Msi99x sli plus upd bios. Missing file

Hello all. Can't get my 2 titans to work in sli so trying to update the bios. Never done this before.
Used the forums program to make an USB.
Added the bios. But it just says missing file something ME. What am I doing wrong? And what bios works good now?
Really close to change motherboard. Had a lot of problems.

Sorry for this my friend.
But in fact this is completely new series, and MSI (and others most likely too) don't have 100% perfect BIOS versions yet. Also I've been noticed that new CPUs has little problems running on X99 series, as it's been a haste when Intel released CPUs. Apparently Intel was meant to release these in 2015..
Wish you good luck, maybe different board will work fine but who knows

Msi sli plus x99 bios long bootup time

Hi,
I have the msi sli plus x99 motherboard and when I start my computer it takes 15seconds to see the bios window (before that there is a black screen)
I have an ssd so it takes me 10 seconds to load windows so the waiting for the computer to start loading it is annoying.
Is there anything that I can do about it?

Try disconnection the SSD and any other peripherals see if it make any change.
What is the BIOS version and what VGA card are you using?

The update file isn't for the EFI update, try to follow the update guide below to do the update.

*Don't forget to change the boot mode to Legacy if you're running Windows 7.
Have you updated any driver which isn't downloaded from MSI website? Try to use the Windows 7 driver downloaded from MSI website and see if the BSOD still remains.
i have spoken with child.of.omen and it turns out his nvidia gpu is broken :/ which is why his windows is throwing blue screen of death on a nvidia .sys file :/ because even when he run 3DMARK once that software is about to use nvidia gpu bam BSOD happens again so it's defently a gpu failure.
So flashing his bios wont probably solve his BSOD problem which i do not think it will.

X99S SLI Plus bad BIOS flash

Hello there,
Tried to go from version 1.3 to a new 1.4. Downloaded and unzipped .rom file. Copied the file to a Corsair usb memory flash drive, restarted the machine to BIOS and through M-Flash tried to reflash it. It found the file on the memory drive, said "the computer will restart in 5 seconds. It did so, started flashing, the progress bar went to 87% and then it just stopped. I let it sit there for an hour thinking that I just bricked a BIOS chip somehow. After restart I got a black screen .. Switched to a another BIOS chip (dual BIOS rock) started a PC normally.
Here is what I tried to do: Reformated the flash drive, redownloaded the 1.4 .rom file. Booted to a working BIOS, then switched to a bad BIOS, selected the .rom file on the memory stick, it said the same thing, 5 sec, reboot .. to a black screen. Tried this a few times. I also tried the Live Update utility in Windows, it reports that BIOS is up to date, while the switch is in bad BIOS, I guess it reads the BIOS info from somewhere before I switch the BIOS.
I bought this mobo with BIOS v 1.1, then using the same method successfully flashed it to 1.2 and 1.3, never touching the BIOS switch.
My question is: is there anything else I could try to recover bad BIOS chip? I dont want to RMA the board because of it, it works, and I can't afford the down time. Thank you for the input.

Overclocking X99S SLI PLUS with XP941

Hello everyone. I'm trying to overclock my CPU and RAM.
My setup is as follow :
X99S SLI PLUS (latest bios 1.6)
5820K
Gskill F4-3000C15Q-16GRR
Samsung XP941 as boot drive
As long as I don't touch the BCLK everything's fine. I can achieve without effort 4.2 Ghz on the core and 3.7 Ghz on the ring.
But Then, my DDR4 is stuck at 2666 Mhz.
As soon as I try to level up the BCLK (even by 1Mhz), the board boots and CPU and RAM are OK but the XP941 isn't seen by the board anymore. It's very strange ! I don't get the link between the 2 : why is the BCLK affecting the PCIe or Sata system ?
So, in these conditions, I cannot achieve the 3000 Mhz possible on my RAM (which would require a 125 Mhz BCLK). It's kinda disappointing.
Is any of you experimenting the same phenomenon ? How can you explain ? Is there a solution ?

OK. So I tried again and took some snapshots.
First, I found a bug with this new 1.6 version of the Bios. Hope it won't crash ... My HDD are not recognized anymore !!
Then I tried to play with the settings. You will see below what the bios gives me as possibilities. Wether I enable or not the XMP profile or select the 200 Mhz or 266 Mhz reference clock, I cannot set the memory to 3000 Mhz !
So to summarize :
I cannot raise the BCLK of the CPU or my M.2 SSD is not recognized anymore and my OS won't load
I cannot set my memory setting to 3000 Mhz whatever setting I'm trying
I found a bug in the new bios version in the list of Harddrives connected to the board
Not a happy week so far ...
DDR4 options with 200 Ref clock (same with XMP enabled) :
DDR4 options with 266 ref clock (same with XMP enabled) :
DDR4 options with Auto ref clock :
DDR4 options with Auto ref clock and XMP :

X99A SLI plus and M.2 not showing up in the BIOS

I just put together my new computer and I'm having trouble with the BIOS settings. When I attempt to set the M.2 as the primary boot drive it doesn't show up as an option. In the system status screen the M.2 / SATA port 5 is saying not present. I verified the SSD I have is on the supported list for this motherboard and have tried removing and reinstalling the drive with no success. Currently the drive shows up in windows when booting off a different hard drive. Does anyone have any idea what is going on with my build?
X99A SLI PLUS (CLICK 4 BIOS v1.7)
Intel i7-5820K
Corsair Vengeance DDR4 4x8GB @ 2666MHZ
Kingston HyperX Predator SHPM2280P2 240GB (Drive in question)
Evea 660 (going to be replaced when the 980 arrives)
BIOS settings:
Peg 1-2 Auto
M.2 Source link in auto
M.2 PCH strap in M.2 PCH PCIe

Windows doesn't recognize it as a bootable drive so it can't be installed on it currently.
Under the BBS section in the BIOS only the other three SATA drives are showing up, not the M2.
I think the BIOS is just not recognizing that there is a drive in the M2 slot for some reason although it is recognized by windows when I boot using a SATA drive.

Starting BIOS first time after build with X99S Sli plus

Is there a tutorial for the basic BIOS set up for this mobo? I want to just set the computer to boot up tfrom my ssd. Is there anything else I have to do in BIOS before I load Windows 8.1? I don't want to get into overclocking, just the basics. Should I try to connect the computer to the internet right after I change the boot drive priority in BIOS? I'm thinking automatic updates to the BIOS via The Web.

If you don't need UEFI win8.1, then no need to change BIOS settings.

If you mean using Live Update to flash your bios, be sure you updated to the latest Live Update version, and before flash the bios, be sure the bios does for your motherboard

MSI sli plus bios update problems

I have an x99 sli plus and was working perfectly untill latest I updated latest bios (1.5 I think). Updated ok restarted but wouldn't post so manual restart. Restarted fine into windows but cpu temp signal was reading way to low. Then I had checked OC setting and found everything was on base clock. Restarted into bios and loaded my saved 24/7 OC, restarted and nothing. Screen not even turning on. Fan is running on low but nothing no post etc. Tried switching to other bios with switch, same result. Heeelllp

Quote from: montanio on 01-January-15, 21:49:11
This sounds like the same problem as mine. I updated from 1.4 -> 1.5 and restored a profile and it refused to boot, no display, fans on.
In my case, the CPU and one stick of RAM fried, I hope your situation ends without dead hardware. I would also like that if MSI takes a look at the profiles system and see if there is some bug with restoring settings across BIOS versions (in my case, profile was created on 1.4).
Hope not but I'm starting to think some hardware has been damaged.
Quote from: Svet on 01-January-15, 22:39:19
think profiles should be used only within the same BIOS version
when you switch to new BIOS, you have to recreate the OC profile and to save it again
remove power cord from the PSU 1st,
then press power button several times, until all lights stop lightning.
then do again >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Did what you suggested no change.
I get what you are saying about the oc profiles, but it was a very mild oc (4.5 at 1.24v and xmp enabled for the ram) and then just fan profiles. Seems insane that would (finger crossed it hasn't) destroy hardware straight away. And if its just that a profile saved in another version of the bios does hardware damage no matter what the settings seems even more crazy.
Thanks for the posts/help guys

MSI X99S SLI Plus - Can't find BIOS setting for enabling VT-x Virtualization

Hello,
I am running the newest BIOS upgrade "MS-7885" released last month on my MSI X99S SLI Plus MB.
I have a Intel 5820K CPU that supports VT-x. I am NOT able to run my VMWare workstation VMs w/o this setting enabled.
I can't find it anywhere in the BIOS settings.
Thanks for the help!

Also you might have to enable Advanced mode within OC section, so note this too.

MSI X99S SLI PLUS boot error A2

I upgraded my PC two weeks ago with the MSI X99S SLI PLUS, an i7 5820, an M.2 SATA SSD and 16Gb of DDR4
I have no problem booting up with the second BIOS (B) but booting into the primary BIOS (A) goes as follows:
Codes 99, 0C, B4, 9c and A2 appear in sequence at which point it freezes
I reset and it goes through the above but gets to the MSI screen where again it freezes (pressing DEL or F11 on the menu screen has no effect)
Reset again and it gets to the Windows screen and freezes before the animated logo starts.
'A' BIOS is updated to 1.2 and uses the Overclockers UK 3.8 overclock profile
'B' BIOS is at stock (1.0 and 3.3GHz)
I did get BIOS A to work for 2 days but after shutting down the PC it failed to boot the next time I switched it on (nothing had been changed either software or hardware).
I understand that A2 indicates a SATA error but I don't understand why BIOS 'B' works OK if that is the case. Surely a hardware error would cause both BIOS to fail.
I haven't yet tried clearing the CMOS as presumably that would delete the Overclockers UK overclock profile. But should that be my next step?
I should mention that under 'Devices and Printers' there is an error indicated at 'PCI bus 0, device 17, function 0' - 'The drivers for this unidentified device are not installed. (Code 28)' Running the Update failed to find a driver for this device (whatever it might be)
The only PCI device that I have attached is the GPU (GTX680OC) which has the latest driver installed.

Regarding Profile that OC has made for you: I believe BIOS is same/similar to Z87/Z97 and you can save profile to USB. But in addition I would just use pen+paper and write down all the OC info they have change (i.e. voltages, RAM timings etc) to be able to revert this if you would clear CMOS.
Also if you could specify more accurately what speeds are RAM currently at, and what is their "stock" speeds sold as (e.g "I have 4x4 Corsair 1600MHz but I run them @1866MHz).
What is the GPU make? MSI/ASUS/EVGA? I suggest you contact this brand regarding possible vBIOS update.
Try using BIOS A while having only Keyboard and Mouse attached. So other USB devices disconnected.
You can safely clear CMOS of B since there's no profile on it right? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also I would contact OC'ers since it's their responsibility to make sure OC profile is stable and safe. Apparently they are meant to test the system for stability. And ask if in case you lose your OC profile, if they will be able to provide info (or BIOS saved file) so you can get it back.
Is this whole system made by them, or you have added something (e.g. SSD or M2 drive) ?

Msi Sli plus and E5-2620v3

Hello
I am Irene,
i am a new member,
i need help please
it's a long story to explain
my desktop is broken.my brother bought a cpu and ddr4 to build a workstation but he had to left and he will back next year.he told me"meanwhile you use this cpu until i come back"
the cpu is
Xeon E5-2620v3 (2011-3)
it's an oversized cpu for me,i don't have a server, don't overcklocking,don't gaming,don't videoediting. but now i have it.
i'm choosing a mobo. i'm thinking to get MSI SLI PLUS. a very simple mobo.but on ,on Intel page and in "CPU support" there is written "Intel Xeon Processor Family is designed for servers. Some features may not support when installed on X99 series chipsets."
what does it mean?
if i put this cpu on this mobo can i install windows 8.1? can i surfing the net (facebook,youtube,instagram),watching movies in streaming, blu ray,using Word?
if i buy this mobo,have i to flash immediately the BIOS before to install cpu or i don't need it
Let me know please
Thanks

This Xeon cpu is supported on X99S SLI Plus out of the box and will work like any other 2011-v3 cpu used on this platform. It just can't be overclocked as it - unlike 5820K/5930K/5960X - does not offer an unlocked core ratio.
Because X99 is a desktop platform it will also not support server technologies like ECC Memory Support that Xeon cpus would support on a Server board. As the desktop 2011-v3 cpus would not support this technologies anyway you won't miss it.

MSI X99S SLI PLUS and XP941 - Booting, but very erratic behavior

I finally got my XP941 to boot in my X99S SLI PLUS using the beta BIOS. I Still can't see it listed as a drive in the system settings, but Windows 8 install sees it just fine, and I can see the "Windows Boot Manager" option available to boot from. Windows is booting just fine now, however it will freeze up for about 3 seconds about every 10 seconds. I used CrystalDiskMark and found that speeds were over 1000MB as expected for sequential reads, but 4KQD32 reads were absolutely abysmal. I can't remember the exact number, but it was around .012 I've seen other reviews of the XP941 showing much higher speeds than this. I think the slow random read performance is causing the machine to lockup and have erratic behavior.
Does anybody have any ideas? or can anyone confirm that their SLI Plus is running this m.2 ssd just fine?
Another note is that I am only using 1 4GB Single Dimm of memory until my real memory kit arrives. Would running just a single dimm cause this?

Quote from: Smalto on 04-October-14, 19:19:01
Hello cbutters, I have the same configuration and I cannot manage to have the XP941 working (MZHPU256HCGL-00000).
The win8.1 setup does see it but after copying the files and rebooting it won't start.
What bios version do you use ? Can you indicate the specific settings you modified in the bios to have it working ?
thanks
Using BIOS 136 from here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=183560.0
Using default BIOS settings to start from, then enabling windows 8/8.1 features and changing it to M.2 PCIe. I didn't touch the SATA Config after loading defaults. (I don't have any memory remapping settings available to me either).
Keep in mind that the device won't show up as a sata device, so don't even bother looking for it. You just have to start installing windows and trust that it will show up.... make sure after initially installing windows 8.1 and first reboot that your first boot option is "Windows Boot Manager". The install was really quick. See my youtube video here:

Random shutdowns X99S SLI Plus, ms-7885

Hello,
I'm trying to narrow down some random shutdowns. These seemed to be completely random and could happen with the computer idling. The computer just shutdowns and reboots. Nothing in the log, no BSOD. I have tried to trigger the problem by running CPU and GPU stresstests without success.
Until wither 3 came out. With witcher 3 the problem is 100% reproducible. Start witcher 3 => shutdown.
I can play other games for hours without any problems.
Can someone give a hint on how to find the problem?

Some updates...
Tried to run with only two memory sticks, no problem with that. Even if I switch one it works. But with three it crashes after I exit witcher 3. Wierd since I can play the game without problem.
Ran some memtests one only one stick in. Only got errors in the "hammer test" which I guess is ok.
Put all four memories in again and ran memtest over the night. It ran one pass and after that the comp shut down and rebooted.
Downclocked memory to 1333 and ran 4 passes memtest without any crash. Some hammer test errors only.
I'm now trying to run at 2200 and it seems fine. I can play witcher and exit without any crash.
Is it the memory or the MB? Or just a bad combo?
