K8T Neo-FIS2R early chipset init. hang-up; won`t POST

I`m new to forums (participating anyway) and also new to self-builds; this is my first so please be gentle with me! but am very impressed with the help you people give each other, and that is what I seem to need. I have studied this forum extensively and so am aware of the PSU/RAM pattern of problems associated with this board - am I in the same boat?
Having connected everything up I switched on and the D-bracket is giving me 3 red lights and 1 green(top left; position 1) indicating `early chipset initialization`. The monitor remains totally blank (tested on my ancient wind-up PC and works great), and there are no beeps to be heard, but all fans work and LEDs too, and the drives can be heard and seen to power up. The manual for the board lists the diagnostics for the D-bracket in what appears to be a sequential order, so it seems that I have passed the 4 red lights problem that so many of you are having/have faced. Can I assume(dangerous word that) that my CPU is properly loaded and functional as the manual suggests (if indeed the D-bracket diagnostics are carried out in this sequential manner)?
I have tried to run the board with just CPU 4-pin(JPW1)supply, heat sink fan(CFAN1)supply, 20-pin board supply, graphics card slotted in and powered up, D-bracket connected and power switch(case) connected, with all combinations of just 1 or both sticks of RAM, in all computations of DR DIMMS 1-3, and get the same hang up at the D-bracket. I cleared CMOS before trying the above as well.
Do I need to do anything to the Maxtor drives at this early stage - they came with no instructions or anything? The board is clear of the metal chassis, held aloft by the 9 clips supplied (no plastic washers supplied though? but the metal eyelets are clear of any routing on the board so I assume(that word again) that washers are no longer necessary/supplied). While working on the board I was earthed to the radiator behind me, and I did not touch the surface at all. The PSU specs seem to be within the parameters that you indicate are necessary, and the brand seems to be respectable. The OCZ RAM seems to also be of the necessary standard and type, although I don`t see the exact same RAM anywhere on this forum, unless it is just described as OCZ PC3200 256MB EL, which I have seen several times.
So over to you folks - sorry for the length of this thread, but how else can I tell you what I`ve done!!. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I want to get this board running;it sounds like once these initial problems are (hopefully) addressed, it is a super bit of kit, so I ain`t giving up without a fight - I think I`ve tried everything mentioned in earlier threads that may resolve this, other than start on the `buy a different PSU/RAM ` road!

Officially - as I've just researched the AMD website, here's what AMD has to say about RAM:
MEMORY SUPPORTED
PC1600, PC2100, PC2700 & PC3200 unbuffered memory modules
184-pin 2.5 volt
I've heard of others running PC3500 and higher, but question the effectiveness of running these modules. As earlier posts by Jocko indicate, running some inexpensive PC3200 sticks seem to have no problems with early chipset initialization. HOWEVER - just yesterday I went to a local retailer to check on 1gig modules, and the prices have jumped $20 or more per memory stick. I then went to NewEgg and checked on their prices and found that memory I paid $88 for is now $108 per stick

[Athlon64] MSI K8T Neo FSR / Early Chipset Initialization

Hi There,
My MSI K8N Neo Platinum has a broken LAN interface, i don't have the papers of it so I can't send it for RMA. So i bought a MSI K8T Neo FSR.
But there is a problem, when i power up the system, the fans are spinning, the hard disk spins up and the CDRW/DVDROM drives are working. The only thing the system does is hanging at the "Early Chipset Initialization" state accoding to the D-Bracket.
- Tried an other VGA Card > No result (Radeon 9200, Club3D)
- Bought other memory (I do have 1GB now , but still no result)
- Tried resetting the BIOS > No result
- Tried removing the RAM, the system beeps there's no RAM in the system, but when i put it back in the system wouldn't boot again.
- Tried to boot up only with R9200, CPU and RAM, and still it won't work.
- Tried to boot outside the case, but still no result.
I tried my processor, memory, PSU and vga card (6800LE) back in my K8N system and it works great, so i don't think my PSU is too weak.
And I aint thinking that my motherboard is broke, it still beeps without memory in it.
I am getting really confused, i'm out of money now so i can't buy some new stuff.
Anyone ideas?
Specs in signature. (PSU 18A @ 12V), sorry for my bad english.

Why don't you get a PCI network card for the K8N system? No need to fuss around with a new mb just to get a LAN connection.
Don't want to use PCI-Cards

Have you tried removing the RAM and then doing a Bios reset? Sometimes things get sticky if the RAM is still in place during a Bios reset.
I would also unplug anything that is not entirely needed to boot so you can simplify the problem.
Another hint. As the RAM controller is inside the CPU the system will not do anything right without RAM. The CPU will imediately hang.
Just tried a BIOS reset without RAM in the system, the system won't boot. Only the CPU, VGA card and the memory is placed. Only the 4pin 12v and the 20 pin is connected.
It just won't work, maybe the board is dead?

K8T Neo-FIS2R No boot - Early Chipset Initialization LED

Went from a MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR with XP 2500+ O/C'd to 3200+ to an MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R board with a retail Athlon 64 3200+ and a Thermaltake Silent Boost Heatsink/Fan combo.
RAM = 2 x 512MB Apacer PC2700 (MSI approved).
Video= ATI 9800 Pro AIW
Antec Sonata case with 380Watt True Power +12V-18A, +5V-35A, 3.3V-28A
Seagate 160GB SATA 7200.7 drive.
On boot, system hangs at #1 red LED indicating Early Chipset Initialization.
Video is blank, all switches work, all drives spin up, no beep codes, just dead.
Tried just CPU, Fan/Heatsink, Video and still same.
Without any RAM, system beep codes for RAM.
Tried RAM in slots 1 and 2, 3 and 4 and just one by itself. Never a change to the DBracket light.
Cleared BIOS and retried. Nothing. No video at all.
What does that "Early Chipset Initialization" mean anyway? I guess the board is bad. This is it's first boot attempt.

Well, I think I know what the problem is, aside from the PSU... I tried my brother-in-laws 550 PSU that pushes 24A on the +12V and it did not budge. I think it is the board. I did an RMA with Newegg and will be sending it in for a replacement.
Thanks for the advice on the PSU's... I will be heading back to Newegg to get one.
As an aside, I did get a new PSU since my last post. It was a Maddog Multimedia 550 that is made by Thermaltake. The voltage is not listed on the outside of the box, so, once I opened it, I noticed a couple things. One, it is a 480 not a 550, and two, the +12V is a paltry - abismal - 18A! This was CompUSA's best power supply and cost $140 after taxes! (I wanted one now, not in the few days it takes Newegg to get me one). Needless to say, it is going back. Since the numbers were not on the outside of the box, they are taking it back without a restock fee.
I will quell my desire for now now now and wait until a good one from Newegg arrives. I will let you know of my results!
ps - I am toying with the idea of the PC Power one... !

K8T Neo-FIS2R/FSR no POST

I have a K8T Neo-FIS2R/FSR (MS-6702) which is, along with all my other components (I'll list them later), over a year old. It has been running just fine until the other day. I have not modified any hardware or BIOS-settings recently.
The day before yesterday my speakers put out a high-pitched shriek and the screen turned black. I then turned off the computer (it seemed to still be running, fans spinning). As I switched it on it let forth 8 beeps followed by a paus, and then 8 beeps again, over and over. I switched the graphics card for another one, no difference.
I then left it turned off for a few minutes. Then I booted it up again, and voila, it worked fine. Then after a few minutes it died the same way, and when I rebooted it it started beeping again.
Switching graphics card doesn't help. I powered it on without a graphics card plugged in. Then it made 8 beeps, and then silence. The cycle was not repeated, as it was when the card was in.
I then used another motherboard, another CPU and other RAM, same graphicscard and harddrive, and it boots into Windows just fine and seems to be quite stable for the day I've tried it.
I then switch back to the K8T-motherboard with it's CPU and RAM (still same graphicscard and harddrive as the other one), and it boots fine. After almost an hour it dies again. On boot, beeps. Wait a few minutes, boots again, then dies. Beeps next time. Etc.
The 8 beeps apparently mean there is a problem with the video card. I have tested two video cards that both work fine on another motherboard, no difference.
Because it dies after a while when it has rested, I suspect some sort of overheating issue. I put a bigass fan blowing at the motherboard and video card but that didn't seem to do anything. The fan on the video card is clean.
I have hooked up the D-Bracket 2 that accompanied the motherboard. It has some lights flashing depending on what is going on, and it halts on "Early Chipset Initialization", which is phase 2 of 16 (1st being "System Power ON"). When I press the power button, the LEDs on my memory sticks flash for a few seconds (showing activity), and the D-Bracket lights up. Then the memory-LEDs go to rest (inactivity), and the D-Bracket halts. Fans keep spinning but there is no life. No beeps.
After leaving the computer off for the night, I cleared the CMOS. The computer booted and ran fine for a couple of hours, then it suddenly made a noise in the speakers, and the monitor went black. Fans still spinning. The little light at the monitor indicating that it is turned on was flashing, as it does when the computer is off and the monitor is on.
This is the hardware in my system at the moment. I have removed plenty of stuff to rule out other components but even with just this it won't work. No mouse, keyboard or other drives attached, just this.
CPU: Athlon64 3200+
Memory: Corsair TWINX1024-3200XLPRO DDR
Power: Thermaltake Purepower Butterfly 480W W0020
Output: +5V (35A), +3.3V (28A), +12V (17A), -5V (0.3A), -12V (0.8A)
Graphics: Gainward GeForce 6800Ultra 256MB GDDR3 AGP8X, "Ultra/2600 Golden S",
Motherboard: K8T Neo-FIS2R/FSR (MS-6702)
Harddrive: Seagate Barracuda IV ATA 7200 RPM
Monitor: Samsung SyncMaster 957p
Any ideas, suggestions or questions? I am stumped.

+12V (17A),
If your graphics card is like mine (see sig) with two power connections at the back you may have stressed the PSU over the last year to it's final end. Borrow or buy another PSU with at least 24 amp on the 12v supply. Your current PSU with only 17 12v amps was bound to fail. Especially since you state you had other hardware at one time. CPU Graphics card, case fanes and drives are all calling on the 12v rail to power them and your PSU just might not have it any more to do the job and the highest draw is at startup.
Try another PSU.

PSU for K8T Neo-FIS2R

What model of PSU has its cooling fans which can be controlled from PWFAN1 and PWFAN2 on the K8T Neo-FIS2R motherboard?
Kaz

Sorry but there is no real specific one out there that I have ever seen. Most of the Bios options you see have been available since forever with Via Chipsetted boards. However DOT is specific to MSI which is Dynamic Overclocking technolodies. DOT can automatically overclock your voard depending one what your doing. I recommend staying away from it as it can cause as many issues as anything in your rig. And then there is Cool and Quiet which is an AMD 64 Bit CPU specific option to downclock the multipliers for the CPU during Idle Times to save energy and keep the CPU cool. Again it is not really needed.
The rest of the stuff you can use google to find individually or by searching for Award Bios's or Via Chipset Bios settings.
These are way to much for any one person to post a complete guide to here as all the info is readily available elsewhere.

K8T Neo FIS2R AMIBOOT.ROM not working

Hi
Had a game crash on my system, and froze everything, so had to restart manualy - now I get the error BIOS is not installed..
I have downloaded a copy of the bios (not latest) and changed the relevant ROM file to AMIBOOT.ROM and copied to a freshly formated floppy.
I inserted the disk, held down CTRL and HOME and started the computer...
After a while of running through the messages of BIOS not installed and no SATA installed (which is correct), the floppy drive light comes on, and then after a while (afet I have released the CTRL and HOME keys) I get a message saying "Remove disks or other media, Press any key to restart" then nothing, if I press any key - it says the same thing untill I remove the floppy... and then it restarts again.
I have tried to restart using the floppy and the CTRL and HOME keys about 20 times so far - always the same result - I have even tried diferent versions of the BIOS.
Any ideas?
I only have one stick of RAM (256Kb - 333) and two IDE HD's
Many thanks in advance

My Set up is as follows (from the top of my head as I am doing this form work)
K8T Neo FIS2R.
AMD 3300 745pin chip set.
1 stick of 512Mb ram (non branded - baught from Watford Electronics)

1 40GB Seagate HD
1 DVD RW
Power 500W
Dont know what else you need...
Anyway - last night I reset the CMOS in the way you described.
Still cant find the VIA settings in the Advanced Chipset or elsewhare - but I will. urned of SATA in Intergrated Peripherals...
Anyway - what then happens, is it says it cannot boot.
I tried using a Win98 SE boot disk - and all the drivers were listed as not possible to load or something...
Any way - deciding I did not have anotehr boot disk to hand - tried Symantec Ghost - still same result.
Finaly I tried WinXP Pro, and found that this installed all the bootup files no problem at all - what was then found was that my C: partition was missing - yup boot sector had completely disapeared.
Anyway knowing that I have recent full backups og my primary drives using Ghost, I took the plunge, created a partition in the unalocated space, reformated the drive, and reinstalled WinXP... all seems ok for now... except the message regarding no BIOS - but from what you say as soon as I fing the switch I will loose that again.
The strange thing is I never used to get this message before, and do not remember setting anything up for SATA - couldnt afford the disks at the time....
Thanks for the help Hans, you have been more than gwenerouse with your time , but can you please give me some more information? (Im a bit of a Nooby at playing with BIOS etc as they scare the crap out of me! )
1) Why is the detail of my system so important? I have made no Hardware changes for approx 6 months and everything was fine untill the game crashed, so therefore, dont see why this should affect things.
2) Why did the flashing of the BIOS not work? I was following the instructions carefully - but nothing.. therefore in my Nooby mind this means there is something else wrong, stopping the flashing from working.
Again - many thanks

Problems with OC in MSI K8T Neo FIS2R!!!

Hi!
I have faced problems when making OC in my Athlon 64 3400+. I do not obtain to increase the FSB for 213Mhz more than without that they occur stopped or reset. I am using 1Gb (2x512) of Ram (Corsair CMX 3200LL PRO).
In the internet many stories exist that chip VIA K8T800 is not good for OC, because the AGP/PCI cannot be stopped with fixed values.
Exists some form to obtain with stability in this Mobo one overclock descent, with FSB of at least 220Mhz? The lack of stability in overclock limits the processor very, what it finishes in forcing to who knows to abandon the K8T Neo, passing to a Mobo that uses Nforce3 250, for example.
If somebody will be able to help with tips to try one overclock for FSB in 220mhz with stability would be very grateful, friends!
my system
Athlon 64 3400+ (cooler venus 12)

Case Lanfire Thermaltalke
Monitor LG Flatron 17 700P

Take your sata drive off and you can overclock higher. There is no PCI/AGP lock so the speeds are affecting your sata drive. 210 mhz. system clock is about the limit before the sata drives start to act up.
The problem is with that particular VIA chipset. No way around it has been found to work in a practical manner.

[MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R] 2xCMX512-3200 DDR400 memories (corsair)

I have this motherboard:MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R (MS-6702) and currently i'm using a Kingston memory and the computer runs fine. But i've buyed TWINX1024-3200 (2xCMX512-3200 DDR400) but when I put only this memories the computer after some time or when booting restart suddenly...
Could it be about the bios version, my actual version is v1.0 and I'm using AMI BIOS.
i've runned memtest+ and i get this: http://korpro.org/numb/PICT1348.JPG

I am in almost the exact same situation.
MSI Neo-FIS2R
AMD XP 2800+
2 sticks of DDR400 Corsair XMS memory (CMX512-3200C2) 512mb each (total 1gig)
Any combination of memory together does not allow the motherboard to boot. I get no beeping or warning sounds. Everything powers up but the display remains blank.
Things I have tried in many different combinations:
TRCD = 5, 4, 3, auto
DDR Voltage = Auto, 2.7, 2.65
DDR 200, DDR 300, DDR 333, Auto
Memory in bank 1+2, 1+3, 2+3
Along with those bios setting combinations, I have tried using several bios versions:
v2.2
v2.0
v1.9
v1.8
v1.4 <--- (Stuck with this bios for the moment, since the ami flashing utility HANGS when attempting to erase the boot block in step 2 of flashing procedure for any newer bios.)
As a consequence of several days of trying unsuccessfully to get both sticks of memory to work, I have given up hope on this motherboard.
Why is it so difficult to get two sticks of memory working properly on this motherboard?
Has anyone got another trick or technique or setting I can try that may work?
Alternatives:
Scrap the MSI motherboard -- never buy another piece of MSI crap again.
Buy a single stick of 1gig memory.
Buy a new motherboard from another manufacturer known to work properly -- at the very least not have these memory configuration issues.
Worst motherboard experience I have ever had, unfortunately.

MY K8T Neo-FIS2R with AMD 64 3000+ auto shuts down

I have run this system for several months with core centre all
arms going off when playing graphic intensive games (Call of duty, Counter strike etc).
I have added system fans to cool the machine sown, and this seemed to work ok until three days ago when the alarm was followed by a system shut down!
I can see no obvious problem displayed in core centre, but suspect that the alarm is CPU fan speed related - I am running the AMD supplied Heat sink& Fan assembly.
Anyone have any ideas why this problem has suddenly got worse?

Is this a BIOS/Core Centre issue or CPU fan or maybe a PSu shortfall since the problem only manifests itself when CPU is under high loads?

Hi mcihael ,
Thanks for the tip about Fanspeed. I have seen it around but never thought i had a need of until now.
I must admit that having all of these extra applications supplied with the motherboard can get a bit confusing - the only real use that Core Center has been to me was the alarm going off letting me know that something serious was wrong!
What's your opinion on case fans? Should they be EXTRACT, INTAKE or a mixture? Most people i read about say exhaust fans are best to take away the hot air, while others claim intake fans help keep a flow of air around the CPU cooler.

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- CMOS settings are wrong!

First I would like to thank all of you for taking the time to help me resolve my problem. My current system specs are as follows:
MSI k8t neo fis2r mobo
AMD athlon 64 3200+ (clawhammer I believe)
2x 512 MB Corsair Xtreme XMS Memory
Radeon 9800 Pro 256mb
80gb Samsung HDD
600W Xconnect PSU
After having problems with my computer not loading windows I downgraded my bios from v 2.2 to 1.9 because I heard that versions higher than 1.9 may have problems with my older clawhammer cpu core. The bios flash worked in that I can now start up my computer if I reset CMOS and load default settings. However when I load my computer this way my Core Center is displaying my Vcore at around 1.1v. 3.3v is at around 3.41, 5v is at around 5.1, 12v is at around 12.1v. In the past I needed to manually set my Vcore under bios at 1.4v or 1.5v to get it to start, and when I started it that way Core Center correctly displayed the 1.4 or 1.5vcore and stated that my computer was running at 2000Mhz. Now my computer is running at 1.1vcore and 800 MHz. If I clear cmos and enter setup to try to change my vcore to 1.4 my computer will hang after the save and exit just as if I had restart my computer without clearing the CMOS. I have tried changing the mobo battery, which did not do anything. Its odd, if I choose to load default settings and continue, my computer will start up and is entirely stable. If I choose to enter setup however and choose to load default settings and then save and exit, my computer will hang just as if I did not reset CMOS to begin with.
I really do not know what to do here. I was thinking about trying something like this http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalCPUID/index-e.html to up my vcore after I get my computer started so that I can play my games without the low fps I am currently getting. I know this fix would not get my computer to start up without resetting CMOS, but would it work as a temporary solution?
Does anyone have any ideas for what is wrong? Thanks again in advance.

Thats bad news for me!
Anyway, I found a program called RightMark CPU clock Utility that has enabled me to get my 2000 MHz out of my cpu by setting FID to 10.0x and VID to 1.550v
With these settings Rightmark is reporting an idle cpu temp of around 31 C, but when I get in a game like world of warcraft the temp will go all the way up to around 90 C, which I feel is incorrect. Ive had my computer become very unstable in the past when the temp got near 65-70C. It seems to be perfectly stable at the moment, even under the high loads of world of warcraft. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Msi k8t neo fis2r wont post plz help

I recently updated my bios for the motherboard, and now I can't get the pc to post. Before I had the pc going but it kept getting gpfs and crashing to the desktop from games..
I was having problems with it not wanting to post before but I raised the voltage to my ram and fixed that, the problem is that when the bios got wiped from the upgrade it lowered the voltage on the ram..now i just cant get it to post at all..if anyone has any suggestions on how to get this powered up so i can change the voltage again please let me know
I am only using one ram chip...
my specs are
athlon 64 3000+
512mb mushkin special
sapphire radeon 9800 pro
msi k8t neo fis2r mboard
antec 430 watt 12v - 20a
i cant afford a new psu and i know this one is ok as my friend tested it in his identical system for 24 hours ..
my mboard just seems to refuse to post ..i upgraded my bios and the voltage dropped because the update sets the defaults back to default..
after i upgraded the bios, it posted once, i was in the bios and i saved some settings and restarted..i was going to go back and up the voltage on the ram again so that it would post (i had solved my problem similar to this earlier by upping the ram voltage to 2.75) but it was too late and after it shutdown it wouldnt turn back on
also, ive tried all 3 ram slots with the chip, and ive cleared the cmos with the jumper 3 times..

your complete specs may help .. if running two sticks of ram you could remove one stick ... you could also reset the bios using the clear CMOS jumper .. but without more detailed specs ppl will struggle to help you

MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R - help please :(

When i first got this board + my Athlon 64bit 3200+ I just left everything in bios at default, and counter-strike bullet registration was amazing, the FSB clock said 133, (no i did not imagine this as ive had two of these boards and they both said 133fsb when i went to bios).... one day my p.c wouldnt boot up, i did a series of tests and couldnt find what was wrong, i eventaully reset cmos and still it would not boot up properly. So i got a new harddrive and that seemed to solve the problem, only this time when i went to bios instead of the FSB saying 100-280, it said 190-280, now counter-strike bullet reg has totally gone and plays like , oh sure good frames per second but it doesnt feel instant, i want 133fsb back quite desperately, i was hoping one of you kind people could tell me if theres fsb jumpers on my board or how i can get 133fsb back, wont let me below 190 at the moment :(
Thanks

below are my specs,similar to yours. the issue is in the audigy card .. remove it , try a different card ( live ) if some one can resolve this please let me know too..
I have a problem ,when ever I boot my system hangs ( at sound card) ,if I power down and reboot a few seconds later its fine.if I leave it running its fine,only on a cold start. if I remove my audigy card this problem goes away, I can use other cards ,but not the audigy, did you ever have this issue ,or know any one who has had an irq issue like this( I think its in the irq) ...............

Do k8t neo fis2r have agp/pci lock?

Hi
I just read a test of my motherboard (MSI k8t neo fis2r).
I was written that the motherboard had a agp/pci lock.
Does it so? I dont want to damage my 9800xt with to high agp bus so i need to know! please

Simple fix... Don't overclock the system clock or what people mistakenly reffer to as the Front Side Bus (FSB)... The issue is not just with the motherboard but rather with the VIA K8T-800 chipset. The Hyperthreading, PCIO, and AGP are all tied to the system clock so when you change that clock everything is affected. Some things can handle it and some things can't. If you leave the system clock alone then there are no worries.
