Msi P67A-GD65 keep restarting after bios update

Hello
I have a Msi P67A-GD65 B2 motherboard, I tried today to upgrade bios to version 4.2,after update pc start up showing marvel controller then MSI logo and then computer restart over and over,if I try to enter BIOS will show 'entering setup', and restart again.Dual BIOS led does not light up and is not blinking.What can I do in this situation? How to switch the motherboard BIOS to boot from the other one?

Can you verify that, I don't think they make a B2.
Not sure why the hijack in this thread with different hardware involved, but a B2 is a defective mainboard from the beginning, and should have been replaced at the time of the replacement offers over a year or so ago.

I understood that there was a backup BIOS so I felt confident to be able to fall back in some way. Can you help me using that backup?
The Ivy udpate flashes the secondary chip as well on the GD65, so it would do no good to have access to it unless you could get into the UEFI/BIOS somehow to 'enable' the Dual BIOS Auto Update setting to restore the corrupted primary.

P67A-gd65 boot problem after BIOS update

I'm not optimistic about this, but...
My P67A-GD65 was delivered with BIOS 1.5. (However, the stickers on both chips read 1.4.) I updated the BIOS to 1.7 using a DOS formatted USB flash drive. (The EM was updated as well.) Things seemed to be running OK.
I foolishly experimented with the 1.8A beta BIOS. I flashed from DOS again. After rebooting, I went into the settings to reconfigure the machine as it had been. The EFI screen hung, so I powered the machine down (from the button, not the PSU).
I've been unable to boot since. No display appears on the monitor. If it is powered down, the power comes back on for an instant, goes off again, and comes up again with nothing on the display. The USB keyboard and mouse never become active, as far as I can tell. I tried a PS/2 keyboard; no difference.
If this board has dual BIOS indicator LEDs, neither illuminates, which indicates that all is serene.
I have cleared the CMOS several times, using the jumper or the button at the rear I/O panel.
Any advice? Is there any way to force the use of the second BIOS? (I've read the MSI dual BIOS FAQ posted elsewhere, but didn't spot anything of use.)
RMA time?

Hi,
The blue screens started after a clean Bios flash to the 18b10 bios then eventually it stopped working complety (just doing the start up cycle over and over)
I had tried reseting cmos and it doesnt make a difference, the motherboard will not post , boot , start up at all so default settings cant be set (although reseting cmos would set to default anyway)
Each time the board goes through the start up cycle (i.e. upon pressing start button the board will start up with fans spinning for a second then shut down, start up again with fans spinning for a second then shut down, continuasly repeating until main power is removed) I have used a multimeter to measure the voltage read points on the board and they show that there is no vcore being suplied to the cpu but all other points show the voltage is being supplied to those componants, so imo that is where the problem lies and I would sugest that the other ppl who are having this issue to also try measuring the voltage read points and see if the same thing is happening on thier boards .
If others are getting the same results (no vcore) then the msi techs should be informed of this issue..(imo)
1.8b10 still is a beta bios. I got random bluescreens with that one also at some point a blinking bios led. So I flashed back from secondary bios (using the first option (change disable in enable)in "security" in the EFI shell to allow flashing from secondary bios), blinking bios led now stopped, Then I flashed with 1.7, no issues sofar cpu now running stable at 4.5Ghz (already 2 days).

MSI P67A-GD65 keeps turing on and off...

I have had the follwing build since about march this year.
8GB Mushkin Silverline #996770 (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz 9-9-9-24
MSI P67A-GD65 Intel P67 (REV B3) Socket 1155 DDR3 PCI-Express Motherboard
Intel Core i7-2600 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
XFX ATI Radeon HD5750
It was all working reasonably fine but I had notice it getting abit noisier so thought it was time for a bit of a clean to remove dust from fans, heatsinks etc. which it drastcially needed.
Anyhow, put it back together and now it turns on and off on start up at a period of about 5 seconds. (It has done this about 11 time before I unplugged it) Checked connections but everything SEEMS fine there. Unsure what it could be and could do to get it back up ASAP.
All was working fine prior and upto cleaning (which was today).
Also I currently have no computers to test bits on but I have done a Bare bones test with no look.
I am secrectly hoping one of can tell me its the heastink as I do have another of those (in fact a better one which I should really put on) but I somehow doubt it would be the issue.
Anyhow I hope this is enough information but I will promptly reply as soon as I can if you need to know anything else.
Thanks,

If it does not POST should it go I still get some output to the screen? I remember many years ago I could get to the BIOS but not boot with no RAM in. Should this happen with this board? All I would like to do is eliminate as many components as possible.
I am not sure sucessfully POST ing is necessarily important in this instance as the issue is (to me)a little odd. Even if it does not POST should it stay on for more than a second and secondly if it does turn off should it stay off and turn on and off ad infinitum? Just to not I am not using the case power switch just in case this had for whatever reason got jammed (this has happened on a computer I had to fix once (I am not a professional but often get roped in to "can you just have a quick look at..."))
Once again a huge thanks for the continued support on this, I have had far more useful advice/questions asked so far from you than I have from MSI themselves and actually had responses unlike my retailer (I will have ot try call them tommorow).

Z68a-gd65 boot loop after bios update using USB

Hi there,
My z68a-gd65 (G3) went into a boot loop after I did a bios update from a USB key that I installed using the latest BIOS version on the MSI site 7681vP8.zip
After the system restarted, it keeps booting up for 5 seconds and then shutting down, I removed all external devices and the Geforce GTX 550 Ti card and used the onboard card, but still no change...
Is there a way to set the board to factory defaults again???
Marcel

Hi there,
Maybe for others to solve the same problem, I found out what was the cause of this problem, I had a USB/Firewire card installed in the PC, after removing it the BIOS update could proceed from the USB stick as planned.
After the update though, my USB/firewire card can still not be installed back into the slot, because doing so will make the boot loop appear again, very odd!
Does anyone know why this new BIOS will not work with the card that has been inside my PC for 2 years???

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.

P67a-C43 Overclock Issues after BIOS Update

Hello,
After updating the BIOS to 5.1 (2012-06-12) I can't get a stable CPU OC. In the past I was able to OC to 4.5 with 1.3v CPU Core Voltage and it was stable and now even with 1.35v (max voltage) the system BSODs all the time. Further more, I can't downgrade the BIOS as the latest one updated some firmware that aren't compatible with the older ones. Even if I use the default settings for OC (OC Genie) the system is not stable (4.2 GHZ @ 1.35v - default).
Any ideas? Thank you !
EDIT: I've just seen some other members requesting "custom files" that allow them to restore a older BIOS version (1.I), if someone could make such a file for my p67a-c43, that would be great !
CPU: i5 2500k
MB: MSI P67A-C43
RAM: 2x2GB Kingston 1600MHZ DDR3
PSU: Corsair 750TX2
GPU: HD6970

Thanks for the help but unfortunately I couldn't revert the BIOS using the file you supplied.
I am getting the same error as with a manual update: Current ROM version is not compatible with something something.
I've used both the manual way and the MSIHQ USB Bootable Tool and BIOS Helper to no avail...

MSI Z87-G41 - No POST After BIOS Update

I've tried updating the bios through the M-Flash method since my PC wouldn't restart. I heard that updating the BIOS and Intel ME through M-Flash would fix the problem with restarts, so I updated through this method. I chose the right BIOS, and the update was successful. I waited until it restarted(asked me to restart it myself or to wait until it restarted). Now it just shows a black screen. I've tried clearing the CMOS by removing the battery and jumping the JBAT1 pins. I've tried removing my GPU and leaving one stick of RAM in and nothing, still the black screen. I just got my PSU RMA'd(doesn't have anything to do with the restart problem, new PSU different brand) and I really don't want to have to do an RMA for this and wait 2-5 weeks just to use a computer. I've updated this board successfully in the past without issue(through M-Flash), and now I'm dealing with this. Just as an added note, everything powers on perfectly.
CPU - i5-4590
GPU - EVGA GTX 760 SC
RAM - Corsair Vengeance Ram 12GB(4x3)

Did you see any debug code when you start the system?
No, just a black screen. Tried both my GPU and motherboard video outputs.

P67a-c43 boot loop after bios update

Last night, I attempted to update the bios on my P67A-C43 (B3) board using the version 5.1 bios. After the BIOS installed, it restarted and came up with the "all settings were reset to default values. press f1 to run setup. press f2 to continue" I hit f2 and my system keeps resetting in an infinite boot loop. I was able to reset the BIOS using the reset button on the back of the board to get back to the bios prompt, but pressing either f1 or f2 puts it back into the boot loop. Any help would be appreciated.

Laptop keeps crashing after BIOS update

Today, March 22nd 2015, I installed an automatic update from Toshiba for my Satellite laptop. Ever since the update my laptop keeps crashing seconds after booting, displaying the message: "system thread exception not handled (btfilter.sys)
Can anyone help me?

MasterG is right. try to install original recovery image again and test functionality with factory settings.
If you use Win7 try to start machine in safe mode or try to use system restore option. Test a bit what happen when you do this.
unfortunately we don't know which notebook model do you have, which OS is installed and what kind of updates were offered for installation.

Droid RAZR M Keeps Restarting After Software Update

I just updated the firmware on my phone to whatever the latest one is, and now it restarts every minute or so, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. Any ideas?

Djackcrum,
I want to make sure that you are able to get full function of the phone. And with it resetting every minute it makes it really hard to use the phone. It sounds like that the update may of had a small hiccup in it. Please try to power the device off yourself. Then once the device is off can we please remove the sim card. Leave the sim card out for a good 10-15 seconds. Then power back up the device normally. http://vz.to/1gs236i Please keep us posted.

mainboard damage?

Quote from: Differentone on 02-June-12, 20:30:48
I think you failed at disconnect the power while in loop.
Because of was the same as me, infinite loop like 4~5 times and after continued to install.
Here for an explanation look at page 4 > http://event.msi.com/mb/22nm/Bios_ME7_to%20_ME8_update_SOP_EN.pdf
If you didnt seen this part, failed and.... I dont know what can you do at this point.
in fact the problem was after this last update mentioned on page 4 of SOP guide that you linked and that i was read ... all ... but what is strange is that i have no display error during all update .. alla goes fine ...after last reboot ... dead.
someone can tell us what's happened? i'm not newbie about this procedures of bios update ...without any problem.

BIOS 4.3 half flashed on MSI P67A-GD65 reboot loop ME not installed

Hi, yesterday I tried to flash my bios from 1.19 (1.jo) to 4.3 and I followed the SOP guidelines. Made a flash fat32 got bios on it, started it, stopped all my applications under windows and it went with no error. PC Restarted and now it's in infinite reboot loop. The moment the MSI BIOS logo appears, the PC auto reboots.
If I remove the usb drive or replace the bios file with another version it tells me it's not the file it needs. When I insert the one with the .43 file it goes back to reboot cycle. I tried resetting the CMOS with the button on the mainboard and I have this screen telling me BIOS is 4.3 and it has recognized all my 12gb ram, 2 hard drives and processor. Then it has press F1 to enter setup and press F2 to continue, both options result in reboot.
I tried the 1.JO on flash, but it tells me again that it's the wrong file. Tried renaming it to amiboot as I found somewhere, but to no avail. Tried renaming the .43 to EIVB.bin as it was suggested in one forum, again no luck.
System specs:
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Mainboard: MSI P67A-GD65 (not B3)
CPU: Intel Sandy bridge i5-2500k @3.3ghz
RAM: 2x2gb Kinston 2x4gb Gskill DDR3@1333hz 10600 CL7
GPU: Nvidia Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (reason I wanted to flash bios)
PSU: Seasonic 80+ platinum 650W

Quote from: Svet on 22-February-15, 19:25:45
older non B3 versions ME can't be flashed,
therefor you will brick it if you attempt to do it via MSI's all in one updater..
you can try anyway to try with barabone setup with 1 memory stick only and disconnect everything that's not required to boot
and to try the USB key in any of the other USB ports
and/or with different USB key too
to see if ME update will able to continue
I wasn't sure about the ME update, read that someone managed. The Live Update 6 did my 1.19 (1.JO) update. I tried all usb slots and 3 different sticks, formated them and so on. Nothing worked. I tried disconnecting all hard drives and DVD drive too.
Is there a way to stop this cycle or to restore to the 1.19 version?

Msi p67a gd65 with p67a gd80 beta bios

hi to everyone here,
i have purchased a pc and have a msi p67a gd65 mobo
i noticed that on the actual mobo it clearly states its a p67a gd65 i have verified this , its defnately a gd65
how ever, cpu z detects it as a p67a gd80, also command centre detects a p67a gd80, bios version is : P67A GD80 10.3b2
so my mobo has a gd80 beta bios...
i do not know how it came about as im not owner from new
question 1 : all i need help with is flashing back to gd65 bios (bios 1.19 ] , do i need to do a blind flash to force update ? and how do i do it ? because its gd65 not gd80
question 2 : and also how do i check if both bios chips were flashed to this beta bios ?
question 3 : do i flash both bios chips when i do the bios flash ?
question 4 : how do i switch between the 2 bios chips ?
sorry for all the questions, the main question is question 1
thnx guys

In my experience, for a 2700k, UEFI/BIOS v1.H proved to be the very best one.
I would go ahead and use what P D says there, he did a lot of testing on his many builds the past few years and knows more about it that most other people.
What I had in my last reply was just the basic required info you needed to answer question about 2700K support after going through 1/2 dozen lists needed to find my info.
