MOVED: MSI H67MA-E35 (B3) update bios FAIL

This topic has been moved to BIOS.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161879.0

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.

MSI H67MA-E35-B3 not supporting ddr3 1333

Hi,
I recently purchased MSI H67MA-E35-B3 and Intel Pentium G620 processor with Corsair xms3 2x2gb ram kit CMX4GX3M2A1600C9
Ram is not detected as 1333, but it defaults to 1066 in auto settings, if I manually change speed to 1333, pc wont boot and I have to clear cmos.
Enabling XMP in bios displays adjusted dram speed as 1600, but saving and rebooting speed sets back speed to 1066.
I want to run ram at default 1333 speed at least if the board cpu doesnt support 1600.
Also there is some issue with Ps/2 keyboard, its not detected by windows after shutting down pc, some reboots and plugging unplugging keyboards makes it work.

Please take a screenshot of the CPU-Z "SPD" view, upload it somewhere and include the link to the image here for comparison.

Actually, according to Intel specifications, native memory support of this processor is restricted to DDR3-1066:

MSI H67MA-E35-B3 & some ram questions

Hi, I'm still here!
I recently bought a MSI H67MA-E35-B3 to build a fanless miniPC for testing hardware (fans, ssd, sound card),
but I have some doubts about ram:
I know thant this mobo support two unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 1066/1333 DRAM, 16GB Max..
well, can I use a CORSAIR Vengeance WhitePC3-12800 (1600MHz) — 1.35V 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CML8GX3M2A1600C9W)?
that is; can the card bring down (during the star-up bios) the ram fron 1600Mhz to 1333Mhz which is the maximum rate allowable by MSI?
ddr3 must be unbufferd (not registered), but can they be ECC...is this correct?

Quote from: Bernhard on 03-September-11, 21:33:06
My suggestion is that you stick to standard 1,5V modules.
You can also ask MSI technical if the 1,35V modules are at all supported by the BIOS. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Check if your BIOS DRAM voltage range even allows setting a voltage of 1,35V.
Normally if the RAM SPD profiles are standard, the BIOS will default to 1333.
MSI H67MA-E35-B3 can support 1.35vram!!!
I try it with ddr3 g.skill 1333 eco 1.35vram (from my other 775 system with MSI P45 Diamond ), and they worked great!
Quote from: HU16E on 04-September-11, 02:30:27
Try not to confuse 'standard' with 'rating'. The Corsairs you have are 'rated' 1600, but most likely are overclocked, in this case undervolted, (undertimed for 1600 speed) 1333 chips. I checked the Corsair Website, & the RAM you have purchased does have SPD programming to default to DDR3 1333, 9 9 9 24. The difference is they have a 1.35v's. Again, Sandy Bridge is designed for DRAM V. 1.50v's + or - 0.075v's. That is why I recommended the other Corsair kit. I am pretty sure the RAM you currently have will properly default to the 1333 & 9 9 9 24, but the 1.35v's setting may cause a problem. As Bernhard has mentioned, the system may not be able to lower the DRAM V. to 1.35v's, I have never tried it to find out. The other scenario is the DRAM V. will default to 1.50v's at startup & work fine. Then, manual reduction of the DRAM V. could be attempted.
I've not bought the corsair ram ..
If the 1600 ddr3 worked under at 1333 could be that they would not work at 1.35volt, but at 1.5volt standard value

MSI H67MA-E35-B3 S/PDIF internal connector

A quick question before I decide on buying a new motherboard... Does the MSI H67MA-E35-B3 come with an S/PDIF out connector/bracket for its internal header??
Thanks.

http://service.msicomputer.com/msi_user/PreSaleForm.aspx
If they don't come with one there are other brackets readily available that will work on it. Those S/PDIF brackets rarely come with a MB.

New RAM for MSI H67MA-E35(B3)

Hi,
I am planning to buy a new pair of RAM for my MSI H67MA-E35(B3) motherboard as the GSkill Ripjaws X which I was using since 2012 finally gave up on me recently (and the GSkill service sucks in my country). I am looking forward to buy a new pair of Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB RAMs for my MoBo. Hence I'd like to know if there will be any issues in terms of compatibility and stability with my current config? If there are going to be any such issues, would you please recommend me a good pair of RAMs to get my system running again. My priorities are Reliability and Stability with good service backup.
An early response will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Use Corsair ram. A Vengeance or Vengeance Pro kit will fit your needs. An 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 kit would be fine. e.g.: CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8

Do you mean ripping off Buz1 from the motherboard? the buzzer is physically attached to the mobo.

Yes, normally its removable

Just checked and yes seems for your board is different, its build-in instead:
In such case: Place a small piece of scotch tape over the speaker hole[over the top of the buzzer/speaker]

H61MU-E35 (B3) Updating BIOS....File Not Found Error

I have MSI H61MU-E35 (B3) Motherboard with Intel i3 CPU.
I downloaded latest BIOS File 7680vC3.zip (on web page it's says Version: 12.3 from -> -www.msi.com/support/mb/H61MUE35_B3.html#down-bios
Using Windows XP OS From 7680vC3.zip => Extracted E7680vC3.exe => Placed on USB Drive (I did not format USB Pendrive, and used by just making it empty by deleting files) ==> Ran this exe file on the computer where this motherboard is....
Inside Windows XP, when BIOS Update process started, In a green window, it shown me current BIOS old version and New Version side by side. (I did not given much attention to notedown from which number to which number it's updating).
In Windows XP after BIOS Process completed, it restarted computer (I kept USB File as it in the computer as I had read that, I have to keep USB in computer after restart).
When computer restarted...nothing came on the screen and just blank screen for long time and on the right side on screen bottom corner only letter like: A2 stayed for long long time. I waited for 15 minutes but nothing was happening except blank screen...
So, I restarted computer....and kept USB as it is in the computer....but Nothing comes on the screen...
After I concluded that, something is wrong, to resolve the issue...
--- What Try and Experiments I have done ----------------------------------------------------------------
(1) I placed Restarted computer without USB: and Message comes on the screen is:
BIOS Update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive and reset system.
(2) I refered some forums, and also contacted MSI Support. As suggested, I formatted USB Drive with FAT32 and placed E7680IMS.C30 file (only one file) on USB placed in computer and started computer.. Now Message is coming:
Updating BIOS...... File Not Found..
Note that: E7680IMS.C30 File was given to me by MSI Support Staff as I did not kept Original files during formatting USB PenDrive.
But computer is not looking for .C30 Rom File, Computer is looking for .BIN File
(3) I have remove the battery and waited for 5 min. and placed again, to reset BIOS, but not difference on result or on message...
Renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to EIVB.BIN
Result: Just Blank Screen with A2 text on right side bottom corner, No other message
In some other same issue post, they recommand to change ROM File name to: EIVB.BIN which worked for others, so I also tried and renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to EIVB.BIN, in this case, I was able recreate original Issue: When computer boots, Screen stays completely Blank, and on the right side bottom corner, only 2 digit tect comes is: A2. Computer does not give any other message and nothing happens...even I waited for 30 minutes...
Also, by looking at USB Pendrive light, I can tell that, motherboard is reading file on the Pen Drive...
Renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to E7680IMS.BIN
Result: Message comes on the screen: Updating BIOS...... File Not Found..
(5) What I am thinking is: When motherboard power-ups, it's giving me two different type of Valid message based on if USB is in the computer or not, based on if file name is .BIN or not, so I believe motherboard is still not dead and there are hope to feed the file which motherboard is looking for. But issue how to find what specific file which it's looking for... Even sometime I have seen at screen right side bottom area, 2 Digit numbers are changing just like system is doing internal healthcheck before booting up...
(6) Note that, I would like to put old version file on USB to feed, but one of the biggest issue with MSI is, once you download EXE from their website, to Extract EXE file content it needs to be run on the same motherboard computer, so in my case, if your motherboard is not in bootable cituation then you can not extract any other BIOS File to try...
Please help me...by havin this computer down....I am suffering everyday...
(By profession, I am electronics Engineer and have worked with programming Microcontroller and bootloaders, but in this case, I do not have SPI Programmer to program BIOS chip externally.)

Thank you flobelix and Nichrome.
Quick Result Summary: 128MB USB Key formatted FAT32 with HP Tool, made MS-Dos Bootable and placed EIVB.BIN file given by flobelix, but final result is: Screen comes Blank and only shows "A0" Code at right side bottom corner. nothing else.
Detail
Since Flobelix proviced ROM BIN File, I was too exicited to try it out and here is what I did...
(1) As per Nichrome link for HP USB Format Tool, I installed it on "Win XP" machine, and formatted 128MB USB key by selecting "FAT32" and selected option to make "MS-DOS Bootable" and shown Win98 source files as per the instruction.
-128MB USB drive made bootable with FAT32.
(2) I downloaded EIVB.rar given by flobelix and extracted and copied EIVB.BIN file on USB root.
Inserted USB in MSI and powered up...
As soon as I give power: Imidiately one normal beep and Screen comes completly Dark Blank. No message about "File not found". only at right side bottom of screen, it shows "A0".
I inserted USB key in each and every USB slot, but result is same: Screen stays Blank and on right side corner only "A0" letter.
I given around 3-5 minutes time to see something changes on screen, but no change.
- If I power-up computer without connecting any USB Drive: then message comes on screen that: Bios Update has not completed, please insert USB Key and Reset System.
- On USB Key, If I put ROM File with any other name (except EIVB.BIN) then Message comes: Updating BIOS... File Not Found...
- I have removed battery to give a try for resetting BIOS, but not change.
Question:
(1) Is it possible that, motherboard is looking for specific version of File or some different version of file ? and just staying silent and not complaining for existing EIVB.BIN ?
Here is I experiment: I simply created empty text file (0 Byte) on USB Drive and given name EIVB.BIN and booted up computer and same result: Blank Screen and just "A0" on right side bottom corner.
So, it tells me that, when power is given, the program which executes in motherboard for BIOS, it is not able to identify real or fake EIVB.BIN. I think, it's looking for some specific file and when not found, it's getting confuse on what to do....and not saying anything on the screen....
Has anyone old version BIN file of H61MU-E35 (B3) ?
Is there any trick so I can download older version Packaged EXE from MSI website and extract it ? I can give a try....

X120e update BIOS failed "Driver Loading Failed. The Utility cannot proceed"

I was tried to update Bios to 1.12 but not successed..
It always came out this message " Driver Loading Failed. The Utility cannot proceed."..
I tried to update under safe mode, still not work..
I tried to use Winflash, it came out "Cannot open new BIOS file"..
There's only one method that I didn't try is that burn a ISO CD and connect to External CDROM.. but I don't have External CDROM..
The reason that I update Bios is that I want to install Toolbox; otherwise, I won't take this risk..

Sounds like something wonky with your Windows install. I'd avoid doing a BIOS update through such an install.

Hi. I wont to update my bios to version: version 1.7
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/Z87_MPOWER_MAX.html#download
There is a red warning:
You must use the following methods to update this BIOS.
- Use MFlash to update "BIOS + ME"
- Use MSI Live Update
I know that Live Update is not recommended for updating bios.(unless si this something new?)
So my question is: what exactly should i do to update bios correct way?
Best regards and thank you for help.

Use the method and file following file (you MUST use the attached archive) to flash version 1.7
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive 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 and follow the directions. MEMTEST is included with the forum flash tool and it is recommended to run this prior to any flash.
Once the flash is complete, you must download and install the latest ME drivers.

BIOS chip for MSI H67MA-E35 (B3)

Is it possible to get a BIOS chip for this motherboard?
I've got this motherboard from a friend. He wanted to flash the BIOS but it failed. The board was fine before the flash but now it can't do anything anymore. It's just the BIOS that's bad.
The chip seems to be relatively easy to remove. I would like to solder on a new one.
Someone who can help me out? Thanks!!!

Its probably just a bricked board. I suggest you phone your local PC shops and find out which one has a ISP programmer.

MOVED: MSI TECHNICAL - URGENTLY NEED NEW BIOS FOR DIAMOND PLUS MOBO

This topic has been moved to BIOS.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=93688.0

We are having a issue here with the Nvidia raid changing the raid from raid 0 to raid 2 all by it's self. This has happend twice now on the Diamon Plus board. We have tried all kinds of drives. Sata 1 Sata 2 from 4 companys with no change. We are also having the op system Windows give errors that I have never seen in 20 years of building computers .
We have contacted tech support by phone and they have been great trying to help us , but to no good out come. Tech support told us here at the shop that this is an issue that they are working on and trying to find a fix.
This board is a great gamer board if you can find a build of parts that it is stable with, but if not it is a on going problem.
We are also getting the boot error on the Raid that you are on some systems that we build.
I will say again that MSI tech support has been great in working with us on this, And we are also starting to see errors on systems that we put out with the Diamond Plus when the first came out for use. Systems that have been stable for about two months are starting to come back with issues with the drives and that is strange as one would think it would stay stable after this long running.
But in looking back on what has happend , all the issues seem to be due to the Harddrives or Drive controlers. Now that could encompass the buss or buss controler and or many other factors. But we do think the problem is with one of these.
I use the diamond plus for my own gaming system, and it is fast. I love it and the changes I can make in the bios. But I cannot use the raid on the board . I have tired and it was not stable , and after two reloads I went to a fast 300 gig single sata drive. After that I have had no issues at all. And with this drive I am running as fast as I did with the raid. I would recomend that others take this route till a fix is found.

Control Center II on MSI H67ma-e35 (b3) does not maintain a preset

hello guys,
as announced in the title
on my mother board H67 (actually on the other mobo 1155 that I own I have yet to install it), the CC II does not maintain the Green Power Genie preset...
or, I imposed at 75% but the next reboot, it always returns to Auto mode ..
Bios is set active to 75% too,
and I do not understand why it does not align to the same value by software ..

Quote from: HU16E on 22-June-12, 17:46:57
Sometimes software and utilities that run in Windows have a glitch or two. That is why many of us do all the setting changes in the BIOS manually.
for example on my great MSI P45 Diamond, the dual core center produces the "debug assertion failed" erroy almost every day....
in this case I learned that I click "ignore" and I continue my work

Updating BIOS failed because it says computer needs insert system battery.

I was updating the BIOS for my Toshiba model number L755-55158 and it downloaded the update fine and when it was going to install it says insert system battery. The computer is plugged into the power outlet so it is not asking for the battery that powers the computer. I think it is asking for some battery that I am not aware of. This computer is very new, I bought about a week ago. So why is the BIOS not updating from Toshiba Service Station? Is a BIOS update crucial?

I think that the Bios update is just wanting to make sure that there is almost no chance of the computer failing during the Bios installation. So it is asking if the main battery is installed and fully charged prior to running the Bios update. Beyond power cord and the fully charged battery being in the computer, I would also want to make sure that no other programs are open or unsaved files. Once while doing a Bios update, I had a Word document open. Without giving me a chance to save and close, the Bios update rebooted the computer. Lost only a few minutes of work, but it was annoying.

Msi x79 a gd45 update BIOS without CPU

Hi I just bought this MoBo but it doesn't support the I73820 cpu if not properly updated.
How can I update the BIOS without the CPu installed?
is it possible?
kind regards
Gio.

Just get it to a nearby MSI service center (if any) and get the BIOS updated.If not,then there must be some computer shop which can do it for you.
If you will go for RMA then you got to wait for some time.
My city has a MSI service center so most probably yours should too.
