KT6V Weird boot problems

Hi..
I'm having this weird boot problem (and no it doesn't seem to be the standard one)
OK..
I have the following :
AMD Athlon 2000+
KT6V LSR mainboard
2x 256 Crucial PC2700 memory
IDE Hard Disk (120gb segate)
Creative 5700ultra Graphics card (AGP)
Cd Rom
Chieftec 400w PSU
WinXP Pro
If I set my CPU FSB to 100mhz (everything else on auto).. win Xp pro boots fine and all is pretty good except that my chip is now seen as a lowly 1.25ghz..
If I then set my CPU FSB to 133 or 166 then the machine boots (ie it beeps etc..).. starts to load windows xp (I get the logo and that's when the problem happens) and either black screens (ie.. nothing and the monitor turns off) or blue screens with the windows message saying that windows has detected a hardware fault and has halted the system..
I know my memory, chip, heatsink etc all work because just over an hour ago they all worked fine in my KT3 ultra.
What is going on as I've tried almost everything to try and solve this, with the only option to set the FSb to 100mhz which is incorrect for my CPU.
How do I fix this.
I've looked through the forum but this is not the same problem as simple reboots.. this is weird.
If I can't fix this then I guess it'll be send it back.. which is a shame because I like MSi motherboards.
Thanks

Hi..
I've checked the CPU heatsink.. and nothings wrong !
(Can't check the voltage but I know the PSU is Ok as I did run it in a custom case with 4 Cd writters, 4 HDs, loads of lights etc.. before I moved to this new plain case tonight)
What's weird is that set at 100FSb it's fine but at 133 or 166 it just crashes after the loading XP logo is displayed. Up until that point it's all fine.
But why does it run Ok at 100mhz and not 133mhz ?
Please help.. before I end up fixing this with a hammer !
Thanks

Macbook Pro weird boot problems

Hello!
I have a macbook Pro (late 2012) with OS X Yosemite (latest update) and I have some weird stuff going on in it...
2 days ago, I was using normally it, as I use it for work, when it suddenly freezes (never happened before). when i turn it on again, a empty symbol shows instead of the grey apple until i turn it off.
then, when i opened the recovery mode to see if my HD was damaged or something, it just do not shows my HDD at all to verify for integrity. I trun it off and let it be.
After several hours later, i decided to try to boot it again, and, for my surprise, it boots normally and all my files are normal. But after 10-15 minutes backing up all my important files to cloud services, it begins to be really slow. The spinning disk is shown even when i tried to close a finder window, move simple pages files or even to open the top menu to shut it down. The weird part is going even crazier: when i put a freezing gel (a gel packet that freezes and thaw without water is involved) under the macbook, the slowness is off and it works almost at normal speed. when the freezing effect is off, the slowleness is back
All this parts repeats very often.. sometimes the empty symbol appears when booting, sometimes it boots normally and after several minutes it becomes really slow. I tried to diagnose if a hardware problem was involved (pressing "D" after pushing the power button), but no problems were found at all.
what is going on? do you guys even had this? I hope it´s not the logic board!
(Sorry for my bad english)

The startup drive is failing, or there is some other internal hardware fault.
Back up all data on the drive immediately if you don't already have a current backup. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

Apple also recommends that you deauthorize a device in the iTunes Store before having it serviced.

KT6v-LSR Boot Problems

I'm only giving the specs for certain items because I'm only trying to boot it with these installed.
KT6v-Lsr
AMD XP 2400+ T-bred
Thermaltake Volcano 6 cu+
Antec 430 Watt PSU (+5v=36a, +12v=20a, +3.3v=28a, -5v=.5a, -12v=1.0a,+5vsb=2a)
I've been having this problem since I bought this board and put it together earlier this week. I first tried to power the system with my old Antec 300 Watt psu. When I read the other posts on this board I went out and bought a 400 watt psu, same problem. I finally went out and bought a better Antec 430 watt psu, still same problem. Please help. This is what happens when I try to boot up (same problem, all psu's) the D-Bracket leds show Sys Power ON, then Early Chipset Initialization, then Memory Detection Test... and then the system powers down. I would think that with 20a on the 12v I would be set, so I'm starting to think the mobo is just bad, and might just return it. Would appreciate any help though.

In fact, feel grateful that the newer boards have the ability to detect the CPU temp rising too fast, and shut the system down to save that costly CPU's life
Without that little feature, you could fry a CPU in just a couple minutes

Spin the wheel of weird boot problems!

Hey! First time Mac owner here.
So, I bought this poor little 13" white Macbook off a guy who had clearly abused it and I'm trying to nurse it back to health. I'm trying to fix it, and then wipe the hard drive and install a fresh copy of the best OS I can get for it. It's gradually getting better, but I'm still having some problems, so I figured I'd ask you guys for help.
_Here's what I'm working with:_
- 13" white macbook
- OSX 10.4.11
- 60GB HD
- 2GB RAM
_Here's what I've done so far:_
- FIRST I took the giant "Valvoline" sticker off the back.
- Then I replaced the broken left display hinge.
- Now I'm trying to get it to WORK properly.
_Here's what it WAS doing / not doing:_
- Not booting or, booting without the screen turning on.
OR
- Not booting and just repeatedly checking disk drive.
I reset the SMC and got the screen back (sometimes). Then after multiple attempts, I got the thing to boot and I tried to update the SMC firmware (which it told me was already updated), then I uninstalled all the crap-tacular software the guy had put on it. Then I downloaded a program called "MainMenu", and ran all the Mac maintenance processes it had.
_Here's what it's doing / not doing now:_
- Sometimes it boots without the screen coming on. (At least that's what I assume it's doing.)
- Sometimes it boots ok, and I can use it as normal, but only for UP TO 30 minutes or so before the screen goes black and it checks the disk drive and then does nothing.
- Sometimes it doesn't wait for the OS loading status bar to finish before displaying the desktop and letting me use the computer, but sometimes it does. Is that normal?
Next I'm going to do some research and make sure I've got the right RAM in there and make sure it's properly installed and seated. Maybe it's a bad logic board, maybe its just a bad SMC chip, maybe it's a problem with the magnetic switch, maybe I just have it sitting to close to my Dell laptop and it's angry. I'm not sure. Any advice you guys have for me would be great.
Also, can anybody tell me what is the recommended best OS for this model?
Thanks!
~Dave

Actually, I think this MIGHT just be a problem with the magnetic switch that puts it to sleep when the thing closes. The "crashing" that I'm experiencing is actually just the screen going black and not coming back on, and I've actually got it to come back on today by closing the lid and opening it back up. Hmmmm...

[SOLVED] Weird Boot Problem

I carried out an -Syu on my eeepc a couple of weeks ago. Unusually, this resulted in all kinds of error messages at boot time. most of which I've hunted down and squashed. The machine has functioned correctly throughout.
However, there is one message which I cannot find. When the system boots, the on-screen command line output displayed before the desktop is loaded (lxde) shows a "Login:" prompt, which is followed immediately by the display of an error message
FATAL: Module and not found
I can't find this in any of the logs, so I don't know where to begin. Module "and"??!!
Any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance

I have just discovered that this message is being generated by UFW.
I have it in my Daemons array.
A manual start (or restart) also fails with the same message.
Strangely, when accessing UFW through GUFW, all seems to be normal.
"ufw status" reports "active". Curious!
**EDIT**
I finally solved the problem by completely removing ufw and gufw (including ALL configuration files), then re-installing. I never did find out what had been corrupted, or how, but - hey - life's too short!!
Many thanks to everyone for their help and support

KT6V-LSR boot problem

I encounter a strange problem(which I think is because of main board):
- Sometimes when I press the power on button(to power on the system),then the system don't really starts, only the HardDisk(red) LED is ON, the PowerOn(green) LED is OFF. The monitor remains black, with a LED blinking.
- While the system is in state described before, if i press the Reset Button, then: the PowerOn(green) LED turns ON too,the monitor receives signal(it's LED stops blinking, by remanining ON), and the system starts OK(everything is ok).
What can be the problem?
the system configuration is:

Hello,
Did you build this PC or did someone else build it?
Open the PC, remove the case side panel and check the JP1/case connectors.
Check if the power switch, reset switch, hdd LED are Power LED are plugged in the right place.
The best way to do this is to remove all the case connectors and start again, plug 1 at a time and see if it works better.
Start with the front case power switch first, plug it in and see if the PC starts when you press it.
Make sure the PC is off when you do this, (turn on when you are ready to test).

Weird booting problems since 10.7.4 update

I have a 2006 MBP 2,2 which is now taking over 10 minutes to boot since updating to 10.7.4.
When it boots the Apple logo does come up almost straight away, it then stays for 5-6 minutes, before disappearing to the 'linen' for another 5 minutes, then the login screen comes up. From there it enters the desktop normally and afterwards the computer is as responsive as it ever was under Lion (ie not very!).
I have repaired permissions and I have verified the disk (which reports no errors).
I cannot reboot from DVD as the superdrive is toast. However, I cannot reboot in Target Disk mode either. Holding down T when the computer boots up leads to nothing happening, no Apple Logo, just a grey screen. Going into Startup Disk and telling it to reboot in target disk mode caused me no end of stress! When it rebooted nothing happened again. Eventually, after hard restarting it several times, I left it. No less than 25 minutes later, 25 minutes!, the Apple logo appeared and it booted normally (ie its 10+ minute boot into the OS).
Holding down shift, C, D, Command-V, Command-S leads to nothing happening at restart (or maybe it is just that I get bored of holding them down after about 5 minutes), however resetting the PRAM/NVRAM with Command-Option-P-R worked in a few seconds as I would expect.
Any ideas ?? (At nearly 6 years old it will not be going to be repaired by Apple.)
Cheers.

KT6V-FISR Boot Problem

I have just bought a new processor, and motherboard.
when I set the cpu fsb to 200 mhz bios displays Atlon 3000 but the machine hangs with a blank screen after post.
If I set the 166 mhz the cpu is picked up as being a Atlon 2400 and the machine will boot into windows.
I have tried different memory, but is still the same.
Do you think that I got a flaky processor?
Thanks

K8MM3 (MS-7181) weird boot issue

Hello,
I have bought a K8MM3 (not V) MB and I have a weird boot problem.
I am using a 40 gig NON SATA drive, I installed XP, all went fine, on the final reboot once all is done I get a message saying "non system disk...".
I went to the BIOS, deactivated the SATA section since I'm not using it and the problem remains.
The ONLY way to make my computer boot is as follows :
BIOS boot order is set as HDD, nothing else and "try other boot devices" is enabled.
If I have a bootable CD in the drive (XP or anything else) after the POST I get the update escd AND DMI messages, then nothing for 10-15 seconds, then a message "BOOT FROM CD :" then the CD spins and I get the boot message "press any key to boot from CD" and if I let this message go away the computer boots normally on the standard NON SATA drive....
SO it seems the BIOS is all screwed up and wants to boot on SATA drive no matter waht and tests normal IDE drives only if everyhting else fails.
The BIOS I have on this board is 1.5 but I didn't see anything newer on the sites, how can i solve this ANNOYING problem ?
Thanks

What brand drive is this?
As it looks a jumper problem to me.
If it's a WD drive, then the jumpers are different then other brands:
Standalone: Jumperless
Master with slave: Jumpered master
Slave with master: Jumpered slave

K8N Neo2 Windows XP Boot problems

I've recently built a new machine based on the K8N Neo 2 & Athlon 64 3500 and am having intermittant problems during boot into Windows XP.
Basically the machine seems to hang just as it gets to the 'Windows XP' logo. The screen looks blank, but if you look very carefully the logo is displayed very faintly. I have tried connecting the startup disk to both SATA1 and SATA3 with the same results as at first I thought it may be some kind of driver problem. I didn't have to install any SATA drivers during the XP install which surprised me.
I have also run Memtest86 on the two sticks of 512Mb PC3200 Geil Ram which seemed to test OK.
Once running the machine is stable, its just annoying that it may take 2 or 3 tries to get it up and running.
Any help or suggestions would be very much appreciated.
The full spec of the machine is as follows:
K8N Neo 2
Athlon 64 3500
Geil Value PC3200 512Mb x2
Maxtor Diamond Max 9 80Gb (Boot Disk)
Maxtor Diamond Max 10 200Gb
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9600XT

I will not install the nForce IDE drivers on the (I guess soon) reinstall. I've read that the PS/2 keyboard also could be the badguy in this weird boot problem but I cant understand why and how the keyboard could add time to the bootup sequence only sometimes, I guess that it has something to do with the XP keyboard driver ??..
Anyone with any other tips is welcome. Other than this weird problem my system runs perfect. MSI Core Center now tells me that my CPU temp is 45% (CPU speed 1004) (Downloading stuff but not doing anything else), CPU speed is according to XP 1.79Ghz and I use the Cool 'n' Quiet function, On what temp should I start to become alarmed and is there some way to setup something in the bios to shut down or warn me when and if the CPU gets to hot ?..
Thanks for helping a new MSI user out

Weird booting issue.

Hello,
I built my first computer in December, and the PSU fan was making some noise so I RMA'd it. When I put in the new PSU, the fan noise disappeared but now something weird is happening.
My scenario is the following. When I'm in Windows and choose to shut down my PC, and then I push the power button on my case (say within a second after the computer powers off), my PC does not turn on again right away. Instead, I have to wait several seconds (maybe 5-7 seconds or so) and then the PC turns itself on (without me pushing the power button again). If I RESTART the PC from within Windows, everything is fine (it shuts down and turns itself on right away no problem). One more clarification: if I shut down my computer and let a safe amount of time pass after everything powers down (say 10 seconds), pushing the power button on the case turns the computer on right away.
Any idea what this could be? Is this normal behavior? It didn't used to happen with my old PSU, but I tried putting the old PSU back in and the same problem is happening (it still makes the old fan noise and it has the same weird booting problem now that I took it out and put it back in).
Specs:
Core i5 3570K
Hyper 212+
GTX 660 FTW Signature 2
Corsair TX650m PSU
G.Skill 8 GB Ripjaws
Intel 330 180 GB SSD
WD 1 TB Black hard drive
MSI z77a-G45 motherboard

Not if that is the only issue. However there have been allot of improvements in the latest bios's so the choice is yours. I have posted the latest official bios here:>>Beta BIOSes<< If you wish to flash, use that archive and forum flash tool.
It could be that the prior psu was broken (as it was)
When you hit the power button, a signal is sent to the psu then the psu sends a "ready" signal back. Then the board proceeds though post. Same thing happens in reverse when you shut down. As I said before I have tested this when a prior user asked this question and all of my computers have a similar delay.

MSI K8t NEO + Audigy Boot Problem only when power is unplugged on the PSU

I ran into a really weird problem today.
I switched the ps off by reaching back and pressing the button. I repress the button to power on the ps, then I click on the button in the fron of the case to power up the machine. System keeps rebooting itself every 1 sec. Bracket shows 4 red lights. In the manual, it says it means bad cpu. I remove the audigy and it boots fine. I install the audigy, 4 red lights.
So, This time instead of turning the puter off by using the button on ps. I used the button on the case by holding it down for 5 seconds. I reboot and puter boots normally.
So the problem is, if i turn the puter off by using the button on the PS and with audigy in the syste. Nothing on screen, and puter keeps rebooting itself every one second. Solution is to turn the puter off by using the button on the case.
Has anyone ran into this problem? I have never had this kind of problem. It is really weird. Any feedback is apreciated.
Oh and it is only with audigy. I tested this with original live, and also other PCI cards like nic, and another cheap sound card. Non of these cards showed this problem.

Cavemankr!
I never knew you could shut down the computer by holding down the start button for 5 seconds.... well I've never really had the need to...until I got this K8T Neo job. I wondered why it wouldn't turn off when I just pushed it. I've been using the PSU switch with these problems.
Yep! She booted right up. Audigy back in action. I also realized I had my PC hooked straight in the wall (while checking to see if my surge protector was working this weekend), so turning off the surge protector wasn't cutting power to the cheapo PSU.
So put me in your camp!
I'll just plug the PC straight into the UPS and keep power fed to the Enermax. I hope that was the cause of my keyboard/mouse cold boot problem also.
I'll assume the cheapo PSU will behave similarly. I don't really want to go through the swap again.
I wonder why that happens!

K7N2 Delta-L: Strange cold boot problem & solution

My K7N2 Delta-L has a problem cold booting when the vcore is set in the bios at 1.65v of higher. After a cold boot, you get a blank black screen. I noticed that even if you run at default speeds but set the vcore to 1.65v of higher the problem still occurs. There is no problem rebooting however.
I found the following solutions:
1. After you power up and get a blank, hit the reset button.
2. Don't unplug your PC. My PC is connected to a AVR and after I power down the PC I usually turn the AVR off. If i do this, than the computer will have a booting problem if I try to boot it up 30 minutes later or so. Now if I don't unplug it/power off the AVR than everything is fine.
I don't understand why it acts the way it does though.
Does anyone know of any other solutions?

Have you cleared the cmos. If you do be sure you have the power turned off don't move the cmos jumper with the power on.
I found that turning off power at power supply and unpluging, than turning on the computer the fans will spin just a little this drains all the power. Clear cmos 2-3 than return to
1-2 position.
Than plug the power back in and turn it back on, than try the computer again.

Mid 2006 iMac Boot Problem (Since latest firmware update)

I have a Mid 2006 17" iMac. Ever since the latest firmware update in early December, about every other startup I've been having boot problems. After the white screen with the Apple Logo and the spinning wheel it goes to a blue screen like normal, but instead of the 'Loading Mac OS X' white window popping up it stays blue and the spinning loading wheel starts. I've left it loading for quite a while before and nothing changes. I have to do a force shut off by holding the power button. and then I start it up and it will boot normally.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Actually, I think it'san early 2006.

Weird internet problem / ssl connection error, site loads in safari not in firefox or other way around

I really can't figure out this problem. Search the internet tried all kinds of things, nothing help so far.
I have a Macbook Pro (Lion originally installed) running on Mavericks (all latest updates). SSD installed and the DVD tray is replaced by the original HDD.
The laptop wasn't running very smooth anymore so decided to give it a fresh Mavericks install (even though I know it's not really necessary for mac, it helped, everything is much faster except a weird internet problem came up).
After freshly installing Mavericks I couldn't get into my google account anymore, just wouldn't load. Tried Safari (use this normally) and Firefox and Chrome, this last was gave a SSL connection error, both Safari and FF said the website couldn't be loaded because the server didn't respond. For Gmail I use Mailplane which is just stuck on a white page. I tried repairing the keychain, repaired disk and disk permissions, cleaned browsers, turned off firewall and antivirus (Shopos) started in safe mode, checked time settings which were all good. Nothing of this helped. I even ended up creating a usb bootdisk for Mavericks, formatted the disk and reinstalled from the start just Mavericks and nothing else, started Safari, still the same problem. As even this didn't help I figured it's not worth reinstalling all software so put back my backup.
Now I ended up somehow only being able to use Gmail normally in Firefox, Chrome still gives SSL error and Safari can load the inbox, but I can't open any messages. I get the error there is a problem with the connection. If I try in Basic HTML mode it surprisingly does work.
You would say, just use Firefox, finished...but the thing is that sometimes random websites won't load in Firefox, when I load the same site in Safari it works perfectly.
O yes, I also tried the connect to my iPhone and use the Cellular data network, then it's no problem using Gmail in Safari normally. You would say it's a router problem, but I have another Macbook Pro (just one model later running Mountain Lion) this one works perfectly with every browser. Also my iPhone does everyting logged into the WiFi network.
You can understand I really have no clue what's going on here, I don't see any logic. I can only think of a hardware problem in my Macbook, but don't see how that could cause these problems.
I hope someone is ably to help me ?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
