Cant enter Bios Setup with K8N Diamond

Anyone know whats going wrong here ....
K8N Diamond (Bios 1.7), Athlon64 3700+, 2 x 1Gb Corsair XMS-PRO 3200, ATI x300 PCI-E Graphics, 2 x WD 74GB Raptors in Raid 0 on Nvidia Raid, 1 x Samsung 120gb SATA drive on Sil controller. Running Windows x64 on the WD Raid setup and Win2k on the Samsung drive.
Everything running at stock speeds/voltages etc.
Both Windows x64 and Win2k are running stable - absolutely no problems at all. (Use F11 at bootup to select bootup option).
Problem is that I cant get into the bios setup. Pressing F2 at startup just makes the system hang. Anyone any ideas.
cheers

Hello !
I am not really sure, but wasn´t the "Delete" key the way to enter Bios Setup Menu ??
If not i am sorry.......try another Brand of Keyboard. Cahnaging from USB to PS/2 Keyboard could also help.

U310 Touch Cannot Enter Bios Setup with NOVO Key

I am trying to enter bios and have tried the following and failed.
1) Through Advance Setup in Windows UEFI Firmware
2) FN F2 / F2
3) NOVO Key
The NOVO gives me an option to Bios Setup but it just boot me back to Windows 8.1.
I need on-site warranty on this laptop in Hong Kong. Is the warranty international?
Solved!

Hello,
I don't have an IdeaPad U310 myself, but I'm wondering if you hold down the F12 key after applying power, does that give you a menu from which you can get to the BIOS? That worked for me on a IdeaPad U410.

990FXA-GD80 V2 - can't enter BIOS setup

This board has mostly been working fine. I have a FX-8150 in it, and I switched out the fan for a Coolermaster. Now, it boots, but when I try to enter BIOS setup, it hangs on "Starting setup..." (or something like that) at the bottom of the screen.
I have tried clearing the CMOS (including unplugging) a couple times. Not sure what else to try...

Try with the board outside case on a non conductive surface and basic setup (one mem stick, cpu/cooler, psu, vga). Remove all drives and USB devices.
That worked. Thank you. I am able to enter the BIOS setup. But will it still work in the case?
EDIT: I did some searching and this is probably a case shorting. I noticed that one of the brass standoffs had come loose and was still attached to the screw when I took it out. I'm guessing that's what caused the short. I'll be more careful with the standoffs and see if that helps. Thanks for your help.

What kind of PSU are you using? List amperage(s) on the +12V-rail(s) also.
Have you tried clearing CMOS? (remove main power plug from PSU first)
When did this problem first appear?
i'm using ATX power supply 500W, I'm not familiar with amperage stuff so i'll just write the list in the PSU
INPUT | 115V ~ 10A 60Hz 230V ~ 5.5A 50Hz
Output | +5V | +12V | -5V | -12V | +3.3V | +5VSB
500W _______________________________________ ____________
MAX | 45A | 18A | 0.5A | 0.8A | 28A | 2A
I tried clearing CMOS in fact i changed the CMOS battery at first it work, I can run the BIOS again and the windows xp is working again then suddenly after 2 hrs. my pc restarts again and it keeps restarting again and i can't go to BIOS setup.
It happen 3 days earlier when i'm just surfing in the internet then suddenly it restarts and since then it keeps on restarting.
I'm using pentium duo core 2.8 GHz processor

GeForce 7950 GX2 compatability with K8N DIAMOND(ms 7100, NO PLUS)

hi i would like to find out whether GeForce 7950 GX2 is compatable with K8N DIAMOND(ms 7100, NO PLUS). How well does it work with this motherboard? and also, does it work better than two 7900GTs on SLI mode? whats the recommended powersupply for it if i were to use it. thanks.

I have talked with some folks that have that combo and from what I gather there is no issues with it. I was going to grab one but they were not available so I got the 7900GTX instead. PSU though is an important decission. As far as I can tell the PSU I use and have in my siggy should be fine but I have not tested it as I did not get my card. The amps did show it should be fine so long as I did not use two of those cards in SLi.

Cant Overclock With K8N Diamond Plus

I recently upgraded from stock cooling and thought I would give overclocking a try. I have a K8N Diamond Plus with the latest BIOS on the MSI site. When I change any settings in the BIOS to overclock they do not work. They are saved in the BIOS, just not showing in Windows. For example, I set the FSB to 210 just to test, but when I check Nvidia Monitor it still shows the FSB at 200 and the CPU is still running at stock. What could be the problem?

hello,
update your BIOS to ver. 3.0A should be fine. -----> https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=101664.0

Cannot enter BIOS setup

I bought a new msi amd motherboard it cannot go into cmos BIOS setup it just says entering setup and it doesnt go any further, I have the pc down to barebones memory cpu and msi board.
I have reset bios CMOS with jumper and battery out several times same problem.
Will flashing the bios fix this problem or could it be that I found the memory is 1.65 volt and should of been 1.5 volt thought everything was recognized and working until windows7 said it completed its installation.
Edited title, correct terminology is BIOS setup not CMOS.

I have the same issue. After having pressed the Del key during booting up - the computer hangs with "Entering Setup" shown in the bottom left of the screen.
* The problem was orignaly found with the 1.0 version of the Bios but remains after upgrading to 1.5. With both versions the Bios was cleared with by switching the JBAT connector.
* Memcheck86 has been executed and reports no error.
* Attempts have been made with the SSD and BR drives detached with no joy

Clicks with K8N Diamond Plus

Guys,
Maybe some one here can solve this one.
As you can see in my sig: I have a K8N Diamond Plus board and I love it! Rest of the specs are in my sig as well. I have a weird thing with it for some time, but it seems to be getting worse or, putting it right, it occurs more and more.
The pc is running just fine. Sometimes there's coming two clicks out of the case, about 1/2 a second after each other. It sounds like a mechanical something, but I'm unable to locate where it comes from. The pc simply keeps on working. No hangs, no BSOD's, it's fine. The only thing is that the sound is interupted shortly with each click.
To make it visible:
------------------click-----click-------------
- = computer noise
# = music playing
When I watch a movie, the same happens. Video-playback, however, isn't interupted at all.
Does anyone have any suggestion what this could be?
Thanks!
Hans
PS: I had a simular setup first with the K8T Neo2 board. The problem never occured with that board, so I asume it's the mobo that's doing this somehow.

Quote from: Hans on 20-December-06, 18:37:28
Well, I'm unable to find any problems. There's no data losses or whatever.
@Bosskiller: are you saying that this could be normal?
Do you know if WD Raptors make this sound? Or maybe Seagate Barcuda's (SATA-II)?
The more I try to locate the sound, it looks like it's one of the Raptors (or both).
yes sound normal for me, for Raptor don't know, for seagate think no, HITACHI(my currently doing the same), and Maxtor(DM 9 got before also making click/click)

K9ND Freeze on entering bios setup screen

I got a new K9ND mainboard, with 2 X 2210, 2 X 2G DDR 2 667 REG ECC, AcBel 800W Power Supply.
I can startup the PC and pass the ram test.
And i pass the F2 key waiting to enter the Bios Setup screen.
But the screen hold in the the "Entering Setup..." for long time and with no response.
I have retry many time, Still can't enter the bios.
Anybody can help me? What the problem?

Just a question.
Have you actually placed both Memory Modules in the Yellow slots that are assigned to CPU-0????
The CPU in CPU socket 1 can stay there. (You do not have to remove it to test for entry into the BIOS).
You also need to let us know the exact version of your BIOS and Date.
Now at this point you should not have any other devices connected to your motherboard.
No DVD
No Hard Drives
No SATA Devices
No Floppy Drive
No Mouse (PS2 or USB)
The keyboard would be preferably a PS2 model. (Borrow one from a friend if necessary)
This way we can rule out any BAD USB Configurations in the BIOS.
Once all that is accomplished, power up and enter the BIOS.
Write everything down you can possibly see.
When the display screen comes up, hit ESC key to display the POST data.
Is the memory reading 4193280 kb or 4194304 kb?
Does it mention Dual Channel Mode or Single Channel Mode?
Please let us know and we'll gladly help you get up and running.

Can´t enter bios setup/system does not boot

Hi,
I got a problem with my new KT6 Delta MS-6590 board.
Sometimes after a prog is crashed and its better to restart windows, my System doesn´t boot anymore. It hangs after searching RAID-Disks. The Broadcom Dialog does not appear and the System stands. When I try to reset and would like to get into the bios setup I can´t enter it. The Delete Key do not work. After clearing cmos and going on with default values the systems works correctly until the next crash.
The bracket says "Boot attempt"
Whats the problem please help ?(

Read "KT6-LSR and installing Windows on SATA" post (At this moment is the last in this page). There you'll find many posts about Raid problems. 8)

BIOS Update on K8N Diamond (not plus)

Hi,
I've been told that to use an AMD X2 in my K8N Diamond I'll have to update BIOS. I've read people's instructions on winflash but I can't find a BIOS update in a .bin format, only in a .exe format. Can someone please help me?
Thanks!

Owwww ..... well, like I said: no matter what, it's your own risk.
The way I see it: flashing in DOS-mode, using a bootable floppy with your flashing utility and BIO-ROM on CD or HDD is the safest way. As long as you flash in Windows, there are all kind of programs that can interfere with the flashing process. In DOS, all these background programs/services simply aren't there.
But: if other mods on this forum advice to use winflash, it must be safe, otherwise they wouldn't. (It's only my second day as a mod around here, so I've still got to do some reading. Right now, my advice comes from experience on the Dutch MSI-forum. I just have to read through some house-rules here ... )

How to enter bios Setup (not the F1 stuff, the splash screen display settings)

So I some how got into a seperate bios setting program by pressing ctrl S when some other bios utility was loading and changed the splash screen display (how long it shows the press enter stuff)
but now I have no idea how to get back into that configruator.
the Manual doesn't mention it, so question, how do I bloody do it?
T430S 2542 btw

Hello
Every time when you switch the notebook ON you can see at the bottom left hand site the short instruction how to enter BIOS settings. In your case you must use F2 button. Please keep it down immediately after switching the notebook ON.
Generally the Toshiba notebooks are delivered with two different BIOS versions (BIOS producer):
- TOSHIBA BIOS: enter using ESC and F1 button
- Phoenix BIOS: enter using F2 button.
According the specification your unit has Phoenix BIOS.
Bye
