K8N Neo2 Plat NICs and Linksys Router

I have a Linksys BEFSR41 4 port Router with the latest Firmware and when I connect either RealTek or Nforce onboard Network to it, the Red DIAG LED on the router goes on every few seconds. Seems like it floods my router. I can still view webpages when this is going on but when the Red DIAG Led comes on, my router freeses up. By that I mean all traveling data is haulted until DIAG LED turns off. One thing I noticed is that the activity light to the NIC is constantly flashing. This also only happens when the computer with the K8N Neo2 is the only one connected to the router. If I disconnect the This computer then it stops flooding.
Specs:
Athlon 64 3500+
K8N Neo2 PLatinum Ver.1 Bios Version 1.2
2 X 512MB Corsair DDR400 2-2-2-5 timings
eVGA Geforce 6800GT
Western Digital Raptor 2 74.3GB 10,000
Windows XP Pro
Things I tried:
1. Installed latest Router Firmware. Still floods router
2. Installed Linksys PCI LNE100TX NIC. Connect that Nic to router with other onboard NICs disabled in the Bios and still floods. I've used this nic in other computer with no issues when connected to router.
3. Tried different Patch network Cables. Still Floods
4. Connected NIC directly to Cable Modem and Activity LED constantly Flashing. Internet works fine though when connected straight to modem.
5. Disabled 1394 Net adapter in "Network Connections". still flood.
6. I tried flow control option thats located under the Advanced Tab in NIC properties on both onboard NICs. Still floods.
Anyone else have this Router/Motherboard and have issues like this?
Any other suggestions?
THanks for everyones help!!

I have the older BEFSR41 router. Not the newer version 2 I believe it is.
Anyone have this older router with the same motherboard and have any issues?

K8N Neo2 Plat power and bios question

I have a K8N Neo2 Plat. I use a UltraProducts 500W xconnect PSU and a BFG 6800 GT OC.
A couple weeks ago the 6800 died. I contacted BFG and they sent me a new one.
The new one died the same way after a week. They said to check the power levels on the +12 rail.
In windows using softare tests it reports 13.58
in the bios it reports 12.22
both are over the allowed variance.
Ultra products told me to check with my motherboard manufacturer to see if there was a BIOS setting that would let me set the power on the +12V rail. Is that possible?
Is that something my K8N Neo2 Plat can do?

No, you cannot lower the 12V-rail by a bios setting. I really don't see what they mean by that.
Your motherboard does, however, regulate the power that comes from the power supply. Within certain margins it can lower the voltage and keep it steady. Your videocard can do the same. Now, depending on the tolerance (quality) of your hardware, you can vary on those margins. But on any piece of hardware, there is a point on which it cannot correct/lower a voltage that is too high. It then simply shuts down or dies.
To my opinion, the PSU-maker gave you a very funny piece of advice. What he actually says is that their psu may give too high a voltage (I talk about the 13+ now), but your hardware should correct this. That's not the way it works: they should make psu's that give 12V where it should. So, I'd demand a replacement. But, before you do: use a multimeter to measure the 12V-rail. You cannot trust the board's measurement too well.
But then, like Stick says, I think that 12.22 is within mentioned margins. 13.58V is too high. So, that's why you should first measure using a multimeter. Measure for a longer time. System idle, system full load. Write everything down and see how steady this psu is. If 12V dances arround, replace it.

K8N Neo2 Plat IDE and SATA problems

Last night I was able to install XP onto a Raid 0 set up with 2x36 GB Raptors. (These were on Sata3/4 as I had heard about oc problems with the other Sata ports). No other drives were installed. After installing XP I decided to shut down and add a 40 gb IDE drive that had several things I needed (like programs!) and also installed another Sata drive, this time it was on Sata 2.
(I did discover that the system will not boot if there are drives on IDE2 (optical drives) while IDE1 is empty... so moved the optical drives to IDE1)
After installing the two extra drives I booted up. Fine. But when I went to change a display setting, got BSOD.
So went back and tried again to setup the Raid 0 and install XP. Even without the extra drives, no luck.
After third attempt, I gave up on Raid and just installed XP onto one of the Raptors that was on either Sata 3 or 4. No other HD's installed. It worked.
Then went back and tried to stick that 40gb IDE in and the 80gb Sata.
Ack! No boot and got a hal.dll error. Googled that and I guess it has some sort of virus or whatever. Figures. Okay. Disconnect both the 40 and 80 and it boots.
This time tried just with the SATA 80 (in addition to boot drives). No luck. Get an error saying that it can't find boot drive or something like that.
Next tried to move the Sata cables around, putting the true boot drive onto Sata1. Of course it didn't work and NOW (after putting the cables back the way they were for the boot drive i.e. Sata3/4 (not sure which) the system will not boot at all giving the "no system disk" error.
If I had hair to pull out it would be gone.
When looking into the BIOS I see that the 2 36gb Rap's are on IDE channel 5 and 6.
I don't know what BIOS I am running.
Is there some sort of "priority" that XP assigns to various IDE channels? Sata ports? At this point I could care less about overclocking, so am thinking of putting the 2 36gb Rap's on Sata 1/2 and starting from scratch trying to install XP on Raid 0 (yes, I installed the Raid drivers from a floppy). Shouldn't that work? I might end up just using the 80 gb SATA drive as the boot drive and not using the Raptors.
Someone please save me!

Be interested how stable your raid setup stays? See my post https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=94536.new#new
Been driving me crazy. System stays stable, now I've ditched raid, as long as the other Raptor doesn't have XP on it. It seemed that XP was seeing two disks instead of one at close down when I had raid installed and writing to just one - very weird - which blew the array. Never had these problems with Promise Sata Raid. I suspect, like many others, that NV have a driver problem.
You know... you didn't really HAVE to share this info with me!!
Let's hope it stays stable. If not, then I will get a different Raid controller.
Along with backing up my data on that array as soon as I can!

New K8N NEO2 PLAT. and SC-939 3200+ help needed...

Hello,
I have just upgraded my system with K8N Neo2 Plat. and sc-939 3200+ A64 Cpu.
There are several issues I need to resolve which are:
1- Although I change from BIOS the settings for AGP to 4x8x and enable fast writes, I still cant see them turned on from the Catalyst Control Center. Everything is greyed out what can I do? They all used to be on and agp was 8x with my K7N2 Delta board....
2- Although I installed the original drivers from the MSI CD, I couldn't get one of the network prts to install. Realtek installed OK. But other one is defined by the device manager as standart network adapter. What can I do?
3- I am brand new to A64 system so I do not know what setting to use from BIOS can you help me out, for instance there are values for HT such as x3 x4 x5 mine is set to x5? what is this? should I enable cool and quiet, I am not intended to do overclocking. Can you give me some tips for best performance?
My best regards.

Make sure your bios is up to date: version 1.5. Look at the sticky threads and use the information to enable hidden bios features. Disable ATI/NV speedup in the bios. Uninstall your drivers and reinstall. If the information is still greyed out, download the free version of Sandra here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/ and check the module under video system information. This will tell you if fast writes are enabled and your AGP setting. Leave the HT(hyper-transport) set to 5X unless you plan on oc'ing, if you do oc then may find you'll need to reduce it to 4X or 3X. Try downloading the latest driver for your network from the MSI website. Right click the device in device manager and select update, select specific location then "don't look...I'll choose", direct it to the file where you've unpacked the correct driver and then update.

Unidentified 10-12Pins inside the K8N Neo2 Plat

Hi guys,
I've just finished setting up my K8N Neo2 Plat into the case with the jumpers and cables etc. And there's sometihng interesting I discovered.
There is a set of jumpers or Pins, just above the JDB1 [D-Bracket pins] that seems to be unused and un-labelled in the Instruction manual.
The PCB has it labelled as JPC1 with a small arrow pointing downwards.
I searched thru the manual, and no sign of what it's used for.
Anyone else noticed this when they installed their board jumpers and pins?
Many thanks
mystify

LOL..you can pm to syar as he has the modded bios for 1C as i'm using his bios as nice and easy. But like what qyx say corecentre messing all you setting including the bios and stay away any DOT, C&Q if you're ocing your system. Better used manual way to set it in the bios. GD luck.

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.

K8N Neo2 Plat - Is 1.8 still the best bios?

Just bought new gfx card - Sapphire X1600Pro 256MB AGP - for my K8N Neo2 Plat setup (see sig for the rest).
I was getting 3dmark03 scores of 4400 to start with, then it has upped slowly to just over 6000 thanks to the various BIOS experts setup guides. I haven't found the Shgift F2 menu - is that only in later BIOSes ?
I'm only at BIOS 1.3 due to it's amazing stability with this setup, but now of course, I'm wondering if upping to, say, 1.8, might help improve things further ??
TIA

Hello !
The 1.8 bios is very good unless you are planning to run/update to an X2 dual core , then you will need a newer one for sure.
There is nothing faster and better with 1C , EasyBios 1C and my modded have better default values set in it ,EasyBios
have also better reworked layout (more user friendly) , but if you don't have any problems with your current one I would stick with it .
It's almost the same with my Neo1 system (Ms-7030) , I have this frozen at the 1.5b6 bios - with the Newcastle cpu in it
it actually works worse with the latest BIOS

NVidia Video Driver Causes Immediate freezing upon loading to desktop (K8N Neo2 Plat)...

after many a reinstall, order of loading drivers, i have finally traced my system's problem to the nvidia video drivers. i have no clue what to do. install everything (new nforce drivers, sp2, audio and ethernet drivers, windowsupdate, etc. EVERYTHING except running the nvidia video drivers package and the system does not freeze.
as soon as the video drivers are loaded, restart and once i get to the desktop it freezes. every single time. go into safe mode, remove video drivers, restart and the system doesn't freeze. fast write is disabled. all dram settings at auto. cool and quiet disableed. system specs are:
MSI K8N Neo2 Plat MB (bios is v1.3)
AMD64 3200+ Winchester Core
BFG 6800GT OC AGP Video Card
2*512MB Mushkin Dual Channel Blue Ram (2-3-3-6-1T at 200Mhz)
120GB WD Caviar 7200RPM 8MB Cache IDE HD
NEC ND3520A 16x DVD Burner
CoolerMaster Wave Master Aluminum Case
Coolermaster RS-450-ACLY Power Supply
any ideas?

well i'll be damned. spread spectrum. it was spread spectrum being enabled. there just isn't a more satifying feeling that thinking you figured out what was causing freezes and then finding out it's repeatable!!
spread spectrum on. freeze. reboot. freeze. reboot. freeze. spread spectrum disabled. reboot. no freeze. reboot. no freeze. reboot. no freeze. spread spectrum back on. reboot. freeze. reboot. freeze.
i love it.

Boot failure - k8n neo2 plat

Hi, I'm having trouble
Just purchased an MSI k8n neo2 plat mobo with an amd 64 3000+ and finally got her all setup... well minus the geforce 6600 gt arriving tomorrow and I still need to figure out what I'll do as far as memory goes. Ah but I forget myself... the problem at hand is this; I am unable to boot the system and the d-bracket indicates its current status is "Processor initialization..." Then nothing. Blank screen.
LED's btw:
red green
green red
thanks for any help
Sytem specs:
k8n neo2
amd xp 64 3000+
geforce 2 mx
1x mushkin pc2700 256mb (test mem)
60gb maxtor
generic cd-writer
PS is @POWER 430w with:
+3.3v = 28a
+5v = 40a
+12 = 17a

1)I'd go further than shturmovik in your 12v amps requirement you need at least 24a especially with your new graphic card.
see Basic Building Tips - Quote
As this pertains to A64's make sure that you have a power supply that is either approved for use by MSI/AMD or that you have plenty of amps on the 12 volt rail. Typically we have noted many issues based on stability with PSU's being rated at less than 24A on the 12v rail.
Power Consumption: NVIDIA vs. ATI
2)The D-Led Quote
Processor initialization
also covers memory issues as with the 64 the memory controller is on the CPU.
as your 1x mushkin pc2700 256mb (test mem) this rules out any dual channel problems.
which slot is it in.

Freezing issues with K8N Neo2 Plat & 6800 gt

Well I get random freezing during games. Sometimes it freezes for 5-10 seconds then comes back, while other times it just freezes and the sound comes back but not the game.
I had this problem when I first upgraded.
K8N Neo2 plat
1gb corsair xms 3200
athlon 64 3500
aslo have:
420-30? antec tru power supply. I cant remember exact number.
6800gt ultra
audigy 2 plat
Now I first posted my problem a while ago and someone told me to try chaning the HT to 4x instead of 5x. So I did and it worked. It worked for a few weeks and now the problems have come back.
Any Ideas?

Along with the above issues, I've also found that a lot of my gaming probs with the 6800 are due to it being a "bandwidth hog" & it's latency needs to be adjusted lower to enable the other devices on the PCI bus (i.e. sound card) to get enough bandwidth to function properly. This isn't noticeable until you start some heavy gaming with a lot going on at once...
If your game ever practically chugs to a halt when a lot of sounds are being produced, this is the main problem. Here's a way & some notes on how to deal with it. Just like every "tweak" though, it's not guaranteed to work for everyone but I got noticeable benefits from it.
- D/L (I got it @ guru3D) PCI Latency Tool & give the "Read Me" a quick once-over. Write down the values for your devices, in case you need/want to change 'em back. Most items are well labeled - the 6800 & your sound card will be what you are most interested in. I wouldn't mess with the rest of 'em, as they deal with low level system items that are best left alone. Unless you are truly an Uber Geek!
- The latency for my 6800 listed as a massive 248 clks! For some reason, I've read that ATI cards don't default at such a large value, which might explain why people don't seem to have as many performance issues with 'em. Anyhow lower the 6800 to a more "reasonable" value, like 128 or 64. 64 seemed to work best for me.
- Save the settings, reboot & test it out. You can experiement with the sound card latency too, in order to find what works best for you, but I wouldn't set it at less than it's default value (32).
Hope this helps.

K8N neo2 Plat problem with Inno3D 7600GS AGP, help pls...

Just got the new Inno3d 7600GS AGP card, after installed & while booting up my monitor keep going off and on then suddenly just went off...sometime system freeze when it reach deskstop.
Sometime lucky enough it will still there and the next few minute the system just freeze.
After several attemp & no choice, I unplug the power to the graphic card and the problem still exist.
I am using a HEC 350W PSU.
I change back to my old ati9200se card & no problem at all.
I changed to skyhawk 430W still same problem. even I boot up to safe mode still the same. Only time the monitor wouldn't go off untill it pass the winXP logo then the problem appear.
I got no problem when go to CMOS as well.
Already perform uninstall previous video driver, update latest nforce driver....all no use.

Any idea guys?
Thanks

What are your PSU amp for the +12V? What bios version are you using right now? Tried to disable the fast write in the Bios? Gd luck.

K8n neo2 Plat 54G, allround WLAN card

Does someone know if the WLAN PCI card provided with
the k8n neo2 Plat 54G will work in any other PCI slot
on any other motherboard? Reason I ask is the orange
colour slot on k8n Neo2, which is 'reserved' for the
WLAN PCI card, hints to be some kind of conditional slot?
I have a wireless network at home, but not using the k8n
wirelessly, but some other boxes could.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but figured someone might have use of this info.
As an update, a good while back I put this WLAN card in an ECS VIA KM266 board, seemed to work, but was not too pleased with its performance or the SW MSI had along with this card. So I used another wireless solution instead.
Today decided to see if any new drivers around for this card.
The wireless chip on this card is a RT2500 by RaLink.
Looked up at their website and found driver version 3.2.0.0, date 26-Oct-2007.
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Windows.html
This driver appear to work OK, the connection stays up, even at weak transmission conditions. The speed is not amazing but works. I assume it works reasonably well under good signal conditions.
EDIT: new version posted, version 3.2.0.10, date 12-Feb-2009.

K8N Neo2 Plat - No start beep...

Hello,
Does anyone finaly found why with the K8N Neo2 Plat board sometime the puter wont beep and start? Need to shut it down and try a few time before it does beep and start the puter? Basicaly the problem is that when you start the computer you should hear a beep then you will see something in your monitor screen such as drive information, cpu speed and memory then it will search for cd, floppy boots and then windows will start if no boots are found but there is no beep and nothing appear on the screen then you have to shutdown the puter and try a few reboot then somehow it decide to beep and start...
I've read many thread and I tryed this so far:
-Removed Keyboard and mouse
-Tryed to push harder the video card in its slot
-Tryed to push harder the memory in their slot
-Tryed to push harder the sound card in its slot
-Tryed to push harder the LAN card in its slot
-Tryed to start the computer without the monitor
-Tryed to remove all my additional fans to give more power.
-Tryed to reinstall Windows XP SP2
-Took a look at the cpu and cpu fan
-Changed my video card for a new one
-Tryed to remove memory and it only does a long beep and no system start at all. (which is normal)
-Removed Spectrum, aggressive timing in bios, no overclock setting also.
I have tryed all these and still have problem starting my computer. Is it a motherboard problem? a Power supply problem? a Cpu problem? A memory problem? If anyone can help to find out it would be great!
By the way maybe its because im not english but I dont know what PSU mean, can anyone tell me? Thanks
Sorry for my english!

You might want to try a better PSU as the Antec SL400 does only 18amps....
It's overloaded at 23A....see the specs....

K8N Neo2 Plat - computer wont boot. RMA?

as the title suggests, I have a K8N Neo2 Plat with an amd athlon 64 3800+ and 2x512mb OCZ PC3700EB Platinum ram. Everything has worked great for the past year. However this weekend when I came home from school my pc wouldn't boot up. I plugged in all the cables, turned on the PSU, and hit the power button and the fans spun for about half a second then nothing. I tried again several times and the fans didn't even spin. I tried several plugs in the house, still nothing. Thinking it was the PSU (Antec NeoPower480) I bought a new one today and tried that. Still nothing. I even tried shorting the power switch on the case in case it's stopped working. still nothing. I'm quite knowledgeable about computers so it's not a silly newbie mistake. A friend of mine who does computer repairs thinks it's the motherboard, and I agree.
I was going to try RMAing it - do you think I should, and is the process relatively easy/painless? (FYI I'm Canadian)

Strip it down to a basic setup, CPU, 1 stick of ram (try different ram) and graphic card. This is all you need to boot and get into BIO.
If you can get into BIO then add one device at a time until you find the faulty piece, if you are not able to get it to boot then pull the graphic card and try to boot, you should get some beeps, do the same with the ram. If you don't get any beeps then it is a good chance it is your MB.

A few K8N Neo2 Plat problems

Just getting this new rig up and going K8N Neo2 Plat with a 3200 Winchester 90nm CPU and 1GB (2x512) OCZ PC3200 Plat. rev2. My memory is not showing to be running in Dual Channel. and Sandra bandwidth is horrible to say the least. I have flashed to the latest bios that MSI has on the site, are their any better ones? I see some people running different versions of 1.3 bios, where are they? I have two Barracuda 80Gb S-ATA set up on #3-4 Sata connectors too in Raid (0).

Skeen, Duke is right. I have the same memory and you MUST use slot 1&2 for dual channel support. Look inthe manual on the page about memory. It gives 2 charts. The first one is for dual channel memory and the second one is for normal memory. Also I did a Sandra test that is somwhere here in the forums where I posted the results with 1&2 and 3&4 and 1&2 was slightly faster. Use them (the ones closest to the CPU).
