The problem is that with the old drivers still in the boot menu, you are probably heading down a slippery slope trying to re-use it. Perhaps force safe mode if and when you are able to boot, and then try installing the new drivers. From that one could deduce the BIOS version on that board.Īs for the windows installation from your previous system, you would be very lucky if you were able to boot with that. Thanks!Ĭan you post your board's serial number. Right now I am out of ideas and any suggestions would be helpful or at least some insight in what problems I described may indicate. I should also mention that when I test it on the bare minimum (CPU, PSU, 1 stick of ram) I get A9 in the lower corner before the dragon logo appears. Reconnected the PSU cables into the motherboard I've checked the CPU to make sure no bent pins I have tried to boot up with the following changes: Pressing F1 displays the text "Entering Setup." at the bottom but again it fails to enter the BIOS (it freezes on the above screen - does not turn black this time) and choosing F2 to Continue freezes as well. Starting the PC again now gives me a display of all my hardware that it detected (correct CPU, Correct amount of ram, correct HDD etc.). However, every time I want to enter the BIOS the screen turns black! The display is still functional though from what I can tell (the display does not lose signal).įollowing that, I reset the CMOS from behind by pressing the button with a pen tip. So I rebooted the PC and decided to press DEL to enter BIOS. After the dergaon logo, all I get is "Missing Operating System" at the top which did not really worry me and I assumed it would be realted to the Raid not setup (right?) I let it continue without pressing any key to see how it goes. Upon powering on, I see the MSI Dragon logo fullscreen with the option to press DEL or F11. So basically, when I received all the new parts yesterday and put them all in. I unregistered the Product key before taking it all apart with the idea of registering it again once the new hardware was all together. To begin with, my existing drives were setup as RAID 0 and has a installed Windows 7 64-bit on there already. 16GB (2x8GB) Patriot Viper 3 Black Mamba 1600MHz CL9 DDR3 Dual/Quad Channel Kit Īnd installed the hardware with the following old hardware that I am carrying over:

MSI Z97-G45 GAMING MoBo ( no idea on BIOS since I cannot enter it at all) First post here and sadly a technical one.
