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.

"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 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.

Will updating my P67A-GD65 BIOS delete my OC profiles?

basically, as the title says.
if I flash the BIOS on my MSI P67A-GD65, will it delete all of the OC profiles? or will all of the previous settings be kept?
also, what is the best, stable BIOS to date?
I'm tired of the irritating RAM issues with the older BIOS I'm using so I've decided enough is enough and I'm going to update it, provided my OC profiles and settings won't be deleted.
thanks.

Previous settings are maintained, but only guaranteed to work with your previous BIOS so use on a new version at your own risk as may cause unexpected results.
I do find this useful though as you can refer back to previous settings when duplicating for the new BIOS settings.
Don't forget to clear the CMOS whenever updating the BIOS too before applying new settings.
Best stable BIOS is the subject of much discussion. 1C was the last one that allowed O/C over 4.9GHz, 1FB5 was the last one that supported my config with an OCZ Revo as boot device (at less than 4.9GHz). 1E was the first one that supported my RAM @2133MHz out of the box....

P67A-GD65 bios?

Hi,
On the product page i see 1.6 as the latest? but even this goes to a broken link?
Where is everyone getting other bios updates from? and are they stable?
Thanks!

i bought a pre overclocked bundle with the below spec....with default settings i can install windows with a raid config...no sweat.
If i try OC genie(at 4.2ghz) i can get into windows fine...but 10 minutes into black ops and it blue screens.
with the OC profile provided by overclockers(4.6ghz) i can even boot into windows...it seems to struggle to recognize my raid config. i just get "machine check error" or a blinking cursor...sometimes it goes to shell command prompt.
each time i change the OC settings....i make sure raid is reselected and my boot options are reselected.....1/ HD 2/dvd.
ive been chatting with overclockers for a week now...and they seem to keep recommending the same things....then suggest trying a different drive setup. Which im confused by...i dont see the point in trying with IDE or AHCI....if ultimatly im aiming for raid 0 config??
I'm totally lost:(
...oh!!! thanks for the responses!!
...also! i cant update bios from 1.4 at mo...as itll invalidate my warranty.

P67A-GD65 BIOS Recovery/Reflash...is it even possible?

Had a weird issue take out my P67A-GD65 last week so I replaced it with a Z77A-GD65. However, I'd like to see if it's possible to recover/reflash the corrupted BIOS on the dead board before I break the board up and make keychain fobs from the shiny bits.
Background:
BIOS flash process went fine. Seemingly so, anyway. After rebooting, however, it's stuck in a loop and never makes it to the POST/BIOS screen. It powers on for about 4-5 seconds, then off, then back on, then off again, repeat Ad nauseam

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 03-April-13, 13:03:09
If and when a UEFI/BIOS flash is required, use the forum's USB method;
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
In the BIOS Section of the forum, you will find Beta's along with some full releases for some mainboards in the Beta threads.
If you do not intend to install an Ivy CPU, it is strongly recommended to only install Sandy UEFI/BIOS's.
If lucky, remove the PSU power cord, remove all but one RAM stick that is placed in the primary DIMM slot, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS, hope it will POST and/or boot. If it won't, a pc shop with an SPI flash programming device can restore it for you. Otherwise, an MSI Service Center can do it.
Thanks for the information. I'm betting it's likely bricked permanently, so I'll probably just toss it.

Help! Bios+ME Z87-GD65 Bios update will not work

Hey everyone,
I'm having an issue, trying to update the bios. I'm currently on 1.3 and trying to update to 1.B to no success.
I have run live update 6.11 which found the new bios and went to install, but because i run win7x64 it looks for Intel Management engine driver which is not available for the board, as it appears, as its installing the Intel ME driver it comes up saying my PC doesn't meet the requirements, assuming that because of x64 OS. ((OR ITS TOO AWESOME)) So No bios update..
So i then used the files i downloaded from MSI website for BIOS 1.B, go to m-flash in the bios, follow the prompts for "bios flash with ME" and FROZEN!
Nothing happens and if i didn't knock the mouse i wouldn't have realized for some time.. No progress bar no anything, frozen screen, so i hit RESET ! Try again... nothing... Same ...
Any help would be appreciated.

For me, I don't use the live update to update my BIO, I followed this guide and it work wonder, its also EASY and simple. Make sure you READ and follow the directions.

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 .

Z68A-GD65 BIOS Update Issue

I am trying to install a R290X and I know I have to update the BIOS to an Ivy bridge code. I downloaded the official MSI BIOS update tool from the boards as well as the latest BIOS. I created a thumb drive with the BIOS and when I go to flash the BIOS I get an error (see attachment). Any clue how to fix it? I tried to find something about switching to the second BIOS so I could download it from UEFI to the flash drive to reflash primary BIOS but no dice.

what is your current BIOS version?
and have you tried the card with it anyway?
and which one BIOS you are trying to flash? 25.8 or...?
if your current BIOS is for SB, then you need a special archive to be able to switch to IB BIOS

P67A-GD55 BIOS Update Fail

I have updated my P67A-GD55 from J0 to 4.10. It was ok and from 4.10 to 4.20. Now, my pc does not work. What I did was;
1. Downloaded bios from the MSI website
2. Put onto a USB drive
3. Flashed the BIOS via the menu in the BIOS
4. PC rebooted and continued to install some things
5. PC now, after reboot only nothing on screen, dvd drive makes a sound then reboots and keeps doing this.
I have tried to clear CMOS by pin...Also tried by removing the battery for at least 10 minutes...And also tried by removing RAMs...No joy at all...Please help me.

Try a full cmos clear, to make sure this occurs:
1.) Unplug the machine
2.) Remove the cmos battery
3.) Hold the power button in for about 10 secs
4.) Short the cmos clear pins
Then try to boot the machine with 1 stick of memory installed.
If you are unable to get the machine to post, you will need to:
1.) Send the board to msi for reflashing. (If it is underwarranty, you would only need to pay for shipping to msi)
>>How to contact MSI.<<
2.) Take the board to a computer shop that has an spi programmer for reflashing. (Cost varies)
3.) Possibly borrow an support ivy cpu (no gaurantee this will work, but free if it does) then flash back to me7 with a file we give you and reinstall your 2500k

GD65 bios update.

Due to the fact my GD65 came with bios version 1.00 i want to update it.
BUT I don't seem to be able to get mine to update. Live update recons there are no updates for anything yet bios v1.30 is available for download from MSI's website. I have manually downloaded it and tried to flash it from within the bios using MFlash and the only way i can do this is to put it on the root of my C: drive, it wont actually "see" any usb sticks, and when i do try to update from c: i get and error saying something along the lines of "incompatible file force flash Y/N."
Now flashing bioses makes me nervous at the best of times so i didn't force the flash.
I suspect this error is because the file is listed as a .130 file, if so should i rename it as a .bin or .rom or something else?
I really don't want to brick my mobo so thought it best to ask the experts.
Full spec as follows: -
GD65 mobo (as you my have been able to guess)
i5 750 (at stock)
4gb OCZ 1600
2x samsung 500gb f3's running raid0
XFX GTX260 BE
TIA

Hello,
please do not use MSI Live Update for flashing the BIOS. Windows based flashes come with a very high risk that can and should be avoided at all cost.
Also, recommend not to use M-Flash as long as you are using BIOS v1.0. There were some M-Flash related problems fixed in later BIOS Revisions but still exist in BIOS v1.0.
First of all, you should make sure that your system is 100% stable. As I can see, you are using factory overclocked memory modules. Please work with one memory module only, set the memory clock speed to DDR3-1066 for safety and then run memtest to make sure these settings are stable.
To update the BIOS, please let this tool help you to prepare an USB Flash Drive for a safer DOS Flash.
>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Many thanks for the linky i followed the instructions and am now running v1.3 bios.

Msi p67a gd65 bios 1.6 dont save

i the bios 1.4 work but if i update the bios whit new release 1.6 when save and exit dont save reset to default
i face cmos but dont save only whit 1.4

Quote from: Svet on 12-January-11, 06:19:39
By USB method you mean you used the ==> >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
or something else?
Hi Svet, yes - I used the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher.. along with all of the instructions given in the guides, including clearing the CMOS afterwards.
When I go back to 1.4, everything works again. I get the save issue in both 1.6 and 1.7b4 - the mouse freezes and the computer just sits there until hard reset.
I want 1.7b4 for the pll overvolt fix.. at the moment I can't get past 4.2 ghz with i7-2600k and a high perf noctua cooler, fairly sure it is not the cpu/temp/volts holding me back.
I also have a very strange issue in the bios is reporting my CPU as running at 20 GHz (which it clearly isn't) - although windows cpuz reports the correct speed. A very similar issue for my DRAM speeds, they are also reported as being something extremely high in the bios but are correct in cpuz.
There is also an issue with turning off spread spectrum in 1.6/1.7 - when I do this, the bios hangs (same way as it hangs when trying to save in 1.6/1.7, mouse freezes and have to hard reset).
In short quite a number of issues here.

Yes, was also a problem in v1.D. MSI are aware... You can still navigate the BIOS using the keyboard.
