Satteliite C50 wont go to boot men/BIOS settings and directly goes to Windows.

Hello,i wanted to install Ubuntu on my Sattelite C50 but i cant change the boot priority settings because i cant go to boot menu or BIOS setup screen.
I tried holding F2 or F12 but both didnt work.
Any help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm assuming your C50 is using Windows 8 or 8.1; you didn't say!  Hold down the shift key while clicking on Shutdown. Then, hold down the F2 key while pressing the Power button. This will get you into BIOS/UEFI.

  • In Depth guide to BIOS settings. and Mouse/UEFI woes

    I'm wondering if there is any on-line in-depth guides to the BIOS settings. I have a P67A-GD65 B3 and the documentation is pitiful. I am not interested at this point in overclocking, but I do want to optimize BIOS to get maximum performance and boot times. I want to disable any unnecessary items (such as 1394 support and Marvel SATA controller) and disable all that green energy stuff.
    Also, I just flashed my UEFI from a  V1B to V1E, and now, my mouse in BIOS is worthless. It jumps all over the screen and all settings need to be made with the keyboard. My mouse is just a Microsoft Natural wireless laser. It worked fine in V1B.
    My Specs are:
    CPU: i7-2600K
    RAM: 8Gb Corsair
    Video: GeForce GTX 560 Ti

    A search of the net may point to some. Flash back to v1.B unless v1.E addressed a specific reason for flashing in the first place. Recommend to contact MSI Tech Support & advise them of the issue experienced with v1.E; http://support.msi.com/ 

  • Bios settings and tech support phone

    I wanted to find out if msi has a toll free tech support number or what their number is for tech support? it's not listed on the web site that I could find nor is it in their motherboard manual.
    Also can anyone please give me some bios settings recomendations? Or is their an FAQ with bios settings recomendations? I also just updated my bios today to 1.9.
    I'm going to get new ram though more then likely. It'll be ddr pc3200, either from crucial or who is good? 1gb in 2 512mb sticks.
    So I was just hoping for some bios advice please. I also will not be overclocking right now. So everything is for stability.

    Load Optimal Default seems OK for most. You may need to change those peripherals settings such as enable/disable RAID, 1394 etc. The rest leave as it is.

  • Windows 7 only boots from bios, Start-up repair cannot identify windows.

    So I recently bought a Samsung SSD 840 PRO 256GB to replace my 80GB Intel SSD. My plan was to migrate Windows 7 to the new drive, delete the old drive and install Ubuntu 14.04 on it. I used this tutorial to transfer the data: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYK-C4rIxrI
    It didn't work the first time, so I tried a second time (it overwrote the data from the first try.) and it looked like it worked. I unplugged everything except the Samsung, and it booted fine. Then I took the Samsung off and installed Ubuntu 14.04 on the
    old drive (which seems to have its own issues, but I will deal with that later.) 
    When I try system repair, I am unable to choose an OS to repair. When I try bootrec /rebuildbcd it says it cannot recognize the file system and to make sure the system drivers are loaded.
    BUT, I can still boot to Windows if I select the drive in bios. (I think Ubuntu is broken, because that wont boot at all.)
    My priority is to get windows working, hopefully without reinstalling. 

    I fixed it somehow, but that was not the problem. I re-installed Ubuntu on the old drive, except I completely deleted all the stuff on the drive first. Then I rebooted both drives separately, they both booted automatically. Now everything works except the
    grub boot loader. 
    I did say that I could still boot to windows by selecting the Samsung in the bios... so your answer didn't help.
    I think that the old drive might have been overwritten the wrong way and there was still something from that drive messing with the boot order. That might explain why it worked when I had only the Samsung hooked up.

  • H97M-G42 stuck at boot with BIOS 7925v25 and 7924v26

    I am in a loophole with the MSI H97M-G43 Motherboard.
    I would not recommend this motherboard to anyone planning to play with ESXi
    Bios v21 v22 v23 v24 would not recognize quadport lan adapters such as Intel PRO/1000 VT or Intel PRO/1000 PT.
    In Bios they will appear us "Unrecognized Manufacturer" and there is no option to enable hardware from unrecognized manufacturers
    Bios v25 v26 would recognize PRO/1000 VT hardware but would refuse to but OS.
    Very very confusing and unstable situation.

    Update:
    Bios v25 & v26 are unable to initialize 32GB of RAM, thus creating boot issues.
    16GB RAM work just fine.
    Bios v21,v22,v23,v24 would handle 32GB of ram without any problems.
    Wow..... MSI

  • C240 BIOS Settings and ESXi - AES, SSE

    Hello,
    I'm currently converting from an IBM server to a Cisco C240M3, (2) 2697 v2 CPU's, 128G Memory, BIOS 1.5.3b.0.....  (all new from Cisco, just setting it up)
    ESXi is installed on both machines and is working, as is vCenter for both.
    When I try to copy my appliances from the IBM to the C240, I get the errors shown on the attachment.  The only advice VMWare has is 'see your system provider'
    I looked in the BIOS, searched on Cisco.com and the internet and did not find any information about enabling AES SSE (or having them shown to the OS underneath).  I did look at the specs for the 2697 v2 processors and they support everything they seem to need.
    Is there a BIOS option to specifically enable the options I need that were on the IBM server such that I can just copy my appliances from the IBM to the Cisco?  This is what I have done in the past and it saves a ton of time.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks

    After 2 hours of cursing, I found a solution though:
    - Remove battery from MB, keep it away till the power is completely drained. Shortcut the pins under the battery position for a faster drain.
    - Place the battery in the battery holder again, but do NOT push it down in it's place. Only make it have contact with the metal, to be able to power up the MB.
    - The power button on the MB will light up when you got connection. After you have powered up the MB, remove the battery IMMEDIATELY.
    Before the OS boots, you'll be presented with a few CPU and RAM details. Under this details, you'll be presented with the BEAUTIFUL message: "Press F1 to enter setup". Tada!
    This have been a real struggle. One star less to MSI for this one.
    What you did was a thorough CMOS Clear.  That also means that when you did this:
    Quote
    I've cleared the BIOS
    Something did not go as expected.  The whole point of a CMOS Clear is to make the system completely powerless.  Was your PSU connected to A/C power when you originally cleared CMOS?  It needs to be disconnected and the power-on button has to be pressed a couple of times (to drain capacitors) before the CMOS-Clear Button at the back panel should be pressed for a couple of seconds.  This procedure should always yield this:
    Quote
    "Press F1 to enter setup"
    If that did not happen when you cleared CMOS before, then there was either still power in the circuits when you pressed the button, or the Clear CMOS Button is defective.

  • Unmountable Boot Volume on XP and screen goes blank before repair begins

    The XP Windows partition was seemingly working fine until I turned on the laptop this afternoon. Took a minute or so longer to boot than usual and I was prompted when it did load to update Acrobat, which I did and it rebooted. Took longer to boot, perhaps two or three minutes and I received an Unmountable Boot Volume error. I rebooted a few more times, same result. I tried system restore to three previous dates over past ten days and was told after attempted reloading that it had failed and I should try another day. Worried about my data, I went to safe mode to back up C: drive.
    The general advice from MS is to use the Windows installation CD to repair the boot sector. With the CD in, Windows will boot and show my normal desktop and files, though will on perhaps the third item to load to memory, the screen goes blank and the loading seems to continue, as I hear sounds though not sure if it is the programs or the repair.
    There does seem to be an ability for it to boot, just not maintain it through full load. Any suggestions short of reinstalling windows would be welcomed. Thank you.

    I was unistalling some usless programs when my laptop died & when I turned it on I had unmountable boot volume 0x000000ED (the blue screen)
    If I hit repair windows it goes to a black screen with the mouse (nothing else)
    Now I tried f8 & then did command prompt but after it had gone to the loading files screen it had gone back to the blue screens with unmountable boot volume 0x000000E
    I DL windows 7 repair but how do I get it to install when I cant get past the blue screen?
    so i decide to repair it my self and then i found this great solution what helps me

  • IPod 3rd Gen 30gb wont sync with iTunes, but works fine and shows up in windows explorer

    Hi, My sister-in-laws ipod classic 3rd gen ipod is being wierd. Therres a few problems. First and foremost when we plug it into her windows XP laptop and open the latest version of itunes, which we uninstalled and reinstalled the message "The software required for this ipod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall itunes to install the required software." which we allready did. I also did everything in this article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363?viewlocale=en_US but when i selected the usbappl file as the driver it didnt reconize it as a driver. I also ran itunes dianostics and restarted the apple mobile device service and fixed all other issues. The ipod shows up fine in the windows explorer any help is appreciated.

    That is a 4th gen iPod, and it should work with a USB port (or a FireWire port).
    If you have not done a standard Restore on the iPod using iTunes, you may want to do that next.  The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  So, if the cause is related to software (or data corruption), and there is no hardware issue, a Restore should fix it.
    WARNING:  The 4th gen iPod (when used on a USB port) will ask that you connect it to a USB power adapter as the last step in the Restore process.  These white square power adapters originally came with this model.  If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, you will not be able to complete the Restore, and the iPod will become non-functional.  So don't do it unless you have one.  A third-party power adapter may or may not work for this purpose.  The USB port on your computer does not work for this purpose.

  • Z77A-GD65 Cannot boot from Bios A

    Hi,
    I was fine for years until about two weeks ago, when PC sometimes didn't boot up (no VGA signal, keyboard dead). I fixed the situation by trying to turn it on/off again few times and then it worked. Few days it was OK, and then it happened again. Fixed by the same way. Today, it happened again and I wasn't able to fix it.
    I checked LED error code and it was cycling about 5 codes like 49,55,4F, .. (see the attachment). I tried to check/remove all components with no success. I also tried CMOS clearing (connect pins, battery out), but still nothing.
    At the end, I tried to switch to Bios B and PC booted without any problem. I updated Bios B to the latest version and now I am fine. It also looks that problem is fixed.
    But what is wrong with Bios A? I want to fix it and use it, but I don't know how. I tried to update the bios with Msi forum hq usb flashing tool (booted from Bios B and then switched to Bios A before flashing), but it is still dead.
    Thanks a lot for your help.

    I also had some sort of same problem (Bios A not booting, bios B OK)
    BUT remember one thing: that bios switch is not really hardware. To really switch between bioses you must unplug power cord, wait for capacitor to discharge and then flip the switch.
    So the sollution for you  (that worked for me twice) is: clear CMOS (search forum for detailed method). Switch to BIOS B, Make bootable USB with BIOS version 10.5 (A5) (because this version REALLY works with option to flash the other BIOS). Update (or just downgrade to BIOS 10.5) and then clear CMOS with powercord out and battery out. Boot from bios B and within bios flash BIOS A from BIOS B. You will have same version on both Bioses. After that switch to BIOS A (again after clear CMOS etc...) and now you just can upgrade to which bios version you want using the USB bootable stick.
    I now have BIOS A with version 10.11 (AB) and BIOS B with 10.5 (A5) just to restore BIOS A in case of failure.
    First time when I did this was because mobo failed to boot and can't save OC profiles. Second time was (probably) because of many OC testing.

  • No bios access, and now no nothing!

    I have (had) a pretty good working system for over a month now. Wanted to access bios but could not get into it no matter what I did. My set up would always take a few minutes to start up and the monitor would stay blank/black until the Windows screen appears (no pre-boot graph bar etc.) But it would still run great after that. While researching similar problems, I hit the cmos reset button with the power disconnected etc. Now it won't even come up on the monitor. Everything turns on and powers up but no display whatsoever. Tried removing and replacing the battery on the MOBO, using just one stick of Ram etc. with no results. My wife is going to kill me!!!!
    HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This was a sweet set up and the only problem I had was running Crysis to the max settings and was going to overclock it a little later.

    Thanks again for your quick responses!!!!
    I started it up OK with the other card but did not physically move the card itself. I just took off the power cord for the one that I tested the first time and ran just the second vga. Should I try to switch power cords to both of the vga's to rule out a power supply problem? If it works with that process, not sure what to do next. I did not build this system but bought it custom made from a dependable custom builder. He has tried to help me too via email but is also running out of possible solutions. However, this forum is a life saver!! Long story short, I am not a high tech trained guy with computers. But have a feeling I will learn from my mistakes! As much as possible, would not want to take apart or disassemble anything if I can try to sort it out. Although I am great at taking things apart. Not so great at putting it back!
    Thanks again

  • Bsod after bios update 1.4 - 1.5 + Windows automatic repair loops

    After i updated my bios with liveupdate5 my computer started acting up with endless automatic repairs for w8.1 and random bsods for w7. Changing bios settings and restoring defaults does not solve the issue :-/
    Is it possible to revert back to the 1.4 somehow?

    Quote from: RemusM on 07-March-14, 21:50:06
    v1.5 was released 3 months ago.
    http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H87MG43.html#/?div=BIOS
    Did you clear the CMOS (and reload the default settings) after the BIOS update?
    hm true, weird how they just now was displayed in the live update. No, I havent done any type of manual cmos clearing, but it would seem that the live update takes care of that as far as the instructions goes.
    Patching back to 1.4 without any light in the tunnel. The computer still does no longer boot futher than the windowslogo before bsod. Reinstalling windows does not help :-/

  • BIOS settings: please help

    Hello,
    You can see my specifications below.
    I have been busy for weeks with my graphic card to reduce it's crashing.
    Now I hope that someone, seeing my specifications below, might be so kind to help me
    with the system BIOS settings, who are still at "default values".
    I do video editing, burning etc. but no gaming.
    I don't intend extreme over clocking.
    I have removed the NB-fan as reducing noise is important to me.
    Could someone give me some system BIOS settings and values,
    for a good performance.
    tia
    Azerty

    Seems we do something similar. See my signature for details. For me, it
    worked out better to use 5:4 rate and to increase overclock the CPU only,
    because MPEG2 encoding seems still to be CPU bound and mem performance
    is not that big issue. The increase of speed is aproximately the increase of
    CPU performance.
    To enable 5:3, you have to set DRAM timing from AUTO to 333. Still a clock
    rate like 227 in my case is x15 fot the CPU but x4 /5 for the RAM, giving you
    some potential with DDR400 RAM. In my case, the Corsair allow me 2-3-2-5-8
    at the rate.
    For me, setting ram timings to SPD allows the MB to do a lot of nasty things.
    MSI is somewhat nasty anyhow. 200 MHz FSB is 203. To get something like 200,
    you have to set it to 201. I prefer manual settings. PAT is enabled and disabled
    just like the board wants. A lot of different behaviours for different settings
    and BIOS versions. I use 1.8. Here, PAT is alwasy disabled in 1:1 when you
    set RAM timings manually. When setting it SPD, it will be on in Fast and up.
    For me, PAT is switched on in 5:4 even in manual. Some say, in 5:4, PAT
    can never be enabled. But for encoding, I saw no difference. For cutting, also.
    Disable spectrum spread. Let PIC/AGP work at 33/66 fixed. To ackomplish this,
    you might have to enable SATA, even if you don't use it. It's a bug. If you
    anable Parallel only, you can set "keep yes fpr Serial" in IDE settings. Look for
    other hints in this forum. (Sorry, just saw in your sig that you have SATA).
    For the fan: I asked the question and a lot of people said it's no recomended to
    simply switch off the fan. So I decided to by a cheap manual fan control. I use
    it to reduce NB fan to minimum, so I nearly not hear it. I also have a case fan
    that is alread reduced and reduced further by this control. The Zalman Cu
    fan is also quite silent, I also reduce it. For cutting, no problems. CPU in idle
    is about 35-38c (case 33c), will not go beyond 40-42c when cutting. When I do
    encoding, it will raise. In this case I have to give aprox. half throttle (I normaly
    leave the room for some 12-15 hours of encoding 90 minutes CBR 6500 and
    switch them to full). Otherwise temps will raise to 60c (and crash). With a bit of
    fan, they will stay at around 50c, which is ok.
    If you have further questions, you can also email me.

  • When Booting Cisco 6500 its directly going to Rommon

    Hi All, When we reboot or Hrad boot the Cisco 6509 its directly going to rommon again to make the switch boot in IOS each and everytime we need to give the command boot, we have checked and found that flash is working fine and even the boot sequence is configured properly.
    what could cause this problem ?

    Check your boot statement , if this is a native box it should be "boot system flash sup-bootflash: or "boot system flash disk0: . Anything else will cause it to go to rommon if the config register is correct. It has to be pointed at the supervisor bootflash or disk0 and that is where the image should be located because that is where the initial boot starts , it boots the supervisor then hands it over to the mscf to be loaded.

  • K7n2 delta series: bios settings & FSB

    Hello! All
    Happy Easter holidays!
    Currently, I have my board fsb settings at 133 mhz and have an AMD 3000 Athlon, my question is: What settings should I have my FSB settings on? I would like to maximize my bios settings and I feel 133 mhz I am not maximizing system performance. Any help/direction would be appreciated.

    ReneH,
    Your min FSB should be 166Mhz. Which flavor 3000+ do you have, since I think that one came in both 166Mhz (2.16GHz) and 200Mhz (2.1GHz) FSB's.
    Take Care,
    Richard
    P.S. But with no specs on your comp and my Chrystal Ball in the shop for repairs, I can only take a spab in the dark.

  • 875P Neo FIS2R drive& bios settings help!!

    Greetings guys.
    Newbie here?
    Would someone be so kind as to help me set up the following, using W2K as OS on the 875P Neo FIS2R board with P4 3.06 processor 2x512mb ram with a radeon 9700 and onboard sound, all the drivers etc are installed from the CD but am still using bios V1.2, not flashed it yet.......
    I want my set up to be the following but I am having problems getting all my drives on the right chipsets.
    IDE1= 1x120gb WD drive and 1x60gb drive for storage
    IDE2= Sony DVDR
    ICH5R to be 2x37gb WD SATA individual drive not raided on ser 1&2
    Promise to be 2x37gb WD SATA as raid 0 for my OS
    but I cannot work out the Bios settings and how to acheive what I want, assuming it is possible to do it this way.
    Yes I know the quantity of drives is OTT but I did a good deal with a local shop in exchange for the 4x37gb SATA HDD's
    Please make it simple, it takes ages to sink into my head...

    make sure the "AS raid" option is enabled in BIOS under intergrated peripherals then on-chip conf.
    that should handel the promise controller.
    then you will need to read the manual to manually set each conf listed.
    pg 3-24
    these settings may do it:
    ATA config set to P-ATA+S-ATA
    S-ATA set to enable
    P-ATA set to yes
    P-ATA set to Both
    Combined mode depends on where you install OS: suggest SATA
    if that, then S-ATA 1st ch.
    S-ATA RAID set to no
    try this,let me know
