925X Neo Platinum, nothing on monitor

My setup:
925X Neo Platinum
2.66Ghz Celeron D 331
512Mb RAM
Club3D Radeon 9250, PCI
Everything seems to start fine, though the monitor doesnt initialize. I'm trying without harddrives and any other unnecessary components, though I suspect it is the graphics card. Since I'll probably use the PCI-E slots for something else in the future, I want them to be unused if possible, that is why I'm using a PCI graphics card.
I do not know the BIOS version of the motherboard.

ok... remove the PCI display card as well, do you hear any strange beep? 8 beeps with few longs and ended with few shorts.
Try removing RAM again, NO RAM on your system, your PC should beep 3 long beeps indicating no RAM. If it didn't, that means it hung somewhere detecting your CPU and chipset. That's no good.
You may try BIOS update but it seems like your system get stuck well before detecting the RAM. You need a known working CPU to put on your board, and flash to the latest BIOS.

MSI 925X Neo Platinum (Need 64-bit BIOS for 3.6F)

HI there
I am doing a review of the MSI 925X Neo Platinum motherboard, but believe in order for it too support my Intel sample CPU (3.6F) which has 64-bit extensions then I will need a BIOS up-date to work and get the most from this CPU.
Does anyone know where I can get such a BIOS or can someone from MSI contact me please.
If you need to contact me in any other way then via these forums then please email me at [email protected]
I will also be talking to MSI Computer (UK) Ltd. who will hopefully be able to help me out too.
P.S. Also how do I go about getting a 64-bit version of Windows XP?

If you want someone from MSI to contact you, you best email then or phone them... This is a user forum..
As to the 64-bits Windows, there is a 1 year preview version of it on microsoft.com that's free to download. Also a newsgroup for Win64 at microsoft.private.windowsserver_64bit
UserName = privatenews\64bit
PWD = 64bit
Goodluck...

925X Neo Platinum - Vista drivers

I am looking for Vista 32bit and Vista 64bit drivers for MSI 925X Neo Platinum (LAN, Wireless, etc.). Any ideas?

hi, can you check at www.intel.com ? hmm... this board doesn't have wireless right?

925X Neo Platinum O/C Question

Ok, basically i think i fried my sound card overclocking my processor, now ive been told it was because i needed to lock PCI, well I was wondering whether anyone knows how to do this on my motherboard the 925X Neo Platinum. Also is it necessary, and is there anything else I should look out for when overclocking
My memory is set to 600 though it is 533, and this automatically as set my processor to 3.58ghz
All help and suggestions would be very welcome, cheers

Ive tried Oc this board a little, but with rather bad performance, ad you can see in my sig. The system will not post after 220 in FSB so im just keeping it at 215. I dont think its the heat because its really stable right now. Ive tried unlocking the CPU ratio, but then I cant change it,e.g. 16to17, so its really not working. And of course I will not try to fry my system as Im a little short on cash right now, no mopney for replacements. How high have you got your CPU? And how?

925X Neo Platinum - ECC compatible?

Is the 925X Neo Platinum motherboard compatible with ECC RAM?

This is what I have been advised:
No the board doesn't support ECC memory because the chipset limitation.
A new chipset version will support it but not ready yet.
I remember something in the news a while back that it is an Intel problem with the chipset.

925X Neo Platinum Motherboard shuts down

URGENT help required
My system:-
MSI 925X Neo Platinum
Pentium 4-550-3.4GHz
MSI RX600XT-VTD128E
Antec Sonata case with 480W PS and a large 150mm fan on rear in addition to PS fan
512Mb DDR2 RAM
2 WD 12GB 7200rpm 8Mb Cache SATA
Pioneer DVR-109
56k Internal modem
FDD 1.44Mb
MS Multimedia KB
Logitech mouse
Windows XP Home
Whenever I shut my system down I always have to wait about 20-25mins before being able to re-boot. If I try to re-boot too soon it always shutdowns as soon as 1 or 2 secs after powering up. I am pretty sure it is not driver or software related because it shutsdown too soon and always boots OK from cold and only fails if I try a re-boot within 20 or 25 mins from shutdown. It appears to be temperature related. I have made other enquiries and while this CPU is known to run hot nobody else seems to experience these delays in rebooting. I have been told that the BIOS updates are lagging behind the hardware development and that it is not possible to adjust the BIOS temperature shutdown setting high enough to prevent the shutdown but why is my system the only one experiencing this problem.
Also, I notice that with the PC Alert 4 display the +12V supply is only showing 5.58V. Is that right?

Feedback to us when your new system arrived.
I have my new system up & running - well almost!!!! I brought it home and after loading some software I starting transferring some old LP records onto CDs. After 4 trouble free days of that I decided to try out some video editing but when I ran Intervideo WinDVD the system froze when I selected "Capture". Thinking it may be software problems I tried to do the same with Windows Movie Maker & Nero and the system froze with each program. The system is now back with the retailer so he can get it working properly.
I think I need to get my old trouble free Athlon back!!!!

DVD-burner problems using 925X NEO Platinum

Hello,
I've experienced a lot of problems trying to burn DVD's lately. Both of the latest DVD burners I've used only burn DVD's at 1.5x speed. I read a post on this forum about a guy who experienced exactly the same and he was adviced to switch the DVD burner to IDE1 instead of IDE2. I did that, but never got my computer to start again. (It only said read falut, press ctrl+alt+del to try again).
I now use a DVD-burner from LG (GSA-4163B), I got all the latest drivers, BIOS etc. I also have tried burning on all (almost) different types of DVD's. The result is the same = only 1.5x speed. CD's burn only at 10x at the most.
I've also learned that my HD's only use PIO-mode, and cannot use DMA at all at the moment. WHY? They are both set to "use DMA if possible-option". I use a MAXTOR 6Y120P0 and a SEAGATE ST320413A.

Quote from: Assaf on 29-August-05, 21:47:38
Windows XP falls back to PIO if it detects transfer errors.
Possably a bad cable caused that.
You should be able to get back to DMA by deleting the IDE controllers from the device manager and rebooting.
In DMA mode your burning speed should pick up.
If you are using cheap rounded or extra long cables (over 45cm) I would consider replacing them.
OK, I've changed the MSI-cable (that was rounded and looked pretty cheap) that was connected to the burner
& DVD-rom, but it seems nothing really happens when I uninstall my (6) IDE controllers. They re-install themself
when rebooting, but still use the PIO mode. Should I uninstall all 6 controllers (3 primary, 3 secondary) at the same
time and then reboot, or what?
I bought a new, quite expensive IDE-cable recently, which I use for the burner + DVD-rom, but it's 60cm long.
Should I replace it? Is that really necessary?
Thanks for the reply!!

925X Neo Platinum

Ive recenlty tried to purchase this motherboard but i was told that it was withdrawn from the market for techincal issues ... what exactly were the techincal issues that made msi pulled the card ?
i was wondering that if the 915P has the same problems or is it ok ?
ALso i has told that it does not support all the Graphic cards
Can i be told which graphic cards do they support ?
thnxc in advance

All 9x5 boards were recalled some time ago due to a problem in the ICH6R SATA RAID (which was not present in the ICH6).
But that was only for a limited number of boards produced within the first few weeks of the chipset availability, there should be no reason for them not to be available today.

925x neo platinum restart problem

Hi. i am new to this forum so hope i am going about this the right way.
in my sig is the details of the system i am trying to get working but as of yet i have had no luck. Everything is pluged in and seems to be working the post display appears and then for a second the menu asking me to press delete to access bios appears, with in a second it has gone and the process starts over. one thing i found very odd was that when i plugged in my ps2 keyboard that menu no longer appears and all i get is the power saving mode screen again.
On reading a few topics on the forum so far i have tried the following:
swapped power supply from a q-tech 550w with the antec 550w that is mentioned in my sig
checked that everything is connected
disapled case fans incase lack of power
have changed my sata drive to my ide one from another computer
reset cmos
changed the ram around as well as removing it altogether.( when removed alltogether all i get is a blank screen)
I am running out of options and have alrdy had problems with wrong ram being sent and soforth delaying my computer build up for 3-4weeks
any help you can offer would be great. but it looks like i may have to send it back and wait another 1-2weeks to get a replacement
thankyou for any help that you can give

Hi!
Good thing that you threw away the Q-Tec!
Just a few things:
- Are you able to access the bios?
- Did you reset the CMOS already? If not, please do so (see your manual on how to do this) but always keep your pc disconnected when reseting the CMOS!
- If this doesn't help, please disconnect everything from your board. Only keep the following connected: powersupply, cpu and fan, one stick of ram and your graphics card.
Try to boot your system now. You should get an error message about the system being unable to find a bootable device.

925X NEO Plat reboot under load

Hi all,
After 3 nights trying to find what is wrong with my config, my last hope is that one of you will save me
I recently received my new MB and was quite happy. My problem is that when I start XP SP1, it works ok for a while with a CPU idle at a 70°C temperature.
If I start 3DMark2005, computer works for few minutes, cpu fan speed up and PC crash. On reboot most of the time it freeze with all but the second diagnose led green: ie G R G G.
Does anyone knows what may be the reason.
Moreover, even if with bios I see a high CPU temperature, the CoreCenter complain about an unsupported MB, so no way to check CPU temp under load.
I Flashed my Bios to v1.3, changed PSU from a 350W enermax to a 550W Qmax, tested with various memory configurations, I'm desperate
Config is :
925X Neo Platinum
P4 3.4GHz 550
4x512MB PC4300 DDR2 Twinmos
Gigabyte X800XT 256MB
2 SATA HD, 1 IDE HD, 1 IDE DVD
550W Qmax
I'm waiting for your comments,
Regards,
Judgef

Hi,
For cpu-temp monitor - Download and install Speedfan
http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php?ExtraId=1138
To get “auto” cpu temp monitoring in tray, when windows starts –
Go to start / program / find speedfan exe-file (icon) and drag & drop it to autostart.
Then go to speedfan – configure – option – start minimized.
Then configure – check the “right” temp /fans / voltage sensors.
For cpu stress – Download and install Prime95 ( torturetest )
http://www.mersenne.org/freesoft.htm
Assuming cpu and heatsink are correctly mounted – do you have an overall good airflow in the chassi ( incoming air in front / out in back + sidepanel fan ?)
Also regarding overall stability.....
At what voltage is the DDR2-memory settings in bios ?
Have tried increase voltage some ?
Tested Ram for errors ?
http://www.memtest86.com/#download0
You´ll need a dos disc.

925X Neo Plantium

Does annybody happen to know what CPU would actually work on the version 1 of the bios for this mobo? (925x neo platinum). i tried p4 531 (emt64) and it doesn't work (meant to work from v 1.3 bios). It seems the bios release date is actualy just BEFORE almost all 775 compatible CPU have appeared on the market. I cannot even flash the BIOS so that i can put a better CPU on. (bios v1 released on 6/18/2004 - average cpu on 775 -eg Pentium 4 HT 520- released in June 2004) . Every single, including mobo (changed twice thinking it might be faulty) other component is new/top notch and tested in other PCs and work fine. At this stage the only thing i am getting is a 2 sec attemppt of posting which doesn't even let me see the bios version or boot form a floppy to flash the bios. I cannot do anything. Many thanks for those who could even reaqd this since the mobo is out of the main flow anyway and the cpu's for it .. kinda scarce.

Neo Platinum azalia audio not found

Good Morning. I installed my new 925X neo platinum last night and ran into a problem with the onboard sound. Device not installed/found is the message that I get when I try to install the software.
Tried the software on the CD and the latest from the web. When I spin up the Driver CD, the install option does not show on the menu. Found the directory and tried manual install - sound chip/device not found. Same results with latest download from MSI.
Cleared CMOS and reinstalled XP. Same issue.
Azalia /AC97 set to auto in bios.

K8N Neo Platinum - No post ... help!

Hey folks,
Refer to this thread for info ... Help ... my pc won't turn on!
I'll start off with the system specs so you'll have an idea of what I'm going to be talking about :
AMD Athlon64 3000+
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Corsair CMX-512 PC3200
WD 160gb SATA
MSI 5900xt
Antec SmartBlue 350w
So I bought the parts ... 2 months ago. I used it for about 1 month ...ran like a dream. Died ... RMA'ed the motherboard, and a month later, I get it. I assemble the system, doesn't post the first time I turn it on. Shut it off, posts ... attempts to log onto the Windows partition that is on the hard drive i used it with ... gets into Windows logon screen, and crashes. On several occasions, I noticed the system switched off on its on for some reason. Switch off the system, try again, and it crashes. Switch it off (by holding on the case switch, then switching off the power supply). This time, I switch the PS back on again, and the system fans start, but nothing comes on screen, or posts. I noticed on the video card, the fan starts up, but then stops after it realizes that the system hasn't posted (heatsink is cool). I know the video card works because I just pulled it out of my spare system ... and it works just fine. I have no idea what is going on. I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly apprecitated.
Quite frankly, I am rather dissappointed with MSI at the moment. I fork out my hard earned money for a good motherboard, it dies out of the blue for no reason, I RMA it, and a MONTH later, i get a crappy refurb (looks quite used too!). Is there any customer satisfaction involved? I would like to get on the phone and actually talk to some one about this.
Thanks guys!

Just remembered to attach the diagnostic d-bracket. I get red, red, green, red.
Hopefully this'll help.
EDIT: So I cleared the CMOS. I can get the system to POST now. This posting thing is still iffy ... posts sometimes, and decides not to at other times. Only problem is, is a stability problem. I managed to get the system to boot into the WinXP install I had before. Just freezes out of the blue. Also froze when I tried to install a new copy of windows. Freezes on random occasions. The motherboard I had previously booted on first try, and installed without any problems. It never froze, or crash. Why would this motherboard crash?
Also found that the fan on the v-card does not spin when it is not active. It spins fine when there is something displayed on the monitor.
Bios is V1.4. CPU temp at around 38-40°C. NB temp at around 28-30°C. Temps seem to be normal.

K8n neo platinum .... numerous problems

Hey guys, bear with me im new here.
Ive spent the better part of an hour going through these forums trying to figure out what happened to my computer yesterday. The computer started up fine and I used it for most the day. But then when I was using it, all of a sudden it froze. I resetting and I had no power to my keyboard or mouse . I stopped messing with it and went to sleep. BTW I did try to turn off power, unplug and replug. It did not work either.
Today I tried again to make it work and still the mouse and keyboard dont work. I get to windows and I know it is connected to the internet b/c I can see the shared folder stuff (I know Windows didnt freeze on start-up). I assume from this that HD, RAM, and videocard are fine.
I switch the PS/2 mouse over to USB and still nothing. I try another USB mouse. Nothing, no power, no light on the optical mice. I then notice that the case fans are all working but the CPU fan is not working. I quickly turn the computer off (good thing it wasnt on for more than 10 minutes, idle).
I have a:
K8N Neo Platinum
AMD Athlon 64 3200
1GB Kingston RAM PC 3200
ATI X800 XT Plat.
I can't access BIOS. The keyboard lights go on in the begining then turn but the keyboard doesnt recognize anything. The F-Lock works to turn the light on/off but nothing else.
I know from reading the posts that the USB/keyboard problems are very common with this mobo. I need seriuos help and will me monitoring this forum a lot today. Please post and ask questions as I will be happy to answer any.
I belive my choices are:
1. Reset BIOS which I am willing to do.
2. Get new MB, which is a last resort.
3. Hopefully there is another solution that evades me
Humbly,
sap

okay,
So I reset the BIOS. I then connected a PS/2 mouse and PS/2 keyboard and monitor and tried to boot the comp. It stopped at the first screen which does the RAM test. It got all of my 1GB of RAM okay. It then tries to detect hard drives and cd roms. It gets them all too, (its not supposed to detect floppy, right?)
It says "CMOS checksum error, defaults loaded."
Then it says press F1 to continue or press DEL to enter BIOS
When I try either of those things, there is a slight beep from the motherboard speaker. The comp. just stays at that screen as the keyboard still does not work.
Before I reset CMOS, I could atleast get into Windows (although I couldnt do anything) now I cant get to windows at all. I hope I am not regressing.
