Neo2 not booting after BIOS flash

Darn - after upgrading to v1.3 BIOS, my Neo2 FIS2R won't boot.
I got a brand new set of components - new CPU, Neo2 FIS2R, and 1GB of Kingston HyperX PC3200 memory (22261T). I put everything in my system (Antec case, 400W P/S) and it booted fine with the v1.0 BIOS and I was able to install WinXP to my new 120GB SATA drive and my ATI9700Pro. Great - I know all my components work.
I install LiveBios and it shows me that v1.3 is out and enables MAT and DOT - the two features I bought the mobo for. So I download the latest via LiveBios, build the floppy (my system uses NTFS to boot) and reboot.
The BIOS flash process goes smoothly and I wait all the way to the end. I shut off the system and reboot - nothing, just a blank screen. So I shut it off, clear CMOS, and reboot again - still nothing. I try several more times, still nothing. However, recovery mode works so I reflash 1.3 a couple times to see if that will help, but it does not.
Finally, I build a floppy with v1.2 BIOS as the recovery BIOS and use recovery mode to load that. Still no go.
It is at this point that I discover and plug in those diags LEDs (I was using the onboard USB header to bring the USB ports to the front of the case) and find that it is stopping almost immediately at the 'early chipset identification' phase. Ouch. Oh, and at this point the BIOS recovery mode no longer works. Ouch.
Any thoughts? At this point I got an RMA number from the vendor and I'm thinking I'm just sending it back.

Unfortunately I can't even get to that phase - the system won't show the post splash screen or post at all. It just sits there blank (I know I wasn't clear on where the boot process was stopping - it doesn't even allow me to enter rom-based setup.)
So I'd love to set vdimm to something else, but I can't.

P67 GD80 B3 board not booting after bios flash error 98

Hey
Got a bit of a problem now after a bios flash on my P67 GD80
Been having some stange problems with the system not booting with multi over x50. Tried a newer bios didn't work then with a older bios just to see if there was a diference.
And sure there was a diference beacause now it shows the 98 post error all the time.
Same problem as this guy.

98 error and black screen.
I know that this board has dual bios and it can swith between the two if one of them goes wrong. It have done that before then i was benching but now i can't get it to work...
Is my board just a paper weight now or is there something i can try to get it to switch to number 2 bios?

Is the BIOS blue LED blinking or solid? If no BIOS LED at all, then there is hope. Try & force to POST from the secondary by removing all the RAM except for a stick in the primary blue dimm slot. With power cord removed from the PSU, remove the battery for ahwile, clear CMOS, & test. If you had the Auto BIOS Update enabled before the failure, it should flash the primary. If not enabled, first thing if you can get in to BIOS is to enable Auto Update, shut down & restart & hope for the best.

hi sathish291
Welcome to the Forums.
Can you try the following:
1. Power down the machine, remove the AC adapter and battery.
2. Hold the power button for 30secs and reconnect the AC adapter only then turn the computer ON.
If the machine still doesn't power up normally and boot into WIndows then it's likely that something went wrong (could be a bad BIOS flash or an internal component might have gone defective during or after the BIOS update). In this case, you may need to contact lenovo on how to go about getting the unit serviced.

K8n neo2 no post after bios flash

I have a K8n Neo2 Platinum that I recently flashed with beta 1.52 bios. I was trying to see if the beta bios would fix some problems I was having. After I rebooted it would not post. I cant even get into bios, let alone re-flash it. I tried resetting the cmos, but nothing happened. This is what happens:
I turn on the computer
My fans and led's light up
2 or 3 seconds later it turns off
My D-Bracket 2 shows green in #2 and green in #3, which, according to my manual means Processor Initialization.
My question is whether flashing my bios could have fried my CPU??? I ordered a new bios chip and will replace my chip with the new one, but this message from my d-bracket is scaring me!! Any help would be appreciated.

hi gabrielloewen ,
I'd try unplugging everything but the minimum, CPU, Grfx Card & 1 memory Module.
carefully follow Clear CMOS with jumper JBAT1 Make sure you leave the jumper on discharge for as long as specified, it's easy when your worried to do it to quickly. The continuous beeping is normal with memory removed. see Award Bios Beep codes in Main Menu - No Post/No Boot problems and fixes
If that works add back your drives etc.,
If that brings no success & you find no other solution you won't lose but may gain by following 5-2) Clear CMOS settings by removing battery in the last link leave the battery out overnight, & try again tomorrow (Minimum parts again.)

PT880 Bios Setting Not Correct After Bios Flash

Hey guys. Flashed bios from 1.1 to beta 1.5 and am now experiencing this problem. I get the message Bios settings not correct. After loading defaults all I get is my monitor going in to "sleep" mode. The only way to get PC to post is to clear the CMOS jumper. I find it odd that my PC booted to Windows fine with 1.1 and now this problem. The reason I flashed to beta is because I have a 2.4a prescott and heard that the beta is more compatible. Any ideas?

After finding that it sucked I uninstalled it. Went into bios and upped my FSB in 5mhz increments. I also loaded optimized defaults first disabling the dynamic OC and the usual settings and changed vcore to 1.425. I still cant get past 3.06, when I try higher, the PC restarts when trying to load windows. Ive tried bumping vcore in increments to 1.5, Northbridge up two notches, AGP at 1.7, RAM at 1.75 all with no luck. I dont want to get too gready but as my temps idle at 40C I feel I have more room to work with. I am going to try and manually enter my mem timings if I can find them and see what happens.
Another thing I've found. When you change the FSB in the bios and it does not boot, wait a while and see what happens. For me about a minute later it finally rebooted and posted but the FSB setting went back to default. You may not have to clear cmos if you wait long enough.
Good point about letting it sit----and then it will finally reboot after about a minute----back to FSB 200---this worked for me a couple of times.
In Bios-----one of the tricks I did was to set the DDR to 466 and 500 and then see how that affected other bios settings----without going ahead and posting.
It showed me that it jumped up my voltages on AGP, VDIMM and Northbridge (and I think soutbridge as well)
Anyway----went back into bios and reset the DDR to 400----1:1----then raised all those voltages---then set my FSB up to about 230. That was really about the highest I could get with any stability. And that just doesn't cut it with a 2.4c which I've known to easily overclock to around 3.2 on an 875 or 865 board.
That's why I think a 3.0c is a good chip for this VERY inexpensive board. At 230 FSB You are doing 3.45 Mghtz which ain't too shappy
Best timings for me were Cas 2.5 4,4,8 and changing the Vlink settings really did nothing that I could tell for performance or stability.
Good Luck----let's us know how it turns out-----John

NEO4 Plat Sli SIL3231 Raid problem - Can't boot after BIOS Flash!

Hi, I have and Neo4 Platinum SLI. I had "the problem" a while back with the nVida raid where there was a hang on shutdown. I then created a RAID0 using my two Rators on the SIL3132 controller, and have three hitachi drives hooked up to SATA1 - SATA3. Back then, I had trouble getting my SIL3132 array to be the main boot volume. I could boot when no other drives were attached, but as soon as I attached them, I get the boot disk error after post. Somehow I got it to work, but not think this time, I flashed the BIOS and ran into the same problems, as the BIOS got reset.
First, I went in and re-enabled RAID on the sil3132 controller, and change the boot order to have the RAID voluime be the first boot device, and my other drivers be the next on down the line. Upon rebooting, my system hangs after verifying DMI pool at a blanksscreen for 5 - 10 minutes then gives my the "missing HAL.dll error". if I go back into the BIOS and disable SATA1/SATA2 and SATA3/SATA4 my computer boots just fine. I even completley disconnected my three drives an my system boots just fine. I have searched these forums and could not find anything close to my issue and wondered if it is something I am just missing in the setup. I will say that at POST my IDE devices has always read:
IDE Primary Master [None]
IDE Secondary Master [None]
IDE Primary Slave (my first DVD/R drive)
IDE Secondary Slave (My second DVD/R drive)
IDE Third Master (a 250gb drive)
IDE Fourth Master (a 250gb drive)
IDE Fifth Master (a 250gb drive)
IDE Sixth Master [None]
Is this normal? all my hard drives are SATA. the raptors and three SATAII drives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Since the Nvida raid problem seems to have been fixed (as far as I read) I would like to go back to using the nVidia raid controller. I just need to back up my system first!
Thanks in advance.

Jkmet,
I have noted the same problem, with a USB Pen drive.
If I leave it plugged in and shut down, the next time I cold boot it tries to boot for the pen drive. What I found out the any time you add a drive before booting the BIOS places it at the top of the Hard Drive Priority list making it the boot drive. Same thing happens when I plug in a new SATA and does not mater where it is connected. So, what I have to do any time you add a drive with the power off you have to boot to BIOS reset the Hard drive priority list, then save, exit and reboot to boot from you windows drive.
I am sure this is a BIOS Bug, but MSI states that the way it should would work.

System does not post after Bios Flash

After using Live Update to flash my Bios to the new version, the computer does not POST. The Bios Flash was successful - it rebooted and started normally. When I tried to restart it the normal way, it will not boot. The fans run when the "power on" button is pressed but nothing more. I cleared the CMOS using the jumpers but the problem was not solved. Can any one help?
Can some good Samaritan give me a step by step method to resolve this problem?

I followed the link you provided and managed to resolved it:
1) Removed one memory stick and floppy;
2) Cleared CMOS and rebooted successfully;
3) Inserted floppy and reverted to the previous BIOS;
4) Inserted the other memory stick and brought system back to full power again.
Thank you very much for your assistance. I am sure MSI is aware of the problem and will take steps to rectify it ASAP

HP G62-a22se not booting after bios update

Yesterday, i downloaded an update from HP's site for my bios and since my laptop is not booting. on reboot i see the caps lock flashing twice each 2 secs. is there anything i can do to reflash bios or undo the update?? any help would be appreciated.

Disconnect all peripherals from the laptop. (external drives, mice or other devices)
Remove AC power, remove the main battery, locate and then remove the RTC coin cell battery for 15 minutes. RTC battery is located in the memory module bay on this model, L shaped cover with 2 screws, you will need to remove the main battery before removing this cover.
Put the coin cell back in and connect AC power only, see if it will post the HP screen, if it does Immediately use F10 to enter the bios and set the date and time, save changes on exit.
If it does not start, power it back down, hold all 4 arrow keys down and power it up while holding keys for 2~3 seconds after power up, let up on the keys and wait (2~3 minutes) to see if the bios recovers. If you get the HP post screen, enter the bios and set the date and time before booting into windows.

Help Please - X200 will not boot after Bios Upgrade - keeps asking for power on password

Hi there,
I am new to this forum and please let me say a big Thank You for your help in advance.
I am using a lenovo thinkpad x200 running windows vista with service pack 1.
The laptop has always been running fine and has never given me any issues. Unfortunately, all this came to an end yesterday when I ran the system assistant which did a round of updates and it prompted me to reflash my bios.
I did what was instructed and closed all open applications and after the laptop restarted, there was a noise from the harddisk (the sound was basically like what happens if the harddisk suddenly loses power). Then, all i got was a black screen, no harddisk acitvity with only the power cable LED and another LED (with the shape of a N tiled at 20 degrees) on.
I searched the forum and did what was suggested in this entry: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Blank-screen-after-Bios-Upgrade-on-X200/ta-p/29...
This is what I did so far"
I turned off the power, took out the backup battery and waited for about 30 minutes (repeated this step several times, also removing the harddisk) but to no avail.
I removed the RAM and tried booting and there was that characteristic beeping sound.
I replaced the RAM, redid the CMOS clearing, and now there is the Lenovo startup screen. However, there would be an error code 0271 (no date time) and 0251 (something about default configuration). Then, these disappear and all I am left with is the Bios Power On password prompt. Somehow no matter what I type nothing can be input into the field (and I did not create any password as far as I can remember).
I redid the clearing for the power on password by removing the backup battery as suggested at the bottom of this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-59377 but it is no use. Each time I restart, even if I press the blue Think Vantage button or F1 or F11, I still get the same 0271 and 0251 error messages and am left with the power on password prompt.
I am really desperate as I really like my lenovo x200 and there is important data on the laptop. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this. Its amazing how a simple update can turn into such a disaster. Now i know i should never upgrade or update my Bios (or at least proceed with extreme caution).
Anyone can provide some help to get my laptop workin again?
Thank you very much,
Mark

try reflashing your bios?

Satellite Pro L300 will not boot after Bios update

Help please.
I have just formated a Satellite Pro L300 laptop.
I used all the updated drivers from Toshiba and all went very well.
I then updated the bios with the latest version.
After doing this the laptop will not boot but just keeps scrolling through the start menu and no matter what option I choose it just keeps doing the same thing.
Any ides welcome

Hi
I used the Microsoft installation disk but just keep getting to the same stage until the blue screen appears. I have tried different installation disks and also changed the hard drives as well. I can do everything in bios, change boot device enable or disable devices but that is it. I have tried a few times to instal windows but it just stops at the same point saying windows is stopping instal to protect the system. I fear the bios update has done some permanent damage as I cant get past the dreaded blue screen.Thanks anyway

Help - No Boot after bios flash - p7N SLI Plat.

OK - I have a new P7NSLI Plat that I updated the bios to A738NMS.120.
I however did this using a floppy ie ran the amifud from the floppy and the bios file was on the floppy (this is how I usually do BIOS updates) .. It was only after this and the fact the computer now does nothing after the reboot I found the bit that says do not update from a floppy.
So basically I have a machine that doesnt do anything - you push the power switch and the fans light up and the leds go on but nothing else - no beeps from the graphics card and no POST.
The only thing I can find is a bit in the read me that says if machine won't boot use BIOS recovery method - but it doesnt say what that is.
Help

Please provide full system specs. Read the >>Posting Guide<< first.
Try to boot in barebone configuration:
- no hard drives
- no optical drives
- no peripheral USB Devices
- no card readers
- no add-on cards:
just:
- CPU
- video card
- one stick of memory in first slot
- power connectors
- PS/2 keyboard
Unplug the A/C power connectors from your PSU, then remove the CMOS Battery and let the system rest for while (10-15 minutes), then hit the clear CMOS button at the back panel again, put the battery back in and try to boot.

Not booting after BIOS upgrade in T500

I upgraded my T500 from BIOS 3.09 to 3.18 using the windows upgrade utility (6fuj42us.exe?). The upgrade went fine. I rebooted the machine and got the login windows screen (I have windows XP professional). However, the instructions of the BIOS upgrade called to enter into the BIOS and press the F9 key in order to set all the system defaults. After that the machine did not boot. It gives me the initial windows booting screen (windows flags) and then a blue screeen. I downgraded the BIOS to 3.15 using the bootable CD utility (6fuj39uc.iso?). The downgrade went fine. I can get into the BIOS but have exactly the same problem when loading windows. Unfortunately I could not find a similar bootable program for BIOS 3.09 only the windows executable program (6fuj34us.exe?). Is there any fix other than reinstalling windows? Thanks.

Hi malope,
please enter the Bios and check the HDD is switched to compatible mode instead of AHCI Mode.
Maybe than you can start Windows.

NF980-G65 not responding after BIOS Flash

Before we start I do admit this is my first computer build and I have a feeling that I will have to RMA this board because of the M-Flash disaster.
Mobo: NF980-G65
CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) F3-12800CL7D-4GBRM
Power Supply: CORSAIR Professional Series AX1200
HD: Crucial RealSSD C300 CTFDDAC128MAG-1G1 2.5" 128GB
Video: Onboard for the time being
Basically after fidgeting with the bios for 2-3 hours I found that I was running version 1.1 so I made an attempt to update my bios to 1.4 because in 1.3 they added support for 6 core processors. Well after I forced flash it wont display video at all or power any USB devices. I believe the error message before I flashed it was something like ROM ID miss match? Any suggestions?

I do just have one quick question. I was planning on using the >>MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< to update my BIOS on the new board that I am receiving after the RMA. However I noticed that in the Preconditions & System Requirements it said that Quote
The main precondition for using the tool is a working & healthy Windows installation on the system that needs the BIOS flash.
Is there anyway to update the BIOS on the board with no windows install on that system? The problem is that I cant install windows because the board won't recognize my CPU. Any recommendation would be great... Thanks again for your help!

PC won't boot after BIOS flash

Hi
A few months back I flashed my BIOS to v2.5. Ever scince, the PC has not been as stable, so when upgrading my gfx card, and pc would crash all the time, I decided to revert back to v2.4.
When I re-flashed to v2.4, it flashed OK, but when I rebooted, the D-LED's showd 4 red's. According to the manual, this means that the CPU is either damaged or not installed properly.
The CPU works perfectly, as I tried it in a friends pc, but everytime I turn the power on I get 4 red LED's from the D-Bracket and the machine refuses to boot.
Does this mean the flash went bad? If so, is there anyway to revive a dead BIOS or do I now have a dead motherboard?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Maesus.
I tried the BIOS Recovery Feature, but it did not work. I will try to send it to a place that can recover corrupted BIOS's, otherwise if that does not work, I guess I need a new board then.

Lenovo w510 will not boot after BIOS update

Hi,
This morning I used the windows bios update utility to update my Lenovo w510 type 4318. Everything appeared to have been successful until the machine rebooted. It froze on the lenovo splash screen with text saying to press the blue think vantage button for more options.
I waited a good 30 minutes to make sure it wasn't processing anything before trying again. When frozen pressing the power button cause system to beep two times Pause and beep three more times.
Called Lenovo support and was told since out of warranty (2/12) the onlyI option is for paid mail in repair at quoted maximum of $575. Needless to say I was very dissatisfied - and made this clear to support who informed there was no way to escalate and no other options.
Does anyone have any other options or ability to escalate this case and keep a Lenovo customer. really disappointed
Case #9026SN6
Btw, reason i updated bios to fix issue with usable ram showing 3 gb.
Solved!
