MSI P7N SLI-FI No post, nothing

Hi,
I got all of the components for the new PC and put them all together. I've checked up all of the connections to make sure all of them are connected properly, i.e., power cables, connections to various components such as video card, hard drive, dvd drive, CPU, CPU fan, case fan, ect...
When I plugged in the computer, nothing was happen. I see that a little red light next to the power setting cable (connecting the power on button from the case to the motherboard) was on.
Aside from this, nothing was really on.
Could someone please let me know what's happened and what have I done wrong?
The components are:
Case - Antec Sonata III 500
Motherboard - MSI P7N SLI-FI
CPU - Intel Dual Core E7200
CPU Fan - Zalman CNPS9700 NT
RAM - 4 GiG Cosair PC6400 (800Mhz)
Video Card - e Geforce 9600 GT SSC edition (what is SSC edition??? - Please let me know what is it and if it is compatible with the motherboard)
Hard Drive - Western Digital (Sata interface)
DVD - Liteon (EDI interface)

Have you tried with different and better PSU yet?
Also re seat the CPU and check CPU socket for bent pins.
I checked twice, it's good. thanks!
Thanks to all of your help!
I brought it back to Fry's (the store) to have it diagnost, it's confirmed that this mobo was DOA. I try to exchange for another motherboard and tested there. It's also DOA.
MSI mobo is really suck!

MSI P7N SLI Platinum - no POST, how to use Floppy BIOS upgrade

Component Summary:
MOBO: MSI P7N SLI Platinum LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI ATX, BIOS ver 1.1 (A7380NMS V1.1 022508)

PSU: Thermaltake Purepower W0129RU 600 W ATX12V SLI Ready
Same problem is occurring as outlined in the following threads:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=119615.0
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=120513.0
I've carried out the same out-of-box tests indicated in 119615.0 without success.
Question:
Is it possible to force the existing system to boot to the FDD where the BIOS upgrade (v 1.2) would be stored ready for use? If yes, kindly outline the necessary steps to be carried out and please point me to the correct BIOS upgrade link for this configuration. If all else fails, MOBO can be exchanged but if BIOS can be upgraded via this method, I prefer this approach. I don't have access to an alternative CPU, so that approach is far less than ideal. Thanks for your assistance.

Is it possible to force the existing system to boot to the FDD where the BIOS upgrade (v 1.2) would be stored ready for use?
Yes, in theory it is possible to try an AMI BIOS Recovery Flash. However, in case their are other problems that are not visible because of the current problem, it is rather risky. If there is a memory problem or something similar that is currently undetected, the system may crash during flashing and your board will be rendered useless.

f yes, kindly outline the necessary steps
What you need:
- you need an internal floppy drive (properly connected to the board and 100% intact)
- you need an empty & formated floppy disk (make sure you check it for errors before you use it)
- you need a PS/2 Keyboard
What you have to do:
- download the latest BIOS-Archive file from here:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1373
- extract the BIOS File (e.g. A7380NMS.120), rename it to AMIBOOT.ROM [not AMIBOOT.120.ROM] and copy it to the floppy disk
- insert the prepared floppy disk into the floppy drive attached to the P7N SLI Platinum and Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU
- start the system and hit CTRL + HOME to force the system into recovery mode
If that does not work, try a different floppy drive & disk. Don't complain is the system crashes during flashing if the recovery flash starts (system stability is your responsibility).
If you can't get the recovery routine to start and read the AMIBOOT.ROM file from the floppy disk, you need to install a supported processor.

MSI P7N SLI Platinum CPU Power Socket

I have a MSI P7N SLI Platinum and I just noticed I dont have a 8pin power plug on my ATX PSU ( this PSU is in my AMD rig)
I've just had a go of trying out my MSI P7N SLI Platinum board as a computer shop said just insert the 4 pin plug you used on your AMD board near the CPU..
I questioned him about it leaving 4 sockets bare, he said it would be fine..
Well I've tried booting up the rig and I get nothing on the screen (No Signal ) checked all sockets (graphics card, cpu)
I do get a little red and blue light on the board and the CPU fan and graphics fan are running fine,, but no signal...
I'm using a Intel Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz Processor Socket 775 which I know is fine,,,
Any views on this "you can use a 4pin plug on the 8pin CPU power socket " ?
Could this be the reason my rig is not booting ?
THanks

"Any views on this "you can use a 4pin plug on the 8pin CPU power socket " ?"
Yes you can. Make sure that 4pin cable is connected properly at correct side of 8pin socket.
"Could this be the reason my rig is not booting ?"
Nop. You can plug 8pin CPU cable if you want to test opposite Should boot with both 4 or 8.

MSI P7N SLI - PC Wont Boot - Video error code but changing graphics card no help

((Apologies, I think this should be in the forum for Intel Core 2 Duo/Quad boards))
Hi. Brief description of the issue.
Last Saturday there was fan noise. I ignored that, left the machine on, went out. By Sunday morning the machine had turned itself off. I opened it up, identified the problem as the graphics card fan, failed to fix but put the PC back on figuring I'd have to see about a new card soonish.
Later on it had turned itself off again. Got to bios with a system32 config error. I figured that was why it'd been shutting off and went through the long process of manual recovery from that. Turned the computer on, all good, played games.
Until I thought to check the GFX temp... 133 degrees Celcius. Turned it off right away, ordered replacement card - which has now arrived.
But the machine won't boot at all. I get one long tone then two short. This is the same with both the old and the new cards. Blue light comes on, all the fans come on, then the beeps.
But the 'long' isn't long like if it was a RAM issue. I'm googling AMI bios post codes and seeing 1 long + 2 short is a video error, but also that '3 beeps' is a memory problem.
I've swapped my RAM sticks around and tried each stick individually and get the same beep code.
I've reset the CMOS by holding in the button on the back for 5 seconds, with the power cable unplugged and after discharging the capacitors.
The only other suggestions I've found is that it could be a failure of the PSU to power the card. But it should be giving ample power.
Now I am stuck for ideas.
MSI P7N SLI, MS-7380
Intel Q6600
Antec Neopower Blue Modular PSU
Zotac 8800GT [OR Asus GTX 260 212]
OCZ Platinum 2GB (2*1) DDR2 800
Western Digital HDD
LiteOn DVD Rom
Windows XP

With a 94000GT (no power connector from PSU) the machine is now running.
But there's still a problem somewhere (and that's a pretty poor graphics card I don't want to be stuck with) so I'm still keen to find out what to do, or what's wrong.
My 650W Antec with 2 12 volt rails should have no issues powering the other cards.

P7N SLI-FI, No POST no Video

Before I begin, specs:
500W EarthWatts Antec Power supply
x2 1GB 800Mhz DDR2 Patriot Memory PC2-6400
PNY GeForce 8800GT 512MB DDR3
Intel Core2Duo 3.0 Ghz, E8400, 6MB L2 Cache, 1333 MHz FSB, 45 nm
MSI P7N SLI-FI, Nvidia 750i SLI supporting DDR2
If I missed something you'd like to see I'll throw it in but I think that should be all that is needed. So the problem lies in that once I set up everything, and power on, I've no video but a blank screen to look at. The graphics card was sitting in the mazarine PCIE slot. I also tried using an ATI X300 card that is in my current working machine and placed it into the last of the PCIE slots that don't support PCIE 2.0 like the mazarine does. I find that I still have no video. My memory sticks are placed in the 1 and 3 slots as listed in the manual. I receive no POST beeps either. The GeForce 8800 GT does have a problem with PCIE 1a slots and produces a problem similar to what I have now: no video. However this shouldn't be able to be the problem as the card and the PCIE slot I placed it in are both 2.0 compatible. I'm checking all parts more than once just to be sure.
Anyone have any ideas? I'm open to suggestions, anything from highly technical to flying monkeys.

Have you connected power cable for the CPU:
"PNY GeForce 8800GT 512MB DDR3"
Have you connected power cable from PSU to the VGA too?
"x2 1GB 800Mhz DDR2 Patriot Memory PC2-6400"
Have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< {With power cord removed}
And with one memory stick only in a 1st DIMM?
"I also tried using an ATI X300 card that is in my current working machine and placed it into the last of the PCIE slots that don't support PCIE 2.0 like the mazarine does. I find that I still have no video. "
Use the same PCI-E slot, e.g. the 1st one PCI-E. It should boot.
"500W EarthWatts Antec Power supply"
List amperes per each rail, example in my signature.
Also have you tried:
Test the motherboard outside of the case to verify that the motherboard is not shorting to the case and causing a problem
   •    With only the CPU and heat sink, memory, and video card (or onboard video) connected to the motherboard, place the motherboard on a non-conductive surface and retest the motherboard
   •    Check the case mounting standoffs to verify that they are lining up correctly with the mounting holes on the motherboard.
"Intel Core2Duo 3.0 Ghz, E8400, 6MB L2 Cache, 1333 MHz FSB, 45 nm"
Re seat the CPU as well.
Also inspect CPU socket for bent-ed pins.
"Intel Core2Duo 3.0 Ghz, E8400, 6MB L2 Cache, 1333 MHz FSB, 45 nm"
Which one you have?:

Somebody had luck to overclock Q9300 on P7N-SLI Platinum ? please post info

Try with mem settings auto and only adjust Vdimm to vendorspecs.
Did you try BIOS V1.1 from MSI : http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=bios&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1373
This did solve some memory issues.
If so try, if you can, QVL memory and see if problem persists.
Hope this helps , good luck and keep us posted
Also be sure that your on manual and not linked, this will give problems too, when fsb divider gets higher then memory divider.
Furthermore, by using non qvl mem, the NB and fsb vtt are very depending on eachother.
I had the same with my board , the only difference with yours is the cirque pipe cooling and an extra chip for yorkfield support , but it is do-able

MSI P7N SLI Platinum

Hello,
I have a mainboard MSI P7N SLI Platinum that doesn't boot. I connected it out of the case, tried different CPU's, different PSU's, different graphic cards, different memory modules ... all without success. When I connect the PSU a red LED goes on, when I try to boot it a blue LED goes on and the CPU cooler starts turning, nothing else happens, no beeps, nothing on the monitor ...
I also tried downloading the latest bios, put it on a floppy and named it AMIBOOT.ROM, than connecting an internal floppy drive and press ctrl-home while powering on (found this hint on the forum). Nothing happens, nothing on monitor, no activity on floppy drive (even tried different floppy drives and cables )
Does anyone know something else I can try?

I had this same exact problem today. All seemed to work but nothing on monitor. I first thought my graphics card is the issue, but the fan was turning so i decided not to think that was it.
I had a dvi to vga adapter on the other end of the graphics card cable, so i was thinking if that was the issue. I changed the cable to dvi/dvi and WOW, it worked!!!
I dont know if this is the MSI mother board issue or my graphics card CLUB 3D 8800gt, but that fixed it and it has been on for 5 hours now.
But what i came here to ask was the on board LEDS. Is it normal to have RED and BLUE led?
The red led looks like it's a wrning of some kind but it comes on when you turn on the PSU. So is it ok to have these lighting?

DDR2-1250 is an overclocking rating. The memory modules should run fine @DDR2-800. Maybe you can stably overclock the modules to higher speeds, however, nobody can really guarantee you that those sticks will be able to operate @DDR2-1250 (625 MHz) on this board/chipset.

MSI P7N SLI-FI LGA 775 nForce 750i startup booting problems

Hi there!
My PC is about 1.5 years old.
Now last 3 weeks I'm having some frustrating problem when starting my PC.
Issue: my computer starts now only when there is 2 Gb total memory on motherboard.
If there´s 3 Gb or 4 Gb memory on motherboard, then I won´t even get a Bios startup screen.
(but i can see and heard that PSU and CPU fans are working)
I tried all memory modules on, separately using only one memory module. All memory modules and every slot seems to be ok.
I also try Memtest86 (with one memory module Separately) no errors found.
Motherboard PCI-E slots and graphics card are also ok.
(because my PC works like a charm when there´s only total 2 Gb memory on motherboard)
Why my PC only starts when there´s 2 Gb memory on motherboard?
Any help will be appreciated deeply!

I know the 7600GS doesn't recommend a PSU with a lot of power(15 - 17 A), but you're running two of them in SLI. Your PSU only has 18A on the +12V rail. This could very well be your issue. Below are some good single +12V rail PSUs, Corsairs and PC Power & Cooling. You can also look for Silverstone single rail PSUs, but they tend to be pricier. If you can't get anything other than split-rail, post back and we'll try to make some recommendations.

MSI P7n Sli-Fi + Q9650 OC issues

Alrighty, well i cant seem to get this combination stable here are the specs.
MB - msi p7n sli fi
CPU - q9650
RAM - 4gigs of Corsair Dominator pc-8500
Video - 2 Sli nvidia gts250
at 3ghz on average through Intel Burn Test the q9650 will pull 23gflops, when overclocked to 3.7ghz it will pull 27 this seems as a sign of instability. Battlefield Bad Company 2 will crash occasionally but it will pass 20passes of IBT and 5hours of prime95 blend.
settings for 3.7ghz (1666fsb x 9)
cpu vcore + .0250(2 ticks above 0) = 1.275-1.29v seems to have massive v-droop
Dram 833mhz voltage 1.95v 6-6-6-18 2t
what is it that is making the clock unstable, the board wont even post at 1600fsb 800mhz ram seems to be a FSB hole =\

I recommend you read the following guide. It may not be the same board, but it covers all the necessary angles to test your components individual capabilities.

Msi p7n sli platinum ram chips problem

ok i have a msi p7n sli platinum mother board, i've had it now for the past 2 - 3 years. I finally got around to upgrading the ram from 2xcorsair xms2 ddr2 1024mb ram chips to 2x corsair dominator 2048mb ram chips.
i have checked the motherboard specs the voltage and MHz arent a problem.
But when i use 2 of the new chips my computer wont load the boot screen a 10th of the time. When i use 1 of the new chips it runs all the time. I was thinking it maybe a problem with the bios, i have reset it several times to the correct voltage, as it doesnt automatically some times.
anyone have and idea what i can do to fix this.

Please give full system specs --> >>Posting Guide<<
Try running the RAM at 800MHz 5-5-5-15 1.8V 2T.

Sorry for Jumping around at the start, my mind tends to wounder a lot
MSI P7N SLI Platium (MS-7380 Version 1.0)
System was working, i hadnt changed any thing just gone!!
I dont get any beeps or any display, plugged in a head set as i know some motherboards talk to you just cant remember what board that was.
the system is naked but for CPU/RAM and a S3 PCI Trio 1Mb graphics card, its my dummy card that is so basic every thing works with it.
I used a POST HEX (sorry minds gone and i dont know what to call them)
I get the codes 1D 1B and 1C, i think this POST HEX card moves each stage along, so i guess its hanging on 1C
I then took out the Ram, got out a beeping sound for a bit and the POST HEX codes of FB FE and 08
i will put the S3 PCI Trio in to another system to make sure its alive and teh Monitor when i get back to it

That posting guide simply tells you to provide correct information of PC components such as PSU brand, model and amps for +12V rail(s), brand, model number, RAM how many modules used and a short clear description of your problem(s). No need to run off yet, just supply the requested info then we can get on with trying to help you.

Quote from: Bernhard on 13-August-11, 17:08:50
Recheck all your power connections. Does that VGA card have additional power connectors and if so did you connect the PCIe power connectors.
Did you do CMOS clear ? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
Do you have another PSU that you can test with.
i recheck power connections 100x , If VGA card dont have power connector - write message to display ? i clear cmos to 2-3 and don´t work .
psu tested in other computer and work. Why CPU is cold ? when i started next computer CPU in 5S have 30-35C
