(P67A-GD65) BIOS update worked but now ACPI dead?

Hi guys, anyone seen this before?
P67A-GD65(b3) + i5 2500K + G Skill Ripjaws 1600 + MSI GTX560  (all about 1 week old)
Did a successful BIOS update to 1.B (which is what the AU msi site listed as latest BIOS, I now realise that 1.C is out).
Everything seems fine in BIOS but Win7 hangs at "Starting Windows" (regular boot, repair boot, even the install setup boot from disc).
Booting from a Linux cd it hangs at the ACPI part.
System was perfectly stable prior to this (but my mouse didn't work in BIOS and XMP timings didn't seem to be applied, hence the update).
BIOS update was done using forum USB tool. CMOS has definitely been cleared.
Any suggestions? I am probably going to try updating to BIOS 1.C but since I don't have a working PC now (posting this from our iMac) I will have to go use a friend's PC to run the USB tool and create the BIOS update stick.
Thanks

For a short term test, raise DRAM V. manually to the maximum 1.65v's, set CPU V-Droop to low, phase control from SVID to APS.
I did try a raised DRAM V at one point (to no success), but didn't touch phase control so could try that too.
I have found one single way to make it load windows - by flashing 1.C directly from the "M-flash" page of the BIOS itself 
The on the reset directly following the update it will then boot windows correctly.
This first happened this afternoon and I rejoiced and then shutdown to reconnect all the devices that had been unplugged during diagnosis ... then when I went to boot up again ... hung ... again 
Tried to get all scientific by trying voltage settings and unplugging case fans, etc ... nothing work so I gave up, did something (theoretically) foolish  and tried the M-flash page in BIOS again. Re-flashed v1.C again and once again it booted into windows 
Starting to think along the lines of RMA here  ... this can't be normal.

  • "BIOS ME update....file not found " since a P67A-GD65 bios update failed

    Hi everyone,
    I've decided to post this little message after looking for a solution over the web and over the MSI forum because I've got a problem since the BIOS update of my P67A-GD65 MB.
    I've followed the update process for the 4.32 BIOS using an USB key, the update started but did not continue after reboot, and since My PC is out of order
    The "BIOS ME update....file not found " message is displayed after lots of booting tries, using plenty of methods.
    I've looked and tried all the techniques I could find over the web, I've tried :
    -PC with and without SATA drives connected
    -the last 4 versions of the bios found on-line, even the original version of my MB before updating (1.19)
    -4 different usb keys (from 128 Mb to 4 GB)
    -all front and back usb ports
    Each time, on each usb key, there were several bios versions, even one renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM for testing the recovery method.
    I've also tried to make the keys bootable by using the “MSIHQ USB Bootable” tool with the 1.19 bios (after the boot fix), the usb key appears in the F11 boot menu but when I select it, the PC boots but still shows me the "BIOS ME update....file not found " message.
    I've also tried a clear CMOS with several power off.
    I've also tried to burn a CD containing only a AMIBOOT.ROM file, and to boot on it, but same problem occurs.
    In brief, it seems that my PC does not recognize my Key's content, whatever it is.
    I've you got an idea to help me ?
    Last precision, the update process that failed was using the 4.3 bios version, but my CPU is a not an IvyBridge .
    thanks for your help

    HI
    I've tried  with your file , that's better but not solved
    the "BIOS ME update....file not found" has gone but my bios is still inacessible.
    I put the usb key (with the decompressed file) and the PC starts, displays the MSI boot logo, and then shows a message for hitting F1 or F2 bla bla bla...
    Whatever the key that has been hit (F1 or F2, and only the first time), the pc boots again and again after displaying the boot logo, followed by a 30 seconds black screen.
    If I remove the key, I've got a message that says I have to put a key on an usb port, and when I put back the usb key , the PC starts to boot again and again.
    Once again , I'm stuck. 
    thanks for your help

  • P67A-GD65 bios update

    My P67A-GD65 came with bios 1.4. I'm having some problems with memory, and am hoping that 1.7 fixes it.
    When I update to 1.7, I can't save any changes to the bios, it just hangs. Fortunately, I was able to downgrade back to 1.4 (thankfully I saved it first).
    Anyone else have this issue? No a way to fix it?
    I'm thinking about returning this MOBO because of all the issues I'm having with it.

  • Since the latest apple update, voice navigation has gone away.  Tried the Airplane mode fix, which worked, but now my bluetooth won't work in my vehicle.  What's up?

    Since the latest apple update, voice navigation has gone away.  Tried the Airplane mode fix, which worked, but now my bluetooth won't work in my vehicle.  What's up?

    Well Bababooey if you're comparing yourself to a Apple Genius Bar then you should already know my answer, your snarky remark get a snarky reply.  Why would I go to a salesperson to fix my computer problem when I can go directly go to the source itself.  I used to sell Apple computers over 8 years ago and was apple certified before the Genius bar existed. If I am to go about fixing an issue I can't fix on my own I will go to the source itself meaning Apple's programmers and developers - being UI UX Developer myself I know they should have QA'd all platforms and troubleshooted any arising issues. 
    This was also the first time in the 20 years I've been using a Mac that I even attempted to go on this forum which i thought would put me in connection with a certified Apple representative.  This turned out to be a complete waste of time just being a public forum with no Apple employee involved.  I was hoping to find a quick fix but in turn I was only frustrated with stupid responses such as yours that were in no way an answer to my original question. 
    BTW I fixed the issue on my own and without your help or Apples help. I'm glad if all forums point here regarding this issue because I now have the answer. The answer I was looking for from someone earlier was as simple as this {Download Maverick and reinstall the platform - it will take an hour to do but afterward 10.9.2 was installed and my computer is now able to shutdown and restart without having to do a hard boot.}  No more software update bar at top and no problems with my drive which I told both you and Grant - I know my computer better than you and I've probably been using them longer than you. 
    So again Babowa you were so wrong...... and I am right.
    Again anyone having the same problem, I suggest reinstalling Maverick and you'll be suprised 10.9.2 will work fine.

  • AGFA ppd driver worked but now reports the printer is busy?

    AGFA ppd driver worked but now reports the printer is busy?  The network location is definitely available by looking at the shared folders.  I can print through the network using the other Mac Book Pro that has the same OS and Driver.  This happened after the printers were cleared off and I had to reinstall them individually.  The driver was placed in th users profile printers folder and then applied to the IPP priter during setup a before.  -Any help is appreciated

    You're profile indicates your Mac has v10.5.1 installed.
    If that is correct, you need to update to v10.5.8.
    Click Software Update from your Apple  menu drop down menu or open System Preferences > Software Update.
    After the update is installed, restart your Mac.
    Turn off the printer then turn it back on then try printing via USB.
    If that didn't help, try here >  Mac OS X 10.5: Included printer drivers

  • Z87-GD65 Bios Update

    Hello everyone,
    I've been using Bios V1.10B1 since it's available. But to be honest I'm not quite pleased with it. I guess it's one of those Beta bioses. Having some stability issues with my RAM modules or something which I didn't have at v1.5. I had a random freeze since I did the update and also today the PC was rebooted while loading the windows 8.1. Then it booted fine. I'm not sure what cause this but I'm suspecting it's the bios.
    Anyways. Now I'm planning to do another BIOS update. But the latest BIOS versions on the official page and the forum flash tool page (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=169827.0) are different. Which one is the most stable and the official one? I don't want to hit another beta bios. The flashing process is stressful enough. :P

    I finally managed to finish the BIOS Update by using the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher with the attached archive 1A0.rar and all that seems to have changed within the BIOS were under System Information in „Settings\System Status“: (1.) CPUID/MicroCode has changed from 306c3/17 to 306c3/19, (2.) BIOS Version from E7845IMS V1.9 to E7845IMS V1.10, (3.) Built Date from 02/21/2014 to 06/04/2014 and (4.) that all settings except date & time were set back to defaults. I never thought that a BIOS update can take so long and be so complicated, but maybe this is only an indication that I am not a professional BIOS updater or/and that something went wrong.
    Since the MSIHQ USB Bootable Tool came as an installer only, I had to take an image of my Windows-System first and restore it after the BIOS update in order to avoid a permanent entry in the Control Panel under Programs. When I used the HP-Tool HPUSBFW_v2.2.3.exe for formatting the USB-Stick (4GB) the MSIHQ Forum USB flasher would install to it, but it was ignored by the BIOS under Boot Option #1 as if it wasn’t there, so that I had to use the „Fix my USB key“ choice of MSIHQ. The Memtest86+ seems to go on forever or until hitting ESC to quit this which I did after about almost an hour when 100% Pass was reached without Error and no indication that this test would stop on its own. There was no BACKUP.BIN file created on the USB-Stick as the README.txt indicated in case a BIOS recovery was needed, but I saved the previous BIOS before this Update using M-FLASH. The Clear CMOS Button on the Back Panel is a bit difficult to push, but it is easier than opening the case and finding a fitting jumper for JBAT1. And finally, reinstalling the Intel ME 90 Driver in Windows 7 over an already exixting installation made me a bit uneasy, but my Windows did not crash and there is still only one corresponding entry „Intel Management Engine Components“ under Programs.
    The use of M-FLASH was easier and according to the descriptin of this new BIOS v1.10 the M-FLASH function was to be enhanced, which sounds promising to strenghten hopes and nourish spirits for a better future .

    You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
    Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
    Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.
