MSI Liveupdate3 Intel INF Update

As a new user, I will do my best to avoid revealing that I, in fact, know very little about PC's, and even less about motherboards. Unfortunately for me, I recently decided to use MSI's Liveupdate3, and pretty much just downloaded and installed everything it had selected, being the amateur moron that I am. This meant that I flashed the bios, and also downloaded and installed the Intel INF update under "live driver" that is version 5.00.1012. Everything seems to be working fine (thank god, because after reading these forums I will never ever again flash my bios), except that now during boot up I get an odd "err" noise right after a beep. A techie friend of mine didn't recognize the noise, nor did he feel that it was a problem. However, the other change my system experienced after flashing the bios and the inf update was that it now thinks I am running a dual proc pc; which I am not (I will list specs at the bottom). I noticed this by looking in the "device manager" area. Uninstalling one of the procs doesn't seem to help; when I boot up the 2nd is right back there. Under the system information tab it also shows that there is two procs. Also, (I hope I am saying this in a way you can understand due to my limited knowledge) under the system information tool, it seems like there is another of all the devices listed. (I wish I could paste my entire system information printout here). My techie friend says that there seems to be a lot of resource sharing going on with copies of devices that obviously don't excist. At first I was convinced that this all had to do with my flashing to the latest bios, but I think that it has to do with the Intel INF update. My techie friend says that he has a hunch that if I installed it again I would see three of everything. I would really like to get my PC back to thinking that it only has one proc and isn't sharing all these non excistent devices, and then uninstall msi liveupdate and forget I was ever such an idiot. I would really appreciate any kind of input; here or at my e-mail [email protected]
Thank you for your time.

In device manager it lists that I have 3 mice (two HID-Compliant one PS/2 Compatabile), when I only have two; one wireless, one wired. Under "Universal Serial Bus Controllers" it lists USB Root Hub 5 times. Under "Human Interface Devices" it lists USB Human Interface Device 3 times. The USB devices I have connected currently are a gamepad and the receiver for my wireless logitech keyboard/mouse. Under "Monitors" it lists my Viewsonic g220fb, but then "default monitor" 3 times. The only other display I have attached is a tv connected to the video out on my geforce 5600 Ultra. Also, under the "Computer" tab it lists "ACPI Multiprocessor PC", which it should because of the Hyper Threading?
That is the double listings under device manager, which I see as less of a problem. What seemed more vexing to my techie friend was what was listed under the system information tool.
Using the system information tool, this what I am seeing under "hardware resources". (I hope this is readable =(. it looks better in the text doc).

MSI GT60 ONC CPU update

Hello, now i have i5 3210 but my friend gave me an i7 3610QM from his crashed notebook and i'm trying to install it but there is a problem and i dont know if it CPU is broken or i need to do some software upgrades (BIOS, Firmware) on my laptop.
CPU in BIOS is showing properly (model, num of cores etc...) but loading is ending on bios, i see only MSI logo and nothing else (i see one flash of hdd led and that's all). Has anybody got idea?

Try resetting the BIOS to factory defaults and see if that changes anything, you may also need to have your BIOS unlocked to be able to use that chip, beyond that it's really a shot in the dark if it works or not.
BTW, if you do decide to go to Svet and have the BIOS unlocked (if it can be done that is) make sure you switch back to the old CPU and your stable before and after the unlock before switching back to the new chip.
I would assume your half way there since the BIOS is seeing it, maybe Windows is not wanting to work with it, try repairing Windows if you can as you may have missed with your Windows Activation.

MSI Gt60 2OD black screen after bios update

I decided to update the bios for my msi gt60 2OD gamer notebook. Downloaded the AHCI bios file from msi notebook site then flashed the bios inside Windows 8 x64 using a bios flasher DOS tool that came inside the folder of the bios downloaded from msi site. The flash done ok in windows 8, the DOS flashing tool showed done ok in all steps of the flashing I restarted the notebook hit Del enter the bios press F9 for optimal settings then chose exit saving changes then restarted the notebook. After the restart my notebook olny shows black screen. Does not boot, does not show msi logo and i am not able to enter the bios hitting DEL. The notebook turns on with all lights when i press the power button but olny show black screen. Help me to fix and recover my notebook

I went to this page
MSI Global GT60 2OD
I did download the file w8_E16F4IMS.50E.zip AHCI Bios then flashed the bios file using the flash utility afuwinx64.exe provided in the folder. I typed at the DOS command window inside windows 8 x64 the command afuwinx64.exe E16F4IMS50E after that the fans of notebook made noise and at the DOS window showed OK DONE for all steps of flashing. Then i shut down windows 8 . Power the notebook hit del enter the New flashed bios hit f9 for optimal settings then save changes and restart. After the restart black screen. What did i made wrong?
You need to use included "FLASHWIN.BAT" [which contain all required parameters] to flash it,
else your notebook will be bricked.

MSI GT60 2PC Dominator BIOS Update RAID0 problem

HI THERE , this is my first topic in msi forum and I hope you can solve my problem
I have the MSI GT60 2PC Dominator, my laptop came with FreeDOS with E16F4IMS.50Y non raid0 bios version (installed only one msata 128Gb), One day i upgraded my Laptop, I installed two more msata 128Gb. Now 384Gb Raid0 hard disk and i installed windows 8.1 64bit (Working UEFI mode).
I flashed the bios yesterday to the E16F4IMS.515 which is the latest one but it seems that it doesn't support the RAID0, i didn't care about that, i installed windows 8 but everyday i'm getting several problems with GPU and that blue screen and its really annoying.
So i tried to upgrade E16F4IMS.715 , But Flash_BIOS_by_UEFI_BIOS_Setup_Utility_e n.pdf this method not supported my laptop (Automatically restart after select bios file.), And i tried too EFI Shell mode bios update. But there is no Afuefix64.edi and FLASH.NSH files in New bios zip file. It has only E16F4IMS.715 file.
Now my question is How can i flash the bios to E16F4IMS.715?
Sorry for my bad English and i thanks for your corporation.

Hello and welcome to the forum!
Sadly there is only 1 person that is able to help you with flashing procedure, but also directing you to the right BIOS file, and it's Svet. You might have to wait a little bit, as you may already know, it's users to users forum, and we come up when we can and if we actually want to.
What way did you flash the BIOS?
I used EFI BIOS utility method. I chose BIOS file and when i click OK button , it starts normally after 20-30sec. it doesn't update bios. How ever it works on E16F4IMS.515 (Non-RAID) bios updated successfully. But not working E16F4IMS.715 (RAID0) bios.

MSI GT60 with Vertex 4 SSD - Freezing, won't load Windows only in SATA III port

Hello,
New to the world of SSD's and trying to get my Vertex 4 to be able to operate at 6 Gb/s. I know that in my MSI GT60 that it has to be in port 1 because that is where the SATA III controller is, port 4 is just a SATA II. I was able to update the Vertex 4 to firmware version 1.5 and when it is plugged into port 4, no issues at all. It will run and take anything i throw it while running at 3 Gb/s in SATA II mode. My port 1 currently houses a 500gb Western Digital Scorpio drive.
As soon as i throw the Vertex 4 in port 1, issues arise. Sometimes i get a disk read error right after bios, sometimes it just freezes. On the latest Intel RST for my board, 11.2.0.1006 it can actually boot on occasion but 90% of the time freezes but still only reads 3 Gb/s when it does boot. It does the same thing in version 11.1.0.1006 and any older RST it just freezes or says disk read error and never boots.
I have my bios set to AHCI mode and i have tried the Vertex 4 by itself and also with the WD 500gb in the other port. When i switch back to Vertex 4 in port 4 and WD in port 1, no issues at all. Just trying to see if this is a known issue or anything else i can look at. I made sure to break the RAID 0 and it was a clean install of windows 7 to the drive.
Running on bios E16F3IMS.10M. The Vertex 4 is at its latest firmware as well. I do have one PCI device i can't identify in Windows and thinking it might be the issue but can't narrow it down. I have the Intel RST installed.
I also posted this on the OCZ forum and did their tips as well.
Thanks!

MSI GT60 0ND 675M Throttling Problem (NEED HELP)

Hello MSI Forum
I have 2 year old MSI GT60 0ND with Intel i7-3630QM and Nvidia GTX 675M with 2GB GDDR5 memory.
My problem is focused to all games. After few minutes playing game fps starts to drop frequently under 30 fps.
But after few seconds it comes back to normal state.
I have cleaned fan from dust and it doesnt have any effect. Also running fan on turbo mode doesnt have any noticable effect.
- Never updated bios
- Running Windows 8.1
- Always updating drivers.
- Intel speedstep is disabled, no effect.
I think its problem with CPU throttling but i cant find any thread to help with issue.
Anyone can help me?
Thx in advance!

Hi ijimma,
1. Does the problem happen recently? If so, then maybe some driver or system update has caused the problem.
2. Check the FAQ and see if turning off the HDD power saving function. (http://www.msi.com/faq/nb-977.html)
3. What's the current graphics driver version? (this msi tool helps to export all driver version and installed programs, so sharing the text file to us can let us know better about your system environment.)

MSI GT60 20C - All games stalling

Hi Everyone,
I bought my MSI GT60 20C in about sept. I only used it for work until now. I got StarCraft 2 HotS for Christmas, and started playing it.
My framerate is okay, but the laptop stalls like mad. Turning down the graphics settings don't help. Tried DOTA and Tactical Intervention. I get good FPS (200 FPS in TI), but I get stalls making the games unplayable.
Any suggestions?
I noticed there are windows 8.1 update instructions. MSI suggests to uninstall intel and nvidia drivers first. I didn't see these before, and am already running windows 8.1. I tried uninstalling and re-installing the 2 drivers and that did not help. Is it "too late?" Should I uninstall and re-install windows 8.1?
At this point, I can't even really use this machine to game.
Any help would be appreciated!!!

Can you please use CoreTemp and MSI Afterburner to check the temperatures of the CPU and GPU when you're playing the games and they stall?
It might also be worthwhile to use another program to log the speed of the CPU. MSI Afterburner can log the GPU.
I get the feeling you've got 1 of 2 possible problems.
Either:
1. CPU/GPU are getting too hot and throttling
2. CPU is downclocking for whatever reason, causing your frame rates to drop.
I'm thinking it's most likely #2. In which case I believe we'd just have to disable the turbo boost of the CPU and that tends to fix the issue.

MSI GT60 20J BSOD MEMORY Issue

Hello everyone,
I'm having some problems with my laptop lately, and I'd like some help from experts here if possible. I have bought this laptop MSI GT60 2OJ-097US 3 months ago, and along with it I also bought 4 memories Kingston 8GB 1600MHz DDR3L (PC3-12800) 1.35V Non-ECC CL11 SODIMM.
When my laptop arrived I immediately installed the 32 GB of memory, so I started using the new laptop with 32 GB memory since the beginning, and the first BSOD was a week after that. I didn't care much about it at the beginning, but a month ago these BSODs have becoming more frequent, like twice a week. I use this laptop everyday, I even use it for work.
Well, I see in BSOD this message "memory_management" so I decided to run a test using Windows memory diagnostic tool and it gave memory errors. A week ago, to isolate the problem and to find what was causing it, I run the test for each memory bank in the same slot, and run the test for each memory slot with the same memory bank, and everything passed the test. Finally, I run the test with all memory banks inserted and it passed the test this time, I did it again to be sure and it passed, so I assumed that changing memory positions maybe resolved the issue. However, today I got the same BSOD again, and the memory diagnostic tool resulted in memory errors.
I have read in some forums that I can try raising voltage +0.05 but I can't find the option in BIOS setup.
I've downloaded and installed CPU-Z but I don't have the knowledge to interpret it. I'm posting the screenshots here, so you can see if there is any problem. Please see screenshots below:
I have Windows Ultimate 7, I upgraded from Windows 7 Professional.
I would greatly appreciate if you can provide some advice to solve this problem.
Thanks

Hi chc, BIOS update seems to fix the problem, because it has been 4 days without any BSOD.
Before the update my laptop crashed at least once a day. I had updated the intel and nvidia drivers too, but it wasn't until I updated BIOS that BSOD stopped.
By the way, I purchased this laptop from Amazon and it came with a BIOS version from 2012.
Thanks

The gift box comes with Gaming headset, Gaming mouse, Gaming pad and Top Player Top Choice stamp tool. SteelSeries is really great and famous on gaming gear devices; MSI is also great on gaming notebooks, they are too professional to co-work with SteelSeries!
The SteelSeries KINZU gaming mice, 3200dpi/1600dpi, very accurate optical mouse for 3K resolution monitor.
Put the mouse on the mouse pad, with the fancy Dragon tattoo makes me feel I am ready to play games, Top Player Top Choice!
The SteelSeries SIBERIA V2 gaming mouse, this is high quality headset and customized version for MSI gaming notebooks with fancy MSI dragon tattoo!!
Take a look on the customized artwork, the dragon tattoo on the metal cover of both set, and the Dragon gaming logo in the headset as well, that makes this headset more gaming style and looks powerful!
This Gaming headset belongs to MSI notebook accessories! The sound quality is really good, detail is clear on mid and high frequency, subwoofer is powerful and really suitable for gaming, even you wear for hours still feel comfortable and stable, overall quality makes me feel it’s over $150 value!
Very special stamp tool, I would like to put chocolate on this and stamp on the Dragon Gaming Cake!!
Let’s start to reveal the first lady, no, the real steel of GT60 Dominator Pro!!
Look at the surface of the design, Dragon logo with light from darkness on the cover, and the metallic material on top cover and palm rest side, which makes the GT60 Dominator Pro looks high quality and gaming style.
Take a look on the cover side, the Dragon Gaming Logo is really fancy and stylish with backlit. Brushed metal design makes the cover looks high quality and solid.
Sound by Dynaudio speaker system, the best famous mobile sound system on this top level GT60 Dominator Pro gaming notebook is really amazing, great on sound detail and real good acoustic of human vocal and great sound stage presents!
We put all the accessories together and boot up to check further detail on GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS version! The display quality is vivid.
Let’s take a look on the detail spec., 384GB SSD Super RAID, Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, top level GTX880M 8GB GDDR5 graphics, 32GB RAM. It’s all top level and could use for 3 more years of ultra-quality games!
When first time to use MSI gaming notebooks, you will feel amazing about the SteelSeries keyboard is really good typing feeling and solid based. It comes with multi-color backlit and move the windows key to right side, that really professional design as a gaming notebook keyboard, and the only one with real gaming design.
Take a look in the SteelSeries Engine, the exclusive gaming software only for MSI gaming notebooks. This macro keys software built in Keypress macro, Text macro, 1 key launch program and Disable key function, besides F1~F12, all other keys could be used for macros setup, and 4 layers of keyboards o setup 4 sets of macros with 4 sets of different backlit combinations, so this is really a great software for smarter and stylish gaming experience.
With CPU-Z tool to check, the upgraded Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, TDP 47W, 4 Cores 8 Threads is really great performance, CPU Boost could up to 3.5~3.7GHz.
Because of Core i7 4800MQ and GTX880M, the 3D benchmarks comes with breakthrough scores than ever on the notebook platform, 3D Mark Fire Strike: P5351 pts.
The GT60 Dominator Pro on 3D Mark 11 gains P8461 pts, it’s whole new level of the gaming notebooks, and It’s over 15% faster than GTX780M!
The 3D Mark Vantage boost up to P33115 scores, it’s 14% faster than GTX780M!
Then we check on other software of DirectX11 3D performance, the Heaven Benchmark is world’s 1st software tool to test DirectX11 effects, this time we use Heaven Benchmark version 3.0 to test.
Set the Tessellation on normal to enable DirectX11 effects and run Benchmark, the Full HD resolution could get 78.2 FPS(Frames Per Second) high score result.
Since this GT60 is 3K IPS panel edition, of course we have to try 3K resolution, you could see that the result block is smaller at 2880x1620 resolution, the result is 42.7 FPS with same setup, so we could say that 3K resolution will reduce over 45% of the FPS rate in this test, but GTX880M is too powerful, so still over 40FPS, and most games we need to get over 30 FPS to play and feel smoother, at least 20 FPS to play a game, if lower than 20 FPS, that will makes people feel lag obviously and feel dizzy easily.
Since we tried some benchmark, of course we have to try at least a famous game to the real world experience. Battlefield 4, the biggest FPS game title since end of 2013, is one of the heaviest loading games on PC platform.
First we made Battlefield 4 detail at 1920x1080 with Ultra Graphics Quality setup.
The gaming frames is 46 FPS, really smooth and around 20% faster than GTX780M.
Once we tune up the resolution to 2880x1620, the FPS drops a lot because the Ultra mode also set 4xMSAA (Anti-Aliasing), that will impact the performance a lot in higher resolution, also make graphics memory demand around 3GB~4GB, seems the 8GB GDDR5 with GTX880M is prepared for upcoming games with such as 3K or even higher resolutions!
We could see it’s about 24~28 FPS under 3K resolution with Ultra Graphics Quality, most time it will reduce over 40% FPS rate of the gaming performance.
Seems to set the Battlefield 4 with “High” graphics quality on 2880x1620 resolution is more suitable to play the game smoother in every theme.
It’s about 42 FPS, close to the 1920x1080 Ultra graphics quality. So if we want to play heavy loading games at 2880x1620 resolution, set to High graphics quality setup is a good option for 3K gaming!
After these 3D and gaming tests, let’s take a look on the temperature of the cooling system. The room temperature is 25 degree C, the temperature of fan out part is 71.2 degree C, it’s not a surprise because of GTX880M and Core i7 4800MQ, even it’s a bit lower than most gaming notebooks with this 2 combinations. The palm rest and keyboard side is 30.6 degree C, it’s really cool for users to hands on.
After the fabulous experience of great 3D performance, let’s take a look on the benefits of “Super RAID 2”, normal 2.5” HDD is about 80~100MB/s, single SSD is about 400~550MB/s, BUT, GT60 Dominator Pro boost over 1536MB/s and average is 1477MB/s, that’s 15x faster than single HDD, almost 3x faster than single SSD.
If we check on the AS SSD Benchmark tests, you could see more detail of the storage access performance is amazing, the Sequential read is 1116.76MB/s, write is 786.79MB/s. 4K-64Thrd read is 665.09MB/s, write is 461.18MB/s, it’s ultra fast!
The GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition comes with Killer Doubleshot LAN and WiFi, it provides faster response time of gaming experience, when you at different LAN/WiFi environment, Killer software will ask you to make an internet speed test, this will fine tune your LAN/WiFi for smoother and faster online experience.
MSI also got a new software tool called “Dragon Gaming Center”, this tool is also good for hardware monitor and utility launch tool. Also could show the status of Hybrid Power enable or disable.
The ultimate weapon for enthusiast gamers:
The GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS version is extremely powerful, it comes with most of the features that a great gaming notebook could have, 3K IPS panel is really great effect of vision quality, SteelSeries keyboard with SSE is amazing for gamers to play their games smarter, Sound By Dybaudio present really good detail sound quality, Killer Doubleshot is faster for online gaming, of course the GTX880M is awesome for gamer to play Full HD even 3K resolution games, the backlit of Dragon logo and keyboard is really beautiful.
Conclusion:
The overall score I will give this GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition with Super Pack is 95 out of 100, this is really great machine for any hard core gaming or power user usage, I would recommend any one to must-have this notebook if it’s affordable for you!!

Ok either you work for MSI or you changed the settings in 3dmark11. I only scored around 5K with my GT60 2PE 3k. Any idea why I'm scoring 3k below you? Laptop was plugged in btw. Also how can you enter bios settings with this laptop? I suspect that maybe the hybrid gpu thing is affecting my score, and the Pc is probably not fully utilizing the GTX 880M, maybe in bios I can disable the integrated CPU's video card??? Please let me know. Thanks.

MSI GT60

@Svet
Can you unlock cpu multiplier, memory tweaks,cpu throttling,PPU Dsable etc with this latest bios from msi? And also can you update the OROM to the latest ver?
http://www.msi.com/service/download/bios-18654.html
The other options i mentioned is found on this link
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164130.0
But Wait... does the bios matter between MSI GT60-onc vs MSI GT60-one? Because when i upgraded my laptop to 680M. In bios it shows MSI GT60-ONE. SO the link above is for MSI GT60-ONE version.

MSI GT60-75X485FD questions

Hi,
I got a MSI GT60-75X485FD Notebook! It has 16F3EMS1.10U BIOS and 16F3EMS1.414 EC..
Is it possible to Flash UEFI BIOS? It was delivered with FreeDOS.. And can you mod BIOS and EC Firmware?
Thanks in advance and regards
glockmane

BIOS ID is not correct one
If you mean to Win7 BIOS, nope.
depend, what kind of mods?
1) Sorry, BIOS ID is 16F3IMS1.10U!
2) I mean, I got Windows 7 BIOS and want to Switch to Windows 8 UEFI BIOS, I guess it doesn't work an may brick my Notebook..
3) Ok Forget EC for now, is it right, that modding EC Firmware is for custom fan profiles? I think I'll try RWEverything first..
So in conclusion, can you provide me a BIOS with hidden options unlocked? Thank you
Edit:
Sorry, if this is the wrong place, but I did further investigation regarding my fan problem.. In Windows (8.1) the fan is very loud (a few minutes after boot) while CPU usage is near 0! Only Thing I did, was take out the GTX 675MX so only Intel HD Graphics is used! I think it gets wrong info from GPU Fan Profile and so fan is allways at a high Level.. I tried Read Write Everything and the fan value is allways switching between 66 and 67, tried entering another value but it instantly Switches back to 66.. Is there a Special way Setting the value? I right clicked on it, "edit", and changed the value..

MSI GT60 0NE-404US all games crash after 10 minutes of play?

Hi I've just recently purchased a MSI GT60 0NE-404US with gtx680m 4g video card, i7 3630m CPU and 12g of ram. I took it home and ran a few games on it, all of them after basically 10 minutes the game will crash and something along the lines of "the graphic driver has crashed and restarted". I've tried updating my video driver to the latest and rerolled to older drivers, none of that worked. I've used hardware monitor and tried to see the GPU temperature, they seem to be running at 50-60 degrees celsius if I turn the turbo fan on. I've tried running some benchmarking software to test out the stability of the 3d graphics but the same problem occurs. it looks like it's a drivers problem but I've tried all types of drivers and none of them worked.
Does anybody have any similar issues? This is a brandnew laptop and things like this shouldn't happen.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Nichrome gives some good advice. I'd follow his steps first but...
I kinda get the feeling that your video card is not any good and it's what is causing the issues. The fact that you've tried a few different driver revisions and it's crashing doing anything stressful seems to indicate that as well.
Most likely you'll need to contact MSI to do an RMA in the end.

CONSIDER UPGRADING HARD DISK OF MSI GT60-0NC

I had bought my new MSI GT60-0NC recently in Malaysia. My com is equipped with 750GB 7200rpm hdd, probably sata maybe.
So far I am satisfied and indeed quite impressed with its performance. Who knows maybe after few years my specs will soon outdated and cant cope with my requirements for performance?
I would like to seek for some guidance for upgrading hdd to other type of hard disk drives like ssd or raid-II.
Is any kind of SSD hard drive can be installed on the laptop? Any brand recommendations for ssd or hybrid hard disk drives?
Thanks a lot.

It's really hit or miss with most SSD's for some reason.
I've seen a few people who got Samsung 840 non-PRO/PRO drives have problems, and some who had no problems.
Personally, I've got the super raid adapter and have 2 x Mushkin Atlas Deluxe mSATA 240GB drives in my laptop, and it work great.
I've had a few people with Intel 520 based drives have problems as well.
Personally, I would find what you want and try it out. If it doesn't work, you may have to return it though. Everything SHOULD work, but it's not always the case unfortunately.

MSI GT60 Intel FW update or recover
