MSI K72NG-ILSR won't even post

I just rebuilt my computer installing a MSI K7N2G - ILSR, XP2700 AMD, ATI 9500 with 128 DDR, Maxtor ATA133 20 gig HHD and SATA Raptor HHD. I have used 2100 DDR ram, 2700 DDR ram and 3300 DDR ram. I tried booting using the orginal install of XP Home and everything went well and it ran fine for two days except it would not install my 3.5 floppy drive oh well don't use them anyway. But my Dail up modem would not connect any faster than 9600. Than it crashed and rebooted. Than it crashed and wouldn't even post. It's just like I shut the power off and back on. I have a new Antec SL350 power supply. I am back to using my old Soltek board as the MSI will not work more than an hour or two. I was very disapointed in the MSI as I have built several computer and never had this kind of trouble before. If I know the motherboard wasn't at falt I would sell it on EBay.
    I was also disapointed that there where not more than two fan connections as my CPU fan needed two, power supply needed one plus the cheap chip set fan needed one.
    Also the S-Bracket would not fit in any of the PCI slots as it's plastic case would hit parts on the motherboard in every slot. The slot under VGA slot came the closest where a little tiny can hit there to. Leaving about 3/16 of an inch to go before I could place a screw in the bracket to hold it in.

After three weeks of just walking off before I throw it at the wall. Pulling everything out and putting it back and one crash after another, lock ups and no boots it had quit booting all togather. I let it set for about a week and reloaded all my old stuff in son's computer and loaded OS and everything else. Son's computer is up and running and is just as stable as it was in my case.
   Well today I took everything I didn't need to get the MSI up and running out plugged it in hit start botton nothing it wouldn't even post the Bois or the MSI splash screen. I was ready to unplug it and remember that I had bought a new CMOS Batt. I said to my self, "I've already tried everything else I could think of." The first couple of times I booted the MSI I had to reset the date & time and had said to a friend that I thought the CMOS battary was dead. He said no way it's brand new so even though I had bought one I didn't do anything with it.
   I pulled the battery out put in a new one. Old one was  a Panasonic CR2025 3V made in Indoneasa. I than hit the on botton and bang it's up and posting and everything worked. I than turned it off before loading windows and cleared the CMOS. Than rebotted check the basic setting in CMOS and loaded windows. I've spent most of today loading programs and updating programs. Still getting Floppy error 40, does anyone know what it means? Dirve lite on all the time.

  • [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.

  • [nForce] New motherboard not POSTing/booting (MSI K7N2GM2-ILSR)

    You peeps seem like a knowledgeable lot so should be able to help with my problem.
    I've just got a new motherboard (MSI K7N2GM2-ILSR) to replace my old one (which was a bit iffy in the USB department). I assembled the new motherboard and all the original components (excluding graphics card as my new motheboard has it built in) into the case and tried booting the machine. The bios and logos and so on came up on the screen but it wouldn't boot from the hard drive (probably some windows problem). I thought that a reinstall of windowsXP would fix it but I needed some data off the drive before I could continue. I then took all the components off the new motherboard (memory/processor/hd) and put them back on the old motherboard (which was working fine). When I hooked it all back up, the machine wouldn't even bring up the POST although it was getting power as the fans were going and the power LED was fine. The screen just never ever kicked in from standby. I took the harddrive to work and managed to get the data off it so returned home to put the components back on the new motherboard ready for the new windows install. Only when I turned it on I got the same problem as that with the original motherboard just tested (i.e. nothing came up on the screen, keyboard lights didn't flicker, had power but nothing resulted from it). Now I know it's not the monitor as I checked it worked with my laptop and I doubt it the graphics output as both the AGP card and the onboard graphics don't fire the monitor up.  And I doubt it's the PSU as it's ran the same processor and RAM on my old Asus motherboard.
    So does anyone know if this is a broken processor problem, damaged RAM problem or something else?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    "...How easy is it to damage a CPU..."  Without propper care, very easy. 1. When inserting it into Mobo's slot, it should go without any force. If you have to push it, most probably you have bended a pin.- 2. Installing HSF: Applying too much strength to fit it, can break it. ( A corner ) 3.- If installing HSF in wrong way ( HSF Low step shoud go over CPU base step ) it will prevent HSF to work properly because only a part of CPU die will make good contact with HSF base. 4.- Installing HSF without using thermal grease (thermal pad ) over CPU die. ( It will let some air between them, so die is isolated and CPU temp will rise too much). 5. If reinstalling HSF., without cleaning it's base and CPU die from all old thermal compound before adding new one. 6. Adding too much thermal compound, even more if it has silver component ( Can cause a short.) But I'm sure there can be some others.

  • MSI K8TM-ILSR RAM reported incorrectly

    Hello,
    Just bought an MSI-K8TM-ILSR motherboard and GeIL 512MB DDR400 (appears in the compatibility reports as being OK) - but when I boot up (with quick boot option disabled) the BIOS reports 256MB. Linux (MDK10) and WinXP also only report 256MB instead of 512MB. Checked the obvious: looked at the RAM stick to make sure it's 512MB... the manufacturer sticker says it is 512MB.
    Checked if there's a BIOS updated related to this - v1.5 said to correct a problem with RAM report after POST... but I already have that version of the BIOS.
    More details on my hardward:
    * Mainboard Details: MSI K8TM-ILSR (6741) , Version 1, BIOS version 1.5 (A6741VMS V1.5 101404)
    Note: my BIOS says its date is 14/10/2004 while the website says 20/10/2004 (but still it's v1.5)
    * CPU Details: AMD Sempron 3100+, Clock speed 1.8GHz, FSB 400MHz, Manufacturer code: SDA3100AXBOX
    * Memory Details: GeIL 512MB CL2.5 DDR400 Manufacturer Code: GE5123200B, Slot location: DDR1
    * Power Supply: ANTEC TruePower 430W
    * IDE Devices: Seagate Hard drive and Lite-On CD/RW and DVD
    * Other Devices: N/A
    Operating System: Linux and WinXP

    Just did what MSI tech support instructed me to do, i.e. change the AGP aperture which was intially set at 128MB (same as the memory on my AGP card) down to 64MB and lower but it made no difference. I tried up (even though that logically should make things worse), and no difference observed there either...
    Hope someone else finds a solution to this...

    I cannot get this thing to boot from a CD for the life of me.  I have tried using 4 different CD drives.  I have tried both IDE channels.  I have ran both drives jumperless.
    Bios recognises the drive.  I have Floppy, CDROM, HDD1 as the boot sequence.  I have tried switching the boot sequence around.
    I am completely stumped and extremely frustrated.  Somebody, please help me.  ANY advice would be appreciated, let's get this problem solved!

    thanks for pointing that out!
    the jumpers were in the wrong place.  i should have read the manual more in depth instead of being in a hurry.  i feel like such an idiot!
    everything seems to be running fine.  time will tell i guess.
    thanks everybody!

  • K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts

    K7N2 Delta ILSR won't turn off, just restarts.  Every time I click on "Turn off computer" in Windows XP, it shuts down, but restarts again. Could this be OS related, or perhaps Bios related. My other machine, almost identical to this one, except that the other machine has BIOS rev 7.6 and this one 7.2.

    PSUs seem to be yr favorite subject, but I'm afraid this time it's software. I experimented some more as the problem only occured after installing the Nvidia drivers. Comparing the system settings in the device manager before installing drivers and after installing them, reveils that the problem shows up when AGP HOST TO PCI BRIDGE is installed. When killing this item the PC shuts off properly. Unfortunately when turning back on, Windows automatically reinstalls the PCI bridge and I have the problem again. LOOKS LIKE A MSI SOFTWARE PROBLEM !
    By the way I have a PCI graphics board and not AGP in the failing PC (the good one has AGP graphics).
    Now what?

  • Firefox not responding. Have done all troubleshooting but still not working. It won't even open now. Help please.

    After going through all the troubleshooting suggestions and also uninstalling and re-installing Firefox, it still won't work. To begin with it was fading out and a 'not responding' notice appeared on the header, with the pointer turning to the timer but nothing was happening. It's been working well for ages and I haven't added anything or deleted anything recently, so can't understand why it should suddenly stop working.
    I've followed all the troubleshooting advice and disabled the plug ins, also removed a lot of the add ons, still didn't work. Then I uninstalled it and re-installed it.
    Now it won't even open. A window comes up saying it has crashed and giving me the option to re-start it or quit it. If I click re-start, it won't re-start.
    I've even started it in safe mode but that won't stay open either, it opens for about a minute then just closes.
    Please help, I really don't want to use any other search engine.

  • X6 errors, now it won't even start anymore

    Hei!
    I've had the X6 now for about a month and a half and while I was updating the software something went wrong. It couldn't reinstall the backup.
    Ever since that moment my phone has been doing weird stuff.. The touchscreen sometimes doesn't respond or just fades away and the phone restarts. 
    I get errormessages that the memorycard can't be found (I have the 32gb version) and properties disappear.
    Now the phone won't even start when I have my simcard inserted. It gives the error message 'Selftest failed, contact the reseller'.
    I can't do anything with it, the message disappears when I take out the battery but when I start it up again the same message appears.. 
    Who can help me? It's really urgent! 

    A hard reset (x6, 5800 and 5230 only) is done by the following (warning, this deletes all data on your phone):
    1.) Turn off the phone and remove battery for 5min
    2.) Reinsert battery
    3.) Press and hold the green, red and camera buttons. DO NOT LET GO.
    4.) While holding the three buttons, press the power key to boot the phone up.
    5.) Keep on pressing until you see the country selection screen.
    A correctly done hard reset would show you that everything on the phone (contacts, messages, calendar entries, etc) would be deleted. So it is advisable to back them up. Upon restoration, do not restore settings or files if possible.

  • Flashing eMachines BIOS - MSI K8TM ILSR

    I picked up this eMachines T6000 from work the other day and it has an MSI-K8TM ILSR motherboard.  I got the newest BIOS here, but is there any danger in flashing it since in every diagnostic I've run it says the board is "eMachines" and says nothing about MSI.  Also, the board itself has no SATA ports but according to the MSI specs it should have 2.  Just wondering if it's dangerous because it seems to be a specially made board for eMachines.  Thanks for the help
    - EM

    Also, really the reason I want to do this is to get rid of the "e" boot up splash screen and I can't find a BIOS option to disable it.  I was hoping that flashing to the newest bios would get rid of that ugly thing...and let me see the POST info so i can boot from cd

  • New Lumia 520 won't even Start!!!!

    Hi All,
    My roommate just received a Nokia Lumia 520 which he ordered online a couple of days ago.
    The thing is, the phone won't even boot up. The Nokia logo appears, stays, disappears for a few seconds and then gets back on again. 
    This has been going on for about 2.5 hours, which seems excessively long. We have tried the reset key-combo (Vol down + Lock), but I don't think there is anything to reset in this phone. My laptop was unable to install the driver for the device, reporting that the device was disconneted in between - my guess is its turning on and off again and again. 
    He called up the Nokia Care Hotline,and they said that the phone may take about 30-40 minutes to boot up the first time, but I think he was over-estimating, considering it took nowhere near as long for my Lumia 510 to boot up the first time. 
    Tough luck for the guy, but do you guys think there is something we can try to do for ourselves or do we have to get a replacement or something?
    Looking forward to your responses on this post,
    Thanks!

    OK... final bit of info for Paul and Rayhipkiss.
    While we are certain that this phone has a firmware defect, the Combo that Ray suggested is using an extra key. The actual key combo for restart the phone is Volume Down + Power.
    In order to reset the phone, which I did try on this particular one, you need to bring it into Reset mode. This is done using the Volume Down key on the rocker. When successful, you see an exclamation mark. Now, you press the following keys in the mentioned sequence:
    Vol Up + Vol Down + Power Key + Vol Down.  
    As the phone resets (Phone purges to Factory settings), two gears appear on the screen, rotating. 
    When done, the phone should have reset itself to normal. Unfortunately for this phone, SN=AFU.

  • K7N2G-ILSR won\\\\\\\'t run memtest at 133MHz fsb

    I've already sent an inquiry to MSI technical support but I'm posting here too.
    I've owned a DFI AD70 for 1 year running a 1.4GHz Thunderbird, but it has not worked right from the start with 1 DIMM slot being dead the whole time.  I bought the MSI board as my stability hasn't been perfect and the one game my wife likes to play with me, Age of Kings, crashes constantly during it. :(
    Here' the system I installed the ILSR board in:
    TigerPro 300 Watt Power Supply,
    Tekram DC390F SCSI controller
    Maxtor 40GB 7200 Hard Drive
    IBM 4.5GB SCSI Hard Drive
    SCSI ZIP Drive
    Plextor 40X12X20 IDE CD-RW
    NEC 32X SCSI CD-ROM
    BestData 56k (Rockwell) Modem
    2- 256MB Samsung PC2100 DIMMS
    I was using a soundblaster live, and Asus 6800 Geforce
    card in my DFI system.
    Everything worked well in install, but game Age of Kings was still not stable with MSI board.  Instead of crashing or rebooting it would just freeze.  After trying Windows 2000 service packs, and every patch I could find, I resorted to pulling out all my expansion cards and disconnecting all the drives but my Maxtor IDE and Floppy.  I also disabled everything but onboard video.  The game still froze.  Finally I tried underclocking the processor.  This worked well.  I could run the game as long as I was at 130MHz fsb or less.  At 133 it would always fail.
    Finally after scouring this message board I downloaded memtest-86 v 3.0.  I removed my maxtor hard drive so now I had only the bare motherboard and floppy installed.  I ran it at default settings and memtest froze 2 minutes into the test.  Then I gradually lowered fsb by 1 MHz until I could get it to run for hours at 128MHz (stability in Win 2000 was excellent at this setting too).  At 129 it would freeze.  The only other settings that worked were lowering clock multiplier to 8.0 and using 133 MHz bus.  It also runs fine at 133 MHz memory clock and 100MHz FSB.  I tried using my Asus video card without onboard video and same freezing problem.
    I also reinstalled my old DFI board, with just my video card and floppy and it ran memtest fine at 133MHz fsb, and the memory modules passed fine.
    I was hoping to just buy new RAM, but it works fines for me. There were never any errors reported during any memetest run ?(  Also of note I haven't flashed my BIOS if that matters.  Any ideas?

    3.3V 14A, 5V 30A, 12V 15A
    160W combined 3.3V, 5V
    The MSI utility says power output is 3.3V, 5V, and 11.70V when I'm running Windows.  Although I thought this was low, it runs fine on the old board.
    Temps run 52C CPU, system 32C after it has been running for several hours.
    I placed a large 21 inch oscillating fan facing straight into the side of my case on high speed, with the case open, and memtest actually failed quicker, but it dropped CPU temp to 51C, and system to 28C.  
    At 133 MHz, the BIOS is stable and so is Windows 2000, but most games will freeze eventually and Age of Kings right away.

  • ITunes 10.5.1 won't even open.. :(

    My iTunes was working a few days ago, now it won't even load. I downloaded it a few days after it was posted, nothing majorly wrong there. I haven't really downloaded anything else lately. It was working just a couple of days ago! What's wrong?! D:
    I've uninstalled everything iTunes, reinstalled it all- same problem. I really, really won't want to have to delete my whole library. I think that I'd cry if I did. Any ideas? :S :/

    Don't cry ;-)
    It's no problem!!! Do you always download iTunes from Apple? http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Have you installed any software some days ago? Espacially Anti-Spam may block it.
    Please one more time uninstall iTunes by the Windows settings. All your data should stay! Then install it new from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ and restart computer before opening iTunes. Does it now work?
