Hey there, could someone please explain to me(in detail please, don't have much experience with this sorta stuff :) so please explain it thoroughly) alright, so the reason i want to flash the bios is because windows cant be installed because of multiple error codes, these are the error codes:''KERNEL MODE HEAP CORRUPTION'', ''SYSTEM THREAD NOT HANDLED'', ''PAGE FAULT IN NON PAGED AREA'', KERNEL SECURITY CHECK FAILURE'', ''BADPOOL HEADER'' and ''DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL''. those are all the error codes i got while trying to install windows. so thought was that maybe installing a fresh bios might fix this. and with 8gb of ram the thing wouldnt even let me get to the installation of windows, it would just stay stuck on the screen included in the files and pressing f11 didn't do anything while that screen was showing and i also wouldnt be able to enter the bios, with 4gb ram i was able to enter the bios though. so i hope flashing the bios will fix these issues, but i dont know how to flash the bios on this motherboard. so could someone please explain it to me?

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards Stefan

Edited: faulty RAM is the cause of those error codes.

If the 4GB lets you install Windows then there's no need for flashing BIOS.

 

The ram isnt faulty, becuse it works fine in my other pc's, and with 4gb  i get those error codes, 8gb wont even let me get to that point\

Well, then motherboard might be.

But with the latest bios for MSI H55M-E23 there is a document within .zip file where is an instruction how to flash that BIOS.

OK, i did not look very thoroughly.

But then there's that - https://storage-asset.msi.com/file/pdf/How_to_flash_the_BIOS.pdf

But your motherboard might not have UEFI BIOS.

 

Basically you have to get to command line with bootable media, even Windows install media has the option to get  to command line. In the command line just type "AFUD4310" and there should be information what command line arguments to use.

ok, so, and how do i make the usb bootable?

 

Here's a guide:

https://www.geforce.com/whats-new/guides/how-to-update-your-motherboard-bios-using-a-simple-usb-stick
Rufus 

But instead of “bupdater” or “afudos” or “awdflash.” use the AFUD4310 command with A7636IMS.H40 argument most likely. But the actual command you get with command - AFUD4310 /?

Bad sentence, english not being my native language.

When booted to command line just locate the folder where contents of 7636vH4.zip are and type in 

AFUD4310 /?

 

That should give more info which command line arguments are needed.

Just type dir and see if files are in the C directory, if not type 

 D:

and after that - dir

just to find out where files are. 

After youve found them, just  

AFUD4310 /?

by removing the battery right and leaving it out for 10 minutes right?

 

That or use a jumper methiod if you know which jumper to move. I don't have the manual for that motherboard.

JBAT1:

http://www.manualsdir.com/manuals/467136/msi-h55m-e21-h55m-e23.html?page=18

just could place the jumper from left two pins to right two pins and back - takes a few seconds, instead of minutes.
