K8N Neo4 BIOS Flash Core centre problem

Hi All,
New here and with a question so here we go,
recently updated my bios with MSI live monitor and it updated the bios and everything is fine and works well except for core centre, evertime the computer starts it says core centre isn't compatible with your motherboard, have i done something wron and go back to previous bios version or is there a fix?? any help would be good.
thanks

I just flashed my bios to version 1.8....i cant it to post past the windows xp boot screen.....anyone know why and what i can do??!!?!
Everything was fine before running 1.5....
I read a thread somewhere in this forum saying 1.8 is good if you have Sempron (E6?). If by some reason you have to flash 1.8, search for User syar2003's post. I followed his procedures and I flashed 1.6 successfully. Bios 1.5 gave me a lot of troubles.

[Athlon64] K8N Neo4 Bios ver 1.50 eats batteries

Hi, Takesix.
Unfortunately, you are not the only person with this problem. I purchased a non-SLI version of this board about 6 weeks ago and am on my third battery, all from different manufacturers. The board was originally flashed with V1.50 but I flashed it to v1.30 because I had read that it was a better version. This has not stopped the draining battery problem. Have e-mailed MSI and Monarch Computer tech support hoping to get an answer but haven't received any replys yet. To read others strories go to the following link. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=84120.0 Incidentally, how old is your board? Wonder if it was a specific lot?

K8N Neo4 Platinum power on/off problem

Hi all.
I just got a K8N Neo4 Platinum, and have a problem with switching it on and off.
When I switch on the mains to the PC PS(before turning the PC on), the fans start turning, and I hear disks spinning up. The PC power LED is off, but the HD LED is on. There is no picture on the monitor.
If I then switch the PC on, it boots normal, power LED is on, and the HD LED is normal. The PC is working absolutely normal, with winXP.
But when I turn the PC off again, the fans remain on, power LED goes off, HD LED on. And I can't switch the PC on again, till I have toggled the mains supply.
I have tried measuring what comes on the power connector. It looks like there is still 12V when the PC is supposed to be switched off. Don't know if that is right.
There is also 5VSB and PWR OK, but I think they are supposed to be there.
I hope I have been able to explain the problem in understandable english.

That the comp turn itself on when the different front side connectors etc isnt in, i dont think that's a problem with ur PSU.
Same thing happend to me when i forgot to plug them in a couple of days ago. I got a Tagan 480W, and its flawless!
Have u ever considered unplugging everything, and doing it from the beginning? ......
I have tried from the beginning many times, but it's always failing.
BUT..... Today I got a new K8N Neo4 Platinum from a vendor next door to where I work, and it works perfectly
I had a suspicion that the motherboard was causing the fail, but couldn't be sure without trying a new one. Now the first one is going back to the shop where I bought it.
Thanks to all for all the suggestions you have come up with.

Bios 1.6 and Core Centre Problems!

Hi MSI Buddies!
I have an 875p Neo mobo,
I had problems before where my mobo wouldn't cold boot. I got a replacement board (with bios 1.20) which works perfectly.
I sucessfully upgraded to bios 1.60 last night and the version of corecentre kept stopping my CPU fan !!!! Arrrrggggghhhhh! Can't MSI get anything right (even 6th time round !!!)
I upgraded to 1.0.5.3 version of CoreCentre which fixed the CPU Fan stopping but, the FSB defaults to 203 instead of 200. Everytime i tried to put it back to 200 the PC completely froze !!!! I then ran live update and got the very latest Core Centre which still sets FSB to 203 but i can adjust it without it freezing. But it resets to 203 after a reboot! ANY IDEAS????
The CPU temp stays between 41c and 59c. Is this going to affect my CPU or cause any problems????
Also in the bios, Performance is set to FAST (this was by default).
Is there anyway i can re-flash back to 1.20 bios????
PLEASE PLEASE HELP
T Hatley.

Use Corecenter solely for checking speeds/temps.
There were lots of problems with this program so it might still behave weird sometimes. Also take into account you're directly over/under/clocking the system while it's running, you can never predict it's stability.
The 203 FSB is directly caused by the setting FAST in the bios. Those settings regulate different levels of overclocking. Try setting it to slow and tell me what corecenter says the FSB is then?

K8N Neo4 BIOS 1.8 hates my harddrive

Okay, hi everone. I've seen a couple of threads on problems that seem similar to mine, but guessworks and assumptions are what got me where I am, so I'll ask specifically. I'm just half-educated in hardware matters (the worst kind, I know), so be gentle please.
Alright, so originally I was having a problem with my system restarting after shutdown, so I tried downloading upgrades for my motherboard (K8N Neo4 Platinum). The Liveupdate utility gave me BIOS 1.8, which I used through the windows GUI, apparently successfully. Well, until I restarted at least. Now, my main HD (listed by the BIOS as SAMSUNG SP1614C) has changed position from primary master to third master and whenever I try to move it to the top of the boot sequence, I get a blue screen crash, informing me that this is for my own safety and I should run "chkdsk" (however I should manage that). I'm pretty sure it's not the HD that developed an error all of a sudden. Sometimes I get the option of trying safe mode, which of course changes nothing. The flash utility made a floppy, but it seems that's just for putting the same BIOS back on.
What should I do?

I had that "chkdsk" message quite a few times along "restart" & "shutdowm" and overclock problems. the "chkdsk", "restart" & ""shutdown" stuff was solved by retiring Themaltake 430w PSU. The Tagan PSU and bios 1.6 allow me to overclock the way I want.

K8N Neo4 Platinum CPU core voltage

I have a K8N Neo4 Platinum (BIOS version 1.5 - latest) with an A64 3000+ Venice core wich works at 1.4v standard. They are supplied by an Enermax Noisetaker AX Series, model AX EG495AX-VE(G)SFMA (485 W). BIOS indicates core voltage values between 1.32v and 1.38v. The same is indicated under Windows Xp (XP1) by the MSI CoreCenter. Are these fluctuations normal? Do you get the same readings on the same mainboard model?

Cosminel,
Looking at your latest speedfan redaings, I think you have quite small and normal fluctations on vcore and all rails.
I have bigger variations on my Tagans and Aspire on the 12v rails depending on idle /load.
All values looks OK, except for the low 3,3v, but since it´s stable with low variation, it still may have something to do with the readings more then a bad powerdelivery.
You could always run Prime95 torture test ( under options) and monitor the fluctations with speedfan during heavy load and see if the 3,3v keep going down or keeps stable at 3.12-3.16 and the other rails as well.
The important thing is that your system is stable.

K8N Neo4 Plat NB fan Speed problems

Hey,
I recently bought this system (see signature), and just today the NB fan started going haywire… I’ve done some searching on these forums and it appears im not the only one that is having problems with the K8N Neo4 Platinum chipset cooler.
CnQ reports RPM numbers in the upper 7000 (usually around 7500 RPM), and the noise it generates is intolerable.
I’ve tried to manually set the NB fan speeds via the recommended SpeedFan application, but to no prevail.
Can it really be that there are no solutions to this problem other than replacing the chipset fan?
If that is so MSI should really consider selling future revisions of the motherboard with a different fan, or, enable control of the NB fan voltage.
I really hope someone can help with this, all the other topics didn’t provide any other solution than to replace the fan… but the last entry to these discussions was back in May, so I hope additional solutions may have surfaced.
Thanks

It wont go any faster then present though.
In my case the fanmate with setting wide open produces a little less rpm on the northbridge then without this device.
the fan will spin faster if the voltage applied to the fan is higher, and slower if the voltage is lower. so if you supply the same voltage (basicaly use the same connector on the mobo) and keep the fan mate to full, the fan will spin a little bit slower since the fan mate already acts like a resistor, even if set at full speed.

K8N Neo4 SLI Onboard Creative Audio Problem

I'm using a K8N Neo4 SLI board with the CA something Creative Audio chip onboard. After a cold boot, the audio is alright but after a period of time, I begin to lose power in my left speaker for some reason . This has been confirmed to be a problem pertaining to my mobo, and not my speakers. Any suggestions?

Tried to used driver cleaner to clean all the Creatives drivers then used the drivers provided from the CD or used the latest drivers. If still cannot then configured from Control panel on the speaker or Sound Manager itself. Gd luck.

MSI NEO4 Platinum + DUAL CORE detection problem after soft reboot

I just build a new AMD dual core system (4800+) and it consistently fails to detect the second core after a soft reboot from windows Xp. The MSI NEO4 Platinum came pre-flashed with the latest bios version 1.B. If power off or use the reset button I can consistently get it to detect both processors. Anyone else having this problem? Or know of a solution?
Thanks.

Hi, I did a upgrade from a 3200 venice to a Opty 165.[This is a different situation than your new build] I deleted the uniprocessor ACPI from the device manager before I removed the old cpu. It was a bit weird for me in that at first the bios saw it as a 165 dual core then the next time it would come up as single core. It went back and forth a few times between single and dual core in bios. I tinkered with a few things in the bios but not really sure if it helped but it eventualy stayed as dual core in bios and showes as dual core in windows. I have my MPS table version set to 1.4 in bios [ but it was this before change in cpu] also my IOAPIC is now greyed out [unable to change it, but it wasn't before] - both these are in Advanced bios features. In power management I have the ACPI standby state set to auto. Hope some of this might help you.

K8N Neo BIOS Flash; No Vid Signal

Another problem with this board!...I an attempt to cure some of the 3D game instability issues, I flashed the BIOS with ver 1.2 then 1.31. Did not cure the 3D problems, but now there is no video signal until WinXP is loading! (monitor light just flashes) Once in Windows it runs okay, albeit with the same 3D problems!
Anyone had this? It makes it impossible to get to the BIOS or boot with a floppy etc... By pressing the power off/on many times, occasionally the initial boot screen will show.

K8n NEO4 bios update to 1D: audigy + pci modem = no start (not even video signal

I updated my old 1.4 bios (alredy updated once) to 1D. The system was running fine but i was preparing for dual core update.
After bios update the neo4 was like dead. Not even video signal.
I removed both SB audigy and pci adsl modem and it started as usual.
If i add 1 pci card only (audigy OR PCI modem) the system works, while if i add BOTH the cards it is dead.
Changing slots did not solve the problem.
System is running with defaults values.
Any bios setting? do i have to go back to 1.4, 1.5 or 1.6 bios to use an athlon 64 X2 4800+?
Thx

K8N Neo4 BIOS 1.4, SATA

After updating the BIOS to v.1.4, I can't install Windows XP anymore. The installer complains that I have no hard drive. In fact, I have two Seagate SATA HDs. I had to downgrade to v.1.2. What is the problem of v.1.4, or Windows?

If it helps any, my new system has been solid using 3.1, ever since I built it, two months ago. Yesterday, hoping to fix sporadic Battlefield 2 demo crashes, I went ahead via MSI Live Monitor, and flashed my bios to 3.4 (these bios numbers can be confusing, but I'm pretty sure 1.4 = 3.4).
For me, this was a very bad idea. With 3.4, I thought it wasn't even seeing my sata drives, but realized if I let the system sit, it would go ahead and boot after a long boot time, roughly 3 minutes (and the system gave a flurry of "new hardware found" activity, too quickly for me to see what all it modified). I tried everything, clearing CMOS, turning off everything in the bios that I didn't use, and etc. No matter what I did, I got that 3 minute boot-up, like the bios was trying to init something that wasn't there, and finally timing-out and booting from my hard drive. And, during the 3 minutes, the LEDs on the debug bracket were all four lit, indicating that the OS was booting.
Also, the SIL 3231 sata controller no longer had a driver associated with it in Device Manager. No matter what I tried, I couldn't fix it short of re-installing Windows XP, which I wasn't about to do for now.
When I looked at System Information, I saw that the bios change had changed a whole bunch of starting addresses, of nearly every system component. That seemed really strange to me.
Finally this morning, I flashed the bios back to 3.1, and everything is working fine again. The system boots up normally again, nice and fast, my SIL 3231 sata controller's driver is recognized again, and all is well. In System Information, I see that all of the starting addresses have been put back to what they were.
Take it for what it's worth. As for me, I won't be upgrading my bios again anytime soon, unless I can figure out what the problem was.

K8N Neo4 Bios MS-7125

Recently bought a 3700+ Sandiego.
Have tried Bios 1.4 and 1.52b and it seems that the Maxtor 300 gb problem is back.
After flashing Bios does not see HD.
Anyobody else have this problem or know if there is a fix for it?

Lord Anubis,
Try to eliminate a few things 1st.
