DP55KG - BIOS has detected unsuccessful POST attempt(s)

Hello. I have the folowing system:

- Motherboard    Intel DP55KG
- Processor        Intel i7 860
- Memory        Kingston KVR1333D3N9K2/4G x2
- Video Card # 1    Gigabyte 8400 GS
- Video Card # 2    -
- Video Card # 3    -
- Hard Drive # 1    WD SATA2 750 GB 7200
- Hard Drive # 2    WD SATA2 750 GB 7200
- Hard Drive # 3    WD SATA2 150 GB 10000
- Hard Drive # 4    WD SATA2 150 GB 10000
- Hard Drive # 5    WD SATA2 150 GB 10000
- Hard Drive # 6    -
- Optical Drive # 1    SATA
- Optical Drive # 2    -
- Case
- Power Supply    Spire 750W
- Sound Card    on-board
- Monitor        Samsung
- Operating System    CentOS 64 bit
- USB Flash Drive    no

On OS restart (in CentOS, via selecting "Restart"), the BIOS displays the usual splash screen and then generates the following message: "The system BIOS has detected unsuccessful POST attempt(s). Possible causes include recent changes to BIOS Performance options or recent hardware changes. Press 'Y' to enter BIOS Setup or press 'N' to cancel and attempt to boot with previous settings." If I type 'N' the system boots normally. If I type 'Y' and exit the BIOS without changing anything, it also boots normally.

I upgraded the BIOS to the latest version, I removed the optical drive and all aux fans in order to reduce the power consumption and I delayed the start of HDD, but the same problem

PLEASE HELP!

Hi Quark

You can disable Failsafe Watchdog option in BIOS. That will solve the issue temporally.

Could you please tell me the exact model number of your power supply?

What configuration do you have on the hard drives? As a RAID? if you do What RAID are you using?

You said that you upgraded to the "latest BIOS" what latest bios version is that?

Regards

Same Problem here with DP55WG BIOS 3822 and various Linux distributions, for example RIP Linux 9.3 with kernel 2.6.27.2 . The same with kernel 2.6.31. BIOS bug?

Re: DP55KG - BIOS has detected unsuccessful POST attempt(s)

Hello,

Thank you for your replies.

Unfortunately I didn't saw the LAN problems with the latest BIOS version 8322 and I installed it. Now I have a 10 MB LAN interface .

In this new BIOS version don't exist C1E option but I have made some tests and I found that if I disable Performance -> Failsafe Watchdog the system don't reboot and hang after message machine restart appears (POST code 21 - MRC entry point). If I enable Failsafe Watchdog the system reeboots, but after that appear the message The system BIOS has detected unsuccessful POST attempt(s)... (POST code 69).

I also tried with only 4 GB of memory but no positive results.

Power supply is Spire Jewel SP-ATX-750WTN-PFC.

I have one software RAID1 with 2x 750GB HDD WD7500AADS and one software RAID5 with 3x 150GB HDD WD1500HLFS.

Re: DP55KG - BIOS has detected unsuccessful POST attempt(s)

Hello,

3878 BIOS don't work at all.

It seems that DP55KG motherboard and Linux are incompatible for the moment. Please see:

Linux* is not supported on the Intel(R) Desktop Board DP55KG - Kernel still hangs upon reboot - 1

Linux* is not supported on the Intel(R) Desktop Board DP55KG - Kernel still hangs upon reboot - 2

Until a new BIOS version or a new Linux kernel will appear... do not reboot :D. Or change the motherboard.
