Live Update (Bios 1.x to 1.6). Boot problems

I have my setup running with Win XP Pro SP-1 for the last month or so. I just decided to do a live update run. It said that I should update my bios to 1.6.
After going through the process (Windows based non-Dos). The system was rebooted. Now, it just refuses to load Windows.
Infact, it refuses to do anything after initial post.
I get past the initial test (post) and get to the part where you can press TAB to get to RAID setup (I think). I can hit Delete to get to the BIOS features.
BUT, it does not load Windows.
The system just goes to a blank screen.
I tried to use Win XP to install XP again.... nothing
I tried to use a bootable floppy to check if it worked... nothing
I used Linux CDs to see if they work... nothing.
Nothing to do with my CD-RW drive, my HD and my floppy works.
CTRL-HOME method does nothing...
I am clueless as to what happened. This makes no sense.

Slight error in my system specs.
It is a Maxtor Diamond Max 9 (120gigs and 2mb cache).
I tried different settings. If I set the drive on a differen cable (either primary or secondary) and set it as Master. The CD ROM does not work.
However, if I set the drive as Cable select or slave... the CD rom works. It tries to install XP..
It says
Press any key to start....... blah blah
Checking your system configuration....
Then blank screen.
So here is what happens.
1. If NO HD... the Windows CD will load and attempt to install. Going through the section asking for pressing F6 for ASR etc.
2. If HD as Master (on either cable). CDROM does not kick in at all. Despite it being set as first boot device.
3. If HD set as Slave or Cable select. CD ROM kicks in, But does not go into the blue install screen for XP. Just blank screen after it checks for system configuration.

Z77A-G43 login loop after Live update BIOS to V25.1

Hi,
Z77A-G43 windows login loop after Live update BIOS to V25.1
I'm able to see the BIOS menu. But when i continue to login to windows, it loops.
i would like to know on how to proceed on this. I tried safemode and i was able to login.
I cannot find the clear cmos jumper on this board.
Appreciate your response on this one. Thanks!
edit: I just tried removing the board battery. But still encountering the same issue.
-Paul

There is no such BIOS version for this board.
The last BIOS is v2.11 see here http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z77A-G43.html#/?div=BIOS
As for the CMOS jumper. This must be the most stupid saving that MSI has ever done. They leave out the jumper, obviously in an effort to save costs.
Check your manual to find the location of the clear CMOS pins. Then you need to short these with a jumper from somewhere else or use a metal object to connect the pins.

945p neo3 Problem after live update bios

Hi,
After I made the update trought live update, my computer doesn't start, I don't know what to do?
When I restarted it only shows the logo, if I hit DEL or TAB keys it shows to the start of the boot but it freezes.
I already clear the cmos, did anything that i had found on this forum, but nothing works.
I don't have the chance of doing anything because it won't gets the part to enter in bios.
It only appears in the screen thre lines:
AMIBIOS 2005.....
MSI 945PL Neo A7236IMS V1.9 Date: 08/07/06 08:05:52
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13 GHz , Speed:
and nothing else appears.
One of the things that is very strange is if my board is a 945p neo3 why it happears 945 pl neo, did the live update flash my motherboard with a wrong bios version????
is what it looks.
Any ideas to fix this, if there is a fix?
I don't see anything, because the motherboard don't even reaches the process of boot, so I can't try to flash a other version of bios because the process never reaches the time to boot from floppy, usb, disk..
HELP PLEASE,
Thanks in advance,
Nuno

"Thanks for the ISO File, everything is now correct, the problem with the memory was related with checksum, now happears the 4096 MB."
Nope they was 2 separate problems, solved with one hit.
"About I couln't start your application, whith the historial of your application and antivirus that I saw on the post about it, i got suspecious right away of my antivirus solution.
So to help, I uninstall and after that i could run it, I use Symantec Endpoint Proctection, is the corporate solution from symantec that is replacing the old one known as SAV - Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition. I didn't find any message in the logs of it, but the fact is that if I have this solution installed I could not run USB tool, if I Uninstall I could run it."
Probably same resource conflict with your AV (some kind of system restriction) which cause Tool unable to proceed properly and terminating itself.
Can't duplicate your issue. I was using SAV - Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition(Up to date) till now and Tool perform well,
Just installed and updated Symantec Endpoint Protection (Updated to latest definition with all protection activated) and the Tool perform well as expected too.
"now happears the 4096 MB"
Nice

Don't use Live Update, especially for UEFI/BIOS flashes. Please use the forum's method;

K8N Neo Series - update bios 1.4 to 2.1 - SATA problem

- i have K8N Neo-FSR (7030) with two SATA ports.
- i update bios from ver 1.4 to 2.1
- after restart, my bios show FOUR SATA ports, and on welcome screen is write "K8N Neo Platinum"
- difrent betwen K8N Neo-FSR and K8N Neo Platinum is in additive two SATA Ports
- is this NORMAL???
- how i can fix it?
Thanks for solution

BE careful in your statement Stick .
Quite a few with K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030) has gotten their board ruined (no-post) over the last weeks
cause by LiveUpdate giving out a wrong MS-7030 bios .
There is three 7030 which use different bioses and is identified on the bios extension name .
MS-7030 versions 1.0 to 2.22 is for the 1'st generation (Neo Platinum and FSR)
The other two have extension 7030.5xx and 7030.7xx and is for Neo-V and Neo V 2.0 .
Think it's a really bad call from MSI to use the same MS number for seperate boards that completely
rely on "their own" bios ,and at the same time autoprovide their bios files through the liveupdate server .
do all of those BIOSes have the same BIOS string ID?

Latest software update 10.3.1.1565 Start up boot problems

This is really getting very annoying and very unprofessional.
After browsing all solutions, the problem of not being able to properly start your phone seems to be linked to the new software update and can only be solved by removing your battery more than one time ( 3 times). Eevry day need to remove the battery several times before being able to use my smartphone.
I am waiting for the re-release of the previous software version, because this costs me too much time and annoyance.
Apart from all other problems linked to this version.
When is BB (RIM) taking action ? with a re-release of the 'old"version that worked just fine.

Hello,
BB has released about 3 OS versions in the last week or so. However, it remains in the control of the carriers if/when to release those to their end users. If you want to jump the queue, you can do so via Sachesi or (my recommendation) AutoLoader.
Good luck!

Bios update hung up, now system does not boot

Hi,
I just got my new system 2 says ago and installed a win 8.1 on it. My pc froze at random so I checked the website and saw that there was a bios update saying windows 8 users should update.
I downloaded the file, ran it and it hung up in the middle, I left it for about an hour and it was still stuck there...I reset the pc and boom, it wont boot up. It just gives 2 consecutive beeps every 5-10 seconds or so. Is my mobo dead? Please help! I JUST bought this case...
EDIT:
Sorry I was so upset that I even forgot to mention my mobo model:
Mobo: 990FXA-GD80
Bios version: I don't know!
CPU: AMD 8350
PSU: 630 thermaltake
HDD: 1 TB seagate
RAM: 8 gb kingstone
VGA: Sapphire 280X

msi have been told about Live update BIOS Updates being bad many times but they keep it in !
you have 3 options!
1: have a shop that can do SPI BIOS flashes to direct flash the BIOS chip to revive the board!
2: RMA it to MSI for them to re-flash the board!
3: get a new board!
1+2 or the cheapest routes to take! 3 is more expensive!
(DO NOT USE LIVE UPDATE its dangerous as it does BIOS flashes in a uncontrolled environment (Windows) as there is other data and processes active) <-- if you do use live update just use the download function only and perform BIOS flashes in M-Flash, DOS or using the forum flasher as there much safer!

BIG PROBLEM after Live Update installed

I installed the live update and now my system has crashed!
During my initial set up of this system I was having overheating issues. I stopped this by selecting the Advanced preset setting in the BIOS.
Well after installing the Live update the system restarted and installed the recommended updates for the mobo. I once again restarted the system only to have it shut doen within 30 - 40 seconds (never even got Windows to completely boot). I tried several times with the same outcome. I then remembered the over heating issue I had during the build. I looked back here to see how I solved the problem. I tried to preform the same steps I took earlier (going into BIOS and setting the advanced preset) each time being shut down before being able to accomplish the task. I am now left with a stone cold quiet system! I get the power switch to light up on the case and 2 of the LED's on the board turm blue. I have tried the mobo power button and the reset button with no luck!
Thoughts?

Why you didn't tell this until now?
You tell that you've installed Live Update, not mention that you've proceed with BIOS update too...
Repeat again >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed,
and leave 1 memory stick in 1st dimm, then try to boot
My apologies, you are correct. In the Live updates, BIOS was among the items to be updated.
I already tried the clear CMOS excatly as indicated in the link/video.

Live Update 6 - No Internet Connection - MS-7204

Hi all,
I got an MS-7204 board (945P Series). That's a BTX format (you might now say poor chap!).
I want to update bios, and as I have no boot disk I though it might be a good idea to try Live Update.
Well, while I am here posting this on the internet, this silly program tells me "no internet connection, please reconnect and try again".
There are no internet settings or even settings whatsoever in this tool, so what might be the solution, please?

Hi,
Here's my suggestion: remove Live Update. Unless you want to brick your board

Don't fix it if ain't broken!
However, if you really want then you have to tell exact motherboard model and current BIOS, someone will be able to provide latest one with much safer way of flashing BIOS.

Mac mini Intel Updated to 10.4.10 - Won't boot if Airport turned on

Just updated my Mini to 10.4.10. I have two locations set up - one wired, and one wireless. If the location is set to use Airport, the machine will not boot. It may get to the desktop, but usually hangs before the dock makes it onto the screen. I need to do a Safe Boot, and change the location back to Wired for it to boot. After that, it works perfectly fine until I try wireless again, resulting in the same problem. Taking cues from some of the threads here, I downloaded and applied the Combo update, but it didn't help. It worked just fine under 10.4.9, and is completely reproduceable under 10.4.10. I tried turning off my Linksys wireless router to see if talking to it was giving Airport trouble, but even with the router powered off, the mini still hangs.
Saw some other threads about people having difficulties after 10.4.10 using HDMI to an HDTV, which I am also using, so maybe there's some combination of DVI->HDMI monitor and Airport???
Mac Mini (Intel Duo) Mac OS X (10.4.10) DVI->HDMI->Vizio GV47L HDTV

Curiously, of the 3 users I have with Intel minis who updated to 10.4.10, none have boot problems with Airport enabled. None are using any unusual adapters etc, but the systems are behaving correctly none-the-less.
However, there are obviously some users who do have problems, and just to be clear, since this is a user-to-user support forum, Apple do NOT read these threads. Well, to be more accurate, the forum hosts do, but solely from the standpoint of 'policing' content, and from time to time other staffers may, though not for the purpose of identifying technical issues. It is expected that users wishing to report a problem contact Apple directly to do so, and for all those suffering this anomaly (and others like it should they occur) it cannot be stressed too much that if the answer cannot be found here from another user, contacting Apple directly to make them aware of the problem is the best way forward.
In many instances, these issues turn out to be caused by issues that already pre-existed in the system before an update was installed, but in other instances where there is a genuine issue with an update and a specific piece of hardware or software or in certain operating circumstances, often the only way Apple will know is if users report it to them directly so they can then examine the details of each reported case to help identify the cause and then release a fix if it is necessary.
A useful resource for reporting and troubleshooting issues like these is http://www.macfixit.com/ though it's interesting to note that they don't seem to indicate this particular issue has been reported to them. They do, however, have a comprehensive guide on reinstalling MacOS at http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20070709083546267 for those who want to downgrade from 10.4.10

HELP: Failure flashing BIOS using Live Update 5

Hi,
I used Live Update 5 to download the latest BIOS version for my MB. Then when I was running the update, I chose "". (I know it's incorrect and I should have chosen the other one.) After the update, the machine restarted and showed a cursor blinking on the top left on a black screen, and it wouldn't proceed any more. I can enter the BIOS without a problem. I can also boot from CD or USB, but the windows on my machine simply wouldn't boot.
After the problem arose, I have tried flashing the BIOS with the MSI Forum HQ USB Flashing tool on this forum. It tells me that but the same problem remains.
What should I do now?
Thanks for your time and consideration!

After any flash, the battery should be removed for awhile and the CMOS cleared. Reset all your BIOS menu settings again making sure the boot order etc. is correct and the proper mode is selected that your OS was installed under, i.e. IDE or AHCI mode.

Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

what OS you are running?
