GX70-3CC won't boot windows after vbios firmware update

Hi all,
I just recently updated my bios and vbios firmware using the latest one, but after the vbios firmware update, i turned on my laptop and all I get is a black screen just after the MSI logo and get stuck there. I can still access the bios and recovery feature (F3 key). I even tried booting it in safe mode and it's still the same. I even tried refreshing and resetting my laptop but again, still the same. I followed the instructions correctly regarding updating the bios and vbios. The bios clearly shows that I am using the latest one when I choose system information in bios. As for the vbios, I can't see in the system information which firmware version I am using currently. However, during the vbios update, it just says that I should reboot my laptop to complete the progress. I didn't reboot my laptop as it says in the instructions that I should turn it off, remove AC adapter and battery then put it back and turn it on.

Well, I updated the BIOS first before updating the VBIOS. After I updated the BIOS i just loaded the optimized values in the BIOS then saved it. My laptop still worked normally until I updated the VBIOS.
By the way, how would I know if my laptop originally used AHCI or RAID? I didn't take notice of this before updating the BIOS

Pb won't boot up after routine software update

HELP!
Recently my PB has been giving me messages that my HD was almost full. I have erased and backed up some (but not all) files. I did a routine software update and after this the same message about my HD came up. My computer has not booted since then! I contacted apple and it seems that I will loose everything. I upgraded to Tiger and used that disk utility-it was "green" but when I went to try to do an archive and restore, it did not give me that option (unfortunately). Why?
Is it possible that the update extended me over the 10% needed for the system to work properly? If so, what can I do to save my files?
powerbook g4 Mac OS X (10.4.1)

you could try to preserve your files using firewire target disk mode if you have access to another mac with builtin firewire and some space on the hard drive. this article outlines the procedure. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58583

Powerbook G4 (OS X 10.4.11) won't boot up after latest security update

My G4 failed to reboot when restarted after latest security updtate.
The gray screen with apple logo and rotating gear stays on forever.
I tried booting in safe mode but same thing occurred.
I was able to boot in single user mode and run fsck -yf and it ran fine.
Then when I tried to boot again, same thing all over again.
I am guessing there must be some problems with new updates in the start-up folder or something. But I am not sure how to get rid of the files related to the new updates. Your help would be really appreciated. Oh, I was also able to run disk utilities application when I inserted Mac OS X installation dvd and booted from it. Then when I try to boot from HD, the same thing all over again...

I just spent a good 3 hrs or so trying to figure out why my imac running os x 10.4.11 wasn't rebooting after I downloaded the latest security update 2009-001. I finally got it running again after browsing the many helpful comments from past rebooting issues. Here are the steps:
1. On another computer, you'll have to download the security update that you believe froze your mac. In my case it was the 2009-001 update.
2. Save this file to a usb key, or in my case, to my LACIE backup drive.
3. Once downloaded, connect the USB key or backup drive to your mac.
4. Insert your install disc that came with your mac. (I installed disc 1)
5. Power down your mac. ( I did so by pressing and holding the power button on the back)
6. Press and hold the 'C' key on your keyboard as you restart your mac.
7. Let go of 'C' as the apple logo and spinning wheel come on. The start-up disc should start to run.
8. Choose your language.
9. At the top of your desktop you'll see 'Terminal'. Start it.
10. at the prompt, type "mount" to see a list of your volumes (in my case, the volume was LACIE).
11. type "find /Volumes/nameofyourUSB/*.dmg" Ex. "find /Volumes/LACIE/*.dmg" (This step will give the path of your update).
12. type "hdiutil attach /Volumes/nameofyourUSB/pathoftheupdate/SecUpd2009-001Intel.dmg" (Note the space after hdiutil AND attach)
13. type "/Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/usr/sbin/installer -pkg /Volumes/Security\ Update\ 2009-001/SecUpd2009-001Intel.pkg -target /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD" (Note the spaces again. Took me a few tries before I finally got it. If you get it right, you'll notice your hard-drive start to be active. Let it do it's thing before you exit Terminal.
14. Exit Terminal.
15. Go to 'Utilities' at the top of the desktop, select 'Startup Disk', and choose your OS (in my case, OS X 10.4.11).
Good luck!

[SOLVED] Graphical environment won't boot up after today's update.

Hi
I've performed a -Syu today morning and so far I haven't been able to get my graphical environment (gnome 3) up.
The update didn't seem to be faulty, no unusual messages caught my eye. Here's a complete list of packages that were upgraded (from pacman.log)
- shared-color-profiles removed
- upgraded colord (1.0.6-1 -> 1.2.0-1)
- upgraded gtk3 (3.12.1-1 -> 3.12.1-2)
- upgraded colord-gtk (0.1.25-1 -> 0.1.25-2)
- upgraded cronie (1.4.11-1 -> 1.4.11-2)
- upgraded elfutils (0.158-1 -> 0.158-2)
During the next bootup, when the information 'reached target graphical interface' appeared, I got some screen blinking and this:
"[drm:hsw_unclaimed_reg_clear] *ERROR* Unknown unclaimed register before writing to 4a000
This error message and the blinking appears about 8 times, then the process just hangs.
I have tried downgrading each of the aforementioned packages, but it didn't help. There's a bunch of diagnostic stuff coming out of pacman on every operation though:
http://ix.io/bZg
The first kind of error message, by the glib-2.0 files is Polish for 'file is empty or only contains spaces'; the other kind, by the ldconfig lines, means 'file empty, left unchecked'.
For good measure, here's my entire dmesg output. It seems to contain a bit more information about the unclaimed register error at the end.
http://ix.io/bZh
Please assist me in getting this fixed.

No, I don't have nouveau-dri installed. It might be the kernel driver. Messages from 'nouveau' have been appearing ever since I've installed the system actually, and I've learned to ignore them, but they did initially make me raise an eyebrow. Anyway, everything was fine and dandy for about 4 months now, until this morning's update, when the packages mentioned in my initial post were installed.
As for the second matter, see my initial post:
The first kind of error message, by the glib-2.0 files is Polish for 'file is empty or only contains spaces'; the other kind, by the ldconfig lines, means 'file empty, left unchecked'.
The one you're asking about is the second ('file is empty, it has not been checked')
I'm now in the process of locating and reinstalling the packages to which these files belong. I've already handled the QT libs (I think) and I'm going to try to handle the others:
all in the lib32 folder:
- libelf.so and .so.1 and -0.158.so
- libdw.so and .so.1 and -0.158.so
- libasm.so and .so.1 and -0.158.so
- liblcms2.so and .so.2 and .so.2.0.6
I have no knowledge of how these affect the bootup of Gnome however...
edit:
I have successfully reinstalled the following packages:
lib32-lcms2
lib32-elfutils
lib32-qt4
rebooting...
...and still just a mouse cursor over the bootup log...
The last line of dmsg says:
systemd-journald[204] Failed to write entry (26 items, 170304121 bytes) despite vacuuming, ignoring: Argument list too long
is there a way to get a hold of what can't be written in there? I don't know where else to look for information on what's wrong.
There's also this in the journalctl (both the last one and the previous one I pasted). The problem _is_ Gnome rendering nothing but a cursor, so perhaps this could be of use...
kwi 29 19:59:18 wapiti gnome-session[465]: (gnome-shell:500): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchscreen' is not installed
kwi 29 19:59:18 wapiti kernel: traps: gnome-shell[500] trap int3 ip:7fb603707993 sp:7fff2a1a55f0 error:0
I have pursued that trail. Indeed, it turned out that my gnome-settings-manager package was completely broken. Its configuration files were empty (the ones in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas), as was /var/lib/pacman/local/gnome-settings-daemon-3.12.1-2/files file.
I have performed a pacman -S --force gnome-settings-daemon and I'm no longer writing from my girlfriend's PC
I have a follow-up question to the more knowledgable - how and why can a package become corrupted like this??
My Gnome booted up, however it works pretty damn choppy. It's as fast as normal, but there are no animations. Also, there are frequent glitches before a window is rendered. Part of the screen becomes all scrambled for a moment before the window appears.
I'll try to look for reasons on my own, but I'd still appreciate advice on debugging my glitchy Gnome and explanations as to why gnome-settings-daemon had basically wiped itself out...
Ok, on a final note in this topic: the glitches were fixed by force reinstalling xf86-video-intel and intel-dri.

MacBook Pro won't boot up after interruption of update

I interrupted the installation for the OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 and now my MacBook Pro will not boot up. Any suggestions besides calling Apple support or going to the store?

I am having the same problem with my Macbook Pro. Did you manage to find a solution to this problem?

Solaris 11.1 boot hangs after motherboard firmware update

I flashed my Supermicro X9SAE motherboard to v2.0a (form v1.0), now my system hangs displaying "SunOS Release 5.11 Version 11.1 64-bit Screen. Copyright,,,,,"
The grub menu appears ok before this, from which I have tried playing around with kmds debug modes and kernel debug (which hangs)(https://blogs.oracle.com/dmick/entry/diagnosing_kernel_hangs_panics_with).
I have attempted booting form the live media, but this hangs in the same place. Supermicro support sent me firmware v2.00 (build date 07/31/2012) earlier today, I re-flashed but same problem. I am hoping they can provide me with v1.0. Could this be the problem - incompatible bios? Most appreciative of any assistance that can be provided.
My system specs;
Supermicro X9SAE Motherboard
Intel Xeon E3-1275v2 Processor
4 x 8GB DDR3-1333 ECC x8 SERVER SDRAM Module (HYNIX ORIGINAL)
1 x IBM ServeRAID M1015 SAS RAID Controller
8 x SATA Hitachi drives 7k4000 3TB
850W Corsair unit

MPT Firmware Revision 14.00.00.00-IT
SAS Address 500605B0:04EF1210
NVDATA Version 0E.03.00.04

Glad to hear!
I am unsure if this is a supermicro bios issue or on Oracle's side.. I'll probably end up opening a ticket in both locations. I love the super-micro boards so and their barebone systems are used for most of my system builds. However I did not notice this behavior with the AMD boards I used in VM Hosts even though they are also supermicro. So maybe its a Solaris VT-D implementation issue.
Are you seeing a message from Solaris at boot that says "Bios miss-represents the presence of IOMMU"? I get that on some of the systems that exhibit this issue, yet there there is no doubt that they DO have IOMMU capabilities.

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?

Hi Mike
This is called a kernel panic, similar to s 'blue screen of death' on Windows. When you say you reinstalled 3 times, do you mean the OS or the Update?
When does this kernel panic appear? You may have a hardware issue if it's happening on boot.

My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard (via my MacBookPro), either from the HD or DVD drive. Can't get it to run Hardware Test. Disk Utility says disk OK - files are there. What can I do?

My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard. I erased and re-installed by putting the iMac in Target Disk mode and usin my MacBookPro as the host. But after numerous attempts I still can't get it to boot either from the HD or DVD drive. I just get the white screen after the wheel stops spinning. I can't get it to run Hardware Test - just get the white screen. If I use Disk Utility via my MBP it says the disk appears OK. All the Snow Leopad files appear to have been installed. What can I do?

Perhaps you installed the wrong version OS X onto the iMac, you can't use the disk from another Mac.
clean the disk.
If it's not working then use this method to create a bootable 10.6 USB from the iMac machine specific 10.6 disk or the 10.6.3 retail disk on your other Mac, use it to boot the iMac with.

Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update

My MacBook will not boot up after running Software Update (Security update + Java?) earlier today. I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. I have tried restarts several times and tried to start up from my original system DVD - this makes no difference.
I called Apple support, tried resetting the power and PRAM - still no difference. He had no knowledge of other problems reported; although I note recent post may have same issue.
I cannot get an appointment at my Apple Store before Monday.
Any suggestions?

Still no success. When I hold down the option key when powering up I get the hard disk icon plus arrowhead (only). When clicking the arrowhead it goes to the gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.
This happens both with DVD in slot and without DVD. the DVD image is not coming up on screen. When I start up without DVD the hard disk icon appears promptly. When I start with DVD in the DVD is spinning for a short period before the hard disk icon appears. On clicking the arrowhead to hard disk icon the DVD spins again for a while then stops. Apart from the DVD spinning, both situations result in gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.

After a firmware update to airport express should I unplug the unit then plug it back in? (bascially reboot it)

After a firmware update to airport express should I unplug the unit wait a bit and plug it back in? (basically a reboot)

I updated the firmware on the 2nd of this month. Everything was fine. About a week later internet speed began to be slow. I rebooted the modem and the speed was okay for awhile, then slow again. I'm wondering if it's the airport express. It didn't tell me to reboot at the end of the installation.

Wlan error after a firmware update

Ok there seem to be many posts about this issue but i cannot find anything that seems to work for me.
I not to recently updated my N95 8Gb firmware to 20.0.16 and found that I was having errors with WPA on WLan, previously I had no such problem and the issue only occured after the firmware update.
to add some more info I am on a network with a linksys wrt300n
I have tried wep it works but dont want to compromise security.
All computers on the network are using wireless g and the key is definitely correct when entered
any help would be most appreciated

I don't have N95, but if the firmware is updated to latest version the wpa most likely wpa2. Having wpa in place of wep gives only very little added security for a determined hacker! It will only takes 30min to an hour to crack that. Security like that deter only the free net riders. Try if there is upgrade for your modem/router, its usualy the case. For home network wep or wpa sufficed.
Knowledge not shared is knowledge wasted!
If you find it helpfull, it's not hard to click the STAR..

Incompatible after the firmware update

I had missing the dictionary (including the icon on the screen) and chinese language currently stored in my nokia 6680 after the firmware update. what is the problems?

Yes I m using one of the default themes.
I have even done the re-installation of the same firmware version again, it did not work.
Each time I flash the firmware, installed applications become unworkable although the icons still remained in the menu. IT is always a great hassle to have to re-install all applications over again.
tsk.
