@Madfaze20 - just make sure that any bios you get is for correct MB - CF is 7388 vs Platinum is 7376.
@Sake - do you have a beta bios for K9A2 CF-F ?
thanks ill keep that in mind, there is 1.21 on their ftp site

Thx to bosskiller in above topic.
Here is BIOS 121 for K9A2 CF-F that should remove message "PS/2 Mouse not found" for those who need.
Use it at own risk.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=112568.0;attach=3726
BTW Also running a 5000+ Black Editon in a K9A2CF-F. With Kingston 2x 1GB DDR2 800 ValueRAM running stabil from day one.
so were running the same setup, so how's your OC?

  • SOLVED - BIOS UPDATE "SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN the NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT for this VERSION of HPQflash

    If you get infamous error when updating HP Portables (laptops/notebooks/ netbooks) BIOS within Windows:
    "SYSTEM DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NECESSARY WMI SUPPORT FOR THIS VERSION OF HPQFLASH":
    I am posting a solution found for own business laptop (HP 8540W & 8760W) so WebSearch engines index/register it in a few days - future sufferers come here and get a SOLUTION, finally.  Disreagrd previous "experts" advises, they don't work 100% & pity on TechSupport folks who get HP paychecks yet don't know products their co. designs/manufactures (on deep Technical level):
    Below is a SOLUTION (WORKING) !
    Go into Services (Run "services.msc" or get there thru ControlPanel-->AdminTools-->), find following 2 services ==> make sure they're running, chances are they're NOT (as in my case I keep them disabled unless need running):
    1) "HP Software Framework"
    2) "HP Service" [no typo - a real plain name]
    If not running, set Properties-->Manual and click "Start", make sure both are running.
    Rerun BIOS updater, choose option for "Within Windows" or something to that effect (using HPQ/ROMpaq updater), rather than "create USB BootDisk on Key", this time it should work without the hassle of a BootDisk creation.
    Should work from within Windows environment.
    Notes:
    a) Likely only one (1) service is responsible - namely "HP Software Framework" for HPQ Updater to fail, but doesn't hurt to reenable/restart both services.
    I in fact am responding to other customers who elect to Update BIOS within Windows, perhaps oldfashioned but to me Boot Updater is more natural & always works regardless of WMI Support.
    b) After done, don't forget:
    *) Recheck BIOS settings - update may've added new and/or changed old, so rescan tobe sure.
    **) Go BACK into Windows-->Services.msc & redisable both aforementioned Services if were originally disabled; or you're a computer Pro, you know what you're doing & like me keep all HP services disabled.  The ones we got on EliteBook 8760W are pests consuming system resources, you just enable "Software Framework" when occasional issues emerge with HP softupdate (typically no issues) & redisable after use, rest of services are bloatware - some attempt to overrun Windows Wireless console, some seekout HP Networked printers (Ethernet, Wireless, but not USB), some do this & that - I study/know which one does what and decided to disable all. This is called a "minimalist" philosophy & turns your machine into a fast beast, I recently sold a very obsolete 4-year laptop which however handles 3DMCAD & complex designs/simulations, better new machines out fo a store, as new machines are loaded w/bloatware chocking down resources.
    BUT nobody is requiring you to disable anything though.
    The solution merely states the fact:
    These 2 (or 1) services when not running halt BIOS Update "within Windows" (you can still run "BootDisk option", however, if preferred).
    Simply restartung them solves your problem.  Usually
    Ya'll have a good day and enjoy!
    ===========
    BELOW ARE IMPORTANT WARNINGS:
    1) IF YOUR BIOS UPDATE STILL FAILS, SOME OTHER PIECE IN WMI SUPPORT IS MISSING - IN MY CASE WAS THESE 2 SERVICES, BUT THERE'S REMOTE POSSIBILITY SOMETHING ELSE MIGHT BLOCK UPDATER.  DON'T WASTE TIME & CHOOSE "USB/BootDisk" options instead
    2) Once BIOS updater does its job, will ask to auto-restart - let it go on & complete, it will self-shutdown (click "Next" to skip 60-second timer), then do NOT turn it on manually!, wait - it'll turn on by itself in 15 seconds, let it boot into Windows, you're done!
    3) WARNING: close other apps before proceeding, be 100% sure your ACpower won't be interrupted or better yet - make sure battery is in/charged (so if ACpower accidentally disconnects, you're autoswitched onto battery) b/c power loss may result in severe damage to internal hardware.  In the old days it'd result in fatal damage, these days powerloss would still result in a major repair (ROM chip corruption).
    So to summarize: those 2 services I specified, are often responsible for whether HPQ/ROMpaq will or won't run.
    Other causes possible, but I've not witnessed; and if so - choose BootDisk option.

    I was just wondering if anyone has any info if MSI will make a more robust bios after 1.5 that will support overclocking of CPU voltages. As it is I can only get 2.8 GHZ on my phenom 9850  because of the inability to up CPU voltages.My friend has the newest ASUS board which has a much better bios and he's been able to overclock his 9850 to 3.36 stable with almost identical hardware to mine.
    If you are refering to the newest 790GX boards: they will simply overclock the CPU higher than a 790FX board will, because of the ACC (Advanced Clock Calibration) function of the new SB750 southbridge. Not really a matter of BIOS options, but a matter of a newer chipset...
    You would probably match the results of the new ASUS board using the new MSI board, the DKA790GX Platinum for example...

  • Windows Vista 64 bit and bios update how? K9A2

    OK Is there anyway to really update my bios so I can use my Phenom II if I'm running Vista 64? Ive read the live update info and I'm not sure that works with the 64 bit vista. The i read about the flash drive bios update and I'm not sure that's 64 bit compatible. As a side note why don't they have liveupdate 64bit compatible yet? Its been out for some time and windows 7 will be 64 bit only I would think.

    Sadly MSI hasn't yet supplied us with a 64-bit version of LiveUpdate.
    Personally I've been using AMI's Windows Flash Utility AFUWIN.exe several times. Works flawlessly even when running Vista x64.

  • IdeaPad U260 official bios update freezes computer

    My IdeaPad U260 stopped charging battery. It just say "plugged in, not charging". I tried new battery - no change. I tried different charging cable - no change. I tried new windows 8.1 - no change. Now I would like to try to update bios, as some forums on internet suggests. So I installed back my original windows home premium x64 and downloaded from lenovo support utility for bios update for U260 windows 7 x64.
    And it does not work! it unpacks some files and then freezes whole computer. So please, would you be so kind as to guide me how to update bios on my U260 win 7 home premium x64?

    Hi Dottore,
    Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
    I’m sorry to hear that the Battery is not getting charged in your U260 Laptop even after re-installing the OS Operating System) also checking with the other new battery the issue persists, as the BIOS update is not installing. This issue will occur if and only if the BIOS update is installed in normal user profile and not the Administrator user profile please let me know if you are using the “Normal User Profile” or “Administrator Profile”.
    If you are using the administrator profile and the issue is same, install the driver by right clicking on the downloaded BIOS update file and select “Run as administrator” option.
    Do post us back if the issue persists.

  • Thinkpad T440s BIOS update via PXE fails with "invalid system disk"

    Hi,
    I'm trying to boot via PXE to the BIOS 2.24 update ISO image because the T440s comes without a DVD drive. The Thinkpads are running RHEL 6.5 workstation installed. I'm using syslinux 6.02 and the following menu entry:
    label lenovo_t440s
        menu label Lenovo Thinkpad T440s BIOS 2.24 Update
        kernel memdisk
        append initrd=lenovo/t440s/gjuj11us.iso iso
    The ISO gets loaded via TFTP and seems to boot, but then an error message appears:
    Loading boot sector... booting...
    Lenovo Group Limited
    Invalid system disk
    Replace the disk, and then press any key.
    The Thinkpads come with the following SSD drive: SAMSUNG MZ7TD256HAFV-000L9.
    Anyone had luck with updating BIOS via PXE boot?
    We also have Thinkpads T430s. There the BIOS update ISO image loads, displays the menu, but when one presses "update firmware" then it freezes.
    Regards,
    Bernd

    Same behaviour when I try without PXE and load memdisk and ISO file directly via GRUB using this entry in /boot/grub/grub.conf:
    title ThinkPad BIOS Update
    root (hd0,1)
    kernel /memdisk iso
    initrd /gjuj11us.iso

  • Troubles in dual boot system after BIOS update

    Hello:
    PC: Thinkpad T500
    1. I had for one year Linux Fedora 10 and Vista Ultimate working in dual boot with Grub, no problems at all.
    Three days ago Lenovo support recommended I update my BIOS from 2.07 to 3.12, as I had some intermitent Sleep problems in Vista. Then my problems started.
    2. First, after updating the BIOS from Vista (dowloaded the exe, double clicked it, gone through the whole sequence with no errors), upon the first restart, the screen was black and I couldn't get in BIOS with F1 and the same happened during other power-off/power on sequences.
    3. Now, I've discovered that the best I can do is wait for 10 min after restart in order to get a prompt from ThinkVantage, then Grub boots only the Linux system which works OK.
    4. I can't get the dual boot message from Grub, and I can't get any Windows DVD to be taken at boot (I've got full backups from both Control Panel and from ThinkAdvantage backup facility) in order to ru Windows repair.
    5. I can go during the ThinkAdvantage to BIOS, the new version seems there (not sure if completely operational), but whey can't I see it with F1?
    Is the presence of ThinkAdvantage something special in dual-boot systems or wrt to the BIOS install? Should I do something special about it? I just don't know.
    Any ideas?

    Strange.  I don't have a clue, but I have seen posts here that recoverd from strangeness after a BIOS update by unplugging from the AC mains, removing the battery, and then pressing the power button several times.  The last time, hold the button for 10 seconds or so.
    That is really a total WAG, but maybe worth a try.
    Out of curiousity, what do you see when grub finally loads.  I take it that it isn't your original boot menu.  Do you have grub installed in the MBR, the boot sector of the Linux partition, or both?  Is the Linux partition (or Linux boot partition if you have boot + root) the 1st one on the drive, or _after_ the vista partition.
    [edit] You didn't ask, but IMNSHO multibooting a modern laptop isn't really the easiest way to run multiple OSs.  I run Linux, Solaris, and OS X in VMs under Win 7 on my T400.  They run well, and that approach avoids issues like you are having.  The Lenovo ThinkVantage boot-time stuff and R&R are rather fragile.  Changes in partitioning and MBR configuration can break them.   BIOS and other updates, and Windows repairs can break the multi-boot setup.
    There are several ways to set up VMs, but VMWare Player is what I use.  The latest version is free and quite usable.

  • System Update Flash BIOS Update "Did not install"

    Twice now I have experienced a problem using TVSU to update BIOS (Versions 1.58.0.0 and 1.59.0.0) in my ThinkCentre M92p.  Each time the BIOS installs, but the message in the TVSU System Update "View installation history" window shows the Status as "Did not install."  What could be causing this?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Support is clueless, understood.
    where the version 1.58/1.59 comes from , I have no idea
    Bios doc states:
    9. You may see a POST error "0162: Setup data integrity check    
       failure" after reboot. It is a normal behavior. Press F1 to     
       enter BIOS Setup Utility. If you are using WIN8 64-bit OS,    
       change the Exit->OS Optimized Defaults to "Enabled", otherwise, 
       please change it to "Disabled". At last, press F10 to save     
       your settings.
    ==
    If you installed this standalone, which you should.  Your will probably see a failure  0162 which is normal per documentation. If this a Fail condition, i  dont know. My Bios  is older.
    ==
    I  am amazed to see su offer a bios update. ( power goes out, battery dead on laptop).  This is a very senstitive update. .....The reposistory stuff  I posted is just to peruse, look for 1.58. This is the SU package( written in xml.  ). Not the acutal update.
    I extracted your Flash code. No 1.58 anywhere.
    IE,
    download package for SU to use.. <wax (xml)
    then actual download of package.  What you can download manualy is not the same software Su is given.
    ==
    Hope this helps. ? aways. Dont worry about what .xml is.   Your  system SU aint working right for bios.
    ==
    Simpler:
    SU is given a xml file (text), to process to determine if update is needed.
    Then it downloads the update, if you choose to install it.
    Your symptom shows 2 versions of BIOS 1.58/1.59 did not install.   Crazy. 
    ==
    Maybe it got thru the xml package, and installed. then 0162.  It worked correctly, but posted WRONG on your SU history. Either or, what you see on your screen sucks. 1.58/1.59, etc.

    Software Update: Java for OS X 2013-002 1.0
    This update, upon booting, has caused my disk space to fill up and my system freezes up. The same happens to my coworker's computer. We both watch the remaining disk space decrease and the "spinning rainbow appears" and we must restart. What do we do?

    First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so.
    Use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Proceed further only if the problem hasn't been solved.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

    Hi.
    Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
    bios-20070709111839.zip
    After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
    I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
    What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
    Thanks in advance
    MAT

    > Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
    What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
    You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
    Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
    But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
    Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
    Good luck

  • Last software update of OS X Lion: the system freezes before the end.

    I was doing the last update of OS X Lion on a MacBook Pro (10.7.3). Before the end of the process, the system freezed. The only solution was the off button of the desktop. But after it was impossible to open it again. I had to restore OS X from the Time Machine backup. Can you help me? What is the problem? What do I have to do?

    Just fixed this myself.
    SWUPD is expecting a directory within the one you chose, called "html".
    Example: /Volumes/XSAN/SWUPD/html
    It will not create "html" if the directory doesn't exist.
    Create the folder "html" then in terminal do this:
    sudo chown -R _softwareupdate:_softwareupdate /path/to/the/folder
    Example: sudo chown -R _softwareupdate:_softwareupate /Volumes/XSAN/SWUPD
    ##do not include/html. the -R means recursive and forces the same ownership on all contained directories.

  • HP Notebook System BIOS Update (AMD Processor)

    Hello,
    I was looking through my updates and everything to make sure my computer is working to it's fullest. I noticed there was a recommended update that I should follow through with which is the HP Notebook System BIOS Update (AMD Processor), and I've download it and installed it, then afterwards, my computer told me that I had to restart it, which I did. I agreed to update it but it keeps popping up in the suggested updates and I've tried multiple times to do it. It never seems to work! 
    Please help.

    Here is a direct link to the F.36 BIOS which is the latest. Have you tried downloading it and manually launching it rather than using the HP Update utitlity?

    Make sure you have a charged battery and AC plugged in. Let us know what happens. 
    You might also try going into the BIOS (F10) as you power up and check the existing BIOS version. You may already have F.36.
