K8n neo platinum boot problem

hi all
first of all sorry about my bad english...
my pc specs
A64 2800+ newcastle with Tt Polo735
k8n neo platinum
Noganet 350W (+5v=35a // +12v=15a // -12v=1a // -5v=0.5a )
2x Wd30gb
sapphire9600xt
256mb kingston pc2700
256mb xerox pc2700
well, yesterday i changed my amd box cooler and put the polo735.. everything was fine.. when i turn on the computer..dont boot and only a single bip every 4 or 5 secs..
i tryed everything, another mems, another vid card... i started my pc with only mems, vid and heatsink and nothing...only the beps
i put my cpu on another pc and works fine.. and put another cpu on mi mother and the same problem..
i clear cmos and nothing
i change the psu for a generic 520w and nothing
plz HElp
cyas
EDIT: DBRACKET led 1, 2, 4 in red // led 3 in green

Sounds like bad/not levered pressure from the new heatsink to the cpu HS .
Make sure it correct aligned and the right way and has the correct pressure
to the cpus heatspreader . Also make sure motherboard can read the fans rpm .
[edit:]
btw i agree with bas , your current psu is weak .
The polo fan also is a very watt hungry fan compared to boxed .

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..

K8N Neo Platinum - Reboot problems

This is very strange.......
Just bare with me as I try to explain.
I just orderd a new system to build from scratch and all seemed to go ok.
I have:
Motherboard: K8N Neo Platinum
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 - 2800+
VIDEO: ATI Radeon 9600XT - 128 MB
RAM: 1GB DDR PC2700 CL2.5 - SAMSUNG - 1 Stick
SOUND: I also have an old PCI sound card in there.
HD: none connected currently
CASE: XG Viper Gaming Case
On my first boot everything seemed to go ok. I saw the post screen. The CPU, the Memory were all recognized the only thing is I don't have a HD in it right now so there was no OS to boot. I went into BIOS and double checked the settings. I noticed the RT clock was off slightly so I changed it. Looked around and made sure the AGP port was selected as my primary video adapter. Besides that I didn't change any other settings.
When I saved the BIOS settings and the computer did an automatic reboot I got nothing except a repeating "BEEP" and a black screen.
I waited a few seconds (around 20) then turned the computer on and it started up fine again. This time I didn't go into BIOS just let it boot up to the point where it said INVALID system disk. I did a reboot with the same problem - a repeating "BEEP" and a black screen.
A warm reboot doesn't do anything - It only comes back up with a black screen and the repeating beeps. Also If I power down and up too quick I also get no other effect than the black screen and repeating beeps.
The only way to get the post screen is to let it sit around 20 seconds and boot up.
Even If I let it sit over night, boot it up, see the post, and reboot 2 seconds after I get the post screen, the black screen and the beeping occurs (so I am not too sure its a CPU heat issue).
also on a side note the DBracket has some strange lights on it. - IF I am looking at the Dbracket from the right orientation - I think it is giving a "Initalizing Keyboard Controller" error when I get the black screen. It is either that or the Video Interface error. - 3 RED LIGHTS and 1 GREEN LIGHT.
Any sugestions or help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED !!!
Thank you !!!!!!

OK - I pulled out the 9600XT and put in a 9000 saphire radeon card with the same effects.....
when I pull out the Video card and the memory I get the same black screen and error code of course...
second - I put the memory in and left the video card out only and got a signle long beep.. then no additional beeps after that but of course no video...
third - I put in the video card (the 9600 XT) and left the memory out and got the identical black screen and repeating long beeps.
last - I put the memory back in.. booted up fine... then tried to reboot and I was back to the black screen with multiple long beeps..
one interesting thing that I learned from this was - when there was no memory in I got the same "beeps" as I do when I try to reboot with the memory in... could it be something to do with the memory?.... or is it still leaning toward a PSU problem..
(Unfortunatly I don't have access to another stick of memory right now,... nor a sufficient PSU for the system...)
HELP !!!!

MSI k8n neo platinum post problem

I just bought a 2nd hand K8N neo platinum and I can't get it to post, I have reduced down to 1 stick of ram(tried all slots) vga and cpu running out of case. I have an ultra 600 psu that certainly should be doing the buisness as everything was fine on an NF7S-V2 up until 1/2 hour prior.
On the led device it's starting 4 red then after a couple of seconds it goes 1 red 2 red 3 green 4 red which I found relates to keyboard controller. I've tried with various keyboards but no joy. I get nothing on the screen at all but that's the next stage in post.
My memory is Twinmos 3200 twin x 2 x 512 double sided, which I saw in the sticky can be troublesome.
Any body got any ideas?

i am having an almost identical problem.
First the system wont go past post,then i realised it would but only boot if i had the USB mouse unplugged (i noticed the d-brackets lights changed after i unplugged the mouse)
then i was able to get to windows, however i couldn't do much (mouse wouldnt detect if replugged, keyboard not detected - all lights off)
So i tried clearing the CMOS
now i am having the same problem, except this time i get CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded
then it tells me to press f1 to continue to del to enter setup, which i cant do since the keyboard wont work. so now im totally bamboozled
I've tried changing the PSU as well with no luck (both were 500watts)
Funny thing is, the pc having the problem is identical to the pc im writing on now, presonally i think the motherboard is not v good, since alot of people have this problem or similar to it. (and yes im using the keyboard and mouse now, that i tested on the other pc)
SPECS:
MSI k8N Neo Platinum
Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro
AMD 64 3000+
1GB Geil Memory
Maxtor 160GB
500watt Magna Dual Fans
Will check what the D-bracket says and will report back.
ok here goes:
(with usb mouse plugged in)
1= green
2= red
3=red
4=green
(without usb mouse plugged in) - but bare in mind i cant press f1 (no keyboard) to continue else i would probably be able to get to windows.
1= green
2= green
3=green
4=red

K8N Neo Power/Boot Problems!

Yo to all, i have recently bought for my pc at home ( i semi-own a pc store ) and i have decided to upgrade my previous amd 2600 barton.
Well i ordered a MSI K8N Neo Platinum + 54g ( wlan ) and an AMD 64 3200+.
Now when the package came i installed them to my case and it worked fine, so i packed it and went home to install it to its previous place, but unfortunately it never powered-up. I saw that when i entered the 12pin PSU cables on mb the light from the network card blinked one time and thats it , it didnt work. After more tries i saw that when i semi-entered the 12pin cable the fans start spinning with no booting process and the d-bracket was constantly red.
So i called the company and i got a replacement, but the problem now is :
The pc works only if it closes from software termination, if i pull the plug out or the power cuts off it stays inactive for like 10 mins before it can power up again, meaning that i have to leave it open all the time.
I repeat if you didnt understand. When i boot , if the power goes off or i closed it via the pc's button it wont be powered on for the next 10-15mins, the only way to boot is to successfully boot and shut it down via windows/linux.
I dont know what this means , havent seen it before.
Its not my PSU , it is tested and works great on other motherboards.
If anyone can help me with this i would be gladful, although i want to believe that the next bios patch will cover this as i cant send the mb back and wait for another 3-4weeks.
Best Regards,
Sedde

Ok havent seen this problem before on this board but this is whats happening, all motherboards are made with a thermal switch on the board (as well as one built into the psu) it used to be on cheaper boards when they use cheaper components if you turn off a computer by power failiure on off switch or just pulling the plug out of the back the switch will trip just like an rcd. The system holds the risidual current for about 10 minutes (you can bleed it faster by using foil or removing the onboard battery and resetting the bios) The problem is probably a faulty thermal rcd circuit, this problem can be caused by a to high output power supply but is more likley a manafacturing fault. You should have no problem with an RMA on the board as their technicians will recognise it. However it is worth trying it quickly before you RMA it, try it on a lower output psu i.e 350w with about 18amps on the 12v. If this doesnt work return it as faulty.
Hope this helps

K8N Neo Platinum Weird Problem

Hi.I just got the motherboard yesterday. The spec is:
Athlon 64 3200+
K8N Neo Platinum
512MB Crucial DDR 266
Enermax 350Watt PSU
Now my problem is an odd one. I start up my PC, and everything is fine, XP boots etc. However. when I turn the computer off, the power light will have a flash at the front, the light stays solid for a few seconds, disappears, and comes back on. In this state, when the power switch is pressed, the computer does not come on and the light continutes to blink. The only option is to turn off the PSU, wait a minute, then turn the PSU back on and the PC will be fine. When I restart from windows (Start--> Restart), everything works fine.
I am using the latest BIOS, I was thinking that it maybe something to do with Power Saving, is there a way to totally disable it?
Thanks for your help, it's REALLY annoying me.
P.S. Are USB keyboards meant to work with the latest BIOS? Mine doesnt seem to want to.

hi edjam,
welcome to forum.
1) Quote
that it maybe something to do with Power Saving
your right it does
1-1)1st look at control panel - Power Options - Advanced tab - Power buttons at bottom. check what set there.
1-2) When your computer does this try keeping the powerr switch pressed in for a time 4-5 seconds see if this makes any difference.
1-3) Check in bios - Power Management - Power button - that it is set to power off
2)Quote

I believe so
Enter Bios & check in onboard Device USB Mouse Support is enabled

K8N Neo Platinum reboot problem

ok, spec:
MSI K8N Neo Platinum mobo
A64 - 3000+
2 corsair 2700 256Mb in slots 1 and 2 - 1 unbranded 2700 in slot 3 (all memory double sided)
Powercolor ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
SATA WD Raptor 74Gb
EIDE 8x Hitachi DVD-ROM drive
550W PSU - "Channel Well technology" - 24a@12v 40a@5v [email protected]
that's it. it posts ok, has frozen there once tho. but every time since then post is ok. Installed WinXP fine - until the install process tried to reboot into WinXP proper - where it continually reset itself until eventually it got in - and reported it had rescued itself from a serious error - I can sit in windows seemingly indefinitely - using the hard-drive to browse through the windows installation. now the problem is when I instert a disc into the dvd drive the computer tries to read it - little disc icon on the arrow etc. then it hangs and the computer resets.... any ideas?? the computer shop I got the PSU from says my configuration is "categorically" not using 550W of power - what do you guys think?
thanks for any help, cheers
Niall

mobo drivers -> SP2 -> graphics card -> Dx9
Wrong order s/be
Sp2 (includes Dx9)
Mobo Drivers
graphics card
Dx9 needs to be installed prior to the mobo drivers.
This applies to the Gart (Agp Controller)
If you haven't done so downloadWindows XP - Unified Driver Version: 5.10 & install.
Device Manager System Devices note the AGP Host to PCI Bridge Device this is the Gart driver
you should see a diff in graphics performance

K8N Neo Platinum 7030 Problem

I have a K8N Neo Platinum and as of the past week my computer has been acting really strange. I has had random lockups that at first made me think it was the video card. That wasn't the case. I tried a different power supply and that didnt help. So I decided to take everything out of my computer. I had everything unplugged from the motherboard power, ide cables, etc. I noticed as I was taking everything out that I felt like I was getting shocked by my case but I don't know how because I had no power supply in my computer and all the cards, processor, memory were taken out. When I took the mb out i didn't feel the shock anymore, but when I put the mb back in the case and hooked the power supply back up to it I did. I even vacuumed out the case totally removing all dust and dirt. Am I missing something here? HELP lol

thanks for replying glenn after 2 days of hunting i can now say
90% sure the whining is from the powersupply
using my advanced hearing device i found a flaw in its design. before i would put it near psu but not hear the whine from there. well it occured to me to tilt it ever so slightly (tip from radio broacasting in college) to let the noise in but block any wind from crossing the end of my tube. and ch ching finally from the rear of the psu is where it is loudest.
ive owned 3 enermax and theyve been the best psu ive ever owned. but this weekend im swap it with my other and see if it still happens. it will probably take 2 hours total do it which is why ive put it off this long. ive tried bumping the wires around even though its a full size chieftech with all my watercooling gear its almost impossible to not have the wires overlap each other at least a few times. but with the moving around i did do it didnt help.

K8N Neo Platinum DMA problem

I uprgraded my old PIII with the following system:
AMD 2800+ (Sempron)
MSI K8N Neo nforce3
512MB Kingston DDR400
Windows 2000 SP4 (with default windows IDE drivers)
WD 80JB (connected with an ATA100 round cable)
LG 4163B (DVD-RW) (ATA33 cable)
I did a clean install of windows but the default value for the the DVD-Writer was PIO mode. I put that drive on DMA mode though the control panel.
Now everytime i try to copy files from the DVD-Writer to the hard disk the system locks and i have to reset. When i switch back to PIO the drive works fine but very slow of course.
The BIOS dma settings are all set to auto... there are only 2 options i think - auto and disable.
What could be the problem here?

Did you mean ATA 133 rather than ATA 33? If you are using an ATA 33 cable that could be a major problem. Also, what is your setup, do you have your optical drive on the same IDE channel as your hdd or on a separate one? Do you have the latest firmware installed on the optical? Also, I have found that my K8N nforce 3 Platinum board is very sensitive to IDE cables, (cable that worked and continue to work in my other system will not work in the MSI for some reason). Just some thoughts.
Yes it's an ATA33 cable from my old PC, since the motherboard only had one IDE cable included.
I have the DVD-Writer as secondary master (with latest firmaware) all alone in the IDE channel and the hard drive is on the primary master.
I'll buy a new cable and try it out. Lets hope that's the problem.

K8n neo 2 boot problems :cry:

Hi all,
yesterday I turned off my pc and carried it to the place where I work.
From that monent I'm still unable to boot and mobo sounds long beeps of 4-5 seconds.
Before this big mistake, I never had problems with this great product!
As I come back home, I try to unplug all the power chords.
Any other suggestion?
My configuration:
K8n neo 2
Wichester 3000
Pny 6800 GT 256 mb with silencer
2*512 mb ram DDR vitesta 500
300 gb hd maxtor
485 W Psu Enermax noisetaker...
No overclock!
Thx in advance for your help,
Ikki

Hi all again,
i went back home and solved the problem unplugging all the power connectors and the power cable.
It was probably in JPW1 connector: as I pushed it stronger, the pc booted again.
I knew in advance that this is the place to solve the mistake...
Bye and thx all,
Ikki

K8N Neo Platinum Booting up...

I just got this motherboard with an AMD 64 3000+. When i power it up i get to the "platinum screen" then it goes black and takes me to the screen where i select whether i want to boot normal or safe mode. What do i do? I have a 400w psu. I was using the pt880 just fine yesterday. The only thing i switched is the motherboard and the cpu. My ram is 2 pc2700 256 mb OEM stuff. Could that be the problem?

So lets get this right. You are using a hard drive with an OS (windows) of some kind in a new system you have put together?
What's windows for starters, and what have you changed the hardware from to.
The more precise you are answering, the better chance you have of a fix.
IE: was using the pt880
I can tell you that you really need PC 3200 ram, but we should be able to get it to work at a slower clock speed.

K8N Neo Platinum & Firewire Problem

dear forum,
I just changend from a siemens D1607 to Neo K8N and I'm very happy with it,
however I habe problems with the firewire device.
It is enabled in the bios and it is recognized by win xp (it is show in the device manager (1394)..),
but when I plug in my terratec aureon firewire soundsystem (I have installed that drivers before..) nothing happens.
I tried with and without sp2, I have installed xp again..i don't know what do to now!
some other facts:
- I use the msi nforce driver package which was with mainboard.
- the soundsystem worked well with the D1607 and my notebook.
some ideas??
thanks very much for your help!!!

I can use just one firewire connector.
there was no additionally firewire bracket (only usb2..) with the mainboard, so I don't use the other connectors on the mainboard.
In the device manager I find the via firewire device+the 1394 network device, but no audio device.
yes, the audio system works fine. before I started with neo k8n I had used it sucessfully in my siemens-fuijutsu D1607 mobo.
I think I will buy a pci firewire card and see how it goes...:(
thanks for your reply!

K8N SLI Platinum boot problems

Hi there everyone,
I am new here so I am sorry for any mistake I make while setting up the topic.
Anyway, I have just bought this board but I have experienced some problems. When I turn on my PC it sometimes doesnt boot and halts on POST and sometimes when the logo of Win appears.
I dont know what to do . I have already loaded the latest BIOS, I run without overclocking but I still have these problems.
Here is my setup:
A64 3000+ (Venice)
Gainward 7600GS
Fortron 350W (20 pin and here could be the problem, coz mobo has 24pin)
2x512MB DDR PQI
Audigy 4
TV card Leadtek
80GB Seagate
Thanks for any help guys....

OK, guys, I guess you are right.
But I was to a website (I dont remember address) where you could compute the power supply you need according to your parts in PC and I had something about 240W so I hoped my PSU would be enough
Well, anyway thanks for help and I am going to shop for new power supply
//EDIT: I have P-ATA HDD and it is always detected. It gets stuck sometimes before HDD detection, sometimes after it and sometimes during the WIN logo....

K8N Neo Platinum IDE problem

I got everything installed just fine and all is well booting into windows. I then install all the chipset drivers on the cd and reboot. The next time I put a cd in my rom to install a program it takes forever for it to read the cd and also windows gets really slow. I spent a while trying to figure out what was wrong and finally reinstalled windows again. And again same thing, as soon as I install the chipset drivers my Rom goes wack and windows is super slow. So I uninstalled the IDE drivers that the disk installed and let windows install its own drivers and WAAA LAAA problem solved. By the way I use a sata hard drive and the only thing on the ide is my dvd burner. Thats the only optical drive I have. Anybody else have this problem? I even tryed the new 5.10 drivers and same thing.

I've had ide problems with the nforce ide drivers. The windows set always has worked for me. I had to try a few different versions and ended up having version 5.10.2600.412 work for me.
If you are deadset on nforce drivers then that may help if you try other versions but if not the windows drivers seems to not have any problems.
