Good evening, i need your help. I have a laptop MSi Dragon 2 edition with H87M Chipset. I would like to know what drivers and what firmare is the best for it.
Till i know it is serie 8 and the best would be firmare 9.5, but I´m not sure because it now has 9.0 firmware versión, and i have read versión 9.0 is only recomended update to 9.0 x versions.
I have take a pick with meinfo to can give more information
Thanks a lot for your support

Thank a lot Plutomatic, i have not update my BIOS because it give me some problems with some states relatives to saving energy.In the past i updated bu after i back to my actual BIOS because i think is the best for now for me. Inclusive i updated to BIOS from january in this year and this gave me the same problems. I would like to update my MEI Firmware to check if this can be fixed, relatives to saving energy with new BIOS. Please could you tell me if it is posible to update ME Firmware without update BIOS previously?.If it is not and i have to update my BIOS firstly, which is the best firmware for my laptop? thanks a lot for your help and clarify my idea aout the firmware, thanks a lot


NOTE: I have updated with the last bios again but i have checked i follow with the problems. If i boot the laptop with usb mouse connected the laptop doesn´t boot, freezed in MSi screen besides after start the Windows and connect the usb mouse with Windows started, the laptop doesn´t enter in suspensión mode.With the old BIOS all is ok.
I have this question now, what is the best firmware for my latop, this : Intel ME9.0 Business 5MB Firmware v9.0.31.1487 or this Intel ME9.0 Consumer 1.5MB Firmware v9.0.31.1487? wich is the difference?
Till i understand my chipset is HM87 with the chipset is serie 8 and my MEI firmware is 9.0, besides i have 9.5 MEI Drivers installed

Thanks a lot Plutomatic for your help again, you are fantastic people.I explain you.
Versions "5" is for AHCI and "7" versions is for RAId system and i don´t have RAID, so my bios is 5 versión. Updating the BIOS the Firmware versión doesn´t change.
I flashed all BIOS that MSI made after E1763IMS.50V and with all gave me the same problems. I wrote in MSI oficial forums but they never gave me a solution, i contacted with spanish offcial MSI support and they told if my laptop works fine is not neccesary to update and is better not update.
I already have updated the EC firmware and EC is not the problem. I have checked with various versión EC firmware and 50V BIOS and works fine, but in the moment i update the BIOS to newer tan 50V the problems appear with EC different versions, so i´m very sure the problema is BIOS.
I already backup my BIOS some time ago, now i upload for you , not problema, but the size is ~ 1,2MB and at final contains "H" letter i don´t know why
Note: i have had to zip the file because the system not leave me to upload as bin

Plutomatic as you can check after update BIOS the ME Firmware not update to the versión you has showed in the pic
BIOS is 518 and ME Firmware is 9.0.1.1333 H

OH Plutomatic you are impressed me you are very very good technic and people, i´m very gratifull to you

How could i update new driver (10.0.30.1054) manually without installer? what i have to search in my devices management system to can update manually ?

Edit:
I have just to update ME Firmware and back to my old BIOs wich woks fine and i have the last, now i will search how to update my drivers manually to 10.0 versión, thanks for your help

Now all is updated thanks to you, excellent help plutomatic thanks a lot again
My first impression is the usb 3.0 ports works better, faster and stable, i will check to can sure of this but before heavy archives give me some problems, i had constinuosly problems , hard disk coonected to usb were disconnecting randomly too
CONFIRMED: USB 3.0 ports works fantastic now too

Ok plutomatic, i have read a lot of problems with usb 3.0 ports and i a lot of users have instaled Windows 7 drivers versión to solve an d fix the problema.perhaps upating my drivers the problema was fixed, but i sure you my ports work perfectly now, and before they were a nightmare.The speed has uploaded inclusive, i have this laptop one year ago and i known it, i bought new and i see the difference between before and now.Thanks plutomatic you have solve my problems and i´m grateful to you

Plutomatic test passed ok. Now i´m trying to update LMS Driver to v10 you posted but i don´t find in the system management, please could you tell me where it can be?



i have taken a pic from my system to help you to show me where is LMS

yes i have found here C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Management Engine Components\LMS exe but this is a executable and i can´t update drivers, i must to update the exe too as you tell with full package installer. Thanks again Plutomaniac
