Hello and my first post in here and BIOS mods.
This older board MSI 880gm-E41 is too cryptic for me to understand. Initially I had the error of not using
a thumb drive in FAT32. I now have that.
Major Geeks has a Universlal Bios Backup freeware. I ran that and it seemed to go ok
There are 8 BIOS upgrades for this MSI board. I selected to download the one immediately
follwoing what is on the board and I've not done the procedure before.
Errors appear at the old style MSI 880 BIOS screen. And there are instructions as to when to
insert or remove the FAT32 pen drive. Also something about renaming conventions and
an obscure file type. I have seen the text file that downloads with the selected BIOS download.
There's just not enough to follow on the M-Flash single screen to proceed.
After all the time passed since this board was new, perhaps someone with the same
motherboard then or now can give a complete procedure.
My feeling has been that thare's a manual page missing from the whole operation.
There is nothing in the user guide I have about any of it.
The 880gm board works fine. I'm hoping for efficiencies for using an SSD and perhaps
more memory.
