K8N Neo2 Driver Problem with PCI Bridge.

I updated the Bios on this machine last night to 1.04 from 1.03
K8N - Neo2
AMD 3500+ Retail Kit with Cooler
Antec True430W 3.3v/28A 5v/36A 12v/26A
OCZ 2X512 EL DDR400 PC 3200 Plat Ed Dual Channel
Seagate Barracuda 120g 7200 rpm SATA
TSST Corp DVD-ROM TS-H
ATI Radeon 9000 64mb AGP
Windows XP SP2
It started acting funny several hours after the update of the Bios, this AM it spontaneously rebooted and when it came up there was an error message about a damaged or corrupt Windows system file and suggested inserting the Windows Disk, which was done and then the system booted into windows. But the found new hardware came up and wanted driver for the PCI bridge, which I wasn't sure where it was so I let it complete without finding it and this is the error when I go to control panel/system/hardware/device mgr
Where do I get this driver? Is it on the driver disk that came with the motherboard? I don't remember having to install a driver for the PCI bridge.
thanks

OK I thought I'd post the resolution to my problem.
After my initial posts the machine not only became unstable but it wouldn't boot into windows saying there was a corrupt Windows System File.
1.  It occured to me that when I downloaded the new bios and applied it that I had failed to customize the DRAM settings in the bios. This was important because when I was building the machine I couldn't get Windows XP to install it always pooped out someplace early in the install.  At the time I was using default DRAM settings.  But I came here and read through the forum and found a sticky at the top of the forum that had settings for a number of different memory sticks including mine. So I went back and updated my bios with those setting. Voila everything was cool and I was able to load windows and move forward.   But I forgot that, and I attribute the instability of the system to that, wheter or not it was why the system eventually corrupted system board dirvers I don't know.  But I did change that, as the system would boot but just not boot windows.
2. Next, I decided to attempt to repair my windows install.  However first since I had already applied SP2, and my Install disk was just the plain retail without any Service Packs.  I decided to make a new bootable install disk with SP2 slipstreamed into it so when I repaired I wouldn't have to reapply SP2.    Here's the method that I used.
http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/winxp-sp2-bootcd.html
3.  Utilized the windows repair feature of windows setup.
4. That worked my computer now booted into windows and I didn't lose data or configurations....whew!!
5.  I still how ever was stuck with the original problem that started this thread..rats!! I thought SP2 would fix that.
6.  I tried several times to get XP to update the driver, but I couldn't.  I even tried to select the driver from the list that is one of the optioins when you are updating drivers.  I found some but I wasn't sure which one that had PCI bridge in it was the right one. But the fact that when I was looking at the list of mfg only Compaq and NVidia were available. So a light bulb went off and opened up MSI Live  and looked at what was available in drivers, and sure enought there was a NVida driver.  So I figured I have nothing to lose.
7. Next I downloaded the latest NVida nForce3 system driverfrom MSI and applied.
8.  Bingo that worked, no more yellow ?'s in my hardware list.
Machine working fine now.  Still don't know if failing to insert the proper DRAM stuff caused this but it all started with the new bios so I am assuming it had some part.

    [Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

    First post, whoo hooo   
    So what version of BIOS are u running?  I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems.  With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you.  Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems.  Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
    Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

  • RESOLVED - K8N Neo2 Platinum problem with large Seagate disk

    Hi All,
    I've been running this system for 4 years and I'm very happy with it. But I've run into a problem:
    I'm trying to exchange my 120 GB Seagate Barracuda systemdisk with a 500 GB Barracuda and I can't install XP with SP2.
    First I tried to clone the old HD with Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image. The cloning looked fine but after taking the old HD out and moving the new one to P-ATA 1 as Primary Master I get an "error - no operating system found". I also tried a fresh install from CD. After the CD reboots the system I get the same error.
    The HD is present in BIOS with the right parameters and all is looking well - but still no go.
    I've fiddled around in BIOS (vers. 1.3) with the different settings (LBA, Large, Auto, Csh.) The last 2 options gives the "no operating system" error and the first 2 gives a "disk error" although Seagate says that I should change settings to "LBA".
    I only have the new HD in the machine. I also tried fixboot and fixmbr. I can see all the installed files when I put it in as a slave.
    So my question is:
    Does the K8N Neo2 Platinum have a problem with large hd's as system disk?
    Or is this a Seagate or Windows problem ?
    Any help is much appreciated!
    Mads

    Actually that was the first thing I did just to see if the drive worked :-) - except that I had it as master on the second ide cable. It formats like it should and all partitions report "healthy". The only difference is that the new drives c-partition is set as active (can't find a way to change it back)  - while the old one is set as system. Could this make a difference ?
    Since neither cloning nor a fresh install works I think the problem is something else. Maybe I should try Seatools and see if that makes any difference.
    Thank's all for help so far! - Other suggestions ?

  • K8N Neo2: Another problem with the BIOS 1.9

    I flashed my K8N Neo2 with the BIOS 1.9, I lost the MAC address of the NVIDIA NIC. I fixed the problem reflashing the BIOS with the /nvmac:XXXXXXXXXXXX /wb options. Loaded the default settings and set the boot priority, the new BIOS is unable to boot from my Adaptec 19160 SCSI controller: it try always to boot to the NVIDIA NIC. It seems that the NVIDIA NIC has a higher boot priority than other external boot devices and it's impossible to change it.
    The settings are:
    First boot divice: Floppy
    Secind boot device: Hard-Disk
    Third boot device: CD-Rom
    Hard disk boot priority:
    1. Adaptec SCSI
    2. NV RAID
    3. Other boot device
    I reflashed the BIOS with the old 1.8 and now the system works well ...
    Thank you for the attention

    hi I got an enormous problem configuring this drive on the msi k8n neo2platinum (bios 1.9)

    thanx

    BTW -
    Here's a thread about your prob to check out. I thought it was totally solved for all nvidia chipsets, guess not. Nf3's seem to still have it to some extent. It seems Maxtor is the one that "dropped the ball" this time...

  • I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS

    I have problem with adobe bridge cs6. Every time I open it Bridge tells me to Purge Cache. I have CS6 on two computers and it works fine on one of them. I have tried to reinstall it without succeeding to fix the problem. Does anyone have the same problem and a solution to it?
    "Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation."

    You must have a Mac.  Try this.
    Quit Bridge, from user library (NOT system and root library) preferences folder find and delete the com.adobe.bridge5.plist file manual. Do this also in same user library caches folder (Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6) and inhere find and the folder called 'cache' and drag it to the trash.
    restart Bridge holding down option key and choose reset preferences, then try again.

    Driver problems with Windows Professional XP 64bit Edition

    Well, after looking around the forum here I found an answer that works! I wish I could remember who to give credit too though. I installed the latest Vista drivers and I got static all the time. I tried another members suggestion of disabling the X-Fi device in the Device manager every time I log off and then enable the X-Fi the next time I log in. I have great sound as long as I do that. Also, for connecting to a home system I am using the DTS-60, $00 on this website, but it works well if you havea DTS decoder. I am using the X-Fi extreme Music edition. Good Luck, hopefully another driver is on the way.

  • K8N Neo2 strange behavior with SATA enable DMA transfers

    K8N Neo2 with Maxtor 6B250S0 250GB SATA drive on SATA3 and Maxtor 6B200S0 200GB SATA drive on SATA4.  No RAID.  I use SATA3/4 because I have read that SATA1/2 are not locked with the PCI bus.  I do overclock a bit.     I have SATA1/2 disabled in the bios.
    The 250GB drive is for my applications, and the 200GB drive is for holding backups.  I use Drive Image 2002 to create image files of my partitions.  To create an image of my main partition, Drive Image boots to DOS.  I noticed that the drive performance under DOS was slow.  After a bit of testing, I discovered that enabling DMA transfers for SATA fixes the problem.  This makes sense, because under Windows the IDE drivers provide DMA access, but under DOS the hardware itself needs to provide DMA function.  But here is what's strange... I have to enable DMA for both SATA channels!     So even though I am using only one of the channels, and have the other disabled in the bios, I have to enable DMA transfers for both channels in order to have good performance under DOS.
    This occurs under both 1.4 and 1.5 bios versions.  This isn't a big problem and appears to be just a bios bug of some sort, but I thought I would post my findings here in case someone else is getting poor performance under DOS.
    BTW, does anyone know why these options default to disabled in the bios?

    BTW, does anyone know why these options default to disabled in the bios?
    It makes sense when windows and the drivers provide it .
    But not e.g when installing an OS or doing dos based or windows preinstall enviroment imaging .
    I have also thought it's strange they have it disabled at default .
    Atleast they should be enabled with "load optimized defaults" .
    Just something we have to be aware off i guess .
    This is one of the bios entrys i always ajust when starting with a default bios load .
    Nice tip about having both enabled , wasn't aware of that .
    Just been having the habit of enabling both 1/2 and 3/4 each time even if ports are used or not .

  • K8N Neo2, wierd problems

    Hey all, I am new here
    I looked through all the post but did not find anything related to my problem.
    I have had  my rig almost a month without any problems but all of a sudden the computer just rebooted itself right in the middle of a simple (not 3d) game. It just kept rebooting after it reached the Windows logo and I would get error message like "IRQ was not less or equal" and the great Windows has stop your computer because of hardware failer, system will shut down. I tried to do a restore but XP could not find the HD, when I tried to run XP from CD it would not load due to hardware failer and I could not get into safe mode. Sometimes in the BIOs the BIOs would be corrubted, get those greek letters and things, just sometimes.
    I stripped the thing down to just barebones, CPU, ram, vid and cleared cmos.
    I first determined that the onboard IDE controller was bad, when I moved my HD to the PCI IDE controller the errors changed but XP kept restarting, but it now gave me a NT loader error which took me to the ram.
    I pulled the ram and tried 1 stick at a time, turned out that 1 of the 512MB modules went bad, with that the computer started up and seemed to run fine. I connected everything back up and things still ran fine, just could not use the onboard IDE controller as Windows would not pick anything up on it. The next day I work on it some more, put the HD back onto the onboard IDE controller and it worked again.
    But then my PS2 mouse port went dead, switched back to my USB and all seems well so far.
    I used a VOM and checked the 3.3, 5 and 12 volt rails, all were within specs, no drops even under a stress test, CPU temps are fine.
    Anyone else have seen anything like this 
    I have already received a RMA from Newegg on the MB but before I send it back I want to see if there is a solution to my problem.
    My gut feeling tells me P/S but it test good. Been running 2 days now without any problems but I am worried that it may happen again.
    My other thought is that maybe a zener diode, cap or voltage regulator on the MB may be going bad.
    Any one have an idea about this, should I just send it back and get another MB or is this a growing MSI problem
    Thanks for any input.
    I have the following:
    Windows XP home with SP2, fresh install and all updates
    K8N Neo2 nForce3 Ultra, stock settings right now, BIO updated to 1.B0
    64 3500+ Venice, stock settings
    1 Gig PATRIOT memory, 2*512MB running dual channel settings all auto/ stock
    420W Vantec P/S, 420a
    ATI 9550
    80 Gig WD
    20 Gig WD
    Sony CD-RW
    52x CD-Rom
    PCI SiI 0680 Ultra 133 Medley ATA raid controller: Running slave HD and CD-rom on it, no raid setup

    JayBee;
    I used the VOM whilel running the stress test with everything hooked up, even played intense 3d games with the VOM connected back-probing the pins 1,2 and 11 (orange wires) of the MB power connector for the 3.3 volt rail and then back-probing the molex cable for my 5 and 12 volt rails.
    I cleared the cmos by by pulling the P/S cable then turning on the P/S to discharge caps, after this i used the "clear cmos" jumper and then went back in and set everything bak up.
    As I have said, even with just a basic setup, CPU, 1 stick of ram and vid I still got the problems, it wasn't until I moved my C:\ HD to the PCI IDE controller and the one bad stick of ram that I could get XP to start up.
    I moved the C;\ drive back to the onboard IDE and again XP would not load, the next day I tried it again and all of a sudden the onboard IDE were working again. The very next day while playing my PS2 mouse went dead, plugged my USB mouse in and have been playing ever since. Very wierd stuff, like a bad diode gate or somthing, don't really know.

  • K8n neo2 platinum problems

     
    ok guys I've been looking all over the internet and cannot find any answers to my problem.
    I have an MSI K8N neo2 platinum running easybios
    AMD Opteron 146
    2gb Ballistixs pc4000
    30gb maxtor
    120gb maxtor
    2x dvd rw drives
    nvidia 6800 agp
    sound blaster live 24bit
    I run windows x64 and after flashing my bios form 1.6 (I think) to 1b I kept getting errors e.g. "ROM cannot invoke" (or something), and primarily "disk read error", now the disks show up in the bios, they show up in a windows install but it just won't boot from them. I have flashed to easybios and the rom error went away but the disk read one was still there. I am now reinstaling windows x64 but would like to know how to fix such a problem if it were to happen again. Both my drives are IDE and are on the IDE0 cable with master and slave correctly set.
    Also the temperature readings for my processor are 42 degrees celcius when everything is at stock and I have a zalman 9500 heatsink fan on it running at full speed. This is obviously wrong - is there any way to fix this?
    Thanks
    Daven

    I has the exact issue with my board, except it was with the SATA drives. I flashed with e few BIOS', and the newest one that worked correctly was 1.8
    If it was me, I would reflash to BIOS 1.8
    Post back with your results.
    Also, even though you are installing Windows again, it will most likely corrupt your installation, as it did mine, twice, before I figured out the problem.

  • K8N Neo2 plat problems. sound/boot/network

    I just love the mobo. One of the best I ever had. But recently Ive run into som trouble with it.
    When i boot it sometime hangs and the d-bracket tells me it is because of the floppy drive controller. Kinda weird since ive turned it off in the bios and I dont got a floppy connected. Ive read a little on this site and got to the conclusion that it is probably my PSU. A real cheap one that came with my case to around 30 €. Its only a 300w and it is due to a change. But i find it peculiar that i has run fine for several months.
    When i got the mobo and i booted it came with an boot option that had something to do with the network. If you pressed shift+f11 or something like that you would enter a menu where it was possible to configure several network boot options and the possibility to turn it off. I did and now i cant get it back? Not that i miss it but i might use it later on and i am sure it can be reenabled. But resetting cmos by jumper or removing the batteri doesnt do it. How do i do it?
    And then after messing around with a frontpanel audio thing in my case the onboard sound stopped working. Ive reset it to standard by putting the jumpers where they belong and not using the frontpanel. But still no sound.
    Guess that was all my trouble hope that youll be able to help me
    Thanks in advance
