H61M-E33 (B3) BIOS update?

Hi guys,
I've just got hold of a GTX760 graphics card, but having a spot of bother with the fan not powering up as it should--it's been tried in another system and all is well so it's been suggested that I need a BIOS update for my own machine.
Is this correct, and if so which one?
System comprises of:
H61M-E33 motherboard
i5-2500K CPU
8 GB Kingston value RAM, 1333MHz (2x4GB modules as a pair)
850W XFX PSU
Thanks in advance for any help!

Sorry for the delay in replying chaps, things went a bit haywire at work.
Thanks for the BIOS link and instructions Svet; this updated well but unfortunately didn't resolve the issue--which now seems to NOT be a BIOS one anyway!
Chika; the problem is/was that the fan on the graphics card would only 'kick in' (if at all) when the card was already too hot, resulting in the system freezing. A friend from a few houses away offered to test the card in his system, I know he has a 970GPU but not what the CPU etc is, but his testing was actually flawed as I'd given him the impression that I could get no output at all from the card. All he did was try it, saw a decent image on his screen and concluded that the card was OK and that it could need the motherboard BIOS updating as he'd had to do this on his machine.
The cooling afforded by my case seems to have been sufficient to keep the temperatures within the safe zone for *normal* uses, but not for anything such as playing a game to put the card under stress.
Whilst all this was happening I'd contacted the cards manufacturer who replied saying that it shouldn't need a BIOS revision and that the card itself was most likely faulty and started the RMA procedure.
So, thanks for all the help and sorry for leading you off on the wrong track.

System BIOS update failed

Hello,
I need your help. I ran HP System Diagnostics following recent BSOD incidents (about 3) on my Pavilion dv6. I ran all the tests successfully except Memory Test as it takes 6 hours (approximately).
Interestingly the BIOS test came up with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file". I tried running BIOS driver update from th HP website for my dv6 notebook but I am not sure it worked. During the update the computer would shut down - is that normal?
What can I do to check that my BIOS from 25 January 2013 is the current version? More importantly prevent future BSOD appearing. I have plenty of memory, so rather intrigued. Ran Norton and Microsoft Security and no viruses etc.
Hope you can help.
Many thanks,
Barbs

Hi,
So the system shut down is normal for BIOS update and if I can restart the computer, therefore assuming the update worked.
I checked HP System Diagnostics the BIOS test still returns with an error message "The System BIOS update failed. Failed reading BIOS image file".
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again,
Barbs

H61M-E33 (B3) BIOS 12.1 Help Please

Hello,
I am having the "file not found" bios update issue.
I tried the solution found on the forum as indicated by Svet but I have lost the original Bios Files that were extracted during the update.
If anyone is willing to help me and has a similar Motherboard i will post the instructions:
1) Download the 7680vC1.zip archive from http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/H61M-E33--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
2) Extract it to an clean USB stick
3) Run it but DO NOT continue the instalation, dont close it either.
4) Acces the USB stick with explorer and copy all its content to an outside folder
5) Cancel the update.
Now all i need is that folder. Unfortunately I can't do the above myself, as the current computer doesn't have an msi compatible board and the application refuses to run.
Note: When the file 7680vC1.exe is runned, a temp folder is created on the stick. That folder is deleted after the update procedure is aborted.
Or any ideas on how to bypass motherboard check?

Why do/did you want to flash the BIOS ? Did you purchase an Ivy CPU with this board ? If so, then you firstly need a supported SB CPU to be able to flash.
What does your system consist of ? >>Posting Guide<<

H61M-P23 (B3) Bios update file not found

Hi everyone,
I tried to update my bios from version 17 to 19 so I have downloaded the bios file from here fr.msi.com/product/mb/H61M-P23--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
I plugged my USB stick and moved the .exe downloaded previously into the root of my USB Key. I ran the file then my PC restarted and now I get this message "Bios updating... File not found"
What should I do ? I can't access to the BIOS anymore, I tried a clear cmos but it's the same issue I also tried to insert the CD ROM of MSI but I can't boot from it.
Thanks for you help

[SOLVED] MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC - Bios Update Fail

Hi,
today i decided to do a bios update of my board.
A friend of me told me NOT to use the Windows-Flash tool cause he killed two borads with it.
Ok so i used the flash utility from the bios/uefi menu with a usb-stick (M-Flash).
Everything looked ok - flash tool was running and told me success/complete and it will now reboot/reset.
At this time i wasn't able to boot anymore
It was like the board tried to read the flash but failed, reset, failed ...
Lucky for me there is this little switch for the bios chip.
Everything worked with the backup chip and i tried to reflash the broken master chip.
-> Using the MSI E-Setup with Mode "In DOS Mode. (USB)".
Booting up the usb stick and switched to master bios chip when i was seeing the "alert - only continue when you know what you are doing bla bla"-message.
Wasn't able to flash anything cause of error:
Quote
ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID
Asking google i should use the /X option (/X - Don't Check ROM ID).
Now i got a new error
Quote
Rom image layout detected RomHole is redesigned
With this message i should use the /K option (/K - Program all non-critical blocks) i was told ... now a was able to flash the chip
And the result was: fail
I found the "HQ USB flashing tool" here and tried to flash the broken chip again (switching the bios switch from backup to master after booting), but also no luck for me ...
After a break i had an idea - at which time i can switch from the backup chip to the master chip?
The bootcode "A2" was the right for me
At the bios/uefi setup all my fans were running at full speed and i was sure this is because of the broken master chip.
So again i tried the M-Flash tool from the setup - f**k it will reset/reboot before the flash progress will start - but now i know the time to switch from backup to master chip
The tool started and i saw the same messages (everything ok, reset/reboot) as i tried it the first time.
Reboot - SUCCESS!
I wasted about three hours of my live to brick and unbrick the master chip, but i don't know why this happend
Maybe this post will help someone to fix a failed bios update.

Thanks for sharing
I used M-Flash a couple of times, just remember DON'T remove usb-stick until it reboot successfully to os....

HP Compaq 8510w BIOS Update failed, stuck in bootloop.

Let me begin with how this happened. I wanted to create a Hackintosh and decided to use my HP Compaq 8510w for that purpose. But since HP whitelists what WiFi cards you can use (OS X is not compatible with Intel), I had to flash a custom BIOS that removed the restrictions. This flashing worked though it would say it failed and should be flashed again. But it would still work and load everything correctly. I finally decided to restore the BIOS but the installation failed and the laptop is now stuck in a boot loop. I want to know is there any way I can recover the BIOS (WITHOUT SENDING THE UNIT IN FOR REPAIRS) or if I need to purchase a new Motherboard for it. I have tried using the Win+B recovery method though I might have done something wrong because the laptop takes no notice. Do I have to use a USB Floppy or can a Flashdrive be used?
Thanks,
Mark

try it without naming the file. there is only one file that is a ROM filetype. That is the EUR5.14 file in the F5.14 BIOS update. There is also a F.5.11 available under XP. The OS does not matter as this is cross platform code that is loaded before the operating system.
If the preceding does not work then you wil have to go online and find a BIOS recovery company that is relatively local to you. Their websites cover what you need to do for them (provide a valid ROM file. (perhaps a eeprom chip matching the one in your PC)
Going to this level is sometimes a bit too much for non techies as it requires acquiring and properly using a special tool to remove and install the CMOS eeprom chip. I have no idea what level of expertise you have.

erico

Pavilion g6-2235us bios update failed - error msg on boot

I've had trouble updating to Windows 8.1, so I did a bios update, as recommended by the HP Web Site, but it failed, and now the laptop won't boot. It displays error message "Your computer needs to be repaired:\bcd, error code 0xc0000034..." Additional info is available by hitting escape, and I can get into a black screen with options:
f1 System information
f2 System diagnostics
f9 Boot device options
f10 BIOS setup
f11 system recovery
I've been down all those paths, with no luck on proceeding any further. f10 shows me all the bios setup screens and the bios version shown is F29, the version that I tried to upgrade to.
I've tried removing the big battery and pressing the start button for one minute - no joy.
I've tried holding Windows+B+start - no joy
I guess I'm down to trying to create a USB Key with the BIOS on it, and that's where I am stumped. The BIOS softpaq for this machine is sp66880.exe. I've got that on a fat32 usb stick with the volume label HP_Tools, and I've got HP tools on the stick too. When I try to boot with the stick by pressing windows+b+start, the light on the USB stick flashes a lot, but ultimately I get the message "The system bios recovery failed. Unable to open bios image file." I have the feeling that I just don't have the proper setup on that USB stick. I tried to run sp66880.exe on another computer, but it tells me that it is going to immediately flash the bios, which I definitely don't want to do (on my Toshiba laptop!).
I would greatly appreciate any help you all can give me on how to create the recovery USB stick in the proper format. Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.

Fixed!
It turns out that the bios update actually succeeded, but something in the hard drive boot files got corrupted. I was able to make a Windows 8 Recovery USB stick on another machine, and finagle around to have the HP laptop reformat the hard drive to original factory condition. Fortunately, I made a very recent Macrium image before this most recent problem started, so the next step is to restore that image. With the new v. F29 bios, hopefully this beast will finally upgrade to Windows 8.1.

U530 bios update fails.

I have downloaded a new verios of bios update (7ccn35ww) but I am unable to update the bios. Every time I run the tool, it automatically restarts the system and tries to update, when it complains that "Update failed. Secure Flash"
Does anyone know why ?

Hi aminvali,
      Just to cover all the bases, what is your current BIOS? When did you purchase your U530? To find your current BIOS, just spam F2 upon a cold boot, and enter the BIOS utility. If you have Win 8, see this article:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Windows-8-and-8-1-Knowledge-Base/How-to-get-into-BIOS-in-Windows-8/ta-p...
     The reason I ask, is because if your U530 was bought in the last few months, you could already have the 7CNN35WW BIOS loaded in your system. Lenovo usually loads the last BIOS available to them in the manufacturing plant, before they post it on their support site. Hence, if you try to flash the same BIOS you already have loaded, it will generate an error.
     Please report back with your results.
Edit: Also, assuming that 35WW file is a new BIOS for your system, when you downloaded the file, did you put it in the Lenovo D: drive?
Have you tried this:
Turn off the comupter. Enter BIOS. Change boot mode from UEFI to Legacy on the last tab. Save changes. Boot Windows. Run update file again. After successfull update return your BIOS settings back

G550 BIOS update failed. Reset CMOS?

The BIOS update from Lenovo failed on my G550 rendering it useless. I get fan and HDD action and all LEDs light up but NOTHING on screen... The CMOS battery is soldered or glued in. Where are the CMOS jumpers?

Hello,
I'm new to BIOS issues, and this one sort of takes the cake. I tried to update my Lenovo G550 (serial 2958)'s BIOS to the updated x64_18CN44WW_(2.53) bios, and the computer crashed most of the way through. Now I'm dealing with a bricked Lenovo. I understand that there are warnings about letting the computer go to sleep before updating the BIOS, which I did, but I simply didn't look deeply enough to find these warnings before I attempted the update. But that doesn't matter now.
What does matter is that I'm working with a Lenovo that needs a reflashed BIOS, and right now I'm working through the options provided by this website:
http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/2105-BIOS-Recovery-procedures
I've tried Method 1 with NTSF partitioning (on a 4GB USB stick), and Method 1 with FAT partitioning (on a 1GB USB stick), both with no success. I'm doing this with the 2.53 BIOS file from the lenovo website's updated installer, as I don't have the backup BIOS handy (it's saved on the bricked laptop).
I need some information to help me either fix my laptop. Specifically, does the Lenovo G550 (Serial 2958) definitely have a Phoenix BIOS? Are there any reports of a USB stick boot being used to successfully flash a bricked computer using the Fn-B boot method? Does the motherboard have a Joint Action Test Group port? Are there any 'legacy' BIOS files I should try to use available to Lenovo staff? What's the course of action a tech would take if I sent my Lenovo in for repairs?

T430 BIOS update failing with -s switch

I am attempting to update the BIOS on my T430 using the -s switch. I have downloaded version 1.20 from the Lenovo site. This version says that it includes a fix for the problem with -s. However, I am still unable to flash using -s. I get an error: secure flash authentication failed

HP OMNI 10 5600eg - Bios update failed

The latest bios update on my HP OMNI10 5600eg failed. Now the screen stays black and I can't get into bios nor I can start windows. The device seems bricked. Is their anything I can do to recover the device? Regards, Michael

Hi @AndreasN , welcome to the HP Forums. I understand you are looking for an instructional to install Windows 8.1 Pro x 32 on your Omni tablet.
If you are saying that you want to install a retail copy of Windows on it, I do not have an instructional for you and I have never done it on an Omni tablet. I cannot guarantee you wouldn't have any problems, but I can give you a few things you will need. Here are the drivers you will need:
HP Omni 10 5600eg Tablet Drivers
If you have Windows 8.1 DVD's you would need a computer to make an installation USB drive to get it on your tablet:
Create installation media for Windows 8.1. There are many other instructionals out there as well, if you need more info.
If I am wrong, and you just mean to do a factory reset, these instructions cover that: Recovering Software on Your HP Tablet (Windows 8)
I hope this helps.

Hi,
If you laptop works well, don't update it. If not, don't use HP Support Assistant or any other program for updating/downloading the BIOS!! Download it:
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp55001-55500/sp55299.exe
manually to a folder, close all running applications (browser, etc..) and then install it by double clicking on it and following the instructions..
