Just completed new build and can't get through POST

Hello to all on the forum,
First time posting here, but have spent two days looking for similar issues.  Found a few, none of which address my particular set of circumstances.  Setup is as below, and upon power-up, I see the MSI splash screen, then quick screen mentioning a Promise bios, then screen with "detecting" followed by dots going right, finds the IDE bus, sees a single drive (all I have installed now), then message as follows, "BIOS not installed", flips me to the screen with Del for setup, F11 for Boot menu, etc.  At that point I can't enter from keyboard, and can't move from this screen.  The D-bracket has RRRG, which seems to indicate keyboard controller.  Tried several keyboards, done the bare-bones start up with Processor, vid card, mobo, and one stick of mem.  Still same result.  I was hoping someone could shed some light on this.  Any advice will be greatly appreciated.  I have built a number of machines, but never SATA, and haven't seen this issue before.  Just wanted to try and work around this before I decide to RMA this board and start over.  Thanks in advane.

Hi there had the same problem, d-bracket may be setup rong. Sounds to me like it can't find your HDD. running a maxtor 120 SATA HDD. had to use maxblaster 3 to find my HDD. once found! lost my cd-rom. on that problem I move my IDE cable and pluged it into IDE 0 set it up in my CMOS and all was well. AZUSE has the SATA drivers in it's mainboard disk but MSI does not. Go to your HDD sight and find the program needed to find your HDD. Befour install ing it Go into your cmos and set up in your advanced BIOS FEATURES settings under look for Boot Device Select and set it up.

    Just activated iphone 4S and can't get new voicemail greeting to override the old greeting.  Greeting from previous phone still plays even though a new greeting has been saved to the iphone.  Also, the previous phone still receives voicemail nofications even though it is no longer active.  What is going on?

    Just downloaded iOS 5 and can't get "reminders" to input new reminders

    I was having the same problem. I followed the directions from the link you listed, but the library file in the Previous folder was dated the same as the date of my upgrade. There are no other files in that folder. I tried anyway but it did not work. Any suggestions short of individually adding them?

  • I just purchased a new iMac, and can't get into my Wordpress blog. The username and password work on my old Macbook, iPhone4, etc, and all my other password-restricted sites are accessible...just not Wordpress. Ideas? New to all this...

    Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

  • I just bought quicktime pro and can't get it to show up in my system preferences.

    i just bought quicktime pro and can't get it to show up in my system preferences. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    QuickTime only appears on System Preferences if you are running Mac OS X Leopard, and you have OS X Mountain Lion.
    In Mac OS X Snow Leopard and newer, QuickTime Player 7 isn't included, so you have to install it before getting QuickTime 7 Pro > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3678
    After installing QuickTime Player 7, you have to activate it in order to get QuickTime 7 Pro. In that link, follow the steps under "Information for QuickTime 7 Pro users"

    Hi mwatts18,
    As a preliminary troubleshooting step, you should reference the information in the following article:
    OS X Mail: Troubleshooting sending and receiving email messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3276
    I would especially suggest that you delete the account and re-add it, making sure that you are entering the correct password when you add the account. Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

    You must be signed into the mobile iTunes Store using the same Apple ID you used to originally purchase iTunes Match. On the iOS device go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID. Log out, then log in with the correct ID.

  • Just upgraded to Maverick and can't get my opening page to stay on GOOGLE. it keeps opening in SITES and then I have to click on GOOGLE.

    I just upgraded to Mavericks and can't get my opening page to stay on GOOGLE. IT keeps opening in SITES and then I have to click on GOOGLE to begin searching. I would rather not hav to go through 2 steps to start everytime. I entered google's address in preferences but it ignores my preference.

    You don't say which browser you are using so I will assume it's Safari. If so then open Safari - Preferences - General tab and look for where you set the home page, just set it to www.Google.com
    If this fails for some reason then  open Safari and reset it (look in the Safari menu) and choose all options for the reset. The re-try setting the preference. Post back with your results.

  • I just bought a new computer and can't get it to import my music?

    I just got a new computer and want to get all the music, applications, contacts, and everything else synced with my iTunes. How do i do it? I have all the stuff on my old computer, but I don't want to risk losing the stuff on my phone. Help please!

    Transfer your iTunes folder (which contains your entire iTunes library) from your old PC to your new PC. On Windows, your iTunes folder is in the “My Music” folder. Place it in the same location on your new PC and quit iTunes before making the transfer. You will also need to authorize your new computer with iTunes with your iTunes account.
    Syncing contact information and calendar events is done by iTunes with the supported application on your computer, but is not stored by iTunes.
    You can sync contact info and calendar events with Outlook 2003 or 2007, or contact info with the Address Book used by Outlook Express with XP, or with the Address Book used by Windows Mail with Vista - the name change for Outlook Express with Vista.
    Before syncing contact info with the supported application on your new computer, enter one contact in the address book on your computer. Make one up if needed. If you are syncing with Outlook 2003 or 2007, do the same with a calendar event.
    This will provide a merge prompt when syncing this data, which you want to select.
    Any photos transferred from your old computer to your iPhone need to be transferred from your old computer to your new computer.

  • Just got a new IMac and can't get past the welcome screen?

    I'm trying to set up new iMac. Can't get past welcome screen!!

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

    I'm on a Mac and can't get the app tab function to work. I promise I read through all of the instructions; just still won't give me the pin option when I do control click.

    Does the context menu open if you control click on a tab on the Tab bar?

  • I just purchased an ibookG4 and can't get it to recoginize my PPPOE--any suggestions?

    I just purchased an ibook G4 and can't get it to recoginize my PPPOE--sure can use some help.

    PPPoE is a method of connecting to high speed internet modems with additional authentication than just your e-mail authentication.  As such you need to check with your internet service provider who offers PPPoE what your username and password are to connect via PPPoE.  Some modems have their own built-in PPPoE authentication software, and you should check with your internet provider for your modem whether or not that is the case, and if that is accessible via a web browser connection to a router address.  In event it is, the router address based connection may not always work Safari, and you need to download Tenfourfox from:
    http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
    And then open the router address given.
    Most PPPoE modems support a direct connection using Apple's Network System Preference panel.
    A very good tutorial that shows how to do it is on:

  • Just got a new Ipad and can't get computer to recognize it.

    I just got a new Ipad and when I hook it up to the computer it does not show up on my desktop or in itunes. And on the ipad screen it still is asking me to plug in the USB. I have tried 3 different ports, restarting both the computer and Ipad with no luck. Any suggestions?

    I did not want to start a new msg so I will just comment on the iPad cover interfering with the keyboard connector. I like to leave the Apple case on all the time. Then I can just pick it up and go. I was a little disappointed when I tried to connect with the case on and had to take it off. I took a razor blade to the bottom of the case and cut out a section large enough to fit over the connector. It worked fine.
