PT880 Neo resuses to boot after updated BIOS 1.8

Hello, I've got a problem:
I updated the BIOS of a PT880 Neo motherboard using 1GB of RAM and a P4 3.0E processor. The system now powers on, beeps as if to indicate a successful POST, but then I get nothing. I'm wondering what can be done to troubleshoot this issue, as it was working fine before I flashed it. If I need a Northwood cored P4 to do the job I have one I could try, but what needs to be done and has anyone encountered this issue before? thanks!

thats already been done, no effect.
I should state that I had successfully rebooted the system once, messed around with some non-critical system settings (after resoring defaults) and rebooted, then it just didn't come back. I power cycle the system between the BIOS update and messing with the settings though...but I do remember seeing the CoreCell logo which wasn't there before the BIOS upgrade.
I'm at a loss for ideas... help!

G41 Fails to boot after updating BIOS

I hope that somebody has some suggestions, and thank you in advance.
I am helping out a friend who has inherited a 2881-22U. I have managed to successfully upgrade to an 120GB HD and copy the Recovery partition to the drive. (Hey, you use what you can in education). I have gone through the reinstall process successfully several times, and have worked for two weeks with several test WinXP loads so I know that the system works properly.
In checking the support website, of course, I noticed that there was a BIOS update (1XET57WW) and so I did the 1xuj15us.exe non-diskette update. It successfully completed and then rebooted automatically. Windows then failed to load - it hangs during the load process. With trying to boot in Safe Mode & with logging, it would appear that the system hangs after loading drivers\mup.sys (normal configuration) or drivers\agpcpq.sys (safe mode).
If I press the Access IBM button, the recovery partition (IBM Rescue and Recovery) software runs OK, and when if I select "Restore factory contents", it properly completes the format & copy, reboots, does the first automated batch file sequence, reboots and then hangs (at the same place as described above, never getting to SysPrep).
If I put the original 30GB drive back in, it also fails loading Windows XP at the same spot, now that the BIOS has changed.
The system was previously upgraded to 1GB years ago. The system was purchased in January 2005. The hardware diagnostics pass OK.
Thoughts on what's wrong and possible remedies:
Is there some BIOS setting that got changed that I am not understanding?
Is the BIOS update somehow bad (even though the recovery partition software runs OK)?
Was the recovery partition image upgraded as well when the BIOS was updated? If so, what is the specific part number to get the revised image?
Is there some way I can get a BIOS image rollback to an older version?
Thanks for any responses.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solved the problem:
Got the 1xuj15ud.exe diskette BIOS update and got it transferred to a USB flash drive (kind of hard to use a diskette when the system does not have a floppy drive).
Did the update. Reset the BIOS settings again. Voilà, Windows starts loading again.
Why I needed to reflash again, I dunno... Didn't have any sort of error message after the first flash. Certainly wasn't resetting the BIOS settings to default - already did that the first time around.

Dual boot after updated Bios with Linux... Solution

I'm sure that this may be common knowledge for many but I had a devil of a time after I flashed my bios and tried to install a Linux distro. My Windows 8 install went fine on a SSD but I couldn't get my Linux hard drive in my second hard drive caddy in my CD/DVD slot to boot. I'm a goof though. I was using the Linux guided install instead of doing the partition myself and defining / That worked. The Boot files of course go in the Root partition but the distros I used grouped them with the home folder.
I figured this out with my Fedora install. So my solution was to partition the target hard drive with a live DVD. Make a / partition and a home partition and swap. Then load up the distro and go. I hope I've helped someone and that Google pulls this up with a search.

solved- it was the dimm 3 and 4 which got errors.
not using dual channel now. only using DIMM1,2 but at least it boots up.
Then your board is most likely defective. Reseat cpu and see if pins in the socket are bent. Else it might be the slots or their wiring.

Mac won't boot after updating to OSX 10.6.4

I am on my 3rd Mac that won't boot after updating to OSX 10.6.4. One MacBook Pro and two iMacs. I fixed one but the last two are getting the better of me. HD is not fried. Have tried every keyboard shortcut on startup, Disk Warrior via. Target Disk, repairing permissions in single user mode. The machines will not boot off of a CD or DVD and it will not boot up in safe mode. Something in the startup files is preventing startup. I am suspecting Sophos antivirus. I tried to uninstall it and trash it but I think it's still blocking something. Any help would be appreciated.

Got it! Not sure if removing Sophos had anything to do with it but here's what I did.
1) boot dead machine in Target Disk Mode (iMac)
2) boot good machine off Snow Leopard disk (MacBook)
3) install OS to dead machine- I found this next part very curious. When the install was complete the MacBook restarted as the iMac.
4) ran software updates
5) shut down MacBook then shut down iMac
6) rebooted iMac- all was good
I actually did this twice because a co-worker had the exact same problem on her MacBook Pro. Got both fixed today.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Black screen after updating bios

My tablet turned black screen and couldn't do anything after updating bios provided by official hp page. I know that there is a way to enter into bios recovery, but my tablet doesn't have keyboard. Please provide me the solution.

Hey,
I am having the same problem, I was updating my bios.. followed all directions which is necessary to update them.
And then when it was almost ready it said "Bios update is not responding" so I waited... and waited because I did not want to abort it but then Vista aborted it for me.
Well at first it did not seem to be a problem but then I noticed that I could not click anything (was still in windows @ that time did not reboot yet) then I wanted to reboot but nothing worked.. Pressing off button for a time to shut down did not work.. So eventually power was out. And it shut down.
So I hooked it up again but nothing happened. Pressing the "on" button made it start.. The DVD-drive loaded for a second but... that is it just a black screen :S
Going to bring it back to the shop tomorrow.

As the title says, I've got this unwanted black screen after updating BIOS with update utility from here http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/downloads/ds037429
What I've tried :
- power / battery out, pressing power button several times for short / long and longer time
- BIOS battery out for about half an hour
- wincrisis with USB bootable stick and BIOS extracted from BIOS update utility from support.lenovo
- different combinations of keys such as : FN + B / F / R +/- win key
What should I do next except finding a hammer ?

Toshiba won't boot after Toshiba BIOS update

My Satellite P755 would not boot immediately after I did the updates that the Toshiba update software recommended I do. It still would not boot after going through the entire recovery process. At this point I'm thinking it must be a hardware failure so I called toshiba.
They told me it would be $49.99 for telephone tech support to fix the issue but that would be refunded if it was determined to be a hardware issue. The tech had me unplug the power, remove the battery and hold the power button down for 30 seconds (apparently this must remove the incorrect bios update or something). After putting the battery back and plugging back in the recovery process worked and it now boots again.
I'm happy this worked but a little frustrated that I paid $49.99 to fix an issue that was not caused by me, it was caused by the Toshiba update software suggesting and installing an incorrect BIOS update, which was confirmed by the technician that I spoke with. After talking to a rep and a supervisor I was denied a refund. I've lost time, money, and data over this issue.
The tech also told me I should call Toshiba anytime I update software to make sure it will work with my computer, even if it's an update recommended by the Toshiba update software.

Thanks to the original poster. I bought a laptop and I did the Bio update. I had an issue on my old laptop and i took out the power supply and that worked.
Now with this one after the update it would not turn on or do anything. I could not get to the bios or nothing as it was dead for the most part. It would trun on for a few seconds and I panicked as this is a lot of money to spend of a dead computer.
I have limited income and I was beside myself. I thought after taking the battery out and putting it back it continued to do it that it was dead. I picked me up and did a search on the web and eventually found this thread. I did what the oriingal poster did. I think leaving the battery out so it resets is the primary issue. I did both the on button in case. Yeah I know it don't make sense but I did it.
It is now working. It booted up and I am playing a CD in it.
My other laptop basically in direcly was stolen. Well not quite. I loaned it to my son and the car he had it in got impounded. I had my info on it so it could be returned but it was never retruned. I would like it back as it was realiable but it had the same issue to turn on at one point. Battery taken out fixed it.
I don't think I am going to do any more bios updates on it. I hope there is no more of them. I am not sure if it will shut off and power up right but since it is working now for the last five minutes It is ok. I am playing a CD on it.
thanks to the poster of this thread. You save me and my laptop. I love it.
I did read bad reviews of it as well as good. It is companies are doing anything to make a profit. It is why I stand for the resource based economy where planned obsolence will be history.
HUGS TO YOU GUYS.

Satelite P300 does not boot after failed Bios update

Hi everyone,
I have tried to update the bios of a P300 using this :
18/03/10
BIOS Update
Toshiba Windows 7 - 32 Bit 4.20-WIN32 World Wide
Which I downloaded from here: http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK after entering my laptops specifications.
The flash process hanged during the update and the laptop became unbootable, blank screen when powering on and nothing else...
I tried using the Phoenix Emergency Crisis application, created a floppy disk with the Bios image file that I have earlier downloaded but managed nothing.
The USB floppy driver access the floppy when entering the recovery mode, I hear some beeps that indicate that a process takes places, but when everything stops and reboot...the problem remains.
-Has anyone got a clue what to do next?
-Is the warranty void after a bios update attempt?
Thank you for yor time.

Hi buddy,
You should check the forum content or with other words, use the forum search firstly before you ask something. Failed BIOS update is not unusual and can happen always. The forum contains already a lot threads about this and the only solution is contacting an ASP. The guys have professional tools to recover it.
The same question was asked here:

Pt880 Neo will not boot. Help please

Here is my setup. I just picked up a brand new msi pt880 neo series and a p4. 2.8 fsb800/1mbcache.
I was current using a ati 9800 pro and crucial 512 pc3200 ram. i installed two maxtor 160g hd and i was going to run raid in a pci slot raid controller. so far i know the ram works and the video card and the one of the hd. My power supply supports up to 400watts. I have a btc dvd burner, floppy and a liteon dvd rom. im also running 4 fans.
My problem is that when i turn it on, it powers up but nothing else works. On the D-bracket 2 i get 4 red lights lite up and nothing else.
Im stuck and not sure what to do now? Is it my mb or chip or a combination of things? Thank you very much for your time.

Heya,-
Sounds interesting enough to me aswell... I had the same problems with my Mobo too... But it turned out to be the CPU. Intel has release some 'C' versions of that 2.8GHz CPU, which might be some scaled-down Extreme Edition CPU's or even a down-graded Prescott CPU.
So what I needed for my mobo to get it work was:
- Updated BIOS version
- Another CPU (working) to get the new BIOS version on my mobo...
The shop that helped me, gave me some information from Intel. You can check your exact type of CPU in their website... They gave me the link to the Intel P4 CPU Specification Update. And in that document on page 17 I found out that my CPU with package ID: SL6Z5 is in fact a down-graded Extreme Edition CPU, and should have been sold as a tray-CPU, and not as a boxed CPU... DAMN INTEL!... But anyway, they gave me a headache and some nights of incredible sleeplessness...
Just for your information... This is how I found out that it was my CPU causing all this problem:
- Assemble the system with only mainboard and PSU (no memory, no vga, no keyboard)
- Connect the CPU fan to see if the system will start running
- Turn-on the system and see if the CPU fan will keep running
- Shut down the system
- Insert the CPU
- Turn-on the system again... If it fails on your CPU, it should shutdown after 5 seconds...
> To find out if it's related to any of your other peripherals, insert all the things step by step (first memory, then vga, etc...) and see if your system will fail on any of these peripherals.
It just might turn out to be a harddisk that's drawing too much current from your power-supply....
ANyway, just to share some thoughts! Good luck!

Can not access BIOS after update BIOS

Ask google and try anyway but not work
- Press ThinkVantage, Press F1, Press Fn+F1
- Power off, unplug AC, unplug battery, wait 15 miniute, try all again
- Try to update BIOS again

That is really weird.
When you are in Windows, can you test and see if the F1 key is working? If it is working. Shut down the laptop then boot it back up. At the Thinkpad screen, keep spamming the F1 key and see if you are able to boot into BIOS.

HELP! Problem after updating BIOS of my Lenovo ideapad S10-3S

I'm hoping somebody will help me out of this nightmare. Cause i'm searching and searching across the net for an answer for this the whole day and i didn't find any accurate solutions for this.
Well to start, i just updated my laptop's BIOS two days ago because i just saw on lenovo's website that there is an update file for the BIOS and I rapidly DL it and installed as per instruction, it was running fine after that but i just noticed that the system start up and even shutdown takes centuries to finish. Then i turned it on sleep having the screen facedown to the keyboard, and noticeably the 4 indicator lights are still lighted up for approximately 5mins before the laptop totally turned to sleep mode. Then I turned it on at the evening and voila! It is not booting up to the log in screen, it just gives me a background wallpaper for the log in screen without the avatar box and password in put box. After the BIOS screen loads, it offers me two options:
(1) Launch Startup Repair [recommended as it says]
(2) Start windows normally
I tried both but still having the same result. And one option that i tried is to reformat the laptop instead because onekey recovery is also not a dependable solution. But lo and behold!!! It also stuck into a part where it says "starting up the setup".
I really don't know what to do now!!! Please Lenovo team help me! I'm kinda smash the screen here! Its just that BIOS update is the Major update in my laptop after 4yrs of purchase. Help!

Hi buddy,
This stop code means you are using a wrong SATA controller driver. For XP installation you have to integrate the SATA driver before you can install XP. There are a lot of threads about this problem here in forum.
For Intel chipset you have to download Intel Storage Manager from official Toshiba website and follow the instructions here to reinstall Windows with correct SATA drivers:

Alternative follow the instructions posted by peterk_1. Setting IDE mode instead AHCI in BIOS will also help :)

PT880 Neo-FSR not booting from SATA device

Hi everybody!
MSI PT880 Neo-FSR http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=608
As read on the topic subject, I'm having trouble trying to boot up using my new SATA DVD-RW. This device works perfect while running Windows XP on my PC, but when I try to boot from it, I simply can't.
My PT880 Neo-FSR mobo is running the latest avalaible BIOS version (2.0) and Internal SATA controller and SATA boot ROM function are enabled. Looking inside the booting options, I just can't set my SATA DVD-RW as a valid device for booting up (I only see my IDE HDDs, FDD and LAN as booting options).
This is my first time triying to boot up from this SATA device and the first time I realized that I can actually use it for anything but booting, which is so weird! I even tried installing this device on my brother's PC and booted up succesfully there, so my mobo is the problem here.
If you're asking yourselves how I installed Win XP on this PC with no CD/DVD booting: My former IDE DVD-RW is now my sister's, so I kept previously instalation and just changed devices.
I need to run some utlities from a boot-CD and re-install Windows on this PC real soon, so I'd appreciate some help.
P.S. I tried to do my best with my 'rusty' English, so I hope you could fully understad what I've written above.

Quote from: Henry on 03-September-08, 14:26:24
Are you saying it does work but you simply can't boot from it? Have you tried by using the F11 boot menu?
Yes! This device has been working great, but the only problem I get is when I try to use it for booting.
I alredy tried using the F11 boot menu and nothing happened... It's so weird!

[SOLVED] P67A-GD65 mainboard missing Intel RAID Rom after updating BIOS

I use 2 HDDs to build a RAID 0 array using Intel P67 RAID driver. I've just updated the BIOS to the 1.I version, and after that my computer can't boot up, showing the message "Missing Operating System". I booted into DOS and failed to read my hard disk, combining with that the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Option ROM didn't show up during the POST (which prompts me to press Ctrl-I to enter the RAID configuration before I updated the BIOS), I think it's the Intel RAID driver's problem. However, the Marvell RAID's prompt still shows, so the Marvell RAID should still work well. I encountered the same problem the last time I updated the BIOS, but I forgot how I got it well again... Please help. Thanks a lot!
I didn't noticed that my BIOS settings had been reset after I updated the BIOS, so I should manually changed the SATA mode to RAID. I was required to run a system recovery after I set the SATA mode back to RAID since the system failed to load, and Windows re-installed the USB3.0 driver after the first boot after the update (I don't know why this is). And the problem solved. Hope this is helpful to guys have similar problem as me.

Please post the full system specs.
