K8N Neo Platinum with Venice vcore problem

Hello,
I got a new Socket754 CPU Venice E6 3000+ and replaced it with NewCastle CG 3200+.
But BIOS indicates VCORE is 1.9V+. It's obvious that it's too high and also CPU temp is 0C/32F.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Athlon64 3000+ Venice E6
K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030) BIOS 2.1
WD Raptor 36GB
Reserator1 Plus
Seasonic S12 500W
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
SB Audigy2

Please create your own rig and put in your sig with details of PSU and BIOS rev. Have you OC'ing your pc recently?

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.

K8N Neo platinum with 3 Ram slots full?

Looking to upgrade my Athlon 64 3400+ (ClawHammer C0) from 1GB to 2GB.
One of the options would be to add a 1GB DIMM to the two existing 512MBs. I know this would drop me back to DDR333, but would there be other problems?
The board's a K8N Neo Platinum.
Thanks in advance
Derek

It really depends on your processor, since that is where the memory controller is. The newer Sempron 64 based on venice cores can handle 3 dimm's at 400 mhz fine (I think)
Newcastle cores and the older Sempron have issues, im not familiar with them so I dont know.
well, your close.....newcastles (least the one i have) and venices (for sure) can handle the 3dimms (in most cases....depending on ram brand, timings, etc...) and keep the 400mhz. i know i read a review somewhere that the memory controllers on clawhammers are Low Latency Brand picky. most of them would produce errors out the wazzoo with (for example: corsair 2-3-3-6 1t memory ) common ultra brand memory. i remember this review showing the twinmos wouldnt even post. i had a choice between two processors (3400+ clawhammer and the newcastle i have) i wanted the clawhammer cause i here they are wannabee fx's in the makin when overclockin but i did my homework (read/searched many reviews) and found that the clawhammer and using 3 double sided LL memory modules was a shot in the air. didnt want to take that chance for 512k more cache and have a unstable puter. i MUST have my patriot memory (cause they rock...) so when newcastle came i placed my dual channel (512mb x 2) kit in and walla....workin fine...placed my 1 gig stick in..... .......i bet the clawhammer would of worked (since i havent herd any issues with memory and clawhammers) but didnt want to take the chance.
what was your cpu stepping may i ask?? CO was the big booger that had memory picky issues and not being able to use 3 dimms at 400mhz stable.
edit to my previous post.....
1 dimm used (dont matter on what size of memory module) would yield the best bandwidth scores. 2 or 3 dimms being used would yield same scores (and not matter which stick in what slot.....all combos gave me pretty much same scores).

K8n neo Platinum and Optical Drive problem?

I need some help figuring this out. I've been searching for awhile but can't find any more information so I figured I'd ask here.
I have a Lite on LDW 411s dvd writer that is on the same ide channel as a lite on dvd player (labled as JLMS SJ-HD1665 in the device manager.
The problem is on the 411S where it will read the DVD/CD disk but when I try to use Cyberlink PowerDVD or Nero Recode to play or read the DVD it will just hang. If I don't try to play these files and just open them in explorer then I can access them.
I'm trying to see if there are some conflict issues with the nforce drivers but am still looking.
My setup is this.
AMD 64 3000+
K8n Neo Platinum nforce 3 250 Bios 1.4
Western Digital 120 gb hd
PQI 3200 1 gig memory
PNY 6800 GT
Audigy 2
Antec Trupower 420
Any help would be great as I'm totally stuck. Thanks.
Also to note I can play DVDs and use recode fine off the DVD rom drive but just not off the DVD writer (411s).

You might have better luck making the reader the slave on the channel your HD is on. I had both a burner/writer on the same channel and while it worked, the performance was very poor.
Man, I need to get around to posting my specs someday, but I have the same MB and BIOS as you. I'm also using the nForce unified drivers including IDE.

K8N Neo Platinum and Maxtor HD problem

I have a K8N Neo Platinum MB with the v1.3 Bios installed.
I have 2 physical HDs:
IDE Primary Master: 120G Western Digital WD1200JB (7200RPM)
IDE Primary Slave: 120G Maxtor 6Y120L0 (7200RPM)
The MB sees both drives in the BIOS, however, in Windows XP, I only see the master drive. The slave drive is not recognized within windows. I tried finding the slave drive with the MS Computer Management application and PartitionMagic as well - neither can see the slave drive.
There is something strange about the BIOS screen.
You can see that the primary master is highlighted (in red). The primary slave drive is visibly but it's not showing properly. You can see that the name of the slave drive is all the way to the left and the "]" character is all the way on right panel, next to "Press [Enter]". The name of the slave drive is wrong. The BIOS is showing something garbled. It looks something like "8t/r 6!128". It's tottaly confused :(
I can even select the primary slave drive:
That's not right!
Pressing enter on the slave drive shows the slave drive (Maxtor 120G) properies:
However, Windows XP will not recognize the slave drive.
I ain't sure what wrong but it appears to be a BIOS problem - why would the BIOS display be so messed up like that ??
I'm not sure what to do. :(

Yea, I'm really mad because not only will this board not recognize my slave driver properly, it may have also killed my X800 Pro video card
I moved my working X800 Pro video card from my old MB to my new one and when I turned it on, the X800 Pro was dead.
I then reinstalled my old MB, hoping it was merely a faulty MB that was the problem, however, my X800 Pro is quite dead now
I'm not sure if it was me who damaged the X800 Pro or it was the MSI K8N motherboard - either way it's dead
My experence so far with my new MSI MB has been horrible !!

K8n neo platinum and hard drive problem...

greetings...
well, I have K8n neo platinum mobo with SATA1 controller, and I bought WD 250 GB sata2. I did set up jumper to limit transfer to SATA1 mode on my new drive (although I tried it without jumper, it is the same). Hard disk is working but, I have varying trasfer rate when I copy files from WD250 on other drives, and when copying on that drive. Transfer is going fine, and then it goes very very slow, then again fast, then again slow...And, sometimes, when I am copying large amount of data on that drive, my computer freezes. When I test sustained speed, it is different almost every time (goes from 14 to 65)...
I searched thru internet - with no sucess. I have very good power for my PC. I changed sata cables, and power cables. I updated all drivers. I tried installing XP IDE drivers for that new SATA2 hard disk. I tried almost everything, and with no sucess. WD250 is working fine for, let's say, a couple of hours, and then it again goes slow with varying transfer rate when copying. I also have a very good cooling system, so it's not because of overheating. I contacted WD, they told me to run their diagnostic tool, and the disk was healthy. They said that drive is ok then, and that it is probably my mobo that is causing problems.
anyone have a clue what is going on?
thanx in advance

damn...
can't believe no one ever had similar problem...

K8N Neo Platinum with Nvidia Unified Audio Drivers

Hi, I have two hard drives in my PC. I'm testing out the feasibility of me running X64 at the moment. I have newly installed X64 Windows XP on one new 2nd drive and used 5-5_xp64_dd_cp.exe for my ATI 9800 pro card with no problems. Then I have installed the nForce_6.25_WinXP64_international.exe audio drivers for my on board Realtek AC97 because i have heard they are better than the Realtek drivers themselves and the Nvmixer utility looks good. Ok, no problems.
I was so impressed with the X64 Nvidia drivers that I have decided in the meantime to replace the Realtek drivers with Nvidia ones on my 1st drive that has already got Windows XP Pro installed on it. So I uninstalled the Realtek and replaced them with these nForce_5.10_WinXP2K_WHQL_english.exe unified audio drivers.
But, for some reason, they dont work. As I understand, the Nforce 5.10 are unified drivers and should replace the original Realtek ones i had installed on my 1st drive. I see no speaker icon on my taskbar and when i click to open nvmixer on my programs list, a message appears stating it cannot open as there is no nvidia compatible sound hardware present in my machine. I already know this is not the case as the X64 Nvidia drivers work for my X64 installation on the 2nd drive.
Any ideas what i am doing wrong?

The sound quality on those compared to the 4.57 standalone nvidia (that has its own version of the realtek AC97 codec and updated interface drivers) is not as good. Theres a long thread on here if you search for it for peoples opinions.

Shovon, the latest AC97 drivers from www.msicomputer.com will work perfectly for the K8N Neo2 Platinum
I currently have thwm running and have no problems
Go to that website, put the cursor over the 'Support' header and a drop down menu appears.
Click on Downloads.
Scroll down till you see the mother board K8N Neo2 Platinum(under the main heading Slot 939/K8)
Click on the link, and you'll come to the drivers page.
The Listed AC97 drivers that are the latest are there.

K8n neo platinum with 3-4 gig

does anybody have this board running with either 3 or 4 gig of ram? Details please??
I thought I was buying a ddr400 board for 4 gig of ram. I'm a little pissed that i will probably end up with 3 gig at ddr 333. If i can't even get that then i'll have to replace with a good motherboard.
Thanks,

It's a k8n neo2 platinum
The memory charts and specs are confusing and contridictory and wrong. They esentialy duplicate what's in my manual.
page 8: chart for DDr 400 showing 128 to 1 gig on each channel and system density of 512 to 4 gig
just below that is another chart for memory combinations that shows 4 double sided dimms runs at DDR 333
Since there is no such thing as a single sided 1 gig dimm i'll assume the first chart is wrong.
in between is a note that says installing 3 modules can cause failure.
page 9: a note says the system density will only be detected up to 3 gig when all slots are filled with 1 gig dimms.
This seems to imply that I have to install 4 1 gig dimms to get 3 gigs usable. and there is aparently no way to get 4 gigs usable. Despite the numerous other places in the manual and msi's website that call this a 4 gig board.
After studying the manual, and msi's website, I don't know what the max memory is for this board or what to buy to get there. I'm reluctant to spend anymore money on memory that won't work unless somebody else has tried it first. There aparently are a lot of people running 2 1 gig modules sucessfully, but I need more. Is anybody running 3 or 4 gig?

K8N neo Platinum - Possible RAID & ATI problem?

Shortly after installing XP onto my new RAID 0 setup, I installed Direct X9, nVidia nForce3 drivers and the Radeon drivers. This combination worked fine before I set up RAID 0 so it should work fine this time, right?
Wrong.
After I install the Radeon drivers, it asks for a reboot. Now normaly, it would reboot, windows XP would load and then the screen would go black for a second, then the desktop would appear. I guess this is the new driver kicking in and after that, I can reboot how many times I like and the screen woulden't go black because the drivers have already initialised. Right? With me so far?
This time, however, there is a huge delay before the screen goes black and the driver initialises. Even after it does, and windows is graphicaly alot faster, 3D apps take an age to load... like the 3DMark2003 logo will just sit there for ages, then finally load... the test itself isn't giving me the score I had before, it's a couple of hundred short, and there is nothing different about my system other than using RAID 0. Every reboot I get the same thing, a delay in driver initialisation... once there was even an area of the screen which was corrupted but it went away when I refreshed the desktop.
Can anyone shed some light on this? I can't believe RAID would cause this problem but I have no idea what else it could be... I doubt it's the K8N either, despite the numberous problems people have had.
One thing worth mentioning, it is a 9800pro flashed to XT (has the R360 core) and it's running at 9800XT speeds. It's run fine like this before, with the Artic Cooler installed, I hope it hasn't decided to start dying on me
Also, when I was trying to setup RAID 0, I had to use SATA ports 1 and 3?! I could not use 1&2 or 3&4 without problems with XP RAID setup during installation.
I am not overclocking either...

Yea, I'm really mad because not only will this board not recognize my slave driver properly, it may have also killed my X800 Pro video card
I moved my working X800 Pro video card from my old MB to my new one and when I turned it on, the X800 Pro was dead.
I then reinstalled my old MB, hoping it was merely a faulty MB that was the problem, however, my X800 Pro is quite dead now
I'm not sure if it was me who damaged the X800 Pro or it was the MSI K8N motherboard - either way it's dead

MSI K8N Neo Platinum with Raid 0

Hi, I had face problem when Raid 0 try to run Windows XP. While i at windows logon screen, my system will auto restart. no even one time i can login to windows.
i download the latest raid driver from MSI website for the driver but the problem can't solve. what actually is the problem there? is that the latest raid driver not really supported for nForce 3 board?
thank alot.

This has been a real mess for a long time.
Sometimes a newer or older driver with a certain version doesn't work well with a given nvraid.rom firmware .
BIOS 1.4 for MS-7030 has the nvraid firmware "NVIDIA RAID IDE ROM BIOS 4.59" .
And in theory you should use nvraid.sys nvatabus.sys with version 4.59 if you stay with that bios version.
Newest bios for MS7030/MS7025 have nvraid rom firmware 4.81 .
The BIOS 1.7 (most usable one) for MS-7030 have "NVIDIA RAID IDE ROM BIOS 4.60" .
The nvraid driver files in nvidia package 5.10 use 4.46 and this works with your bios version .
The delivered floppy called NVSA020 use driver 4.15 and it's way to old to use , so you have to
create an updated driver floppy.
Note ! that from firmware "NVIDIA RAID IDE ROM BIOS 4.84" new drivers from 6.86 package work great.
But no NF3's have this rom version .
The 4.79 driver disk mentioned by LairdDrambeg is a great "allround" that works with most bios versions rom firmware as far as I know.

K8N Neo Platinum and BGF 6800GT problem

Hey
recnetly set up my board, and having some issues with freeze midgame and really poor 3d mark scores, i.e. im getting 22000 in 2001!!
How do i stop this problem, and power shoudnt be a problem given the power supply i have, so would anyone have an idea?
What should i set the bios up to look like and anything in XP i should be doing?
thanks

Not sure about the mid-game freeze, but your 3DMark01 is spot-on with that score, if not a bit high. My 3500+ gets ~22.5k at stock, but at 2.5GHz I get 24645. It's very CPU limited so your video card isn't going to make much of a difference past a certain point.
What games are you experiencing lock-ups in?
I'll try to cover all bases here, so some things might help, others not:
1: Make sure your power inputs are connected properly (I know, it seems so obvious it's insulting, sorry).
2: Disable NV/ATI speedup in the BIOS. To reveal hidden BIOS options and reach this setting hit Shift+F2 and ALT+F3 all at the same time. Someone let me know if that's the wrong combo but I think it's correct.
3: Grab the 71.20 FW drivers, they're about the best you can get right now, don't get the crap 66.93 officials, their performance doesn't compare in most situations.
4: Disable Fast Writes in the BIOS; sometimes this has helped fix stutter problems, but if you're getting FREEZES... well it might not help.
5: Drop all clocks to stock settings and see what happens. If that works, try different OC settings if you want.
6: Update your games, of course.
7: Defragment your hard drive.
I highly recommend downloading 3DMark03, 05 and AQ3 and reporting your scores there and whether or not you get freezes/stutter in those benchmarks. 3DMark03 and 05 are more video card intensive and should exploit the problem you're having. AQ3 might do it too.
Just suggestions, nothing's guaranteed to work. Post back though if you have any new information or if you get it fixed.

K8N Neo Platinum Hypertransport x5 speed problem

I updated BIOS to version 1.80. I saw a new option in setup... It was a 5x speed of Hypertransport. When i set HT speed to 5x the system had hangs, sometimes rebooted automatically... When i set it back to 4x everything is stable. Why is this hapening and how to set the 5x HT speed and have a stable machine??

Rad,
HT Frequency 4 or 5 (4x for 745 CPU and 5 X for 939)
Also check your FSB max for your motherboard and CPU it should be either 800 or 1000 MHz. This is your max FSB limitation and you cannot normally exceed it. So if your are OCing your system you take into account the speed you set into CPU FSB Frequency. For example if your Board Max FSB speed limit is 800 MHz:
1- 200 MHz X 4 = 800 MHz (You're OK)
2- 200 MHz X 5 = 1000 MHz (Limit exceed system will hang)
3- You OC to 246 MHz X 4 = 984 MHz (Limit exceed system will hang)
4- You OC to 246 MHz X 3 = 688 MHz (You're OK but your system performance will be likely degraded due to reduce bandwidth)
Hope this is helpful to you,

The same old problem with temperatures (K8N Neo Platinum)

I have problems since bios v1.0 on my K8N Neo Platinum with temeparutes.
I have installed a Prometeia Mach II St colling unit
I Tested the v1.0 official bios, the temperature was allways -65º full ou idle, what it is impossivel.
In the moment i flashed the bios to v1.2b5, temperature changed to 49º, and I did not move in nothing. The same temperature appears in all bios since v1.2b5. Now I have the v1.4b2 bios
Sorry the Bad English

Here are the instructions to reflash the BIOS for your K8 Neo. I am currently running ver.1.4 with little problems. My only snafu is the LED for my optical mouse stays lit even when system is off, however I have no RAID, Ethernet, onboard sound, or SATA drives. I have just a simple basic system, and I don't overclock. My board is the K8 Neo Platinum socket 754, with an AMD64 3000+. YOU MUST HAVE A FLOPPY DRIVE CONNECTED TO SYSTEM FOR THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO WORK!.
Flashing BIOS on K8 Neo per MSI. READ ALL instructions before starting.
1.Check your BIOS for flashing protection and disable it.
2. Know your board model#. a. Open case and find model# on the board between the PCI slots, or b., boot system and at first DOS screen you will see 'W7030ver1.4122101'. This means you have a MSI model 7030 motherboard with BIOS version 1.4 issued on 12/21/01.
3.Download the Bios that matches your motherboard model and version#.(I believe the Neo Plat had two versions, 1.0 and 1.1). I have 1.0. It will be found between the PCI slots. Create a folder on C: drive labeled 'C:\TEST'
4.EXtract the BIOS file to C:\TEST folder.
5.Create a boot floppy. For XP, at Desktop double click My Computer, right click floppy drive, click Format to format the disk, then click 'Create MS-DOS Boot Disk'.
6. Set boot order to floppy. Hit F11 to select boot device.
7. Insert boot floppy and restart system.
8. At A:\ prompt type in the following,
C:\ (enter)
cd\TEST(enter)
awdfl833c(space)w7030nms.130
The w7030nms.130 is the BIOS file name you downloaded to C:\TEST. Keep in mind you're dealing with DOS file names, so you may need to open a DOS window in Windows, and search C drive for the TEST folder and write down the DOS file name of the BIOS file BEFORE you start the BIOS update.
9. Reboot when prompted. It shouldn't take more than 10 seconds to update the BIOS.

Turn on PC with keyboard [K8N Neo Platinum]

Is it possible to turn your pc on by pressing a button on your keyboard? I have a friend with an old pc (1,5 ghz P4), and he claims that he can turn his pc on that way.
So technically I'm asking you if you know how to do that. Is there a BIOS option in which you can configure the keyboard button on which your computer will respond and go on automatically? That would be very handy.
My motherboard is the K8N Neo Platinum with a 3000+ socket 754. He has an ASUS motherboard.
Thanks.

Check the manual. It should be an option in the bios. I have it in my bios for my board, but when I helped someone put together their machine with a K8N Platinum 2, I didn't see this as an option in that bios. It may be that power on by keyboard and/or mouse is not an option for your board.

Memory Corruption on K8N Neo Platinum - HELP!

I am having some problems with my cousin’s computer that I built for her last September. She brought me the computer because she got an error that the system32/config/system file was corrupted and couldn’t boot the computer. I got the file replaced and got the computer re-updated to where it worked. Then the same thing happened again. This time I did a Windows reinstall and the computer acted a little sluggish and iffy so I did a memory test. I found the memory was all corrupted.
First here are the pc specs:
MSI K8N Neo Platinum with 1.7 bios
Athlon 64 3000+
120GB Seagate SATA hard drive
NEC DVD Burner and Samsung DVD ROM
Radeon 9550
512MB Corsair Value Select 2.5CL DDR400
Antec 350W psu and Antec Case
I ran Memtest86+ v1.6 and the Corsair stick had errors in Test 3, 4, 5, and 7. In tests 3 and 4 there are 50 errors but at the 98% of Test 5, the errors jumped to 146,432 and they were 500.8MB part of the stick. I got the same results when I moved it to DIMM2 slot. I also get the same results when the HT is at 1x or 4x.
I tried a known working 512MB stick from my sisters Athlon XP 2500+ pc in the A64 pc. It is a Mushkin PC3200 Basic stick. I get errors only at 98% of Test 5 which amounts to 109,568 errors. Same results in DIMM2 slot.
But when I test the Mushkin in my sisters pc, it has no errors. But the Corsair stick in the AXP pc gets errors on Tests 1, 3, 4, 5 (only at the 98% mark), 6, 7, 8 but only a total of 317 (a lot less than 146,000 in the A64 pc.)
So, I know the Corsair memory is bad, but now something is also wrong with the motherboard and /or cpu right?
If you need any more info let me know. I’m new to the forums and they look very helpful.
Thanks.

Look in the bios and loosen up the RAM settings. Make sure the RAM isn't being stressed into settings that are too hard for it to handle.
See I told you to loosen it up...
I speak from experience as the same happened to me and loosening settings stopped errors.
Glad you managed it, well done...
