GE70 2PE Bios upgrade issue

I am trying to upgrade my bios to the newest one that is on the website but I get the "efi security violation" msg every time! is there a solution to this?
I am also looking into a unlocked bios (donation is no biggy) but I still need to figure this out first before I get a unlocked bios so please help me.
edit: I have switch between windows 7 64bit to win8 to win8.1 as I have 3 different hard drives. but the main OS im using is the win7 64bit and is loaded into the system (running on samsung ssd)

appears to be correct
not sure why you have this error
you can flashing with alternatives by using attached file
and depend of OS from where you want to flash to execute:
FLASH.bat = dos
FLASH.nsh = uefi shell
FLASHWIN64.BAT = Win 64 bit

BIOS upgrade issue on my E50 with Linux

I see that there is a new version of BIOS/firmware for my E51 and I wanted to upgrade/flash it, but:
1. I don't have floppies (nor are they available in my neighbourhood)
2. The CD drive I got with my system stopped functioning right after a fortnight after my warranty expired and I did not bother to replace it since I use USB drives for flexible storage.
3. I am using Ubuntu and don't have a Windows license.
Now, how do I upgrade the firmware?
I can't burn it on a floppy (1. because there are not new floppys available and 2. even if I manage to get one old one, how do I transfer the f/w image onto it in Linux since only a .exe is given)
I can't burn it on a CD drive (cos' I don't have a CD drive at all)
What I could do?
If possible (and supported), I want to burn/install the ISO (provided by Lenovo) to my USB drive and boot the system using the USB drive and run the upgrade. But, there doesnt seem to be any way to do this. Lenovo neither mention anything nor gives a USB-install software.
What I tried:
I tried the usual software that install an ISO image to a USB drive, but that did not help. I never got to any screen that asks me if I want to upgrade.
Anyone knows any way out?
This is my last hope before I decide its enough and sit to write my own software. (:-))

Wow. Two days and not a single person knows what to do. Now, I know which brand of PC I should not buy. HP is way better, atleast they have a bios flash utility that can configure the bios upgrade to run off a pen drive.
Let me find my way out. Good day.

MSI 760GM-P23 (fx) bios upgrade issue

Hello every body
I just bought a gamer PC from an computer supplier.
Is has the following spec.
AMD FX 4170 / 4.2 GHz Processor - AM3+
MSI 760GM-P23 (FX) - Micro-ATX 3000 AM3+
8GB DDR3 1600MHz Kingston HyperX (1X8GB)
Nvidia GTX650 (2GB)
Kingston SSDNow - 2.5″ SATA-600 120GB
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 - 3.5″ SATA-600 1TB
Cooler Master Elite 430 - ATX Sort
Cooler Master GX Lite 600W - 120 mm
22x DVD/RW DL Sort SATA
I had Windows 7 and all drivers installed and unit was working fine. I then decided to use the MSI Live Updater to update all drivers etc.
In this process the bios was updated to v.17.13 and before the update the unit was running v.H.A
After bios update had finished updating in Windows, i rebooted the system and then i have not been able to boot to Windows or Windows install 7 since.
I have uploaded 2 videos to youtube so that you all can see what the issue is
Search youtube for these two videos.

I have tried to downgrade the bios, and i dont get any error when trying to do so, but after rebooting the system again, i see that the bios has NOT been downgraded.
Can somebody tell me what might be the issue?
I personally think it is the BIOS chip it self, that was up by the update and now is somehow looked and faulty.
HELP!!

Sounds like Live Update just claimed another casualty. Unless another forum user can come up with some more suggestions, it is most likely RMA time or a pc shop in your area that has an SPI flash programming device should be able to restore the BIOS chip for you.
Next time, for BIOS updates, please use the fourm's USB flash method.

[search] unlocked Bios for MSI GE70 2PE ApachePro

Hallo,
first, please excuse my bad english. I am new here.
I search a fully unlocked bios for the current bios version from the MSI GE70 2PE ApachePro notebook. For example, I want to change some fan settings to stop the fan in idle.
The official locked bios you can finde here: www . msi . com/support/nb/GE70_2PE_Apache_Pro.html#down-bios&Win8.1%2064
Big thanks for your help.

Hello svet,
i have sent you a little donation. Your work is probably more worth, but I am only a student and i hope maybe you can help me anyway. I dont know, "unlock" is maybe the wrong word. I want to use all features that have a normal bios too.
Can you help me with this problem?

GE70 2PE secondary monitor resolution issue

So I bought a MSi GE70 2PE yesterday and today I tried connecting it with my tv with HDMI, which has worked fine both with my stationary computer as well as other computers, using the same cable.
Today however when i plugged it into this laptop I got a low 1024 resolution on my tv and the settings for resolution wont allow me to change it to any higher and can't duplicate the screen and extention of screen isn't working properly either as all of my screen apparently can't fit into the 1024 resoltuion, trying to bypass this by changing the resolution while plugging in the HDMI cable the TV just turned black and no sound was transmitted with the HDMI cable.
As far as I can understand for some unknown reason the secondary monitor uses the intel integrated graphics card, I've update the drivers both for this and for the nvidia card.
As for updated drivers, yes all is updated and have tried the general common solutions, the computer was bought yesterday so having a hard time understanding how this can't work properly.
Thanks in advance for any solution.

Actually there is some more questions according to your post:
1. Does the notebook display normally when it's not connected to any external monitor?
2. Where did you change the resolution when you try to bypass the issue? In Intel's graphics properties? or on TV?
3. How did you set the duplicate mode? by using Fn+F2 or WIN+P?

BIOS update under RAID0 - MSI GE70 2PE Apacho Pro

Hi
I've seen a BIOS update in this site:
w ww.msi.com/support/nb/GE70-2PE-Apache-Pro.html#down-bios&Win8.1%2064
Version E1759IMS.526
I have an older version dated as May.
The last time I updated the BIOS I had to do a factory restore from recovery DVD's and lost all my data because the RAID0 setup disappeared (I have two 128 GB SSD HDD's set on a RAID0 array), no matter if I entered the BIOS and changed the thing back to RAID0, it wouldn't recognize any existing RAID0 setup.
a) What steps do I have to follow to update the bios without any problems/recovery etc. from the UEFI bios upadte feature? (if it's possible?
b) Why if I use Live Update 6, it won't show the BIOS update available?
Thanks in advance, cheers.

Hello guys,
- Just use UEFI BIOS update to securely update your BIOS. It will check if you are using the right BIOS file, so that's why I'm saying "securely". Follow the instruction on the screen to choose the BIOS file and it will automatically update it. After the updating, do a power off/on cycle and it's done.
- Updating BIOS won't destroy the RAID information.
- Live Update 6 is the utility for MSI "MAINBOARD", not for MSI "LAPTOP".

GE70-2PE disable intel GPU(unlocked BIOS?)

Hello,
I'd like to ask for an unlocked BIOS for GE70 2PE-082XCZK, current BIOS: E1759IMS.52A
My goal is to disable the integrated intel GPU in BIOS as when I disable it via windows device management it seems to disable both GPU's and runs on some sort of phantom GPU(Aero off, games wont run, Afterburner shows GPU1 - (nothing) GPU2 - (nothing))
Thanks in advance

intel gpu can't be disabled
without it you can't see anything on the screen

GE70 2PE - Issue with an external monitor

Hello there,
First of all I want to apologize for my english language, since Iam from non-English speaking country.
Few days ago I just got new MSI Laptot GE70-2PE series. Iam not so experienced with using a laptops at all, I was using a desktop pc whole time.
When I actualy tried to plug in my external monitor(via HDMI), nothin happened, not even a display flashed or anythin else and monitor just show that it got no signal. So I have tried almost everythin what I found on the internet and nothing work...
While I was trying to solve the problem I have disabled a driver for Intel HD graphic and then turned it back on(while I had still plugged monitor into laptop) and suddenly my external monitor get the signal and turned on. In my humble opinion something is wrong with driver for Intel HD graphic ?
If any1 could help me I would be really happy.
Thanks

Kind of looks like it's a problem with the Intel Driver by the looks of that thread..... I'm not sure there is much else we can do other than the workaround that you found and the ones posted in that thread.

Narra3 has same issue as M2N68-LA, which you fixed in bios upgrade, but Narra3 has no fix.

You made a bios upgrade for M2N68-LA which fixes black screen when coming out of sleeping.
M2N68-LA (Narra3) has the same problem, but there is no bios upgrade for that.
If you make it, as I think you should, please make a win 7 x64 version of the bios upgrade tool also.

HP, Please address this long-known problem. India support desk has advised checking the HP website for the BIOS upgrade for over a year now.
This bug has been very poorly addressed by HP. Keeps the power companies happy though, I suppose.
If HP does not improve addressing known bugs like this one, hello Mac.

Try uninstalling all USB hub devices from the device manager and reinstalling them again, particularly the keyboard's.

Help Please - X200 will not boot after Bios Upgrade - keeps asking for power on password

Hi there,
I am new to this forum and please let me say a big Thank You for your help in advance.
I am using a lenovo thinkpad x200 running windows vista with service pack 1.
The laptop has always been running fine and has never given me any issues. Unfortunately, all this came to an end yesterday when I ran the system assistant which did a round of updates and it prompted me to reflash my bios.
I did what was instructed and closed all open applications and after the laptop restarted, there was a noise from the harddisk (the sound was basically like what happens if the harddisk suddenly loses power). Then, all i got was a black screen, no harddisk acitvity with only the power cable LED and another LED (with the shape of a N tiled at 20 degrees) on.
I searched the forum and did what was suggested in this entry: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Blank-screen-after-Bios-Upgrade-on-X200/ta-p/29...
This is what I did so far"
I turned off the power, took out the backup battery and waited for about 30 minutes (repeated this step several times, also removing the harddisk) but to no avail.
I removed the RAM and tried booting and there was that characteristic beeping sound.
I replaced the RAM, redid the CMOS clearing, and now there is the Lenovo startup screen. However, there would be an error code 0271 (no date time) and 0251 (something about default configuration). Then, these disappear and all I am left with is the Bios Power On password prompt. Somehow no matter what I type nothing can be input into the field (and I did not create any password as far as I can remember).
I redid the clearing for the power on password by removing the backup battery as suggested at the bottom of this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-59377 but it is no use. Each time I restart, even if I press the blue Think Vantage button or F1 or F11, I still get the same 0271 and 0251 error messages and am left with the power on password prompt.
I am really desperate as I really like my lenovo x200 and there is important data on the laptop. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this. Its amazing how a simple update can turn into such a disaster. Now i know i should never upgrade or update my Bios (or at least proceed with extreme caution).
Anyone can provide some help to get my laptop workin again?
Thank you very much,
Mark

try reflashing your bios?

ProBook 4420s won't read DVDs, probable cause: BIOS upgrade (09-09-2011 F20). Audio CDs OK.

Hi, everybody.
ProBook 4420s is not recognizing DVD media. Drive is HP CDDVDW TS-L633N.
Recently ran HP Support Assistant to install most recent updates, and suspect the BIOS upgrade may be the cause. Now at version 68AHH F.20 09/09/2011.
It's not an operating system issue, for it no longer boots from bootable DVDs either.
Audio CDs are propperly recognized.
Running Windows 7 x64 w/SP1 + latest updates.
If not BIOS, I would suspect a hardware failure affecting the "DVD-related" components of the drive.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Mario

G50-30 System is unstable after BIOS upgrade

After installing Windows 7 I decided to upgrade BIOS and picked the proposed update for Windows 7 64bit (http://support.lenovo.com/uu/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-30-notebook-lenovo).
After applying the upgrade system boot failed. This issue was fixed using yapha7's advice (see this thread: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-B-and-G-Series-Notebooks/Lenovo-G50-30-Bios-update-crashed-installed-win-7/m-p/1693051#M32265).
Well, OS boots. But now I can draw violet lines on a viewport by pressing two mouse buttons simultaneously. WLAN breaks periodically, gets fixed by a reconnection. CPU consumption increases without any resorce-intensive task being launched. It iss understood that latter two issues might not be related to a BIOS upgrade. But they all appeared shortly after the upgrade.
Also it is not clear if I'm able to use USB 3.0?
The current BIOS version is A7CN47WW. Is it possible to rollback? Can you provide the original / any stable BIOS version (for Lenovo G50-30 Windows 7 x64) which is prior to the one available at the drivers download page? Thank you!

hi a_demenkov,
Just to check, have you considered reinstalling Win7 after you got the issues that you described after flashing the BIOs to v47?
If you're leaning towards downgrading to the BIOS to v45, try the following:
1. Boot into the BIOs and enable BIOS Back Flash.
- Sample image
2. The BIOS v45 download link is not listed but if you look at the the BIOS v47 file below, you should be able to get v45 by renaming:
BIOS v47
https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/a7cn47ww_64.exe
to
BIOS v45
https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/a7cn45ww_64.exe
If you're not able to flash the BIOS inside Windows then you may need to do it under DOS.

Goodluck!
