GBLAN failure on MSI PT880 NEO-FSR

On a newly built system using the MSI PT880 NEO-FSR I am experiencing intermittent and frequent disconnects from my LAN.  I have tested with both Win2000 and WinXP.  When the system boots, I generrally get an IP address and gateway address.  If I start a continuous ping on another host, after a short while I start receiving "Hardware Error"messages, and Destination host unreachable.  Ny IP in most cases is still good, however sometimes it reverts to autonet.  If I do ping successfully for a while and start IE, it fails immediately.  I have the link with another system, and it works fine...Any ideas?
Thanks, Gary

I have removed components from the system to simplify troubleshooting...the current configuration (still fails) is as follows:
Power Supply  - PC Power & Cooling Turbo Cool 300
Processor-Intel Pentium4 Socket478 3.20 GHz 800MHz System Bus 512kb L2 Cache BX80532PG3200D HyperThread

  • PT880 Neo-FSR not booting from SATA device

    Hi everybody!
    MSI PT880 Neo-FSR http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=608
    As read on the topic subject, I'm having trouble trying to boot up using my new SATA DVD-RW. This device works perfect while running Windows XP on my PC, but when I try to boot from it, I simply can't.
    My PT880 Neo-FSR mobo is running the latest avalaible BIOS version (2.0) and Internal SATA controller and SATA boot ROM function are enabled. Looking inside the booting options, I just can't set my SATA DVD-RW as a valid device for booting up (I only see my IDE HDDs, FDD and LAN as booting options).
    This is my first time triying to boot up from this SATA device and the first time I realized that I can actually use it for anything but booting, which is so weird! I even tried installing this device on my brother's PC and booted up succesfully there, so my mobo is the problem here.
    If you're asking yourselves how I installed Win XP on this PC with no CD/DVD booting: My former IDE DVD-RW is now my sister's, so I kept previously instalation and just changed devices.
    I need to run some utlities from a boot-CD and re-install Windows on this PC real soon, so I'd appreciate some help.
    P.S. I tried to do my best with my 'rusty' English, so I hope you could fully understad what I've written above.

    Are you saying it does work but you simply can't boot from it? Have you tried by using the F11 boot menu?
    Yes! This device has been working great, but the only problem I get is when I try to use it for booting.
    I alredy tried using the F11 boot menu and nothing happened... It's so weird!

  • MSI-7043 (PT880 NEO-FSR) Boot Problem

    I just installed this motherboard which I purchased on eBay from someone who swears it was working fine before.
    I installed it in the following configuration:
    MSI-7043 PT880 NEO-FSR Motherboard (Rev. 2.0) with BIOS version 2.0
    RaidMax Scorpio case with a 520-Watt RaidMax Power Supply (its older, but digital P/S tester says everything is OK)
    2x1Gig SuperTalent DDR400 RAM <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
    Intel P4 2.4Ghz Prescott CPU (FSB533) <- Was working fine in Compaq PC
    ThermalTake TR2-M12 CPU cooler <- New
    LG DVD-RW Lightscribe 22x IDE Drive <- New 2 weeks ago, was working fine in Compaq PC
    Seagate 320 Gig IDE Drive <- 2 Monthes old, was working fine in Compaq PC
    (Drive is partitioned 1-250Gig Bootable & 1-70Gig)
    Chaintech Nvidia FX5200 AGP Video Card <- Worked fine in Compaq PC
    High quality round 80-pin IDE cables
    No SATA drives installed at all
    The system POST's fine and recognizes all installed drives, but only occasionally will boot to CD-ROM, and will never boot to hard disk, just sits there with a flashing cursor. When it did boot into CD-ROM, I was able to boot Linux and browse hard drive fine. Booted once into MEMTEST and it ran for hours fine with no errors.
    I have tried defaulting BIOS several times, tried several configurations for boot sequence and using F11 Boot Menu. No matter what I do, booting from CD is hit and miss (1 out of 4 times will boot) and it will NEVER boot from the hard drive.
    Interesting thing is if I disconnect the hard disk, it will boot to the CD-ROM EVERY time (sort of), but I do have to wait until it says no boot record found on CD or floppy, then press ENTER to try again it boots
    After searching for through other posts, I have tried increasing the DDR RAM voltage to 2.6v with no change.
    Any ideas??? is there a BIOS limitation to the boot partition size of the hard drive, if so why would this affect booting to the CD?

    Ummm... never had that trouble before... It should at least start booting, or at least recognize the boot sector has a valid boot record.
    Those are all valid ideas, and I appreciate the input.
    BTW, I am not a newbie. I am a telecom, network, and computer technician with almost 20 years of experience. This is just the first time I have had a problem with MSI boards, I use them all the time and they generally work flawlessly. I understand operating system licensing, OEM versions, 32 vs 64 bit, and how to copy files from one drive to another using multiple different ways. I was just hoping that there was something simple going on that I was missing that someone would just say "Yeah, turn XXXXX feature off in the BIOS".
    I put an older 48x CD-ROM drive and a Western Digital 40 Gig in it and it worked beautifully, in the middle of installing Kubuntu Linux right now.
    I actually resized the boot partition down to 130 Gig with Linux Parted Magic and it booted OK.
    I think I actually had two problems with the previous setup:
    1) Boot partition was too large for the BIOS, the entire partition should not exceed the 134 Gig boundry (different sites say anything from 130-138 Gig) for the BIOS on the motherboard according to some articles I googled.
    2) The LG DVD-RAM drive was just too slow spinning up for the bios to recognize the boot partition on the CD or DVD.
    I resized the partition back up to 250 Gig and put the DVD-RAM, Hard Disk, Processor, RAM, and video card back into the Compaq, it is a fast (by standards of the day) and stable machine, I was just looking for a way to add some expansion capabilities for more PCI cards and possibly a SATA drive. Anyway put a 2.0 Ghz Celeron, 768 Meg of DDR266 RAM, a CD-RW drive, and a Matrox G450 Dual-Head 32 Meg AGP card I had laying around in place of of the old and will just delegate this to a Linux box.
    So far all seems fine, think I will just hold off putting too much into this machine since I was planning on building a new one this summer after USB 3.0 came out.
    Thanks.

  • PT880 NEO FSR and Audigy 2 ZS

    Has anyone with this motherboard been able to get this card working without constant and annoying crackling/stuttering during gameplay? I've tried everything mentioned on the Creative forums to resolve the issues I'm having, but nothing has worked. I'm starting to think it's the motherboard chipset.

    He's running the card with no problems with a weaker PSU than I have. The only difference is he's running BIOS version 1.9 and I can't get anyting other than 1.6 to run stable on my computer. When he originally replied that he was having no problems with the card, he was also running BIOS 1.6.

  • [VIA Series] PT880 Neo-FSR...SOOOO ANGRY!

    Hi all,
         I bought my PT880 Neo-FSR around late January/early February and until recently I hadn't been doing anything too memory intensive. Recently I bought World of Warcraft and have had many crashes. First it was tolerable, then when it got really bad i thought it was Blizzard's fault. I checked their boards and went throught their steps to rectify. One of which was the memtest86.
         I ran the memtest and found that my Corsair was bad, both sticks! So i tried some Kingston. All of it also bad. 7 sticks of memory. I thought, "There's no way that could be right." So I ran memtest on another computer, a cheapie eMachine. Every piece of memory i had was A-ok. I thought i'd get a third PC involved for a final say. I ran the memtest again (mulitple passes each time mind you) and again no errors.
         I came here to see if anyone else had a similar problem, and yeah. But no solution for me. This is pretty much my hail-mary. I'd really like help from someone more knowledgeable than myself. I really do not want to buy a new mobo, but WoW is a subscription game...i'd really like to play it as well as edit video, or record stuff with my video card.
         If you have any solutions for me PLEASE, I really need help. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    ConeJodc, it's not your memory.  Some will tell you it's your pwr supply, some will tell you to change your ddr voltage... it's none of that.  This mobo is crap in my opinion because it's got the VIA name on it.  Everything I've ever owned that had a VIA chipset eventually blew up (usually it was crap to begin with).
    See my latest update in my post regarding this motherboard.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=79880.0
    The same memory that tested bad in my PT880 Neo-FSR runs perfectly fine in my new 865PE Neo2.
    Return it if you can and get the intel based 478 board.
    VIA =

  • MSI K8T8 Neo FSR/FS2R??????

    What is the difference off the  MSI K8T8 NEO FSR besides the MSI K8T8 NEO FS2R????
    please help!!

    The 2 models listed by MSI are FSR and FIS2R.
    If MSI says "FSR" then I'm sure it's got RAID.
    The only logical differences are that FIS2R will have 2 RAID controllers (VIA + Promise - FSR will only have VIA) and Firewire (the "I").
    As to which one is "better" the answer has to be neither. They have different spec therefore the one which is better is the one which has what you want. If you don't  need 2 RAID controllers & IEEE1394 then FSR is better. If you need Firewire then FSR is no good for you.
    Edit: Here you go.

  • MSI K8T NEO FSR with AMD 64 3200 - Can´t install WIN XP

    Hi.
    I´m writing you because i have a problem with an MSI K8t-Neo FSR.
    The description of my PC:
    MSI K8t-Neo FSR
    AMD 64bits 3200 (640 cache)
    HD 160 SATA Seagate Barracuda
    1gb DDR 400mhz
    Floppy 3 1/2
    CDRW 52x32x52 LG
    Video ATI RADEON 9600 XT
    The problem is the following:
    When I try to install Windows XP, when I press F8 to accept the Terms, it shows me an error message (IO 104 i think) and it hangs up or reboot.
    I tried with another two Proccessors and motherboards (same model obviously) but it didn´t work.
    Could it be a defectuous production serie of that model????
    Or what do you think the problem is????
    Thank you very much for your help.
    I´ll be waiting for your answer!
    Lucas Revale
    PF: I´ve already tried updating the BIOS.

    Thank you all for trying to help me!!!
    I've already tried using only te necesary drivers.
    I´ve also tried another VGA, another HD, another CDRW, another power supply, and an AMD 64 2800+.
    It seems to be that the three motherboards i tried were defectous.
    Does anyone has any other idea?!?!?
    I´d really aprecciate your help!

  • MSI K8N NEO-FSR BIOS Flash Corrupt

    So there was an updated BIOS for my motherboard version 1.8 while I had 1.7. I went ahead and updated and it went fine. But then I noticed that my CPU speed was dramatically reduced and the multiplier was set to 5.0 giving me a 1ghz CPU. While I thought maybe the CMOS needed to be cleared I went ahead and did that but to no avail I wasnt able to fix that problem. I went over to the MSI Live Update to check for a new BIOS update and it had said that I had 1.8 version while the current version is 1.7. Just a few days before it said 1.8 was the latest. Hmmm. So I went off to the MSI website to find version 1.7 and downloaded it. To my surprise version 1.8 was available on the MSI website. I used the WinFlash program to flash my BIOS. Before doing so I closed all open applications including anti-virus, browsers, chatting programs, and so forth. But the flash was going VERY slow and it stopped with unable to verify bios. This made me scared pooless. After I restarted to no surprise my computer started up with BIOS Checksum error and asked for a floppy. I didn't have a floppy drive connected at the time but the computer shut itself off automatically. So I went and connected and floppy and looked up online at the MSI website about how to recover the BIOS. I found it and for my AWARD bios i followed the procedure. But each time it detects the floppy drive and then the computer shuts itself off. Even if i have no disc inside the floppy drive it'll shut off. Is it supposed to do this? I am unable to reflash my BIOS because of this behavior. I don't know what the cause of this problem is now. Did maybe the recovery portion of the BIOS get corrupted too? Please help. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks in advanced. My specs are below btw:
    MSI K8N NEO FSR
    AWARD REV. 1.8
    AMD ATHLON 3200+ 754
    PDP 2x512MB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra
    Ultra-X 500watt
    WD 160GB IDE, Seagate 200GB IDE
    Pioneer D-A07
    Windows XP SP2, Gentoo Linux, Ubuntu Linux

    Okay I tried taking unnecessary stuff out but it didn't help. I'm actually having the same problem this guy is having : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=86508.0
    Hmm looks like i might be in for a new motherboard or i can try the RMA process but I dont know how long that will take. Other than that...I dont know what to do. I could buy myself a new bios flash chip but they're damn expensive and I'd rather just buy a new motherboard. On another note I noticed that when I boot up the pc and i see that it detects the floppy I immediately pressed the reset button but it'll still shut down. So it's as if there is a timer somewhere. What the hell is up with this? It also seems MSI didn't release bad BIOS releases for my board only. Seems like people with other boards are having tons of problems with the latest BIOS releases.

  • [ram]Kingston + MSI K8N Neo-FSR?

    I just bought the Kingston ValueR. PC3200 DDR-DIMM 1024MB Kit w/two matched ValueRAM 512MB.
    When I boot up the pc just makes a sound piip piip piiip continuing....
    I can't do anything since it wont boot up & i tried diffrent dimm slots but it didn't work :(
    Earlier i've set the settings to t1 & the volt to 2.56 from before. Does this has something to do with it ? How can I reset the bios if I can't even get in dos :s
    What should I do ?

    Reset the cmos using the Jumper, is you have a manual it will show you where this is located. It will set the Bios back to Default,then you have to set it up the way you want it again. To get the RAM working set it to DDR333=166, that should sort out the No Post.
    Your going to be out of luck here as the 'support' is basicaly non-existent, or just replies from people trying to get their post count up higher,  I'm afraid to say.
    Good luck.

  • [Athlon64] MSI K8T Neo FSR / Early Chipset Initialization

    Hi There,
    My MSI K8N Neo Platinum has a broken LAN interface, i don't have the papers of it so I can't send it for RMA. So i bought a MSI K8T Neo FSR.
    But there is a problem, when i power up the system, the fans are spinning, the hard disk spins up and the CDRW/DVDROM drives are working. The only thing the system does is hanging at the "Early Chipset Initialization" state accoding to the D-Bracket.
    - Tried an other VGA Card > No result (Radeon 9200, Club3D)
    - Bought other memory (I do have 1GB now , but still no result)
    - Tried resetting the BIOS > No result
    - Tried removing the RAM, the system beeps there's no RAM in the system, but when i put it back in the system wouldn't boot again.
    - Tried to boot up only with R9200, CPU and RAM, and still it won't work.
    - Tried to boot outside the case, but still no result.
    I tried my processor, memory, PSU and vga card (6800LE) back in my K8N system and it works great, so i don't think my PSU is too weak.
    And I aint thinking that my motherboard is broke, it still beeps without memory in it.
    I am getting really confused, i'm out of money now so i can't buy some new stuff.
    Anyone ideas?
    Specs in signature. (PSU 18A @ 12V), sorry for my bad english. 

    Quote from: fafner on 03-May-05, 20:55:16
    Why don't you get a PCI network card for the K8N system?  No need to fuss around with a new mb just to get a LAN connection.
    Don't want to use PCI-Cards
    Quote
    Have you tried removing the RAM and then doing a Bios reset? Sometimes things get sticky if the RAM is still in place during a Bios reset.
    I would also unplug anything that is not entirely needed to boot so you can simplify the problem.
    Another hint. As the RAM controller is inside the CPU the system will not do anything right without RAM. The CPU will imediately hang.
    Just tried a BIOS reset without RAM in the system, the system won't boot. Only the CPU, VGA card and the memory is placed. Only the 4pin 12v and the 20 pin is connected.
    It just won't work, maybe the board is dead?

    you keep memory freq. in range by setup mem. index. e.g. for CPU HTT 250 with mem. index of 166, will produce memory freq. 200Mhz.

  • Ms-7030 msi k8n neo fsr wont start

    i made my system a follows.
    amd 2800+ 64
    msi k8n neo fsr
    kingston 400mhz ddr value ram
    6600gt inno3d agp
    wd800 80gb hardrive
    300 watts psu
    brought the system home everything was working fine except for continous stuttering on hl2. also wid it came a smart cobra lite 56k modem from zoltrix, which was installed while makign the system, the modem had been deteced but when i tried to connect to the net, the status of the modem was found to be not connected, i removed the modem, restarted by switching the pci slots and everything but to no avail, put in an older zoltrix modem from my old pc, to no avail the modem just wudnt get recognized. the same modem though worked in my older p3 system. i took the systm to the place where they assembled it.as the system booted the modem got deteced, got winxpsp2 installed wid a fresh install. everything worked fine for a day untilt eh modem once again went back into death mode.took it back to the hardware shop i remember they were using an older keyboard on it too, well as they pressd the power button, the cpu fan and the gfx card fan moved a second and then stopped no booting
    they replaced mobo then and there. even the same problem occured wid the new mobo, i left the system there to be tested but the thing i dont understand is they had assembled an tested the system by using the old keyboard and even then there was no problem. this time the system was working but as it reached the assemblers the cpu and gfxs card fan moved a sec as if power was fed for a second and dided changed psu's on one try on dry boot that is widout hd connected. the fans continously worked we removed power put into chasis and tried again to start but to no avail.
    cud it really be the keyboard problem if that is solved then the problem left to deal wid is the modem wud the pci slots act the same way even on the newer board or chaning modems wud do any good, changed rams also that wudnt help booting either.
    in both of the new mobos i didnt get the msi sticker that adds to my frustration.
    posted this on another forum too, tha guy was havng problem using an older keyboard.

    its really nice of u guys to reply so quickly its really appreciated. the thing is if the psu wasnt upto the job it wud have given away 3 days ago. but it didnt other psu tried also same problem. after a couple of hours ill be off to the hardware shop to see wat came out. the ram was reseated properly on all 3 slots.
    plus the 300watts psu may not even be 300 cuz its locally made and stupid quality maybe lower to around 250, but the system worked fine all along, checked rail supplies on the mobo mopnitor and they seemed fine.will keep u guys updated.

    you have a few choices...
    But before anything, the BKM of this forum, read the  Moan Guide.
    OK, here's your choices:
    1. run  Memtest86 check  if your RAM is faulty.
    2. RMA the board.
