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.

  • MSI P31 Neo Bios help

    Hi everybody. I have an old style P31 Neo which supports ddr2 800 mhz ram. Now i can not make any overlock even 1 fsb. What is my problem. Bios or anything else. i have an E6750 and corsair 2x1 ddr2 800. these parts was working @3,2 and  1066 mhz with P43 mainboard. But with the P31 they are on standarts. Need your help. Thanks

    does it manage to detect any ide devices at all?  if not then its probable maste/slave jumper settings...  if it does detect them, then its probably cos u need to install windows

  • MOVED: MSI P31 Neo and FSB/DDR ratio

    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.

  • Problems with MSI P31 Neo mobo

    Hello all,
    I just received my new MSI P31 Neo motherboard today and have spent nearly the whole day trying to get it to work.
    My problem is that when you turn the system on about 4/5 times there is no graphics displayed what so ever. When the graphics do come on and you can go through the BIOS it quite often jams. If occasionally you do get past that, when the Windows XP disc starts to load the files for the installer, it Jams and you need to restart, restarting this long process.
    My CPU is supposed to be supported, it's a 3.6ghz Intel Pentium 4 chip. I am using 4 x Samsung Original 1024MB DDR2 PC5300 RAM though it only shows 2gb of it in the BIOS. The graphics card is a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT 512MB PCI-E.
    Can anyone tell me how to get this mobo to work? Things to try? Otherwise I think I will just have to send it back...

    UPDATE:
    I tried booting with 2 RAM Chips and it works great! This seemed to be the problem.
    The ram IS double sided which would explain it.
    If you are wanting some more system specs, just ask and I will try and get the most I can.
    Del UK:
    If I could run 4gb it would be great but I cannot seem to find the SPD in bios. My BIOS is American Megatrends Inc. v02.61 so it would be great if you could help me with that!
    If all else fails I might either just settle with 2GB or buy some new RAM chips. Can anyone please tell me some Ram chips which would be able to give this mobo 4GB?
    Thanks

  • Cant boot MSI P31 Neo v2

    Hi. First of all sorry for my bad english.
    So I have this PC for 1,5 years now, never had this problem before.
    One day I start my pc and it shows "Warning!!! The previous performance of overclocking is failed and the system restored to the default settings...." Press del to enter setup.
    So I press del and enter setup, then i use fail safe deafaults settings and exit bios. Pc starts normaly. Next time I turn it off same message came up, so i did the same fails safe deafaults, but no effect, it just restarted and again same message. So i decided to try optimized deafaults and pc started. And again next time i turned it un same message, i tried fail safe deafaults, then optimized and no effect. After about 10 times trying those setting pc started, so i googled the problem and the suggestion was to flush cmos by removing batteri. So i did. After that pc isnt starting at all, just nothing on screen, no signal. No error beeps or something like that. All coolers, cd room ect is powered, just no signal on monitor. Checked the monitor with another pc, runs normaly.
    So the system specs-
    Intel core E7300 2.66ghz
    Msi p31 neo-f v2
    A-data 1gb ddr2
    A-data 1gb ddr2 (tried with one ddr only, nothing)
    samsung f1 750gb sata2 7200rpm
    Giga byte 512mb gddr3 pcie16 hd4850
    Fortron psu atx 400w
    bios - A7392IMS200
    I have checked all the wire contacts,ddr slots, vga slot, removed and inserted back CPU too, no help.
    Any ideas?

    I would check the CPU/Ram. this system was overclocked?

  • 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.

    I've already trieded with two sticks only, 2GB... and it starts fine. All the memory sticks work fine... in pair. All four, nothing.
    Thanks...

      "I've noticed that two of the memory sticks are single sided and the other two are dual sided! Could this be the origin for the problem?"
     It seems you are using 2 high density sticks and 2 low density sticks. tRFC would certainly be different between the 2. Don't mix memory like that as you will have problems. To avoid memory problems like that ensure that all 4 are the same. Best would be 2x4 GB kit. At the very least get another kit the same as the 2 new ones and don't use the old ones.
    Well... i thought memory sticks would have to be same capacity (this case, 1Gb) and same velocity, 667MHZ.
    Never thought about SS or DS.
    In this case... the older ones, OEM, are DS... the new ones, Kingstone, are SS... witch are better to keep and to buy new ones?

    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.

  • MSI K8T Neo BIOS

    I recently flashed my BIOS via the Live! Update feature to 1.80...
    However, both SiSoft Sandra 2004 & Belarc Advisor report BIOS version 1.0 is installed....
    Here is the report from Belarc:
    Board: MSI MS-6702 1.0

    If i try to run the Live! BIOS update, i am told i have the latest version...
    So, my question is what BIOS do i have?  MSI say i have the latest revision, but Sandra & Belarc say i have the first revision.
    Thanks for any help!

  • MSI K8N Neo FSR HELP!!!

    Hello,
    Just bought a msi k8n neo board with amd 64 +3200 processor combo. I have everything plugged in correctly ( i hope) and when i boot up the system hangs for a bit Detecting the IDE Drives. Once it has finished detecting it goes on Detecting the DMI Pool Data, after that I get an error that reads. "Disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter." Sometimes it will skip or finish the DMI pool data detection and attempt to start windows but I get a blue screen that says I will need to reboot my system.
    Please please please help!!!

    does it manage to detect any ide devices at all?  if not then its probable maste/slave jumper settings...  if it does detect them, then its probably cos u need to install windows

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R - help please :(

    When i first got this board + my Athlon 64bit 3200+ I just left everything in bios at default, and counter-strike bullet registration was amazing, the FSB clock said 133, (no i did not imagine this as ive had two of these boards and they both said 133fsb when i went to bios).... one day my p.c wouldnt boot up, i did a series of tests and couldnt find what was wrong, i eventaully reset cmos and still it would not boot up properly. So i got a new harddrive and that seemed to solve the problem, only this time when i went to bios instead of the FSB saying 100-280, it said 190-280, now counter-strike bullet reg has totally gone and plays like , oh sure good frames per second but it doesnt feel instant, i want 133fsb back quite desperately, i was hoping one of you kind people could tell me if theres fsb jumpers on my board or how i can get 133fsb back, wont let me below 190 at the moment :(
    Thanks

    below are my specs,similar to yours.  the issue is in the audigy card .. remove it , try a different card ( live ) if some one can resolve this please let me know too..
     I have a problem ,when ever I boot my system hangs ( at sound card) ,if I power down and reboot a few seconds later its fine.if I leave it running its fine,only on a cold start. if I remove my audigy card this problem goes away, I can use other cards ,but not the audigy, did you ever have this issue ,or know any one who has had an irq issue like this( I think its in the irq) ...............

  • Msi k8n neo 2 help please

    hi everyone
     just a query hope someone can help, i have a k8n neo 2 with a amd 3.5 chip, i just benchmarked my system to see what it was running like and my results were not what i expected, my cpu was just over 8000 can this really be right i gathered it would be over 10000.
              maybe i,m wrong but could someone please tell me what the average reading would be for a motherboard and 3.5 chip.
                                                                          thanks

    You were being asked a question in a funny way instead of slamming you directly. As you don't care to answer the question on what you were benchmarking with and the simple fact that there are hundreds of proggies that can be used in benchmmarking we can't answer you as it stands. However since you have taken an attitude about this rather than take a bit of ribbing and giving an answer as well as shouting by the use of all caps... You now have a warning and the thread is closed.
    I strongly suggest you read the forum rules as they will explain about things like giving complete info on a post so you can actually receive an answer and not PO'ing off people that could otherwise give you an answer. There is a whole section in the rules discussing curtesy.

  • MSI K8N Neo Plat help please!!!

    Hi guys, long time browser first time poster on these forums.
    I have a few questions which im hoping some of you can help me with, i searched through the message boards but found no answer so I thought i'd write a plea for help.
    I recently sold my Asus K8V Deluxe and decided to replace it with a nForce3 250Gb alternative. I ended up purchasing an MSI K8N Neo, which is fantastic apart from 3 particular issues:
    1. After the PC POSTs and before the WinXP loading screen, there is a long delay (about 25-30 seconds) where the PC does nothing. No hard disk activity or anything, just sits there on a blank screen. Can anyone help with as to what might be causing this problem?
    2. Im using a WD 120Gb SATA hard drive, connected to SATA port 3. Using the 'speed test' tool that is provided under the Nvidia Serial ATA controller, I receive a burst speed rate of 69.9mb / sec and a sustained speed of 52.4mb / sec. This falls far below the claimed 150mb / sec. Is there anything I can do to improve this??
    3. In terms of actual system performance its more or less identical to when I had the K8V. I've read in a few reviews that the nForce3 mobo's are faster than the VIA variety. Again is there something I can do to improve this or am I just a gullible mofo?
    All drivers are completely up to date and the system is running on a fresh install of XP.
    Cheers.

    First, are you raiding drives? It seems you are not, so my next question is did you load the drivers off the floppy disk? For sata drives that are not raided, this is an unnecessary step that has caused systems to hang at startup.-solution- reformat without loading these drivers.

    That is about right for that drive. The 150 mb/s is just theoretical, not realistic at this point. My raptor at 10,000rpm's gets about 121mb/s burst and 70mb/s average. So if anything your burst may be a little low. The rpm's of the hard drive is makingmore of the difference than the sata.

    The Nforce3 250's are generally a little faster than via's but in some areas not so. These difference would hardly be noticed by the naked eye in most instances, only benchmarks. So you sre not gullible, just a little uninformed about the actual speed difference.
