Msi-6309 version 1 board - BLACK screen but cd and hd spin

Hi ya'all
Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on this problem.
I was happily using windows 95 and my MS-6309 board with 733mhz cpu and 128mb ram.
my Power supply stopped working.  I then replaced it with a better one.  I thought i might upgrade my OS as well.
I then wiped the hard drive and installed windows 98.
Install went well, but on restart got some message about missing .vxd files.
Used another computer to grab the missing vxd files. cool should be able to replace the missing files.
But when trying to boot up the other pc, no go.
The screen stays black, the CD-Rom spins up, the hdd spins as it sounds like it is trying to boot - but then the red led stays red and goes no further.  The LED BRACKET inside the case is Lit RED-GREEN-RED-RED (i have leds in a row rather that a d-bracket)
Can anyone shed some light on this problem.
thanks in advance.

Hi
Check inside the computer to be certain that everything is plugged in correctly.  You can even reseat the memory and video cards to be safe.  Also check to see if any of the capacitors have bulged ends or dark stains around their base.  Especially the ones close to the cpu socket.
Clear the cmos by removing the AC cord and pressing the power button a few times to drain any electricity from the motherboard.  Move the jumper to the clear position for about a minute before moving it back to the hold position.  Plug the AC cord back in and try to reboot.

    I'm betting that it was originally Partitioned with Snow Leopard.
    As a test I just added a second Partition with Mountain Lion to a FireWire HD and it would not let me Install Snow Leopard from my System or Retail Disc into the Partition.

  • Ipod touch wont turn on i tried restoring it but every time i do it just says its waiting for the ipod to respond. meanwhile my ipod is no longer a black screen but the apple logo with a loading bar underneath that after leaving for 8 hours hasnt moved.

    my ipod touch wont turn on ive tried restoring it but every time i do it just says its waiting for the ipod to respond. meanwhile my ipod is no longer a black screen but the apple logo with a loading bar underneath that after leaving for 8 hours hasnt moved.

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - Another USB port
    - Reboot the computer
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
    Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

    Sending videos from iphone 4s to pc.  Why do I get black screen but have sound?

    Ok I checked and unchecked the playback via camera yesterday and I got black screen both times.
    I could delete the imovie prefs when I go over there today.
    I'll try another FW cable but it worked perfectly for importing but what the heck I've got one I'll try it.
    Yes camera was set to play and not record.
    Plenty of free space -- 131 GB.
    I'm pretty sure it's in NTSC DV format, but it's someone else's computer so it could have been changed by someone screwin' around not knowing what they're doing making changes.

  • IPhone 6 black screen but works

    After getting to work, I come to find out that my iPhone 6 has a black screen. Before that time, it worked just fine until I took it out of my pocket later this morning. The phone shows a black screen, but the buttons still work (the mute switch works; every time I mute it the phone vibrates). I tried connecting it to iTunes and it shows the phone. I assume that the screen has been bricked. I previously had a time where my phone was covered in rain water. That also explain why I have been experiencing crashes on my phone which led me to doing a hard restart. I have the choice of taking it back to my carrier as I'm still under warranty or I can try find out and fix this bug myself.
    Any Suggestions?
    Many thanks
    iPhone 6 running the latest iOS

    IIf you did a reset and screen remained black then it's a hardware issue, not a bug. You should return it under warranty if you still can. Any other attemp to fix on your own is probably going to void your warranty.

  • MSI Z87 GD65 - Hangs on black screen with 9C at bottom right

    Pretty much what the title says, 'MSI Z87 GD65 - Hangs on black screen with 9C at bottom right'. Does anyone have any idea why it does this? It hangs for a while before eventually continuing with the start-up, this is most frustrating when I have an SSD and want a quick start-up. I have already looked it up in the manual to no luck. Help?

    9C last for me like 1 to 3s, depending on the amount of USB devices attached.   If I have only USB printer, keyboard, and mouse attached, it shows for roughly less than 1.5s.

  • TS1363 I recently updated my iphone overnight and today I can't get it to come on, I've tried the restore and nothing works.  I've tried syncing with 3 different computers and nothing works. I'm getting the black screen, white apple and a line under that

    I updated my phone overnight and now I can't get it to come on.  I've tried everything, I have a black screen, white apple and a mine below that looks like it's trying to load but it has stopped.  HELP!

    You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
    When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
    So far I have tried the following to no avail:
    Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
    Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
    Reinstalled the latest itunes.
    Reset the ipod.
    Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
    Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
    Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
    At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

  • Black screen after login and slow NAL

    Hi,
    We have a problem which we think is ZFD related. Immediately after the
    login there is a black screen presented and the pc appears to be doing
    nothing. After 30 seconds or up to 3 minutes the desktop appears. At
    that moment the NAL starts and again we have to wait for 1 to 5 minutes
    for the NAL to appear.
    Here are some figures:
    3300 users
    700 applications
    7 cluster servers
    NetWare 6.5 sp5 + nw65sp5upd1 + iscsi65sp5a
    GroupWise 7.0 sp1
    ZenWorks for Desktops 7.0 sp1
    (and iPrint, BorderManager 3.8, NetMail 3.5.2, Identity Manager 3.01)
    Windows XP sp2 fully patched
    Office 2003
    Novell Client 4.91 sp2 + pkc
    We are using DLU. The difference in the delay times is because of
    hardware. On older hardware you'll have to wait longer. That makes sense
    but keep in mind the oldest hardware is still a P4 1,6 with 256Mb RAM.
    But 1 and a half minute extra startup time for a brand new pc is still
    quite a lot.
    We have had an expert at our site. The obvious like SLP, DNS was not our
    problem. He took some traces and again no problems found. There are some
    posts with ZFD 6.5 which mentions this black screen but no solution is
    provided.
    Most of our applications are associated with the users' container.
    Anyone please?

    Hi Craig,
    We'll follow up your advice and let you know. Currently I'm at home with
    the flew so you have to wait for it.
    Thanks,

    You are in Recovery Mode. Follow the instructions below to recover your iPad.
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
    5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.
