K8NGM2-FID MOBO Keeps beeping in Windows

Hi, I've had this mobo/pc for 2 years, and it all of a sudden the mobo pc speaker started beeping while Windows is loaded.
Temperature isn't an issue, I checked several times.
I formated the harddrive and tried to install windows again, and it started beeping while it was installing. I doesn't beep in DOS mode(the first stage of XP install).
I have a EVGA 6800GS video card, 1gig of ram, 200g hard drive, 400watt power supply. The PC has been running great for 2 years till about a month ago when this started happening.
Please help.

Where to buy replacement mobo MSI K8NGM2-FID

Can someone advise me as to where I can get (purchase) a replacement motherboard MS7207? It's been a good machine and really want to keep it as it's served me and my family well for several years, no problems. Now, I need a motherboard for it. Been searching & searching and finding that it's out of stock most places that carry it. Thought maybe here I might get some up to date info.
This will be my first mobo replacement so i'm looking for easy install, correct replacement for my machine.

o.k. I'll try this again.
Can someone recommend a good replacement mobo to my current MIS K8NGM2-FID?
I'm new to working on attempting to fix computers but theres info contained in my unit that I need to retrieve.
As i'm new to this, I have no idea what other parts out there will swap out with my current board. I'm basically looking for the same features, this is an everyday, internet searching, basic computer. Nothing demanding.
Thanks again.

K8NGM2-FID problems: no usb and high cpu usage - HELP!

hi folks,
i've setup K8NGM2-FID inside an htpc with a clean install of mce 2005 (onboard video). For the past couple of days I've noticed a few things:
1) if the pc goes into standby (S3) and then wakes up, sometimes task manager shows a cpu usage of 50% (on the graph) but looking at the list of tasks (for all users) nothing is runing that high - in fact system idle process shows 98% (while the graph is still showing about 50%) and the system is a bit sluggish; reboot fixes this but it's getting really annoying. I've installed the latest AMD x2 driver. Sometimes it goes to 98-99% after waking up but that's been rare.
2) i've been getting a few BSODs lately, actually all started yesterday - 3 of them in a span of about 2 hours after insalling Nero. I'm going to try to figure out what is causing it that (proabably Nero - I hope since that's easy to undo) but what i've noticed is that when the system reboots after the blue screen, none of the USB devices work (i.e. keyboard, mouse, etc.). windows has to load, then I need to go in the back and unplug/replug the usb devices which then 'wakes' them up; this can get really annoying in a typical cramped home theater setup. software restarts seem to be good - ok hardware restarts are the problem. hooking things up to a usb hub has the same effect - i.e. I need to re-plug the hub to get them to work - it just means less things to plug/unplug.
has anyone else noticed this? help save my sanity - this is driving me crazy. since this is an mce setup, it goes into sleep and wakes up several times a day so the high cpu issue when it comes up really gets in the way of using the pc. btw. during high cpu times, no mce related function (record/watch/the shell itself) is running.
here's my setup:
K8NGM2-FID - boots up with 3 short beeps - I think it's 1 beep pause then 2 beeps
2 gigs kingston 3 CAS (2 x 1 GIG kit) pc3200 - boot screen shows it running at 400mhz in dual channel config
X2 3800+ stock fan/heatsink with silver 5 (runs around 35-38 idle - inside a silverstone 'stereo rack' case)
ms usb keyboard/mouse/mce remote
coolmax 550W power
3 140GB WD drives (ata 133 - not sata)
onboard video - framebuffer set to 128megs
latest (as of 2 days ago) nvidia and msi drivers - msi bios is the stock 3.0 (more on that later)
the bios settings are all default as far as I can tell.
pvr-150 tuner card
promise ata 100 card
nec 3500dvd
all running on mce 2005 with rollup 2 and all the updates windows could find
i haven't updated the bios because i've read about other folks having blue screen problems and the suggestion has been to up the voltage for the ram (I guess the default setup from MSI is lower than it should be) but apparently that option is missing from the 3.1 and later bioses? and reading the text file, it wasn't very apparent what the bios 3.1 was fixing other than a few cosmetic bootup texts. I'm planning to up the voltage later today.
anyhow, any suggestions short of throwing the entire pc out the door are welcomed.
thanks!

ok here's what I've found about the high cpu...
using process explorer, hardware interrups is taking all the cpu. i've tried to disable items one by one but nothing is working so far. what does work is if i choose scan for new hardware, cpu goes down to normal. standby and resume and cpu is up again. do the scan and it goes down again - without changing anything.
i've re-installed the graphic board driver, nvidia 430 drivers, sound driver. not sure what else to do. checked my drives and they are all properly master/slave set.
this is really getting crazy...anyone come across this?
i'm a bit hesitant to go to bios 3.1 since i've seen lots of posts about BSOD and i've just gotten rid of that.
thanks
thanks a bunch!

K8NGM2-FID / MS-7207 - Unable to install WinXP

K8NGM2-FID / MS-7207 - Unable to install WinXP
Problem: When attempting to install Windows XP Professional (original version prior to SP2 release), the system either hangs after the second reboot (when attempting to load for the first time) or blue-screens at some point during the initial setup (segment fault.)
System Description:
AMD ATHLON 64 X2 3800+ - MANCHESTER (dual core)
MSI K8NGM2-FID nVIDIA GeForce 6150 CHIPSET
CRUCIAL 2GB (2 x 1024MB) PC3200 400MHZ CL3 184-PIN DDR DIMM(s)
400W ps - Sparkle
no floppy, nothing fancy, no PCI cards, stock system
bios ver: 2.59 (I need winxp installed so I can use the live bios update)
I am not overclocking.
Details:
Tested with three different UltraATA IDE harddrives, capacities from 13.6 - 40 GB.
Tested with two different 80-conductor Ultra ATA cables.
I'm unable to get through a Windows XP installation. I've eliminated the harddrive or cable as the culprit by testing with more than one KG component. I can successfully boot from a Knoppix 4 live CD and the system will run overnight like that.
Does this motherboard not like UltraATA IDE drives? I don't have any SATA drives to test an installation with.
I ordered the Motherboard/CPU/Memory as a pre-tested kit.
UPDATE:
Flash bios to 3.4 using A7207nms.340 from msi web site. Did _not_ solve issue. Also noted that when attempting to load WinXP in Safe Mode the last thing I see on the screen is loading Mup.sys then I get the PAGE_FAULT_IN_NOPAGED_AREA blue screen.

> This error can be caused by a power supply that's too weak.
I researched the power supply prior to the purchase, selecting one that was reported by another person to work with the board. I have spare KG supplies that I can test with though.
> Also, can you try with one dimm? Test your RAM with memtest86 to make sure
> it's okay.
I removed one of the sticks, checked bios to ensure system corrected the RAM count, and then started over with the WinXP installation, which still resulted in PAGE_FAULT_IN_NOPAGED_AREA near completion.
> By the way: don't flash your bios with the LiveUpdate utility. Always
> flash bios in DOS mode, preferably using a CD.
Okay, I will go ahead and update the bios with the DOS utility.
> Also, why do you want to flash bios? If all works when Windows is
> installed, flashing your board can cause problems you don't have now.
Often, with a mobo updating the bios will allow windows to detect mobo resources it was unable to do before. The manufacturer most often ships prior to all the bugs being worked out of the bios. PC builders and vendors recommend using the latest stable bios.
Although there is something to be said for "If it's not broke, don't fix it. However, mine is broke to begin with. If I have to RMA this board, I will not be exchanging it for an identical model, or another MSI board.
> Edit: what other hardware do you use? Videocard, opticals, etc.
Video is onboard. Everything is pretty stock. The keyboard and mouse are on a test bench that gets used for dozens of other systems.
I have to say I long for the simple standardized motherboards of the past. I don't mind setting jumpers but I am not impressed with the inferior quality and overwhelming diversity in today's computer hardware.

Can't get SATA drive to boot - MSI K8NGM2-FID

Mobo is MSI K8NGM2-FID. I've had two IDE drives w/ XP and added a SATA II (WD7500AAKS) recently as a storage drive. Now I'd like to make the SATA the boot drive, but after cloning it from the IDE boot drive it hasn't yet got far in the start up process (cloning with WD Tools, then again with Acronis). I can't tell whether the problem is BIOS or Windows (XP) or ? MSI Update says the BIOS is current and I set the SATA drive as the first HD in the boot order in Advanced BIOS features.
On start up, the computer runs through the BIOS sequence onscreen and then stops somewhere between the end of that and the Windows blue screen coming up, leaving a blank screen except a flashing cursor on the left. When I disconnect the two IDE drives as a test, the same thing happens. Then, with them still disconnected, I try booting from the XP CD and it gets to the point of checking the computer's current configuration and then the screen goes blank indefinitely. I would think it would either show the XP setup menu or give a message that's something is missing.
Does this sound like BIOS or Windows or ? Is there anything else in BIOS that needs changing? I've been told that IDE drive jumpers have no effect on SATA drives. Is that true? Thanks.

Good timing. I'd like to add partitions to my new (cloned) SATA boot drive (C:), but wanted to back up first. A problem and a question come up. First, when I remount the old IDE drive as a second drive D:, even wiped clean, problems ensue. Comodo wants to look for my firewall installation on D: and Acronis won't allow me to clone back, i.e., clone from the new drive to the old.
It's not really clear what you had before or what you have now in terms of HDDs: you had two IDE drives, C: & D: and one SATA as E:??; now you have a SATA boot drive. Do you still have the 40GB IDE drive? Did the clone over to the SATA automatically extend the old 160GB C: partition to 750GB? Sorry but I've no idea how Acronis works. "Wiped clean" is kinda vague - it could mean using the HDD mfr's utility to write zeroes to the entire surface... or just creating a new Extended partition containing a formatted(?) logical volume. If that old IDE drive has a Primary partition it could still be marked as bootable, which you can check with BootitNG... and it's not a good idea to have a Primary partition on a 2nd drive.
Quote
Second, I assume that files are spread over the boot drive, not just grouped in the first 150GB, even if defragged. In reducing the partition size - now 698GB - how does BootitNG know to make sure everything ends up in the first partition? I read about this somewhere but don't see any mention in BootITNG.
Again, I don't know how you got to the situation of a 698GB partition on the SATA boot drive - it would have been better to clone to the same sized C: partition as the old 160GB drive and then use a tool like BootitNG to extend it to whatever size you want... then add new partitions.
No partition management software can guarantee a partition shrink will work - they can only shrink out unallocated space. In that respect Windows XP Defrag is unreliable at both leaving unallocated space at the end of a partition AND at accurately reporting what is used and what is not. In such a situation, without a better, more accurate, defragger I generally run defrag several times, with reboots in between until it "looks" like it's safe to shrink and do the shrink in steps, with checks and defrags again, in between. Yes, it's a PITA.

K8NGM2-FID warm reboot/reset problems

Hi everybody:
The system:
MSI K8NGM2-FID Bios V 3.4
RAM - G.SKILL 2GB F1-3200PHU2
Processor Athlon X2 3800+
Drive WD2500YD 250GB 7200 RPM SATA150
DVD R/W Pioneer DVR-111D
DVD-R ASUS DVD-E616AG
Case Antec Sonata II w/ Antec 450 W PSU 3.3 V/32A 12V1/15A 12V2/17A
OS WinXP SP2 w/auto update set
The Problem:
When the system runs for more than 1-2 minutes and I do a restart under Windows OR hit the reset button it hangs with the HDD light on steady and no video output.
If I try a warm restart or reset button push immediately (10-30 seconds) after windows comes up the system restarts OK.
When the system is 'hung' repeated hits (short or 5-10 seconds) on the Reset button have no effect besides causing the DVD lights to blink (i.e., they seem to be getting a reset signal) but HDD light is still steady.
If I power the system down and restart it reboots OK - this means power down from the 'hung' state OR power down from Windows via 'Start' --> 'Turn off computer' or momentary push of power switch.
Looking at the Windows system log I see that warm boots done before many system processes load are successful, those afterwards are not. I have tried disabling these processes (i.e., App layer gateway, SSDP discovery, Norton protected storage) w/o any change in behavior.
This looks like a hardware problem to me, but I want to be sure it's one before I R&R the mobo w/ a spare.
Has anybody else seen this problem?
Thanks,
ss

Update:
It was the mobo - R&R w/new one: warm boot/reset problem gone. Plugged in drives w/o doing any software reinstall and unit came right up (and down and up and down....).
This is the second K8NGM2-FID that has gone south on me since March.
Both have been Ver 2.0 builds; the other one has a problem with onboard video but continues to function with an add-in video card (yah, it's better video too, but that's not the point). The warm boot problem described in the original post isn't a show stopper, either, but I can't use these boards in a system for sale (unless I sell it to my brother-in-law).
I have built eight systems since March using the K8NGM2-FID. Six were for customers and are still under my personal six month no-questions-asked warranty (the extended 12 month lots-of-questions-asked starts after six months). I have had to eat two at this point and am not too happy with the board. Since MSI no longer makes this board I am having to use another vendor's mATX-6150 unit, perhaps for the better, I don't know.
IMHO MSI is the best board maker in the consumer/office sector. I hope they can stay that way.

K8NGM2-FID - Dead board? :(

K, I´m building a new system as follows:
Athlon 64 3200 (Venice core, stock heatsink and fan)
K8NGM2-FID
2 Geil Ultra-X 512mb memory
NEC 3540 DVD burner
Samsumg 80gb IDE HD
Windows XP SP2
I was upgranding from a socket A mobo, so I don´t have a PCI-e vid card. The processor was out of the box as well, so I can´t guarantee the problem is not with it, but everything points to the mobo. The mobo came with the 3.13 bios, but it shows a threatning "enginering sample" during post. So, I´ve assembled the system and put my old HD on it and turn the thing on, resulting in random freezes during boot up or just after entering Windows. There wasn´t even time to load the driver´s cd on it. Just to test it, I´ve copied everything out of my drive, formated it and tried to reinstall windows. Tried 6 times, none worked (the system frozed at random times). Used another HD, with the same result. Changed IDE cables. Still, nothing. Decided to flash the bios. Copied the 3.20 bios to the HD, used a MS-DOS boot disk and tried to flash it, resulting in a messenge of "unknown chipset vendor - error - chipset not supported" or something close to that.
So, I take the board came dead to me. Is there anything else I might be missing?
If this board came dead, I´m screwed. A friend of my in the US bought it in the US (Newegg) and shipped to me (I live in Brazil) and will probably cost more to RMA than to buy a new one :(
Anyone know if MSI can help me with that?

It probably costs as much as a new mobo to RMA it back to the US, and then back in here to Brazil (probably will need to pay Customs taxes again...). I just lost over $100 bucks (mobo+shipping) because MSI is throwing "engineering samples" at vendors. Good policy, btw!

K8NGM2-FID: bad PCI-e x16 slot on motherboard?

Computer boots fine, but I do no get any video output when booting from a PCI-e graphics card. I've tried 2 eVGA GeForce 7600GS cards and 1 PNY 7300GT and they all have the same problem. Components and detailed description are below. I assume my motherboard's PCI-e slot is bad, but don't want to RMA it unless I have to (don't want to be without it for 2-3 weeks).

Detailed Description:
eVGA 7600GS: Before purchasing the PCI-e video card I was using the onboard GeForce 6150 graphics via DVI. I went into the BIOS and selected [PCI Express] as the Primary Graphics Adapter and [Disable OnChip VGA if have PCIe VGA]. I then installed the video card and hooked it up to the monitor via DVI. The computer booted fine, but I got no video feed from the video card. I reseated the card and restarted a few more times but still got no picture. I hooked the DVI cable back up to the onboard graphics and got a normal video feed. The heatsink on the video card was warm so I know it’s getting power. I gave up for awhile and shut down the computer. Awhile later I booted the computer back up and I didn't get any video from the onboard graphics. So I plugged the DVI cable back into the video card and restarted, and I got a video feed! The add new hardware wizard appeared and installed. I restarted the computer later that night, and once again I got no video feed via the video card. I hooked the DVI cable back to the onboard graphics and I got a video feed. I have not been able to get any video feed from the video card ever since.
2nd eVGA 7600GS: I returned the video card to the store and got an identical replacement. I have not been able to get any video feed on this video card either. I have tried enabling [Both exist and OnChip VGA by frame buffer select] in the BIOS and that didn't help. I hooked up a monitor via DVI to the onboard graphics and a monitor via VGA to the video card (and vice-versa), and only the onboard graphics displayed anything. I unhooked nearly all components - USB devices, PCI cards, additional Hard Drives etc. and still could not get a video output from the card. I have reseated the card many times. It’s almost like the motherboard is not detecting that a PCI Express video card is installed. The Device Manager only shows the GeForce 6150 Display Adapter. eVGA suggests a 400 Watt Power Supply, and I only have a 380 Watt PSU.
PNY 7300GT: Installed and went into the BIOS, made sure everything was correct and rebooted. I got a video feed from the card, but when windows detected new hardware, the computer froze so I had to restart. I have not been able to get video output from the card ever since. Card only requires a 300W power supply with 12V rating of 20A or more.
I've been using this motherboard for about 8 months without any problems until I tried installing a PCI-e video card. So, do you think it's my motherboard or something else?

Try this:
Go into BIOS to 'Advanced Chipset Features' and in:
'Primary Graphics Adapter' -> PCI Express
'OnChip and PCIe VGA Selection' -> Disable OnChip VGA if have PCIe VGA
'OnChip VGA Frame Buffer Size' -> Disable
'OnChip VGA Trap' -> Disable
See if it helps...
Be well....
Yes, I've tried all that except setting the OnChip VGA Frame Buffer Size to Disable. I just tried that and I couldn't get a video feed via the PCI-e VGA or the onboard graphics, so I had to reset the CMOS.

K8NGM2-FID onboard video won't go to DVI in XP

System is:

HDD Seagate ST316012A Barracuda 7200.9 160 GB
OS WinXP SP2 auto updated
This system has run 24/7 for about 5 months using onboard video driving a Samsung SyncMaster 940t thru the onboard DVI port.
I am using the DVI (digital) onboard video output to drive my monitor. Recently I have experienced blank screens when waking up from monitor power down (20 minute w/o activity - no screensaver, just auto power down). When I connect a VGA (analog) cable from the onboard connector to the monitor's analog input the video is there but not present on DVI (digital) output of board. Otherwise the machine is still completely functional, just no DVI video output.
Rebooting, the video signal is present on BOTH connectors (DVI and VGA) up to the point when Windows loads the desktop (i.e., past Windows boot screens), then it switches to VGA ONLY.
If I power down and wait 3-4 hours, the DVI will continue to work after Windows loads the desktop, then will not return after the monitor powers down due to inactivity (20 minutes, set in properties - screen saver) OR a warm reboot OR a power cycle. Switching to the VGA (analog) output, the video is still there and system is running as before, but with analog video only, no DVI (digital). This occurs with two other monitors that have dual inputs (HP and Viewsonic).
Video drivers are from MSI and are the current Version 8205 - (8.2.0.5 on device manager screen) but BIOS is 3.4. BIOS update 3.4->3.5->3.6 notes do not mention any DVI issues so I am hesitant to flash to 3.6 (current version) as I do not think it will fix the problem.
Bringing up nVidia Nview desktop manager, it 'sees' the monitor but there is no mention of DVI or VGA interface or way to switch between them. If I hook up a TV to the Svideo output it 'sees' that as well as the monitor and I can switch between them.
Does anyone know of a way to explicitly direct signal to either of the onboard video connectors (DVI and VGA) connector on this board (K8NGM2-FID)?
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
ss

I fixed the system.
However, I still don't know the root cause of the original problem.
The missing piece of the fix was doing an uninstall of the video device drivers using the Control Panel 'Add or Remove Programs' function. Prior to that I was just updating things using either the package's native installers or the Device Manager Update Driver function.
After the uninstall I did a clean install of the MSI drivers off a CD and now have selectable digital and/or analog displays in Windows XP. Also, the nvidia drivers DO work, provided they are installed on a 'clean' suystem (thanks, Stu). Installing either driver set as an update results in unstable output - sometimes digital, sometimes analog.
Moral of the story: clean up toothpaste before squeezing the tube again.

Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do?

This is really frustrating. Every time i try to sync my 4th gen ipod touch itunes won't recognise it and the ipod keeps beeping - is there anything I can do? I've tried using different cables. Itunes works fine with my family members ipod's & iphones...

The best way to manage your music when you have multiple iPods is to change the settings under "Options" so that you manually manage your music instead of it doing an automatic synch each time you connect. To add only the songs you want, highlight them and then "click and drag" them to your iPod. This way none of your daughter's music gets added and you're not in danger of deleting your playlist as well. It will show you how many songs you've added and you can then click on your iPod to verify. To delete her songs off your iPod now, click on the music tab under your iPod so show everything you have stored. Find those songs you want to delete, click on them to highlight then go up to the Edit window and click delete. This will erase them off your iPod but be careful when you highlight. I did that and then had to reload a cd on my boyfriend's, lol. hope this helps

BlackBerry keeps beeping all time - Only beeps when the connection with carrier is active.

Sirs,
I have a Curve 8900 with the 4.6.1.133 (platform 4.2.0.85).
This device keeps beeping every 10 seconds, I have tried remove the battery when the BB was on, waiting for 1 minute, put it again.
I have looked all configurations.
I don´t have any idea and want to throw it in the window.
Any ideas? Hints?
NEW INFORMATION. The device only keeps beeping if the wireless connection with the carrier is active. If it´s disabled the beeps stops. I´m using Claro in Brazil.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have found the solution. This is a bug beetween a software in the SIM Card from the network operator and the BlackBerry device. It´s already solved. I had to follow some steps to enable and disable a specific feature of the network operator and wait for a dialog box to confirm my operation.
The beeps comes with the dialog box, but the dialog box only apears if you are in a specific screen of the blackberry. If you are in the home screen, it will not appear and you only hears the beep.

Hello, Aspire V3-571G-6407 keeps beeping!

Hello, I own an Aspire V3-571G-6407 which recently updated itself to Windows 8.1.Last night it suddenly started beeping, as it charges itself on and off. The level of the battery is 100% but I cannot keep the laptop plugged in anymore at this level, as it keeps beeping with the screen getting slightly darker and then beeping with the screen getting bright again every 10-15 seconds. I never had this issue before. I spoke to a Windows techical support but they claim this is not a Windows issue but a manufacturer's problem. I removed the battery and plugged the laptop cord in and it works just fine. Also, once the battery is at 100%, and I unplug the cord with the battery plugged in, the beeping stops but, of course that is because the power cord is unplugged. What causes this annoying beeping and will I be able to use my laptop with the power cord plugged in even if the battery level is at 100%? (I am currently charging my laptop and it is at 97% with no beeping. The beeping only starts at 100%.)

Yes, it will delete everything. You should save all your files to a USB drive. Are you at the latest bios?Windows search Systen Information/ Bios Version/Date? Newest UEFI for Windows 8 BIOSAcerBIOS - UEFI for Windows 8 (Not for Upgrades)

Hi,
Does anyone know if the Zalman 7700-Cu (120mm) heatsink & fan will fit K8NGM2-FID motherboard, this is an especially BIG HSF and is known to be in-compatible with cetain mobo's.
TIA
ManC

ManC,
While it is a large cooler, the design gives you a very goof chance of getting it to fit most Mobos:
When you look at the compatibility list:
CNPS7700 Compatible Socket 754/939/940 Motherboard List
It is not on the list, but it is not on the incompatible list either.
When you look at the Socket 939 on the Mobo, it looks like there is a very good chance it will fit:
Take Care,
Richard

K8NGM2-FID USB Headers Question

It seems as if the pins on the USB headers on the K8NGM2-FID don't correspond to the order of the wires in the front panel connectors on my Antec case. The Antec manual claims that the order of the wires is "standard". Am I in danger of frying the motherboard if I connect the wrong wires to the wrong pins? Is there a solution other than getting a different cable? Thanks in advance for your help...

Yes you may damage the motherboard and also the USB device that you connect. I'm talking from experience. USB connections are standard. Is your USB cable plugged or are there individual wires.
It's plugged, and the wires/holes are labeled using different terms than those used in the MSI manual. I'm at work and the mobo is at home, so I can't provide an exact cite right now.

Mac keeps beeping !!

my mac keeps beeping while pressing keys - basically when they are unnecessary to press- does anyone have any idea ?

If you press a key within certain contexts, your Mac will beep to alert you to the fact that what you're doing is not an allowable action. For example, in Safari, choose About Safari. A small window will open. As long as it is open, pressing keys will cause a beep. Is that the sort of thing you're seeing? If so, the solution is simple: quit pressing keys!
If it is beeping like this at a time when you think it should be accepting your keypresses, you're going to have to be more specific about what you're seeing.
