K9n4 sli wont boot into bios

this is a new build my specs are
motherboard k9n4 sli
cpu amd anthlon 64 x2 4600
ram ocz 6400 dual channel 2x 2gig
power supply ocz game extreme 700
video card evga 8800gts
hard drive wd 500 gig sata
heat sink ocz vendetta
so like the title says I can not get into the bios, I get a very loud single beep, now the best way I can describe the beep is as an angry beep. Sounds stupid I know. Now when I look up the beep it seems that it could be a memory or cpu, the cpu beep is described as high/low siren, I don't really get that, but it is higher pitched then a normal beep. I have tried moveing the ram around and only putting one stick in. I have tried to clear the bios. It seems that something is not working right or incompatable. my money is on the ram,cpu,or motherboard. The sad thing is I cant really switch out any of those things. I have the feeling that it might be the cpu,but would like some feedback before I rma anything.
any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

not sure by which one do you mean
amd athlon 64 x2 4600 socket am2
probably the first thing to get upgraded but should be compatable or am i missing something
There are several models "amd athlon 64 x2 4600 socket am2".

Also i've asked to double check that you have 4600+ {and not 6400+, because 6400+ is not supported}.
Have you plugged CPU FAN in CPU-FAN connector to the mainboard? {Not in SYSFAN}

New K9N2 SLI Platinum isn't booting into BIOS

So i just built a new system with an MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum, and installation went by with a breeze. However, after supplying power, and turning the system on for the first time I'm met with absolutely nothing.
I'm not the most advanced in this category, and I've certainly never experienced the likes of this ever. I've gone through the hardware configuration a thousand times, and I'd know if it were that.
I was wondering if anybody knew a few tricks to get this new board to boot. I'm suspecting it's probably something small and obvious I wouldn't ever think of.
But yeah, any help would be much appreciated.
Current System:
Mobo: MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 9850 (black edition)/stock cooler
RAM: Corsair Dominator 2x2048Mb 1066Mhz DDR2
GPU: PNY XLR8 GeForce 9800 GTX
HDD1: Western Digital VelociRaptor 300GB 10K RPM
HDD2: Seagate Barracude 1.5TB 7200RPM
No operating systems yet (which is kind of impossible since I can't even set the boot order without the BIOS loading.) But I plan to run XP Pro alongside Gentoo.

All fans are spinning fine, I'll get the PSU info later, I took it from an old system I built before my last deployment. It's an 850 watt (single 12 volt rail) system, not sure the exact specs on it anymore.
I do believe though, that I've managed to knock something loose as it keeps beeping repeatedly now when it boots. Before it was absolute silence on boot. (which is weird because i don't actually remember installing the speaker?)
Oh, the DVD drive is from another system too, and pretty old, but it opens, and functions.
I also swapped between onboard video, and the graphics card to see if it was maybe the graphics card and still nothing.
Though I have to use a DVI converter with the graphics card (which is pretty lame for a 200+ dollar graphics card to have two DVI ports and an SVID port, but no HDMI port.)
Anyway, I originally tried to boot with my 1080P television connected into the HDMI DVI* port for the mobo.
Keep good language in a forum!
Now if I can just figure out what was wrong in the first place eh?
It seems the reset button allowed it to boot into the BIOS, but a regular boot wont?
Edit: Still wont boot into BIOS or POST though, I'm met with a blinking line that's been there for over 10 minutes now.

I reinstalled osx 10.8.2 from recovery disk, now verify disk says my hard drive is there but wont boot into it regardless which partition i select to boot into , everytime it boots me into the recovery, i need help!

Mb pro running like garbage with 10.8.2 tried a reinstall of osx from recovery utility now the utility says my hard drive is ok but wont boot into it keeps booting me back into recovery tried restart option to select disk tried using the select startup disk from recovery, gives a message asking if i really want to boot to it and in that message is the only rime it shows a question mark on the drive dont know what to do cant find similar issue

Your rushing and not making much sense.
Your machine was running like garbage, so you tried to reinstall 10.8---did you do this or not?
Disk Utility says your drive is ok, that's good.
But when you boot it keeps booting Recovery HD, so perhaps the firmware has made a mistake, it can forget.
You held the option key down to boot into Startup Manager, why didn't you select OS X for the boot volume?
When you get into OS X you change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, that should take care of the Flashing Question mark issue.
attemtping to ireinstall osx from recovery partition bar is full on install screen, but im now at -6hours remaining
So now your reinstalling OS X like you set out to do before, it does take some time as it has to download from Apple's servers.
If your Internet connection is slow and/or Wifi is slow then it will take awhile.
So you should have the Flashing Question Mark and Reinstall Only OS X covered.
You should be able to boot the machine, but your performance issues may be something else and still remain.
Why is my computer slow?

Boot into BIOS or mac equivalent?

How do I, or what is the Mac equivalent of booting into BIOS?
That question is more for interest, I see there are other ways to achieve on Mac what I would normally do from BIOS on a non Mac machine. Thinking of power options and scheduled startups here.
Thanks
Neil

Hi Neil,
Intel-based Macs don't use BIOS, but its successor EFI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExtensibleFirmwareInterface
To my knowledge, there is no way for a Mac user to boot into the EFI, only certified Apple technicians do seem to have a tool which allows them.

K9N Diamond - Wont boot after BIOS update

Just attempted to update the BIOS on my PC and it now wont boot. Used LiveUpdate with the Windows flash option (don't have FD drive). The lights on the D-Bracket 2 get as far as LED 2 Green, 1,3,4 Red. I have already tried to Clear CMOS with no joy.
Any suggestions on how to proceed much appreciated - and yes, I already know, I've probably done something stupid
Thanks
Grant.

power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU, push several times power button to drain capacitors, then Clear CMOS and leave only one memory stick into DIMM slot close to CPU socket. pull back power cord and try to boot.
in a future do not update the BIOS for no reason....(only becouse its new, only becouse new BIOS maybe got a new logo and e.g...)
Looks like I'm back in business now. I found similar instructions at this location http://www.bosamar.com/K9N/trouble.html and followed the First Procedure.
Booted ok with one mem stick, in bios fail safe mode. I counted 7 short beeps while booting then one long beep. Not sure if this is ok. Read about bios beeps here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=82221.0 and the final long beep seems to indicate a pass???. Anyway, Vista appeared to come up ok and I checked everything in the hardware device manager and all looked fine.
Proceed to reboot with all mem sticks back in place, again same beeps but Vista coming up ok.
Next I switched bios to optimized defaults, but now 6 short beeps - no long beep. Windows looks ok. 6 beeps appear to indicate a keyboard problem, but kbd seems to work fine???
System looks ok now, but not sure if i should look into those beeps a bit more? BIOS now at 1.3, should I leave as is or revert to an earlier revision?
One thing I know that I am going to do is to install the FD drive from my old PC
Thanks for all the help.
BTW, the reason I did the BIOS flash was as a last resort to get my sound to work. Tried the various creative driver as suggest elsewhere on this forum but without success (as of yet there is no official vista compatible audio driver for my mb from MSI). The JAUD1 connector looks to be connected as specified in manual (but no audio from either the front nor real panel audio connectors).

Can't boot into bios due to SMART Hard Disk Error

My hard drive failed and now im getting constant pop ups to replace it
I'm thinking about transfering windows to an external drive until I can replace the internal one but I need access to the bios to set the boot priorty options anytime I use f10 to boot into the bios it's like it's skipped over and gives me the smart hard disk error screen where my only options are to boot into windows or run diagnostics.
I tried running diagnostics but each test resulted in an instant failure.

Yes take out hard drive and connect it to another PC. Get help from your service manual for procedure for taking it out:

Adapter, something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Anker®-Converter-Adapter-Cable-included/dp/B005B3VO24
For configuring boot order, try this:

Tap f9 key soon after powering on notebook, if the above don't work.

HELP, K8N won't boot into bios or anything. need to reset board to default

I got playing with the MB and tried HT 5x, it immediately shutoff and now won't let me into bios to reset it, so i'm waiting to hear from MSI. I tried clearing CMOS and everything, the damn thing boots on for 5 seconds and goes off. Screen stays black. Has to be turned on from PSU as power button at front won't do it.
CPU: AMD64 3200+ (230FSBx11 = 2.5Ghz)
MB: MSI K8N NEO
MEM: OCZ 3700 Gold Dual Channel (2x256 in slots 1 & 2)
VC: ATI 9800 Pro 450/380
PSU: ANTEC True 550w
Its not heat related as I've been able to run lots of tests and my case is open right now. It just won't boot at all, black screen and shuts itself off. All I need to do is get into bios to change HT back to 4x, but I can't. Any ideas to reset to default?

I tried having it unplugged for over 8hours while i was at work, tried taking the battery out, tried taking both memory out. It starts up (screen stays off) and then shuts itself off after 5 seconds still. I turn the power off, then back on at the PSU (the power button at the front won't turn it on or off) then it starts all over again.
My ABIT IC7 would reset to default it turned off and on 3 times in a row...why dosen't this board have something like that. arg. So anyone know how I can get this damn board to allow me into bios?

Toshiba Satellite P25-S676 wont go into bios.

I have a Toshiba Satellite P25-S676 - When turning it on, it goes through the initial memory check, and gives options for hitting f2 to go into bios, or f12 to change boot sequence. If I don't hit a key, it proceeds, but goes to a black screen and stays there. If I hit F2 it shows the message "entering setup..." then goes to a black screen. When pressing f12, I get the message "entering boot sequence.." and then black screen. It never goes into windows, or bios or boot sequence. It goes right to a black screen and stays there.
The intial text when turning on the computer is bright, and clear, so I don't think it's the backlight. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Charlie

you may also want to try a few other things while you at it.
remove battery and unplug the charger and then hold down the power button for 30 seconds. re-install battery and try booting up (with and without charger adapter plugged in).
If you have personal information on the hard drive that you want to preserve and do not have a backup, you should focus on doing that first. This may entail removal of the HD and connecting it to a working computer and then doing a backup of those files. This will aslo tell you if the HD is working or not.
Burn a xp repair disk and try booting from that (although if you can't get f12 to chnage the boot sequence this may not work).
Give more detail as to what the indicator lights do when you attempt to boot.

G550 wont boot after bios update

Hi i installed Windows 7 on the lenovo g550 and was getting the latest drivers and got the 2.53 bios. i got the message that bios flash was successful and then gave timer till reboot. The power light is on and the fan is spinning but nothing shows up on the screen. Luckily i did backup the bios onto a usb but now how do i go about flashing the old one back on.

If you have to, just hold down power button until it shuts off.
Remove battery and wait one minute.
Replace battery, and plug it in.
Enter bios on boot and "load default settings".
If you can't get into bios, post back.

K7n2-L wont boot after bios upgrade

I have been very happy with the motherboard since i bought it in april 2003, been very stable and only had minor usb problems. And i finally decided to upgrade the bios from v. 3.7 to v. 4.1.
After the upgrade the machine boots up to the first windows that shows me the memory and the hard disk i have installed. I can also go into BIOS.
But the PC stops when its about to start booting up the HD or CDrom. According to the lights on the D-Bracket its trying to initializing the floppy controller.
There has never been a floppy drive in this PC before(i booted the PC on CDROM when i upgraded the BIOS).
I have tried the following things without success;
installed a floppy drive.
Cleared the CMOS(with the jumper)
Unplugged the cdrom and the hard disk.
Tried every memory configuration.
jumped the safe mode jumper.
It seems to me that i can only fix this by changing the BIOS chip....or the mainboard.
Anyone had this problem?

Azraeliz,
Sounds to me like perhaps you've overlooked a setting in the BIOS
Did you take note of the BIOS settings prior to flashing so you could put the settings back the way they were?
nuckelavee,
I suggest you start your own thread. I have a hard time believing there is no CMOS jumper.
Tried this? ***Starting your K7N2 Delta2 at default settings***

Will MSI Z87 MPOWER Motherboard boot into Bios with Devils Canyon?

Hey guys !
I decided to take the plunge and update to a Devils Canyon i5 4690k and purchased a MSI Z87 MPOWER motherboard which was on special. I know I need to update the bios for this cpu.
I forgot to check something crucial !
Will i be able to boot into UEFI Bios and update the Bios with this CPU ???? I have only used ASUS Mobo's and they have the bios flashback feature. I'm worried i'll have this great mobo and cpu and not be able to update !!! I don't have a standard haswell cpu to use just to update the bios to support Devils Canyon.
Could someone confirm if it will boot allowing me to update via the MSI Bios flash method.
I still have time to cancel the order if need be.
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not quite automatically. It will recognise the CPU but may not properly work or boot. You can try booting into Windows/other OS, but you might need to update BIOS.
Once you have the updated BIOS prepared on the USB stick, you just boot from the USB stick and it will give you some instructions etc to follow, and that's all about updating.
As last resort if it won't let you do it, you can take motherboard to some PC repair center where they have SPI programming tool and they'll update BIOS even without the CPU inside

Stream 7 refuses to boot into BIOS

Tablet won't boot into windows or to the BIOS using the volume down and power keys.

You might try plugging the charging cable into another computer's USB port to see if you can get the pictogram to display (to rule out that the AC adapter is not bad). If you still cannot get the pictogram, the tablet has probably failed and is in need of a warranty replacement.

System wont go into bios setup

I called HP support to help me fix a display adapter problem. I had set the screen resolution to a setting higher than could be displayed by my monitor. I asked the guy how to boot the computer in Safe Mode so that I could change the resolution. This guy had no idea how to put the computer in Safe Mode. After an hour or so of him having me restart the computer, and push buttons, I finally got frustrated as this guy obviously had no clue what he was doing. I told him tha I would figure it out myself. Well, I finally got the resolution fixed, but durring all of the powering up and down the hard drive boot sector got corrupt. I ran a repair on it, and got it fixed without loosing my data or programs. All was fine until I completely shut it down. Now, it wont Boot, Post or anything. After complete power down, I removed the Cmos battery for a minute, replaced it, and tried again. A couple of times a screen came up telling me my clock was wrong, press F1. I pressed F1, but nothing happened I powered it down and followed the steps to reset the Password, and Cmos by moving the Jumpers. Both jumpers are now back on the two posts closest to the hardrive connection. Now I have a new issue. The computer spins up, all fans come on. The Blue light on the Power button is Blue, not Yellow. When it initally spins up, the Yellow light for the hardrive is amber, then goes off. In less than a minute, the computer powers down for about 10 seconds, and then starts up. Then in less than a minute it starts the cycle all over. Please help, Bill

Late 2011 Macbook Pro Wont Boot into AHT

My brand new MacBook Pro use to boot into the Apple Hardware Test.
Recently I was having software problems so I restored my mac from the lion restore partition, now I can’t boot into the Apple Hardware Test. I don’t have restore disks or software disks because my MacBook Pro did not come with them Any Ideas?
Thanks Kyler

First off, some other forum members have reported having to hold down Command-D instead of just D to get the AHT to load.
If that don't fix it, as per this article ( http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mh35727.html ) it can be loaded from a USB disk. Since your Mac came with a factory-installed Recovery partition, you can concoct a bootable USB startup disk (hopefully containing the AHT) as per these instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433
Hope this gets you the AHT back.
