Eclipse Sli - Not going to BIOS

Hi there
I was hoping that someone out there could help me! I have just finished building a new machine and decided to go the MSI route as opposed to the ASUS route (regretting that already!) Anyway, having finally managing to get past the machine not booting at all I have got to a stage where I cannot get into the BIOS and get no further than the memory check. The spec is the following:
Eclipse Sli
Intel Core i7 920
3GB OCZ Gold Series Triple Channel
Leadtek 7800 GT TDH PCi Express
Soundblaster Fatal1ty PCI
Hiper Type R II PSU
I have disconnected the Soundblaster and all the memory seems to be recognised because thats as far as I get - confirmation that there is 3GB on board. Is there anything else that I am missing or should be doing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Thanks to all who have posted on this thread with help and advice.
New motherboard came on Monday evening. Built on Tuesday evening, switched on with eyes closed and.................EUREKA!!! We have lift off!! Manged to get into BIOS and select the DVD drive etc. I went for XP Pro x64 for the moment and it has installed flawlessly. Only problem I am getting at the moment is trying to find the drivers for the SM Bus as I am getting the yellow triangle on device manager. Don't suppose anybody has any ideas, there doesn't seem to be anything on the driver disk.
Should I upgrade the BIOS? Are there any marked improvements over the pre installed (can't tell you version at moment as I at work!) If I do whats the best way of doing it. Is the Live Update thing still a recipe for disaster??
How's yours getting on bdhuf?

Msi p6n Platinum - not going into bios

Hi all,
Ive just put together my new pc. Its the first build ive done.
Trouble is i go to boot it up and its not going into the bios from the splash screen.
On the D bracket lights 1 and 3 are constantly lit: Testing base & Extended memory.
No matter how many times i reboot, it just doesnt work.
All it does is go to a black screen when i press delete from the splash screen.
Spec:
Intel E6600
Msi p6n Platinum
2 gig Xms2 6400C4 (using 512mb stick for booting purposes)
XFX 8800 gts 320mb XXX
2 x 36gb (these were raid - 0 on my old rig)
Hiper 480W
I havent a clue where to go with this, any help greatly appreciated - Thanks

I think the board is having a hard time detecting the HDD from the BIOS.
Try using another HDD in a standard non-raid setup and see if the problem occurs.
Anyway, you can't simply just pull a set of RAID drives from another working system and expect it to work in a new system as the RAID controller are of different makes.

MSI P6N-SLI AND INTEL QUAD CORE Q8200 NOT SUPPORTED ? BIOS FLASH ?

HI,I have MSI-P6N SLI (MS-7350) pc mainboard and my new processor Intel Quad Core Q8200 not running on this desk.
It possible some bios update or something ?? :(
thanks for answers

According to this:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1141&maincat_no=1&orderby=cpu_name%20ASC#menu
"Yorkfield" 45nm quadcores are not going to work on this board, only "wolfdale" 45nm dualcores and even that depends on revision, like Jack mentioned.
So your Q8200 is a no go unfortunatly.
Only the older 65nm "Conroe" quads will work.
and fastest intel processor (not 45nm quad core) ?

New ECLIPSE SLI Build, but not POSTing

Hello MSI peeps,
Installed MB, CPU, CPU cooler, 1 stick of RAM, SSD, HD, PSU, 1 Video card and Optical drives, but cannot get it to POST.
I powered up and the MB is showing light blue indicators on installed components, but no video signal going to monitor.
I shut down, then connected DLED2 and powred up and DLED2 says CPU.ini, which means CPU error on POST, but is this really true? I have read allot of everyone's posts on this forum where all claim that DLED2 is faulty.
I am thinking that I may have plugged in too many drives and will disconnect the HD and optical drives to see if that may be the problem....should I also try to reset CMOS too?
Here's my rig....
Case: Coolermaster CM-830
Mainboard: MSI Eclipse SLI
CPU: Intel i7 975
CPU cooler: Thermalright ULTRA-120 Extreme
RAM: Two sets (12GB) of Corsair TR3X6G1600C7D Dominator 6GB PC3-12800 1600 MHz (2GB * 3)
Video Cards: EVGA Model GTX295 Co-op x 2
PSU: Enermax Model EGX1250EWT GALAXY EVO 1250W
Primary drive: Patriot Torqx 2.5-Inch 128 GB SATAII SSD - Model PFZ128GS25SSDR
Storage drive: Seagate Barracuda 500gb
Optical drives: Pioneer Blu-Ray DVD Burner Model BDR-203BKS / SAMSUNG DVD Burner Model SH-S223L
Thanks for your inputs!!!

Hey All,
Thanks for the help, but still no change....to save you having to read every thread, basically my build won't go to post.
DLED2 reads that it is CPU.ini and of course I questioned hte validity of the DLED2 reading as I have read other threads claiming that DLED2 is faulty.....so thanks to those who have replied, I have tried everything suggested, but the build still won't post....no beeps, no video signal, but the mobo and video card LEDs indicate no issue.
Is it RMA time or should I try something else? Should I just RMA the board or should I also RMA the CPU too?
Thanks for your help!

Random restarts with Eclipse SLI board

This is a copy from my post on the Vista forums havent gotten much help there.
Describe the problem in detail!
I just built a new system on December 22nd 2008. I do Tier 2 and 3 Helpdesk work so I can work my way around a system. I put the machine together installed Vista did all the updates got all the newest drivers. Basically since I have built the Machine it will just randomly restart. It will not display a BSOD, I have auto restart turned off, and it does not create an event in the event viewer. It is almost like someone touched the reset button.
When did the problem start?
December 22nd 2008 the day I built the machine.
What have you tried to fix it?
Tried several different BIOS setups. I have upgraed the bios, did all the windows updates, got all the newest drivers for video, audio, lan etc etc. Removed MSI Live Monitor, disabled green power in Bios, and removed overclocking center. Went through event viewer and corrected three of the four errors that was showing up. One error is the Kerebos one and I am not worried about that one. I have just run both Memtest86 and Memtest86+ and both of them stop responding about half way through the test.
What is the error message (of any)?
I have Vista set to not auto restart so I should see a BSOD but I get no message. I have had 4 restarts just today and none of them created a new MEMORY.DMP file or any type of event in the viewer.
I do get warnings about something called FLASH.SYS but I cannot seem to track down what this is.
What was the last thing you did before the problem started?
Built the machine.
What are your system specs?
Vista 64
MSI Eclipse SLI X58
12 Gigs Crucial ram matched to the MoBo using the crucial matching system on the crucial website. The MoBo supports up to 24 and I am using Vista 64bit.
Antec P190 Case (Dual power supplies for a total of 1.2 KW of power)
Intel Core I7 2.66
Creative Extreme Gamer Edition PCI E sound card
Mcaffee
BFG 260 GTX
Coolmaster V8 cooler (CPU under stress runs about 70f well below the max of 208f)
Do you have a screenshot?
Nope
My next step is to take out 6 gigs of RAM and see if the issue goes away.
Any suggestions?

Test one memory module only and see what happens. If things seem fine, add one more module and test again (and so on).

MSI Eclipse Sli and Asus 6950 Direct CU II problem

I’ve recently bought the Asus 6950 Direct CU II 2GB. After I installed it a weird buzzing sound started coming from around the area, where the big heat sink below the cpu socket sits. That only happened when the graphics card was on high profile and particularly when I was in any game.
About a month later my card stopped working properly so thinking it was its fault I used the warranty and got it replaced. However with the new card the system won’t even start. My monitor goes from “Please check signal cable” to “No signal” and apparently the system is not even moving past the bios checks.
The weird think is that when I use my old card (MSI R4870 1GB) the system seems to work properly!!! I tried the 6950 in two different systems and it seems to be working….
I’ve tried resetting the bios removing other devises to test the power supply etc., but nothing works, I can only think that something is wrong with the motherboard.
Any ideas on what might be wrong???
My system is:
MB: MSI Eclipse Sli
CPU: Core I7 920
PSU: TAGAN TG700-U88 PIPEROCK SERIES 700W
RAM: 3 x CORSAIR TR3X6G1600C9 Triple DDR3
HDD: WD Velociraptor 150GB for the OS

Thanks for the timely reply HU16E.
I don't have another psu available right now but I will in 3 days so I will try that.
On the other hand I have mine working as a single rail from the day I bought it (turbo mode switch on the psu), but i am not sure how this can be connected.
Also while I was playing around with the system it started up, only once, with the 6950, and that happened with everything connected so I still can't figure what the hell is happening!!!! I am thinking that something on the pcie port is wrong so i tried on the other ports too, yet nothing happened.
I am still leaning towards the motherboard but any other ideas would be welcomed.

PC shuts down or reboots spontaneously (MSI Eclipse SLI)

Starting a new thread to avoid totally hijacking another thread talking about almost the same symptoms here.
My original post:
Quote from: Smoke on 05-April-09, 12:43:21
I get this same situation.. except the event viewer doesnt state anything.
The system is not bluescreening.. it just hardware powers down and reboots.
I get the same message as the original poster as well, it is very annoying as it often happens in the middle of doing something.
I wonder if it could be thermal related to the high IOH temps on the board (often 80-85C, but not sure what happens to them in the middle of playing a game)? Is there any way to log the temperatures to a file so I can check what they were at the time of the crash?
I get this issue whether I change the default bios settings or not. Ive got a 920 on my eclipse board, my CPU temps are below 30C under load. System temp is about 27C.
What can I do?
The following replies:
Quote from: AaronYuri on 05-April-09, 12:56:57
That's way too high, even for 100% load. Reinstall the heatsink.
Quote from: Smoke on 05-April-09, 20:46:53
It is? I found another thread on this forum where it was mentioned that intel and msi said the IOH runs hot and to expect temps up to 100C. How do I go about changing the manufacturers heatsink on a board? Ive never done that before and cant find any procedural help thru google...
Ive been able to replicate the issue by running ram up to high usage. When I get above 98% ram allocation, I spontaneously reboot. So It could be a ram issue as well. Of would that be something possible IOH related as well?
Quote from: NovJoe on 05-April-09, 23:37:33
smoke,
Can you list out your full system spec and PSU spec?
System Spec:
Core i7 920 w/ TRUE 120
MSI eclipse SLI (bios 1.4)
6x 1gb corsair 1866mhz rated ram sticks (TR3X3G1866C9DF)
1500w thermaltake psu
galaxy gtx295 in the primary x16 pci-e slot
MSI eclipse soundcard in the 1st pci-e x1 slot
4x 1tb samsung 'UJ' hdd (raid 5)
O/S (= old winxp 32 bit until I get hold of a 64 bit os) running on 128gb PQI SSD
lg bluray burner
All the drives are sata2 and running on the ICHIOR ports.
For bios settings Ive got the optimised defaults with spread spectrum off and turbo boost on. Once its table then I will OC, but for now its not stable at the baseline yet.
Temp info:
IOH temps are as I said, around 80 at startup but rise to at least 87 under load, but not really much further that Ive seen.
CPU temps are very low with the dual-fan TRUE 120 heatsink. I havet seen it go above 35C with a reasonably heavy processing load. Usually sits about 0-2C above ambient at most when idle.
System temps get to about 40 under load, or around 27-35 under regular usage, but Im not quite sure what thats measuring the temp of on the board.
The issue is very frustrating but somewhat intermittent - I can go two days without a crash but then get several in a row. I wasnt previously paying attention to my usage at the time tho so I dont remember what I was doing when it crashed that I wasnt doing when it was fine. I have been able to replicate the crash/reboot/shutdown symptom by running multiple memory intensive apps and loading the ram up to just on the 2.99gb mark (the most winxp 32 bit will 'see') and it goes down. No blue screen though.. its a hardware issue not software I am pretty sure.
[edit] Updated the ram part number to be correct.

ok, should I label this possibly as solved?
I followed MSI's advice and checked through on drivers. Ive got totally up to date drivers, but nvidia just put out a .5 driver update (i mean, its increased the driver version by .50) and so I updated to that. I still got a sft reboot on testing, so no real joy.
THEN, I did the big change MSI asked me to do - Ive successfully brought my system up to bios 1.5B3 and pow, massive improvements all round!
Intelburntest runs perfectly now, no crash, no reboot, no errors of any kind. All residuals match. No memory errors. Memtest86 2.11 runs smooth as silk without errors either. PCmark runs out a basic benchmark of almost 19000 (about 3000, or 18.75%, more than the std core i7 920 benchmark without OC'ing) and looks great. Couldnt get that to run previously either.
The previous methods which 100% of the time would replicate the soft reboot of the system now no longer do so at all (i.e. 0% of the time yet) and for that matter I have not been able to get the box to fall over AT ALL since the new bios.
I have the same temps on cpu/ioh/system as I did previously. I recall for the same clock speed the cpu was putting out something well under 20 gigaflops... now its a solid 28. I didnt even realise that was a symptom of anything wrong, else the bios does some amazing extras.
I should note, Im only now using the 'optimised defaults' setting thru the bios. No overclock at all yet.
I'd love to know what MSI changed from 1.4 to 1.5B3, but whatever it was.. it does appear to have solved my issues. I wont say that conclusively just yet, but I cant bring the system to a crash no matter what I try now where it was rather easy to blow it over with a quiet whistle before.
Other things Ive noted is that the page file now seems to be actively utilised. Ive pushed it at load up to almost 3gb where before the bios update I was struggling to see 400mb used. Not sure if that was part of it, but if you get simiar issues go straight to MSI and see about getting hold of the 1.5B3 bios or later.
To quickly address the recent replies:
1) Ive got to agree with HU16E with my ram. I have no trouble running at the 1333 JDEC spec. And I feel very positive about now being able to achieve the XMP spec with this new bios.
2) Thanks for the link Aaron. I did end up using the USB flash method from this forum. Worked perfectly. Chalk up another success story!
3) I did try to swap out the ssd last night, but the system kept soft rebooting while installing the OS on the spin drive. SO I gave up. Seems the ssd isnt a drawback under the new bios tho (assuming it even was a cause earlier).
4) Ive DL'ed the x64 windows 7 beta and I'll likely as not have a shot installing that and refitting the extra 3gb ram back into the system. I'll let you know how it goes. Theoretically 6x1gb sticks should be as much as 15-20% faster than 3x 2gb sticks (and were about that much cheaper for me at time of purchase) but I'll run some benchmarks now that the benchmarks work and let you know the differences in case anyone wants to build their box the same way.
Conclusion:
I'll stress the system over a bit for the next few days without overclocking and I'll see if I can bring the system to reboot like it did previously through high usage, and if I cant I'll change the thread to solved and write out a proper solution post for the problem, symptoms and solution.
Id like to take the opportunity to say thanks to all the guys who've given me help and advice. Youve all been really great. Thanks a bundle! I owe you one

Eclipse SLI cannot post

Well hello to the forum, I have been using MSI products for almost a decade, and I am facing a very difficult problem, that it drives me mad.
First of all I have the following system running for 3 and half years
Mobo Eclipse SLI bios v1.15 (1.F 03/03/2011)
CPU i7 920 2.66GHZ overclocked to 3.20GHZ
PSU TAGAN BZ-series 1300watt
Graphics MSI Cyclone HD 4890
RAM CORSAIR TR3X6G1600C7D, CMT12GX3M3A2000C9
HDD 2X1TB WD BLACK SATA3 RAID0, 2X1TB WD GREEN SATA2 RAID0
DVDRW LG SATA, DVD LG IDE
Sound MSI Creative XFi (came with mobo)
Screen ASUS VK246 on HDMI
Case Thermaltake Speedo full tower
A couple weeks ago when listening to internet radio, the PC freezed, no display, no reset button so I power it off.
I tried to power it on but the power indicator didn't have no light, the reset button had its light on and all other components had power, but no post.
I power it off, and let it go for the night. Next day I cleared the cmos, pulled out the battery, bought a new one cause the voltage was 2.9v, disassembled everything, put new thermal paste for the cpu, and posted after 4 or 5 loops, I got the system running installed windows 7 sp1, and let it run over night. Next morning the same thing happened , and it keeps happening if I leave the pc running at night.
I have checked everything, with one ram installed, disassembled graphics card, applied thermal paste to the gpu.
So I am out of ideas. I have endless loops for post and if I am lucky it will post!!
Is the mobo bios defected or is there a way to save it? I think it is some kind of capacitor that is going bad.
Any help would be nice.......................

xmad, thank you for your reply, I managed to post and boot my pc, but there is another issue that I came onto it.
My eclipse has the D-Led2 accessory that I never used it, so I hook it up to give it a try, but it is not working, the button has power, the lcd display shows nothing, and the funny thing is that it blocks my graphics card of displaying anything on the screen, I do hear the hard drives spin and everything else seems to work ok.
Is there any beta bios for eclipse sli, so I can test it?

X58 Eclipse Sli with CMP12GX3M3A1600C9 how to make it run stable in 1600Hz?

Hello ,
I m new here, so forgive me if i make a mistake somewhere !
So my specs are :
motherboard: X58 Eclipse Sli(bios ver:1.F0 model:MS-7520)
CPU:i7 950 @ 3,07 (stock)
GPU: 2x GTX470(msi)
PSU:Thermaltake 1200watt
HD:1xSSD , 1xWD@10000rpm
and here is my story:
I have been using TR3X6G1600C9(corsair ver8.1) with XMP enabled so in 1600Hz and everything were going sweet stable pc , then i decided to put something more on it another TR3X6G1600C9(corsair) this time came different ver2.5 with XMP profile off seems work fine , with XMP on blue screen-restart so i asked in corsair forum they show a .pdf from corsair which was saying that mixing modules even with same kind of memory there are posibilities it wont be compatible-work.
Today i just replaced the 2xTR3X6G1600C9 with CMP12GX3M3A1600C9(corsair) enabled the XMP profile , everything was looking good all 12gb were working , but after some time i got blue screen and restart :(, so i bet this has to do with options and propably i have to do more than to enable XMP profile in order to make it stable. So any suggetions ? Yes i m totally noob from knowledge in bios only i know is to enable XMP but i m looking forward to learn stuff from ya guys and considering that i might just lost about 230e in order to upgrade ram and i can't make to work 12gb stable in 1600hz i should of ask much earlier!

What i have done so far ,with CMP12GX3M3A1600C9 http://www.corsair.com/memory/dominator/dominator/cmp12gx3m3a1600c9.html
turned off XMP , put manually :1.DRAM freq-1600Hz 2. CAS timings 9-9-9-24 3.DRAM command rate 2N 4. DRAM Voltage 1.65 it did't crass again so far but i am afraid about this DRAM Voktage 1.65 is it posible that i will destroy my CPU this way??? The rest options in bios are setted to optimal defaults should i change something else in order to protect my CPU?

What I hate about the Eclipse SLi

Not sure where to post this kind of thing, but having spent a fortune (£3,500 to be exact) on my new build PC, I thought I'd make a quick list of why I regret buying the MSI Eclipse SLi MB rather than another manufacturer. Maybe someone from MSI will read this and slap their designers about a bit
1) It has 10 SATA ports and supports SLi. What they don't tell you is that if you have 2 GFX cards, you cannot use 2 of the SATA ports as the 2nd GFX card covers them up. I had to purchase an additional PCI-E SATA card, and now, obviously, 2 of my planned devices don't work until Windows has booted and the drivers are loaded.
2) If you have a 2nd GFX card, it covers up the DLED and you cannot read the POST messages.
3) Needing to use a piece of tape to fix the thermocouple to some component
4) Less than great documentation on the BIOS options
5) Having only 2 USB headers on the MB. With everything being USB these days, more headers would be good so I can connect up my multi-card reader as well as case-mounted USB ports.
6) Poorly performing RAID implementation (or poor drivers) for RAID5
Anyway, that's my rant over for now. I've always used MSI MB's (except my last one was an Abit), but this has really put me off buying another one. I really regret it.

1.) I solved the SATA issue by connecting the sata cables to the ports BEFORE i put the cards in. Mine work fine.
2.) What GFX card are you using? I have 2 x GTX285's and they are NOT small. Yet I can still see my DLED. Perhaps if you squat down to eye level vs. Looking from the top of the board down?
3.) Not sure what you are talking about. I know my Copper heat pipe was missing a plastic retention clip and spring/ Found it packaged UNDER THE BOARD (damn QA dropped the ball). Clip was broken so I had to pay $5 for shipping or a new plastic clip for mine.
4.) I agree they need to document the BIOS much better.
5.) To be fair, most ALL the major sellers like Newegg and Tigerdirect list how many stat headders, usb headders etc there are. Not knowing there were only 2 herders is the fault of the buyer.
6.) On board raid is always cheap bro. Good raid cards can cost around $200-1000USD. Hardware > Software. I bought a mid line SATA Raid card for my box. Have 3 raptor drives in Raid 0. VERY happy i did it to.

Mai eclipse sli CPU problem

Just got new i7 970 CPU and for some strange reason the bios setting for turbo boost is greyd out and another thing when I run the msi overclocking tool it reports only 4 cores not 6, in device manager is showe all 12 threads but when I look at the performance manager it shows only 8 threds anyone can suggest anything?
I am running:
6x2gb OCD gold 1600
Intel i7 970
Msi eclipse sli bios 1.13
Radeon 5870
And a few drives
I replaced intel i7 940 which worked great

Starting to sound like it is CPU/socket related. Sometimes a CPU reseat will help. Uneven downward pressure on the CPU by the cooler can cause these symptoms. The socket pins should probably be very closely inspected for any that may be bent or broken. The CPU contact pads each checked for solid contact. Before pulling the CPU, try with only one stick RAM in the primary (A0) black dimm slot & check for results. If you do pull the CPU, be sure to remove the PSU power cord & clear CMOS before starting up the system again.

Eclipse SLI CPU fan always on max

Hello i got a problem with my Eclipse SLI. It's look like the CPU smart fan function don't work and the CPU fan is on max all the time.
My bios temp's goes from 32-40 C. I have used a lot of different bios versions. 1.4 - 1.7 - 1.9 - 1.a none of those could fix it.
Eclipse SLI
Intel i7 920 - standard clock

Hello i got a problem with my Eclipse SLI. It's look like the CPU smart fan function don't work and the CPU fan is on max all the time.
They have a switch for "always maximum cooling" and "temperature controlled speed". Check your CPU fan - it may help to read the CPU installation instructions as they show where the switch is. I would guess that you have it in the wrong position, so your BIOS can't do anything...

Eclipse SLI slow install of Vista 64 and no bootable raid 0 volume

I've been trying to install Vista 64 on the MSI Eclipse SLI mobo with 2x Seagate 1.5TB hdd in raid 0. Can someone please help me?
I have the following:
1) Onboard ATA Devices set for [RAID]
2) Use ctl-i to create a raid volume [RAID0] - the volume reads as not bootable
3) Vista 64 install takes a long long time and does not recognize the disk volumes even with the ICH10R SATA RAID driver.
MSI Eclipse SLI mobo BIOS v1.8
OCZ DDR3 1600 mem
i7 950

Double and triple checked both the printed manual and the downloadable 7520v1.0 manual and found nothing indicating how to get the RAID 0 volume to become bootable.
I've tried configuring RAID in two ways:
1) Setting On-Chip ATA Device to [RAID]
Creating a RAID0 Volume - Not bootable shows
- Raid volume was created but was not seen during vista 64 install as valid drives, even after driver was installed.
2) Setting On-Chip ATA Device to [AHCI]
Installing the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver
- Vista 64 install was good but Intel Matrix Storage Manager did not have the action for making an existing device into raid.
I could however, make the RAID0 partition size smaller (1500TB) and that would allow the drives to show as bootable. There may be a bug with the Intel ATA Driver for drive size or a bug with the Intel RAID Utility (ctl-i).

GTX 470 AND MSI Eclipse SLI

hi,
I got a msi eclipse sli mobo and i going to upgrade my sapphire hd 4870 512mb to a gtx 470.
but why should i buy an msi gtx 470, does the card make a special connection with the mobo so it performs better than when i would put in an EVGA card ??

Probably because it is cool to have as much MSI Components in the system as possible (it is a corporate identity kind of thing).

Not really.

The performance depends on the cards specs. If the MSI Version has better specifications (more memory, slightly overclocked etc.), it may perform better than the EVGA Card. If the cards are identical there is no reason to believe that one would be faster then the other.

Hard-Power off caused BIOS to stop working (NOT because of BIOS Flash)

I was trying to boot up a live CD on my Toshiba Satellite P305D-S8900. The F12 key to pull up the boot menu didn't work, and it started to boot to Windows. I let it get past the "Starting Windows" Orab (running Windows 7), and hard-powered it off when it got to "Please Wait..." right before the login screen. After that, when ever I turn it on, the BIOS isn't loading. The Only LED lights going on are the Power button one, and the three that indicates it plugged in, the power is on, and the Battery indicator. The media buttons and the one above the trackpad doesn't work. The track pad one lights up when I hit the power button to turn it off. The fans are working (indicating the power management is working), the CD Drive is reading to see if there is a disc in there, and the screen remains black. There is no hard drive activity whatsoever. And the strangest thing of all...no beep code!!
I have so far tried taking out my MAIN battery for 24 hours (NOT the CMOS battery) and a Pheniox Crisis Disk with these combinations: "Win+B", "Fn+B", and "Fn+F". There is no beep codes when I do it or even any beeping to indicate the BIOS is getting flashed for that matter. Are there any other key combinations I could try? And yes, I from the start took out the battery, plugged in the drive, and pressed and held the key combinations while plugging in the AC, turning it on, and waiting about 30 seconds to release the key combinations. Like I said, this was not during any BIOS flashing, and what went wrong really stumps me.
Is there any other solution I could try? As of right now, sending into repair is not an option. Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks in advanced!
