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.

H61m-e33(b3) bios update fail

hello i have a msi h61m-e33(b3) and i have update my bios to the last Verse 12.3.

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

H61M-E33 (B3) BIOS supported HD size?

How large of an HD does the BIOS of H61M-E33 recognize? I put in a 3 TB drive and am trying to run SpinRite on it but the motherboard might not be recognizing all 3 TB, unfortunately.
There is no POST screen that I can find nor is the drive size shown in the BIOS setup screen.
Thank you!

Then the board is bricked. If still under warranty rma it otherwise recovering with an SPI flash programmer is required by a pc shop or MSI (to be paid of course).

H61M-P23 (B3) BIOS update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive.

Hey,
I attempted to update my BIOS, but the power went out in the middle of it. I cleared CMOS, and when I tried to use the EIVB.bin file to boot up a bios, It only says A2 in the corner. Without a flash drive in it says BIOS update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive and reset the system. Any ideas on what to do?

Move USB key to another USB port and retest, use backside one.
If no change have a try with another different USB key,
and copy the EIVB.bin file to the newest USB key and retry.

MSI H61M-E33(B3) updating bios.........file not found

Hi,
I tried to update the bios MSI H61M-E33(B3) from 10.D to 12.2. After rebooting, i got the message "BIOS Update: ... file not found".
There is something wrong, what could it be?
The following files are on an usb-Stick:
- 7680vC2.exe (Windows-Installer)
- EIVB.bin (MD5: 55a1af369b1db5b180a432a8fa5c7178 )
- IM9T318R (empty directory)
If the stick is missing, i got the message that the bios-update is not finished yet.

If that doesn't work:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Download the attached archive to your desktop(of any computer)
Install the forum update tool
Use option 1 of the tool and point it at the entire archive.
It will prepare the flash tool to flash, I am not sure if you are getting far enough to use this, perhap try a full cmos clear as well.
If none of these solutions will work, you will need that spi programmer.

H61M-E33 B3 - which BIOS version for i5-3570?

Hi
My motherboard is MSI H61M-E33 B3, I was using i3-2100 CPU, but a friend gave me his old i5-3750, which is far better. I updated my BIOS with Live Update before I swapped CPU's but I guess that my BIOS version is still wrong for this i5, because when I try to run my PC, it beeps 4 times and reset. So my question is, what is exact BIOS version I need for this CPU to work, and where can I download it? I would be really thankful for any help

Quote from: HenryW on 18-February-15, 08:03:41
Does it still work with the 13-2100? Did you clear CMOS after BIOS update?
Yes, and yes. Works perfectly with i3, and I've cleared CMOS, but it didn't help.
Quote from: Chike on 18-February-15, 08:06:21
Go to MB support page and check the compatibility list.
for the last 2 digits/letters, A=10, B=11, C=12 etc, so A2 will be 10.2
The problem is, on this page - http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H61ME33_B3.html#hero-overview - On the compatibility tab, my i5 is labeled as "7680vC0.zip" - so i guess BIOS version 12.0 - but on the downloads tab, I see only BIOS 12.3 and 12.2, and the next older one is 10.E :/ Should I download this 12.2 or 12.3 versions?
When I use my Live Update 6 program, with i3 CPU mounted, it tells me that my BIOS version is A.E0 and it is the latest one, and no need to update.
I'm really, really confused :P

Bug in latest 2 bios updates for FM2-A55M-E33

Hey guys,
Today I tried to update my bios of my FM2-A55M-E33 to the latest version(7721vA4.zip). Once everything completed succesfully, the bios wouldn't boot anymore.
I plugged out my 3TB hdd and it worked fine. I installed an earlier version of the bios(7721vA0.zip) and this did work with my 3TB hdd.
So in short:
The latest bios updates for FM2-A55M-E33 will freeze(black screen) at bios start when a 2TB+ hdd drive is plugged in.
Namely:
FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7) V10.3 BIOS Release
FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7) V10.4 BIOS Release
I hope you can fix this asap, especially since these are the latest updates.
Regards,
Henkie de Grote

Thx for the info anyways

MSI H61M-E23 (B3) bios not updating ....

Hi,
The board was working fine, it had an old bios, so I when to MSI website to download an up to date bios.
H61M-E23(B3) MS-7680 ver 2.11 (info on the board)
xxx.msi.com / support / mb / H61ME23_B3.html#down-bios
the bios I found on msi site was ver 12.3 @ 2013-01-10, it was an executable file!
(how can I extract the BIOS ROM file from this?)
Anyway I was running win8 x32, I close all programs that was running, then started the bios upgrade, after a few seconds windows started to restart, then I got this message about the BIOS NOT COMPLETED UPGRADE, please insert bios floppy disk or usb.
I then downloaded the last bios file that had a ROM file in he zip file from MSI website "7680vAE.zip"
ver 10.E @ 2012-02-16
I extracted the files to the root of my 2GB USB, then plug it in, restarted my pc, and go a message:
"Updating BIOS ......... file not found"
Copy out the ROM file "E7680IMS.AE0" to a FAT32 formatted 2GB USB stick,
I then copy that file and rename it to "E7680IMS.ROM", then Copy it again and rename it to "AMIBOOT.ROM"
With all 3 files on the root of my usb, I put it in one of the 4 use slot on the back of the motherboard, I use the one below the PS/2 plug.
I am still getting that message, about file not found.
(What file is it looking for?, as in the file name & extension)
I also tried the Ctrl + Home, a few times you would see a 2 letter code on the bottom-right corner of the screen, B4/B2 & A2
Now I am getting the message:
"BIOS update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive and reset system."
but it don't not say what file name and extension to name my bios to get it to load or replace the corrupt one.
Can someone Help ME ?

OK, Thanks.
I formatted my 2GB USB stick, then extracted the C3.rar file to the USB
the file name was EIVB.BIN put it in my computer and the screen, when from B4, to A2 then it started to update the bios.
After it reach 100% it restarted my computer now I am not getting anything from it,
no display, no keyboard light, no mouse light.
but the pc, turn on like nothing is wrong, no beeps.
Was that recovery BIOS for the H61M-E23?
How can i recover from this?
Can I do an AMIBOOT.ROM or AMIBOOT.BIN or AMIBIOS.BIN/ROM ?
Can i use an old bios for this board say 7680vAE and rename the .AE0 file to EIVB.BIN and recover this board ?
Please Help

MSI H61M-P23 (B3) - Failed BIOS Update, PC Won't Boot

I attempted to update the BIOS on my MSI H61M-P23 motherboard and the update failed. Attempted to reboot the PC and no longer have access to the BIOS and the PC does not boot. Additionally, there are two short beeps in POST. Any suggestions on resolving this issue?

I don't recall what the old BIOS version was, but whatever the newest version that's available for download from MSI is what I attempted to flash. I ran the BIOS update in Windows and my PC froze for over an hour and wouldn't respond, so I powered it down and went to power it back up and now I get a blank screen and two beeps in POST.
which version exactly you tried to update?

B75MA-E33 - long time to post after installing most recent bios update

I installed the bios update from the product page for this motherboard and flashed it directly from the utility within the bios. It installed fine, but after installing this update the post time has increased from about 10 seconds to anywhere between one and five minutes. It sits on the screen with the "A2" code in the bottom right corner before loading the msi splash screen. I searched the forum but didn't see anyone else reporting this. Anyone have any idea what's causing this? I verified that the settings in the bios haven't changed.

Solution? Thanks? This is not your thread. Topic starter has been asked to post system details.
I guess you misunderstood my post.What I was that I have a similar motherboard and I was planning on updating the BIOS.He reported about this issue and I'm thankful to him for that.

H61M-E33 and AHCI

Hello,
I recently grabbed one of the MSi H61M-E33 mainboards from the Microcenter deal a few days back. Despite the information I see online, and in the board's user manual, it doesn't appear to have AHCI support. Does anyone know if MSi is looking into this? I gave them a call, but they just had me update the BIOS, which did nothing.
In UEFI, it even describes each of the settings like AHCI was supposed to be an option, but it's just not there. It doesn't look like I'm alone, either. I see a couple mentions of this around the internet, but I didn't see anything here so I thought I'd ask.
Thanks!

Might be some information concerning that in this thread; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=146755.0
Interesting. I didn't see that thread because it's on a different board. So two of MSi's H61 boards are exhibiting this problem. I do see they share the same firmware, and looking around online there are rumors that H61MU-E35 has a UEFI update on the way to fix the issue.
Hopefully this gets corrected soon.

H61M-E33 B3 - PCI slot not working ?

Hi,
I've plugged a working (tested on another PC) WIFI DLINK PCI card on the motherboard (H61M-E33 B3) and it's not detected by windows 7 64bits or by the PC itself (the on card green LED isn't lightening).
I've updated to the latest version of the motherboard BIOS with Live5.
Except that, the PC is working fine.
I've an Intel icore3 and 8gb of ddr3 ram.
Anyone ever had this kind of problem ?
Thx

Quote from: HU16E on 11-December-11, 18:36:24
Most likely a compatibility problem. Might check with the card manufacturer for any update information. Other suggestion is to contact MSI Tech Support with a ticket reporting the problem. They may be able to look at it from their end. http://support.msi.com
I'll try that, thx.
The PCI card is a DLINK DWA-547 wifi card, in case you ever read problem about this one.
