P67A GD65 new beep on boot after bios upgrade [error sound]

Hello,
I've just updated my bios (from 1.7 to 1.E) and I have now an additional beep at the start of the machine.
I was used to have 4 beeps at the same tone, then another one after a pause with a higher tone. But now i have a beep at the beggining with a lower tone, which really sounds like a problem.
I updated the bios this way :
Downloading this zip http://www.msi.com/service/download/bios-17245.html
Unzipping and copying to usb key
Entering UEFI then Setting>M-Flash>Select one file to update bios, selection of the 1.E0 file.
Do i need to do something else ?
I've also tried to use LiveUpdate5, it updates to 1.D0, but same problem.

Yes, I have the same beeps. The middle beeps should be from how many USB devices the BIOS detected connected to your computer. Again this is normal. If you want to know exactly what each beep in the sequence means, contact MSI tech support and they should be able to tell you. I have also not been able to find any documentation as to what the beeps sequence actually stand for except for the middle beeps being USB devices connected. I really would not worry too much about it if your computer is booting correctly and loading into your OS. If that is the case, there is nothing wrong.

  • Help Please - X200 will not boot after Bios Upgrade - keeps asking for power on password

    Hi there,
    I am new to this forum and please let me say a big Thank You for your help in advance.
    I am using a lenovo thinkpad x200 running windows vista with service pack 1. 
    The laptop has always been running fine and has never given me any issues. Unfortunately, all this came to an end yesterday when I ran the system assistant which did a round of updates and it prompted me to reflash my bios. 
    I did what was instructed and closed all open applications and after the laptop restarted, there was a noise from the harddisk (the sound was basically like what happens if the harddisk suddenly loses power). Then, all i got was a black screen, no harddisk acitvity with only the power cable LED and another LED (with the shape of a N tiled at 20 degrees) on. 
    I searched the forum and did what was suggested in this entry: http://forum.lenovo.com/t5/X-Series-ThinkPad-Laptops/Blank-screen-after-Bios-Upgrade-on-X200/ta-p/29... 
    This is what I did so far"
    I turned off the power, took out the backup battery and waited for about 30 minutes (repeated this step several times, also removing the harddisk) but to no avail.
    I removed the RAM and tried booting and there was that characteristic beeping sound. 
    I replaced the RAM, redid the CMOS clearing, and now there is the Lenovo startup screen. However, there would be an error code 0271 (no date time) and 0251 (something about default configuration). Then, these disappear and all I am left with is the Bios Power On password prompt. Somehow no matter what I type nothing can be input into the field (and I did not create any password as far as I can remember).
    I redid the clearing for the power on password by removing the backup battery as suggested at the bottom of this page http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=migr-59377   but it is no use. Each time I restart, even if I press the blue Think Vantage button or F1 or F11, I still get the same 0271 and 0251 error messages and am left with the power on password prompt. 
    I am really desperate as I really like my lenovo x200 and there is important data on the laptop. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can solve this. Its amazing how a simple update can turn into such a disaster. Now i know i should never upgrade or update my Bios (or at least proceed with extreme caution).
    Anyone can provide some help to get my laptop workin again?
    Thank you very much,
    Mark

  • P67A-C45 (B3) impossible to boot after BIOS

    Hi !
    I've just assembled my new config and I experience some boot problems:
    MSI P67-C45 (B3)
    Intel I5 2400S
    GSkill 2x4Go Ripjaws
    HIS Radeon 6670
    Seasonic XSeries Fanless 400W
    After assembling, I powered it on for the first time, reached the BIOS succesfully then tried to install an OS from CD and it is impossible to boot it. I tried from several CDs ans USB key without success. From the F11 boot menu, I tried to choose the CD/DVD or the key, without success. Each time the power turned off and the PC rebooted. Everything component seems well detected in the BIOS, CPU is listed, SATA components too...
    I checked everything without success... There is one thing that I don't know about is the active phase switching leds. In the MB manual, there are 2 situations listed: OOOX and OOOO but I get another situation as soon as the power is on. The first led is goes on instantly and then the third and fourth so I have the configuration OXOO. I searched the MSI site and the Internet but didn't find if this is a sign of troubleshooting.
    Thanks for your help !

    On all my mainboards in the 6 series, all the LEDs are lit when in the UEFI/BIOS. This could possibly indicate pin/CPU contact problems in the CPU socket, but not positive of that.
    Thx, that's exactly what I was thinking in the first place. One more question, in that case, would it be possible that the BIOS is working just fine with CPU detected ? Because I have no problem in the BIOS, the CPU is well detected, I just can't boot after it... In one hand, BIOS makes me think CPU is OK, in the other hand, the leds make me think something's wrong...

  • X79A-GD45 windows 7 freezes during boot after bios upgrade/usb 3.0 drivers inst.

    Hello,
    After I upgraded my bios from 1.3 to 1.4 I noticed I still had some not properly installed hardware in the computer management screen, so I used live update 5 and found the the Renesas USB3.0 Drivers. The system runs fine, except from a cold start.
    When starting the machine, windows freezes on the 4 colour logo, before the usb initializes (this I can tell from the keyboard not lighting up).
    A forced reboot does not help. However, going in the bios (to check if all drives are functional) and then booting, does. After this the machine runs fine again.
    Now my question is, is this caused by the new bios or by the Renesas USB3.0 Drivers? Or is it something completely different?
    Thanks a lot,
    Floris

    Using LU5 often ends up this way doing UEFI/BIOS updates dead board!
    In the future, recommend to use the forum flasher found here with instructions on how to use it; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.0
    After a flash, it is also recommended to remove the power cord from the PSU, remove the battery for awhile, clear CMOS & reset.

  • Not booting after BIOS upgrade in T500

    I upgraded my T500 from BIOS 3.09 to 3.18 using the windows upgrade utility (6fuj42us.exe?). The upgrade went fine. I rebooted the machine and got the login windows screen (I have windows XP professional). However, the instructions of the BIOS upgrade called to enter into the BIOS and press the F9 key in order to set all the system defaults. After that the machine did not boot. It gives me the initial windows booting screen (windows flags) and then a blue screeen. I downgraded the BIOS to 3.15 using the bootable CD utility (6fuj39uc.iso?). The downgrade went fine. I can get into the BIOS but have exactly the same problem when loading windows. Unfortunately I could not find a similar bootable program for BIOS 3.09 only the windows executable program (6fuj34us.exe?). Is there any fix other than reinstalling windows? Thanks.

    Hi malope,
    please enter the Bios and check the HDD is switched to compatible mode instead of AHCI Mode.
    Maybe than you can start Windows.

  • K7n2-L wont boot after bios upgrade

    I have been very happy with the motherboard since i bought it in april 2003, been very stable and only had minor usb problems.  And i finally decided to upgrade the bios from v. 3.7 to v. 4.1.
    After the upgrade the machine boots up to the first windows that shows me the memory and the hard disk i have installed.  I can also go into BIOS.
    But the PC stops when its about to start booting up the HD or CDrom. According to the lights on the D-Bracket its trying to initializing the floppy controller.
    There has never been a floppy drive in this PC before(i booted the PC on CDROM when i upgraded the BIOS).
    I have tried  the following things without success;
    installed a floppy drive.
    Cleared the CMOS(with the jumper)
    Unplugged the cdrom and the hard disk.
    Tried every memory configuration.
    jumped the safe mode jumper.
    It seems to me that i can only fix this by changing the BIOS chip....or the mainboard.
    Anyone had this problem?

    Azraeliz,
    Sounds to me like perhaps you've overlooked a setting in the BIOS
    Did you take note of the BIOS settings prior to flashing so you could put the settings back the way they were?
    nuckelavee,
    I suggest you start your own thread. I have a hard time believing there is no CMOS jumper.
    Tried this? ***Starting your K7N2 Delta2 at default settings***

  • Satellite L300 refuses to boot after BIOS upgrade

    Hi,
    My girlfriend's L300 was lagging terribly so we decided to format C:. We did this with the accompanying XP restore disk.
    Then we had to upgrade the drivers. We started the installation of the BIOS upgrade from the Toshiba driver website, went away for a while and when we came back the computer had restarted of itself.
    It was stuck in a cycle of the "windows loading" screen and the one with a bottom bar that says press F2 for this or F12 for that. Tried all options in the boot menu, not even safe mode works.
    We tried to reformat with the previous method, by inserting XP CD and holding down the 'C' button while starting. We get the familiar 'Windows Setup' screen, and it seems to load all the windows setup files from the CD. But when we get to the installation, we get a blue screen error message. 'A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.....Technical information: ***STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF78D254,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
    Nothing seems to work, please help! We really want to save the images, on the D: disk partition.

    Hi
    Try to set the BIOS to default settings.
    You have to access the BIOS and there you could set it to default.
    Please check if you can install the OS using the SATA mode -> AHCI and compatible.
    If you use AHCI then you have to include the SATA drivers. If you use the compatible mode, then SATA drivers are not needed.
    If you want to get access to the HDD before installing the OS in the C partition, then I would recommend booting the notebook using a Windows Live CD like WinPE or BartPe.
    Both are live cds which dont need a installation you have to boot from such disk only to get access to the content on the HDD.

  • P67 GD80 B3 board not booting after bios flash error 98

    98 error and black screen.
    I know that this board has dual bios and it can swith between the two if one of them goes wrong. It have done that before then i was benching but now i can't get it to work...
    Is my board just a paper weight now or is there something i can try to get it to switch to number 2 bios?

    Is the BIOS blue LED blinking or solid? If no BIOS LED at all, then there is hope. Try & force to POST from the secondary by removing all the RAM except for a stick in the primary blue dimm slot. With power cord removed from the PSU, remove the battery for ahwile, clear CMOS, & test. If you had the Auto BIOS Update enabled before the failure, it should flash the primary. If not enabled, first thing if you can get in to BIOS is to enable Auto Update, shut down & restart & hope for the best.

  • Edge 15 won't boot after BIOS upgrade

    Hi everyone. 
    I have a Lenovo Edge 15 and I recently (as in, this morning) tried to upgrade the Bios from the support site for the Haswell i5. 
    I downloaded the exe, let it run and received the notification that my computer would restart. I just it do it's thing, it goes into the BIOS and appears to be install the bios fine, and then I receive a notice my laptop would restart. 
    But, once it restarted, it set went into a boot menu. I select the HDD where my OS is installed but the screen goes blank and then (appearantly after restarting) goes back to the boot screen. 
    I can get into the BIOS fine but I cannot get past the boot menu. 
    I tried opening my laptop, disconnecting the battery and the CMOS battery (I think it's a CMOS battery), plugged/put them back in and I still have the same issue. 
    Any ideas as to what the issues is? 

    Blink code indicated BIOS corruption. Try Roll back of BIOS:
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=uk&lc=en&docname=c02693833
    You have to try this many times, the timing of holding the keys together is very important 1-3 seconds.
    If that doesn't work I'd probably affected your hardware, you may have to contact HP.

  • Mac mini won't boot after RAM upgrade.

    Tried installing new RAM in my Mac Mini, 512MB stock to 2GB of Crucial. Followed the directions to a T, grounded myself the whole time.
    Things I've tried so far:
    1. Resetting the PRAM, no luck.
    2. Holding option at start-up, shows no icon.
    3. Holding shift, no luck.
    4. Holding X, nothing.
    How do I get it to accept a CD if it won't boot?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    You clearly have a problem, but you don't describe exactly what that is other than that your mini won't boot after the upgrade. What happens when it starts up? Does it attempt to start and hang up on the grey or blue screens, or does it start beeping at you almost immediately after you try and start it up, and also flash the power light?
    If the former, then you may have dislodged a connector while working inside the system, in which case opening it up and checking that everything is firmly connected would be the first thing to do. If the latter, then the beeping/light flashing is the system telling you it has failed the power-on self test and the pattern of beeps/lights indicates why. In your case likely the system can't find workable memory. In that instance, opening the system and ensuring that the RAM is firmly and fully seated would be a good step, and if the mini continues to fail, then replacing the new RAM with the original to test that the system will then start.
    It is not likely that anything had damaged your MacOS install in the process of upgrading, thus normally no reason to need to boot to CD as a result of a RAM issue.

  • MacBook not booting after RAM upgrade

    I'm sorry if the case has been already posted.
    Yesterday I took my MacBook Alu unibody late 2008 to a RAM upgrade (from 2 to 4gigs) to an offical Mac Reseller. They installed it and showed me that the system loads properly and recognized the new RAM.
    I took it home, started working on After Effects and Photoshop and when i wanted to check a video on Quicktime, this program refused to boot.
    Then photoshop freeze and after effects did so. I quited all aplications and restarted. On restart after the 'bong' i've got the grey screen white an apple logo and a loading bar underneath, that was it, it never finished loading but shutting down.
    After the 2nd try the computer gave me the BAD RAM alarm signal right before the start button was pressed and nothing more. I just managed to start it ONCE on safe mode, but this one also freezed and colapsed.
    Today i didn't get the BAD ram alarm but the grey screen and loading bar after shutting down.
    I took it back to the reseler, the shop boss who did the upgrade wasn't there , the guys on the morning shift placed the old RAM back resulting the same. So they told me it's a software problem, not hardware and might be caused by a failed firmware update or something i did wrong and since i was showed that the system booted after the upgrade i can't complain or argue that they did somethiing wrong.
    So basically the want 80euros to check what's wrong with my computer plus the 120 i already payed them for a RAM that doesn't work and of course the repair cost of the computer.
    On monday i'll go to talk to the boss, what do you guys recomend me to tell him? i'm frustrated that the guys there treat me like if i broke my computer for beeing stupid and wanted to get it fixed for free, when it clearly broke after they did something wrong on it!
    please advice me!
    thanks!

    What brand is the RAM? From what you said, it is obvious that the RAM is at fault. I would simply tell them that it is not compatible and return the RAM.
    Check the System Profiler to see what it says about the RAM (Apple Logo - About this Mac - More Info) and run this application to test the RAM:

    If either shows any errors, print out the results and take them with you to the store.

  • P67A-GD65 new system bios setting recommendations and sata connections

    Hey all,
    My old dual core HTPC (after many hours of use) finally gave up the ghost and moved on to the great PC grave yard . I have ordered all the new upgrade parts from Newegg and am looking for recommendations on what bios settings and setup procedures I should use on the initial bootup and Windows load. I'm not looking to overclock I just want a fast stable system for video decoding and playback. It's my understanding from the manual that SATA 1-2 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and 7-8 are controlled by the Marvell chip but I am unsure of SATA 3-6. Can SATA 3-6 do raid 0? I want to use the Crucial SSD as my primary boot drive and the 2 WD drives on raid 0 as my secondary drive. SATA connection advice (which SATA ports) and Raid Bios setting would be helpful. Should I install the raid 0 drives after I have Windows 7 loaded on the SSD? Any other setup advice is appreciated.
    Here is my setup.
    Windows 7 64bit
    Bach HTPC case
    Ultra LSP 750Pro PSU
    Intel i5-2500 3.3G CPU
    MSI P67A-GD65 Motherboard
    Sapphire HD5570 1G RT Video Card
    Crucial CTFDDAC128MAG-1G1 SSD 6.0Gb/s SATAIII (Primary boot drive)
    2 WD3200KS Hard Drives SATA 3.0Gb/s (Raid 0)
    Lite-on 12X Blu-Ray Burner SATA
    G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600

    Two questions answered. SATA 3-6 are controlled by the Intel P67 chip and do support Raid 0 but I still wonder if I should wait to install the drives until Windows has finished it's install.
    SATAIII controller integrated in Intel® P67 & Marvell SE9128 chipsets
    - Up to 6Gb/s transfer speed.
    - Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA1~2) by P67 PCH
    - Supports two SATAIII ports (SATA7~8) by Marvell SE9128
    - SATA1~6 ports support RAID 0/1/5/10 mode by Intel P67 PCH
    - SATA7~8 ports support RAID 0/1 mode by Marvell SE9128

Maybe you are looking for
