Msi h61mu-e35-b3 sata problem

There are times that at system boot, my sata devices such as hdd and odd is not detected by the bios therefore it will not boot to windows then go directly to bios setup.
What I usually do is I connect the devices to other sata ports or tried to change sata cable but still it does not work. The fix I only see is to set to load optimized defaults in bios then boot the system repeatedly.
By the way all settings in the bios is always set to default. But what seems to be the problem?

Try a different drive, see if it has the same problem or not.

All RMA should be handled by the re-seller, you should contact them for specifics in your area.

MSI K8T Neo2 slow SATA problem

Hello members,
I do have a MSI K8T Neo2 mainboard with Via chipset. The board supports SATA 150. AFAIK this means it should support transfer rates up to 150 MB/s.
Now Ive bought a SATA3 SSD with over 500 MB/s. Because SATA 3 is downcompatible to SATA 1 its working so far.
The only problem is I expected 150MB/s but I do only get about 115 MB/s with benchmark programs like HD Tune and AS SSD Benchmark in sequential read.
I do have the latest drivers and bios updates but it seems MSI SATA controllers is very slow.
Can anyone help me getting it faster?

Thank you.
Does this mean in praxis I dont get 150 MB/s ?
Is this general or only MSI specific?

MSI 6565 GNB Max SATA problem

Hi I have just picked up a 6565 Gnb Max board, P4 2.4 ,533FSB MAxtor 120 Gb SATA HDD, Asus FX5200 Card, 1 gig Twinmos 266 DDR,
I cannot get the mobo to recognise the SATA HDD, there is nothing in the bios where I can turn on the SATA controller
(Integrated Peripherals) can anybody help?

I'm having the same problems.
GNB-Max board, Seagate 120GB SATA and Seagate 60GB PATA w/ SATA adaptor.
Regardless of how I connect the drive(s) to the Promise controller, they are not recognised. I've tried the 120GB on it's own on both SATA connectors, the 60GB on it's own and paired on the SATA connectors, and the 60GB on it's own on the PATA (IDE3) connector. At no point in time does the Promise controller dialogue even display during boot, so I can not configure the drive(s). I've tried the 60GB as master, slave and cable select in all scenarios.
The BIOS shows SATA enabled, and I've upgraded to the latest (2.30) BIOS, as well as trying older (2.0 & 2.1) BIOS revisions. All show the same symptoms.
Can anyone shed any light on how you get the Promise controller dialogue to show, or how to overcome the problem? I'd really like to get the 120GB drive working as my boot drive so I can reuse the current PATA drives elsewhere.

MSI H61MU-E35, Warning the Bios V 10.4 is buggy

Windows 7 wont be start with an intel 2500k. (100*102 for current cpu-frequency ??? not bad, but wont start !!!)

100*102 Mhz
= 10200 MHz --> Never ever. If you can see that in UEFI Setup, you automatically know that this is not the actual setting. This is either cosmetical problem or a CMOS Problem.
... and still, you haven't provided any system specifications, said nothing about clearing CMOS or not, have not given any contextual information (which UEFI Version were you using before? Did you have the same problem with it?) etc.

H61MU-E35(B3) - Beeps Code issue

Hello Everybody!
I've got a problem with my MSi H61MU-E35(B3) Motherboard. The board has been purchased in June 2011 and in the beginning it seemed not giving any problems.
Now, i've got that problem: if i keep my system off about more than 4 or 5 days, the speaker beeps 3 times shortly. I can solve this issue only changing some options like unplug and replug SATA devices or removing and reinstalling CPU or RAM, otherwise clearing CMOS.
How could i solve this issue? This system isn't mine and the owner couldn't always bring me it back for reset.
Thanks for help!

When you say 'off' do you mean powered off or in a standby/hibernate mode?
When i powered on the system, it was in hibernate mode. Could it cause this issue?
He also tells me that when he left it off, he unplugged the AC Power from the PSU.

H61MU-E35 (B3) Updating BIOS....File Not Found Error

I have MSI H61MU-E35 (B3) Motherboard with Intel i3 CPU.
I downloaded latest BIOS File 7680vC3.zip (on web page it's says Version: 12.3 from -> -www.msi.com/support/mb/H61MUE35_B3.html#down-bios
Using Windows XP OS From 7680vC3.zip => Extracted E7680vC3.exe => Placed on USB Drive (I did not format USB Pendrive, and used by just making it empty by deleting files) ==> Ran this exe file on the computer where this motherboard is....
Inside Windows XP, when BIOS Update process started, In a green window, it shown me current BIOS old version and New Version side by side. (I did not given much attention to notedown from which number to which number it's updating).
In Windows XP after BIOS Process completed, it restarted computer (I kept USB File as it in the computer as I had read that, I have to keep USB in computer after restart).
When computer restarted...nothing came on the screen and just blank screen for long time and on the right side on screen bottom corner only letter like: A2 stayed for long long time. I waited for 15 minutes but nothing was happening except blank screen...
So, I restarted computer....and kept USB as it is in the computer....but Nothing comes on the screen...
After I concluded that, something is wrong, to resolve the issue...
--- What Try and Experiments I have done ----------------------------------------------------------------
(1) I placed Restarted computer without USB: and Message comes on the screen is:
BIOS Update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive and reset system.
(2) I refered some forums, and also contacted MSI Support. As suggested, I formatted USB Drive with FAT32 and placed E7680IMS.C30 file (only one file) on USB placed in computer and started computer.. Now Message is coming:
Updating BIOS...... File Not Found..
Note that: E7680IMS.C30 File was given to me by MSI Support Staff as I did not kept Original files during formatting USB PenDrive.
But computer is not looking for .C30 Rom File, Computer is looking for .BIN File
(3) I have remove the battery and waited for 5 min. and placed again, to reset BIOS, but not difference on result or on message...
Renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to EIVB.BIN
Result: Just Blank Screen with A2 text on right side bottom corner, No other message
In some other same issue post, they recommand to change ROM File name to: EIVB.BIN which worked for others, so I also tried and renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to EIVB.BIN, in this case, I was able recreate original Issue: When computer boots, Screen stays completely Blank, and on the right side bottom corner, only 2 digit tect comes is: A2. Computer does not give any other message and nothing happens...even I waited for 30 minutes...
Also, by looking at USB Pendrive light, I can tell that, motherboard is reading file on the Pen Drive...
Renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to E7680IMS.BIN
Result: Message comes on the screen: Updating BIOS...... File Not Found..
(5) What I am thinking is: When motherboard power-ups, it's giving me two different type of Valid message based on if USB is in the computer or not, based on if file name is .BIN or not, so I believe motherboard is still not dead and there are hope to feed the file which motherboard is looking for. But issue how to find what specific file which it's looking for... Even sometime I have seen at screen right side bottom area, 2 Digit numbers are changing just like system is doing internal healthcheck before booting up...
(6) Note that, I would like to put old version file on USB to feed, but one of the biggest issue with MSI is, once you download EXE from their website, to Extract EXE file content it needs to be run on the same motherboard computer, so in my case, if your motherboard is not in bootable cituation then you can not extract any other BIOS File to try...
Please help me...by havin this computer down....I am suffering everyday...
(By profession, I am electronics Engineer and have worked with programming Microcontroller and bootloaders, but in this case, I do not have SPI Programmer to program BIOS chip externally.)

Thank you flobelix and Nichrome.
Quick Result Summary: 128MB USB Key formatted FAT32 with HP Tool, made MS-Dos Bootable and placed EIVB.BIN file given by flobelix, but final result is: Screen comes Blank and only shows "A0" Code at right side bottom corner. nothing else.
Detail
Since Flobelix proviced ROM BIN File, I was too exicited to try it out and here is what I did...
(1) As per Nichrome link for HP USB Format Tool, I installed it on "Win XP" machine, and formatted 128MB USB key by selecting "FAT32" and selected option to make "MS-DOS Bootable" and shown Win98 source files as per the instruction.
-128MB USB drive made bootable with FAT32.
(2) I downloaded EIVB.rar given by flobelix and extracted and copied EIVB.BIN file on USB root.
Inserted USB in MSI and powered up...
As soon as I give power: Imidiately one normal beep and Screen comes completly Dark Blank. No message about "File not found". only at right side bottom of screen, it shows "A0".
I inserted USB key in each and every USB slot, but result is same: Screen stays Blank and on right side corner only "A0" letter.
I given around 3-5 minutes time to see something changes on screen, but no change.
- If I power-up computer without connecting any USB Drive: then message comes on screen that: Bios Update has not completed, please insert USB Key and Reset System.
- On USB Key, If I put ROM File with any other name (except EIVB.BIN) then Message comes: Updating BIOS... File Not Found...
- I have removed battery to give a try for resetting BIOS, but not change.
Question:
(1) Is it possible that, motherboard is looking for specific version of File or some different version of file ? and just staying silent and not complaining for existing EIVB.BIN ?
Here is I experiment: I simply created empty text file (0 Byte) on USB Drive and given name EIVB.BIN and booted up computer and same result: Blank Screen and just "A0" on right side bottom corner.
So, it tells me that, when power is given, the program which executes in motherboard for BIOS, it is not able to identify real or fake EIVB.BIN. I think, it's looking for some specific file and when not found, it's getting confuse on what to do....and not saying anything on the screen....
Has anyone old version BIN file of H61MU-E35 (B3) ?
Is there any trick so I can download older version Packaged EXE from MSI website and extract it ? I can give a try....

BIOS Update Issues - H61MU-E35

Hey all,
I'm a bonehead, and managed to commit a flurry of small mistakes that led me to having an FAT32 formatted USB disk with the E7680vC3.exe update file for the MSI® H61MU-E35, but no Windows Machine to boot it up on. Is it possible that anyone out there has the additional files that appear on the USB drive after doubleclicking on it to begin the BIOS update process? It won't even begin if it doesn't detect the correct board, and I don't know anyone else with it.

H61MU-E35 issues?

Hi there,
I am having some issues with my MSI based Sandy Bridge system. I have the H61MU-E35 mainboard with the I3-2100 cpu. Today the system won't boot, it hangs some time a post code A2, then it shows the MSI bootscreen and then i goes black. I can enter the bios, but there are my bootdisk (SSD Vertex 2 60GB) and one storage disk (Samsung Spinpoint F4 2TB hdd) missing. I only my 1,5TB Samsung Spinpoint F2 disk and the optical disk (as well Samsung).
The other day (twoo weeks ago or so) i had a bsod while booting: 0x00000074 bad_system_config_info. I had to reinstall Windows, that helped it till today. But now there's a problem again and I don't know how to analyse it this time. Can someone think with me here? Thanks a bunch!
My system is:
Core i3 2100
H61MU-E35
Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3-1333 CL9 kit
Be Quiet Pure Power L7 300W
OCZ Vertex 2 Extended 60GB
Samsung Spinpoint F2 EcoGreen 1.5TB
Samsung Spinpoint F4 EcoGreen 2TB

I shall leave the OZC Vertex comments to people that have had experience with them. Can you confirm that your machine is stable when these OZC SSD are disconnected ? If so, then you know where to start in terms of potential hardware incompatability. Have you checked the OZC forum for any similar experiences and/or fixes ?
Searching for problems on Vertex drives, the net seems to be full of reported issues.
btw, did you use IDE or AHCI mode on initial installation. The recommendation is AHCI for SSDs.

Exactly how do i RMA the board? Can I just send it back from where I purchased it?
Hold up there buddy, dont rma it yet. I have the same board, had the same problem straight out of box. MSI sent out a batch of those boards with the wrong jumper settings. Look on your motherboard near the rear ios inputs. look for a header labeled jusb-pw2. flip that jumper to the top two pins and clear the cmos and you should be good

MSI 870a-G54 Hard drive problem.

About a week ago i reinstalled Windows because it started to slow down (virusses and what not) And as soon as i reinstalled everything (programs games etc etc) One of my harddrives used for games did not show up at the bios and at My computer.
So this entire week i've been trying to get it to work again and i've narrowed down the problem today to the BIOS and/or motherboard not giving the power to the HDD in order for it to start and be recognized in BIOS and Windows.
What ive done to come to this conclusion:
- Reinstalled Windows twice,
- Replaced CMOS Battery,
- Flashed the BIOS to every BIOS setting the MSI website had to offer. None worked for the HDD to get powered up again.
- Moved CMOS jumper,
- Changed SATA and powercables on harddrive,
- Tried the HDD on another test PC i had and reformatted it there as well,
- Only hooked up the not working HDD to the PC, (HDD did not spin up, and came to the conclusion at this point that motherboard or BIOS is the culprit)
- Unplugged the powercable to the not working HDD and plugged it back in when the PC was running and i could feel it spinning up, after this i restarted the PC so that the HDD would still get power and it was recognized by the BIOS and Windows and i could use it. As soon as i shut down the PC entirely and restarted it the HDD would not spin up. And i had to unplug power to the HDD and plug it in again and restart PC for it to work properly.
- Checked for bad sectors nothing found,
Everything else is working perfectly. Except that one HDD not getting the power when booting up the PC.
The HDD in question is the "Samsung HD502HJ 500gig" used for Steam games.
PC Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black edition. Put on a new CPU cooler last summer (Cooler master Hyper 212 Plus)
Mobo: MSI 870a-G54
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA650 (650 Watts)
Graphics card: Powercolor PCS+ HD5870 Put on a custom cooler last summer (Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 5870)
RAM: Kingston ValueRam 1333Mhz DDR3 (8gigs 4x 2gig) Bought 4 gigs extra last summer
HDD1: Seagate ST3160812 AS 160gig used for Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit (Works perfectly)
HDD2: Samsung HD204UI 2TB used for Storage / Other games than i have on Steam. (works perfectly) Bought last summer with the cooling/system upgrade
HDD3: Samsung HD502HJ 500gig used for Steam games. (Does not work anymore after reinstal) Bought 2 years ago along with the rest of the PC
I am completely at a loss here as to what the problem is. I do not have the funds to buy a new piece of hardware at this time (i think the entire week of struggle would back that up for me lol...). And ive basically tried everything what i know and what i've found through Google and friends. Might have been better going straight to MSI forum and post my problem here but narrowing it down to this not only helps me but the person that is going to post below in this thread as well lol.
Thanks in advance and i hope to hear from anyone soon.

Try drive in different PC, as it looks like it died.
HDD's always spinup as soon as power is applied, ergo I think the drive died.
Ive tried it already in 2 different PC's and i have to apologize here for not mentioning that earlier in the topic.
The drive spins up perfectly in both of those PC's and ive checked for bad sectors on both of those PC's as well and it showed that the drive was 100% healthy on both PC's
The drive was working perfectly fine before the reinstallation of windows. Thats why i dont think the drive has died. Because it would be weird that the drive just suddenly gave up right when im reinstalling windows..
It also doesnt add up when i plug the powercable back into the drive while the PC is running and it spins up then and works perfectly until PC is shut down. Thats why i had it narrowed down to the BIOS and/or Motherboard being the culprit.
My best guess is that its software related because the PC does boot up so its not a hardware problem.
P.S.
A friend of mine said that it could be a powersaving issue. But ive looked into the BIOS and i could not find anything about it.
