Card Reader problem with MSI K8T Neo

Hi,
I have the K8T Neo motherboard, and every once and a while my Atech Flash 9 in 1 card reader (http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=20-176-003&depa=0) doesn't power up, thus I can't use it.
What's odd is that all my other USB devices work flawlessly.
The only way I'm able to use the card reader again is to power down my computer and then flip the power switch on the psu, then turn it back on, or unplug the reader from the usb header on the motherboard and plug it back in.
I've noticed other people have had similar issues...
Any ideas what causes this, or any ideas on how to fix this?

Yes, I had the same hanging problems as well with older BIOS versions then 1.7.
But that isn't the problem I'm talking about, the computer always starts up, it's just a matter if the usb reader will work or not.
Maybe MSI has yet to make a BIOS that is compatible with all card readers.

memory voltage 2.1
Make sure that the memory timings are not set to 4-4-4-x but that they are set to the defaults values (5-5-5-x). Also ensure, that the memory clock speed is not set to anything higher than 400 MHz (=DDR2-800). The voltage at these settings should not need to exceed 1.95V. So please lower it accordingly. In case the freezes still occure, please run memtest86+ to check your memory for errors.

Please get rid of that tool for all further tests. Uninstall it completely from your system as it is known to cause crashes and freezes on its own terms when running.

[Athlon64] TV tuner problems on MSI k8t neo

Hello,
I used TV@nywhere Master. Since beginning it worked.
After graphic card reclamation (MSI GeForce 6800 LE) I tried another graphic cards (at first Legend 64 [1 MB, PCI], later Riva TNT 2 vanta [16 MB, AGP], GeForce 5600 VIVO [128 MB, AGP]). With this Legend graphic card at first my PC beeps for a while, but Windows XP started (even without graphic drivers). I tried another graphic cards (with correct graphic drivers), but since then there was no video on my TV tuner (channels were recognized, sound was possible to hear, but only black screen). I got new GeForce 6800 LE card, but the problem was the same also with this card.
I reinstalled windows XP several times, but always with the same behavior.
Maybe similar as it is mentioned here:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=27537.msg158205#msg158205 (TV@nywhere Master sound but only black picture.)
I tested TV tuner at my friend's PC and it worked, so TV tuner is not broken.
So I bought new TV tuner card (Sapphire theatrix 550), but this card was not even detected under Windows device manager.
When I tried to install ATI drivers, I got BSOD and my PC was restarted.
(there was no problem at my friend's PC [athlon xp 2200, nforce 2 chipset])
Is it problem with PCI slots of my motherboard?
My system:
MSI k8t neo (k8t800 chipset)
Athlon 64-3000+
512 MB DDR
MSI GeForce 6800 LE
Windows XP SP2

Just to note:
there was also problem with network (not detected).
Reclamation was necessary.
There was no similar problem with returned motheboard.

Problems with msi k8n neo-2 and xfx 6800 card

is this card incompatible with the msi k8n neo-2 motherboard?
i ve got this mobo last week and when i tried to install the card to it nothing comes on screen, no beeps or nothing, ive changed the power supply, the card works fine on my old pc with both power supplies (old pc was 2500+ amd with epox 8rda+) i ve tried booting up with nothing else connected on the psu except the card itself, it still doesnt seem to work, the new motherboard works fine with my old radeon 9600 pro.
What can i do?

Thats not what I read (assuming this is the same correct model)
420W double unit
DC O/P Load Max
+5V 42 Amp.
+12V 16 Amp.
+3.3V 28 Amp.
-5V 0.5 Amp.
-12V 0.8 Amp.
+5VSB 2 Amp.
Agreed that one is 420W, but is that it or not?

I can't handle any more problems with this K8t NEO

Hi all, I am new to the forum.
I will honestly say I have tried to read allot of posts before I spoke up but....
I have:
K8t NEO
3200 64
Updated to the latest BIOS
Corsair Overclocking RAM (I am looking up the specs)
256 sick on slot 1
256 stick on slot 3
A new PS....something like:
3.3v 40
5v 38
12v 24 (the local CS gave me a hard time saying I DO NOT NEED such a big PS)
Maxtor 40 gig ATA133
NVIDIA 5600 256
and dwindling patience.
anyhoo, I have had one problem after another trying to get this system to work.
It took 3 hours to find that you cant run 3 sticks of ram.
The manual is the worst one I have ever seen. and there is no phone number to be found to talk to tech support.
I am not getting anywhere with the email "support" from MSI....a DAY to get an abreviated answer that does not answer the specific question. It may be a viable system if they get more staff.
One question...why does the screen "push any key to boot from CD" get "missed"
and two.... I cannot install the OS. It will scopy all of its files and on reboot, i get a messasge about not finding the boot info or something...and to insert a floppy.
I gave up and ran a preloaded HD and it worked for a day until during a recording session, It crashed and when it rebooted it says it cant find any boot info...I should of wrote down the message.
Now What??
I have tried:
A different HD cable
HD jumper settings (Slave / Master)
I tried a low level format.
3 different HDs
Bought the new PS.
I hope I do not have to send this thing in...I dont have hardly any free time. (does anyone?) IF it is needing replaced...do I deal with MSI or the Hindus (zboysz) I bought this Mobo from? I have nothing against Hindus but I CANNOT understand ANYTHING they are saying to me.
Sorry for venting here.
Can anyone can help?
TIA,
~Wizzie

Hey Wizzie
Although I have bought stuff from Tiger Direct ...If I were you instead of fooling around with RMA-ing more defective/incompatable RAM why not get the RAM modules that are indeed compatable with this mobo .........

VCORE PROBLEMS WITH MSI P35 NEO F

To see if I can help or at least explain what's happening, buy a MSI P35 NEO F for using a quad, the topic is as follows handling vcore is rare
First thing I can not put less voltage that the cpu brings default, second what happens next if bios setting 1.3250 vcore for Quad, once in both windows everest, cpuz, like others programs tell me that this placed on 1.40 vcore which is excessive for the speed at which the quad, this is so in this mobo? Their story that was installed version 1.20 bios which handled vcore%, the upgrade to version 1.40 and is now handled in decimals (numbers) vcore, but still the problem
You pull more vcore which setting in bios and if you want to download the vcore eg put 1.26 vcore not let you because it takes the vcore default of cpu minimum.
i'm not crashing or problems with the temperatures, but nobody likes to have more vcore's necessary.
Wonder because being rookie of this mobo, maybe there's some bios version that fixes this bug or someone knows something else, thank you guys

You can slap 1.6v in that CPU and temps won't rise that much.
Core 2 Duo/Quad operates @ 1.250-1.425, anywhere in between those values is perfectly stable for Intel stock cooler and frequency.
Absolutely nothing to worry about. But if you want to complain about >1c I really can't see the sense in that.

Problem with MSI 865P Neo and G4 Winfast

Hi all,
I bought the mainboard MSI 865P Neo. Have put it into G4 Winfast A280 LE TDH my vivo. And the problem appeared.
When I doing whatever in Win (for example open explorer, mouse rightclick ...) the screen is simply runing over.
Seems like a video card doesn`t handle it or Screen (monitor) is poor but it`s not. The same problem appears also while Windows is installed.
Little note I want to add is my G4 has new Bios setup and on my second card Leadtek G2 MX everything`s ok. It seems for conflict between the mainboard and my v-card. Have you met similar problem ?
Would be grateful for an answer
Best regards

On my old mainboard - ABIT ST6R (with G4) everything was ok. I changed mainboard, RAM and P4 and problem has appeared.
MSI supports AGP 8x/4x at 0.8V (AGP 3.0) or 4x at 1.5V (3.3V not supported)
If G4 needs 3.3V (I can't find G4 how much needs) that problem is obvious. I must change mainboard.
Anyone knows how much G4 poverage needs?

Problems with MSI P31 Neo mobo

Hello all,
I just received my new MSI P31 Neo motherboard today and have spent nearly the whole day trying to get it to work.
My problem is that when you turn the system on about 4/5 times there is no graphics displayed what so ever. When the graphics do come on and you can go through the BIOS it quite often jams. If occasionally you do get past that, when the Windows XP disc starts to load the files for the installer, it Jams and you need to restart, restarting this long process.
My CPU is supposed to be supported, it's a 3.6ghz Intel Pentium 4 chip. I am using 4 x Samsung Original 1024MB DDR2 PC5300 RAM though it only shows 2gb of it in the BIOS. The graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 512MB PCI-E.
Can anyone tell me how to get this mobo to work? Things to try? Otherwise I think I will just have to send it back...

UPDATE:
I tried booting with 2 RAM Chips and it works great! This seemed to be the problem.
The ram IS double sided which would explain it.
If you are wanting some more system specs, just ask and I will try and get the most I can.
Del UK:
If I could run 4gb it would be great but I cannot seem to find the SPD in bios. My BIOS is American Megatrends Inc. v02.61 so it would be great if you could help me with that!
If all else fails I might either just settle with 2GB or buy some new RAM chips. Can anyone please tell me some Ram chips which would be able to give this mobo 4GB?
Thanks

Clock speed problem with MSI K8M Neo-V

Hi all,
I'm a newbie on all this tasks of mounting my own PC, so I'm very sorry if my question is stupid and is already answered in the forum (I didn't find it).
I have the following components:
- MSI K8M Neo-V
- 2 SATA HD 160 Gb
- AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+
- 512 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)
My problem is that I cannot get my AMD 3200 to run at 3200 Mhz. What I
only get is:
- CPU ratio x11
- CPU FSB clock 210
- Dynamic overclocking colonel (my BIOS doesn't have general or
commander, as shown in manual)
That makes a total of 2.31 Mhz, far away from the 3.2 desired.
If I try to change this values to others higher (such as FSB 230), I get a black screen
and I need to reset BIOS.
Please, could you help me solve this situation? I find it really
disturbing to have bought a new AMD 64 3200 with a good motherboard,
and not being able to make it run at the appropiate speed.
Thank you very much in advance.

3.2GHz. Wow. I would kill to have an A64 at that speed. :D
Quote from: Tiresmoke on 14-April-05, 23:19:47
AMD's don't run at the speed they have listed on the CPU, rather that is a performance equivalent number. In this instance your CPU has the equivalent performance of an Intel that runs at 3200Mhz.
Actually I believe the Performance number equivalent to the MHz an AMD Thunderbird would be at, NOT an Intel CPU.

W500 card reader problems- with a wrinkle??

My card reader won't recognize SDHC cards. I have a W500 (4061-BL2) running Win XP Pro, Service Pack 3. I installed the latest drivers for the 4-in-1 reader (Ricoh Multi Card Reader driver 3.64.02 which does show up in the "Add/Remove Programs" listing). Based on reading this forum, I considered KB934428, but, when I tried to install the hotfix, I learned it is not needed with SP3. (I didn't try to install KB923293 which is the other hotfix frequently mentioned for this problem as it appears to be older than the ...428 hotfix??)
Everything appears to be normal in Device Manager.
When I try to insert a Kingston 8GB SDHC card (that I know has pictures on it as I can see the pictures on my Canon camera), my system does recognize the card (under "My Computer", it shows up as "SD/MMC (E", but, when I try to access the card, it only says "The disk is not formatted.. Do you want to format now?".
I know there are 20 other forum posts on this problem, but, mine appears to be somewhat unique with XP SP3.
Like everyone else with this problem, I can read the card just fine with a USB card reader.
Any help will be deeply appreciated! Love the W500 except for this nagging problem as I am really anxious to use the card reader.

I just fixed a co-workers Ricoh 4-in-1 reader by following these instructions
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-70881
It says it's for R61 but worked on W500.
Running Windows XP Pro SP2. I tried the Lenovo Drivers but they didn't work.

Problems With MSI K8N Neo Platinum

Posting some probems I have face and wondering if you folks have experience similar problems. I bought 2 and bot hahve same problems (sold both of it). Another friend of mine have also same problems with the board.
1. SATA 1/2 don't work properly. I have detection problems using SATA ports 1/2. The comp will not detect my IDE devices and hang at POST screen. Reboot/reset don't solve the problem. I have to turn off and on to get it to work. Problem is only sovled after switching to SATA 3/4.
2. Network disconnection problem. The NIC will auto disconnect and reconnect back by itself, esp. when under overclocked conditions.
3. Cannot overclock much using DIMM slot-1 esp. when mem is over 230MHz. Must change to slot 2/3. Even so, I do face BSOD stating an USB driver is the cause of the issue.
4. Comp will sometimes unable to reboot at FSB between ~210-240MHz. 250Mz and above seems OK.
Now, I am using Abit KV8 Pro 1.1 and it works fine though. No FSB reboot issues. I am using 1.1 with latest BIOS, thus not AGP/PCI lock issues. Hope MSI will fix those problems mentioned ASAP cause my Abit don't work with mobile A64s. :(

Seriously, I have absolutely no idea. It may be a QC problem, it may be a design problem, its may be BIOS or others. The only thing I know that after I jump ship to Abit KV8 Pro 1.1, all these problems are gone. Only problem is that Abit don't support mobile A64s.
BTe, just another problem or maybe over conservative restrictions. When using DDR333 RAMs, the BIOS will not allow you to manually set it to 400. Thus at 200MHz FSB/HTT, your RAM is stuck at 166MHz. Pretty stupid restriction I have to say.

USB card reader problem with T430 laptop (Win 8)

I have a Thinkpad T430, running Windows 8 with 16G memory.
I have recently encountered problems with a USB card reader. I thought the reader was faulty so I bought a new one, but that one fails as well. It makes no difference which socket it is in.
After being plugged in for a few seconds, the 'drives' the reader sets up start to flash in the 'Computer' window - it seems they are continually being disconnected and reconnected.
Disabling USB 3.0 in the BIOS makes no difference. One card reader is USB 2 and the other is USB 3
Changing the power settings so the USB selective suspend is disabled makes no difference.
I am pretty sure that it was OK a month ago when I last used a card reader (the machine is about 2 months old).
What is going on?
Any ideas?
Thanls,
Michael

Ok Mr. Micheal,

Problem with my k8t neo

Ok, for some reason my puter will not boot at times, it tell me one of 3 things, a) no hd detected in dos screen, b) boots to logon screen and freezes, or c) boots to a blank screen and freezes. I was thinking that mh hd was going bad but its pretty new and i have heard on other forums that some other ppl are having similar probs with msi boards. Any help would be much appreciated!
System specs;
120 gb samsung SATA hd
radeon 9800 pro 256
mushkin pc3200 ram 2x512
athlon 64 3000
thanks!

How about what PSU you have complete with the 12v amps off it's label. What timings are you set too with that RAM? What other devices do you have attached? What version of Windows? Is it a clean install and that sort of stuff. The more we know the better we can attempt to get you good help. Also make a signature here with your base specs so we don't have to hunt them down.

Big problem with MSI K8N neo 2!!!

I don't know what it is, but it's a big porblem that many people have with their new K8N Neo 2 Pl motherboard. The problem is that the system freezes and you must push the power button or the reset button.
It happens randomly, when i move my mouse, when i am copying something, when i download something.
I have already updated my bios, with no result. My brother has totally the same specs like me. We bought it at the same time and he has no problems and my pc freezes all the time.
What could it be?
specs:
3800+
POV 6800 Ultra
Twinmos Matched 1Gb PC3200
2 x 160 Gb maxtor Diamandplus 9
Akasa 460 Watt.
Msi what the have you done with my motherboard?

How does that dual power rail thing work? can one device pull from both at the same time? (i.e. the cpu) if not the 14/15 amps from only one of the rails wouldnt be enough, if that is not the problem, it sounds like you got ahold of some dodgy memory. run memtest86+ from a boot floppy, if it clears 10 hours, well start looking for other culprits. it may very well be the motherboard, but the best way to get help is not to go on a forum dedicated to that manufacturer and start cussing at them.
