Are you using CoreCenter to overclock? What version is your BIOS? Post system specs.
Quote from: tahuru on 25-May-05, 14:24:45
the overclocking is done solely in bios.
Anyway, there seems to be different problems relating to waking up from sleep, I know that Cool'n'Quiet would stop working when I would wake up from sleep. I'll try overclocking mine a bit and I'll get back to you.
Also, check that the Save/Clear CMOS jumper is in the right position.

    Hello
    K8N Neo2 Platinum resets my overclock to default speed when waking up from sleep... the overclocking is done solely in bios.
    I have a Winnie 3200+ running @ 2.4Ghz with 1.45V .. when waking up .. the Vcore remains the same but the clock sets itself to 2.0Ghz.
    What am I doing wrong .. or it is something wrong with my board.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello,
    In the BIOS you must set the FSB:DRAM ratio to 1:1.
    Set the HTT (hypertransport Ratio to x4)
    Set the CPU ratio to x4 (just too see if it will work.)
    Set the FSB to 250Mhz
    Set the Vcore to 1.45v.
    Set the memory timings to SPD (or default values for DDR500)
    Set the memory voltage to 2.7v, 2.75v or 2.8v.
    Save and exit
    Then let it boot from the memtest bootdisk.
    Use memtest to see if it is ok, test for a long time, over 1 hour.
    http://www.memtest.org/download/1.55.1/memtest86+-1.55.1.floppy.zip
    Tight timings and high FSB is even better 
    I have the same problem I can go as high as fsb 219 without tweaking anything but the FSB. My system is about the same only my ram is ddr 400 so what should my mem volt and timg should be set to?

    Yes, it will fit and it is working very good
    The only problem I could think of is that higher memory modules, like the Corsair Pro with leds) might not fit ... with "normal" modules there is no problem.
    thanks!
    now I'm a happy boy
    I have "normal memory modules" so thats cool :p

    Hi,
    Can you start from a floppy disk, or at least get into BIOS (you probably will need a new install of Windows)?
    Try to start with a simple configuration: FDD, HDD, 1 stick of memory, video card - remove the rest for now ... reseat the components that you will use (starting with video card, then memory, finally CPU - check thermal grease) and check connections.
    Try with the board out of the case (shortcircuiting may occur when the board is not placed correctly, check the stand-offs under the board)
    Let us know how things are going!

  • MOVED: K8N Neo2 Platinum - V1.B BIOS - Cannot enter setup

    This topic has been moved to BIOS.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=92975.0

    hello Colin,
    What you are seeing when your screen goes black with the cursor flashing at the top is a legacy from the old DOS booting days. If you had an older motherboard that still offerred ISA slots, you could put in an old ISA video card and see what the system BIOS is trying to tel you. If I remember right it's message would be the same as your D bracket.
    Can't help you much except suggest that you keep asking MSI tech support for assitance. They should be able to seng you a new CMOS chip to insert in your board at no cost since you use their recommended procedures. They have done so for others. Just make sure you are not overly  aggressive when dealing with them.
    If this does not work  then see theis web site and  consider bying a new chip for your board. http://www.flashbios.org/catalog/index.php?cPath=22&language=en&osCsid=975ee1b8be41cdf61aa2feba67385bb2
    Good luck,

    But is it the HDD itself that fails at the higher frequency?  Or is it the HDD controller on the motherboard that fails?  What about DVD drives?  And what if the HDD is SATA 300 instead of SATA 150?

    If you intall windows with only Hd Sata 200 Giga Seagate in Sata 3 connected
    you dont need to F6
    if you install XP With Both HD Connected then you need to F6 x 2 and load both Raid & Sata drivers.
    the error you are getting Quote
    Boot System Failed. Put Another disk and press Enter.
    seems to be because you havnt got a bootable disc in the CD
    This causes the boot process to halt
    Try changing Quote
    The priority to boot the devices is:
    Floppy
    Cd-Rom
    Hard Disk (don't have scsi or sata to choose in bios)
    to :-
    Floppy
    Hard Disk
    Cd-Rom
    and see if that works any differently

    MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM NOT OVERCLOCK FRIENDLY AS PROMISED

    Quote from: ALFA on 25-April-05, 10:09:30
    This mobo is good but its false advertisment to call it overclock friendly.
    People are having problems getting ther FSB over 220 and this is a overclocking mobo.
    MSI K8N SLI PLATINUM (really disappointed over the mobo)
    POINT OF VIEW GEFORCE 6800ULTRA @450/1300  (Really good)
    Crusial ballistiX PC4000 (Great memory)
    Aspire 520watt 35amp (strong as hell)
    Dear Friend don't get angry too quickly. I also have a socket 939 Athlon 3000+ Winchester. In start MSI K8N SLI Platinum was not allowing me to OC more than 220FSB in BIOS. Although in Windows I can OC it to 2.16 GHZ with NVidia NTune. It's 240FSB. You are facing the same problem that I was facing. Its 219MHZ Bug for Winchester CPUs.
    All you need to do is when you are OC'ing more than 219 MHZ, just set you HT multiplier to 1x and you can go upto 260MHZ FSB via BIOS. When you get to the desktop of windows use any software to set the multiplier back to 4x or 5x (depends on how much you OC). Nvidia Ntune is a good software for this purpose. Plz keep in mind that Winchester cores are not too much overclocking friendly CPUs. They won't go beyond 2.4 GHZ and instability is bound to happen after 2.3 GHZ.

    [Athlon64] Msi K8N Neo2 Platinum problems with Patriot Ram

    First post, whoo hooo   
    So what version of BIOS are u running?  I recently installed the two newest versions 2.0 and 2.1, and they both give me problems.  With the latest (2.1) I'm getting the same error as you.  Returning back to previous BIOS fixed my problems.  Oh yeah, my RAM is Kingston Hyper-X, so i don't think thats your problem.
    Let me know if you fix it, thats why im here, .

    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (HELP!)

    Well we now know the motherboard... what about the rest of the components in the computer. When including specs on the powersupplies (post both the 400w and the 480w) include max amps for the 3.3v 5v and 12v rails. This info can be found on a sticker on the side of the PSU.
    Do you have the D-Bracket installed? If so where is it hanging at?
    Good Luck

  • K8N-Neo2 Platinum pauses for 25 sec at boot, nvatabus.sys the problem?

    All,
    After POSTing normally and starting to load Windows XP, my system halts at the Windows XP splash screen for about 25 seconds. Nothing happens, no disk activity or anything, the system just sits there.
    I used Microsoft's Bootvis utility to see what was happening. It turns out that the nvatabus.sys driver consumes 100% CPU at boot for 25 seconds then the system continues to boot normally. Does anyone else see anything like this?
    I am running the latest nForce drivers from MSI. The driver in question:
    NVIDIA nForce3 Serial ATA Controller 2.6
    Driver Date 6/3/2004
    c:\WINDOWS\System32\DRIVERS\nvatabus.sys 5.10.2600.0446
    Windows XP SP1
    I have a RAID1 of two 160 GB SATA drives. The mirror is healthy and working fine.
    After booting the system is rock-solid stable, no problems there. It's just this unexplained pause at boot. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

    ok check it out guy's this thing drove me insane all night last night and most of today. I was ready to return everything and give up. But alas all is not lost. Here is the rundown on what i just did.
    My Equipment:
    Athlon 64 3800+(w/ stock fan)
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Socket 939
    2X512 Corsair TWINX1024-3200XLPRO ( with the cool led's )
    2 SATA HD (1 Maxtor Diamond10 300 GB w/ 16mb cache, 1 Segate 160GB w/8mb cache)
    PP&C 425 ATX Deluxe
    Radeon 9700 Pro ( cat 4.8 )
    Audigy2 ZS
    Sony Floppy
    Sony 8x52x52x32 DVD Rewrite
    I have been reading and reading just like all you guy's. On a few websites i would pick up bits and pieces on what to try. Heres what i did. Upon Boot up i entered the bios. I then went to Cell Soft and adjusted my timings for my memory. I was at 2.5 not 2.75. I then set my speed down to 166. Exited and restarted. Big mistake everything ri=uns terrible slow and my expensive DDR 400 memory was showing up correctly at 333. Rebooted again entered the bios. reset my speed to 400. Then set the Overclock feature to manual. Set my timings at 2,2,5,2 200 and 2.75 volts. After saving settings and exiting I then turned off the computer. As per some other suggestions I moved my Audigy2 to the bottom most pci slot the one above the orange slot. I moved my memory to slots 2 and 4. I moved my SATA to slots 3 and 4. I rebooted went into the bios again and setup all my voltages. CPU was Auto, AGP was max yellow setting. Memory still at 2.75. I disabled the onboard serial and parrallel ports. Rebooted
    Fearing the worst,
    5 seconds, 10 seconds, windows screen loging prompt. There was nothing wrong at all. It rebooted effortlessly. It re found my Audigy card and wanted driver but that was it. I am going to reboot a few more times and then run sisandra to test. I hope some of this will help you. I post in a few after some of those reboots.

  • Reboot problem with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum and 250 GB SATA HDD

    I'm having a "reboot" problem with my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum. After turning my system on it will run without any problems, until I reboot. After a reboot it will always hang after the initial windows-bootscreen. The HDD-light will remain on. If, instead of going into Windows XP SP2, I try to enter the BIOS after a reboot (DEL) the system will also hang (blank screen with blinking cursor).
    It started doing this after I installed the Maxtor 250 GB SATA disk. Before, I didn't have problems rebooting. If I disconnect the Maxtor drive I can reboot and enter BIOS and Windows each and every time. Reconnecting the Maxtor 250 GB SATA drive will return the reboot problem. I always have to use the power swith to get a working system again. It's not enough to do a hard reset (this has the same effect as rebooting).
    Here are the details of my system:
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (BIOS 1.B)
    Athlon 64 3200+ (Winchester, 2 Ghz, 512 KB cache, stepping DH-D0)
    2 x Kingston KVR400X64C25/512, 512 MB, DDR, PC3200 (2,5-3-3-8 T1)
    Asus Radeon AX800 Pro (256 MB)
    PSU Antec Sonata 380W
    HDD Maxtor 80Gb ATA (6Y080P0, Pri Master)
    HDD Seagate 250Gb SATA (ST3200822AS)
    HDD Maxtor 250Gb SATA (6V250F0 - jumpered in SATA150 mode, the mobo wouldn't work with the drive in SATA300-mode)
    Aopen COM5232/AAH Pro CD-Writer ATA (Sec Master)
    BenQ DW1640 DVD-Writer ATA (Sec Slave)
    P.S. The NVidia IDE-drivers are NOT installed. System is not overclocked.

    Thank you for all the replies. Upgrading to the latest Nvidia IDE-drivers did not fix my problem. Moving to other SATA-ports did not help either. Upgrading the mobo's BIOS is not really an option (I'm using one version before the most recent and there isn't anything in the fixlist of the latest BIOS).
    Now I've contacted Maxtor for (hopefully) a new firmware.

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum 54G BIOS problem

    I recently bought a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum-54G mainboard with W7025NMS v1.3  092204 revision of BIOS.
    AMD Athlon64 3000+ 939 is installed on the mainboard, with 2x512 GEIL PC3200 memory modules in dual channel configuration working on default frequency of 200MHz. CPU is recognized correctly as AMD Athlon64 3000+ on startup.
    Mainboard’s BIOS seems to be corrupted. In Cell Menu options, in the upper left part of the screen (printed blue) are processor and DDR working timings:
    Current CPU Clock 1810MHZ, Current DDR Clock 200MHz.
    Aggressive Timings and Dynamic Overclocking values are [Disabled] (processor working on its defaulf settings); Spread Spectrum is [Disabled] while all DRAM Configuration settings are set to [Auto].
    While entering HT frequency settings, (locked to [x5])  there are no other values to select – empty, and there is no way to leave it (ESC doesn’t help, the only thing possible to do is to reset the computer by pressing the Reset button on the chassis), but  the HT frequency settings were enabled when I loaded Fail-Safe settings, offering [1x], [1.5x], [2x], [2.5x], [3x], [4x], [5x].
    Adjust CPU Ratio settings offer only [StartUp], [x4]~[x9] values, but as I understood by reading the manual there should be [StartUp], [x4]~[x20].
    CPU Voltage, Memory Voltage and AGP Voltage are set to default.
    CPU-Z, as well as SiSoft Sandra 2004 and SiSoft Sandra 2005 and MSI CORE CELL show that processor works at a core speed ~1005MHz, showing multiplier locked on x5.0 and HTT locked at ~200MHz, while the voltage is ~1.05V!
    I downloaded the latest BIOS revision (v1.4), did the BIOS flash, but the problem remains!
    Anybody, help!

    CPU Ratio settings
    AMD64 CPOU's have a lock on CPU ratios which varies according to the specification of the chip. therefore the multiplier available in your bios stops at the max multiplier allowed by amd for your cpu.
    As an example i'm running a 3200 754 which has a maximum muliplier of 11 so that is the max i see in bios.

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum - satisfied except cold boot

    My new build is doing well except for the near-famous cold-boot problem. When the box has been off for a while, I hit the power button, fans & drives spin up, the optical blinks a couple times, but no video or POST. The LEDs look like 4 green, but 2 seem dimmer, as if they're just reflecting the light from the other 2. A 5-second hiit on the power button shuts it down, hit it again and it fires right up, but stops during post with the message that it's in safe mode and to reset my (nonexistent) OCs. From this point I can F1, boot up, and run for hours. No probs unless it's off for a while. I have seen the problem since early in the build, when I powered up outside the case with just 1 stick of RAM and the LEDs (no vid or drives).
    Searching the board shows a lot of people having the problem, but nobody seems to have a solution, so I went to the support site to check the knowledge-base and FAQs. Interesting to find there that A64 boards do not appear to exist. No FAQ, no option to spec socket 939 or 754 to search the KB.
    Maybe if we get a number of us with the problem to post specs & observations in one thread we can spot a pattern?
    I have noted that I can't just do an on-off-on. It has to spend 20-30 seconds in the lockup mode before cycling the power results in a successful boot.
    BTW all, some really nice things are happening with RAM prices lately. I got my 2 gigs for US$190 delivered.

    I'll give the bios a shot, but the idea of using the HT to slow the box down and then speeding it back up again in Winders...
    Putting HT to 4 does not slow down the box... Especially if ur FSB is over 200 (if ur overclocking) like in my case: FSB=260mhz, I must put down the HT to 4 in order to run everything perfect. HT standard is 200x5=1000, in my case its 260x4=1040... as long as HT is between 800-1200... I believe there is no real time performance loss as long as u have STABILITY. I have seen a lotta people in this forum fixing stability problems just by reducing the HT when they overclocking... some cases even to HT=3.
