Help - How to Update Bios on MSI N580GTX SLI

I have searched and all I ever see are instructions about updating the BIOS on the Mobo.
I have two MSI N580GTX that I "think" I need to update the Bios. For some reason LiveUpdate 5 doesnt do a thing when updating in Windows.
System Specs:
W764 Ultimate
AMD Phenom II X4 970
MSI NF980-G65 (MS-7612) v1.4
MSI N580GTX (SLI) Bios Version 70.10.17.00.01
What are the steps ? For Video Cards ?

To your edited and add-ed info:

The Cards are N580GTX Twin Frozr II/OC that came with 822 MHz Core
Quote
However though it rolled back the clock ? Why was this when out of box it was 822 ?
Because of outdated VBIOS of the card{s}.
800, 4096 are correct one for your cards:

is the bios related to temp or not

you can try to reseat the VGA heatsink and to reapply the new thermal paste,
to check if this will help to drop it a bit.

Z87-G43 can't reboot - how to update BIOS?

Hey all, today I built a new PC with an MSI Z87-G43 mainboard and an i5-4690 CPU.
I have the problem that the PC can't reboot or reset, instead the PC just keeps running and doing nothing whatsoever.
This seems to be a known issue and the solution is to update BIOS + ME firmware.
For an explanation on how to do that everyone keeps linking to this topic. But to be honest, I don't understand what I have to do now :( (Also, I have never done a BIOS update in my life, and I am kinda scared of the warnings that it can brick the system...)
Could someone tell me which files exactly I have to use for this specific mainboard?

Quote from: Chike on 17-May-15, 17:02:57
Check the serial number for manufacturing date, it look like this:
S/N: xxx-xxxx-xxxxYYMMxxxxxx
i5-4690 requires BIOS 1.7 dated 2014-02-26 and the i5-4690K BIOS 1.8 dated 2014-05-29
If the board date is later than the required BIOS release it is likely that you have it already.
That part of the serial number is 1402, so slightly too early I guess? In the BIOS setup it says V1.6 as well, screenshot:
Quote
How exactly, does it keep rebooting or does it just stay on?
It just stays on, I get a black screen and the fans are running. I need to press the power button for a few seconds so it turns off, then I can turn it on again.
This happens whenever the PC should reboot: When I select "reboot" in Windows, it shuts down and then black screen. Whenever I press the reset button, I just get the black screen. Also e.g. after exiting the BIOS. The problem existed already before I installed Windows, so wrong settings there can hardly be the reason.
Everything happens exactly as described in the topic I linked.

How to update bios with no floppy

Hey everyone, i just first wanted to thank everyone for helping people like me out , My questions is the title.. how to flash bios without a floppy drive and not using Live Update ( which i heard causes more trouble then help ). I have Bios 1.5 and would like to move up to bios 1.6 for better overclocking, i am stuck right now @ 240 x 9 = 2160Mhz. if i move it past 240 even to 241 it wont post at all, but my system is not even being pushed, i lower the mem divdeder to 100 and cpu multi to 7x and nothing. I heard bios 1.5 is bad with overclocking and 1.6 would help me. Thank you.

i use winflash all the time. and as jaybee said, its pretty safe as long as you turn off everything (except your PC of course )
and if somehow, the BIOS is corrupt, you can just DL a new one, reflash it and still be okay without ever having to reboot.
I beg to differ. When I had flashed my K8N Neo (7030) board to the now recalled 1.8 bios (in DOS), I tried to flash it to 1.9 beta using Winflash, following the instructions here on the forum to the very last point, and for me Winflash did not work. Not only did it fail to flash, it also failed to flash using several different bioses. So even though I was able to reflash without rebooting, it did not help me since no bios file worked.
My bios was corrupt and I had to order a replacement chip.
There is always the possible hardware fault (bad flash chip), but since it flashed successfully in DOS only a few days before, I see no reason to suspect the hardware.
My recommendation is therefore: *always* *always* *ALWAYS* use DOS when flashing.

How to update BIOS on Satellite L40-13G

Hello everybody!!
I want to update my BIOS, but doesn't know how to do it. I looked instruction on a site:
Option 2: Update with CD-ROM
1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a temporary folder.
2. In the temporary folder three sub folders will be generated. "docs", "Update - 3,5' Disk", "Update - CD-R or CD-RW"
3. How to make a bootable CD-ROM please read the *.pdf file in the "docs" folder.
4. Ensure the Notebook is connected to the mains.
5. Turn the Notebook off.
6. Place the CD-ROM containing the BIOS upgrade in the optical disk drive.
7. Turn the Notebook on with the F12 key.
8. The BIOS boot menu appears. Select CD/DVD or the CD-ROM symbol using the arrow keys. Press "Enter".
9. The Notebook will boot from the BIOS upgrade CD-ROM.
10. A boot menu appears. Select the point for update the BIOS by using the arrow keys. Press "Enter".
11. The BIOS update process starts. Do not switch off the notebook during update.
12. If the update process is finished follow the instruction on the screen.
Downloaded such update of bios: bios-20070904123621.zip
Page with update file: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_bios.jsp
Then I decompressed zip,.. and didn't see three directories, which written about in instruction (from above).
Help please, what I must to do. Or how to update my BIOS?
Thank you!

Listen Alexey!!
At this time you can find the BIOS 2.20-WIN for Satellite L40 on the Toshiba European driver page.
This is a *windows-based* version of the BIOS. Its *NOT* traditional BIOS version.
In such case you cannot update the BIOS using a diskette or CD. The BIOS update must be performed while the OS is running!!
However, the BIOS update is tricky and always RISKY!!! If you have no problems with your notebook, dont update anything!!!
The wrong BIOS or wrong BIOS update procedure can damage the board!!!!

HT4623 I cannot see sw update button in general section,pls help how to update iOS in my iPad 2

Hi I want to upgrade my iOS to 5 in my ipad2 but I cannot see nay upgrade button in the setting section.pls help how to upgrade my iOS now

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, as you have iOS 4 you can only update to iOS 7 (that is the only version that you can update to) via your computer's iTunes, as described half-way down the page that you posted from. You will need the current version of iTunes on your computer : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad via File > Devices > Back Up
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand sidebar, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button
Updating to iOS 5+ : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972
If you do update you can't then uninstall it

Satellite A200-1DN - How to update BIOS for Windows 7

I'm running 32bit Windows 7 on a Satellite A200 1DN. I've been having battery problems (plugged in, not charging) and I understand I need to update my BIOS. However I can't find a BIOS update for Windows 7, only Vista and XP.
Can anyone help? Should I update with the Vista BIOS? Are there any other options for solving this battery problem? I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ian

Theoretically, you can install Windows Vista to update Bios and return Win 7, then. Before doing, try this:
Unplug the computer from the AC adapter and turn it on. Let the computer run under battery power until the computer turns off
Remove the battery pack. Using a soft cloth, wipe off the battery packs connectors and the AC adapters connectors.
Re-insert the battery pack and plug the computer into the AC adapter
> I've already tried an ATX reset, and uninstalling the Microsoft ACPI Compliant Control Method Battery.
by the way, did you have the same issue before installing Win 7?

Re: Portege R500 - How to update BIOS on Windows 7?

Hello,
I want to update the bios of my Portege R500 to the 1.6 version. It's a windows-update BIOS and when I launch it under Windows 7, I get the message:
[Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed.
I have to reinstall XP in order to update the Bios? File name is P0058v160.exe. Does anyone know if BIOS update works in Virtualisation mode? I would install Sunbox VM, install XP and run the BIOS update. But will it work?
Does anyone has an idea?
Regards,
Roro

Hi
You cannot format the 32GB SHCI card because the card reader of R500 support only SDHC cards up to 8GB!
So even you will update the BIOS, the 32GB SDHC card will not be recognized
Back to your BIOS update question;
Since the BIOS is OS independent, the BIOS update should work using Win 7 too.
As far as I know some Toshiba tools are needed in order to start the BIOS update.
Using Win XP you need Common Modules installed.
Using Vista or Win 7 the VAP (value added package) should be installed.

Help !! Need Bios For MSI GFFX 5900 VTD

I Need Original Bios For GFFX 5900 VTD !!
Send To: [email protected]
or leave post reply.

Seems like we'll have to wait for someone to tw33k the VGA BIOS for MSI's FX5900 series VGA card... Else I'll be stuck with my paperweights VGA cards now...
I want to see better results on my MSIs' FX5950U vs FX5900U vs FX5900 non-U... Till date, the best card I've o/c'ed is the FX5950U at 1.05GHz, FX5900U at 990MHz and FX5900 non-U at 950MHz...
Though it seems that the memory clock has the capability to o/c even more one after another but the 3D clock is still not more than 560MHz for all 3... and 3DMarks no big difference... Maybe due to my system's bottleneck problems also...

MSI N580GTX SLI Compatibility

Hi,
I want to sell my MSI N580GTX Twin Frozr III Power Edition.
Someone want to buy it for SLI, but the problem that he got an MSI N580GTX Lightning Edition
From the outside they look exactly the same, but is SLI possible between those two GPU ?

Hi Meyo,
I cannot answer/reply your PM (no rights???) so i will answer you here.
I still don't know for sure if it will work, the only difference is that de Lightning has more seperate power fases.
It basicly is the same PCB only the Lightning is more robust and has a higher default clock.
Anyhoe, i finally did find another lightning card!!!.
Ashame that i need a bigger PSU now
My current PSU is the "Scythe Chouriki 2 850W" but when i start to overclock mildly say, 925/1850/2250, the PSU pulls with max benchmarking (Prime95+Furmark) 838W uit of the wall sockett (just the cord from the PSU, monitor and sutch are not calculated in the 838W)
Anyone have a good suggestion for a 1KW PSU?

How to update Bios (MS-6330)?

I don't know how to flash my Bios. My version now is 2.70 and the latest is 3.6 or something like this. When I pressed the install sh. button and downloaded the latest version I have to put some Data on a floppy disk to save and flash bios. But when I want to reboot (first step to boot: Floppy Disk, second HD, boot from other device: yes) the PC from Floppy, I have to enter something (A:/ **??**). But what do I enter here???
Please help me, it's importand (Please forgive me for my bad English, I can't speak English very well :D )
Thanks,
Niko

or if ur board doesn't support live updates,here's another way : -
1)format ur floppy and choose "Create System Boot Disk"
2)copy the extracted .exe files downloaded from MSI BIOS section,which are 1 exe file and 1 bin file
3)Go into bios in BIOS Features,select Floppy as ur Boot-0 or First Boot Device,Save Exit
4)Boot into the floppy and type the awdfl822a.exe or something like that,when prompted,type in the bin file name.
5)Will be asked whether to continue or to backup ur current bios,yes if u want to,then continue.
6)F1 to restart ur machine,and u're done~

Nope.
Even if I had, I would probably not be installing Windows on it to upgrade the firmware!
I got some generic ways to install firmware if using Linux:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate
But I will wait for an official response from someone at HP about providing a Linux compatible BIOS update before attempting that.
If that is your desire, then I highly recommend that you contact HP directly.
You may have quite a long wait otherwise,

Satellite A500 - How to update BIOS?

Hi,
i've wanted to update my notebook to the new bios version 1.30. i've startet the windows based update. the update failed in the middle(6 pakets or something left) of the installing process and the system was frozen. after i've rebooted, i wanted to start the bios update for a second time, but the installer said, that i have already installed the bios version 1.30.
How can i update my notebook completely, because my fan is still running on a high level.
best regards

Hello
You should be happy that your ROM module isnt damaged as yet because this happens normally if the update fails.
Anyway, try to load the default settings in BIOS and try the update again. You must be logged in as administrator and close all running programs (also AntiVirus, firewall, etc.) Dont forget to extract all files from zip archive.
If it doesnt work you should contact an authorized service provider. The technicians should reflash the whole ROM module and then you can have new BIOS version too. Maybe it will done for free due warranty. :)

Qosmio G50-129 PQG55E - 64Bit Windows 7 Upgraded - How To Update BIOS?

Hello,
I have a Qosmio G50 that I have upgraded to Windows 7 64bit. My BIOS is unupdated from 6 months ago when I bought the machine.
I went to update the BIOS just to keep things up to date, so I went through the online driver wizard:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
And with all the above information inputted, it provides:
http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/bios-20090312131718.zip
After unzipping and running P0060v210.exe, it extracts and then says:
" [Error] BIOS Update is not supported OS. Unsupported OS or service pack is installed. " (Word up to all my Googling friends!) "
Does Toshiba have a BIOS update for the Qosmio G50 that is supported on Windows 7? Specifically 64bit? They should fix this glitch that directs you to download this file when it clearly isn't supported by Windows 7.
Also, I tried to run it in compatibility mode with Windows XP SP2 and it ran fine -- but I was nervous about going through with the update if it originally doesn't support Windows 7, so I don't continue at the next prompt. Is it safe to do this? Has anyone else in this situation done it without issues? I've read that BIOS updates can go horribly wrong if not careful, so I'm hesitant to update the BIOS by running the updater in compatibility mode when it doesnt support Windows 7 on its own!
Thanks in advance for any assistance and Merry Xmas.

Hi All,
Sorry ,my English is not perfect.I have a Toshiba Qosmio G50-12K.The solution is go to the US Toshiba website.Here is the link:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=2140527& rpn=PQG55U&modelFilter=G55-Q805&selCategory=3&selFamily=804517
There are all of the BIOS what is available. The 2.1 BIOS exactly the same as on the European website just they used a zip file. If you guys open it you will find the same .exe file, the file size is the same, but don't use this one, instead of it you can find there an ISO file. Write a CD with this one, turn off the computer and boot from the CD, use the F12 button. This is a safety way update the BIOS. But I use the 2.3, this is newest one, for me this one is works much better, because the display is more bright. I hope this is a big help for you and you understand my English! :)
