Where is the Vga bios?

I have MSI Ti4200 8X 128 Mb. VTP (MS-8889)
Where is the Vga bios for this card? (Original or updated)

Sorry for my English.
I haven't any problem whit this card. And I don't need upgrade the bios.
But I want to seen in "Archives" if this product is not very unusual. This is a support.
I take my answer.
Thanks a lot.

The difference between this and other Ti4200-8x is it has dual VGA output compare to others' VGA + DVI.
Have you tried Live-Update?
May I know why do you need the VGA BIOS? Is the card flawed? Is the RAM on the card running slower? Is there any artifacts? If you don't have this problem, you don't need to update any VGA BIOS.

Where are the older BIOS versions gone?

Hi
A few weeks back, I've upgraded the BIOS on my Pavilion G6 1001sq to the latest version (F66). I noticed that the laptop is running considearbly hotter since then and I want to revert to an older BIOS version. When I go to the updates page on the HP website and click on "older versions available" I can only see the F66 version on the page I'm directed to ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/previousVersions?softwareitem=ob-115746-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4... ), although a long list with many versions was available till recently. Where are the older versions gone?

Unfortunately, I do not know where they have gone. HP is working on issues with the suport and driver servers at the moment.
Since your notebook does have the UEFI Diagnostics installed, you should be able to rollback to the previous version that was installed. Use the firmware management option to do that.

Where is msi vga bios update for GF4 Ti cards?

It seems like many other card vendors are updating the bios on their GF4 cards for better performance. My friend got a nice performance boost on his winfast from a bios update. Everytime I search on MSI Live Update (I have to update Live Update...whats up with so many versions of a simple download utility) it says there are no vga bios updates for my GF4/4400. I read on these forums that .25 (I think) was a disaster and trashed everybodys cards. Is there news on an improved update?

Msi are going to be last, and then if they release new bios for G4Ti cards.
Don´t you now they suck, I would sell my card right now if I could.
I'm using Asus DVCR for TV because Wincoder with my version did not support full screen window.
I got fantastic stupid tips from MSI support, because my MSI-CLOCK and 3D!Turbo don't work. And it still not work with XP.
If I had 1$ for hour that i had spent to this card trying to let work right. I could get better card from other vendor. I will never get anything with MSI stamp. I'ts better to spent more money and save time for better thinks.

Re: Tecra A10 - where are the release notes for updated BIOS?

Hi,
I have a problem with my Tecra A 10, it occassionally shuts itself down.
I've updated from BIOS 1.4 to BIOS 3.0 to see if this fixes it.
I can't find any release notes to see what has changed between BIOS revisions, can someone point me to them?
Thanks
Dominic

Hi as***,
Thanks for that, exactly what I was looking for.
I won't know if it's fixed it or not until I run the laptop for a few days as it only happens every now and again.
I can already see faster boot times after the bios update though, which is one of the things listed in the bios change history so it was worth updating it.
The laptop is only a few months old, I checked the heat sink before I updated the bios as I read this shutdown problem can be caused by overheating due to a clogged heat sink but mine is clean already.
It also has a problem with the USB ports, sometimes when I plug in a USB device it blue screens, again not consistently, just every now and again. I'm hoping the bios update might help with that as well but still going to look at any other firmware that might help as well.
Thanks
Dominic

VGA Bios questions...

My VGA card is MSI FX5600-TD256.
Here are my questions:
1)Which is the latest Bios version for my card? My current version is 4.31.20.39.00. Is there a newer one? Searching through the web I found another version including this text in the read me file:
Quote
MSI GeForce FX BIOS
Name : GeForce FX 5600 BIOS
Version : 4.31.20.69.00 Ultra : No
2)Is it worth updating the bios? (I have restart problems probably caused by graphics card...)
3)Which is the proccess I have to follow to update it? (Just copy the .rom file in a disk and boot from that disk??)
4)Why in MSI site there are no VGA Bios files?
5)How do I back up my current VGA bios version?
Thanks in advance...

If MSI live Update finds no BIOS upgrade then there is no BIOS upgrade available. Even if there is one available, I don't recommend updating VGA BIOS unless there is a known documented issue relating to your problem. As far as I know there is no issue currently. I have not come across this issue in these forums either.
I don't have any answers to your restart problem since you did not provide any details of this restart problem. I cannot guarantee I would even if you did, but do so anyway.
I never update VGA BIOS's so I can't help you on backing up your current VGA BIOS. Someone else will have to step in for that.
The MSI site doesn't archive VGA BIOS files for the public. MSI only updates the original VGA BIOS from nVidia in circumstances such as when they decide to use a different RAM package than specified from nVidia spec. Oftentimes I see users reporting that MSI Live Update hosed their VGA BIOS after an update and in a few circumstances I have been able to request the original BIOS file.
Again, it's not worth updating the VGA BIOS as they get it right the first time and they hardly ever deviate from the original nVidia BIOS unless a certain RAM package is used for say an OEM version of the card or a performance version where they may use a faster package etc.
I recommend looking elsewhere for your restart problem.

MSI VGA Bios Not available

I ran Sandra last night to pull up sys info. The MSI 9800GT BIO was written in the year 2000. I also know the next comment will be,> what do you think a bios does and why should it be update.
It should be updated to unlock parameters that were not taken into considerations ten years ago.
I have never seen Sandra miss read anything, it has always been on the money, and very conservative in its reply.
Where is the updated BIO for MSI Graphic accelerations?

Where is the updated BIO for MSI Graphic accelerations?
There is no such, the BIOS is not a driver and shall be not updated when everything is working fine.
If need it, it can be provided by MSI Tech.

That VGA is not 10 years old I fail to see how VBIOS can be 10 years old in such case.

Downgrade vga bios

Hi ,
I have a NX6600GT VTD128 and I have updated ( big mistake ) the vga bios to the latest version using Live update.
The current bios is 5.43.02.64.00 but I don't have the previous one.
The thing is that i lost the temp readings from the display manager .
Is there any way I can retrieve the previous bios version?
I did the upgrade because I had some artifacts when using 3d models in Autocad and when playing games ( Freelancer ) and I still
having them even after formatting the HDD.
After formatting I use first the MSI drivers , I unistall them and use the latest NV drivers (Fware 93.71 )
Still the same.
thanks

Coolbits is simply a small file that adds registry entries so that hidden capabilities in the nVidia settings panel become available. You can get Coolbits from Guru3D, http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=815 . RivaTuner has even more capabilities, http://www.guru3d.com/index.php?page=rivatuner&menu=8
Quote from: Guru3D
Software Description
Coolbits 2 unleashes hidden function within ForceWare drivers, it enables several new Direct3d and OpenGL configuration tabs, and even more tweaking capability from the nVidia taskbar settings panel.
FAQ:
Q. I dont see the temperature settings, is this due to my card?
A. The temp settings panel is only available with cards equipped with thermal sensors. Some cards that I know of have temp sensors are 5700 Ultra, 5800 Ultra, 5900 non-Ultra and Ultra, and 5950 ultra. But really it all comes down to the manufacturer. I have seen some 5700 and 5900 without temp sensor, but mainly the cheaper XT/LX/SE versions.
Q. The Fan always on doesn`t seem to work
A. The 'fan always on' option is for cards with the OTES (i.e. 5800U) or similar cooling system in which shuts off in 2d mode. It will force fan on even in 2D mode. Of course this means the fans on the hs/f be designed such a way that this option can work.
Q. I thought it enabled Opengl 2.0. It doesn't though.
A. OpenGL Shading Language 2.0 can only be enabled on 55.xx and higher Forceware drivers. It had not yet been implemented in older Detonator or pre 55 Forceware drivers.
Q. Where is the application profiles page?
A. It has been disabled to allow for OpenGL and Direct3d tabs. You can re-enable the application profiles page by changing its respective value to 1 in the coolbits file.
If you experience any minor problems, simply uninstall/reinstall your display driver. I would recommend using Driver Cleaner as well, especially when switching driver versions.
Unpack the achive (self extracting) and then in the setup directory simply click on the .reg file. To get to these options simply right-click on your desktop and go to 'NVIDIA Analog Display' (Win XP/2003). For Win 2000 and lower you may need to get to the Nvidia Control Panel the old way. Right click desktop > Properties > Settings > Advanced > GeForce xxxx
*NOTE: Coolbits 2 is not fully compatible with driver versions older than 55.xx. If you do happen to run this tweak with drivers older than 55.xx you will more than likely get errors at startup! To enable full compatibility, you must disable the options that are causing issues with your current setup.

VGA bios - Geforce 4 MX 460 VTP

Hi
How download the VGA Bios for my Geforce 4 MX 460 VTP ???
thanks

you have to use Live Update to search any BIOS image. However, i dont recommend you to do this because Live update is known to make die video boards. If you have any problem related to BIOS, it is better to keep dealing with those problems instead of getting a death video card. Anyway if you really want to flash the BIOS, first look for a green jumper on the card. It is the TwinBIOS function, to recover original BIOS without losing the video card. If you dont have this jumper, then i STRONGLY recommend not to flash your video card BIOS!

Trying coreboot...vga bios issue

hi. I'm giving coreboot a try, but i've found a couple of problems.
Now, the documentation says if i dont have an external VGA adapter (PCI, AGP, PCIe), i need to add the VGA BIOS.
this is the page with the procedures: http://www.coreboot.org/VGA_support
My MoBo is the Gigabyte GA-MA785GMT-UD2H (Award BIOS), which has an on-board VGA. So i guess that means i have to add the bios.
first theres is the option of specify directly the path, filename, vendor_id and device_id. but i dont have the faintest idea about what path and filename are.
The first method to get it is a program called bios_extract, which i've compiled and run (according to the doc, ./bios_extract hdmag217.rom), without any success, it does not find the file hdmag217.rom
I tried too a former software called awardeco, but it says it doesnt find via.rom
Another method is a direct copy of the bios via dd. So i guess bios ROM it's supposed to be mapped into RAM.
In order to know the sizer of the rom i need to check /proc/iomem and look for ROM. Well it doesnt appear ROM anywhere.
The VGA on-board is an ATI HD4200. Is it possible it is taken as a pci card although is built on the mobo?
I dont wanna flash the bios without having everything clear, so i wanted to make sure first.
cheers.

You need to do this after restoring your BIOS:
# cat /proc/iomem | grep 'Video ROM' | (read m; m=${m/ :*}; s=${m/-*}; e=${m/*-}; \
dd if=/dev/mem of=vgabios.bin bs=1c skip=$[0x$s] count=$[$[0x$e]-$[0x$s]+1])
(That is one line, copy and paste the whole thing). Credit: coreboot wiki

Looking for VGA BIOS [8800GT-T2D512E-OC]

I am looking for latest VGA BIOS for MSI 8800GT-T2D512E-OC since this card is not detected by my Motherboard and MSI Live Update BSODs on launch using my friends system.

Quote from: Stu on 30-December-07, 20:53:31
decalpha,
Did you phone, email, or use the online support request form? (http://support.msi.com.tw)
Don't forget, it is holiday period, so reply might take a while longer.
For support requests submitted at the link above, you have to go back to that page to see any response
Support request was logged online @ (http://support.msi.com.tw) on 4th of December stating this problem.
In the mean time I had to flash my Motherboard BIOS as requested by support among other things.
And last week I was asked to flash the VGA BIOS which requires a different system. But, MSI LIVE update would BSOD on launch.
Anyway, as you said the delay in reply may be due to holiday season. Guess, will have to wait for some more time.
Hopefully I wouldn't have to return the card.

VGA Bios states "Engineering Release"

Hi Folks,
I recently installed the K7N2G-LISR MB for a family member. After delivery I noticed the message in the VGA Bios of "Engineering Sample, not for production use" in the POST. Now, before I get my shorts in a twist, is this refering to the MB or can this be resolved by updating the BIOS? I got the board from a local shop with a good history. Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Fill out an online technical support form at:
http://www.msicomputer.com/msiforms/c_problem_desc_form3.asp.
Explain that you have a reference BIOS, and that you need to upgrade to the latest revision. I did this for my 6200 that had the same problem; within one business day, MSI emailed me a new BIOS. For those of you that have the MSI NX6200AX 128, you can download the BIOS they sent me from my website:

GX700: Upgrading the vga to ATI 4650.

I own a GX700 and I am thinking of changing the vga because I am having problems with the Geforce 8600M GT. I tried buying another 8600M GT but it did not last even a week before it went bad and I got a full refund on it.
Now I am thinking of switching to ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650 MXM II but I am not sure if I will need to change the vga bios.
Could you give me a link or send me a bios for the HD 4650 that should work with my GX700 or do you think it should work with the bios that will be in the vga?

Quote from: Stu on 03-October-10, 21:50:55
What problems?
Black screen flashes, black flickering of the screen, vga driver crashes and restarts (on vista/win7, on XP just crashes), blue screen with memory dump, restart. That is pretty much it
I have tried using XP, Vista, Windows 7, older or newer drivers. Nothing makes any difference.
Video Memory Stress Test shows errors in the memory.
Quote from: Stu on 03-October-10, 21:50:55
How did it "go bad"?
At first it worked fine on every game/test that I tried. After a few days it started giving me the good old black screens, flickering, etc. They were a little bit different but with the same origin.
Video Memory Stress Test showed a little bit different errors in the memory, compared to the old video card.
They tried testing pretty much everything before they gave me the refund. It turned out that the problem was with the video card again.
I read this: http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1028703/all-nvidia-g84-g86s-bad
and some article about Apple giving 4 year warranty on those video cards even if the macbook's warranty is over.
After that, I decided that I want to try a different vga.
I can underclock the card if it overheats but the question is - can it work with my laptop at all? Do I need a msi vga bios?

Where is the Vga bios?
