[875P Neo Series] trouble shooting assistance

I have a 875p neo with a pentium4 3.2ghz processor...i have a few diff profiles set up for gaming, normal use ect....the system booted up went to my selection screen for profile selection and hung up ...after a few minutes i shut it down and restarted now all i get is all the fans work including my video board ones theD Bracket lights all start as green and none change ....no beeps at all....im suspecting the processor is damaged...i do use a zalman pure copper heat sink for cooling ...other than that im guessing memory or video board...but memory id be supprised both sticks are bad at once and ive tried each seperately...im real supprised this has happened my system for the most part has been trouble free.....im using a gig of 3200 series kingston...a msi video board the 256 meg 5900 model... and a westen digital 80gig hard drive, sony cdrw...any suggestions would be appreciated
thanks in advance...

i would not even try to power up the sys untill the psu is in place,if the cpu failed and needs a warranty replacement i dont think you will get any fuss out of intel,BUT you may have other problems looming that may appear at some time or another,lack of AMPERAGE {not voltage} can have a very NEGATIVE affect on the sys as a whole,if it is a mobo failure you should be ok with that also,it just takes a long time during a RMA process since it usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to complete each,mark it up to a learning experence,the PSU {imo} IS the most important piece of hardware that you or anyone will purchase for a computer !

does anyone use the dlink lights at all...and is it a reliable troubleshooting tool
,i donot use it but many here do and find it very usefull. also look here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=34535.0;all
also the battery can have a bad contact which can cause a no post,also the psu connector pins can become dislodged and push back and cause arching {because of current jumping} that can be harmfull to the pins and sockets.
hope this helps!

[875P Neo Series] trouble with AMI 3.6 bios

ever since i flashed my system with the newest bios (AMI 3.6) for my board ...ive had weird trouble with my graphics cards ...so now i want the old one that came with the board back instead ..but dumb as i was i didnt make backup of it :/ can someone with this board plz try to help me out with that def bios?
i would be very thankful ...ive tried everywhere to find it ..but no luck ...
hopefully ill get some help here ...my last hope i think

Relax, I have a sulotion to youre problem. All the BIOS ver. are availeble on MSI's
site. Here is the link, just pick the one you want.
A little tip, start Live update and macke a rescue disk. When you made the disk, close live update. Rename the BIOS file(e.g A6758IMS.360) you wanna flash to AMIBOOT.ROM, and paste it onto the rescue disk. Say yes to overwrite the existing file. Put the disk in youre floppydrive and rebot.
This works fine on my system.
Anyway, good luck:biggthumbsup:

[875P Neo Series] problems powering up when sata on ich5r is enabled

Hello, there is a problem on my 875 neo fis2r motherboard.
In the "integrated peripherals"-->"on chip ide" section on the bios (v2.4), when i leave the option "sata keep enabled" to yes, i have problems on system power up.
I switch on my computer and there might be half a minute or more until i here the "beep" on the motherboard and boot from my HD.
Could anybody know what is wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help

Hey Grigo,
For that set up, I would recommend trying the following settings:
On Chip Operate Mode: Native
ATA Configuration: S-ATA Only
SATA Keep enabled : Yes
PATA Keep enabled : Yes
That's how I set up my old 875P without trouble when I installed a pair of drives in RAID 0. In your sig I don't see two drives, so I'm not sure what else to provide. (whether you are building a new comp or upgrading to RAID 0 etc)
For further reference, have a look at Vango's guide to RAID setup here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=38845.0

[875P Neo Series] Dead mobo or dying ??

-Motherboard type and model (MSI 875P NEO-FISR)
-Bios type and revision (Latest)
-CPU type and model (3,2 P4 HT)
-Memory name, model and quantity (2 x Kingston KVR400X72C3A/512)
-Video card name and model plus drivers and version (ATI AX800 PRO)
-Power Supply name, model and the amp rating for the +3.3V, +5V and +12V lines plus any limitation on the +3.3/+5V combined watts. This information can be found on a sticker on the side of the supply. (Q-TEQ ATX 350, 3.3V = 20A, 5V = 0,5A + 35A, 12V = 0,5A + 17A, 5VSB = 2A)
-Hard Drives: (2 X 200 GB WD)
-Optical Drives: Manufacturer and type and which IDE ports they are located on: (NONE)
-Operating system and service pack level: XP SP2
the short version:
the mobo went unstable and started hanging when playing 3D aplications like medal of honour, wolfenstein ET and others...
then the hangs started occuring more rapidly, and now the pc starts VERY randomly
i often have to try to start it 10-15 times before it starts....
the chipset and cpu fan starts, the hd drives starts and the ROM starts, but no signal to vga card.
i have tried to reset chmos, changed vga card, stripped the pc, but nothing works..
and: it has worked for over 7 months without any probs...
is it possible a virus did this ??
can anybody help ???
please ???

350 watts is far to low for your system............
Min AMPS on +12V rail for your system should 24AMPS
Q-Tec do not have good rep and have caused at lot of problems
Try a brand name 450+Watt PSU Enermax or Antec or Hiper series (These I have personally tested)

[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.
Quote
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.
Quote
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 Series] MSI 875P Neo-FISR adn ECC registered DIMMS

I have purchased the MSI 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) and installed a 512MB DDR333, PC2700, CL2.5, ECC registered dimm (HYS72D64300GBR-6-C) but the system won't boot up. I have a Intel Pentium 4 3 GHZ CPU, 512K cache, 800 MHZ bus installed. When I install a 512MB PC2100 unregistered the system works OK, but not with the registered ECC registered DIMM. In the manual it is quoted as saying it supports this type of memory. I have updated the BIOS to the latest version from the MSI website. Any ideas ????

BIOS 1.8 for 875P NEO Series

Just curious if anyone has downloaded and successfully flashed their 875P NEO boards to the current BIOS version of 1.8. If so, is your system stable?
Is another BIOS update just around the corner for the 875P or is the 1.8 the latest and greatest BIOS update?
Thanks for any info,

Quote
... what did they correct in the 1.93 Beta?
As advised:
875P Neo MS-6758 BIOS V1.9 Beta 3 (1.93) dated 2003/10/02
This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:
- update microcodes,
- modify HT support,
- Prescott support,
- fixed ICH5 SATA HDD incompatibilities issue,
- remove chinese language support
The promised DOT option still isn't available in BIOS setup!
Note some of the changes from the previous 1.82 Beta were not put in the 1.80 Release ... so which new fixes go in the final release (and when) is still uncertain.

[875P Neo Series] USB Flash Drive Boot?

I've got a 875P Neo-FIS2R MB, MS-6758 (v.1.x) with AMI Bios 1.6. Before purchasing a USB Flash drive, I'd like to know whether this MB can boot from it.
Any help appreciated

[875P Neo Series] To Upgrade or not??

I have a 875P neo-LSR 6758, Im trying to decide what I should upgrade too? This is what I have P4 2.6, 160gig/ 512Mb 333mhz memory single dimm, with a spectrum 7f Geforce MX440, I want to use this with a 2O or 24inch monitor in my room as a media center p/c. I want it to be capable to gaming, surfing, some small video editing of Family vids and tv recording once or twice a week ( history channel) and just be a all around very capable computer. Im thinking of going to a 3.2 extreme 478 pin, 2Gb (2dimms) of RAM, add 2 more hard drives probably 250's and a all in wonder xt800 card AGp of course b/c of mother Board. All this will equal to about 900-1000$. Should I put this into this mother board??? I believe everything will work and I can latter switch to a pci compatible board and new processor the transfer everything else over.Will take any info you guys want to dish out. Todd

Two generations? I thought its last generation, I mean the S775 9xx boards are the latest generation, right?
I think he might be right about the Two generations thing.
Next Gen = 975X (Can't Wait!!! )
Current Gen = 945 & 955 (These mobos support Dual Core)
Last Gen = 915 & 925 (True DDR2 came into play w/ these mobos)
Two Gen = 865 & 875 (These boards support DDR400 & 8X AGP + SATA)

[875P Neo Series] 875P Neo P MS-6758(V2.X) PAT Function!

When I Use four Kingston DDR400 memories on the four slots,as though in BIOS I set Performace mode in Turbo(MAT or PAT),the PAT function can't be opened !
the following is my result from CPU-Z
but when just use two 512Mb kingston memories put in slot1 and slot3,The PAT enabled

Quote
How can they cheat the customers!
Who is "they"?
Read P4 Neo Unofficial Guide. PAT is explained there. You will see that PAT is not a performance feature that is turned on, it is a feature that allows your memory to function properly at 800 FSB that is turned off.
Have you attempted any benchmarking with software you actually use to determine whether your performance has actually dropped?

[875P Neo Series] Won't boot, 4 burning LEDS

Hi,
My computer, based on neo fis2r 875 with a p4 2.8 ghz 800fsb proc, worked perfectly for 2 years.
Yesterday it didn't boot anymore.
- the d-bracket gives me 4 burning leds (this means system booting?).
- no lights on the mouse or keyboard are burning
- stripped components one after another, same error
- system doesn't give error beeps
- system doesn't give the single booting beep
- no shortcircuit
- every fan in the case is on as usual
Is the cpu or mainbaord dead now?
Any ideas?
Regards,
Michel

If your devices workin properly in other computer, change your mainboard. What PSU you have? it's have Overvoltage protection? If you dont close the PSU when u shut down your computer, the PSU is giving power in all devices and it's dangerous for your computer. I lost my screen like this, but not my computer cause im always close my PSU
im a smart girl
Hey Din,
The pc is equipped with an Antec Truepower 480W PSU.
Is there no chance the CPU is fried? Changing the mainboard is more work then changing the CPU .

[875P Neo Series PCB 2.0] HDD LED & ATA133 support

Hi
I am using the MSI 875P NEO2-FIS2R (MSI 6758) PCB 1.0 and, as most user's know, the HDD LED does not function when S-ATA HDD's are connected to any of the S-ATA ports or when the drives are connected to IDE 3. (I.e. the LED only works when HDD's are connected to IDE1 or IDE2).
Can anyone tell me for sure, if MSI have resolved the HDD LED problem on MSI 875P NEO2-FIS2R (MSI 6758) PCB 2.0?
Also, I have just bought two Maxtor 250GB P-ATA133 drives and, if I'm not mistaken, there is no Promise Controller on PCB 2.0. So does that mean my drives will only operate at UDMA 5 instead of UDMA 6?
And lastly, what are the differences between PCB 1.0 and PCB 2.0?
Regards
Brave01Heart

Hi Danny & Thunder
Many thanks for your responses.
Danny: Yes, I understand what you are saying about the transfer rates but despite that, provided my Maxtor ATA133 drives (with a 16MB cache) were connected to IDE3 on a PCB 1.0 board, they would be detected as ATA133 drives and UDMA6 would still be shown during POST and also in Device Manager.
# Perhaps you would like to comment on my questions for Thunder?
Thunder: It's nice to know that the HDD LED is now working for S-ATA connected drives on PCB 2.0 of the MSI 875P board, but am I correct in saying that there is no support for ATA133 drives on the PCB 2.0 board?
If your answer is no, then with the primary/secondary IDE1 & IDE2 ports being ATA100, why on earth have MSI removed the IDE3 port on PCB 2.0 version, thus removing all support for ATA133 drives?
That seems crazy to me!
I was going to buy the MSI 875P PCB 2.0 board but if version 2 no longer offers any ATA133 support for my drives, then I may as well stick with PCB 1.0.

[875P Neo Series] lost DVDrom

Could anyone help me with the settings for the "on-chip IDE Settings"?
I have 2 maxtor 160g SATA drives (no set up in an array) and a MSI DVD writer (DR16-B2) conected to the primary IDE channel.
The dvd rom is not seen by the system (windows XP sp2) or listed in the bios settings "standard Cmos settings"
MSI 6758 (875-P series)
2*512 DDR 400 (generic)
2*Maxtor 160gig SATA hd
MSI DR16-B2 DVD writer

In bios under Integrated Peripherals, On Chip ATA Operating Mode set
Native Mode
ATA Configuration - PATA only
SATA Keep enabled - yes
PATA Keep enabled - yes
PATA channel selection - both
If this doesn't let you boot, change to
ATA Configuration - SATA only
After making/saving these changes you should go back into the bios on the first reboot and make sure the right boot drive is selected.

[875P Neo Series] issues with Sapphire X850XT GDDR3 256mb

hi guys .... i got this weird trouble with my g-card ..i thought it was the bios but have tried all there is now ...no difference at all
i get some dissrupts in all games ... and all runs slow (usually faster with my old ati 9800 pro card the one that broke for me)
i have also tried to move my s-card around ... no diff ....tried the latest ATI drivers (5.3) and backwards ..no diff at all
its running on 1.5v (also tried 1.55v) and also tested to give the memorys some more volt up to 2.75..
can it be a bios settings thing maby?
or maby the SATA controller is messing with it ? a well ...im fumbling in dark now =)
hopefully someone has had the same thing

its there or there abouts i think, i get around the 5300 - 5400 mark depending on when i run it :S
Last night i tried turning of fast writes (in catalyst control centre, cant find it in BIOS) ive swapped the memory round to be in single channel and also underclocked the card 20 of both memory timings and core. Whilst this makes no difference to game performance and only lost me about 40 3D mark 05 points it didnt crash after, so ill run it like that over the next few days to see what it does then reintroduce each setting till i can recreate the problem.
Oh and in addition, i think its a MB problem, when it boots it says at the top "bo BIOS installed" despite being the latest release (its always done this) sometimes it says that the DDR timings are to tight even though they are set at a loose 3-3-3-8 and ive never been able to get 4 sticks of ram working either in dual channel, they will work individually or in matched pairs but if i put all 4 in it hates it, Memtest found around 4million errors in 1 pass but if you check them in 2's in either of the banks its fine :S.
The MB is also set to "slow" as increasing this setting makes it unstable.

[875P Neo Series] Not booting

Components : 875 P motherboard. 1.5gb 3200 RAM, Two pairs of 256 and 500 respectively. Two 150gb HHD's set up as Raid for speed.
Changed components to put in a new case to assist in cooling. Jeantech Apollo. Discovered hadn't wired up fans correctly when system kept switching off automatically. Rectified but now when starts up, hear slight HHD activity but nothing else. Fans running. No graphics.
Any ideas. Is there a way of testing components - ie Motherboard and CPU

Check the powerconnectors ( 4-pin cpu and 20pin MoBo ) and try to boot with only 2x256 or 1 x512 RAM and as few other USB and IDE devices as possible and see if i makes any differans.
