P965 Platinum hangs and reboot on initialize USB

I have been running my signature system on BIOS 1.7 for a while without problems. Memory have been set to 2.2V.
But the other day system didn't boot ok after being shut down, it hangs a bit when posting and saying USB something (normally it just goes on and lists USB storage connected) and then reboots.
I put only one stick in and booted and got it to pass post screen, went to BIOS and upped voltage to 2.25V put all sticks back in and could boot. After shutting down the problem came back.
Took another round but now set 2.3V. This seem to have solved the problem. What could be the cause of this?

Why did you upgrade to 1.7 bios?
I went from 1.0B I recall. Just got the latest didn't check in here before.

After upgrading to ICS my Xperia mini (ST15i) hangs and reboot itself?

Ah I was very happy after getting official ROM of ICS but my happiness goes down very soon because now I'm facing many problems with my phone.
It is hanging most of the time at least once or twicw in a day, sometime hangs and reboot itself but sometime I have to estart it by remove the battery. When it hangs if my battery is at 90% and I remove the battery and put it back and restart it then it goes down to near about 70% or less.
Phone dial pad is very slow to open than 3rd party softwares. Back and Option key response very slow. I know this could be performance issue but this is too much.
However many apps goes to hang, mostley my browsers I wa using Boat and Dolphin HD browser and after upgrading I tries Chrome which also hangs. My phones battery drain so fast now also my phone heat too.
I tried to contact the support thorugh E-mail but still yet no reply so I'm here to ask this please help me guys. I have very slow bandwidth so please suggest me the good way to solve this problem. I don't want to downgrade but if its neccessary then I'll.

regarding the phone/dialer download Dialer One
regarding your battery life, you should check which apps are causing this
charge your phone 100% use it as you normally would then once it reaches 10%
settings > battery > take screenshots of this list an the graph, also tap on each item and take screenshots post them here
delete taskillers, antivirus, battery apps, ram apps as they slow down your phone, drain your battery and cause a lot of issues.

N95 Hanging and Rebooting

Recently i bought New N95 and i updated firmware V20. after updated, my system hanging sometimes and rebooting automatically when i using the phone, and back camera not working properly

I have the same problem too...
Phone hanging and rebooting after the use of some applications like, for example:
- video recording, the phone stops recording and reboots or stops "processing video" and reboots
- "Global race" game. It runs for a few seconds or minutes then reboots
- Wifi surf: after some time, reboots
I recently updated the phone to V20, before with the V12 the phone was running fine.
Of course I have "hard resetted" my phone two times, and re-applied the V20 update one time.
I've also re-formatted my two memory cards with the phone.
All of that with no success. Before I had a N70 and never have this kind of problem.
I seriously think It's a V20 issue. Is there any possibility to let it know to Nokia itself, for confirmation and correcting it in a future f/w release ?
I think you need to take it badly to nokia care points.

P965 platinum ide and sata problems

in bios om my mb it says that i have ide not sata >:(.
and i cannot see my cd-rom as an ide.
i have tried to update bios but it didnt work i tried liveupdate and usb stick.
when i set my mb to ahci function on my sata config, windows dosent find the disk in the os installation. and my computer cannot load windows.
in windows something is wrong with the cd-rom when i use it my computer is going slowly.
i think this problem is caused by the jbmicron software.
anybody who can help me with this problem??

Would much appreciate some help if anyone is familiar with this issue!
I'm having a very difficult time getting the the 965 Platinum to recognize my IDE devices, and I don't know why. I've got a Sony DRU-500A DVD burner in the master position, and a Maxtor 6L300R0 hard drive in the slave position. The jumpers on those devices are appropriate for their position. The devices are "usuable", that is, I've been able to run the Windows XP installer (up to a point) and writes have occured to my hard drive, but the installation fails after the portion where you reboot after all the files have been written from the install disk.
In any case, the Standard CMOS screen simply never shows any devices detected on either the IDE Primary Master or Slave entries. I've tried disconnecting the DVD drive and just connecting the Hard Drive as master instead with no improvment. I've also tried disabling the SATA configurations, toggling PCI IDE Busmastering. Nothing works.
I've never been able to boot into Windows.
There was a point where the JMicron Raid menu showed this drive as a raid drive for reasons that aren't clear to me (the drive may have been a raid drive in the past). I've set the drive back to non-raid, rebooted back into my old system and everything checks out. No problems at all, so I think that there are any RAID issues.
I'm not a pro at building systems, so there could be user error anywhere alonog the way.
Any ideas? I'm bamboozled!

P965 Platinum, Vista, and Raid

I spent a good couple of hours skimming the boards yesterday trying to set up my two new 320 SATAII hard drives in a RAID array. I ran into a ton of trouble, but then finally figured out part/all of my problem and got things working. I figure this information will be helpful for anyone who is trying to do the same. I'll post the most useful links I found at the end of this post as well...
heres what i'm working with:
MSI P965 Platinum
2gb OCZ DDR2 800MHZ 2 dimm kit
36.7 WD Raptor SATAII (as system drive)
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
Sapphire X1650 PRO 512MB PCI-Express
Antec TruePower TRIO 650 650W Power Supply
promise technology ultra ata 133 tx2 (the source of a ton of trouble)
originally i had vista ultimate x64 installed on a 36.7 gb raptor that was performing ok (once i did the extremetech suggested reghacks for lowdiskspace and 8.3ntfsfilenames), but not as well as my friends new computer with a blazing fast 500 gb stripe.
my bios was configured as such:
on board raid controller: ide
on chip ata devices -> sata 1 config: enhanced
...configure sata 1 as: ide
...sata 2 configuration: enabled
i shut down the computer, and changed
on chip ata devices -> configure sata 1 as: raid
then i was able to get into the raid setup with Ctrl + I, and set up my array. Here's where I ran into my first problem. I figured I wanted a raid 0 because I don't care soooo much about my data being lost, and i have never had a hard drive die on me (knock on wood) in the past 8 years (guardian angel). So setting up my array was working fine, except for i hadn't anticipated that i would have to choose an ideal strip size. The board suggests 128k, but after much deliberation I decided since I wanted the speed benefit for my OS and programs, I wanted 32k strip size; but having a 640 stripe for just the OS and programs seems huge, so out of curiosity I tried setting up two raid arrays (both across the same drives). The first was a 100gb raid 0 with a 32k strip size and the second was a 496.2 raid 0 with a 128k strip size. This worked fine, but then I got to thinking... can I set up the 100 gb array as a mirror? If so, then I get the best of both worlds since I can secure all my OS/settings/programs/documents, but I'll have a super fast (respectively) 400 gb drive for ephemeral memory and expendable data (replaceable stuff like ripped dvds, downloaded music and programs, downloaded anything...). This would all be at the expense of 100 gb which certainly seems worth it at this case because I wouldn't have to worry about the possibility of losing all my data like everyone seems to cry about all over the internet when talking about raid stripes. So i set it up, this worked fine... next step boot into vist ultimate and start installation.
Here proved my most annoying step, as my first problem occurred when I couldn't find the dvd/cd drive in the boot sequence menu. I saw the usb card reader drives, my raid arrays, and my raptor... but no dvd/cd drive (of which I had two connected). After scouring the web about that darned Jmicron chip, it appeared as if the bios cannot see the PATA drives on this board and I would have to try pressing F8 at the jmicron bios screen. THIS IS COMPLETE MISINFORMATION.
As stupid as it is, the real problem is that the boot sequence only displays 6 (i think it's 6) bootable media, and if you have anything else it just doesn't show it. This gave me the impression that the bios was unaware of my cd/dvd drives connected to the IDE controller. As soon as I unplugged my card reader, the dvd/cd drives appeared in the boot sequence... thank gawd because...
i had tried plugging my dvd/cd drives into the promise ata controller (which i already know lacks a vista 64bit compatible driver), which actually allowed me to boot into the vista setup whereupon I was asked (I did NOT have to press F6, even though everyone seems to think they have to) to install the driver for the dvd/cd controller (I assumed and was right that it was asking for the promise ata controller driver). I put the most recent drivers from their website on a usb stick, plugged it in, and the driver worked and then setup was able to see my dvd/cd drives (which is weird because how did I get to that point if it couldn't?).
Then setup said it couldn't find any drives, so I figured the problem was with the driver for the ICH8R intel raid controller. I downloaded drivers from MSI's website, intel's, and a bunch of others, and NONE of them worked. Setup would install the drivers, but it still could not see any hard drives attached to it. I'm not sure what caused this problem, but my best guess is that it had to do with the promise card being plugged in.
I gave up on that and figured I'd try something else, maybe the promise card was causing the problem. So I tried changing the ports that all my sata drives are plugged into. The two new 320's were on 0 and 2, and I also had a drive on 3 4 and 5. I read somewhere that intel had some array issues on 0 1 and 2, so I tried setting my 320's on 4 and 5 and moved my other drives around it. This is also when I had the idea to remove my card reader and pull out the ultra ata 133 tx2 card.
I was able then to see the dvd/cdrom in the boot sequence, put it first, and boot into vista setup. VISTA ULTIMATE DID NOT ASK ME FOR ANY DRIVERS AT THIS POINT. I'm not sure if it was the sata ports I had my drives plugged into or not, but at this point vista setup saw all my drives and I chose the 100 gb array and installation went smoothly.
Excellent… now I just have to install photoshop and see if it loads in 4 seconds like on my friends new computer with the stripe. If not, then I'll probably just cry.
Hopefully I've covered enough of the keywords in this description that anyone who has this problem will easily find this page. Remember:
JMICRON IDE DEVICES CAN BE SEEN BY THE BIOS
VISTA SETUP DOES NOT NEED ANY ADDITIONAL DRIVERS TO INTERACT WITH THE RAID CONTROLLER
SORRY IF THIS WAS A TON OF INFORMATION BUT AFTER ALL THE TIME I SPENT TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT I FEEL LIKE NO ONE HAD POSTED A FULL BLOWN SOLUTION
Hope this was helpful

I have the very same issue except two things. When I try to see why it will not load the Array I find that the first drive (Maxtor 6V160E0) is red and considered to be bad. Did you happen to notice if your system showed the same thing?
I have moved the drives around and it still corrupts the Maxtor 6V160E0. I have not tried to move them to the end of the SATA connections. I will try that and see what happens.
Other thing was the JMicron would see my NEC DVDRW, but thought it was a ACSI and it would only read at 12X. It even stated that in the OS. I then was told by the Techs that they have not had alot of luck with NEC drives. So, I purchased a LiteOn SATA II DVDRW, connected it to the JMicron SATA connector and it came alive. I then found it to turn out worthless DVD's and CD's. Not even that Drive would read them after burning. I got so ticked about the JMicron I just shut it off in the BIOS. I hooked up the drive to the #4 port and whala, no more problems with burn. Now it reads, writes, and re-writes at the stated speeds (also I needed to update the firmware twice since I purchase the drive. The MS updates did something to it and the new firmware fixed it.). I have never been able to get a drive to work correctly on the JMicron no matter who made it.
I sure hope that MSI has scraped any board that will ever use that controller. JMircon is not my friend!
I am going to get 2 more SATA II drives and try this without having to backup all my data.

P965 Platinum + strange beeps at start-up (USB related?)

Hi,
I just installed a new PC based on a MSI P965 Platinum. Everything seems to work fine but at start-up (when you see the BIOS detecting USB devices and the primary IDE) I get some strange beeps. There are about 5 beeps, and they don't sound all the same. When i remove all USB devices these beeps do not occur.
I have succesfully installed windows Vista and everything seems to work fine.
I have already update the BIOS to version 1.4, but no change.
Anybody any idea ?

you probably have a USB storage device that the BIOS is trying to boot and found it is not bootable, and hence BEEP
maybe you can disable Boot from USB in the BIOS to get rid of the beeping

P965 Platinum shutdown and driver problem.

Hi all.
I purchased the P965 Platinum a few days ago, and I got two problems.
1.
My computer will not turn off the power when shutting down. I got the message: "It's now safe to turn of the power"
2.
In Device Manager i got a "!" in front of the "Intel(R) ICH8 Family PCI Express Root Port 1 - 283F.
I got the latest inf-files and latest BIOS.
Anyone got a solution?
Cheers...

Changing the HAL made my computer freeze and operate very unstable.
But I've reinstalled XP and NOW IT WORKS!!!! YEAH!!!
My computer is recognized as an ACPI Multiprocessor PC, and there are no errors in the system device section.
It must have been the flashing of the BIOS that did the trick.
Thanks for all your answers guys.
I'll go back to loving my new computer now..

Apple TV 2 occasionally hangs and reboots

Despite a fresh reset and install of the latest ATV firmware. I still find occasionally when navigating around the ATV interface on my Apple TV 2 that it sometimes freezes and the cursor highlight will not move forward/backward/up or down... Then the next thing is the ATV appears to restart. During the restart I see the rotating cursor but no apple logo. I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue. It can occur at different places in the software including the front screen or navigating one of the menus in music or films etc. I have tried a couple of complete resets and it still happens. I live in uk and use iTunes Match 20,000 plus songs on the cloud and have two pc's set up for home sharing. The box is linked direct to my router over Ethernet cable... My internet is virgin media 100mbs.
Not sure if there is a problem with the latest firmware on ATV? Or if my device is on the blink?... Settings are almost at default except region is set to UK and screensaver set to iTunes Match floating album covers.
Just seeing if anyone else is experiencing the same issues

Sorry Winston these articles you have the posted links to, don't help as they are all wifi related and my ATV is connected over Ethernet cable, direct into my Netgear gigabit router model wndr3700.
I have not had the problems with the ATV until the last couple of firmware updates and other devices on my network are working fine (both wired and wireless connections) have no issues. Everything works and streams fine but randomly and every now and then when navigating around the ATV interface the thing just suddenly freezes and then appears to reboot... It only happens now and then and in different places. It particularly happens if I keep pressing the remotes up/down/left/right navigation buttons several times in quick succession.
It's like the interface is trying to catch up with my key presses, approx 3 or 4 presses in a row and the ATV gives up and reboots. That's the best way I can describe it. Like I say it has only occurred since the last couple of updates.... Prior to that the interface was quick and smooth and quick navigation was not a problem.

BB curve 9360 hangs and reboots by itself

my BB curve 9360 freezes for 10 mins quite regularly, bought it only 2 months back.
It reboots itself automatically no. of times without any reason.
I clear the cache from browser and other apps regularly, is it because of too many apps installed? I was told by someone that many people having this model of blackberry are facing the same problem, is it so? what can be done about it ?
Solved!

Hi sunny95arora
We can't say that they come through your Carrier network.So its better to use a call blocking application. As for OS is concerned yes you can install 7.1 in your device you are not bond or limited to your Carrier you can use any Carrier OS packagesall you had to do is just delete two vendor .xml files.

P965 Platinum Limited Start Up Beeps/USB problem

P965 Platinum Limited Edition
I have 5 USB devices plugged into my PC: my Printer and Webcam in the USB Ports next to the Lan Jack, my Mouse and Keyboard in the USB Port below those, and my microphone in the D-bracket 2 Connecter USB Port (JDB1).
With just the keyboard and mouse plugged in, I get the 2 (high) beeps at startup. With the two cables plugged into the port next to the Lan Jack, I get 2 low and 2 high beeps. With the other cable plugged into the D-Bracket port, I get 2 low, 2 high, and 1 low beep. You can see the pattern there. If I pull out the two cables next to the Lan Jack and leave in the one in the D-Bracket port, I get 2 high and 1 low beep.
Anyone have any idea what any of this means? (without listing post beep codes tables, I've been there, done that)

I stumbled across something online that made it sound like this was standard behavior for MSI boards? Basically announcing USB connections. My last two MSI boards did not do this, and I'd really like to make sure I don't have something else going on.

P965 platinum questions. Pointer problems

Alright I have a few questions. I just built a new pc using the p965 platinum board and I'm running into some issue. I was able to get windows going from a previous install. I have a logitech wireless combo mouse and keyboard and it will light up and the keyboard will work when I start the computer, however when I get to the windows login screen the lights from the wireless mouse dock go out and I cannot use the mouse or keyboard to get logged in. While those were plugged I also plugged in a wireless logitech laptop mouse and suddenly the other two came alive. I was trying to install the msi and video card drivers and when I rebooted it did the same thing, it went to the login screen and I couldn't use my mouse or keyboard. I tried the laptop mouse again but it would not work.
I cannot log into xp and I have no idea why the mouse and keyboard stop working as soon as the login screen comes up. I tried safe mode but the same thing happened. I have no idea what to do since I can't get logged into to change anything.
The next part is I cannot boot from cd and I'm not sure what button to push to force the computer to boot from cd. I have looked every where but I cannot find any information. All I want to do is to get the pc to boot from cd so I can install either vista or xp. I have gone into bios and and switched it to only boot from cd and yet it still boots into xp. Bios sees my nec dvd burner but it does not show me my samsung cd/dvd drive which is the secondary drive. Both the HD and the dvd rom drives are plugged into a pci IDE controller and they get detected on startup.
I'm not sure what to do since all I want is to reformat. I would appreciate any help. Like I said before it boots to windows and I was able to get into windows before it's just now my devices won't let me. Please help.ß

it has to be the driver, as WinXP doesnt come with Logitech driver built-in. What you need to do is to get a wired PS/2 or USB keyboard which Windows recognize. Get into Windows is your mission to accomplish. Otherwise, it's very difficult to know if your wireless keyboard/mouse are really working or not.
As you said you have access to the BIOS, you may change the boot sequence to load the CD first, then proceed with your Windows fresh instaLL. The boot list button is F8 or F10.

Does P965 Platinum 1.0 have 45nm support ? (I know 1.1 supports it)

Well I would like to buy a E8500 Core 2 Duo but I have the 1.0 version of the P965 Platinum Card and it is supposed to go up to 1000mhz FSB (not 1333).
I have read that 1.1 version support this CPU but would like to have confirmation that the 1.0 support it too (I just flashed it with 1.8 bios)
Thanks for your help

It should, but if you want to double-check, contact MSI technical support here:

P965 Platinum and XP hell - found a way

Hi guys,
I had ugly startup problems with the P965 Platinum and a Samsung Spinpoint SATAII HDD. So I want to share with you how I finally got there. I tried for a whole day to install XP as I wanted a dual boot with Vista. Trying XP Home OEM did not work, I got those blue screens we have seen in here. I tried everything, but to no avail. Two short beeps during startup also confused me, but forget about those for now. Well after hours of frustration I installed Vista. It worked! And told me that my Corsair RAM was probably OK, as well as my HDD. Then I had a drink too much and went to bed.
Today I slipstreamed XP with Service Pack 2, and managed to make a bootable CD. So now I got XP Home SP2. Tried again, and this time I got past blue screens...but when XP came to the first reboot...arghh no HDD. Today I was actually going to RMA the whole crap, but got a tip from the vendor.
On the MSI driver CD there is a IDE folder, with a "floppy" containing the AHCI ICH8 drivers. I read the readme and moved the files to a floppy, then put the floppy into the drive. Then I went into the BIOS and set SATA to AHCI. Started the install, pressed F6 and loaded the drivers from the floppy. I selected ICH8 AHCI, and XP was happy. During the installation it read the floppy once more and obviously recognized stuff. So here I am, up and running. Rock steady.
I think both MSI and vendors should inform us better about such.
I still got those two short beeps at startup, three if the USB CDRom is on. Can anyone please explain those beeps to me?
Cheers,

Glad you found your way out of "hell". The problems that threw themselves in your way are well known to many P965 Plat. users in this forum. It is good to see that you were able to solve them.

Usually it is one beep for each USB-device attached.

P965 Platinum and Realtek RTL8111B problem

I have a dual boot setup on my computer: Windows XP and Fedora 7 Linux.
After booting Windows XP I will have to COMPLETELY UNPLUG the power supply from my computer before booting to Fedora 7 Linux. The reason: If I simply reboot or turn off the computer (simply turning off does not remove the power from the mainboard), then the Realtek RTL8111B onboard LAN is left in a state which prevents Fedora 7 Linux from being able to use the LAN. Fedora simply reports the LAN is not available. The solution, which I find unacceptable, is to completely turn off the Realtek RTL8111B on the P965 Platinum and use an old Realtek 8129 PCI network board.
A better solution would be for the MSI BIOS to reset all of the Realtek RTL8111B LAN chipset's bits to a valid state so that Fedora 7 Linux would be able to properly recognize and use the onboard LAN.
Again, if I COMPLETELY UNPLUG my computer's power supply Fedora 7 Linux always finds and uses the onboard LAN. It is only after using Windows XP and rebooting to Fedora 7 Linux without completely unplugging the power supply first that there is a problem. This would seem to indicate the MSI BIOS is not resetting the Realtek RTL8111B onboard LAN chipset to a clean state when it initializes the system upon booting.
I am using MSI P965 Platinum BIOS version 1.4
John

Uhm, I'm having exactly the same issue under linux.
The router's led will stay off and it looks like there was no network cable connected (Realtek Ethernet controllers are insmod'ed and everything looks fine).
The only thing I haven't tried is unplugging the power supply's cable ... weird.
I'm also upset about this problem >:(
MSI P965 Platinum - BIOS v1.4

P965 Platinum and E6600 won't go to 3GHz

Hello,
I have a MSI P965 Platinum and a E6600. Currently I have two sticks of Corsair Value Select 1GB PC-5300 RAM, rated at 667Mhz 5-5-5-15.
The E6600's stock is 2.4GHz, and I want to go to 3GHz. This should be dead simple - not only can the E6600 usually clock much higher, but 3GHz will only require a 333Mhz FSB (9 x 333), which means my RAM doesn't have to be overclocked at all since it is rated for 667MHz DDR2. I should be able to obtain 3GHz with a nice comfortable 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio without stressing the Corsair Value ram beyond specifications.
However, it just won't work. I seem to be having RAM instabilities at 667MHz 5-5-5-15 and 333Mhz FSB. The reason I say RAM is because Memtest86 freezes, and SuperPi has a 'not exact in round' error in 16M and 32M - which apparently means there is a problem with memory stability. Now, I know this sounds like the RAM is faulty, but I don't think it is, because when I run stock 266MHz FSB, the system is fine at 4:5 divider to make the RAM 667Mhz. It's only when I increase the FSB (and not the RAM at all) does the system become unstable. At 266MHz FSB and 667MHz RAM, my system will pass any stress test, but not at 333Mhz FSB and 667Mhz RAM.
I've upped the CPU voltage 3 notches to around 1.350 or so under load. My ram is at 1.9v, although I tried 1.95v too. I didn't touch the chipset voltage (should I?). My temperatures seem ok - I'm only using the stock Intel cooler, but it should be able to handle 3GHz fine. It hovers around 48c idle, 60c load according to Everest Ultimate (before it crashes in SuperPi), so it doesn't appear to be overheating while overclocked. Not great tempts but acceptable.
However, there are two things I've noticed:
- In the BIOS, if I select CAS to be 5 or 6, CPUZ still reports my ram at CAS3 (which my RAM can't do at 667Mhz), or 3-5-5-15. However if I select CAS4, it reports CAS4 properly (still unstable though), or 4-5-5-15. This is only a problem when I overclock the FSB - at stock FSB, the CAS timings are reported correctly. It could be an issue with CPUZ, but I doubt it. If there is a bug with the P965 Platinum not setting the CAS right when overclocking, this might explain why I'm having RAM stability issues even though I'm not overclocking the RAM - i.e. because the board is not using the right CAS setting. Is this a known bug? Also, I tried Auto SPD but it tried to use 4-4-4-12 at 667MHz (again, which this RAM won't do).
- When I run 333Mhz FSB and 667MHz RAM, the POST shows some sort of error message about the board not supporting CPU's with a 267Mhz FSB or something (which is weird, because 266Mhz is the stock speed *shrug*), and that it's resetting it. Sorry I can't recall the exact error off hand, but I can try the overclock again and provide it later on if needed. Anyway, despite the error message, the overclock still applies - it will boot into Vista 64-bit at 3Ghz, it just won't pass any stress test.
Is it possible a BIOS update could help me? I run V1.4, and even though I know there is a V1.8 now, no newer version mentions anything about fixing overclocking issues. I don't like to update my BIOS unless necessary (and I don't even have a floppy drive anyway, would need to figure out how to do it via USB).
Thanks for any help. I'm certain my RAM isn't faulty and I'm certain my CPU should be able to reach 3Ghz surely. I'm also pretty sure heat isn't an issue. I think maybe the board is trying to force CAS3 when FSB overclocking or something? That's my guess anyway.

Thanks for the reply!
Sorry, I should have mentioned I was definitely achieving 1:1 - I recall the confusion over why my RAM was trying to be 800+MHz at 667 and then I realized 533 actually meant 1:1, 667 4:5 etc, so I am definitely running at 533/1:1. I doubt this RAM would even post at 800+ MHz.
So updating the BIOS may help? Ok thanks, I guess I will update then. I don't see it in the "fix" list though on the site. Is there a way I can get a *full* fix/enhancement list for 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8 so I know exactly what I'm fixing going from 1.4 to 1.8?
Also, does MSI support LiveUpdate BIOS in Windows Vista 64 yet? And if not, is there an official way to update via a USB stick? (no FDD here).
