NEW BIOS MSI ECLPISE SLI 7520v1A is a real BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just tested new bios 7520v1A that is offered in the live update.
I also tested the beta versions of this bios and they where also bad.
Tested it with windows7 64bit and Vista 64 bit .
Windows won't load it just hangs on the start up screen.
If i resetted windows asked me to restore system because of hardware changes.
I went back to bios 7520v190 and problem solved , windows started normal.
So don't flash to the new bios , i raised the issue to MSI today so when i got the answer i will let you know what the response is to this problem.

Look at the reply i got from Msi ,
 Dear Toms,
Sorry for any inconvenience. We tested your issue but we could not duplicate same problem, and please refer to our test configurations:
MB: 7520-010
Bios version: 1.a
CPU: i7 860
VGA: 2pcs N280GTX for SLI
Memory: PQI DDR3 1066 2GB (PQI38500-2048DB)
OS: win7 64bit
Now you said that you could reflash bios to version 1.9, so please continue this. If you still feel uncomfortable for this, you can contact your reseller to ask for a help.
Best regards,
MSI Technical Support Team

Noticed the core i7 860 , and 2GB ddr3 dual channel.
I clearly told them what motherboard i 'm using , here is my post to msi
 I checked , there is no sticker on the pci slots , but there is one yellow that says 010 i believe this is the ERP ( i include a picture) and the ECN=01.
So ERP=010 / ECN=01
I tried with one gtx280 and everything worked fine with bios 7520v1A. The moment i put the second gtx 280 in ,the problem returned.To let my sli work i need to go back to bios 7520v190.
Full detail of my system you find here http://www.guru3d.com/article/guru3d-rig-of-the-month-october-2009/ and the new one with water cooling here http://www.hardware.info/nl-NL/usersys/cnFxYp1hk2Sd/view/
Th link to the forum = https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=132469.0
and here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=129919.40
So it seems that it has got something to do with sli. Hope you can fix it.
I like my msi eclipse board and my 2x gtx 280 MSI super oc gpu's.

  • Where is that new BIOS MSI?

    I wish you hadn't said anything about the release date Bas  . I can't sit still over here .

    I have been lucky to be a beta user for testing the new bios version 1.25 but i dont recomend it. I have now gone back to version 1.10 as the other has sadly some strange readouts in temps and stability.
    1. The vcore is added but still it does not work OK if you enable coolnquiet, because if
    then you will end up with a 800mhz cpu in windows even if you have not enbled coolnquiet inside windows.
    2. The tempreadouts is way to high, it jumps up from my 37c to 46c instead. It could be that they have throttled the tempreadings but i dont thinks so as the cpufan is still as cold as before.
    3. After playing around with this bios for some weeks i have discovered at first some
    performance gain but this probarly was a user error i dont know to 100% yet. Anyway as the new bios heats my cpu my performance drops after some hours of rendering or playing 3d games. This is when comparing the old bios with this beta.
    4. Also to all who plans to hígher the vcore, you will probarly need a SUPER cooler to cool this baby down as the heat was really high only after highering it 0.5 step. But it could be a bios error i dont know. Lets give them time to complete the bios so it works 100%
    BTW.
    YOU DONT NEED TO HIGHER THE VCORE TO GIVE A PERFOMANCE GAIN WITH YOUR FSB ON THE MSI BOARD. BUT YOU NEED SOM GOOD RAMS TO MAKE IT RUN STABLE.
    I RUN 100% STABLE WITH 2200MHZ THATS A 200MHZ OF INCREASE. THATS A GREAT INCREASE OF PERFORMANCE.
    I RECOMEND ((CORSAIR XMS PRO 3200LL)) NOTE! ONLY THESE RAMS AS I HAVE NOT ANY GOOD RESULTS WITH OTHERS. DONT FORGET TO CRANK UP THE VOLTAGE OF THE RAMS TO V2.75 OR IF YOU NEED SET IT TO V2.85
    DONT FORGET TO POST YOUR RESULTS OF TEMPRATURES: http://www.3degs.net/index.php?page=mbmcfg
    NOTE! This was tested on my testrig.
    PERSONAL MESSAGE TO BAS:  Thanx you are doing a great work.

  • Cross posted from Bios - MSI 7800GTX SLI BIOS REVISIONS

    > I've pasted my post from bios to here, as no one took any interest.
    Howdie peoples, after checking out the bios revisions on my SLI cards I have found they have different bios revisions. Would this play any part in bad performance?.
    Card one :
    05/18/05
    05.70.02.11.10
    (Purchased this one Sept 05)
    Card two:
    05/12/05
    05.70.02.11.01
    (This was purchased Jan 06! and later bought from eBay).
    Any input would be great.  biggthumbsup
    Thanks
    ps Anyone know where I can get the MSI 7800GTX 512 rear venting fan/heatsink assemblies? (they take up two card slots)

    I thought the part number is already on the sticker of the GPU. Gd luck.

  • Is there a new bios coming for P6N SLI Platinum for E8400 ?

         Hi everyone,
         ( My system specs are in the signature )
    I have been thinking to upgrade my cpu to E8400, but after some time passing through the forums, internet and asking some of my friends, I have decided not to. This is because I have seen many people frustrated and trying get their E8xxx's working on their moboard with endless efforts because of the wrong information given in the CPU support list of P6N-SLI Platinum. Yet, I have seen that only a few people have managed to get it work but with risky, manual adjustments.
    So here is my question, will there be a new bios for P6N SLI Platinum that will make E8xxx series post without any adjustments for the users that want to stick with their P6N SLI Plat.?

    Please ask here:

  • SLI issue with N660Ti-2GD5/OC (new bios request)

    Hi,
    It started all with issue regarding SLI performance under F1 2012 game.
    When SLI is enable I can't get more then 30FPS average. I try changing SLI rendering mode with no luck... nothing change.
    I noticed that when SLI is enable I only get 25% GPU usage per card and my 3D GPU clock is not reaching MSI declare speed.
    When SLI disable everything is working normally. I get 58FPS average, 95-100% GPU usage and my 3D GPU clock is working at MSI declare speed (I think it is 1020MHz).
    So I suppose that this is negative SLI scaling...
    I was doing some testing and SLI (I have enable show SLI visual indicator) doesn't work properly in any game that I have install on my pc (F1 2010, BF3, BC2 and NFS Shift).
    I have same issue in all games: low gpu usage, 3d clocks doesn't reach declare speed (with three, two or only one monitor connected).
    So next I installed Heaven Benchmark 4.0 and started testing and for some unexplainable reason SLI is working normally.
    After that I started games again but no GO ... again in games SLI is not working correctly.
    I was thinking that maybe my SLI profile are not working right... so I decided to change driver, I try 320.14 and 314.22 nothing change - SLI not working correctly.
    Then I download nvida inspector and try to define SLI profile for those games - nothing change - SLI still not working correctly.
    I even try to disable first card through device manager so I can test the second card and vice verse, separately both cards are working normally.
    So only in Haven benchmark 4.0 SLI is working correctly I have GPU usage of 95% and declare speed for 3D clocks.
    I have Win8x64 (fresh install), nothing overclocked, I enable Prefer maximum performance in nVidia drivers and disable V-sync. CPU Fx-8350, Asus sabertooth fx990 rev.2 (latest bios), 1200W chieftec power supply and everything is properly connected.
    Is there a new bios release for my cards? Maybe this could solve my issue? And who can supply me with new bios?
    Sorry for long post but I am really desperate... any thoughts or maybe solution.
    Regards

    Well my monitor doesn't support more then 1680x1050, but still if this is the case I think that ATI is the way to go... my humble opinion.
    So now I can sell my second card because SLI doesn't work... I am totally depressed.
    Ok but can someone please,please supply me with new firmware for the cards? I just one to try it just to know that I tried everything before I go and sell those cards and go for ATI solution.

  • MSI X58A-GD65 new BIOS

    I have motherboard MSI X58A-GD65 bought in September.
    It is possible to flash it new BIOS v.23.0 or not?
    Now i have BIOS v. 22.1

    Hello every body.
    Does anyone check 7522vM3 22.3 bios?, the 22.2 was a disaster, but what about 22.3?, or perhaps it works and resolve the problem of suspension state when you make overclocking.
    Code: [Select]
    X58 Platinum / X58 Platinum SLI = BIOS version 3xx
    X58 Pro / X58 Pro SLI / X58 Pro-E / X58 Pro-E SLI = BIOS version 8xx
    X58A-GD45 = BIOS version Pxx
    X58A-GD65 = BIOS version Mxx
    X58A-GD65 = BIOS version Nxx
    The BIOS is for LiveUpdate ONLY!
    No need to post BIOS Mxx & Nxx since there are different BIOS version
    with the same marketing name.
    X58A-GD65 (MS-7522) V22.3 BIOS Release
    1. This is AMI BIOS release
    2. This BIOS fixes the following problem of the previous version:
    -  Update CPU micro code.
    -  Improved memory compatibility.
    -  Update LAN option ROM.

    My experience with X58A-GD65 Bios
    22.0 = dont get out from suspension state, Overclock runs ok
    22.1 = it runs ok, OC ok
    22.2= it has lots of problems, the main is the inestability of raid 0 over SSD, lots of blue screens, OC inestable.
    So, dont upgrade to 22.2, stay in 22.1.
    The upgrade of the bios shoud be done from the BIOS (you have an option to upgrade with an usb memory stick).

    According to this:
    http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1141&maincat_no=1&orderby=cpu_name%20ASC#menu
    "Yorkfield" 45nm quadcores are not going to work on this board, only "wolfdale" 45nm dualcores and even that depends on revision, like Jack mentioned.
    So your Q8200 is a no go unfortunatly.
    Only the older 65nm "Conroe" quads will work.
      and fastest intel processor (not 45nm quad core) ?

  • K9N SLI - newer BIOS than in Live Update

    I have a few weird problems with my new AMD64 6000+ adn MSI K9N-SLI
    It seems CoreCEnter goes haywire over the processor. It doesn'r matter what settings I have in BIOS, if Cool'nQuiet is on or off.
    The Core Center rapidly shifts showing that the CPU is between 200mhz to 8000mhz. This must of course be wrong, no other software shows this.
    I then contacte the suppoert and they pointed me to a FTP with some new BIOS on it.
    I have version 3.60 on my board. BUt on the FTP I found 3.75. This opne however is not present in Live Update.
    As I really prefer to do it over Live Update, so that I know I won't mess things up, I'm wondering if anyone knows why
    the new BIOSes is not present there.
    Otherwise... Is there a simple way for me to update the BIOS and make a recover disc in the process, just in case.
    Thx for any help.
    // Chris, Sweden

    That's what I thought too... The comp has been a bit unstable though. Nothing much. But It has crashed a few games and freezed up once or twice. So I was thinking that maybe there is som stability problems with this BIOS.
    Still though... the support told me to upgrade to it. Is you advice that I should at least wait until it is properly released?
    Also... While I have you on the line. Is there a good page with a guide for all the CMOS-settings? I have the PDF-manual but I need more extensive info. Such as what the settings acctually do, what the optimal and safst settings are and so on.
    I'm thinking there might be a few settings that might get the system more stable. I have Spectrums disabled and increased the PCI latency timer to 128. Is there anything I should do with ACPI functions... I'm a newbie, so I don't wanna blow up my stuff.
    Thx for the help-

    Maximum temperature at the junction point (where the die is glued to the chip carrier inside). Max temp is 100°C for Allendale and 85°C for conroe. The internal sensor coretemp uses does not return a absolute temperature but rather how many C° is left until Tjunction is reached. So to calculate the temperature they use Tjunction - Sensor Reading = Temperature. You can see here how speedfan's wrong assumption of 85°C for allendale creates a 15°C offset.
    3x for the info, but what is the thermal specs of E4300, which is 61 sth

  • MSI 975X Power Up Edition V2.1 Issue Beside Overclocking After Flash New Bios

    Hi all,
    I hope I can get a lot of help here. I'm having a few issues with this board. I cannot find any thread that discuss other issue beside overclocking after you flash a new bios. Here are my problem:
    1.  I installed fresh WindowsXP with SP2. Windows cannot detect new usb device eventhough WindowsXP recognized the usb controller. If I plugin any usb device, windows does not detect a new device. I try to stick a USB flash and I can see the light for a few seconds but Windows cannot detect it. Before I upgrade the bios to version 715 (beta), I used usb flash to upgraded it. Now, the bios is not even boot from usb flash.
    2. Other things that concern me, the southbridge chipset is really really hot. If you touch it long enough, it will burn you.
    3. I cannot figure it out the front audio from manual book (JAUD1). Is any of you know where the mic needs to go?
    Thanks

    I removed the Big Typhoon from the MB and I replace with stock fan.  I want to make sure the back plate from Big Typhoon doesn't cause any problem.  When I bootup the windows, I saw WindowsXP recognized the USB device but it disappeared again. I took the MB out from the case and test it without a case. It stills does not recognize the usb. Somebody mention bad PSU(Power Supply Unit) may cause a lot wierd problem. I changed PSU from RaidMax Vocalno 630W to Ultra X-Finity 500W. I don't have a lot of stuff that require power. Do you think the PSU cause this issue?
    This is list of my comp:
    MSI 975x Platinum PowerUp Edition V2.1
    Conroe E6600 Retail
    Seagate 300G SATAII
    Maxtor 120G IDE 100
    Asus 16X DVD-ROM
    NEC 3550A DVD-RW
    Ultra X-Finity 500W
    120 mm Fan
    80 mm Fan
    Big Typhoon
    FYI: USB Controller and USB 2 Controller are enabled in BIOS.

  • MSI P4N SLI, Long wait before BIOS post? (nForce 4 SLI Intel)

    Does anyone else have a P4N SLI? Or maybe you might just know anyway...
    Everytime I boot the PC, before the BIOS POST even starts theres a long wait (insanely long, compared to other PCs and mobos I've had and used) around 45 sec to a minute, where nothing is shown on the monitor and the DVD and CD drives are constantly read (even though theres nothing inside em). Then the BIOS post comes and the rest of the whole process is fast as I could wish for....
    Is that normal with the P4N SLI or maybe even with nForce motherboards?
    If not, any ideas what it could be? (I tried stripping my pc down to barebones, minimal RAM, no extra cards, 1 hdd and 1 cd drive (and even without the cd drive) yet still it takes the same amount of time...)
    Please help...
    Thanks in advance.
    my specs are as follows:
    Intel P4 w/HT 3.0 Ghz LGA775 Land, 1 MB L2 Cache (530J)
    Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS
    3 GB DDR2 @ 533 Mhz

    Do you mean
    1GB, 512MB, 1GB, 512MB?
    Sorry, ya thats what i meant, 2 GB was a mistake. Its 1 GB, 512, 1, 512.
    Quote
    As stated before. Remove the 512meg sticks. To run properly, all sticks should be the same. Reason is due to timings and voltages. Also try to up the voltages to the cpu.
    I removed the 512 sticks before, like I said, and I'm just running with the 2 x 1GB sticks, it hasnt had any positive effect on the long wait before POST. The voltage for the RAM is 1.8v right now as according to the BIOS, is that the correct value?
    Did I mention that during this long wait my monitor is in sleep mode, then 1 short beep is heard, the lights on my keyboard reset as is usual on any PC and the BIOS does its POST (if i pause after the keyboard lights, its usually auto-detecting my HDDs, and optical drives). It's strange because during that long wait nothing is happening other than my cd drive and dvd drive intermittently flashing and my HDD light is constantly on....
    The strange thing is this same setup was working perfectly fine on my old Intel D915GEV motherboard... and it also runs perfectly fine on this mobo too, once you get past the 1 minute+ waiting time...

  • How do I get MSI to Send a New BIOS Chip? (EOM)

    .

    Hi Curbstone -
    If you are in the United States, call their technical support number at (626) 581-3001.  You'll have the best luck if you get through to a live person.  My personal experience at getting a new BIOS chip out of their California Technical Support office was that voice mail messages left at technical support result in no response, e-mail message result in no response, faxed in problem report forms result in no response.  When the line was personally answered, I had a new BIOS chip in hand three business days later, free of charge.
    If you are elsewhere in the world, click on the Contact Us link at http://www.msi.com.tw .
    Another option is to link to http://www.badflash.com and request they send you a replacement BIOS chip.  Cost is US$20 plus shipping.  It may be necessary to e-mail them the BIOS you wish to have flashed.
    The following assumes that you have a K7N420 Pro board (you don't have a sig line to tell otherwise...):
    If you know someone with an EPROM burner (or are friendly with a local electronics or computer store that has one) you can download the BIOS image of your choice and have it burned onto a new chip.  The chip is either a Winbond 49F002UP12B or a SST 49LF020. The chip is a Plastic Leaded Chip Carrier (or PLCC) module. Shouldn't cost too much (maybe US$10 - 20).  You can pull the PLCC module from your board carefully using a small jewelers screwdriver or use a PLCC Chip Puller from Radio Shack - part # 276-2101 (about US$8.).
