K8n neo platinum edition problem

hey not 2 long ago i accidently shocked my comp . now i want start. i tried a whole bunch of stuff but it wont start. im really pissed. wut do i do man

There is no telling what was toasted, if anything.  I'd unplug from the ac, push the power button to discharge any caps, clear the cmos, remove the cmos battery, and wait about ten minutes to re-assemble.   Remove your memory and reseat, same with any other cards you have plugged into the board.
Visually inspect the board to see if you popped any resistors or blew any caps.  If you see nothing physically wrong, then plug it back in, (making sure you already moved the cmos jumper to the keep data position) and see if it'll fire up.
Check to see if any of the fans try to start when you push the power button.  If you get nada (nothing), I would first try a different powersupply (could have toasted a component inside).  But that would just about be your limit of checking without volt meters, ossiliscopes, etc...

  • 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..

  • 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
    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:

  • 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 .

  • 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

    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

    Dx9 needs to be installed prior to the mobo drivers.
    This applies to the Gart (Agp Controller)

  • 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
    USB keyboards meant to work with the latest BIOS?
    I believe so  
    Enter Bios & check in onboard Device USB Mouse Support is enabled

  • 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. 

  • 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?

    *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.
