no beeps. all lights come on. however the cpu fan doesn't work. its plugged into the 4-pin CPU Fan socket. but I have 3 extra fans right next to it so processor doesn't burn. before i check and the cpu fan worked aswell.

and the Post LED on the mobo both say F and F on it? don't have a clue what it means.

according to manual it says FF means: Power on and first Initialize CPU

i'm using ocz reaper memory and apparently on one forum it said changing the memor fixed his problem... but i installed vista using this and all of a suddent his happened.. could it be memory?

looks like my problem is that the motherboard won't post anymore? any ideas what would have caused this?

nope.. nothing has come loose. and cpu fan comes on during post and the post is hung at its first step which is FF.

i just want the computer to be running today any help would be great thank you. i don't want to end up returning items

BTW.. does anyone have beep codes for this mobo cos i can't seem to find it in the manual

OMFG.. Vengeance... If you were next to me.. I'd kiss you on the lips...

kashaf · 14 May 2009 at 13:33

slightly worried though.. the system beeps 7 times in like a tune. its like beep beep.... beep... beep beep (slightly different to first 3 and last 1)... beep (same as first 3)... and then the normal beep before it starts.. does this have any significance? should i be worried? because the computer is working fine.. vista is booting fine. i hope its just the mobo playin with me and singing me a tune..

kashaf · 14 May 2009 at 15:07

great.. but any idea on those beeps.

kashaf · 14 May 2009 at 17:55

updated my bios to latest v1.3 still beeps

kashaf · 20 May 2009 at 01:23

I've had a little look around and figured that MSI uses AMI BIOS. And in AMI BIOS 7 short beeps mean Virtual mode exception error. I don't have a clue what that means? Anyone any ideas? Also Can someone give me a name of a program which I can run whih does extensive tests on my computer to test that every hardware on it is working 100%
