As topic states, I downloaded an update and installed it in windows mode, once the computer restarted the monitor does not turn on, the mouse flashes its lights once, and thats it. Nothing else pops up, I removed the cmoss to see if that would work, didnt seem to do anything,

I read the clear the cmoss guide, and nothing changed.

have you removed the power cord from the PSU 1st?

sasdas · « **Reply #4 on:** 25-June-11, 01:07:55 »

Yes, I removed the cable first.

Svet · « **Reply #5 on:** 25-June-11, 01:08:35 »

leave one memory stick only in 1st dimm close to cpu socket, then try to boot

sasdas · « **Reply #6 on:** 25-June-11, 01:27:32 »

Ok, that worked, right now, I'm looking at the Cmoss setup utility, can u explain to me what I should do from here?
Also, how does removing one RAM card do this?

Svet · « **Reply #7 on:** 25-June-11, 01:29:02 »

Apply 2T Command rate, then save and exit.
the turn it off, and add the second stick again and try to boot

sasdas · « **Reply #8 on:** 25-June-11, 01:34:15 »

I'm sorry, I don't see 2Tcommand rate

Svet · « **Reply #9 on:** 25-June-11, 01:35:27 »

look in your mainboard manual

sasdas · « **Reply #10 on:** 25-June-11, 01:45:42 »

I changed the command rate to 2T, then added the second RAM, it went to black screen again.

Svet · « **Reply #11 on:** 25-June-11, 02:31:42 »

Make sure that they run at 1333MHz

sasdas · « **Reply #12 on:** 25-June-11, 02:35:22 »

It says that the frequency is at 1333

Svet · « **Reply #13 on:** 25-June-11, 02:36:21 »

did you use correct DIMM slots when you use both of them?

sasdas · « **Reply #14 on:** 25-June-11, 02:37:41 »

Before I moved it to 1, I had used 2 and 4, and now I'm trying 1 and 3

Svet · « **Reply #15 on:** 25-June-11, 02:50:13 »

and.?

sasdas · « **Reply #16 on:** 25-June-11, 02:53:12 »

Nothing, I went and changed the frequency and manually changed it to 1333, but it did not do anything.

Svet · « **Reply #17 on:** 25-June-11, 02:53:52 »

try second memory stick alone in the 1st dimm close slot

sasdas · « **Reply #18 on:** 25-June-11, 02:55:51 »

I had tried it in the 4th one, it worked by itself

Svet · « **Reply #19 on:** 25-June-11, 02:56:28 »

flash back to your old bios where both of them worked fine together

sasdas · « **Reply #20 on:** 25-June-11, 02:58:44 »

Ok, well I don't know which one it was, and also I don't know how to flash it, only doing it from windows

Svet · « **Reply #21 on:** 25-June-11, 03:00:14 »

what is current bios version installed?

sasdas · « **Reply #22 on:** 25-June-11, 03:01:10 »

How do I find out?

Svet · « **Reply #23 on:** 25-June-11, 03:01:37 »

look in bios setup, system information

sasdas · « **Reply #24 on:** 25-June-11, 03:06:04 »

V17.12

Svet · « **Reply #25 on:** 25-June-11, 03:07:49 »

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
and flash back step back one by one until it can work with both sticks:

start from HA, if no change, go to H9 and so on.

sasdas · « **Reply #26 on:** 25-June-11, 04:15:48 »

I'm trying to boot from flash drive, but all that happens is a flashing underscore

sasdas · « **Reply #27 on:** 25-June-11, 04:30:21 »

Ok, I got it to work, now both RAM was accepted, tyvm.

Svet · « **Reply #28 on:** 25-June-11, 13:42:00 »
