Cannot boot without clearing cmos

Hi! Hope someone cann help.
My system is:
MSI K&T266 pro2-A
AMD Athlon XP2000+
40G Maxotr 133
ATI Radeon8500
256M Nanya ddr2100
Noname dvd and floppy and case w/ ample cooling
350W antec psu
Windows 98 se
The only way to get the system running is to clear the cmos. After booting up everything seems to work fine, but as it is new(n-board and cpu and hd), I have not really tested it. The system shuts down fine, but will not boot. When I try to restart from a running win98, I get a blank screen but all fans and drives continue to be powered.
Can someone please help

Z77A-GD65 Wont Boot Without Clearing CMOS. Gets Error 32.

Hi!
I just switched GPU from 2x 7950 to 980.
I cleared drivers etc etc and was powering down my pc for the replacement. took out the cards and put in the 980.
When i later was trying to boot, i got debug error 32, which is early cpu initialization. So i checked all the cables and tried again. Same thing.
Took everything out and reinserted it again. Same error. even tried the to take out each ram to see. Still nothing.
I later cleared cmos and the computer booted. but then when i restart i doesnt boot until power everything down and clear cmos again.
Do you guys have any idea?
My specs are
Z77A-GD65
2500k CPU (Now after clearing CMOS at stock speed)
Corsair Vengance 2x4GB RAM
850W Bronze psu

Tryreplacing battery. Also could try to run it with single Ram stick and outside of the case.
I Couldn't wait so i went to town and bought me a battery, didn't change anything.
I've tried running a single RAM in each slot, just to try. no change there. Still error 32.
I've also test it outside the case now and still no difference.
Otherwise i've noticed i can boot if i press the reset button exact when debug code 55 shows. It's really weird. doing this way all bios settings are still there and i can test my pc with OC. I've played Dying Light on it this way with no problem at all. except this annoying code 32 who reappers everytime i restart my computer and hinders it to boot...
EDIT: Also sometimes (very rare), it starts at first boot.

Pavilion p6-2133w - Wont post/boot without clearing cmos first

I really need some advice guys. My dad just recemtly bought this computer from a friend (friend says it had no problems) which could be true.
I did a fresh format after downloading all drivers from HP, installed them all incuding the bios update (which i think is my problem) and now i have to clear cmos every single time before it will boot or even post, if i dont clear cmos the computer does turn on (fans have power) but the monitor stays black. When i do clear cmos the pc boots fine and the only thing i notice wrong is some files wont download thru IE (like adobe flash, says no internet connection when the adobe installer trys to download) and im getting constant sec.certificate display blocked errors thru IE other then that it runs fine.
So im assuming something went wrong installing the bios update, im praying somebody has or even knows what the original bios is supposed to be ? or someway i can fix it. I have since done another format and tried reinstalling the bios update and all other drivers but nothing changes
Any advice, opinions, or idea's would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance

Can\'t boot without clearing cmos (kt3 ultra2)

Hi,
My kt3 ultra2 board won't boot up unless I clear the CMOS. I am using the following basic configuration:
Athlon 1800+ w/ alpha pal8045 heatsink
256 mb of samsung pc2700 ram
Radeon 8500LE graphics card
My psu is a 400W powmax. Here are the specs from the side of the unit:
3.3V 28A
5V 30A
12V 25A
my cpu temp peaks at 40C and the cmos battery is at 3.39V.
I am running at default settings w/ cpu fsb=100. Everytime I power up the computer (from cold start) I need to clear the CMOS. Otherwise, the D-Link lights hang on memory detection test.
Doing a soft reboot (ctrl - alt - del) once it starts up does not cause it to hang.
Either way once the thing boots it says:
CMOS/GPNV Checksum Bad
(does any one know if this could be why it's scewing up)
What could be causing this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

I bought one of these boards about 2 weeks ago and have had terrible problems with my geforce 4 concerning exactly the same issue. Now from the support forums i have been reading, everyone seems to say different things. Either change your ram, power supply, graphics card (how would you feel if someone told you to change your geforce 4 ti4600 that you paid £300 for?)
Now lets face it, motherboards shouldn't have to be picky about components should they? Power supplies are "power supplies" at the end of the day, and yes sometimes there are good and bad makes and models, but it shouldn't stop someone from using a regular bog standard power supply. My thoughts and concerns about the KT3 Ultra 2 is that the motherboard manufacturer is in the wrong here and do not seem to be doing anything about it.
I've worked with PC's for about 4-5 years and have used many makes and models of motherboard and been able to get them working successfully every time, however the MSI KT3 Ultra 2 board is plagued with problems and it's about time someone did something about it. How would you feel if i sold you a car that would only go 10 miles and then stop working?

Wont boot unless clearing cmos

JBAT1
Ok here's the story in full.
Received K8T Neo2-FIR - was completely DOA along with a working 3000 90nm.
Received working K8T Neo2-FIR, got system to post after 5 hours of work (including 1.30 hours to watch Open Range whilst angered).
Post Showed 'invalid bios checksum' etc, the board now has 3.31 bios and still it will not post, will not even boot to be precise. It won't kick in fans etc UNLESS the jbat1 is set to CLEAR CMOS. Then the system works fine other than not retaining any bios settings.
I have now installed Windows XP Pro 64bit along with the 64bit drivers, unfortunately cannot use any MSI tools. I am going to update to the latest RC1 of XP64 pro as soon as Microsoft sort out the error in the download page/server.
Anybody got any clue to solving my problem? Oh and i can't run my Kingmax 3700 in dual channel, infact i dont think i can run 2 sticks in single channel either. (2x512MB).

550Watt PSU
22A at 12v rail
3000+ Winchester
MSI K8T Neo2-FIR
2x IDE HDD on IDE1
1x DVDWRITER on IDE2
9700Pro
1GB Dual Channel 3700
The PSU is going to be my next purchase, i have witnessed 2 Tagan UO2's explode recently so am going to go with an Akasa 460W. To be honest the current PSU is crap quality but testing the rails and amperes output actually hits 530Watts, on load i doubt it can hit this but still has enough power to satisfty 3xmore drivers and 6case fans in another SocketA machine which takes a lot more power at the cpu.
The ram has been in all possible combinations provided by the book but i can only get it to run 1 stick. I cannot run the LIVE UPDATE tool as im using Windows 64Bit. I've got 1 hour 26mins left on the download for the latest beta so hopefully i can run the tools tomorrow.
I have tried booting the machine etc with all items unpluged and select ones etc but no luck, it will only work if the jumpers are set to clear cmos. Maybe a multimeter on the jbat would reveal whether any current is getting passed through pin 1. Long shot and hopeless i know. Theres probably a reasonabe explanation.
I've now had 3 different Bios errors on post, so i think its just screwed it with the first boot on jumper2-3.
Soft reboots work fine (it hasnt stopped to tell me bios errors) just 'NO BIOS INSTALLED' at the sata raid post screen.

G33M-FI Fails to POST without clearing CMOS

Hello,
I purchased a new system with a G33M-FI mainboard in December. Everything worked great on the first boot, but the first time I restarted it failed to POST. I had to clear CMOS settings using the jumper. On the next boot I updated the BIOS to 1.2, restarted multiple times and everything worked fine for a while...
Now occasionally the system again fails to POST. This does happen on both a restart or a cold boot. Each time this has happened clearing the CMOS settings with the jumper does "fix" the problem and allows the system to boot again but it is VERY annoying. The problem also appears to be getting more and more frequent as time goes on (but maybe this is just my imagination). I have been leaving all of the CMOS settings at the default values so I don't think this is caused by something I did.
Any thoughts?
Here are the system specs:
MSI G33M-FI (bios version 1.2, default settings)
Core 2 Duo E4500 2.2G (800MHz)
Patriot 2GB Kit PDC22G6400LLK (2 sticks of 1GB, 800MHz 4-4-4-12)
Antec NSK3480 micro ATX case w/ 380w power supply
WD 320GB 3200ks SATA hard drive
Samsung sh-s203b/bebn DVD+/-RW sata drive

List PSU details, look for them over PSU sticker.
Try with just one memory stick alone in a 1st DIMM slot near to CPU socket and see if problem persist.
You may need to up memory vcore a bit,(in BIOS ==> "Frequency/Voltage Control", "Memory Voltage", Setup 2.0V and re-test)

P6NGM no longer boots after clearing CMOS?

Hi all, hope you can help me with this.
I got a new graphics card today (PoV 9800GT), I put it in my P6NGM (not exactly sure which version, uATX, it has VGA and DVI out, but no HDMI) and it didn't work, I would get the regular boot beeps but no signal. Onboard card was working fine, so I was scratching my head trying to figure it out
Thought I'd clear the CMOS to see if it made a difference, so I turned the PC off, moved the jumper over, left it a little while, turned it back on and... nothing. Fans kick up but I get no beeps and no signal even on the onboard card now.
Only thing I can think of is when I first bought the mobo I found out it doesn't support 45nm CPUs as standard, so my E8400 wouldn't work. I borrowed my brother's 65nm c2d, updated the bios and after that my 45nm chip worked fine. Can clearing the CMOS somehow revert the bios version or has this got nothing to do with it?
Many thanks.

Really? How does that work? I see no supplemental power necessary. However, nowadays it all needs a 12v rail. Used to be most of it ran off the 5v rail, but no more. Can't know that unless you tell us. Too much guessing here. Please post your full system specifications.
Yes there's a few models out there now that have this, mostly on 45nm dies. Zotac do a similar one too.

The Point Of View GeForce 9800 GT Green Edition low power design reduces power consumption by up to 30% compared to a standard GeForce 9800 GT graphics card and no longer requires a supplementary power connector from your PSU, yet still delivers the same great 9800 GT-class performance as previous versions.

K7n2 delta2 platinum - changed FSB and can't boot or clear CMOS

Hi all,
specs first:
KnN2 Delta2 Platinum board
Athalon Barton 2800 XP
2 sticks of 256 pc 3200 ram and one stick of 512 pc3200
Last night I went into the bios of my new board, and unthinkingly set to CELL settings to manual and jacked up the FSB way up. Shouldn't have been working on my computer after a 12 hour shift. :( Anyway, it didn't boot when I reset. I tried clearing my CMOS and have unplugged the power, taken out the battery and the whole shabang in the CMOS clearing faq, but its still not giving me any beep codes or anything at all. I suspect my CMOS isin't clearing, however I'm wondering if its possible I've fried my new barton 2800 XP, my board, my ram, or all of the above. :( :(. I've read a ton of other delta boards having a safe mode jumper, j10, which will reset the fsb setting to 100 mhz, but can't find it anywhere for the delta2 platinum.
It was booting and getting into my OS before this, can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, this worked, however it was an acident. To test my chip I threw in my 1800 xp chip, cleared the CMOS again (which apparently was working fine) and suddenly it started posting beep codes. I assumed that meant I had burned my 2800 and returned it to the place of purchase. They threw it on a board and said it was posting fine, but I got my money back anyway. Going to go pick up another 2800 this weekend probably.
Anyway, I havn't actually tried the insert method. Oh, and yea, I jacked the FSB up to 300 or so... I think I'm somewhat confused, as I've got a 333 chip in a 2800 so I think I've mistaken something fundamental here.

Actually, it probably is clearing. On earlier K7N2, when the CMOS is cleared everything is set to default EXCEPT the FSB setting, that's why it's usually necessary when the FSB has been pushed too high by the user, to use the FSB Jumper (SAFE/USER) to reset the FSB to default.
I fail to see the wisdom of removing this jumper from later boards!
You should also try substituting your CPU with another - just to make sure it isn't the CPU that's at fault.
Sorry I wasn't of more help.

Cannot boot without without first booting to ubuntu live disk

Hi All,
I have a macbook pro late 2012 which had yosemite beta on it when I tried to install windows technical preview via bootcamp. Pretty bad idea, I suppose.
However, this first went fine until some update on windows forced a reboot. After that it would not boot up again and question mark folder rised.
I figured that I am able to make it boot again when using an ubuntu live disk and selecting "Check Disk". After that I reboot and Macintosh HD is able to boot.
However, since I backed up all valuable data, I first removed Bootcamp on Yosemite and as that did not help, I opted for Internet Recover after various tries of reinstalling Windows and removing via bootcamp.
So currently my macbook is on Mountain Lion with no (visible, at leas to me) Bootcamp partition
When I don't use Ubuntu Live disk and try a Mac OS Thumb drive instead, the complete hard drive is missing in disk utility.
What I also found out is that while being bootet to Mac OS i can safely restart multiple times. Only when shutting down completely reboot will not work and I'll get the question mark folder
So here's the output of various command line scripts when booting to Mac OS Mountain Lion

K8N Neo4 Platinum boots only with CMOS reset

This is my first build (and perhaps my last). The system ran without error for two weeks but the BIOS recognized only 2.88 GB rather than the 4 GB which are in the DIMM slots. I removed the power cord, put on an anti-static strap and reseated two of the 1 GB sticks. Since that time it will not boot without a CMOS reset. (But the BIOS recognizes 3.9 GB on most of my boots. On my last one, it was back to 2.88 GB).
Here's my booting process:
Remove power cord and switch PSU off.
Put on wrist strap and depress CMOS reset button on board for ten seconds.
Insert power cord and switch PSU on.
At this point the system boots normally without my depressing the normal power switch at the front of the case! And it runs without error once it boots.
I can reboot the system from the operating system without problems. When I shutdown (power off), depressing the normal power switch has no effect and I have to boot with the CMOS reset process above.
Memtest86 shows no memory errors. A similar thread with Neo2's suggested setting ht = 4x but that didn't help in my case. I also let the BIOS load optimized defaults but that didn't fix things either. I'm open to whatever suggestions you can make! (If my signature with my system configuration doesn't appear, I'll post it in a followup.)

Looks like a Memory/Motherboard problem but I've never heard of it before or a low powered power supply could stop it recognising the 4GB so may be worth borrowing a more powerful one to test and see.. all out of ideas on this now
You were right. I borrowed a Rosewill RE501-BLK 3.3v@28a, 5v@30a, 12v@34a, 500W and now I don't have to reset the CMOS to boot! The case power switch still doesn't work--I have to turn off the PSU and turn it on again to boot--but others in this thread have suggested improper wiring of the switch which I'll check out. But I certainly can live with this since the PSU power switch is at least external to the case (as opposed to the CMOS reset switch). Now I'll go to the PSU thread to pick out a new PSU.
The BIOS on repeated boots recognizes the memory as about 3.7 GB (and Linux at about 3.4 GB, but I suppose that there are "good" reasons that OS's give a different number than BIOS's) and I can live with that, also, since, in an earlier post in this thread, I quoted MSI's "warning" that I could only expect 3+ GB to be recognized by the BIOS if I filled all 4 DIMMs with 1 GB sticks. But I think my 1.52beta MS-7125 BIOS also contributed to this increase. (My v. 1.3 BIOS recognized only 2.88 GB.)
I'm happy and thank all who contributed suggestions to this thread. Now I need to configure the software, a task that I know at least something about.

970 GAMING black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime

I have 970 GAMING w/ FX8320, it shows black screen when boot on cold start, have to clear CMOS everytime to enter default.
I have updated it to the up to date M11 bios. Once it boot up, it functions OK no matter whether you reboot or reset it. But after turned off a few hours (cooled down), it shows on black screen again on boot, all LED lights up OK, but I can hear the fan like keep rebooting, any idea?
PSU seasonic 430W, GPU HD7750.

In what DIMM slots did you insert your memory? I just got and at this moment building a new computer with a 970.
A horrible experience I had with my last build reminded me of it. My board was am MSI A88XM-E45. DIMM1 is blue, DIMM2 is black, DIMM3 is blue, & DIMM4 is black. When using two sticks of RAM, it says to install one on DIMM1 & the other in DIMM3 (Makes sense... After all, it's color colored that way).
Well it would not boot. I reseated every component and for HOURS tried almost everything. Finally I decided to place my two sticks of RAM in the first two DIMMS and viola!
I think I will begin this build the same way.

When updating Firefox, said it had to delete a plug-in I need. Now I cannot re-boot without deleting, correct? bad news.

I need to use LogMeIn. When updating to Firefox 5, it said that it would have to delete LogMeIn because it was not compatible. I tried to stop the update but there seemed to be no way to do that. I NEED LogMeIn. Now, I assume that I cannot shut down my coimputer and re-boot without losing the plug-in. Help.

It appears the LogMeIn add-on was just updated. I installed "LogMeIn, Inc. Remote Access Plugin version 1.0.0.664" when I used the service today,then upgraded to Firefox 5. No compatibility objection was raised. I logged on to a remote PC and all seemed to work as usual.

Does it hurt to clear CMOS without the power completely disconnected?

I noticed in this thread https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=31222.0 that it says to completely remove all power before clearing CMOS. all the user guide said was that the system needs to be powered off so to me that simply meant just turned off.
I have cleared my CMOS twice but both times it was not unplugged but simply turned off so did I risk damaging anything?

No it shouldn't damage anything it's just that at times some people seem to be unable to get CMOS cleared by simply turning system off and switching jumper/pushing clear CMOS button and it's recommended to pull the plug or if PSU has an on/off switch turn it off 1st.

Clear CMOS - without moving jumper/pins

Thinking about trying to OC my 3000+(W)@Neo2.
My case and eq. in genreall makes it hard to clear CMOS the "old way", and I remember someone telling of a keystroke one could do under reboot to clear CMOS.
How can I do this on the Neo2 and what are the dissadvantages?

If "Ins" Key is held down when powering up , system starts with reduced fsb and other safe settings . Making that clear cmos jumper uneccesary when OC has gone bad.
Note ! It must be powered off and powered on with the key pressed (just restart key + "ins" wont work).

Cannot boot without clearing cmos
