Z68A-G43(G3) boot failure message

I have an i7-2700K Sandybridge processor on a Z68A-G43(G3) motherboard with BIOS v 4.3. I am now having boot up error messages: "Warning!!! The previous overclocking had failed. Please enter Setup to configure your system."
I am not overclocking. I tried clearing CMOS and loading default values into the BIOS and it worked perfectly for a while, but the warning message is appearing again.
I have tested my RAM (8Gb) and it checks out OK and updated my PSU.
Any suggestions please? I see that there's a BIOS update to v 5 but that is for an Ivybridge processor while mine is Sandybridge.

I have been having a similar problem with my parts below:

So I have built 4 pcs, all with the above specs. All the motherboards serial numbers are sequential, meaning from the same production run. 3 of the 4 are set up the same, with raid 1 on the hard drives.
On 3 of the four PCs, off random boots (usually after being on for 2 days), a message will pop up in the startup, pre-bios, that says:
Overclocking has failed. Press F1 to boot, F2 to enter Bios setup.
They aren't overclocked. I measured the peak wattage and it hovers around the 200 range, well within the 550 power supply.
What I've done so far:
Updated Bios to newest revisions.
Contacted manufacturer. They said check the memory. Ran memtest86 for hours. No problems.
Also purchased new UPS backup with Voltage monitoring, etc.
RMA-ed two of the boards with the replacements having the same problem.
I've just stumbled onto this thread here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=159053.0
To try it, I've changed the DRAM Frequency from Auto to DDR3-1600MHz. This is where I currently am. Curious that it happens to the machines that are set up in raid 1, but not the non-raid machine.

[PT880] SATA boot failure without old IDE (non boot!) drive

Aaaaargh.
I go to all the trouble of installing my new sata HD, getting it to work, getting it to boot, copying all my stuff from the old drive -
And now, as soon as I yank the old IDE drive, the new drive refuses to boot. I get a "boot failure" message. To boot, I have to have the old drive plugged in. I'm not booting from the IDE. In fact, once the boot process begins I can actually unplug the old drive and everything works fine. But the system staunchly refuses to boot unless it can hold hands with its old drive.
I went into bios and checked the boot sequence - only the new drive is in the sequence. Everything else I can think of checks OK. I've got the latest bios.
Any ideas out there??

bootfailure? did you fdisk your new drive and set an active partition to it? Otherwise the new drive can't boot without an active partition.
Ugh. No, I hadn't fdisked. In over 20 years using (and tinkering with) computers I've never actually upgraded a hard disk before, and I hadn't even realized it. So I had things a bit messed up: the old partition was still labeled as "active" and "system," the new as "boot." At just for a little variety, I thought I would remedy the problem by simply setting the new to "active" in disk management and rebooting.
Can anyone guess what happened? Vewy scawy.
Anyway, after a hair-raising two hours messing around in the recovery console, I have got everything straightened out. And learned some new things about the terms "active," "system" and "boot" in the process.

Z68a-G43 (g3) overclocking has failed message/boot problems

Mobo- z68a-G43 (g3)
Cpu- Intel Core i5 2400 3.10ghz
Memory- Kingston 4gb (2 sticks)
VGA- NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460
PSU- Thermaltake TR2 600w
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit Service Pack 1
I just built this computer two months ago and it was running perfect. Then I started getting a black BIOS screen when ever I turned the computer on. It said "Warning! Previous overclocking has failed. Press F1 to go to set up. F2 to reset settings and continue." This confused me because I have never put it into overclock. Soon after when I tried to turn my computer back on it would not boot. It tries to boot up several times and only the fans spin. The only way to stop it is to turn the power switch on the psu off. After all this occurred my psu would no longer work either. I sent both my mobo and psu in for warranty and just now got the new ones back. I put it all together and it was working perfectly. A few days later the same message came up again "Warning! The previous overclocking has failed. Press F1 to go to set up. F2 to reset settings and continue." I reset it to the defaults and all the BIOS are updated but it has happened again. My computer will no longer start up but my psu is still functioning at least this time. I have reset the CMOS, tried one stick of RAM, took the comp apart made sure everything was firmly in place and put it back together, and tried unplugging everything but the basics but still the same issue fans run and it keeps trying to start up over and over and never boots. I refuse to believe that this mobo is broken because it is brand new. I was wondering if there is some sort of compatibility issue or voltage problem but I can't figure out what to do. Please someone give me some help. It is very much appreciated.

Thanks but I finally figured out the problem. The socket is set to 1333MHz and I have my RAM at 1600MHz. I just had to manually clock it higher becasue that is overclocked.

I searched on internet, I think this is caused by my graphic card(ATI 5750), but I have no idea to solve it
I don't know my system boot failure due to these error or another things.
my PC specs:
motherbroad - gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 (bios ver - F11)
cpu - i5-750
display - ati 5750
os - arch 64bit
Currently, I have downgraded back to 3.13.
I hope someone can give me some idea,
Thanks

As there are errors associated with ntpd, I would temporarily disable the ntpd service and also ipv6.
If they are not the only problem, at least your logs would be easier to examine for other problems.

Boot Failure iMac G3 400MHz, goes on firmware mode :S

Hello everyone,
I recently bought a second hand iMac G3, 400MHz processor and 128mb ram, 10gb harddrive. I've always wanted a Mac just for the fun of it, and i finally got it. I dont think this imac is dead, but i'm having trouble on boot. It is not booting the traditional way, it is going down to firmware boot.
It gives this info:
MacOS: Boot Failure! (0xF3C481F6)
Mac OS: parcel initialization failure - bad checksum
Then i have 2 choices from the firmware for booting or shutting down 1. mac-boot command and 2. shut-down command.
So, i give it the mac-boot command; in starts showing the mac face for a few seconds, then it displays this message below of it:
/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:5,\\:tbxi
after maybe a minute it finally displays the face and ? symbol; typical of not finding the system. Problem is that, even starting the imac with the system disc on it and pressing "c" at bootime, it still goes to the firmware thing...
Is there a way to tell the imac "hey dont boot at firmware, boot at cd!!" ??
Oh, by the way...during the "/pci@f2000000/mac-io@17/ata-4@1f000/disk@0:5,\\:tbxi" message I can still press the "alt" key and it shows me the retry arrow, the system harddrive labeled "Lorelai's comp", the system CD and the straight right arrow.... i try clicking on the harddrive and also on the CD icons to try to boot, but it only refreshes the screen changing from the traditional blue/purple background to a red-ish background and arrow/drive's buttons get funny colors...
i dont know what is going on....i dont think the imac is dead....i guess it has to do with that firmware booting default thing...
please help....
thanks in advance.

Hi again Kenichi,
Question: I've done that procedure yesterday, but i pressed the button for only 1 second 1 TIME ....can i make the procedure again despite if i did it 1 time before? or doing it again will crash the iMac forever?
About the black screen i told you before, here's the thing...if i place a battery on it and reset the nvram via keyboard commands or firmware commands, at the restart then is when the imac goes on black....BUT if i remove the battery, leave it there for a minute or 2, and then power it on, it goes to the firmware state again, ofcourse with good video on it....i dont think it has a video problem...but i dont understand why when making the reset procedures with a battery on the iMac this black-non starting screen keeps going...
Thanks in advance.

Boot failure: Digital signature not found

Just bought a Toshiba Satellite C885D-S5320 and it was working great. Packed it up this morning, unpacked it a few seconds later and tried to turn it on. Got a message that reads "Boot failure: a proper digital signature was not found. One of the files on the selected boot device was rejected by the Secure Boot feature."
I didn't make a recovery disk but tried to use the hidden recovery feature I'd found out here. Worked great to abou 76%, then that message came up again. Help???

Re: SATELLITE C855D-S5320 Help me please!

I bought the same computer from Walmart for my daughter for Christmas. I have had to send it in three times to have the hard drive fixed as it showed the same error that you were getting. I was very mad as the first time I had to pay $25 to have them ship me the box to send it in to them. I also tried at first to return it back to Walmart but was told it was to late and I would have to go through Toshiba. I just received it back again today. They have had to replace the hard drive three times. This is ridiculous as I have had several other computers and laptops and have never had to have a hard drive replaced before. I told them I was not paying the last two times to send it in for repair as it should never of had to go to them the first time. The girl did send me the box free the last two times but honestly I think they should just give me a whole new computer as I think these ones are lemons! I cannot believe a brand new computer would need to have a hard drive replaced 3 times in 5 months! The girl advised me if it had to go back again they would probably finally do something. I sure hope your is working better then mine.

Droid Razr AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure)

Hi everyone,
I have a Droid Razr (Not Maxx) and it is NOT rooted. I was taking pictures with it and it turned off on me. When I turned it back on, I got this message:
AP Fastboot Flash Mode (S) (Boot Failure)

eMC Info: Size 16GB
To return to normal mode-first press power key to power down
Device is LOCKED. Status Code: 0

I want to know if it's possible to to get my pictures and videos out of my phone in this condition. I did not use an SD card. Any help would be great. Thank you in advance!

Press the power off button and reboot your phone. Should be back to normal after re-starting. Hope this helps.

Boot Failure From Previous Device...

My computer has been out of commission for over a year now, and I finally bought a new hdd and some ram for it today.
My mobo says K8T Neo MS-6702 V.1 i'm not sure if that specifies what it is, but I don't have the box anymore.
I bought a 500gb Barracude from Seagate and jumped it to make it 1.5 and installed everything and when I turned it on I got the message "Boot Failure From Previous Device".
I tried taking the battery out of the mobo, letting it sit, and putting it back in and turning the system on. Then I set the boot sequence to Floppy, then the hd, and it still gives me the message.
I'm a completely idiot when it comes to computer problems before the operating system starts, so dumbing it down would be appreciated.
I've searched the error message and either I couldn't understand what to do, or the problem wasn't like mine.
I'm basically doing a fresh install of drivers, OS, and everything.
I start the computer up with the SATA driver in the floppy drive.

To install a fresh OS you need to have CD/DVD as 1st boot, not floppy, you should not need the SATA/RAID floppy if you are only going to use SATA drive with no RAID.
If your manual (or if you don't have one) doesn't have instructions for BIOS settings then you can download the PDF version here: http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=manual&maincat_no=1&prod_no=588
To gain access to BIOS when you 1st power up PC start tapping on 'Delete' key.

Boot Failure Issues

Thanks for any help that may come of this question. I'm not very fluent in the technical nitt gritty of computer hardware/software, but I've been using computers for years and I catch on quick. This goes for the "boot" problem I am getting.
My sytem crashed the other day after the northbridge cooling fan failed. I just finished replacing my northbridge cooling fan with a Vantec Iceberg and I tried to start up the computer. I did have to partially remove the motherboard to do this, so I had to disconnect several cables include the hard drive. I do believe, however, that all cbale s have been properly reconnected. When I power up, I see the color MSI logo pop up, it then appears to start "booting up", or whatever the next process is called. In doing so it gets to a point where it says:
Client Mac Add 00 0C 7615 4C E6
No Boot filename received
Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter
Not knowing what to do, I found a floppy MSI Bios Update Disk that I had made at some point and inserted this ( a mistake perhaps?) It flashed the bios, finished its work, and the problem still persisted. At one point I was able to get into a screen that appeared to show a boot order, and it had the CD ROM, another drive (forget which one), and LAN. But I did not see the hard drive listed. Am I correct in assuming that the issue is that the motherboard is trying to boot up the sytem, which it would normally do from the hard drive, however it cannot locate it?
I have started the process of searching these forums, and I found one that seemed to have the same issue but I had a little trouble understanding what they were getting at. Any help that can be offered would be greatly appreciated.

BOS, thanks for the help. The corrective action wasn't quite what you outlined, so hopefully you'll read this and just confirm that my actions were okay. I entered into a screen (forgot how I got there, F8?) that dealt with arrays. What is an arrary and what is the significance? One of the boot messages had mentioned that there was no array defined. So in this screen I defined the 1 array as my hard drive. And that was it. After that the system would load into windows? Was this a correct action to take? Because the BIOS had my HDD0 as the first boot source, but the error still persisted till I defined an array.
Also you asked me what the temp was. I don't know how to locate a temp specific to the northbridge chip. My PCAlert 4 shows a CPU temp of 50C and the system temp is 39C.
Also, in the manual for the motherboard, I noticed a FAQ that said you shouldn't connect a Vantec fan directly to motherboard because it draws to much power. So I connected right the PSU. This however, prevents PCAlert4 from being able to monitor its speed. Is this a problem? Is there a way around it?
Last thing, regarding my post to the fan thread, do you see a problem with the fan only set up on the chip?
Again, thanks for all the help.

yep thats other possiblities, for some reason your fastrack was lost array and need to be reconfigured. after seening the message: "No array defined" you should press "CTRL+F" to entire in a utility and to re-setuped like you already do. you have done correct.as boot priority HDD0 or SCSI.
"What is an arrary and what is the significance?"
SATA disk on your mainboard will be recognised only when its defined in array via Onboard Promise Controller.
"Also you asked me what the temp was. I don't know how to locate a temp specific to the northbridge chip. My PCAlert 4 shows a CPU temp of 50C and the system temp is 39C."
you can use Everest to observe it: (https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=100852.0) Example:
"Also, in the manual for the motherboard, I noticed a FAQ that said you shouldn't connect a Vantec fan directly to motherboard because it draws to much power. So I connected right the PSU.

that is the correct way. no FAN RPM monitoring is not problem. you have done best.
"Last thing, regarding my post to the fan thread, do you see a problem with the fan only set up on the chip?
Again, thanks for all the help."
nope should be fine if NB temp remain acceptable, if temeperature is normal. but with other copper vantec base should be lowest. basicly if your NB temp is good/low there is nothink to worry.
you are welcome mate.

DISK BOOT FAILURE: PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK....

Hi
I have exhausted two full days on the following problem so I would greatly appreciate some help. The problem I am experiencing is that the disk will not boot on its own. I receive the "DISK BOOT FAILURE: PLEASE INSERT SYSTEM DISK...." error when starting up. I have run chkdsk, i have run Western Digital Diagnostics for Dos (quick test) and no problems come up with the drive. I have also jumpered pins 5 and 6 to force the drive to run at SATA-I speeds. Now here's the curious part: The disk boots up and functions absolutely perfectly IF and ONLY IF, the bios is set to boot from my IDE drive. Now on the IDE drive I have a boot.ini file set up to allow me to boot the SATA drive instead. Using this work around (i.e. boot from IDE, select SATA drive from boot menu) the drive seems to work just fine. However if i change the bios back to boot from the SATA drive (and therefore use its own boot.ini) I receive the error again and the boot will not continue.
Here is my set up:
MSI K8T Neo2-F v2.0 motherboard (with latest BIOS).
Athlon 64 X2 4200+ dual core CPU
1024GB DDR 400 RAM
1 Western Digital 120GB IDE HD running on primary master.
1 Pioneer DVD-108 DVD-RW running on secondary master.
1 Western Digital 250GB (WD2500KS) running on SATA1.
Nividia GeForce 6800 running on AGP.
M-Audio Audiophile 2496 PCI
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS PCI
Originally the system was as above without the new WD2500KS drive. I then bought the new SATA drive and installed windows to it with the intention of clearing windows from the original IDE and making it a storage drive. The above workaround is how I completed installation of Windows XP and installed my other programs, otherwise when rebooting during installation the disk would fail again.
Another issue is that Windows will NOT designate the SATA as drive C. When disconnecting the IDE, the SATA will become "c:" but as soon as the IDE is plugged back in, it immediately claims "c:" again and the SATA becomes "d:". This is ascertained from running the Recovery Console and using 'map' for example. It is important that I get this to "c:" as I have programs which appear to look for files by an absolute path and will not find them on "d:".
I have also tried to 'fixmbr' and this is the only time I have seen any curious message. Using the workaround the disk works fine. But when I tried to 'fixmbr', the system warned that the disk had a non-standard boot record (or something to that effect). But in any case, boot seems fine so long as we're not booting it directly.
Finally, I should confirm that the BIOS is set to run the SATA in IDE mode and not SATA (although as a sanity check I have run it in RAID and the result is the same).
I have no idea at this stage whether the problem lies with the SATA drive or the motherboard. I have sent a copy of this to WD "for further troubleshooting", and am posting a copy here for any advice on the mobo side of things.
Many thanks

Thank you for your reply. You are right, I've just resolved the problem today and discovered that this was the case.
To close the topic and leave advice for anyone else facing similar difficulties I will sum up the progress since the initial post.
Having tried absolutely everything else, I thought "what happens if i make this sata c:?" so I decided to edit the registry and force a drive letter change to ensure that my SATA was "c:". After having done this the SATA for the first time successfully booted to the boot menu! However when loading up into Windows it kept hanging. So next I thought all I need to do is a repair install now, I disconnected the IDE to leave the SATA only and attempted this. Unfortunatley the repair install also kept hanging. The Microsoft support page detailing how to force the drive letter change does warn that doing so can mess everything up unless the problem occurred in some specific circumstances.
So a new install was in order. I hooked up the IDE again and booted from it, backed up all my files to the IDE, and then disconnected it again. Then booted from a Western Digital diagnostics disk and zero filled the SATA - this was more for my own sanity so as not to worry about dodgy MBR's and what not. Then booted from WINXP CD and formatted and reinstalled fresh.
Install was successful.
Hooked up IDE externally to dump back my backed up files. Then deleted the IDE's partition and formatted it. Powered down, connected the IDE internally again - booted from SATA successfully (now on c:)... the IDE was no longer recognised as a "system" disk in Disk Manager, so I gave it a drive letter and hey presto we're business again!! One SATA system disk on drive c: and one IDE storage drive!
SHORT VERSION: If you are adding an SATA drive to an IDE set up, and want the SATA to be your OS disk, unhook all the IDE's first... if the target drive is not in isolation when installing Windows, all kinds of problems can ensue which are very difficult to correct after the install.

MSI 975x disk boot failure

I have been having a problem lately with a 975x having disk boot failure once in a while. The system has 2 drives and a dvd writer. It's about 2.5 years old also. When this happens it doesn't see any drives. I've cleaned the filters, fans etc and sometimes during this it'll start working. Once it finds the drive it boots just fine and works fine. I don't think it's a drive as it can't find any of them.
This happens intermittently, and there is no pattern to what gets it working again. The case is well ventilated. I have 4 gig DDR2, the drives are SATA, core 2 duo 2.13 ghz.
I'm thinking the mother board is starting to go bad on me.
Does anyone have any other ideas?
Also if I change the board what is a good one in the newer models so I won't have to change a lot of other hardware?
I've not kept current on the advances in mother boards the last few years

Well I spoke too soon.
It did it again today. It started with a not responding message and on reboot it did not detect any drives the first time. In the bios it said none in all positions also. After Another reboot it identified the WD drive but not the Seagate drive. After sitting about 2 hours I rebooted with the Seagate drive unplugged and it came up just fine. I then put in 2 more drives and plugged in the Seagate drive and it worked just fine.
Any other ideas?
Do you think my suspecting a flaky MB is wrong?
Also whats a good MB for the hardware I have?

Does Z68A-G43(B3) support "Windows 8 feature" ?

I have a Video Card with GOP Supported
So i want to install Windows 8/8.1 with UEFI boot on a GPT SSD.
UEFI BOOT with GOP support, MSI call it "Windows 8 feature"; ASROCK ASUS they call it "ultra fast boot"
but i cann't find it in Z68A-G43(B3) lastest...

Any suggestions? This am had 2.2 macbookpro boot failure, no tone, screen flashes, goes grey, faint fan noise. Just installed Sibelius 5.0. Running MacOS 10.7. up to date. This machine had been getting slow, but we are on DSL..

Howdy,
I'm guessing from the version number that you mention that you're running a 64-bit OS. The older BIOS versions are at the bottom of this page:

I haven't had occasion to try a downgrade so I'm not sure if the installer will fuss about that.
[edit] Re-read the notes and that link is for both 32 and 64 bit operating systems. Here's the bootable CD link if you prefer that method:

Z68A-G43 No Core Voltage setting?

Hi all
Well my mobo was crashing all the time with my Q6600 @ 3.4ghz so I went ahead and got a Z68A-G43, i5 2500k and 8gb of 1600mhz G-Skill Ripjawx ram.
I've noticed though....the BIOS has no setting to change core voltage, neither does MSI Control Centre or Click Bios in Windows. So...does this board have no setting for to change it I ask? I mean it may be low down in the range but £75 is a bit tall for budget board is it not? I've got a rock solid 4.5ghz overclock..I can't boot into Windows with 4.6ghz but if I use control centre I can get it solid in Windows at 4.6ghz @ an auto voltage of 1.386v (I mean I've literally thrown everything at it and its not choked).
It would be nice to try and push for 4.7ghz if I could just give it a bit of Vcore myself! Cheers

A solid OC of 4,5GHz on the budget Z68 offering ? Mere mortals would be over the moon to boast with such an OC, what is it, 30% ? It's always that tiny bit extra we all want, and when we have it, sometimes we don't know what to do with it.
Most of us run our boards around that OC to maintain the full power saving feature. Sandy Bridge has this unwanted side effect, whenever you manually set the VCore, it will remain there, no matter what, even in idle.
But you are welcome to check with MSI technical if it's even possible to introduce this via a BIOS change in the future. I doubt it. >>How to contact MSI.<<
Believe me, the 2500K above 4,6GHz generates mostly heat and the gain in performance becomes insignificant.
