No idea of what my bios is, but I can tell you that from the time I got it (about a year or maybe more) I haven't updated the bios at all.
I have this board http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=k8n_neo4_platinum

K8N Neo4 Platinum power on/off problem

Hi all.
I just got a K8N Neo4 Platinum, and have a problem with switching it on and off.
When I switch on the mains to the PC PS(before turning the PC on), the fans start turning, and I hear disks spinning up. The PC power LED is off, but the HD LED is on. There is no picture on the monitor.
If I then switch the PC on, it boots normal, power LED is on, and the HD LED is normal. The PC is working absolutely normal, with winXP.
But when I turn the PC off again, the fans remain on, power LED goes off, HD LED on. And I can't switch the PC on again, till I have toggled the mains supply.
I have tried measuring what comes on the power connector. It looks like there is still 12V when the PC is supposed to be switched off. Don't know if that is right.
There is also 5VSB and PWR OK, but I think they are supposed to be there.
I hope I have been able to explain the problem in understandable english.

That the comp turn itself on when the different front side connectors etc isnt in, i dont think that's a problem with ur PSU.
Same thing happend to me when i forgot to plug them in a couple of days ago. I got a Tagan 480W, and its flawless!
Have u ever considered unplugging everything, and doing it from the beginning? ......
I have tried from the beginning many times, but it's always failing.
BUT..... Today I got a new K8N Neo4 Platinum from a vendor next door to where I work, and it works perfectly
I had a suspicion that the motherboard was causing the fail, but couldn't be sure without trying a new one. Now the first one is going back to the shop where I bought it.
Thanks to all for all the suggestions you have come up with.

Hey Guys,
I fail to see the Logic in "don't buy dual core now... it’s too expensive… wait till the price drops in 2006." You don't HAVE to buy dual core... but since it's here... there really is no reason not to. You still need a processor now to get you through till 2006... So that means spending $300 (CND + Tax) on a 3200+ and then in 2006... Spending another 400 (maybe even 500) on a 4400+... so in the end you'll still have spent close to $800.
By buy dual core now... you get to use it NOW!... so you also have to take that into consideration. I've already returned my San Diego 4000+ and waiting till June 12th for the 4400+ to get in stock. I don't think I’ve seen anyone in here using a dual core with the 1.4 BIOS, so I’m not sure if 1.4 will work at all... But everyone seems to be say that 1.5 will become official in early June... with dual core support and a VDIMM of up to 3.1v
Just my $.02
Point well taken, but add this, what is going to change between now and then? I like to set back read reviews and watch them work out the bugs before I buy. All to often we get burned buying to quick in the Pc Market. And last point "use it NOW" may I ask on what? Now I just through that in so give me some links to read, because iam not uptodate on Dual core except the price.

MOVED: K8N Neo4 Platinum - Overclocking Troubles - Memory Timings (2T)

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
K8N Neo4 Platinum - Overclocking Troubles - Memory Timings (2T)

i had a similar problem at first, my system wouldnt post even at shockingly low overclocks, like 225 fsb, anyway i noticed that the 1,5 bios automatically set some strange timings for my ram, cant remember exactly what but when i went through the timings manually then i could clock up to 280 or so. This is on 166mhz memlock, i still cant get a decent overclock using the 150 memclock or anything lower.
Contacted MSI but the 'technical support' department, although quick to respond, seemed absolutely clueless when it comes to overclocking.

RMA'ed K8N Neo4 Platinum board, no sound on the new board's output

Hi Folks,
I just got back the replacement for the K8N Neo4 Platinum boad I sent in a month ago. The good news -- my mirrored RAID array came back up and my WinXP/SP2 setup looks fine. The bad news -- my front speaker output doesn't put out any sound. My Amplified 2.1 speaker set was plugged into my older machine and working fine, and I just swapped the speaker cable into the green output plug on my MB, and no sounds comes out. Sounds was working on the previous MB which I sent in for RMA, so the software on my HDD's should have been set correctly to generate sounds on the new MB.
First, any suggestions on how to get the sound outputs working? Second, any pointers on how to diagnose what's going on? Should I be seeing "Realtek '97" (or something like that) for the playback and recording devices, for instance?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Clark

Couple of things come to mind. Power on the system and head on' over to the bios. Ensure the audio onboard is actually turned on...or if the board they sent you had it disabled.
Check the Device manager for any "!" in yellow next to anything in the audio dept. (windows control panel/system/hardware...yadda yadda....) If the onboard audio is turned 'on' and windows is seeing it? You'll have a heading for AC '97 listed, and also under sound effects options in the control panel it should be listed. If it's listed as working 'ok'? I seem to remember a set of jumpers on the motherboard for audio output. In the manual it's listing as follows:
"If you don't want to connect the front audio header, pins 5&6, 9&10 have to be jumpered in order to have signal output directed to the rear audio ports. Otherwise the line-out connector on the back panel will not function" That's out of my manual regarding JAUD1 connector. And I have the Neo4 K8N board.
Best of luck!

Can I put an old 20GB IDE HD into the K8N NEO4 Platinum Board ?

I was just wondering if you can install a old Maxtor 20Gb IDE hard drive into a brand new system built around the K8N NEO4 Platinum (MS-7125) and used it in conjunction with a brand new Maxtor Diamondmax 10 SATA150 80Gb hard drive, for a total hard drive space of 100Gb ?
if it possible for new sata and old ide hard drives to co-exists in the same system ?

Quote from: syar2003 on 23-January-06, 05:00:53
Yes , you can do that .
Only advise is to put the old udma66 disk on it's own ide cable .
You would want to install th OS on the sata drive , make sure not to have the ide disk connected during install
or it will host the OS system files and become the system disk (default win installer choice to take the first drive it sees , and
ide is always prior to satas in bios).
Then after OS is all setup , shut down and connect the remaining disks .
So the procedure would be, to install the sata drive first, the optical drives in IDE secondary and when everythings done, the old 20Gb drive in the primary IDE, its that the way of it ?
what do you mean by "put the old udma66 disk on it's own ide cable" ?

K8N Neo4-F and video card

Will an 8800 GTS 320 video card fit on a K8N Neo4-F?

Quote from: jose_ramos on 13-May-07, 02:56:39
Hi Grayone, thanks.
Now just to make sure, the following question is: won't it go over/hit the NB chipset cooler?
And, suplementing that, some people are using Fanmate 2 to reduce speed/noise of stock MSI Neo4-F NB fan. Do you know if it works without harm to mobo? To what rpm could I reduce the speed - the lowest Fanmate allows is OK?
Thanks in advance,
Jose
The card will fit over MSI's stock chipset cooler , no problem.
I would not turn the fanspeed down. Nforce chipsets run hot, and the fan is actually the only cooling there is for the chipset as the 'heatsink' itself is tiny.

You've sussed I've got problems as a beginner even on using this forum. EG I've tried to put in my computer stats but not sure they are in.
I've read that my mainboard can as a socket 939 use the dual- Core processor X2 and up to FX 60. However according to sisandra my board is not supporting dual core. Which is right?
Thanks
Nope, that's false info.
Look here for supported CPU for your mainboard:

Having problems with my K8N Neo4 Platinum board

Hi,
I'm at a loss of trying to figure out what is the problem, my computer comes on by itself and I'm not sure if it's a hardware problem or bios or maybe a virus.....anyone came across this problem before?

You can thank Bill Gates and his precious team for the gorgeous software that they have created. If you didn't know, Win is automatized to such a high degree, that it can do things by itself. Probably the OS thougth that this is a neat feature that you're missing out onto, and decided to show you the path to enlightenment
This is not correct. It is the PROM's on the network card that is configurated to enable wake on lan function. The best thing to do, is to go into your bios and select enable network PROM og network BIOS (depending on what it says), Then you'r settings will be saved, in case you reinstall windows/formats etc. This is not a windows issue, just the standard settings for the network card as it comes from the manufacturer. Bill Gates is not to blame...

Grimster i agree totaly with jeanguy, you need around 25-30amps min on these boards, so try a mates psu.
Do I really need more than 18a with my system? How much money (ballpark) in US dollars do you think a adequate PSU for my rig would cost???
I am really thinking of just takeing it back and getting it replaced with the same mobo and see if that works.

K8N Neo4 Platinum & PCI Tv Card Power Up

Hi,
I have spend a long time searching the forums for the answer to this with out any luck.
I have the above mother board, and a compro DVB300 PCI tv tuner. This card supports power up from s5 and below via the IR remote. I cannot get this to work. Also the feature for auto power up recording from standby (s3).
My question is this...
Does this motherboard support 3.3v suppy to PCI in S3?

It should support PME, but I have no way of actually checking it.
The issue could also be the PSU not giving enough 5v SB.

Logic Board/Video Card Problem?

I sue Bootcamp with vista. But my Mac OS X isnt working either. heres the Deal.
I use my computer for gaming and its been great but just yesterday, it had a graphical error. The Screen Flashed Black and back on several times before giving m the blue screen.
It says the problem is that the Driver software couldnt load, so i tried to load my Mac OS, it loaded fine at first, once in inside of any webpage, it was choppy, when i loaded ITunes, it stalled and froze. Now it load at it stalls when i select what OS to go into.
I can load Windows fine, but any time i load it out of safe mode i get green dots across my entire screen while it loads, and the Device manager gives me the error code 43 under Display adapter.
Ive never had a problem like this, my computer is out of warrenty. ive tried a ReFromate and no luck. Heres everything ive attempted so far.
I have installed Current Nvidia Drivers.
Ive rolled back to old Nvidia Drivers.
Ive Reformated my Windows Vista Partition(i couldnt reformate my OS because it freezed with Mac OS X installer Cd inserted.)
Im game for any help and support. Ive been hung out to dry by apple and a certified tech said it was logic board problems over the phone and it would be 700$ for repair. Please help!

Hard to say ... the only way to tell will be to exchange parts and see if it's gone and that kind of stuff could be anything ... it could even be the power supply.
One thing you could try is to run Xbench and check which test makes things worse (not that this really gives hard data, more like adding to the indications).
Another thing is to download iStat/Pro or a similar tool and check the temps. Maybe just a fan gave up and something is overheating. Possibly (maybe) that's why you could get into iTunes and later stalled at the OS selection (because the longer you leave the machine on, the worse the heat gets).
This is all wild guesswork though ... and I doubt a tech over the phone could determine the root cause with confidence (not without running a test software). And for $700 you could buy a 2nd hand iMac8,1 on eBay and sell yours as parts.
