Problem flashing other bios version than 1.2 on 848P NEO

Hi. I had a problem with my MSI-6788 motherboard. It has an AMI bios version 1.2. I had some problems with software because of the Hyper Threading technology. I searched for an option to disable it, but no such option is present in my BIOS setup, but the manual shows it. I wanted to flash another version of BIOS. But, gues what, all versions besides my present one, 1.2, wouldn't work. Please help.

Hi All!
There goes my signature.
I am flashing bios using AMI WinFlash (WinSFI) version 2.04, wich comes with Live Update 3 kit.
I found 1.3 version bios, on the U.S.A. mirror of msi (http://www.msicomputer.com), it is not present on the Taiwan mirror, but as i expected, has BIOS id '1I848XXX'. I will try it, but i don't think it would work. I found another version on the U.S.A. mirror for 848P-VL, version 5.0, tryed it, doesn't work. It had bios id '1I865XXX'.
I find it strange that my chipset is 848P and my bios string (shown at boot time in the botom of the screen) is: 63-1200-001169-00101111-04021-I865G-1I865XXX. As you can see, it includes the string 'I865'. Twice.
AMIBIOS Motherboard Identification Utility v 1.4 detects this:
An AMIBIOS ID String Was Detected:
   63-1200-001169-00101111-040201-I865G
    | | | |
    | | | Chipset/BIOS Info
    | | BIOS Build Date
    | Manufacturer ID
    BIOS ROM Information
AMIBIOS ROM Size: 512 KB
BIOS Build Date: Apr 02 2001
Motherboard Manufacturer Code Detected: 1169 - Micro-Star Int?l Co., Ltd.
Please Consults Micro-Star Int?l Co., Ltd. for support
AMIBIOS Build Tag: 1I865XXX
AMIBIOS Project ID: 1I865XXX Not listed in TAG.DAT file
SMBIOS info:
   Manufacturer : MICRO-STAR INC.
   Product Name : MS-6788
   Version : 10A
   Serial Number: 00000000
So, string 'I865G' should indicate 865G chipset? I found that this chipset comes on the MS-6728 motherboard. I tried to flash the latest version (it had '1I865XXX' bios id in the file), but ofcourse, it did not work. Is it posible that i have MS-6788 motherboard with 865G NEO2 chipset? I'm totaly confused :(.
A last question: I know that a flash memory chip can be written a number of times after wich becomes nonfunctional (at least that what autors of UniFlash utility say). I wonder how many times can i write to this chip, cos i did it enough times by now . All beacuse of that option wich should be present in my bios setup to allow me to enable/disable Hyper Threading. I hope someone would find an answer...

"verify error" when attempting to flash to bios version 67 on U330

I cannot update my bios version from 54 to 67 on my U330. After downloading the file 0FCN67WW.exe, right-clicking and selecting "run as administrator," it runs for about 3 seconds before a dialog box appears with the error "Verify Error." After that, in order to reboot my machine, it is necessary to unplug and remove the battery to force a shutdown. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Problem flashing T40 Bios

I have just bought a refurbished T40 with an out of date bios. This has the supervisor password set to lock down the bios so that none of the settings can be altered. However under Security>Bios Update Option>Flash Bios updating by End Users it shows the Current Setting as Enabled. Under Password only the Supervisor password is shown as enabled; the Power On and Hard Disk passwords are both shown as enabled.
When I use the update utility this proceeds as expected until the computer shuts down, but then it restarts as normal without showing the Bios Update Utility screen. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Welcome to the forum!
You'll have to find out what the Supervisor password is in order to flash the BIOS.
Good luck.
Cheers,

Problem flashing my BIOS

I have a 760GM-P21 (FX) motherboard. I know the drill: Create a Windows 98 boot disk on a flash drive, and put the bios file and utility on the drive. I booted to my flash drive, but ran into a problem. It said that it could not read the file. I downloaded the latest bios zip from the support page (can't post the direct link since the forum thinks it's an external link).
The command I used was utility.exe biosfile.hf0

Solved. I thought it was an .HFO file. Turns out the O was a 0.

Where did bios version 3.6 go for K8N Neo PL/SLI ??

I checked the bios update page and they seemed to have removed 3.6!? The latest downloadable is 3.4? I'm using 3.6 at the moment should I be downgrading? I am having trouble with cool n quiet, and ncq with the 3.6 bios...

No problems here with 3.6 BIOS - I have been running BIOS 3.6 in my MSI7100 (K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI) since 8/22/05 - I'm listening to music using my onboard sound right now. However, the onboard sound is different than the Neo4-f board that nheimler has. I have not checked if NCQ or C'nQ are working.
BTW, alphamodel, I notice from your sig that you are using an Antec Sonata II case with the MSI7100 mobo - this comes stock with their SMARTPOWER 2.0 450W power supply. According to Antec's specs this supply does not provide a -5V output which is required for the K8N Neo4 Pt/SLI mobo (MSI user guide, page 2-10, note 'MSI Reminds you...' at bottom of page). I assume you are not having any problems with this PSU - or did you change it or has MSI made a change to the mobo?
I have an original Sonata (not II) that comes with a True380S that DOES have a -5V output and was considering upgrading to the larger PSU but had a problem in that it does not specify a -5V output.
Thx,
ss

K9A2 BIOS versions

As in my sig below I currently have the K9A2 CF-F v1 motherboard and I have just purchased a K9A2 Neo-F to run my shiny new Phenom 9850 Black Edition. Both MB's appear to have the same model numbers e.g. 7388 ?
Here is the techinal data I can find on the MSI Global website:
K9A2 CF-F = MS-7388(v1.x) = G52-73881x1 [AMD 790X / SB600] - current BIOS version 1.6 (download available)
K9A2 Neo-F = MS-7388(v1.x) = G52-73881x5 [AMD 770 / SB600] - needs v1.6 for 9850 (no bios downloads available)
Question is: Do they both use the same BIOS?

Thanks guys, I guess the answer is Yes - they are the same. Here is the MSI Support answer to my query:
Well you already known that :

Yes its the same

I never use Live Update - always the USB Flash Tool.
USB Flash Tool has own Live Update too,{"Sure Hands"). It will auto detect your board and show the list of BIOSes for your mobo.
Just pick desired BIOS It will list not only the latest one, but all BIOSes so you can roll back if needs and even BIOSes that are not released yet.
Also it will check for latest Beta BIOS for your board, so if the latest official BIOS doesn't help with specified problem, you can ask MSI Tech to send you the listed Beta BIOS

MSI K8N Diamond + AMD 4800X2, stock bios version

Greetings ppl
Does anyone know if the MSI K8N Diamond SLI mobo comes with an updated bios version in order to support amd x2 cpus? I'm ordering one in the next days
And on another matter, will two Corsair XMS 1G DDR400 (latency:3-3-3-8) work with this mobo?
Thnx in advance

It did not come with compability in my case, I bought my MB in Norway. I assembled everything and booted up. The POST screen told me that I had an Athlon processor but the model number was unknown. However I was able to flash my BIOS using a Win98 boot disk and the latest BIOS from MSI (just follow the instructions included in the BIOS release). Notice that I did the flashing before installing anything on the computer.
In short you should have no problems flashing the BIOS, and thus making the MB recognize the Athlon 64 X2 CPU.
The only way is to updates the latest BIOS 1.9 in order to make it recognised for your mobo.

It's depends actually cos sometimes the BIOS is old type and if you're lucky you'll get the new version of the BIOS. That RAM's it works for the mobo. So good luck.

Anymore BIOS Version for CQ40-314TU

I have an HP Compaq CQ40-314TU and it is using the BIOS version F11C to install Windows XP (Originally, it used a BIOS version which I didn't know to install Vista). Unfortunately, when I turned it on and used Dxdiag to view the system properties, It showed that the RAM were 986 Mbs (I installed 2x512 MB sticks) due to onboard Intel VGA, I think. When there is Kaspersky Antivirus installed, the startup process costs 4 minutes and there is NO option to adjust the onboard VGA. Is there any other BIOS Version that I can use to replace the current one? I know for sure that there will be somone in this forum tells me that I should turn off any unnecessary service or program that interfere with the startup process. I have tried all of these but it is useless to do so. Thanks all

WinFlash for HP Notebook System BIOS - Microsoft Windows-Based
I guess it means it was specifically created to run alongside Windows...
altough it says on the underlying description:
Description:
This package contains the WinFlash Utility and a System BIOS image for the supported notebook/laptop models and operating systems. The WinFlash Utility is used to locally flash the System BIOS (ROM) on notebooks/laptops operating in a Microsoft Windows Vista Operating System environment.
and it does only says Vista... I would not recommend doing it on XP... not unless you have got Vista right now, flashed the BIOS then downgrade back to XP... which would be a lot complicated and long process that you are to take...

ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.60 Update Problem cause Blank Screen on Qosmio X505-Q870 HELP Needed!

I have a Qosmio X505-Q870 that I bought 3 months ago. I updated to ACPI Flash BIOS version 2.60 today, as suggested by the Toshiba installation tools. I ran the update in Windows 7( didn't know this is dangerous) and it successfully completed, before it shuts down normally. When I try ti turn it on, the power LED is on, but the screen is blank. I tried to turn it off by pressing the power button for 20 seconds, but the computer would not turn off. What should I do now?

How flash to old bios version (GT780)?

How can I flash my bios of the GT780 notebook to the previous version of the bios? Currently, the most recent version is installed: 1761_10E.zip
I might wonder why I would like to do this: I have some problems with my laptop (see other posts) and I'm not sure these problems were there when the old version was installed. I would like to find out whether the old version would solve the issues.

Quote from: Svet on 05-January-12, 02:03:02
and what was your old version?
I don't know :( :(
I bit of a long story: my brand new laptop had a defective USB port. MSI flashed the bios to the most recent version and on return I noticed the fan issue (the issue I PM-ed you about). Didn't notice this before, but I'm not 100% sure about this. So I would like to try to flash it to an older bios version if possible. MSI tried to repair the fan issue, but they didn't succeed. All in all: bought this laptop after summer and up to now not been able to use it because it has been longer for repair at MSI than on my table...

Client Flash Player, older version problem!

Hi folks
I made a project with Flash Builder 4 with default SDK... It can be run in Flash Player version 10.0.45.2
But there is a problem: If client Flash Player is older than it (like 10.0.2 or 9 or less), there is no message and just client can see a solid page and nothing more.
How can I fix that? How can I give the client a message to download a last version of Flash Player? or how can I check if the client FP is older, download the last version automatically?
regards

GTX 580 Twin Frozr II O/C - confused by bios version number, and how to flash

Hi, my first post here. But I've been reading a bit here. Still, I get confused by this whole vga bios thing, version numbers and how to flash... Ok, so here's my situation:
I have two PC's. Both with one MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 card inside. It seems to me that both are working according to specifications, GPU-Z reports:
GPU clock 800 Mhz, Memory 1024 Mhz, Shader 1600 Mhz for the borth of them.
Now, one of them seems not to be totally stable (this is the newest I bought a few days ago). It locks up/crashes in some games. The other seems ok, I've been having that one for a while. Could this be a GPU core voltage problem? GPU-Z reports for the both of them:
VDDC 0.955 v
I've tried running MSI afterburner, changing core voltage to 1025, and in afterburner settings enable "Force constant voltage". Still, GPU-Z, which I keep running at the same time, still reports only 0.955. I thought this setting in Afterburner would change voltage to 1.025? This situation is for both the old one and the new one.
Now to the Bios "problem".
The newest card (the not so stable one) reports through GPU-Z: Bios Version 70.10.20.00.01
The oldest (stable) card: Bios Version 70.10.17.00.01
So... which one has the newest bios? Seems to me it is the newest card.
BUT - when running MSI Live Update 5 (newest version) it says for both the cards that they have the the newest bios version, and there's no need to upgrade??
SO - I go to the MSI webpage: http://no.msi.com/product/vga/N580GTX-Twin-Frozr-II-OC.html#?div=BIOS to download the newest bios manually, just in case.. But there it gets more confusing. The Bios version found there is :NV255MS.104(.zip).
And also, on that page I can not find how to use that file. Extracting it just gives me the file NV255MS.104 and no extension.
So, which bios is the newest one? 70.10.20.00.01 (the highest number, in the new card, but not stable in some games), 70.10.17.00.01 (in my old card, but seems stable in the games I've tried), or NV255.104 (which I don't know how to use).
I've flashed my main board bios many times over the years in various set ups, the bios on two different SSD disks and so on.. never had a problem with that, or finding out if I have the correct bios, how to do it and so on.
Maybe I'm stupid, but this MSI Twin Frozr II O/C GTX 580 bios thing confuses me a lot... So, how do I solve this situation?

I am also interested in the answer as I have 2 MSI N580GTX-M2D15D5/OC cards. I can find the latest BIOS file "NV801MS.KG4.zip" and know the version is "KG4". But how do you relate this to the current BIOS version Afterburner or GPU-Z provides? The version they each provide is "70.10.17.00.01" for both cards. The only other way to determine if they are up to date is to install and run MSI Live Update. MSI Live Update responds that they are up to date with no current version or online version information on the Live Update tab. At least the information on the Home tab states the same VGA BIOS version as GPU-Z and Afterburner. I can can only assume that the BIOS is updated by using MSI Live Update.
Also just for the additional information GPU-Z displays my VDDC as 1.039 briefly then 0.995 constantly when switching between cards. I actually have the cards set to 1.050 with Afterburner to be stable when running Crysis 2 DX11 updates.

Having problems flashing MS-7185 K8N Bios

ive been attempting for the past day or so on trying to flash the bios on my 6+ year old computer. i have a MS-7185 K8N SLI V1.0 board. (theres also a number that says N1996) my current version is "0."? which is weird to me. the reason im trying to update my bios is because i found out my current bios has overclocking features. but when i try to bump up frequencies, after it reboots according to CPUZ im still sitting at 2.4Ghz. like the overclocking features didnt stick. but yet ill get random freeze ups (about once an hour) unless the frequencies arent set to normal. thats when i hit google and found out my bios is out of date.
some more specs: amd athlon 64 4000+ (yes i know i need to upgrade). 4GB RAM, dual 9600GT video cards. windows 7. i can get more specific details if needed.
ive tried doing the DOS USB mode by using HP USB disk format tool/windows 98 boot disk files with no success.
not 100% sure how to do it, but in the command line i typed "awfl865" which brought up the phoenix award flashing utility thing. then i typed "w7185nms.180" which from what i understand is the bios image. the farthest i seem to get is after what i think is backing up or saving the current bios it will say "target file not found!" or something like that.
ive also tried to do it via Live Update 5 "in windows" mode with no success either. it will download the file, make a bootable usb disk. as soon as i hit restart....the system will not restart. ive waited 10 minutes.
ive also tried Live Update 5 DOS USB mode with no success. once i get the computer rebooted into the command line, the two areas that are supposed to show my current board name (i think) and current bios version, will show as blank. it will say "do you want to continue flashing y/n" and it will not allow me to press y. almost as if the program freezes. or my keyboard doesnt register. idk.
*edit* idk how to use MFLASH
i am stumped. i would love to have my bios updated. not only so i can retry overclocking, but just for peace of mind knowing my board is on the latest update. any help would be greatly appreciated
