K8N NEO PLAT PROBLEM...HELP!!!

Hi all,New here,Maybe ye can help me sort my problem which is driving me Nuts!!Updated the bios to 1.5 and went to install xp on new drive which is a 400 gig seagate ncq unit which i know is working because i am using it at the moment for storage,but installation keeps failing at before it starts .ie after the partition and file system options.It asks me for driver for nvraid scsi which i dont have on my original motherboard floppy.so basically i do the F6 Option,go "S" For specify and do one or both options makes no difference still fails,pick my install partition and ntfs and then it says pressL to override previous window files and bang!!
Anyone know if problem is my driver wont do the new nvraid 4.6 on the bios or is it the ncq harddrive?Also if i do the xp boot dics i cant get into a:\c: to reflash bios to its former 1.4
Kind regards kieran

Hi kieran,
It might be worth downloading the latest Nvidia Unified drivers Windows XP - Unified Driver Version: 5.10 Release Date: September 17, 2004 & make a new floppy with the updated drivers. to do this Right click the D/L driver File & select unpack/unzip. Navigate to the \Nvidia\nForce_5.10_WinXP2K_WHQL_englis\IDE\WinXP folder copy everything except the raidtool Folder onto floppy.
Follow the steps 4-23 in this Single SATA or Multiple Drive Array Setup FAQ
Hopefully when XP is installled
Update Xp as required
Install Mobo Drivers.
You can go into bios & turn of raid removing your drive from the array.
This is the old school way (had to brush the cobwebs away on the link ) but might work with your drive.
Luck Shout up if you have any issues.

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.

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 Plat SM Bus Controller Problems

Hi, I just did a recent build witht the K8N Neo Plat and am having some problems.
My original build kept getting corrupt files from any self extractor that did a self verify. I could install windows and the MSI NForce Drivers but many files got corrupted. I finally figured out it was Bad Ram and replaced the PC 3200 I Was using with a stick of PC 2700 I had lying around. I installed windows with no problems and all of the windows updates(which were where I was getting corrupt files). But then when I installed the NForce3 Drivers from the MSI Cd I get blue screen of death, which I did not recieve with the bad ram. I then revert to last known good setting and can install of of the NForce3 drivers except for SM Bus Controller. I have tried using the NForce3 Drivers from the MSI CD and a download version. Both won't install, it still shows up with an exclamation point next to it in device manager. I have tried choosing the driver directly, but I get an accessed denied message. The only problem is when SM Bus won't install, I cant run my new 6800 GT at AGP 8X. It stays stuck in PCI mode.
Also I see a lot of talk about CPU Temps reported by BIOS. I am using the 1.1 Bios, and it shows the CPU running at 65-70C. Core Center shows this also. Is this just a misreported temp? Im using a 3400+ CLawhammer CG Revision with a Zalman 7000 ALCu with Arctic SIlver 5, the HSF seems to be screwed down completely, but the temp reading still makes me nervous.
Thanks for any help.

apply minimal heat paste
clamp sink down switch machine on
the prob is not the heat the prob is the chip clocking 8ghz
the sink and fan work really well
the bios is version 1.5 public
i'm trying to back flash it but i need version 1.1 .1.2. 1.3 and the prog to fash it
and an explanation (it's my first time lol)

Need help upgrading BIOS - K8N Neo Plat

HELP!!!
I have bios 1.1 on my K8N Neo Plat. I have been trying all morning to upgrade my bios to 1.3, but have been unsucessful so far. Note that I do NOT have any fancy MSI programs installed (I don't like bloat).
Sooooo, I donloaded bios 1.3 from the MSI website. This is a little zip file. Then, I tried the following....
1) Install from an XP boot floppy. -- Flashing the bios appeared to work, but upon reboot, ver 1.1 was still there.
2) Install from Win98SE boot floppy. -- Same story. Flash appeared to work, but 1.1 was still present.
For both type of boot floppies, the flash program says that it is currently re-programming the bios, and it exits normally, without any errors. The filename that I was loading a file called "W7030NMS.130".
3) Just for giggles, I downloaded bios ver 1.1, and use the "FC" command to be certain that they were different.
4) I checked my BIOS screens for any hint of BIOS protection, but could not find any.
5) The readme file that came with the ver 1.3 said to work from the hard drive, but boot floppies do not seem to like NTFS. So I simply cannot do it this way unless I re-partition and re-format.
Any ideas???

Try making a boot floppy with this.
Thats Dr DOS Disk For Bios Flashing from http://www.bootdisk.com
It's pure DOS, and will work with any OS.

Overclocking Problems on K8N Neo Plat

As I had said that even when HTT is set 200 and memory divider used is 1:1 on my Corsair XMS (which was plugged in in my nF4 SLi mobo and has TCCD Ram chips) which is rated 2-2-2-5 at 200Mhz DDR and processor at stock speeds and voltage, memtest shows errors and system doesn't boots in windows.
Also my Ram sticks are rated 2.60V but when Vdimm set at auto Motherboard pumps 2.70V !! what's the problem , I use version 1.7 BIOS on my MSI K8N Neo Platinum
Is that going to harm my RAM

Think your either going to have to try some other memory to test your system & test if it is this memory causing issue
or
get some more info by e-mailing PQI
assume you've now tried it in both slots 1 & 3

MSI k8N Neo Plat 2...system freeze and crash during h-end gaming...

MSI k8N Neo Plat 2
AMD athlon 64 3800+
Centon 512 MB DDR 3200 x 4
nvidia geforce fx 5700
win xp pro
Creative Audigy 2
Under some graphically intensive situations, during gaming, especially dealing with alot of background visuals, like fire/lava, etc, the system will after a short while of playing either, crash, freeze, reboot, or freeze while a loud screeching nosie emits from my speakers...I have tried updating my graphx card drivers to the most recent and the symptons still persist..Is there something I need to set in BIOS regarding mem timings, I have tried playing around some, but that hasnt worked either...Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
,

Try raising RAM voltage to 2.7v - 2.8v.
If no go - Run Memtest86 http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
If no go - Try onboard Audio ( disable / remove Audigy2 )

Msi k8n neo plat and microsoft ie

getting my msi k8n neo plat board running satisfactory , except for one problem . when i got to amdmb.com, i start surfing the site, and after a minute or 2, i get a microsoft ie error, send the error report to microsoft, and then ie closes. what is the problem , is it with amdmb.com site? its the only site that this problem with ie is present, all other sites i don,t have this problem

just tryed using the browser firefox, and it works great. its just ie that doesn,t work on amd.mb, and only that site. wierd problem, never experienced anything like it before. had run a short memtest , no errors. the 6800gt , msi k8n neo plat and amd 64 3400 work great. get some super madonion benchmarks-all default-1024 x 768 32bit- 22,755. i was hoping for 22,000, but exceeded my expectations. can get into the 23,000 + with overclocking the 6800gt, have had it overclocked at gpu-412, memory 1.12. not sure how much more you can increase the numbers, thinking my gpu is close to the limit at 412.had a problem with windvd, it ended up being a configuration in windvd- had to enable hardware acceleration , bingo- worked great after that. got my corsair xms pc 3200 to work at 6-3-3-2 timings. still getting to know the board, there is definately a learning curve to be delt with on this board, but i am getting it to work better by the day.

System restore? You need to find out what's causing the problem and you have too many things connected to it to be able to figure out what it is, always start with a basic system - video, primary hard disk, cd + fdd, no more and nothing else connected. Then when something goes wrong along the way you'll have more chance of narrowing it down if the problem appears.
What you'll want to do now is disable/uninstall/unplug any additional non-system-critical components that you have connected to it such as extra usb slots, printers, scanners and anything else. Keyboard, mouse, video with no sound and see if the problem persists. If it does, try another video driver. If it's fixed then reconnect/enable one device and try again until the problem reappears and you can find out what's causing it -- unless you can speed read that message quickly before it shuts down
Now that I think of it, have you set the OS to not automatically reboot on any errors? That might keep the BSOD up there so you can note it down and hopefully point at the problem instead of going through all the above hassle ^^

MSI K8N Neo Plat edit. and IDE

Thanks for any help.

Hi,

If it's not enought you can plug an IDE PCI card....

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.
