MOVED: msi g31m3-f [ver 1.1 ]bios update question,

This topic has been moved to BIOS.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=130651.0

That is simply a misprint. A64 HT speedss are either 800 or 1000 depending on the chip. The MB has little to do with it.

MOVED: MSI z87 G43 OC GENIE ISSUE/Bios UPDATE

This topic has been moved to MSI Intel boards.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=251468.0

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

I think you failed at disconnect the power while in loop.
Because of was the same as me, infinite loop like 4~5 times and after continued to install.
Here for an explanation look at page 4 > http://event.msi.com/mb/22nm/Bios_ME7_to%20_ME8_update_SOP_EN.pdf
If you didnt seen this part, failed and.... I dont know what can you do at this point.
in fact the problem was after this last update mentioned on page 4 of SOP guide that you linked and that i was read ... all ... but what is strange is that i have no display error during all update .. alla goes fine ...after last reboot ... dead.
someone can tell us what's happened? i'm not newbie about this procedures of bios update ...without any problem.

MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G Issues & BIOS Update

bios.zip (136.34 kB - downloaded 37 times.)
Hello,
ever since I bought my GTX 970 I've had about 5 BSOD's while playing CS:GO and GTA:V. I am not sure whether it's a GPU issue or not, but I never had that issue before (at least with CS:GO).
Tech specs:
MB: z87-pro
CPU: i7-4770K
GPU: MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G
OS: Win7 x64 SP1
latest OS updates
latest nVidia drivers
I've been wondering if there's a BIOS update for my GPU? I also tried just today to download MSI Live Update 6 but after executing the installer it displays "This application does not support this platform."
I've attached my GPU Bios.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
With LiveUpdate, don't worry. Many users got issue with it, I believe MSI is aware of this already.
Is your motherboard running latest BIOS?
Is it known to work fine with other graphics card??
Do you have any OC on your CPU/RAM? (RAM OC=more than 1600MHz). Remove and try again.
What did the BSOD say? Error code?
Heya, thanks for the reply.
That's good to know for Live Update, just wanted to let you know. Before my GTX970 I was using an Asus GTS 450 (I know, lame) and used integrated graphics a couple of times but never had BSOD's during games with either of those. I didn't take a note of the BSOD error code, can I find a log somewhere on my system to upload it?
OC-wise everything is running on stock clock, BIOS is also latest version (2103, according to Asus).

MSI Gt60 2OD black screen after bios update

I decided to update the bios for my msi gt60 2OD gamer notebook. Downloaded the AHCI bios file from msi notebook site then flashed the bios inside Windows 8 x64 using a bios flasher DOS tool that came inside the folder of the bios downloaded from msi site. The flash done ok in windows 8, the DOS flashing tool showed done ok in all steps of the flashing I restarted the notebook hit Del enter the bios press F9 for optimal settings then chose exit saving changes then restarted the notebook. After the restart my notebook olny shows black screen. Does not boot, does not show msi logo and i am not able to enter the bios hitting DEL. The notebook turns on with all lights when i press the power button but olny show black screen. Help me to fix and recover my notebook

I went to this page
MSI Global GT60 2OD
I did download the file w8_E16F4IMS.50E.zip AHCI Bios then flashed the bios file using the flash utility afuwinx64.exe provided in the folder. I typed at the DOS command window inside windows 8 x64 the command afuwinx64.exe E16F4IMS50E after that the fans of notebook made noise and at the DOS window showed OK DONE for all steps of flashing. Then i shut down windows 8 . Power the notebook hit del enter the New flashed bios hit f9 for optimal settings then save changes and restart. After the restart black screen. What did i made wrong?
You need to use included "FLASHWIN.BAT" [which contain all required parameters] to flash it,
else your notebook will be bricked.

MSI 4G 970 GTX OC Edition - Bios Update Request

Good morning. Since NVidia isnt doing much to rectify their issues I thought I would seek out some help on the MSI Gaming pages to see if I could update the bios to my card and it may relieve some of the GPU card usage issues. So rather then tag on someone elses thread I am asking for assistance to ensure I use the right BIOS updates and instructions so I do not damage my card. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
My symptoms from my card are pretty standard like the rest of the 970 GTX series owners. Some freezing or screen stutter occasionally, and low usage of the components.
In addition one of my older games is unable to use the 4G of VRAM properly and the screen locks up and the game crashes. That game is about 12 years old now so I am not to concerned if this issue isnt resolved.
My info:
Card Serial #: 602-V316-10SB1411120807
Model: MSI 970 GTX OC Edition
FX 8350 w/H60 Liquid Cooler
ASUS Crosshair V Formula Z Mobo
32 GB G. Skill RipJaw @ 1866
Thermaltake 750W Modular PSU
MSI 970 GTX OC Ed.

What does .193 do for me? Does that address the VRAM issues or the Low GPU usage issues present in the 970 chipset?
I just pulled the 970 from my rig for now. When NVIDIA makes some statements and then MSI on what if anything can be done I might put it back in. At this time though I feel like I need to just wait it out. The card causes me problems with a 12 year old game when i dont cap the memory usage. That shouldnt be happening, when on my 7870 which only has 2 GB of memory has none of the same issues on the exact same game.

MSI DKA790GX Platinum and AM3 CPU - BIOS Update

Hi,
I am going to upgrade my current computer from an older AMD socket 939 setup to an AMD Phenom II based system
I am thinking of the MSI DKA790GX Platinum motherboard and AMD Phenom II X3 720 (Black edition) CPU (AM2+ Motherboard and AM3 CPU), but I need to clear up the BIOS update for AM3 issue before buying the components.
The motherboard advertisement states that the BIOS has to be upgraded to support AM3 CPU
My issue is this: I do not have an AM2/AM2+ CPU, and I am looking to jump right into buying an AM3 CPU - so will the unit power-up/POST with the combination of the newer AM3 CPU and older BIOS to allow me to update the BIOS using either FDD or Bootable USB Pen in a DOS environment?
Does anyone have any knowledge or experience of this? Any help on this would be appreciated
Thanks

The 1.74 Bios is one I got from MSI tech support. We're trying to work through a problem with my new board. nothing major, but we're not quite there yet.
I know that Nvidia was The chipset to have for several years, but I think AMD has upset that applecart a bit with the 780 & now 790 chipsets, and with Intel
getting into the chipset game as well, Nvidia could see some rough times ahead. They may even end up dropping out of the chipset game, since Intel's new CPUs have the memory controller built on die. Hence, Intel has no real need for NVidia any more, Nvidia may end up just focusing on the video card market, unless?
My board defaults to 800mhz as well and I'm running a 720. You have to keep in mind that they have to make the boards default to the lowest common denominator as not everyone runs 1066 capable memory on their board (even though Manufacturers may spec the memory so). I also have to manually bump up the voltage, as well as timings and ratio for 1066. But, my Mushkin ram plugged in and booted with no problems, but I did have to bump up the voltage and tighten up the timings even at 800.
Interesting (Abut BIOS version 1.74). I guess it is not yet available for downloads.
So now Intel CPU's have the memory controller on the die (just like AMD). So does this prove as an advantageous concept? I expect Intel to implement better memory management than AMD. AMD drops speed when all 4 memory banks are occupied... what is the use of utilizing max RAM capability if memory controller cannot sustain the max RAM speed?
I may agree with you on the concept that motherboard should support the lowest (RAM) denominator...
However if someone uses lower than 1066 MHz sticks, system should detect accordingly, and when 1066 sticks are used, auto-detect as 1066... I still do not see the issue here. On former nVidia based boards like my MSI K9A Platinum SLI (with an AMD X2 CPU), 800 MHz modules are detected as 800 on auto, no need to manually tweak anything in BIOS. I still have to see an nVidia EPP profile enabled board which is claimed to auto detect 1066 MHz capable memory sticks by default.
On my system it is also the same... I have to up the RAM voltage to 2.2V (otherwise system is not stable), as well as setting up the timings and of course the RAM/FSB speed ratio to 1:2.66.
I am running currently 4 chips of OCZ platinum 2 GHZ (for a total of 8 GB RAM, for 64 bit Vista and Linux). Also with mine (as we know Phenom II does not support 4 sticks of 1066 MHz) it drops to 800 MHz. As well as, I needed to bump the voltage to 2.2 V... otherwise in the middle of operation, system reboots. We know what this is about, dont we ?

MSI z87 G43 OC GENIE ISSUE/Bios UPDATE

Hi Everyone, This is my First time posting to the forums.
Here Are my System Specs Before I post the question
Motherboard: msi z87 g43
CPU: intel core i7 4770k (haswell)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance Ram ddr3 clocked at 1333mhz, 16gb, using 4 4gb sticks.
GPU: evga gtx 770 nvidia
PSU: Bronze certified psu at around 850 watt.
CPU COOLER: is a standard corsair single radiator water cooler
QUESTION/PROBLEM:
Ive had this computer built for about a year (basically right when the gtx 770 released). I have no problems with the device and it works perfectly. The motherboard however is where my problems starts to arise. I tried my hand at overclocking but ended up with a blue screen after some stress testing and just set my values back to default. But since then I really havent tried anything new with it. However, I noticed OC genie and I thought hey maybe Ill try this out for a chance. So I boot up and go into the bios set up (all values are default) and press the oc genie.As soon as the screen flashed back up I get a black screen and can not post. The only way to actaully fix this is to reset my CMOS which luckily I know how to do. But the black screen displayed also had a number letter combo at the bottom. It displayed 9C at the bottom in white. But when I get a successfull boot into the bios right beofre the bios logo I get a black screen with A2. But the A2 appears in every boot. Now heres where things get funky. I have a logitech Camera I use primarily for skype. When I have the device plugged in before the computer is booted. When I try to boot I get the black screen with the 9C, but when I unplug and reboot, I get the A2 and I get into my OS.
Now I tried overclocking again at 46 multiplyer with a 1.2v but When I did I get text saying its not successfull and resets my bios info, (which is cool considering oc genie didnt do this it just corrupts my CMOS).
So you must all be asking what version of the bios I have and the answer is 1.0....
Now I know there is a 1.9 and even a 1.A version which came out this year in 2014
The problem with this however is I know the dangers of flashing my bios and it can really screw up my mobo as in brick the darn thing. But from what I read, Live update form msi does not work and I shouldnt use it. But Is flashing the bios via the bios set up where there is a section specifically for flashing safe to do? With the oc genie not working im scared to try flashing my bios via the bios setup if that makes any sense
To wrap it up, is it a problem with my mobo, do I need to update my bios to fix it? If yes then what is the safest way of doing it since ive never done a bios update before (but i get the concept put the up date on a FAT 32 load it from it in the bios set up option let it do its thing and boom ) .

[FIXED] MSI G33M + Q9400 not working. BIOS update not working either.

Build:
MSI G33M (MS-7357)
2GB Kingston DDR2 RAM (800MHz)
XFX 8600GT 256MB 540Mhz (stock)
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 (stock)
RaidMax 420W PSU
160GB Seagate sATA HDD 7,200 RPM with WINDOWS 7 BETA
250GB Seagate sATA HDD 7,200 RPM with WINDOWS XP MCE 32Bit
Here's what I sent to customer service:
I have been running my system with the above configuration but with a Intel Core 2 Duo e4400. I recently bought a new Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 which should be supported by my MSI Mainboard - the G33M which supports LGA775 1333FSB, 45nm, Core 2 Duo and Quad. After installing my new CPU the system would start and the splash screen would appear and I would get the regular 3 system beeps, but then the computer would reboot, and the splash screen would reappear, and it would reboot and this process will continue. I am also unable to get into BIOS. So I put in my old processor for now and it's running fine. The CPU was properly installed and should be running fine but it isn't.
My Friend told me to update the BIOS version but I'm not sure on how to do that or if it will fix it. If you could please tell me what the problem is, and if I need to update the BIOS how to do so. Because when I downloaded the 1.3 BIOS update files off your website they were .exe files and another unfamiliar, unreadable file. The instructions weren't very clear.
Thank-you,
Nick
Today I went through the forums since they haven't responded and I was tired of waiting. I came upon the BIOS Flash Thread https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=116721.0 and I decided to do it. Everything worked fine (by that I mean the preparation process). (I made sure USB Lagacy Support, Boot from other device, USB Controller were enabled and Quick Boot was disabled in BIOS. I even made the boot sequence to boot from the memory stick first.) When I start up I press F11 during POST and select Kingston (memory card) just to be sure. Then I get a screen with a bunch of system information (it seems) and at the bottom it says "Esc to boot... 10 sec" then it counts down to "0" and boots my OS (I have windows XP and W7). It should start up the BIOS update like it says.... But it doesn't... Instead it shows this system info. Does anyone know why?
Please help. Thanks,
Nick P.

I got a new power supply as suggested. The power supply I bought is a 600W OCZ modular, I got a decent price, here's the link http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=33041&vpn=OCZ600MXSP&manufacture=OCZ%20Technology&promoid=1029
I switched to the Q9400 and tried to see if it would load up but no success. So back to the flashing part....
Here's the responce I got from customer service:
This mainboard supports Intel Q9400.Please download the bios files:
http://asia.msi.com/index.php?func=downloadfile&dno=7420&type=bios
How to update BIOS?
1.First of all, please make a booting disk.
2.Next go to our website to download BIOS file, then copy “AFUD4234” and “A7357IMS.130” into the disk.
3.After that, please go to “BIOS setup” and choose booting disk under “boot sequence”.
4.Under DOS mode, please type “AFUD4234 A7357IMS.130” and it will be updated successful!!
Warning:
1. During updating, please stop all working process to avoid update interruption.
2. Please must not cut the power or restart your computer during you flash BIOS!
3. Please also remember to Load Optimized Defaults under bios setup after you finish the BIOS update!
This confuses me: in instructions it says:
"DON'T FLASH FROM A FLOPPY DISK!!!!"
then it talks about making a boot disk and booting from a floppy...?
So do I do this from a floppy (why would I?!?!) or can I just do this from a DVD/CD?
How do I do this on a blank DVD and with what software.
Also, does anyone know what could've happened with the USB drive?
Thanks,
NP

MSI 648 Max with AGP X8 - BIOS update

I have replaced my old AGP card with Radeon 9550 256MB for use with my new Dell 20" WS monitor.
Every time, after starting or during 3DMark03, it crashed back to desktop and sometimes retarting my pc. I try ram settings, aperature etc with no luck. My pc has TrueBlue 480 watt PSU and the voltage reading is good.
In the end, I searched this forum and found out it was the problem with AGP X8 so I changed it to AGP X4 via ATI control panel, my pc went through 3Dmark03 with no problems at all. AGP X4 works flawless.
Regarding BIOS - my motherboard is SIS 648 MAX-L HT ready (Hyper-threading) and its latest BIOS version is v3.1. I'm just wondering that is my board exactly the same as non-HT 648 MAX board physically? Since they use same chipset with same layout and also because I noticed the BIOS update for non-HT version is different with v1.5 and has the fix for Radeon 9700 problem which could be related to my problem. Since I'm using Pentium 4 2.53Ghz, Hyper-threading is a useless feature, could I flash my board with this BIOS?
Thanks in advance

BIOS update question for N650Ti-1GD5/OC BE

Can you tell mei fi the BIOS from the MSI website is newer then the Bios i currently have?
MSI Bios:
msi.com/product/vga/N650Ti-1GD5-OC-BE.html#/?div=BIOS
My current bios:
mediafire.com/download/lj4z7gyv68oziom/GK106.rom
GPU-Z screenshot:

There is also NvFlash for Windows but it's also not just clicking. It's flashing a vbios and there should be as less software involved as possible to prevent bricking the card because of a software issue.

'afternoon
looking at the readme, they look identical, from a "fix" standpoint.
there's one line near the bottom that makes me think that the 7V version is for machines with a discrete gpu/switchable graphics, as yours has.

T9400(2.53GHz), 2GB RAM, 160GB 5400rpm HD, 15.4in 1680x1050 LCD, 256MB ATI Radeon HD3650, CDRW/DVDRW, Intel 802.11agn wireless, Bluetooth, Modem, 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav, Secure chip, Fingerprint reader, 6c Li-Ion, WinVista Business 32
to determine which one you need, launch msinfo32.exe and check the summary page for your current BIOS version. then just pick the one that matches yours, 6F or 7V.

K7n2 delti Ilsr Bios update question

Well bios updates fix these ram issues? I have Kingston hyperx 3500, was on the ok list for ram, dont thank it is now. ;(
MICRO-STAR k7n2Delti ILSR latest bios and drivers
AMD 2800+barton
Fx5900 Gainward videocard

antec pp400watt Ps

Yes, I did mean the CPU. Corrected it now .......
Thanks, I've done that and it's now showing 1800. Much easier than updating the BIOS.
My temperatures have gone up a bit, though. CPU is now 47C (was 44C) and system is 37C (was 35C) in PCAlert4, and I'm only on the net and playing mp3s, so it's not exactly hard load!!. Is this OK? I really worry about overheating since my old mobo was unstable at lower system temps than this.

Windows 7 - BIOS update question - Satellite A350-13A

Hi,
I have the Toshiba A350-13A for Poland.
It came with Vista 32 bit system. I would like to install there Windows 7 64 bit.
So I have a question for BIOS update.
In my toshiba model driver section for WIN7 there is only a 32 bit BIOS for OS independent, but in the Vista section there is a 64 bit BIOS.
So shall I stay with the 32 bit BIOS or update to Vista 64 bit BIOS?
best regards.

Hi
Do you have any performance or notebook issues using the 32bit BIOS?
If everything is working properly then leave the 32bit BIOS on your notebook.
I would recommend updating the BIOS only if some serious problems would appear
Cheers
