X58 PRO NO BOOT AFTER IOH HEAT FIX.

Hello everyone, I have a strange problem with my x58 platinum setup after fixing the heat issue with the ioh.
My board says ms 7522 rev 3.1. My booklet and package says x58 pro but greenpower says platinum.
Running core i7 920 with 3 gigs of ocz 1066 ddr3 all in black slots, vista home premium sp1, msi ati 3450 hd graphics card, thermaltake v1 cooler, antec 680w iceburg psu,3x320 seagate barracuda 7200.11 harddrives,nzxt
sentry 5 fan cooler control and lg dvd/lightscribe writer.
I had ioh idle temps in the 70c range and near 80c at load so I read the threads in the forum and carefully removed
the heatsinks. cleaned off the hard white and dry tmi. Reapplied correct thermal compound. Plugged everything back in and when I turned it on all I got was a quick hdd light blink and no post,no display. I might have mixed up the order of the sata drives on the board so i've tried to switch them all to other ports and to no avail.
I cleared cmos with power off and unplugged several times with each sata port change and it's the same thing.
Power on just the fans and all leds come on but no hdd light and no boot. Leds on my graphics card slot are on and the cpu leds are all on and green light on board is on. Maybee it's my boot sequence from the drives that are
out of order. The system was a little touchy but for the most part stable and working fine before fixed the ioh.
I am an electronics guy and repair amplifiers and radios and I deal with Blown voltage regulators and output chips
all the time so I'm not unfamilliar with this kind of repair. I wore a static strap and had the board on a non conductive surface. Sorry so long but I wanted to give as much info as poss. Thanks in advance for the advice.
 

Well, tried all sata combos that I could out of the drives and no results. To answer your question earlier. the black ring is in tact under the heatsink and I did not see any tim overflow to the surrounding area. Also it doesn't even
trigger the monitor to come on and no beeps from system speaker. Checked all connections and everything seems to be solid. Is there a way to wipe bios and harrdrives and basically start over? I unplugged all hdds to see if I would get a screen and nothing. I've turned the thing off and on so much in different combos that I'm worried about it totally fragmenting the drives with bad sectors that it wouldn't boot even if I found the right order.
The way my luck goes I probably fried it. Thanks again.

    My Mac Pro cannot boot after upgrade to 10.8.3. Anything firmware I can reset or how should I do.
    I am using a early 2008 Mac Pro

    Can you boot into safe mode? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
    If not, how about Recovery? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4718
    If you can, run Disk Utlity and repair the disk. You can try rebooting normally, but I would just reinstall after quitting Disk Utility.

  • X58 Pro a Lemon? IOH cooling insufficient.

    Is the X58 Pro motherboard a Lemon?  The x58 cooling solution on the board is inadequate by far.  Very soon, MSI will introduce a replacement board called the X58 Pro-E which has a different heat sync on the Dr. MOS and X58 chipset.  They will no doubt ignore all of us with the Lemon.  Which is totally unacceptable and enough to make me not want buy any MSI products ever in the future!
    The only solution to cooling your IOH on the X58 Pro is to replace the useless MSI heat sync or run a small fast fan on to them. 
    Here are the possibilities;
    1) with stock cooler IOH is 72C at idle
    2) Running a 40mm 4000RPM fan ($12.00) directly onto the chips set from above the chipset, the IOH drops to 55C.
    3) Replacing the sock solution with 2 Thermalright HR-05-IFX (23.00 each) the IOH drops to 38C*
    *note: In my Antec Sonata case the HR-05-IFX are directly in the path of the 120mm fan exhaust that is mounted to the hard drive cage. This fan, draws air through the bottom of the case, over the hard drives and out over the motherboard.  This is a Noctuna 120M fan that is running at 900 RMP (Ultra Quiet Mode).  This fan blows directly onto the HR-05-IFX  and helps dissipate the heat build up on the fins of the HR-05-IFX.  With this fan turned off, the IOH temp starts out at 39C but quickly climbs into the 45C range with heavy use.
    Using the 3rd solution, I can go up to a 190 MHz  base CPU clock rate which makes the 2.6GHz i970 a  3.8Ghz CPU.  The max I can go with memory is 1500MHz using OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB)  rated at 1600 (OCZ3G1600LV6GK). Anything above that the board is not stable.  At a base clock of 210 MHz, the board hangs-up in boot.  It goes through the BIOS POS T and the screen says "WAIT..." and nothing happens.
    I'm using BIOS 7.3.  see https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=126768.0 
    by the way, be careful when you remove the stock IOH cooler.  Mine was pretty much stuck to the board.  I had to yank it off with a set of pliers.  Upon taking it off, part of the problem was clearly apparent.  There was enough silicon grease (or should I say hardened cement) to drown an elephant.   The grease must be the cheapest kind you can find because it had caked up into a thick layer of plastic and I had to scrape off heavy scabs.  I wish I had taken a picture.
    Once you do this upgrade, all of us should send the $50 bill to MSI.  They should give all of us MSI X58 Pro uses a $50 rebate for selling us a Lemon.

    So far, not any X58 Pro boards have burned up an X58 (IOH) that I've read about. 72c is well below the 100c limit, so those that choose not to redo the heatsinks need not panic as long as sustained full loads are below 100c.
    Out of the 3 X58 Pros I've helped build, no 'Lemons' noted among them. Just started build #4. I would say your 3.8 on the CPU & 1500 on the mem. is pretty decent. The CPU only natively supports 800/1066 memory, so what's the complaint? 1333 & 1600 are 'OC' speeds. Your mem. sticks may be rated 1600, but doubt they are chipped more than 1333.
    What was your specific system issue that required a bios update?
    Is the X58 Pro-E a 'replacement' board as you call it, or a new introduction board to the line-up? Have you been ignored so far over your 'self proclaimed' lemon?

  • Windows 8.1 Pro not booting after install of Hyper V - ASUS z87 + intel 4670K

    Hi,
    I am running windows 8.1 pro on a intel 4670K 4th Gen Haswell CPU and ASUS z87 plus motherboard. 16gb of kingston hyperx ddr1600 memory.
    I have enabled virtualisation technology in the bios.  CPU has SLAT.... or Extended Page Table, as intel likes to refer to it.
    When I install HyperV platform and management tools the computer configures and reboots
    AFter reboot it brings up the blue window image and spinning circle of dots for a while then reboots. It does the same thing again and then reboots and goings into repair mode and asks me to do a system restore. It then restores to before they HyperV install.
    I've tried turning off xHCI mode (i.e USB 3.0) in the bios as this seemed to be a known issue with some gigabyte boards. This did not rectify the issue
    Updated to latest asus mainboard bios 1405.  Same issue still occurs upon install of hyper V.
    Automatic repair does not work and I have to restore from system restore point.
    I performed a clean boot after installing the feature and it still couldnt boot to windows.. it just sits at windows logo and then restarts a few times and then launches the startup repair. Once the startup repair begins, the only way I can get into windows
    is restoring to a system restore point from before the hyperv feature install.
    Please see the following logs which may have further information:

    I logged a job with asus support and their response was:

    Previously asked this question but took a while to get back to update with the logs and it was listed as Answered.
    This issue is still existing and I'd appreciating any assistance.

  • My Macbook Pro wont boot after upgrading to SSD, A ? Mark on Folder appears

    Hello all,
    I just put in a new SSD into my mid 2012, 13" macbook pro. This is the exact SSD http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=77394 89&tab=7&SRCCODE=WEBLET03ORDER&cm_mmc=Email-_-WebletMain-_-WEBLET03ORDER-_-Deals &utm_source=EML&utm_medium=main&utm_campaign=WEBLET03ORDER&cm_lm=noahbragg@cedar ville.edu
    I swapped out my optical drive and put in the SSD using this tutorial, http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Installing+MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+Unibody+Mid+2012+Dual +Hard+Drive/13787 Everything seemed to go fine and i had no problems. But when I tried to start up the computer it stayed on a gray screen and a foler with a question mark on it, showed up blanking. I have looked all over for the internet for the answer, I have tried to reset the PRAM but it did nothing. I then tried to select what drive i wanted to boot from by holding the option key when i booted, but when the options came up, SSD or old harddrive did not come up as a way to boot up. There were some internet options to recover but they did not work.
    The SSD has nothing on it at this point, but my plan was to boot up using the original HD and then clone it over to the SSD, but ovbiously i cant even find the HD to boot to. I have seen that people are having troubles with booting to their SSD because of the new mavericks update, but i am just trying to boot to my original HD at this point.
    I also considered that maybe i possibly damaged the HD cables through static electricty, but when i searched more about it i learned that i should have heard snap or felt a jolt. None of these things happened when i installed the SSD. So i beleive that the hard drive or SSD are not broken in any way.
    Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on how i can fix this? Need my computer very badly! thanks in advance.

    I also forgot to mention that after the first time i tried to boot, it went to the normal screen where it wanted me to put in my apple id password. but the loading wheel was just spinning the whole time. so i turned off the computer and tried again. thats when the question mark folder came up and kept coming up everytime after that.

  • Macbook Pro not booting after update. ''Disk Utility can't repair disk''. Help needed!

    I have recently updated my macbook pro as I had some pending software updates. I left it to do the job over night and the next day I noticed it was not letting me sign in to my account session as usual.
    I restarted the computer and ever since then when I boot it, it just shows the apple grey screen with a bar that loads to about a 3rd and then it turns off again. I have contacted apple but they were unable to help me with this.
    So far I have tried to:
    1. Re-install OS X 10.8 - but it says the disk is locked or OS X cannot be installed on Recovery HD.
    2. Verify and Repair the disk and I errors but it cannot fix them. Some are:
                   'invalid leaf count''
                   ''missing thread record''
                   ''incorrect number of file hard links''
                   ''overlapped extent allocation''
              and it finally says ''the volume Macintosh HD cannot be repaired'' Error: ''Disk Utility can't repair this disk.. disk, and restore your backed up files.
    I would like to know a way to back up my files so that i can completely restore the disk without any data loss as I havent backed up for a while!
    If anyone has any solution to this issue it would be much appreciated!

    I just ran the Disk Utility, and cannot very disk. It gives me an error message;
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    and when I run the repair, this is the message:
    The volume GERRARD could not be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
    Repair attempted on 1 volume
    1 volume could not be repaired
    Prior to running Disk Utility, I have already tried DiskWarrior, and could not repair my disk. Anyway I can fix this problem??? Formatting the disk would be my last option (though I am unsure if it will fix the problem). Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Meanwhile, I will continue to back up my file, and delete unused data and try to run it again.
    Thank you all very much for any input.
    Cheers,
    Matt

    Hi RobertRak
    I can only say I have a Samsung SSD 840 EVO 1TB installed in my MacBook Pro 17”. Speeds are exquisite: Write: 479.1MB/s Read: 508.9MB/s
    Like Melophage, I left the Optical drive in place.
    My only thought for your case is to check firmware of the Samsung SSD drive.
    Samsung SSD website: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/samsungssd/downloads.html
    I think i used DiskUtility to clone the ISO to USB flashdrive or CD-RW. It was a challenge to get the Mac to boot from their DOS, but once successful you should get to the latest firmware. The Samsung needs to be in the internal SATA connection.
    Be aware that the POST check your Mac does on startup will always take time. Depends on amount of RAM, how long your other internal spindle drive takes to get to speed and unpark the heads etc.
    Can't say i've counted the boot time on mine. I know it's quicker now since putting the SSD in.
    You will need at least 10% free space left on the boot SSD too BTW.
    Hope this assists.

  • Macbook pro not booting after software update

    Dear all,
    Since two days ago my macbook pro hangs at the gray apple screen, the round circle keeps on turning. Kept it running for nights but it does not exit this status. I read on the internet that I could run it in verbose mode, that's what I did, see screenshot below. What do you recommend? This seems to be a hard disk issue. How can I boot up in safe mode and possibly recover the hard disk data? Any other recommendations?
    Thanks,

    Get your Mac to a Computer repair service, or do it yourself. You will need to put it in an external SATA reader, like I did. I recovered files via an older mac running Slow Leopard and copied files to it.
    What I did:
    1. You will have to remove the screws at the bottom of your Mac, in order to get to the HDD (or SSD, whatever you have).
    2. You need to remove the HDD and put it in an external Case/SATA reader
    3. Copy files from your HDD to another Mac
    4. On that other Mac, go to Disk Utility (search in spotlight) and Erase as 'Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)'
    5. Download Mountain lion on another Mac from the AppStore, and go to that Applications folder.
    6. Right click on the downloaded file and select “Show Package Contents”. Go to “Contents” and jump inside the “SharedSupport” folder and you’ll find a file titled “InstallESD.dmg”. Copy this over to the desktop.
    7. Plug in a USB flash drive to your Mac having at least 4GB memory. We highly suggest going ahead with an 8GB one just to be on the safe side.
    8. Now open up “Disk Utility” and drag InstallESD.dmg from the desktop to the left-hand sidebar. Select the attached USB from left side and click on “Partition” tab.
    9. Select “1 Partition” from the Volume Scheme dropdown menu. Choose “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” from the left.
    10. Now click on “Option” at the bottom. Select “GUID Partition Table” and press OK. Now click on Apply at the bottom right to start formatting.. (NOTE: This is will erase all data on your USB flash drive)
    11. Once the drive has been formatted, click on “Restore” (it’s right next to where you clicked on “Partition in Step 5).
    12. Choose USB drive you plugged-in in Step 5 as “Destination” with the InstallESD.dmg file as “Source”.
    13. Click Restore and type in your password (if you have any). This will create the intended Lion bootable USB flash drive
    14. Reboot your Mac with the USB drive plugged in. Hold the “Option” key on your keyboard when you hear the iconic OS X startup chime. You can now boot into your Flash drive from there.
    15. Follow the on-screen instructions to install OS X , and after that, reboot
    16. Format USB back to FAT in Disk Utility, copy your files from old PC to new using the USB.
    That's it, you're done . Takes a lot of time, but recovered my Mac this way!

  • MacBook Pro not booting after stop sign appears

    Hi,   
        On Friday I was browsing twitter whilst running photoshop CS5 on my MacBook Pro 13", when safari crashed on me. I tried to close safari normally, but it wasn't responding.
    After trying the various ways of closing the program, I was forced to just leave it and hope for the best. I opened photoshop to try and burn some time whilst waiting for safari to respond - unfortunately photoshop proceeded to crash as well. Shortly after CS5 crashing, I stopped being able to input from the keyboard or trackpad clicks. At this point, not even the finder would open , and after some quick research I decided the only thing left to do was to power down the MBP by holding down the power button for a few seconds.
    Once it had powered down I left it for a good amount of time (maybe 20-25 mins) and turned it back on again. Everything seemed to be working just fine with the reboot - untill the grey apple logo was replaced with a 'stop sign' above the loading wheel. This sign stays there for hours and nothing happens, and I can't even boot in safe mode either .
    One last thing - I bought this MBP from my cousin, and it has had several problems before (such as replacing the hard drive in the apple store) and is under warranty untill october.

    Can you boot to the Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting)? If so, use Disk Utility to both verify and repair permissions and verify and, if needed, repair the hard drive. If the hard drive can't be repaired, and you're still under warranty, or even if you can't boot into the Recovery partition, make an appointment at your local Apple Store and have them take a look at it. If your cousin didn't transfer the warranty to you (which, the last time I did it, was an arduous task) then have he/her take it in.
    Good luck - let us know if you can get to the Recovery partition...

  • Mac Pro not booting after restore.

    Hi. Hopefully someone can help me here.
    Tried a total system restore from my leapard Install disk to a recent time machine backup of Snow Leopard 6.4 after a mishap with Mac Keeper (easily done I tell you)
    The drive seemed slow and unresponsive even before this and had initially spat out my two Snow Leopard install disks but I managed to boot from previous original Leopard disk after I shut the machine down for a while. Using utilities, I found the back-up required and started restoring some 435gigs worth which took 18 hours. At times the drive seemed to go to sleep. I was beginning to think that the drive was just about hanging in there with the odd behaviour that had recently happened. I had initially thought the disks must have been scratched but it was stating it could not read other disks too so I guess there is a definite drive problem going on.
    Anyway, eventually the next day my sceen stated that the mac was restored. Tried to boot. Gray sceen of death.  Telling me to shut down and reboot. Happened every time. Tried starting command +S.where it's stating "Mac OS not yet set". It wont let me type anything. Tried rebooting from leopard again to see what disk utility was finding. All seemed OK. The computer is seeing the drives and the content amounts. Tries varifying/repairing disks.  all OK. Tried repairing permissions on sysem drive which finished in a split second.  I'm thinking of changing the superdrive and backing up again but this may not be the problem at all. I did have a file that said previous system on the Mac for some reason separate to the system it was using. Could that be a problem here. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks James
    Mac Pro - Snow Leopard 10.6.4  (2006-2008)

    Hi
    Thanks for replying.
    Yes I booted from Leopard install disk as the dvd drive wasn't seeing either of my Snow Leopard ones.
    From utilities menu I restored a time machine backup that I had done just before using Mac Keeper. This was meant to be a complete system install as I didn't know what files Mac keeper had moved. Though it took a long time, it finally stated that it was restored and I thought I was back in business. However gray screen shut down after a few 3 seconds of Apple appearing everytime.
    The DVD drive is not letting me boot on leopard install everytime either. Any thoughts

  • Macbook pro not booting after travel

    I have a 2013 13 inch macbook pro. I closed the lid shut when there were programs running, put it in the carrying case and went to the airport. I was at the airport in less than an hour. At the security desk when I took out the macbook it wasn't noticeably hot. I put it back in the case and after takeoff I took it out of the case to work. It wouldn't boot. All I see is a grey screen and the computer is slightly hot at the bottom and back. I have tried many times since then to reboot with no luck. I have tried holding the shift key after powering, holding command, option, P, R keys etc. Nothing. No sound. No logo nothing. Only grey screen. Is it kaput?

  • Macbook Pro cannot boot after Yosemite install

    I just (tried) to upgrade to Yosemite (from latest version of Mavericks) on a brand new Macbook Pro. It installed the OS, I got to type my iCloud information etc - and I saw a glimpse of the desktop, but then:
    I got the Black screen of death (the one where you can only reboot with text in different languages).
    Then, when rebooting I got Apple logo + plus a progress bar  (see attachment)
    And then a stop sign. (see attachment)
    I have tried holding down power button and restart manually 5 times - no luck. The mac is stuck, and I cannot boot.
    Please help - I need to get back to work.

    Had the exact same problem on my Macbook Air.  Apple Support had me boot with Command-R and repaired disk in Disk Utility.  Everything seemed fine so they told me to reinstall, which I did.  After a few hours I went back to the screen and it asked me to type in my password. After that is tries to install some more and then I get the following message:
    OS X could not be installed on your computer.
    This core storage operation is not allowed on a sparse logical volume group.
    Quit the installer to restart your computer and try again.
    Each time I try to reboot I get the same message.

  • Windows 8.1 won't boot after repair loop fix

    I have a 1 year old Gateway desktop with Windows 8.1 installed at the factory so I have no Install disk. My problem began when the computer went into a repair/recovery loop which I found out is a common unresolved bug for Windows 8.1. After hours and hours
    of internet search and trial and error I was able to get the repair loop resolved by going into command prompt and typing "bcdedit /set {default} recoveryenabled No}". I then tried rebooting and the Recovery page came up stating:
    Your PC needs to be repaired.
    The operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors.
    File: NETIO.SYS
    Error code: 0xc000000f
    When I tried all of the options to address this problem none of them worked. I can't even boot into safe mode. Any suggestions? 

    Hi Boomer3s,
    Can we boot into the Windows Recovery Environment now (Restart and keep pressing "Shift")?
    If the Windows Recovery Environment is not available ,we can choose to boot from a installation media .We can make a Windows 8.1 installation media here.
    Create installation media for Windows 8.1
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-HK/windows-8/create-reset-refresh-media
    a)      Insert the installation DVD or USB and boot Windows 8.1 from it.
    b)      In the ‘Windows setup’ page select the ‘Language to install’, ‘Time and currency format’ and the ‘keyboard or input method’ and click on ‘next’.
    c)       Click on ‘Repair your computer’ and select ‘Troubleshoot’. 
    d)      Click on ‘Advanced options’ and select ‘Automatic Repair’ and select the operating system.Or the "System restore option "
    Hope this helps

  • OS 9 not booting after Norton disk fix

    Background -> I am a Mac nub. I am considering switching from pc to Mac at home because I hate windows stability.
    Question -> I was given a G3 Beige with OS 9.0. Norton utilities software was installed and while running the disk checker (I don't remember what it is called exactly) it found an error so I clicked the Fit It button. On the next boot attempt all it shows is an icon with a question mark (fails to boot). I do not have the OS 9 install CD to attempt to reinstall it or run disk doctor. Are there any other options? I've tried the parameter reset also.(I followed Apples troubleshooting suggestions.) I do have OS 7.x on floppies but the G3 popped up a message saying it was incompatible which did not surprise me. The previous owner is looking for the OS 9 CD but instead of him driving 2 hours round trip I thought I'd ask yous first. Thanks much.

    Hi lipslips;
    May I start this by welcoming you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
    I think you have been caught by the problem with Norton and that it it's tendancy to cause more problems then it solves.
    I tend to think that might be part of the reason for Symantec to drop support for the Mac line.
    I know when Norton did that to me the only thing that save me was DiskWarrior. This is a very powerful utility for rebuilding directories. It can some times fix the damage inflicted by Norton
    If DW fails about your only other alternative is to erase the disk, reformat it and install the operating system and your code again.
    I hope you have backups.

  • Macbook pro not booting after installing yosemite

    I have just installed Yosemite and it now won't boot up. I just have a circle with a line through it on my screen. No idea how to resolve this! Any suggestions please.
