MSI H61M-P23 (B3) Successfuly updated bios won't start the pc.

Hey guys,
I have a major issue now. I accidentally started updating bios on my motherboard, but after tackling some major problems regarding the usb format and missing files, I have managed to get it updated successfully. Now I have another problem where my PC just won't start. I won't even give me a beep. Basically what happens is that it starts working for a second. The fans spin, and my keyboard and USB LEDs flash for a second and then it does that over and over again without even starting up.
What do I do?

Try clearing cmos (>>Clear CMOS Guide<<) else the board is bricked as the update failed. You can either have it flashed with an SPI flash programming device by a pc-shop or MSI (not for free of course), replace the board or rma it if still under warranty (what is most likely not the case).

MSI H61M-P23 (B3) - Failed BIOS Update, PC Won't Boot

I attempted to update the BIOS on my MSI H61M-P23 motherboard and the update failed. Attempted to reboot the PC and no longer have access to the BIOS and the PC does not boot. Additionally, there are two short beeps in POST. Any suggestions on resolving this issue?

I don't recall what the old BIOS version was, but whatever the newest version that's available for download from MSI is what I attempted to flash. I ran the BIOS update in Windows and my PC froze for over an hour and wouldn't respond, so I powered it down and went to power it back up and now I get a blank screen and two beeps in POST.
which version exactly you tried to update?

this isn't usefull

When I try starting my iPod touch, it won't start; the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds, and then, it just shuts off. I tried to charge it through an outlet; the iPod didn't even charge, so I tried to restore my settings on my computer. iTunes won't

when i try starting my IPod it won't start, the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds,and then. it just shut off . I tried to charged it through an outlet, the IPod didn't eve charger so I tried to restore my setting in my computer, i tunes won't

But that requires the computer to see the ipod. I am having the same problem and I keep being told to restore it, but you have to either get the ipod to turn on or have the computer see it in order to so that. Right now I have a pretty useless 32GB ipod touch cos I cant get the thing to turn on! I can only get the apple logo for like maybe 20 seconds and it goes away. Ive charged it for days on a wall charger, on the computer usb charger, and on a speaker charger. Nothing works.

BIOS won't start - MSI GS70 Stealth

Hi,
I have a GS70 but since I tried to update the bios (in the bios utility), the bios won't startup anymore. When I press 'del' during setup the screen goes black with a '-' on the screen. However windows does startup correctly when not entering bios mode.
I tried to do a flash through the DOS prompt with the following command 'afuwinx64 E1771IMS.E50' (I have the non raid version) to try to restore the problem but this didn't fix it.
I hope someone has a fix for this problem.
Sincerely,
Jochem

Just solved the problem thank you darkhawk.
If anyone has the same problem, here is what I did.
- Prepared a MSI HQ memory stick
- Since I couldn't boot from USB anymore I pressed F3 during bootup
- Then in the menu go to dos-prompt
- go to memory stick
- type flashwin64.bat
- after update hold power for 4 sec
- Disconnect power cable
- hold reset button for 5 minutes (since you can't remove the battery very easily on the GS70)
- insert power cable
- boot up
thank you.
You shouldn't need to hold reset for 5 minutes, but holding it for 20 to 30 seconds should be sufficient. Needless to say, I'm glad you got the issue fixed.

MSI H61M-P23 dies when SSD is connected

I purchased a Kingston 64GB SSD to use with my H61M-P23. The system had previously been running successfully for days with a standard WD hard drive.
After replacing the hard drive with the SSD the system will not power on - no lights, no beeps, no fans - nothing. Assuming that the system board was defective, I exchanged it for another.
I connected the new system board to the original hard drive to make sure it worked and it did. But again, after connecting the SSD, no lights, no beeps, no fans - dead, again.
Now suspecting a defective SSD, I decide to try one more time using an old system board. It works! The system POSTs and the SSD is listed in the BIOS.
Is there a specific SATA port that the SSD needs to be using on this board?
Is there some BIOS setting that I am missing?

Quote
Plugged in the SSD, pressed the power switch and got nothing (no lights, no fans, no beeps) on the first attempt, both times. Removed SSD, cleared CMOS, plugged in SATA hard drive, pressed power switch, again nothing.
That is very strange, because the only connection there is between board and SSD is the SATA connection, which does not include a dedicated power line but only data and ground lines. When the PSU is simply switched on (and not running, when it is in standby mode), all the power it supplies is +5V-Standby voltage over the 24-Pin ATX connector that acts as the source for the power-on signal when the power-on button is pressed.
In that state there is not supposed to be any voltage supply to peripheral devices and therefore not to the SSD either. You cannot really knock-out a mainboard by simply plugging in an S-ATA connector and even with an SSD attached to it, there is not supposed to be any voltages or currents involved.
So the question is, what could have knocked out the board when the system wasn't actually turned on? Electro-static discharge is one explanation, but the chances of that happening the same way twice, are close to zero. If some sort of over-current was responsible, or a short circuit, then your board would have at least done something when first turned on after you attached the SSD. You said, there was absolutely no response from the system when you turned it on the first time.
Now, this is somewhat of a riddle. Chances are that there is some sort of short-circuit involved here and/or a flaky power supply creating a voltage differential when it is not supposed to (in standby mode) that was somehow re-directed "through" the SSD into the board's circuits. A defective or a wrongly connected cable could be able to cause similar damage, but there would usually be clear symptoms (system turns on for a quarter of a second and then crashes etc.).

Satellite L - After BIOS update it won't start up again

I just got an email saying there was a BIOS update for my laptop. It started to install but my computer shut down and won't start back up
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
The update was: ACPI Flash BIOS version 1.90 for Sat/Sat Pro L355D/L305D (PSLE0U, PSLC0/1U)

Hello
And what Satellite notebook you have exactly? Is your notebook designed for this update or is it another model?
After a failed BIOS update you can try this workaround: Remove the AC/DC adaptor and battery then wait one hour. After this connect the AC/DC adaptor and battery again. Now try to start the notebook again.
If the notebook doesnt start you need help from a notebook technician. Therefore contact the nearest authorized service provider. They can help and will try to reflash the ROM module I think or the mainboard must be exchanged.

After update, Itunes won't start, saying I need QT 7.3 but only have 7.2

I just did their update download to Itunes 6 after they informed me it was available. But the QuickTime version for windows is 7.0.2. But my windows computer won't start Itunes saying I need 7.0.3. I've had itunes for close to two years and have never had a problem. Until now. Now I can't open Itunes, can't get support help, and it doesn't seem like I can even go back to Itunes 5 which worked great. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

well you HAVE TO HAVE quicktime in order for iTunes to work sorry

check and make sure you firewall and antivirus is turned off during installation because it will block it from downlaoding.

After installing update, iMac won't start up

After installing the last updates my iMac won't start up, starts what look like install then just shuts down.

Would you care to tell us what exact model and version of iMac and what version of OS X you are using? We need a hint to help you.
Hope this helps .

After installing latest update Macbook won't start up.

After installing the latest update my macbook won't start up. Instead of the login screen I get a flashing map icon with a question mark. My uncle says that means it can't find the startup disk and I had to startup from the install disk holding C but it didn't work. I'm quite desperate because I need my macbook for school (writing & producing music). I type this on a friend's computer... How can I fix this? Or do I really have to go to a mac store and part from my macbook for an unknown time...? :'(
I don't exactly know what version I have (can't check it now either) but it's at least 10.6.something and I always install the updates...

Hi
Anything unusual happen during the 10.5.3 update installation phase?
What type of iMac are you using? Your tag says G5 but also Intel core processors - it can't be both.
Try this:
-First unplug your computer and wait 10 minutes
-Next, simultaneously reinsert the power cord while pressing the power button for 5 seconds then release
-Press the power button again to start the computer - this resets the computer's system management unit (SMU) which controls your machines power functions.
-Next, press/hold down the P/R/option/command keys for 3 Apple chimes. This clears the machine's PRAM. After the 3rd chime release those keys and immediately hold down the Shift key to put the machine into Safe User Mode
-If you get to a log-in screen (may take several minutes as repair functions are occurring on the boot), log-in. When the login is complete, restart the computer as usual.
If no go, I suggest taking the machine to a certified Apple tech, or if you live near an Apple store to the Genius Bar.

Pages update - Macbook won't recognize the update

Pages update - I updated Pages but the computer won't recognize it. Now I have documents I can't access because the computer says I must update. I have turned the computer on and off a few times and it hasn't helped.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened by newer Pages versions anywhere, is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

MSI R6870 gets boiling hot and PC won't start!

  Hi, i've had my MSI R6870 hawk for just over 6 months and it was always working fine until a few days ago. The computer basically started to reboot when I played a video game or movie etc. then played the typical 1 long 3 short beeps. Then it just won't start. After unplugging and testing each single part inside the pc. I realised the GFX card itself was getting too hot-- as soon as the pc switches on the right side of the card (facing the fans) becomes boiling hot and you can hardly lay your finger on it. The rest of the card seems to be at room temperature. Both fans seem to be working normally and I'd cleaned the the card with a bottle of compressed air not long ago so there shouldn't be dust or anything blocking the cooling system.
  I've searched online for answer and so far there's nothing so I realise this is not common. Although i'm not 100% sure I don't think my PSU is failing at all otherwise the lights on the GFX card wouldn't be on or the fans wouldn't work at all. My personal conclusion is that the card is overheating beyond its capacity therefore the PC detects a failing video component and won't start. But I would love to hear your thoughts on it.
  Thank you very much in advance for reading my post.

Thank you very much Svet for your timely response. I seriously thought my question would be ignored for god knows how long. It really makes me feel much better now knowing someone's trying to help
I will try get hold of a new power supply tomorrow. Does it have to be more powerful than 680w?
You should looks to be quality PSU and to look for amperes at +12V and to be a single rail[if possible]

U430 stucked at Lenovo screen, BIOS won't start either

Hi, I have IdeaPad u430 touch, six monts old. I had some blue screens in the past, I cleaned all possible viruses and diagnosed hard disc with no results. Laptop was running smooth until now.
I shut it down last night and today it restarted itself couple times and then I wasn't able to start it at all. It gets stuck at Lenovo screen, no Windows loading circle/dots.., I can't access BIOS or anything else through the novo button, it just gives me the Lenovo screen again. F2 does not work either.
I also noticed that when I tried to install updates it wouldn't do anything just spinned the Windows buisy icon for a while, if that can be any clue.
I haven't removed the battery yet, as it is under cover which needs to be unscrewed. The computer is still under warranty. I'm not sure if opening the cover wouldn't viod the warranty. I'm not impressed, my boyfriends IdeaPad has been good for six years
Any suggestions on how to boot the computer again or what's wrong with it? I'm totally done today, tomorrow I'm calling support, but I'm not sure how they can be helpful, if the computer won't boot at all...
