New Build hangs at VERIFYING DMI POOL DATA

I put it all together and try to load the XP OS, but it hangs at Verifying DMI Pool Data.......(NTLDR is missing)
Have rechecked the cables and connections a half dozen times. (All new cables)
Checked and rechecked the boot order.
Disconnected the floppy.
I tried swapping to another HDD with a SATA, but I don't see it recognized during post, and I still get error message.
I put in an XP ms-dos starup floppy and it says update success, but won't system file transfer and goes back to the original error message.
What's up here?
I little surfing lead me to this link http://www.duxcw.com/faq/computer/dmi.html
which says a possible cure might be clearing the CMOS.
I supposed that's done by changing the jumpers right?
But, I have searched this website and can't find any Bios downloads for the K8N Neo2.
If I clear the CMOS I'll need to DL BIOS again right?
I am sure the original V1.A is outdated anyway.
Suggestions? I don't want to go rooting around and changing things and make this worse.
This is my 2nd build and the 1st wasn't easy either.

thanks......got the startup screen back but,
I am right back where I started.....Hangs at Verifying DMI Pool Data / missing NTLDR.
I did not install a new hard Drive, but a good pull from my old system.
Drive contanins data, but I should be able to format during OS install right?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

yes just BOOT from CD and reinstall XP... better reformat partition which contains XP. if you have important things on this partition not only OS move it to secondary partition or to other HDD.

975x stuck at "Verifying DMI Pool Data"

Hey-- I just replaced my stock intel heatsink with a new Noctua NH-U12F. It requires a backplate, so it takes unbuilding and rebuilding your computer to put on.
Somewhere in the rebuilding process, something went wrong. My boot process gets stuck on the "Verifying DMI Pool Data....." stage. It has never done this before. I pushed the BIOS Reset button and it didn't fix it, i'm running BIOS 7.0 (stock)
I'm looking at it right now it's been there for a good 2 minutes

Thanks in advanced, you guys always help me out tons

yeah that's what i meant by bios reset button
i poked around online--could be a million things
so i tried them one at a time, it was my HDD boot priority out of order.

WAT DOES "VERIFYING DMI POOL DATA" MEANS?

i bought a sempron 2800+ and my msi motherboard is k8m800-ce from newegg and i set everything up i hope. when i boot up it was sloww and then after awhile it boots up faster. i used an old hdd from my old comp (ata-133) wd 80gb. i tryed to format but it wont let me do the commands. maybe i need a new hdd? i restarted the computer and see wat happens, it keeps on sayin "VERiFYIN DMI POOL DATA" what does this mean? rite now im goin to buy a maxtor 100 gb sata/150 and see if that will work. im installin win98 se then winxp. anyone knows wats teh prob? or if anyone else bought the same cpu or mobo have had these prob?
i have a 512 corsair memory pc3200, and one burner.

Clear CMOS Guide - read that for how to clear the CMOS, and refer to your manual for location of the CMOS jumper (JBAT1)
did you do (or attempt) a fresh install of Windows?
best to just do a clean install of XP, rather than install 98 and then upgrade

Can't get past "Verifying DMI Pool Data"

Hello forum folks, I'm hoping you can advise me on my problem. Here's my setup:
MSI VIA K8T800 K8T Master2-FAR
Dual AMD Opteron 240's (not overclocked)
ENERMAX 550W Power Supply Model "EG651P-VE(FMA)"
Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800XT Video Card, 256MB DDR
Corsair XMS Extreme Memory Speed Platinum Series, Low Latency (Twin Pack) 184 Pin
1GB(512MBx2) ECC Registered DDR PC-3200
Asus Black 16X DVD-ROM Drive, Model DVD-E616P1 Black
VANTEC Nexus Fan Controller Panel Model "NXP-205-BK"
with 5 Coolmax Chameleon LED cooling Fan, Model "CM-825-CL" connected
Western Digital Raptor 36.7GB 10,000RPM SATA Hard Drive, Model WD360GD
SONY Black 1.44MB 3.5inch Floppy Disk Drive, Model MPF920
When I first turned the computer on, my floppy wasn't being recognized, but the computer did get past the DMI verification. However, since my floppy wasn't working, I couldn't get Windows XP to install since I didn't have the SATA drivers. So, I fiddled with the floppy cable until it worked. Once I got the floppy working, the computer would start hanging on the DMI verification. So I unplugged the floppy but it still wouldn't go. I scanned the forum for ideas and tried clearing the CMOS and setting the BIOS settings to both the optimized defaults and the fail-safe defaults. I haven't yet had the time to unplug each device individually, nor have I unplugged every device. I'm wondering if anyone has any other advice. I'm hoping I won't have to RMA the board, but I will as a last resort.
Thanks for any help.
Edit: Forgot the PSU, heh.

UPDATE:
Okay, I've tried unplugging individual devices and it seems when the Raptor SATA drive is unplugged, it will get past the DMI verification, but when I plug the drive back in, it says, "Updating ESCD ... Success" and then hangs after the DMI verification line. I've tried switching from legacy power to SATA power, reversing the SATA cable, plugging the SATA cable into SATA1 and SATA2 on the MoBo and none of that has worked. Do I have a bad HD or am I still missing something?

Solaris 8 x86 Hangs on reboot with Verfying DMI Pool Data

I've just installed solaris 8 on intel. I previously run 2.7 on same system no problem.
After installing 8 and rebooting the machine hangs after displaying
Verifying DMI Pool Data .........
It appears to of verified, but then does nothing else. I have checked all components are compatible (supported), tried differing rebuilds, upgrading from 2.7 However every time I get the same problem.
Any ideas?
alan (every).

Green,
I need you to think really hard here with me...what was the last program, piece of hardware you loaded into the machine? I've seen this problem so many times and it will drive you wild...you're having a driver or software issue during bootup and it's hanging the system..
What I would do is see if I can get into safe mode by hitting F8 as the system starts up...if it will boot into safe mode then go uninstall whatever the program is that you installed last or uninstall the drivers of whatever hardware you installed last...
Then try rebooting again normally...
I'll warn you now that I've only been successful in doing this when I've rebooted the system twice prior to trying this fix...if you rebooted more than twice it will corrupt your MBR and you'll have to FDISK and start all over again...
Insert your boot disk Win98SE preferred...select Boot from floppy with no CDROM or Network...
Type FDISK at the A prompt...go in and delete the non dos partition...DON'T CREATE ANOTHER PARTITION OR FORMAT THE DRIVE...
If it's a Western Digital Drive go to their website and get their Drive Utility tool and run it on the drive...
If it's a Maxtor go get Powermax from their site and run it on the drive...
Do same for any other mfg drive i.e. Seagate, IBM or whatever...
THEN if it passes the tests with no errors use the drive to reload your OS again...THIS TIME load your drivers one at a time, same with your software...Do a system restore point prior to each load...this way you can easily undo whatever fails if anything...
Hope that helps!
Cheers!! 8)

DMI pool data clicks at K8N neo2

I have neo2 mainboard
I have updated the bios to 1.8 version (the former was 1.5)
now when I restart the computer a "verifying DMI pool data" message appears which is followed by several 'clicks'
what is it and how can I silence those clicks?

Hi! From where do these "clicks" come? I have the Neo2 and Bios V 1.8 and I get clicky' wid' it too... Mine seem to be coming from the drives, like an old school floppy seek sound, try disabling boot-up floppy seek and listen to the results...

Bios issues with k8n neo2, turn of memory test, and dmi pool data

Hey guys.
I recently flashed my bios to the 1.9's for the K8n neo2 running in my main machine.
Everything went ok for the most part, though i had some issues with boot record, and boot.cfg file. That stuff is all worked out now.
However, with this bios, I constantly get the extended memory test, on my 2 gigs of ram. The old bios i had, 1.4's, didnt do that. Is there an option to turn that off? I cant seem to find it any where?
My 2nd question is this, after this bios upgrade, my verifying dmi pool data takes longer then it used to, if it even did it before, im not sure, because my boot sequence was much faster.
How can I get rid of the "verifying dmi pool data" or speed it up?
Thanks guys

Tried to used the Bios 1c by Syar's. His bios is nice and easy. Maybe bould solve your problem.BTW do used liveupdate to flashed your Bios or is it manual? Stay away from using liveupdate as it causing a lot problems. Manual is the best way. Refer to my sig for the manual flashing. Here's the location of the files for the Bios 1C. Gd luck.

Dad needs Help, 180 New Install- Hang on Verify Pool DMI

Trying to build a new system with my son, he has put it together (with supervision) and I can't get the SW to load.... So not looking too good right now...
Bought a Mega 180
Amd Sempron 2400 proc
Segat 120G Drive
Sony DRU-540 DCD+-RW/+-RCD Drive
Corsair 512Mb (2 DDR-Dims)
Assembled the machine. Went smoothly, needed to reseat ram simms once. Got the system to boot to bios. Windows xp pro failed to install. Friend had a set of dev discs and had a made me a copy and given me one of his licenses. Install had started and hung on loading before being asked for serial number.
On reboot system hangs in bios screen with
Verify DMI Pool ....
What to i do next? thx in advance

I would suspect you have another computer. If so download the lastest BIOS for it from the Msi web site. Then useing a USB key or connecting a floppy drive then flash it in DOS.
The floppy connecter is on the mother board just no cable, also by default the floppy drive is turned off in BIOS so you will need to enable it.
If you are going to use a floppy disc to reprogram then do a full disc scan on the disc with the drive you will be using, the last thing you want is to have a bad disc. If you do have a bad disc and you only find out during flashing then keep that machine turn on and with you other PC load the BIOS on another disc and try again (don't turn it off).

Almost new build hangs on Starting windows 7 screen

I "upgraded" an old build with the motherboard and processor. I have the OC genie selected in the bios. Without reformatting my drive I started to have a hang on "windows is starting". If I rebooted and ran a repair it would usually work, but the next time I reboot I had to run the repair again. Sometimes I get this error, sometimes I do not. I decided to reformat and do a clean install. I am still getting the hangs.
Specs:
Mobo: MSI Gaming z87 GD65 (updated to 1.2 bios)
Processor: i7 - 4770k w/ H50 water cooler
SSD: 512 GB vertex 4
Video Card: 2x GTX 780 acx cooler evga SC
Power supply:Corsair 850 TX Bronze
Ram: 16gb (4x4) Corsair Vengeance 1600
Internet: AC66 internet adapter
Mouse/Keyboard: Roccat Kone/Isku
O/S: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
Old build was
Processor: i7-2600k
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3
Video Card: 1x GTX 780 acx cooler evga SC
Everything else was the same parts
Here is what I have tried.
1. Updated BIOS
2. Reformat/fresh install with USB iso downloaded online. (3-4 times)
3. Startup repair/restore system image (sometimes works, sometimes doesn't.)
4. Re-seated Memory
5. Tried a 120gb Intel SSD (520)
Possibilities?
1. Power supply is having issues? Is 850 too small? I read another article where some people replaced the PSU and it fixed their issue. This power supply worked with my old mobo/i7-2600k, so I don't think this is the issue, but it could since the 780s are overclocked and the processor is overclocked to 4.0 with the OC genie.
2. Windows update? After my fresh install, I usually didn't have any problems until I installed windows updates, BUT, I only updated a few and restarted a few times to make sure it worked. I installed the updates and it worked fine for a few reboots, then this morning I checked and it's hanging again. This also wouldn't explain why it was working before I put the new mobo in, as it was up to date.
Any ideas or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm pretty tech savvy and I don't normally ask for help on forums, but this issue has become out of my hands. Thanks in advance.

I've heard some people replace the power supply. I use the Corsair TX 850. I don't mind buying a new one, but I don't want to waste time if it's not going to fix anything.
Is the PSU on the Corsair Website's Z87 compatibility list? I'm using a Corsair AX850W currently with the Z87 MPower Max, all seems to be ok after a bit of an OS loading debacle was overcome.
Why the graphics cards manufacturers didn't use a VBIOS that works for both Legacy and UEFI (GOP) I'll never understand!
Maybe for testing, try using a regular 'spinner' HDD with the OS on it?

Verifying DMI Data Pool

There's not a lot of info to work with here. But here goes;
First I would recomend opening the case and checking that all cables are where they belong (check the Manual) and that they are well seated. You might want to remove then replace each end of each cable (one at a time) while you're there.
You might also turn on the power and check if all the fans are running and if the hard drive spins up.
Try booting up.
Secondly, try reseating the Memory and CPU. (again, check the manual)
Try booting up.
Third, clear the CMOS (manual)
Try booting up.
Fourth, turn on the power, hold down the 'Delete' key to enter the BIOS, go to 'Load Fail Safe Defaults'. At this point your system should ask you if you are shure you want to do this. Click 'yes'. Hit 'F10' to save your change then eigther the 'y' or 'Enter' key depending on your bios.
System should reboot on its own at this point.

Hope this helps.

PROBLEM : BUILDING DMI POOL -WITH- K8N NEO4 PLATINIUM, Ultra nForce 7125

Hello
Problem with motherboard K8N NEO4 Platinum!!!
Description - BUILDING DMI POOL
Configuration:
MOTHERBOARD K8N NEO4 PLATINIUM, Ultra nForce 7125
AMD Athlon 64, 3700, Socket 939
Video: ASUS Carries to an extreme N6200TC, 256 RAM
2 JIG RAM Kingston PC3200 CL3 184-PIN DIMM KIT(2 PSC) model: KVR400X64C3AK2/2G
Power Supply RAIDMAX +24 PIN +4 PIN CPU+SATA 450W
I want to initialize the PC from the CD to install WIN XP, I can change the beginning sequence FROM the BIOS configuring the CD like first device, but from the menu boot with F11 I cannot change the boot order, this fixed one in the +HHD
Already change for several HHD, CD and Power Supply but the continuous problem!!!!!!!!!!
I believe that it is a problem with the CMOS it already cleans it from the reset button and it doesn't pass anything!!!!!!!
Thank You, for your help…

Borger_Montr,
The think you problem maybe the +12V@22A on your Power Supply, I highly recommend a Minimum of 28-30A and I repeat minimum.
If I am right you can prove it this way, you say you cannot even boot from Floppy drive or CD.
Leaving you case sides off unplug all of your case fans, power supply, CPU and motherboard Chipset fans are all you need if your turning it on for a short test.
In addition, Unplug all drives except for the floppy drive.
Then, insert a bootable disk into the floppy drive.
Boot the system, it should boot from the floppy with no problems.
If it boots from the floppy, you need a new power supply and when buy your new PS total power is a useless number. The +12V output current rating the one to look for on a single rail supply like you have now again 30A Minimum 35-40A would be better, on multiple +12V power supply each rail should be rated at 20A Minimum. I do not care how many rails you has each must have 20A or more. Another thing to make sure of make sure the power supply has all the correct cables and connect you motherboard and Graphics cards. Each graphics card and all of the power connectors on the motherboard should have there own cable with correct plugs that connect directly to the Power Supply. For no reason should you need any power cable adapters, all that means is that power supply was not meant for your system.
If you need any more details of instruction or I did not explain something well enough that you understood completely, please reply and ask pacific questions.
Roger
When submitting a problem, include a complete list of your system components; include part numbers, all Power Supply Voltages, and their output ratings. It is almost impossible to estimate what your problem is without knowing something about it.

Building DMI pool. & ms-6330

Hello!
I have the K7T Turbo (MS-6330) MB with an Athlon at 1200 MHz
The problem is that i cannot make it boot...i always get this message- Building DMI pool. and the computer seems to crash
trying to solve th eproblem, i already cleared the CMOS, but this did not solve the problem...
i have deconnected everything in order to make all simple...the hdd, the floppy...and now basically it's just the processor, the MB, the memory, and the video board...but nothing...the system freeezes...i tried to load fail-safe defaults, i tried to load optimized defaults, but the system still freezes...
any ideeas how to solve the problem?
thank you

Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 05-March-06, 18:44:47
Hello!
This is where I'm at too. :(
It is not easily solvable, at least not here. Hopefully it is that CMOS don't like where it finds the bootable disk.
Enter BIOS if you can. Select "None" for all IDE devices. Disable primary cache. Save&Exit. Reboot, to get a CMOS error. Don't enter BIOS. Power off and unplug power cable. Clear CMOS once again. Connect the Master disk, but nothing else, to the primary IDE slot. Start up again. This time enter BIOS and do proper changes for time, hard disk etc.
Good LUCK!
(If this doesn't work, use Windows CD for booting device and do a repair install.)
but i do not at the moment where he would boot....it just freezes after showing the table with devices and irq's...after that it wites Building DMI Pool and stops...
nothing happens
what do you mean by disabling memory cache?how do i do that?

Brand New Build - Completing Installation Hangs

Hey Guys,
I just bought all the following components for a new build:
Gigabyte GA 965P-S3 MOBO
Intel Core 2 Duo E4300 (1.8Ghz)
1GB (2x512) Corsair DDR2 (667) RAM
200Gb HGST SATA300 HDD
256Mb XFX 7600GS GPU
Pioneer DVR-112DBK
And...Windows Vista Home Basic.
OK, so hardware wasn't a problem, had everything hooked up and neat within 2 hours.
Plug in the power and turn it on (it's alive!) with the Windows DVD in the drive, and boots to Vista installation...choose language/enter product key/accept licence blah blah...Copying Files...Expanding Files...Installing updates...computer reboots, back to installation.
Now the problem, the installation screen comes back up and displays ticks by all of the previous steps, and has the Completing Installation unticked and the three dots...waiting...waiting...waiting.
And thats it, Vista installation will go no further than that. Have left the installation on overnight and nothing happens. The HDD light will flicker every so often, and stay on constantly for a few seconds and then go off for ages.
After a while, I got fed-up of waiting, so I installed XP Pro and that worked first time like a charm, setup was complete in no longer than 45 minutes and within an hour all drivers had been setup.
I can't think why anything would impeed the installation, everything was spec'd to work with Vista.
I have tried 'unplugging the monitor cable' and toning-down the bios settings, but there was still no joy.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I found a simple way to do things, and have done some home work. I found out that most of the systems that are having problems with Vista are not realy Vista ready. I have a laptop that was not build for Vista I have installed Vista premium edition on it. With the help of the guys at Munksupport Their service is free just clcik on th elive help sign on the right.
But here. all we have to do is get standard hardware devices, most of the newer hardware devices are not ready and if you are going use brand new hardware devices, get ready for a lot of hard work. I use to have problem with application not working properly, as The guys at MunkSupport proved, the older hardware devices that you are able to find drivers for under XP, that worked will work under Vista.
If you are not able to configure an XP system by going to the manufactures website and downloading and having that device running under XP forget trying to run Vista on that device. Most of these new devices will wirk well under XP because XP have drivers for thsoe devices in its drivers folder, C:\windows\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab. Most device drivers are found their, that's why when you install some devices you do not need to install the drivers for it. Windows will find the device and install it for you.
The disk tha came with the device are often time updated drivers that ad functionallity to the device. For Vista they are not ready, that why we are having so many problems, their are confliting applications, and no one was ready for Vista release. Older hardware may give you a slower performance but they are the working ones.
When you install Vista, it reorders the driver.cab folder, they calle it the driver store now. and most of the support for thsoe drivers are not in that store for the newer devices. also due to the great amount of security they place it this Vista system, Most drivers wont work. Here is why
Most drivers will try to write in the Kernel area are RAM directly, But Vista have no heart for that, that's why everything you do under Vista you get that popup that asked you if you want to continue.
Simple, If you can configure the device to work and run undeer Xp chances are it will work under Vista.
To test this out her is what you do. Under XP remove the drivers for your hardware devices except for your video and Network adapter, make sure you have backup. Visit the manufacturers website download the drivers and setup each device, after yo have down so get a windows update and see if thsoe devices still work. then install SP2 and use the system fro a few days, then install all of windows updates. see if any device fails, or if you run into any aspplication poblems, if so run another windows update, sometime updates mess upi your system. take note of everything you do then upgrade to Vista. If all things work out well
for information visit Munsupport.com, and ask thsoe guys they know their stuff. Some things may take a while to solve, but it's free and they get back to you.

Apple TV .. verify my account data on my computer before purchase.

Why does Apple TV need me to verify my account data on my iTunes account before purchase? I don't have to do this with iPad or iphone. It is a nuisance, especially if my wife is making the movie decision since she doesn't like to go into my laptop data to enter my credit card info.

The iTunes music store makes you verify your account any time you are connecting from a new device with a new account. It is to prevent credit card fraud. As long as you are not chaning the account used you should only have to do this once when you first use a new device.

BT Infinity for new build

Hi,
I've tried searching the forum but can't seem to find posts that are related to my situation.
Basically I'm moving into a new build. There isn't a phone line yet. The postcode checker doesn't think BT Infinity is available, so I can't order.
