K8N NEO4 platinum hangs up on restart but only 40% of the time

on booting up the pc it will hang up while windows is loading. the screen is a black one with the windows logo and the status bar moving from left to right. the screen will flicker a few times about half way into this screen. it will lockup at this point about 40% of the time and the rest it will load all the way to the desktop. when it makes it to the desktop it runs fine with no lockups. i have been through tech support with xfx(video card)thinking it could be the video drivers causing the problem, we had no luck. i have all windows updates,updated drivers for everything, amd patches, and bios. has anyone seen this before?
i have replaced the motherboard and the video card. i have run memtest from start to finish 4 times with no errors. i have run hot cpu tester pro 4 with no errors and seagate system tools with no errors aswell.i have changed memeory slots removed floppy and all usb devices. i am running a raid0 with 2 seagate 250gig sata2 drives on nvida raid. any ideas?

If you do a full drive image of your RAID you won't have to worry about redoing anything.
My fear here is that a firmware update sometimes changes the name of the drive. Your RAID controller might think those are 2 new drives and it's old 2 RAID drive is missing. So if you unplug them 1 at a time you could still lost the array if it thinks they are 2 new drives. I doubt this being the case but it is possible. I'm just telling you worse case because I don't want to be the cause of someones data loss.
I take it you don't have Ghost software, or another drive imaging program? That is the safest if you don't want to lose anything. Might wait to see if someone else has an enlightening post. I do alot of stuff with hard drives but this exact situation is unique so I am giving you the safest route with imaging the drive. What you suggest may work but it may not. At the very least do you remember the stripe size you were using? default?

MSI k8n neo4 platinum hangs in post screen with saitek eclipse keyboard

I've had my board for almost a year now, with no problems, well almost. I had a problem with Raid 0 but we won't go there now. I just purchased a Saitek Eclipse illuminated keyboard to replace my old Microsoft Internet pro. The Microsoft board is PS2 and the Eclipse is USB. I noticed that when I removed the Microsoft keyboard and plugged in the eclipse that when I rebooted, it took almost 4 minutes for the windows splash screen to start. With the PS2 board plugged in my boot time was less than 2 minutes. I've looked at just about everything, and this includes Saitek support who are at a total loss on this problem to. So I went to google and low and behold it lead me to here. I've read a lot of post about keyboard problems,but they tended to be ps2 related. This is a USB issue. The old keyboard still gets my system up in no time flat. Can anybody shed some light on this issue cause it's driving me crazy!!!! I still have my microsoft optical mouse hooked up until my Logitech G5 gets here, in a couple of days. I have not had any other isuues with USB connections, that includes a Nostromo game pad, printer , joystick and card reader.

Welll I'm screwed now. I tried all of the things you guys recommended, everything was cool. I decided to check my bios version through live update. I had 1.50 and live update had 1.90 ready to go, so I proceeded to flash the bios using the windows method. This included making a recovery disk. Well it flashed ok, everything seemed to go well up to the point where it said to restart the system. This is were it goes bad. Upon reboot my screen was black, not even tinted slightly and my system never came back. I can't even get it to eat the recovery floppy. I have Corsair twinx memory with the fancy LEDS and they just stay on the first two lights. I can't even get the Cd drive to take the mobo disk. It's late and I'm titally bumed, I knwo I won't get to sleep tonight....... I know I have to shitcan this mobo now and totally restart all over...............thanks for the replies on the lousy keyboard problem , at this point I wish I never even bought it.
Sleepless in Vermont tonight

Xorg hangs and is unkillable, but only when moving the mouse

Hello everyone!
I have a special problem related to Xorg, my graphics card and my mouse, as it seems.
My Setup
I have the following setup:
Archlinux 3.6.2-1-ARCH i686 (everything should be pretty much up-to-date)
Motherboard: Abit BH6 (quite old though)
2 Video Adapters: One 3Dfx Voodoo 3 (rev 01), PCI at 0:f:0 and an ATI Rage 128, AGP at 1:0:0
Standard Microsoft PS/2 Mouse (has been working fine ever since I bought it around 2001!)
Edit: (forgot to mention)
My BIOS is set up to use the AGP Card to Boot, VGA BIOS Caching, Shadowing and Video RAM Shadowing are disabled alltogether.
End Edit
I installed Xorg as described in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg. (Please find the contents of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-configuration.conf below)

How to reproduce the problem
I initially had twm installed but now I have gdm, both of which (seem to) show the exact same behavior, when doing the following:
Start Xorg using xinit (or even startx, doesn't make a difference)
Start your dm, for example:
gdm dbus-launch gnome-control-center
Move your mouse around a bit, try to login, anything will do, and wait for it to hang up - it never takes longer than a Minute
After that, killing X using signal 15 or 9 won't work, I have to restart my computer to get another try.
The last lines of dmesg are:

I added

to my config, and it didn't seem to make a difference. Do those

X2 3800+ (E6) support for the K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI

Hi everyone:
I have decided to purchase the K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI (MS-7100-020) and I ready placed the order. However, I wonder if it supports the AMD X2 3800+ (E6 Version) CPU? The reason I asked the question because I found the following table from the Taiwan MSI web site which shows that X2 3800+ E6 is undertesting.
http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=641&kind=1
Thank you for any replies.

Mine worked, ran for 2 weeks already at stock, tried & ran to 2.2GHz on stock HSF with no problem.
Using X2 3800+ E6, MSI K8N PLI Platinum mobo, 3.7 bios & Inno3D 7800GTX single latest nvidia 78 drivers, 2x512MB DDR400 CL2.5 Kingston Ram, Hitachi T7K250 Sata 250GB HDD, NEC ND-3530A Benq 1640, , Silverstone Zeus 650W PSU
At first I have this concern too, but tried it anyway.
See my screenshots for your info.

K8N Neo4 Platinum (MS-7125) Mic Jack question

I have a microphone i would like to use with my K8N Neo4 Platinum (MS-7125) and I was just wondering if the mic jack was powered or not because the microphone will not work.

hey, i tired that before did'nt work but now it did. But there still is a problem with the mic, the recorded volume is way too low, even with mic boost on.

Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480W for K8N NEO4 Platinum

after much debacle of what psu to propel my MSI K8N NEO4 Platinum (Non SLI model) it has become clear to me that the only real choice i have within my reach is the thermaltake silentpurepower 480w, this is simply the best power supply i can get down here (Colombia, South America) and the most expensive one too.
i have done my fair share of research on the matter and have found a number of people using this power supply to power systems based on the K8N NEO4 Platinum, even some have been bold enough to use the SLI version of the board with this power supply.
so i guess its go for broke time on the matter, any feedback ?

Quote from: Stick on 26-January-06, 23:13:33
i have the buterfly model http://www.thermaltakeusa.com/2005/purepower/W001920.htm
it has a 20 pin connector and a 20 to 24 pin convertor, so you can plug it in both ways
from what ive seen its the same psu with different accesories, but its the same psu, so i guess this is it. Im gonna connect the 20pin to the 24 connector in the motherboard as those 20 to 24 adapters dont seen to generate any kind of trust in me, i guess as long as i keep my present setup and i dont overclock everything should run just fine.
many thanks...

RMA'ed K8N Neo4 Platinum board, no sound on the new board's output

Hi Folks,
I just got back the replacement for the K8N Neo4 Platinum boad I sent in a month ago. The good news -- my mirrored RAID array came back up and my WinXP/SP2 setup looks fine. The bad news -- my front speaker output doesn't put out any sound. My Amplified 2.1 speaker set was plugged into my older machine and working fine, and I just swapped the speaker cable into the green output plug on my MB, and no sounds comes out. Sounds was working on the previous MB which I sent in for RMA, so the software on my HDD's should have been set correctly to generate sounds on the new MB.
First, any suggestions on how to get the sound outputs working? Second, any pointers on how to diagnose what's going on? Should I be seeing "Realtek '97" (or something like that) for the playback and recording devices, for instance?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Clark

Couple of things come to mind. Power on the system and head on' over to the bios. Ensure the audio onboard is actually turned on...or if the board they sent you had it disabled.
Check the Device manager for any "!" in yellow next to anything in the audio dept. (windows control panel/system/hardware...yadda yadda....) If the onboard audio is turned 'on' and windows is seeing it? You'll have a heading for AC '97 listed, and also under sound effects options in the control panel it should be listed. If it's listed as working 'ok'? I seem to remember a set of jumpers on the motherboard for audio output. In the manual it's listing as follows:
"If you don't want to connect the front audio header, pins 5&6, 9&10 have to be jumpered in order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports. Otherwise the line-out connector on the back panel will not function" That's out of my manual regarding JAUD1 connector. And I have the Neo4 K8N board.
Best of luck!

K8N Neo4 Platinum Bug: Automatic restart after shutdown ?!

Hi,
I have the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum Motherboard, PCB 1, MS-7125, the latest BIOS (1.D).
I have cleared my CMOS, etc.
The problem is that after a shutdown in WinXP (SP2) the PC restarts after a few seconds.
When disabling the IOAPIC in the BIOS WinXP doesn't start anymore. Setting the MPS Table Version from 1.4 to 1.1 doesn't help.
There are no WakeUp options enabled.
What's wrong with that ?
greets
Ingo

Check out this message.. and also the link in it, aparently this is not a uncommon issue (and it has nothing to do with Wake on features in the BIOS at times) it is a registry setting in windows of all things!?! my system does this (but it is fubared in other ways ATM) but i plan on fixing this once i get my system back in working order.

How are some guys running an Athlon 3800+ X2 chip on the K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI?

I see many people running an AMD Athlon 64 3800+ X2 Dual Core proccessor on a K8N Neo4 Platinum SLI board, but mine dosen't work. I don't get any signal to my monitor (don't know if this is the cause). MSI says the 3800+X2 dosen't support the SLI board, but many people got it to work. Any one know how?

Mine working fine, but on cold boot, sometime it hang on me. I have changed 3 PSU to get it stable, from Coolermaster 450W, Be Quiet 520W to Silverstone 650W, ambient 25C, CPU 30C, Proc 37C.
Bios 3.7 the one they are still testing.
Have you check you PSU rails volt., disable CnQ,....
So far stable, multiple programs at once with no significant drop in responseness & speed, Half Life 2, P2P downloading x2, IE x 3, encode DVD at the same time.

BSOD's on my x64 K8N Neo4 Platinum based PC, Any ideas what's wrong? Help!

Over the past few month I've been getting BSOD's. There is no real pattern to their occurence and it's not something which is constantly happening (It happened around 5 times in the past 2 months), but I've really grown to hate them. You see, after getting one what has happened in the past is that when I go to restart my pc after getting a BSOD, I find I need to re-install my whole OS! What happens is that after booting (which oddly enough doesn't work well after a BSOD, It freezes on the boot screen and I need to restart several times), a black screen appears telling me that certain files in the C:Windows\ direcotory are corrupt or missing.
So the real problem is that the BSOD's cause me to re-install my whole OS. One will happen, then it will be ok, I turn the system on, log into windows, then it might happen again, after which I'll need to re-install. The files that go missing are always different too, and when I run scan-disk (after plugging in my main drive into another computer) it finds corrupt files and deletes them.
At first I thought it was Azureus (p2p client) which was causing the problems because it seemed to happen when I was runing that. I stopped using it, and the BSOD's still occured...sometimes randomly when browsing...etc. I figured that since files got deleted and corrpupted, it must be a problem withthe Hard Drive....So I bought a new one, and I've still had the BSOD error (although files haven't been deleted yet).
So yeah, I really need to solve this problem as it is taking away from my productivity and causing me to re-install far too often. I will post the BSOD info as well as my system info below (and a screen shot):

I looked that up on the net, and it seems the first part seems to indicate, or at least COULD indicate overheating. I checked CPU and System temps and they seem acceptable.
I am running Windows XP x64 Edition with the following hardware (please note that all of the hardware drivers I'm using are written for x64, MSI is so good:)). I have had this PC before it started having these problems, it could be related to using x64 I guess, but the error doesn't show that does it?

My OS and drivers are fully updated. As for my BIOS I've been running the version I'm using now forquite some time and I believe it is version 1.5. Also in another bad turn of events, my northbridge fan seems to be on its way out of this world (this just happned so I don't think its related to the BSOD). I haven't been able to find a replacement, and since its not spinning very fast, and sometimes stops...It's causing the heatsink to get quite hot. I need to get a new one, and I can't find them anywhere...I wonder if thats covered under warranty... I looked into getting a different heatsink, but my Graphics card is so colse to this heatsink, that theres no room for a bigger one at all.
Do you think this problem is motherboard related, I cannot understand what the technical info the BSOD gives me means, can anybody understand it? I don't think its my HD's, or Ram, or CPU...could it be a motherboard problem? And if so, its under 1 year old, can I get an RMA?
Thanks for the help in advance.

At one time I had a weak 450w psu that had only 18a on the 12v rail. When I overclocked my cpu and gpu, I was getting bsod's every once in a while and couldnt figure it out until I read a similar post like yours on this forum. I decided to upgrade my psu and havent had that problem since.
Power supplies can be deceiving. I now have a 480w psu but its has 30a on the 12v rail. So what we need to know is the ratings of your psu (see my sig) just to see if your psu is the culprit. Just my 2 cents.

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....

K8N Neo4 platinum edition v1 (bios W7125NMS V1.6 062305) -- after POST stucked

hi i'm runningan athlon 3000+ in K8N Neo4 platinum edition v1 (bios W7125NMS V1.6 062305) and i have a very like problem:
today i tried to install freebsd(install started fine, nothing went wrong, i repartioned my hdd and the installer started),
for some reason i had to abort the installation process. since then i can not boot in from any device(cd,usb the hdd is in a
half way to bsd install state so it's not an option atm).
the post screen comes up and i can interact with it in a way(i can press tab and it drops me
to the detailed post screen,ctrl-alt-del also works i can restart with it), but i neither can enter to the BIOS setup /DEL/ nor the boot menu /F11/.
i've tried reseting bios settings by flushing cmos(removed the battery,pressed SW1. something must happened because the post now checks for sata devices
and the graphical screen/that one u can bypass by pressing TAB/ was not presented before).
it also detects my hdd and my cd-rom too. but still nothing happens after the POST.
others said updating my bios would help. but still there is no option to boot from.
if i am doing wrong something please let me know,
thank you for your help
Andrew

the solution:
disable ide1/slave when the broken hdd is not connected and bios accessible; poweroff; reconnect the broken hdd to the PC;poweron; boot from a linux livecd; gpart/fdisk/something to repair the broken hdd;be happy life is nice
the trick was that bios and post is not messing with the broken hdd(while it was blocked in the bios)
so i could boot with a live cd when my hdd was connected to the PC.
since linux trixx out bios i was abel to interact with the post_killer_hdd (even it was blocked in the bios).
i hope somebody will be able to use it one day if something is not understandable drop me a PM.
problem solved im installing the os to the hdd,topic is SOLVED.
maybe the other guy who has some similar issues with his config/hdd could use this post too.
regards,
