K8T Neo Series JUSB connecting

Hello,
While cleaning op my case, and hiding all cabled to optimize my airflow I accidentally ripped out the connectors of the 2nd JUSB connector on my MSI K8T Neo series Motherboard. I first thougt It was made out of 1 connector, but unfortunatly they were about 10 tiny connectors.
that JUSB connector is for my front-side USB 2.0 connectors.
I know how to reconnect them, but I don't know in which order.
They are all different colors and are labled:
2x 'GND' each in an other color, 2x 'Power' each in an other color, ....
I checked my motherboard's  "quick user's guide", about those JUSB connectors, where they gice the correct oreder. My Problem is that the lables in the Manual aren't the same as the labels on the tiny connectors.
Does anyone has the correct order, maybe in color, so that I can reconnect them in a proper way?
Thank you very much,
Hans.

  • Does K8T Neo Series SATA ll?

    I have problems with my new Samsung SP 200 4c which my mobo does not find.
    I belive I have to invest in a new mobo which supports Sata - generation 2 (300 instead ogf 150 transfer rate)
    Which mobo to buy? (Socket 754)

    Thank you, blazing storm. After a week of searching for solutions I found
    it on Samsungs HDD support site, where the solution was to use a jumper
    to reset the speed from 3,0 Gb/s to 1,5 Gb/s.  Because my chipset VT 8237
    did'nt support the new HDD's software to run at 1,5 if my mobo did'nt support
    3,0 Gb/s. (MSI K8T Neo serie Socket 754)

  • IDE3 on a K8t Neo series board

    ok, My board has an IDE3 connector ont eh MB.  Does this mean I can hook up another 2 drives (primary and secondary on it).  I have all the latest drivers for this board, but for some reason can't get a 120gig WD driver to work and a Seagate 80 gig to work (no matter if they are master, slave, or standalone).  I'm 99.9% suret hey are ata133 capable.  How do I get the computer to see these two drives on the IDE3 controller.  OH, and IDE1 and IDE2 are fill.  IDE1 has two hard drives and IDE2 has 2 dvd burners.  My specs for my computer should show in my sig.  Thanks.

    Hey guys, thanks a lot.  I realized that I had a bad drive in the primary IDE3 connector.  This was bringing up a blue screen error when xp started up.  I also think I had bad and/or incorrect drivers.  But I now have 2 120gigs on the IDE3, non-raid, and it seems to work out really well.  I've never gotten into raiding drives.  I think I will use these 2 as practice. Anyways thanks for the info.
    Oh, and outta curiousity... I have a spare amd 3000+ 754 chipset processor.  I also have a PCI-e 6600gt....  Is the k8n neo3-F board worth getting if I don't want to buy another processor?  Or should I just save the cash and go with a 939 chipset?

  • K8T Neo Series - no power

    PLEASE HELP if anyone has had a problem like this.
    My computer is fitted with the above mainboard and has been working fine for 15 months.  Yesterday it had been on for about 2 hours and was in screensaver mode with no programs running.  I moved the mouse and saw the desktop for a few seconds and the screen went black with no power from the PC.
    I tried to restart but the system was completely dead.  Do these symptons suggest a mainboard problem?  Can anybody in the forum advise on how I can diagnose the problem and pinpoint the defective hardware?
    Any advice or tips greatly appreciated.
    TerryC

    Yes, like TS said...try a working power supply and see if you system starts. Or you can bring your pwr supply to a place that fixes computers, they usually will test it for you for nothing. Or you can buy a tester.  Definitly don't test the power supply by putting it into another machine, cuz if it is bad it could mess up the other machine. If the machine doesnt work with a new power supply, mostly likely the mainboard could have been fried due to the blown pwr supply. Dont buy a cheap power supply next time; brands to go with are Sparkle, Antec, enermax, Fortron, zalman...

  • K8T Neo and Kingmax Problems!!!!

    Hi
    Ok so basically ive got a K8T Neo Series K8T800 with a 64bit 3200+.
    When I bought it came with 2x 256 Mb Sticks of PC2700 I think DDR-333.
    Recently I bought 2x 512 sticks of Kingston Kingmax DDR-400 (MPXC22D-38KT3R)
    It wont boot at all with them in it, the monitor doesn’t even get a signal.
    Ive read the manual countless times and can’t find anything saying its incompatible.
    I Have Tried using both sticks by them selves with no difference.
    The ram is in slot 1 (I have tried all three just in case I was doing something wrong
    I Have tried the Ram in another Computer and it worked great.
    The Ram IS on the tested memory list Under Test Reports
    If you could help me it would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Zysen,

    You may have Bios Timing issues. Timing in Bios for that RAM is 2.5,4,4,8 or you can set to auto. VDIMM should be auto and you may have to try using sockets 1 and 3 as mine gave issues in sockets 1 and 2.
    You may also have to do a Bios reset.

  • K8T Neo-F (ver. 2.0) Unknown CPU Problem!

    Hi all,
    I've a really big problem with two mainboard K8T NEO-F (MS-6702 VER 2.0). I'm trying to build two pcs with these boards and two AMD Sempron64 2800+ Sock754.
    The problem is that when I turn the system on, immediately after all post messages like SATA controller diagnose, Realtek network boot, checking NVRAM, I get this message:
    "Warning unknow CPU type"
    "System halted"
    Then I can't even reboot pressing CTRL+ALT+DEL or getting into bios setup pressing DEL. The system is frozen and I can't reboot.
    I've tried to flash the bios using the recovery feature (CTRL+HOME and floppy disk with bios inserted), it starts flashing and than when I get those four beeps, I rebooted and I get the "system halted" message again.
    I saw that the latest bios for K8T NEO Series is NOT for version 2.0 like these two ones that I've got.
    What can I do? Please someone help me...
    Regards,
    Paolo

    Thanks to everyone who replied...
    The mainboard is not K8T Neo-V it's K8T Neo-F v2.0 infact on the PCB it's exactly signed MS-6702 VER 2.0.
    I really can't update the bios since I can't even boot up my system. The only way to flash the bios seems to be trying to find the correct bios for this mainboard and flash it through the bios recovery procedure (pressing CTRL+HOME during boot).
    Otherwise I've to find some other old CPU that is being supported by this mainboard, but this seems quite incredible to me! In also from my local distributors, new sock754 CPU are just Sempron64 ...
    Someone could help me finding a bios update for Sempron64 support for this mainboard?
    Regards,
    Paolo

  • Cannot re-boot after enabling K8T Neo LAN Connection

    I've tried to enable the K8T Neo LAN controller in BIOS so that I can connect a Wireless Router to my PC. However, when I do this, the PC will not boot and I have to disable the LAN controller.
    On booting-up the BIOS seems to be looking for an ethernet controller and a message states that either the device is not plugged in or the cable is faulty ! Why should enabling the onboard LAN controller affect the device the BIOS boots from ?
    Can I plug a Wireless Router directly into the RJ45 LAN connection on the K8T Neo and if so, how ?
    Thankyou for any helpful advice   

    Check to make sure you are not set to boot from network. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact name or where it is located, but it may help.
    Quote from: Geps on 07-July-05, 22:52:17
    as you say: a WIRELESS router is WIRELESS, how could you plugin a cable from a wireles router. or does it also have rj45 conectors?
    if you want to use the wirreles function, you will need to buy a wirrles lan adapter (usb) for your pc
    I have never seen a wireless router without rj45 connectors. (WAP yes, router no).
    Good Luck

  • My Unofficial K8t Neo Guide

    Disclaimer: You try any and all troubleshooting at YOUR OWN RISK!!
    Here is my unofficial guide to the K8t Neo fisr2 If you Like It give it a thumbs up so it will stick out. I will warn you it is long and I will edit off and on.
    to add as needed.
    first I'll start off with components,
    CASE..you will need an atx case with good cooling a few extra fans like a blowhole at the top can help cooling, also bundle cables and power leads
    so that they don't interfere with airflow.
    MOTHERBOARD,...This is based on the K8TNEO series, when you attach it to your case make sure that is is mounted to risers to keep it from contacting case, they are usually small brass pins, also make sure that all the mounting screw are secure and in place, this will prevent the PCB from flexing and cracking as you install components, there should be around 9 or so screws, that usually go into the riser pins or raised case mounting points,don't forget to use those fiber or plastic insulated washers. These should be the only case contact point to the mobo other then the back plate with all the usb, net jacks etc..
    Also use all of the mount points you can..if not you can crack mobo putting in cards etc...
    CPU...Athlon64 processor2800+, 3000+, 3200+, or a 3400+, all 754 pin chips...k8neo CAN NOT USE FX chips or Opterons. 3200,&3000 are basically the same chip, same clockspeed of 2.0 ghz but the l2 cache is different 3200 1mb...3000 512k, you may not notice the difference in many applications but will see 2~10% diff in benchmark testing, the 3000 is usually about $75 cheaper
    the 2800 is a newer model an a good way to get into 64bit without high cost.
    PSU.... one of the most overlooked and most important component,
    that old 300 watter you have from your old duron 800 don't even try.PSU's have caused a lot of trouble with a64 systems, they use a lot of power Get a good name brand psu if you can, and make sure it is at least 400 watts and has at the minimum of 20a on 12v, also look at combined total wattage
    the psu must have a 20 pin connector and a 4  Pin( Square) Connector, and there is Only 1, Called the+12V 4 Pin Processor Connector.
    some of the recommended brands are enermax,and antec.
    Here is the reason most problems are the psu
    amd64 uses 12v power, Intel chips used a lot of 5v power.
    so until now most big psu's pushed 5 v not 12v
    almost everything in your computer uses 12v except ram (3.3V)
    AMD 64 and motherboard =12a @12V
    so your already at 12A with no fan,s no hd, no CD,no DVD ,no mobo chip-set , no mem, no sound..etc  
    so what happens is your mem gets starved for power and then gives out errors,in your data, which = corrupt sata,or it fails to post. .
    MEMMORY...Another big trouble spot,not just with the MSI board but with Via chip-set, and or the A64 memory controller.
    DDR non ecc- single channel 400 is baseline although slower chips also work, The CPU's memory unit only supports 4 banks total so in order to use three sockets at least two of the memory sticks have to be 1 bank,.one bank or two bank chips look similar so check specs, dual bank chips usually have chips on the back as well. mem should match type and speed. if you run into problems try going into bios and limiting ram to 333.mem should match type and speed.
    (edited out till i find more info [STRIKEOUT] if using two mem sticks it is best to use slots 1 and 3,[/STRIKEOUT])
    edit :ok tiresmoke just replied so have a look. "One thing that often does not get addressed. I had a couple Blue Screens early on. Here is how I fixed it. I run my RAM in sockets 1 and 3. 1 and 2 gave a little instability.Yes I decided to keep mine in slot 1/3 but I did test in 1/2 since I changed Bios. Typically slot 1/3 can slow you down but it did not with mine so best to say that difference RAM will give different symptoms. Try combinations to find what works best for you."
    LOL Keep in mind that Jocko uses 3 sticks of dual bank RAM and according to AMD they only support 4 banks total. Jocko has 6 so you do the math.
    you can check msi's website for compatible ram, but be careful it can be confusing,
    they list by part numbers,
    but some known configurations that work are:

    you may have to email you mem manufacturer and manually set timings and voltages to get your memory working.
    HARD DRIVES......Here you have alot of choices, basically two categories, SATA and PATA(IDE). There are many brands and speeds, IDE drives come in different speeds, such as ata33, ata66, ata 100, ata 133 for hard drives, the 33,100,133, being theoretical maximum transfer rating MB/sec.
    newer ata(IDE)hard drives are ata100 which is ultra 5, and ata133 ,ultra6 is ,
    PIO mode is the standard data transfer mode without the ultra enhancements, the fastest being 16.66 mb/sec. ultra 2 is 33 mb/sec . So when i say my CD,DVD, and DVD are ultra 2 it means they transfer at a maximum of 33 mb/sec, and my Maxtor hardrives are ultra 6 and have a maximum transfer of133 mb/sec. my old zip100 transfers at a max of 16 mb/sec since its in pio mode. Note these are maximum speeds, my hardrive transfers more like 65 mb/sec sustained according to SIS Sandra.
    That is why SATA 150 is such a big deal, vs say a Western digital ata100
    SATA is a different interface all together and can transfers closer to its maximum
    theoretical speed. BUT the pci bus itself is limited to 133 mb/sec so an add-on card
    should never be able to reach over 133, regardless, of SCSI,IDE, or SATA
    so on the k8t neo you have some choices. With the IDE you can use, IDE1,2, or 3
    IDE1&2 are ata100. ) to attach use a 80pin round or flat cable, the first slot goes into the mobo, the middle connector is for a slave or should be left empty, use the end for master, or single drive. you must also setup jumpers for hd or cds.
    The master is primary unit and the slave is secondary unit, for each channel.
    Or use the Cable Select jumper and USUALLY the BIOS will select the drive for you.
    IDE1 & 2 is ata100, or 133 depending on board if using for only 2 drives put them on different channels
    ...ie master on IDE 1, and master on IDE 2 . that way they will have maximum bandwidth. especially for disk to disk copies or burning
    IDE3 RAID is ata133, or can be raid 0 or 1 by the promise chip. 0 being striped for performance,1 being mirrored for safety, mirror only protects hd from failure,not viruses,or corruption for that you need a backup or as i prefer a drive image program such as accronis trueimage..linux compatible.and Norton ghost.you will first have to enable the promise chip in the bios, then you have to load drivers by hitting F6 during windows installation, and insert floppy drive, yes you will need a floppy, at least for initial setup. If you want to set up raid you will have to do that first before loading windows,by hitting ctrl+F  (read quick user's guide Serial ata raid, serial ata) only hd's can use ide3.If you don't have enough IDE slots you can add on pci card with one or two more headers for up to 4 more drives, I added a Maxtor ultra ata133, since i have 5 idehd's and 3 DVD/cds.
    SATA, here you have two choices, use the Promise chip set or the Via. Either one or both can be set to raid0 or 1, see users guide to setup, You will also have to enable them first in bios, and F6 and load floppy drivers to use in windows install, or load drivers in windows if using an existing install. either chip-set can be set for raid, in the manual, opinions are that the Via is faster, but you wont have a HD LED activity indicator light, The promise will have a HD light, but is slightly slower.
    Also note that SATAs don't OC as well as IDE hard drives, they can even crash and loose data.
    always make a backup of your computer, and remember raid 1 does nothing for virus, or contaminated installs.
    SOUND....Here you have a few choices, On board or Card, unfortunately not both, yet.(UPDATE Bios Version 1.5 and above will fix this)... If using a card there have been some issues with Audigy 1 cards, but there may be a cure in this threadhttps://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threadid=46849&sid=( Moved to stickies) audigy2 and 2zs cards work fine as do turtle beach.
    on-board sound is not as high definition and uses some CPU cycles, so a card might be advantageous to gamers.
    REALTEK GIGABIT...Is the on-board Ethernet, you will need to load drivers once in windows, it has caused some problems booting, as it can be set to a boot device as well. you will get a message "failed to boot press any key."..then "ntdlr error"...to fix this you may need to hit the key combination during boot to set it up, it will bring you to a menu, you need to set boot order, i recommend setting it to bios, and you can adjust or disable message and time length it is displayed.
    VIDEO CARDS-  You should install an agp 8x directx9 video card for best performance. Ati has better directx support so is better for gaming, but Nvida has better OpenGL so if you want to do 3d in Linux, you have better luck with Nvida.
    When you set up windows, install via 4-1 drivers first, then the video drivers, check video manufacturer's website for updated drivers. make sure any extra power leads are plugged in. In bios Agp should be  fast write enabled, and
    if you are using 1024 of ram aperture size to 256, but check 3dmark to see which setting is faster.
    BIOS- NO BIOS INSTALLED This is a message that you see during boot up from the promise on-board raid saying that it found no drives attached to its SATA or IDE channels so it's not installed the BIOS.This IS NOT a problem or anything to worry about!
    jumping Bios reset jumper, be careful, make sure power is off.  jump it and return it to the original position. If you power on with jumper in reset position you can erase your bios...requiring a Return to Manufacturer Authorization(RMA)
    I have had no problems using windows updating to the latest bios ,It cured some issues, such as firewire ports, sound blaster audigy1 troubles,tweaked temps displayed,and so on. but be sure to have a backup of original bios disk. I have heard new 1.8 beta bios cures Newcastle temp problems.
    some good settings are.. SMART enabled this will warn you of hard disk failure,System bios cacheble and shadow ram are more for older computers and should be set to disable.boot to os2- disable...memory setting vary by card and some even need to be set manually so check with manufacturer or get familiar with cmos reset jumper.(just be sure to have power off)...plug and play os to disable(more of a win 98 thing) disable serials and parallel ports if you don't need them, as with on-board sound firewire etc. this is just a few pointers the rest is a more personal thing, but i have heard turbo setting causes problems and is best left to fast, and dynamic oc'ing is similar use at your own risk
    USB keyboard don't forget to enable USB in the BIOS. This caused some problems when installing XP. Without USB enabled in BIOS when you come to the "Hit any key to proceed" the install will fail with the ntldr error
    POWER SAVINGS...Having trouble getting fans or case lights to shut off on standby set to S3, then disable apm, and be sure to set a wakeup event..such as wake from usb, or keyboard command. I have agp boot disable, but depends on card.
    Want to know more about bios, and what those settings are? click this link
    http://www.rojakpot.com/(eb1mg5zatgcf5r55lv5no155)/default.aspx?location=9
    CORE CENTER....Another personal choice, I like it and use it a lot, to increase and decrease fsb without going through bios. the NB fan sensor should read 0 unless you plug a fan onto it, personally i have an 80mm antec and it doesn't read it, but i tried a old CPU fan and it worked fine.
    COOL AND QUIET Another personal choice, I don't use it because some people have had there CPUs power down in the middle of games, and such
    (it goes down to 800 MHz) others had small bugs in there system that went away when they disabled it. But some like it and use it a lot. Good for energy savings.
    want to get your boot time down
    start by selecting  OS drive as first in boot sequence, you can always change bios when you want to boot from floppy or CD(which isn't often).disable floppy drive seek
    then clean out your startup folder under rt click explore start button.
    try and get services set to auto down to about 25. defrag your hdrive routinely,
    . ditch wall paper, and get rid of windows startup screen.(msconfig,boot.ini.and check noguiboot). keep your drivers updated
    if you can find it you can use then try bootvis, but microsoft doesn't support it anymore.Programs ..some useful free utilities are listed below, check goggle, until i make links for them.

    if you only want one other computer, use a crossover cable, otherwise, use a hub or switch(better) and let Internet connection wizard and home networking on your machines work their magic,want a firewall download some software there are even, fairly decent free ones.the speed of the card isn't important because broadband still isn't over 10mb/sec yet, so blow the dust off that card in the closet and put it to work.or if your really brave or really cheap you can try to use the usb input from broadband, and on board ether, or firewire port, to link computers
    Trouble shooting
    for total no boot/post failure
    I know you may know how to build a  computer, and i know this is basic, so bear with me here, but at this point you have to do a methodical by the book check list.
    revision
    A: when you first install your motherboard make sure it does not contact case,
    use all nine mounting points, make sure that your case either has built in risers, or use the small brass standoffs, and don't forget the fiber washers.
    when you installed your CPU you:
    1 ___you properly handle equipment so no static damage can occur, (properly grounded)
    2____.you fully lift the CPU ziff socket arm up, orient the gold triangle marking arrow,pins and it easily dropped into socket, with no bent pins ,
    3 ___ backer plate mounted carefully no missing pieces of the board flying off, ( i have seen people launch capacitors, and the like )
    4 ____obviously you removed the plastic thermal pad cover, and heatsink was evenly locked down, and fully seated, and correctly plugged into mobo cpufan1.
    and you fully removed old thermal pad/grease and applied new artic silver, or new heatsink with plastic on pad,you didn't reuse old paste or pad.
    memory
    5 _____memory stick(not sticks, at this point you just want to get it working, not full blast with a gig of ram etc)is fully seated and properly oriented in slot, and is 184 pin ddr non-registered , non ecc ram , and you have tried different non corsair, non twinmoss, brands that have been known to work. and/ or
    tried to set manually mem speed/voltage for some models of corsair, twinmoss, and kingston)
    6.____ plug in only power switch pins 6,8and power led to jfp1, pins 2,4 and they are turned correctly,
    7. ____your new psu has the 20 pin and square 4 pin power connector plugged in to jpw1 turned right and fully seated. and has  a bare min of 18a on 12v+ rail.
    8 ____your video card is fully seated an locked down,also securely screwed in.
    9 ____your floppy drive cable iss facing right way (pin1 is matched with red stripe)
    10. ____you have ata cables for hd and CD set to master/slave or cs. with hard drive set as master, end of cable.
    11 _____the power plugs are all fully seated, including psu rear plug,floppy ,hd, and CD.
    12. _____keyboard(ps2) and mouse plugged in, monitor plugged into video card,
    13 ______every thing is fully secured in case, side cover is off.
    14 ______CMOS jumper is set 1,2 keep data, all usb stuff is unplugged, except for dbracket.
    power it up, one beep, fans spin, in psu and CPU, and video card,
    you get no bios found error,(promise adapter not finding satas..no worries)
    or hit Del to go into bios, set boot order, and .......
    .........your now at the end of the road, and it should by all means work,
    now what i am after,
    there are no bent pins, on CPU, you reapplied artic silver paste.
    no loose wires,
    properly applied heat sink with fan cooling,
    you have tried different brands of known ,to work in an MSI k8tneo
    ddr ram 1 stick at a tme.
    you have tried different video cards, and in case of higher end card, the external molex power supply as plugged in,
    you have tried different ata hard drives
    you then have tried have set up your SATA drive correctly .
    everything is securely plugged in ..fully seated and oriented the right way?
    what are d-bracket error light, and any beep codes?
    you have tried a different wall outlet, you have changed surge protectors,
    you never hot plugged video cards, hd cables or power etc.
    i know this redundant , and basic , it is not meant to be insulting , it is meant to be a checklist and rule out all basic errors and potential problems
    if your mem bandwidth is slower then 3000..like 2400 this may help
    Received from a user - Slow memory 1T Command fix
    OK, here's what to do. Download the following ftp://ftp.vector.co.jp/pack/win95/hardware/other/wpcrs120.exe extract it, and run InstDD.exe. It'll ask to reboot, you don't need to do it right away, at least I didn't have to. Fire up WPCRSET.exe and do the following. Under startup, click on start, and under device, click enable. Now click add. The bus device and function will be 0,24, and 2. The register and data values will be the 93,08. There we have it! Enjoy everyone. I know I'm much happier now.  
    Here's a graphic to make it easier:
    I will add more by edit, or post as needed but i should post now so it can be put to use.
    I would like to Thank BAS,wonkaboy, Jocko, ethereal, Tiresmoke, Reilly, and the many others whose valued input helps solve problems.

    amd 64=12a @12V
    ati 9800=7.5~10.5a @12V (assuming 90~125 watts) a max load,
    a 9600 ir nvida 5200 used far less power
    so your already at 18a with no fan,s no hd, no cd,no dvd ,no mobo chipset , no mem, no sound..etc
    If you exclude the motherboard, memory, etc like you did there, the amd 64 draws 7.2A @ 12V.
    90~125W for an ATI 9800?! [irony]Are you working for a PSU manufacturer or what?[/irony] That's just absurd.

  • Random crashes - K8T Neo

    I'm a bit of a novice, and I'm not quite sure how to diagnose this, so I'm looking for some advice.
    The computer will freeze for a few seconds, the monitor will blank out, and then I'm stuck. No beeps or any other kind of alarms. The power stays on. I have to reset the power to reboot and I generally find quite a few hard drive errors on the ensuing chkdsk (deletes incorrect indexes, corrupt files, etc). Sometimes this occurs within one or two minutes or booting up. Sometimes the computer can be powered on for a day or two with no problems. Sometimes it'll happen multiple times a day; sometimes not at all - you get the idea.  I'm using a new mb, cpu, and hard drive, so I'm sure where to start looking for the problem. Here's what I'm running with:
    Motherboard: K8T Neo-FIS2R
    CPU: Athlon 3000+
    Bios version 1.8
    Aspire AS500W Series Power Supply
    Voltage (as read from bios)
     VCore: 1.504
     +5.0V: 5.140
     +12V: 11.802
     -12V: -12.071
     -5.0V: -5.026
    Battery: 3.552
    +5VSB: 4.993
    Ram
     Dimm 1: 256MB Samsung PC3200
     Dimm 2: 256MB Samsung PC3200
     Dimm 3: 512MB Kingston ValueRam PC2700
    Seagate ST320082 200GB SATA Drive (Promise driver)
    ATI Radeon 9800XT Video card with Catalyst 4.1 driver
    Win XP Pro SP2
    CPU temp idles at 38C, goes up to about 43C when maxxed. Using stock AMD cooling and 6 case fans
    My first guess is that my mis-matched RAM could be the problem, but I don't know much about this myself. Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated.
    Thanks...

    Do You have any other psu unit? I'd try and see If getting an Enermax or an Antec cures Your problem.
    C'mon. The guy has 34amps on his 12v rail.
    Even Q-tec PSU's aren't that flaky, to cause that amount of crashes.
    It was just a thought and I was trying to help. Geez...
    Half of what He's asking about look like power problems to Me and It's not like It's an Antec or an Enermax or even a Thermaltake for that matter.
    This person does possibly have a few too many fans though and the Temps don't look too bad, As They are cooler Temps than My 2600+ NF2 system has, Currently 42C/46C(It's in a Desktop ATX case, Not a Tower), I do have a Tower case with temps like His/Hers is, So they don't seem too bad.
    As what isn't being said is, Does this person have enough actual amps coming from the psu for what is running in the PC?
    I've looked at some of those Aspire psu's and I don't think much of the heatsinks on them, It might work Ok on an Athlon xp-m (K7) system, But not on something newer and faster.
    And This Person should try running with just the Kingston ram, It couldn't hurt to try and make sure that the ram is fully seated too.
    And Yeah update those drivers for both the chipset and the video card.

  • K8T Neo F1S2R No Longer Boots - Help Diagnosing

    Hello,
    I've had good service from my K8T Neo Athlon 64 mobo for 2 years. Today when I turned on the PC, all the fans cranked up and nothing more. The four test LEDs stayed red. No beeps, no display to the monitor. The light on one CD drive (I have 2) and the HD light come on solid at power up. According to the manual, four red LEDs at power up indicates a bad processor or processor connection and nothing more.
    I removed my Audigy sound card since I know it has been known to cause boot-up problems on these boards. Still no boot.
    What I need to know is if this is most likely a bad processor as stated in the manual, or something else like a bad mobo or power supply (Enermax). I don't have a spare processor, 64 bit PC, nor power supply to swap and check, so I need to know what is the best step process to resolving the problem. I'd just hate to go out and buy a new processor to find out the problem isn't the processor.
    Thanks!
    Buddy

    UPDATE: Kudos to MSI support! I RMAed my original failed, over 2 year old K8T NEO via the MSI online support system. Shipped the K8T back to MSI on 4/11 and received a replacement on 4/26. It took only 11 business days, east coast to west coast and back.
    I was having stability issues with the new K8MM-V motherboard described here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=95656.0
    in that I was unable to run my Radeon 9800 Pro at "full" hardware acceleration without crashes. I could only get stability using the onboard graphics or setting the Radeon 9800 to "low" hardware acceleration (the setting next to "none").
    Pulled out the K8MM-V and installed the warranty replacement K8T NEO. The replacement K8T booted flawless, only requiring reinstallation of the Radeon 9800 Pro's Omega drivers on the first boot. I've had flawless performance with hardware graphics acceleration set at "full" with no reboots or blackouts since.
    It was easy as pie to execute warranty service with MSI.
    A big thank you to MSI for their fine support and for providing this forum....and a just as big thank you to all the fine folks here for offerering their expertise and help to us novices.

  • 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.

  • HEAVY Problems with Linux x86_64 on K8T Neo

    Hello, Community!
    I experience *HEAVY* Problems with Linux on my MSI K8T Neo (FSR). Since the customer support of the german dependancy seems to ignore my call for help I'm in good hope that maybe you can help me out or give me some useful advise.
    First some Hardware Specs of my system:
    MSI K8T Neo FSR, Rev 1.1, BIOS 1.5
    AMD Athlon 64 3000+
    3x 512MB Kingston DDR400
    Enermax EG365P-VE (350W) PSU (3.3V/5V 185W Combinded)
    MSI GeForce FX5200 TDR 128
    Adaptec ATA RAID AAR1200A (HPT370A) in PCI Slot 3
    Hauppauge WinTV PCI in PCI Slot 5
    Maxtor 4K040H2 (40GB) as Primary Master
    JLMS XJ-HD166S DVD-ROM as Primary Slave
    LiteOn LDW-411S DVD+/-RW as Secondary Master
    LiteOn LTR-52327S CD-RW as Secondary Slave
    2x Maxtor 6Y060L0 (60GB) on HPT370A as Primary Master/Slave
    Seagate ST380020A (80GB) on HPT370A as Secondary Master
    Maxtor 32049U3 on HPT370A as Secondary Slave
    KeyTronic KT2001 USB Keyboard
    Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse Blue USB
    I've downloaded Fedora Core 1 x86_64 as well as the lately released Fedora Core 2 test 3 x86_64 distribution. Both CD sets have been burnt ok.
    If I try to install Core 1 x86_64 (Kernel 2.4.22-1.2179) the kernel crashes with a "attempted to kill idle task" panic. As far as I've learned the workaround is to give idle=poll as kernel parameter. This resolves the kernel panic, but the installer randomly crashes with segfaults at a random stage; sometimes while loading anaconda, sometimes during package install.
    If I try to install Core2 test 3 x86_64 (Kernel 2.6.5) I get a, completely new, error message while the kernel does the PCI Scan:
    ******* Your BIOS seems to not contain a fix for K8 errata #93
    ******* Working around it, but it may cause SEGVs or burn power
    ******* Please consider a BIOS update
    ******* Disabling USB legacy in the BIOS may also help
    I removed my USB keyboard, connected a PS/2 keyboard, disabled to USB Legacy option (I need it enabled in order to use Ghost) in the BIOS and booted again.
    The error message is gone now, but as in Core 1 the installer still crashes randomly with segfaults. I'm still unable to go all the way through the installation routine.
    I even tried to install Fedora Core 1 "i386": again there are segfaults during install.
    Contrary to the problems I experience while trying to install Linux my Windows XP (32-Bit), as well as a test installation of Windows XP 64-Bit, run like a charm without any problems. Strange but true.
    Since I already read trough several posts in this forum I already tried running my system with memory sticks from another manufacturers as well as with a more powerful PSU. I even removed my tv-card and raid-controller.
    Nogo - Linux still crashes randomly and Windows still works without any flaws.
    Has anyone a clue what I can/must do to successfully install Linux?
    Might it be that the BIOS has some flaws that might cause the problems?
    Has anyone managed to install Linux (what distribution) on this Mainboard?
    I would greatly appreciate any help. If you need to know something I haven't provided here please feel free to ask. I'll answer ASAP.
    Thank you in advance.
    P.S.: The system is *NOT* overclocked in any way.

    And now even the last problem is solved ...
    Since I was successful in installing a basic Gentoo system but still failed to install Fedora I reflashed BIOS 1.5. This time I cleared the CMOS by unplugging the PSU, setting the jumper and removing the backup battery.
    Yesterday I only flashed it with the /a switch, which should have cleared the CMOS as well - so far for the theory. However, it once went fine as I upgraded from BIOS 1.1 to 1.4.
    After setting up the BIOS options again I gave it another try and booted from Fedora (Core 2 test 3) install CD: No more complains about the CPU errata, although USB legacy is enabled, and I even went through the installation without any problems.
    It seems as I will stick with Gentoo as my primary distribution since the kernel makes a more "mature" impression than the one from Fedora (i.e. the K8 PowerNOW! Driver seems to be missing in Fedora's Kernel 2.6.5).
    By using an spare Athlon XP Mainboard I worked out that only one of my three Kingston memory sticks had errors - I'm going to replace the faulty stick tomorrow.
    Now for the conclusio:
    Thanks, especially you JLP, for helping me with my issue. Without the advise to use Gentoo, and the included MemTest86, I wouldn't have been able to track down the error to a faulty memory stick that fast since Windows always ran fine.

  • Ram choice for K8T Neo FISR2 Motherboard

    Can anyone tell me if this particular model of ram is compatible with the k8t neo fisr2 motherboard?
    http://www.crucial.com/store/MPartspecs.Asp?mtbpoid=AC1B73A7A5CA7304&WSMD=MS%2D6702+%28K8T+Neo%2DFIS2R%29&WSPN=CT6464Z40B
    according to crucial it is compatible with the mobo, but i don't see it on the msi vendor approved list for the mobo.  I did purchase it, however for the new computer that i am building, comp powers up fine, but no signal is getting to my monitor.  Do you think if the ram is not compatible and is not working, then the new machine won't boot properly, hence no signal to monitor?
    i'm trying to rule out/in the memory ram as the culprit for my new comp's problems

    Well first you have not posted your specs so it's a bit hard to determine if the problem could be somewhere else. Please add yoiur specs to your signature.
    Second I am assuming that you don't have any other RAM you can try so here are a couple things to check;
    Put in a single stick of RAM and see if it comes up, if not then try another stick.
    Check and see what is happening on the D-Bracket LED's.
    Double check to see that both the 4 and 20 pin power connections are plugged into the Motherboard and see if your video card requires power through a molex connector. If so make sure it has a power Supply line plugged in.
    Reset the Bios with the onboard jumper. Caution, make sure you remove power before you do that step. You may also have to remove the RAM when you reset.
