K8N Neo4 Platinum (7030) issues with new CPU

I was running a 3000(754).  It was running just fine, I decided to swap in a 3700.  I can't get to post or anything.  Everything comes on(fans, lights ect...).  I can put back in my 3000 and it works fine.  I have updated the bios.  Is this CPU supported?  Or is it a dead cpu?  Thanks for the help.

Sorry for the lack of info, I have updated my sig.  Please let me know if any other info is needed.  Does moving the jumpers clear the Bios or the CMOS?  I have done that.  I will take the battery out tonight and see if that works.
don't forgot to remove power cord from the PSU before Clear CMOS.
provide full details about your newest CPU which you are tying to install.
check for bent CPU pins too.
what shows your D-Bracket?

  • HELP! K8n Neo Platinum (7030) 2.10 Bios -- CPU overheating

    AAAAAH Someone help me!!
    I just downloaded the MSI Liveupdate program, and Updated my Bios from 1.7 to 2.10.
    With Bios version 1.7 I was running my AMD 64 3200+ at solid 35-55 degrees (min to max)
    Now with this new bios version, my CPU runs at 57-72 degrees (min-max) !!!!!!
    HOLY CRAP -- this processor is not even rated to run at temperatures above 70 degrees Celsius!!
    I'm in the danger zone as I type out this message to you guys, and I'm worried I'll reduce the shelf life of my processor.
    CAN ANYONE HELP ME??? I've tried changing All the settings around in the bios, I've even set the processor down to about 1.8 ghz, and it's still running at temperatures above 55 degrees...
    From what I understand there is no way of removing a bios flash, is that correct? Am I stuck with this crappy 2.10 bios flash?
    What can I do? Please dear god... help me.

    Ok answers to your questions:
    My board is a MSI-7030 (K8N Neo Platinum) And Originally I flashed the bios from 1.7 to 2.1 Via Liveupdate (MSI Live Monitor & Live Update 3)
    - I read your faq on how to manually rollback the bios, and i rolled back to version 1.9 (which I had never had before)
    and that did not seem to work. My temp is still at 68-72 C -- even in the bios.
    A few questions I need to ask now:
    1) Is the next step is to revert back to 1.8? Then if that doesn't work, back to my original 1.7?
     -- also, 2) Who is Syar? Where can I get his version of the bios? --
    Finally: 3) What is the CMOS battery?  I know what the Jumper is, but I'm not sure what the battery is...
    Is that the circular battery that's next to the BIOS Jumper? (maybe a picture would help..)
    Thanks for all the responses so far! you guys are saving me from having a major emotional breakdown here.. I thought I was going to have to buy a new mobo.
    I'll check back here on the forums in a few hours to see if anyone has responded,
    (p.s. TY SO MUCH for caring enough to help a fellow hardware enthusiast!!!  )

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI - Booting with USB attached

    I've been unable to find anything definitive about this, so here goes:
    I have problems with booting (hangs on post) when I have USB devices plugged in (i.e. thumb drive, ext USB drive, USB scanner). I am using v3.6 now, but haven't tried v3.7. I've received advice in the past to check BIOS - disable boot to USB device - but it still doesn't fix the problem.
    Anyone experience this and know exactly how to fix it? I'm tired of disconnecting/reconnecting everything all the time.
    Thanks!

    Antec True Power II 550
    Sony DRU-500A DVD+/-R/RW
    Windows XP Pro SP 2

    OK
    I decided to take the plunge and update to BIOS v3.7, which I hate doing because MSI tends to break things while fixing others in their updates.
    And guess what....it works!!!!!!!
    I plugged in a thumb drive, USB scanner, and external USB hard drive, and it boot with them all connected.
    So far so good

  • K8n neo4 platinum slow internet with nvidia or marvel

    I just built a computer with the k8n platinum. The internet works for about 2 web pages and then freezes. I know it's not my connection because I have another computer hooked up thats working fine. by the way does the same thing using the marvel ethernet connections. latest nforce4 drivers installed and windows xp pro sp2 and all updates installed. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

    Hi,  welcome to the forum.
    What exactly freezes?  Just IE?  Or Windows? or then entire system?
    Please tell us more about your system.  That will help us help you try to fix your problem.  See my signature for the kind of information that is useful.
    Thanks.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum boots only with CMOS reset

    This is my first build (and perhaps my last). The system ran without error for two weeks but the BIOS recognized only 2.88 GB rather than the 4 GB which are in the DIMM slots. I removed the power cord, put on an anti-static strap and reseated two of the 1 GB sticks. Since that time it will not boot without a CMOS reset. (But the BIOS recognizes 3.9 GB on most of my boots. On my last one, it was back to 2.88 GB).
    Here's my booting process:
    Remove power cord and switch PSU off.
    Put on wrist strap and depress CMOS reset button on board for ten seconds.
    Insert power cord and switch PSU on.
    At this point the system boots normally without my depressing the normal power switch at the front of the case! And it runs without error once it boots.
    I can reboot the system from the operating system without problems. When I shutdown (power off), depressing the normal power switch has no effect and I have to boot with the CMOS reset process above.
    Memtest86 shows no memory errors. A similar thread with Neo2's suggested setting ht = 4x but that didn't help in my case. I also let the BIOS load optimized defaults but that didn't fix things either. I'm open to whatever suggestions you can make! (If my signature with my system configuration doesn't appear, I'll post it in a followup.)

    Looks like a Memory/Motherboard problem but I've never heard of it before or a low powered power supply could stop it recognising the 4GB so may be worth borrowing a more powerful one to test and see.. all out of ideas on this now 
    You were right. I borrowed a Rosewill RE501-BLK 3.3v@28a, 5v@30a, 12v@34a, 500W and now I don't have to reset the CMOS to boot! The case power switch still doesn't work--I have to turn off the PSU and turn it on again to boot--but others in this thread have suggested improper wiring of the switch which I'll check out. But I certainly can live with this since the PSU power switch is at least external to the case (as opposed to the CMOS reset switch). Now I'll go to the PSU thread to pick out a new PSU.
    The BIOS on repeated boots recognizes the memory as about 3.7 GB (and Linux at about 3.4 GB, but I suppose that there are "good" reasons that OS's give a different number than BIOS's) and I can live with that, also, since, in an earlier post in this thread, I quoted MSI's "warning" that I could only expect 3+ GB to be recognized by the BIOS if I filled all 4 DIMMs with 1 GB sticks. But I think my 1.52beta MS-7125 BIOS also contributed to this increase. (My v. 1.3 BIOS recognized only 2.88 GB.)
    I'm happy and thank all who contributed suggestions to this thread. Now I need to configure the software, a task that I know at least something about. 

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum - Sata Issue

    My problem has a long story behind it, so if you want to read the full story look here http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1254531
    Long story short, my psu died and when I got the new one back it killed my raid 0 array. I bought a brand new Western Digital 250 gb sata drive, plug it in and when I try to install Windows it doesn't detect it. Tried different sata drivers, updating bios, enabling / disabling raid in bios, different ports, different cables. Popped the HDD is another computer and it didn't pick it up. I am thinking my X-connect 500 watt psu is frying hard drives, but I am not quite sure. I bought an Antec psu tester which only tested the main 24 pin connector and it checked out fine.

    Never been able to see individual sata drives in the bios. Before this problem started I was running a raid 0 array which I was able to set as my first boot priority in the bios.
    I have tried many different combinations with the sata drivers. I have pressed f6 during the Windows install and used the NV raid sata drivers from the driver disk that came with the motherboard. Even though I am not running raid I tried it anyway. I know these drivers worked since I used them when I setup my raid 0 array when I first bought the system. Of course it didn't work so I tried downloading the latest sata raid drivers from the msi site, loaded them on a floppy and used them during the Windows install which did not work. Tried the same with the Silicon raid controller both the disk that came with the motherboard and the updated ones from the site. Nothing works. Tried without loading any sata raid drivers and same thing...no disk detected.
    I am pretty convinced this Ultra psu is screwing up my hard drives. I bought an Antec psu tester today, although it only checks my 24 pin connection and it checked out fine. I might return this Antec psu tester and buy a better one that allows me to test the molex and sata power connections.

  • K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI Bug with HTT 220

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone has this problem? You can't tweak the HTT post pass 220 at bios but able to do it using software overclock(clockgen/ntune).
    Flashed to the latest beta bios but still unable too.
    Anyone can help?
    Thanks.

    i've got a DFI board and i boot up in 250htt, i can't seem to go any higher than that mind you... though i've not -really- tried yet.
    only things i can suggest are these:
    are you running an SATA hard drive? if so try plugging your SATA cable into the nVidia SATA Controller Port 3 or port 4. on nforce3 mobo's ports 1 and 2 caused a lock on the maximum htt you could reach for some very bizzare reason,
    if you wanna go over 200htt always make sure your hyper transport multiplyer is set to x4 or below, reason for this is the HTT is rated for 1000mhz, you can go lower than 1000, but it wont go much higher than that. i've managed to get it running at 1200 but any higher and system wont boot.  HTT = htt-mhz x multiplyer (eg. 200 x 5 = 1000 , 250 x 4 = 1000 , 333 x 3 = 999)
    another reason for it could be your ram, at 1:1 mode (200mhz) your ram might not like going higher than 220/230 htt as this would sit your ram on DDR 440 - 460 speeds, it all depends on what type of ram you have ofcourse, for example. corsair XMS3200XL chips can hit 250fsb/DDR-500 quite nicely with looser timings on 2T mode. personally i'm running Crucial Ballistix Tracers PC4000 at DDR-500 on 2.5,4,4,8,1T @ 2.8v
    i hope this information helps somewhat.

  • No Post/Black Screen - MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

    Hello,
    Here is my problem, I bought MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum motherboard and got
    - 3500+ cpu
    - CORSAIR XMS 1GB memory
    - PCI-E Leadtek 7800GT video card
    - Aspire 520Watt PSU
    I have put all of it together fine( I have put many systems for friends before) hooked all the power cables, case to mobo stuff, fans. Every time I turn it on fans go on, and lights go on but there is nothing on the screen as if no signal from video card to monitor, plus no error beeps which means cpu and memory is fine right. I have tried to just have memory, video card and nothing else hooked up, same result. I have tried another PSU, same result. Now to add to this, I had same problem with ABIT motherboard and another video card(same) which eliminates bad motherboard and bad video card, since both I have replaced except this time I got MSI mobo and not ABIT. I got same problem with all of it, nothing comes up, no post while fans spin when I turn it on etc... What could be the problem? memory? case? Any ideas?
    Please help me as I spent a lot of $ and time on this and had no signal to monitor so far. Thanks.

    As I said at this point I am trying to boot without any drives plugged in just to get a post and boot up but no go. So basically all my drives are unplugged and I cannot get it to work, I have tried different psu and same problem. I have tried another video card( I RMA this one and got another) it goes and snaps into PCI E slot all good, I have checked that many times. The only thing I can think of is memory at this point but this is brand new XM Corsiar memory and why wouldnt the motherboard beep ( i hoked speaker) if there was any error like that? I just dont get what is going on.
    I have no idea what bios version I have as I have been unable to check it, unless you want me to check the chip version on chipset?

  • Strange power-on (issue?) with K8N Neo4 Platinum

    Hi all, i have a new K8N Neo4 Platinum, non-sli.
    My rig:
    A643000+ winch, no overclock
    2x512MB Corsair XMS DDR400MHz
    2x200GB Seagate mirroring
    Plextor PX-708A
    BenQ DVD Burner
    AN OLD Matrox Mystique 4MB PCI  (new pci-e gfx card later...)
    A powerfull enermax coolergiant 600W ATX 2.0 power supply
    Latest official nforce4 drivers and bios
    It seems to be ok: installed winXP pro sp2 and updates, installed two Seagate in raid-mirroring with the nforce4 controller, installed some progs and utils, firewall is ok, prime95 go without problems for 1 our (more tests later), cpu temp is 34°C and sys temp is 30°C.
    CoreCenter Say:
    Vcore -> 1.41V
    3.3V -> 3.39V
    +5V -> 5.13V
    +12V -> 12.26V
    memory volt -> 2.60V
    FSB -> 200MHz
    PCI-E -> 100MHz
    cpu volt -> By-VID
    Apparently no weird things...
    When i switch-on the Pc, for some seconds(  ̃10 secs) it don't want to boot, optical drives blink repeatly and the screen is blank, like a bad overclock... But the machine isn't overclocked, and the bios is ok, i think. After 10 secs, finally it go and run flawlessly, post and other things are ok. When i reboot in win, the 10secs-issue repeat itself. So this strange thing at the post is normal? Anyone with the same "problem"? For now the rig is ok when it logon in winXP...

    Hi all my friends 
    @JER101 >>> Ehrr i mean post, sorry 
    I had unplugged the optical drives, but the problem persist. When plugged, they blink for some times and after blinking the machine go into post-phase and after it boot in the correct manner. I think the PCI card is the problem, like some of you said... I will buy one pci-e card (obviously), but i hope things are not dangerous for now 
    In the mean time, i have a new problem: emule+firewall=BSOD. I know, there are tons of post about this issue around, but the solution is unclear... Tried to disable DEP, patched WinXP SP2 with latest things from winupdate, but nothing work for me, emule and the firewall generate a crash&reboot. Tried with the Marvell LAN, too, without success.
    Any suggestions? Usefull links? If i uninstall the "NVIDIA Forceware Network Access Manager" it will work without problem with a thirdy part firewall, like sysgate?
    P.S.
    What's the problem with nvidia drivers? C'mon nvidia, solve this damned issue! 

  • LAN issues with the MS-7125 (K8N Neo4 Platinum)

    One place it said: Online Ver. 3.77.000   One place it said:  Online Ver. 1.D0
    The system now displaces a new Bios boot screen and the boot up number is now 5.2.16.
    XP all up to date and LAN drivers up to date.
    I am seeing a saw tooth ping to my WestTel DSL modem. On all of the other PCs here on my LAN the first hop is always 0ms.  After updating the mother board bios and turning on the LAN memory I still get 0ms to 7 or 10 ms.
    You can see more detals at http://webviper.com/LanIssues.htm
    Any Ideas please email me at [email protected]

    Sorry the system did not email me.....
    I did update the BIOS and I used the liveupdate.  I also updated the NVIDA drivers with a link that MSI sent me.  This did help things out a lot but the issue is still there.  I have updated the web page with more info and pics.  I have disabled the Xp firewall and have hooked the pc up to the westtell dsl modem.
    After a reboot things run fine for about three hours...  Then it starts and get worse as time goes on.  It is not a heat issue as my new case has 10 fans and the read out of the CPU is good!   34C

    The system now displaces a new Bios boot screen and the boot up number is now 5.2.16.
    MSI support sent me a link for updated NVIDA drivers and that helped the issue some.  I do not have the link to the drivers as my link to the MSI support is not working now.  Not sure if they have deleted it or if their system is down.

  • Lan issues with the K8N NEO4 Platinum NF4U 939 Motherboard

    New K8N NEO4 Platinum NF4U 939 Motherboard. 
    After three or four hours the connection started to get unstable.  I am a high end gamer and any net slowdown I see and feel.   
    Using my "Ping Plotter" program i saw the issue.  The first hop to my router was going from 0 to 47ms.  On all of the other conputers on this network hop one stays at 0.
    In looking at the over all ping to my game server I noted that when hop 0 went to 47 it messed up all of the other hops and made the connection to my game server unstable.
    The odd thing is I bypassed the onboard nic's and installed a PCI nic and it did the same thing.
    I got with MSI and they had ne updare the NVIDA drivers.  This lowered the swing to 0-17.  I removed the PCI lan and am now back with the onboard nic.  I have replaced the DSL modem, cable and removed the dlink and the issue is still the same.
    This is my first computer with XP and at this point I do not know if this is an XP issue or a driver issue. 
    In installing a pci nic some of the network control is still done on the motherboard so that does not rule out a motherboard/chipset driver issue.
    I have set up a web site that shows screen shots of the ping plotter.  Please take the time to look at them and tell me what you think.

    Hello !!
    Please give more information about your system specs.
    But i would try the following:
    Download the latest nforce and vga drivers from nvidia ( if you are using nv VGA card ? ). Google for "driver cleaner" and download it.
    Restart system and press F8 to enter safe mode. Now uninstall all nvidia drivers(chipset & VGA), and run Driver Cleaner after it. Select the nvidia tabs and remove them....
    Now reboot, when prompted to install new drivers cancel this process. And start nvidia chipset driver setup, install all drivers but do not install the IDE driver from nvidia, you will be prompted for this.In first attempt you should not install nvidia firewall. Restart and install VGA drivers. Now test again your network connection. I hope it helps....

  • Slow Boot problem with New K8N Neo4 Platinum HELP

    Hello,
    I just set up my new rig, the system specs are..
    amd64 3500+
    K8N Neo4 Platinum PCI-E (non SLI)
    2x80gb SATA (insockets 5 and 6) Silicon
    2x512 ram generic
    BFG 6800 Ultra OC
    antec 550 truepower
    The entire install went well.. It zipped through windows98... But when it tired to Boot windows98.. it went really really slow.. The animation bar at the bottom was chugging.. like lagging.. and took well over 10 minutes to fully load..
    I check RAM was not it.. re-connected.. was not it.. new SATA cables.. no idea any help would do.. getting impatient and tired =O must get it up tonight!

    Don't know if you or many people have seen this it's appeared over the last few days K8N Neo4 Platinum  -  NOTE: NVIDIA nForce 3/4 Series board DO NOT support Windows® 98/ME
    There are people running 98 but my own understanding was that 98 could only use a sata drive as a data drive & could not be installed on a sata drive. Where have you installed it ???
    see Win 98SE IDE problem.... Has anyone worked it out yet?
    luck
