[875P Neo FIS2R] Dead Mobo or dead CPU?

I've got the Neo FIS2R (PCB 1.0) version with a nothwood 2.8C CPU and all of a sudden, a couple of days ago my system stopped working.
When I press the power button the fans work just for an instant and then everything stops...
 One thing I've noticed though is that, either with or without the cpu on the board, when the 4-pin 12V connector is not connected, I can power up the system and I got 4 green leds on the D-bracket. Once I connect the 12V again, I cant power up my system
I've tried with a different PSU and with all the cards, drives etc disconnected and I get the same results.
If anyone has any idea, if it is the CPU or the mobo that is dead, please, please tell me 

Hi Maesus thanks for your input.
The problem is that i dont have access to another S478 board, if I did things would be much simpler indeed...
By the way another thing that came into my mind, is that I have 1GB RAM (2x512MB dual channel at "fast" setting in the bios) and I had overclocked the CPU from [email protected] by increasing the FSB @ 215MHz. I had also increased the core voltage of the CPU @ more than 1.6V. The AGP and PCI buses were left at default speeds but the AGP voltage was increased a little as in some games I overclocked the video card as well from inside the windows.
The past couple of weeks or so, I had all kinds of BSODs (from STOP 0x0000007f errors to IRQL_NOT_LESS...) out of the blue quite frequently, either when running specific applications or completely randomly.
I am mentioning the above, because I've read in other forums that it is a frequent phenomenon for Northwood CPUs to die when increasing the core voltage above a level (SNDS) and one of the symptoms indicating that the CPU is dying is frequent BSODs a few weeks before they die.
In fact, before my system died, I had a BSOD and after that the computer shut down and couldnt be turned on again (I saw the BSOD when I was sleeping...but not in my dreams  and the next morning the system was dead. I have disabled the auto-restart after a BSOD in the windows).
Any help will be appreciated.

  • Dead 875P NEO-FIS2R???

    Hello All,
    I have been running a 875P NEO-FIS2R board with 3GHz (800FSB) and 1GB (2x512MB Corsair 3200LL TwinX) without issue for the last couple months.
    The board was running 1.71 (again for a couple months) Bios.  I decided to play with the "Performance Mode" settings.  Upon setting this to "Ultra Turbo" the board got stuck rebooting, I eventually had to power it down.
    When I tried to start it up again it appeared the card was not getting to the POST (with no display output).  The D-LED is showing it is getting stuck at the "Keyboard Initialization".
    I have tried clearing the CMOS (several times) with the jumper to no avail.
    Tried removing one stick of memory, and then the other with no change as well.
    I am wondering if maybe this fried my motherboard, or worse my 3GHz processor!  It takes only a few seconds (maybe 5 or so) for the processor to become nearly untouchable.
    Something else I noticed is if I boot the system without the supplemental 4-pin CPU power connector, the D-LED reports all 4 LEDs green (but still wont POST or boot).  Not sure if this helps point to anything.
    My wife has a P4 system as well, however it is a 533FSB, does anybody know if I can put an 800FSB into a 533FSB motherboard (I know the clock will probably not show correctly, but will it work)?  I just want to test my processor.  I know the 875 can take the 533, but I am afraid it will fry her processor as well (so I am a little reluctant to try it this way around).
    How likely is it that my memory got toasted?  Anybody know what the D-LED would report if I were to remove all the sticks of memory?  Unfortunately I can't test my memory in my wife's motherboard because she has an 850E chipset motherboard running 1066 RAMBUS)
    Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.
    Best regards,
    Gavin

    My Man; First you should Have started a NEW Thread, as this one is Almost 1 Year Old ...Now my First question is, What do you Mean you "Erased the BIOS" ?, Do you mean that you "Cleared the BIOS Settings" with the J-BAT1 Jumper? (Because if you "Erased the BIOS, The Board is Now Dead, and you must return it to have the BIOS Reprogramed,  Because the 1 Thing about the MSI Boards is the C-MOS Chip is Soldered onto the Board, it is NOT Socketed)....If you Just Cleared the BIOS Settings then we have a Couple of things to try......But Please you wont get anywhere by Trying to BOOT without the CPU , As that is Like trying to Talk to someone without your BRAIN Installed into your Head ....And the ONLY Grease that you Really Should use Between the CPU and the HSF, is a Quality Thermal Compound, that is Made Just for this Purpose, otherwise regular Grease will either Burn (and Dry Out) or, it will NOT Conduct the Proper amount of Heat away from the CPU.......So Please Tell me where you stand on My First Question about the BIOS, as if you Truelly Erased it, then Nothing that I can do Will Help You ...............Sean REILLY875

    Hi,
       I just built a new machine with the 875P Neo-FIS2R, and it was working fine. I read that there were problems with the BIOS V1.3. Of course, I had to update my BIOS. I saw V1.4 was out and figured it was safe and fixed. So I used MSI's LIVE BIOS to flash the BIOS in Windows mode. I have done this before with my other MSI board and had no problems. The flashing process went successful, and asked me to reboot. Then when I did it never came back up. No video or POST beep. I tried switching out memory, clearing the CMOS, and even changing to my older GF3 card. Nothing worked. Can someone tell me what to do? I want my PC to work.... Again.

    I took out the battery and tried but it didn't work. Then I took a stick of pc2100 ddr out of my older machine and put it in, and it booted! Then I swapped out back to my new ddr 400 and it booted! Okay, so now when it boots, it says no BIOS installed and acts like I never had win xp on it. So thats alright, I can reload it, but My Cmos is like it was in 1999. Do I just load the defaults then fix it back to where it was and reload windows? Or do I need to slow down dram timings and reload windows and flash bios back to V1.2?

  • 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)

  • 875P NEO FIS2R repaired

    My board which died with BIOS 1.3 was repaired by the reseller today. I witnessed the process and thought you guys would like to know.
    This guy knew from experience that an 800MHz CPU wouldn't work when trying to get the board back to life again, so first of all he put in a 533MHz CPU (don't know core clock, but doesn't matter I guess)
    Then he took out my 2x512MB samsung PC3200 and put in a single pc2100 module.
    After that he put in this custom (PLC programmer?) card from MSI in a PCI slot and powered up. From the status LEDs on the PLC card he knew it didn't work. Power of and back on: success. Power off and PLC card removed. Power on and boot from floppy to flash BIOS to v1.4. Flash successfull. Power off and power on: dead. Power off, clear CMOS, power on: dead. Power off, remove PC2100 module and insert corsair module (don't know spec, but it had heat-spreader), power on: POST. Entered BIOS and load setup defaults. Reboot: POST. Power off, removed CPU & memory and put my stuff back. Power on: POST.
    System repaired.
    I asked if it is safe to mess with mem timings in BIOS v1.4. He said that it's possible that the board won't POST then, but that can be cured by CMOS clear and when needed only one memory module (no dual channel) to get the board to POST again.
    But I'm not going to try that. SPD is fine for me right now.
    System runs great again.

    I had the exact same problem with my new 875P Neo FIS2R, but after reading the post from Francois I tried my own little test.
    I was upgrading from a 2.26/533 system with 333 memory so, of course, I still had the old CPU and memory.  After being hung on the 'Keyboard Init' step on the D-Bracket after my 1.1 to 1.4 BIOS upgrade I swapped the old CPU and memory onto the board.  Everything worked fine!  I was able to see the 1.4 upgrade took fine.
    Afterwards, I removed the old stuff and put the new stuff back on and it still works.  I have no idea why, just thought I'd share.

    Sorry,but if I got that right,u got a complete new system except the hdd´s.

  • 875P neos fis2r IDE 3 Question

    I have a raid 0 setup on the promise  SER3 and SER4 connectors=sata
    I also have a normal IDE 80 gig that I use for internal music and such. It is alone, no slave with it.
    It was connected to IDE1, but it is soo crammed in there that I decided to move i down below by the SER 3 and SER 4.
    My cdrom and dvd are master slave on IDE2.
    So, when I boot up, my 80 gig on IDE3 is not detected, nor shows up in disk manager.
    How to get it to "notice" it?
    I also have an external esata 500 gig on ser1.
    Any Suggestions?

    Thanks for responding Leekh
    the mobo 875p neo fis2r has 3 ides. 1 and 2 are next to eachother, then the floppy A next to those.
    side by side. IDE 3 is down below-(yellow) next to ser3 ser 4 1st generation sata connetors.
    I Have cdrom/dvd as /master slave on IDE1,
    I moved my 80 gig-xtra drive to IDE 3.-because it was a crammed fir in IDE2.
    my OS is setup on c drive raid 0 with 2x150 gigs via the ser3and ser4 mentioned above.
    to better clarifysee page 2-18 of the manual
    IDE1 blue IDE 2 white
    here is a pic IDE3 is yellow,
    to clarify my whole system.
    my os is on raid0 on the connectors below the yellow. I have one esata 500 gig connected to the bottom orange, ABOVE the yellow. the other one is unoccupied.
    I switched an internal HD from IDE2, to IDE3 (yellow above)-and I cannot get it detected for some reason. I do not know if it is a bios config or not, I go in there,look for 2 secs, and wanna runaway crying to my mommy.
    I copy and paste a review part here.
    " Like all motherboards with an 875P/ICH5(R) chipset combination, there are two Serial ATA connectors located next to the ICH5 South Bridge (ICH5R in the 875P Neo-FIS2R's case). As you may or may not already know, this new South Bridge controls both SATA connectors and in fact allows a stream of 266MB/s of data instead of the slower, PCI bus constrained 133MB/s which can get awfully clogged with having to attend to other needy components. Read through our 875P chipset review to understand the benefits of placing the Serial ATA controller in the South Bridge as opposed to a separate PCI Serial ATA controller.
    " We are very pleased to see that the 875P Neo-FIS2R contains exceptional IDE/Serial ATA drive support. As is always the case there are two standard IDE connectors, dubbed the Primary and Secondary IDE connectors, which support two channels each or up to four IDE drives total.
    The 875P Neo-FIS2R's Promise PDC20378 controller powers the third IDE controller on this motherboard, and is capable of supporting exactly two IDE drives. This same Promise PDC20378 controller also powers two Serial ATA connectors in addition to the two ICH5-bound Serial ATA connectors. You'll be able to connect one drive to each of the four SATA connectors powered by the ICH5 and Promise SATA connectors. So in total, you'll be able to connect four SATA and six IDE drives to this motherboard, which equals a grand total of ten possible drives that can be connected to this motherboard. As we said in our ASUS P4C800 Deluxe review, most desktop users will find this feature to be nice instead of necessary; but there will always be those who desire this capability for something a little more potent than desktop usage.

  • 875P Neo-FIS2R File Copy errors loading Win XP Pro

    While installing WinXP Pro SP 1 I get file copy failures on random files two or three times during  the install. Retry succeeds on the file, but errors keep coming up after install randomly. Explorer crashes on logon, files are corrupt, etc. Tried two different MBs, two different CPUs, two different PSUs, two different sets of RAM, different IDE cables, booting from both DVD Drives, different Win XP CDs. I also tried the same with a Gigabyte 875 board and had exactly the same problem. With the Gigabyte board, if I ran the bus with a setting of 190 or 195 instead of 200MHz, the system ran fine, but then my 2.8GHz CPU is running at 2.66GHz. I can't go slower than 200MHz (but I did try 201 and 202; same errors) on the Neo-FIS2R so I can't find a setting that is stable and that's the board I'd like to be running. Any ideas about what's causing all of these combinations from running stable at a stock setting of 2.8GHz?
    Thanks.

    I am also having trouble with this on xp pro. When fully installed I get many random errors. New at this but have read that if you install a partition more than 137 gb data corruption may occur. So I partitioned the drive 20, 70, 70, and installed xp pro on the 20 gb partition. Per mb and hdd manuals I installed xp sp1. I am still getting random errors. This is the only hdd. Maxtor 160 gb ata 133 on ide1. Is it impossible to run the system this way? It gives me random crashes and stop requests. It also at one point gave me erros saying the cdrom memory is corrupt. Is the hdd drive sze possibly the problem?

  • Probems with msi 875p neo Fis2r and network controller driver

    Hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me with my msi 875p neo FIS2R and problems with the network controller driver/network card.
    I'm running xp on a computer my nextdoor neighbour gave me. I got it working fine  with service pack 3 installed but then installed a bunch of windows updates last night and the computer would switch itself off before windows could start. Now I reinstalled xp and unfortunately it does not recognise the network controller/card at all now. I tried installing the intel network controller drivers but it stopped because it said no intel adapter/card was installed/present. Could anyone please help with suggestions? I tried running everest and under newtwork it doesnt list intel network adapters but I'm pretty certain it is. Again any suggestions?

    Clear CMOS with your PSU unplugged from A/C power.  Then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS and retest.
    thanks jimi... jack
    will try that and post later if it worked... ive never cleared cmos, this sort of thing is relatively new to me but thanks again

    DOS, I did try the memory removal and that did not work.  The sound card is in my signature but is still sitting on the bench waiting installation, so that is not the an issue.  I did, however open my old box and checked it's AGP card and it is a Matrox 400 Dual Head.  I put it in and tested it and it works great, well not great, but it does not have the display issues that the AIW did.  My question is, do you think it is the mobo that cannot support the latest release from ATI?  Or maybe just a bad card?
    medafor, I had already tried that as well.  But thanks for the response!

  • [875P Neo Series] 875P NEO FIS2R - Bootup delay with disk attached to Promise RAID

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R mobo. I just added a 400GB SATA RAID-0 array to the Promise controller and now I get a 50 second bootup delay after the BIOS has run through everything and beeped and before the first WinXP splash screen.
    I boot up from a 160GB SATA RAID-0 array on the intel ICH5R controller. Both arrays work fine from within Windows. I have two DVD drives on the ICH5R PATA connection but nothing else on the Promise.
    If I disable the Promise controller in BIOS the delay goes away.
    I have tried disabling SMART, turning off the quick-boot option with no effect.
    When I first installed my system I tested performance with booting from a single SATA drive on ICH5R vs Promise and I noticed the same issue, but didn't care then because I only needed one disk so I just kept Promise disabled in BIOS.
    Any ideas how I can get around this?
    Regards,
    Jonathan

    Sorry I have been a away for a few days.

    If the Promise controller was out of the picture (Disabled), and you have the SCSI adaptor and its devices setup:
    1. What is the adaptor's SCSI ID?
    7
    Quote
    2. List devices, position in the chain and their corresponding SCSI ID's.
    #7 Adaptec 2930CU card
    #4 Nikon Coolscan LS30 scanner
    #3 Umax Astra 1220S scanner
    #5 Iomega ZIP 100 drive
    Quote
    3. What type of terminination are you using?
    Adaptec card has auto-termination.
    ZIP drive has a termination connector attached.
    Quote
    4. Are the devices in the chain functioning properly?
    Yes.

    I agree that your problem is your SCSI controller. There may not be anything actually wrong with it. The 2930 was an agressive controller card and its BIOS simply may not coexist with your motherboard's BIOS optimally. Even with the BIOS disabled, it may be competing with the motherboard's request for handlers.
    You may want to check to see if there is a BIOS update on Adaptec's website. Adaptec usually released 1 or 2 updates for each SCSI generation they produced. It may or may not help but we need to make sure you have the latest BIOS released.
    Unfortunately, this card cannot be reflashed.

    At any rate, I think you have found the component which is responsible for the delay. I'm willing to assist in diagnosing the issue but I need you to provide the specific information I'm requesting.
    Also, try to do a CTRL-Pause to catch exactly what the BIOS version is and any other information which is showing up with the BIOS disabled. The SCSI adaptor BIOS, in fact, should not be enabled in your SCSI configuration as you have described thus far.
    Adaptec AHA 2930CU SCSI BIOS v1.34.1.
    There seems to be a difference between BIOS and host adapter BIOS. You always get the BIOS screen, but you can disable the host adapter BIOS if it is not required.
    I am pretty sure it is not the SCSI chain that is wonr because the pause happens with nothing connected to the card.

  • 875P NEO FIS2R problems with booting at power-up

    Having problems with booting at power-up.
    Recently, with no apparent modification to system - at power up the system will often not boot.  About 80% of time systems seems to go into a loop with CD/DVD drive light blinking a few times, then the floppy drive light comes on and can hear the FDD run – within 30 seconds or so, this process starts over again.  Power switch LED is on and HDD LED is on (continuously).  All fans are running (power supply fan, case fan, CPU fan and Intel Canterwood 875 fan ).
    Monitor power on light is in power save mode (amber) when system does not boot.  When boot is successful the monitor power light turns green immediately.
    After pressing the reset button several times (varies between pressing reset button 1 time to 30 or more times) system will then boot OK or go into set up.
    Once running there is no apparent problem.
    This mainboard comes with D Bracket containing 2 USB 2.0 ports, and 4 diagnostics LEDs - when boot problem occurs the diagnostic LEDs, give a code that in the MSI mainboard manual states “Initializing Keyboard Controller” and diagnostic LEDs stays in this mode until via reset button provides a successful boot and start up.
    Have reseated all connectors.
    SYSTEM
    Mainboard – MSI 875P Neo FIS2R   (MSI 6758)

    Have you done >>Clear CMOS Guide<<?
    Cleared CMOS - no change same problem.  Also, re-seated all connectors at same time.

    have you just added the second wd drive
    are they jumpered right
    jumperless if alone on ide
    jumpered master /slave if two on it
    No, second 40GB HDD was installed months before this issue started and is jumpered as slave drive.  Also, no other additional hardware installed for several months before issue.

  • MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R support booting from USB devices?

    I am building a super computer using the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R. I would like to either get a USB pen drive, or an external Floppy Disk Drive in place of an internal Floppy Disk Drive.
    Does anyone know if this board supports booting from a USB device?

    I ordered my board as well, however, they were out of stock and it may be as long as 2 weeks before they get more in. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get yours from? I am VERY much excited about getting this board as I only await the MB and CPU. What all are you putting in yours??
    Mine:
    MB-   Obvious
    CPU-  2.4 800Mhz
    RAM-  2 sticks, 256 PC 3200 XMS Corsair using dual channel, at first I think I will use the 512 pc3200 I already have though.
    HDD-  80GIG W/D 7200 RPM ( May get another to run RAID 0)
    VGU-  Chaintech TI4200 at 8x w/ 128 DDR
    CD#1- 52x cd rom
    CD#2- dvd 16x, cdr 48 cdrw24 cdrom 48
    500W raidmax Pwr Sup
    Koolcases Panther case w/ window and 3 80MM/ 1 60MM fans
    For now I will even use the old 3.5 A drive. Just in case.
    Red light internaly
    Digidoc 5 for thermal monitoring on:
    1.cpu  2.ram  3.VGU 4.case 5.HDD 6.other ram 7.chipset 8.dvd for curiousity sake. just curious of the temps they produce. but always able to move it to a more vital area if the need arises.
    Will be upgrading to liquid cooling in the future, that way when I am deployed the temps stay in the blue. (HOPEFULLY)

  • Problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R when tyring to use x4 Crucial 512MB DDR modules

    Hi all
    I have a problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R when tyring to use x4 512MB DDR modules. At first the system seem fine then it just hangs on me. All modules are exactly same and I have tried updating my bios and adjusting the settings but nothing works. My system is fine when using x2 512MB moduels. I have searched the forum and found no clear answer although there are other people with this problem. Please can anyone let me know if there is anything I can do with my current configuration to make the x4 512MB DDR work?
    From other posts I have learned so far that I either have to buy Paired modules from the manufacturer (which is no use because I bought my first x2 DDR a year ago) or only use x2 and now Dabs isnt taking the other x2 that I just bought because there is nothing wrong with the modules themselves (its the mobo).
    I built my system from scratch and wouldnt have been able to have done it without previous assistance so thanks in advance for any help

    Relaxing the timings will enable your RAMs to run at higher latencies so that they do not need to go extra mile to catch up with the transfer rates with the FSB.
    Lowering the frequencies is like underclocking a speedy twin turbo to a standard single turbine which means lowering of speed so that the RAMs can run lower than expectations which'll be able to provide room for o/c'ing back near to its original frequency.

    BIOS is not installled.
    So what is the device that has not been found? And why does the BIOS is not being installed?
    And can someone help me on how to connect the LED cables? i can't make both the LED works.
    Thanks!

    It works. Thanks!  :D
    Currently i'm not using the RAID function. But what if in future i need to use the function? The message wil appear again. How do i fix it? Install the Promise Raid using the disk given?
    The HDD LED is still not working. I've follow the instructions in the manual on connecting the LED to the mobo. Only one LED is functioning.

  • How much phases power supply does the 875P Neo FIS2R got ??

    How much phases power supply does the 875P Neo FIS2R got  ?(
    And will it be enough for the Prescott  ?(

    Prescott will be made on a 0.09u process so it should use less power per MHz, I wouldn't worry about that.
    According to what I see it has 6 power regulators which usually means 3 phase.
