K8n neo 3 and radeon 9600pro problem !

ok have anyone have the same problem with radeon 9600pro like me. the card is agp slot and when starting the computer the screen doesent react at all its stay blank. but when putting the radeon 8500 it starts if anyone could say where is the click.... thanks
the mainboard is k8n neo 3 gold

Make sure in the BIOS it is set to run from AGP, if there is that option.
the bios itself detects if you use a pci express or agp card in the AGR slot, you cant configure it.

There have been some issues with the 9600 series and 8X agp / agp fast writes.
Try forcing 4X agp and turning off agp fast writes in bios to see if it at least boots for you.
there are no settings like fastwrites or AGP mode. the AGR slot only works with cards which are compatible.
have a look http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/agr/7135agr.pdf
i had luck my card works and is not on this list

K8N Neo platinum + RADEON 9500PRO problems

Hi I got my AMD64 system up and running friday, but I got some major problems with the stability! The computer randomly "freezes to death", everything freezes, no bsod, only option is the sweet restart button :( This especially happens after I have quited games or 3dmark (which is really wierd). It is very unstable, often freezes right after boot in windows. I have now tested the system for an hour with a TNT2 card with no freezes. Could my problem be a hardware conflict? My voltages is normal (12v 3,3v and 5v are reportet ok by MBM5, with 12.10v on the 12v rail, btw mbm5 reported the same voltages with 9500pro installed).
The 9500PRO card worked fine on my old abit kt7a via 133a chipset and t-bird 1,4ghz.
Edit: I have all the newest drivers for all my HW + newst bios reported by msi live update (1.40)
HW:
MSI K8N NEO Platinum
AMD64 3000+
Radeon 9500PRO (now testing TNT2)
2 IDE disks and 1 s-ata disk
dvd-rw
4 case fan with coolermaster aerogate 2

dont worry about your memory- it'll prob be ok if memtest doesnt fire any errors. - its probably your PSU
For a start disconnect any extra fans you got running on your system
then boot and test it - if that works - the problem is your PSU - usually the main problem for the Athlon 64 boards - oh and any other crap like front function panels etc. etc.
If it is the PSU i'd recommend getting a Overclockers one - they rock - dont get the one I've got - it only JUST cuts it - i used to get the same probs as you until I disconnected all my internal fans - no probs now.
If its not the PSU - dunno mate - solly!
It probably is the PSU as you dont know your PSU loads - you need a minimum of around 20AMPS on the 12Volt rail.

Anyone have a K8N neo and using an ATI Radeon 9600xt?

I have a system with the K8N Neo board and have an ATI Radeon 9600xt video card.
I have some problems and wonder if it's the RAM.
If you have a similar setup using the 2 mentioned products, and your system is stable, please let me know what type of ram you have installed.
I'm really stuck. All drivers installed are the latest, including the beta driver for the ATI Radeon 9600xt.
Thanks for any input!
sonofdust

an update...
I just finished doing a number of passes of memtest86 on the memory, and came up with errors, so I'm looking into getting the memory replaced.
I'm going to check the recommended memory for the MB.
cheers!

Msi k8n neo platinum ps2 keyboard problem

Hi. I'm having issues with my msi k8n neo platinum motherboard. I've read about 50 posts on these forums regarding the supposed ps2 keyboard issues with recent msi boards. However none of them seems to address my current situation.
Like many others, when I power up my system the cpu fan spins for like 3 seconds then everything comes to a halt.
I tried many things to get my system to boot and the only thing that works is plugging my ps2 keyboard into the ps2 mouse port and moving the ps2 mouse into a usb port with an adapter.
It seems there's no hope for fixing the problem other than RMA'ing, but I thought I would add to the pile of complaints stacking up against the MSI boards.

if u had read the threads a little more u might have found a solution that seems to have worked 4 many - a usb keyboard usb Keyboard if u go this route dont forget to enable usb kb in bios
Edit: This Thread Summarises the situation PS2 keyboard/mouse causes random shutdowns or doesnt work

MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM (RAM/HD problem/mobo problem?) [SOLVED]

my setup:
windows xp pro sp2
amd athlon 64 3200+
msi k8n neo plat - 7030 - bios 2.1
x800 xt vid
sound blaster audigy 2
kingston valueram pc3200 2x512 cas 3-3-3-8
ps = antec 430 watt truepower power supply (20 A on 12V)
I dont know if you guys remember my but i created a topic on here a while back about how my keyboard and mouse suddenly stopped working, well that turned out to be that the msi k8n neo platinum just went bad. So i RMA'd it and recently got the replacement board (with latest bios already installed). It worked completely fine for about a day. Well that same day i got it back, i installed a Logitech G7 USB wireless mouse. after i installed it, i began getting numerous windows stop blue screen errrors, even after i removed the mouse from control panel. So i figured i should format because to rule out everything and start fresh. So i did a FULL format and attempted the reinstall windows again. AFTER the format and BEFORE windows attempted the continue installation, i got the same stop error. I figured now this was a hardware problem. So first i tested RAM. I got the latest version of memtest86 and let it run for 4 hours (11 passes) with NO errors at all. Secondly, i got a western digital hard drive diagnostic program to test for failing hard drive and again no problems with that. I still suspected ram so i tried to boot with only 1 stick installed (in first slot), however the PC didnt boot at all (cleared cmos too). So i moved it to the second slot and cleared cmos again and this time it posted but it just hangs at a cursor and does nothing, same thing happened with third slot. I tried this same procedure clearning cmos each time with the second ram stick and got the SAME results. Shouldnt the motherboard boot with only 1 ram stick installed? Did MSI RMA me another bad board? Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Can you give us what the D-Bracket was showing ie
R R
G R
As an example this means "Initializing Keyboard Controller"
You will find this information in the manual page 2-23. (On mine) under Hardware Setup
Also can you please do all your tests with the ps2 keyboard and mouse and for now leave your Logitech G7 USB wireless mouse to one side.
Russell
for two sticks of ram = RR
GG
for one stick of ram = GR

as for the g7, it hasnt been plugged in at all, i took it out long ago.. as for the ram, the timing was set to 2T, no overclocking, i will try 2.7 v and let you know, but for the record, it has been running at normal voltage settings for about a year perfectly fine.

Please help! K8N Neo 2 Platinum instability problems

Hi!
At the fall of last year I bought new computer parts for a new system, the heart of it being a MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum. Ever since then I have had some instability problems. I tried for a while to fix them, but after a while lost the energy and have just accepted them. Now, however, I want to give this forum a try for help. The instability is irritating and I've been thinking of returning the motherboard.
The system consists of:
MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum
2 x 512 MB Kingston Hyper X PC3200
AMD Athlon 64 3200+
Gainward Geforce 6600GT AGP
Trust 514DX 5.1 Sound Expert Optical
120 GB Seagate SATA HD
NEC DVD-RW ND 2510A
Zalman ZM400A-APF PSU
Nothing is overclocked. I also have a Terratec TV-card that I never use.
I'm running Windows 2000. I have the latest BIOS, 1.C. I have tried many different Nforce drivers, right now I'm running MEI's nWare Release 06.05a.
The driver for the GPU is 91.28. Every other driver should be the latest there is.
The problem I have is that the system freezes up in Windows now and then. The "funny" thing is that I can run Memtest 86 for a whole day, Windows memory diagnostic all the way trough and I can play games (most of the time) for hours. I have also had the computer doing video compression for days and days, so I would say that it seems kind of rock solid. The freezes seems to happen (I'm guessing) when there is lots of communication going on over the southbridge. It often happens when the HD is working and the CPU perhaps get loaded at the same time, or for example if I'm ripping data from a DVD and starts doing something CPU heavy at the same time. That is an almost guaranteed recipe for freezing. Sometimes it freezes when I'm doing "nothing", but I guess it might also be when Windows is swapping, or something.
I remember reading about problems like this before, with other motherboards. I'm thinking that perhaps some BIOS latency thing could fix it. Perhaps a hacked/tweaked BIOS? Or is the motherboard in fact busted and needs to be returned?
Any thoughts, ideas or tips are welcome. Please help!
Thanks in advance!

. . . I'd half to agree 100% on what BAS is pointing out . . . . . . . .
........also, for kakarocht's reply for the matter as well....
.....{ my opinion = 450w at least of a PSU, and, >>> what BAS is stating about's the 12v line, YES, BIG requirement for your system's _ component's of } .......

K8N NEO PLAT - Onboard sound problems

I got a really confusing problem, maybe one of you could help me with...
My brother has s754 k8n neo plat motherboard and he has always used the onbard sound controller. Yeasterday we formatted his computer, and did a fresh XP installation. Since then i cant get the sound to work properly, only if i put the headphones in the "blue" input instead of the green. The sound is very low but works there.....I installed the latest Realtek Audio driver from the MSI page. According to windows the sound works perfect, no driver issues reported or anything...The mp3's start playin but theres NO sound....
Could it be driver issue? Updated to the lates BIOS also btw.
Appreciate all help, thx...

Hi, we are sailing on the same boat!
I am also facing the same problem recently with my K8n Neo4 Platinum Ultra. I have Win2K Pro, Win2K Server/ Win XP 2003 Server installed in my system.
I do not know, why such a typical problem exist with my system?
Any help from good techies shall be very useful.
Thanks.

K8N Neo Platinum - unusual sound problem

Hi all,
I am running a K8N Neo Platinum based PC with specs as follows:
1024 Mb RAM
200 Gb HDD
256Mb GeForce4 Video
16x DVD/CD-RW
I'm trying to use the onboard sound, at this point with just 2 speakers, and until today I thought the sound wasn't working at all. But after going into Windows Media Player I found that I can play music and get sound as per normal - I just get no sound from anything else! The driver is the Realtek AC'97 version 5.10.0.5830 from the MSI site. Does anyone know why this could be happening?

1. Yes, my sound card is set as the default under all categories, and I have checked the 'use default devices only' box just to make sure.
2. I know there have been two other topics covering similar problems, but one of these could get no sound at all, and the other only didn't get sound when trying to play DVD's - that one's got nothing to do with this problem, I'd be interested to know if the other is similar, but either way neither of them have been solved!

K8N Neo Platinum: Floppy drive problem

Hi,
I can not get the motherboard to detect the floppy drive. As soon as I turn on the computer, the LED light on the floppy drive is on. I made sure that "1.44M, 3.5in" is selected in "Standard CMOS Features." I made sure floppy is NOT selected as a boot device. Also, made sure "Seek Floppy" is disabled. I tried using the supplied rounded floppy cable and used my old cable. I swapped the connection of the cable also. I also checked the connector pins to make sure they are not bent. Nother seems to work. The floppy is simply not detected.
Please help!!!
My system configuration is:
MSI K8N Neo Platinum, BIOS: 1.3
LSI Logic Ultra 320 SCSI controller
eVGA 6800 GT
A64 3200+
512MB Samsung memory
SoundBlaster Live!
Plextor CDRW (don't remember the model number)
Toshiba DVD-ROM (dont' remember the model number)
Fujitsure 15K RPM SCSI HDD
Antec True380 power supply
Thanks.
Henry

You did say you'd swapped the cable, right? Have you tried turning the connector upside down at the floppy drive end?
I had a problem with the floppy light being on all the time and the drive not being detected. It turned out the connector in the back of the floppy drive was upside down! I was sure I had it the right way up the first time so it's easily done!

K8n Neo and MBM, show insane temperatures.

Hello,
I have a MSI k8n Neo Platinium with a AMD Athlon 64 3000+, now it's run at 2350 Mhz with the inbox cooler.
The MSI Core center, shows 54ºC at MSI Core center, and a similar temperature in BIOS. ( Burning with Prime95 10 hours )
But if I execute the MBM program, shows 108ºC in "CPU"
The config of MBM (version of MBM is 5.3.7.0):
Case: WinBond 1
CPU: WinBond 2
Sensor3: Winbond 3 ( Shows temps betwen 20-26 )
¿ Who is the problem ?
The CPU run's perfecty stable and the heatsink don't burn if touch it, at the MSI Core center an Bios the temperature it's the same. When I execute MBM at moment MSI Core Center shows the same temperature of MBM, 108ºC.

It's probably a version of the bios, that's reporting the temps wrong. Update it, to the official one 1.3? Or the various beta bios's that are floating around. I'm currently using bios version 1.47(beta). At idle state, i'm at around 36c using AMD's stock heatsink.

K8N Neo and SATA overclocking issues?

I'm thinking of getting some SATA Adapters for my PATA drives to help improve airflow in my K8N Neo Platinum.
I do have a few questions though.
I've been reading some threads about various issues regarding SATA like corruption of data when overclocking FSB.
I'm currently running 245 FSB 1:1 with the 1.42b2 BIOS.
First of all, will the SATA adpaters slow down my drives?
Will I experience any corruption or any other issues with using SATA (and adapters) with my drives?
Thx for sharing.

Don't bother doing what you are thinking...
as for SATA, it has the ability to be faster than IDE, but because of the drivers it doesn't have a speed advantage so much right now. The only SATA drives I would get would be raptors, which I have one...otherwise I would go IDE

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 ;-)

Quote from: qTj on 17-November-05, 20:25:05
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

I never watch the screen on Sil3132 bios !! ad i never enter on it with F4 or CTRL+S key.
I'm testing all version on Diamond Bios from 1.0 to 1.6 but no one can show me the Sil3132 settings.

865PE and Radeon 9800 Problems

Hi,
I've searched the forum, but didn't found a solution. I have troubles with my sapphire radeon 9800 pro and the msi 865 neo 2 mainboard (bios 1.2) . If I try to set the AGP to 8x it will stay on 4x after reboot. This happens also with the enable fast write setting - it is also disabled after reboot. Of course, I've downloaded the latest drivers from sapphire website - with no luck. Is there a solution? Should an update of the bios help?
Regards
Josef from Austria
BTW, I'm have a 3 GHZ P4 and 2*512 MB Kingston HyperX3500 (SPD - stronger settings result in boot failures) but sandras memory bandwith benchmark shows only values of about 4400 MB/sec - with the bios fast setting (a Reference System with 865PE should reach 4800) - any recommondations how to reach such a benchmark values without overclocking ?

Hi Arthur,
thanks for your response. I've installed the additional powerconnector on the card. I use a 430 W enermax power supply. I think, it should provide enough power. But I didn't install the intel chipset drivers - maybe this would solve the problem. Another question to the benchmarks - I've updated the Bios to 1.3 and now I have values about 5000 in sandras memory bandwith (with fast enabled and no overclocking DRam settings are 2-3-2-5) but now my computer isn't able to wake up from standby - hi starts and after 3 sec hi stops working. The power off feature dosn't switch off the pc. If I change the timings to 2-3-3-6 everything will work fine (with lower benchmarks). So I search for a way that standby and poweroff works with the faster ram settings. Do you have maybe an idea?
Regards

2x K8N Neo 4 - PCI express problem

Hi,
I've received 2 motherboard K8N Neo4 MS-7125 and both of them have the same problem ie the PCI express seems dead (bip error indicating a video problem). When I use an old PCI video card, I've an initialization and something on the monitor but I'm unable to boot or access the bios.
Of course, I've tested both motherboards with several PCI-Express video cards, new PSU, new DDR, resetting the bios, unplugged all devices like HDD and optical drives.
I'm surprised to see two motherboard of the same type with the same failure at the same time. They are a little bit more 3years old (3y+4months and 3y+1month)
Anybody with the same problem ?
(I hope it's not a default of this K8N series as I have also this motherboard model in one of my computer )

Quote from: Svet on 04-July-09, 00:32:13
Not all PCI-E gen2 VGA's can works in PCI-E v1 slots...
The RX700 and NX6600GT were previously installed on these motherboards. They are working on another computer too.
I'm relatively sure that it's a motherboard problem in both cases.
I'm just surprised to see 2 motherboards with the same 'default' at the same time.
