Now I would like to be sure what is unworking properli Mother board or processor before sending it back.
Thanks in advance

Congratulation Guys
What I did is try again to start my computer (we never know) but still dead.
So how you talk to me about the power supply and I had nothing to do that trying everthing I can, I conncted my old one to my motherboard and startup. Ho surprise the processor fan and graphik card works again ! How my old power supply have no plug for processor I had to stop it and I tried to plug the normal power It works again
How is that possible It's very strange !
But now I was so afraid that my processor burned and my motherboard too
How to be sur that come from my power supply and also how to get it back to the shop if it's working now but I don't want to burn my computer
This power must be a good one It's a Thermaltake Xacer pure power 410W
Thanks for your help, I had already some doubs about my mother board I'm a new user of MSI

MSI K8N Neo Platinum with Vapochill Case problems - Help anyone. :)

Hi all,
Had a bit of a tricky problem and as Im new to this board I have no idea what could be causing this.
First all all system specs:
Athlon 64 3700+ Clawhammer
MSI K8N Neo Platinum -
1 gig Corsair XMS ProL Low Latency Ram (2 x 512mb)
Nvidia Gefore 6600GT
1 x WD Raptor 10000rpm HD
NEC 2500a DVD writer.
Eye-T 550w PSU.
Vapochill SE Case with installed Vapochill Phase change cooling.
Here are photos of it in its present state, you will notice that it isnt installed in the case at the moment.
The reason for that is because the two wont work together and I want them to so so bad...
So, hopefully someone here can save the day for me - here goes.
I have tested the Motherboard and all other componants outside of the case and everything runs smoothly and there are no problems what so ever, great.
I have also retested the Vapochill case with another motherboard and that also works without a hitch.
The problem comes when I insall the MSI board into the system, all hooked with a really basic setup, PSU, Case cooling, CPU and Ram. Flick the on switch on the power suply and the system turns on for around 1/2 a second then turns off again. I found this strange because it soundnt come on at all until I press the power button.
If I press the power button the same thing will happen over and over.
I have tried a different powersupply and this does nothing at all.
I have checked for shorts and there is no possible way it is shorting on anything.
I have a fan plugged in where the CPU fan would go and this doesnt help.
I have taken it back out and tested it again and it still works ok.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Are there any secret Bio's menu's that would have an option that would solve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Glenn

When you are running the MoBo standalone, what are you connecting to the Power, Reset, HDD, etc. pins ? Are you using the wires from the Vapochill case, or something else ? It looks like a single cable with an intermittent switch (red/white cable). I once had a similar sort of problem and it was because I hadn't connected up (the incredibly fiddly) cables correctly. Other than that, I would have gone for a short of some sort - but you have checked that already, so . . . .
As to the system starting to power-up when you switch on the PSU, I wouldn't worry too much about this. It seems to happen from time to time with some of my systems - amongst other things, the BIOS can be set to resume to previous state after a power-fail.

K8N Neo D-bracket right usb dead after restart?

I have k8n Neo fsr. When I restart, right usb on d-bracket is dead, until i unplug and replug device, then it functions. Why? Faulty D-Bracket or...?

I used speedfan 4.20 a bit and deinstalled it some time ago, haven't tried 4.21. I used only left port on d-bracket and it was ok (it it the port away from leds). Recently I started using both, and I have problems with the port closer to leds, the other one's fine. Drivers are 5.10.
PS I tried shutting down ups and restarting, no change. I will try to unplug power cable, but I doubt that will help...

Hello every body i need very urgent help,
i need help on above mainboard bios conf. i will attach two seperate hdd (120 GB sata II) and i will setup W2003 standart 32bit ed.
if possible i won't use any raid configurations, but i need speed
how should i conf. bios and which controller shouşd i use silicon or nvidia or how and wich has to be used.
corecction about my configuration
Mainboard   MSI MS 7100 K8N Neo 4 Diamond (NF4 SLI,GLAN,SATA)
CPU      AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (2.0GHz,1024K Cache,S939) BOX

Hello !!
The Bios configuration depends on many factors.....but we do not know anything about your configuration. ( CPU, RAM, Powersupply.....)
If you need HDD Speed, RAID 0 will be a good Option and you should consider it.
Both Controllers, Silicon Image & nvidia, have the same speed. But i think you can not attach Optical drives to the Silicon Image Controller. ( if someone has other experiance please post )
Good Luck

K8N Neo Platinum - No post ... help!

Hey folks,
Refer to this thread for info ... Help ... my pc won't turn on!
I'll start off with the system specs so you'll have an idea of what I'm going to be talking about :
AMD Athlon64 3000+
MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Corsair CMX-512 PC3200
WD 160gb SATA
MSI 5900xt
Antec SmartBlue 350w
So I bought the parts ... 2 months ago. I used it for about 1 month ...ran like a dream. Died ... RMA'ed the motherboard, and a month later, I get it. I assemble the system, doesn't post the first time I turn it on. Shut it off, posts ... attempts to log onto the Windows partition that is on the hard drive i used it with ... gets into Windows logon screen, and crashes. On several occasions, I noticed the system switched off on its on for some reason. Switch off the system, try again, and it crashes. Switch it off (by holding on the case switch, then switching off the power supply). This time, I switch the PS back on again, and the system fans start, but nothing comes on screen, or posts. I noticed on the video card, the fan starts up, but then stops after it realizes that the system hasn't posted (heatsink is cool). I know the video card works because I just pulled it out of my spare system ... and it works just fine. I have no idea what is going on. I don't know what to do. Any help is greatly apprecitated.
Quite frankly, I am rather dissappointed with MSI at the moment. I fork out my hard earned money for a good motherboard, it dies out of the blue for no reason, I RMA it, and a MONTH later, i get a crappy refurb (looks quite used too!). Is there any customer satisfaction involved? I would like to get on the phone and actually talk to some one about this.
Thanks guys!

Just remembered to attach the diagnostic d-bracket. I get red, red, green, red.
Hopefully this'll help.
EDIT: So I cleared the CMOS. I can get the system to POST now. This posting thing is still iffy ... posts sometimes, and decides not to at other times. Only problem is, is a stability problem. I managed to get the system to boot into the WinXP install I had before. Just freezes out of the blue. Also froze when I tried to install a new copy of windows. Freezes on random occasions. The motherboard I had previously booted on first try, and installed without any problems. It never froze, or crash. Why would this motherboard crash?
Also found that the fan on the v-card does not spin when it is not active. It spins fine when there is something displayed on the monitor.
Bios is V1.4. CPU temp at around 38-40°C. NB temp at around 28-30°C. Temps seem to be normal.

Msi K8N Neo with Athlon 64 3200

I just recieved the parts today 1x Msi K8N Neo Mobo and 64 3200 procesor, so far ive only been running it a few hours and allready i have had a lot of problems with it, first off the temp of my cpu is at 64oc when idol, and about 72oc on full load, I have the Coolermaster Hyper6 KHC-V81 heatsink with 2 mounted fans, and im sure thats more then enough to cool any proccessor?? Next up after restarting the computer the mouse/keyboard do not work when you get back into windows. i have no idea why tried all sorts of problems such as reinstalling drivers, Next up the board reads the default clock speed at 2.2ghz, am i wrong but isnt it meant to be 2.0ghz, both in bios and windows, it also says that my cpu has 512kb l2 cache when it is meant to have 1mb.
Needless to say i am not a happy bunny
if any1 has any ideas on what could be causing this please let me know as soon as possible before i throw my rig out the window
P.s The multiplier is on defualt, but it is 11x, isnt it soposed to be 200X 10??

As with the K8T800 board, MS products have been a thorn in the side. Try some cheap-o mouse and keyboard until you get your system stabilized. Make sure your BIOS settings accept OS2 and Plug 'n Play...turn off legacy support. Make note of all BIOS settings and which ones are enabled/disabled.....'cause we will be looking for your assistance on a lot of initial boot-up questions! Thanks very much =DNA=

Msi K8n Neo- No Post!!! Help Me! :-)

My wife restarted the computer after installing some stuff and she is getting no post
Had her check out the D Bracket and she said all but #3 are greeen/yellow.
Is this one the Resource Assignment ? If so anyone have a flipping clue this means?

I had that happen when installing the new cat drivers 4.7. I sat their dummiefied for a few minutes staring at a blank screen, so I hit the reset button and back to desktop. Don't know what happen but hopefully It won't do it again.

Msi k8n neo 2 help please

hi everyone
just a query hope someone can help, i have a k8n neo 2 with a amd 3.5 chip, i just benchmarked my system to see what it was running like and my results were not what i expected, my cpu was just over 8000 can this really be right i gathered it would be over 10000.
maybe i,m wrong but could someone please tell me what the average reading would be for a motherboard and 3.5 chip.
thanks
my specs
msi k8n neo 2
athlon 64 3.5 cpu
ati radeon 9800 pro
2x 512 ddr 3200 crucial ram
400 watt psu

You were being asked a question in a funny way instead of slamming you directly. As you don't care to answer the question on what you were benchmarking with and the simple fact that there are hundreds of proggies that can be used in benchmmarking we can't answer you as it stands. However since you have taken an attitude about this rather than take a bit of ribbing and giving an answer as well as shouting by the use of all caps... You now have a warning and the thread is closed.
I strongly suggest you read the forum rules as they will explain about things like giving complete info on a post so you can actually receive an answer and not PO'ing off people that could otherwise give you an answer. There is a whole section in the rules discussing curtesy.

K8N Neo Platinum keeps shutting down

I have just built a new system with a K8N Neo Platinum, Athlon 64 3400+ with retail heatsink and fan, 1GB of Corsair TWINX1024-3200C2 DDR400 memory, eVGA GeForce 6800 GT, two 80 GB Maxtor SATA drives in an Antec Sonata case with its TruePower380 watt PS, and my existing NEC 2500 DVD-RW and a DVD-ROM drive and floppy. The system keeps shutting down before I can get WindowsXP installed. It seems to be a heat issue, since its runs the longest after a lengthy shut down, but the bios hardware monitor shows the system temp stable at 33 and the CPU temp at 39.
If I let it idle, it continues to run, but it frequently shuts down when I put a load on it, such as saving the bios configuration or starting Windows during XP setup. I have been able to get XP installed once and started to install the Nforce drivers, but it shut down in the middle of this. Windows files seem to be corrupted frequently. It seems to be somewhat better after I pulled the Athlon heat sink and reapplied a thinner layer of Arctic Silver II. I note that the heatsink does not attach as tightly as the one on my Athlon 1800+. The heatsink fins always seem to be cool to the touch. I notice that the machine usually (but not always) shuts down on a keystroke. I am using a PS/2 keyboard since my USB keyboard doesn’t seem to work.
I understand this motherboard has some issues with temperature sensing, and I would like to get XP installed so I can flash to a later bios and try some moderate overclocking.
I am considering going to an aftermarket CPU cooler, installing a larger power supply, or replacing the MB. I am also considering switching the RAID configuration on the SATA drives from 0 (striping) to 1 (mirrored) or just turning off the RAID function until I get this fixed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Trickster2

Thanks for the suggestion. The Antec 380 has 18 amps on the 12 volt rail, 35 on the +5 and 28 on the +3.3, and I have seen numerous posts of people successfully using this PS for this MB. I have tried reducing the power demand by switching to an old PCI video card, an old stick of 256MB memory, unplugging the optical drives, floppy and case fans, but the machine still shuts down just as quickly.
I finally got XP installed, but haven't been able to update the BIOS yet.
Is there anyway to know whether it's the CPU, the PS or something else causing the shut down?

K8N Neo 2 dying?

Hi, in having some trouble with my K8N neo 2 platinum lately.
Short story: the pc started freezing just after starting regulary(at first in windows, later on it didnt make it past bootscreen), after clearing the CMOS it errored that there was something wrong with the bios, so i used the bios recovery method. This at first did not work, but after clearing the CMOS again it did boot once. But when i tried to reboot it it just froze a few times on the boot screen, and now it doesnt do anything anymore.
Long story:
It started a week or two ago when my pc occasionly freezed, usually within 5 min after booting. This became more frequent as time passed by, two days ago things went really down hill. The pc started freezing at the boot screen, with the leds indicating that it was initialzing the cpu. After rebooting and letting it cool down a few times i finally got into windows. But the next time i booted it up it had the same problem all over, which got even worse: it didn't even make it to the boot screen. It didn't gave a signal to the monitor, and the leds inidicated a problem with decompressing the bios image to the RAM.
After this occured i first tried to reset the CMOS, by changing the jumper on the mainbord, this had effect, but the right one. After clearing the CMOS it started the boot blocker and gave the error that the bios was damaged\missing. So after this problem i first replaced the bios battery, and then cleared the cmos again. This didn't help so i used the bios recovery method as explained on this site. After this the pc just kept rebooting just after the boot screen. I then cleared the CMOS again, after which it booted, but frooze while loading windows. After another reboot it managed to start windows, but after rebooting it just froze on boot screen again. And now, a few reboots later it doesnt do anything at all.
My best guess is that this mainbord is in need of an RMA or replacement, what do you guys think?
Specs: MSI K8N neo 2 platinum
AMD 3500
ASUS AX800XT
2x 1GB Kingston PC3200 ddr

What i forgot to look at was the led bracket, it now indicates that the CPU is damaged. I cleared the CMOS again, and pulled one ddr stick out, this had no effect at all.
Does this mean the CPU is no more, or could it still be the mainbord? because the trouble i had with the bios are kinda hard to explain with a damaged CPU, or is that a stupid thing to think?
Is there someway to test which part died without using another s939 pc?

K8N Neo Platinum will shutdown in about a minute

My K8N Neo Platinum will shutdown after about a minute of powering up. The front power LED will flash slowly and I am unable to power it backup without shutting off the main switch to the power supply and waiting awhile before I try again.
I can watch the PC health status within BIOS for a few minutes and all is well until I press any key. Once I hit a key the system shuts down.
The PC Health info...
System Temp    45C
CPU Temp     43C
CPU Fan Speed    3139-3154 RPM
Vcore       1.48-1.50V
+12.0V      12.03
+3.3V     3.29V
+5.0V    5.02-5.04V
Battery     3.22V
+5VSB       5.13-5.15V
NOTE: CPU temperatures start out at about 38C that seems pretty high to me. The room is not close to being 38C or 100 degrees Fahrenheit
In the BIOS I have...
- Loaded Fail Safe Defaults
- Disabled quick boot (so the memory will be tested)
- Removed logo displays (so I can see the memory being tested)
One memory module fails! But the other seems to test OK. With the bad module removed the system still shuts down.
My equipment...
ANTEC Sonata case with the built in 380W power supply.
K8N Neo Platinum
Athlon 64 3200+ processor
ATI All-in-Wonder 9600
Two Centon 512MB PC3200 memory modules
For testing I removed all IDE devices except for one good hard drive
NOTE: The system will boot up… but will shutdown as described above!
Do we have any ideas on how to isolate this further?
Thanks
JJ

Ok, had to reply to this one--had the exact same issue and this definitely is the weirdest experience I've ever had. (You can skip to the last paragraph for the short version).
I was having the exact same problem, turn on the power, go into the BIOS, all readouts look ok but then after about a minute it would shut off with a blinking power light. Would turn it off and back on, sometimes it would just get hung and I'd have to reset the BIOS with the jumper.
After about an hour of taking apart and putting the system back together over and over it occured to me--when does a power light flash? When the system is suspended. I also noticed that when I actually made it into the BIOS, the moment the system always shut down was when I hit a key on the keyboard (thought that was odd). So I unplugged my keyboard and let it sit at the POST error for not having a keyboard. I noticed when I did this it didn't shut itself down.
So then I wondered if the keyboard could possibly be sending some kind of signal the BIOS was interpreting as a "sleep" command. So off to CompUSA to get another keyboard. Mine is PS/2 but I thought maybe I'd try out a USB one to see if that would work out. I figured the PS/2 port was messed up and had an internal short or something.
Unplugged the PS/2 keyboard, plugged in a new USB keyboard and was able to make it into the BIOS, then I was able to actually boot Windows! (kept my existing Windows installation for the time being). I wasn't out of the woods yet though, Windows hadn't loaded the USB driver yet so I had no keyboard/mouse when I got to Windows (and I even had the BIOS support option for USB KB/Mouse turned on, but that didn't seem to make a difference). So, just for the heck of it, I unplugged the PS/2 to USB converter that came with my "USB" keyboard (thank goodness it was using an adapter) and plugged it into the PS/2 port again. This time the PC booted correctly and I've been using it with the new keyboard in the PS/2 port since with no problems. The old keyboard in the PS/2 slot still makes the system power off after a few seconds.
This has turned out to be one of the most bizarre scenarios I've ever been faced with. For reference, my original keyboard was a PS/2 Logitech Deluxe 104 KB, and I replaced it with a cheapo $15 Memorex (was just for testing but hey, it works now).
So anyway, this is absolutely crazy, but try using a USB keyboard or even a completely different keyboard if your system shuts "off" with the power light flashing after 5 - 30 sec after you turn it on.

MSI K8N Neo Platinum - no Qool & Quiet

hy,
i spend the whole day reading lots of threads about enabling cool&quiet but in my case nothing worked.
- Athlon 64
- MSI NEO PLATINUM
- BIOS 1.4
- ProcessorDriver 1.1.00
- C&Q enabled in Bios
- xp spII
The moment i try to switch to Minimal Powersavings the system immediately
freezes when i press ok.
If i could enable it, it might work, but i cant reach this level.
Any Suggestions? probably BiosBeta 1.5 will fix something?
thanx,
mike

huaaaa....
i postet as well in a german thread and there was a reply wich did it:
bios -> B6 did it.

check this out m8, could be somerthing to do with it.
Also make sure you got latest drivers etc etc.
Try disabling the Nvidia/ati speed up setting in bios. hit shift + f2 alt + f3 I think in bios - brings up these options

K8N Neo Platinum killed my X800 Pro

I installed my new K8N Neo Platinum.
I had an existing BBA X800 Pro in my old Epox 8RDA which I moved to my new MB.
After firing up the K8N Neo, my X800 Pro was dead.
The X800 Pro was fine just before I put it in the K8N Neo Platinum MB.
One can reasonably assume it was the K8N Neo that killed my X800 Pro - what else could kill it?
One thing that I did wrong was to not attach the smaller MB PSU plug (the 4 pin CPU power supply plug - I attached the other wider one), however, that should not kill the video card !!!
I thought the MB was dead because the CPU fan was not spinning but after attaching the power supply plug, the MB started and CPU fan was spinning, however, my beloved X800 Pro was dead.
I tried my X800 Pro in another computer and even reinstalled my old Epox MB, but to no avail. My X800 Pro is officiially dead.
I'll be sending a $400 bill to MSI for a replacement

I know it's dead because it says something like this on bootup:
YOUR VIDEO CARD POWER CABLE IS NOT CONNECTED, PLEASE RTFM
It didn't use those exact words but that was the meaning.
After that mesage, the computer will not continue with the boot process - it just sits there like big lump of expensive rock
The power cable is connected to the video card so the message is erroneous.
I've tried the video card in another computer and the results are the same with the same message.
The video card is dead.
I closely examined the video card and I see no signs of damage. I paid close attention to the power supply socket on the video card and I could not see any damange and the soldering looks intact.
It might be simple to fix the video card but I wouldn't know how to do it.
