MSI 945P Neo-F - PC doesn't boot

Hey,
my PC worked for about 1 1/2 years, but a few days ago suddenly it didn't boot - the screen was black and the PC made some beep sounds (1x long, 2x short -> video card defect). I installed the D-Bracket and it says, that there is a problem with the floppy device (but i have NOT a floppy device). I did the C-MOS reset -> nothing changed. I changed the RAM sticks -> nothing changed. I unplugged all devices (but video card, CPU, RAM, PSU) -> nothing changed. What shall I do now? (I have no other video card - only AGP, but my board doesn't support AGP)
PC Data:
Mainboard: MSI 945P Neo-F
CPU: Intel Pentium D 920
Power Supply Unit: 350W (with case "Jou Jye JJ-7029B") Detailled Specifications
RAM: 1024MB (and also tested with 512MB DDR2 Corsair Value-Kit [Dual-Channel])
Video-Card: MSI NX6600 - VTD256EH passiv
And... Sound+Networkcard, Mouse+Keyboard, DVD-Drive

i suggest you to swap the graphic card first and see how it goes.
Prior to this incident did you OC your rig??
Alternatively try clearing cmos or jump start the psu using a screw driver
-Yes, I swapped out graphics cards, with a known working one. Still no change. I thought "broken pci-e x16 slot" but this is the second mobo of that type that's doing this, so either this particular type of mobo is crap or I'm getting shafted.
-No I never OC'd (wasn't going to try, either), since it never got past the video init, and therefore couldn't get to the bios.
-Cleared the cmos (the JBAT1 jumper I believe) and still no change.
-And I really don't trust myself with a screwdriver and electricity.
-Finally, no, I didn't update the bios. This happened out-of-box.

then when i install hardware and drivers for new soundcard it doesnt work
im a newbe at this is the jumpers or something i have to change?
sorry if this is in wrong section

my system detects the soundcard but the creative control center does not detect it
"no cards found"
im running vista at moment (using vista creative drivers)
(in xp detected device and creative control center detected it too but no sound)
i may invest in new psu alright but i dont think this is the problem in this case as i tryed soundcard before i bought hard drives
the soundcard is probably 7 years old maybe its just no supported????

MSI 945p Neo-2 V Hanging...help!

Hi, after an exhaustive search regarding the problem and one previous post topic about the same thing happening (with absolutely no resolution, I might add) I've decided to start a new post topic to see if anything can be done.
I have in my possession an MSI 945p Neo-2 V (MS 7176 ver. 2A1 written between PCI slots) connected to various other components, all of which appear in my signature. When everything is connected and the power switch is pressed, the power turns on, the heatsink fan and computer fan both turn on and the hard drive clicks to life. After that..nothing. No bios, no "no os detected", nothing screaming at me that I done eff'd up. At this point the diagnostic bracket sits on this:
1. Red 2. Red
4. Red 3. Green
which tells me it's hanging on the video initialization. After RMAing the first board that did this to me and getting a completely new board and processor, the same thing happens.
I have tried the various steps suggested in the other topic: separate component testing, using only one memstick to get bios to post, sitting the mobo on a non-conductive surface and turning it on, checking front panel jumper connectors, but nothing seems to be working. I swapped out every component with known working ones to no avail. I swapped in every component to a working computer and separately they all work fine as well. The people I'm making this computer for have been waiting about a month for the RMA to go through and everything and I'm about to lose both my mind and reputation here. Can anyone help?
EDIT: Here's a link to the original topic I found - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=94091.0
Other Edit: guess it's a neo-2 v, not h

MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

A lot of things could be wrong but it will be easier to figure out if we know what you did. When you say you changed settings in Bios, do you remember your last settings and what you did?
It might be helpful if you created a sig (as described in the forum rules) to show what you have in your system like my sig below. (Hint- use profile button in sign on screen.)
Things could be broken even if there is no visible evidence (such as flames or melted component) of course.
If I had to guess and your d-bracket reading is correct, corrupted bios requiring new bios chip, but let's not guess as a lot of things could be wrong and you don't want to invest in a new bios chip if the board cannot be brought back to life. Consider removing parts and testing them in an other machine. Start with CPU and memory?
Good luck.

nForce is not more stable then VIA, absolutely not.
When you prefer stability, go with VIA chip
when you want a good overclicker with some stability isues, go for the nForce.
My advice: see my signature and you know .....
What sort of stability issues are we talking about here?
BSOD's?

MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) problem booting from USB flash drive

Hi, all!
I was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on my 320GB HDD that is connected to my MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) mobo (The CPU is a Core2Duo 6600 with 6GB of RAM). I created a bootable USB 8GB flash drive using Microsoft's "Windows 7 DVD USB Download Tool" and bootsect.exe (Needed to create a boot sector on the USB drive) from the MS store. I successfully tested the resulting bootable USB drive using freeware MobaLiveCD (Sorry, you'll have to Google "mobalivecd" since this forum doesn't seem to allow external links) running under Windows XP SP3 x86 (32bit). Under MobaLive's QEMU, Windows 7 setup loaded its files and produced an error message basically saying that it could not install Windows 7 x64 under an x86 OS (No surprise there since QEMU is emulating a 32bit processor - The point is that the bootable USB drive I created works).
I then went into my mobo's CMOS and under Advanced BIOS Features -> Boot Sequence -> 1st Boot Device, set the value to "USB-HDD" and rebooted my machine. The USB drive probably was not detected by the mobo under that setting because it proceeded to boot from my HDD which is the 2nd Boot Device. I repeated the same process using each one of the four USB ports in the rear of the mobo (I don't have the optional USB panel that the MSI users manual mentions) to no avail. I also tried setting the 1st Boot Device to "USB-FDD" and repeated the process for each USB port but the mobo still will not boot from the USB drive (It does not recognize it). When I set the 1st Boot Device to "USB-ZIP" and rebooted, the mobo hangs after "Verifying DMI Pool Data ..." which is no surprise since I am not using a USB ZIP drive but a USB flash drive. It appears that under that setting, it recognizes that there is a USB device attached but it is expecting a response (From a USB ZIP drive). I had no idea it would be this frustrating to boot from a USB flash drive! If anyone knows how to make this mobo boot from a USB flash drive, please let me know. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The P965 Neo motherboard is 8 years old, so don't expect miracles. .... You need to format the USB stick in the proper way. You may use this utility to do it: hxxp://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ Also, it's a good idea to use the first (USB0) connector (controlled by Intel ICH8) for the USB flash drive. Good luck.
Thank You for your fast response, RemusM!
I'm not looking for a miracle. I'm just looking for a mobo that does what it is supposed to do: Allow me to boot from a USB flash drive (I don't think that is too much to ask for even from a board that was made in 2006)!
Thanks for recommending FlashBoot. I see under their "Why FlashBoot" section that it "... does not shift to user the burden of choice between "USB-ZIP" and "USB-HDD" at format time and proper BIOS setup at boot time. ... and every USB disk is formatted in such way that it will work in every environment properly, regardless of current BIOS setting.", so I will give it a try and let you know about the results afterwards.

MSI P35 Neo 2 FR refuses to boot

Hello. I own a MSI P35 Neo 2 FR. I have it for about 4 weeks. Today, i shut down the computer and, after i tried to restart it, it refuses to boot...
The MB doesn't even start. But, if i get the CPU cable off the board, the MB starts, but it remains at the 4 red lights...
So, i am asking for some help.
Is the board fried?
Should i take it to warranty?

Your psu is very weak. That Cooler Master states it would be be able to do sli means nothing.
Funny, 43A on +12V is very weak, and a statement of CM is invalidated without proof.
Quote from: flobelix on 22-February-09, 00:26:11
It is a split rail with three rails at 19A peak each. Peak means seconds before it blows to pieces or shuts down.
How do you know that's a peak value and not a continuous one at 40°C? That unit is a decent AcBel unit, not groundbreaking neither a craptacular one, just a PSU who can power without problems a quad OC-ed on air and a GTX 280.
Quote from: flobelix on 22-February-09, 00:26:11
Across all rails it should do 516w on +12v (which means peak also), that's 43A peak total. So it won't do even 40A continous that's for sure. On each rail it won't do any more than 16-17A.
My god! How do you know that? If it's not PC P&C it doesn't mean that it's crap.
Read before blame a PSU for a failing MB.
Quote from: flobelix on 22-February-09, 00:26:11
I'd recommend trying with another and stronger psu before doing anything else.
I'd recommend buying a MB who's able to power on long term a quad, not only for a month.

MSI P965 Neo-F Sata & IDE presentation (& boot options)

hi,
I have purchased a MSI P965 Neo F motherboard.
http://www.msicomputer.co.uk/Product...3735&cat_id=77
I have flashed the bios to the lastest 1.18 revision.
If you look at this board, you'll find it has 5 SATA ports.
- 1 SATAII port by JMicron JMB361.
- 4 SATAII ports by ICH8.
Questions:
1.) The machine only appears to be able to boot from the 1 jmicron sata port.
2.) within the bios any disks plugged into the board on the other 4 ports show up as "ide" disks, this could be wording or this could be some cheap bus trick

Hi, thanks for responding,
Quote
no wrong with "ide", as SATA ports on ICH8 are detected as IDE devices, (as opposed to detected as SCSI device).
could you clarify this, I think its just the "no wrong" line, what do you mean by this.
Quote
No, the machine is able to boot from any JMicron port, including PATA port.
there is only 1 jmicron sata port, so my initial comment was aimed at you can only boot from this 1 sata port - not the other 4 ich8 ports, I assume thats correct from your comment.

MSI P31 Neo-F V2 - Fails to Boot

I've got an MSI P31 Neo-F V2 motherboard that I've had for about about 16 months now. Unfortunately today it's just started failing to boot correctly.
I turned the machine on and was greeted with a red error message just after the usb controller was initalized. The message said "Warning !!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed and the system is restored to the default settings. Press any key except "DEL" to enter SETUP......."
I haven't overclocked the machine (don't know how) so I'm not quite sure why that error message was coming up. Anyway, I pressed space, that prompted me to restore settings which I did, then took me to setup where I saved and exited. Then tried to restart the machine. From this point on (about 30 restarts) I've had that message twice. Normally it does one of the following:
a) Powers up, no bleeps, no video output. Sits there waiting.
b) Powers up for a few seconds, then powers straight back down. Waits about 10 seconds, then repeats. Eventually after enough retries it will reach the some point as (a).
I've tried disconnecting power, I've tried taking the CMOS battery out. The last time I got to the error message my USB keyboard wouldn't even work so I couldn't do anything but restart. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do then fire away, as I'm really stuck now
I don't know what version of the BIOS I'm running as I can't get that far anymore. Apart from the CPU which I'm not sure is important? (Intel Duo 3Ghz) I'm not sure on much more info on my system.
Thanks.
Ian

Ok, I've managed to find an old photo of the Bios.
Bios: A7392IMS V2.1 080608 is the number top left.
CPU : Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 3.0Ghz
Gfx : 512Mb NiVidia GeForce 9800GTX+
Mem: 2 X 2GB DDR 2 800 MHz (will try and find out brand).
H/D : 2 * 160Gb drives. One is Seagate, the other Western Digital, both SATA 2.
OS : XP not that it's really relevant...
PSU : 800W. Don't know brand and DC current output. Will try to get these.

MOVED: MSI P31 Neo and FSB/DDR ratio

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=116635.0

Hello Aacko,
the P31 Neo is a budget board that is not really designed for overclocking (notice the red PCB). The P31 chipset supports DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 memory modules. With a FSB-200-MHZ-CPU installed, 1:1.66 and 1:2 are exactly the ratios you need to get your RAM to 667 MHz or 800 MHz.
Quote
Can I do something about this or should I swap P31 Neo to some P35-chipset mobo that would allow more flexible FSB/DDR ratio settings?
If you really want to overclock, you should go for a P35 Platinum or P35 Neo2-FR/FIR board.

MOVED: MSI P43 NEO with Q6600?

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Undervolting & Modding Corner.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=148594.0

Overclocking means operating a component or a set of components outside their actual specifications. That means, whenever overclocking is involved, negative consequences (increased heat, signal distorsion, shortened component lifetime, sudden component death) always have to be counted in as a result of overclocking. Users that do not accept these consequences should not even think about overclocking.
Yes, the P43 Neo has a limited voltage regulator/phase modulation architecture which, among other things, does not make it really the best choice for overclocking. It is a cheap, low budget mainboard with limited capabilities.
