K8MM-V 7142 updated vga bios

i have a couple of system using k8mm-v board which has VIA/S3 UnichromePro IGP, recently we have upgraded most monitor to 17"/19" Wide screeen LCD, here the problem come, the onboard vga bios does not support those wxga resolution like 1440x900 or 1650x1024, google around found this is related to vga bios issue, not driver. i have updated those system to ver 1A bios, vga bios seems remain the unchanged. is there any service/beta bios available to fix this problem? tq.

these are only low end sempron powered (tats the whole point for all-in-one board) office station which only do basic office documents/spreadsheets work & internet browsing, nothing more nothing less. pretty no point buying new display card for this. even a 5 years old 845g onboard display driving the wide screen lcd without any problem (their vga bios updated with driver though).

What's with updating VGA bios? Is this necessary if your hardware is fine?

How much improvement does it do really? Does it make the images look better? Does the fps improve fignificantly, if at all? Does it make the card cooler? Some treat it like a wonder cure. Is it?

VGA BIOS update is only issued to address a particular issue, you should only update it if absolutely necessary!!
Updating your VGA BIOS won't make your card faster, run cooler, or make images look better. But if it goes wrong, it will make your card dead!

When updating vga bios nothing happens

Hi,
i've got MX440-8X on Athlon XP 1800+
I'm trying to update the bios using Live update. This could be necessary for the drivers to run under linux. (also problems there )
While running the utility everything apears to go well except the screen does not go blank like stated.
Afterwards it ask to restart the system, and when I run Liveupdate again it looks like nothing has happened because it offers the same update over again.
Does anybody have any idea what goes wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Thanx!

Is the BIOS Rev. of the card the same as what live updates has to offer. I bet that it is. Anyway there should not be any reason to update the BIOS on your video card unless you want problems. live update Suck's allways has allways will.

N560GTX-Ti OC problem after update VGA BIOS with Live Update 5 | SPLIT

Hello there. You people say the latest BIOS version for 560 OC is 201, but mine is totally different: 70.24.0a.00.00.
And I experience strange stuttering in all of the games. Maybe BIOS upgrade is needed?
S/N: 602-V238-16SB1101160663

Could you please give me the password for the attached file (201ti_Svet.rar)? I'm having occassional freezes with my GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr OC (system completely stops responding while display and sound freeze and it takes around 5 seconds for the PC to respond to reset button). This happens, for example, under Windows 7 in 3DMark11 Deep Sea Demo and in Windows XP randomly, but most often in web browser when watching Adobe Flash content with hardware acceleration enabled? I sincerely hope that BIOS update will help. Thank you in advance.

How to update VGA bios in MSI live update.

Hi,
I downloaded MSI live update and i saw that there is a new bios for my card and i downloaded it.
when i go to the folder with the DL-FILE i see that different things are downloaded included nvflash and the rom itself.
Now is my question, can i install the new bios though the MSIsetup in that folder or do i have to do it a different way? I just want to be sure because i don't want to do anything wrong and probably brick my card.
Thnx in advance.

I just flashed the new vbios via MSI live update yesterday, but I have GTX 970, not sure if the procedure is the same or not between different cards.
I just pressed the "download and install" arrow on the right side of vbios size, and live update only allowing me to choose vbios update at one time. After the download finished, it auto executed cmd under windows, and remind me to remove graphics card driver and continue (I did uninstall when I flashing my first card, but for the next one I just closed the nvidia experience), after press twice "Y" in the cmd, the flash began and then system just auto restarted. When my pc rebooted to windows again, I checked the vbios version, it appears the new one.
maybe i should film a video if i got chance

VGA Bios questions...

My VGA card is MSI FX5600-TD256.
Here are my questions:
1)Which is the latest Bios version for my card? My current version is 4.31.20.39.00. Is there a newer one? Searching through the web I found another version including this text in the read me file:
Quote
MSI GeForce FX BIOS
Name : GeForce FX 5600 BIOS
Version : 4.31.20.69.00 Ultra : No
2)Is it worth updating the bios? (I have restart problems probably caused by graphics card...)
3)Which is the proccess I have to follow to update it? (Just copy the .rom file in a disk and boot from that disk??)
4)Why in MSI site there are no VGA Bios files?
5)How do I back up my current VGA bios version?
Thanks in advance...

If MSI live Update finds no BIOS upgrade then there is no BIOS upgrade available. Even if there is one available, I don't recommend updating VGA BIOS unless there is a known documented issue relating to your problem. As far as I know there is no issue currently. I have not come across this issue in these forums either.
I don't have any answers to your restart problem since you did not provide any details of this restart problem. I cannot guarantee I would even if you did, but do so anyway.
I never update VGA BIOS's so I can't help you on backing up your current VGA BIOS. Someone else will have to step in for that.
The MSI site doesn't archive VGA BIOS files for the public. MSI only updates the original VGA BIOS from nVidia in circumstances such as when they decide to use a different RAM package than specified from nVidia spec. Oftentimes I see users reporting that MSI Live Update hosed their VGA BIOS after an update and in a few circumstances I have been able to request the original BIOS file.
Again, it's not worth updating the VGA BIOS as they get it right the first time and they hardly ever deviate from the original nVidia BIOS unless a certain RAM package is used for say an OEM version of the card or a performance version where they may use a faster package etc.
I recommend looking elsewhere for your restart problem.

Failed vga bios update

I used the liveupdate 3 to update my vga bios and when it rebooted the computer the videocard wont work now. I flipped the twinbios to the safe mode but nothing happened. When i put my old card in it works fine. Any suggestions?

Nope, I don't think so, not on the Dongle unless MSI is doing something I do not know about.
The Jumper is located on the card itself, please refer to the manual for the location.
If you have flashed the wrong BIOS:
The MSI cards have a dual bios feature.
Move the jumper to 2'nd position (there is only one jumper on the cards).
Boot with the secondary bios
Move jumper back while system is up and running
Use live update again (the backup bios is not being overwritten since you moved the jumper back).

VGA BIOS UPDATE

I have a MS-8866 Geforce4 mx 440 card. I am wondering if there is a vga bios update available. I still have the one comes with the card(I think 07.00T)

I recently used the live update software that came with my card and it said i could use a new VGA bios. Cautiously i continued by the letter and now I have a computer with a G4MX440SE-T that doesn't work. If any one out there knows a fix I'll will forever be grateful!

Where is msi vga bios update for GF4 Ti cards?

It seems like many other card vendors are updating the bios on their GF4 cards for better performance. My friend got a nice performance boost on his winfast from a bios update. Everytime I search on MSI Live Update (I have to update Live Update...whats up with so many versions of a simple download utility) it says there are no vga bios updates for my GF4/4400. I read on these forums that .25 (I think) was a disaster and trashed everybodys cards. Is there news on an improved update?

Msi are going to be last, and then if they release new bios for G4Ti cards.
Don´t you now they suck, I would sell my card right now if I could.
I'm using Asus DVCR for TV because Wincoder with my version did not support full screen window.
I got fantastic stupid tips from MSI support, because my MSI-CLOCK and 3D!Turbo don't work. And it still not work with XP.
If I had 1$ for hour that i had spent to this card trying to let work right. I could get better card from other vendor. I will never get anything with MSI stamp. I'ts better to spent more money and save time for better thinks.

VGA Bios update problem

I keep getting the error "Can not find the VGA BIOS State." when ever I try to update the bios. I can't find any information about it anywhere either.

Do not try to update your VGA BIOS, it is not like a motherboard. Live Update has been known to render cards useless. Consider yourself lucky, you may have had a brush with death.
Take a look or do a search of this forum and you will see what I mean.

Problem Updating my VGA BIOS

Hello.
I am having a problem updating my VGA Bios. I can download it, buyt when I go to install it, I get an error and it tries to send to Microsoft. It has something to do with the VGA Bios Flasher.
I have a GeForce FX 5900 TD-128. It shows the bios there, but has a problem installing the new version of the bios. I am not sure why.
Is there any reason why this is happening?

I am surprised there is even a BIOS revision for that card.
Generally there is no reason to update the VGA BIOS unless you have an exact reason to do so. If there is no documentation to support this from the vendor then I woould not touch it with a ten foot pole.
I have explained this in several posts already, if you'd like to search for it.
Perhaps it's a good reason that it won't work!
don't be the guinea pig

VGA bios - Geforce 4 MX 460 VTP

Hi
How download the VGA Bios for my Geforce 4 MX 460 VTP ???
thanks

you have to use Live Update to search any BIOS image. However, i dont recommend you to do this because Live update is known to make die video boards. If you have any problem related to BIOS, it is better to keep dealing with those problems instead of getting a death video card. Anyway if you really want to flash the BIOS, first look for a green jumper on the card. It is the TwinBIOS function, to recover original BIOS without losing the video card. If you dont have this jumper, then i STRONGLY recommend not to flash your video card BIOS!

List of VGA bios'

Im looking for a list of downloadable vga bios' (particularly for my 8850). the live update cant get a list of available bios' from the server. ive searched the site and i cant find it. i found a reference to this in an earlier post, but i want to see a list of all available bios'

Thoroughly, and testing worked only on the listed values. I tried vbetest -m 357 with no success. And I remembered to add 512 before typing the value in the command line.
I consider it strange, because, fbset makes it just work, but a bit late, and in effect during the bootup the screen first changes resolution to 1024x768, then, after running fbset, to 1440x900
