Here's a thread about your prob to check out. I thought it was totally solved for all nvidia chipsets, guess not. Nf3's seem to still have it to some extent. It seems Maxtor is the one that "dropped the ball" this time...

[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, .

MOVED: MSI K8N Neo-F problem with Maxtor DiamondMax plus 9 slave.

This topic has been moved to AMD64 nVidia Based board.
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=95536.0

it has a 150gb FAT32 partition and a 100gb NTFS one.
Old mobo was a FIC AN11, but that is probably erroneous now.
As for the motherboard not recognizing it, the ide cable was loose. after fixing that, it is detected fine in bios.
And computer management now shows "Online" for the drive after I initialized it, but still shows unallocated under it. It is not unallocated.
Anything I can do to ensure I don't lose information?

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

RESOLVED - K8N Neo2 Platinum problem with large Seagate disk

Hi All,
I've been running this system for 4 years and I'm very happy with it. But I've run into a problem:
I'm trying to exchange my 120 GB Seagate Barracuda systemdisk with a 500 GB Barracuda and I can't install XP with SP2.
First I tried to clone the old HD with Norton Ghost and Acronis True Image. The cloning looked fine but after taking the old HD out and moving the new one to P-ATA 1 as Primary Master I get an "error - no operating system found". I also tried a fresh install from CD. After the CD reboots the system I get the same error.
The HD is present in BIOS with the right parameters and all is looking well - but still no go.
I've fiddled around in BIOS (vers. 1.3) with the different settings (LBA, Large, Auto, Csh.) The last 2 options gives the "no operating system" error and the first 2 gives a "disk error" although Seagate says that I should change settings to "LBA".
I only have the new HD in the machine. I also tried fixboot and fixmbr. I can see all the installed files when I put it in as a slave.
So my question is:
Does the K8N Neo2 Platinum have a problem with large hd's as system disk?
Or is this a Seagate or Windows problem ?
Any help is much appreciated!
Mads

Actually that was the first thing I did just to see if the drive worked :-) - except that I had it as master on the second ide cable. It formats like it should and all partitions report "healthy". The only difference is that the new drives c-partition is set as active (can't find a way to change it back) - while the old one is set as system. Could this make a difference ?
Since neither cloning nor a fresh install works I think the problem is something else. Maybe I should try Seatools and see if that makes any difference.
Thank's all for help so far! - Other suggestions ?

Fantastic!!! Now explain this to me. My bios shows as ver. 1A. MSI website does not show a ver 1A!! B, C, and D, but no A!!!! LOL
Seriously, thanks. I was wondering if it had anything to do with it purportedly being refurbished.
orlbuzz
Yes, it has been removed due some reason.
Quote from: orlbuzz on 12-November-08, 09:37:46
Yes, lol. W7125NMS V1.A I forget the date, but I do remember it is 05.
orlbuzz
Yes that's correct, but not 7125{Neo4}, 7025 instead is for Neo2.

MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum AND SATA2

i have MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard with 3500+ cpu and WD 160 hard sata disk.
I 'd like to ask if my MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard support sata2 hard disk drives, in order to know which HD to connect as a second HD drive, SATA or SATA 2 ??

It'll see SATA2 as regular SATA. You won't loose any speed either. There are no hard drives that actually benefit from SATA2 spec speeds. Well, maybe in isolated near theoretical benchmark cases one current model might be faster in SATA2 mode.
We just haven't got the technology yet.

Msi K8n Neo2 Platinum & Kingston Hyperx 1gb Pc3200

I have recentrly bought a MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM together with KINGSTON HYPERX PC3200 1GB KIT (which should run 2-2-2-5-1T)
But for the moment I only get them stable at 2.5-3-3-8-1T)
If I change from 2.5 -> 2 NO BOOT , i have to use the reset jumper...
The voltage I use is 2,75V
What can you guys suggest ?
Best Regards,
Yves

yes, when I changed the 2T to 1T I noticed a rather big diference ...
but still ... I bought those for the 2-2-2-5-1T setting so I will rma them if I can't get them to run at that speed...
I have send an email to kingston ... also waiting for their reply ...
also this evening I will try it with a more powerful PSU !
best regards
Yves

Msi k8n neo2 platinum & thermalright xp90, 120

Is the Msi K8N neo2 platinum compatible with the thermalright xp90 or thee xp120 heatsinks?

There a lot about the thermalright discussed at the end of this thread:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=87269.0
It is favorable, especially regarding ease of installation.

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.

Problem on boot MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

I am an italian lover of MSI motherboards.
After I bought a MSI KT3 Ultra Aru, then MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR and now I have a K8N Neo2 Platinum.
My hardware are:
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
Athlon 64 3200 Winchester
Corsair XMS 1024 TWINX 3200 PLL
Maxtor Diamond Plus 9 80 Gb
Asus Radeon 9600XT.
The problem is that at the power on the bios don't start. The LED on D-Bracket are three green and one red. On the manual this error are written:
Inizializing Video Interface
This will start detecting CPU clock, checking type of video onboard. Then, detect and initialize the video adapter.
This problem is frequent for my motherboard. However not always.
I attend your answer for this problem.
Thank you for all and for my english school.

Hi Italiano,
Welcome to the forum.
Have you details of your power supply. please show Maximum 3.3v,5v & 12v.
These are usually on the side of the power unit.
try:-
1) Enter bios Cell Menu - HT change from 5 ---> 4 using +/- keys. Save & exit.
If it still doesn't boot try:-
2) Re-inserting your Asus Radeon 9600XT. Sometimes they don't go in correctly.
3) See if you can boot with just 1 memory module in slot 1.
Luck

News - BIG PROBLEM - MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum - DOES NOT POWER!!!

Hi to everyone.
I'm a proudly owner of a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum that in one year gave me no problem until yesterday morning.
I used the computer in the night before and when I finished I turned it off and I went to bed.
Yesterday morning I found the power led blinking (like if the system was in standby), and there was no way to turn the PC on.
I even took off the battery for more than 12 hours and I left only minimal components installed:
the video card (Gainward GeForce 6800),
the psu (Antec TruePower 550W),
1 x 512 MB Ram Crucial Ballistix,
and I checked them into another computer and they work perfectly.
I tried shorting the MB power switch pins with a screwdriver and I've even tried to power on the system without the Memory or the Video Card... I've tried everything that came across my mind with no efforts!!!!
Every time I give power to the MB appens only that the power led starts blinking, but pressing the button the PC doesn't turn on.
PLEASE HELP ME... I really don't know what else to do!!!
Thanks,
Alberto

Hi thanks for the answers.
I do have a D-Bracket, but my problem is not that the system does not boot or does not post... my system DOES NOT POWER ON (!!!!), so d-bracket is useless!
When I plug the system power the only thing that happens is that the power led starts blinking (with the system still in soft-off), and if I press the power switch button nothing happens!
I've the bios for 7025 v1.8 and the settings where for OFF on power-loss ond pressing the button (can't rememeber if it was more than 4 sec) was meant to turn off the computer, but considering that I un-powered the pc more than once without the MB battery the settings should be factory default by now.
I went through the Windows-XP shut-down system, and i could not be an electrical problem as I always used the PC with a pretty good UPS unit.
Right now these are the full specs of my sytem:
- MB MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum nForce3 Ultra
- GAINWARD 6800 2600 GLH 256 MB Ram
- PSU Antec TruPower 550 W
- CPU AMD64 3500+ core Winchester @11*210 Mhz (this cpu has never overclocked very well)
- HEATSINK Thermalright XP-90 with a 12 Cm Enermax Fan (CPU temp in always below 55 °C when stressed)
- 1 x 512 Mb RAM Crucial Ballistix DDR400 optimized for MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
I left only these things inside my computer in the hope that it would turn on... it did not work. I tested each component but the MB, and they work perfectly.
Again...
Thanks for you efforts, any help will be appreciated.
Alberto.
All parts have been tested: CPU/RAM/GFX/PSU/HD/DVD, just not the MOBO ?
Checked if the MOBO is shorting in the case ?
Have you tried using the reset switch as power, on/off switch ? I've seen before when the power switch stops working (lose/bad wire busted spring) after swapping reset to power, then the system turned on. Worth a try, as sending it back to USA won't be cheap. If its over 1 year old it mite not be covered by the re-seller and or MSI. Best to check this out as law and warranty is different from country to country.
Good Luck

PS2 mouse with MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum

Me and my uncle both have MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboards and both boards were bought from different places at different times. Both boards are exactly the same and both have the latest 1.4 BIOS.
We're both having the same problem with ps2 mice, I myself am not bothered about this problem but my uncle is so I need help.
Basically when you insert a ps2 mouse into the back of both our pcs, 7 times out of 10 the pc loads windows but the mouse doesnt move. The mouse is completely frozen. When you plug a usb mouse in, i can use that but still the ps2 mouse doesnt move.
When you plug in a ps2 keyboard along with the ps2 mouse, the mouse works everything time but without the ps2 keyboard in, most times the ps2 mouse doesnt work.
We both have no problems with usb devices but the ps2 mouse port (Green) isnt working all the time.
Having a quick look at this forum, i saw this thread.. PS/2 mouse not working exact same problem as me and my uncle.... is there a fix out now for this?
I use a usb mouse anyway and i know if my uncle switches to usb it will work but he shouldnt have to do this, if a board has ps2 support, it should work.

Quote
Two choices. USB Mouse or RMA it
What does RMA it mean?
Quote
The PS/2 ports on any computer can get blown if you plug a PS/2 device when the computer is powered.
I didnt know that, thanks for telling me, i know not to do this in the future.
Quote
Other than that, check BIOS to see if PS/2 option is enabled!
If ps/2 wasnt enabled in the BIOS, the ps2 devices wouldnt work at all would they? My ps2 keyboard works fine, my uncles ps2 mouse doesnt work sometimes so ps2 must be enabled in the bios.
thanks for the replies, could this be fixed if MSI knew this problem and release a new bios?
