MS-6120 and BIOS problems

Hi, I have a 6120 Dual Slot1 motherboard version 1.1 and I'm having some problem with BIOS v2.0. I'm using on it 2 Pentium3 500MHz Katmai processors and from when I upgraded BIOS to the version I'm using now my system recognize only one CPU even if there's 2 CPUs, one CPU and the terminator provided with the motherboard in the free slot and one CPU alone without anything else in the other slot. It happens even if I put one CPU in the first or in the second slot, and with a previous BIOS (I don't remember the version I had before) it never happened. How can I solve this problem?

are they identical
is that xp pro as home will never see 2x cpu
XP Home works with only one cpu, XP Pro works with 1 or 2 cpus.
In the last days i tryed to flash it with bios 1.9, 1.8 and 1.6 but the motherboard and the os (i tryed Windows 2000 Server too) see only one cpu.

MSI Geforce 3 WDM and bios problem plz help!!!

Hi
I have a MSI Geforce 3 Ti200 Pro-VT and when i install any detenator driver above 23.11 then the capture card wont work! The driver for the capture device says it wont start so i am stuck with 23.11. I have tries later WDM drivers and detenator drivers but they all give the same problem! I have also tried to flash the bios but live update 2 says Your Display Card does not support MSI Live Update 2 function which it is supposed to have. When i go directly to the bios page and try to update it then the update fails. The flash program seems to think that i have a different card or something but my system information says that i do. This it the information:
VGA Card Manufacturer MSI
VGA Card Model Name MS-8850
VGA Card BIOS Vendor NVIDIA
VGA Card BIOS Version 3.20.00.18.03
VGA Card Driver Version 2311
Can someone please help me cause it would be nice to have the latest drivers working for the card.
Thanks
Nixus

I downloaded the bios files from http://tw.msi.com.tw/autobios/SVga/Bios/Ms8850/v111/ and then downloaded NVFLASH.EXE and booted in dos and flashed the card i had to force the flash though it had some conflict of data or something but i knew it was the right bios and i had made a backup of the current one plust the card has dual bios so i wasnt too worried and it all worked out fine.
Goodluck with gettin all your cards workin

Performance and bios problems with K8T

Hi, I recently installed a new graphics card (6800 LE) but when I went to benchmark it the scores were way down, 6377 in 3dmark 03 and 28,421 in Aquamark, and that was after I had installed the latest bios and mobo drivers from MSI, unlocked the cards pipelines to 16 and shaders to 6, installed the latest XG Nvidia drivers (80.40 ) and checked about everything else I could think of.
I looked at RivaTuner and in the Northbridge info it said AGP status - disabled and in the Display Adaptor info, AGP status - disabled. In the bios the setting for AGP is greyed out ( or blued out ) so I am unable to set it to 8X or even check what it is set for.
Just to add the icing on the cake I now find that I can't get into bios with my existing keyboard as it's a USB model. I refitted my old ps2 keyboard and got into bios where I enabled the setting for legacy devices but there was no setting for usb 1.1 port 64/60 Emulation as listed in the manua.
Any assistance on any of these problems would be gratefully received. Tal

I reloaded the 4 in 1 drivers and the XG 80.40 graphics drivers and my bechmarks soared. Thank a lot Tiresmoke.

Satellite L750D - BIOS update 2.1 and sound problem

Hello
I have little problem. I have been downloaded from your website BIOS 2.1 for Toshiba Satellite L750D (PSK32E).
I have been updated BIOS to 2.1 and start problem with sound. When I start game, music or something other only 2 first minutes sound plays properly but then it stops for no reason. No sound at all. I have been reinstalled op system but the problem is still there.
Sound works for 2 minutes only then is completely off. Every start application with sound plays 2 minutes and stop all quiet is. I have made a probe on my mother laptop its a twin laptop. I have been updated bios same problem 2 minutes and then no sound. My operating system is win 8 pro 64 my mother laptop is with win 7 x64 premium.
Two BIOS updated 2.1 ver on L750D and the problem is same. Please fix BIOS.

The BIOS seems to be very old. I was released nearly 1.5 years ago so to be honest I doubt its and BIOS issue.
I had the similar issue with my other notebook equipped with an Realtek sound card.
The sound appeared again after plugging and removing the headphone jack
But i could solve this installing the newest sound driver update from Realtek driver page.
But it seems that your Satellite does not support Realtek sound chip but Conexant sound chip.
Therefore the solution might not be useful for you.
However, I think you need to update the sound driver.I recommend you to google for Conexant SmartAudio HD driver and to test the newest available driver version.
In internet I could found the Conexant SmartAudio HD Driver version 8.65.9.51 for Win 7/ Win 8 / Win 8.1
Not quite sure if this is the newest version but you can test it.
In order to manually update your driver:
1. Go to Device Manager (right click on My Computer, choose Manage and then find Device Manager in the left panel)
2. Right click on the hardware device you wish to update and choose Update Driver Software
3. Choose to select the location of the new driver manually and browse to the folder where you downloaded the driver

600 and 600e modem problem, and BIOS update

I hope I can find the answers to my 600 and 600e problems here. I've looked over the whole community and can't find the answer to my problems.
BIOS Problem: For some reason I can't update the bios on either machine. I am upgrading from 98 to 2000. I believe I need spsdib54 as a BIOS update. I find IBM laptops rather difficult to update. I have worked on a few computers in my day, but never IBM until now, and the learning curve is hell. I have a floppy drive but can't get the laptop to allow the spsdib54 file to open. I get a remove media message and then hit any key to continue. I'm lost here.and theIBM instructions are no help
MODEM Problem. I am trying to use AOL dialup. I install 2000, and can test my modem on both machines. I install AOL with no problems. Both laptops will dial out and get the correct Phone numbers. When I let AOL use smart connect and try to proceed, I loose all modem activity, and can't get it back even with the Modem upgrade which I have done. ....help

K9N Platinum and BIOS flashing

New to MSI and this forum
I have a K9N Platinum which I've had some problems with and also need to flash the BIOS.
Problems are: Leadtek TV tuner card video problem watching TV (image and sound freezing) then my laser printer would not print through the parrallel port (works okay through a USB port).
Have had no real solutions from MSI with those two problems
Just recently I've come into owning a MSI 7950 GX2 video card.
Apparently this card won't work with the K9N unless I flash upgrade the BIOS (using A7250NMS, V1.20)
I know my way around computer hardware but BIOS flashing I've never done.
I'm using a NTFS file system,OS is WINXP SP1, processor AMD64 4800+ and HDD Hitachi 250GB SATA2
I have two choices to use these brand new video card:
1: Try to flash the BIOS (with the obvious risks involved)
2: Replace the K9N board with one that is compatible with the 7950 (bearing in mind the other problems with the K9N)
I've read artcles from this site and MSI about flashing using a NTFS file system and I'm not confident.
I know this post is between BIOS and motherboards so it was hard to decide where to place it.
If anyone has any thoughts on the best solution for this it would be appreciated

First of all , make sure you have a "fixedup" motherboard .
( the capacitor fix , see info in the "Post your K9N Ultra/Platinum (non SLI) 'Power Off' Issues Here (NForce 570 MCP)" thread)

Flash bios doesn't need to be done from HD .

GTX 660M black screen with Nvidia driver, maybe a BIOS problem

Hello Svet,
I need help with this please, if it is indeed a BIOS problem:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=254620.0
My laptop uses the Aptio Setup Utility Version 2.10.1208
BIOS Version: E16F2IMT.300
BIOS Build: 05/31/2011
EC Version 16F2EG61 Ver4.22
EC Build 04/21/2011
I found a new BIOS for it following the link from the Power Pro official site, but I have no idea if it would do the job.
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GT683.html#down-driver
This is my laptop:
PowerPro R 11:36-560
MSI 937-16F231-004

Ok, from you're answer I understand that flashing the GPU with a compatible vBIOS is either not a solution for the problem,
yes don't think that can help for this case
and also will be high risky to brick your card
and even if its not bricked[survive flashing] don't think that can change anything
eventually you can try flashing your system notebook BIOS to the latest version for your notebook,
to check if that can helps by chance.
For it you have to ask your notebook vendor [power notebooks]
to provide you with the latest BIOS for your NB
rather than this don't think any modded stuffs can help with this.

Pavilion DV9008NR BIOS problem Windows 8 32-bit

I have an older Pavilion DV9008NR notebook:
RAM - 2 GB RAM
CPU - Athlon Turion 64 x2 1.6 GHz TL-50
Motherboard - Quanta 30B9
Chipset - NVDIA GeForce 6150
Southbridge - NVIDIA NForce 410/430 MCP
BIOS HP F.43 3/22/2010
Nvidia GPU - GeForce Go 6150 (UMA) (display adapter MS Bsic Disply Adapter C52 A.2
This was previously loaded with WinXP SP3 and slipstreamed with nLite 1.42 to load SATA drivers. It had previously had the BIOS flashed to F.43 (latest version).
It was "clean" upgraded with Windows 8 Pro Upgrade after passing all tests.
Upon rebooting, I got the standard HP/Phoenix BIOS screen with the usual prompts for <F10> BIOS Setup and <Esc> Boot Order.
Every time after that, the <F10> and <Esc> prompts are gone, and Win8 loads *faster* than usual.
Win 8 functionality appears fine, and the need Ricoh 5-in-1 and NVIDIA coprocesser drivers loaded without difficulty.
I went back to my old WinXP image, and BIOS loaded several times normally with <F10> and <Esc> prompts.
After reloading Win8, back to problem of no prompts after first reboot.
Trying <F10> or <Esc> during the BIOS load does *not* get you into BIOS Setup or Boot Order.
It appears that somewhere that Win8 is "pre-empting" the normal "flow" of the BIOS.
I do understand that Win8 does have some feature to take control to keep Boot Sector malware from taking control.
Is this what is happening? (Which becomes a real problem with <F10> and <Esc> maybe needed),
Is this a BIOS bug, or
Is there something else.
Thanks~

I'm sorry but this was very difficult to read. If I understand you are having an issue installing Windows 8 32-bit. Is this right?
If so this is not supported as per http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5628. Specifically: "If you need to use a 32-bit version, you need to use Boot Camp 4 Support Software, and you must use Windows 7. 32-bit versions of Windows 8 are not supported via Boot Camp."

S440 and Onelink problem

I just bought S440 and Onelink Pro Dock. I have two external monitor attached to dock. When I turn computer on using the power button on the dock I can't log in if laptops lid is closed. It uses extend monitors and S440's monitor is the main monitor alltough it is closed. So I have to open the lid, log in and close the lid. How can I log in without opening the lid? I am using Windows 7 Pro and updated all drivers and bios.
Solved!

Problem solved! I have to use "Only projektor"- mode instead of "Extended"

Diamond Plus and shutdown problem *resolved*

I am just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. There is one other fellow on another forum that just built a system around this board that is experiencing a similar situation.
I am running windows (32 bit) and using the original bios (no issues so far, except this if it is one)
Approximately 60-75% of the time when I go to shut down or restart it acts like I didn't click it, but when I click it the second time it functions normally then.
When I installed this mainboard it replaced an Asus A8N SLI board, I needed to save some E mails that I had forgotten to save so I did a repair installation of windows. I just attributed the shutdown "glitch" to that. I am about to reformat and reinstall windows fresh this morning, maybe this will solve the problem. (but my gut tells me it probably won't) Also I installed the SW-ide drivers and the NVidia firewall, which I won't be installing this time.

Quote from: kakarocht on 22-March-06, 23:08:52
Do you do any ocing? Have you tried to up the RAM voltage? is your windows is properly installed??
Yes I do a little overclocking, 2.6Ghz - 217 FSB but SuperPi and Prime 95 stable at that speed. I just reformatted and the problem is gone, Like I had mentioned I had done a repair installation when I installed the board from an Asus A8N in order to retrieve some E-Mails, I didn't have the chance to reformat until today. I really didn't think that would have fixed it, so much for my gut feeling.......

K8N Neo4 Plat, SATA2 and Shutdown Problem...

Hi, new here.
Glad to have a board like this to ask some questions to other users.
Purchased the board a few months ago, and apart from the noisy NB fan, all was ok.
Then recently bought a 200GB SATA2 drive (see specs in signature).
Since its installation, but not before, I've had a systematic shutdown and reboot problem: the shutdown proceeds as usual, the "Windows is shutting down" and "Saving preferences" dialogs come and then disapear... but then only the mouse cursor is left on blank screen (it can even be moved), and the shutdown process doesn't go further; after several minutes I just shut it down with the power button.
The event logs don't show anything problematic.
A few more details:
My drivers are the most recent (official) from MSI.
I've installed Win2000 in ACPI Uniprocessor PC Mode.
The drive is recognized as a sata2 device.
I use the SATA#1 (nVidia) port.
I've put the pagefile on that drive.
Nothing is overclocked, CoreCenter is disabled.
I've installed the UPH Clean tool from Microsoft, but that didn't help.
Memory passed lengthy memtest session.
Strangely, the SATA2 drive appears in the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" list in the tray, usually reserved for connectable devices (USB, etc): is that normal? (I'm new to sata drives)
I've searched this board for similar problems, but they seemed to be mostly in RAID context, which isn't the case for my system.
Any idea what might be the problem ? Anyone experienced the same problem (non-RAID) ?
Apart from above problem, drive seems to function normally.
Thanks in advance.

@gerasimatos: maybe he used xsetup? didn't try it yet, will have a look. In the BIOS, all RAID-related settings are disabled.
@kakarocht: the power managment in the BIOS has the default settings.
Will try to change a few params here and there.
I have not tried yet other ports on nVidia controllers.
I may eventually try the Sil ports, in last resorts, BUT I would prefer to solve this issue with nVidia ports first (I think at the price we pay these things we shouldn't be precluded from half the SATA ports! )
I tried to list as much relevant specs as I could in the signature and post. Here are others:
memory used at 2.5-3-3-7 1T setting (memtest passed)
regular ps/2 keyboard
ms intellimouse (using ps/2 connection)
the asus graphic card used in single monitor mode (recent drivers)
when I said "CoreCenter" disabled above, meant "Cool'n'Quiet" disabled (not stressing system yet, so 'cool' isn't an issue; as for quiet, if the board can't lower the NB fan speed, it's a non-issue!!!)
using on-board sound-card
using onboard gigabit port for internet connection
no other peripherals installed presently
hard drives temps stay under 40 C (not stressing system lately)
I removed DigiCell and CoreCenter from loading at startup (don't need them for now)
closing firewall (zonelalarm) before shutdown didn't help (although didn't try unloading the service yet)
... what else might be of help to list?...
Again, I'd like to know if it's normal that a SATA2 hd drive appear in the "Unplug and Eject Hardware" tray icon list; I wasn't expecting that, but I'm new to this kind of connection.

W530 and a problem with the sound card

Hi,
Whenever I play a song or a tune, I experience a reoccurring glitch or a "bzzzzzt" for about half a second, before the sound gets back to normal. This seems to be totally random, and not caused by heavy usage of RAM or the processor.
Do you think this is a hardware problem or a driver related issue?
Any suggestions to solve this are appreciated.

Hi, Dolve
This could be either hardware or software, so let's start with trying to get all drivers and software up to date. This page has updates for all your system. I would recommend getting at least your latest audio driver and BIOS downloaded. Following the installation, try using your sound again and see if the issue still persists.
Best,
Adam

MSI GT70 (0NE-452) Refuses to Boot/random shut downs - BIOS problem?

Hello,
I recently purchased a MSI GT70 0NE-452 laptop from Xotic PC. It came with Windows 8, but since Windows 8 broke most of Adobe Premiere, Vegas, and After Effects, I wiped the RAID0 SSDs and installed Windows 7. I've reinstalled all the drivers and have been comfortably setup for about a week or 2. Unfortunately now, the laptop has been behaving strangely.
1) Random shutdowns, regardless of whether I'm connected to power or not. And I know it isn't because the battery died. (This might be fixed now since I downloaded another driver for the CPU Thermal Control)
2) Laptop won't turn on first-try. I press the power button and the power button flashes orange but nothing happens. It will only turn on once I've removed the battery and put it back in.
I have a feeling this could be a BIOS problem, and possibly attributable to the Windows 7 reformat, but I'm not sure. My BIOS is currently: American Megatrends Inc E1762MS.50U, 11/23/12.
The MSI website for my model has a Bios update:
Release Date: 2012-12-14
Description: Fix HDMI/DP hot plug no function after S3 resume
Non-Win8
E1762IMS.30R
Can someone please advise? Should I try my hand at flashing the BIOS with this update and hope it solves the problem, or should I just call MSI and get it fixed by them?
Any help is much appreciated, thank you very much!

I'll take your advice but can you clarify a bit? Is it something beyond a BIOS repair?
