OC Genie...Now Won't Post

I have a P55M-GD45. It worked great until I tried out the OC Genie, now it will not post, no video or keyboard and I can't get CMOS to clear. When I turn it on it stays on for about 10 seconds then restarts itself again. I unplugged the power, taken out the battery, switched the jumper and let it sit for hours. I also pushed the power button to clear the charge. I tried every combination of battery, jumper, power button I could think of all to no avail. All parts are brand new. When the ram is removed get the error beep code.

Thanks

I think your problem is not the OC Genie because it is [disabled] by default.When you already clear CMOS you have the Defaults.
Was the powercord removed when you perform CMOS-Clear?
Have you mindet that the RAM Stick should be in the 1st Black slot(DIMM1)? Have you tryed this also with the second stick?
When you dont have success with this, disassemble the whole buildup, reinsert CPU+ cooler, powerconnectors etc.
Also If possible test another PSU or RAM.
Good Luck

  • FIXED! K8N Plat. SLI: Odd problem Did Reformat Now Won't Post...:/

    Heeeellloo MSI community!      After all the madness I went through; I followed up on wevsspot's link (see his post) & read the bejeebus outta this thread here. 
    NOTE: The above link is for all NForce 3/4 Mobo owners w/ RAID problems attempting a reformat/upgrade using Window's XP and then suffering an UNENDING cycle of "quick-flash BSOD + auto reboot" assualts...! 
    In brief, the solution is:
    1)  Make a slip-streamed OS CD w/ Nvidia's Nforce 6.70 RAID drivers (or latest version) integrated using Nlite.  (not sure about Autostreamer...) 
    -1)  But before that, you must have the latest Bios flashed or these "new" Nvidia drivers won't be recognized during OS installation!
    The link above is VERY informative & I would not be here yapping about if it wasn't for the sleuthing abilities of one wevsspot!   
    Cheers to Indigian & all who've taken the time to post!   
    Evening all.  I usually don't come for help but I feel I've earned a second opinion after working on my PC for 3 days.  After all I've done, this issue is really beginning to worry me.  On Friday I was playing some SP BF2 and then my PC suddenly restarted.  So I started up again & shut down normally and then I fired up CS: Source, after a few maps, another restart. 
    Hmm, then I uninstalled Nvidia's current graphics drivers and installed the previous version.  Tried CS, same outcome.  Well, I have reformated my PC before w/ success so I figured "its been several months" & now this issue surfaces so why not? 
    Well, I backed up and dived in.  Had my original MSI Raid driver floppy ready but there was an error so I followed MSI's directions here & loaded up a new floppy and things went fine (I tried both versions- the version at that link & the most current Raid driver version, 5.53 via Nvidia's site.  However, for both versions, the file "nvatabus.inf" in which MSI claims to be there is no where to be found).  Now fasy-forward to the 1st Window's loading screen (loading bars...) after OS installation, I see a BSOD flash and then restart, and restart, etc...
    Facts & POE attempts in no particular order:
    -My Bios is the original, 3.1.  Apart from the problems I've read here, I have never upgraded it being that I've never really had to.
    -I've noticed that rite after OS installation, where I see my status of my Raid config., the version is still 4.81...     & then, the damn restarting begins...
    -I have tried switching serial ports from 3 & 4 to 1 & 2. Also disabling the unused ports in the Bios after switching.  As I switched ports for the 1st time, I even deleted my Raid config. and built a new one.
    -I have tried unpluging my pata cables, unpluging my USB devices, & unseating my memory as mentioned in a several threads I read here about seeing a BSOD just before Windows loads.
    -Whenever I reformated, I had to remove one of my BFG cards and thus "flipping" over the SLI chip on the mobo.  I learned that XP wouldn't load my SLI rig on its 1st run...
    -I tried installing XP originally w/ SP1 or slipstreamed w/ SP2, no go.
    -Inbetween these hairpulling attemps @ process of elimation, I tried just one of my Maxtors w/ no floppy help and it WORKED.  So that points me to this being a Raid issue.     
    I apologise for the wall of text.  I think I have tried all avenues to getting this odd problem fixed.  Any advice or instructions would be great.  Thanks for reading.

    Cowbell,
    During your chipset drivers update (or even possibly during the Windows OS install routine itself) you may have corrupted your original Raid Array.  My suggestion would be to enter your Raid Setup Bios and delete the existing array the build one from scratch.  If you have another computer, extract the RAID drivers from the original MSI setup CD that came with your motherboard and put them on a floppy.  Or if you so choose you could use the RAID drivers from a later chipset driver pack.  I'll leave that up to you.  After you rebuild your RAID array, turn off computer, turn off power supply, remove power cord from power supply,remove m/b battery and move CMOS jumper pin to the clear position.  Leave it like that for at least 10 minutes.  Move CMOS jumper back to save position.  Reinstall motherboard battery and connect power back to your power supply.  Reboot and enter BIOS again.  Re-enable the SATA or IDE ports you are using for your array, enable RAID in the BIOS.  Exit, reboot and enter RAID Bios setup again, make sure your RAID array is present and make sure it is set as a bootable ARRAY.  If everything looks good, reboot once more and enter BIOS.  Make sure your RAID array is showing as a bootable device.  Do the normal stuff such as making sure your optical drive is set as the first boot device etc.
    Save, exit.  If all goes well you will  be prompted to press F6 to install 3rd party RAID drivers upon the initial Windows OS installation routine.
    Good luck.

  • Q150 randomly freezes, now won't POST

    Hi guys - we have a Q150 that we're using as an HTPC/NAS on our network. It has two external USB drives connected, one of which is HFS+ (with MacDrive running to read it), both of which are shared on the network for our WD TV Live to access. Recently it has started to freeze up completely, requiring a hard power cycle to restart. Frozen mouse, etc - just totally locked up.
    Now, it will power up, the power LED comes on, and I hear the CPU fan running, but it doesn't get any further. No POST, no BIOS stuff, nothing. No beeps either.
    This makes me think CPU, memory, or MB. What do you guys think? Unfortunately I don't have any spare parts laying around to test this since the Q150 is so proprietary, other than the memory.

    Well, after waiting a few hours, the computer booted again, and made it into Windows. Then about 4 or 5 minutes later, it froze again. Tried to boot, and it made it to the Windows startup screen, then froze, with the HDD LED still blinking. Tried to boot again, and this time it's back to the first scenario - no POST, no beeps, nothing. What could cause this kind of behavior? It's definitely not a heat issue since the computer had only been on for a few minutes when it froze, and the case was completely cool to the touch. But why would it fail to boot/POST, then make it all the way into Windows just by waiting a few hours?

  • Z87M Gaming Mobo - BIOS Update and now won't post

    Hello all...
    Firstly I have had a read through the messages here and it is looking like I may have damaged the board by attempting a BIOS update using the update tool in the BIOS!? 
    Anyhow here is what happened......
    I setup my system below and everything was booting happily with no problems at all.
    I could not seem to get my SSD to be recognised by the mobo (windows install could see the SSD but could not install OS as mobo controller did not recognise it).  I downloaded the 1.2 version of the mobo BIOS, extracted this to USB drive and used the update feature in the BIOS to flash.
    I selected the option for BIOS and Management Engine and the BIOS upgrade reported successfully flashed. The PC re-stared successfully a couple of times but on 1 boot it said it was updating or flashing the Management Engine, a percentage bar completed and that was the last time the PC booted successfully. 
    I have tried clearing the CMOS using the CMOS clear button and the CMOS jumper but this has made no difference.
    The power is there and the PC switches on but it wont post and is showing nothing on the debug LED's.
    I have tried removing all components but same outcome.
    The PSU is brand new and the fact that everything was working fine before the flash update (including the Gskill RAM btw) I feel the flash has caused this.
    However, I would very much appreciate some advice from some experienced MSI mobo users 
    Thanks

    remove power cord from the PSU and do >>Clear CMOS Guide<< again
    then try to boot with barabone setup
    I did try this with just the board and nothing, no post at all :(

  • Blew dust out of 790X/GD70 system now it won't post.

    I built my system about a year ago, slight OC, ran for a year with never an issue. It was dusty so I opened the case and blew the dust out as I have normally have done hundreds of times but now my system will not post. The first time I booted after cleaning it showed the mobo splash screen but instead of continuing to boot it stuck on that screen so I held down the power button and restarted it. Now it just sticks on FF and won't even post.
    I tried reseating the memory, video card, etc but now it just won't post. Anyone have any advice? If I remember correctly the code FF stands for fully functional, correct?

    I just use a regular air can
    That would be fine. The reason I asked, is sometimes people use air compressors and those actually have the potential of causing static discharges, over and above dirty particles being blasted at the board.
    A complete check of all your component seatings and electrical connectors is advisable. The reason I suggest taking out your MB is that something may have gone behind the board, causing a short.
    Good luck

  • 790FX-GD70 Won't Post

    I bought the 790FX-GD70 in January and I'm just now finishing the build (don't ask).
    I waited to buy the CPU until last, so I got the X6 1090T. The current BIOS is 7577 1.0 and I have every intention of updating it to 1.C as soon as I can get to the BIOS, but no luck there. I have it bare bones right now and out of the case. Parts list:
    790FX-GD70 BIOS ver 1.0 (I know, I need to update ASAP)
    Phenom II X6 1090T
    Corsair H50 CPU Cooler
    Corsair Dominator 2GB DDR3 1033MHz (in first slot closest to CPU. The box says AMD Phenom II right on it. Grrr...)
    Corsair 850HX Power Supply
    It's right here in front of me out of the case, lying on my desk.
    The problem is, it won't post. This is what I get:
    FF,d1,d2,d3,d5,d6,08, then it resets, FF,d1,d2,d3,d5,d6,08, reset, etc. etc.
    All the CPU phase LEDs light, memory LEDs light, and the hard drive LED lights right before the board resets.
    Any help would be awesome. I'm lost. Thanks.

    what vga you have?
    have you tried to boot with barabone setup and mainboard out of the pc case?
    tried >>Clear CMOS Guide<< too?
    power cable for the cpu is connected?
    have you tried to reseat the cpu too and check for bent pins?

  • K9N Neo-F, just over a week old and now won't boot.

    Having trouble with a new build using a MSI K9N Neo-F motherboard.  I suspect my Motherboard is faulty :( and plan on sending it back to Newegg for replacement unless someone has something else for me to try.  Here’s the original configuration:
    MSI K9N Neo-F motherboard (MS-7260 Ver 1.0 w/ 1.3 BIOS)
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ (65W – 2.4 GHz Windsor ADO4600CUBOX)
    Gskill F2-6400CL4D-2GBPK (DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 @ 1.9~2.0V)
    Gigabyte GV-NX76T256D-RH (GeForce 7600 GT) video card
    Rosewill AP-500X (3.3V 30A, 5V 45A, 12V 22A)
    NEC ND-3520A CD/DVD Burner
    Seagate ST3320620AS SATA2 hard drive
    For the first few days, everything appeared to work ok (though I had to leave the SATA 150 compatibility jumper on the hard drive in order for the motherboard to recognize it  ).  After day 3, it started locking up randomly (no blue screen) and restarting automatically, both while under high load and virtually no load at all.  Past day 5, it’s now to the point where it locks up even in the BIOS, and that’s only when I can get it to POST (otherwise, all I get is fan spinning and a blank screen, not even a beep).
    The first thing I tried after day 5 was replacing the PSU with a Silverstone SST-ST56F 560 W PSU I have on hand for another build (this PSU is extremely well made and heavy by the way :smiley: ).  I figured this 560W monster could easily power the setup above, however the setup remained as unstable as ever.  I did notice in the BIOS while looking at the voltages before it locked up that the Vcore is jumping all over the place, from 1.240V to 1.372V!   I’ve built a fair share of A64 setups and never seen anything like this before.  It seems to point to a failure of a power regulator on the motherboard, just hope it didn’t damage my CPU as a result.
    Next suspect was the memory, which I memtested overnight on another AM2 board and passed with no errors.  However, I read on a few other forums that the nVidia 550MCP chipset on the board doesn’t like RAM with a Tras under 15, so I swapped the RAM for another set of Gskill I had on hand (F2-6400CL5D-1GBNQ, DDR2-800 5-5-5-15 @ 1.8~1.9V) and reset the CMOS.  Unfortunately still no luck, it won’t POST half the time and when it does, it locks up less than a minute later while still in the BIOS.
    My last shot was removing the 7600GT video card and replacing it with an old Matrox Milenium PCI one I had laying around.  My theory was not only to eliminate the video card from the list of suspects, but also the high power draw on the board that PCIe video cards tend to have.  However, it still fails to POST half the time.  Does anyone have any suggestions of things for me to try before sending back?  Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for quick replies guys!  
    Bosskiller - Yes, I tested both memory kits on another AM2 motherboard (Asus M2N) for ~24 hours each and both passed with no errors.  I tried setting the Vdim to 2.1 volts in the BIOS (while I was still able to get it to POST fully), but no luck.  However, since it's gotten very unstable and I reset the CMOS, the Vdim is probably back at the default 1.8 volts.  If I could just get it stable enough to make changes in the BIOS without it locking up, at least that would be an improvement. 
    BAS - As mentioned, I tried using a Silverstone 560W PSU I had on hand with no luck either, that's when I noticed the big fluctuations in Vcore.  Speaking of which, are such fluctuation in the Vcore normal?  I've read several contradictor forum post on the topic and don't know if this is "normal" behavior for the k9n neo-f.
    Thanks again in advance.

  • I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out

    I have a 5th gen that won't display any video out. I've tried 2 different splitter cables out of the earphone jack. I've tried plugging the RCA cables into different colors on the tv. Thought it was just a problem with the cables until tonight when I got a Sonic Impact V55. Video won't display on it either. I have the TV setting to ask. After it asks and I say yes, I get a picture of an Ipod cable connector and a message saying: TV OUT
    ENABLED Please Connect Video Accessory.
    This message happens on both splitter cables and using the dock connection on the V55. I've restored, reset, nothing has helped.
    I did see a couple of posts regarding the V55 and whether the 5th gen would work on it. Does anyone have a v55 that the ipods working with? Heck the box says it works with Ipod 5th gen.

    Yes it does, on the 5th generation (pre-Classic) models, the video does indeed feed out the headphone jack (as well as out the dock connector on the bottom).

  • PSE6 now won't launch. Any ideas?

    My PSE6 was working and after some cleaning on my XP at a shop, PSE6 now won't launch. Any ideas?

    Hi,
    Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
    Solution 1:
    1. Close Elements.
    2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
    3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
    Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
    Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
    Solution 4: This would work for your PSE6 also.
    On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
    Go  to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements  10\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain  plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere  else.
    Now launch PSE and check if it works.

    2 weeks ago PC would do nothing at all after I turned off and then tried to restart.  Thought I had bad power supply, but it checked out. Cleared cmos  by removing battery and turned off oc genie and that seemed to cure problem.
    Left PC on ever since.  Had to turn off yesterday to check unrelated network issue and when I tried to restart It won't post.   Just get 3 beeps.  No video.  Nothing.  Tried to clear cmos, switch memory sticks, only use one mem stick in slot 1 and I get nothing but 3 beeps.  Very unlikely that both sticks are bad.  Tried powering on from internal switch and got nothing but 3 beeps.  Beeps are less than 1 second in duration so I guess they are short beeps.   
    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    I am ready to toss this board and buy another unless I can get this working.
    At the moment there is know certainty about the definate cause for your problem.  What makes you so sure that the board is the cause (and not your CPU (which hosts the memory controller, after all), faulty RAM sticks (have you tested every single stick of RAM you have in the first slot (check user manual) and cleared CMOS (with A/C power cable unplugged from PSU before each new start-up attempt)?).
    A contact problem between CPU Pads and board socket pins could also cause this (please reseat CPU and heatsink).  Another possible cause is a short-circuit problem inside the case (test the board outside the case on a non-conducting surface).

Maybe you are looking for
