~HELP!~ WINXP WON'T BOOT ON 865PE NEO2-LS

Hello, I just purchased the MSI 865PE NEO2-LS and an MSI FX5600. I wrote zeros to my hard drive and when I try to boot from the Windows XP CD or floppy this is the result:
"Line 613 of the INF file i386   xtsetup.sif is invalid Setup cannot continue."
Each time I reboot the line number is different (734,575,2983...) I tried two different copies of XP and Red Hat Linux, None would load. Please Help! Any suggestions would be greatly apprieciated. Thank You.

Change that power supply, cheap 300 watt power supplies arent going to cut it on this board. Try lowering your ram to slow and try installing windows again, that might help.

  • WINXP won't boot on FSB 166

    I know that this kind of trouble has been here many times, but none of the posted info has been a solution to my problem.
    I've just upgraded to XP2500+ Barton. The system is running perfect on 133 FSB, with the RAM at 166 (333), Sandra 2003 Pro results.
    But!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Whenever I try to get to 166, bios runs fine, but Winxp won't boot, claiming to either not find a crucial library ( I've received many various errors ).
    The farthest I've gotten, is the winxp boot screen, with the blue thingie moving, though the disk beeing dead. That was after setting a permanent AGP voltage and low driving comp.
    I have reinstalled the WinXP, that didn't work either. So underclocked to FSB 133 and I'm writing this thread.
    Could anyone help, please. There is so many positive comments about the KT3 Ultra 2 and Bartons, so why doesn't mine work.

  • Help: iMac won't boot past Grey logo screen with spinning lines

    My fiance's iMac (intel based) running snow leopard (upgraded from Leopard a couple months ago) will not boot past the logo and spinning lines. This started after at attempting to restart after installing updates to Safari and iTunes.
    When booting in verbose mode I get these lines:
    Launchctl: Dubious permissions on file (skipping): /Library/LaunchDaemons

    Then it just stops and does nothing.
    I've unplugged everything except the apple keyboard and mouse. Ethernet is not connected.

    Repairing permission is not the first answer. Should try to run fsck and reset the PRAM
    Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line.
    Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
    At the command-line prompt type:
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
    ** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
    ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
    Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    When fsck reports that your volume is OK, typerebootat the prompt and then press Return.
    Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    Your computer's PRAM and the NVRAM are reset to the default values. The clock settings may be reset to a default date on some models.

  • HELP: T440s won't boot after unsuccessful memory update

    I have a T440s that came with 4GB RAM. Purchased a G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB DDR3L 1600 SO-DIMM (1.35v, PC3-12800, 11-11-11-28) from Newegg and installed in T440s. I did disable the internal battery from BIOS before installed the memory. However, I found my T440s won't even boot. I then tried the memory chip in two other laptops and found this SO-DIMM is defective so it's on the way back to Newegg.
    Now my big problem is that my T440s won't boot anymore even with original configurations. Push the power button, there is no response from T440s. However, I do observed LEDs blink. When only use battery, then LEDs give one short blink every few seconds. LEDs will give four short blinks every few seconds if I plug in the wall power supply.
    Did I kill my T440s ? Any way that can wake it up or I just need to contact Lenovo for warranty service?
    Any help/suggestion is appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    <<It turned out that the defective memory killed the motherboard. >>
    The what now?
    I'd like to know more about that. 

  • HELP, K8N won't boot into bios or anything. need to reset board to default

    I got playing with the MB and tried HT 5x, it immediately shutoff and now won't let me into bios to reset it, so i'm waiting to hear from MSI. I tried clearing CMOS and everything, the damn thing boots on for 5 seconds and goes off. Screen stays black. Has to be turned on from PSU as power button at front won't do it.
    CPU: AMD64 3200+ (230FSBx11 = 2.5Ghz)
    MB: MSI K8N NEO
    MEM: OCZ 3700 Gold Dual Channel (2x256 in slots 1 & 2)
    VC: ATI 9800 Pro 450/380
    PSU: ANTEC True 550w
    Its not heat related as I've been able to run lots of tests and my case is open right now.  It just won't boot at all, black screen and shuts itself off.  All I need to do is get into bios to change HT back to 4x, but I can't.  Any ideas to reset to default?

    I tried having it unplugged for over 8hours while i was at work, tried taking the battery out, tried taking both memory out.  It starts up (screen stays off) and then shuts itself off after 5 seconds still.  I turn the power off, then back on at the PSU (the power button at the front won't turn it on or off) then it starts all over again.
    My ABIT IC7 would reset to default it turned off and on 3 times in a row...why dosen't this board have something like that.  arg.  So anyone know how I can get this damn board to allow me into bios?

  • HELP: iMac won't boot up.

    Old iMac, due for replacement.  Working as expected until other day.  Now won't boot past initial apple splash screen, then dies after 10 seconds.

    Sounds like a hardware failure, you can run Apple Hardware Test in Extended mode however you will need the original install discs. In order to get a replacement set you need to call AppleCare, give them a credit card number and the serial number of the machine and for a nominal charge they will replace them. However your machine is  pretty old if still running Leopard. You may want to consider options such as taking it to your local Apple Store or AASP to be professionally diagnosed and repaired or possibly even upgrading to a new machine if necessary.

  • HELP! Won't boot update of 10.6.5

    I just installed 10.6.5 on my 13" Aluminum Unibody Late 2008 Macbook up from 10.6.4 and now my Mac side won't boot up (I have a windows side that I have to select by holding down option when the white screen comes up). What happened was, I installed the 10.6.5 update and then rebooted my computer, and the apple came up with a loading bar like it was installing the new update, and the update bar completed, but then it started over, and then the computer just turned off. And now every time I try to boot up the mac side, it does the loading bar, completes it, and then shuts off.
    What do I do?

    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run _*Repair Disk*_ from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select *Disk Utility.*
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click *First Aid.*
    Click _*Repair Disk.*_

  • WinXP Won't boot with K8N Neos2 Platinum board

    My motherboard is K8N Neos2 Platinum.
    I am trying to install WinXP professional edition with SP 2.  It seems like that every time I add any newer driver like sound card or GART driver, it will render the hard drive unbootable.  I have one SATA harddrive.  
    I have reformatted many times now and try to reinstall WinXp many times.  Every time I have delete the partition, format the harddrive, reinstall WinXP.  It will work just fine the first time.  But as soon as I install the Drivers that comes with the motherboard or the sound card driver for the on-board audio, my harddrive will not boot.  I will receive a message like 'Non-System disk or disk error Replace and strke any key when ready".
    Then I can pop the WinXP disk, do the repair and reload the OS, then it will come back up again.  But then as soon as I add the sound card driver or the driver files that come with the motherboard, it makes my Harddrive not bootable again.
    Does any one has any experience like this and how do you solve this issue?
    It's very frustrating since I can't even get pass the OS stage.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    The harddrive is Hitachi SATA 120 Gb
    The CPU is Athlon 64 3500+ 939 Pin
    The video card is ATI 9600XT (Built by Sapphire Technologies)
    The Install CD is the SP2 version of the WinXP.
    The power supply is 400W Max DC output are:
    +3.3v=28A, +5v = 40A, +12v=18A
    -12=0.5A, -5=0.5A, +5SB=1.5A
    I haven't plug in the USB and the D-Blank USB card that comes with the Motherboard.
    I also have turned off the nVidia LAN MAC and the onboard LAN card.  I want to add one thing at a time.
    Hope this helps...  Thanks...

  • HELP - Xp won't boot - getting blue screen

    Just installed a msi 865pe neo 2 board with:
    80mb 7200 ide-100 hd
    kingston 512 3200 value ram
    newest bios 1.9 I believe
    ram checks out ok, can not get XP to load
    When the splash screen is suppose to show up I get the blue error screen
    with error:
    STOP 0x0000007B (0xf894c640, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000,0x00000000)
    I've looked it up with microsoft and it looks like a conflict with the raid device.
    But I have not SATA drives, just my ide drive.
    I've tried using P-ATA only with S-ATA disabled and in native mode.
    Still nothing.  I've tried just about every other combination in the bios also and still nothing.
    One thing that is weird though if I disable the L1 and L2 Cache, I can actually make it to the xp splash screen but then it loads very slow and crashes again into the blue screen with the same error.  
    Another odity is when I enable "APIC ACPI SCI IRQ" in the advanced menu, my computer will just freeze when the xp splash screen is suppose to come on, but do nothing else.
    Need some help or I think I'm gonna get another motherboard.  I'm really fed up.

    If you are trying to install now, try this in order:
    1 Increase ram voltage to 1.8
    2 Try just one stick
    3 Try with hyperthreading disabled (still with 1 stick)
    Well all the above.  
    Also when I boot off the my xp hard drive it give me that blue screen, also when I try to run the XP install disc I get the same blue screen.  I've even tried to boot off a USB ide drive that had windows xp installed on it, but the same blue screen.  I've looked up the error code on microsofts web site and it says something of the sort that there could be a conflict between the raid device and my ide controller.  I have no sata drive!!  I'm so sick of this motherboard.  I serously am thinking about returning and buying something else if I can't get it working soon.

  • Need some help, system won't boot now.

    Yesterday, I was having trouble getting WinXP installed on my SATA drive...after I tried some stuff to no avail, I decided to call it a night.  When I got up, I went to boot up the system and now all that happens is the 1 LED light flashes and the CD-ROM LED light flashes(and even these don't happen all the time).  Nothing else happens, fans don't start etc.  So I need some help on troubleshooting this prob.  When I do start it up, the D-bracket LEDs flash 4 red also, just flash like the other LED lights.  My first guess would be that the PSU is dead?  My PSU is a Antec Truepower 380W.  Any help is much appreciated.

    Believe Bas; As he is 100% Correct, as even 18 Amps is not anywhere enough on the +12V Rail nowadays, I mean I think the New "Minimum" Should be No Less than 25 Amps on the +12V Rail, With these new Powerful Vidio Cards, that Require thier own "Molex" Power Supply Connected to them (As most of these Top Nvidia FX, and ATI Pro's) Need and they can demand up to 6 Amps themselves, I mean, these Cards Have 400 and 550MHZ GPU's on them with over 100 Million Transistors, Not to mention the Extra 256MB of High Speed Graphics memory, Add this with a New 64BIT CPU, and a Sound Card, and a Couple of S-ATA's in RAID, And the 1GIG of High Speed System RAM, and you Are At or Over 18 Amps Already , And we are not even talking CD and DVD's or the At least 4 Fans that you should have ...Yep I for one say the Day's of the 18 Amp Min. Rating for the +12V Rail are Gone Forever...Why do you think that all the Really Good PSu's have At Least 30 Amp Ratings on thier +12V Rails......And in the Case of Enermax, They even went as Far to Start Building thier PSU's With 2 (Dual) +12V Rails ...Thats right, Now they have a +12V-1, and a +12V-2 , Now the CPU gets it's OWN Dedicated +12V Rail, and the System Gets the +12V-2 Rail.......I just got the new Enermax for my 3RD Rig that I'm Building (Dual Opteron 248) Rig , with Bas's Help of Coarse.....But For $99.00 US  It was the Best Money spent yet, so much, for a little Price, as the Antec Units are More expensive...And I hear that they are doing a little Cheating on thier Amp Ratings these Days ..Ask "Wonk" he will tell you...  ..............Sean REILLY875

  • HELP - G5 won't boot at all

    Last night I heard a strange beep and everything froze up. I waited, and Safari crashed and the OS froze up again. Since I hadn't restarted in nearly 3 weeks I decided to just hold the power button down to restart. Since then, I get to the grey apple screen with the progress circle and it hangs there. After about 30 seconds to a minute the fans start spinning really fast and I end up holding down the power button.
    I've read througb this forum as well as several Mac forums and have tried everything people have suggested for similar problems. However, I am unable to boot from a CD, when I try to enter single user mode it the screen hangs on some code after about halfway through.
    Any idea what the problem is, and any suggestions to fix it? The Apple store isn't open today due to New Years, and I desperatly need to get this working, both for my job and peace of mind. If you can't offer any suggestions, do you think that this is a hard disk crash, and if so what are the chances of being able to recover my files? Or does it sound like a memory issue, in which case how fast can it be fixed?
    Any help/comments appreciated. Thanks.

    Hi
    It does not necessarily follow from what you're saying that there's a problem with the main board? From what you're describing it's possible you may have a faulty/bad RAM Module or two? Shutdown the mac and remove all the modules apart from the factory fitted ones. Try again. Go through all of the RAM Modules (if you have any more?) until you've eliminated them al. Whilst you have the side door open disconnect the IDE cable for internal optical drive. You can easily reconnect it later on. It's also possible a failing/bad graphics card is causing the problem . If you have another one handy you can eliminate that as well. Disconnect the hard drive also. Apart from the keyboard and mouse you should disconnect anything else that's externally attached.
    Have you tried a PRAM reset yet?
    Are you getting a boot chime at all?
    Have you tried booting using the AHT Disk that your model came with yet?

  • Help System won't boot

    I'm stuck...I have several older P3 and K6 systems that won't even POST when I have a PI21AG card inserted. I have looked everywhere I can think of with no success.
    TIA, Kirby

    Try it with the motherboard outside the case and setting on a non conductive surface having only the cpu with heatsink, video card and one stick of memory in the slot nearest to the cpu in the motherboard.  You can use a flat bladed screwdriver to momentarily short across the power switch pins on the motherboard to turn it on.  That will eliminate any possibility of the motherboard shorting against something inside the case.
    Also check to see if there are any unused mounting posts or other objects underneath the motherboard that could short it out.

  • 865PE Neo2 -FIS2R POST problem

    I'm having a problem with my newly built system and hoped that someone here might be able to help.
    I am using the 865PE Neo2 -FIS2R motherboard with a 3.0Ghz P4 800Mhz FSB and a single 512MB Value Select Corsair RAM (DDR 3200, 200/400Mhz).  The installed Video Card is a Leadtek Geforce3 Ti.  There are no other expansion cards installed.  There is no HDD.
    When I power on my PC, I hear 2 short beeps, a pause, and then 8 short beeps.  I'm also not getting any video.  I looked up the beep codes on the AMI Bios web page.  2 beeps for video card issues and 8 beeps for memory issues.
    I think the d-bracket is a great touch, so I check out its LED indicators.  It shows the pattern denoting a memory issue.  The only other RAM module I have laying around is a single generic PC 2100 266Mhz module.  So, I pop it in.  When I power on the system I get the same beep codes and LED configuration on the d-bracket.
    Are the MSI Neo2 boards extremley picky about RAM?  Should I be using two modules as per the RAM population table in the manual?  Is there a recommended brand/model of RAM?  Is there anything else I should be looking at as the cause?
    I plan on picking up some different RAM modules over my lunch break today but before I did I wanted to check with those who know before I blow money on them.
    Thanks for any help/advince.

    KevinS,
    Sad to say but there are some Corsair RAMs are known for instability problems with MSI mobos, especially the Low Latency RAM with the NEOs and NEO2s. That's why MSI has to test the RAMs to make sure that there is a list of confirmed and compatible RAMs for the mobo.
    Pheng,
    This AVATAR is better than the last one, at least it's not the 3X rated type... but I'll put an NC-16 PG for it hehehe... . Another thing is that I did not say that I hate the previous AVATAR at all... lol... Just feel that it is unsuitable for a tech forum where people from all over the world in all age and genders will be visting and viewing the threads. I hope you understand the suitation here .

  • [865PE NEO2 PFISR] Won't boot with added memory

    Recently I upgraded a few items on my PC which has been running fine for 18 months or so. I changed out the video card and bought double the memory of the same brand and type it had in it. I went from 1gig (2 sticks) and added two more sticks. But now it won't boot. The power is on but no output whatsoever.
    I RMA'd the memory thinking that might be the problem but it's the same with the new set. I tried all sorts of memory/slot combos. Basically, the new memory works fine if you swap it out in bank A with the old stuff. That's how it's running right now, so I know all of the sticks are good. I can take a third and put it in either slot bank B and it'll boot, but obviously not run properly. But any combination of these four sticks and the system won't boot!
    Please help!
    I'm running this system:
    Win XP (SP1 I believe)
    865PE NEO2 PFISR
    P4/3.0CGHz, 800M 478P/512K HT
    DDR Corsair 512MB X4 (400)
    Dual 80gb samsung HDs running SATA
    Sapphire X800GTO 256M video card
    Antec Sonata case
    TruePower 380Watt ATX12V

    What brand, model, and speed are the RAM sticks. Did you check your Test Report booklet which came with the mobo. If you can't find it, you can go to the MSI website and look for your MOBO and get the test report that way. Some brands/models will that have been tested are shown in the report to be okay in all 4 slots, some only test okay in 2 or 3. Check this report and if it is one of the brands/model/speed tested you will see how it fared. It may well be you the MOBO doesn't like your RAM in 3 or 4 slots.
    Maybe I missed it, but did you try each slot with only one stick at a time? You may also have a bad RAM slot.

Maybe you are looking for
