E8400 Processor + P35 Neo Mainboard = Not Working.

PROBLEM:
Basically I have a MSI P35 Neo Mainboard and an E8400 3.0GhZ Core2Duo Processor.
I have the E0 model of the chip (SLB9J)
I have updated the BIOS to 1.8 (used the Flasher tool provided from this forum) as it is said to fix the compatability issues between the two components.
However, whenever I boot I get get stuck at a POST screen.. I think... not sure if its a POST screen but comes up every few times I power up the PC with the E8400 in it.
It says something like press Y to run BIOS settings or N for default settings.
I have tried both Y and N
Then it reads what's in the PC..
4096MB RAM
USB Keyboard....
and freezes.
However, I got this screen again when I reinstalled the Pentium D 820, and it recognised everything after I pressed Y (including USB components), and the PC booted up normally.
If anybody has had any similar problem and/or can offer any advice on what do do it would be much appreciated.
Apart from updating the BIOS version, I have also tried using a PS/2 keyboard instead of a USB.
PC Specs:
Processor: Intel Core™ 2 Duo E8400 3.0GHz, Socket LGA775, 6MB, 1333Mhz
Mainboard: MSI P35 NEO-FI, P35, Socket-775, DDR2, 1333FSB, ATX, GbLAN, Firewire, PCI-Ex16
Graphics Card: Gainward Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3, PCI-Express 2.0, 2xDVI/HDMI/HDCP

BIOS v1.8 does not support the E0-Stepping 45nm processors yet. You need to upgrade your BIOS to the latest Version for your board version (v1.10 [.ten] a.k.a A7360IMS.1A0). I will upload it for you in this post.

P35 Neo Mainboard Driver Disk Problem

Hi All,
I’m in the process of building my first PC and have a problem with the Windows XP Driver Disk that is supplied with the P35 Neo mainboard I am using. I have just installed windows xp without any problems. I am now trying to install the mainboard drivers. There seems to be a problem with the driver cd. My computer is unable to read the cd. I have also tried the cd in a friend’s pc without any success.
I would really appreciate it if someone were able to point me in the right direction for all of the drivers I will need to install. If you could list all of the drivers that I will need it would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Paul

Hello,
you don't need the CD to get a hold of all relevant drivers. You can download them here:

P35 Neo does not boot

Hi,
I have just bought a P35 neo F and a Code 2 Duo E6550 processor.
When I switch the power on, the cpu fan starts and stop and then start again which looks OK for this motherboard - My problem is that the system does not boot after this - I have tried different combinations (with or without memory, with or without hard drive, with or without graphic card, I have tried 2 different graphic cards, 2 different power supply... no result - Could someone help me ?
My config :
MB P35 Neo F
Proc Intel core 2 duo E6550
Power supply Enermax extreme power 500W
Graphic card Asus EN 8600 GTS
Thanks

I've tried a Kingston PC2 6400 CL5 - the system still do not boot up - I can see the keybord blinking at the beginning of the boot process but the screen noes not receive any signal - I get a bip after about 20 sec and another one again after 20 sec.
The processor or the mother board must be faulty...but how to know which ?
MSI P35 Neo2-FIR (bios v1.5)
Intel E2180
Tuniq Tower 120
2 x 1GB Ballistix PC2-8500
XFX GeForce 8600GT
Maxtor 80GB
Seagate 250 GB
Advance 550 watt PSU
I just finished building this rig, and had exactly the same "no boot" issue using Ballistix RAM. The board powered up, then it did the auto shutdown thing which is normal, and then it started up for real, the diagnostic LEDs on the mobo light up, the CPU fan spins, I get a single beep but then just a blank screen, no POST screen, can't enter the BIOS
I tried a minimal build outside the case using just the graphics card, monitor, keyboard, and a single stick of Ballistix RAM in four different slots, re-setting the CMOS at each attempt, But still no POST
I was advised the Ballistix may be the problem as they're rated at 2.2v and the MSI board sets 1.8v until you change the voltages in BIOS, so I ordered 2 sticks Kingston Value RAM 667MHz rated at 1.8v, Inserted a single stick then powered up, but still no POST, Inserted the second stick and the board fired up! I needed both sticks inserted to boot, glad I ordered 2 sticks of Kingston instead of one, I'm keeping them as a backup if the Ballistix fail. Inserted the Ballistix and they're running fine @ 1160 MHz CAS 5: 5: 5: 15: 2T 2.3v

DTS Neo PC Not Working!

Hi, I can't get DTS Neo Pc to work, i've tried the three console modes but it still don't work. it says it doesn't support the selected sampling rate (set to 24bit 48000 tried 6bit too)
i tried downloading the latest version of DTS connect pack from Creative but still the same.
I have the X-FI Titanium
using Dan-k Titanium installation disk
anyone else got this problem?
Edit: just installed the new console launcher beta and DTS connect has disappeared.

Uninstall old Creative apps as well as drivers. See page 19 in the user guide. Sort the programs and features list on "Publisher" to see all installed Creative apps. IIRC, the "What u Hear" slider, and associated balance sliders, control volume when the cinematic DDL or DTS encoder is selected but not when the PCM advanced feature is selected.

P35 Neo2-FR not working with G.Skill DIMMs

After searching the MSI and G.Skill tech forums, and not finding a solution to my issue. I decided to post my situation here. I have two P35 based motherboard that I was attempting to upgrade the memory to 4GB. Both are running with 2x1GB DIMMs each, one A-Data and the other OCZ. I bought a pair of 2GB DIMMs expecting to move the pair of 1GB to the other board and populate the empty board with the pair of 2GB. However, the Neo2 board/BIOS appear to have issues with the G.Skill memory.
The memory DDR2 800 (PC2 6400):
G.Skill 2 x 2GB - CAS Lat: 4 - Timing 4-4-4-12 - Volt: 1.8-1.9 - Model: F2-6400CL4D-4GBPI-B
A-Data 2 x 1GB - CAS Lat: 4 - Timing 4-4-4-12-2T - Volt: 2.0-2.1 - Model: ADQVD1A16K - EPP ready
OCZ 2 x 1GB - CAS Lat: 5 - Timing 5-5-5-15 - Volt: 1.8 - Model: ADQVD1A16K - 1.9V EVP
MSI P35 Neo2-FR Motherboard: BIOS 1.10; Q6600 and E6750; PS Antec 380 and Antec 550.
So I am on my 3rd pair (RMA) of G.Skill DIMMs. I believe I was able to boot off one of the DIMMs of the first pair. Adding the second DIMM in any remaining slot or booting solo with the other DIMM didn’t post. After returning that set, I haven’t found another G.Skill DIMM that will boot by itself or paired. I have tried most of these combination on both motherboards.
However, if I put either an A-Data or OCZ DIMM in an earlier channel/slot. The system posts, with either a single or pair of the G.Skills in the later slots. I assume that the BIOS is reading the first DIMM SPD and matching the settings to that. However, manually setting the SPD and Voltage will also allow the system to POST with the non-G.Skill DIMM in a earlier slot/channel. Using the manual settings with the G.Skill DIMMs doesn’t POST. And I have varied those settings across the normal spectrum. I can use a windows program to adjust the manual timing settings on a per channel/slot basis, but the system has to POST/Boot to get to that. By POST, I am referring to the Diagnostic LEDs The failing LED signature is described as “Memory Detection Test – Testing onboard memory size. The D-LED will hang if the memory module is damaged or not installed properly. “ Maybe I should borrow one of those PCI-Post cards.

Quote from: doasc on 22-April-09, 01:41:32
Any idea of what the BIOS does in it's first reset cycle after applying power? It seems that it's sensing the platform and then resets and tries to POST after that.
Found the "double boot" answer https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=117807.0 although the FAQ link in this thread doesn't work. Sounds like a link training sequence for the second PCI-E slot. I was hoping this was DIMM related, but I never observed any changes to BIOS settings after the initial boot.

K8N Neo Platinum not working

Hi guys,
I finally tired of my old PC and decided to go for a new AMD64+ system. I ordered these components:
A64 3000+
K8N Neo Platinum
2 x 512 MB Corsair XMS3200 2-3-3-6 RAM
I turn the finished PC on, the fans power on, the harddisks make noise and... nothing. The monitor doesn't recieve a signal. According to the DLED-bracket, it hangs on 'Resource Assignment' every time, just before the harddisks are started.
I have tried just about everything, even booting with only the videocard (both R9700 Pro and GeForce 3), still no dice.
I have tried running only one stick of RAM in the different slots, not a success.
I don't have any other CPU or RAM to test it with, so those options are out.
Another culprit is the PSU, but I have a new Mist (Factory modded Fortron / Source) 480 W PSU capable of 22 Amps at the 12V line, so that shouldn't be the problem. It works with good ratings in my old PC.
Any more ideas? It does look like I will be taking it back on Monday.

Stats are posted, but as I mentioned, even the barest possible setup with a RAM stick and videocard refuses to work. That's without keyboard, mouse and hard disk.
I'm not sure what I can add to that other than saying I can't even get into the BIOS since I get no video.
I forgot one thing: The PC speaker beeps once for about a second. Slightly longer than my old PC did, but not long enough for me to really think about it. Definitely nothing compared to the crescendo I got once when I forgot the extral power to the R9700

I have since RMAd the board and ordered (additionally) an ASUS K8N-E Deluxe which will be here Monday; I ordered Friday from NewEgg and a check of Fedex indicates that the ASUS package is already at the local dock. My sense from these forums is that the NEO has too many issues to ever satisfy me as an owner, including the ones I have personally experienced and the ones I have only read about. Thus, I'm trying the ASUS. If all goes well with the ASUS, I'll have an extra, brand-new in the box MSI K8N Neo.
See here for some descriptions of my MSI Neo "cold-boot" problem:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threa...htuser=0&page=1
You may find additional info by searching on my forum psuedonym.
As far as a fix, I just kept wrestling with it till it would finally boot (off/on, disconnecting / reconnecting leads, etc .... nothing ever consistantly did the trick) but I always manged sooner or later to get a boot. Pressing and holding the DEL key or quickly tapping the DEL key as the PC was powered-on seemed to have some connection with success, but only after many failures of the same thing. As I said, very inconsistant. A warm boot, once the PC was running, usually went fine, barring any other unrelated issues.
By the way, my D-Bracket error code always hung at one green LED, lower left in the 4 LED array, which I think indicates initialization of the keyboard controller. Whether this was the cause (keyboard controller) or it just happened to be the point in time where some other problem arose which prevented boot is hard to determine.
Damn, that's a bad experience. I haven't tried banging keys around, perhaps I should try that.
I had a chat with another guy who had a problem akin to this. In his case, the BIOS was borked. I'm really not sure if I'm going to ask for a new Neo board or go for the Gigabyte one instead if I can't fix it.
Funny how I never had any trouble with Via boards before while nForce3 is a general bad experience for me

Neo Speech not working

I have just installed Adobe Captivate 8 on my PC (64 bit) I also have installed the Neo Speech program. I can see all the 'characters' in the folder so I know they have downloaded and installed on my PC. However when I go to convert text to speech it states that I have not downloaded Neo-speech and I only have 'Anna' has an option. Is there something else that I can do

Reset your preferences and (if required) reinstall NeoSpeech. Check out point no. 8 on Rod's blog post on how to reset here:

Neo speach not working in Captivate 4

I have both Captivate 4 and Captivate 5 installed on my computer. Even though I downloaded and installed the neospeach voices for Captivate 4, I can't get them to work. When I try to convert a slide note to speech by clicking the convert button in the slide notes area, I get a message that it needs to be downloaded (again). Can anyone help me with this?

Hi there
As I recall, the version 4 speech was cumbersome and not intuitive. You were forced to download and install. You thought you were finished at that point but in reality you simply made the true installer available. You then had to run the true installer to get the voices installed. Then you had to restart Captivate.
Apologies if you have already done all those steps. If so, perhaps there is a bug in there. If not, maybe the reminder helps?
Cheers... Rick

BUG: Oracle Schema Processor does not work in Servlets

We found a bug with Oracle's Schema Processor. It does not work in Servlets.
When we try to validate a XML document in a Servlet it does not work, but we can execute the same code in a stand alone application and it works.
The following is the code we are using:
try {
File f =new File(filename);
FileReader r = new FileReader(f);
DOMParser dp = new DOMParser();
URL url = createURL (filename);
dp.setValidationMode(false);
dp.setSchemaValidationMode(true);
dp.setPreserveWhitespace(true);
dp.parse(url);
System.out.println("it is parsed");
} catch(Exception e){System.out.println("there is Error"+e.getMessage());}
null

I don't think this is related to Servlets per se.
Check that the Schema processor classes used by the servlet container, and your application are the same.
Java does not have proper versioning of classes, I have seen many applications collapse. People compiled their code on developer machines, where it worked fine, but when moved to a production machine they failed because the production machine had a different version of classes. Usually the name of the class doesn't change, but either a method or a variable is missing in several classes. VM doesn't complain but simply crashes.
In your Schema Processor classes that are used by the servlet engine might be different from the one that the app uses. Do a search on the file system to see how many copy of the same class bundle (zip, jar) you have on the system.

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.

Ordered a P35 Neo, where do I get the SATA drivers?

Hi
I ordered a computer with a MSI P35 Neo mainboard yesterday. It is going to be assembled by the company that I bought it from, so I was going to download the SATA drivers and put them on a floppy, since I'm not sure if the company that assembles the computer will send me the floppy with the drivers on it. However, when I looked at the driver page for the P35 Neo, http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=1215 , there are no SATA drivers. Does this mean that I don't need any SATA drivers for Windows XP or Vista, or do I have to get them elsewhere?

you are correct, you don't need SATA drivers. they are fully supported in XP/Vista.
The only time you'll need drivers is if you create a RAID setup. but single drive setups are good to go.

Is MSI P35 Neo compatible with new USB3 PCI-E adapters?

I've just bought a 1 Tb Samsung USB3 powered external HDD. Currently I only have USB2 ports which can't handle the transfer speed of USB3. Is my MSI P35 Neo mainboard compatible with new USB3 PCI-E adapters, if I were to fit one?
Thanks in advance
Pedro

If it is an add-on card, it should work if the drivers are properly installed.
However, if you need more information on compatibility results, I suggest that you log a technical support ticket with MSI.

P35 Neo, no sound

Hey,
I'm using P35 Neo mainboard and got into a frustrating issue yesterday.
So yesterday I unplugged everything from the back of the computer (USB, power cable, headphones etc) and when I plugged it back in and started the computer again, I had no sound. At first I just thought I had put the cables into the wrong jack (which I had but irrelevant xD). I'm newbi when it comes to stuff like this but I tried all the jacks eventually and none of them worked. Skype said that it couldn't find my sound card. I once had the problem before when I had a friend helping me, we dealt with it for about an hour uninstalling/installing drivers back and forth and finally got it to work. However yesterday I wasn't as lucky. I fought with this problem for more than 6 hours unable to fix the issue.
I got the right drivers and skype now says that everything works fine. The volume mixer shows that sound is playing but no sound comes from either my speakers or headphones. I have plugged it in the right jacks, even tried to jacks that aren't right and still didn't work.
I've tried to reinstall Realtek HD audio thingy. I've tried to reinstall my mainboard drivers. I've tried to uninstall all sound devices under Sound, video and game controllers and let it auto install it on restart. I've done all these things at least 10 times each.
I don't know if this is a common thing or if I'm just stupid enough to realize the problem. I really hope I can find some help here. If you need more information regarding my gear, just ask.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I rebooted my computer once more and suddenly it just started to work again. Don't know why but I'm happy =D

you most probably need to have the Microsoft HDA Bus Driver installed in the first place before you can install the realtek driver.
but... I can't find the link to show you where you can download this driver. At the mean time, do you mind to try google for it first, while I'm doing the same thing here...
good luck

Media Center Pc not working

Hi ,
My media center pc hp model "m7552.de" not working not boot screen but only case, cpu, graphics card and fans working not doing beep signal ;
+ i'm tested another power supply on orginal (hp) mainboard (not working).
+ i'm tested another ram on orginal (hp) mainboard (not working).
+ i'm tested another pci express graphic cart not runing on orginal (hp) mainboard (not working).
+ I'm tested amd 4200 cpu on another board runing without problems .
- i cannot tested another on board ram's and tv cart .
i thing problem on mainboard ?
Which model mainboard should I buy to work with this model ?
i have Windows Xp Media Center Edition 2005 HP license key (On PC) ,
After changing the motherboard I do not want to get a new operation system license, for that is the suggestion?
www.limonforum.com

Where support ?
www.limonforum.com

I'd like help choosing an MSI mainboard(not so sure after seeing many problems)

Well now I'm really confused.
I have a couple of friends who are big MSI fans and they're making different recommendations.
One says P965 Platinum and the other says P6N SLI Platinum, and when I go online to check them out, I find a couple of other MSI choices that look good too.
So here’s what I have in mind for use.
•   I’m not a game player, and I won’t overclock much, if at all. but I do want to use Vegas Video and Adobe After Effects, and other video processing software.
•   I also want to use MS Office for Access database, Excel, etc.
•   Also some large Photoshop files.
As far as the configuration I plan to use:
•   4GB DDR2 6400
•   e6600 cpu
•   I will run XP, but probably move to Vista, on SP1 or maybe SP2
•   I’m thinking of getting a single Radeon x1950 pro (don’t think I’ll ever need a second graphics card)
•   I may get a caviar 10,000 for drive C: system and programs and already have 4 – 300 GB SATAII for RAID 5
•   I need at least one 1394, but 2 would be handy.
•   I need at least one gigabit Ethernet, but a second would be handy too (I have network storage)
I’m fairly knowledgeable on setting up computers, but hate messing too much with the BIOS, if I don’t have to.
Did I forget anything?
I’m looking for something very stable and quite fast, but doesn’t have to be gaming fast.
So my question is – which of the above boards is better suited for my needs and why?
Or is there a better MSI for my purposes – and why?
Thanks to anyone who take the time to respond
scv Bruce

If you're not into overclocking you could save a bit and go for a P35-neo in stead of platinum.
P35 Neo does not support RAID. The P35 Neo 2 Combo and P35 Platinum does. P35 platinum is out as it only supplies 4 SATA II ports on the Intel ICH9R. (The other 2 SATA ports are used for eSATA) The P35 Neo Combo specs indicate 4/6 SATA II ports. (On the combo according to the manual it can have an ICH9 and have 4 SATA ports or come with the ICH9R and come with six SATA Ports and supports RAID) Both have one SATA II port on the marvell controller he could use for the non raid drive but not sure about it's performance. Maybe some P35 board owners could chip in on that question. The all seem to have on ethernet port. They all seem to have two 1394 ports. One built in and one available if you case has a 1394 connector. For 4 Gig of RAM you will need a 64bit OS or you will only see about 3.2-3.3 gig of it on a 32 bit OS.
The P35 Neo Combo with an ICH9R may be your best choice. If you want a 2nd LAN port you will have to add it.
A bit pricey bit the ASUS P5k WS and P5K Deluxe meet all of your requirements provided your case has a 1394 port to connect to the on board 1394 header for the 2nd port.
