New 915P Neo Board won't boot!

I am in the process of replacing my old PC100 motherboard & Celeron 800MHz CPU with a brand new Intel P4 460 CPU and an MSI 915P Neo Mainboard (MS-1743 Rev. 2B). I also bought a 512 MB 2-DIMM set of DDR400s. I haven't been able to purchase a PCI- Express Graphics card yet, so I am using my old ATI Radeon Rage 6 32MB SDR PCI Card for my VGA. I assembled all of these components with my disk drives (my old floppy and IDE drives-- I don't have any SATA drives yet) in my case with fans and front case connectors for audio & USB, but when I hit the power switch there was a long (like 5 seconds long) low beep, the power LED on my flat-screen monitor would turn green for a few seconds, and then click back to yellow, and for about a millisecond you could hear the PC fans power down, and then the whole process started again with the 5-second long beep, and the whole process would repeat infinitely until I held the power switch down. I have tried everything I've read in the FAQs and support pages (cleared CMOS, unplugged everything from the M/B except ATX power connectors, case power connectors, video card, and keyboard, seated/unseated/switched around DRAM, etc.) but the same thing happens every time I try to boot up! I cannot find an exact match in the listings of Award beep codes, but Award does say that continuous beeping may indicate a memory or video error. Can anyone help me with this?
--Thank you.

Could be a short with the case, i've had this before.
I suggest stripping the unit down and cover all the MB mount points with insultating tape, where you screw the MB in just pop a hole in the tape to screw threw this way there's no shorting due to the extra mounts found on the MB tray. It only takes one to f*ck the whole thing up.
LOL LOL
Thats a good ideal. Ya you could have a case mount shorting out your mobo.
That long beep is normaly a memory problem. you say you have tried differant memory. have you Tried a differant GPU yet?
Also did you get a new PSU or is it the old one you had running the PC100 mobo? if its an old PSU try swapping it out also.
one more thing, is this you mobo "MSI Part No: MS-7143-030 "?

New K8T Neo FIS2R won't post

I have looked at all the other threads in this forum, but can't find the solution.
Specs:
New K8T Neo FIS2R
New A64 3000+
New Mushkin 3500 Level One (Cas 2) 2x512MB
New Antec 550 (24A on the 12V)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
When I give it power, all the fans come on, the 4 LEDs on the bracket stay lit up, and then don't change, but I get no video or any other indications (such as beeps). The 4-Pin power connector, is securely connected in the proper location. The standard ATX connector is also secure. I'd link to a picture to prove it, but my camera is charging right now.
Currently I have only power wires, power switch, system speaker, video card, and 1 stick of RAM in the first slot. I have tried it without the video card, without RAM, with RAM in different slots, just about any combination I can think of. I have even cleared the CMOS a few times. Nothing changes, I always get stuck with the 4 LEDs. I don't have anything connected to the USB headers either (that was mentioned in another post).
I know some people have mentioned that the Antec 550's 24A on the 12V isn't great, but it should be more than enough amps, the way my system is setup right now.

Hi
It does not sound like a major prob, it sounds like a PSU or memory problem, anyway of checking MOBO with another PSU with at least 20A on the 12v. Also check the memory sticky at top of the posts and see if your OK memory wise, another possibility is that one of the mounting screws is tracking from the board - try removing screws and see if it boots, also check none of the cables are touching the case or MOBO.
MOBO and CPU seem fairly resilent, so faulty parts are not to likely, although one never knows. Another thought the Jbat1 Cmos jumper is on pins 1 & 2, 1 is marked on board, and you could try clearing CMOS. a corrupted bios could also cause this.
Best of luck, lets know how you go
Jocko
PS. looking at the stickys at top, Bas has put one there about a compitition by MSI, one of the questions is about Radeons needing extra power( has an April 1st entry date!!), it is worth checking, does your Radeon have its own supply, you could always remove it and see if it boots.
Cheers

New SCSI Hard Drive Won't Boot

Hello,
I have a problem. My original SCSI drive died on me and I took it out and converted over to only ATA drives. Ever since I did that, my computer has always been a bit lagging. Slow. Not too fast. Anyway, I bought another SCSI drive and I'm trying to use that as my boot drive. I used Carbon Copy Cloner and checked "make bootable" in the preferences, but for some reason my computer just won't boot from it. I've formatted it and it shows up on my desktop, but it won't boot. Start. Make OS go boom boom. I would appreciate any help I could get. Thanks in advance.

First of all, thanks for your reply. I appreciate it.
A couple of things. I check my system profiler and I couldn't find out what kind of SCSI card I have. I even opened up my machine and there wasn't any writing on it. So how do I find out what type of card I have? My other question is if the same card worked for the SCSI drive I had before, why won't it work on the new drive. I've set it as the master at the end of the SCSI cord and like I said I used CCC. The drive shows up on my desktop but won't boot. Should I try loading OS from disks instead of using CCC?

HELP - My new Nokia Lumia 620 won't boot up, even ...

I'm worried my Nokia Lumia 620 is a lemon, and the Care Centre will just keep taking it in for repair. The reliability so far has been disappointing, especially as I was giving Nokia a try after a 10 year break, and also trying out Windows Mobile / Phone after a 6 year break. I want to recommend it - I'm continually being asked by friends and colleagues what I think of my new phone.   Nokia will be smart to just replace it.
The details: my Nokia Lumia 620 won't boot up today (again). It hung on boot this morning with the Nokia Logo. That was over 2 hours ago. It had this problem during February, and I returned it twice for repair to the local Nokia Care Centre. I guess I'll take it in again later today, but it just feels like a lemon handset so far.
Timeline:
Handset purchased in local Nokia Store on Jan 29 2013 ( 7 weeks ago)
Handset gave "Exclamation-Mark-Screen-of-Death" on Feb 19 2013 (3 weeks old handset)
Local Nokia Store sent me to local Nokia Care Centre, handed in overnight "for repair"
Phone returned on Feb-20-2013 after software refresh.
Worked fine for 1 week.   Problem returned Feb 26 2013. (4 week old handset)
Nokia Care Centre "replaced motherboard" on Feb 27 2013.
Has worked fine for 3 weeks.   Now Lumia 620 won't boot this morning - no Exclamation Mark, instead it's the Nokia Logo on boot.
The handset is 7 weeks old.
Hard reset (side-button-combination) hasn't worked either.
Any advice on getting this working, repaired or replaced?

Update on the repair - it didn't work. I returned the phone to the Yau Ma Tei Nokia Care Centre on March 20th, and was given what was termed a 'replacement' phone. I was pretty happy. All was well. But two days later when I tried to make a phone call using my headphones, I noticed that only the left audio channel was working through the earphones. I tried a second pair of earphones and the same problem. The audio was only working through the left channel. On a new phone. How strange.
So was it really new? My suspicion is that the repair centre has used old returned parts (parts they perhaps term as refurbished) - so in fact my replacement phone is my old phone assembled with old and refurbished parts. Was it in fact a refurbished phone assembled from refurbished parts? Frustrating when they tell me it's a replacement phone.
That was back in late March. I posted a couple of tweets and Nokia responded. They even phoned me to try and help. However no offer of a new phone. All they suggested was that I revisit the Nokia Service Centre. For a 4th time.
That was about 6 weeks ago, and I simply haven't made the time to go to the Service Centre again. It's hard to find the time when my last 3 visits have been so unsuccessful.
Sometimes you just get a lemon. It happened to me once before with a different manufacturer when I was on a contract and had to live with a phone for 2 years that kept cutting out during calls. Same problem - the manufacturer attempted to repair it, but it just never worked properly. That was 10 years ago. Now it's happening with my new Nokia. Luckily I'm not on contract this time. I've read good reviews for the Lumia 620, and overall it's a pretty decent handset in every other way.
But the issues this particular handset has been plagued with has overshadowed any positive feelings I have been having. I'll probably be cutting my losses and changing handsets in the summer.

New Mobo- Now OS won't boot

Help!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are my specs that i have now:
865PE NEO2-FIS2R
FX5600-VTD256
WD800 (w/ 8mb cache)
Intel 2.6 (Northwood)
300 Watt PSU (i don't know what info is relevant)
Ram 256 (333) i think - I don't know how to check the specs
WinXP Pro (upgraded from 98SE)
Problem:
I had all MSI components before. I brought over the HDD that had XP Pro on it. First time up it just boot up to the Safe Mode screen. 2 Beeps then a reboot to the Safe Mode again, and it keeps doing this. Note: the new mobo didn't do the regular system inventory, proc speed, ram etc. But the BIOS found everything.
Tried a boot disk, it then said that the OS had problems and couldn't boot.
I am a little fuzzy on the BIOS, so if you can help me out. I am not messing with RAID or SATA. Are there any specifics I should know. I did set ram voltage to 2.7.
I tested the Western Dig HDD and with their diag and it came out perfect. I tried to repair XP but it fails everytime. Here is the error that it gives. C:\$WIN_NT$.~LS\I386\asms "One of the components Windows needs to continue setup could not be installed."
I was beginning to think it was Gates' fault (imagine that). But then i dropped in a Win2K HDD that i had tested on another system at work. And the new HDD won't boot up either. It tries to boot up, the Win2K screen flashes and then straight to a Blue Screen. It says "Inaccessible_BOOT_Device"
Help Please!!! Let me know what other info might be helpful.
[email protected]

Well, i did finally get it to take the OS. But it would not boot to the HDD. When you first start up the pc it sets on autodetect of the primary for over 30 seconds and never finds it. You could manual boot to the HDD by a F11. I finally figured out how to flash the bios, so now i am up to date on that.
Now it will boot to the hdd, but it takes over 2 minutes and a lot of just black screen. Is there a setting I am missing in the BIOS?
I am not running any sata or raid configs. Could someone give me the basic setup for this, especially where the ide config is concerned. Or why it is taking so long to boot up. I know it isn't normal for my 1.6 never took that long.
Thanks for all of your help.

Neo-LSR won't boot at all

Hi,
my 2.60C + Neo-LSr + 2 256MB Samsung PC3200 combo doesn't seem to like to work with each other. The fans and chipset light show work fine and the D-Bracket shows 4 green lights, but the screen remains black. It doesn't matter if I use 1 or 2 sticks of memory, it just won't boot.
Is there any general Problem with Samsung RAM and this motherboard ? Any way I can solve this problem ?
Thx in advance,
yoshi

Only way I read here so far was to look for one PC2100 stick,go into bios and set vdimm value a bit up,most PC3200 worked than.
I have Samsung Ram,working fine,but only PC2100,so no compare.

P35 Neo Combo won't boot with Serial Port disabled

Need to disable onboard serial to free up Com1 for new PCI Serial card. Older DNC program needs to use COM1. As soon as the onboard Serial Port is disabled the PC won't boot. Have updated BIOS to latest version. Have seen a couple other people mention this on the net but no solutions yet. Any ideas?

Probably a BIOS bug.
Try contact MSI for on this issue and see if they could provide any fix.

Brand New MacBook Pro 15" Won't Boot from CD only

This Macbook (which I just bought today) seems to refuse to boot CDs.
- Booting from the normal hard drive works fine.
- Loading the CD from the OS when booting from the hard drive works fine (I can interact with the CDs normally)
- Same problem with Apple OS disk & self-burned TechTool Pro disk
I've tried resetting the PRAM three times now. Any idea what's wrong?

Hmm, I hadn't tried booting the system restore CDs that came with it. Turns out they work just fine. The two CDs I was trying to boot (but aren't working) are:
- Micromat TechTool Pro 5.0.4 (self-burned on a Gigaware DVD-R)
- Mac OS X Snow Leopard OEM (bought independent of this machine when Snow Leopard was first released)
I've since tried resetting the SMC by another Apple Support article (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964) to see if that helps. My TechTool DVD still won't boot, and I haven't tried the Snow Leopard disc yet, but the CDs that came with the MacBook work fine.
It's also interesting in "how" it "doesn't work".
(By CD in the following points, I mean the TechTool CD):
1. I insert the CD when the system is running normally. I can install TT, and browse the contents of the CD without issue.
2. I restart the machine, holding down the Option key. Both my HD and the TT CD appear as bootable options. I select the CD.
3. I get the grey Apple, but the "spinning wheel" never appears. After a few minutes, all noise from the super drive dies, and the system sits there interminably.
Both the burned TT and Snow Leopard CDs boot just fine on my girlfriends older 13" white MacBook. Any reason why mine would boot some CDs and not others, when the others boot fine on other systems?

Brand new iMac 27 2011 won't boot after Lion upgrade

Got a brand new iMac 27 2011 yesterday and did an update to 10.6.8 first before installing OSX Lion over it...
After restarting it just shows then the "prohibitive icon" on screen and shuts down after few seconds...
It won't even boot from an USB stick with the OSX Lion image on it...
Recovery partition works but can't do a reinstall from there....
So going back to 10.6.8 now...

Just so you know I purchased brand new imac in July and did the same upgrade as you. I just installed Lion but did not have any issues. Only one concern overall though, it slowed down my new imac a bit. Not sure if there are settings or not but Leopard was faster than this. AppStore, iTunes are eating lot of memory and CPU util goes up.

K8N Neo FSR won't boot.

I've flashed mainboard BIOS using LiveUpdate from v1.6 to latest v1.9 for some reason (CPUID for Sempron 64bit, low DDR speed). Everything ok . Then XP became unstable (blue screens) and finally PC wont boot (one LED is green, nothing appears on the monitor) . Any idea, except to put it back to the reseller, what I probably have to?
Does anyone have the dg. LED description for this board (there's neither anything in my printed manual nor I've found this in the web)? The description was there for older mainboards, why is this not there now???

you did the big mistake if you used live update!!!

K9A2 Plat. board won't boot past NVRAM check

Just updated my K9A2 board from 1.5 to 1.9 hoping to solve some USB issues that were intermittently occurring when I connect my BB or other USB device (it would cause my primary video card to black out, the card's fan would race, thus forcing a reboot; after which it would be just fine).
However, after a successful flash from MSI Live 4 using windows, a CMOS reset, the system will not boot past NVRAM check with the RAID (10) SB600 controller being used. I have seen it pass NVRAM check when the SB600 controller is off. I've even reset the RAID 10 and nothing is happening to get the BIOS past the NVRAM check.
I've also attempted to use the MSI USB flash utility 1.18 however it stalls out 3/4 of the way through on my other k9A2 system (DOS window disappears at the last stage, last DOS box window shown here: https://forum-en.msi.com/moderator/usbguide/guide4.jpg)
My other K9A2 system is at 1.8 and doesn't have the USB detection problems but it has a Sb600 problem in running all 4 discs detected normally (#4 disc always reports in error even though its running fine, could never figure out why it is not detected and have replaced it 2x, rebuilt it other times as well and it changes the failed disc in the array around so I'm thinking its the controller firmware).
With that being said, is there any way around this NVRAM check? The BIOS looks fine in the system and RAID is detected normally and can be built/deleted etc; just this NVRAM check stalls it out.
Please advise.

Have you done this?

Please help - Brand new 8831 conf phone won't boot

Not sure how to troubleshoot these new phones, but when I power the phone via wall power (power cube) or 48v POE, the phone LEDs stay on for a second or two then go out, and then the phone does nothing. No display or additional blinking lights - nothing. At first I thought it was a bad power cube, so I tested on a working POE, and nothing. I'm wondering if this was shipped DOA or what. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
Try the suggestions as per the following post including a factory reset, if it still fails it will need a RMA.

Added new memory, now computer won't boot at all

Hello
I added a new pair of 2*8GB Coursair memory along with my old memory which was 2*2GB, for a total of 20GB Ram. It was working fine for a day (except one random restart), but got steadily worse. Yesterday iMac was shutting and restarting more frequently. I decided to remove the old pair thinking the different brands may be causing a disturbance. I did, but the restarting didn't stop. I removed them again to try put it back more firmly or something, that was the last time my iMac booted. It will show the apple logo, then some short loading bar will come up, then it would promprtly shut down.
I tried putting back my original RAM and it still wouldn't boot. Tried them individually, new old, different slots, nothing worked.
So I guess I damaged my memory slots or all my RAM modules stopped working. Any ideas what to do next? I've already requested a replacement for the new RAM.
Some extra info:
-Old ram was running at 1333Hz and new one was 1666Hz, I tried them together .
-First time I tried to remove RAM, I tried to pluck them out with my hands by leveraging the sides with a small screw driver. Realised I had to pull the black thing later on. Don't think I applied too much force though.

Well, you should not mix different specs RAM. And, it's best to purchase RAM for the very finicky Macs from either OWC (macsales.com) or Crucial which guarantee the RAM to be Mac compatible and offer a lifetime warranty.
I would guess that the new incorrect spec RAM is the problem. Additionally, you might have damaged the slots inadvertantly.
You might need to take it to your nearest Genius Bar for a free evaluation. Additionally, I would return the RAM as not being compatible.

875p Neo-FIS2R - won't boot from CD

I am assuming I had a hard drive failure, but not certain. This was and old (9 years) hard IDE hard drive. My PC would no longer boot, saying "Boot Failure." I was able to boot with the WinXP cd and it did not see the hard drive. When booting with the CD, it took a LONG time to move from the splash screen into the CD boot process.
I bought a new SATA hard drive hoping that would solve the problem but no success. I attached the new drive to SER1. I can see it in the BIOS along with the CD/DVD drive. Both are selected in the boot order, but it will not boot to the CD with WinXP on it. The CD was on IDE 2 master. I moved to IDE 1 master and it made no difference. I turned off the splash screen and it says it is attempting to boot from CD/DVD but then fails.
The CD/DVD drive was just replaced with a new unit in November 2010. The power supply was also replaced in November (430w).
Any ideas? Thanks!

I got it to work. I tried a new IDE cable and that didn't help. Neither did trying to load from a DVD.
Finally, I put an old (broken) IDE hard drive on IDE 2 (CD is no IDE 1, new SATA hard drive on IDE 3). When I turned it on, it was searching for the second IDE master for a while, so I had it abort. It then booted right up with the WinXP CD. The Windows CD then got stuck at one point trying to access the broked IDE drive (just kept making a clanking noise). So I removed the power from that drive and the Windows install proceeded, and now everything works fine. I reconnected the other SATA drives (four in total) now and removed the IDE 2 cable completely.
Any ideas why it worked this way? It seems and IDE hard drive had to be connected to get the CD/DVD to boot. I have not tried booting to the CD again, now that everything is working. I will try that just to see what happens.

[875P Neo Series] Won't boot, 4 burning LEDS

Hi,
My computer, based on neo fis2r 875 with a p4 2.8 ghz 800fsb proc, worked perfectly for 2 years.
Yesterday it didn't boot anymore.
- the d-bracket gives me 4 burning leds (this means system booting?).
- no lights on the mouse or keyboard are burning
- stripped components one after another, same error
- system doesn't give error beeps
- system doesn't give the single booting beep
- no shortcircuit
- every fan in the case is on as usual
Is the cpu or mainbaord dead now?
Any ideas?
Regards,
Michel

If your devices workin properly in other computer, change your mainboard. What PSU you have? it's have Overvoltage protection? If you dont close the PSU when u shut down your computer, the PSU is giving power in all devices and it's dangerous for your computer. I lost my screen like this, but not my computer cause im always close my PSU
im a smart girl
Hey Din,
The pc is equipped with an Antec Truepower 480W PSU.
Is there no chance the CPU is fried? Changing the mainboard is more work then changing the CPU .
