MSI DK790 GX (non platinum) - Flashing bios

Hello there!
First things first, please accept my apologies if my language seems wrong. I'm not a native english speaker, and do not hesite to ask to repeat.
Second thing, i've read some similar topic but i'm still confused about how i have to flash my motherboard who got the CMOS checksum error which seems to be resolved by a bios update (aswell as the phenom II 940 black recognition).
Here are my questions :
- Just curiosity : what is the difference between platinum and non platinum?
- As stated, i've read similar topic, but there are a lot of files and methods of application. SO far, i've read :
http://www.msicomputer.com/support/images/BIOS_FD.pdf <- a way to prepare a USB key. With invalid links now
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=e27cbe18b80fdde8139d2f1fc3536015&topic=116721.0  <- MSI hq usb bios flash tool
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=e27cbe18b80fdde8139d2f1fc3536015&topic=123634.msg933217#msg933217 <- amiflash?
And i got the following files :
AFUD4280.zip (taken from : http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?nnzwenux0mz ) - is it an OK file? is there any newer BIOS?
The amiflash
And the MSIHQ Tool 1.17x9 Installer
So i do not really understand all those post, i mean i'm a bit confused about how to proceed.
Let's say i'll prepare my USB device with the MSIHQ Tool 1.17x9 Installer .
Then what should i do, step by step?
I fail to see what is the point of the amiflash, while the AFUD4280 seems to be the bios update.
I've never flashed a bios before, and while i'm confused, i'm also a little scared to do wrong manipulations and mess it all.
That's why i came here.
THanks a lot for your help.
Cheers.

First of all: read the link Bas posted. It's pretty clear info and you don't need anything more than that. The forum flasher is the best way to flash your bios.
Second: you don't need any ami-flash tool or what soever. You only need a bios-ROM-file for the usb-flash tool to use. Get the newest bios here: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1552
Don't worry, the platinum and non-platinum boards use the same bios. they're about 99.9% the same boards, except from some tiny differences.
Now, download the bios file and place it on your desktop. Start the forum flash tool and let it prepare an usb stick. If asked, point to the bios file on the desktop and let the tool do it's work. I don't have to explain step-by-step, since the screen info is very clear on what you have to do and when.
After flashing, clear cmos (with AC-power disconnected) and reboot the system. Go into bios, load default/optimized settings and make changes you want. And then you'll be ready to go!!

    How to Flash MSI Guides.
    There are different ways to flash the bios but to keep things simple will concentrate on the MSI Official methods :-
    1) Award Flash BIOS Procedure 98/ME
    This method assumes access to hd formatted using FAT32 & therefore readable by DOS.
    2) Flashing the BIOS for Users using NON FAT file system
    For use with Linux based & NTFS File systems - HD Not readable from DOS.  Using this procedure the  the files are copied to the virtual drive before running the flash utility. So the flash effectively is all done in memory.
    This will be the method used by the majority of us. So:-
    Follow the instructions in the last link (Thanks Bas)
    The details below are additional checks/notes referring to the steps in Bas's guide, which may be useful.
    Essential
    2) Know Your model number  - Is of increased Importance for NEO4 users - We have already seen instances of this.
    5-1) Ensure you have a Boot Floppy with CD suport (this creates the Virtual drive used in the process) If you haven't got such
    a boot disc see BootrDisc.com link in Rescources.
    5-2) B4 booting floppy - Enter Bios & Load Optimised Defaults - To ensure that bios is returned to stock & any overclocking is
    turned off.
    7) If you miss the ramdrive letter the last DOS message will show your CD drive letter. The Ramdrive is the letter preceeding
    the CD Drive. EG CD = D Ramdrive = C
    Optional - Gives better control of procedure
    11) Use of Switch command options with AWFL833C.EXE /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/r TargetBios.file
    Personnaly I use the switches as does Syar :-
    Per Syar2003 Iv'e always used :
    AWFL833D W7030NMS.xxx /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/r
    or
    AWFL833D W7030NMS.xxx /py/sn/wb/cc/cd/cp/f/r
    And a hard reset with jumper when done .
    For a more detailed explanation of switches see :-
    Syar's Bios Switch Explained
    or Syar's Bios Collection - Flashing.txt
    See Also Using a Batch File to Automate bios flash
    12) after flash , enter Bios & load optimized defaults , then save + exit with no other change .
    That way you have a fresh system with a fresh non problematic dmi-pool and user settings .
    After this Enter Bios & Re-enter your custom settings.
    From Syar - Which one do I do first?
    Thanks to Bas & Syar for the majority of info in this guide

    1) Winflash (Syar2003) -
    Winflash is safe to use if your windows and pc is stable .
    How to get it Download & install MSI Live Update. Winflash is located "C:\Program Files\MSI\Live Update 3\FlashUty\Award
    And as with dos flash reset bios and any overclocking to "load optimized bios default" + save, before and after flashing.
    After winflash is finished it ask if you want to reboot - answer no , and shutdown (turn off) windows/pc instead .
    After that disconnect the PSU's AC and reset the cmos with the jumper on the board .
    This is how I use it , - safest way .

  • 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)
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=99924.0
    Flash bios doesn't need to be done from HD .
    You can have both afudos flash util and bios image file on a msdos bootable floppy diskette (verify it from windows with chkdsk A: /R )

  • MSI 770T-C45 won't post after flashing BIOS with M-FLASH

    After flashing AMIBIOS 8.3 to v8.7 with M-FLASH via USB stick I can't get any post.
    Had I read this forum before I wouldn't have done it, but here I am.
    Fan starts, LEDs are off, no beeps at all, power button does nothing. Black screen.
    After force flashing (yes, I am THAT stupid) the prompt said it would reboot in 5 seconds and after that nothing.
    Here's my setup:
    Board: MSI 770T-C45
    Original Bios: v8.3
    Flashed Bios:  v8.7 (flashed with M-FLASH)
    VGA:   EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
    PSU:   Enermax FMAII EG465AX-VE 460W
    CPU: AMD Phenom x4 9650
    MEM: Kingston DDR2-667 4x2GB KVR667D2N5/2G
    HDD: SAMSUNG 840 SSD 250GB
    OS: Windows 8 Pro 64bit
    I tried every CMOS clearing method found in previous posts and threads (including this and this.)
    1. Unplugged from power, waited 5 minutes, removed the battery (5mins), changed jumper position (5min), switched it back (5min), plugged it in (5min) and powered up with and without USB stick in the hub next to network hub with old BIOS (v8.3) inside. Pressed CTRL+HOME, anything, not a single message or beep or LED flashing.
    Also I removed all RAMs and kept one in the first socket. Nothing.
    I really don't know what to do next. What seems to differ from other users is LEDs non working, what does that mean?

    The problem here is that after update 8.6 the m-flash module was updated, so yes your mobo is a brick, but there is still hope for it. I had the same situation a few days ago with the exact same model and was able to recover it by following the steps on listed on the below posts:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=133578.0
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129989.0
    It may seem complicated at first, but trust me its not at all.
    Anyways you probably already have another mobo, send it for RMA or used it as frisbee, but it may come handy for some other doing the same noob flashing as we did

  • Flash Bios is Write Protected? (K8N Neo2 Platinum)

    Ok I just attempted to flash I have tried both winflash and boot disk.
    Win flash tells me something about locks, however boot disk tells me that "Flash Bios is Write Protected". I have looked through the bios I can't for the life of me figure out 1) what version I am running or 2) where the write protect is at.
    I have seen so many people that have had no problems with this I figure that it has to be something stupid I am doing wrong'
    I did run this flash according to all the switches in the official "how to properly flash your bios correctly" thread.

  • Do I need to flash bios P7N SLI platinum CPU upgrade from E8200 to QX9650?

    Hi everybody,
    just registered and new to this forum. Just want to ask if anybody here have any idea if there are compatablity issues and do I need to flash BIOS of my M/B whenever I upgrade my CPU from E8200 to QX9560? my rig specs are listed below:
    CPU - E8200 core 2 Duo (planning to upgrade to QX9560)
    M/B - MSI P7N SLI Platinum
    RAM - 4 X 1g DDR2 800mhz Kingston
    PSU - 1000w Coolermaster
    VGA - 2 x Nvidia GTX285 (SLIED)
    DVD/R/W - 2 
    Any suggestions and recommendation are very much appreciated.
    Thank you,
    znarf

    Do you really mean QX9560? I can't seem to find it on the motherboard's support list.
    If you meant the QX9650, it says it requires BIOS v1.0, which it should have already come with. Check out in CPU-Z what BIOS version you currently have.
    Here's the CPU support list: http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1373&maincat_no=1

  • Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 with MSI MS K8N Neo Platinum (Bios Version 1.40)

    I am interested in Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 (PC4000) 512MB DDR-SDRAM. Currently, I’m using MSI MS K8N Neo Platinum (Bios Version 1.40) with AMD 64bit 2800+ & MSI MS 8907 FX5200-TD128 AGP Card.
    Please advice whether the Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 (PC4000) 512MB DDR-SDRAM compatible with my systems.

    The "safe mode" that the BIOS message refers to is not related to Windows' Safe Mode. The BIOS safe mode lets you un-do any overclocking or memory settings that might make your computer so unstable that you can't even get into the BIOS settings to change them. In that case, you hold insert while powering on to reset the BIOS to default safe values.
    As for your problem getting into Windows' Safe Mode. If you upgraded from another motherboard that uses a different chipset, or if you somehow got the wrong chipset drivers installed, then the old AGP GART or chipset drivers will cause the system to halt/reboot very early in the Windows boot process even in safe mode. I've run into this problem before and its tricky. Best thing to do is switch back to the old motherboard, then go into safe mode and remove all chipset-related drivers, and then switch back to the new motherboard. If you can't do that, try running system repair from the windows setup CD. And failing that, you'd probably have to fully re-install the OS.

  • Bios Settings For MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum MB

    Hello all...  Has anyone came up with the best and most stable bios settings for the MSI K8N Neo4/SLI Platinum motherboard yet.  Specifically under the CPU and Memory menus. 
    If anyone has seen any, please post them. or post a link.

    Well that depends on the installed CPU and memory, doesnt it? So I find that question kinda odd.
    One thing though: Dont use Cool n Quiet.

  • What we need - a guide on how to flash bios, setup bios, and raid

    Ok, a topic I see very often on many forums, and several times here, is the following; How to flash bios, how to setup the bios settings, and how to setup the raid array, and then setup the bios to boot from the raid array. Could we perhaps pull our heads togheter and write a detailed guide on these three topics, taking into account how to do it on the most used (commonly written about) MSI boards? and perhaps put as a sticky?
    It would help many novice users trying to deal with these problems. I am willing to write on the subject of flashing bios on the MSI K8N SLI Platinum and how to install a Bios Saviour.

  • Help with msi k8n nforce 4 platinum

    recently my mobo msi k8n nforce4 platinum SLI burned. the northbridge chipset caught fire.
    i found a used msi k8n nforce 4 platinum but NOT sli.
    my processor is a 4400 amd socket 939 dual core.
    os: windows vista with sp1.
    1) i just installed the mobo and boot my pc. vista booted correctly, installed all the new controllers, restarted BUT from that moment i cant use the cool n quiet mode , vista shows that i have 16gb of ram!!! but i have only 2, and the mobo shows that the model of my 4400 is unknown so it cant show the one processor!! it olny shows one processor...
    cool and quiet is enabled from the bios. but everest or amd power monitor shows 1,39 volt instead of 1,10 i used to have when the processor worked idle..
    2) how can i change the rate of the ram in bios? in my previous mobo had specific option to choose between 1T or 2T. Now i cant find that option.. can you help me?
    Thank you and sorry for my english...
    bios version show on first screen 031105

    sorry i didnt wrote the solution, i assumed you understood the bios issue.
    my mobo had a bios with date 031105 now has the latest bios from the official site of msi
    at the beginning a assumed that it had the latest bios because the guy i bought from told me that he had flashed the mobo with the latest bios so i didnt think to look for a bios from the beginning.

  • Help: flashing BIOS

    Hello to u all again! :-)
    I've finally understand that my 875P Neo need a BIos upgrade. In fact, from the Bios Release History from MSI seems that older versions of 875P's Bios were afflicted by errors in monitoring temperature sensors.
    This seems to be a problem not only for me, but also for many others 875P Neo's owners.
    The problem, now:
    I've got an ATA133 Hard disk, connected to the ATA133 connector. I realized that ATA133 is competence of the RAID/S-ATA controller on board, and that's the problem.
    In order to assure a secure flash operation, I should start from a boot floppy disk, and then look on the Hard Disk to find the flash utility and the bios file.
    MSI recommends not to flash directly from floppy, and that's the main prob.
    Here I sum up the problems related with the bios upgrade;
    - I cannot create a boot disk, using Windows 2000 Professional (NTFS). ;(
    - I used another boot disk (I presume it was made with Win98SE), but then I cannot see my hard disk, I don't know why, maybe because it is a NTFS partition, but most probably because without any RAID driver, the boot disk cannot see the presence of the HD. 8o
    How should I flash in security my bios? Please help me!  :D
    Thanks a lot boyz!
    Matteo

    First of all, thanks for your attention.
    Quote
    No you cannot see NTFS from DOS.  Either way that is not relevant since even if it was FAT you would likely not see the drive on the IDE3 as it requires promise drivers to even see the volume regardless of the volume\'s file table format.
    As I supposed...  X(
    Quote
    Another option, if you have Nero Burning ROM is to make a bootable Cd-ROM with the BIOS files on it.  When it asks for boot files, use your boot floppy in A:\\ drive to allow Nero to make the disk bootable.  then you can add files to the boot CD-ROM too!
    Yes, this is another very easy solution too!
    But, in order to do this dangerous operation in safety, i'd like to take a backup of the current (1.20) version of my Bios.
    If I use a cd i can't backup bios current version. Or not?!?
    Quote
    I use a boot CD-ROM and a CF flash card (USB Legacy must be set to ALL DEVICES in the BIOS) that has ALL bios versions on it, so I can choose what version I want when I want.
    That's a very nice solution... But can you access to the Compactflash reader with the only Boot Cd?
    I think that I'll use the method described in the MSI page about non FAT systems, using a boot disk and ramdrive.
    Seems to be the safest solution.
    Thanks again!

  • MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum. DOn´t boot

     
    I have a problem with my MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum.  Yesterday I started to mount my computer and when I finished to install everything the computer does not bind.  It swims happens, the Motherboard this not obtaining to receive energy  .  Until my Power Supply it is not functioning, does not receive energy!  Somebody has some Idea of that it can be happening?  Power Supply:  Seventeam ST-420bkv Processor:  Athlon 3000+ venice.  OBS:  All the components are new.

    Well it wasnt the battery
    The one I pulled from the board was reading 2.68v, the new one is reading 3.17v, but the problem remains :((
    BUT, I discovered if I hold the case power button in while switching the PSU on fom the back that the CMOS details are fine after all?!?! Not pressing the case power button results in the no boot problem. Maybe the switching that disables the battery when the AC is on is broke ???
    Its a weird one alright but I can live with it till my next upgrade - which wont be MSI - too many bugs. I have a Gigabyte board in my second PC and its rock solid, dual BIOS and never had a single problem with it - maybe that or ASUS next time round )
    Hope this helps anyone else with a similar problem.
    Would still like to know what the flashing led error is though?? 
    many thnx for all the input guys.
    g2k.

  • MSI neo4 plat(non sli) sound problem.... and other problem...

    hi
    (sorry for my poor english)
    FIRST ISSUE
    ok here is the deal, i got no sound when using the rear panel of the mother board... but when i use the front panel of my case there no problem and i get sound....
    after reading a lot on sound problem i try first to change my bios so i check the 1.8 and the 1.6 but still no result... , i also try to use the nvidia sound drive instead of the raitek one.... but still nothing ... in the system all appeare to be ok, windows dont detect any conflict on hardware on so one... even the nvidia mixer equaliser move... but no output...
    i also read a litle about the compatibylity issue betwen the mobo and the atx2 PSU standard with the using of the 5v pin...,but as far i read it seem that this is only on the sli version...do this issue also concernt the non sli version ?can this explain my problem ?
    SECOND
    i got from time to time a bleu screem with the message DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL.... can someone now what can cause this ?
    thank

    Hi!
    I am also facing this problem with my K8N NEO4 Platinum Ultra.
    I have even tested my PC with a PSU which is having -5v in it's rating.
    I have also requested a help from MSI Support.
    Their & My reply is as follows.
    But still my problem could not be solved.  My sound card as per the OS works fine and produces output.  But no audible output for humans to hear.
    This is the case with both front and rear panels.
    I have even sent the MB for RMA but here in India, people are fools.  Even from RMA the board was shipped back in the same faulty condition.  What to say?  Whom to curse?  Only money and 20days were spent waiting for repair and in wain.
    If any body can help it will be very nice.
    Here is my reply to MSI:
    My K8n Neo4 Platinum Ultra - earlier was giving good quality sound output. Later after 15 days of using this board, it does not give any audible sound at all. But through headphone socket of cd player I am able to receive good quality sound.
    And also while using CD Player to play audio tracks, the output is very intermitent and feeble with lots of cracking noise and poor quality audio is heard.
    Through Windows Media Player no sound is heard at all.
    I reinstalled win2000/Win2000Server/Win2003 XP Server. In all the platform sound problem exists. Any solutions?
    My PSU has 20amps in +12V rail and has no -5v. 24 pin adaptor with 400W.
    SATA HDD 80GB WD. 256*2=512mb DDR 400 Ram.
    CPU AMD 3000+ Winchester core.
    Thanks in advance.
    REPLY FROM MSI:
    Dear SoftWheels:
    Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
    With regard to yoru concern, we would like to know before the onboard sound function abnormally, if you have made any adjustment to your system hardware or software?
    And at this time would you please try to un-install the sound driver in the Add or Remove Program, then install the ALC Series AC'97 Audio Drivers refer to the link below, after this please first check if in Device Manager there is any yellow mark.

    AGAIN MY RESPONSE TO MSI:
    Dear Sir,
    Thanks for your reply. But reply does not solve my problem. I have tried all that you said in your reply.
    I have done nothing to hardware. No electrical problems or burning.
    Due to no sound, I have even totally zero filled my SATA hard disk, updated bios, re-installed
