black screen no bios is showing.

Hi
I need some help.. . I reinstalled w7 on a vertex ssd. But w7 dint shutdown (took to long). So i pulled out the power. Restart and no bios is popping up .
All settings in bios on default. Clear Cmos?But how do i do that..All was running well before this..Also on the standard hhd from AW.

I have looked at the forum, but i cant find any of this problem.
Any help is welcom.


Sorry for mine bad englis .
spec.
m17x a03 bios
sli 280gtx
t9600
vertex 60gb
4gb on ram

 

I would try this first.

1. Unplug the computer.
2. Pull the battery.
3. Hold down the power button for 20 seconds or so.

Reinsert Battery, Plug in and Power On.

That should clear the fault.

Good Luck.

 

I agree with danp but would take it one step further and pull out the the cmoswire from the motherboard with tweezers. This was the o ly thing that worked for me. Although i would try with removing the wire first to be lessninvasive on your system.

 

Guys thx for the reply.
The wire is the white one next to the cpu connector?
I have disconnect all that,w8 for 8 hours and than pull in the battery restart the machine,but no bios...

Thx for the help.

i have seen that post and i dint work for me.
The bios was back for 5 min. After is put back in the normal hdd from AW.
i was happy so i put back in the ssd ,all went well. Until i restart the laptop.
Shutdown froze. Again i needed to pull out the power.
Bios never came back..

Whats rong with this machine???..

THX for the help.

 

Did you hold the power button to drain leftover power stored in the capacitors after u unplugged the cmos wire.

 

This does not sound like a BIOS problem. It sounds like an incomplete or corrupt Win 7 installation which renders it unable to boot from the SSD. I would put the SSD in the laptop, boot from the Windows installation CD, reformat the SSD and install Windows again. It makes no sense that a failed Win 7 installation would result in a corrupted BIOS.

 

Guys
i have bios again after the tips about holding de power button for 20sec and the white wire..Ik hope this is it..And iam doing a fresh installation of w7 now on the AW hdd.
When iam done ill going 2 install the sdd .

Thx for all the help.

ik will reply if everything is working well.

Again thx for the help..

 

Yea,

Sometimes things just "get stuck," and the "power flea" will often make things right again.

Let us know how things work out for you

The bios is back now and i installeed w7 on the ssd and AW hdd.
But there some wierd problem now.
I boot up the machine this moring and again no bios..(all worked well before).
So i make a restart.pull out the battery and power. push the button for 20sec and the machine boots ok.

Now the problem is that the machine dont see any usb anymore.
Not even a usb stick in the bios. The mouse is ligthing up ,but now movements at all.
i have deleted all the usb device's in the device manger and reboot windows.

But non of this all works.
So i think the AW is the problem,because is try to reinstall windows and even at the piont where i try to load a driver in the installation . The usb stick and mouse isnt showed up.

Any tips.../ This machine makes me nuts..

THX

Software installation wont work. i have tryed to install treu task manager but again no luck..
There are working fine before the system crashed. So i think there broken. including the usb hub..

If your system is still under warranty I would definitely call Dell and let them figure out this mess.

 

Nope no warranty anymore.
Next AW will be advance warranty...

thx for the replay
