Help needed, new pc stopped booting properly after 2 days msi p67a-g45

Hi I need help quick, I recently built a new pc and all was going well sofar but now it wont boot up properly, it keeps resetting before the boot post tests and the times it does go through to the tests the internal speaker does 2 beeps, waits a second, 2 more beeps, waits a second, 3 quick beeps and then finally after another second 1 final loud beep.  Also when I'm running my memory test (doing atm, I think it crashed though) the lights on my keyboard are continusly flickering.
Any help would be greatful
My specs:
Intel i5 2500k (not overclocked)
8GB ram
650w corsair power supply (had this for a few years and worked fine sofar)
msi gtx 570 oc
msi p67a-g45 motherboard
crucial m4 64gb ssd
2*1tb samsung hardrives

Ok I just tried messing around with the computer it seems that the 2 sets of 3 quick beeps are for the number of usb devices Ive got attached to the computer, their is still 2 normal beeps before the 1 loud beep so I'm not sure what they mean as I tried replacing all the parts and it seems to do the same beeps.

Have you tried with only one memory module on the board ?
yep just tried that, they both seem to pass seperatly and together as they make no changes to the number of beeps, the ram should of also been 100% tested by mushkin in the factory so I dont think they may be the problem

What is a few years, and under what usage pattern and load ? PSUs don't last forever. Suggest you also test with a known good PSU of similar output to determine if there is a potential PSU problem.
Ive had the psu for around 2 years and it coped with me setting the computer to run on a full load test with 3dmarks and prime95 for a few hours along with me having a normal gaming session on it. I cant test the computer with any other psu's atm as I got none spair to use.
Hopefully it was just the cmos being corrupted as resetting that seems to have fixed it, but it annoying not knowing what them 2 beeps are before the loud beep (which I guess is the all ok beep) is though.

    Running Windows 7 64 bit Professional
    Problem: Within days of building computer in January the computer started to automatically reboot seconds after shutdown or entering sleep mode.  
    Attempted Fixes:  
    -Total re-install of Windows + BIOS
    -Updated BIOS via LiveUpdate
    -Rolled back to initial BIOS that came with MB
    -Changed between registry option of "PowerdownAfterShutdown" between "0" and "1"
    -Disabled Wake-Up Events in BIOS
    -Changed to OS controlled Wake-Up events
    -Changed "Restore after AC Power Loss" to off in BIOS
    -Ordered a new PSU, replaced PSU
    Regardless the fix, if I try to shutdown - the computer reboots within a few seconds.  If I try to put it in sleep mode, it boots right back up.  The only way to get the computer to shut off is by manually turning off the PSU.
    I've seen that there have been frequent power-cycle issues with this particular motherboard in comments on newegg.com, just wondering if this issue has been encountered and if there is a fix available?

    Is this with no case wire connections to any of the headers? i.e. if you start it by shorting the on/off pin headers with a screwdriver tip.
    Yeah, as shown here.
    http://www.computer-how-to-guide.com/motherboard-troubleshooting/motherboard-post-test-how-to/
    Shorted on with flathead, boots up fine.  After flipping off the PSU to turn it off and then flipping the PSU back on, the dang thing waits a few seconds and boots right back up.  No short required.  At this point I think a ghost might be living in my computer.

  • What to do with bricked motherboard? MSI P67A-G45 AFTER FLASHING LAST BIOS

    I flashed MSI P67A-G45 by the last BIOS for IB CPU. The flashing goes twice with intermediate reset. Before I flashed P67A-C43 by the same version from MSI, and all was Ok.
    I flashed new BIOS from version 1I under DOS mode. There was a problem with pen drive and I used hard disk without USB pen drive. That was my error. The exe file started and flashed BIOS  normally and then after reset started flashing Intel ME firmware. I thought all is going ok and the image is taken from HDD. But after the process finished and motherboard reset, it didn't start at all. The fan starts and stops, LED blinks and motherboard behaves the same way even without CPU. What can I do? Is there any way, suppose, using a EEPROM writer? I have one and I can take the BIOS chip off and flash by old version of BIOS. What can You advise? Maybe the second flash process writes another chip - can You tell me about it. Please advise how to manage this problem.
    I received no help from support. I'm not a novice - I work in repair center and have soldering station etc. Can You explain me anything about second flashing process? I need only information and I will be able to manage th :lol_anim:is problem.

  • MSI P67A-G45 (B3) boot/loop

    Hi, just got all components for my pc and i installed everything. My problem is wheni press the power switch, everything starts fine and the fans spin up and the LED's on the board are fine but after 4-5sec it shuts itself off and tries the exact same process again. To troubleshoot i removed RAM, Video card, HD... just have CPU, cpu fan but still getting same issue..
    Here is the list of the components i have..
    Intel Core i5 2500K Quad Core Unlocked Processor LGA1155 3.3GHZ Sandy Bridge 6MB

    Sapphire Radeon Xtreme HD 5830 800MHZ 1GB 4GHZ GDDR5 PCI-E DVI HDMI Mini DisplayPort Video Card
    here is a video i found... its similar to my problem

    Straight power loop? Can't even get to BIOS?  if so could try resetting the CMOS, also try a different DIMM and/or GPU (even keyboard, had a couple post where the power loop ceased after unplugging the keyboard) and possibly best try a different higher powered PSU...if you can get into BIOS raising the vCore can help eliminate the loop problem, but still indicates something is wrong if it takes to much vCore for successful boot, with a 2500k should be able to boot and run stock at 1.19-1.21 for 3.3GHz

  • Firefox stops working properly after a period of time

    btw, I can't type in this box. I'm typing this in another program and pasting it in.
    Using Firefox 5. I just installed Lion yesterday for Mac, but this problem occurred even before I did so. After a period of time, FF stops working properly. I notice it when I try to open a new tab. It won't switch to the new tab and the screen turns blue. If I type in a web address, it looks like it tries to go there, but it doesn't. When I look at any other already open tab, it has the blue screen. I have to restart to get my proper web pages back.

    Whenever I click on "More System Details" there are several things I hope I won't see. Your Conduit Engine is one of them. It is malware by any reasonable definition and a cause of major problems with Firefox.
    Google for information and advice as to how to get rid of it. Someone may come along with more specific advice..

  • HT1933 New Yorker new sub will not download after 2 days 4G and Wireless

    I have never had a problem getting anything to download, but yesterday I downloaded NewYorker app then one month sub and the sub downloaded the cover and table of contents and each page like Talk of the Town has a title but says waiting to download.  I use 4g but took to coffee shop to download and use their wireless but did not work.  
    I have not received a purchase email yet, it is listed as purchased on my Apple Account though.  The charge has not come in on my online credit card statement.
    I have deleted app now, I don't want to fool with New Yorker if they don't have their act together.
    I subscribe through Apple to NYTimes and Economist. Not a problem.  I have about 10 other apps that all work just fine and all have downloaded and updated just fine. 
    Any suggestions.

    I hear that it will stop restoring after 3 days, so if you can wait another day, to make total of three you should be OK and will not need to force anything.

  • Stops recieving emails after one day on 5800

    Hi have been currently using the Messaging and find it really a great program but after one day my the program will not download any new email via send and receive. 
    In the  connection info there is specified that the last sync is successful but no emails are received. 
     If from the settings I choose to reset the data I start receiving new emails for about a day or so and the same thing happens again. 
    I am subscribed to a gmail and yahoo account. 
    Does anyone has the same problem?

    Nokia messaging that you install manually?
    I have a similar problem, sometimes messages sit in the outbox even though it is connected. I send/receive, exit the app, reboot the phone, but they won't send. I've had to reinstall it a few times because it keeps happening.
    Generally it's a good app, but what i really would prefer (and i'm disappointed it doesn't seem to be in the new firmware update) is HTML support in the built-in client.

  • Please Help! Macbook won't boot up after attempted Leopard install (Wont bo

    Ok so I'll go through EXACTLY what has happened to my laptop in the past day.. please note that the laptop was NEVER moved from the desk while this has all happened. Also a couple other things you should know.. I had Applecare, but 6 months ago when i sent it in to replace the harddrive -- they said they found some water damage, and it would cost $700 to replace... so i just put in the harddrive myself for $50, and it has worked fine since... So I'm pretty sure I can't turn to Applecare anymore...
    Alright...
    Yesterday
    One of my memory sticks went bad on me... (i had 2- 1gig sticks.) I took the bad one out, and the computer seemed to run fine on the single stick of memory.
    Last night
    I started to install leopard as an update over 10.4, seemed to work fine, though it was slow -- and finally i got to the leopard installation complete thing (please reboot the computer)... so I did...
    It starts loading up... shows the mac symbol with the loading circle thing... but wait, Oh ****, i was probally was supposed to take out the cd... So i turn off the macbook by holding down the power button... and I eject the cd, and then try to start it up...
    Not loading... ****.
    So after some mulling i decide, alright -- i'll reinstall again...
    I boot to the cd drive, choose my options, start the install, and go to sleep..
    This Morning
    I wake up.. the install hasn't moved at all... It's still at the same place where i left it..
    ****... so again I manually shut it off, and try and restart to boot from the CD again..
    NO GO....
    If I hold down C to boot from DVD
    The computer attempts to read the disk.. CD drive seems to power down.. then try again.. Then it ejects the cd, and goes to the Apple logo with the spinning circle, but never loads. I've tried it with My old 10.4 disk, and the new leopard disk. Same result on both. neither disk seems scratched either.
    If I just boot up regular
    It goes to the apple logo with spinning circle.
    SOOOO...
    I tried resetting the PMU, and PRAM
    Is it likely that it is my superdrive gone bad, at a horrible time? If so I guess i'll just buy one on eBay and replace it myself. Is there any way to test it?
    Could there by another problem wrong with it?
    Please help me troubleshoot this! I'd be very appreciative -- I'm a poor college Computer science student that needs his computer to work for his classes.
    Thanks All!

    Could there by another problem wrong with it?
    Yes. You need the two RAM modules, or at the very least the remaining one RAM module must be for sure securely seated. If not securely seated with only one module, the result is as you've seen.
    i was probally was supposed to take out the cd...
    No, not necessary. After that, the very delayed loading was totally normal, sounds as if you were just impatient.

    Oh, and check the AppleCare agreement, as to the best of my recollection, you can should be able to get a refund, pro-rated for time left.
    Check how full your hard drive is now. I'm not clear if you've yet erased your HD or how many systems you've installed - if not erased perhaps it's full up.
    A PRAM reset should allow you to boot from the install disc, access the Install Discs's System Profiler, and see what things look like. Also, you should be able to boot to the Apple Hardware Test - while you do need a working optical drive to do so, you don't need any hard drive at all, and it doesn't sound like either one has been lost.

  • Help Needed: Returning Back to Windows 8 after downgrading to Windows 7

    Hi guys, im just new here.
    I have a MSI GE40 gaming laptop which I bought 2 months back.
    Within those 2 months of usage, I always encounter my laptop to be very slow in shutting down. It always take, maybe up to 10 minutes to fully shut down. The screen goes black but the power button stays on orange color, & as I said, it takes a long time  for the power button to be completely unlit. But for start up, its blazing fast.
    Thinking that windows 8 itself is the culprit of super slow shutting down, I searched the net on how to downgrade to windows 7.
    Of course I did make a back up first on a 16gb usb flash drive using the pre-installed recovery software from MSI which was completed successfully.
    Then I made some tweaks on the bios (ie select legacy & disable secure boot) & boot using windows 7 installation DVD, deleted all partitions (since the notebook comes with GPT partition) to be able to install windows 7. I installed all the drivers which I downloaded from MSI website specific to my notebook.
    But the problem is not solved, it is still very slow in shutting down, & now even boot up becomes very slow too.
    So I downloaded & execute the firmware & bios for windows 7 from msi website (again, specific to my model). But still the same, the notebook is still very slow both in shutting down & start up.
    So I decided to go back again to windows 8, I tried to boot from the flash drive (I adjusted from the bios & make the flash drive to be the first priority) but it did not boot from it. I tried F11 on start up & selected to boot from usb flash drive but again, to no avail.
    So the last one I did was downloaded windows 8, make a bootable flash drive out of it, boot from it and luckily, I succeed - I have now again a windows 8 msi ge40 laptop.
    But I wanted my laptop to be reinstated to factory setting, i.e, all preinstalled softwares are there, the bios is default for windows 8. So I tried to update the bios to the one for windows 8 again (since I downgraded the bios to the one for windows 7 when I downgraded the OS to windows 7). But I could not update the bios, the laptop is not booting from usb flash drive containing the bios.
    I tried also to recover using F3 on start up but the system does not recognize the flash drive (with system back up). I tried also on PC settings but to no avail.
    Now guys, I need your help.
    How can I return back my laptop to default factory settings?
    Thank you.
    (sorry for my not so good English)

    Hello:
    I think it's not only about the OS version, you need to return this back to your shop to repair with the slow shot down issue, because the OS should be shot down in 30 seconds, far from your GE40 times.

  • Mac Book fails to boot properly after EFI Firmware 27 update

    hi
    I have a strange boot issue having (tried) to install EFI 2.7 update.
    When I restart the laptop, it 'chimes', displays a grey screen ... then chimes, displays a grey screen , ... for ever
    I hit the bower (off) button for 5 secs or thereabouts, and restart ... same thing
    I do this 4 times and finally it reboots.
    But the EFI update still appears as needing to be installed (software update tells me it is not installed).  Update history shows however that it IS installed.
    I can go through this process any number of times ...  I now have Software Update history showing quite a few installs opf the EFI 2.7 update.
    If I just do a restart WITHOUT installing, I also go through the same fail to restart / fail to start / ... / eventually restart sequence.
    So it seems now that the laptop will only start after 4 failed restarts and finally it starts ...
    After starting it all appears to be perfectly fine.
    Nothing strange in the console logs that I can see.  The failed reboots don't seem to register in the console logs - I suspect that the failure to restart is pretty early on in the boot sequence, well before it tries to load any semblance of the OSX kernel.  It is almost as if it is trying to boot from someplace other than the disk ... until eventually it gives up and tries the disk.  (I have tried booting with and without network cable - no difference)  I don't know enough about mac bootup sequences to know if there is some config/setting that is screwed up causing this odd behaviour.  I sirt of feel it must be setup/software related, but could be wrong.
    Odd.
    Any ideas?
    - chris

    I have a MC721LL/A early 2011 15.4" MacBook Pro i7. After I installed this firmware update my Mail would not load saying the version I was trying to start was not compatible with the OSX version (not sure whether this was an OSX update issue which I think I did at the same time). But the biggest problem I have is that I cannot boot my machine. It boots to the Apple logo and then emits 3 beeps repeatedly. I am on vacation in Osaka, Japan and the Apple Store here told me after running some analytics that the logic board is not seeing the RAM. After reseating the RAM multiple times (both original and replacement DIMMS), it still won't boot. The Genius Bar guy said very nicely that it is out of warranty and needs a new logic board, costing over $500 and taking a week at the factory. He recommended spending the money on a new MacBook instead. Since my machine is 15 months old, I am not very happy about this. The machine was absolutely fine before the firmware upgrade. I will wait till I get back to the US and get a second opinion from my local Apple Store. I can't accept that a 15 month old MacBook Pro very lightly used can develop such a catastrophic failure.

  • New T530: same boot time after cloning HDD to SSD - what to do next to optimize performanc​e?

    Hi,
    This is my very first post here so bear with me if I have not observed any guidelines.
    After I got a new T530 from Lenovo (i5-3230M, 8G RAM 1DIMM, 500GB 7200rpm HDD, 1920x1080, 16GB Micro SSD SATA3, NVIDIA Optimus with 1GB), I swapped the DVD burner with the 500GB HDD and put a 128GB Samsung 840 Pro as my primary drive. I cloned all HDD contents to the SSD and removed all stuff in the HDD (I don't have a Windows 7 disk that's why I didn't do a clean install on the SSD). After these changes, I found my boot time to still be 30 seconds - which I guess is quite slow for an SSD main drive.
    I've read up a fair bit on the Lenovo Community and the ThinkPad forum for solutions but have not found a conclusive answer to this problem. I guess I just want some advice from experienced users on what to do next after cloing the HDD to the SSD so that I can optimize the SSD's performance.
    1) I found the 16GB Micro SSD SATA3 is named "Lenovo_Recovery (Q". As I don't have a Windows 7 installation disk, is it possible for me to perform a clean install on my SSD C: Drive from the Recovery?
    2) If recovery is not possible, I am thinking of removing some of the bloatware(Corel burner, Nitro Pro, and many ThinkVantage utilities). But I also read somewhere that simply removing them does not help much (as opposed to a clean install). Is there anything Lenovo software worth saving (power manager maybe?)
    To be sure both my TRIM and AHCI are enabled. I welcome and am grateful for inputs of other advice outside the above two questions: for example whether I should disable paging files or set paging files to the 500GB HDD disk; whether I should create a RAM disk, whether I should delete or shift system retore files, or whether I should change locations for certain temporary files.
    Many thanks for your input

    You're already getting detailed advice here.  I'm just chiming it to say that the above doesn't sound quite right.
    Lenovo_Recovery (Q) is normally a partition on the main drive and contains the recovery image.  It wouldn't be on the micro SSD - AFAIK.  The recovery image contains an as-shipped image of your working partitions.  Even if you used it, you wouldn't get what's considered a "clean" install (from MS media and without the Lenovo additions).  You'd get the OS as shipped - modified and added-to by Lenovo.
    That micro SSD is probably part of the reason you don't see much difference in your boot times.  It caches frequently-used files and (at least once trained or pre-loaded) sort of simulates running from an SSD.  Without it your original boot time would probably have been longer.
    [edit] Did you make recovery media from your HDD before removing it from the main bay.  I'm all for clean installs (how I run my T420) but that might be handy to have down the road some time.  Also you might want to pull a copy of SWTOOLS (I think that's what it's called these days...) and save it on DVD or someplace.  There are a few things you can't download from the Lenovo site (3rd-party multimedia apps, for example) that you might want to add to a clean install later. The installers are in SWTOOLS (or whatever it's called....)
