The "Fix My USB Key" process worked. Thanks.
Unfortunately the re-flash of the BIOS to official 4.3 didn't make any difference to the problem.
CPU is still throttling down from 4.5GHz to 3.9GHz as soon as load is applied.
Can you confirm what settings I should have for -
C1E Support
Overspeed Protection
Intel C-State
Any other ideas?
I do a lot of video encloding work and this throttling is increasing encode times significantly, i.e. from 4-hours to 7-hours.

  • P67A-GD65 (B3) latest BIOS update won't change CPU multiplier

    Hello everyone, Before I explain my problem these are the components I'm using.
    Motherboard:P67A-GD65 (B3)
    CPU:Intel 2600k
    So just recently I flashed my BIOS to the most recent version which is 4.3. and before this I was running my multiplier at 4.5 with no issues. But now when I change my multiplier programs like CPU-ID and CoreTemp aren't reflecting the changes being made in my BIOS they just show the stock speed the CPU runs at which is 3.4GHz. But then windows shows that the changes have been made so I don't know what to believe. Also in the BIOS screenshot you can see at the top it says my CPU is running at 3.8 GHz You can check out the screen shots to see what I mean. Anyways my question is, Is my CPU really overclocked right now or is Windows lying to me and if it is, how can I fix this?

  • P67A-GD65 & i7-2600K BIOS update

    As the title of this topic states, I have a P67A-GD65 board with an i7-2600K CPU. I read a lot about updating the BIOS to version 4.x (current version is 1.19), but I got confused whether I can safely update the BIOS of my mainboard with this CPU or not. Some people seem to succeed and some don't. Is it possible to update the BIOS from 1.19 to 4.x with this combination of MB and CPU and if so, which exact version should I choose and is there anything I should absolutely not do wrong in the process?

    All 4.x bios versions are meant for using Ivy Bridge cpus (ME8). In most cases overclocking Sandy Bridge cpus doesn't work with those or not properly. On the other hand all new versions work that way and a newer version is needed for supporting latest Geforce GTX7x0 vgas. So if you want to use latest stuff on your board switch to the latest bios (4.3). If no hardware change is planned stick to the latest Sandy bios (1.19).
    If wanting to upgrade to 4.3 use the attached archive and >>use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<. With the tool point to the attached and NOT unpacked bios archive (Mode1: Point to Archive) and let the tool prepare a flash stick for you.

  • P67A-GD65 (B3) - Latest BIOS Killed PC

    I don't know what I was thinking downloading the latest BIOS when it clearly states recommended for Ivy Bridge only. I'm running with a Sandy Bridge i5.
    Problem is as follows:
    Call of Duty : Black Ops 2 is doing some weird stuff like not displaying at 1080p without crashing and not being able to v-sync. This is the only game in my library that has this problem
    So someone suggested I upgrade the BIOS which is a fair statement as mine was 1 year out of date. So, I copy the exe to the USB disk and let it do it's thing. PC reboots and powers up:
    - System power is OK (still not BIOS) but my 6950 GPU fan is doing something strange, then I remembered that I flashed it to a 6970 BIOS. Luckily it has a backup BIOS feature, so I switch back to default
    - The PC reboots and the BIOS updates / backs up the BIOS. Great.
    - PC now boot for 1 second then powers off, repeatedly for infinity
    I've cleared the CMOS and tried another PSU, removed everything but the CPU, but it seems to clear that the mobo has some micro code that is preventing the CPU from starting. It was OC'd to 4.2 but clearing the CMOS should reset to factory. I don't know....
    I'm a bit lost and have almost thrown in the towel. The PC is in bits at home now and I've contacted the reseller to see if they will kindly RMA it.
    Strange thing is this mobo has a backup BIOS. How do I access when my PC doesn't boot?

    I actually just updated to the newest BIOS myself.
    I am running a SB i7
    My PC still boot (I JUST installed W8 x64)
    It is is acting a bit weird.
    Though I am not sure if it is the External USB 3.0 enclosure atm or the mobo.
    USB 3.0 speeds are sloooowwww.
    Acessing the drive is slow as heck too, even if it use a 2.0 port.
    windows 8 ... more people complain about it making usb 3.0 slow ;S

    Non B3 version, as im aware ME can't be flashed,
    therefor update to newest BIOS base isn't possible
    Do not try MSI updater all in one .exe file, which would brick the board for sure for such case.
    Although you can still have a try by safest flashing way,
    use this bios archive:
    https://www.dropbox.com/s/28rdsq4lzzwmeyl/430.rar?dl=0
    and try again using the >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< mode 1 point to bios archive file as before
    if can't be flashed it will through an error and will refuse to flash it
    Hey Svet, thanks for the reply.....
    Well im not quite sure what happened, my new GPU got delivered and i thought you what i'll install it to the board and see what happens, im sure it won't work but hey it's worth a try......
    Well everything so far is working fine, GPU installed, drivers installed and i have tried a few games and they look great.
    Could it be that the bios is flashed to 4.3 but its not showing on the screen?
    Thanks

  • H67MA-E45 Updated to latest BIOS now won't load BIOS?

    Hi,
    I ran the latest BIOS update 7678v32, all seemed to go fine and it said BIOS update completed will now restart. Now the LED and fan starts for 1-2 secs then goes off straight away, this repeats every 10secs or so.
    I've tried clearing CMOS but still nothing. Any ideas
    Cheers
    Andy

    ok it sounds like a bricked board to me. you could try to first do a full CMOS clear to make sure!
    how to perform a full CMOS Clear:
    1: remove power cord from PSU!
    2: hold power Button on case for 30 seconds!
    3: remove the CMOS Battery for 5-30mins!
    4: now use the Clear Cmos Jumper to clear Data and then put it back in Keep Position
    5: put the CMOS Battery Back in!
    6: Reconnect Power
    7: Power the PC Back on
    if that doesn,t get the board working you have bricked the BIOS chip and it needs to be Re-programed and that will leave you with 2 options:
    1: send the board in to MSI for them to Directly Flash the Chip to get it working!
    2: Take the Board to a shop that has a SPI Flash Programmer to directly Flash the BIOS chip!

  • Boot Fail after latest BIOS Update on Flex 2-15D

    Hi everyone,
    I have a severe problem (I guess) after the latest BIOS Update. Windows 7 freezes during startup.
    I own a 64-bit Lenovo FLex 2 15D with AMD A6-6310 and R4, 4GB RAM and a SSHD (8GBSSH). I purchased it without OS and installed Windows 7 - which worked fine so far.
    I yesterday updated the BIOS with version 9FCN23WW (for Win7 and Win8), the latest BIOS update. A mistake, it seems.
    After Reboot, I first had to disable Secure Boot in the BIOS, because it would not let me boot at all. I figured out how to get into the BIOS-Setup to disable this (press Enter 2x, press Tab when in the Boot Menu to access the "Apps Menu", then "SETUP" - just in case this helps someone).
    Now Win7 begins to start up, but freezes during the startup process (the splash screen with the win flag freezes and looks a bit strange. I used the "protected mode" Windows Startup and saw that the process always hangs when loading "amdkmpfd.sys".
    That is basically it.I guess I have to find a way to re-install the previous version of the BIOS, but I have no idea how!
    Any idea?!
    Now about what I did to fix this (poor, but I tried):
    If I try to start from a Win7 installation CD-ROM (actually it is one for Dell PCs, but I guess that is not the problem) and press a key to boot from CD, Windows loads files, shows "Starting Windows"  and at a certain point again just freezes. When I -do not- press a key, WIndows Boot Manager shows up and mentions that "Windows failed to start (etc.)" "File: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\BCD" "An Error occurred while attempting to read the boot configuration data."
    I can't even boot into Linux on a USB stick, because the Windows "Error Recovery" (translated from German, sorry - my guess) won't let me when I try (just offers to boot to Win7 in protected mode - it could be that it fails immediately and jumps back to Win Startup).
    Thank you for every bit of help!
    Tristam
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I found our the solution to my problem with the help of SebastianLenovo ...
    In the BIOS / Boot Mode, I switched back from "UEFI" to "Legacy". That's it. That simple. The BIOS Upgrade routine just did not transfer that setting from the old BIOS to the new.
    Given the fact that 1. I did not change that setting, so it is default and 2. it would have been easy to avoid, if the BIOS update routine would be well programmed to transfer the current BIOS settings to the new, upgraded BIOS ...
    Anyway a strange situation that a 64-bit system has a 32-bit BIOS. Actually no Linux distribution (except FatDog and rescue systems) are able to deal with it - Linux only running as a Virtual Machine under Windows. I think this is inappropriate and really taking away a part of the fun if you can not run this laptop as a dual boot system.
    Thanks to Sebastian and I hope this solution helps someone in the future...
    Regards, Tristam.

  • X240 will not boot after latest bios update

    I bought windows 8 .1 machine from factory. Then I had local shop install 8.1 on larger ssd. I just performed latest bios update and now machine will not boot. I am sure this is uefi related but I am not knowledgable in that area. The boot parameter returned to me by the shop was "legacy only" and secure boot was disabled.

    Since doing the BIOS update are the settings still as you noted above?  You also didn't mention which SSD is now installed in the system.
    Just as an aside, installing Windows 8.1 in legacy mode isn't exactly optimal.  Were there any particular reasons for this? Just being curious.

  • BIOS update won't start on Satellite L40-14F

    My laptop's been acting wonky so I downloaded the latest BIOS update, but when I opened it a little black window popped up for a brief second and then nothing happened.
    I tried it multiple times, it did the same thing. I'm using Windows XP with SP3. I'd appreciate any help :(

  • D20 - latest bios-update (61j938usa.iso)

    Just an info,
    the latest bios-update caused the back-fan of my system (4158) keep spinning to fast. It didn't throttle down when Windows started. Front-fan was ok. Changing the fan-speed in the bios and even resetting it didn't helped.
    Returning to 61KT37A solved it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This is a BIOS bug introduced in BIOS 38A, and I've been able to reproduce the problem on my system as well.    Should be fixed with 39A when it gets released. 
    No real harm in running 38A, it's just a little noisy for the time being.

  • In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?

    Short :
    In the latest iOS updates, did Apple change the way Airplay communicate with other devices through Wifi?
    Detailed:
    We had a glitch with our Apple TV 3A 3-4 weeks ago and had to factory reset it (we reconfigured it with the exact same configuration than before the crash), it's now running iOS 7.0.2, I can't saw which version it ran before the problem though.
    It's used in a business environment with 30+ iPads 2, half of them are updated to 8.1.1 and the other half to 8.1.2. We use the latest iTunes version.
    Before the glitch that required a reset, all the iPads were detecting and mirroring when needed to the Apple TV, but now the iPads don't see the Apple TV in their list of Airplay devices anymore (but they detect various other devices inside our network).
    I have to add that our Apple TV is able to navigate the movie store correctly, so I assume that it's not an internet restriction issue from our end (also, the APple TV do not see either any of the many iPads on its device-detection screen.
    We successfully connected an iPhone 5S and an iPhone 6 through P2P Airplay, so it's not the issue, but when we connected the iPhones to our Wifi network (Same as all the other devices are using) the Apple TV suddenly disappeared from the choices.
    Hence the reason why I inquire to the possibility that some changes were made in one of the latest iOS revisions, if so, we would require some details so we can adjust our Wifi configuration accordingly to allow the proper detection of devices.
    P.S. I tried the basic troubleshooting of Airplay problems with no avail. Airplay button is displaying on the control panel, Airplay do not show the Apple TV at all (so it's not either the trick to display the Mirroring button), we also already proceeded to the suggested devices reboots, so my issue is quite more complex I believe.
    Thanks in advance.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

  • P67A-GD65 new system bios setting recommendations and sata connections

    Hey all,
    My old dual core HTPC (after many hours of use) finally gave up the ghost and moved on to the great PC grave yard . I have ordered all the new upgrade parts from Newegg and am looking for recommendations on what bios settings and setup procedures I should use on the initial bootup and Windows load. I'm not looking to overclock I just want a fast stable system for video decoding and playback. It's my understanding from the manual that SATA 1-2 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and 7-8 are controlled by the Marvell chip but I am unsure of SATA 3-6. Can SATA 3-6 do raid 0? I want to use the Crucial SSD as my primary boot drive and the 2 WD drives on raid 0 as my secondary drive. SATA connection advice (which SATA ports) and Raid Bios setting would be helpful. Should I install the raid 0 drives after I have Windows 7 loaded on the SSD? Any other setup advice is appreciated.
    Here is my setup.
    Windows 7 64bit
    Bach HTPC case
    Ultra LSP 750Pro PSU
    Intel i5-2500 3.3G CPU
    MSI P67A-GD65 Motherboard
    Sapphire HD5570 1G RT Video Card
    Crucial CTFDDAC128MAG-1G1 SSD 6.0Gb/s SATAIII (Primary boot drive)
    2 WD3200KS Hard Drives SATA 3.0Gb/s (Raid 0)
    Lite-on 12X Blu-Ray Burner SATA
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

    Two questions answered. SATA 3-6 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and do support Raid 0 but I still wonder if I should wait to install the drives until Windows has finished it's install.
    SATAIII controller integrated in Intel® P67 & Marvell SE9128 chipsets
    - Up to 6Gb/s transfer speed.
    - Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA1~2) by P67 PCH
    - Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA7~8) by Marvell SE9128
    - SATA1~6 ports support RAID 0/1/5/10 mode by Intel P67 PCH
    - SATA7~8 ports support RAID 0/1 mode by Marvell SE9128

  • P67A-GD65(B3), new BIOS 4.3 and power phases

    The old BIOS for P67A-GD65(B3) offered APS, Intel SVID and disabled as options for the power phases in the BIOS. The newest BIOS has no such option so I have to wonder whether APS and intel SVID are still around or all power phases options are set to disabled.
    I have 2 of those mainboards. In the first one the BIOS is upgraded to 4.3. The system has a Pentium G860 (Sandybridge) and a Corsair HX750 psu. Control Center reports system to have 1 phase active while idle but the phase system itself is reported as disabled. It is not reported as either Intel SVID or APS. This seems to be wrong though cause when system goes to full load all phases go active again.
    The other mainboard has an i5 2500K and was using BIOS v1.19. I had set the phase system to Intel SVID and indeed the phases changed between idle and full load. In a stupid attempt to benefit from Intel's rapid start technology that is supported on the latest BIOS and despite my better judgment I upgraded the BIOS to v 4.30. I had lots of issues with overclocking the CPU so I downgraded to 1.19 using the forum tool and the custom BIOS file. I may need to do a fresh installation of windows but according to the leds on the mainboard and the Control Center I can't get the mainboard to lower the phases even when idle. I've tried Intel SVID and APS in the BIOS but I had no luck. C1E is enabled along with every other energy saving feature. Currently and most of the time the i5 is running on stock clocks. I did notice that during the original upgrade from 1.19 to 4.30 in the BIOS the Intel ME was also upgraded from v7 to v8. I am not sure if the forum tool that reverted back the BIOS to v1.19 took care of the intel ME.
    So I wanted some clarification to what happens with the power phase system in the new BIOS (4.3) and a bit of help in regards to the other system that for the time being seems incapable of lowering CPU phases. The second system is using a Coolermaster Silent M 1000W psu. Both mainboards are equipped with 16GB of Corsair (XMS1600) memory. Both systems use aftermarket coolers that keep the temperature reasonably low while being very quiet. I could list the rest of the specs but I don't think they will matter much.

    The v4.3 was intended for those that decide to install an Ivy CPU. There must have been a reason why some of the features or settings were modified or eliminated to accomodate Ivy support. It may be best to ask this question directed towards the MSI Technical engineers.

    As for phases, it may depend on how many applications are running in the background.

  • Latest PS6 update won't download

    Latest (13.0.2) PS update, for Creative Cloud only, will not completely download, much less install.  All other Cloud programs (e.g., Illustrator) download and update without a problem.  I've been on the phone or chat with Adobe techs for at least 15 hours, without any improvement or change in the situation.  I have an open case on this issue but do not get any contact from Adobe unless I initiate it--which is a major time suck, of course.
    Am running Windows 7.  Have tried download wired and wireless.  Have de- and re-installed PS at least 4-5 times.  This installs original version 13.0.  I had been running version 13.0.1 and can update to it, but that no longer runs properly.  Have removed ALL Adobe software and files and re-installed.  Have updated video driver.   Have "updated" App Mgr several additional times.
    Can't think what else to try, and am not looking forward to another fruitless 4-hour phone call to Adobe help.
    I'd obviously appreciate any ideas.  Thanks.
    Gail

    Sorry to be so short--was in car with only phone.  Thanks for the thought.
    I spent hours and hours with a senior tech at Adobe.  He cleaned out
    everything once, and worked only on PS several times.  He did several of
    the downloads at his end.  No one seems to know what the problem is, and it
    is a problem only for Photoshop/Cloud update.  The program itself seems ok,
    but the first update doesn't work right (e.g., can't open original of
    photos from LR4.3 into PS or copies with LR adjustments).  The second, most
    recent, update won't download past 99%.  "Tis a mystery.
