945P Neo Platinum IDE or bios problem

Ive just fitted a maxtor diamondmax 10 160G hdd as a second drive to my pc, the hdd was previously in an external case, had no problems, now that it is connected to ide 2 on the mobo the transfer rate is incredibly slow, about 30 mins for a 4.5g DVD, ive looked in the bios changed the ide controller to ide instead of raid, i also checked device manager but cant seem to see anything wrong, any ideas

Tried Hd Tach i got 2.2Mb per sec, removed the drive tried it on usb and got 35Mb, will try installing the via controller, i thought the floppy was only for the raid drivers.
Thanks will let you know how i get on

K8N Neo Platinum with Venice vcore problem

Hello,
I got a new Socket754 CPU Venice E6 3000+ and replaced it with NewCastle CG 3200+.
But BIOS indicates VCORE is 1.9V+. It's obvious that it's too high and also CPU temp is 0C/32F.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Please create your own rig and put in your sig with details of PSU and BIOS rev. Have you OC'ing your pc recently?

MSI K8N Neo Platinum with Vapochill Case problems - Help anyone. :)

Hi all,
Had a bit of a tricky problem and as Im new to this board I have no idea what could be causing this.
First all all system specs:
Athlon 64 3700+ Clawhammer
MSI K8N Neo Platinum -
1 gig Corsair XMS ProL Low Latency Ram (2 x 512mb)
Nvidia Gefore 6600GT
1 x WD Raptor 10000rpm HD
NEC 2500a DVD writer.
Eye-T 550w PSU.
Vapochill SE Case with installed Vapochill Phase change cooling.
Here are photos of it in its present state, you will notice that it isnt installed in the case at the moment.
The reason for that is because the two wont work together and I want them to so so bad...
So, hopefully someone here can save the day for me - here goes.
I have tested the Motherboard and all other componants outside of the case and everything runs smoothly and there are no problems what so ever, great.
I have also retested the Vapochill case with another motherboard and that also works without a hitch.
The problem comes when I insall the MSI board into the system, all hooked with a really basic setup, PSU, Case cooling, CPU and Ram. Flick the on switch on the power suply and the system turns on for around 1/2 a second then turns off again. I found this strange because it soundnt come on at all until I press the power button.
If I press the power button the same thing will happen over and over.
I have tried a different powersupply and this does nothing at all.
I have checked for shorts and there is no possible way it is shorting on anything.
I have a fan plugged in where the CPU fan would go and this doesnt help.
I have taken it back out and tested it again and it still works ok.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Are there any secret Bio's menu's that would have an option that would solve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Glenn

When you are running the MoBo standalone, what are you connecting to the Power, Reset, HDD, etc. pins ? Are you using the wires from the Vapochill case, or something else ? It looks like a single cable with an intermittent switch (red/white cable). I once had a similar sort of problem and it was because I hadn't connected up (the incredibly fiddly) cables correctly. Other than that, I would have gone for a short of some sort - but you have checked that already, so . . . .
As to the system starting to power-up when you switch on the PSU, I wouldn't worry too much about this. It seems to happen from time to time with some of my systems - amongst other things, the BIOS can be set to resume to previous state after a power-fail.

K8n neo Platinum and Optical Drive problem?

I need some help figuring this out. I've been searching for awhile but can't find any more information so I figured I'd ask here.
I have a Lite on LDW 411s dvd writer that is on the same ide channel as a lite on dvd player (labled as JLMS SJ-HD1665 in the device manager.
The problem is on the 411S where it will read the DVD/CD disk but when I try to use Cyberlink PowerDVD or Nero Recode to play or read the DVD it will just hang. If I don't try to play these files and just open them in explorer then I can access them.
I'm trying to see if there are some conflict issues with the nforce drivers but am still looking.
My setup is this.
AMD 64 3000+
K8n Neo Platinum nforce 3 250 Bios 1.4
Western Digital 120 gb hd
PQI 3200 1 gig memory
PNY 6800 GT
Audigy 2
Antec Trupower 420
Any help would be great as I'm totally stuck. Thanks.
Also to note I can play DVDs and use recode fine off the DVD rom drive but just not off the DVD writer (411s).

You might have better luck making the reader the slave on the channel your HD is on. I had both a burner/writer on the same channel and while it worked, the performance was very poor.
Man, I need to get around to posting my specs someday, but I have the same MB and BIOS as you. I'm also using the nForce unified drivers including IDE.

K8N Neo Platinum and Maxtor HD problem

I have a K8N Neo Platinum MB with the v1.3 Bios installed.
I have 2 physical HDs:
IDE Primary Master: 120G Western Digital WD1200JB (7200RPM)
IDE Primary Slave: 120G Maxtor 6Y120L0 (7200RPM)
The MB sees both drives in the BIOS, however, in Windows XP, I only see the master drive. The slave drive is not recognized within windows. I tried finding the slave drive with the MS Computer Management application and PartitionMagic as well - neither can see the slave drive.
There is something strange about the BIOS screen.
You can see that the primary master is highlighted (in red). The primary slave drive is visibly but it's not showing properly. You can see that the name of the slave drive is all the way to the left and the "]" character is all the way on right panel, next to "Press [Enter]". The name of the slave drive is wrong. The BIOS is showing something garbled. It looks something like "8t/r 6!128". It's tottaly confused :(
I can even select the primary slave drive:
That's not right!
Pressing enter on the slave drive shows the slave drive (Maxtor 120G) properies:
However, Windows XP will not recognize the slave drive.
I ain't sure what wrong but it appears to be a BIOS problem - why would the BIOS display be so messed up like that ??
I'm not sure what to do. :(

Yea, I'm really mad because not only will this board not recognize my slave driver properly, it may have also killed my X800 Pro video card
I moved my working X800 Pro video card from my old MB to my new one and when I turned it on, the X800 Pro was dead.
I then reinstalled my old MB, hoping it was merely a faulty MB that was the problem, however, my X800 Pro is quite dead now
I'm not sure if it was me who damaged the X800 Pro or it was the MSI K8N motherboard - either way it's dead
My experence so far with my new MSI MB has been horrible !!

K8n neo platinum and hard drive problem...

greetings...
well, I have K8n neo platinum mobo with SATA1 controller, and I bought WD 250 GB sata2. I did set up jumper to limit transfer to SATA1 mode on my new drive (although I tried it without jumper, it is the same). Hard disk is working but, I have varying trasfer rate when I copy files from WD250 on other drives, and when copying on that drive. Transfer is going fine, and then it goes very very slow, then again fast, then again slow...And, sometimes, when I am copying large amount of data on that drive, my computer freezes. When I test sustained speed, it is different almost every time (goes from 14 to 65)...
I searched thru internet - with no sucess. I have very good power for my PC. I changed sata cables, and power cables. I updated all drivers. I tried installing XP IDE drivers for that new SATA2 hard disk. I tried almost everything, and with no sucess. WD250 is working fine for, let's say, a couple of hours, and then it again goes slow with varying transfer rate when copying. I also have a very good cooling system, so it's not because of overheating. I contacted WD, they told me to run their diagnostic tool, and the disk was healthy. They said that drive is ok then, and that it is probably my mobo that is causing problems.
anyone have a clue what is going on?
thanx in advance

damn...
can't believe no one ever had similar problem...

K8N Neo Platinum: Will future BIOS enhance GeForce performence boost?

I read that the Nforce3 250GB reference boards showed a performance boost when paired with a GeForce FX video card. The K8N Neo Platinum does not take advantage of this now, but will it ever in the future?

Don't know if you have tried this things but heres my list of things .
BIOS:
-First load bios optimized defaults , then ..
-Set the cpu vcore voltage up by + 0.025v (don't use auto)
-Increase the memory voltage vdimm to 2.7v (or the vendors max defined voltage)
-Disable fsb spread spectrum
-Disable dynamic overclocking
-Disable cool n quiet
-Change the multiplier from startup to 11
-Turn off auto on memory timings in cell menu/dram and set all values manually
and the max mem frequency to 200.
-Turn off AGP fatwrites
CASE:
USB connectors
-Disconnect case front usb from usb header on motherboard.
-Disconnect the d-bracket from usb header on motherboard.
-Change the red MSI ide cable if used.
-Check all stand offs/spacers under the motherboard .
-If using PS2 kb and mouse some board have mislabeled color code
making people connect mouse in kb and vice versa .
Correct is keyboard in the bottom mouse top.

Corecenter 1.7.6 and K8N Neo Platinum 1.6 bios

Hi
Just updated from Corecenter 1.7.3 to 1.7.6, and K8N Neo Platinum bios 1.5 to 1.6.
First thing I noticed, is my reported CPU temps are really low.
Before:
Idle = 34c
Load = 55c
Now:
Idle = 25c
Load =38c
This cant be right... Anybody else experience this?

Yeah, nearly everyone, apparently.

K8N Neo 2 : IDE Long POST Problem NOT Solved !

CHECK LAST UPDATE At The bottom of the topic
I think I've won the battle...
I was having problems on Cold Boot with my IDE optical devices (CDRW (MASTER IDE 2)and DVD-ROM (MASTER IDE 1) looping their initialization procedure).
Here's what to do :
IN BIOS : Standard CMOS menu ->
Select your first IDE Peripheral (for example DVD-ROM) and in the IDE PRIMARY MASTER field, replace Auto with Manual. Same thing the other devices (for my CDRW : I selected it and in the IDE SECONDARY MASTER field, I set the Manual option).
Boot Winxp and go to the device manager, select the PATA controller and for Primary and Secondary chanel, uncheck "Let BIOS determine transfer mode" And select them yourself (for me it was UDMA 33 for my CDRW and UDMA 66 for my DVD-Rom)
And voilà !!! No more cold boot problems !
This proves that this is a BIOS problem that MSI should solve

Hi
OK, installed the update, and rebooted.
Went back into devices, and the yellow exclamation mark was still there.
So, I right clicked on it and chose the install driver option. I chose the default "let windows find it for you" option, and it found and installed the following in the USB devices section:
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
USB Root Hub
The yellow "Other devices" section was no longer there, and the Unknown device in the USB devices section was gone too.
Great everything looks good, except after about a minute, I got a popup "USB device not recognised" - One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognise it. There is a list of 8 devices, with the third one down in the list being "Unknown device".
The only thing I have that is USB in my system is my Microsoft optical mouse, but that works fine.
Also, I rebooted again, and now Windows freezes during loadup (after the loading screen with the blue meter thingie I just get a black screen). I rebooted again, same thing again.
So now I rebooted and chose the "Last known good configuration" and I am back where I started with the yellow exclamation marks in the device manager.
Am I missing something here, or does this sound like I have a faulty motherboard?
Thanks

K8N Neo Platinum IDE problem

I got everything installed just fine and all is well booting into windows. I then install all the chipset drivers on the cd and reboot. The next time I put a cd in my rom to install a program it takes forever for it to read the cd and also windows gets really slow. I spent a while trying to figure out what was wrong and finally reinstalled windows again. And again same thing, as soon as I install the chipset drivers my Rom goes wack and windows is super slow. So I uninstalled the IDE drivers that the disk installed and let windows install its own drivers and WAAA LAAA problem solved. By the way I use a sata hard drive and the only thing on the ide is my dvd burner. Thats the only optical drive I have. Anybody else have this problem? I even tryed the new 5.10 drivers and same thing.

I've had ide problems with the nforce ide drivers. The windows set always has worked for me. I had to try a few different versions and ended up having version 5.10.2600.412 work for me.
If you are deadset on nforce drivers then that may help if you try other versions but if not the windows drivers seems to not have any problems.

P965 Platinum IDE/SATA BIOS settings

Hi all,
After playing with my system I finally managed to find a proper setting for my SATA hard drive and IDE DVD-RW. If you want to meke this kind of configuration working first of all download the latest JMicron driver from MSI website. Then disable IDE as a master, put the SATA cable to the SATA socket no.1. In this way your DVD/CD will be working as a slave while the HD is a master. In this configuration the time to load windows is the shortest and there is no lag when using the DVD. The transfer DVD to HD is also excellent.
Good luck.

Please can you clarify what you mean when you disable IDE as master - is this in windows or bios? ??? The potential bios options are as follows:
1. On board raid controller
Setting to IDE : I get the DVD RW Recognised as a IDE device and burning capabilities (windows uses the standard IDE drivers not Intel or jmicro)
Setting to RAID: windows recognises the DVD RW as a SCSI device but I don't seem to get any burning facilities with the device (windows uses the jmicro SCSI driver)
2. On chip ATA devices
2.1 IDE master enabled : DVD RW works OK including burning capabilities
IDE master disabled : DVD RW works OK but cant burn a disk
2.2 Setting SATA#1 to ACHI rather than raid Windows hangs (blue screen) during boot up
Setting SARA#1 to RAID windows boots OK and hard drive recognised as ATA drive
(2.2 I know is caused by the fact that I set up the drive as a RAID drive during windows set up so no problem there.)

P45 Platinum Q9550 boot/bios problem

Guys,
I've recently built a machine with a P45 Platinum board and Q9550 CPU. It has a Corsair 650w PSU, 4gb Corsair ram and a Samsung 1.5tb HDD. GPU is 2x Radeon HD4770 crossfire setup. I'm running Windows 7.
The problem is, when I first boot the machine it starts up and then I get the windows 'blue screen' and it tries to reboot, but does the same thing over and over. If I press the the reset CMOS button it wil then boot fine, and will switch on and off fine all day, until the next morning, when it does the same thing over again.
Any ideas anyone?

Quote from: Del UK on 13-January-10, 04:43:26
Just quick add:-
Bios is upto date?
I was running bios 1.5, now updated to 1.6. I've also pulled the jumpers so the FSB runs at 400mhz and set the RAM settings to what the Corsair data sheet says for 1066Mhz, (5-5-5-15, 2.1v) and it seems to be stable. It shows 1067Mhz still though, but I'm guessing this is right?
I'm not that mad for overclocking, but it seems happy at 3.4ghz, CPU temp is about 42 degrees.

P965 platinum ide and sata problems

in bios om my mb it says that i have ide not sata >:(.
and i cannot see my cd-rom as an ide.
i have tried to update bios but it didnt work i tried liveupdate and usb stick.
when i set my mb to ahci function on my sata config, windows dosent find the disk in the os installation. and my computer cannot load windows.
in windows something is wrong with the cd-rom when i use it my computer is going slowly.
i think this problem is caused by the jbmicron software.
anybody who can help me with this problem??

Would much appreciate some help if anyone is familiar with this issue!
I'm having a very difficult time getting the the 965 Platinum to recognize my IDE devices, and I don't know why. I've got a Sony DRU-500A DVD burner in the master position, and a Maxtor 6L300R0 hard drive in the slave position. The jumpers on those devices are appropriate for their position. The devices are "usuable", that is, I've been able to run the Windows XP installer (up to a point) and writes have occured to my hard drive, but the installation fails after the portion where you reboot after all the files have been written from the install disk.
In any case, the Standard CMOS screen simply never shows any devices detected on either the IDE Primary Master or Slave entries. I've tried disconnecting the DVD drive and just connecting the Hard Drive as master instead with no improvment. I've also tried disabling the SATA configurations, toggling PCI IDE Busmastering. Nothing works.
I've never been able to boot into Windows.
There was a point where the JMicron Raid menu showed this drive as a raid drive for reasons that aren't clear to me (the drive may have been a raid drive in the past). I've set the drive back to non-raid, rebooted back into my old system and everything checks out. No problems at all, so I think that there are any RAID issues.
I'm not a pro at building systems, so there could be user error anywhere alonog the way.
Any ideas? I'm bamboozled!

K8N Neo Platinum and BGF 6800GT problem

Hey
recnetly set up my board, and having some issues with freeze midgame and really poor 3d mark scores, i.e. im getting 22000 in 2001!!
How do i stop this problem, and power shoudnt be a problem given the power supply i have, so would anyone have an idea?
What should i set the bios up to look like and anything in XP i should be doing?
thanks

Not sure about the mid-game freeze, but your 3DMark01 is spot-on with that score, if not a bit high. My 3500+ gets ~22.5k at stock, but at 2.5GHz I get 24645. It's very CPU limited so your video card isn't going to make much of a difference past a certain point.
What games are you experiencing lock-ups in?
I'll try to cover all bases here, so some things might help, others not:
1: Make sure your power inputs are connected properly (I know, it seems so obvious it's insulting, sorry).
2: Disable NV/ATI speedup in the BIOS. To reveal hidden BIOS options and reach this setting hit Shift+F2 and ALT+F3 all at the same time. Someone let me know if that's the wrong combo but I think it's correct.
3: Grab the 71.20 FW drivers, they're about the best you can get right now, don't get the crap 66.93 officials, their performance doesn't compare in most situations.
4: Disable Fast Writes in the BIOS; sometimes this has helped fix stutter problems, but if you're getting FREEZES... well it might not help.
5: Drop all clocks to stock settings and see what happens. If that works, try different OC settings if you want.
6: Update your games, of course.
7: Defragment your hard drive.
I highly recommend downloading 3DMark03, 05 and AQ3 and reporting your scores there and whether or not you get freezes/stutter in those benchmarks. 3DMark03 and 05 are more video card intensive and should exploit the problem you're having. AQ3 might do it too.
Just suggestions, nothing's guaranteed to work. Post back though if you have any new information or if you get it fixed.
