    Hello all. I have a problem with my new motherboard, MSI 7728 v2.0. She came to see me less than a week ago, and I already have a problem with her. The album was purchased at the Allegro auction as new. After connecting everything as it should, the computer turns on theoretically, but the image is on the company's logo, and underneath the command what to do to enter the bios, but you can not perform the action. Computer specification: Graphics card: Nvidia gt 630, Processor: intel core i3-2100, RAM: 2x2gb patriot sector 5, motherboard: MSI MS 7728 v2.0, power supply: FEEL III-400 ATX. In addition, after turning on the computer and waiting for some time, the beep is beautiful 1 time bios then again quite a bit of time and again beautiful, this is a different beep than when turning on the computer, when turning on the computer is 1 higher, while this beep is short and low. After removing the graphics card from the board, there are 1 long and 2 short beeps, which means a problem with the graphics card, when I pull out the ram, there is also an audible message, 3 short beeps. Please reply quickly, because if it is the motherboard's fault I can send it back for warranty, but I would like to know 100% if it is her fault. And I would like to add that I do not have DVD drives plugged in, because I had an ATA input, and on this disc I do not have such an input. Could it be this fault? or maybe you need to reinstall the system? I am asking for quick advice.

    My keyboard is genesis r33 for usb, but I checked another keyboard and then the same.
    Could you explain me how to do this? I don't know much about it and I don't want to damage something.

    Move marked jumper to second position for 10 seconds (with computer turned off from power).

    no, this circular connector (I don't know exactly what it's called)
    As for this, I did as you wrote and nothing is still standing.

    PS / 2.

    If you cannot enter the BIOS on this keyboard, then most likely the board is damaged or something is not compatible - which in the case of this board is NORMAL and therefore this board is not recommended.

    You can try from the very beginning after turning on the comp. press the key responsible for entering the bios - maybe it will surprise you?

    If this keyboard also fails to enter the BIOS, most likely the motherboard is damaged or something is not compatible - which is the norm for this motherboard.

    I also tried to get into the bios like that. But if the disc was damaged, would it beep and give error codes when e.g. a graphics card was removed? it seems to me that all components are compatible, ram 1333hz it should go, card on pci-e and on the old board everything worked, card and power supply, and on the new one it does not work, I will add that the processor was bought at the Allegro auction, and cooling is original from Intel i3.

    Only this board does not work properly with a lot of components and you won't do anything about it.

    There are two options, either a damaged board or one of the components is incompatible with it (graphic grille, RAM).

    Okay, I have one last question. Could it be the fault of the drive? Or do you need to reinstall windows? If that's not the fault, should you claim a refund or try to exchange it for the same and keep trying?

    Check if you can enter the bios without a connected disk.

    That's for later - for now you have to go to the bios.

    The old album works normally, but it is already old, under the LG 775 and ddr2 also no newer prock available there,
    Without the drive connected also the same, as if it hung and nothing can be done,
    I know, but I am asking because the "factory" disc may be set to boot from the drive or something and it could be done in this way.

    You can check if the system boots up - but I doubt it. The principle is that after such a large change (of the entire platform), the system should be reinstalled.

    PS. Check again on this PS / 2 keyboard if it is impossible to enter the bios.

    Okay, I think I'll give the whole pc to the guests who will check it for me, maybe I connected something wrong or something, and let me know when I know something.
    I checked on this keyboard, the same with and without a disk, and when I put out some components, such as a graphics card or ram, it beeps that the error is there.

    I know, but more than once I saw a friend of mine connecting a new board and it did not want to work, he disconnected everything, connected it again and it started working. Besides, I don't want to play with it too much, they know each other better, they should do it to me

FAQ

TL;DR: If your MSI MS‑7728 v2.0 freezes at the logo and ignores keys, first Clear CMOS—"Move the jumper for 10 seconds." [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654040] Why it matters: This quick reset often restores keyboard input and POST after hardware swaps.

Quick-Facts

Quick Facts

How do I fix an MSI MS‑7728 v2.0 that hangs on the logo and won’t enter BIOS?

Start with a Clear CMOS. Power off at the wall, move the marked jumper to the second position for about 10 seconds, then return it and power on. This resets firmware settings that can block input after hardware changes. “Move the jumper for 10 seconds.” [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654040]

What do 1 long and 2 short beeps mean on this setup?

That pattern indicates a graphics adapter problem. On this system, removing the GPU produced 1 long and 2 short beeps, confirming a video error condition. Reseat the card, check PCIe power if present, or test with another GPU. [Elektroda, TicTokk, post #16654009]

What do 3 short beeps mean during startup?

Three short beeps point to a memory error. If you hear this after removing RAM, it confirms the board’s beep speaker and POST diagnostics work. Reseat RAM, try one module, or different slots. [Elektroda, TicTokk, post #16654009]

Will a missing DVD/ATA drive stop BIOS entry or POST?

No. An absent optical drive will not block BIOS access or prevent POST. Focus first on firmware reset, keyboard recognition, and core components before OS or drive concerns. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654020]

Should I reinstall Windows after changing from LGA775/DDRx to this platform?

Yes—after a major platform change, plan a fresh Windows install once you can reach BIOS. Boot first, confirm hardware stability, then reinstall to avoid driver conflicts. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654096]

How exactly do I Clear CMOS on the MS‑7728?

How‑To: 1. Turn off and unplug power. 2. Move the marked CLR_CMOS jumper to the second position for ~10 seconds. 3. Return the jumper, reconnect power, and boot, then re‑set date/time. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654040]

USB keyboard won’t work in BIOS—what should I try?

Use a PS/2 keyboard and press the BIOS key immediately from power‑on. Some boards recognize PS/2 earlier than USB. “You can try from the very beginning… press the key.” [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654052]

Could the hard drive or boot order be causing the freeze?

Unplug the disk and try entering BIOS. If it still hangs, the issue isn’t boot order. Revisit Clear CMOS and input devices first; OS fixes come later. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654072]

Is the motherboard defective or just picky about parts?

This model is known to misbehave with many components. If Clear CMOS and basic checks fail, suspect board damage or incompatibility with your GPU or RAM. It’s not a recommended board. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654065]

The board beeps correctly when parts are removed—does that mean it’s alive?

Yes. Hearing expected beep codes when RAM or GPU are absent shows the POST speaker and basic diagnostics work, even if it still hangs at the logo. [Elektroda, TicTokk, post #16654110]

What is PS/2, and why is it mentioned here?

PS/2 is the legacy round keyboard/mouse connector. Some systems detect PS/2 input earlier than USB during POST, which can help reach BIOS when USB fails. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654052]

What is a Clear CMOS, in simple terms?

Clear CMOS resets stored BIOS settings to factory defaults. It fixes corrupted settings that can block boot or input after hardware changes. It takes about 10 seconds on the jumper. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654040]

Could a recent purchase still be under return or warranty if it fails within days?

Yes. The board in this case was less than a week old when issues appeared. If resets fail, request a refund or exchange rather than chasing compatibility. [Elektroda, TicTokk, post #16654009]

Edge case: I tried PS/2 and USB keyboards, but still no BIOS—what then?

If both inputs fail after a proper CMOS reset, the board is likely faulty or intolerant of your GPU/RAM combo. Test with alternate RAM/GPU or pursue return. [Elektroda, TicTokk, post #16654043]

Any quick troubleshooting order for this symptom set?

Do this: Clear CMOS, connect only CPU/one RAM/GPU, use PS/2 keyboard, unplug drives, and press the BIOS key from power‑on. Replace GPU/RAM if no change. [Elektroda, Kasek21, post #16654052]
