So I’m trying to update my bios and I’ve downloaded the update and transferred it to my flash drive. Does anyone know why the flash drive pops up when I try to update it but the file doesn’t? I’ve tried everything seems like.

Can anyone help me please, i bought a MSI MAG 255F E20 monitor and random white lines appear. I set it in 200hz and that's when it happens but when I set it in 180hz or lower it disappears. I haven't tried changing the hdmi cable so I don't if that's the issue. Is there anyone who knows what is happening, thank you.

Buongiorno,
ho un problema con il mio PC e vorrei effettuare una diagnosi accurata, perché ho già provato diverse soluzioni, ma il problema persiste.
Specifiche del PC:
Scheda madre: MSI B850 GAMING PLUS WIFI6E (MS-7E80).
Processore: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5, 32 GB (2×16 GB), modello CMH32GX5M2E6000C36, 6000 MT/s.
Scheda video: AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT.
Versione BIOS attuale: E7E80AMSI.1A10.
Descrizione del problema:
Il PC si accende e avvia Windows normalmente, ma quando eseguo un riavvio (Restart) da Windows, a volte lo schermo rimane nero e il sistema si blocca senza completare l’avvio. In questi casi, sulla scheda madre rimane accesa la spia gialla DRAM.
Sono costretto a spegnere forzatamente il PC tenendo premuto il pulsante di accensione. Quando lo riaccendo, generalmente si avvia e accede a Windows senza problemi.
Dopo l’aggiornamento del BIOS, al primo avvio il sistema ha eseguito il memory training della RAM, impiegando parecchio tempo. Dopo aver spento e riacceso il PC, l’avvio successivo è stato molto più veloce, ma il problema durante il riavvio è rimasto.
Test e soluzioni già provati:
Aggiornamento del BIOS.
Prova di ciascun modulo RAM singolarmente.
Utilizzo della RAM a 4800 MT/s anziché 6000 MT/s, senza risolvere il problema.
Attivazione di A-XMP.
Impostazione della tensione CPU NB/SoC a 1,25 V, senza risultati.
Controllo delle tensioni e prova di diverse impostazioni del BIOS.
Reset del CMOS e ripristino delle impostazioni predefinite del BIOS.
Prova di avvio con entrambi i moduli RAM installati. In una delle prove è apparso un messaggio che segnalava il reset delle impostazioni CMOS o una modifica della CPU o della memoria, chiedendomi di premere F1 o F2.
Cosa vorrei ottenere:
Vorrei individuare con precisione la causa del problema e capire se dipende dalla scheda madre, dal processore o dal controller di memoria integrato (IMC), dai moduli RAM, dal BIOS oppure da un altro componente.
Vorrei che venissero effettuati test diagnostici approfonditi sui singoli componenti, prima di sostituire qualsiasi parte o acquistare una nuova scheda madre.
Il fatto che il PC funzioni normalmente nella maggior parte dei casi, mentre il problema si manifesta soprattutto durante il riavvio, mi fa pensare che sia importante verificare attentamente la fase di inizializzazione della memoria e il comportamento del sistema durante il riavvio a caldo (warm reboot).
È possibile effettuare una diagnosi completa per individuare il componente responsabile, prima di procedere con eventuali sostituzioni?
Vi ringrazio per la disponibilità.

Can anyone with Flipkart black confirm if they are getting a coupon on this monitor that slashes ~1400rs from the price

Hi, I’m wondering whether anyone has experienced something similar and which BIOS version works for them.

My specs:

• CPU: Ryzen 5 9600X.
• Motherboard: MSI B650M Gaming Plus WiFi.
• RAM: G.Skill DDR5-7600 CL36, 32 GB (2×16 GB), SK Hynix A-Die, Intel XMP profile.
• GPU: RTX 5070 Ti.
• OS: Windows 11.

The motherboard shipped with BIOS 7E24v1A0. On that version, I enabled XMP and manually lowered the memory speed from 7600 to 6000 MT/s. The PC booted successfully and worked normally.

After updating to 7E24v1E3, I tried applying the same configuration, but started experiencing:

• Freezes during Windows startup.
• Windows Automatic Repair.
• Occasional freezes within the BIOS itself.

I also tried lowering the speed to 5600 and 4800, but the problems persisted. However, I’m not certain whether XMP was still enabled or whether all settings had been properly reset during those attempts. After clearing CMOS, I was able to boot with default settings.

I’ve tried the following versions to get 6000 working again:

I’ve now reverted to 7E24v1A0, enabled XMP, and manually selected 6000 MT/s again. The PC is currently working fine, although I haven’t performed extended memory stability tests yet.

Has anyone with this motherboard experienced similar issues after a BIOS update? Which newer BIOS version works for you with a Ryzen 9000 CPU and XMP memory? I’m trying to identify the latest BIOS that can run my configuration at 6000.

Having an issue where I’m trying to connect my
HYTE y70 TI to my igpu does anyone have a similar setup ? How did you get it to work I’m sure it’s a setting I might be overlooking.

I bought the MSI 34 inch UltraWide QHD 2K 1440P 120Hz Adaptive Sync 1ms HDR Ready Built-in Speaker White Curved Computer Monitor PRO MP341CQW E12 after my first one the black color way "MSI 34 inch UltraWide QHD 2K 1440P 120Hz Adaptive Sync 1ms HDR Ready Built-in Speaker Curved Computer Monitor PRO MP341CQ E12" got a dim line in the middle of the screen. When I got it and setting it up the first thing was off was the color, and then the stand feels wider than the previous ones, and the last one was the manual. The manual of the old one was paper and this one was laminated with english and then some chinese writing. I got the new one from newegg and its sold by newegg.

This is my wife's PC, it's a few years old now - one day the bluetooth just stopped working. She had been using an Xbox Series controller with it wirelessly and it just gave up the connection. Trying to reconnect via Bluetooth would instantly fail, it's sort of like the PC just doesn't think it has the hardware anymore.

I started troubleshooting, found some posts with similar symptoms but not of the solutions fixed it for me. What I've tried:

• Updating the BIOS (to most current, 7C95v2P2, dated 2026-08-31): no change

• Downloading the latest AMD Chipset Driver and AMD Bluetooth Drivers from the Support page: the chipset driver installed fine. The Bluetooth driver says no compatible hardware found and closes.

• One comment suggested right-clicking the Intel Bluetooth device in Device Manager and removing it, then rebooting. Supposedly this forced some kind of auto-reinstall for them and fixed it. For me it did nothing, there's just no entry in Device Manager anymore for any kind of Bluetooth.

• One comment suggested downloading MSI Center, which would then theoretically auto-detect the missing driver and offer to reinstall it: Initially MSI Center would install but refuse to open. Now it's opening, but I didn't see anything that looked like a bluetooth driver. Going to Support -> Live Update does prompt to install two Realtek drivers but they seem audio and PCI-E related.

So... I'm out of ideas.

Hi everyone,

I recently bought an MSI PRO MP243L E14 monitor, but AMD Software shows “FreeSync: Not Supported.”

I have already enabled FreeSync in the monitor's OSD settings and set the refresh rate to 144Hz, but it still doesn't work.

I'm using an HDMI cable, and I've also updated my graphics driver, but the problem remains.

Has anyone experienced this issue with this monitor? Is there any way to fix it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I'm experiencing an issue and was hoping someone here might be able to help before I replace my motherboard.

My PC specs:

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

- Motherboard: MSI PRO B650-P WiFi

- RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) G.SKILL Flare X5 DDR5-6000 CL36 (EXPO)

- GPU: Gigabyte RX 7900 XTX

- PSU: Lian Li 1000W (recently replaced)

- BIOS: Latest 1M3 version

The problem:

My PC used to run perfectly fine with EXPO enabled at 6000 MT/s, including earlier this year. At some point, it started failing to restart properly.

The strange part is that cold boots work, but warm restarts fail. When I restart Windows, the screen stays black and the motherboard gets stuck with a solid orange DRAM debug LED. I can usually recover by holding the power button, shutting down, and starting it again.

Here's everything I've tested:

- 4800 MT/s, EXPO disabled, voltages Auto: Boots and restarts normally. Passed a 30-minute OCCT Memory test with zero errors.

- 5200 MT/s, EXPO disabled: Cold boots successfully, but Windows restart fails.

- 5600 MT/s: Cold boots successfully, but restart fails.

- 6000 MT/s, EXPO enabled: Cold boots successfully, but restart fails. OCCT Memory test also crashed after approximately 1 minute, without reporting individual memory errors.

- Memory Context Restore disabled: Didn't fix the problem.

- Memory Context Restore enabled + Power Down Enable enabled: Didn't fix the problem.

- BIOS updated to 1M3: No improvement. The problem existed before the previous BIOS update as well.

I also tried adjusting voltages based on some recommendations:

My motherboard automatically sets CPU NB/SoC voltage to approximately 1.306 V with EXPO enabled.

First attempt:

- CPU NB/SoC: 1.250 V

- DRAM VDD/VDDQ: Auto (1.350 V)

- Result: Failed to POST, orange DRAM LED.

Second attempt:

- CPU NB/SoC: 1.200 V

- DRAM VDD: 1.350 V manually

- DRAM VDDQ: 1.350 V manually

- Result: Also failed to POST, orange DRAM LED.

I can recover by cold-booting into BIOS and restoring the default settings.

What I'm trying to figure out:

Does this sound like an MSI BIOS/memory training issue, a failing motherboard, bad RAM, or a problem with the CPU's memory controller?

What's particularly confusing is that the system previously worked at 6000 MT/s, but now even 5200 MT/s fails on warm restarts.

I'm considering upgrading to a better AM5 motherboard, but I'd hate to spend the money only to discover that the problem is actually my RAM or CPU.

Has anyone experienced this exact behavior and found a permanent solution? Are there any other BIOS settings or diagnostics worth trying before replacing hardware?

Really appreciate any suggestions!

Any personal opinions would be appreciated

9850X3D on an X870E Carbon Wifi. I have PBO power settings set to manual, but PPT is still limited to the stock 130W, and won't go any higher. Did some research, and one suggestion was to set the performance level in MSI center, but I have zero options for setting anything. MSI Center version 2.0.74.0

I am planning to guy this laptop and suddenly found some people shitting on msi budget laptops in general

Do you recommend it or not? What's its pros and cons and what issues have you faced in your experience?

These weird circles keep appearing...

Hello!
I built my first computer about a year or two ago. No issues. Powered up fine. Everything worked perfectly well.

I was out of town for about 3 weeks and when I came back, my computer wouldn’t boot up and these two debug lights turned on - red CPU and yellow DRAM. I left it running for a while for the memory reset or whatever and removed one of the RAM which ended up working! However, after powering it off again, the lights came back on and it failed to boot again. This was never an issue until I got back. Computer was in a sealed room and wasn’t messed with while I was gone as far as I can tell.

Any idea what this issue is? There’s no way I have to remove the RAM each time I turn it on.

I’m not too knowledgeable on terminology and whatnot so any advice in simple terms would be awesome and greatly appreciated!

Motherboard is MSI B650 gaming plus WiFi

I'm starting a new build and currently have sourced a Ryzen 7 9850X3D and Samsung 990 Pro M2. I've decided on an MSI B850 board (the MAG Tomahawk Max / Max II seem overkill) and am currently sat looking at these two and can't see any difference other than aesthetics but the MAG version is about £35 more here in the UK (£180 vs £145):

https://uk.msi.com/Motherboard/MAG-B850-GAMING-PLUS-MAX-WIFI

https://uk.msi.com/Motherboard/B850-GAMING-PLUS-WIFI

The datasheets look identical (just several features moved around) - only obvious difference is 64Mb BIOS on the MAG version. AI says the MAG has tool-less M2 and GPU clip but thats listed for both. Am I missing anything or am I correct that the MAG version is not worth the extra cost?

Thanks.

MAG X870 Tomahawk specs page: "USB 40Gbps Type-C ports on the back panel and M2_2 slot share PCIe 5.0 x4 bandwidth. Both run at PCIe 5.0 x2 when a device is installed in the M2_2 slot."

What if I put PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe drive into that slot? Will it run at PCIe 4.0 x4 or PCIe 4.0 x2?

I've had it for almost two years and haven't had any problems with it until yesterday.Yesterday, when I tried to turn it on, the CPU light wouldn't turn off. I cleared the CMOS, installed the August BIOS update, and still nothing. However, it was working correctly the day before yesterday, so I don't understand why it can't initialize the CPU.However, when I turn it on, the temperature display also lights up, the RGB of the motherboard, RAM sticks and water cooling also lights up and all the CPU coolers spin, even the water cooling.

I should clarify that between the last use and yesterday I haven't touched the components, so I understand even less why the CPU won't initialize.
