MSI X Power II Not Booting With 4930k Intel I7

Hey Guys, I have this annoying problem and I belive after doing a little research im not the only one. I get an Error on my LED Display on the motherboard FF. No display etc, How can I update the BIOS, but not getting a new I7 chip or taking it to an IT Specialist that can flash it as it will cost $$.
P.S - What does the FF on the indicator mean as i couldn't find answers anywhere? Thanks

I am having exactly the same problem with a brand new MSI xpower II not booting up with 4930K. I asked a local shop to flash the BIOS for me, but they only have a Xeon E5-2603. There are many Xeon E5 processors in the Supported CPU list, but 2603 is not listed. Does anyone know if this board supports E5 2603 ? Thanks for your advice!
If it is not in the MSI CPU Support List, then it is not supported, however, it may work just enough to perform a flash. This is not the case trying an Ivy-E CPU, as they are not supported for sure. A shop with an SPI flash programming device doesn't need a CPU installed at all.

X79A-GD65 (8D) will not boot with 4930K or 3930K

Short version:
My system will not boot but gets stuck at "09 Power on South Bridge Initialization"
Detailed description:
I just bought this system and am when I tried to start it it got stuck at "09 Power on South Bridge Initialization". I have removed everything that is not necessary (gfx-card, HDDs, etc.) and only have the CPU and one memory stick inserted (in slot 1 as per the manual). I have also unplugged and put back all power cables from the PSU several times. I have also tried using BIOS A and B.
As I read on this forum that a BIOS update was needed for IVY-Bridge CPUs I bought a 3930K today to see if I could get the system up and running but it still gives me the same error code.
My board serial number is 601-7760-010B1312109204, assuming it is manufactured 1312 = December 2013.
I don't know the BIOS revision as I have never managed to get past the 09 status code.
Any ideas on what the problem could be?
Bought this monster PC as I have a delivery for a client in need of some RAM-heavy processing, so am really starting to feel stressed out about this by now.
Thanks in advance!
System details:
- MSI X79A-GD65 (8D) X79 S-2011 ATX
- INTEL CORE I7 4930K 3.4GHZ 12MB S-2011
- INTEL 530 80GB SATA SSD MLC RESELLER KIT
- INTEL 530 480GB SATA SSD MLC BULK (4 of these)
- FRACTAL DESIGN INTEGRA R2 750W
- ASUS GEFORCE GT 210 1GB DDR3 PCI-E VGA/DVI/HDMI SILENT
- KINGSTON 64GB 1600MHZ DDR3 ECC REG CL11 DIMM (4X16GB) W/TS (two kits, 128GB in total, don't really need ECC but that's what I could find needing 16GB sticks)

even compared to just 10 years ago sales staff have became really dumb as there just hiring people who do not care about anything as long as they get there cut of a sale (usually all they know is basic Consumer parts they stock) and nearly non of them unless they specialize in that level of equipment will have 0 idea what they work with on a pro level part (ECC memory tends to be used on servers and Professional workstations so if they do not use that type of gear then they probably have no idea what ECC really is at all)!
also in that time some major things have happened especially with computer parts like the memory controller moved from the Chipset to the CPU same with the SATA controller , onboard GPU (thats now on the CPU and some have it some don't) and alot of other things and I guess that the people you dealed with had no idea the memory support has very little to do with the board (all the board can do is have BIOS Timing sets now and lists of parts it supports) and is now to do with the CPU alot more as it has the important stuff on it (there very close to a SOC (System On Chip) now)!
if you plan on building another computer remember to do some research yourself before you get a CPU as it is nearly the most important thing of all and they have different features tied to them and do not expect sales guys to have a idea unless there also a Technical support staff member too and work on computers that are of the same class your trying to make and have at least used the same level gear (usually if your doing something like that find a friend who is a computer nerd tell him what your trying to do and get him to help you choose all the parts)!
let me know how it goes when you get the Xeon and have it installed?

MSI 890FXA-GD70 - MB not booting with 8 pin power connected

Hello, and thanks for any assistance that can be provided:
current setup is:
MSI 890FXA-GD70
CORSAIR Professional Series AX1200 1200W ATX12V v2.31
AMD Phenom II X4 975 Black Edition Deneb 3.6GHz 4 x 512KB
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) (Currently 1 stick only in DIMM 1)
When i try booting the MB with both the 24 pin and 8 pin connectors in place, the power led flashes once and i get a click out of my power supply.
When i remove the 8 pin, the MB boots as normal. I've verified there are no extra spacers behind the board, and I have tried 2 different 8 pin cords, both were seated properly in the PSU and the MB.
I'm continuing to look back in the forums, just not seeing a solution. any ideas?

Hello and welcome!
Eight-pin? Are you sure? I can find a 4-pin. But then I'm old and it is late here.
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/890FXA-GD70.html#/?div=Manual
Oh, now I see the light! Only use the 4-pins - of the 8 - towards the top. The other 4 are covered normally.

MSI 945GT Speedster will not boot with Authentec Biometric/Fingerprint Reader

Has anybody else seen POST problems with USB devices attached? My 945GT Speedster-A4R systems will not POST when Authentec AES2501A Fingerprint readers are attached. I unplug the devices and the systems work fine. If I plug the devices in while the system is on, they work fine too and the drivers load.
For these sensors to be used properly, as user login devices, they really need to be present during startup. Plugging them in after startup is not really an option. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
James

First off, I appreciate the responses. I have some updates, but I still have the problem too...
MSI Tech Support gave me a beta BIOS to try, and it did not fix the problem (v1.2b5).
I have not completely pinned out the USB connectors, but I am only using the USB adapter that came with the motherboard. I am not using any "front panel" USB ports on the chassis. This motherboard ships with a 4 port USB adapter that takes up a PCI slot in the chassis. This adapter cables back to the two yellow USB headers on the motherboard. I would sincerely hope that MSI correctly matched the pinouts of the USB ports to the pinouts on the motherboard - the connectors are keyed and only go on one way.
I disabled "Boot to Other Devices." No help.
I also found another USB device that causes the same hang. I gave my kids Sandisk Sansa c250 MP3 players for Christmas. When these devices are plugged in hot, they work fine. If they are plugged in, and we boot or reboot the system, the machines lock up during POST, just like when the Biometric readers are attached. It is beggining to look like there is some serious USB compatibility issue with this motherboard. It is also not just one bad board - I have two systems that behave the same way right now.
Thanks,
James

MSI P67A-C43 (B3) Not booting with Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D Dominator RAM

The mobo will boot but will not login it starts to hang in booting the OS, also when i try to update the mobo bios with a live CD (with old ram that was fine)
My first question, is Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D Dominator compatible with MSI P67a-C43 (B3)
and why isn't my bios being updated when i didnt update it ever since i bought it in 2011.

That is a triple channel kit of three sticks made for X58/socket 1366 systems and not for a 1155 system. Three sticks could stress the mem controler too much and result in it not running the sticks at the timings/speed they are meant for. Try just two of those and see if that helps. If so try relaxing timings and/or change to ddr3-1333 for trying three.

What? Are you asking about a missing update offered or what do you mean?

HP G62 Will Not Boot With Power Cord Plugged In

I have an HP G62 laptop that is about four years old. I've had a couple of problems with it before that were resolved relatively satisfactorily, however five or six months ago I started having a new issue. The laptop will not boot with the charging cord plugged in, whether there is a battery in it or not. Nor will it return from sleep mode (screen black, status light on the power button flashing) with the charging cord plugged in, whether there is a battery in it or not. It simply shuts down and I end up with an error screen the next time I boot up. I have tried other charging cords and it has been the same, however the cord will still charge the battery. This means I have to charge the battery, unplug the cord, boot up the computer. This annoyance is worsened by the fact that the battery is old and unable to hold charge for very long at all and I fear one day even the battery won't be enough to boot the computer.Can I fix the power cord issue? Should I buy a new battery? Or let my computer give up the ghost and scrounge for a new one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

the charger input could possibly need replaced and/or the charger

T60 does not boot with Intel T7600G CPU

I replaced my Intel Core Duo T2400 with Intel Core 2 Duo T7600G CPU in ThinkPad T60(1951-CTO) laptop. However, laptop does not boot with Intel Core 2 Duo T7600G CPU. It doesn't even complete the POST: https://db.tt/8UL8FlE0 As seen in the video, I plugged in the power adapter at 0:02 and pressed the power button at 0:06. One can hear a little click made by optical device. If I press the power button again at 0:16, this click does not happen. BIOS version is 2.27. I have reset the BIOS settings by disconnecting the CMOS battery, but this didn't help. Once I replace the T7600G with my old T2400 then I'm able to boot the laptop.
Any ideas what might cause such behavior? Shouldn't there be beep codes in case of CPU issues? What else to try?

Since you came from a T2400, does your T60 even have a Rev. 3 motherboard? If it does not, then no Core 2 Duo will work, only Core Duo's.
I don't claim to be the top authority on T60 motherboards, but I believe any will use a Core 2 T7600, 7400, 7200 if the firmware is updated.
My own experience mirrors what TuuS has stated. I have yet to see a T60/p from any walk of life with a recent BIOS that will bark at a proper Core 2 Duo CPU.

More detail and a reply for the CQ50 - 130US will not boot with 8gb ram post

The specs, on the web site say that the max memory supported is 3GB DDR2 because the notebook was built with the OS Vista(32 bit) installed so that’s why the manual has the 3 GB max. memory supported limit. The 32 bit OS can’t address memory over 3.12 GB. To my mind that is not a spec. but rather a tech. writer who made a mistake and copied the sales literature. With Windows 7(64 bit) Pro. installed the OS can address up to192GB of memory if the system supports it. Other Compaq and HP Notebooks can deal with 8GB of memory installed. That’s why I would think HP’s could easily fix this with a patch or use one of their other BIOS’s.
The difference between 4GB and 6GB is that with 6GB system runs faster and the display quality has improved. I have set the cache size to large and the executive paging is set to off in the registry. The menu(System Properties - Performance Options – Advanced – Virtual Memory) is set to automatically manage the paging file size.

You should keep it in the original; thread you started.

Power button not working with 7.1 update

Power button not working with 7.1 update

I take it your phone was still under warranty then?!
Unfortunately I was not so lucky, and my experience was rather poor service-wise. They're called Apple Geniuses but I beg to differ...
I'm not sure where in the world you are located, but my "experience" involved visiting the Leeds store and confusing everyone with this issue. I can tell you, just by the looks on their faces, they had never been faced with this problem before!
I suggested my phone was rolled back to the version it was previously to establish whether this was the underlying issue. I was asked whether my phone had been backed up and as it had the "genius" proceeded to restore the phone "as it came out of the factory" to quote him.
When this was completed the phone was still doing the same thing and I was advised "the software update must have highlighted a hardware issue." I was told it would have to be physically repaired and was told to have this done by a third party as Apple would charge approximately £160. Incidentally, I work in IT and repair PC's, laptops and mobile devices for a living and made a point of raising that a sleep/wake button ribbon cable for an iPhone 4S can be bought on eBay for as little as £3.00...if indeed it does need replacing, which I suspect it does not.
Anyway, so now I was left with a phone for the rest of the day which was blank and still the problem remained. On the train, on the way home, you can then imagine my disbelief when I actually took the time to look at my phone's configuration and realised that iOS version 7.1 was still installed, so obviously the issue would still remain. So the visit to the "genius bar" was a complete waste of time as I'm still in the very same position, and I still blame the 7.1 update for this...let's home 7.2 is released very shortly and this solves the issue...
I have downloaded the package to roll the version back to 7.0 but I'm a little reluctant to carry this out yet as I would expect Apple to so the issue they have caused. This is NOT hardware related but software.
I seriously think Android is calling me...

MBP15 1.83 GHz Will Not Boot With 3GB Upgrade

I'm trying to increase my MBP's ram to the 3GB limit. This is a 1.83 GHz 15" model.
It will not boot with 2GB & 1GB sticks of identical mfg & specs. It will boot with one or the other...
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Stradioti

Hi
according to the Apple specs for the 1.83GHz mbp's - 2Gig of memory is the limit......
512MB (single SODIMM) of PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 memory on 1.83GHz configuration; and 1GB (single SODIMM) on 2.0GHz configuration; two SODIMM slots support up to 2GB
Crucial Memory says the same.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

What lead_org is referring to is commonly known as "re-balling" which involves unsoldering the Southbridge chip from the planar, replacing all (6-700) solder balls with new ones and then re-attaching it under heat/pressure.

K9AGM3-F does not boot with PCIe 4x device in PCIe 16x slot

K9AGM3-F motherboard does not boot with PCIe 4x Intel PRO/1000 PT dual port network interface card installed into PCIe 16x slot on motherboard. The boot process stops in BIOS screens. The motherboard works flawlessly without this NIC. K9VGM-V + Intel PRO/1000 PT boot successfully. I tried three K9AGM3-F motherboards and two Intel PRO/1000 PT NICs in different combinations, the results are always the same. It appears to be some kind of BIOS problem.

Minor point, probably irrelevant: I said you install the driver f i r s t. Then you put the physical card in.
The driver is completely irrelevant because the driver is a part of operating system, but as I already wrote before the boot process stops long before the OS start.
Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 09-April-08, 22:52:27
No stability issues otherwise?
PSU is always good to know.
The PSU is irrelevant too because the same NICs work in the PCIe 1x slot of the same motherboard with the same PSU.

2960X-48FPS-L does not boot with IOS 15.2-2E

Hello,
i got a bunch of 2960X switches. But some of them do not boot with the new IOS Version. The older 15.0-2 EX do boot.
Does anybody have a clue why this happens? During the Bootprocess it just stops to load:
File "flash:/c2960x-universalk9-mz.152-2.E.bin" uncompressed and installed, entry poin0x3000
executing...
Loading "flash:/c2960x-universalk9-m
Thank you for your help.

On the ones that cannot boot 15.2(2)E, can you break the boot cycle using the "Mode" button?
If the answer is "yes", then try the following:
1. Copy the IOS BIN file from a working switch to a USB flash drive;
2. In ROMmon, force the switch to boot the IOS from your USB flash drive;
3. If it does not work, try a different IOS, like the EX3 for instance. Try the same process, boot the BIN from your USB flash drive.
4. If it works, try a different IOS, like EX3, for instance. Downgrade the IOS from 15.2(2)E to EX3 and see if the switch can boot normally.
This exercise will determine where the fault is coming from: IOS bug or a hardware batch problem.
To determine if you'e got a hardware batch problem, you may need to look at the serial number of the switches working and not working. From left to right, look at the 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th numerals. This will determine the year and month your appliances were made.

ThinkCentre M93p not booting with WD MyBook USB 3.0 drive

Hi!
I have a serious problem as boot freezes on my ThinkCentre M93p Tower at the Lenovo logo when the Western Digital MyBook USB 3.0 drive is attached at boot time. I have already commented on this in this thread:
http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T420-Not-booting-with-3TB-external-USB3-dri...
It seems to be an UEFI / BIOS problem and I hope that there will be a resolution soon, as I like the Lenovo ThinkCentres and would like to buy more for our company. This problem seems to be present on Lenovo notebooks and desktops when looking at other posts here.

This bug has been driving me mad since I received my P900 Thinkstation - as PeaB0dy notes, the hardware is great but the software (pretty much in general) is really disappointing.
Have you actually opened a support ticket with Lenovo?
I had a problem with my M93p SFF relating to an older external USB drive from Seagate, and an apparent incompatibility with management of the drive across soft reboots. I opened a support ticket and got superb results from Lenovo engineering over the next few months. I sent them the drive to have (as I had no use for it, replacing it with a new Verbatim USB drive which was fully 100% compatible with the machine and saw none of the problems I saw with the Seagate drive).
The eventual outcome was a public fix in a new version of the BIOS to handle the unique characteristics of the Seagate drive.
So, have you actually opened a ticket with Lenovo? They need to have something official to start from when new problems are discovered. The M93 machines are "new", so issues of compatibility is not a surprise to me. Especially when UEFI, GPT, large drives >2GB, and Windows 8 are concerned.

MB RS480M2 will not boot with MSI videocard R5450

I purchased R5450 vidocard via internet, put it on MB RS480M2 and the latter did not boot afterwards.
(Tried everything). (It worked in another computer.....)
I cannot sent it back: waited to long.
Is there something with my BIOS?
I have the latest official BIOS: V3.9
What can I do: I expected that a PCI-E card from MSI should fit on a MSI MotherBoard with a PCI-E slot.
Can anyone help me?
Kind regards: LGM

Yep, problem is the PCI Express x 16 slot which supports only PCI Express Bus specification v1.0a on RS480M2.
