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

Modded bios doesn't add cpu id code .
murdoK has a mod of 7125 here : http://msi-forum.de/thread.php?threadid=24337
4800 X2 supported since 1D according to this :

    [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 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 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.

  • Yoga 13 after Win 8.1 update - apps for Netflix, CNN, ESPN, etc. will not play video - WTH?

    Can someone point me to where I can download the right driver(s) / updates that fix thw Windows 8.1 mess that crippled video playback in the Modern/Metro Win8 interface please?  
    I had other issues with wireless (which I fixed by buying a Linsys 802.11ac USB nub - finally decent range & performance), but really want to get this Win 8.1 video playback issue fixed.  
    OS is Windows 8.1
    Version 6.3.9600 Build 9600
    System Model 20175 
    System SKU Lenovo_MT_20175
    BIOS Version/Date Lenovo 66N55WW 2/28/2013
    BIOS Mode UEFI
    HD Graphics 4000 Driver date 10/1/2013
    Driver Version 10.18.10.3316
    Monitor driver is generic PnP Monitor by Microsoft, dated 6/21/2006
    Driver Version 6.3.9600.16384
    Purchased the system May, 2013.  
    Very disappointed that Microsoft/Intel/Lenovo forced this 8.1 "upgrade" on us without having checked it for flaws in operation like this.  I've read other people having this, and similar problems, so any fixes / suggestions / links are greatly welcomed.  

    (Note that all of the following applies only to the Yoga 13)
    I think the previous reply is inaccurate in several ways.  Let me address each one:
    "Seems like the fix for many of our Windows 8.1 update issues is to roll back to the Windows 8 drivers Lenovo offers on its site (Conexant Audio Driver in this case)"
    This isn't quite correct.  There is no need to "roll back" to any previous driver versions.  What actually happened with the Windows 8.1 upgrade is that the Windows installation process reinstalled or refreshed all of the drivers in the system, and for some reason this driver installation process screwed up and left some drivers not functioning correctly. In almost all cases the solution is to simply reinstall that driver with the current/same version. The Conexant driver is the poster child for this problem.  The version of the driver that comes with the Windows 8.1 upgrade is the same as the version on the Lenovo site.  However it is often necessary to reinstall this driver to get it installed correctly. 
    I just want to reiterate that this is not a version problem, it's a problem with the way 8.1 reinstalled the drivers. This need to reinstall drivers affected people differently, with some people needing to reinstall other drivers as well, such as the Intel Thermal Framework drivers, etc.
    Windows 8.1 comes with newer versions (also newer than the reposted drivers on the Lenovo site) of the network Wifi drivers that for my system have been an improvement. However I have not experienced a lot of the Wifi issues that others have reported.  The only issue I have had with Wifi is that it was always a bit slow to connect after coming out of sleep mode (30-60 seconds). After the 8.1 upgrade my Wifi connects very fast (less than 5 seconds).
    Windows 8.1 also came with an updated Intel graphics driver that is newer than the one on the Lenovo site.  I am not aware of any problems with this new version.
    My Yoga 13 is now functioning perfectly after the 8.1 update, although I did have to perform the reinstall of the Conexant drivers, and I had to reapply the fix for the touch screen missing the first swipe.  I recommend the list of Yoga 13 fixes mentioned on this site.
    "Microsoft or Lenovo should add a setting to the "Configure Windows Update" options - it should be "Wait 6 months after the update is published for it to stabilize"
    I don't agree with this as the drivers that come with 8.1 weren't unstable or problematic. Again, the problem is with the 8.1 installation process, and I do agree that Microsoft should work on fixing that.  It has certainly caused a lot of people some grief, but it also seems that we have a solution which is the driver reinstalls.
    I also don't recommend turning off Windows update.
    Finally, it may be that some of the issues you bulleted are more serious than I am aware, as I haven't had all of these problems.  I would like to know more about these:
    "Kill the video / audio in Windows Apps (aka "Modern" interface) - Netflix, ESPN videos, CNN videos, etc.  "
    This is certainly a common problem. At least we have the fix for this (reinstall the Conexant drivers).
    "Degrade WLAN performance (range and speed)"
    I am skeptical that 8.1 is responsible for Wifi issues.  Seems like in general the new 8.1 network stack is better.  I know that many people had wifi issues prior to the update.
    "Fuzz out the resolution / display such that Display has to be turned down from 150% to "small""
    I don't know about this issue, so I would like to hear more.
    Mess up touchpad, keyboard, tablet-mode keyboard
    This again seems more like a problem that existed before 8.1, as many people had issues with this.  The most consistent solution seems to be disabling the "ymc" service.

  • I am asked if I want to allow Mozilla to update my hard drive every time I start Mozilla, even after I have said "yes" several times.

    I am used to this question coming up each time Mozilla updates, but usually it only comes up once, we click "yes", and all is well. This time it keeps coming up. Yet when I checked, Mozilla says we are up to date. Resetting Firefox also didn't resolve the issue. There aren't any windows updates that are new. So I'm at a loss.

  • [Solved]Laptop does not start (not even bios)

    Hi all,
    I was about to install archlinux on my laptop. When I generate partitions (I used GPT), I saw something like this:
    "If you have a BIOS motherboard (or plan on booting in BIOS compatibility mode) and you want to setup GRUB on a GPT-partitioned drive, you will need to create an extra BIOS Boot Partition of size 1 or 2 MiB and EF02 type code. Syslinux does not need one."
    So, I was planning to make this. When I run cgdisk, I was that lthere was a 1007kb unusued(?) space. So I thought I can use this space for boot sector. Then I changed its type to EF02. When I did this, my laptop shutted down quickly and does not start again. When I press the power up button; I hear the usual starting noise, and then it shuts down again.
    What did I do to my laptop?
    What I tried:
    Remove battery, wait for 5 minutes, try again
    Remove hdd, try again
    Unplug&plug bios battery, try again
    Edit: Solved with a shame. Wall-charger was unplugged. This topic can be removed.

  • K8N Neo4 hangs after bios update

    Here is my situation:
    Onboard ethernet seemed to die last night so I plugged in a usb wifi adpater - worked fine.  Ran Live Update and updated the bios in windows (Not sure the version) and it seemed to install ok but hung at the "Restarting Windows" screen.
    After a manual restart, it seems to start going through the motions but then gets to something like "NTLoader not available" and gives the option to restart.
    I can get into the bios setup and all of my drives master/slaves appear to be there and I know it can see the floppy drive as I stuck one in and got the "Non system disk" message.
    Would creating an ms-dos install disk and a disk with the latest K8N Neo4 bios be my next setp?
    Thx!

    if you're still having problems, try unhooking the sata's/ide's for all the drives except c: or whatever has the os. let it boot once, then rehook em up.
    i just updated to the 1.50 bios on a neo4-f and it was trying to boot windows off the secondary ide drive even tho it's 2nd in order.

  • MSI z77a GD80 PCI-e running at 8x and Bios update problem

    Hi guys, first of all, sorry for my bad English, this is also my first topic, i recently bought a new PC, the spec is:
    i7 3770k @4,3ghz
    Corsair H80
    MSI z77a GD80 bios 1.2
    GTX 680 lightning
    8gb ddr3 1600mhz cas9 G.Skill
    1TB HDD WD Caviar Black
    Asus xonar DX
    The problem is, since the first bios, i can't run my PCI-E at 16x, i know when my card is idle the PCI-E goes to 1.1@4x , but when it's in use, it turns to PCI-E 3.0@8x   , I'm also waiting for bios updates to check if it solves my problem, but when i try to download the new version 1.3, the download fails ( I'm trying to download with Live update 5 )m is there somebody that can help me solve this problem pls?
    I've tried until now:
    Replace the card into the first PCI-E slot again
    Clear the PCI-E slot
    Update to bios 1.1 and 1.2 ( 1.3 is not even downloading )
    Set PCI Gen 3 from Auto to disable, and it keeps running with PCI-E 3.0@8x
    Thx for any help !

    Quote from: Froggy Gremlin on 18-November-12, 16:22:21
    As per the manual, the VGA must be in the primary slot to run 16X. BIOS setting for graphics 3.0 should be set to Auto.
    Do not use Live Update for BIOS updates. Too many borked boards are the result. Use the forum's USB method;
      >> Forum Flash Method <<
    Just curious. If I installed Add-on card that run at PCI-E 4X on 3rd slot (2nd slot is empty) what's configuration will apply ?
