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)

  • 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

  • Incoming payments posting without clearing the customer open item

    Hi,
    Is there a way to post an incoming payment to a customer and let it sit as an open item?
    I want to segregate the posting and clearing of AR payments.
    One user posts the payments to the customer account.
    Another user clears this payment against an open item.
    All t.codes F-26, f-52 and f-28 all go on to processing open items and don't work for me..
    Does anyone have any workaround or suggestion on how to accomplish this?
    Thanks

    I can suggest posting the cash to the customers account as an unallocated enty using F-28 - we use charge of the difference and the posting keys to mange this.
    The the other users can contra the items to the open items using F-32 clear customer.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • How to Reset BIOS/Clear CMOS of an HP Pavilion 500-111ea

    Hello,
    I was trying to change my computers boot logo because i dont like the HP one, and now when i try to enter my bios i get beeping, can anyone tell me how to reset the BIOS/Clear CMOS, this will be much apreciated. The computer still works fine, i just cant enter the BIOS or the UEFI Firmware Settings thing. When pressing F10 at boot up the computer beeps 8 times
    My computer is a HP Pavilion 500-111ea

    <I posted this in the wrong selection a few moments ago, i hope this is the right place this time.>

    Hi,
    Please explain in detail what changes you made in an attempt to change the boot logo.
    HP did not post a clear CMOS procedure for your model PC.  Review the below image.  Unplug your PC, hold down the power button for 1 minute. Now open up your PC and move the jumper blocks over to the left per the image for 30 seconds and then move the jumper blocks back. Plug the PC back in and give it go.  If you still get the eight (8) beeps then you could try a ROM image recovery.
    Eight (8) beeps in an invalid ROM image.  Review this HP posted article for trying a BIOS recovery.
    You might try this HP tools software.  Download the software to a different PC and create the USB 2 bootable tools flash drive. If you can get the flash drive to boot up then look for a firmware management selection.  There is not any documentation available on how to use this function so you are on your own.  HP Support might be able to assist you with a BIOS recovery and/or you might be faced with sending in your PC to an authorized HP repair facility to have the BIOS reflashed.

  • X58 Platinum does not post unless I clear CMOS

    I have to hit the 'clear CMOS' button from a cold start (unplugged power cable) on the back of the motherboard in order for it to boot. It restarts just fine.
    Once it is booted, everything runs fine. It is just weird that I have to clear the CMOS every time, and reset the clock. Running default settings in the BIOS, no OC. I have changed batteries and it still will not boot or remember what time it is. I have seen some other posts about this but the usual answer is memory swap or memory put into the first black slot, etc., etc. Do I really need to RMA this board or is it just a BIOS fix?

    You are using factory overclocked memory modules which real specs are DDR3-1066 or DDR3-1333 and you CPU's memory controller natively only supports up to DDR3-1066 (according to Intel Specifications).  What memory related settings are you working with?

  • 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?

    Quote
    Syar2003
    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).

  • Portege R500 fails during POST

    Hello all,
    I've got a Portege R500 for an year now and yesterday it started to fail during POST, I presume.
    The display is stuck at the power on screen, with the boot device selection icons, but no action can be taken (entering bios, selecting boot device, etc...). I've already tried to remove the battery for a couple of hours, without any result, but I assume that It would take more than a couple of hours to deplete the backup battery and reset the CMOS...
    Other than the boot screen, no other information is available, so I'm thinking that this machine is dead... Does anybody had a similar problem?
    Best regards,
    Paulo

    Hi
    The POST (power on self test) is executed by BIOS.
    During the POST some components and parts on the motherboard would be checked.
    For example POS checks the CPU, CPU related modules, CMOS RAM, CPU cache, GPU memory, main RAM and other hardware components, etc
    In most cases a hardware problem on the motherboard can be the reason if the POST cannot be passed properly.
    Usually the technician would recommend replacing the motherboard but as you know the motherboard is not cheap. Its one of the expensive notebook parts.
    Its not easy to say what the best solution for you is; I think you should ask a technician for a hardware check and then you would know whats exactly wrong
    After that you can decide what you want to do

  • Clearing cmos in k7n2 delta ilsr

    guys, i think i broke my ilsr... i accidentally removed the jumper from jbat and booted my system.  all i got was a continuous blinking of keyboard leds.
    how on earth did that happen?  
    well, i was connecting the hard disk that i got which is placed just beside that jumper.  maybe while i was inserting the cables, i accidentally snapped it out...  
    on page 2-30 of the manual, it says:
    You can clear CMOS by pressing 2-3 pin while the system is off.  The return to 1-2 pin position.  Avoid clearing the CMOS while the systemis on; it will damage the mainboard.  
    the question is, is clearning cmos the same thing as leaving jbat unshorted?
    actually, the system still boots, but i cannot do 3d apps anymore as well as intense microprocessor computations.  my system just locks up...

    Good luck.
    yup yup yup, that's exactly what i am trying to say... no jumpers in any position (jbat does not have any jumper)
    my board is damaged!  :angryfire:darn
    i tried flashing, but i did not regain stability...
    rma time i guess... i just brought the board back to the shop and i asked for a replacement.  too bad they ran out of stock... now i am back with my old kt3 ultra2...
      - how careless have i been!!!

  • FB05 (post and clearing) u0093The difference is too large for clearingu0094

    I am passing entry through FB05 (Post and clear). The entry is between two GL accounts maintained as open items. At the time of passing the entry there is difference between these two accounts. I want this difference to be posted automatically to profit and loss account. (I don’t want to charge of the difference manually). I can not post the entry because system is throwing error such as “The difference is too large for clearing”. I checked the tolerance limit(OBA4), but the difference is within the tolerance limit.
    Does anybody know how to configure for this situation?
    Do I need to do any configuration in FBKP?
    (Please consider this very urgent)
    Regards,
    Amit Bedekar.

    Hello
    Check if this helps.
    Reason Codes
    Use
    To use the clearing document to find out why a difference existed, you can assign reason codes to the line items. Reason codes are indicated by keys that you define in Customizing.
    You can assign reason codes for the following:
    Partial payments made for open items.
    Residual items created for an open item. Here you can assign one or more reason codes. In this case, you divide the difference amount into a corresponding number of partial amounts.
    Differences posted on account without reference to an open item.
    For each line item you enter in the clearing procedure, if the reason code field for the account is ready for input.
    Integration
    When you process residual items, the reason code also controls how the remaining amount is posted. The remaining amount can be posted as follows:
    To a G/L account that is assigned to the reason code you enter.
    As a new customer or vendor open item if you do not enter a reason code, or if the reason code you enter is not indicated as described.
    Features
    Properties of Reason Codes
    For incoming payments, you can send a payment notification to the customer. This process can run automatically if differences arise during clearing. In the tolerance group set up for the customer, you can define what type of notice to create for partial payments, residual items, and payments on account.
    The system can use the specified reason code to determine the type of notice to create as long as only one reason code is specified in the entire clearing transaction.
    In order to check a customer's credit limit, the total of open items is taken into account. If certain contentious items should not be considered, you can define a separate reason code for these items.
    Reason codes control:
    How the difference is posted (as a new open item or to a predefined G/L account)
    What type of payment notice is created
    Whether an item is included in credit limit checks
    For information on defining reason codes, see the following activities in the Financial Accounting  Implementation Guide:
    Define Reason Codes (Incoming Payments)
    Define Reason Codes (Manual Outgoing Payments)
    Define Standard Reason Codes for Clearing with Payment Advice Notes

    Hi Viral
    Is the Profit Center Mandatory in document splitting for your implementation ?
    If yes,
    then check the link below
    http://sapfin.blogspot.com/2009/06/issuesolution-accounting-document.html
    If pofit center is mandatory and the original document was posted without a profit center,
    You would need to contact SAP to get the original document corrected,
    and follow the steps in the above link to prevent further occurrence  of such cases.
