Hidden BIOS options NOT gone with 1.4x

I noticed a post a while ago that mentioned the hidden BIOS options for the K8N Neo (and family) have been removed in 1.4x. I didn't notice any post afterwards mentioning that they are not gone, so I figured I'd share how to get access to them incase anyone cares.
The exact key combination I'm not sure about, because it's kind of odd the way you get them to appear. What I do is (while in the BIOS obviously) press Alt+F1, Control+F1, Shift+F1, Alt+F2, Control+F2, Shift+F2, then Alt+F3. I've tried this in 1.42, 1.45, 1.47 and 1.48, and it works in them all. It should probably work for the others as well too.

K8N Diamond SLI has hidden BIOS options too

Just having a play with my new Diamond K8N SLI and found it has a set of hidden options in
the BIOS, much like the NEO/NEO2 boards had.
IDE HDD Block Mode
Mac Media Interface
NV/ATI Speedup
NV4x Memory Speedup %
NV4x Core Speedup %
Add NV4 Memory Clock
Add NV4 Core Clock
PCI Clock Auto Detect
Usual way to get into it... go into BIOS at boot up.
Press
Shift F2
Alt F3

Thanks for the info. How are things running? Have you done any benchs?

F4 to show advanced bios options not working

Hello, i have a MSI P6N-SLI FI board, with the v27 bios. I'm looking to disable C1E but F4 does not seem to do the trick. I remeber clearly on v25 i think, doing it, but it just dosent want to activate here. Any ideeas?

There is no C1E Option that could be made visible by pressing F4 in BIOS v2.7. It was still part of BIOS v2.6. In v2.7, however, it appears to have been removed.
Hit F4 while you are in the "Integrated Peripherals" Section and you will see that the F4-Function itself still works as a new option should appear.
Why would you want to disable C1E Support anyway?
What makes you think that it isn't already disabled?

K8N Neo 2 Hidden Bios Options!!!

Hi,
Has anyone tried those new options and can tell me what they do exactly??
To enable them you must press Shift+F2 and Alt+F3 rapidly in the bios.
Then go in the cell menu and you will find new options:
NV/ATI Speedup
Dram drive strenght
PCI clock auto detect
I am wondering why has MSI been hidding this from the users and if there are other combinations for other hidden options.
Fell free to comment

Hi Micklain.
We seem to have very similar set ups.
COOLERMASTER ATC / ENERMAX 450
K8N NEO 2 PLAT' WI FI

OCZ DUAL CHANNEL 1GB PC3200 PLATINUM REV 2

I have recently put the system together but have suspicions about settings in the bios.
could you tell me what your settings are FSB, Multipliers, Voltages, etc etc.
Sisoft Sandra tells me that my CPU Voltage is set to low but I never touched this setting, alla bit confusing for a noob at this, I was just relieved that it hung together and it works but not sure where to start, I intend on some mild forrays into Over Clocking but nothing nuts..
I have my Ram set up for 1T and tight timings 2-2-2-5 but I know it has got loads of headroom but not sure where to start.
I ran a 2001 default benchmark and got 29250 so it can't be far off in the settings. I just seek re assurance I guess and sorry if I have hi jacked the thread a bit, just realised.
Thanx.

Great scores by the way.

"Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option not working with all documents

Said option (found under Edit/Preferences, category Documents), which works like an automatic bookmark in that it takes you back to the same place you were at when you last closed a document, is very useful, but apparently doesn't work with *all* documents.
- Does anyone know what determines whether a given document works with this option or not?
- Is this by design or a bug? A matter of PDF format version?
- Is there a way to work around the problem?
I've compared two documents, only one of which works with the option, to determine what the relevant difference may be, and found two suspects (under File/Properties): the PDF version (1.5 in the document that works, 1.4 in the one that doesn't), and 'Fast Web View' ('yes' in the document that works, 'no' in the one that doesn't).
Thanks,
Michael

This seems to be a problem with some PDF files.
Suggested workaround: If the PDF you have allows "Save As", then try save-as to a new file. The "Restore last view settings when reopening documents" option should then work as expected (in the new file).

"view image" menu option not working with jpg correctly

When I right click on an image in my browser, I can select "view image" and the image by itself will pop up in a new tab. This still works for most image formats, but has stopped working with the jpg format.
Say I go to google's home page, right click on their logo, and select view image. Since their logo is not in jpg format, the logo image will appear in a new tab, and the URL will show the location of that image (in this case, http://www.google.com/images/logos/ps_logo2a_cp.png)
When I try to do this with an image in jpg format, it asks me what I want to do, and gives me the options:
1 - Save file
2 - Open with windows photo viewer
3 - Open with (other)
In trying to make it work right, I selected "open with other" and selected firefox. This almost works how it used to work, it opens up the image in a new tab... but now, instead of showing the URL of the source image, it shows the location of the file on my computer. So for example, if I go to tinypic.com and find the jpg image (http://i56.tinypic.com/nd9d75.jpg). If I right click on that image and select "view image", it opens by itself in a new tab as it should, except the address bar displays (file:///C:/Users/Joe/AppData/Local/Temp/nd9d75-3.jpg) instead of it's web URL.
Does anyone know why this is happening? And/or how I can get firefox's behavior to go back to how it used to work for jpg's in this capacity, like it does for other image formats?

New trackpad options not working with Lion

It seems like many people are having problems with this option so I'll just make this short and sweet. It seems like all my new trackpad options for Lion aren't working (besides scroll). Not sure if I need to do some manual tuning for this or not, because I though it was all automatically changed. This is disapointing! Just want to know if this is a glitch or if I can to do anything to fix this.

Which trackpad do you have? The two button, one button or no button glass?

Dante font used in manuscript - when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

Dante font used in manuscript … when I try to save as a pdf document in Microsoft Word whole pages change their look, with wide gaps forming between certain paragraphs or sections. This does not happen with other fonts.

OK, we've got it!
What is happening is that when you use Microsoft's save as PDF in Word, the font isn't embedded even though the font is tagged to allow embedding. Furthermore, Microsoft doesn't properly put the font name into the PDF file such that Acrobat or Reader can readily find the font installed on your system such that the text can be properly displayed and/or printed. Acrobat and Reader attempt to display and/or print the text using a “substitution font” and of course, as they say, YMMV (“your mileage may vary”)!
I personally submitted the report of this problem (both the embedding and the font name problem) to Microsoft. They acknowledge the bug, tried a fix and provided me a build with it, but it wasn't right. Maybe they will ultimately fix it, maybe they won't. We don't know yet. We do know that if it is fixed, it will be fixed only for Office 2013 (problem occurs with all Office applications since they use the same PDF generation code) and thus such a fix won't help you.
Adobe Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro both provide an Adobe PDFMaker plug-in to Office applications (including full support for Office 2010) that adds an Acrobat Toolbar as well as a Save as Adobe PDF menu item. The resultant PDF file fully supports embedding of OpenType CFF, TrueType, and Type 1 fonts and in many other ways produces much superior PDF with a full range of PDF generation options not available with the Microsoft PDF. (Note that beginning with Office 2013, Microsoft does not support Type 1 fonts in Office documents at all, even for existing documents!) The Acrobat Office functions are widely used and respected in the end user community and whatever “issues” there are (all software has “issues” of some type - it is a matter of how many and how severe), you should be in much better shape for PDF production that with what you currently are using.
Good luck and let us know if this resolves your problems. (Note that you can download and install a free fully-functional 30 trial of Acrobat Pro to assure that it meets your needs! You can then buy a license and activate what you already have installed.)

Hidden Bios for MSI GX 633?

Hi , is there a hidden bios option in GX 633. the bios is pretty limited i cant even check the cpu temp from bios or what the fan speed is for example.
Bios info below :
Mainboard : Gx630/GX633
PCB Version : Ver.001
BIOS Version : E1652NMS VER.10P
BIOS Date : 12/02/2009

Thank You

yup...no update 'till today...

MS 6163 bx master not compatible with Win XP

Hi !
Yesterday i changed the HDD, installed the windows xp sp2... and here we go again with the old problems since the windows xp come out.
My pc often greeze, lock Up and i have to reset it. In the event viewer there is an error under the system that said:
AMLI: ACPI BIOS is attempting to write to an illegal IO port address (0xnnnn), which lies in the 0xXXXX - 0xYYYY protected address range. This could lead to system instability. Please contact your system vendor for technical assistance.
The motherboard is acpi complaint, but the problem is that the Bios is not compatible with windows xp. It is very sad thet the manufacturer did not make changes to the biso so the people with retired motherboards can still use it without problems.
There is a way to fix this, but it will still freeze in time to time, but not so often. The problem about acpi will be corrected, if you change to non - acpi complaint system and then install NT/APM legacy support to shut down windows properly.
I noticed that doing that, the system is not working so fast then when was acpi complaint. also some strange little noises come out from the motherboard expecialy when i move the usb mouse. I dont know what to say, but its sad. I still have this pc althought its so old. If only the bios can be comaptible....
If you computer's BIOS tries to write to a port in ACPI Machine Language (AML), you will receive similar errors. Windows NT-based computers, including Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, do NOT allow these operations as they can cause instability.
To resolve this problem, contact your manufacturer about a BIOS upgrade.
I so on the internet on a photo of the motherboard that there is a jumper J1 that can lock write to bios ? anyone know what is it ?
In the manual there is no explanation or mentioned J1 jumper....
Please make the bios stable for me

Hi !
Without overclock ? yes I also tryed this. It is the same problem. When windows xp come out it brings with it this problem of Bios.
For now I am running windows without acpi support as I said. This will correct the error... but I will se in next weeks how it will work. I have the new HDD now. On the old one i got some bad clusters and mybe this caused freezing althought i disabled acpi. With acpi enabled my pc would freeze every 10 minutes... To eliminate the freeze related to acpi error, the only solution is to disable acpi support, since there is no BIOS available ti fix this problem.
Sure.. it is possible that also my ram will cause pc to freeze in time to time. I noticed that where there is 4 slots for sdram, there is also a RED lightning led. I check the manual , but there is no explanation of this led. I dont know why it is red and not green. I dont even know what colour should be. This led is located next to the ram slot.
The noises that i mentioned...are comming from the PSU.... It is a new one. The precedent one was the same one and also new and i return it to change it for another of the same manufacturer (same model also). heh also this one turn out that it cause strange noises. mybe is not so silent as they said.

HP p6-2120 BIOS will not give me option to change "primary display adapter" for new GEFORCE GT 610

I am trying to change the primary display setting to "PCI Express Graphics", but the setup bios does not give me that option, how can I make that change?

Futuros, welcome to the forum.
When you install a discrete video card the integrated video should be automatically disabled. This will allow for the discrete card to be recognized. Are you having problems with the card not being recognized?

Tecra M5 BIOS not compatible with Windows Vista

Hi, I ran the Vista Upgrade Advisor from Microsoft and it reported that the BIOS on my Tecra M5 was not compatible with Vista and to contact Toshiba. I am currently running version 1.7 - the latest available I think. Is Toshiba going to release a version that will be Vista compatible, or a fix so that I can run Vista on my M5?
I forgot to mention that the machine is a UK M5 (PTM51E)
Many thanks,
David

David,
That's not the case. Whatever the results of the software advisor that you have run, you can install VISTA ok on your Tecra M5 PTM51E portable but obviously subject to you having purchased the license (full version or upgrade) from a local supplier, however, you will have to carry out a new (clean) installation of VISTA which means you would have to wipe your hard disk drive in the process. Obviously, making sure that you backup all of your data first to another system (or to external media) and be aware of the software that may/may not run correctly under VISTA before starting the process.
There's a new M5 BIOS released for your M5 which would then upgrade your existing 1.7 BIOS to the latest version.
The standard 512mb Tecra M5's run VISTA very well. No Toshiba software is available, however, maybe this will be released over time so you can adjust power settings and utilities as you can now under XPP.
After installing and registering/activating VISTA you will be prompted to install various updates (including an updated graphics driver and some patches.) Take these options and then your portable should work better. That said, even the standard VISTA installation works fine (AERO support appears to be improved on the new version plus it looks slightly more optimised and also runs a little quicker.)
If you are familiar with your portable, IT aware, and unsure of wiping your existing system totally, then you could also purchase a additional internal Toshiba SATA HDD kit for the Tecra M5 in order to try VISTA in the short time. Another internal 80gb/100gb HDD would give you the capability to try VISTA without losing all or your XP software and software/networking configurations, enabling you to move back to XPP should you have any (none-Microsoft) software or antivirus software issues stopping you from working after your installation of VISTA. I appreciate that there are costs associated but this would allow you to switch between XP and VISTA more easily (than wiping your current system, installing VISTA and then going back to XPP should any problems occur, not to mention the time savings that this could introduce !)
With VISTA, just take >>GREAT CARE<< with your software. Many (none- Microsoft) software applications have some issue(s) with VISTA because it is new. So, this may mean that you may have to purchase a software update in order to ensure that you have 100% compatibility with your favourite applications (or have to replace your existing software versions entirely with new ones.)

Black Screen with Radeon 6970 bios, but not the stock 6950.

My previous motherboard was the Gigabyte GA-880GMA-UD2H and an Athlon II x4. It ran the Radeon 6950 unlocked as a 6970 on this bios for 3 years: imgur(dot)COM /oXBNtTk
I recently got the G3258, and the B85M GAMING MSI motherboard on bios 10.2. It booted a black screen until I switched the bios to stock. (2 bios options, w/ physical switch) My question is how do I fix this, is there a bios option to disable? Why is this happening..
Also of note, the windows 7 account control popup security check, and logging after password input will show a black screen for about 1 second. I find this strange. (stock bios obviously)

So you updated under Windows with what tool? Most likely the ME firmware wasn't updated this way. Try reupdating it properly:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive (A70.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip

My Iphone 4 does not come with a SOFTWARE UPDATE option.

My partner bought my iphone 4 version 4.2 about two years ago from a well known store. He got himself one at the same time but i cannot update mine because it does not come with an option in settings, general that allows me to update it. All of my apps are useless as they need at least iSO5 to run. I cannot check my bank accounts or anything. I have rung and spoke to apple many of times and followed all the steps to try and update. As this is not my fault and the iphone had not been loaded with the correct software there should be something APPLE could do free of charge!!!! I really need help as i cannot afford a replacement or want one. I just dont know what to do anymore!!
