P43 Neo3-F will not post with Vertex SSD attached

Without my OCZ Vertex SSD attached, my rev. 1.1 P43 Neo3-F with bios v2.4 acts like a normal mainboard. As soon as attach my Vertex SSD, it freezes during POST. If I bring up the boot menu during POST and pick the SSD, I get a blinking cursor and no post. I tried several of the regular SATA (non-Jmicron) ports but the same result.
Do I have to change the SATA mode on the SATA ports for an SSD to work? I think I remember seeing that your port should be set to IDE mode for this SSD in the OCZ forums. Can someone tell me where in the bios I could find this option? I'm having a lot of trouble finding stuff in this bios.
If that is not the case... there is one newer bios I could flash too. I read the directions and it says don't flash from floppy - which I've already done. Do I really have to go throught that RAMDRIVE stuff it discusses or is flashing from floppy okay as long as the floppy is "good". I know of the USB stick method but won't be using that.
But I have trouble believing that a P43 mainboard would be incompatible with an SSD. What's odd is that I didn't have this problem until I installed WinXP on the SSD. I could see that interfering with booting but why would that interfere with POSTing?

I flashed the bios to the very latest for the 1.1 version... the 2.5 bios but no help. I now have WinXP installed and it loads but the BIOS chokes on the SSD and there is a 25 second wait followed by about 10 second black screen and then the desktop just magically appears - no XP progress bar ever seen. Whenever the SSD is attached to the board, it lets out a strange chirp sound after the good post beep.
I tried installing XP on the SSD on my DFI Blood Iron and it works perfectly. I tried changing every related bios option on the MSI board I could find but nothing helps.
Anybody here running a Vertex on this board?

New H97 Gaming 3 will not POST with i5 4690 - Need an old CPU to reflash BIOS?

I just finished assembling my new computer with an i5 4690, H97 Gaming 3, 8GB Kingston DDR3 RAM, 600W PSU. I ordered everything from Amazon a week ago.
When I turn it on, it does not POST or beep, it just power cycles every few seconds. I don't know what BIOS version it has because nothing shows on the screen. I believe I an old version of the BIOS that is incompatible with the i5 4690 but I need the CPU to work to update the BIOS..
I'm not sure I am reading the compatibility list correctly. Are CPUs listed as "7918v10.zip" working on stock BIOS?

I will install an old CPU, reflash BIOS with current version, and replace the CPU with my i5 4690.
I read on Tom's Hardware that the Pentium G3258 is compatible with stock BIOS. Is this true?

Windows 8 will not activate with new SSD (second) hard drive

I added a new SSD drive in the second hard drive bay. I used the HP restoration media to install Windows 8 on the new SSD drive. Windows 8 will not activate. After spending 90 minutes on the phone with HP support (and paying $150), they told me to contact Microsoft. After spending some time with Microsoft, they told me that the Windows product key is being locked by HP, and there is nothing they can do.

Hi badgerbuzz,
I have brought your issue to the attention of an appropriate team within HP. They will likely request information from you in order to look up your case details or product serial number. Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publically post ( serial numbers and case details).

T410 will not boot with new SSD

I've cloned my HDD to a new SSD, but it will not boot. It goes into a Lenovo Think Bios splash screen / Black screen loop. I booted off a repair disk and performed a repair, but it is still doing the bios loop thing. This has happened with both an OCZ and a Kingston SSD. Any ideas? Thanks...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm going to venture a guess that the drive was not cloned properly.
The "new" drive must be in the machine's HDD bay, and the "old" one in the USB enclosure.
I always use Clonezilla for the rare occasions that I actually clone something, but Acronis should do just fine as well.
Good luck.

MS-6580 (845PE Max VER 2.0) not POSTING with 2GB of DRAM -- POST with only 1GB

Ok I am currently fixing a client's PC, he wanted a RAM upgrade from 1GB to 2GB. I purchased a Komputerbay 2GB (2 X 1GB) DDR DIMM (184 PIN) 333Mhz DDR333 PC2700 kit, it was the cheapest I could find. The problem is, the system will not POST with the two 2GB modules installed, only with 1GB on either DIMM slot. I've tested them both RAM modules, and they work. Before, the PC had 2x 512MB DRAM installed, and it was working, so I don't think there is anything wrong with the DIMM slots.
When I start the system, I get two paused beeps, and some weird noise, not sure what is.
I've read the motherboard manual, and it says the maximum support is 2GB DDR 333mhz.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Does it post with only one 2GB dimm installed?
I don't believe the board/chipset will support 4GB(2x2GB).
http://eu.msi.com/product/mb/845PE-Max2.html#/?div=Detail
I don't know where you're getting 4GB, I never said anything about 4GB - I must have made a type but what I mean was: The motherboard wouldn't post with two 1GB modules (2GB) as specified to be the maximum according to the manual. It would only post with 1GB(1x1GB or 2x512MB) or 1.5GB(1x1GB + 1x512MB) of RAM.
No worries, the problem is resolved now.

More detail and a reply for the CQ50 - 130US will not boot with 8gb ram post

The specs, on the web site say that the max memory supported is 3GB DDR2 because the notebook was built with the OS Vista(32 bit) installed so that’s why the manual has the 3 GB max. memory supported limit. The 32 bit OS can’t address memory over 3.12 GB. To my mind that is not a spec. but rather a tech. writer who made a mistake and copied the sales literature. With Windows 7(64 bit) Pro. installed the OS can address up to192GB of memory if the system supports it. Other Compaq and HP Notebooks can deal with 8GB of memory installed. That’s why I would think HP’s could easily fix this with a patch or use one of their other BIOS’s.
The difference between 4GB and 6GB is that with 6GB system runs faster and the display quality has improved. I have set the cache size to large and the executive paging is set to off in the registry. The menu(System Properties - Performance Options – Advanced – Virtual Memory) is set to automatically manage the paging file size.

You should keep it in the original; thread you started.

I swapped all parts to a better case to fit a certain location and the system will not post at all. the diagnostic d-bracket has number 1 and 4 in red while 2 and 3 are green. the book only tells me that the processor is initializing with a note saying this will show information regarding the processor (like brand name, system bus. etc. but nothing will show on the monitor. everything was working fine before the swap. i have checked everything i can think of. i would appreciate some advise. sorry if i haven't posted all the proper requrements and spec's. thanks. paul k.

i reset the memory and cpu and video card. i think i disconnected everything in the case a couple of times to make sure it wasn't a simple blunder. nothing! i have a friend that wants to try look at it i may do that. also tomorrow i will try to post all my info like the rest of you guys have done. i'll give it a try anyway. also i done the other things you mentioned, i forgot what the questions were. you can't see the post info that i am replying to keep checking so i can answer properly and i forget things.

Razr Maxx Calendar will not sync with Exchange Calendar

You have to select the Google/Gmail account as the location where to save the event. In the screen where you are adding the info to create the event there is a spot for choosing which calendar to save it to. This is where you pick the Gmail calendar.

Its not about trying to sell to every person on the planet, others are way ahead of you.
So try respective the customers you have, it wont be long before theirs a better operating system and your lead in hardware is marginal.

If you have an iPhone or iPad do not update to ISO 7 unless you want an operating system that looks like windows 8. The graphics looks like it was designed by a artistically challenged mongoose and the operating system is not intuitive something apple users expect. Overly complicated ugly and generally change for the sake of apples paranoia since the death of Steve Jobs.

K8T Master2-Far Will not POST unless CMOS is freshly cleared!

Hey all, thanks for helping out.
I came back to my computer one day to find it in a coma. The system was on, but the screen was getting no signal and would not come on by moving the mouse/keyboard like usual. I thought that maybe it had turned off the monitor for power save and then frooze some how. After restarting the computer I found that it was still doing the same thing. I shut down the system and unpluged. After waiting about 5 min i plugged back in and flipped the switch on the powersupply. This started the computer right up (even though i had not pushed th power button) and left it in the same condition as before. It simply would not post. After closer inspection I found that it was not posting because it wasn't getting far enough in the process before it was being restarted. I checked the restart button and even went as far as removing it from the motherboard. This did not help. I knew it was restarting because i could see it checking the optical drives then waiting for about 4 seconds, then a weird noise from the speakers (like a soft cruching so to speak) would happen, then it would do this all over again, non stop. That noise was familliar though, it was the normal noise that I hear when I push the restart button (I'm guessing a release of electricity etc..) so I knew what was going on.
After switching the memory out and in all orders, I stripped the system down to the bare min. This however did not change anything. I put the system back together and flashed the cmos. This made the system restart once, then "BEEP" it posted. It said CMOS Checksome Error - Defaults Loaded. I first pushed DEL to get into the bios. I changed everything back to how its suppost to be (time, apature, etc...) then saved and exited. This made the system go back into its restarting state. I then flashed the cmos again and pushed F1 to continue. The system booted up just fine. In safemode of course. Then i restarted. It then went back into its restarting state. I flashed the bios again. And after pushing F1 to continue selected it to go into windows normally. Everytime it does this it gets different results. One time it got past the windows xp loading screen and sat at the black screen before you get your curser and welcome screen (sigh... restart... flash..). It also once got in just fine, and after about 5 min got a blue screen about "bad pool caller". It most the time however gets a random blue screen right after you see the welcome screen. These blue screens consist of "bad pool caller", "IRQ Equal or Lesser Value", or No notes, just generic blue screen.
If i change anything in my bios it will not post. If i dont flash the cmos, it will not post. If i dont change anything in bios and continue, then restart, it will not post. The only way for it to post and for me to see anything on the screen is to flash the cmos. I thought it might be the power supply, but the only extra i have does not have the extra plug to power the 2nd cpu. After thinking about it though. I dont know if it could be a power supply issue, if it was then would it even load up into safe mode? Or why would it not load up into safe mode again after restarting. I have tried an extra stick of memory that i know works in a separate computer, but nothing changed. I have tried a different videocard... nothing changed. I have removed everthing accept the basics (motherboard, cpu's,videocard,memory,psu) and nothing changed.
I have worked on this for about 1 week now and can not figure it out. I have my useless MCSE/CSE/A+ certifications (I say useless because I dont have a job that uses them) but this one is beyond me. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Brandon
P.S. I dont know if this is related, but I did have to change from useing the DVI connection to RGB plug to even see anything once I heard it post. I was useing DVI before, and once i figured out that it would post after flashing cmos, I had to change to RGB to get any visual. The DVI will not work now at all. I have even tried changing cords. The DVI wont work in safemode either. Thanks

I reckon these mobos have a fault that really needs to be sorted. You say that your PC was working fine using PC 3200 memory with 240's. I have a similliar problem, I am using 246's with Kingston' PC3200 KVR333X72RC25/512D 2.5 ECC REG. The PC worked fine for about two weeks and then one day went on a blink, every time I power it up all I get is beeps. I was forced to order new BIOS, which didn't work everything else has been tested and works fine.
So I ordered micron memory 2X512 PC 2100 266 ECC REG which I was told by the supplier that it was compartible, that didn't work either. I then went on to check the battery, to my surprise the battery was low so I thought I had nailed it, went out bought a new battery but the problem still exits. I must say though after installing the micron memory it did boot up but when I went into BIOS to change settings to boot fro CDROM the damn thing would not restart I had to switch it off using the power button to restart it and when it restarted all i got was beeps. After that to get it to bootup I have to reset CMOS using the jumper and when it boots up it gives a checksum error message. I have a choice of two at this stage
(1) To Press F1
(2) To Press delete o go into BIOS setup
The F1 option takes me as far as the windows log on screen and that's it cuts off as if it is gonna boot itself backup but just hangs there.
The Delete option takes into BIOS which when exited the PC does nothing until powered down and powered up again, from here I have to reset CMOS to get it to bootup.
I have been told that the kingston memory is not compatible but my question is how did it work the first two weeks?
Good ol' Bas have helped out on this one quite often but here I am three months on still in a struggle. I thought of RMAing the board but it would cost me about 160 pounds and with that kind of money I could pick up another boad from kompllete.com and remain with some change for a couple of buds.
"To bass You said in the last post that the poblem could be the power supply changed it but that has not solved my problem"

Calendar will not sync with Exchange server or most Google Calendars

Hi,
I am writing about my wife's brand new Samsung Charge on Verizon. We managed to setup both her gmail account and her work exchange server account fine, except for the calendars:
Her Google calendar shows up fine, but I am unable to even see any other Google calendars that she has access to (both her own secondary calendars as well as calendars that others have shared with her) in order to select them to be visible.
Her exchange calendar says it is enabled (on the list of available calendars), but no events at all show up.
This behavior is with the latest software updates on the Charge (2.2.1 firmware, I510.EE4 build) using its stock calendar software. I did notice that if I use Smooth Calendar, it does list all of her Google calendars under its listing of available calendars, but it still only shows data from her primary calendar. This is also true using the Touch Calendar app, which leads me to believe that there is some problem within the Google Calendar sync software that is not allowing her calendars to appear correctly.
Thanks!

Hello whereizben,
I see you have posted same post in another thread. I have already replied to that posting with a solution. Please see the following link for my reply:

Edited clips will not open with other apps

After editing video clips using Adobe Premiere Elements, clips will not open with other apps (like VLC, Media Player, etc...)

Sherbowe
Just saw your post and wanted to leave a just in case note.
From the information that you and John T. Smith just exchanged, it would appear that you attempted to play back the saved project file (project.prel) with your VCL Player and Windows Media Player. You need to export the Timeline content to a file format that is supported by the player of your choice. By now, you have probably been there and done that.
This is the just in case note about projects and their project.prel file....let us say that you have two separate projects and you decide to put the content of one project into another. Cannot do. One cannot import a project.prel into another project.prel. You would have to export the Timeline of one and then import that export in the other project. Alternatively, those with Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1, 9.0/9.0.1, and 10 could use the ClipMate program to copy/paste between programs without issues. However, with Premiere Elements 11 there are some problems in that regard.
