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.

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

New K8T Neo FIS2R won't post

I have looked at all the other threads in this forum, but can't find the solution.
Specs:
New K8T Neo FIS2R
New A64 3000+
New Mushkin 3500 Level One (Cas 2) 2x512MB
New Antec 550 (24A on the 12V)
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
When I give it power, all the fans come on, the 4 LEDs on the bracket stay lit up, and then don't change, but I get no video or any other indications (such as beeps). The 4-Pin power connector, is securely connected in the proper location. The standard ATX connector is also secure. I'd link to a picture to prove it, but my camera is charging right now.
Currently I have only power wires, power switch, system speaker, video card, and 1 stick of RAM in the first slot. I have tried it without the video card, without RAM, with RAM in different slots, just about any combination I can think of. I have even cleared the CMOS a few times. Nothing changes, I always get stuck with the 4 LEDs. I don't have anything connected to the USB headers either (that was mentioned in another post).
I know some people have mentioned that the Antec 550's 24A on the 12V isn't great, but it should be more than enough amps, the way my system is setup right now.

Hi
It does not sound like a major prob, it sounds like a PSU or memory problem, anyway of checking MOBO with another PSU with at least 20A on the 12v. Also check the memory sticky at top of the posts and see if your OK memory wise, another possibility is that one of the mounting screws is tracking from the board - try removing screws and see if it boots, also check none of the cables are touching the case or MOBO.
MOBO and CPU seem fairly resilent, so faulty parts are not to likely, although one never knows. Another thought the Jbat1 Cmos jumper is on pins 1 & 2, 1 is marked on board, and you could try clearing CMOS. a corrupted bios could also cause this.
Best of luck, lets know how you go
Jocko
PS. looking at the stickys at top, Bas has put one there about a compitition by MSI, one of the questions is about Radeons needing extra power( has an April 1st entry date!!), it is worth checking, does your Radeon have its own supply, you could always remove it and see if it boots.
Cheers

K8T Neo-FIS2R - won't post.

Hello friends,
specs:
K8T Neo-FIS2R
Athlon64 3200 (retail with fan)
two 512mb stick Corsair
1 36 gig SATA Raptor WD hdd
1 80 gig SATA WD hdd
Antec 430 w "TruePower" PSU
ATI 9600 pro
Sony optical drives.
Mitsumi 3.5"
buncha Antec fans.
So I got my new baby all put together and took a deep breath and started it up.
All the fans came on, hdds making hdd type noises, CPU fan a-spinning.
Nothing happens. Doesn't post. No video at all. The MSI usb/diagnostics dongle has all 4 LEDs shining, and supposedly that means the CPU is damged or not seated right.
Poop.
So I take it down, pull of the heatsink and look at the CPU. Looks good. Just to be sure I take it out, look for dust or damage or any abnormalities. Nothing. No physical defects on the CPU pins or the socket. Alright. I carefully put the CPU back, put the heatsink back on (Am I the only one who loves how the heatsink attaches? Bravo AMD!) and.....the same thing happens. I sigh loudly and commence with the near hysterical swearing. Girlfriend announces she HATES it when I build a new PC.
Tried all sorts of other premutations, one stick of ram, unplugging all periphs in different combos, pressing the power button while petting a monkey and eating fire. You name it, I've done it. Does anyone else abuse couch pillows?
You gotta let it out man.
I've probably inserted a few hundred CPUs into ZIF sockets over the years, so I'm 100% certain I didn't muss it up.
So before I RMA these little sweethearts (both the mb and cpu, because how can one tell if it's the socket or cpu?) has anyone else been down this road and want to give me the magic cure? Or maybe just a hug?
Much Thanks to you. Have a good weekend.

Hello Friends,
The Hynix dimms in several arrangements, no go.
I also, uh, borrowed some infineon from work. Tried in several configs, no go.
Samsung no go.
Enter: Despair.
As I sat and stared at the machine in sort of a "I just spent a lot of money and what do I have?" sort of way, mine eyes did fall upon the gleaming brand new Antec "TruePower" psu.
Mind you, I had a perfectly acceptable 450 watt. No problems at all with it. It was generic and cost 30 dollars. But in the quest for stability, nay, in the quest for the very computer bliss we all aspire to, I laid out my coinage for the Antec fancy schmancy model. I thought, "Time to go with a real name, a real psu." .
And here's where the story ends. I swapped out the psu, thinking at this point I was sort grasping at straws, and wham bam thank you ma'am, here I am sitting by my gleaming tiny god, my humming MSI K8T, all is forgiven.
Thanks for the help all. The corsairs all seem to to do their job. Antec apparently does not test their rather expensive "TruePower" psu.
Ironically, the brand of the no namish psu appears to be "Works", emblazoned proudly on it's side.
So if you think ram is ruining your life, stick a piece of crap psu in that rig and see.
There's only one thing left to say.
w00t!

K8T Neo-FIS2R/FSR (MS-6702) and EluminX Keyvoard

My EluminX keyboard stays lit all the time with any BIOS revision above 1.2. I tried everything, enabling/disabling bios settings for all wake up events. Is there anyway I could get the keyboard to shut off and use a BIOS rev above 1.2.?

So...Just use bios 1.2 than.
I had the same issue with an optical mouse that stayed on. In order for wal to work, the mainboard needs the 5v rail all the time.
Have you tried disabling WAL, that might help.
Also, putting the keyboard on PS/2 iso USB will help.

Msi k8t neo fis2r odd post issues

well, i went over to a friends house, pulled out his ram..put in in my computer..it posted and boot to windows..perfectly..
so then i go into the bios and up the voltage..so that i can put my old ram back in..it stopped responding when i updated the bios becuase it set the voltage back down to default..so..
i put my ram back in once the voltage is set to 2.75 v and it booted a few times perfectly..i unhooked everything and came home..well
now i try to boot the pc and once again it will not boot? is it possible that the cmos got cleared when i unplugged the pc???
i know my ram isnt bad..i ran it on a friends system while playing games for hours..this motherboard is driving me insane..someone really dropped the ball when they made these..so many issues with having to fool around with voltages etc..cant even get the damn system to post if the voltage isnt up and even then sometimes it seems to not want to ..its crazy..
i know none of my components are NOT broken because ive stresssed them all fully in other peoples computers..
if anyone has any clue as to how i can get this thing to post to get back in the bios plz reply..im at wits end
my system specs are
athlon 64 3000+
512mb mushkin special 2-2-2 ram (i will change the timings to the recommended slightly delayed timings but i have to actually get into the bios to make this possible)
msi k8t neo fis2r bios 1.4

Southmike is sooooooooo right on that one. I see a lot of folks running stuff on other computers with + results and then nothing on the Athlon64 - equipped systems. Well, I think it's O.K. to a certain point, at least to find out if an item is not defunct. But, most of the problems are RAM and PSU related. After that, I believe the BIOS is the biggest issue. And I think some of our forum readers don't actually understand the settings they mess with. I for one, do not fully understand a few of them myself! That is why it's important to make changes in BIOS one at a time.....if you are not as experienced as a lot of folks here at the forum are.

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

K8T Neo FIS2R not getting through POST

I hope some of you might be able to help me. I just finished building a new system using the K8T Neo FIS2R motherboard. I actually had everything working with XP installed, but this morning, I have not booted once. It's not clearing POST anymore.
I get a long beep followed by 8 short beeps. According to the BIOS beep codes I've seen in other posts, that has something to do with the BIOS checksum error. I did upgrade the BIOS to 1.7 from an MSI Live Update download.
I'm basically stuck, is the mobo dead?

kawasakiguy37 and others
This does not bode well for my current situation, or yours. I have to believe that there are many people out there that have a successful 1.7 BIOS running.
But I'm beginning to lead in this direction now, especially since your description is close to mine. I was able to run in v1.7 for a short time, then it just died.
Also, I don't know if this helps, but after my beep codes, I assume the POST continues, because about 15 seconds later there is 2 short beep following by 1 long beep and the D-bracket is has green all around minus number 4 which is read. Assume blue=green here :
This is "Testing RTC (Real Time Clock)". At this stage it just stops.
I am assuming that I can flash my BIOS using the cntrl-home method, however, if that fails, are we looking at RMA here... And if so, what are peoples experiences with RMA'ing with an online dealer? How much proof will I need to go through?
Also, by the way, these forums are awesome... The data here has been great. It's nice to see such a great forum that has valuable information.
Thanks to everyone for the help so far.

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.

6600GT not working with K8T neo-FIS2R

I recently returned a K8T NEO-FIS2R MB for repair. The problem was that the PS/2 and USB ports were broken. However the MB has been returned and the PS/2 and USB ports work fine. I posted about this several months ago.
Now the AGP port seems to be broken (not the actual slot). I have tried a 6800 Ultra and a 6600 GT (AGP version) GFX card in this slot. Both cards fail at the driver installation point. I have tried driver versions 66.93, 67.02 and 67.03. I also tried 3 versions of the via drivers 451, 453 and 455. Even tried XP with SP1 and SP2. The PC will sometimes BSOD, reset, won't boot into windows. The drivers sometimes install then other times they won't, etc. The problems only seem to be with the drivers for the GFX cards.
The 6600 GT works as I have tried it in another MB without any problems.
I know the memory works fine as I used memtest86+ for a couple of hours on the default settings without any errors and it works in another PC.
The spec of the PC is:
XP pro
K8T NEO-FIS2R MB
512MB corsair XMS at 2.5-3-7-3
XFX 6600GT
40gig HDD
FDD
Plextor CD writer
DVD Rom
PSU is a Q-tec 550W
I know Q-tec PSUs are not up to much from what I have read elsewhere in this forum, but I have had it running in a similar system with the 6800 Ultra installed without any trouble (even with the above MB before it went faulty). I have also tried a 400W PSU, that came with the case. The Voltages on the 12V line are between 12.00 and 12.03 when using the Q-tec PSU.
Has any body else had these problems with the 6600GT in the mentioned MB.
Also, how can I check the serial number on the MB with the label on the box, as this MB that was returned to me looks to “clean” to be the one I sent away for repair.
Thanks for any help

Hey, I'm glad to see a post on the new Gforce 6600GT AGP card. I just recently put together a brand new system (see my sig for specs). System runs great. The only thing I wanted to do was replace the video card, and after a great deal of anxiety I decided the Geforce 6600GT AGP was the best bang for the buck.
Well I got home, installed the card and never get passed the bios screen. (shows your processor, memory, memory siz), the screen u hit DEL to go into the bios.
The system doens't lock up, NUM LOCK can still be turned on and off, and CAPS can be turned of and on... but thats it. Just sits on that screen. I can't go into the bios either.
what settings do I need to do prior to isntalling this card to get it to work.
Let me know if you all need anymore details to help me out.
oh, I did reset my frequency to 10x200 (which is what I think the 3000+ is supposed to be at).

Calling all old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users

Ops i posted this in the wrong forum first time, this is the right place
This for all MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users, that have changed to the new MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250 mobo, if I have the chance to swap to the new board should I do so, or does this mobo have its fair share of problems?
Is the MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250, a better board compared to the old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R? Not taking into account overclocking.
Like is the onboard sound the same or worse or better in your opinion? Is it any faster at stock? Are there any other advantages?
Thx Xe

I had a K8T Neo Fis2r at first. I got a K8N Neo because I believed my Blue Screens were a faulty K8T Neo. As it turned out, the Audigy2 I had in there was the problem, because I still got Blue Screens with the K8N Neo, and when I took out the audigy and used onboard my system ran stable.
I havent had any of the apparent keyboard controller problems, or ANY other problems with the K8N. My only instabilities have been the Audigy2's fault.
Havent tried overclocking on the K8N Neo yet, maybe a little down the road. As far as features go, the K8N has the hardware firewall on it (which I dont use) but apparently its "true" gigabit ethernet is better than the K8Ts. Dont ask me to clarify that, lol
btw Got my turtle beach Santa Cruz today and put it in my K8N Neo, crossing my fingers... =\

Motherboard Monitor settings for MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R

I'm new to motherboard monitor and there are no predefined settings available for the MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R.
Anyone help me with the appropriate settings to monitor temps and fans?

Lunchbox,
Yeah I can do that - but I'm not confident of the settings or readings. For example - the CPU temp Is only sort of correct if I set it to sensor Winbond 2 2N3904. But after displaying what I believe is correct for a few seconds it changes to something ridiculous like 7C. I've tried all the other board sensors listed and they either say my CPU temp is 118C or 7C. System temp seems to work, but again I'm not sure. Hence my post here.
It is also odd that CoreCenter and MBM disagree about a few things. Like the +12.00 rail Corecenter says 12.00v and MBM says 12.22V. Or Fan 1 that is easly 2X what corecenter says.
And if you run CoreCenter WHILE running MBM all kinds of wierdness happens - like CPU temp fluctutating wildly or CPU fan speed synchronizing and then not.
Plus clock speed is a consistent 2001 with CC and 1998 with MBM.
So I want someone who knows what they are doing to do the configs - clearly that's not me.

K8T Neo-FIS2R / Kingston KVR400X64C25/256

As a first time poster my apolgies if this has been covered elsewhere - I have read most of the posts on this forum but found no specific reference. Please just point me in the right direction if i am wrong!
I bought the Kingston KVR400X64C25/256 modules because:
a) they were listed by MSI on the list of tested Ram
b) they were on Kingston's list for the K8T NEO &
c) they were in stock. However...
If installed in DIMM 2 & 3 (as per MSI tested RAM pdf) the system crashes on trying to load Windows. DIMM 1 & 2 'works' if that allows for 8 or 9 restarts/day. I tried 1 & 3 to see if that improved the situation, but if anything it was worse. I have tried increasing the RAM voltage to 2.6 but there is no discernable difference. Upping the TRCD to 4 makes little or no difference.
Memtest86+ initially found no errors (16 hrs/93 passes) but when left running for a week came up with 10 errors (8 in test 6, 2 in test 4). MemTest (http://hcidesign.com/memtest/) gives me an average of 10 errors for 300% pass.
I'm now trying running the memory at 2.7v (within Kingston's ±.25v range).
In the meantime, has anyone run this memory without any problem - i.e. is it a simple case of faulty memory? Equally, has anyone had similar problems and found a solution?
thanks

hmmm! What if memtest, Prime95 etc. detect no problem over lengthy periods when sticks are individually tested in DIMM1 - as well as the system not crashing once - , but boot failures/memory dumps etc. abound when same sticks are individually placed at 2 or 3? Is this still a memory issue?
For what it's worth I have found Kingston's technical support more than helpful.

K8T NEO FIS2R can't use the RAID controller....

I have this very strange issue.
As soon as I connect a harddisk to the Promise (378) controller of this board and assign it to an array, the system doesn't work like it should.
Symptoms:
- MS Windiag (a memory testing application) reports thousands of errors
- Memtestx86 causes a spontaneous reset within seconds
- I can try to install Windows, but the process never completes; during the installation everything works really really slow (partial XP installation takes over 2 hours!)
- Linux gives me a kernel panic while booting
My system specs:
- MSI K8T Neo FIS2R (bios 1.5)
- Athlon 3000+
- 2x 512MB PQI memory (tested with GEIL/Kingston/Infineon memory as well, the problem persists!)
- Radeon 9700
- Levicom PSU (34A RMS on 12V line) (also tried Enermax 460W and Antec tru power 480W)
- 2x WD Raptor 36Gb (RAID 0 array 1)
- 2x Maxtor Diamond plus (RAID 0 array 2)
- 4x optical drive
I just can't figure out what's going on here... if I don't use the onboard RAID controller everything is fine.... but I need it for my two arrays... (besides that, it should work, shouldn't it?).
Is this perhaps just a bug in the BIOS of my system? If so... MSI please resolve this issue, my computer is worthless for the time being.. :(

If I put a single module (PQI memory) in DDR slot 1 I get loads of errors. In slot 2 and 3 they work just fine. When combining two modules, using slot 2 and 3, I still get some errors (32, all above 1000Mb)... but it's the best I can get out of my 1Gb.
Is it safe to assume that this is a compatbility issue that can be fixxed by buying some supported memory?
