Hi, according to your mobo manual it supports SATA1/SATA2 hard drives so it's recommended to update BIOS, the latest I found it has release date 2006-06-29, you can find it in the folllowing link: Support For K8MM MSI Global
When you power on does it beep once and then seem like it boots even though you can't see the screen? Does the caps lock light on the keyboard (if you have one) toggle on and off when you press the key?
Hi, Sounds like an OS( operating system prob ), get into the bios set up and set the boot sequence to D:( dvd/cd rom ) first and save it upon exit. Put the Win7 or any operating system that you use and let it run, read the instructions carefully. Hope that helps!
Remove the power cord from the back and then take out the motherboard battery for half an hour (you need to remove the side panel from the case to access the motherboard) after the half hour is up pop the battery back in and connect the power cord, see if that resolves the problem. The fact that you can hear 1 beep indicates that all is fine so I doubt you have fried the BIOS chip. Also, if you have a stand alone graphics card installed remove that and clean the contacts, then reinsert it.
1. your issue sounds as if the mother board and or the power supply needs replacement 2. this PC possible need service. 3. there could be a hard drive issue also.
First of all never update or install the new bios.. plz let it be geniune .. another thing is that you have to now do the following which might help.. not sure but should
Open the case
look for the jumper on the mother board.
when found take it out
and the reboot or boot your machine
then check if bios options and windows have started
if windows does not appear then install new OS recommended windows 7.
after this plug the jumper back into the motherboard back.
Now this won't work then it can posibly have damaged you motherboard...
Check CMOS battery(Coin shaped battery), it should show 2.5-3V, if not then replace and check, you can even try and test the mbd without the CMOS battery. Some mbd does not boot with a faulty CMOS battery.
Hi, at the boot up go into your bios
[ on MSI press the delte key continuosly] and turn OFF the onboard virus protection. This can block all O/S from loading as they need to write to the bios in the installation process.
Ensure you turn it back on after installation, it is there to stop hackers getting into your bios and wrecking your system.
