Help with K8t Neo-2 F memory config...

Hi all, ive been looking for a solution to my problem and cant figure it out...I have a k8t neo-2 f and i cant set up my mobo to run in dual channel mode...if i put all 1gb of my ram in 1+2, then no problem, but as soon as i go 1+3 or 2+4 then the computer turns on but doesnt beep, no display...no nothing. The usb diagnostic thing on the pci slot has lights that suggest its in "early chipset initialization", but it goes no further than that. Initially i was using two unmatched pieces of ram and thats when i realized that wouldnt work at all in dual channel mode. So i shelled out the cash for OCZ matched ram 2x512mb and that does not work either.....worse yet is im running windows x64 and have a scsi HD, and cant figure out how to flash my bios, dos diskettes tell me c: is invalid(tried to update bios via MSIs dos method), and live update 3 doesnt work on x64. So my question is...am i doing something wrong here, and if it is bios update related....any ideas on how to go about updating it...last i checked the bios was v3.3....any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, in the mean time im going to try to put windows xp on and try to flash the bios with live update...and see if that works...i dont know why v9 would solve it, but im desperate now and really am ready to try anything! thanks in advance, sorry in advance if this is an old issue or if someonelse has already had it, i searched and searched only to find somewhat similiar but not identical problems...
update: looks like v3.3 is the newest one, i cant seem to get live update to show me v9...saw the stick on 9.1....but cant get it to flash...
arjun

Yeah, thanks Tiresmoke. I built the PC in my sig from some old and new parts, realised the mobo wouldn't work with 1xGB double sided and 2x512mb single sided RAM. Bought another 1gb stick, the two sticks together wouldn't work...
Signed up to this forum, and within a minute or two found this thread and a solution - the 9.1 BIOS. Fifteen minutes later (after installing a floppy drive... ) Fixed.
Thanks.

Need help with k8t neo ms-6702 and cpu compatiblility question.

I have a msi k8t neo motherboard socket 754 ms-6702 bios version 2.2 with a athlon 64 2800+ in my computer. I just bought a AMD Athlon 64 3700+ CPU Socket 754 .1MB cache. When i install it, my power goes on and i get no activity. Im wondering if i got a bad cpu off ebay or my bios isnt current enough ( i used msi live updating software and its currently at v 2.2) or does my motherboard not support this high of a cpu? Im not very computer literate. Thanks for any help and info. If i need to update my bios, i downloaded version 7.1 but i dont know how to flash it, can somone give me the steps

I had a bad experience with a 3700 bought on e bay ,turned out to be an engineering sample ."special m/b bios reqd" in my case I did get a boot and the engineering cmos message. genuine 3700 754's are quite rare and fetch premium prices.

Help! XP install problems with K8T Neo-FIS2R

The other day I put together a new system for a friend. I got the system to POST properly, the diagnostic lights on the D bracket are fine, and I can edit the BIOS, and the BIOS sees all the drives properly.
However, installing XP Pro has been impossible. I set the system to boot first to the CD, then to the hard drive (from the BIOS). After booting to the CD, I never see the message I am used to seeing ("Press any key to boot from CD...) when booting from the XP Pro install disk. The system thinks about things for a long time with a blank screen, then later it finally begins to do the install. Things appear normal at this point as in any other time I have installed XP Pro. I reformat the hard drive to start clean and then the XP install files are copied over. I get the standard message that the system will reboot and this is where things get flaky. The system reboots, but I never get the message once again on whether or not to boot from the CD. So after a while the system tries to install XP once again (it would repeat this process forever....trust me). I've popped the CD out right after the system reboots so it will try to go to the hard drive. I just get some kind of boot failure message and to insert the bootable media or whatever. I've even gone into the BIOS right after the reboot to switch the BIOS loading to try and load the hard drive first. This still doesn't give me the desired results.
This is by far the weirdest thing I've ever experienced when doing an install. I've installed XP Pro on at least 15-20 desktops/laptops of different configs and never ran into this before.
The BIOS settings are stock. I didn't see anything in there that was really needed tweaking or that hadn't "set itself". I haven't messed with the SATA or RAID stuff since it's not really necessary in this situation.
Here are the system specs:
--Antec 430 True Power PSU
--K8T Neo-FIS2R mobo
--AMD 3000+ 64 bit CPU
--40GB Maxtor HD (master on IDE1)
--Lite-On DVD-ROM drive (slave on IDE1)
--80GB Western Digital (8MB buffer) (master on IDE2)
--Sony DRU510A DVD-RW (slave on IDE2)
--(2) Kingmax 184 Pin 512MB DDR PC-3200 Model# MPXC22D-38
--ATI 9800 Pro
--3.5 Floppy
All the components except the mobo, CPU, and memory are from another AMD system that was running fine. No problems with any of the HD's or the optical drives. All new components were purchased from newegg.
I thought that maybe I had a problem with the jumpering of the drives so I messed with those in about every possible combination. I took IDE2 completely out of the system and just tried to get it running with the 40GB Maxtor and the Lite-On drive. I tried about every master/slave/cable select combination but nothing was working. In certain combinations the BIOS recognized everything as I intended. I've pulled everything off that doesn't need to be connected. Keyboard, monitor, and internal components are the only things connected.
I don't consider myself to be a guru at this business, but I can get through most things with enough trial and error. This really has me stumped.
Any help is certainly appreciated.
Thanks,
Heath

MSI K8T Neo 2 FISR Memory problems....

Could someone please help me
I have a MSI K8T Neo 2 mobo, with 500w powersupply, AMD 64 3500+, and 4 sticks of 512mb PC3200 ram (not all installed).
2 of my sticks were bought from PC world as PC3200 DDR400 ram.
The other 2 are Nanya 512mb PC3200 DDR400 ram.
I ONLY NEED TO USE 2 OF THESE STICKS.
This motherboard was chosen so that i could run DUAL channel.
However when running memory in slots 1 and 3 as manual suggests, the pc crashes when playing games. If i run 1 stick in slot 1 it happily runs all day long.
I have tried running memory in slots 1 and 2 but only making a frequency of 157.1mhz. See screenshot of CPU-Z:
MY MEMORY CONFIG
Surely this should be 200Mhz?
Basically i can only make 200mhz using a single stick and no joy with dual channel.

Don't know if this will help
You probably already know about this......

6600GT not working with K8T neo-FIS2R

I recently returned a K8T NEO-FIS2R MB for repair. The problem was that the PS/2 and USB ports were broken. However the MB has been returned and the PS/2 and USB ports work fine. I posted about this several months ago.
Now the AGP port seems to be broken (not the actual slot). I have tried a 6800 Ultra and a 6600 GT (AGP version) GFX card in this slot. Both cards fail at the driver installation point. I have tried driver versions 66.93, 67.02 and 67.03. I also tried 3 versions of the via drivers 451, 453 and 455. Even tried XP with SP1 and SP2. The PC will sometimes BSOD, reset, won't boot into windows. The drivers sometimes install then other times they won't, etc. The problems only seem to be with the drivers for the GFX cards.
The 6600 GT works as I have tried it in another MB without any problems.
I know the memory works fine as I used memtest86+ for a couple of hours on the default settings without any errors and it works in another PC.
The spec of the PC is:
XP pro
K8T NEO-FIS2R MB
512MB corsair XMS at 2.5-3-7-3
XFX 6600GT
40gig HDD
FDD
Plextor CD writer
DVD Rom
PSU is a Q-tec 550W
I know Q-tec PSUs are not up to much from what I have read elsewhere in this forum, but I have had it running in a similar system with the 6800 Ultra installed without any trouble (even with the above MB before it went faulty). I have also tried a 400W PSU, that came with the case. The Voltages on the 12V line are between 12.00 and 12.03 when using the Q-tec PSU.
Has any body else had these problems with the 6600GT in the mentioned MB.
Also, how can I check the serial number on the MB with the label on the box, as this MB that was returned to me looks to “clean” to be the one I sent away for repair.
Thanks for any help

Hey, I'm glad to see a post on the new Gforce 6600GT AGP card. I just recently put together a brand new system (see my sig for specs). System runs great. The only thing I wanted to do was replace the video card, and after a great deal of anxiety I decided the Geforce 6600GT AGP was the best bang for the buck.
Well I got home, installed the card and never get passed the bios screen. (shows your processor, memory, memory siz), the screen u hit DEL to go into the bios.
The system doens't lock up, NUM LOCK can still be turned on and off, and CAPS can be turned of and on... but thats it. Just sits on that screen. I can't go into the bios either.
what settings do I need to do prior to isntalling this card to get it to work.
Let me know if you all need anymore details to help me out.
oh, I did reset my frequency to 10x200 (which is what I think the 3000+ is supposed to be at).

Hi
welcome
The power led flashing is the power protection system, to reset take power cable out for 5 secs, then replace and re start. If it continues to do this, there is someting shorting, or not connected. The 4 pin square CPU power supply is connected to mobo.? Are all the stand off posts on the mobo lined up with the shielded holes in mobo - no extra ones fitted.
Other things it could be are PSU, the board needs over 18amps on the +12v line to boot, what are the amps on the 3.3v, the +5v, and the +12v lines, get them from label on side of PSU.
Could be several other things, like Heatsink not sitting on CPU properly, or a bent pin, loose wire or screw on mobo, etc.
cheers

High frequency sound with K8T Neo-FIS2R

Hello!
I have the MSI k8t neo-fis2r mainboard with bios v 1.6 and sometimes it makes a horrible high frequency sound and I cant figure out why.
My system are:
amd 64 3000 cpu and
Corsair Value S PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB Unbuffered, Non-parity, 64Megx64, CL2.5
My other components does not cause the sound (that I have found out by testing).
I wonder if the ram causes the sound? Can you please help me. The sound is so bad that I cant use my computer. It only appers during heavy system load, and not in windows. It has nothing to do with my video card (because I have tried with several different cards). My bios settings are default values + cool and quit enabled. I have the core center installed so the progam controls the cpu fan.
I really hope someone can help me.

The sound does not come from the speaker and I dont think it comes fom the cpu fan either. I think it comes from the motherboard, ram or the cpu. When I dont use my mouse it is quit but when I clik it makes this sound. Can it be that I have to set all values in bios for ram etc. manually instead of automatic?
When it comes to other electrical sources I have a TV standing 0.5 meter from the computer. Could thins cause the problem? I did not have the problem with my old motherboard which was a MSI K7T Turbo2.
The sound usually appers when I am benchamarking my system. For example 3dmark 2004. Because of this I thougt there was a problem wiht my vga card but after a changed to a new one...the situation was just the same.

Probs with k8t neo and radeon 9500 non pro

Hi!
I´m totaly new with amd and i got a msi k8t neo and a sempron 2800+ with 1gb memory and a saphire radeon 9500 non pro and the computer does not start with that graphiccard.The processor fan just spins up a bit then it dies. But with a gforce 5200 card the computer works fine. I have tryed the saphire card in my server with a P4 1,6ghz and on that motherboard it works just fine.
Im from sweden so my english is not the best ;-)

Yes i have tryed all those things. But my card works perfectly in 2 diffrent computers. So i dont think that the vidccard is broken.. But what do i know...
Well you know that othergfx cards do work oin ur board, so I still say you RMA it, or swap if with another card that will work

PC with K8T Neo stopped powering up

Hello,
I built a pc with MSI K8T Neo motherboard, Athlon 64 3200+ processor, 1 Gig (2 x 512) Kingston value PC3200 RAM, ATI Radeon 9600 XT with 128 RAM, Maxtor 80 gig hd in a PowMax case with 400 W power supply. I installed Window 2000 on my machine with no problems. After I installed the video driver (3.10) the machine told me to reboot, which I did. However, the machine did not power back up and did not turn on through the power button. I used a volt meter to test both the power supply and the power button -- both work. I also took out the battery on the motherboard to reboot CMOS to no effect. I am starting to think that the problem could be with the motherboard but I am not sure.
Thanks for any advice.

did a cord maybe come loose or something?
this is the wierdest problem i have heard of so far...

Help with error:"ora-27101 shared memory realm does not exist"

Hello friends of the forum:
I would like to help me with a question imortante I am very new to this aspect of oracle:

I like to see that show me with pictures as I am new in this aspect of oracle .... and want to learn it .... thank you very much

Hello friend..
The error you are getting *"ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist"* may be coz you are trying to connect to your database which is already shutdown not as sysdba user but as some other user, becoz of which you are getting this error. It sometimes happen that the service of the database is already started but when you try to connect to a shutdown database as users other then sys even having the DBA priviledges you cannot connect to database.
Try to connect as SYS user hope your problem will be resolved.

Early Chipset Initialization problem with K8T Neo 2 - FIS2R

This one has me stumped.
I went to install a new CPU fan earlier today and while I was installing the fan I had to remove my sound card and AGP card so I could screw the fan to the side of the heat sink.
I got all that done and went to start the computer back up and now I get a contineous high pitched sound while at the same time 3 beeps. The D bracket shows a green LED on 1 so this is the "early chipset initialization" problem.
What is causing this and why would this happen after a fan installation?
Specs
A64 3200+ Winchester
1.5 GB RAM (2x 512, 2x 256) DDR 400
MSI K8T Neo 2 - FIS2R
PNY GF 6800
Audigy 2 ZS Gamer
200GB IDE HDD
80 GB IDE HDD
DVD - R/RW
Win XP Pro w/ SP2

Okay after a bit of messing around with the problem I discovered what the problem was....
I didn't plug in the power to the video card
Yeah the 6800 uses needs more power from the PSU and I left that little rail unplugged. Maybe some other soul will find this useful in a time of need.

Mobile Athlon 64 3700+ Compatible with K8T Neo?

I've been thinking of installing a larger cpu in my mainboard, the current set-up is...
MSI K8T Neo with AMD Athlon 64 2800+
I know that the Athlon 64 3700+ is compatible but is the Mobile Athlon 64 3700+
As far as I can tell all the specs look ok, it's just the mobile bit that worries!
Any ideas?

Booting "issues" with K8T Neo-FIS2R

Well hello everyone. First of all I want to say that my English isn't completely error-free and my problem might seem awkward because of my ways of expression.
I also want to say that i've read alot of threads and searched the forum for my problem.
For a couple of days ago I got all my parts for building my 64bit-system and I build her up. To my suprise it booted, with almost no errors. Although I could install Windows XP and use it completely, everytime I boot it (under the booting sequence) it says "Bios is not installed", although I can enter bios simply (like everyone else) just pushing the DEL-button.
But this isn't the only problem. When I enter PC Health Status it says that the cpu is running at whooping 62-65 degrees. When i have my hand around the cpu-cooler it doesn't even feel warm so I think it has something to do with my BIOS-version that i am running now (Yes, I've read that in much more threads)
Also I have problems using the Cool'n'Quiet technology. I have it supported in the BIOS and activated it although it will not work (maybe it has something to do with the bios?) With this i mean that i will not go underclocked (It's allways 2.2 GHz)
My final problem is that it sometimes takes the system 2 minutes to boot sometimes, it happend after i flashed the bios to 1.7 from 1.0
Under these circumstances I've used 1.0 AND 1.7 BIOS-versions.
I've never overclocked the computer either.
What could be wrong?
I'm using 3200+ 2.2GHz Athlon 64 cpu.

Radeon 9800pro
Seagate 7200.7 200GB drive.
