P965 Neo 7325 BIOS update issue

Hello, I'm having a problem updating my bios. I recently upgraded to win 7 64bit home premium and installed 4gb of ram 2x2g corsair xms ddr2 along with the 2x512mb of corsair xms2 ddr2 memory that was already in the pc. My problem started that the bios doesnt recognize all 5gb it on shows 3.25gb. I've tried a few different approaches to the situation nothing has worked. this is how i have the memory seated in the dimm slots cpu> 2gb|512mb|2gb|512mb. I tried to clear cmos still nothing, unchecked the max memory setting in system config. I've tried just using the 4gb and still reads 3.25. So i downloaded the most recent BIOS update tried to update and i get the error saying its not compatible with the version in windows i'm using....Im at a loss and do not know what else to do..any help would be greatly appreciated.
Mobo - p965 Neo
cpu - intel p4 e6600
mem - corsair xms2 ddr2 2x2gb and 2x512mb 800mhz

The memory latency is awful again,but lets hope that the MSI engineers will spot that this year

Maybe you should wait until the official release before starting to contribute in a negative way.
I understand that you're not content, but this is not the place to complain. Contact MSI in your country for this. We cannot help you solve these kind of issues, since we do not work for MSI support.
Thanks for the info,but I'm here just enough to know what do we do here on this forum I don't expect from any of the forum members to solve any issue that was made from MSI. But,we can learn from our experience-right If I understood correctly,then we shouldn't talk about any issue here,but just call the nearest MSI support??
About this BIOS release(I'm sure that it will become official till the end of the week),or any other for this board,we have discussed here a lot,and at least some alternate way was found to set the memory timings correctly and then get more decent latency.On the other hand,it's OK to inform the users of P965 Neo that this BIOS will not solve this issue,and therefor if they were planning to upgrade the BIOS with this release for that reason,they won't now.

I will try the second option you recommended,thx alot.
Hello, welcome to forum. if you are planing to update BIOS:
get P965 Neo BIOS ver. 1.6 CD Image (have modded boot record and integrate JMB361 Dos drivers.)
How do i flash it?
Extract image file from archive, and burn it to CD.(example: open it with nero burning rom and burn image file to CD)
Make and ensure PC is stable, then reboot PC and boot from CD. you will need to confirm twice BIOS update when asked.
after BIOS update is complete successfully, power down your PC, remove power cord from the PSU, hit few time power button to drain electrify from capacitors, touch some metal with hands to discharge any ES which you may have, then open the case and Clear CMOS then pull back power cord, and turn on your PC, will be notice CMOS CHEKSUM MISMATCH/ERROR, hit F1 to continue to rebuild DMI Pool Data, then reboot your PC, and enter in BIOS and LOAD BIOS DEFAULT, SAVE AND EXIT, go back to BIOS and apply your customs settings.
if you want to use USB key to flash BIOS, copy AWFL865.EXE & W7235IMS.160 to USB drive, reboot PC and boot from bootable location, (hold "SHIFT" key when starting loading from bootable device to bypass startup files to avoid loading memory managers and other applications) navigate to folder which containt flash program and BIOS file and type from there:
AWFL865.EXE W7235IMS.160 /cks/sn/py/cc/cd/cp/wb/ld/qi/f/e

MSI-6712 BIOS update issues

I have a PC, running XP Pro SP3, which was built for me nigh on 9 years ago.
Motherboard: MSI-6712 (KT4V-L) Version 1.0 (North Bridge KT400A Rev 80, South Bridge VT8235 Rev 00)
CPU: AMD XP2800+ CPU (Socket A 462, 3000 MHz)
Memory: 1.0GB DDR
GPU: nVidia GeForce FX-5200 (128 MB)
About 4 years back I considered updating the BIOS, but the MS LiveUpdate utility (v 3.5 I think it was) no longer worked (wrong URL). Tried updating it, but the update (can’t remember the version) shut down my system whenever I tried to use it. So I rolled back and left it.
Recently, a program I was evaluating (running on .Net 4 Client Profile) caused my PC to freeze up and after uninstalling I discovered all manner of problems with USB peripherals (recognition and auto-play issues).
Tried to restore a backup (Retrospect Express HD) from a Maxtor One Touch III external drive but it wasn’t having it, presumably because of the drive recognition issues, and a straight System Restore wouldn’t complete (because XP would freeze at log off).
I feared there had been hardware damage, but decided to try a clean re-install of XP Pro. The person who built the PC had left a folder of system set up files (VIA chipset 4in1, LAN, RealTek AC97, nVidia drivers, utilities etc) on the hard drive (which I backed up) but when it came to installing XP, I couldn’t figure out which chipset drivers to install, as there were multiple versions (presumably for his purposes). So I let XP install the default windows drivers and then replaced them with the latest VIA 4in1 set for the KT4V-L from the MSI download page (can’t post link) – driver version 5.11a, release 20.4.2007
Seemed to go well, but it was suggested to me that it might be a good time to update the BIOS. So I installed MSI Live Update 5 and ran a scan. Strange thing is that an automatic scan (which pulls up just the nVidia driver and utilities) reports that none are installed and a manual scan reports that the BIOS, Drivers and Utilities are the latest version and no there is need to update. How can that be? I’ve never updated the BIOS and the only other utility I re-installed is PC Alert 5.
Yet when I run a SIW (System Information for Windows) scan and it reports the following:

How is it that Live Update 5 doesn’t pick this up?
So, apologies for the convoluted post (thought it best to explain the events leading to this), but what to do?
1.   Do I need to update the BIOS, given that it has never been done and I now have the latest VIA 4in1 drivers installed?
2.   Why is Live Update 5 not reporting the status correctly and is there anything I can do to correct this.
3.   Otherwise, if a BIOS update, is warranted, should I go ahead and download directly from the Global MSI webpage and then which version? (can’t post link). I note from the version descriptions that it was v1.7 (26/12/2002) that added support for AMD XP 2800. Strange then that the guy who put together my PC, would not have updated the BIOS from v1.0 to 1.7 at that time!!
4.   Should I also update the nVidia driver, and if so, when? Before or after a BIOS update or is that irrelevant?

5.   One other thing that concerns me is that the SIW scan reports that the BIOS is reporting wrong values for the DDR memory. What’s that about?

Sorry for cross-posting to another forum, but this has got me in a twizzle
http://www.windowsbbs.com/pc-hardware/89688-need-ram-recommendations-msi-kt4v-l-2.html#post493343
According to the poster (Post #30), the KT4V-L can support 3gB DDR400.
I looked at the MB in my PC and it is in fact stamped MS-6712 KT4AV v10A (assumed 1.0A ). Both CPU-Z and SIW report it as a MS-6712 v1.0 (BIOS 07.00T 04/02/01, Firmware 101.114)
According to the MSI product webpage, the only difference between the KT4AV and KT4AV_L is that the latter includes an (optional) on-board 10/100 LAN.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4AV.html#/?div=Detail
The ethernet port on my PC is (as described in Device Manager) is a Via Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter, whereas in the listed MSI specifications, the optional 10/100 LAN is stated to be a VIA VT6103 LAN controller. So possibly then I was mistaken in assuming that my MB is a KT4AV-L.
Even so, if the statement about the KT4AV-L supporting 3gB DDR400 is true, surely this also applies to the KT4AV ?
Looking at the available BIOS updates on the MSI page, I can see no mention of an upgrade in DDR400 capacity:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4AV.html#/?div=BIOS
Edit: Ah, the guy in the post specifically refers to a KT4V-L v1.1 not KT4AV-L and I see that it is different product:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4V---KT4V-L--v1-0-.html#/?div=Detail
What's confusing is that they all designated as MS-6712. So if anyone, like me, does a look up under MS-6712 they could pull up either version, and since the KT4AV/L and KT4V/L have different BIOS update series, I can see how someone could easily flash the wrong BIOS.
That aside, the memory specifications for the KT4V/L are essentially the same as those in the User Guide that came with my KT4AV:
Supports up to 3GB PC1600/2100/2700/3200* DDR SDRAMs
*See Glossary for recommended DDR400 modules - with the largest listed module capacity being 2 x 512MB
So where does this "up to 3GB DDR400 capacity" notion come from. I'd really want to believe it. And if the guy in the PC shop is to be believed, I'd settle for just 2GB.
Edit 2: Oh, boy, so there is a separate product listing for the KT4V-L v1.1:
http://us.msi.com/product/mb/KT4V-L--v1-1-.html#/?div=Detail
Yet, the memory specifications appear to be the same as those for the other MS-6712 versions and BIOS updates are the same as those for the KT4AV-L (very confusing). In fact the downloadable User Guide is the same - 'KT4AV MS-6712 (v1.X) ATX Motherboard'.
Am I missing something here?

X220 BIOS Update issue

Hi
I recently flashed my BIOS (going from 1.26 -> 1.31) prior to installing Windows 7 x64 on a new SSD on my X220. The BIOS update seemed to work OK (I used the lenovo Windows utility to do it), but now I can't save any changes to any BIOS settings. I also cannot reset to defaults - I can't even select some options in the BIOS (e.g. anything to do with UEFI) - the cursor just skips over the lines on screen - and those I can select don't respond to any changes I try to make. I don't get any errors either in BIOS or in Windows, and my X220 boots OK, but obviously there's something wrong there.
After updating the BIOS, I installed the SSD (a Samsung 830) and installed Windows on it - all this worked OK although I was planning to switch to UEFI for the new install and couldn't do so because the BIOS is now uneditable. Everything in Windows seems to work OK.
I've tried re-running the BIOS utility but it reports that the BIOS is up to date and it won't re-apply the current update.
I've checked to see if anyone else has reported this issue here, and found a few reports with similar issues but different situations (e.g. people running Linux rather than Windows, or Wifi not working after the update) - but not this issue exactly.
I'm wondering if this will fix itself when a new BIOS version is released and applied - if that's likely, I'm happy to wait until then (so long as nothing breaks in the meantime). I'd rather do that than pull the CMOS battery (which has been recommended on a few similar threads on here) - but given that the BIOS seems to now be frozen on my machine I'm not sure if future updates will even work.
Has anyone else seen this issue?

Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
Please try updating the Bios using bios.bak file which is created during bios update .
You need to locate the bios file folder on c drive , then find bios.bak rename it with FLASHABLNew.ROM
And click on winplash.exe , use Browse option to " Specify new Bios file " and select FLASHABLNew.ROM
Then click on flash bios , it will flash a message that the bios you are trying to update is older than current version , Press Yes to continue
Press Yes , If every thing goes well , your system will restart and you will have your old bios were you can modify or change any option
Now delete the folder which has the latest bios
Download the latest bios and try to flash to check if you are able to modify or change any option under Bios
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!

Neo 2 bios update

my neo 2 865 pe reboots when i surf the web may a bios update to version 1.9 fix it where can i get the 1.9 bios

Use LiveMonitor, or LiveUpdate, or download from MSI site.
It might fix it, but since you don't say what you have in your system and how you are connecting to the net, who knows?

[Athlon64] MSI K8T Neo FIS2R BIOS Update when? CnQ no workie!

The MSI K8T Neo FIS2R (MS-6702) hasn't had a BIOS update since 3-4-2005!
I put a Sempron 64 3000+ in my motherboard, and was very disappointed that it is recognized as an "AMD Unknown Processor". Sure, it works, but one of the reasons I bought it is in the hopes of getting AMD Cool n Quiet to work. However, apparently the AMD driver can't recognize the CPU due to the old BIOS on the motherboard.
Every other MSI skt 754 board supports Sempron E6 revision already. Why not the K8T Neo FIS2R? Where have all the MSI BIOS programmers gone? I have been waiting 2-months for a BIOS update to support the E6 Semprons. I have asked and begged MSI Tech Support. I am tempted to switch to ASUS or some other company that is actually timely with BIOS updates. Only reason I haven't yet, is this board is everything I want EXCEPT for Cool n Quiet not working. It's starting to look like there is no BIOS update in sight, so I am very disappointed.
Anyone here work for MSI can confirm there are no plans for a BIOS update? Because I don't want to wait around for something that's not going to happen.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply I thought the mods here are MSI staff... I was just kind of hoping there's MSI staff lurking here, seeing what people think of their products or seeing what people complain about.
No, pretty much C 'n Q is the only reason I'm disappointed, but it was something I was really set on getting to work since this is a server that's up 24/7, but isn't utilized but maybe 4hrs out of a given day. I could reduce frequency and voltage, but unlike C 'n Q, it won't automatically increase speed and voltage based on demand - which is something I want since although it's a server, I also use it as a regular PC as well.
I've even tried the 2.33 beta BIOS with no change, and even found a 5.52 BIOS in their BIOS testing directory. I guess that BIOS was for a different kind of 6702, although I had pulled out the peripheral modules with AMI's MMTOOL and they looked the same as the existing BIOS, but that BIOS killed my motherboard so it couldn't have been for a regular 6702. I had to desolder the BIOS chip with a heat gun, reprogram the old BIOS back on it with an EPROM programmer, and solder in a socket. I guess that shows my dedication to get C 'n Q working!

BIOS update issues

I've got two N770 TF 2GD5/OC's.
I ran Live Update and it suggested a BIOS update to NV282MH.301. I'm not very BIOS savvy, so stupididly I said ok, everything went smooth and computer restarted. My issue now is when I have SLI on and a game in full screen it shows what its supposed to but with constant quick flickers. This doesn't exist when SLI isn't on, and I have swapped the cards and pinpointed it strictly to SLI.
I have no idea what to do and don't want to mess with the BIOS unless I have some help. What do I do!?

The BIOS version is NV282MH.301 for BOTH cards. I'm sure my problem is 1 is incorrect for one of my cards as to they were purchased at slightly different times. If you come to the conclusion that this is true (I did find you answer someone else with ROM's to install) and you give me ROM's I need a little explanation as to how I install them.
after checking, yes the 1st card has the wrong BIOS installed

BIOS updating issue on Satellite 3000 -X11

Hello,
I found a lot of people complaining of this same issue.
I found no solution posted. Most threads (now locked) ended with people saying "Don't update your bios if it is running okay"
This computer is not running okay and I would like to update the BIOS.
The issue is that the bios update says it failed due to the update not being for this model of computer.
The laptop is a Satellite 3000-X11. I have downloaded the v1.6 BIOS update for the Satellite 3000-X11
So I am not sure why it makes this complaint.
Please advise if there is something more I can do here.
Also please know the BIOS update procedure I followed was exactly per the instructions.
Thanks,
Jonathan

(sorry about the name change. Somehow ended up with two profiles when I accessed the forums via a different country site)
As per my original post... the computer does NOT run okay.
That is why I wish to try updating the BIOS.
It has issues with it not starting or starting but with a screen that is so dimmed it looks blank. Looking really hard at it I can see it is not blank, just VERY VERY dim.
I wish to update the BIOS just in case that fixes things.
The BIOS update complains that the PC is not the right model for this update, when it is the right model.
Thanks,
Jonathan

700-410xt bios update issues with sp70148

The HP support Assistant program notified me to install the Bios Update SP70148 Version 80.20Ap1. I have tried to install it many times to no avail. I've even went directly to this support site and downloaded it directly and it still doesn't install properly.
I've tried running it with my Norton 360 AV turned off - It didn't work
I've tried opening the machine in Windows Safe mode and insatlling, and it didn't install
I've checked the Bios version and it says AMI 80.19 7/18/2014
Each time I go to install it, it will ask me if I want to overwrite existing files and I say yes to all
It then opens up a Command Prommpt windows, it does something and than automatically restarts the computer.
Each time I've checked the Bios and it doesn't change.
Can you offer any advice

Same issue here. Have tried allowing the automatic update and also manually updating. Not sure what the problem is. Also, the bios update alert indicates that this is a critical, security related BIOS update. I'm not sure what in the BIOS would relate to system security, but it seems very important and I hope this is resolved soon.

P965 Neo-F BIOS settings

Hey guys,
I am using P965 Neo-F with the official bios 1.60.
Many guys mentioned settings of FSB:Memory to 1:1 (divider) in bios,
I have never found such a option in my bios. So where is it SPECIFICALLY??
sorry that I am a noob. the reason that I want to do this is my computer won't boot on restart. I have to mannually hold the power botton to shut down and reboot by pushing power again. the FSB was set to 333MHZ. PSU is 650W antec. system is stable when it is working.
thanks!

I really need to update bios because i have some LAN PXE boot failed and other littles bugs to fix. I think that no rom file inside the update file iso, and no XMS driver (a20 control line!) present causing error update file was not found on cd.
Thanks to help me and bring a fast correction.
Alain Carignan from Compugen INC.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Things to try:
1. go into BIOS setup
2. go the Security menu -> Secure Boot and make sure secure boot is disabled
3. go to the Startup menu, change the option for "UEFI/Legacy Boot" to "Legacy only"
4. press f10 to save and exit
Does the BIOS update CD work now?
If not, try changing step 3 to set "UEFI only" and retry

BIOS Update Issue For MSI 7058 rev 1.0 915P/G Combo

I updated my bios from 1.0 to 1.9
and the monitor screen went black while updating. Now the LED Diagnostics in the D-Bracket shows two horizontal position orange LEDs at the bottom portion and two yellow green LEDs at the upper position. what is wrong as i cannot boot as there is totally black screen only. And it seems the BIOS update failed and i have no rescue disk.
Can you please advise me or can something be done? perhaps direct me to where i can get a new BIOS.

BIOS Recovery Feature
For AMI BIOS
1. Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
2. Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
3. When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.

may you please advice AMI BIOS Ver. or release # to use? as the most appropriate to use to recover the BIOS available download is ver. 1.1 to ver. 1.9.There is no release 1.0. Your advice is most welcome!

BIOS update issue on Satellite Pro L40-15A - Old BIOS can't recognise EEPROM

Hi
I'm having trouble flashing my bios.
I have a Satellite Pro L40-15A.
The Toshiba winflash tool that comes with the bios file tells me that the 'Old BIOS can't recognise EEPROM'
I was recommended to use AFUDOS on another forum but that tells me the bios has an invalid boot block.
AMI flas for dos tells me the flash rom is write-protected??? There is no option in bios to disable it and I don't think anyone would be dumb enough to put a hardware Bios protect jumper on a laptop.
Please help
Thx

Hi and thanks for reply
The 5.10 bios update is only for XP laptops, my one came with windows vista installed so I need v2.20
"old BIOS cannot recognise EEPROM" is the error message i get when i try to flash the bios with the supplied software from Toshiba
_+UPDATE:+_
New verion of BIOS update has worked!!
Case could be closed
