Okay people, I'm going to put an end to the discussion here, because I need some information, not a discussion. It seems there is a slight problem with the 1.9 bios and MSI is working on it.
Now, I need the following information:
- what devices are connected when there is a POST problem?
- Please provide brandname / model number exactly.
- Also, do provide any circumstance under which the board will post with devices connected, like some RAM being pulled / reinstalled.
I will forward this info to the MSI bios engeneering team.
No more discussion please, just plain info, nothing more.
Thank you.
I think it is now a problem with usb legacy. here is my usb devices:
Mouse: Microsoft Explorer Wireless Bluetrack
Keyboard: Fellowes Wireless Antibacterial Microban
Webcam: Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX
ReadyBoost Drive: Patriot 4GB Flash Drive
Miscellaneous: Bluetooth USB Adapter, Transcend Card Reader, Blackberry Storm Dock
with usb legacy enabled, they all cause the system to fail.

MOVED: K9A2 Platinum BIOS - Beating a Dead Horse?

I would probably consider not being able to turn the TLB errata fix off a problem. Going from the original BIOS (v1.0 I think) to 1.3 lowered my computers performance by about 10%ish. This includes FPS in games and all 3DMark scores.
Now it could be something totally different causing the lowered performance as I do not know when MSI added the "fix". I never run virtualization programs so the fix does only harm in terms of performance.
I did ask MSI about the posibility to disable TLB fix in BIOS and this what they answered:

Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for contacting MSI Technical Support.
We will make a specifal Customer BIOS version for you.In this BIOS you can Enable and Disable the TLB errata fix(Add this Option for you).Please wait some days.If we complete it and we will contact you ASAP.
Best wishes
MSI Technical Support Team
And today they sent:

Please download the Customer BIOS version(A7376ACI.101 which add the item of TLB) from MSI User FTP.

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...

MOVED: K9A2 Platinum - HT and PCI-E speeds in bios???

Firstly thanks for the quick reply!
In my experience PCI-E speeds effect stability, sometimes raising just past 100MHz actually increases stability.
AMD OverDrive seems to have a few limits (unless its user error) whereby it limits the voltage I can use, max of 1.35 which isn't enough. I take it the OverDrive does allow me to alter HT speeds however?
Is that bios tested? If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D
Thanks in advance.
" I take it the OverDrive does allow me to alter HT speeds however?"
simply install it and go and see
"Is that bios tested? If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D"
"Is that bios tested?"
some users is using it, without problems if you asking that.
"If I flash and it fails do I have the option to flash back to the old one? I.e. I don't want to kill my mobo! :D"
maybe yes, maybe no.. BIOS flashing is always risky, if you decide to use it do it at own risk.
else just be patient and wait for official version.

Read >>Posting Guide<<
"After changing FSB frequency or memory timings BIOS dont pass memory test that inside it(default 800Mhz)!"
What that is suppose to mean
P.S: Your board don't have "FSB"
I mean that when I CHANGE FSB FREQUENCY!!!! BIOS memory test fails on BIOS's form 1.3 to 1.6 revisions!

Are there any MSI K9A2 Platinum Bios version with better V-core adjust?

Hi everyone
I wonder if anyone knows if there are some bios version to MSI K9A2 Platinum there they have change the V-core settings. I think it´s very big step between the different V-core setting.
In my bios (v.1.3) i have this settings at V-core. Auto=1.32v (AMD 5000+ BE) then 1.36, 1.39, 1.44, 1.49, 1.51. etc.
So, if anyone knows if there are som bios version that have better options to the V-core settings i would be grateful

Okay. I´m sorry if i post it wrong. I have change my profil now

SOLVED: K9A2 CF bios 1.9

Guys,
NOTE THIS: There seem to be many problems with the K9A2 CF board and bios version 1.9. There are many reports about the board not wanting to POST with an usb-device connected.
Our advice is to not flash the board to bios version 1.9. We are currently in contact with MSI to see what's going on.
For those of you experiencing this, flash the board back to version 1.8 and follow this thread to get the latest information about this. We'll inform you all as soon as possible.
Credits go to KRomeleoN, who warned about this earlier.
Best regards,
Hans,
MSI HQ Forum Team

SOLUTION: Anyone having trouble with this board/bios combination, please post a bios replacement request to me or one of the other moderators. We will then provide you with information on how to obtain an updated bios.
After flashing, disconnect AC power and clear cmos!, >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Thank you.

Thanks for the feeback
I did what the folks at MSI put in their BIOS Flashing instructions. I used the live update as stated and didn't get the desired result. I can't afford to have my PC down while I spend weeks chasing down obscure instructions that should have been included in the Flash Bios install procedure.
How would one know what to do to perform this miracle Bios Flashing? Can you explain what the /py /sn /wb /cd /cc /ld /e switches are for? Also, why would one clear the cmos or have to ""Load Optimized Defaults"" when no hardware or cmos settings have been changed? Also, what method are you suggesting with the command line awfl859g w7125nms.1d ???
Inquiring minds want to know.
Again thanks for the info.

K9A2 Platinum bios 1.4 or 1.5 Promise RAID fail Boot.

Ok I have BIOS version 1.3 running fine. I want to upgrade to a bios that officially support the phenom and its power usage. So back in may I try to upgrade to bios 1.4. No good the machine will not boot the RAID set that contains window XP. :( Reverted back. Contacted support. Not much help... a few weeks pass. Contact support again they send me bios version 1.51. Same issue. Reverted back to 1.3. Recently I tried the final release of 1.5 with the same issue.
Anyone out there using a phenom on the K9A2 and booting with the Promise RAID controller in a striped 0 set ? How did you get it to work with the current bios version. Tech support 'claims' they have no problem with the bios and that they have tested it with the promise controller booting to XP.
Thanks,
Jon Harrell

Considering the very large files that regularly run through the system and the extra cpus that windows inefficiently uses I doubt a software controller would impact the performance gains significantly. The units we have prep large format presentations and regularly handle very large files. Bandwidth is key. If this was the average desktop or even a web server yes 1 drive would most definitely be faster. But that would be a different subject.
Although now we might just be considering scraping the whole MSI created mess, and purchasing a hardware solution like that of the quad sata raid in our server.
But for now:
Does any one know the perfect combination?
e.g. Promise driver 1.1.1030.47 !work with Bios 1.50 (promise 2.8.1030.0032)
Thanks,

What PSU do you have?
I would try different RAM. Consider JEDEC std RAM such as Crucial. Search forums for problems with GSkill Ripjaws. You'll find plenty.
If it was the psu (XFX 650XXX) or ram I dont think the problem would only manifest itself when I change the cpu frequency. You have to remember the only time i ever have this problem is when I change that setting at all other times the system is fine. Thanks for the reply.

K9A2 Platinum BIOS, are there any hard drive size limitations ?

I have a K9A2 Platinum system with version 1.10 of the AMI BIOS. Recently trying to re-initialize a Linux grub /boot partition which is near the end of my 2 TB hard drive I received the message:
"Error 18: Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS"
I see nothing in the AMI BIOS limiting the number of cylinders on any of my hard disks. Is there some setting in the BIOS I should be changing to fix this problem or is this just a legacy grub limitation ?

MSI K9A2 CF - Bios A7388AMS.1A2 - HELP ME!!!

My pc work in 100% on bios 1.8 and I'm update bios to A7388AMS.1A2. Please tell me what i must do to recovery 1.8. I see black screen and Leds on front side computer don't work. I'm don't head any voice(beep) and my computer don't start without unpluged usb device. This is AMI bios.
My computer:
MSI K9A2 CF
AMD Phenom x4 920
Asus Hd4830 512 mb
Patriot 2x1gb 800MHz 5-5-5-12
Seagate 160 GB sata
Keyboard and Mouse: USB

I was going to install and try them. My biggest problem is with the fact that MSI is currently misrepresenting their product by merging the V1 with the V2 CPU support list completely. Didn't you see what I said about the CPU support list and my calls to MSI tech support regarding the sudden 125W CPU support? Perhaps you can explain why this was done and enlighten me as to why MSI employees have stated that they are in fact supported? I'd call them right now, ask yet again, and probably get the same answer, but, it's Saturday.
Could you also explain why if there are such obvious issues with these BIOS versions (no USB support? only 1 DIMM support?) that they are still listed at all. Even worse is the fact that 1.9 is active within the Live Update database. That, to me, is an obvious oversight and borders on blatant incompetence. And yes, I am frustrated and venting some of that... I apologize.
In my case, even with one of these CPUs installed using 1.8, there would be no power to OC either one. The only reason I purchased them both was because of what MSI told me about 125W support, and these aren't even close to that. I might be able to take the 7850 to 3.0Ghz or the Callisto to 3.3 if I were to also under-volt them, but that's not always successful. I suppose I should be happy I at least get a little more speed along with some L3 cache using one of these, but I am not. I truly wish I had known this before I wasted money on a CPU I'll never see perform to it's full potential.
Again, I apologize for seeming so obviously disgruntled. I hope you can understand why I feel this way.

[Athlon64] Failed Bios update with both Live Update and Dos version = badchecksum shutdown

Sometimes bios recovery is a long shot .
But the award bios v.6 is supposed to be able to do it if the bootblock is still intact.
Best way seems to be to strip it down to minimal configuration , disconnect all drives except floppy , one ram module , perhaps without video card also .
Look here :

NV317MH.143 is the latest one for your card
do you use latest live update version?
can you show a screeshot from this issue?
I can confirm that what he's saying is true, I also have a 980 with 143 bios and MSI Live Update is telling me that there is a new bios 113 for my 980 Gaming.
So what do we do now? update it to 113 or leave it with 143?
Bcbarnes, lower number doesn't mean its a downgrade, they are just for different batches of 980 Gaming GPU's.
113 should really be for 980 gaming gpu's with serial number of lets say 03s for example, so it is strange that MSI Live Update is telling us to install 113 since our 980 serial code is 11s.
