Are these Errors when I Boot?

Hehe well said, what are the chances of it actually fixing my issue? As a general guess, as u obviously cant know

And also will that BIOS definately work or is there something I should do to make absolutely sure its the right one?

You won't know until you try.

If it doesn't fix it then at least one thing is ruled out.

If your motherboard is the MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) then it's the right one.
 
If you have another flash drive, using M-Flash, you can backup your BIOS and restore it from there if anything does go wrong. You might be able to do it from the same one, however, I do not know for sure.

Seriously though, the chances of anything going bad are next to nil. The actual update progress should only take a couple of minutes.
 
Ok so, if my pen drive is drive K should the stuff be in
K://
or
K://7681vN1

Meaning should I drag the folder in the zip, or just the individual files to the pen drive
 
You're really dragging this out ;)

Don't put the file in a folder on the memory stick.

It will be easiest if you copy it straight to the root of the memory stick like I said so K://
 
Sorry I jus dont wanna mess it up =/ Its my first build so I am still learning, ty for baring with me

Ok so do I need both these files
E7681IMS.N10
and
AFUDE238.exe

I mean, if it hadnt cost a lot of money and I could jus go and get another one easily, I would jus be like, meh well I guess I will find out, but sadly that isnt the case =/

And flashing from version 1.1 or something as it currently is to version 23.1 in one go isnt likely to cause problems?

You only need E7681IMS.N10

M-Flash will overwite the current BIOS with the contents of that file.

It doesn't make any difference if you're flashing from version 1 to version 2 or version 1 to version 1,000.
 
Geez I still havent got the courage up, facepalm

But I am thinking I should wait till Wednesday, cos I got aload of work to get done for tuesday, and I am at uni all day tuesday lol. I will get too distracted if it works or doesnt work

Anyhow, I can confirm the mobo manual and box, say Z68A-GD65 (G3), So I guess that means the BIOS you showed me are DEFINATELY the right ones

It's your system so take as much time as you want.

The page I linked to for the BIOS is absolutely, definately, positively and without doubt the correct one.

When you do eventually get around to flashing the BIOS I would check the page again. There will probably have been several more revisions released by then ;)
 
Hehe thanks mate your a legend

Anyhow, yea there probably will be a lot more, they have that many releases already, and I believe that mobo is relatively new, too bad it had to get to me with such an old BIOS =/.

I do have one question tho, could something wrong with the HDD cause the error that I am going to do the flash to try and repair? Because I do get a message at startup saying HDD is not detected, even though it is there and correctly wired because I have windows installed on it =/
 
I'm sure someone will give you a more informed answer to this, but on many motherboards I've had, the bios gives the statement about HDD not found then goes on to boot fine. I think it's a setting in the bios, boot priority coinfig or something. Anyway, I wouldn't worry unless your hdd really isn't found at all.
 
From what I can see of your spec. you're only using a HDD, no SSD.

Ensure the HDD is connected to one of the Intel SATA ports and that it's selected as the first boot device in the BIOS.

 
Yea it is, the Disc Drive and HDD are both in that SATA 3, I guess it cant be the HDD that is causing the BIOS not to load anyhow, I mean it boots into Windows fine I can save files on it and everything, I dno if this could be linked in anyway to the BIOS needing a CMOS reset every time to get into it

HDD is here:

Only thing I wonder on that pic is what the socket to the right of the white SATA connector is

Thanks

I think it must be that I need to do a BIOS flash
