P35 Platinum unable to boot Acronis 11 after BIOS upgrade to 1.8

Hello,
Using P35 MSI Platinum edition, Core Due 2 Extreme edition 2.9Mhz 1067FSB. After upgrading the BIOS to v1.8 the Acronis True Image v11 wont boot I get bank screen. I tried to boot Hirens BootCD v9.3 and I got continues beeps. I tried several way resolve the problem, first I disabled the bios boot sector protection, then I tried to enable AHCI mode but that did not get the Acronis nor Hirens BootCD to work.

If you are trying to boot from an IDE DVD drive, I guess you have the same problem as THN and me. I have the same "beeps", even with bios v1.1, 1.6 and 1.8. I was lucky to buy the board with a SATA DVD writer, so I can boot from this now. In the end, I think that the criticized JMicron controller that has my 975x PowerUp is better than this Marvell controller (what makes the matter worst, is that this is the ONLY ide controller on the P35...)

Help Please - X200 will not boot after Bios Upgrade - keeps asking for power on password

Hi there,
I am new to this forum and please let me say a big Thank You for your help in advance.
I am using a lenovo thinkpad x200 running windows vista with service pack 1.
The laptop has always been running fine and has never given me any issues. Unfortunately, all this came to an end yesterday when I ran the system assistant which did a round of updates and it prompted me to reflash my bios.
I did what was instructed and closed all open applications and after the laptop restarted, there was a noise from the harddisk (the sound was basically like what happens if the harddisk suddenly loses power). Then, all i got was a black screen, no harddisk acitvity with only the power cable LED and another LED (with the shape of a N tiled at 20 degrees) on.
I searched the forum and did what was suggested in this entry: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Blank-screen-after-Bios-Upgrade-on-X200/ta-p/29...
This is what I did so far"
I turned off the power, took out the backup battery and waited for about 30 minutes (repeated this step several times, also removing the harddisk) but to no avail.
I removed the RAM and tried booting and there was that characteristic beeping sound.
I replaced the RAM, redid the CMOS clearing, and now there is the Lenovo startup screen. However, there would be an error code 0271 (no date time) and 0251 (something about default configuration). Then, these disappear and all I am left with is the Bios Power On password prompt. Somehow no matter what I type nothing can be input into the field (and I did not create any password as far as I can remember).
I redid the clearing for the power on password by removing the backup battery as suggested at the bottom of this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-59377 but it is no use. Each time I restart, even if I press the blue Think Vantage button or F1 or F11, I still get the same 0271 and 0251 error messages and am left with the power on password prompt.
I am really desperate as I really like my lenovo x200 and there is important data on the laptop. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this. Its amazing how a simple update can turn into such a disaster. Now i know i should never upgrade or update my Bios (or at least proceed with extreme caution).
Anyone can provide some help to get my laptop workin again?
Thank you very much,
Mark

try reflashing your bios?

Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install fix does not work?

Hello:
After running Software Update, I am unable to log in.
I found the following support article:
Mac OS X 10.5: Unable to log in after an upgrade install
Article: TS1543
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1543?viewlocale=en_US
However, upon step 8 of the instructions, the following error appears:
delete Invalid Path
<dscl_cmd> DS Error: -14009 (eUnknownNodeName)
This is actually after an update (not an "upgrade"), so I'm not even sure these are the appropriate steps.
This is the second time that I have been unable to log in after an update. The first time, I attempted to reset the password with the installation DVD; however, this resulted in "No LDAP Master" errors and I installed Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Server on a second internal drive and configured everything again. After setting everything up on the second install, I was going to reformat the first boot drive. Unfortunately, I'm just back to where I started after running the updates. I'm not sure if having two volumes with Mac OS X Server installed makes a difference in the instructions in the article mentioned above or not.
Another question: Is resetting the password with the installer DVD the same as using the Single User approach ("launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.DirectoryServices.plist", "ls /Users", then "dscl . -delete /Users/username AuthenticationAuthority")?
If so, I'll just do that; however, I am hoping that the Single User approach might somehow avoid "No LDAP Master" errors again.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

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.

P35 Platinum won't boot

Hi all.
My specs are :
C2D E6850 3.0Ghz
p35 Platinum Motherboard v1.1 ( Bios Version 1.3 )
Corsair 620W HX V2 Series Modular PSU
Creative S/B Audigy SE 7.1 OEM
Patriot 4GB PC2-6400 C5 Extreme Performance (2x2GB) [PDC24G6400ELK] Latency : 5-5-5-15 [2.0v]
500GB Seagate/Maxtor SATA2 16MB
MSI GeForce 8800GTX 768MB PCI-E OC
NEC Optiarc 18x DVD-RW RAM SATA Black
List of problems :
1)
1 boot. auto restart after 2 seconds after starting to boot
2 boot ( RRGR ) - reboot
3 boot -> message that overclocking failed and fail-safe default settings loaded and I'm able to use bios or all stays just like in the second boot till the end of the times ( untill you turn off the PSU and turn it again -> then go to boot one )
2) When in bios it shows that CPU clock is 1.8Ghz but it should be 3.0Ghz
3) It cant find a HDD but it's plugged into us usual and in bios I can see it but when it starting to boot it can't resolve the HDD.
Any ideas ? Thanks

My config:
MB: P35 platinum ver. 1.2
BIOS: Unknown
PROCESSOR: Intel Quadcore Q6600 G0
RAM: Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2 PC800 2x2Gb (total of 4Gb in 2 slots)
PSU: Corsair 620HX (620W)
CASE: Antec SOLO
Noctua NH12F
FANS: 1 x Nexus 120mm fan, 2 x Nexus 92 mm fans
HD: 2 x WD raptor 74Gb
VIDEO: PNY Quadro Fx570
Now I have the same identical problem....
New configuration, assembled by myself.
Plugged only processor and thermal unit, PSU, video, fans.
Connections motherboard-PSU: ATX 24 pin (main power to motherboard), ATX 12V 8 pin (CPU power), ATX 12V 4 pin (PCI express X16 power)
Jumper setting of FSB leaved by default (200. Other values avaiable: 266, 333).
I DID NOT PRESS the CLEAR CMOS BUTTON.
1st PHASE (maybe due to not press the CLEAR CMOS???)
1st boot: a series of autorebooting for a while.
After that a message of wrong overclock settings, but at least i was able to enter on BIOS.
ISSUES:
Under "System information" i noticed a correct identification of CPU model and number BUT under "CPU frequency" a wrong CPU speed (1,80 GHz instead of 2,4) AND under "Usage memory" something like 3Gb instead of my 4Gb.
So i cleared the CMOS by pressing "CLEAR CMOS BUTTON" on the P35.
2nd PHASE
Reboot...
Loaded the BIOS.
Now the Processor frequency is correct.
But when i opened the BIOS "CELL menu" -> "Advance DRAM configuration", and made some changes on DRAM latency (according to the values suggested by my DDR2 manufacturer, Patriot) the BIOS froze up.
Waited for a long while...but at the end I rebooted.
After reboot...PROBLEM WITH MEMORY: the PC just freeze on "Memory Detection Test" (LED sequence: red, red, green, red), so no chance to modify anything (no video, no keyboard, nothing...).
I tried to clear the CMOS again, but nothing.
I tried to unplug the motherboard battery, but nothing.
I tried with putting only one DDR2 module, but nothing.
Right now i can not try another memory module (I hope that tomorrow a friend of mine can borrow me one, so i can make some tests).
BUT FOR THE MOMENT....ANY IDEA???
I'm quite scared....Did I kill my DDR2?????
Or it's an issue with the brand PATRIOT???? (On the forum i read a lot of issues between P35 and memory modules made by Patriot!).
If so, can we hope in a BIOS upgrade that will fix the problem?
HELP ME...

P67A-gd65 boot problem after BIOS update

I'm not optimistic about this, but...
My P67A-GD65 was delivered with BIOS 1.5. (However, the stickers on both chips read 1.4.) I updated the BIOS to 1.7 using a DOS formatted USB flash drive. (The EM was updated as well.) Things seemed to be running OK.
I foolishly experimented with the 1.8A beta BIOS. I flashed from DOS again. After rebooting, I went into the settings to reconfigure the machine as it had been. The EFI screen hung, so I powered the machine down (from the button, not the PSU).
I've been unable to boot since. No display appears on the monitor. If it is powered down, the power comes back on for an instant, goes off again, and comes up again with nothing on the display. The USB keyboard and mouse never become active, as far as I can tell. I tried a PS/2 keyboard; no difference.
If this board has dual BIOS indicator LEDs, neither illuminates, which indicates that all is serene.
I have cleared the CMOS several times, using the jumper or the button at the rear I/O panel.
Any advice? Is there any way to force the use of the second BIOS? (I've read the MSI dual BIOS FAQ posted elsewhere, but didn't spot anything of use.)
RMA time?

Hi,
The blue screens started after a clean Bios flash to the 18b10 bios then eventually it stopped working complety (just doing the start up cycle over and over)
I had tried reseting cmos and it doesnt make a difference, the motherboard will not post , boot , start up at all so default settings cant be set (although reseting cmos would set to default anyway)
Each time the board goes through the start up cycle (i.e. upon pressing start button the board will start up with fans spinning for a second then shut down, start up again with fans spinning for a second then shut down, continuasly repeating until main power is removed) I have used a multimeter to measure the voltage read points on the board and they show that there is no vcore being suplied to the cpu but all other points show the voltage is being supplied to those componants, so imo that is where the problem lies and I would sugest that the other ppl who are having this issue to also try measuring the voltage read points and see if the same thing is happening on thier boards .
If others are getting the same results (no vcore) then the msi techs should be informed of this issue..(imo)
1.8b10 still is a beta bios. I got random bluescreens with that one also at some point a blinking bios led. So I flashed back from secondary bios (using the first option (change disable in enable)in "security" in the EFI shell to allow flashing from secondary bios), blinking bios led now stopped, Then I flashed with 1.7, no issues sofar cpu now running stable at 4.5Ghz (already 2 days).

MS 7345 - P35 Platinum won't boot

Hello guys,
My P35 Platinum probably died last night. First sign of a trouble was when system hanged on WIN7 booting screen. After reset the system hanged on first screen where it shows SATA discs connected. After turning off there is no more reaction to the power button.
The only sign of life coming from MB is the standby light (red LED3 from manual) flashing. If I remember correctly this should be on, not flashing. After day of browsing/searching I can't find anything like this.
Any ideas please?
Setup of the computer is really not important as it worked like this for at least 3 years. Anyways, I'll try what I remember:
MSI 7345 P35 Platinum v1.1
Intel Core2 E6800
OCZ RAMs 6GB
PSU Bluestorm 2 500W
GFX Gainward 480
SATA2 disks

Probably your PSU and hopefully it didn't take anything else with it.
That thing wasn't made for modern systems. 18A each on 2 X 12V rails and you were running a GTX480? Surprising that it didn't die sooner.
Test with another good quality PSU.

Z68a-gd65 boot loop after bios update using USB

Hi there,
My z68a-gd65 (G3) went into a boot loop after I did a bios update from a USB key that I installed using the latest BIOS version on the MSI site 7681vP8.zip
After the system restarted, it keeps booting up for 5 seconds and then shutting down, I removed all external devices and the Geforce GTX 550 Ti card and used the onboard card, but still no change...
Is there a way to set the board to factory defaults again???
Marcel

Hi there,
Maybe for others to solve the same problem, I found out what was the cause of this problem, I had a USB/Firewire card installed in the PC, after removing it the BIOS update could proceed from the USB stick as planned.
After the update though, my USB/firewire card can still not be installed back into the slot, because doing so will make the boot loop appear again, very odd!
Does anyone know why this new BIOS will not work with the card that has been inside my PC for 2 years???

X79A-GD45 windows 7 freezes during boot after bios upgrade/usb 3.0 drivers inst.

Hello,
After I upgraded my bios from 1.3 to 1.4 I noticed I still had some not properly installed hardware in the computer management screen, so I used live update 5 and found the the Renesas USB3.0 Drivers. The system runs fine, except from a cold start.
When starting the machine, windows freezes on the 4 colour logo, before the usb initializes (this I can tell from the keyboard not lighting up).
A forced reboot does not help. However, going in the bios (to check if all drives are functional) and then booting, does. After this the machine runs fine again.
Now my question is, is this caused by the new bios or by the Renesas USB3.0 Drivers? Or is it something completely different?
Thanks a lot,
Floris
X79A-GD45

Using LU5 often ends up this way doing UEFI/BIOS updates dead board!
In the future, recommend to use the forum flasher found here with instructions on how to use it; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
After a flash, it is also recommended to remove the power cord from the PSU, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS & reset.

K7n2-L wont boot after bios upgrade

I have been very happy with the motherboard since i bought it in april 2003, been very stable and only had minor usb problems. And i finally decided to upgrade the bios from v. 3.7 to v. 4.1.
After the upgrade the machine boots up to the first windows that shows me the memory and the hard disk i have installed. I can also go into BIOS.
But the PC stops when its about to start booting up the HD or CDrom. According to the lights on the D-Bracket its trying to initializing the floppy controller.
There has never been a floppy drive in this PC before(i booted the PC on CDROM when i upgraded the BIOS).
I have tried the following things without success;
installed a floppy drive.
Cleared the CMOS(with the jumper)
Unplugged the cdrom and the hard disk.
Tried every memory configuration.
jumped the safe mode jumper.
It seems to me that i can only fix this by changing the BIOS chip....or the mainboard.
Anyone had this problem?

Azraeliz,
Sounds to me like perhaps you've overlooked a setting in the BIOS
Did you take note of the BIOS settings prior to flashing so you could put the settings back the way they were?
nuckelavee,
I suggest you start your own thread. I have a hard time believing there is no CMOS jumper.
Tried this? ***Starting your K7N2 Delta2 at default settings***

T420s Boot problem after BIOS update

I updated T420s from 1.37 to 1.38 while laptop was in the dock, not connected directly to power. Now it starts to boot then goes to a black screen and hangs. If I use f11 to boot from a CD, then it boots normally to Windows 7 Pro and works fine. I also notice the power indicator no longer lights, it only flashes a couple times then stays dark.
I still had 1.36 in my drivers so I tried going back to 1.36 BIOS, hooked to power this time, not dock. That worked and it shows 1.36 version as the BIOS but boot behavior is the same. Any ideas?
Moderator Note; subject edited; system type added

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm really sorry to hear that your Lenovo T420s does not boot properly after a BIOS update.
I would suggest you to disable Intel AMT in BIOS and set the security chip, TPM, as active in BIOS and check if the system boot properly.
Occasionally, a system BIOS flash procedure will not execute properly and a system may be hung in a black screen state. If the system not booting properly, it can often be recovered by clearing CMOS.
Remove AC and System battery.
Press and hold the power button several times (3-5 time) for a count of 5 seconds
Reconnect AC and press the power button - if system starts normally, shut down and insert the battery
Remove the CMOS battery, and allow system to set for 30 minutes.
Location of CMOS battery and instructions for removal can be found in the hardware maintenance manual.
Try updating your docking station firmware as well.
Do post back if issue persists after performing the above troubleshooting steps.
Best regards,
Mithun.

Not booting after BIOS upgrade in T500

I upgraded my T500 from BIOS 3.09 to 3.18 using the windows upgrade utility (6fuj42us.exe?). The upgrade went fine. I rebooted the machine and got the login windows screen (I have windows XP professional). However, the instructions of the BIOS upgrade called to enter into the BIOS and press the F9 key in order to set all the system defaults. After that the machine did not boot. It gives me the initial windows booting screen (windows flags) and then a blue screeen. I downgraded the BIOS to 3.15 using the bootable CD utility (6fuj39uc.iso?). The downgrade went fine. I can get into the BIOS but have exactly the same problem when loading windows. Unfortunately I could not find a similar bootable program for BIOS 3.09 only the windows executable program (6fuj34us.exe?). Is there any fix other than reinstalling windows? Thanks.

Hi malope,
please enter the Bios and check the HDD is switched to compatible mode instead of AHCI Mode.
Maybe than you can start Windows.

Satellite L300 refuses to boot after BIOS upgrade

Hi,
My girlfriend's L300 was lagging terribly so we decided to format C:. We did this with the accompanying XP restore disk.
Then we had to upgrade the drivers. We started the installation of the BIOS upgrade from the Toshiba driver website, went away for a while and when we came back the computer had restarted of itself.
It was stuck in a cycle of the "windows loading" screen and the one with a bottom bar that says press F2 for this or F12 for that. Tried all options in the boot menu, not even safe mode works.
We tried to reformat with the previous method, by inserting XP CD and holding down the 'C' button while starting. We get the familiar 'Windows Setup' screen, and it seems to load all the windows setup files from the CD. But when we get to the installation, we get a blue screen error message. 'A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.....Technical information: ***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D254,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
Nothing seems to work, please help! We really want to save the images, on the D: disk partition.

Hi
Try to set the BIOS to default settings.
You have to access the BIOS and there you could set it to default.
Please check if you can install the OS using the SATA mode -> AHCI and compatible.
If you use AHCI then you have to include the SATA drivers. If you use the compatible mode, then SATA drivers are not needed.
If you want to get access to the HDD before installing the OS in the C partition, then I would recommend booting the notebook using a Windows Live CD like WinPE or BartPe.
Both are live cds which dont need a installation you have to boot from such disk only to get access to the content on the HDD.

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.
