MSI A75MA-G55 won't boot sometimes

Hello,
My system specs:
MSI A75MA-G55
AMD Llano A8-3850
Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C83
Corsair Builder CX430 V2
My system sometimes boots and sometimes not.
Memtest has run a whole night without errors.
Al settings on manual won't help.
Having only one RAM module on the board didn't help.
It looks like the mobo and the RAM aren't broken.
Is it not compatible or what?
I can't update the BIOS because it hangs on making a backup.

Problem with Bios 2.0 MSI A75MA-G55

hello, I need help ....
A few days ago I did the update the BIOS of my MSI-A75MA-G55, which is 2.0 and he has presented problems. It has a processor (AMD A-8 3870K) before trouble could overclock to 4.0GHz, but now it goes from 3.6ghz: (... By increasing to over 3.6ghz pc does not start and I have to clear the CMOS for reuse ... the second problem is with the GPU hd6550D now I can not run any game at medium quality such as "far Cry 3" or "Bioshock Infinite" and before if I could .... the previous BIOS version was the V13 or 1.3 which everything worked.
The characteristics of my pc are:
- MSI Motherboard-A75MA-G55 (MS-7696)
- 3870K Processor A-8
- 2x 4GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3-1333 (667MHz)
- Hard Drive WD 750GB 64MB Cache
- Thermaltake CLP0575 Frio OCK
Thank you in advance ...!
Sorry do not know much English ...!
Note: I did a BIOS flash, with the tool provided here, to downgrade the BIOS version and I could not because at the end and restart the PC had always the same version.

As the problem is only bios related from your report tell MSI about it so the issue can be fixed: >>How to contact MSI.<<

MSI X99S XPOWER won't boot after a Windows 8.1 Update

Hi all, two days ago I was using my PC as normally and Windows needed to restart because of an update from Windows Update. It restarted and won't be able to boot again. I get a 04 debug code (Power on South Bridge Initialization) and I've tried clearing CMOS, without SSD/HDD... and there is no way.
I'm reading something about an Intel drivers update that can modify the firmware, do you know anything about it?
Board: MSI X99S XPOWER
Bios: Version 1.4
VGA: MATRIX GTX 780Ti
PSU: Enermax Platimax 850W
Intel Core i7 5820K
MEM: G.Skill 32GB in 4 sticks (8 GB each) @2400 MHz XMP
HDD: OCZ Vertex 450 256GB
COOLER: Akasa Venom Vodoo
OC: 4 GHz 1.15v
OS: Windows 8.1 x64
Thanks

Windows is not corrupted, I've tried that SSD on another computer without problems and in my computer without HDD/SSD and won't boot anyway.
If I'm able to boot with the secondary BIOS, I'll recover the first one by the following steps:
Quote
BIOS recovery with AFUDOS command
When BIOS updating fails or causes the computer non-bootable, you can recover the
failed BIOS by the steps below.
Preparation:
1. Prepare a bootable USB flash drive.
2. Download the latest BIOS file from the MSI official website at www.msi.com, and
then decompress the file.
3. Copy the AFUDE238.exe and the BIOS file to the bootable USB flash drive
BIOS recovery steps:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the functional BIOS ROM.
3. Insert the bootable USB flash drive you have made to the USB port.
4. Boot the computer into the bootable USB flash drive.
5. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the failed BIOS ROM.
6. Execute the below command to flash the BIOS:
For example: AFUDE238 EXXXXIMS.XXX
7. Restart the computer after the BIOS flashing is complete.
Important
Do not use the Multi-BIOS switch when system is booting up.
But I have a doubt with the "Important" note because I need to change from safe BIOS to failed BIOS with the PC booted, right? So I'll use the Multi-BIOS switch with the system up...
Thanks a lot

X58 pro won't boot sometimes

I've got the X58 Pro Motherboard- the original one.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130221
Rest of the system specs are as follows:
Core I7 CPU
ATI 5770 video card
Antect 750 watt power supply
6 GB ram (I forget the brand)
2 WD hard drives
From time to time it will not boot. The On/off button on the motherboard is lit, so I know it's getting power. But there's another light on the motherboard that is off when it won't boot- an orange light- presumably the network connection? If I jiggle the power connection to the motherboard, eventually it lights up and the computer will boot. I know the issue isn't the power supply because I've used two, with the same issues.
I thought it might be a short circuit from the case. But a friend more knowledgeable than I suggested that it might be the motherboard power save feature putting it into sleep mode or something. He said a BIOS update would fix it.
I have the 7.3 BIOS version, which I understand is the latest one for this mobo. I hear that people have used the 8.0 and later for other MSI X58 boards with this board with success.
So I have two questions for the gurus here
1) What is causing the computer to not boot?
2) Will a BIOS update fix it, and if so, should I attempt it?
Any helpful advice would be...helpful. Thanks in advance.

To answer that you will need to be more specific on the CPU and memory.
Gotya.
CPU is I7 920.
Memory is Kingston 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Triple Channel

MSI P7N2 Diamond won't boot

hi,
My P7N2 Diamond won't boot. when i first tested it at my friend's house, the problem already occurred. but i was not sure if it was complete bricked because the processor we used was listed supported only under the new bios.
so i brought it home and tried it with an older processor, the E6300 . still no luck.
one thing i noticed, every time i power up the board, the hdd_led, power_led, and standy_led are turned on all together. BUT, i have no HDD attached....
what could possibly wrong with my motherboard? btw, the memory i used is a Kingston DDR3 kvr133303n9/2g
any advice/help will do. thanks

Yes it's barebone setup. just proc , mem, vid card, psu, ps2 keyboard.
out of the pc case too?

Yes it worked before but i am unsure what setup was before. a friend gave this to me. just upgraded to i5 so he gave it to me.
worked before with what parts? what is changed?

FM2-A75MA-E35 won't boot

Howdy,
well, I put my brand new system together and it won't boot. Actually, it won't even enter BIOS setup. Would anybody help me? This is the story:
When I powered it on for the first time, I saw only a little '99' number in the right bottom corner and the system halted (I read somewhere, that 99 is for POST failed with Super I/O test - is it true? What does it mean?). I restarted the system and try to enter BIOS setup. While holding the DEL key, 'Entering setup...' appeared in the left bottom corner and system halted (99 still in the right bottom corner). So I started disconnecting things from the system with the same result until I disconnected PS/2 keyboard. Without keyboard the little '99' disappeared after reboot. OK, so i tried another PS/2 keyboard (working on another system) - '99' was back after reboot. Then I removed everything, I kept only APU and power. After reboot I heard three beeps, which is correct - no memory. I inserted memory in DIMM1 and connected VGA - no beeps (so RAM is working), but screen remains blank and system is halted. Then I got the idea to clear on-board RAM with JBAT1. Voila, after restart I saw finally some information on the screen.
I connected everything back but with the same result as when i started int for the first time.
Bootable disk was inserted in the DVD drive all the time (I tried restart several times without it, nothing changed). Each manipulation was done when power was off.
I stuck here so I will appreciate any idea.

Keyboard is Genius KB-110X PS/2 and mouse is Trust Optical Mouse 16591 USB (both were second cheapest in the store). I took the board out of the case, kept there only the CPU, one memory module and VGA connected - nothing, just blank screen. I switched it off, connected keyboard and started the system - '99' in the corner and system froze. So basically the same behavior as with board in case.

MSI GTX560TI SLI won't boot into Windows.

So I got my second MSI GTX560TI Twin Frozr II today, and I was really looking forward to some SLI action, but when I set up both cards, I can't get past the first screen that tells me to press F8 to go to BIOS. I can't access Windows Security Mode or anything, only BIOS. After that it reboots and does the same for an endless loop.
I can confirm that both cards are working as I have tried them both. It's not a defect powercable either, as I have tried all of them on one GPU and they seem to work fine.
I have also tried the bottom PCIE slot, and it works as well.
Any ideas on what might be wrong?
The rest of my specs: (Copypasta from another forum)
[OS: Win7 x64 Ult] [CPU: Intel I52500k] [MOBO: Asus Maximus IV GENE-Z] [RAM: Corsair Dominator 4GB]
[GPU: MSI GTX560Ti TwinFrozr II] [SSD: Crucial C300 60GB] [CASE: Fractal Design ARC Mini]
Also, to confirm that the two GPUs are infact the same, I took these screens from nVidia control panel:
I can see that the Video BIOS is not the same. Could this cause any problems?
Also, when using ROG connect to read the post codes, the last thing it says before rebooting is something about loading VGA BIOS. What to do guys?

Quote from: Svet on 26-September-12, 08:17:59
tell S/N of both cards and save both vbioses from each one of them, upload them somewhere and give a link to it.
Where can I find the S/N on the card? One of them has a sticker on the PCB with the S/N on it, but I must have removed it from the other one. I'll save the vbios once I get home and upload them here.
Quote from: xmad on 26-September-12, 09:22:49
What psu do you have as well? Please include 12v rail ratings or a link to it.
>>Posting Guide<<
I have a Silver Power SP-SS750W. I don't really know what 12v rali ratings are, but I guess you can find it in this review:
EDIT: Since I can't post external links for some reason, just Google "Silver Power SP-SS750M 750w Review" and the reviews should be right there.
Could it be the PSU that won't power both cards? Should I try to power the second card with an external PSU?
Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it!

Msi G41M-P25 won't boot

Hi everyone,
I just bought a new mother board and processor, installed win7 rebooted several times, then next day I couldn't boot it up. No post , nothing. Screen dead.
The board is MSI G41M-P25, processors E6500.
product page: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=2014
I tried, resetting the bios, switching psu, memory modules etc. but no result. I even tried with a new bios battery.
I read some had problems with this board, some even were DOA.
On some other forum, somebody had a problem that his bios didn't support its newer cpu. So they used an older cpu to update the bios.
But mine woked a day befote :(
At one pointe when i was intalling win 7, the bios reset istself, had to set time and date.
Any idea what can i do, or try before I send back the board?
Also the cpus fsb is 1066(266) should I set the switches on the easy oc to 200->266?

Update: I tried with my q6600 cpu, it started, booted into windows, then tried flash the bios, its asked for restart then , dead. No more life sign. No matter what which cpu i use. I never seen anything like this. This is my first Msi product, not a very lucky start :((

MSI X99S MPOWER won't boot (Debug 00) after installing Transcend 256 M.2 SSD

Hey all, as the subject suggests I bought a new MSI X99S Mpower mobo. I put together a new system with it without any problems using my old SSD. I received a new M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) once I installed it the system would no longer boot. I removed the M.2 SSD and the unit will now still not boot. I power on and the LED just displays 00.

what bios version you are using?
can you list the exact M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) mode/part number?

[Athlon64] msi k8mm-ilsr won't boot

hey guys,
My girls computer isn't booting. I can't even boot off a CD. I get the same thing everytime.
The last attempt to restart the system failed from its previous location failed. Attempt to restart again?
Delete restoration data and proceed to system boot menu
Continue with system restart
It appears that the system freezes at that point. Anyone have a clue?
The computer has been working fine for over a year.

???????
You didn't press the Any-key????
Or you have a stupid USB-keyboard? If so then use a PS/2 one....
Ps. dude...you need to set the USB support to keyboard support etc, or it won't react.....that's why I still use PS/2 stuff, none of such trouble.

X220 won't boot sometime

Hi
I am facing a very weired problem with my lenovo x220. I have been using this laptop for few years and never faced any issues with my x220. But from last few weeks i am facing a problem that cannot be ractiifed. I have changed my laptop screen as it was shattered few weeks ago. Since that i have problem to power on my laptop. I have remove the battery and hold the power button 30 second to reset the battery. Sometime it works and sometime it doesn't. I have changed the CMOS battery as it was identified as dead. After replacing the old CMOS battery with a new one i am still facing the same problem. Sometime the laptop did power on after removing the battery and hold the power on button for 30 seconds and put the battery back to power up but it is doesnt work all the time. Sometime i have to try few hours by removing the battery and hold the power button for 30 seconds. Once it power on it works fine and even if i shutdown the laptop it still manages to power on normally straight after but if the laptop didnt turned on for few hours it goes back to that stupid mode of not powering up. Can someone please help me/advice me regarding to this issues. Thank you in advnace.
Moderator comment: Please don't post the same message(s) in multiple places as it splinters the discussion. Duplicate(s) removed.

Thanks for the suggestions, I managed to find out what was wrong:
There is a boot exclusion list in BIOS that I was not aware of, and USB flash drive was on here by default on my machine for some reason. If anybody else have USB boot issues, this is how I got it working:
With a bootable USB Flash Drive plugged in, go into BIOS settings, Startup, select the >Boot header and press enter so you get the boot device order list. Scroll down past the last entry in this list, and you will jump to a boot exclusion list. Find your USB flash drive here and type "!" to get it off the exclusion list and on to the boot device order list. Save BIOS changes. Now it will also show on F12 at boot, and boot.

MSI A75MA-G55 - Code D7

Hello all! This is a very recent issue, I just started my PC up and it tried to update (Windows Vista 64x Home) and it was at Step 3 of 3, 0%. It hung there for a bit and then restarted. Back at the POST, the numbers at the bottom hung at "92" and then went to "D7" and beeped three times only to repeat this process again. I looked through my manual and there are no codes or anything for troubleshooting. Thanks for your help

My PSU is Thermaltake TT-450. I haven't tried memtest. It is actually 5 beeps, and according to http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/tp/ami-beep-codes.htm that means processor error. Which sort of makes sense. Lately I've been getting a 3B stop code with ks.sys being the issue, and it points to graphical errors, which my GPU lies in my processor. I was messing around with OC the other night, couldn't get a stable boot, would that have caused any damage? It wasn't even booting up. It doesn't seem to matter whether I have 1 or 2 sticks of RAM in.

MSI Wind U100 won't boot or POST!

My CPU fan was getting noisy so i decided to take the back off and blow out the dust. Before i put it back together i decided to plug in the battery and turn it on with the back cover off to make sure i fixed the noisy fan. That's when it happened. The blue star lights up and that's it. Blank screen, no POST, nothing! Hmm, i thought maybe there was a case sensor or something so i pulled the battery, put the cover back on and still nothing. Oh yeah, the CPU Fan spins for 2 seconds, much quieter now.
I have also tried... removing the battery and power cord and let sit 10 minutes, power by cord with battery removed, removing little BIOS motherboard battery, removing HDD, re-seating all connectors from LCD screen, and the usual cursing.
Somebody please tell me how to fix this thing.

I have the exact same issue...only one blue light and power cycles when you try to stop it. System will not post.
New board, CPU, and RAM. video card from a working system.
Already tried reseating CPU and fan...already tried moving ram to second (black) slot.

MSI P67A-GD65 Won't Boot

Think my mobo might be DOA but not sure:
When I turned the machine on the first time It said ram configuration had changed and i needed to enter setup, when i pressed F1 to do so a _ appeared in the top left of the screen and flashed, it did this for 30 seconds then rebooted continually.
This is testing out of the main machine on carboard, with 1 stick of ram (4GB corsair Vengeance 1600 Mhz), Gfx card (MSI N480GTXM2D15), SSD (Corsiar Force F60), adn optical drive (Sony DVD-R). Any ideas?
Thanks,

As above I briefly mentioned how I had the same problem related to the blinking cursor and how the computer would not accept keyboard commands.
Like you, I turned it on the following day, and suddenly, the commands worked. However as per my final notes here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=686c0a276dfe3aa420ae61e9b19a715e&topic=144799.0
it still was borked.
Fortunately you got yours to work, but given the amount of problems you(and I) had, I just wish we had a more concrete reason as to why this is happening.
