MOVED: Updating Bios P45 Platinium- resulted bad overcloking potential

I moved your post as it belongs in the overclocking section.
Also, it's not advisable to use live update to flash a bios. Additionally, if you aren't having issues or you aren't going to use new hardware(mostly a new version of CPU) that the update addresses, DON't FLASH. A bios is NOT a driver. If it 'aint broke don't flash. Lastly, if you do need to flash and you have an MSI retail board with an MS OS on it, use the flash utility developed here at these forums:

You asked Mike, but in layman's terms smart fan is a fan that will automatically adjust its rpms based on the system's temperature. S3 is an industry standard for when the computer goes to "sleep" in order to save energy.
i went in bios for a look on smartfan, i found it, mines is disabled and iam unsure how it should be set, so i left it alone, it has options to change it from 40c up to 70c, but iam unsure what it should be set to, could someone tell me ??
i also noticed that in bios i can set the system fans too, 3 settings, 50%, 75% and 100%, mines are all on 100%, again i left them alone at 100% as iam not sure what they should be set to, can someone please tell me ??
This may help, i have an i7 920 and its clocked to 3500, my tempreatures are not too bad, on running the intel burn test the very very most the cpu temp peaks at for a second now and again is 64c.
And my system sounds like a rocket ship, LOL, fans are LOUD.
hope someone can help ,me.

I gave up and tried inserting my old athlon 64 3500 in and it now works, although sometimes the screen gives no signal so I reset.
However now my ethernet controller is not working so I can't access the net through my router. I've installed the NVIDIA nForce3 System Drivers from http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=587
as well as getting the Realtek Gigabit Ethernet Drivers off there and installing a 'LAN utility' off it. Couldn't execute anything else with it.
But no luck. My pc recognises the LAN as connected but I can't access my router nor the net. In System it shows my ethernet driver as a question mark.
At the moment I just want to get back online.
p.s.: I was flashing so I get my dual core to work. My bios at the time (never been updated) only saw it as single core.
EDIT: In system I've tried updating the ethernet driver that way but no luck.
"I gave up and tried inserting my old athlon 64 3500 in and it now works, although sometimes the screen gives no signal so I reset."
Try with just one memory stick, also provide details about memory sticks used.
You can try to setup memory voltage in BIOS to 2.7V && re-test.
Also try with another PSU as suggested.

BIOS update may need OS re-install in some cases.
Also check BIOS settings and ensure that they are properly configured. {"LOAD BIOS OPTIMIZED DEFAULT" 1st}

MOVED: Updated Bios, Now Overclocking Won't Work

Tried changing the ratio and vcore in the Control Center without any Bios changes, it changed and saved, 4.5 ghz with 1.310v . Then my pc went to blue screen. What would stop the overclocking in this set up:
Enabled: Internal PLL Overvoltage, Execute Disable Bit, Intel Virtualization Tech
Disabled: Limit CPUID Maximum, Power Technology, C1E Support, Overspeed Protection, Spread Spectrum
Also Turbo enabled.

*MSI recommend you to update BIOS with ME8 only if you are using Ivy Bridge 22nm CPU.
Sorry to say but it seams illogical. AFAIK it is impossible to flash form SB to IB bios using Ivy Bridge. Am I wrong?
Going further... I can not find any positive reports that users can get working system by changing cpu to Ivy after all those bad flashes. I see many suggestions to try it but I can not see any "success!" info. IMHO MSI flash procedure is just "somehow" unreliable. It is nice that MSI decided to support IB on older motherboards but we see too many bricks on our forum.
My idea (wild guess) to avoid bricking is to flash with only one stick of memory.
PS: IMHO Click Bios II attracts too much too many P67 users (like me)

After a bad flash, you are not supposed to shut down the computer. You did so there's nothing we can do about that now. Best you can do is try bios recovery. See thread below. If it does not work you need a new bios chip.

hgled8888,
They are all good heatsinks, I do not think you will go wrong with any of them.
As for the BIOS, the difference is Award vs Phoenix. I use mobos from Abit, ASUS, and MSI, you get used to them, if you can get though one BIOS, you will have little trouble getting used to the other.
As for moving over from "The Dark Side of the Force" over to AMD, welcome to the other side, you will love it and never look back.
Take Care,
Richard

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.

Updated bios via Live Update and now my Network card isn't detected

I have an msi Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard and I updated some drivers and the bios via msi Live Update 6 last night and now my computer refuses to recognize my network adapter. The adapter is a TRENDnet N600, plugs into PCIe if I'm not mistaken. Wifi if my only option with this computer, I can't use ethernet, so it's really important I get the network card working again. I have had zero issues with it until this.
The reason I was updating was to try to get my third monitor to work when plugged into the mobo, while my other two were plugged into the graphics card (which I also installed yesterday, but it's working fine). Note that it still was not working, but I had enabled the IGD Multi-Monitor from bios.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I did try uninstalling the drivers but it still won't detect the network card. I also tried disconnecting and reconnecting the network card (and I cleaned the port for good measure).
I've only been using Windows computers for a year, so bear with me if there's stuff I don't know. Thanks in advance. I can try to get a full list of what was installed later tonight, but all of it that I can find has been uninstalled at this point.
Note: I did not flash the bios when I installed, which I have now heard is a bad idea, apparently. l:

what OS you are running?

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....

16GB SODIMM anyone interested in pushing TOSHIBA together to update BIOS

Hi,
Anyone interested to convice Toshiba to update the BIOS Memory Reference Code routine to recognize the new 16GByte SODIMM modules released by the memory company I´m Intelligent for the differnet product lines including laptop Satellite?
We could have 32GB with two slots.
So, please answer the ones interested and stay tuned.
Thanks.
KR,
RI

Thanks, Jerry, for the quick reply.
Before I posted my original question I had been through all available downloads/docs for my Satellite and read up on the Battery Manager feature on some of the Toshiba notebooks.
My Satellite does NOT have the Battery Manager feature/app among the many Toshiba-branded utilities. Only "ecoMode," which doesn't appear to do much exept trim down power consumption, and "PC Health Monitor," which reports info on battery charge level, etc, and allows access to Windows power management plans for tweaking. But no Tosh-branded Battery Manager application...
What I'm trying to determine is whether it could be ADDED to my machine, by updating BIOS to a newer TOSH version (maybe that's a bad idea), or by downloading a utility app for a newer Toshiba laptop, or both?
"Officially" it appears that the Battery Manager (and therefore, Eco Charge) was not available for my older L505, but what I want to know is whether I could add it somehow?

you are using the wrong bios archives and not what flobelix told you:
Quote from: flobelix on 04-December-14, 04:29:57
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the linked archive: >>https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=184264.0;attach=13927<< 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 from working bios.
G.) Once it booted successfully switch to the bad bios without powering down or rebooting
H.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash the bad bios
I.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_me10_mb.zip

Go to Solution.

okay i burn cd with Nero Boot working but result is same ... any other ideas ?
BTW >>>...<<<<
The Standart PC Have 512 mb ram, Pentium 4 but i never change this cpu i get it like i have it now.
Before i update bios from os cpu has 2 core and system working well ...
My question is bios can set how much cpu to use OS ?
Sec. is there have a program that can change "ROM" file to my way ?
Here have something wrong with that bios, let lenovo dev revers it and see it.
I will buy IDA and revers it like my way. i don't see other way..
