Finding codes on screen before booting up.

Hi guys, first time posting here because I seem to be running into an issue. Whenever I turn on my PC, I find that my pc shows a black screen with the codes 9c, 99, and a2. These codes happen to stay for a couple of seconds but I have never seen these codes until recently. My system is composed of:
MSI z97 Pc Mate
ADATA DDR3-1600 4GBX4 Ram
Gigabyte GTX 980 G1 Gaming
An Intel 530 SSD 240GB
Seagate 2tb Barracuda HDD
Corsair H50 CPU cooler
Peripherals composed of:
Corsair K70 RGB
Razer Deathadder
and 2 ASUS 279H monitors.
Thank you guys for your help!

Did you update anything related to BIOS (BIOS/Intel ME) recently? Or did Live Update do it?
Any OC on the CPU?
Or did you add anything new like different keyboard, or some USB hub? Try disconnecting every USB device, leave only keyboard and mouse plugged in and see if something shows up.
Codes are nothing bad really, helps diagnose issue if there is one. What I understand by A2, is that it will always show up when POST is finished without errors. At least that's the last code I see before Windows boots up.
99   Setup timer data area/printer base address
9C   NPU initialization
A2   Display and soft errors
I have updated via Live update to Bios v. 4.5.
I do not overlock my system at all if that helps.
It just concerns me that I happen to see all these other codes too, including "9c" when I turn off/restart my computer. This all occurred after my SSD failed but since then I replaced the SSD and reinstalled Windows but this continues to occur. Before any of this, everything was fine.

  • Black screen before booting and diod flashing

    Hi, i have problem with my new macbook pro 2011 with OS X Lion. when i open notebook it starts from sleep. after 5 sec grey notification with"system will restart" on five langueges. when it shut down and i start it. the csreen is black and diod flashing and notebook sounding. Pls everybody help me. How i repairt it?? What i have to do?

    Sounds like you've had a kernel panic.
    Can you start up at all yet?  Do you have any USB devices, or other external equipment attached?  If yes, try unplugging them first.
    What do you mean by "diod flashing"?  Do you mean the "sleep light"?
    If you don't have any external devices attached and still can't start up, try starting up and straight away after the startup sound hold the "alt" key.  Then select the "Recovery HD" and click the arrow underneath it to start up into it.  You can then try and repair your hard drive with DiskUtility, which you can find at the top under "Utilities" (before any Lion re-installation).
    Edit:  Sorry, as I've never been there yet myself I just assumed it was like in the past, when starting up with DVD or CD, but in the Recovery HD you can find DiskUtiility right there at the bottom of the main window, after you've selected your language.

  • 15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011.takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get

    Hello All,
    I have a 15" i7 Macbook Pro from early 2011. The past few weeks, it has been getting increasingly difficult to get on my computer. It takes the mac laptop two or three tries to boot successfully. It would turn on, show gray screen, shut down, turn on again, show gray screen, shutdown, and then turn on, show gray screen, before it can finally get to the dark gray log-in screen. Even when I finally get logged in to start working, thinking it would be okay now, it shuts down randomly.
    I've ruled out the possibility of a software problem because I've just done a clean re-install of Mac OS X Mavericks on my computer just yesterday.
    I did upgrade the RAM recently, about a month and a half ago, from 4GB to 16GB, I went to the apple store four days after that upgrade to have them do a hardware test, and clean the inside of my laptop, which helped with previous heat issues. When they did the hardware test, the hardware was all registered as fine from their system.
    I've tried resetting the SMC, PRAM, and doing the internet recovery hardware test, but to no avail. I thought I could at least find out what parts needed to be replaced from the hardware test but it seems that when the hardware test is almost finished, the computer just shuts down, So I am unable to see the results.
    My computer is also having battery issues, under battery condition, it says "replace now," parts have been ordered, waiting for arrival. But if the battery health is low, it should still boot up fine, it would just hold a significantly less charge.
    Could this be a hard drive issue?
    Has anyone had similar symptoms and how was it resolved?
    Does anyone know what I can do to alleviate this issue?
    I haven't had time to take it to Apple because I'm currently taking a 21 credit semester academically. I'm an art and design student so my computer is basically the bane of my existence. Help! Any constructive advice is welcomed!
    Thank you so much for your input!

  • Dell Latitude E6510 Black screen before posting during cold boot

    When I cold boot my laptop,I get about 10sec of black screen before the laptop posts..1st gen. i5 core,4gb DDR3 80GB Intel X25-M Nvidia NVS 3100 graphics with 512MB RAM.

    I received a new XPS13 9343 last week and unpacked it yesterday (Friday 4/24/2015). When I first opened the lid and powered it up there was no display. It was completely black, not blank. I went to close the lid and when slightly jarring it I noticed that the initial screen appeared but briefly.
    After analyzing the symptom I decided:
    It is a physical issue - not firmware related
    While I apply very slight pressure compressing the lower right corner of the display it will function
    It is the LCD backlight that is intermittent as the image is perfect otherwise and turns on an off with pressure not quite instantaneously
    Once the laptop warms (2 minutes) the display becomes completely reliable and unaffected by lid motion
    My bet is that this is a problem with the conductive rubber mounting strip used to make the many connections to the LCD panel. Envision a very thin foam double sided tape with the characteristic that current can only flow front to back through the thin dimension of the tape. Adjacent pads (connection points) are not shorted by the tape and pads (carefully) aligned on the other side of the tape are connected. Its very ingenious actually.
    In my case probably the circuit for the LCD backlight is at the end of a strip on the bottom right. It didn't properly bond during production. Probably once current flows through it (when I compress the display or hold the lid in just the right position) the adhesive warms and grabs hold. It probably doesn't take much to pass the low currents involved. I wonder if after some use or exposure to warmer operating conditions if it might not finally bond permanently and the issue go away?
    Anyway this is what happens when you present an engineer with a problem, it gets over analyzed. You would like to think that within hours of posting this a bunch of production engineers will run over to all of the fixtures in their facilities that are used to assemble the displays and make sure there isn't one out of adjustment. Uneven clamping force or some such science.
    The problem now for me is in finding out if I need to replace it and how much of a pain that is going to be. Unfortunately now I don't want to migrate from my prior laptop if I am going to have to send this one off someplace.
    In some way this represents a security feature. Haha. I mean there is a trick to getting the thing to come up that I would only know. Another level of security at no extra charge. Still, one wishes to not have a quality concern floating in the back of your mind.
    But, this might be your issue too. Anyone else have this experience?

  • Win 7/Z580: Black screen on boot up, before login screen?

    Win 7/Z580: Black screen on boot up, before login screen?
    =======================================
    I find some interesting posting in this forum. Thanks for keeping this forum to help windows/Lenovo community. I like to pick up the brain of this forum to resolve the black screen issue. I am not sure, whether it caused by virus. I use Microsoft Security Essentials. I am not able to run this in command prompt.
    I started my laptop this morning & login screen showed up. Once I entered my login credentials, I heard the sound that usually plays once a login is successful, but I ended up with a black screen. After this occurred, I had to hold down the power button to manually shut down the computer. Once I started it up again, I was prompted to do a system repair, which eventually ended up with all successful outcomes, but I now have a black screen with a cursor before the login screen now. I have no idea what caused this to happen. My laptop is a Lenovo Ideapad Model Z580 (500 GB HD, 6GB RAM).
    I am not able to get into safe mode or any other mode, which all leads to a black screen described above. I am able to use the "Repair Your computer" tools after pressing F8 during booting only . All other options leads to Black screen with cursor in the middle
    Last Known Good Configuration leads to same
    Enable Low Resolution Video (640x480) leads to same My Z580 is not responding to CTRL+ALT+DEL Windows Logo keys as well.
    **** I tried SAFE Mode. It loaded couple of drivers and paused at CLASSPNP.SYS load. It went to Black screen with cursor at center.
    I am able to invoke control pannel from Command prompt of working PC by typing control.
    Z580 PC is not responding to control from command prompt (under Repair Your computer)  either.
    Z580 is able to use the "Repair Your computer" tools after pressing F8 during booting .

  • 2012-model Macbook Air got Mavericks installed but boot up with 1-second brighter screen before logging into my account, is this a bug?

    as above, never got this issue when i was using 10.8.
    now every time when i boot my macbook air, just before logging into my user account, the screen blinks once(screen gets brighter a lot in a very short time about 1 second).
    i've googled around, found there are some fellows who also have the same issue as mine.
    Is this a bug with 10.9 mac os? will Apple fix it???

    Mine is doing the same thing but it has happened to me before on other versions too.
    I tried resetting PRAM and it didn't help.
    Also running real laggy on bootup even thou I repaired permissions.
    I think a patch from Apple fixed my screen before or it was just plain luck because it was working right before this UPGRADE.
    I will be trying a clean install tonight or this weekened for sure to try and fix my issues.

  • What happens between the chime & the grey screen on boot?

    Hi,
    My Mac Pro has recently started taking up to 30secs to reach the grey screen when booting. The chime happens shortly after (re)starting, and then there's a significant pause, where nothing seems to happen (even the Apple Display stays in stand-by mode), before the HDD starts reading and the grey screen appears. I tried using Verbose mode, but the data it prints to screen doesn't start until after the long pause, so…
    Anyone know what the Mac Pro could be doing? I've no other problems with the machine.
    Thanks,
    S.

    Hi,
    My issue has been solved, apparently by a combination of a PRAM reset and re-selecting the startup disk in System Preferences. My machine now moves from chime to Apple logo almost instantaneously
    The AppleCare representative was thorough and walked me through various steps that narrowed down the issue, and his hesitant conclusion was that somehow, as hatter suggested, the Mac was taking its time to find the appropriate boot device - possibly as a result of a change I had made in my BootCamp partition (Windows 7) or as a result of a previous PRAM reset (as hatter suggested).
    Case closed! Yay!
    S.
    EDIT: So, Japamac, it was presumably the "system selection" part of the post-Chime process that was causing the delay. Didn't see your post till I returned to respond with this post, but thanks for the effort anyway

  • Forzen gray screen at boot

    I'm using an iMac that was new in Dec '12. 27-inch I think it's still the current model.
    Lately I've been getting long if not terminal hang-ups at boot on the plain gray screen.
    The only system maintenance I have with this Mac is to confirm and correct my preferences on the main drive, through Disk Utility. I know there is much more to clean up in the system.
    What program should I be using to do this with?
    I used to use Onyx, but that is now only a pay program now. If I must use a pay program I want to get the best value for the program.
    So my question is two questions.....
    1. Are there free programs that will clean up the caches and whatever else needs attending to?
    2. What is the best pay program for maintaing a Mac?
    Thanks

    Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    The first step in dealing with a boot failure is to secure your data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since your last backup, you can skip this step.   
    There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.a. Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
    b. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
    c. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
    Step 2
    Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to boot, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can boot now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
    If you've booted from an external storage device, make sure that your internal boot volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
    Step 3
    Boot in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    When you boot in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, your boot volume is damaged and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to step 5.
    If you can boot and log in now, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
    If the boot process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
    Step 4
    Sometimes a boot failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
    Step 5
    Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see step 1.) Select your startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
    This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then reboot as usual.
    Step 6
    Boot into Recovery again. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    Step 7
    Repeat step 6, but this time erase the boot volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically reboot into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer your data from a backup.
    Step 8
    A dead logic-board battery in a Mac Pro can cause a gray screen at boot. Typically the boot failure will be preceded by loss of the startup disk and system clock settings. See the user manual for replacement instructions.
    Step 9
    If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.

  • Blue screen on boot up

    I am having issues with my 13.3" MBP, blue screen on boot up?, cannot figure out why? If I log in as another user(from my older macbook) it will boot but I cannot get to my newer files and docs. Any thoughts?, it appears to be a permission issue as if I boot up as a target disk using firewire, the files I want to access are still on my hard drive.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    *Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Infopackage Idocs in status 2 - could not find code page for receiver system

    Hi,
    We just migrated our production system from BW 7.01 non unicode to BW 7.4 on HANA.
    We now encounter issues with idocs while loading data into bw from our ECC5 source. When we analyze idocs in the source system it appears with the message "could not find code page for receiver system"
    One weird thing is that the idoc seems to have been created before we started the infopackage in bw.. We controlled system time and AS time and everything seems ok.
    We did not encounter this issues on our previous migration test runs..
    Hope someone can help
    Christophe

    Hi,
    Thanks for responding. We finally found out what the problem was.
    We have two applications servers on our ECC with 2 different OS. One of them could not reach the new BW HANA server.
    Regards
    Christophe
