BRAND NEW MSI x99s Gaming 7 Won't Boot, Debug Code 00

Just completed my build and my pc won't boot. Everything plugged directly into the psu is working but fans plugged into mother board don't spin and getting debug code 00 nothing displayed on screen.

Hmm ok.
What you could do is: try each stick on its own, in every single DIMM slot. Make note which slots/sticks work or dont work. Then add to 1 (known to work) RAM stick and try moving this single one around all DIMMs again. Do the same until you get a failure or if works fine.
Which slots did you use by the way?

I then added the 4th one back in and now it boots. Any ideas why just switching those 2 positions would change anything??
Maybe for the first time it didnt go all the way down?

MSI X99S MPOWER won't boot (Debug 00) after installing Transcend 256 M.2 SSD

Hey all, as the subject suggests I bought a new MSI X99S Mpower mobo. I put together a new system with it without any problems using my old SSD. I received a new M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) once I installed it the system would no longer boot. I removed the M.2 SSD and the unit will now still not boot. I power on and the LED just displays 00.

what bios version you are using?
can you list the exact M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) mode/part number?

MSI X99S GAMING 7 - slow booting; HDD aren´t recognized in BIOS

Hi,
i´m facing a similar Problem as it is described in "MSI X99A Gaming 7 and Samsung SM951 PCI-e very slow boot time" https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=255919.0
My rig:
- i7 5930k
- X99S Gaming 7 (BIOS h90)
- PALIT GTX 980 Super Jetstream
- OCZ revodrive 3 x2 240 GByte (System disk)
- Corsair Force 3 120 GByte (game disk)
- 2x SAMSUNG HD501LJ 500 GByte (SATA 3GB/s)
- 1 LG Electronics BH16NS40
- 16 GByte Corsair Vengeance LPX schwarz DIMM Kit 16GB, DDR4-2666, CL15-17-17-35 (CMK16GX4M4A2666C15)
- 1000W power supply
- ANTEC P193 case
- G19 Keyboard
- MX518 Mouse.
I assembled it yesterday and during the first booting sequence it restarted 3 times.
After that it took 5 minutes to be on the Windows Desktop. Furthermore I recognized that all the HDDs and the optical drive weren´t available.
I tried to activate them in the Windows System - with no result. Than I checked the BIOS, they weren´t present there.
At the end i checked the HDDs only with the power supply, they booted. As soon as I connect them with the SATA cable they stand still - no spin up hear-able.
Now The BluRay and the HDDs are disconnected, the booting sequence is a Little bit faster (still 3 minutes).
In the BIOS I only activated the XMP-Profile für the RAM and I changed the booting sequence for the REVODRIVE.
May someone has any hint for me, how to deal with this Problem - but as I stated at the very beginning: it sounds similar to me.
Best regards from Austria
Gerald
P.S.: I apologize for "hijacking" - I tried to simplify the Forum by merging similar issues.

Your explanation isn't very helpful.
Your third try you got the Revodrive, corsair, and optical running? Meaning that you could boot multiple times and have it all work correctly?
I hate saying it, but if you aren't going to be descriptive, we aren't going to be very much help.
For what it's worth, I'm starting to think that the Revodrive and the motherboard do not work well together.
Personally, I would also consider contacting MSI directly about the issue. They might be able to issue a new BIOS that improves compatibility.

MSI X99S XPOWER won't boot after a Windows 8.1 Update

Hi all, two days ago I was using my PC as normally and Windows needed to restart because of an update from Windows Update. It restarted and won't be able to boot again. I get a 04 debug code (Power on South Bridge Initialization) and I've tried clearing CMOS, without SSD/HDD... and there is no way.
I'm reading something about an Intel drivers update that can modify the firmware, do you know anything about it?
Board: MSI X99S XPOWER
Bios: Version 1.4
VGA: MATRIX GTX 780Ti
PSU: Enermax Platimax 850W
Intel Core i7 5820K
MEM: G.Skill 32GB in 4 sticks (8 GB each) @2400 MHz XMP
HDD: OCZ Vertex 450 256GB
COOLER: Akasa Venom Vodoo
OC: 4 GHz 1.15v
OS: Windows 8.1 x64
Thanks

Windows is not corrupted, I've tried that SSD on another computer without problems and in my computer without HDD/SSD and won't boot anyway.
If I'm able to boot with the secondary BIOS, I'll recover the first one by the following steps:
Quote
BIOS recovery with AFUDOS command
When BIOS updating fails or causes the computer non-bootable, you can recover the
failed BIOS by the steps below.
Preparation:
1. Prepare a bootable USB flash drive.
2. Download the latest BIOS file from the MSI official website at www.msi.com, and
then decompress the file.
3. Copy the AFUDE238.exe and the BIOS file to the bootable USB flash drive
BIOS recovery steps:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the functional BIOS ROM.
3. Insert the bootable USB flash drive you have made to the USB port.
4. Boot the computer into the bootable USB flash drive.
5. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the failed BIOS ROM.
6. Execute the below command to flash the BIOS:
For example: AFUDE238 EXXXXIMS.XXX
7. Restart the computer after the BIOS flashing is complete.
Important
Do not use the Multi-BIOS switch when system is booting up.
But I have a doubt with the "Important" note because I need to change from safe BIOS to failed BIOS with the PC booted, right? So I'll use the Multi-BIOS switch with the system up...
Thanks a lot

Brand new iMac 27 2011 won't boot after Lion upgrade

Got a brand new iMac 27 2011 yesterday and did an update to 10.6.8 first before installing OSX Lion over it...
After restarting it just shows then the "prohibitive icon" on screen and shuts down after few seconds...
It won't even boot from an USB stick with the OSX Lion image on it...
Recovery partition works but can't do a reinstall from there....
So going back to 10.6.8 now...

Just so you know I purchased brand new imac in July and did the same upgrade as you. I just installed Lion but did not have any issues. Only one concern overall though, it slowed down my new imac a bit. Not sure if there are settings or not but Leopard was faster than this. AppStore, iTunes are eating lot of memory and CPU util goes up.

Brand New MacBook Pro 15" Won't Boot from CD only

This Macbook (which I just bought today) seems to refuse to boot CDs.
- Booting from the normal hard drive works fine.
- Loading the CD from the OS when booting from the hard drive works fine (I can interact with the CDs normally)
- Same problem with Apple OS disk & self-burned TechTool Pro disk
I've tried resetting the PRAM three times now. Any idea what's wrong?

Hmm, I hadn't tried booting the system restore CDs that came with it. Turns out they work just fine. The two CDs I was trying to boot (but aren't working) are:
- Micromat TechTool Pro 5.0.4 (self-burned on a Gigaware DVD-R)
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard OEM (bought independent of this machine when Snow Leopard was first released)
I've since tried resetting the SMC by another Apple Support article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) to see if that helps. My TechTool DVD still won't boot, and I haven't tried the Snow Leopard disc yet, but the CDs that came with the MacBook work fine.
It's also interesting in "how" it "doesn't work".
(By CD in the following points, I mean the TechTool CD):
1. I insert the CD when the system is running normally. I can install TT, and browse the contents of the CD without issue.
2. I restart the machine, holding down the Option key. Both my HD and the TT CD appear as bootable options. I select the CD.
3. I get the grey Apple, but the "spinning wheel" never appears. After a few minutes, all noise from the super drive dies, and the system sits there interminably.
Both the burned TT and Snow Leopard CDs boot just fine on my girlfriends older 13" white MacBook. Any reason why mine would boot some CDs and not others, when the others boot fine on other systems?

Please help - Brand new 8831 conf phone won't boot

Not sure how to troubleshoot these new phones, but when I power the phone via wall power (power cube) or 48v POE, the phone LEDs stay on for a second or two then go out, and then the phone does nothing. No display or additional blinking lights - nothing. At first I thought it was a bad power cube, so I tested on a working POE, and nothing. I'm wondering if this was shipped DOA or what. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Try the suggestions as per the following post including a factory reset, if it still fails it will need a RMA.

Msi x99 gaming 9 ack problems

ok got my new msi x99 gaming 9 ack with i7 5930k and g.skill 2400 ram
got my corsair ax1200i
so my problems i have been working on this all night near enough but today we have progress.
so problem is when i put ram in slot 1 would not post debug 04/55/60 no keyboard or signal to monitor. so i have finally got it working and got into the bios by put just one stick in slot 5. tried all 4 sticks in slot 5 but one failed at 6f so i think now one stick is faulty. but back to main problem with slot one.
once i had it booting up i switched off system and added 1 stick in slot one.
and it would not post debug 04/55/60.
so do i ram it or do you think bios update will fix this problem thanks in advance

Last night the exact same problem occurred to my Gaming 9 ACK.
Board worked flawlessly for three months with a 5960X processor, quad channel G.Skill 3.33 memory ( 16gb- 4x4 ) and four msi GTX980 gaming in quad sli mode.
Turned off the pc last night, and today, upon start the pc did not boot.
04-55-60-04 and all over again.
Memory modules are populated in slots 1-3-5-7. After several try and error efforts, slot 7 is blocking the system from booting. All four modules checked and are fine.
Removed module in slot 7 and booted. No problem there.
After entering windows 7 environment, a second even bigger surprise surfaced.
NO SLI. Device manager sees only gtx980 in slot 1 and nothing else.
New tests.
Only pci-e slot 1 works. All others are non functional.
So I am with an 8000$ pc, which works with 12gb triple channel memory and one VGA.
Obviously motherboard has gone south.
What now ???

MSI X99S Gaming 7 Won't Boot

Hi -
I just recently purchased an X99S motherboard. I put it all together, and all was fine for about 24 hours. I updated the BIOS and then started running a defrag and left the machine on while I went to work. When I got home, the machine was off. It's not responding to the power button the board or on my case. If I turn the power off on my PSU and turn it back on and hit the power switch, I get a split second flash of lights and then nothing. I initially thought that it was my power supply so I bought a new one. I got that installed and same thing. One thing to note is that the MSI LED up by the 24 pin connector is on red. I've already tried the secondary BIOS and I have removed all of the memory except the DIMM in Slot 7. I haven't yet tried to remove the board from the case yet and tried it on a non conductive surface. I just wanted to get some thoughts on that debug LED that is currently on. I believe the motherboard has just died, but wanted to run it by someone first.
Here are my specs:
Board: MSI X99S Gaming 7
Bios: Version 14.7
VGA: MSI GTX980 Gaming
PSU: EVGA 1000 Watt G2
CPU: Intel Core i7-5930K 3.5GHz
MEM: Corsair Vengeance 2666 4x4gb CMK16GX4M4A2666C16
HDD: PNY 256GB SSD
COOLER: Corsair CWCH60 Water Cooler
OC: None
OS: Windows 8.1 64bit

Take it out of the case, place on non conductive surface (wooden table, motherboard box) and run it then. Also try with single RAM stick in every RAM slot.
Try clearing CMOS >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Also make sure all power connectors are properly fitted in.
What way did you update the BIOS? Also was it successful?

MSI x99 Gaming 7 Crashing during Windows UEFI Boot

Hello everyone,
I'm dealing with a strange problem here and i cannot seem to find any solution. Yesterday i updated my m/b bios from H.8 to H.9 and everything worked fine but 30 minutes later during some regular windows and drivers updates i restarted the machine only to find it crashing during windows loading logo when booting. I initially thought to be something about the new bios update (or windows/drivers updates) so i switched to the back-up bios ,updated it to H.8 (which i was using before) and did a quick format but the problem still occurs.
I pinpointed the problem to be something in the bios (bios update resets settings to defaults both when i updated to H.9 for the main bios & H.8 for the backup bios) and the UEFI settings for windows 8.1 since it doesn't occur when i disable the "Windows 8/8.1 Feature". What exactly does this feature do? The only difference i saw was the loading logo , now i see MSI red/black picture with the small circle-dots loading instead of a Black screen with white MSI logo if i enable the feature.
My system is new (three months old) and i never had any crash or lock-up anywhere (nor it is overclocked). All settings in the bios are default except the "Boot Mode Select" is UEFI and the "MSI Fast boot" is enabled. Windows 8.1 64Bit are installed in UEFI mode.
-MSI X99 Gaming 7
-Intel I7 5820k + Corsair H110
-G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 16GB
-Gigabyte 970 G1 Gaming SLI
-Samsung 850 Pro 256GB
-EVGA SuperNOVA 1000 G2

Ok ,seem to have some updates:
First of all i was wrong about the SATA ports i was using (my second GPU blocks the view of the ports).
- SSD was connected to SATA3 while the other two HDD's to SATA10 & 9
I first disabled Samsung RAPID mode (you never know). Then i changed the SSD from SATA3 to SATA1 port and didn't connected the other 2HDD's at all. Enabled the "Windwos 8/8.1 feature" & Secure Boot and quickly did 4-5 restarts from the bios and from Windows, even a cold boot. No crashes but i need to do more reboots to make sure it doesn't occur any more. Then i will connect the other two HDD's and check for crashes.
Update#1 . Ok my other two HDD's are connected to SATA ports 3 & 4. After 3-4 restarts & 2 cold boots everything seems fine , no crashes at all. I don't know if maybe after 10 restarts it will occur but i'm confident enough that it should already be present now. So it seems that either Samsung Rapid Mode is responsible or the other SATA ports.
Update#2 . So Samsung Rapid Mode seems to work fine, again no crashes at all. This is getting really weird. So that leaves me with the Sata ports ,now i don't know if i need to change again sata ports to recreate the problem or leave it as it is (working) but then again if it's indeed the SATA ports then maybe something is faulty. Either way i'll check it. :/
Update#3 . I think i came to a conclusion. SATA ports 7-10 seem to have the problem.
- I reconnected everything to the original ports i was using (SSD to SATA3 and 2xHDD's to SATA10 & 9) .The crash happens the second time i restart the PC.
- Moved SSD to SATA1 , crash happens again at the second boot.
- Moved the 2xHDD's to SATA 7&8 ,crash happens at first boot.
- Moved the 2xHDD's to SATA 3&4 . NO Crash occurs.
I have no idea what's going on, the manual states that SATA 7-10 support only IDE mode and AHCI (SATA 1-6 supports RAID 0,1,5,10). For the record i do not use RAID.
So what is the problem? I didn't have any issues at all with the previous configuration. Did any of the SATA port's became faulty when using the "Windows 8/8.1 feature" after the bios update? Should i ask for a replacement?
The last thing i could try is to unistall the Intel Rapid Storage. MSI's drivers site for this m/b has the 13.1.0.1058 version while Intel has 13.6.0.1002 but they do not work as it says platform is not supported. I have the MSI's version installed all this time.

If you familiar with flashing bios, you can try use the second bios to recover the first one.
Manuel has some guide...

When BIOS updating fails or causes the computer non-bootable, you can recover the
failed BIOS by the steps below.
Preparation:
1. Prepare a bootable USB flash drive.
2. Download the latest BIOS file from the MSI official website at www.msi.com, and
