K8N NEO4 new old power supply died new power supply installed will not boot

This is an old build. The K8N NEO4 powers up and is followed by a long beep. The lights on the back of the USB card (4 lights( indicate 3 greens and one red in the upper right corner. According to the instruction manual, this means that Initializing Floppy Drive Controller
This will initialize Floppy Drive and controller. This makes no sense.
I flashed the CMOS both using the red button and removing the motherboard battery to confirm the power supply was bad. In hindsight, I wish I had not.
I switched from a 500W power suppply that died to a 430W thermaltake power supply. I've disconnected a hard drive and a burner to see if power was an issue, it was not the cause.
I'm pulling my hair out here, please help!

"Is it possible the power supply took the CPU with it when it died?"
 Yes it's possible that it did that. It's also possible that other components were killed also, that's why changing and trying different parts are required until you find everything that may have been damaged. We can only suggest what might be bad and you or someone else will need to do the actual work, there is no getting around that. We can give the serious advice, you need to do the serious labor.
"...don't want to take the Tuniq tower 120 off if another processor will not work"
 Anybody that repairs PC's would need to swap parts to be 100% sure of what's wrong.
Pin #20 is where -5V would be if newer PSU's still had -5V. The only the reason you would need the -5V is if you had an older K8N MB that had Creative sound on it instead of Realtek.

  • X61- XPSP2 - installed new BIOS 2.19 - Will not boot on Ultrabase

    I upgraded the BIOS 2.19 and now .. my Ultrabase is not recognized (which means on CD-ROM) and the laptop will not boot when docked at all.   Even docking after boot .. won't recognize the CD-ROM and external ports.

    Side problembutdefinately related ... I also have the newer external batter for the X61 that mounts on the bottom of the laptop ... THAT will not recognize either.  So it's def somethin with the bottom connector.
    I'm not sure what to do here at all.  Any ideas???!!!

    I agree w/Jerry and have had similar experience albeit with different software (I use Acronis True Image) but same concept.

  • Brand New 27" iMac i5 will not boot after installing software updates

    I just purchased my new iMac 2 nights ago. I have been getting it setup with my apps, mobile me account, etc, and luckily just setup time machine and let it do a full backup.
    I just ran Software Update for the first time, and now the machine will not boot. It hangs on the grey screen for about 1 minute before the Apple logo comes up. About 30 seconds after the Apple logo comes up, the grey spinning gear shows up, and about 1 minute after that I get the grey screen of death (You must restart your computer).
    Any suggestions? A little frustrated here....

    If you mean did I receive error messages, No, I didn't. However, the desktop reverted to the default purple night-sky looking thing, my applications and such all disappeared from the dock, and I couldn't open any files or folders (you don't have permission to ...), etc. I tried signing out and back in, rebooting, using a second admin account on the computer, creating a new admin account, etc. I ran Disk Utility, hardware checker, etc. No errors were found, and nothing changed. I could see all my files and folders, but they had a small red circle in the corner, indicating "locked" or "no permission".
    I'll find the lines from the console log if that will help. The error showed up immediately and is in the computer's attempt to access the user/library/application support/sync services and same path to user/library/logs/sync services/log. (or something reasonably close to this. If you can use the exact path, I will get it) The link between my settings and files, and a password is apparently corrupted or something, so that the computer won't even let me change the desktop or any file, so I can't save, edit or discard anything, and can't drag files to another computer on the home network.
    At least I'm still under the 90 day warranty, so I can call tomorrow. At this point, the SMART check says the drive is good, so I assume it's software. The only things new are the three auto Apple software updates I installed yesterday, so I immediately suspect them. But who knows?
    Does this help you at all?

  • While upgrading my 3,2 8 core power Mac , it will not boot. Going from 10.8.3 to 10.8.4. There is no visible video after chime.  I need to get up and running ASAP.  Could the video drivers have not loaded. Please help and thank you. Ps. Main drive ssd.

    The Mac will not boot to a cd, Mac or disk warrior.

    Update on this issue. I replaced the video card with an old one that I had and it boots fine.
    Question, if a driver were missing from the update process, would I see anything on the screen at all. I had pure black as if no signal was carried to the monitor. I'm trying to rule out hardware failure, as this card is 1.5 years old.
    thanks!!!

  • Power Mac G5 will not boot up.

    I have a 2005 Power Mac G5 Duo 2.5 Gigahertz computer which will not boot up. When I turn it on, the power light does not light up, nor does it show a flashing light signal. Soon after the fans start up they become loud. I tried reseting the smu, installed new memory, zaped the PRAM, and gave it some time. Those things helped me before, But not now. PLEASE HELP ME!

  • New ID5.5 install will not open newly created .indd files

    I have a user that just installed ID 5.5 as part of the Creative Suite Standard package.  He created a couple different files with it and after saving them they will not open.  There is no program associated with the file type, and when choosing the default and selecting ID5.5 nothing happens.  He was using ID4 stand alone but needed the other compenents for a new project that Creative Suite provided.  He is running on XP SP3 with all the current updates.

  • My power mac g4 will not boot.

    Hi. Someone recently gave me a PowerMac G4 with AGP. It will not power up. I have already tried taking the pram battery out. Can someone help?

    Hello,
    There are many variants of the G4 owerMac and some have specific hardaware procedures. Is your G4 a Mirrored Drive Door (MDD), a FireWire 800 model (FW800), or one of the older G4 minitowers? The reason I ask is that the power problems seem more prevalent in the newer models.
    Look on the back panel and see if the processor speed is shown; it can either be on a sticker with a bar code, or stamped in paint on the plastic parts. If you see a number starting with "M" followed by four numbers, please post it. These steps will help pin down your exact model.
    The MDD and FW800 models covered in this forum section look like the image under my name to the left. Note the location of the speaker grill and the vents. If your computer does not have that front panel design, it is an older G4 and is covered in a separate forum here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=113
    Many people with G4s answer questions in either forum, but you'll alway get the best "targeting" of responses if the community knows exactly which model you were given.

  • After restoring from Time Machine to new Hard drive, system will not boot

    I replaced my hard drive on my Macbook (2008 model) with a larger drive. I then put in my Snow Leopard disk, and followed the steps to restore from Time Machine backup. a few hours later it said it was restored, but when trying to boot up, I just get a blue screen with an occasional flicker to the Leopard screen. I tried an earlier back up as well but with the same results. Any suggestions??

    Same exact problem here just yesterday, folks.
    Got a bigger hard drive on my MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo) and installed it. Followed the restore procedures from Gizmodo (http://gizmodo.com/333319/the-secret-of-the-time-machine+assisted-hard-drive-swa p). Then got the blue screen immediately after the chimes.
    I only managed to transfer my old disk content by using CarbonCopyCloner.
    Having said that, your solution looks uselful, Portland Mac! :

    ... But when I decided to try and just do a fresh install and work my way back through all my software, I started by installing Snow Leopard and suddenly it boots and everything from my Time Machine backup is there...
    But I would not say the following:
    Portland Mac wrote:
    ... On a new drive apparently you have to install Snow Leopard before you do a time machine restore.
    Am I mistaken, or did you do a fresh install after restoring your TimeMachine backup?
    In any case, I found an interesting Apple article that might confirm that there is a problem: [Mac OS X v10.6: Issues after restoring a Mac from a Time Machine backup made with a different Mac ("Restore System From Backup…")|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3243]. Or is it a completely different thing?
    And another discussion that might give some good advice: [http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12578529#12578529]. Personally, I will now do as the man says: two backups, on two different external hard drives, using different apps, the other one being CarbonCopyCloner...
    For info, and I don't know whether that matters, my backup disk had been full and some past content had been erased automatically by Time Machine. But I don't think this should have mattered...

    Hello!
    Don't think you have to flash the BIOS. Nor do I think there is a problem with the mobo.
    Two main reasons for boot problems are:
    PSU with not enough grunt - please say something about it.
    Memory timings are too tight - don't have any special or ultra settings.
    The power cable has not been attached to the graphics card - don't know really if it is needed but I think so.
    Please note that a weak PSU might not reveal itself til the power cable is connected.
    About flashing BIOS, if you use the LiveUpdate program that came on the MSI install CD, it is no more trouble than upgrading any driver. But please make sure you get the right BIOS, and that it solves the issue you got.

  • New hard drive.  Will not boot from install dvd.

    Earlier this week, I dropped my computer.
    It was probably a 3 foot fall.
    Computer froze, so I restarted and got the flashing folder with question mark.
    Started in internet recovery, and disk utility confirmed that I had killed my hard drive.
    Got a new hard drive and installed. Started in internet recovery, formatted hard drive. Disk utility says it's good to go.
    Was given the option to install Mavericks, but keep getting an error message.
    Attempted to restart from install dvd that came with the MBP. Tried every startup shortcut there is.
    Optical drive recognizes the disk, but I always get stuck on the gray screen with the wheel.
    Reset PRAM. Reset SMC. Same problems. I do not have access to another mac or a PC with admin rights.
    I'd rather not brave the Apple Store this weekend in the snow in a town that never gets snow (people drive poorly on a good day!).
    Any tips?
    Got the MBP in 2010, new. Was running mountain lion when I dropped it.
    Thanks!

    Yiou can't use Internet recovery on a 2010 Mac notebook to install any version of OS X on it. That is why you are getting that error. You have to use the original System reinstall discs that came with it to install OS X on a new drive or use the OS X reinstall disk to restore from a time machine backup.
    Since your system doesn't seem to want to completely boot from that disc you should try an external DVD drive that connects by USB port as the built in superdrives are known to fail or partially fail at any time. Don't buy an Apple external Superdrive as they only work on Mac computer that did not originally come with a built in DVD drive. Any Brand external DVD drive will work on your Mac except Apples own external DVD drive.

  • 3GS died/froze mid-call and will not boot back up

    I was on the phone earlier today, and my iPhone 3GS suddenly dropped the call and died. I pushed the power button, and then got the Apple logo screen. The Apple logo screen lasted for an hour, until I tried holding both the power and home buttons several times (both in and out of silent mode), to no avail. When I got home, I plugged it in, but iTunes doesn't recognize it.
    I've also tried restore mode, but then it sits with the low low battery screen for about two minutes, and then its back to the logo screen. Help! I haven't installed any new apps in weeks, and this is the first problem I've had with it.

    First charge it for a couple of hours using the wall charger, not a computer.
    Then hold HOME and SLEEP for 12 seconds to see if it will reboot. If it doesn't restart your computer, connect the dock cable to a USB 2 port on the back of the computer (not a hub or the keyboard) but do not plug it in to the iPhone yet. Hold the HOME button (only) while plugging it in to the dock connector and keep holding. After a couple of minutes you should see an icon on the screen showing a connection to iTunes. Release the HOME button and wait. iTunes should connect and restore the phone. If it doesn't you have a hardware failure and need to get it replaced by Apple.

  • Three week old 3000 N200 notebook appears to be dead - will not boot up

    Hi,
    I bought the Lenovo 3000 N200 notebook about 3 weeks ago and have used it a few times. I was using it today on battery, when the screen went blank and it switched off (I presume the battery went flat, but I didn't see any warning). I went to plug it in, and it appeared to start up for a few seconds, I heard the fan, but then it went dead. I thought the Z symbol I could see on it meant it was sleeping, but I see now it just means power on. I cannot get the system to boot up by pressing the on/off button, function/sleep button, mouse or enter key. Nothing is responding. I have left it a few hours in case things had overheated but still nothing. Luckily, I hadn't yet thrown out my old computer so can send this message. Is there something I am not doing correctly, or is my first new computer in many years (my last couple have been second hand and have lasted for years) dead after 3 weeks?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi just found this in Access help which is on your laptop
    Problem: The battery pack cannot be fully charged by the power-off method in the standard charge time for your computer.
    Solution: The battery pack might be over-discharged. Do the following:
    Turn off the computer.
    Make sure that the over-discharged battery pack is in the computer.
    Connect the ac adapter to the computer and let it charge.
    If the battery pack cannot be fully charged in 24 hours, use a new battery pack.
    Problem: Your computer shuts down before the battery status indicator shows empty, -or- Your computer operates after the battery status indicator shows empty.
    Solution: Discharge and recharge the battery pack.
    Problem: The operating time for a fully charged battery pack is short.
    Solution: Discharge and recharge the battery pack. If your battery's operating time is still short, use a new battery pack.
    Problem: The computer does not operate with a fully charged battery pack.
    Solution: The surge protector in the battery pack might be active. Turn off the computer for one minute to reset the protector; then turn on the computer again.
    Problem: The battery pack cannot be charged.
    Solution: You cannot charge the battery when it is too hot. If the battery feels hot, remove it from the computer and allow it to cool to room temperature. After it cools, reinstall it and recharge the battery. If it still cannot be charged, have it serviced.
    Hope this helps
