MSI E350IA-E45 Entering Bios

After having pressed the Del key during booting up - the computer hangs with "Entering Setup" shown in the bottom left of the screen.
* The problem was orignally found with the 1.0 version of the Bios but remains after upgrading to 1.5. With both versions the Bios was cleared with by switching the JBAT connector.
* Memcheck86 has been executed and reports no error.
* Attempts have been made with the SSD and BR drives detached with no joy
Setup is as follows:
1 MSI E350IA-E45, AMD E-350
Mini-ITX, Hudson M1, DDR3, 1xPCIe(2.0)x16, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, VGA,
HDMI
1 Crucial DDR3 1066MHz 4GB KIT, CL7,
Kit w/two matched DDR3 2GB, 240pin
1 Corsair SSD Nova Series™ V32, 32GB
SATA2, 2,5", 195MB/70MB/s read/write, incl 2,5" to 3,5" bracket
1 Lite-On DVD±RW/Blu-Ray Reader, IHOS104
SATA, 4x BD-ROM Read, DVD±R: 12x, DVD±RW: 8x, Bulk, BLACK
1 Ace Polly Mini-ITX Svart
Fan: 1x 80mm Back, 150W PSU, mITX, 18 dBA, 2x SATA, 2x USB2.0, HD
Audio

Well, Ace is way down in the quality lists. The Ace was bought from Komplett in Sweden, would I gissa. But it is not sold any longer, likely because the quality simply was too poor:

MSI E350IA-E45 BIOS V1.5 fails to install

I have a MSI E350IA-E45 motherboard, currently running V1.4 of the BIOS (which I had previously flashed from 1.3). I downloaded, unzipped and attempted to install the 1.5 BIOS last week, and it just hangs during the flash program using a bootable DOS USB drive. I tried 2 different USB flash drives, and I also tried using the M-flash method. No luck. It behaves as if the BIOS image is corrupted. I tried downloading it from a different country's MSI server, same symptom. Has anyone here successfully upgraded to this level BIOS? Thanks!

Henry, I tried the forum utility. It appeared to install ok on a USB stick, but would not boot. Upon inspection, the USB stick did not have a DOS kernel installed on it, so I gave up on that method.
I eventually got the BIOS updated via my own original bootable DOS USB stick, using the AFUDE234 program. For some reason, I had to turn off the HDMI-connected HDTV I use as a monitor, and plug in a standard monitor via VGA. I guess there is a video mode issue under DOS.

MSI E350IA-E45 vs MSI E350IA-E44

Hi
I want to buy a mainboard MSI E350IA-E45, but I can find it nowhere.
Seller's made me offer for MSI E350IA-E44, but there is no information on the net about the model.
There is no test, no review.
It seems very similar to E45 acoording to specs.
Anyone knows differences for this two mobo's ?
Is it older model ? For other region ?
regards
Roger

So far I can only find the MSI E350IA-E44 on the MSI Malaysia website, the -45 is on all the rest of them. I don't see any difference in specifications & BIOS so it's my guess the only difference would be regional location where they are sold.

Thank you for your reply. Yesterday I saw these specs also.
You've confirmed my assumptions.
I'll buy E44 and check it

MSI E350IA-E45 boot/post problem with some USB devices

Hi,
My new mainboard E350IA-E45 with BIOS ver. 1.4 has problems "BIOS problems" booting/posting when I connect a USB IR Receiver from CyberLink and also with a USB wireless adapter model USB-N10 from ASUS, using USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 ports.
It does the problem with one of the two devices or the two at the same time connected.
With the Logo disabled, I only see a number (not always the same) at the bottom right of the screen when I boot/reboot, and I cannot enter BIOS. If I wait a while, about half a minute Windows starts and other times not ( I'm not sure at this moment).
When this happens (not booting/posting) if I remove (while powered) these devices the motherboard posts immediately and normal operation is back !
When none is connected, it works without problems.
Does anyone have a solution or explanation for this behavior ?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Quote from: Bas on 13-October-11, 15:28:28
How can you call this explanation "working fine" ??
Your powersupply is just 75W, anything can happen with so little power.
As said before, test the board with a 300W powersupply and see if it solves it.
I bought this Mini-ITX case to have a silent HTPC, its height is 62mm, so where do I put a power supply of 300W using this case if the problem realy "is" the power adapter ! Sorry to say that, but for me it's not the power adapter.
When I BOOT it, my power meter indicates the maximum value and it's between 25-30 watts, and you say that a 75W external adapter is not enough and what about netbooks or nettops with Zacate inside with similar adapters !
Can you explain to me why or how it fails to POST in few seconds (or no POST at all) with one of these devices that has a tiny power consumption. And why it POST with a external USB HDD ! It makes no sense to me.
Anyway if there is no solution to this problem (maybe BIOS update), I don't mind very much to wait about 20 seconds until it POST with the two devices connected, because after that I have no other problems.
Best regards.

[MSI E350IS-E45] Problem with DVD drive

Hello my friends.
I just bought this little board to make a HTPC for my daddy and Im getting a hard time with it.
I installed everything fine and installed windows 7, via USB flashdrive and when i rebooted I tried to put the CD with drivers to finish installation, but whenever i put any cd inside this drive the computer boots.
If I start the computer with CD inside the drive, it will just hang with a 98 error code down and just wont start the windows.
The computer have the following parts:
- Spire PowerCube 300w (http://www.spirecoolers.com/main/product_detail.asp?ProdID=826)
- MSI E350IS-E45
- 2x2gb OCZ SIGNATURE DDR3 1333MHZ, configured as 1066mhz.
- 1x OCZ AGILITY 60GB SSD
I tried change the sata cable from one place to another. This psu is very good and have enough power to this setup, this psu was tested with a core i3 system (wich by the way consumes way more power than this HUDSON guy).
Please, dont lie to me... Im on this busines for almos 2 decades and I know that there is something very odd happening here, I just downloaded a new bios version and will try to do a bios update later when i get home to see if this problem is solved.
Thanx in advance!

First of all, I would redo the cooler paste.
It's my experience that the installed thermal-pads are no good.
I have the E350IA-E45 myself and I removed the pads and the temperature dropped significantly.
I informed MSI about this and they are currently retesting the cooling solution, removing the pads for grease can lower temps as much as 10C!! (or more)...
As for the PSU, my system with 4! 1TB harddisks and full load hardly uses more then 55W tops, that PSU should not be a problem.
However, do consider the drive can be faileing, OR the drive is bootable and crashes before Windows can start.
I have noticed that our Forum-flasher crashes too with exactly the same symptom.
Anyway, what do you mean the computer boots if you put a CD in? Is that after or before Windows is loaded?
Because before it can mean the CD is bootable, if it's after Windows is loaded it probably means the drive is bad.
In any case, do check the thermal pad under the cooler, see in the BIOS how hot the CPU is.

MSI E350IA-E45 gigabit LAN problem

Hi there, I'm having some problems with my gigabit connection on my MSI E350IA-E45 rig.
I'm using a D-Link DGS-1005D Gigabit Desktop Switch and my other PC hooked up to it has a 1000mbps connection while the connection on my E350IA-E45 rig is stubbornly on 100mbps connection.
I have already installed the latest Realtek PCIE LAN driver from the product page (release date 2011-06-02). Is there anything else that I missed? Maybe a BIOS issue of some sort? Would appreciate any advice on this matter.
(btw, I'm running 64-bit Windows 7)
Thanks

To answer your question between Cat 5e and Cat 6.
It's the bandwidth that they have:
Cat5(e) - 100MHz - 100BASE-TX & 1000BASE-T Ethernet (e-version is just a bit better tested, nothing more)
Cat6 - 250MHz - 1000BASE-T Ethernet
BUT, CAT5(e) can only be used with 1000Base on short lengths, upto 15 meters however it's not sure it works at all.
I use CAT5 between 2 1000Base switches and it does 30 meters with ease, but switches are less sensitive then a single networkcard or between cards.

Gpu core clock low msi e350ia-e45

I'm been running into a problem while bitcoin mining.
I noticed that when I moved my MSI e350ia-e45 setup into my computer room that the Mhash/s starts off at 11.2 then drops to 4.3 after a couple of minutes.
The previous room was about 66F ambient temps, the new room is about 75F.
I downloaded msi afterburner and noticed that when my Mhash/s drops, my gpu core clock speed drops to 200mhz from 492mhz.
This happens when the gpu hits 60c-61c.
I was running catalyst 11.6 and then tried 11.7 with the same problem still.
I've upgraded the bios to the latest 1.5 and still no fix.
I've tried disabling cool n quiet in the bios.
I upgraded my case cooling.
I added thermal paste(which is why it changes in minutes rather than seconds now).
Still no luck.
This is a little bit of a let down as I also own a C-50 based netbook that does not exhibit this behavior. It will happily run at the 278mhz gpu core clockspeed past 80c.
The e350 is rated up to 90c so why would it underclock the gpu at 61c?
My friend has an asus e350 board and in my room it doesn't underclock the gpu. His runs at a steady 78c in here.
I can only think that it is a bios issue.
Any idea's?

I moved it back to the other room with the lower temps and the issues vanished. Too bad it can't stay in that room(the ethernet connection to that room travels through the outside and is prone to killing switches/routers/ethernet cards during lightning storms.
I guess it's not much of an issue, but the whole reason for buying an e350 was the higher gpu clock rate compared to the c-50. It's kind of pointless if the gpu drops down to 200mhz when slightly heated. It makes my c-50 netbook much faster than the msi e350 motherboard.
I love the motherboard, and all it's features, except for the clock problem.
I'm still hoping it's a software issue and not a bios issue.
I'll try installing an even earlier version of catalyst.
I will be installing linux to see if the problems persist.

MSI E350IA-E45: 61C 4300RPM in idle

New MSI E350IA-E45, open computer case, no OS yet. Check BIOS HW monitoring page: CPU temp. 61C, CPU fan speed 4300RPM. I can't check full load temperatures (no OS yet).
It seems to me it is too high temperature and as the result - quite noisy cooling.
What could you recommend? Send to replace/repair?
P.S. Glad to read about any experience with this MB temperatures.

Do not use M-flash!!!
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< instead.
M-flash has killed so many boards that it's not funny anymore.
(Yes we are telling MSI this every chance we have but they keep in there )
Lesson learned ... I wish I new that before I tried to use the m-flash

Cool n Quiet on MSI E350IA-E45

Just picked up the mini-ITX E350IA-E45 for a home theater build. Seems to be performing well, but I can't seem to get the C&Q to work. It's enabled in BIOS, I've got the W7-64 power settings set correctly, but the CPU stays at 1600 MHz, and the temperature seems HOT at 70C. Any thoughts or experiences?
I'm afraid to flash the BIOS because of the horror stories I've read, and everything else seems to be working fine.
Oh, when I try to launch AOD or MSI Overclocking Center, they just crash.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've got AS5 and Ceramique, so I'll try one of those.
I also had been using Everest to monitor the CPU frequency. It wasn't able to detect CPU temp, though, so I was getting that reading from the BIOS. I tried another monitoring program called HWiNFO64, and it detected that C&Q was indeed working. It also gave me two very different temps: one from an AMD sensor that went from 63-70C, and another (don't recall the name offhand, maybe Fintek or something?) that gave me readings from 47-50C. Wondering which one was accurate, if either.
Thanks again!

MSI E350IA-E45 HDDs supported

Hi,
I need to know if the board 'E350IA-E45' supports 2TB or 3TB Hard Disk Drives ?
Thanks.

MSI E350IA-E45 Wake on Lan

Hello,
A few day's ago I ordered the E350IA-E45 to build into a HTPC, but the day after I read a post where someone said that
this board does not support Wake on Lan. So I decided to go searching for confirmation, but I can't seem to find an answer. I've already
searched the manual, but it doesn't say anything about Wake on Lan.
I'm hoping someone here can confirm that it does, or does not support Wake on Lan.
Willie

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
It has a Realtek RTL8111E lan controller, which does support WOL.

MSI E350IA-E45 BIOS option missing !?

Hi,
Why in my BIOS (Advanced -> H/W Monitor) I dont't have the option 'CPU Min. Fan Speed (%)' !?
My Board came with BIOS ver. 1.4 and now has ver. 1.5
Has MSI removed this option ?
Regards.

Case fans? With that tiny board that doesn't know how to get hot
The powersupply fan alone should be enough.
But if you must use a casefan, typical they are powered with 12V (yellow + black), if you power them with 5V (red + black) they spin very silent.
It only takes 1 pin to move on the molex.
I'm talking about a harddisk connector, not the mobo-fan-header.

MSI E350IA-E45 USB Not recognised after cold boot.

Any one else have the same issue? My asus (Bluetooth) BT211 is not recognised after cold boot.
I also found the front USB's losing power when PC turned off. Connected them up to 5VSB to fix the issue.
MSI tech has not been back to me if this is a fault design, My motherboard issue or bios issue? Which also means to charge via front USB not work when turned off.
And to top it off I cannot find an answer to whether the Wake on Bluetooth USB is supposed to work?

How did you connect up the USB ports to 5VSB?
I have a similar issue with a newer MSI board and my USB mouse; I'd have to remove and re-insert the USB connection to the mouse after each cold boot in order for it to be recognized. I did a kludge fix by looping the mouse through a powered USB hub that supplies power to connected devices even when the PC is off.
This MSI board doesn't have a hardware jumper to enable 5VSB to the USB ports, unlike other motherboards. Also, none of the "green" or wakeup settings in the BIOS would cause the USB ports to have power when the PC is off.
So, how do you connect 5VSB to the USB ports? I've heard that crossing the regular 5V rail with 5VSB is a no-no, so I can't imagine how you did it.

MSI E350IA-E45 Wake On USB does not work

I spent hours trying to get the computer to be able to wake from my usb devices. I enabled it in the bios and in the Windows 7 device manager. However, it doesn't work. The motherboard cuts off power to the USB when in S3 sleep mode. Has anybody been able to get Wake From USB working on this board or is it false advertisement?

Mine works with a USB mouse but not Bluetooth mouse.... My BT also has issues on cold start, until I jumped the 5volt pin to the 5v stand by on the power supply
