Install issue nForce3 Ver. 5.11 on Neo2 Platinum

Hello,
I am putting together a PC using the K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard (bios 1.C), Athlon XP3200+ (Venice Core) CPU, an ATI Radeon X800Pro AGP graphics card, 2 X 512mg sticks of ram, one 160gig SATA hard drive and LG4163 DVD burner.  The on board sound has been enabled in the bios.
I had no problems with a straight forward install of Windows XP Pro.  However, when I ran the chipset driver install (nForce3 -V5.11) that I downloaded from the nVidia website, the machine rebooted into a blank screen.  I tried rebooting back into Windows without success.  The boot sequence would post but Windows would just hand on a blank screen!   
The only thing I could do (i have done this twice now) was a complete reinstall of Windows to try again.  Unfortunately, when I tried to install those 5.11 drivewrs the same thing would happen.  I have finally had some success by using ver. 5.03 from the MSI website and everything now seems ok.  However, I would like to install the latest drivers especially if this is a known issue which has been resolved.  Anyone gfot any advice on this??
Thanks

It's better to used the ver 5.10 as it much more stabile rather than 5.11 as it causing many problems.

There are major problems with its IDE and LAN drivers. For example I get a BSOD or my rig reboots when it tries to install the network driver. After that Windows refuses to work again. Also the IDE driver has a SATA2 bug (when you use a SATA2 drive on the SATA1 nForce3) that causes a 30 second black screen delay right when XP starts to boot.
Latest official nForce3 driver is from 2005, and latest x64 driver is from 2004 and its beta... Now thats what I call being a lazy arse. You suck at drivers NVIDIA!
I also using SATAII hdd but jumpered it to SATA mode but yet i has no problem with that.
Also using the IDE n Sata drivers has no problem

  • MOVED: Drivers nForce3 ultra on MSI K8N Neo2 platinum and Vista?

    This topic has been moved to Vista problems.

    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.

  • NForce3 chipset temp on K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Hello I recently installed a new cpu and gfx cooler (Scythe Ninja Plus & ATI Silencer 5)
    I had plans to install ZM-NB47J to but it just was to little space between gfx cooler and nf3 chipset.
    My new coolers dosent give any "fresh" air to nf3 chipset like the stock ones so my System temp is up to 41-43C from 36C
    What are normal temp on nf3 chipset and how hot can it get before my system gets unstable and maby cause damage to my motherboard?

    My fan broke almost out of the box and with some talking I got a vantec cooler. It fits under those long video cards. The cooler is the same size as stock, cooper, larger fan, and heftier
    It's always worth it to pick up a couple of those Vantec GPU coolers whenever you see 'em - they're the perfect replacement for the crap stock chipset fan - I put one on my Neo4 Plat as soon as I took the mobo out of it's box.
    My Nf4 chipset stays at 32-35C no matter what.

  • K8N Neo2 platinum & 750g sata RAID issue

    Hi there I have an issue with booting up. I have 1 200g Western digital HDD where windows is installed and I have 1 further 500g WD drive which were both fine until I decided to buy 2 samsung 750g HDD's to run in RAID. I have installed the drives in RAID and formatted but I am having a problem with booting.
    If I reset, the computer keeps rebooting at the detection stage, powers off and keeps doing it over and over. Sometimes it will go through if you wait long enough. When I turn the power on and off it will go through the detection stage no worries every time but then at the XP loading screen it will freeze there. Sometimes it goes through and I will boot into XP fine and other times I can't get in.
    I have the latest Bios 7025V1D but I am wondering if this issue is bios related because of the 750g size... The problem has only started since I have installed the two 750g HDD's in RAID. Does this bios version support 750g HDD's? Is there an updated BIOS to fix this problem somewhere?
    I have 2gig of ram, 3500+ processor, latest Nforce3 drivers from Nvidia, RAID drives on sata ports/3/4, 500gig WD on sata port 1, 200 gig WD is HDD is IDE, Windows SP2 and all updated, ummmmmm everything else is fine I'm fairly sure.
    I had a few troubles installing the RAID drivers because windows didn't want to accept the drivers I downloaded from here and did not want to accept the drivers in windows. I ended up getting it the drives to come on-line through the use of START/NVIDIA corp/ NVIDIA RAID program (cant remember the name, typing this on another computer).
    Any ideas would be greatly and very muchly appreciated!
    Terry.

    Ok My PSU is: WideTECH 550w, +3.3v=33a, +5v=36a, +12v=25a, -12v=1.0a, +5vsb=2.5a.
    I am only running 3 HDD's at the moment, the 2 750's and the 1 200gig. I have left the other 500gig unplugged until I get this problem sorted. I don't have a cd rom plugged in or a floppy. I only connect them when I need to because this computer is setup to be a storage server and I use my other pc for anything dvd related etc. The only other thing which is chewing power is the video card which is an old 6800gt ultra. So basically the power issue was fine until I installed the two extra HDD's and as I have unplugged the 500gig for the time being its only really one extra HDD which shouldn't be an issue. Oh I have two 80mm case fans using the psu aswell.
    As for my other specs: I have 1 gig of Geil dual channel RAM 2x512 sticks, CPU=AMD Athlon64 3500+, MB is MSI K8n Neo2 Platinum, Vid card= Leadtek geforce 6800gt ultra 256 agp, You know about my HDD's but here they are again= 1x 200g WD caviar IDE, 1x 500g WD caviar sata(1 I think), 2 x 750g samsung sata (2 I think), OS = XP Home SP2 with all lasest automatic updates, latest BIOS etc etc etc....
    My windows is a legit copy as well.
    You mentioned putting my HDD's into sata 1 mode... I was of the opinion that my motherboard does not support sata2 anyway and would not allow them to run in anything but sata1?? If I did want to change the sata mode where would I do this anyway?
    Thanks for your reply but I don't think it has to do with psu or sata mode although I'm interested about this sata2 thing, please explain.
    Thanks in advance,
    Terry.

    Nothing has ever been overclocked on this system.
    Everything is plugged into a Belkin Surgemaster powerbar.
    I haven't mentioned the power supply. I'll get to that. I have been using an ANTEC NEOPOWER 480W POWER SUPPLY (ATX12V  DUAL 12V RAILS ACTIVE PFC W/ DETACHABLE OUTPUT CABLES) for about a year on this system without
    any issues. One morning, I wake up, hit the power button on my coolermaster case, and nothing happens.
    CPU fan won't even spin. Nothing happens.
    O.k., blown power supply, I think . . . .
    So I take out my Antec and put it in another system. That system turns on
    without any problems.
    Hmm . . .
    I come here, and I read posts about
    potential compatibility issues with Antec power supplies. But if it's a compatibility
    issue why was my system working for about a year?
    O.k., fine. I'll buy a Enermax 535W EG565P-VE FMA 24P (115/230 VAC) power supply.
    I just plug it into the mainboard (nothing else). Hit the power button . . .
    The CPU fan spins for half a second, and then nothing.
    Did my motherboard just suddenly die for no reason?
    Any suggestions?

    Pull the AC plug from PSU and set cmos in clear position with battery removed for atlest 20 minutes perhaps longer .
    Then try to post the system barebone .
    Just cpu,1 pcs memory in slot 1 , gfx card , and keyboard in PS2.
    No usb devices at all including card reader and no pci cards harddisks or cdoms/dvd/floppy.
    It could also be caused by a short or a malfunctioning fan connected to mobo.
    Try to disconnect all case fans from mobo headers if you have any connected to additional fan holders.
    The chipset fan can also be disconnected momentarily just to see if it posts.
    If none of this helps , replace cmos battery and try again .

    HI! i'm the one wih the raid problem on a k8n neo2....
    That's what a i Did.. i unpacked the exe and copy the files in a floppy... question is: if i do that, windows instaler askme for some files that aren't in the .exe, anway it reconices the raid and everithing goes fine until the first BOOT on windos... it shows a blue screen, butremoves it so fast that i cant read it or pause the system. But i know it's a raid problem because if i install it on a ide disk it works.
    The nforce3 drivers are almost a year old, and i'm not sure if nforce4 is compatible...
    I think the're compatible because if you enter in msi driver download page and select my model, they put the Nforce3 and nforce4 for win64 and my model is only nforce3. The thing is they havent released the nforce3 for WIN 64.... So.. It's normal that win asks me for some files that ain't in the .zip file (i extracted the files o course) and Which driver should i put the Nvidia one year old nforce3 or the new nforce4. (the nforce3 for 32 bits is rejected by windows) or... i have to wait the new nforce3?
    thanks for helps

  • MSI Neo2 Platinum (Winchester3200) - strange instability issue in Windows

    My specs:
    Winchester 3200 CPU
    MSI Neo2 Platinum 1.4 bios
    2 x 512 Kingston PC4000 3-3-3-8-1
    Gainward 5900Xt GS
    Seagate 160Gb SATA on SATA port 3
    The problem seems quite odd to me, so I decided to post here. Generally, the PC is stable, passes more than an hour of Prime95, 3d marks run fine etc.. but in Windows (XP Sp1) I'm getting this annoying issue: when I let the system run idle for a while, with none or some windows open but no programs active, my computer literally freezes. I can move the mouse, but i can't open any windows or click any buttons. Still, the keyboard is responding so I hit ALT + CTRL + DEL and get the Windows Security window. There I click on the Task Manager and all i get is an empty desktop, with the wallpaper but no icons or any activity whatsoever.
    Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

    Nope.. And I hardly believe it's a software issue. Will try a fresh install of XP today, nut the reason of such strange behaviour escapes me :] Cmon people, any ideas ?
    If you problem isn't related to software, then the only other thing that comes to mind is that overclocking is the culprit.  I'm not overclocking anything (except my 3d card, and that only slightly) and have no such problems with my K8N Neo2.  You describe a strange problem, certainly, and in my own experience such behaviors--system runs great in some normal situtations but in others it doesn't--have always been related to overclocking of some kind.  If you aren't overclocking anything then it's probably software induced.  Good luck!
     

  • Neo2 Platinum: 4gb Memory issues

    Hi,
    I have just installed 2 sets of Corsair TWINX2048-3200C2PT (pair of 1024 MByte DDR SDRAM). This means in total I have 4 x 1gb modules. These are currently running at 2-3-3-6. However the system is only picking up 3gb. I understand the motherboard wont pick up full 4gb but losing a whole gig is madness. I also understand about the single and double sided ram thing aswell. Is there anything to resolve this issue?

    Cell Menu, DRAM Configuration, H/W memory hole Remapping & S/W memory hole Remapping available there.
    i done this for both H/W memory and S/W memory. It seems that it is now picking up 4gb in the bios but only 3gb in windows.

  • 4x512 Dimms @ 400DDR @ 1T on K8N Neo2 Platinum NForce3...

    just wondering if someone here managed to get 4x512 Megs Dimms @ 400mhz @ 1T on K8N Neo2 Platinum NForce3 running on a64 3000+ Venice flawlessly...
    Thank you in advance

    Quote from: bejon2000 on 25-October-05, 19:40:25
    The enhanced Venice core basically made it possible to run 4x512 at DDR400 speed ( used to be 333mhz for some early cores ).
    I´ve ordered a new 146 Opteron for socket 939 and it will be interesting to see if these "quality" cores handle RAM the same way as Venice or if they do it in a better way.
    Be sure to post your findings when you install your spanking new Opteron

  • SP2010 Foundation Post Install issues on development workstation - Database and Services

    Just recently installed SP2010 Foundation for a development workstation.  Platform isWin7 X64 pro, SQL 2008 (Developer edition)
    (1) Looks like search has some configuration issues.  This is in the Windows event log
    The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Administration.SPSearchJobDefinition (ID 38eefca2-d092-47f4-a833-23f8280c5f63) threw an exception. More information is included below.
    The device is not ready.  
    (2) In Central Admin > Servers in Farm
    Status - "Upgrade Available", 
    (3) In Central Admin > Manage Database Upgrade Status
    Sveral of the Datbase(s) mention that upgrade is recommended, but one in particular mentions that the DB is too old?
    WSS_Search_GHHTY
    SPSearchDatabase
    Database is too old and upgrade is required
    Huh?  
    (4) Looking at my local SQL 2008 instance that SP2010 created, I see several DB's with "Config" in the name along with a guid on the end of the name.  Is the result of re-running the configuration wizard several times while
    I was correcting install issues?

    here is question, i am assuming its fresh install not upgrade...
    when you run the config wizard( you mentioned many times), which option you select from 2nd try to on ward....cannot disconnect this server from farm?
    are you using any script to install ?
    I would say run the config wizard without disconnecting and this server will host CA option.
    from the central admin > manager server in farm...on top you will see farm version and config database name. note it
    from the Manage database Upgrade status page note all the db names
    now match it on sql and keep those and all other should gone now as a clean process.
    Please remember to mark your question as answered &Vote helpful,if this solves/helps your problem. ****************************************************************************************** Thanks -WS MCITP(SharePoint 2010, 2013) Blog: http://wscheema.com/blog

    and Illustrator.

    Hi davidd61713525,
    Sorry for not getting back to you sooner.
    Unfortunately, it looks like something is wrong with the file system and the installer can't see the root drive to install to.  A Google search returns numerous results affecting various products and the recurring theme is that something is wrong with the disk.  There are many recommendations from various sources, but nothing definitive.
    Here's a similar thread over on the Apple forums:
    Broken Installer Permissions | Apple Support Communities
    And a similar older one:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1203509
    I would try the following options:
    Try using the PKG installer. This is used Mac SysAdmins to install Flash Player within their organization and uses a slightly different installer path, which may or may not work.
    Some people have had success with disk and permissions repair some have not.  You can try running a disk and permissions repair.  After the disk and permissions repair is complete, reboot the system and try to install again using either the online installer (get.adobe.com/flashplayer) or the offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page in the ‘Still having problems’ section.
    If these options do not work, I'd reach out to Apple support to see if they have a suggestion.  If you do find a resolution to this, please let me know.  I'll be happy to share it with people that encounter the problem in the future.

  • K8n neo install issues

    My son has a k8n neo2 Platinum with a GF 6600, dual core 3800, 1 gig ram, IDE drives. The problem we are having is when installing software.  Even with XP there were three files it could not read so we had to skip them. The games do the same thing, it took days to get Counter Strike to load. WoW we had to copy to the hard drive then install after many attempts. Now he's trying to load Lord of the Rings and its stopping on a large data file. We have swapped CD drives around and it doesn't matter. I installed new drivers today, still the same. Not sure what to do, any thoughts?    Alan 

    Don't know what kind of ram, two 512 sticks, OS is billy gates xp no service packs. Power supply is whatever came with the case, CPU is dual core 3800, don't know what city. Bios is 1.9 to support the dual core. Look like I am the only one having this problem.
    Once I have the money I'll up grade his computer and I'll take his old stuff and install Linux on it and see what happens.

    Made sure the disks are clean? I'd call Apple on an install issue if it's new or if you suspect a damaged disk and you're the registered user.

  • Webutil install issue

    Hello,
    I have a strange WebUtil install issue on 10gIAS 10.1.2.0.2. I downloaded the 1.0.6 WU version and put it into a webutil directory under forms (which the pre-configuration of AS seem to assume) and when I call the forms servlet with ?config=webutil the "RegisterWebUtil - Loading WebUtil Version 1.0.6" shows but the main applet doesn't load. The webutil HTML template is found and looks OK in View Source but no applet. The config section has a archive_jini but it behaves as if the main jar can't be found(?) Nothing extra in the jinit-console, even at log level 5. webutil.cfg is copied to forms/server and frmwebutil.jar to forms/java.
    Suggestions appreciated,
    Nik
