PowerSpec BIOS Requests and Questions - AMD

What happened to the Device drivers for Win10, that Microsnot has removed from Windows Update ???

It seems that since MS removed Windows Subsystem for Android (WSA) in Jul 25, they have been systematically removing key W10 drivers, in an attempt to force people into W11.

The MicroStar (MSI) motherboard came out well before the W10 End of Support, so what happened to the WiFi-7, USB4, and other drivers from when the MSI MAG Tomahawk X870E that was initially released ?

And at a minimum, the 7E59 also supports:

WiFi 4 (802.11n)

WiFi 5 (802.11ac)

WiFi 6 (802.11ax)

WiFi 6E (802.11ax)

And thank you for the BIOS update. No issues to date after flashing.

Hello,

I bought a new PowerSpec 758 prebuilt last month. I am getting game crashes in most games. In another game i'd get a black screen for a good 5 seconds but it recovers and game doesn't crash. Sometimes it happens right away, sometimes an hour or two playing games. At the time of crashes event viewer shows mainly many Event ID 153(resetting TDR), sometimes ID 14 and ID 13

I've tried:

DDU wipe + clean install several different nvidia drivers including the lastest one

Turned off all overlays

Turned off Hardware accelerated GPU scheduling

Set power management to maximum performance

Tried stock clock and undervolt with msi afterburner

Tried setting gpu slot setting from auto to gen 5/4/3 in BIOS

Tried disabling EXPO in bios

Disabling NVIDIA audio and sound driver in device manager

I've tried lower refresh rates on monitor

I've tried capping my FPS to 144. I've tried lower graphic settings in game

I play ranked/competitive. At this point system stability matters way more to me than FPS. I still have my old rig with 3070, intel CPU, and windows 10 that never gave me game crashes. I'm thinking of just doing a return. My friend bought the same spec and has no crashes/problems on his PC.

@MrBojangles

You've been pretty thorough. Very likely we need to swap the GPU.

Got a G914 yesterday and cannot load the A03 update. The flash utility sees A02 on disk but not A03. Any suggestions?

@JulyPalace

Make sure you're in the advanced flash mode and that the file is extracted from the zip folder.

@PowerSpec_MikeW

Thanks for the follow up. How do I get into advanced flash mode?

I'm selecting m-flash from the main Bios page. Strange thing is once it goes into flash mode it see's the A02 update zip & file but not the A03 (neither zip or file). I downloaded both versions for testing though system already has A02.

E7E59AM70 (1)_1 is the zip file downloaded from the G914 product page.

@JulyPalace

From the BIOS Control + Alt + T.

Finally figured it out. I renamed the downloaded file from E7E59AM70 (1).2A03 to E7E59AM70.2A03 and it updated without issue using the standard M-Flash button from the Bios home page.

My mistake, fixed the name and uploaded it again.

@PowerSpec_MikeW Thanks!

New Here and recently bought one of the last G914 at the Phoenix store.

I am curious if you have optimized settings that you all use for setup in bios for that for decent performance? I have updated the bios to 7E59v2A91 and unfortunately had wiped out the settings when doing so. It also seemed to be unstable with that bios version so reverted back to 7E59v2A90. Would there be any benefit of the 2A95 version out? Thanks!

@PapaBearAZ

I don't see any benefit the system as configured with the latest BIOS. Performance wise, we're just enabling XMP/EXPO.
