MSI z87I Gaming AC bios update

I was looking on the downloads section of the MSI site for my MOBO (in the title)
us_ msi_com/product/mb/Z87I_GAMING_AC.html#download (I replaced the dots with underscores since it says I can't post links)
It says the latest BIOS is version 1.3. My version is 1.1B4.
I unzipped the downloaded file and loaded it onto a USB drive. When I got into the bios I opened up MFlash and saved my current bios. It was saved as E7887IOB.114
When I went to select the bios file to update it didn't list the new bios file which was E7887IMS.130
Is the file listed on the website incorrect? Is there a new bios version out for my mobo?
Thanks!

If you check the MSI Nightblade webpage and click bios download page, you could select if you are using Windows 7 or Windows8 then you could find the bios there
but note that you could also use AFUDE238 utility to flash the bios under DOS mode..

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.

For reboots you might have to flash to the newest BIOS as this is Haswell refresh and in fact it didn't had to work properly, especially when OC'ed.
i got the newest bios which i can see on http://us.msi.com/product/mb/Z87I_GAMING_AC.html#download is v1.3 so maybe there needs a bios update to deal this problem i have, bcs i can run the chip at stock no problems with anything but when start oc i have this problem and it was annoying >.<
sry for the late reply but been busy these last days...

However if you need BIOS update prior to have some RAM or GPU working fine (or other stuff), then maybe consider updating to 1.6 and then to 1.9 and finally to 1.B (1.11). I suggest using MFlash (files can be downloaded on MSI's product site, instructions should be included). For Forum Flash tool you need proper files provided (usually) by Svet or Flobelix.
Before attempting to flash, make sure your system is stable!
I downloaded BIOS 1,5 and 1,6 and in both cases i have same issue it stucks on 100% on M-Flash, after this I can normaly shut down pc and it work but witch 1.4 BIOS. I just want know whyi can;t
updtate.

How to update my MSI X99S Gaming 7 Bios without loose my raid settings

Hi all,
I've got a MSI X99S Gaming 7 Motherboard.
Last time I used MSI Live Update and I performed BIOS update I lost totally my raid settings ( O.S. HardDisk C is build on my raid 1) and I had to reinstall all from 0. Now MSI Live Update notified me a new BIOS version available, is there a way to perform it without lost my C Drive one more time?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Quote from: JLio01 on 03-March-15, 09:17:09
The only settings should do is after BIOS updating, go the BIOS Settings--Advanced--Integrated Peripherals--SATA Mode switch to [RAID Mode], and everything should be fine.
Yes exactly, that's usually and typically which has to be done.
But with some note there are an exceptions from this:
in the past there was some BIOSes due bugs which caused RAID array lost issue after flashing,
assume raid was re-enabled after the update,
but RAID array was lost(didn't recognize the settings) and didn't show and unable to rebuild..
so its always good to have a backup of important data just in case..
don't trust too much to technology

[X99S Gaming 7] Bios update H80 no ME

Hi everybody, after updating the BIOS on my X99S gaming 7 motheboard and installed the lastest Intel ME driver (under Windows 8.1 Pro 64 bit) I am no longer able to run any application like Intel Extreme Utility or MSI Gaming App.
Command Center isn't working too.
It looks like ME driver were missing during the H80 BIOS update.
Any idea?

Reflash it with the following:
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
A.) Download >>this<< 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_me10_mb.zip

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!

Z87M Gaming Mobo - BIOS Update and now won't post

Hello all...
Firstly I have had a read through the messages here and it is looking like I may have damaged the board by attempting a BIOS update using the update tool in the BIOS!?
Anyhow here is what happened......
I setup my system below and everything was booting happily with no problems at all.
I could not seem to get my SSD to be recognised by the mobo (windows install could see the SSD but could not install OS as mobo controller did not recognise it). I downloaded the 1.2 version of the mobo BIOS, extracted this to USB drive and used the update feature in the BIOS to flash.
I selected the option for BIOS and Management Engine and the BIOS upgrade reported successfully flashed. The PC re-stared successfully a couple of times but on 1 boot it said it was updating or flashing the Management Engine, a percentage bar completed and that was the last time the PC booted successfully.
I have tried clearing the CMOS using the CMOS clear button and the CMOS jumper but this has made no difference.
The power is there and the PC switches on but it wont post and is showing nothing on the debug LED's.
I have tried removing all components but same outcome.
The PSU is brand new and the fact that everything was working fine before the flash update (including the Gskill RAM btw) I feel the flash has caused this.
However, I would very much appreciate some advice from some experienced MSI mobo users
Thanks

Quote from: Svet on 26-May-14, 20:53:16
remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< again
then try to boot with barabone setup
I did try this with just the board and nothing, no post at all :(

MSI Big Bang 2 Bios Update

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).
