MSI H61M-E23 (B3) bios not updating ....

Hi,
The board was working fine, it had an old bios, so I when to MSI website to download an up to date bios.
H61M-E23(B3) MS-7680 ver 2.11 (info on the board)
xxx.msi.com / support / mb / H61ME23_B3.html#down-bios
the bios I found on msi site was ver 12.3 @ 2013-01-10, it was an executable file!
(how can I extract the BIOS ROM file from this?)
Anyway I was running win8 x32, I close all programs that was running, then started the bios upgrade, after a few seconds windows started to restart, then I got this message about the BIOS NOT COMPLETED UPGRADE, please insert bios floppy disk or usb.
I then downloaded the last bios file that had a ROM file in he zip file from MSI website "7680vAE.zip"
ver 10.E @ 2012-02-16
I extracted the files to the root of my 2GB USB, then plug it in, restarted my pc, and go a message:
"Updating BIOS ......... file not found"
Copy out the ROM file "E7680IMS.AE0" to a FAT32 formatted 2GB USB stick,
I then copy that file and rename it to "E7680IMS.ROM", then Copy it again and rename it to "AMIBOOT.ROM"
With all 3 files on the root of my usb, I put it in one of the 4 use slot on the back of the motherboard, I use the one below the PS/2 plug.
I am still getting that message, about file not found.
(What file is it looking for?, as in the file name & extension)
I also tried the Ctrl + Home, a few times you would see a 2 letter code on the bottom-right corner of the screen, B4/B2 & A2
Now I am getting the message:
"BIOS update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive and reset system."
but it don't not say what file name and extension to name my bios to get it to load or replace the corrupt one.
Can someone Help ME ?

OK, Thanks.
I formatted my 2GB USB stick, then extracted the C3.rar file to the USB
the file name was EIVB.BIN put it in my computer and the screen, when from B4, to A2 then it started to update the bios.
After it reach 100% it restarted my computer now I am not getting anything from it,
no display, no keyboard light, no mouse light.
but the pc, turn on like nothing is wrong, no beeps.
Was that recovery BIOS for the H61M-E23?
How can i recover from this?
Can I do an AMIBOOT.ROM or AMIBOOT.BIN or AMIBIOS.BIN/ROM ?
Can i use an old bios for this board say 7680vAE and rename the .AE0 file to EIVB.BIN and recover this board ?
Please Help

Z68A GD-65 Bios Not Updating

Hi,
I downloaded the latest BIOS update here from the forums (7681vP8) and have my USB prepared using method 1. When it runs the flash it says halting for about 5 seconds and says the bios is being flashed. Then there is a short animation and it says that it's complete and asks to restart. But when I restart the BIOS hasn't changed. According to MSI Control Center I still have V23.2 and when booting up it's still the same version.
I tried looking for solutions and there was something about making sure Boot Sector Protection" is Disabled... but I can't find that option anywhere in the BIOS.
Now i'm stuck and don't know what to do. I did find another thread with the same problem but Svet solved the problem via PM!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Ah that worked. I don't think I was clearing the CMOS correctly. I flashed it again using that BIOS update, then removed the battery etc... and it's now updated.
Thanks for all the help and thanks to PirateDog for the help in the other thread!

Satellite L40-13G: Bios not updating on Vista SP1

I have a Satellite L40 13G and the latest Bios update refuses to update.
I'm trying to update my BIOS because the laptop freezes randomly at times and I have "graphics" issues where games lag where there's any form of an explosion such as gunfire or a bomb.
There are no instructions, not in the exe and definitely not on screen. If I didn't know how to flash a BIOS I would definitely not know to choose the .bin BIOS file in the directory between all the DLL files.
Thank you
Yahweh.

The reason why your laptop keeps frozen is because there is a bug in the current graphic driver on your computer. If I am not wrong, you may have blue screen of death at the start up occasionally.
There is one way to solve the problem is to update the bios and I hope bios for L40 already updated the graphic bios (VBIOS) (I dont have L40 so I am not sure about this). However, be careful when you update the bios as it is quite dangerous and may kill your laptop.
If you have problems with the graphic/game, please follow the instruction given in: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=33432&tstart=15 (both first and second post). Try this one before you try to update your bios.
When you download the graphic driver from intel, you may receive the message that the driver is not suitable for your system. Don't worry. Just extract the driver package you download from Intel somewhere on the harddrive, Go to Device manager, browse to the extracted folder to update the driver manually. After it finishes, run the Intel Package again to complete the process
Good luck.

If you keep back to BIOS when secure boot is disabled, it means no bootable device was found. Have you followed part 1 in below article and created a bootable device?
http://www.msi.com/files/pdf/win8_UEFI_BIOS_Update_auto_en.pdf
This link is from MSI. No worry!
oh right i forgot to tell you
i didn't use this pdf i used the other one so i just downloaded the UEFI 717 and put it in the removable ... then updated etc.

MSI H61M-P23 (B3) - Failed BIOS Update, PC Won't Boot

I attempted to update the BIOS on my MSI H61M-P23 motherboard and the update failed. Attempted to reboot the PC and no longer have access to the BIOS and the PC does not boot. Additionally, there are two short beeps in POST. Any suggestions on resolving this issue?

I don't recall what the old BIOS version was, but whatever the newest version that's available for download from MSI is what I attempted to flash. I ran the BIOS update in Windows and my PC froze for over an hour and wouldn't respond, so I powered it down and went to power it back up and now I get a blank screen and two beeps in POST.
which version exactly you tried to update?

H67MS-E23 (B3) after BIOS flash appears as H61M-E23

Hello,
I have a H67MS-E23 (B3) board for several months and it's working fine. I was updating it's BIOS regulary and it was all fine, until the last version 10.E which can be downloaded here:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H67MS-E23--B3-.html
This version is also working fine in terms of speed and stability, but since the update, the board now wrongly identifies itself as "MSI H61M-E23 (MS-7680)" in each and every program (CPU-z, AIDA 64 etc).
The included Readme states this is a joint BIOS for several motherboards (including mine), but this wrong identification might be a bug. Please fix it in the next BIOS release.

This is not really a problem. The H67MS-E23 (B3) and the H61M-E23 (B3) mainboards have the exact same UEFI/BIOS Versions. The actual marketing name of the mainboard (H67MS-E23 vs. H61M-E23) is just an entry in some system information database, which tools like CPU-Z, AIDA 64 etc. can read out an display. It is of no functional relevance whatsoever. It is a merely cosmetical issue.
I am sure you will find no trace of "H61" in device manager.

Installing a HD 7870 XT 2GB GDDR5 with Boost graphics card on a MSI H61M-P31 G3

Hi,
I have a MSI H61M-P31 (G3) motherboard in my PC and I recently purchased a HD 7870 XT 2GB GDDR5 with Boost graphics card. Before purchasing as far as I could tell the graphics card was compatible with the motherboard. However, what seems to be a similar issue with a lot of people installing new graphics cards is that when I put it in my PC and boot it up the monitor doesn't recieve any signal from it and stays blank. I have installed the drivers, including the optional ones, and they don't compete with my old graphics card drivers because they are the same AMD Catalyst Control Centre. I have trawled the internet and tried numerous things but nothing has worked. Is there a fix or are the componenets just not compatible?
Thanks in advance.

2.54 ? is this some beta or? can you double check it and list the full BIOS ID?
look for it in bios setup system info

MSI H61M-E33(B3) updating bios.........file not found

Hi,
I tried to update the bios MSI H61M-E33(B3) from 10.D to 12.2. After rebooting, i got the message "BIOS Update: ... file not found".
There is something wrong, what could it be?
The following files are on an usb-Stick:
- 7680vC2.exe (Windows-Installer)
- EIVB.bin (MD5: 55a1af369b1db5b180a432a8fa5c7178 )
- IM9T318R (empty directory)
If the stick is missing, i got the message that the bios-update is not finished yet.

If that doesn't work:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Download the attached archive to your desktop(of any computer)
Install the forum update tool
Use option 1 of the tool and point it at the entire archive.
It will prepare the flash tool to flash, I am not sure if you are getting far enough to use this, perhap try a full cmos clear as well.
If none of these solutions will work, you will need that spi programmer.

MSI H61M-P21 (B3) - Won't start, how can I update the BIOS?

Hello Everyone!
I just bought an MSI H61M-P21 (B3) Motherboard along with Intel Celeron G530 Sandy Bridge (2.4 GHz) and 1 DIMM of 4GB DDR3 1600 KingMax. I use NJOY 500W true power as power supply. The system starts but no image, no beep code, nothing... Testet with another DIMM of RAM (4GB DDR3 1333 KingMax), but no luck. Tested with another power supply (450w true power), no luck again. I have tested the motherboard out of case, put on an antistatic surface, no luck... Reset CMOS, same situation: no image, no beepcodes... On the Main BIOS Chip of the motherboard is a little sticker on which is written "E7680IMSH30" - i guess that the motherboard comes 'shipped' with 7680vH3 BIOS.
Is there a possibility to update the bios without replacing the CPU or send the board to RMA? I'm almost sure that the problem is around here...
Thanks in advance! Any answer is welcome!
P.S.: I appologise for my bad english.

Good morning.
I've tested the motherboard this weekend with another DIMM of 4GB DDR3 1333, ThermalTake PSU (500W, i don't remember the model) and Core i3-2120 CPU - those components were taken from another IDENTICAL motherboard H61M-P21 (B3) with same version of BIOS. Didn't worked... I have tested my Celeron CPU G530 on the functional H61M-P21 (B3) and it's working...
So, there is a problem with my mainboard, i will send it to warranty.
Thanks a lot. Have a nice day!

Msi z97 gaming 5 bios update help

Hello I recently purchased the msi z97 gaming 5 motherboard. It was working fine it came with bios version 1.0 and I wanted to update it. I downloaded the latest 1.5 bios from msi website copied to usb flash drive and flashed it using mflash. Computer powers on but black screen wont do nothing. I cleared cmos and battery and still nothing so I am pretty sure its bricked. I am going to store to exchange it for another one but I want to be able to safely update the bios without bricking again. I usually dont update bios unless needed but i need at least 1.2 bios to fully support the devils canyon cpu. Can someone please point me in the right direction? I read about the usb flashing tool in forum but also read that bios+me need to be flashed and I don't know if that program is up to date and will flash both files? I really appreciate it if someone helped thanks in advance.

Also does anyone know if it is dangerous to update the bios with a 4690k devils canyon cpu since it is not officially supported until 1.2? Is that why my first bios flash was bricked? I would hate to go and borrow another cpu just to update the bios but if I have to I will. Sorry for all the questions but I need to get my bios updated and I will not update it until I am sure of all these things. Thanks to anyone who answers these questions.

MSI VGA Bios Not available

I ran Sandra last night to pull up sys info. The MSI 9800GT BIO was written in the year 2000. I also know the next comment will be,> what do you think a bios does and why should it be update.
It should be updated to unlock parameters that were not taken into considerations ten years ago.
I have never seen Sandra miss read anything, it has always been on the money, and very conservative in its reply.
Where is the updated BIO for MSI Graphic accelerations?

Where is the updated BIO for MSI Graphic accelerations?
There is no such, the BIOS is not a driver and shall be not updated when everything is working fine.
If need it, it can be provided by MSI Tech.

That VGA is not 10 years old I fail to see how VBIOS can be 10 years old in such case.

"BIOS ME update....file not found " since a P67A-GD65 bios update failed

Hi everyone,
I've decided to post this little message after looking for a solution over the web and over the MSI forum because I've got a problem since the BIOS update of my P67A-GD65 MB.
I've followed the update process for the 4.32 BIOS using an USB key, the update started but did not continue after reboot, and since My PC is out of order
The "BIOS ME update....file not found " message is displayed after lots of booting tries, using plenty of methods.
I've looked and tried all the techniques I could find over the web, I've tried :
-PC with and without SATA drives connected
-the last 4 versions of the bios found on-line, even the original version of my MB before updating (1.19)
-4 different usb keys (from 128 Mb to 4 GB)
-all front and back usb ports
Each time, on each usb key, there were several bios versions, even one renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM for testing the recovery method.
I've also tried to make the keys bootable by using the “MSIHQ USB Bootable” tool with the 1.19 bios (after the boot fix), the usb key appears in the F11 boot menu but when I select it, the PC boots but still shows me the "BIOS ME update....file not found " message.
I've also tried a clear CMOS with several power off.
I've also tried to burn a CD containing only a AMIBOOT.ROM file, and to boot on it, but same problem occurs.
In brief, it seems that my PC does not recognize my Key's content, whatever it is.
I've you got an idea to help me ?
Last precision, the update process that failed was using the 4.3 bios version, but my CPU is a not an IvyBridge .
thanks for your help

HI
I've tried with your file , that's better but not solved
the "BIOS ME update....file not found" has gone but my bios is still inacessible.
I put the usb key (with the decompressed file) and the PC starts, displays the MSI boot logo, and then shows a message for hitting F1 or F2 bla bla bla...
Whatever the key that has been hit (F1 or F2, and only the first time), the pc boots again and again after displaying the boot logo, followed by a 30 seconds black screen.
If I remove the key, I've got a message that says I have to put a key on an usb port, and when I put back the usb key , the PC starts to boot again and again.
Once again , I'm stuck.
thanks for your help
