MSI-7312 motherboard will not do post check

I have an MSI-7312 motherboard ( K9MM-V). It is about 6 weeks old. I am running an AMD 5000 processor and 2 gig of memory. Today my son shut the computer down and shortly afterwords (about 10 min) I hit the power switch and I heard the power supply fan start and the CPU fan start along with the HD LED coming on and staying on steady. Nothing else happened, no video,no bios post check I can not get the optical drive bay to open. None of the peripherals are working and it is not doing a post check. From this point I have not been able to turn the computer off with the power switch I have to unplug it to get it to shut off. When I plug it in the same thing happens. I have removed everything from the computer one device at a time and no change! I have cleared the CMOS, no change. Can someone give me any Idears

MSI 970A-G45 will not complete POST

Every so often, out of the blue, the system won't boot up.
Hitting reset doesn't help, disconnecting the power and letting it sit doesn't help.
The system powers on, begins it's POST, but after initializing the drives (HDD light flashes, CD ROM light comes on, goes off) it cycles again (right about the time it should initialize the video, it seems to loop back to the beginning of the POST - so I don't get any POST codes on the screen when this happens). It cycles through, initializes the drives again, and then starts over. IF however I pull either stick of RAM, it then will get past this, and continue on with the post. I can shut the system off as soon as I see the keyboard lights flash, re-insert the RAM, power up, and it's all back to normal. Resetting the CMOS does the same thing, but if I pull a RAM stick, then I don't have to set up the CMOS again. I have tried other RAM, but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Again, if it was the PSU, the board wouldn't "lock" in the looped state, and disconnecting all the drives would release it from any power induced failure if that was the issue, and as I posted before, disconnecting all the drives will not release the board from it's locked state. In my previous posts, I also stated that this failure happened before the system had all these drives in it. Another point, people have been underestimating power supplies for years - which is good for the manufacturers of high end power supplies, but bad news for our wallets. My power supply can support this system, plus about another 10 or more hard drives before things would get dodgy. This is something I have tested quite extensively since the late 80's when IBM PCs were still using 63W supplies, but everyone wanted a 150W in their "clones".
It should also be noted that the 5V and 12V rails are isolated from the voltages used by the processor and RAM. They aren't even connected to the same electrolytic capacitors.
in short, "If your car still rattles when the engine is off, the problem isn't the gas you are using!"
PS - thanks for the advice so far, but since it's happened with 2 different supplies and under much less load, we need to stop focusing on the power supply. For the record, I ran the numbers again, and under 60% load (which is triple the average load on this thing when not editing video) I could add 10 more high rpm SATA hard disks and still be drawing under 600W. Yes, hard disks draw a lot of short term power at spin up, but power supplies can supply well beyond their maximum rating for short periods of time, so it balances out!
While I am at it, I thought I'd let you all "meet the beast".

MSI 970A-G45 will not complete POST - re-post

Well, we may never figure out why my board goes into it's POST looping every now and again so I am asking a different question this time.
I was asked to modify my signature to include my system profile, and I did so, and then it just seemed to be ignored, or maybe nobody had an answer, I am unsure, so I am just re-posting this so that maybe it'll catch someone's attention.
The bios is V1.4
Every once in a while (might happen twice in a day, might run fine for 3-4 weeks) the board won't complete the POST
Once the board is in this state, it will start to POST, but about the time it should initialize the keyboard or video, it restarts the POST process, checking the drives and such.
The only way currently to get the board to continue on and boot up is to either clear the CMOS (pain in the butt, because then I have to set everything up again, and the jumper is buried behind hard disks) or to pull one of the sticks of RAM so that the system recognizes a System Configuration Change. Removal of any and/or all other components makes absolutely no difference, nor does removing power.
If I do either RAM removal or CMOS clearing and power up, as soon as I see the keyboard initialize, if I pulled a stick of RAM I can shut it off, re-insert the ram, and power it back up, and all is back to normal. IE: whatever bit got flipped in the CMOS gets reset in this process. If I clear the CMOS to get it to boot, of course then I have to go into the setup and configure the RAID and other settings and then let it boot up normally.
SO: The question NOW is, is there a key I can press/hold that will reset the CMOS at power on, or is there some key I can press while it's posting, or some combination of keys during power up etc. so that I don't have to open up the case to get it to boot once it's locked in this looped mode?
I have thought of putting a SPDT momentary on/on front mounted switch wired to the CMOS Clear/run jumper for performing this, but I don't like the idea of what might happen if the system was accidentally powered up and the switch got flipped.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Component level electronic modifications to the board are not outside my scope of abilities as I do component level repairs on laptop motherboards.

If I was to take a guess to help, I'll start with your description of how you remove and reinstall your memory stick... Try running your sticks at base 1333 and see if the problem continues. You have listed a HUGE memory OC at 1800+. Your sticks are listed as 2000.. yea, with the correct tweaks you can get setting that work... but it's way off stock. Numbers for memory are not like other things in life, as in higher numbers equal faster. Do some teasting.. I have and found for example, that the difference between 1333/1600 is little gain..if any at all.
Also check your boards (on board) battery. A weak battery can also create problems. Possibly the battery is close to full voltage, but not.
I would not recommend the mod you refer to for not having to open, and open your case. Find and fix the problem instead.

Please list the hardware in your PC and create a signature with that information so we don't have to keep asking what you have or hunt down info from another thread. See my signature below for example of information to provide.

MSI 770-G45 will not boot/POST

I just built a new computer yesterday (specs in signature) and have been trying to get it to work all day.
It powers on, all fans start up for all components (CPU heatsink fan, GPU heatsink fan, etc) but there's no POST beep and no signal for the graphics card.
CPU is seated correctly, LEDs are active to phase 4. All cables/components are secure, nothing is loose.
I've tested each DIMM slot individually, tried booting with only 1 stick of RAM with no luck. I've tried RAM from another computer that I know works with the same results. Tried a different video card, tried with no video card to see if I could get it to POST at all.
Tried three different hard drives, but I don't even think the computer is getting to BIOS.
Reset CMOS to no effect.
The only time I've ever gotten any sound from the motherboard speaker is when I took all the RAM out and powered it on, and it gave a RAM error, so at least it's getting that far in POST?
I'm guessing it's a RAM compatibility problem, or a defective motherboard, but I could be missing something obvious.

I doubt you can RMA a CPU because of bent pins as that's something you done.
Yes you know he did it right? It could never happen any other way. My crystal ball must be foggy cause I can not in any way know if they bent the pins themself or not.
It's a new CPU under warranty, I would just call up say it was shipped that way and see where I get to. I would go to the retail first then if no help try manufacturer. Best bet would be retail and if it was shipped by UPS or something you can posibally claim damage in shipping.
Their is always something to try Bas, don't be so negative.

Ultra 24 that will not perform POST

I have an Ultra 24 that will not perform POST. I think the BIOS is corrupted or the motherboard went bad. All I get is the white Sun logo splash screen at poweron. The fan is running full speed too.
Any ideas?

So I took the iMac to the Apple store for service. They confirmed my greatest fear... Bad logic board. The cost to replace this component was in the ball park of $700. The techs at the Apple store provided daily communication as to the progress of their diagnosis. In the end, I asked them to not do the repair and just button up the machine. To my amazement, when I went to pick up the iMac they did not charge me a dime. I then went and ordered a new 27" iMac online.

Bridge CC on opening gives "Adobe Bridge CC has stopped working" Uninstalled, re-installed same error, will not run. "check online for a solution" does nothing.

New motherboard will not work

I had a MSI 6507 motherboard go bad..
I purchased a new msi p4mam motherboard, installed it and the computer will not post.
Is there something maybe we forgot to do???
Follow all the instructions
Any help would be appreciated. This is the kids computer and they are really wanting to get back to their games .

The 4-pin is connected
I have reseated the processor
I have tried one stick of , even tried new ram
cleared Cmos
Even tried a differnet procesor that we knew worked out of a different machine.
I had Windows XP
When I start the computer the green light on the box comes on, the fans spin teh light for the CD flashes but nothing els. NO beep, no display.. could I have connected something wrong? I am at a loss.....

MSI 945GT Speedster will not boot with Authentec Biometric/Fingerprint Reader

Has anybody else seen POST problems with USB devices attached? My 945GT Speedster-A4R systems will not POST when Authentec AES2501A Fingerprint readers are attached. I unplug the devices and the systems work fine. If I plug the devices in while the system is on, they work fine too and the drivers load.
For these sensors to be used properly, as user login devices, they really need to be present during startup. Plugging them in after startup is not really an option. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
James

First off, I appreciate the responses. I have some updates, but I still have the problem too...
MSI Tech Support gave me a beta BIOS to try, and it did not fix the problem (v1.2b5).
I have not completely pinned out the USB connectors, but I am only using the USB adapter that came with the motherboard. I am not using any "front panel" USB ports on the chassis. This motherboard ships with a 4 port USB adapter that takes up a PCI slot in the chassis. This adapter cables back to the two yellow USB headers on the motherboard. I would sincerely hope that MSI correctly matched the pinouts of the USB ports to the pinouts on the motherboard - the connectors are keyed and only go on one way.
I disabled "Boot to Other Devices." No help.
I also found another USB device that causes the same hang. I gave my kids Sandisk Sansa c250 MP3 players for Christmas. When these devices are plugged in hot, they work fine. If they are plugged in, and we boot or reboot the system, the machines lock up during POST, just like when the Biometric readers are attached. It is beggining to look like there is some serious USB compatibility issue with this motherboard. It is also not just one bad board - I have two systems that behave the same way right now.
Thanks,
James

MSI P43 Neo3 will not boot

CPU: Intel C2Q 9300 @ 2.5Ghz
GPU: eVGA 8800GT KO SLI 650/950/1620
Mobo: MSI P43 Neo3
Ram: OCZ Platinum 4GB (2 x 2GB)
Sound: SB X-Fi Gamer
PSU: Antec TruePower Quattro TPQ-1000 1000W
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit
I put this all together, and it simply will not boot. Hard drives fire up, all my fans spin, optical drives try to read but I get no post to the screen whatsoever.
Also, I would like to add that I had two GeForce 8800gt's since I was the proud (sarcasm) owner of an eVGA 750 Sli FTW. I also own an MSI Radeon 1550 graphics card. All three were tried, system would post with none of them.
Any help you guys might be able to give would be extremely helpful, thanks in advance.

Hello,
please do this:
1) Take the board out of the case and test it on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration.
2) Barebone configuration means:
- CPU (reseat CPU & heatsink, check socket for bent or broken pins)
- video card
- one stick of RAM (test both modules seperately in all memory slots)
- Keyboard
- power connections (Board: 4-Pin +12V CPU and 24-Pin ATX, Video Card: 6/8 Pin +12V PCIe)
[Remove all hard drives, optical drives, add-on Cards (X-FI), case wiring, additional USB Devices, Card Readers etc. from board and/or PSU]
3) After Hardware changes clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU.
Did all of that, even checked with my with coolermaster 600w PSU with 2 12 volt rails. No difference.

My iMac will not initiate hardware check

I had a problem a few weeks ago, in the end a new video card was installed under the replacement programme for 2011 IMacs. During the checks I was unable to initiate the hardware scan. One week after repair and the same problem occurred, prior to the video card change, and the hardware test will not initiate again? Any thoughts?

I don't know which model you have - check it at this site. I chose this model, it is a 2011 (but yours may be different). Towards the bottom, it shows which OS it came with and this model came with 10.6.x.
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-i7-3.4-27-inch-alumin um-mid-2011-thunderbolt-specs.html
According to the Apple article I linked to in my previous post, if yours came with Snow Leopard, you do need the install disk # 2. And yes, it needs to be inserted in order to work as the test is contained on the CD.

Motherboard will not boot up@133

I have recently built a system with an MSI KT4V-L motherboard, 512 PC2700 Ram, Athlon 2GH Chip, the system works fine with the FSB set at 100MHz, as soon as the system is set to 133MHz then the system will not boot to either windows or a boot disk, is this a problem with the motherboard or a conflict with the ram modules

Hi,
Has this board got a jumper to toggle 100/133 - if it has you need to set it to 133 and also - set the clock frequency in the BIOS to 133.
Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious - but you never know.
Axel :D

I have Mac itunes and a touch 2G. My wife has Win7 and touch 4G (both iOS 4.2.1). She got a new iphone, I now have her touch 4G, and am trying to sync it to my Mac itunes. The music and videos sync to the 4G, but apps & podcast will not. All are checked to sync. During sync, it gets to "determining apps to sync" then immediately goes to "finished syncing". No apps or podcasts from my Mac itunes are on the touch 4G.

You can only sync to one iTunes library but you can manage music and videos among different computer/libraries.
It appears that you are trying to sync with a different library.
- If you want to make the Mac you syncing computer:
--- Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by:
iOS: How to back up
--- Restore the iPod from that backup. Note that synced media like apps and music are not in included in the backup.
