PC wont boot after installing nforce driver on MSI K8N Neo Platinum

After installing the nforce driver my system won't boot again. If i use safe mode it stops at the file mup.sys . Does anybody know anything about this?

Can you provide a signature with all of your hardware information like my signature (see below). Include drives and locations. Better chance you'll get help that way

Unable to install windows XP på MSI K8N NEO

Hi!
I have problems installing windows XP (SP1) with MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition. After I bootet my computer (I build it myself) I noticed I had extrem cpu temperatures (65-70 degrees celcius). A quick search on the net indicated that a bios-upgrade might solve the problem, as my current bios probably showed too high temperatures.
As I had already installed windows XP i downloaded the bios and upgraded using the msi-windows-bios program. And, after the reboot my cpu temerature was 20 degrees lower (45 degrees celcius), which is more normal. But during the bootup of windows I got a blue-screen (or, actully a blue blink, just for a nano-second), and then my computer rebooted.
As the system were fairly new and didn't contain any importaint data, I decided to try to make a fresh install of winXP. But now I get a blue-screen during the installation, when the progress-bar says "installing devices", the blue screen appears when it is about 75%.
The installation of XP went fine before the bios upgrade, and I used XP for several hours without any problems at all - except the high cpu temperatur. Now my cpu temeperatur is acceptable, but XP wont install/boot.
I have tried to disable all the integraded devices (such as firewire, network, sound card etc) in the bios menu, but the XP install still provides a bluescreen during the installation of devices.
My system:
A64 3000+
1024Mb RAM (corsair value, I believe)
Samsung SATA 160Gb HD
Matrox Millenium G400 (I know it is old)
NEC 2510 DVD Burner
As I said, this is propably caused by the new bios, as it did work with the old one. I have also tried "Load failsafe defaults". Do you guys have any ideas of how to fix this? Should I (can I) downgrade my bios (I do not have a floppy drive in the computer).

Hi wirrum,
I see you are Swedish (the på was a give away).
I recently aquired a MSI K8N Neo2 from Komplett - where did you get yours from? maybe that have a bad batch because I am seeing the same problems as you.
I have two different problems , the same stability problems you are seeing and problems with the keyboard (ps2) not always starting up. I'm currently at Bios V1 and after seeing your problems I might just wait with V1.1 unless everything else fails.
Im considering an RMA to komplett soon and asking them for a motherboard that works (maybe from another manufacterer).
I have a decent PSU (Antec Truepower 480) and DDR400 from Kingston thats on their reccommended list, no overclocking, stable settings, I built the thing with ESD protection and carefully. Not overly impressed right now.
Some suggestions - turn off AGP Fastwrite, turn on SATA DMA access if you are using SATA. Turn off any Overclocking, move your memory around , try just one stick in DIMM 1 see if that helps.
I finally managed to get through an XP install but it took 6 hours to install. And it will occasionally stutter then shutdown entirely.
Quality..

MSI k8n neo platinum hangs after post single beep

Today I powered off my computer, and when I tried to power it back up the x850 fan just runs at full speed, and never drops to idle and the screen stays dark. If I reset the bios then it will post as far as asking to press Del to enter setup, but freezes at that point. This thing has been running like a champ and this is the first problem I've ever had! I unhooked/unplugged everything but the keyboard/video/ram/cpu. Tried running with four different memory modules in single channel and dual channel but no luck there either. None of the hardware below has been changed in the last six months. Any ideas? TIA!

Core2Duo E6400 would be a gain of about 15% compared to 4000+ ( in games 1024x768, no aniso or aa). Quality options and better resolution would shorten the gain. Other applications than games e.g. cinebench would run a lot faster on the C2D. The main advantage compared to the 4000+ would be dual core because many future games will be optimized for this. Question is: Is this worth $272?
With only one 7600GT installed you won't be able to play most of the new games in full detail because of lacking 3d power although Core2Duo installed. The gain of cpu performance will be therefor useless (if main focus is on gaming). 7600GT sli-array would be an option for full detail and using more cpu power but it would also be slower than one 7950GT for nearly the same amount of money spent for 2 7600GT.
1. If you need a gaming pc I'd only buy a new C2D if you can also afford high end vga. Otherwise cpu power is wasted.
2. 7600GT is only an option if you want to save money now and you want a second one later. Buying two now to get a sli-array isn't very clever. Less performance than 7950GT, same price.
3. Buying one gig of ddr2 isn't very clever either. More and more applications need more than 1 gig (for example vista!). When changing to ddr2, change to 2 gig dual channel kit.
4. Getting $300 for your old stuff seems quite optimistic to me.
Conclusion: Save your money for better vga! Take back 7600gt, keep old vga and 4000+, wait for a little time and buy Geforce 8800 GTS. Increase of gaming performance would be unbelieveable. After providing high end vga you can upgrade to C2D in next step and receive a noticeable increase of performance in all kinds of applications.
Hmm.. very good points. I went and read some reviews of the upcoming 8600 and 8800. They are quite impressive for the money. I believe I'll return everything and find a limp-a-long $50 mobo to replace the dead msi. It looks like holding out for quad core with dual SLI is the real gain over my current setup. On a side note I won't be running vista until after sp1 or possible sp2. No tangible benefit to me! What suggestions do you have for a solid performing mobo for the following:
socket 939
4 240pin DDR slots
AGP (My X850 XT is still strong enough for everything I do)
SATA 1.5 (no need for the faster one as I have none of those drives)

Pen drive as A: - K8N Neo Platinum?

Is it possible to make a pen drive appear as A: on the K8N Neo Platinum?
My floppy has failed, and I am thinking of replacing it with a pen drive. I'd like it to appear as A:, so that it can be used for the BIOS recovery procedure that looks to that drive.
Thanks in advance.
[EDIT] Now have the flash drive and it boots as A:

Sata Drive lockup Issue K8N Neo Platinum

Issue started with Bios update to 1.8. Stable system for the previous 10 months until Bios update, now appears I have all kinds of failing hardware(although I'll explain why I don't). After finally flashing back to 1.7 and reloading operating system, fighiting with sata drives, network card connection, mouse, and USB connections - I am out of ideas. My latest problem is I have 2 WD raptor 74GIG hardrives, which I can't run at the same time. No raid configuration, running on Sata 3 and 4(yes tried 1 and 2). Anytime I write or access drive 2(d) my computer locks up. If I change the drives around and load operating system on other drive, still have same issue only 1 drive works at a time. Not a hardware issue with the drives(maybe motherboard?) Running AMD 64 3400, K8N Neo Platinum Board with 1 gig corsair recommended memory, 6800 GT Nvidia card, soundblaster audigy. Bios set to defaults, XP professional SP2. Anyone seen had this issue that can recommend what to do from here?

I have had similar BIOS issues This Thread. I believe that flashing back to 1.5 will help you, then try 1.6, I have tried going back to 1.7 after 1.8 and 1.9 and continued to have problems, so for me going back to 1.5 has been the best so far. Good Luck.

Windows 7 wont boot after install of boot camp drivers

I have been trying to get boot camp on imac mid 2010 with Maverick. TodayI used
Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621
The first set of drivers
Boot Camp Support Software 5.0.5033
kept crashing on windows. Today I noticed a new set of drivers, well its the same issue. If I leave off the boot camp drivers windows is fine, except no sound and other driver missing issues but it works. The problem seems to be Mav or the drivers, before updating to Mav everything was fine. Sometimes I can even get to the windows log on screen, at one point I was able to log on and do things. So being smart, I restarted and the problem came back. Who says Macs dont have issues.
Any thoughts

Just ran into this same issue.
My problem got resolved after using the x64 version DVD of Win7 (just x64 instead of the DVD that had both x86 and x64 versions).
What I did:
My host is Windows 8.1
After installing Windows 7 x64 as VM on my 8.1 based laptop two days ago, I wanted to do the same on my desktop PC, but I had the same issue described here.
I used a DVD just with the x64 version for my laptop and a DVD with both x86 and x64 version for my desktop.
Tried repairing as advised by a post, but got the error: "This version of System Recovery Options is not compatible
with the version of Windows you are trying to repair. Try using a recovery disc that is compatible with this version of windows."
I exported and imported the VM from my laptop to my desktop to test it and it ran with no problems.
So I tried the DVD that had just the x64 version of Win7 and that installed without issues.
I'm curious if this happens only when a DVD with more than one Win7 versions is used.

Osx wont boot after installing windows dev preview.

Hi. I recently added boot camp and windows 8 to my 2011 mbp 17". Ever since the install my computer wont boot osx unless i run disk utility and repair my mac partition. Then everything runs fine untill i go into windows again and then go back to osx. Thoughts?

Do i need to make a clone or will my time machine backup work.
TimeMachine drives are not "hold the option key bootable" like a clone and with Lion there is only a "hold Command r" Recovery Partition on the same drive your trying to repair.
So to get a external source to boot Lion, you need to Carbon Copy Cloner Lion to a another new/blank Disk Utility HFS+ Journaled formatted drive. Disconnect your TimeMachine drive before doing anything and don't clone to it or everything will be erased, use another drive.
Once you have Lion cloned, hold option and boot from the Lion clone and test it out.
mcwilliamsc wrote:
I only have one external drive andni dont think a clone will fit.
Only clone to another drive with no data on it, don't clone to a partition, don't clone to a TimeMachine drive. Disconnect all other drives before cloning so you don't make a mistake.
mcwilliamsc wrote:
Also when you say c boot do you mean using a lion install disk as opposed to the install option when you boot into disk utility?
Your signature says you have 10.6.8, obviously there are no install disks for 10.7, however you can make some by "hold option" and clicking on Purchases in the MacAppStore and redownloading the Lion installer (but don't install)
Follow these directions to make multiple "hold c" bootable DVD copies of the Lion installer.
http://eggfreckles.net/notes/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
Test the disks out, you can see it's just like the 10.6.8 installer disk with Disk Utility and everything.
With a Lion DVD one can install Lion AND the Lion Recvoery Partition on a new or totally erased drive, like we are about to do.
When you clone Lion, it only clones the Lion OS X partition, not the Lion Recovery Partition. So by totally erasing the entire disk and installing Lion from the DVD can the Lion Rececovery Partition and Lion OS X partition be restored and your GPT repaired and your firmware flushed.
So once you got a Lion clone disconnect it, then c boot from the DVD and erase your ENTIRE Lion internal drive, this means you have to select the drive makers name on the left, HFS+ journaled of course.
Once that is competed, install Lion fresh, this will create both the Lion OX partition and the Lion Recovery Partition.
When that is finished, don't bother booting into the fresh Lion install, simply option boot off the Lion clone and reverse clone onto the Lion OS X partition, this will place back Lion, all your programs and files just like before.
Then you should be back to normal, your GTP is fixed, EFI is fixed (reboot twice) and you have everything except the Windows bootcamp partition.

The point is, someone in the forums already did. All the forum regulars should remember when it happened too. A guy chastized us because we ask about the specs on people's power supplies. He took every post in the VGA forum to date and catagorized the solutions and found that only 50% of the problems in the forums were Power Supply Related. To me, if one out of every two problems in the VGA Forums is Power Supply Related, by asking the question, we can identify and solve 50% of the problems.
But we are used to people like yourself coming along every few months. Are you sure you did not used to log into these forums under the username of elzie?
Is this one of your old Threads:
A must read for everyone....
Richard
Yes, he does sound a bit like me doesn't he? (or vice versa). But no, we are two different people which your moderators can prove by looking at the IP addresses of both myself and elzie.
But I must admit he echo's my views. There is a definite danger that some posters who are here to help people will latch on to one supposed "solution" i.e. the PSU which is then tailored to fit all problems. Same goes for avoiding flashing the VGA BIOS especially over the Internet.
But as I've said before, 98% of system problems are software related and hardware only plays a minor role. It's a bit like a car. Without gas, you're not going anywhere regardless of all the technology that's been pumped into it. But gas can get contaminated with grit and can clog up fuel lines. So what should we do then? Change the whole car maybe? Or just replace the carburetor? After all, we don't want to risk damaging the machine by cleaning it do we?
There's just too much emphasis these days on blaming the product as the cause of the problem and replacing parts rather than taking the view that it's the user who has caused the problem himself by not following instructions when installing software. Statistics can be adapted to suit the issue too. But as I've already said, if the PSU was the main cause of failure of high end cards, the Internet would be literally littered with news about it. But there aren't any such articles, so how do you explain that?? And as Toms Hardware.com mentions here, the CPU and high end card can draw 160 watts. So it stands to reason that if you've got a 300W PSU, you've got more than enough over to run both doesn't it??
It's all very convenient to say, "replace the PSU and your troubles will be over", but if the problem persists after doing that, it won't do MSI reputation any good and the only benefit will be that a PSU manufacturer will have made a little extra profit this year.

PC wont boot after installing c

Hi?I tried installing my new X-Fi XtremeMusic card but whenever I try turning the computer on, the computer wont boot up, or even reach POST. The monitor doesnt even power on. As soon as I remove the card and try turning it back on, it all boots up just fine. I have tried installing to different PCI slots with the same results. Whats the problem?

That seems to be a known issue that have been for a lot of time around with some combinations of X-Fi, mobo, and GPU...
This problem doesnt have any real solution at all... if you dont have a way to config in the bios the priority of video card, like what goes first for video PCI or PCI-E, that is the only way to fix it so far.

Won't boot after installing scanner driver

I am running Leopard on a MacPro.
I installed a Microtek scanner driver and when it rebooted it just constantly shows the winding gear. It won't go into safe mode, I have tried to use disk warrior and rebuilt the drive, I also tried to do an archival install and it said it cant install... Any other suggestions?

Hi Kyle,
Are you holding down the C key when you boot the MacPro from your restore disk?
See if you can run the Apple Hardware Test: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2684
You can try booting in Single User Mode:
Home Index
*Starting up in single-user mode*
If you want to troubleshoot the startup sequence of your computer using only UNIX commands, you can start up your computer in single-user mode. You should do this only if you are comfortable with UNIX.
To start up in single-user mode:
Choose Apple menu > Restart, or press the power button if the computer is turned off.
Press Command-S as the computer starts up.
The computer screen is black with standard white text. You can now run the UNIX commands that you want.
In single-user mode, not all functions of Mac OS X are available. To use the Mac OS X interface or other high-level aspects of Mac OS X, you need to start up in the standard mode.
To switch back to the Mac OS X interface, type reboot and press the Return key. The computer restarts and you see the login dialog or the Mac desktop, depending on your login preferences.

Please help! emac wont boot after installing os 9 alongside os x!

Hi,
I am a teacher. My school recently gave me an emac to use in my classroom that has Tiger installed on it. I have a bunch of OS 9 games that I want the kids to be able to use, so I decided to try to install OS 9 alongside os x. I just installed OS 9 on the same partition as os x using an OS 9 emac installation disc. I had to install OS 9 on the same partition as OS X because I am not allowed to repartition the school computer. I tested out classic in OS X, but it didn't play the games well. I then tried to boot naively into os 9 by going into system preferences, then to startup, and then selected OS 9 as what to boot into. When I restarted, the only thing I was left with was a floppy disk with a flashing question mark inside. I tried to boot back into OS X by holding the option key, but my only option for booting is OS 9. I then tried to boot back into OS X by holding down the "x" key, but it still tries to boot into OS 9. Could someone please help?
Thanks!!
-Stacy

Hi, Stacy -
Since the machine boots to the OS 9 Install CD, it is indeed OS 9 bootable, by definition.
Since the installer on the CD was able to 'see' the destination drive, then that drive does have OS 9 drivers on it.
Those two are the primary causes for a machine not being able to use OS 9 as a boot OS.
I assume you accepted the default install of OS 9 and did not customize it. If that is the case, then it should have installed all files needed by your machine in order to use it as a bootable OS.
About all that is left is make sure that the OS 9 System Folder has been blessed - registered as a bootable OS. To do that, boot to the OS 9 Install CD but do not run the installer. Instead, open the icon for the hard drive (if it is not already open), locate and open the System Folder (not the folder named just System - that's OSX). Drag the files named Finder and System (both are loose in the System Folder's window) out to the desktop. Close the Syatem Folder. Then drop those two files back into the closed System Folder.
Once that is done the System Folder should be displaying a miniture glyph of the Mac OS logo superimposed on the icon for that folder.
One other question, re the CD you used for the installation. Was it a Software Install CD specific to that machine (does it show eMac on the label)? Or was it a retail OS 9 Install CD (white label, gold 9)?

Slow boot after installing SSD drive + Grub problem + Kernel panicks

Hey
So i just got a Samsung 840 EVO, and was ready to see my system fly, so i installed Arch on it, the instalation was kinda weird, since im in the middle of some major developing for a startup i couldnt risk to lose time configuring my all system so what i did was this:
Install Arch on the SSD (/root on sdb1) while keeping my other Arch install (/root on sda5) and sharing the /home and /swap (on sda6 and sda7) between both systems, i installed grub on sdb also because i didnt knew what to do
So now when i boot the laptop i get the grub from sda wich only has Old Arch and windows, if i press f9 at boot and boot from the ssd i go to sdb grub that has Old Arch, New Arch and Windows, since the SSD was instaled via a caddy it doesnt get recognized in the BIOS, but strangely i get 2 Universal Hard Drives (hdd and sdd) when pressing f9
So first question is, should i reeinstall grub on sda or is there a way to put the SDD as primary?
The other problem is that systemd-analyze is giving me worst times than with the hdd, and i dont see a huge improvement with the SSD as i should. Is it because i have /home /swap on the hdd? I have read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Solid_State_Drives and did as told.

You did not share what the kernel panic says, but I guess it has to do with your root file systems not mounted correctly. If it happens like 75% of the time, sounds like you are using /dev/sdax and it gets enumarated differently? Use UUID's instead.
Your "slow boot" is a seperate problem, see the thread you linked too for how to fix that.
Its a fresh install but i alredy have DE and programs, i used Helmuth script to install all the stuff, just so i didnt forget to install stuff.
No idea what this means, but if it is some third party script downloaded off the internet - use them only if you understand exactly what it does, else the chances are you will run into some problems with no idea how you got there. For simply keeping a list of packages to install, put them in a text file and pipe them into pacman (see also here.

Solaris wont boot after installing Smart Boot Manager

I installed Solaris 10 today. Everything was fine, but because i have 2 WXP installations on my 2 harddrives i have to install a boot manager. I always used Smart Boot Manager because it was simple and powerful. But after that if i try to run Solaris, the Solaris Booting System starts, everything is fine (except this that it doesnt see my keyboard) but then i get an error like this:
ERROR: system/filesystem/root:default cant mount /boot
and promts to type the administrator password. I uninstalled SBM and now everything is OK. But i cant boot my 2nd WXP install.
(my HDD's:
HDD1@SATA-0: (First boot device in my BIOS)
1) WXP
2) Solaris Boot <- Active
3) Solaris
4) NTFS
HDD2@PATA-0-Master (Second boot device in my BIOS)
1) WXP <- Active
2) NTFS)
Has anyone a workaround for this problem?

That seems to be a known issue that have been for a lot of time around with some combinations of X-Fi, mobo, and GPU...
This problem doesnt have any real solution at all... if you dont have a way to config in the bios the priority of video card, like what goes first for video PCI or PCI-E, that is the only way to fix it so far.

BIOS wont boot after install X

So I install the May drivers. Get the sound card to at least play sound. I then turn the computer off ( EVGA 680i, QX6700, 8800ultra, 2gigs PC28500,X-fi FPS Gamer Fatalty, Vista Ultimate32bit) Next day I turn it back on and it wont even go to bios. I then have to reset my whole CMOS which is annoying as hell and then it boots again. I have had to do this twice so far...which is everytime since I install this card.
Im thinking of just yanking the **bleep** card out. I got 5. to work, but when i play music sound is coming out of one speaker, DOH. All in all I wouldn't be so piss if there wasn't the bios problem. Any way to fix this? The funny part was the main reason i got this card was cause of the dri've bay console looks fetching in my black brushed aluminun TJ09 Silverstone case.

Try this. Download a repair disc from here.
   Windows Vista Recovery Environment ISO X64 version (64 bit)
If you can reach the Recovery Environment by booting that, try the Startup Repair and let us know what happens. Sometimes you need to run it more than once.

Also try a System Restore.
