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,

... 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.

  • Great DOT improvement using Bios 3.6 for 865PE Neo-2 P series

    Great DOT improvement of Bios 3.6O for 865PE Neo-2 P series.
    Thanks to NovJoe and everybody in the following thread (especially iliveonhope)
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?sid=&postid=277300#post277300
    The DOT is kind like straight forward approach by reaching the preset DOT on the bios after booting and during aplication for less then 2 second, the old bios is gradually increasing almost 1 minute or more.
    Also the FSB reading on CC is function well not randomly change as on the last Bios.
    The Autooverclocking value using CC if not change by default is always shown the maximum FSB.
    The weaknesess is still the default value using 'save' on CC  that not performing well (its better to have user define FSB value) and also the DOT range could be much higher then the Commander so I can set certain FSB value to max FSB value. (Waiting for the next improvement from the MSI Software Team).
    It will work fine for anybody who use FSB:DRAM Feq. = 1:1 using DDR greater then 400
    Interesting thing about this DOT method is it always back on the lowest FSB during stand-by, for me its great hardware saving (It will be great if the FSB stays on the user define setting).
    Regarding the CPU temperatue is a little bit lower compared with the 865PE Neo-2 S series using the same Heat sink type.
    Its worth to try except it cannot reach the maximum OCing due to the DOT rank limitation.

    clausman,
    What bios version do you used ? is already version 3.6
    If you are using Bios 3.60 try to run PC mark 2002 or other benching software (if you have it), you will note that when the benchmark starting the FSB will raise and then after you stop it in the middle or end the FSB will go back to the lowest FSB (Do it by showing the CC beside the PC mark.
    Please let me know.

    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] 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?

    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

    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] 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.

  • For 875P Neo-FISR Sandra reports DIMM 1 "Empty" -- 512 chip not showing up

    About 2 months ago, I assembled an 875P Neo-FISR with an Intel P4 3.20E GHz 1MB L2cache and 800 MHz FSB.  I installed 2 Kingston KVR400X64C3A 512MB PC3200 CL3 184 pin DIMMS, one in slot 1 and the other in slot 3 so as to get dual channel mode.  The system reported that I only had 512MB memory.  I tried reseating the DIMMS several times with the same result.  I then moved the two DIMMS to slots 2 and 4, after which the system reported 1GB RAM, and the dual channel mode appeared to be in effect.
    Today, I purchased two more identical DIMMS (PC3200 512MB, same mfctr and model #) and inserted them into slots 1 and 3 for a total of 4 512MB DIMMS.  The system reports that I have 1.5MB RAM, and Sandra reports that slot 1 is "empty."
    I'm not happy.
    I'm running a new copy of XP Pro, which came with Service Pack 2 installed.  I have a variety of peripherals, WD IDE drives, ATI video card, etc. -- none of which should have anything to do with this.  The original problem appeared at the most basic level of installation.

    If the slot was dead two months ago it wouldn't get any better with time.
    If you use only slot one does it work?

  • Best mem for 875P Neo-FIS2R

    i think im gonna order this board next week, i will have a 2.8C or 3.0C cpu with it. now im wondering what mem i should buy. i want 1gb of the fastest. if it is extremely expensive compared to the next best brand i would also like to now. thanks

    I have Kingston PC3500 and it has issues with my MSI 875P neo LSR mobo. I have been in contact with Kingston and they say they got a newer revision that will work, but I still dont have it yet. Hoping they will replace mine ($304 for 1024mb) with the newer revision.
    If you deside to go with Kingston, call before you order and get the specific model number needed to get the good stuff

  • New BIOS (v2.1) for MSI Neo Plat 7030

    I noticed that there are some fairly new BIOS versions available for the MSI Neo Platinum v1.0 (7030).
    I'm currently on BIOS version v1.7 and that's been stable.
    Has anyone tried version v2.1 ?
    I've heard bad things about v1.8 so  I'm not messing with that.

    it is for me
    i only updated BIOS when i was trying out some overclocking, and it gave me some better results, than when i was with BIOS 1.4, which i had used for a year previously with no issues
    if you don't need to update BIOS, then you don't need to update BIOS; its not like updating a driver

  • Severe Problems with BIOS v1.9 for K8N Neo Platinum (7030)

    I updated to the new BIOS and nothing but crashes, so I tried to go back to 1.7, because everything was working fine with 1.7 and now, the BIOS is asking for a password, and I never setup a password in the BIOS. What the heck, now I have a $1000 (US) paper weight, thanks alot for the buggy BIOS update, now you can send me a new motherboard!!!
    **Edit** Well I found a work around, went back to BIOS 1.5 for now until I can get 1.7 to work again, 1.8 and 1.9 are screwed up beyond belief, you can't set any overclocking features, RAM timings are messed, there is no choice for 1T/2T, currently I'm running at SPD on the DRAM and stock on all the CPU functions. I would really like if someone could test these BIOS versions before putting them up so stupid people like me update them. Also, leaving more choices than one BIOS update in MSI LiveUpdate would be nice, because flashing via the floppy drive is a pain in the butt, lucky I have an extra computer to use.**End Edit**

    Do a floppy drive flash with the correct switches.  Go back to the last bios that worked properly or try Pinochio's bios which a lot of people like.  Liveupdate will mess up your bios.  So can winflash if you do not use it correctly.

    After you have read about it, do this using the correct flash utilty file name and the correct  bios file name
    "DOS floppy flash shall be performed with :
    awfl833d.exe w7030nms.180 /py /sn /wb /cc /cd /cp /f /e
    (Replace biosfilename with appropriate version for Neo1/neo2 etc , switches remain the same )
    After flash is complete :
    TURN OFF PSU (don't restart) wait 15 seconds
    Turn on again , press the power button .
    Enter BIOS and load optimized defaults (NO OTHER CHANGES) , save + exit
    Boot the system again with the floppy in the drive to let the DMI pool build and update itself .
    Good luck. 

  • [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)
