System wont boot after flash

i flashed the bios the first time to upgrade to 3.6 but noticed the temps issue and wanted to revert to 3.5, now here started the problem. i downloaded the zip file from msi site, read the instructions file and since i couldnt made a boot disk for windows xp pro (tried the "make a dos startup disk" but the system wouldnt boot from it) i used the flash utility that came with live update 3. im now sure this was the biggest mistake i had ever done: i choose the A6728IMS.350 file as ROM file and it started the flash in windows (had no programs running)
after reboot the system wouldnt start
i looked at the D-Bracket and was surprised to see that it was hanging on Memory Detection Test ! so i cant use the flash recovery feature cause it wont even initialize the keyboard
any chance of recover or i can say bye bye to my bios?
P4 2.80c Ghz HT enabled no OC
MSI 865PE P series (the one with GLan, not sure of exact model)
1 Gb Kingston 400 Dual DDR (2X512 module)
Ati Radeon 9800 Pro
Be-Quiet 400 W active PFC S1.3 PSU

have you tried to do the bios recovery ?
i had this same issue when i flashed the bios when i first got this mobo.
its basically bullshit on the part of MSI, you cant flash from a floppy, it wont let you, you have to have the bios on a hard drive.
the problem with that is, that it only works for a FAT16 or FAT32 hard drive since you have to do it thru dos.
i mean is MSI thinking, how many peple with Windows XP still have FAT hard drives., luckily i do. otherwise. ggrrr.
and you cant make a start up disk ? thats pretty wierd, format the floppy and choose Copy System Files this will make it bootable.
just put the bios file you want on a regular floppy, i dont think i made mine bootable, and hold the "Bios Recovery" button,, sorry i cant recall what it is.
and i will use whatever bios you have on the floppy.
but please be sure to read the bios recovery tutorial.
i tried to flash with on of the bios's 3 times and it still wouldnt work, i had to keep going back to the original bios.
the latest bios flashes fine so i dont know i think there is something seriously wrong with the bios from ,, i think it was Aug, or Nov.
also have you tried moving the jumper on the motherboard ??? and starting the machine ? this will change all bios settings to default, and could help you.

The point is, someone in the forums already did. All the forum regulars should remember when it happened too. A guy chastized us because we ask about the specs on people's power supplies. He took every post in the VGA forum to date and catagorized the solutions and found that only 50% of the problems in the forums were Power Supply Related. To me, if one out of every two problems in the VGA Forums is Power Supply Related, by asking the question, we can identify and solve 50% of the problems.
But we are used to people like yourself coming along every few months. Are you sure you did not used to log into these forums under the username of elzie?
Is this one of your old Threads:
A must read for everyone....
Richard
Yes, he does sound a bit like me doesn't he? (or vice versa). But no, we are two different people which your moderators can prove by looking at the IP addresses of both myself and elzie.
But I must admit he echo's my views. There is a definite danger that some posters who are here to help people will latch on to one supposed "solution" i.e. the PSU which is then tailored to fit all problems. Same goes for avoiding flashing the VGA BIOS especially over the Internet.
But as I've said before, 98% of system problems are software related and hardware only plays a minor role. It's a bit like a car. Without gas, you're not going anywhere regardless of all the technology that's been pumped into it. But gas can get contaminated with grit and can clog up fuel lines. So what should we do then? Change the whole car maybe? Or just replace the carburetor? After all, we don't want to risk damaging the machine by cleaning it do we?
There's just too much emphasis these days on blaming the product as the cause of the problem and replacing parts rather than taking the view that it's the user who has caused the problem himself by not following instructions when installing software. Statistics can be adapted to suit the issue too. But as I've already said, if the PSU was the main cause of failure of high end cards, the Internet would be literally littered with news about it. But there aren't any such articles, so how do you explain that?? And as Toms Hardware.com mentions here, the CPU and high end card can draw 160 watts. So it stands to reason that if you've got a 300W PSU, you've got more than enough over to run both doesn't it??
It's all very convenient to say, "replace the PSU and your troubles will be over", but if the problem persists after doing that, it won't do MSI reputation any good and the only benefit will be that a PSU manufacturer will have made a little extra profit this year.

System wont boot after restart, hangs..

Hello.
Recently i have got a strange problem.
When i restart or power on my computer without using the "main power switch on psu" my system hangs either just before cpu post or memory post.
If i turn it off and on again using the switch on the psu it boots just fine..
I have searched alot around the internet and tried many things. Tried disconnenting devices, resetting cmos, disconnect everything from mobo and resetting cmos, tried new bios, tested my ram sticks in memtest and so on..
The funny thing is that this problem suddenly occured. My system worked fine until 2 weeks ago.
Also it have happened that it freezes in windows, screen freezes and computer stops responding. But usually in have run for 2-4 days before that happens.
It would be very much appreciated if someone could help me out with this
My specs:
Msi k8n neo2 platinum 54g
Amd 64 3200 winchester
4 * 512mb 3200 ocz ram
Mist 430w psu
4* 200gb maxtor s-ata
card reader
dvd-rw
ati x800xl
+ alot of silent fans

Ok, now i am confused.
I have discussed this problem with other people in a norwegian forum. They guess that it is the motherboard which is causing this problem.
I also think that. Because system have worked perfect until recently. As i said earlier i have tried to disable some hardware to see how that worked and it was the same.
Now when system i booted it is 100% stable. The freezes that occured in windows was software related.
Also discovered that if i load windows in fail safe mode problem is gone! Have not been able to figure that one out.
Almost getting depressed here.
Comments? Tips?

K9NGM-L Help!! System wont boot after Online Live Flash Update

MSI K9NGM-L
Athlon AM2 3800 Dual core
4 x 1 gig Ram sticks
500w powersupply
Ok everything was working fine except the clock in both the bios and windows was going fast gaining about 1 minute every half an hour so i decided that it mabe a bios issue so i used the online Live Bios flash utility. its now upgraded to the latest bios. said to restart and since then all the lights are on on the pc the hard drive dosent seem like its making a noise, but now screen activity what so ever. i think i may have to flash the bios again with a floppy but dont know how or where to start as its been a long time since i did floppy flashing. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

ok slight success
now screen is on
but with this message:
checksum BAd
press F1 to run setup
press F2 to run default values and continue
that's normal and expected. go to BIOS, then "LOAD BIOS OPTIMIZED DEFAULTS", then "SAVE AND EXIT". message should gone.
after that if you need to apply some custom BIOS options, back to BIOS and apply them.

yeah thats all, after reboot no sign of life.
As this is a server i cant do any analizes. As there is no news entry on the web-page i did not expected any fundamental change which causes the server no longer to start but it seems like a switch to Gentoo is really needed after this problem is solved.
Anyay, until then, i hope you can help me with that

Same here, try to downgrade linux-lts

System wont boot after fresh install

Hello out there, i am in need of some serious help.I decided to upgrade my pc as she was showing signs of stress. so after alot of checking i decided on the k7n2 delta ilsr (future proofing in mind) amd 2600xp barton(333mhz) pc3200 512ddr
for the time being.
my problem is i cant get my system up and running, not even in safe mode.
I have tried alot of suggestions from tech supports and from these forums but with still no joy.
Everything seems to go pair shaped when windows is setting up, i have tried two seperate h/drives, win2k, winme (which i nearly got to safe mode with).
have been told everything compatible although will need to upgrade psu sooner rather than later and agp card later but both should be ok for now with what min drives i need.
error messages are
irql not less or even
boot drive innaccessable
config initialisation failed
somebody please help, spent whole of easter w/end trying which never went doen to well on the home fron (if you know what i mean)
am i doing something wrong, what should the cmos/bios settings be at.
my latest attempt was with min spec,: agp, 1 cdrom, 1 h/drive, etc.
sorry for the lenghy message but i am starting to loe hair over this now.
thanks in advance, srios

morning people, (if your up yet, its 8am)
bought a new psu from pcworld last night. they only had one brand, jeantech, i hope this is ok, i think so, i know someone running this psu with a p4 2.8/ msi system with no probs
anyway its spec is as follows;
+5v +3.3v +12v -5v -12v +5vsb
35a 28a 17a 0.3a 0.8a 2a
200w 204w 1.5w 9.6w 10w
it also has extra 4 pin cpu supply, do i connect this as well as an alternative or do i plug in to boost supply to +12v @ 17a x2 = 34a, or does it not work like that?!
right then, i'm gonna set this all up again in a little while, so is there anything else i need to do or check.
i do have one more question though, i have win2k on a h/drive now so can i just unplug old m/board and put in new one, or do i have to do a fresh install and format the drive first and start from the begining
anyway must dash and thanks for your time and help, .....srios

System wont boot up

I have the following pc
Leadtek 9800 GX
MSI P45-Neo3 FR mobo
Corsair CMPSU-450VX
the others don't matter.
Now, the system wont boot up if I dont do the following
1 - Shut down the PSU, remove power cable, remove battery. Push the power button a couple of times. Plug the power cable in, put the battery back (or just leave it out), power on the PSU and start the pc.
or
2 - Change the fsb jumper back and forth (at which point the system behaves as if I have removed the power cable and stuff at point 1).
If I don't do this the fan on the video card wont stop screaming and the monitor wont get any image (the card has 2 lights, one besides each dvi output. when I do 1 or 2, the lower one, where I plug my monitor, will go blue, the other one stay green).
Any ideas? The video card is ok, proc and psu aswell (since it "requires" a "fresh-bios" to boot up).. I'm lost.

My bad, forgot to mention the cpu
Pulled everything out, non-static surface. Tried with cpu, gpu + 1 memory and it works. Added the second memory, still works. Plugged in the sound card.. it works.
So, is there a short-circuit in the case? If so, how do I solve the problem without changing or modifying the case (its and antec 9000) ?
P.S. - I left all the cables case-mobo (power,reset, usb, audio, etc) so theyre not a problem.

Edit
Effin twilight zone I swear. Put everything back the way it was before and... it works. It freaking works. Well.. I get a BSOD but at least it works :D Any explanation?

Intel mac mini wont boot after system restore

Hi,
I ran the system restore on my intel mac mini using the genuine leopard cd that came with it.
Now it wont boot. When you press power the light comes on but it does not chime and there is not video output to any monitor.
Anyone know what could be wrong?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You picked 10.4.1 in your profile.
Intel Mac Minis at minimum came with 10.4.4.
If it came with a 10.5 genuine DVD, it most certainly was not running 10.4.1 or 10.4.4. Perhaps you mistook one Mac Mini install DVD for another? Does your Mac Mini have 4 USB ports on back? What does the 10.5 installer disc you used look like?

MacBook Pro 8,2 wont boot after Ubuntu live test and long press shutdown

i was trying ubuntu 12.10 on my Mac in a live environment the other day, and as usual the fans were spinning very fast and the system got hot. So i rebooted into OS X and then while using the Macbook, the fans started spinning unusually fast! So i long pressed the power button and it turned off. when i rebooted however, it flashed the little LED (i think thats what its called, on the right side of the front) rapidly and beeped. then after like 20 seconds, the chime but as soon as it had chimed, the mac rebooted and repeated the chime-reboot about 4 times. Then it boots up normally into OS X. I read online about manually flashing firmware but alas, no joy. Now my Mac just crashes anyhow and even if i try to use it by keeping it on sleep all the time, it just wont wake or it just crashes. Please help, i have no warranty and i dont live in a country where we have an apple genius bar or the like .

It's your hardware. Your model must have been released with Snow Leopard 10.6.4 or later. You should have the needed version on the original discs that came with the computer. If no discs came with the computer then it came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed. If this is the case then see the following:
How To Run Snow Leopard On A New Mac
This does not apply to new Mac Minis or MacBook Airs. When newer models are introduced that also require Lion for hardware support, the techniques described below will no longer work with the possible exception of using Parallels 7.
What has to be done:
1. Create a new partition on the hard drive.
2. Get a clone of a 10.6.8 Snow Leopard system. Put the cloned Snow Leopard
        system onto the new partition.
Step One: Create a new partition on the hard drive
To resize the drive and create a new partition do the following:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
               COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart
               the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until
               the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the
               downward pointing arrow button.
          After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3.           In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed. (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4.           Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss. Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.
Step Two: Obtain a clone of a Snow Leopard system:
You will need access to a Mac already running Snow Leopard. You will need a 16 GB USB flash drive or an external hard drive to which you can clone the Snow Leopard system from the Mac that has Snow Leopard installed. Alternatives are:
Option One:
Install a new Snow Leopard system onto a USB flash drive. Boot the Mac used for installing with the USB flash drive. Update the flash drive system to 10.6.8 using the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard. Verify that you can boot the Mac with the USB flash drive.
Take the USB flash drive to your new Mac and try booting from it. If it works then clone the system from the flash drive to the newly made partition:
          Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
      entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the USB
flash drive.
Option Two:
If you have a large enough external drive you can erase and use, then it would be easier to just clone the entire Snow Leopard system from the source Mac computer to the external drive.
          Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
      entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external drive. Source means the Snow Leopard Mac's
internal drive.
After cloning verify that it will boot the source Mac. If so then take the external drive to your new Mac boot with it. If all is well then restore the clone to the new partition on your new Mac:
          Restore the clone using Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination
      entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the new partition on the internal drive. Source means the external drive.
You will need a retail copy of Snow Leopard. If you need to purchase Snow Leopard contact Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service. The price is $29.00 plus tax. You will receive physical media - DVD - by mail.

K9N Diamond - Wont boot after BIOS update

Just attempted to update the BIOS on my PC and it now wont boot. Used LiveUpdate with the Windows flash option (don't have FD drive). The lights on the D-Bracket 2 get as far as LED 2 Green, 1,3,4 Red. I have already tried to Clear CMOS with no joy.
Any suggestions on how to proceed much appreciated - and yes, I already know, I've probably done something stupid
Thanks
Grant.

power down PC, remove power cord from the PSU, push several times power button to drain capacitors, then Clear CMOS and leave only one memory stick into DIMM slot close to CPU socket. pull back power cord and try to boot.
in a future do not update the BIOS for no reason....(only becouse its new, only becouse new BIOS maybe got a new logo and e.g...)
Looks like I'm back in business now. I found similar instructions at this location http://www.bosamar.com/K9N/trouble.html and followed the First Procedure.
Booted ok with one mem stick, in bios fail safe mode. I counted 7 short beeps while booting then one long beep. Not sure if this is ok. Read about bios beeps here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=82221.0 and the final long beep seems to indicate a pass???. Anyway, Vista appeared to come up ok and I checked everything in the hardware device manager and all looked fine.
Proceed to reboot with all mem sticks back in place, again same beeps but Vista coming up ok.
Next I switched bios to optimized defaults, but now 6 short beeps - no long beep. Windows looks ok. 6 beeps appear to indicate a keyboard problem, but kbd seems to work fine???
System looks ok now, but not sure if i should look into those beeps a bit more? BIOS now at 1.3, should I leave as is or revert to an earlier revision?
One thing I know that I am going to do is to install the FD drive from my old PC
Thanks for all the help.
BTW, the reason I did the BIOS flash was as a last resort to get my sound to work. Tried the various creative driver as suggest elsewhere on this forum but without success (as of yet there is no official vista compatible audio driver for my mb from MSI). The JAUD1 connector looks to be connected as specified in manual (but no audio from either the front nor real panel audio connectors).

EMMC lfash, phone wont boot into flash mode

Hi All
I Just reflashed my N900 to
RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1.203.1_PR_COMBINED_203_ARM
and wanted to clear it completely by flashing
RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM
Though the first 1 flashes just fine, but the vanilla file wont flash.
I entered this command
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
It detects the device, then it says "booting device into flash mode"
But then nothing happens anymore, phone does not show usb icon anymore
And i just see
flasher v2.5.2 <sep 24 2009>
Image 'mmc', size 255947 kB
version RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA
USB device found found at bus bus-0, device address \\.\libusb0-0001--0x0421-0x0105.
Found device RX-51, hardware revision 2101
NOLO version 1.4.14
Version of 'sw-release': RX-51_2008SE_10.2010.19-1.203.1_PR_203
Booting device into flash mode
Suitable USB device not found, waiting.
Can anybody explain me why it wont do this?
EDIT: Tried a few times to start over.
Sometimes it reboots, and i see the low power mode 5fots moving.
Then after a few seconds, it freezes on the 2nd dot.

first thing.. did you reboot the phone after flashing the COMBINED file?
second thing.. it could be a windows problem.. flashing on windows seems to cause problems for some people.. and in different ways.
Here's what to try:
flasher -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.19-1.203.1_PR_COMBINED_203_ARM.bin -f
(note that there is no -R option on that line)
then after that has flashed, don't disconnect the phone.. or do anything else and run this:
flasher -F RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin -f -R
(This time with the -R option)
If you reboot/restart your phone between flashing the two images, you could face problems..
If you're still having problems, I'd investigate using vmware or "Linux on a USB stick" to flash.. there are some howtos on here I can point you at.. it's not as bad as you'd think
