MSI K9VGM-V Boot Issues

Well I am scratching my head on this one....
So I recently replaced Gigabyte K8 S754 board with an MSI K9VGM-V, A64 X2 4000+, and 2x1GB AData Dual channel memory kit. Both boards are based on Via chipset (MSI = VIA K8M890 and VT8237A; Gigabyte = VIA K8M800 and VT8237) so I assumed that there would be no issues with the OS.
Basically, it will boot, POST, and I can navigate thru and change BIOS settings all day long, but when the WinXP splash screen comes up it immediately reboots ...no errors messages just POST, Splash, Reboot never any farther. System is pretty basic as consists of following components:
Generic mATX case
TTGI 350W ATX PSU (P4/Athlon Ready, for whatever its worth...worked fine with A64 Clamhammer 3000+)
MSI MS-7235 v. 1.1 mainboard (BIOS dated 10/23/07)
A64 X2 Brisbane 4000+ Dual core 65W retail CPU
2 x 1GB ADATA dual channel PC26400 RAM kit
1 x 80GB Hitachi SATA HDD (first boot drive)
1 x 120GB WD1200JB ATA100 HDD
1 x floppy drive
1 x Liteon DVD/CDR-W
I consider myself a rather saavy technician and have tried to isolate by disconnecting everything but single SATA and nada. I suspect it is SATA driver related, but not sure how it could be given the old and new motherboard are based on practically same Via chipset.  Any tips/tricks would be appreciated.  Thanks!

I've found normally a repair of WinXP would do the trick. It's a bug in XP I think.
Vista doesn't have that problem!
Its not a bug XP was never designed to cope with such a different hardware changes, Vista has been designed to allow for this situation.

  • MSI P55 GD65 Booting issue [SOLVED]

    Hello everyone!
    I finished a new build two days ago:
    Intel i5-750, 2.66GHz
    MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.3, Lotes socket
    A-DATA 2x2GB DDR3 1600Mhz CL8 Vitesta Extreme Edition
    GIGABYTE ATi R5850 1GB
    KINGSTON V-series SSD 64GB SATA
    SAMSUNG SpinPoint F3 500GB SATA 7200rpm
    Artic Cooling Fusion 550, 550W, dc outputs are mentioned below
    and some minor components (optical drives, wifi card etc.)
    I started the computer and everything seemed fine. I managed to enter the bios. I was checking H/W monitor and several other options, I didn't change anything. Suddenly (after circa 5mins) the computer shut down and started to turning on and off repeatedly. I stopped the loop by turning off the power supply. I started it again, however it got stuck in the loop imediately. After a while I managed to access the bios again, meanwhile I was trying to find some answers on internet.
    I decided to remove all memory sticks (as a lot of topics here in forum which are describing the very same problem sign RAM problem) and started computer. I expected beeps and LED-show. However, the computer didn't start at all! Even fans were not spinning, just nothing (although PSU was giving tension). I put RAM back and computer started. It was like black magic. I tried again, remove RAM - no start, put RAM back - no start too. Mobo went definitely dead. So I RMAed it.
    I've obtained a new one, which was:
    MSI P55-GD65, rev. 1.0, BIOS 1.2, Foxconn socket
    I put all the stuff together and started computer. Everything went fine, I managed to enter the bios. Nevertheless, I decided to check RAMs for sure; I changed booting devices, restarted and booted system rescue cd with some utils. I started memcheck basic test. The basic test was fine with no errors, then I started filling with random pattern test. It ran for almost 24h. I wanted to try another exercise test and... computer shut down and the loop was there once AGAIN!
    I don't think the mobo is the issue here anymore. I bet on two things: PSU or RAM (I'm not going to think about CPU!)
    I don't recall exact dc ouputs but: AC Fusion has 2 12V rails with 17A each. Mobo needs 18A, but as I understand it, I have to check 2 rails combined against the requirement - 34A > 18A, it's okay, isn't it? I've choosen this one as I wanted silent PSU (it performed really good in tests, f.e.: http://www.anandtech.com/casecoolingpsus/showdoc.aspx?i=3516). I don't have any other similar PSU to swap (neither my friends).
    My suspicion is the problem is RAM incompatibility. My RAMs (AD31600E002GU2K) have 1.65-1.8V working voltage. Maybe the mobo sets auto settings badly (I'm not present at my computer now, I left for the weekend); they are not in QVL too (http://eu.msi.com/uploads/test_report/TR10_1846.pdf). The problem is I was not able to get into bios before I left. As I read on the internet, P55 is pretty touchy when it comes to RAM. I'm thinking about swapping them for Kingston 2x2GB 1333MHz DDR3 CL7 (http://www.valueram.com/datasheets/KHX1333C7D3K2_4GX.pdf; which are not in QVL either, but KHX1333C8D3K2_4GX are; only latency difference).
    Any advices on the whole problem?
    P.S.: I've tried CMOS clear on the former one too, no change. As I mention I went through the most of the gd65 booting issues posts here on MSI forum and several others.

    Do you think Corsair VX550 550W could do the job? It has a single rail with 41A on 12V. ATi certified Straightpower BQT E6-550W for 5850, which has 4 rails per 18A, but overall 41A too (http://www.be-quiet.net/be-quiet.net/data/media/_stories/216/sp_e6_550_EN.pdf).

  • Need a bios update for the MSI g45 gaming boot issue

    When i first start my system, I noticed that the board doesn't boot up correctly even if we set the main boot to be the hard disk. The system boot in the EUFI section not the hard disk. I had to use boot override function to choose the hard disk then the system will boot normaly to the hard disk. 

    This is a user to user forum. For any UEFI/BIOS modifications, MSI Technical needs to be informed. There are no UEFI/BIOS engineers here;
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107326.0  >> How To Contact MSI <<
    In the boot sub-section, disable the devices you don't want to boot in the BBS properties, then set the boot order to nothing but the HDD with the OS on it. If this doesn't resolve it, then the alternate workaround is exactly what you did with the Override.

  • MSi TwinFrozr 670GTX Boot Issues

    Greetings,
     I bought my 670 GTX Twin Frozr about 2 months ago and it worked fine with zero issues at all. Then 1 day out of the blue my computer would get stuck on the bios boot screen or a black screen with blinking cursor after the bios screen. After ripping apart my computer a number of times I finally figured out that it was my video card causing the boot issues. I could get it to work a couple of times by just rebooting my computer over and over and it would finally work but then that stopped working as well. I took the video card out of my tower and put it in my roomates and got the same result it worked fine for a couple of hours then it crashed the system and fried either his motherboard or something else because he could not get his computer to post to windows after that even with the video card out of his tower. I know that the power supplies are not a issue because both he and I have 600w PSU's. Do I have a defective card or whats going on here? I have never seen a video card fry a computer system to where it wouldnt boot at all. Also I did not overclock it at all.

    PSU brand and model?

    If you removed the RAM, can your system power up until you hear beeps? If not, there is a high suspicion that your system does not support the CPU??

  • MSI Z77 MPower - Boot issues (A2 debug code and more)

    Hey guys,
    I've been trying to get my new computer build working but I have encountered several issues when trying to boot the computer.
    Before putting everything inside my case, I tested the motherboard + CPU + 1 stick of ram to make sure everything was working. I had issues in the past where I had to remove everything once I had things mounted.
    Everything seemed to work and I got into the BIOS and looked like everything was good.
    I mounted it in the case with the same configuration and I was able to get into the BIOS again. So I thought everything must be ok.
    Fast forward a couple hours later after I finish plugging everything in, I try to turn it on but it just gets into this boot loop.
    Turn on > Fans spin for a couple seconds > turns off > repeat. This just kept going on and on and I wasn't exactly sure what was going on.
    I started to unplug components and when I only had the Mobo + CPU + 2 sticks of ram in I was able to get into the BIOS.
    I plugged things in one at a time and when I plugged in my SSD it would work.. but when I added another drive I would start getting the A2 Debug message on my board.
    I would continually get this A2 debug message and I am not sure what to do to get it to work.
    I have updated my BIOS to the latest ones and it is still not working.
    Could this be an issue with my PSU? I really hope it's not the MOBO..

    Quote
    I've tested it with one stick and 2 SSDs and it doesn't give me the A2 debug code.
    Do you have any different ram to test with?
    What ram exactly are you using?
    You may perhaps be able to set the ram timings in bios to JEDEC standard 9-9-9-24 1600 perhaps

    i have an odd problem. When i first turned it on, the HD was on the Promise Controller. tried installing XP, hit F6, ect, setup would not recognize HD. so i put it on the Via, disabled the promise, installed XP. computer reboots, POST's,  blank screen.
    tried several times, but each time after the Bios and raid stuff, i get a blank screen. now, if i try and reinstall XP, it hangs on the "Setup is checking your hardware configuration..." and just stays there. any ideas?

    18 is the minimum of what people recommend, but you should be ok.
    In BIOS make sure emulation and legacy USB are disable, and set USB ports to 8.

  • MSI KT4AV no boot issue

    I'm having a heck of a time getting my computer to boot back up I get 3 long beeps. This does not match anything I've found for codes. I went back in and installed the D-Bracket 4 LED diagnostic bracket.
    This "normally" should show 4 red LED's on boot up. I get 3. The number 1 LED is dead, nothing showing. It then goes to number 2 and 4 red and number 3 green. It stays there and goes through the 3 long beeps.
    Is it RAM or is it memory ???
    anyone know for sure ??

    Well, I was going to post all teh specs...but. I was getting pretty frustrated with it when I "re-set" the power switch on the back of the PWS. I'm running an ANTEC Sonata box and PWS. When I turned the switch off and on at the back I was able to boot up to a point.
    I had jumped the CMOS earlier thinking it was the problem. So I had to go back through and reset all the setup config...that done it works like a champ again....
    I had reset the Vcard and Memory, no help. I had a guy at a computer store tell me the 2 sticks X 256 were not compatiable and that was causing the trouble. He was a little perplexed when I told him it had ran like that for months....He did want me to bring the box in so he could fix it....wonder what that would have cost ?? I guess if you replace enough parts it will work...
    Bottom line : 3 lond beeps with a MSI KT4AV board VIA chipset and ANTEC PWS try turning it off and on at the back...worked for me.
    Never was able to find an actual listing for those 3 long beeps...

  • MSI X99S PLUS Boot Issue

    So I've got a... weird one? At least not something I've encountered before. Hopefully you all can help.
    My PC had been on a few days, decided to reboot and the computer wouldn't boot Windows. It went through all of the POST screens, just no windows. I get a blinking command line square. Can't type anything in. Try to restart again and select the correct boot disk just in case. Same thing except no blinking command line square.
    First thought is something happened with the MBR. No problem. Plug in a bootable Win7 USB to try and repair it or at worst reinstall Windows 7. Same issue. Try to manually select the boot disk again and same result. Black screens after POST.
    A bit frustrated by now, of course. I go into BIOS and see if there is anything messed up in there. Nothing looks weird but the issue keeps happening. Flip the BIOS switch thinking maybe somehow my BIOS got messed up. Same thing. Try to go into BIOS and it won't do it. Black screen soon after pressing DEL.
    Switch back to the original BIOS, same thing. BIOS won't load.
    I've reseated my vid card and M.2 drive. Pulled all but one stick of RAM. Haven't started unplugging devices yet. Hoping someone has some insight. Don't really want to tear down unless I have to send it in (hoping I don't).

    Try take out the battery for more than 5 secs with the power cord unplugged, then put it back in to clear cmos. Is the Plextor M6e, UEFI or legacy?? Also try set this under BIOS: Settings--Advanced--PCI Sybsystem Settings--M.2 PCH Strap [M.2 PCH PCIE].
    Plextor is the M.2 drive and set to Legacy. But I can't get it to boot from Windows USB key, either. So I don't think that's the issue.
    Cleared CMOS, same issue. Black screen after post, black screen when I try to enter BIOS. :(

    How many amps does that PSU supply on the 12V rail ?  
    I shall assume for now it is sufficient.
    Only insert one memory stick in the first slot closest to the CPU.
    Do a full CMOS clear: >>Clear CMOS Guide<<  Remove the CMOS battery as well during the process.
    Restart with only the one mem module and check again. Do you have another SATA cable to test with ? Use the one connected to your DVD drive currently and connect that to your HDD. You don't have to connect the DVD drive for now.
    How old is that HDD ?
    And don't forget to switch off the OC Genie when doing any fault tracing.

  • MSI K9VGM-V Skt AM2 & No boot

    Hello people
    I purchased an  MSI K9VGM-V Skt AM2 motherboard and a AMD Athlon 64  3200 Socket AM2.I installed all the appropriate parts by following the manuals and by wearing anti-static wristband to avoid Electrostatic discharge. When everything were in place, i powered on the pc and booted without any problems.For the First 5 minutes or so,i was in BIOS monitoring the CPU temperature, it was between 30-35 C. After that i formated my Hard drive and i installed Windows XP Prof.  When i finished i switch off the pc. The next morning problems started, when i power on the pc doesnt boot, the screen is black, the hard drive doesnt sound to spin at all, and there is no BIOS Beep noise at all. The only thing that indicates that the PC is on is the CPU fan that works.
    I tested PSU, Ram sticks, Graphics card,hard drives,in my other Desktop and all are in working conditions.
    My PC specifications are

    Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 03-August-07, 21:32:05
    It is very hard to kill a mobo, more often you buy them dead. Tedious, I know, but perhaps you should redo the installation? Making sure there are no spacers left unused between the motherboard and case, that all power cables are fastened, and such.
    The processor fan spinning is really a good sign, because that means power flows through the motherboard. Long line of thinking here, but it suggests the processor is alive too.
    The price normally reflects the quality and power of a PSU. Top brands are perhaps Enermax, Seasonic, PCPower&Cooling, Antec, and maybe Silverstone (but I think the latter is over-priced).
    the esiest way to *KILL* a motherboard is by installing cpu wrong, i killed a 754 board around 2 years ago 
    it fried! 

  • Boot issue: K8N Neo2 and MSI DR16-B!

    I found my problem, as my board didn't boot normally anymore.
    I forgot that I flashed the newest firmware to my new DR16, unplugging it solved my boot issue.
    Could someone help me out how to solve this? Can I get my old firmware back somehow?
    I liked this recorder somehow, was nice and silent. But: I'd rather keep the board than this recorder...

    Well yes
    I wanted to upgrade the recorder anyhow, so that wasn't the really big problem.
    As I couldn't find the problem with my machine, I exchanged the board first. The new one has a better power regulation, also my dealer exchanged it right away. No big deal also.
    But: As I found the board wasn't responsible, I exchanged my working PSU for the OCZ, which cost me ~150$... I could have saved that money...  

  • Msi k9vgm-v bad ram?

    I have msi k9vgm-v motherboard,and when i press start is makes short continuing beeps and it shows black screen
    ,i took everything apart cleaned it up cause it was full of dust,but still it has continuing beeps and again it doesn't start,i took the ram off started it with out the ram and it makes the same beeps and doesn't show anything on screen,is it a bad ram???Thank you very much

    vickgeo1981..
    Please give more information as asked by flobelix.
    That said... install one stick of memory. Clear your CMOS. Make sure your BIOS settings are correct, and retry to boot up. If that basic test does not work.. read the posting guide, and give us all your PC equipment specs.

  • MSI H81M-E33 BIOS Issues and Post Flash Issues

    Hello,
    My situation is as follows: (TL:DR at bottom)
    Built a new computer and decided to use the new LGA 1150 refreshed CPUs. Bought the MSI H81M-E33 Motherboard and installed windows. Noticed a problem with the rebooting even when installing windows. Thought it was just because of the windows installation, but problem persisted in which the computer seems to shut down but doesn't power down and i have to manually hold power button to power down and then push it again to start up. No real issues it seems since the computer does close processes and shut down but this was irritating me. I read online that BIOS updates seem to fix this problem. Did some research and decided to update with M-Flash to bios v6.6.
    As I used M-flash to update to BIOS (selected "Select one file to update BIOS and ME") v6.6 the update stops at 47% and then the computer attempts to restart. BUT it still has the same problem and does not power down. So I manually powered down and started it back up. I then got "no signal" even as I waited. Now I'm freaking out and I power it down again and try again. This time I wait and it get to BIOS (MSI Screen) and then no signal again (not booting windows). Again I hold power down and power back on. Long wait again and I get back to bios. Still freaked out at this point but relieved I didn't brick motherboard.
    Decide to flash v6.5 in case 6.6 was too new and might some problems. However v6.5 has the same problems; bios update stops at 47%, computer attempts to reboot, can't reboot, I power off, power on, no signal, power off, power on, wait a while and it gets to BIOS (MSI Screen), then boots to windows.
    Right now the bios does read the bios version as v6.5 but I still have the issues in restarting where that doesn't really work. In addition, I now have this wait from pushing the power button to when I see BIOS (MSI Screen).
    TL:DR
    Had reboot problems decided to update BIOS
    Used M-flash ("Select one file to update BIOS and ME") to update to v6.6
    Update stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time nothing, freaked out, powered off, powered on, waited a while got to bios (Whew), checked for new version (it is).
    Decided v6.6 might be too new decided to try v6.5 used M-Flash again
    Again stopped at 47%, computer attempted to reboot, got no signal (reboot problem), powered off, powered on, waited a long time, nothing, powered off powered on, waited a while got to bios, checked bios for new version (it is), save and exit, no signal, power off, power on, waited a while got to bios, then booted into windows
    My concerns are;
    I seem to still have reboot issue.
    I have to wait for BIOS now, no longer pretty quick start.
    My questions are;
    Did I mess up the flashing somewhere?
    Was stopping at 47% normal?
    Should I try to update the BIOS another method to fix my current problems?
    Am I missing a step somewhere?
    Any help is appreciated, I just got really freaked out by the whole process but I'm just glad the computer still works (kinda).
    Thanks in advance for any help, and apologies on the long essay just wanted to be as specific as possible.

    I have not configured any of the Intel Management and Security, Small Business Advantage, Smart Connect software, just installed them.
    The issues I get are:
    1. JUSB1 connected and Resume From S3/S4/S5 by USB Device: Enabled in BIOS. When I shutdown the PC, it automatically boots 2-3 seconds later. If I set Resume From S3/S4/S5 by USB Device: Disabled or disconnect the JUSB1, the PC shutdown is fine.
    2. Once the PC is shutdown OK, PC boots itself several hours later. Yesterday at 15:50pm PC was shutdown. At 21:18pm, PC automatically booted itself.
    This is my first MSI and UEFI motherboard. What I would like is some advice on setting up the BIOS and the software to get sleep/hibernate working and no automatic boots.
    I have contacted MSI regarding these issues, but they say they cannot reproduce them. I have subsequently googled these issues and of course, other MSI users are experiencing similar problems, but there are no obvious resolutions. Please can anyone help/advise?

    Hi,
    I have the MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming mobo and perhaps similar problem as discussed in this thread.
    I wanted to be able to wake my PC from sleep mode via my USB connected mouse and keyboard. Therefore I went into BIOS and set the "Resume from S3/S4/S5 by USB Device" to "Enabled". And yes, now it is possible to wake my PC from sleep mode by just clicking any button on my keyboard or just moving my mouse a little bit. So far so good. BUT, another feature was also added which I did not want to have: By just clicking any button on my keyboard or moving my mouse a little bit the PC also started after I have "shut it down"! This could seem as the PC boot by itself but it does not, I have to move the mouse just a little bit (by accident for example when needing more space on my desk) or clicking a button on the keyboard. I THINK THE ROOT CAUSE TO THIS PROBLEM IS AS FOLLOWS: In BIOS, it says "Resume from S3/S4/S5 by USB Device". Instead it should only be "Resume from S3 by USB Device". S3 is the same as "Sleep" and S5 is the same as "Soft off" = PC shutdown. Do you understand what I mean? When I shut down my PC it is put into state “S5”. (NOTE: I have another PC with MSI Z77-GD65 and here it only says "Resume from S3 by USB Device" and no problem with any starting of that PC via USB device from a shutdown state, it only starts from the sleep state (=”S3”) as I want. How do I get rid of the "S5" state in BIOS for this USB wake up feature? (Btw "S4" is hibernate state which is not the same as a shutdown PC, therefore not causing this problem.)
    ADDED No. 1: Please read msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa373229(v=vs.85).aspx for explanation of the different system Power states I mention above.
    ADDED No. 2: My Click BIOS version is 1.8 for Z87-GD65 with release date 2013-12-06. On a Youtube video I have seen that version 1.0 of this BIOS has Wake up "Resume from S3 by USB Device" and not ...S3/S4/S5...
