How repair failed bios flash for MSI H81M-E33 w/Intel Pentium G3220 Haswell 2Cor

my msi h81m-e33 w/ intell g3220 haswell dual core 3.0 ghz no longer posts or displays anything after power on after flashing bios with msi update 6.0 Could someone walk me thru repairing this?

Try >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also try without GPU, with 1 RAM stick and without hard drives following >>Clear CMOS Guide<< again.
If that fails then sadly it's bricked and either you have to send it to MSI for them to reflash it (costs may apply) or go to near IT services and ask if they're able to reflash it.

MSI H81M-E33 BIOS Issues and Post Flash Issues

Hello,
My situation is as follows: (TL:DR at bottom)
Built a new computer and decided to use the new LGA 1150 refreshed CPUs. Bought the MSI H81M-E33 Motherboard and installed windows. Noticed a problem with the rebooting even when installing windows. Thought it was just because of the windows installation, but problem persisted in which the computer seems to shut down but doesn't power down and i have to manually hold power button to power down and then push it again to start up. No real issues it seems since the computer does close processes and shut down but this was irritating me. I read online that BIOS updates seem to fix this problem. Did some research and decided to update with M-Flash to bios v6.6.
As I used M-flash to update to BIOS (selected "Select one file to update BIOS and ME") v6.6 the update stops at 47% and then the computer attempts to restart. BUT it still has the same problem and does not power down. So I manually powered down and started it back up. I then got "no signal" even as I waited. Now I'm freaking out and I power it down again and try again. This time I wait and it get to BIOS (MSI Screen) and then no signal again (not booting windows). Again I hold power down and power back on. Long wait again and I get back to bios. Still freaked out at this point but relieved I didn't brick motherboard.
Decide to flash v6.5 in case 6.6 was too new and might some problems. However v6.5 has the same problems; bios update stops at 47%, computer attempts to reboot, can't reboot, I power off, power on, no signal, power off, power on, wait a while and it gets to BIOS (MSI Screen), then boots to windows.
Right now the bios does read the bios version as v6.5 but I still have the issues in restarting where that doesn't really work. In addition, I now have this wait from pushing the power button to when I see BIOS (MSI Screen).
TL:DR
Had reboot problems decided to update BIOS
Used M-flash ("Select one file to update BIOS and ME") to update to v6.6
Update stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time nothing, freaked out, powered off, powered on, waited a while got to bios (Whew), checked for new version (it is).
Decided v6.6 might be too new decided to try v6.5 used M-Flash again
Again stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time, nothing, powered off powered on, waited a while got to bios, checked bios for new version (it is), save and exit, no signal, power off, power on, waited a while got to bios, then booted into windows
My concerns are;
I seem to still have reboot issue.
I have to wait for BIOS now, no longer pretty quick start.
My questions are;
Did I mess up the flashing somewhere?
Was stopping at 47% normal?
Should I try to update the BIOS another method to fix my current problems?
Am I missing a step somewhere?
Any help is appreciated, I just got really freaked out by the whole process but I'm just glad the computer still works (kinda).
Thanks in advance for any help, and apologies on the long essay just wanted to be as specific as possible.

Is there a tutorial on how to flash the new BIOS?
Decompress the provided .rar archive with Winrar: http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Then flash the desired file included with Nvflash for dos: http://www.guru3d.com/files_details/nvflash_download.html
To do so rename the included file to .rom and create a dos bootstick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0)
Put nvflash and the vbios file on it and boot from the stick. Then type nvflash -4 -5 -6 gop.rom (if renamed vbios that way) and hit enter. Confirm the questions and let the tool flash.

Also, what is the difference between normal and ln2, or witch one is safe to use?
normal is the pre-overclocked default vbios. LN2 (which can be chosen via the selector switch on top of your card) is not factory overclocked but allows more extreme manual oc without the limits of normal vbios (more voltage and power draw allowed). This is especially needed for extreme oc like if using Liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling for oc records.

MOVED: Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
Best BIOS setting for MSI K8N Plat + AMD 3000+ Venice + Geil Value RAM

If you want SSE3 support and you do not overclock, Bios 1.4 is the only one officially available (1.41beta is not official).
Try to upgrade to 1.4 and see it for yourself, do the upgrade with floppy in DOS so that you can save your old Bios.
I would rather wait till mid June when a less troublesome new bios is suppose to be availabe for NEO4 MBs.

BIOS flash for Satellite A20-S103 needed

Hello,
I need a BIOS flash for a Toshiba Satellite A20-S103 notebook. I already downloaded the one on the download site.
But this one i can not use because i need windows to be installed. And that is just the problem.
I can not install windows because the BIOS is not fully ACPI compliant.
The BIOS version on the laptop is V1.10.
To update i need a dos version to flash the bios.
Is it possible to get a bios update which is written for dos?
Thanks a lot,
Jean

What exactly is your problem? You should not need BIOS update for an OS install. >> Posting Guide << >> Drivers <<
Don't update BIOS unless absolutely needed for some other problem.

BIOS flash for KT4-Ultra FISR

Hi
I have a question about BIOS flashing for the KT4-Ultra FISR board. I currently have version 1.1 of the BIOS and was told that I need at least 1.2 to recognize my AthlonXP 2500+ correctly. (It currently shows as a 1.1Ghz athlon with the FSB set to 100MHz * 11 multiplier)
Is it worth moving up to 1.3 or 1.4 instead of just 1.2?
Thanks
KT4-Ultra FISR (MS6590 v1.1)
AthlonXP 2500+ (barton)
Zalman Copper flower heatsink
512 MB DDR333 RAM
Powercolor Radeon 9700 Pro
Antec Soho 1080 case (430W truepower supply)

I would have to guess BIOS may make a difference. Although XP2200+ and XP2500+ Barton both run at 1.83GHz, the BIOS may be confused as to the processor type if the Barton was released after the initial BIOS version. Only 2700+ and 2800+ were 333 FSB at the time of BIOS release maybe... then again, I am a useless tech... just a guess is all I have to offer.

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

How to Roll Back a Failed BIOS Update for my HP Compaq 6735s (467826R-999) Notebook

I have searched the community and HP pages for instructions to uninstall a BIOS Update in case it fails, and I haven't found the procedure.
My notebook is an HP Compaq 6735s (467826R-999) running the Windows 7 64 bit Professional SP1, and a BIOS revision level of HP "68GPP F.0E, 09/14/09".
Going to the Drivers/Downloads for this notebook
http://h20566.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdHome/?sp4ts.oid=3687622&spf_p...
I can see my old F.0E of 9/14/09 is super old because there is the F.21 dated 30-Jul-2012, GREAT!! I just have to be sure I can recover from a (possible) failed BIOS Update.
Oh yeah, one more thing: I'm not sure of the differences between the HPQFlash, the ROM Image, and the ROMPaq listed rows in the link above. Which should I run?
Thank you for your efforts!

Were your suggestions assuming that I had already run a BIOS update? I have not. I'm just trying to be sure that I can recover from a failed attempt! I plan to run the BIOS update on 9/20/13.
So, when I follow your suggestion of Restart, then "F2", my notebook goes into a System Diagnostics menu.
I spent some time in the F10, BIOS Setup, Maintenance screens but didn't find any option to RollBack. Again, I suppose it is because I'm running the original, F.0E version!
I also checked the link
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&dlc=en&docname=c02693833
you provided to Restore your BIOS, and the tips didn't work for me - at least not with the original version installed.
If I do take the plunge, which would you recommend:
HPQFlash
ROM Image
ROMPaq
Thank you!

Failed bios flashing...

Hi,
I did a bios flashin yesterday and... it failed.
The purpose for flashing a bios update was that I have problems with a new hard disk that is 60 Mb, and I though my old bios was not handling that size correctly.
I had taken advice from the MSI site (bios flashing procedure) and from this forum and also from a french site. I followed precisely every step of the procedure, including the MSI bios recovery procedure, but I now have a dead PC...
I saved the old bios file on a bootable diskette, and I also have the new bios file on a diskette (although I did not make the flashing from the diskette as recommended in this forum. I discovered the Live Update only after my flashing failed... The writing of the bios file went OK, but the screen froze right after the writing. When I rebooted for the Bios recovery procedure, the PC was already dead...
My mother board is MS 6154VA, the bios file is w6154VMS.240, the choipset is 692-596-W977 // VIA.
Can someone give me advice on what I can do next ? Can I have the bios chip flashed at a maintenance workshop ? Can I find and buy a bios chip ? Or do I have to buy a new mother board ?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
Christophe

Alright now, I'm back on my machine.
I had my bios chip flashed at an elctronics components shop, with the exact same file I had downloaded from MSI.
Let me give the details of the shop, as I think it is the only one in Paris doing that :
ECE
66, rue de Montreuil
75011 PARIS
Tel : 01 43 72 30 64.
They do that Tuesday thru Saturday, and the cost is really modest. You just have to bring your chip and your file (not .exe, not .zip).
What I still don't understand is why the flashing did not work at home, and why the bios recovery procedure from a diskette did not work.
Thanks for your help.
Chris :P :P :P
Thanks for your help.

BIOS chip for MSI H67MA-E35 (B3)

Is it possible to get a BIOS chip for this motherboard?
I've got this motherboard from a friend. He wanted to flash the BIOS but it failed. The board was fine before the flash but now it can't do anything anymore. It's just the BIOS that's bad.
The chip seems to be relatively easy to remove. I would like to solder on a new one.
Someone who can help me out? Thanks!!!

Its probably just a bricked board. I suggest you phone your local PC shops and find out which one has a ISP programmer. That way they can flash the latest, or any BIOS version for that matter, onto the current BIOS chip, ensuite. Here is an example of such a programmer http://www.xeltek.com/In-System-Programmers/SuperPro-IS01/
Fry's Electronics in the US seems to be quite helpful from what I understand. That is of course if you are from the US.
You can download the latest BIOS from the MSI site and take that along on a USB flash drive, and they will be able to flash it for you, at a fee of course, normally.
Else you can search the web for companies that specialise in sending you ready flashed BIOS chips, which will of course cost money as well and means you have to solder it onto the board.
Alternatively you can send the board to a MSI technical centre and they will also do the job.
You will have to weigh up the costs and time effort and decide.

DOS BIOS flash for MP Miini 1000, Vivienne Tam (HP Mini 1020TU) ?

Hi,
I have a gorgeous Vivienne Tam HP Mini 1000 (Mini 1020TU) that will not boot windows. I can access the BIOS settings and I can boot to a DOS USB stick.
So the normal BIOS flash is out of my reach. I need to do it from DOS. Yet though HP gives the instructions on how to do this, it doesn't seem to offer the actual ROM file or its loader.
Is there any way out of this dilemma?
Thanks,
Paul

Failed Bios Flash & No Boot

Hi I was directed to this site by Deathstalker in the hope you might be able to help.
MB - MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R
P4 2.8
512MB Matched 400Mhz Ultra PC3200 Golden Dragon DDR
Win XP Home SP1
Maxtor SATA 120gb
Maxtor IDE 40gb
Asus dvd/cd
Asus CD/RW
350 PS
Sorry thats about my ability as regards my system
My Problem:
I have been trying to ascertain if I had USB2 drivers on my board and was following the installlation CD that came with the board which informed me that I had to use MS Windows drivers. As I already had SP1 installed it was no help I therefore went to live update to try and update my drivers etc. This I did initially having to upload Live update 3. I then downloaded and installed the drivers for the MB and followed by downloading the new BIOS. On Flashing the BIOS I got the message "erasing" follwed by "programming" and Programming complete" and then "verifying ROM" and eventually "complete" On Boot I now get instructed to install the resue disk which I dont have. Confusingly I also get a flash of the Win ME boot screen - I have never had Win ME & the system was built from scratch & with WINXP installed drom the start. I have tried to rename the boot file but it is already called AMIBOOT. Do you have any other suggestions. - On revisiting the site courtesy of deathstalker I note there is a different AMI bios update for the FISR 2 I suspect I dowloaded and tried to install V2.0 but am not sure where to go from here
Thanks
GG

OK Have done that but I get the message
"Insert Rescue disk Can't find Sys.ini"
It would appear that the windows boot log has been erased - the folders are there but are empty.
Retracing my steps in trying to load the USB stuff I looked in a folder on the MSI master disk which directed me to run a Win3XPatch ( sorry not sure if that is the exact name the disk isn't here right now) This installed and in turn directed me to a file called win9x-me (again I think) which it lead me to believe the drivers were in - I'll try to get the disk back and post the exact file names
Thanks
