Updating bios failed p67a-gd55

hello there, I tried to flash my bios on my p67a-gd55 (B2) from bios version 1.19 to version 4.3
i downloaded 4.3 from the msi website, put the exe on my fat32 memory stick and ran it. then my pc rebooted, and now when it boots, it gets to the msi logo for the bios then it reboots again and just keeps happening. i cant enter the bios either. and if i take out the memory stick it says please insert memory stick and reboot.
i have also tried putting my old bios files on my memory stick and then it says bios updating, me files missing.
i have tried everything i know, cleared cmos, taken out bios battery for a few hours, taken all my hardware out that i don't need. but i cant fix it
i don't know what to do if anyone can help would be good
thanks

Hold the phone! I thought he gave the forum flash method using the special archive with the flash tool. Yes, the forum flasher is the safe way to do it, but the file he gives is not for the forum flash method.
This will not works, because he[topic starter] already started BIOS update using MSI's All in one archive file
So he stuck to endless MSI update process, MSI .exe updater is not good designed,
because it starts flashing and if there is a problem writing to ME region it will stuck with no chance to flash back, leave the board in half flashed bricked state.
If we assumed that he didn't started this update via MSI .exe updater,
and trying to flash via MSIHQ Tool instead, this will not works either, because B2 boards can't be flashed to ME9,
and it will print and error and nothing will hapends,
BUT it will not brick the board, like the MSI's all in one update method..

X120e update BIOS failed "Driver Loading Failed. The Utility cannot proceed"

I was tried to update Bios to 1.12 but not successed..
It always came out this message " Driver Loading Failed. The Utility cannot proceed."..
I tried to update under safe mode, still not work..
I tried to use Winflash, it came out "Cannot open new BIOS file"..
There's only one method that I didn't try is that burn a ISO CD and connect to External CDROM.. but I don't have External CDROM..
The reason that I update Bios is that I want to install Toolbox; otherwise, I won't take this risk..

Sounds like something wonky with your Windows install. I'd avoid doing a BIOS update through such an install.

Updating BIOS failed because it says computer needs insert system battery.

I was updating the BIOS for my Toshiba model number L755-55158 and it downloaded the update fine and when it was going to install it says insert system battery. The computer is plugged into the power outlet so it is not asking for the battery that powers the computer. I think it is asking for some battery that I am not aware of. This computer is very new, I bought about a week ago. So why is the BIOS not updating from Toshiba Service Station? Is a BIOS update crucial?

I think that the Bios update is just wanting to make sure that there is almost no chance of the computer failing during the Bios installation. So it is asking if the main battery is installed and fully charged prior to running the Bios update. Beyond power cord and the fully charged battery being in the computer, I would also want to make sure that no other programs are open or unsaved files. Once while doing a Bios update, I had a Word document open. Without giving me a chance to save and close, the Bios update rebooted the computer. Lost only a few minutes of work, but it was annoying.

Update BIOS Failed on Tecra R10 with Windows7

Hello,
I have problems with updating the BIOS of my Tecra R10J. The current version is 1.4, and I want to update it to 3.0, so i have downloaded from Toshiba web site the correct file named "P006Cv300.exe" released from 11/04/2009. This is a BIOS update ONLINE into a real session of Windows 7. Simply, right click the compress exe, click run as admin and that's all but ......... for me it said :
*"[Error] The starting of service was aborted. User does not have administrator privileges"*
see below :
http://perso.orange.fr/100mo/bioserror.jpg
I've tried it with :
- closed AV, Firewall, etc ...
- disable UAC
- Run as administrator
- Tried with an another admin account
- Safe mode (bios update does not support safe mode)
- direct local administrator session
No change. Still the message "User does not have administrator privileges".
Need help please, found nothing on Google (similar Bios problem but not solved !!!!!)
Thank you

Hi and thanks for your reply.
Yes my Tecra was delivered with Vista and not 7 but the bios update i've downloaded is "os independant". I can't believe that i must reinstall Vista for successful upgrading BIOS !! It's a joke ?
When i download the bios update on Toshiba website i choose "Tecra R10" and "Windows 7 64 bits" and then donwloaded the corresponding file.
Now I 've installed VAP, reboot notebook and now i have always the same error *but i found these errors in the eventviewer immediately after executing bios update* :
+\SystemRoot\SysWow64\Drivers\Aspi32.SYS has been blocked from loading due to incompatibility with this system. Please contact your software vendor for a compatible version of the driver.+
and
+The Aspi32 service failed to start due to the following error: This driver has been blocked from loading+
and
+The NCHGBIOS2SVC service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.+
Any idea ?
Thank you ;)

Could you suggest me how to solve this problem?

You can't. Call customer service and ask for a motherbord replace.

3480CT: Attempt to update BIOS fails

Hi
I have a 3480CT and wanted to update the BIOS, but only have the Toshiba USB FDD drive. When rebooting with BIOS disk in, the drive boots perfectly, but states "non-system disk error" and won't perform the update.
Is the USB FDD drive the culprit, or is there something I'm not doing right?
Regards
Martin

Hello
I dont thinks that it is a Toshiba USB FDD drive fault.
Can you say me your procedure to upgrade the BIOS?
As far as I know you have to press F12 to flash the BIOS.
This is a whole procedure how to upgrade BIOS for Portege 3480CT
1. Extract the zip file containing the BIOS upgrade to a formatted floppy disk (please see note below regarding which type of disk to use).
2. Ensure the Notebook is connected to the mains.
3. Turn the Notebook off.
4. Turn the Notebook on with the F12 key. Keep the key pressed until a short beep can be heard.
5. The message "Ready for BIOS update. Place the BIOS update diskette in the drive and press any key when ready to proceed" will appear.
6. Place the diskette containing the BIOS upgrade in the floppy disk drive and press any key. FDD access will begin.
7. When prompted by the message: "Please push the RESET switch (or turn AC power OFF/ON) to restart" remove the floppy disk and either press the RESET switch (if available) or turn the system off and back on to restart the Notebook.
Bye

MOVED: MSI H67MA-E35 (B3) update bios FAIL

This topic has been moved to BIOS.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=161879.0

Its probably just a bricked board. I suggest you phone your local PC shops and find out which one has a ISP programmer. That way they can flash the latest, or any BIOS version for that matter, onto the current BIOS chip, ensuite. Here is an example of such a programmer http://www.xeltek.com/In-System-Programmers/SuperPro-IS01/
Fry's Electronics in the US seems to be quite helpful from what I understand. That is of course if you are from the US.
You can download the latest BIOS from the MSI site and take that along on a USB flash drive, and they will be able to flash it for you, at a fee of course, normally.
Else you can search the web for companies that specialise in sending you ready flashed BIOS chips, which will of course cost money as well and means you have to solder it onto the board.
Alternatively you can send the board to a MSI technical centre and they will also do the job.
You will have to weigh up the costs and time effort and decide.

P67A-GD55, long reboot when overclocking

Hi, I have the P67A-GD55 with an i5 2500k and the problem arises when I overclock: changing the vcore or the multiplier (with or without turbo, it doesn't matter) makes the system unable to reboot (in windows or save and reboot in the bios). It sits there doing nothing and the monitor off and the only way to "continue" is to press the power button for a few seconds. It's very annoying. What causes that?
Rest of the system:
Intel i5 2500k @ 4.3 (1.22v) done in bios
MSI P67A-GD55 BIOS 1.E, 7/SP1 64 bit
Corsair AX750 +12v@62A, +5v@25A, +3.3v@25A
G.SKILL Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
Powercolor Radeon HD 5850
SB Audigy 2ZS
Vertex 2 60Gb
WD 1Tb Blue
Seagate 320Gb
Samsung SH-B123L
Corsair 650D

I don't want and won't let it on auto; the voltage was 1.3 and the temps rose also which I don't want.
In that case, is 1.22v's enough to make the system 100% stable at 43X under 'all' load requirements? There is a tradeoff here. CPU V. on Auto will preserve some power saving features & throttling. Setting manual will lock & fix the CPU V. & might not supply enough in a high CPU demand spike if not set high enough. What unsatisfactory CPU temp are we talking about at 1.3v's? Using the same CPU regardless of the mainboard it is on, will most likely net the same results. To run at a given speed, a CPU needs '?' amount of voltage.

P67A-GD55 BIOS Update Fail

I have updated my P67A-GD55 from J0 to 4.10. It was ok and from 4.10 to 4.20. Now, my pc does not work. What I did was;
1. Downloaded bios from the MSI website
2. Put onto a USB drive
3. Flashed the BIOS via the menu in the BIOS
4. PC rebooted and continued to install some things
5. PC now, after reboot only nothing on screen, dvd drive makes a sound then reboots and keeps doing this.
I have tried to clear CMOS by pin...Also tried by removing the battery for at least 10 minutes...And also tried by removing RAMs...No joy at all...Please help me.

Try a full cmos clear, to make sure this occurs:
1.) Unplug the machine
2.) Remove the cmos battery
3.) Hold the power button in for about 10 secs
4.) Short the cmos clear pins
Then try to boot the machine with 1 stick of memory installed.
If you are unable to get the machine to post, you will need to:
1.) Send the board to msi for reflashing. (If it is underwarranty, you would only need to pay for shipping to msi)
>>How to contact MSI.<<
2.) Take the board to a computer shop that has an spi programmer for reflashing. (Cost varies)
3.) Possibly borrow an support ivy cpu (no gaurantee this will work, but free if it does) then flash back to me7 with a file we give you and reinstall your 2500k

P67A-GD55 (B3) bios update to Ivy Bridge, question regarding PCIe-3

Hi,
Ive just updated my P67A-GD55 (B3) to the 4.0 BIOS for Ivy Bridge and I am a little confused as to whether of not I will be able to benfit from PCIe-3 support on a Ivy Bridge CPU?
I intend to run 2 x GTX 680 in SLI, will I still be limited to PCIe-2 of can my board now take advantage of PCI-e 3?
Many thanks in advance.

For PCI-E 3.0, a Z68 G3 series mainboard with an Ivy CPU would be needed at the minimum. So far, you are not really missing anything anyway. PCI-E 3.0 doesn't seem to be reported as providing all that much of a performance benefit with current apps, programs, and games.
Having tested GTX 680 on the P67, I must say it is in itself running PCI-E 2.0 very impressive.

P67A GD55 Windows fails to boot after flashing

Hi!
Tried to update my bios today using Live Update 5. Everything went according to plan until it was time to reboot after the succesful flashing. It started booting and everything was fine. The windows loading screen appears but then i get a message that something is wrong and it tries to repair it. Of course this fails and i've also tried to do a system repair using a back up.
I'm running windows 8 64-bit.
Got a Intel i7 2600k 3.4ghz cpu.
The old bios was from 2010 something.
I cannot get into the bios either when pressing f8 or del.
Any help is appreciated.

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55.html#/?div=BIOS
Try to re-flash to 1C, make sure to use the forum flash tool. You will need to install the tool on another computer and use that computer to prepare the flash drive.
Then try to boot from the flash drive.
1 min just in case I am going to attached special archive. Make sure that is your board.
Use option 1 of the forum flash tool and point it at the attached archive. This will flash you ME version as well if needed.
That is my board. Can i use that forum flash tool on a mac? I only have mac computers in my house except for my gaming rig.
Edit. I read in the thread you can only use it on Windows systems. Guess i will have to wait until tomorrow and borrow a Windows computer. Is there a chance the whole Motherboard is garbage now?

8GB of RAM Installed, only 4GB detected/used by BIOS/Windows 7 (with P67A-GD55)

Let me start off by saying that I'm not very good with computers. At all. I know a little bit about them, but I am by no means an expert. That said, I have 8GB of RAM installed on my motherboard, spread out across 4 sticks. However, upon looking at my BIOS and my Windows Resource Monitor, it declares that I only have 4GB of RAM installed and usable. This is what I know so far:
- This issue has been prevalent as long as I've had my computer, and by extension my motherboard and my RAM sticks, so this issue isn't recent.
- I do have a 64bit version of Windows 7. I've checked and double-checked, and I'm 99.5% positive that it is.
- Speccy, a 3rd party program designed for checking system specs, declares that I do, in fact, have 8GB installed.
- I don't think that the RAM is bad because the BIOS still does pick up on different statistics of the RAM that are in the slots; it just fails to register the actual fact that they're there.
System Specs:
OS: Windows 7 64bit SP1
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K @ 3.30GHz
RAM: Patriot PSD32G133K 4x2GB DDR3 @ 498MHz
Motherboard: MSI P67A-GD55 P67 LGA 1155
HDD: 977GB SAMSUNG SAMSUNG HD103SJ ATA Device (SATA)
Optical Drive: LG DVDRAM GH24NS50 ATA Device
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6870 1GB VRAM
PSU: Cooler Master 750 Watt
BIOS Version: E7681IMS V1.5
Now this is where it gets interesting: My motherboard has 4 DIMM slots for the RAM, and the motherboard (I assume by default) works in dual-channel mode. This means that DIMM 1 and 3 work together and so do DIMM 2 and 4, which most of you probably understand. However, filling up all 4 slots only gives me half the RAM. So I remove the RAM from slots 2 and 4, and it results in all 4GB of RAM being detected. Then, I add in each other RAM stick one at a time, and it fails to register both. So I remove the RAM from slots 1 and 3, and keep the RAM from slots 2 and 4, and it ends up in all 4GB being registered.
I feel like the answer should be directly in front of me, but from endless Google searches and posts on other forums, I have ended up at a dead end. I'm completely clueless, so I could really use some help.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Also, if this is the wrong forum for this, feel free to move it wherever.

What is your current UEFI/BIOS Version?
The usual cause of such problems is (apart from bad memory slots or a defect of the processor's memory controller) a contact problem between the boards CPU Socket contact pins and the CPU's contact pads. Broke or bent pins are one explanation, in other instances a heatsink that is fastened to tight can also cause such issues.
I'll have the BIOS version up in a moment, but I'll see about diagnosing if one of those problems might just be what is my problem. Any tips on doing that?
Also, BIOS version is up in the OP now.

P67A-GD55 (B3) 3TB Support - What BIOS is Required?

Hi Guys,
Can someone from staff please confirm what version of the BIOS is required for 3TB support for the P67A-GD55 B3?
I currently have the latest stable BIOS installed from the link below:
http://uk.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#?div=BIOS
Version 1.D (Release Date: 2011-06-24)
Thanks,
Mark

2.2+TB support is a standard feature of the UEFI framework. So, basically, you do not need any special UEFI Version for that. Note that the 2.2TB barrier is first and foremost a limitation of the common MBR partition tables:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table
The solution (GUID Partition Table (GPT) support) is a part of the (U)EFI framework.
If you want to work with a disk partition larger than 2.2TB, it needs to be a GPT partition.
In case you run into any problems to mark a 3TB GPT as bootable, you may want to consider an UEFI Update to the latest version (E7681IMS.1E0):
http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55--B3-.html#/?div=Download
... as it includes a newer version of the Intel AHCI/RAID Firmware.
