Fully fixed.

Fixed by you or by MSI?

[The Stilt]

Fully fixed bioses are always made by the manufacturer.

Ok, just had the first bsod since running the orochi-ceg app. Got a system crash starting duke nukem forever, restarted pc and ran orochi again (I have it starting with windows) and all worked fine. Been playing through campaigns on dowII retribution, not a flaw.

Any modified BIOS for Asus M5A87?

I just tried BIOS 0803 (2011-12-14) with no luck. Cleaned CMOS, reinstall the game, reintall drivers etc but nothing.

The Stilt, any chances to create a modified BIOS to M5A87?
Looks like is the last motherboard missing in your modified BIOS list.

M5A87 is using older AMI Core8 based bios which I cannot modify.

Someone reported that running Orochi-CEG fixes the issue even if the bios has a faulty microcode.
This SHOULD NOT work, but I have not tested it personally.

Try it and see what happens.

Stilt, yes your orochi-ceg app solve the problem even with the faulty microcode.
It's definitely a fix for us.

I really appreciate your help.

This utility worked for me as well

FX-8120 + Asus crosshair IV mobo 3027 BIOS

Deus-Ex HR BSOD'd the PC within 3-5 seconds without Orochi, seems perfectly stable for many hours of gametime after running it

Hi,
I have an M5A88-M with an AMD FX-6100 and am getting unplayably bad FPS in Deus Ex HR.
Someone on steam forums pointed me here and it seems the CEG fix is exactly what I'm after.
However, the link to the orochi-ceg was hosted on megaupload and that site is now dead as I'm sure you know.
Can someone please reupload it somewhere else like mediafire?
Thanks,
DryEagle

edit: I'm currently running the 601 version bios. There's an 801 available on the asus website to download, which is newer, but when I tried it, the computer would just crash and restart if I tried launching deus ex. Every single time. So, I reverted back to 601 (always keep a backup!) and it's running fine (well, everything besides deus ex, but at least the game just has terrible fps instead of crashing the system).

I can upload it somewhere after work later tonight, or mail it to you if you PM your email.
(send a PM to remind me if i forget about it)



And while I'm here, Serious Sam 3 runs fine with the orochi-ceg app. Would crash at launch without it.
This is without a fixed bios, so the tool does seem work in those cases as well, as someone mentioned already. Even if it shouldn't work ^^

Thanks for the reupload, managed to get the app.
edit: antivirus was blocking it, added it to exclusions and it works fine now.

Running my deus ex on maximum settings with perfect framerate now, so you can add my motherboard to the list of ones it works for if nothing else

Also I'm trying to contact asus support to ask them to get a bios update out for my M5A88-M but haven't been able to reach them so far (US live support chat just says 'connecting, please wait' for an hour, UK one is closed for today, I'll try them again tomorrow...)

a bit OT...Stilt, do u have some experience with the latest CPUs FX? Are new batches better or not?

[DryEagle]

I've contacted ASUS through a couple different channels now and they all told me that they are aware of the issue but because my board is a fairly new model there is no update fix for it yet, though they'll get one out as soon as it's ready. No estimate of when that will be though. Meantime the CEG app keeps things running at least.
