IDE3 on a K8t Neo series board

ok, My board has an IDE3 connector ont eh MB.  Does this mean I can hook up another 2 drives (primary and secondary on it).  I have all the latest drivers for this board, but for some reason can't get a 120gig WD driver to work and a Seagate 80 gig to work (no matter if they are master, slave, or standalone).  I'm 99.9% suret hey are ata133 capable.  How do I get the computer to see these two drives on the IDE3 controller.  OH, and IDE1 and IDE2 are fill.  IDE1 has two hard drives and IDE2 has 2 dvd burners.  My specs for my computer should show in my sig.  Thanks.

Hey guys, thanks a lot.  I realized that I had a bad drive in the primary IDE3 connector.  This was bringing up a blue screen error when xp started up.  I also think I had bad and/or incorrect drivers.  But I now have 2 120gigs on the IDE3, non-raid, and it seems to work out really well.  I've never gotten into raiding drives.  I think I will use these 2 as practice. Anyways thanks for the info.
Oh, and outta curiousity... I have a spare amd 3000+ 754 chipset processor.  I also have a PCI-e 6600gt....  Is the k8n neo3-F board worth getting if I don't want to buy another processor?  Or should I just save the cash and go with a 939 chipset?

  • K8T Neo Series JUSB connecting

    Hello,
    While cleaning op my case, and hiding all cabled to optimize my airflow I accidentally ripped out the connectors of the 2nd JUSB connector on my MSI K8T Neo series Motherboard. I first thougt It was made out of 1 connector, but unfortunatly they were about 10 tiny connectors.
    that JUSB connector is for my front-side USB 2.0 connectors.
    I know how to reconnect them, but I don't know in which order.
    They are all different colors and are labled:
    2x 'GND' each in an other color, 2x 'Power' each in an other color, ....
    I checked my motherboard's  "quick user's guide", about those JUSB connectors, where they gice the correct oreder. My Problem is that the lables in the Manual aren't the same as the labels on the tiny connectors.
    Does anyone has the correct order, maybe in color, so that I can reconnect them in a proper way?
    Thank you very much,
    Hans.

  • Does K8T Neo Series SATA ll?

    I have problems with my new Samsung SP 200 4c which my mobo does not find.
    I belive I have to invest in a new mobo which supports Sata - generation 2 (300 instead ogf 150 transfer rate)
    Which mobo to buy? (Socket 754)

    Thank you, blazing storm. After a week of searching for solutions I found
    it on Samsungs HDD support site, where the solution was to use a jumper
    to reset the speed from 3,0 Gb/s to 1,5 Gb/s.  Because my chipset VT 8237
    did'nt support the new HDD's software to run at 1,5 if my mobo did'nt support
    3,0 Gb/s. (MSI K8T Neo serie Socket 754)

  • How to use a DVD with IDE3 slots on K8T Neo

    I saw IDE3 slots on "K8T Neo" mainboard but in BIOS have no Third IDE setup. I really need to use DVD drive.
    Thank you for your answer.

    This IDE port is controlled by Promise 20378, you can't connect optical drive there. Its only for HDD's

  • Brand new K8T NEO-V board restarts instead of shutting down from Windows

    Tonight I installed the brand new board from MSI. It is a replacement for a defective one. When I click on shut down in Windows XP Pro, it shuts down and then immediately powers back up.
    ALL the parts are the same as before, the only change is the replacement motherboard. The new one is the exact same model as the old one, so nothing has changed. The old one powered off fine, it's problem was that the USB ports stopped working. I changed nothing in Windows either. I am using the defaults on the BIOS. Made sure to set it to defaults to try to fix this problem.
    I also unhooked the reset and power buttons to see if perhaps they were defective. Also pulled out all the cards except the video. None of those things made any difference. It was a long-shot, but I tried them anyway.
    Since setting the BIOS to default settings didn't help, I went into the power management section of BIOS and turned all the wake up features to disable. That also made no difference.
    When I searched for this problem on the forum, I found two references about a year ago. They seem to have the exact same problem so I tried to do what the suggestions for those were. That made no difference. There was a reference to APC or something like that in Windows control panel. I am not familiar with whatever it said and I could not find it in the control panel. It should be set to power down when I tell it to though. I am not aware of any setting in Windows that would make it not power down and stay off.
    It can not possibly be the other parts because they all worked fine with the other motherboard, but here is the list anyway. The power supply is an Antec 500 watt, AMD 300+ CPU, 2 sticks of 1GB RAM, Seagate 300GB PATA hard drive, ATI APG video card.
    Any ideas?

    bretware and Hans, thank you for the replys. The BIOS was already set to power off after a power failure so I did not need to change it. I tried booting into safe mode and shutting off; same results. The network adapter is a VIA chipset, rather than the Realtek; the wakeup setting is unchecked and grayed out because I unchecked the option to power the adapter off when it is not used; that also made no difference.
    I will now tear the machine apart, yet again, and breadboard it on the bench with a different power supply. I sent an urgent e-mail to MSI, hopefully they will respond in the next couple of hours.

  • What memory settings for Kingmax 3200 MPXC22D-38 512 Mb on a K8T Neo-FSR board?

    Hello,
    Like many people here, I have been having some major stability problems with this board.  I am looking to upgrade my old DDR266 memory to a 512 Mb stick on the MSI approved list and decided to go with the Kingmax MPXC22D-38 DDR400 512 Mb stick.  I know that is usually necessary to change the memory settings to achieve stability (which is my main goal) and am looking for recommendations for settings.  Any help with what each number means (or which setting it applies to) would also be very helpful.
    Also, what would be some good settings for my old DDR266 512Mb memory until the new stuff comes?  Memtest86+ reports it at CAS of 2.5-3-3-6, and I am looking mainly for stability.
    Thanks for any help in advance.
    Cheers,
    Tom

    Hello,
    My stability problems seem to mirror most of the posts here, random freezes that are not reproducible and seem to happen un-related times.  It is a complete freeze with no sound, only option is to press reset.  I can almost guarantee a freeze when playing a 3d game after about 10-20 minutes.
    Would the "Fail safe" settings be the most stable?  I saw your post said "for maximum troubles" but thought you meant this would reduce them.
    Cheers,
    Tom

  • K8T Neo Series - no power

    PLEASE HELP if anyone has had a problem like this.
    My computer is fitted with the above mainboard and has been working fine for 15 months.  Yesterday it had been on for about 2 hours and was in screensaver mode with no programs running.  I moved the mouse and saw the desktop for a few seconds and the screen went black with no power from the PC.
    I tried to restart but the system was completely dead.  Do these symptons suggest a mainboard problem?  Can anybody in the forum advise on how I can diagnose the problem and pinpoint the defective hardware?
    Any advice or tips greatly appreciated.
    TerryC

    Yes, like TS said...try a working power supply and see if you system starts. Or you can bring your pwr supply to a place that fixes computers, they usually will test it for you for nothing. Or you can buy a tester.  Definitly don't test the power supply by putting it into another machine, cuz if it is bad it could mess up the other machine. If the machine doesnt work with a new power supply, mostly likely the mainboard could have been fried due to the blown pwr supply. Dont buy a cheap power supply next time; brands to go with are Sparkle, Antec, enermax, Fortron, zalman...

  • Geforce 6600GT AGP and K8T Neo ok?

    I have read that people have had a lot of problems with the MSI mobo - via chipset - 6600GT combination. I planned to buy the new graphics card soon from either MSI, XFX or PNY, but after reading about all issues I'm not so sure anymore.
    I'm just wondering whether there really is a compatibility problem between 6600GT and MSI K8T-Neo (other than the lockup when you enable TURBO mode).

    My K8T Neo FIS2R mainboard would not boot reliably to the Win XP Pro desktop with a 6600 card installed at any memory setting, not just when set to Turbo mode. This is simply not acceptable for a product that was marketed as a high-end mainboard, and MSI still has not publicly addressed the problem, although I am hopeful that the next BIOS update will help. But for now, I would recommend that you not attempt to combine a Neo series mainboard with any 6600 class video card. The mainboard is excellent with any other kind of card, so go for a 6800 card if you can afford it. If not, consider an ATI card, all of which seem to work fine with Neo series boards.

  • K8T Neo-F (ver. 2.0) Unknown CPU Problem!

    Hi all,
    I've a really big problem with two mainboard K8T NEO-F (MS-6702 VER 2.0). I'm trying to build two pcs with these boards and two AMD Sempron64 2800+ Sock754.
    The problem is that when I turn the system on, immediately after all post messages like SATA controller diagnose, Realtek network boot, checking NVRAM, I get this message:
    "Warning unknow CPU type"
    "System halted"
    Then I can't even reboot pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL or getting into bios setup pressing DEL. The system is frozen and I can't reboot.
    I've tried to flash the bios using the recovery feature (CTRL+HOME and floppy disk with bios inserted), it starts flashing and than when I get those four beeps, I rebooted and I get the "system halted" message again.
    I saw that the latest bios for K8T NEO Series is NOT for version 2.0 like these two ones that I've got.
    What can I do? Please someone help me...
    Regards,
    Paolo

    Thanks to everyone who replied...
    The mainboard is not K8T Neo-V it's K8T Neo-F v2.0 infact on the PCB it's exactly signed MS-6702 VER 2.0.
    I really can't update the bios since I can't even boot up my system. The only way to flash the bios seems to be trying to find the correct bios for this mainboard and flash it through the bios recovery procedure (pressing CTRL+HOME during boot).
    Otherwise I've to find some other old CPU that is being supported by this mainboard, but this seems quite incredible to me! In also from my local distributors, new sock754 CPU are just Sempron64 ...
    Someone could help me finding a bios update for Sempron64 support for this mainboard?
    Regards,
    Paolo

  • K8T Neo - no boot from CD/DVD

    I have a K8T Neo FSR board, with 512 MB, one 250 GB ATA hard drive and a DVD writer/drive. It refuses to boot from the DVD drive. I've done all the standard things - going into BIOS, checking its boot order, disabling the SATA drives, even slowing the memory speed down from 400 mHz to 200 mHz. And yes, I've removed the battery and power cable and let it sit for 24 hours to reset the BIOS. None of it works.
    The DVD drive runs during POST, but does not run during the time that BIOS is looking for boot devices. It does not boot. BIOS recognizes the drive, but whether I set it to "auto" or "CD/DVD" in BIOS, the drive does not run.
    I have used a floppy disk (a modified Win 98 boot disk) that loads ATAPI drivers. The disk boots, but the drivers do nothing to help me boot or even read anything from the CD/DVD drive.
    I've even put in another power supply (that has 22 amps on the +12V line) and still, no joy. Anyone have any ideas?

    Okay, please note the new signature line. As I say, this info will not help you one bit. These are all common components, nothing exotic and nothing unearthed from a swamp. The person on eBay who sold me this motherboard says that the system booted fine for him when he ran it, he did not overclock the processor, and he is mystified as to why the system won't boot.
    I have swapped out the DVD drive for others (notably a Pioneer from my Mac G4, I think it's a DVR-106), and I did try different settings on the drive (master, slave, cable select) and tried it on the other channel. I've switched out the secondary IDE cable for a new one, and it's a cable with a key plug so it can't be plugged in the wrong way. And I've tried auto settings and the DVD/CD setting in BIOS for the drive. I cannot set up UDMA mode, since that selection is greyed out in BIOS. That shouldn't matter, as that is a high-performance setting, and booting is a low-performance task. Remember, the drive light is not coming on when BIOS starts going through its boot devices.
    And to answer another post, yes, I've set the entire boot order to CD/DVD. Plus "try other devices" so that at worst, it'll boot off the floppy.
    At this point I'm prepared to follow BOSSKILLER's suggestion and flash the motherboard BIOS to 2.2 with a floppy boot disk, unless I hear a lot of objections. Other than that, I'll have to take this to a tech, who probably won't have a clue and won't give a damn about a homebrew system ("Why don't you just throw all that in the trash and buy a nice, new system from me? There's nothing wrong with PC Chips!")
    Sorry if this is a bit abrasive, but this is something that should not happen, especially to an MSI motherboard.

  • K8T Neo and Kingmax Problems!!!!

    Hi
    Ok so basically ive got a K8T Neo Series K8T800 with a 64bit 3200+.
    When I bought it came with 2x 256 Mb Sticks of PC2700 I think DDR-333.
    Recently I bought 2x 512 sticks of Kingston Kingmax DDR-400 (MPXC22D-38KT3R)
    It wont boot at all with them in it, the monitor doesn’t even get a signal.
    Ive read the manual countless times and can’t find anything saying its incompatible.
    I Have Tried using both sticks by them selves with no difference.
    The ram is in slot 1 (I have tried all three just in case I was doing something wrong
    I Have tried the Ram in another Computer and it worked great.
    The Ram IS on the tested memory list Under Test Reports
    If you could help me it would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Zysen,

    You may have Bios Timing issues. Timing in Bios for that RAM is 2.5,4,4,8 or you can set to auto. VDIMM should be auto and you may have to try using sockets 1 and 3 as mine gave issues in sockets 1 and 2.
    You may also have to do a Bios reset.

  • K8T Neo-FIS2R No boot - Early Chipset Initialization LED

    Went from a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR with XP 2500+ O/C'd to 3200+ to an MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R board with a retail Athlon 64 3200+ and a Thermaltake Silent Boost Heatsink/Fan combo.
    RAM = 2 x 512MB Apacer PC2700 (MSI approved).
    Video= ATI 9800 Pro AIW
    Antec Sonata case with 380Watt True Power +12V-18A, +5V-35A, 3.3V-28A
    Seagate 160GB SATA 7200.7 drive.
    On boot, system hangs at #1 red LED indicating Early Chipset Initialization.
    Video is blank, all switches work, all drives spin up, no beep codes, just dead.
    Tried just CPU, Fan/Heatsink, Video and still same.
    Without any RAM, system beep codes for RAM.
    Tried RAM in slots 1 and 2, 3 and 4 and just one by itself.  Never a change to the DBracket light.
    Cleared BIOS and retried.  Nothing.  No video at all.
    What does that "Early Chipset Initialization" mean anyway?  I guess the board is bad.  This is it's first boot attempt.

    Well, I think I know what the problem is, aside from the PSU... I tried my brother-in-laws 550 PSU that pushes 24A on the +12V and it did not budge.  I think it is the board.  I did an RMA with Newegg and will be sending it in for a replacement.
    Thanks for the advice on the PSU's... I will be heading back to Newegg to get one.
    As an aside, I did get a new PSU since my last post.  It was a Maddog Multimedia 550 that is made by Thermaltake.  The voltage is not listed on the outside of the box, so, once I opened it, I noticed a couple things.  One, it is a 480 not a 550, and two, the +12V is a paltry - abismal - 18A!  This was CompUSA's best power supply and cost $140 after taxes! (I wanted one now, not in the few days it takes Newegg to get me one).  Needless to say, it is going back.  Since the numbers were not on the outside of the box, they are taking it back without a restock fee.
    I will quell my desire for now now now and wait until a good one from Newegg arrives.  I will let you know of my results!
    ps -  I am toying with the idea of the PC Power one... !
