Don't listen to anyone here but Stick. He gave the best advice.
Now, it might be a good idea to flash to a newer BIOS. If you have a Winnie or Venice, then v1.5 should be fine and was the one I used for a long time. The next move is to make sure your SATA drive(s) are plugged into ports 3 and 4, because ports 1 and 2 are not locked and will hinder your OC's and could lead to disc corruption and/or a borked OS.
You dropped the HTT multi to 4x, good move. That caused me a bunch of headaches at first. The next move is drop the RAM to the 166 divider. Don't drop your timings to 2.5,5,5,7 (this isn't DDR2), it is unecessary. Simply drop the RAM to the 166 divider and increase the HTT to 240Mhz. That will put your RAM at about 200Mhz, or its rated speed, while OCing the CPU to 2xxxMhz. This will rule the RAM out as a possible cause for your problem. Once the RAM is out of the way, work on the CPU.
Depending on what type of chip you have, and how well it OC's, you may or may not have to increase the vcore. I have a 3000+ Venice that will do 2500Mhz with the stock 1.376v, and a 146 Opty(San Diego) that will do 2750Mhz with the stock vcore of 1.376v. It all depends on the chip at this point. If it doesn't post, or boot, increase the vcore one bump. If that doesn't do it, then bump it again. I would go no higher than 1.5v to reach 2400 - 2600Mhz though...
Once the you have it running at a speed you are happy with, and have tested it for stabilty, you can then move on to playing with the RAM and its timings. For now though I would worry more about getting the CPU where I'd want it then the RAM.
The Neo2 is probably one of THE best s939 AGP boards out there, and they are capable of some really sick stuff...Keep trying, be patient, and good luck.
LOL...It's user to user forum so why not you listen to others people advice?

    Overclocking issues with Neo2 Platinum

    hiya nocturnal
    1st in Integrated Peripherals / IDE Function Setup....disable sata1/sata2 dma transfer and enable sata3/sata4 dma transfer...sata 3 is top on left side of board one closest to cpu.
    2nd ... Cell Menu / DRAM configuration  is where you set memory timing 1T/2T
    3rd...Cell Menu / AGP Frequency ..set it to 67
    just My 2 cents but why don't you take Everything back to stock (cpu & vid card) , Do the above and see if it will boot. the biggest problem you have (my opinion) is your memory...you do not state if it is pc3200/400 ...if it is go 200 Max Memclock (step 2, 1st option)
    set the CAS  settings to stock..see if you can boot to windows, then and only then go Play   as in see what your sandie will do with that memory..Leave your vid card stock until you get a stable windows enviorment...also if you do shift F2 ..alt F3 it opens up other settings within our bios
    I believe you will be upgrading your memory real soon if ya got the o/c bug   
    Hope this helps
    ps...by the way what type of power supply do you have ?   

  • Overclocking problems with neo2

    ok, im trying to overclock from 200x10 (stock) to 240x10 but i keep gettin the safe mode warning message >:(
    even if i do 210x10 (2100mhz) i still get the warning. i tried using 240x9 which didnt work then i tried lowering HT to 4, this also had no effect.
    how can i get this thing to overclock without gettin the warning message?
    cheers, mark.

    i want to overclock the cpu without overclocking the ram, is that possible with this motherboard??
    for example: 333Mhz cpu and stay at 800Mhz for ram
    the cpuz is reading actually 379 (i cant remember the exact value, but is around this) for ram when i have set to manual 667 why this happen??? (the cpu is at 300)
    The memory speeds you can select are not absolute but FSB:RAM dividers
    533Mhz equals the 1:1 divider
    667Mhz equals the 4:5 divider
    800Mhz equals the 2:3 divider
    This means if you select 667Mhz RAM in bios you don't force 667Mhz but you select a FSB:RAM ratio of 4:5
    At stock FSB of 266Mhz this makes : 266 / 4 = 66.5 * 5 = 333 Mhz (666 Mhz DDR) wich is the 667Mhz you select.
    However, if you change FSB the RAM speed changes along with it.
    So, for your 300Mhz this makes :  300 / 4 = 75 * 5 = 375 Mhz  wich is +- the 379 Mhz cpuZ reads.
    If you want 333Mhz fsb and ram @ 800 select 667Mhz RAM in bios and set FSB to 333Mhz, also enter RAM timings manually.
    This will result in 333 / 4 = 83.25 * 5 = 416 Mhz (832 Mhz DDR) for ram - The gskill should be able to take this mild 32Mhz overclock.
    The board might not make it to 333Mhz tho - It's a budget board wich overclocks poorly.

    well everything i wrote was based on the guys serial number reading ability. ill live with 2800 mhz. thanks anyway
    That's all fine and good, but not always the case. Sure, some batches/runs are better than others, and some weeks of production are just good clockers, but it is hard to tell what ANY chip will do just by looking at the markings on it. Getting 3G on stock vcore would be almost unheard of - unless the chip was made to run at 3G of course. 2800Mhz isn't too bad and exactly what I run on my Brisbane 24/7.
    The only real way to know what any chip will do, IMO, is to buy from someone who has abused already tried it 

  • Problem with NEO2 and sata controller card

    1.Product Type: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (MS-7025)
    and the controller card is a InnoVision DM-8301 and the hard drive is a Seagate ST3320620AS
    2.BIOS version: The newest one, 1C0 or something.
    3.External VGA Type: Geforce 6800 GT
    4.CPU Type: AMD 64 3500+
    5.Memory Type: G Skill ZX 2048mb.
    6.Power Supply Type:
    7.Operating System: Xp Pro
    8.Problem Description:
    Hello. I have a strange problem with my controllercard. I wrote this text to InnoVision suport and they send me files and bios updates for a whole week and it was still the same problem. And then i tried the card in an older computer and everything worked fine.
    I wrote
    "Hello. I got some problems with my new controller card. I can find my new harddrive ,that's conected to the controller card, when iam inside windows and it's seems to be no problem. I can look on every seting on it and everywhere i look i can read "No problem". I Also did some test with the seatools programe and everything was fine. But when i schould copy files to it the coumputer start lagging after a few seconds and i cant do anything. After a while i can move the mouse around but the it laggs again. My computer is overclocked at the time but i have tried to use the harddrive when it's not clocked also. Also when im goin in to teh controlpanel and starts the setings for Sillicon Images sata controll and have music on my computer, the music laggs for a very very short moment. Something must be wrong and i can not find it."
    It's still the same problem in my computer. The older computer had a MSI moderboard with a VIA chip and i have a nForce 3. InnoVison said i should talk to you about this problem. I have 3 harddrives but i use this controllercard because i want to have my computer overclocked and then i can't use 2 of the sata ports as i think you know.
    I would be very thankful if you could help me with this problem.
    //Martin

    I've used a noname SATA pci card (non raid) with SIL3112 on my neo2 without problems with 1C bios.
    Think you may try with a disk lower than 48bitLBA need (137GB barrier), eg a 120GB disk
    Quote:
     have the InnoVision EIO DM-8301 and had alot of problems using it with WD 160MB SATA drive.
    I am using Intel 865 based MB with 2 original SATA channels. The original SATA channels are bootable.
    I could not used the EIO card with 160G HDD. The whole setup is working only after I connected oine of my 120G Segate SATA HDD to the EIO Sata card.
    I think this card do not properly support HDD above 120G.
    Please respond to: [email protected]

    Btw: you have xp sp2 ?
    48bitLBA is not enabled in the first version.
    http://www.48bitlba.com/winxp.htm
    Edit:
    Here's another with complete different setup and same problems
    http://forum.tweakxp.com/forum/Topic212148-4-1.aspx
    I doubt it has anything to do with your motherboard and/or bios.
    Btw: I looked at innovision and their drivers in download area are very old.
    Get the latest SIL3112 drivers for XP here:
    http://www.siliconimage.com/support/supportsearchresults.aspx?pid=63&cid=3&ctid=2&osid=4&
    And remember 3112 is sata150 only , so it's not sure it will work with your drive at all .
    Anyway it should be set to fixed sata1.5G with jumper - not certain the controller can autonegotiate
    without trouble. You cannot have command queing enabled either , disk support only NCQ and controller TCQ
    so having command queing set ON will cause major conflicts in data transfers.

    No, there is no confusion.. I do know the difference between MS-9130 and the MS-9617. Almost identical except the chipset. Reason I was looking for it is because I used to have it on a board a couple years ago that I eventually sold. I recently picked up 5 more and I have a few 275's. One of my boards is running a custom bios with a pair of 275's, but I wanted to check the difference between the 2 versions.

I hate comments such as its not rocket science and many others, what are they trying to do put people off becing a BT Customer@
    I can recieve emails any amount of managers at BT but cant reply to their emails trying to sort out the problems i am having trying to log in to my account.
    I recieved my username and password but they dont work.
    There are a few questions i would like to ask such as adding 1471 or 1571 to my account?

    the problem with your thread is we do not know what memory you intend to use, and why are you  talking about 266 MHz while you can have 800 MHz memory ?? usually you can increase cpu speed by up to 30% and naturally FSB will go up accordingly. so tell us more
    Sorry, for me it is complicated to speak English   I have got already ram ddr2 at 800 mhz. I'm talking about 266 mhz because my CPU works well without change v-core (since 280 mhz) and this mainboard doesn't allow to change v-core

  • Moving house - problems with transferring broadban...

    Hi
    I am looking for assistance in resolving a problem with moving my BB & phone services. I moved to a rented flat and sought to transfer my phone & internet package. Initially i was told that the line was still live & that BT would need to write to the current provider in order to take over the line. I was told that my services would be connected on 8th August but could be connected earlier if the currectly active lne was cancelled earlier. I asked my letting agent to ask the landlady to cancel her phone line. I received a voicemail from BT today saying that my order has been cancelled. On the track my order function on BT.com my order is still in progress. I phoned BT and the person i spoke to now claims that i need to contact the other service provider. When i asked to speak to his manager, he hung up on me. I am trying to find an email address for BT as, given i don't have a landline, i don't want to spend ages on my mobile. Thanks!

    We ordered transfer in mid June - moved in 11 July.  they discovered no phone line evn though had been called from Truro! to check address.  Phone eventually connected 29th July.  Still no bb.  There has been no comms. spent 2 hours trying to get live chat liast evening - just cut you off if they are busy. I work from home and it is impossible situation.
    BT is supposed to be a communications IT company -   They just cannot get it together. 
    We are considering cancelling and going for full sattelite no matter the cost.   The cost in time and stress is huge when trying to sort BT stuff.
    This is second move in 6 months - last time they mucked up too - we eventually got 6 months free owing toe their **bleep** up .  I havent the energy to fight them this time.  Just leave is best

  • Overclocking problem with P965 NEO

    Hi, i actually have a problem with cpu and memory.
    my settings are:
    MSI P965 NEO
    2x 1Gb Gskill DDR2 800Mhz 4-4-3-5 2.0v
    Core2duo e6300
    zalman 9500CPN
    i  want to overclock the micro, and set the ram to the proper timigns, if i set all to auto, and the FSB to 300Mhz, the ddr speed raises to 473Mhz, and it's not what i like, i just want to reach a 1:1 FSB ratio and increase only cpu FSB not RAM fsb.
    Here i dont have the FSB:DRAM ratio, like i used to have in my asus.
    Ok, going to the point, i want to know how to increase cpu fsb and not the ram mhz. and also put the ram to the full spec.
    the ram is at AUTO and the speed manually to 667 because the problems i found with CPU-Z.
    The SPD reports 400Mhz, 4-4-3-5-24(trc)-2T
    Thanks,

  • Several problems with Neo2 Plat - BSOD, lockups, reboots

    Hi all!
    I bought myself a new computer today (or well, I bought the parts and built it), but I'm having problems getting it to run well. I've only had Windows installed for a little over four hours, but have already had lots of problems:
    1) I will get random Blue Screens of Death. The computer will reboot itself so quickly that it's hard to see what error messege it gives, but I thought I was something about IRQ. So I disabled all devices that I don't need, to cut down on possible IRQ conflicts.
    2) The computer will freeze. This happens occasional, and doesn't seem to be related to any particular task. One time it froze will I was running 3DMark 05, the other time when I selected a file on my SATA-disk.
    3) Files are corrupted. A lot of files (again on my SATA drive) seem to be corrupted - I get Cyclic Redundancy Check errors on a lot of them, and I'm pretty sure the files worked in my old computer.
    4) The computer will reboot for no reason. Just as the freezes, this doesn't seem to be related to anything in particular. Suddenly the comp will just reboot.
    This is my hardware setup:
    Mainboard: MSI Neo2-Platinum
    CPU: AMD64 3500+
    CPU Cooler: AMD Boxed Cooler
    RAM: 2 x 512 Corsair 3200 Value Select
    Graphics Card: Gainward GeForce 6800LE
    Sound Card: Sounblaster Audigy2 ZS
    DVD-Drive: Nec 2500A
    PSU: Antec TruePower 480
    Generic Floppy Drive
    Does anyone know what might be causing my problems? If it had been only reboots I would've guessed that my PSU is the culprit, but with the corrupted files and BSODs as well I keep thinking it must be the mainboard...

    Argh, putting the SATA disk on channel 3 instead of channel 2 didn't help anything at least. Got a BSDO -> Reboot while trying to access files on the S-ATA disk.
    I should say that I'm using the latest drivers for everything - graphics card, soundcard, BIOS etc. Also, I seem to be having a problem with Live Update. When I try to use it, it say "The Service Has Not Been Started".
    Also, I tried to go into BIOS and change HTT from 5x to x4, but when I tried to do that the BIOS seemed to freeze up. I couldn't escape from the HTT dialouge box (which by the way didn't show any text, only the title), not by pressing Escape. CTRL-ALT-DELETE worked for soft reboot, though.

Maybe you are looking for
