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 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

  • 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

    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?

    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.

  • 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.

    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 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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

    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.

    I also can't access the BIOS.
    so your laptop freezes at MSI logo and if you spam or press DELETE button few times on boot do you then only get "-" line? if so then either it's bios has hanged itself so if your able to access cmos battery from back area where you can access hard drive, ram and such then disconnect cmos battery leave it disconnected for 15 mins also make sure ac and battery is disconnected to once done put cmos battery back and then actuall battery and try with starting the laptop and see if it passes by MSI logo if it hangs again at MSI logo then spam Delete and see if you can enter bios but if bios throws an black screen with "-" again then you would have to RMA your laptop since it sems something is wrong with your motherboard causing bios not wanting to work propertly.

  • G41M-P25 / HW monitor F71889F - incorrect CPU temperature readings?

    My old mainboard blew up (literally, the capacitators leaked) and I had it replaced with a G41M-P25. The tech guy also put a new CPU cooler on the board because for whatever reason he decided that my old one wouldn´t fit. From then on my PC became extremely unstable, according to various monitor programs the CPU temperature was ca. 60°C in idle mode and went up to 85°C (!) within 2 minutes with full CPU load then the board would shut down.
    I went back to the store and complained and got a stronger cooler. The system runs stable now, but the CPU temperature readings are still quite high: ca. 50°C in idle, up to 68°C with full load. I double-checked the values in the BIOS monitor and it shows the same temperatures. But the heat sink is cool (way below body temperature) and when I touch the spot where it is sitting on the CPU it is cool, too.
    So... what are the chances that the HW monitor is reporting an incorrect CPU temperature? Is there any known issue with the mainboard G41M-P25 and the built in HW monitor Fintek F71889F? SpeedFan also reports quite high temperatures for "temp2" under full load (up to 80-90°C), which seems to be the mosfet temperature - but I know that SpeedFan is not completely to be trusted. I just worry about the CPU temperature, according to the Intel datasheet it should be ca. 63°C at most.
    My system:
    Mainboard MSI G41M-P25
    CPU Intel Pentium D 2.8GHz
    The Pentium D is known for getting hot fast, but on the other hand the cooler is already pretty strong and like I said a touch test revealed that the area near the CPU is way below body temperature, so nowhere near 68°C. In comparison the temperature reported for my graphics card is 50-60°C which seems to be correct because it actually is hot and the air surrounding it is warm, too. Should I just ignore the temperature readings? Or is this a problem which can possibly be fixed with a BIOS update? Or maybe complain again and have the mainboard replaced?

    Well, I used Speedfan. Problem is when under load temp2 hits about 80°C thermal throttling occurs which makes my processor useless for gaming. Because of that, I changed processor for my old P4 3,0GHz and OC'ed it a little (@3,27GHz). Temps are similiar, but lower than 80°C. Here is log from Speedfan after 2 mins CPU torture:

  • MSI K8N Neo3-F + MSI NX 6200LE-TD128E (PCX) - won't boot

    Last time I bought 2 things:
    Mobo - MSI K8N Neo3-F
    Graphic Card - MSI NX 6200LE-TD128E with TC (PCX)
    When I start PC I have seen only black screen and hear noise from PC Speaker 
    Mobo didn't see graphic card. To check graphic card I install it on second mobo (MSI K8N Neo4 Platinium) and when I start it,it work fine.
    To check PCX slot on mobo i install second graphic card (MSI NX6600 GT) and when I start it, it work fine too.  
    Next step was mobo BIOS update but it nothing change and PC with  K8N Neo3 + NX6200LE still won't boot.
    Graphic card BIOS is newest.
    Anyone have idea why K8N Neo3-F + NX6200LE doesn't want work together.
    PS1. sorry for my english

    Gives more specs / details on your hardware especially on your PSU!! I'm worried that your psu problem as it need more power in order to boot up. Regards.

    DVD-REC LITEON SHM-165P6S
    WD CAVIAR 80GB (WD800JB)

    I tried with 2 PSU

    2- Chiftec 420W
    With both don't boot
    but mobo + NX6600GT with Modecon PSU work fine.
