MSI 760GM-P23 (fx) bios upgrade issue

Hello every body
I just bought a gamer PC from an computer supplier.
Is has the following spec.
AMD FX 4170 / 4.2 GHz Processor - AM3+
MSI 760GM-P23 (FX) - Micro-ATX 3000 AM3+
8GB DDR3 1600MHz Kingston HyperX (1X8GB)
Nvidia GTX650 (2GB)
Kingston SSDNow - 2.5″ SATA-600 120GB
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 - 3.5″ SATA-600 1TB
Cooler Master Elite 430 - ATX Sort
Cooler Master GX Lite 600W - 120 mm
22x DVD/RW DL Sort SATA
I had Windows 7 and all drivers installed and unit was working fine. I then decided to use the MSI Live Updater to update all drivers etc.
In this process the bios was updated to v.17.13 and before the update the unit was running v.H.A
After bios update had finished updating in Windows, i rebooted the system and then i have not been able to boot to Windows or Windows install 7 since.
I have uploaded 2 videos to youtube so that you all can see what the issue is
Search youtube for these two videos.

I have tried to downgrade the bios, and i dont get any error when trying to do so, but after rebooting the system again, i see that the bios has NOT been downgraded.
Can somebody tell me what might be the issue?
I personally think it is the BIOS chip it self, that was up by the update and now is somehow looked and faulty.
HELP!!

Sounds like Live Update just claimed another casualty. Unless another forum user can come up with some more suggestions, it is most likely RMA time or a pc shop in your area that has an SPI flash programming device should be able to restore the BIOS chip for you.
Next time, for BIOS updates, please use the fourm's USB flash method.

  • Unexpected reboots - MSI 760GM-P23

    Hi,
    I've just purchased a brand new gaming PC with the following specs:
    - Amd Athlon X3 450 3.20 Ghz
    - MB MSI 760GM-P23
    - Club3d Radeon HD 7770
    - Onboard - 5.1 HD surround
    - 8GB Intern memory 1333Mhz
    - 500GB HDD
    - Onboard power supply Corsair CX 430M
    OS: Win 7 professional 64 bit
    Issue: When I'm playing a game (Assassin's Creed 2,3, Battflefield 3, etc) - all games which should run smoothly on this box -
    after 3-4 hours I get an unexpected reboot. Have updated all graphics drivers and BIOS but still the problem persists.
    There's no problem with power issue, have tried it on another electricity group which didn't solve the problem.
    At the moment I'm thinking that the temperature might be the culprit. Have left the box open yesterday and placed a
    ventilator next to it and I could play all day without a reboot.
    CPU ventilator is working normally. Ventilator on the Graphics card is running on 20%, will try to increase that percentage
    to see if it brings anything.
    Does anyone has seen this issue before or can anyone give me some tips what might be the issue here ? Once: again: this is a brand
    new Gaming-PC !
    Thanks for any help, information to track down this annoying problem

    The issue can have different sources like:
    Overheating
    PSU problem
    Memory issues [typically BSOD or lockup, but sometimes can cause unexpected reboots too]

  • BsoD on MSI 760Gm P23 Fx(clock interrupt was not received on a secondary proces)

    If i try to run some higher end games like battlefield 2 i'll just get this BsoD saying:
    "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval"
    Here's my system:
    MSI 760GM P23 FX
    Amd FX 6100 6 core processor 3.3
    16 gigs of ram
    Radeon HD 7750
    BIOS: 7641vH2
    I've elsewhere of other systems with this problem fixing it with a bios update, but as far as i'm aware i have the current recommended bios for my MB/CPU combo. also my bios should be  at their default settings since they were installed. i don't recall tweaking them at all

    that interrupt is a CPU clock instability I'm guessing that your CPU is auto boosting its clocks! you will need to access BIOS and turn off the Turbo Boost!
    then give it a retest and see if it keeps doing the A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval thing as your board has a max TDP of 95W and under basic frequancy its right at that level and the turbo may be over stressing the power delivery (under turbo that CPU will pull over 100W or more)!

  • [MSI 760GM-P23 (FX)]High Pitched Noise near the CPU or from the CPU itself?

    I just built this rig 3 weeks ago and I decided to update my BIOS because it's not compatible with Spec Ops: The Line, the game worked but the mobo/cpu started making these high pitched noise. I'm pretty sure it's not coming from the PSU because it at the bottom. The sound is not consistent
    but it's really annoying when I hear it, do I need replace it or is there a way to get rid of it?
    Specs:
    AMD FX-6 6100 Black Edition 6 Core 3.3Ghz
    MSI 760GM-P23 (FX)
    Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2

    PowerColor HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB GDDR
    Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII
    CIT 500w Power supply

    In most cases such noises are the effect of resonance caused by a PSU that does not provide clean power (not able to properly filter the noise in the signals, especially under rapidly changing power demand conditions).

  • MSI 760GM-P23 doesn't boot

    Like the title says. I go almost directly to the boot menu. There I can only choose the optical drive with the windows 7 disk in it. But when I press enter it says: no bootable device, Press any key to go back. Really hope you can help me
    also have a youtube video so you can see the problem. But I am not allowed to post external links. So you can go to youtube channel:

    then click on video and I think its the first video you see, you will recognize the video title also: MSI motherboard doesn't boot

    Built my rig today and I'm having the same problem. The hard drive and BDR player show up in the Bios. When I boot the system it says "please select the boot device." The only option is CD/DVD, which has the windows 7 disc inside. When I press enter it says "No bootable device, press any key to go back"  I can't get any further than that.
    I tried a number of HDD's and DVD Drives, with the same unsuccessful results. I could use some assistance if anyone's nailed the source of this problem.

  • No Audio on MSI 760GM-P23 (FX)

    I just recently build a new computer using MSI 760GM-P23 (FX) running on Windows 7 Home Premium. I was able to get everything to work except for the on-board audio. The Realtek High Definition Audio always has "Not plugged in" status even if its rear audio jack is connected. I would like to know what is wrong with the on-board audio. Is there a disable setting somewhere for the on-board audio, because I can't get it to work even after downloading and installing the latest audio driver from MSI website.
    Also, I can't test the front audio jacks, because I used my old mid-tower case, which its audio connector seems to be incompatible with the pins of JAUD1, but I doubt not connecting JAUD1 won't cause the rear audio jack not to work.

    Oh, sorry, XFM. I completely missed your reply. Too much things are going on. It seems that I was having problem focusing.
    Quote from: XFM on 23-February-13, 13:54:31
    In your audio control panel, is it set for digital or analog out? ...
    I think when you say "audio control panel", you are referring to "Realtek HD Audio Manager", correct? Since I wasn't able to get a single sound to work before, I don't have any idea how to use that audio manager. But after playing around with it, it seems that the sound card is set to Digital since the only visual jack ports on the right side that aren't grayed out is Digital. The analog jack ports are completely grayed out.
    Quote from: XFM on 23-February-13, 13:54:31
    ...If I'm not mistaken those jumpers are only needed on the older AL'97 audio when not using front panel jacks, not the newer HD audio.
    Are you talking about the pin layout of JAUD1? I am not very familiar with audio much, so I don't understand what you are saying. Nonetheless, I tried putting in jumpers and removing them. Both doesn't seem to make a difference except noticing an input jack detection to be plugged in and plugged out the next. For what port, I have no idea, so I removed the jumper now.
    If it helps, I can plug in the front audio input panel if I know which connector goes in which pin. The connector MIC IN and MIC BIAS are the one that throws me off, which is why I ended up not connecting any. Here are all the pins I have on my old tower case:
    - L OUT
    - L IN
    - R OUT
    - R IN
    - MIC IN
    - MIC BIAS
    - GND

  • MSI 760GM-P23 - No video signal

    Hey, I moved my gaming setup from my old Corona case to my new Cooler Master HAF 912 PLUS case, and connected everything like it was before, but now i can't get any video signal.
    My Gaming setup is:
    Motherboard: MSI 760GM-P23
    CPU: AMD FX-4100 3.6 Ghz
    RAM: 2x2GB Kingston 1333 MHz Dual Channel
    PSU: Cooler Master GX550
    Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 550 TI

    Remove the board from the case again and test it outside the case on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration.  If it works again, then you know that you must have created some sort of short-circuit problem while installing everything in the new case.
    Such things happen a lot.

  • MSI G41M-P23 FSB/core clock issue (HELP!)

    Alright, so a few days ago I bought an MSI G41M-P23 with 8 gb of DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) RAM (the standard for this board). My CPU is an E8400 (3.0 ghz). At first I wanted to maybe fiddle with some overclocking, which is where I realized that this mobo fails at. Not a big deal...but every time I attempted to up the FSB above 336 or so (this CPU's default is 333... x 9 = 3000 mhz), the system would not POST, instead it simply would loop on/off until eventually going back to defaults.
    That was fine with me -- I don't need to overclock, really. However, I noticed something odd in the BIOS. The CPU speed, which according to the fsb multiplier was the correct speed (2997 mhz), was very not correct in the CPU info section of the BIOS. There, it listed the speed at 1.8 ghz. Thus I decided, for the heck of it, to take at look at CPU-Z at this time.
    This is what CPU-Z is currently telling me (I have a screenshot, but I can't seem to post it here):
    In the "Clocks" section (bottom left of the main tab in CPU-Z)
    Core speed: ~1894 mhz
    Multiplier: x 9.0
    Bus Speed: ~210 mhz
    Rated FSB: ~842 mhz
    The RAM speeds and ratios are correct, though, given the FSB:RAM ratio (it would seem). Ram clocks in at ~333 mhz, which with a 5:8 ratio should put it at 1066...I think.
    So now CPU-Z and part(?) of the BIOS is showing me the wrong CPU speed (1800 mhz). It's also listing my FSB at 200 mhz despite the fact that my I set it in my BIOS at 333 mhz. The 200 Mhz adds up with the incorrect core speed, as 200 X 9 = 1800. If I go back to the BIOS, it lists the FSB correctly, and the POST screen displays the correct FSB and multiplier, but again, the CPU info screen of the bios is reading 1800 mhz, while listing the FSB as 333. I don't have any speedstep/CE1/other modifiers turned on, and this reading is currently under normal load (read: not idle). I'm at my wit's end here.
    Is this board not saving my FSB speeds in the BIOS? Is there any way to fix this issue? I apparently have the most up-to-date BIOS according to CPU-Z and MSI's support website. I have not tried every setting of the OC switch yet, though I have tried a few (200 -> 333, for example) and all have resulted in a system that will not POST, and leaves me having to reset the CMOS jumper in order to get it to boot again (as opposed to the looping/defaulting cycle mentioned earlier).
    Can someone PLEASE help me? I just reinstalled Windows 7 x64/all my programs because of this new board...and I really, really don't want to do that all again.

    Well, I heard back from MSI. They are just as confused over the BIOS version as I am, apparently.  V30.8 is not what is supposed to be on the board. So, rather than flash it and hope that it works, etc., I decided to simply return the board, as I've only had it for a few days, and bared used it. Something is clearly wrong with it to have an "unknown" BIOS installed.
    I went ahead and ordered a new CPU and mobo entirely...Core i5, too. No MSI board this time...only because they didn't have a board in my price range. I wanted this upgrade to be something easy and simple so I wouldn't have to do that.. oh well.
    I do find it very strange what's happened with this board, though....I've never before heard of ordering and receiving a board with an unknown BIOS on it...even according to the manufacturer. Maybe an out-of-date BIOS, but not something completely off the radar. Still, thank you again for your help.

  • BIOS upgrade issue on my E50 with Linux

    I see that there is a new version of BIOS/firmware for my E51 and I wanted to upgrade/flash it, but:
    1. I don't have floppies (nor are they available in my neighbourhood)
    2. The CD drive I got with my system stopped functioning right after a fortnight after my warranty expired and I did not bother to replace it since I use USB drives for flexible storage.
    3. I am using Ubuntu and don't have a Windows license.
    Now, how do I upgrade the firmware?
    I can't burn it on a floppy (1. because there are not new floppys available and 2. even if I manage to get one old one, how do I transfer the f/w image onto it in Linux since only a .exe is given)
    I can't burn it on a CD drive (cos' I don't have a CD drive at all)
    What I could do?
    If possible (and supported), I want to burn/install the ISO (provided by Lenovo) to my USB drive and boot the system using the USB drive and run the upgrade. But, there doesnt seem to be any way to do this. Lenovo neither  mention anything nor gives a USB-install software.
    What I tried:
    I tried the usual software that install an ISO image to a USB drive, but that did not help. I never got to any screen that asks me if I want to upgrade.
    Anyone knows any way out?
    This is my last hope before I decide its enough and sit to write my own software.  (:-))

    Wow. Two days and not a single person knows what to do. Now, I know which brand of PC I should not buy. HP is way better, atleast they have a bios flash utility that can configure the bios upgrade to run off a pen drive. 
    Let me find my way out. Good day.

    Hola, (Hi)
    la semana pasada tuve el mismo problema con una board similar. Intenté con varias marcas genéricas de memoria y no activaba el dual channel. Actualicé la bios a la versión 9.2 de acuerdo con una recomendación que encontré en este foro: 1º. Coloca una sola memoria en el slot1 y actualiza la Bios a la v. 9.2. Una vez se actualice la Bios apaga el PC y... 2º coloca los dos módulos de memoria, el primero en el slot 2 y el otro en el slot 4 y ya verás que funciona. (Last week i've had same issue with that board. Update the Bios to 9.2 version according to this forum: 1st. populate first slot with one memory stick and run the Bios update. Tunr off your PC and... 2nd populate slot 2 and 4 and you are ready.)
    El único problema que he encontrado con esta BIOS es que la tarjeta de video Gcube 9600XT presenta algunos saltos en los juegos. (The only issue about that bios version it's the GeCube Radeon 9600XT that  JUMPING in all games.)
    BYE!

  • MSI gx 640 - pondering bios upgrade for XEN

    Aloha All,
    So I have been trying to get XEN running on my gx 640.  The issue seems to be the network adapter.  It almost works.  So I was wondering if I should update the bios.  Is that just foolish?  It seems the latest version is 1656 10e and I am running 10c.  Is there any info about what is updated/fixed in each version of the bios? 
    Once you download the files can you run the update from inside windows?  What happens if you try and run flash.bat? Or do you HAVE to run it from a flash drive in DOS?
    Mahalo.

    It says on the MSI website what the update fixes:
    "Disable UEFI boot for system hangs up if boot from CD/DVD with UEFI method."
    http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1998
    Can't say it would solve your issue so no point updating. By the way, if flashing the BIOS you must always >>use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<. Flashing through Windows is a very bad idea.

  • HELP: MSI 760GM P23

    Just finished a build for my sister....but im having a problem. Once it get's past the MSI screen it ask's me which bootable device I want to choose, the only one being the dvd rom. Though once I choose it....it says no bootable device found press any key to continue. ANY IDEA's?

    >>Posting Guide<<
    give us what parts you used in your biuld in a list please! see my signature bellow we need to know the parts used to work out what the problem could be.
    check the connection to the HDD that it is correctly connected! also is the drive a SATA2 or SATA3 HDD? could you tell us its make and model?
    as the machine starts enter BIOS by pressing DELETE and set up the boot order there!
    once the boot order is set you need to install an OS onto the drive so place a disk for your chosen Operating System into the DVD drive and start to install it.

  • GE70 2PE Bios upgrade issue

    I am trying to upgrade my bios to the newest one that is on the website but I get the "efi security violation" msg every time! is there a solution to this?
    I am also looking into a unlocked bios (donation is no biggy) but I still need to figure this out first before I get a unlocked bios so please help me.
    edit: I have switch between windows 7 64bit to win8 to win8.1 as I have 3 different hard drives. but the main OS im using is the win7 64bit and is loaded into the system (running on samsung ssd)

    appears to be correct
    not sure why you have this error
    you can flashing with alternatives by using attached file
    and depend of OS from where you want to flash to execute:
    FLASH.bat = dos
    FLASH.nsh = uefi shell
    FLASHWIN64.BAT = Win 64 bit

  • MSI 760GM-P23, how do you choose an automatic boot device

    This is driving me nuts:
    -Bios 17.9
    -16GB of ram
    -AMD athalon xII 250
    -3 sata drives (same results with no sata and only booting off usb, or if i set the sata controller to raid or ahci)
    -Logitech Wiress keyboard/mouse with a usb dongle
    Most bios's let you set a boot order in the bios, but i dont see any option for this.  Everytime I boot if i press nothing it goes to the Terabyte TB boot menu that says press any key to enter.. I press any key and nothing ever happens.  I eventually get the no bootable device available and have to reset.(even if i have a bootable usb drive/hard drive connected)
    Everytime I boot I have to press F11, and select my boot device.. how do I set a permanent order for this?
