MOVED: Linux won't boot on H87 MSI motherboards

After doing some research, pretty much the only problem people had with installing Linux on machines with Windows 8 or newer was when they had problems with secure boot. Secure boot is a feature that can be enabled in the technical preview as well, however, since my machine is older than Windows 8 machines, it has a traditional BIOS instead of the UEFI firmware used by those machines to operate the secureboot feature. Therefore, my computer is incapable of running secure boot. I ended up double checking anyway, just for kicks, and sure enough secure boot is not being supported on my machine. Beyond that, I don't see how deleting a partition would help me gain access to a live cd, since they don't boot from the hard drive anyway.
You do know you can disable UEFI boot to Legacy boot if you want to install O/S that isn't Windows on it but then you will not get support for it. And if you install Linux you will have to go to a Linux forum and get support and help from them there.

UEFI boot hangs with MSI GTX 960 installed

Wasn't sure whether to post this in the graphics forum or the motherboard forum, since both components are MSI.
I have a system with an MSI Z68A-GD65 (G3) motherboard with the old v23.7 BIOS, and a Core i7-2600k Sandy Bridge processor.
I just bought an MSI GTX 960 Gaming 2G. However, after installing the new card, the boot hangs every time with a flashing cursor. If I put my old card back in (GTX 460), everything is fine.
I've read that a BIOS update is recommended for the GTX 960 cards. However, the newer BIOS versions for this motherboard always say not to install them unless you have an Ivy Bridge processor, which I do not.
I see the newest version of the BIOS is v25.8. There was another time I tried upgrading the BIOS in the past (to v25.6) and I had issues with it not saving my custom overclock settings for the i7-2600k, so I reverted to v23.7. So I'm reluctant to upgrade it now for that reason.
Anyone know if the v25.8 BIOS update will fix the problem with the GTX 960? Or is there something else I can try to get it to boot with the old v23.7 BIOS?

Updating it to v25.8 BIOS did work. The GTX 960 works fine now.
But, I am now having the same issue I was having when I previously tried updating the BIOS: my overclock settings are never saved. Actually, that's not exactly true. I can set them in BIOS exactly how I want them, and they are always saved there. But once I boot Windows, the settings are reverted.
I reinstalled the Intel Management Engine drivers as well, but no luck.
However, the BIOS update did allow the GTX 960 to work properly, so I will start a different thread in the motherboard forum about this overclocking problem.

Compatibility with MSI motherboards

Hello
I want to know if any one of you have known compatible issues with the Graphics cards like XFX, eVGA, PNY, BGF, Zotac, Sparkle, Galaxy...(all non msi models).
Sometimes the cards may get heat or go crazy.
Any known incompatibility issues?
BTW I have a P35 Neo Motherboard.

On my P35 Neo I have at one time or another used: PNY 9600GT, EVGA 9600GT, MSI 1950 Pro, MSI N250GTS 2D1G and now MSI N260 2D896 OCSP, no MB compatible problem with any of them. There were some Saphire ATI cards being a problem but I believe that was a particular run of cards and not a brand specific issue.
I've become quite fond of MSI products because since I started using them I've had no problems with their hardware.

Display and Boot Problem with MSI K9NGM2

I recently purchased a system:
- AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 Core Duo
- MSI K9NGM2
- 1 GB Kingston RAM
- 320 GB Sata seagate
- Sony DVD RW
- 450 Watts Power Supply
The very first day I started having problems with my system. Sometimes it never showed a display and if it does it was not able to recognise my hard disk. I have to reboot it several times before it does. I think its the computer who decides when to boot and when not to. I got it checked and the vendor says that everything is fine , although he is also not able to respond to my problem. The Sata cabling and the Ram has also been replaced twice but still the problem persists.
Does anyone have any answer to this problem.

With the CPU Core Ratios in CPU Features back to Auto or their default, set the Adjust CPU Ratio to 43X at first just to test it for POST completion, OS loading and stability. Turbo and Enhanced Turbo could be set to disabled. Internal PLL to enabled. Try VDroop in Auto or it's other available setting. CPU PLL to 1.82v's - 1.84v's, EuP 2013, Spread Spectrum, and Overspeed Protection keep disabled. Reset the CPU Features power and duration limits back up to the previous settings as discussed.
As you said, there is a problem with the BIOS version. I tried to overclock with CPU Ratio method, unsatisfactorily. setting the CPU Ratio at 40 the system fail.
I recently tried with OC Genie Button, but the Frecuency doesn't go above 3.7Ghz, but the CPU Ratio Limit is set in 42.
you can see the picture.

K7T266 Pro2 boot hangs with MSI GeForce 4 MX 440

Just installed the mobo and VGA combo mentioned in the Title and I get very regular boot freeze - mobo beeps and hangs with 2 possible results - 1/ no video signal 2/ garbage on screen
After many many restarts the system boots OK. On next power-up the same story.
The BIOS is dated November 2002 (sorry, cannot find the version string now) , the GF4 card was tested with 2 versions of its BIOS: 4.17.00.24.36 and 4.17.00.30.00 and the result is the same.
CPU is Athlon 1200, 512 MB DDR RAM.
Any help appreciated. If it is necessary for me to provide more information, I will be happy to do so.

What OS are you using?
Did you do a clean install after installing the MB and Video Card?
Did you update your Video Drivers to the latest and greatest?
What version of Directx are you using?
Did you set your BIOS settings back to default?
What other hardware are you using that may be incompatible with the MB and/or Video card you're using?
Check to see that you didn't accidently knock one of the memory modules loose when you were installing the MB.
Also check to see if your processor fan has enuff thermal grease and is seated on your processor properly.
Hope the checklist helps...I had the same problem with mine when I got it and I flashed the BIOS then reloaded my OS when that failed to fix it. It's been great since then. Remember to backup any data that you might want to keep before you reload though...GL! 8)

Boot problems with MSI 945GT Speedster

Hi
I am experiencing start-up problems with my newly mounted HTPC (Mcubed HFX mini). After pressing the power button the keyboard lights flashes, then the hard drive starts spinning. Then nothing actually is happening. The start-up screen never appears on the monitor (black). In fact I have noticed the opposite, the monitor (using the VGA) seems to receive a signal down instead and shuts off when the power button is pressed (the same phenomenon when starting and shutting off the PC). There are no light's or alarms on this mainboard (that I know). For switching the monitor signal between VGA/DVI/TV out I have tested the keyboards commands, but as I only have the VGA connected I think this also are auto sensing.
I never get to the BIOS start-up. And no, I have not tried to flash or something. Everything is newly mounted.
More information on the same question I posted at this special mcubed forum.
But as this is problem with mainboard I think this is the better forum for this... let's see..
Regards
Mathias

good to hear that. Be happy with the board.

DOS lock up with MSI & P4 Processor

I just bought 3 new computers. All MS-6533E motherboards (Bios V5.3) with intel P4 processors, Kingston 512 meg memory & Windows 2000 SP3. All 3 lock up in DOS based programs. I reformatted & dropped one back to SP2 since I have others computers (MS-6524 Motherboard P3 processor) on 2000 SP2 which are fine in DOS. This one still locks up. Is anyone aware of a problem with MSI motherboards & a P4 processor? Help!

Thanks for your reply, however your answer did not come across complete. Are you saying it has to do with using a USB mouse & keyboard rather than the PS/2 connections?

Boot problems with Z77A-G45

Quote from: CMaster on 22-June-12, 15:31:08
Processor: Intel i5-3570K retail (new)
Mainboard: MSI Z77A-G45 (new)
Memory: 2 x Corsair 4GB XMS3 DDR3-PC1600 CMXBG3N2A1600C9 (new)
Graphics card: MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II (new, currently disconnected)
SSD: Crucial M4 512GB (new, currently disconnected)
Power supply: Antect earthwatts 500W (used, fully functional)
HDD1: WD Velociraptor 300GB (used, rather full)
HDD2: Samsung Spinpoint F3 2tb (used, currently disconnected)
Optical drive: DH-201AS DVD-+RW (used)
Once everything is all connected up, installed in the case, etc etc, upon power up, the fans all spin up, HDDs initialize etc. Then after 10 seconds or so the system powers down again, with the screen (whether on the external or internal graphics) never having been active. There are no beeps from the PC speaker whatsoever, nor do there seem to be any indicator lights as I've had on previous MSI motherboards. The manual is completely absent of any troubleshooting section. So my main question is, is there any way to tell what stage the startup is failing on? Other threads on this forum (here and here) suggest that the problem is due to lack of processor support. As the motherboard was sold as Ivy Bridge ready, I'd like soe way of confirming this as most likely cause before paying for some fix.
Hey I am actaully sharing the similar problem of yours....
I am using MSI H77MA-G43 (BIOS v1.5), and a set of DDR3-1600 4GB RAM x 2.
When i am using both 2 pcs of RAM, i am facing the same problem:
"after 10 seconds or so the system powers down again, with the screen (whether on the external or internal graphics) never having been active. There are no beeps from the PC speaker whatsoever, nor do there seem to be any indicator lights as I've had on previous MSI motherboards. "
When I use 1 pc of DDR3-1600 4GB RAM, it works again.
I just wonder if there is some RAM compatibility problem with MSI motherboard...I have tried below 2 sets of RAM:
AMD DDR3-1600 4GB x 2 (1.5V) (AE38G1609U2K-U)
Kingston HYPER-X DDR3-1600 4GB x 2 (1.65V) (KHX1600C9D3K2/8GX)
Cheers!

Please don't hijack other's topics. >>Please read and comply with the Forum Rules.<<
Your components are not the same, starting with the RAM. >>Posting Guide<<
Please supply your full system spec.
Your RAM is 1,65V overvolted DDR3-1600.
Only add one module as per the instructions. Then do a full CMOS clear with power cord removed. >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Afterwards go into the BIOS and set that memory to 1333, (ensure that XMP is disabled for now). Set the DRAM voltage to 1,5V. Retest and advise.

MB RS480M2 will not boot with MSI videocard R5450

I purchased R5450 vidocard via internet, put it on MB RS480M2 and the latter did not boot afterwards.
(Tried everything). (It worked in another computer.....)
I cannot sent it back: waited to long.
Is there something with my BIOS?
I have the latest official BIOS: V3.9
What can I do: I expected that a PCI-E card from MSI should fit on a MSI MotherBoard with a PCI-E slot.
Can anyone help me?
Kind regards: LGM

Yep, problem is the PCI Express x 16 slot which supports only PCI Express Bus specification v1.0a on RS480M2.

Problems with MSI K9N6PGM2-V2 Motherboard in a barebone package

Hi:
I bought a MSI K9N6PGM2-V2 Motherboard and AMD Athlon X2 5200+ AD5200OCK22GM Processor with a DiabloTek CPA-0280 Elite ATX Mid Tower Case from TigerDirect. This is their so-called barebone package.
Unfortunately, I did not receive the CPU cooler so I bought a FAN from a computer store. Now, I cannot seem to make the system work.
I have several questions.
First, the JPWR2 power connector on the MSI is 4-pin. However, I cannot find a 4-pin power cable from the DiabloTek case. There is one cable that has 6-pin and it can fit into the JPWR2. Unfortunately, when I turn on the power, the Motherboard does not boot.
Second, I have an elder case, which does have a 4-pin power cable and the motherboard does boot. However, I do not see the BIOS in the screen.
I guess that I must have done many wrong things there.
Could someone who is familar with this motherboard pelase give me some suggestions?
Thank you very much,
Cheers,

Fan? You need a heatsink with a fan to cool the CPU down, just a fan won't do it.
As for the case + PSU: +12V: 30A that isn't a lot, but should show a BIOS if you didn't insert some fancy videocard.
And for the 6pin, that's a PCIe powerconnector!!!
According to TigerDirect: 1x 4+4 Pin Motherboard Connector +12V so you have the proper connector.
But you may have blown something to pieces by gambling on the connections.
Else? Nothing left to say but: >>Posting Guide<<
