Goggle is your friend in this question , The mother board manual is online and on PG. 56 they suggest the configuration jumper block. place the jumper on pins 2-3 and reboot. That will let you configure the passwords, then turn off replace the jumper on pins 1-2 and restart. but really keep the manual close to the computer, I still have mine after 3 years.

Supervisor or Setup password might work if you have any. Also, could try removing the battery or short the CMOS clear jumper. Good luck.

Just to wrap up this issue, I was using the wrong password when trying to set up the security. When I realized that I was on line in minutes. My thanks to gadgetjq for your help.

I would think you would just use the password you entered. I hope taking out the battery worked for you.

I suggest you contact Crucial. If you were going to use it, I reccomend you to install a fresh build.

It's me again Neville. If you have hack games the computer might get slower. Keep using ccleaner, defraggler and maintenance of windows to keep the laptop stable. When you start to install programs or other staff remember to disable them on start up. Mine it would ask me for the password in 3sec at start up. The only prb I have that on start up I can't keep the setting with gaming power plan I have to change it every time when I use the laptop.

Thanks for the answers. One more question, did any of you did a new install? based on the answers it seems that most or all of you just replace an old/broken board with this one. I am actually looking to do a new installation.

I am having the same problem. It won't show up on my control panel and the computer won't detect it as a hardware device. I have some pretty important stuff on it too. I don't suppose you found out how to make it work since you posted this comment?

Well I didn't do that, but you can downloadowners manual from msi web page. However this isexcellent mainboard.

I would first attempt the relearn procedure. If your passlock module (the computer for the security) is working correctly, you can install this. In my case, the module was bad and this does not good as it is just a bypass for the passlock sensor. It would also behoove you to have someone scan the passlock module for codes. If the security light is on, there is a code stored in the module which can lead you to a completely different issue. See here for relearn: http://my.cardone.com/techdocs/pt%2077-0011.pdf

If it would take it you would have to install xp and then try a restore. But with the bios and chipset it may not work right.

Hello Doberman-It sounds like you need to enter the password for your internet encryption (WiFi password)Regards,The AV House Team

My best advise is take it to an installer sspecialist. I dont know what else you need since I gave mine to someone else.

I remember have trouble with the same part... this 2 parts are very tight. I used a screw driver to push the shell off the chassis or try to go to the left them to the right holding the chassis strait. It will work and the result is great.Good luck.My very best

Try looking in the computers BIOS - early in the boot process you need to hit one of the "F" keys to enter the BIOS.
