2. This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:
- Support FSB up to 450MHz.

lots of bioses add support for cpu id's. so i'm guessing that means that the bios can suport the id for the cpu, as in support of the cpu then.

It only supports the E4 stepping on the FX57....is yours E4????? Check CPU-Z please. And when you re-flashed, did you do so from a Dos boot disk or through windows? whichever you did, give the opposite a try.

Sounds good, guess he will have to install old CPU to do the update?

Regardless, Hope it works.

Why? He can boot into windows fine, it's only if he tries to enter the BIOS on startup that he has problems.

My FX-57 is stepping E4, i saw it thru CPU-Z, and I have the latest BIOS wich is V1.D0. I haved flashed the BIOS for the first time using the MSI Utility while I still had the fx-53. He ran fine until I change to the fx-57, after that I found the problem and reflashed it thru dos. The problem is still there... It must have been flashed properly because it ran fine with the fx-53.

Here what I just received from MSI:
"Your motherboard is in our 3rd year PARTS only warranty. We need to charge you $ 45 + 6%tax for the labors. Thanks!"
45$ just to enter bios setup... does anyone have other ideas? I dont think I'm gonna pay almost half the price of the board just for Bios setup...

from reading this,there is only 2 options-

stick with the fx53 or
send the board back to msi

it seems with the new chip in it,it is not going to let you access the bios,you seen to know what your doing and have tried everything possible.unfortunatley you only have the two options above.

I think i'm going to RMA the board, the fx-57 is one hell of a good cpu and I want to use it to its potential. So thanks everyone! For the good thing, I will receive a brand new board! Last thing, sould I keep the cpu installed on the board before shipping it?

I asked them, here's what they told me:

Ok then, should I include the cpu with the board? I could leave it installed on the board for you. And this is a disontinued model, you still have stock of them?

techsupport Sep,26,2007 09:36:43


That would be great if you can ship the CPU with the board to us. We can test the replacement board with your CPU to make sure it is working before ship out the board.

Spend 15Min to try this:
I got a Bios Checksum Error when i tried to install a Mushkin memory module into a mobo which was not compatible with its SPD settings. So i guess it´s a memory problem
Do you have two or more different type memory modules? If yes try to boot with one memory module at a time installed and find out which are working and if they are working combined in different slots. If no then simply install one at a time and boot or change their slots and boot.

Yeah, i tried that too. But even so the two memory modules are the same.
I tried with one stick only and even reset the cmos. Did nothing... Thanks anyway!
I'm going to RMA it tomorrow.

You could sell the board whit the old fx53 and buy a new that works.Or try to change the board to an diffrent one from msi.
