should i enable bios boot function first?
Yes Enable BIOS Boot Function as it will need that to flash from USB stick

also, switching the bios with the switch when the system is on safe?I am very scared to brick this bios also :(
the flipping BIOS Switch while in the BIOS to the other in this situation is OK to do as we worked this out as a viable recovery technique when the Z77 mpower boards kept getting a single bricked chip and as the actual way that functions on a BIOS level is the same it should have no problems at all to flip it live to attempt recovery of that bad chip!
ALL the boards with 2 BIOS chips Advise against doing it but we have had a near 0 fail rate reported by doing that as the Z77 M-powers where notorious for having either BIOS A or B Bricked by a failed flash and doing it the way i advised usually helps to recover the chip with very little risk to the working one as long as you have flipped the switch before the flash starts! (wouldn't want a failed flash on the working chip too as then you are really out of options)
(Reason for them Advising Against it is it will imprint a copy of the settings and MFLASH from one chip to the other via data held in your RAM to the one you just switched to and on a functioning chip that could brick it badly but as the one you are switching to is already bricked and totally non functional it has a near 0 chance of messing up anything as its already FUBAR and a 90-100% chance of fixing it via a new flash to it)
Does that answer your questions and put your mind at ease?

  • I misplace my iPad mini with a pink case and the iPad is white, I lost it in eagle rock plaza mall on one of the couches , please help me find it   i got it for my graduation gift

    I misplace my iPad mini white with a pink case in eagle Rock mall on Friday may 16,2014 on one of the couches second level. Glendale Cali.please help me find it I got it for my graduation   :(

    If you had "Find My iPad" enabled in Settings > iCloud then you may be able to locate it. If not, you cannot locate it.
    If it was enabled then you can try locating it via http://icloud.com on a computer or the App "Find My iPhone" on another iDevice. Note: this will only work if your device is connected to a network and the device hasn't already been restored as new and/or "Find My iPad" has not been disabled on it. Note: Disabling "Find My iPad" is much more difficult in iOS 7.
    If you think that your device was stolen rather than lost then you should report it to the police. In either case you should contact your carrier, change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

  • How can I link two frames via a button on one of the frame?help Plz

    Ok,here is the problem. I got two fully working java frames,each has different funcion. On one of the frames(my home Frame" Frame 1" ) i got a button called "Add User", when i press it i should then get my other frame(Frame2) to popup/run. in Frame1 i got this code as action for the add user button.Note: each Frame have thier own Main class.
    public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e)
    if (e.getSource()==jbtnAddUser)
    // new Frame2(this,"hshsh",jb);
    ////////////// The commented line is where i am not sure what to put in there, Frame1 is the name of my Frame 2 class......
    Please could anyone tell me how do i link Frame 2 to Frame 1....i appreciate it....Max

    You can create both together on pgm startup (instaniation of the class).
    Next for frame1 - I'll call it - you can setBounds(int, int, int, int) and setVisible(true); When you press the button on frame1 to get frame2, you can then do frame1.hide(), followed by frame2 setBounds and setVisible. Finally, when you are done with frame2 you can do frame2.dispose() and frame1.show(). try that.

  • I have two external HDs, I plugged both in my iMac. I can open both but I can't copy or move from one to the other any help?

    I have two external HDs, I plugged both in my iMac. I can open both, I cn move files to my mac. but I can't copy or move files from one EHD to the other EHD any help?

    I assume your External HDDs are formatted in NTFS. With this format OSX can see files and copy from but cant copy or move to those devices. You need to install any third party software to enable both way copy/move feature. You can use TUXERA NTFS in OSX. It is fantastic software to solve your problem.

  • Just started using firefox seriously. my user interface does not look like the one in the 'tour'. please help

    i downloaded firefox a long time ago but havent used it extensively because i liked chrome. but recently chrome is just too difficult and if there is an issue i cant speak to anyone. so i am trying firefox. i went to take the user interface tour and there is suppose to be a button on the right hand side to help with bookmarks but my 'version' doesnt have that. was wondering how i get that and if i may have the wrong version.
    also....i cant seem to find where to turn autofill on and right now its not working except with the occasional email address.
    and one more thing....all streaming videos...tv, utube, art instruction..trailers...all get chunked up. nothing ever runs smoothly. and i am paying to get good download speed.
    i would appreciate any help on these three issues.
    thank you

    About the videos:
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

  • MSI MPOWER MAX Z87 - RAID failure after BIOS update (settings reset)

    I use the integrated intel RAID controller to create a 2 disk RAID-0 6TB (2x3TB), but everytime I update the BIOS, there is a RAID failure.
    It does not matter if I use Live Update or the Update BIOS+ME option of the BIOS menu. All settings are lost, and after the boot the RAID controller is deactivated due to that. I go to BIOS right after the auto-reboot and re-enter my settings (RAID instead of AHCI), but the intel controller only sees 1 disk as a RAID member. Recovery option is not active when I enter the controller options (control+I). I always need to delete and recreate the RAID, which of course loses all data.
    Very frustrating!
    Am I doing the update wrong? I know I did it once and settings were not reset, my RAID was kept intact, but I believe it was only 1 time of 4 or 5 updates I did to my MPOWER MAX.

    Hi, thanks for trying to help!
    - I use Windows 8.1.
    - My vga does not support UEFI so I use... legacy mode? (I'm not that familiar with BIOS->UEFI yet, sorry.)
    - According to Intel RST, the RAID HDDs are on ports 2 and 3.
    - This time the update was from 1.80 to 1.90.
    1.70 to 1.80 also resulted in the same problem, but I used LiveUpdate.
    For previous updates, I don't remember but I sometimes I used LiveUpdate, sometimes the BIOS feature.
    I'm pretty sure that only once the RAID was kept intact, and I don't remember the versions or method I used, but I believe I used the BIOS method (don't know if needed BIOS+ME or not), not LiveUpdate.

  • MSI Z87 MPower MAX LN2 help

    Went cold today on this mb and had no luck still learning haswell
    But was able to get 5.2-5.3 4c8t 5.5 2c2t on ss but for some reason can't even get 5.4 4c8t to post on ln2
    Never used a msi mb before so not sure what to do with all the settings and power settings...
    Also was told it also has a ln2 jumper but doesn't seem to unlock anything in the bios or help with ocing
    So if anyone wants to share some ln2 settings that would be great going to try again tomorrow

    You might send him an e-mail, but he used ES CPU and maybe even modded BIOS and mainboard.

    Not going to get much with help here at this forum with exotic OC'ing. Most that come here just want their machines to work stock/auto/default, or an everyday sustainable OC within normal published limitations. Might try OC clubs, HBot, Extreme Systems, or places like that.

  • Questions about flashing the bios

    Hi everyone. I have a few questions about the process involved in a bios update.
    First, I should tell you I have a Lenovo G470 that sometimes has problems booting.
    The problem is I turn on the laptop and after 2-3 seconds it shuts down. I see the logo, and nothing else. After that I can spend hours trying to turn it on again, and keeps failing. After some time, I turn it on and use it without problems.
    Before these problems, I had experienced similar troubles, but I could fix it (in my way) and I explained it in this post: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/Lenovo-g470-shutdown-problems-in-intervals-of-...
    Ok, In that post a reply says that a possible solution could be a Bios update. So, I've been thinking to flash the bios to solve my actual problem, but I would like to ask you some questions:
    1. Updating the bios could be a solution for this case?
    2. How long does it take to update a lenovo G470 bios? (I ask this because I read that if a problem occurs in the middle the damage can be serious, and in the past I had these random shutdowns, so I'm a bit afraid)
    3. How am I sure if my bios is or not updated? (there's a way to check this from windows?)
    4. Finally, if you could give me a link to download the correct bios update I'll thank you.
    I think that's all. I apologize for my basic english and hope you could give me some clues on this, because, as you see, I'm a total newbie.
    Thanks!

    hi alemaneitor,
    Regarding your questions:
    1. Yes, flashing the BIOS may help solve your problem as it will re-write the configurations on the CMOS. Take note though of the changelogs or README (repair changes) as the latest BIOS updates fixes critical issues on the hardware.
    I've also seen some units that act the same as yours and doing a gpu reflow most of the time fixes the issue - see this thread in reference.
    2. In flashing the BIOS outside of Windows, it takes less than a minute. If you need to run the BIOS flash utility inside Windows, it may take 1-2mins.
    3. If there's a new BIOS that fixes critical issues, it's most of the time uploaded on the lenovo website (in some cases, BIOS updates are not available to the public and can only be used by service technicians)
    4. The latest BIOS update for the Lenovo G470 is the one below that fixes an issue on units that can not enter BIOS after restart under compatible HDD mode (see README.TXT)
    BIOS Update for 32bit Windows
    40cn33ww_32.exe
    3.28MB
    BIOS Update for 64bit Windows
    40cn33ww_64.exe
    3.67MB

  • How do I install a SSD drive - the Bios does not allow changing to AHCI mode

    I have a Windows 7, HP ENVY approx 1.5 years old.  I want to install an SSD drive, however the BIOS seems to be locked, or does not include options to change the SATA connection to AHCI or RAID.
    How does one unlock the BIOS, or change the sata settings to allow an SSD drive to be installed?

    Hi:
    AHCI is enabled by default on today's HP consumer notebooks.
    Nothing can be done to actually see a setting, or change the setting to anything other than AHCI etc.

  • MSI R9 270X Gaming 2G has the flicker/jitter issue. Does the BIOS update work?

    Hey all, my internet research led me here for the flicker/jitter issue as seen in this Youtube video. The video isn't mine, but my issue is similar but worse as the screen with completely black out for a second.
    It mostly happens when web browsing, but once in a while it'll happen while gaming. Strangely, it only happens on my primary display, not on my secondary display.
    My serial number (minus the last three digits) is: 602-V303-07SB1312029XXX
    I can't seem to find if the BIOS flash helped anyone or not, I'm assuming it has though because I haven't read any reports of people looking for more help after the flash.
    So here are my questions:
    Which vBIOS do I need and where can I find it?
    My card has the BIOS switch, which position should it be on for the flash?
    Lastly, whats the best method to flash the new BIOS?
    Thank you for your time.

    You can try flash to the latest UEFI vbios TV303MH.1A0...
    This vbios is for all V303-07S card.
    the flash method also wrote in this thread.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=182256.msg1309322#msg1309322
    Edit: I just check the vBIOS switch, the other vbios should be UEFI already, try switch to the other vbios, and see if the flicker/jitter issue happen?
