K8N Neo4 (MS-7125) USB, Mic, S/P Out, and LAN ports all non-functional

I'm hoping someone can give me a hand with this.  I'm not a novice when it comes to motherboards but this particular board is making me feel like it.
Ok, I've got a K8N-Neo4 MS-7125 model.  Athlon64 3700.  I have all the current drivers and ran the liveupdate to make sure. 
The LAN port will light up, but the Device manager will not recognize it, nor will the LAN utility.
The board has 4 USB ports.  The top two are non-functional, the bottom two work.
The S\P OUT port has never worked, nor do I know how to engage it or find it on the device manager
The microphone....this one is fun.  Its like the microphone is stuck in a feedback loop.  Whatever comes through my speakers, is heard on the other end by other users.  I am not heard at all, although I can hear myself through my OWN speakers.  Even with the mic unplugged, people still can hear my speakers.  Imagine having your speakers plugged into the mic jack.  The only way to kill the feedback is to actually go into the sound manager and mute the whole mic system. 
I can live without the LAN and USB ports, but it would be a HUGE help if someone can help me with the mic and S\P ports!!
Thanks!!!

Ok, I'll do my best to remember everything

As for the flavor of the NEO4 the only other numbers I know of, is on the board it says N1996 right below the processor.  Is that what you need?  Its a PCB V.3 board nvidia Nforce4.
Speakers are standard cyber acoustic
Logitech Mic/Headset combo
This particular case allows for hookups for headphones and mic in the front.  The case has jumpers in the back that allow you to gain access from the front (but you probably already know that).  I've always used the front MIC/Headset jack, and I have a splitter in the back for the headphones and that jumper.  In trying to resolve the issue, I tried every jack with the microphone (even the ones that I know are labeled as speakers).  I do get my own voice through MY speakers on the front jack AND the mobo jack.
Hopefully I got you enough info!
Thanks in advance!!!

  • Can't Boot from CD still K8N Neo4 MS-7125

    I made several boot CDs, but am unable to boot from them.  I don't have a floppy.  I want to flash my bios.  I tried to read every post related to my problem but could not find a match exactly so that's why I'm  posting.
    The error says
    EMM 386 Address line A20 already enabled.
    The other posts say to simply set the Gate A20 option to FAST.  I went through my Bios settings several times and don't have any kind of Gate A20 option to set.
    Win Xp tells me my Bios is v1.0 but my Bios says my Bios is 1.5 and I'm trying to Flash to v 1.8.
    I've tried everything I could think of.

    I don't have access to the Internet on my computer, I'm typing this on my friends computer.  I found a way to get around the problem though temporarily until I can figure out a way to create a bootable
    CD.
    My work around was this.  I created several boot CDs from several different software programs, none of them worked.  I tried Ultimate Boot CD UBCD. and there was an option called go to Dos level using Madboot.  I went to DOS level and tried running the flash utility on my C: drive but it came back with the message ' unknown file or program'.  Then I tried putting in a CD into the CDrom drive that I burned earlier with the files for flashing the BIOS and ran them from there.   Why didn't they run on my C: drive and only on my CDrom drive? I don't know, but it worked.

  • MSI K8N Neo4 not recognizing USB 2.0

    All my USB ports are recognized as being USB 1.1.  Here's the kicker, in Device Manager, there are two USB Controller nodes.  One has a Standard OpenHCD USB Host controller (USB 1.1) and the other node has a PCI Class USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller.  However, all my devices are being run off the USB 1.1 controller.  If I disable or uninstall the OHCD controller, none of my devices work even with the Enhanced controller still available.  I'm at my wits end on how to get this taken care of.  Any advice would be appreciated it.

    Bataar,
    You don't say which neo4 you have as there are 7 models this can be abit confusing. Which NF4 Motherboard Do I Have.
    on the 7100 SLI versions the bios option is as described in my 1st post the onboard devices section.
    on the 7125 Ultra versions Bios the USB Controller is in Integrated peripherals.
    options are the same in both.
    I do have the 7125 board and under Integrated Peripherals, the only option as far as the USB Controller is enable or disable.  That's it.

  • K8N Neo4 (MS-7125) northbridge fan replacement?

    Hello, all. I have started to build a new system using the K8N Neo4 Ultra (MS-7125) mobo. When installing the mobo yesterday, I noticed for the first time that two of the fan blades for the northbridge had broken off. They were not in the anti-static bag and this was the first time I had the board out. I ordered this on May 25, so I can't return it.
    Would it be a good idea to replace the fan?
    Any suggestions on what to use for a replacement?
    Will I need to take the mobo back out of the case to replace the fan?
    Thanks much.

    Should still be under warranty from MSI so you should be able to RMA the board by contacting them

  • Bad USB mic quality with Vista and 4GB *F

    Finally. After spending many, many nights up until the AM searching and troubleshooting I've finally found a solution to my problem. The problem being awful mic quality on my Vista 64, 4GB machine with my Logictech USB mic. The solution has come in an untested hotfix from Microsoft which I found by accident while checking some nerd forum.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/933433/en-us
    You need to request the fix from Microsoft and they'll email you a link to download it with a password.
    I now sound crystal clear on vent and I'm over the moon. I hope this will help others too.

  • K8N NEO4 FI (v. 1.0) no video, no LAN, no POST

    It happened randomly the other day -- was playing an online game when I got a brief blue screen and my PC shut off.  Now when I power up I get no video and no LAN activity and of course no POST.  Everything spins up fine, all fans, HD, video card fan, NB fan ... swapped out video card and mem sticks with no luck.  I've cleared CMOS numerous times and sometimes I can get into BIOS and make changes but eventually it locks up and I have to shut it down.
    I haven't swapped out the PSU (Antec Eathwatts 500) yet because everything powers on just fine and the PSU is only a couple months old.
    Thoughts/suggestions anyone?  Specs:

    What was other PSU that you've tried?
    Re-seat the CPU as well and apply new thermal paste{not too much}
    Use 1st two DIMM's close to CPU socket.
    Thanks Svet, I'll try re-seating the CPU.  I saw a link on how to separate HSF from CPU without sticking somewhere on the site, do you have the link please? 
    I used an Antec 450w Truepower to troubleshoot.  When I removed my Audigy 2 ZS PCI sound card and a stick of RAM I was able to boot into BIOS, FWIW.

  • Pavilion dv5=1233se - USB ports are non=functional

    I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on my system, when I started iTunes the USB2 ports failed to recognize any attached hardware (mouse, iPod memory sticks, etc.)  I have downloaded and installed the latest drivers for my mouse and upgraded iTunes.  I have gone through removing the "USB Roots Hub" and then scanned for new hardware.  The USB Root Hub's were recognized and show they are working properly.  I have also done a recovery to a date prior to this problem, but the USB ports are still non-functional.  Any ideas?

    This is the BIOS problem!!! I'm experienced the same problem with an usb hdd. Unfortunately the newest BIOS was faulty I guess so it's been removed. You can't do anything until a new BIOS will be released but it might take months...
    I'm able to connect some devices over an usb hub and reinsert cca 2x or 3x that usb hdd to get it work.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum 7125 not posting after overclock testing okay

    Hi Guys,
    I'm having a real stinker of a problem with my 7125 board.  I have all good components, but can't seem to get this bastard to post reliably when I'm overclocking.  I was thinking that it was my power supply so I bought a new Antec Neo3 650W supply and it doesn't matter.  I also got a new Opteron 165 processor and it still has problems.  I even RMA'd my board and then sent me a new one.  Here is my setup.
    7125 ver1
    Opty 165
    Crucial PC3200 Ballistix
    Nvidia PCIE Gforce 6200 video
    Antec Neo3 650W
    2x Seagate SATA 80gig (matched) 7200.9
    RAID 0 via the SIL 3114
    extra 160 gig HD (using the Nvidia SATA port)
    Pioneer DVD 109 DVDRW - pri IDE
    Sony DRU-820A DVDRW - sec IDE
    Hauppauge PVR150
    3.5" card reader (connected via internal usb header)
    Lian Li case
    When I run the system at stock speeds everything works fine, including the initial posts.
    However, when I overclock, everything is erratic.  Sometimes, I can overclock the entire system to 290x3, 166, stable memory settings, and prime 95 orthos the  out of it for days on end (max CPU at 49C), but when I select restart in windows, it shuts down fine, but will subsequently not post. I have to hit the reset key several times, then it recovers itself and undoes the overclocks.
    I have tried all sorts of memory timings from the crucial info - it recommends 2.8V and 2-2-2-8 timings.
    I have heard that my memory is good for overclocking, but I'm now starting to wonder if it is the MSI Neo4 board or the Nvidia Nforce 4 ultra chipset.
    Could it be the Raid 0 on the Sil 3114?  I haven't messed with this as I would rather have a RAID 0 setup, then a little overclock.
    Is there a good NF4 ultra board out there that is better than this?
    I can't imagine anything else to do except keep spending more money to eliminate more variables.
    Your thoughts?  Thx Nick

    relax your CPU HTT freq. by 10-20Mhz and retest.
    relax your memory timings e.g. from 2-2-2-8 to 2.5-3-3-8, to findout from where its comes then find optimal settings.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum 7125 - Switching from Single to Dual Opti - Startup Issues

    My problem is the following:
    I switched from Winchester 3200 single core to Dual Opteron 170.
    The BIOS indicates it reading the both cores with the ACPI lingo.
    I did patch the driver according to AMD with their specified download.
    Now, when I start up the computer, I have to restart several times to get it to run but it does run although later locks up either when not in use or after an hour or so of gaming (mech warrior mercs)  ???
    I have checked the power supply voltages and they are as indicated in my profile, but I am wondering if the power
    supply is not the problem.  I know opterons' require a little more umph than normal single cores and this one is 4 years
    old.
    What do you folks think?
    I would really hate to reinstall windows if it just a power supply issue.
    Thanks in advance for you advise.

    Reinstalling the operating system seems like awful lot of work if its the power supply.
    But I appreciate the advice.
    This rig is about 3 years old.  I will probably wait until I have some time to do this.
    What drivers do you think I need to get the USB function again for now?
    Thanks.

    "Reinstalling the operating system seems like awful lot of work if its the power supply."
    Get a decent PSU and re-test 1st, here can be found good PSU suggestions.

    Just delete them from device manager, then windows should detect and install them automatically.

  • K8N Neo4 (ms-7125 v1) PCI Express Mystery

    2 gig DDR dual channel ram
    ATI ALL-in-Wonder 2006 PCI-E
    1 sata wd 200gig (boot drive)
    1 ide wd 160gig
    dvd player
    dvd burner
    I had posted before on this subject, but I'm thinking I was off on the wrong tangent.
    To recap. In the middle of the boot process (Windows XP banner displaying) video went dark and bios "no video detected" alarm went off. After this I could occasionally get the machine to start, usually after a reset. Sometimes it would work fine, other times I would get lockups. I thought the video card was bad. Bought a new, identical card. Same problem. I had recently flashed the bios (maybe a week before), I thought that may be to blame. I rolled back to the previous version, made no difference.
    If I remove the PCI-E video card and put an old PCI card in, the machine is back to its old rock solid self.
    It is looking to me like there is something wrong with the PCI-E bus. The power supply is an Antec 450W "Smart Power".  It has two 12 volt rails, that output 15 and 17 watts. This machine had been rock solid (1.5 years) up to this point, so I doubt it was underpowered. One thing that does trouble me a bit is the fact that when I remove the AC from the power supply it emits a strange noise ( a weird hiss) maybe 4 seconds after I remove the power cord. Maybe it always did this, I don't know. In my imagination I can see a leaking cap that is boiling off electrolyte. Speaking of caps, I closely inspected all the caps on the motherboard and none of them seem to be bloated or leaking.
    I tried another power supply. A single rail (20 pin) 350w Sparkle. The video behaved the same (pci-e not detected by bios). I'm not so sure this proves anything because with the Sparkle the system may be underpowered.
    Where do I go from here? Did anyone ever hear of the PCI-E circuitry craping out and everything else continues to work?? Could it be the power supply?? I would think if something was wrong with one of the 12 volt rails it would affect both. I would hate to drop $90 on another power supply and find out it doesn't make any difference.
    HELP.

    The bios alarm is the one long two short, my board manual says that means video card not initialized. The pci-e card was in tight and locked down. Like I said above, I tried a brand new version of the same card, same problem. Since the all-in-wonder 2006 worked for a year and a half without problems, I'm thinking it is not a compatability problem.
    I'm now running with a pci card and the system is it's old solid self again. If I look in device manager all the pci-e devices report they are functioning normally. Anybody know of a pci-e bus torture test ??
    I've been doing a lot of reading on power supplies. Seems like Antec does not have the quality it used to. Again, I hate to drop the cash for a new ps if that is not the problem. A good one is not cheap. If I am sure the ps is the problem I will go for it. I'm still not sure it isn't a failure on the board itself.

  • Perpetual Laggy System Performance (K8N NEO4 PLATINUM) 7125

    I was playing COUNTER STRIKE the other day and all the sudden the comp restarted but failed to reboot completely, meaning no post, no nothing but HD light on constant. I started removing all devices from IDE/SATA/PCI slots to see if it would reboot...no dice. I gave it a few more tries and still no luck.  I had to leave so when I came back, I went to troubleshooting again. I plugged in only my crappy low end GF4 card and IDE drives to see if it would and it did I looked through my BIOS to see if anything has faultered, since nothing was changed  I decided to plug my SATA drives in and blam again no boot/post.  I then reset the CMOS settings and wala it worked!    went to change the settings and then XP wouldn't boot up from my SATA drive. I decided to just reinstall everything because I like to start off fresh from fatal crashes. XP finished installing and still it wouldn't boot from SATA drive.  I installed all necessary SCSI/RAID drivers, yes I know it's SATA but it goes under the category of SCSI during initial XP install. I decided to repartition/reformat/reinstall and finally it booted off the SATA drive. after this nonsense was through I thought all was smooth sailing. little did I know I started encountering an annoying enormous speed decrease, every program I tried to load would take 20-50 secs (sometimes longer) to load. so I thought what the hell, I should prolly flash the BIOS. I then flashed to 1.6 and still no dice. I then went through flashing all the 1.7's and still had the same daym problem.  all drivers that I installed are the most recent. I'm now perplexed what to do from here?    has anyone else encountered this problem?
    I also have another question, what are average temps for everyone's CPU with the stock AMD HSF?

    ok I had to speak too soon. I'm now encountering the daym load lag again but it's not as consistent as it was before. the PSU I tested again today is a FORTRON 530W the specs are as noted... +3.3V@30/17A,+5V@44/24A,[email protected],+12V@16/28A,[email protected],+5VSB@2A. he wouldn't bring his RAM over since he's afraid it'll somehow it up and past it's RMA warranty, it's understandable though. do yall think increasing RAM voltage might possibly alleviate the issue? it's currently set at 2.65 stock. I can test PSU for figures but I don't know how to do so without load unless both the 20 pin and 4 pin connectors can be left out to test? sorry for the vulgarity but I'm starting to get frustrated as all hell.

    you are not telling us what you were last doing before it went wrong, believe me that might give some clue, however
    do you have the speakers connected to pc or not, if you do and if there is something wrong then you should hear series of beeps and by looking at the motherboard manual you might identify the prob, . you  also say you pressed the red button but you are suppose to hold it  for a while. try to hold it for at least ten second.
    MSI does suggest unplug the pc, disconnect all power cables from PSU to the motherboard with no exception, then remove the memory, graphic card, and cpu, clear CMOs and hold it at least ten second (pref 20 sec). test those item on another pc if you can, reinstall, . if still prob, try the safe mode by pressing F8 then try VGA mode. you might have corrupted driver for the graphic card. five things can go wrong psu, cpu motherboard, memory, and HDD. by pressing f8 if safe mode appears then you have a reasonably good system the prob is window on HDD, try another HDD with a fresh window. keep cool and good luck

  • USB mice, acceleration curve discrepancies and a whole lotta 'whah??'

    Hi all.
    I have been using my MacBook with a combination of the trackpad and a Microsoft Wireless Notebook Opitcal Mouse 4000. Both of which work very well for me.
    After putchasing an old Apple Pro USB mouse on eBay I noticed for the first time that the acceleration was really messed up. I started reading into the acceleration curve concept with OS X and learned that it has caused other folks problems as well. Since this issue I have not used the Apple Pro mouse as it puts a surprising amount of tension in my arms and neck trying to compensate for the change in accelaeaition.
    I recently purchased a vertical mouse from Evoluent which uses a neutral 'handshake grip' to eliminate the twist in your forearm when using a mouse. The ironic part is that I purhased this verticle mouse to eliminate the possibilty of RSI am back in the same situtaion as with the Apple USB mouse.
    I have tried a product called USB overdrive and it has helped somewhat but I cannot figure out why the MacBook trackpad and the Mcrosoft Mouse don't have this issue.
    Ay thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks Mac Gods,

    Anyone with any experience with these, or have a suggestion?
    The main thing is compatibilty with OS 10.8.5. Even though a lot of the controllers are listed as Class Compliant, there's still some posts out there about problems using some of them with 10.8.5.
    Thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • Network Configuration Window Freezes When USB NDIS Internet Connection Sharing and Ethernet Port Are Used Simultaneously

    Current Setup:
    Asrock Extreme 4 Z77 mobo with built-in Broadcom NetLink (TM) Gigabit Ethernet.  Windows 8 Pro. Intel i5-3570k (using onboard Intel 4000 HD Graphics).  RAID0- 2 OCZ Vertex 4's.  
    I will refer to this setup as my tower.
    The Ethernet port works fine by itself.  When I use wired tethering with my Android phone (Droid 4 running on 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich), it works fine when nothing is connected into the Ethernet port in the mobo.  
    The issue arises when I try to connect both simultaneously.  The network configuration window in windows basically freezes and I cannot really navigate it without a ~60 second delay at best.  
    I would like to be able to accept the internet from my Android via a USB tether and either bridge the connection or use the internet connection sharing service to route traffic through the unused Ethernet port on the mobo (either to another computer/xbox
    or more desirably a switch/router to spread to the entire home network).  I have extensively researched the issue of Windows 8 become slow and unresponsive when I attempt to do this and I have not found anyone with the exact problem.  I am able to
    do both the MAC bridge miniport (bridge 2 connections) and Internet Connection Sharing though a Windows Vista (home premium) Laptop I have. The difference between the laptop and the tower I am try to do this on is the laptop has a WIFI and Ethernet connection
    while the tower only has the on-board Ethernet. 
    Do I have all the necessary equipment to accomplish this, or do I need to buy a PCIe WIFI card?  If so could I get away with just getting a USB WIFI dongle?
    Any help would be very appreciated. 

    I had the same problem and came here by searching.
    Per Rosengren's method solved the problem, but he didn't say how to do it, so I'll try to explain step-by-step for anyone that may venture here.
    Open Device Manager (right click on Computer > Manage > on the left side, under System Tools choose Device Manager)
    Choose the problematic device in Network Adapters (for me it's called HTC Remote NDIS based device)
    Right click on it and choose Update Driver Software...
    Click Browse my computer for driver software
    Click Let me pick from a list of device drivers
    Uncheck the box Show compatible hardware
    For the manufacturer, choose Microsoft Corporation
    Now you will have two options:
    - Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device
    - Remote NDIS Compatible Device
    I chose the second one and it solved the problem, but if it doesn't work you could try the other one. In my case, the driver that was being used was neither of these, but a special driver from Android SDK ADT bundle.
    Pick one and click Next. If a dialog comes up, confirm by clicking Yes.
    Wait a few seconds for the connection to restart. If it doesn't work, try disabling and reenabling USB tethering on the phone, or reconnect the USB cable.
    I should also note that I'm using a custom Android ROM on HTC Wildfire S (unofficial Cyanogenmod). If you have a stock ROM with HTC Sense, maybe this method may not work and you'll need a proprietary HTC driver.

  • MSI K8N-Neo4 and PCI-E x4

    Hi Folks,
    I've got an MSI K8N-Neo4 (MS-7125) motherboard that I'm looking to add a RAID card to.  It's got a PCI-Express x4 slot on the board that I'd like to utilize.  However, I've seen some conflicting information regarding it's use.  In the manual on page 2-26 it states "PCI Express x4 Slot (Support PCI-E x2 device Only)".  However when I look at the webpage for the board at http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum& it makes no mention of this limitation.
    The main reason why I'm wondering is because I'd like to add a HighPoint RocketRAID SATA raid controller to my system.  If the slot can handle x4 cards, then I'll purchase the 2310 model, which is an x4.  If it cannot, then I'll purchase the 2300, which is an x2 model.  I've seen some mentions of other people on the forums with K8N-Neo4 boards using the 2320 (an x4 card with 8 SATA ports instead of 4 on the 2310), but haven't seen what sort of bandwidth they're getting.  Are you actually able to get PCI-E x4 bandwidth out of this port?  Or will it downgrade it to PCI-E x2 or PCI-E x1 (the PCI-E spec says that when cards a plugged into a different size port they only need to be supported at x1)?  Or, and even better question, will it even work?
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Those are not different then from what's on the motherboard
    Want a real one? Look at this: >>Real one!<<
    That's real raid controller.....
    What you mention is just the same as the onboard stuff.
    As for the Linux raid stuff, I presume you mean the Linux Software raid, no those controllers aren't that good, but the High-points aren't that good either.
    Heck, they don't even have their own CPU or memory.....the one I showed you has and is WAY faster
    (PS. sample given is PCIx, won't fit your board, but that's a raid controller!)
    Okay, that still doesn't answer my question about the PCI-E slot.  You make a decent point, but I was more using the Highpoints as an example and because they came up in several searches of the forum.  For the sake of getting a real answer, lets assume it is a real RAID card, such as the PROMISE SuperTrak EX8350 RTL, which according to the Serial ATA on Linux page is a real raid card and all that.  Will it work in the PCI-E x4 slot on the MSI K8N-Neo4 Platinum or not?
    All I really want to know is if the slot can actually run a PCI-E x4 card or not.  The documentation contradicts itself.
