Hey y’all, i recently had to rma my gs76 stealth after a hardware thing but when i got it back, my VR wouldnt work, i traced that to probably being a bios setting that got reset when the battery was removed, however, when i went into the MSI clickbios, it looked way different and i don’t even have the setting im looking for anymore. In fact i have way, way less options than i did before for bios settings, this seems like an older version of the bios, updating from usb to the version on their website just gives me the same bios, idk what’s happening.

for reference my bios used to look like this like this

and now it looks like this  like this

Like others have mentioned, what you’re looking for is likely hidden behind the “advanced” button. If not ,you should at least find the bios version number, one you can compare to your old one. It might be they shipped it back to you with an earlier version of the bios, so you’ll have to update it. However, I would not expect a huge difference in the feature set between versions.

Well I see there’s a way to get to the “advanced” settings by pressing Ctrl+left alt+shift+f2 but its been doing nothing for me, even when going back into windows and unlocking the function keys.

And I have flashed straight from the bios offered on the computers specifications page and confirmed that it matched, I’m really not sure what’s going on here, or why their bios on the downloads page is an older version than what was shipped with the laptop. I know sure as hell the original owner, my dad, wasn’t the one to upgrade.
