GE60 2PE Don't boot to BIOS, notebook bricked.
Hello, Yesterday night I was watching a youtube show on my netbook, running without power supply only with the battery (I only done this for 3 times in 7 months so I'm not worried about battery being discharged) and I fall sleep. This morning when I waked up, I tried to boot from hibernation to properly shutdown the system but the netbook doesn't boot.
Things I tried to do:
1º - I tried to power on normally only running from battery. Only power on with blue/orange power light, and a small light from the HDD for 2 seconds nothing happened.
2º - Power off by pressing power button for 4 seconds. I waited 5 mins I plugged in the power adaptor and I tried again with same results, don't boot.
3º - Removed battery and power adaptor, I pressed power button for 60 seconds to discharge (i saw this advice on Youtube). Plugged in only power adaptor and tried to power on. Same results, don't boot.
4º - Removed battery and power adaptor, presed power button for 60 seconds to discharge (). I connected the netbook to my TV with a HDMI cable, plugged in only power adaptor and tried to power on. Same results, don't boot.
Symptoms:
Power on, power LED in blue color for half second later turns to orange color only, no blinking only the same orange color all the time. The fan starts to spin in normal speed, HDD led blinks for 1-2 seconds and off. The screen is off (no light even on the back cover where the MSI dragon badge is), don't appears MSI logotype, no BIOS mesage or sound, no screen(fully black no backlight) no HDD. Laptop keeps running.
System info:
MSI GE60-2PE "Apache Pro",
Geniune Windows 8.0 PRO (My own license not from MSI, and it's 8.0 not 8.1 I don't like to update)
BIOS UEFI in fast boot mode, legacy USB disable. USB Handoff fixes disabled in BIOS, Enabled only boot from HDD/win8. The rest i think it's default settings.
BIOS: E16GFIMS.529 (previously .528 and .526)
Motherboard: MS16-GF
EC Firmware: 16GFEMS1.50B (I can't remember if I updated firmwares previously)
Touchpad Firmware: 03
HDD:Standart WD HDD, no msata drives. No intel RAID.
DVD: Standart LG DVD.
RAM: 4Gb Standart Samsung/Hynix? SODIMM + 4Gb GSkill DD3L 1.666Mhz (1.35v) upgraded by myself.
All drivers installed with the exception of the integrated radio switch controller.
Intel HD 4600 - OK (updated 01/2015 from manufacturer)
Nvidia Graphics - OK (updated 12/2014 from manufacturer)
Intel WiFi/Bluetooth 3160 - OK (updated 01/2015 from manufacturer)
Atheros KillerNIC - OK (Drivers version from MSI DVD)
Elantech Touchpad - OK (updated in 01/2015 from MSI support page)
Intel chipset stuff - OK (update 12/2014 from manufacturer)
Webcam - OK (no drivers installed, work with windows8 deafult drivers)
Software installed:
Only MSI KLM (keyboard light manager) with also installed a SCM service.
The netbook worked smooth since the begining until today for 7 months (really great hardware). The only thing i suppose that could be a problem with BIOS update (I updated two weeks ago) or EC firmware (I updated 3-4 weeks ago), since I don't worked withour power adaptor from new year, until today.
There's something I could do that I miss? a reset jumper, or reset CMOS button. Or I should ask to RMA to my netbook shop.
PD: I don't like to get a replacement netbook from other RMA user. I want my machine, I know what it's done and how it's done, I have my stickers in mint condition, I know my battery is well mantained, I have my FAN clean, I have the exterior and screen really clean and without scratches, have all my personal data on HDD. Should be worried about getting someones netbook? I should remove the HDD to avoid my personal data being compromised and I can lose them (i don't have backup)?
Also apologize my english, but the spanish forum looks empty and dead, only see news.
I suppose so, thanks chc for your time reading my issue.
I should contact my shop for RMA.

Hi,
I have updated my windows 8 update via the windows update, including drivers for my MSI GE60 2PE. EC Firmware latest from website, BIOS stock. When i try to boot up today it just keeps looping through the Windows 8 Automatic Repair. I can't refresh my PC, reset or perform any system restore. When I tried to enter Bios, it just shows black screen with white dash there. F3 System restore will hold for awhile and then links me to automatic repairs. For F11, which just show the white dash too. Please assist me. It just rarely 3 days old laptop.
Thanks.Quote from: Svet on 21-October-14, 18:06:25
Bump removed >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
Please stop bumping. We're not here 24/7 swapping around so there's 5 of us all the time. It's users to users forum and not everyone has a lot of time.
EC and BIOS version are inside BIOS. But since you can't enter it, it's an issue.
Sounds like you might need to format this HDD/SSD you have in different notebook/computer so you can reinstall Windows and it don't hang on this. Last thought is that your BIOS is bricked in some way. Did you try leaving notebook ON for 30mins on the blank/black screen when attempted to access BIOS? Sometimes that works. -

[Help!] A problem with the display of my GE60 2PE Apache Pro
I just got a new GE60 2PE Apache Pro and this is my first msi laptop I've ever had. I don't know what's seem to be the cause of my msi, but the display is always black and kind of glitchy at first when I just start it up.
The msi logo and the Windows 8's blue flag is also displaying fine, but after that on other Windows 8 OS, it's suppose to show the password screen. But instead, it's just black with several glitching white color. It's solved after pressing the windows button + P, which is supposed to control the dual monitor settings. After that, I checked on the display settings in the control panel and my device manager it's like this:
From the display settings and device manager, it seems that I kind of like have two monitors installed in my msi. It looks like one monitor for my Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600, and the other one is for my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M, although I don't know which one's running which. And it seems like the default display screen on my msi is the 2nd monitor (See from the display settings in control panel) because the 1st monitor is like plain black or acted like a projector in which I can either duplicate, extend, or turn it off using the PC Screen Only option when I press the windows + P.
But thinking back to every time I turn on my msi, the screen is black and I have to press windows + P to be able to actually see the display. Does this mean that every time I turn the PC on, the monitor is running the 1st one while the actual thing is running in the 2nd screen?
Is there any way to fix this so every time I turn it on I don't have to press windows + P to actually see the display? I'm having trouble because sometimes pressing windows + P doesn't work and I have to restart again using the power button to try and see does the windows + P will work the second try. Please helpQuote from: darkhawk on 29-May-14, 09:05:35
Delete, remove, uninstall, whatever term you'd like to use for getting rid of it from your device manager.
Disabling it won't help, it'll still be there.
Judging by what I'm seeing, there's an extra entry for a monitor and it's most likely the issue that's causing your screen to misbehave.
Okay, so here's an update about the current situation:
I did gather up the courage to uninstall both Generic PnP Monitor from the Device Manager. Everything seems okay after I uninstalled it, the screen is not off, it's just as before. After I uninstalled both monitors from the Device Manager, I tried to see the Display Settings, but it is still showing two monitors (With the 2nd monitor displaying my actual screen and the 1st is plain black). I thought maybe it has to be restarted for it to take effects. So I shut it down, and boot it again (Because so far just doing a normal restart won't occur with the black screen. The "shut down and boot" is how do the black screen occurs again.) I really hope that the problem is fixed, but it's still the same. Showing the black screen with some glitching white stripes, and I have to press the Windows + P to get to the actual screen again. After I look up the Device Manager again, here's what's shown:
The Generic PnP Monitor showed up again! And it's two of them. So is there any other solution or any idea of what's causing this?
Thanks for all the help so far. -
Z77A-GD65 Cannot boot from Bios A
Hi,
I was fine for years until about two weeks ago, when PC sometimes didn't boot up (no VGA signal, keyboard dead). I fixed the situation by trying to turn it on/off again few times and then it worked. Few days it was OK, and then it happened again. Fixed by the same way. Today, it happened again and I wasn't able to fix it.
I checked LED error code and it was cycling about 5 codes like 49,55,4F, .. (see the attachment). I tried to check/remove all components with no success. I also tried CMOS clearing (connect pins, battery out), but still nothing.
At the end, I tried to switch to Bios B and PC booted without any problem. I updated Bios B to the latest version and now I am fine. It also looks that problem is fixed.
But what is wrong with Bios A? I want to fix it and use it, but I don't know how. I tried to update the bios with Msi forum hq usb flashing tool (booted from Bios B and then switched to Bios A before flashing), but it is still dead.
Thanks a lot for your help.I also had some sort of same problem (Bios A not booting, bios B OK)
BUT remember one thing: that bios switch is not really hardware. To really switch between bioses you must unplug power cord, wait for capacitor to discharge and then flip the switch.
So the sollution for you (that worked for me twice) is: clear CMOS (search forum for detailed method). Switch to BIOS B, Make bootable USB with BIOS version 10.5 (A5) (because this version REALLY works with option to flash the other BIOS). Update (or just downgrade to BIOS 10.5) and then clear CMOS with powercord out and battery out. Boot from bios B and within bios flash BIOS A from BIOS B. You will have same version on both Bioses. After that switch to BIOS A (again after clear CMOS etc...) and now you just can upgrade to which bios version you want using the USB bootable stick.
I now have BIOS A with version 10.11 (AB) and BIOS B with 10.5 (A5) just to restore BIOS A in case of failure.
First time when I did this was because mobo failed to boot and can't save OC profiles. Second time was (probably) because of many OC testing. -

Good evening Fellow Gamers and Adepts.
I come to you tonight with a serious doubt , which has rattled me for a while , and after some intense troubleshooting i have came up blank.
Here's the deal , as stated , i have a MSI GE60 2PE apache Pro
Now , playing cs go has been the bane of my existence, i am aware there are heating issues with this laptop , but those have been fixed by a Thermal repaste, a cooling pad and the backplate removed.
Now i have no more throttling of CPU , and GPU appears to handle fine aswell; the thing is i keep having MASSIVE lag spikes in CS:GO , and apparently they are being cause by CPU issues.
Image for clarification .
(Standart situation , notice the relative low fps for a old game)
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80
After a few seconds the following occurs
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80,27y1P5C,aq30R4r#1
Notice the fps drop and the CPU frequency percent alert in game
another shot of this in console so you can see the several occurrences
imgur.com/cJ2Ly80,27y1P5C,aq30R4r#2
now keep in mind that these are the lowest game settings, in Fullscreen windowed mode , if i even CONSIDER putting it on standart fullscreen i get unplayable jitterness and fps that range from 10 to 80 , all in a second.
Now , as i have stated i have fooled around and disabled speedstep in the bios , meaning that the cpu is always at 100%, seeing i have removed the backplate , throttling is not an issue as IXT (Intel extreme tuning) can attest.
note aswell the "active core count" spikes to 4/3 in the exact moments of the stutters, meaning that both problems should , in theory , be connected .
Image for reference:
gyazo.com/e1257716681828d38213bcc0e5fa71bc
Details of IXT
gyazo.com/1f03a344b9ac2642b1a885ee0a8ea078
can ANYONE give me an ideia of whats going on ? i rather enjoy playing with games with friends , but this is driving me up the wall..
Lastest NVIDIA / Laptop drivers installed ; Bios Updated and EC firmware aswell.
Thank you for your time guys x) -
Boot into BIOS or mac equivalent?
How do I, or what is the Mac equivalent of booting into BIOS?
That question is more for interest, I see there are other ways to achieve on Mac what I would normally do from BIOS on a non Mac machine. Thinking of power options and scheduled startups here.
Thanks
NeilHi Neil,
Intel-based Macs don't use BIOS, but its successor EFI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExtensibleFirmwareInterface
To my knowledge, there is no way for a Mac user to boot into the EFI, only certified Apple technicians do seem to have a tool which allows them.

I am thinking of purchasing the 15" GE60 2PE & installing an SSD drive by removing the optical drive. I understand it would be better to put the HDD in the optical drive but how do I install the OS on the SSD. I only want to install Windows 8.
Also which caddy will I need & where will I obtain a cover for the optical drive space.Get whatever you want honestly. Almost any of them should work well.
Make the backup disks for your computer (through MSI Burn Recovery).
Remove the HDD, install the mSATA SSD.
Install Windows/etc using the backup disks.
After windows is setup and working well, install the HDD and ensure you're booting from the mSATA SSD.
Once you're sure you're booting from the mSATA SSD, erase/format the HDD and you're good to go. -
MOVED: Extremely Low Performance - nvidia gtx 860m - MSI GE60 2PE-489XPL
This topic has been moved to GAMING Notebooks.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=255963.0Have you tried the official graphic drivers (both Intel & NVIDIA) from MSI?
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GE60-2PE-Apache-Pro.html#down-driver
Select your OS and proceed to download them.
Usually Intel & NVIDIA drivers are generic and they won't support some OEM machines which were equipped with some specialized graphic cards quite well. Sometimes workarounds and fixes are missed or not patched in generic drivers after some periods so they may cause some problems. -
MSI P965Neo-F V2 doesn't boot/enter bios with E8500 cpu
I have MSI P965Neo-F V2 motherboard and I have bought Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 CPU today which is declared as supported as per http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=prodcpusupport&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1275 but after installing system hangs and don't boot or enter BIOS. I have latest version 3.8 of BIOS.
Tried to plug off everything except video card, tried change memory—nothing helps.
What I see last:
http://files.myopera.com/GreLI/albums/2485841/e8500-error-shot.jpg
then system hangs. When I try enter BIOS «Entering BIOS…» is shown and system still hangs. After reset yellow text «overclocking is failed and system is restored to the default settings» is shown and after I press any key system hangs… The number in bottom right corner can vary.
Tried to set lowest D.O.T. settings, turn off speed step (with my old cpu)—no effect. It seems like the motherboard doesn't really support Wolfdale CPU.Is the CPU SPEC Code SLAPK or SLB9K? I don't know if it makes a difference but CPU support list only shows support for SLAPK.
You should ask MSI if SLB9K is supported if that's the one you got.

Hi people
Got my brand new MSI GE60 2PE yesterday. Switched it on after charge yesterday and noticed intermittent black line across the display that flashes and goes away. its in different locations each time and happens even in the BIOS.
This is highly annoying getting a defective product.
Any advice?Quote from: nekromantik;108579

New K9N2 SLI Platinum isn't booting into BIOS
So i just built a new system with an MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum, and installation went by with a breeze. However, after supplying power, and turning the system on for the first time I'm met with absolutely nothing.
I'm not the most advanced in this category, and I've certainly never experienced the likes of this ever. I've gone through the hardware configuration a thousand times, and I'd know if it were that.
I was wondering if anybody knew a few tricks to get this new board to boot. I'm suspecting it's probably something small and obvious I wouldn't ever think of.
But yeah, any help would be much appreciated.
Current System:
Mobo: MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 9850 (black edition)/stock cooler
RAM: Corsair Dominator 2x2048Mb 1066Mhz DDR2
GPU: PNY XLR8 GeForce 9800 GTX
HDD1: Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB 10K RPM
HDD2: Seagate Barracude 1.5TB 7200RPM
No operating systems yet (which is kind of impossible since I can't even set the boot order without the BIOS loading.) But I plan to run XP Pro alongside Gentoo.All fans are spinning fine, I'll get the PSU info later, I took it from an old system I built before my last deployment. It's an 850 watt (single 12 volt rail) system, not sure the exact specs on it anymore.
I do believe though, that I've managed to knock something loose as it keeps beeping repeatedly now when it boots. Before it was absolute silence on boot. (which is weird because i don't actually remember installing the speaker?)
Oh, the DVD drive is from another system too, and pretty old, but it opens, and functions.
I also swapped between onboard video, and the graphics card to see if it was maybe the graphics card and still nothing.
Though I have to use a DVI converter with the graphics card (which is pretty lame for a 200+ dollar graphics card to have two DVI ports and an SVID port, but no HDMI port.)
Anyway, I originally tried to boot with my 1080P television connected into the HDMI DVI* port for the mobo.
Keep good language in a forum!
Now if I can just figure out what was wrong in the first place eh?
It seems the reset button allowed it to boot into the BIOS, but a regular boot wont?
Edit: Still wont boot into BIOS or POST though, I'm met with a blinking line that's been there for over 10 minutes now. -
MSI K9N Platinum don´t boot whit sata raid 1
Hi
Here my configuration
K9N Platinum v1.1
2 HDD´s WD 320GB SE16
2 GB´s OCZ systemlite 800MHz
NX7300GT TD256EH
I try to install raid 1 (mirroring) but at after winxp sp2 installation (previously load the two raid drivers) the computer don´t boot it not found the operating system.
Can help me? ThanksQuote from: Maesus on 13-August-07, 21:02:58
hi Timo, welcome to the forum.
Yes, this sounds like a compatibility issue. However, you can try doing this:
Get into the BIOS, set the boot sequence priority, put your OS HDD as the 1st boot device;
or reinstall XP, hit F6 for 3rd party driver, and install the RAID driver, even though you don't plan to install the OS to the RAID drives;
Also, file a ticket to MSI - support.msi.com.tw, ask them to take a look at this issue.
Hi Maesus, thanks for the welcome and your reply
Primary boot device was already set to the OS HDD, and I disabled the others (including "Boot from other devices").
I can try the reinstall of XP, but can only do so without the PCI RAID-controller plugged in, otherwise I'm not able to get beyond the motherboard POST. (Giving me reason to believe that reinstalling XP will not solve the problem, but couldn't hurt to try).
As for the ticket, I'm not a USA/Canada customer, so I'd have to go by my local European website (in this case via the Dutch support site http://support.msi-computer.nl/). They have this "ingenious" system where I have to select my MSI product, but their list is a bit outdated :( The P35 Platinum isn't listed, with the nice remark "If your product isn't listed, it's probably OEM and MSI doesn't support that"
So any suggestions there? Go for the USA support, but with bogus personal information (regarding address), or send a support request via the Dutch support site, but for another motherboard (Perhaps the 975X Platinum?) with a big heading of **** WARNING: ACTUAL QUESTION ABOUT THE MSI P35 PLATINUM BUT YOUR SUPPORT LIST OF MOTHERBOARDS IS OUTDATED **** ?
Thanks in advance,
Timo

Invalid Partition Error with each boot after BIOS update???
Need help from the experts:
I have all of a sudden had problems with every boot, receiving an "invalid partition" error every timeI start my machine. ONly significant thing I have done lately is flash bios to v 1.1 on the K8N Neo2 Plat board using MSI tool. I had no such problems prior to flashing to 1.1, though I have had other problems related to memory voltage...
What, if anything, does BIOS have to do with it? my drives are both 160GB, formatted NTFS each a single large partition...is the system thinking that's an invalid partition size?
At any rate, I have already tried a complete low level format of my drives and re-install of Win XP Pro from scratch to make sure nothing was corrupted, and sure enough, upon next boot (needed to complete some driver installs) I get the same error. Of note, I also get an error re: one of my 2 DVD drives...related?
So, for now, the only way around this is to boot using XP CD, execute 'R' for recovery, then use DOS command 'FIXMBR' to write a new boot record, and then I am able to get back in...until the next re-boot.
Have had numerous issues with this board / bios, though this is the most profound one.
Need help...this is confounding me. What should I be looking into, trying next?

AMD 64 3500+, stock cooling
