After BIOS upgrade only PCI Vid works, not PCI-e

After upgrading the bios to the most recent 1.4 version I can only get a PCI video card to work. Every time I put in my X600 PCI-E card I get no post. I have tried messing with the PCI-E voltage up to 1.7. Have tried reseating quite a few times. Have everything unplugged except 1 stick o' RAM, PSU, Proc, Video. Cleared the CMOS using the remove battery, power, jumper, etc. method as posted. Just can't figure it out. Worked fine before the BIOS upgrade except for Core Center causing reboots and CPU temp looking way too high even for a prescott.
Good news is my CPU temp is more reasonable and Core Center is working.

WEll im not going to upgrade to the 1.4 BIOS as I have the same video card. Maybe try it when I get my new X800 XL, but this is ->

  • Help Please - X200 will not boot after Bios Upgrade - keeps asking for power on password

    Hi there,
    I am new to this forum and please let me say a big Thank You for your help in advance.
    I am using a lenovo thinkpad x200 running windows vista with service pack 1. 
    The laptop has always been running fine and has never given me any issues. Unfortunately, all this came to an end yesterday when I ran the system assistant which did a round of updates and it prompted me to reflash my bios. 
    I did what was instructed and closed all open applications and after the laptop restarted, there was a noise from the harddisk (the sound was basically like what happens if the harddisk suddenly loses power). Then, all i got was a black screen, no harddisk acitvity with only the power cable LED and another LED (with the shape of a N tiled at 20 degrees) on. 
    I searched the forum and did what was suggested in this entry: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Blank-screen-after-Bios-Upgrade-on-X200/ta-p/29... 
    This is what I did so far"
    I turned off the power, took out the backup battery and waited for about 30 minutes (repeated this step several times, also removing the harddisk) but to no avail.
    I removed the RAM and tried booting and there was that characteristic beeping sound. 
    I replaced the RAM, redid the CMOS clearing, and now there is the Lenovo startup screen. However, there would be an error code 0271 (no date time) and 0251 (something about default configuration). Then, these disappear and all I am left with is the Bios Power On password prompt. Somehow no matter what I type nothing can be input into the field (and I did not create any password as far as I can remember).
    I redid the clearing for the power on password by removing the backup battery as suggested at the bottom of this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-59377   but it is no use. Each time I restart, even if I press the blue Think Vantage button or F1 or F11, I still get the same 0271 and 0251 error messages and am left with the power on password prompt. 
    I am really desperate as I really like my lenovo x200 and there is important data on the laptop. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this. Its amazing how a simple update can turn into such a disaster. Now i know i should never upgrade or update my Bios (or at least proceed with extreme caution).
    Anyone can provide some help to get my laptop workin again?
    Thank you very much,
    Mark

  • G50-30 System is unstable after BIOS upgrade

    After installing Windows 7 I decided to upgrade BIOS and picked the proposed update for Windows 7 64bit (http://support.lenovo.com/uu/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/lenovo-g-series-laptops/g50-30-notebook-lenovo). 
    After applying the upgrade system boot failed. This issue was fixed using yapha7's advice (see this thread: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-B-and-G-Series-Notebooks/Lenovo-G50-30-Bios-update-crashed-installed-win-7/m-p/1693051#M32265).
    Well, OS boots. But now I can draw violet lines on a viewport by pressing two mouse buttons simultaneously. WLAN breaks periodically, gets fixed by a reconnection. CPU consumption increases without any resorce-intensive task being launched. It iss understood that latter two issues might not be related to a BIOS upgrade. But they all appeared shortly after the upgrade.
    Also it is not clear if I'm able to use USB 3.0?
    The current BIOS version is A7CN47WW. Is it possible to rollback? Can you provide the original / any stable BIOS version (for Lenovo G50-30 Windows 7 x64) which is prior to the one available at the drivers download page? Thank you!

    hi a_demenkov,
    Just to check, have you considered reinstalling Win7 after you got the issues that you described after flashing the BIOs to v47?
    If you're leaning towards downgrading to the BIOS to v45, try the following:
    1. Boot into the BIOs and enable BIOS Back Flash.
        - Sample image
    2. The BIOS v45 download link is not listed but if you look at the the BIOS v47 file below, you should be able to get v45 by renaming:
    BIOS v47
    https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/a7cn47ww_64.exe
    to
    BIOS  v45
    https://download.lenovo.com/consumer/mobiles/a7cn45ww_64.exe
    If you're not able to flash the BIOS inside Windows then you may need to do it under DOS.

    After Yosemite upgrade, youtube and vimeo videos not playing

    Hey not sure this will help, but I had the same problem, got errors, no video's worked.
    I restarted hitting the OPTION key and chose the server drive to boot from, then repaired disk, then repaired permissions and restarted.
    Youtube then worked afterwards. Hope it works for you!

  • After BIOS Uptade, Computer isn't working

    Hey guys.
    I've a problem. After BIOS update, System haven't worked. I also tried press the cmos button and it haven't worked, too.
    Anyway, I tried remove the BIOS Battery, But I didn't remove this 2 minutes ago. It's cramped.
    When I press the power button It's working for 3 seconds and then stopping. And over and over again it's repeating like this.
    My MBD is: Z97i Gaming AC.
    What should I do?
    Thanks for your oncoming helps.

    I don't think pulling the CMOS battery and power cable out on newer systems is enough to clear the BIOS out and reset everything like what used to be done.  There is typically a jumper on the board you have to set or pull to reset everything.  It's typically called a clear CMOS jumper or something like that.  Look for this in you manual.  Follow the procedure in your manual to clear everything out.
    Having said that, I'm a bit mystified by something here.  I haven't checked the specs on your board so I can't say if you have the option to do what I'm about to ask/say.  But...
    Most new motherboards, including MSI, have dual BIOSes.  If you flash one BIOS and something abnormal happens (such as in your case),  you flip a switch on the motherboard and you use the other BIOS which at this point is untouched.  To an extent, you have two BIOSes.
    On my Z87 Mpower, there are two such BIOSes.  To go in between BIOSes, you flip a switch on the board itself.  I think the BIOSes are labeled 'A' and 'B'.  My motherboard manual specifically calls this a "Multi-BIOS Switch".
    Check your board's manual/documentation and see if this option is present on your board.  Your board is newer than mine.  I'm betting you can do this.
    Try to enable the second BIOS and boot.  If the second BIOS allows your system to boot up normally, go into the BIOS, make a backup of the BIOS to your thumbdrive.  Then, go back to the other BIOS (by using the switch on the motherboard) and load the saved BIOS up which should replace the bad BIOS with the back up version and resolving this. 
    Essentially, the BIOSes will be mirror images of each other once you do this.  Since the second BIOS is probably untouched, if you follow this procedure then the system should basically be exactly the same as when it left the factory.
    If the dual/backup BIOS doesn't let the system boot up, then you have a serious problem which will require more than a forum post I fear.
    Best of luck to you!
    Respectfully,
    Chris

  • Satellite L300 - webcam doesn't work after BIOS upgrade

    I recently upgraded BIOS to 2.2 and the webcam has stopped working. It disappeared and there is one unknown device in the device manager in the universal serial bus controller.
    I tried everything even with new clean fresh Vista OS but nothing like there is no webcam I installed the drivers but not recognized so I would like if I can to downgrade BIOS to 1.5 and to fix the webcam. If I can cos I need it. Is that possible?
    Tnx

    Hi
    I dont think its BIOS issue.
    First of all the unknown device (webcam) appears in the device manager and this means that an device has been recognized by system and BIOS.
    The only reason why its listed as unknown devices is: the driver is not installed properly.
    After BIOS update you have to set the BIOS back to default. Access BIOS pressing F2 and within the BIOS you can use the button F9 to set it to default and F10 to save the changes.
    After that you should boot up the unit and should go to device manager.
    Mark the unknown device and delete it from the list (if possible)
    Go to control panel -> software and check the software list for webcam software (from chicony). Uninstall this software if its part of the list.
    Now reboot the notebook.
    Clean the OS using CCleaner and install the correct webcam software for Vista. Note: please pay attention to 32bit or 64bit version.
    If the installation would fail, try the Toshiba recovery disk and set the notebook back to factory settings.
    By the way: BIOS downgrade is not possible because the old BIOS is not downloadable.

  • Not booting after BIOS upgrade in T500

    I upgraded my T500 from BIOS 3.09 to 3.18 using the windows upgrade utility (6fuj42us.exe?). The upgrade went fine. I rebooted the machine and got the login windows screen (I have windows XP professional). However, the instructions of the BIOS upgrade called to enter into the BIOS and press the F9 key in order to set all the system defaults. After that the machine did not boot. It gives me the initial windows booting screen (windows flags) and then a blue screeen. I downgraded the BIOS to 3.15 using the bootable CD utility (6fuj39uc.iso?). The downgrade went fine. I can get into the BIOS but have exactly the same problem when loading windows. Unfortunately I could not find a similar bootable program for BIOS 3.09 only the windows executable program (6fuj34us.exe?). Is there any fix other than reinstalling windows? Thanks.

    Hi malope,
    please enter the Bios and check the HDD is switched to compatible mode instead of AHCI Mode.
    Maybe than you can start Windows.

    As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs at least OSX 10.5+ and Intel hardware.
    The latest you can use on your Intel with OSX 10.4.11 is Firefox 3.6.25 (released recently) which can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    If you were to update to say OSX 10.5.8 then you can use Firefox 9.0.1

  • K8N Platinum SLI will not do anything after BIOS upgrade! HELP!

    Hi guys,
    I just upgraded my BIOS version using MSI Live Update. I rebooted the system, checked my BIOS settings and proceeded into Windows. Windows re-detected some hardware and said I needed to reboot. Instead I decided to shutdown completely and then power-on again.
    However, the system will no longer display anything! All the fans come on, and I can hear my HDD power-up too, but nothing is displayed on screen and there is no HDD activity. The LEDs on the D-Bracket are showing 1.Red 2.Orange. 3.Red 4.Orange.
    I have disconnected all hardware except my main HD and Graphics Card and reset the BIOS. I did the by using the button and by removing the battery for 10/15 minutes or so. Still no change!
    I have also tried re-seating my Graphics card and RAM, but since I only rebooted - I don't see how anything could have come loose...
    Please help me to diagnose the problem.
    Thanks!
    P.S. I do not overclock at all.

    The only guy I know with an AMD x64 PC lives too far away for me to just pop-over and check the components. My local PC store would charge an arm and a leg to check the PC out and I'm not even sure I would trust them to do it right. As for Best Buy, we don't have those over here in the UK.
    I have an Antec Neopower 480, which is still powering all my case fans and HDDs.
    I am almost certain that the Motherboard or Processor is at fault, so I have ordered a new MOBO. If that doesn't fix it, then I presume it will be the Processor.
    I think it must have been something to do with the BIOS upgrade, it can't just be a coincidence.

  • Lil problem after bios upgrade/flashing

    I have a K9N neo nvidia nforce 550 mainboard and found a new bios upgrade from the msi website using the express download. Ever since ive upgraded, right after startup i get a message in windows saying it found a new PCI device and that i need to install a driver for it, i have 3 pci devices installed rbefore upgrading bios (GPU, Soundcard and wlan card) and theyre all working right now, i have no idea what pci device my pc has found because there is absolutely nothing installed other than those 3.  ???
    Any feedback would be much appreciated, thank you

    Quote from: Ithiot on 05-March-07, 01:40:20
    OK so i installed one of the drivers from the express download function, it was realtec audio device driver (or something), i installed that. but sstill wierd since i dont have that in any pci slot, anyways, im not getting the popup asking me to install unknown device anymore.
    (AMD away driver wouldnt install for some reason, had an error, so i think im gonna leave it at that for now, i dont want any more problems lol...)
    re install chipset drivers, after that if still yellow devices left use program above to ID.

  • K7n2-L wont boot after bios upgrade

    I have been very happy with the motherboard since i bought it in april 2003, been very stable and only had minor usb problems.  And i finally decided to upgrade the bios from v. 3.7 to v. 4.1.
    After the upgrade the machine boots up to the first windows that shows me the memory and the hard disk i have installed.  I can also go into BIOS.
    But the PC stops when its about to start booting up the HD or CDrom. According to the lights on the D-Bracket its trying to initializing the floppy controller.
    There has never been a floppy drive in this PC before(i booted the PC on CDROM when i upgraded the BIOS).
    I have tried  the following things without success;
    installed a floppy drive.
    Cleared the CMOS(with the jumper)
    Unplugged the cdrom and the hard disk.
    Tried every memory configuration.
    jumped the safe mode jumper.
    It seems to me that i can only fix this by changing the BIOS chip....or the mainboard.
    Anyone had this problem?

    Azraeliz,
    Sounds to me like perhaps you've overlooked a setting in the BIOS
    Did you take note of the BIOS settings prior to flashing so you could put the settings back the way they were?
    nuckelavee,
    I suggest you start your own thread. I have a hard time believing there is no CMOS jumper.
    Tried this? ***Starting your K7N2 Delta2 at default settings***

  • KT3 Ultra2 (6380) Problems after BIOS upgrade

    Recently upgrade bios to 5.7 to work with the 2800+ I just got. The flashing process seemed to work without any problems. Upon rebooting of the machine I got the error CMOS\GPNV Bad Checksum. If I choose f2 (load defaults and continue booting) the machine will boot. If I reboot I get nothing....not even video. I have to clear the CMOS to get it to post but I receive the same error message. Im thinking its a memory issue. I have a pc2700 512 module in there currently which has worked fine. I have fiddled with the memory settings w/ no success. What should these settings be in my bios? Also have a geforce 4 video card if that is of any help?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!
    -Matt

    oh anohter thing...
    i got a two short beeps - pause and then another short beep for a mobo error code.
    i find it very strange how if i clear the cmos settings...boot it...hit f2 to load defaults and continue it boots. however after that a cold boot or even a reboot the machine wont even post. I feel the answer lies in there somewheres.....

  • X120e: Suspend problems after BIOS upgrade.

    I have a ThinkPad X120e (0596RZ6), which had BIOS version 1.08, that I have upgraded to 1.16 (8FET32WW).
    I used a CD-ROM to upgrade the BIOS (8fuj09uc.iso) and all went smoothly.
    Now, whenever I try to suspend to RAM while running on battery, it visibly suspends, cannot resume, and drains the battery as quickly as it would while running normally.
    It worked just fine with 1.08, and nothing has changed in the OS that could break it.

    The problem persists after downleveling the BIOS to 1.11. Older versions do not seem to be available for download.
    Please, for the love of God, if you release a BIOS upgrade without properly testing it, then state so clearly so that people do not waste their resources such on frustrating "upgrades."
