Problem updating bios

Here is a question related for bios. I have a ms6534 mother board which current has 1.1 version of bios on it. In order for my prosscessor to work i need to put on 1.4 verison of bios on it. I manage to get into the program to update bios and save the old bios. But when a go load the new version into it, it start to over write bios, it comes up with an error that is "Flash ROM erasing error". I have no clue what this means. came someone because ecplain what i should do to update the bios. Thank you!

you sure award bios...
Award and AMI both are different bios and are using a different flash utility...
you are luck that your board still 'alive'...
you confirm the board model number is ms6534...
if yes, think you better contact your msi local distributor for help...

Satellite A210 - Over heating and problem updating BIOS

My aunt was having problems with her A210 so she bought herself a new one and gave me the old one. The problems she was having was the computer kept randomly shutting down. I think it is an overheating problem because the laptop runs pretty hot. The BIOS has never been updated so I was thinking that might help with this problem. Anyways, when I tried to update the BIOS this error message came up.
Cannot load driver C:\Users\Dan\Desktop\MK10AWF\PHLASHNT.SYS.
Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator privilege, please login again!
Access is denied.
Error code: 5
I am the only user on the computer and I have administrator priveleges so I'm not sure why this error is coming up. Please help. Thanks

> Has anyone else experienced overheating problems with the A210? Any solutions?
Hi mate
Im an Satellite A210 owner and to be honest an higher internal temperature could happen if the notebook would not get enough air in order to cool the internal parts like CPU and GPU.
Some weeks ago I used the notebook lying on the couch I didnt notice that the cooling ventilators which are placed at the bottom of the unit were clogged because of my relax position if you know what I mean ;)
After a short time of usage, the notebook shut down automatically I was a little bit surprised but I realized that the air could not circulate and therefore the notebook overheated
Now, Im using the unit only on the desk. This is recommended and it helps to keep the temperature on lower level
PS: My BIOS is up to date...

Problem updating BIOS- Protege A600

I am in the process of updating my BIOS settings on my laptop (which I was prompted to do by Toshiba's hardware updating service).
I followed all of the instructions provided by the program as it extracted and ran the update. However, the computer began the process of restarting, but has been "logging off" windows (Vista Business) for about an hour now. I'm not sure how to stop the process without causing serious damage to my BIOS, but this doesn't seem normal.
Please help!

Hi wilreb...
I think the user henharas make some bad experience with BIOS updates.
I have updated the BIOS many times and never had any problems...
I assume you are speaking about Tempro software... this software notifies you about new updates on the Toshiba page. It's not a recommendation for a update but just simply a alert that new updates has been released...
If your notebook is running properly then the BIOS update is not really necessary...
You should follow this advice; never change a running system ;)
Anyway, after the BIOS update should not take too long and if it has finished, you should see the new version in BIOS settings...
Check it...

Problems updating BIOS on P965-platinum

Well, using LiveUpdate to find the newest BIOS seems like the most reasonable course of action for a guy who does not posess a floppy-drive... So when I use it, I want it to work!...
Now, it finds the newest BIOS, downloads it as well as the flash tool, and then I press the button to start flashing... Then it only gives me an "error loading driver... Press any key" message... WTH??
Does anybody here have any ideas how I flash the BIOS, I'm sure as hell not using a floppy
Best Regards

yes, I never did it myself but I have read about it.
You need a tool like this here:
http://217.110.237.67/Notnagel/USB/Tool%20zum%20USB-Stick%20formatieren.exe
with it you can format your USB stick as a DOS start up disk
Then copy the BIOS file and a flash programm onto the stick, set your current BIOS to boot from USB and you're set.
I've heard people talking about problems using LiveUpdate (but then others used it with no problems).

Problem updating bios on X200

Hi, I have an X200 with Windows 7 64bit. It has an old bios on it. I need the newest version installed so I can take advantage of the battery life updates. I downloaded the manual updater and when I run it and choose Update ThinkPad BIOS it says Driver Loading Failed. The Utility cannot proceed. I tried the bootable cd option but I don't have a cd rom drive for the computer. I tried mounting the image onto a usb stick but none of the programs I tried work. There is another program included in the manual package called winphlash that looks like you can manually update it but it's kind of sketchy to do without exact instructions for it. Please help, thanks.

This does not sound good. A BIOS update is usually completed within 5 minutes.
Is this the download you used from your model's driver/software page?

Updating bios problems k7n2-L bio= 3.0

I have a k7n2-L board, bios 3.0
how do i find bios write protection? wehre is it i kant find it - im having problems updating bios.
thx
stun

With my older kt266a chipset and a 1700+ cpu, I had the regular cpu temp higher than case temp.
But then I applied a patch that enabled the use of the CPU HALT command. This effectively stopped the cpu completely when it wasn't doing anything. The temps at 100% load did NOT change, but the temps at idle were dramastically different.
Considering the effectiveness of todays heat sinks, it is not unbelievable for a cpu temp to be lower than a case temp, as long as the cpu temp is above ambient. In my case, I have 2 7200 rpm hard drives, which have 2 80mm fans blowing on them. There is also an nvidia gf4 4200 which puts off a good deal of heat. If the mobo temp sensor is located in such an area that it picks up the heat from those items, and the cpu get's airflow that has not been heated by those items, then I can see how there would be a large difference in temperature from mobo to cpu at idle.
at load, the cpu should be above mobo temps if you use a regular case and air cooling method.

Z68A-GD65 (G3) Memory problems after BIOS update

Good day, i'm russian, so sorry for my english.
Friend of mine had MSi Z68A-GD65 (G3), i5-2500K, memory pair 2*2GB with bios 22.8 (latest version with no red letters about ME8 and IvyBridge).
He decided to upgrade the processor to IvyBrydge and updated bios with new ME8. Then the computer went into a state of continue restarting every 3 seconds. After replacing the CPU to the new Ivy - computer works good, the impression is that the computer does not understand Sandy now and switched toIvy. But it has seen only one of memory pair. My friend just bought a new motherboard. Now he has no problems. I took his MB and SandyBridge CPU.
Flashing the bios to the old version by M-Flash - it does not see the BIOS file, although it is there (in the root, FAT, 2G). Flashed it under dos with AFUDE238 with a key -x, it said about mismatched ROM ID. After the old BIOS flashing (with an Ivy) computer went three-second reset mode. CPU changed to Sandy i5-2500K - now works good. By the way, now M-Flash see the firmware on a flash drive - I flashed it again from the M-Flash, just in case, reset the settings.
What is the problem: if I set the memory into the slot 3 or 4, the computer goes into a three-second reboot, it does not matter is the memory in the first two slots or no. If this memory is inserted in the first two slots - all ok. So I work now - in the first two slots with no dual-channel mode.
The feeling is that the problem appeared after first flashing to Ivy and remained after flashing back to Sandy.
Question 1: What to do to get working the memory slots?
Question 2: Is BIOS 22.8 - the latest which I will have with Sandy? (There is a problem now when the computer starts - 1 times out of 10 will not boot - reset is helping, and the BIOS at starting not very fast).
There are posts about people with the same MB and the CPU and the new BIOS (25.2) that supports Ivy. I'm confused. It means I can use the new firmware from SandyBridge. But there are many posts about problems with new firmware. Where is the true?
Just checked BIOS version - P.1 (25.1) 2012-04-16 - by the way with Ivy support. But I flashed with 22.8, I'm sure. ME version in BIOS isn't shown, but while booting - ME 7.0
What does it mean? Can it be repaired? What should I do?

Thanks to all. My system is working fine now.
What it was. I flashed BIOS with tool from this forum. Bios flashed good, but problem still was here. Then I flashed to the first bios version from support site. And again flashed ok but memory still not working in slots 3 and 4. Then I decided to flash back to last flash with Sandy support 22.8 (or 23.8). Then I flashed to the last bios at all - 25.4. Flashed it from dos - this was pretty long. It rebooted 3 times (ME updated too). I still don't know - what it was with first flashing to Ivy. Now it's ok.
So I decided the problem is bent pin. With magniglass and needle I've found some uncertain pins (these were not BENT, but slightly bent) and touched these with my needle. And that was the answer. Now all works fine. Thank you all.
On the russian msi forum no one answered and helped me at all.

600 and 600e modem problem, and BIOS update

I hope I can find the answers to my 600 and 600e problems here. I've looked over the whole community and can't find the answer to my problems.
BIOS Problem: For some reason I can't update the bios on either machine. I am upgrading from 98 to 2000. I believe I need spsdib54 as a BIOS update. I find IBM laptops rather difficult to update. I have worked on a few computers in my day, but never IBM until now, and the learning curve is hell. I have a floppy drive but can't get the laptop to allow the spsdib54 file to open. I get a remove media message and then hit any key to continue. I'm lost here.and theIBM instructions are no help
MODEM Problem. I am trying to use AOL dialup. I install 2000, and can test my modem on both machines. I install AOL with no problems. Both laptops will dial out and get the correct Phone numbers. When I let AOL use smart connect and try to proceed, I loose all modem activity, and can't get it back even with the Modem upgrade which I have done. ....help

Hi Amit,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I’m sorry to hear that your G580 Laptop is not booting to Windows after updating the BIOS, I suggest you to Access the BIOS and change the “SATA Controller mode” to resolve the issue, below are the steps to change the settings:
To enter BIOS setup utility, press F2 when the Lenovo logo appears on the screen while the computer is starting up.
Now under “Configuration” Tab click on SATA controller mode and change the option to “Compatible”.
Now press “F10” Key then YES to save the changes made in BIOS.
The computer will automatically re-start, check the issue.
Do post us back if the issue still persists.
Best Regards
Shiva Kumar

P4N Diamond SATA Problem after Bios Update HELP!

I updated the bios correctly & now my SATA harddrive won't recognize.I put the drive in another pc (with the exact same setup..a p4n diamond etc) and it works no problem.The bios settings are set exactly as they were before the flash as i wrote them down!.
I have noticed there is an extra setting added in the bios ,something in the cell menu named CPU ratio unlock.
I have also noticed that my other pc (the working one) will no longer connect to the net if my network cable is plugged in my router from the pc with the bios update.As soon as i unplug the cable it connects.
I got the latest bios for the board is there something different in the bios from previously i need to do?
Like i says the bios settings i have put exactly the same as they were before the update.My windows (on the SATA drive) booted fine before the update and now it won't.
I updated the bios correctly and cleared cmos afterwards.Everything i should have done i am guessing i done.
Can somebody please help me on this.
Thanks
Decided to reflash the bios to version 1.4
Now the harddrive is recognised but windows will not boot (blue screen before it boots with the usual to prevent damage to your computer etc etc)
I am now formatting the harddrive & reinstalling windows.It seems MSI have issues with bios updates for this board which they should maybe bring out a new bios fixing this problem as it sure is a problem.

RE flashing the bios.I did this to try and fix a problem with windows not turning off when shutting down.I pc does the other does not & both have the same board and now the same version bios & also a freshly installed windows.I noticed power options in windows are not the same.How can this be.The boards are the same.
Anyway here are the specs of pc1 & pc2:-
pc1 (the working fine pc):-
P4N diamond bios ver 1.40
P4 SKT 775 Prescott 3.6ghz
2gb kingston ddr2 (dual channel)
1x 200gb maxtor IDE hd
2x 160gb maxtor SATA hd
Ati Radeon x600 gfx
pc2
P4N diamond bios ver 1.40
P4 SKT 775 Prescott 3.4ghz
512mb crucial ddr2 (1 stick single channel)
1x SATA2 16mb cache hd
nvidia quadro gfx
As you can see,not much difference between the 2.

Problem Updating my VGA BIOS

Hello.
I am having a problem updating my VGA Bios. I can download it, buyt when I go to install it, I get an error and it tries to send to Microsoft. It has something to do with the VGA Bios Flasher.
I have a GeForce FX 5900 TD-128. It shows the bios there, but has a problem installing the new version of the bios. I am not sure why.
Is there any reason why this is happening?

I am surprised there is even a BIOS revision for that card.
Generally there is no reason to update the VGA BIOS unless you have an exact reason to do so. If there is no documentation to support this from the vendor then I woould not touch it with a ten foot pole.
I have explained this in several posts already, if you'd like to search for it.
Perhaps it's a good reason that it won't work!
don't be the guinea pig

X79a-GD65 (8D) (MS-7760) - Problems after BIOS update

Long story short, I updated my BIOS the above stated board and after updating found that the board would no longer boot, I followed the instructions provided on this site to recover the failed BIOS (switched to 2nd bios, booted, entered bios update, switched over to failed bios, updated bios with good bios file). This recovered the board/bios however the machine now prompts each time stating "Something has changed, press F1 to enter setup or F2 to accept defaults". If I enter the bios I find everything is configured as I set it, even try changing something simple and saving but still getting the prompt each time. I can switch over to the other BIOS but obviously want to address this issue.
What do I need to do to get the BIOS fully restored/not prompting me every time?
Thanks in advance,
-Simon
