Flash Bios Update 1.60 Posted 9/21/09

Get it while it's still hot and fresh.

This one is a minor upgrade. 1.50 was the major change. I assume that 1.60 includes all of the improvements that were in 1.50 since 1.50 is no longer available.

Flash BIOS update ???

I was checking out lenovo.com/support and came across a "Flash BIOS update" download for my desktop (J115 7387).
Is this something everyone with a J115 7387 should install? What exactly does it do?
Thanks!
Ryan

you don't need to flash the bios, unless something on a hardware level is not up to scratch. The page that you can donwload the bios update, will tell you what the bios update will fix. If nothing is wrong don't fix it <- sometimes these update will give more problems then improvements.

System Update Flash BIOS Update "Did not install"

Twice now I have experienced a problem using TVSU to update BIOS (Versions 1.58.0.0 and 1.59.0.0) in my ThinkCentre M92p. Each time the BIOS installs, but the message in the TVSU System Update "View installation history" window shows the Status as "Did not install." What could be causing this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Support is clueless, understood.
where the version 1.58/1.59 comes from , I have no idea
Bios doc states:
9. You may see a POST error "0162: Setup data integrity check
   failure" after reboot. It is a normal behavior. Press F1 to
   enter BIOS Setup Utility. If you are using WIN8 64-bit OS,
   change the Exit->OS Optimized Defaults to "Enabled", otherwise,
   please change it to "Disabled". At last, press F10 to save
   your settings.
==
If you installed this standalone, which you should. Your will probably see a failure 0162 which is normal per documentation. If this a Fail condition, i dont know. My Bios is older.
==
I am amazed to see su offer a bios update. ( power goes out, battery dead on laptop). This is a very senstitive update. .....The reposistory stuff I posted is just to peruse, look for 1.58. This is the SU package( written in xml. ). Not the acutal update.
I extracted your Flash code. No 1.58 anywhere.
IE,
download package for SU to use.. <wax (xml)
then actual download of package. What you can download manualy is not the same software Su is given.
==
Hope this helps. ? aways. Dont worry about what .xml is.   Your system SU aint working right for bios.
==
Simpler:
SU is given a xml file (text), to process to determine if update is needed.
Then it downloads the update, if you choose to install it.
Your symptom shows 2 versions of BIOS 1.58/1.59 did not install.   Crazy.
==
Maybe it got thru the xml package, and installed. then 0162. It worked correctly, but posted WRONG on your SU history. Either or, what you see on your screen sucks. 1.58/1.59, etc.

X48C board from HELL can't flash bios -- board freezes on post -- help!

I am a pc builder who follows the sheep. I don't push limits or overclock.
Bought an x48C Platinum board because of its superb features. Shipped from Cali to Florida.
Resurrected an older case replaced old power supply with new 750w power supply - expensive - quiet and has the advanced board connectors (8 and 24 pin) Runs almost silently.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (3ghz)
Video: Asus Nvidia geforce 8600 card
RAM: SuperTalent, high quality dual channel ram, 2x 1mb for 1333 bus
Inserted the ram (as shown in manual) and added turbo cards...
Discconneted everything else inside the case. Just wanted to post to the bios.
Power On
1- system light ups, fan on CPU starts for two seconds -- then everything STOPS
2- a few seconds later, system awakens and starts again
3- system freezes on Microstar logo screen post
4- Turbo cards never light up
(sometimes the system quits and reboots -- forever -- or until I shut it down)
Read the support threads and saw my problem was NOT unique. Tried these variations.
One RAM mod - with and without turbo.
Tried usb mouse and keyboard - instead of ps2.
If I hit the TAB key the very moment I boot, I can see that my post will switch to dos -- and goes as far as identifying my ram, the cpu -- and a message about engaging the USB ports -- and that is where it freezes... or.. sometimes starts its reboot.
Thought it was the RAM --
Replaced Supertalent RAM with Kingston RAM -- that the configurator on their web site recommended for this specific board.
Still, same issue.
Tried downloading the flash drive bios solution. System freezes before the usb drive can engage. So, no, I cannot flash the bios.
I'm thinking MSI knows about the problem -- because the board has fallen 80 dollars in price and other competitor boards with the x48 chipset is still higher priced.
Any ideas other than calling Tech Support and chewing their ears off?

You can find the official CPU Support Liste here:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1393&maincat_no=1&orderby=cpu_name%20ASC#menu
It should show all the information you need.
If you want to go for a cheap processor just to update the BIOS, look for a supported Celeron processor (Celeron 420 / Conroe-L for example).
In case you have an internal floppy drive laying around, you can also try to force a BIOS Flash via the AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure:
http://www.msicomputer.com/support/BIOS_AMI_Recovery.asp
That does not work in all cases and not with all floppy drives.

P67A-GD65: failed BIOS update, no more post

Hi,
I had updated my P67A-GD65 (B3) to the new 4.3 BIOS, after using a much older one, based on the description for improved PCI-E performance. The experience was a nightmare though, and not only could I no longer overclock in the BIOS (nor the Control Center software), but my video card, a Radeon 7870, became highly unstable. I had backed up my BIOS before this, and proceeded to downgrade to it from the BIOS utility. It gave me a warning that the BIOS file was not for my motherboard, which i understandably ignored, since that was what it had been running before. Lo and behold, the machine will no longer post at all and I have just about thrown in the towel.
I did some searches here and cleared the CMOS via the jumper, and tried the recovery tips I saw regarding booting with the CTRL-Home keys pressed, but no sign of life at all. I live in Brazil, so sending this for tech support will mean some weeks and shipping abroad. Before I do that, does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

I Think MSI must advise all users that some procedure of flashing are dangerous, like "in Bios" and "in Windows".
MSI should simply remove from official site these flashing possibilities.
Perhaps I exaggerate, but it is not normal that the flashing procedure fails with official tools.
I think the fact their new BIOS is so problematic is a much worse issue than this failed flash problem that killed my computer. I did not mention that after all those problems I described with 4.3, I actually downgraded to 4.2 to see the exact same problem. It was at that point that I chose to move back to the older BIOS family which led to the present standstill.

M-Flash BIOS Update Failure on New But Working FM2-A75MA-E35 with AMD A4 5300

The BIOS had minor issues at the included rev. 1.2, so I downloaded 1.5 to update. From a FAT32 USB flash drive, the BIOS download file was selected and started programming. Then the monitor went black and that was the end. There is no response, and no video at all.
Looking around for help, I note that the msi site "bios-note" (which I am prevented from linking to) seems rather dated: I have another of these boards and have looked and looked, but I still do not know whether the BIOS is Award or AMI, and I have not had a floppy drive in a computer for a decade. Is recovery even possible without video? Now what do I do?

Thanks for your help.
OK and done on informative signature.
OK and done on clearing CMOS.

about recovery place desired BIOS file which you want to recover over USB key FAT/FAT32 formatted,
then turn on PC and press Ctrl+HOME
OK and done on Ctrl+HOME attempt: By observation, almost nothing happens.
Front power LED comes on, fans come on, DVD writer comes on, keyboard does have a brief reset, but USB devices show almost no activity at all, except for a tiny blip when power first comes on. Ctrl+HOME causes no apparent change.
What now?

Unrecognised system type error when trying to flash bios

Hey,
I need your help again.I just tried to update my bios (j100 8256g4g motherboard) from 42KT42AUS to 42KT47A.
When i boot the image it gives me the error : Unrecognised system type.The flash update cannot continue.Press ctrl+alt+del to restart.Thanks!

hi john12,
Just to verify, is your machine type included in the list below? If not, this is most likely the reason why the BIOS update won't continue.
Flash BIOS update - 3000 J100 (type 8252, 8253, 8254, 8453, 8454, 8455)
You can find the MTM (Machine Tpe Model) printed on the tower or by typing dxdiag on a command prompt / run dialog box.

Bios Update on R61 with Win 7

Hi! I'm trying to update the bios on a R61 7733 to the latest. But when I run the flash bios update or the bootable CD bios update they fail with a message flashable.rom not found or system program file not found. I found a log file WINUPTP.TXT that has the message "OS = Windows Vista Driver Loading....Driver Loading failed !"
Seeing as the OS is Win 7 Home Premium x64, how do I get past the driver loading for Vista?
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing issues while updating BIOS on your Thinkpad R61.
May I know which version of BIOS you are trying to update on your system?
Best regards,

No Bios Update for Satellite: L755D-S5204 / Inability to change Memory Settings in Bios

Ok so I bought two new 8GB of BLUE Kingston Hyperx 1600 MHZ Memory Modules with heat spreaders recently from newegg.
I installed them, and my system recognizes the full 8 GB, but when running CPU-Z the memory MHZ is registering in at 665.5 MHZ.
I want to be able to run my Memory at least the STANDARD minimum 1333 MHZ if not be able to change the MHZ if possible to 1600 MHZ. I CANNOT DO THIS WITH THE BIOS THAT CAME WITH MY SYSTEM, AND I CANNOT FIND A BIOS UPDATE ANYWHERE ON THE TOSHIBA SITE THAT WILL LET ME DO THIS.
My system Laptop Satellite L755D-S5204 has the basic Bios that came with the system. However I do not know or CAN NOT FIND any flash updates to update the bios so I can change these setting.
My question to Toshiba Tech support is it possible to clock my system memory higher, and how do I do this with a BIOS that doesn't let me make any changes to my Voltage to my Memory, and doesn't let me make any changes to system memory or memory timing settings??
When you figure that out and if you could possibly help me resolve this problem, please email me because as a computer technician I am really intrigued as to the reason why Toshiba doesn't have a FLASH BIOS UPDATE that will let you change the Memory settings, and Memory Timings!!
Thanks,
Michael Richins

BIOS does not provide such option!
I have no idea what graphic card you have but for example the Sat P850-138 was equipped with an NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M graphic card.
This GPU supports dedicated VRAM (default 2048MB)
The available graphics memory can be expanded using system memory, through TurboCache
In case the system memory would be expanded to 6GB RAM, the TurboCache technology could use up to 4,095 MB VRAM

MSI 770T-C45 won't post after flashing BIOS with M-FLASH

After flashing AMIBIOS 8.3 to v8.7 with M-FLASH via USB stick I can't get any post.
Had I read this forum before I wouldn't have done it, but here I am.
Fan starts, LEDs are off, no beeps at all, power button does nothing. Black screen.
After force flashing (yes, I am THAT stupid) the prompt said it would reboot in 5 seconds and after that nothing.
Here's my setup:
Board: MSI 770T-C45
Original Bios: v8.3
Flashed Bios: v8.7 (flashed with M-FLASH)
VGA: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
PSU: Enermax FMAII EG465AX-VE 460W
CPU: AMD Phenom x4 9650
MEM: Kingston DDR2-667 4x2GB KVR667D2N5/2G
HDD: SAMSUNG 840 SSD 250GB
OS: Windows 8 Pro 64bit
I tried every CMOS clearing method found in previous posts and threads (including this and this.)
1. Unplugged from power, waited 5 minutes, removed the battery (5mins), changed jumper position (5min), switched it back (5min), plugged it in (5min) and powered up with and without USB stick in the hub next to network hub with old BIOS (v8.3) inside. Pressed CTRL+HOME, anything, not a single message or beep or LED flashing.
Also I removed all RAMs and kept one in the first socket. Nothing.
I really don't know what to do next. What seems to differ from other users is LEDs non working, what does that mean?

The problem here is that after update 8.6 the m-flash module was updated, so yes your mobo is a brick, but there is still hope for it. I had the same situation a few days ago with the exact same model and was able to recover it by following the steps on listed on the below posts:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133578.0
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129989.0
It may seem complicated at first, but trust me its not at all.
Anyways you probably already have another mobo, send it for RMA or used it as frisbee, but it may come handy for some other doing the same noob flashing as we did

G530-4446-24U takes FOREVER to POST after BIOS update

Hey,
I just installed Win7 Pro 64-bit a couple of hours ago and lost the ability to adjust my screen brightness. After installing chipset and power management drivers I still had no luck. So I updated the BIOS with this file.
Now it all works well once I'm booted into Win7, but it takes a very long time to POST when I push the power button. I haven't timed it, but it seems to be over 60 seconds before I have anything displayed on my screen. When it does start POST, it works fine at the expected speed. It also restarts when attempting to wake from sleep, and the same problem as mentioned above applies as it must POST again.
Is there a more appropriate BIOS update for my machine, or is this a terrible bug that must be worked out?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I couldnt flash either from Windows 7 pro x64. I ended up using BartsPE to run the flashing program. I dont have the speed issue, it boots up with the same speed it always did. you should make sure you used the right BIOS. i had the problem once, but it seems to be working now. I still havent gotten the Brightness to work though.
as for the "Cannot load driver C:\Drivers\BIOS\6get18ww\PHLASHNT.SYS. Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator privilige, please login again! This driver has been blocked from loadingError code: 1275" message, this is because it uses a 32 bit driver. You cant use these drivers under 64 bit. my solution worked really well. if you want to use and need help configuring the PE, i can help.
