Issues with powering 875p neo

Hello,
I am having some problems with the 875p neo, which seems to be the consensus here.  After changing the memory clock setting from 2.5 5 5 8 to 2 2 2 6, and vga to 64 to 128, voltage from 2.5 to 2.7, the computer upon powering up, the led light goes on, the cd lights go on, the monitor light stays orange, you can hear the fans working and otherwise appears to be booting up with the exception of a blank screen.  When I hit the reset button the monitor light turns green and boots up with no problems.  I set the bios settings back to factory settings, and restored my windows back to a previous day ruling out any possible conflicts.  It still happens.
After all of the above, I installed the live update from the website to upgrade the bios, and when performing the autosearch feature, it becomes non-responsive on "mainboard driver version".  I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it again and it hangs up at the same place.
Also, the hdd led light doesn't work with IDE harddrives
These are the pc specs
875p Neo motherboard
Intel P4 processor
1024 mb of Corsair ddr3200 RAM
Gforce 4 128mb graphics card
Soundblaster Audigy soundcard
60 gig Western digital main harddrive
250 gig Western Digital slave harddrive (both hooked up onboard with an ide cable.
Creative PC-DVDrom
Cendyne lightning iv cd burner
Any help would be appreciated.

I see you dumped the board, but to run a Sempron you have to update the bios to version 1.30. To solve errors in temp readings you want version 1.40.
I know you have to have a chip on the board to reflash the bios, but in all fairness, the Semprons came out after the board did, so having them not work without a reflash is understandable.

  • Problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R when tyring to use x4 Crucial 512MB DDR modules

    Hi all
    I have a problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R when tyring to use x4 512MB DDR modules. At first the system seem fine then it just hangs on me. All modules are exactly same and I have tried updating my bios and adjusting the settings but nothing works. My system is fine when using x2 512MB moduels. I have searched the forum and found no clear answer although there are other people with this problem. Please can anyone let me know if there is anything I can do with my current configuration to make the x4 512MB DDR work?
    From other posts I have learned so far that I either have to buy Paired modules from the manufacturer (which is no use because I bought my first x2 DDR a year ago) or only use x2 and now Dabs isnt taking the other x2 that I just bought because there is nothing wrong with the modules themselves (its the mobo).
    I built my system from scratch and wouldnt have been able to have done it without previous assistance so thanks in advance for any help

    Relaxing the timings will enable your RAMs to run at higher latencies so that they do not need to go extra mile to catch up with the transfer rates with the FSB.
    Lowering the frequencies is like underclocking a speedy twin turbo to a standard single turbine which means lowering of speed so that the RAMs can run lower than expectations which'll be able to provide room for o/c'ing back near to its original frequency.

  • Replaceing NB fan with heatsink (875P Neo-LSR)

    I'd like people's opinion on wether or not you think a Zalman ZM-NB32J North Bridge Heatsink will be enough to replace the NB fan on an MSI 875P Neo-LSR. I would hate to damage the board.

    I have been using MSI boards for a year or so now and the northbridge hsf unit has yet to disapoint me. Do not bother replacing the NB HSF unless it does indeed fail as you will lose your warranty if you replace it.

  • Probems with msi 875p neo Fis2r and network controller driver

    Hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me with my msi 875p neo FIS2R and problems with the network controller driver/network card.
    I'm running xp on a computer my nextdoor neighbour gave me. I got it working fine  with service pack 3 installed but then installed a bunch of windows updates last night and the computer would switch itself off before windows could start. Now I reinstalled xp and unfortunately it does not recognise the network controller/card at all now. I tried installing the intel network controller drivers but it stopped because it said no intel adapter/card was installed/present. Could anyone please help with suggestions? I tried running everest and under newtwork it doesnt list intel network adapters but I'm pretty certain it is. Again any suggestions?

    Clear CMOS with your PSU unplugged from A/C power.  Then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS and retest.

    will try that and post later if it worked... ive never cleared cmos, this sort of thing is relatively new to me but thanks again

  • How to disable AGP Fast Write with MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R ??

    How can I disable AGP Fast Write with the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R ? I can't find an option for this in the BIOS !

    You wont usually find this option in most MB BIOSES , as the only Option that SOME BIOSES Have is the Option to enable, disable SBA (Side Band Addressing) for the AGP Bus....In order for you to Disable or Enable the FW, You Must have the Option in your Vidio Drivers Controll Panel.....If you have a NVIDIA Card, you Must go to  http://www.guru3d.com  And Download the program "NVHardpage" and then Open the Program and you wil have the Choice to Enable these options and they will then appear in your Vidio driver CP >> "Activate "Coolbitts" (this is NVIDIAS Overclocking Utility) Activate "Harware Options", and then Activate "AGP Options" and finally Activate "Performance Options"........If you have a ATI Card then you must Download one of thier "Tweeking Utilities".......I will Post the Direct "Link" for NVHardpage in a Minute, just say yes to the Lic.

  • How come "INTEL APP ACCELERATOR" doesn't work with the 875p NEO?

    i tried both versions, the raid and normal. says my hardware isnt compatible or cant be found or something like that. anyone got it running on there 875p? is there a patch or something, adifferent version im missing or something?

    On the Intel site where(I hope) you downloaded the APP Accelerator, if you scroll down the page http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/iaa/> you will come across a line that says "Supported Chipsets". Click on it and read it. It tells you everything you need to know. The Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility, or INF Chipset utility, is already optimized for these chipsets. Use that instead. That is what is used for the new chipsets. DO NOT GORGET to uninstall APP Accelerator, or you might have problems. Good Luck!

  • [875P Neo Series] 875P NEO FIS2R - Bootup delay with disk attached to Promise RAID

    Hi,
    I have a problem with my 875P NEO FIS2R mobo. I just added a 400GB SATA RAID-0 array to the Promise controller and now I get a 50 second bootup delay after the BIOS has run through everything and beeped and before the first WinXP splash screen.
    I boot up from a 160GB SATA RAID-0 array on the intel ICH5R controller. Both arrays work fine from within Windows. I have two DVD drives on the ICH5R PATA connection but nothing else on the Promise.
    If I disable the Promise controller in BIOS the delay goes away.
    I have tried disabling SMART, turning off the quick-boot option with no effect.
    When I first installed my system I tested performance with booting from a single SATA drive on ICH5R vs Promise and I noticed the same issue, but didn't care then because I only needed one disk so I just kept Promise disabled in BIOS.
    Any ideas how I can get around this?
    Regards,
    Jonathan

    Sorry I have been a away for a few days.
    Details requested...

    If the Promise controller was out of the picture (Disabled), and you have the SCSI adaptor and its devices setup:
    1. What is the adaptor's SCSI ID?
    7
    Quote
    2. List devices, position in the chain and their corresponding SCSI ID's.
    #7 Adaptec 2930CU card
    #4 Nikon Coolscan LS30 scanner
    #3 Umax Astra 1220S scanner
    #5 Iomega ZIP 100 drive
    Quote
    3. What type of terminination are you using?
    Adaptec card has auto-termination.
    ZIP drive has a termination connector attached.
    Quote
    4. Are the devices in the chain functioning properly?
    Yes.
    Quote
    I agree that your problem is your SCSI controller. There may not be anything actually wrong with it. The 2930 was an agressive controller card and its BIOS simply may not coexist with your motherboard's BIOS optimally. Even with the BIOS disabled, it may be competing with the motherboard's request for handlers.
    You may want to check to see if there is a BIOS update on Adaptec's website. Adaptec usually released 1 or 2 updates for each SCSI generation they produced. It may or may not help but we need to make sure you have the latest BIOS released.
    Unfortunately, this card cannot be reflashed.
    Quote
    At any rate, I think you have found the component which is responsible for the delay. I'm willing to assist in diagnosing the issue but I need you to provide the specific information I'm requesting.
    Also, try to do a CTRL-Pause to catch exactly what the BIOS version is and any other information which is showing up with the BIOS disabled. The SCSI adaptor BIOS, in fact, should not be enabled in your SCSI configuration as you have described thus far.
    Adaptec AHA 2930CU SCSI BIOS v1.34.1.
    There seems to be a difference between BIOS and host adapter BIOS. You always get the BIOS screen, but you can disable the host adapter BIOS if it is not required.
    I am pretty sure it is not the SCSI chain that is wonr because the pause happens with nothing connected to the card.

  • Anyone using CORSAIR 3200C2PT with 875P Neo ?

    Has anyone been using a pair of CORSAIR TWINX CMX256A-3200C2PT Memory modules with an 875P Neo FiS2R motherboard?
    How they work ?
    Did they needed any change in BIOS to work or they were plug in and play ?
    Thanks for info !

    Thank you for all replis.
    So CORSAIR is not a good and reliable  Brand ?
    I thought it was considered one of the best but by what you are saying I get the impression that it's memory is not as reliable as others'.......
    Anyone else having experiences with this particular memory and their 875P Neo FiS2R motherboard ?
    What do you exactly mean that CORSAIR does not run in Turbo or Ultra Turbo ? Just this particularly modules I got or NO Corsair whatsoever will be able to perform in Turbo or Ultra Turbo and under no conditions can do any PAT ?

  • HELP: Cannot get 200GB Maxtior Drive to show up on system with 875P Neo board

    I just put together a system with a 875P Neo board, Intel 3.2Ghz HT Extreme Edition CPU, 32GB Scsi Drive on an Adaptec SCSI card, and two Maxtor Drives.  The First is a 120GB which set as the primary on IDE1 (DVD Reader & DVD Writer are on IDE2) and the second drive is a Maxtor 200Gb Drive set as the primary on IDE3.  When the system boots up It sees the 200GB on IDE3 as DMA6 and proceeds.  When I look at it in the Bios Setup the two DVD roms appear and the 120GB drive appears, nothing appears in the IDE3 slots.
    The system runs Windows XP off the the SCSI drive , which is derive letter C.
    I am running the 1.9 bios I downloaded a last week off the MSI web site.
    Have I set something wrong in the bios settings?
    I do not see the CPU listed as well.
    Any sugestions?  I am trying to avoid going out a buying an ATA/133 Ultra DMA IDE card.
    Thanks for the help,

  • Is the 875P Neo-FIS2R a bad mb?

    Like the title says:
    Is the 875P Neo-FIS2R a bad motherboad? I can understand that tis is a place where you will find more problems then anything else. But I mostly see motherboard specific problems, that occur on many mb's of the same type. I find that a bit disturbing...
    A friend of mine never had any troubles with it, then again, he might not tell me, or he is lucky. But based on his 'good' experience I have a 875P lying here right now.
    I cannot use it yet since I am missing a graphic card to go with it, I expect that to arrive next Tuesday. Im a bit nervous now.....
    Another question while I'm at it: will both controllers (the Intel and the Promise) work, or are the mutual exclusive. So I guess I mean is: do I have 3 P-ATA connectors on my mb or either 2 or 1??
    If it is the latter option, that would be lame, then I would have to insert my PCI card with a pomise controller....

    I have to say the 875P is definitely NOT a bad motherboard as long as you have approved components. It works very well for "standard" usage. It has all of the top features from Intel - 875P chipset, 10Gbit CSA, ICH5R, ADI audio, firewire, etc.
    I am concerned with some things MSI could/should have done better in the first place:
    1. Wrong NB temp (and it seems to be affected by NBFAN)
    2. No SFAN speed monitoring though it wouldn't have cost more to put it in ... X(
    3. Slow frequency of BIOS release or update fixes vs other "top tier" motherboard manufacturers
    4. More issues than others with popular memory modules
    5. Confusing or "poorly documented" BIOS features/interface leave tweakers less in control
    6. Corecell, DOT & MAT, BIOS are still a work in progress
    When you start looking for topnotch performance and stability via tweaking OR major overclocking - that is where it falls short - contrary to what their marketing says.
    Read this thread  where an 875P owner compares his new Asus P4C800E Deluxe (after his 875P Neo failed and had to go for RMA). I summarize his "review" here:
    Quote
    Criteria on MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R vs ASUS P4C800E DeLuxe
    Ease in setting up P4C800E
    Memory compatibility P4C800E
    Overclocking
    - setting options Neo
    - higher performance P4C800E
    - lower temperatures P4C800E
    - lower voltages P4C800E
    Video card compatibility Neo
    Hard drive performance Same
    Benchmark scores Est. 5% better on Asus vs MSI
    Extra Goodies:
    ASUS - ability to use USB ARMD devices and emulate them as floppies, HDD, and even CD-ROM
    MSI - AUTO overclocking (Captain, etc. on the Neo boards - 5%, 10% etc on the Asus boards) works much better
    quote:
    ... the Asus is much less of a problem child when setting up. So my final ruling is, don't expect much more from the ASUS board, but if you are fed up with your 875P Neo, or are returning/RMA-ing your board anyway, you might be pleasantly surprised with what the ASUS P4C800/E/Deluxe can do for you.
    I think you'll find similiar comparisons from 865PE Neo2 users who had tried the P4P800...
    So far many have said they're still keeping their MSI boards when RMA comes back
    Conclusions:
    - Good HW but FW/SW satsifactory~needs_improvement.  :]
    - If you don't do major tweaking , and want stability + full features, the 875P is a GOOD board overall, IMHO.  8)

  • 875P-Neo FIS2R v1.0 BIOS Problems

    Purchased PC in June w/875P-Neo w/1ea. 80G SATA, 2ea. 200G ATA-133 w/SATA Adapters as RAID 0, Windows Server 2003, NVidia TNT 32M AGP Video, Floppy, and Pioneer DVD-RW, using 2G Kingston DDR 400 Dual-Channel RAM.  PC in Box with 7 Case fans, and P4-2.8GHz 800FSB w/CNPS-7000 Copper Flower CPU Fan/HS.
    Once or twice per week W2K3 would lock up with basic desktop but no taskbar and no keyboard or mouse function (arrow moved, but that's all).  Tried all software and BIOS settings I could think of to no avail.  Downloaded and installed v1.6 from MSI and all seemed OK but as I was going through BIOS checking/changing settings as required my video would start jumping and dashes and underlines would appear randomly on screen.  Problem would get worse the longer I was in the BIOS setup.  I could not get W2K3 to boot after v1.6 so tried the recover process.  This appeared to work until I tried the re-boot after getting the 4 beeps.  Now all that happens is the BIOS wants to continuously recover from floppy beeping 4 times every time.  If I remove the floppy it would keep looking at the floppy drive forever, beeping once every now and then.
    I returned the PC to where I purchased it and they replaced the mainboard which seemed OK.  I had the tech flash the BIOS before bringing it home with 1.6.  After I got it home, I began getting the same behavior as before the recover process on the first MB (above).  I decided to see if I could get the system to take BIOS v1.4 since I have another computer with that version that is stable.  It worked!  So far the PC seems OK with v1.4 except I wanted some of the features in the new versions.
    What is going on with v1.6?  Have others had probems with this BIOS version?  Is v1.5 safe?
    BTW, I used the RAM Disk method of updating the BIOS everytime except during the recovery attempt.
    Thanks,
    UProsper

    Actually everything is brand new as of June and all components are matched.  The Video is a 4X AGP (1.5v) and has worked fine before the v1.6 BIOS.  The tech that installed my replacement MB told me the BIOS version in the MB originally was v1.2, but I didn't actually see the screen from the original BIOS before it was updated.  What's strange is two boards behaved the same with v1.6.  I did get the new MB to settle down with v1.4 and I have another computer with the 875P-Neo and v1.4 working fine.
    Either v1.6 has issues or there is something unique about my configuration that it has problems with.  I don't dare update my other computer (that is configured differently) to find out.  I really want some input from someone at MSI or someone who has experienced similar results with v1.6 and this board.  I am hoping there is something with 1.6 that will be fixed in the next release.
    Thanks,
    Steve

  • 875P Neo-FIS2R sound settings

    Hi,
    I just got this new board (875P Neo-FIS2R) and I'm mostly happy with it but just realize something...  After installing all provided driver in the box, after running liveupdate3 to make sure all driver are up to date, I got a problem with the onboard sound...  But before stepping to conclusion, I need your opinion/technical knowledge before buying a PCI soundcard like an Audigy...
    First, I cannot find any sound mixer that can allow me to set the bass or treble, adjust the balance etc...(if I look at the windows default mixer, I got bass and treble but they cannot be change)  Yes, I got this little icon from soundmax that allow me to change speaker setting (close together or far appart) and also I can change the environement setting like the sblive! and newer card to give specific ambient context like deep forest or bathroom (btw, for the last one, environnement setting, I can change to anything in the list but I do not hear any change... )  
    Second, for sound quality, I got chop and crop once in a while when I play mp3 or CD music...  Generally, I found the sound to be bizarre...  
    So, maybe it's me, but I really need your opinion on this to figure out if I need to install something else or if it's just a limitaton of the onboard sound...  I know asus P4C800 is also using Soundmax but the use the SoundMax 4XL which come with a great mixer and seems to be more convenient and versatil that the solution provided by MSI on this very high end board...  
    Thanks for your cooperation in helping me out...

        For wiring spec and speaker spec, I got a altec lansing sub + 2 satelite... wired with stock cable from altec lansing.  Very common setup...   I dont think that this is the issue...  Before, I had a NFORCE2 chipset with the MCP-T as the southbridge, which had a great onboard sound setup.  Sound was perfect and the mixer, also perfect (perfect for a gamer and mp3 playing)  So, if anyone else confirm that there is no mixer (with bass/treble control), I will have to live with it...  My next question would be: which PCI sound card do you recommend for great quality sound, 5.1,6.1 or 7.1, gaming performance and bug free with the 875P neo FIS2R ??
    Thanks

  • BUG with Memory CAS-Latency with MSI i848P Neo-LS BIOS

    I have a bug with MSI i848P Neo-LS BIOS. I try many MSI i848P with same trouble : the CAS Latency is always set to 2.0 even if the memory is CAS Latency 2.5.
    It doesn't depend on PSU or others things (graphics card,...).
    Try with Pentium 4C 2.6 or 2.8
    But I have just one brand of memory (but many different sticks). Chips reference are VT56DD32M8PC-5 (256 or 512 Mb). This memory are reference as Cas Latency 2.5
    If I set memory timings on SPD or manual : same result !!!
    If I set memory speed on AUTO or 400 MHz : same result  !!!
    If I set other timings, then they are save correctly (ie : RAS# precharge set to 3 or 4).
    I check timings with latest version of Memtest86+ V1.0 : http://www.memtest.org/
    and of course, I get many errors.
    The same memory tested on others mobo, give good results.
    I try Windows XP installation and I get....  blue screens.
    With some memory sticks : I have this message "memory timing too tighly",
    if I press F1 to continue: then I get a memory cas latency of 2.5 with memtest86+ and then no error.
    I try BIOS revision 1.0 (default) and 1.2: same result !!!
    So, as I said before, I think this is a bug with the BIOS. I agree that a BIOS cannot detect correctly all kind of memory, but if you set memory timings manualy, then it must be set as you want ! ?
    Any idea...
    Thanks

    H0 Alex,
    You are correct.I have the same problem with my 875p neo lsr on bios 1.9. TH0S 0S B0OS BUG.but everyone says your psu is not enough or your rams isnt  on the MSI Memory Compatability List.
    why all of rams I try give same result?
    MS0 boards works only with 10 or 20 ram.you don't say customer why you use this rams?
    why in asus boards many os these rams working properly.This rams isnt on the MSI Memory Compatability List.but working.I try many no name rams and results are very good in all of the tests.
    In my opinion MS0 bioses doesnt work good enough.

    bhanja_trinanjan,
    If you can get 2.3.3.6 Mushkin, OCZ, or Corsair, then you would be the set.
    PC-3200 or higher would be the way to go. If you ever plan on overclocking, then PC-4000 is the best option.
    Take Care,
    Richard
    Thanks for your help. I am trying to locate Corsair dealers in Kolkata(My hometown). Are there any known issues with the K8N Neo 2 FX? I bought this motherboard just a few days back and I am facing so many problems.
    Does this motherboard undervolt the AGP and RAM slots? Will I have to increase AGP and DDR voltage to make my system stable? Doesn't the raising of these voltages shorten the life of the video card and ram modules? I want to buy Corsair/OCZ/Mushkin. But in case it's unavailable, will Kingston RAM lead to an unstable system?
