New GTX 770 in existing system won't boot

So I thought I upgrade my PC with a brand new MSI GTX770. The system just won't start. Screen shows B2 in lower right hand corner and a solid cursor upper right. After a while the cursor starts blinking and B2 dissapears. Still a black screen. No possibility to enter bios, no bleeping, all fans are spinning.
When I put back in my good old MSI GTX580 all is fine again.
I am an advanced (MSI) user but never ever experienced this before. Highly frustrating and surely no plug and play experience. What to do? Underneath you'll find my systems components:
OS: Microsoft Windows7 64bit Home Premium Gold (SP1)
SSD (boot): Samsung SSD 840 EVO 250GB
Memory: Corsair Vengeance BLUE,1600-8GB KIT
PSU: Cooler Master Silent Pro M2 720WATT
Mobo: MSI Z77A-GD65, s1155, 4x DDR3, 4x SATA-300, 4x SATA-600
BIOS Version Mobo V10.1/21020208
VGA (new): MSI Geforce GTX 770 2Gb
VGA (old): MSI Geforce GTX 580 1,5Gb
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570K, 1155, 3,4GHz, Box
CPU Cooler: Scythe Mugen 2 Rev. B
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB - 3.5inch
SSD: Crucial m4 , 128GB, 2.5", SATA 600, SSD
DVD: Sony Optiarc DVR DL 24X,SATA
Casing: Corsair Graphite 600T
PS: I did not manage to find a similar problem on this forum let alone a solution to it. I tried BIOS A vs BIOS B to no avail. Somewhere else I read I may have to flesh the new cards BIOS but how to do so if I cannot even get it to work?
Any help is welcome!

Today I received the following I was like really???!!!!
"Dear Sir/Madam,
Thanks for contacting MSI Technical Support Team!
Regarding your concern, there are many possibilities on why the system could
not boot up. Therefore, would you kindly please refer to the suggestions below to
troubleshoot the issue?
1) Unplug all the components and devices on the MB, and then reinstall the CPU,
RAM (one piece), VGA card and power supply only. Please add some thermal
gel on the CPU, and then reinstall the CPU fan correctly and tightly.
2) Clear CMOS (How to clear CMOS, you could refer to the manual), and then
enter bios to Load Optimized Defaults->Save & Exit.
3) Try to boot up the minimum system. If it still cannot boot up, please change
another more powerful power supply for a try;
4) If the problem still persists, please change another RAM with different brand to
try.
5) Please confirm the processor installed is compatible with the MB as well as
the BIOS.
6) If these attempts above does not work, we have to suggest you contact your reseller (The place you bought this MB from) and have them test the MB completely for you to check if this MB is faulty or not, then ask for some help.
If the reseller for some reason can not help, you could try to contact MSI distributor from below http://www.msi.com/service/wheretobuy/ near your place or MSI office from below http://www.msi.com/about/contact-us/
Best wishes,
MSI Technical Support Team!"
So adding a MSI card to my MSI Board mean I have to brake down all of my system, even remove my CPU (running fine) and buy some thermal gel. And while I am in the store buy a more powerful powersupply (mine already meets the specs) and/or ask my reseller to help me out checking if my motherboard (working fine) is faulty?
Well I just RMA'd my 770. So much for plug and play; even MSI parts are not compatible. A real bummer.

  • New GTX 770 freezes/crashes

    Just bought a new GTX 770 popped in it and installed the drivers. Before I installed the drivers everything was running smooth. After I installed the latest drivers I keep getting freezes and crashes. Freezes last about 1 minute and then my machine just turns off. I tried previous versions and still getting freezes and crashes.

    Not quite throwing down on a PSU. It's almost most important part in the PC (#1 is motherboard) so this could've been a bit better choice.
    I suggest you speak to a friend/colleague and ask if you can test your card in their PC (as long as their PSU is of some better brand, or at least known to work with higher end GPU).
    At last, I recommend Corsair and Seasonic's power supplies. Proven to work really well. From Corsair CX, RM and AXi series are best in my opinion.
    Ah I see. Yeah my current PSU was a gift from a friend and it worked great with my 7850 which I upgraded from. I just meant that I didn't want to buy a whole new PSU if that wasn't the problem. I'll definitely take a look at the ones suggested.
    I appreciate the replies.

  • System won't boot-no chime.

    Despite repeated attempts and resetting the CUDA button, the system won't boot when start button is pressed. In the first few seconds it seems to make normal sounds; but no chime and settles into simply fan noise. This is true even if using C (with an Install CD). or Shift key. Is there anything else I can try? (I know it's actually a G3 B&W Motherboard; but I had nowhwere else to post it)

    I do not remember exactly what was happening when it stopped. It may have been executing something , hung up, and wouldn't respond to the Command-Opt-Esc or I do remember one incident when it was booting up and stopped when it was partly thru "searching for local discs.
    I checked the ref. article and tried to measure the voltages on the power connector. I was never quite sure what pin was what, since the colors did not jive with those in the article. At any rate 2 were approx. + 5 V (one was 4.85), the rest were essentially zero (I believe 1 or 2 were about 300 mv). I did notice that when the power connector is reconnected and start up is attempted, 3 little green lights come on on the motherboard. One goes off after a while.
    I have tried the old Sonnet upgrade and have tried reseating all the RAM modules. All to no avail.
    The Hard drive and all other parts seemed to be working fine prior to the failure.

  • System won't boot. INIT: No inittab file found Enter runlevel:

    After the latest update that changed how intel ucode is updated, my system won't boot.
    I think I missed a line when I edited "/etc/grub.d/10_linux" and ran grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg.
    Any ideas on how to fix this?
    I can't run grub-mkconfig from another machine, as it uses the live kernel info.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Otherwise I'll have to reinstall

    It seems to me that you've an old Arch version. inittab is deprecated AFAIK.
    What is the Arch iso version?
    That would probably be mid-2012 at the very latest I think as that's when I remember completely moving over to systemd...
    @SyXbiT: Are you using the current Arch install ISO?

  • System won't boot up

    Help please. I have a kt6 delta running an athlon 2700+ xp chip, 512 mb ddr 400.
    When I set the fsb at the correct speed for the chip (166) the system won't boot hard drive led lights up constant. dvd drive  and cd-r drive each run but the system won't boot.  system seems to run fine at default and 133 mhz but the chip is incorrectly identified in windows (xp pro sp1) Any Ideas whats wrong?

    Hi -   I have the same board with the same processor, I have not problems rebooting after changing the bus speed. But I have had problems rebooting after adding in any card PCI or AGP. the system seems to have trouble clearing the Cmos, I would try clearing the CMOS with  the JBAT. it doesn’t always seem to work but I have had some luck, though I have also pulled out the battery a couple of time too..
    Good luck!

  • Upgrade from snow leopard 10.6.8 to montain lion on a iMac system won't boot getting a crossed out circle

    Upgrade from snow leopard 10.6.8 to montain lion on a iMac system won't boot getting a crossed out circle

    Clean install OS.10.6.8 update it completly. May be you ignored some firmware update.
    I have two incedents.
    My thunderbolt port stopped working after upgrading to ML 10.8. I booted from external 10.6 , 10.7 still didnt work. Then i clean installed 10.6.8 and ran software update it updated the thunderbolt firmware and all is well now. This firmware update for some reason didnt show up in ML 10.8.
    Secondly , when i upgraded my Brother's Macbook from 10.5 to 10.6.3 it would install but stuck with crossed out circle. Then i downgraded checked for update found an efi update , then the 10.6.3 worked fine.

  • [SOLVED] Switch to systemd - Now system won't boot

    I saw that todays update upgrade included the installation of systemd. I looked the wiki and did the necessary changes (I already had made the /etc/hostname etc. files). So I added the
    init=/bin/systemd
    line to grub and now my system won't boot. I get an error saying something about syslog service not enabled and then a black screen. I can boot my machine fine without the "init=/bin/systemd" line but I want to run a pure systemd system since Arch is moving to it anyway. In the wiki it mentions to install systemd-sysvcompat but it conflicts with initscripts it says. What am I doing wrong or missing?

    Is LVM handled automatically by systemd? The reason I ask is because I have the USELVM= set to YES in rc.conf.
    I made the permanent transition to systemd and did not start alsa at all - sound works fine - so I never bothered with the alsa-store/alsa-restore service files at all - it just works! Also dbus gets handled by default in systemd so you don't need any starting of dbus service at all... it just works.

  • Btrfs: System won't boot anymore after unclean shutdown

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my ArchLinux (kernel 3.19.2-1-ARCH).
    I have my root partition as BTRFS and no /boot partition.
    After an unclean shutdown the system won't boot anymore.
    GRUB loads the kernel and the kernel starts but it hangs saying: Mounted /dev/sda3 on real root.
    Then, I have to start a Live CD and do:
    btrfsck /dev/sda3
    After that the system boots correctly.
    I've tried adding fsck to the HOOKS in the mkinitcpio.conf file and in fact it tries to fsck the filesystem (but with BTRFS, fsck.btrfs doesn't work...)
    What can I do?
    Thanks

    I'm also having this problem. I tried booting up the netinstall image to debug it, but I can't mount my btrfs volume from there either: mount just hangs. After a while, the kernel goes:
    [...] INFO: task mount:612 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
    [...] Not tainted 3.19.2-1-ARCH #1
    [...] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
    [...] INFO: task btrfs-transacti:636 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
    [...] Not tainted 3.19.2-1-ARCH #1
    [...] "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.
    From this post I guessed that I might just need to wait so that I could defrag the volume once it was mounted, but it's been hanging for over 15min now (the message above continues to come up periodically).
    Like the OP in the thread I linked to above, my btrfs volume is inside an LVM volume (which is on dm-crypt). Don't know whether that's relevant.

  • Help needed with my new GTX 770 4GB OC card settings

    Hello everyone,
    I'm new to this forum so excuse me if this subject already been bought up,
    i have recently got the msi twin frozr gtx 770 4gb oc edition,and I'm not happy at all , as the box did not come with a manual on how to get the oc mode active etc,
    the software cd that came with it has a gaming app + msi afterburner so i have installed everything, and i open the gaming app, it gives me a silent mode + gameing mode + oc mode, so i click oc mode for example and all it gives me is 1254MHz  so i run afterburner i see that my temps reaches 50c + and i try to control the fan speed of my card but the gaming mode doesn't allow it to adjust to 100 % fan speed , anyway enough said let me go to the main part, i have got the kombustor running and done some tests, i found out that i have been getting low fps with the 1254MHz and my voltage clock is 1.2v ... i used to have a gtx560ti and the gtx770 fps is the same as my old card    this is jokes , now i wished i didn't even buy the gtx770 its expensive for nothing,
    and the thing that makes me  is that msi didn't put any info manual in the box apart of how to install your graphics on the motherboard,
    by the way my PC specs are:
    I7 4770K @ 4ghz
    16gb corsair ram @ 1600
    TX850 corsair power supply
    i have the latest graphics drivers installed , got it from nvidia website (327.23) for the gtx770
    by the way the kombuster score i was getting was 190 fps
    with physx on, and no anti aliasing,
    here's my picture of the clocks I'm getting currently
    could anyone out there that have the same card is mine confirm that my card is normal ?
    or is there something i need to download or get to make my fps stable as it should be for this card ?
    oh and i forgot to tell you that my friend has also recently got this card and is also stuck,
    hes got lower mhz than mine and lower voltages like 1.8v or something 
      I'm sure that theres something that we haven't done to get the best out of this graphics card
    its one of the best graphics card out there,
    anyway enough of writing up an essay    waiting for someone to help me out
    many thanks in advance
    Regards

    the memory clock is right as its GDDR (Graphics Double Data Rate) so it has to be doubled making it 3506 x 2 (3506+3506) total of 7012Mhz (advertised GDDR5 7010MHz Memory)
    as for you low FPS its more then likely a driver problem as nearly all GTX 770's are having issues and reporting low FPS you could try other drivers from Nvidia's like the lower ones or the newer Beta Driver 331.40 and see if it makes any difference!

  • My system won't boot past POST after I plugged in my new SATA drive. (SATA noob

     
    I have a MSI K8n Neo 2 Platinum mobo with a Athlon64 +3500 and 1gig dual channel DDR 400. I currently have 2 drives set up a IDE primary (MAxtor 6Y120) and a IDE slave (Maxtor 6L080).
    I recently purchased a Maxtor DiamondMax 10 6L300S0 300GB Serial ATA 7200RPM Hard Drive w/16MB Buffer.
    It is my first SATA drive ever so non the less I am a newb. I want to use it as a non Raid media storage device while my primary IDE remains my boot OS drive.
    I plugged the SATA in to the sata one port and powered it. I enabled the SATA in the bios with RAID disabled. When the system boots up it does the memory chech and lists all the IDE devices. Then it says "Detecting IDE drives..." and just hangs there. The new drive spins so it definatly has power but occasionaly it make occasional clicking sounds.
    Once it actually booted up and windows detected it. I decided to reboot it just to play it safe but it never would get past post screen again. I can boot up the system normally when I unplug the SATA cable.
    Please help I need to know if I am doing something wrong or I should RMA the drive. THANK YOU!

    Boot stalls in bios at Raid setup. Tried enable raid with no drives enable , system booted twice, turned off overnight, then failed to start the next day. Will only restart with a cold reboot. Hot reboot produces a long BEEEEEP & power is on but nothing happens no post nothing.
    SATA drive was taked from a working system (ECS 755a  - AMD 64 3000 - PATA 200 / SATA 200), configured 40/160 40=OS Winxp 64 / 160 = data. System will not boot if this is the sole drive connected.

  • Please Help: Installed new CPU (i7) now system won't boot.

    I'm hoping someone can help.
    I have an MSI H55M-P31 (MS-7636) motherboard, and I updated the BIOS to 1.A0.
    But when I installed the new CPU, I get 3 Long beeps, and then my computer won't boot.
    I have 4Gigs of Memory
    Current CPU: (working 100%)
    3.07 gigahertz Intel Core i3 540
    64 kilobyte primary memory cache
    256 kilobyte secondary memory cache
    4096 kilobyte tertiary memory cache
    64-bit ready
    Multi-core (2 total)
    Hyper-threaded (4 total)
    500watt PSU
    Please Help, I don't know what to do now. (did check CPU compatibility on website - i7870)

    What PSU is that and what are the ratings of that PSU ? See the label on the side.
    Are you trying to use the onboard graphics?
    That CPU does not have integrated graphics.  http://ark.intel.com/products/41315

  • New HDD installed in PowerBook G3, won't boot from installation disk.

    I just installed a new hard drive in my G3 Wallstreet and I can't get it to boot from the original Apple CD.
    I've tried holding the C key as well as +⌥+⇧+⌫, but to no avail.
    The CD tests fine in my old iMac G4, so maybe the culprit is the optical drive, but then again, I'm not so sure.
    Is there a way to either boot my PowerBook or install OSX from my iMac G4?
    Message was edited by: rick268 Also, I can boot into Open Firmware just fine.

    Thanks for your help.
    WeLoveMacs wanted $50, but I just scored an entire topcase on eBay for $15, shipped. We'll see what happens.

    In the years of keeping the old soldiers almost relavent, I ran into a "won't boot from a system disk" issue on two of them. In both cases, replacing a dead PRAM battery fixed the issue. Don't ask me why but that was the only thing that fixed them.
    When I was supporting those, you could still get new Wallstreet batteries from Other World Computing. Today they no longer show them. I'm not sure where to steer your for a new one. USed batteries are like used chewing gum, IMHO.
    You can try disconecting the wire from the PRAM battery to the logic board. That might help. Requires some take-down:

  • System won't boot. Could really use some help here.

    I have the K8T-Neo FISR2 mobo. When I set up the system, the SATA drive was set up as drive F: (onto which I installed Windows XP Home). I added a 2nd SATA drive later, and it became C:. Both drives are plugged into the Promise SATA ports. The system has been running fine for about a year now.
    I was having a problem with a program not running properly. I stopped the process and tried to restart it, but it didn't work. It was a program that drives my Logitech gaming keyboard (with LCD screen). After I rebooted, the system would load windows, then after Windows was loaded, it would load up a program when I went into it and crash. It looked like it would crash on PXHELP.DLL (something like that). I booted up into safe mode, renamed the file so it wouldn't load, and now it won't boot at all. It starts to show the Windows logo and then instantly reboots. I can't even get into Safe Mode as it does the same thing.
    I tried booting from an XP CD to do a repair, but when it boots, it doesn't see the hard drives. I downloaded the Promise drivers, put them onto a floppy, and load them as Windows is booting from the CD. It seems to load the drivers, but when I choose to do a repair (or even a new install), Windows comes back and tells me that I have no hard drives attached to the computer. I just can't seem to get Windows to see those hard drives!
    I could really use some advice here......

    Try swapping the Drive Cables. You may have one that is not engaging as well as it should.
    When I let the PC boot up like normal (without booting from the CD), it sees the drives and Windows tries to load, so I don't think it's the cables. I'll make sure they're reset, but I really don't think that's it.

  • New FX5900XT in Asus A7N8X mobo won't boot.

    Got a new MSI FX5900XT card yesterday, popped it into my PC this morning and it won't boot or even post at all.  No error beeps, nothing on the screen.  The monitor does "wake up," so it's sensing a signal of some kind, apparently.  I've seated and re-seated the card, booted repeatedly, and made sure the 12v power connector is securely plugged in.  I've been building my own PCs for about 12 years, and I've never had a video card just...do nothing.  My relevant system specs are:
    Asus A7N8X (non-Deluxe) mobo rev 1.04 w/latest v1007 BIOS
    AMD Athlon XP2700+ CPU (not overclocked)
    Corsair XMS PC2700C2 333Mhz RAM (1 stick, 512 megs)
    eVGA GeForce4 Ti4200 128-meg video card (4x AGP version)
    SMC EZ Card 10/100 SMC1211 NIC
    Western Digital WD1200JB 120-gig HD
    Western Digital WD2000JB 200-gig HD
    Panasonic LF-D321 DVD burner
    LiteOn LTR-32123S CD burner
    nVidia nForce audio (onboard mobo)
    ViewSonic G790 monitor
    WinXP Home w/SP1 and all updates
    Enermax EG465P-VE power supply (431w):
    +3.3v @ 38a
    +5v @ 44a
    +12v @ 20a
    -5v @ 2a
    -12v @ 1a
    +5Vsb @ 2.2a
    I've Googled the Web and searched here and haven't found a solution, though I did see messages from a couple of other users with similar problems.  The Ti4200 card works fine, and I've tried the FX5900XT card in another computer with the same results.  Any suggestions, other than the obvious (DOA & RMA)?
    Thanks,
    Goncalo Alves

    Probably, but it's a 2nd PC with the same type motherboard, an Asus A7N8X.  I was hoping someone with this same mobo could tell me that his card worked with that setup.  I have a 3rd computer in the closet with an ECS K7S5A mobo, but I'm not inclined to drag it out.  In any case, I've already gotten an RMA from New Egg, and I'm sending the card back tomorrow.  It's not a piston engine, after all; it's only got one moving part, and the fan is spinning away just fine, and I've pretty much exhausted all the trouble-shooting possibilities, so the card must just be defective somehow.
    Thanks for the reply.

  • [SOLVED] System won't boot (boots fine in fallback mode)

    HI guys,
    I just rebooted my headless server for the first time in a while, but it won't boot up.
    I just sits at this screen:
    Please note the system does boot using fallback mode.
    (also, nothing to do with the latest boot problem - systemd-sysvcompat is installed and boots fine in fallback)
