Z77A-GD55, no POST after BIOS change

Hello all -- a few days ago I put together my new build using the Z77A-GD55 (I can give full specs if desired, but it's not like it doesn't work) and everything worked great. I installed Windows 8, configured stuff, played games, etc. No performance problems at all. Last night I went into the BIOS to make a minor change to let the network adapter wake the PC from standby. I enabled a power setting I found and when I saved the settings and rebooted the BIOS, the PC wouldn't boot. No BIOS, no POST, no nothing. The fans were whirring and the LEDs were on (and everything stayed in this state until I cut power), but nothing happened on the monitor (the monitor works fine on another PC, by the way). I tried removing my PCI devices (wifi adapter and graphics card) and the hard drives, but nothing different happened. I removed all the RAM and then tried it with just one in, but both of those put it on a loop where everything would lose power within a few seconds and then try again. I cleared CMOS from the button on the input panel to no avail. I've since put the RAM and the hard drives back in (PCI devices still out) and I'm back to my initial no POST situation. I also tried putting a bootable flash drive in, just in case, but got nowhere.
The only thing I haven't removed is the processor, but because it only failed after I made a BIOS change, I'm still inclined to believe that that's not the problem (though I will do it when I have time tonight). Does anyone have any suggestions to fix this? If at all possible I'd like to get this fixed without replacing the motherboard because I won't be able to get a refund (I regrettably submitted the rebate when everything was working, so no returns), but I understand that that may not be possible.
Thanks!

Remove the battery and short the JBAT1 pins for about 10 seconds with the power cord removed then retest.
If no help, please provide a full list of components.
Shorted the JBAT1 to no avail. Restarted after a few seconds the first time (I assume this is a result of the CMOS having being cleared), but after that it was the same. Still nothing on the screen. My components are as follows:
Board: MSI Z77A-GD55
BIOS: Not sure, whatever comes standard
VGA: Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7850
PSU: Antec HCG-620M
CPU: Intel Core i5-3350P Ivy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.3GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 69W
MEM: Team Elite 4x2GB TED32048M1333C9
HDD: Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9320423AS 320GB (reused from old laptop)
SSD: Corsair Force Series GT CSSD-F90GBGT-BK
WIFI: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800
OS: Windows 8 64-bit Professional
I really appreciate any help!

Neo Platinum won't post after BIOS change...

I changed a few BIOS settings in my machine. Everything was working fine before; all I switched (to my recollection) was changing the boot order and also switching from Manual to Automatic for High Performance Timings (named something like that).
After doing this, the machine won't even POST; I get a ~2 second long beep shortly after turning the machine on, and this beep repeats with a ~2 second pause between each beep.
I have tried:
- taking out the memory in bank 2
- taking out both DIMMs
- doing the JBAT1 CMOS reset (pins 1-2 going to 2-3)
- doing the 'remove the battery' CMOS reset
- doing both the JBAT1 and battery reset approaches, leaving it in 2-3 and battery out all last night
After all of these, there was no change -- I still get the beeps.
D-Bracket seems to have the bottom left light red, and the rest green, if I recall.
Any guesses? Thanks.

Ah, to clarify -- I looked at the Basic Troubleshooting Guide for the exact description of what the D-Bracket is showing. It looks to be "Initializing Keyboard Controller".
Maybe someone else knows -- in the list of all of the D-Bracket codes -- which are meant to be green and which are meant to be red? (As the page has white and black..so I'm trying to confirm that I'm right in mapping correctly between white/black and red/green; if my mapping is backwards, then it really means "Assign Resources to all ISA").
As for possible memory issues -- if I hadn't changed anything in the BIOS other than memory timings -- wouldn't resetting the CMOS have gone back to default timings (which were working a-ok until I made that BIOS change). (Plus, I don't have any other RAM, so I'm looking for other things to also try

Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 stuck on toshiba logo after bios change

My Toshiba Satellite p75-A7200 is stuck on toshiba logo after bios change.
entered bios fine changes from UEFI to CSM boot and now i cannot enter bios or boot past toshiba logo.
Ive tried F2 tapping and holding while powering up the laptop(tried every Fkey,DEL,ESC, with and without FN key)
cannot re-enter bios.
Also i tried to run the bios update cd created multiple 1.50 1.40 even 1.00, it doesnt seem to read any media.
i tried holding C, FN+C and f and just about every key on the keyboard to get something to work. i had dvd as top of boot priority for a while now so i shouldnt have to try f12 or holding C before boot but i tried . it doesnt seem to read any media
i tried windows 8 install cd, Ubuntu, centos, nothing goes past toshiba logo and no errors, i dont get the non bootable device error so its seems to not be reading the dvd. (dvd does spin and make read noises) im trying to find my usb floppy drive to try a floppy version but it acts like its not reading any media.
I also pulled the HDD and all usb devices to make the dvd the only media available and with the HDD out it spins then toshiba logo then black screen with solid white horizontal curser on top left of screen.(only happens when hdd out)
is there some type of key combination that will force a bios update or a crisis recovery mode for bios.
I also Pulled the battery for 2 solid days(battery,cmos battery, and power supply and held power button for about 10 mins while watching tx to make sure the thing was drained before the 2 day sit with no power at all.
this happened the second i changed from UEFI to CSM boot so its not a motherboard problem or anything like that because all was well before this setting change.
I already pulled the HDD and backed it up to another drive and swapped it to elimiate that.
any ideas on a secret key combo to force a bios read from dvd or usb or anythng.
or another combo that im just missing to enter bios after CSM boot.
UPDATE
to do a crisis recovery on this laptop
1 get a usb stick and format it in fat or fat32
2 download "7zip" and install it if you dont have it.
3 download bios from toshiba website.
4 run the installer for bios but dont choose and option just close it we just want to extract the files to the location normally c:\splnvxxx where xxx is the version number like 150
5 goto the installed locaion "c:\splnv150" or whatever number.
6. find file os2014273a_150 or something similar. it will be an application, it will end in version number _150, and it will also have a disc image file of the same name. but we want the app.
7. right click on it and you should have an option 7zip then extract
once extracted there is a folder now archesxxxxxx_bios_v150_win
8 copy the bios file located in archesxxxxxblahblah/X64/BIOS.fd , BIOS.fd is the bios and just copy that to a BLANK usb thumb drive that was formatted with fat or fat32.
9. put usb into your satellite and unplug the power from it.
10 holding FN + ESC key together plug the power back in and press power button.
11. release keys FN and ESC if all is right it will have the power button and led on from blink abut every 1 second while it searches for the bios. once its done it will reboot and you should be good to go.
if it keeps cycling with the power button then the bios is named wrong or something is not right with the usb. try reformatting it again and make sure that the bios file is the ONLY thing on the drive.

Ok a little research and digging into the bios exe downloaded from toshiba shows this has INSYDE BIOS witch should have a recovery process wich i prepared a usb stick with just the bios.fd on it found some post around toshiba forums with different models using win +B or Fn + F but neither of these worked for me to force bios update
anyone with this model know the key combo to force recovery

Msi z77a-gd55 xmp missing after add ram

hi
i have msi z77a-gd55
at start i have 2 stick of ram of kingston khx1600c9d3 and i have the option to set xmp mode
but now i install two other stick of ram the same ram buy from kingston
i have done a clear cmos
and the computer boot without problem
but in the msi bios the xmp option desappear and i don't know why
my bios is up to date
anyone have an idea

I know this is not a new tread.but i have the same proublem with my MB msiZ77A i put in 2 sticks of
kingston 8meg each at 2133mhz.and mb, is only showing 1333.at the top of screen.I went down the
screen and Changed the Freq from 1333 to 2133 and clicked Save and shut off the computer. I re booted
and went back to look and at the top of the screen it still says ddr Freq is 1333. but when you scroll down
you can see that the new Freq of 2133 is their.
Shouldnt the bios see that i changed the speed?and also show the NEW speed of 2133.

Posting to Accounting: Retroactive Posting after a change in the GL account

Hello all,
i would like to ask you about a problem that we face in a live system throught the integration HR-FI. We have already run live posting to accounting until the end of November. But, the client wants us to change the account of a wage type. We have created a new symbolic account because the new account is an expense account whereas the previous account was a balance sheet account. We have used also the user exit in RPCIPE00 as we have different employee groupings in our system. The problem is that when we run posting to accounting for December and there is retroactive calculation the system debit/credit again the old wage type again without having results in December for this wage type.
Customizing :
01.2010-11.2010 DEBIT : X1(BALANCE SHEET)
                            CREDIT: Z1
122010-12.9999 DEBIT : X2(EXPENSE ACCOUNT)
                            CREDIT: Z1
Example:
11.2010 -> Payroll calculation for WT01:100 EUROS. Posting of this WT01: Debit : X1 (100EUROS) Account ,Credit : Z1 Account ((100EUROS)
12.2010 -> Retroactive calculation for november for other wage types. Not WT01. But in the posting to accounting for WT01 there is debit/credit. Note: After 01.12 we have the change in the posting customizing of this WT01.
              DEBIT                CREDIT
X1                                  (100EUROS)
Z1      (100EUROS)       (100EUROS)
X2      (100EUROS)
How can i stop the retroactive posting that takes place after the change? This wage type WT01 SHOULD NOT be posted in December.
I am looking forward to your feedback.
Thank you in advance.
Sissi

Thank you for your quick response.
I have already delimited Wage Type WT01 and used the new symbolic account:
Customizing :
01.2010-11.2010       DEBIT : X100 Symbolic (BALANCE SHEET)
                                  CREDIT: Z100 Symbolic
12.2010-12.9999        DEBIT : X200 Symbolic(EXPENSE ACCOUNT)
                                  CREDIT: Z100 Symbolic
FI: X100 symbolic Linked to X1 ACCOUNT
     X200 symbolic Linked to X2 ACCOUNT(NEW ONE)
     Z100 symbolic Linked to Z1 Account
The problem is that after posting for December i have 100 euros as debit in Account X2 (the new account) and 100 euros in the old account X1 as credit. IN Z1 account i have no problem as the result is zeroed. According to the customer, they should not have these amounts in X1,X2 accounts as there is no retro-calculation for this specific WType.
Accounts                  DEBIT                     CREDIT
X1   :                                <->                   (100EUROS as CREDIT)
Z1   :                    (100EUROS as DEBIT)               (100EUROS as CREDIT)
X2   :                   (100EUROS as DEBIT)                         <->
I hope the schema above will depict how the posting is performed after the change in account of the wage type.
So, you suggest that this cannot be ceased as the system works in this way?
Thank you a lot.
Sissy.

Z77a-GD55 no post new build

Hi,
i just tried posting on the z77a-gd55 board with just the cpu(i5 3570k) 1 stick of ram and it doesnt post.
it gets stuck in a boot loop. it powers on for like 5sec then restarts. the cpu fan works and i am using a corsair tx750v2 psu.
any idea what it could be?
i tried moving the ram to dimm 1 and still the same and same with dimm2

Please post your full system spec >>Posting Guide<<
Test the board outside your case, placing it on a non conducting surface, i.e. plain piece of cardboard or untreated wood.
Have you done a full CMOS clear with power cord removed ? >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
If testing outside the case does not solve the issue, then do a CPU socket inspection for bent pins.

Z77-GD55 not posting after Win8 Update

Hi folks,
i´m in need of help as i am done with my knowledge here. After i updated my PC to Win8 it sometimes didn´t boot up. After 4x-8x restarting unplugging etc it went back to working normal. Today it got stuck in a boot loop. Before the update i swapped the memory sticks into different banks, as otherwise the heatsink wouldn´t fit, so now they are sitting in bank 2 and 4. Besides that the Soundcard went from the uper PCIe slot in one of the lower ones. I already tried swapping memory modules, disconnetcing all devices, unplugging GPU, HDD, and the Sound Card. Result so far is either a boot loop, meaning the PC seemingly powers up, all vents running and then restarts or inbetween i got a 3x times beep. Now i´m cluelesse.
Any ideas ?
Thanks a lot !!

Quote from: Bernhard on 20-February-14, 18:01:34
Strange analysis and assumption indeed.
You had a working board. You load the OS and now it doesn't work. The only known change was the OS.
With Win8 not being able to write and embed its serial key to the BIOS, I wouldn't be surprised if that caused BIOS corruption.
I think he indicated that he broke it trying to fix this issue. It just wouldn't load the OS then he re-seated everything and it boot looped.

G530-4446-24U takes FOREVER to POST after BIOS update

Hey,
I just installed Win7 Pro 64-bit a couple of hours ago and lost the ability to adjust my screen brightness. After installing chipset and power management drivers I still had no luck. So I updated the BIOS with this file.
Now it all works well once I'm booted into Win7, but it takes a very long time to POST when I push the power button. I haven't timed it, but it seems to be over 60 seconds before I have anything displayed on my screen. When it does start POST, it works fine at the expected speed. It also restarts when attempting to wake from sleep, and the same problem as mentioned above applies as it must POST again.
Is there a more appropriate BIOS update for my machine, or is this a terrible bug that must be worked out?
Thanks in advance.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I couldnt flash either from Windows 7 pro x64. I ended up using BartsPE to run the flashing program. I dont have the speed issue, it boots up with the same speed it always did. you should make sure you used the right BIOS. i had the problem once, but it seems to be working now. I still havent gotten the Brightness to work though.
as for the "Cannot load driver C:\Drivers\BIOS\6get18ww\PHLASHNT.SYS. Please check your accounts, if you have no administrator privilige, please login again! This driver has been blocked from loadingError code: 1275" message, this is because it uses a 32 bit driver. You cant use these drivers under 64 bit. my solution worked really well. if you want to use and need help configuring the PE, i can help.

Satellite A100-TA7 hangs at POST after BIOS update

Being kind of tech swavy, i know my chances are very low in fixing this but here goes.
I decided to update the BIOS on my Toshiba Satellite A100-TA7(PSAA8C-TA702C) laptop to the latest version available (6.00).
I did this because I've heard of people have better luck in making their FN keys work in linux with the newer BIOS.
The installation finished normally(went through all the steps, wrote all 21 blocks) without any errors but after rebooting I noticed that it now hangs at the Toshiba logo screen.
The blue progress bar moves twice but then gets stuck about 1/3 of the way through.
In order to see how bad the damage was, I pressed esc at the beginning of POST and saw that it gives me the right BIOS Version (6.00).
It also tells me that "No TPM or TPM has problem", and "2039M System RAM Passed."
It then displays the message "Press <F2> to enter SETUP" (which makes the message disappear, but otherwise does nothing.
If i press f2 during the Toshiba logo screen, it replaces the message at the bottom with "Please wait" and nothing happens even after waiting an hour.
(Which makes sense because before the whole blue bar would load before going into the CMOS settings). The thing is that the BIOS doesn't really "freeze", It just gets stuck at one specific place (I know this because i can press F2 even after waiting an hour and the laptop does respond to it by displaying "Please Wait".
Anyone have any more things i could try? Thank you
PS. I tried clearing the CMOS too. (By holding the power button for like 60 seconds without any power source <--- I'm not sure if this is how you do it on this laptop so any info would be nice). And I'm also 100% sure i chose the right BIOS update and followed every single instruction.

Hello Greg
I am very happy to hear you have solved this BIOS issue but I must react because of some your statements here. I do not have timet to do some research but let us write about some facts. I use Toshiba notebooks over 10 years now and I think I can say that I am pretty experienced with all this stuff.
Toshiba sold hundred thousand laptops and I can really not imagine that this can be some common problem because, I presume, all offered stuff on download page is tested. If 0.5% cases are the same it does not mean there is general problem. What you think how many people use the same BIOS update as you? I guess thousands of them.
About Linux support I can say the same as Eldorado. Sorry but I am afraid you do not understand what the support is. Just some facts:
Toshiba does not offer drivers for Linux OS
Toshiba does not offer tools and utilities for Linux
Toshiba does not offer BIOS for Linux
Toshiba does not test anything relevant for Linux functionality (very important for support)
With short words: there is nothing for Linux. If you can install Linux successfully and use it without problems you are very lucky guy and be happy, but there is definitely no support.
If you exchange experiences with other people it is really good and you should do this in the future but if you hear something and later something goes wrong it is your problem.
At the end I can say that this is user-to-user forum and you should be happy if someone here want to discuss about your problem and try to help. If you are not satisfied with comments or opinions it is your problem and if you want professional opinion you know very well where you can get it.
Have a nice day.

Neo Platinum, No POST after Bios flash to v1.9

Ive got a K8n neo platinum board, and my system has been runnin fine for months now, but today after i updated my Bios to 1.9 using the msi updater tool my system wont post. The D-bracket2 has the following pattern
RED OFF
Green OFF
2 of the lights are off? and there isnt a code for this in the manual. Also, just as the bracket light sequence haults, there is a flash from the light near the ethernet port on the mobo? If the Bios is wrecked what are the steps that need to be taken? is there any way to fix at home or does it need to be sent to a factory?
Many thanks.

I'd say it's time to flash it using the bootdisk method
See syar2003's posting:

P7n platinum no post after cpu change

Just built a new rig, got it up to post screen and freezes.bios is version 1.1. I have read all other posts about this particular problem for p7n platinum and tried all the recommended solutions, none avail.
Tried to flash to bios 1.2 with floppy but floppy didn't boot.
Changed to e2140 cpu, even worse, no screen whatsoever. fans, lights, etc. are running.
Reverted back to the e8400. no screen as well. Checked for bent pins and power connections, all seems fine. Before changing cpu's, it will show the post screen but freezes there.
Time to send back to the reseller?

If your system will boot up with another PSU, what would that tell you about your current one? It is either defective or incompatible. In the first case the problem can be fixed by replacing it and in the second case you'll need a better PSU. One that does not have known grounding/compatibility issues.
ok. But correct me if i am wrong, the first few times booting with the e8400, it will show the screen, doesn't that tell that the PSU is ok with the MOBO?

Z68A-GD55 Overclock Issues after Bios 25.8

Hi all,
I have a PC I built 2 years ago for my son, which was essentially a Z68a-GD55 motherboard, with a Core i5 2500k CPU and a pair of GTX460s in SLI. It's been lovely for 2 years, until my son opted to upgrade the graphics cards to a single GTX770.
The system would not boot with the card installed, so I removed it, booted using the internal graphics capabilities and after a google showing similar symptoms as mine but with a GTX680 decided the Bios needed a flash to the latest version. I can't recall, but I think I was on N70 or something (I declined to take note of what it was - sorry). Anyway, I successfully flashed to 25.8 which seems to be the latest version (aside, the only thing I ever really did on the machine was occasional run Live Update and update the NVIDIA drivers etc - Live Update insisted I was already on the latest BIOS, and I had to hit the MSI site directly to note there was a newer version - odd).
Anyway, the update was successful, although it did seem to utterly wipe my (modest) overclock settings and store profiles. I don't recall exactly what I had, but essentially it was something like a 45/46 multiplier with XMP enabled and no fiddling of any voltage or timing settings. It worked fine. But since upgrading, I have been unable to replicate it in the same way. Whilst I have managed to get a stable overclock of x44 and XMP, it is not reading right in the OS.
The problem I am having is that the clock settings/multiplier/turbo boost/whatever is not behaving as it was before. Before, it would happily drop down to 16x multiplier without load, and associated temps/voltages/fan speeds etc would correspondently drop. But now I cannot make heads or tails of what it is doing with regards to power saving. if I run CPU-Z (latest version as of today) it shows the CPU with a clock speed or 16-44, and the current speed as either 16, or 44, with nothing in between. The Intel Turbo Boost Monitor tool shows it dropping to the bottom, then turbo boosting to 4200, 4300, or 4400, then back down again when I introduce load. The Control Center utility (which is the only way I know of to view individual core clock speeds) typically shows them running at 44x, although occasionally one or more will drop down into the high 30s etc. The worrying thing is that they *NEVER* agree with each other, and even when CPU-Z is showing 16x, Control Center is showing all cores at 44x etc. In addition, after benchmarking the system with 3DMark11, it is now reporting my CPU with a "stock clock speed" of 4.4Ghz, rather than the proper 3.3Ghz that all my old results presented.
I have tried some messing in the Bios, I turned off "Enhanced Turbo" which was never there on the previous Bios version, but I note that the Turbo Boost values are still showing at 37/36/35/34 for 1/2/3/4 cores respectively, which is seems to be ignoring.
The question is, how can I restore a modest overclock on this machine, that utilises proper power saving, and correctly reports CPU usage and capabilities?
Many thanks

Well the OC is working, in fact after some further fiddling I have a base OC of 44x that Turbo Boost reports as being 16-63, and single core boosts have now gone up to 4.9 occasionally, so the speed is there, I am more worried about whether is actually is essentially running at either 16x or 44x constantly, and if not, which monitoring tool is wrong? What's the definitive way of showing per core clock speeds in real time? As it stands it seems as though when gaming the CPU is going to be clocked at 44x permanently, rather than fluctuate properly with load (i.e. the slightest bit of CPU activity bumps it from 16 to 44 when seen in CPU-Z, Control Center has then barely ever shifting off 44x at all, but the intel Turbo Boost Monitor does seem to show the sort of behaviour power wise that I want, albeit as a simplistic bar graph without labelled axis...
If it's stepping up and down properly and just reporting it wrong, I'm happy. If it's genuinely running at full clock speeds essentially all the time I'm not.
I would happily go back to the latest Sandy Bridge Bios (I don't understand what the ME firmware is, but I updated my ME drivers in Live Update from 7x to 9x to no avail) if someone can provide me with the file and instructions.
Many thanks again.

K8n neo2 no post after bios flash

I have a K8n Neo2 Platinum that I recently flashed with beta 1.52 bios. I was trying to see if the beta bios would fix some problems I was having. After I rebooted it would not post. I cant even get into bios, let alone re-flash it. I tried resetting the cmos, but nothing happened. This is what happens:
I turn on the computer
My fans and led's light up
2 or 3 seconds later it turns off
My D-Bracket 2 shows green in #2 and green in #3, which, according to my manual means Processor Initialization.
My question is whether flashing my bios could have fried my CPU??? I ordered a new bios chip and will replace my chip with the new one, but this message from my d-bracket is scaring me!! Any help would be appreciated.
Gabriel

hi gabrielloewen ,
I'd try unplugging everything but the minimum, CPU, Grfx Card & 1 memory Module.
carefully follow Clear CMOS with jumper JBAT1 Make sure you leave the jumper on discharge for as long as specified, it's easy when your worried to do it to quickly. The continuous beeping is normal with memory removed. see Award Bios Beep codes in Main Menu - No Post/No Boot problems and fixes
If that works add back your drives etc.,
If that brings no success & you find no other solution you won't lose but may gain by following 5-2) Clear CMOS settings by removing battery in the last link leave the battery out overnight, & try again tomorrow (Minimum parts again.)
luck

K9NU Neo no post after bios flash

Hello all
processor Athlon64X2 4200+
I had flashed the bios with the liveupdate in a Windows XP session to update v1.7 to 1.9.
On reboot, no post: nothing on the screen, just the 3 keyboard leds flashing 1 seconde. No beep.
I have tried to clear bios setup with jumper JBAT1 : nothing.
I downloaded the bios v1.7, putted it on a floppy disk, rename it AMIBOOT.ROM, powered up my computer with CTRL HOME down : the floppy had reading for about 20 secondes; when stop reading, nothing: no beep, just the keyboard leds flashing.
I had tried with 2 different floppies, several times: nothing. I have tried a boot disk : it has reading for 5 secondes, beep 4 times, reading 5 seconde, beep 4 times, ... in loop.
Is my motherboard dead ? Help me please

Quote from: Stu on 03-February-09, 01:47:26
Now you see why we don't recommend using Live Update in Windows to flash the BIOS! Were any errors reported during the flash procedure?
Yes I see; but I had read nothing about when i started the liveupdate in Windows: I'm french and i understand sometimes wrong.
But I don't understand why I can't restore a bios with the floppy. If I will must change my motherboard, it will be no a MSI.

New Z77A-GD55 no POST

HI,
Kit of parts for new PC arrived yesterday but can't get it to boot, no POST, no video out whatsoever.
I've tried VGA and HDMI outputs (tried them separately as well as at the same time) on 2 different monitors with two different of each different cables (both cables and monitors are known good).
CPU phase LEDs all light, CPU fan spins up, 1 very short beep is given which sounds like the usual "happy" beep.
I've tried each of 4 DIMMs one at a time in sockets 1 and 2 as well as 2 and 4 DIMMS fitted together. As expected, if I remove all DIMMs and power up I get warning beeps (3 long if I remember correctly).
I've tried a CMOS reset and removed/reseated the CPU.
I've brought home a high qualilty calibrated DMM from work and measured the following voltages:
PSU outputs measured 24 way main power connector
Red 5.1186V
Yellow 12.005V
(I can measure the other colours if necessary)
PSU outputs measured on old style disc drive connector
Red 5.1241V
Yellow 12.012V
PSU seems good from the above measurements.
Measured on the test points next to the main power connector:
Pin 6,7 GND
Pin 5 PCH_1P05 1.0487V
Pin 4 VCC_DDR 1.5096V
Pin 3 CPU_GFX 0.0018V
Pin 2 CPU_VTT 1.0541V
Pin 1 VCCP 1.1904V
Obviously pin 3 looks wrong (not sure what the rest are supposed to be but they look reasonable), is this an RMA job?

Did you clear the cmos after trying the sb cpu?
Bottom line
1.) Try different ram
2.) Make sure there are no shorts, perhaps even put it on a non-conductive surface to test (the mobo)
3.) Could try your other computers psu just to be sure.
If you checked all these then you probably are due for rma.
I've cleared the CMOS every time I've changed anything. Shorts aren't the problem, the board is on top of a cardboard box.
Tried the new PSU in my other machine, it boots up reliably with the 3 hard drives, DVD drive and discrete GT430 attached, I think the PSU is fine.
Tried the PSU and RAM from the other machine with the new MSI mobo, that got it back to the original state of all LEDs, short beep but no video, no voltage on pin 3 as per my OP (only tried it once for 1 minute).
Switched the new PSU back to the new MSI board, sometimes it goes back to the original state (all LEDs, short beep, no video), sometimes just the brief LED1 flash, sometimes it seems to loop after a few seconds.
Will contact the shop tomorrow, think the whole lot is being sent back

Z77A-GD55, no POST after BIOS change
