K8T Neo crashes pc with 3d card's driver

I recently bought a pc containing a K8T Neo motherboard with an Athlon 64 3200+ cpu and 2x512mb 3200 DDR400 Ram.  It came with a standard VGA driver installed, so I went into safe mode (it has Win98 SE installed), removed the standard driver, restarted and installed the driver for my Geforce4 Ti4200.  But when I restarted my pc again, I got all sorts of problems : windows protection errors, blue screens, the pc just freezing (sometimes with all sorts of colours on the screen) or messages that there isn't enough memory available to run Windows .
I tried using both the AOpen driver and the Nvidia Detonator one (45.23), but both had the same result.  I also tried this with a Geforce2 MX card, but with no change either.  I also removed my soundcard and am using the onboard sound and networking.  I installed the latest Via 4-in-1 drivers and all Win98 SE updates I could find.
I already formatted my hard drive twice and everything installs perfectly until I try using the card's driver.
It's possible to install a Super VGA card and Super VGA 1024x768 monitor driver, but whenever I try to switch to more than 16 colors and restart, I get a message that the adapter type is incorrect or the settings don't work with my hardware, and it gets set back to 16x640x480.
Is there a BIOS setting I should change?  Or maybe there is a problem with a Via chipset combined with Nvidia cards?
And why does the system find a "PCI VGA compatible adapter" when I have an AGP card installed?
That's the third day now that I'm doing nothing but restarting and seeing error messages.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
(sorry for the long post)

I installed the 4-in-1 drivers, then my card's drivers, after which ... my whole C: drive became corrupt and I had to format and re-install Win98SE.
During this install I got a BSOD but Windows seemed to install correctly anyway.
I did the above step again (installing the Aopen Ti4200 drivers and software) and got a black screen after restarting and 2 cursors, blinking randomly.
Do you want me to tell you voltage values from my BIOS?
And if so, where can I find these?
I got a 350W power supply which came with my Aopen A600A case btw.
Are you suggesting my card/pc isn't receiving enough power to work at full blast?
I indeed get most of the problems resulting from too little voltages as mentioned in the link you gave me.
And if by a "sirene" they mean a constant beeping sound, then yeah it's most probably a voltage problem.
[edit]
Here are my 350W power supply voltage settings :
+3.3v  28A
+5V  30A
+12V  16A
+5Vsb  2A
-5V  0.3A
-12V  0.8A
(+3.3V & +5V = 220W Max)
And in my BIOS they fluctuate as follows :
Vcore  1.552V
+5V  5.168V
+12V  11.923V
-12V  -12.071V
-5V  -5.077V
Battery 3.520V
+5V SB  4.993V

  • [Athlon64] MSI K8T NEO-V : incompatibility with ATI RADEON 9800 PRO

    Hi,
    I read all the subjets on this forum about Radeon problems with MSI K8T NEO motherboard.  Most of the peple can't use their graphic card in all situations.
    My PC is :
    -MSI K8T NEO-V
    -AMD-64 3200
    -Power : 400W
    -ATI RADEON 9800 PRO
    -1 Go DDRAM (2x512 in single channel)
    -Hercules Digifires 7.1
    I bought a new MSI K8T NEO-V with AMD 64.
    The problem is that I can't use the computer in the games with AGP 8X even if I try to enable-disable all the options possibles in BIOS and Windows (fast write ...) : The computer freeze (screen disapear as if there was no video signal), reboot or return to Windows disabling the accelerated mode.
    But in AGP 4X, all the game run without problem with all setups of BIOS !!!
    I tried all the drivers (the new and the old drivers).  Even if all are updated, it freeze.
    There are no BIOS update for my motherboard. I saw that some people had BIOS update for compatibility with some Radeon cards ...
    So, I don't know how to repair the problem because AGP 8X is AGP 8X and not 4X, and my Radeon run fine on other computer, and nothing say that Radeon 9800 pro don't run on this motherboard.
    Does someone have the solution to make it work ? Does a new BIOS or driver update exist somewhere for Radeon cards ?

    What Bas said about 30+ amps on the 12v rail does have merit. Even if you don't use it now there may come a time when you want to upgrade the system and certainly you won't want to buy yet another PSU then. A High end vid card now takes almost as much as the CPU to operate. Now days the 12v rail is the most important. Past systems regulated everything off the 5v railk and 12v was used mostly for powering drive motors. Now though the MB's use the 12v line to regulate all the voltages for the CPU, Chipset and other features as does the Vid cards. 3.3 volt lines are used for memory so we hardly use any 5v nowdays.
    You have an older viod card and that does not eat much 12v but if you upgrade the most likely peice will be the vid card. You could go through this whole thing all over again if you are not careful to plan for that now with a new PSU purchase.
    If the computer shop gives you a bunch of bull about power needs havbe them stop by the forum and we can help set them straight on this. There is more than enough data from MSI and historical data here that suggests that 16a on the 12v rail is certainly not enough. Hey I am not trying to sell you anything. I am just trying to help you get it right. The computer shop is the one trying to sell you something we just feel they are selling the wrong junk.

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R - Which slot sound card?.

    Hi all,
    I have a MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R and was wondering which slot to put my sound card in?.
    At the mo it's in pci slot 4 i only have 3/4and 5 availible becuase of my arctic cooler on my rad 9800 pro.
    The sound card is on IRQ 19 sharing with the IEE1394 host controller, i dont use firewire so could i disable it in the bios?.
    Cheers all.

    Hi
    Should not make any differance, don't worry about the IRQ, let the comp sort it out, it knows whats where, better than humans do.
    Any probs, disable the onboard sound. maybe change PCI slot, but there should not be.
    cheers

  • Crashing issue with dual cards not in SLI mode

    Running CS6 on a HPZ820 with 64GB RAM and TWO Nividia Quadro4000s... having some crashing issues - DisplaySurface.dll error. I am NOT running cards in SLI mode. Any ideas? I have some NewBlueFX plug-ins that I disabled the GPU - that helped. But now it started crashing again with same error. System was built up to specs.
    Any advice?

    Does it crash if you remove one of the cards?

  • Will K8T Neo-F Boot with 90nm?

    K8T Neo-F Skt 939 is comin in the mail as well as a 90nm 3200+.
    Theres no way it will have the new BIOS for the 90nm cpus.. So my question is, will it even bootup so I can then flash the BIOS? Or do I need a new BIOS chip.

    Bios upgrades are only needed when there are changes in the CPU architecture.
    Allthough this is a big change, it will work, cus the changes in the CPU aren't that significant.
    What if AMD made a new CPU which required a bios flash first. Then no1 would be able to use the CPU, or they would signifacantly shrink there market.
    If the CPU is listed here, u will get it to work. If not something is worng and post again:

  • K8T Neo FIS2R wont detect gfx card

    Hi, im back again with a brand spankin new mobo (old one was faulty).
    The problem this time is that it wont detect the gfx card. I've tried the Radeon 9800 and my GF4800Ti. Both work in my old reliable PC, but not in the one I'm building.
    This means that when i turn on the comp, my screen wont acknowledge theres a signal coming to it.
    Also a problem wih the power switch. The power switch turns it on, but wont turn it off :/.
    Any troubleshooting tips anyone can give me? :(

    Ok, take the RAM out and try to boot with the just the MB and CPU right after you have reset the CMOS.  See if you get beeps.  Also a couple of other things to suggest.
    Have you checked the connections from the speaker inside the box to the front panel and then on to the MB?  Also the connections from the power switch on the front panel likewise on to the MB?
    Is posbible that its posting correctly, espceially without the video card, but you jst can't hear it.
    Also I don't see that you ever tried to start up with a graphics card that you know works in another machine.  Can you try that too?

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R Trying to add card for internal firewire header

    Tiresmoke and anyone else who can help.
    Maybe you remember me I have the above board and couldnt get it to recognize my Sata drive. Well I got an RMI and sent it in for repairs. Apparently there was something wrong with it because it works like a champ now.
    Now I have a new problem with it.
    My new case has a front firewire plug that is wired with an internal header type plug. This MB doesnt have a header for it.  I also need any extra USB internal header for my floppy card reader, the 2 that are on the MB are being used by the "D" bracket and my front USB jacks, so I bought a card from New Egg that had both. The card is a "PCI Multimedia combo card" #15-107-112 from Link-Depot.com.  I cant get this card installed. Instructions say it should find the drivers on my XP Pro  disk with service pack 2.  When I boot windows finds new hardware but cannot find the proper drivers. IVe tried leading it to the XP disk but know luck.
    The manual says I need to install three types of drivers before the combo  card will function properly. 
    1. 1394 Bus Controller driver
    2. ALiPCI to USB Open Host Controller driver
    3. ALiPCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller driver
    It says the card is compliant to IEEE 1394 Open HCI specs.
    Before the card was installed Device Mgr. said there was a VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 11394 Host controller installed(There were no Yellow or red symbols on it)
    Under Universal Serial Bus Controllers there are several lines:
    Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
    6 USB Root Hubs
    4 VIA revision 5 or later USB Universal Host Controllers
    VIA USB Enhanced Controller
    So now I wondering if somehow these devices from the Motherboard are causing confusion with installing the card.
    Can anyone help me out here?
    Thanks !!

    Thanx for the reply.  I figured I could drop the D bracket but that still doesnt get me the internal firewire header.  This card has a std firewire jack  like on the back ot the computer so I had to buy a converter cable to go from the header pin plug to the std firewire plug.  Heres the link to the card I bought.
    http://link-depot.com/PCI-COMBO.html
    Why cant I get this card to install is still my problem.

  • [845 Series] mb msi 848p neo-v problems with sound card

    Since I've bought my new MB, I'm experiancing some problems with my sound card. WinAmp and MusicMatch Jukebox ( any version) does not support 5.1 sound system, but playing in stereo system. The soundcard AC97 is OK, cause Winows Media Player is working properly.Does anyone had such problem and solved it?
    I must say that I've already used MSI MB, and all APPs worked properly with the same sound card. The difference is that my ex MB was based on old Intel processors, but not Presscot based as this one.

    Have you installed the latest driver to
    the Realtec soundchip(ALC 655)?

  • Advice - K8N Neo Plat users with *NEW* (NCQ) SATA Drives!

    Hi, you can see my specs in my signature, but basically the Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA drive is playing up after a year of perfect use.
    An obvious replacement is the DiamondMax Plus 10... but...
    I know the nForce3 motherboard does NOT support native command queuing (NCQ)... but do I *STILL* need to install the nVidia SATA (IDE) drivers?? Currently I am using only windows IDE drivers (I uncheck the IDE drivers when installing nvidia system drivers).
    Also, are people still having problems running these hard drives on their motherboards?? (K8N Neo & Neo2) - or do all new "DiamondMax Plus 10" hard drives come with the updated BIOS?? (My motherboard BIOS is 1.4 - It is very very stable so I do not want to upgrade this).
    Basically - is there a better hard disk to go for with the K8N Neo Platinum? I want a fast, quiet SATA drive, around 160GB.
    thanks for your help

  • High frequency sound with K8T Neo-FIS2R

    Hello!
    I have the MSI k8t neo-fis2r mainboard with bios v 1.6 and sometimes it makes a horrible high frequency sound and I cant figure out why.
    My system are:
    amd 64 3000 cpu and
    Corsair Value S PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB Unbuffered, Non-parity, 64Megx64, CL2.5
    My other components does not cause the sound (that I have found out by testing).
    I wonder if the ram causes the sound? Can you please help me. The sound is so bad that I cant use my computer. It only appers during heavy system load, and not in windows. It has nothing to do with my video card (because I have tried with several different cards). My bios settings are default values + cool and quit enabled. I have the core center installed so the progam controls the cpu fan.
    I really hope someone can help me.

    The sound does not come from the speaker and I dont think it comes fom the cpu fan either. I think it comes from the motherboard, ram or the cpu. When I dont use my mouse it is quit but when I clik it makes this sound. Can it be that I have to set all values in bios for ram etc. manually instead of automatic?
    When it comes to other electrical sources I have a TV standing 0.5 meter from the computer. Could thins cause the problem? I did not have the problem with my old motherboard which was a MSI K7T Turbo2.
    The sound usually appers when I am benchamarking my system. For example 3dmark 2004. Because of this I thougt there was a problem wiht my vga card but after a changed to a new one...the situation was just the same.

  • K8T Neo V - Radeon X800 GTO Issues

    Hi, I've just upgraded my PC to an MSI K8T Neo-V MB with an Athlon 3400 and am having
    issues when running it with my Radeon X800 GTO  :(
    Everything boots up ok, until the point Windows XP has loaded and goes to the login screen.
    At this point I get a variety of lockups, screen freezes until the monitor loses 'contact' with
    the gfx card.  It does seem like XP is still running in the background and only the gfx card has failed
    but couldn't be sure 
    However, I can run it with my Radeon 9800 Pro (AGP 4X only mind you, AGP 8X locks up as well
    but I can live with 4x based on what I've read elsewhere in this forum  )
    Steps I took:
    When I found the 9800 worked, I performed a complete un-install of the drivers, rebooted to
    make sure they were gone, powered down, swapped cards, booted and installed drivers, rebooted
    and then it hung.
    I'm running it with a 450 W power supply.
    It's worth mentioning that this card/power supply worked fine on my ASROCK K7s8x MB before the upgrade.

    Well, I'm now lighter in pocket to the tune of £70 !  I had to buy a new power supply in the end to test this one out.  Whilst not my first choice, I ended up with a Jeantech Arctic 600W.  Unfortunately the one I'd earmarked from PC World's website wasn't available in store (I couldn't wait for someone to deliver it to me lol ), however a quick check on the web namely 'Tom's Hardware' confirmed it as a reasonable PSU, and for £70 I should hope so to.
    Now for the bad news...having uninstalled etc etc swapped cards out and installed new drivers....there is no difference at all.  Same issue as before, you get to the XP login screen and it hangs in various different ways.
    I don't think this is a power issue anymore, as all I am running with is:
    The MSI Board
    Athlon 64 3400(not overclocked)
    80GB Maxtor 7200 IDE drive
    1 x DVD Drive
    1 x CDRW Drive
    and possibly at some point, a Radeon X800!, but currently a Radeon 9800 Pro

  • K8T Neo creates 'phantom' RAM and won't recognise the real stuff...

    I have just replaced my computer's motherboard and CPU, from an ancient ASUS A7V266-E motherboard and an AMD XP CPU (1.1GHz) to a new K8T Neo-FIS2R motherboard with an AMD Sempron 2.0GHz processor, both brand new. I thought that it would be possible to use all the other components until I can save up enough for a new graphics card, RAM etc.
    All of the other components seem to work fine. After making all the connections and starting up for the first time, Windows (XP) loads successfully... but VERY, VERY slowly.
    About an hour after loading, I finally manage to right-click on 'My computer' to be told that I apparently have "AMD Unknown Processor - 2.0 GHz" and "64MB of RAM".
    This is what surprises me, because in the DIMM ports at the time were three 256MB PC2100 DDR sticks, all three identical - two which were in the motherboard I had before (sequential serial numbers and everything), and another one from another PC purchased at around about the same time.  All three worked fine in their old computers. So not only is the PC not recognising that it's actually got 762Mb of RAM stuck in it, but it's creating 64Mb out of nowhere!
    AFAIK, the sticks should be compatible, because the RAM specifications appear to be the same for both the Old ASUS motherboard and the New K8T Neo - check out the specifications on the left-hand-side for each board.  However, clearly something is not right - it could be a compatibility issue, or is there something I'm missing?
    All it says on the sticks of RAM is "256MB PC2100 DDR MEM" (plus "Made in Korea", of course  ), but crucial.com seems to be telling me that the RAM must be SDRAM, because that's all that would work in my old motherboard.  Is there some other configuration issue I've overlooked?
    I've tried swapping the sticks around and taking some of them out - no change, either in the display or in overall performance.  I tried loading it with no RAM at all - didn't like that one bit!  I had a look through the BIOS (with the instruction manual close to hand), but nothing jumped out at me - and I really don't know what I'm looking for!
    Really confused!    Any ideas what's going on? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Quote
    Check with memtest86
    ...yeah...
    ...look on the bright side...when I tried PC2100 RAM with a Socket 754 CPU it wouldn't even POST... 
    ...you might have to enter BIOS and configure the RAM manually rather than Auto...just a guess...

  • MSI K8T Neo 2 FISR Memory problems....

    Could someone please help me  
    I have a MSI K8T Neo 2 mobo, with 500w powersupply, AMD 64 3500+, and 4 sticks of 512mb PC3200 ram (not all installed).
    2 of my sticks were bought from PC world as PC3200 DDR400 ram.
    The other 2 are Nanya 512mb PC3200 DDR400 ram.
    I ONLY NEED TO USE 2 OF THESE STICKS.
    This motherboard was chosen so that i could run DUAL channel.
    However when running memory in slots 1 and 3 as manual suggests, the pc crashes when playing games. If i run 1 stick in slot 1 it happily runs all day long.
    I have tried running memory in slots 1 and 2 but only making a frequency of 157.1mhz. See screenshot of CPU-Z:
    MY MEMORY CONFIG
    Surely this should be 200Mhz?
    Basically i can only make 200mhz using a single stick and no joy with dual channel.

    Don't know if this will help
    You probably already know about this......
