MSI GT73VR BIOS: unlock, mod, factory restore, clear CMOS and prevent common issues

Thank you for this, very informative. It was also suggested to me that I use this guide here: https://www.win-raid.com/t4175f16-GUIDE-Flash-BIOS-with-CH-A-programmer.html for fixing such issues in the future. Is what you are suggesting of a similar method or is it something with difference purpose?

The laptop was sent for repair and I am still trying to organize around this issue before I start getting into reading and understanding such technical guides as I admittedly lack the required knowledge for such matters.

 

Please also check out Dediprog SF100 and their software solution.

 

Thank you for taking the time sharing this information, I will look it up.

 

Hello,
on the beginning of this thread, i noticed about:
"2.2 - CREATING BOOTABLE PENDRIVE WITH RU"

Is it possibel, that this - the usage of this tool is ONLY for:
EFI / UEFI ?????
Therefore, even ONLY for x64 systems?
Because, i ma NOT able, to run this tool form USB.

Is there a way - a tool - to do the same on legacy BIOS ?

Regards

 

Can't you change the setting on BIOS to boot from Legacy to UEFI?

Hi,

No - I don't have a notebook with UEFI support.

Does that mean, that i can't use this tool ?

 

Ok but what exact model is your computer?

 

Toughbook CF-31 mk1

 

It might work: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/fo...-install-to-disk-tried-diskpart-but-not-help/

 

I'm not sure RU is compatible with that. Maybe contact the developer.

 

Hello,
I would like to disable the integrated graphics on the MSI GE72VR 7RE laptop
motherboard MS-16BJ1 Rev 1.0
is there such an option?

 

i have a laptop hp 2072la,but uefi no find out pendrive just in legacy mode,some suggestion?

have F.2A Rev.A bios

 

Hello guys, I have a gt73vr 6re and I installed 128GB RAM (4x32GB). When I enter bios it recognizes correctly all 4 sticks with 32GB but when I enter windows on system information it says 128GB (64GB usable). So only half ram is usable. Is this a limitation from BIOS? is there anything that can be done through the unlocking/modding ?
thanks

 

i thought that gt73vr has option only up to 64gb ram I dt think that 128gb will be working. But idea to put 128gb is interesting.

 

Exactly, specced at DDR4, 4 Slots, Max 64GB. Only from GT76 9th and up 128 GB.

 

So there is no way through bios modding to unlock this limit? It is strange because BIOS recognizes all four 32GB sticks. Only inside the operating system it says 64GB usable.

 

there should be two. A small one and a large one. The small one is wrong. You want the large one.
Once you go to the large one you need to page down (i forgot if its control page down or not) through all the HEXADECIMAL OFFSETS on the left, until you get to the PROPER HEXADECIMAL OFFSET FOR BIOS LOCK.. Example: if yours was 0x8AA , then you would look for 08AA (leading zeros are basically placeholers.

men, i see the 0x8AA on the txt on windows but i can see the variable on the RU software, can't understand what is happening, looking everywhere for the variable but i can't see it

 

men, i see the 0x8AA on the txt on windows but i can see the variable on the RU software, can't understand what is happening, looking everywhere for the variable but i can't see it, can you help me? can't understand why the variable are hidden for me and not other users, i have GT73VR 7RF

 

f2 + L alt + R shift + R ctrl
.,,.this combo key not works for you ??

press in bios this --ADMIN LEVEL

 

kidding?, i need to able the VDD of the RAM and i need to mod the bios for that

 

vdd is fully locked .,in EC think exist similar limit for SA domain
this not help ,.,.,.only lost stability --faster shutdown in heavy load

edit
how much do you want ram speed ??
for 7820hk -- real 2800mhz max
or 2933 - my limit for OEM dual channel 16gb 2x "normal ram"

 

i got already 3100mhz with only 1200mV, if i can program de mod bios i will setup to 1350mV to reach 3600mhz, i wanna run like hell

 

this look good .,,.but CPU / ram --better only in benchmark .,but real cpu memory bandwidth --2800 mem

better way .,,.try MSI forum @Svet --for unlock XMP --1.35V from this create custom OC ?
but any raising for ram -- less space for OC on CPU

edit 100w / 1.265V high current is max for 7820Hk
AVX 2 --best stress for this

112A -max

edit
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/need-help-overclocking-the-msi-gt75vr-7rf.831641/
this is similar for all 7820HK and ram SA autotune is my bench
18-20-20-45 ,.,.2800 long time stable

 

im not any interested in make OC to the CPU, is better to keep the normal frecuencies for a longer life, Ram is different, i wanna reach 3.600mhz but this FAQ dons't works i think i will do it by hardware, i can't see the variables on the RU, this is a FAKE guide men, this memory is great i think, 3100mhz only with 1200mV, when i brake the voltage barrier this will run like hell

 

try XTU bench ,.,.3100 mem --record ?
1590 points is first place on HWBOOT

 

i think all this MOD for bios is crazy risk ,.,,.and zero potential
3100mhz look nice ,,.but stock cpu no need this

 

i really tell you that 3.100mhz is just the begining of the party, this **** will reach 3.600mhz or even more, i will burn this memories, the originals was 2400mhz 32gb

 

look what a Fuel have bought for my laptop GT73 7RF

 

its good .,.,but on MSI exist SHUTDOWN LIMIT
SA domain for this need 1.30V ? --faster shutdown for you // zero potential ,.,.uncore must be raised // +3 must be core

,,.,. or try @Svet on MSI forum for mod
enable --XMP ,.,..,your modules have XMP
my is oem 2400mem

 

here send request
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?forums/private-unofficial-modified-biosses-ec-fw.51/
need unlock VDD or RE-enable XMP

 

the fk XMP profile dosn't works also, it is fustrating, there is some setup that dosn't fit with my new memory and i have black screens all the time, need to setup a custom profile and finally rise de VDD to 1350mV with the Custom BIOS, im fk tired of can't make it by software with this guide, tomorrow i will try by hardware

 

isn't too crazy, with a 10 dollar programmer you can recover the BIOS without any problem, i bought one in amazon today, will come tomorrow, i'll unlock every fk setting on the BIOS for the future

 

did it, thanks

 

only lost SN // and similar ,.,.its not only flash

 

i will flash a BIOS got it from the original BIOS installed and modded, no worries i think

 

this no need ,.,.but why not ..,,.on win-raid is full guide
or here

better unlock -- admin @Svet ,.,.but most time is busy
,..,try luck

but for full performance need only hotkey combo

 

HOT KEY combo is not enough, i have posted where you said, thanks dude, i really didnt know that they make able to open the BIOS, this is new for me and i really cant believe, and how it works?, they give you a full modded BIOS just ready to install???

 

if you reach 3600 memory ,.,.try XTU ??
1590 max on HWBOOT ,,,but not MSI you can handle this ,,.i using 2800// 2933 memory profile ,.,,..,1570 points / 4.5ghz
but real limit -112A for CPU // or EC power --this MAX before shutdown
120A -max but need good pads / temperatures -100W -65C-75C max

 

do you think Svet will answer today in the forum of MSI?

 

day ,.,or two ,.,.,.a lot of user wants mod
lot users get answer ,.,.few users not

my GT is still OEM and limited

 

3.600Mhz will be easy i think, more than that i dont know, would like to disipate the heat of the memories but there is not space for copper blocks

 

wich model you have?

 

http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/custom-bottom-panel-mod-msi-gt73vr.834777/#post-11063612
similar madness ,.,.zero results
still exist EC //notebook limits

 

The GT76 is the GOD of the MSI laptops, im thinking about try update to the new 120hz 4k screen of the gt76, the pin pitch is the same and 40pin, it should work

 

svet will not asnwer today for sure.....

 

I still don't know why you want 3600mhz memory and a slow processor
??

 

bs i have bought the memory already and i want the performance i should have with it

 

mention svet please dude, dont wanna wait till tomorrow

 

7820hk -37GB/s max
so cpu will never use it ,..,idle test or less ram bench
