SOURCE: Recurring issue: KGPE-D16 opteron 2-CPU "USB

If its forcing a shutdown of the entire machine, I think it may be protecting itself from a voltage issue. What do you have plugged into your USB ports? It sounds like it has detected a voltage problem coming from one of the devices connected to one of its USB ports or something near it and to ensure that the motherboard doesn't get fried its shutting the computer down.

The message is telling you that its detected a device that is over the allowable amount of electrical current and is protecting itself from electrical failure. It could be a problem with the USB jumpers on the motherboard that connect the front usb ports. You might try unplugging these connectors and try to boot up the machine. Leave them unplugged and boot up the machine, if you still get the error after that, it may be a grounding issue with the motherboard mounts that anchor the motherboard to your computer case. If you have any extra mounts underneath the board that you aren't actually using but are coming in contact with the board, you may have to remove them, which would probably involve removing the motherboard from the case.

SOURCE: Asus P8Z77-V Deluxe motherboard problem..Ram will only fit in single slots..e.g slots 1 and 2..Not dual channel

Get a second set of dual channel RAM from somewhere and test it in the slots and see if it still gives you the same error code. But most likely it will and you'll need to RMA the motherboard as the RAM slots are most likely BAD.

Testimonial: "Thanks mate..I tested it again with another new set of ram but same problem ...Have sent of a warranty claim.Thanks for yor help..Cheers.Ron"

How to enter boot menu on a lenovo think center M73 computer

This can depend on your OS. For slower booting systems, press and release F12 repeatedly after pressing the power button. Release the button when you see the Choose Boot Device screen. Select the boot device and press Enter. (Note: some systems may not boot from all USB devices or CD/DVDs if they are set for a type of secure boot (UEFI).)

With some systems, you may need to enter the BIOS setup utility to allow the system to boot from a specific device. Try pressing F1 repeatedly after pressing the power button until you hear a lot of beeps or a splash screen. If there is a password for the setup utility, you'll need to enter that password. If you reach the Windows lock screen or the desktop, you missed the timing. Under Windows 10, go to the power icon in the Start menu (on the lower left). Press shift and click Restart. You will see an option for entering the BIOS on restart. Select this and wait. Once in the Setup utility look for the boot menu. You can change the order of the list. Press the correct buttons for save and exit to boot to the desired device.

I hope this helps.

(Note: some wireless keyboards may not work in the setup utility. Make sure that a wired keyboard isn't plugged into a USB 3.0 port if you need to load a USB driver to enable the port.)

How to boot with usb flash drive. detailed please, I'm trying to many diff ways nothing working, bios is the only thing on comp.

It is possible to boot from a USB drive....but only if the USB drive has been formatted as bootable, in the same way that OS CDs and DVDs are bootable media. You have to have an operating system either on the hard drive or on the flash drive in order to boot the computer. The BIOS is simply a "Basic Input-Output System" that interfaces the computer hardware to the OS, whatever media it is on. That is why you have to select the boot device and the boot device priority in the BIOS during setup, so it can direct itself to the bootable OS. Once you have installed an OS, then all will work fine. Until then, you will continue to have issues. Normally, with Window-based systems (you don't say what OS you are trying to use), you would insert the bootable Windows setup disk in the CD/DVD drive, ensure the BIOS was set to boot to CD/DVD first, and start the computer. The windows setup file would load itself and start the OS install process. It may even be necessary to partition and format the hard drive during this evolution, but the setup program would lead you through that as well. I have seen Windows setup files loaded to USB sticks, but they require a special process to generate so the BIOS sees the USB as bootable.

Hello i m facing some problem i cant boot my windows through usb drive i will explain the process i have did to boot from usb drive. Before that i will give some information about my system please note...

Most of those Windows to USB applications are for creating an Windows USB installation, not actually installing an operational OS on the USB. Does that make sense?

You would have to run the setup and choose the drive to where to install the OS. This would mean you would have to do it from a CD/DVD disc or have two USB drives, but this may cause a conflict.

Cannot boot from usb key

Try hitting F12 while booting up. Later model PC's use that key sequence to allow you to choose which device to boot from. Permanent changes to the boot order can be made in the BIOS. If that does not give results, maybe try another usb slot.

Hard drive stops booting

Hi, If your computer stops booting from the hard drive and is asking for a boot disk, then: 1. The motherboard/PC is no longer recognizing the hard disk; 1.1 Go to your CMOS/BIOS setup and manually detect the hard disk, save & exit. 2. The CMOS/BIOS is set to boot from other devices such as CD, FDD or USB but not from the HD. If after configuring the CMOS/BIOS and the hard disk is not recognized, then it is probably defective and therefore need to be replaced. If the hard disk is recognized but will not boot, then some files of your OS needed to boot are missing, corrupt or overwritten. You would need to re-install your OS and opt for a "repair". Hope this be of some help/idea. Post back how things stand or should you need additional information. good luck and kind regards.
