Building new Z77A-GD65, i3 3220 and it won't boot.

All new components, Z77A-GD65 with i3 3220 CPU and it will not boot. When I tried to boot, it would run the fans up to about half speed, light all the green diagnostics LEDs, indicate FF in the Multi BIOs display and then it would power-down for a few seconds and then it would try to post again and again, repeating. Then, just to be certain that I was certain I replaced the CPU cooler, disconnected the two wire start switch and started it with the start button.
I'd like comments on the above diagnostic process, did I shoot myself in the foot along the way? What HAS to be connect to the motherboard for the post to complete?
What I done so far: Since all are new parts I exchanged several.
1. Exchanged power supply.
2. I took the motherboard to MSI RMA service in Walnut, CA and they checked out and told me it was okay. The next day a MSI tech at Customer Service told me that only the latest BIOs update would support the i3 3220 CPU so I went back to MSI and they confirmed that the i3-3220 CPU was supported.
I would appreciate some suggestions about what to do.
Thank You,
cJerry

Did MSI verify that bios A5 or newer was installed on the main board?
Try building the computer on a non-conductive surface outside of the case. Install one stick of ram in DIMM 2, the cpu, the cooler and hook your monitor to the onboard vga.

You have to consider the possibility the hard drive may be dying. If your data isn't backed up, try one of the tools below:

Once you are sure your data is backed up, we can examine other possibilities. In the meantime call AppleCare for your original installation DVDs. You may need them.

Imac startup disc is full and it won't boot up. what can I do?

My imac's startup disc is full and it won't boot up...thanks to my daughter uploading a million pictures. What do I do to fix this? We do have an external harddrive as well, but things haven't been moved over in a while.

You'll need to have access to another Mac. Connected the two with a Firewire cable and boot your iMac into Target Disk Mode, Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Now you'll have access to your iMac's boot drive where you can download the necessary files to an external HD that is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) and then delete from the boot drive to give you a minimum of 10-15 GB of free space.
One can move both your iPhoto and iTunes libraries to the EHD to free up space on the boot drive and run the libraries from there. However, it must be formatted as I described above.

4.4 - 4.7, maybe 4.8 depending on your CPU. Recommended limit for everyday as a 'maximum' of applied CPU V. is 1.400v's or less.
thank you will keep that in mind. Ive settled for a 4.2 stable. its more than efficient for my applications.
Cheers and regards

New Z77A-GD65 - No Onboard Audio

I've just purchased a MSI Z77A-GD65 BIOS version 10.8 which is running on Windows 8 Pro x64. I am unable to get the onboard sound to work (ALC898).
It is detected in device manager as RealTek HighDefinition Audio. I've installed the latest drivers. In the Realtek display panel the Digital output is enabled and the front jack and backpanel are greyed out.
I disabled the "Front jack panel detection" which enabled the front panel output, but the sound coming from my headphones is like someone scratching their nails on a blackboard (screeching).
I am unable to get the backpanel to be detected at all.
What i have tried:
1. Enable/Disable in BIOS
2. BIOS update
3. MSI and Realtek drivers (Latest)
4. Different speakers/headphone (all work in other devices)
5. Setup the PC outside the case
None of which have solved my problem.
At the moment i'm using an ASUS Xonar DX so i have sound, but i'd like to have all the features of my motherboard available.
Could this be a hardware failure?
Jack.

Speakers are set standard device and still no sound sounds like a (maybe win8 related) software issue or even hardware failure. Normally setting Headphones (front) and Speakers (back) to standard device should be sufficient to switch between those. Try deactivating digital audio. Also the Xonar needs to be removed as you had it installed in your screenshot try:

Thanks.
I tried now, but still no audio. It's as before.
Here is a screen shot
Digital is disabled and even though my speakers are plugged into the Green output on the back of the motherboard it's not registering in Windows.

Z77A-GD65 SDD drive and RAID5

Hi,
First sorry for my english, I'm a poor french guy
For start my system :
Board: Z77A-GD65
Bios: Version X.X
VGA: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS
PSU: Corsair HX - 620W
INTEL i7-3770k 3.5ghz - 8mo cache - turboboost - graphic hd 4000 - socket lga1155 bx80637i73770k
MEM: CORSAIR DDR3 PC3-12800 - 4 x 4 Go (16Go) 1600 MHz - CAS 9 - Vengeance Dissipateur Low Profile
HDD: SSD SAMSUNG 840 PRO - SATA III - 128 Go - MZ-7PD128BW
COOLER: Noctua NH-U12P SE2
OS: Windows 7 64bit Professional
In addition to that I have three Western Digital Caviar Green S-ATA - 1000 Go - 64 Mo in order to create RAID5 array. But here is trouble, let me explain.
My system work fine with BIOS SATA option in AHCI mode but if I set RAID mode (to create my RAID5 array) then I don't know what to do... SSD drive installed with AHCI didn't work with RAID mode, so I tried to reinstall windows with RAID mode but installation stops in the middle (just after reboot).
Do you have a solution for me?
Thanks a lot.

Use the top one, the latter is for certain Intel boards I believe although I am not sure. Perhaps M for mobile? I dunno.
The latest Raid drivers can be found here:

I just bought a new Mac Mini 2.5 and it won't connect to the internet.

I got my new Mac mini set up but it won't load the connection, System Preferences Network says it's connected and I compared it to my old Mac Mini and everything matches up (IP address matches except last 3 digits). I open Safari or iTunes and they try to connect but no luck, on Safari the blue bar moves in the address line but stops and nothing happens. I'm on my old mini now so I I'm not having a problem wiht my provider, oh and I've got an ethernet connection to a Motorola surfboard. Any idea what is wrong?

Reset PMU and Powerbook won't boot past the blue screen with "Mac OSX" box

Hi-
Problem: I tried to reset my PMU, and now when my computer restarts it won't go past the blue screen with the "Mac OSX" logo in the box (and progress bar, that never fills up). I then also tried to reset PRAM, but it still won't boot properly.
Backstory--
I've had my 12-inch Powerbook G4 for about 3.5 years already, so things are starting to get a bit out of whack. I replaced my battery about 3 months ago, which has been great, but recently my power-cord has been wonky (having to unplug it and replug it in to make sure it actually charges the computer, the light flickers on and off, etc). Today it actually started producing SPARKS at the place where the thin white wire meets the white plastic power brick, so I decided it was time to get a new one. Brought it home, plugged it in, and since it seemed like the battery indication icon on the menu bar was all out of sync with the powercord colored-light, I tried restarting it a few times, but still the same. Then, I decided to reset the PMU, which may have been a huge mistake. And now it won't boot past the blue screen... Any advice? I'm going to try restarting it in "safe" mode, but I'd be so grateful for any recommendations. Hope I haven't done something irreversibly stupid with the PMU reset.
Thanks,
Samantha

Hello all,
Thanks for all of your great suggestions and info-- here are a few responses.
1) The disk I just borrowed from my friend appears to be the full retail version-- it looks just like the links that Ali B sent, and is in a large box saying "Mac OSX Tiger, version 10.4"... will this be the proper disk to do an Erase and Install? The only other disks I have came with my Powerbook when it was originally purchased, when it came Panther (I think, 10.3?). Would I use both sets of these disks to do erase and install? Or only the Tiger OSX disks?
2) I get the sense that Disk Warrior or Tech Tool might be necessary, but does it make sense to TRY to do erase-install before buying them? Also, are there any downloadable (for pay) versions of this, or would I need to track down the actual physical disks in Hong Kong or wait for them to be shipped?
3) I haven't yet tried the S.M.A.R.T. test, should I do that first? What is the procedure? Are there any results or ways to know if the drive is too far gone (so that I might instead replace the internal hard-drive) instead of pay 100 USD first to do the disk repair?
4) Cornelius said: "An alternative would be to completely reformat and erase the entire HDD, then re-install and restore your data from backup. If your backup is in the form of a bootable clone of the entire HDD, you can just clone it back." I use Super-Duper to back-up and the most recent one copied the whole thing-- what would be the later procedure of "cloning it back"?
5) As I'm able to use my computer pretty normally right now, but does it still mean that it might crash/die at any moment? Is there any way to tell?
Thanks so much!

Replaced hdd and system won't boot up.

I replaced my hard drive in my hp dv7 laptop and went through the recovery process and it will not boot up. When I turn on it freezes up at the hp screen.
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello,
1. I would suggest taking it to a computer shop and having them take a look at it or run system diagnostic.
2. Your new hard drive could be bad or defective, might have gone out or something got way to hot inside there and got toasted.
3. You need to reinstall diffrent hard drive or try to remove all, you should try boot laptop with out any hard drive ?
4. Disconnect your hard drive see if no longer freezes during system boot?
I'm afraid, this has happened to me a few times.
