P67A-GD65 (b2) stuck in boot loop after bad flash

Hello,
My mainboard is stuck, I can't open bios setup, (even tho it appears in f11 menu), and it won't boot on any device.
I removed every hard drive and DVD, and tried to boot on DOS with a usb, but it won't even boot DOS, and no usb device appears in f11 menu (I tried every usb ports)
And I can't enter bios setup (it just reboots)
Initially I was trying to update my bios because some features I wanted were not in my old version. But I think Avast blocked the update program (E7681v43.exe opened in an usb) and when I restarted the bios flash failed, and my PC entered a boot loop. When I press f11, it's a new interface so some things in the bios updated.
The only message I get when I put the E7681v43.exe and E7681IMS.430, or the files for v1j (oldest version before ivy bridge support) on a fat32 usb stick (tried formatted, and formated with Rufus), a red message appears saying "bios me updated ... file not found."
Same thing if I try the MSIHQ flash utility, it doesn't work as my PC won't boot on the usb.
I think my motherboard is bricked and the only solution is to send it to msi to get a working bios.
My motherboard p67a gd65 (b2) (the one with bad sata 2 ports) and it doesn't appear in the product name list anymore to register it on msi...
It was bought the on the 19th of January 2011, I hope I can still ask for msi for help!
I'm looking forward to your opinions on my issue, and sorry for the long text.

older b2 cannot be updated to the .4xx
you have to send the mobo to be replaced with newer revision
Thanks! do you know where can I ask for a replacement?
I can't register it on msi, and when I ask a question and I give the serial number it just abords...
I already send an email to msi France (I live in Belgium). But email are too slow usually.
and what about the secondary bios, no way to repair primary bios with it?

  • 4404 WLC stuck in boot loop after upgrade

    In prepping for the upgrade to 4.1.185.0 I've got two controllers at different sites stuck in a boot loop after applying 4.0.219.0. Units will not even get to the <ESC> option menu.
    ANy ideas?

    Did you clear the configuration on the controller by using Option 5 in the boot menu? This will corrupt the boot image. You should not choose the clear config (option 5) from the boot menu on controllers running 3.2.78.0, 3.2.116.21, 3.2.150.6 or 3.2.150.10, 3.2.171.5 or 3.2.171.6, 4.0.155.5 or 4.0.179.8 and 4.0.179.11.

  • Xperia Z1 stuck in boot loop after upgrade to lollipop!

    Hi,
    I tried to upgrade my Xperia Z1 to lollipop on my macbook - but it failed due to something about update server error. Now , the phone just tries to boot, shows the sony and xperia logo, backlight comes on - and then shuts down and cycles through this! I tried using EMMA and the phone is locked and says to go to sonymobile/update - but that says to use PCCOmpanion -  I have tried to use PCcompanion on a PC and folloed the instructions and it shows the start screen, select screen then just tells me to take the battery out and put the usb cable in again - obviously can't take the battery out - so i shutdown, put it in fastboot and it just does the same.
    HELP! Followed the upgrade procedure to the letter and now my phone looks like its bricked....hope sony will replace as it was their fault! Or can someone help me!?!?!?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You may need to perform a software repair using PC Companion.The process will erase all internal memory.You might need to charge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 60% battery.
    Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device).
    Open PC companion->support zone->phone/tablet software update->repair my phone/tablet blue highlighted.Follow the steps given,do not connect your phone until prompted to press volume down while plugging USB cable. If PC companion does not start the repair process, you might need to run it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 (in some cases XP).

  • Iphone 4 stuck in boot loop after failed ios5 restore/update

    i'm sure this question has already been answered and i just can't find it.  After attempting to update/ restore my iphone 4 gsm to ios 5 it recieved an odd error code something with =yes at the end. Now my phone just keep rebooting: apple screen, spining disk, loading bar like during a restore for 1 second then it repeats this process. Itunes will not reconized the device unless i force it into dfu or recovery mode. I have tried everything to get it to restore dfu, recovery, the previous firmware 4.3.5 and everything gives the error "this device isn't eligible for this build." any tips possible sulotion would be great as of right now i have a bricked iphone 4

    I had a similar problem on mine with the same symptoms so I called apple since my PC couldn't even see my iPhone 4 when it was plugged in. The rep told me to hold the home button and on/off switch like when doing a hard resatart and hold those two buttons together for 10 seconds and once 10 seconds pass then release the on/off switch but continue holding the home button until the phone shows up again under "devices" in iTunes.

  • 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???

  • My ipod is stuck in a boot loop after restoring

    My iPod touch 4g is in a boot loop after restoring
    It will boot up but 10 seconds later after the unlock screen it goes into the apple boot screen please help!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My 5c is stuck in boot loop!

    I have only had the phone for 2 months and it is now stuck in boot loop. It is not been jailbroken at all. It first started yesterday and it just kept resetting itself every time i went to press something, so i left it over night and it has worked all day. As soon as i got home it started again, and now is stuck on the apple logo screen and the logo just fades in and out. I have tried everything to make it work, i've tried to put it into recovery mode, i've tried DFU. I've tried to connect it to itunes and it won't even be recognized as a device! Do i need to take it to an apple stockist? and does anyone know what could have caused this? I have only downloaded apps from the app store and don't think i've opened anything i shouldn't have, Thanks!

    If you have used DFU mode correctly and you cannot restore it the phone has a hardware problem.

  • MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) Boot loop after BIOS update

    Hi,
    I've just updated my BIOS to 7681v42 from an earlier version (can't remember which one exactly) and after the update I am stuck in a boot loop. The computer turns on for about 5 seconds or so and then switches back off, the CPU fan, motherboard fan & video card fan spin for a few seconds then power is cut.
    I've tried booting up with nothing else connected (no vga, memory, hdd, empty USB slots) to no avail. I have tried resetting the CMOS as well but I don't get any further than the reset loop.
    Can anyone suggest something? Is there any way to force the MB to use the backup BIOS?
    Thanks in advance.

    You can try doing this again with a single stick of ram or some different ram, but more than likely you will need to rma the board for re-flashing.

  • P67a-c43 boot loop after bios update

    Last night, I attempted to update the bios on my P67A-C43 (B3) board using the version 5.1 bios. After the BIOS installed, it restarted and came up with the "all settings were reset to default values. press f1 to run setup. press f2 to continue" I hit f2 and my system keeps resetting in an infinite boot loop. I was able to reset the BIOS using the reset button on the back of the board to get back to the bios prompt, but pressing either f1 or f2 puts it back into the boot loop. Any help would be appreciated.

    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).

  • Iphone 3gs ios 6.1 stuck in boot loop even after restore

    What happen was it froze so I did a hard rest after that it stayed on a boot loop. Done restored it several times stayed the same after I do a restore itunes does recognize the iphone but it stays on the Apple logo can anyone help

    Something does not sound right with your story. An iPhone 3g is only capable of running iOS4.2.1 and not 6.1.6. Since the iPhone now appears to have relocked itself to the original carrier, it sounds like that iPhone is jailbroken to allow it to run a version of iOS that it not supposed to and to unlock illegal from the original carrier. Either get you details straight or we can't help you.

  • Ipod Stuck in "boot Loop" and itunes says I'm not connected to the internet.

    Aright well I'm having a huge problem fixing my ipod.    Let's start at the beginning, i wanted to put new music onto my ipod but itunes wasn't detecting my ipod, it said i have to restore my ipod to factory settings, so i manually did it from the ipod it's self.   When it started to boot up again it just froze at the apple logo. and the loading wheel is stuck. after some research i found out that its called "boot loop" and the only way to fix this is to restore it from itunes itself.
    sounds simple enough,  so i go ahead and connect the ipod to itunes and try to restore it (via DFU mode) The restore wont happen because it says im not connected to the Internet, when clearly i am.      So in a nutshell..   in order to restore my ipod.. i need to get itunes to recognize that I'm connected to the Internet.
    I've done everything i can think of,   make sure my firewall isn't interfering and itunes is enabled.  The Internet proxy is what it needs to be.  Ive uninstalled and reinstalled itunes.   I actually chatted with a apple tech and he couldn't seem to help me out.
    If anyone can help me or has been in this situation and know's exactly what to do.   please let me know.. it would be greatly appericated

    That was the first thing I tried..what the site told me, but its still telling me I'm not connected to the internet when I am. Should I just delete everything by hand. Like I said I wanted to take it back and upgrade to the 80 gig ipod.

  • P67A-GD65 (B3) will not boot with external USB DVD connected.

    Damnedest thing... just put the build together last night and this was the biggest issue. If I connect my external Samsung USB DVD RW the system stops booting and only displays (B3) in the bottom right corner of my display. If I remove the USB plug the system boots and operates normally. If I connect it to the USB port after boot the system recognizes it and it works fine. The same issue occurs no matter which USB2/3 port I plug it into. I've banged around the BIOS and cannot see any issues in the boot sequence that would indicate an issue. Anyone else in das same boot?

    I just came to the forum for the same reason. I'm glad you had a thread already going. Mine is a Seagate 1.5T USB 2.0 hard drive and the screen reads 98 in the lower right corner. Hopefully MSI will get this fixed soon. Other than that the new system is running great.
    They are working on it. They sent me a BETA BIOS to try out. The BIOS v1.10B3 was dated 3-17-2011 and it nearly bricked my system though.  Here is the response I sent to them the other night after a few hours with a massive headache trying to bring my system back up:
    Quote
    Tried the new BIOS. While it did indeed fix the USB DVD boot issue and let me boot into windows it created a few new issues. After flashing the new BIOS would not recognize my old overclocking profiles from the v1.8 BIOS.. "hole" error. So I manually adjusted all the settings and saved the new settings. I copied them EXACTLY from my previous settings.. I had screenshots which I had printed out as a fool-proof guide. After rebooting I could no longer get into windows. BSOD. If I tried entering the BIOS by tapping the DEL button while booting the system would freeze at the "entering setup...." screen and never progress into the actual BIOS. I unplugged the power, waited a few minutes and held the clear CMOS button on the back panel down for a few seconds. After rebooting I no longer had video output. After much trial and error I ended up having to also unplug my LCD and cycle power on it as well to get video back. But could still bot get into the BIOS by tapping the DEL key during boot. Luckily I have a laptop with all the files on it and I was able to finally re-flash back to the v1.8 BIOS from a USB drive. I'm not sure what exactly you changed.. but I don't think this new BIOS version should leave BETA status.
    To their credit they promptly responded the next AM:
    Quote
    There were some changes to the CPU voltage, so your overclock settings may not work properly. We are still working on a 1.A release version. It will be updated to our website soon. http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD65--B3-.html#/?div=BIOS
    I only wish they had informed me of the changes to the CPU voltage up front or included a change log so I could have made an informed decision as to whether or not I wanted to try the BETA BIOS. I was under the impression (mistakenly) that it simply addressed the USB DVD issue. I'll wait for the new release BIOS. I can live without the external USB DVD being plugged in at boot. Bricking my MOBO and having to RMA would be a far less desirable outcome. :p That said.. I'd still recommend this MOBO. It has relatively few issues and MSI support is responsive so far.

  • Incredible 2 Stuck at boot loop

    I have had this phone for only 2 months now and after removing several unused apps from the device it froze, so I removed the battery and tried to turn it back on. All it does is go through the booting loop and gets stuck at the droid red eye. Is this fixable or am I screwed???

    I have already done that. Not exactly the option most people want considering you lose all information. Time consuming and annoying to say the least.
    I know but there isn't many solutions for a bootloop situation, HTC doesn't have a clear cache option without voiding warrenty and Safe Mode only works if you can get past the boot logo..
    You can try pulling battery during booting up and then leave it out for a few minutes and then place battery back in and power up, this works sometimes..
    Also you can pull battery and with battery out press power button for 10 seconds and then put battery back in and power up, this forces a boot sometimes.

  • Windows 10 Upgrade infinite boot loop after reset

    I did a Windows 10 upgrade on an old computer with these specs:-Windows 7 Pro- 64 bit-Dell Optiplex 755-4 GB RAM-Intel Core2 Duo processor Everything ran fine after the upgrade. However I wanted to do a clean install. So I did so and chose the option to not keep any files or programs. It went through the process and was stalled at 99% for some time. I let it run over night. I came back and looked at it about 16 hours later and the 99% was gone, but the "hourglass" was still going. I pressed Escape and then CTRL+ALT+Delete to try to get it to respond. Now it is stuck in an infinite boot loop. It will reboot and then after several minutes it brings up an error message of "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart...- Inaccessible boot device." Then it restarts and the loop starts over.I've tried booting into safe mode using F8, but...
