Boot issue: K8N Neo2 and MSI DR16-B!

I found my problem, as my board didn't boot normally anymore.
I forgot that I flashed the newest firmware to my new DR16, unplugging it solved my boot issue.
Could someone help me out how to solve this? Can I get my old firmware back somehow?
I liked this recorder somehow, was nice and silent. But: I'd rather keep the board than this recorder...

Well yes
I wanted to upgrade the recorder anyhow, so that wasn't the really big problem.
As I couldn't find the problem with my machine, I exchanged the board first. The new one has a better power regulation, also my dealer exchanged it right away. No big deal also.
But: As I found the board wasn't responsible, I exchanged my working PSU for the OCZ, which cost me ~150$... I could have saved that money...

MSI K8N Neo2 and Creative?

Anyone know of a problem between MSI K8N Neo2 board and
Creative soundblaster audigy 2 card?
My problem started as soon as i plugged in my soundblaster audigy 2 card,
as a result i started to get randomly "Machine Check Exception" problems.
Often when i play games where the sounds are continually.
I've tried creatives support, but i can't find any solution.
The onboard sound works fine, but i prefer the audigy card, as long as it don't
restart my computer.
Anyone have any idea what it may be?

I am using an Audigy 2 with latest drivers and no probs whatsoever so it may not be a motherboard/soundcard problem

MSI K8N Neo2 and USB 2.0

Does this MB have USB 2.0? When I plug in my iPod it says that the device could run faster if I plugged it into a USB 2.0 port. How do I fix this? Thanks
Chris

Gadgets,
Before you update your BIOS please do following:
1- Insure that you do not have older legacy USB peripherals (V 1.X) plugged in next to your Ipod 2.0 USB connection. Pluging in a USB 1.x connector next to a USB 2.0 connector can drag all transfers to the lowest USB 1.x transfer rate.
2- Do not guess at your USB transfwer rate. Download Sandra Lite 2005 (SR3) from Sisoftware here (it's free): http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=177
once you done so install it and use the File System Benchmark program to find out exactly what your Ipod USB connection is achieving in MB/s. A USB 2.0 connection should give you a 32 or greater MB/s transfer rate.
3- Don't MESS with your BIOS UNTIL YOU are absolutely sure of the procedures to follow. Here is some reference links:

Boot failure - k8n neo2 plat

Hi, I'm having trouble
Just purchased an MSI k8n neo2 plat mobo with an amd 64 3000+ and finally got her all setup... well minus the geforce 6600 gt arriving tomorrow and I still need to figure out what I'll do as far as memory goes. Ah but I forget myself... the problem at hand is this; I am unable to boot the system and the d-bracket indicates its current status is "Processor initialization..." Then nothing. Blank screen.
LED's btw:
red green
green red
thanks for any help
Sytem specs:
k8n neo2
amd xp 64 3000+
geforce 2 mx
1x mushkin pc2700 256mb (test mem)
60gb maxtor
generic cd-writer
PS is @POWER 430w with:
+3.3v = 28a
+5v = 40a
+12 = 17a

1)I'd go further than shturmovik in your 12v amps requirement you need at least 24a especially with your new graphic card.
see Basic Building Tips - Quote
As this pertains to A64's make sure that you have a power supply that is either approved for use by MSI/AMD or that you have plenty of amps on the 12 volt rail. Typically we have noted many issues based on stability with PSU's being rated at less than 24A on the 12v rail.
Power Consumption: NVIDIA vs. ATI
2)The D-Led Quote
Processor initialization
also covers memory issues as with the 64 the memory controller is on the CPU.
as your 1x mushkin pc2700 256mb (test mem) this rules out any dual channel problems.
which slot is it in.

Boot problems - K8N Neo2 Platinum

I just got an MSI K8N Neo2 Plat. edition to replace my busted Asus A8V, and already I ran into some intriguing problems:
-It POSTs alright, but when it attempts to load the xp bootscreen, it justs reboots
-When I put the xp install cd in and rebooted, it won't read and go to xp setup.
I tried swapping the memories around and used different SATA connectors but nothing works.....help?

I tried for days to get a WD Caviar 160 to work as a boot drive with the same board and had the same problems as you. I eventually RMA'd the Caviar and replaced it with a Maxtor 200gb DiamondMax 10 and Windows installed just fine.
Some others have also reported the same problems with smaller capacity SATA drives (80-160), but no problems at all with 200gb drives. Your problem may or may not be the same but if you can try another SATA drive that might save you some considerable headaches.

Weird multipel error with K8N Neo2 and XMS Pro 3200LL

Hi everyone, i recently got a winchester 3200 running on my K8N Neo2 Platinum 54G board and i discovered a very weird thing and im not the only one having this problem either with this mobo/cpu. Its a bit hard to explain but i´ll giv it a try.
I can start with my current spec...
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum 54G
AMD A64 3200+ Winchester
Corsair TwinX 1024 XMS Pro 3200LL
2x Maxtor diamondmax s-ata 80BG
Gainward 2400GT GS (6800GT)
Coolermaster Hyper 6 cpu cooler
Tagan 480w psu (28A on 12V)
Then i can continue with saying that this problem that occurs with my corsair memorys dose not happend with Adata vitesta 566 memorys.
I figure your getting curious by now
Well heres the deal. In normal frequencys, multipliers and dividers this setup runs just fine, but when i try to oc it past 220Mhz FSB only one multiplier will work, regardless of HTT multiplier or any other bios setting. The only cpu multipel that it will boot with in 133 divider is X5 over 220Mhz FSB, with the 166 divider the only cpu multipel that works then is x6, and only the x4 cpu multipel works in 200 divider. Keep in mind that this didnt happend with adata vitesta sticks, it ran fine with every multipel/divider config...
Oddly enough it works fine in 100 divider on the memorys, every cpu multipel works then past 220Mhz FSB. So far i have gotten my winnie stable at 2,6GHz in standard vcore (with adata vitesta in 200 divider or with corsair running in 100 divider, 290x9 on the cpu).
The divider table is as follows with the corsair sticks :
100 divider= every cpu multiplier bootable
133 divider= only x5 cpu multipel is bootable
166 divider= only x6 cpu multipel is bootable
200 divider= only x4 cpu multipel is bootable
With Adata vitesta 566 the following applys:
100 divider= every cpu multiplier bootable
133 divider= every cpu multiplier bootable
166 divider= every cpu multiplier bootable
200 divider= every cpu multiplier bootable
Could someone please tell me what causes this I realize that it´s because of some incompatabillity between my corsair sticks and the mobo/cpu, but what?

im having the same problem running 2x512 crucial value select 3200.
with everything at default speeds, cant lower memory speed or comp crashes before windows loads.
if i take out one stick and just run 512, then i can lower memory to 100. but thats it, except i can do the speeds that u listed with the specific cpu multiplier. with 2 sticks in though i cannot lower the memory speed at all. i cant find any fixes for this, if anyone has any clues please help!

Wlan with k8n neo2 and windows 64

Hi everyone,
I'm just wondering if anybody has the wlan card shiped with the k8n neo2 working under windows 64 ?
I could not install the drivers coming with the board. Windows didn't like them. And msi has no 64bit driver on their page.
So do i have to switch to 32bit windows or use the cable again to get internet running?
Thanks,
vanish

I had it installed as a parallell installation with xp32bits just to play with it some.
Switched by changing what hd to boot from in bios . so the xp32/xp64
was completly isolated from eachother .
Removal was just to boot up xp32 and format the other drive ..
But got tired of it pretty fast .
Missed some drivers for connected printer/scanner also .
No much sense in running 32bits programs in xp64bits as they run with
the use of emulation 64-32 via wow64 and run slower than on a xp32bits system.
But it was fun to use the 64bits IE6 , blazing fast compared to the 32bits .

MSI k8n neo2 and cpu vcore...

Dear All,
I just check out with core cell my vcore and i find it @ 1.5v ... but a64 .09 should have 1.4v? I also tryied to set vcore in bios at 1.4v
but in windows i always find 1.5
I check it with ntune and core cell...
What happens?
tnx

Use cpu-z from www.cpuid.com to check the voltage .
The mobo bios may still autodetect winchester to 1.5v , if thats the case change
cpu_vid from startup to 1.4v .

K8N Neo2 and 6800 Problems

System 3500 939 cpu K8N Neo mainboard 6800 Nvidia Card 1024 Ram XP PRO SP2
I have tried various Drivers 61.77 67.03 65.73 71.20 66.81 66.93 71.24 and many things listed on various forums to stop my computer from crashing 30 seconds into a game. At the momment I have formatted my hard drive and only have Mainboard drivers , video drivers & Directx 9.0c, Colin Mcrae & UT2004. Games still crashing. I have installed 3 diferent video cards ASus geforce 2 , MSI 4200 TI and Radeon 9800 pro all 3 cards run perfect on my system except Asus and 4200 Ti are slow with frame rates. Otherwise no crashes and lock ups. As soon as the 6800 goes back in my system all games crash. Took my card to a friend who has a n force 2 Gigabyte board and my 6800 runs perfect. One thing I noticed on my system was with an older version of DirectX it took longer for my games to crash.
Any help would be appreciated but after all this I think I will never buy Nvidia again, my previous systems I have always had Via mainboard chipsets and have never had a problem. What a big mistake I made this time!

Okay thanks for your replys disabling fast writes did nothing to fix my problem or changing any settings in Riva tuner like alot of people on other forums were saying.
I have now seemed to have fixed the problem and it was such a simple solution I can't believe I hadn't tried it before I'm kicking myself!
My LCD monitor display likes to be set at 1280x1024 okay well guess what I had never tried running a game at that resolution. So in my game resolution settings when I set it to 1280x1024 I have no lock ups or crashes. If I change the resolution either on my desktop or in the game settings it crashes. I can't believe I never tried it before. Thanks everyone I will try different resolutions now.

Ssd boot issue Mac Pro and MAvericks

Hello there,
So here is a good one.
I am running the latest of Mavericks on a Mac Pro late 2009
One of the disk was getting really noisy and slow so I decided to upgrade to SSD.
I used the disk utility to clone the main drive to the SSD and then used the Start up tool to boot from the new SSD.
So far no issue.
BUT after the next reboot i get a white screen.
I boot from the installation disk and check the disk utility and everything is there.
I decide to restore a Time Machine image of my main drive just in case but same thing.
I re-check the disk utility and the back up has been done properly (name , size etc ..) but still cannot boot.
When I check the details of the disk it says that IT IS bootable but when I open the Start up tool form the installation DVD, it doesnt see any bootable disk .
At this point I am kind of lost.
I don't use any cable for the SSD, it is directly plugged to the motherboard though the disk slot.
Thanks.

Which Icy Dock type adapter are you using for it? it won't plug in properly w/o one.
You will need to use one of the TRIM enablers for your Samsung - I have half a dozen of them from the 830 128GB thru the 840 EVO 250 and 500GB
They work fine.
Not all cloning goes as planned and there I think Carbon Copy Cloner is ideal or best, along with the fact it makes it easy to include a Recovery partition when you do.
Also there should be about 11% free space set aside as spare page cells.
Turbo-write is an iffy feature and you wouldn't be using it. Data Migration is a great Windows clone program but only works to clone TO a Samsung SSD regardless of source - I like it enough to buy two Samsung SSDs. And their programs

Is there a big difference between MSI K8N SLI and MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboa

i am a bit tight on budget, so I was wondering if I should get the MSI K8N SLI motherboard instead of the MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboard (my previous choice),.......what do u guys say ?

Hi,
Note that he is not talking about the Neo4 versions, looks like in the US MSI has different products:
Here is the K8N SLI:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=681
And here is the K8N NEO4 SLI:
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4/SLI&class=mb
One has Sound blaster, the other does not.
Besides, K8N SLI Platinum has only one LAN.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=641
While the Neo4 Platinum has two.
http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI&class=mb
A bit confusing right !? Remember that this forum is accessed by people all over the world.
The thing is that the Neo4 and the related non-Neo are using the same BIOS AFAIK.

Narrowing down stability issues with NEO2 and PSU

I have been having problems for 1-2 weeks now with my setup and i am very thankfull to this forum for leading me to the point that i am now. Using Prime95 i think that i have been able to narrow my problem down to PSU being the culprit.
I was initally getting intermittant problems trying to POST (cd drives keep initiallizing) and seemed to solve this by getting my 6800GT a molex connector with nothing else on it. This was not the solution as i continued to get BSOD's, and general instability. Memtest off a boot CD was always fine but Prime95 never made it past the 2nd test, usually failing quite quickly. I then pulled everything but my SATA Raid 0 array off the board and swapped out the 6800GT card with a Radeon 9000. Prime95 worked! Tested for 5 hours no problem. Then i added my floopy,CDDrives,USB devices and now i am fully loaded and Prime95 tests NO PROBLEM.
68000GT appears to push my dual rail 12v PSU over the edge. My 520 volt OCZ PSU comes on tuesday and i hope that i will finally have a stable kick ass system.
I just wanted to post this for all others to view and comment, as my config is probably a very common one (actually i built it based upon sharky extreme's reccomendation!! see: http://www.sharkyextreme.com/guides/MHGSBG/article.php/3415901 - this is exactly my config except for i have the XMS memory and some other add ons) I am real disapointed with AMD/MSI for not being more forthcoming about PSU requirements, as i have spent a good 10 hours troubleshooting this problem, lost some needed sleep, etc.)

Well - it is finished.
My problems are 100% solved!!
I have determined that 2 symptoms existed. With my current config, i was getting false starts from a cold boot (about 1 in 4). Over time, i also noticed instability and BSOD's, corruption etc.
Step 1 - this forum - thanks for all the advice
Step 2 - Upgrade power supply. This ELIMINATED my BSOD's although there was minor stuff happening (event viewer with littered dead bodies, certain programs would not run) but i feel this was a result of running at full load with inadequate PSU
Step 3 - Shame on me for not doing it sooner, but upgrading bios to 1.3 solved the false start problem. I dont know how, i can only assume some incompatabilty with a piece of hardware i had with 1.2 was causing the problem.
Step 4 - format and reinstall. I have been working FLAWLESSLY for 3+ days now without 1 crash, false start, or any weirdness whatsover. My system is purring!
I would like to thank all for your reminders and ideas, as this was the longest 2 weeks for me. I have never had a problem with a build like this and i was ONE DAY from RMA'ing the board. I am glad i did not.
Advice to all - 1) purchase an adequate PSU 2) If you have 1.2 bios, dump it!
PS - also, thanks for the reccomendation NOT to install the IDE driver from Nvidia, my CDDrive never really worked right until this latest install and the only difference from the last XP install was that i did NOT install that driver.
Thanks Again!

PXE boot issue with DHCP and SCCM server on different subnets

I'm working with a client on the operating system deployment module of SCCM.
Their network configuration currently has a single large subnet for client
computers with a DHCP server on the same subnet. The SCCM subnet is
configured on a seperate subnet with no DHCP server on the subnet. We want to
configure client computers to be able to boot using the PXE client to deploy
OS images to the machines but can not get PXE-boot to work correctly.
Also, the client does not want to make changes to their network
infrastructure routers or switches to remedy this problem. Are there settings
on the DHCP or SCCM servers we can implement to make this work? If so, what
needs to be installed or configured on each server. We currently already have
WDS installed on the SCCM server and the SCCM server is configured as a PXE
Service Point within SCCM. Both WDS and the PXE Service Point seem to be working fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Gary

I am Brazilian,
sorry for wrong english
My DHCP is on linux,
in my own structure VLANS
The system center is on the network
10.0.4.0/24
The machines on the network 10.0.5.0/24
The problem is that the machines that
are not on the same network system center
can not boot
I tried configuring / etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf
follows
option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient";
option bootfile-name "\
\ SMSBOOT \ \ x86 \
\ wdsnbp.com";
option tftp-server-name

But it did not work, anyone know
how to configure?
