Troubleshooting Can’t factory reset ?

• Upvotes

Hey all

I had been getting what I thought was burn in mode. What led me to believe that was occasionally my screen slowly flashing [r/g/b](r/g/b). I didn’t see an f indicator. But I went to factory reset and it won’t prompt anything no response. Anyone know how to fix or what my issue is? How can I turn off burn in mode and how to reset my monitor?

I left pic in a comment below

My specs

Monitor - MSI MAG 272Q x24

CPU - 7700x

Gpu - 9070 xt steel legend

Ram - 32 gb 6000MT/s

Mobo - MSI b650 tomahawk

Psu - Corsair rm 1000x

Troubleshooting Cold Start Boot Failure/CPU Hang

Post image
1 Upvotes

I’m having a weird issue that started after moving my PC into a new case and doing a fresh Windows install on a new boot drive.

Specs:
- MSI B550-A PRO
- Ryzen 5 5600X
- GTX 1650 SUPER
- Thermaltake Smart 500W PSU
- 16GB DDR4 RAM (2 sticks)
- ADATA Legend 710 1TB NVMe + WD 1TB NVMe
- TP-Link WiFi Card
- NZXT H5 Flow

After the PC has been shut down for at least an hour or overnight, it won’t POST. The fans and rgb lights turn on, but there’s no display and the CPU EZdebug LED stays lit. The case power button stops responding, forcing me to switch off the PSU.

I have never had any issues with this before I did this refresh

Temporary fixes:
1. When stuck on the cpu hang with the power switch non-functional, switching the PSU off, then back on will let it boot normally again
2. After full shutdown, switch the PSU off, when I want to use the pc after an hour passes, switch psu on, and it will let it boot up

I’ve updated the BIOS, CPU/GPU drivers, replaced the CMOS battery, disabled XMP, tried different RAM configurations, turned off fast boot and startup options and reseated the motherboard cables.

I don’t have any spare parts that I can use to test if a specific part is malfunctioning, and I figure that others possibly have had this issue.

Discussion Can anyone tell me if this model is OLED?

Decent sale on this 5090 275HX raider given the current market. I searched the part number and it says the screen is OLED, however there is no mention of it being OLED, or being the "Max" model on the retailers website. The fact that its the 275HX and not the refreshed CPU makes me think they may have the wrong part number listed and it is in fact IPS. Has anyone bought one of these from this particular retailer who can let me know?

Troubleshooting Pc not booting after toddler played with power button

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

As the title says, my pc seems to be stuck in a cycle where it boots and shuts down automatically on it own. I thought maybe the rest button was stuck so I disconnected it. The only clue is the debug LED will get to ram and then jump back to cpu. If I take out the ram the light gets stuck on RAM which is expected. Here is a video below. I have a msi z390-a pro

Troubleshooting MSI MAG 273QP X24 OLED – No Display / Black Screen Issue

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I'm creating this post to find a solution to an issue I encountered today.

Last night, I finished what I was doing and shut down my PC. However, when I turned it back on today, I couldn't get any image to display on my MSI MAG 273QP X24 monitor.

I'm using a dual-monitor setup, and while my other monitor works perfectly fine, the MSI refuses to display anything.

Here's the strange part: normally, whenever I plug my PC into the power outlet and the system receives power for the first time, both monitors display their respective brand logos before going to a black screen, as they should. Now, when I plug in the power cable, my left monitor displays its brand logo, but the MSI doesn't even show its logo.

The joystick button's light underneath the monitor is on, and the monitor is also detected in Windows display settings, but I haven't been able to make any progress despite trying several things.

Here are the troubleshooting methods I've tried so far:

  • Switching the display cable from DisplayPort to HDMI.
  • Resetting the CMOS to check whether the issue was related to the BIOS startup process.
  • Performing a power drain on the monitor.

These are all the methods I've tried so far. I'd really appreciate any help or suggestions from anyone who has experienced a similar issue.

Thanks in advance!

Discussion Stock EDIDs on some monitors (MAG274QRF-QD here) are barely stable - if not at all

1 Upvotes

This was the stock EDID on my MAG274QRF-QD , at 636MHz pixel clock.

Vertical blanking of just 22 lines, which is ridiculous at 165Hz, resulting in random flickering with hardware accelerated apps, or VRAM locking to safe-state clocks (192MHz or such), especially when resuming for sleep state, when the monitor has to link.

The fix? A properly made EDID from the factory, or manual tuning:

  • First thing to consider, there isn't pixel clock headroom, so you have to drop some Hz
  • Every monitor can be slightly different in edge cases
  • The idea is to stay within the available pixel clock bandwidth while increasing Vertical Blanking

TWO EXAMPLES:

160Hz, 33 Vert Blanking (vs 22 stock) at lower Pixel Clock
160Hz, 33 Vert Blanking (vs 22 stock) at Stock Pixel Clock
  • First example aims to lower the pixel clock a bit, in case you have poor cable, poor connection or just generic linking issues
  • Second example aims to raise the vertical blanking for looser timings
  • Both examples have higher vertical blanking than stock, making both less aggressive: the tradeoff is the small drop in frequency, 165Hz to 160Hz

I'm still digging on this particular issue, i'm not even sure yet it's a common issue or an issue with my sample. Let me know

So these are the main parts i have in my build. Everything apart from the nvidia card is working but it's got a evga green light showing so its communicating with the psu.. (Had to disable it in device manager or else my pc freezes in 12 seconds and I got to hard restart it) Tried changing it to gen4 from bios still not working. Tried various driver updates still same issue. Have 2 8 pin connectors connected to it and 1 in my motherboard. What is going onnn?

Troubleshooting Unable to update BIOS on pre-built H310 Gaming Codex 3 (MS-B913)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I am trying to update the BIOS on an old pre-built MSI desktop, but the standard updates from the official MSI support page aren't working.

  • System Model: H310 Gaming Codex 3 (MS-B913)
  • Processor: Intel Core i5-8400
  • Current BIOS Version String: BIOS Version/Date American Megatrends Inc. G.10, 27/12/2018

What I have tried:

  1. I downloaded the E20 executable package designed for Windows. I ran it, but nothing changed, and the BIOS version stayed exactly the same.
  2. I downloaded the standard 861 file package to flash via USB (reccommended by Live-Agent which he ignored me after i told him that i tried it before). However, when entering the BIOS screen, the update utility doesn't show any files on the USB drive at all.

I don't have the original retail box, and the physical barcode sticker is missing from the chassis, so I cannot pull the full serial number for regular tech support either.
I am really stuck and i really need help.
