My new x48 won't boot up, LED matrix shows "LOGO"

Hi,
I have just purchased a new X48 platinum, below is my sys spec:
Core2Duo E8400, boxed fan, fan connected to 4-pin fan connector, and did spin when booting up.
Kingston 1333MHz DDR3 2G*2, CL9, in slot 1/3
Sapphire HD3870, placed in the first PCI-E 2.0 x16, as instructed.
connected 24pin power plus 4pin cpu connector, graphic card has its own power connector. Apart from that the system is standalone, except of course keyboard and monitor.
I disconnected all other components so as to minimize possible problem areas.
However, I still get bootup process hanging at logo phase, the 4-letter-post-led shows "LOGO", screen shows LOGO too. Pressing DEL/TAB would not do anything. Had to long press power or press reset to power off/restart. short pressing power or using keyboard doesn't work.
Could any body please give me a clue what is wrong? I have also tried resetting cmos a number of times, seems not helping at all.
Thanks a lot in advance!
Br,

I found out that chip with a label "A7353 IMS220" (the last 0 was unsure as it doesn't read clearly)
A7353IMS.220 means BIOS v2.20
Quote
Does this mean my BIOS is out of date?
It is not out of date, it just does not inlcude the proper microcode for the E8400/E0.
Quote
May I ask if this is an obligation of them?
A good reseller should offer such services but I wouldn't call it an obligation in the strict sense.

Otherwise what is the best option you suggest me to do?
The most convenient way would probably be to borrow a supported processor.  Otherwise, ask in a local computer shop.

Does "blind flashing" work even when there is no response to keyboard during booting?
It works in most cases, however not in all cases.  Also, if there are problems that may cause system instability (RAM related for example) that may result in a system crash during flashing, your board will be dead and you will have to RMA it.  This is a risk that comes with every BIOS update, however, when you decide to perform a blind flash in this situation, you have no way to check system stability beforehand.

    .      Also  I tried and  clear CMOS just using  1 stick RAM the slot close to CPU. nothing got it.     Debug LED   FF .     no  signs  of CPU no debug Led   Must see CPU LEDs  On .   as for  me trouble  is  on CPU or motherboard. when you install CPU did you push hard down and closing lever?  I installed CPU like manual say completely embedded into socket and closing lever  I didn't pushed .   Have To push hard it?   what you think about?     I 'll Try tomorrow removing motherboard  and reinstall   Properly as  I  did  and everything back    again.

  • New HD won't boot internally; fine externally

    I'm trying to swap out the hard drive on my wife's late-2008 Macbook with a new Western Digital hard drive (regular style, not a solid-state drive). Cloning the drive with Carbon Copy Cloner seems to have worked fine (including the hidden Recovery partition) as it can be booted from in an external USB case on startup. The problem starts when I switched out the old drive and placed the WD inside. All of a sudden the Macbook won't boot up and I get the flashing folder icon instead. Switching the drives back and everything's fine; I can again boot up from either drive by holding the option key on startup.
    I've read that some older Macbook Pros have an issue with SATA II data transfer rates and need to be slowed down from 3.0 Gbps to SATA speeds of 1.5. Unfortunately, it according to WD's site you can't do that with WD's 2.5" drives, only their 3.5"s. I've tried it anyways with a jumper and it doesn't seem to work for me.
    I've also read elsewhere that there is a limit to the size of the drive that can be placed in: 500 GB. The drive I bought is 750 GB, so if this is true, that could be what the problem is. However, I can't find any mention of this supposed limitation anywhere on Apple's site. Does anyone have a reputable source for if this is true for this model of Macbook?

    Western Digital Scorpio Blue (WD7500BPVT) 750GB SATA 5400 RPM 8MB Cache 2.5" Laptop Hard Disk (OEM)

    Hi Dave, I am having the same issues with a WD Blue. Thanks for your suggestions, but doesn't work for me.
    When the WD is in the MBP (15" 2010 Unibody), and I boot from an external HD, firstly the MPD says it can't recognise the WD and offers me the choice to Initialise, ignore or eject. I select initialise and disk utility reports that there is only a FAT partition of 58.2 GB on the WD. Err?
    When I put the original HD (an ST950032 500GB) back in the MBP and boot off it, all is fine. I then put the WD in an external exclosure, and the MBP sees it fine and Disk Utility correctly reports a MacOS Journalled GUID partition of 465.8GB.
    All the data is there (from doing an earlier clone). I just can't boot off it - weird.
    Surely there is a fix for this? Have tried all the SMC / PRAM reset stuff.
    The box even says that the WD Blue is 'Suitable for all operating systems (except XP) out of the box". How can you be sure that a drive you but will work in a MBP before you spend your money?
    Help? Glum

  • New machine won't boot

    I've had this new machine up for about a week and a half, and all of a sudden it started hanging (freezing) on me tonight.  Other than the drivers, utilities, etc. that came w/ the various hardware, I haven't installed much software: Office 2007, Firefox, AIM, and one game (TimeShift).  Everything was working great until tonight.  Except I had noticed that when I left the machine for a while and it went to sleep, when I tried to wake it up by moving the mouse, the screen would come up w/ my background and nothing else.  I would have to reboot to get it going again.  Tonight it all escalated.  It first hung when I was using Firefox.  Next time it was after I saw a brief message about an 'access error' on the raid mirror.  I then went into the nVidia Control panel, and it froze again.   No response from the keyboard or mouse at all.  Sometimes, the mouse pointer would disappear completely, and w/ still no response from the keyboard I'd have to reboot.  The last time windows was up, I tried to see if the game would start - it froze again.  After I pressed the reset button that time, it has not booted again.
    I'm using the software raid (Raid 1 mirror), and it says the mirror is "healthy".  I can get into the Raid Setup and everything looks fine.  But when I get past the post, right when you're supposed to see the Windows moving bar, I hear a faint 'click', and then nothing - black screen.  I can also get to the BIOS just fine, and nothing appears to have changed.  It's possible that one of the hard drives is bad, but after all the trouble I had trying to get Raid to work on this board (cold boot issue, etc.), I also think that the board may be suspect.  I guess I will try disconnecting one of the drives, and see if it will boot off of one or the other.  But I would sure appreciate any other suggestions too!
    TIA

    Well, I found I can boot off of the first drive (slot Sata 1), but not the second (slot Sata 2).  So I guess it might be the hard drive which is having a problem.  The odd thing is, that when both drives are plugged in, it won't boot.  If I disconnect the second one it will boot.  I thought that was the purpose of mirroring - if one drive went bad, it would boot off of the good one, and then you replace the bad one and rebuild your mirror.  Perhaps that means there something wrong w/ the nVidia raid??  I've never used raid before on a machine, so I don't have any experience with this sort of thing.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
    No, the mirroring means you have a safe copy of your data, you will still need 2 disks........

  • Compaq CQ61 won't boot, 2 led blinks.

    Product Name and NumberCompaq Presario CQ61-310SA Operating System installed (if applicable)None Error message (if any)LED flashes twice before pausing and repeating. Indicates BIOS corruption. Any changes made to your system before the issue occuredBeen inactive for 10 months due to having no power cable, I purchased a 3rd party power cable for it today. ProblemHello, as I stated above, my laptop has been inactive for 10 months and only today I decided to finally get a charger for it, which set me back £5.99, clearly a low quality charger but I was unsure if the laptop even worked anymore and didn't want to splash out on a manufacturer charger. When the AC adapter is plugged in, the LED indicator next to the charger port lights up, but with the battery installed the charge LED inbetween the Power and HDD LED's flashes 4 times, on the 4th flash it holds for about a second then discontinues the blinks. When powered up the backlight and LCD do not turn on and the CAPS LOCK and NUM LOCK LED's flash twice before pausing and repeating and the WiFi light glows orange. I can hear the HDD and fan spinning but the BIOS isn't initiated. I understand this error code refers to BIOS corruption and have attempted a hard reset, holding the power for 15 seconds as stated on some websites, then 30 as stated on others, and finally 60 seconds, as well as replacing the BIOS battery, HDD and memory modules to no avail... It doesn't seem as if the battery is charging at all, but it is completely empty so I'll leave it for a while to see if it does charge. Is this anything to do with the fact I bought a cheap chinese charger? Or would I have to replace the motherboard? AC AdapterName: WeiXin Da Electronics AC Adapter - PA-1700-02Input: 100-240v ~ 1.8AOuput: 18.5V ~ 3.5A Many thanks, Jordan.

    This is a phenomenon of these computers.
    If you have a computer that won't boot, remove battery, unplug charger. Press powerbutton for at least 20 seconds, insert the power cable, and hold for another 20 seconds. Nothing will seem to happen. Then press power again.
    Your LiION battery is close to end of life. Replace. Or get used to doing this. Diag software will warn for failed battery. You will also have a ton of BIOS messages about an obscure error occuring. But you need to have a working Diag partition to make some sense of the meaningless error reported in BIOS.
    This has nothing to do with the RTC/NVRAM backup. But it's no reason to not replace it. It costs about 3$ and you can find a 2032 Lithium cell almost everywhere. (3V, 20mm diameter, 3,2mm thick). Located under the harddrive bay cover on the bottom of computer.
    If no boot occurs, check that the "lid closed" switch is working. In some environments they can get stucked in "Lid closed" position.
    Also if you have access to a can of compressed air (duster), clean the airflow / cooling part from accumulated dust.
    These are not exactly the most energy saving computers. They get hot. I have seen examples of plastic chassie parts melting.

  • New X2270 won't boot OpenSolaris 2009-06 from internal disk

    Is anyone having any problems with recent X2270 servers? I took delivery of two of these last week. They are without the ILOM card because Sun are having quality issues with them - a firmware bug I believe. They are fun to install as my only eyes is via a serial port that seems to have some kind of bios video text to serial ascii emulation which has quite a delay on it.
    Basically after installing Solaris it won't boot from the internal disk. So far I've tried net installs of SXCE b105 and also the latest OpenSolaris 2009-06 and in both cases the install completes correctly without any errors (that I've detected) but after rebooting they fail to load the kernel. Here is what's left on my serial console:
    Press F2 to run Setup (CTRL+E on Remote Keyboard)
    Press F12 if you want to boot from the network (CTRL+N on Remote Keyboard)At this point the hard drive activity light flashes twice and then the machine appears frozen. The Solaris banner is never shown. I've left it like this for hours just be sure.
    I've chosen ZFS for the whole disk in both instances. I wonder if this has something to do with it.
    Presumably OpenSolaris has the drivers for the disk interface cards otherwise it wouldn't have been able to install onto the disks.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards

  • New Install Won't boot after GRUB

    I have been using ArchBang for the past year and a half so I finally thought that I knew enough about Linux to try installing a true Arch Linux system. 
    I followed the beginner instructions carefully and was able to successfully install my system (or at least I thought) and GRUB.  I am currently running my system on a Dell inspiron with two separate hard drives.  The primary drive is the one I am trying to install Arch on while I have Windows 7 installed on the second drive.
    The drive I installed Arch on is /dev/sde.  I think that I successfully installed GRUB given that when I boot my computer it goes into GRUB and shows both my Arch Linux install and my Windows 7 system and when I select Windows 7 in GRUB it successfully boots.
    But when I selected my Arch install in GRUB the system does not boot.  It just shows:
    /dev/sda1: clean, 31087/3751936 files, 478966/15000685 blocks
    and then I am left with a blinking cursor and after a few minutes I get:
    Welcome to emergency mode. Use "systemctl default" or ^D to enter default mode.
    Give root password for maintance:
    Anyone one how I fix this?  Do I need to reinstall?  As I said before I didn't receive any errors during the install and GRUB seems to be working correctly. Please remember that I am a newbie but please help!

    I have a mac pro desktop and it won't boot up, it keeps freezing at the circle and then appears to be loading and then it shuts off.  I've turned it off and disconnected everything and reconnect and it does the same thing.

    I wasn't aware PRAM batteries did any charging
    Apple has used rechargeable batteries for volatile storage for some time.
    and just 'held' information in NVRAM and PRAM when needed and there was no power coming in
    I can't see data held in NVRAM/PRAM doing something like keeping time without some power. One can't assume a permanent Internet connection to update it when the system is turned on now can we?
    I assume it is on a 1000VA UPS that has good battery and fully charged too, and didn't discharge during the vacation
    If the UPS was turned off it's as good as being totally unplugged so it may well have still been at 100% upon return. There's no power delivery when the UPS is off remember.

    I installed an antivirus recently and in its scan some viruses were found. Those viruses were deleted and now my laptop wont boot into windows. It just stays where "toshiba" logo is displayed. My laptop is running on windows 8.1. I have a recovery DVD, but the laptop won't boot from the DVD either. Is there a way to get my laptop to boot windows without doing a factory reset. Please help!!

  • NF750-G55 New Build Won't Boot to DVD

    I'm doing a rebuild of a system in which the old motherboard failed. This is only the second time I have done a build, so forgive any apparent ignorance. The following describes the system: Motherboard: MSI NF750-G55, CPU: AMD Athlon II X3 450, PSU: Hiper Type R MkII 880W, Case: Antec Three Hundred, Memory: Rendition by Crucial 1 X 4GB, Hard Drive: Seagate 400 GB, DVD: Samsung 22X SpeedPlus. Only the case, PSU and DVD come from the first build I did 18 months ago and were fine until the old MOBO failed.
    The problem I'm encountering with the new MSI NF750-G55 is booting to the DVD so I can load Windows Vista onto the hard drive. The POST gives me a Bad CHKSUM error and directs me to bios setup. In setup, the Boot Sequence shows my DVD and hard drives as disabled and won't let me enable either.
    I've uninstalled everything, cleared the CMOS and reinstalled everything five times. Nevertheless I am still getting the same error message and can't enable either  my DVD drive or hard drive. Therefore, I'm unable to successfully boot up and load windows onto the new hard drive.
    I'm out of ideas and ready to return the MOBO to Newegg for another, but I would rather fix the problem. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can try next before I ask for an RMA?
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide this newbie.

    I've tried loading defaults (both optimized and fail-safe) in bios setup as well as by using F2 in the chksum error screen. All result in a screen that looks like this:
    The text that is obscured in the upper part of the screen reads:
    BTX loader 1.0 BTX version is 1.01
    Console: internal video/keyboard
    Bios drive C: is disk 0
    Bios 636kB/2030208kB available memory
    Once in that screen, the only way out is to unplug the PSU and reset the CMOS.
    As I said before, I'm stymied and have no idea what to try next.

    do not do this, just hit reset button then press F11 during BIOS post screen and boot from your optical drive.

  • Re: KT6V New system won't boot.

    Similar problem here...
    I got new (bought in one week) KT6V, installed Sempron 2500+ and 256MB DDR400 but I never boot it successfully.
    No video signal seen in monitor, monitor led always stays orange. I removed all PCI card and also unconnect HDD and CDROM powers to test, but it is same... 
    I donot know what the problem is, and donot know what I can do next
    Because of the no screen, I donot enter BIOS, I checked many times my video card...It's tested on another machine, no problem with that...
    Waiting your comments urgently...
    Thanks...

    Your Mobo isn't the same of first post, so it's possible you could get wrong or less advises than you could get with a new post. Also, it seems that you named it wrong: Shouldn't it KT4AV ? Your'e using 2 Difs. memory. Better take the 128 out at least during troubleshoot. 300W P.S. may be too poor, that's why you have beeing asked to tell it's specs.
