P7n platinum no post after cpu change

Just built a new rig, got it up to post screen and freezes.bios is version 1.1. I have read all other posts about this particular problem for p7n platinum and tried all the recommended solutions, none avail.
Tried to flash to bios 1.2 with floppy but floppy didn't boot.
Changed to e2140 cpu, even worse, no screen whatsoever. fans, lights, etc. are running.
Reverted back to the e8400. no screen as well. Checked for bent pins and power connections, all seems fine. Before changing cpu's, it will show the post screen but freezes there.
Time to send back to the reseller?

If your system will boot up with another PSU, what would that tell you about your current one? It is either defective or incompatible. In the first case the problem can be fixed by replacing it and in the second case you'll need a better PSU. One that does not have known grounding/compatibility issues.
ok. But correct me if i am wrong, the first few times booting with the e8400, it will show the screen, doesn't that tell that the PSU is ok with the MOBO?

P6N SLI Platinum not booting after CPU change

I just upgraded the CPU in my machine with a P6N SLI Platinum motherboard from a E6700 to an E8500. I first upgraded the BIOS to 1.7 as the MSI page seemed to indicate that was a pre-req for this CPU. The machine was working fine for a day with the new CPU.
I changed the CPU in the machine and when I tried to boot, the lights on the motherboard came on as well as the fan, but no video or sound. In addition none of the diagnostic LEDs on the D Bracket light up. They had been previously working. Neither do the lights on my memory sticks light up.
I tried clearing the CMOS by hitting the switch but nothing. I am now going to try switching back CPUs but I don't have much hope that that is the problem given the diagnostic LEDs don't light. Does anyone have any suggestions as to a fix or is this motherboard fried?
P.S. Do you hit hte CMOS clear switch when the computer is off but the motherboard is charged? Or do you unplug the computer and wait for the internal orange light to go out as well too?

What is the QC number (by the cpu socket) is 01, 02, or 03?
See this thread for more:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php/topic,123486.msg932471.html#msg932471
Ah. Given I bought my P6N SLI Platinum 3.5 years ago when they first came out I imagine mine is one of the older versions that doesn't support 45nm CPUs by default. Is there a photo somewhere showing where the QC number is located exactly on this MB? It's probably located under my huge CPU heatsink and I'm not going to remove that for a third time just to check.
I really wish the MSI CPU compatibility page mentioned that. It would save me a lot of time. It's not worth my time and effort to dismantle my PC, send them the MB and wait for them to send me back a compatible one.
I verified the BIOS upgrade by looking at the version number at startup and using CPUZ.

P7N Platinum no POST

When I set FSB to 1200 for Q6600, no POST on my mobo P7N Platinum Sli. No joy at FSB1333 too. It POST successfully with E6600, both at FSB1200 and FSB1333.
Another strange thing is no POST when RAM timing set to 1067 2.1V or 2.2V (using Team Dark-1066 3GB module x 4) even at default FSB1067. It was ok when using 1GB module. However, if I volt to 1.95V, it boots but unstable (probably due to insufficient voltage). Changing to 2V or more results in no POST.
How went wrong?

Reset everything to stock speed without any OC and see if there is any problem. If there is no problem when in stock speed, you should post your query in our Overclocker's section.

Posting to Accounting: Retroactive Posting after a change in the GL account

Hello all,
i would like to ask you about a problem that we face in a live system throught the integration HR-FI. We have already run live posting to accounting until the end of November. But, the client wants us to change the account of a wage type. We have created a new symbolic account because the new account is an expense account whereas the previous account was a balance sheet account. We have used also the user exit in RPCIPE00 as we have different employee groupings in our system. The problem is that when we run posting to accounting for December and there is retroactive calculation the system debit/credit again the old wage type again without having results in December for this wage type.
Customizing :
01.2010-11.2010 DEBIT : X1(BALANCE SHEET)
                            CREDIT: Z1
122010-12.9999 DEBIT : X2(EXPENSE ACCOUNT)
                            CREDIT: Z1
Example:
11.2010 -> Payroll calculation for WT01:100 EUROS. Posting of this WT01: Debit : X1 (100EUROS) Account ,Credit : Z1 Account ((100EUROS)
12.2010 -> Retroactive calculation for november for other wage types. Not WT01. But in the posting to accounting for WT01 there is debit/credit. Note: After 01.12 we have the change in the posting customizing of this WT01.
              DEBIT                CREDIT
X1                                  (100EUROS)
Z1      (100EUROS)       (100EUROS)
X2      (100EUROS)
How can i stop the retroactive posting that takes place after the change? This wage type WT01 SHOULD NOT be posted in December.
I am looking forward to your feedback.
Thank you in advance.
Sissi

Thank you for your quick response.
I have already delimited Wage Type WT01 and used the new symbolic account:
Customizing :
01.2010-11.2010       DEBIT : X100 Symbolic (BALANCE SHEET)
                                  CREDIT: Z100 Symbolic
12.2010-12.9999        DEBIT : X200 Symbolic(EXPENSE ACCOUNT)
                                  CREDIT: Z100 Symbolic
FI: X100 symbolic Linked to X1 ACCOUNT
     X200 symbolic Linked to X2 ACCOUNT(NEW ONE)
     Z100 symbolic Linked to Z1 Account
The problem is that after posting for December i have 100 euros as debit in Account X2 (the new account) and 100 euros in the old account X1 as credit. IN Z1 account i have no problem as the result is zeroed. According to the customer, they should not have these amounts in X1,X2 accounts as there is no retro-calculation for this specific WType.
Accounts                  DEBIT                     CREDIT
X1   :                                <->                   (100EUROS as CREDIT)
Z1   :                    (100EUROS as DEBIT)               (100EUROS as CREDIT)
X2   :                   (100EUROS as DEBIT)                         <->
I hope the schema above will depict how the posting is performed after the change in account of the wage type.
So, you suggest that this cannot be ceased as the system works in this way?
Thank you a lot.
Sissy.

Neo Platinum won't post after BIOS change...

I changed a few BIOS settings in my machine. Everything was working fine before; all I switched (to my recollection) was changing the boot order and also switching from Manual to Automatic for High Performance Timings (named something like that).
After doing this, the machine won't even POST; I get a ~2 second long beep shortly after turning the machine on, and this beep repeats with a ~2 second pause between each beep.
I have tried:
- taking out the memory in bank 2
- taking out both DIMMs
- doing the JBAT1 CMOS reset (pins 1-2 going to 2-3)
- doing the 'remove the battery' CMOS reset
- doing both the JBAT1 and battery reset approaches, leaving it in 2-3 and battery out all last night
After all of these, there was no change -- I still get the beeps.
D-Bracket seems to have the bottom left light red, and the rest green, if I recall.
Any guesses? Thanks.

Ah, to clarify -- I looked at the Basic Troubleshooting Guide for the exact description of what the D-Bracket is showing. It looks to be "Initializing Keyboard Controller".
Maybe someone else knows -- in the list of all of the D-Bracket codes -- which are meant to be green and which are meant to be red? (As the page has white and black..so I'm trying to confirm that I'm right in mapping correctly between white/black and red/green; if my mapping is backwards, then it really means "Assign Resources to all ISA").
As for possible memory issues -- if I hadn't changed anything in the BIOS other than memory timings -- wouldn't resetting the CMOS have gone back to default timings (which were working a-ok until I made that BIOS change). (Plus, I don't have any other RAM, so I'm looking for other things to also try

Z77A-GD55, no POST after BIOS change

Hello all -- a few days ago I put together my new build using the Z77A-GD55 (I can give full specs if desired, but it's not like it doesn't work) and everything worked great. I installed Windows 8, configured stuff, played games, etc. No performance problems at all. Last night I went into the BIOS to make a minor change to let the network adapter wake the PC from standby. I enabled a power setting I found and when I saved the settings and rebooted the BIOS, the PC wouldn't boot. No BIOS, no POST, no nothing. The fans were whirring and the LEDs were on (and everything stayed in this state until I cut power), but nothing happened on the monitor (the monitor works fine on another PC, by the way). I tried removing my PCI devices (wifi adapter and graphics card) and the hard drives, but nothing different happened. I removed all the RAM and then tried it with just one in, but both of those put it on a loop where everything would lose power within a few seconds and then try again. I cleared CMOS from the button on the input panel to no avail. I've since put the RAM and the hard drives back in (PCI devices still out) and I'm back to my initial no POST situation. I also tried putting a bootable flash drive in, just in case, but got nowhere.
The only thing I haven't removed is the processor, but because it only failed after I made a BIOS change, I'm still inclined to believe that that's not the problem (though I will do it when I have time tonight). Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? If at all possible I'd like to get this fixed without replacing the motherboard because I won't be able to get a refund (I regrettably submitted the rebate when everything was working, so no returns), but I understand that that may not be possible.
Thanks!

Remove the battery and short the JBAT1 pins for about 10 seconds with the power cord removed then retest.
If no help, please provide a full list of components.
Shorted the JBAT1 to no avail. Restarted after a few seconds the first time (I assume this is a result of the CMOS having being cleared), but after that it was the same. Still nothing on the screen. My components are as follows:

hi i got a G700 model no 20251 mobo no 31900003win8.std.mlt, bios version 7acn21ww(insyde h20 rev,3.7 it has a 2020m 2.4 ghz cpu i have changed to a i5 3230m which is on its list of compatable ones it runs fine very quick runs a lot cooler than original cpu problem is laptop now turns of after 25 mins it will restart straight away nothing from windows to say it has shut down incorrectly or anything else i have updated all intel drivers ran a strees test recomended on this site and ran intels own tester prog any one any ideas i am on latest bios

Thank You, i just looked the HM76 boards-(FRU: 90003042 ) on ebay and for 150$ its not worth it to me to replace the board. The whole thing was only 230ish new(refurbished) from the outlet. So my resolution was to replace the entire computer as this is not mine. We just bought another refurbed model for 350$ ish, this one has the i5/HM76 already. If this was mine i would have replaced it with the 710, right now they are 3 on the outlet and dont have this disaster of mistake chipset. This chipset should of been recalled, its only 10$ cheaper to mfg than its bigger brother th HM75-76
So next week when the new one gets here i will have a spare to play with and see if there is a BIOs modification solution to this issue although it does seem hardware based to me

Neo Platinum, No POST after Bios flash to v1.9

Ive got a K8n neo platinum board, and my system has been runnin fine for months now, but today after i updated my Bios to 1.9 using the msi updater tool my system wont post. The D-bracket2 has the following pattern
RED OFF
Green OFF
2 of the lights are off? and there isnt a code for this in the manual. Also, just as the bracket light sequence haults, there is a flash from the light near the ethernet port on the mobo? If the Bios is wrecked what are the steps that need to be taken? is there any way to fix at home or does it need to be sent to a factory?
Many thanks.

I'd say it's time to flash it using the bootdisk method

No post after CPU upgrade?

Hi
I upgraded my processor to a XP1700+ In an Msi K7T266 Pro2 Mb It had the older Athlon 1 Gig CPU. After I installed it all I would get is 3 lights on the D bracket and no monitor or post. I have already updated the BIOS before the CPU upgrade. I have an Antec 430 true power PSU, cleared CMOS, doublechecked Heatsink and all connections still wont post (not even a beep code) Installed old CPU and Viola it booted fine has anybody ran into this? Another post said something about a modification needed on this board to support the newer 0.13 micron CPU,s but the post never reached a conclusion if so is there a way around this?
Thank you in advance for your help.............

Go bare bones.
1) Disconnect everything. IDE cables, FDD cable, take out all PCI cards, only leave videcard :P .
2) Clear CMOS (you may have to remove battery or switch PC on/off without plugged in to discharge capacitors).
PC should post now. If it doesn't post I wonder if CMOS is really cleared. Assuming CPU XP 1600 is okay (have you checked?) it means that BIOS doesn't recognise CPU. Did you flash with correct version?

P965 Platinium won't start up after CPU change and swap back - HELP Please

Hi all,
I have a P965 Platinium which has been working perfectly. I decided to try upgrading the CPU and put in an E5700 (socket 775 CPU) which I now realize is not supported. So I removed it again and re-installed the original CPU but now it won't boot - fans come on, HDD and DVD power up, but the Video goes into sleep mode.
Any thoughts ? This mobo doesn't appear to have any sound / beeper or at least, there's no beeps coming from anywhere.
Do I maybe need to clear some condition which was generated after the invalid CPU was tried ?

No joy :(
There is a beeper connected to the mobo and there isn't a sound out of it at all so I'm completely confused right now.
The CPU and Graphics Card fans are all firing up OK and the CPU gets hot confirming too that it's also getting power. I tried the modo with the CPU and no heatsink and the system shut itself down which was obviously to protect itself so again it seems to me that the syste is still alive. I also tried another graphics card but also no joy.

No Bios Screen After Cpu Change

Hi guys im new here and couldn't find a way to post in the assistance forum.
My issue is that i just upgraded my bios on the 945GCM5-FV2 oard using the usb utility and the flash went fine but when i put in my new E7400 the monitor just blinks and shows no display save a black screen. But if i reswap my old P4 3.0Ghz it works but for a slight bit i got the E7400 to work when i took one stick of ram out but when i restarted same issue ram in or out.
What gives?
Thanks

I don't know why you say there's no clear CMOS jumper, it's the 3 pin JBAT1 near the lower left corner of the lower left SATA port. Just below the battery.
Yup, it's supported on the MB that uses the 17.x BIOS but not the one that uses the 15.x BIOS.

4. XFX NVIDIA 9500 GT 1GB
5. GIGABYTE PSU 550W
CAN YOU PLEASE PROVIDE ME WITH THE SOLUTION,ITS A BRAND NEW PC
THANK YOU ALL FOR THIS GREAT FORUM.....

Remove mainboard from case and try running with just absolutely necessary components. Try reseating cpu and check if heatsink has proper contact to cpu's heatspreader. Try running setup with just one mem stick.
Also provide full specs of psu as you can see in my signature.
From the writing you reported (A7380NMS V1.0) it seems your board has bios V1.0 installed while your cpu would at least require V1.2 or higher (http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1373&maincat_no=1#menu).
Possibly you might need to lend an older Core2 cpu to install bios V1.2 or ask the retailer to flash it for you. First step is of course to try eliminating other possible sources for the issue as listed above.

P7n platinum - e8400 overclocking issues, pls post your settings

Dear OC experts,
I have troubles overclocking e8400 to 3.6 ghz on p7n platinum board. I have tried many variables and options in BIOS, but the problem remains the same. While doing regular tasks on my PC, everything seems to be stable, but when I start a game (battlefield 2 bad company or skyrim) the PC freezes. I have upgraded BIOS to the latest version, I have all the newest drivers, tried many different settings in the OS, but it does not help. The video card is gtx560. There are no problems/freezing when I set all the values in the cell section in bios back to default.
I have searched web alot, my eyes are red... The only remaining hope - you : )
I would greatly appreciate your help. Could you please post your bios settings for the OC'ed e8400 if you have the same board.
My systems is:
E8400, 4GB 800mhz 6400 RAM
3 HDD (total 1TB)

P7N Mobo won't POST after a month, revisited

recieved new (not really new, it's been installed in something before) mobo from 2nd RMA, still no boot. amazing that the serial number was only sequence numbers away from the original. anyhow, system again 'barebones'd and still no POST. even tried a plain jane PCI video card to no avail. i'm shocked. MSI again offered to RMA, at this point what's the use? i ordered EVGA's model instead. at least they'll cross-ship if there's something wrong.
so, what are my options now except to RMA again? i don't want this board anymore, i'd rather have my dough back but i'm afraid it's $150 up in smoke.
guess i'll go try and find a port80 card from my lab and see if that'll tell me anything, because i'm pretty much done waiting for this thing to ever work right and so far sending it back 2x hasn't gotten me anywhere.

a bit of background:
Firstly, I'm a BIOS architect, so i'm not new to building/debugging systems.
system was originally working in following config: 2x1GB Patriot DDR2 800 (4-4-4-12, 2.1V set via BIOS), Q9300 2.5GHz (no overclock, stock voltages for everything else), 700W p/s, Zotac 8800GT 512MB PCIe 2.0 video, Samsung IDE DVD drive (master in IDE1), WD 40GB IDE drive (master IDE0), Seagate 160GB SATA I (SATA 1 port), PS2 keyboard/mouse, ethernet.
when the WD started to go (the OS disk) i cloned it to an 80GB Seagate SATA II laptop drive i had and ran that until i got a real replacement drive. The 80GB seagate went into SATA port 1 and the 160 moved to SATA 2. DVD i think i moved to IDE0. Things worked fine. New Seagate 250GB SATA II 3.5" drive arrived and i cloned the 80GB to that and swapped it into SATA port 1. THis is where the trouble started.
Upon rebooting, the system didn't come up all the way. I rechecked my drive connections and rebooted. The BIOS posted and indicated it had restored defaults due to 3x failed attempts to boot. (Of course this was only 2 boots, but i didn't pay much attention). I set the memory timing back to 4-4-4-12, 2.1V and checked all others (looked fine) and rebooted. system never posted after that.
Only thing system appears to do is power up and the CPU fan runs. Putting a 4 pin fan has the fan start up fast, then slows down (which to me says BIOS is booting enough to turn down the fan via the fan controller).
Figured it was a p/s issue, so tried one i had laying around, no POST.
Figured it was CPU problem, got a new one and tried again, no POST.
Thought perhaps it was a p/s issue again (the second one i had was pretty old, but came from a formerly working system), bought a brand new BFG 650W and tried again, no POST.
I then tried everything in the troubleshooting guides, removed from system to anti-static mat (i have a wrist 'leash' and the mat is properly grounded to house ground), and tried all combinations of no disk drives, no memory, single memory, tried old PCI video card, all no POST.
RMA'd mobo. They repaired something (didn't indicate what). Got system back, plugged it all back together and powered up, no POST.
Tried all troubleshooting tricks again, no POST.
RMA'd again, this time requested completely new mobo.
Got system back, plugged it all back together and powered up, no POST again!
Ordered EVGA mobo.
Got *another* RMA after talking to MSI tech support live. The only thing that he could suggest is that perhaps the new drive caused some problem to the board. This might be plausible, but SATA being hot pluggable, i wouldn't think that this could be an issue ever, even if i did plug it in while the system was on (which i didn't, every insertion/removal has been with system disconnected from power (removed A/C cable from p/s)).
Does *anyone* have any ideas that i might try?
(This is a system that's supposedly tested ok from MSI, and since i've got a different board coming if someone would like to toss me $100 i'd sell it rather then send it back). I'd rather keep it and get it working since i've spent my hard-earned cash and time on it already, but at this point it's been 6 weeks and i can't be without a desktop for any longer.
