A78M-E35 motherboard not booting!

Hello! I have problem with MSI A78M-E35 motherboard. I installed CPU, one memory stick and GPU, plugged all wires (ATX 24 pin and 4 pic for CPU), also front panel connectors.
Board: MSI A78M-E35 (S/N 601-7721-150B1401110990)
Processor: AMD Athlon X4 860K 3.7GHz/4MB FM2+
Video: NVidia GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB 128 bit
DIMM: Kingston DDR3-1866 4096MB PC3-14900 HyperX FURY
It's start spinning fans, but no boot next. Just a black screen. Please help, what version of bios my motherboard have?

without a supported CPU installed you have very little chance of being able to flash the board unless its done VIA a SPI flash programmer hooked upto JSPI1 on the board near the BIOS chip!
so you only have 3 ways to get it fixed:
1: RMA the board to MSI to get it reflashed
2: find a shop near you that can do a SPI flash of a board
3: borrow a supported CPU to get it to post so you can perform a flash
(if you can make a USB stick with the updated BIOS file on it and place it into a USB 2.0 port on the board it may be able to blind flash to the newer version but its not very likely to work but you could give that a go!)

Re: MSI Gaming 7 Motherboard Not Booting

If it's a multi-bios system, make sure the bios version on both chip are the same.

Hi,
I think I fixed the USB issue. I just removed the old NEC USB 3 driver and use only the Intel uSB 3 driver and it has no problems with my front usb ports now.
I also installed the killer network driver only without suite and it works great.

MSI G31M3 V2 not booting no beeps

i have a MSI G31M3 V2 motherboard not booting and no beeps.tried many ways (including clearing) bios to boot up to post screen.
so system was taken apart just to ram sticks but still no beeps but fans runs .
when remove the ram sticks continuous beeps goes on.

That PSU is not even good enough to use with a modern system using onboard graphics let alone one with add on VGA card. +12V~17A on a 550W PSU? Take that thing as far into the Outback as you can and lose it somewhere.
A good 350W would have at least +12V~20A.

Will boot BIOS no problem. When you exit BIOS Windows starts to boot, then goes to a screen that reads. repair windows or boot normally. There is also a message at the top that says there could have been a change in software or hardware.

Judging from what I'm reading in your post you have installed a HDD from another PC with Windows already installed on it. It's not going to boot if that's true and you will need to do a fresh install of Windows on it or at the very least try a repair install.

890fxa-gd70 Motherboards Do Not Boot + video (please help)

So I have TWICE returned this model motherboard for a new one under warranty. The second time they asked me to make sure there was a problem with the board because they didn't detect any problems with the first board I RMAed.
So anyway, I press ON and the board never gets past a few leds lighting up. There is no error code because it doesn't even turn on. Things I have tried:
Different PSU
Different memory in each slot
Different processor
Connected hard drive/ disconnected hard drive
Different graphics cards and 1 in each PCIe slot
I can't update the BIOS because it doesn't boot
I normally run the operating system off my flash drive.
It has always been on an anti-static surface (cardboard)
These boards worked for a little while then just randomly stopped working. The latest board I got booted up for a while then kind of went into a sleep mode that it could never wake up from.
If anyone has any ideas please let me know. It costs me $15 bucks every time I RMA this piece of crap. I have 2 different of these boards in my possession right now having the EXACT same problem!
youtube.com/watch?v=1QY99sMdF6Y video of it not booting when it's supposed to.
The hdd light just stays on (red light) and those blue lights and nothing else powers on not even the fans.

All my cards are radeon hd 6870s
AMD Sempron 145 Processor
The PSU is an OCZ ZX Series 1250W (+12VDC @ 104A Single Rail Design)
I also tried my other OCZ 1000watt on it with only 1 GPU plugged in.
The lack of booting happens with 0-4 cards plugged in. Just the lights come on, particularly the red hdd light stays lit.
I tried multiple different types of DDR3.
Currently, It's OCZ platinum 7-7-7 DDR3 1600. This is a product listing of the memory that I'm currently using for it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227381

Z68A-GD65 (G3) - Motherboard's not booting with a PCI Soundblaster Audigy 2.

Hi everybody, as thread title says I've got some trouble with my motherboard, Z68A-GD65 (G3) and a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS that a friend of mine gave to me. I gave a try in both PCI slots avaiable on the motherboard but as i place the SB in PCI slot 1 or PCI slot 2 the system do not boot up. As soon as i take it off, the system works great as usual.
Of course i disabled the onboard audio to avoid resource sharing between the two. This is the only hint i had reading around on MSI trobleshootin.
The only other parameter i can change regarding PCI is latency in the BIOS. I found to be 32 cycle by default and i did not modified it.
The Audigy works flawlessly on another Intel P45 Board from a different brand and with the same video card in the PCI-E Slot. Of course Cpu end Ram ar different. When i did the try i disconnected everything unnecessary for the boot process.
Any hint would be very appreciated.
Thanks, Daniele.

As i read on manual, the PCI setting into the bios is not something can cause instability:
PCI Subsystem Settings
Press <Enter> to enter the sub-menu.
PCI Latency Timer
This item controls how long each PCI device can hold the bus before another
takes over. When set to higher values, every PCI device can conduct transactions
for a longer time and thus improve the effective PCI bandwidth. For better PCI
performance, you should set the item to higher values.

N100 Will Not Boot - Motherboard problem?

Hi - I have N100 and it seems that the notebook will not boot at this time. Power Button is pushed with battery light blinking red momentarily to geen and then notebook shuts off while display of boot screen is not shown, could not hear hard drive spinning, or see CPU fan moving.
I've opened many covers on the bottom to make that everything is tight with still no success.
Does another have a similar problem? It seems more like a motherboard issue, which is very serious but would like to confirm someone elese's experience.
Thanks.
Vin

I have same experience with N100. See my poster a day ago (http://forums.lenovo.com/lnv/board/message?board.id=N_Series_Lenovo_3000&thread.id=12233).
If black screen comes with power light on and no beeps, it is mostly likely motheboard. You can cofirm it by removing memory or hard drive. If you hear beeps, then motherboard is fine. Otherwise, it is failure of MB. I called Lenovo and was told MB replacement costs $475. The cheapest MB from ebay is $200. So it is not worth to replace. Time to buy a new laptop.

Ill not boot. just had new motherboard (or whatever mac call it) and RAM fitted and still U/s

17inch Macbook pro has just had new motherboard (or whatever mac call it) fitted and RAM replaced at great expense and still useless. Will not boot. tried booting in safe - with shift held - no joy. Any suggestions?

Your solution lies with who ever repaired the MBP. Based on what you are describing, the repair is unsatisfactory so bring it back.
Ciao.

Motherboard will not boot up@133

I have recently built a system with an MSI KT4V-L motherboard, 512 PC2700 Ram, Athlon 2GH Chip, the system works fine with the FSB set at 100MHz, as soon as the system is set to 133MHz then the system will not boot to either windows or a boot disk, is this a problem with the motherboard or a conflict with the ram modules

Hi,
Has this board got a jumper to toggle 100/133 - if it has you need to set it to 133 and also - set the clock frequency in the BIOS to 133.
Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious - but you never know.

Hi,
We have a Lenovo 3000 N200 0769 A42 that is not booting anymore. Concretely, when the on/off button is pressed, the fan goes on for a few seconds, the HD led is switched on and the CDrom is running for a few second too, then nothing else, except the "On" led that remains switched on...
I tried this: http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Value-line/Help-How-to-reset-CMOS-on-3000-N200-model-076... to no avail.
I removed the keyboard and unplugged for one minute the only plug I found with red and black wires, to no avail either...
The computer seems dead... Any suggestion to reanimate it?
Thanks in advance,

Hi, Thank for the reply.
There is nothing displayed on the screen and no access to the Bios.
I did tried to reset the motherboard after having removed the AC power, the battery, the HD and the RAM (by short cutting two exposed metal traces labelled CLRP1 and by unplugging the battery cable found behind the keyboard. To no avail...

Problem:
After being shut off for more than 2 hours my computer will not boot up on the 1st try. It goes to a message that says"Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key". I shut it down using the power button, wait for the hard drives to stop spinning, and then hit the power again and it starts up just fine. It will restart just fine also as many time as I want to restart it, after it has been running in windows. Once it is running, it runs terrific, no problems at all.
If you go right into the bios after sitting for a while you see this in the boot sequence, notice there is no hard drives(Nvidia Stripe)in the boot sequence.
After shutting it down and starting right back up this is what you see in the boot sequence. This pic is from a different time, thats why the boot sequence is different.
Here is a short youtube video (2:10 sec) made to help show the problem. (I called it a Cold boot Storage problem for another thread) just ignore that.
Things I have done to try to solve the problem:
1. Update the bios
2.I have moved the boot sequence around, Foppy1st, or CD 1st, ect. and even disabled the [USB:HP Photosm] in the boot sequence, Hard Drives are 1st now.
3.Replaced the Mobo Battery thinking that it was not remembering the boot sequence
4.Checked that the Hard Drives are connected to the correct plugs (6-7) on the motherboard, and that the raid connector JP1 was shorted out for Raid 0 and the blue indicator light was flashing.
* Just a note in this area. I did set up the Raid 0 with a tech from MSI because I was having an issue with the initial set up, and I did use the Nvidia raid drivers that came with the motherboard. Pchas01 in another thread thought that this could be part of the issue because it is not necessary to load the drivers when you set up the Motherboard in the Raid mode.
F10 and look in the Raid Array
5. Pulled the jumper off of JP1 and it just went to the "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" screen much faster, but would never boot up after 5 tries. Put the jumper back in and started up on the 2nd try like the normal problem.
6.Went into the On-Chip ATA devices in the bios and Changed the Raid Mode to an IDE, I cannot F10 and get into the Raid Array now, but I guess that is normal.
Now this is what my boot sequence currently looks like.
That is the point that I am right now. It runs great, games are awesome on it. Its just does not want to start up on the 1st attempt.
Thanks for any help on this
Chris aka Fritzpeed novice builder

Thanks for the reply,
I started with the easy fixes first, changed the sata cables, and tried different power supply connectors. Both tests had same results, still boots up on 2nd try. I did not know how soon the problem would re-occur after it has been shut down, my shortest time so far is 25 minutes.

Why only one RAID channel is enabled? Array can't be detected in that way...
Well right now, it is not even set up that way, in my #6 problem solving, it was suggested that I turn the Raid Mode off and try [IDE] to see if that made a difference,"because I don't need Raid enabled for the hardware raid". It did not, it only booted to the "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key" window about 60 seconds faster. It is currently set up in this way.
This is how it looks in my On-Chip ATA Devices
How do I check this?

Does the problem persist when you use Silicon RAID instead Nvidia RAID?
I am still working on getting the seagate diagnostics to work, I am getting an error message before I can even test them.
I do have another question. Why is my HP Printer showing up in the Hard drive test, and also why is it showing up in my boot sequence, is this normal?
And speaking of boot sequences I got in there again just now and saw 2 [USB:HP Photosm]
Thanks again, still working on testing hard drives.

Complicated problem: Laggy Macbook Pro, now not booting

I am facing a very complicated issue with my unibody Early 2011 15" Macbook Pro (2.2 ghz core i7, 4gb 1333mhz ram, amd radeon 6750m, if you need hardware details).
I guess the issue started after my computer started to get laggy for no reason at all: it was never the GUI that lagged, but whenever I would perform some data-dependent tasks such as playing a video, or trying to open a big file. This lagging did coincide with some of my friends playing around with magnets around my computer (which may have possibly corrupted hard disk data).
After it got laggy, another major problem hit my MacBook, where I plugged in an old, broken USB into one of the ports by accident, and the computer suddenly shut it self off. The computer then seemed to have no power at all, with no response to pressing power button, or the battery indicator button. I feared the worst: that my logic board had been fried, so I immediately took my computer to the Apple Reseller. The technicians there said it was no problem at all, just that my motherboard had shut itself of in order to protect itself from a USB power shortage, and he unplugged and replugged this one small component on the logic board, which I am guessing is the Power Management Unit, and my computer miraculeously started booting.
So then, I get back home, and the laggy problem is still there. I just had to cope with the problem for a few days, until I go back to the Apple Reseller, but then suddenly, after a restart, the computer started not even booting. The grey apple icon would blink, and turn into a circle with a cross icon. Checked online, and this is apparently related to corrupted system files. This is where I began to suspect that the USB shut-off from few days ago, did more damage than the technicians thought: maybe related to the hard disk, or RAM.
But then again, it could have just been a coincidental corrupt hard disk from my actions, so I wiped/repartitioned my hard disk, and restored the OS and my files from a TIme Machine Backup. Again, the problem was still there, so I thought it might be to do with my backed up system files, so I did a fresh install of Lion.
The fresh install of Lion seemed to eliminate all lagging problems, but after I started copying my files and installing applications from Time Machine, the lagging problem gradually returned. So another question arose, was it a faulty hard disk, or a corrupt file or application that was making it laggy? To check if it was my hard disk, I did a zero-over erase of the entire disk with Disk Utility, and sure enough, the writing process failed in the middle.
After thinking I zeroed in on the problem, I replaced the hard disk in my Macbook Pro with another 750gb Toshiba SATA drive, and did a clean install of Lion. Once again, the laggy problem was gone, but just like the old hard disk, the laggy problem returned after I started copying files over and installing applications. Switching applications would take forever, and accessing folders on my hard disk would also be laggy. Playing videos was impossible, but the GUI (dock, spaces, etc) were all very responsive.
Now, I thought the problem is either with faulty RAM, or my hard disk reader is broken (since two hard disks, although the original one was faulty, both failed). I read online that the Apple Hardware Test (AHT) can help identify and pinpoint hardware problems, so I inserted the 2nd disk that came with my computer (Applications Install), and pressed D, but then nothing came up. After countless attempts, I maybe thought it was the wrong disk, so I inserted the 1st disk (OS Installer), and held D while booting, but still, AHT would not load.
After countless attempts at loading AHT, all of which led to me forcing shut down/holding power button after seeing the Apple logo, brings the problem to where I am at now: my Macbook does not boot into the login screen. After the Apple logo, and the spinner wheel have appeared, the screen turns white and the display becomes an infinite loop of switching from a gray color, to a white color.
This problem is frustrating me very much, because there are so many possible causes, and the problem persists even after reinstalling the OS, and even replacing the ard drive. The logic board shutoff could be the cause, but then again, the lagging problem started way before it happened. Somebody please tell me what is the problem, and what I should do? Thanks in advance.

Didn't know my magnets were strong enough to corrupt hard disks.
Yes, it's a method used to destroy data on a hard drive as it's recorded using magnetic fields, either "on" or "off" to represent the 1's and 0's that make up the basic building blocks of your data.
But, the magnet does not explain why the hard disk reported an error when being erased with zero-over option.
When the driver software has a problem reading the data on the drive, it assumes it's a bad sector, then maps it off and uses a spare. You likely ran out of spares.
I just tried zero-over erasing the second, good hard disk that replaced the original, but again, it fails. Is this a common problem with the zero erase option?
No.
or is it something to do with my hard disks, or some sort of damaged hardware in my computer?
Well this is drive #2 and it's new, and you get the same problem.
It's either something your doing, (like moving the hard drive/ computer while it's operating thus the heads are striking the platters) or it's a hardware defect, or perhaps the magnets did other damage we can't see, perhaps it's magnatized the computer and that's affecting the hard drive or electronics.
May be a loose or defective cable.
It's time for a hardware evaluation at this point.

Hard drive detected but will not boot Windows Vista or recovery disk

Hi,
I have a very similar issue with a HP Pavillion a6355.uk, the hard drive kept crshing windows and then it finally just kept getting pass the HP boot menu options, and then all I get is the DOS "@press ctrl+alt+del to restart".
The hard drive is detected and passes all the tests, after pressing F9, going into the F10 options. F11 does not do anything, so cannot recover windows/the system.
I have tried changing the SATA connections on the motherboard, no difference. I tried the recovery boot disk I created when it was working and it will not boot with the old or new hard drive I bought to replace it (same size and compatable).
I cannot find where to partition the new hard drive or format the c: on the old one (it had D: for the recovery, but as it won't boot, cannot access this).
I have also tried the HP website to dowload the drivers for the new one, but the page does not load up to show any drivers or Windows to download.
http://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/HP-Pavilion-a6300-Desktop-PC-series/3644673/model/3671505/driver...
The next page just keeps looping or not proceeding when I put in details.
I can’t find anywhere to get hold of my copy of windows vista for this PC or get a disk to re-install on a new drive or fix the old detected drive, can someone please help!!

Just what size HD and is the drive Sata II or Sata III?

Pavilion G6 2249WM powers on but does not boot - black screen

I have a G6 2249wm that had a message that the fan wasn't working. I had the fan replaced and after it was replaced it would not boot. I could hear the fan running and the caps lock light blinked once about every 5 seconds and the amber wifi light was on. After researching and taking steps outlined in the HP Computer does not start (Windows 8), I found that the code meant that the CPU was bad. I had that replaced and the notebook is still in the same condition. Is there anything else that I can do to get this computer to work?

After troubleshooting a little more I find that when the laptop is started the hard drive does not turn on. I used a USB adapter to plug the hdd into my desktop and found that it does work. I then plugged a different hdd that I know works into the laptop and found the same issue. Does this mean that the motherboard is bad?
