K8N Neo-LSR problem with drivers

hello.
i had this board for over a year now and i still have this problem. whenever i install the included and the downloaded latest v5.11 nforce drivers, windows (even newly installed) would lock for a few minutes whenever i insert a cd-rom. i tried updating the bios to 1.9 and up to the latest v2.1 but still the same. btw, when i update the bios, it would show a platinum logo. i have also reverted back to the old v1.7 bios from a backup before i updated.
please help... what should i do?
thanks all.

hey, it worked! for now...
i will be testing the unit and see what happends. will also try the 5.11 from nvidia. btw, why does this happen? even in other brand/model of mobo with the same chipset?
thanks again.
if you switch again to 5.11, when asked to install NW SW Drivers answer with NO.
you are welcome.

PT880 Neo-LSR: Problem with intel P4 2.8c 800 mhz!

I have plug my P4 2.8c 800mhz into my PT880, take 45 seconds before boot, after I got "CMOS settings wrong". I change setting and motherboard don't boot, I can just erase cmos for boot again. I have change my setting 15 times and I have boot from OS 0 time. Can you help me?

Well the Easiestway to Insert a Previous Thread into your POST is to Open the Thread that you want to include in your Current POST and Just Right Click the Mouse up at the URL (At the Top of the Page) and just Click Copy, and then Hit Paste where you want it inserted in the Current POST that you are Replying in, And it will add the URL Automatically, as Long as you have the Option Enabled in your Forum User Control Panel, (Which I think it is By Dafault)...But as Far as this "2.8 Northwood P4, with the SL6Z5" Code Being the Complete Issue, and If it is ALL Manufacturers, VIA Based PT-880's or if this is Just a MSI Problem I Have to Investigate Further .....Has Anyone come acroos this Problem with any other Board? And is there any Mention of this on INTEL's Webpage?.....And has Anyone Tried to See if the Utility "BOOTVIS" can Help with this Problem?.And Have you Tried to Use any Other type of Memory?..Especially Mem. That is NOT ECC?...And do you have Quick Boot ENABLED in the BIOS?.............Sean REILLY875

MOVED: MSI K8N Neo-F problem with Maxtor DiamondMax plus 9 slave.

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=95536.0

it has a 150gb FAT32 partition and a 100gb NTFS one.
Old mobo was a FIC AN11, but that is probably erroneous now.
As for the motherboard not recognizing it, the ide cable was loose. after fixing that, it is detected fine in bios.
And computer management now shows "Online" for the drive after I initialized it, but still shows unallocated under it. It is not unallocated.
Anything I can do to ensure I don't lose information?

Any one is using K8N Neo MS-7030 with 6600/6800 series with LCD monitor ?

any one is using K8N Neo MS-7030 with 6600/6800 series with LCD monitor and his card is connected through the DVI cable without problems ?

yup, no problems here! connected to a 19" AGNeovo F-419 TFT LCD, using DVI cable. nice picture!

Nokia 5800 problem with drivers windows 7 32-bit

Hi, i have problem with drivers for 5800 in windows 7, all drivers except modem and cdc comms work, how can i update drivers for that, i have installed lates nokia suite 3.3 and newest cable drivers, i try drivers 6.x but then my 5800 is not recognized, what is the solution?

Hi:
You can use the W7 x64 drivers from the 250 G2 support page. They have the 32 bit driver files too.
That would be for all but the graphics if your G2 has a Pentium or Celeron processor.
If your notebook has one of those processors, then download, unzip and run the graphics driver setup exe file from the link below.

[Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

First post, whoo hooo
So what version of BIOS are u running? I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems. With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you. Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems. Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

I just recently started buying parts, about a week ago, to upgrade my old AMD Athlon 2000+. Got all the new parts(listed above). Ive been having all sorts of problems. Ill list them to see what you guys think
1.) Whenever i start playing games or a graphicly intense program(ex: video editing, or 3D programs) or if i play a game and i do any sort of loading(ex: zoning, changing levels, loading player models etc.). My game either crashes to the desktop without errors, or my system will crash and drop to a bluescreen with the stop error "STOP: 0x0000007E". Or ill get a different blue screen saying "Dumping physical memory" or something can't read it cause it just appears then reboots my computer right away.
Or just recently i crashed to my desktop but got an error box saying "There are stability problems with the Geforce FX 5700LE please check if you have the correct drivers etc."
Then just the other night i was playing a game and crashed to the desktop but got a virtual memory error saying "Ran out of Virtural memory etc etc. Please check your Virtual memory page file". So i did and increased it a bit cause i saw it was set lower than the actual amount of ram i have.
I guess it's just 1 big problem but im just so confused about it. Been trying to troubleshoot it for about a week and about to give up. This monday is my last day to return things back to the store, would rather not cause ive heard such great things about AMD 64's and the Neo Platinum board.
Hope you guys got some ideas Im just about out of them heh.
Thanks.

Don't know if you have tried this things but heres my list of things .
BIOS:
-First load bios optimized defaults , then ..
-Set the cpu vcore voltage up by + 0.025v (don't use auto)
-Increase the memory voltage vdimm to 2.7v (or the vendors max defined voltage)
-Disable fsb spread spectrum
-Disable dynamic overclocking
-Disable cool n quiet
-Change the multiplier from startup to 11
-Turn off auto on memory timings in cell menu/dram and set all values manually
and the max mem frequency to 200.
-Turn off AGP fatwrites
CASE:
USB connectors
-Disconnect case front usb from usb header on motherboard.
-Disconnect the d-bracket from usb header on motherboard.
-Change the red MSI ide cable if used.
-Check all stand offs/spacers under the motherboard .
-If using PS2 kb and mouse some board have mislabeled color code
making people connect mouse in kb and vice versa .
Correct is keyboard in the bottom mouse top.

K8N Neo USB Problem + Boot/Shutdown issues

I just bought the K8N Neo and I am having problems with it.
First problem is usb. Sometimes when I boot up my mouse and keyboard won't work. That only happens sometimes though. The bigger problem is, that usb devices (mouse and keyboard) fail randomly. Like I'd be playing a game, then I suddenly hear the sound that windows makes when you disconnect a usb device, keyboard and mouse are dead, and then 10 seconds later I hear the sound for plugging an usb device in and all is back to normal.
I've read some of the older threads where other people are having that problem too but I have not found a solution to this yet. I'm using the two usb ports that are attached to the mainboard. Also I tried to disable "allow windows to shut down this device to save power" (or whatever it says) in the hardware device manager for the usb hubs as somebody on this forum suggested. Didn't help.
Usb keyboard/mouse support is turned on in the bios and I have the newest drivers installed for everything.
My second problem is that when I start windows (XP) I would see the loading screen but it's very very dark and nothing is happening (like it's frozen). About 15 seconds later it suddenly is brighter and I see the "loading bar" moving. Also, whenever I try to restart or turn the pc off I get a similar freeze. After clicking on Start->Shutdown the mouse cursor turns into the sandclock and I can't do anything. Can't click on any icon nor the taskbar. Takes about 5 minutes for anythingto happen. That's when I get the "turn off, restart" screen. After clicking on something I'd see "please wait while windows is shutting down" for another 5 minutes to so. Any ideas as to what could be causing this behaviour?

@gamecock: How do I get the drivers for IDE back to the Microsoft version? Do I have to run the Nvidia Setup again and remove the driver or is there a different way? (btw I'm booting from the IDE drive)
Go to your device manager, then IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers, and double click on the NVIDIA nForce3 250 Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6). You can try to roll back driver and see if it puts you back to Microsoft. If you've upgraded from 2.5 then you will only go back with an Nvidia driver again. If so, then choose to Update Driver instead, at Welcome etc choose No, not this time, Next, Install from a list or specific location (Advanced), Next, and then click Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install and Next. At the Select device driver, you should have checked Show compatible hardware and several drivers should show in the Model window, at least the Nvidia and the Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller. The standard is the Microsoft driver. Choose the standard driver and Next. You will have to reboot and hopefully things will be better. To put it back to Nvidia you only have to repeat process about but select Nvidia or run their install again. Later....

K8N Neo MS-7030 Vista drivers

This is my first thread here, and I have a problem with my K8N Neo MS-7030 754 Mobo. I cant get my USB port to work at high speed, Vista won't let me use a Kingston 2GB USB for Readyboost, ( stick is optimized for Readyboost). Also cant use MSI mobo utilities, no driver found. Will there be updates for Vista driver for this board? Running AMD Athlon64 3700+, Nvidia 6800 agp, 2GB Corsair XMS DDR400, 400w Ultra PSU, LG DVD lightscribe, Lite On CD burner, seagate 80GB 7200 rpm HDD, floppy drive, Diamond 7.1 sound card, Vista Home Premium OS. New to system building, this is my first PC, trying to figure the driver issue out. Thanks.......By the way, does anyone know how I can get a MSI USB D-Bracket W/4 led read out, and the accessories for this mobo, like cables, CD, etc.

You have to wait for drivers to get released, very few are.
You're not the only one, many people complain about the same problems.
I just bought this board (MSI K8N Neo V2.0 H (MS-7030) NF3-250 Socket 754 ATX Motherboard), and expect it from Fedex any minute. I'd heard (in a thread at Anandtech Forums, where I first heard about this board - http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.aspx?catid=40&threadid=2019857&f that nVidia was not going to support Vista with this board, and I'd assumed that it was an across the board thing with nforce 3 boards, but I may have been wrong to make that assumption. So, seeing this thread has raised my eyebrows and now I am wondering if I do indeed have to give up the idea of upgrading to Vista with this motherboard. What is the truth here? Has nVidia recently declared their non-support, or did I dream that up?

K8N Neo 4F problems

Hi,
Recently I have just brought a K8N Neo 4F mobo and have been getting some weird problems with it. The following is my system system :
1. K8N Neo 4F
2. AMD 64 3000+ (Venice chipset)
3. Cosair DRR400 2x512MB (CL2.5) RAM
4. Sapphire Radeon X700 Hybrid 256MB PCIe
5. Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS
6. Maxtor IDE HDD 40GB (ATA133) 5400 RPM 2MB
7. Maxtor IDE HDD 20GB (ATA100) 5400 RPM 2MB
8. Sony 16x DVD DL RW+RW- / 48x CDR
I have installed WinXP Pro sp2, Catalyst 5.9, DirectX 9.0c and drivers for Sound Blaster. I am using Norton AV 2005.
When I am working normally in Windows, the system is stable. When I start playing 3D games, a few minutes into the game and the system hangs. I got a black screen and pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL doesn't help. I have to press the reset button to reboot.
At the BIOS setup screen, I found the CPU Vcore voltage is 12.22V which is 0.22V above the standard. I am not doing any overclocking on the system.
Can someone tell me what is wrong?
Thanks.

Does your fast write is enable/disable in the BIOS? If enable try to disable it! Used CPUZ to identify your RAM setting and try to change it from the BIOS (recommended setting) http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php. BTW put your pc spec's into your sig!!

Advice - K8N Neo Plat users with *NEW* (NCQ) SATA Drives!

Hi, you can see my specs in my signature, but basically the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA drive is playing up after a year of perfect use.
An obvious replacement is the DiamondMax Plus 10... but...
I know the nForce3 motherboard does NOT support native command queuing (NCQ)... but do I *STILL* need to install the nVidia SATA (IDE) drivers?? Currently I am using only windows IDE drivers (I uncheck the IDE drivers when installing nvidia system drivers).
Also, are people still having problems running these hard drives on their motherboards?? (K8N Neo & Neo2) - or do all new "DiamondMax Plus 10" hard drives come with the updated BIOS?? (My motherboard BIOS is 1.4 - It is very very stable so I do not want to upgrade this).
Basically - is there a better hard disk to go for with the K8N Neo Platinum? I want a fast, quiet SATA drive, around 160GB.
thanks for your help

Is there a firmware (bios) update available on the DM10 drives? what version is it? where do i get it?
(I got one of the first DM10's and can only run the drive on sata4 on my k8n neo2 plat)

Msi k8n neo plat problems

I have built 2 computers exactly the same.
msi k8n neo plat
512 corsair xms ddr 3200
8og sata maxtor
amd 64 3200
128mb ati 9800 pro
asus cd drive
When i tried to install windows xp pro on both the machines i got the same error. could not copy file. On each try the file was a different one. After hours of trying new things i found that putting the memory in slot 2 on the motherboard solved the problem, windows installed and booted up as norm. When i moved the memory back to slot 1 the computer would not boot.
I have now left the memory in slot 2 but the computer will still crash every hour.
I am sure this is something to do with the memory but not sure what the problem is.
Can anyone help.

Can anybody tell me what i should set the cpu fsb frequency to in the bios.
I just read this in the faq
What is the fsb speed of this cpu?
Depending on which FSB you are asking about: The Athlon 64's have the memory controller built in (which was previously part of the Northbridge on the motherboard) which uses up to 200MHz DDR Memory (400MHz FSB) The HyperTransport link from the CPU to the rest of the motherboard runs up to 800MHz. Just to expand on my answer... The HT link is 800MHz, but it's 16 bit in size (2 bytes worth of data per clock) the total bandwidth of the HyperTransport link is 3.2GB in total - 1.6GB sending data to CPU and 1.6GB receiving data from CPU.

MSI K8N Neo XP Problems

I just got a MSI K8N Neo Platinum with a 3200 Clawhammer and a 160 GB Seagate Hard drive. Cooling is an SLK-948 with an Enermax 92mm 2800 RPM fan and a Antec 400 watt PSU. Ram, ive tried both 2700 and 3500. My system posts ok then i reformat but when it starts installing the setup files it gives me a blue error screen saying the system was halted. Ive also tried reformating on another computer. Then I just launch the XP setup from the A64 system. All goes well and everything installs until the very end i get the error screen again. I am not overclocking or anything, all bios settings are default as i just got this setup. Ive also tried my seagate harddrive on my other computer and it has none of these probelms.

Start by eliminating possible causes 1 at a time.
I'd start with the RAM. Set your BIO's to default (compatability) settings. Use 1 stick to start in slot zero.
If you have another PC to work with (w/ internet access) download and create a bootable CD with memtest86. You can get it here: Test Your Memory If not, perhaps a friend can save it to disk for you.
It's a decent memory tester and has helped me on more than one occassion. The last time with a 256mb stick of PC2700 Mushkin. For some reason the FIC board it was on didn't like it. Everytime I went to install XP it would fail in different places for strange reasons. Since I'd used the disk successfully just recently before, I ran memtest86 and discovered the problem.
The next thing I'd examine is the CD/DVD-ROM drive(s). I can't count the number of times I've gone to upgrade a machine, keeping the CD drive, only to discover XP doesn't like the drive. If you're drive is older, buy a new one. Don't install using a DVD drive (so they say - I don't have one).
If all else fails use the diagnostic LED's to try and track the problem.

This is what happens.. when i turn on the power theres no display.. and the computer shuts off after 10 seconds..
the Heatsink is the ZALMAN CNPS7000B-CU
then i tried to turn the power on again.. this time theres display.. but the display is stuck on the Neo Platinum Logo page.. tried pressing del to the BIOS set up but nothing works... its like the system froze at that point..
so i tried clearing the CMOS but that didnt change a thing.. i know the components work cause i was using it on my other system while i was waiting for the motherboard to get fixed.. so what might the problem be :(

Quote from: syar2003 on 28-June-05, 06:45:17
There is some timing requirements that may not be fulfilled during the motherboard start .
Fans will always start turning , but the motherboard and cpu wont start up if the timing sequences and housekeeping control of ps_on , pwr_ok is on track
withing the defined times .
So yes a "bad" psu can cause this . And it's the motherboard thats turn off baecause it hasn't got
a high pwr_ok that holds up.
I see,, so i guess i'm gonna replace the power supply...
which one do u recommend?

or something cheaper or equal value to one of those in the links.. but still high quality.. at least 500 watts

Strange K8N Neo Platinum Problem

I just got my new system:
MSI K8N Neo Plat
A64 3000+
512 MB Kingston HyperX (PC3500)
Installed windows and thought everything was fine until I got random BSOD (PFN_LIST_CORRUPT). I narrowed the problem down to the memory so I used Memtest86 3.1 and found that the ram was faulty at Test#5 at all ram frequencies from 200MHz and up. Worked fine when I used the dividers as long as it is below the 200MHz mark. So I went back to the retailer to have them test the ram but it was fine on their system. Ended up getting 1 stick of Corsair XMS PC3200 thinking it was incompatibility. But again got the same problem.
Anyone have any clue as to what's going on? Could it be the CPU or the motherboard that's causing the problems?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
Ok, I've tried all sockets and they all do the same thing.
I've slowed down the memory timings to the worst possible and same thing.
I've bumped the voltage up to 2.7 and still no luck.
I've already RMA the HyperX and the replacement stick didn't work either and of course the Corsair that I currently have now does the same thing.
No Kingmax where I am.
I'm currently running at 235FSB with the 5/6 divider giving 195MHz. Sucks that I can't run 1:1 at all, not even default.
