Unable to boot my MS6330 based computer

I built my MS6330 based computer four years ago and have not had a single issue with it until today.  During a Fritz 8 analysis of a chess game, the monitor went dark (the power light turned orange, indicating loss of signal from the computer); the computer's hard drive, cd-rom, cdr, and power led's remained lit continuously.  The power and reset buttons on the case were unreponsive.  I shut off the power from the power supply.  After waiting, I turned on the power supply, and the computer turned to the same state without beeping.  
Here are my system specs:
MSI MS-6330
Bios type/revision unavailable as I cannot get into the system
AMD "Thunderbird" Athlon 1.0 Ghz
Crucial 256 MB, Synch, 133Mhz, Cl3
Unknown brand, 256MB, SDR DIMM, H32ZHS
Visiontek Xtasy Geforce2 Ti 64 MB
Antec PP-303X 300W; +3.3v/14A, +5V/30A, +12V/10A, +3.3/+5V combined 160W
IBM Deskstar 15.3GB 7200 RPM HD, Model#DTLA307015 on IDE1
Creative Labs 52X CD-ROM IDE1
Sony CD-RW CRX195A1 IDE2
Win 98SE, latest updated service pack (windows update run 4/15/04)
2 Antec case fans + Antec "Volcano" fan
What is the issue and what should be done?
Thanks,
Scott Hirsch

Since the PSU is of good quality, taking into account the components as well the fact that it has performed well for 4 years, I have the feeling that we can safely rule out the possibility of insufficient power supply in this case  
Scott, is it possible to test components in another system? It is important to find out if the parts are in good working order (in particular: videocard, but if possible also ram and cpu).

  • [Solved] Unable to boot (startup job is running)

    Hi there!
    Today I went home and tried to boot my laptop there, but was unable to boot Arch.
    Before I went home I did a system update using  ' sudo pacman -Syu '  and shut the laptop off normally. Right now I get the following message whilst booting:
    " A startup job is running for dev-disk...25EFDCE0.device"
    It fails after 1 min. 30s and shows a time out error for dependency /mnt/6776F38425EFDCE0, and refuses to boot. I waited for 5 min. but the only thing working at that stage is the shut down button (which appears to enter a normal shutdown mode).
    Grub 2 is functioning; Windows 8 boots up fine (same HDD); though all options to boot arch fail because of the 'startup job error message'.
    Do any of you know how I can fix this, or how to boot/fix arch such that I can attempt to fix it? Based on a search trough this forum it might be an error in FSTAB,  although all cases reported on this forum appear to boot normally after the 'a startup job is running 'error message'.
    Many thanks.

    Thank you for your response.
    Changing the UUID's to /dev/sdaX did not do it's magic, unfortunately. The ' a start job'  message is gone, the boot however gets stuck at
    /dev/sda2 clean .... (beginning of boot)
    Unfortunately I did not properly save the back-up of my fstab file, so the initial set up is lost. Was able to acces arch using alt+f2 and have restored it manually with
    lsblk -f
    It currently looks like this. I did have a line to automount my data partition (/dev/sda4, label: Data), but didn' t know how to restore that one as that line got deleted too.  My gut says this automount was causing the initial error, but it should boot up normally with the current fstab file, right?

  • 2009 Macbook unable to boot in any fashion

    I was recently given a broken Macbook from a friend who didn't want it anymore, and had no interest in fixing it. It's a 13.3" Macbook from 2009 with a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of 1066MHz RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce 9400M. Since I can't get it to boot, and am not super familiar with Apple OS's (I'm more of a linux guy to be honest), I'm not entirely sure which version of OS X it's running, but from the production date my best guess would be Snow Leopard.
    So now to the problem.The first time I turned it on it booted to the login screen with no problem. Unfortunately that was the only time it worked. Now when I press the power button, it goes to the gray screen with the Apple logo, and the progresses to a blank blue screen. After approximately 5 seconds the screen goes black, and flickers in a somewhat periodic manner until I manually turn off the computer. In an attempt to fix it I tried to boot it in safe mode, but experienced the same problem. Next I tried to boot it off of an Ubuntu Live USB, but was unable to access the boot menu, and was therefore unable to boot off the flash drive.
    After doing a bit more research, I tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. I started the computer, pressing and continuing to hold the "option-command-p-r" key combination before the gray screen as per the instructions given at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379, but encountered the same progression of screens as I previously had, thus the only reasonable assumption is that it did not successfully reset. Next I tried resetting the SMC. I removed the battery, disconnected the the power adapter, and depressed the power button for 10 seconds, but this as well had no effect.
    Next I tried to run fsck by booting into single-user mode. Though it booted to what appeared to be the functional single-user mode command line prompt, after the line ":/ root#" I was unable to type any commands, and once again had to manually shut down the computer. On another attempt to boot is single user mode the message
    :/ root# AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement: initialization complete
    Broadcom2045FamilyUSBBluetoothHCIController::start booting in single user ... will wait for later
    [HCICcontroller][configurePM] power parent ready after 1 tries
    and another try yielded a last line identical to the first line of the above message, with the lower two lines appearing above it.
    I then, tested the RAM by trying all 6 permutations of the two 1GB sticks. With each configuration I tried to boot the computer normally, in safe mode, and in single-user mode, but in all 6 configurations the computer behaved exactly like (with the exception of it spending more time on the gray screen with Apple logo during the normal boot procedure when it was being run in the 4 positions that had only 1GB of RAM rather than the standard 2GB, but that was to be expected) it had been.
    Five notes of interest.
    1) The power adapter she gave me with it is an 85 watt model, whereas the stock power adapter appears to have been a 45 watt version, but this should neither have contributed to my current problem, nor caused any damage to the computer whatsoever
    2) The computer is unable to be turned on without being unplugged and removing the battery first. That is to say, after an unsuccessful boot attempt I must remove then replace the battery in order to try again.
    3) The battery is not defective, and is capable of holding a charge
    4) The screen was replaced at some point in the last 2 - 3 months
    5) I have read of a similar problem occurring with Macbooks that have had a new hard drive installed, but as far as I can tell the hard drive in it is the stock 160GB one that came stock with the computer
    Thank you for taking the time to read this post, and for any advice or help you can provide.

    Despite nobody having answered, I'll keep updating.
    I noticed today that as well as having to remove the battery each time before trying to start the computer, it also will not start if the power adapter is plugged in.

  • Satellite P100-347: Blue screen appears on start up - unable to boot volume

    Recently I left my 2 younger brothers playing NFS Carbon on my satellite P100-347, preinstalled with media centre 2005 edition, and now it fails to startup.
    During the startup process eventually a blue screen is displayed for about a second and then it shutsdown (I manged to make out the words "unable to boot volume" from the blue screen).
    I tried booting with an XP media centre DVD but it only gives me an option of reinstalling the OS with a price of losing all my very important data. Normally I would have recovered the system but I don't want to lose my data.
    Is there anything i can do other than taking it to a technician?

    Hi
    Well, mostly the BSOD appears due to a hardware problem or serious software issue.
    In your case the software problem is possible
    Unfortunately, I think the new OS installation is the best way to get the notebook running correctly.
    Now you want to know how to save the data and files well, I think you should remove the HDD from notebook and should try to connect the 2.5 HDD via external USB controller to another computer. Then you could save the files on the other HDD
    I think, now you know that the regular backups are important and necessary!!!!

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC unable to boot recovery disk

    HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC unable to boot recovery disk.  First when I power on my notebook it goes straight to the launch recovery or launch Windows normally screen.  When I choose start windows normally, it goes to the window screen and freeze.  When I try to launch the start-up with windows 7 start-up disk, the computer will not load the files.  When I tried to complete a hard drive test, it failed with a failure ID 9UXNXA-55E65V-XD003G-60XR03.  
    I'm looking for a solution, can someone help?

    Hi:
    It sounds like you need to purchase a new hard drive for your notebook, and reinstall the operating system with your recovery disks.
    When a HDD fails a diagnostic test, it normally means it is done for.

  • [SOLVED]Unable to boot eMac with Arch PPC

    Hi everyone,
    I just got into Arch and I realized there was a PPC port, so I decided to see if I could replace Ubuntu on my eMac (USB 2.0) with it.  Unfortunately, I am unable to boot, getting stuck with the loading of the second-stage bootstrap.  What should I be looking for in order to diagnose and conceivably remedy this issue?
    I get the flashing folder with an alternating Mac face and question mark.
    EDIT: Please see the link to the archlinuxppc-user mailing list for the resolution to my issue.    I hope it helps someone else.

    Hi DaNiMoTh,
    Thanks for the reply.  Well, I have just made a post at the mailing list page, so hopefully it will be approved by the moderators soon.  The situation has somewhat changed as I have attempted to reinstall Arch PPC on the eMac since then.  Now I am immediately taken to the second-stage yaboot screen at boot and I have no access to OpenFirmware.  When I use the Live CD to mount the / and /home partitions of /dev/hda, all I see in / is /home and /lost+found, while in /home all I see is /lost+found.  It appears that Arch PPC never actually installed, and I have no idea why.  I guess the files in /mnt were never copied to /.  I'm so confused by all this, but I really desire to understand what is happening and how I can get this computer up and running.  If you have any thoughts at all, please don't hesitate to share.  I'm completely willing to do some reading, but I have not seen reports of a similar situation yet.
    By the way, my eMac is 32-bit.
    Thanks,
    bkadoctaj
    EDIT: I'm not sure how I can get a log for any of this, especially since it appears the install never completed, even though nothing during the install process suggested that was the case.
    EDIT 2: Forget this thread...  The discussion has been continued over at http://groups.google.com/group/archlinu … f4b89ad2ad
    Thank you for the assistance.

  • [SOLVED] Unable to boot ISO on USB

    Hello,
    I'm unable to boot from USB. I have the following error : "Failed to install override security policy: (14) Not Found".
    I tried the following solution : http://superuser.com/a/676059
    But then my computer does not want to boot on the USB. I don't have any option for UEFI on my computer's BIOS (ASUS eeepc). Note that I don't want a dual boot with Windows and there is currently a broken archlinux installation on my hard drive.
    Can anyone help me with this ?

    I don't have an option for last boot. I'll check for a new uefi firmware !
    EDIT: How do I check for that ?
    I have an option on the BIOS "Launch EFIT Shell from filesystem" which search for Shellx64.efi on the available filesystem devices. However, it is calle shellx64_v1.efi and shellx64_v2.efi on the archlinux iso. May be this be a problem ?
    Anyway, it's strange, the last time I installed Archlinux this eeepc (more than one year ago...) I didn't had any problem !

  • Make OSX SD/USB bootable lock, i.e., make Mac unable to boot without SD card.

    Hello!
    I'm trying to find a way to make my Macbook unable to boot without an external media to initialize the computer. Or at least a way to remove the harddrives from the listed boot options by hitting the option/alt key on bootup. I want to remove those options and force the computer to boot off the removable media. Is this possible, or has it been attempted?

    The boot disk is specified in System Preferences>Startup Disk
    What do you see when you boot to recovery and look at the startup disk and look at the disk(s) in disk utility?

    Try reinstalling via Recovery as stated in the above.
    Do you have access to another Mac? If so can connect via FireWire bd access the Mini's disk via FW target disk mode

    You can't boot from systems earlier than that shipped with the computer. For example, early 2008 Mac Pros come with 10.5.1 and can't boot 10.5
    Also you can't boot with a DVD that was shipped with a different model Mac.

  • Installed a cloned a 500g solid state hard drive but unable to boot. Can only hear drive spinning quietly, no chime to launch OS. Total darkness. Can anyone help? thanks in advance!

    Installed a cloned 500g solid state hard drive but unable to boot in macbook pro. Can only hear drive spinning quietly, no chime to launch OS. Total darkness. Can anyone help? thanks in advance!

    Hi Retired Engineer,
    Yes, you're right. It is the Seagate Momentus XT and it does not spin. That was just a layman's term for computer illiterate like myself. After hours of inspection & a prayer, I discovered by pulling the 4 GB memory chips out I put in, replacing the 1.5 GB back in for the memory which I upgraded 3 years ago. Chime! It works! So it is the 4 GB memory causing the problem. But why? Does that mean my Macbook Pro does not support with more memory? The fan noise is now gone which I suspect it was caused the other overheating Seagate hard drive & eventually causing the crash. However, the top bar temp indicator shows 174˙F @ 000rpm. Does that also mean the fan on the left is not working? (the right fan on the board works). Do they work simutaneously? Or left fan is just a back up?
    Thanks for your reply & kind gesture.

  • Problem with Santa Rosa MBP-Unable to Boot

    I have a Santa Rosa MBP with the maximum of 4GB of memory.
    About 4 months ago I was unable to boot it because there was no video at all. The Genius Bar stated it was a problem with the video in the hardware and kept it for about a week to install a new Logic Board.
    I got it back but within a couple days began having new problems. The Wi-Fi would connect but there was no internet on safari, mail, etc. i went to the Apple store again and the Genius Bar was unable to fix it and said it was a problem deep inside the OS. What I did since I had already bought Snow Leopard I did an upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard and it solved the problem.
    It has worked well the last 3 months or so when my MBP started slowing down. It would sometimes take 10 minutes just to get from the login screen after typing in my password to my desktop where I can use it. Programs would open slow, close slow. My dashboard opens but I can't do anything with it. It has only gotten worse with time and now the computer won't even boot. It gets to the grey Apple with the progress indicator and stays there with the fan running but never goes further.
    Fortunately I had done a mirrored backup from Super Duper. I had begun to think it was a hard drive problem. I tried booting from this backup that was made before the problem got very bad and it also runs the same way. I then took this backup to another MBP I have and it worked perfectly. I don't think it's a hard drive problem now. I then thought it may be a memory problem. I used the DVD that came with the MBP to do a hardware test which passed.
    I think I have no choice but to go back to the Genius Bar. The problem is with purchasing the additional AppleCare my AppleCare just expired about 3 weeks ago. Yet I know this logic board was put in around 4 months ago and if I'm correct when something like that is done it's often a refurbished board, not new. Either way I had the issue with Wi-Fi just after the replacement and I went back to Apple for it. I think it was related and now this problem. I don't want to have to buy a new MBP but yet I'm convinced all these problems started with the logic board replacement.
    Do any of you have other ideas of what the problem could be? Is it possible something I could fix? I have tried a PRAM reset with no luck. Would Apple cover something like this?
    Thank you for your help.

  • [RESOLVED]NF980-G65 Hang on windows 7 install. Unable to boot

    Hello,
    I'm a bit at wit's end here.  My old non-MSI motherboard was failing and giving me loud beep errors, so I decided to replace it.  In doing so I was required to update basically the whole computer in order to keep up with tech trends and my new LCD monitor.
    I bought an MSI NF980-G65, 4 gb ddr3 RAM, an ADM 64 250 dual core, and a Nvidia GTX 260.  After I installed the hardware, I was unable to access windows vista 32 on my old hard drive.  I assumed this was because of driver conflicts. Because I had no install discs (only upgrade/recovery discs) I was unable to boot from CD, so I purchased windows 7.  Regardless of which disc(32 or 64) I use when I set my boot sequence in BIOS to boot from the CD first, this is what happens:
    The screen shows a white loading bar that says "Windows is loading"
    The next screen shows "Starting Windows" with a small "microsoft corporation" logo below it.  It sometimes has a red pixel on the screen.
    The next screen it flips to is all blank.  From there it does nothing, no matter how long I leave it.
    I have tried booting with no graphics card(internal only)
    I have tried booting with no HD attached.
    I have tried booting with only one HD attached (of two I've done this both ways)
    My HD's have been checked and they are fine
    I have tried booting using another dvd rom drive
    I have tried swapping IDE HD slots with that of the dvd.
    the DVD does use a pci extension card because the sable is not long enough for the dvd player, but regardless of where that IDE cable is plugged in, it still hangs in the load screen and does not go anywhere.
    I've seen this symptom mentioned, but not per this motherboard, it seems like a BIOS setting issue but I feel like I've tried them all (disable LAN etc).
    If I try to boot to the old Vista 32 install, it says "starting windows" but the logo does not appear, and the progress bar does not fill.
    If I try booting vista 32 in any safe mode the load hangs on a .sys file.
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get this going in the right direction? This has become very frustrating.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    What are your complete system specs?  Need the complete picture.  What ram and timings?  Tried 1 dimm in slot closest to cpu? 
    Since posting this I have tried formatting my Small drive listed above.  I was only able to erase the info using Killdisk.  The format from windows using my old Motherboard (Abit) would not work.  Last night I let the system try to install windows 7 all night, I had 2gb of ddr3 in 1 dimm slot closest to the cpu.  I connected only the above drive after it was whiped, no graphics card (limited on board graphics are on the motherboard) and the install still hung as usual.  Does Killdisk do some sort of improper format? I had assumed that it would erase all data to provide a clean slate.  But I don't even thing a HD is required in order to boot up to the main setup screen?
    Do I have voodoo in my machine?

  • Unable to boot back to os x after installing windows7

    I'm using iMAC with all the softwares updated.
    As the title stated, I'm unable to boot back to my mac os x after i successfully installed windows 7.
    I hold on to the Option key / Alt key but to no avail.
    I'm able to see my Mac HD via My Computer from windows 7.
    I even manage to install drivers from the os x cd itself to windows 7.
    Just thinking is it something wrong with the MBR of mac os x or windows that caused this issue to arise.
    Any help or guide will be helpful!
    Regards,

    X on startup should take you into OS X
    For now, go to Windows control panels : Boot Camp and change the default OS there.
    Whether it is keyboard, bluetooth, or karma, some people's systems do seem to have trouble on the timing or getting Option/Alt to bring up the EFI Boot menu/manager.

  • MXI Express - Unable to boot

    Hi all,
    I am using MXI Express (PXI-8360) to control a PXI-chassis using an external PC.  The setup was working for several months, then all of the sudden I can no longer boot into Windows.  In fact, I cannot even get passed the BIOS.  Both LEDs on the PXI-8360 front panel are solid green.  The PC starts normally when I removed the MXI cable or turn off the PXI chassis.  The problem fits the description of the MXI BIOS compatibility issue described here: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/05B7131814A5DDA38625710F006BB098?OpenDocument.
    I have tried the followings.  None resolved the issue.
    1) Install the MXI board in a different PXI-Express slot.
    2) Update the PC BIOS.
    3) Put the MXI board into mode 1 by setting the DIP switch.  Install NI MXI-Express BIOS compatibility Software Ver 1.3.  Now the booting process is halted at Windows boot up screen.  I am thinking about going to Safe Mode and uninstall the program.

    - PC: Dell Optiplex 980, BIOS version A07.
    - PXI-1042 chassis: PXI-8360, and houses the following PXI boards: 6508, 4461, 4065, 2569, 2530.
    It’s an all-else-fail scenario.  Please HELP.
    Thanks

    Dear Sir,
    two quick questions need to consuly you,
    1)
    After reviewing 
    http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/81CBF2F7F0BAEDBD86257330000514DF?OpenDocument
    May I know what "MXI-Express BIOS Compatibility" for? to fix issue of boot-freezing, right?
    If I do need to solve the PCI resource issue, should I still need to update the BIOS depends on selected laptop?
    Does that mean if I got problem for using 8360 with my Laptop in the first installation for booting problem,  I can use "MXI-Express BIOS Compatibility" to solve the booting issue, and use my 8360 with limited condition on PCI resource enumeration?
    Install NI MXI-Express BIOS compatibility software if your Windows XP or Vista-based computer does not boot when connected to your PXI chassis through MXI-Express, or if Windows does not properly discover your devices. (That is, it shows yellow exclamation points with Code 12 or Code 31 errors in Windows Device Manager, despite drivers for all devices being installed.) 
    2)
    In below page http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/9949
      Dell
      National Instruments works closely with Dell to ensure that the basic input/output system (BIOS) for the current  
      generation desktop PCs, laptops, and workstations works with MXI-Express. Before using MXI-Express     products   with Dell or other name brand computers, make sure that the BIOS is updated to the current version to  benefit fr  om the latest BIOS improvements.
    Do you have a complete list of compatible Dell laptop for using ExpressCard 8360?
    I did not finy the information on you web and even from the Forums.
    Thank you,
