Unknown Processor Revison & Cant get into bios! RS482M4

Similair to problem to another post but have tried what was suggested.
This is my first attempt at an AMD system and I've hit a dead end on the first switch on...
AMD Athlon 64 3700+
MSI RS482M4 Motherboard
1GB RAM
WD 1600AB H/Drive
Sony CD-RW
When I power on I get the bios screen with the M/B details (RS482M4 A7019AMS V1.1) and processor details (AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+DRAM Clocking = 400 MHz).
It then goes a little further, initialises USB drivers, mememore HD and CDRom then states:
CMOS Settings Wrong
CMOS Date/Time Not Set
****Warning: Unknown Processor Revision ****
The processor installed on your system is of an unknown revision. Please contact your BIOS vendor for appropriate upadates. 
Fatal Error ... System Halted.
I have tried resettng the CMOS but as I cant get into the BIOS I cant update it and feel like I've been going round in circles for the last 5 hours!
Any ideas?

Bios version is V1.1 and PC doesnt boot to anything - doesnt get beyond saying 'Unknown Processor Revision' to even allow you into the bios to try updating it.
I have also tried asking on the MSI online support but as yet with no reply.  Its really annoying me as the motherboard has all the things I need and don't want to have to go and buy another one (have tried the CPU & memory in another machine and all worked fine).

  • Cant get into BIOS via DEL key, screen goes blank on load RD240

    Hello group, having an issue with a RD240 rackmount server attempting to bring it online for the first time. Currently in a one CPU configuration with one stick on RAM in the correct slot, using SAS. When the computer first boots prompting you to hit either DEL or TAB those keyboard commands are non-effective. Once it bypasses that screen it will move towards the LSI connfiguration utility. If you hit Ctrl +C it will say that the utility will become active after initialization. The screen then  just goes blank. At that point I can hit Ctrl Alt Delete and it will reboot the server and then in the same mess again, Del is ignored, I can't boot off the CDROM, cleared the BIOS using the jumpers, nada. Any thoughts on this would be great, at this point I can't get in to configure and if I just let it boot always ends in a black screen. Checked the cables for the SAS and everything looks good across the board to me. Tried different RAM sticks, unplugging the SATA CDROM, etc. I can get into the Mgmt via the web and sensor show everything green across the board etc but something is borked. There is a LED screen on the mainboard with the number 78. I couldn't reference what that means. All drives I can hear click on, Cheetah 15k all around. Steady green light on bottom, top light out. Any input would be greatly appreciated!

    Try pressing F1 at the Thinkserver Screen. When Setup Bios appears, you can exit out by pressing Esc.  After the screen goes blank, press Ctrl+H to get the Web Bios screen which will allow you to configure your server.  I hope that this will help.

  • Cant get into Bios, New board (K8T Neo-FIS2R)

    I just put in a new board and cpu, everything seems to start up fine. BUT I press DEL to get into the bios settings and it tells me theres no bios installed. My HDs wont autodetect at the start so i havent gotten to windows yet, HD taken from old pc with winxp on it already.
    Im totally lost here as what to do.
    Can i just DL the newest bios drivers and flash?

    Quote
    no bios installed
    ...that's the Promise controller...you have to press Delete when you first power on, you're probably missing the timing because of the Core Cell screen...
    ...you don't want to flash the BIOS until you get a stable system...well, you could, but...

  • I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Cant get into my messages - please help

    Hello
    I cant get into my messages. I press on messaging and the screen looks like it will go through but then it just returns to my main screen again. My handset is also not receiving texts my friends send me! yet i can bluetooth pics to my handset off other phones - but then it wont let me into the inbox to open them. I have put my sim in another handset and it works fine.
    What are my options? if I reset will I lose all the saved picture messages in the sub-folder i have set up in the inbox? Is there anyway I can get to these and save them! please help

    My girlfriend was having a similar problem with her N95 phone. I'd spotted a couple of posts like this one, but no solution. Here's how I fixed it...
    Used nokia pc suite to back everything up off the phone.
    We tried resetting the phone to factory settings using both the option within the phone, and the reset code, but still couldn't access messages.
    We then entered *#7370# to reformat the phone, and messages were than accessible.
    As we thought might happen, when we restored the full backup in nokia pc suite, the messages couldn't be accessed.
    We reformatted the phone a second time, and restored the backup using nokia pc suite again but this time we didn't restore the settings. Messaging was accessible again, the old messages, contacts etc were all there. All that needed setting up again were things like selected ring tones.
    Hope that helps.

  • I cant get into itunes producer keep getting an error my username and password is incorrect. i have made a new one all good still same error any ideas?

    I cant get into itunes producer keep getting an error my username and password is incorrect. i have made a new one all good still same error any ideas?

    I'm having a very similar problem.
    I'm based in the U.K. and am trying to publish an iBook through the iTunes bookstore. I have made my book in iBooks author 2.0. My iTunes is up to date.
    When I try and publish the iBook I have passed and ticked the Pre Publish Check; and the Create Account, but when I try and download iTunes Producer through iTunes Connect I'm told "Your Apple ID does not have permission to access iTunes Content."
    When I try and re-set my iTunes Store account I'm told "The iTunes Store Account has already applied to distribute content on the iBookstore." Of course it has I just did that.
    If I try and sign in to iTunes Connect through the Publishing pane I'm told "Your ID or Password was entered incorrectly." Even though I've just used it to sign into iTunes (and here), so my password and Apple ID work fine elsewhere.
    Is my access to the iTunes Connect being delayed while my submission is processed, i.e. the processing of my tax and account details? Or am I stuck in a loop?
    If this is still processing (I started this 20 hours ago) I assume that I have to submit the book itself when I can download iTunes Producer at a later date, as I haven't submitted the book yet?
    I emailed the problem to iTunes Store and was refered to [email protected], only for them to say they don't read or reply to emails sent to that address??????
    I'm not sure which part of the process I've reached - if any. I feel I'm in limbo. I have an iBook ready to go - but where is Apple?
    Any help would be most welcome.

    Hi Mike, the Keyboard shouldn't matter, it should be OK in that respect.
    Your kind of stuck without any Install Disc to try to repair it or reinstall, but...
    Tough without the Install disc, but some things to try...
    Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
    /sbin/fsck -fy
    Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
    (Space between fsck AND -fy important).
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Tough without the Tiger Disk problems, but try fsck...
    To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
    1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup.
Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
    2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
    (SPACE between fsck AND -fy important)
    3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:

    The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OK 
If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** 

Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
    4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    Does it boot into Open Firmware with CMD+Option+o+f ?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42642
    reset-nvram (press Enter)
    set-defaults (press Enter)
    reset-all (press Enter)
    Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
