Sapphire X850XT w/ 945P Neo-F

Has anybody tried this combination: MSI 945P Neo-F and a Sapphire X850XT (100106SR-RD)? I don't see this exact model in the compatibility chart but the Radeon X850XT is listed. I know that sounds dumb but I want to get as much info as I can before I spend and dollars on a new videocard.
I just want to make sure that I will not have any rejection symptoms.

Thanks!
After a bit more research, dollar for performance, I may decide to go with the X800XL. With 16 pipelines, 256-bit interface and 256MB of GDDR3 memory, I think the 850 may be a bit overkill for my apps, not to mention the dollar difference. I do game but do not need eye-bleeding graphics. The X800XL seems to be a good medium of performance at a descent price.
Just 'cause I really don't know, aside from the obvious hardware menu items (type of memory, amount of memory, AGP or PCIE, core clock, i.e. all things being equal), what is the difference between, say, MSI, Verto, Rosewill, Chaintech, Connect3D, Sapphire, etc. versions of the same GPU? Included software package? Cosmetics? Any performance difference going with an OEM/ third-party vendor vs. a factory direct ATI or nVidia videocard solely based on where it shipped from or whose name is on it? Sounds crazy I know but is it really worth the extra dollars for an ATI board instead of a much less expensive Connect3D for example?

MSI 945P Neo-F - PC doesn't boot

Hey,
my PC worked for about 1 1/2 years, but a few days ago suddenly it didn't boot - the screen was black and the PC made some beep sounds (1x long, 2x short -> video card defect). I installed the D-Bracket and it says, that there is a problem with the floppy device (but i have NOT a floppy device). I did the C-MOS reset -> nothing changed. I changed the RAM sticks -> nothing changed. I unplugged all devices (but video card, CPU, RAM, PSU) -> nothing changed. What shall I do now? (I have no other video card - only AGP, but my board doesn't support AGP)
PC Data:
Mainboard: MSI 945P Neo-F
CPU: Intel Pentium D 920
Power Supply Unit: 350W (with case "Jou Jye JJ-7029B") Detailled Specifications
RAM: 1024MB (and also tested with 512MB DDR2 Corsair Value-Kit [Dual-Channel])
Video-Card: MSI NX6600 - VTD256EH passiv
And... Sound+Networkcard, Mouse+Keyboard, DVD-Drive

1) Reset CMOS
2) Test with only 1 x RAM
3) Test with a better PSU
4) Test with another GPU
Btw, I'll move your thread to Pentium 4 and Core Duo section for more discussions.

i uninstalled all drivers for on board sound card
and then disabled on board sound in the bios
then when i install hardware and drivers for new soundcard it doesnt work
im a newbe at this is the jumpers or something i have to change?
sorry if this is in wrong section

my system detects the soundcard but the creative control center does not detect it
"no cards found"
im running vista at moment (using vista creative drivers)
(in xp detected device and creative control center detected it too but no sound)
i may invest in new psu alright but i dont think this is the problem in this case as i tryed soundcard before i bought hard drives
the soundcard is probably 7 years old maybe its just no supported????
(it was top of its range 400 euro in its day)

My 945P NEO has missing sockets

i bought my motherboard last december,
now i realised that my ide and firewire socket heads are missing, can someone tell me where can i put those plug pins back?
cause when i read the manual, the IEEE and IDE port are written optional in the motherboard map
maybe msi didnt put it in or something else, still i really wanna use it if it was there
is there a way to put em back? cause i really wanna use the pins for my firewire bracket and my extra ide hard disk i have.....

Hi Dallasourora and others,
I am finding this problem to be more and more insidious.
It was bad enough that the box says PLATINUM and we didnt get our IDE ports, but it also says that it supports SATA RAID. I have now found out for sure that it does not!
The ICH7 Chip does not support RAID! Additionally it does not appear to support NCQ either.
It takes the ICH7R to get the raid function.
I have spent hours and hours trying to install a RAID only to find this motherboard does not support it.
This appears to be one of the worst motherboard purchases I have ever made. The advertising ploy that MSI is using here would be like putting a 12" monochrome monitor in a box labeled 42" Plasma display. I am appalled.
I have written to MSI, but I am not holding my breath for a resolution. Looks like I'm out a few hundred bucks for nothing.
I see we are not the only ones puzzled by the labeling on the box.

ow...your box says "945P Neo Platinum"??
if it says then you got a platinum...i really don't know why "Neo" is written on the box since in MSI website the name for this MB is only "945P Platinum"

945p neo cannot load up xp

Hello there new to this forum!
right, im running a 945p neo with 2GB ram, 3.2ghz intel pentium 4 with a 512MB nvidia, i have a ide 100 GB hard drive running xp, it goes past bios, then as it just tries to load up xp main screen it then dissapers, then resests it self, ive activited the ide function in bios, even swaped ram about, but still no joy, then i bought a sata 120 drive put that in, tried loading windows xp in, loads basic drivers up but then blue screens so, im well and truly stuck!
Any ideas
all the best
Andrew

I've got the cause from a google search:
The error is occurring because a driver -- such as a PCI bus driver, disk driver, or IDE controller driver -- is missing from the image. Many developers start the XPe development process using the DOS version of Target Analyzer -- TA.EXE, instead of TAP.EXE. There are a number of reasons why developers go the TA.EXE route: loading Windows XP Pro on the target is time consuming; it is physically not possible to install Windows XP Pro on the target; or running WinPE (the Windows Preinstallation Environment) is not possible.

945P Neo - Where have my IDEs gone ????

Hi all
Have just bought a 945P Neo which I was really pleased about but when I set about installing the bits and pieces, I noticed that it only has 1 IDE connector ??
The space where IDE 2 and 3 should be are vacant as are the 2 chips just above them.
Can anyone explain why this is the case ? Have I somehow bought a scaled down or 'demo' version or something. It's most unusual just to have the one IDE connector and as you can imagine I am now stuck for somewhere to connect my second DVD Rom drive.
Can the IDE 2 and 3 ports be added easily and failing that, what is the maximum number of devices that can be connected to just the IDE 1 connector ?
Thanks in advance.

MSI 945p Neo-2 V Hanging...help!

Hi, after an exhaustive search regarding the problem and one previous post topic about the same thing happening (with absolutely no resolution, I might add) I've decided to start a new post topic to see if anything can be done.
I have in my possession an MSI 945p Neo-2 V (MS 7176 ver. 2A1 written between PCI slots) connected to various other components, all of which appear in my signature. When everything is connected and the power switch is pressed, the power turns on, the heatsink fan and computer fan both turn on and the hard drive clicks to life. After that..nothing. No bios, no "no os detected", nothing screaming at me that I done eff'd up. At this point the diagnostic bracket sits on this:
1. Red 2. Red
4. Red 3. Green
which tells me it's hanging on the video initialization. After RMAing the first board that did this to me and getting a completely new board and processor, the same thing happens.
I have tried the various steps suggested in the other topic: separate component testing, using only one memstick to get bios to post, sitting the mobo on a non-conductive surface and turning it on, checking front panel jumper connectors, but nothing seems to be working. I swapped out every component with known working ones to no avail. I swapped in every component to a working computer and separately they all work fine as well. The people I'm making this computer for have been waiting about a month for the RMA to go through and everything and I'm about to lose both my mind and reputation here. Can anyone help?
EDIT: Here's a link to the original topic I found - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=94091.0
Other Edit: guess it's a neo-2 v, not h

i suggest you to swap the graphic card first and see how it goes.
Prior to this incident did you OC your rig??
Alternatively try clearing cmos or jump start the psu using a screw driver
-Yes, I swapped out graphics cards, with a known working one. Still no change. I thought "broken pci-e x16 slot" but this is the second mobo of that type that's doing this, so either this particular type of mobo is crap or I'm getting shafted.
-No I never OC'd (wasn't going to try, either), since it never got past the video init, and therefore couldn't get to the bios.
-Cleared the cmos (the JBAT1 jumper I believe) and still no change.
-And I really don't trust myself with a screwdriver and electricity.
-Finally, no, I didn't update the bios. This happened out-of-box.

K8T Neo Eary Chipset initilisation hang

I've just got my MSI K8T Neo Motherboard replaced and the replacement arrived today. I plugged in the cpu, cpu fan and the D-Bracket and it seems to hang at the 'Early Chipset Initilisation.' Same thing happens with the ram and gfx card installed. I've put both the 4 and 20 pin psu cables in and in the manual it doesn't say what's wrong if it hangs at this stage so does anyone know what the hell is going on?

It could also be a ground, either form a cable touching case or Mobo, or a fixing screw on MOBO touching board, no USB devices plugged in? The fans are working OK.
Other thing that can cause this is a bent pin on CPU, if you remove make sure and replace with silver artic paste or similar.
good luck
jocko
Tried several sticks of ram, don't think it'd be this though because if it does have a problem with the ram, the d-bracket will let me know if it's broken or not in place properly.
The motherboard isn't in the case atm, it's put on an anti-static sheet to eliminate this problem.
Had a look at the CPU and all the pins look alright.
Edit> Also, no devices conected at all, and fans work ok, even the gfx card so power getting around it looks ok
Thanks for help

K8N Neo Platinum driver installation

There are 4 downloadable mainboard driver zips at MSI for K8N Neo Platinum (not including BIOS a upgrade) -
1. NVSA020.zip - SATA controller drivers
2. NF3_CK8S.zip - Chipset drivers including:
Ethernet NRM driver
Network management tools
GART driver
SMBus driver with updated uninstaller files
*Win2K IDE 2.6 driver with updated uninstaller files
*WinXP IDE 2.6 driver with updated uninstaller files
3. USB2W9XME009.zip - USB 2.0 drivers
4. ALC69.zip - onboard Realtek audio drivers
*applicable version of Win OS
Are ALL these drivers from MSI to be loaded?
I think I read in some other posts where some of these drivers (?) cause problems and therefore default Win OS (or chipset manufacturer) drivers should be used instead. Is there a concensus (or list) of which drivers should or shouldn't be installed and the correct procedures and order for doing it?

1. NVSA020.zip, these drivers come in a diskete with your mainboard as well but possibly on an earlier version. You will need these if you plan to use a SATA Raid/ or simply a SATA drive when installing your OS of choice. Please note that if you plan to use a single SATA drive use SATA 3 or 4. In this case the drivers are not necessary but rather optional.
2. These are the nforce platform drivers. You can either use the ones off the msi site or the ones from nvidia's site. In any case i would suggest you replace the IDE driver package with the 2.5's -> http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_ide_4.15_win2KXP.html
3. if you plan updating to a sp 1 or 2 versionof xp, you will probably not need these.
4. ALC69.zip - > Here is the latest realtek drivers.

K8N Neo Platinum/Chipset Driver

I'm having a problem.
I play WOW a lot and have been using the same old 66.93 video drivers for my eVGA 6800gt with no problems. Well after purchasing BF2 it said i needed a newer driver so i got the latest ones from eVGA (77.77). Well BF2 played kind of wierd still but WOW pretty much was unplayable....it would freeze every 20 seconds or so. So then i went back and loaded up my old 66.93 drivers again....WOW worked perfectly again and BF2 was also playable.
Now i can play both games at this time, however i'm sure i'll run into another problem down the road with the old 66.93 driver, it will just go out of date eventually.
So my question is, am i having this problem because i have the original chirpset drivers that came with my K8N Neo Platinum board? Do i need to get the new chipset drivers?
its a nforce3 250gb chipset driver...but i'm not sure what version (i'm at work). If this is what i need what do i unload on my computer first before going to Nvidia's site and downloading the newest chipset drivers? I'm used to loading and unloading video drivers but i've never done a chipset driver replacement yet...a little guidence would be nice (i'm sure it's simple i just don't want to mess something up).
oh...and i also used the MSI Live Update to update my bios already so that's done.

I don't see the point in updating a graphics driver if the older one delivers all the functionality of the card. It's not like many other drivers - newer graphics drivers can make performance worse instead of better, because they may be optimised for features of newer cards. The 66.93 drivers should do the job OK. They won't go "out of date" because they will always be as old as your card. It's the card which may go out of date compared with the requirements of future games.
I also don't think a newer game should require a newer driver. The driver is to enable functionality of the hardware. It cannot add new functionality that isn't there (that's not to say that a driver can't improve existing functionality if it's written better than a previous version or includes bug fixes).
What the game can legitimately say is that it requires functionality that your card doesn't have, but I don't suppose that's your problem. It could be worth updating your chipset driver package if you don't have the latest release - you can use Live Update to check that. If it says a newer version is available (5.10 is the latest public release for Windows XP 32-bit) I would download it, uninstall the current drivers (both chipset & graphics) in control panel, install the new chipset drivers & then re-install the graphics.
But maybe the problem is unrelated to these drivers. Have you got the latest directx runtime installed? That might be what your new game needs. You can use Windows Update to check for that.

945P Neo problem (getting very slow)

I have installed this to be a monster PC, but NO.
Have 4x1 GB RAM, and it starts OK, but after 1-2 minutes the CPU usage goes over 80% alle the time even though it is idle.
It also only read out 3,4 GB, and in the manual it say it is due to the south bridge. Anyone who know what this exactly mean?
When I only install 2 GB, it seem to work perfectly, so my conclusion is that it has to do with memory, even though tast manager only reports 400 MB used.
Hints appriciated

You might try to Disable your Paging File. It will help with System performance if you have more that 1G of memory installed.
To do this:
Right Click My Computer Icon & Click on Properties ----> Click the Advanced Tab ---> Under the Performance box Click Settings ---> on the New Dialog box that opens Click Advanced --- > Tord the Bottom in the "Virtual memory" box click Change ---> Now in this new Dialog (Virtual Memory) Tick the "No Paging File" ---> Now click "Set" then Ok. ---> exit out of all the Dialogs open by clicking "OK" --> And REBOOT if Asked.
Your done and after you reboot you should see Much better performance w/o the Paging File.
If you have any problem with you box after making this change go back into the "Virtual Memory" Dialog and set it to "System Managed size"
See if this helps you out and Get back with us.
Oh and for the 3.3~3.5G of memory showing up, Windows XP will Not Recognize all the Memory installed. Your Chipset and South Bridge should support the full 4gigs of RAM. Especially if you running a Dual Core CPU (64Bit CPU Can Address a tone more than 8Gigs).
I have heard that the New Windows Vista is only limited to 8Gigs, so no more Lost memory Problems

PT880 Neo (VIA Chipset) Serial ATA Driver needed!

I have just recently built a computer with a NEO PT880 Motherboard along with a Seagate Baracuda 120gb HDD with Serial ATA support, however, W2k does not detect the hdd (because of it being SATA), the bios does see it, yet I need the drivers to install it but the motherboard did not come with a floppy to install the driver during W2k 'F6' prompt, any ideas or can you point to where I can grab the proper drivers? Thanks.

I need this too, didnt get a diskette and cant finish building this new computer :( Anyone have it?

Satelite M40X windows 2000 chipset installation

I currently own a M40X which was preinstalled with Windows XP home edition but due to the nature of our business I now need to install Windows 2000 on the machine. The XP drivers for the sound, video and wireless network etc. all work correctly on 2000 but unfortunately the chipset drivers don??t seem to work at all.
I was wondering if there is anywhere I could get Windows 2000 compatible drivers as the USB ports and a few other components are now rendered inoperable.
Any comments or help is greatly appreciated
Thanking you in advance

Hi
The chipset driver utility was made by Intel and I assume the chipset driver for W2k from the Intel website should also do the job on the Satellite M40X.
I recommend checking this site:
http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Support_Intel.aspx#
You should check which chipset do you have and then install the right software.
PS: I'm not 100% sure but I assume there must be chipset type "Mobile Intel 910GML Express Chipset with CeleronM or Mobile Intel 915GM Express Chipset" Mobile Intel 915PM Express Chipset
Good luck

Neo boards: Chipset Overclocking must stop.

Hello,
Well seems that good ol' Tom is taking a stand now.
Read:
Quote
So which board comes out on top in the price/performance ratio? First, MSI and AOpen should stop overclocking their boards' chipsets. We also think the AOpen is overpriced for an 845PE board. Both of these models fail to gain our recommendation.
Well, it is getting interesting. With the new BIOS only days away, I'll ask myself (and MSI) if we will finally get a non-overclocked and stable board.
I hope MSI listens to their customers and reviewers and decides to do something about this issue.
Thanks,
Arthur.

Dear [Maesus],
I have tried to duplicate the issue, I saw it only once when I reflash the BIOS and then change the CPU clock setting.
My procedure as below…
1. Boot system
2. Update BIOS to 1.9 version
3. Restart the system to BIOS setting
4. Change the CPU Bus Clock to 229
5. Save the setting & exit and then the system restart automatically
6. And then I saw the CPU is only running 1.86GHz (my CPU is 3.2GHZ FSB 800MHz)
But I would like to explain that my procedure as above is incorrect.
The correct procedure should be as below….
1. Boot system
2. Update BIOS to 1.9 version
3. Restart the system to BIOS setting
4. Load BIOS setup default first
5. Change the CPU Bus Clock to 229
6. Save the setting & exit and then the system restart automatically
7. And then I saw the CPU is running 3.66GHz (my CPU is 3.2GHZ FSB 800MHz)
Note: To load BIOS setup default setting after reflash BIOS that is because all original default setting will be erase after upgrade BIOS. So we always recommend customers to load BIOS default setting first before change any BIOS setting.
BTW, we have updated the BIOS version to support Prescott CPU. Users can decide to update it or not.
The new release BIOS as attach file.
Best regard!
