H55-GD65 update bios

Hi.
I tried to update bios from 1.3 to 1.5. Via live update I downloaded exe file. After running file I was asked to turn off all running programs. I turned off all, but one soft still looked as running. Name was 1. Start. After force turning off this item win7 shut down screen appeared. So I was not able to update firmware this way.
I tried another solution: I found ami bios flashing utility in live update directory. Run and chose 1.5 file and update was executed. But after updating bios to 1.5, i have problems.
1. ocgenie reduce auto overclocking my i5-660. Before updating I have 4200 MHz, now I have 3700 Mhz.
2. I have very slow starting windows 7 x64 ulti since bios 1.5. I have SSD OCZ Vertex 2 and booting to win lasted few seconds. Now its about 30 seconds. i don't know where is a problem, but start of win significantly increased.
Any idea where is a problem with OC and slow booting win? Could it be a result of my not standard updating bios?
Thx. very much for any solutions.
My PC:
MSI H55-GD-65
Intel I5-660
GAINWARD BLISS GTS250
ZEPPELIN 2x2GB
SSD OCZ vertex 2 60GB

Turn off OC Genie, disable it in BIOS and then manually OC in BIOS.
 Why did you update BIOS in the first place? If you didn't have any problem that needed update then go back to the older one. Just because there is is a newer BIOS does not mean you need to use it. Updated BIOS is to fix particular problems or most of the time update for latest CPU's. If neither applies to you then you should not have flashed the later BIOS.
 Edit: Mine came with 1.0 and I needed to flash 1.2 to cure memory compatibility issue and have had no reason to flash any later BIOS than that.
Hi.
I wanted to upgrade firware on my SSD disk. Updating firmware can be done only in AHCI mode, I tried to switch from ide to ahci but NTLDR error appeared. So first I tried to update bios. (still ahci mode doesn't work in win7 ultimate x64, every sopution I found doesn't work).
Manual OC - I could manually OC, but I'm not very skilled in oc, so that's why I bought msi mainboard with ocgenie. Maybe I downgrade firmware back to 1.3.

  • Have MSI p67 GD65 - update bios to 1.7 help.

    Hi there,
    I want to update my bios to 1.7.
    When I search on the site I don't see 1.7, only 1.6. Where are people getting 1.7? Also, I hear there's something else you need to download as well? Something about IME?
    Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
    Also, is it required to clear cmos? I have to take the case apart right?
    Thanks.

    and now my whole system is non-functional
    what an update!
    when booting i can use the keyboard to get into the BIOS/EFI settings
    but as soon as windows 8 x64 starts all USB connections are disconnected.
    any suggestions on the settings that i have to have to enable windows 8 to function again?

  • Will Z87 GD65 Gaming boot with 4790k in order to update BIOS?

    So, I have a Z87 GD65 Gaming motherboard.
    I was planning on buying a 4770k cpu, but changed my mind to 4790k. The motherboards supports 4790k in the last release of BIOS.
    Do i have to buy a supported CPU (or send to a local store) to update BIOS or can I boot directy with the 4790k and update?
    Thanks.

    board needs to be at least at bios 1.9 to even post with a Haswell refresh cpu. While 4790K is officially supported with the later bios 1.A it should at least post with 1.9. Therefor a boar manufactured before 2014-02-24 will not work out of the box with a 4790K and a supported Haswell cpu to flash or update by a shop will be needed to use the cpu.

  • Z87-GD65 - Need help updating BIOS, might've bricked

    I recently tried to flash/update my motherboard and I think I might've bricked it. Could somebody confirm and tell me what I should do?
    I have the MSI Z87-GD65 Motherboard with an Intel i5 4690k.
    My BIOS was an older version and I needed to update to support Haswell refresh. This is what happened:
    I downloaded the latest BIOS update from the MSI website, extracted the files to a USB. I plugged that in and updated the BIOS through the MFLASH feature in the MSI BIOS. I updated the MSI BIOS & ME with the USB and I think the updating got to around 30-40% before the screen went black then after a little bit I got back to the BIOS menu. I checked the version and confirmed that the BIOS was updated to the latest version.
    Thereafter I restarted my computer a few times and noticed that it took a little longer for the system to get to the prompt to enter "DEL" to get to BIOS compared to the first time when I booted my computer. Everything else seemed fine so I went ahead and turned off the computer again and removed the USB and replaced it with another USB to install Windows. Then as the computer booted I see an screen that shows the BIOS and ME is updating from 30%-100% then my screen went black. Now when I turn on the computer it remains black but the system powers on/fans work.
    I looked up several sources to make sure I was flashing the MOBO correctly and I followed all the directions I found through MSI.
    I pretty much followed the instructions here exactly:
    Also I think my motherboard comes with a back-up BIOS. Is that a viable option to switch to? Are there any difference, how does it work? Also would resetting the CMOS do anything? I've been trying to figure out how I can fix the problem without having to RMA but was hoping to get some more knowledgeable advice before doing anything.
    Thanks!

    1. Could you elaborate on step D? How do I make sure legacy USB is enabled?
    Enter bios -> Integrated periphals and check the USB settings.
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    2. In step F, do I have to flip the switch to BIOS B on my motherboard then boot the computer with the USB plugged in?
    You should already be at the working bios (b) so there should be no need for switching. But of course boot from the good bios.
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    3. Step G: How do I switch back to the bad BIOS without restart/powering down? Do I flip the switch on the motherboard to BIOS A while the computer is still on?
    Yes, you switch to the bad bios WITHOUT restarting or turning off while the machine is running.
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    4. Step H: Will the directions be on a prompter once I switch to the bad BIOS or are there some directions online I'm missing?
    Once you switched nothing will change for you. You will have the options from the MSI USB tool youbooted from the stick we prepared earlier. There you select the number of the flash option
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    Thank you so much!
    I have a few clarification questions.. just for reference this is all for a new PC I just built and doesn't have any OS installed:
    5. Step I: What exactly is the ME drivers? When I originally tried to flash the drive there were two options: Update BIOS and Update BIOS & Me. So after I flash the 1B BIOS, I install windows as normal then once I get to the desktop I install the ME drivers in the link, right?
    Right. What comes with the bios is the ME firmware (hardware level) but in Windows you also need to install the driver (software level). Therefor you install the driver linked after all went fine and you are back in Windows.

  • H55-gd65 w/ 5870

    i have msi h55-gd65 w/ core i5 750 and 5870's
    but my proc cant reach 3.2ghz in intel turbo boost is enable.
    is there a bottle or any settings can help?
    my bios on default settings
    thanks

    Since you said your bios is on default, I guess you did not overclock.
    With turbo boost, the i5 750 can only reach 3.2 ghz (24*133) if only one core is under load.
    I however remember having this problem also with only one core loaded, I believe it went away after a bios update, but I didn't really test it, as I prefer
    having turbo boost off.

  • Can H55-GD65 MB use any newer CPU than 1st generation?

    I am trying to find out what the H55-GD65 board can use for a processor? I see the list only has 1st generation i3, i5 or i7 chips and am wondering if this board can use anything newer? I also looked at the bios updates and they do not say whether they updated the list or not. It seems that you can only use a Clarkdale chip from the 1st generation chips, is this true?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

    No, it is not possible. Only the ones and the BIOS versions to support them as listed in the link.

  • Z77A-GD65 Multiple BIOS Issues - B4 Hang, Splash Screen Blinking

    Back in November 2012, I built a home server with a Z77A-GD65.  Lately, I've noticed some strange things happening that I've been trying to research but to no avail.
    First off, I get the B4 code hang-up whenever I'm booting.  This doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot, it hangs on B4 for about 10-15 seconds, flashes 92 really quick, and then goes to A2 which it stays for another 5 or so seconds.  After that I get the MSI splash screen for about 1 second, then it blinks 5 times.  After that it goes into Windows just fine.
    The blinking is a new issue, the B4 hang is not.  I've read from multiple posts that this is a USB issue.  When I disable USB legacy support, the issue goes away, but of course then I can't have legacy support.  I have yet to figure out what exact device is causing it.  In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated BIOS to A.A0.  After updating to this version of BIOS the splash screen blinks 5 times before going to the "Starting Windows" splash screen.  This is a more difficult issue to figure out why it's doing this because if you search for "BIOS" and "flash" or "flashes" or "flashing", you typically get results for flashing your BIOS.   Hence, why I'm using the term "blinking".  But even then I can't really find a solution out there.
    I also happened to see that the website for the Z77A-GD65 is showing a newer BIOS version, but I'm unable to flash this (at least using M-Flash).  I threw it on a USB, re-enabled USB legacy and whenever I click on it to install, the BIOS screen hard locks.  The screen just freezes exactly where it's at in the BIOS and the mouse is dead.  However, I can CTRL+ALT+DEL on the keyboard and it will reboot the system so I don't need to power cycle the computer.  Not sure why this is happening either.  Perhaps I need to flash this a different way?  Maybe I don't need to flash this at all?
    I could really use some input here on why this is happening.
    As for the specs on my system, they're as follows:
    i7-3770K overclocked to 4.2 Ghz by using the Turbo Mode in BIOS
    32GB Komputerbay DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz DIMM with Low Profile Blue Heatspreaders Quad Channel RAM | 9-9-9-24 XMP ready
    AMD PowerColor 7870 Myst Edition GPU - currently not overclocked although overclocking this doesn't seem to affect any issues

    Probably a USB device problem.
    This is a candidate, as well as mouse and keyboard. Disconnect USB devices one at a time to find the culprit.
    A lot of devices running. PSU a +12V single rail or is it multi rail? A rail going to the graphics or components may not be enough amps. My best guess is the card reader.
    For UEFI/BIOS flashing, select your mainboard here and use the forum flash method;
    I'll definitely try unplugging some of these USB devices to see if that helps with the B4 hang issue.
    As for the PSU, according to the description for it on Newegg:  "Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output."  It has two rails going to the GPU.  The GPU is a new addition to the system and so I wasn't running it until recently.  The issues were occurring beforehand, but you're right that this PSU is underpowered for the rig considering PowerColor recommends a minimum of 500w.  I'm going to be buying a larger capacity one sometime in the very near future.  Any recommendations on good modular PSU's?  What's a good way to tell what wattage to get?
    Thanks for letting me know about the forum flash method.  I'll be back later when I have some results.

  • Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

    I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
    The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
    I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
    Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

  • OCZ Intel extreme on H55-GD65

    Hi, I have bought an MSI H55-GD65 motherboard, and with that the following sticks of RAM :
    OCZ Intel Extreme Edition XMP 4 Go (kit 2x 2 Go) DDR3-SDRAM PC3-10600 - OCZ3X1333LV4GK
    I would like to have your opinion on this choice. For instance, I would like to know if some manual configuration in the BIOS will be necessary.
    Thanks for reading.

    I also have the choice to buy a G.Skill ECO series (1.35V), since it is meant for an office computer which should be cool, low consuming and silent.
    However it has to be more stable than lightning quick, of course because it is office work, and no freeze should happen during works on important documents.

  • Tried to update BIOS Please help!!

    Hello i have a MSI mainboard Z68A-GD65 (G3)
    I was going to update BIOS what i did was download the update then i copied the file to a usb stick ran the file from the usb then it started updating and then it restarted to a text saying
    Warning!!! BIOS ME update....file not found. Please add file to your USB.
    Now i cant get to the BIOS or Windows. I have tried different USB:s with no luck. I tried to clear CMOS.
    Please help me!

    *MSI recommend you to update BIOS with ME8 only if you are using Ivy Bridge 22nm CPU.
    Sorry to say but it seams illogical. AFAIK it is impossible to flash form SB to IB bios using Ivy Bridge. Am I wrong?
    Going further... I can not find any positive reports that users can get working system by  changing cpu to Ivy after all those bad flashes. I see many suggestions to try it but I can not see any "success!" info. IMHO MSI flash procedure is just "somehow" unreliable. It is nice that MSI decided to support IB on older motherboards but we see too many bricks on our forum.
    My idea (wild guess) to avoid bricking is to flash with only one stick of memory.
    PS: IMHO Click Bios II attracts too much too many P67 users (like me)

  • MSI H55-GD65 X.M.P. support

    Hi
    I am currently running a core i3 on a MSI H55-GD65 with noname 4GB RAM @ 1333 Mhz in a dual channel configuration.I am planning to buy 2 x 4GB Vengeance LP CML8GX3M2A1600C9 1.5V @1600 Mhz.
    My questions are:
    1:Is my board X.M.P. compatible.
    2:If the sticks be running at 1333 MHz.What will I have to do to make it run at 1600 Mhz.
    my Sluggish memory benchmark :(
    Thanks

    If the X.M.P. setting doesn't show in your BIOS Cell Menu, the current RAM installed may not have X.M.P. profiles? The new Corsair's probably do have that profile, which in that case the setting will probably show in Cell Menu. For initial startup with the new RAM, only place one stick in the primary dimm slot. If all is well, add the second stick. The SPD Tab of CPUID's CPU-Z utility will show if there are X.M.P. profiles, and will show the timings to set if it is done manually.

  • Z77A-GD65 + GTX780Ti = BIOS error 99

    Posted this on someone elses thread, apologies:
    'Im having a similar problem, i have had a Z77a-GD65 with a GTX 670 windforce X3 card working for over a year, got the GTX 780Ti last night, removed the 670 and replaced with the 780Ti, all of a sudden getting error codes, removed all graphics cards getting error code 99, stripped down to no HDD, 1 stick of different RAM no graphics (except intel 3770K onboard graphics) and still cant get past error 99.
    I have tried and reset both CMOS, removed battery etc, makes no difference.
    I have a 600W PSU as recommended, has this combo fried my motherboard, as replacing my GTX670 now does not fix the problem, so Im really in trouble.  I only have a spare laptop so mo way to tyest any individual parts out.'
    The advice was to update BIOS, Im not sure how to do that if I cant boot the machine, any ideas?

    Unfortunately using onboard graphics also produces error code 99, its impossible to get to the BIOS, even with the MOBO on my desk with just CPU and RAM, still get error code 99 on the MOBO post code readout.  Is there any way to bypass error codes and get to BIOS?
    Something seemed fundamentally broken so I got a cheaper MSI Z77MA-G45, put it all together and everything works perfectly, even the GTX780Ti, perhaps my old MOBO just failed.  Im pretty disappointed though as it was only 18 months old.
