Both BIOS's wont boot - New x99s OC MPower board

I recently built a new computer and used the following parts, all from NewEgg:
Intel Core i7-5820K 3.3GHz 6-Core Processor
be quiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 93.3 CFM Fluid Dynamic Bearing CPU Cooler
MSI X99S MPOWER ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2133 Memory [two, RAID 0'd]
SAMSUNG 840 EVO MZ-7TE250BW 2.5" 250GB SATA 6Gb/s 1x nm Samsung Toggle DDR 2.0 3-Bit MLC NAND Flash Memory (400Mbps) Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
WD BLACK SERIES WD1003FZEX 1TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
EVGA GeForce GTX 980 4GB ACX 2.0 Video Card
Phanteks Enthoo Pro ATX Full Tower Case
EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
After some hiccups, the computer was working like a charm... until this morning.
Now BIOS B only cycles between codes 04 and 55 [Early Memory] (and everything in between) while BIOS A gets stuck at 67 [Late CPU]. I have tried every possible option including:
*swapping out each memory stick leaving only 2 in the right positions, when they are in the wrong positions the code displays 30
*disconnecting all other parts including GPU and SATA's
*removing the heatsink and reslotting the CPU
*a failed attempt at flashing the BIOS (useless since it won't boot to begin with.)
I maybe should mention that my first CPU was not a Haswell-E core but a Haswell. This CPU would not boot and got stuck on 60. The Haswell-E core worked just fine for about 2 days, then this happened.
I had installed all necessary drivers for the motherboard and Live Update 6 that updated the BIOS. Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver would not start for some reason, if it matters.
Anyone know what could be wrong? Do I need to RMA the board?

Isn't that exactly what MSI Live Update is intended for?
www [dot] msi [dot] com/page/Live-Update-5-Manual
Regardless, I let it do what it needed to do...
Supposed to be OK for chipset drivers and such but not for BIOS.

975x wont boot - new parts

Hi all, im new to this forum but it seems great, i read around abit and found some useful posts.
However, i have the following setup :
Msi 975x
c2d 6400
2gb corsair xms 6400 c4 ( 2*1gb )
7900gs PoV
Aspire 550 psu
I just put the parts toghether again, after having the parts returned to vendor, he claims the first cpu didnt work, and returned the motherboard while i waited for a new cpu to arrive. When i got it i tried the system again, but the following error is still there ;
The system wont boot, other than the fans will spin up but no screen at all, just stands there, when i use the usb led thingy, it shows 4 red dots.
I saw some posts about OCZ memory that wont work, but those were reported as memory issues by the led if im correct, and as i can see it arent 4 red dots the code for CPU , or can the code be wrong and its still the memory ?
The new cpu i got was in an unopened box so it was really new, but i refuse to believe i have broken 2 cpus or have recieved 2 dead cpu from vendor.
Any ideas would be very much welcome.
Cheers // Baboon

Baboon,
You're not the only one surprised.
I bought THREE 975X PUEs and every time I have re-visited the MSI website I have found new caveats for something the board won't do, or for something that won't work, or for something not included . . . no fixes, mind you, just oddly worded "escape clauses".
Here are some examples:
MSI Reminds You...
• DDR2 800 needs to work with Intel Conroe CPU with FSB1066.
• The default memory frequency is DDR2 667, you can set to 800 in BIOS settings.
• Due to the BIOS limits, the Intel RAID and the JMicron RAID functions can not be enabled at the same time, which will cause the system unable to boot up.
• The RAID setup floppy disk is optional depending on the districts. You can download the files from the website to make the setup disk.
• To enhance IDE transfer speed, you may install JMicron IDE/SATA Driver. You may download the driver by clicking the "Driver" icon at the left side.
• The floppy disk cable will be optional.
Yep, the first one was a big surprise to a lot of us sticking in our P4s. Hello? Well, OK, maybe the "CPU Support Chart" should have been the "CPU Semi-Support Chart".
OK, I'll even give MSI the first one. But the third bullet! Now that one just flat makes me laugh!
Beta Board! MSI didn't design this Board, it just kinda "happened".

Installing RAM, 3gb works fine, 4gb wont boot.

I am trying to upgrade the RAM in an aluminium 24" iMac. I have 2x2gb sticks, both DDR2-800 PC2-6400.
When I install them both, the computer wont boot.
If I install just one new stick, and leave the original stick in there, it boots fine.
If I install either of the new sticks, but NOT the original, it wont boot.
The extra strange thing, is that I have done the same upgrade procedure on 2 older (white) iMacs, with the same spec sticks. Both the older machines have no issues, other than the RAM only showing up as 667mhz, not 800mhz.
Any ideas? I don't think it's the RAM itself, as either stick works when installed in conjunction with the original stick.
Could the iMac be struggling with trying to run 800mhz RAM? Seems unlikely to me, as the older iMacs are doing it fine.

cruci wrote:
All I can think of that explains the behaviour is that on the older machine, which has a 667 bus speed, it doesn't try to use the RAM at 800, but on the newer machine (which has a 800 bus) if both RAM slots are filled with 800, it tries and fails.
Nope. Although the ALU iMacs have an 800 MHz Front Side Bus,
the memory controller hardware runs only at 667 MHz:
[Apple Developer Note -- ALU iMacs|http://developer.apple.com/documentation/HardwareDrivers/Conceptual/iMac0708/Articles/ProductDeveloperNote.html#//appleref/doc/uid/TP90004829]
This is pure speculation, but I suspect that the problem might
be related to the ALU iMac firmware. RAM modules have a small
"SPD chip" ([Serial Presence Detect|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SerialPresenceDetect]) that the OS interrogates
for information about the module. My guess is that some iMac
models can't deal with memory sticks that report perfectly
valid but "unexpected" SPD information.
There have been several recent posts by owners reporting the
same strangeness whereby upgrade modules work individually
but not in pairs -- even with 667 MHz parts that appear to
conform perfectly to Apple's recommended specs.
FWIW, I've had good luck with Mushkin's "PerfectMatch" memory
designed specifically for Apple. A Mushkin tech-support droid
told me that Mushkin programs the SPD with exactly the same
information as Apple-supplied memory modules. (Please supply
your own grain of salt.)
[Mushkin 'PerfectMatch' for Apple -- 4GB kit @ $60 after MIR|http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820146701]
BTW, resellerratings.com ranks Mushkin and Newegg "Platinum Plus."
good luck,
Looby

After v1.90 BIOS update Satellite Pro A300-1EA wont boot up

I have just upgraded my laptop to the new BIOS as stated in the title but after doing it my computer now wont boot up at all. I just get a blue screen with it asking me to do a CHKDSK because there might be a virus or that the hard drive isn't connected properly (when it is), and it just keeps rebooting.
It wont start in safe mode either. Anyone else had the same problem and if so, how do I get my laptop back?? :(
Thanks for any replies.

Please don't be mad on me but I think you really didn't read users manuals you got with your notebook. There is exactly described how you can have factory settings again.
So, now you are 100% sure that recovery image is not on the HDD but you don't know how to have factory settings again. Strange.
Remove battery, connect AC adapter only and disconnect all attached external devices.
Start your notebook and enter BIOS settings. Set it to default settings and try to start OS again.
What happen exactly?

K9N Diamond - Wont boot after BIOS update

Just attempted to update the BIOS on my PC and it now wont boot. Used LiveUpdate with the Windows flash option (don't have FD drive). The lights on the D-Bracket 2 get as far as LED 2 Green, 1,3,4 Red. I have already tried to Clear CMOS with no joy.
Any suggestions on how to proceed much appreciated - and yes, I already know, I've probably done something stupid
Thanks
Grant.

power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU, push several times power button to drain capacitors, then Clear CMOS and leave only one memory stick into DIMM slot close to CPU socket. pull back power cord and try to boot.
in a future do not update the BIOS for no reason....(only becouse its new, only becouse new BIOS maybe got a new logo and e.g...)
Looks like I'm back in business now. I found similar instructions at this location http://www.bosamar.com/K9N/trouble.html and followed the First Procedure.
Booted ok with one mem stick, in bios fail safe mode. I counted 7 short beeps while booting then one long beep. Not sure if this is ok. Read about bios beeps here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=82221.0 and the final long beep seems to indicate a pass???. Anyway, Vista appeared to come up ok and I checked everything in the hardware device manager and all looked fine.
Proceed to reboot with all mem sticks back in place, again same beeps but Vista coming up ok.
Next I switched bios to optimized defaults, but now 6 short beeps - no long beep. Windows looks ok. 6 beeps appear to indicate a keyboard problem, but kbd seems to work fine???
System looks ok now, but not sure if i should look into those beeps a bit more? BIOS now at 1.3, should I leave as is or revert to an earlier revision?
One thing I know that I am going to do is to install the FD drive from my old PC
Thanks for all the help.
BTW, the reason I did the BIOS flash was as a last resort to get my sound to work. Tried the various creative driver as suggest elsewhere on this forum but without success (as of yet there is no official vista compatible audio driver for my mb from MSI). The JAUD1 connector looks to be connected as specified in manual (but no audio from either the front nor real panel audio connectors).

Have you tried to reseat the VGA into PCI-e slot?
is there error code indicator onboard? if so what it does shows?
have you tried with different video card?

I have recently purchased a hybred 750GbHDD as an upgrade for my MAC Book Pro (Intell Version) I have a boot camp partition to the original 500GB HDD. How can I expand both partitions to fit the new drive?

I have recently purchased a hybred 750GbHDD as an upgrade for my MAC Book Pro (Intell Version) I have a boot camp partition to the original 500GB HDD. How can I expand both partitions to fit the new drive?
I have tried bootcamp and have had no luck due to the fact that boot camp doesn't see the additional HDD space of 250Gb. What am I not doing?

Ouch, well there is a problem.
This is the stack of partitions on your old drive
EFI (hidden)
Lion (50GB say)
Bootcamp (50GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
This is the same stack on your new drive imaged from the old one.
EFI (hidden)
Lion (50GB say)
Bootcamp (50GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
Emtpy Space (100GB say)
This is what you want
EFI (hidden)
Lion (100GB say)
Bootcamp (100GB say)
Lion Recovery Partiton (hidden)
EFI has to be at the top of the drive and Lion Recovery has to be at the bottom of the drive.
And you only have four partitions.
You can't move the Lion Recovery Partition or Bootcamp partiton, however you can expand the Lion Partition into empty space below it. (but can't delete or move the Lion Recovery partition)
Your Duplicator duplicated perfectly, too perfectly Likely would work with same sized drives/partitions.
This is what your going to need to do.
You need to move the Bootcamp partition to a blank external drive using WinClone and disconnect. This is so you have two backups of it. (one on your old 500GB drive)
You will need a drive enclousre or IDE/SATA to USB adapter cable for the older 500GB drive and option key boot from it. (some enclosures can't be booted from so check first Other World Computing is good place to ask)
Download the free Carbon Copy Cloner, grab any new files off the new 750GB internal drive to the old 500GB your booted from.
Open Apple's Disk Utility and Erase with Zero option the entire internal 750GB drive and let it rip, this will map off as many bad sectors and improve reliability.
Now use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the 500GB Lion + Lion Recovery Partitions to the internal 750GB, it will "fix" things and place Lion Recovery at the bottom of the drive where it belongs, give all the extra space to OS X Lion.
Next your going to have to follow WinClones instructions to restore your Bootcamp, likely you will have to recreate the Bootcamp partition first (in Bootcamp) to the size you want and then clone. Likely Winclone may "fix" Windows to recognize it's in a new larger partition now. I don't know you'll have to check as I haven't used it.
When Bootcamp creates the partition it will place it near the bottom next to the Lion Recovery Partition.
As you know you will have to re-validate Windows with Lord Redmond or it expires as you changed the hardware.

M30x bios does not detect hard drive, wont boot from HD

Can someone help me in this issue.
My Sat m30x wont boot from Hard Drive, instead tries to boot from network.
Tried to load setup defaults and Hd wont show on the settings
tried to reistal origin CD software by toshiba and the message no target drive displays
Can this be a hardware problem, some damaged fisical conection, or is it a bios problem
thanks in advance for some ligth on this problem

My M30x has the same problem. I just have used it for 2 months.
I sent it to the repair center as I was told to do, because it has warranty.
I'm still waiting for a response from them. I don't know what caused it.

Created 3 partitions on new Mac Mini, deleted one, and now Bootcamp wont boot anymore! Need help please!

Here's my dilemma. I have a new Mac Mini - a week old. I installed Windows 7 on it using Mac's Bootcamp assistant. I then set up and configured my Windows 7 world and everything worked fine. No issues logging in between Lion or Win7 via the restart/option key procedure. Well, yesterday I split my Mac HD partition one more time to create a third partition (was created as an "extra", e.g. possible future partition for another operating system). After creating it, I then decided that I didn't really need it. So I deleted it in Disk Utility and attempted to drag the Mac HD partition line downward so as to "fill in the gap" and reclaim the lost hardrive space. It seemed as if I could reclaim about 1 gig or so, but I figured...oh well.
Well, the Mac HD partition seems to work just fine, but now I've noticed that I can't get into the Bootcamp partition anymore. It wont boot. If I try to verify the partition [doesn't even give me "repair" as an option), then it fails and gives me the following error message: "verify volume failed. invalid request." When I go to the Startup Disk option in my System Preferences section, it displays the bootcamp partition as a folder and not as a drive anymore.
I'm assuming that I messed up some permissions or lost some vital links during my attempted resizing/reclaiming of harddrive space. How do I fix this without having to reload either all of my Mac info or all or my Win7 info? I'd hate to consider the last two days of my life loading this crap up a complete loss.
Thanks in advance!

Hi surroundsound,
you can't put more partitions on internal HD once you install winOS with Boot Camp.
The sure fix is to delete the windows partition (with Boot Camp Assistant, not Disk Utility), then getting rid of the extra partition (with Disk Utility).
then you can re-install your win& (recreate the win. partition with Boot Camp) - don't add any partitions after.

Sorry genius.....but if the Recovery disk shows up that means the disk cable isn't bad. Could be he did have a screwed up HDD and when he put the NEW HDD in (after putting the OS on it via USB) the computer didn't reconize it and therefore didn't boot the OS. Just maybe right genius? Don't rush to criticize someone's recommendations until you realize other possibilities. (I did say "if it does")

Satellite P100-240 wont boot up after failed BIOS update

Hi, let me just start by saying im an idiot....
Dowloaded a few drivers for my toshiba p100 240 and noticed there was a BIOS update, i downloaded it and ran the program only for it to come up with
an error that it will only allow the Administrator to run program. My laptop became slow and would not allow me to turn it off by any means. In the end i took out the
battery and restarted only to find a blank screen, no start up or anything on screen.
I fear i have totally killed my machine and its about 4 months out of warrenty, Im sure there is no cheap miricle cure for this but if anyone can give me my options here I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for your time,
Martin.

Hi mate,
Thats a bit of a problem... If your machine really wont boot up and no screen comes up, then your BIOS was probably damaged.
I would really recommend you to contact an [authorized service partner|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_whitepaper.jsp?service=EU&WHITEPAPER_ID=0 000000871] and tell them your problem. Maybe they can do something for. I mean, your machines hardware is ok, and its just some BIOS related thing.
Hope your machine will work again..

Clarify something for us here. Does your computer boot and you can enter bios and windows screen is loading ? Or is the screen black and nothing really happens, except the power comes on ?
