MSI GT628(-455NL) new memory, doesn't boot

Hi there,
I have a MSI GT628 Gaming Notebook, and 2 days ago I decided to upgrade the RAM modules, because I need more memory for school (need to run multiple virtual machines at the same time on my laptop).
The stock memory is 4GB = 2x2GB Samsung SO-DIMMs, DDR3 PC3-8500 running at 1333MHz and 1,5V (also confirmed with CPU-Z)
2 days ago I bought 2 new SO-DIMMs, 2x8GB Kingston ValueRAM DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz 1,5V (CL11)
Normally if you buy faster memory in the same class it should crank it down to 1333MHz and msot of the tiem work normally, but I can't boot up my laptop with this new memory.
When I start my laptop, you hear the fan blowing for a second, then it stays on black screen with only the pwoer light on and scroll-lock light.
I've tested both 8GB modules oen by one seperately, on both slots. With only 1 of them installed it's the same. With the second one seperately it's also the same, and also tested on the other memory slot.
It keeps booting into black screen.
When I put the old stock memory back in, it works instantly, so the sltos are fully working.
With 1 of the old sticks and 1 of the 8GB, it also doesn't work. Same result.
I've reset my BIOS to factory defaults (via the BIOS menu) with the stock modules in, turned my laptop off, and put in the new RAM. Still the same result.
Does anyone have an idea what's wrong?
Can't my laptop run PC12800 modules and should I really buy PC-8500 ?
Maybe a BIOS jumper reset/CMOS battery reset would do the trick?
Thanks in advance,
-Wicked Vibez

  • MSI 990fxa-gd65 new build won't boot or post

    Hi, any help with this issue would be most appreciated
    I have just built a new system spec below:
    MSI 990fxa-gd65
    AMD FX8350
    2 x 4GB Hyper X fury DDR3 1866Mhz RAM
    MSI GTX960 Graphics card
    1TB WD HDD
    Corsair HX1000w (recovered from an older machine and in full working order)
    Unit powers ok, all fans are running, HD, Graphics card fans run and lights up DVD drive spins up OK too.
    Motherboard has two cpu phase lights lit. There is no post beeps or video out.
    I've tried it with a single stick of memory and a different lower spec video card but nothing seems to work. Some posts are suggesting the CPU may not be supported with the MoBo's current version of bios so questions are:
    How can I find out the bios version and if it is compatible as it doesn't reach the bios screen?
    If it needs updating how do you update it?

    Hi,
    Post S/N of the motherboard and we are able to tell you (roughly) which BIOS version it has.
    What if you try without graphics card?
    Did you try to clear CMOS? --> >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
    If it needs updating, you will either need:
    -Supported CPU by current BIOS
    -SPI programmer (some IT services has one)

  • MSI 945P Neo-F - PC doesn't boot

    Hey,
    my PC worked for about 1 1/2 years, but a few days ago suddenly it didn't boot - the screen was black and the PC made some beep sounds (1x long, 2x short -> video card defect). I installed the D-Bracket and it says, that there is a problem with the floppy device (but i have NOT a floppy device). I did the C-MOS reset -> nothing changed. I changed the RAM sticks -> nothing changed. I unplugged all devices (but video card, CPU, RAM, PSU) -> nothing changed. What shall I do now? (I have no other video card - only AGP, but my board doesn't support AGP)
    PC Data:
    Mainboard: MSI 945P Neo-F
    CPU: Intel Pentium D 920
    Power Supply Unit: 350W (with case "Jou Jye JJ-7029B")  Detailled Specifications
    RAM: 1024MB (and also tested with 512MB DDR2 Corsair Value-Kit [Dual-Channel])
    Video-Card: MSI NX6600 - VTD256EH passiv
    And... Sound+Networkcard, Mouse+Keyboard, DVD-Drive

    1) Reset CMOS
    2) Test with only 1 x RAM
    3) Test with a better PSU
    4) Test with another GPU
    Btw, I'll move your thread to Pentium 4 and Core Duo section for more discussions.

  • After installing new memory modules cannot boot windows

    I have a G60-458DX with 4GB of RAM; (two 2GB modules) running Vista.  Spec's say that I can install up to 8GB. 
    After I installed two 4GB modules Windows Vista would not boot.  The power light was on but the software would not boot.  Could not turn off the power until I uplugged power cord and pulled the battery.  Put the battery and the two 2GB modules back in and had no problem with booting up the software.  The modules I tried to install were new (never used) and the same specifications as the 2GB modules.  Is there any way I can check the new modules? 

    Hi,
    If you check Page 52 of your Maintenance & Service Guide this would also indicate a maximum of 4Gb as the largest modules specified are 2GB for each slot.
    Definetely worth checking further, but I have a feeling that this apparent 4Gb limit is the problem.
    All the best,
    DP-K

  • Will WebNS 7.5 auto fallback if new code failed to boot?

    Hi,
    I'm preparing for WebNs upgrade from 7.4 to 7.5 to 8.2
    And change will be done remotely.
    My question is, what will happen if the new code doesn't boot up after we reboot the CSS?
    Will it auto fall back to the previous working code?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Good to see your going to 8.20 software.
    I can't say for sure whether or not your CSS will fall back to the original image, although my suspicion is that it will not.  I will assume that your CSS is in a redundant configuration consisting of a pair of CSS.  Please correct me if I'm wrong.  You can alway upgrade the standby CSS, and make sure if boots up OK on the new code.  Then you can fail over to it, while you upgrade the second CSS.  This way, you would always be upgrading the standby CSS, so traffic should not be impacted, even in the event of a boot failure.  Then you can recover the standby that didn't boot properly while the master CSS is safely handling production traffic.
    Also, I would recommend using the upgrade script rather than the manual upgrade process, especially if you have any custom user accounts and/or custom scripted probes.  Another good idea as a backup plan is to temporarily (or permanently) arrange for console access to the two CSS during the upgrade process, just in case it is needed, as you are doing the upgrade remotely.

    I had the same problem with a P67A-C45 board. The problem is your videocard .I build my system with a Nvidia gt9500 and it didn't work. After a bit of testing (and also a new mainboard) I found out that after changing the videocard with an old ati card it does work). I send an e-mail to msi support i got a new biosversion for my mainboard (1.68) and everything works fine now.
    Videocard it is. Thanks a lot, I'd never guess.
    With simple ATI card id loads well.
    So, is it going to work with GTX460 if I get latest BIOS?

  • New P55-GD65 System with old already installeWindows 7 doesn't boot, Blue screen

    I just built my new system with these specs
    1. Core i5
    2. P55-GD65
    3. Kingston 2x2gb 1333Mhz DDR3
    4. MSI N275GTX Twin FROZR
    5. 650watt PSU
    6. Sony DVD/CD RW+
    7. BIOS Ver 1.2
    I had a 500gb SATA WD HDD which i used with my old system, with windows 7 ultimate 32bit and windows xp 64bit installed. It was working pretty fine with that system. When i built this new rig, i installed the same HDD with it but wt i now face is that my win7 doesn't boot. Soon after windows 7's logo appears, the system reboots after a short blue screen. On reboot win7 asks for a startup repair . . . when i go for it, it fails to repair. I get the following thing in error;
    Problem event name: StartupRepairOffline
    Problem Signature 01: (win 7's version is listed here - the same goes for Prob Signature 02)

    I even tried to go for Repair through Windows 7 CD but in vain.
    Can anybody help me here. I really don't want to go for a fresh installation.
    Regards,
    Bkee
    P.S
    My XP 64bit works pretty fine wid it although some drivers for "SM BUS Controller" and "Base System Cannot" can't be found.. The problem is only wid win7.

    Quote
    will give a try to install msi drivers using my old system and then connecting the HDD back to this new rig.... Hope it will work...!!!!
    That activity is pointless.  You cannot install drivers for stuff that is not there on your old system.
    Please do yourself a favour and stop dancing around this whole problem (which seems like a pseudo-problem to me).  Putting on a fresh installation of the operating system is the first thing that should be done on a new system configuration.  Even if you manage to get stuff working without reinstalling, you are working with a potential driver mess and a confused Windows Registry that may throw problems at you that you may currently not be an issue.

  • My Msi 6163 Pro doesn't boot !

    I change the motherboard Msi 6163 Pro of my old PC but it doesn't boot !! 
    The diagnostic leds are 1010 (Green Red Green Red) : Testing Base and extended memory ... (from 240k to 640k and above 1Mb)
    I test 4 different memory modules on this motherboard : they can't all be out of order ....
    - I test PC 100-128 SDRAM 16*8
    - and PC 100-128M 8*16
    Do you have an idea for this problem    ? The mainboard, the memory module, the pentium (pentium III 500)
    No overclocking, default configuration, bios has been initialised ...
    Thanks a lot.

    Hi dude !
    I have Msi6163 bx master.... This motherboard support copermine.
    Yes..it is a big chance that the problem is related to sdram type memory. I personaly have 512MB of sdram (all 4 slots full) I have mixed sdrams... some are 133mhz, some of them are 100mhz. The bus is overclocked to 133mhz from 100mhz so my p3 650 mhz works on 866 since 2001 year without any problem. I have difficulties to find working sdram on this motherboard when i upgraded it with more memory. Some sdram modules didnt work, some of them has been recognized as half of it, boot problems and so go on... I know that in mynual is written whic sdram must be. 
    I check now on site http://www.crucial.com/  for the answer for your problem. I found this:
    These 168-pin DIMM modules are compatible with your system.:

  • Adding 512mb ram doesn't boot up my MSI-6585!

    My mobo is Max 648, MSI-6585 and I have Kingston KVR333X64C25/512 ram.  I had installed it in first slot, moving 256mb PC2700 to other slot.
    It will not boot up, and there were diagnosis leds light up telling me it's a fault memory or not installed properly so I took it back to shop and exchanged for another one.
    And had a go with it, iy's the same as before.
    I have been downloading test report and it states that this ram will work!
    Is there anything I am missing? ?(
    Installing ram should be straightforward??

    Actually, 256mb pc2700 ram comes with motherboard works fine.
    But my pc doesn't boot up with 512mb ram installed, even on its own (does boot up but produces some errors in windows XP)
    However, I have checked everything and there's one thing i'm unsure about, I noticed that Hyper Threading is enabled on bios even though my intel CPU doesn't have HT.  I have disabled it but i haven't test 512mb ram yet (with HT disabled) as i need to know what is causing this ram problem.  Could enabling HT causes problem with rams or nothing at all?
    I was contacted by Kingston support and they asked me if i have updated bios in my mobo and i checked, it's AMI 3.31a which is the latest at the moment as i have only received mobo a week ago.
    But I have found other 648 Max mobo, MSI 6585 Mobo (without HT) it has bios version 1.5 as the latest.
    My mobo manual logo say 648 Max (but didn't say HT)...could be mixed up?? ?(
    But I assumed mine is 648 Max HT because my bios screen showed its AMI v3.31a which is like that since I receive this mobo.
    Also could bios settings effect rams installed?

  • How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    How do I import an iPhoto Library  (V.7.1.5) created on my old MacBook (10. 6.8) into my new Macbook pro (10.9.1) running iPhoto 9.5.1? I tried copying onto memory stick and moving to new mac, but new iPhoto doesn't recognise the library.

    So what exactly did you copy over? If it's a 12 gig iPhoto Library then it sounds like the files are there. Perhaps the copy went wrong along the way.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
