Help MSI KT8 NEO WONT BOOT

I just built a new system, first i ran it baone ,only
A64 3200+ and MOBO kt8 neo fis2r
everything turned on and fan's working.. then i plugged in memory and vid card.. get into the early bios but some error message came in i forgot but it sounds like gigabit ethernet controller something, i tried to unplug memory then replug it..  suddenly the system turned on and nothing on the screen.. then the system just turned off... , i tried to turn it on , but it just work for 1 seconds then it's turned off by itself...
then I tried to look at processor, wondering did it burn.. i opened the hsf and fan.. then wiped off the ceramique thermal compound, to see any burn marks or smell for any burns.. but nothing.. it was clear.. i put another thermal compound, re attached hsf, put into case.. but now the system only booted for 1 second (the fans and leds etc).. then turned off by itself...  i still tried this barebone..
could this be mobo or processor defect symptoms ??? My finger points to PSU rite now... dont laugh but my PSU is terrible... the +12v is 13Amps.. the others are on 20s and 30s Amps... I already ordered a new enermax 465 , but I just want to be sure from the symptom that it's not the mobo or processor.. cos if it is, i want to RMA it ASAP...
before this I tried an ASUS K8V, i could get into bios but the mobo didn't recognize the optical and hard drives.. the drives didn't power up at all if the IDE cables were attached...but when the cables were unplug and the drives was connected to the molex cable, the drives would work and spinned...quite weird, but it might be 12v power shortage... but just want to make sure if it is faulty PSU... but wont be getting it until tuesday/wednesday... meanwhile i want to RMA the mobo or processor if they're broken...
any help is greatly appreciated... thank you !

even with mobo and processor only... shouldn't the system just run ok ? i mean the fans will turned on, psu fan will works... my biggest suspicion is that the main power from PSU is not getting anything from the mobo and the other fans works because they were connected from 12v, if i plug a 80mm fan to the mobo, it doesn't work either...
with old power supply, i was able to make the system runs with only mobo and processor... they just lit up and works.. but nothing happens tho,just fancy fans and lights.. but at least the psu fans worked.. but then the psu overloaded, i changed with enermax and the PSU fan doesnt even worked if plugged into motherboard
 when i tried to use a PSU tester, it was all great, fans working, green light, but when i plug PSU to the mobo, PSU fan doesn't turned on...
could it be when the old PSU overloaded, it fried the mobo too ?? if so , what about the processor ??

  • Please Help :) MSI NX8800gt Card Wont work on MS-7255

    I have the MS-7255 board and the MSI 512mb NX8800GT card with 700w power supply and 1 gig of ram but the PC wont boot up. 
    Not even the BIOS screen will display, the fan on the CPU and PCIE card just keep spinning.
    When I insert my old radeon x1650 card the pc boots perfectly. I have tried the live update feature but when the tests complete i get a runtime error (empty object) and the update is not done.
    Main steps taken :
    Removed old radeon drivers, insert new MSI card, add 700w psu which works fine when radeon card is installed
    Seat Card properly
    Insert Additional 6 pin PCIE connector
    Turn on PC
    Bios screen doesn't show or any of the usual warning beeps, fan just keeps spinning
    Ive never flashed a bios before and I dont have a floppy drive or usb key 
    I'm sure its down to an out of date motherboard but the live update will not work for me on IE 6 or 7, can you help in any way?
    Ive bought a new card and a new psu I cant get it to run 

    I also connected the additional power supply to the card, but when I start the machine the fans on the CPU and on the Graphics card just keep on spinning and the bios doesnt appear nor do any sounds beep, unlike when I use the old radeon card when you get 1 beep and then the bios....
    As best as I can make out, the BIOS and the VGA bios are out of date but I cant use live update   
    PSU DETAILS :
    Silent Storm 700W quad 12v PSU
    4 +12V rails, 18A each

  • MSI 990FXA - GD80 Wont Boot.

    Hi,
    My GD80 board wont boot past code 99, it was fine yesterday but now wont do anything.
    It comes up with a list of the HDD devices, and any optical drives, the unganged status of the ram, and says press F1 to setup or F2 to continue. I have tried different keyboards(several), different mice/no mouse connected, also 1 single stick of ram instead of the 4x4gig corsair. In fact, all of the usual stuff for trouble shooting. this is a premium board, I find it hard to believe this cannot be fixed somehow.
    Any help appreciated.
    thanks.

    The problem is the same as the screenie above. I know that the board in the picture is a GD65, however other than the board version, everything else is the same. I pressed F1, just hangs with prompt entering Setup...... if i press F2 it just sits there doing nothing.

  • Help: MSI K8N Neo Platinum

    I've had nothing but problems trying to get this system running properly at any overclocking selections. Can you please review my components and give me suggestions on how to improve my situation.
    Currently my know problems are 1. The Mother Board will only read my (2) 200/Gig Hard drives as 127/Gigs. 2. Slighest overclocking & system won't boot up.
    Components:
    Processor: A64 3200+ NewCastle
    MoBo: MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum
    Ram: Kingston HyperX 2048 PC3200 400Mhz (2 x 1024MB)
    Kinston Ram - Tiger Direct
    Video: MSI N5900 Ultra-VTD 256
    MSI 5900 Ultra
    Hard Drives: (2) 200 Gig Seagates
    Power: 500W Aspire
    3DMark2001 SE Score: 6300
    Ok, everything I bought I got because it said it had Overclocking capabilities. So far any attempts to O.C. the system won't boot up properly.
    WHAT DO I DO?
    Thoughts on my other components???

    The first thing you need to do is tighten them memory timings you killing your a64's performance
    try 2.5,3,2,8 t1 2.7v
    Get the latest bios for the neo it is a truly fast board when set up right.
    Your 3d mark 01 should be in the 15k to 20k range
    If you are running 200gb hdds you need to run sp1 on windows xp as xp does not recognise drives over 137gb
    run your pci at 67 or 68
    drop your htt to 3x
    before you try to over clock you system get it running well at stock speeds or you will end up in a mess, there is not much point o/cin if its not.
    Msi neo need a bit of tweaking but it runs like a dream when you do.
    All your parts look ok

  • Help! my mac wont boot

    help! my mac wont boot

    Have you tried Safe Boot?
    You also might reset PRAM and reset SMC.
    Have you tried booting with the Recovery System? See its possibilities here.
    From there you can make repairs to your primary startup partition.
    Do you have a backup? If not, do you have an external drive large enough to back up your primary drive? It would be good to have one in case your drive needs repair or replacement.

  • Help MSI K8n Neo 2 Platinum

    Good Day I bought a  MSI K8N NEO Platinum recently and have these doubt ! I[m not upgrade the Bios because the system functions perfectly but verified that version 1.2 says Support FSB you 450MHz. What this wants to say? I gain more performance? Another  versions  described terms : - Update NVPXE version you the 2.03.0469. - Update CBROM version you the 1.47. - Update NVRAID version you the 4.81.
    What it would be these terms?
    Thanks a lot. Sorry my English 

    If your board is stable and you like it the way it is, there is no reason to update the bios. You should only update the bios if it pertains to you.
    Support 450MHz FSB is probably refering to speeds you can attain with overclocking.
    NVPXE is for booting off of the LAN. I doubt you need to worry about this.
    CBROM don't know
    NVRAID is to update the bios for the RAID, but again if you are having no problems with it there is no need to upgrade.
    Good Luck

  • Need help msi 945pl neo crashed within 3 months use

    need help. my mobo doesnot start, no post, no beep. 
    1.main board 945pl neo(MS-7236)
    2.video card: msi RX300HM TD128E
    3.CPU Type: pentium 4 3Ghz (531)
    4.Memory Type:512mb ddr2 533 kingston
    5.Power Supply Type:generic 500W
    6.Operating System:windows xp
    Just a bit of history, when i first bought and assembled the unit(brand new) it was working fine for about 5 times used, then the next time i used a message window appear informing "a problem has been detected and window has been shut down
    to prevent damage" and before i can restart my unit i have to reset first the bios.. i encounter the same problem about 3 times..
    Then just about a week ago (about 3 months after i bought it)while working on a MSWORD only the same message appear with additional info which state that :
    1... be sure to if uhave adequate space... try changing video adapters
    2. check your hardware vendor for any bios updates.....
    3. tech/info
    stop 0X0000008E(0XC0000005, 0XBF87C5C8, 0XF8834C80, 0X00000000
    win32k-sys- add BF87C5C8 base at BF8000001,
    date stamp 41107F79
    then a blue screen appear
    which has an info of:
    Beginning dump of physical memory
    Physiscal memory dump complete
    Contact your system admin. or tech support group
     since then i cannot open my computer, there is NO Beep sound, no post, but the power Led is on and the HDD led goes On for the moment then goes out... same with the cdrom drive its spin for a moment, i can feel also the harddisk is spinning.
    i check the power supply, memory. video cards and harddisk with another computer(mobo) and its working just fine which led me to the conclusion that it is my MOBO that has the problem. Can this problem associated with the Bios (by the way i never update my bios and my computer is not connected to the net). What should i do?? What is the possible cause of this problem??

    Hi!
    This stop error can have more then one cause.
    Please view the microsoft knowledge base for more info, like this article:
    - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/834450
    Your specific error code is not in the base, but you can try searching for "stop 0X0000008E in win32k.sys".
    Start by clearing CMOS using the jumper or reset button on your board. Please disconnect your pc from AC power first.
    Please make sure that Service Pack 2 for Windows XP is installed on your system. If not, install it (if possible of course).
    Please check your memory using Memtest86 .
    Please try booting from CD or from diskette (the memtest diskette is bootable by itself).
    If the system will not boot after you tried this, please try starting barebone:
    - Take out all your hardware, including the mainboard and lay it on a piece of cardboard;
    - Leave the CPU where it is;
    - Install only one dimm, your videocard and one hard disk (and your power supply) and try to start the system. You can use a flat screwdriver to connect the two power pins that normally go to your power switch.
    If the system still will not boot, try another video card.
    hello!
    i'll already tried the list you suggested, and still nothing happened, again there are no beep, no post. only the power  led that lit and the fan that is spinning. reinstalling the OS seem impossible coz its not even booting... i'll test all my other hardware with another computer and they are working well...

  • MSI KT6 Delta wont boot

    My MSI KT6 Delta system no longer boots any further than the memory test? why? any ideas? any solutions other than replacing the motherboard etc.
    some background:
    motherboard: MSI KT6 Delta
    CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800
    Memory: 1Gb branded
    Graphics: Geforce FX 5200 AGP
    PSU: Antec TrueBlue 480
    Screen displays the memory test then a message relating to BIOS setup i.e. "Del: BIOS Setup" plus a new option i dont remember seeing previously namely "F10: Flash recovery" btw pressing 'del' doesn't help you cant get into the BIOS setup.  Having cleared the CMOS via JBAT1 i now just get the MSI Welcome screen.  If it helps the D-Bracket displays a red led top left.
    its all a bit odd really, everything was fine on Friday night, but come Saturday morning its all gone pear shaped.
    any help appreciate

    OK. Well, the procesor is where I'd start troubleshooting.
    Step one would be to unplug power cable and other cables on the back of the computer, wait a while ( you'll hear a faint zzipp  ), and then move JBAT jumper in order to clear CMOS. That will force you into BIOS.
    Eh, thought of something. BIOS will stop sometimes if it can't find a keyboard. And you say entering BIOS is impossible. Perhaps you have more than one problem? a) processor's BIOS settings are impossible, b) the keyboard hinders you from entering BIOS. However, the CMOS clearing should in either case be a good start.
    Your problem very much reminds of what happened to me and others while playing with CoreCenter. I know you didn't but can't help saying so.

  • MSI P55-GD65 Wont boot 2 sticks of ram

    This is my second board I had the first one RMA'd back to newegg. The first one upon receiving it worked just fine out of the box. 20 days later computer would not post with 2 separate pieces of ram installed. Both sticks were in the Black Slots. After taking out memory from Slot 3 Computer would now post and I could get into windows just fine. So I sent it back to newegg. Now after receiving a new board Same problem is occurring in this new board. Computer would post the first week with 2 sticks of memory, Now it wont post with both sticks installed. Took out memory from slot 3 it now posts. Anyone have this problem or can help me resolve this issue? Specs are located in signature. The socket on this board is a lotes socket.

    If XMP is enabled the CPU will get overclocked.
    Set CPU multiplier to 17 and not higher than 20 with Turbo Boost disabled.
    WOW!!! this worked my computer boots up and both sticks are in slots 1 and 3 What did this actually do? I set the CPU to 17 and disabled the turbo boost.
    Computer shows 4gb but (usable is 1.99gb) im running win 7 ult 32bit. Shouldnt useable be 3gb with 32 bit win 7?

  • MSI Z68MA-G45 wont boot.

    I recently built my computer a few months ago and it was working great but now when i turn it on theres no video display no beeps no anything. Sometimes when i click the power button it wouldnt even turn on the first time and have to click it a few times before it can even boot up. When i click the reset or restart button i hear 3 short beeps and the computer shuts off and on. I moved the ram stick from all four slots and nothing worked. Do i need to get RMA'd I have a 3 year warranty. I took it to a frys shop for them to build it and its been working great. I dont know what happened. I night before I changed the switch on the power supply to turn it off but it was still on then i removed the power cable and it finally shut off. I had the computer put to sleep mode. I dont understand what happened.
    Specs
    MSI-Z68MA-G45 B3
    i5 2500 (Non K)
    Super Talent 4GB DDR3 RAM
    GTX 560 Ti
    LEPA 500W Power Supply
    Maxxor 120GB SATA HDD

    I cleared the CMOS and it worked but all my bios settings are messed up back to default and some of them are different then the default when i actually first set it up. Will it be safe to still change it?BTW thanks for the help I really appreciate it.

  • HELP!! Computer wont boot and i have finals

    When i turn on the computer (I have Leopard) i get a gray screen and a question mark. I really need it for finals - can anyone help...

    You should try booting from the system disks by putting in Disk 1 and holding down the C key while booting. Once booted you should navigate to disk utility instead of reinstalling the software. The ? mark is a sure sign of disk failure or disk corruption - if you're lucky the start up files are just corrupted and you should be able to fix it by repairing the disk. Sometimes a utility like DiskWarrior can sort out the Directory problem and get you rebooting again. If the drive does not show when trying to repair this disk, your HD has failed and you will have to replace it. Good luck!

  • MSI K8t NEO + Audigy Boot Problem only when power is unplugged on the PSU

    I ran into a really weird problem today.
    I switched the ps off by reaching back and pressing the button. I repress the button to power on the ps, then I click on the button in the fron of the case to power up the machine. System keeps rebooting itself every 1 sec. Bracket shows 4 red lights. In the manual, it says it means bad cpu. I remove the audigy and it boots fine. I install the audigy, 4 red lights.
    So, This time instead of turning the puter off by using the button on ps. I used the button on the case by holding it down for 5 seconds. I reboot and puter boots normally.
    So the problem is, if i turn the puter off by using the button on the PS and with audigy in the syste. Nothing on screen, and puter keeps rebooting itself every one second. Solution is to turn the puter off by using the button on the case.
    Has anyone ran into this problem? I have never had this kind of problem. It is really weird. Any feedback is apreciated.
    Oh and it is only with audigy. I tested this with original live, and also other PCI cards like nic, and another cheap sound card. Non of these cards showed this problem.

    Cavemankr!
    I never knew you could shut down the computer by holding down the start button for 5 seconds.... well I've never really had the need to...until I got this K8T Neo job. I wondered why it wouldn't turn off when I just pushed it. I've been using the PSU switch with these problems.
    Yep! She booted right up. Audigy back in action. I also realized I had my PC hooked straight in the wall (while checking to see if my surge protector was working this weekend), so turning off the surge protector wasn't cutting power to the cheapo PSU.
    So put me in your camp!
    I'll just plug the PC straight into the UPS and keep power fed to the Enermax. I hope that was the cause of my keyboard/mouse cold boot problem also.
    I'll assume the cheapo PSU will behave similarly. I don't really want to go through the swap again.  
    I wonder why that happens!

  • K8T neo wont boot

    I have a
    K8t Neo
    amd 64 2800
    512 hyperx ram
    ati 256 video card
    and i put in a new ati wonder, restarted the computer and got nothing.  Took the componet out got nothing, started taking out peice by piece untill only the MOBo was left still nothing, and i mean you know how when you start the computer the keyboard light flashes, it won't do that half the time, and doesn't get any father if it does, I have tried everything i can think of reseting the bios and cmos, putting in a diffrent video card, moving the ram, trying diffrent ram, nothing, i don't know if it's the mobo or the amd64, i don't have a usb thing with the 4 lights, so i can't use that to help.
    If anyone has any thing they can suggest please, contact, i think it might be the mobo even though power if going through, cpu fan and what not still starts, but it could be the amd64 though i'm not sure if it would kick in so early, i figured a bad cpu would make the system hang a little later.  I am wondering if i could have short circuted something.  
    thanks

    Is it a new board, or did it occur after changing the vid.card.
