P55-CD53 Won't Boot Without CPU

I know this is probably a dumb question, but I just got all my parts in except my GPU and CPU. I plugged everything in and bumped the power button on the motherboard while hiding some cables. It started up, a few lights came on, and it instantly shut down. It went into a loop of flashing on and off every 3 seconds until I shut the power supply off manually (switch in the back). Did I mess anything up? More importantly, did I find out that my board is faulty? Or is it just doing this because the CPU isn't installed?
Currently, I have:
RAIDMAX RX-630SS PSU
P-55 CD43 MSI motherboard
GEIL DDR3 1066 2GB (x2) RAM
What just happened?

Just to clarify, I wasn't trying to boot my computer without a CPU. That makes no sense . I was concerned as to any damage as to what may have happened (if any) by accidentally starting up my motherboard. As I stated before, I hit the motherboard's power button accidentally while moving around some extra cables (i don't have a fully modular PSU). Also, I have heard a couple incidences where the MSI P55-CD53 will not start up at all, and will light up for a second and then shut down. I was concerned because I thought I may be having the same problem. But that will be determined as soon as I get my Core i5-760 in it. But my main concern was if I had inflicted any damage to my motherboard in any way. It's not something I've ever done before (I'm usually more careful than this lol), so I wasn't sure. I'm not COMPLETELY dumb, lol
Refrain from even taking the side panel off whilst it's powered. Some static from you and you could damage something. It's not worth the risk.
May I ask why the power cable was even plugged in, never mind turned on?

P55-CD53 Won't boot

I bought this board about two weeks ago. Put it in my computer and it didn't work running with Intel i5 750, Radeon HD 4870, G.Skill DDR3 1600 2 x 2GB, Seagate 500 GB HD, and a number of other components, all with a 500W OCZ PSU.
After a lot of troubleshooting the computer would light up for about a second, fans would spin up, and then it would shut down and try again about 5 seconds later. Nothing on the screen.
I replaced the board figuring it was DOA. With the new board I plugged it in just with the CPU and power supply. It worked. The I plugged everything else in and got the same problem I had before. Now I can't get it to start even with only the PSU and CPU.
What is going on? Any ideas?

The first time I plugged the processor, processor fan, and psu into the mainboard. Turned it on and it stayed on. I did not have any display attached or anything other than the above components.
After I plugged in the rest of the components with the computer, including vga, RAM, hdd, optical drive, etc. it would not turn on and stay on, it would just blink and then not power up. After a couple seconds it would blink on again, and then turn back off. It never gets passed power phase 1.
After unplugging all components from the mainboard, other than the psu and the cpu, it would not turn on and stay on again. I could not achieve the same results I had in the first test.
I have tried many different configurations, none of them get the board to power up.
Ths PSU has 18A on the 12V rails.

Windows 8.1 Pro won't boot without USB Stick

Please HELP! I bought a Thinkpad e555 without OS, created installation media for Windows 8.1 in a 64Gb USB stick. When the installation was finalized, I followed the instruction of removing the stick after restarting. After powered on, black screen for hours. Put the usb stick back and Windows booted, finalized the installations and configurations, and started normally. So I started with all of the drivers downloads and installation. So I removed the usb thinking that everthing was ok. But when a restarted it, it wouldn't boot until I restarted it with the usb plugged. Complained with the retailer and sent me a new one. Now I'm trying the installation all over again using a 16Gb USB stick. The same, the OS won't boot without having plugged the USB that I used for installation. What am I doing wrong? Note:NTB LENOVO TP E555 20DH000WGEAMD A8-7100, 4GBx1, 15.6" HD, Black, AMD R5 HD Grafik, 720p CAM, 500GB7200, DVD±RW, RTL bgn+BT, Numpad, No Fingerprint, Akku 6Zellen (48wh), None Preload OS

I have this problem on E455. Both in 8.1 Pro.It was after a driver update, but not sure which one.It doesn't what USB device is attached, just so long as there is one.

OS Mavericks won't boot without using safe mode

My macbook pro won't boot up when its not in safe mode. It gets to the apple screen and then freezes but I can move the mouse around. Safari also won't open even when it is booted in safe mode.

If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. This procedure is a diagnostic test.

P55 GD45 won't boot

Recently bought a brand new P55 GD45 got it to boot fine the first time re-installed OS and everything. Started looking at the bios and saw the option to turn on OC Genie, hit save and exit next thing I know my comp goes through a boot cycle but doesn't show anything on-screen and reboots itself. Tried to clear the CMOS reset the jumpers, and took the battery out and this thing still won't boot . Am I not clearing the damn CMOS right or something?

Won't boot without video card

Hi,
I have a PT880 Neo-LSR and am trying to run a unix OS. This is the first time I've used a MSI board, but I've used many other boards without graphics cards since these are being used as servers.
The problem is that the OS won't boot up unless I throw a pci video card or a agp video card on the board.
Is there any way around this? I've searched in the bios but nothing looks like the culprit. Is there a jumper? Or is this a limitation of the board?
Thanks,
Bob C

I have never had a Server Board but why would you want to boot up a OS without a vidieo card...??? You should be able to post up to the point where the Beeps will let you know that no video card is present.. if a speaker is hooked up.. How you going to see what you are doing in the Bios.??? I must be Tired ....

Intel D2700DC + Arch won't boot without display

I've faced really wierd (to me) problem running Arch as mini webserver on the Intel D2700DC mini-ITX board with Atom D2700 integrated and NM10 Express chipset.
I successfully installed the system, configured network and started sshd to continue setting up other services remotely via ssh console. Then I disconnected the keyboard and display from the case and put it under the table. After that I was quiet surprised that the system was not starting up anymore.
After some investigation I've found that the system is not booting if no display is attached to the DVI port of the motherboard. If I start the system with display disconnected, I can hear one beep that notifies about successful BIOS POST, HDD led blinks 2-3 times, and then just nothing happens. System isn't booting up. If I attach the display right after that - nothing is seen on the screen, and display is immediately falling into sleep mode. Keyboard is still active though, and if I press ctrl+alt+del - the system is restarting, and, if display was just connected, it boots ok then. Also it boots fine from the cold state if the display was attached to the DVI port at the time of powering on.
As I can assume from the timings and HDD led blinking, the boot process stops right after GRUB is loaded. There's nothing in system log, cause it seems that boot hangs just before the kernel is loaded by GRUB. I'm really stuck and don't know how to work around this situation, because if the display was disconnected when system was powered on - then there's no way to see anything on the screen until next reboot, and if the display was connected - then the system boots OK.
One more thing to notice:
There was an old CentOS installation on the HDD, to which I installed Arch Linux. I've tried to boot it once or twice before installing Arch, and, as I could remember, it could boot up without display connected, on the very same hardware. So I suppose it's definitely something in Arch that is preventing the system to boot without the display.
I guess that when no display is connected at boot time, NM10 chipset completely disables onboard video, and because of this we can't see anything on the display until the system is restarted. But this somehow affects Arch, so it can't boot without any video hardware present.

I'm afraid there's no such option, but it looks like arch isn't booting just because no graphics card is detected in the system when display it disabled during powering up.
There is a couple of similar topics about some other linux distros can't boot without video card inserted ([1], [2]) with some recommendations on what to do in such a case.
I've followed them - including enabling serial console in /etc/inittab, setting nomodeset in kernel line in grub's menu.lst, checking for enabled splash-screens... but that didn't help.
Does anyone know what options should be tuned in order to boot Arch without any active graphics card present in the system hardware?

Windows 7 won't boot without optical drive (SSD, Dual HD)

I recently purchased an SSD and an optical drive HD caddy so I could use two HDs on my macbook pro. I installed the SSD in the normal HD slot in order to install Windows via optical drive. When I move my SSD over to the optical drive slot, Windows hangs on a black screen before the Windows logo and never boots. I tried moving the SSD back to the main HD slot but without the optical drive installed, the same symptoms occur - no boot. This leads me to believe that Windows will not boot without the optical drive (which was present during installation).
Perhaps this is a problem with primary/slave drive settings? I learned today that the intel chipsets in macbooks do not have BIOS for Windows and do not allow you to access the EFI. Not sure if that would help anyways.
Has anyone experienced this and/or have a solution?

I am suffering the same issue. Macbook pro 15 inch late 2009 with 8gig ram. I have a 256gb ssd newly installed, a dead superdrive (thanks a bunch for the drop in build quality without the drop in price apple) and an optibay caddy which i intend on having my 500gb 7200rpm previous HDD installed in. I had the normal annoying issues trying to get bootcamp working with an external optical drive. I then had the bright idea of taking my external optical drive case apart and discovered its a sata drive with a sata to usb convertor attached. Got bootcamp/win7 installed fine using the superdrives sata connector with the optical drive (essentially having a temporary internal optical drive again).
OSX and windows function fine as long as the optical drive stays connected. There does not need to be a disc in the drive, i thought windows might be getting boot info from the win disc. Osx boots fine if its just the ssd. Windows hangs with a white screen right at the beginning. Also doesnt boot using boot menu via alt key. Nor using the reEFIt boot menu (installed later now deleted).
Disk utility says it cannot repair the windows partition and says to back up the data and reformat the drive. This also happens if i use a normal sata drive. I am attempting a few more ideas but at this rate i will be virtual machining windows instead. Far from ideal but seeing as my windows pc is now officially no more and there are two pc only programs i need to use for university i dont have much choice i NEED windows. Anyone got a bright idea that may help?

Thinkpad L520 won't boot without nox2apic kernel parameter

I can't boot using any of the stock arch kernels since 3.2.0 unless I disable x2apic. There's a bug report at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43054, apparently it's affecting other thinkpads as well.
If anyone else is having problems, try adding nox2apic to your kernel command line or compiling a kernel without CONFIG_X86_X2APIC. And be aware that installing arch using the net install iso will require using this parameter or ignoring the linux package when downloading/installing packages.
Booting without disabling x2apic was completely locking up @ the line:
"ACPI: EC: Look up EC in DSDT"

Interesting. No issues here with a T410.

P55-GD65 won't boot with OC Genie activated

I have an P55-GD65 mobo that runs just fine with no problems except when I tried to activate the OC Genie. When I pressed the button and then tried to boot the machine -- it would begin the boot process then reboot over and over again without actually completing the boot process. When I pressed the OC Genie button again to deactivate it -- the machine booted just fine.
I've got Windows 7 Professional 64 bit installed.
What is my problem and how do I fix it so the OC Genie works?
Thanks,
Crockett

What is your current BIOS Version?

What memory frequency, timings and Comman Rate does the BIOS set when everything is set to default (check with CPU-Z)?
The BIOS has a tendency to automatically set the Command Rate to 1T instead of 2T which causes stability problems in many cases.
Quote
If the RAM is running at 1600MHz the OC Genie won't work properly.
There is a flip site to this kind of observation: The CPU does not natively support DDR3-1600 and most modules sold as DDR3-1600 are actually just factory overclocked DDR3-1333 modules that require higher than standard voltages settings to have a chance to run stable. This in itself already is an inherently tricky situation that does not get better when you enable the OC Genie.

MS-6309 won't boot after CPU switch

I have a MS-6309 v.2, with a PIII 1Gb and 256 RAM, worked fine. I had the brilliant idea of testing a Celeron 700. I JUST SWAP THE CPU'S, didn't touch anything else.
It didn't boot, got 4 red LEDs, no beeps and black screen. I thought it was a bad Celeron CPU, put back the PIII, and the SAME happens!!
I pulled everything out, started from scratch, cleared CMOS, no solution...
I'm desperate, any ideas?

One thing I've learned about computers is that; if it works, don't touch it. Unfortunately I can't keep my fingers away from those luscious computer components. So sometimes the inevitable happens..
Well, my motherboard went dead without me even touching it, so it must have been hyper sensitive. Perhaps you weren't properly discharged when you made that CPU swap - and ZWAPP! - the motherboard was dead. I can totally feel the frustration you're going through now, because I have experienced similar problems.
This post is rather worthless, isn't it? hmm. Feel free to read my thread on warranty. Afterwards we can share the frustration together.

I'm also having to post this from elinks because X won't start (or locks the term), but one problem at a time. lol
Does anyone know what else I can do to debug this. I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty.

Ok, bug report... >.> *cough*

2014 DFR X1 Carbon Won't Boot without AC Cord

‎11-30-2014 04:36 PM
Apparently have to start a new topic...so here goes...
Brand new machine.
can boot with AC cord attached (after 3 blinks of the power switch and the Red LED on laptop lid). but without, the laptop does not boot.
have installed the 1.18 bios and checked for any hardward drivers errors
please help.

I had this problem too and our engineer changed the motherboard which seems to have worked for some people but not for me. The engineer then noticed that the "intrusion switch" which is on a small 3cm sq board was a bit floppy.
He changed it for another board that had a switch that felt more positive and closed up the machine. After attaching the power for the initial boot up it has now worked on every boot up without any AC cord attached. Hope this helps.

Mac Mini won't boot up (CPU Halted)

Hi all, I have a Mac Mini with Leopard that has started refusing to boot up. I generally leave it switched on all the time but a couple of days ago the fan (I think) was getting pretty noisy so I shut it down. When I attempted to reboot the next morning it gave me the familiar chime, a silver screen, it then went through its normal scrolling white text on a black background before giving me a "CPU Halted" message and closing itself down. Anyone have any ideas? Does that sound like a fan or an internal battery issue? I wouldn't be too worried as I have a new iMac but there is one piece of software (cocoa booklet) on the Mac Mini I need to allow me complete a monthly parish magazine for the local church and it doesn't work on Snow Leopard. I don't mind cracking the Mini open if more info is required and would really appreciate any help you guys could provide...

Mac Minis are generally almost silent if they have free access to room temperature air and if their air intake ducts are not clogged with dust or animal fur.
The fact that your fan was running noisy suggests that the Mini was working very hard to stay cool. And the fact that you ran the Mini 24/7 gave it ample opportunity to suck in dust or fur.
If the Mini looks dusty, I would gently vacuum the vents on the bottom edge of the Mini. Don't use "canned air", as that will only push the dust further into the Mini.
The Mini's CPU will shut down if the Mini can't keep cool enough.
On the other hand, it is possible that the fan itself is failing, and that was the cause of the noise and the inadequate cooling.

K9N SLI won't boot without a video card

I am trying to launch my MB without a video card. During start up it makes several beeps and seems to halt without booting. I have set the BIOS option 'Halt on' to 'No errors', but it didn't help. Is there any way to overcome this problem?

I quite often read about configurations that successfully run without video (either onboard or discrete). It is typical for the headless machines.
Those machines redirect it to something else. Typical to RS-232 or Networkcard.
They are not your normal desktop board.
I have a headless machine here, called a Cobalt Raq2, it outputs the screen via RS-232, else it's impossible to install anything on it.
