KM4M-v with AMD Athlon XP 1500+ wont boot.

ok... this seems to be semi common, and yes i checked the PSU, ram, hdd, cpu seating, cooler seating.. etc etc. im stumpped.
PSU: Dynex DX-PS300W 300W
+5v - 30A
+12V - 15A

-5V - .5A
-12v - .8A

CPU:
AMD Athlon XP 1500+
New thermal coumpound, triple checks seating, and cooler seating.
tryed with one stick of ram, both sticks,
Tryed with no HDD both HDD(sepparatly and together)
Tryed with floppy Diconnected.
tryed with NO drives at all.
i have tryed everything i can think of. this machine refuses to boot. the PSU is 45 min old. this is the third PSU i have tryed. all in varying strengths. including the 450 PSU from the fisrts system in my sig. all to no avail. when i hit the power button on the front all that happens iss the CPU fan spins up and dies, the PSU fan does the same, and then the machine dies. the mouse, and KB LED's stay lit as if it was in stand-by. there ane NO PCI cards installed, no AGP. im at my wits end. HELP!!!!

Stay lit, but no way you (can) reach BIOS? Do you know how to clear CMOS? Perhaps it is looking for a PS2 mouse or keyboard, some booting device, or something completely different. Don't forget to pull power cable if you clear CMOS.
I guess you have checked for visible damage to the mobo, extra stand-offs behind it, and loose connections already.
If above doesn't work, the next step for me would be to reseat the processor. And next to dump the mobo.
Edit: Of course, the processor must also be controlled or tried in another system.
Yes no extra stand offs, and the board looks to be in perfect shape. came like it is... and the connections are firmly seated. hdd, power etc, all firmly plugged in.
happen to know if the 1500+ wprks on the k7n2 delta2 platinum?
only other AMD board in the house.
*Edit* Cpu seems to be fried, turns out my son got to more than just the old mobo. the cpu is an amd athlonXP 1700+ based on the numbers on the chip. and yes it does work with a K7N2 Delta2 Platinum. and no my CPU does not work. thanks for the time and extra eyes.

I have a PowerBook 145B but something is wrong with the systemfolder so it wont boot. I've downloaded System 7.0.1 from Apple and put it on Floppys with my Macintosh Classic. The PowerBook boots from the floppy, after a minute its just white. What to do?

I have a PowerBook 145B but something is wrong with the systemfolder so it wont boot. I've downloaded System 7.0.1 from Apple and put it on Floppys with my Macintosh Classic. The PowerBook boots from the floppy but after a minute it just comes up a window thats completely white.
I've tried a lot of things, but my Macintosh classic (with original floppys) runs 7.0.0. And the PowerBook needs atleast 7.0.1 and did run 7.1.0 as original OS.
How do I fix this?

Because your PowerBook 145B shipped with OS 7.1, it can't run an earlier version of the Mac OS, such as 7.0.1. Unfortunately, Apple never made OS 7.1 available for download. You can run OS 7.5.1, 7.5.3, and 7.5.5 on your PowerBook, but I'd recommend doing so with the maximum amount of supported memory - 8 MBs. The 19-part download of OS 7.5.3 is segmented, so that each one will fit on a 1.44 MB floppy disk. The problem is that the 19-diskette set isn't an installer set as such, having no bootable disk. It's solely intended to be used to transfer the individual segments to the resident hard drive in the computer. Once that's done, double-clicking the first .smi segment creates the OS 7.5.3 installer disk image on the desktop, which you drag onto the hard drive icon. This produces a folder with the OS 7.5.3 installer in it. I've done this before with an old Mac LC and it works. You can also download the 3-diskette OS 7.5.5 Update and run that. These downloads can be found on the same page where you found the OS 7.0.1 download: Older Software Downloads.

Hi,
I´ve just monted an MSI A75MA-P35 (MS 7697) with a AMD ATHLON II QUADCORE (2.6), and at this time i´ve several beep codes (1 long + 2 shorts).
I´m using AMD Memory (1 slot, 4 Gb, pc3 - 12800 1600mhz, CL9 - 1.5V), that´s all i´ve connected/mounted.
ps - i´m using an Advance Power Supply with 480W.
Any ideas about this?

what's the exact CPU model?
PSU details?
VGA used?
memory details? brand, vendor, ECC?
And...? Does the system boots and works fine?
CPU - AMD ATHLON II X4 631 AD631XWNGXBOX
PSU - ADVANCE 5100S - 480W
VGA - ONBOARD

K9N4 SLI with AMD Athlon 6400+ X2 - Damage to CPU???

Hello everybody...I have a very quick question. I purchase an AMD Ahtlon 6400+ X2 processor and the MSI K9N4 SLI motherboard not knowing that they are incompatible. I didn't find this out until I had installed the CPU, RAM and PCI-E video card, powered up and didn't get a boot or POST. It's alittle frustrating and I've made arrangements to swap the motherboard for one that is compatible. However my concern here is any damage that may have occurred to the processor in doing this. Does anyone know whether this would have caused any permanent damage to the CPU or any other component? Any response would be very much appreciated. Thank you very much.

Just to let you know, i too made the same mistake back in February 2008. i got the same board and the same processor and it also would not boot. However, luckily I did have my old processor to got back to and i installed it and then I flashed the BIOS to 1.4 and then reinstalled the 6400 CPU. I have been running my PC for nearly a year now and have had no problems. So I doubt it caused any damage.

Acquiring an Acer - Laptop with AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core Processor - Blue

Hey guys, I live down in Rowlett, Texas (near Dallas), and am trying to find one of these laptops. Unfortunately, none of the nearby stores have available units. I heard that I could request one to be sent to a store, but I wanted to see if anyone here had anything to say about trying to get one of these.
Thanks,
theDGs

Its usually the nearby stores that make the exception, if its a whole other county that can be tricky.

Just built a K8N Diamond system with Silverstone Zeus 650w PSU - wont boot

Hi
I just built a system with a K8N Diamond and a Silverstone 650w PSU. When I turn on the PSU i get a "thumping" sound from it for a short while and a green light on the back panel of the pc case. No fans or anything else starts to run. I have connected both cables to the mainboard from the PSU, and everything else, gfx, harddrive and so on. Any suggestions?
Correction: I have not connected any of the cables with power swith, leds and so on..

1 x MSI K8N Diamond
2 x Gainward 6800 Ultras in SLI mode
1 x WDD Raptor S-ATA
1 x keyboard
2x256mb Corsair dual channel ram in the green slots
I have connected both cables to the mainboard to power it up, and the cpu fan and a case fan. I have not connected the series of cables with hdd led, power switch and so on..
When i turn on the psu i get a "thumping" sound.. a strange sound i havent heard from any psus before. and the only activity i get from the mainboard is the green light for a short while when i turned on the psu. *frustrated*

Msi KT4AV with AMD ath. 2500 (333mhz)???

hey hello there
Here is my question I m planning to buy msi 6712 KT4AV with amd athlon 2500 (333mhz 512 kb)
Is mainboard a good choose??? Can I overclock it and run like 2400-2500 mhz...
please help me because 1 m Planning to buy it today..

Hi........
Hope its not to later..........
The KTV4A is the newer version of the KTV4 with the only real change being the 400A chipset on the newer board, as for overclocking this and its earlier brother were made for it with settings for the cpu range from 100-0299
If asked I would say go for the earlier version as this board does not have the issues that the newer board appears to be suffering (KT7A anyone?).
Hope it helps

A78M-E45 blank screen, wont boot, no post boot.

Hi there,
I always had ASUS boards with Intel processors. Now Im building a MSI / AMD computer.
Motherboard: A78M-E45
Memory: Kingston blu 16gb 1600mhz KHX1600C10D3B1K2/16G (two sticks of 8gb)
Processor: AMD Athlon II X4 760K
Power: Corsair CX430 V2
Graphics: Club3D Radeon R9 270 14 series
SSD: Crucial M500 240gb sata3
Case: CoolerMaster N300
With this configuration the system wont boot. Just a blank screen.
I did a few tricks like changing the Power to a better one. Unplugged the SSD and DVD drive. Cleared the cmos.
No luck.
The processor is compatible but the memory is not on the list. The board should handle speeds up to 2133mhz so that sould be no problem.
What am I missing here?
Thanks,
Sebastiaan.

I have a few questions for you:
what other power supply did you try? (it may be a power problem as a AMD system with that config may need upto a 500-550W PSU with the CPU and Graphics combo you have)
have you tried each stick of RAM individually on the board? (Some kits are defective and you need to test each)
can you try the board outside the case on a non conductive surface (cardboard or untreated wood) to make sure its not a short under the board?

24" iMac - Wont boot from HD or disc... Help!

Hi guys,
Just been working on iMac, forget the exact spec but it's a 24" Intel 2.something Core 2 Duo or whatever it is, 4gb DDR2 RAM, gotta be about 2 years old to the day and after my last 2 Macs have lasted forever, never developing a fault, I didn't take out Applecare... Perhaps I had a bit too much faith...
As I say, just working away and all of a sudden, upon putting a video in Quicktime to full screen, the whole image has kinda of condensed itself into the top 20% of the screen and started slightly flickering the image. I've tried quitting some of the programmes, but neither the mouse nor leyboard have been responding so I've just had to turn the computer off.
I've gone to turn it back on, and after about 30 seconds, it's got as far as the grey screen but then the little spinning progress indicator pauses and it does nothing else.
I've reset the PRAM and that made it take longer before it froze but ultimately did nothing.
I've now tried getting it to boot from the Snow Leopard disc but this does the something, until after about 3 - 5 minutes, the screen goes all pshychedlic, like looking at an old school TV really close...
So looking for any suggestions on other things to try before I have to take to my local store... Any hazard a guess at what may be up with it?
I've got a back up the whole computer but I don't think this is a software problem, I'm assuming it's going to be a hardware one?
Any help at all would be much appreciated!

Ok, tried Safe Mode and that wont boot either. Saw a little progress bar on the grey screen though which made a change, but ultimately, it crashed once that had disappeared.
I've just noticed that at the point when the progress wheel stops spinning, a pattern of dead pixels appears across the screen that aren't there when the progress wheel is spinning.
The more I talk to people about this, the more graphics card seems to come back as the likely culprit, based on the fact that:
- it started by me putting a video to full screen
- the fact the display went weird when it first happened and also it plays up after it crashes with the psychedelic colours
- it wont boot from HD, disc or now in safe mode either, however it does run AHT fine.
- I've hoovered out the vents on the iMac and somehow it seems slower than it was before (bit odd)
- the dead pixel thing mentioned above
So now thinking it may be time to get a new graphics card?
Reckon this is likely, even though the AHT hasn't picked up any problems? As mentioned earlier, I'm not too concerned about it would seem it doesn't particularly test the graphics card too much, so all just seems to point towards it.
Anything else that I could do to single this out as the likely culprit?
Guess this is a chance to upgrade!

Intel mac mini wont boot after system restore

Hi,
I ran the system restore on my intel mac mini using the genuine leopard cd that came with it.
Now it wont boot. When you press power the light comes on but it does not chime and there is not video output to any monitor.
Anyone know what could be wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You picked 10.4.1 in your profile.
Intel Mac Minis at minimum came with 10.4.4.
If it came with a 10.5 genuine DVD, it most certainly was not running 10.4.1 or 10.4.4. Perhaps you mistook one Mac Mini install DVD for another? Does your Mac Mini have 4 USB ports on back? What does the 10.5 installer disc you used look like?
