Try a hard reset, works sometimes.Disconnect all external devices first.
1-remove power cord and battery
2-press power button for 30 seconds
3-reinstall only power cord for first startup.
4-power on
******Clicking the Thumbs-Up button is a way to say -Thanks!.******

  • Equium A110-276: Do I need to update BIOS when Vista was installed?

    I do know where to post this...
    "I have clean installation of Windows Vista on my Equium A110-276. Do I need to update the BIOS or not? Does Updating BIOS Compulsory/mandatory?

    Hi
    It seems Toshiba has published a special version of BIOS for Windows Vista.
    If you want you can check it on the Toshiba driver page.
    But if your Vista runs correctly on the notebook with previous BIOS version you dont need to update the BIOS.
    I would recommend updating the BIOS if any strange operational behavior will appear.

  • Need to update Bios ? n100 Model

    Can anyone tell me how to update the Bios on my computer.
    I have tried to load the new Bios according to the Lenovo site but it will not take.
    Computer is the 3000 N100  0768 A49
    I have downloaded it to the desktop, then run the setup with the wizard then it is telling me it made a file.
    After checking the Bios it has never changed and is the same old 63ET62WW V1.08 version.
    Also, can you tell me how to eliminate the need for a password on Vista Business.  I do not want to log on every time it boots up or goes into sleep mode.
    Thank you

    You need to go to the folder created by the downloaded program and run the bios update.
    Read the Installation Instructions on THIS page!
    Always use caution when updating bios.
    As to password, go to Control Panel, Users and Groups and change your
    password to a blank. (delete existing password.)
    And Screensaver settings, uncheck Require a Password...

  • Qosmio F50 - Need to update BIOS in order of installing Win7-64bit

    Dear community,
    I plan to update to Windows 7 64 bit. My notebook is Toshiba Qosmio F50-10M with a preinstalled VISTA32bit.
    Is there a need to update the BIOS prior installing the new OS? I read that there is a BIOS update f?¼r VISTA64bit available but none I discovered for Win7 64bit.
    Can you give a clue?
    I am confident and glad to own such a powerful notebook but this not completed OS named VISTA is driving me nuts increasingly reading all those nice reports concerning the benefits of Windows7!
    Eager to read your welcomed responses
    Yours,
    Starmind

    Thank you for anwering Paolo!
    Do I understand the right way? I shouldn´t change BIOS if I don´t encounter any problems?
    But I should change the BIOS from 32 to 64 bit if I install the 64bit version of Win7? I intend to do so as I plan to use the full memory of my machine (I use VISTA32 at the moment).
    I should change the BIOS prior installing Win7 as I understood as posted earlier?
    Thank your for your kind assistance!

  • CPU upgrade - do I need to update bios??

    I got a KT3 Ultra 2 6380E mobo with Bios V5.60 and I want to put in a AMB 2600+ Barton (333)
    Do I need to update my bios to V5.70???
    I dont really want to flash it unless I have to - On the MSI bios update monitor it aint clear if V5.60 supports the 'batron' 2600 as well as the normal XP 2600 cpu
    And a little second point about clearning CMOS - again is this needed when upgradeing CPUs? - Can I damage anything if I aint got the correst Bios or not cleared the CMOS ??
    Thanks

  • Z87-GD65 - Need help updating BIOS, might've bricked

    I recently tried to flash/update my motherboard and I think I might've bricked it. Could somebody confirm and tell me what I should do?
    I have the MSI Z87-GD65 Motherboard with an Intel i5 4690k.
    My BIOS was an older version and I needed to update to support Haswell refresh. This is what happened:
    I downloaded the latest BIOS update from the MSI website, extracted the files to a USB. I plugged that in and updated the BIOS through the MFLASH feature in the MSI BIOS. I updated the MSI BIOS & ME with the USB and I think the updating got to around 30-40% before the screen went black then after a little bit I got back to the BIOS menu. I checked the version and confirmed that the BIOS was updated to the latest version.
    Thereafter I restarted my computer a few times and noticed that it took a little longer for the system to get to the prompt to enter "DEL" to get to BIOS compared to the first time when I booted my computer. Everything else seemed fine so I went ahead and turned off the computer again and removed the USB and replaced it with another USB to install Windows. Then as the computer booted I see an screen that shows the BIOS and ME is updating from 30%-100% then my screen went black. Now when I turn on the computer it remains black but the system powers on/fans work.
    I looked up several sources to make sure I was flashing the MOBO correctly and I followed all the directions I found through MSI.
    I pretty much followed the instructions here exactly:
    Also I think my motherboard comes with a back-up BIOS. Is that a viable option to switch to? Are there any difference, how does it work? Also would resetting the CMOS do anything? I've been trying to figure out how I can fix the problem without having to RMA but was hoping to get some more knowledgeable advice before doing anything.
    Thanks!

    1. Could you elaborate on step D? How do I make sure legacy USB is enabled?
    Enter bios -> Integrated periphals and check the USB settings.
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    2. In step F, do I have to flip the switch to BIOS B on my motherboard then boot the computer with the USB plugged in?
    You should already be at the working bios (b) so there should be no need for switching. But of course boot from the good bios.
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    3. Step G: How do I switch back to the bad BIOS without restart/powering down? Do I flip the switch on the motherboard to BIOS A while the computer is still on?
    Yes, you switch to the bad bios WITHOUT restarting or turning off while the machine is running.
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    4. Step H: Will the directions be on a prompter once I switch to the bad BIOS or are there some directions online I'm missing?
    Once you switched nothing will change for you. You will have the options from the MSI USB tool youbooted from the stick we prepared earlier. There you select the number of the flash option
    Quote from: danielsuh on 29-March-15, 07:31:59
    Thank you so much!
    I have a few clarification questions.. just for reference this is all for a new PC I just built and doesn't have any OS installed:
    5. Step I: What exactly is the ME drivers? When I originally tried to flash the drive there were two options: Update BIOS and Update BIOS & Me. So after I flash the 1B BIOS, I install windows as normal then once I get to the desktop I install the ME drivers in the link, right?
    Right. What comes with the bios is the ME firmware (hardware level) but in Windows you also need to install the driver (software level). Therefor you install the driver linked after all went fine and you are back in Windows.

  • DPC Latency issue, need to update BIOS?

    I'm into recording music and latency is of great importance. I did a DPC latency check and noticed I was getting some major peaks, constantly. I tried everything, removing sound card, disabling drivers, etc, etc and nothing works. Then I did a google search and found this: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=125206.0
    I have...
    Model name: 7519 v1.0
    M/B ERP Version: 06
    I have NEVER flashed BIOS before and have no idea how to do it. I don't even have a floppy drive. I really need to fix this latency issue though, otherwise I will have to buy a new computer :(
    Can someone help me? I sent en inquiry to the support, but did not get a reply.
    Thank you.

    Quote from: Jack on 29-March-11, 00:00:44
    What is the model name of your mainboard?  There are many MS-7519 mainboards with different PCB and ERP numbers (your ERP number is incomplete, there must be three digits):
    http://eu.msi.com/service/search/?kw=7519&type=product
    The best way to approach this, is to check your current BIOS Version as displayed on the P.O.S.T. Status Screen:
    Write down the full BIOS ID String as it appears in the red box in the example picture.  When we know the BIOS Version, it is possible to check whether or not there is Latency Fix for your board out there or not.

  • [URGENT] Need Help Updateing BIOS

    well my concern is recently purchased  Lenovo G580 (2689)
    my BIOS version is  62CN41WW, 10-09-12
    I want to flash the BIOS kindly somebody help me to geta detailed procedure for flashing the BIOS
    Any help would be highly appriciated
    And if so is it possible to Remove the exiting the Pheonix BIOS and Flash it and Install Insyde BIOS??....kindly help me

    hi Abinash,
    You can follow this article on how to safely flash the BIOS.
    As for modifying the BIOS, you can only update the BIOS that came with the PC. If you flash it with a different type (i.e. Phoenix BIOS to Insyde BIOS, you might end-up corrupting the CMOS settings rendering the computer unsuable.
    It maybe possible though to modify BIOS files using different tools as discussed in this thread.
    Hope this helps.

  • Qosmio G30 PQG31E - No XP 32 drivers? Can't update BIOS?

    As usual, got a laptop but no recovery CD's :(
    Got XP 32 installed (my Microsoft contract doesn't provide MCE) but lots of drivers missing. Toshiba driver page only has all drivers for XP MCE, XP 32 only has BIOS update, Bluetooth, HD-DVD firmwares, virtual sound and WI-FI drivers!
    So I tought "Vista on it", but as I checked compatibility within XP with Vista DVD I got a "need to update BIOS" (still has 1.40 - 2006/03/10)!
    My problem is that BIOS update always returns "This computer is not supported"! Laptop only has one account, so it's not permissions issue, maybe because lots of drivers are missing? Should I update BIOS in safe mode?
    What now? Am I stuck with a Qosmio brick? Without LAN controllers to say the least I can't get nothing done! Will XP MCE drivers work on XP 32?
    Any thoughts?

    Friend of mine has Qosmio g30-189 (PQG31E) and WLAn card is Intel.
    THIS must be the right driver.
    Have you tried to install it in the past?

  • Do I need to Update my Bios for H61m-p21?

    Hi I'm planning on buying the Gigabyte Windforce GTX 760 by January. I use a h61m-p21 motherboard. In order to use the gpu, would I need to update my motherboard's bios? I really don't feel up to it cause it seems like such a hassle.

    Attached is the most recent mass production release.
    >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
    Download the attached archive to your desktop and insert a fat32 formatted usb stick.
    (Do not decompress the archive)
    Start the forum flash tool and select option1 then point it at the downloaded compressed archive.
    Then point it at the usb stick.
    When complete boot to the USB stick and follow the on screen prompts.
    You will need to re-install the intel chipset and ME drivers when complete.

  • Blue screen of death after hardware upgrade - do I need updated BIOS?

    I've upgraded my processor & double my memory and am aware that I need to put in a more powerful PSU (see seperate post on Seasonic PSUs).
    However, I've also had a couple of Stop Errors and when I restart the machine and go through error reporting, Microsoft OCA tells me that my BIOS may not be compatible with the processor (new one is P4 3.2ghz, 800mhz FSB, 1mb L2 cache)
    So... do I need to update the BIOS too, and if so, what is the best way to do it?
    I've read various posts about the dangers of using the Windows application that MSI supplies. How do I go about doing it via DOS? (I'm a bit of a novice here so will need it spelling out in terms a really dumb idiot can understand).
    any advice gratefully received.

    The 875P ( PCB 2) have native Prescott cpu support.
    However, the cpu id - to correctly recognize differant cpu models - are being updated by bios.
    Suggest you update to the latest biosversion ( 3.6 ) to cover all avaible socket 478 cpu models.
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=554&kind=1
    PS_Edit_Looking at your sign., it looks like you have PCB1 MoBo and then it this bios you should use.:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/bios/bos/spt_bos_detail.php?UID=434&kind=1
    Read this how to update bios from DOS ( update bios only if your system is stable )
    Also set memory voltage in bios to 2.7v.

    I would also do a clean HDD format / WinXP sp1 installation, after you´ve changed hardware.

  • H61MU-E35 (B3) Updating BIOS....File Not Found Error

    I have MSI H61MU-E35 (B3) Motherboard with Intel i3 CPU.
    I downloaded latest BIOS File  7680vC3.zip (on web page it's says Version: 12.3 from  -> -www.msi.com/support/mb/H61MUE35_B3.html#down-bios
    Using Windows XP OS  From 7680vC3.zip => Extracted E7680vC3.exe  => Placed on USB Drive (I did not format USB Pendrive, and used by just making it empty by deleting files) ==>  Ran this exe file on the computer where this motherboard is....
    Inside Windows XP, when BIOS Update process started, In a green window, it shown me current BIOS old version and  New Version side by side.  (I did not given much attention to notedown from which number to which number it's updating).
    In Windows XP after BIOS Process completed, it restarted computer (I kept USB File as it in the computer as I had read that, I have to keep USB in computer after restart).
    When computer restarted...nothing came on the screen and just blank screen for long time and on the right side on screen bottom corner only letter like: A2 stayed for long long time.  I waited for 15 minutes but nothing was happening except blank screen...
    So, I restarted computer....and kept USB as it is in the computer....but Nothing comes on the screen...
    After I concluded that, something is wrong, to resolve the issue...
    --- What Try and Experiments I have done  ----------------------------------------------------------------
    (1) I placed Restarted computer without USB: and Message comes on the screen is:
    BIOS Update is not yet completed, please insert the USB pen drive  and reset system.
    (2) I refered some forums, and also contacted MSI Support. As suggested, I formatted USB Drive with FAT32 and placed  E7680IMS.C30  file (only one file) on USB placed in computer and started computer.. Now Message is coming:
    Updating BIOS...... File Not Found..
    Note that: E7680IMS.C30  File was given to me by MSI Support Staff as I did not kept Original files during formatting USB PenDrive.
    But computer is not looking for .C30 Rom File, Computer is looking for .BIN File
    (3) I have remove the battery and waited for 5 min. and placed again, to reset BIOS, but not difference on result or on message...
    Renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to EIVB.BIN
    Result: Just Blank Screen with A2 text on right side bottom corner, No other message
    In some other same issue post, they recommand to change ROM File name to: EIVB.BIN which worked for others, so I also tried and renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to EIVB.BIN, in this case, I was able recreate original Issue:  When computer boots, Screen stays completely Blank, and on the right side bottom corner, only 2 digit tect comes is: A2. Computer does not give any other message and nothing happens...even I waited for 30 minutes...
    Also, by looking at USB Pendrive light, I can tell that, motherboard is reading file on the Pen Drive...
    Renamed: file E7680IMS.C30 to E7680IMS.BIN
    Result: Message comes on the screen: Updating BIOS...... File Not Found..
    (5) What I am thinking is:  When motherboard power-ups, it's giving me two different type of Valid message based on if USB is in the computer or not, based on if file name is .BIN or not, so I believe motherboard is still not dead and there are hope to feed the file which motherboard is looking for. But issue how to find what specific file which it's looking for... Even sometime I have seen at screen right side bottom area, 2 Digit numbers are changing just like system is doing internal healthcheck before booting up...
    (6) Note that, I would like to put old version file on USB to feed, but one of the biggest issue with MSI is, once you download EXE from their website, to Extract EXE file content it needs to be run on the same motherboard computer, so in my case, if your motherboard is not in bootable cituation then you can not extract any other BIOS File to try...
    Please help me...by havin this computer down....I am suffering everyday...
    (By profession, I am electronics Engineer and have worked with programming Microcontroller and bootloaders, but in this case, I do not have SPI Programmer to program BIOS chip externally.)

    Thank you flobelix  and Nichrome.
    Quick Result Summary:  128MB USB Key formatted FAT32 with HP Tool, made MS-Dos Bootable and placed EIVB.BIN file given by  flobelix, but final result is: Screen comes Blank and only shows "A0" Code at right side bottom corner. nothing else.
    Detail
    Since Flobelix proviced ROM BIN File, I was too exicited to try it out and here is what I did...
    (1) As per Nichrome link for HP USB Format Tool, I installed it on "Win XP" machine, and formatted 128MB USB key by selecting "FAT32" and selected option to make "MS-DOS Bootable" and shown Win98 source files as per the instruction.
    -128MB USB drive made bootable with FAT32.
    (2) I downloaded EIVB.rar given by flobelix and extracted and copied EIVB.BIN file on USB root.
    Inserted USB in MSI and powered up...
    As soon as I give power:  Imidiately one normal beep and Screen comes completly Dark Blank. No message about "File not found".  only at right side bottom of screen, it shows "A0".
    I inserted USB key in each and every USB slot, but result is same: Screen stays Blank and on right side corner only "A0" letter.
    I given around 3-5 minutes time to see something changes on screen, but no change.
    - If I power-up computer without connecting any USB Drive: then message comes on screen that: Bios Update has not completed, please insert USB Key and Reset System.
    - On USB Key, If I put ROM File with any other name (except EIVB.BIN) then Message comes:  Updating BIOS... File Not Found...
    - I have removed battery to give a try for resetting BIOS, but not change.
    Question:
    (1) Is it possible that, motherboard is looking for specific version of File or some different version of file ? and just staying silent and not complaining for existing EIVB.BIN ?
    Here is I experiment:  I simply created empty text file (0 Byte) on USB Drive and given name EIVB.BIN  and booted up computer and same result: Blank Screen and just "A0" on right side bottom corner.
    So, it tells me that, when power is given, the program which executes in motherboard for BIOS, it is not able to identify real or fake EIVB.BIN.  I think, it's looking for some specific file and when not found, it's getting confuse on what to do....and not saying anything on the screen....
    Has anyone old version BIN file of H61MU-E35 (B3)  ?
    Is there any trick so I can download older version Packaged EXE from MSI website and extract it ? I can give a try....
