915P neo-2 Platimun + SATA

Okey I have this problem with my SATA drive(Maxtor Maxline III 250gig 16mb Cache), When ever I try to watch videos from them the freeze upp for a second or to now and then. Really annoying to be honest.
Well I have never owned a SATA disc before and have no experience with them,  I just plugge dit in and installed Windows XP pro just as Ive always done.
After that I installed Intel INF Drivers / grafics / sound / Netwaork drivers.  Ive tried downloading some SATA raid drivers from MSI's homepage but get some Error that says something about wrong chipset.
Cd i got with the mainbord freezes upp the system. same with the auto Update thingie ^^
I should add that the videos play perfectly from my IDE drive (Western Digital 160g 8mb Cache)
Hope someone can help me, Im about to through the damn disc out the window and stick with my old IDE disc's ^^

I will miss the fast boot up though
I should mabey add that it has been doin some really strange sounds to
Don't you worry about the fast boot up with your Western Digital IDE Hard Drive, it will boot just as fast should you enable the fast boot option on your bios once you have installed the Windows on the IDE HDD. And integrity and overall efficiency always beats speed hands down.
About your 250 Maxtor HDD, be very careful about the heat it generates as it works. High capacity Maxtor SATA hard drives are known to have a huge heat discharging issue that need to be addressed by proper HDD coolant systems available otherwise you will soon have a dead HDD on your hands.
My suggestion, if you can ditch the Maxtor do so and go for a Western Digital Caviar SE16 with 300 MB/s data transfer rate which is even cheaper than your Maxtor, much easier to handle and also no heat issues and needless to say that performance wise, beats Maxtor's every damn day of the week.

  • New 915P Neo Board won't boot!

    I am in the process of replacing my old PC100 motherboard & Celeron 800MHz CPU with a brand new Intel P4 460 CPU and an MSI 915P Neo Mainboard (MS-1743 Rev. 2B).  I also bought a 512 MB 2-DIMM set of DDR400s.  I haven't been able to purchase a PCI- Express Graphics card yet, so I am using my old ATI Radeon Rage 6 32MB SDR PCI Card for my VGA.  I assembled all of these components with my disk drives (my old floppy and IDE drives-- I don't have any SATA drives yet) in my case with fans and front case connectors for audio & USB, but when I hit the power switch there was a long (like 5 seconds long) low beep, the power LED on my flat-screen monitor would turn green for a few seconds, and then click back to yellow, and for about a millisecond you could hear the PC fans power down, and then the whole process started again with the 5-second long beep, and the whole process would repeat infinitely until I held the power switch down.  I have tried everything I've read in the FAQs and support pages (cleared CMOS, unplugged everything from the M/B except ATX power connectors, case power connectors, video card, and keyboard, seated/unseated/switched around DRAM, etc.) but the same thing happens every time I try to boot up!  I cannot find an exact match in the listings of Award beep codes, but Award does say that continuous beeping may indicate a memory or video error.  Can anyone help me with this?   
    --Thank you.

    Could be a short with the case, i've had this before.
    I suggest stripping the unit down and cover all the MB mount points with insultating tape, where you screw the MB in just pop a hole in the tape to screw threw this way there's no shorting due to the extra mounts found on the MB tray. It only takes one to f*ck the whole thing up.
    LOL    LOL
    Thats a good ideal. Ya you could have a case mount shorting out your mobo.
    That long beep is normaly a memory problem. you say you have tried differant memory. have you Tried a differant GPU yet?
    Also did you get a new PSU or is it the old one you had running the PC100 mobo? if its an old PSU try swapping it out also.
    one more thing, is this you mobo "MSI Part No: MS-7143-030 "?

  • 915P Neo 2 - Problem with detecting SATA disc

    Hi, I wonder if any one can help me with my problem.
    I recently, due to a HD crash, bought a new SATA HD for windows and apps. The one that crashed was an IDE drive and my data discs were SATA. When OS was re-installed and up and running I connected my other drives as well. One of them was detected ok after some reboots and tampering with bios settings, mainly SATA configuration and Raid active or not (I have no desire to run RAID but at the time it seemed it was the only way to get both sata-drives and dvd running). I have since then uninstalled the RAID config tool etc and the SATA 2 drive is still functioning the way I want it to. However, my largest HD, 500GB, will not be detected ok and in Win Explorer I just get the error/information message telling me that the drive is not formated. It is recognized ok by bios and in the device manager in Win.
    In the disc manager (if that is the name in english, i have win in different lang) however, the drive is displayed as E: 128GB Working (Active) and the remainder of the space, 350GB as not allocated. Oddly enough, it's pretty much the same limit that was set up for the drive onto which I installed Win XP (which I imagine is connected to not having SP2 from the beginning and Win thereby not detecting the full size of the disc). SP2 was however installed at the time that I plugged in my WD disc (and it had content on it before the initial HD failure of my previous disc on which I had Win XP installed.
    Since it was a bit of a hazzle before I got the SATA 2 drive to work, by fiddeling about in the bios, maybe it can be something similair to get SATA 3 drive to be properly detected?
    Any tips on how to proceed in order to get my system back the way it was, would be greatly appreciated.
    /Per

    Hi, thanks for your reply.
    Well, it wasn't delivered with one attached and I haven't used one previously (when it was functioning), but I've seen on the forum at WD that there is possibility to set a jumper that limits the transfer rate to 150MB/s ("This will cause second generation Serial ATA hard drives to revert to a 150MB/s transfer rate limitation"). Would that be it you mean?

  • K9N Neo V3 and SATA DVD-RW, need help

    Hi all!
    I've got a K9N Neo V3 mainboard and a Pioneer DVR-215BK DVD-RW (which is a Serial ATA drive). The problem is, when attempting to read any disc (CD or DVD), the drive recognizes it OK - but then hangs the very moment data transfer begins, then after 3-4 attempts (i.e. read-hang-read-hang etc) starts reading, but transfer mode is set to PIO by the OS (I have Windows XP SP2 installed). I can change it back to UDMA 4, but when I load a disc the whole story repeats :( . Reading speed in this mode is not too impressive, of course.
    I have upgraded mainboard's BIOS and the writer's firmware to the latest versions; tried NVidia IDE SW drivers; checked the RAM for errors; connected the writer to different SATA ports with different cables; changed RAID mode in BIOS setup - and, of course, surfed the web searching for the solution - and now I'm here... Seems like few people had quite the same problem, but I've tried what they were proposing (even disabling error control for the corresponding IDE channel in Windows registry) - with no result at all.
    Here's what I have inside my PC case:
    MB and DVD-RW - you already know; RAM: KingMax 2*1024 Mb 800 MHz; HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (SATA); Graphics: NVidia 8800 GS; Sound: Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio; PSU: Delta 500W.
    Note: SATA HDD works fine in UDMA 6 mode, without any errors. Any other piece of hardware I have also operates fine...
    Hope anyone can tell me what causes this issue and what I can do about it. Is it my DVD-RW or motherboard that's faulty, or some compatibility issue, or I'm just stupid ? Thanks in advance.

    The burner is not the issue , the issue is the motherboard or  some simple bios settings or the bios itself .I have a K9n Neo v2 mcp 520 and it has the same problem dvd-rw under pio , i think the problem is caused by the drivers , because they just won't install
    Well, that's at least something! Means I'm not alone.
    Yesterday I cleaned up whatever was remaining that could have caused the issue: removed everything but vital components; uninstalled all programs that might use additional drivers (like Nero, WinCinema and such); had the RAM checked again by MemTest86+ 2.01. Well, nothing changed, of course.
    Tomorrow I'm taking the system to the dealer I've bought it from (that's gonna be a challenge, we got a lot of snow here   ) - we'll see what the service personnel has to tell me.
    I will let you know as soon as the problem is solved.
    Nestemat
    In your case - what's the brand and model of your DVD-RW? Have you tried downloading the latest drivers - or maybe your installation CD is bad or a buggy installer? Try installing the drivers manually.

  • Neo 2 Which SATA?

    Im currently using SATA 1 & 2 but was just wondering if this would have any effect on my oc's seem to be hitting the ceiling at about 238fsb, just thinking about the K8N NEO (754) using 3 & 4 was better

    SATA1/SATA2 can't work at OC state
    this is NF3-250 limitation,it can't separate FSB and external SATA(SATA1/SATA2) clock,if FSB OC,tha external SATA clock OC too.

  • K8T Neo-FIS2R - P20378 Sata Controller option missing in BIOS. Cannot disable

    A few hairs left....& those are disappearing quickly.......!!!!
    I currently have Windows XP PRo running under a Promise SATA Drive. (NO RAID REQUIRED)
    In order to allow for a fallback situation (which I am still using swapping between WIN XP & Vista),  I found a 20GB IDE Disk attached it to the standard IDE controller  & did a clean install of  VISTA ULTIMATE on the 20GB Drive...So Far so good.
    Next I booted up changed the boot sequence to pickup the 20GB IDE drive first ...Vista Came up....Still so far so good.
    Then I found my mouse ...& both USB printers were not recognised.....2 days later I have them all going okay....one problem at a time....
    The only issue left ... I cannot see the SATA Drive attached to the promise controller.....I have tried following a few of suggested methods to load the promise drivers that are around......still no luck.  Most of the posts I see are around installing VISTA on a SATA drive...my case is just seeing a SATA drive this not the O/S disk.
    Moving on ...no luck with the Promise Drives ...so I have tried changing to the VIA Controller by unplugging the SATA cord from the Promise controller & plugging into the VIA Controller ... I boot up & still no luck...The BIOS picks up the VIA change as I see a option to use  <TAB> to setup  RAID during bootup.. I do not want RAID only a single SATA Drive.  One of the things I read was to turn off Promise  via the BIOS settings . The manual indicates I need to access this by going to the "Onboard PCI Controller option", here I should be able to turn off the P20378 S.ata Controller...
    my problem is ...I can see only the Lan Controller as a option to disable/ enable the other options including the P20378 S.ata Controller.. are not visible.. hence I am unable to disable the Promise SATA Controller within the BIOS..... HELP  pretty please.....   I can happily run VISTA but I do not have 150GB visible to me & my current disk space is tight.....I need that 150GB ...........
    signed...frustated NOOB
    PS I have the most recent drivers/ bios etc according the MSI's Online S/W synch tool (which I run in XP Pro as the vista version fails.... DOH)
    MB --> K8T NEO FISR2
    Memory 1GB
    Appreciate your help ..... TA

    I agree with Hans, as far as we know there are no drivers for Vista to use the Promise controller, yet.
    Same old, same old, Vista and no drivers.
    You just have to wait and hope there wil be Vista drivers for the Promise controller.

  • Neo 2 Platinum - Sata 1 & 2

    Hello,
    I have a mchine with the subject motherboard that I have had running for approx. 18 months or so.   I boot (WinXP)off a SCSI card to a Fujitsu 36gig SCSI drive and have two SATA drives one off each SATA port, 3 & 4.    I have just set up an eSATA external drive with the accessory plug connected to the motherboard's SATA 1 port.  For the life of me, I cannot seem to get the system to recognise it!   ???
    I have ensured that the bios settings for SATA 1 & 2 have been enabled but cannot seem to get the external drive to work.  The drive works ok on another system.   I know I am missing something obvious here.  It has been so long that I have tinkered with this Neo 2 system that I have forgotten some of its basics in setting it up.
    Could someone steer me in the right direction?   
    Thanks

    Hi MurdoK,
    I have the 3200 + CPU o/clocked to 2.4GHz!   Now I remember!  That is why I had the original config of the two SATA drives of channelsa 3 & 4.  That (your explanation) explains that.  I am used to the overclock now.  Rather than winfd it back, I have decided to use the USB2 interface of the external drive and all is honky dory! 
    I also have a setup with an nVidia 4 chipset that also has an eSata drive connected to it but it does not have the same issues with any of its Sata ports.
    Thanks heaps for your answer.

  • P35 Neo 2 Fr - SATA drives not supported ?!?

    I have just screwed together my new PC.
    Motherboard : MSI P35 Neo 2 FR
    CPU : Intel E6850
    Mem: 2GB DDR2 800
    Drives (2x): Seagate 250GB SATA
    Windows: Vista Home Premium OEM (dutch)
    It is a totaly clean install.
    Problem is: When installing VISA it stops at the drive selection. It tells me (translate from Dutch): "the hardware of this computer possibly does not support the booting of this harddrive. Check that the drive controller is switched on in the BIOS"
    When i'm in the bios (1.4) all seems well.
    What to do?
    EDIT: stangely, Seagate says on its site that : Seagate hard drives do not require any special drivers for Microsoft Windows operating systems. The generic hard drive driver should support your hard drive. We recommend using the latest Windows Service Pack (SP) updates as these often refresh the Windows drivers
    This makes is hard to do a (what i have been reading)"F6 Disc & install driver" solution. Or are there non-brand specific sata drivers.   
    Help!

    It was not my intention of installing the drives in Raid. I started out setting as AHCI.
    Later on i tried setting as raid as MSI does have a driver for SATA Raid (on their site and on the supplied driver disc), unfortunately no success.
    I think i must admit defeat. Tomorrow morning i will purchase a new IDE drive and install VISTA on this. I have the feeling it should then be easy to access the SATA drives.
    Off topic (not really) : i downloaded the Seagate DiscWizard on my existing pc. This promises to solve all these kind of problems.  But it refused to start because it needed at least one Seagate product installed on my pc. Hahahaha, of course my old pc is fitted with WD drives. Not very useful from Seagate.
    Off topic 2: roll over bios, we need EFI

  • MSI 945G Neo-F BIOS SATA/IDE Configuration

    Hi,
         Rather than just keep guessing, I'll just ask.  I'm building a new PC with the MSI 945G Neo-F (7176-040) motherboard.  I will be using a Western Digital 250 GB SATA hard drive and two IDE CD/DVD R/W drives.  In the BIOS, there are different ways to configure the drive setup and I am confused as to which is correct.  In the past, when I attempted to configure drives, I couldn't get it right.  I think this is mostly because I have always used IDE and now, with SATA, it's not so easy.  When I try to configure this combination, one or both don't get recognized.  This time, I'm going to rely on those that have this procedure down, to lead me in the right direction.  This is a straightforward setup...no RAID...just one hard drive and two CD/DVD-type ROMs, but both SATA and IDE need to be incorporated.  I appreciate any assistance I can get.
    Thanks...Vince

    Quote from: Maesus on 15-September-06, 13:29:01
    Vinz, this board is very straight forward. There is no RAID on this board. You may read the P4 Unoffiical Guide on the SATA + PATA setup for the details.
    Where can I find this guide, link please, as I am having the same issue with a BSOD while installing windows with the cause mentioned as pci.sys
    thanks for help

  • PT880 Neo-LSR/WD740GD SATA Incompatibility?

    I have a new PT880 Neo-LSR and a new WD740GD Raptor hard drive, and the motherboard will not properly recogize the hard drive when it is connected to the SATA connector.  I've had no problem getting into the bios, or booting from a CD or floppy.  In fact, I successfully flashed it from a floppy with the latest bios to see if that would resolve the HD recognition problem, but no luck.  When I try to install Windows XP, the installation fails every time because no hard drive is detected.
    I ran a Western Digital hard drive test from a floppy, and it incorrectly recognized the WD740GD as a WD1200BB.  I went ahead and tried to run the test, but the test failed due to some undefined problem with the hard drive.
    The remainder of the new system components include a Pentium 2.4A Prescott, 2 256 meg sticks of Kingmax PC-3500 SuperRAM, Antec TRUE430 PS and ATI Radeon 9700 video card.
    I've assembled about a dozen computers from scratch, and have never been stumped like this!  I can't figure out if it's a motherboard problem, a hard drive problem, a compatibility problem or a problem of me missing a setting somewhere.

    Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions!
    1) I am not overclocking.  I'm trying to get the computer to run for the first time with all default settings.
    2) I have hit F6 at the start of Windows XP install, and installed the drivers from the  included diskette (G72-VASA020 VOA SATA RAID driver for VT6420/VT8237).  From the diskette, I've tried to install the SATA RAID driver for Windows XP and the PATA IDE driver individually and together.  No matter which one I use, or if I use both, same problem:  Windows XP installation does not recognize that a hard drive is installed.  I've even installed the two drivers in different order.  I've tried every option.  Hard drive still not recognized.
    3) There are only 2 SATA connectors on the mainboard -- SATA1 and SATA2.  I've tried both connectors, and neither works.  I even bought a new SATA cable in case the one I received with the MB was bad.  Same problem with new cable -- Windows XP installation does not recognize that a hard drive is installed.  The AMI bios does not offer SATA Enhanced or Native options nor SATA+PATA combination.  It offers "Onboard PATA-IDE," which must be enabled for the CD drive to be recognized; "Internal SATA Controller," which must be enabled for the HD connected to 1 of the 2 SATA connectors to be recognized; and, under "Internal SATA Controller," "Boot ROM Function," which seems to make no difference whether it's enabled or disabled.
    I've probably tried to install Windows XP now about 25 times with various combinations of bios options and drivers.  A couple of times I've actually gotten to the point where I got to agree with the Microsoft agreement.  But the window that it took me to said that I could not install Windows XP on the hard drive that had been identified.  There was no option given to format the HD.  As I mentioned previously, it still mistakenly thinks that the hard drive is a WD1200BB instead of the correct WD740GD Raptor.  But it won't let me do anything with the HD.
    Does anyone have any experience starting up the PT880 Neo-LSR with any SATA hard drive attached?  The reason I ask is because I want to know if it correctly identified your hard drive on the initial bootup before you even attempted to install an operating system.  As I've said, mine incorrectly identifies the hard drive some of the time upon bootup, and some of the time it does not identify any hard drive at all.  As far as I know, a hard drive connected to a SATA connector should be properly recognized on bootup.

  • An old subject rears its ugly head - Neo Platinum + 6800 + Sata = no 3D. Help?

    I've been battling this issue for almost three months now. All of my problems started when I upgraded my hard drive to a Maxtor 6L250SO 250GB 16MB Sata hard drive. Coincidentally, only two days before I had upgraded my video card from an MSI RX9800Pro TD128 (which I never had trouble with) to an Nvidia 6800GT. For those two days that I ran the 6800GT on my old Pata hard drive, I was able to run 3D apps, although they seemed stuttery. As I said, I upgraded to the Sata hard drive, and had actually RMA-ed the old PAta hard drive, as SMART warned of failure. The point is that the Sata drive is the boot drive. Sadly, it wasn't until after I bought these nice upgrades that I learned of this forum and all of the compatibility issues with the NF3, sata drives, and the 6800.
    So three weeks ago, unable to figure out why I couldn't run 3D apps, I rma-ed my K8N Neo Platinum. I received the replacement yesterday, and have spent the good part of 12 hours or so since then trying to make things work again. But it turns out I am right back to where I started before I rma-ed my mb - none of my 3D apps run for more than a few minutes. They all crash to desktop. I have read the stickies here extensively (not meaning to say that I've read it all or I know it all), but I am at a loss as to how to fix my problem.
    my specs:
    A64 3700+ Claw - no OC
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum - bios 1.7, Nvidia 5.11 chipset drivers
    2GB Crucial PC3200 DDR400 - no OC
    eVGA 6800GT 256MB AGP - no OC, no FW, 81.95 drivers
    Maxtor 250GB Sata 16MB (boot drive on sata port 3)
    NEC DVD-RW & Asus CD-R on IDE1
    Creative Audigy2 Value
    One thing I haven't tried is moving the OS to an Pata hard drive (the one I got back from rma). Is it possible that booting from a non-Pata drive will fix the problem?
    Is there anyone out there that can help me fix my problem or am I just screwed? Sadly it seems as though the only solution would be to get away from the NF3 chipset but I'm tired of throwing good money after bad. Please help if you think you can. Thanks.

    Today I tried the rivatuner tweak found here:
    Nvidia Forums
    This didn't seem to solve the problem.
    Then I tried this:
    uninstall GART driver ONLY!
    restart
    download this driver pack
    Guru3D
    install the new GART DRIVER ONLY!
    reboot
    download this
    PCI Latency Tool
    DO NOT PLAY WITH THIS YOU CAN HURT YOUR COMPUTER WITH THIS.
    install and change the latency on your 6800GT card to 64 aply and save (dont for get to set it up for load on startup)
    reboot
    now try your DirectX 9 games with this setup
    also turn "ON" Fast Writes
    This seemed to help some, but only in that I was able to play Doom3 for about 15 minutes, a record. It did not crash, I just ended the game, so i can't consider this extensive testing by any means.
    The thing thaty really bothers me in all of this is that my problem seems to be more severe than everyone else's, at least from what I've read. Everyone complains about the "stuttering problem" with the NF3-250 & 6800 combo. My problem is that all of my 3D games crash (either freeze, CTD, bsod, or reboot my pc). Playing Doom3 today w/o crashing was a first since I got my 6800. That's not much consolation for me though, as my main game is BF2. Now in BF2, I can play the game for 5 or 10 minutes, but then the game screen freezes, and the game sounds get mangled and play in a loop. At that point I can't do anything with the pc but reboot.
    So since it seems like I won't be able to fix the problem with my current hardware, I'm considering trying a different motherboard. I was thinking that I'd want to move away from the NF3-250 Nvidia chipset, but my hardware requirements limit the chioces drastically, and I don't want to buy a lemon. So my question is, if I were to stay with the NF3-250 chipset, is there any one board that stands out as being the least likely to have these issues? My buddy has a DFI Lanparty Ultra, and he is using a 6800 GT OC and says he has none of these issues. That sounds great, but I've also read that DFI's product support (bios and drivers) is even worse then MSI's and that scares the bejeebies out of me.

  • NEO 2 Problem SATA 3+4 dont work :( help!!

    as post title, some reason I cant run my HDD off of SATA 3 or 4 even with stock speeds on everything,
    I want to over clock the board so not being able to use these will be a real pain, any ideas!??
    Am using 1.5 bios with latest chipset drivers
    HDD is a 120gig Maxtor DM9 8meg cache

    The clue here i believe is that the sata1/2 on marvell PHY bridged to nv chipset works with driver version 0415
    while the sata3/4 with nv-chipset integrated PHY needs 0446 or newer if nvraid.rom is 4.60 or newer .
    So update through
    control panel - system - hardware - device manager
    Nvidia serial ATA controllers (2.5)  from 5.10.2600.0415 -> 5.10.2600.0446 (2.6) (nvatabus.sys , nvatabus.inf)
    and
    Scsi and Raid controller from 5.10.2600.0415 -> 5.10.2600.0446 (nvraid.sys , nvraid.inf)
    Reason:
    Xp installed on raid with diskette nvsa020 (driver versions 0415 )
    Ran chipset install package from nvidia UDP 5.10 .
    As nvatabus and nvraid is already installed it doesn't install or update from 5.10 UDP package ( i have verified this )
    And afterwards the versions on nvatabus(sata controllers)  and nvraid is still 0415 .
    So update theese controllers drivers manually through devicemanager , don't reboot before all of them is changed .
    Then move the raid to sata 3/4 ( sata1 disk -> sata3 , sata2 disk -> sata4 ).

  • Problem with msi pt8 neo-v and sata drive

    hi, i have a hitachi 80gb sata2 drive( its configured to work as sata1 to work properly on the motherboard) and the msi pt8 neov motherboard, the problem is that the transfer mode is showing incorrectly on hdtune and everest plus it doesnt give the features right, like shown in the image below. everytime i open hdtune gives me a different transfer mode and features get ticked/unticked.
    ive tried the disk on another pc i have and it shows info correctly so it cant be the hard drive, what could be causing this?
    i have installed the hyperion 5.13a drivers and tried too with the microsoft drivers, still the same.
    hope someone can help me out as is driving me crazy!
    oh one last question, in bios settings i see the sata drive( just using one) as bbs-0(raid) HDS728080pla380 why is that? ive tried disabling "bootrom function" under Sata controller but then it wont recognize it, is there a way to change this??

    Quote from: duhast1 on 13-October-07, 06:28:13
    SATA Transfer mode, it changes everytime i open hdtune AND features get ticked unticked everytime i open hdtune as well, like if transfer mode was changing constantly
    Unless, you use your disk purely to benchmark, your transfer rates will dynamically change. As data is written to drive or removed.........
    Everything is working fine
