P6N Diamond will not post

I noticed that my PSU was going bad about 2 weeks ago. I had a 680w installed and I replaced it with a 750w. The PC booted into windows on the first power up. Then after about 2mins it rebooted on it's own and now it won't post. Everything seems to be working. I'm leaning towards a bad mobo but I don't want to give up on maybe something being knocked loose. Do you guys have any idea as to what could possibly be disconnected and cause these issues.
- Will not post
- No video
- Keyboard won't power up

OK, upon further inspection, it looks like the system is booting the HD, Optical Drives, and Video Card. I'm not getting any system beeps. There is no video being displayed and my keyboard is not booting (logitech G5, old style with flip up LCD display). My on-board sound seems to be booting as well (I can here a boom from the Sub, that is normal operation). Things I've tried
- Clear CMOS
- Mobo has a quick reset button for it and I removed the battery
- Moved the Video Card to all 4 PCI-E slots
- The fan spins up in every slot
- The video card is also knew, about 4 months old
- Triple checked that all the SW were wired up correctly
- Triple checked that the PSU is all plugged in to everything correctly
- Decreased the load on the PSU by disconnecting the fans, 1 of the 2 optical drives, and all of the case lighting

P7N Diamond will not POST

Hi everyone.
This is my first build. The board powered up just fine, but would not POST. No beeps, nothing. I tried stripping down the system, part by part, until I was down to just one stick of RAM & the CPU - no luck. I've been doing some extensive researching, and I've tried everything I can think of.
Here's the build:
OCZ PSU - Game Xtreme series 700 W
P7N Diamond
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz (retail box)
Corsair DOMINATOR (2 X 2GB) DDR2 1066
MSI NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT, 256 DDR3
Seagate Barracuda SATA drive, 250 GB
Sony IDE combo optical drive
I RMAed the board & processor (replacement)
I'm quite frustrated and disappointed at this point. Any tips/tricks or advice would be welcome!

Did you try a clear CMOS? Different memory? My Dominators wouldn't boot without 2.00v VDIMM.
Yes, I tried clearing CMOS. I WOULD'VE tried different memory, but I don't have any compatible sticks around. But, I tried removing all the ram, thinking that if that Dominators were causing the problem, the board would start to post, and then beep at me when it couldn't find any RAM - no results. :-(

3 ea MSI K8N Diamond Plus will not POST

I have 3 K8N Diamond Plus motherboards that recently started having intermittent problems POSTing to BIOS. I initially found it possible to boot by clearing CMOS and reentering my settings; however, over time these boards have gotten to where they will not POST at all. Power comes up, but the four-LED diagnostic display stays continuously red, indicating no BIOS activity. Ideally, I'd like to get my hands on a service manual for this board, but if anyone can throw out common issues with this board as a starting point, that would be great. All of these boards have been in service for more than 3 years in 3 different machines. The failure appears to have identical symptoms. I would bet the component that has failed is common to all 3 boards. It seems other people are having the very same problem with these boards over several years of service. I have tried all of the usual troubleshooting tactics with no success. Thanks!

Check for bulging, leaking, ruptured capacitors near CPU socket.

P6N Diamond won't post (RGRR)

Can anyone please link me to the MSI approved memory module vendor list (MSI AVL) - I've searched high and wide for this official list of compatible modules with no luck whatsoever. It's referenced everywhere but not linked!
I'm pretty sure that my memory choice is causing the following issue:
System Specs:
MSI P6N Diamond
2 x Nanya PC2-6400U-555-12-E1.1GB.2Rx8 800 Memory Modules
Intel E6700 Core2Duo (2.66ghz)
Seasonic S12 600W PSU (using the 8-pin JPW1 power connection)
ZALMAN CNPS9500 Heatsink
ATI X1300 Pro PCI-E Video
System Problems:
The system will not post correctly.
Power Button Press
Fans Spin for 3 seconds, LEDS stay blank
RRRR
RGRR
Powers Down
When I reboot directly afterwards:
System starts with LED showing RGRR for 3 seconds
RRRR
RGRR
Powers Down
I presume this must be a memory compatibility option, so I'd like to know what modules are best recommended for this board.
I couldn't even really find a confirmed approved voltage rating. Does this board prefer 1.8V, 1.9V?
I just pulled these sticks from a Dell GX745, hoping that they would work. I also attempted Hyjinx branded sticks of the same spec and with the same result.The main board is being used in a file server, so price takes precedence over speed.
Thanks for your time!

TODAYS RESULTS
Before anything, I tried booting it again using the Seasonic PSU 600W. It did something NEW!!
Power Button Press
Fans Spin for 3 seconds, LEDS stay blank
RRRR(System Power On)
RGRR(Memory Detection Test)
GGRR (Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting)
Powers Down
When I reboot directly afterwards:
System starts with LED showing RGRR for 3 seconds
RRRR(System Power On)
RGRR (Memory Detection Test)
GGRR (Decompressing BIOS image to RAM for fast booting)
Powers Down
So this was something unexpected!
============================================================
Next, I hooked up my PC Power&Cooling 750W Silencer
(Full Specs)
SAME results as above!!! The system shuts itself off after GGRR.
============================================================
I took the motherboard out of the case.
Try #1: Seasonic PSU, Same result as original problem (RGRR)
Try #2: Seasonic PSU, Same again
Try #3: PC Power&Cool, Same Again
Just for arguments sake, i switch the power switch i'm using.
Try #4: POSTS!!?! Asks for boot device.
Try #5: RGRR
Try #6: RGRR
Try #7: POSTS! "Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed and the system is restored to default setting."
hmm... considering I've never had this system even post, not sure why it thinks I overclocked it!
I THINK i've figured it out. I don't understand it but it appears that when i was using the rear power switch (wired green&white) included with the Cooler Master CMStacker - it has this RGRR boot problem. When i use the front switch (wired black&white) - it correctly boots. Anyone understand this?! The switch is labeled "INT SW".
This inconsistency has me a tad worried. In the meantime, i am going to put the mobo back into the case and test it various times using the other switch. It will blow my mind if all of this time, it ends up being the switch!

K7n2 Delta-6570 Will Not Post

I have k7n2 delta L --6570--amdxp-2500-512 mb pc3200 ram. powmax 400w power .ati 9600 all in wonder. I swapped all parts to a better case to fit a certain location and the system will not post at all. the diagnostic d-bracket has number 1 and 4 in red while 2 and 3 are green. the book only tells me that the processor is initializing with a note saying this will show information regarding the processor (like brand name, system bus. etc. but nothing will show on the monitor. everything was working fine before the swap. i have checked everything i can think of. i would appreciate some advise. sorry if i haven't posted all the proper requrements and spec's. thanks. paul k.

i reset the memory and cpu and video card. i think i disconnected everything in the case a couple of times to make sure it wasn't a simple blunder. nothing! i have a friend that wants to try look at it i may do that. also tomorrow i will try to post all my info like the rest of you guys have done. i'll give it a try anyway. also i done the other things you mentioned, i forgot what the questions were. you can't see the post info that i am replying to keep checking so i can answer properly and i forget things.
thanks

K8T Master2-Far Will not POST unless CMOS is freshly cleared!

Hey all, thanks for helping out.
I came back to my computer one day to find it in a coma. The system was on, but the screen was getting no signal and would not come on by moving the mouse/keyboard like usual. I thought that maybe it had turned off the monitor for power save and then frooze some how. After restarting the computer I found that it was still doing the same thing. I shut down the system and unpluged. After waiting about 5 min i plugged back in and flipped the switch on the powersupply. This started the computer right up (even though i had not pushed th power button) and left it in the same condition as before. It simply would not post. After closer inspection I found that it was not posting because it wasn't getting far enough in the process before it was being restarted. I checked the restart button and even went as far as removing it from the motherboard. This did not help. I knew it was restarting because i could see it checking the optical drives then waiting for about 4 seconds, then a weird noise from the speakers (like a soft cruching so to speak) would happen, then it would do this all over again, non stop. That noise was familliar though, it was the normal noise that I hear when I push the restart button (I'm guessing a release of electricity etc..) so I knew what was going on.
After switching the memory out and in all orders, I stripped the system down to the bare min. This however did not change anything. I put the system back together and flashed the cmos. This made the system restart once, then "BEEP" it posted. It said CMOS Checksome Error - Defaults Loaded. I first pushed DEL to get into the bios. I changed everything back to how its suppost to be (time, apature, etc...) then saved and exited. This made the system go back into its restarting state. I then flashed the cmos again and pushed F1 to continue. The system booted up just fine. In safemode of course. Then i restarted. It then went back into its restarting state. I flashed the bios again. And after pushing F1 to continue selected it to go into windows normally. Everytime it does this it gets different results. One time it got past the windows xp loading screen and sat at the black screen before you get your curser and welcome screen (sigh... restart... flash..). It also once got in just fine, and after about 5 min got a blue screen about "bad pool caller". It most the time however gets a random blue screen right after you see the welcome screen. These blue screens consist of "bad pool caller", "IRQ Equal or Lesser Value", or No notes, just generic blue screen.
If i change anything in my bios it will not post. If i dont flash the cmos, it will not post. If i dont change anything in bios and continue, then restart, it will not post. The only way for it to post and for me to see anything on the screen is to flash the cmos. I thought it might be the power supply, but the only extra i have does not have the extra plug to power the 2nd cpu. After thinking about it though. I dont know if it could be a power supply issue, if it was then would it even load up into safe mode? Or why would it not load up into safe mode again after restarting. I have tried an extra stick of memory that i know works in a separate computer, but nothing changed. I have tried a different videocard... nothing changed. I have removed everthing accept the basics (motherboard, cpu's,videocard,memory,psu) and nothing changed.
I have worked on this for about 1 week now and can not figure it out. I have my useless MCSE/CSE/A+ certifications (I say useless because I dont have a job that uses them) but this one is beyond me. If anyone could help I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Brandon
P.S. I dont know if this is related, but I did have to change from useing the DVI connection to RGB plug to even see anything once I heard it post. I was useing DVI before, and once i figured out that it would post after flashing cmos, I had to change to RGB to get any visual. The DVI will not work now at all. I have even tried changing cords. The DVI wont work in safemode either. Thanks

I reckon these mobos have a fault that really needs to be sorted. You say that your PC was working fine using PC 3200 memory with 240's. I have a similliar problem, I am using 246's with Kingston' PC3200 KVR333X72RC25/512D 2.5 ECC REG. The PC worked fine for about two weeks and then one day went on a blink, every time I power it up all I get is beeps. I was forced to order new BIOS, which didn't work everything else has been tested and works fine.
So I ordered micron memory 2X512 PC 2100 266 ECC REG which I was told by the supplier that it was compartible, that didn't work either. I then went on to check the battery, to my surprise the battery was low so I thought I had nailed it, went out bought a new battery but the problem still exits. I must say though after installing the micron memory it did boot up but when I went into BIOS to change settings to boot fro CDROM the damn thing would not restart I had to switch it off using the power button to restart it and when it restarted all i got was beeps. After that to get it to bootup I have to reset CMOS using the jumper and when it boots up it gives a checksum error message. I have a choice of two at this stage
(1) To Press F1
(2) To Press delete o go into BIOS setup
The F1 option takes me as far as the windows log on screen and that's it cuts off as if it is gonna boot itself backup but just hangs there.
The Delete option takes into BIOS which when exited the PC does nothing until powered down and powered up again, from here I have to reset CMOS to get it to bootup.
I have been told that the kingston memory is not compatible but my question is how did it work the first two weeks?
Good ol' Bas have helped out on this one quite often but here I am three months on still in a struggle. I thought of RMAing the board but it would cost me about 160 pounds and with that kind of money I could pick up another boad from kompllete.com and remain with some change for a couple of buds.
"To bass You said in the last post that the poblem could be the power supply changed it but that has not solved my problem"

In need of some help :( p55 big bang fuzion will not post

For some reason my system will not post. i switch my system on and everything on the board lights up all the drives spin up, gpu spins up, but it will still not post iv checked the gpu and it dose work fine, iv checked the ram to find out that one of my ram sticks has gone. iv tired booting with the stick that works with no luck neither.
would really like some advice please
My Current System is : i7 875k [email protected] GHz,on OC Genie- - P55 Big Bang-Fuzion (MS-7582)- -BIOS v1.5 --CORSAIR CMT4GX3M2A2133C9 4GB 2133MHz, 9-10-9-27, 1.65V, with Intel XMP -- NSI R5850 Twin Frozr II-- Real Power M520, with two WD Caviar Black 500 GB SATA Hard Drives ( WD5001AALS) in Raid 0

like Xmad said get a good 600W PSU from a trusted manufacturer of a single +12V kind. split rails are only good when there very high ampage ones (over 30A per rail) and the single rail ones are a better pick all-round!
and like Xmad also pointed out id also recomend a Corsair or seatronic unit of 600W or more!
it doesn't matter how the power went out as any thing that pulls over the load a PSU can supply will fead back and cause damage to the PSU itself!
alot of PSU makers cannot be trusted much as they put lables on the psu that are no where neer the real units performance level as they use a bench version that have uprated VRM's and bigger heatsinks and high end refrigerated coolers to stop them overloading thats totally un-realistic!

HP Pavilion dv7 1070us will not POST

Model: HP Pavilion dv7 1070us
System will not POST after replacing FAN.
I first replaced the FAN, then after re-assembling the unit resulting in:
Black screen,
CAPS-LOCK white LED continuous 1 second blink,
F12-WIFI amber LED solid ON,
The FAN comes on, then stops for a few seconds then restarts and stays on;
I thought this indicated that the CPU was running.
I did all the normal tricks:
RAM in-out various combinations,
CMOS battery removal.
Power adapter and Battery removal combinations.
Hard Reset by holding power button for 15-30 seconds w/o battery or PS attached.
remove un-necessary devices: HD, wi-fi, DVD, etc
Still does not work.
So I figured the Video portion of the CPU was bad.
I then ordered and replaced the AMD A10 4600m CPU.
Re-assembled the machine and still the same symptoms.
I guess the CPU was not bad.
I give up.
How could HP release a machine that does not POST when the main pieces are good:
Motherboard,
CPU,
RAM
Power.
I did not buy a new CMOS battery. Can't imagine that would keep it from POST'ing.
Any help ???? Otherwise went from working to JUNK.
A thought: Laptops are not worth the money you pay if they only last a few years.

So i did a lot on firefox, remove flashplayer (or shockplayer) and vlc then reinstall them ---- download lots of things and etc. - now i'm able to record my video!!!!! But then i hit a "publish" button it's gone - didn't post at all (for replying or add video comment). :(
However, youtube works fine: i film myself and upload it on youtube then post it on www.slvlogs.com -just fine for new posts only. Sad part is that i can't reply or leave (add) a video comment.
Please help?

i am building my first computer and am having a few problems.I have installed the following components which were all purchased new
motherboard 845pemax
celeron D processor 320
300 watt power supply
256mb kingston ram
Nvidia Rivia TNT2 m64 agp 16mb video card
my problem is that my computer will not post
the monitor light goes green but says that it is in power saving mode
What should I do
It appears that keyboard does not work either.
Any help is appreciated

Intel Core2 Quad
2X1Gb Geil RAM
1X HDD
1X DVD R/W
400w PSU
MS Windows XP Pro
The PC has been gradually getting harder to start. Some times it takes up to fifteen attempts before anything appears on screen. Now the machine will not POST, the CPU fan spins but their is no display, and no beeps. Also the power and hard drive LED's are not illuminated.
Testing so far:
Swapped the PSU for a known working model - no change
Swapped RAM - no change
Disconnect HDD, DVD drive, external USB and audio connectors - no change
Removed the BIOS battery and re-set the CMOS - no change
I have also removed the motherboard from the case and placed it on an anti static mat with just the PSU, RAM & monitor attached - no change.
NO capacitors appear to be 'bulging'
Is the fact that the machine will not POST or show any display or show anything on the power and HDD LED's symptomatic of an on-board power distribution (blown voltage regulator) problem? the only thing that I have not been able to replace in the CPU, could this (if faulty) cause the kind of problems described?
I think the board is toast opinions please.

P67A-GD55 will not post

I am absolutely stuck and about ready to RMA this board as I believe the one I got is DOA, though I'm not 100% so I'm posting here to make sure that it is in fact the motherboard that is faulty and not some other piece. My computer will not post, no beeps, no video; it simply powers on, sort of.
Allow me to describe the problem. When I push the power button, there is a delay of about 5-10 seconds before the computer finally powers on. Once it does power on, it spins up, for maybe 3 seconds, then shuts off, then about a second later, it powers back on again. It will reset itself 5-6 times before finally staying on, then it sits there. No beeps, no post, no video.
Here's what I've done to troubleshoot the issue.
I have removed any attached hardware (video cards, hdds, etc) one at a time to see if one of them was causing the problem, but to no avail. I removed one of the sticks of RAM, that didn't work, then switched the two, also didn't work. I thought it was perhaps the power switch, so I swapped that out, that also didn't work. I tried a different PSU, also a failure. I got down to just the cpu, the motherboard, the psu, and a power switch, and it did the same thing. I double checked the CPU to make sure it was in properly (just in case), and it was in correctly. I'm not sure what else I can do to trouble shoot this board. I cleared the CMOS every time I changed/removed a piece of hardware and even bought a new battery.
Here are my specs:
MSI P67A-GD55
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz - Model BX80623I72600K
Thermaltake Frio Heatsink - Model CLP0564

If there are bent pins, what is the best approach to straightening them?
A strong light, a good magnifier, a pair of tweezers, & a steady hand.
It is also recommended for initial startup, that only one RAM stick is used. Placed in the primary dimm slot (blue closest to the CPU). Then load OS, drivers, etc., then add the other stick(s) later.

Pavillion dv6000 will not POST

Forgive me as I know this has been asked repeatedly. I have searched the forums and tried quite a few suggestions, but I'm getting nowhere fast.
This laptop will not POST, and always gives a black screen. No beeps. When powered on, I get no CAPS lock/NUM lock lights. I do get a light from the power button and across the DVD strip. The hard drive led will flash once when powered on. The fan comes on briefly and then the computer shuts down.
I have removed the main battery and used the AC charger with the same results, which should rule out the charger as the culprit. I have reseated the memory chips. I have disconnected the CMOS battery and let it sit for a while, but no start-up. I also connected an external monitor, but got nothing.
Do I need to open this thing up and poke around or should consider a mobo replacement?

I agree, but perhaps we - not Rogue_Wulff - failed to demand info?
If you had the NIC in a slot very close to the graphics card, drivers might have been in conflict with eachother. But there are as stated other reasons.
Nice you got it going!
