MSI KN8 Neo first boot problems

This is my first build. I assembled everything (listed in my signature) and fired it up; this is what came up on the screen:
Verifying DMI Pool Data ..............
Boot From CD :
Boot From CD :
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082)
For Realtek RTL8110s/8169s Gigabit Ethernet Controller beta v1.00 (030811)
PXE-E61: Media Test Failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM
Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and press enter
I have looked at all the posts in the forum with "PXE-E61" in them, and didn't find any answers. I Google searched "PXE-E61", and didn't find any thing either. This is what I've tried so far. I checked all of the cable connections, they're good. I swaped out the IDE cable with one I know works, no luck. I tried both IDE ports and I tried booting from both DVD drives( may be one was bad), same result. I tried different jumper settings for all the drives, no luck. Current jumper settings: DVD-Rom Master/ DVD-RW Slave/ WD Raptor Master plugged into SATA 1/ Seagate HD open plugged into SATA 2. No RAID
The bios shows all of the drives and I have tried different boot sequences with all of the drives, same thing. Current boot sequence: Floppy, HD, CD ROM. I went into the secret menu in the bios[shift+F10], and made sure it wasn't trying to boot from a network, it wasn't. I unhooked one of the HDs and tried, I hooked it back up and unhooked the other one and tried, no luck.
Is this a bios problem, or a mobo problem? I wanted to try everything I knew before posting on the forum.
Thanks
Extremely Frustrated

Tuirn off the Realtek NIC and set the boot order to a drive that you will actually boot from. One of the best ways to set up Windows is with just two drives attached to the system. The optical you are using for your CD and the HDD that you are going to install it on. Then after Windows is installed you can plug your other drives back in. This just simplyfies what Windows is seeing and makes sure you don't stick Windows where you don't actually want it. It also helps the system find the CD easier. Sometimes it will even help to turn other stuff off in Bios that you don't absolutely need to boot such as sound or other devices until after Windows is installed.

MSI K8t NEO + Audigy Boot Problem only when power is unplugged on the PSU

I ran into a really weird problem today.
I switched the ps off by reaching back and pressing the button. I repress the button to power on the ps, then I click on the button in the fron of the case to power up the machine. System keeps rebooting itself every 1 sec. Bracket shows 4 red lights. In the manual, it says it means bad cpu. I remove the audigy and it boots fine. I install the audigy, 4 red lights.
So, This time instead of turning the puter off by using the button on ps. I used the button on the case by holding it down for 5 seconds. I reboot and puter boots normally.
So the problem is, if i turn the puter off by using the button on the PS and with audigy in the syste. Nothing on screen, and puter keeps rebooting itself every one second. Solution is to turn the puter off by using the button on the case.
Has anyone ran into this problem? I have never had this kind of problem. It is really weird. Any feedback is apreciated.
Oh and it is only with audigy. I tested this with original live, and also other PCI cards like nic, and another cheap sound card. Non of these cards showed this problem.

Cavemankr!
I never knew you could shut down the computer by holding down the start button for 5 seconds.... well I've never really had the need to...until I got this K8T Neo job. I wondered why it wouldn't turn off when I just pushed it. I've been using the PSU switch with these problems.
Yep! She booted right up. Audigy back in action. I also realized I had my PC hooked straight in the wall (while checking to see if my surge protector was working this weekend), so turning off the surge protector wasn't cutting power to the cheapo PSU.
So put me in your camp!
I'll just plug the PC straight into the UPS and keep power fed to the Enermax. I hope that was the cause of my keyboard/mouse cold boot problem also.
I'll assume the cheapo PSU will behave similarly. I don't really want to go through the swap again.
I wonder why that happens!

MSI 848P Neo-V boot problem

Hi!
Boot problem still persists. First I thought it was due to the lack of CPU microcode support (tried to use Celeron D 325, I didn't get confirmation for this support from anywhere, a bit disputed thing). Now tried with a 2GHz northwood Celeron with no success. All parts are unused. Maybe my memories (2 x TWINMOS DDR-400MHz 256MB with m-tech chips) are not compatible with the motherboard.
Just came to my mind, does P4 systems require a heatsink for a POST operation, mean is there some sensors which make the CPU to refuse to work if no cooler is attached to mainboard? I tried to make things work traditionally without heatsink for a quick lookup...
-Thanks,
netnode

I did not understand. Is heat sink mandatory? At least P3 and earlier did not require heatsink. Once a boxed P2 (buil-in fan) required to attach the fan cord to the mainboard to boot up, so I also did this.

MOVED: MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

A lot of things could be wrong but it will be easier to figure out if we know what you did. When you say you changed settings in Bios, do you remember your last settings and what you did?
It might be helpful if you created a sig (as described in the forum rules) to show what you have in your system like my sig below. (Hint- use profile button in sign on screen.)
Things could be broken even if there is no visible evidence (such as flames or melted component) of course.
If I had to guess and your d-bracket reading is correct, corrupted bios requiring new bios chip, but let's not guess as a lot of things could be wrong and you don't want to invest in a new bios chip if the board cannot be brought back to life. Consider removing parts and testing them in an other machine. Start with CPU and memory?
Good luck.

P35 Neo Combo, boot problem? [FIXED]

** PROBLEM SOLVED - Tech support told we that if there was any way to update the BIOS to version 1.3 then I should do that. I found a way and after that everything have been running smoothly.
I would like to thank everyone that helped me in here and hope that my experience and the solution might come in handy to someone else. **
**This thread have been updated with more information and an alteration of the story as my experience with the board/BIOS grew larger, and some information was given to me by at kind person in this thread**
Hello everyone.
Some days ago I got some new hardware and put it all together but I ran into a big problem.
Specs of the new machine:
Case: Arctic Cooling T2 Pro, Miditower, 500W
Psu name: AX-500F, specs:
+12v: 14 A (15 A peak)
+12v2: 16 A (19 A peak)
+5v: 25 A
+2.3v: 30 A
-12v: 0.5 A
+5vSB: 2.0 A (3.0 A peak)
This information is a direct quote from Artic Cooling's homepage:
Power Supply
The AX-500F is a power supply optimized for high end PC's and complies with Intel's ATX12V version 2.0. The continuous output power fulfils gaming system requirements based on multiple VGA boards.
The AX-500F was tested with the following configurations:
AMD Athlon FX-62 CPU
2 GB Ram
2x ATI X1950 XTX (Cross Fire)
Intel Core 2 Extreme CPU
2 GB Ram
2x NVIDIA 7950 Gx2
I also did try booting with a more powerful PSU but still no luck, and from what I can see then this one should be powerful enough
Mobo: MSI P35-NEO-Combo-F, Intel P35, Ver. 1.0, BIOS ver. 1.2
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, BOX
Ram: Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4, 2x1024MB 2.1v

When I turned it on for the first time nothing happend, no picture no error sounds although I could see and hear that the computer was on. I turned it off and then on again, nothing, I turned it off and then on again and something happend.
I got a red text message saying that my overclocking attempt was unsuccessful, which I found pretty odd cause this was the first time the computer was on. I have now been informed that it's a fail safe build into the BIOS to prevent a melt down if you overclock it too hard, which is kinda smart. I then had the option to go into the BIOS, so I looked at every setting to see if things were OK and if it was somehow overclocked or had some wrong settings.. Everything looked and still looks alright when I save and exit. When I do save and exit, be it with the settings I think is okay, the fail safe or optimized settings then the screen just goes black.
So now for the 'clearing the CMOS' part When I reset the CMOS with the jumper I can get further than the error message about overclocking. I get two options:
1. To enter BIOS setup to configure the bios.
2. To automatically load some default settings and continue booting.
First I tried option 1, after doing a save and exit the screen went black again, got the overclocking message and had to clear the CMOS one more time.
Then I choose option 2, windows started to load, I got into safe mode and windows started to find all the new hardware and so on. When that was done I was kinda forced to reboot, screen went back and yes you guessed it... I had to clear the CMOS and choose options 2. I got as far as getting into windows and installed some of the stuff from the CD-rom's that came with the motherboard, again I was doomed to reboot and clear the CMOS. Once again option 2 needed to be selected to get the system up and running, and I got as far as to the "Want to activate windows" option, and couldn't do that cause the network card was not installed so I had no internet connectivity. Apparently if windows detect too much hardware being replaced then the activation thing pops up, and I later learned that I can't activate my windows anymore cause I used my activation quota and I have to get a new key
What I learned from my brief time in windows normal mode:
Everything seemed to work nicely, and freaking fast too....swiiing!
2gb of ram was detected, running dual channel and at the desired voltage.
The CPU was running at normal speed and voltage.
All in all everything seemed normal until I rebooted.
The only thing I can conclude is that something goes horribly wrong when I clear the CMOS, load some default settings and then reboot. I have seen that I am able to get into the system with my current hardware, but only after a CMOS clear, so what the heck is wrong, what goes wrong after the reboot?
And this is as far as I can get with my own knowledge of computers :(
So now I hope to go that I can get some help from some of you guys, any thoughts on this or anyone know of such a problem and maybe know a solution?
If I missed some information you guys need to solve this puzzle then just ask.
On a side note, if I somehow get the chance to flash my BIOS to version 1.3 in hope that if will solve my problem, then will it erase my chances to send it in for RMA and get a new board? Do I break any rules by doing that?
Best Regards
Mads, Denmark

ok, when you turn it off and on and off and on, the BIOS will think it's an overclocking failure event, and hence display the overclock error message.
usually this is due to the memory settings was set incorrectly (by the BIOS itself). You may need to manually change the memory settings and see if that helps. And, please make sure that your BIOS can support FSB1333 processor like E6750 out of the box. If not, try flashing to the latest BIOS.
Hello and thanks for the quick anwser.
I did check if memory/cpu settings were okay and the seem to be on the right defaut setting. I save and exit and the screen just goes black. I forgot to add the motherboard and BIOS versions but they are there now: Mobo: MSI P35-NEO-Combo-F, Intel P35, Ver. 1.0, BIOS ver. 1.2
I don't see how I will be able to flash the bios when I can't get into windows and do it, and there is no way else for me to do it. If it was the case that the BIOS didn't support FSB1333, then I would never have gotten as far as getting into windows and getting the activation message would I?

MSI P965 Neo-F reboot problems

Hi,
I have a MSI P965 Neo-F motherboard in my PC, everything works great except for one thing, rebooting.
When i reboot or reset, it shuts down the operating system/BIOS, after that the PC stays on but my screen stays black.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thank you,

2x Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB 8MB

I dont know solution ...
i see the problem in mobo or revision of P965 itself ... there is many problems with restarts, reboots, first boot. It depend on version of BIOS you have, but i not found any version which solve this for me ...
i using v1.9 now ... and i have problem with boot after hybernation with vista..
after turning my computer off (in vista is normal to hybernate and shut down) i can boot my computer .. by its very strange. So, power comes up, but then instantly comes Windows Vista with logon screen - NO posting by BIOS, no RAID initial screen, no scaning for hardware... it comes instantly to windows - but windows are in some inconsistent state and i cant login (freeze/BSOD ... but pointer can be moved by mouse and login button shows efect if i move pointer over - so windows are in memory and working) ... in this state is HDD led all time ON (shining) ... i can shut down and boot up again and everything is OK (windows are normaly restored from disk)
with older v1.5 BIOS ... my computer goes to same state like is described here - BLANK ... and BIOS setting was reseted
so and here is one similiar problem

MSI k8n neo platinum post problem

I just bought a 2nd hand K8N neo platinum and I can't get it to post, I have reduced down to 1 stick of ram(tried all slots) vga and cpu running out of case. I have an ultra 600 psu that certainly should be doing the buisness as everything was fine on an NF7S-V2 up until 1/2 hour prior.
On the led device it's starting 4 red then after a couple of seconds it goes 1 red 2 red 3 green 4 red which I found relates to keyboard controller. I've tried with various keyboards but no joy. I get nothing on the screen at all but that's the next stage in post.
My memory is Twinmos 3200 twin x 2 x 512 double sided, which I saw in the sticky can be troublesome.
Any body got any ideas?

i am having an almost identical problem.
First the system wont go past post,then i realised it would but only boot if i had the USB mouse unplugged (i noticed the d-brackets lights changed after i unplugged the mouse)
then i was able to get to windows, however i couldn't do much (mouse wouldnt detect if replugged, keyboard not detected - all lights off)
So i tried clearing the CMOS
now i am having the same problem, except this time i get CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded
then it tells me to press f1 to continue to del to enter setup, which i cant do since the keyboard wont work. so now im totally bamboozled
I've tried changing the PSU as well with no luck (both were 500watts)
Funny thing is, the pc having the problem is identical to the pc im writing on now, presonally i think the motherboard is not v good, since alot of people have this problem or similar to it. (and yes im using the keyboard and mouse now, that i tested on the other pc)
SPECS:
MSI k8N Neo Platinum
Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro
AMD 64 3000+
1GB Geil Memory
Maxtor 160GB
500watt Magna Dual Fans
Will check what the D-bracket says and will report back.
ok here goes:
(with usb mouse plugged in)
1= green
2= red
3=red
4=green
(without usb mouse plugged in) - but bare in mind i cant press f1 (no keyboard) to continue else i would probably be able to get to windows.
1= green
2= green
3=green
4=red

MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition PROBLEM

Hi (my english is not good sorry for that)
I just got my new computer:
MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition
AMD Athlon64 3200+
Western Digital Caviar 160Gb
PNY Verto GeForce 6800Ultra 256Mb
1GB Value Select pc3200

The Problem is that when i start the computer, it boot and die directly no bootscreen what so ever, it boot and die. i dont know what to do plz help me

Make sure you have Both the ATX Wires on.. theres the Big one! (21Pins i think).. and the Small 4Pin Connector both need to be connected.. if you havent done so yet.. Another thing you could do is Take everything out and place it on a cardboard or something appropriate for the mobo.... I think your motherboard is shorting?.. if it's touching your case.. I had somewhat the same issue long time ago.. give it a try..if you want hope it helps..

875P Neo-FIS2R boot problem

Hello,
Just built a new machine with the following parts. Sometimes it boots fine, but mostly when you turn it on nothing happens, no beeps, no visual, no nothing. Also, once in awhile it takes 15 - 20 seconds before it beeps and visuals come on screen. It's using bios version 1.2 with all default settings by shorting out jumpers. (It gives different voltage settings when reset by jumpers vrs utility.) Once it boots it runs fine, even though memory timings are 2-4-4-6 SPD instead of 2-2-2-6 SPD that my memory modules are suppose to be. However when I manually change to 2-2-2-6 the bios shows that but CPU-Z still shows 2-4-4-6, thats a different story though which a bios update would probally fix. Right now all I want is for it to boot consistently, every time. Ive tried a different power switch and a different power supply. Neither helped and this is driving me crazy, somebody please assist or post any information you might feel would help.

Hey,
I have /had same problem with Neo 875 and corsair TWINX512-3200LL and bios V1.2 It has something to do with mem settings and/or Vdimm voltage. At this moment it boots fine but I can't explain way. It seems that this kind of memory is very sensitive for the Vdimm voltage. 2.5V is to low and some systems refuse to post. (see the bios 1.4 flash problems) Must user use 2.6v; 2.65v or 2.7v. Check out if you can find a stable setting. Bios v1.2 uses default SPD settings. you can't change them. Although after bios reset (removed battery) I get some different values with cpu-z. 2-2-2-6 I don't understand why I get those values in CPU-Z. I don't believe that my system is running with those settings. I think it's running with default bios 1.2 settings 2,5-4-4-6 but who knows?
A lot of users had dead MOBO's when they flashed to v1.4. The reason isn't found. Some moderators say the didn't wait for the DOS prompt after flashing (Could be) Some users can confirm they did. Maybe it has to do with the corsair memory. If you do a search you will find a lot of usefull information (bios v1.4 and/or MOBO hangs on keyboard initialisation)

[SIS Series] 649 neo-V boot problems

2 weeks ago I bought a computer with msi 649neo-v. when I turn the computer on it don't want to boot from HDD. after reset it boots everytime. only the first boot is allways unsuccessful.
(celeron D 326, 512 MB ram, SATA HDD 80GB (i think seagate) and some radeon)

It is not usual for all 3 mobos to breakdown with the same problem.
I would still suggest that you give me your PSU specs amps as it is critical to let me know if it is the main cause of the problem.

K8N Neo Power/Boot Problems!

Yo to all, i have recently bought for my pc at home ( i semi-own a pc store ) and i have decided to upgrade my previous amd 2600 barton.
Well i ordered a MSI K8N Neo Platinum + 54g ( wlan ) and an AMD 64 3200+.
Now when the package came i installed them to my case and it worked fine, so i packed it and went home to install it to its previous place, but unfortunately it never powered-up. I saw that when i entered the 12pin PSU cables on mb the light from the network card blinked one time and thats it , it didnt work. After more tries i saw that when i semi-entered the 12pin cable the fans start spinning with no booting process and the d-bracket was constantly red.
So i called the company and i got a replacement, but the problem now is :
The pc works only if it closes from software termination, if i pull the plug out or the power cuts off it stays inactive for like 10 mins before it can power up again, meaning that i have to leave it open all the time.
I repeat if you didnt understand. When i boot , if the power goes off or i closed it via the pc's button it wont be powered on for the next 10-15mins, the only way to boot is to successfully boot and shut it down via windows/linux.
I dont know what this means , havent seen it before.
Its not my PSU , it is tested and works great on other motherboards.
If anyone can help me with this i would be gladful, although i want to believe that the next bios patch will cover this as i cant send the mb back and wait for another 3-4weeks.
Best Regards,
Sedde

Ok havent seen this problem before on this board but this is whats happening, all motherboards are made with a thermal switch on the board (as well as one built into the psu) it used to be on cheaper boards when they use cheaper components if you turn off a computer by power failiure on off switch or just pulling the plug out of the back the switch will trip just like an rcd. The system holds the risidual current for about 10 minutes (you can bleed it faster by using foil or removing the onboard battery and resetting the bios) The problem is probably a faulty thermal rcd circuit, this problem can be caused by a to high output power supply but is more likley a manafacturing fault. You should have no problem with an RMA on the board as their technicians will recognise it. However it is worth trying it quickly before you RMA it, try it on a lower output psu i.e 350w with about 18amps on the 12v. If this doesnt work return it as faulty.
Hope this helps

875 P neo-lsr boot problem

Hello all, I've got the following problem with my 875 P neo board:
The system fails to power on properly 95% of the time.
Sometimes the hdd inits and the nb fan goes on, sometimes it doesn't. The LED's gives either an keyboard controller or AGP initing display diagnostics message. The system never comes as far as lighting the display in the cases when it doesn't work. The system boots in 1 out of 10 cases so switching it on and off until it works is the only way to boot it.
When fully booted it works perfect though.
I've tried changing graphics card and keyboard but with no sucess, also tried setting the memory voltage to 2.70 with no real increase in sucessful boots.
Sometimes when the system actually boots it reports that the 'memory timings are set too tight, resetting' even thoyugh I've set the settings in the bios to 'slow', although it does not report this on all sucessfull boots.
I've got the following specs:
Pentium 4, 3000 Mhz, 800 FSB
TwinMOS 512 MB, PC3200, CL 2.5 RAM (Approved by MSI)
Super Flower / Le pont 420 W PSU (P4 approved)
MSI 875P NEO-LSR
IBM 75GXP hdd (master on chain 1)
Asus CD-R (master on chain 2)
Asus GeForce 4 Ti4800SE 128 MB DDR 8x AGP graphics card (brand new)
Keytronics brand new 'standard' keyboard
MS explorer optical 3.0 USB mouse
BIOS rev 1.6
I've tried changing the graphics card and keyboard for other products from microsoft and gainward.
Anyone got any idea what could help me?
Best regards =).

One thing that makes me wounder:
For some reason the multiplier is set to 203 x 15.0 when booted (according to corecenter), but in the bios it says 200 x 15.0 (with my 800 FSB 3 Ghz p4).
Now the thing that makes me wounder is why is it doing this as it results in a speed increase to 3043 mhz?
I should note that my P4's multiplier is locked and cannot be changed in the bios...
I'm having the same ''problem''.
Are you currently using BIOS version 1.6?
Because with my BIOS version 1.2 nothing appeared to be wrong with the FSB and CPU/ memory clock.
Then I Flashed to v1.6 and it overclocked my system.
My CPU is now running at 3043MHz with a 811MHz FSB ( Core Center says 203*15) and my memory is also running at 811MHz.
Can you check the clocks of your graphics card? Because my Radeon 9800 Pro was running in v1.2 at stock speed (340MHz/380MHZ) and now with v1.6 at 351MHz/391MHz.
I don't mind about this ''overclocking'', but when it fu**s up my hardware I can't blame MSI because they are not responsible for overclocking X(

im trying to install a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS
i uninstalled all drivers for on board sound card
and then disabled on board sound in the bios
then when i install hardware and drivers for new soundcard it doesnt work
im a newbe at this is the jumpers or something i have to change?
sorry if this is in wrong section

my system detects the soundcard but the creative control center does not detect it
"no cards found"
im running vista at moment (using vista creative drivers)
(in xp detected device and creative control center detected it too but no sound)
i may invest in new psu alright but i dont think this is the problem in this case as i tryed soundcard before i bought hard drives
the soundcard is probably 7 years old maybe its just no supported????
(it was top of its range 400 euro in its day)
