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

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 Z87-GD65 Gaming BIOS Update

Bought this setup quite a while ago, running a 4670k on the z87 gd65 gaming board and thought about trying a bit of OCing, probably just gonna try out the OC Genie for now, but i was wondering if it would be a good idea to do a BIOS update or is that not necessary? Im still running on bios 1.3 which from what i can see on the msi site is a quite old one.

Quote from: flobelix on 23-September-14, 01:02:53
No, 1.3 is too outdated. If wanting to go for latest generation vga get the latest vga (1.B):
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download the attached archive (E7845IMS_1B0.rar) and place it on your desktop. Do not decompress.
B.) Download and install the Forum flash tool.
C.) Insert your FAT32 formatted usb stick.
D.) Make sure that all win 8 options are disabled. (Fast Boot etc) Also make sure the legacy USB is enabled.
E.) Start the forum flash tool and select option 1. Then point the tool at the compressed archive we downloaded earlier. Then to your USB Flash Drive.
F.) Boot to the USB
G.) Now follow the directions and let the tool flash
H.) After flashing reinstall ME drivers in Windows: http://download.msi.com/dvr_exe/intel_amt90_mb.zip
Thanks Flobelix, running windows 7 but i guess the procedure is still the same, are the ME drivers the chipset drivers? i downloaded the chipset drivers for my OS from the msi site (intel_chipse_9_mb.zip) or is it the "Intel Management Engine Driver+Microsoft hotfix".

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.

[Athlon64] MSI K8T Neo FIS2R BIOS Update when? CnQ no workie!

The MSI K8T Neo FIS2R (MS-6702) hasn't had a BIOS update since 3-4-2005!
I put a Sempron 64 3000+ in my motherboard, and was very disappointed that it is recognized as an "AMD Unknown Processor". Sure, it works, but one of the reasons I bought it is in the hopes of getting AMD Cool n Quiet to work. However, apparently the AMD driver can't recognize the CPU due to the old BIOS on the motherboard.
Every other MSI skt 754 board supports Sempron E6 revision already. Why not the K8T Neo FIS2R? Where have all the MSI BIOS programmers gone? I have been waiting 2-months for a BIOS update to support the E6 Semprons. I have asked and begged MSI Tech Support. I am tempted to switch to ASUS or some other company that is actually timely with BIOS updates. Only reason I haven't yet, is this board is everything I want EXCEPT for Cool n Quiet not working. It's starting to look like there is no BIOS update in sight, so I am very disappointed.
Anyone here work for MSI can confirm there are no plans for a BIOS update? Because I don't want to wait around for something that's not going to happen.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply I thought the mods here are MSI staff... I was just kind of hoping there's MSI staff lurking here, seeing what people think of their products or seeing what people complain about.
No, pretty much C 'n Q is the only reason I'm disappointed, but it was something I was really set on getting to work since this is a server that's up 24/7, but isn't utilized but maybe 4hrs out of a given day. I could reduce frequency and voltage, but unlike C 'n Q, it won't automatically increase speed and voltage based on demand - which is something I want since although it's a server, I also use it as a regular PC as well.
I've even tried the 2.33 beta BIOS with no change, and even found a 5.52 BIOS in their BIOS testing directory. I guess that BIOS was for a different kind of 6702, although I had pulled out the peripheral modules with AMI's MMTOOL and they looked the same as the existing BIOS, but that BIOS killed my motherboard so it couldn't have been for a regular 6702. I had to desolder the BIOS chip with a heat gun, reprogram the old BIOS back on it with an EPROM programmer, and solder in a socket. I guess that shows my dedication to get C 'n Q working!

BIOS UPDATE ERROR of HP G6010EG

Hello,
i have a problem updating my old BIOS Version F.1F to F.03, F.07 or newest F.08 (those are the only available bios versions for my Modelnumber on HP
I always get the error: "This Bios Version is not for your PC / Notebook" if i want to run the update directyl after Installation.
Alternative:
Even if I copy the *.WPA (extracted from the downloaded bios-update *.exe installer ) file into the extracted folder of WinFlash64 directory (My Vista is 64-bit), and rename it to "BIOS.WPH" and run the flash util as administrator, i get the following error messages:
First Error:
Part ID of System Bios and new Image File are different (system = AT8, file = AT1).
The System Platfrom may be different from the Image file. Are you sure you want to proceed?
I click "Yes" and then the Pc freezes with the Error message:
BIOS update failed! Failed to flash Bios image: Enable Chipset/Platform/FlashDevice failed!
Incorrect funtion. Error code 1
See the Help for troubleshooting.
HP G6000
Product: HP G6010EG
p/n gh830ea#abd
Windows Vista 64bit
I googled a lot and also read in the forum. I'm quite familiar with computer and never had such issues with a Bios update.
Hope for help!
Greetings
BTW this is the current BIOS-Info that Windows shows up:

Ok i stop forcing it and wait for help....
Your Idea of an error in what has been posted could also explain why i could not get the HP G6010EG Wireless-Lan to work with the drivers on the HP Driver Page:
Atheros Wireless LAN-Treiber 2009-03-04 , Version3.00 A, 18.94M
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=2100&lc=de&cc=de&dlc=de&sw_lang=&product=3545...
I used a driver software (freeware) with an external WLan-Card to automatically install the proper internal Wireless Lan Driver so that the Wireless-Lan of the HP G6010EG is working now...
Saidly this software does not automatically detect a proper BIOS... ;-) :-(

MSI Big Bang 2 Bios Update

I down loaded the 2.4 bios zip. Used the msi usb utility to point to drive, restart and run bios update. Everything shows success except the bios stays the same. I also ran the me8 driver update and nothing seemed to happen. Please give me some help thanks.

Hi
Normaly there aint any change, that you can see with your eyes in BIOS, Other then BIOS version number.
Some times there maybe added features, buts thats rear. Mostly BIOS updates adds stable and compatibility.

MSI P6N Platinum OEM, BIOS update needed

Hi, I got an p6n platinum oem board, which looks different to the original board by msi. There are no heatpipes inside and the e-sata is missing and it looks like the p6n sli (without platinum). The BIOS ID: MSI P6N SLI Platinum A7350NM7 V1.08 110107.
Where can I get the BIOS update/is it possible to flash with original msi BIOS update?

We can not offer support for OEM products. Support is only available for MSI Retail products.
Remember, there may be slight design differences between the OEM version and the retail version. The retail bios may brick or distabilize the OEM version.

MSI X99S Xpower AC Bios Update Failure

While flashing my bios tonight to the most recent version, my pc power accidently cycled power. It was updating the "A" bios at the time. I can still boot via B which I successfully flashed to the most recent just before doing A. Is there a way to recover A or is it permanent? B boots fine, but A just freezes on a black screen. Any suggestions on what to do will be appreciated. My pc specs are in my footer.

My BIOS B has the most recent for this board (1.6 dated 2015-01-17). Yesterday, when I spoke to MSI tech support, they told me to stick the USB drive with the bios into one of the rear USB ports of the motherboard instead of the direct USB port adjacent to the BIOS selector switch on the board, restart my pc, and when I get to the bios screen to switch over the BIOS switch to A, then run M-FLASH and the A should be updated. I did this, I can use my keyboard and mouse with this configuration, however, after I switch over to the A BIOS and start M-FLASH, I get the red 5 second restart warning, and my pc turns off and upon restart it freezes and does not even start the BIOS update for A. Hmmmm... At least I am part way there. I will try again tonight. BTW - I do not get a "please set multi BIOS switch to the target BIOS ROM then press any key to continue" dialogue box. I will advise later tonight my results.

Msi neo2 p35 + E8500 bios update

Hey
i cant update the bios i downloaded the latest version 7345v1a and im told to burn an iso file and then boot up but no files match the iso program when i try to compile. im sorry for typos but im dansih
/Fudge

Fudgeman, please be more specific about your issue. What is your current BIOS Version? Why do you need a BIOS Update? If you have an E0-Stepping processor, a too old BIOS Version and want to update your BIOS because the system seems to freeze up during POST (and does not accept keyboard commands), you cannot simply update your BIOS in a standard procedure. You either need to put in a supported CPU first or try if the AMI Recovery Routine can be forced to run (for this procedure you need an internal floppy drive and a PS/2 Keyboard).

970 gaming bios update error

updated to latest bios version via live update and now get an error msg after reboot "mb thermal design doesnt support cpu over 200w" i have removed battery for more than 15m and tried to reset cmos via jumper.

For contacting AMD go to AMD site. For contacting MSI directly: >>How to contact MSI.<<
However this board's hardware is not able to handle a 220W cpu under load like clearly listed by MSI. It doesn't matter what any people or companies build.
That's their warranty risk but not relevant for juding if the cpu can be handled by board's thermal and power design.
If companies put it on 970 Gaming and expect it to be throttled it's probably more fraud but a useful offer. No need to buy a 9590 if it won't run at full speed.

I'm using windows 10 pro and trying to update the bios to 2.00, I get the following error message though. "current platform NOT supports GPT." I have no idea what this error message means, can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Hi
Welcome to the forum!!!
I am not sure of the problem but i don't advice you to use errorend or other programs since it will cost you 30$ and there is no assurance if it will work.

Hi
As far as I know this error appears if you use a wrong BIOS version.

The Toshiba European driver page provides a BIOS v2.10 but only for Satellite A660 *PSAW9E* series.
