  • MSI 865PE neo-2p, d bracket, code not in book

    well suddenly my MSI 865PE neo-2p is not working, no beeps, no screen tuning on, and the d bracket2 is all wierd
    lights 1 and 2 are going red and green like a schoolbus
    lights 3 and 4 are red
    board is out of case (on a wooden piece of wood) and the problem still percists
    i have everything but the d bracket and power wires going to the board disconected
    i also tried a diff PSU, no change

    What I'd do is to strip off the system completely and only put CPU, and then RAM, and then display.... one by one, and see how far the system goes.
    Try this
    1. board + CPU --> 3 long beeps, indicating no RAM --> your CPU is fine.
    2. board + CPU + RAM  -> 8 long and short beeps, indicating no display, --> your RAM is fine.
    3. board + CPU + RAM + display card --> see the POST screen --> everything is OK.
    4. add in HDD --> detected in the BIOS --> everything is OK.
    5. add everything else --> detected in BIOS --> everything is OK. Continue boot to Winblows. See anything missing.
    If you can't even get out of 1, 2, or 3. Try clear CMOS.

  • MSI 865PE Neo 3-F + Intel P4 640

    Hello,
    I have a problem with a MSI 865PE Neo 3-F motherboard combined with an Intel 640 cpu.
    I cannot install Windows XP SP2, everytime at 35 minutes remaining, the computer resets itself.
    First I had bios v5.0, and couldn't flash to v5.2, after using a Intel 520 cpu I could flash to v5.2, but the problem remains.
    Tried several ram-modules, hdd, vga-cards, psu's, ...
    Anyone know if there is a solution for this ?  Maybe a new bios-version or beta-bios ?
    Thanks,
    Jan

    Two things you could test;
    Run memtest86 for any mem.errors ( you can do this by creatings a DOS disc and boot from floppy )
    http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
    Not sure about the 410w chieftec - Is that a ATX2.0 PSU with 24pin connector ? ( 12v1 =15amp + 12v2=18 amps)
    Do you use a 24-20 pin adapter ?
    If I´m correct, your MoBo still got the 20-pin MoBo + 4-pin cpu powerconnector, and too be sure about the power issue, I would have prefered a PSU with some 450w and a singel 12v line with minimum 22 amps on the 12v line. The newer P4/ Prescott cpu´s needs a lot of 12v power.- Be sure that both 20pin and 4pin are firmly in place on the MoBo.
    Most highly recommended PSU´s are Enermax, Antec, Tagan, OCZ, but there are others as well as long as you avoid the cheap ones -
    PS - about mem.voltage it would be 2.7v not 1.7v as you wrote, but assume this was only a typingfault.

  • MSI 865PE Neo-L high temp readings?

    Hello..
    When my system is off for a couple of hours and then i boot up my system,and go directly into the bios,my CPU temperature is already 40-45C° !!! :O
    And even my cooling block isn't hot then(not even warm).
    Also in windows with the MSI software i get those high temperature readings.
    Only with speedfan,the temperatures are more normal.
    Is this a know issue that MSI boards have high temperature readings  ?(
    CPU is a P4 2.6Ghz FSB800
    (system is not overclocked)
    Thanks in advance! :D

    ok,first of all thanks for the reply's guy's!!!
    My system specs :
    MSI 865PE NEO-L (duh :D )
    P4c 2.6Ghz FSB800 with boxed cooler.
    Maxtor 30GB 7200RPM
    2x256 DDR400 ram
    GF4 TI4200 64mb
    Q-tec 400W dual fan.
    DVD drive (lite-on 16xdvd ,52cd-rom)
    CDRW drive(lite-on 52-32-52)
    As said,with corecenter or other MSI software almost directly 45C° Even the heatsink is not warm then.
    (stressed 58-60C°)
    Speedfan gives me more then one temp..
    HD0 : 23C° this should be the harddisk temp i think.
    Temp1 : 29C° this should be the system temm or case temp.
    Temp 2 : 42C° this should be the CPU temp.
    All these readings are IDLE temps.
    And i think those are the wright temps...
    (ps,sorry for my bad english,if you don't understand something,please ask  :D )
    And Naviblue,nice overclock you got there!

  • MOVED: MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum Problem

    This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
    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.

  • How to connect dual channel ram on a msi 865pe neo-2 plat.edition ?

    hi....
    can any one tell me how to connect the RAM as dual channel on the MSI 865PE Neo-2 p Platinum Edition ?
    i did like what is written in the manual but nothing happened it only works as a single channel....
    the RAm is 2x512 spectek DDR400 PC3200....
    pls help me.............

    Franknputer is right.
    All systems that I build for my gamers runs in Dual Channel and the combo is 1 + 3 or 2 + 4 or 1 + 2 + 3 + 4. 1 x RAM in Channel A and 1 x RAM in Channel B minimum will give your Dual Channel Linear Mode message during startup and you know that you are running Dual Channel.
    Next, it is always recommended to have the same make and model and capacity of the RAMs if you want to run in Dual Channel.

  • MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition PROBLEM

    Hi (my english is not good sorry for that)
    I just got my new computer:
    MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition
    AMD Athlon64 3200+
    Western Digital Caviar 160Gb
    PNY Verto GeForce 6800Ultra 256Mb
    1GB Value Select pc3200
    Levicom 500W
    The Problem is that when i start the computer, it boot and die directly no bootscreen what so ever, it boot and die.  i dont know what to do plz help me

    Make sure you have Both the ATX Wires on.. theres the Big one! (21Pins i think).. and the Small 4Pin Connector both need to be connected.. if you havent done so yet.. Another thing you could do is Take everything out and place it on a cardboard or something appropriate for the mobo.... I think your motherboard is shorting?.. if it's touching your case.. I had somewhat the same issue long time ago.. give it a try..if you want hope it helps..

  • MSI P965 Neo board failure ?

    I have the P965 Neo board running perfect for two years, for a few weeks ago the system didn't startup, a long beep sound came from the MB. I opened the case, checked connectors etc. and replaced the memory modules. After that the system runs ok, no problem occurs for almost three weeks.
    For a few days ago, out of the blue,  the system didn't startup: error message: "WARNING Have option ROM can not be invoke (Vendor ID: 10Ech, Device ID:8167h)"
    I reset the system and it passes the POST, the WINDOWS XP splash screen shows up but after a few seconds the blue progress bar stops.
    I reset the system again and now the WINDOWS XP splash screen stays fade out, no progress bar
    I reset the system several times, after a few times the system normally boots up and is ok.
    I tested the HD with Speedfan Smart utility and it is found ok.  Also no virus etc is found. I checked the device manager, no driver problems.
    Yesterday the system had the same problems (XP boot blue progress bar stops, sometimes the progress is very slow) but after a few restarts the system boots normal and is ok.
    Tonight, after I had opened the case to measure the voltages, I startup the system but no problem occurs. The 12V and 5V are ok
    I think I have a hardware problem but I'm doubt what hardware (MB,RAM,PSU,processor) causing this kind of problems.
    Can you help me ?
    thanks,
    Herman

    Clear CMOS and try booting the system again.
    Was the system like this from Day 1 or this only happens after something has been done?
    Thks NovJoe ....
    The system had run without any problem for more than 2 years.
    I presume I have a connection problem on the MOBO or other hardware. If I place the PC case in the cabinet under my desk, the problem occurs. If I have the PC on the floor there is not any problem. It also happens only when the PC is cold.
    I asked my hardware supplier, he suggested to test the hardware with a special self booting hardware test CD. It will cost 40 euro. I searched for such a CD on internet but didn't find one special for MSI boards. Do you know where I can get such a CD ?

  • MSI P965 Neo-F reboot problems

    Hi,
    I have a MSI P965 Neo-F motherboard in my PC, everything works great except for one thing, rebooting.
    When i reboot or reset, it shuts down the operating system/BIOS, after that the PC stays on but my screen stays black.
    Does anyone know a solution?
    Thank you,
    ghostrider090
    full specs:
    Core 2 Duo E6600  (overclocked to 3GHz)

    Huntkey 450W  (modded with coolermaster fan)
    Samsung SH-S182D
    2x Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB 8MB

    I dont know solution ...   
    i see the problem in mobo or revision of P965 itself ... there is many problems with restarts, reboots, first boot. It depend on version of BIOS you have, but i not found any version which solve this for me ...
    i using v1.9 now ... and i have problem with boot after hybernation with vista..
    after turning my computer off (in vista is normal to hybernate and shut down) i can boot my computer .. by its very strange. So, power comes up, but then instantly comes Windows Vista with logon screen - NO posting by BIOS, no RAID initial screen, no scaning for hardware... it comes instantly to windows - but windows are in some inconsistent state and i cant login (freeze/BSOD ... but pointer can be moved by mouse and login button shows efect if i move pointer over - so windows are in memory and working) ... in this state is HDD led all time ON (shining) ... i can shut down and boot up again and everything is OK (windows are normaly restored from disk)
    with older v1.5 BIOS ... my computer goes to same state like is described here - BLANK ... and BIOS setting was reseted
    so and here is one similiar problem

  • MSI K8T Neo Boot Trouble

    I just got the MSI K8T Neo, once it passes the splash screen, RAID, etc.  It will just restart.  
    Setup:
    MSI K8T Neo
    Athlon64 3000+
    Muskin Blue 3200
    Radeon 9800 Pro
    Maxtor 40GB (7200rpm)
    This is the minimum i tried to boot with still won't work.  I also have 2 Maxtor 160 GB HDD, Samsung DVD-R/CD-RW, Sony DVD+/-RW.   My case PS is Antec 300 Watt.  I've read in a lot of other posts that this isn't nearly enough.  Is this an obvious problem and i should swap up to Antec 430 or something?  Or could it possibly be something else?

    I upgraded my PSU to Antec 430 (Specs in Sig), figured that would be enough.  I guess it may not have been the problem.  I'm still just trying to boot with just Graphics card and 40 GB HDD, windows xp sp1.  Everytime it boots it passes the Corecell screen, the raid screen, and goes into the "computer did not safely shut down."  I've tried safe mode, regularly, booting into command prompt.  As soon as i select the option the computer just reboots.  Checked for shorts and didn't find any.    Anyone else have any ideas of what it may be, i just can't seem to think of any other possibilities.  

  • MSI k8t neo booting issue

    First of all....
    AMD athlon 64 3200+
    MSI K8T NEO FIS2R
    Antec 400w PS
    2x Corsair 512mb Valueram
    Samsung 160GB SATA
    Gainward 5700FX Ultra 128mb Golden sample
    Samsung DVD-rom
    SAmsung DVD/RW
    i think thats everything... anyways
    i have an odd problem. When i first turned it on, the HD was on the Promise Controller. tried installing XP, hit F6, ect, setup would not recognize HD. so i put it on the Via, disabled the promise, installed XP. computer reboots, POST's,  blank screen.
    tried several times, but each time after the Bios and raid stuff, i get a blank screen. now, if i try and reinstall XP, it hangs on the "Setup is checking your hardware configuration..." and just stays there. any ideas?

    18 is the minimum of what people recommend, but you should be ok.
    In BIOS make sure emulation and legacy USB are disable, and set USB ports to 8.

  • MSI k8n neo platinum post problem

    I just bought a 2nd hand K8N neo platinum and I can't get it to post, I have reduced down to 1 stick of ram(tried all slots) vga and cpu running out of case. I have an ultra 600 psu that certainly should be doing the buisness as everything was fine on an NF7S-V2 up until 1/2 hour prior.
    On the led device it's starting 4 red then after a couple of seconds it goes 1 red 2 red 3 green 4 red which I found relates to keyboard controller. I've tried with various keyboards but no joy. I get nothing on the screen at all but that's the next stage in post.
    My memory is Twinmos 3200 twin x 2 x 512 double sided, which I saw in the sticky can be troublesome.
    Any body got any ideas?

    i am having an almost identical problem.
    First the system wont go past post,then i realised it would but only boot if i had the USB mouse unplugged (i noticed the d-brackets lights changed after i unplugged the mouse)
    then i was able to get to windows, however i couldn't do much (mouse wouldnt detect if replugged, keyboard not detected - all lights off)
    So i tried clearing the CMOS
    now i am having the same problem, except this time i get CMOS checksum error - defaults loaded
    then it tells me to press f1 to continue to del to enter setup, which i cant do since the keyboard wont work. so now im totally bamboozled
    I've tried changing the PSU as well with no luck (both were 500watts)
    Funny thing is, the pc having the problem is identical to the pc im writing on now, presonally i think the motherboard is not v good, since alot of people have this problem or similar to it. (and yes im using the keyboard and mouse now, that i tested on the other pc)
    SPECS:
    MSI k8N Neo Platinum
    Powercolor Radeon 9800 Pro
    AMD 64 3000+
    1GB Geil Memory
    Maxtor 160GB
    500watt Magna Dual Fans
    Will check what the D-bracket says and will report back.
    ok here goes:
    (with usb mouse plugged in)
    1= green
    2= red
    3=red
    4=green
    (without usb mouse plugged in) - but bare in mind i cant press f1 (no keyboard) to continue else i would probably be able to get to windows.
    1= green
    2= green
    3=green
    4=red
