most aren't experiencing problems.
It's the inquisitive ones or the misinformed that end up shooting thier foot off.
Trust me, I'd like to see it go away too, but this is really not worth discussing as it doesn't seem to be a problem for them.
If you want to start a rant thread, about Live Update, then do it in AUS, maybe they will see it then.
No offense Boot but I am going to lock this one down, I got a bad feeling about this one.

What's with updating VGA bios? Is this necessary if your hardware is fine?

How much improvement does it do really? Does it make the images look better? Does the fps improve fignificantly, if at all? Does it make the card cooler? Some treat it like a wonder cure. Is it?

VGA BIOS update is only issued to address a particular issue, you should only update it if absolutely necessary!!
Updating your VGA BIOS won't make your card faster, run cooler, or make images look better. But if it goes wrong, it will make your card dead!

K8MM-V 7142 updated vga bios

i have a couple of system using k8mm-v board which has VIA/S3 UnichromePro IGP, recently we have upgraded most monitor to 17"/19" Wide screeen LCD, here the problem come, the onboard vga bios does not support those wxga resolution like 1440x900 or 1650x1024, google around found this is related to vga bios issue, not driver. i have updated those system to ver 1A bios, vga bios seems remain the unchanged. is there any service/beta bios available to fix this problem? tq.

these are only low end sempron powered (tats the whole point for all-in-one board) office station which only do basic office documents/spreadsheets work & internet browsing, nothing more nothing less. pretty no point buying new display card for this. even a 5 years old 845g onboard display driving the wide screen lcd without any problem (their vga bios updated with driver though).

GT60 Failed Bios Update

Hello,
I've tried to update the bios, but now when I turn on the computer, the screen is just black. How should I proceed?
Thanks,

If you can't boot up with BIOS screen or OS desktop, that means you failed the BIOS update and need to send this NB to repair.

Does MSI provide Bios Updates for 8800GTX?

Do they provide bios updates fpr the 8800GTX?

It's the same problem as 7 month ago. I'm not sure if i postet the problem here, so I describe it once more.
When I'm running bios 7.20 on my mainboard everything is fine (I'm running bios 7.20 for 7 month no with no problem, so the PSU (BeQuiet 550W) can't be the problem)). If I change the bios to a higher or a lower version my Windows XP looks like this:
http://img389.imageshack.us/img389/5262/041000011rv2.jpg
It doesn't matter if I reinstall VGA driver or use the windows standart one, it always looks like this.
Vista gives me a bluescreen bevor the Desktop shoud appear.
I knew to other guys who have the same Mainboard and also have a 8800GTX (ok, twice times other brand but the cards themselves should be equal). The only differnce is that they have a higher VGA-bios version, for example eVGA has Provides an VGA Bios update for the 8800GTX but they don't say what esspecially is fixed.
So far everything is fine, using bios 7.20 is ok for me, BUT I now want to buy an Intel Q6600 CPU and for that I need to upgrade at least to 7.50.
So Maybe MSI has a newer bios for their 8800GTX which solves the problem. I'm sure that it is nothing else. Windows has always been fresh installed, VGA driver is always the newest one (Did I say that the Windows VGA driver doesn't work to on XP?) and with bios 7.20 I have no problems, I can play, work, everything so I don't think it's a hardware fault.
The only differnce between my Mainboard + Graka and the Mainboard + Graka from my friends is the VGA-Bios version. So I thought this must be it.
I poorly can't try another 8800GTX at my mainboard because they won't give me her cards.

BIOS update for MSI NX7900GTO?

Hi-
I was having some stability problems in Linux with this card, so I wanted to check for a VGA BIOS update as I've never updated it.
The card model is NX7900GTO-T2D512E. According to the sticker, the BIOS is 5.71.22.39.13.
I couldn't find anything on the MSI site. Does anyone know if this is the latest BIOS for my card?
Thanks!
John

Like Bas said, never update a VGA bios, they dont need updating.
Its most likely a driver issue, NVidia isnt known for supporting Linux OS'es very well.
And Linux peeps cant tweak the driver since NVidia uses closed sources i.e. you cant tweak/write it like the code from Linux, so they are bound to have a few errors.
All you can try is different drivers and see if that resolves anything.
Look here for old/beta Linux drivers:

Bios update failed on MSI TI4200-T8X64 graphics adapter

during the installation procedure of a new desktop we proceeded the update of live update 2 to live update 3 -
afterwards we checked the availability of a new vga bios and tried to install it to the MSI TI4200-T8X64 graphics adapter of the desktop -
the installation failed and after the reboot the graphics adapter did show any results anymore -
so we had to insert a second vga card (pci) and swith to primary pci vga usage in the desktops bios -
so we are able to start windows, but we are not able to get a functional bios via live update 2 or 3.
where do we get a functional bios version and the flash-tool for our graphics adapter????
thanks for your quick help!

I think there should be a jumper on that card, I have the 4200 VTD128 8x model and there is a jumper with a green shunt. Look in the Bulletin at the top of this VGA forum, there are instructions on how to recover from a bad BIOS flash(If the jumper is present)
If not, Please give the number on the BIOS sticker, it should say for example:n8894MS100 something like that.
What is the part number in white silkscreen lettering on the fan side say?

G4Ti4200-TD Failed Bios Update

Using MSI Live Monitor, an update was offered for my vga card. Stupidly I accepted, and Live Update 3 soon produced a poor door stop when the update "Failed". After reading the manual regarding Twin Bios & moving jumpers, I soon found "MY" MSI card had no such dang thang!! 3 days ago I e-mailed MSI support, as well as today, but all I have received has been thier automatic responce, having me look for ansewers in all the wrong places. Since the eprom is wiped clean, Live Monitor can't find the card, Live Update is useless. I did read in a similar Forum post back in July, GlennVidia helped a guy with the same video card as I, get a down load to reflash his Vga Bios. I need the same, please help. My card :
G4Ti4200-TD MS 8870 Large ups # on back: G4ti4200-TD0210116850,
Small ups # 2A00290502, Green sticker on Bios chip: N8870 / MS110
Printed # on board: 8870 ver:10A

IT LIVES!!!!!!
Thank You Glenn for the download !!!!
All went well after a few quirks. Downloaded the compressed files onto my hard disk, unzipped the individual files to a clean floppy. I made a MS DOS Boot Disk floppy inside Win XP, and shut down the computer. I had been using an old PCI video card to see what I was doing. This Intel motherboard would only reconize the PCI card after setting Sys Bios to PCI Graphics, not AGP. I rebooted with the MS DOS Boot Disk from Win XP, and to my suprise I could not access the nvflash or any of the other files. Only after rebooting with an Win98se bootdisk could I access the Nvidia files.
I read somewhere in past fourm posts, about Nvidia flash utilities needing dos4gw to run. Win98 boot disk must have it, Win XP does not?! Anyway, I ran nvflash -f (Bios Filename) and more trouble!
Nvflash reported it was exiting do to "signal SIGSEGV error=0004" I figured the problem was the flash utility could not find a signal from the AGP card since the mob Bios was set to PCI Graphic. I had already known the AGP setting with a dead Bios AGP card would produce no video, so before I rebooted blind I practiced the key strokes.
Booted with Win98 Boot disk, Striking 3 (to tell startup not to load CD capablities)
inserted the floppy with nvflash and the Bios file, typed the proper file name and waited about 20 seconds. To my delite a beep was heard, and after restarting Win XP.... POOF!!! The card is reborn. Thanks again, I've learnrd my lesson about video Bios updates.

Satellite U400 - Bios update procedure failed

Now when the computer starts up all the lights come on and there is no display and then a long beep.
Any ideas on how i can fix this?
It's still under warenty
thanks
Michael

Hello
Sounds like that the BIOS update failed because the notebook doesnt start anymore
How can you fix this? Yourself you cant fix it I think because the ROM module must be reflashed or the mainboard must be exchanged but you can go to the nearest authorized service provider.
The technicians can check this and repair it. On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest ASP:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Find an authorized service provider
Good luck!!!
