K8T Neo-FSR will not boot Windows XP

Hello,
I just finished swapping out my old Asus P4B266 motherboard for an MSI
K8T Neo-FSR. I plugged all my old components into the motherboard and
started it up. I can get into the BIOS and everything seems to be ok
as it detects all my drives (Seagate 120 GB IDE, Zip-100, Floppy 1.44,
Creative Labs DVD and Plextor DVD burner). However, after exiting the
BIOS, I get the screen that tells me to select how Windows XP should
start (safe mode, safe mode with command prompt, safe mode with
networking, or start normally). This is where my problem is. I
cannot get Windows XP to boot regardless of which option I choose. I
really do not want to have to reformat my drive. If anyone has a
solution or suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in
advance.
Current hardware:
K8T Neo-FSR
Athlon 64 2800+
512 MB Crucial PC3200 RAM (non-ECC, unbuffered) CAS=3
120 GB Seagate IDE Hard Drive
(trying to load) Windows XP with SP1

Hi
Not a lot without BIG risk of losing some data. If you have mega important files, you will of course have several backups, and backups of back ups.
So you could slip another HDD in a bay and plug the cable from your Sys HDD into it. Then install OS to it, and use it to check and repair your IMPORTANT HDD, after, of course, you have done ANOTHER BACKUP. you may be able to use disk management or device manager to fix MBR and boot files. As your offending HDD and the old C: partition, will will have a new Partition letter now, you can use XP CD repair facility of repair your previous installation. You will of course lose IE and OE info and settings, but not a lot else. But there again havng back up to Express Assist all your emails,OE settings and accounts along with all yout IE settings and data, will be restored at the touch of a couple of keys.

K8T Neo FSR Won't Boot!

Hello!
My system doesn't boot . It power all of the fans and disk. The Power and Hard Disk leds stay lit (no blinking) the D-Bracket shows 3 red leds and one green led (green is on the lower left). I try without any disk units, no cards (just my graphic card which I test on my P4 machine and is OK) and just 1 stick of ram. The sytem was working "normally" except for some sporadics blue screens and reboots and the no NVRAM thing and that my RAM gets automatically reset to 200 (that's why I try the 1.92B BIOS ver) Last thing I remember was flashing the 1.92B Bios using the windows utility and after that kaput! What can I do? are there any procedures to fix this or did I kill my mobo?
Any tips suggestions will be really apreciated, many thanks in advance.

Hi
The lower left led is inialising the Keyboard controller. ODD if nothing has been changed.
you can reset the comp by clearing the jbat1 jumper. Switch power off first, page 2-25 of manual. If that does not work make a rescue disk. place file AMIBOOT.ROM on floppy put floppy in drive, reboot and press ctrl + home.
But check the keyboard first.

Hard drive detected but will not boot Windows Vista or recovery disk

Hi,
I have a very similar issue with a HP Pavillion a6355.uk, the hard drive kept crshing windows and then it finally just kept getting pass the HP boot menu options, and then all I get is the DOS "@press ctrl+alt+del to restart".
The hard drive is detected and passes all the tests, after pressing F9, going into the F10 options. F11 does not do anything, so cannot recover windows/the system.
I have tried changing the SATA connections on the motherboard, no difference. I tried the recovery boot disk I created when it was working and it will not boot with the old or new hard drive I bought to replace it (same size and compatable).
I cannot find where to partition the new hard drive or format the c: on the old one (it had D: for the recovery, but as it won't boot, cannot access this).
I have also tried the HP website to dowload the drivers for the new one, but the page does not load up to show any drivers or Windows to download.
http://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/HP-Pavilion-a6300-Desktop-PC-series/3644673/model/3671505/driver...
The next page just keeps looping or not proceeding when I put in details.
I can’t find anywhere to get hold of my copy of windows vista for this PC or get a disk to re-install on a new drive or fix the old detected drive, can someone please help!!

Just what size HD and is the drive Sata II or Sata III?

Macbook Pro Will Not Boot Windows Disk

I have a late 08 (or early 09) Unibody Macbook Pro 2.53Ghz. I start the Bootcamp Assistant and successfully create my Windows partition. When I restart with the Windows 7 disk, I get a blinking cursor for 1 second then it goes to a black screen and never leaves. I have tried several different Windows 7 disks with the same result. I have even tried booting from a Windows Vista, Windows XP and even a Ubuntu disk all with the same result, stuck at a black screen.
I took the hard drive out of this mac and put it into my wife's older Macbook pro, and it booted off the Windows 7 disk and completed the install to the drive with no issues. I then put the hard drive back into my Macbook Pro and get the same black screen when trying to start the Windows partition, and still have the same problem that it will not boot from any other OS disk be it Windows or Ubuntu. It boots from OS X DVDs without a problem.
Also several months ago I had a Windows XP installation on this computer with no issues. I wiped it just before going to Snow Leopard.
Any clue as to what is going on here?

What is really odd is if I take my hard drive out of my Unibody Macbook Pro and put it into my wife's non-unibody Macbook Pro, it boots the Windows partition with no problem (Remembering I previously swapped these hard drives to complete the Windows installation to my hard drive). Seeing as the disk boots on her machine fine and not in mine, and my Windows cds (DVDs) boot fine on hers and not on mine, it seems to me it's something specific about my machine, but I can't imagine what it is.

K8t-neo-fsr no initial boot

Just picked up all the parts today..msi k8t neo-fsr, amd64 3200cpu 450w power supply. 120gig sata drive, dvd burner.. turned it on and nothing. d-bracket shows up as 4 red led's. and the front power led just flashes..
please help.. I need to get this working this weekend...
Thanks,
Mike

well hang on there, 4 lights is proccessor error.
now carefully look at mobo 1st is heat sink doen all the way, you did take plastic off of heatsink, when you put the processor on the board you ligned up the triangles lifted release bar and processor slid right in all nice and easy...then locked bar down, and carfully placed heatsink on and locked it.
now the bad news if you have to take off the heat sink do it slowly,as usually it will rip the processor out ,sometimes damaging pins, and you will have to use artic silver or a new heat sink with a pad, you canot use old pads or goo..it has to be cleaned off. ther is a good article on that one.
@psu
i would say psu is limited on upgrades..at 18a but if you want to return your new one just say you got it for an hp, act kind of sumb ,and say that it takes a whole different plug and everything, that usually works...
btw what kind of memory do you have ..non ecc i hope.

In BIOS maybe make only HDD with actual OS on it to be #1, and make other options to be N/A or Disabled.

MSI NEO-FISR Will not Boot

Specs
NEO-FISR Bios 3.60
Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz
1 gig (2 X 512) Kingston Valueram
Radeon 9600
Soundblaster Live! Value
CNET Nic (For reasons explained below).
I HAVE:
Unplugged everything except for boot HDD, Video, Sound, NIC, Mouse, Keyboard.
Reset CMOS Jumper
Held Ctrl Home
About a week ago, the NIC on the board went bad. I didn't want to RMA it since a PCI NIC is only 5 -10 bucks, and shipping is at least as much with no mobo for a month. So, I installed a PCI NIC.
No problems, been running fine until today. I was fiddling with my power strip, unplugging something and accidentily unplugged the PC, but I don't think this has anything to do with it because it booted once before then. When I plugged it in, it booted to Windows login and froze. Now it won't start at all. Not a power problem, because everything starts and spins up. Just no picture, nothing. The lights on the box thingy (forget what it's called, but you know what i mean, the thing with the USBS and the 4 lights), anyway, it'll light up the top Left one in green, then every once and a while, it'll light up all four in a flash, then go back to just top left. Keeps running, just no picture.
It's probaly not the graphics card, because the lights don't light up as they should.
It's not the monitor, I tried my secondary one.
It's not the CMOS, I used the jumper and reset it.
It's not the bios, because I havn't updated it recently (because MSI hasn't released one in ages).
Another odd quirk, the pc will usually turn off immediatly when the power is hit if it's still booting, but it does as if it's in windows. I have to hold it down for it to power off.
If It's broke i'm not really sure I want to RMA or just buy a new mobo/processor. It's a little out of date, plus I assume RMAing takes quite some time and I can't live without my fast machine for too long.

It worked! Wow that's wierd. I've never had something as minor as a NIC cause a complete blackout before.
Chalk that one down as the wierdest computer problem i've ever had.
Guess I shouldn't of used that old thing that was lying in my parts box! rofl, guess I'd better cough up 5 bucks for a new one!
Edit:
Holy crap now the onboard NIC works. Lol, thats quirky. One problem fixed another. I suppose my clearing the CMOS repaired something. Couple days ago i'd stick the cable in and it'd be black. Now it lights up like a firecracker and connects again. Sometimes these things just wanna make me do this: .

P35 platinum combo will not boot windows after bios update via Live Update

Hi,
I had everything running on windows 7 fine until 2 days ago. I installed Live Update from MSI website. I was about to install driver updates for my motherboard, but the bios update went instead. my pc tried to restart after the bios update installed, but it failed. would not post and would only see black screen.
then i removed one of my memory sticks. it would post, but then windows would not start up. it would get stuck at windows loading screen. i tried to reformat with my windows cd. but during install it would blue screen of death me. i tried multiple times and it would always blue screen of death with different errors. the last one i remember was a message saying i should off turn shadowing and caching.
this all started happening after i attempted bios update via Live Update.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Neo-FSR-Will not accept CL2 or overclock parameters

I can get the sytem to work and work well - but I want more!
I have 2x512meg Corsair that is CL2.0 when I set the bios to CL2.0 it freezes and I need to reset the bios. The "AUTO" select reads it as CL2.5.
Also various OC settings make me reset the bios. If I use the "General" setting and if I go to "Turbo".
Like I said it works - but it doesn't work as it should!
My Bios is 1.2 and OS is XP PRO ServPak1
My sig has other system specs.
Any Ideas/suggestions on activating these features and have them work? How is MSI for Bios updates/releases?

Check the voltage of the ram, I often find that "auto" is 2.6, but I think (I'm not sure) the voltage for the 512MB Corsair's are around 2.7v. Check with their website to be sure though...

Will not boot Windows XP CD Rom (more on this later)
Locks up when loading DOS CD Rom drivers (no CTL+ALT+DEL breakout)
All parts (except MB and proc) run fine in my XP 2200 box.
Cleared BIOS, Flashed BIOS 1.1 and 1.25
upped RAM volts to 2.85
changed CAS to 2.5-3-3-10 (suggestions from OCZ)
put 1 stick of RAM in each slot
All same results. Lock up at loading CD Rom driver
Put in Kingston ValueRam (Kingston recommended for this board)
Same storyNow thinking power issues....
unplugged all but CDRW, same story
New Antec 500 W PS (borrowed) same story
Thinking problems with memory registers in processor....
AMD agreed, RMA'd proc with AMD
Got "new" processor back
Same exact thing
Borrowed K8T Neo FIS-R, plugged in above parts and it boots fine
I high level formatted one of my SATA in ~ 10 minutes. Discovered I had bad XP install disk , but rig with K8T will boot off the CD Rom with no issues.
Is this a nForce 3 issue I am seeing or a flaky board?
I have RMA with NewEgg, but any help appreciated if I can get this fixed before I box it all up......
jbe

Yes. I suspected the cables as well and put in a set of known working ones from my 2200+
I want to make it clear that when I put in the NEO FISR2 the only thing I changed was the motherboard and it booted.
I was hoping that I had overlooked a BIOS setting, but when it would not boot after clearing CMOS and flashing to 1.25 with "fail safe" defaults I gave up.
Board is on its way back to New Egg for exchange.
Thanks for the replies.....

K8T Neo-FSR problems booting

Hi
My Computer is having problems booting. Two days ago i went to boot my computer and all the fans started up and everything seemed fine, but then nothing happened at all, but my computer was still running (cpu fan is running, power suppy fan running, red light on tower has some activity at the begining but then nothing)(my monitor light is flashing like it does when the computer is off) , so I turned off the computer by the button. Then i rebooted the system and everything worked fine. Today I went to boot my computer and this happened again, but now it won't boot at all. I have had this motherboard since january and I have never had a problem before. Any ideas of what is going on? I am assuming that it is something with bios, but I have no clue what. Any help would be appreciative.

I have already unplugged any devices that are not needed during startup, I still have the same exact result, I tried to update the BIOS but it didn't read the drive because i'm assuming it doesn't know the boot order because that all comes the BIOS, so this is was leads me to think its something with the BIOS and not my hardware. My computer has a boot manager, I beleive its OSN??? This sits on my Maxtor drive with windows xp and solaris10 sits on the other Hard drive. Is there any more information you need?

2009 Mac Pro will not boot up under Windows

I have an Early 2009 Mac Pro system (Mac Pro 4,1) and I've had this system for 3 years already and have been working under OS X with this system ever since I purchased it.
However, when I tried to boot off my Windows disk, something very interesting happens. The Mac Pro WILL NOT boot up off the Windows disk or a known working Windows partition if two monitors are connected. Upon holding down the option key and selecting the Windows partition, I will get a black screen on one monitor (the one connected via Mini Displayport) and the other screen receives no signal and will enter standby and the system is halted. It does not respond to keystrokes, there is no hard drive activity, no measured power increase on the UPS, no apparent network activity, nothing. The only way to exit this scenario (from what I can tell) is to power off the machine, disconnect the display on DVI, power on the machine again, select the Windows partition wait for the system to reach the login window and reconnect the DVI monitor (at which time Windows recognizes it immediately and the system works fine again).
My question to the community is, does anybody know why this is happening and is there a known fix for this? Quite frankly, having to disconnect a monitor just to restart is very tedious and frustrating.
I have two Samsung P2350 monitors attached to an ATI Radeon HD 4870 (512MB, from Apple). One is monitor is connected via directly DVI and the other is using a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter. Both monitors work fine under OS X with no issue. At first, I thought that this may be a driver issue on the Windows side and after installing all the latest updates and drivers the issue is still apparent. From what I can tell, this doesn't seem like a software issue but rather a firmware or EFI issue as this happens before Windows even loads.
If anyone knows of a fix or what to do in this situation, or if you are also having this issue, I would love to hear your input!
Thank you!
For the record, I am running all the latest software builds on the OS X side (10.7.4, not that it would really matter at this point). I have also disconnected all unnecessary equipment in a trial and error scenario but the results are still the same.
The system passes all ASD testing.
The full specification of the computer and all connected equipment are as follows:
2009 Mac Pro (4,1) 8-Core
2x Intel Xeon Nehalem 2.66GHz Quad-Core CPUs
16GB DDR3 ECC 1066MHz RAM (Apple Branded)
Two OWC 120GB SSDs (One for OS X, the other for Windows 7 x64) - These are in place of my optical drives.
4x 2TB WD Black Hard drives for storage.
Two Samsung P2350 Monitors connected via DVI. (One using a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter).

In Windows I am using the latest (12.4) Catalyst Software Suite, 64 bit of course, downloaded directly from AMD's site after installing the drivers from Boot Camp.
As for installing Windows I used an original (not burned) installation media (Disk is in a pristine condition). And yes, Windows is fine, the problem just seems to be getting the system to boot up Windows with that second monitor. However if the "problem monitor" is disconnected the system boots fine 100% of the time and connecting it later after booting the system will still operate properly.
For the sake of arguement I swapped monitor cables and connected the "second" monitor to the mini displayport adapter to verify that it wasn't a cabling issue and I'm still yielding the same issues.
As for GPU testing, I've played games (Crysis, Grand Theft Auto IV, Battlefield 3, etc.) and I've had no issues with the card or stability.
You would think that Apple would try to find a fix for this, especially considering the caliber of this machine.

Windows 8 will not boot

Windows 8 will not boot, gives Bad_System_Config_Info error.
It will not boot from disk, let me refresh, or let me reset my windows system.
A couple of times i have gotten windows to boot from the disk and it asks if i want to instal windows 8 or there is a tab to repair my computer.
Should i just go ahead and click instal windows 8, and then backup that fresh instal with my backup drive?
Or will this complicate the problem?.........
I am running OS X 10.8.3 Macbook pro retina
Thanks
Todd

Wow, how about you guys just answer the dude's question instead of posting useless garbage. thanks for wasting everyone's time.
The only way I know of fixing this right now is unfortunately by doing a clean install. Thats not to say however that you won't run into the same problem down the road. To be honest, even tho Templeton's answer was useless, he's right. Seven is currently way more stable.

U310 Windows 7 will not boot or recover

I have a problem with my Ideapad U310 as it will not boot into Windows, nor does the recovery feature work. A number of days ago upon powering on my laptop got stuck on the Windows 7 loading screen. I tried a few more times, including the 'Startup Repair', but there was no change. I still have warranty so I contacted Lenovo support and they called me back. An extra complication is that I live in Japan and bought the laptop here, but my Japanese isn't good enough to discuss computer problems over the phone and Lenovo does not have English speaking staff in Japan. A Japanese friend took the call for me and they suggested going back to factory settings. However, I did not have a recent backup so I wanted to secure my files first. I opened the laptop and made a backup of the most important files from the HDD (voiding the warranty, which seemed quite useless anyway since they don't have a physical address for repairs and all other support is in Japanese). I was then ready to try going through OneKey Recovery. After pressing the button I get three options and I choose the bottom one for the Recovery feature. Then Windows starts loading files ... and gets stuck again on a loading screen.
I don't know how to proceed now. I don't have a recovery CD, nor a disc drive. So is there a way to get a clean install of Windows 7 by USB, given my boot-up issues? Or is there another solution?

Have you tried the one key recovery button located beside the power button (on the side of the laptop)? It is the number1 in this picture: http://goo.gl/Tzsnvx
It should take you to the recovery menu (the one from Lenovo, not Microsoft). This should work as the recovery will wipe your Windows partition and will reinstall everything as it was in the beginning.
Anyway, before opening the laptop, you should have downloaded linux (any distribution was OK) and started it from a USB drive. You could have, then, saved all the files you needed located in the Windows partition.

Windows 8.1 will not boot after setting up dual-boot with Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon

In which forum should I ask this question?
After installing Linux Mint onto a partition of my hard drive, Windows 8.1 is listed a choice to boot into after restarting my computer, but will not boot up. It suggests a boot repair and to obtain Windows 8.1 from my distributor. I have seen on other forums
that this has not worked, and I was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.
