Problem with Bios 2.0 MSI A75MA-G55

hello, I need help ....
A few days ago I did the update the BIOS of my MSI-A75MA-G55, which is 2.0 and he has presented problems. It has a processor (AMD A-8 3870K) before trouble could overclock to 4.0GHz, but now it goes from 3.6ghz: (... By increasing to over 3.6ghz pc does not start and I have to clear the CMOS for reuse ... the second problem is with the GPU hd6550D now I can not run any game at medium quality such as "far Cry 3" or "Bioshock Infinite" and before if I could .... the previous BIOS version was the V13 or 1.3 which everything worked.
The characteristics of my pc are:
- MSI Motherboard-A75MA-G55 (MS-7696)
- 3870K Processor A-8
- 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1333 (667MHz)
- Hard Drive WD 750GB 64MB Cache
- Thermaltake CLP0575 Frio OCK
Thank you in advance ...!
Sorry do not know much English ...!
Note: I did a BIOS flash, with the tool provided here, to downgrade the BIOS version and I could not because at the end and restart the PC had always the same version.

As the problem is only bios related from your report tell MSI about it so the issue can be fixed: >>How to contact MSI.<<

MSI A75MA-G55 won't boot sometimes

Hello,
My system specs:
MSI A75MA-G55
AMD Llano A8-3850
Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C83
Corsair Builder CX430 V2
My system sometimes boots and sometimes not.
Memtest has run a whole night without errors.
Al settings on manual won't help.
Having only one RAM module on the board didn't help.
It looks like the mobo and the RAM aren't broken.
Is it not compatible or what?
I can't update the BIOS because it hangs on making a backup.

Weird problem with power shut down msi nforce 4 platinum

recently i have flashed the latest bios 1.9 of msi nforce 4 u platinum, everything work fine untill yesterday.some stanges happened......
my power doesnt have a on and off button on it ,every time i turn off the pc , i have to turn off the power button of a socket near by the pc.everytime it works fine, but yesterday when i turn on the power on button of that socket , the pc automatic start, i didint turn on the power button of pc, what a weird problem.. also when i go into os , the system time also changed, although i can turn them back to correct one in bios and os, but when i turn the pc off , it changed again... could any one help me out , what is teh real problem of my pc. some virus ?thanks a lot.
weird problem with power shut down msi nforce 4 platinum

it seems the first question has been solved. cos today when i turn on pc, the oc set up is gone ,in bios, it back to the original set up.i cant save my oc setup, so it definitely a battery problem!!!!!!!!!!!
i take the old battery t o a saler , there they massure it with voltmeter, it shows only 0.97v, but in bios 1.6 it shows 1.82v, so waht is the real meaning of that reading num in bios for battery?it cant be the real voltage of the battery. i buy a new one ,this one is maxcell 2032 hitachi, the old one is shi t panansonic 2032 .the new one shows 3.17v with voltmeter, then i come back , installed the new battery , in bios this time it shows 2.3v in bios 1.6. so the reading num in bios for battery is definitely is not a real reading for your battery.
i will keep my pc in 24/7 using , and i will look if the battery is sable or not , cos untilll now no one come out for a real explain for this stupid battery problem of msi nofroce 4 platinum.i dont want change battery every 2 or 3month, what a real sick of this!!!!

Have problems with my newly bought MSI GX740

Hey, I already have problems with my newly bought MSI GX740 from JME Data.
The computer is behaving very strangely. To begin with, and so it is extremely tough to boot windows and launch programs, many programs can not even begin to eg Internet Explorer or Norton Antivirus.
When you then turn off your computer and start it again, it starts, as usual, extremely tough right from the bios to load Windows, but then when it should go from the''windowscharge'' to the desktop screen is just black. The cursor is there, but the screen is just completely black.
I have tried to make a''recovery''from windows MSI's built-in recovery function in the BIOS. What it means is that it then reformat the c drive and then reinstall Windows and all programs that were on the computer from the very beginning. This can be very slow to install and when Windows is installed so the problem remains, however, that everything goes extremely slow, and some programs will not even start.
I have also tried to put energy saving options for maximum performance, but it did nothing.
What do you think? Is this something that can fix or is it only to send the rebound?

Well its kinda strange, but i managed to fix it.
I just started in the ''windows secure mode'' or whatever u call it in english, and then when windows started and windows popped up, wich said ''A system change has occured'' or something like that, i pressed accept and after that everything worked perfect

Got a problem with BIOS in my board MSI 785GM-E51

i have a MSI 785GM-E51 board,i got a problem with the graphic card bus interface,it still run in 8x not in 16x
i try to disable a onboard graphic on BIOS,but i not find it.
and last i try to update BIOS to v2.4 n' not work too.
this a example;

Quote from: Bas on 08-March-10, 21:21:36
You do not need to disable the onboard.
As for the plug-in card, there is nothing in the BIOS to make it work 8x or 16x.
Make sure your card is seated correctly, else it will work but at lower number of lanes.
What program is telling you it's 8x?
GPU-Z

Kt4v possible problem with bios 1.8 and hd

Any Idea anyone with this one.
system running well till the other day when hd went very slow even after defrag, install bios 1.8 and reset the bios and adjusting it for my setup. Come to check my harddrive with maxtor powerdiag 3.04 and could not find the drive or any other drives connected. In the bios setup the drive is present. I removed all drives, cdroms, etc except the maxtor main hd and tried again with the same result. After placing in an ata100 controller card in to a spare pci slot and plugged the hd on to it, that the software sees the drive. The test finished and show the HD to be fine.
The question is do I have a problem with the onboard contoller or with the new bios or both.
When I first got this MB I did the same test with the original bios and the hd connected to the MB controller and the software had no problem seeing that and other drive connected.

I'll stick with the V1.10, but I'd fell better if MSI showed me they actively update their systems by releasing updated BIOS files from time to time.
I can't sell a 15000$ storage system that doesn't recognise the CPUs installed. The customer would laugh and tell me to come back with a supported system.
Isn't this a VERY valid reason for wanting updates? Even if it only is an updated CPU list?
The only reason I tried this MSI board is that it was the only one available with my retailer at the time I bought it with 3 PCI-X 100Mhz slots. Maybe I should go with a Tyan Thunder next time. Tyan at least show some activity.

in the dos install of windows xp, (when it moves files to the hdd) it stopped and said that there was a problem with a file that were to be copied, i pressed enter to try again and the install moves on, this accurs 4-5 times and then it gives me a BIG "IRQL less or not equal".. Blue screen of death.. (it complains on different files each time i try to install xp, tried 15-20 times)
I have tried to change memory to another Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512 512Mb DDR PC3200 400MHz 184pin Unbuffered CL3 with no luck,
changed hdd, change gfx-card. change psu, removed all no-need pci-cards..
but still same error, i aint no expert so i might have missed something in bios or something :(
please help me if you can..

Flashing bios with memory errors is a veeeeery bad idea .
Almost guarantied to ruin your bios chip with bad data block.
That this even is suggested with mem errors , well .
You need to resolve the mem errors before doing anything else.
The windows xp install routine is a very heavy user of cpu and memory
and will fail if you have mem errors like you have.
Some things to try is entering bios and change auto settings on cpu voltage
giving it 0.5v more than default .
Set the memorys voltage to vendors max approved voltage
which for yours is 2.6v +/- 0.1v . So it's safe to set at 2.7v .
Set timings to cas 3 ,ras 3 ,trp 3 , tras 8 , CMD 2T.
Pushing it firmly down in the dimm socket , sometimes it's not all the way down there even if the plastic lockers snap in.
Disconnect all devices not needed for a windows install ,things can be added later.
Have only the hd that os is to be installed to , one cdrom , floppy , memory and
gfx card .
Disconnect USB case front connector (cause corruption and strange faults if
USBOC pin is connected)

870A-G54 problems with bios, ram and CnQ

Hello i have some weird problems with my mobo. CnQ dont work i dont know why , in bios all options are turned not automaticly but forced to be "enable" ,and still my procesor multipler and voltages don't change , at the beginning after installing win7 64x it worked but now no :/.
2.next i have problems with memory i have corsair xms3 2x2gb [email protected] at old bios(AH0) my memory just did'nt want to work on 1.6k in dual channel and 1,2 slot i tried even to use default voltages tested by corsair (1.65V i had to use 1.66) result it dont work. after putting them into 3,4 slot it works even on 1.5V not 1.65V then i used to have them on 3,4 slot do u think that 1,2 slot is damaged ?.
3.Problems by bios. I updated my bios to the lastest version (from software downloaded from msi.com probably it had name "live update 5") , of course updated by usb stick .Then after update i see that my ram looks like reserved bios showing me that i have 2gigs of ram -.- (but only on 3,4 slot x.x) after change slots (1,2) it working and see my full ram (4gigs). Is that HD0 beta version of bios ? it looks like that .I don't see my logo screen it looks like that option was cut off from the bios , i don't see any "corporation" logo while booting the system.
I though that msi making solid motherboards as u can see i have many problems with this mobo.

I found Alex on Corsairs forum. He was running BIOS 1.3 down from 1.9
He Was comiserating with me. I asked if he had tried 2.0. He came back after upgrading to 2.0 using settings below.
He said he was rocking and running really fast and stable for the first time. He was really really happy!!!

Kt3ultra (OEM??) Problems with bios!!

Hi,
I found that probably I have a kt3ultra OEM, because the label on the bios says "phoenix" (award ), but during the post the bios loaded is the ami 5.7 (the last official).
Does someone have a release of the phoenix/award bios? I'ld like to try to update the bios to this release, hoping that it is possible.
I read on a topic that a guy bought an OEM kt3ultra with bios 5.0, but I was not able to find it again.
I have also another post, where I describe what my problem is
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=44407&sid=
I hope that the link works well, even if I'm not sure.
Thanks to everyonw who will help me: I'm gonna buying a cheap ECS, if I can't make my great kt3ultra work properly...
bye

Use the forum's search engine, bottom of the page to the left. I found several interesting by looking at "kt3ultra BIOS".

Problems with Promise SX6000 and MSI K7D Master

There is a problem with Promise SuperTrack SX6000 controller and motheboard MSI K7D Master.
We use most fresh bios for both products - version 1.5 for motheboard and build 77 for controller.
With previous controller's bios version it can't be initialize and now after initialisation the bios of controller does not show up.
It seems to be like one of problems wich are described in controller's manual, but this problem can't be decided by user's hand, but only new version of bios, we think.
What you can help ?

No ways ?

Problem with Serial Number from MSi ATi HD4870 :/

Hi all,
I have problem with my HD4870. I lost the serial number (the small paper on back of card) from card. Have I any chance to get it back? I can take a photo and post it here some S/N and P/N from card, if it helpfull... I lose my warranty, if I can't get it back
So, any choice to get it?
Thanks for answers,
Mirek.

Thanks for answers in first,
I have problem with card - I had it two days in Crossfire with another HD4870 but accidentally when I played Metro 2033 I got some stripes on monitor (purple, blue) and then PC stop working. I had to restart PC and when the system booted to Windows, until 10 second I got the same stripes on monitor. Then my PC didn't boot.
On my card I have 4 diodes - when I turned on pc, the diodes blinks but now blinks only TREE of FOUR diods.. So I took the card to shop when I bought it, but the shop-assistant told me, that I need this little paper on Card.. :/
I'm from Czech Republic, so I have a little problem with directly contact to HQ of MSI
So I have to go again to the shop and tell them, that Serial Numbers what they need are in card?

Problem with far cry 4 msi afterburner and sli

just wondering if anyone else could verify this for me when ever I try and launch far cry 4 with msi afterburner running and sli the game will crash everytime. disable sli leave msi afterburner running game will launch. enable sli turn off afterburner game will launch.
just trying to figure out if its my system or if this is a common problem thanks in advance

Game crashing could be caused by few problems, could be software or hardware. Assuming we're looking into hardware, I suggest you run MEMTEST for your RAM and see if your RAM is defected. Other than that, I can't think of any reason than power supply. But you stated you have a 480 W which should be sufficient. It could be a known problem with ATI on Far Cry? But if this's the case, ATI should be able to deal with it via Driver Update.
If it's software, this is broad. Does Far Cry have any patch?

Severe Problems with BIOS v1.9 for K8N Neo Platinum (7030)

I updated to the new BIOS and nothing but crashes, so I tried to go back to 1.7, because everything was working fine with 1.7 and now, the BIOS is asking for a password, and I never setup a password in the BIOS. What the heck, now I have a $1000 (US) paper weight, thanks alot for the buggy BIOS update, now you can send me a new motherboard!!!
**Edit** Well I found a work around, went back to BIOS 1.5 for now until I can get 1.7 to work again, 1.8 and 1.9 are screwed up beyond belief, you can't set any overclocking features, RAM timings are messed, there is no choice for 1T/2T, currently I'm running at SPD on the DRAM and stock on all the CPU functions. I would really like if someone could test these BIOS versions before putting them up so stupid people like me update them. Also, leaving more choices than one BIOS update in MSI LiveUpdate would be nice, because flashing via the floppy drive is a pain in the butt, lucky I have an extra computer to use.**End Edit**

Do a floppy drive flash with the correct switches. Go back to the last bios that worked properly or try Pinochio's bios which a lot of people like. Liveupdate will mess up your bios. So can winflash if you do not use it correctly.

After you have read about it, do this using the correct flash utilty file name and the correct bios file name
"DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
(Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
After flash is complete :
TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
Turn on again , press the power button .
Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
Good luck.

Problems with PAL-M using MSI G4Mx420

I´ve just upgraded from my (good) old Voodoo3 to a brand-new Geforce4 Mx420 DDR, and tried to use the "revolutionary" nView in my PAL-M tv set (i live in Brazil=5 times soccer world champ . The image was there... in B&W! The nView proprieties include "PAL-M" and "Brazil" under the video standard options, but it seems that Windows doesn´t understand that (since i can get colors under the DOS prompt - full screen).
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE? ;( so i´ve upgraded to recent technology hoping to deliver AT LEAST pal-m color compatibility and i can´t even see if Spiderman´s clothes are red? Someone please help... is it Detonator XP that sucks... or what?
Athlon XP 1600+ w/ ECS K7S5A, 128 DDR, G4 420Mx. DetonatorXP 29.40 on Win ME

Well, after a long time trying... trying... and, maybe... trying, with detonator 28.32, or with XX.XX, my brand-new GF4MX refuses to show colors on my PAL-M TV.
OOOOOOOhhh, i´ve almost forgot, i´ve got colors in DOS mode!!! (WOW, i can edit text in ms-"edit" with COLOR - blue...)
I think this is absourd. It looks like the modern technologies are SO modern that they don´t do its job plain and simple anymore. Tell me what do i do with Nview, NDesktops, N*This and N*That if my screen is B&W just like back in the fifties? It is because of things like that i´ve always worshiped the Voodoo series. I´ve NEVER EVER had any problem with my V3, so why NVIDIA, that claimed to be the 21st century graphics company makes such clowny products that can´t even show colors? The worst side is that they made dishonest marketing, the product box garanted that PAL-M IS supported.
Without anything more to declare, my solution was to pay a few $15 for a NTSC to PAL-M converter, and promess to myself NEVER EVER buy NVIDIA gear anymore... not for the extra-cost of my new transcoder, but for the false claims of their product. LONG LIFE ATI!!!
