X121e Linux Resolution/BIOS Issues

Hi,
I posted a few weeks ago about an intermittent resolution my x121e is having. It switches to 1280x800 rather than the correct 136x768. This issue remained for a week, then disappeared, and has now returned. It effects the whole computer, rather than just the linux mint 11 operating system. Terminal commands (xrandr) and grub edits, do not provide a fix.
Hence it has been suggested this is likely a BIOS bug relating to graphics or the motherboard. I am considering a resetting BIOS to defaults once I can ensure the effects this will have on the general working of the machine. No edits have been made to the BIOS by me personally so I cannot be sure if it will work.
Other than the virtual shoulder to cry on, would anyone have any advice on what else might be at issue?
Or the warranty status pertaining to Linux users?
Regards,
Daniel.

Hello, I have exactly this issue on mine too
I'm under win7 sp1.
The issue is visible under bios and win7 rescue mode.
I have changed drivers and setup win7 again but nothing is working.
Is this issue known by Lenovo?
Is there a fix ? a bios # to avoid ?
Best regards,
Olivier

K8N Bios issues

I running into some strange bios issues.
If you increase your FSB in the bios past 210 or so the Raid array is no longer detected on SATA 1 and 2. You then have a hell of a time getting back into the bios. No matter how many times you hit the delete button during the boot. Once you are able to get into the bios and lower the FSB your boot order has changed and the Raid array is no longer the first in order?????????????
Whats up with that. Come on MSI get us a good bios. This release version is pretty buggy. If you look at all the reviews on this mobo, take a look at the bios they are using. The Cell menu is located on the Left half of the screen not on the Right like this bios. It seems it also clocks much better than this thing, as I have never heard of any problems on the review sites about dissapearing SATA arrays, unlike I have here on this and other forums.

And that my friends is known as a System Crash. When first running a new system, give it a day or so running at stock settings before going in and changing for increased performance. It may sound "Old-fashioned", but I really believe in letting electronics "burn-in". Then, when you do make changes - make them one at a time, and in small increments! I think this board is really a good one. Aside from slightly higher temps than my 64 3000+, I think it was easier to get running, and a lot more stable.

HP dv6 Bios issue

Hi I have a Hewlett Packard dv6 1204AX
I have it running windows 32 bit.
4GB Ram. Everything else is standard with no overclocking ever.
My problem began today when my mate bought over a black screened laptop.
We began by noticing that his would not turn on. we concluded that it might be the hard drive.
To test this we took the harddrive out of mine and put it in his. We also tried the RAM, removing that from the dv6 but it would not fit. We did not force anything.
We then tried his hard drive in my laptop to see if his harddrive would work...it did not.
I then put my laptop back together, replacing the RAM and the hard drive but when I started it, my laptop was now black screening with the lights blinking twice, pointing at a BIOS issue.
I tried the hard reset with no luck.
I pulled out the hard drive and ram, blew to make sure no dust was on it, and put it back in. Still no luck.
I tried the windows + B fix. Still no good.
I removed CMOS battery for 40 minutes. replaced. Still no go.
I loaded BIOS software from the HP site onto a usb stick but it wouldn't load the stick. DID change the name of the file to a .bin file as told.
I have tried multiple hard resets etc.
I then asked a friend who fixes computers who told me to go and get a new CMOS battery...I did that...put it and still two blips.
I feel like I have exhausted all options.
Please help.

MSI 890FXA-GD70 and 3Ware 9750-4i BIOS issues

This is my second build with this motherboard. This post is just to help anyone who might be trying to get similar hardware combinations to work.
The BIOS revision is 1.7, which was the revision the board came with.
When running with a 3Ware 9750-4i board you will find that the 3Ware BIOS will complain about not being able to install. At first it was complaining about the motherboard BIS not providing enough RAM to live in, but after I set the on-board SATA controller to AHCI is stopped complaining and just didn't show up at all.
Now, don't be discouraged if you aren't booting from the 3Ware controller, because this won't stop it from working. When the OS loads the driver, everything is fine.
I suspect it would also work if you completely disabled the on-board controller, but that wasn't an option for me. I wanted to run three additional HDs and two optical drives on that controller, as well as the four drives on the 3Ware.
I kept experimenting with slot positions for the cards, but nothing produced a change at all.
Finally I spent time in the OS trying to make the AHCI drivers for the on-board controller work with connect/disconnect. There appeared no way in Win7 x64 to get any AHCI drivers to load but the default Microsoft ones, which don't support hot-swap or even connect/disconnect.
It appeared to me that the only AHCI drivers supplied by AMD or MSI specifically work only when the controller is in RAID mode. So I tried setting the controller to RAID mode in the BIOS, and discovered that it now played nice with the 3Ware BIOS. Now I am going to reinstall Windows 7 with the 3Ware drivers and select a 3Ware drive to boot from, to see if I can get the AMD or MSI-supplied drivers to work with the on-board controller. I suspect I will get all the features promised then. If I don't, I will return here and report the results.

I completed the new install of Win7 - this time with the 3ware controller as the primary, and the on-board SATA set to RAID.
First, I had to load drivers for the on-board RAID during the install, just to let the install continue. Then I had to load drivers to tell Win7 about the drive where I wanted to install. I thought it would ask for both up front, but it wouldn't take both - it only wanted the drivers for the controller to which the DVD was connected. THEN, after it was ready to ask for a location for the install, it let me put the 3ware drivers up.
Once the system was loaded, I was disappointed to find that none of the on-board RAID drives showed up in the add/remove dialog, but I was able to use a utility to make them work with hot-swapping. It is called Hotswap!
http://mt-naka.com/hotswap/index_enu.htm
and it allowed me to connect/disconnect drives plugged into the on-board controller housed in the Thermaltake MAX-2533.
With the settings like that, the BIOS issues disappear, with both the on-board RAID and the 3ware co-existing nicely. This indicates to me that there is likely something wrong with the standard AHCI BIOS-related screen that makes the 3ware controller unhappy. I doubt the 3ware is the only BIOS-installing card to feel that way, so if you have your drives set to AHCI, but have issues with any other cards, you might look into setting the drives to RAID or to IDE (though you lose some features like NCQ)
I also forgot to mention that I also have a four-port PCI-Express NIC from Intel in the system, so I have updated the system summary below:
MSI 890FXA-GD70 | AMD Phenom II X6 1090T | ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX-B | CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9B | HIS Silence H557HR1G Radeon HD 5570 | Antec Solo Black case | Corsair CMPSU-750TXV2 | 3ware LSI00216 (9750-4i) | Intel PRO/1000 PT Quad Port NIC | Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS (x7) | Thermaltake MAX-2533 | Plextor PX-L890SA | Plextor PX-B940SA-11

MS GS70-2PE BIOS issue

Hi,
Recently i began to get an issue when you press delete button all it gives is black screen with "-" on screen.
I have not flashed bios or anything :/ so i have tried holding in the battery reset and that did not solve it and i have done power button same there nothing solved so does anyone else have a fix for this? since i cannot enter bios at all now.

well no i havent and now i began to get issue again -.- so yeah i might flash it to see if it solves it
I have not flashed 10A yet so yeah i cannot do it while bios refuses to work at all :(
Update: now i have new issue :( now it refuses to boot at all since i remains stuck on MSI logo for ages and that power button is lit up orange so if i take hout msata and HDD it still does same it wont boot at all now not even into USB drive or into bios anymore :(
Update 2: Now laptop gives that "-" issue again when booting into bios -.-
Update 3: whenever i put my msata and 1TB back it locks itself on MSI logo again but if i only have 250GB hard disk i got on side putted in then laptop throws black screen with "-" on it :/
so i think its bios issue.
Update 4: i have tried the EC reset nothing either :/ bios isnt responding to me at all it's like it has hanged itself :/ so only fix for me would be disamble the laptop completely and remove cmos battery and see if that would power down the bios chip and then i put it back but doing so will then make it void warranty :(
Update 5: i have contacted the store and hope they will replace it asap since i cannot find fix for this problem :(

Z77A-G43 GAMING Bios Issue

Hey all, i'm wondering if anyone else has had this issue or any suggestions for repair. My motherboard is just over a year old and it seems the bios has packed in on me. I don't want to chuck it because I do like this board with my hardware configuration. Before I go any further I would like to say it is definitely a corrupt bios issue and sadly this board only has the one so I cant swap to bios 2. So my question is this: is there a way to flash the bios without being able to POST? The computer currently cycles through the power up process and shuts down after about 1 second which starts again after about 5 seconds and repeats this pattern until I pull the plug.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I had several problems with the machine over the past few days, The computer keeps failing to post and so I reset the bios as per the manual and all was well again but as soon as I restart the pc, I get the exact same problem. no post and have to reset the bios. This went on for several attempts at rebooting until now it just wont boot and resetting the bios isn't working. I know all other aspects of the setup are working because I have tested them so its the only logical conclusion.
if the computer worked before like you said a year + with the same BIOS,
and you didn't change anything to the BIOS before this happens
then its not BIOS issue, BIOS can't broke by itself

Is there no way to get the board to copy a new bios from USB stick or something?
placing the BIOS stick over USB key
but i don't think that will makes any difference

ACPI - Linux&OtherOS - BIOS 1.4 Issues not solved

Now I think that is time to become angry.
Me and other Linux Users have found an issue about ACPI in this MoBo that doesn't allow to get the board in standby. The problem was a BIOS BUG , in the DSDT table, that is bugged . The ACPI BIOS is non compleatly conformed to the standards. This make me think that MSI have produced this BIOS only thinking that this will work only on MS Windows.
Now , I've adviced MSI by E-Mail 2 times (no response), posted on the forum this issue and the mods have reported me that have forwarded my messages to MSI. I've posted to MSI the patch to the DSDT table too , so this problem was completly solved , MSI has only to check the syntax of the patch , correct it and patch the BIOS , but MSI haven't do this.
Now , I need ACPI, on the box I've read ACPI Compilant , but this isn't completly true! On the box they should write Windows ACPI Compilant!
I wants only ask you why MSI have ignored completly this ACPI Issue
Bye
Marcello

No it's needed because of TLB fix that you don't need but the first Phenoms do.

Tecra A11 - Video/Latest BIOS issues

Hello All,
I just received a Toshiba Tecra A11 the other day which is out of warranty (Refurb). When I got the laptop there was an issue where the picture was displayed at 1024x768 and off centre (In BIOS). The image was 1-2cm off screen to the left, with about 5-6cm black space to the right of the picture, the bottom 2-3 cm's of the picture were also off the bottom of the screen.
I installed Ubuntu Studio initially and attempted to force the display to a widescreen resolution. I didn't have any luck, I also installed Win7 but still with the latest drivers I had no luck.
This was strange because BIOS was displayed the same way so naturally I decided to upgrade to the latest BIOS version. The BIOS on the laptop was quite old (End of 2009).
I downloaded the BIOS update from Toshiba's web site, and ran the update.
The new BIOS was installed and the machine rebooted.
However there was no picture displayed on the LCD panel, windows did successfully boot, if I connect an external monitor to the laptop I get picture. When starting the laptop the LCD backlight does light up.
My question is: What can I do to resolve this issue? Is there a BIOS recovery or downgrade tool available? Is it possible to reflash the bios? What is recommended?
Thanks.

> The new BIOS was installed and the machine rebooted.
> However there was no picture displayed on the LCD panel, windows did successfully boot, if I connect an external monitor to the laptop I get picture. When starting the laptop the LCD backlight does light up.
Does this mean that everything is ok using external monitor?
Can you access the BIOS pressing F2 and can you set it to default settings?
Usually you can switch between external and internal display using the key combination FN + F5. Does it work?

ThinkPad Twist S230U BIOS issue...

The problem is that when the computer turns on, it makes a loud series of 5 beeps, followed by a pause, and then 5 more loud beeps. Additionally, the auto-rotate feature is horrible and doesn't seem to work. Everything else works fine. However, I read in your community that I should update the BIOS to resolve both the beeping issue as well as the auto-rotate issue. I tried updating the BIOS using the Windows 8.1 Utility to do so, however it fails at the READ step. On your community, someone said that there is a Security setting that can be disabled in BIOS to get rid of the beeps. However, I'm also finding that if I try to load the BIOS settings (Press Enter at the Lenovo screen, press F1), the screen simply displays black and nothing ever comes up, therefore I can't get to BIOS settings to do anything.
I should mention that I'm not using an external display in this scenario, as I realize that sometimes external displays are not able to display the BIOS due to low resolution.
Summary: Loud Beeps & Terrible Auto-Rotate, Can't Update BIOS, Can't get into BIOS to change settings, everything else is working okay.
Ideas?
OS: Windows 8.1

Hello,
I would suggest giving Lenovo support a call directly and working with one of their support engineers to troubelshoot.

Serious Bios Issues

Okay I'll tell you what I have in the machine before I tell you the problems.
MSI KT6V Motherboard
AMD Athlon 3200+ XP
EVGA Nvidia Geforce FX 5600XT AGP
WD 120gig HD
Sound Blaster Live! sound card
2 sticks of Kingston Hyper-X 512 DDR PC-2700
Atlas Power supply 350W
Okay issue number 1.
Alright I have been having some issues graphically ever since I built the computer a couple weeks ago. Been having a problem with the 3d Rendering. I ran Direct X Diagnostics to see if i could fix it that way. I took the test given by the diag program and I failed and didn't telll if there was a way to fix it. So my next step was to check BIOS to see if everything was setup correctly. Well I noticed that my graphics card was setup as a PCI when it is a AGP card, so I switched it. I also went in and selected captain on the preset overclocking menu, because it was a medium selection and I have done it before on prior PC's and had no problems. Well after I saved changes and exited BIOS, it rebooted like normal, except my monitor did not come back. My monitor is on and recieving a signal, so I know myt connections on the outside of the miachine are good, but still no picture on the actual screen. Also My Keyboard no longer functions properly. I can get it to work by unplugging it and plugging it back in after the machine starts to run(or at least it is doing something. it's making all the usual noise, but I don't know what do to the face i have no picture.
Next Issue is my processor....
Okay I noticed that my machine is only reading my processor speed at a Athlon XP 1700+, when it is suppose to be a Athlon XP 3200+. Could this be do to the fact that I do not have my jumpers set correctly or what??
Thanks for reading my plea for help, if you can help me please post back and help guide my lost soul, so that I can have my Computer back and running. Thank you.

Move the SoundBlaster to slot 3 or 4 or 5, as it now may cause problems with your graphics card.
It's getting a bit late here, but there will be others around in the forum to help you.
Power off yours and his, and unplug the power cables.
Find a swiss screw driver, the end looks like a pointed star.
Open the cases, and unleash the switch that would be at the inner end of the brown AGP slot on the motherboard.
Then loosen the cards and do the switch. - Yes, why not have a go using your card in his machine, as it will be 'further proof in the court'.
Move the SoundBlaster in your machine.
Don't bother closing the case. I guess he will want his card back...
Cable in and power up.
Eh, I said something about the resolution previously. Of course you could make it work as normal. However, as I suspect the graphics card has gone to heaven, you will need a new one, so there isn't much point in doing too much work now.
Best of luck!

Z77A-GD65 Multiple BIOS Issues - B4 Hang, Splash Screen Blinking

Back in November 2012, I built a home server with a Z77A-GD65. Lately, I've noticed some strange things happening that I've been trying to research but to no avail.
First off, I get the B4 code hang-up whenever I'm booting. This doesn't matter if it's a cold boot or a reboot, it hangs on B4 for about 10-15 seconds, flashes 92 really quick, and then goes to A2 which it stays for another 5 or so seconds. After that I get the MSI splash screen for about 1 second, then it blinks 5 times. After that it goes into Windows just fine.
The blinking is a new issue, the B4 hang is not. I've read from multiple posts that this is a USB issue. When I disable USB legacy support, the issue goes away, but of course then I can't have legacy support. I have yet to figure out what exact device is causing it. In the process of trying to figure this out, I updated BIOS to A.A0. After updating to this version of BIOS the splash screen blinks 5 times before going to the "Starting Windows" splash screen. This is a more difficult issue to figure out why it's doing this because if you search for "BIOS" and "flash" or "flashes" or "flashing", you typically get results for flashing your BIOS. Hence, why I'm using the term "blinking". But even then I can't really find a solution out there.
I also happened to see that the website for the Z77A-GD65 is showing a newer BIOS version, but I'm unable to flash this (at least using M-Flash). I threw it on a USB, re-enabled USB legacy and whenever I click on it to install, the BIOS screen hard locks. The screen just freezes exactly where it's at in the BIOS and the mouse is dead. However, I can CTRL+ALT+DEL on the keyboard and it will reboot the system so I don't need to power cycle the computer. Not sure why this is happening either. Perhaps I need to flash this a different way? Maybe I don't need to flash this at all?
I could really use some input here on why this is happening.
As for the specs on my system, they're as follows:
i7-3770K overclocked to 4.2 Ghz by using the Turbo Mode in BIOS
32GB Komputerbay DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz DIMM with Low Profile Blue Heatspreaders Quad Channel RAM | 9-9-9-24 XMP ready
AMD PowerColor 7870 Myst Edition GPU - currently not overclocked although overclocking this doesn't seem to affect any issues
2 - 128 GB Corsair SATA III SSD - one runs the OS, the other I use to load games from
2 - 500 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200 RPM Sata II HDD's mirrored via Windows 7
1 - 750 GB Seagate Barracude 7200 RPM Sata II HDD
1 - 1 TB Western Digital MyBook USB 2.0 external
2 - 3 TB Seagate USB 3.0 external
ASUS DVD Burner - not sure which one, it's a cheapy $20 from Newegg
1 - PCI USB 3.0 expansion card
Antec TruePower New TP-550 Modular 550W Continuous Power ATX12V V2.3 / EPS12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC "compatible with Core i7/Core i5" Power Supply
NZXT Switch 810 gunmetal - currently have 4 fans running but plan on more, also the Switch 810 has the multi-card reader in the front with 1x SD Card, 2x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0
for peripherals
1 - Microsoft 360 Wireless controller adapter (legit one, not the knockoff although I had a knockoff prior to getting the real deal)
1 - Logitech Wireless USB Keyboard with Touchpad
I tried to be thorough. Thanks in advance for any help!

Probably a USB device problem.
This is a candidate, as well as mouse and keyboard. Disconnect USB devices one at a time to find the culprit.
A lot of devices running. PSU a +12V single rail or is it multi rail? A rail going to the graphics or components may not be enough amps. My best guess is the card reader.
For UEFI/BIOS flashing, select your mainboard here and use the forum flash method;
I'll definitely try unplugging some of these USB devices to see if that helps with the B4 hang issue.
As for the PSU, according to the description for it on Newegg: "Four industry-leading independent +12v rails are provided for more stable and safer power output." It has two rails going to the GPU. The GPU is a new addition to the system and so I wasn't running it until recently. The issues were occurring beforehand, but you're right that this PSU is underpowered for the rig considering PowerColor recommends a minimum of 500w. I'm going to be buying a larger capacity one sometime in the very near future. Any recommendations on good modular PSU's? What's a good way to tell what wattage to get?
Thanks for letting me know about the forum flash method. I'll be back later when I have some results.

K9n Platinum S3 BIOS Issue

Hi
I have a K9N Platinum board that is running Windows MCE2005. My issue is that the only bios that I can use to successfully send the pc to sleep is the 1.3.
If i try any other bios ( up to the latest ) whenever I put it to stand-by it immediately turns back on!
I have even disabled all wake up events in the bios with nothing plugged in at all and it still just resumes straight away.
Bios v 1.3 is the only one that it works correctly on.
Any ideas anyone?
Cheers

Er...and then what do I do with the issue that I have posted about originally!!
They may go away, they may not. But you need that CPU first.

Yoga 2 Pro Resolution Scaling Issues

So I just picked this laptop up from Best Buy the other day and so far I am loving it. However that is not to say that it has been entirely without issues so far and I do apologize if this issue has been brought up before but I was unable to find a decent answer in my searches.
I have checked this on a few games but I will focus on one that I want to play the most but also seems to have the most issues.
So this laptop is just not powerful enough to run a lot of games at the full 3200x1800 resolution and I totally understand that and was not expecting to, however, when turning the resolution down, say to 1600x900 instead of scaling the resolution to fill the screen, it runs it as the actual pixels inside a black box. This has the effect of making the games just too tiny to see, not to mention half or more of the screen is just being wasted.
This seems to really only happen when running a game in Direct X 11 mode, DX9 seems to work fine, but causes other problems and is really not a great option. Alternately, some games, I can set the windows resolution down (which scales fine in windows) and then the game will run and scale. However, specificially with Civilization 5 (one of the games I was most excited to play) it still does not work properly. There is a work around, but it is less than ideal, and I am at a loss as to why I just cant run the game at a lower resolution and have it scale and fill the screen.
Any help or information would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

There is a setting, however, when at native resolution, instead of giving the option to scale to fit display, it just has another option that says maintain display scaling or something like that (I am not on the laptop right now, so I have to double check). As far as I can tell it just does not scale properly. When I change to a non-native resolution, the options change and it then says scale to fit screen, which is what i want.
However, I would rather not have to change to a non native resolution every time I want to run a game. And, specifically in the case of Civilization 5, it doesn't help. The only thing I have found so far that works at all is to change the resolution to 1920x1080, then set the ingame resolution to 1440x900. It is a pain, and ends up in a streched picture.
I tried to install the latest intel drivers from their website (not sure if it would have fixed the issue, since there was no changelog) but it gave me an error saying they were not verified for my device.
This is a rather frustrating issue, especially considering that every computer I have ever owned up until this point has been able to scale the image to fit the screen with no problems what so ever.
