[BIOS REQUEST] MSI 270X Hawk 2GB

Hi! I have a problem with a newly purchased MSI 270X Hawk 2GB. I have tried it in the following PCs:
PC 1
Main Board: Asrock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
Bios Version: 2.30 (newest)
Video Card: MSI 270X Hawk 2GB
PSU: FSP ATX-400PNF
12v rail Rating of listed PSU: 12V1: 18A, 12V2: 18A
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz
Memory: 2 x KINGSTON 8GB HyperX XMP Blu DDR3 1600MHz CL9 [KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX]
SSD: Samsung 830 64GB (Tried with a Samsung HD502HJ HDD too, on a fresh Windows 7 install, same results)
CPU COOLER: Cooler Master Hyper TX2
OC: No
Operating System: Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64 bit
PC 2
Main Board: Gigabyte G41M-ES2L
Bios Version: F3
Video Card: MSI 270X Hawk 2GB
PSU: FSP ATX-350PNF
12v rail Rating of listed PSU: 12V1: 18A, 12V2: 16A
CPU: Intel Pentium E5300 2.6GHz
Memory: 2 x 2GB Kingmax DDR2 1066MHz [KLEE88F-B8NU6]

CPU COOLER: stock
OC: No
Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit
GPU S/N: 602-V303-02SB1312000115
It works with the default windows driver in both PCs, but when the AMD driver is installed it fails after the windows welcome screen. Sometimes the screen turns blue, sometimes black/grey, and sometimes there are blue squares in lines on the screen and the PC freezes up. To get it to work again I have to boot into safe mode and remove the driver with Display Driver Uninstaller, since the normal uninstaller doesnt work in safe mode.
Drivers I tried:
13-12_win7_win8_64_dd_ccc_whql
amd_catalyst_14.1_betav1.6
MSI Graphics Driver (both from the CD and the website)
Tried with both BIOS modes. Tried in both PCI-E slots in the asrock board. The 6 pin power connectors are split between the two rails.
I also have an MSI 270X Gaming 2GB, and it works in both PCs without issues. The previous owner updated the BIOS on that one.
I know that the PSUs are far from optimal, but they had no problems with the 270X Gaming on full load or my previous GTX275, even when I overclocked the CPU and had 4/5 hard drives in there. The PSU upgrade (XFX Pro 850W) is on its way, but it is still around a week or more until it arrives.
Here is the current bios:

I would like to try flashing the newest bios to see if it helps.
Thanks in advance.

Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update

Hi.
Yesterday I did a BIOS update on my Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E-03Z00QGR with the appropriate flash:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=153&selProduct=624&langua ge=17&selOS=10&selType=all&yearupload=&monthupload =&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=userMachines&search =&action=search&macId=&country=all&selectedLanguag e=17&type=all&page=1&ID=58477&OSID=-1&driverLanguage=42
bios-20070709111839.zip
After the flashing procedure the machine rebooted automatically, but unfortunately it now keeps hanging at the Thoshiba welcome screen. Also pressing F2 or F12 won't change anything. It seems like the BIOS is corrupt.
I saw, that in the BIOS package are delivered two flash files (s10gm590.rom and s10pm590.rom). But just executing the SanAntonion10 BIOS590MP.exe a .vbs script is started that decides automatically chooses and loads a flash file. Maybe it chose the wrong one?
What shall I do now? Is there a way to restore the BIOS, or do I have to send my notebook in?
Thanks in advance
MAT

> Satellite A100-590 PSAA9E freezes on Toshiba welcome screen after BIOS update
What to say Marc. It looks like you have used a wrong BIOS version or you have updated the BIOS in wrong way.
You could try to access the BIOS and try to set the settings to default.
Dont forget to save the settings if you will exit the BIOS.
But if this procedure does not help, you will have to contact the ASP in your country.
Possibly the guys will try to flash the BIOS again with other special version.
Good luck

MSI Radeon R9 270X Hawk - Screen corruption

Hello,
I dearly ask for your help, I have an issue with my MSI HAWK Radeon R9 270X, after using my computer for a while the screen on the primary/secondary monitor will become unreadable(see the first link), If I switch the monitor off via Catalyst Control Center the screen corruption will appear onto the other monitor. Maybe the newer BIOS would help, I have the same issue with another MSI HAWK R9 270X. I didn't have any problems with my former video cards (Geforce GTS 250, GTS450, Radeon 6850 and Radeon 7850).
I tried both 13.12 drivers as well as the newest betas 14.1 ,the only difference was the first target affected, on 13.12 the corruption would appear on primary monitor whereas on 14.1 it would affect the secondary one.
Also occasionally I experience the screen flicker issue as well, maybe newer BIOS could solve both of them.
My system specs:
Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 with 2104 Bios version
4x Corsair XMS 2000MHz 4GB
Thermaltake Evo Blue 2.0 750W Power Supply
MSI Radeon R9 270X HAWK - Serial Number: 602-V303-02SB1310007935
Monitor#1 - IIyama ProLite X2377HDS
Monitor#2 BenQ FP73E S
Both of them connected via DVI
Here is a screenshot of the problem:

MSI p55-gd65 1.8 bios update issue

Here we go:
So I prompted myself to update my p55-gd65 bios from...either 1.6 or 1.7? to 1.8 I used the LiveUpdate Online feature on MSI's website. Seemed to be fine after until my computer sometimes froze while watching streaming flash videos.
I thought it was caused by an outdate video driver so I updated it, either before or after the video update (can't remember) I shut down and reset the CMOS settings (took out the battery for +30sec), still froze.
Decided to Update the Intel 3/4/5 Chipset v9.1.1 provided by MSI, completely wiped the video driver, reinstalled it, still froze. Wiped adobe flash player and cache from firefox, reinstalled flash...still froze.
I noticed too late that the LiveUpdate requires 32bit Win7. and that the manual DL for the bios update I tried installing popped up with an OS incompatibility error. Does v1.8 not support 64bit? or would it have been better for me to flash the bios update?
Thanks for any help!

Can you post a screenshot of CPU-Z 'Memory' & 'SPD' tabs? I don't know on the P55 MB's but on both of mine that RAM runs perfect out of the box on Auto setting in BIOS at 1333, 9, 9, 9, 24, 1T @ 1.47V. Of course CPU-Z will show 1.5V for it.

Black screen after BIOS update on K9N Neo V2, help pls?

Hi guys!
I have K9N Neo V2 motherboard and Athlon X2 5400, I've decided to upgrade and bought Phenom x4 9750.
So I've updated the bios to 3.0O from https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=124305.0 using the instruction, it went fine, I've been using it for a week but found out some bugs (windows blue screen and applications and OS hangups), then I got to restore OS from acronis true image - failed. And then I decided to check if the new bios supports my old athlon or not, I've changed the CPU and started - failed, dark screen no bios, I plugged back Phenom and now it also is not working :((. Have no idea why and what to do now..
Would really appreciate any suggestions and help.
Thank you in advance

MSI H61M-P23 (B3) - Failed BIOS Update, PC Won't Boot

I attempted to update the BIOS on my MSI H61M-P23 motherboard and the update failed. Attempted to reboot the PC and no longer have access to the BIOS and the PC does not boot. Additionally, there are two short beeps in POST. Any suggestions on resolving this issue?

I don't recall what the old BIOS version was, but whatever the newest version that's available for download from MSI is what I attempted to flash. I ran the BIOS update in Windows and my PC froze for over an hour and wouldn't respond, so I powered it down and went to power it back up and now I get a blank screen and two beeps in POST.
which version exactly you tried to update?

[SOLVED] MSI Z97 Gaming 9 AC - Bios Update Fail

Hi,
today i decided to do a bios update of my board.
A friend of me told me NOT to use the Windows-Flash tool cause he killed two borads with it.
Ok so i used the flash utility from the bios/uefi menu with a usb-stick (M-Flash).
Everything looked ok - flash tool was running and told me success/complete and it will now reboot/reset.
At this time i wasn't able to boot anymore
It was like the board tried to read the flash but failed, reset, failed ...
Lucky for me there is this little switch for the bios chip.
Everything worked with the backup chip and i tried to reflash the broken master chip.
-> Using the MSI E-Setup with Mode "In DOS Mode. (USB)".
Booting up the usb stick and switched to master bios chip when i was seeing the "alert - only continue when you know what you are doing bla bla"-message.
Wasn't able to flash anything cause of error:
Quote
ROMID is not compatible with existing BIOS ROMID
Asking google i should use the /X option (/X - Don't Check ROM ID).
Now i got a new error
Quote
Rom image layout detected RomHole is redesigned
With this message i should use the /K option (/K - Program all non-critical blocks) i was told ... now a was able to flash the chip
And the result was: fail
I found the "HQ USB flashing tool" here and tried to flash the broken chip again (switching the bios switch from backup to master after booting), but also no luck for me ...
After a break i had an idea - at which time i can switch from the backup chip to the master chip?
The bootcode "A2" was the right for me
At the bios/uefi setup all my fans were running at full speed and i was sure this is because of the broken master chip.
So again i tried the M-Flash tool from the setup - f**k it will reset/reboot before the flash progress will start - but now i know the time to switch from backup to master chip
The tool started and i saw the same messages (everything ok, reset/reboot) as i tried it the first time.
Reboot - SUCCESS!
I wasted about three hours of my live to brick and unbrick the master chip, but i don't know why this happend
Maybe this post will help someone to fix a failed bios update.
YourName

Thanks for sharing
I used M-Flash a couple of times, just remember DON'T remove usb-stick until it reboot successfully to os....

PDA screen flicker when updating control properties

Hi all,
I'm developing a mobile application for Windows Mobile 5 using LabVIEW 2009 SP1 and the Mobile Module. After coming to terms with many of the limitations, I've got a simple menu driven interface working. The interface consists of a transparent 240x320 picture control to which I draw the menu item text using the Draw Text At Point VI, along with an icon representing the menu item. Behind this picture control is a second picture control which contains the selection graphic to show which menu item is highlighted.
The problem I'm now facing is an annoying screen flicker every time a control property for the selection graphic is set. Specifically when the user navigates the menu using the up/down arrows on the device, the menu selection on the screen is moved using the Position->Top property to move it to highlight the correct menu item. Whenever this property is set, the whole screen flashes white and redraws.
Presumably this is due to the top level picture control being redrawn when the underlying control is updated (which makes perfect sense), but I wish it wasn't so noticeable.
So a couple of questions:
1. Is there any way to enable double-buffering of the display from the Mobile Module or on the device itself?
2. Is my picture control behind picture control design flawed? I would use a system listbox for the menu but it's a bit ugly, and doesn't support icons/symbols under the Mobile Module. Other limitations of the Module Mobile (like string controls that can't have transparent backgrounds) led me to use picture controls as the best overall solution.
Cheers,
Michael

Thanks everyone for the feedback.
I just did a day's worth of testing using C# and .NET for Windows Mobile (in Visual Studio 2005) and was able to reproduce the same interface without any flickering issues. Not having to poll the device's hardware buttons is also a positive
The key is to override the main form's OnPaintBackground() method.
From "Crafting Smartphone User Interfaces Using .NET Compact Framework":
OnPaintBackground
This method needs to be over ridden to prevent the OS from repainting the background each time the user navigates the ListView, causing flicker. If you don't need a background then just override this method but provide no implementation.
So it looks like I'll be doing things in C# for this project. As the mobile device won't be used for data acquisition, the Mobile Module isn't a necessity. I just hope .NET's serial functionality is as good as LabVIEW's!

HP elitebook black screen after bios update

I recently bought a great condition HP elitebook 8440p. I installed a new hard drive 1TB hybrid hard drive ssd+HDD. I managed to get the computer working and everything was fine untill I decided to update bios. I searched up drivers and the first thing came up was bios update so I said to myself why not. After the program shut down my computer, I immediately noticed abnormal fan speed. There was no picture, and the panel lights were on and two lights (Cap lock and numlock) were blinking 3 times for 5 sets so (blink blink blink (Pause) blink blink blink (pause) blink blink blink (pause) blink blink blink (pause) blink blink blink. After that nothing else happenes. The other panel lights stay on and the fan continues to spin until i turn it off.
Things i have tried.
1. Installing update bios to 16gb flash drive, making it bootable and then sticking it into the USB port. Holding down Win+B. Also tried to hold down FN+insert , (Up+ down+ Left+ right), f10
2. Several hard resets (Holding down power button for 30 seconds, 1 min to 30 mins.
3. Reseating ram. Ram is 100% functional. Stuck it into an Asus G75VW and showed I had 10 GB rather than having 8 .
There are no instructions on how to fix this problem on the 8440p and I see people asking for answers. I am really fustrated and spend several hours trying to figure this problem out on Youtube, HP forums etc. Thanks

I have same issue with my HP EliteBook 8440p.
I updated my bios throuh HP SoftPaq Download Manager and aftrer the reset the computer won't boot, I get a black screen and it lights up and fan is working.
Since my warranty expired and this is official HP software I am wondering who will cover the costs of the repair?
The laptop is currently in offical HP service for two weeks now and they are waitnig for a reply from HP central for a possible solution for the issue.
From what I read on HP support forums there is no fix and HP isn't in a hurry to answer on anyones questions about that which is very sad for a company I thought was professional... also, the surprising thing is that this is not a cheap laptop for the masses but a laptop which is built to last for professional users
The question remains, is there a fix for this issue and if not who is going to cover the cost of repair/replacement of the components/laptop?
Best regards,
Cole

Line on screen since bios update

Hi, I recently purchased a Satellite C75D-B during a visit to the US after my Fujitsu was damaged at the airport. However, I ran the update utility yesterday which also included a bios update. All seemed to go okay however, after the reboot I found I had a white line down the left hand side of the screen as if the screen had been damaged. The laptop hasn't been dropped or hit in any way and was working fine before the update.
Now the problem I have is that although its a new laptop, Toshiba here in the UK will not touch it because I purchased it in the US and although Best Buy are happy to take it back, the cost of shipping makes it pointless. So does anybody know if it is possible to roll back the bios to a previous state or do something to fix this problem. Thanks

MSI GT70 2PC-1044US Dominator Bios Update

Hello,
Sorry if this post should be in a different thread. Currently I have the 2PC-1044 Dominator with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 installed (AHCI), and I would like to know if there is a Bios upgrade available. The support downloads section does not list the correct version for me to download (Win7 x64). Also, is it ok for me to install Firmware 1763EMS1.517 and vBIOS 80.04.F7.00.06 without damaging/formatting the OS?
Below are the current versions of my system
Bios: E1763IMS.50R
EC Firmware: 1763EMS1 Ver5.10
vBIOS (from Nvidia CP System Info): 80.04.EA.00.02
Thanks

Read below information first before doing update. On top of that, if you need BIOS update, flash to version 50V first.
