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

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

  • URGENT HELP: PC can't post after Bios Update on MSI NX6600GT-VTD128

    The LiveBIOS utility on my PC showed that there was an updated BIOS of my MSI NX6600GT-VTD128 that I was using and I proceeded to update using the facility.
    Everything seem fine until the system was rebooted, now the system refuse to post. All I see when I power on the system is a moment of power (e.g. I can see the lights on my keyboard and card reader), before they also disappear.
    My system is a P4 2.4 Northwood running on a MSI 875P.  I had already cleared the CMOS on my motherboard but it didn't help.  I would appreciate greatly for any advice.

    Common mistake.
    Unfortunately, the cure is likely to be painful.
    Did you disable your Antivirus and Firwall before doing such a thing?
    Video cards aren't like motherboards, and just updating for the simple fact that it's available is wrong regarding BIOS's for anything.
    You should have a specific reason to do so.
    Now, did you backup your old BIOS?
    You may need to contact MSI directly to get the original BIOS and use a PCI video card so you can boot and see what you are doing to reflash your AGP card.
    How to contact MSI.
    Thanks for the advice.  And you are right, the cure is painful, particularly, when I didn't back up the old BIOS and neither do I have a PCI graphics card lying around.
    I did deactivated my antivirus whilst flashing, and there was no firewall running.

  • MSI z87 G43 OC GENIE ISSUE/Bios UPDATE

    Hi Everyone, This is my First time posting to the forums.
    Here Are my System Specs Before I post the question
    Motherboard: msi z87 g43
    CPU: intel core i7 4770k (haswell)
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance Ram ddr3 clocked at 1333mhz, 16gb, using 4 4gb sticks.
    GPU: evga gtx 770 nvidia
    PSU: Bronze certified psu at around 850 watt.
    CPU COOLER: is a standard corsair single radiator water cooler
    QUESTION/PROBLEM:
    Ive had this computer built for about a year (basically right when the gtx 770 released). I have no problems with the device and it works perfectly. The motherboard however is where my problems starts to arise. I tried my hand at overclocking but ended up with a blue screen after some stress testing and just set my values back to default. But since then I really havent tried anything new with it. However, I noticed OC genie and I thought hey maybe Ill try this out for a chance. So I boot up and go into the bios set up (all values are default) and press the oc genie.As soon as the screen flashed back up I get a black screen and can not post. The only way to actaully fix this is to reset my CMOS which luckily I know how to do. But the black screen displayed also had a number letter combo at the bottom. It displayed 9C at the bottom in white. But when I get a successfull boot into the bios right beofre the bios logo I get a black screen with A2. But the A2 appears in every boot. Now heres where things get funky. I have a logitech Camera I use primarily for skype. When I have the device plugged in before the computer is booted. When I try to boot I get the black screen with the 9C, but when I unplug and reboot, I get the A2 and I get into my OS.
    Now I tried overclocking again at 46 multiplyer with a 1.2v but When I did I get text saying its not successfull and resets my bios info, (which is cool considering oc genie didnt do this it just corrupts my CMOS).
    So you must all be asking what version of the bios I have and the answer is 1.0....
    Now I know there is a 1.9 and even a 1.A version which came out this year in 2014
    The problem with this however is I know the dangers of flashing my bios and it can really screw up my mobo as in brick the darn thing. But from what I read, Live update form msi does not work and I shouldnt use it. But Is flashing the bios via the bios set up where there is a section specifically for flashing safe to do? With the oc genie not working im scared to try flashing my bios via the bios setup if that makes any sense
    To wrap it up, is it a problem with my mobo, do I need to update my bios to fix it? If yes then what is the safest way of doing it since ive never done a bios update before (but i get the concept put the up date on a FAT 32 load it from it in the bios set up option let it do its thing and boom ) .

    The method above does NOT apply to your board. Either use MFlash (bios + ME option) or use the below:
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
         A.) Download the attached archive (E7816IMS_1A0.rar.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

  • K9A Platinum no longer posting after bios update

    I recently upgraded my computer to the specs below, and vista ultimate wouldn't start up (In safe mode it would freeze on checkdisk). I tried some of the solutions I found here (unplugging IDEs, etc) to no avail, and finally I decided to flash the BIOS and upgrade it to the most recent version (1.5). It worked once after restart (sor of, it froze on checkdisk again) but on subsiquent boots it no longer posts! Help please, I need my desktop!

    Okay, i'm able to get into vista with four gigs, six gigs causes it to reset at crcdisk.sys, and it seems to boot with 8. It seems that some setting got tripped in the BIOS update, Looks like this was some spirit of spontaneity prevalent in so many computers. Thanks for the help!
    you are welcome, next time please do not touch the BIOS when everythink is working fine. and don't update BIOS only because its a new one.. read here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=103441.0
    also 1.5 are known as problematic one for most of K9A owners...
    "Okay, i'm able to get into vista with four gigs, six gigs causes it to reset at crcdisk.sys, and it seems to boot with 8."
    that is normal, issues can be expected when using 3 memory sticks. recommended are 2 memory sticks, other working combination 1 or 4 memory sticks.(but 3 memory sticks are not recommended.)
    also its a good idea to check memory for errors with Memtest86, to ensure that they are working correctly without errors.

  • G530-4446-24U takes FOREVER to POST after BIOS update

    Hey,
    I just installed Win7 Pro 64-bit a couple of hours ago and lost the ability to adjust my screen brightness.  After installing chipset and power management drivers I still had no luck.  So I updated the BIOS with this file. 
    Now it all works well once I'm booted into Win7, but it takes a very long time to POST when I push the power button.  I haven't timed it, but it seems to be over 60 seconds before I have anything displayed on my screen.  When it does start POST, it works fine at the expected speed.  It also restarts when attempting to wake from sleep, and the same problem as mentioned above applies as it must POST again.
    Is there a more appropriate BIOS update for my machine, or is this a terrible bug that must be worked out?
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I couldnt flash either from Windows 7 pro x64. I ended up using BartsPE to run the flashing program. I dont have the speed issue, it boots up with the same speed it always did. you should make sure you used the right BIOS. i had the problem once, but it seems to be working now. I still havent gotten the Brightness to work though.
    as for the "Cannot load driver C:\Drivers\BIOS\6get18ww\PHLASHNT.SYS.  Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator privilige, please login again! This driver has been blocked from loadingError code: 1275"  message, this is because it uses a 32 bit driver. You cant use these drivers under 64 bit. my solution worked really well. if you  want to use and need help configuring the PE, i can help.

  • Satellite A100-TA7 hangs at POST after BIOS update

    Being kind of tech swavy, i know my chances are very low in fixing this but here goes.
    I decided to update the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite A100-TA7(PSAA8C-TA702C) laptop to the latest version available (6.00).
    I did this because I've heard of people have better luck in making their FN keys work in linux with the newer BIOS.
    The installation finished normally(went through all the steps, wrote all 21 blocks) without any errors but after rebooting I noticed that it now hangs at the Toshiba logo screen.
    The blue progress bar moves twice but then gets stuck about 1/3 of the way through.
    In order to see how bad the damage was, I pressed esc at the beginning of POST and saw that it gives me the right BIOS Version (6.00).
    It also tells me that "No TPM or TPM has problem", and "2039M System RAM Passed."
    It then displays the message "Press <F2> to enter SETUP" (which makes the message disappear, but otherwise does nothing.
    If i press f2 during the Toshiba logo screen, it replaces the message at the bottom with "Please wait" and nothing happens even after waiting an hour.
    (Which makes sense because before the whole blue bar would load before going into the CMOS settings). The thing is that the BIOS doesn't really "freeze", It just gets stuck at one specific place (I know this because i can press F2 even after waiting an hour and the laptop does respond to it by displaying "Please Wait".
    Anyone have any more things i could try? Thank you
    PS. I tried clearing the CMOS too. (By holding the power button for like 60 seconds without any power source <--- I'm not sure if this is how you do it on this laptop so any info would be nice). And I'm also 100% sure i chose the right BIOS update and followed every single instruction.

    Hello Greg
    I am very happy to hear you have solved this BIOS issue but I must react because of some your statements here. I do not have timet to do some research but let us write about some facts. I use Toshiba notebooks over 10 years now and I think I can say that I am pretty experienced with all this stuff.
    Toshiba sold hundred thousand laptops and I can really not imagine that this can be some common problem because, I presume, all offered stuff on download page is tested. If 0.5% cases are the same it does not mean there is general problem. What you think how many people use the same BIOS update as you? I guess thousands of them.
    About Linux support I can say the same as Eldorado. Sorry but I am afraid you do not understand what the support is. Just some facts:
    Toshiba does not offer drivers for Linux OS
    Toshiba does not offer tools and utilities for Linux
    Toshiba does not offer BIOS for Linux
    Toshiba does not test anything relevant for Linux functionality (very important for support)
    With short words: there is nothing for Linux. If you can install Linux successfully and use it without problems you are very lucky guy and be happy, but there is definitely no support.
    If you exchange experiences with other people it is really good and you should do this in the future but if you hear something and later something goes wrong it is your problem.
    At the end I can say that this is user-to-user forum and you should be happy if someone here want to discuss about your problem and try to help. If you are not satisfied with comments or opinions it is your problem and if you want professional opinion you know very well where you can get it.
    Have a nice day.

    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.

  • 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?

    Quote
    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.
    Quote
    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.

  • Re: Satellite A135-S7403 does not pass POST after BIOS update

    Hello
    I have A135-S7403, i know that it's old but i worked good until i install a new Bios version (1.90 for Satellite A130 (PSAD0U/PSAD3U) from the official Toshiba site(here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=DL&os=&category=&moid=1854878& rpn=PSAD0U&modelFilter=&selCategory=3&selFamily=10 73768663).
    Everything installed without any problems but when i restart laptop it doesn't start.
    It freezes on screen with red inscription "In touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA" and i can do nothing.
    What should i do? And why this official update broke down my computer?

    Sounds like I'm having exactly that problem. Today I update the Bios of A135-S4477 with the official update download from toshiba support. Things works fine and the screen says smt like "sucessful... your pc will shutdown in 10 seconds" then I saw a small popup says smt like "if the keyboard or mouse doesn't work.... bla bla bla" I doesn't finish my reading when the whole system goes off but I think everything is ok at that time.
    When I try booting up the system. It's freezed at the "in touch with toshiba". F2 or F12 cannot function. I had no choice but brought that to the local service, unfortunately they cannot fix it and they have to send it to another center in another city. Actually I don't know what happen to my laptop since I did follow the instruction of the official download. What are the cases that can happen? what is the worst case and what about the best case? how much will I be charged?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

  • MSI Z87 G41 PC MATE GRAPHICS CARD ISSUE

    Hey gus,
    Yesterday I put together a new build, however I can only get integrated video to output to the monitor and not my discrete GPU. I have updated the bios to 1.4 from 1.2, made sure the GPU in question works (by trying on another machine) tried different cables etc etc. When I go into the BIOS I see there are two options for PEG and IGD modes. Default is PEG which is what it should be set to I would think. If anyone knows a fix for this issue please help! Thanks!

    which version it is exactly?
    and have you flashed to this version when you got the board?
    If so do you include BIOS+ME Update? [required] not sure the bios file was just downloaded and then flashed in the bios via USB. does the MSI bios include the +me as standard?
    bios was updated because we believed that was the issue but same problem. the bios version is
    how many sticks are they?
    have you tried with 1 memory stick only? then to see if reboot issue will persist
    only 1 x 8 gb stick so not an option unfortunately
    you mean CL11? yes sorry
    its weird when the computer is up and running its fine just doesn't reboot

  • How far do the MSI z87-G41's OC capabilities extend?

    First off; hi! I'm new here, but not to forums or PC hardware. I'm active over at anandtech and THG, and some gaming forums.
    My question relates to my brand new MSI z87-G41 PC Mate. I'm a bit new to overclocking but not without a clue, however I just can not get the motherboard to let me change any voltage or multiplier settings.
    Main Board: MSI z87-G41
    Bios Version: Don't know. One that came in the box.
    Video Card: PNY GTX 770@1332Mhz

    Memory: OEM 8GB (4x2GB) 1333Mhz 9CAS
    SSD/ HDD: OEM Seagate 1.5TB 7200rpm. 4 years old
    CPU COOLER: NZXT respire T40
    Any Additional hardware plugged into your system: NAXT sentry 2 fan controller, OEM DVD burner, netgear w900 USB wi-fi stick
    OC: Attempting
    Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
    I am trying to increase the voltage just a tad as I am game stable at 4.2Ghz but not p95 or F@H stable. (stock 1.12v) I have a good cooler and voltage is low so I am looking to push to ~4.4-4.6Ghz. I'd been adjusting with the Intel Tuning Utility to get it to 4.2, but it doesn't change voltage.
    TIA
    EDIT: Oh. Looks like this belongs in overclocking. :|
    EDIT2: Well don't I look stupid. I needed to use numpad +/- and not the ones near the 0 and backspace.  Nevermind then!

    I tried multiple version of CCC, including old one and the new beta one, not one of them is working.
    The card does show in the device manager but in a strange way : it is called in safe mod "Standard VGA" but if you follow those instructions :

    Hello Mr. Sil3nt,
    Thank you for your post. It is best to get your drivers from the hardware manufacturer, have you tried going to www.... ? You will need to know the make/model of your card in order to get the appropriate driver for your device. To do this, try the following:
    Click 'Start' > Right-click 'Computer' > Select 'Manage'
    Click 'Device Manager'
    In the right pane, expand 'Display Adapters'
    Below, you should see your video card, it may say 'Standard VGA'
    Right-click this device and select 'Properties'
    Select the 'Details' tab and scroll the bar to 'Hardware ID's'
    You can then copy this info and put it into a web search that should yield results for your video card type.
    From there, you can go to nvidia's website and download/install the latest driver for your card and operating system. Please let us know if this did or didn't help to resolve your problem.
    Cheers

    Anyway, after BIOS update you should load the default settings in BIOS.
    Did you choose the right BIOS especially for your model?
