If possible, you might want to try the card on another computer. This should tell you if the card is faulty or if there's something else that needs work on your current system.
If you are unable to test the card on another computer or if the card does work on another system, you might want to contact support and providing the system information so that they can assist you. Be sure to run the system information utility only after you have installed the sound card on the system in question.

Dell optiplex 755 won't boot with NI PCI Fieldbus card installed

After installing NI Configurator 3.1.0 on new Dell optiplex 755 and then installing the NI PCI Fieldbus card the pc won't boot up.
This card works fine 745 and older dell pc's.
Anybody else having this problem?

Hi,
In which step does the boot process fail? Is there any error message?
After installing NI-FBUS 3.1, please go to Windows Device Manager, check whether the driver of PCI-FBUS is correctly installed. There should be no any error in Device Manager.
You can try the following methods.
1. Change to another PCI slot.
2. Use Windows XP. NI-FBUS 3.1 does not support Windows Vista.
3. If there exist other PCI devices in the system, remove them and try using PCI-FBUS only.
4. Update the drivers of Dell Optiplex 755 if there are new versions, including video card, ethernet card, etc.

P35 Neo FR wont boot with 1066 Ram

Hi Guys,
I have a problem with a new build. The specs are
P35 Neo FR
E8400 (not overclocked)
2 gb Crucial Balistax tracer 1066 Ram
XFX 7900GS card
450W PSU
It will boot and I have been into windows to which all seems fine, however I have an issue.
1. The BIOS and CPU-Z are showing my ram at 667. I have manually adjusted it to 5-5-5-15 and set the divider so it should be running 1066. However it wont boot and goes into the re-boot over and over and over and over and over again "mode". This can only be rectified by re-setting the CMOS and then it will boot with its origional 4-4-4-24 timing @ 667. I have checked the voltages and they make no difference. It will only boot when the LED's on both ram sticks are lighting up on first power up. Ram has been tested in another PC and doesnt seem an issue.
Bios is 1.5 I think. Should I flash and go to 1.8?
I will also try the Mobo, PSU, HD and GPU without anything else attatched to see if there is a problem
Also, 1 stick of ram at a time to see if thats causing an issue.
I would appreciate any suggestions
Thanks

Which FSB/Memory Ratio did you choose in BIOS?
Does it work, if you choose the divider for DDR2-800 MHz?
What is the memory voltage recommended for these modules @1066 MHz effective speed?
Did you try with one stick of RAM only?
Thanks for the quick reply
I think the divider was 1.1-6? I will confirm in a couple of hours once I am home. It works at 1-1 but the speed was 400mhz. It also ran at 667. Whatever that divider was.
I am going to try the one memory module test tonight and I will also report on that and the DDR800 settings.
http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=BL2KIT12864AL1065 Is my ram and its rated at 2.2V
Thanks in advance and I will update in the next few hours.

Comp wont boot with ram in any slots besides 1&3 no matter what, faulty board?

Ok i've tried pretty much everything, got latest bios, changed timings to everything but the comp just wont boot if I have any ram in slots 2&4. Actually got the comp to boot up with ram in slots 1&2 once, but tried with all 4 slots filled and didn't work, and after that slot 2 didn't work again.
Could it be a faulty board? I know it's not the ram.

Ahh, turns out you were right tiresmoke.
Even though I thought I had 4 sticks that were exactly the same..one wasn't. 3 of them are xms32004.1 0427033 - 0...the one i've always had in my comp is 5.1 0430069 - 1. Put in 2 of the 4.1 and was able to run dual channel np. That explains why one time I was able to run dual channel then switch the ram and couldn't..had no idea there was minor differences..and have no idea why I got 3 of one kind and 1 of another when I orderd the 4 sticks.
Going to try and exchange the 4 sticks for 2 1 gig sticks..how good is neweggs return policy heh? Been like nearly 2 months..

MSI p67a-gd53 (b3) Wont boot with ram in slot 1 and 3, or 2 and 4.

Hi i recently built my own system, with just one ram stick in it boots fine and everything.
When i try to put the other stick in slot for so that in runs dual channel it just wont boot, it turns on starts the fans up and then just goes off, and repeats this.
The ram i have is Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit.
It also doesnt work in slots 2 and 4, can anyone help me :(?
My setup is :
OCZ ZS Series 650W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail
MSI P67A-GD53 Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
MSI ATI Radeon HD 6870 OC HAWK 1024MB
Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB
Seagate Barracuda 500gb HD
Gets no beeps on boot with just one stick in, im really confused :s
All Help will be appreciated.

Both ram sticks worked in slot one and it would boot but I tried running a game and it froze each occasion, cud this be due to the ram being dual channel and only having one in? Or that the ram has the wrong settings.
I have returned the motherboard along with the ram to the shop i got it from for tests to see if the dimm slots had problems. Il let you guys know what they say.
Thanks for the advice, when I get it back il build it again and see if it runs fine, if not il try the things youve said.
Can anyone else shed any light on this? Any other things I may have to try?
Thx again

RADEON 7950 WONT BOOT WITH P67A-GD65

Just got a new ATI Radeon HD7950 graphics card a couple of days ago and it refuses to even boot in my main PC (Intel i7-2700K, MSI P67A-GD65).
Won't even get into BIOS. Just black screen.
Updated to latest BIOS. Still nothing.
Today I have tried the card in an older PC (Intel Q6600, ASUS Maximus Formula) and it works just fine.
So I thought it might have been a power supply issue so I swapped the power supply from old PC into my new PC, but it still didn't work.
So now I think its an incompatibility with the MSI P67A-GD65 motherboard.
Note: Previous graphics card was ATI Radeon 6870 which is still working fine with P67A-GD65.
Can anyone suggest why this graphics card won't boot with the P67A-GD65?

Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 02-March-13, 06:16:55
What OS are you running? UEFI/BIOS version? CPU? Is this an MSI graphics card? If not, have you visited with the card manufacturer for any available information they may have?
Too much time passed for me to edit and delete this question of CPU, as you did list it.

Comp wont boot with ram in any slots besides 1&3

No idea why...have 4 of the exact same ram and i've mixed and matched so it's not the ram..if I put ram in slot 2 or 4 the comp just wont boot.
Anyone know what is causing this? Thanks in advance

H9-1150 PC wont Boot with WIndows 7 Premium 64 bit with ASUS 960 GTX Card.

I saw others have posted simular issues but i thought id repost this again in case there is more help. I have the Pavalion Elite Phonix h9-1150 desktop with Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit. and the HP 7.07 bios (seems no way to upgrade the bios).
The issue is like others have had i install the new graphics card the Asus 960 GTX Card which came out last month and the system starts up gives about 3 beeps in about 30 seconds each and then it goes to a black screen with a blinking curser and nothing else happens. cant enter bios or the HP settings..
I did try to disable UEFI boot devices in the bios settings and only enable legacy devices (after switching back to my original card then switching to the new card) but it still gives the 3 beeps upon booting. However i was able to enter windows. though i think it may be due to shutting off the computer with the old card in without powering down first. and after the 3 beeps happens (which still locks you out of the bios menu) it shows up the window where you can select safe mode or normal mode.. as sometimes happens if you boot up your computer with windows 7 if you had just turned it off without powering down or something. Through that i am able to enter windows and run the PC and graphics card with no issue its just when i try to boot the issue happens.
and No HP suppor it is NOT a defect with the Card itself. Like many before. i bought a EVGA Card a while back a 780 GTX and the SAME issue happend (though i didnt try the removing the UEFI boot devices then) ...
There is a spacific issue with HP computers that seem to lock out "new" hardware from booting.
Honestly ill be blunt. I really think this is poor doings I read somewhere that while HP will never state it they do this on purpose to prevent people messing up warrenty or any "liabity" occuring by people installing other hardware onto HP stock computers
that makes no since to me. the PC SHOULD be able to run the card. in fact its running it now once i was able to bypass the lock out (temporarly) check benchmarks everyhting is fine the card runs 3 times faster then the old one (as should be the case).
But its just this lockout that HP for some reason has installed on their bios/motherboards that is the issue.
Good news is i got it from amazon and i have about a month till i have to return it. which i think this time i will do. to see if anything crops up in a month or something.
The ONLY solution it seems HP offically has is that to disable secure boot under windows 8
but this is not a windows 8 computer. and i do assume even if iINSTALL windows 8 . the issue would not go away because since its an older bios there would be no way to have a secure boot option to remove?
HP you really need to get on the ball and give us a direct reply on this. Is there ANY WAY to fix this? Can you not simply make a update of older bioses to allow this? Or do you just not want to worry about older pCs?
either way i think this is wrong and very frustrating and to be honest. If this is the case when my pc otherwise SHOULD run the card
its a PCI express 16x slot that is 3.0
here is the deetailed specs as per your page
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=c03273835
the card SHOULD WORK fine. I thought the 780 GTX was a bit too much for the PC as it had more then a six pin port and needed a bit more power so at first i thought that was the issue. so i returned it. and got this new card now.
however the ASUS 960 GTX card requires the SAME power supply as the default GTX 550 Ti card and the SAME SIX PIN connector
so it SHOULD work.
and benchmarks show that it DOES its just the stupid bios ..that is having the issue.
i am afraid to power down the computer at the moment and try again to see if windows boots normally after disabling the UEPI boot devvices because it may not boot properly.......
HP you are one of the biggest suppliers of computers you know technology these are YOUR computers. WHY cant you give us a direct awnser over this.
ITS VERY frustrating
and to be honest if i cannot resolve this issue i am very hestient to ever buy another HP product if their computers spacifically have this new hardware lockout mode.
because i have the card running now on my pc it runs great! 3 times faster as it should! and yet i know in the back of my mind if i cant figure out this issue likely ill just have to send it back.........least i have some time.
and right now i dont have the money to buy a new pc . this PC is JUST fine for what i need for now other then wanting a bit better card...
it shoudnt be this much of a hassle should it?
Thank you.

Hi,
You need the BIOS update that is listed under Windows 8 in order to support the newer graphics. You need to upgrade to Windows 8 or temporarily install Windows 8 so that you can install the BIOS update. While there may be other ways to install the BIOS update, clearly having Windows 8 running will be the safest way. The version 8 BIOS is your best chance at getting the newer graphics cards to work.
You can trial Windows 8 Enterprise for 90 days.
If you decide to install W8, then create the HP external recovery media and backup your data before you do anything.
The reality is that there is no guarantee that any particular graphics card will work in any particular PC even if the graphics card works in other PCs or even the same or similar model PCs. Know what the return policy is before you buy.

E9280t can't boot with USB 3.0 cards (multiple vendors tried) New e9280t BIOS version needed

Hello...
I purchased a new e9280t last year from the HP Website complete with 9 gb memory (now 16), Blu-ray/DVD writer & reader, Hauppauge Digital TV tuner, ATI Radeon 4850 Dual Monitor video card, etc... SInce then I've added more memory and a 3 port Firewire 400/800 card. Its running Win 7 Pro (sp1) and the BIOS is v5.29.
I purchased a external USB 3.0 WD drive (3 TB) and a StarTech USB 3.0 card (Amazon.com). After installing the USB 3.0 card, the system would power on for one second and die and then do it again a couple seconds later and the cycle continued until the power cord was pulled. I then pulled the USB 2.0 card and tried again only to have the same results. The only cards that remained in the system during the testing was the ATI card and the Hauppuage TV Card.
Thinking the problem was with the USB 3.0 card, I purchased another vendor's (Rocketfish from BestBuy) and installed it. The same problem as with the other USB 3.0 card, the system won't start.
No driver software or any other changes were made to the system before installation attempts (per vendor's installation instructions).
Since the failures all occur during the initial power up sequence and that the cards were tried with and without having power connected to them, that the problem is only correctable with a BIOS upgrade for the TRUCKEE motherboard. I could be wrong but I'm going on 30 years of hardware experience as my framework for that opinion.
If anyone else has this same problem, It would be good to rally around and see if HP notices us.
Thanks,
Norm

Greetings,
I have tried multiple vendors and have yet to find a USB 3 card that will allow the computer to boot (for more than a 1/10th of a second).
I've tried removing every card in the system except the the display card and no go. Two of the cards removed had power connectors to them and the third did not. So even after removing those cards along with disconnecting one of the two internal hard drives, I'm certain its not a power issue. As to what it might be, I don't know.
If anyone else has been able to get a USB 3 card to work in that system, I'd love to hear from you.
Thanks,
Norm

MacBook wont boot with a USB HDD attached

The problem I am experiencing is that I bought a USB 2 HDD (500gb lacie) and I formatted it to 2 partitions but now when I try to boot up my MacBook, it wont go past the grey screen (no Apple logo). If I remove the usb hdd it works again and boots to Leopard. And for some odd reason when I'm in Leopard and after the boot crazyness, if I replug it in, it wont recognise the drive at all, I have to disconnect the power cable and plug it back in to see the drive again.. Is there a work-around for this, 'cause I dont want to be playing with the cables everytime I have to reboot...

Ah! Then I'm sure that both devices would need Windows drivers!
Maybe there are some later drivers for the webcams...

That sort of thing is typical of incompatible modules. Turns out that unless you order your add-on memory from Toshiba or buy memory made by Kingston, you'll likely as not have that difficulty.

HDD recovery failed, Qosimo wont boot with BOOTMGR is missing

Hi all,
i recently used the Toshiba HDD recovery thing to restore my laptop to factory settings, while it was doing this it popped up saying it failed, I restarted and boots up to Toshiba logo then comes to a screen with just BOOTMGR is missing ctrl alt del to restart. Anyone know how I can solve this so it will work once more?
Laptop is Toshiba Qosimo X500 - 149
Thanks

Hello Harry
HDD recovery image is screwed up and you will not be able to start it anymore. Only way to install Toshiba recovery image is to use recovery DVD. Have you created one following Toshiba recovery reminder?
Here is original reminder message:
+Important INFORMATION+
+Your system is equipped with hard disk recovery system. If you need to repair your computer by restoring it to original factory state, you can do it directly from harddisk (press F8 when you boot your computer, choose "Repair your computer" and follow the menue instructions) or create a bootable Recovery Disc Medium for this purpose.+
+*Toshiba recommends you to create Recovery Disc Medium using the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator" to ensure that you are able to restore your computer to the original factory installed state, even if your computer gets seriously damaged.*+

MsI version 1.0 p7n sli wont boot with e8400

I have a p7n SLI that is version 1.0 that i want to use with a intel e8400 45nm. It passes the ram check at the startup and then just hangs. I can't even get to the bios options so that i could set it up for a usb bios flash. I have a sufficient 600 watt PSU, a 9600gt nvidia graphics card and the ram is brand new and works fine. I have tried unplugging everything except 1 ram stick/power and it still hangs at the same place. Help is needed.

So all i have to do is rename the A7380NMS.210 file to AMIBOOT.ROM and save it too a floppy?
Yes. Then you have to connect an internal floppy drive to the target system (not an USB floppy drive, but an old-school internal one), insert the prepared floppy disk, hook up a PS/2 keyboard and press CTRL + HOME after start-up.

What is the afud4234.exe that was included in the bios zip download?
That is the AMI BIOS Flashing utility. It is needed for a regular BIOS Update in DOS Mode. It is not needed for the AMI BIOS Recovery Procedure which we are talking about now.
