MSI P7N2 Diamond won't boot

hi,
My P7N2 Diamond won't boot. when i first tested it at my friend's house, the problem already occurred. but i was not sure if it was complete bricked because the processor we used was listed supported only under the new bios.
so i brought it home and tried it with an older processor, the E6300 . still no luck.
one thing i noticed, every time i power up the board, the hdd_led, power_led, and standy_led are turned on all together. BUT, i have no HDD attached....
what could possibly wrong with my motherboard? btw, the memory i used is a Kingston DDR3 kvr133303n9/2g
any advice/help will do. thanks

Yes it's barebone setup. just proc , mem, vid card, psu, ps2 keyboard.
out of the pc case too?

Yes it worked before but i am unsure what setup was before. a friend gave this to me. just upgraded to i5 so he gave it to me.
worked before with what parts? what is changed?

P7N2 Diamond won't boot. Any troubleshooting possible?

Hello,
I have the following set up:
P7N2 Diamond | Core 2 quad Q9450 | MSI geforce 280 Super-OC | Corsair TWIN3X 1333MHz DDR3 4GB
The system was working fine for a month, today Windows was running a bit slow so I've rebooted the PC. It could never boot again.
When I switch it on the screen stays black.
- I have reseted the CMOS with power cable unplugged
Upon start up:
- All appropriate LED's light Blue, Power LED lights Red
- Graphics card showing Green light inside
- Graphics card cooler fan starts up
- No LEDs light on the keyboard
- I've unplugged all SATA and USB cables, unplugged keyboard/mouse and network, taken out the sound card
- The screen still stays black
As I've bought this gear in an online shop it's very akward to send all parts back to them.
I need your expert advice on where the problem might be and more importantly as I don't have any spare parts..
is there any further troubleshooting I can do? Do you think it's the motherboard or the CPU or something else?
How do I find out without any indications from the motherboard (old motherboards used to bip)?
Thank you very much in advance.

Except that GTX 280 (already overclocked), did you overclock anything else?
In any case, you need to borrow another PSU and another (nVidia) graphics card first of all.
cheers
Yes, i run my Q9450 2.66GHZ at 3.4GHz at Vcore +0.125V
I mean the system was working fine for 1 month, no problems at all and then just suddenly died, all LED's and indicators light Blue and Green, does this not imply that the power is OK?!
Is there anyway to tell which component is faulty, like a dead CPU? I don't have a speaker in the case so I can't hear any bips.
It's also not possible to borrow any spare parts from anywhere :( it really sucks

If it really was 2.64V on the +12V rail, your MOBO wouldn't even post. That reading is a wrong reading. What are you using to check the voltages? What is shown in the BIOS?
i really had serious problems .Two A..S Striker 2 Extreme down ,2 MSI P7N2 diamond mobo down {[3 x ( start,5sec -> freze)] and no post anymore} And suddenly the third P7N2 Diamond working.
Nothing changed. How to explain this?

P7N2 Diamond won't post

Hey there,
Just bought a new rig. Worked fine for about an hour, til I started getting bluescreens related to nvgts.sys and then when I tried to start it up the next day it wouldn't post. Tried a different graphics card, different RAM combinations, sometimes I'd get 3 long beeps, most of the time I'd get nothing. Also tried clearing the CMOS a few times. No dice. The parts look like this:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550
PSU: 800W Tagan
HD: 750 GB Maxtor
RAM: 4GB CorsairTwinX
MoBo: MSI P7N2 DIAMOND
GPU: 512MB EVGA 9800GTX+
Anybody got any ideas?

Try with just one memory stick also Clear CMOS again.{Don't forgot to remove power cord from the PSU 1st}

MSI P7N2 Diamond with 9450... Questions!

I passed from an EVGA 790i Ultra to a MSI P7N2 Diamond (Same Chipset but the MSI is far more stable).
I would like to set my Q9450 to 3.2GHz. I was at 3.2 on my Evga.
I was wondering if one of you has some bios settings for this frequency on the P7N2? (core voltable, MCP voltage, etc)

Quote from: titom91 on 21-August-08, 19:40:45
No, Those values where when I was on a EVGA 790i Ultra... And the 1.3625V was because the system was lowering the Voltage on the cores... What i mean is that when you were setting for example 1.3V, the system was set at a lower voltage and when the system was not idle anymore, the cores couldn't reach the voltage they needed (the voltage set and the maximum voltage possible where not the same).
I am currently on overclocking my MSI board... I just got the ram stable at 1600 and atacking on the CPU...
What i wanted by setting this post is to know what range of voltages and frequencies people who had the same setup were having... to compare when done...
I know the voltage drops, vdroop, but 1.3625 is mental all the same. Mine's at about 1.32 for 3.4Ghz, and I can run it at much lower voltages for 3.2
What voltages/settings have you tried with the MSI board? And my board runs fine at 400fsb, if you want to see if there's an fsb hole just drop down to 395 (1580qdr) or something.

P7N2 diamond does not boot with q9450

I cannot get my new P7N2 diamond to boot, i am using
q9450 cpu
2x2gb corsair xms 3 dhx (dual channel in blue slots)
BFG 9800 GTX
2X 500 Maxtor sata 2 HD
2xIDE liteon lightscribe DVDR
600 watt noisetaker enermax power supply
It turns on but there is no bios beep.Can hear the noise of the drives spinning up, powering up everything, lights on motherboard are lit and fans spin, but the monitor is not showing any bios reading. I have tried running one stick of ram, resetting cmos, check all cables and plugs, but it just wont post. Could the bios be too early to recognise the intel q9450, otherwise any help would be appreciated.

Wow. You either build lots of systems, or your expectations are pretty low. 'A fact of system building' should only apply to large OEMs not the home builder doing a like a build a year. That would be a pretty high rate of failure that any manufacturer should be embarrassed by.
I'm curious as an employee of Intel how many folks have had issues with Intel branded boards? I know that we tend to build systems that are less enthusiast-friendly than other manufacturers, but if it's enthusiast-friendly and doesn't work what good is it?
I have built loads of systems and I still do. I've had my share of doa hardware. It's not an everyday occurance but it happens. A build a year? I've built 8 so far this year and of those I've had one no post mobo (XFX 790i), a bad ram kit, 1 vid card with memory artifacting, a Q9550 (oem) that died a sudden death during testing, and a failed psu. That last item was my fault for skimping. I just know it happens and I don't waste time stressing about it, I rma and get on with it. I like happy endings so I don't sit in the problem, I resolve it. How many folks have had issues with intel branded boards? I'm not sure where you're going with this but I'm guessing intel's numbers aren't much different than MSI's or anyone else's when it comes to percentages. Like any other manufacturing process, it's a given that there will be faulty parts shipped.

MSI X99S XPOWER won't boot after a Windows 8.1 Update

Hi all, two days ago I was using my PC as normally and Windows needed to restart because of an update from Windows Update. It restarted and won't be able to boot again. I get a 04 debug code (Power on South Bridge Initialization) and I've tried clearing CMOS, without SSD/HDD... and there is no way.
I'm reading something about an Intel drivers update that can modify the firmware, do you know anything about it?
Board: MSI X99S XPOWER
Bios: Version 1.4
VGA: MATRIX GTX 780Ti
PSU: Enermax Platimax 850W
Intel Core i7 5820K
MEM: G.Skill 32GB in 4 sticks (8 GB each) @2400 MHz XMP
HDD: OCZ Vertex 450 256GB
COOLER: Akasa Venom Vodoo
OC: 4 GHz 1.15v
OS: Windows 8.1 x64
Thanks

Windows is not corrupted, I've tried that SSD on another computer without problems and in my computer without HDD/SSD and won't boot anyway.
If I'm able to boot with the secondary BIOS, I'll recover the first one by the following steps:
Quote
BIOS recovery with AFUDOS command
When BIOS updating fails or causes the computer non-bootable, you can recover the
failed BIOS by the steps below.
Preparation:
1. Prepare a bootable USB flash drive.
2. Download the latest BIOS file from the MSI official website at www.msi.com, and
then decompress the file.
3. Copy the AFUDE238.exe and the BIOS file to the bootable USB flash drive
BIOS recovery steps:
1. Power off the computer.
2. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the functional BIOS ROM.
3. Insert the bootable USB flash drive you have made to the USB port.
4. Boot the computer into the bootable USB flash drive.
5. Set the Multi-BIOS switch to the failed BIOS ROM.
6. Execute the below command to flash the BIOS:
For example: AFUDE238 EXXXXIMS.XXX
7. Restart the computer after the BIOS flashing is complete.
Important
Do not use the Multi-BIOS switch when system is booting up.
But I have a doubt with the "Important" note because I need to change from safe BIOS to failed BIOS with the PC booted, right? So I'll use the Multi-BIOS switch with the system up...
Thanks a lot

MSI P7N2 diamond M/B stuck on the m/b flash screen on start up.

Hi, my problem is that my motherboard (p7n2 diamond) is staying on the screen that is supposed to come up for about 3 seconds on start up, it wont let me get into the bios or anything, because my keyboards aren't working with it for some reason. Ive tried both usb and ps2 keyboards, neither work. I am pretty sure that i have connected all the internal cables correctly. If anyone could give me any suggestions to why its not working, or even how to fix it, would be appreciated. Thanks.

MSI A75MA-G55 won't boot sometimes

Hello,
My system specs:
MSI A75MA-G55
AMD Llano A8-3850
Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C83
Corsair Builder CX430 V2
My system sometimes boots and sometimes not.
Memtest has run a whole night without errors.
Al settings on manual won't help.
Having only one RAM module on the board didn't help.
It looks like the mobo and the RAM aren't broken.
Is it not compatible or what?
I can't update the BIOS because it hangs on making a backup.

MSI GTX560TI SLI won't boot into Windows.

So I got my second MSI GTX560TI Twin Frozr II today, and I was really looking forward to some SLI action, but when I set up both cards, I can't get past the first screen that tells me to press F8 to go to BIOS. I can't access Windows Security Mode or anything, only BIOS. After that it reboots and does the same for an endless loop.
I can confirm that both cards are working as I have tried them both. It's not a defect powercable either, as I have tried all of them on one GPU and they seem to work fine.
I have also tried the bottom PCIE slot, and it works as well.
Any ideas on what might be wrong?
The rest of my specs: (Copypasta from another forum)
[OS: Win7 x64 Ult] [CPU: Intel I52500k] [MOBO: Asus Maximus IV GENE-Z] [RAM: Corsair Dominator 4GB]
[GPU: MSI GTX560Ti TwinFrozr II] [SSD: Crucial C300 60GB] [CASE: Fractal Design ARC Mini]
Also, to confirm that the two GPUs are infact the same, I took these screens from nVidia control panel:
I can see that the Video BIOS is not the same. Could this cause any problems?
Also, when using ROG connect to read the post codes, the last thing it says before rebooting is something about loading VGA BIOS. What to do guys?

Quote from: Svet on 26-September-12, 08:17:59
tell S/N of both cards and save both vbioses from each one of them, upload them somewhere and give a link to it.
Where can I find the S/N on the card? One of them has a sticker on the PCB with the S/N on it, but I must have removed it from the other one. I'll save the vbios once I get home and upload them here.
Quote from: xmad on 26-September-12, 09:22:49
What psu do you have as well? Please include 12v rail ratings or a link to it.
>>Posting Guide<<
I have a Silver Power SP-SS750W. I don't really know what 12v rali ratings are, but I guess you can find it in this review:
EDIT: Since I can't post external links for some reason, just Google "Silver Power SP-SS750M 750w Review" and the reviews should be right there.
Could it be the PSU that won't power both cards? Should I try to power the second card with an external PSU?
Thanks for all the help guys, I really appreciate it!

Msi G41M-P25 won't boot

Hi everyone,
I just bought a new mother board and processor, installed win7 rebooted several times, then next day I couldn't boot it up. No post , nothing. Screen dead.
The board is MSI G41M-P25, processors E6500.
product page: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=2014
I tried, resetting the bios, switching psu, memory modules etc. but no result. I even tried with a new bios battery.
I read some had problems with this board, some even were DOA.
On some other forum, somebody had a problem that his bios didn't support its newer cpu. So they used an older cpu to update the bios.
But mine woked a day befote :(
At one pointe when i was intalling win 7, the bios reset istself, had to set time and date.
Any idea what can i do, or try before I send back the board?
Also the cpus fsb is 1066(266) should I set the switches on the easy oc to 200->266?

Update: I tried with my q6600 cpu, it started, booted into windows, then tried flash the bios, its asked for restart then , dead. No more life sign. No matter what which cpu i use. I never seen anything like this. This is my first Msi product, not a very lucky start :((

MSI X99S MPOWER won't boot (Debug 00) after installing Transcend 256 M.2 SSD

Hey all, as the subject suggests I bought a new MSI X99S Mpower mobo. I put together a new system with it without any problems using my old SSD. I received a new M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) once I installed it the system would no longer boot. I removed the M.2 SSD and the unit will now still not boot. I power on and the LED just displays 00.

what bios version you are using?
can you list the exact M.2 SSD (Transcend 256 GB) mode/part number?

P7N Diamond won't boot with new Intel Q9400

Hi
I recently bought a new Intel Q9400 CPU to replace my old Q9450 that was broken and causing the computer to freeze. I tried to install the new Q9400 CPU and the computer would not boot. The red LED on the mobo was on. When I pressed the on button the fans span for about half a second but then stopped and the machine shut down. I have replaced it with a firend's E8400 and it boots fine again.
Before I installed the Q9400 I flashed the BIOS to v1.4 so I was confident that it would work but it didn't. After it didn't work I cleared the CMOS and it still didn't work.
Is there a compatibility issue with P7N Diamond and this CPU? My mobo is revision 1.0, does this make a difference? If not then I suppose the CPU must have been DOA and I'll need to RMA it.
Thanks,
Jim

...replace my old Q9450 that was broken and causing the computer to freeze.
Very unusual for a CPU to become "broken"--more likely the PC developed another problem? I'd test the 9450 on another system too if I were you.
