Screwed bios update for K8N Neo2 board

Hello,
I had a perfectly working system for the last couple of months (see below). Last night I updated my bios from version 1.41(mod bios) to 1.52. I downloaded the 1.52 bios from here: http://www.lejabeach.com/MSIK8N/k8nneo2.html
Unfortunately, when I try to boot the machine, I get a quick glimse silver Plantinum banner srceen before the machine shuts down. I have pulled the plug from the rear of the case and then reinserted it about 20 seconds later and then rebooted the machine while holding down the 'Insert' key. Same result....The machine momentarily shows the banner screen and then shuts down.
Any suggestions will be apprecaited.
Thanks

this bios is a disaster many are reporting serious problems...do you have any other ram to try ....
Beta BIOS's should be used by those with BIOS saviors only unless lots have success with one.
Obviously not the case with this BIOS.
I have seen a work round that would be worth a try if you had any ram you could try.
1) Hello, I had exactly the same problem with my MSI K8N Neo 2 i flashed to the 1.52 beta bios and had the 3 second problelm, pulling my hair out i tried new PSU, blah blah, the thing that fixed it was removing my Crucial Ballistix PC4000 Ram and sticking some el cheapo PC3200 ram in the, system booted perfectly >?
2) My BIOS just expired whilst updating to 1.52, I will give your method a try to see if I can get it to boot and roll back the update.
YAAAAAY!! Removing my Corsair XLPT and using an old Twinmos 3200 stick has got my machine up and running again so a BIG cheers bud!
Seems the 1.52 likes cheap ram. Go figure

My issues are:
Improve compatilbility problem with some USB 2.0 devices
BIOS reported incorrect CPU temperature.
If you have the d-bracket installed, it may help to completely disconnect it. Sometimes it will cause inaccurate temp readings. You can always plug it back in if you need it for troubleshooting.
I unhooked mine & my reported CPU temps dropped by 8C...

No BIOS update of K8N Neo3?

K8n neo3 has been sold for a long time,
but I still can't find any bios update.
I use 754 sempron 2800+ and can't adjust CPU VID.
And every time I write an email to ask if there's a bios update, I got nothing but some links of FAQ.
What should I do to tell MSI I really want a bios update for NEO3?

Send an E-mail to the costomer support of MSI ,explaining your problem.If you're lucky they will give you help and even a costom(or beta ) Bios.

Bios updates for 845 Ultra?

Is anyone aware of any pending bios updates for this motherboard or has it been put out to pasture ? I'd still like to see a fix for the warm restart problem when overclocking in addition to the 1.65 core voltage limitation. Before anyone says that those won't be fixed - I can wish, can't I?

I have the 845 Ultra-ARU and I am running my 1.8A at 2.52 GHz with a voltage of 1.71 actual applied volts. This system is rock stable with a fsb of 140. I have done the VID-pin mod, however. I too would also like to see a BIOS update for a couple of reasons.
1) According to the temperatures being reported by PC Alert III, my BIOS, and MBM5, my CPU idles at 50 C and goes up to 67-68 C under a full Prime95 load. The reason why I think this is faulty is because I have run my computer with the side panel off, and there is no difference in the CPU or system temperature. Also, when running the Prime95 test, I've put my hand right on the heatsink and it is BARELY warm. The heatsink is making solid contact with the CPU, so if the CPU was actually at 68 degrees C, the heatsink too would be incredibly warm. My own hand tells me that it cannot be 152 degrees Fahrenheit.
2) THE MEMORY RATIOS ARE GARBAGE!!!!! I've got a 2.52 GHz CPU that is suffering a bottleneck from the measly 2.0 GB/s that my RAM is able to feed it. Every other motherboard I've ever seen gives you the options of a couple different memory ratios. I would at least like the option to run my memory at a different speed than my fsb. Perhaps a 3:4 ratio could be done? Just something so that I can try and get a little more bandwidth out of my RAM. I know that the board is only designed to support PC1600 and PC2100 DDR RAM, but how could it hurt to give the option to support PC2400 or PC2700, maybe even PC3200 DDR RAM? Plenty of other 845 chipset based boards can do that. (Not officially, but through a variety of memory ratios.) I'm just tired of not being able to do anything with my memory.

Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A100-200 (PSAA8E)

Hello,
Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
The BIOS on the download page is November last year, is there anything newer or does anyone know of an update that is compatible?
Thanks,
Ian

Yep, newest updates and drivers for your notebook you will find on the Toshiba download pages, as Jimi already mentioned.
Just as a little hint from my side is, that if there is nothing wrong with your notebook, just leave it as it is.
As there is the saying, never touch a running system.
So keep that in mind. ;)

Where can I find a BIOS update for Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)

Hello,
Where can I find a BIOS update for this model?
My bios is 23/10/07 Windows Vista 32 Bit 1.80-WIN

Hi
Did you check the Toshiba European driver page?
There you could find all drivers and BIOS for the Satellite A200-14D (PSAEC)
But I checked the page and the BIOS 1.8 for Win Vista 32bit is still the newest one.
Seems you are already up to date buddy ;)

Bug in latest 2 bios updates for FM2-A55M-E33

Hey guys,
Today I tried to update my bios of my FM2-A55M-E33 to the latest version(7721vA4.zip). Once everything completed succesfully, the bios wouldn't boot anymore.
I plugged out my 3TB hdd and it worked fine. I installed an earlier version of the bios(7721vA0.zip) and this did work with my 3TB hdd.
So in short:
The latest bios updates for FM2-A55M-E33 will freeze(black screen) at bios start when a 2TB+ hdd drive is plugged in.
Namely:
FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7) V10.3 BIOS Release
FM2-A55M-E33 (MS-7) V10.4 BIOS Release
I hope you can fix this asap, especially since these are the latest updates.
Regards,
Henkie de Grote

True, but I couldn't find an email address, couldnt see how to contact them through a form or something, and don't really want to call them if otherwise possible.
Thx for the info anyways

Need help finding a BIOS flash tool and BIOS updates for HP Compaq nc8230 running Windows 7

I put together this laptop. It didnt come with a hardrive, and basically I installed everything from the ground up.
It is an HP Compaq nc8230, IDE Hard drive, Windows 7 32 bit. The BIOS on it is the original one. I've searched far and wide, but to no avail, it seems there's zero support for this model anymore.
Basically it was never intended to go beyond Vista, back in 2004 when this model was introduced.
The reason I am searching for some kind of BIOS update, whether it is BIOS or SMBios is to get the ACPI driver to recognize the primary laptop battery. This is crucial: it only sees both as the travel battery. Other than that, all else is fine.

Hi:
Here is the latest BIOS update for your notebook.
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
You cannot use the windows based flash because you installed windows 7, so I provided the link to the DOS based flash.
You need to use a USB floppy drive for this update.
Oh, and the card reader won't work unless you install this updated driver which is not on your PC's support and driver page.

Also, here is the link to your PC's support and driver page...

BIOS update for P6000

Is there a BIOS updated for the Pavilion 6000 series ?
And if so how do I tell which model I have? (6071 through 6085 and does it matter...)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello ShawnyD,
There is no BIOS update for the Pavilion P6000 series from what I can tell. You can always find driver updates that are available directly from HP by visiting this link.
http://goo.gl/7HKZw
With that being said, there doesn't appear to be much of a difference this time for which model you have as they all have the same drivers.
Sometimes it may matter as there is always some subtle differences between the versions (there has to be a reason to make a new version doesn't there!).
On your case you should have a label and that label should include information such as your model number. On some machines it's on the side others it's on the back or even some place it on the top.
See this link for help in finding the label and then identifying the model number.
