K8N Neo2 Plat PS/2 problems (power?)

system:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
Winchester 3000+
1GB Mushkin PC3200
nV gf 5600 256MB
80GB Seagate sata
Pioneer DL DVD+-RW
Antec Solution w/

19" KDS flat
mitsumi card reader/floppy
win xp professional
ok i've been having some intermittent problems with this system, namely, the PS/2 ports will not work sometimes... and it seems that its consistently on EVERY OTHER boot... not on a cold start, or a warm start... EVERY OTHER no matter the method of boot/post... restart/cold anything
it is not OS issue, because on this every other start, i also cannot use keyboard to enter bios (so it isn't working BEFORE the sata drive even starts)
ALSO, when shutting down windows, the "It is now safe to shut your computer down" microsoft screen appears, and the softoff doesn't kick in.... you must use power button...
(also, this is an ATX system )
SO.....
is it power?
or mobo?
your comments please

Pull the card reader and retry it...

K8N Neo2 Plat & USB-keyboard problems

Does anyone have problems with an USB-keyboard? Sometimes (not very often), the USB-keyboard just stop working in windows. When I unplug the USB-cable and put it back, keyboard start woriking again.
Always, when I switched off & on the power supply and then turned on the computer, the keyboard won't work. You cannot go to bios etc. Again, I have to unplug the USB-cable.
The other USB-devices, mouse and priter, work perferctly. There is nothing wrong with the keyboard, I have tried it in another computer.

- What OS / ServicePacks ?
- What USB settings in bios ?
- Do you use std. Windriver or installed the driver that came with the keyboard ?
- What MoBo bios version ?
- Any IRQ conflicts ?
Please make full system spec.
- WinXP sp2
- USB KB/Storage Support Enabled
- USB Mouse Support Enabled
- Standard windriver (I dont think this is the problem, because keyboard does not work at all also before windows start loading)
- New bios 1.5
All this started to happen when I flashed the bios to version 1.5x mod.

K8N Neo2 Plat IR interface problem

Installed IrDA device connecting it to J1R1 on the MOBO and WinXP will not install drivers, returning error stating "Device Instance Name is Invalid." I disconnected the IR panel from the MOBO and re-booted and removed the device from the Device Manager and re-booted again. Then shut down and re-connected the IR panel and started up again. Still the same problem, but a different Instance Name. Not certain about the IR BIOS settings. I have them at:
IR Function Select - IrDA
RxD, TxD Active - Hi,Lo
IR Transmission Delay - Enable
UR2 Duplex Mode - Half
Use IR PIns - IR-Rx2Tx2
Can anyone please help with this.
Thanks

Fredrik, you may be right about the re-load. I stopped the upgrades at SP2 as SP3 doesn't like my graphics card (AIW 9600). However, the IR worked prior with SP2. I noticed the MOBO header connector layout is not "INTEL Front Panel I/O Connectivity Design Guide" compliant and will look into that further. Although, as I said, the setup worked OK before.
Problems started with inabilbity to retrieve Microsoft Upgrades. I let the Security people at Microsoft have access to the computer and it would not boot after they finished. In an effort to sort that out, I ran HD diagnostics on both RAID 1 HDs and one of them failed to pass. Fortunately, I was able to recover all of my files.

Looking for cheapest ram to go with the k8n neo2 plat

looking for the cheapest compatable 1GB dc kit for the msi k8n neo2 plat
any suggestions

Yea,
I gotta give a shout out for the Corsair Value Select series also. I ran it for years in cheap systems I built for friends without any problems at all. Newegg has it pretty cheap (under $100 bucks).
I think their cheapest starts at 79$ bucks for DDR400

NVidia Video Driver Causes Immediate freezing upon loading to desktop (K8N Neo2 Plat)...

after many a reinstall, order of loading drivers, i have finally traced my system's problem to the nvidia video drivers. i have no clue what to do. install everything (new nforce drivers, sp2, audio and ethernet drivers, windowsupdate, etc. EVERYTHING except running the nvidia video drivers package and the system does not freeze.
as soon as the video drivers are loaded, restart and once i get to the desktop it freezes. every single time. go into safe mode, remove video drivers, restart and the system doesn't freeze. fast write is disabled. all dram settings at auto. cool and quiet disableed. system specs are:
MSI K8N Neo2 Plat MB (bios is v1.3)
AMD64 3200+ Winchester Core
BFG 6800GT OC AGP Video Card
2*512MB Mushkin Dual Channel Blue Ram (2-3-3-6-1T at 200Mhz)
120GB WD Caviar 7200RPM 8MB Cache IDE HD
NEC ND3520A 16x DVD Burner
CoolerMaster Wave Master Aluminum Case
Coolermaster RS-450-ACLY Power Supply
any ideas?

well i'll be damned. spread spectrum. it was spread spectrum being enabled. there just isn't a more satifying feeling that thinking you figured out what was causing freezes and then finding out it's repeatable!!
spread spectrum on. freeze. reboot. freeze. reboot. freeze. spread spectrum disabled. reboot. no freeze. reboot. no freeze. reboot. no freeze. spread spectrum back on. reboot. freeze. reboot. freeze.
i love it.

Boot failure - k8n neo2 plat

Hi, I'm having trouble
Just purchased an MSI k8n neo2 plat mobo with an amd 64 3000+ and finally got her all setup... well minus the geforce 6600 gt arriving tomorrow and I still need to figure out what I'll do as far as memory goes. Ah but I forget myself... the problem at hand is this; I am unable to boot the system and the d-bracket indicates its current status is "Processor initialization..." Then nothing. Blank screen.
LED's btw:
red green
green red
thanks for any help
Sytem specs:
k8n neo2
amd xp 64 3000+
geforce 2 mx
1x mushkin pc2700 256mb (test mem)
60gb maxtor
generic cd-writer
PS is @POWER 430w with:
+3.3v = 28a
+5v = 40a
+12 = 17a

1)I'd go further than shturmovik in your 12v amps requirement you need at least 24a especially with your new graphic card.
see Basic Building Tips - Quote
As this pertains to A64's make sure that you have a power supply that is either approved for use by MSI/AMD or that you have plenty of amps on the 12 volt rail. Typically we have noted many issues based on stability with PSU's being rated at less than 24A on the 12v rail.
Power Consumption: NVIDIA vs. ATI
2)The D-Led Quote
Processor initialization
also covers memory issues as with the 64 the memory controller is on the CPU.
as your 1x mushkin pc2700 256mb (test mem) this rules out any dual channel problems.
which slot is it in.

New K8N NEO2 PLAT. and SC-939 3200+ help needed...

Hello,
I have just upgraded my system with K8N Neo2 Plat. and sc-939 3200+ A64 Cpu.
There are several issues I need to resolve which are:
1- Although I change from BIOS the settings for AGP to 4x8x and enable fast writes, I still cant see them turned on from the Catalyst Control Center. Everything is greyed out what can I do? They all used to be on and agp was 8x with my K7N2 Delta board....
2- Although I installed the original drivers from the MSI CD, I couldn't get one of the network prts to install. Realtek installed OK. But other one is defined by the device manager as standart network adapter. What can I do?
3- I am brand new to A64 system so I do not know what setting to use from BIOS can you help me out, for instance there are values for HT such as x3 x4 x5 mine is set to x5? what is this? should I enable cool and quiet, I am not intended to do overclocking. Can you give me some tips for best performance?
My best regards.

Make sure your bios is up to date: version 1.5. Look at the sticky threads and use the information to enable hidden bios features. Disable ATI/NV speedup in the bios. Uninstall your drivers and reinstall. If the information is still greyed out, download the free version of Sandra here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/ and check the module under video system information. This will tell you if fast writes are enabled and your AGP setting. Leave the HT(hyper-transport) set to 5X unless you plan on oc'ing, if you do oc then may find you'll need to reduce it to 4X or 3X. Try downloading the latest driver for your network from the MSI website. Right click the device in device manager and select update, select specific location then "don't look...I'll choose", direct it to the file where you've unpacked the correct driver and then update.

Freezing issues with K8N Neo2 Plat & 6800 gt

Well I get random freezing during games. Sometimes it freezes for 5-10 seconds then comes back, while other times it just freezes and the sound comes back but not the game.
I had this problem when I first upgraded.
K8N Neo2 plat
1gb corsair xms 3200
athlon 64 3500
aslo have:
420-30? antec tru power supply. I cant remember exact number.
6800gt ultra
audigy 2 plat
Now I first posted my problem a while ago and someone told me to try chaning the HT to 4x instead of 5x. So I did and it worked. It worked for a few weeks and now the problems have come back.
Any Ideas?

Along with the above issues, I've also found that a lot of my gaming probs with the 6800 are due to it being a "bandwidth hog" & it's latency needs to be adjusted lower to enable the other devices on the PCI bus (i.e. sound card) to get enough bandwidth to function properly. This isn't noticeable until you start some heavy gaming with a lot going on at once...
If your game ever practically chugs to a halt when a lot of sounds are being produced, this is the main problem. Here's a way & some notes on how to deal with it. Just like every "tweak" though, it's not guaranteed to work for everyone but I got noticeable benefits from it.
- D/L (I got it @ guru3D) PCI Latency Tool & give the "Read Me" a quick once-over. Write down the values for your devices, in case you need/want to change 'em back. Most items are well labeled - the 6800 & your sound card will be what you are most interested in. I wouldn't mess with the rest of 'em, as they deal with low level system items that are best left alone. Unless you are truly an Uber Geek!
- The latency for my 6800 listed as a massive 248 clks! For some reason, I've read that ATI cards don't default at such a large value, which might explain why people don't seem to have as many performance issues with 'em. Anyhow lower the 6800 to a more "reasonable" value, like 128 or 64. 64 seemed to work best for me.
- Save the settings, reboot & test it out. You can experiement with the sound card latency too, in order to find what works best for you, but I wouldn't set it at less than it's default value (32).
Hope this helps.

K8n neo2 Plat 54G, allround WLAN card

Does someone know if the WLAN PCI card provided with
the k8n neo2 Plat 54G will work in any other PCI slot
on any other motherboard? Reason I ask is the orange
colour slot on k8n Neo2, which is 'reserved' for the
WLAN PCI card, hints to be some kind of conditional slot?
I have a wireless network at home, but not using the k8n
wirelessly, but some other boxes could.

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but figured someone might have use of this info.
As an update, a good while back I put this WLAN card in an ECS VIA KM266 board, seemed to work, but was not too pleased with its performance or the SW MSI had along with this card. So I used another wireless solution instead.
Today decided to see if any new drivers around for this card.
The wireless chip on this card is a RT2500 by RaLink.
Looked up at their website and found driver version 3.2.0.0, date 26-Oct-2007.
http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Windows.html
This driver appear to work OK, the connection stays up, even at weak transmission conditions. The speed is not amazing but works. I assume it works reasonably well under good signal conditions.
EDIT: new version posted, version 3.2.0.10, date 12-Feb-2009.

A few K8N Neo2 Plat problems

Just getting this new rig up and going K8N Neo2 Plat with a 3200 Winchester 90nm CPU and 1GB (2x512) OCZ PC3200 Plat. rev2. My memory is not showing to be running in Dual Channel. and Sandra bandwidth is horrible to say the least. I have flashed to the latest bios that MSI has on the site, are their any better ones? I see some people running different versions of 1.3 bios, where are they? I have two Barracuda 80Gb S-ATA set up on #3-4 Sata connectors too in Raid (0).

Skeen, Duke is right. I have the same memory and you MUST use slot 1&2 for dual channel support. Look inthe manual on the page about memory. It gives 2 charts. The first one is for dual channel memory and the second one is for normal memory. Also I did a Sandra test that is somwhere here in the forums where I posted the results with 1&2 and 3&4 and 1&2 was slightly faster. Use them (the ones closest to the CPU).

Unidentified 10-12Pins inside the K8N Neo2 Plat

Hi guys,
I've just finished setting up my K8N Neo2 Plat into the case with the jumpers and cables etc. And there's sometihng interesting I discovered.
There is a set of jumpers or Pins, just above the JDB1 [D-Bracket pins] that seems to be unused and un-labelled in the Instruction manual.
The PCB has it labelled as JPC1 with a small arrow pointing downwards.
I searched thru the manual, and no sign of what it's used for.
Anyone else noticed this when they installed their board jumpers and pins?
Many thanks
mystify

LOL..you can pm to syar as he has the modded bios for 1C as i'm using his bios as nice and easy. But like what qyx say corecentre messing all you setting including the bios and stay away any DOT, C&Q if you're ocing your system. Better used manual way to set it in the bios. GD luck.

K8N Neo2 plat, no post issue cont'd.

Hi its me again, the guy with the intermittent "no post" k8n neo2 plat.
Loaded the 1b3 beta the other day, again 1 day later the box would not post, as usual no
indication on the D-bracket, just one flash of the keyboard, the fans span one half round.
Since it could run for 1month plus with 1a3 beta BIOS(no usb2.0 (I could not wait any longer wanted usb2.0 so I flashed to a newer bios)),
start thinking it could be something between these latter full versions and this.
Then saw a thread on the web about someone having a Winnie that his box also has issues when swapping for latter
version than 1.5, with 1.5 his plat run fine. Go figure.
So for the time being I switched it to v1.5 bios, lets see how long it holds.
oh btw, the CMOS clear "no effect" seem to be avoided, by unplugging every external
peripheral prior to doing the cmos clear.

...Speaker Beeps once, USB LEDS Hold at Green, Red, Green, Green...
Tried everything, don't know what to do
And for those that ask me, what HDs? What IDEs?
Go take an A+ Course please. No one with 2 cells of brain capacity would hook everything up on first boot not knowing if it will work or not...
Thanks, all help appreciated.
The Led display from your D-Bracket indicates it is stopping when it tries to initialise the floppy drive. You don't have one. No A+ course needed, just hook up your floppy or disable it in the BIOS. I have no floppy drive (I have no need) so have it disabled. Probably best to hook up all relevant devices that will enable a working machine. The BIOS is probably halting when it can't initialise a device. There would be no point in it proceeding if it doesn't have all devices needed for a bootable machine...
See D-Bracket guide here D-Bracket Guide
I'm only guessing.

K8N Neo2 Plat - Is 1.8 still the best bios?

Just bought new gfx card - Sapphire X1600Pro 256MB AGP - for my K8N Neo2 Plat setup (see sig for the rest).
I was getting 3dmark03 scores of 4400 to start with, then it has upped slowly to just over 6000 thanks to the various BIOS experts setup guides. I haven't found the Shgift F2 menu - is that only in later BIOSes ?
I'm only at BIOS 1.3 due to it's amazing stability with this setup, but now of course, I'm wondering if upping to, say, 1.8, might help improve things further ??
TIA

Hello !
The 1.8 bios is very good unless you are planning to run/update to an X2 dual core , then you will need a newer one for sure.
There is nothing faster and better with 1C , EasyBios 1C and my modded have better default values set in it ,EasyBios
have also better reworked layout (more user friendly) , but if you don't have any problems with your current one I would stick with it .
It's almost the same with my Neo1 system (Ms-7030) , I have this frozen at the 1.5b6 bios - with the Newcastle cpu in it
it actually works worse with the latest BIOS
