Ms 6534 motherboard won't post

I recently got a MS 6534 motherboard from a Ebay seller that sells lots of computer components. It was listed as new or refurbished from MSI. The board actually looks great and was packaged professionally, but I can not get it to POST. Once I press the power button, the CPU fan spins for a couple seconds, the keyboard lights for a moment, but I get no video, or beeps, and that is it.
The following items make up my system:
Pentium 4  1.5 Ghz processor (used, purchased from reputable dealer, supposed to be tested)
Vantec CPU fan (new)
2 sticks Infineon 128MB PC133 Ram (tested in another machine)
unknown case with 400 watt supply (used)
Western Digital 120GB ATA100 hard drive (new)
BFG Geforce FX5500 oc AGP 8x/4x video card (new)
Top G  CD Rom drive (working removed from another machine)
Samsung CR RW (new)
Keyboard & Mouse (works on several other systems)
I have tried a new Ultra 500 watt power supply, just to confirm that the power supply was not the problem. I have tried using only one stick of the memory, and both sticks work perfect in another machine. I have disconnected all devices except the power supply, video card, ram, keyboard and mouse, with only the power button connected, all other case wires disconnected, and it does exactly the same thing. I tried a MX 4000 PCI video card, just grasping at straws. I have tried clearing the CMOS, but nothing seems to work.
I am thinking that I must have a bad motherboard, but I'd sure like to hear what some of you think.

you have cpu fan connected into mother board properly. that one thing that caused me caos on my motherboard to cause that . If that works for you then make sure the graphics cards in the right spot. The board i bought had a sticker over it taking a tech to pull the sticker off and that being the slot for graphics card. I hope my faults help you unfault .

  • MSI Neo-fsr motherboard won't post help!!!!!

    Okay so I got the parts yesterday and I put it together and when I turn it on it won't post. Not only that but everything seem to be powered up except for the video card the fan isn't spinning. It was a 9700 pro. Then I took my brothers Geforce MX and tried it and it still won't post. I mounted the motherboard correctly it is definitely not grounded to anything. I connected the D-bracket and all four red light show up. But my cpu is brand new out of the retail box.  I don't think its the cpu. So any body got any ideas?  
    Here are my spec:
    Athlon 64 3000+
    1 gig OCZ el memory
    MSI neo fsr
    9700 pro

    The mainboard got replaced and now it works.
    It's not certain however that it's the mainboard in your case.

  • Motherboard won't post

    One day my power button on my case was bumped and powered my computer off.
    Ever since that my 865PE Neo2-LS will not post and everything worked fine before.
    Have allready tried a different CPU/w no luck.  
    Removed all other hadware components except CPU and Memory with no luck.   Diagnostic LED's stay on 4R's pointing to CPU.
    Have allready tried reseting BIOS on motherboard.

    Any Help Would Be Great!
    Thanks Pete  

    My MSI Neo2-FISR 865 board was working fine out of the box.  Then a couple of days later I'm browsing online and my screen goes blank.  A reboot results in a loud siren/klaxon type sound where the mobo keeps beeping and beeping (never heard a beep code like it before!)
    I check all my connections, worried that the problem is my graphics card (ATI all-in-wonder 9700 pro) and still no luck.
    I find these forums and read about the d-bracket and how the four LED's will light up and help you figure out your problem.  I install it and find all four are lit RED, meaning there's a problem with my cpu.
    I test my cpu in another system and it works JUST FINE!  I test the cpu from that system on my MSI board, and it doesn't work.  I try swapping my Corsair XMS on the MSI for Geil from my other system, no help.  
    After testing my components from the MSI system on my other system, there is nothing wrong with them.  I can only conclude that since others have had the MSI board report a false problem with their CPU or whatnot, that there is something definetly wrong in the design of this board.  After only a couple of days it dies on me!  :(  
    I'm RMA'ing it back to newegg.com and getting an Intel 865PERL instead, at least Intel boards are known for their rock-solid stability.  It's too bad, I really wanted to like this board.  :(
    P4 2.4C Ghz w/800mhz FSB
    512MB of Corsair XMS 3200 (dual-channel)

    Plextor Plexwriter Premium CD-RW 52x32x52
    500W Vertiglow Powersupply (modded with red LED fans)
    Oh yeah, and I also tried clearing the CMOS, and that did not help either.

  • New motherboard won't post

    Just picked up a 865 Neo 2 today.  I got sick of my SiS 655's inability to overclock with any kind of stability.  Get home, put it all together, and the damned thing won't turn on.  I'm using a
    2.53ghz  533 FSB
    64mb radeon 8500
    corsair xms 3200
    350 watt smartblue pwr supply
    When I turn it on, the videocard fan spins, which indicates that some power is flowing through the mobo.  Nothing comes onto the monitor however, and my little 4 LED thing shows it stopping at step 2, which is chipset initialization.  I put my proc back into the 655 board and it posts fine.   I've put my finger to the processor when its in the Neo 2 and it doesn't even warm up, which is odd.   Maybe I just got a bad board?   any ideas?

    Uppon Power up Try force Posting it by Holding down the Both the Ctrl and the home Keys (at the same time). and if this allows you to get by the Initiating Stage, enter the BIOS Set your DRAM to 2.65 Volts in the BIOS. And then try Posting...If this does Not Work Clear the C-MOS with the J-BAT1 Jumper (Read Guide)..........Sean REILLY875

  • MS-6728 v2.0 865PE Motherboard won't POST or BOOT

    I was given a computer years ago by a close friend.
    msi.com/product/mb/865PE-Neo2-P-Platinum-Edition.html
    It ran fine for many years and then one day it just shut down while I was using it and no matter what I do I cant get it to boot.Ive taken the following steps to troubleshoot the problem.
    When it boots the fans, video card fans,hard drive, CD rom, and case all get power and light up.Sometimes it beeps sometimes it doesnt.
    1) rest CMOS with jumpers and CMOS battery Short
    2) taken about the case and disconnected all parts and looked for bad capacitors,burn marks, or dust
    3) disconnected the CD drive, hard drive and any other non essential parts (floppy,cd drive,hard drive,extra fans) to boot with just ram (tried different ram), Video Card (tried different video cards), and even tried a different PSU.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions?I have other computers to use during this process so taking it apart again is no problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Just list the hardware components. You don't have to change the signature.
    Those symptomes could point to poor heatsink contact with cpu. Could also be a bad cpu, corrupt bios. Difficult to pinpoint.
    Could also be motherboard shorting.
    Best to test on cardboard outside case. Minimal build.
    MOBO: MS-6728 v2.0 865PE
    Bios:    cant find out
    VGA:    AMD Radeon HD 2600 PRO 512MB AGP

    HDD:   Western Digital WD1200
    FAN:    Gigabyte G-Power Pro
    OS:      Windows 64bit Professional
    The computer ran fine for many years. The heatsink was firmly seated and plenty of thermal paste applied. I already tested a different Processor that is compatible.But Ill put them both into my working computer and double check them.
    If the bios is corrupt,how do I put a good one on the computer if it wont POST? Floppy?CDROM disk with utilities?Bootable USB with Repair Utilities?
    How do I find out if the motherboard is shorting out?I have time,tools,and a multimetter.Im ready to do this.Its been sitting in a box for years waitying for me to fix it

  • Motherboard won't post e8400?

    I've got ASUS P5BW-LA for my motherboard, I've updated it to 3.17 but can't seem to get it to recognize my new e8400 dual core processor.  I'm worried that my motherboard just isn't compatible with it :( but was hoping maybe I was missing something and that there might be a way to use this processor on this motherboard.  Thanks for your time.

  • (SOLVED) K8N SLI Platinum won't post with Saphire 5750

    Hi everyone. Hope you all had a nice Xmas. 
    This is my first post on the forums.  I’m  from Portugal ,so I might write things that won’t make much sense to you but I´ll try to keep it simple.
    I bought a Sapphire 5750 vapor-X for my kid's PC and I’m afraid I’m yet another one with the “black screen, no post” syndrome. I have tried the card on another system and it works fine.
    What I did:
    Remove old card (6800GT)
    Put new card in
    Reset  CMOS
    Switch PC on… no image on screen.
    The fan on the graphics card starts spinning, the blue lights are ON, but no dice. My HDD LED stays on, my CD+DVD drives LEDs keep flashing  but system  won’t  post, not  even show MSI logo.
    If I remove new card and get my old one back in the PC, it will post first time.
    I have spent Xmas reading forums and haven’t found anything but a lot of ppl with the same problem and no real solution for it.
    Hope you guys can help .

       Warning about the HD5770 well at least on my computer the XFX HD5770 + a PCIe 1.0 slot = doesn't work. Again this was on my computer. I have another computer that it ran on fine using a PCIe 2.0 slot (Asrock 780g board), but my MSI K9A Platinum would not power that card. So you may need to replace your motherboard if it uses a PCIe 1.0 slot.

  • MSI P67A-C43 B3 won't POST with Full RAM Installed

    Hello all,
    I recently purchased the MSI P67A-C43 B3 mainboard as a custom build
    and have been having trouble with it.  I have 16GB of ram for this board
    (4x 4GB) and when I have 8GB installed (slots 1 and 3 filled), it POSTS fine. 
    When I fill ALL the slots for 16GB total, the board won't POST and just
    power cycles ON and OFF and ON and OFF, etc...
    I have replaced the memory and the PSU and am about to replace the
    mainboard, but wanted to ask if anyone might have a suggestion for
    troubleshooting before I do that. 
    Here's what I'm running on the system:
    mainboard:  MSI P67A-C43 B3
    proc: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4Ghz Unlocked
    proc cooler: Corsair Hydro H80 CPU Liquid Cooler
    ram: Corsair High Perform Vengeance 4GB DDR3 1600Mhz2x4  (4 of these)
    HDD: OCZ TECHNOLOGY 120GB VERTEX PLUS SSD and Seagate 1TB LP Serial ATA HD 5900/32MB/SATA-3G
    CD Drive: Sony Optiarc 24X DVDRW SATA
    video: EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB 1024MB GDDR5 PCB PCIe
    PSU: Thermaltake 750W Modular Power Supply. 80+ Bronze
    case: Thermaltake Chaser MK-I Full Tower Gaming Case
    OS:  Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64Bit DVD
    Any ideas here would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

    OK, had some time to go test your suggestions here
    These are the 1.5V Vengeance RAM Modules.  Tried installing 2 of the RAM on slots 2 and 4 on their own.  System Boots Fine.
    Went into the BIOS and changed the voltage applied to the RAM modules from
    AUTO to 1.575V.   On AUTO it says is applying 1.5V to the 2x 4GB modules.
    Installed the full 4x RAM on all slots... and the system just shuts down.  Power cycling again.
    What do you think here?  Bad Motherboard?  Can't think of anything else to try...  totally stumped! 
    Thanks!

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum 2 DIMMs won't post

    I have two 512 MB Crucial DIMMs (DDR PC3200, CL=3, UNBUFFERED, NON-ECC, DDR400, 2.6V,  64Meg x 64, Part #CT6464Z40B). If I have either one installed, the system will POST. If I have both installed (I've tried them in both recommended combinations, in DIMM1 and 2 and in DIMM3 and 4), the system won't POST. The D-Bracket displays the Memory Detection Test signal. Since each stick works alone, I don't think either one is faulty. Can anyone explain why this is happening, and how to fix it?
    Specs:
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
    AMD 3500+ 939

    im having the same problem. same ram, same motherboard. except when i put the ram in slots 1 and 3 the computer will start up, but it will freeze in windows everytime. what should i do? i want to use all of my ram now only one stick!!!!!!!!!
    and i have updated bios to 1.4 and it still doesnt work

  • MSI X99 SLI Plus - Won't Post

    I've got:
    Motherboard: MSI X99 SLI Plus
    Processor: Intel Core i7-5820K
    Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR4-2400
    Power Supply: EVGA 850W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX
    It's a new build and I can't get it to post. When I try to turn it on, a red LED located next to the 24 pin ATX power connector comes on and will not go off until I cut the power at the Power Supply. I can't find anything online concerning the red LED. Is it some overvoltage protection? An issue with the memory? I'm at a loss trying to diagnose this. Please see the images below:

    Hello.
    I'm having the exact same issue.
    My computer was running with no issues for over 1 month and today when i tried to start it this exact issue happened.
    The lights on the rest of the motherboard are working (CMOS, Power, OC Genie) but it won't post.
    I have tried to reset the CMOS, re-seated and tried various configurations for the RAM, tried both BIOS and OC Genie on and off and the issue remains.
    Could this be a PSU issue? If so, would the remaining lights work?
    Anyone else had this issue and how did you fix it?
    Thank you in advance!

  • Another RS480M2-IL won't POST thread

    Someone tell me I've missed something obvious!!!
    I'm just putting together a new PC (HTPC actually), with an MSI RS480M2-IL motherboard (on board video etc), and it won't POST.
    I'm now back to the mboard sitting on a stack of paper with CPU + fan, memory, the 2 power connectors, and power switch (off and old PC).
    When the power is switched the CPU fan starts, and that's it, nothing on the monitor at all, it doesn't even power up.
    There are no LED's on the mboard, and no speaker to beep that I can see.
    I've built plenty of PC's in the past, and had lots of problems and always managed to sort it, but not this time!!!!
    Any ideas what to try next?
    Oh BTW I have tried the reset jumper for the bios as well.
    Thanks
    Mark

    There are known and repeated problems with the Venice E3 core's memory controller and yours/ours and other motherboards.  Try your DIMM in all 4 slots for post test.  Some are reporting Slots 2 or 3 work for single DIMM.  You may need to try the radical CMOS clear procedure I and others use between tests when you get the black screen and no post.  To do the radical clear, pull the power plug, pop out the CMOS battery, and placed the CMOS jumper in discharge for 20 minutes.
    E3 apparently also overheats due to not correctly dropping voltage (not what you'd want for HTPC).
    The new Venice E6 cores are reported to fix the E3 bugs.  Winchesters also work fine, as I can attest.

  • 790FX-GD70 Won't Post

    I bought the 790FX-GD70 in January and I'm just now finishing the build (don't ask).
    I waited to buy the CPU until last, so I got the X6 1090T. The current BIOS is 7577 1.0 and I have every intention of updating it to 1.C as soon as I can get to the BIOS, but no luck there. I have it bare bones right now and out of the case. Parts list:
    790FX-GD70 BIOS ver 1.0 (I know, I need to update ASAP)
    Phenom II X6 1090T
    Corsair H50 CPU Cooler
    Corsair Dominator 2GB DDR3 1033MHz (in first slot closest to CPU. The box says AMD Phenom II right on it. Grrr...)
    Corsair 850HX Power Supply
    It's right here in front of me out of the case, lying on my desk.
    The problem is, it won't post. This is what I get:
    FF,d1,d2,d3,d5,d6,08, then it resets, FF,d1,d2,d3,d5,d6,08, reset, etc. etc.
    All the CPU phase LEDs light, memory LEDs light, and the hard drive LED lights right before the board resets.
    Any help would be awesome. I'm lost. Thanks.

    what vga you have?
    have you tried to boot with barabone setup and mainboard out of the pc case?
    tried >>Clear CMOS Guide<< too?
    power cable for the cpu is connected?
    have you tried to reseat the cpu too and check for bent pins?
