P67A-GD53 won't boot with new gfx card.

My father in law gave me his HD 7770 gfx card, but when I put it in my system the pc no longer loads up. All the fans come on etc but there is no beeps or anything on the screen. I did plug the power into the gfx card and my PSU is 750w. I updated the ...

They are both starting + fan + green light
I was using 1 of them 5 months ago i kept it in a secure package
Thanks i think i have to buy a new card then

Won't boot with new graphics card

Hi. I have a Pavilion P7-1058uk with a Cleveland-GL8 motherboard and onboard graphics.
I bought a new monitor which has 2560x1440 resolution, greather than the onboard graphics can cope with, so have tried to upgrade with a Gigabyte GT630 card.
When I startup, I now get to the blue HP screen but no further. If I startup with F10 or ESC pressed, I get to a black screen instead. Either way, I am invited to press Esc to enter startup but pressing the key has no impact and the computer just hangs. There is a repeated cycle of very quiet clicks which sounds like the HDD drive trying to start then stopping
If I remove the graphics card and connect the monitor back to the onboard graphics then all is well again (but restricted to 1920x1080 resolution).
Perhaps stupidly I assumed it was an issue with the power supply (300W) and not enough residual oomph to run the HDD. But having upgraded that to 650W it makes no difference. I also tried downloading NVidia drivers but it won't let me install them because I can only get the computer to work without the graphics card, and Nvidia won't install because it can't detect the hardware.
Any ideas/help would be much appreciated.

OK thanks. This card doesnt require a six pin connector but it is interesting that your comment implies that those that do still take power from the motherboard but topped up with the six pin connector. As opposed to taking all power from the six pin connector and nothing from the motherboard. I am not making a statement that equates to your analogy. All cards plugged into a motherboard I/O internal slot are powered by the motherboards power distribution subsystem.
One last question - should I have uninstalled the graphics driver for the integrated graphics or is that unnecessary? I have read that the motherboard turns the integrated graphics off when it detects a dedicated card. I have not done so and am a little wary of uninstalling the existing driver in case things still dont work and it gets tricky to revert back to where I am now.
Andrew
No. You won't need to uninstall the driver for the integrated graphics. The OS will only load the driver for the graphics card when one is installed.

MacBook Pro won't boot with new hard drive, but a different MacBook Pro will

So here are the details. My friend and I both have 13-inch Mid 2010 MacBook Pro's. Same processor and specs since they were purchased at the same time, but originally had 250 GB hard drives. His hard drive failed and needed a new one. Put a 500 GB Seagate Momentus 5400.6 in his computer, and tried using a flash drive with "Install OS X Mavericks" on it to install Mavericks on his new hard drive. No matter what, it wouldn't install. I finally was able to install OS X 10.9.4 on it by connecting the new hard drive to my computer with a USB hard drive enclosure. I put the hard drive back inside his computer and it wouldn't boot (stuck on the gray screen with apple logo and a spinning wheel). I then attached to the hard drive to his computer externally with the USB enclosure, and then it booted and worked perfectly.
So, it seemed like the problem was with something inside his computer, but then I switched our drives, and that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I put my original hard drive into his computer, and his new hard drive into my computer, and they both booted and worked perfectly, so I have no idea why his computer will not boot with the new hard drive internally.
To summarize, his computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally (won't work if it's internal), and 2) my hard drive internally
but my computer boots with: 1) new hard drive connected externally AND internally, and 2) my hard drive internally.
Both hard drives have OS X 10.9.4 installed
If anyone has any idea what's causing this and how to make his computer work with the new hard drive internally that would be greatly appreciated.

So after switching the internal SATA cables from each computer, now we have
His computer, with my SATA cable:
1) Worked with every hard drive!
My computer, with his SATA cable:
1) Works with 1 TB Toshiba hard drive
2) Works with 500 GB Seagate hard drive
3) Works with my original hard drive
4) Flashing folder with question mark with his old hard drive
So it turns out you were right! Definitely had something to do with the SATA cables. But it's still strange that mine was able to boot with all the hard drives except the one that was originally in his. So it seems like it was some combination of his SATA cable and something else, since when his SATA cable was in his computer only 1 hard drive (my original) worked, and when it was in my computer, 3 hard drives worked. But at least its working, and I'm just gonna keep our SATA cables switched since that seems to work out fine

IMac G5 17" won't boot with new RAM

I tried to install 2 GB RAM into an iMac G5 17" - the computer won't boot at all. The sticks are fine (DDR PC3200 - tried them in a different computer), I reset the PRAM, all to no avail. With the original 256 MB stick, it boots fine, but with the new sticks in either slot or together, all I get is a black screen, no tone, and the fan goes on high. The firmware is up to date. What next?

I have a similar issue with my i5 since installing an additional 4GB (2x2GB) RAM from OWC. It runs fine normally, but if I ever need to reboot the iMac, it usually hangs at a black screen and never chimes. I have to pull the RAM, reset them and then it'll boot. I wonder if there is some timing tolerance problem with mixing RAM (with Apple's Samsung pair).
This morning (after installing 10.6.6) it wouldn't come out of sleep and I had to pull the RAM again. That's actually the first time it wouldn't come out of sleep.

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

P67a-GD65 won't boot with over 12 GB RAM

Hello all,
I am running the P67a-GD65 with i5 2500k, GTX 570, 1T HD and 60Gb SSD. I had 16 GB (4/4Gb) of Hyper x 1600 MHz RAM installed and it was working for a while. Then the computer shut off in the middle of a game. I realized the video card fan was not working and swapped it out. However, with the 4 (4gb) Ram installed it would start up for a few seconds (fans, lights running) then shuts off...the cycle continues but never stays on nor long enough to reach the BIOS setup. I removed one 4gb Ram and its up and running. I was able to play BF3 and I have had no issues. Is there any reason why this happens? is it a setting in BIos that I need to fix or do I just need to swap out the mobo? I know its not the RAM because I exchanged them earlier today along with the Video Card. Any ideas? Thanks in advance

Any word on when an updated BIOS will be released to fix this issue?
No, you need to check this thread regularly https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=144655.700
At this point flash back to the BIOS that did work. Use the forum flasher >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
and report your findings to MSI so that they can fix it and potentially release the BIOS that you are hoping for If everyone reports their findings then the chances are so much better to get a fix sooner rather than later.

K9a Won't Boot with both Crossfire Cards into Vista

My system boots fine with only one card but with second card and crossfire cables it posts and detects drives and goes all the way up to the boot screen and never starts windows.I have a K9A,Athlon 64 4600X2,4gb of XMS,2 Raptor X 150s,Dual Liteon DVD DL,in an Antec 900 case,with 2 ATI 1950 Pros,Aero Cool Zerodba ps 3.3v-32a ,5v-36a,12v1-20a,12v2-18a,620 w supply.I have to remove the second card and then boot into safe mode.I can then restart and then it will boot back into windows with only the one card.I upgraded the power supply from a 550 to this one thinking maybe not enough power.What do you think?

Those splitrail PSU's are known for giving problems with SLI or Crossfire cards.
Many people tried, many people failed.
The number of watts of the PSU don't matter, it's the amps you need.
If you want to be sure it's not the PSU, just try one with a whole lot of amps at a SINGLE 12V line.
PC Power & Cooling has a few nice ones, with >49A on a single line, that should do it.
Something like this one: >>link<<
However, try to do it with XP first, see what happens, Vista is filled with buggs that could give all sorts of problems.

T420 won't boot with new Samsung 840 Pro SSD

Hi all
I seem to have a failed brand new SSD. Before I RMA it, please help me spot my stupid mistake
I've just used Samsung data migration to copy my C drive to a Samsung 840 Pro 128GB SSD as usual.
I went into device driver, and set the SSD to cache writes, so the SSD was working then.
I removed the 320GB SSD, installed the SSD and rebooted.
After the BIOS flash screen, the system halts with a funny symbol on the screen and a flashing cursor.
It responds to Ctrl Alt Del. but doesn't get as far as testing the DVD drive.
After replacing the SSD with the HDD and rebooting, all is fine again ...
The BIOS shows AHCI mode, and the SSD and contents (in a USB3 drive caddy) are visible and readable.
I can't use Samsung SSD magician because it won't see the SSD over USB (clever!), so can't work out how to upgrade firmware.
This is an i5, 8GB, 320GB machine with 1600x900 screen, with XP Pro 64-bit.
What gives?? Others here have posted with working 840 Pros in a T420, so I think it's compatible.
Could this be a SATA2/SATA3 thing or AHCI? I can't see any SATA2/3 control in the BIOS - does it just auto-negotiate?
Most grateful for any suggestions and thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi woothoot,
I'm not familiar with the Samsung data migration tool. Is it actually cloning the drive, or just copying files and settings?
With ThinkPads, it is usually recommended to have the target drive installed in the laptop and the source on the external connection. Doing it the other way sometimes results in a non-booting drive.
Can you rearrange things so that you do the clone op with the SSD installed in the T420?

Imac won't boot with new hard drive installed

So I installed a new 1Tb caviar black in my PPC G5 Imac, but when I turn the computer on, I get no video, no startup chime, nothing. The power light does come on, and fans start running after a minute or so, but thats it. I can't boot from the install disc.
The computer boots up as expected when I remove the drive(startup chime, grey screen, missing folder icon).
Any suggestions to what the problem is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
-D

wierd i have similar problem. I removed HDD after crash to backup in an enclosure before reinstalling os again, put the hdd back and connected the hdd sensor backup (although i thought it was a knock sensor..doh!) . Mac wouldnt start, no screen, no chime, nada, but sleep light stays on. With PCs this usually mean CPU fault so i removed RAM to see if could get a BEEP meaning CPU is ok as it spots ram. No beep. So after checking everything i stripped out ram, hdd, airport and battery and reset PMU, tried again and now i get beep!! so cpu works. slowly adding everything back in and trying power up, last thing to go in was hdd sensor and sure enough when this is connected i reproduce the symptoms. So i disconnected the sensor and tried and i get chimes etc... Ive inspected the cable and made sure is connected right way up and still cant get to work. So it seems sensor is goosed! Debating wether to replace just yet

P7N Diamond won't boot with new Intel Q9400

Hi
I recently bought a new Intel Q9400 CPU to replace my old Q9450 that was broken and causing the computer to freeze. I tried to install the new Q9400 CPU and the computer would not boot. The red LED on the mobo was on. When I pressed the on button the fans span for about half a second but then stopped and the machine shut down. I have replaced it with a firend's E8400 and it boots fine again.
Before I installed the Q9400 I flashed the BIOS to v1.4 so I was confident that it would work but it didn't. After it didn't work I cleared the CMOS and it still didn't work.
Is there a compatibility issue with P7N Diamond and this CPU? My mobo is revision 1.0, does this make a difference? If not then I suppose the CPU must have been DOA and I'll need to RMA it.
Thanks,
Jim

Very unusual for a CPU to become "broken"--more likely the PC developed another problem? I'd test the 9450 on another system too if I were you.

Tecra a3 won't boot with new hdd

hi
tecra a3 model no PTA30E-02G008EN
i have a new 250gb hdd that has a clone of my previous (when working ok) hdd using EASEUS.
but it will not boot. after the BIOS it has a blank screen with a flashing white cursor top left.
the hdd appears ok using a usb caddy.
are there any obvious problems such as a maximum hdd size, or a BIOS update i need? Might it work if a split the 250Gb hdd into two partitions?
thanks for your help
mark

Mark, it's possible (but very unlikely) that your BIOS does not support 48-bit LBA. If that were the case, the partition would need to be less than about 137 GB. The information is in here.

Sorry, I don't know why the restored disk doesn't work. You could try to restore it to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. I'm guessing that would work.

P67A-C45 won't boot with a certain mouse

I got it two days ago, and it just wouldn't boot while Steelseries Xai mouse is connected. Before the bios screen, while those numbers appear at the lower right corner of the screen, it would just hang at "B4" and do nothing. As soon as I disconnect the device it continues booting. It's a real hassle disconnecting and connecting it after boot. I also flashed bios to 1.7 hoping it would fix it, but no improvement at all.

Hi all,
@belph, no need to thanks mate. i think internet is a wonderfull and powerfull tool where you can learn and share opinions and thoughts and forums are created to this matter, to share opinions and thought and knowledges
btw the way after hours of research and brain damage i got some kind of fix if you want to hear... so i read somewhere that an pc usb card should do the trick, so today i went to a pc shop and bought one... it was 10€ +\- here's the link (http://www.conceptronic.net/site/desktopdefault.aspx?tabindex=1&tabid=212&cid=10&gid=1030&pid=C480I5_V4).
well i got home and plug it into the motherboard, and pluged the mouse on it and i pressed the power button...and i crossfingered lol... so the boot went normal, and fast as usual when you're using another mouse and i thought well it's fixed.... but then.... it frooze...so did my veins, my heart and brain.... just before loading windows this little sucker had to freeze the OS loading just for some 10 secs max. ... but there's a point to that i think... and here's my question\doubts, the pci sound card boots, i guess, just before windows, i can hear some kind of "clicks" (btw it's an asus xonar dx), so if the usb sound card is plugged into the motherboard, and have a "slow" boot, so it's possible the usb card can also "boot" just before win loading?
Is there a way to make it "boot" earlier?
My final thoughts:
So if you want some kind of fix and make your steelseries xai to work, this is the fix for me, not mine because someone already discovered this but i didn't knew if it was successful or not...
So it's cheaper than buying a new mouse? yes it is...is it acceptable? well not for me and shouldn't be for Steelseries, but after spending almost 70€ on a new mouse, "the lost hours" reading and searching instead of enjoying my brand new pc, i think it's the only way if you want to enjoy this mouse.
the other option? well just sell it, returned to the shop if you can or just put it somewhere you can't see it :p because if you're unlucky as i was you can't properly enjoy your mouse and pc because of unplug\plug every single time you want to use your pc.....
Thanks for reading, sorry for the long post.

Help! X60 won't boot with new 320GB hard drive..

I'm trying to get a Seagate Momentus 7200.3 320GB SATA drive working with my 1706-M7M X60 thinkpad.
I've cloned my existing OEM Hitachi 80GB to the new drive using Acronis True Image. So far I've done this four times so I'm thinking the cloning is not the issue.
BIOS has been switched to Compatibility mode.
The odd thing is that the resuce and recovery partition works but not the bootable windows partition?
I can also see all the files on the new drive, both partitions are visible when it is plugged in via the USB enclosure. They look fine.
I've been trying to get it working for 3 days and I'm ready to throw the notebook out the window!
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you are willing, I would recommend that you use Easeus Disk Copy. It is a bootable CD that will clone the drive sector-to-sector.

Satellite C655-S5041 won't boot with new RAM (8GB)

I recently bought some Ram from Newegg which can be found here. I installed the aforementioned Ram into my laptop following the correct method (unplug, remove battery, etc.) however when I booted my computer up I received a black screen with a blinking cursor that freezes after a few seconds shortly after the manufacturer's page is loaded.
I know for a fact that the Ram I bought is compatible with my laptop as I'm using one of the 2 sticks at the moment along with the original Ram from my laptop. Here's where I am really having issues though.
When I have just one stick of Ram I purchased installed without the original stick my computer fails to boot up also regardless of which slot the Rams in. I have tested the sticks I bought, and my computer will boot up with them, just not without the original stick that came with my computer which wouldn't be an issue except that a) there's only 2 slots, and b) my laptop can't have more than 8GB of Ram.
My BIOS is up to date (Ver1.6) and so long as I have my original stick of Ram installed my computer boots without any issues. Needless to say you can see why I'm in need of some help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any other specifics regarding my computer or settings feel free to ask and I'll do what I can to find them out.
