MSI GE60 cannot access BIOS (black screen + white underscore)

So I've tried accessing the BIOS using the DEL key but when I do it the only thing that shows up is a black screen with a white unblinking underscore. Why is this? My BIOS version is : E16GCIMS.517

You can check with the nearby local retailer first and see if they have the model you like.

If they don't have the model with the AZERTY keyboard you need, then you can also try to contact with the nearby ...

GS70 cannot access bios, black screen

Hello,
I have bricked my bios (I have the black screen with the flashing white line). My computer seems to work fine no problem otherwise. I only realized it wasn't working when trying to install Ubuntu.
I have read a plethora of information on the forums and online unfortunately nothing seems to be of much help.
All of MSI's guides seem to assume that you would be able to access the BIOS to flash the file, so I can't find the proper steps to take. Furthermore, the guides show that there are always 4 files or so in these zip files, however mine only comes with a bios file and a text file directing me to the guide.
Would anyone here be able to help me? These FLASHWIN64 bat files seem to be nonexistent, and seem to be what could help me fix my problem. I am in windows 8.1, GS70 2OD-001 machine.
Another funny thing is when I go to the support site for my specific model, MSI only shows the bios for windows 7, even though my machine was bought with windows 8. But if you type in google GS70 Stealth, it pops open with all the drivers etc and lists the correct speccs for my machine.
Thank you very much for your time.

Which model of GS70 do you have?
If you can enter the OS, then an BIOS update may be possible to fix the issue.

HP Pavilion DV6-3029tx Cannot Access BIOS Setup

Hello there, I have used this laptop for nearly two years, if I remember correctly.
Basically, the problem is that I want to disable Function key, but I cannot access BIOS setup.
I have tried every combination of keys at start-up screen, from ESC to F10, none of them worked.
So I thought maybe an BIOS update can solve the problem (My current version is F.07), I downloaded firmware from HP support site and run it, know what, the screen flashed and system get restarted, but nothing had changed, I didn't get even an error message.
The problem is actually found by a HP supporter when I send my laptop for cleaning last year, he didn't manage to fix it at the time and problem became devastating for me lately because certain software I am using rely heavily on function keys. The only things "big" I have ever done to my laptop were updating windows 7 Home to Ultimate (32-bit) and partition, I am not sure if they were the reason.
The following is InsydeFlash log, I searched the error code and find somebody with similar problem here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-Systems-and/Pavillion-DV6-3125er-BIOS-UPDATE-Error/t...

MSI GE60 ONC Unlocked BIOS Request

Laptop MSI GE60 0NC-497XRU
BIOS Version E16GAIMS.10F
EC Version 16GAEMS1 Ver4.04
Is there a unlocked version of this model?
With Best Regards)

I need to disable some options, such as "Execute Disable Bit", and access the BIOS item "Switchable Graphics", to turn off the built-in Intel HD.
something like this

Black screen white cursor hell

The computer is a Sony Viao VGC-R210G running Windows XP Media with 4 GB RAM and an NVIDIA G8500 with a Matrox card.
On running Premiere Pro CS4, the program will appear to be running normally, then crashes and provides an error window. The OS then reboots itself. The Windows splash screen comes up and everything appears to be ready to boot, but all that is displayed is a black screen with a white moveable cursor. There is no way to get back to normal Windows operation after this, short of reloading the OS.
Believe me, I've tried.
This has happened twice -- huge pain in the *** reloading my drives.
Pardon me for being such a n00b, but if one is uploading an Adobe update of a Creative Suite, is it advisable to delete the original Adobe suite apps after the upgrade? It's just an intuitive guess, but I feel as though the two versions of Premiere are not playing nicely together. (I'm not launching them at the same time, but are they sharing resources that are different versions with the same name?)

Bill Gehrke wrote:
Could this be another case of Matrox card problems? Did you update at least to the latest Matrox drivers?
Thanks for the hint, Bill.
No. The last update of the Matrox drivers was 2007 when I got the card. Perhaps I should scan the forums for Matrox horror stories to see if these might apply.
I tend to doubt it though. On the last upload, Matrox wouldn't allow me to load the drivers until I had loaded Premiere Pro. I never got around to it before the black screen brought everything to a screeching halt.
On my Google quest to avoid reloading my drive, I found this black screen white cursor problem seems to be common, but the causes and solutions seem to be all different. Microsoft doesn't have any technical articles on it at all. The common element in my case was, unambiguously, use of Premiere Pro CS4.

Cannot access iPad Apps Screen

While playing solitaire on my iPad, the screen froze. Cannot access my Apps screen. Tried turning off and on. Siri is available, but no help. How can I retrieve my Apps Screen icons? Thanks

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure.

TS1363 I recently updated my iphone overnight and today I can't get it to come on, I've tried the restore and nothing works. I've tried syncing with 3 different computers and nothing works. I'm getting the black screen, white apple and a line under that

I updated my phone overnight and now I can't get it to come on. I've tried everything, I have a black screen, white apple and a mine below that looks like it's trying to load but it has stopped. HELP!

You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
So far I have tried the following to no avail:
Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
Reinstalled the latest itunes.
Reset the ipod.
Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

MSI Z87 GD65 - Hangs on black screen with 9C at bottom right

Pretty much what the title says, 'MSI Z87 GD65 - Hangs on black screen with 9C at bottom right'. Does anyone have any idea why it does this? It hangs for a while before eventually continuing with the start-up, this is most frustrating when I have an SSD and want a quick start-up. I have already looked it up in the manual to no luck. Help?

9C last for me like 1 to 3s, depending on the amount of USB devices attached. If I have only USB printer, keyboard, and mouse attached, it shows for roughly less than 1.5s.

Msi R9 270X Hawk 2Gb Black Screen

It is unfortunate that this is a problem that repeat this often.
I bought the card in February 2014 and been running perfectly until a few days ago came the famous "black screens" to load the drivers, I've tried everything:
- Completely clean installation S.O. W7 x64 with Catalyst drivers v13-12 ---> ERROR
- Completely clean installation S.O. W8.1 x64 with Catalyst drivers v13-12 and the new bios Hybrid for W8 ---> ERROR
- Restore backups S.O. (W7 x64) where the card working properly ---> ERROR
- With the default drivers S.O. Catalyst drivers without the graphics card works perfectly but is useless for games.
I came to think that it is a hardware error and therefore RMA process.
This is the last step I can take before RMA, if no solution with a new vBios these
believe are the necessary data:
Number of card S/N: 602 - V303 - 11SB141008285

MSI N660 TF 2GD5/OC black screen then frame rate drop

Had Radeon card, moved to this gtx 660, but now I get black screens randomly after a few minutes, at which point my framerate drops to unplayable. If I restart the game it is fine. Having problems with Borderlands 2, Crysis 2 and Dishonored. l4d2 and Walking dead seemed okay though.
Uninstalled AMD drivers, and ran driver sweep. I have the newest drivers from the nvidia website. My power supply is more than powerful enough. Doesn't seem to be any overheating. Searched online, but not finding any solutions.
Very frustrating, never run into graphics card problems like this before.
Any help would certainly be appreciated!

Try monitoring temps while playing with Afterburner OSD and report max temps: >>How to use MSI Afterburner<<
Max temp was 60 playing Crysis 2.
There were no spikes in any of the graphs.

Two other things:
1.) Are you able to test the card in another computer?
2.) If it works fine there, try updating the mainboard's bios.
No, I can't easily test it in another computer.

MSI N580GTX Lightning Extreme Edition (Black Screen / Reboot)

Hi everyone !
Here's my computer specs :
CPU: Intel I7 870 (2.93 Ghz)
MoBo: Micro ATX from my Dell XPS Studio 8000
Memory: 6Go DDR 667 Mhz
PSU: Corsair HX750(w)
Windows 7 Pro 64 Bits
My problem :
80% of my games (Crysis 1 & 2, Bulletstorm,...) & benchs (3DMark 11, MSI Kombustor, ...) crashes after few seconds. My graphic card goes off, black screen, and then my computer automatically reboot. I've tried another PSU, same pb, and my Corsair HX750 is new. So I wonder if the problem is from my graphics card or my (dell) motherboard ? But my config has the minimum required by MSI.
My temporary solution
After few tests with differents drivers, I've try to change the Core Voltage, no result... So I decided to downclock the GPU freqs.
In order to have something stable to 100%, and be able to run all the games and benchs, i've to downclock the GPU like :
Core Clock : 600 Mhz (Original : 772 Mhz)
Shader Clock : 1200 Mhz (Original : 1544 Mhz)
Memory Clock : 1730 Mhz (Original : 2004 Mhz)
Its a big loss frequency!
Hope a new bios will come out to fix the bug.

It's only unstable when i'm use the GPU (Games & benchs), not HD videos.
Most games/bench crashes with default clock @ 1.031v. I tried to overvolted & undervolted the GPU, but my tests were not conclusive. The only way i've found to have all games/benchs stable is to downclock the GPU as I explained in my first post.
Maybe i need a more accurate GPU voltage ? Is it important to change Memory & Aux voltage too ?
have you tested with 1050mV for core?

normally not, but depend what exactly is unstable
But it should work fine by default as is

Tecra A11-1EG - cannot access BIOS after setting supervisor password

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help ?
We have just started to put a supervisor password onto our Tecra A11 laptops so our pupils cannot set passwords on the hard drive etc.
To get into the BIOS and set a BIOS password, we press F2 as the machine starts.
We then go into the security option, then supervisor password.
Having entered the password we want to use twice, we press F10 to save etc.
The machine starts ok and goes in to windows without a hitch.
The problem we have now is that we cannot get back into the bios at all.
As the machine starts we press the F2 key as before but unlike previously the screen just remains blank and the 'Toshiba leading Innovation >>>' screen no longer appears.
If we keep our finger on the F" key or keep pressing it the laptop just restarts without ever getting to the BIOS screen where I assume we will get asked for the supervisor password we set earlier?
Is there another key we should be pressing as the laptop starts ?
I should add we have added a supervisor password for the BIOS security screen on three of our laptops and all three have the same issue.
Thanks
Steve

I think this should be useful for you:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0B032D0000R01.htm
In some cases you need to press the "INS" key while Toshiba logo appears.
Then a prompt for the Supervisor Password would appear and if the password is certified then the BIOS could be entered by pressing the "F2" key.
