K8t neo winxp pro problems

hi
i recently bought a bunch of new computer parts:
amd64 3200+
msi k8t neo v1.0 (flashed to 1.1)
2 x 512mb mushkin lvl 2 pc 3500
2 x 36.7 WD raptor SATA drives
1 x 120 WD 72krpm SATA drive
piano sonata case /w 380 true power supply
radeon 9800xt
audigy2
I can't install windows XP on my computer; everytime i try to install xp pro my computer goes all the way up to formatting the partition for win xp, but then a BSOD pops up.  It changes every now and then.  What am I doing wrong?  Is it my hardware?  I just can't figure it out.  Maybe bios settings?  My raid array?  Please help.  I've been up for 10 hours straight trying to get this to work.
anyone who has a setup like this can you pm me a step by step?

Check your ram timings in bios.  Encrease your voltage on the memory to
2.75 settings 2-2-2-6.  I am using the same memory and it is rated up to 2.75.
I agree with the first poster BSOD is a memory error.

  • K8T NEO FSR floppy problem

    I just got this board, here is my gear:
    K8t NEO FSR
    2 x512 MB Mushkin DDR
    74 GB WD Raptor SATA HDD
    200 GB Maxtor SATA HDD
    Plextor 8x DVD+-RW
    Athlon64 3000+
    ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
    X-Superalien case
    The problem I am having is that the system will not successfully load anything from the floppy drive. I used a known good floppy drive. If I enable floppy seek at boot it spins up and the light comes on, but it can't boot from the floppy and Windows XP setup can't read the SATA drivers disk.
    I can't install XP because I can't get the drivers for SATA to load. I have a network, is there any way I can have the sysem load the drivers over the network? HELP!

    I had a problem similar to this on a case with a molded floppy slot.  WHat it ended up being is that I screwed the floppy drive down too close to the case and the button was always slightly depressed.  Enough that I could here it click when the disk slid in but the drive failed to work properly because the disk wasn't technically in.  This drove me nuts because 3 drives failed to work all with same symptoms.  Then I noticed when I hooked one up on the side of the case it worked fine.
    Also be sure that your boot order in advanced settings is set for floppy first and then hard drive and that floppy is not disabled in your integrated peripherals section.

  • MSI K8t NEO + Audigy Boot Problem only when power is unplugged on the PSU

    I ran into a really weird problem today.
    I switched the ps off by reaching back and pressing the button. I repress the button to power on the ps, then I click on the button in the fron of the case to power up the machine. System keeps rebooting itself every 1 sec. Bracket shows 4 red lights. In the manual, it says it means bad cpu. I remove the audigy and it boots fine. I install the audigy, 4 red lights.
    So, This time instead of turning the puter off by using the button on ps. I used the button on the case by holding it down for 5 seconds. I reboot and puter boots normally.
    So the problem is, if i turn the puter off by using the button on the PS and with audigy in the syste. Nothing on screen, and puter keeps rebooting itself every one second. Solution is to turn the puter off by using the button on the case.
    Has anyone ran into this problem? I have never had this kind of problem. It is really weird. Any feedback is apreciated.
    Oh and it is only with audigy. I tested this with original live, and also other PCI cards like nic, and another cheap sound card. Non of these cards showed this problem.

    Cavemankr!
    I never knew you could shut down the computer by holding down the start button for 5 seconds.... well I've never really had the need to...until I got this K8T Neo job. I wondered why it wouldn't turn off when I just pushed it. I've been using the PSU switch with these problems.
    Yep! She booted right up. Audigy back in action. I also realized I had my PC hooked straight in the wall (while checking to see if my surge protector was working this weekend), so turning off the surge protector wasn't cutting power to the cheapo PSU.
    So put me in your camp!
    I'll just plug the PC straight into the UPS and keep power fed to the Enermax. I hope that was the cause of my keyboard/mouse cold boot problem also.
    I'll assume the cheapo PSU will behave similarly. I don't really want to go through the swap again.  
    I wonder why that happens!

  • K8T800 K8T NEO-FSR Memory Problems

    Just a warning before I start in, this is a pretty long post. I'm going to try to include all the information I can.
    Here's my system right now. It's running Windows XP Professional with all the latest updates.
    Processor: AMD Athlon 64 3000, 512KB L2 Cache 64-bit Processor. Not overclocked at all.
    Motherboard: MSI K8T800 K8T NEO-FSR, latest BIOS updates from MSI
    Video Card: ATI RADEON 9800PRO Video Card, 128MB DDR, latest Catalyst drivers from ATI installed. Not overclocked at all.
    Memory: Mushkin 184 Pin 2x512MB DDR400 PC-3200, running at DDR400 with Auto selected for all the memory timings in the BIOS. Memory placed in DIMM#1 and DIMM#2. Not overclocked at all.
    Hard Drive: Western Digital 80 Gig
    I started experiencing random reboots and critical errors in game applications on Sunday. The computer would randomly reboot at random intervals from Windows. In addition, while running games like Warcraft 3, Asheron's Call, or World of Warcraft I would receive frequent critical errors that certain sections of the memory could not either be read or written to.
    I figured that there was some kind of problem with the memory, so I downloaded Memtest86 and ran it. The first stick of RAM was in DIMM#1 and the second stick in DIMM#2. This was the memory configuration during all the random reboots and critical errors.
    Memtest86 came up with several failures during the 5th phase of the test. The same failures came up upon repeated testing in the same phase of the test. I decided to try to isolate the failure and see if one stick or the other was defective. I yanked out the second stick from DIMM#2 and left the first stick in DIMM#1. The first stick (which I'll refer to as the "good RAM stick") passed the memtest repeatedly. I then stuck the second RAM stick into DIMM#1 alone and the computer would not even POST.
    I then moved the second RAM stick (which I'll refer to as the "bad RAM stick") over to DIMM#2 alone and managed to get it to POST. The bad stick failed the memtest with the exact same errors during the same phase of testing as the combined sticks had failed during the initial test. For the sake of completeness, I moved the bad stick over to DIMM#1 alone and finally managed to get it to POST. However, the bad stick passed the memtest repeatedly. Puzzled, I moved the bad stick over to DIMM#3 alone and tested it there, which it also passed repeatedly. I moved it back into DIMM#2 alone and it failed the test repeatedly again and again.
    Intrigued, I then moved the good RAM stick into DIMM#2 alone, to try to see if perhaps there was some kind of motherboard error occurring. The good stick passed the memtest repeatedly in DIMM#2. I then moved the good stick into DIMM#3 alone and it passed the test repeatedly in that slot.
    After checking the motherboard manual to make sure I could do it, I put the bad stick in DIMM#1 and the good stick in DIMM#3 and ran the memtest. The combined sticks passed the test where previously, while configured in DIMM#1 and DIMM#2, they had failed it. I moved the sticks back into DIMM#1 and DIMM#2 to test again. The combined sticks failed as they had during the initial test.
    I then reconfigured the sticks to DIMM#1 and DIMM#3 again and booted up the system. Although I only had limited testing time last night, I seemed to be totally stable. The system did not reboot at all and I actually managed to play WoW for an hour without a single crash.
    Any suggestions on what's occuring? I figured that maybe the mobo's memory seating in DIMM#2 was messed up, but I wanted to get some more guidance from others.

    Well if it's an Antec Sl-350, that one only has 16A @ 12V, way too little to handle your system.....
    I would get another PSU in any case, as even the TP-380 is bare minimum.....
    Go for the Enermax 465 it has 33A @ 12V and then you are sure it's not a power problem...
    Also, a good PSU is never a waiste of money

  • K8T NEO BIOS Update Problems

    Hello, I have a K8T NEo MS-6702 Ver 1.0 Mb and want to flah it. I have downloaded the BIOS Update ver 1.8. When reading how to flash it it says in large letters "DON'T FLASH FROM A FLOPPY DISK!!!!". Now my problem is that I have a NTFS file system so I am unable to run it from the C drive as instructed in the how to document. SO my question is why can I not run it from a floppy? Can I run it from a CD? How do I flash my BIOS with a NTFS file system?
    Thanks in advance

    You are welcome! ...Eh, the other utilities I would not install unless they are absolutely crucial. After a successful BIOS update it is recommended you clear CMOS. Power off and unplug power cable when clearing, as there can be n o  el. left for a successful clearing.

  • K8t neo fis2r framerate problem

    i have an athlon 64 3400+, msi k8t neo fis2r, 120 gb seagate barracuda, corsair xms series pc3200 512MB ram(with black heatspreader), gainward geforce fx5700ultra, 500w allied power supply.  I'm having terrible framerate problems when i'm playing games.  It doesn't matter what game i'm playing...i've been playing unreal tournament as a tester game.  At first I thought i had a bad video card so i sent that back.  I'm still having the same problem.  I've flashed my bios, sp1a, all the newest chipset drivers, set my RAM timings, newest video card drivers (53.03), everything.  I don't know what is going on.  My games run at the same frame rate at 640x480 then when they are on 1024x768.  When I turn vsynch on, i'd say about half or maybe more of the time i'd have bad frame rate, when I turn vsynch off my games play reallllly fast.  It seems to jump in and out of normal rate of play.  I was talking to my friend and he thought it was the timing chip on my motherboard.  I'm on my last straw and i'm about to send this board back for a replacement.

    I dont know what you mean by am i letting windows install it...but i'm using live update to download it then it automatically installs itself.  I'll try that uninstall the agp thing on the 4 in 1 but I doubt it'll do anything seeing as how i've probably reinstalled windows 4 or 5 times and installed the 4 in 1 drivers each time to no avail.  I really think my mobo's agp slot is bad or something on my mobo is bad.  I was using a 300W psu for awhile, that might have done something to the board.

  • 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-V voltage problem

    Hi
    I tried to overclock my Sempron 3000+ on MSI K8t Neo-V mobo.
    I was looking into Bios to find CPU Voltage, but I found only AGP voltage and DRAM voltage.
    How can I change cpu voltage?

  • MSI K8T NEO-FIS2R: RAM problems

    I have the motherboard K8T NEO-FIS2R with AMIBIOS 2VMS V2.0 010505.
    I tried these DDR-RAM:
    DDR-RAM 512MB PC400 CL3 Kingston KVR400X64C3A/512
    DDR-RAM 512MB PC400 CL3 Samsung
    but the motherboard recognizes only 256 MB for both. The RAM are good: I tried them in an other pc!
    Now I have installed an A-DATA ram 256 MB and the motherboard recognizes 256 MB!
    Do you think that my motherboard is defective?
    Thank you in advance.
    P.S. I'm sorry for my bad english.
     

    No the memory controller is onboard the CPU so in any case the MB is not defective. However the CPU revision may hold you back on some RAM especially if you mix make and model RAM on the same channel. A socket 754 CPU only has one channel so all RAM must be matched to work properly.
    If those Sticks can only be seen as a wrong value when used by themselves it is likely that either they have errors or the timings in Bios are improperly set to azllow them to work. In this case you can normally find out what is going on by running memtest86. If you get errors on test 5 or 7 then you have timgs timed improperly and any other errors would show bad RAM.
    Another case is not having enough power for everything to work properly together. Usually this happens when you don't have enough 12v amps for these newer rigs.
    Post complete specs and test results and maybe we can help you further.

  • AMD64 3200 + MSI K8T Neo FISR2 memory problem

    I've had one KVR400X64C25/512 and it have worked like a charm. Now I've bought another one (total 1gb).
    When I've inserted it and start the computer I only get the CoreCell logo scren, it do not boot correctly.
    AMIBIOS is version 3.21a
    I've tried the following:
    * run only the new memory [works]
    * run only the old memory [works]
    * DIMM1 + DIMM3 [only CoreCell screen]
    * DIMM1 + DIMM2 [only CoreCell screen]
    * DIMM2 + DIMM3 [only a black screen]
    what should I do?

    Quote from: Tiresmoke on 22-August-05, 21:48:12
    A PSU is rated to run at +/-5% and that is well within it's rating. As for wether ists big enough there is no way we can say as you still did not give full system specs.
    If it won't run with the third stick of RAM then pull it out for the moment and see if the system will boot again. If it does then during post you will see a Bios version listed. That board only supports Bios versions to 2.2 at the moment so please also list what actuall Bios version you have.
    Ok, have booted with one instead of two sticks (one works, two don't, do not have three sticks)..
    AMIBIOS A6702VMS v2.2 released 030405. The autodetect settings (at startup): Clock = 400Mhz, CAS 2.5 which seems correct.

  • K8T Neo-FIS2R Old Problem, New Issue

    I made my system back in 2003 using a K8T Neo-FIS2R motherboard and a Barracuda 7200 SATA 160GB drive (ST3160023AS). If you don't remember, back then motherboards that supported SATA drives for main drives, sometimes needed extra drivers in order for the windows installation process to work. At first this threw me, but since then I have reformatted my drive a few times using the same disk with no issues.
    5 years of file sharing can do a number on your harddrives, and it seems my Barracuda has finally died. It came time to replace my drive with a Western Digital Caviar 320GB drive SE16 (WD3200AAKS). I did not predict there would be any issue with replacing my SATA drive. I have another 500GB drive connected to my system used for only storage and the computer recognized it at once.
    So I formatted my WD HD, to NTFS and made it active. Then I installed it in my computer disconnecting my other 500GB drive. I ran windows installation with my Windows CD (which I have used many times and I keep it in pristine condition).
    I found that after I hit F6, and it gave me a selection of SATA drivers to use (used xp), it did not not see that drive was there when asking which drive to format (I repeated this many times).  I set about making a new SATA boot disk thinking that my pre-used one had gone bad.
    http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=565
    VIA VT8237(R) SATA RAID Driver (For floppy driver)
    I followed the disk directions having already done it before. When I tried to install with my new drivers, I got this error.
    "File\I386\NT5\viamraid.sys caused an unexpected error (4096) at line 2108 in d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c."
    Now i KNOW my windows instillation CD is good, but just in case I used another windows CD and got the same error.
    The only idea I can come up with is that I upgraded the bios to much and now it is having issues. My bios version is:
    AMIBIOS A6702VMS V2.2 030405
    SATA378 TX2plus(tm) Bios Version 1.00.103026
    Does anyone have any ideas of what I can try? I have done all the easy stuff I could think off like try different cables, and plug in my SATA to the second sata port and not the first. I have run out of ideas.
    The only list thing I could try was connecting my sata drive to the computer using a SATA to USB adapter, and finding the partition in windows through that way. For some weird reason windows will see USBs in the computer but not installed Sata drives. I am thinking I will install windows using the USB device and then try plugging in the drive directly. I have no idea if it will work.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you so much for your help.
    I tried your two versions of your drivers, "VIA PIDE&SATA RAID.rar" "Promise 20378 S-ATA RAID.rar" neither of them worked well (I selected the "VIA RAID Controller(Windows XP"). I received a slightly different version of the last error "File\I386\NT5\viamraid.sys caused an unexpected error (4096) at line 2108 in d:\xpclient\base\boot\setup\oemdisk.c."
    The (4096) was a different number.
    I had used 4 different (yet old) disks, trying to get it to work. None of them did so until i tried it once more. This last time worked, it saw and used the drivers. I was able to get into the disk selection screen, and set to format the disk. As it started formatting (Quick), windows said that there was something wrong with the "Disk or CD". It then asked for me to install the SATA combo drivers. I let it detect the drivers I was using, and it kept saying something was wrong. I tried it 3 more times, and the last time it held and copied the files from the CD, to start windows.
    It is obvious to me that I have either a bad disk, CD, Disk drive, or CD drive. This is quite possiblly my last format before I make my new computer. Thank you very much for your help. I would have had to start my voodoo magic tricks to get it to work.
    Crappy floppy cause that
    Happend to me many times as well, when you receive the error take out diskette and re-insert it, then load drivers again until works.
    Of course simple solution is just replace the floppy drive to avoid "voodoo magic tricks"
    Or best solution do a slipstream XP installation and integrate the drivers which you need in XP installation.
    >>> Slipstreaming Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Create Bootable CD<<<
    >>> Slipstreamed Windows XP CD Using SP2<<<

    You are done well

  • K8T Neo FISR: Major problem

    I have the specs of my system in the signature.  I have been having problems with this system for a few weeks now and I have been unable to get it to post with a few exceptions.  First, it wouldn't post at all, and it turns out I had a bad CPU, so I RMA'd it back to NewEgg.  When I received the new CPU, it posted for a few minutes and then it just turned off.  It did not want to post after it turned off anymore.  I RMA'd the motherboard and recently received a new one and I also ordered a new Power Supply(listed in the signture) because of the 12v line ordeal.  
    When I received the new motherboard, I installed it along with the new power supply: the board posted and I went into the bios to configure the memory according to the specs given by corsair and also changed the DDR voltage to 2.7.  When I did that and saved the bios settings, the board powered off.  Since that instant I have been unable to power the motherboard.  When I click on the power button nothing happens at all.  If I remove the 4 pin connector, the CPU fan would spin for about 5 seconds before turning off.  The fan on the Radeon 9800 PRO would not spin at all.  I have been only trying to post with only the minimum, meaning just the CPU, RAM, and video card.  I cleared the bios via the jbat jumpers and still nothing.  I also tried an old samsung PC2700 and nothing.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Yes, I did reset the cmos jumpers, but still nothing.  I did try two other power supplies and I'm still not getting any power flowing.  The only way the cpu fan turns on, if I remove the 4 pin cable from the motherboard, but nothing else happens--not even the fan of the video card turns on.  I also tried a different video card and another stick of ram, and that didn't solve anything.  I applied for MSI RMA number, so I'll just be sending back the board.  It just seems like a defective board.  This is actually the second board that seem to have come damaged, which is making me feel I'm though I'm cursed when it comes to this board.  I've taken all safety accounts when dealing with these boards, so I see no reason as to how I could have damaged them.  All my components are in working order also.

  • MSI K8T Neo FIS2R - Memory problem???

    I have bought myself a second stick of ram for my computer, being careful to make sure it was exactly the same brand and model.
    In spite of this I now get random bluescreen errors of varying types, the first was PFN_LIST_CORRUPT and the latest:
    PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA
    STOP: 0x00000050 (0xC5AD0D7C, 0x0000000, 0x8050298A, 0x0000000)
    Is the new ram incompatible?? this makes no sense though.....   ???

    I have tried switching ram sticks around but no luck there
    Got three BSOD's yesterday, no specific error just STOP: blah blah blah when trying to burn a CD and then after that just when using IE.....
    ........and then I played call of duty 2 for 3hours without a single problem 
    Today when trying to run FS2 open I got two IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL errors (with no driver mentioned)
    Anyway, I have been doing some research on socket 754 athlon 64's, and I found some interesting info from AMD:
    Where MSI says that the board supports that config at DDR400. so the board supports it but the CPU doesn't! what is the point of that??
    I tried running at DDR333 but the CPU stuck at 1.8GHZ (150FSBx12) according to everest 
    Is it possible at all to run two sticks of Double sided ram at DDR400? surely someone has done it and has it working....
    Another thing, after the first IRQL error my computer hung at detecting the CD-RW drive and I had to turn off and on again  ???

    Do you have LiveUpdate installed (or whatever it is called)? When I was using the onboard sound (moved to an Audigy2 ZS) the sound would go once Live Update had searched the web for available BIOS/Driver updates.  I only had mine set weekly but sods law meant that I ended up with no sound for a Rugby World cup I had recorded on my AIW pro (aaaarrgghh). It would only come back with a reboot.
