Change CPU only, not booting up. MSI KT8 Neo2 F

Hi,
I'm not sure of the chipset so I might be in the wrong forum but I have a (now) 2 year old MSI KT8 Neo2 F (I think F/FIR?...NOT a dual core). I built the PC 2 years ago and it's been doing fine with a AMD 3500+ CPU.
I had wanted an FX-55 since those days and they're now very affordable from Newegg ($139 shipped) so I bought one. According to all written info that I've seen, my motherboard should easily support the FX-55:
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=608&NAME=MS-6702E&kind=1
So, it arrives and I installed it but now the PCs not booting up. The CPU fan's turning, it's trying but all I'm getting is a black screen. The first time I tryed to start it, after a few seconds it shut off. I unplugged the PC, removed the cpu to double check everything but found nothing wrong. It's installed correctly. After seeing that I'm still not seeing anything on my screen the second start attempt, I unplugged it.
Now, I remember that I had problems 2 years ago when I swapped out different hard drives. It wouldn't boot unless I reset the CMOS jumper (I believe that's the correct term?). Might that be what I need to do now to swap CPUs?
Anyone else run into this?

Hi!
You have a K8T Neo2 (6702E) and you need to flash bios to support this cpu. Use version 9.3 or 9.2 (I prefer 9.3 myself, since I ran into trouble with the 9.2, but most people are fine using both). Try starting your system in single channel (using only one memory module in the slot closest to the CPU. Flash bios using a bootable floppy with CD-Rom support or bootable CD with rom-file and flash utility on CD.
Flashing is at your own risk always.
Good luck!
PS: Please clear CMOS after flashing. Don't forget to disconnect from AC when you reset cmos.

CPU will not boot up

CPU will not boot up. When the power button is pressed, either from a cold boot, power off or from a reset, the hard drive begins to operate, then you hear 4 beaps a pause of about 5 seconds and then the fan races.

You may have to repurchase some programs if you can't recover their registration codes, etc... Try though some of the data recovery techniques outlined on my backup FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
Also try replacing the clock battery.

MB RS480M2 will not boot with MSI videocard R5450

I purchased R5450 vidocard via internet, put it on MB RS480M2 and the latter did not boot afterwards.
(Tried everything). (It worked in another computer.....)
I cannot sent it back: waited to long.
Is there something with my BIOS?
I have the latest official BIOS: V3.9
What can I do: I expected that a PCI-E card from MSI should fit on a MSI MotherBoard with a PCI-E slot.
Can anyone help me?
Kind regards: LGM

Yep, problem is the PCI Express x 16 slot which supports only PCI Express Bus specification v1.0a on RS480M2.

[Solved] No boot bc changed file(Old:not booting after battery runout)

x86_64
kernel 3.7.9-1
Cinnamon DE
I was copying files from an external USB HDD and I didn't notice the battery was running out, and so it did run out.
Therefore it shut down, and now I can't access Linux. (Also tried fallback mode)
Also I'm dual-booting arch and w7, and w7 does boot, it's weird that arch just won't.
So Grub menu does load, but after selecting Arch , it just hangs with one text line and prompt, also can't input anything; it shows like this:
/dev/sda4: clean, 250964/1638400 files, 2039871/6553600 blocks
That's shown when I don't have the USB HDD connected (the one I copied files from)
And when I do have it connected, it's the same just some more lines:
/dev/sda4: clean, 250969/1638400 files, 2040885/6553600 blocks

Without the 'quiet' kernel parameter, it says that dhcpcd service failed and it stucks at [OK] Graphical User Interface.
Also managed to get the logs (dmesg,journalctl,xorg.0.log). And with all of your input I realized that I recently modified several files to have another keyboard layouts, which I still haven't managed to achieve. I remember I did reboot after the changes to those files, but other layouts never showed up, so I left those files modified (mistake)
Now the thing is that I thought that I had fixed one of them '10-keyboard.conf' in the above posts, as frank604 suggested commenting out the whole section inputclass. For some reason I Interpreted that as 'coment out only ''inputclass' line'' and never checked the log (xorg.0.log) after the change...
Well now after checking the new log, it says 'error on line 7' so after commenting out the whole section, like this:
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "ye"
Option "XbkLayout" "us"
#Section "InputClass"
# Identifier "Keyboard-layout"
# MatchIsKeyboard "on"
# Option "XkbLayout" "us,es"
# Option "XkbOption" "grp:caps_toggle"
EndSection
I typed startx ,it didn't mark another error but it still wouldn't start,so I decided to reboot.
After that... arch does enter now !
All of this just because I wanted to change the keyboard layouts.
Having said that.. the problem was that file I modified and after removing my changes and rebooting, now it boots!. Seems like the 'battery run out while copying files' was not related to arch not booting, or so I think.
Thanks for all your attention

Unable to detect Hyper Threading of CPU SL6WE 3.2 in MSI-865PE Neo2

Hi! I am new to this forum and need some help. I have just installed a Intel Pentium 4 3.2GHz Northwood SL6WE 478 800MHz/512k . I bought this on e-bay and understand that this cpu supports hyper threading. I have enabled hyper threading in the bios, but only see one cpu in Widows System Properties and only one cpu in Windows Task Manager. I had a 2.6 cpu installed previously, no hyper threading. My motherboard is an MSI-865PE Neo2 version 1.1, 2GB Ram ( 4x512 ?), Thermaltke TR2-430W power supply, Freezer 4 Arctic Cooler, Nvidia GeForce 6600, LG DVD RAM burner, 16x DVD ROM, WD 250 gig and an Hitachi 80 gig hard drive. I also used Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste (after using Arcticclean and Surface Purifier). Have I missed somethig? Would appreciate help in solving why I have no hyper threading.

200 7-3-3-2.5 Ultra Turbo and 212 5-3-3-2.5 Ultra Turbo is a
no boot. Thinks ultra-turbo tries to set mem timings to
2-2-2-5 below 218FSB and my memory can't do that.
Turbo boots ok. Normal setting disabled PAT.
200 2.5-3-3-7 Turbo PAT on 4.6GB/s
200 2.5-3-3-7 Normal PAT off 4.2GB/s
212 2.5-3-3-5 Turbo PAT on 4.8GB/s
212 2.5-3-3-5 Normal Pat off 4.5GB/s
Also tried 250 1:1, not prime95 stable
250 2.5-3-3-7 Ultra-turbo 6GB/s
I think pat is disabled above 218FSB on
1:1 and 5:4 setting, but not on 4:5 setting.
You should get close to or above 6GB/s at
1:1 250 3-3-3-5 bios overclocking.
Maybe something is running in the background
stealing cpu power or something?
Well, you have to test some more, maybe a
fresh windows setup will help?

MSI KT8 Neo2 F board, upgraded cpu and used MSIs Live Update, now unstable BSODs

I've had this mobo for almost 2 yrs now with an AMD 3500+ cpu and recently upgraded that to the FX-55. To do that, it required using MSIs Live Update and needed newer chipset drivers. It has the latest bios according to Live Update.
It took a few attempts but finally booted w/o BSODs and has been running for over 1 week BUT is still not right. It's sometimes unstable and will crash (BSOD) just by starting up a browser. I had the bios settings at "optimized" and have tryed a few other changes but so far, I'm not gaining. Last night I couldn't keep it running more than a few minutes w/o it crashing.
I have the MSI manual for my board and plan to spend some more time playing with it tonight but might anyone here have any ideas? It's not running hot (reads 50C) and was stable before with the 3500+. I've tryed "Fail Safe" bios settings too but nothing's better that way either.
I'm hoping that someone here has a few ideas?
Perhaps related?
After initially running this with the new cpu, I'd see the "searching for MAC address" message and it'd hang there on boot. Someone told me that was because it was trying to do a network boot, selected in the boot sequence SO I've unselected that and that's when things got worse (oddly as it shouldn't IMO). One can select the 3+ boot devices (floppy, USB, CD-DVD rom, HDD) and it use to see the HDDs (2) before but now I'm not (only floppy and CD-DVD rom) and if I unselect the ethernet option (boot other devices), it fails to boot at all and says "insert floppy" as if I was installing Win98 way back when (running XP Pro btw). Something's definately not right with my bios selections.

Let's go back to basics here for a bit. Start by posting your complete specs in your signature like we do. Make sure that your PSU values are also in there.
Let's also look at some tests to help determine where the issue is. I would recommend Memtest86+, OCCT, Prime95, and 3DMarks as a great first series. Also get CPUz and lets see what it shows for CPU and Memory.
If we can get an idea where things begin to fall apart then maybe we can determine if this is driver, hardware or some other issue without having to make the flash happen first. The reason why I am avoiding the flash at this point is that if things are mostly working maybe there is some other cause than Bios. We know that some FX's work with 3.x and some that don't. So I would like to try a bit of checking before we dive into a flash that could cause more issues than it solves if we get this wrong. As things are mostly working now we can assume at least for the moment that maybe the flash is not needed. If we don't see anything during testing that sheds some light then maybe we go ahead with the flash.
That is if your willing to take some time to try and sort this out and maybe learn some stuff in the process. It is of course your call and we will respect whichever decission you make here.

PC does not boot from MSI DR4-A DVD drive

Hi,
I've just bought a NetVista P4 1.6-256MB-40GB PC with an IBM branded LG CDROM. Booted fine from the CDROM drive.
I've replaced it with an MSI DR4-A DVD+/-RW drive, but I am unable to boot from it. It is the only drive on the 2nd IDE flatcable, and set as master. I've tried a new IDE cable as well, to make sure it wasn't a cable problem, no luck.
The DVD drive is recognised in the BIOS, IDE 0 is the 40GB harddisk, and IDE 2 is the CD/DVD-ROM. IDE 1 and 3 are not installed.
However there is no way I can get the system to boot from CD (or actually the DVD drive).
Windows XP is starting up fine as well from harddisk. It recognises the IDE/ATAPI DVD drive, says its enabled and all good. A drive name is assigned to it (E:, the Primary and Secondary IDE devices in the device manager list seem all to be fine).
However when I put a CD (Audio or Data) in it, it just says no volume, enter disc. Basically I can't use it to boot, nor can I use it once the OS is up and running. If I put the MSI DVD writer back in my external firewire case and connect to it, it works fine.
Have deleted and reinstalled the IDE/ATAPI driver without success. I've installed the latest IBM NetVista BIOS version 46AUS (of april 2004), but that had no effect either.
Any ideas? Or is the drive just incompatible with the IBM NetVista PC?
Regards,
Niels Roskam

Test the CDROM in another system and see if there's any problem.
Try setting it as Master drive using the jumper even if it's a Single drive on the IDE controller.

Batch change time only, not dates

I have imported photos from my cell phone and have discovered that the date stamp on all of them is exactly 7 hrs fast, even though the cell phone itself displays the correct time.
How can I change the time by exactly 7 hours on all of these imported photos (of which there are hundreds), other than one at a time? I see with batch change that you have to change to the same date and time on all your selected photos.
Thanks.
Barb

It will work. Select the pics and use the Hour column to add seven hours. The date will only change adding the seven hours will push the photo past midnight.
So, a photo tagged at 7 am on January 1 will be time shifted to 2pm on January 1
A photo tagged at midday in January 3 will be time shifted to 7pm on January 3
A photo tagged at 8 pm on January 4 will be time shifted to 3 am on January 5
Back up before you try this. If it doesn't work, restore your back up.

Changing CPU only in a G3 400 slot loader

Here's one I can't find anywhere in the discussions. Is the CPU on the iMac logic board removable as in ZIF? I upgraded the cpu in my G4 Yikes! and now have a 400MHz G4 cpu lying around. Thought it might be an interesting experiment to put it into the iMac if it's cpu is removable.

Hey Perry,
The processor is not a user serviceable item with the slot load iMacs. There are companies that will install a new G4 for around $200. But You have to send the motherboard to them.

Kt8 neo2 6702 200gb hard disk problem booting/recognising bios v9.3

Hi,
just bought a new msi kt8 neo2 series m/b. MS-6702 E It has 1gb ddr 3200 ram 400w generic psu amd64 3500+ cpu sblaster audigy + generic net card + xpertvision 6800gs 512mb video card. The proble is the hard drive, I think? its a samsung 200gb that was working fine in my last puter untill i put it into my new one. it has xp on the 1st partition and kubuntu on the second with grub as the boot loader. everthing was hunkey dorey in the last system, but wheni try and boot grub gives me a error 17 and with a bit more fiddling tells me it cant mount the selected partition because the bios does not recognise that many cylinders or sectors, cant remember exactly. Have tried a different boot loader including lilo without success. The disk is recognised in the bios as a 33.2 or 32.3 gb drive? i have flashed to v9.3 successfully, after accidently hosing the previous board with a bad flash from my stupidity anyhow has anyone else come across a problem like this? i had a look in the stickies and searched a bit but couldnt find anything. If i boot a linux live cd it can see the drive fine at 200gb and access all my old data without a problem. any help would be greatly appriciated as im about to pull out the last of my hair am i missing a setting in the bios? to enable lba 48bit addressing or sumthing? I have flashed older computers and then the bios recognised big drives but this one refuses to? does it not support them? heeeeeellllppp!!!
John

Thanx for your resonses. I have tried reinstalling Kubuntu and grub with the same result. but even if i get rid of grub, the bios is still seeing my 200gb hard drive as a 33.8gb one? wherever it pulled that number out of, who knows. so if i can boot into a console the "fixmbr" command will do what? remove grub and replace it with what? I have tried installing other boot loaders (lilo and gag) but with the same problem they all have a hissy at this 33.8gb drive thats all up
Kind Regards,
John

Blue Screen On MSI K8T Neo2

I'm Assembling this new PC unit of mine, Changing My Asus Mobo into this MSI K8T Neo2.
With this New Unit I bought a brand New HDD SataI Seagate Baracuda 160gb 7200rpm.
Here are the problems that I encounter:
1. Cannot Detect HDD.
But this issue has been already resolved, by Reinstalling New Windows.
2. (CURRENT PROB) Turns into BLUE SCREEN.
It hasnt yet booted into windows.
Take note: SO i thought HDD is th prob. But When i tried to run the same HDD into another unit, it runs smoothly and NO BLUE SCREEN problem.
Here are the Specs of my Unit:
CPU: AMD 64
Mobo: K8T Neo2 V1.X G52-M6702E1
Memory: 1gb Geil DDR400 PC 3200
Video Card: 256mb FX5600
HDD: 160gb Seagate Baracuda 7200rpm
OS: Windows XP service Pack2
PSU: 550watts HEC
Thanks,

You could try a different drive but I thinks that Fred is right about 2 core processor and the bios update.
Went through similar problems with the K8t Neo2 but that has been over two years ago. I'm pretty sure a bios update fixed it.

Msi 6511 will not boot

I received an msi 6511 and it will not boot, I only get a light on the floppy but I can not tell if the other leds are on because they are not hooked up (I do not have the manual to this board)!! The specs are
1.2 GHz amd athelon
384 mb pc100 sdram
onboard sound
onboard video
450 watt psu
Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi
Your athlon could either have a 100 fsb or a 133, they came both ways. If it is one with a 133fsb then the memory (PC100) is not fast enough to let it boot. Set jumper J6 to pins 2-3 for a 100mhz fsb so that the cpu fsb will match the memory.
See attached link for jumper settings if you don't have the manual. This appears to have been an oem motherboard used by packard bell among others.

KM3M-V MSI WILL NOT BOOT (NO VIDEO)

I just bought a MSI KM3M-V Motherboard Socket A today and it does not boot, meaning no video shows up.
Here is the story:
Using an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ Processor with CPU Heatsink and Fan wherby the fan powersup and the cpu also heats up.
I tried two different PSU's including one that is good enough for this motherboard.
I tried jumper changing for the cpu different ones and I also have the 4pin 12v plugged in from the PSU.
The RAM I am using is a 1GB DDR266 stick and I tried using the onboard video and even tried my own 128MB Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 AGP.
Nothing shows up on the monitor whatsoever. Does anyone know what the reason behind this is or what suggestions one may have before I return it back to the store?
Thanks

could you at least share the specs, so we can at least see them and know you're right?
the other possibility is the CPU is dead. is it new? has it ever worked before? can you try it on another board?

MSI K7N2 will not boot system.

Ok, here goes. This is a brand new system from Newegg.com. I have already RMA'd the board once. Both times with a brand new board, the system will load and allow me into BIOS. The first board simply reset itself after 12 seconds, and wouldn't come back on. The second time, after restarting the computer (with no changes), it shows a black screen only.
The fans move, but nothing comes on the screen. The system doesn't make any kind of usual startup sounds.
In the previous board, I tried plugging a Duron 850 (a chip I know works) into it and got the same result, so I am fairly sure the CPU is good.
System specs:
350 Watt PSU (I believe generic)
2X 512MB PC2700 Kingston value Ram
AMD AthlonXP 2100+
80 GIG HD
20 GIG HD
2X CD-ROM
Radeon 9500 Pro
I have tried booting the system with no ram and nothing but the video and HD plugged in, and got no beeps. I have tried every damn thing I can think of. Changed jumpers, unplugged and reseated everything, used onboard video, everything.
Can anyone help? I cannot get anything to appear on screen, a case of the system not booting.

I don't have the PC right in front of me (I'm at school now), but I do remember that it is a 350 watt PSU with a 3.3 rail that does 24 amps.
I have tried one stick of RAM.
The weird thing:
I tried unplugging the PC and the BIOS battery for about 10 minutes. Afterward, the computer started with my HD's and CD-ROM's attached. However, after loading bios and switching the FSB to 133 (with my Athlon 2100+), the system wouldn't reboot.
I again unplugged and waited. This time, I simply loaded BIOS and restarted the system. Same lockup-no boot thing. I repeated this twice.
I left the battery out all for around 6 hours overnight, and now the computer will not start again. I'm sooo frustrated...

Help MSI KT8 NEO WONT BOOT

I just built a new system, first i ran it baone ,only
A64 3200+ and MOBO kt8 neo fis2r
everything turned on and fan's working.. then i plugged in memory and vid card.. get into the early bios but some error message came in i forgot but it sounds like gigabit ethernet controller something, i tried to unplug memory then replug it.. suddenly the system turned on and nothing on the screen.. then the system just turned off... , i tried to turn it on , but it just work for 1 seconds then it's turned off by itself...
then I tried to look at processor, wondering did it burn.. i opened the hsf and fan.. then wiped off the ceramique thermal compound, to see any burn marks or smell for any burns.. but nothing.. it was clear.. i put another thermal compound, re attached hsf, put into case.. but now the system only booted for 1 second (the fans and leds etc).. then turned off by itself... i still tried this barebone..
could this be mobo or processor defect symptoms ??? My finger points to PSU rite now... dont laugh but my PSU is terrible... the +12v is 13Amps.. the others are on 20s and 30s Amps... I already ordered a new enermax 465 , but I just want to be sure from the symptom that it's not the mobo or processor.. cos if it is, i want to RMA it ASAP...
before this I tried an ASUS K8V, i could get into bios but the mobo didn't recognize the optical and hard drives.. the drives didn't power up at all if the IDE cables were attached...but when the cables were unplug and the drives was connected to the molex cable, the drives would work and spinned...quite weird, but it might be 12v power shortage... but just want to make sure if it is faulty PSU... but wont be getting it until tuesday/wednesday... meanwhile i want to RMA the mobo or processor if they're broken...
any help is greatly appreciated... thank you !

even with mobo and processor only... shouldn't the system just run ok ? i mean the fans will turned on, psu fan will works... my biggest suspicion is that the main power from PSU is not getting anything from the mobo and the other fans works because they were connected from 12v, if i plug a 80mm fan to the mobo, it doesn't work either...
with old power supply, i was able to make the system runs with only mobo and processor... they just lit up and works.. but nothing happens tho,just fancy fans and lights.. but at least the psu fans worked.. but then the psu overloaded, i changed with enermax and the PSU fan doesnt even worked if plugged into motherboard
when i tried to use a PSU tester, it was all great, fans working, green light, but when i plug PSU to the mobo, PSU fan doesn't turned on...
could it be when the old PSU overloaded, it fried the mobo too ?? if so , what about the processor ??

Change CPU only, not booting up. MSI KT8 Neo2 F
