MSI CX600 won't boot

Hello all,
Would anyone gives an idea what could be the problem
I bought MSI CX600 in jan 2010 and 2 years later it started with this problem
When laptop is turned on or resumed, the operating system (windows7) will not load. The laptop screen does not turn on at all, This does not seem to be an OS issue as the bios screen does not load either. The only way the laptop can be turned off is to remove the battery. (Cannot be turned off by holding off button)
The laptop will load OS every 5-15 attempts (having to remove battery to turn off each time) This occurs on battery and A/C. When the issue occurs, The half moon and HDD lights are both solid on, If the laptop boots correctly the HDD light will turn off and later start to flash.
is the same exact problem that one of the forum user a.rhook posted in 2010, but no one answered, I took hdd out and put it in a caddy and i can read it through another computer and run chckdsk and found no problem, anyone now in 2013 got any idea
Many thx

thanks for reply, but unfortunately warranty ran out, i took it to repair shop, they couldn't figure out the problem, they it could be the graphics card but others said that cards don't give this kind of symptoms, the one that confused them is it turns on with power button, but you have to take battery to shut off and it won't turn on with battery on until you plug power, very strange
thank anyway

MSI GX600 won't boot. Pls. Help!

Hey guys I need your help!
I know it's kind of an old laptop and I've already moved on with another one. But it's such a waste to throw away (since it's my first gaming laptop) and I'm planning to give it to my mom but it won't boot.
Here are the details:
1) When I turn it on, the fans are functioning the cd-drive is functioning but nothing comes out of the screen. It's just black.
2) Upon turning it on the system boot light will flicker for just a moment and it will turn off. Only the light under the "light bulb" symbol is on which means it's in sleep mode?
3)I tried the EC reset but the problem is still there. I'm not planning to reset the CMOS battery myself since I might end making it worse. ( I don't know where it is =P)
I don't know if the problem is BIOS related or hardware related but I'm sure the laptop batteries and the AC charger are working fine.
I just need your opinions/diagnosis on the possible problems that my laptop are experiencing before I ship it to a faraway city. There are no MSI service centers in our city which makes it even worse.
THANKS IN ADVANCE! :(

I had the exact same symptoms and managed to fix this issue by resetting the BIOS.
If you're not afraid of taking a screwdriver to your laptop, do the following:
- unscrew the bottom plate
- find the battery, in my case it was covered in blue plastic
- pull the wire that's attached to it, from its connector on the motherboard
- after a minute, plug it back in
The above worked for me, I hope it helps someone else as well.

MSI 6182 won't boot

Hi, I have a MSI 6182 that I am having problems getting to boot up. I've tried removing everything except the CPU and memory and the computer will not boot up. All that happens is that the computer turns on and the diagnostic led's light up 0101, indicating that it is Testing VGA Bios. I've tried clearing the cmos and that doesn't help. too bad it doesn't have a agp slot and I don't have any pci video cards.
Can I reflash the bios? That is my last hope it seems... I am about read to throw out this board because I can't figure out what is wrong...

I wouldn't put much stock in the "C" by the MSI logo mine has the same C to the right of the 6th PCI slot (white ink) as well but above the PCI slot it says ms6182 ver:1 but on mine (maybe yours?) when I took the board right out of the case on the bottom of the ISA slot are a couple stickers to really confuse the issue mine says 9909 Option:A S/N 573853 So you'd think ver:A but it also says MSI MS-6182D & it had a PIII 550E Coppermine SBridge 82801AA NBridge 82810DC100 so Ver: D is my guess.
My board won't boot just like yours I get a black screen but I get 1 long & 2/3 short beeps on mine which on an Award Bios v1.4 means a video bios error & since you can't replace the noexistent AGP card your board like mine may be DOA. I've pretty much gave up on mine but I may try to flash the bios blind one of these days it's a paperweight anyway & I got nothin to lose now I got another Mobo finally
I've tried different Ram, CPU, Battery, ISA Vid, PCI Vid, it just beeps & stays black but maybe yours isn't so bad off Sorry my post isn't more helpful but I pretty much wrote my MOBO off already

MSI 655 Won't boot.

I have a problem with my comuputer. It started with the computer freezing after a while. It had nothing to do with Windows, since it froze in Windows-installer or when booting from floppy too. Now the computer won't boot at all, the POST-message never appears on the screen after power-on. I have tested RAM and GFX in other computers, and they work fine. I have also tested with another power supply unit, with the same result. So I think it is the motherboard that is the problem, but I wanted to hear if anyone else has exprienced a similar problem. I have not installed any new hardware recently, and it has worked fine for 8 months.
My system:
MSI 655 Max FISR
P4 2.53 GHz
512 MB OCZ DDR400
PoV Gforce 4 Ti4200 128 MB
160 GB Maxtor SATA IDE
350W PSU

Ok, I need to admit that the 655Max was a problematic board... I was also told by my local distribution engineer that ver1.0 of the chipset was not well made so alot of problems surfaced out. But before fully pointing my 10 little fingers on the mobo, I would like to ask some questions.
1) List out the Specs of the PSUs that you've used before or tested before on this system.
2) Did you lower your DDR400 RAMs to DDR 333MHz in BIOS first before installing and anything else?

You could either:

2. unlock the CPU multiplier and void CPU warranty
3. lower down your (unlocked) multiplier and run at FSB 166Mhz so all PCI and AGP are still in default speed.
Any other speed than 100Mhz, 133Mhz and 166Mhz FSB is NOT recommended!
Please don't quote me further as overclocking is at your own risk and may spoil your hardware.
And you think that i dind not try those 3 points X(
ofcourse i did but my board does not boot @ a multiplyr difrend than 13,5 ( and yes the cpu is unlocked ).
and about overclocking:
that i destroy my hardware i dont care its cheap stuff and i have plenty of cooling so i am not really worryd about that.
Any one else has som info for me ?

Msi Ge60 won't boot

Hello guys,
In the last two weeks I've been getting problems with msi ge60 startup. Each time I shut down the system when I restarted it it waited on the black screen for 5-10 minutes, eventually getting to open somehow(I kept pressing stuff on the keyboard, and putting random DVD's into it)
This time when it got to hibernate mode it won't start at all. Fans work, CD driver seems to work when there is a DVD in it, the power LED keeps changing between orange/blue, and hard drive LED keeps blinking(Same thing happened the other times). I really don't know what the issue is but I would really like to solve it this evening as I will have to be using it tomorrow morning. What kept me from sending it back is the fact that it eventually booted.
Other notes:
I don't know anything about this but the boot device order was CD/DVD-USB-Hard drive-etc and something called fastboot or secureboot or something(It was only one but I don't know which one) was on. I did not touch the settings.

After finding this thread I think I'll give my money to Samsung this time.

Need help! MSI laptop won't boot from SSD

Hello, I bought an MSI GP60 2PE Leopard 4 months ago, and recently decided to upgrade its hard drive to an SSD.
However, after cloning my C drive (my boot drive) directly to the SSD, the laptop refuses to boot from it. It can detect the drive and I can access the files from it (when I open up My Computer, the drive shows up as drive F). But, when I swap out the hard drive with this SSD, it says "no media detected" when booting up.
The SSD i bought is a 128GB Kingston SSD if this information helps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Follow Darkhawk's simple guide https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=179716.0. Cloning seems to end in tears & having to use this method anyway. FWIW, I stupidly tried to clone when I installed a SSD few mths back & naturally it didn't work, wasting a few hrs in the process. This method works first time/everytime.

MSI GX60 won't boot up

My system has suddenly just started to not boot up for me anymore. I turn the laptop on and all I get is the light on the power button staying orange and I can hear the fans running. I am unable to do anything on it currently besides boost the fan and turn the keyboard light on and off. Is there any methods I can use to help solve this issue? Preferably I would rather not have to send the system off for repairs if it can be helped at all.

try ec reset https://forum-en.msi.com/faq/article/how-to-reset-the-ec-embedded-controller
then see how its goes
also try to boot with battery only and with ac charger only and with both of them

MSI P43 won't boot with usb devices connected

My system:

Corsair 4 x 2GB ram PC2-8500 1066MHz
Seagate 320 GB hd
Hitachi 1 TB hd
Samsung 1.5 TB hd

Samsung DVD Write Master
When i try to boot i freezes at the detecting usb devices when i have a usb device connected. It does with any usb device. But when i boot up without any usb devices connected then i boot fine and i can connect the devices right after the detection of usb devices. How can that be?

Googled on "computer not booting with usb code 6b38" and found this:
Quote
****SLOW BOOT-UP in POST SCREEN****
P.S. If you see the BIOS code 6B38 in the bottom right corner of the screen, this is a indication that USB Legancy support is enabled in the BIOS. If this is enabled and you have any usb devices attached such as a external USB Hard drive, your system will take ages to go through the POST boot screens.
So disable this setting in the BIOS and the system will then boot in a matter of Seconds
From:
http://www.rebelshavenforum.com/sis-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=30;t=000250
Also try and see if a clear CMOS will help, some people suggested that from a old post from MSI forum here, saying its bios 1.3 thats bugged.
So if disabling doesnt work, perhaps down/upgrading BIOS might.

MSI G4Ti4200 won't boot

Hi all
My current system is:-

Graphics Card : 64Mb NVIDIA Geoforce2MX 100/200 (4xAGP)
Hard Drive : 20Gb HD (IDE)
Motherboard : Gigabyte GA-6VXC7-4X-P (Rev 5.X) VIA 694X+686B Chipset (VIA

CD RW : Samsung SW-204B
CD : LG CRD-8520B
PSU: ADVANCE ADV-300 PTF [300W]
Tower: ATX Midi
OS: Windows XP
I decided for xmas to upgrade my graphics card to a shiny new MSI 128mb
G4Ti4200. However once I have inserted the card I cannot get the card to
work.
On the very first booting screen (where it details the amount of graphics
memory) the screen is full of !! in vertical lines and in pairs. On the
first BIOS screen there are thin blue lines and the following screen has the
!!. Once the Windows XP logo appears there are no more , but when the
desktop should appear the computer just resets itself and this process keeps
looping.
Can anyone help me to get this card to work? The computer is fine if I reinstall my old card
Cheers
Graeme

Graeme,
Just because your power supply says it is a 300W power supply, it does not mean it give out that much power. Since you are running a PIII you do not need as much power out of your power supply as you would with a PIV/Athlon, but you still need the 3.3v RAIL to put out enough amps to run a GeForce4 Ti.
So please give us your power supply specs, especially how many Amps the 3.3v and 5v RAILS put out and the max combined 3.3v and 5v Wattage (That is the number Noby was saying should be close to 200W)
Here is an example of what we are talking about:
Check out this POS Kingwin. It lists 4 different power supplies on its sticker from a 250W to a 400W. You can see how this brand does not deliver the power in any of its versions.
Now when you take this Antec Power Supply, check out its output.
You can see not all power supplies are the same. If you have a no name generic power supply in your computer, you might not be generating the juice that your GF4Ti4200 needs.
Hope this helps,
Richard

MSI K7D Won't Boot. :-(

Hello everyone!
I'd been reading but I can't seem to find the solutions.
I bought a MSI K7D-L Master (red motherboard) with D-Bracket, and USB 2.0 card.
My system wouln't boot and stuck with the DLED lights as the following:
1-2 - Red
3-4 - Green
It hangs here, and doesn't boot. According to the manual, I think it fails at initialising hard drive controller. Any help?
AMD MP 1800+ (2)
512MB RAM
64MB GeForce MX 440
I have another MSI K7D board (without LAN/USB, green motherboard) which boots with all the same hardware!
Please help!

Hi
Be sure to disable the on-board USB.
Try another VGA adapter

MSI KT6V won't boot, won't go to bios setup, hangs at memory check.

Hey guys.
I made the mistake of buying his motherboard from a mom and pop shop on a Saturday afternoon right before they close (not open today for support :/ ). I've checked the forums for a similar issue and it looks like mine may be unique. Without further delay, here's my problem:
So I decided to upgrade from an intel p4 2.4 HT to an athlon xp 3000+. I got a new CPU chip and the mentioned KT6V motherboard. I brought over my 1 gb of DDR400 ram from the p4 system. I hooked all of my drives (HDD, cd, dvd) and hardware components into the new system. Everything seemed to be looking good. But, then it gets to the memory check screen. It looks like the ram is okay, but it doesn't seem to want to locate the hard drives. I'm not certain on this though. It says that it found the 1 gb of ram with 3 ms (or is it ns? Not sure) latency.
Now, I spoke to an IT guy from my work and he said it is probably be the ram. I borrowed some of his DDR266 CL2.5 ram that he used in his wife's computer. The same thing happened...the system just hung.
Before I go on and give you my complete system specs, here's what the screen looks like when it hangs before it tries to boot. The 'American Megatrends' screen and logo pops up and as I mentioned, the ram info shows up with an 'OK' next to it (which leads me to believe it's not a ram issue, unless the motherboard is lying to me). Below that information, some options pop up for me to hit DEL to go to setup, ESC to skip memory check, and some other options for F10, F11, and F12 (I remember one of the settings was for boot with network). At any rate, none of these options work. If I hit the delete key to go into setup the DEL text is overwritten with 'OK-->' text so it looks like this: 'DEL: Setup' to 'OK-->Setup'. So that tells me that the system hasn't locked up. Now, the system hangs there but if I then try to hit F12 for Network boot, another 'OK-->' shows up next to that option. No matter how long I wait, nothing happens (I let the computer run for 1 hour last night hoping it'd just eventually go into setup with no results).
I've tried disconnecting my SATA HDD, my IDE HDD, my CD/DVD drives with no results. I've tried switching memory sticks, trying only one stick (I had 2x 512mb DDR400 ram and 2x 256mb DDR266 ram) to see if maybe the motherboard just doesn't like 2 sticks of ram. Again, nothing. So, I'm pretty much out of ideas.
Here are my system specifications:
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 3000+ (not sure of FSB, it's not on my receipt...came installed on my mobo)
RAM: 2x 512 mb DDR400 CL3.0 and 2x 256 mb DDR266 CL2.5 (testing purposes)
Videocard: Nvidia geforce 6600 GT 128 mb AGP
HDD1: Seagate Barracuda ST3160023AS 160GB Hard Drive (Serial ATA-150, 7200 RPM, 8MB)
HDD2: Western Digital IDE 100GB
CD drive1: Generic DVD-Rom drive
CD drive2: Generic DVD-RW drive
Let me also note that the guys at the shop made sure to take 30 minutes to update my motherboard's bios and test everything out (with THEIR components, not my old system's guts). So apparently everything works, but the motherboard doesn't seem to like some of my hardware. If anyone can shed some light on this subject, I'd greatly appreciate it! Otherwise I guess I'll just have to wait until next week to get it figured out.
If you need anymore information that I may have left out, please ask!

Well, Blazing Storm, I took your advice. Everything is finally setup and working on my new computer now and seems to be working great...BUT, in 3d games, after an hour or two of playing, my computer might randomly lockup and restart. So, I'm assuming it's either my ram being strange or the power supply. My bet's on the 2nd one, especially after what you guys are saying.
So I ended up buying this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/PoWork-550W-Max-ATX-Power-Supply-w-SATA-Cable-Fast-Ship_W0QQitemZ6799810302QQcategoryZ3670QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It has some pretty good looking power settings as you guys have suggested, so I decided to get it. Hopefully this'll solve the crashing problems I've been having! Thanks again guys.

MSI 6533eg_LM Won't Boot

I just bought and installed a new MSI 6533EG-LM Mobo. Nothing displays when I turn on the computer. The PSU, FANS and drives run but nothing is displaying or sounds beinig made. I tried both on board VGA and VGA AGP Card. I checked the CPU and heatsink and everthing looks good. Also, I cleared the CMOS. What else would you recommend that I do?

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