GE60 2PE Unable to boot

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.

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.

  • 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",

    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.

  • FPS / Stuttering Issues (Overheat , Speedstep Issues ? ) MSI GE60 2PE APACHE PRO

    **EDIT**
    Unable to post direct image links , please ad HTTP:// before links
    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:

    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)

  • [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 help

    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.

  • GE60 2PE

    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.

  • [Solved] Unable to boot (startup job is running)

    Hi there!
    Today I went home and tried to boot my laptop there, but was unable to boot Arch.
    Before I went home I did a system update using  ' sudo pacman -Syu '  and shut the laptop off normally. Right now I get the following message whilst booting:
    " A startup job is running for dev-disk...25EFDCE0.device"
    It fails after 1 min. 30s and shows a time out error for dependency /mnt/6776F38425EFDCE0, and refuses to boot. I waited for 5 min. but the only thing working at that stage is the shut down button (which appears to enter a normal shutdown mode).
    Grub 2 is functioning; Windows 8 boots up fine (same HDD); though all options to boot arch fail because of the 'startup job error message'.
    Do any of you know how I can fix this, or how to boot/fix arch such that I can attempt to fix it? Based on a search trough this forum it might be an error in FSTAB,  although all cases reported on this forum appear to boot normally after the 'a startup job is running 'error message'.
    Many thanks.

    Thank you for your response.
    Changing the UUID's to /dev/sdaX did not do it's magic, unfortunately. The ' a start job'  message is gone, the boot however gets stuck at
    /dev/sda2 clean .... (beginning of boot)
    Unfortunately I did not properly save the back-up of my fstab file, so the initial set up is lost. Was able to acces arch using alt+f2 and have restored it manually with
    lsblk -f
    It currently looks like this. I did have a line to automount my data partition (/dev/sda4, label: Data), but didn' t know how to restore that one as that line got deleted too.  My gut says this automount was causing the initial error, but it should boot up normally with the current fstab file, right?
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information

  • 2009 Macbook unable to boot in any fashion

    I was recently given a broken Macbook from a friend who didn't want it anymore, and had no interest in fixing it. It's a 13.3" Macbook from 2009 with a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of 1066MHz RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce 9400M. Since I can't get it to boot, and am not super familiar with Apple OS's (I'm more of a linux guy to be honest), I'm not entirely sure which version of OS X it's running, but from the production date my best guess would be Snow Leopard.
    So now to the problem.The first time I turned it on it booted to the login screen with no problem. Unfortunately that was the only time it worked. Now when I press the power button, it goes to the gray screen with the Apple logo, and the progresses to a blank blue screen. After approximately 5 seconds the screen goes black, and flickers in a somewhat periodic manner until I manually turn off the computer. In an attempt to fix it I tried to boot it in safe mode, but experienced the same problem. Next I tried to boot it off of an Ubuntu Live USB, but was unable to access the boot menu, and was therefore unable to boot off the flash drive.
    After doing a bit more research, I tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. I started the computer, pressing and continuing to hold the "option-command-p-r" key combination before the gray screen as per the instructions given at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379, but encountered the same progression of screens as I previously had, thus the only reasonable assumption is that it did not successfully reset. Next I tried resetting the SMC. I removed the battery, disconnected the the power adapter, and depressed the power button for 10 seconds, but this as well had no effect.
    Next I tried to run fsck by booting into single-user mode. Though it booted to what appeared to be the functional single-user mode command line prompt, after the line ":/ root#" I was unable to type any commands, and once again had to manually shut down the computer. On another attempt to boot is single user mode the message
    :/ root# AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement: initialization complete
    Broadcom2045FamilyUSBBluetoothHCIController::start booting in single user ... will wait for later
    [HCICcontroller][configurePM] power parent ready after 1 tries
    and another try yielded a last line identical to the first line of the above message, with the lower two lines appearing above it.
    I then, tested the RAM by trying all 6 permutations of the two 1GB sticks. With each configuration I tried to boot the computer normally, in safe mode, and in single-user mode, but in all 6 configurations the computer behaved exactly like (with the exception of it spending more time on the gray screen with Apple logo during the normal boot procedure when it was being run in the 4 positions that had only 1GB of RAM rather than the standard 2GB, but that was to be expected) it had been.
    Five notes of interest.
    1) The power adapter she gave me with it is an 85 watt model, whereas the stock power adapter appears to have been a 45 watt version, but this should neither have contributed to my current problem, nor caused any damage to the computer whatsoever
    2) The computer is unable to be turned on without being unplugged and removing the battery first. That is to say, after an unsuccessful boot attempt I must remove then replace the battery in order to try again.
    3) The battery is not defective, and is capable of holding a charge
    4) The screen was replaced at some point in the last 2 - 3 months
    5) I have read of a similar problem occurring with Macbooks that have had a new hard drive installed, but as far as I can tell the hard drive in it is the stock 160GB one that came stock with the computer
    Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and for any advice or help you can provide.

    Despite nobody having answered, I'll keep updating.
    I noticed today that as well as having to remove the battery each time before trying to start the computer, it also will not start if the power adapter is plugged in.

  • Satellite P100-347: Blue screen appears on start up - unable to boot volume

    Recently I left my 2 younger brothers playing NFS Carbon on my satellite P100-347, preinstalled with media centre 2005 edition, and now it fails to startup.
    During the startup process eventually a blue screen is displayed for about a second and then it shutsdown (I manged to make out the words "unable to boot volume" from the blue screen).
    I tried booting with an XP media centre DVD but it only gives me an option of reinstalling the OS with a price of losing all my very important data. Normally I would have recovered the system but I don't want to lose my data.
    Is there anything i can do other than taking it to a technician?

    Hi
    Well, mostly the BSOD appears due to a hardware problem or serious software issue.
    In your case the software problem is possible
    Unfortunately, I think the new OS installation is the best way to get the notebook running correctly.
    Now you want to know how to save the data and files well, I think you should remove the HDD from notebook and should try to connect the 2.5 HDD via external USB controller to another computer. Then you could save the files on the other HDD
    I think, now you know that the regular backups are important and necessary!!!!

  • Unable to boot from cloned MacOS 10.6.8 server

    Hi there,
    we've successfully restored a MacOS 10.6.8 server image to an Intel Xserve. However, there seems to be a boot cache issue. Sometimes I am unable to boot and MacOS Server won't restart. The Xserve restarts twice on the gray Apple screen. Than it's hanging on the gray Apple screen. no disk activity for minutes. I've waited 30 minutes. I had to power down the server. After that the  server boots normally. no errors in verbose mode during startup.
    I am using 3 volumes (all 3 using the same system clone). All Bay drives using the original Apple Disks. They are brand new. <29 hours.
    Resetting the NVRAM a couple of times didn't solve the issue. The booting error is reproducible. This system runs fine and it's really clean. I just installed the latest MacOS 10.6.8 combo Update
    I don't know what else I can I do? I really appreciate any help on this.

    Sorry for the delay in responding.
    Thank you, Peter. The Xserve running fine so far. We've had any boot issue.

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC unable to boot recovery disk

    HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC unable to boot recovery disk.  First when I power on my notebook it goes straight to the launch recovery or launch Windows normally screen.  When I choose start windows normally, it goes to the window screen and freeze.  When I try to launch the start-up with windows 7 start-up disk, the computer will not load the files.  When I tried to complete a hard drive test, it failed with a failure ID 9UXNXA-55E65V-XD003G-60XR03.  
    I'm looking for a solution, can someone help?

    Hi:
    It sounds like you need to purchase a new hard drive for your notebook, and reinstall the operating system with your recovery disks.

  • Acer Aspire Switch 10E - unable to boot, no keyboard

    Hello everyone,
    I have recently bought an Acer Aspire Switch 10E to do my terrain work, and would love to be able to run Linux on it. I'm running into one problem after another though (most likely because some things aren't officially supported yet, but I was wondering if anyone had any similar experiences who might be able to help me out. To cut the long story short, from my own experience, I'm sure Linux can run on this.
    In any case, the machine features a quad-core Intel Atom CPU (which should work AFAIK), with Intel HD graphics (which should also work flawlessly AFAIK). It also features a Realtek RTL8273BS WiFi network card (haven't got to trying it out, but my guesstimate is that it requires some proprietary firmware, since it didn't work on Ubuntu live). It has a 1280x800 touchscreen (which worked flawlessly on Ubuntu live), and a dockable keyboard (now that one boggles me). This is just a quick "tldr" version of what the machine is supposed to be. It's basically a 64-bit x86-compatibile tablet PC with a dockable keyboard and which shipped with Windows 8.1.
    Okay, so first things first. The Acer Aspire Switch 10E has a 32-bit UEFI, and there is no possible way of booting an OS (live or otherwise, Linux or otherwise) which only has a 64-bit EFI image. There is no legacy BIOS on the motherboard, so (to whom it may concern), don't even bother with online tutorials that tell you to switch to legacy BIOS, as there is no way to enable it. On the other hand, a valid 32-bit EFI image will boot, even in Secure Mode, so don't bother disabling that either. In other words, there is absolutely no need to change anything in the UEFI setup in order to boot Linux, apart from adding your 32-bit EFI image to a trusted list.
    Thus, in order to boot any live Linux media, it is (TTBOMK) required to either generate a working 32-bit EFI image, or use an existing one. It took me a while to figure that out, on top of the time to figure out how to generate my own 32-bit EFI image, without breaking something. Bear with me here - this is the first machine I ever owned that features an UEFI, let alone an UEFI without legacy BIOS.
    Here is the stuff I found, which I was able to use to get to this point:
    UEFI GPT Arch Linux USB (bootx64.efi and bootia32.efi) - Taylorbyte.com
    Acer Aspire Switch 10 can't boot 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu Forums
    From Ubuntu forums, I learned about this and this, both of which have bootable 32-bit EFI images, which work on Ubuntu live. Those, however, did not work with Arch Linux, for some reason, so I generated my own EFI images from the tutorial found on Taylorbyte.com. Not absolutely sure if I did it right however, since the tutorial seemed a bit dated, but it did get me into the basics I needed.
    So, I now have a bootable USB drive with Arch Linux installed on it, with both 32-bit and 64-bit EFI images. My Acer Aspire 10E recognises the 32-bit EFI image and boots into GRUB loader from it, which asks me whether to boot into Arch Linux or Arch Linux Fallback. At this point, my keyboard still works, and I can choose either.
    However, as soon as I choose Arch Linux to boot, it complains about being unable to boot from "UUID=<my USB's UUID>", and drops me into a boot console. The cursor blinks, but the keyboard input is not recognised at all.
    I have recompiled the kernel for my live Arch USB (via makepkg -o and makepkg -e) as stated on the Ubuntu forums (setting HID_MAX_USAGE = 65536 in a certain header file in the kernel sources), but it didn't do much. The kernel still compiles, so I guess that's a plus.
    Without keyboard, I am unable to install Arch on this machine, and I'm currently stuck with this error, which I'm not sure what to make of. I have never stated any UUID's while configuring my Arch live USB, so I suppose something is detecting it automatically, thus preventing Arch from booting (no idea what it could be, though).
    So to conclude, I need help with booting Arch live USB on this machine, as well as getting keyboard to work. I have read here and there some people had some success with either Arch, Fedora or Ubuntu, and I've seen (32-bit) Debian 8.1 installer boot normally - without keyboard or wifi, though.
    Any help regarding this would be very much appreciated.

    Hi Marc, Thanks for the swift response.  I'm not sure if Acer (Philippines) will be able to give the necessary support since they are only selling the Switch 10 (not even Switch 11! So backwards!) . I don't mind reinstalling the file from time to time as long as it will fix the problem asap. Would it be possible to know how often you reinstalled the exe file to fix the problem?  One more thing, the only thing that's hindering on buying the Switch 12 are problems like these (since we don't have the tech support yet). Would it be possible for you to send me the fix for the keyboard problem? Thank you very much! ++ How's the experience when you are using it on your lap, let say when travelling on a plane ? Is the built stable enough that it won't stumble that easily? 

  • Unable to boot normally - Always need to boot with Single User Mode

    Hi Community,
    Since last few days, I am unable to boot my Macbook Pro normally, running latest version of OS X Yosemite. When I boot, it goes to grey screen with Apple logo and progress bar, once the progress completes to 100% (after 5-10 minutes which is very longer than usual), it asks me to 'Select  language' which seems like fresh installation of OS X. In that case, when I click next and it doesn't detect my SSD (blank list of select installation disk/drive).
    After reading some threads, I found work-around and always need to boot into Single user mode (by pressing Command+S during power on) and then need to run following commands...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    /sbin/mount -uw /
    "device is write protected" numerous times
    reboot
    and then only it loads OS X and displays login screen. This happens all the times and I need to follow above steps always to get login screen.
    How can I fix this?

    Please help me out here. I tried booting it off a USB flash drive with ATV flash but that gave me some errors and prompted me to login with username [email protected] with password frontrow
    But I am not sure how to get to login using a suitable input. I tried to telnet it using my PC over network but I dont think it has initialized anything (like wifi or network) at the prompt. Would it take USB keyboard input? All I can do is remove the power and restart it with the usb flash out and get into then get into the recovery loop. I am not sure replacing the hard-drive would help. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
