  • BIOS settings: please help

    Hello,
    You can see my specifications below.
    I have been busy for weeks with my graphic card to reduce it's crashing.
    Now I hope that someone, seeing my specifications below, might be so kind to help me
    with the system BIOS settings, who are still at "default values".
    I do video editing, burning etc. but no gaming.
    I don't intend extreme over clocking.
    I have removed the NB-fan as reducing noise is important to me.
    Could someone give me some system BIOS settings and values,
    for a good performance.

    Seems we do something similar. See my signature for details. For me, it
    worked out better to use 5:4 rate and to increase overclock the CPU only,
    because MPEG2 encoding seems still to be CPU bound and mem performance
    is not that big issue. The increase of speed is aproximately the increase of
    CPU performance.
    To enable 5:3, you have to set DRAM timing from AUTO to 333. Still a clock
    rate like 227 in my case is x15 fot the CPU but x4 /5 for the RAM, giving you
    some potential with DDR400 RAM. In my case, the Corsair allow me 2-3-2-5-8
    at the rate.
    For me, setting ram timings to SPD allows the MB to do a lot of nasty things.
    MSI is somewhat nasty anyhow. 200 MHz FSB is 203. To get something like 200,
    you have to set it to 201. I prefer manual settings. PAT is enabled and disabled
    just like the board wants. A lot of different behaviours for different settings
    and BIOS versions. I use 1.8. Here, PAT is alwasy disabled in 1:1 when you
    set RAM timings manually. When setting it SPD, it will be on in Fast and up.
    For me, PAT is switched on in 5:4 even in manual. Some say, in 5:4, PAT
    can never be enabled. But for encoding, I saw no difference. For cutting, also.
    Disable spectrum spread. Let PIC/AGP work at 33/66 fixed. To ackomplish this,
    you might have to enable SATA, even if you don't use it. It's a bug. If you
    anable Parallel only, you can set "keep yes fpr Serial" in IDE settings. Look for
    other hints in this forum. (Sorry, just saw in your sig that you have SATA).
    For the fan: I asked the question and a lot of people said it's no recomended to
    simply switch off the fan. So I decided to by a cheap manual fan control. I use
    it to reduce NB fan to minimum, so I nearly not hear it. I also have a case fan
    that is alread reduced and reduced further by this control. The Zalman Cu
    fan is also quite silent, I also reduce it. For cutting, no problems. CPU in idle
    is about 35-38c (case 33c), will not go beyond 40-42c when cutting. When I do
    encoding, it will raise. In this case I have to give aprox. half throttle (I normaly
    leave the room for some 12-15 hours of encoding 90 minutes CBR 6500 and
    switch them to full). Otherwise temps will raise to 60c (and crash). With a bit of
    fan, they will stay at around 50c, which is ok.
    If you have further questions, you can also email me.

  • K7n2 delta bios settings please

    i have a 2500+ that i'm trying to oc to 200fsb speed with 1:1 ratio. Problem is that my ram doesnt want to run @200mhz despite being pc-3200. I can however run cpu@200 and ram @166 with complete stablility, so i know it isnt the chip. I've nailed it down to either my ram is lousy (some generic type, nanya chips i believe), or my bios settings are wrong. All the memory settings are default. But i dont know if i need to do something with mem. timings or the spread spectrum options. Any suggestions, other than getting new ram, which i am doing regardless.

    Hi MaTT,
         Yes it could be your generic RAM :( Are you bumping up the fsb in small increments to get to 200? I'm sure you can do better than 166.  Here is a guide for your bios settings that you may find useful.

    How can I enter BIOS menu before windows started?
    When notebook starts, I push F2 so it give me chose device which need to read.
    In my other pc I push DEL and BIOS is there.
    I have Satellite U200. I se software called <TOSHIBA HWSetup> and there write BIOS version 1.10.04/03/2004
    There must be key to allow enter BIOS settings.
    In user??s manuals I didn??t find information about entering BIOS settings.

    Hi
    To enter BIOS settings please press ESC button at start up. After that press F1.
    By the way: when you start notebook for a short moment you can see the message how to enter BIOS settings. It is displayer at the bottom left side at start up.
    Del button will be used on desktops, not on laptops.

  • K7N2 Delta2 Platinum Bios settings help please

    Please forgive me if I seem a bit stupid, but we all have to start somewhere.
    As you can see from my signature although an old socket A set-up this should still perform pretty well when my son plays his games (Age of Empires 3) but the dam thing keeps crashing (back to the desktop) and performace is not what it should be.
    I built the pc my self so I am ok to fiddle about with things but I am not as knowalgable as most people on this forum, So I would like someone to help me with some BIOS settings on this board, can anyone recommend some settings that would work well.   

    Having now read the excellent post by klondike on this board I want to update my bios to the 11.50 (B50) version.
    I know about all the dangers of updating your bios but as I am having prob’s with my board and it seems like the B5 bios is better that the B4, I want to update it but I have tried now for 2 hours to update it and I am obviously doing something very wrong and it is doing my head in!
    I have read the MSI guide to bios updating and others on this forum but I can’t get anything to even start to work.
    I have downloaded and un-zipped the B50 bios update for my board. I have put the unzipped files in a folder in the C: drive I have named “test” I have made a dos floppy and set my bios to 1st boot floppy but when I boot to it at the A prompt you type C: (and enter) and it says bad file or command (I can’t remember which) so I then tried burning the bios files to a cd and once again after booting to the dos there is no option to get it to boot or find the cd drive you just get the A: prompt
    I have also tried updating it though live update but live update says the latest version is 11.4 (B4) and that is what my board already has so I can’t update it from there as MSI have not updated their live update page.
    I am almost at my wits end and feel like setting light to the dam thing, all I want to do is up date my bios its not that hard I have done it before on other pc’s but I can’t remember how I did it! (thats my age)
    Please can someone spare me a few minutes to talk me though this.

  • Ideal BIOS Settings for online gaming

    this is my 1st computer that i built. i have a lot of experience in wiring high-end electronics, so wiring this little rig with barely any visible wires/cables was a breeze. I bought the processor/mobo with the intention of only doing minor O/C as i dont really know all that much on the hardware side of improving performance. with that said, i've searched for timings and settings for my specific combination, and i cant find any. again, i dont really want to push the config past a safe level, as i will be selling this machine when the 64's come down in price. can someone help me set the proper frequencies/timings? i have a lot to learn, and even in the normal bios settings i don't know if certain things should be enabled or disabled for my main purpose, which is to simply play 3D online games very  fast. i will be changing out the GeforceFX5200 PCI for a 5600 AGP in a week or so. I'm noticing that my old Comcrap PIII 1.0Ghz w/512SDRAM with this video card gets just as good a ping ingame as this rig does. the machine starts quickly, runs offline programs quickly, but online it isnt as fast as i'd hoped. from what i've read in the other forums, there are many settings in the bios that are enabled by default that don't need to be. can someone help me decipher which settings are useful and which are not. i loosely understand some of the settings but if someone could help with the questions below and/or do a walkthru for bios geared toward gaming i'd really appreciate it. The machine runs very cool (CPU 104*F/SYS 93*F) but i dont know what else needs adjustment. I simply want to make this machine go as fast and as hard as it can with the right config. i don't want to unlock the processor yet or do anything else major at this point.
    1: Best yet safe Voltage for my processor and RAM
    2: FSB clock; 133 or 166? had problems @ 200
    3: S.M.A.R.T. on or off?
    4: Best IRQ/PCI slot for video card
    5: "GoodMEM" utility: how much should i safely allot?
    6: Video BIOS Cacheable?
    7: Multiplier setting for K7N2DeltaL & XP2600+
    8: VGA Aperture (my card is 128MB but PCI. upgrading soon)
    i'll be learning more as i go along, so i dont really need a full explanation of what's what, lol THIS TIME. all i need is a rundown where someone tells me what to leave alone, and what to change for a very fast yet safe gaming rig

    OK I'm officially confused.
    I bought the retail boxed AthlonXP2600+, which clearly states on the packaging "With 333 MHZ Frontside Bus". i bought the board over others, one reason being it supported 400MHz FSB. I go into "Advanced Chipset Features" and when i set the "System Performance" to "Manual", i can then go into the "CPU FSB Clock" settings, but the max it will allow me to go to is 233MHz (which won't boot and i have to flip the jumpers. when i had set it to 200MHz before, it failed to boot as well... PLEASE can someone look over these settings and tell me the OPTIMAL settings for taking this combo as fast as it can go w/o overclocking? What am i doing wrong? what multiplier do i need to be at. I'm under the impression that the combo works best when the clock speed of the board is at the same speed as the processor. here are the  BIOS settings with which i need advice:
    ADV. BIOS

    I do currently have a PCI GeForceFX5200 8o, but im getting an AGP FX5600 this week. i know my card has nothing to do with AGP, but i've left most of the AGP settings alone since i'll be using it later. is this creating a bottleneck or tying up system memory to have it this way for now?

  • How to enter BIOS settings on Equium L10?

    Please can someone tell me what button i press too get into the bios setup at the start when i switch my pc on cos i have tried every thing, but nothing works.

    Hello
    Every time when you switch the notebook ON you can see at the bottom left hand site the short instruction how to enter BIOS settings. In your case you must use F2 button. Please keep it down immediately after switching the notebook ON.
    Generally the Toshiba notebooks are delivered with two different BIOS versions (BIOS producer):
    - TOSHIBA BIOS: enter using ESC and F1 button
    - Phoenix BIOS: enter using F2 button.
    According the specification your unit has Phoenix BIOS.

    How do you install windows 7 in UEFI mode and what bios settings do I need to install it on a D30 workstation.

    Not a ThinkStation guy, but FWIW, that can happen when installing Win 7 in UEFI mode when CSM support is not enabled in BIOS.
    Is CSM support - either explicit or by selecting "other OS" and turning UEFI back on as suggested above - an option?

  • Request for proper BIOS settings for MSI "KM4M-V" VIA KM400

    Hello,
    I tried to search on this problem but with no success. I have a computer that I had to reset the bios and I'm trying to get the clock speed adjusted to the processor chip. Here is my setup:
    MB = MSI "KM4M-V" VIA KM400 (MS-7061)
    CPU = AMD ATHLON XP 3000 "Barton" 333 FSB  OPN - AXDA3000DKV4D
    Here is my problem, when I boot up the cpu shows the clock speed of 1.733 GHZ with default BIOS settings.(it shows this speed in windows when booted up also) When I try to go into the BIOS and change any of the speed settings under Advance Chipset Features, the cpu will reboot and loose video until I reset the BIOS with the jumper.
    I was wondering if someone had a setup like this and could give me info on what settings are the RIGHT ones to get the AMD XP 3000 up to speed?   ;-)
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

  • Changed BIOS settings, Monitor won't turn on (Help with resetting CMOS)

    Hello,
    I have an HP Envoy 700 PC Series. Running Windows 8.
    Everything was working fine, until I changed/disabled some settings in the BIOS, an dnow the PC turns on without any display.
    I need to reset my Bios settings.
    I tried removing the CMOS battery for an hour, still the monitor doesn't turn on.
    I tried playing with the jumpers (assuming I'm doing it right)..  Any pointers?!
    Pc turns on normally without a display.  This all happened when I changed my BIOS settings.
    Any help would be great.
    Thank you

    The fact that you removed the CMOS battery usually resets the BIOS so this may not be the problem, however, the computer must be left on for up to 24 hours to permit the battery to charge itself.
    You may opt to try another monitor.

  • X1 Carbon - Can't unlock Bios settings

    Hi!
    For testing purposes I've set an supervisor password and set a lock on the Bios settings. Since then I can't access the settings because I'm never asked for the supervisor password. Biometric features are enabled. So when I restart and press F1 I get into the bios without beeing asked for a password but I can't change values there.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi WhiteThinPad21, welcome to the forums,
    ensure the system is totally shut down, no restart, hybrid sleep or hibernation state and then press and hold F1 when you start the system. Enter the supervisor when required and after that you should be able to change the settings.

  • Z97i Gaming bios settings clearing after power is disconnected

    I've just received a Z97i Gaming mobo with a Devil's Canyon i5 4690k. Whenever I remove the powercord from the PC the bios settings clear, including the date and time etc. I've tried updating to bios version 1.1 but the problem persists.
    I've read this problem is typically due to a dead battery, but this is a new board, so I thought it was unlikely to be the issue. If it is definitely the battery, please could someone help me locate it on the board as the manual/ google search hasn't yielded anything useful.
    Thanks in advance.

  • In Depth guide to BIOS settings. and Mouse/UEFI woes

    I'm wondering if there is any on-line in-depth guides to the BIOS settings. I have a P67A-GD65 B3 and the documentation is pitiful. I am not interested at this point in overclocking, but I do want to optimize BIOS to get maximum performance and boot times. I want to disable any unnecessary items (such as 1394 support and Marvel SATA controller) and disable all that green energy stuff.
    Also, I just flashed my UEFI from a  V1B to V1E, and now, my mouse in BIOS is worthless. It jumps all over the screen and all settings need to be made with the keyboard. My mouse is just a Microsoft Natural wireless laser. It worked fine in V1B.

    A search of the net may point to some. Flash back to v1.B unless v1.E addressed a specific reason for flashing in the first place. Recommend to contact MSI Tech Support & advise them of the issue experienced with v1.E; http://support.msi.com/
