Live Update 3 / Core Center Neo2-FIS2R

Ever since I update to Live Update 3 (from 2) and updated to the newest version of Core Center, I've been getting error messages like "Hardware monitor not found" or "Service not started."  I usually get two or three error messages.  This made my computer restart erratically.  When I uninstall the software it stops, and then starts again when I reinstall it, even if I install the old version.

Hello,
I had exactly the same problem !
I tried to uninstall LiveUpdate and CoreCenter, then install PCAlert4 but without success (error message like "No hardware monitor"). After that I have uninstalled PCAlert4 and installed MBM then it's works fine !

  • Core Center Temps Reversed?

    With my recent Live Updates, I updated Core Center to Ver. 1.7.3.0.  Maybe I'm wrong, but the reported CPU and System temperatures now look reversed.

    ok here is what i've found out or at least seems to be true.  The temps are all messed up in both bios and core center.  I tried bios 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, core center all I could try was the initial one that came with cd (seems to give same readouts I got with all the versions previous to the current one) and the current version.
    I dont believe 3.6 reverses the temps, with all the bios's and corecenters the ambient/sys temp remains within one C.  The core temp is the only thing that really changes.
    Idle core temps with new core center
    3.6 core 24C
    3.5 core 45C
    3.4 core 27C
    3.2 core 27C
    Idle core temps with previous core center
    3.6 core 28C
    3.5 core 50C
    3.4 core 32C
    3.2 core 32C
    the temps from the older core center and bios 3.2/3.4 seemed to give me published real world expected temps.  3.5 went way high and it seems that the newer core center may have been made to adjust for the high temp by compensating and bringing it down some since the newer core center lowers all the temps compared to the older versions.  3.6 seems to have over corrected cpu temp and combind with the newer core center which is also lowering temps you get really low temps.  I went back to older corecenter and the 3.2 bios and now my readings are around 31C idle (26C ambient) up to around 50C if i push it.

  • Neo2 defaut FSB frequency , live update and core center issues

    Hi,
    This is the point : i bought a brand new 915P Neo2 last week,
    out of the box results : Windows XP SP2 install is OK right
    now, Graphics Card is working properly but the system is
    still unstable !
     --> I decided to install MSI core center but while running
      pc freezes !
    ---> tested MSI live update, packets download is working
     but the tool is still unstable and pc freezes .... while testing system...
    ---> tested a small utility (third party) from intel website
    to compute P4 target and actual frequency
    this tool reports that my p4 is running at 3.24 Ghz,
    I double checked and found that defaut FSB was set to 810 Mhz
    even after hardreset and bios safe mode, CPU is running at 203 Mhz * 16 = 3248 Mhz
    I really dont understand why reset value has been set to 203 Mhz ?? why not 200 Mhz
    so MSI 915 P  defaut setting is 1 % overclocking strategy ?
    the bios setup is not really taken into account ??
    have you ever pointed out this problem with defaut frequency ? is this a problem ?
    what is your opinion regarding MSI utilities ?
    I have a lot of random pc freezes, too many for this board !
    all advices are welcome !!

    I don't usually recommend bios updates, but you should seriously consider it if you can get the board to run stable.
    Test your ram with  Memtest86. This should give you an indication if you can do a flash from DOS, plus it will test the ram for you.
    Try setting your FSB to 201. On the 865/875 boards that will hold the setting. 203 is typical of MSI and other manufacturers, but it really isn't high enough to be considered overclocking, and certainly isn't high enough to cause problems. But it keeps them in the race with the others when the reviewer's determine which board is best by looking at the decimal places.
    You don't list your power supply data. Power and ram are the usual culprits, with heat being another.

  • Problems with Live Update 3 and Core Center

    Hi All
    I have just put together the system listed below. On the first boot-up screen "Live Update 2" is displayed on the top right of screen. I installed "Live Update 3"  from the Drivers & Utilities  CD supplied with the Mobo. On rebooting, the computer crashes straight after loading Windows. The problem occurs even after I downloaded the latest version.
    I also installed Core Center from the same CD. This works fine until I try to switch user. It then comes up with the error "No Hardware Monitor Found" and crashes. The same thing happens after downloading the latest version.
    What could be causing this?
    Many thanks.

    Upgrade BIOS and see what happens...

  • K8t neo fis2r - core center not functional after installing sound card

    Hi.  I had been using Core Center with Dynamic Overclocking enabled and all was well.  When idle, my amd64 3000+ (2.0ghz), was running at 800mhz.  Under load it would go up to 2100mhz.  But yesterday, I installed an Auzentech x-plosion sound card and after i installed the driver, the dynamic overclocking stopped working, my cpu is running at max all the time.  (The variable fan speed function still works). 
    I checked the IRQ and there is no conflict, I uninstalled the amd64 driver and core center and reinstalled.  Still does not work.  I uninstalled the auzentech driver, rebooted, and cancelled new hardware wizard.  Then the variable cpu frequency feature worked.  Once I install the driver for the auzentech, dynamic oc stops working.  I was thinking to try another pci slot but it appears to be a software issue rather than a hardware issue.  The new version of Core Center does not work with my board even though msi says it's compatible so I'm still using the one that always worked.  The amd driver is the latest and also always worked.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem, perhaps using the auzentech sound card with this board and Core Center?  Or does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hey guys, I just went to AMDs site to get the dashboard utility mentioned and in the readme, it stated that in XP, the power option needs to be set to portable/laptop.  But in the past, I read that it needed to be set to "always on" and that it is, in fact, what I had it set to before when cool n quiet was working.  Now I change it to "portable/laptop" and it works and set to "always on" doesn't work anymore.  So now Core Center reports I'm at 33c @800mhz at no load.   I don't get it???  I'll have to try an alternate utility just to verify that is indeed working.
    btw, QV, I checked system properties, (right-click my computer > properties, or "system" in control panel) and on the "general" tab, it indicates an AMD64 3000+, 2.0GHz.  But I'm pretty certain the clock frequency is dropping now as reported by core center because of the decrease in the cpu temp at idle.  Am I looking in the right place in XP?  I have XP pro, SP2
    Again, thanks for the input and Happy New Year  

  • Core Center Update

    I just updated my Core Center from version 1.6.1.0 to version 1.6.2.0 and now the FSB on the Cool & Quiet/Core Center shows 200 mhz where b/4 it was showing 400 mhz. Thats the only thing I did. I double checked the Bios to make sure it was still set to ddr400 which it was. So now what?

    I beleive you are getting things mixed up. Core Center should have never shown 400mhz for the FSB. What Core Center displays is the Front Side Bus speed along with the multiplier (x10), not memory speed. So if it was showing 400mhz before (which was wrong), then its fixed now. If your FSB speed WAS running at 400mhz, then you'd be roasting marshmallows over your comp.  
    Your memory settings do not affect the FSB speed. Even though your memory is rated at ddr400, it still runs at 200 mhz (cpu-z does this), thats because it has to double it in order to run at 400. Thats the whole concept behind DDR. Same thing with ddr266, ddr333, etc..

  • 915P Neo2 - Live Update - IAA

    I have a problem with Live Update on my 915p Neo2.
    Live Update reports the latest IAA version as 4.5.0.6515 the installed version as 4.5.0.6515 but the actual installed version is 4.7.0.6815.
    I have updated IAA separately outside of Live Update, but Live Update should show the installed version correctly as 4.7.0.6815 but it does'nt.
    Anyone?

    I think you need to dig to the device manager and check the real driver version. Live Update may report the wrong thing? Or you actually didn't manage to install the later version?

  • 915P-Neo2 Platinum - Live Update Crashes

    Is anyone else having trouble loading MSI's "Live Update", especially "Live Monitor" on the 915P Neo2 Platinum?  Every time I load it the entire system collapes in the Blue Screen of Death upon reboot.
    I've tried loading Live Update from both the enclosed "Drivers & Utilities" diskette and from the MSI Website where the latest version of Live Update (I guess) is located.  
    Both crash my new system the same.  It just keeps looping at the Boot-Blue Screen-CRASH!-Boot-Blue Screen - CRASH!
    The only way to recover is to do a Restore in Safe Mode.
    Very disapponted with the 915P Neo2 Platinum board in general, i.e., the above reason and the slow, ragged - even sloppy - boot.  
    And if there is any advantage in these high-priced PCI-Express videocards that justifies the money, I can't find it.  My old 875P Neo (signature system) smokes this new 915P even with its ungodly high-priced DDR2-675 memory.
    Stay clear of 'em.

  • MSI KT8 Neo2 F board, upgraded cpu and used MSIs Live Update, now unstable BSODs

    I've had this mobo for almost 2 yrs now with an AMD 3500+ cpu and recently upgraded that to the FX-55. To do that, it required using MSIs Live Update and needed newer chipset drivers. It has the latest bios according to Live Update.
      It took a few attempts but finally booted w/o BSODs and has been running for over 1 week BUT is still not right. It's sometimes unstable and will crash (BSOD) just by starting up a browser. I had the bios settings at "optimized" and have tryed a few other changes but so far, I'm not gaining. Last night I couldn't keep it running more than a few minutes w/o it crashing.
      I have the MSI manual for my board and plan to spend some more time playing with it tonight but might anyone here have any ideas? It's not running hot (reads 50C) and was stable before with the 3500+. I've tryed "Fail Safe" bios settings too but nothing's better that way either.
       I'm hoping that someone here has a few ideas?
    Perhaps related?
      After initially running this with the new cpu, I'd see the "searching for MAC address" message and it'd hang there on boot. Someone told me that was because it was trying to do a network boot, selected in the boot sequence SO I've unselected that and that's when things got worse (oddly as it shouldn't IMO). One can select the 3+ boot devices (floppy, USB, CD-DVD rom, HDD) and it use to see the HDDs (2) before but now I'm not (only floppy and CD-DVD rom) and if I unselect the ethernet option (boot other devices), it fails to boot at all and says "insert floppy" as if I was installing Win98 way back when (running XP Pro btw). Something's definately not right with my bios selections.

    Let's go back to basics here for a bit. Start by posting your complete specs in your signature like we do. Make sure that your PSU values are also in there.
    Let's also look at some tests to help determine where the issue is. I would recommend Memtest86+, OCCT, Prime95, and 3DMarks as a great first series. Also get CPUz and lets see what it shows for CPU and Memory.
    If we can get an idea where things begin to fall apart then maybe we can determine if this is driver, hardware or some other issue without having to make the flash happen first. The reason why I am avoiding the flash at this point is that if things are mostly working maybe there is some other cause than Bios. We know that some FX's work with 3.x and some that don't. So I would like to try a bit of checking before we dive into a flash that could cause more issues than it solves if we get this wrong. As things are mostly working now we can assume at least for the moment that maybe the flash is not needed. If we don't see anything during testing that sheds some light then maybe we go ahead with the flash.
    That is if your willing to take some time to try and sort this out and maybe learn some stuff in the process. It is of course your call and we will respect whichever decission you make here.

  • Bios update 865PE Neo2 Fis2R

    Just setup new system

    First time in setup of Bios I noticed the cpu temperature
    was 52 C.  What is normall range of operation??
    I thought over 60 C was cause for concern and would damage the processor!!
    I would like to over clock..
    thanks,  so far looks like a good system. 8)

    Msipcfixer911,
     Yes it is reasonable to want the latest bios for your new motherboard.
    But 1.4 is not the best bios. I would advise you to do some research before upgrading.
    As I see it your only choise is between 1.3 and beta 1.52 in known working bios to date.
    Also your cpu temp should drop once you upgrade.
     There is a lot of informative reading in this forum as any
    questions you may have about you motherboard have most likly already been asked and anwsered.

  • Core Center wont show NB temp on K8N Neo2 Platinum

    Is it just me or does core center not show my north bridge temp? i can control the fan speeds for the cpu and nb and it shows my cpu and system temp, but under my nb temp it doesn't show anything.
    Is it because the board doesn't have a sensor for the north bridge? or is core center just screwing up??

    There is no thing as system/case temp sensor on theese mobos.Only cpu & nv-chipset .
    The temperature you see in corecenter as systemp is actually the nvidia chipset temperature .
    Northbridge memory functions is taken over by the athlon 64 , thats why MSI finds it more reasonable to display
    the nv-chip temp as systemp (remember that corecenter is an allround app for all msi mobos) .
    Rest of the nb/sb functions are implemented as a single chip solution in the nvidia chipset chip.
    So the traditional nb/sb solution is no longer existing.
    The Athlon 64 and Athlon 64 FX each features its own integrated memory controller—single-channel for the Athlon 64 and dual-channel for the Athlon 64 FX. Instead of connecting to a traditional northbridge, these CPUs connect to a video card through a HyperTransport Graphics Tunnel. Data intended for components like PCI cards, disk drives, and USB peripherals is then routed through a HyperTransport I/O Hub, which is embedded in the core logic chip.

  • Core Center support

    I have a MS-7025 K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard in a ready built desktop.  Core Center 1.7.1.0 says it does not support my motherboard.  I think this might be becuase the PC manufacturer name appears as the manufacturer of the mainboard in Infoview.  Live Update etc all seem to work fine.
    Anyone know how I can make this work or of an alternative?

     I'm confused!!   I'm wondering if your "ready built" system was once a different system.  Or if an OS image was used from a different system.  
    Have you tried reinstalling?

  • 865PE Neo2 -FIS2R Problems

    I purchased a brand new MSI 865PE Neo2-FISR along with a P4 2.4C(OEM), a Thermaltake Spark 5c cooler and a Corsair XMS Twinpack(TWINX512-3200C2PT) of DDR400 memory.
    The install went fine, the system booted and ran very well right out of the box.  I installed the Live Update program from MSI and it updated itself.  I then used that utility to generate a BIOS flash/recovery disk to update the bios from 1.10 to 1.30.  The update worked fine and I rebooted the machine into Windows XP with no problems.
    I then decided to do some tweaking in the new 1.3 BIOS.  After several unsuccessful memory/Dynamic Overclocking settings the system refused to boot.  I tried the Clear CMOS jumper to reset the defaults but it still would not boot.  I checked the D-Bracket, 3 red 1 green(lower right) which indicates that the video card is not initializing.  I attempted reseating the video card (a PNY Geforce4 TI4200) with no luck, I then replaced that card with a GeForce4 MX440 SE with no luck.  I tried four other video cards, 2 AGP and 2 PCI, with no success.
    At this point I pulled the board out of the system and let it sit with the battery out of the board hoping that the BIOS would reset to default values.  I reinstalled the board with all the hardware and again the same D-Bracket error with no video generated.  I tried different arrangements of memory using the new Corsairs and various other DDR333 & DDR266 again no luck.
    What is going on with this thing?  How could an errant timing change completely lock out the VGA card?  And why can I not clear the settings to allow the card to initialize?
    This thing is getting RMA'd soon if I can't find an answer.
    Anyone have any ideas or similiar troubles? X(

  • Bios Update Problem P35 Neo2 - MS 7345 V 1.1

    Hello
    I've update my board bios because a "hard disk not present" problem and since it I was having several problems:
    I'm running Windows XP SP2 and it takes a very long time to start (in bar and loading windows screen).
    The major problem I have is when power on the computer it is alwayls showing the red font message that says it was a problem overclocking, so everytime I need to go into setup and to save changes whitout changing anything.
    I suspect the bios I've installed is not the right one since the start screen says "MSI Neo Patinum" instead Neo2, but I've used Live Update ... so it should be the rigth one.
    Can anybody help me please with this?

    Three important questions:
    1. Which BIOS Version were you using before the update.
    2. Which Version did you update to?
    3. Did you clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU after the Update?
    1. I'm not sure what bios version come with the board (my misstake) but it was older than I've now.
    2. I'm actually using AMI 1.10 Build Date: 11/10/2008
    3. Yes I did

    - If you have an IDE/PATA Hard Drive:

    .....Is there any other drive connected to the IDE cable (how are the jumper settings for each drive (MASTER/SLAVE/CABLE Select)?
    I Haven't IDE/PATA Hard Drive
    I will tell you the story:
    I bought the computer and I was using the Blue (Marvel) sata port for the hard disk.
    Then a normal day I began to have a very low Windows start so I changed the sata plug to a purple one and the problem disappeared.
    Then I began to have the same problem again so I changed the plug again but problem was there anyway so decide to update bios to 1.8 version.
    The problem come back randomly and sometimes it disappeared just changing the sata port to wich the plug is connected to.
    After that I began to have the "No hard disk present" error and I cleared the CMOS and tried several things until it come to work again.
    Few time ago I noticed that was a newer bios version, so then I used Live Update to update bios and drivers again.
    Now I'm having the "slow" problem again. I'have been trying several configurations and testing programs but I just didn't find anything wrong.
    Edit:
    I'm having the first post problem (overcloking message after power on)
    I also had a very rare issue few time ago when shutdown the pc: few minutes later it power on by It self !! until I have disabled every wake up event from setup.
    I hope you can understand, and thanks again for your help.

    System: MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R MB (BIOS AMI v1.5 061803), Intel 3.0GHz Canterwood Processor, 2GB (4x512MB) Crucial PC3200 Unbuffered ECC DDR400 Memory (CT6472Z40B), ATI AIW Radeon 9700 Pro 8X AGP Video, NVidia GForce 4 PCI Video (2nd Mon), SB Audidgy Platinum Ex Sound, (1) WD 40GB ATA133 Boot Drive, (2) Seagate 120GB SATA Drives RAID 0, (2) Maxtor ATA133 120GB Drives RAID 1, ASUS 16x DVD-ROM, Sony DRU DVD Writer, & Iomeg Zip250 drive.  Running Windows XP Pro.
    Problem: Core Center installs and loads as a process that is using 50% of my processor time instead of as an application.  Can not get the Core Center Utility to run as shown on Page 1-6 of the 875P NEO Series Quick User's Guide.  Have tried downloading updated version 1053. Any suggestions?

    Hi JackH,
    50% during startup load or all the way for the next few hours of usage? Try updating to the latest corecenter...
    All the Best... :D!!!
