K7N2 - System won't boot (CMOS clear does nothing)

I was trying to OC with the help of a friend. AIDA32 showed my processor running at 2000MHz (7.5 x 267). I was told that putting CPU Ratio to 12.0 and FSB to 166 would get me no OC, but that this is how it should be (?). Since I was being careful (cause of past experiences), my friend told me to set it at 7.0 and 166. Just to be safe. Anyway, I made the change and after that when I press my power button, the computer turns on but nothing happens. No signal is sent to the monitor, neither does the floppydrive do its friendly sound like usual. I was told to use CMOS clear, so I changed the jumper into clear mode, waited a couple minutes and put it back. Nothing happens. I then tried changing some parts, put a 900MHz TB in, another GPU and even tried another monitor (desperate at this time!). Now, I was under the impression that CMOS clear should do the trick, that I was safe. But since this happened last night, I even left the jumper on clear over night. Still nothing happens. What am I to do? I would greatly appreciate any help, I am totally lost here.
My system: XP 2400+ (Thoroughbred-B), MSI K7N2 (nForce2), 2x256 Kingston Hyper-X, Sapphire Radeon 9800SE AiW, WinXP Pro. Thanks for any help in advance.
P.S. A similar thing happened before, which mysteriously got fixed by changing parts left and right. I also checked a post on the forum about the multipliers being weird in the BIOS (that's what my friend thought too).

your cpu uses 15 as a multiplier so you cannot select lower multipliers without the wire trick
and if its new evan that does not work

be sure to press start before moving the jumper to clear the psu

  • K7N2-L won't boot when CD-ROM installed

    I'm assembling a new system:
    K7N2-L, Athlon XP 1800+, 48C stabilized in setup
    BIOS version W6570MS V5.0 031803 (from CMOS setup)
    512MB DDR2700 RAM
    Enlight HPC-340 PSU: 3.3V@28A, 5V@30A, 12V@15A, 285W max.
    I installed an old hard drive as the Primary master, WD AC38400L, that has Win95 on it from a previous system.  The jumpers on the WD drive are set to "single drive."
    With an old Mitsumi 4x CD-R drive as the CD-ROM (Secondary IDE master), it boots fine from the hard disk (the Mitsumi doesn't support El Torito, so I can't test booting from a CD).
    With a Sony CDU5211 (on the compatibility list) as the CD-ROM, the system won't boot at all, from CD or HD: I get the "DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER" message.  The system appears to never try booting from the CD, even if I set that first in the boot order.
    I swapped the CDU5211 with a CDU5211 in another machine; both CDU5211's work in the other machine and exhibit the same symptoms in the new one.
    Both drives are detected correctly on bootup and in CMOS setup.
    I have the boot order set to Floppy, IDE-0, CDROM.
    There is no floppy drive in the machine (who needs one, these days?); setting the CMOS settings to reflect that does not change the symptoms.
    I tried installing a new Maxtor 40GB (ATA-133) and got the same symptoms.
    I'm hoping I have missed something obvious; please illuminate me!  :)

    Sorry you\'ll miss out on IMHO what is the fastest setup I\'ve seen to date...

    Wonkanoby and I were just saying the same thing in different ways.  He was stating the jumper should be completely removed, and I was just making the point that there is a neutral position for the jumper.  I understand that there is no functional electrical connection with the jumper there, and that it does not matter if the jumper is on those pins or in the trash can.  
    My point about using the MS-6378 to test the hard drive and CD-ROM was that it proved there wasn't something wrong with those or with my jumper settings on the drives.  I know it's a completely different board.
    I like the specs on the K7N2, so I will probably get another one at some point (when my credit card has recovered).  I just got one with an atypical problem this time.  The discussions here of problems with the onboard LAN were what convinced me to stick with the ASUS A7V333 for now; that, and it was $25 cheaper.  I'm not looking for screaming performance ATM anyway, just something I can use for testing Windows Server 2003.  This is about the 12th computer in my home lab.

  • System won't boot up

    Help please. I have a kt6 delta running an athlon 2700+ xp chip, 512 mb ddr 400.
    When I set the fsb at the correct speed for the chip (166) the system won't boot hard drive led lights up constant. dvd drive  and cd-r drive each run but the system won't boot.  system seems to run fine at default and 133 mhz but the chip is incorrectly identified in windows (xp pro sp1) Any Ideas whats wrong?

    Hi -   I have the same board with the same processor, I have not problems rebooting after changing the bus speed. But I have had problems rebooting after adding in any card PCI or AGP. the system seems to have trouble clearing the Cmos, I would try clearing the CMOS with  the JBAT. it doesn’t always seem to work but I have had some luck, though I have also pulled out the battery a couple of time too..
    Good luck!

  • [SOLVED] Switch to systemd - Now system won't boot

    I saw that todays update upgrade included the installation of systemd. I looked the wiki and did the necessary changes (I already had made the /etc/hostname etc. files). So I added the
    init=/bin/systemd
    line to grub and now my system won't boot. I get an error saying something about syslog service not enabled and then a black screen. I can boot my machine fine without the "init=/bin/systemd" line but I want to run a pure systemd system since Arch is moving to it anyway. In the wiki it mentions to install systemd-sysvcompat but it conflicts with initscripts it says. What am I doing wrong or missing?

    Is LVM handled automatically by systemd? The reason I ask is because I have the USELVM= set to YES in rc.conf.
    I made the permanent transition to systemd and did not start alsa at all - sound works fine - so I never bothered with the alsa-store/alsa-restore service files at all - it just works! Also dbus gets handled by default in systemd so you don't need any starting of dbus service at all... it just works.

  • System won't boot-no chime.

    Despite repeated attempts and resetting the CUDA button, the system won't boot when start button is pressed. In the first few seconds it seems to make normal sounds; but no chime and settles into simply fan noise. This is true even if using C (with an Install CD). or Shift key. Is there anything else I can try? (I know it's actually a G3 B&W Motherboard; but I had nowhwere else to post it)

    I do not remember exactly what was happening when it stopped. It may have been executing something , hung up, and wouldn't respond to the Command-Opt-Esc or I do remember one incident when it was booting up and stopped when it was partly thru "searching for local discs.
    I checked the ref. article and tried to measure the voltages on the power connector. I was never quite sure what pin was what, since the colors did not jive with those in the article. At any rate 2 were approx. + 5 V (one was 4.85), the rest were essentially zero (I believe 1 or 2 were about 300 mv). I did notice that when the power connector is reconnected and start up is attempted, 3 little green lights come on on the motherboard. One goes off after a while.
    I have tried the old Sonnet upgrade and have tried reseating all the RAM modules. All to no avail.
    The Hard drive and all other parts seemed to be working fine prior to the failure.

  • System won't boot. INIT: No inittab file found Enter runlevel:

    After the latest update that changed how intel ucode is updated, my system won't boot.
    I think I missed a line when I edited "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" and ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    I can't run grub-mkconfig from another machine, as it uses the live kernel info.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to reinstall

    That would probably be mid-2012 at the very latest I think as that's when I remember completely moving over to systemd...

    Upgrade from snow leopard 10.6.8 to montain lion on a iMac system won't boot getting a crossed out circle

    Clean install OS.10.6.8 update it completly. May be you ignored some firmware update.
    I have two incedents.
    My thunderbolt port stopped working after upgrading to ML 10.8. I booted from external 10.6 , 10.7 still didnt work. Then i clean installed 10.6.8 and ran software update it updated the thunderbolt firmware and all is well now. This firmware update for some reason didnt show up in ML 10.8.
    Secondly , when i upgraded my Brother's Macbook from 10.5 to 10.6.3 it would install but stuck with crossed out circle. Then i downgraded checked for update found an efi update , then the 10.6.3 worked fine.

  • Btrfs: System won't boot anymore after unclean shutdown

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my ArchLinux (kernel 3.19.2-1-ARCH).
    I have my root partition as BTRFS and no /boot partition.
    After an unclean shutdown the system won't boot anymore.
    GRUB loads the kernel and the kernel starts but it hangs saying: Mounted /dev/sda3 on real root.
    Then, I have to start a Live CD and do:
    btrfsck /dev/sda3
    After that the system boots correctly.
    I've tried adding fsck to the HOOKS in the mkinitcpio.conf file and in fact it tries to fsck the filesystem (but with BTRFS, fsck.btrfs doesn't work...)
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    I'm also having this problem. I tried booting up the netinstall image to debug it, but I can't mount my btrfs volume from there either: mount just hangs. After a while, the kernel goes:
    [...] INFO: task mount:612 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
    [...] Not tainted 3.19.2-1-ARCH #1
    [...] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
    [...] INFO: task btrfs-transacti:636 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
    [...] Not tainted 3.19.2-1-ARCH #1
    [...] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
    From this post I guessed that I might just need to wait so that I could defrag the volume once it was mounted, but it's been hanging for over 15min now (the message above continues to come up periodically).
    Like the OP in the thread I linked to above, my btrfs volume is inside an LVM volume (which is on dm-crypt). Don't know whether that's relevant.
    Output of btrfs-check:

  • System won't boot after increased FSB to 166

    I have a K7n2 board with AMD 2100+.  The system was working fine until, i increased the FSB to 166.  Now when i turn on the system, no beep sound and no video at all.  There are power to all of the orther components.  I cleared the cmos, nothing happen when i powered up.  I have another system, with ECS and AMD 1800+.  I swapped the CPU between the two systems.  Placing the 1800+ in the K7n2, the system boot up fine.  But, the board recogninzing the CPU as AMD(tm) Athlon XP 1924 mhz.  It is supposed to be only 1.53 mhz.  The system run fine.  When placing the 2100+ back in, it won't boot.  
    When placing the 2100+ in the ECS board the computer boot up fine also. I eliminated the CPU problems.
    Thanks for any help.

    I got it to work now. I reset the safe mode(100 mhz), rebooted, go to the BIOS set to default, and reset the jumper to user mode (default 133).  It work fine now.
    Ignore the question, thanks.

  • New GTX 770 in existing system won't boot

    So I thought I upgrade my PC with a brand new MSI GTX770. The system just won't start. Screen shows B2 in lower right hand corner and a solid cursor upper right. After a while the cursor starts blinking and B2 dissapears. Still a black screen. No possibility to enter bios, no bleeping, all fans are spinning.
    When I put back in my good old MSI GTX580 all is fine again.
    I am an advanced (MSI) user but never ever experienced this before. Highly frustrating and surely no plug and play experience. What to do? Underneath you'll find my systems components:
    OS: Microsoft Windows7 64bit Home Premium Gold (SP1)
    SSD (boot): Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB
    Memory: Corsair Vengeance BLUE,1600-8GB KIT

    BIOS Version Mobo V10.1/21020208
    VGA (new): MSI Geforce GTX 770 2Gb
    VGA (old): MSI Geforce GTX 580 1,5Gb

    SSD: Crucial m4 , 128GB, 2.5", SATA 600, SSD
    DVD: Sony Optiarc DVR DL 24X,SATA
    Casing: Corsair Graphite 600T
    PS: I did not manage to find a similar problem on this forum let alone a solution to it. I tried BIOS A vs BIOS B to no avail. Somewhere else I read I may have to flesh the new cards BIOS but how to do so if I cannot even get it to work?
    Any help is welcome!

    Today I received the following I was like really???!!!!
    "Dear Sir/Madam,
    Thanks for contacting MSI Technical Support Team!
    Regarding your concern, there are many possibilities on why the system could
    not boot up. Therefore, would you kindly please refer to the suggestions below to
    troubleshoot the issue?
    1) Unplug all the components and devices on the MB, and then reinstall the CPU,
    RAM (one piece), VGA card and power supply only. Please add some thermal
    gel on the CPU, and then reinstall the CPU fan correctly and tightly.
    2) Clear CMOS (How to clear CMOS, you could refer to the manual), and then
    enter bios to Load Optimized Defaults->Save & Exit.
    3) Try to boot up the minimum system. If it still cannot boot up, please change
    another more powerful power supply for a try;
    4) If the problem still persists, please change another RAM with different brand to
    try.
    5) Please confirm the processor installed is compatible with the MB as well as
    the BIOS.
    6) If these attempts above does not work, we have to suggest you contact your reseller (The place you bought this MB from) and have them test the MB completely for you to check if this MB is faulty or not, then ask for some help.
    If the reseller for some reason can not help, you could try to contact MSI distributor from below http://www.msi.com/service/wheretobuy/ near your place or MSI office from below http://www.msi.com/about/contact-us/
    Best wishes,
    MSI Technical Support Team!"
    So adding a MSI card to my MSI Board mean I have to brake down all of my system, even remove my CPU (running fine) and buy some thermal gel. And while I am in the store buy a more powerful powersupply (mine already meets the specs) and/or ask my reseller to help me out checking if my motherboard (working fine) is faulty?
    Well I just RMA'd my 770. So much for plug and play; even MSI parts are not compatible. A real bummer.

  • KT6 Delta won't boot after clearing the BIOS

    I have just put together the machine as per my signature and run into a few problems. The XP 2800 mobile is not recognised as such but as a XP1800 when I set the FSB to 133. Am I right in saying this CPU should run at 1.65 volts as it seems to wants to run at 1.75. I changed the V Core to 1.65 and it boots ok but when I tried it at 1.6 it did not want to boot, ie no video output. I no longer get the single BIOS bleep and the monitor stays on standby. This has happened before and I got it running again by clearing the CMOS and reseating the RAM but this time I have done the same and it won't boot. Is there anything else I should be doing please. Many thanks.
    Having looked at the Socket A sticky I see that my diagnostic D bracket is showing 1,2 and 3 showing red and four not on at all which would seem to point at the graphics as being the problem.

    Hello!
    Voltages should be set to "CPU default" or similar. Your processor comes in different versions, try setting to 166 instead of 133. Always when changing processor one should clear CMOS, by powering off, unplugging power cable, and then move JBAT jumper for a short time, a minute or so.

  • [SOLVED] System won't boot (boots fine in fallback mode)

    HI guys,
    I just rebooted my headless server for the first time in a while, but it won't boot up.
    I just sits at this screen:
    Please note the system does boot using fallback mode.
    (also, nothing to do with the latest boot problem - systemd-sysvcompat is installed and boots fine in fallback)

  • System won't boot. Could really use some help here.

    I have the K8T-Neo FISR2 mobo. When I set up the system, the SATA drive was set up as drive F: (onto which I installed Windows XP Home). I added a 2nd SATA drive later, and it became C:. Both drives are plugged into the Promise SATA ports. The system has been running fine for about a year now.
    I was having a problem with a program not running properly. I stopped the process and tried to restart it, but it didn't work. It was a program that drives my Logitech gaming keyboard (with LCD screen). After I rebooted, the system would load windows, then after Windows was loaded, it would load up a program when I went into it and crash. It looked like it would crash on PXHELP.DLL (something like that). I booted up into safe mode, renamed the file so it wouldn't load, and now it won't boot at all. It starts to show the Windows logo and then instantly reboots. I can't even get into Safe Mode as it does the same thing.
    I tried booting from an XP CD to do a repair, but when it boots, it doesn't see the hard drives. I downloaded the Promise drivers, put them onto a floppy, and load them as Windows is booting from the CD. It seems to load the drivers, but when I choose to do a repair (or even a new install), Windows comes back and tells me that I have no hard drives attached to the computer. I just can't seem to get Windows to see those hard drives!
    I could really use some advice here......

    Try swapping the Drive Cables. You may have one that is not engaging as well as it should.
    When I let the PC boot up like normal (without booting from the CD), it sees the drives and Windows tries to load, so I don't think it's the cables. I'll make sure they're reset, but I really don't think that's it.

  • X-FI worked great for one day, now system won't boot up - NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Er

    I can get the system to come up in safe mode, but can't get it to come up normally. I installed the card on Saturday and it worked great with no issues (played about 4 hours of WoW with it). The machine booted up fine at least 3 times yesterday. This morning, it won't come up normally at all: BSoD:
    NMI: Parity Check / Memory Parity Error - The System has Halted
    I made a restore point prior to installing the X-FI drivers yesterday, so I am going to go ahead and go back to that point and hope the system comes up. If it does, then there is a serious problem with the X-FI drivers.
    My system is a standard Intel chipset running a Pentium 4, 3.8 Ghz - single core, non-64 bit with 2 Gigs of Ram.
    I will post back on here if I have any luck with the restore point.

    Memory chips are pretty vulnerable these days. The first week I had my PC I tested my memory with memtest and all was fine. A week later, I began getting BSODs, but every time because of a different driver or module. So I retested it and it wasn't OK anymore. Send it back, got a new one. Worked for a month, then same problems! The 3rd time was the good one... The memory lasted, but my Power Supply broke! After replacing everything is fine for a year now... I don't know if there is any connection, but I think my PSU was eating my memory sticks.
    But anyway, I hope your BSOD is just a "statistical" one.

  • K7N2 Delta Won't Boot

    Hi All,
    I'm new to the forum and I hope you guys can help me out. I'm having power issues with my box. It won't boot!!!!   This is was it does powers up then shuts right down. It doesn't boot long enough for me to check anything. It continues to do this if I don't unplug it. Please guys I dying here.
    Here's my configuration:
    Samsung CDRW
    Pioneer DVDRW
    Seagate 20g OS Drive
    Seagate 80g Data Drive
    Sound: Creative Audigy2 w/ remote
    512MB Samsung memory
    I bought a brand new power supply thinking that would solve my problem. But to no avail that didn't work. So, I disconnected the power and reset cables from the motherboard and jumped the board and it still does the same thing.   And it's driving me nutts.   I checked the processor and its cool. Could it be a memory problem? I remember getting memory errors like for a week before. Sorry for the long post for a newbie to the forum.
