NO POST after flash update
Posted: Tue Mar 25, 2008 6:59 am
Hi, I am new here.
I am having problem with my MSI K8T Neo. NO POST.
Originally my system was:
Mobo MSI K8T Neo with AThlon64 3000+
2X 512 MB DDR 400
ATI 9600 AGP 8X 128 MB
ASUS DVD R/W 16X
200 GB SATA drive
Windows XP Home
It's been running fine for more than 2 years until the SATA drive failed and I have an 80 GB IDE drive that I think I could use.
So I removed the SATA and install the IDE drive. The drive was recognized in BIOS. So Istarted XP Home install on the drive (yes I did press F6 to install VIA SATA/IDE driver from floppy). The installation failed, XP keeps restarting at the first reboot.
I thought my IDE drive could be faulty, I tried to install XP on that drive in different PC and installation went smoothly.
Thinking it's BIOS issue I get a new BIOS A6702VMS.710 dated March 2006 which is newer than my original A6702VMS dated April 2005.
After flashing it I got the message flash was successfull. I then restart my computer and it would not boot, single short beep and this message:
....
Press Shift F10 to configure.......
Message disappears after few seconds and only black screen on monitor.
This is what I have tried so far:
(With power OFF, power unplug)
-Remove battery for 1 hour, retry, still fail.
-Position JBAT1 to 2-3 for few minutes, put back JBAT1 to 1-2, retry, still fail.
-Rename the file on floppy from A6702VMS.710 to AMIBOOT.ROM then power on the computer followed by pressing CTRL+HOME keys, same thing only message "Press Shift F10 to configure.." then black. There is no sign of floppy drive being accessed at all. The keyboard NUMLOCK is ON, which makes me think that the POST has been performed.
I really do not know what else to check/try, any advise would be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your attention and time to read this post.
Best regards
