MSI Big Bang. MSI LiveUpdate failed.

I'm doing a review for one of the hardwares by MSI. And while I was doing it halfway, the card keep crashing which I believe is driver issues. But even after updating to the latest driver, 10.12a hotfix, the problem still persist. So I asked around what should I do and most of the answers I received is "update your BIOS".
Okay, so I take heed of their advice and updated my BIOS to 1.4 using MSI Live Update 4. stupid me! And after using that tool to update it, my computer is stuck at the Windows "Welcome" screen, and the whole screen turn blue after that. So I tried to flash the old BIOS @ M-Flash, I selected "BIOS Update" and then I continued to "Save and Exit". And it restarts again and I hit "DEL" to go back to the BIOS. Guess what? the instead of "BIOS Update", it's "Disabled". I tried clearing CMOS and everything, but it still fails. Now I can't even flash the old BIOS.
it's a hassle to RMA stuff, I'm sure you guys understand right? :-X
here is my specs.
i7-870
MSI Big Bang Fuzion
Kingston Value RAM 2X2GB
MSI HD6870
MSI HD6850 Cyclone Power Edition
Samsung SpinPoint F3
Seasonic X-750W

I am not talking about M-Flash.
Please do this:
1. Prepare USB Flash Drive for booting DOS (do that on a second computer that has Windows on it):
- Dowload the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and the DOS-Files.rar archive which I am attaching to this reply
- Install the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool and extract the DOS-Files from the DOS-Files.rar archive to a folder of your choice
- Start the HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool , select your USB Flash Drive, set the File System to FAT32, mark the Create a DOS startup disk option and then point the tool to the folder which contains the DOS Files you extracted.
- Click "Start" and let the tool prepare your USB Flash Drive
- your USB Flash Drive is now bootable
2. Copy BIOS File and Flasher to the prepared Flash Drive:
- Download the v1.4 BIG Bang Fuzion BIOS Archive via this link: http://download1.msi.com/files/downloads/bos_exe/7582v14.zip
- Extract the BIOS File (A7582IMS.140) and the Flasher (AFUD4310.EXE) from the downloaded archive and copy both files to the prepared USB Flash Drive
3. Boot from the prepared USB Flash Drive:
- unplug ALL(!) hard drives, optical drives, floppy drives, card readers etc. from your system (so that the prepared USB Flash Drive will be the ONLY(!) drive attached to it
- when you start the system it has no other choice than to boot from the USB Flash Drive after you press F2 when you get the CMOS Checksum error
- you should then reach the DOS Command Prompt
4. Flashing the BIOS from the DOS Command Prompt:
- simply enter AFUD4310 A7582IMS.140 /P /B /N /C
- ... and wait until the flash procedure finishes
- once the flash procedure is done, turn off your system, unplug your PSU from A/C power and >>Clear CMOS<< again
- press F1 to enter BIOS Setup and load "Optimized Defaults" --> then Save & Exit and see if the problem is gone or not
Please only use one(!) memory module in the first black slot when you do this procedure!

MSI Big Bang Trinergy Pre-Order questions?

On this page it says
http://event.msi.com/mb/bigbang/preorder/
"All those who pre-order the MSI Big Bang-Trinergy motherboard between Nov 30 and Dec 15 are qualified to receive exclusive gaming bundle. Besides, MSI will protect your new purchase with 8-year Exclusive Warranty! "
Then when I go here
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Special/MSI_BigBangTrinergy_120709.jsp?intpromo=MSI_BigBangTrinergy_120709_HPG
Which is the USA pre order place it says
Dec 7 and Dec 21st
So which is it?
Also when it says Register for 8 year warranty it says serial number. How do I know my serial number if I have not received the product yet? Also when is this thing being released? I just want to make sure if I pre order I get the 8 year warranty. I already have the gd80 but I really want this board for the warranty and the extra features. Thanks guys.

It seems to me you pre order and then you register it with the serial number after you receive the product to get the 8 year warranty.
Products have to be registered within 30 days from original date of pre-order purchase to receive our limited 8 years warranty. (Products failed to register within 30 days will still receive standard 3 years warranty).
A little extra research by you would have come up with this same little tidbit of information.

MSI BIG BANG Xpower II boot issue - LED code 9A

Hello all,
I am facing to issue after BIOS update from 2.6 to 2.7. After update was machine working properly. But after one crash of OS cant boot at all. Crash was probably caused by overloading GPUs but there were no issue with cards and this board during 3 weeks of 100% GPU and CPU load. No video (connected only one GPU card), no Numlock key/led is working (this is good test if PC is reacting even no picture).
Board: MSI BIG BANG XPOWER II
Bios: Version 2.7
VGA: 4x AMD SAPPHIRE Radeon R9 290x
PSU: Silverstone 1500W (gold)
CPU: Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz (3.9GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 2011
MEM: 1x Kingston 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL10 HyperX blu Edition
HDD: WD Blue 256gb 5400
COOLER: NOCTUA NH-D14
OC: 3.9GHz
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit Professional
Tried
- switch BIOS from A to B also C (with small switch).
- cleared Cmos with onboard button.
- removed Battery for a while
System start booting and stuck always on 9a LED code.
From manual it looks like it is USB, SATA initialisation phase.
I think CPU or Mem should be fine.
Anyone who met this issue or any sollution?
I am thinking to replace this board under warranty.
Thanks for any info..

Hi Froggy,
Thanks for reply.
But I have tried disconnected all USB devices and got same LED code. If this happend because of some USB configuration in BIOS why reset of CMOS did not help?
It very well could be setting(s) in the BIOS, but I am not qualified to be of much assistance when Win 8/8.1 is involved.

MSI Big Bang Marshal - Questions

Hello all
I am new here and I have been doing research on components for a new computer I am making a shopping list for. I have a few questions I have not been able to find any information online. Here goes
1. Anything specific I should know about the motherboard other then whats in the specs? Problems, quirks, etc?
2. Does the motherboard only support 2x Dual Video cards like 2x Nvidia GTX 590 or can I use 4x Nvidia GTX 480s?
3. P67 motherboards with the nf200 on them support 24 pci-e lanes. if I use:
PCI_E1 - 8x
PCI_E3 - 8x
PCI_E5 - 8x
PCI_E7 - 8x
Makes up 24
But there are still:
PCI_E2 - 1x
PCI_E4 - 1x
PCI_E6 - 1x
PCI_E8 - 1x
Left. Does that mean there are no lanes left and I coudnt even fill anything in the other 4 slots like PCI-E Sound, etc?
4. If you do Dual, Tri, Quad-SLI and have a PhysX card, how many PCI-E lanes will your PhysX card consume? Is it set by the NVIDIA control panel, the number of lanes of the chipset divided by the mount of video cards or by the card itself?
5. When people say Dual, Tri, Quad-SLI +PhysX, does it mean (Dual -1(PhysX), Tri -1(PhysX), Quad -1(PhysX) or does it mean (Dual +1, Tri +1, Quad +1)?
6. I know Scalability of increasing arrays of video cards is pretty poor, but could I do Quad SLI +PhysX using the MSI Big Bang Marshal?
7. Which is most advantageous, Tri SLI +PhysX, Quad SLI, Quad SLI +PhysX?
8. Sorry, probably not related, but I wanted to do Raid with SSD's for very fast reads and writes yet have redundancy. I wanted to get some OCZ Vertex 3s and I was reading about how Raid 5 was interesting but apparently Raid 5 increases the degredation of SSD? Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions on best raid configurations?
Thank you for all of your help

By my count, that makes 32 lanes. If not done so, a lot of pre preparation information can be gathered at the MSI Global Website. All the basic & more detailed information can be found there. The downloadable pdf manual is usually much more comprehensive than the manual that comes with the board as well, & can probably answer a lot of your questions. I don't believe the board can do Quad GTX 480 SLI.

MSI Big Bang xPower II PCI-e 3.0 Problem

Hey Guys
I´ve got a big problem with my Big Bang Xpower II Mainboard. Although i´ve got at PCI-e compatible (Gigabybte GTX760 OC) which is placed in PCI-e Slot 1 and PCI-e Gen 3 activated my Board doesn´t activate PCI-e 3. I´ve already tried to install the UEFI on several ways but nothing helped.
My specs:
Mainboard: MSI Big Bang xPower II
CPU: Intel I7 4820k
VGA: Gigabyte GTX760 OC
Soundcard: Creative Soundblaster Z
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Tactical 16GB 1866MHz
sry if there are Mistakes my english is not so good because im from Germany and and im still a student
thanks for your help

Aha, but how windows changes will affect BIOS PCI-e version reading?
etc: this one which you said:

You can see the PCI-e Version activated before the Xpower BIOS Screen shows off (the where it show all data about the ASMedai chip ...
or this still shows 2.0 during bios post screen?

MSI Big Bang-XPower, Corsair AX1200W and 6-pin motherboard connector

Hello, I apologize if this has been answered but I didn't seem to find it on the forums. I have the Corsair AX1200 power supply and the MSI Big Bang-XPower motherboard. The board has two ATX 8-pin connectors. I know that the second one is only needed if you are doing serious overcloking. But I assume it's ok to plug both in whether or not I'm overclocking?? I see the AX1200 has two EPS/ATX 8-4 pin connectors so I am fine there.
My real question is that the mother board also has an ATX 6-pin connector for the graphics card. Firstly, is this needed since the graphics card has it's own power connector (I have the EVGA SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580). The card needs a PCI-E 6 pin and an 8 pin connector. I see the AX1200 has six 6+2 pin connectors so I believe I'm fine there.
But for the motherboard connector, can i use one of the PCE-E 6+2 pin connectors (just 6 pins obviously), or is this not good sine the connector is not labeled as an ATX connector?
Thank you.

Hi,
Bumping this as it is the question I have. How does the motherboard access this power from the EPS? It is constantly available to the cpu? Would it not be better to plug in the 2x8 pin EPS anyway as it gives a greater redundancy?
I am sorry if this is a stupid question but I recently got flamed on a forum for carrying on about connecting the EPS cables up to my Corsair Ax850. The flamers carried on and on about how I would never need to use the EPS unless it was LN2 cooling.
I cannot see the harm in it but I would like to understand computer power supplies a bit more and how exactly they work. For example why do some vid cards have 6 pin and other 8 pin when it looks as if both plugs just have a 12 volt lead on one row and the other row a ground lead?
Anyhoo.
Happy first post to me.

MSI Big Bang XPower II - Corsair H60 Water cooling issue

So I am using a Corsair H60 water cooling on my MSI Big Bang XPower II mainboard. I have followed the correct instructions on installation but every time I turn the computer on once it its 31 it shuts down. Everything seems to be working correctly except the cooling. There are no instructions that really relate well to installation for this water cooling to this mother board so I have tried placing the pump power and the fan power on various different inputs. I have the pump just on a sys power fan and the 120mm fan blowing through the coils on the back of the machine connected to the CPU 1 head fan (as instructed in their videos). I am not 100% sure the pump is working but I know that the fan is working and the hardware overview shows it recognizes the fan.
anyone have some ideas to try to see if I can get this to work? I am also wondering if it is a faulty pump or something but it seems to be working.

I have the pump just on a sys power fan
The pump is not working. The 3-pin connector for a fan header is just for reading out pump speed. You need to power it with the molex connector.

MSI Big Bang XPower II - Firewire and PCI issues

Hi all,
yesterday i recieved my new MSI Big Bang XPower II and got some really strange issues:
First of all ill let you know my hardware:
MSI Big Bang XPower II (BIOS v1.4) new
Intel I7 Extreme 3960X new
G.SKILL 64GB RAM Kit 1600 new
Palit NVIDIA GTX 680 - 4096 near new
3 x RME Soundcards used but okay
7 x WD 2TB SATA where 3 are OS Systems and 4 are Storage used but okay
Be Quiet Dark Power 1200W new
1 Problem:
There is absolutely no Firewire available. I tested the onboard connection (which is at the backplate) and i also tested the extension connection with a additional firewire slot. Also it seems that wether Windows nor Linux is recognizing the firewire at all. The strange thing is that i recieved this new board after i send the first one back to my reseller with exactly the same problem!!! I also take a look into the BIOS if there is any option i need to activate but as far as i see there is nothing to set for 1394?
2 Problem:
As you can read above i use my GTX680 and all 3 RME Soundcards each with one PCI Slot. But some of the slots are not working fine. If i, for example mount my GTX680 to Slot 1 and want to mount my first RME Souncard to slot 4 (2 and 3 are covered under my GTX680) its not working. If i try it in slot 6 for example, the soundcard works fine.
BUT:
The slot 4 is not damaged cause if i set my GTX680 to slot 8 and retry my RME Cards in slot 4 its working...
Never had that before!
I connected the 24pin ATX and both 8pin connectors (the 4pin additional connector for the graphics is not used).
Would be nice if someone guiding me through the dark

With so many components and shared resources, you are gambling with IORQs and I/O addressing space.
Mmmhmm i dont thought about getting interrupts, MSI is offering the board with that configration/features and if there is one user out who try to use the board near to the fullest it should of course work or not?!

MSI big bang marshal B3 HECI pointer mismatch

Hi all
I have a MSI big bang marshal B3 with a 2600K cpu, i flashed the motherboard with 3.1 and 3.0 bios but can't change cpu multiplier
Finally i went back to 1.5 bios and all is good but now i have the "HECI pointer mismatch" at boot and can't find my secondary HDD in Windows.
I tried the MSI USB flashing Tools but same problem
Thanks to all for your help

You have this issue due to a downgrade without a special archive required. It is actually recommended to use bios 3.1 any way. Note that you need to use +/- keys of numpad to alter core ratio in later versions.

MSI Big Bang-XPower II SLI question

Hello. I have a MSI Big Bang-XPower II with two cards in SLI. The cards are cooled using AIO water cooling brackets which makes them take up three slots each instead of two. I would like to add a third card with the same cooling. The manual says that for 3-way sli I should use slots 1,3 and 5 or 7 as they are all PCIe 3. My processor doesn't do PCIe 3 so I leave it in PCIe 2 mode. My question is, could I set up the SLI configuration using slots 1, 4 and 7? Would it run at 16/8/8 in pcie 2? Or would the 4th slot not be usable for sli?
Thanks

No, that is not possible. PCI_E4 is a gen2 slot limited to x4. SLI is disabled once a slot used is at less than 8 lanes. Follow the Multi GPU support table on 1-21 of your manual.

MSI Big Bang XPower II X79 release date

Whats the release date for this motherboard to the UNITED STATES?
MSI Big Bang XPower II X79 LGA 2011

We don't know, we have nothing to do with MSI marketing. We are MSI product users the same as you helping each other with problems and have nothing to do directly with MSI. You would need to ask MSI. Question like that my typical answer is that you will know the release date after you see it for sale in the stores.

As a matter of fact if we knew the release dates of products like that we would post it in the forum to avoid those kind of questions all of the time.

MSI Big Bang-XPower quesiton on connectors

I have the MSI Big Bang-XPower and have a few questions that I couldn't answer by looking in the manual or searching the internet.
1. What is the TPM connector/module exactly used for?
2. What is the jspI1 connector for? It's not listed in the manual.
3. The JFP1 cnonector has 2 pins for POWER LED and the JFP2 connector has 1 pin labeled POWER LED. Should the case power LED be hooked to JFP1? What is the POWER LED on JFP2 for?
Thank you very much.

Google still works. TPM: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trusted_Platform_Module
JSPI1: http://www.google.com/search?q=jspi1&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
JFP1/JFP2: You would connect power LED to JFP1 if LED doesn't light up connected one way just reverse the wires and it will work, nothing will be damaged no matter which way they are connected. I'm not sure anymore what it's for on JFP2 except that some cases have different plugs for such things.

Again ME I think its a warning for a lot of you
Finely MSI contacted me and i get my RAM nr I spend 40£ to send the motherboard to MSI in Netherland yee i was happy someone will deal with the problem I have and they will update my BIOS to make sure my CPU will be compatible with the Mobo.
Today I receive my MOBO back I was really happy i connect all and i get in SHock nothing the same issue no Video output Monitor stays black just like was before the debug panel is off nothing running
i check and the serial nr of the MOBO is different what mean its total new Mobo and probably coz i cant get it running its same old BIOS i spend 40£ probably to swap new Motherboard for New Motherboard but not to fix the issue and the issue was simple i need version of bios 2.3 or higher to make it work with my CPU I7-4820K
now I don't know what to do the shop where I buy the Mobo dont want to help me and when i ask for my money back they seid its after the 30 days period and i cant get refund i just wasted 284£ all in for nothing a big black garbage what taking only space in my room now with MSI LOGO ON IT
In MSI eyes People don't buy new rigs they just upgrade stuff
it should be like that
I was should have old PC with I7-3930K and then i decide to buy new processor that how MSI Think (Why to buy 3820k or 3930k when u can get 4820 or 4930k for allmost the same price ? )
but my mistake was i buy new processor and new Motherboard and cant get it run because in that NEW MOBO is 1.2 Ver of BIOS and without having old CPU u cant update :(

Remove the graphics card, leave 1 RAM stick inside and test outside of the case. Clearing CMOS might be worth a try together with this too. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also you seem to mix RAM, unless you stated these to say you've tested both kits?
If still no go, take the CPU out and have a look if you can find any bent pins on the CPU socket.
