Can't get my K8n Neo Platinium to boot, fast help plz!

Hi!
I just put all my new parts in my chassi and tryed to boot it but all i get the second i press the power button is a continued beep, not from the pc-speaker. And the cpu-fan wont start spinning!
It may be a dumb question but is'nt the cpu fan supposed to go in the C-fan connector on the board? Or have i got that all wrong?
I guess that's the problem, the cpu-fan not spinning.

yes Basic Troubleshooting Guide -- Volume 1 = Assign Resources to all ISA.
I think it might be worth reseting Cmos
When you clear cmos (userdata) you must enter the changes you done in bios over again.(Step 9)
the bios version is the same , it's in protected nvram .
Cmos of the bios chip is user data which you alter in bios + DMI a database of attached components, this can get corrupted.
When you reset cmos , default data stored in nvram is unpacked and
put all over again in the cmos area with MSIs default settings.

How to clear the CMOS
1) disconnect the power cable.
2) push the power button to drain the capacitors
3) Move the CMOS jumper JBAT to the clear position, from it's original 1-2 position to 2-3 (it's between the Battery & Bios Chip see Manual.
4) Wait a minute to be sure the CMOS has been cleared. Take your Time
5) Return the CMOS jumper to it's original position 1-2
6) Plug in power cable.
7)restart computer
8) enter bios and select load optimized Bios defaults - save & exit
9) let pc reboot, if you have any settings you want changing do them now.
like Enable Sata etc.,
see how far through you get now Again just with 1 module.
luck

MOVED: K8N Neo 4 Platinum Boot problem

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=110171.0

Ups, I messed up. Thanks for moving this to the correct forum!
Yes, I'm using 1st Dimm slot. I cleared CMOS with and without the power cord, with and without the battery, and every way possible. I even held the button down for 2 minutes.
PSU is Vitsuba 450W. The 12V rail has 20A.
I don't have a better PSU. Should I buy one?
Already tried barebone setup. Just didn't know what it was called. Reseated CPU but didn't change anything. There are no bent pins.
How this happened. I was working in windows and it BSOD. I reset and it didn't boot at first time, but after several tries it finally booted. That was last week. The problem repeated once again yesterday, so I decided to do a clean reinstall of Windows, just in case. So I had some troubles to boot again but it booted ok after some time. Installed windows, drivers, updates, apps, etc and everything was fine. I switched off the system yesterday at night. Today the pc won't boot anymore. So, here I am!
Thanks for your assistance and don't hesitate to ask me some more questions!

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..

The optic exit doesn't work correctly K8N Neo Platinium

Hello
I am French and I have just acquired a Mother Board MSI K8N Neo Platiniums
Of that someone uses the exit Optic Spidf.
There is a problem with, she is restores sounds of Windows as well as the reading of the MP3 well.
But if one connects the exit of a map TV on the entrance Line In, the sound is play only on the exit Line Out, end not on the Optic exit.
On my old mother board Abit NF7S the sound play correctly on the Optic exit.
Of that someone to this problem.
:shy:It is domage that is there this small problem because the mother board is exelente
Stay up to forgive me my bad English I serve myself of a translator.

Yeah, just doesn't like the 16M cache drive
I'll receive a maxtor 200gb 16mb sata (6B200S0) by the beginning of the week so I'll probably be working on the problem too

Overclocking of MSI K8N neo platinium

MSI K8N neo platinium, Bios 1.4
Athlon64 3200+ 2000Mhz (200Mhz x10) 1MB cache, Clawhammer.
Geil 2x512MB DDR PC3200 400MHz Value CL2,5 5ns Aluminium Heat
Club3D 9800pro@xt
Hitachi Deskstar 7K250-160 160Gb 7200rpm 8Mb cache S-ATA
400w psu
Before when I had just one memory chip(512mb in slot 1), I had no problem to run 235Mhz x10. All I had to do was the following :
Put hdd in SATA 4
Set AGP to 68Mhz
Adjust cpu voltage from 1.45 - 1.55v
Set mem. clock to 166Mhz (sense it will increase as you raise the FSB)
Now I`ve bought one more identic memory chip. I have now 2x512MB memory placed in slot 1 and 3.
I followed the same steps as above, but with terrible results. Max 215Mhz x10 stable.
I`m pretty sure it`s not the memory chips that`s the problem, as they run stable
with original settings ( witch is higher speeds (200Mhz) than those I run on the memory when overclocking (166 - 195Mhz).
I would be greatfull for any tips or solutions that you might think would help me (and others) to reach better o/c results.

try slots 1+2 instead of 3, i have found that i can't oc very well in 1+3 either.

Any MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition S754 nForce3 users?? Need advice..

Hi, thinking of building a budget system around a S739 Clawhammer 3700 with an
MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition S754 nForce3 board. But have a few concerns..
- Will this board run on this chip or will it need updated BIOS to do so?
- Will it work with crucial 3200DDR memory.CL=3 • UNBUFFERED • NON-ECC • DDR400 • 2.6V • 64Meg x 64 ?
- Can it take an extra (3rd) 512 stick of this ram?
Thanks.

I have ran the Neo s754 model with 2 * crucial CT6464Z40B 512MB cas 3 modules and never had one single problem with the combination
of A64 GC version , mobo and RAM .
Three modules is tough on the single channel memory controller though , as it would have to deal with 6 banks
and you probably see the ram max speed as DDR333 and 2T commandrate is what it can cope with.

MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition memory question

Hi there,
I've currently got a MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition (Nforce 3) motherboard and 2X 512 MB Corsair Value Select memory modules (both double sided) running at DDR 400 - this runs completely stable and has done for a number of months. I would like to increase my memory to 1.5 Gig but there seems to be a lot of issues?
I originally planned to buy an additional 512 Meg Corsair value select chip and place it in Bank 3 - is this acceptable?
I assue that i would have to drop the speed down to DDR 333 from 400, could anyone tell me how much of a difference this actually makes (when playing FPS games Doom3 etc..) ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i've been looking through both this forum and the Corsair one and i cant seem to find the answer.
thanks in advance !

Just note that there are combinations of two sticks that will also make the board run in DDR333 mode (see page 2-8 of the manual). For example, using two double-sided sticks in DIMM2 and DIMM3. I've actually managed to get it to work at DDR400 in those two slots, but it's not perfectly stable and overclocking diminishes drastically. Bottom line is the system will work fine when forced to DDR333...as long as you don't expect to overclock the RAM to any significant degree.

MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition Low Benchmark scores

Hi, can someone please help?
I have these details of my friends new PC :
MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2 GHz Socket 754, 512 KB cache
Corsair Value S. PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB
I have run a sandra memory bandwidth test on it and I think he gets really low scores for his spec.
int buff'd 2657
float buff'd 2656
This is the scores he gets un tweaked and not overclocked. Do these sound like reasonable out of the box scores??
Any information would be appreciated

not 100% true either beacuse if you then run encoding apps etc which are mem bandwidth dependant the 3C would own. it is not true to say they are not real world results, just games and most apps dont bottleneck on the mem bandwidth.....now that is will be different on 64-bit coding but of course the A64 would still own the 3C on them.
just for the record i would never buy an intel.

MSI K8N Neo Platinum Edition review

MSI K8N Neo Platinum Edition
http://www.tbreak.com/reviews/article.php?id=290

Is it worth the money I wonder? There aren't that many programs written wich can run in 64 bit mode! This is truly the main reason for getting this board unless all you guys have a load of money and want to be at the cutting edge.
I think I'll wait till its get worth the money... or am I completely wrong here?

MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition Memory plz help!

Hi
http://www.datorbutiken.com/se/defa...2X512DDRCA400PR
Is this memory ok with MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition ?
If it is, do you know how well its oc:s?

He would be talking about this:
http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=20-145-466&depa=0
But I wouldn't reccomend that memory mainly because I have heard mixed reviews about it. You can get the same (if not better) memory at either of these links, the only difference between the two links is the color of the heatspreader (as far as i can tell). This is the memory I have and it works very well, plus its much cheaper:

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

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.

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
GG
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.

MSI K8N Neo Platinum Edition vs. ASUS K8N-E Deluxe

I'm beginning to get nervous. Since almost everyone has had problems with the MSI board, I'm beginning to doubt it's a good choice...
I've been looking some at the ASUS K8N-E Deluxe. Is this board a better choice?

A couple of my friends can't break 230Mhz HTT no matter what BIOS they use, and their components are all good for it. I can safely say that this is my first and last MSI product. When I also compare the MSI support forums to those of ABIT etc I also find them sorely lacking. It's not the most constructive or knowldgeable place in the world. I'll be getting the DFI NF3 when it's released I think, even if it does have the cold-boot problems it can't be worse than the MSI, and will likely at least come with an active chipset cooler. As for reliability, two of my friends build computers for a living and swear by ASUS and ABIT, they would never build MSI into their systems. MSI is very much a mid-rank manufacturer, not top-flight.
*dons flame-suit*.
I don't think anyone is going to flame you... but I will point this out:
You are over clocking. ? You'll get varied results from any brand.
Like there's some inherent warranty behind overclockability. Give me a break.
I had an ASUS board where a diode EXPLODED and took out a Thunderbird. I handled it with support... like I should have.
God I hate whiners.
Listen bud, I ain't a whiner, but I say things how I see them and I don't needlessly mince my words, in my job it desn't pay to. I don't pussy-foot around anyone. Also, i've been overclocking a long while now, likely far longer then your wee self, and i've used a wide range of motherboards on both the AMD and Intel platforms.
Also, God knows what you're talking about with the "inherent warranty behind overclockability" part as that's not even in context, I made no reference to the warranty, merely on the board's performance and my opinions on MSI. They weren't offensive, merely informed opinions.
If you're going to attempt a put-down, please try and make it vaguely relevant and remotely intelligent. Otherwise...
Just for the record, my first overclocked machine was an 80286
lol same here tiresmoke, touche sir.
And SAB I hear you mate, i'm sure you love MSI motherboards, but review after review has shown they are not the best, in terms of stability or overclocking, especially overclocking in fact. Ask 9/10 reviewers and they would rate ABIT, DFI or ASUS over MSI every time. But the very fact that I bought an MSI motherboard shows I am willing to give them a chance, and I will wait until the next BIOS update for the NEO Platinum before I make my final judgement on my first ever MSI product. If the BIOS turns out to be a dud and doesn't solve the many issues with this board, i'll say bye bye forever, as many others no doubt will who have bought the MSI Neo Platinum as their first MSI motherboard, mainly because it was the first Norce3 250GB to be released.
