K8T Neo-FIS2R and 2.2 bios problem

I flashed the bios of my K8T Neo-FIS2R to version 2.2.
Everytime I boot the system, I can just see the Windows XP logo appearing for a second, then the system reboots again.
I reflashed from a floppy to version 2.1 again, but still the same problem.
My HDD is a Western Digital SATA drive on the VIA controller.
Can somebody please help me out?
THX!
Marco

Thanks for your support!
After reflashing to 2.0 I still had the same problem.
The bios was not causing the problem. In some way, Windows couldn't load the SATA driver properly, I think.
I removed the SATA HDD from the VIA controller and connected it to the Promise controller, and surprisingly, Windows started again.
The HDD LED works on the Promise, but not on the VIA, so I left the HDD on the Promise controller. The LED problem is now solved as well.
I still don't know exactly what was going on. Anyway, it wasn't MSI or the new bios, it was Microsoft...

K8T Neo-FIS2R V1.0, CPU Speed Problem

Hi, I got a Athlon64 3500+ (NewCastle) and K8T Neo-FIS2R V1.0 MotherBoard
Just downgrade my bios from 9.2 to 3.3 since the 9.2 bios does not show the correct +3v voltage in the core center and the website is recommending that old version of Athlon should use 3.xx bios.
But the problem occurs, the core center now shows the cpu speed is 1xx rpm and keep sending alarm. I use other software to check the fan speed and it is 2xxx rpm. The temp of the cpu is between 33 to 43 'C.The temp of the case stays at 42 'C. The voltage of the CPU is 1.52-1.53V. One time, somehow the temp of the cpu went up to 50'C but the fan is not turning faster to cool down the CPU. No matter what models (Cool&Quiet or User) I choose in the core center, it just did not go faster. Finally, I have set full speed of the fan in the core center to increase the speed of the fan.
My PSU is Enermax 450W, and I used 5V for my three case fans since they are really noise.
Any problems with my system or computer, or any recommemdation?
Sorry for my English, but I am doing my best.

Everest just has no readings that work for us. They never supported our board. None of the software gets a correct read on our 3.3v so no there is no answer. I have tried them all as have others. If reading the 3.3v is that important to you use a meter.
I have yet to ever trust Core Center. It lies. Keep in mind just how many MSI products it is used in. So far it has yet to be that accurate in any Via Based MSI product. Search the forum here for it. No one seems overjoyed with CC.

K8T Neo FIS2R (MS6702) cool n quiet problem

Hi. I have an AMD64 3000 cpu installed. The cool n quiet variable frequency is not functioning anymore. Core Center reports it at 2000mhz all the time. As a result, it is running hotter than normal and is not as quiet. I tried the latest bios (ami v2.2), the latest amd64 driver and the latest core center. The system did not like the newest amd64 driver (shutdown just as windows finished loading) so I went back to the previous versions of everything. It did work at one time but something must have changed.
System Specs:
K8T Neo FIS2R (MS-6702)
AMD64 3000 socket 754 (clawhammer or newcastle I think)
chipset K8T800
bios AMI v1.9
amd64 driver v1.2.2
Core Center v1.5.5.0
cool n quiet enabled in bios setup
dynamic overclocking disabled
Thanks for any input
Pete

Ok, this is nuts. I think its time to clear the cmos. I'm now using speedfan and even with the max speed setting for the cpu fan at 1% (one percent), the cpu fan runs at around 3800. Then it drops to zero when the set cpu temp is reached (40c). There's no in between. When I start the system, its max'd at around 4400. I pulled the fan and heatsink to clean them last weekend and it seems that's when all this started. Perhaps something went awry when I disconnected and reconnected the fan to the board. The bios version, the amd driver, and the core center version are now all the same as before I pulled the fan. I'm clearing the cmos.

K8T Neo FIS2R and AMD DTR 3400+ compatability - Bios Update ?

As title , trying to install AMD64 DTR 3400+ cpu on mobo with no luck.
Currently running AMD64 3200+ on board with no problems. Install this cpu and no boot up can get as far a Bios set-up where i choose default optimal bios but then the system just hangs.
Have never updated bios , so i assume i'm still using V.1 ( had this set-up for almost 2 years )
Tried CMOS clearing , no luck.
As last resort ( after reading tales of disaster ! ) I tried to flash Bios to V 1.9 ( as reccommended for old clawhammers ) but didn't work ;
Created dos start up disk
at a> prompt , followed instructions to the letter , but kept getting "invalid drive" error messages.
So still using bios v.1
Any Help ??
Thanks,
Mark

Do you still have the old CPU? If so pop it in and run Live update and do a Bios Update. Do not let it do more than create the Flash disk and instyall the files on the flash disk. Shut down Live update at that point and take the 1.9 imge that you have and rename it to AMIBOOT.ROM and copy it onto the new floppy you made.
Shut down and go into Bios. Turn off Boot Block Virus protection and set the 1st Boot device to Floppy. Pop in the new floppy you made and reboot. Follow the instruction that come up on the screen. turn off the machine after the flash is done.
Go back into Bios and reset Optimal Defaults. Save and exit and then shut back down.
You should be fine at this point to install that new CPU.

K8T Neo FIS2R and DDR400

I'm looking to buy a K8T Neo2 FIS2R soon and I'm wondering what DDR400 to get for it. I'm looking at 2 sticks of 512Mb either Crucial or Kingmax, and I would like to know if anyone has used either of these sucessfully with this board.
The part munber of the Crucial is CT6464Z40B.
I'm not sure of the part number for the Kingmax, but it's available at http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductsList.asp?Submit=Search&Category=27
Any experience of either of these modules would be helpful.

K8T NEO-FIS2R and S.M.A.R.T

Does anyone have a disk drive with S.M.A.R.T "working" in their system? by working I mean that you are able to use/monitor any of the disk drive attributes associated with SMART. I do have SMART enabled in the bios but I have tried several utilities and all of them state that my drives (see signature are not SMART enabled.) I'm wondering if this is an issue with the SATA driver or if Raid 0 is somehow screws SMART up?
Any Thoughts?
Thanks

dont think smart is active with raid 0,as two drives are needed to create a raid 0,but will be active with non raid drives,at least thats what i have seen.

K8t neo fis2r - core center not functional after installing sound card

Hi. I had been using Core Center with Dynamic Overclocking enabled and all was well. When idle, my amd64 3000+ (2.0ghz), was running at 800mhz. Under load it would go up to 2100mhz. But yesterday, I installed an Auzentech x-plosion sound card and after i installed the driver, the dynamic overclocking stopped working, my cpu is running at max all the time. (The variable fan speed function still works).
I checked the IRQ and there is no conflict, I uninstalled the amd64 driver and core center and reinstalled. Still does not work. I uninstalled the auzentech driver, rebooted, and cancelled new hardware wizard. Then the variable cpu frequency feature worked. Once I install the driver for the auzentech, dynamic oc stops working. I was thinking to try another pci slot but it appears to be a software issue rather than a hardware issue. The new version of Core Center does not work with my board even though msi says it's compatible so I'm still using the one that always worked. The amd driver is the latest and also always worked.
Has anyone else had a similar problem, perhaps using the auzentech sound card with this board and Core Center? Or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hey guys, I just went to AMDs site to get the dashboard utility mentioned and in the readme, it stated that in XP, the power option needs to be set to portable/laptop. But in the past, I read that it needed to be set to "always on" and that it is, in fact, what I had it set to before when cool n quiet was working. Now I change it to "portable/laptop" and it works and set to "always on" doesn't work anymore. So now Core Center reports I'm at 33c @800mhz at no load. I don't get it??? I'll have to try an alternate utility just to verify that is indeed working.
btw, QV, I checked system properties, (right-click my computer > properties, or "system" in control panel) and on the "general" tab, it indicates an AMD64 3000+, 2.0GHz. But I'm pretty certain the clock frequency is dropping now as reported by core center because of the decrease in the cpu temp at idle. Am I looking in the right place in XP? I have XP pro, SP2
Again, thanks for the input and Happy New Year

Wrong multiplier k8t neo-fis2r

Just recently finished setting up my new computer and I noticed that CoreCenter is telling me that my system is at 200x5
Im using,
mobo: k8t neo-fis2r
and cpu: Athlon 64 2800+ Newcastle running at 1.5v
updated to version 2.2 of the bios
os is Windows 2000 pro sp4 and SuSE Linux 9.2 pro(main os)
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 200x9. I've read that the multiplier can't be changed in my bios, if true is there any other way to change the multiplier?
any help is appreciated,
Shawn

whoops just figured out my own problem....it had to do with cool and quiet....sorry to bother

Msi K8T Neo-FIS2R built in 1394 shows up but doesn't work?

I have a msi K8T Neo-FIS2R, and the built in 1394 does not work. It shows up in windows but doesnt work when plugged in.
I have tried disabling and reenabling in the bios, and disabling almost all other things to eliminate an IRQ problem to no avail.
I have an audigy 2 ZS also which has a firewire port, which is working, but I'd like to have access to the mainboard's ports as well.
any suggestions?
Thanks

What bios version are you on?The latest on the site was supposed to fix this problem-the 1.6-but dunno if it did or not,flash it to latest then have a look.

K8T Neo FIS2R "1394 Net Adapter" in XP's Device Manager

I can't get my firewire port to work or recognize devices attached to it!
I just built a system with the K8T Neo FIS2R and an Athlon 64 3400+ running at stock speeds. It also has GeiL Golden Dragon (matched pair) PC-3200 DDR which is running 1 trcd increment higher than rated to ensure stability. I have a lot of devices installed and have reinstalled windows fresh twice now with the same problem.
In device manager, the "VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller" seems to be fine, but in the "Network adapters" category, I see my D-Link Wireless NIC (fine) and "1394 Net Adapter" with a big yellow exclamation mark next to it.
This computer is for a music studio and I absolutely have to use the firewire port because DigiDesign's Digi002 needs to be attached to the computer and communicating properly in order for ProTools 6.1 (our main studio software) to install and run.
I also have the BIOS set to enable the on-board sound, but I also have a pro-audio card installed (the M-audio Delta 1010) and the computer doesn't even see the on-board sound device whether enabled or disabled, when the M-audio card is installed (but this isn't my main concern, getting the firewire working is).

Where? Nobody seems to be able to provide a valid location to acquire this mysterious "1.3 beta BIOS". Someone mentioned it is on the german MSI website. If it is, it's hidden, because I scoured it and found nothing.

Onboard 5.1 sound noisy - K8T Neo FIS2R

Hi guys, i'm new here.
Well, i got a K8T Neo FIS2R and the 5.1 sound is noisy. I've tried many different drivers, replaced my 5.1 speakers for new ones and it doesn't work properly at all. I've been using a 2.1 system and it works just fine. Has anyone seen this problem? any advice?
Thanks in advance
Kein

LOL OK you can save us time by replying to that end the next time. Thanks.
I know it may seem trivial but I can't count how many times a suggestion was assumed to have been tried and it turned out to be the fix in the end. So if we seem grouchy about getting a reply remember that we aren't the only one's that waste time chasing stuff when no one let's us know what they have tested.
OK back to your problem. There are no magic buttons to push. If you have tried other speakers and drivers then it is likely something on the MB that is causing the problem. It could be a power line somewhere close to a chip or connection, it could be a bad ground. If you have a Sound card handy you could also check it to see if the problem goes away. Otherwise you may have to RMA it.

K8T Neo-FIS2R Hard drive configuration questions

Im looking to buy this board in maybe a month or less (K8T Neo-FIS2R), and was wondering about configuring hard drives
I will get the version which has the promise controller on board, fo SATA RAID
The Plan is to get two Wetern Digital Raptor drives and put them in RAID 0 together.
however i will still have my DVD Writer, removeable hard drive bay (takes one IDE) and my current 80GB Seagate drive.
if i use the SATA RAID, do i have to use IDE3 for all the other devices, or can i just plug them into the IDE1 and IDE2 slots?
Also you are able to select SATA to boot from in bios correct? i have never done raid so have no idea how it works . and do you have to load RAID drivers or something before setting up windows?

anyone?

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

Difference between K8T Neo-FIS2R & FSR

Might be a daft question but whats the difference between K8T Neo-FIS2R and K8T Neo-FSR????

I though the SAME thing But was told Otherwise by a Mod. Because with the PENTIUM Based Boards "2" Does Mean Two Different Types of RAID Not JUST the Difference in the Southbridge and the Onboard Controller, Because the (2) in the i875PE-FIS2R means that Both the ICH5-R and And the Promise Controller support BOTH S-ATA RAID, and P-ATA IDE RAID, as there is a P-ATA IDE Controller on The Onboard Promise Chip also, as it is IDE-3 .....So I Imagine we are BOTH Correct, But this WILL Teach me to Open my Mouth in the AMD Side of the Forum ...Just Kidding......Sean
