  • X99A SLI plus and M.2 not showing up in the BIOS

    I just put together my new computer and I'm having trouble with the BIOS settings. When I attempt to set the M.2 as the primary boot drive it doesn't show up as an option. In the system status screen the M.2 / SATA port 5 is saying not present. I verified the SSD I have is on the supported list for this motherboard and have tried removing and reinstalling the drive with no success. Currently the drive shows up in windows when booting off a different hard drive. Does anyone have any idea what is going on with my build?
    X99A SLI PLUS (CLICK 4 BIOS v1.7)
    Intel i7-5820K
    Corsair Vengeance DDR4 4x8GB @ 2666MHZ
    Kingston HyperX Predator SHPM2280P2 240GB (Drive in question)
    Evea 660 (going to be replaced when the 980 arrives)
    BIOS settings:
    Peg 1-2 Auto
    M.2 Source link in auto
    M.2 PCH strap in M.2 PCH PCIe

    Windows doesn't recognize it as a bootable drive so it can't be installed on it currently.
    Under the BBS section in the BIOS only the other three SATA drives are showing up, not the M2.
    I think the BIOS is just not recognizing that there is a drive in the M2 slot for some reason although it is recognized by windows when I boot using a SATA drive.

    If it stucks on that one , doesn't that mean that it's the next one in the process that fails ?
    Funny u should mention that, I was thinking about that a while back, particularly when setting up stickies. Saw nothing to support my logic & so went back to simlpler things like the meaning of life.
    My Thoughts ended up as:-
    1) but on the basis the system, on failing the stage, will be in various degrees of instability, it can't reliably be expected to feed back. Therefore 2)
    2) Logically the system presets LED state for the next stage on completion of the previous stage. If the next stage fails the Led bracket is correct about the failing stage.

  • Starting BIOS first time after build with X99S Sli plus

    Is there a tutorial for the basic BIOS set up for this mobo?  I want to just set the computer to boot up tfrom my ssd.  Is there anything else I have to do in BIOS  before I load Windows 8.1?  I don't want to get into overclocking, just the basics.  Should I try to connect the computer to the internet right after I change the boot drive priority in BIOS? I'm thinking automatic updates to the BIOS via The Web.

    If you mean using Live Update to flash your bios, be sure you updated to the latest Live Update version, and before flash the bios, be sure the bios does for your motherboard

  • P35 Neo2-FIR New Build Problems

    Hi there,
    Just finished new build (specs below), but get the full row of red LEDs on power up. Cycles through this endlessly. Cleared CMOS to no effect.
    No idea what BIOS I have as system has never been on.
    Any ideas?

    Q9300

    Corsair HX520W PSU
    TIA

    The lights are not the final word as I have gotten that indication when my video card was not properly seated on an other board even tho it was supposed to mean processor failure for that board too.  Maybe the vendor of the board can lend you an other cpu to flash bios.  An other alternative would be to RMA for reflash if possible once you are sure it's the processor and the bios.
    Presumably Balloonshark has the same processor.  Good luck to both of you.  Let us know how it works out.

    Just to recap. 1 ram stick is working in dimm 1. 2 sticks are working in dimm 1 and dimm 5 together. When i put the other two sticks in dimm 5 and dimm 7 i get no POST. I observe the cpu pins. Everything seems good. My friend as the exact same motherboard, processor and ram kit and the ram works. He has a Thermaltake power supply 875watts. So can the power supply we not enough ?
    How did you manage to put 2 sticks in slot 5? 
    We already know one stick in slot 1 works.
    We also know 2 sticks in slots 1 and 5 work.
    And we even know that all 4 sticks in slots 1 3 5 and 7 do not work.
    Now try to focus.
    Take out all memory sticks.
    Put one known good stick (that works in slot 1 or 5) and put it in slot 3. Does this work?
    Now move the memory stick from slot 3 to slot 7. Does this work?

  • New Build Problem

    A couple of weeks ago I got around to building a new rig with a 990X, Gigabyte Geurilla mo-board (the gamers sure are driving the desktop industry!), 24Gbs of GSkill Ram, 1k Watt PS, & a GTX-580. The other components don't matter at this point, because right now, when I power up the computer it runs for 2 secs. shuts down for 2 secs. fires back up for 2 secs, etc. I have swapped out power supplies, Ram, video cards, re-seated the CPU, and jumper-reset the BIOS. Clearly the problem lies within the moboard or CPU, but I'm open to any last ditch efforts before bringing on a 3rd party to get this thing running. I don't want to order a replacement CPU w/o knowing that that is, indeed the culprit. Most of the components were brand new from New Egg, except for the video card and PS, both of which came from an operational machine (and both were swapped out anyway to rule them out as the cause). So, the reason I'm posting this is because once before I had this same problem with my general purpose computer, that had been in operation for a couple of years and I posted this problem and Colin, from Brougham Media, suggested replacing the battery on the moboard. I was very skeptical, but it was the least expensive option for trying to diagnose the problem and just like all of his other solutions, it worked! Didn't work this time around, being that the moboard is brand new.
       So, would you recommend shipping back the moboard to Gigabyte for repair or would it be safe to order a replacement from New Egg, hoping that that's the most likely culprit and send the board I have now back to New Egg as defective? I'm hoping there's something you can suggest I try before going to either of those lengths.

    Problem solved. I called a local computer repair store, Intrex Computers, and described the problem. Told the guy all the steps I'd taken to diagnose. His response was, "Sounds like you have a short underneath the motherboard." I told him I had indeed gone from one Gigabyte model motherboard to another and needed to add some standoffs, but I was quite sure I didn't need to move any of the existing ones. When I asked him about the possibility of a bad motherboard he said that's extremely rare, so I decided to pull the moboard to see if I was dense enough to leave an old standoff. So I pull the board and sure enough found 10 standoffs where they were supposed to be. "Sure glad I'm not that dumb" I thought, though admittedly I was so anxious to put this time-consuming problem behind me, I was willing to embrace ignorance, which I've been forced to do thousands of times before if it meant finding the problem. So I go to put the motherboard back in and low and behold there's an errant screw, which was wedged in a corner near the motherboard, but not under it. Sooooo, let's just say that I didn't even catch that screw when I pulled the moboard the first time to reseat the CPU. But there's nothing else to explain the problem. The Intrex tech said it sounded like a short, and I found a loose screw (no snide comments, please. I've already thought of them!). Wow, when I was young, I was thrilled when my mother told me that I had IQ. I now have come to realize that she never said how much. Or in my case, how little!

  • New Build, problems with H61M-P32/W8

    I am putting together a small micro atx build consisting of the following.
    MSI H61M-P32 motherboard
    Intel G2030 3 ghz cpu
    2 gb of DDR3 ram
    EVGA GTX 650
    80 gb hard drve
    lg cd/dvd drive
    PCI-E to usb 2.0 card
    Here is my issues, when i hook up just the mobo with the video card the computer will turn on and run fine till its gets to the point where it doesnt detect a hdd and cant move forward. However when i plug power into anything else (hdd, cd drive, pci-e card) the computer wont turn on or boot, the fans just spin for a sec then stop. I know its not a sata problem as it does this with or without sata cables attached to the drives. Its simply when i apply power to the drives it does this.
    I ruled out it being a  power supply issue as i tried 3 different power supplies, a 385 watt, a 430 watt, and finally an 850 watt.
    Any ideas before i call msi to RMA the board?
    Im banging my head against a wall trying to figure this out.

    Did you try clear CMOS and boot with only one RAM stick?
    Do you have other HDD to try?

    If you didn't attach the power cable to the sata HDD, it won't have function even you connect the sata cable.

    All assembled and checked. On firing up neither the dvd drive or hard drive are recognised by the BIOS.
    I have installed drives before, so I don't think its anything obvious?
    Help please Sebastian

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. After a nights sleep, rechecked conections and discovered I hadn't quite pushed home the Ide ribbon connecter for the DVD into the mobo!
    So the continuing saga....
    Started to Install Win XP Home..
    Installed Promise376 Serial ATA Driver floppy from F6 prompt.
    It installed the fasttx2K driver
    When setup asked for Win 98 CD it then came up with the following:
    Partitioning disk
    0 MB Disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on fasttx2K
    The problem caused by the following file: setupdd.sys
    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
    setupdd.sys - Address F84C5F3E base at F84A1000, Date stamp 3d6dd67f
    I used the Maxtor Powermax v4.06 to check for the hard disk and it couldn't find it.
    Rechecked the settings and connections. Serial ATA cable attached to primary SATA conector. power supply plugged in and hard disk buzzing. No jumpers installed.
    I havent set up the array settings  at start of bootup as I only have one hard disk.

  • New builds - problems solved?

    I had to ask for a refund for my MBP after I got a bad replacement two weeks ago. Unfortuantely I needed a Mac notebook for an assignment and couldn't wait another 10 days for yet another replacement. I then bought a MacBook from a local dealer. That one is flawless so far (knock on wood) but the small screen is turning out to be a problem for me - I do lots of photo editing on the road without access to a larger screen.
    My question now is: have the main issues been fixed now? I don't really mind the whine too much, I'm rather talking about the more serious issues like random shutdowns and superdrive problems.
    iMac 20" Intel Core Duo   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Yeah, I think so...
    I have a week 22 is mine's nearly perfect...
    I've heard that people are getting week 23s and 24s that are flawless.
    If you buy them online, apparently they're better because you get newer ones.
