P67A-GD55 can't access bios.

Had problem earlier to access bios using an msi p67a gd43, today i changed in to a p67a gd55 and i have the same problem. When i start it counts "98","99","A3" and then i press ALT and it just locks saying "starting setup".
I'm able to boot in to windows 7 64bit without any problem.
My setup is:
CPU: i5 2500k
GFX: Palit Geforce GTX460 768mb
RAM: 2x UMAX DDR3 1600 oc 2gb
PSU: Zumax 630W
I've unplugged all HDD and DVD.
So far I've tried to Clear Cmos with button and also jumper/battery method. Bios was 1.8 stock but flashed it anyway to 1.8.
Switch slots for RAM.
Removed the moderboard from chassi so it had no metal contact.
Changed PSU.
Only things i havent been able to change is ram and gfx so i suppose one of them is causing this problem, as for the memory im not able to get any information from it in sisoft sandra, in cpu-z it cant identify the brand.
Anyone had this or similare problem, and what did you do?

I hearby would like to inform all people that cetus UMAX DDR3-1600 OC is NOT suitable with MSI's P67 chipset.
It would be beneficial if you could advise the forum what memory you are using now that does work. Makes it easier for others that are considering memory for their boards.

Can not access BIOS after update BIOS

Can not access BIOS after update X220 BIOS to version 1.19

Ask google and try anyway but not work
- Press ThinkVantage, Press F1, Press Fn+F1
- Power off, unplug AC, unplug battery, wait 15 miniute, try all again
- Try to update BIOS again

That is really weird.
When you are in Windows, can you test and see if the F1 key is working? If it is working. Shut down the laptop then boot it back up. At the Thinkpad screen, keep spamming the F1 key and see if you are able to boot into BIOS.

Thinkpad edge s230u twist can't access bios by F1,bios recovery

When I tried to update win8.1 updates KB3000850, it failed via auto-update or installation. Follow the Microsoft guide to restart laptop into safe mode, installation failed also. Then I chose safe mode with minimum way to restart laptop. Then laptop halted down at Lenovo logo.
At first, I thought bios is modified by windows8.1(x64) and it can't load any hard disk to boot. With a couple of days test, I found a way to flash BIOS at very beginning of laptop boot. BIOS can be updated. But there is still no startup option to set boot sequence. My laptop is still halted down at Lenovo logo, same as BIOS update. I can only access bios by keeping real clock error which I generated by clearing BIOS.
if no real clock error, i can't access bios. And f1 and f12 doesn't work. At the lonovo logo screen, Enter doesn't work also although it hints me to press Enter.
In my laptop bios, there is no startup option even I udate it.
can somebody help me on this? Lenovo service center just aksed me to change board.
Here I share the bios crisis recovery solution for s230u, may also for other models.
Laptop: ThinkPad edge s230u twist 3347-3QC
Bios: 1.67, UEFI.
OS:windows 8.1 x64
How to do BIOS crisi recovery:
1. Download bios(exe version) from Lenovo website
2. Run it, and release file. Uncheck the installation at last. Remember the release location. You can get the bios in .fl1 format, mine is in ..\gduj21us\GDETA9WW\
3. Rename it as BIOS.cap and copy it into a new formatted USB stick with FAT32 in root directory.
4. Shutdown Laptop and disconnect AC cord. Insert USB stick.
5. Hold Fn+R, plugging in AC power. And power-on.
6. USB stick is blinking, then you can release key. A short while, after a lenovo logo, flashing screen shows.
7. After flash, laptop will restart or shutdown.
In BIOS, it shows new version. If new bios is new one, flashing takes a longer time than a very short time for same version flashing.

I tried 1.02, it will try to read USB stick, then shutdown, restart, read again, laptop would be in this cycle. It's same when i changed one Bit by hex-editor of 1.69 version. I also try to use PhoenixTool 2.59 to rebuild BIOS after change one or two Bits of extracted roms. same status also, it took the changed bios as wrong input, enter the above cycle also.
I tried 1.53, it can show lenovo logo, and flashing screen, but it hints that BIOS should be qual or newer.
I still wait for some on guide. Thanks in advance.

HP pavillion m6 notebook, Can't access Bios on external screen.

Hello my laptop screen has been completely ruined due to my kid brother (4years old) but thats not the problem.
The problem is that i'm now using my TV as a external screen via a HDMI cable, my problem is i can't access Bios on it.
Is there a solution to this problem ?
I've read someting about a key combination could solve the problem, but i can't find that combination, and i dont know when i should use it.
Thanks

Hi Patrickkje, and welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are looking for a key combination to get the external monitor to turn on while in the BIOS. I did some research and found a couple things. First is this document for Testing a Hard Disk from the BIOS where you need to press the F10 repeatedly to get to the BIOS menu.
I found another combination that follows pressing FN & F1 at powerup switches to the external monitor.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Good luck and have a great day!

Can I access BIOS using JNI?

Hi,
Can I access BIOS using JNI on Windows and Linux platforms?
Mathew

I guess that the old BIOS functions (INT 15 for instance) are "emulated" by Windows when you are running old 16-bit DOS programs. They're mapped into equivalent Windows calls. Even if the BIOS implement different features you can't run the exact BIOS code. (Please correct me if I'm wrong)
I don't know about Linux handling of BIOS calls.
If you simply want to read (not execute) the BIOS code in Linux you can use a special device (/dev/kmem? I can't remember the exact name) and seek to the BIOS address.

P67a-gd55 new videocard can't access bios

I have had this system for over a year now with no problems. I just upgraded my videocard from an 8800 gtx to a radeon 7870 tahiti le. Now the msi splash screen is too large for the monitor and if I try to access bios I get an A9 in the corner and it hangs. I've tried different keyboards and clearing the cmos. However it boots into windows fine and I even played the new Tomb Raider with all settings ultra for a few hours with no instabilities or problems. I am on the last revision of the sandy bridge bios, the newest bios says one the improvements is "enhanced pci e display card performance". Could that be the issue?

Presume you are connected via HDMI? Connect it to one of the other ports, VGA or DVI and then try it. Also, it may depend on the monitor. If it is an Apple, test with a different one.

P67A GD55 Rev B - Upgrade Bios Question

To be honest, this post supposed to be a private message to Svet, but turned out a newbie like me who just joining the forum is not allowed to send PM...so apology if this questions are being asked so many times already:
Dear svet,
Really need your help in clarifying something, to make it short here are my questions:
First here are my PC Specifications:
MSI P67A-GD55 rev B
Corsair Vengeance 2x4GB XMP Enabled
PSU Corsair X750W
Intel Sandy Bridge i5 2500k
OS Windows 7 x64
1. I have upgraded my GD55 rev B bios to the latest bios available here: msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
which foolishy I didn't read the warn that it will not work proeperly for Sandy Bridge
2. The bios update/flash was a success, now I have the ver II click bios, completely different with the first version. With this bios I managed to OC to my previous OC speed (4.2GHz in OC Setting by changing it into 42 multiplier and set the Vcore to 1.35)
3. The reason that I updated my bios in the first time was I often experience 0x50 error while gaming certain games, and I thought upgrading bios is one of the solutions for it (after trying to change my RAM, changing my GPU, and my PSU to no avail)
4. Then I stumble to this post of yours: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.0
with some fix in the 434 version states like this: "05.Fix system reset on 0x55 issue when use Sandy Bridge G440 CPU and install two 4G memory."
I am completely not sure whether this is related to my 0x50 BSOD or not, but really hoping that it is.
So my question is, should I upgrade/downgrade to your first post BIOS? (E7681IMS.434) or should I upgrade/downgrade to the latest beta 439 Bios (E7681IMSv439.rar) as the fix in 434 are included in 439?)
Thank you so much in advance for any help...
Regards,

While waiting for Svet to respond, I will tell you that BSOD 050 is not enough DRAM V. being applied. It's rather a shame you didn't open a thread in the regular part of the forum, or the OC section of the forum asking for assistance 'before' flashing an Ivy support UEFI/BIOS.
That CPU is most likely capable of OC'ing to 42X easily on Auto CPU voltage while maintaining all the power saving features. VDroop set to Low or 100% depending on the available settings.
What is X.M.P. setting the DRAM V. at? If 1.50v's, to solve your BSOD, probably would have just required raising the DRAM V. to about 1.575v's or maybe even less manually. Rather than using X.M.P., the DRAM Frequency setting could have been changed manually to 1600.
Yes, all newer final or Beta versions will have previous release improvements incorporated.
Thank you for the reply...forget to delete the "dear Svet" part as it was copied from once private message intended
To be honest, I see myself rather as a silent reader than an active poster...so I would really try to avoid posting due to English isn't my first language....if that even make sense...
I think I have read quite a lot of 0x50 BSOD (CTD errors to be exact) in other forums to...have tried what people had posted as solutions for them...and still to no avail, hence my foolish and rushed attempt in flashing the bios...please do mind that the current bios is quite stable in my opinion, despite the same BSOD (CTD) in the certain game I have mentioned in my first post...
I have followed OC guide and benchmark in other forum which show each of its poster their OC settings and result (specifically i5 2500k series), and I have tried around 1 week to safely say that my unfortunate chip can only handly a stable 24/7 4.2GHz in that volt...i'm so lucky
and for XMP volt, I have no idea to be honest, I just enable it in the bios, will really look at it later on...
tl'dr thank you so much for the new insight of how to solve the 0x50! really appreciate it....If i can remember correctly, I have tried to use the default DRAM setting (without using XMP enabled) and still got the 0x50 CTD....but trying your suggestion is still a worth a try...will try this when I get home...thank you!

Windows 8.1-No UEFI firmware setting in advance option. Can't access BIOS with F2-Lenovo B575

There was Windows 7 Home Premium on my machine before (Lenovo B575)and I could access the BIOS and Boot Menu pressing F2 and F12. I installed Windows 8 Enterprise version first and lost the ability to go into the BIOS. I upgraded this version to 8.1 with
same results. In advanced option I don't have UEFI firmware setting tile. So I can't choose to get to the BIOS with this method. I have tried to go into the BIOS at the boot pressing F2 and many other keys with no result. The OS in both cases 8 and 8.1 hung
several times during the installation process. I had to manually reboot machine during installation several times. After the windows were installed the system still can't shut down or restart normally and I have played with different settings in power / shutdown
option. Please help. I need to be able to access my BIOS at boot or Windows level. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
The method to enter into advanced boot option in Windows 8\8.1 is different from Windows 7, pressing F12 during boot may not work because the booting process in Windows 8\8.1 is too fast. Here's an document from Lenovo website:
http://support.lenovo.com/en/documents/ht081446
NOTE
This
response contains a reference to a third party World Wide Web site. Microsoft is providing this information as a convenience to you.
Microsoft
does not control these sites and has not tested any software or information found on these sites.
Please Note the sentence at the end: Lenovo preloaded Windows 8/8.1 is set up with UEFI boot. If your computer is not fitted with UEFI boot, you can only enter BIOS setup or UEFI firmware via the traditional method.
that means If you installed Windows 8\8.1 the U/EFI way you should be able to access UEFI options,
To check if you boot UEFI way, run in admin command prompt:
bcdedit
for example:
If path ends in
.efi - you boot U/EFI way, and path ends in .exe - you boot normal BIOS way.

How can I access BIOS/EFI in MBP Retina

How can I access EFI (or BIOS equivalent) in Macbook Pro Retina?
I tried to access with Option + Command + O and F. But, it doesn't work.
Is there anyone who saw the bios settings of MBP Retina?

Apple disables the standard mechanism for entry into the EFI shell in its computers, but not the EFI shell itself. If you want to launch the EFI shell, you can download third-party software that changes the interface EFI shows you at start-up. This will void your warranty & support, so you'll have to use Google for instructions.

Laptop will not boot, stops at Toshiba screen then an error message. Can't access BIOS

I receive the following error message:
For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.2.7(11/02/10)
Check cable connection!
PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel PXE ROM.
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
Before it first shut down, there was some blue screen with a message I was unable to read in time. I turned it back on and got the above message. I have done some research and it sounds like some kind of hard drive problem. I've checked the hard drive connection and it's fine, the same message appears. I also saw that you can access BIOS(not sure what this is exactly, I've never used it) and then somehow recover, reset or change a boot setting that may have changed by itself. I can't access it though. I have tried F8, I have tried pressing escape as soon as the red Toshiba screen comes on, and also tried holding it and releasing when the tone sounds, then pressing F1 but all I get is a tone and no screen.
It's about to be finals week and I really need some help getting this fixed...preferrebly without having to by a new hard drive because all kinds of homework, papers and study info is on this computer. I haven't even had it for two years yet. I can attach a picture of the screen if needed but it's just a black screen with the above message.
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Satellite L655-S5150 and Windows 7
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It does sound like a hard drive related issue, be it a virus, or physical failure. If you have fast boot enabled, you will need to hold down F8 while you power up, as just tapping F8 at the BIOS splash screen will not work. If you are unable to recover that way, hopefully you created recovery media when you first got the laptop(it would have prompted you in the action center).
If that was not done, you could always swap in a new hdd to get the system up and running, and get a eSATA to USB cable to get all of your info off your old drive.

Hi
The BIOS for this unit can be found on Toshiba EU driver page:

According to BIOS access:
Press F2 while powering on the unit. This is the right and only method to access the BIOS. Press F2 several times in the row

Satellite L55-B5357 Can't access BIOS

How can i access/open BIOS on my satellite L55-B5357 laptop?? I've never had an issue opening bios on any conputer i've owned. I like this laptop, but i need to access bios and just can't figure it out. I've held F2 while powering up, held FN key plus F2 while powering up, tried ESC and most other F keys to no avail. I get the Tishiba Black screen first then it goes to the windows screen where i have to log in, no bios option. Please help???? This is driving me nuts, i've searched all over the internet and you guys are my last hope, what can i possibly be doing wrong, this should not be a problem, it should be as easy as pressing a key during boot. Thanks.

Since Win 8 and 8.1 came along, things have changed a bit. Hold DOWN the shift key while clicking Shutdown. Hold DOWN F2 while pressing the Power button. Voila! The BIOS/UEFI will appear.

Can't access BIOS through Assist button

Hi all, I have a VPCF11M1E and I am not able to access its BIOS. Pressing F2 doesnt show me any BIOS options and when I press the Assist button it automatically starts the computer. I really do need help ASAP if possible. Thanks in advance!

Hi Barletta,
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
Did you press F2 repeatedly while the computer is booting up? You might missed it. Try it again and this time, hit F2 repeatedly as soon as you press the power button. Make sure that the F2 is free from dust or dirt, and it is not stuck.
Also try to remove the battery and all peripherals -> press and hold the power button for 5 seconds OR, if the battery is not removable, remove all peripherals -> look for a battery off button on the bottom of the laptop -> push the button for 5 seconds -> you may use a safety pin if you see a pinhole.
Try again to access BIOS. If you'll get the same issue, possibly its already hardware issue. Your Vaio VPCF11M1E is not a U.S. model and we have limited knowledge of your unit. Unfortunately, we are unable to assist customers outside of the US. We kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Hope these help.
Thanks,
