Reboot problem with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and 250 GB SATA HDD

I'm having a "reboot" problem with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. After turning my system on it will run without any problems, until I reboot. After a reboot it will always hang after the initial windows-bootscreen. The HDD-light will remain on. If, instead of going into Windows XP SP2, I try to enter the BIOS after a reboot (DEL) the system will also hang (blank screen with blinking cursor).
It started doing this after I installed the Maxtor 250 GB SATA disk. Before, I didn't have problems rebooting. If I disconnect the Maxtor drive I can reboot and enter BIOS and Windows each and every time. Reconnecting the Maxtor 250 GB SATA drive will return the reboot problem. I always have to use the power swith to get a working system again. It's not enough to do a hard reset (this has the same effect as rebooting).
Here are the details of my system:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS 1.B)
Athlon 64 3200+ (Winchester, 2 Ghz, 512 KB cache, stepping DH-D0)
2 x Kingston KVR400X64C25/512, 512 MB, DDR, PC3200 (2,5-3-3-8 T1)
Asus Radeon AX800 Pro (256 MB)
PSU Antec Sonata 380W
HDD Maxtor 80Gb ATA (6Y080P0, Pri Master)
HDD Seagate 250Gb SATA (ST3200822AS)
HDD Maxtor 250Gb SATA (6V250F0 - jumpered in SATA150 mode, the mobo wouldn't work with the drive in SATA300-mode)
Aopen COM5232/AAH Pro CD-Writer ATA (Sec Master)
BenQ DW1640 DVD-Writer ATA (Sec Slave)
P.S. The NVidia IDE-drivers are NOT installed. System is not overclocked.

Thank you for all the replies. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia IDE-drivers did not fix my problem. Moving to other SATA-ports did not help either. Upgrading the mobo's BIOS is not really an option (I'm using one version before the most recent and there isn't anything in the fixlist of the latest BIOS).
Now I've contacted Maxtor for (hopefully) a new firmware.

News - BIG PROBLEM - MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum - DOES NOT POWER!!!

Hi to everyone.
I'm a proudly owner of a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum that in one year gave me no problem until yesterday morning.
I used the computer in the night before and when I finished I turned it off and I went to bed.
Yesterday morning I found the power led blinking (like if the system was in standby), and there was no way to turn the PC on.
I even took off the battery for more than 12 hours and I left only minimal components installed:
the video card (Gainward GeForce 6800),
the psu (Antec TruePower 550W),
1 x 512 MB Ram Crucial Ballistix,
and I checked them into another computer and they work perfectly.
I tried shorting the MB power switch pins with a screwdriver and I've even tried to power on the system without the Memory or the Video Card... I've tried everything that came across my mind with no efforts!!!!
Every time I give power to the MB appens only that the power led starts blinking, but pressing the button the PC doesn't turn on.
PLEASE HELP ME... I really don't know what else to do!!!
Thanks,
Alberto

Hi thanks for the answers.
I do have a D-Bracket, but my problem is not that the system does not boot or does not post... my system DOES NOT POWER ON (!!!!), so d-bracket is useless!
When I plug the system power the only thing that happens is that the power led starts blinking (with the system still in soft-off), and if I press the power switch button nothing happens!
I've the bios for 7025 v1.8 and the settings where for OFF on power-loss ond pressing the button (can't rememeber if it was more than 4 sec) was meant to turn off the computer, but considering that I un-powered the pc more than once without the MB battery the settings should be factory default by now.
I went through the Windows-XP shut-down system, and i could not be an electrical problem as I always used the PC with a pretty good UPS unit.
Right now these are the full specs of my sytem:
- MB MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3 Ultra
- GAINWARD 6800 2600 GLH 256 MB Ram
- PSU Antec TruPower 550 W
- CPU AMD64 3500+ core Winchester @11*210 Mhz (this cpu has never overclocked very well)
- HEATSINK Thermalright XP-90 with a 12 Cm Enermax Fan (CPU temp in always below 55 °C when stressed)
- 1 x 512 Mb RAM Crucial Ballistix DDR400 optimized for MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
I left only these things inside my computer in the hope that it would turn on... it did not work. I tested each component but the MB, and they work perfectly.
Again...
Thanks for you efforts, any help will be appreciated.
Alberto.
All parts have been tested: CPU/RAM/GFX/PSU/HD/DVD, just not the MOBO ?
Checked if the MOBO is shorting in the case ?
Have you tried using the reset switch as power, on/off switch ? I've seen before when the power switch stops working (lose/bad wire busted spring) after swapping reset to power, then the system turned on. Worth a try, as sending it back to USA won't be cheap. If its over 1 year old it mite not be covered by the re-seller and or MSI. Best to check this out as law and warranty is different from country to country.
Good Luck

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and Venice E6

Hi!
I have just bought an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard and an AMD Athlon64 3000+ processor with Venice E6 core (ADA3000DAA4BW).
Will this mobo boot with that processor? Or do i have to use a Winchester to flash the BIOS first? Personal experiences would be helpful!
Andres.

Your new board probably came with the 1.9 bios. The new 7025v1B.zip bios (1B only a couple days old) I think is for some of the new X2 AMD Processors. The MSI link to Products/Mainboards/Neo2/Processor Compatibility is now setup to use the 7025v1B.zip bios. As I recall the previous Processor Compatibility Chart for 1.9 bios was OK for all the Venice cores (E6 or not). I think it is only some of the latest E6 bigger models are affected by the latest 1B bios. Maybe someone has the older 1.9 bios Processor Compatibility Chart.
You shouldn't need to use a Winchester, some X2 processors would be recognized as earlier X1 models until the newer bios was installed. I think you should be OK with the 1.9 bios. I have the San Diego 4000+ and my board, one month old, came with the 1.9 bios installed.

These ATI cards 9500 Pro and 9700 Pro ok for MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and winchester cpu? Compatible?

Looking at grabbing a used ATI 9500 Pro or used 9700 Pro AGP card for my MSI Neo2 Plat since I can't use my Matrox G400.
Any problems using either of the above cards? I don't play a huge amount of 3D games so I'm not going to grab a 9800 Pro or XT or 6600GT. A 9500 or 9700 Pro would allow me to play the newer games at reasonable resolutions. Just want to make sure they are compatible.
thanx

Ok guys, thanx for the feedback. I missed the 9500 Pro sale, so maybe its for the better. If I'm going to try a bit of 3D gaming, I may aswell get a little bit better card. So here is my question for you folks:
For my MSI K8N Neo2 and AMD64 3000+ system, I want a card that will have good 2D output and good DVD playback. I want to try some 3D games, but don't want to have the minimum. I was looking at used 9500 Pro's and the 9600 XT but I've come across a used 9700 Pro and a 9800 Pro and 9800 Pro with r360 core (almost a 9800XT). So if I get a 9700 Pro, what will I be able to play smoothly at what settings and what will I be unable to play. Ultimately, I may play mostly on my projector at 858 x 484, so maybe the cards don't matter too much. If I don't play 3D games much after a while, I'll probably downgrade, but I want to give it a try. I can't afford a new 9800 Pro/XT or 6600GT.
Used cards I'm deciding between. Have to act fast.
9700 Pro $170 CAD or 9800Pro $210 CAD or 9800 with r360 core $230. Price differences between the cards is as you see there.
thanx in advance for any feedback,

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum AND SATA2

i have MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard with 3500+ cpu and WD 160 hard sata disk.
I 'd like to ask if my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard support sata2 hard disk drives, in order to know which HD to connect as a second HD drive, SATA or SATA 2 ??

It'll see SATA2 as regular SATA. You won't loose any speed either. There are no hard drives that actually benefit from SATA2 spec speeds. Well, maybe in isolated near theoretical benchmark cases one current model might be faster in SATA2 mode.
We just haven't got the technology yet.

Msi k8n neo2 platinum and corsair cmx512-3200LL

is anyone using the corsair cmx512-3200LL with the msi k8n neo2 platinum or any other motherboards? if so how well does that memory overclock for you?

LL used winbond CH-5 or BH-5 or Infineon B-5 depending on revision .
And everybody knows that it's hard to overclock winbond very far without excessive vdimm increase (2.9v - 3.4v).
Corsair XL use samsung TCCD and overclocks much easier when having a motherboard with a vdimm limit at 2.85v.
xms 4xxx also use samsung (TCCC or TCCD) and some versions use hynix D43/D5
so you can't directly compare xms3200LL with the others .
You can query RamGuy about the chips used on the spesific modules here :

MSI K8n Neo2 platinum and drivers chipset, 5.03 or 5.10?

Hello,
J reinstalled my K8n neo2 with XP SP2, A64X2 4200+, XFX 7600GT ....
On MSI website there is 5.03 drivers for this motherboard. There is no 5.03 on nVidia website drivers archive?
On nVidia website there are 5.10 and 5.11 drivers. j look here that 5.11 is not very stable.
So, what is the best: 5.03 or 5.10?
Excuse j write not very good english!
Thank.

The 5.10 works fine - 5.11 has cause network problems for most people. There are better (V4.79) IDE/SATA/RAID drivers available if you want to do your own mix: DL the 6.37 Beta from here http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=971 and replace the IDE subfolder in the C:\NVIDIA folder from unpacking the 5.10 nVidia driver pack with the IDE folder from the 6.37 Beta, then run the Setup.Exe in the 5.10 subfolder. 6.37 Beta was nVidia's early attempt at a unified nForce3/4 driver pack but they gave up the unified idea without ever publishing one. There may even be better "mixes" available but this works for me and I've been running a RAID-1 with them for 2 years now with no faults.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and seagate sata2 500Gb

Hi all,
As per subject, when the drive is connected to my computer it does not get passed the boot screen as all it keeps on doing is rebooting its self,
i have checked all my bios settings and all is as it should be, also i would like to mention that i already have 3 other sata drives connected to this motherboard, of which 2 are, 160Gb Seagate hard drives, and 1, 30Gb Weston digital hard drive, and they work perfectly,
I have also tried unplugging all the drives and just trying the new one, and setting the jumper to limit to 1.5Gb/s but still all it does is reboot, do you think the drive is faulty?
Thank you

Seems strange. I have a Seagate sata2 500GB (ST3500630AS) hooked up to Sata port #1 on my K8N Neo2 and it works perfectly. I have found it to be *very* intolerant of overclocks though.
What sata port are you connecting to? And are you overclocking?
This could be the problem ..... SATA ports 1 & 2 on the nforce3 boards are NOT locked. I only use 3 & 4 plus set your AGP clock to 67 or 68 to be safe (this is supposed to lock the PCI bus but only seems to work on SATA 3&4). Of course, this won't be a problem if you are running at Safe Default settings.

Problem with K8N neo2 plat. and ram

Hello everyone
Recently I had 2*512mo of PC3200 ( double side ), they hold all approximately 235mhz has 2.5/3/3/8 1T (tested separately)
But, when I puts them into dual they are stable under memtest always with 235 2.5/3/3/8 1T but are unstable under Windows, under xp they are stable until 207mhz maximum whereas they hold much higher under memtest
If I want to be stable A 235mhz under Windows it is necessary that I put them in 2T but y' has an enormous loss of perf
I tested different bios (1.37mod, 1.4 official, 1.41mod, 1.5 official, 1.8r3mod, 1.9 official and 1.B4mod) and always the same problem I also tested on port 1 and 3 (near to the CPU) and 2 and 4 but there it is still worse
Here if you have suggestion they are the welcomes
In advance thank you

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and Speedfan configuration

I'm hoping someone else with a similar K8N Neo2 setup can compare Speedfan notes with me. I'm trying to figure out what maps to what, here's my best guess. Let me know if your best guess differs.
Temp1: System / Case temp
Temp2: CPU
Temp3: Northbridge
Local Temp: CPU Socket sensor
Remote Temp: nvidia 6800 GT GPU sensor
Fan1: Northbridge
Fan2: CPU
Fan3: no sensor
PWM1: Fan1/Northbridge speed control
PWM2: Fan2/CPU speed control
PWM3: Any ideas? I'm hoping this controls voltage for at least ONE of the fan headers on the motherboard, so I can control my case fans. If anyone knows, please fill me in.
Thanks!
Rich

C'mon people, doesn't anyone have more info about this subject? I have everything figured out but speed03 and or fan03. I can not seem to control my case fans, only my CPU and northbridge work. I have 2 of my case fans plugged into the mobo and are reading 2700rpms but I can't slow or speed them up no matter what I do. It would be nice to have the system fan controlled my case temps just like the CPU fan is
Is ther something in bios I have to enable or something?

Please HELP! Problems booting K8N Neo2 Plat.

Hey peeps,
I've been having major problems with getting my system to work with the Neo2. My first board worked ok and I finished installing windows and switched it off for the night. Then about 3 hrs later it TURNS ITSELF ON... and the power supply blows up. I returned both and now I've just rebuilt the system. Worked fine for a few hours... went to sleep and woke up when my power LED on my case started flashing for no reason. Now the computer won't boot. I just get the power LED flashing. I'm REALLY annoyed at this board cos it's been giving me no end of problems with my Audigy as well. My specs are below. ANY help would be appreciated cos I only have today to resolve this problem.

How bad?

Seriously though, I would supect The Tagan PSU first because those things are loose cannons.
Hope this helps.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and installing XP on WD 1TB Caviar Black SATA-II HDD...

I haven't flashed my BIOS ever. So some will be glad to hear that since I never needed to--but I think I might have to now.
My comp crashed (just made a very long story short ), so I bought a new HDD and it's the one described in the title. It's "SATA-II" as the misnomer goes but when I installed windows on it things seemed to go just fine (at least it didn't give me any errors)--indicating the mobo didn't have any trouble allowing to install (if it has anything to do with the install in the first place). And that was without a jumper to make it go to 150 mb/s (the HDD was OEM and didn't come with one :()
When I went to booted up again after installing, I received the renowned "Error loading operating system" message.
So! I figure I need to update the BIOS so it can better interface with the new HDD. Is that a correct assumption or could my error be due to something else (like the jumper)?
Thanks for any help!
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I already had/have a SATA-II drive (300 mb/s one) installed and working just fine, recognized by windows, before the crash...but it wasn't the boot drive...so maybe that makes a difference?
EDIT 2: I tried to use the BIOS util provided on these forums but I can't use it since I have no working install on the windows drive for my PC. I'll look on the other forum page for a way to make a USB BIOS flasher on an independent computer, but if you have the link for me, that'd be even better. If I find it soon, I'll edit this out. Thanks.
EDIT 3: Eh, so it looks like it just needed a good restart...everythings fine--no flashing needed. Woohoo!

Thank you for all the replies. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia IDE-drivers did not fix my problem. Moving to other SATA-ports did not help either. Upgrading the mobo's BIOS is not really an option (I'm using one version before the most recent and there isn't anything in the fixlist of the latest BIOS).
Now I've contacted Maxtor for (hopefully) a new firmware.
