K8n Neo .. lan died

HI Folks
I had been using the onboard lan since I built this machine. in the middle of a download it doied and never came back.
it lost it's IP but still reported that it was connected. the 100mb router reported that it was hooked up but I couldn;t ping across it. replaced the cable same thing and also it would not pull an IP from the router. Installed an old nic I had and have mu connection back but I wondering if the onboard lan has really failed and if it's worth RMA'ing the board because of it?

You might be able to get the onboard NIC working correctly removing standby voltage from motherboard .
(Shutdown from windows and remove AC from the PSU a couple of minutes)
Also set the NIC to not go into standby by removing the tick in powermanagement .

MSGTAG Software not working with K8N Neo LAN Port

Greetings All,
I'm having a problem using a message receipt service called MSGTAG (http://www.msgtag.com) It works with Microsoft Outlook and while it still uses Port 25 for the SMTP server, it also creates Port number 7362 to "listen" for when the recipient opens the e-mail and sends a receipt back to the originator. This service will not get past the LAN port on the K8N Neo Platinum board. Outlook just hangs until an error message pops up saying a connection to the smtp server was interrupted. I thought it might be the nVIDIA firewall software, so after opening up to correct ports, it still won't work. I then uninstalled the firewall all togther, but still no luck.
I'm running all the latest MSI and nVIDIA drivers.
I should note that as soon as I enable my PCI NIC and use that, everything is fine.
Anyone have a suggestion? MSGTAG tech support wasn't much help.
Much appreciated.

Looks like I finally figured it out. In the nVIDIA ForceWare interface under Ethernet Settings---->Advanced Configuration--->Checksum Offload, uncheck the box that says "TCP Transmit Checksum Offload" and hit "Apply" and now it works!
I have the overall Firewall set to "High" profile, and now the only two websites that don't come up at all are http://www.extremetech.com and http://www.netflix.com . I've seen postings in here before about Netflix. Does anyone has an easy answer as to what source code these two websites have in common that would make this firewall block them?
The only firewall setting I can find so far that allows them to load is "Off". I could drop it each time I guess, but there has to be another way.
Thanks for any help you can give!

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 2 Died?

Last night I went to live update to get the new 1.2 bios and decided to creat a boot disk to flash from, all was created well and went to reboot, pc hung. cleared cmos and removed power cable for 10mins or so plugged them back in and pc hung on the msi platinum screen thats as far as it gets now lights 1 & 4 are green 2 & 3 are red I think, is that diaganol? anyway Ive tried everything different psu, ram and friends chip still nothing I requested a RMA from the shop I bought it but they have declined me, its less than a month old.

Wake on LAN/Keyboard wake for a K8N Neo Platinum - how do I use this?

I've got a K8N Neo Platinum motherboard that I am using in my home theater PC and I was hoping to enable either the wake on lan or keyboard wake functions so that they could be controlled via a remote control. For now disregard what the overall outcome I want to achieve is... what I want to know is if enabling the WOL and/or keyboard wake function will allow me to turn on the PC from a completely powered down state as opposed to just powering up from a sleep/hybernation mode. I have read people with other motherboards have been able to power up by using their keyboard, mouse or even WOL when the computer is totally shut down. I'm trying to avoid leaving the PC in a sleep/hybernation mode due to electricity usage. Does this motherboard have the ability to power up when the whole system is shut down?
Also, what key on the keyboard is used to wake up the computer? The manual and bios instructions say nothing about what key needs to be pressed to wake it up.

I know you can set various wake options in the bios. Check there!
You can wake up the computer by wriggling the mouse or pressing any key, if the options are enabled in the bios.
Hope this helps

K8N NEO 2 PLATINUM - NO 2ND LAN

Hi all
for some reason my k8n neo 2 platinum mainboard only gives me 1 ethernet although it as 2 any idea's how to get them both showing

Hello !!
There are two option in Bios Setup under "Integrated Periphals". The first is "Nvidia LAN" and the second is "Onboard Lan Controller". You have to set both to enabled if you want to use both LAN ports. Make sure you have done that......after this you will be prompted for new network drivers while windowsxp driver installation.
Get the Realtek driver here:

K8N Neo Plantium LAN problem

Hi guys,
I got the following problem using the NV lan:
I am using cable connection for internet. When I surf the net, sometimes, the web page just load the head and it stops. On the left-down corner, it shows "done". I have to refresh the page several times (sometimes 10+) to finally get the page showing correctly.
Any body have this kind of problem??
p.s. I use the most updated drivers for all my hardwares.
Athlon 64 3400+
MSI K8N Neo Plantium
1GB DDR400

My suggestion is to disable this Crap nV Lan like what I did , then get a good Lan Card .. mine had different problems untill it didn't allow me to access the internet two days ago .

K8N NEO PLATINUM Nvidia nforce 3 250 GB Chipset rebooting - hanging !@$%@#$@

Hi folks,
I am working on the K8N NEO platinum motherboard based on the Nvidia nforce 3 250 GB Chipset.
A couple of days ago I lost my internet connection (broadband). After a couple of minutes it ok again. But suddenly the computer frooze.
After rebooting (button on case) I found out that lots of things couldn't be closed anymore once they were opened. I needed to use CTRL-ALT-DEL to go the the active Tasks. But then that started to freeze too so I decided to wipe everything of the system.
I repartioned and reformated the computer with the win XP PRO CD and reinstalled the OS. I saw immediatly that the system was slower then before and that it did not found the internet connection anymore. I checked the LAN connection and there it sayed that the LAN card was working well but that no cables were connected. This was not true because I dubbel checked them twice. I even replace the cable. It was not my Internet provider neighter because the computer is in a local network and others had no problem to access the internet. So I decided to reinstall and reinstall it again. I reinstalled the system (partioning, formatting) it 4 times. The last time suddenly it found my connection back. Then I installed all updates of windows and I used my live update from MSI to update my components.
I am using live update 3 and updated the BIOS and all other parts who needed to be updated. This was done without the presence of a AV and so on. Everything went well and no errors occured. I received everytime a message with success.
Today my computer suddenly hanged itself again. This already 3 times. Nothing is possible anymore except the boot button on the case.
I also encountered 3 times the while surfing the computer suddenly reboots itself without any warning or message.
What the hell is going wrong here ???
Can aynone give me a clue please ?
Is the motherboard dying ?

Umm, btw... Where should I extract the files?
Quote from: Fredrik Åsenius on 09-July-08, 05:07:48
Tjena Rikard! You have to describe your system in some detail.
Some famous culprits:
- Other PCI-cards.
- Poor or old Windows installation.
- Weak PSU.
- IRQ problem.
- A combination of all or any of above.
The network card is not a PCI-one, but integrated to the motherboard. Only card in the system is a PCI-E graphic.
Maybe poor or old windows, might try that...
Shouldn't be weak PSU, It's pretty good, I've been told.
IRQ?

Can a BIOS upgrade allow NCQ to be enabled on K8N Neo 2P?

My new hard drive happens to have NCQ capablity, though I didn't buy it for that reason (Maxtor DiamondMax 10).
Is it possible that a future BIOS upgrade would allow nForce 3 mb's to take advantage of NCQ?
I suspect the answer is no, but would just like to hear from someone who knows for sure.

ok then you lucky person, are you using nvidia ide drivers or windows ones, cos if you read it properly i say that windows drivers are fine just not nvidia ide drivers, and you may have diff firmware in your maxtor,, whatever, my 300 gig 16meg died in the msi k8n neo, as did the pata version 250 gig, 2 drives, with 16 meg cache ncq, yet the maxtor 200 gig non ncq drive 8 meg cache is fine in this mobo, as is the hitachi 250 sata drive, this is just using windows drivers.
Hope it keeps working for you which ever way, and ooh do a sear\ch and see how many other people are having trouble with this, and yet you send an email to msi about this and they say they have never heard of anyone having this kind of trouble,.

New Windows XP 64bit, but no drivers for K8N Neo Platinum

Hello,
I have a MSI K8N Neo Platinum with an AMD 2800+. Just received the new Windows XP 64bit edition after attending a trade show in Houston. Used Partition Magic to make a separate partition on my SATA 400GB HD, knowing there was possibly going to be a problem. This is the final release, retail packaged, not the Beta.
The only drivers found was for my MSI Nvidia 5600 AGp video card. No other audio, Nvidia chipset or board drivers are plug & play. Onboard LAN isn't even found.
Any drivers out yet? I figure i'll have to wait. Can't get updates either bacause it won't detect onboard LAN or a Linksys or 3Com PCI card I tried also.
Woodrow

There most certainly are nVidia drivers. The only thing that there aren't drivers for currently is the onboard sound. This, combined with lack of driver support for my peripherals (webcam and printer) are why I haven't made the switch.

K8N Neo Platinum issue, computer does not boot..

Hello,
I’m going to try to be as thorough as possible here… :D
Recently I reinstalled Windows Xp (32-bit version) on my computer to speed things up again like it used to be. I did an updated on the BIOS while I was at it as well, through the Live Update tool downloaded from the msi.com.tw website. The install went well, no errors. The next day while playing WoW the computer began acting weird and computer froze during gameplay. After that the computer had artefacts, strange disturbance on the screen making it impossible to see anything on the screen. So I thought that maybe since the screen looked all messed up it was definitely the graphics card that was about to die and so I sent the gfx to the retailer and they checked it thoroughly for errors without finding any, while they were at it they also checked my RAM and they also came out clean.
A few days ago when my Gfx and RAM came back I inserted them back onto the mobo and when turning on the powerswitch nothing happened… I therefore tried to solve the problem myself and began reinserting all the computer parts piece after piece and well the computer started at least with the fans going and all but after a few seconds it shuts down again.
When I plug in the power cable the PSU makes a clicking sound, don’t know if that’s normal but haven’t noticed it before.
To maybe help you guys when helping me I installed the d-bracket (the usb thingy with 4 led’s ^^) which shows 4 red lights when starting the computer and lasts until the computer shuts down. According to the d-bracket FAQ it means: “- The D-LED will hang here if the processor is damaged or not installed properly or you have a weak Power Supply Unit.”
Well I reinstalled the cpu, put on new thermal grease so I don’t think that is the problem and the computer has been working fine for more than one year until now... How do I know if it’s the PSU or if the cpu is damaged? Could the motherboard been damaged after Live update’s flash? And what could have caused the artefacts on my screen the other day? Errors with the newest nVidia gfx drivers? I’m very confused :S
What should I do?
Thank you for your help!

Hi again..
I've now received a new PSU from Antecs RMA department. A TruePower 2.0 380W. My computer still doesn't work. 4 Red LED's when trying to boot it up. But I have noticed one thing since last time I wrote here. Remember what I was saying that I upgraded my BIOS through LiveUpdate? When I later checked my motherboard I noticed the CMOS pins around JBAT1(I think) was incorrectly placed. Instead of having them on either 1,2(to keep settings) or 1,3(to clear CMOS) they were placed right next to the JBAT1 pins, on something that wasn't named or explained in my manual. Maybe that is the reason my computer is acting strange? I mean the BIOS could maybe not have properly been saved or something. :/
I'm too inexperienced to know if that had anything to do with my recent computer isssues, but maybe you guys know. Would that screwup by me be covered by my warranty?
If that pins-placed-wrong-on-the-mobo problem doesn't have anything to do with my problem that leaves me with the 4 LEDs from the D-bracket showing a broken CPU or PSU(it's brand new, shouldn't be any problem with it!). So a damaged CPU it is.
Anyone of you got an idea? Been away from my computer for too long. This is getting annoying.
Thanks.

Okey here it comes..
I installed everything and all seemed to work okey, until i threw in the XP install cd and began my install..
in the dos install of windows xp, (when it moves files to the hdd) it stopped and said that there was a problem with a file that were to be copied, i pressed enter to try again and the install moves on, this accurs 4-5 times and then it gives me a BIG "IRQL less or not equal".. Blue screen of death.. (it complains on different files each time i try to install xp, tried 15-20 times)
I have tried to change memory to another Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512 512Mb DDR PC3200 400MHz 184pin Unbuffered CL3 with no luck,
changed hdd, change gfx-card. change psu, removed all no-need pci-cards..
but still same error, i aint no expert so i might have missed something in bios or something :(
please help me if you can..

Flashing bios with memory errors is a veeeeery bad idea .
Almost guarantied to ruin your bios chip with bad data block.
That this even is suggested with mem errors , well .
You need to resolve the mem errors before doing anything else.
The windows xp install routine is a very heavy user of cpu and memory
and will fail if you have mem errors like you have.
Some things to try is entering bios and change auto settings on cpu voltage
giving it 0.5v more than default .
Set the memorys voltage to vendors max approved voltage
which for yours is 2.6v +/- 0.1v . So it's safe to set at 2.7v .
Set timings to cas 3 ,ras 3 ,trp 3 , tras 8 , CMD 2T.
Pushing it firmly down in the dimm socket , sometimes it's not all the way down there even if the plastic lockers snap in.
Disconnect all devices not needed for a windows install ,things can be added later.
Have only the hd that os is to be installed to , one cdrom , floppy , memory and
gfx card .
Disconnect USB case front connector (cause corruption and strange faults if
USBOC pin is connected)

K8N Neo 2 Platinium can't detect PCI devices

Hi
I have just bourght a K8N Neo 2 Platinium with Wireless LAN. I installed windows on it with on problems. My problem is that i have a Tv-tuner, and the wireless LAN adapter that's included in the bundle, installed in 2 of the PCI slots. Neither of the I/O devices gets detected. I've tried to update bios, changing slots, reconfiguring bios, nothing help. Also one of the 2 onboard NIC's Is'nt found in windows like my 2 I/O devices.
What can my problem be?

not really the same problem Im afraid.
I believe our problem is with the PCI slot(s) and nothing to do with usb.
I managed to get the NVIDIA network adapter working... turns out just to be an option in intergrated peripherals was turned off...
However this doesnt really help me, I wont be using the onboard network anyway, I need to use the pci fibre card.

MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition PROBLEM

Hi (my english is not good sorry for that)
I just got my new computer:
MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition
AMD Athlon64 3200+
Western Digital Caviar 160Gb
PNY Verto GeForce 6800Ultra 256Mb
1GB Value Select pc3200
Levicom 500W
The Problem is that when i start the computer, it boot and die directly no bootscreen what so ever, it boot and die. i dont know what to do plz help me

Make sure you have Both the ATX Wires on.. theres the Big one! (21Pins i think).. and the Small 4Pin Connector both need to be connected.. if you havent done so yet.. Another thing you could do is Take everything out and place it on a cardboard or something appropriate for the mobo.... I think your motherboard is shorting?.. if it's touching your case.. I had somewhat the same issue long time ago.. give it a try..if you want hope it helps..
