My Msi 6163 Pro doesn't boot !

I change the motherboard Msi 6163 Pro of my old PC but it doesn't boot !! 
The diagnostic leds are 1010 (Green Red Green Red) : Testing Base and extended memory ... (from 240k to 640k and above 1Mb)
I test 4 different memory modules on this motherboard : they can't all be out of order ....
- I test PC 100-128 SDRAM 16*8
- and PC 100-128M 8*16
Do you have an idea for this problem    ? The mainboard, the memory module, the pentium (pentium III 500)
No overclocking, default configuration, bios has been initialised ...
Thanks a lot.

Hi dude !
I have Msi6163 bx master.... This motherboard support copermine.
Yes..it is a big chance that the problem is related to sdram type memory. I personaly have 512MB of sdram (all 4 slots full) I have mixed sdrams... some are 133mhz, some of them are 100mhz. The bus is overclocked to 133mhz from 100mhz so my p3 650 mhz works on 866 since 2001 year without any problem. I have difficulties to find working sdram on this motherboard when i upgraded it with more memory. Some sdram modules didnt work, some of them has been recognized as half of it, boot problems and so go on... I know that in mynual is written whic sdram must be. 
I check now on site http://www.crucial.com/  for the answer for your problem. I found this:
These 168-pin DIMM modules are compatible with your system.:
128MB sdrams: (crucial)
SDRAM, PC100 • CL=2 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 100MHz • 3.3V • 16Meg x 64
SDRAM, PC133 • CL=2 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 133MHz • 3.3V • 16Meg x 64
SDRAM, PC133 • CL=3 • Unbuffered • Non-parity • 133MHz • 3.3V • 16Meg x 64
SDRAM, PC100 • CL=2 • Unbuffered • ECC • 100MHz • 3.3V • 16Meg x 72

Good luck. Let us know if you found the solution. On sunday i will try again to change some sdram to gain more memory   Bx master 6163 supports up to 1GB sdram

  • Problem with a MSI-6163 PRO

    Anyone got an idea what kinda problem i have? I have an MSI 6163 PRO motherboard (with latest BIOS update 3.5), a PIII 700 Cuppermine, 3x256 SDRam, i run Win XP Pro, have a 40 gb harddrive and have been running like this for at least 9 months, without any problem. Suddenly it starts to reboot all the time and now i cant even start it not even in fail safe mode, it reboots before i get in.
    Its not a Virus, i have virus checked the hardrive, i tryed with a smaller harddrive (6 gb and win 95) and that worked, i bought a new harddrivce (120 gb) Started to format and install Win XP pro and it starts to reboot again, i have tryed chagne memmorys, graphic adapter, net adapter, soundcard everything, i am going nuts! anyone had probs like this??
    I would be more than greatfull if anyone has an answer to this.

    Thanks a lot Wonkanoby for the help. It didnt help my error but it sure cleared it up. There were several capacitor that leaked, just as the pics on the site you sent  http://www.overclockers.com/tips00140/, it shows clearly on thoose. Cant beleive how that problem can be so big and seems like they are doing nothing about it either.
    Well thanks for a great Forum here, and thanks to you Wonkanoby.
    The motherboard is dumped... thinking of going back to good old ASUS
    Then its Rock´n Roll agian
    Have a great day.

  • AGP of MSI 6163 Pro (MSI 6163 Ver2)

    Hi..wondering if anyone can tell me if msi 6163 Pro (msi 6163 Ver2) can support GF2 Ti Video Card?
    Been thinking of getting the Inno3D GF2 Ti Card, but is not able to find info as to whether it will work on it.

    and the MSI-6163 v1.0 can support a gf2mx agp card (it's an asus v7100 deluxe)?. I tried to install it but windows98 can't recognise Cd-rom because it says it is a conflict in the bus controller (the exact address is f000-f000f) and it was no way to make it run well. I had to reinstall the old intel740 8mb agp card, and making so the pc become to run properly just like before installing the gf2mx card. Can anyone help me? I'm getting mad about this... :(
    P.S. Sorry for the english that maybe it's not quite perfect

  • Msi 6163 Pro

    Does anyone could help me, were i could buy the msi 6163 Pro motherboard for replacement of my old one which was totally crash because some of its resistor were damage.  I'm not sure if the cause was overheat, or the board might be defective.  But I still like this board more than the other. 8)

    Only with great luck as a used board from a computer shop.
    They were not in production for about 3 years now.

    I had the same problem with a P67A-C45 board. The problem is your videocard .I build my system with a Nvidia gt9500 and it didn't work. After a bit of testing (and also a new mainboard) I found out that after changing the videocard with an old ati card it does work). I send an e-mail to msi support i got a new biosversion for my mainboard (1.68) and everything works fine now.
    Videocard it is. Thanks a lot, I'd never guess.
    With simple ATI card id loads well.
    So, is it going to work with GTX460 if I get latest BIOS?

    hi.
    my mac pro doesn't boot. it starts and ceases with a turning wheel (rainbow). any ideas how i can boot. safe boot works normally

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
    These steps are to be taken while booted in safe mode.
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
    The commands may line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
    Step 1
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V).

    Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.

  • Mac Book Pro doesn't boot (twice; after updating) and slow performance before these incidents

    Hi,
    Maybe someone can help me resolving a (re) boot issue with my Mac Book Pro. Last few weeks I experienced a tremendous drop in performance (start-up as well as handling and using applications).
    Yesterday I downloaded and installed  an app to clean stuff from the mac, such as binaries that aren't used, cache files, etc. It resulted in substantial better performance. Than, I used the updater on this application to update. This morning, the Mac wouldn't boot. After several attempts I used the old DVD with Mac OS X to re-install and boot. That worked.
    Following this approach, I received two messages (that HP apps weren't secured or something and therefor disabled). Than I updated the Mac OS X and later this evening it asked me if I wanted to install some (4) other updates as well (don't know what updates these were). So I updated but now I am back at square one: My Mac doesn't boot. I do get the grey starting screen, but now even the 'apple' logo is missing.
    Anyone else experiencing these problems and have any clues on how to fix it? By the way, I also tried to alter permissions on all files on the main hard drives (to ensure that I do not always have to sign off on updates and or changes of applications). Would that have caused problems?

    You seem to have a lot going on here, so it's hard to know what's wrong. You likely had some underlying problems before doing the Software Update.
    Here's a link that might help with the grey screen problem:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    Which app did you download?
    If you can get booted up, check in the System Profiler to see that all of your RAM is recognized--if not, you may need to reseat one or both sticks.
    If you can boot from your install disc, run the extended version of the Apple Hardware test to check for hardware problems. Freezing can be caused by a dying hard drive, which can also tend to corrupt software.
    While booted from the install disc, navigate to Disk Utility and repair your boot disk. You can do this 2 or 3 times even if it says no problems found.
    While in Disk Utility, check to see that the SMART status of your hard drive is verified. If not, you will need to replace the drive.
    It probably wouldn't hurt to reinstall the OS.
    Do you have a good, up to date backup? If not, it would be a good idea to make one as soon as you can, just to be on the safe side.
    Have you tried a Safe Boot?

  • MSI 845 Pro no OS boot

    I was working on a computer for my friend and after finding out the problem was the pwer supply we replaced it, only to have the motherboard boot, but only to the state where it will boot from the drives.  Then it locks and hangs and does nothing.  I Checked everything and I don't know whats wrong with it.  Anyone have any idea as to what could be wrong?
    MSI 845 Pro with P4 1.7 gig
    450 Watt Power Supply
    1.5 gig of ram
    8500LE ATI video card
    Sound Blaster Audigy sound card
    DVD Rom
    CD RW Rom
    40 Gig Western Digital Hard Drive
    40 Gig Segate Hard Drive
    Like I said it locks up when it should be booting from the hard drive or CDrom drive. 

    The Video card was failing.  It would only boot in VGA mode.  The power supply he had was only a 320 watt and knowing that he had a Sound Blaster in it I knew it most likly was the power supply.  The new one's specs are
    Win 400 PS P4 (450 Peak Watts)
    Ac input 115/230 V~,7.5A/4.5A,50-60 Hz
    +3.3A  +5V  +12V  -5V  -12V  +5VSB
    15.0A   30A  15A    .6A  .6A    2.0A
    And I removed everything and started from just the chip and worked my way from there adding devices and I didn't find any problems with regards to the beeps.  The computer boots to the post fine.  It just locks up after the post right before it should boot from the CDrom or floppy or Hard drive. I alos put the other devices in another computer to see if they work and they do, so I am really at a lose as to what is wrong with the board.

  • Macbook pro doesn't boot after iOS upgrade

    Hi all,
    I've upgraded my macbook pro (was requested automatically the upgrade) and after reboot to finish the installation, my macbook doesn't boot up.
    Is there any way to boot it up? A kind of boot in safe mode?
    I'm trying to power it up but nothing. It doesn't boot at all.
    Please, can you help me with this.

  • Mac Pro doesn't boot from any media

    Hi,
    We have a Dual Xeon Mac Pro that has been running fine since 2007 the person that uses it reported that it started making loud banging noises (how loud I do not know as thats quite subjective although it was loud enough to warrant other people in the office going to see what the noise was) and then the desktop crashed and now when it boots we get the folder with a flashing question mark.
    I've put it down to disk failure but due to them having a Mac Pro (intel) and a Dual G5 PowerMac I think at some point in time they binned off one set of disks believing that one set would work for both machines resulting in none of the disks they have will boot the machine.
    Oddly I haven't been able to boot it from any other media though, I downloaded the live version of Ubuntu for Netbooks to try to get it to boot from that but it wouldn't boot from that either and when I put it in selective startup mode it detects the CD in the drive as Windows.
    So here I am with a Mac Pro an old G4 Mirror Doors era Apple Keyboard, no media that will boot the thing for diagnostics and wondering what my next move is. Back in the day when I admin'd a network of Mac's it'd be selective boot from a firewire drive try a repair do some cloning if required slap a new disk in reimage and off we go.
    I haven't actively worked on a day to day basis on Apple kit for about 4 years though so I'm a bit rusty and have no experience with the Intel Architecture Macs other than my Mum and Dads iMac and MacBook and I'm pretty sure the media that came with them wont boot the Mac Pro, different media sets never used to work across ranges, not sure how true that is now though.
    Any help with this much appreciated. Stats below
    Sean

    I had a quote from the local Apple Service Centre and Media for this machine was £70.
    Luckily we found the Media for the Mac Pro inside a box for some other software.
    I have since been able to retrieve the data by inserting the disk into a SATA equipped G5 and using disk utility on that machine to repair the volume and disk.
    I've retrieved the data and the disk, volume and permissions structures all check out.
    However the Intel Mac Pro will not boot from the now repaired drive, or from the original DVD shipped with the computer.
    So off to the Apple Service Centre it goes for hardware diagnosis. I expect this to be expensive
    Cheers

    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible

  • Macbook Pro doesn't boot from hard disk

    I recently applied an open firmware password to our Macbook Pro.
    A co-worker tried to boot via the t-funtion which obviously doesn't work when the open firmware password is active. He forget to contact me so he tried to get it to work using some startup shortcuts. The folowing he had done:
    * starting up while holding shift;
    * starting up while holding command + option + P + R;
    * having the accu out for a while
    * starting up while holding shift and let the Mac on for a night
    It seems that starting up from the Macintosh HD seems somehow blocked. THe system hangs on the Apple grey splashscreen with the loading icon turning.
    I tried the following:
    * Tried resetting PRAM using Option + Command + P + R (didn't hear any chimes);
    * Trying to reset Open Firmware Password using Option + Command + O + F (nothing happens)
    The most promising solution came when holding down the Option key: I got the lock and entered my Open Firmware Password. I was able to boot from the install disc. In the disc utility I verified the hard disk and repaired some permissions. I didn't get error messages. THen I used the startup utility and selected the hard drive as startup disk.
    But when I restart the computer, it still hangs on the splash screen. So for now i've run out of ideas.

    With intel Mac they changed to EFI firmware so a lot has changed. From reading this I think if you can get to install disk utilities then why not uncheck +Require password to change Open Firmware settings+ on Firmware Password Utility and that should free up the troubleshooting steps you list above that are blocked. Reinstall of OSX seems logical to attempt. Sadly without further testing could be hardware issue too, need to contact apple authorized service provider in this eventuality. One thing to bear in mind was whether your co-worker altered the firmware in any way, this might invalidate Apple One-Year Limited Warranty, AppleCare Protection Plan, or other AppleCare agreement.

  • MacBook Pro doesn't boot after crash.

    I only had it for a few month (Novebmer 2011).
    It crashed while playing an online game and wouldn't let me close the game so I forced a restart by pressing the On/Off button. Trying to start back up I get a grey screen with an Apple logo and a ton of command line text with weird looking codes.
    I already tried:
    Disconnecting all USB devices.
    Botting in Safe Mode (by holing down shift):
    Works. Repaired permissons and tried to repair disk. Both tell me it's fine now but I still can't boot normally.
    I also turned off Bluetooth just in case my Apple keyboard or touchpad are interfering.
    Resetting RAM (by holding down command-option-P-R):No change.
    Booting from the repair partiton (by holding down command-R):
    Doesn't give me and options but also a grey screen just without the error messages I get when booting normally.
    (I don't have a start-up disk to use as the new MacBook Pros don't ship with one.)
    Selecting the repair partition after setting up internet in the bottom part.Also just agrey screen with error text.
    The MacBook was bought from a Premium Reseller and they changed the RAM for me. I have the original lieing next to me but don't quite dare to change anything myself as I'm afraid I might break something and just make it worse. Given it's from a Premium Reseller I assume it should be apple approved or whatever though.
    My second problem is that I'm in France and don't speak French so going to the Apple store is kind of a last resort. (And probably not a good experience.)
    I'd be more than grateful for any tips on what else I could try.

    What I think has happened is in the process of doing a Force Shut Down you have totally corrupted the hard drive.
    Destroying even the Recovery partition.
    Now this could be because of a hardware failure, like for some reason the hard drive just crapped out (it can happen at any time).
    You can try to boot the computer from the internet, Apples web server. You do that by holding down the Command+R key combo as soon as you hit the power button.
    If that does not take you to the internet boot system then you will more then likely have to wait for your Bar appointment.
    Good luck.
