[865PE/G Neo2 Series] How to disable Fastwrites in BIOS?

How can I do that? Since I have my new 6800Ultra people keep telling me that I have to disable Fastwrites in the BIOS of the mobo and not only in the VGA driver settings.
But I couldnt find such an option in the BIOS. Im currently using the 2.5 version. Now what?
Thanks in advance for any answers other than "there isnt such an option"! 

So you guys dont have the stuttering issue in FarCry? 
And I know it is caused by the gfx card or its drivers because I didnt have any stuttering with the X800XT PE. Same thing in Colin McRae04 and 05. And 99% of teh answers I got to the question "what should I do" in several hardware forums were "disable Fastwrites in your mobo BIOS".
Maybe none of them had an MSI board.

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] How to correct "Parallel port driver service failed to start"?

    I recently disabled the parallel port in the BIOS (I wasn't using it anyway) to try and free up an IRQ or some system resources, when I installed a firewire controller (which I wanted to have its own IRQ if possible).  Then I periodically started getting this error "The Parallel port driver service failed to start due to the following error:
    The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it."  I Googled this, but any info I found either was not applicable or was in incomprehensible techspeak.  I couldn't figure out how to prevent the error from occurring, so for the time being I re-enabled the parallel port in the BIOS--disabling it didn't free up any IRQ's anyway.    I would like to know more about this, however.  Is there a proper way to go about disabling the parallel port so that this error does not occur?   
    Should it be done before installing Windows?  What are the advantages and disadvantages of disabling the parallel port, other than freeing up IRQ's (as I said, it didn't--unless this also happens only upon Windows install?).  Gurus, please respond!

    That was the first thing I tried.  There is nothing called "parallel port service", nor is there any mention of the parallel port in any of the services listed.   I don't know if it is even using any system resources, anyway.  The ECP Printer Port always had a box checked that said "never use an interrupt" anyway. It has no conflicts or sharing.   Maybe I should leave it alone.  It's just that people always mention disabling it in order to free resources.

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] Suggestions for excellent Air/Fan Cooling - P4 Northwood

    Guys, I need some advice here.  I've got my 2.8 Northwood up to 3.16 (yea, I know, not great or anything but good enough for right now). 
    Anyway, with the coming of the blazing Summer temps hitting Michigan in the high 80-90s, my case and CPU temps are skyrocketing.  I am finding that my idle temps, once at 31C are now at 35-36C, and the CPU temps once at 42C max under load are now reaching 50+ C.  Also, this is the first time in months upon seemingly endless months that I am now getting random reboots, and I am sure it is due to soaring temps and heat problems.  The room temps here are killer, and right now are in the high 70s...    
    I would like to please hear your suggestions/recommendations on a good AIR/FAN cooling solution for my specs I have listed below.  I am looking for something that is not very loud if possible, I welcome and thank you for your comments!

    I only know that I can't suggest a HS and fan because my temperature is higher than my 2.6GHz Northwood's since i decided to install the Thermalright XP90 and the 92mm UFO Thermaltake fan(~82CFM max.). I recently discovered an old picture from Speedfan saying CPU temp: 40C!!! Now right after boot up, I get 40-44C idle and it can climb up to 60C at full load. I know for a fact that air flow is bad inside the case but it's unbelievable to have 40C+ idle. It can't possibly be the air flow so soon after boot. The pressure (and contact) on the CPU was enough to actually see my CPU stuck on the base of the HS after removing the HS!!! A few pins had to be straightened too.
        So, from my experience I think you already rock, since we have 30C(86F) already where I live. The feeling of the XP90 crashed under my boot will ease my pain...Oh, yes it will.
    P.S. I 'll give the Arctic Silver a try before smashing the XP90 junk...

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] Question-boot from Promise IDE on 865PE Neo2 FIS2R

    I bought my first MSI board a couple of years ago, an 865PE Neo2-LS. When I retired that, I went for an Abit 875P IC7-G. I just hated the Abit board, used it 3 months and replaced it with a new MSI 865PE Ne02 FIS2R.
    I didn't reinstall WIndows XP Pro with the new motherboard. Everything seemed to be OK until I could get around to a clean install of XP. One reason I wanted the FIS2R model was that I wanted to use the faster Promise IDE connection for my boot drive. I had a heck of a time getting the drive to boot, but it finally worked. I was having a few problems that I thought a repair reinstall of XP might solve. So, I tried that yesterday.
    Now I cannot get the same drive to boot from the Promise IDE controller. I saw that setting were changed in the BIOS and I can't figure out how to set them so I can boot from the C: drive on the Promise. It will boot fine from the regular primary IDE controller, but I want to use that for two other hard drives I use for storage. The secondary IDE connection is for a CDRW and DVDRW drives.
    I've looked at the FAQs and read the manuals. How do I just use the IDE on the Promise? What should my BIOS settings look like? The Promise drivers are installed on the boot drive, the system will post and I'll see a flash of the Windows XP intro screen, then a flash of a blue screen and it kicks it back to booting again. I've never been able to see what that blue screen is telling me. THe drives I want to put on the Promise controller are PATA drives, I don't want SATA or RAID, just using the Promise as a third connection for IDE drives.
    Thanks for any help anyone can offer. I have tried every imaginable way of setting the BIOS, but can't seem to hit the right combination. That's what I did on my first try when I got it working, hit a lucky combination and it worked.

    Thank you. I had already tried the settings in the post you linked to. I had no luck there. I've reinstalled the Promise drivers, but the boot drive refuses to go past the Windows flash screen before resetting. I think it's quite simple what I'm trying to do. I have six drives. On IDE 1 I want to two storage drives to be connected. On IDE 2 I'm putting the Cd and DVD optical drives. On IDE 3 (Promise) I would like to have my boot (master) drive and a slave drive. Rearranging cables I can get the drive to boot from IDE 1, but no luck with IDE 3. I think it's the Promise drivers, they appear to be installed, but I don't think they are working. I'm going to copy the Promise drivers to a floppy and reinstall XP with the boot drive on IDE 3 and see if I get anywhere with that.
    The link referred more to SATA and RAID setup, I just want to use the Promise IDE. I'd sure hate to have to put the awful Abit IC7-G back in my system as I can only get 5 IDE devices in that one instead of the 6 the MSI should run.

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] RAID 1 on 865 NEO2-LS

    Hi.
    I'd llike to know if it is possible to configure RAID 1 on MSI 865PE Neo2-LS. Originally I think it wasn't possible but on the bios updates there is this note (version 1.5, updated on 2003-9-8): "Add Intel ICH5 RAID1 function."
    So does anyone know if it is possible? If so, can you give me a link on how to or any kind of hints?
    Thank you.

    The LS uses the ICH5 chipset. The ICH5R is required for raid. The note refers that the original bios was raid 0 only.
    You can always buy a PCI SATA raid card.

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] DDR Memory with 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum

    SYSTEM SPEC: 400w PSU, Pentium 4 3.2ghz 800mhz FSB (HT), Matrox Parhelia 128 8x AGP card, MSI Neo2 PFS Platinum motherboard.
    Hi there. Im looking for some serious help with my computer. I have a MSI 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum mobo and have been using 512mb DDR RAM with it- the ram is PC2700 (333mhz), non-ECC, ubuffered, non-parity, 184 pin. Now, I have just purchased a new DIMM. This one is
    1gb PC3200 (400mhz), non-ECC, Unbuffered, non-parity, HIGH DENSITY- DUAL IN LINE, 128 x 64, 184 pin
    It doesnt work and my system refuses to boot up. I checked out the specs of the 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum, and it says in the table that you can only use 400mhz DDR RAM with an 800mhz FSB processor (which I have). It says it supports 400mhz RAM, "DUAL CHANNEL", non-ECC, unbuffered memory, but no mention of "HIGH DENSITY" or "DUAL IN LINE". Is there a difference between "DUAL CHANNEL" and "DUAL IN-LINE". Also, does anyone know what the difference is between 128 x 4 and 128 x 64, they are both 1gb? SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!! I have seen some RAM from the same dealer which is not "HIGH DENSITY" and has the 128 x 4 configuration, and is still a 1gb module. Is that safe to buy? What RAM do I need (in detail) for my motherboard. Thanks!

    Always useful with a complete systemspec.including PSU and biosversion, so please make one.
    Can´t see anything wrong with the basic RAM specification - it also matches the MoBo basic specifications:
    - Supports four unbuffered DIMM of 2.5V DDR SDRAM.
    - Supports up to 4GB memory size without ECC.
    - Supports Dual channel DDR266/333/400/433/466/500/533 MHz and up.
    Have you tried removing the old RAM and booting only with the new 1GB stick alone ?
    Using mixed RAM, sometimes works in "Single mode" (see mobo manual), but is not recommended.
    Running Dual-channel ( 2x512 or 1024x2 ) is preferable and gives best performance, but then you need two identical sticks.
    You may also need to increase RAM voltage some in bios (example 2.7v) to achieve best stability.
    If you have some RAM compability issues with 1GB sticks - 2x512 RAM stick would be safer and give better performance, unless your aiming for more then 2GB in total.
    You can also read about the RAM testreport here;
    http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/testreport_pdf/6728v2.0/memory.pdf
    About "Dual In line Memory Module" - I think it´s the long version for older DIMM description.
    Just like "Double Data Rate" is the long version for DDR RAM.
    DDR means Double Data Rate RAM (in opposition to the SDRAM or Single Data Rate). DDR RAM bends the transfer rate for clock cycle. It can go quicker because it executes 2 instructions for cycle of clock of the RAM instead of an only instruction like it is the case of the SDR.

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] Zalman CPU cooler doesn't fit, Northbridge Sink remove?

    Hi,
    I have a problem fitting a Zalman (CNPS7000B-Cu) cpu cooler - the MSI northbridge sink is too high and too close to the cpu.
    Can I replace the NB sink with one with a lower profile?
    ( Incidently, I'm not overclocking, although I do use this machine as an audio machine and it does get quite hot.
    - If I can replace - any recommendations?
    - If not - any recommendations for a reasonably priced and quiet cooler that will fit (i.e with a narrow profile).

    I had the same problem on my 865PE Neo2-PFS Platinum Edition mobo. Zalman's website indicated that the CNPS7000a-AlCu fits on this board, but it doesn't. The diagonally placed northbridge heatsink is in the way. I originally thought I'd bend a few of the Zalman's fins out of the way, but then I decided if I could do something with the northbridge heatsink. I removed the northbridge heatsink and removed the 2 fins that were in the the way of the Zalman. I wanted to repalce the modded northbridge heatsink using some AS5 but the stock thermal goo (some pink stuff) was impossible to get off, even with alcohol or acetone. So I smeared some AS5 on anyway and just mooshed the heatsink back on with the pink junk and AS5.
    I noticed that the northbridge gets really hot at stock speeds (200 FSB). I'm planning on overclocking my 2.4C to 3GHz (250 FSB) today, so I hope the northbridge doesn't burn up. Gonna aim a fan at it and hope for the best.
    Hope the "bend 2 fins off the northbridge heatsink mod" helps all you guys that want to put Zalman's on your CPU's.

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] DRAM Timing is too tightly, Press any key to reset DRAM timing

    hello,
    i need some help.
    I have been using this system for 1 year and 4 months now. A few days ago, when I booted up my computer, the message "DRAM timing is too tightly. Press any key or DEL to reset DRAM timing." appeared before it started detecting hard drive and CD-ROMS. I pressed a key and the computer continued as normal.
    This morning, the problem got worse. I started my PC but my screen remained blank. The HDD light and CD-ROM light came on but the power light remained off. I turned off the PC by holding the power switch. When i turned it on again, it was the same situation but the power light started blinking. I turned off the PSU power from my wall socket and waitied about 1 minute. I turned it on again and the power light started blinking again but slower this time. I repeated the on/off steps by using the power button 2-3times. Finally, I tried pressing a few keys on my keyboard and the power light stopped blinking and remained green. I turned the PC on/off again and this time, it succeded in booting up.
    And the DRAM messge appeared again.
    I was like trying to start a car on a cold day... only after turning the key a few times did the engine start....
    I've no idea what is happening here.

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] HELP Please? 865PE Neo2 3.0 HT Engineering Sample

    I just recently purchased a Neo2 865pe motherboard. I have a  Engineering sample 3.0ht 800mhz proc. I used my ES proc from my asus runnin 3.2ghz@800mhz. I install the proc into the MSI and it came up with 1.6ghz. So I tried to up the cpu multiplier it starts from rang e15x and goes to 21x, but even if I set it to 21x I only still get best 2.25mhz. Can someone please point me to a solution. Thank you.

    Engineering Samples are like Test beds CPU, which means that it may not work with all boards.
    Like what Wonk has mentioned,increased your FSB from 100MHz to 200MHz with Multiplier of x16 and DDR RAM to be clocked at only 400MHz to obtain the 3.2GHz clock of your CPU.

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] Memory timings and power settings anyone?

    I'm not very good with computers, so I've just played around with the timings on my memory, but have not found one stable setting as of yet.
    The memory is brand new and I've tested it for errors on my brothers computer and there's nothing wrong there.
    Intensive harddrive usage, dvd playing and intense downloading while listening to music are sure ways to crash my system. "..........Not less or equal" is the most common error message, but there are
    many many more.
    Oh, maybe I should point out that overheating's not an issue, cause I've good fans and run my computer without sidepanels.
    I also like to say that I have the first generation of p4 with ht and 533fsb.
    I'm sure there's something I forgot to mention but here below I'll paste the system summary that Sandra gave me.
    Would be forever grateful if someone could help me out with the memory timings and power settings for my board. Setting it to "auto by spd" gives me a very unstable system, so no avail there.
    I'm running the mem at 2.70 and sometimes at 2.65, since these two settings seem to be the ones with least crashes.
    The Memory installed are 4*512mb ,kingston 512 kvr333x64c25 pc2700
    The PSU is a Tagan "TG480-u01" 480w
    Many many thanks in advance guys.

    Thanks for your answers.
    Danny: 1. Yes, I've put my memory in my brothers computer, and ran memtest there, and it came out ok, but on mine it crashes almost instantly.
              2. Yea, I have 2 fans blowing into the case and one out, so airflow is good, cpu is also cool and seems to be happy ;-)
    Geps:  I can't say I understand all these numbers but there are som specs here as an example, Tagan TG480-U01 480W ATX
    I can't imagine that this psu ain't enough, and if so.....I've been had by the dealer. 

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] I Messed Up My Computer Really Bad

    Wow.  Where to begin.
    I was in my BIOS looking at DRAM timings and Frequencies... noticed that there for DDR500 it had (4:5), which I presume means the RAM runs out-of-sync with the processor.  I tried it out to see what it would do.
    Well, my computer wouldn't boot.  And it wouldn't revert back to default BIOS settings which it normally does when I set something in the BIOS that it doesn't like.  And I thought the appropriate course of action in this situation was to reset the CMOS battery.  Evidently it was not the right thing to do, because it screwed everything up royally.
    After resetting, I booted up and saw some CoreCell logo which I've NEVER seen before, ever.  Instead of going to the screen which shows the Energy Star logo and lists all my hardware being checked, it goes to a couple lines saying something about Realtek Gigabit Ethernet controller.  It busies itself for a few seconds, then says 'Boot Failed.  Insert Boot Disk and press any Key'.  Uh-oh.
    I restart and try to get into my BIOS.  It gives me options of either press F1 to go into Setup or F2 to Load Defaults or some damn thing.  Eventually I get into the BIOS and its blue instead of red, like it always has been.  All my options are obliterated - it doesn't even list any hard drives anywhere.  Evidently it isn't recognizing either of my hard drives.  I go into my motherboard manual and find the section about On-Chip IDE configuration.  I don't even remember what the hell these settings were on before I screwed everything up.   ATA Configuration was on PATA Only, SATA Keep Enabled was set to No.  I don't know why because both of my drives are SATA.
    I try setting SATA Keep Enabled to Yes, then reboot.  It boots, and I'm finally here back in Windows.  My system clock was five years off, but my data is here.  It also detected some new Audio Hardware, but i just canceled.
    Good god, someone please help me out here.  I'm afraid to even shut off my computer or even mess with anything for fear of not even being able to get back into Windows.

    OK, I went into the BIOS and put everything back to how it should be.  A few things were strange though:
    The order of the devices in Standard CMOS Features is different then it used to be.  Before, the DVD drive was Primary IDE Master, the CD-RW the Primary IDE Slave, my boot HDD was Third IDE Master and my data HDD Fourth IDE Master.  Now, my boot HDD is Primary IDE Master, data HDD is Secondary IDE Master, DVD Drive is Third IDE Master and CD-RW is Third IDE Slave.
    Some of the voltages and frequencies were set to strange values.  I thought the default AGP voltage was 1.5 and DDR voltage default 2.5.  When I went into the BIOS the AGP voltage was 1.7 and the DDR Voltage 2.75.  Before this all happened I had them set at 1.6 and 2.8 respectively.  I changed them to those values and it booted fine.  The 1.7 in particular worried me a little, because I remember reading somewhere that upping AGP voltage too far can do nothing but harm.
    Its still a blue screen instead of red.  I know this is trivial, but when the color's different, one tends to think that some setting is different, or the version is different, somehow.  There isn't any background color setting in the BIOS that I know of.
    I know I was overreacting a little, but it was too late at night and all I could think of was how I couldn't access the ten-page research paper that's on my hard drive, due in a couple days.   

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] Why do I have a big ol' amount of space reserved for an MFT on my SATA drive?

    The hard drive is on the promise controller and for some reason it has a large amount of space used for the MFT when even my system drive and my other storage drive, both located on the INTEL SATA ports do not have this space set aside.

    how do you figure out that? How large amount is that?

  • [865PE/G Neo2 Series] CPU VCore CPU Voltage funny looking after Flash Update 3.A

    Hi There,
    I have just updated the flash on my computer thru the LiveUpdate running on windows 2000 (without a floppydisk),... the flash ran thru without error and rebooted,... then i ran thru the BIOS settings and came to Frequency/Voltage Control,... BLIP said the computer and then i saw the CPU Voltage (V) saying = ╕65¤ ┐   (not really this sign: ¤ but it is as close as i can get it tiny o with a line on top and buttom of it)
    However the system seems (so far (still with the SATA shutdown problem) ) be working fine,... as long as i keep CPU Vcore Adjust on NO,...
    I tried reflashing the system,.. same result, i tried coldbooting,... same thing,...
