Live update don't update BIOS!

Hello
Have anybody experienced problems with Live update and the BIOS for MEGA 865?
I only get the message "Your current version was updated and optimized".
I had to flash the BIOS from 1.00 to 1.20 manually when i first got the computer. My other machine running a regular MB from MSI has no trouble with Live update and BIOS updates?

Yes same thing, but hay it could be worst.

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

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.

Hi everybody,
My computeur works fine since 3years, I change nothing inside, I just want to upgrade all drivers and bios because sometimes the computeur was freezing without any reason....
So...I installed live update...Live update processed to the flash of the bios to the latest version, everything was ok, auto-reboot and.... black screen !!!!
Visually all is fine : led on, fan ok, fan of the video card too, hard drive is launching but nothing in the screen.
I already read all the post about the same problem, I try to reset the bios by unplugging the cord of the psu and move the jumper : nothing...
I change the video card : nothing more...
When I unplugged all the ram I heard 3 bips, and when 1 or more dimm present there is no bip.

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

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.

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?

890FXA-GD70 bios update via Live Updat & now won't load windows...help pls

Hi There
First off, please excuse the fact that I am not very experienced with the tech aspects of a home build (which this is & I bought off the builder), or any build for that matter..
I was getting a 'keyboard/interface' press f1 to continue error message, when I started my computer, along with most of the usb ports not working when windows 7 ultimate (64) sp1 (build 7601) loads.
Otherwise it was working fine..
So I deceided to follow the instructions of the Live Update tool & used the total installer to update the bios from American Megatrends V1.10 06/30/2011 to the latest bios. I know now that wasn't very wise (why is it even an option if it can do soooo much harm?).
After it updated the bios there was a question (which I don't recall of course), something about ROM I think and not being the same, with 3 choices to correct it and I'm pretty sure I went with the 1st option for it to be corrected.
So now when I turn the computer on it starts loading everything (I can get in to the bios setup), right after it shows the windows logo it flashes a blue screen with some type on it & goes to windows startup repair which of course doesn't help & tries to do a system recovery which also doesn't work.
I don't want to do any more damage by fiddling around with things I know little about.
I was encouraged to read in one of the post answers that if it gets to the point where Windows goes to load than the mobo is ok...hopefully!
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

yes the BIOS controls the CMOS from that User interface with all the settings menus!
and yes its in there where you can see what Drive mode its set at!
if its using the older style BIOS like my board has and not a UEFI then in this heading set:
1: go into your BIOS (press Delete)
2: Integrated Perifirals
3: On-Chip ATA Devices
4: Raid Mode <--- the options for that should be in there if its the same and may have been set to IDE mode before the update but may be set to AHCI now after you flashed the BIOS via live update which is more then likely why your getting a BSOD as it in the wrong operating mode!

K8T Neo Fir won't post after live update to 2.0 bios

After running the Live Update which updated the bios to 2.0, I can't boot into XP (SP 1). I can boot in safe mode. Not sure how to get this running again. I've tried everything I can think of, any ideas on what I might try?
Setup was running fine prior to bios update.
XP SP 1
K8T Neo Fir
1 GB
Promise Sata Raid 1 - 2 80GB Sata drives
Radeon 9600

I tried executing "fixboot" from the recovery console but this may have made things worse. After running this successfully, the console reported that it had written a new boot vloc on teh C partition in FAT32. The SATA drives are not formatted in FAT32! Now I don't get the Windows initial screen at all, it just goes back to the bios and restarts. I can still startup in safe mode though.
Maybe the Recovery Console can't see the drives properly because the Promise drivers are not loaded? Any ideas? I'm in deep now!

N560GTX-Ti OC freeze during CoD4 MP after update VGA BIOS with Live Update

hi
I updated the bios via live update , and i want the stock one back couse cod4 freezes my pc after a few minutes so i cant play
please help me.
(i am sure thats the problem couse i could play the game before i done that update... i thought it will be useful since it was telling me there was an updat, and updates usually great , right? )
s\n : 602-V238-130B1103125151
thank You in advance.
oh and please tell me the exact right way to update it, i dont want to fry my vga card

Z87-GD65: Live Update 5.0.112 does not display BIOS 1.8 update

As the title says Live Update 5.0.112 does not display BIOS 1.8 update for the Z87-GD65. Yet Live Update 5.0.111 does show the BIOS 1.8 update. Why is this so?

I have to be honest and say I am tearing my hair out trying to update the BIOS on this motherboard. Why is it so convoluted?
1. I tried the USB boot with FPT. I can't get the FPT and BIOS files to show when I reboot to the bootable USB stick. Apparently the FPT version is used to also flash the "me extension"? (Whatever the hell that is).
2. I can't use the Live Update because it is unreliable (as claimed by the forum).
3. I can't use MFLASH because that doesn't work properly and corrupts the BIOS.
4. Yet another method is to download the "MSI HQ Forum USB Flasher". Which is in a .RAR file no less!
Geez MSI you don't make it easy for the average punter. When I had a Gigabyte motherboard it was a simple Windows flash utility and it worked!
Is there one single easy way to update this BIOS?!

Live update cant find bios 1.20 for the K9VGM-V

I have just recieved a MSI K9VGM-V board and just like last time i had a MSI board, i have problems flashing bios.
I have bios version 1.0 and i can see there is a 1.20 online version, but live update keep saying that the 1.0 that i have, is the newest version.
C:\Programmer\MSI\Live Update 3\MSI.htm
I have tried the, how to flash bios, procedure that comes with the downloaded bios, but without any luck.
Any good ideas.
Thank you.

Do you have problems with the board?
If not, don't flash.
I have seen the sticky
I dont have any problems with the board, but i also think that there is a reason why bios updates are released.
I think that, normally the newer bios have more options etc..... just my opinion.
Perhaps it is also because boards like asus and gigabyte are so easy to update and switch back, if you preffer a older bios.
I flashed my older K9N platinium with AFUD.....is that possible with this board?
K9N being ami and the K9vgn-v is award bios?

How does live update 6 work with BIOS updates?

I want to upgrade to the x99 platform but I am concerned with how new it is. I want to make sure I keep the BIOS updated because of the "newness" of it all and compatibility issues. Although I have built and continue to upgrade my system I am in no way proficient in trouble shooting or making changes. So flashing the BIOS always makes me nervous that I will screw something up. So when I heard that MSI has a program called live update 6 that automatically updates the BIOS it got my interested.
Can anyone give me some advice on how this program works? Or are the compatibility issues more an issue of the past when Intel rushed the CPUs out and the MOBO makers had to play catch up?
Thanks for everyone's advice and help.

Hi
Which exactly motherboard you're looking for? If you're afraid of bricking BIOS, then I suggest something like X99 MPower/XPower which has dual BIOS.
LiveUpdate: downloads the update pack, does some magic within bootup and updates the BIOS. I don't know the exact process it does, but works just like installing a software: download, extract, install. Also MSI offers MFlash which lets YOU go through flashing process: download, prepare USB stick, boot from USB (or use MFlash within BIOS settings) and update.
Risks: flashing BIOS is always a risk, no matter if it's MSI, Gigabyte or anyone else's brand. It's a chip, that if something goes wrong (for example system is not stable), then motherboard may get bricked and recovery may/may not be possible.
