Thinkcentre M57 dead after changing settings in BIOS

Hello,
I have am M57 tower that has been running great for many years but now all of a sudden after changing a few settings in BIOS (I did not upgrade the bios) all I can get the machine to do is power cycle over and over again with fans at full speed. I attempted the steps here http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/A-M-and-Edge-Series-ThinkCentre/M57-BIOS-Update-Failure/td-p/55840 but no luck. I did not change any hardware recently. I have also removed the descrete video card in it but there is no difference. When I attempt to recover the BIOS via a usb desette drive it beeps once then reads the disk for about 5 to 10 seconds with the fans at full speed. Any help would be appreshiated. I never knew you could brick a system by changing settings.

Odd that you followed procedure and that still didn't do it. Change the coin battery on the motherboard, restart pressing F1. Once into the BIOs with a new battery installed, go to the last page and select Load Default Settings, and then select F10 to Save Changes and exit. If all this was caused by a weak battery, this should fix it.
You can find coin batteries (CR2032) at Home Depot or even Walmart.

HT6114 Reboot loop after 10.9.2 upgrade

My 2009 (dual-quad) Mac Pro 4,1 is now stuck in a reboot loop after upgrading from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2.
//edit: I realized there wasn't a question: What is wrong with my computer and how do I fix it?
So far I have tried:
* Repairing the disk
* Repairing permissions
* Zapping the NVRAM/PRAM
* Resetting SMC
* Copying BootCache.playlist from a backup to /var/db
Other things to note about my setup:
In addition to the original hard drive, I installed a 4tb drive from which I have been working with since June. It is the 4tb drive that has 10.9.2 installed. The original 650gb still has 10.8.4 installed and all my original data pre-June.
Also installed is a VisionTek Radeon 7870 video card which powers my numerous monitors. I do not recall having to install anything extra, or modify any settings to get it to work. The only downside is you can't really see anything when booting.
In addition to the VisionTek card I also have one of the factory Geforce 120 cards installed. Using another monitor attached to that card I've been able to monitor the boot process using the command-v verbose output.
Of notable interest I get the dreaded "BootCache: unable to open /var/db/BootCache.playlist : 2" error, along with a few SMC errors. If these are important I can attach pictures taken of the boot process.
I am able to zap the NVRAM and boot the old 10.8.4 650gb drive. It loads fine. 10.9.2 will not boot into safe mode, but will boot into recovery mode.
As a final attempt to fix the BootCache error I copied it from a Time Machine backup into /var/db/ ensuring the correct permissions were set. After rebooting the file is deleted again.
I would greatly appreciate any help on this issue as this is my work computer. I do have full backups via Time Machine so I can reinstall, but I'm hoping there's another solution.

I just started a discussiion related to this topic in "Mac Pro."
https://discussions.apple.com/message/25019730#25019730
" I have a 2009 dual quad core Mac Pro (4.1) with an upgraded Radeon 7950 GPU. I use a 30" Apple Cinema display (DVI) and a 27" LED Cinema Display (Display Port). After updating to 10.9.2, the Mac would not boot, but went on a continuous re-boot cycle every 5-10 minutes without a flicker of life in either display. I unplugged both displays and the Mac booted. I could log in remotely from my laptop. I then attached the 30" Cinema Display into the DVI port and the Mac booted normally."

Random iPhone crashes and reboot loop after iOS 7 upgrade

Hi all
Since I upgraded my iPhone to iOS 7, I suffer from random crashes/resets, where my iPhone reboots and enters a reboot loop (Apple logo, black screen, reboot, Apple logo, black screen, reboot, etc) that I can only exit by restoring the device (resetting doesn't help).
Some more information
a) The device: iPhone 4, 32 GB, has never been jailbroken, and has never shown any similar issues before.
b) The crashes/reboots: I haven't been able yet to find a pattern when and why they happen. I had reboots when searching for an app, when pluging in the wall charger, when entering the access code, and even when doing nothing at all (iPhone in my pocket). The only constant is the reboot loop after the crash.
c) What I tried so far: I restored the device several times, using normal restore (with the iTunes logo) and DFU mode (black screen). After that, I recovered from a recent backup (takes some hours), and everything is ok again - for some hours, until the next crash and reboot loop. I also set up the device as a new phone, and there it seems stable, so I exclude a hardware issue. I tried quite a few of the advices that I found when googling for reboot loops: reset all settings (this led to an another immediate crash and reboot loop), disable app background refresh, etc.
I've been using this device for my daily business. With the current instability (and the couple of hours it takes to bring it back to life again), it became more or less useless. I wish I could downgrade again (I know that I can't). My assumption is that either iOS 7, or some incompatible app or some corrupt setting is causing this situation. But I don't know how to proceed to isolate and eliminate the issue. I really would like to avoid setting up everything from scratch again.
Any advice is greatly appreciated!

All,
First of all, sorry for my half-finished post above. While typing, I was interrupted, and by reflex I hit CMD-S. Unfortunately, the stupid interface of Apple's support website interpreted that as a submit command. I tried to complete my text with the update function, but when finally hitting the submit button, I got an error message, and all my updated text was gone... No way to bring it back, and also no way to delete the half-baked posting. Quite frustrating.
Now, to complete what I started above:
In my case, the problem definitely had something to do with the springboard process (an iOS system 'app' that manages the iOS homescreens) and the watchdog process (another iOS system 'app' that monitors certain things on your phone and that can initiate a restart when it thinks the phone is frozen). In the folder '/Users/<your account>/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/<your phone>' I could see what caused my crashes; they were all 'stack+SpringBoard' and the reason in these crash log files was 'Watchdog timeout'.
The following two forum posts helped me:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1676330?start=30&tstart=0
https://discussions.apple.com/message/20794982#20794982
I'm quite sure that my issues had to do with the 'application map' that is mentioned in the above posts. So far, Ive been thinking that it was just too large (as in the case of Andi1996 [second link above]), but jmbladen's observation seems not to support this. So, the absolute number might not the source of the problem, but I still assume that something went wrong with my application map during the upgrade from iOS6 to iOS7. I remember having stability problems before, as soon as all my 10 home screens were full of apps and newly downloaded apps would generate additional pages (only visible via iTunes). Considering that there are some fundamental changes to how we can organize apps within folders in iOS 7, it can well be that the springboard process just wasn't able to cope with my application map correctly within the 120 seconds before the watchdog process restarts the phone. My massive cleanup action must have fixed this somehow.
@jmbladen: I'm only using iCloud for the 'find my phone' functionality, so all the backup & recovery was done via iTunes from my local harddisk. And there was no temporal pattern for my crashes before. You might suffer from the same symptoms, but probably not because of the same cause.
My advice for anyone affected by random crashes and a reboot loop is to check out the directory with the CrashReporter logs mentioned above to find out what app or process causes the crash. If it's the springboard and watchdog problem, then you should try to clean up your home screens (from iTunes). Maybe the absolute number of apps is not that important, but make sure that you reduce the number of screens. And then sync and backup before you start using the phone again. In my case it helped.
Hope this helps someone else too.
P.S. Once you know the right keywords to search for, you find forum postings back to 2008 / iOS 2 describing exactly the same problem. This reboot loop is a very nasty issue, and it is hard to understand that Apple still hasn't been able to address this, or at least provide some better help on how to get out of it again.

[P67a-GD65] [Ivy] Infinite reboot loop after flash

MSIHQ: Information detected by MSIHQ Tool ver: 1.25g
MSIHQ: Report generated in Tue 01/01/2013 at 13:31:41.33
Mainboard: P67A-GD65 (MS-7681) - CPU i5-3570K
PCB Version: 2.0
BIOS Version: V4.2
BIOS Date: 7/16/2012
Attempted to upgrade to https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.0
Due to the inability to hold any overclocks with any voltage besides auto, and because the Windows MSI control center wouldn't keep settings on startup.
Installed the forum flash tool on a USB drive and it wasn't bootable.
Tried with another flash drive and it wasn't bootable.
Used the on-BIOS tool to flash the BIOS
Flashed, rebooted, and began reboot looping.
Cleared CMOS - nope
Removed battery and cleared CMOS - nope
Removed all but one stick of RAM - nope
Is it bricked? If so, how do I get a replacement/repair?
Edit, was perusing the forums and found this:
Forum flasher defaults to looking for zip files, if you pick rar from the drop down it should accept the file just fine, if you don't use method 1 you won't get the ME flashed.
It's lovely that that's documented and pointed out in the flashing tool's post, and it's rather odd that all of the BIOSes are saved in .rar archives if the flasher looks for .zip. I used method 2.

Quote from: Svet on 02-January-13, 04:35:53
You should use "Fix My USB key" Tool's option 1st before prepare the stick if you having troubles booting from the USB key.
I realized that after the fact.
have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<< with power cord removed and leave 1 memory stick only in 1st DIMM close to CPU socket?
I just did that, and it unfortunately continues to loop.
I guess I'll get it packaged up and into the mail. Thanks for the help guys.
When I do get it fixed, what BIOS will it come with?

MSI z77a-G45 Infinite Reboot Loop

Hello,
Here are my system specs:
Core i5 3570K
Hyper212 Plus
Intel 330 180 GB SSD (with OS on it)
WD 1TB Black (for data)
MSI z77a-G45 motherboard
G.Skill Ripjaws 8 GB RAM
EVGA GTX 660 FTW Signature 2
Corsair TX650m PSU
Lite-on iHAS124-04 Optical DVD Drive
Corsair 200R case
I should mention the following up front: I don't know what is causing my problem, but my guess is it's either PSU or motherboard.
Nothing in my system is overclocked (except for the fact that my GTX 660 card comes factory OC'd). Here is my issue. Yesterday, I shut down my computer and everything was normal. I didn't change anything at all. Today in the evening, I tried to power on my computer, and it simply goes into an infinite reboot loop. I don't see anything on the monitor, nothing comes up. The computer powers on for about 10 seconds, and then powers off for about 5-6 seconds, and it keeps repeating this process. Actually getting this process to stop is a bit tricky (I think I have to hold down the power button for several seconds when the computer is off). Does anyone have any ideas? I've tried a few things, like checking to make sure the 8 pin and 24 pin cables are tight. I've tried resetting CMOS and taking out the CMOS battery. Ideas? Thank you.

Hi guys. I know this thread is 2 and a half months old but I need to find a solution to this problem. It may have been better to start a new thread, excuse me for not doing it as my problem is quite similar.
Well, my situation is a bit different and I will explain it shortly but first I'll give you my PC specs.
MSI Z77A-G45
Intel i5-3570
Corsair DDR3 8GB (2x4)Kit 1600MHz Vengeance
Nvidia GeForce 9800GT
So when I assembled my PC I put one RAM in DIMM2 and the other in DIMM4. This led to an infinite reboot loop. The fans and the leds were working but nothing was displayed on the screen. After doing some tests removing and inserting again the RAMs with different combinations I came to the conclusion that this infinite reboot loop is occurring when a RAM is inserted either in DIMM1 or DIMM2. My PC works fine if I connect the RAMs in DIMM3 and DIMM4 but not with the DIMM1-DIMM3, DIMM1-DIMM4, DIMM2-DIMM3, DIMM2-DIMM4 combinations.
At first I thought one of my RAMs might be corrupt but after the tests I see that both work fine and I'm starting to believe that the Motherboard has the problem.
Any ideas? This is really frustrating.

PRS-T1 stuck in infinite reboot loop after failed firmware update

Hi,
I tried to update the firmware, but failed when updating to version 1.0.07.05070. Tried to 2 times. The first time it failed I simply tried again. The second time, it took a lot longer to reach the failed to update message, but it did cause the ereader to reboot.
Now, it's stuck in an infinite reboot loop on the "Opening book" page. The progress bar on that page stays completely empty, lasts for about 30 seconds, and reboots again. This will go one until the battery is dead or indefinitely if plugged in.
I have tried pressing the Home + Menu buttons, but they seem to have no effect.
Please advise if there is anything I can try to revive it?
Thanks in advanced.
David
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Kiroken,
Here is what I have observed:
- After a hard boot (reset + power button during 3+ seconds), if I don't do anything, it will reboot every ~30seconds.
- If I press and hold the Home and Menu buttons, no effect. The same as if I didn't press anything.
- If I press the Forward + Back buttons (2 & 4), it does not reboot after 30 seconds. Instead, the orange light on the power button blink every ~2-3 seconds.
- Any other key combinations that I have tried have no effect.
I have tried with and without several rescue sdcard. No difference. No improvement. In every case, the computer never sees the reader. If plugged into the power outlet, it seems like the battery charges alright. It does not appear to charge if plugged into USB port.
That's all I know. If I can't fix it, I might be forced to turn it into a coaster or maybe a cutting board for the kitchen.

Tour in Reboot Loop after Installing new Messenger

Hi all,
A couple of weeks ago I got a message saying there was a new version of messenger available, so of course I upgraded. After install it wanted a reboot so I did, but the phone never came back. It would start to boot for a couple of minutes but never make it to the desktop. I tried a battery pull with no change.
I ended up reloading the OS (latest Verizon 4.7 release) and all my apps and the phone was fine.
Today I got a message saying, of course, "a new version of messenger is available..." so guess what I did?!?! Yep, and bricked the phone again, it's just in a reboot loop. No error messages, it just constantly reboots without ever making it to the desktop.
I did some searching but haven't found much on this exact problem. Anybody have any ideas? I guess for now I will just avoid the new messenger as I don't really use it that much, but it would be nice if it worked.
TIA

You don't have to have it (the 5.0.0.57 version of BBMessenger) loaded, if you used it much you would see the advantages.
But, If you don't use it, don't worry.
I think there is likely some third party app conflcting with you, but that is another whole long drawn out search .

IPod touch 4g 6.1.6 stuck in reboot loop after trying to restore

My ipod touch 4g has a really bad battery and only works if you have it plugged in and charging, but I've never had this problem before. I unplugged it from where it was charging and it died, of course. But when I plugged it into my computer to sync it, it started an endless reboot loop with the apple logo. I tried putting it into dfu mode and restoring it, I've tried doing it on three other macs, and the I've let the battery drain since it dies when I unplug it. Still dont know what the problem is. I cant take it to apple cause I dont have apple care on it and they cant help because the battery doesnt work anyway. Help is much appriciated.

See if y misse anything here:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. You do not need AppleCare and it is free.

Reboot loop after software update

My phone is also in constant reboot loop since the update. I tried deleting app after app with no luck. What is going on? Is there anything I can do? I also have tried the master reset, I highlighted recovery pressed the volume up and it went into reboot loop mode again. Any suggestions??

I know its frustrating to have a phone that is rebooting constantly Jimlpn. I'm sorry the steps provided in the other thread did not work. Is your phone damaged? Replacing the phone may be the next step. You can also take your phone to a corporate store location for a hands on evaluation. Is your phone under the 1year manufactures warranty and do you have insurance?

Apple TV 2 Reboot Loop After iOS 5 upgrade.

OK, here's the deal... I upgraded to iOS 5 on my Apple TV 2 and now all it does is reboot. It never makes it to the menu, just starts up, shows busy icon and after a minute reboots again. Have tried restarting with menu + down and unplugging overnight and plugging back in. I do not have a Windows of Mac Machine (ie no iTunes). How can I resolve this issue so I can start enjoying my Apple TV 2 again?

Thanks for the answer but I had already read that when I researched before posting a question. I can buy the cable but I'm not going to buy an operating system just so I can install iTunes which is what the instructions you linked to said to do. I was looking for a solution either via remote control commands to the AppleTV device or a solution of plugging in the AppleTV to Ubuntu to cause the reboots to stop. I guess since I'm not getting any other replies, it's just not possible which makes for a bummed out Apple Customer. The only reason I bought the AppleTV over the Roku was because I already had an iPod Touch to connect with it and I thought they had better quality control. I guess I made the wrong choice. Thanks for trying to help anyway.

MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) Boot loop after BIOS update

Hi,
I've just updated my BIOS to 7681v42 from an earlier version (can't remember which one exactly) and after the update I am stuck in a boot loop. The computer turns on for about 5 seconds or so and then switches back off, the CPU fan, motherboard fan & video card fan spin for a few seconds then power is cut.
I've tried booting up with nothing else connected (no vga, memory, hdd, empty USB slots) to no avail. I have tried resetting the CMOS as well but I don't get any further than the reset loop.
Can anyone suggest something? Is there any way to force the MB to use the backup BIOS?
Thanks in advance.

You can try doing this again with a single stick of ram or some different ram, but more than likely you will need to rma the board for re-flashing.

IPod Touch 4th gen stuck in reboot loop after attempting to update to iOS 6.1.5

Hi.
I have my iPod Touch 4th Gen (iOS 6.1.3)....I plugged it into my computer, it said there was a software update available. I click ok, it goes through all of it's stuff, gets up to Verifying update with Apple, and then I get an error message.
"The iPod 'iPod Touch 4' could not be restored. It is not eligible for the requested build."
I know this has something to do with Apple not signing the package, but I got iOS 7.0.4 on my iPhone today and it worked fine.
Thanks for all of your guys' help,
