K8N Neo2 Mainboard. POST Beep codes...

I have a MSI K8N Neo2 systemboard that just quit booting. At first, other then power being generated, nothing would happen (no beeps, no screen). I replaced the power supply with another 550W power supply and now, it tries to do a POST and the monitor power light goes from amber to green as if it's getting a video signal from the system but all I get are continous steady audilble beeps. I've tried clearing the bios by removing the battery and switching the clear cmos jumper to position 2-3, waited 15 minutes and put it back to 1-2, re-inserted the battery and still no go. The system contains 2 pieces of dual channel PC-3200, 512 Mb DDRam and I have them both in the green slots. I've unplugged everything but the k.b., mouse, video and hardrive with no change. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

The original problem ended-up being an irregular power supply. Although it was powering up, it must have not been providing adequate +12/-5 voltage. Once I replaced the power supply, that's when the beeping errors started occurring. Now for the good part (a bit embarrassing), I have an ATI AGP video card which requires a power lead and guess what I forgot the plug-in when I replaced the power supply? I know, knuckle-head move. At least I realized it before I decided to trash the whole thing!    Everything is working like new...again.
Thanks for the good suggestions and sorry to waste everyones time.

  • K8n neo2 no post after bios flash

    I have a K8n Neo2 Platinum that I recently flashed with beta 1.52 bios.  I was trying to see if the beta bios would fix some problems I was having.  After I rebooted it would not post.  I cant even get into bios, let alone re-flash it.  I tried resetting the cmos, but nothing happened.  This is what happens:
    I turn on the computer
    My fans and led's light up
    2 or 3 seconds later it turns off
    My D-Bracket 2 shows green in #2 and green in #3, which, according to my manual means Processor Initialization.
    My question is whether flashing my bios could have fried my CPU???  I ordered a new bios chip and will replace my chip with the new one, but this message from my d-bracket is scaring me!!  Any help would be appreciated.

    hi  gabrielloewen ,
    I'd try unplugging everything but the minimum, CPU, Grfx Card & 1 memory Module.
    carefully follow Clear CMOS with jumper JBAT1 Make sure you leave the jumper on discharge for as long as specified, it's easy when your worried to do it to quickly. The continuous beeping is normal with memory removed. see Award Bios Beep codes in Main Menu - No Post/No Boot problems and fixes 
    If that works add back your drives etc.,
    If that brings no success & you find no other solution you won't lose but may gain by following  5-2) Clear CMOS settings by removing battery in the last link leave the battery out overnight, & try again tomorrow (Minimum parts again.)
    luck

  • K8N Neo2 fx, just beeps

    Hey guys, We're setting up a new k8n neo2 fx w/ a amd 64 3200+ and it just gives a black screen and beeps for one sec, silence and then a new beep over and over again. Any ideas?

    Ezo,
    Go to this URL and read the excellent troubleshooting guides posted by Supershanks: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=77246.0
    # 4 sub-title should address your present concern.
    If you need more help please go to this forum member profile area and post your system details in your signature block as per my signature block and those of other forum members. Without your system details we are blind. Also add D-braket light status if so equipped.
    My suggestions for now:
    1- Insure all memory sticks are well seated into their appropriate sockets (1 stick = 1st greeen slot next to CPU; 2 sticks - first two slots next to CPU (one green & one purple) [DO NOT ATTEMPT BOOT WITH MORE THAN 2 STICKS IN - IF YOU ONLY HAVE TWO, REMOVE ONE AND BOOT WITH ONLY ONE IN first GREEN SLOT.
    2- iF THIS DOES NOT WOTK STRIP YOUR COMPUTER TO BARE NECESSITIES AND ATTEMPT REBOOT.
    Good luck,

  • Help, K8N Neo2, No Post

    I just built my machine, and when I powered it up nothing happeneds.     I hear the harddrives spin up, I see the lights on the cd-rom, but no post, no video, no diag lights (actually no lights on the diag at all), no beeps nothing.  Any help would be greatly appricated.

    Sorry, here is more info,

    As for fans, yes they come on, I see a link light on the on-board network, I hear the hard drives spin up, also I hear both cd roms kick on, but its almost like they keep reseting themselves.  I hit the eject button, and it stops halfway then goes back in.  Also I read somewhere that less then 20a on the 12v rail might be a problem.  My current PSU has 18a on the 12v, could that keep the board from posting?

  • K7t turbo2 post beep codes

    hi:
    i bought a k7t turbo2 mobo and 1800 athlon cpu (brand new), swapped a stick of used 512mb pc133 working memory from another pc and got the machine up into bios.  i stopped work for the evening came back the next day when i was going to reformat a drive and install an os.  before i got to that i scavenged up another stick of older memory to add in, added it, then booted, but no post.  reseated everything--same.  pulled the board and trimmed it down to the basics...mobo, cpu, memory, video.  same.  swapped a working video card.  same.  thinking it was a bad stick of memory---it was older---i purchased another stick new.  just put it in.  different result now though.  now, i get a one second beep on, then off for a second, then on ,then off.  continues repetively on-off.  reset the cmos.  pulled the battery.  no changes from this on-off beep.  not *exactly* sure what the problem is.   system seemed to be fine until i swapped the add'l stick of memory in.  i am/was very careful in all my tech work but could i have fried the motherboard with something innocuous as this?  or did i get a bad stick of brand new (kingston) memory?   i am beginning to feel like throwing good money after bad trying to debug this prob.  any idea of what this one second on, one second off beep means?  or how best to continue debugging without going out purchasing additional hardware just to test a theory?
    thanks in advance for any help.

    Just wanted to say thanks for all the help. I foud the problem though. It was a faulty CPU. I know that I had swapped it out with my working AMD 1.4, but for some reason, this one would die once any load was put on it. I took my wife's 1.4 out and the mobo booted.
    I just went out to ZipZoomFly (from Pricewatch) and bought two new AMD Athlon XP 1800+'s for $48 each. Hopefully they'll come in quickly and I can get my son's PC back to him before the end of his Christmas break. Thanks again all!

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum POST failure

    System has run great for more than a year. Now, system hangs in POST. No beeps. No display. D-Bracket lights 1 red, 2 green, 3 green 4 red (Processor init). Disconnected extraneous devices - no effect. Swapped video cards - no effect. Reseated CPU and memory - no effect.
    System did boot once after failures started and ran fine for 3 days - had to restart Windows and boot problem started again and won't go away. The fact that everything ran fine after it managed to boot that one time makes me think the CPU & memory are OK. Now, system hangs in POST every time.
    I don't know what to make of the D-Bracket lights which seem to indicate a CPU problem when CPU seemed to be working fine the one time it managed to boot in the midst of all the hangs.
    Any ideas about what to try next. My thoughts point to a motherboard failure, but I hate to start randomly replacing parts.
    I'd sure appreciate any help anyone might be able to offer.

    OK, seems I did everything but clear CMOS settings and that corrected the problem. Many thanks!!
    Now, for my own education, I've been dealing with these things for 25 years and I've never seen a CMOS setting change so it screwed up the system this way this way. Somehow, one or more of the settings apparently changed and had to be reset  via the CMOS clear. What would cause that to happen? Do I have some other problem waiting to happen?
    Thanks for the help.
    It can happen sometimes.
    Could be caused by a crash, powerdip, or a peak in the ground current... Theoreticly a source of radiation (table fan, cell phone, DECT phone, etc..) could also cause bios settings to change spontiously.
    In my case it's usually my 7 yr old nephew  , but has happened twice in 3 years without him around, and the board worked fine afterwards. So nothing to be worried about 

  • K8N Neo2 - no post

    Ok, I had this machine running nicely for about 8 months. So, today morning I needed my 2nd mouse for another machine so I took it (MX610's wireless thingie from usb-hub connected to I/O-plate USB-connector) and went to another room. When I came back the machine was shut down. It didn't boot so stripped it to minium hardware but there was no image on screen (Samsung 193P+ hooked via 6800GT DVI) when I booted it. I attached my D-Bracket and it showed 2 yellow led's and two red. According to manual two green and two red means that my mobo is "Processor Initialization - This will show information regarding the processor (like brand name, system bus, etc...)"'ing. The led positions matched. What should I do? RMA the board?
    Specs:
    MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum
    3000+ Venice with Thermalright XP-90
    2 gigabytes of Samsung UCCC 3-4-4-8

    Logitech MX518, MX610 and UltraX (Belkin USB<->PS2) attached to Trust USB Hub and generic Digital PS2 KB
    400W be quiet Colorline (20A 12V)
    What I've tried:
    Clear CMOS, took the battery out, swapped graphics cards, swapped HD's, swapped PSU, completely rebuilt the computer, swapped KB's (PS2)

    CPU swap is impossible, I don't have any other CPU. The same PSU (it is quality one, not those what you get for fifty bucks) runs fine on moderately overclocked Abit AN7 + AXP-M2400+ (w/ 5 HD's) (which I am currently typing)
    Results were same with Antec 380W (18A? on 12V rail)
    The graphics card was the only component overclocked at the moment. Memoryswap didn't help, already tried. I'll return the board and see if they get it work/replace it :|

  • K9N NEO V3 POST Beep Issue

    Hello, and thanks in advance for taking the time to give this a look. (TL;DR below)
    As stated in the topic title, I’ve been having issues with my PC involving POST beep codes.
    Couple days ago, PC stopped displaying on monitor. A few on/off’s later, I realized the PC was beeping oddly. I looked up POST codes online, but I’m not entirely sure which set to use. I have no display to check for my motherboard BIOS and version, so I am at the moment using what is written on the actual mobo; AMI BIOS. I can hear a single beep, followed by about 8 shorter beeps. There is a noticeable difference between the first and the rest. I have already run the computer without the optical drive, harddrive, and graphics card and still found the same problem. With just the mobo and CPU, I hear nothing, but that’s because I assume my mobo will not POST without RAM, so I tried a single stick new replacement to test with and I am still getting the same POST beeps as before. I have also tried reseating my graphics card and the small round cell found on my mobo. Is there anything that I’ve missed? Or is there something else at the root of the problem.
    TL;DR: My computer will not display on a monitor, and I am getting the beeps associated with POST problems. Have tried running without essential hardware and separate memory stick to no success. Unsure of how to proceed.
    Here are my current specs:
    MSI K9N NEO V3 / MS-7369
    AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ Windsor @ 2.6 GHz
    OCZ Gold XTC Dual Channel PC26400 DDR2 800MHz 1GB x2 (5-5-5-12)
    XFX 8600 GT XXX Edition 256 MB DDR3 PCI-E
    WD Caviar Blue 160GB 7200RPM 8MB SATA (WD1600AAJS)
    Apevia X-Infinity Case with Turbolink PSU (420W)
    Windows XP (32bit) SP3
    I’ve narrowed down my problem to either the mobo or the cpu, but that’s about it.
    I appreciate your help, and if there’s something that needs to be clarified, just let me know.
    I apologize if this is in the wrong section or if there’s a format problem with my post.

    I figure this is the best place to ask, since its related to my issues and doesn't need another topic.
    I'm looking at this Corsair 750W PSU, but the only thing I'm wondering about is lack of a P4 MB connector. I'm not entirely sure what it's used for? I'm pretty green when it comes to installing and hooking up PSUs, so I've been comparing the connectors just to make sure I don't buy a product that won't hook up to my system. Also, is there a default size? Like motherboards come with the ATX or micro-ATX form. I'd hate to buy it and find out that it won't fit in my case
    First choice
    Second choice
    Third choice
    I noticed a lot of the PSU have multiple 18A / 12 V rails as opposed to a single 12V rail with higher amps. Are those maximum values? Or will it increase as you decrease the number of 12V rails being used. Sorry for the questions, but I figure I might as well ask now while I can

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum Beep code

    Anyone know what all the beeps mean for a K8N Neo2 Platinum? Sometimes when I power on my system there is a long beep and beeps on and off. Anyone know what the error is exactly? I tihnk it is a VGA or RAM seating error but not sure as the manual doesn't say what the different types of beeps mean.

    I had that same beep code when I first setup my new rig.  had one long beep, pause, one long beep, pause (rinse, lather, repeat).  Come to find out it was a RAM issue.  Appearently the board has some freak quirk that it wont boot with 2 pieces of RAM the first time.  After the first boot, I put in my second chip and no problem.

  • K8N Neo2 plat, no post issue cont'd.

    Hi its me again, the guy with the intermittent "no post" k8n neo2 plat.
    Loaded the 1b3 beta the other day, again 1 day later the box would not post, as usual no
    indication on the D-bracket, just one flash of the keyboard, the fans span one half round.
    Since it could run for 1month plus with 1a3 beta BIOS(no usb2.0 (I could not wait any longer wanted usb2.0 so I flashed to a newer bios)),
     start thinking it could be something between these latter full versions and this.
    Then saw a thread on the web about someone having a Winnie that his box also has issues when swapping for latter
    version than 1.5, with 1.5 his plat run fine. Go figure.
    So for the time being I switched it to v1.5 bios, lets see how long it holds.
    oh btw, the CMOS clear "no effect" seem to be avoided, by unplugging every external
    peripheral prior to doing the cmos clear.

    ...Speaker Beeps once, USB LEDS Hold at Green, Red, Green, Green...
    Tried everything, don't know what to do
    And for those that ask me, what HDs? What IDEs?
    Go take an A+ Course please. No one with 2 cells of brain capacity would hook everything up on first boot not knowing if it will work or not...
    Thanks, all help appreciated.
    The Led display from your D-Bracket indicates it is stopping when it tries to initialise the floppy drive.  You don't have one.  No A+ course needed, just hook up your floppy or disable it in the BIOS.  I have no floppy drive (I have no need) so have it disabled.  Probably best to hook up all relevant devices that will enable a working machine.  The BIOS is probably halting when it can't initialise a device.  There would be no point in it proceeding if it doesn't have all devices needed for a bootable machine...
    See D-Bracket guide here D-Bracket Guide
    I'm only guessing.

  • MSI mainboard AMD socket 970A-G46 beep codes

    What are the beep codes for the MSI mainboard AMD socket 970A-G46?

    Depending on the BIOS version installed, some of them allow POST and USB device count beeps and others don't. Usually a single beep indicates a successful boot.
    It can also mean this;
    *1 beep - Refresh failure - (NO VIDEO) memory refresh failure (bad memory)

    My question...? Why is it throwing up the beep code errors and what do they mean..?
    James

    The first short beep probably means your boot block and system block are ok. The second series of beeps could be indicating an issue with your video card...

  • FYI: To those getting no video at all during POST on K8N Neo2 Plat

    I've been racking my brain all day/night fighting my new K8N Neo2 Platinum system. I first put together a minimal system with just memory, CPU/cooler, and AGP card and powered it up to make sure it would work. Sure enough I saw the Platinum POST screen and I went into the BIOS.
    I figure all is good so I turn off the system and install the rest of the components.Like so many others I powered back up to the disheartening screen of nothingness. The D-Bracket showed all 4 LEDs green so I was baffled as to the problem. I tried various forms of restart with the same result. With a sigh I began reverting my system back to the original bare bones set up. Same result...black screen. I tried various CMOS resets after reading everything I could find. New result: black screen but POST would always get stuck with D-Bracket indicating "Initializing Floppy Drive Controller".
    After trying various memory configurations, various CMOS resets, various AGP graphics cards, and many other things for several hours to no avail I finally got out an ancient PCI graphics card and was finally able to get video and enter the BIOS. I selected Load Fail-Safe Defaults and made sure to select AGP for the Primary Graphic's Adapter setting. I swapped the PCI card out and the AGP card back in. Still no video on the AGP card. I put the PCI card and AGP card in together and rebooted again. PCI card has video, AGP card does not.
    I still don't have my problems solved but I at least wanted to let people who are getting no video on their AGP graphics card know that they may be able to get video on a PCI graphics card. As a side effect, for whatever reason, it appears that I get fully through the POST again and the D-Bracket lights up all the LEDs.
    Hope this helps someone out there who is frustrated like I am and maybe someone can figure out what's wrong with the AGP graphics.
    The BIOS version is currently W7025NMS V1.3 092404 15:57:09...I'm going to work on updating that next and see if that fixed anything.
    Here's my system if it would work:
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
    AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 90nm
    Gigabyte 3D Cooler-ULTRA GT
    OCZ 520W PowerStream
    OCZ 512MB DDR400 PC3200 EL Platinum Rev. 2 (4 sticks)
    BFG nVideo GeForce 6800 Ultra
    I made the following substitutions to test:
    OCZ DDR400 PC3200 EL Platinum Rev. 2 (1 stick in various slots, 2 sticks in various slots in single and dual channel mode)
    Corsair 512MB Value Select DDR400 PC3200 (1 stick in DIMM 1 slot)
    Radeon 9700 Pro (old AGP card -- didn't work any better than BFG card)
    Some old PCI card -- not even sure what it is (allowed me to see what was going on!)

    Nope. Cable is definately not on upside down! =)
    I get the same behavior on both floppy drives I've tried. The light only comes on when it tries to access it and it reacts as though I've put in a bad floppy. Thing is the floppy works on several computers and works on one of the floppy drives I used with this system, only while it was connected to another machine.
    I was able to update the bios to v1.4 without using a floppy by making a bootable CD and flashing from there. Still no go. I think at this point I'm ready to concede that I do in fact have a motherboard that has gone south. I've tried every combination of option I can think of in the BIOS but the AGP and Floppy Controller both appear to be fubar.
    Still, the one good thing that came out of all this is that I found out how to make bootable CDs. I'm sure to use that little trick over and over and that may make it so I don't really need these pesky floppy drives anymore at all! I'll make a post on this so we'll soon all be floppy free! =)

  • P67A-GD55 boot stops at POST 99 w/ 1-long+2short beep code.

    Well subject line tells most of the story:
    P67A-GD55 boot stops at POST 99 in lower right of display and with 1-long+2short beep code.
    I've found a note somewhere on these forums that 99 code means Super IO initialization,   though I'm not sure if this is the checkpoint before or after that process.
    I've found generic information that suggests 1long+2short beep code indicates a video card failure.   
    I'm surprised that the manual for the MB doesn't list these codes, and that they weren't listed in the troubleshooting FAQ on the MSI site.   So I still wonder if it may mean something else.
    I've disconnected all the SATA connections,  and removed all pci cards except for the video card.   Guess I'll try disconnecting the front-panel usb connectors too in a moment, but I'm running out of ideas.
    With a EVGA GT520 video card,   I get these symptoms regardless of which pcie slot I put the card in.
    With a Galaxy 8400GS  the beep code is the same but no output is ever visible on the display.  It seems possible that I just need an adapter to use the other connector on this card to see the output though.
    With a EVGA 7800GT   the symptoms are the same as with the EVGA GT520
    If I try removing the memory sticks I get 3-long beeps followed by system shutting itself down.

    Run of the mil keyboard.    (has a logo with a circle containing a crescent containing a D).   Suppose I could switch to a usb keyboard around here somewhere.  
    Disconnected the logitec usb mouse that I had connected to the back panel with no change in symptoms.
    Toughpower-650 power supply (had been in use on a system that was running an athlon x64 and the GT7800GT graphics card.  
    2 sticks PNY DDR3 PC3-10666 4G  ("compatible with 1333MHz")   1 stick in each blue slot.
    No idea how to tell you the UFEI/BIOS version.    The manual says its "CLiCK BiOS"   but since I've never seen anything but 98,99 and _  displayed by the BIOS  I really don't know.
    Removing the case front panel USB connectors didn't change symptoms.
    Resetting the bios by the button at the back panel connectors (near keyboard connector)  didn't change anything. (although it did not cause  "system will boot automatically"  as a line in the manual might suggest.  
    Tried using the JBAT connector to clear the bios as well and likewise no change in symptoms.
    There are no peripherals connected other than case power switch, power LED and HDD LED at this point.    Somehow I don't expect much change from disconnecting LED's.    Case switch seems to be behaving normally in that it causes the boot cycle to start, and if pressed while the "99" is sitting there in corner of screen it causes machine to shut down.
    No SATA devices are connected to it since they won't really be useful untill can at least get to the BIOS.   The sata cables that would go to those devices are still connected to the MB.

    CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V power supply
    MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 graphics card

    It seems I'm not the only one having weird issues with this board. I have the exact same board, v1.8 BIOS and Gskill F3-17000CL9D-8GBXLD memory.
    If I enable the XMP profile for this memory, this system will not post. It does not matter if I raise the DRAM voltage and I/O (memory controller) voltage to their acceptable limits, it does not matter if I manually enter in the timings of the memory specified on the box. XMP = no post.
    So after disabling XMP I kept the memory at 1600mhz, which worked fine. I decided to try 1866mhz and a little more voltage. This seemed to work fine...for awhile. This morning my system would not post. I had to clear the CMOS (not use the jumper but literally remove the battery). Ever since then my system will BSOD after a few minutes on startup unless I manually enter in my memory timings (I tried two sticks from different vendors).
    I know I don't have bad memory, and the fact is that this board will not post with vendor specified settings.
    All I can suggest is to pull the CMOS battery and try one stick of memory.
