P45 neo2-fr system will not boot at all

CPU: Intel 2Duo, 3GHz, LGA775
MOBO: MSI P45 NEO2-FR
RAM:  2 x 1GB Kingston DDR2 , 800MHz
VID: 2 x Asus EAH4850, ATI crossfire
HD: Seagate Barracuda 750GB SATA
Power: Antec 850W TruePower Quattro
Optic drive: DVD/CD burner
I cannot get this system to boot up.  Everything powers up.  The hard drive is spinning, the fans on the vid card and CPU are spinning, and the CD drive lights up and seems to “POST”.  Nothing comes up on the screen (and I’ve checked the monitor, it works).  There are no POST beeps either.  I had assembled the entire machine (dual vid cards, and two other PCI cards), but when it did not boot, I started the troubleshooting.
I’ve tried an IDE HD.  That didn’t work.  I’ve even took out all the RAM to see if I could even get a POST beep…nothing.  I have the setup now at its basic build; CPU, RAM HD and one Vid card.
Does anyone have any ideas or know of what the issue may be? 
thanks

The machine it back in it's case with all cards and connections and is booting up with the OS that is on the HD (I'll be wiping it for this new config).
I put paper washers between the mobo and risers, that was a trick in itself. 
So as of now, I'm good to go.  Now comes the software terrors.  But that's for another thread...
Thanks again Jack!

  • Windows 8 and Canvio Desk 3TB: System will not boot when external hdd is connected

    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-e-g/HP-PAVILION-A6109N-amp-windows-8-System-w...
    Hi,
    just recently upgraded to Win Pro on my HP PAVILION A6109N.  I also bought a toshiba canvio desk 3TB.  What I notice is that if I reboot my pc with the extermnal HDD connected, my system will not boot.
    I have check my BIOS boot settings and the order of the boot.
    I have tried disabling USB Legacy Support in the BIOS
    I have reformatted the external HDD
    but still my desktop will not boot if the external HDD is connected....If I disconnect the external HDD...the system will boot up ....
    I am at a loss....*** scratching my head ***

    Update:  The only solution for me was to format the drive as ext3 and plug it into one of my Asus RT-N66U USB ports, as most routers don’t yet recognize 3TB drives as NTFS.  It’s not much help to people who don’t have a router with this capability, and it also slows transfer rates to ~12MB/s.
    Given the short length of the cable, your only other options are to have the 3TB Canvio sitting right next to you so you can unplug from a front USB port before each boot, or place it towards the rear of your desk and crawl under the desk to disconnect it from your PC prior to each boot. 
    It's a pity because Toshiba produce great internal HDD's, but my experience when it comes to external drives is they're simply junk.  I wish I had read the reviews before purchasing.

  • The system will not boot

    Hello, I am trying to install windovws after the restart can not install Yosemite because can`t please format the hard disk.Please help because just yesterday bought macbooc

    FYI...the top partition is too full. You need free space. You will need to remove the bottom partition then make the top partition larger. Make sure you have 10% or more free space. If you use Parallels or VMware you don't have to partition your drive. If you use the vm software you can run Windows wihtout having to reboot into bootcamp each time you want to use it.
    See this link for help after you resize your top partition.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    I forgot to ask...
    If the system will not boot, how are you seeing Disk Utility. Are you booted from the Recovery Drive? If yes, then you will need to erase the internal drive and reinstall Yosemite on the internal. When you erase, make it one partition. You can add a second partition later that's smaller.
    Note: you posted in the OS X 7 Lion instead of the Yosemite forum. In the future, asking on the correct forum gets the best answers.

  • Operating reference system will not boot.

    hi! bought the iphone 4s in Italy and it does not work. Operating reference system will not boot. Change of firmware and restore did not help. How can I change it while in Russia. Can I send in the mail store??

    Hi NcBunky,
    Are you using Win 7 64 bit? Did you update the Texas Instruments (TI) USB 3.0 XHCI Host Controller?
    I have an H8 1380t PC. Updated the TI USB 3.0 driver and had the same problem.
    When booting the PC with the USB 3.0 external drive connected to the PC the PC would not boot. When booting the PC with only the mouse, keyboard, and a USB 2.0 external drive attached the PC would boot. Once booted you could attach the USB 3.0 drive and it worked fine.
    Solution was to roll back (reinstall) the TI USB 3.0 XHCI Host Controller to the original factory installed driver.
    System now boots with the external USB 3.0 drive attached.

  • System will not boot up

    MB: KT6 Delta-LSR
    CPU: XP2500 Barton
    GFX: Asus V9520 Magic/T 128mb
    RAM: 1028 pc3200 ddr400 (2x512) Geil Branded
    HDD: Maxtor 40GB 2mb Buffer
    Put it all together formatted the HDD, installed windows, network was working perfectly. (on ASUS via600 board)
    Next day turn it on and nothing, zilch not even a flashing cursor top left of screen, dont even boot to DOS. screen is completely blank.
    Tested CPU, GFX, RAM and PSU in another base unit and they work fine, yet put them all together and nothing.
    1st I thought it was the mainboard so I sent the ASUS board back and ordered the KT6 Delta nice looking board. But still exactly the same problem.
    Lights on case are lit all fans are turning ect yet still the system will not boot up i dont even get a flashing cursor top right of my screen.
    There is no light with this mainboard for some reason.
    All components work when fitted to another mainboard in a different case.
    NB: one thing I have noticed is that there are two power sockets on this board,
    1. The usual 20 pin socket (which I am connected to)
    2. A 4 pin socket near to the CPU (whilst my PSU has a plug that will fit this sockect also, I am unsure as to connect instead of/as well as or leave unplugged.

    Like I have stated before, it is the compatibility issue related towards your chip fsb and your memory fsb. I know that not everyone has money to go buy another stick of memory, I don't. But maybe you could exchange from the place you bought and say that it was a mistake? The cheapest route without getting the fsb chip to match the fsb of the memory stick is to get PC2700 memory. Have you tried going for this yet? I'm sure that your motherboard may not be shot, my board didn't get shot after trying to the two different fsb. You have to understand, motherboards are picky when it comes to running the hardware. If there is a conflict, it won't run right, I could run at a lower fsb and get it to work fine, but it wasn't at it's full potential, and I wasn't going to waste my time trying to find the fsb that would work correctly. So, I just let my friend have the stick back. This is why I'm asking you to try a lower speed stick of memory, because I have experienced this. But so far you haven't even seemed to notice my replies, could you take a quick overview of what I have said? Sorry if I come off as rude, just I am taking the time to write these replies and really am trying to help from my knowledge base. I have experienced this type of problem of what you are talking about personally.
    Ok, so maybe I might not know it all, seeing that other people replying here have the same mb spec and chip fsb and memory like your trying to run, they might know more when it comes to that area for sure, just I didn't have luck trying to run a faster stick of memory compared to my chip, even though my board could run it, I couldn't get it to work, at all. I would just get a black screen, I thought I shot my GPU. Then I reset CMOS and the bios would flash, then when it would start pulling from harddrive, boom, black screen again. I had my friend tinker with my volt. to the right volts of the memory stick, still couldn't get nothing. This is why I am a little skeptical about you being able to run it at all in the long run. Hopefully you can find a way, maybe it is your manufacturer of your stick, but my conclusion is, if it isn't going to work with one, or two of same speed, try lowering it. Like I said, I tried it on this setup right now, and I didn't have to replace the chip or mobo, or gpu, so those should be fine.

  • System will not boot with Seagate 3Tb expansion drive plugged in.

    I have a  HP Pavilion HPE h8- 1214 Desktop ,  I recieved a Seagate 3TB expasion drive as a gift but when plugged in, the system will not boot. It turns on but thats it.  It never gets to the boot sequence. I have it plugged into the top 3.0 usb slot and have tried all of the other slots as well with no sucess. But if I leave it unplugged the system boots right up. I can then plug it in and it works fine. I have plugged it into my wifes HP All- In- One and it boots fine and works.  I have a WD 2TB drive that works fine as well on my system . I have searched Segates support for hours and all they say is to change the boot sequence. Have tried that, no go.  What they dont get is no matter what I do if that drive is plugged in it never gets as far as booting and reading the boot sequence. Please help. Thank you!

  • HP Pavilion Slimline s3707c PC will not boot up all the way

    HP Pavilion Slimline s3707c PC will not boot up all the way; gives the following message:
    Entering Setup
    <F10=setup>                          <F11=System Recovery
    <Esc=Boot Menu>                 <F9=Diagnostics>
    Tried to install recovery disc; did not respond.
    [Personal Information Removed]

    Hi wjackson95,
    When you get to the screen mentioned below, can you press the F11 key to enter the Recovery system that is on the hard drive? Alternatively, if you can press F10, you can go into the BIOS and change your boot order to put your disc drive before the hard drive so that the PC boots to your Recovery discs. NOTE: You may have to press F10 or F11 multiple times to get it at the right time.
    You might consider opening your PC to see if it has dust buildup. If your PC has overheated, it can cause it to not boot. It can also cause heat damage to the interal parts.
    For more detailed boot troubleshooting, see this HP Support document:

  • I have reset my ipad using General Reset Erase All Content and Settings. And now it will not boot. All i see on screen is the Apple logo. What do i do?

    I have reset my ipad using General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. And now it will not boot. All i see on screen is the Apple logo. What do i do?

    When you restore, you can restore to factory settings or to a backup. Restoring to factory settings removes everything and takes you back to out of the box status and you start all over again. Restoring from your backup will replace all of your app data, bookmarks, email settings and things like that. You still may need to sync all of your purchased apps and music, photos and so on back to the iPad.
    I assume you want to restore from your backup to put all of you data back on the device so connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes, right click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading and select restore from backup. After you restore from your backup, make sure that you sync all of your other content with iTunes.

  • Reset CMOS, system will not boot

    This is a long story but I will try to keep it short:
    I just bought a new 875P Neo-FISR and a 3.0 GHz Prescott, which from reading the other posts could have been a mistake. I installed the CPU, memory, and the video card and pressed the power button and received a "CMOS Data Wrong" error. So I tried to correct the problem but when I saved and exited then the system would not boot back up. So, I reset the CMOS via the jumper and tried again. After MANY attempts I change just the month in the date setting. And what do you know...it would not boot back up. The D-Bracket LEDs were: 1-flashing red/green, 2-flashing red/green, 3-red, and 4-red
    I must have read almost every post in this forum and tried many things such as:
    disconnecting all componets except for video, ram, and cpu
    the during boot to recover the BIOS
    removing mobo from case, maybe a short
    moving the memory to different slots
    moving the PSU to a different computer...it works
    disconnecting the PSU from the mobo and and removing the battery overnight. The first night I did not disconnecting the PSU from the mobo and I found that did nothing.
    Tryed everything that I could think of and some stuff that others thought of but nothing worked. However the last item...removing the battery...did change things some. Now nothing happens, and I mean nothing...no lights, no fans, no buzzing...nothing.
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. The only recourse I have left is to RMA the board.

    I tried one stick in all of the slots with and without the sound card. That did not work either.
    The voltage for my memory is 2.6 so that is what I tried. But if I can get it to boot up again I will try 2.7.
    Tks.

  • New system will not boot up.

    I am in the process of building a new system and it will not boot to the post. The power gets to the cpu fan and case fan for about 5 seconds then shguts off. I have to clear cmos to get the same response. Please help, I have pulled everything from the case and tried to boot with just the cpu and memory. Same result.
