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
Graphics card: Inno3D GeForce 8800GTS, 320MB, PCI-E
CD-rom: Lite-On DVD/CD
HDD: Western Digital Raptor 74GB
OS: Windows XP 32bit
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?

  • P35 Neo Combo crash problem

    Hi all,
    Recently my computer has started to crash with a BSOD (Stop 0x00000124), it happens almost every day but I haven't been able to reproduce the crash, it seems to occur completely randomly. It even crashed when I was away for a day and didn't use the computer - I left it running to see if the crash would happen without me running any programs.
    System:
    Mainboard: MSI P35 Neo Combo, Bios version 1.7
    CPU: Intel Core2 E6750
    Memory: 2x2GB DDR2 800MHz
    3 hard drives
    Graphics: Radeon 4850
    Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Pro
    I am running Windows 7 Ultimate trial (64 bit), however the same crash happened under Vista Home Premium (64bit) so everything including the error code seems to point to a hardware error.
    - disk checks return no errors
    - memtest86 returns no errors
    Not sure what to try, googling the problem leads me to believe the problem is with the mainboard. I'd like to know if there's something I could try before replacing the board. I have never overclocked anything on this system, mainboard and CPU are about three years old, memory about two, graphics card a year, hard disks 0-3 years. Before this problem happened everything was stable.
    Some more info I can think of below. Any ideas/suggestions/assistance welcomed. Thank you!

    What I have now is 2x1GB and 2x2GB PC6400, all are A-Data. There was a crash with one of the 2GB sticks, trying the other now.
    I might get DDR3 as replacement, as I'll be buying a new system towards the end of the year - my current board supports DDR3 as well and then I could use the memory in the new system. Or I'll just run with 3GB and no dual channel for the time being (the board has 2xDDR2 and 2xDDR3 slots, so can't use more than two sticks).
    It's just odd that memory checks don't report any errors, and the system only crashes every 24 hours or so.

  • P35 Neo Combo Audio problem

    I recently bought a P35 Neo Combo motherboard.  Everything installed correctly and is working great except for the audio.  I'm currently using Windows Vista, and the drivers look like they are installed correctly (no exclamation mark by the icon in Device manager), but yet no sound is outputted.  The BIOS on the motherboard is also the latest (version 1.6).
    Any help/suggestions would be appreciated!  Thanks!

    Try disabling the Front Panel sound.

  • Multiple problems with P35 Neo Combo-F based system

    Friend of mine, after returning from a trip, complained that he couldn't power up his computer. After analysis it was found that his (no-name) PSU was dead. Unfortunately replacing the PSU was not end to the problems. Here are the configuration details:
    Mobo: MSI P35 Neo Combo-F v1.0 with v1.7 BIOS
    CPU: Intel Celeron 420
    RAM: single Transcend JM800QLJ-1G 1GB DDR2-800 module
    Video Card: Gigabyte nVidia GV-NX84G256H
    HDD: 1xMaxtor STM3250310AS DiamondMax 21 SATA
    OS: Microsoft Windows XP SP3
    PSU: LC-Power LC7380 PowerSilent Taurus 380W (3,3V: 20A, 5V: 20A, 12V1: 14A, 12V2: 8A)
    Other: Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-212D SATA
    Problem(s) description:
    When powering up, system turns on for a second or two, then like it powers down for roughly the same time, and then turns itself on again and then boots. Not sure if this is double/fake boot "feature", but for single system power up I don't like having HDD powered up twice. This happens for every power up. BIOS has been upgraded to latest 1.7 using MSI Windows utility, after update system has been turned off, power cord removed, BIOS jumper set to clear for couple of minutes, then returned to normal position, returned power, started up the system, loaded optimized defaults, in power management setup's wake up event setup I have disabled "resume by pci device" and "resume by pci-e device" options which were only by default enabled "resume by ..." items.
    System is very unresponsive, even after clean install with only motherboard drivers installed (Intel INF). I've checked with Sysinternals Process Explorer, Deferred Procedure Calls process is occupying most (50% - 70%) of the CPU, making "System" (and not "System Idle Process") occupying CPU 100%. I've checked with Spybot 1.6.2 and with Kaspersky AV 2010, there is no malware on the system. Odd thing is that while I'm running latest Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool "System" process falls down to 3% of CPU load and system becomes responsive more than ever.
    When restarting system, after clean install and before installing any drivers, system would freeze at "Windows is shutting down" screen. Once I install Intel inf motherboard drivers, since then system kind of restarts, screen goes black, but it doesn't boot up again - I have to do a hardware reset.
    When shutting down the system, similarly to restart scenario, system kind of shuts down, I can hear HDD is stopped, but system power LED remains on, and both CPU and PSU fans remain on.
    Not sure if it is related but I'll mention it anyway, even though I can browse internet and download files with no problem, Windows update and Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 updates barely move from 0% after hours and hours of running (Kaspersky never moves off of the 0%, while Windows Update takes ages to get additional percent of a single ~900KB update)
    I've tried replacing that single Transcend memory stick with single Kingston KVR800D2N5/2G DDR2 stick, and replacing graphics card with MSI's R4350-D512H, but in vain. I've also tried putting in 2 Kingston DDR2 sticks, but then system wouldn't boot at all. I've also tried replacing PSU with LC-Power's LC-6550 V2.0 (+3,3V: 30A, +5V: 28A, +12V1: 14A, +12V1: 14A) but it didn't solve anything.
    I'm running out of options, any advice would be welcome.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Stevo.

    This is normal behaviour.  Nothing to worry about:

    I don't like having HDD powered up twice.
    Your HDD is going to be just fine.  Todays hard drives are usually built to be able to take 50'000 power-on-Cycles.  If you turn on your system once a day, it will take about 68.5 years until you reach that number with that double-boot behaviour.  When you power on your system 8 times a day, you will still have to do that for about 8.5 years (each day) until you reach 50'000.  That means if your hard drives breaks within the next 5 years (warranty period), it is highly unlikely that this has anything to do with the double-boot behaviour.

    This is another indication that your problems is Windows related.  There is something wrong with your OS installation.  You are talking about a clean OS Installation with no drivers but AV Software and Anti-Spyware stuff installed.  This does not sound very healthy.
    My suggestion would be to clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU, load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS after that, repartition and format your hard drive from Windows Setup and reinstall Windows XP SP3.  When you done, start with installing the latest Intel Chipset drivers (nothing else before that) and then restart your system right after the installation is done.  Then install all the other drivers step by step and see if that changes anything.

  • P35 NEO COMBO problem

    I join the club. Have the same issue but realized that it mostly happens when the power was completely switched off.
    If the pc was only shut down it reboots just fine.
    MSI P35 NEO COMBO
    Antec 350w psu

    I read the other thread in BIOS forum and for sure it's not a BIOS issue. Putting together what you say there & here this what I come up with:
     For what reason is the power shutting off? Error checking of HDD is normal if improper shutdown occurs because of power loss or being switched off and not shut down in Windows as it should be. When that happens the read/write heads are not going to proper park/rest position before the disk slows down and stops spinning. When this happens the heads make contact with disk surfaces and can corrupt data and even damage disk surface and therefor the reason for the error checking. The only fix for it is proper shutdown in Windows and eliminate the cause of power loss. If that can't be done then you need a battery backup/Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).
     If you have other problems this one needs resolved 1st since more than likely this is the cause of some of them.

  • Problems with audio drivers on p35 neo combo

    hi,
    i recently got a new rig with MSI p35 neo combo mobo.however i am unable to install the audio drivers ,during the driver installation a error message pops up saying the installation failed and the installation stops.i have even tried downloading the audio drivers from the MSI website.please help me.thanks

    Manually uninstall both drivers in device manager and restart the system.  If Windows tries to redetect the devices, abort the procedure.
    Install KB888111 to reinstall the Microsoft UAA Bus Driver.  You can download it here:

  • P35 Neo Combo F woes

    Hi all. 
    I am new to this forum so I hope I don't repeat an old topic (I have looked for this problem and don't see it specifically).
    Basically, I built a system for a brother 2 yrs ago using this MoBo with an Intel Quad 6550 and DDR2 800.  It worked fine for him until one day it just went into an endless cycle of starting and stopping, fans roaring but no boot up.  Long story made short, he had it worked on by some professionals in the Columbus, Oh area and after upgrading the bios to 1.3 and swapping RAM(which didn't work), they sold him a new Intel MoBo. 
    Well, I now have this Mobo (because I'm stubborn) in my rig and everytime I upgrade software or install a new component, it freaks.  But, I don't get the 'cycle' that I've read about.  In fact, I wish I did.  I could deal with that.  What it does for me is nothing but run the fans.  No HD accessing, no beeping, no post; nothing unless I turn off PS, pull the plug, and repeat until it will post, acknowledge the HD and boot up.  There is no set pattern to what will work either.  I have pulled the cord, discharged the capacitors, reset CMOS, and had nothing happen.  What really puzzles me (even more) is that when Windows restarts after maintenance or if I restart manually, the computer powers down completely and starts up again from scratch, maybe.  Sometimes when I let it set overnight, it will start up after the initial 'stutter.'
    When it boots up, it runs fine with default CMOS settings until powered down.  Sometimes it cycles once and takes off, other times not.  I have gotten no satisfaction from MSI other than 'send it in with $35 and we'll see what we can do.'  What I'm about to do is buy an Asus board and use this one as a Frisbee, but I do like it when it works........
    Here is what I've got
    -Intel E6300 1.86 GHZ Core 2 duo
    -MSI 7365 P35 Neo Combo F    Bios V 1.7
    -(2) Corsair DDR2 800 CM2X-1024-6400C4 (same memory sticks I originally used for my bro, I have swapped them with 2 Corsair DDR2 800 CM2X1024-6400C5DHX and it makes no difference)
    -Sapphire ATI Radeon 3870 (512k DDR4) vid card  (My bro had ATI 1950 pro)
    -WD 1600 AAJS-00PSA0 SATA HD
    -HP CD Writer + 8100
    -Toshiba DVD Rom SD-M1712
    -Win XP Pro (32 bit) SP 3.  All SPs installed from downloads, not cds or dvds
    -PSU OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W with 2 25A 12V rails
    Sorry to ramble so much, I hope what I've said makes some sense.  I'm a retired auto tech, not a computer tech :-)
    Thanks, Bob

    Hello and welcome,
    im normally not recommending this, but is 1.3 the latest bios onboard?
    If so, might wanna update bios and see if that helps, there were some issues with powering down, memorycompatibility and other stuff.
    Read here on how to do it safely:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=113295.0
    If this is your board:
    http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1216
    then look also here for biosfiles and other stuff that might come in handy, be sure to get the latest bios file, it incorporates all previous fixes.
    DONT use LiveUpdate, M-Flash or any other windows based biosupdating program, cause that might wreck your board.
    Use the tool provided or via cd/dvd, read here:

  • NEED HELP w/ P35 Neo Combo and Windows XP Install Stop 0x24 error BSOD

    First a little background, in case it's relevant:
    I was running a 865PE Neo2 with 4 x 1gig Corsair DDR2 6400.  Otherwise, same specs as below. Ran it for 2 years without a hitch, then got a virus that corrupted my profile and had trouble booting, logging on, and persistent virus messages.  Long story short, I fried the BIOS and decided to replace the mobo and upgrade the memory, keeping the rest of the system intact.  I previously had windows installed on both partitions of the HDD but changed the name of the directory for Windows on the C: drive so it would boot from the D: drive.
    I have replaced 865PE with the P35 and changed the boot sequence to boot from CD.  The BIOS loads fine, and I get to the windows setup screen ok.  Whether I opt for Recovery Console, or a new install of Windows, I get a BSOD error message below. 
    STOP: 0x00000024 (0x001902FA, 0xf7906700, 0xf7906400, 0xf7103bef)
    ntfs.sys Address F7103BEF base at F709f00, Datestamp 3d6de5c1
    I tried with both new and old memory (in the right slots) and get the same message.  I booting with no memory because I read in another post that the system should beep to indicate no memory and there was no beep. 
    BIOS recognizes the HDD, CPU and Memory so not sure what the problem is.  Should I try taking the HDD out and reformatting it on another PC? (not easy since I don't have another desktop pc) Please help with some suggestions.  Thank you.

     That's where the 'Combo' part in the name comes into play, 2 DDR2 or 2 DDR3.

  • P35 Neo Combo beep codes

    Hi All
    I just installed the P35 Neo Combo into my antec sonota II case with a E8400 cpu, BallistiX 8500/1066 ram and a Sapphire 3650 video card.  I'm using 2 SATA drives 120 gb each (no RAID), a liteon DVD writer and have WinXP SP2 running. Everything seems fine except for a few oddities.
    When I boot I here 3 chirps from the system speaker, one then two more.  I've tried to stop the screen (pause/break) but I can never get it as it goes by too quickly. What I can see doesn't indicate any problems or errors but as I said it goes by way too quick.  Don't know if this is normal or an indication of a problem.  Also I use a boot disk to perform various patitioning duties and troubleshooting(s).  In addition to that I use acronis version 10 to restore my hard drives from time to time.  Neither of these boot disks will function.  The first causes a screen full of garbage and the internal speaker goes ape!  The arcronis disk just sits at the loading screen and never gets to the actual program.
    I have a few more days before I have to return for exchange or refund if I don't solve these problems.  I've searched this forum and found some beep codes but nothing that discribes my situation.  I didn't find anything for the boot disk issues.  Any help would be gretly appreciated.

    The Sonata II case by Antec uses the following:
    Specially designed low-noise SmartPower 2.0 450W ATX12V v2.01 power supply.
    The actual specs I can't say right now.  I went to the antec site and used there PSU calculator to determine if I'm over extended and after adding all my components it said 231 watts required which puts me well within the limits.  I know this isn't what you were asking but I was curious.
    Look for them over PSU sticker, example in my signature.

  • P35 Neo Combo DDR3 1066MHz

    Hi Guys,
    I would like to upgrade (increase) memory size on the following system:
    MSI P35 Neo Combo (bios ver. 1.3)
    CPU Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
    VGA Radeon HD 5770 1GHz
    current memory 2x1 GB DDR2 800 Mhz
    It is a few years old system and I wanted to put extra memory there. The mobo only supports up to 4GB (DDR2 or DDR3). As the  DDR3 modules are cheaper today than DDR2, I bought 2x2GB DDR3 1066MHz (PC3-8500 CL7 Kingston) that should be supported by this mobo. But when I place the new moduls into slots the system does not boot . Of course, I took out the DDR2 modules before applying the new ones.
    Do you have any clues where could be a problem? Manual BIOS settings of some parameters? Or to update BIOS to the newest version 1.7?
    Thanks a lot in advance for any hints...

    Voltage is set to auto - I will try to set it manually on 1.55 or 1.60V and will se if it helps. Just a short question - if deafult setting for RAM module is 1.5V, can voltage of let's say 1.60V somehow harm it?
    Regarding the timings: at the moment the timings are set automatically by SPD. If I look at the specification of these modules (http://www.micron.com/parts/modules/ddr3-sdram/mt8jtf12864az-1g6) they have native CL10 but it is probably for default speed 1600MHz. Is CL7 for speed 1066MHz "overclocking" for this module?
    Anything below 1.65V is ok for a DDR3 module.
    Also, it's highly recommended to use 1.55-1.60V (instead of 1.50V) on older mainboards (and not only).
    Now talking about timings.
    7-7-7-20 are the default timings for DDR3-1066
    9-9-9-24 are the default timings for DDR3-1333
    You cannot use the SPD profiles of a DDR3-1600 module, if you want to make it run at 1066MHz.
    So you need to manually change the RAM/FSB ratio, timings and voltage.

  • P35 Neo Combo + Q8300 "SLGUR"

    Hi,
    I tried to install a Q8300 on my P35 NEO Combo.
    I got unlimited reboots, until i re-inserted my old E6320.
    Now I checked the CPU-Nr, it is "SLGUR" not "SLB5W" as stated in the CPU list.
    Is there a change this combination will work or do I have to get another CPU?
    Regards, mouszeman

    It seems we have common problems!
    Before continue, i make the summary of steps "required" :
    1) Use your old and works-good CPU
    2) Update to the last Bios aviable with the "USB Flash Tool" (DON'T USE the Windows update utility!)
    3) Disconnect the power supply cable.
    4) Wait 1 minute, then click "Clear CMOS" button (take a look to the manual to find where is it)
    5) Switch your old Cpu with the Q8300, then connect the power supply cable
    6) Post results.
    Good luck!
    Did all that, same result as before: System starts but shuts down after ~2mins. I realized that there is no possibility in the bios to change the CPU or RAM voltage, all set to auto and greyed out. Might this be a possibility? Otherwise I´m thinking about either sending the cpu back and going for a larger modell or changing the Motherboard...

  • P35 neo combo wont post

    Hi, i just bought new motherboard for my system (msi p35 neo combo) and it wont post or beep at all, all the fans start but the screen wont wake up(aka black screen). All the components works just fine on my old asrock 775-dualvsta. So far i've tried to boot up with&without any ram, graphics card, hard-disks, checked all cables X times, re-seated cpu cooler, cleared cmos, etc. No go! :( Any advices?
    I bet it's DOA but i want to be sure before RMA, long process... >:(
    My setup: C2D e6300, radeon x1950pro, 2gb PQI 800mhz ddr2, samsung t166 500gb, scythe ninja plus, antec slk3700amb, Hec PM-420PB.

    Have you checked if all power connectors for board and video card are properly connected?
    Board:
    - 20/24-Pin ATX
    - 4-Pin +12V CPU (connector cables should be black/yellow, otherwise it is additional 4-Pin plug for the 20+4 ATX connector above)
    Video Card:
    - 6-Pin +12V PCIe

    Take the board out of the case and test it on a non-conducting surface in barebone confuguration (just CPU, video card, one stick of RAM, power connectors, keyboard).  Clear CMOS with main A/C power connector removed from PSU after hardware changes.  See if that changes anything.

  • NO POST-P35 Neo Combo-F

    Good morning all,
    I just purchased a P35 Neo Combo-F along with new RAM and MSI NX8500-TD512EH video card.  Assmebled everything and no posting at all, no beeps or video.  The fan on the power supply will sometimes stop for a few seconds but then will start again and stay on.  I then went and got a 600 watt power supply but the same thing happens, stops for a few seconds and starts again and stays on.
    This is all that is connected in the case:
    - P35 Neo Combo-F
    - Pentium D 940
    - OCZ fan
    - CORSAIR XMS2 2GB
    - Video card - MSI NX8500-TD512EH
    Any ideas?   I've cleared the BIOS and taken out the battery, removed board from case and tried that.  Any help or directions would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks guys,
    de Erro

    Test your board outside your case on a non-conducting surface in barebone configuration (CPU, video card, one stick of RAM in Slot1, power connectors).  Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU.  See if that changes anything.

    Does this video card have its own power connector?

    What is the amperage limit on the +12 rail? (check PSU sticker)
    Is it this model? --> http://www.buypcdirect.com/product.aspx?pf_id=psu-bcc-okia600-blk
    If the specs shown on that site are accurate, the amperag limit is only 24A/12V (288W).  That rating is very low for a 600W-PSU, which doen't turn your unit into a convincing device. If you can, try a better PSU.

  • MSI P35 Neo Combo and GEIL 2x2GB DDR3 1600Mhz question

    Memory spec for MSI P35 Neo Combo says:
    • Supports two unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066 DRAM. (Max: 4GB)
    If I put GEIL 2x2GB DDR3 1600Mhz, if it cannot work, will I destroy my mobo or memory?

     

  • MSI p35 neo combo 8gb?

    I have msi p35 neo combo(or ms 7365) with 2X2 gb ram(4gb in total) and i want to put 8gb ram.Is it possible to put 8gb on this motherbord and which frequency should it have for new ram?

      Don't know what MB you looked up but what you show is incorrect.
     That P35 Combo MB is made to use either 2 sticks of DDR2 or 2 sticks of DDR3 max of 2 x 2GB of either type. That means 4GB max. If you already have some or can borrow some 4GB sticks to try you won't hurt anything by trying them.
     Main Memory
    • Supports two unbuffered DIMM of 1.8 Volt DDR2 667/800 DRAM.   Max: 4GB
    • Supports two unbuffered DIMM of 1.5 Volt DDR3 800/1066 DRAM.   Max: 4GB
    • Supports dual channel memory architecture.
