New pc Model design. based on new bios tek. Logic

here is the project image scans made from a drawing.
http://lmtdbin.7pz.me/slmtdnp/proj2014/
I have built older hw like this. and when i found the new bios tek was ok. i have put in a pc model design. should work better.
later i can post the images in this post but for now i only have the image link addr. so later we will see.
but i just got the page up and listing. i even have a windows text exe model. =) enjoy its good. and new. so
and the intel post. =)
https://software.intel.com/en-us/forums/topic/538240
now i have already checked some of the use of this computer. system commands work. and i dont know all about system functions. it is in there. but it depends on how the development is going to be a command like "System ProgName" and then "the
encrypted exe file" though it does not use command. one could be implimented alteast as of Terms
the software development for this model. is very nice and apps should be availdable
looks a little better with a second level to the design. even more space for custom implementation if needed
inother words you or someone could add to the design with the second level added

Just for the hell of it, I decided to turn down my CPU multiplier, pump the bclk to 200, and see if I could get things working with my memory running at 1600. I left the DIMM voltage at Auto in BIOS, and booted into windows. Started up the MSI Overclocking center.... and it was reporting a DIMM voltage of 1.9. I was..... shocked.... I tried to change it to 1.65 in the OC center, but my machine locked, then it rebooted 3 times and reset it's bios settings. Things seem fine, don't think my CPU was damaged.... but seriously, what the hell?
Mechsner, I know you've said you don't trust windows voltage readings. Could this be a case of inaccurate readings? Can the OC center not be trusted at all? It's matched my BIOS settings in the past.... but this time was just scary.

  • Question about new BIOS on Satellite L20-182

    Hi :)
    I've got one question: may I install new BIOS 2.20 on my Satellite L20-182 model no. PSL2XE?
    If I can't, why users PSL2X can do this? Are there so many differences on both models?
    Greetings and sorry for my English - I'n not the best :)

    Hi,
    just for explanation: the bios you mentioned is the right bios for the machine. Toshiba is not writing the full model number since there is a range of model numbers of the same model, so dont worry, they are not different. Maybe the last digit but this is not important for you.
    Why I am knowing this? Because many manufacturers are doing this and I was many times confused when updating bioses from another manufacturer...

  • New BIOS for the MEGA.

    We need one......for a number of reasons.
    We need Prescott support, so the Celeron D would be an option. Northwood Celerons are getting scarce since they're out of production. My MEGA 651 could easily handle a slightly hotter Celeron....say 2.4 D. Most boards will handle Prescotts with only a BIOS upgrade. I have no reason to suspect otherwise with these MEGA boards.
    My MEGA 651 has no option in the BIOS to adjust/change/turn off the fan control circuit. I would like to use Speedfan to control fan speeds.....but cannot. The board's own controller and the Speedfan program conflict, causing unstable fan operation. Most boards using auto-fan control let the user adjust the operation. The mega BIOS could be  up-graded to do so.
    I'd like to see some FSB adjustment in the BIOS....more than 100/133.
    There are many improvements a new BIOS could offer....at very little cost to MSI.  Maybe Doctor Stu could use some of his clout to get one written.   

    i don't have any clout
    the 651 is an old model, so i doubt if we'll see any updates from MSI now, seeing as they will be pushing the new 865PRO now
    unfortunately i also believe that the lack of prescott support is down to the SiS 651 chipset used, rather than MSI themselves

  • Will there be a new bios

    Will there be a new bios for the K8N neo platinum? or is 1.4 the last.
    I know beta bioses are available, but I don't want to use those.

    T2faag , yes there will be a new bios for Neo1 .Beta out with name 1.5b6 is proof of that .
    When they are satisfied with the 1.5Betas they will release a 1.50 official based
    of one or several of the betas with possible som last changes or merged changes.
    But have no idea of the timeframe .
    (boogieman ! you refer to Neo2 not Neo1 )

  • X220 4286-CTO can't update new bios

    I get the new X220 today and want to update the new bios because the "unexpected CPU throttling mode" problem.
    But when i using system auto update, it can't found any new bios(my bios is 1.12) for my system.
    So i manually download the 1.17bios from the lenovo websit.
    but when i install it, it also failed to refresh and indicate as follow:
    The process does not recognize this system.
    The process has been canceled.
    Could anybody tell me what the problem was?
    My system is X220 4286-CTO, but i can't find my type on the web selection. And if I use autodetection,it confuse my system as X220i 4286-CTO.
    I want to update to new bios.How can i do?
    THX!!

    hoang0100, my apologies as I haven't understood you clearly...
    May be you try flash BIOS via setup after laptop boots?
    The BIOS flashing process is simple - just download the BIOS image and Update Utility (in one pack) from Lenovo's web site. Presently the last version of BIOS is 1.17, direct link on US site for your laptop model is here http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS018805.
    Download and launch exe file, setup process will start. You'll be promptetd the path where files will be extracted. At the end of installation process you'll be asked to start the flashing process automatically. Close all applications, plug-in AC adapter and start. You'll see the process. Don't do anything on laptop during that process, about one minute. At the end your laptop will be rebooted. That's end. Also you'll get backup copy of your current BIOS, that file has name bios.bak.
    Note you can flash new BIOS or re-flash manually by launching winflash.exe.
    Cheers

  • Old bios - no dual core, new bios - no graphic card

    Hello. I have a old computer with a MSI K8N Neo Platinum 2 that had the 1.5 bios version. I bought an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Toledo and it wasn't being recognized as it should ("AMD Hammer Unknown Model") and only 1 core was being detected. I've updated the bios and it got recognized correctly and it's Windows experience score got from 4.2 to 5.1 and it is ok now I guess. But, with the updated bios my graphic card's driver fails to load. I tested several of them both from chipset and card manufacturer's and or they fail to load or I get a BSOD 0x50 . I've tried to find a bios version that didn't blow up the graphic card driver while fixing the dual core issue but the very version that fixes the dual core issue is the one that blows the graphic card driver. And it's name is "1.9". I tried all newer bios and the same happens with all of them. Basically, or I get dual core or I get graphic drivers. This all is happening on Windows 7 Home Basic but I'm afraid will happen on any operative system if it is a bios issue. I also changed agp related configurations in the bios but nothing changes. My graphic card is an ASUS AH4650 AGP.
    Any help is appreciated.

    That PSU you have now can be bought for a little as € 5 ($ 7), shipping costs are more expensive then that
    I take this opportunity to pose another question to all of you friendly individuals that are helping me with my issue.
    As I told you, this pc is dated and I don't really need the PSU to be that future proof. I see that you have only recommended units branded Corsair. In the shop where I buy this kind of stuff there are another brands so I'll leave you the list hoping you can recommend me one that fits this system and that is a little bit less expensive in case you can find a good match. Pardon me if I'm abusing of your time.
    Site: http://www.novoatalho.pt/
    In the left navigation menu, please chose "Componentes" - "Fontes de Alimentação", and select a brand of them or press the menu itself on "Fontes de Alimentação" to get a list of all of them.
    Don't know how/if the memory I use makes it different but I have 4 dimms of 2GB combined. I was using only 1.5G but now with the new firmware the motherboard is handling 1GB + 500MB + 250MB + 250MB. The rest is hard disks and cd drives, I'm not even using a PCI card.
    If you still just recommend Corsair, is absolutely fine.
    Btw, another thing, please remember that this motherboard has a VGA slot not PCI-E. Don't know if that changes something for the PSU.

  • New bios might help those with false temp readings...

    Well MSI just sent me a new bios to try to fix the false temp reading issue and at first I thought it was the already-released Bios 1.25 but after comparing the checksums of both it seems to be a different bios, being Bios 1.2A... Anyway, I stuck the files on a floppy and then booted from the floppy and flashed it and to no avail, the temps are still wrong... I have a Clawhammer core and was hoping to get some input from other people with Clawhammer and Newcastle cores... Here's the email conversation I had with them along with a link to the bios they sent me at the bottom...

    Dear Alex,
    Thank you for contacting MSI Technical Support.
     The CPU temperature is different and there is tolerance difference between the data showed and the real temperature according to the CPU model and type and even produce date and manufactory . And this MB supports thermal protection function, it will prevent the MB and CPU from overheating. So please don't worry about the temperature.
    We have tested various CPU with newcastle core in our lab but we can't find the same problem. We'll keep checking with AMD and contact them to get more different CPU to analyse it futher together with them. New BIOS will released right now if we have some findings and figure out the sloution. Sorry for any inconvenience caused.

    Subject: False CPU Temperature Readings with K8N Neo Platinum
    When will you guys be releasing a new bios for the K8N Neo Platinum that fixes the issues with false CPU temperature readings? As far as I know, none of the beta bioses that are out right now fix that particular issue. I have an AMD Athlon 64 3200+ (Clawhammer). My temperatures have ranged anywhere from 60C to 184C, it's obvious that these temperatures are wrong because the computer would should itself down somwhere around 75C. I am also sure the the CPU heatsink is seated correctly as I have reseated it many times. I took a look around on your forums and also noticed that I am not the only one having these problems as tons of people with Clawhammer and Newcastle cores are having the same problem. Is there an estimated release date for a fix on this?
    Thanks, Alex
    Bios 1.2A
    Whatever results you guys come up with, please post it in this thread so I can send it back to MSI and hopefully it will help them in fixing this problem...
    Oh and the usual disclaimer, don't try and sue me if you screw over your motherboard, I'm simply passing along the information they sent me...

    For anyone who is still having problems, please post the information written on the top of your CPU so I can send it back to MSI to help them fix this. If you can't get the info off the top of your CPU, take a screenshot of the CPU tab in CPU-Z and send it to my email at [email protected]. In my next email I will also let them know that there are some people with Newcastles that still have problems. Thanks.

  • Northbridge temps and the new bios update

    I know the Northbridge temperature issue has been posted before. But I’m posting in relations to the new bios update supposed to be released 08/24. Will these temp issues be resolved in this new bios update?
    There could be many reasons why the Northbridge temps are so high, ranging from bad heatsink design to Northbridge fan blowing too fast. Mine runs 55C idle which is way too high…but when I go to touch the heatsink, it’s barely warm. A lot of people have been complaining about the “light show” on the Northbridge, but heck I like it. I think it’s pretty cool
    One last thing I’d like to bring up, this new bios update, I don’t know whether or not 1.6 supports DDR500mhz Ram (because I don’t have it yet) but will it support it? Reason being is I plan on buying DDR500mhz Ram and do some more overclocking.
    1:1 Cpu to Ram ratio here I COME!!! :D

    ROFLMAO  (first sign of insanity when you laugh about a such sad matter)
    Maesus, its nothing personal, but do you really believe there will be a v1.8 BIOS? To me it looks like MSI has abandoned the 875P. BIOS v1.7 is supposed to come when? ...August 28th? That's 2 months since the last one and as far as I have heard there has not much changed over v1.6. When is v1.8 supposed to come? Another 2 months later? Not to speak of v1.9... That makes about 5 months to get the board working the way it was supposed to do from the first day (if v1.7 solves something at all).
    Sorry, but MSI is about to lose all trustworthiness with this so called support. And moderators in a company's forum who are not even employees of that company, and have to take guesses (see Prescott support) about the products, do not help to make the situation much better (again, nothing personal). If the support team would take a look by themselves on a regularly basis (1-2 times a week) perhaps then the problems would be solved much faster. If I would work like this and not care about the customers I would have lost my job long ago.
    There are still many problems. The board is on the market for some months now and memory compatibility and timings are still an issue.
    I've visited many forums the last week. And I do hear (read) almost the same everywhere: Poeple who bought the 875P board say its high quality and has good features, if it only would work as supposed. MSI miserably fails to give it a working BIOS. Results in polls about "MSI 875P board good or bad" tend to be weighed horribly to "bad". Most of the ppl will never again buy a MSI board because they feel left alone with their problems.
    It is clear that ppl who are satisfied do not post that in forums. But when something is wrong, they do, because they want the problems solved. But what are support forums good for when no one is listening to the complaints?
    In times who prices are almost the same for the products, ppl tend to buy that product, that not only has the best features but also good support. When it comes to that MSI is not first choice.

  • New BIOS firmware for B590 Notebook (20206)

    Hello.
    Where can I find new BIOS firmware for B590 Notebook (model 20206)? support.lenovo.com provides an earlier version (08 Oct 2012), but I need at least the same as in the notebook now (15 Nov 2012).
    Just wait for a new firmware becomes available at lenovo.com?
    How can I find out when it will happen or whether happen at all?
    Or at least how to save the current BIOS? Preferably by regular means. It looks like Lenovo utility can only update (and reported that the installed firmware is fresher).
    Thanks.

    Still nothing. Is there any hope?

  • Z87-GD65 Gaming: New BIOS?

    Hello,
    is there a new BIOS version available that can be used with the MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool?
    The current Bios on my mainboard is 1.A or 1.10, the version of the Forum flash tool I have is 1.25g, and the latest version of the Intel ME Driver I have downloaded is 10.0.0.1204.
    Thanks

    Hi Svet,
    thanks a lot. It seems that the current MSI HQ Forum USB flasher is still "MSIHQ Tool 1.25g Installer.rar". I just want to be prepared with a new BIOS in case something goes wrong when I will finally change my intel onboard graphics into a nvidia discrete graphics card.
    But one more question: Since there is also the use of FPT recommended in some other thread in regards to all LGA 1150 mainboards, supposedly with the use of the BIOS version from the MSI support site, is there any difference to using the Forum flash tool method together with the BIOS version you gave me other than having to prepare the USB stick myself when I use of FPT instead of the convenience of letting the Forum flash tool do this for me?
    Thanks again.

    i have no idea what they were thinking but since when i move i often close the lid, it's very, very annoying because i need to reboot in order to get my tablet working again. the more recent features are not a matter, i'll keep xp pro.
    now give me a download link to get the version 1.6 of the tecra M7 bios. thanks in advance, i count on you.

    Hello
    Fact is that Toshiba offers all tablet PCs with WXP tablet edition and many additional software that offer full functionality when you use this tablet PC in tablet or normal mode.
    So, in my opinion you should use tablet edition and install all available Toshiba tools and utilities.
    I dont have much experience with tablet PCs but if you check Toshiba Europe support and download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Download you will see that your Tecra is fully supported for WXP tablet edition and you can download all necessary stuff.
    Interesting is that there is also ready for download Installation instruction document with exact installation order.
    You can also visit Canadian download page under http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/ln_bymodel.asp and see what is available there.
    I really think you need to install all Toshiba specific tools and utilities to have full control and possibility to use it in both modes.
    Sorry I cannot tell you more about all this.
