Z68A-GD65 BIOS Update Issue
I am trying to install a R290X and I know I have to update the BIOS to an Ivy bridge code. I downloaded the official MSI BIOS update tool from the boards as well as the latest BIOS. I created a thumb drive with the BIOS and when I go to flash the BIOS I get an error (see attachment). Any clue how to fix it? I tried to find something about switching to the second BIOS so I could download it from UEFI to the flash drive to reflash primary BIOS but no dice.
what is your current BIOS version?
and have you tried the card with it anyway?
and which one BIOS you are trying to flash? 25.8 or...?
if your current BIOS is for SB, then you need a special archive to be able to switch to IB BIOS

MSI p55-gd65 1.8 bios update issue
Here we go:
So I prompted myself to update my p55-gd65 bios from...either 1.6 or 1.7? to 1.8 I used the LiveUpdate Online feature on MSI's website. Seemed to be fine after until my computer sometimes froze while watching streaming flash videos.
I thought it was caused by an outdate video driver so I updated it, either before or after the video update (can't remember) I shut down and reset the CMOS settings (took out the battery for +30sec), still froze.
Decided to Update the Intel 3/4/5 Chipset v9.1.1 provided by MSI, completely wiped the video driver, reinstalled it, still froze. Wiped adobe flash player and cache from firefox, reinstalled flash...still froze.
I noticed too late that the LiveUpdate requires 32bit Win7. and that the manual DL for the bios update I tried installing popped up with an OS incompatibility error. Does v1.8 not support 64bit? or would it have been better for me to flash the bios update?
Thanks for any help!Quote from: Henry on 24-June-10, 06:30:57
Can you post a screenshot of CPU-Z 'Memory' & 'SPD' tabs? I don't know on the P55 MB's but on both of mine that RAM runs perfect out of the box on Auto setting in BIOS at 1333, 9, 9, 9, 24, 1T @ 1.47V. Of course CPU-Z will show 1.5V for it.

MSI Z68A-GD65 G3 - Performance Issue
Hi Sir
Good Day!
I had bought this new system for a week ago as follows :-
MSI Z68A-GD65 G3
Intel Core I7 2600k
TeamElite DDR3 2133 PC3-10700 8GB 2x4GB

Win 7 64 ULTIMATE
Asus DVD writer
Cool Master CM690 Advance II
Enermax 500W
Logitech K520.00
It having some performance issue after i updated the bios to new version n.30, before this was original version 23.0 come with motherboard.
I updated the bios using msi live update on yesterday.
What i noticed after updating to new bios, i can feel the performance had drop, when lauching a program, and sometime when typing webpages address or in the google typing word, what happen was the word seem to appearing slow to display. Not sure what happen.
I hope you guys can help me out, and please advise me what to do.
Looking forward to hear from you soon.
RajaIf the system was working, why did you update the BIOS ?
If the previous BIOS worked for you, then flash back to that BIOS. Use the forum flasher >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
Once you have flashed the BIOS do a CMOS clear. >>Clear CMOS Guide<< -
I have a PC, running XP Pro SP3, which was built for me nigh on 9 years ago.
Motherboard: MSI-6712 (KT4V-L) Version 1.0 (North Bridge KT400A Rev 80, South Bridge VT8235 Rev 00)
CPU: AMD XP2800+ CPU (Socket A 462, 3000 MHz)
Memory: 1.0GB DDR
GPU: nVidia GeForce FX-5200 (128 MB)
About 4 years back I considered updating the BIOS, but the MS LiveUpdate utility (v 3.5 I think it was) no longer worked (wrong URL). Tried updating it, but the update (can’t remember the version) shut down my system whenever I tried to use it. So I rolled back and left it.
Recently, a program I was evaluating (running on .Net 4 Client Profile) caused my PC to freeze up and after uninstalling I discovered all manner of problems with USB peripherals (recognition and auto-play issues).
Tried to restore a backup (Retrospect Express HD) from a Maxtor One Touch III external drive but it wasn’t having it, presumably because of the drive recognition issues, and a straight System Restore wouldn’t complete (because XP would freeze at log off).
I feared there had been hardware damage, but decided to try a clean re-install of XP Pro. The person who built the PC had left a folder of system set up files (VIA chipset 4in1, LAN, RealTek AC97, nVidia drivers, utilities etc) on the hard drive (which I backed up) but when it came to installing XP, I couldn’t figure out which chipset drivers to install, as there were multiple versions (presumably for his purposes). So I let XP install the default windows drivers and then replaced them with the latest VIA 4in1 set for the KT4V-L from the MSI download page (can’t post link) – driver version 5.11a, release 20.4.2007
Seemed to go well, but it was suggested to me that it might be a good time to update the BIOS. So I installed MSI Live Update 5 and ran a scan. Strange thing is that an automatic scan (which pulls up just the nVidia driver and utilities) reports that none are installed and a manual scan reports that the BIOS, Drivers and Utilities are the latest version and no there is need to update. How can that be? I’ve never updated the BIOS and the only other utility I re-installed is PC Alert 5.
Yet when I run a SIW (System Information for Windows) scan and it reports the following:

How is it that Live Update 5 doesn’t pick this up?
So, apologies for the convoluted post (thought it best to explain the events leading to this), but what to do?
1. Do I need to update the BIOS, given that it has never been done and I now have the latest VIA 4in1 drivers installed?
2. Why is Live Update 5 not reporting the status correctly and is there anything I can do to correct this.
3. Otherwise, if a BIOS update, is warranted, should I go ahead and download directly from the Global MSI webpage and then which version? (can’t post link). I note from the version descriptions that it was v1.7 (26/12/2002) that added support for AMD XP 2800. Strange then that the guy who put together my PC, would not have updated the BIOS from v1.0 to 1.7 at that time!!
4. Should I also update the nVidia driver, and if so, when? Before or after a BIOS update or is that irrelevant?

5. One other thing that concerns me is that the SIW scan reports that the BIOS is reporting wrong values for the DDR memory. What’s that about?

http://www.windowsbbs.com/pc-hardware/89688-need-ram-recommendations-msi-kt4v-l-2.html#post493343
According to the poster (Post #30), the KT4V-L can support 3gB DDR400.
I looked at the MB in my PC and it is in fact stamped MS-6712 KT4AV v10A (assumed 1.0A ). Both CPU-Z and SIW report it as a MS-6712 v1.0 (BIOS 07.00T 04/02/01, Firmware 101.114)
According to the MSI product webpage, the only difference between the KT4AV and KT4AV_L is that the latter includes an (optional) on-board 10/100 LAN.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4AV.html#/?div=Detail
The ethernet port on my PC is (as described in Device Manager) is a Via Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter, whereas in the listed MSI specifications, the optional 10/100 LAN is stated to be a VIA VT6103 LAN controller. So possibly then I was mistaken in assuming that my MB is a KT4AV-L.
Even so, if the statement about the KT4AV-L supporting 3gB DDR400 is true, surely this also applies to the KT4AV ?
Looking at the available BIOS updates on the MSI page, I can see no mention of an upgrade in DDR400 capacity:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4AV.html#/?div=BIOS
Edit: Ah, the guy in the post specifically refers to a KT4V-L v1.1 not KT4AV-L and I see that it is different product:
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/KT4V---KT4V-L--v1-0-.html#/?div=Detail
What's confusing is that they all designated as MS-6712. So if anyone, like me, does a look up under MS-6712 they could pull up either version, and since the KT4AV/L and KT4V/L have different BIOS update series, I can see how someone could easily flash the wrong BIOS.
That aside, the memory specifications for the KT4V/L are essentially the same as those in the User Guide that came with my KT4AV:
Supports up to 3GB PC1600/2100/2700/3200* DDR SDRAMs
*See Glossary for recommended DDR400 modules - with the largest listed module capacity being 2 x 512MB
So where does this "up to 3GB DDR400 capacity" notion come from. I'd really want to believe it. And if the guy in the PC shop is to be believed, I'd settle for just 2GB.
Edit 2: Oh, boy, so there is a separate product listing for the KT4V-L v1.1:
http://us.msi.com/product/mb/KT4V-L--v1-1-.html#/?div=Detail
Yet, the memory specifications appear to be the same as those for the other MS-6712 versions and BIOS updates are the same as those for the KT4AV-L (very confusing). In fact the downloadable User Guide is the same - 'KT4AV MS-6712 (v1.X) ATX Motherboard'.
Am I missing something here? -
Hi
I recently flashed my BIOS (going from 1.26 -> 1.31) prior to installing Windows 7 x64 on a new SSD on my X220. The BIOS update seemed to work OK (I used the lenovo Windows utility to do it), but now I can't save any changes to any BIOS settings. I also cannot reset to defaults - I can't even select some options in the BIOS (e.g. anything to do with UEFI) - the cursor just skips over the lines on screen - and those I can select don't respond to any changes I try to make. I don't get any errors either in BIOS or in Windows, and my X220 boots OK, but obviously there's something wrong there.
After updating the BIOS, I installed the SSD (a Samsung 830) and installed Windows on it - all this worked OK although I was planning to switch to UEFI for the new install and couldn't do so because the BIOS is now uneditable. Everything in Windows seems to work OK.
I've tried re-running the BIOS utility but it reports that the BIOS is up to date and it won't re-apply the current update.
I've checked to see if anyone else has reported this issue here, and found a few reports with similar issues but different situations (e.g. people running Linux rather than Windows, or Wifi not working after the update) - but not this issue exactly.
I'm wondering if this will fix itself when a new BIOS version is released and applied - if that's likely, I'm happy to wait until then (so long as nothing breaks in the meantime). I'd rather do that than pull the CMOS battery (which has been recommended on a few similar threads on here) - but given that the BIOS seems to now be frozen on my machine I'm not sure if future updates will even work.
Has anyone else seen this issue?Hi
Welcome To Lenovo Community
Please try updating the Bios using bios.bak file which is created during bios update .
You need to locate the bios file folder on c drive , then find bios.bak rename it with FLASHABLNew.ROM
And click on winplash.exe , use Browse option to " Specify new Bios file " and select FLASHABLNew.ROM
Then click on flash bios , it will flash a message that the bios you are trying to update is older than current version , Press Yes to continue
Press Yes , If every thing goes well , your system will restart and you will have your old bios were you can modify or change any option
Now delete the folder which has the latest bios
Download the latest bios and try to flash to check if you are able to modify or change any option under Bios
Hope This Helps
Cheers!!!

Help! Bios+ME Z87-GD65 Bios update will not work
Hey everyone,
I'm having an issue, trying to update the bios. I'm currently on 1.3 and trying to update to 1.B to no success.
I have run live update 6.11 which found the new bios and went to install, but because i run win7x64 it looks for Intel Management engine driver which is not available for the board, as it appears, as its installing the Intel ME driver it comes up saying my PC doesn't meet the requirements, assuming that because of x64 OS. ((OR ITS TOO AWESOME)) So No bios update..
So i then used the files i downloaded from MSI website for BIOS 1.B, go to m-flash in the bios, follow the prompts for "bios flash with ME" and FROZEN!
Nothing happens and if i didn't knock the mouse i wouldn't have realized for some time.. No progress bar no anything, frozen screen, so i hit RESET ! Try again... nothing... Same ...
Any help would be appreciated.Quote from: south.aussie on 17-December-14, 14:14:36

For me, I don't use the live update to update my BIO, I followed this guide and it work wonder, its also EASY and simple. Make sure you READ and follow the directions.

"BIOS ME update....file not found " since a P67A-GD65 bios update failed
Hi everyone,
I've decided to post this little message after looking for a solution over the web and over the MSI forum because I've got a problem since the BIOS update of my P67A-GD65 MB.
I've followed the update process for the 4.32 BIOS using an USB key, the update started but did not continue after reboot, and since My PC is out of order
The "BIOS ME update....file not found " message is displayed after lots of booting tries, using plenty of methods.
I've looked and tried all the techniques I could find over the web, I've tried :
-PC with and without SATA drives connected
-the last 4 versions of the bios found on-line, even the original version of my MB before updating (1.19)
-4 different usb keys (from 128 Mb to 4 GB)
-all front and back usb ports
Each time, on each usb key, there were several bios versions, even one renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM for testing the recovery method.
I've also tried to make the keys bootable by using the “MSIHQ USB Bootable” tool with the 1.19 bios (after the boot fix), the usb key appears in the F11 boot menu but when I select it, the PC boots but still shows me the "BIOS ME update....file not found " message.
I've also tried a clear CMOS with several power off.
I've also tried to burn a CD containing only a AMIBOOT.ROM file, and to boot on it, but same problem occurs.
In brief, it seems that my PC does not recognize my Key's content, whatever it is.
I've you got an idea to help me ?
Last precision, the update process that failed was using the 4.3 bios version, but my CPU is a not an IvyBridge .
thanks for your helpHI
I've tried with your file , that's better but not solved
the "BIOS ME update....file not found" has gone but my bios is still inacessible.
I put the usb key (with the decompressed file) and the PC starts, displays the MSI boot logo, and then shows a message for hitting F1 or F2 bla bla bla...
Whatever the key that has been hit (F1 or F2, and only the first time), the pc boots again and again after displaying the boot logo, followed by a 30 seconds black screen.
If I remove the key, I've got a message that says I have to put a key on an usb port, and when I put back the usb key , the PC starts to boot again and again.
Once again , I'm stuck.
thanks for your help -
(P67A-GD65) BIOS update worked but now ACPI dead?
Hi guys, anyone seen this before?
P67A-GD65(b3) + i5 2500K + G Skill Ripjaws 1600 + MSI GTX560 (all about 1 week old)
Did a successful BIOS update to 1.B (which is what the AU msi site listed as latest BIOS, I now realise that 1.C is out).
Everything seems fine in BIOS but Win7 hangs at "Starting Windows" (regular boot, repair boot, even the install setup boot from disc).
Booting from a Linux cd it hangs at the ACPI part.
System was perfectly stable prior to this (but my mouse didn't work in BIOS and XMP timings didn't seem to be applied, hence the update).
BIOS update was done using forum USB tool. CMOS has definitely been cleared.
Any suggestions? I am probably going to try updating to BIOS 1.C but since I don't have a working PC now (posting this from our iMac) I will have to go use a friend's PC to run the USB tool and create the BIOS update stick.
ThanksQuote from: HU16E on 26-June-11, 12:17:16
For a short term test, raise DRAM V. manually to the maximum 1.65v's, set CPU V-Droop to low, phase control from SVID to APS.
I did try a raised DRAM V at one point (to no success), but didn't touch phase control so could try that too.
I have found one single way to make it load windows - by flashing 1.C directly from the "M-flash" page of the BIOS itself
The on the reset directly following the update it will then boot windows correctly.
This first happened this afternoon and I rejoiced and then shutdown to reconnect all the devices that had been unplugged during diagnosis ... then when I went to boot up again ... hung ... again
Tried to get all scientific by trying voltage settings and unplugging case fans, etc ... nothing work so I gave up, did something (theoretically) foolish and tried the M-flash page in BIOS again. Re-flashed v1.C again and once again it booted into windows
Starting to think along the lines of RMA here ... this can't be normal. -
I've got two N770 TF 2GD5/OC's.
I ran Live Update and it suggested a BIOS update to NV282MH.301. I'm not very BIOS savvy, so stupididly I said ok, everything went smooth and computer restarted. My issue now is when I have SLI on and a game in full screen it shows what its supposed to but with constant quick flickers. This doesn't exist when SLI isn't on, and I have swapped the cards and pinpointed it strictly to SLI.
I have no idea what to do and don't want to mess with the BIOS unless I have some help. What do I do!?Oki

The BIOS version is NV282MH.301 for BOTH cards. I'm sure my problem is 1 is incorrect for one of my cards as to they were purchased at slightly different times. If you come to the conclusion that this is true (I did find you answer someone else with ROM's to install) and you give me ROM's I need a little explanation as to how I install them.
after checking, yes the 1st card has the wrong BIOS installed

This don't apply for your case, because bios images there are not for your card either.

BIOS updating issue on Satellite 3000 -X11
Hello,
I found a lot of people complaining of this same issue.
I found no solution posted. Most threads (now locked) ended with people saying "Don't update your bios if it is running okay"
This computer is not running okay and I would like to update the BIOS.
The issue is that the bios update says it failed due to the update not being for this model of computer.
The laptop is a Satellite 3000-X11. I have downloaded the v1.6 BIOS update for the Satellite 3000-X11
So I am not sure why it makes this complaint.
Please advise if there is something more I can do here.
Also please know the BIOS update procedure I followed was exactly per the instructions.
Thanks,
Jonathan(sorry about the name change. Somehow ended up with two profiles when I accessed the forums via a different country site)
As per my original post... the computer does NOT run okay.
That is why I wish to try updating the BIOS.
It has issues with it not starting or starting but with a screen that is so dimmed it looks blank. Looking really hard at it I can see it is not blank, just VERY VERY dim.
I wish to update the BIOS just in case that fixes things.
The BIOS update complains that the PC is not the right model for this update, when it is the right model.
Thanks,

Hello everyone,
I've been using Bios V1.10B1 since it's available. But to be honest I'm not quite pleased with it. I guess it's one of those Beta bioses. Having some stability issues with my RAM modules or something which I didn't have at v1.5. I had a random freeze since I did the update and also today the PC was rebooted while loading the windows 8.1. Then it booted fine. I'm not sure what cause this but I'm suspecting it's the bios.
Anyways. Now I'm planning to do another BIOS update. But the latest BIOS versions on the official page and the forum flash tool page (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=169827.0) are different. Which one is the most stable and the official one? I don't want to hit another beta bios. The flashing process is stressful enough. :PI finally managed to finish the BIOS Update by using the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher with the attached archive 1A0.rar and all that seems to have changed within the BIOS were under System Information in „Settings\System Status“: (1.) CPUID/MicroCode has changed from 306c3/17 to 306c3/19, (2.) BIOS Version from E7845IMS V1.9 to E7845IMS V1.10, (3.) Built Date from 02/21/2014 to 06/04/2014 and (4.) that all settings except date & time were set back to defaults. I never thought that a BIOS update can take so long and be so complicated, but maybe this is only an indication that I am not a professional BIOS updater or/and that something went wrong.
Since the MSIHQ USB Bootable Tool came as an installer only, I had to take an image of my Windows-System first and restore it after the BIOS update in order to avoid a permanent entry in the Control Panel under Programs. When I used the HP-Tool HPUSBFW_v2.2.3.exe for formatting the USB-Stick (4GB) the MSIHQ Forum USB flasher would install to it, but it was ignored by the BIOS under Boot Option #1 as if it wasn’t there, so that I had to use the „Fix my USB key“ choice of MSIHQ. The Memtest86+ seems to go on forever or until hitting ESC to quit this which I did after about almost an hour when 100% Pass was reached without Error and no indication that this test would stop on its own. There was no BACKUP.BIN file created on the USB-Stick as the README.txt indicated in case a BIOS recovery was needed, but I saved the previous BIOS before this Update using M-FLASH. The Clear CMOS Button on the Back Panel is a bit difficult to push, but it is easier than opening the case and finding a fitting jumper for JBAT1. And finally, reinstalling the Intel ME 90 Driver in Windows 7 over an already exixting installation made me a bit uneasy, but my Windows did not crash and there is still only one corresponding entry „Intel Management Engine Components“ under Programs.
The use of M-FLASH was easier and according to the descriptin of this new BIOS v1.10 the M-FLASH function was to be enhanced, which sounds promising to strenghten hopes and nourish spirits for a better future . -
700-410xt bios update issues with sp70148
The HP support Assistant program notified me to install the Bios Update SP70148 Version 80.20Ap1. I have tried to install it many times to no avail. I've even went directly to this support site and downloaded it directly and it still doesn't install properly.
I've tried running it with my Norton 360 AV turned off - It didn't work
I've tried opening the machine in Windows Safe mode and insatlling, and it didn't install
I've checked the Bios version and it says AMI 80.19 7/18/2014
Each time I go to install it, it will ask me if I want to overwrite existing files and I say yes to all
It then opens up a Command Prommpt windows, it does something and than automatically restarts the computer.
Each time I've checked the Bios and it doesn't change.
Can you offer any adviceSame issue here. Have tried allowing the automatic update and also manually updating. Not sure what the problem is. Also, the bios update alert indicates that this is a critical, security related BIOS update. I'm not sure what in the BIOS would relate to system security, but it seems very important and I hope this is resolved soon.

New to the forum and MSI boards.
This happened about a month ago when I was using "Live Updater" (I know, BIG mistake). My system crashed during the update and would not restart afterward. The screen would just go black then the system would restart and sit with a black screen. At the the time I needed my system running and just booted up using BIOS B. Everything worked and is working fine when using BIOS B. So now that I have a little extra time on my hands I decided I would fix the corrupted BIOS, but I'm unable to get the USB drive to boot. I tried the method of booting with the good BIOS and then flipping the switch to the failed one and flashing from the USB drive. It got about 50% and my system reset with the same black screen. My debug is coming up with code 36. Any ideas?

Last week I replaced a defective Z77-GD65 with a new one. Since the first one came without an operational BIOS last August (I fixed that somehow with a BIOS-update on a memory stick, but I can't remember how I did that!) I just assumed the BIOS on the new board would be outdated too. So after a succesful trial boot-up I updated the BIOS (10.8 to 10.10).
After that, I could no longer boot into Windows: soon after starting the OS-boot the system would restart. Back to 10.8 I have had no more trouble. I am thinking the newest BIOS-version is no good.
Are you talking about a Z77 and not a Z87 as listed in the topic title? Did you post in the wrong thread? -
I need to update bios version from 1.10 to 1.58 today, and i download last bios cd iso version labelled j4uj53wd.iso, i burned cd with imgburn and from windows 7 burning software, and cd is booting from bios menu but i saw a message just before Main menu bios... unable to control A20 line xms driver is not installed!.... after this message i get Main menu bios with chooses 1..2..3... and i choose 2 update system program, press Y, red windows error message appear, the system program was not found on the cd. Insert the correct cd in the drive. I tried to different cd burned with two different burning software and the same error coming back all the time. I really need to update bios because i have some LAN PXE boot failed and other littles bugs to fix. I think that no rom file inside the update file iso, and no XMS driver (a20 control line!) present causing error update file was not found on cd.
Thanks to help me and bring a fast correction.

Solved!
Go to Solution.Things to try:
1. go into BIOS setup
2. go the Security menu -> Secure Boot and make sure secure boot is disabled
3. go to the Startup menu, change the option for "UEFI/Legacy Boot" to "Legacy only"
4. press f10 to save and exit
Does the BIOS update CD work now?
If not, try changing step 3 to set "UEFI only" and retry -

BIOS Recovery Feature
For AMI BIOS
1. Rename the desired AMI BIOS file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it on a floppy disk. e.g. Rename A569MS23.ROM to AMIBOOT.ROM
2. Insert this floppy disk in the floppy drive. Turn On the system and press and hold Ctrl-Home to force update. It will read the AMIBOOT.ROM file and recover the BIOS from the A drive.
3. When 4 beeps are heard you may remove the floppy disk and restart the computer.

may you please advice AMI BIOS Ver. or release # to use? as the most appropriate to use to recover the BIOS available download is ver. 1.1 to ver. 1.9.There is no release 1.0. Your advice is most welcome!
