K9AG Neo2 Digital and USB

System specs:
AMD 64 X2 6000 (125w)
K9AG Neo2 Digital (bios 1.5)
2x Kingston 1G DDR2 667
MSI Ge force 7800GT
Western Digital 500GB IDE HD
Windows XP Home SP2
Thermaltake 700w PSU
Please excuse any naivety on my part.  I recently purchased the CPU/mainboard mentioned above and am not able to install USB 2.0 from the included CD.  All other drivers (ATI installed first) installed with no problem.  This was a clean install of Windows XP SP1 with SP2 installed immediately after.  BIOS indicates that USB is enabled.  I've tried uninstalling the USB drivers with no change after reboot.  With that, I'm at the end of my comfort zone for any other proceedings and come to the forum for help.  In searching the forums, I found this post https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=112724.0 which I tried to emulate and failed.  I'd appreciate further insight and assistance.  I have another question as well.  The CPU/board was purchased locally at a point when I didn't have access to review or investigate the products on line.  I was told the 6000 125w would work with no problems with the K9AG Neo2 board.  Is this the case and am I risking damage to system?  Thanks for your time.

The 125w version of AMD X2 cpus should not be used with your motherboard.  These cpus overload the power regulation circuit on the motherboard and can cause the motherboard's power regulation circuit to fail.  This may be the cause of the USB problem since the USB controller draws power from the motherboard to run any USB devices.
Check this link for supported cpu.

IMHO, exchange your cpu for the 89w version and see if that cures your problem.

  • Does the K9AG Neo2-Digital supports AMD's virtualization extensions ?

    I want to build a home server based on the K9AG Neo2-Digital.
    This machine should run several XEN Vitual Hardware Machines.
    For this I need a BIOS that supports the AMD's virtualization extensions AMD-V (a.k.a.  Pacifica, SVM).
    Thanks
    Martin

    CPU hardware virtualization only got really worthwhile with Nested Pages in Barcelona (and with ESX 3.5)
    If not Barcelona then I would not depend the choice of a motherboard based on CPU hardware virtualization support.
    Up till Barcelona CPU hardware virtualization is actually slower. It's not. ESX in Workstation shows great impovement WITH AMD-V.
    When more budget is available see if there's a Xen compatiblity list like with ESX. And base your choices around that.
    BTW Running ESX 3.0.2 on "cheap" HP ML115 (DC Opteron) bought @ebay for about 250Euro.
    With 200Euro upgrade to 6GB Kingoston DDR2-800 non-ECC it's running 6VM's including Exchange2007
    I ran XenServer yesterday on the ML115 and runs great out of the box

  • K9AG Neo2 Digital - power but no post 7750+(BE)

    Having a problem with my K9AG Neo2 Digital, Tried booting up after my system build and nothing happens. Power comes on but there is no one home, fans spin but screen does not turn on and no beeps of any kind.
    I have tried booting the system with diferent PSU, Ram, and after clearing the Cmos and with a diferent battery also.
    Board is a K9AG Neo2 Digital
    AMD 7750+ (Black edition)
    PNY 2X2 gigs of ram installed in slots 1 and 2 (have tryed ram in all combonations of all slots)
    650W PSU used
    onboard vid used with everything but the PC speaker and power button disconnected to rule that stuff out
    Jbat 1 is also on the correct pins 1&2
    Have tried different components for everything but the CPU
    Any insight as to what I need to do to get this thing running would be very helpfull.

    OK, i didnt realilize they had made bios chips that small now.... (First PC build in several years)
    numbers are A7368
    second line  AMS150
    and is there any way of flashing the updated bios without installing a CPU that this current bios supports?

    It means that has BIOS ver. 1.50, you need 1.70 or above with this CPU.

    Nop, install supported CPU[borrow from friends] by current BIOS version and update the BIOS.
    Or send mainboard back to reseller to update the BIOS for you

  • K9AG Neo2-DIgital: AMI BIOS v1.7 has no AHCI setting

    Hi folks,
    I recently upgraded my K9AG Neo2-Digital AMI BIOS from its original version (I don't remember what exactly) to v1.7 (the latest available on the MSI website).  Before the upgrade I had three choices for the SATA mode: IDE, ACHI, and RAID.  Now the setting is called "RAID Mode" and the only choices are: IDE, RAID.
    What happened to the AHCI setting?  I've been doing a lot of reading lately, and there doesn't seem to be a shortage of people having problems with AHCI and this board.  Perhaps the latest BIOS simply disables it because of issues?
    Anyway, it's a bit of a bummer because I finally got the latest Vista x64 AHCI drivers from both Microsoft (msahci.sys) and MSI (ahcix64s.sys) slipstreamed into my Vista setup DVD so I could try to do a repair install and get Vista to work in AHCI mode.  I had originally installed it in IDE mode, and thought, hey why not try AHCI (or RAID in the future).  Now I can't even choose AHCI mode in the BIOS.  The original Vista install DVD wouldn't even load if I enabled AHCI in the BIOS - presumably due to the older msahci.sys drivers not supporting the SB600 at all.
    I tried RAID mode, and the RAID BIOS detected my existing Vista drive as 1+0 JBOD, and the Vista install DVD detected the Vista installation on the drive (after loading the ahcix64s.sys driver), but I don't see any Vista repair installation option.  This is off topic, but is there even such a thing in Vista?  I know XP has a repair install that will fix the OS but leave all your apps and settings in tact.
    I get the feeling that Vista and AHCI/RAID were just never meant to work with the SB600 :(
    Any thoughts?

  • Fastest overclock w MSI Neo2 Digital and AMD64 3000+ with OCZ 512 x 2 premier?

    I was looking at a faster CPU and can't be bothered as they are costly and power hungry. I am looking at upgrading my platform with either of an Intel E8500 or the equivalent AMD cpu with an onboard video motherboard with HDMI...
    but, for now, since I can't afford to upgrade at the moment, I was wondering if I could safely up my CPU to 2.4 GHZ or less. I have read people going to 2.4+ GHZ so I figure I could try going to 2.2, 2.3 or 2.4 GHZ. The CPU is literally worth next to nothing, so it's worth a try. Any thoughts? If there are risks in overclocking close to the limits, I'll back it off to 2.2 or 2.3 GHZ, but, I should still see SOME improvement.
    My Motherboard is an MSI Neo2 Platinum.
    thanks,

     You should give the full name of your MB in signature, I assume it's a K8N Neo2 Platinum. Same thing for vid card, GTS without number doesn't say much (example of mine: 9600 GT). It's possible as you said to get it to 2.4 but some systems will OC better than others so you just have to go for it and see what you come up with. Keep an eye on CPU temp when attempting any OC.
     Read what you can about OCing it and then if any more questions or have any problems post back here and we'll help the best we can.

    Hold fire m8
    I'm in the same boat.  I have the Neo2 with 3200 Venice and after applying all correct settings it doesn't work.  CnQ is not yet working with the Venice or San Diego chips.  There should be a new official BIOS update coming out any day that will rectify it, or if you're impatient you could try the 1.9 build 5 (Beta) that enables CnQ to work with Venice chips.
    I would personally recommend waiting for the official update though, because you take your MB's life into your own hands with a Beta.

  • K9Ag Neo2-Digital--) HDMI doesn't work nor sound!!

    Hi there!! I thought I posted a message about 2 hours ago.  However, it seems to have disappeared.  My apologies if I found the wrong forum for my Motherboard.
    I wonder if anyone had any advice about my above mentioned motherboard.
    I cleanly installed Windows XP SP3 recently and the audio card won't install, though it does work on another, older windows installation which didn't have the SP packs built in.
    The second issue is the dual video inputs don't seem to work.  I've tried both the DVI out and the HDMI out to my HD Viewsonic TV.
    Any tips?  If this is the wrong forum, could you please direct to the right one??
    thanks!

    Hi there!! I just had an interesting idea and I wonder if this solve the Realtek Audio problem.
    As I stated above, i have two XP instalations on one computer in two different partitions.  One of them was an older build which i manually upgraded to sp3.  On this version the audio installed properly.  On the second XP, SP3 pack was built in, however, the realtek audio won't instal, no matter how hard i try.
    The idea I have is, is it possible to copy part of the windows files, possibly, the system 32 files and paste them into the Windows folder?
    Do you think anything like that might work?
    thanks

  • K9AG Neo2-Digital Dead? Not Posting but all powered up

    Hmm.
    have just plugged back in my machine after decorating my flat, Vista fired up and went to desktop, I went in the kitchen to grab a drink, came back, and the monitor is on powersaving mode as if it blanked out for the screensaver. Wiggled the mouse, nothing. Hit some keys, nothing. Pressed the power button, nothing. Held the power button down for an eternity - didnt even shut down. No HDD activity, but all fans whirring away and seemingly 'on'.
    Spec:
    600W OCZ PSU
    XFX 260GTX GFX
    4x 1GB 633mhz DDR2
    Phenom II 945 x 4 CPU
    Vista 32 Bit
    Now, the only way to shut down my pc was to turn the power off from the PSU. I switched back on. No post screen, nothing on the display. Sat in sleep mode. However, all fans on, DVD-R light gives a flash, HDD spins up, but no HDD light, nothing. Again, only way to turn off was to turn the PSU off.
    So I go about taking the components out, cleaning, reseating, even took the CPU out and replaced with my original Athlon x 2. Still nothing.
    Anyway, I'm at a loss. Im guessing the motherboard must be fried? Is there anything I can do without having to take it to a specialist to charge me the same money as a new mobo will cost me?

     Is your CPU the 95W or 125W version?
     I suspect that CPU VRM MOSFET(s) may be fried. None of the 125W AM2/AM2+ were supported and then along comes AM3 and they show support for those 125W CPU's. Doesn't make a bit of sense to me, I've seen it on other similar MB's also. Look at the MOSFET's to the left of the CPU and see if any look overheated or burned.
     This is a different MB but is an example of what to look for:

  • Want Mac mini and G4 to share Display and USB keyboard and mouse

    I bought a KVM switch at a local electronics store. I got the only one that claimed Mac compatibility (PPA Int'l). I can't plug the switch into the G4 Cube. No such ports. With the adapter that accompanied my brand new Mac Mini, I can plug the KVM monitor port into the mini's monitor port, BUT that port is currently being used by the Apple DVI-to-ADC adapter I bought so I can connect my Cinema Display to the Mac mini.
    The KVM switch wants 3 ports on each computer: a VGA (monitor) port, the keyboard port, and the mouse port; but the keyboard/mouse connectors are not USB.
    As things stand--without the switch--I can shut down whatever computer I'm working on (mini or Cube), unplug the display from one, connect it to the other, power up and everything's fine. I suppose the only advantage with the KVM switch is being able to power off, switch, then power on without having to move the display plug.
    My QUESTION is, does anybody manufacture a KVM switch I can use between two Macintosh computers to share use of my USB keyboard powered from a USB port on the display, and my USB mouse powered from a USB port on the keyboard?
    Or is the answer NOT to go for the convenience of a KVM switch?
    Does it matter that the mini OS is Leopard, and the Cube OS is Tiger?
    I am heartily impressed with the mini. Setup was over in 5 minutes, and I must say it's fast. Appreciate any help from the experts. --Spot

    I had the same problem, and finally came up with two other alternative solutions.
    First, if you have a recent LCD monitor, it is fairly simple and cheap. The Mini has a digital connection for the monitor. My G4 400 MHz has both digital and analog connections. I have a Samsung 19 inch widescreen monitor that has both a digital and an analog input. I connected the G4 to the monitor using the analog input with my old cable, and connected the Mini using the digital input. The Samsung has a switch that will use either the digital or analog input - very easy.
    Now the keyboard and mouse. I got a 6 foot USB cable with the A plug on one end and B plug on the other, plugged the A plug end into the G4, and ran the cable with the B plug up near the Mini. It helps to keep it close. You already have the keyboard/mouse plugged into the Mini. You simply unplug the keyboard cable from the Mini, and plug it into the B plug from the G4. Switch the monitor from digital to analog, and you have the G4 (remember to start it up). Once you have run the cables, it takes about 10 seconds to make the switch.
    Second, and I use both ways, is to get an inexpensive wired router. I bought a Belkin 4 port router (about $30, I think), got a couple Cat 5 cables, hooked both the Mini and G4 up to the router, along with my internet connection, and have both computers available on one monitor with no physical switching involved. You will need to go to System Preferences/Sharing and turn on Personal File Sharing (there may be another change, but I can't remember it right now).
    When all is hooked up, you go to GO in the Finder Menu Bar (make sure the G4 is booted before doing this) click on either NETWORK or CONNECT TO SERVER, find your G4 and connect. It may be confusing the first few times, but it works great because you have access to both computers at once, along with your internet connection - the best of both worlds!
    I did this in January of this year, so please forgive me if I have forgotten a step somewhere. Ask me and I'll be glad to try to walk you through it. The first solution is the simplest to do, and the second in the most versatile. It's your choice.
    Hope this helps. Just don't be intimidated by it - if I can figure it out, we can get you connected. Good luck!

  • FX-55 and NEO2-FIR and poor performance

    I just upgraded froma NEO-FIS2R using a Athlon 64 3200+ to a NEO2-FIR and a FX-55.
    I got it all working - only after finding out that the Promise controller isn't compatiible with the old Promise controller on the NEO2-FIR.
    First thing I did was do some benching - I spent over $1000 for the FX-55 and NEO2-FIR and was hoping to see some significant performance improvement.
    Unfortuneately I don't see it.  I've loaded the Performance options in the BIOS, made sure that DRAM settings were SPD (I have Mushkin Black LevelII DDR3500 matched dimms - supposed to do 2-2-2-5)
    Any advice at all?  I'm getting less than 5000 in 3DMark05 - and other like systems are over 6000.
    If I go too agressive on memory timing the system is really unstable.
    Are there known issues with the FX-55 and the NEO2-FIR?  Are there any rec'ds?
    Thanks.

    Have you run any program to test the cpu at 100% like super PI or the like?
    People just dont understand 3Dmark is a Graphics benchmark and a synthetic one at that. CPU tests in 3dmark account for so little and there are so many variables that can affect the test like drivers, OS, BIOS settings, programs in the background that  I dont consider 3dmark a  worthy benchmark for machine power except for GPU performance.
    Use something else like SUper PI, or Sandra, to see how much Horseporwer your machine really has.

    hello,
    how can i connect 24VDC to digital input (usb 6008), is it possible with some optocoupler?

    The 6008 is a static DIO, so speed shouldn't be an issue.  Therefore an optocoupler should work.  Just make sure you get one the meets your specs.

  • My iphone external hard drive keeps disconnecting so it tells me I disconnected improperly. I have changed electric cord directly to outlet and usb also direct, and it still happens.

    I store ALL my photos (400 events) on an external 1T hard drive. The hard drive keeps disconnecting so it get a msg telling me I disconnected improperly basically which is a serious no no. I then have to re-start. I have tried connecting directly to the wall outlet, to a super duper surge protector and also have connected the usb (was on a usb port) directly to the computer. But it continues to happen a total nusance. What do I do?

    I would first contact  Seagate's tech support for a possible solution. If that doesn't prove successful then I would try a different product or consider building your own.
    Basic Backup
    Get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    Silver Keeper
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore.  Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files.
    Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined.  It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.)  You can purchase hard drives separately.  This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice.  Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu.  You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
    Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available.  You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports.  I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.)  You can find enclosures at places such as;
    Cool Drives
    OWC
    WiebeTech
    Firewire Direct
    California Drives
    NewEgg
    All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover.  Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver.

  • Journaling External FireWire and USB 2.0 Hard Drives?

    I have several FireWire and USB 2.0 Hard Drives which I have always formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".
    I have been told that journaling is a waste of time with external HDs and, if anything, will slow them down slightly.
    What is the general consensus on this forum?

    Thank you for the swift response Malcolm.
    I better explain why after all these years I am having doubts.
    I am awaiting the delivery of a new piece of kit - a Western Digital HD TV Media player. Basically, you put your hi-def videos (H.264) on a USB 2.0 HD, plug it into the media player which is then plugged into your HDTV.
    I have got hold of the manual which says that the supported USB file systems are "FAT32, NTFS and HFS+ (no journaling).
    So I was wondering whether I will have to format the HD without Journaling to make it work?

  • Firewire and USB ports not recognizing devices

    All of a sudden, some of our MacBooks don't recognize firewire and usb devices. It's weird, but after about a week, one of the MacBooks suddenly started recognizing a video camera, again, but it's troubling because my users need to be able to import movies and pictures from digital devices.
    We ran the updates, and it did not help. We have been using these devices with our MacBooks for over a year, and this happened at the worst possible time. Any ideas?
    I've tried both self- and AC-powered devices, rebooted, powered off and on, made sure everything is plugged in, etc.
