Help pls Lots of problems and Is this a Neo Platinum

I have bought and installed what is supposed to be a K8N Neo Platinum.  MS-7030.  It has a AMD 64-3000+.  The board is stamped "K8N Neo Rev 1".  I can't find any Platinum anywhere and NONE of the MSI software utilites pull back any information at all about the motherboard, other than MS-7030.  
Biggest problems:
1) There's no Gigabit lan option in the BIOS (version 1.2).  Other than that, the BIOS seem to match what the book says they should be.  I have a MAC LAN option, but no Gigabit lan option.   It's just not there.
2) I have the MAC LAN enabled and installed the system drivers ok.  It shows up in device manager.  But none of the MSI software utilities recognize the onboard ethernet card.  Third party utilities such as "TCP Optimizer" don't show the Nvidia LAN adapter but show a "1394 Net Adapter" even though I have the Firewire disabled in BIOS and not installed in Win XP Pro.  Internet access is ok as far as I can tell but I wonder if performance is suffering.
3) Live Update says I need the ADMTek network drivers or something like that.  Never heard of them, and do I really need them, what will they do?
4) Temps are hot.  120 F/49 C idle immediately after boot up.  Can get up to 61 or 62 C when under load.  I have max cooling options in BIOS and CoolnQuiet enabled in BIOS.
5) The MSI Software utilities such as DMI, Infoview, WMIinfo don't work right or report a bunch of garbage.  Internal/external cache reports invalid in the DMI browser, etc.  The Infoview shows no network information (see item 2)
6) The power light blinks sometimes.  It IS hooked up correctly - it is NOT hooked up to the HDD LED.  The HDD LED works fine.  But the power light blinks, especially in Windows and when under heavy load, or when logging on and off accounts.
I switched to Nvidia because of all the headaches I had with old VIA chipset on my last board.   Was it a mistake?  
This board seems really flakey!!!
Thanks -j

Flashing to the official 1.3 seems to have helped the temperature problems quite a bit....
Could this be the problem with my network card:  when i first repair installed XP Pro after installing new mobo/cpu/ram, I left the nVidia LAN disabled and kept my old PCI ethernet iinstalled.  After I had everything set up correctly, then I disabled the PCI ethernet card, removed it, and enabled the onboard nVidia LAN card.  Internet works and everything.  It shows up in device manager after I installed latest system drivers.
But, it's like no other software can see this network card, not even MSI's own software utilities.
The LiveUpdate says I need something called ADMTEk network drivers or something like that but I don't know what this is or why I  need it.
Thanks

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • More Imovie help pls.  Importing problem

    Hi gang..
    First thanks for all the help... I appreciate it.. I don't want to give up on imovie just yet.
    Im on a mac pro, with 5gb, for a system so it should not be slow.
    I have found after testing that the only way that I can get a final product to look good is if I start my project with a
    1080i hd. Any other settings show lots of shimmering (I think this is what I have from learning
    When I import 100 files, All jpegs converted to fit within 1024x1024 max and maintaining appropriate size for the type of photo it comes out nice.
    but... it is so slow.. about 10 seconds to add a transition
    WHY?? The system should have enough horsepower.
    I think more importantly is that I can get a nice output with this process after it has gone to idvd and made the dvd and I look at it on the tv. Its acceptable.. so a WIN !!!
    But at this pace its taken me over 4 hours just to add tranistions
    So.. I'm thinking it must be my setup somewhere. I made a guest account, but its no different.
    I have tried diff resolutions of photos down to 640x640. Importing from aperture or iphoto.. (no difference)
    So why do I have to make an 1080i Movie to get nice quality on the tv?
    P.S I have tried multiple tv's and dvd players.. no differnece
    Scratching my head over this one.
    Thanks all.. I feel like that train.. I know I can.. I know I can lol

    Hi g
    May be I'm totally wrong but I would have been very surprised if it didn't
    work exactly as You describe it.
    5Gb - way to little.
    Mac OS X is really depending heavely on UNIX and virtua memory managment.
    To work OK You need about 10 to (more likely) 20 % of the hard disk size free.
    eg. 80Gb hd = 8 - 16 Gb free to run OK
    eg. 160Gb = 16 - 32 Gb
    iMovie needs to this 13 Gb free per hour of miniDV capture and about 2 to 5
    times more to work with.
    16x9 and HD need may be 2 to 4 times more.
    Video is a hard disk space demanding labour.
    Adding external disks - You need to think of two things:
    - Mac OS Extended formatted - NOT UNIX or DOS
    - It is on Your internal drive You need at least 20 Gb free space. So you need
    to free up this by moving other documents or projects out to the external one.

  • Any problem with Gainward 6800GT & K8N Neo Platinum? (sock754)

    Hi all! I want to buy the k8n neo p., was reading this review:
    http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?cid=6&id=1247&pg=12
    The author write:
    "One of the problem we encountered was the transistor positioning near the AGP slot. With extremely lengthy AGP cards, one of the capacitors located in that area may obstruct certain components on the graphics card. As such, users with large graphics cards might want to first test the installation of a graphics card before purchasing this motherboard."
    I have a Gainward 6800GT Powerpack Ultra/2400 Golden Sample, the red model with double red fans, visible here http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/gainward-ultra2400.html
    Approx 21 cm lenght. There is any mounting problem with this graphic card and the K8N NEO Platinum?  

    Quote
    Originally posted by ozzimark
    currently all 6800gt's and ultras are based off the same reference boards, so they're the same exact length as the one you linked to in your first post, however, i also have the stock cooler.. the gainward has one that is significantly larger, but i feel that there isn't anything in the way of mounting that card.
    In fact this is my fear  
    The cooler on my card is very big, but i don't want to eventually modify it in the future because it's in warranty. Someone know what is the height of the three damned capacitors? If i know the height, i can estabilsh if this gfx card can fit without troubles in the motherboard. I want an MSI   don't want to buy an Asus  

  • Good evening. When I try to rename a master file or export a master file, it only allows 9 spaces for my new name, even though Aperature 3 allows many more spaces than that for version names. This creates a lot of problems and headaches for me.

    Good evening. When I try to rename a master file or export a master file, Aperature 3 only recognizes the first 9 spaces for raw .NEF files, even though it easily uses twice that many spaces for version names. I have a system in place that works really well for me, wherein by changing the file name I can recognize what's important to me just by glancing at the file name, no matter what system it is in, I do not have to open or mouse over anything to know what the file is. My files also arrange themselves in order no matter what file system they are in. Can someone please tell me if there is a setting, or something I am doing wrong, that prevents me from using a longer Master file name. I can't be the only person who would like to have his Master File names correspond to the name that appears in the Aperature library, and would like to use at least 16 spaces (numbers, letters, etc.)
    Thanks,

    Hi Frank,
    As you suggested, I am attaching several screen shots. In the first one you can see how I set up my preset. I used "Custom Name" and "Counter" with a dot between the two drag ins, followed by "D90". I also have a dot to seperate the 8 digits in the Custom Name and make it easier to read.
    I then click "OK" which takes us to the second screen shot. Here you can see that in the Example File Name everything looks perfect, and you can see I have clicked on "Apply to Master Files".
    In the third screen shot you can see that the version in my library did in fact change correctly. With the "mouse over" pop up screen you can see, however, that the Master File name was changed  to "1933.1017.NEF". It failed to carry the "12D90" and if I go to where my masters are stored that is exactly what the name was changed to.
    In the fourth screen shot I attempt to export the master. You can see how my "Version Name" is set up.
    And finally on the 5th screen shot you see in the File Name Example the name "1933.1017.NEF" once again, which when I export the master is exactly how the name will appear. Since I will export more than one file at a time , a (1) and  a (2)  etc., will appear at the end of the names because all the files are being given the same "1933.1017.NEF" name.
    I hope this reply does a better job of clarifying my problem. I am anxious to see if this is something I simply misunderstood, or if I am simply doing something wrong.

  • My iPod won't let me play music. It syncs just fine but the music won't play! I just took it in to fix it's restore problem, and now this is happening. HELP!!

    I got my iPod on Monday, November 5th, so I've had it less then a week and I'm having so many issues with it. It would synce my music then when I tried again it synced the music, but it won't play so I tried to restore it and that made it worse. I had to take it to the apple store to fix it and now that it's restored I tried to sync it again and the same thing happened. It will sync the music but I can't play it. It's really frustrating, exspecially, because I just turned 17 and paid for this with my own, hard-earned money for a to-myself present!!

    Based on what you tried, I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and press for a replacement iPod. Elevate to the store manager if necessary.

  • Help pls! - continuous beeping and clicking sound on startup

    Hi everyone,
    I have had my mac mini for about 3 months and it has often made this continuous beeping when the mac starts up before I input my password.  Being new to a Mac, I thought this was normal as the sound goes away as soon as i type my password in.  However more recently it has made this sound a few times after i have logged in and there are no programs running, just the desktop showing on the screen.  When this happens, the noise stops when I press a key and then starts up again straight afterwards.  The only way to stop the noise is to restart.  I've looked through the guide about tones and what they mean but none of the tones seem to fit with what I'm hearing as it is a contonuous sound without any pauses and the power light doesn't flash or anything.  I have recorded the sound if that helps, but I can't see a way to upload it here.
    Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this, and if it's a problem what I should do?
    Thanks very much in advance
    Katie

    Hi BDAqua,
    Thanks very much! No it doesn't make the sound when I start up without keyboard attached and then as soon as I plugged it back in the noise started again so i think we've found the cause!  I am still using a Dell keyboard just because I can type so much better on it but I guess I will have to make the switch to a mac keyboard.  Unless there is something more I can do to configure the keyboard?
    Thanks
    Katie

  • HT2305 I'm always reading and hearing that the updates cause a lot of problems and people wish they hadn't updated, has anyone successfully updated their software?

    I'm always reading and hearing that updating software causes problems with lost data, non communication between ipod/phone and computer. Has anyone sucessfully instyalled the latest update, I'm afraid to?

    It will help people to advise you if you specify which update you are considering.

  • I'm connected to the wifi at home but no internet access. i was surfing on the same wifi without any problems. and also this issue is for other wifi network.

    hello everyone.
    i was surfing browsing and downloading on my iphone 4 on my home wifi and other places without any problem but today i found out that even though i'm connected to my wifi i got no internet access. i also got this new problem, my led flash is on.  if i tilt the device the flas dims a bit. i tried switching off the device but still the flash is on. i tried using at other wifi network same problem. i tried forget this network, switching off and turning on the device i also tried reseting the network and also hard reseting the device. but still same problem. what can i do about this? and if i send it to apple what are my options? i got warrant coverage so will they be able to repair it ? if they are not able to repair then will they give me new iphone 4 or refurbished iphone 4 for replacement?

    Apple does not repair devices.  If they are covered under warranty, the device is replaced.  You will not get a new phone, you will get a service unit which is as good as if not better than new.
    If all the basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide has been done and the device does not get Internet access via Wi-Fi from multiple locations, the only thing left is to take it to Apple.

  • Keep getting firefox not responding for about 2 months now Can any one help me figure out why and fix this?

    I'm using windows 7 64 bit system, for past 2 months keep randomly getting firefox not responding. Wait about 10-20 seconds for all tabs to respond.

    This is a bad hardware error, Baseband Error. Some have reported getting through this error by Restoring iPhone with the SIM Card removed. Try that. Try restoring with different computer. Search Web some more for other thoughts.

    Can you run Firefox long enough to display the Add-ons page? Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Remove also is available for some extensions, but not the ones that Firefox found in a registry scan or shared folder elsewhere on your system.)
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?
    If you cannot access the Add-ons page, try starting Firefox in Safe Mode, since that deactivates extensions and hopefully will stop that message from coming up long enough to get to the Add-ons page.
    ''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when starting Firefox.
    ''If Firefox is running:'' You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
    * "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
    Success?

  • Beware the Security Update - How I fixed my WIFI problem and a question

    First of all I have read the "Latest Update from 21 January is A Disaster" thread and I basically agree with Andrew is Stuck so please don't feel the need repeat any of the stuff about it is not a bug in the update etc etc and I should have a Super Duper clone to hand etc etc . I have read that stuff. You are probably right but they should write on the Security Update info panel - "Be Careful this could really ruin your day".
    I am ****** off and stressed out and I need to rant and I am not looking for that kind of lecture - even if it is partially or wholly true. I need to feel positive by warning people the way I wish I had been warned!
    NB I am near the end of a professional dance tour as Musical Director running music on Logic on my MBP and it has been working fantastic - not a single glitch in 6 weeks. I would never upgrade my OS or Logic in the middle of job like this BUT Security Updates have always seem like something you should install because they will protect the Mac or protect against any new viruses etc. I have never had a problem with them before. (THAT ATTITUDE WILL NOW CHANGE!!!)
    This update has caused a lot of people a lot of problems (check out this forum) and it has caused me more real world problems than anything I have downloaded and installed from anywhere in the last 3 years. Thus it has nothing to do with Security!!! HOw any people does a Security Uodate have to goose before it becomes an unsatisfactory Security Update?
    This security update suddenly stopped my WIFI working and put me in a real hole.
    (I am sure you don't care but I have a meeting tomorrow morning that I needed to do 3 hours of prep for including looking at VIDEO online. And the Security Update has just put paid to that. )
    After 3 hours I have just got WIfi back- here's how:
    I repaired permissions twice with Disk Utility - no joy. I found I could get online when I booted in Safe Mode (and I could get online with my Iphone on the same WIFi setup) so I knew it was not the router - though I did switch the router on and off a few times,
    When I initially ran Repair permissions there was loads of things needing repair. I ran it again and 2 remained:
    usr/share/derby it keeps trying to repair
    and one of the package contents of the ARDAgent.app (System>Library>CoreServices>RemoteManagement>ARDAgent.app>Contents>MacOS>ARDAg ent) had a warning attached that it in the Disk Utility Repair Permissions report that it had been modified.
    So I restored ARDAgent.app from a Time Machine Back up and replaced the offending file when in Safe Mode (Restart with Shift held down). - using Ctrl Click to open the ARDAgent.app package contents.
    This seemed to sort it all out for me.
    I guess people need to look in their Disk Utility Repair Permissions reports and see if any esoteric system files have been goosed by the update and see if they can get them back - although if you don't know what you are doing this could make things worse......
    Anyway I DO have questions:
    If this hadn't of worked:
    1) Would reinstalling Snow Leopard from disks have upset my preferences, installs of Logic and Audio drivers and 3rd party application installs and the rest?
    - the main stressor when this happens is not trying to lose the whole day.
    2) Is there a way of just restoring the System from a Time Machine Backup or a SuperDuper clone or do you have to restore the whole state of the entire Hard Drive?
    Best
    Tommy Banana
    PS I feel better now. Thanks for listening.

    The fact that you saw no glitches while running Logic before applying the update means almost nothing because that uses only a small subset of system resources. Far more significant is that Safe Mode restored some missing functionality: because it disables non-essential items like user fonts, third party drivers, & so on, it points to problems in those areas.
    Equally significant, the fact that there are relatively few reports of post-update problems among the several million Snow Leopard users points away from the update itself as the cause of your problems.
    Separate & apart from that, it so happens that I'm a sound engineer/system designer/board operator with nearly 40 years of professional touring experience. FWIW, I never have & never will update the software of any system I must rely on professionally (whether it is running on a Mac, a PC, or dedicated hardware) unless & until I can thoroughly test it first and I have a trustworthy backup/recursion strategy to fall back on in case of problems.
    I strongly suggest you learn from your unpleasant experience & do the same. I have had far fewer problems with Macs than with PC's, but nothing is 100% reliable to begin with. Changing the OS software part way through the tour is just asking for trouble, no matter how reliable that has been in the past. Even if the budget allows for nothing better than a stack of burned CD's & a couple of consumer grade CD players, no professional tour can afford to be without some fallback strategy in place. That should be self-evident & require no warning from Apple or anybody else.
