MSI B75A-G41 Bios update

hello, wanted to ask about bios should i update them or its not necessary when my PC works fine. Downloaded live update 5  and it says that current bios version is v17.1 in website saw that there is v17.8 . When scanned with live update it didn't found any MB updates. So any suggestions? 

Never use Live Update! It is known to try updating within Windows that often ends with a bricked board. If you have no issues there is no need to update.
If you want to update to the latest bios (which is 17.8):
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
     A.) Download the attached archive 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 and follow the directions. MEMTEST is included with the forum flash tool and it is recommended to run this prior to any flash.

  • Where is the BIOS chip located on MSI B75A-G41

    I need to replace the bios-chip on  MSI B75A-G41. Anyone know where the chip is located?

     I thought the BIOS would be the chip with the red dot on it like on other MSI MBs.

    Have a second MSI system Z77A- G41...For bios update use the forum flash tool or  m  flash?
    I looked at the forum flash tool and didn't see the board listed but thought I would ask first.
    Many thanks in advance

  • MSI GT70 2PC Bios update (Legacy mode)

    Hi!
    I've got a GT70 2PC notebook with Win7 64bits installed, and I want to update its BIOS.
    I've downloaded the last version (117 version, I think, because I haven't got RAID), but I couldn't update it, because its BIOS files are to UEFI Bios update, not the DOS version.... I haven't got the Flash.bat file to update it, only a file called "E1763IMS.117"...
    What should I do?
    Thanks a lot

    Greetings:   
    I need  help, i was updating the BIOS of my laptop msi gt70 2od-039us (dragon Editon2) WIN 8 then upgraded to 8.1  with this: E1763IMS.717.zip exactly as shown in pdf of site msi bios download.... I did step by Step, but in the step 12. BIOS info says: “System will power off and then power on automatically”…
    The laptop, goes off, then appears black screen, cooler spins but never enter in the flash screen.
    Please help me how i restart my laptop again, it’s possible or i need to buy a new motherboard?
    Thanks.
    PD: I unplugged the battery CMOS and turn it on but still is in black screen. PLEASE HELP!!!!

  • Msi 970a-g46 - BIOS update got interrupted, screen is now perma black

    So recently my computer has started having issues where it will just freeze out of nowhere leaving me only with sound, no mouse, no keyboard, i believe a still image on the screen (cant tell due to the mouse/keyboard).
    Either way, so i figured i would go about and update all of my drivers, while updating my BIOS drivers, my computer had one of these freezes and i was careless enough to hit the restart button...
    So now whenever i try and boot my computer, i am left with a pure black screen, and nothing else...
    Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Piers.

    Try a battery removed CMOS clear and reset. The freeze may have been RAM, PSU, VGA related. A BIOS update is firmware, etc., no drivers involved. A list of system components may be of help in the troubleshooting process;

    So after doing that, i plugged it back in, and got a long squealing beep tone so i immediately unplugged it... im also a huge retard, and powered it on while i had the jumpers on clear data... i feel retarded and i hope i didn't just break my motherboard even more... D':

    Pls note that bios v2 can be updated only if you using Windows 8. Otherway update will fail, and your mobo is "bricked"

    as for overclocking, i haven't done any of that

  • MSI GE70 2OC BIOS update questions

    Hi all, I have the GE70 2OC model with a Windows 7 installed on a HDD drive.
    I want to replace the HDD for SSD and install Windows 8.1.
    I thought that I might use this opportunity to update BIOS because that was recommended to me to fix throttling issues while gaming. But here is where I have a problem. On this site:
    http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GE70-2OC.html#down-bios
    there are different versions to choose and I don't know which one to choose. Right now I have the E1757IMS.509 version.
    There is a warning not to crossflash the bios, for example from Win 7 version to Win 8 version because it may result in bricking the system.
    1. But which one do I have now? Is it the Win7 or Win8 version? I only know the number that I wrote above... Could you tell me which one to choose?
    2. Should I update the BIOS before replacing the disk and installing system or after?
    3. Maybe I should firstly replace the disk, install Windows 8.1 and then update the BIOS version to the one dedicated for Win 8.1?
    4. Which tool should I use to flash the BIOS so that the ME and EC firmware is also updated? Or is it a separate thing to do? I've read the stickies in BIOS section of forum but I'm completely confused, in every post there is something else written or recommended.
    5. Does it even make sense to update the BIOS? I mean, will it actually help with the throttling or was I wrongly informed? (I was told to do that by the moderator of Polish MSI forum but it doesn't make much sense to me...).
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    .5xx is the right one for your NB, .51E is latest one:

    if you planing to install/reinstall OS,
    install new BIOS 1st before OS is better

    use flash instructions included in .txt file inside archive, etc:
    http://www.msi.com/files/pdf/Flash_BIOS_by_UEFI_BIOS_Setup_Utility_en.pdf
    about EC its separate update, but can't advice since i don't your current EC version

    but can help to fix some other issues

  • MSI sli plus bios update problems

    I have an x99 sli plus and was working perfectly untill latest I updated latest bios (1.5 I think). Updated ok restarted but wouldn't post so manual restart. Restarted fine into windows but cpu temp signal was reading way to low. Then I had checked OC setting and found everything was on base clock. Restarted into bios and loaded my saved 24/7 OC, restarted and nothing. Screen not even turning on. Fan is running on low but nothing no post etc. Tried switching to other bios with switch, same result. Heeelllp

    This sounds like the same problem as mine. I updated from 1.4 -> 1.5 and restored a profile and it refused to boot, no display, fans on.
    In my case, the CPU and one stick of RAM fried, I hope your situation ends without dead hardware. I would also like that if MSI takes a look at the profiles system and see if there is some bug with restoring settings across BIOS versions (in my case, profile was created on 1.4).
    Hope not  but I'm starting to think some hardware has been damaged.
    Quote from: Svet on 01-January-15, 22:39:19
    think profiles should be used only within the same BIOS version
    when you switch to new BIOS, you have to recreate the OC profile and to save it again
    remove power cord from the PSU 1st,
    then press power button several times, until all lights stop lightning.
    then do again >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    Did what you suggested no change.
    I get what you are saying about the oc profiles, but it was a very mild oc (4.5 at 1.24v and xmp enabled for the ram) and then just fan profiles. Seems insane that would (finger crossed it hasn't) destroy hardware straight away. And if its just that a profile saved in another version of the bios does hardware damage no matter what the settings seems even more crazy.
    Thanks for the posts/help guys

  • Msi 990fxa gd80 bios update or not ?

    Hi guuys, i finaly got the new mobo.
    the sn = 601-7640-080b1212032316 and it says ms 7640 v2.2
    do i need to upgrade the bios to support my fx8320 ?

    You are gonna want to replace that fan/heatsink.  It is fine for stock but it will run a bit high since the 8350 can pull some watts and create a bit of heat.  The stock heatsink fan can hit 6000 rpm and it is loud.  I never used it on my 8350 but did put it on a 965 BE and it was a bit loud with it.  Anyway replace it as soon as you can and you can get incredible results with this chip.

  • Cannot connect to USB3 on MSI B75A-G41

    Hi everyone.
    I built my first computer 2 weeks ago and was very proud when it kicked in om my first boot. Everything seemed to be working just fine, but then I found out that I have no connection on my USB3 ports.
    I have two on the chassi and, obviously, two moore at the back of the chassi (on my motherboard).
    None of the ports are working, and they dont have any voltage either (the controle lamp on my card reader doesn't light up like it does if I plug into USB2, since all USB2 ports are working).
    I have tried to reinstall my drivers, both from the cd and from downloads at the Internet but nothing changes.
    No indication in the device manager that there are any problems.
    As far as I can see the USB is enabled in BIOS.
    Do you have any suggestions on what else to do or have you heared of the problem elsewhere?

  • How far do the MSI z87-G41's OC capabilities extend?

    First off; hi! I'm new here, but not to forums or PC hardware. I'm active over at anandtech and THG, and some gaming forums.
    My question relates to my brand new MSI z87-G41 PC Mate. I'm a bit new to overclocking but not without a clue, however I just can not get the motherboard to let me change any voltage or multiplier settings.
    Main Board: MSI z87-G41
    Bios Version: Don't know. One that came in the box.
    Video Card: PNY GTX 770@1332Mhz
    PSU:   Rosewill HIVE 550w. (38A, 456w)
    CPU: i5 4670k
    Memory: OEM 8GB (4x2GB) 1333Mhz 9CAS
    SSD/ HDD: OEM Seagate 1.5TB 7200rpm. 4 years old
    CPU COOLER: NZXT respire T40
    Any Additional hardware plugged into your system: NAXT sentry 2 fan controller, OEM DVD burner, netgear w900 USB wi-fi stick
    OC: Attempting
    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    I am trying to increase the voltage just a tad as I am game stable at 4.2Ghz but not p95 or F@H stable. (stock 1.12v) I have a good cooler and voltage is low so I am looking to push to ~4.4-4.6Ghz. I'd been adjusting with the Intel Tuning Utility to get it to 4.2, but it doesn't change voltage.
    TIA
    EDIT: Oh. Looks like this belongs in overclocking. :|
    EDIT2: Well don't I look stupid. I needed to use numpad +/- and not the ones near the 0 and backspace.  Nevermind then!

    I tried multiple version of CCC, including old one and the new beta one, not one of them is working.
    The card does show in the device manager but in a strange way : it is called in safe mod "Standard VGA" but if you follow those instructions :

    Hello Mr. Sil3nt,
    Thank you for your post. It is best to get your drivers from the hardware manufacturer, have you tried going to www.... ? You will need to know the make/model of your card in order to get the appropriate driver for your device. To do this, try the following:
    Click 'Start' > Right-click 'Computer' > Select 'Manage'
    Click 'Device Manager'
    In the right pane, expand 'Display Adapters'
    Below, you should see your video card, it may say 'Standard VGA'
    Right-click this device and select 'Properties'
    Select the 'Details' tab and scroll the bar to 'Hardware ID's'
    You can then copy this info and put it into a web search that should yield results for your video card type.
    From there, you can go to nvidia's website and download/install the latest driver for your card and operating system. Please let us know if this did or didn't help to resolve your problem.
    Cheers
    You find :

  • Msi z97 gaming 5 bios update help

    Hello I recently purchased the msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard. It was working fine it came with bios version 1.0 and I wanted to update it. I downloaded the latest 1.5 bios from msi website copied to usb flash drive and flashed it using mflash. Computer powers on but black screen wont do nothing. I cleared cmos and battery and still nothing so I am pretty sure its bricked. I am going to store to exchange it for another one but I want to be able to safely update the bios without bricking again. I usually dont update bios unless needed but i need at least 1.2 bios to fully support the devils canyon cpu. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I read about the usb flashing tool in forum but also read that bios+me need to be flashed and I don't know if that program is up to date and will flash both files? I really appreciate it if someone helped thanks in advance.

    Also does anyone know if it is dangerous to update the bios with a 4690k devils canyon cpu since it is not officially supported until 1.2? Is that why my first bios flash was bricked? I would hate to go and borrow another cpu just to update the bios but if I have to I will. Sorry for all the questions but I need to get my bios updated and I will not update it until I am sure of all these things. Thanks to anyone who answers these questions.
