Flash bios and xp 1700

Hi I have a K7tpro2 board and I have recently flash the bios to support my new processor XP 1700, but the system only detects XP 1100. What could be the problem ?

I am sorry to tell you that your board does not support XP1700+.
K7T Pro2, VIA KT133 chipset right?

Downloaded and installed Flash Bios and for some reason an error occured, not computer wont boot!

http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=136412...
THeres what i downloaded, shortly after i tried to restart my comp but it was all frozen. I used the button to turn it off and when i turn it back on its all black. Nothing happens, it just sits there. What the ****? This is the biggest bull that has ever happened.
How can u download an update and now ur computer is useless? Any ideas? Thx.

I have a P105-S6024
I downloaded the Flash Bios
03-04-2009 BIOS
ACPI FLASH BIOS 4.70 for Satellite blah blah blah.
While it was working the install got frozen and my comp froze. So i turned it off with the button and it never came back on. Well the screen is black, the fan works, the icon that looks like a cake blinks and then turns off.
I dont understand. Toshiba said i might have to replace motherboard? WTF! Are you serious my computer was fine before this. I was just playing Killing Floor everything was going great and i decided to update some stuff. I really wish i didnt do this man, this is bull. I dont have the money to fix this right now if it is a motherboard problem.

Flash bios and vga questions

hi
i looked on the bios update page today and could see that there was some new bios.
bios v3.6 updates vga bios.
does anyone know the difference between the vga in bios v3.3 and bios v3.6
im using bios 3.5 and it works great so i dont want to flash it if its not necessary or it would improve gfx as i use onboard gfx.
bye

Raven,
Actually 3.7 is out and it seems to have (so far so good) fixed the boot problem with my ATI Radeon card. According to MSI it claims it is a fix for the 5900's. I had no trbl flashing as usual. If your machine is running fine and your not having any troubles why flash it, leave good enough alone. I know what you mean about not having a computer. I have a few backups because I don't want to be without one. I go on vacation, I have to bring my laptop to keep in touch. I remember when my life was so simple. )

MOVED: p965 neo msi flashing bios and running out of floppy space

I did't do that. I don't want to boot from the RAID. I want to boot from a single S-ATA Drive attached to ICH8. I just want to have the RAID available in Windows as second drive.
EDIT: I just tried that and moved the Bootable addon-card to the first position. But the Controller-BIOS still doesn't show.
Regards, Pioneer.
I read about this problem earlier. Some PCIe SATA raid controller did just boot on this mobo. I know that much that in the "hdd boot priority" he didint get any hdds to see from this controller and put option "bootable addon card" to first one. No boot.
He changed to pci contoller -> ok. Maybe pcie problem, maybe not.
I have been my self having problems with SCSI hardware. I got 3 cards, all designed to work with 32bit pci (2 actually 64bit, but support 32 too).
1) Adaptec 2100s, bad write performance unusable
2) Mylex Acceleraid 1100 even worse read peformance, unboottable from bios.
3) Atto U3LS works 100%, bad card :S
When I connect some scsi devices to these cards, mylex wont show any hdd in my bios.
Both adaptec and Atto shows in HDD boot priority like:
Att168 06 : IBM IC35.....
Ada162 02 : Maxtor Atlas 4k10_73wls
So I would guess that if you dont see any HDD's there from your card, you just cant boot from it.
Also if you get another raid contoller, i would suggest u to check somewhere someone claiming it works on this board.
For performance issues, refer to my thread, see last 2 posts some benchmark pictures.

Flashing bios + ME ofZ87-G45 Gaming Mainboard from 1.5 to the latest 1.9.

I have been reading and watching a lot of videos on the subject..including the general threads here.
So my understanding has become ... do not use liveupdate 6 (mine can't even tell what I have installed). M-flash is the official way to flash bios and it works well if you choose uefi + ME.
I want to flash my bios because my USB 3 front ports have always been flaky and hoping for a bit more system stability (4 cpu hardware corrected errors since put together system in march) and in ultra rare case system will become unresponsive. Plus, will have room to upgrade to new cpu in future.
I did not enable the overclocking in the bios, but it is enabled. From what I have read ..is it then true that I must disable this before flashing?
I have also downloaded the 1.9 bios for my Z87-G45 Gaming Mainboard and placed it on a USB 2.0 flash drive that must be plugged into a back usb 2.0 port (though mouse and keyboard are in the legacy ports).
My understanding is that I simply have to boot into the bios ...with the usb stick plugged in .. disable the overclocking and then choose upgrade uefi bios + ME. choose the file listed and wait. When it is flashed, it will reboot and then flash ME.
My question here is .. how will it flash ME? does the bios file also have the ME information?
And after the bios is successfully updated and set back to how it was set before the flash ... the last step, I understand ..is to install the ME driver package ... I have the ME10 zip of 75 meg ready.
Do I understand this correctly ... other than needing to know how ME gets flashed from the one bios file (which is E7821IMS.190)?
Is there anything else I need to ask to make this update foolproof?
TIA for the help )

To make it foolproof follow the below, it will update bios and ME firmware. After flashing ME driver needs to be reinstalled in Windows too.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive (E7817IMS_660.rar.rar) 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
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip

Flash bios via Mflash utility...

I just updated my motherboards bios, gaming 5 mobo, using Mflash utility in msi, with flash drive,,, I have read the forums that says when choosing what bios to flash, I have to choose "flash BIOS and ME",,, I forgot if I did choose that option, but what if I happen to choose the other one that says " flash single file",,, my bios update is successful.. so what did I do wrong??? Know my motherboard just keeps on blinking, then will go off fast then turn on again..

You've already been told that your board is bricked.

Can't flash bios on DV6000 (DV6408nr) laptop.

Hi all,
I downloaded the current bios update from the HP site. When i try to flash the bios, the utility finishes all the steps then just sits on the last item > Flashing Bios and never really updates the bios. I waited almost 20 minutes then I just pulled the power plug and luckly, the computer rebooted.
Has anyone seen this problem before?

As a note, I'm running Windows 7 x64.
I'm trying to update to bios F.42 from F.3D.

What we need - a guide on how to flash bios, setup bios, and raid

Ok, a topic I see very often on many forums, and several times here, is the following; How to flash bios, how to setup the bios settings, and how to setup the raid array, and then setup the bios to boot from the raid array. Could we perhaps pull our heads togheter and write a detailed guide on these three topics, taking into account how to do it on the most used (commonly written about) MSI boards? and perhaps put as a sticky?
It would help many novice users trying to deal with these problems. I am willing to write on the subject of flashing bios on the MSI K8N SLI Platinum and how to install a Bios Saviour.

Well my problem was that i cant get my 3.2 Cpu to work so I have to use the 2.8 533mhz 512cache Cpu.....Ok so i got my windows installed then i went to the point till i got internet then i installed all the drivers and stuff from the disk then i ran Liveupdate3 and it did a few updates to it until i finally got to the 1.8 flash bios update so i put in floppy and did as instructed on the screen the comp restarts and the floppy boots then all those words came until i got to the point where it said Please remove the floppy and restart your computer so i removed the floppy and push restart on the computer......After i restarted the screen turned blank and nothing came on but the comp was still on. I would hear this beep sound every now and then.... Please Help Me! T :undecided:hanks!

just clear CMOS and rerun.

FX5900Nu: msi x gainward x Bios and why ppl flash their cards.

I have a gainward fx5900 1100 400/700 2.8ns 128 and I cut off some board tracks testing water cooling fittings (more like drunk friend nests board on top of cutting tools).
Anyway, it's the simplest fx5900Nu model from gainward.
I had to finish the tests with the cooler, so I went out and bought a "MSI SUPERIOR PRODUCT fx5900sp vdt256".
I also have an old MSIti4600 4x and its a totally awsome board, so I though the SP would be great too. It's also has similar clock/mem specs 2.8 as the gainward, exept for the memory size. Before bothering to dismantle the huge cooler from the Msi I ran tests so I could compare both boards "stock cooled".
I tested both with 56.55 and these are my "results":
With the gainward I was able to IN AN EASY WAY to find ZILLIONS OF BIOS FILES, and they are nice ppl too, they write a little bat file so all u have to do to flash the bios is SIMPLY type : flash -> enter and it's done . If you try to flash to a diferent model they prompt you to confirm..DoNe...u dont have to D.O.S. your way into Nvflash wich is also a dread to less experienced users. (I wont even mention my feelings about Msi's "live update" feature)
Boot a floppy, type "flash", Boot.
30 seconds later I'm back into windows with the new bios.
I flashed 2 5950U , 2 5900U and FIVE 5900Nu bios files thus finding the best set for my card (one of the 5 5900nu testeds) increasing the card's performance at least 20~30% default AND overclocked.
Getting scores like 55k Aniso off/50k Aniso on Aquamark, 6,8k Fm2k3 , 19k 3dm2001se...etc just from changing bios was great, that stock cooled with Agp4x on a 533 p4 3.06 @ 3.6 512 + rambus 1250mhz almost 2 year old setup.
Similar performance with temperature drops were obtained using both 5950 roms, but overall 2 of the bios writen for Nu's were absolutely perfect.
I could EASILY take it from the original 400/700 to 510/970 benching @ 507/960 without artifacts and rock solid, even with the crappy stock aluminum cooler (wich is the reason for the watercooler, that board DESERVES a Watercooling kit.).
Msi Superior Product:
Now I just finished "testing" the Msi's SP :
- Could not raise the memory past 820 without artifacts and didn't even test that for too long.
- The core would quit @ 470~480, even with the bios flashed @ 5950 and now i can't even use that bios becose the memory (go back to default bug) resets to 950 and doesn't even hold long enough to be downed.
- The scores (@480/850) were ludicrous like 49k in aquamark no Aniso and 42k aniso on...and no, it wasn't performance-drop-for-being-too-overclocked.
I didn't even bothered runing other tests, doom3alpha had terrible locks and bugs (runs fine on the gainward @ maxfps 1024 going to 30 on the heaviest parts against 17 on the Msi)
- Why is it SO HARD to find Bios for Msi's Vga's????...my guess being becose they (Msi) simply don't make them...they do one or 2 (most likelly 1), and that's it. No further work is done to improve boards performance even though EVERY Nvidia enthusiast aways expect driver AND bios optimizations and improvements FREQUENTLY, and I think it's a real shame...Msi is falling behind while other companies are employing more resources into fine tunning and improving their current range of cards.
The reason of this post is that, as it never crossed my mind it would be hard to find Msi bios files, I never backed the original one and I need it urgently so I can flash the right bios for the Fx5900VTD256 and return the card with it's original features.
After reading about 20 posts begging for various bios (the ones asking for my model had no answers) and pll saying flat out " Why you wanna change your bios?? It's meaningless, not needed etc.." I decided to post these words on my experience on flashing bios, especially after the Dx9 paranoia and I mean..we all flash mobo's bios frequently...
Good bios files and good drivers are a card's soul, I do not care for extra Cd's and stuff I won't even take out off the box.
I care about good performance and hard working on tunning/feedback/updating and I aways thought since Msi had resources to give heaps of cd freebies (and I apreciate that too) it was becose it had the "tunning/updating" part covered.
I also would like to sugest that the all Bios files avaiable for all boards should be made publically avaiable, even if it hurts Msi's image for having less files than other manufactures. As consumers/enthusiasts we deserve to have easy access to all that can be used to improve our cards.
I apologise for my bad english, I'm from Brazil and I hope my post is constructive and sparks an effort on Msi towards improvement on the issues mentioned.
Other interesting fact I'd like to mention is thar Msi's SP has a HUGE cooling solution, on both sides, 1 fan each side for the aditional memory while Gainward's collers and sinks are basically aluminium "full cheapo mode" on, so I find it amazing that the Gainward card is so superior in performance.
So if some kind soul could post the Bios file for the FX5900SP VTD256 I'd aprecciate very much, I couldn't find it anywere in the web and tried the forum search too, but requests for the file haven't been answered and I really need this file so I can return the card as soon as possible or if there is more than one bios for this board I'd like to see if there is significant improvement. Both ones I tested (original and 5950) are plain very slow.

BIOS Flash Recovery and Boot Issues

Im sure that you've heard this a thousand times but you gonna have to hear it one more time. On my K8T Neo I Flashed BIOS 1.20 through LiveUpdate. When I went into the startup I entered the setup and it said that it was going to perform a flash recovery. I put what I thought was my flash recovery disc and went and took a shower and ate. When I got back 30 minutes later nothing had happened. So I restarted my computer and I got a boot error. I can still get to the setup screen but thats it. What do I need to do?

ok noob just get your floopy disk,then reboot as soon as u start to reboot put floopy in then bam let it flow but first go to bios by PRESSING DELETE keep press it intill the bios come on then look for loaad default bios hit enter then as it reboot do what i said above hope that doest cause it did for me

No signal after successful Bios and ME flash

Hi everyone,
I just build my first PC in about ten years deciding to get back into PC gaming but have encountered some problems.
My Build:
MSI Z87i-AC
Intel G3258
2 x 4GB HyperX Fury
Antec 550vp PSU
MSI Power OC gtx 670
After I completed the build all seemed well. It fired up no problem and before long i was installing the OS. However during OS installation after the computer restarted i had no signal to the monitor. I left it like that for about 20 mins then just turned it off. When I booted it back up I had no problems and Windows had installed successfully. Anyway, to cut it short. The computer worked absolutely fine If i shut it down or turned it off but if I manually reset or reset after installing programs etc there was no signal.
I found someone online with the exact same problem so I thought thats would be it sorted. Their solution, (from MSI Support was to update the BIOS and ME to support the Haswell refresh. After this the user's problem was resolved. So I followed the MSI instructions on how to update the BIOS and ME via Mflash and went ahead and done it. It didn't take long and the computer showed a message that the BIOS update was successful and would restart in five seconds.
After the restart it was straight to a no signal screen and no matter what I've tried this is how it remains. The Usb ports don't supply power to my keyboard or usb sticks either. I'm completely stuck!
I've tried switching the ram, using only one stick, a different PSU, with or without gpu etc but still just no signal.
Like I said everything worked great (apart from not being able to restart) before the BIOS update. I was on BIOS 1.5 originally and updated to 1.9.
Thanks for reading!

Ok so I've tried clearing the cmos how you suggested and still nothing... I also tried various other methods from the forums but still just no signal.
I'm completely stuck now as the only probably thing seems like the motherboard is dead I don't think any other hardware could be the problem as it worked fine until the bios flash.
Should i just RMA the board and go for something else?

Flashing the Bios and UEFI

Hello,
Should i flash my bios before switching to UEFI?
My bios is out of date by about a year. However, it seems like 'flashing your
bios' affects more then just your initial bootup and thus affects your system
regardless if you use a bios or uefi boot.
Second, the reason i'm interested in switching to UEFI is because i just ran
dmidecode and it said my motherboard supports UEFI. So does that mean that acer
(the vendor of my motherboard/laptop) has some instructions hardcoded somewhere on my
motherboard that will run for a UEFI startup like a BIOS startup?
I sound confused because i am confused...
Thank you!

IMHO, the prevalent use of the term "BIOS" to refer to all motherboard firmware is a source of confusion.
When IBM introduced its first PCs, the motherboard's firmware was called the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). Clones used reverse-engineered BIOSes, and over the years the basic structure of the BIOS has not changed, although it's grown to support new hardware and features. Still, it's remained very much a basic system.
Most PCs sold in the last two years, by contrast, use an entirely different type of firmware, the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) or its newer version, the Unified EFI (UEFI). The Wikipedia article sums it up:
Wikipedia wrote:UEFI is meant to replace the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) firmware interface, present in all IBM PC-compatible personal computers. In practice, most UEFI images provide legacy support for BIOS services.
In other words, EFI/UEFI is not a BIOS. It does provide a BIOS compatibility layer (known as the Compatibility Support Module, or CSM), but this is to the EFI as WINE or dosemu is to Linux -- it provides an emulation layer that enables it to run software intended for another environment. CSM doesn't make EFI a BIOS any more than WINE makes Linux Windows. There is one notable exception: Some very early EFI implementations are built atop BIOS; the EFI runs as, essentially, a BIOS-level program. Such computers have both a BIOS and an EFI. Most recent EFIs, though, are just that, and the only sense in which they have a BIOS is that the EFI has a CSM.
IMHO, much of the confusion over EFI is due to a misunderstanding of this relationship. People think that EFI is an advancement of BIOS technology and so they expect it to work like a BIOS, but this is fundamentally incorrect. EFI is very different from BIOS. To be sure, software developers try to make EFI seem familiar, as in a setup utility that's likely to be structured in the same way or boot loaders that look identical on both systems. Underneath the user interfaces, though, BIOS and EFI work very differently. (Many EFIs also sport flashier user interfaces than do most BIOSes, but this is just window dressing.)
Moving on to the question, if your vendor offers an update to your EFI, it's probably a good idea to use it. One of the problems with EFI is that it's both big and buggy. This has led to a lot of system-specific problems, because System X has bugs A, B, and C, whereas System Y has bugs C, D, and E, and System Z has bugs A, C, F, and G. An update might fix one or two of those bugs. OTOH, any firmware update is at least a little bit risky -- a power failure at an inopportune time or some other problem with flashing the firmware can brick the computer. You might therefore want to research your specific computer to learn if it has significant EFI problems. As a general rule, though, I tend to tentatively favor upgrading the firmware before attempting to install Linux in EFI mode.
The firmware (whether BIOS or EFI) is most important in the boot process. Assuming it boots correctly, upgrading the firmware is unlikely to affect the computer once it's running. (In the case of EFI, one possible exception is in how the efibootmgr tool works -- but that tool is used to control the boot process.)

X79A-GD65 (8D) - Flashing new and old BIOS??

Quirky...
On the said board, is it possible to upgrade the UEFI BIOS and downgrade it later using the same flashing routine? OR is this a strictly upgrade only system?

Quote from: HU16E on 23-March-12, 12:11:08
No it does not. Not with a normal MSI retail X79A-GD65(8D) mainboard. Each is it's own chip. Impossible, no, nada, zip, nein, no way no how are the two chips connected in any manner! UNLESS! The weird non-retail MSI mainboard you have has maybe been modded to allow it. IMO, that would be a grave mistake for it to flash both at the same time.
Thank you. I realized an i7-3920 won't boot with the stock bios, so I thought I'd flash one with a newer version and leave the other at stock... Hopefully I won't need a backup
