P35 platinum combo will not boot windows after bios update via Live Update

Hi,
I had everything running on windows 7 fine until 2 days ago.  I installed Live Update from MSI website.  I was about to install driver updates for my motherboard, but the bios update went instead.  my pc tried to restart after the bios update installed, but it failed.  would not post and would only see black screen.
then i removed one of my memory sticks.  it would post, but then windows would not start up.  it would get stuck at windows loading screen.  i tried to reformat with my windows cd.  but during install it would blue screen of death me.  i tried multiple times and it would always blue screen of death with different errors.  the last one i remember was a message saying i should off turn shadowing and caching.
this all started happening after i attempted bios update via Live Update.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • K8N Platinum SLI will not do anything after BIOS upgrade! HELP!

    Hi guys,
    I just upgraded my BIOS version using MSI Live Update. I rebooted the system, checked my BIOS settings and proceeded into Windows. Windows re-detected some hardware and said I needed to reboot. Instead I decided to shutdown completely and then power-on again.
    However, the system will no longer display anything! All the fans come on, and I can hear my HDD power-up too, but nothing is displayed on screen and there is no HDD activity. The LEDs on the D-Bracket are showing 1.Red 2.Orange. 3.Red 4.Orange.
    I have disconnected all hardware except my main HD and Graphics Card and reset the BIOS. I did the by using the button and by removing the battery for 10/15 minutes or so. Still no change!
    I have also tried re-seating my Graphics card and RAM, but since I only rebooted - I don't see how anything could have come loose...
    Please help me to diagnose the problem.
    Thanks!
    P.S. I do not overclock at all.

    The only guy I know with an AMD x64 PC lives too far away for me to just pop-over and check the components. My local PC store would charge an arm and a leg to check the PC out and I'm not even sure I would trust them to do it right. As for Best Buy, we don't have those over here in the UK.
    I have an Antec Neopower 480, which is still powering all my case fans and HDDs.
    I am almost certain that the Motherboard or Processor is at fault, so I have ordered a new MOBO. If that doesn't fix it, then I presume it will be the Processor.
    I think it must have been something to do with the BIOS upgrade, it can't just be a coincidence.

  • Satellite M60 will not boot up after BIOS update through windows

    Hi all,
    I was updating my bios on my M60 with the latest bios version and I was following the windows flashing procedure (the recommended one) and it blue screened and dumped. Now the laptop wont boot, wont even post. Just a big dead brick :(
    I'm fairly proficient with hardware (I'm a software engineer) but I do not know how to reflash a laptop when this sort of thing happens. Is there a trigger bios reset on board? Is there anything I can do my self? If I take it back to my dealer how likely is it they will be able to reflash the bios in house? (Its a fairly large dealer in the Toronto area)
    This being a work system I need the solution that has the smallest time impact - cost is not too big an issue.
    Any help would be grand,
    thanks in advance.

    Hello Kristan
    According to your problem description I presume the BIOS chip is damaged and unfortunately you can not do much alone. Please contact Toshiba service and explain them the situation. They will explain you everything you must know and you can talk with them about costs and the time they need for notebook repairing.

  • Computer will not boot up after OS 10.4(intel) update

    I received a pop-up today that indicated updates required for iTunes, Quicktime and the OS. I believe the iTunes and Quicktime proceeded with no problem. The OS update (which had Intel in parenthesis) was a huge download and after a long period of time I received a message that download failed, file moved to trash. Also received prompt to Cancel or Restart. I selected restart. The computer never rebooted it is perpetually displaying the apple symbol in the center of the white screen with a cursor indicating loading. I shut the power down manually several times but to no avail. Is there some kind of key to hold down to go into safe mode?

    OK, I used my MAC OS X install disk to get to the Disk Utilities. I ran verify disk check and repaired a minor "Volume Header" issue. This did not solve anything. I can choose to restart by the Install disk or the installed 10.4.11 OS both fail to start. Is it necessary to re-install OS X?

  • Windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.

    windows xp will not boot up after installation of desktop software 4.3.  Where do I start to get my p.c. going again ???

    I get the message that a recent hardware or software change might have caused this.
    The computer does not boot up in safe mode or last known good configuration.
    I'm glad you think the software has nothing to do with it, but perhaps you can also explain why this problem started as soon as I downloaded the desktop software and tried to restart the computer.

  • Macbook will not boot up after running Software Update

    My MacBook will not boot up after running Software Update (Security update + Java?) earlier today. I have only the gray start up screen + Apple logo + gear wheel constantly rotating. I have tried restarts several times and tried to start up from my original system DVD - this makes no difference.
    I called Apple support, tried resetting the power and PRAM - still no difference. He had no knowledge of other problems reported; although I note recent post may have same issue.
    I cannot get an appointment at my Apple Store before Monday.
    Any suggestions?

    Still no success. When I hold down the option key when powering up I get the hard disk icon plus arrowhead (only). When clicking the arrowhead it goes to the gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.
    This happens both with DVD in slot and without DVD. the DVD image is not coming up on screen. When I start up without DVD the hard disk icon appears promptly. When I start with DVD in the DVD is spinning for a short period before the hard disk icon appears. On clicking the arrowhead to hard disk icon the DVD spins again for a while then stops. Apart from the DVD spinning, both situations result in gray screen + apple logo+ rotating gearwheel.

  • Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.

    Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.
    The following happens.
    1. Speaker light lit (Green)
    2. Phone displays a firmware upgrade page (see attachment) for a few minutes. (Doesn't seems to be upgrading, but it "saids" upgrading)
    3. Saw Cisco logo with a Java Powered page.
    4. The whole thing loops again and again...
    I think the reason why the phone isn't booting up is because the phone needs to know where to find the configuration/firmware files from a tftp server. I do have a TFTP server, but normally I need to go in settings to change the alternative tftp server, but the thing is that now I can't even press the settings button...
    Please help.

    How many phones were reset and upgrading at one time? What is the setting of the TFTP Maximum Serving Count (Advanced TFTP Service Parm) on each of the TFTP servers?
    Sounds like too many devices trying to use TFTP at once.

  • Hard drive detected but will not boot Windows Vista or recovery disk

    Hi,
    I have a very similar issue with a HP Pavillion a6355.uk, the hard drive kept crshing windows and then it finally just kept getting pass the HP boot menu options, and then all I get is the DOS "@press ctrl+alt+del to restart".
    The hard drive is detected and passes all the tests, after pressing F9, going into the F10 options. F11 does not do anything, so cannot recover windows/the system.
    I have tried changing the SATA connections on the motherboard, no difference. I tried the recovery boot disk I created when it was working and it will not boot with the old or new hard drive I bought to replace it (same size and compatable).
    I cannot find where to partition the new hard drive or format the c: on the old one (it had D: for the recovery, but as it won't boot, cannot access this).
    I have also tried the HP website to dowload the drivers for the new one, but the page does not load up to show any drivers or Windows to download.
    http://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/HP-Pavilion-a6300-Desktop-PC-series/3644673/model/3671505/driver...
    The next page just keeps looping or not proceeding when I put in details.
    I can’t find anywhere to get hold of my copy of windows vista for this PC or get a disk to re-install on a new drive or fix the old detected drive, can someone please help!!

    Just what size HD and is the drive Sata II or Sata III?
    Vista 32bit .iso    You must have a valid installation key, which should be on the COA sticker on the computer, to activate the installation once it completes.  ImageBurn to create the .iso disk.   Driver page Vista (not 64 bit)

  • Macbook Pro Will Not Boot Windows Disk

    I have a late 08 (or early 09) Unibody Macbook Pro 2.53Ghz. I start the Bootcamp Assistant and successfully create my Windows partition. When I restart with the Windows 7 disk, I get a blinking cursor for 1 second then it goes to a black screen and never leaves. I have tried several different Windows 7 disks with the same result. I have even tried booting from a Windows Vista, Windows XP and even a Ubuntu disk all with the same result, stuck at a black screen.
    I took the hard drive out of this mac and put it into my wife's older Macbook pro, and it booted off the Windows 7 disk and completed the install to the drive with no issues. I then put the hard drive back into my Macbook Pro and get the same black screen when trying to start the Windows partition, and still have the same problem that it will not boot from any other OS disk be it Windows or Ubuntu. It boots from OS X DVDs without a problem.
    Also several months ago I had a Windows XP installation on this computer with no issues. I wiped it just before going to Snow Leopard.
    Any clue as to what is going on here?

    What is really odd is if I take my hard drive out of my Unibody Macbook Pro and put it into my wife's non-unibody Macbook Pro, it boots the Windows partition with no problem (Remembering I previously swapped these hard drives to complete the Windows installation to my hard drive). Seeing as the disk boots on her machine fine and not in mine, and my Windows cds (DVDs) boot fine on hers and not on mine, it seems to me it's something specific about my machine, but I can't imagine what it is.

  • G4 will not boot up after installing latest update

    Just installed latest OS 10 update (10.4.8 or 9?) Mac will not boot up. The ring sounds on start up and the apple shows on video but it never gets to the rotating circle. It has been over an hour. I have restarted twice to no avail. I have also disconnect all peripheral. Do you have any suggestions as to what to do next?

    Hi-
    Welcome to Discussions!
    Try a boot in safe mode (startup holding"shift" key after chime). This will help determine if you have conflicting drivers, fonts,etc. present, and helps bypass damaged software components:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393
    If successful, run Disk Utility. If not, try a single user boot, and run fsck:

    Alternatively, boot from your OS install disk, and run Disk Utility.
    Post back with your results, please!

  • Device will not Boot up after a battery pull.

    Hi guys, today is my first time using this website and I also registered today so I am very much NEW here.
    I live in Jamaica and my service provider is Digicel Jamaica. My phone is out of warranty by 6 months now as it was purchased 1.5 years ago from Digicel through my company that I was working for.
    I have a Torch 9860 with OS version 7.1. 
    Two months ago while charging the phone with the charger that was supplied from the manufacturer, i realised that the phone had become very hot and as such  i removed the charger and let it cool via removing the battery cover, at that point i realised that using the keypad to type messages the slightest tap of any letter resulted in that letter either not responding or it would give me multiples of the same letter , which prompted me to tap delete  which would either delete the whole word or sometimes just the letter. at other times, the keypad would work just fine. the battery also did not keep charge for more than a few minutes, and upon inspecting the battery realised it was swollen, as such I had it replaced with one purchased from my Dealer which solved the issue of not holding a charge, but the keypad was still behaving funny as previously explained above.
    My major issue I am now facing is I did a battery Pull anf after replacing the battery, the Phone will not boot up, no blackberry logo with the load bar being displayed, the phone appears to be dead. the battery indicator light is blank even if the charger is connected. This occurred once  about a week ago and after several remove and replacing the battery it finally booted up and worked, but did another battery pull two days ago and it still will not power on.
    Please Help, can you advise me if this is a new issue or what needs to be done. I am thinking as a last option to replace the entire board, but out here in Jamaica, that is a very costly option.
    Thank you for taking the time to review this, any help or guidance or feedback will be greatly appreciated. 

    Hello Jamaikhan
    If this happened to you because your problem is that is nuked stay dead ...
    I can relive through using programs like BBSACK to apply a Wipe
    You must download the OS from your Blackberry 9860.
    Having the Desktop Manager installed on your PC ...

  • G4 Will not Boot Up after Quick Time 7.1.6 Upgrade

    I upgraded the most recent Quicktime update last night and opted for System Shutdown afterward. This morning the machine will not boot up. It goes to the Apple and the swirling circle for up to a half hour - still no luck.
    Any ideas?
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Are you sure it was just the QT update? Security Update version 1.0 came out about the same time. It has since been pulled and replaced with version 1.1 following some users experiencing issues (although 1.0 worked fine for me). 
    Try booting into "Safe Mode" (hold down Shift during start-up) and see if it will allow you to run Software Update again.
    Failing that Barry's suggestion of an A & I will undoubtedly do the trick.

  • Ipad will not boot up after 7.1.2 update

    updated to 7.1.2 yesterday and I pad will not boot up. it turns on and I get the logo but will not completely boot back on into home screen. I tried hold both button down and it would turn off but when turn on it did the same time.  let it run all night while plugged in to see if it would boot but would not. don't want to have to restore because of loosing all my data I have on ipad.  What can I do?

    If the reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears does not help, there is not much you can do except restore via the recovery mode per the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
