MOVED: MSI 8800GTX and 8800GTX OC -- Change bios?

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.

Totally agree with what the guys have said.
The only way you could want to update with a different BIOS for such a trivial task is to convince yourself that you got the best card.
Probably, If I were one of those guys that bought the OC version, I'm sure I will do the opposite, and put a BIOS that goes to stock.
I already lost 2 products that came OC (BFG and XFX) and I've learn that companies sometimes know as much as we do and they release OC products and they just OC the product as we do, not special treat, so, sometimes, they tend to live a shorter life, exactly like it happens with us.
I would not buy any product that says OC in their box, it's risky, the manufacturer is risking an RMA and really, there is no need, for something that you could do for yourself.

    The P965 Neo motherboard is 8 years old, so don't expect miracles. .... You need to format the USB stick in the proper way. You may use this utility to do it: hxxp://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ Also, it's a good idea to use the first (USB0) connector (controlled by Intel ICH8) for the USB flash drive. Good luck.
    Thank You for your fast response, RemusM!
    I'm not looking for a miracle. I'm just looking for a mobo that does what it is supposed to do: Allow me to boot from a USB flash drive (I don't think that is too much to ask for even from a board that was made in 2006)!
    Thanks for recommending FlashBoot. I see under their "Why FlashBoot" section that it "... does not shift to user the burden of choice between "USB-ZIP" and "USB-HDD" at format time and proper BIOS setup at boot time. ... and every USB disk is formatted in such way that it will work in every environment properly, regardless of current BIOS setting.", so I will give it a try and let you know about the results afterwards.

    The method above does NOT apply to your board. Either use MFlash (bios + ME option) or use the below:
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
         A.) Download the attached archive (E7816IMS_1A0.rar.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
         B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
         C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
         D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
         E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
         F.) Boot to the USB 
         G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
         H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows:  http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip

  • Shockwave MSI Problem  and Flash name changes

    Hi
    1) The Shockwave 10 MSI is not suitable for easy
    redeployment. It does not
    detect itself correctly when added to an MSI as a nested
    product. This means
    that unless I manually detect it
    and Flash it causes a 1713 error on installation.
    Whilst I know that nested MSIs are not the prefered method of
    redeployment
    according to microsofts guidlines. It is the only way to
    achieve such and
    allow easy network deployment through Group Policy.
    The reason being that you cannot invoke a second MSIExec
    outside of the UI
    Sequence and Group Policy Deployments do not have a UI
    Sequence becuase they
    are silent.
    I know we could request that the network administrators
    install shockwave
    seperately, but our clients are schools and the network techs
    are often not
    very knowledgable about modern networks.
    2) Why have you changed your policy of the naming of flash
    from simply
    Flash.ocx with a version number to a new name for every
    single version. This
    has broken our detection mechanism and is now leading to 1904
    errors becuase
    our installer is trying to register an older version of flash
    (Basically we
    use theWindows Installer standard mechanism of signitures to
    detect the
    presence of an application and then filter by version) . The
    detection
    strategy you describe on your site is fine for use in a web
    browser but does
    not seem feasible within the windows installer engine. At
    least not as far
    as I can tell.
    Is there a registry entry or some file which is guaranteed to
    both not
    change over time and which will show the version installed?
    kind regards
    Stephen Whipp.

    Quintino,
    You can programatically open connecitons to Shared Variables.  This allows you to decide at runtime the IP address, lib name and SV name you wish to connect to.  I've attached a vi snippet the demonstrats an Action Engine to handle the connection to a SV named "Parameters".
    I normally store the cRIO_Settings in a .INI file that is easy to modify.

    is there no way to make it appear as GT 540M instead of intel HD family in the system/dxdiag/etc... ?
    For what purpose though? You can select in the nVidia control panel what software you want the GT 540M used for. The whole point of the technology is to reduce power consumption, so it only switches to the dedicated card when absolutely necessary. Have a look in the global settings (in the nVidia control panel) and see if it will use the GT 540M as the primary device. I don't have a notebook with switchable graphics so don't know what settings there are exactly.

  • Old msi gt60 and wrong new uefi bios

    i flashed the new efi bios by taking bios file only and flashing by old afudos method thinking that bios for my nb
    then the screen brightness in the windows is not controlled at all
    so i want method to return to a correct bios for gt60 again
    any help appreciated
    thank you

    Hello, Win8 BIOS doesn't provide new features over Win7 BIOS.
    It is created to follow the new structure created by Microsoft for anti-piracy scheme.
    Win7 BIOS will continue to receive updates if applicable.
    Again, you can't cross flash BIOS if versions are different, thank you.
    1XX => 1XX
    3XX => 3XX
    5XX => 5XX
    7XX => 7XX
    As for abdallayousef, sorry about what had happened but you needed to follow instructions. Please kindly contact your local MSI branch for RMA service, thank you.
    Code: [Select]
    Attention:
    Users who download BIOS from here (not using Live Update) should use the flash utility included in the downloaded compressed file when doing the BIOS update. To avoid BIOS update failure, please do not use older versions of the update utility or utilities not provided by MSI.
    - If the notebook you purchased has Win7 Bios installed, please DON'T attempt to update using Windows 8 bios (or vice versa). Failure to abide may result in bricking your system.
    - Although there's a bios detection program written to protect user from cross flashing the bios (Win7 to Win8 bios or vice versa), still DON'T experiment. Failure to abide may result in bricking your system.

  • Can't change BIOS version in MSI GS70

    Hello Folks! I'm completely new in the Forum. This will be my very first post so apologies for any mistakes I can make 
    Two weeks ago I bought a MSI GS70 2OD-052XPL  (1TB 7200 hdd version) laptop. Before I've become a happy owner of my MSI I did some additional purchase (2x mSata 120Gb). I was planning to set my mSata ssd as  SuperRAID array and make a clean Windows 8 installation. However It turned out that to do so I have to have the UEFI RAID0 SKU BIOS version (I have nonRAID version) on board. I downloaded proper BIOS version and I've tried to change my BIOS to the right one (w8_E1771IMS.70E). No success so far . I contacted my polish MSI techsupport and they said the there should be no problem with the installation. I tried different methods of BIOS flashing but there i ROMID error at the end. I'll be more than happy to have your support guys.
    Thanks,
    Tomasz

    'SuperRaid' is sort of a marketing name that MSI uses for being able to put multiple mSATA SSD's into a notebook. ALL notebooks use the Intel RAID ROM/controller built into the NB in order to make the actual Raid array.
    As Svet explained, every GS70 does come with 'SuperRaid' support. The GT70 (like I have), it was an option to get a SuperRaid.
    The speed of the raid is dependent on the controller on the SSD and the how the SSD is configured (by the manufacturer.....how the FLASH is arranged, etc...).
    On top of that, in Raid 0, you should see performance that is roughly 2x that of a single drive.
    http://www.legitreviews.com/kingston-ms200-120gb-msata-ssd-review_125006/3
    Looking at that review, you can see that their single drive is similar to the performance of a single drive that you have (should be, it's the same model....). And your Raid 0 performance is very close to being 2x that of a single drive.
    Overall, everything looks to be in working order.
    Thank you guys for the complex explanation. Now I know a lot more about drives and how it works! 
    Special thanks for Svet!

    Its probably just a bricked board. I suggest you phone your local PC shops and find out which one has a ISP programmer. That way they can flash the latest, or any BIOS version for that matter, onto the current BIOS chip, ensuite.  Here is an example of such a programmer http://www.xeltek.com/In-System-Programmers/SuperPro-IS01/
    Fry's Electronics in the US seems to be quite helpful from what I understand. That is of course if you are from the US.
    You can download the latest BIOS from the MSI site and take that along on a USB flash drive, and they will be able to flash it for you, at a fee of course, normally.
    Else you can search the web for companies that specialise in sending you ready flashed BIOS chips, which will of course cost money as well and means you have to solder it onto the board.
    Alternatively you can send the board to a MSI technical centre and they will also do the job.
    You will have to weigh up the costs and time effort and decide.

    My computer is saying it can't find the file 'iTunes64.msi' when I try to update or redownload iTunes how do I fix this? I've tried just about everything I can think of. I am using a dell laptop running windows 7 and have tried changing the file location to run the update in all of my iTunes files as well as when I've tried reinstalling it.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.
