[P67a-GD65] [Ivy] Infinite reboot loop after flash

MSIHQ: Information detected by MSIHQ Tool ver: 1.25g
MSIHQ: Report generated in Tue 01/01/2013 at 13:31:41.33
Mainboard: P67A-GD65 (MS-7681) - CPU i5-3570K
PCB Version: 2.0
BIOS Version: V4.2
BIOS Date: 7/16/2012
Attempted to upgrade to https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.0
Due to the inability to hold any overclocks with any voltage besides auto, and because the Windows MSI control center wouldn't keep settings on startup.
Installed the forum flash tool on a USB drive and it wasn't bootable.
Tried with another flash drive and it wasn't bootable.
Used the on-BIOS tool to flash the BIOS
Flashed, rebooted, and began reboot looping.
Cleared CMOS - nope
Removed battery and cleared CMOS - nope
Removed all but one stick of RAM - nope
Is it bricked? If so, how do I get a replacement/repair?
Edit, was perusing the forums and found this:
Forum flasher defaults to looking for zip files, if you pick rar from the drop down it should accept the file just fine, if you don't use method 1 you won't get the ME flashed.
It's lovely that that's documented and pointed out in the flashing tool's post, and it's rather odd that all of the BIOSes are saved in .rar archives if the flasher looks for .zip. I used method 2.

You should use "Fix My USB key" Tool's option 1st before prepare the stick if you having troubles booting from the USB key.
I realized that after the fact.
have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed and leave 1 memory stick only in 1st DIMM close to CPU socket?
I just did that, and it unfortunately continues to loop.
I guess I'll get it packaged up and into the mail. Thanks for the help guys.
When I do get it fixed, what BIOS will it come with?

PRS-T1 stuck in infinite reboot loop after failed firmware update

Hi,
I tried to update the firmware, but failed when updating to version 1.0.07.05070. Tried to 2 times. The first time it failed I simply tried again. The second time, it took a lot longer to reach the failed to update message, but it did cause the ereader to reboot.
Now, it's stuck in an infinite reboot loop on the "Opening book" page. The progress bar on that page stays completely empty, lasts for about 30 seconds, and reboots again. This will go one until the battery is dead or indefinitely if plugged in.
I have tried pressing the Home + Menu buttons, but they seem to have no effect.
Please advise if there is anything I can try to revive it?
Thanks in advanced.
David
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Kiroken,
Here is what I have observed:
- After a hard boot (reset + power button during 3+ seconds), if I don't do anything, it will reboot every ~30seconds.
- If I press and hold the Home and Menu buttons, no effect. The same as if I didn't press anything.
- If I press the Forward + Back buttons (2 & 4), it does not reboot after 30 seconds. Instead, the orange light on the power button blink every ~2-3 seconds.
- Any other key combinations that I have tried have no effect.
I have tried with and without several rescue sdcard. No difference. No improvement. In every case, the computer never sees the reader. If plugged into the power outlet, it seems like the battery charges alright. It does not appear to charge if plugged into USB port.
That's all I know. If I can't fix it, I might be forced to turn it into a coaster or maybe a cutting board for the kitchen.

MSI z77a-G45 Infinite Reboot Loop

Hello,
Here are my system specs:
Core i5 3570K
Hyper212 Plus
Intel 330 180 GB SSD (with OS on it)
WD 1TB Black (for data)
MSI z77a-G45 motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws 8 GB RAM
EVGA GTX 660 FTW Signature 2
Corsair TX650m PSU
Lite-on iHAS124-04 Optical DVD Drive
Corsair 200R case
I should mention the following up front: I don't know what is causing my problem, but my guess is it's either PSU or motherboard.
Nothing in my system is overclocked (except for the fact that my GTX 660 card comes factory OC'd). Here is my issue. Yesterday, I shut down my computer and everything was normal. I didn't change anything at all. Today in the evening, I tried to power on my computer, and it simply goes into an infinite reboot loop. I don't see anything on the monitor, nothing comes up. The computer powers on for about 10 seconds, and then powers off for about 5-6 seconds, and it keeps repeating this process. Actually getting this process to stop is a bit tricky (I think I have to hold down the power button for several seconds when the computer is off). Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried a few things, like checking to make sure the 8 pin and 24 pin cables are tight. I've tried resetting CMOS and taking out the CMOS battery. Ideas? Thank you.

Hi guys. I know this thread is 2 and a half months old but I need to find a solution to this problem. It may have been better to start a new thread, excuse me for not doing it as my problem is quite similar.
Well, my situation is a bit different and I will explain it shortly but first I'll give you my PC specs.
MSI Z77A-G45
Intel i5-3570
Corsair DDR3 8GB (2x4)Kit 1600MHz Vengeance
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT
So when I assembled my PC I put one RAM in DIMM2 and the other in DIMM4. This led to an infinite reboot loop. The fans and the leds were working but nothing was displayed on the screen. After doing some tests removing and inserting again the RAMs with different combinations I came to the conclusion that this infinite reboot loop is occurring when a RAM is inserted either in DIMM1 or DIMM2. My PC works fine if I connect the RAMs in DIMM3 and DIMM4 but not with the DIMM1-DIMM3, DIMM1-DIMM4, DIMM2-DIMM3, DIMM2-DIMM4 combinations.
At first I thought one of my RAMs might be corrupt but after the tests I see that both work fine and I'm starting to believe that the Motherboard has the problem.
Any ideas? This is really frustrating.

HT6114 Reboot loop after 10.9.2 upgrade

My 2009 (dual-quad) Mac Pro 4,1 is now stuck in a reboot loop after upgrading from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2.
//edit: I realized there wasn't a question: What is wrong with my computer and how do I fix it?
So far I have tried:
* Repairing the disk
* Repairing permissions
* Zapping the NVRAM/PRAM
* Resetting SMC
* Copying BootCache.playlist from a backup to /var/db
Other things to note about my setup:
In addition to the original hard drive, I installed a 4tb drive from which I have been working with since June. It is the 4tb drive that has 10.9.2 installed. The original 650gb still has 10.8.4 installed and all my original data pre-June.
Also installed is a VisionTek Radeon 7870 video card which powers my numerous monitors. I do not recall having to install anything extra, or modify any settings to get it to work. The only downside is you can't really see anything when booting.
In addition to the VisionTek card I also have one of the factory Geforce 120 cards installed. Using another monitor attached to that card I've been able to monitor the boot process using the command-v verbose output.
Of notable interest I get the dreaded "BootCache: unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist : 2" error, along with a few SMC errors. If these are important I can attach pictures taken of the boot process.
I am able to zap the NVRAM and boot the old 10.8.4 650gb drive. It loads fine. 10.9.2 will not boot into safe mode, but will boot into recovery mode.
As a final attempt to fix the BootCache error I copied it from a Time Machine backup into /var/db/ ensuring the correct permissions were set. After rebooting the file is deleted again.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this issue as this is my work computer. I do have full backups via Time Machine so I can reinstall, but I'm hoping there's another solution.

I just started a discussiion related to this topic in "Mac Pro."
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25019730#25019730
" I have a 2009 dual quad core Mac Pro (4.1) with an upgraded Radeon 7950 GPU. I use a 30" Apple Cinema display (DVI) and a 27" LED Cinema Display (Display Port). After updating to 10.9.2, the Mac would not boot, but went on a continuous re-boot cycle every 5-10 minutes without a flicker of life in either display. I unplugged both displays and the Mac booted. I could log in remotely from my laptop. I then attached the 30" Cinema Display into the DVI port and the Mac booted normally."

Random iPhone crashes and reboot loop after iOS 7 upgrade

Hi all
Since I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7, I suffer from random crashes/resets, where my iPhone reboots and enters a reboot loop (Apple logo, black screen, reboot, Apple logo, black screen, reboot, etc) that I can only exit by restoring the device (resetting doesn't help).
Some more information
a) The device: iPhone 4, 32 GB, has never been jailbroken, and has never shown any similar issues before.
b) The crashes/reboots: I haven't been able yet to find a pattern when and why they happen. I had reboots when searching for an app, when pluging in the wall charger, when entering the access code, and even when doing nothing at all (iPhone in my pocket). The only constant is the reboot loop after the crash.
c) What I tried so far: I restored the device several times, using normal restore (with the iTunes logo) and DFU mode (black screen). After that, I recovered from a recent backup (takes some hours), and everything is ok again - for some hours, until the next crash and reboot loop. I also set up the device as a new phone, and there it seems stable, so I exclude a hardware issue. I tried quite a few of the advices that I found when googling for reboot loops: reset all settings (this led to an another immediate crash and reboot loop), disable app background refresh, etc.
I've been using this device for my daily business. With the current instability (and the couple of hours it takes to bring it back to life again), it became more or less useless. I wish I could downgrade again (I know that I can't). My assumption is that either iOS 7, or some incompatible app or some corrupt setting is causing this situation. But I don't know how to proceed to isolate and eliminate the issue. I really would like to avoid setting up everything from scratch again.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

All,
First of all, sorry for my half-finished post above. While typing, I was interrupted, and by reflex I hit CMD-S. Unfortunately, the stupid interface of Apple's support website interpreted that as a submit command. I tried to complete my text with the update function, but when finally hitting the submit button, I got an error message, and all my updated text was gone... No way to bring it back, and also no way to delete the half-baked posting. Quite frustrating.
Now, to complete what I started above:
In my case, the problem definitely had something to do with the springboard process (an iOS system 'app' that manages the iOS homescreens) and the watchdog process (another iOS system 'app' that monitors certain things on your phone and that can initiate a restart when it thinks the phone is frozen). In the folder '/Users/<your account>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<your phone>' I could see what caused my crashes; they were all 'stack+SpringBoard' and the reason in these crash log files was 'Watchdog timeout'.
The following two forum posts helped me:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1676330?start=30&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20794982#20794982
I'm quite sure that my issues had to do with the 'application map' that is mentioned in the above posts. So far, Ive been thinking that it was just too large (as in the case of Andi1996 [second link above]), but jmbladen's observation seems not to support this. So, the absolute number might not the source of the problem, but I still assume that something went wrong with my application map during the upgrade from iOS6 to iOS7. I remember having stability problems before, as soon as all my 10 home screens were full of apps and newly downloaded apps would generate additional pages (only visible via iTunes). Considering that there are some fundamental changes to how we can organize apps within folders in iOS 7, it can well be that the springboard process just wasn't able to cope with my application map correctly within the 120 seconds before the watchdog process restarts the phone. My massive cleanup action must have fixed this somehow.
@jmbladen: I'm only using iCloud for the 'find my phone' functionality, so all the backup & recovery was done via iTunes from my local harddisk. And there was no temporal pattern for my crashes before. You might suffer from the same symptoms, but probably not because of the same cause.
My advice for anyone affected by random crashes and a reboot loop is to check out the directory with the CrashReporter logs mentioned above to find out what app or process causes the crash. If it's the springboard and watchdog problem, then you should try to clean up your home screens (from iTunes). Maybe the absolute number of apps is not that important, but make sure that you reduce the number of screens. And then sync and backup before you start using the phone again. In my case it helped.
Hope this helps someone else too.
P.S. Once you know the right keywords to search for, you find forum postings back to 2008 / iOS 2 describing exactly the same problem. This reboot loop is a very nasty issue, and it is hard to understand that Apple still hasn't been able to address this, or at least provide some better help on how to get out of it again.

P67A-GD65 Power Cycle (Rebooting)

CPU: i7-2600k
RAM: F3-12800CL6D-4GBXH DDR3-1600 (CL6-8-6-24)
Motherboard: P67A-GD65
Motherboard BIOS: 1.8?
Hello, I have recently purchased a P67A-GD65 from newegg along with a 2600k and G.SKILL DDR3-1600 (F3-12800CL6D-4GBXH)
The problem I am having is that the motherboard will stay on for about 5 seconds then it will reboot, and continue to do so until I turn off the power from the PSU. It will not post so I cannot access the bios or anything.
I have been in contact with msi tech support and they keep telling me to do what I have already done so many times.
I already returned my board for a replacement once but the replacement had the same power cycling issues. I am thinking of buying some cheap 1333 CL9 RAM to see if I can manage to get into the UEFI and see if I can tweak something into making my RAM work
I went on to the G.SKILL forum and found an interesting thread about RAM incompatiblities. Could this be causing the constant reboots?
(Have cleared CMOS many times, tried different PSU, ETC)
tl;dr
Is my RAM causing the P67A-GD65 to continuously reboot without posting?
Bought some Patriot 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 CL9 RAM from newegg today to see if those will work.
Your help is greatly appreciated, Thanks!

Alright, the new ram I bought should arrive in a few days (3 or 4).
In the meantime while waiting, try this. With one stick RAM in the primary blue dimm slot, if you get in to the BIOS then, set DRAM Mode to 'Link', timings to 9 9 9 24, tRFC 88, DRAM V. to 1.507 or 1.521. Looking at those timings of the G.Skills in your component list, SPD being set must be rather non standard (just a guess).

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...

These days, there are many ways to combine electronics. Custom gaming PC? No problem. Raspberry Pi arcade? Easy. GoPro on the hood of your RC car? Awesome!I thought up this combo, a tiny portable computer with a huge screenhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0FC-001H-00017&cm_re=pico_projector-_-0FC-001H-0...http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883400001&cm_re=compute_stick-_-83-400-001...What are some of your cool tech combos?

Tour in Reboot Loop after Installing new Messenger

Hi all,
A couple of weeks ago I got a message saying there was a new version of messenger available, so of course I upgraded. After install it wanted a reboot so I did, but the phone never came back. It would start to boot for a couple of minutes but never make it to the desktop. I tried a battery pull with no change.
I ended up reloading the OS (latest Verizon 4.7 release) and all my apps and the phone was fine.
Today I got a message saying, of course, "a new version of messenger is available..." so guess what I did?!?! Yep, and bricked the phone again, it's just in a reboot loop. No error messages, it just constantly reboots without ever making it to the desktop.
I did some searching but haven't found much on this exact problem. Anybody have any ideas? I guess for now I will just avoid the new messenger as I don't really use it that much, but it would be nice if it worked.
TIA

You don't have to have it (the 5.0.0.57 version of BBMessenger) loaded, if you used it much you would see the advantages.
But, If you don't use it, don't worry.
I think there is likely some third party app conflcting with you, but that is another whole long drawn out search .

IPod touch 4g 6.1.6 stuck in reboot loop after trying to restore

My ipod touch 4g has a really bad battery and only works if you have it plugged in and charging, but I've never had this problem before. I unplugged it from where it was charging and it died, of course. But when I plugged it into my computer to sync it, it started an endless reboot loop with the apple logo. I tried putting it into dfu mode and restoring it, I've tried doing it on three other macs, and the I've let the battery drain since it dies when I unplug it. Still dont know what the problem is. I cant take it to apple cause I dont have apple care on it and they cant help because the battery doesnt work anyway. Help is much appriciated.

See if y misse anything here:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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. You do not need AppleCare and it is free.

Reboot loop after software update

My phone is also in constant reboot loop since the update. I tried deleting app after app with no luck. What is going on? Is there anything I can do? I also have tried the master reset, I highlighted recovery pressed the volume up and it went into reboot loop mode again. Any suggestions??

I know its frustrating to have a phone that is rebooting constantly Jimlpn. I'm sorry the steps provided in the other thread did not work. Is your phone damaged? Replacing the phone may be the next step. You can also take your phone to a corporate store location for a hands on evaluation. Is your phone under the 1year manufactures warranty and do you have insurance?

Z77 MPower loop after flash BIOS

Hi to all people,
after flashing BIOS from 17.7B4 to 17.8 (from uSB drive in "BIOS Utilities") the video is black and system is on restart loop but nothing else.
Try to unplug power system, reset button, gotobios button, clear CMOS with jumper (in power off) but nothing to do: only continuos auto-loop on/off between 20 seconds circa !
Please help, very frustrating situation.
p.s.: system is in signature, is working great... prior to.

Quote from: Caronte on 30-May-13, 01:26:30
Hello
manual of Z77 report "do not multi-BIOS switch when the system is powered on".
I have to go anymore ?
Ty,
Adry aka Caronte
ignore that in this situation as its the only way to recover the Failed BIOS without paying a shop to SPI flash the failed chip! (switching BIOS while its on will only cause errors on the chip you switched to but as yours is bricked it cant make it any worse) this will allow you to tell that BIOS CHIP upon restart to Flash by imprinting a copy of the open M-FLASH utility to the chip that can then allow the chip to be re flashed to a functional recovered state.
so just disregard that warning in the manual as the described way we have suggested has a good track record of successfully recovering a bricked chip on M-Power and other boards outfitted with the Multi BIOS hardware switch so just give it a go and all should be good.
the live switching to recover BIOS has been successfully done many times and the info in the manual doesn't have any weight regarding Bricked Chips only ones that are functioning correctly...

P67A GD55 Windows fails to boot after flashing

Hi!
Tried to update my bios today using Live Update 5. Everything went according to plan until it was time to reboot after the succesful flashing. It started booting and everything was fine. The windows loading screen appears but then i get a message that something is wrong and it tries to repair it. Of course this fails and i've also tried to do a system repair using a back up.
I'm running windows 8 64-bit.
Got a Intel i7 2600k 3.4ghz cpu.
The old bios was from 2010 something.
I cannot get into the bios either when pressing f8 or del.
Any help is appreciated.

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
http://www.msi.com/product/mb/P67A-GD55.html#/?div=BIOS
Try to re-flash to 1C, make sure to use the forum flash tool. You will need to install the tool on another computer and use that computer to prepare the flash drive.
Then try to boot from the flash drive.
1 min just in case I am going to attached special archive. Make sure that is your board.
Use option 1 of the forum flash tool and point it at the attached archive. This will flash you ME version as well if needed.
That is my board. Can i use that forum flash tool on a mac? I only have mac computers in my house except for my gaming rig.
Edit. I read in the thread you can only use it on Windows systems. Guess i will have to wait until tomorrow and borrow a Windows computer. Is there a chance the whole Motherboard is garbage now?

IOs 5 Update sent iPhone 4 into infinite reboot loop!

I see that many people are having issues with the update not working, but I haven't come across someone with the issue I have.
I tried to update to iOs 5, but it forced my phone into recovery mode. After trying to restore it to factory setting several times, receiving multiple errors, my iPhone 4 is now stuck in an infinite loop of showing the startup screen (apple logo) then the spinning circle. It cannot be reset, and it is not detected by itunes. I tried all of the suggestions on the pages the errors linked me to, but nothing worked.
I have no idea what to do...
Suggestions?

Well, lots of people are saying that Apple is the new Windows. There are, unfortunately, right.
As Apple keeps growing, the problems on my Mac and iPhone keep growing, too.
My iPhone 4 is in an Infinite Loop, rebooting the whole time.
After 7 hours (!!!!) of attempts, I finally found this solution: keep the power and home button pushed in, then release the power button and only keep the home button pushed in. Then you can update (if Apple lets you, my iPhone is still restoring after more than 1 hour).
This is really a shame and very bad publicity for Apple. Last year Antennagate, now Upgate, what's next?

P67A-GD65 : Boot sequence keeps changing after installing SSD

Hi,
Before I had the SSD, all was fine and running on IDE. After installing SSD and changing mode to AHCI, the boot sequence keeps changing after reboot. I did not reset the CMOS after installing the SSD. I had disabled all boot except for the SSD (which is connected to SATA Port 1). And I did save by pressing F10 after changing the sequence in BIOS.
Appreciate your advise.
Thank you.

I have the same problem. The board decides to try and boot from some other device, even though the SSD is detected. Very annoying.
I'm using the sata cable that came with the board; e.g. brand new.
