K8N Neo Platinum (MS7030) LAN Problems ?

Hi guys,
After some period of stable use of the motherboard I ended up with a new problem. All of a sudden, my Local Area Network {Connection} (which I have never used since I bought the motherboard), disappeared. I tried to reinstall all the drivers but I didn't find any solution. Anyone has any idea?
As you might suspect I payed attention to this "side-effect" (as I had characterized it initially) of loss of icon both in tray and Network Connections (inside Control Panel) now that I have to use it. While googling around for the problem I found another person stating that people in this forum had similar problems in the past. Unfortunatelly I couldn't find anything when using advanced search in MSI forum. Does anybody know something?
All help will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Dimis

You were absolutely right about your thoughts guys. Seems, that when I was experimenting with my newly bought system I changed that parameter of MAC to DISABLED. Hence the problems occurred.
P.S.: I must update the above post (experiments) since I have many things to say about AMD processors regarding their performance and justify their superiority (according to my opinion) against Intel processors. All in all, now that most conflicts are resolved with my mobo (or I simply know that some of them can't be resolved e.g. Keyboard power while computer is turned off), I must say that it is a good motherboard regarding performance.
Thank you both again,
Dimis

  • 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      

  • 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.

  • K8N Neo Platinum - unusual sound problem

    Hi all,
    I am running a K8N Neo Platinum based PC with specs as follows:
    1024 Mb RAM
    200 Gb HDD
    256Mb GeForce4 Video
    16x DVD/CD-RW
    I'm trying to use the onboard sound, at this point with just 2 speakers, and until today I thought the sound wasn't working at all. But after going into Windows Media Player I found that I can play music and get sound as per normal - I just get no sound from anything else! The driver is the Realtek AC'97 version 5.10.0.5830 from the MSI site. Does anyone know why this could be happening?

    1. Yes, my sound card is set as the default under all categories, and I have checked the 'use default devices only' box just to make sure.
    2. I know there have been two other topics covering similar problems, but one of these could get no sound at all, and the other only didn't get sound when trying to play DVD's - that one's got nothing to do with this problem, I'd be interested to know if the other is similar, but either way neither of them have been solved!

  • K8N Neo Platinum: Floppy drive problem

    Hi,
    I can not get the motherboard to detect the floppy drive. As soon as I turn on the computer, the LED light on the floppy drive is on. I made sure that "1.44M, 3.5in" is selected in "Standard CMOS Features." I made sure floppy is NOT selected as a boot device. Also, made sure "Seek Floppy" is disabled. I tried using the supplied rounded floppy cable and used my old cable. I swapped the connection of the cable also. I also checked the connector pins to make sure they are not bent. Nother seems to work. The floppy is simply not detected.
    Please help!!!
    My system configuration is:
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum, BIOS: 1.3
    LSI Logic Ultra 320 SCSI controller
    eVGA 6800 GT
    A64 3200+
    512MB Samsung memory
    SoundBlaster Live!
    Plextor CDRW (don't remember the model number)
    Toshiba DVD-ROM (dont' remember the model number)
    Fujitsure 15K RPM SCSI HDD
    Antec True380 power supply
    Thanks.
    Henry

    You did say you'd swapped the cable, right? Have you tried turning the connector upside down at the floppy drive end?
    I had a problem with the floppy light being on all the time and the drive not being detected. It turned out the connector in the back of the floppy drive was upside down! I was sure I had it the right way up the first time so it's easily done!

  • 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.

    the problem began when i upgraded to another 300GB yesterday ! i get an error from windows xp (on the system tray) that i/o error unable to write some .tmp file etc!
    however i tried diff sata ports (also plugged off my all my ide devices) ! still i would get the same problem! sometimes on the 300gb as well. i`m not sure weather ishould reinstall windows ? btw i`m using the 5.03 drivers from the liveupdate!
    can any one please tell me what to do ! i dont want to disturb all the data !! :( ! so i plugged off my 300gb for now ! everything is working fine !

    Well, I dont know if this helps at all but,  I have been having windows lock up on me ever since my 2x 250GB maxtors in RAID 0 configuration for a total of 500GB was my boot drive.  I had an average of 3 minutes in windows, and then COMPLETE lockup.  I'm not sure if it has anything to do with NCQ with the new maxtors, but I'm back to using "1" raptor as my boot drive, and my 500GB's of maxtor RAID 0 config as my gaming HDD's, and KNOCK ON WOOD, nothing has locked up YET!  I wish i knew why I can't use my super fast raid 0 config for my boot drive, but I rather be stable, then having to cross my fiingers, and hope my PC doesn't lock up.

    I have a Razer Boomslang 2000 USB mouse. Ever since I got my new motherboard, the K8N Neo Platinum, It has problems when i turn the power for a long time - overnight. When I turn it back on in the morning the mouse refuses to work. I then have to manually pull it out of the USB port and plug it back in, in order for it to work. This is extremely frustrating.
    I have windows xp pro sp1 all fully up-to-date and the latest 1.2 bios and 5.03 chipset drivers.

Blue screen of death.. (it complains on different files each time i try to install xp, tried 15-20 times)
    I have tried to change memory to another Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512 512Mb DDR PC3200 400MHz 184pin Unbuffered CL3 with no luck,
    changed hdd, change gfx-card. change psu,  removed all no-need pci-cards..
    but still same error, i aint no expert so i might have missed something in bios or something :(
    please help me if you can..

    Flashing bios with memory errors is a veeeeery bad idea .
    Almost guarantied to ruin your bios chip with bad data block.
    That this even is suggested with mem errors , well .
    You need to resolve the mem errors before doing anything else.
    The windows xp install routine is a very heavy user of cpu and memory
    and will fail if you have mem errors like you have.
    Some things to try is entering bios and change auto settings on cpu voltage
    giving it 0.5v more than default .
    Set the memorys voltage to vendors max approved voltage
    which for yours is 2.6v +/- 0.1v . So it's safe to set at 2.7v .
    Set timings to cas 3 ,ras 3 ,trp 3 , tras 8 , CMD 2T.
    Pushing it firmly down in the dimm socket , sometimes it's not all the way down there even if the plastic lockers snap in.
    Disconnect all devices not needed for a windows install ,things can be added later.
    Have only the hd that os is to be installed to , one cdrom , floppy , memory and
    gfx card .
    Disconnect USB case front connector (cause corruption and strange faults if
    USBOC pin is connected)

  • Wake on LAN/Keyboard wake for a K8N Neo Platinum - how do I use this?

    I've got a K8N Neo Platinum motherboard that I am using in my home theater PC and I was hoping to enable either the wake on lan or keyboard wake functions so that they could be controlled via a remote control. For now disregard what the overall outcome I want to achieve is... what I want to know is if enabling the WOL and/or keyboard wake function will allow me to turn on the PC from a completely powered down state as opposed to just powering up from a sleep/hybernation mode. I have read people with other motherboards have been able to power up by using their keyboard, mouse or even WOL when the computer is totally shut down. I'm trying to avoid leaving the PC in a sleep/hybernation mode due to electricity usage. Does this motherboard have the ability to power up when the whole system is shut down?
    Also, what key on the keyboard is used to wake up the computer? The manual and bios instructions say nothing about what key needs to be pressed to wake it up.

    I know you can set various wake options in the bios. Check there!
    You can wake up the computer by wriggling the mouse or pressing any key, if the options are enabled in the bios.
    Hope this helps

  • Post problem with K8N Neo Platinum

    I am assembling a system for a friend and it hangs according to D-Bracket2 on Processor initialization (Led 1:red, led 2:green, led 3: green led 4: red)
    Specs
    PSU:   Codegen 350W    ( 3,3V   14A
                                           5V     30A
                                           12V    15A  )
    VGA:   Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
    CPU:   AMD Athlon 3000+
    HDD:   Seagate 7200.7  120GB  in   SATA1-port
    DVD:   MSI DR8-A  DVD Burner
    RAM:   M-Tec 512MB  DDR400
    If the problem is the processor it should hang on Power On (all leds red), right?
    There's some damage done to CPU fan connector so the sensor wire from the CPU fan might have no connection to the mobo. How about ESD-damage, can it cause this?
    Another thing I might have done wrong is connecting front panel connectors.
    I am just hoping and praying that the processor is OK and the mobo causes this.

    Thanks to RacerX for answering but the problem wasn't the PSU.
    Mobo caused it and I replaced it.  I think it was the physical damage I mentioned in the first post. I also changed hdd from SATA1-port to SATA3-port but I don't think it matters.
    Now everything works fine so +12V/15 Amps is enough.
    Does the K8N Neo Platinum hang on Processor Init if it doesn't detect CPU Cooler?

  • 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

    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..

  • MSI K8N Neo Platinum & Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM Problem

    I have had MSI K8N Neo Platinum and 1x Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM for 11 months.
    I have had 1x Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM for 2.5 months, for a total of two.
    I have had MSI GeForce 6600GT (NX6600GT-VTD) 128MB AGP for 1 month.
    For about 1.5 to 2 weeks, I have been seeing random crashes while playing PC games.
    I started a thread on the Hard OCP forums a few days ago.  I did not know MSI had forums =)
    Rather than re-typing, I may as well just post the link:
    http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=934956
    My issue is also similar to this one:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=83799.0
    Thanks for the help.

    ALL RIGHT, after almost    FOUR    months my issue is FINALLY    resolved.
    It is amazing how much time passes when you are hesitant to buy parts unless you are 95% sure it will fix the problem.
    OK, here is an update as to what I remember.
    I went to BIOS 1.4 and tried many different physical and BIOS RAM configurations (Different seating, different number of DIMMs, different RAM timings, voltages, etc).
    I concluded that I could not make my PC 100% stable, but I could get it darn close.  With certain settings, such as DDR400, 2-2-2-6, 1T, 2.80V, Aggressive Timing enabled, Memtest failed test #5 every time (this is spec for my RAM).  With other settings, such as DDR333, 2.5-3-3-7, 2T, Auto V, Aggressive Timing enabled, Memtest failed test #5 maybe once out of 5000.
    I also concluded that the RAM voltage and Aggressive Timing setting was having a big impact.  Some settings would not work (failed Memtest) with RAM at 2.80V but would work with RAM at Auto V.  Some settings would not work (failed Memtest) with Aggressive Timing enabled but would work with it disabled.
    Finally, I started to occasionally get R,G,R,G (Processor Initialization) on the D-Bracket upon cold-start & warm-start, which suggests a PSU issue:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=76972.msg542545#msg542545
    That pushed me over the top, and I decided to buy a new PSU (TG-480-U22) and a new SATA HDD (WD2500KS) just because.
    Problem solved.  Thanks for all the help.
    I will continue to buy MSI in the future just because of these forums…and a good product of course!

  • MSI K8N Neo Platinum with Vapochill Case problems - Help anyone. :)

    Hi all,
    Had a bit of a tricky problem and as Im new to this board I have no idea what could be causing this.
    First all all system specs:
    Athlon 64 3700+ Clawhammer
    MSI K8N Neo Platinum -
    1 gig Corsair XMS ProL Low Latency Ram (2 x 512mb)
    Nvidia Gefore 6600GT
    1 x WD Raptor 10000rpm HD
    NEC 2500a DVD writer.
    Eye-T 550w PSU.
    Vapochill SE Case with installed Vapochill Phase change cooling.
    Here are photos of it in its present state, you will notice that it isnt installed in the case at the moment.
    The reason for that is because the two wont work together and I want them to so so bad...
    So, hopefully someone here can save the day for me - here goes.
    I have tested the Motherboard and all other componants outside of the case and everything runs smoothly and there are no problems what so ever, great.
    I have also retested the Vapochill case with another motherboard and that also works without a hitch.
    The problem comes when I insall the MSI board into the system, all hooked with a really basic setup, PSU, Case cooling, CPU and Ram. Flick the on switch on the power suply and the system turns on for around 1/2 a second then turns off again. I found this strange because it soundnt come on at all until I press the power button.
    If I press the power button the same thing will happen over and over.
    I have tried a different powersupply and this does nothing at all.
    I have checked for shorts and there is no possible way it is shorting on anything.
    I have a fan plugged in where the CPU fan would go and this doesnt help.
    I have taken it back out and tested it again and it still works ok.
    Does this sound familiar to anyone? Are there any secret Bio's menu's that would have an option that would solve this?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Glenn

    When you are running the MoBo standalone, what are you connecting to the Power, Reset, HDD, etc. pins ?  Are you using the wires from the Vapochill case, or something else ?  It looks like a single cable with an intermittent switch (red/white cable).  I once had a similar sort of problem and it was because I hadn't connected up (the incredibly fiddly) cables correctly.  Other than that, I would have gone for a short of some sort - but you have checked that already, so . . . .
    As to the system starting to power-up when you switch on the PSU, I wouldn't worry too much about this.  It seems to happen from time to time with some of my systems - amongst other things, the BIOS can be set to resume to previous state after a power-fail.

Maybe you are looking for
