MSI R9 290 Gaming OC Edition Hybrid Bios

Hi, there!
I have this brand new MSI R9 290 OC installed on my good old 990FXA-GD80. Works fine on BIOS key on position 1, but no info on the position 2 and games remain black screen, playing only audio. Sometimes Blue Screen on startup when enable Windows 8 feature and Secure Boot.
I believe it has the latest vbios, but I cannot manage to have a copy of it...
Here is the Legacy version:
[Inline mode=1]
The serial number is: 601-7640-120B1401012161
I would like you people to provide me the .rom file so I can try flashing the UEFI version of the same vbios over the position #2.
I would appreciate the help and attention.
(Sorry for the poor English.)

Create a bootable usb stick (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=165175.0).
Then unpack the previously provided archive (xxx.rar) and put the included file (TVxxxxx.zzz) on that stick.
Rename TVxxxxx.zzz to zzz.rom.
Put the atiflash.exe from: https://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2306/atiflash-4-17/
on the USB stick too. Now boot from the stick.
Type atiflash -p -f -noaper 0 zzz.rom [ENTER] and let it flash the vbios.

  • MSI R9 290 Gaming 4G - BSOD - needs Bios update?

    Since installing this card I keep getting BSOD at random times, usually during gaming.
    I have 800w PSU, and the system was totally stable until adding this card. Latest ATI drivers 14.9 Win 7 64bit.
    I want to try updating the GPU BIOS but can't find any on the support page on MSI website..
    I have saved the GPU BIOS as a file "Hawaii.rom" using GPU-Z and I have my S/N for the card.. what do I do next?
    Btw... Live update 6 doesn't even start it just crashes so can't use that.

    (I have updated system specs in sig)
    The current GPU BIOS is:
     015.042.000.000
    Useless.

    None of that is a bios version. We need a link to a copy of your vbios saved to file and uploaded to a file hoster to check if there is a newer version. If not allowed to link yet add a break to the link so it is masked being a link.

    Others reported that too when using the same card. If unlocking won't work (>>How to use MSI Afterburner<<) contact MSi about it as there seems to be an issue: >>How to contact MSI.<<

    UEFI is aGOP compliant vbios that allows to use secureboot/fastboot (Windows 8/8.1). If not using UEFI booting it doesn't matter which you use. Older mainboards with UEFI but not being GOP compliant on the other hand won't work with a GOP vbios and only the legacy vbios allows to use the card.

    You can inrease gpu clockrate in little steps with >>MSI Afterburner<<. If it gets unstable reduce clockrate by a step until it is stable again. GPU will have better performance as long as it is not bottlenecked by the cpu.
    i dont get it..with this u mean that i need to increase gpu or cpu clockrate? how should i set afterburner?

  • MSI R9 280X GAMING vs MSI R9 280X GAMING BF4 edition

    Hi Guys,
    I was wondering if there is any hardware difference between the MSI R9 280X GAMING and MSI R9 280X GAMING BF4 edition.
    I already have an MSI R9 280X GAMING BF4 edition and I want one more that is identical. However the retail price for the "none BF4" is cheaper.
    Please advice.

    Hi,
    There is no difference in hardware. The BF4 version has a code to get a copy/download of BF4

  • Flashing of MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING failed and dual bios not helping, not sure why?

    Hi all
    For the first time in 20 years Ive had a firmware flash fail it seems.
    I have a MSI Z87-GD65 GAMING and updated the bios with the latest firmware via the "M-FLASH" utility within the systems bios.
    All seemed to have gone well, it flashed to 100% rebooted and then just a blank screen and a sequence of keyboard light flashes.
    After a minutes panic I thought not to worry, the motherboard has a dual bios.   So I powered down and switched the bios switch to bios B hoping it would assist and the problem is identical.
    Any tips anyone?

    I just tried this along with removing power from the main board and it seems one of the two did it!   thanks

  • [Request] MSI R9 280x Gaming OC Edition (Canada)

    Hello, I accidentally flashed a Sapphire BIOS onto my MSI 280x like an idiot and am scared I bricked it because now the driver is crashing and I'm getting artifacting. I also stupidly overwrote the original vBIOS with the sapphire so I beg of you to please help me out with my initial vbios. Card was bought with 15.40 on it, I tried flashing to another one linked here for : 602-v277-28SBxxx however my numbers at the end are different. If it's still crashing, does that mean it's bricked? Mine is: 912-V277-057
    Unfortunately I cannot upload the BIOS as it was overwritten by Sapphire BIOS! And I cannot find it anywhere else...looking for 28SB bios.
    Even though I tried naming sapphire bios like so: atiflash -s 0 sapphireoriginal.bin and : atiflash -s 0 original.bin it still overwrote the MSI original.bin! Gahhh.
    Any help appreciated! Thank you.

    What does that mean? what is your S/N?
    Mate, that is my serial number! 
    Just wanted to update that I flashed with legacy 304 that I found on these forums and all seems to be working great again. In fact, the temps are much lower, I'm assuming because the new bios fixed VRM overheating...used to run @ 80c now it barely hits 70.
    Great job MSI! I suggest others also update bios if temps are too high.

  • Msi r9-290 gaming (fan RPM )

    Hello can anyone help please . my r9-290 gaming dose NOT show the fan RPM any more in GPUZ or in MSI afterburner. it use to in 13.12 but now nothing shows on 14.1  (fan rpm = 0 ) fans are on and running on desktop they are at 18% and go to about 40% in game.
    plus in MSI afterburner the gpu ram speed keeps going up and down like a yoyo.
    here is a screen shot of what i mean.

    Hi hpipiw
    I think the fans are actually fine, its definitely looking like a software issue, I didn't see this problem before installing afterburner, and setting a higher min fan speed seems to have cured the issue for now.
    I can imagine that a fan thats seizing up might just stop at lower speeds, but I would think it would struggle to start up when touched.
    Keeping an eye on it for now, will of course rma if I notice anything bad happening.
    Cheers for the comment.

  • MSI R9 290 Gaming 4GB Black Screen/Freeze Issue

    Hello All,
    I just received my new MSI Radeon R9 290 Gaming. 4GB. It freezes/locks up upon booting into windows. If I do not install the drivers. It does not lock up. As soon as I install any driver, it goes to a black screen, and locks up. I have read the forums, and see a few other people have reported this issue. I have tried the following AMD Catalyst drivers 14.7(beta), 14.1, 13.2. All still have the same issue. I have tried installing the driver manually(via device manager) with out the CCC. I have also tried the native drivers from MSI's website. still same issue. Not sure what else to do here. I am using a CoolerMaster RS-850Watt power supply. Windows 8.1 Pro. Here are the rest of the details of my setup. Anyone know of a fix for this issue?

    Hey guys, thanks for trying to help. I ended up going back to the retailer. memory express. They determined that the card was DOA. They exchanged it and provided me a new card. New card has no issues. thank you for the help.

  • MSI R9 290 Gaming - My PC keeps freezing, blackscreening and then rebooting?:(

    So for christmas i got an r9 290 and a new 750w psu.
    Before instaalling them i had never had any problems with restarting. However now that i've installed them my PC keeps restarting? what have i doneeee?
    My components are;
    coolermaster 750w 80+ bronze psu
    ASUS m5a78l usb 3 mobo
    AMD fx 6300 cpu
    Msi r9 290 gpu
    three fans
    1 hdd
    2 x 4gb ddr3 ram
    What is wrong with my PC? it surely cant be power as coolermaster said i only need about 450w!
    When I first installed it this morning it was working fine for a few hours then this all happened! I've made sure all the psu connectors are in properly. Just put my old gtx 650 in and that worked fine i've been able to play games?

    Quote from: nhornbrook on 28-December-14, 21:34:18
    I don't think it's the mobo bios because if it couldn't handle the 290 surely it wouldn't let me play any games at all? And the device is recognised?
    Compatibility issues due to an outdated bios can cause all kinds of problems including the one you have. As this is also an old low-end board better check for an update. When does your pc restart? under load or even in idle? If under load what games did you test?
