K8N Neo3 Won't boot at all!!!!

HI!!!
I have K8N Neo3 AMD Sempron 2800++ 512MB UNB PC3200 CL2.5 Apacer and Asus Geforce 5200FX 128DDR.
I asemmbled this configuration a few days ago.And it worked just fine.
Whenever I turn'd on my CPU it did't recognize the Procesor and it worked on 1.61GHz.
And then sudenly CPU wouldn't start,at the top wrote that the Main processor:Procesor AMD Model Unknown, and at the bottom was message that i can press DEL or F11,but what ever I press,nothing hapens..
The CPU is completly frozen???!
I tried reseting CMOS, unpluging all hard drives,inserting a diffirent Garaphic Card, reassembling and putting back together the entire CPU,
but it's always the same thing and even when i take the battery away from the mainboard(i take the power cable out) like it never resets CMOS is it somekind of a virus .

K8N Neo3 won't boot

I have put together a barebones kit that will not boot. Everything is new and I have double checked everything to make sure it's installed correctly. When I power the machine up the fans on the motherboard, video card, and power supply all come on. The cpu fan comes on sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. It will start another time and stop after about 15 or 20 seconds. I'm at my wits end over this one. I have built several boxes before and have never run into anything like this. The PSU came with the case. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my setup:
Memory: Corsair VS1GB4003C PC3200 1024MB 128Mx64 184DIMM
MB: K8N Neo3 (MS-7135 v2.X ATX Mainboard) with nForce 4-4X chipset
CPU: AMD Athlon64 3200+
Video: nVidia GeForce 7300GS PCI Express 16x
Bios: Out of Box
HD: Maxtor 120GB
Optical: Liteon 16x Dual Layer DVD RW
Cooling: Spire Heatsink and Fan cooling kit
Power Supply Details:
450w
+3.3v 26a
+5v 35a
+12v 15a
-12v 0.8a
-5v 0.5a

tcsenter, this has been discussed very often in this forum. 15A is NOT enough, period. If you want to insist on this, well be my guest. But don't come crying if your psu burns up half your system. You have been warned about that now.
It has been "discussed", but those discussions NEVER withstand any scrutiny when I enter them - period. Everyone dives out the back door or threatens to have me banned. Why?
Because I PROVE my argument using the very same "simple math" you cite. Unless you are referring to some new fuzzy math that wasn't taught when I went to grade school? I get my numbers from the manufacturer datasheets, which are absolute worst case scenarios that can't be found outside of AMD's R&D lab, or actual load measurements using reasonably precise methods:
K8N Neo3 core logic = 0.5A
AMD Athlon64 3200+ = 9A MAX
GeForce 7300GS = 1A MAX
Maxtor 120GB = 2A (spin-up)
Liteon 16x DVD RW = 2A (spin-up)
Cooling Fans x 2 = 0.5A
Total +12V load = 15A
This assumes 100% loading, which is impossible during POST and until the operating system begins loading.

Won't boot at all... [will not POST]

Greets. My order from newegg just came in today and i'm quite happy with the "big" things i got-
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ (link)
MSI K8N Neo4-F (link)
Now, I'm not totally oblivious with the whole computer situation, after all, I was brave enough to build this, right? 8) The problem I am having lies in the fact that the computer just won't boot at all. Eventually I turned on that D-Bracket into JDB1. So far it has got Yellow and Red LEDs which stay on. The book tells me that the processor is installed incorrectly. I'm pretty sure it's lying as I have checked it many times (please don't make me take off that heatsink/fan again) and the chip is FIRMLY set in it's place. Alas, the screen stays black (running off of a sapphire card) and nothing happens. I would expect to AT LEAST get a BIOS screen to see where I messed up my SATA configuration (as I'm sure I did...)
But, if anyone has seen a problem like this or knows a solution, please give me a shout. It is very much appreciated
edit: after lurking more (link) I have decided that i'm not at fault, it is, indeed, the graphics card and/or monitor that are not working. I get:
which, according to this post, means that I should be in the clear for BIOS set up. Nothing is displayed on my screen! :( Help!
Thanks.

1) Do u have any usb cables from your case front panel or Flash card/drive or usb hubs connected to the mobo if so unplug them.
2) Switch off computer & unplug mains lead the remove a module of memory leaving the remaining 1 in slot1 (nearest CPU)
if 1 doesn't apply or doesn't give any change try 2.
1 does not apply, the only external devices i have attached are a monitor, keyboard, mouse (all os/2, not usb) and of course our friendly D-Bracket.
I have unplugged all IDE devices and SATA devices. All that's in there is the 1 GB of RAM (it's a 1gb stick, not 512mb), graphics card and processor, still no picture :(

HP laptop won't boot at all

My one and half year old Hp 2000 laptop won't boot at all. When I press the power button, it doesn't show any sign of life at all.
I have tried Hard test several times yet it didn't fix it.
Battery charges, power adapter working.
I have also tried to boot using the AC adapter alone yet my precious laptop isn't showing any sign of life.
Please how do I fix this? I need to do my assignment and prepare for my exams, and I can't afford a new laptop. Not when the current laptop is pretty new.
Please help me HP support.
Thank you in advance.

Hi @Chichiiii ,
Thank You for your inquiry.
I understand that when you power on your notebook it is unresponsive. You did state that the AC adapter is working and the battery is charging.
Here is a link to HP Notebook PCs - Computer Does Not Start (Windows 8), which has multiple links to help you determine the issue.
Good Luck!

My Probook 4310s won't boot at all

Hi there
My probook 4310s energy star suddenly stop working and won't boot at all. Prior to this, the windows freeze couple of times and I had to power off by pressing the power button for few seconds. And this happened few times in a week (not every time I used it)
Now, when I turn it on, the laptop just show the very first splash screen, the one with the logo of 'hp invent', 'intel' and 'press the ESC key for startup Menu'. But pressing any key wont do nothing.
These are what I have tried so far.
- I tried pressing ESC, F11, F12, F10 and all of the F keys but nothing happened
- I even tried to take off the Harddrive and memory card to see if the drive or memory were faulty but it stayed the same.
- with the hd and memory back in, I tried putting in the installation dvd in the hope that the laptop will boot from it, but nothing happened.
- for several times, I let it on overnight and in the morning the screen shows the recovery menu, startup repair, etc. but choosing any option do not do anything and pressing cancel would bring me back to the original faulty state.
- When it show the startup repair menu, I could go to prompt screen and browse the hd content and every files seems to be fine apart from my c drive is now recognized as d drive.
can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to fix it? thank you very much.
It's running on windows 7 home premium 64 bit.

PT880 Neo - Won't Boot at all

Help me anyone!
My computer won't boot at all. I recently put it together and the bios works all the way to the Boot-start (accordingly to D-bracket) but nothing happends after that. The bios recognices the SATA, floppy, DVD and the CDrom (all at once or one by one - standalone). I'am trying to install Windows XP Prof sp1a.
- I've tried with full system (SATA, DVD, CDrom and Floppy).
- I've tried with only the DVD (disabled SATA).
- I've tried with only the CDrom (disabled SATA).
- I've even tried with only the floppy (windows 98 start floppy).
- I've tried two different Win XP prof disc's.
- I've tried with or without PATA-IDE and SATA and all the possible
combination of them.
Since the computer won't read from the DVD, CDrom or the floppy I can't
flash the bios or install the RAID-driver from the floppy. After reading about the +12 Amp in this forum I changed PSU to Aspire but it didn't help. I really need help from you all because I'm so tired of trying now and I GOT THREE SIMILAR COMPUTERS ACTING THIS WAY ON MY KITCHENTABLE right now (for me and for two friends). I can't bellieve I was so unlucky as to receive 3 MoBo's that won't work so It has to be something else. One strange thing though - The press F11 for BOOT meny (boot order) doesn't work at all - otherwise the Bios seems to work as it should.
Best regards
Lars

I've got the same problem with a P4 3.2E. At times I get into "Windows loading" before rebooting, other times it freezes at a black screen just past POST (with a blinking cursor in upper left-hand corner). One time I actually got to desktop and just as icons were appearing, it rebooted. It really seems memory related to me. Running PC4200, I set all timings as loose as possible, make sure there was enough voltage going everywhere, but still no success. I'm going to try swapping in my 2.8C northy to flash to BIOS 1.4, and I PM'ed NovJoe for that beta...hoping he'll be kind enough to shoot it to me. This is just a backup board while I prepare my IC7 for thermo electric cooling, and while I am impressed with all the options and voltage ranges in BIOS (from an extreme OC'ing standpoint), I'm not too impressed with this supposedly "Prescott Ready" board so far. Hoping I can get this thing solved tonight, cuz I lost out on a night of gaming last night.

Bios updated and now K8N Neo won't boot? FIXED!

Successfully restored from backup (after some hassles!), but thanks to everyone who helped.
Having messed with the bios some more, I *think* I now know what the problem was. And *blush*, I think it was my fault all along *blush*.
I think I had one of the drives selected at the top in Hard Disk Boot sequence, instead of the SCSI - Raid Array.
That would mean it was only reading half the MBR at boot time which would kindof explain the problems I was having.
Still, we live and learn. Thank God for backups!
Cheers all
Chippy
I hope someone can please help me?
I just upgraded my K8N Neo2 bios from 1.4b to Easybios 1.3c (or whatever its called).
I took all the proper precautions and the bios update itself has worked just fine. My system is "working" OK.
However, I can't boot. The system POSTs fine, detects the raid0 array just fine and then falls over with an MBR 1 error and an MBR 3 error.
I booted from the XP install CD and loaded up recovery console, and I can log on to the array. The array and all data is fine.
So it looks like its just the MBR record that is screwed. Is this because of some incompatibiliy between my old and new bios?
And anyway, please does anyone know how to fix it? I suppose I can try to rebuild the MBR somehow, but I don't know how. And I really DO NOT want to risk losing all of the data on the array. Yes, I have a full back up, but I don't want to end up having to rely on it!
Has anyone seen this problem before when doing a bios update? And any ideas how to fix it?
(I guess I could flash back to 1.4b, but I really would like a later bios version to go with my new - as yet untested - Opty 146).
Thanks

Thanks for the tip, Doc. But I have entered the bios settings from scratch.
I can try it again, but why do you think that might work? There really aren't two many sata and raid settings to make - all you have to do is enable the two channels (sata3 and sata3) and then enable them also in the raid menu. That's it. And the board "sees" the raid array just fine, its just it won't boot anymore. I can read and write to the array no problem from Windows Recovery Console, so I conclude that the hardware is all working properly. I think its an MBR incompatibility issue between the two bios versions... or maybe MBR corruption.
I seem to remember some people having problems with this a year or so ago when upgrade this bios from 1.4 to 1.5. Some people were having to do complete Windows reinstalls to fix it. That was why I didn't update my bios sooner.
But I asked around this time and it seemed those problems had been resolved.
Seems I was mistaken!
Any other thoughts / suggestions?
Thanks

K8N Neo3 won't start

I've just installed a new MSI K8N Neo3 with an AMD Sempron 3100+, and at first everything seemed just fine. The assembled computer started just fine, and I started installing Windows XP. After having formatted the hard drive the installation suddenly stopped and the computer went dead. And after that it hasn't started again.
I've tried to disconnect everything except the CPU and the power switch from the motherboard, and it still won't start when I connect the power cords and press the power switch. I can see both the mother board fan and the CPU fan "jerking" for a second, but then everything is dead again.
When I disconnect the power cord that powers the CPU from JPW1 and try to power up, the fan on the motherboard starts, or at least the motherboard fan and the chassis fan start. If I power down and reattach the cord to JPW1 and the power up again, I get the same "jerking" of the fans and then nothing.
Does anybody know what can be wrong?

Report: K8N Neo3-F Cool boot problem!!!!

Hi all,
I've got Cool boot problem on my new K8N Neo3-F. The power is often turned off suddenly just after I turned on the power switch. All components are shutted down while the power led blink. It's unable to turn off completely by pushing power switch for awhile. I usualy have to disconect the power cord then clear cmos and cool boot again.
This problem seem to occur more oftenly when using SATA HDD. Should it be attituted to a bug bios?

Something along what you already have on +3.3v/+5v but 20A or more on +12v (single +12v PSU model) .
But when the time comes to replace PSU it's wise to get one that has enough power that will serve the next build or upgrade also .
Not leaving you again in the same situation you are now one more time down the line .
Note that HD's are notirious power eaters .They all may have nice numbers from the manufacturers for write/read consumption
but it's not many that specifies spinup consumption which always are altleast 2-3 times the amount of read/write power demands.
Tagan 2power/2force is nice and is applicable to both 20/24 pins systems and has the ability to run the +12v line as one combined or dual .
They also come in different sizes (max wattage) .

Help! blue screen of death and ibook won't boot at all

I ran the software update on my ibook (800 mhz, G3 running 10.4.3) today. I repaired permissions and rebooted before hand. I don't have any hacks on it. I have plently of room on the drive for the update (more than 6gigs on the 30 gig drive). I know my ibook is feeling its age, but now she won't start at all!
When I ran the update (which I already did on my imac with no problems), the ipod updater, quicktime and something else installed without problem. I came into the room to find that the Mac OS 10.4.4 updater had a red exclimation point next to it, and I had an error message that there was a problem with the update and that I needed to reboot. Restarting was my only option so I did. ibook would not start. It hung on the "starting OS X" screen forever (45 minutes). I force-restarted and booted in single-user mode. I have an app called AppleJack installed so I ran that (repairs permissions and such in single-user mode). I rebooted. Nothing. Blue screen of death.
Any ideas? Should I reinstall OS 10.4 from the CD?

How is mail different than that?
Mail keeps mailboxes in their own separate Finder files.
Home -> Library -> Mail
Home -> Library -> Mail Downloads
Notice also that Mailboxes themselves have their own folders in
Home -> Library -> Mail -> Mailboxes
Addressbook keeps addresses for Mail in its own set of Finder Files.
Home -> Library -> Application Support -> Addressbook
iCal keeps it in
Home -> Library -> Calendars
Whereas Microsoft Office is simply everything in one user belongs to:
Home -> Documents -> Microsoft User Data -> Identities -> Main Identity -> Database
So in reality you have 4 different places, and simple data corruption inside the database file itself is not going to take out all of the data when you use Mail, Addressbook, and iCal. I find it is much more robust to use Mail, Addressbook, and iCal purely for the reason that data corruption is not as prevalent a problem when your database gets large.
Single user mode is not a good idea, until the data is actually backed up in some fashion. Once you are getting input/output errors, trying to get it out of a place where there is data corruption by using a data recovery program is the first step with Prosoft Data Rescue.
You may try to rebuild the database file too, which might work, but since your machine is suffering a lot of input/output errors, I'm suspicious of the health of your hard drive, and you are booting to a blue screen, single user mode may not be enough, even Disk Warrior may not be enough. Now's the time to get all the data off the hard drive into another in a safe place. Data Rescue may be able to recover it. If not, you may have to deal with a data recovery firm.

PowerMac DP G4 Won't Boot With All RAM Sticks Installed

A few weeks ago, my 800 MHz dual-processor G4 started having frequent kernel panics. I tried all sorts of things, including changing the PRAM battery, resetting the firmware, and resetting the PMU. Then, one day, it would only power up but not boot, so I took it in for repairs.
The shop I took it to determined that the logic board was malfunctioning and replaced it. The computer no longer has any kernel panics.
The machine was designed for three 500 MB RAM sticks, which is what it had ever since I bought it over five years ago. Now, apparently, it won't boot with the last one installed, though it will with two. The shop replaced the new logic board and and even swapped RAM, but the problem still persists. Neither the power supply nor the hard drive appear to be malfunctioning.
Does anyone have any ideas what's going on? Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
G4 800 MHz Dual Processor Mac OS X (10.4.9)

squeakmaster, welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried the following with one 512MB RAM stick:
1. Palce it in the first RAM slot. Does the Mac boot?
2. If so, remove the stick & place it in the second RAM slot. Does it boot?
3. If so, remove the stick & place it in the third RAM slot. Does it boot?
The results of this test should reveal (1) if the stick boots in one or more RAM slots, the RAM is good and (2) if it fails to boot in a RAM slot, there is a problem with that slot.
Do this with each of the tree RAM sticks & post back the results.
When the logic board was replaced, was the firmware updated to be compliant with OS X. (Note - The firmware is installed on a chip on the logic board.) Check your Mac's firmware (Boot ROM version) version. Mac OS X: Available firmware updates
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117 If an update is required, the update must be installed (using OS 9) BEFORE you install OS X.
Can you boot up in OS 9.x? If so you can use DIMM First Aid - Check & recover disabled (missing) RAM from Apple's latest firmware updates http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/10415

Imac G3 had clean install OS 10.1; can't install 9.2; now won't boot at all

Hello,
I was given an older imac G3--has 176 mg ram; 6 gb hard drive. Due to its small memory and the fact my daughter just wanted it for games, I decided to only install OS 10.1, instead of OS 9.2.2 and OS 10.1.5 which I have on my G4.
Then, I found that most of my CD games (no internet access) need Classic to run. So, upon inserting my OS 9.1 disk to install that, I got the message that the firmware needed to be updated; then an error saying I needed installer 4.5.5.
Two questions:
1. How do I get around the fact that my firmware needs to be updated but when I boot from a locked disk, I get the error message that firmware updates can't take place due to locked disk.
2. Now, I can't get it to boot at all into OS X or any disk in the CD drive--I get a screen with a little script that says, "failed to boot, etc., Apple Firmware 3.0 3f built 12/__98
then (not exact text)
0 >boot MAC-PARTS: specified partition invalid, etc.
can't open ide1, etc.
I hooked it up to my other G3 imac and my G4 via ethernet cable but since there's no system accessible, I can't turn on file sharing/Apple talk, etc.
Hoping I'm not the only night owl going round and round with these kind of problems. Any help would be much appreciated.

If you don't mind wiping the hard drive, boot from the 10.1 installer disk and install the 9 drivers:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75275
Then find out what CD came with the Mac by first identifying it:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58669
And then looking at this article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
If it came with 9, get the original CD that came with it to install Mac OS 9.
If it came with Mac OS 8.6 or earlier, get a retail 9 CD which looks like
Do a clean install using
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=58176 as a guide once you have the correct 9 disk.
Then install the firmware update that corresponds to your Mac:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
And then I would not even bother with 10.1.5 anymore and get 10.2. Repairing issues with 10.1.5 is difficult. 10.2 installer disks which work on that machine once the firmware is updated look like

MacBook Won't Boot Up All The Way

Hi, I have had my macbook for quite a while, and it has had problems before like a non working battery and random brightness changes but ever since I installed the latest security update it will not boot up all the way, first it takes a long time for it to pass the white screen with the Apple logo and loading circle, after that it reaches a blue screen, with no response. Once it made it to my desktop background but none of the icons or dock showed up. Any help?

I have the same problem mentioned in the original message. I downloaded the updates and my computer will no longer boot up. I put in Disk one of the install disc, but that did nothing and now I can't get the disk to eject. I was going to try disk 2, but can't get disk 1 out.

Neo-LSR won't boot at all

Hi,
my 2.60C + Neo-LSr + 2 256MB Samsung PC3200 combo doesn't seem to like to work with each other. The fans and chipset light show work fine and the D-Bracket shows 4 green lights, but the screen remains black. It doesn't matter if I use 1 or 2 sticks of memory, it just won't boot.
Is there any general Problem with Samsung RAM and this motherboard ? Any way I can solve this problem ?
Thx in advance,
yoshi

Only way I read here so far was to look for one PC2100 stick,go into bios and set vdimm value a bit up,most PC3200 worked than.
I have Samsung Ram,working fine,but only PC2100,so no compare.
