BIOS for the MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate motherboard, board number MS-7850, in an 11.8 MB RAR archive. MS- is MSI's own board numbering, and the Z87 chipset indicates an Intel Haswell-era desktop platform. Technicians reprogram the SPI flash chip with this image using a programmer when the board no longer posts after a failed update or chip corruption. Back up the existing contents before erasing, and confirm the file size equals the flash capacity, since a mismatched image will not fit.
