How to flash msi 280x?

hihi I have Msi 280x 3Gb. Bios Version: 015.040.000.003.003435
and i want to update to bios version: 015.042.000.000.003435
After doing everything correctly USB bootable drive and put all the files on USB drive. After runing it and typing
atiflash -f -p 0 MSI.R9280X.3072.131204.rom (which is the correct name for the file)
I got message: File not found MSI.R9280X.3072.131204.rom
Error 0fl01 press 1 to continue
After pressing 1 to continue i have an option to retype agean.

flashing just some random vbios can brick your card
if you want to check for possible updates
tell S/N of your card [you can skip the last 3 digits from it]
and save and upload somewhere you current vbios and give a link to it

How to Flash MSI bios - x99s gaming 7

using live update through windows - big NO NO as far as i understand.
downloading the Bios update file from MSI site - http://www.msi.com/support/mb/X99S-GAMING-7.html#down-bios
unpacking it and trying to run from dos mode from within windows (/CMD) - doesn't work.
it says not compatible with system (Probebly the 64bit windows).
trying through BIOS, M-flash, asks to be pointed to a USB key.
i tried extracting the BIOS update package from (http://www.msi.com/support/mb/X99S-GAMING-7.html#down-bios) to the USB key.
then back to bios, M-flash, pointed out to the USB key, chose the BIOS file "*.H40"- but then it says i don't have a file named - "ME" something.
so... how exactly one suppose to flash the bios ?
cheers.

You are now on thin ice vmanuelgm. This thread is not your personel "vmanuelgm is correct" thread but a tech support thread and support for the OP (not you) is offered.
The forum method is the safest way there is and also safer than MFlash that will at least only update ME as well if that is manually selected what is not required using the provided archive. I will not discuss with you about experience in flashing but you should maybe consider that I have quite some knowledge in that regard.
Secondly you were not partially but fully wrong as you didn't say h42 is there but you said h42 would be the latest. Anyway nobody asked for a beta so OP can consider it if he is not happy with the latest official as this is no beta thread like I also already said.
If this will continue off-topic in any way I will clean sweep this thread from reply #4 on.
You should contact MSI to post your MSI HQ as first flash option in manuals, and getting it burned in DVD roms along with mobos...
Until then, MSI official flash methods are what you know, and MSI HQ is not between them...
I am not on any ice, not posting anymore here, with such genious and democratic moderators...

How to flash MSI X58 Platinum to 1.1 since its a 4MB image and too big for 1.44?

Guys
I do not have a floppy drive, and have been using a 4GB flash disk that has a DOS 6.0 image on it that I downloaded from allbootdisks.
This image is only 1.4MB so I dont have enough room for the 4MB 1.1 Bios update for my X58 Platinum.
I spent 3 hours trying to figure out a way to do this, to no avail - and I hear the M-Flash is broken on 1.0.
Unfortunately I cant access my CD-ROM either to try and load the flash from there once booted.
Does anyone know how I can flash to 1.1? Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot!

well you should have plenty of room if its 4GB and youve only used 1.4mb
this should help you https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0

How to flash MSI 6970 Lightning

Hi,
I recently contacted msi support about a performance bios issue with my MSI 6970 lightning. They emailed me 3 files, an atiflash file, and atiflash application file, and the update bios.bin file. They also e-mailed me directions but they're in japanese. Can anyone clarify what I need to do in order to re-flash my MSI 6970 ATI Lightning card? THanks!

No the card runs @ 940mhz core clock, the issue I was having was when I set the card profile to performance from silent the display wouldn't work. They sent me the updated bios to fix this issue but the directions are in japanese and when I translated them via google I didn't understand what they were saying to do.
***EDIT After some google research I think I have the basic idea... please let me know if i'm correct.
Step 1: Create a bootable MS-DOS Drive(Either CD or USB)
Step 2: Unzip the ATI Flash files and updated bios to the drive
Step 3: Reboot, go to bios, set the MS DOS drive to boot priority 1
Step 4: In DOS command type "atiflash -p 0 biosname.rom" In my case it would "atiflash -p 0 TV237MS.102"
The bios update they sent me ends with .102 instead of .rom.. that an issue?

How to Flash MSI Guides.
There are different ways to flash the bios but to keep things simple will concentrate on the MSI Official methods :-
1) Award Flash BIOS Procedure 98/ME
This method assumes access to hd formatted using FAT32 & therefore readable by DOS.
2) Flashing the BIOS for Users using NON FAT file system
For use with Linux based & NTFS File systems - HD Not readable from DOS. Using this procedure the the files are copied to the virtual drive before running the flash utility. So the flash effectively is all done in memory.
This will be the method used by the majority of us. So:-
Follow the instructions in the last link (Thanks Bas)
The details below are additional checks/notes referring to the steps in Bas's guide, which may be useful.
Essential
2) Know Your model number - Is of increased Importance for NEO4 users - We have already seen instances of this.
5-1) Ensure you have a Boot Floppy with CD suport (this creates the Virtual drive used in the process) If you haven't got such
a boot disc see BootrDisc.com link in Rescources.
5-2) B4 booting floppy - Enter Bios & Load Optimised Defaults - To ensure that bios is returned to stock & any overclocking is
turned off.
7) If you miss the ramdrive letter the last DOS message will show your CD drive letter. The Ramdrive is the letter preceeding
the CD Drive. EG CD = D Ramdrive = C
Optional - Gives better control of procedure
11) Use of Switch command options with AWFL833C.EXE /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/r TargetBios.file
Personnaly I use the switches as does Syar :-
Per Syar2003 Iv'e always used :
AWFL833D W7030NMS.xxx /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/r
or
AWFL833D W7030NMS.xxx /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/f/r
And a hard reset with jumper when done .
For a more detailed explanation of switches see :-
Syar's Bios Switch Explained
or Syar's Bios Collection - Flashing.txt
See Also Using a Batch File to Automate bios flash
12) after flash , enter Bios & load optimized defaults , then save + exit with no other change .
That way you have a fresh system with a fresh non problematic dmi-pool and user settings .
After this Enter Bios & Re-enter your custom settings.
From Syar - Which one do I do first?
Thanks to Bas & Syar for the majority of info in this guide

FLASH PREPARATION
Always Load Optimised defaults & Save b4 flashing - NEVER FLASH When running an OC or Unstable.
If you need to flash & are worried about stability - run with a single module & test it it memtest 1st.
FLASH METHODS
1) Winflash (Syar2003) -
Winflash is safe to use if your windows and pc is stable .
How to get it Download & install MSI Live Update. Winflash is located "C:\Program Files\MSI\Live Update 3\FlashUty\Award
And as with dos flash reset bios and any overclocking to "load optimized bios default" + save, before and after flashing.
After winflash is finished it ask if you want to reboot - answer no , and shutdown (turn off) windows/pc instead .
After that disconnect the PSU's AC and reset the cmos with the jumper on the board .
This is how I use it , - safest way .
Note ! Place checkmarks on bootblock / dmi area /update all /reset cmos

MSI 280X Voltage Locked - Help Please

hi guys
I purchased an MSI 280X Gaming OC GFX and would like to undervolt it
I read on forums to try this bios: techpowerup.com/vgabios/146769/msi-r9280x-3072-131009.html
which i did with ATIflash in DOS, i switched to position 2 on the small switch (switch left direction to back of case), it flashed and said successful but when i boot its just a black screen and no output
when i put the switch back to position 1 (switch right direction to front of case) it works fine with the original bios (015.042.000.003.000000 )
any ideas why i cant boot from switch position 2 with an older bios? is my card faulty?
my card s/n is: 602-v277-44sb13121xxxx
my aim is to flash an older bios so i can get voltage control in After Burner
many thanks!

Don't know. Ask MSI: >>How to contact MSI.<<
There is nother vbios supporting more features than current vbios TV277MH.380 you provided. To have backup simply flash it on the bricked one. If you can boot your system with onboard/integrated gpu or you have an old spare vga for display boot with the R9 280x switched to the bricked vbios and flash the vbios with your saved one.
That's great. Do you a link to this other vbios please?

How to flash vBIOS GX60 Destroyer

I have a problem with my gx60 and I think it's a VBios bug, also I found the MSI tutorial to flash the vbios with DOS but when I try to execute the fvbios.bat, it says atiflash.exe -p 0 -f wrong command or file, and if I try to execute atiflash.exe it shows me the commands and options of that exe, so I couldn't flash the vBios.
So if someone knows how to flash the vBios please help.

There are few others talk about once they update the vbios, the memory clock is downclocking from 1250 to 900, so I think you shouldn't update your vbios since the problem doesn't really related to the vbios.

What we need - a guide on how to flash bios, setup bios, and raid

Ok, a topic I see very often on many forums, and several times here, is the following; How to flash bios, how to setup the bios settings, and how to setup the raid array, and then setup the bios to boot from the raid array. Could we perhaps pull our heads togheter and write a detailed guide on these three topics, taking into account how to do it on the most used (commonly written about) MSI boards? and perhaps put as a sticky?
It would help many novice users trying to deal with these problems. I am willing to write on the subject of flashing bios on the MSI K8N SLI Platinum and how to install a Bios Saviour.

GTX 580 Twin Frozr II O/C - confused by bios version number, and how to flash

Hi, my first post here. But I've been reading a bit here. Still, I get confused by this whole vga bios thing, version numbers and how to flash... Ok, so here's my situation:
I have two PC's. Both with one MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 card inside. It seems to me that both are working according to specifications, GPU-Z reports:
GPU clock 800 Mhz, Memory 1024 Mhz, Shader 1600 Mhz for the borth of them.
Now, one of them seems not to be totally stable (this is the newest I bought a few days ago). It locks up/crashes in some games. The other seems ok, I've been having that one for a while. Could this be a GPU core voltage problem? GPU-Z reports for the both of them:
VDDC 0.955 v
I've tried running MSI afterburner, changing core voltage to 1025, and in afterburner settings enable "Force constant voltage". Still, GPU-Z, which I keep running at the same time, still reports only 0.955. I thought this setting in Afterburner would change voltage to 1.025? This situation is for both the old one and the new one.
Now to the Bios "problem".
The newest card (the not so stable one) reports through GPU-Z: Bios Version 70.10.20.00.01
The oldest (stable) card: Bios Version 70.10.17.00.01
So... which one has the newest bios? Seems to me it is the newest card.
BUT - when running MSI Live Update 5 (newest version) it says for both the cards that they have the the newest bios version, and there's no need to upgrade??
SO - I go to the MSI webpage: http://no.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Twin-Frozr-II-OC.html#?div=BIOS to download the newest bios manually, just in case.. But there it gets more confusing. The Bios version found there is :NV255MS.104(.zip).
And also, on that page I can not find how to use that file. Extracting it just gives me the file NV255MS.104 and no extension.
So, which bios is the newest one? 70.10.20.00.01 (the highest number, in the new card, but not stable in some games), 70.10.17.00.01 (in my old card, but seems stable in the games I've tried), or NV255.104 (which I don't know how to use).
I've flashed my main board bios many times over the years in various set ups, the bios on two different SSD disks and so on.. never had a problem with that, or finding out if I have the correct bios, how to do it and so on.
Maybe I'm stupid, but this MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 bios thing confuses me a lot... So, how do I solve this situation?

I am also interested in the answer as I have 2 MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC cards. I can find the latest BIOS file "NV801MS.KG4.zip" and know the version is "KG4". But how do you relate this to the current BIOS version Afterburner or GPU-Z provides? The version they each provide is "70.10.17.00.01" for both cards. The only other way to determine if they are up to date is to install and run MSI Live Update. MSI Live Update responds that they are up to date with no current version or online version information on the Live Update tab. At least the information on the Home tab states the same VGA BIOS version as GPU-Z and Afterburner. I can can only assume that the BIOS is updated by using MSI Live Update.
Also just for the additional information GPU-Z displays my VDDC as 1.039 briefly then 0.995 constantly when switching between cards. I actually have the cards set to 1.050 with Afterburner to be stable when running Crysis 2 DX11 updates.

How to flash ? nx6800 ultra

as above, please help me..
im sick of my slow 6800ultra
please help :(
steps on how to flash it
thanks in advance

If you look up some of the 6800 Ultra threads, you will get a list of these problems and the way to sort them, Also it would Really helpful if you could give a list of your computer specs....
- live update doesnt detect my card
Everyone has this, its just that MSI have not updated there Live update for the card yet!
- ingame videoplayback error (choppy) [i.e farcry begining]
Your running Bios 14 which in alot of case the bios is faulty so change to bios 15, look on the forums to where to get this and install it, Also sound like you need to use a program called driver cleaner and reinstall a fresh set of the newest drivers...
- mood swing speeds (sometimes fast sometimes slow)
same again, bios change and drivers to resolve this
- d.o.t (dynamic overclocking technology) doesnt work (infact hangs my com)
Bios and drivers again
- doesnt work with some games (doom 3.. monsters are so colourfully scary)
hehe same answer
- sometimes after alt-tabbing, displayed graphics is choppy [fuzzy] (like as if someone sneezed noodles out really hard and it hit the screen, leaving imprints)
i had this to with bios 14, sorted when i got bios 15
- when i finally get to run 3dmark , the score for video card itself is 7000 +
LOL that not very good but that depends on what your computer specs are, i get around 12132 with a Athlon 3200+ 1g ram
here are some link on the issues your having
6800 Ultra Most stable graphics card ive ever owned
Geforce NX6800 Ultra Problems
Msi 6800 Ultra 100% but Flash = 110% ?
Hope this help! But do flash you bios... am hoping someone more confident will show you how, as am not confident to give instructions in that kind of stuff..

Flash msi install failing

I have a few workstations on our network that are having install issues with flash msi files. I have run the flash removal utitlity, updated windows installer to the latest version (4.5 for XP), unregistered/re-registered windows installer, registered vbscript.dll via command prompt, run ccleaners registry repair and still am getting the error 'Error 2753 the file is not marked for installation' when I run the .msi. If I download and run the .exe for flash it succeeds. I normally install flash via Group Policy, which is why I need the .msi to work. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

We're actually investigating this problem right now. Would you be willing to do a desktop sharing session with one of our engineers? If so, please contact me directly at [email protected]
Thanks,

MSI 280x max temp is too high

hi,
I just got 2 second hand MSI 280x from someone. Quickly ran FurMark on these cards (1 after another, not crossfire) and their temperature both pass 95+ celsius degree at 100% fan speed. Both cards in mint condition, only few dust on the heatsink.
Thinking the heat problem may come from dry thermal compound, I apply some Noctua NT-H1 to one of those cards and its temperature never pass 85 celsius degree. This seems still little too high because this review shows max temp of such card is well under 80C www. tomshardware. com/reviews/radeon-r9-280x-third-party-round-up,3655-4.html
What could go wrong and How I can make these cards cooler?
Thanks

You can't compare reviews to your real life experience in a working machine instead of an open system used for short benachmark sessions. Temperature results are individual and as said before card now performs well with new paste.
