MSI 875P Neo and Bios Version 1.6

I have an MSI 875P LSR Board. It works fine but the system temperature is always running at 50-60 degrees C.
I am running bios version 1.2 and I was wondering if it is worth while to upgrade to version 1.6 as my system is stable. I dont feel really comfortable flashing the bios I am running Windows XP with NTFS partition.

Maesus-how much lower do you feel the "real" temperature is? Would perhaps 10C be a fair estimate? I'm still waiting for my friend to dig out his thermal probe so that I can get an accurate reading. I too am still using bios 1.2(rock stable with excellent game play)but am considering a bios upgrade if I purchase faster memory which I'm not sure that version 1.2 would make full use of.

Yesterday i tried to use CoreCenter and went to 215MHz (3.6 Ghz i think) with no hitch.
Now my question is with this configuration what can i reach and what to use (CoreCenter or Bios) ?
And which OC for the memory ??

I think use bios is better because of more flexibility. You can go up to about 3.5GHz.

Probems with msi 875p neo Fis2r and network controller driver

Hi guys just wondering if anyone could help me with my msi 875p neo FIS2R and problems with the network controller driver/network card.
I'm running xp on a computer my nextdoor neighbour gave me. I got it working fine with service pack 3 installed but then installed a bunch of windows updates last night and the computer would switch itself off before windows could start. Now I reinstalled xp and unfortunately it does not recognise the network controller/card at all now. I tried installing the intel network controller drivers but it stopped because it said no intel adapter/card was installed/present. Could anyone please help with suggestions? I tried running everest and under newtwork it doesnt list intel network adapters but I'm pretty certain it is. Again any suggestions?

Clear CMOS with your PSU unplugged from A/C power. Then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS and retest.
thanks jimi... jack
will try that and post later if it worked... ive never cleared cmos, this sort of thing is relatively new to me but thanks again

Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 with MSI MS K8N Neo Platinum (Bios Version 1.40)

I am interested in Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 (PC4000) 512MB DDR-SDRAM. Currently, I’m using MSI MS K8N Neo Platinum (Bios Version 1.40) with AMD 64bit 2800+ & MSI MS 8907 FX5200-TD128 AGP Card.
Please advice whether the Kingmax Hardcore DDR500 (PC4000) 512MB DDR-SDRAM compatible with my systems.

The "safe mode" that the BIOS message refers to is not related to Windows' Safe Mode. The BIOS safe mode lets you un-do any overclocking or memory settings that might make your computer so unstable that you can't even get into the BIOS settings to change them. In that case, you hold insert while powering on to reset the BIOS to default safe values.
As for your problem getting into Windows' Safe Mode. If you upgraded from another motherboard that uses a different chipset, or if you somehow got the wrong chipset drivers installed, then the old AGP GART or chipset drivers will cause the system to halt/reboot very early in the Windows boot process even in safe mode. I've run into this problem before and its tricky. Best thing to do is switch back to the old motherboard, then go into safe mode and remove all chipset-related drivers, and then switch back to the new motherboard. If you can't do that, try running system repair from the windows setup CD. And failing that, you'd probably have to fully re-install the OS.

Problem with S-ATA optical drive(MSI 875P Neo)

Ahoy MSIers,
I am in a most dire situation, and before I go to spend money on some computer-tech guy to solve my problem, I thought maybe you could help me.
*My PC specs:
Intel Pentium 4 Northwood C 2800Mhz
MSI 875P Neo
A-DATA 512Mb RAM DDR 400 * 2(1024)
PowerColor Radeon 9800Pro
Western Digital Hard Drive 80Gb 8Mb buffer P-ATA
Pioneer DVR-212D S-ATA (The main issue here)
Bios - AMIBIOS - VERSION 3.31a
Windows XP Pro - SP2
Until 2 days ago I owned an MSI CD(P-ATA) burner which was virtually dead.
2 days ago, It died completely, So I decided that I will not just replace a CD burner for a CD burner... no! I will buy myself a new shiny DVD burner!
So I bought myself a Pioneer DVR-212D(S-ATA) and I went on with installing it.
I plugged the Serial Power Cable from the PSU to the drive, and connected the drive and the S-ATA port on my M-Board with a serial-ata cable.
I booted up, and found that the device was nowhere to be found although power is being transferred to it(the drive opens and closes when pressing it's eject button).
I searched the net and found that I was supposed to "enable" S-ATA in my BIOS.
Tried that, yet every setting I tried besides the default setting gives makes the computer freeze for a few minutes at the MSI logo and then a "friendly" error massage appears, usually it's something like
"4th master drive ATAPI incompatible" ( the number changes, I haven't got a clue why).
Searched the net a bit more and found almost nothing... most s-ata "problems" were about booting from a s-ata hard drive....
I am getting desperate, So in order to maximize the chances of me getting help solving this issue, I took a few pictures of the BIOS and the inside of my case... maybe it will help, I dunno.
Here are some pics:
The S-ATA cable connected to the Mother-Board
Back of the DVD burner with the S-ATA cable attached
BIOS - standard CMOS features
BIOS - Integrated Peripherals
On-Chip IDE configuration
P.S
I have a DVD ROM(Toshiba, nothing special) and I would of course occasionally like to burn Dvds/Cd's from my DVD ROM to my DVD burner. However, seeing as the DVD burner is S-ATA, there is no physical connection what so ever between the two drives(unlike in P-ATA connection where each cable has 3 "connections", 2 for drives(hard or optical) and one for the Motherboard) I really don't know how I can "achieve" this.

A friend of my father's, whose occupation is a computer technician toke a look at the PC and bios settings today.
WE tried EVERYTHING and It still wouldn't work so we concluded that the problem is probably in the hardware.
There were two possible "suspects" here - The Mother Board(specificially the S-ATA controller/ports on it) or the drive itself.
We connected the drive to my sister's computer and it worked like a charm.
So the answer was clear - something was wrong with the board.
I replaced my S-ATA drive for an IDE drive, and all is well.
Well
that's the end of that story

BUG with Memory CAS-Latency with MSI i848P Neo-LS BIOS

I have a bug with MSI i848P Neo-LS BIOS. I try many MSI i848P with same trouble : the CAS Latency is always set to 2.0 even if the memory is CAS Latency 2.5.
It doesn't depend on PSU or others things (graphics card,...).
Try with Pentium 4C 2.6 or 2.8
But I have just one brand of memory (but many different sticks). Chips reference are VT56DD32M8PC-5 (256 or 512 Mb). This memory are reference as Cas Latency 2.5
If I set memory timings on SPD or manual : same result !!!
If I set memory speed on AUTO or 400 MHz : same result !!!
If I set other timings, then they are save correctly (ie : RAS# precharge set to 3 or 4).
I check timings with latest version of Memtest86+ V1.0 : http://www.memtest.org/
and of course, I get many errors.
The same memory tested on others mobo, give good results.
I try Windows XP installation and I get.... blue screens.
With some memory sticks : I have this message "memory timing too tighly",
if I press F1 to continue: then I get a memory cas latency of 2.5 with memtest86+ and then no error.
I try BIOS revision 1.0 (default) and 1.2: same result !!!
So, as I said before, I think this is a bug with the BIOS. I agree that a BIOS cannot detect correctly all kind of memory, but if you set memory timings manualy, then it must be set as you want ! ?
Any idea...
Thanks

H0 Alex,
You are correct.I have the same problem with my 875p neo lsr on bios 1.9. TH0S 0S B0OS BUG.but everyone says your psu is not enough or your rams isnt on the MSI Memory Compatability List.
why all of rams I try give same result?
MS0 boards works only with 10 or 20 ram.you don't say customer why you use this rams?
why in asus boards many os these rams working properly.This rams isnt on the MSI Memory Compatability List.but working.I try many no name rams and results are very good in all of the tests.
In my opinion MS0 bioses doesnt work good enough.

[875P Neo Series] MSI 875P Neo-FISR adn ECC registered DIMMS

I have purchased the MSI 875P Neo-FISR (PCB 2.0) and installed a 512MB DDR333, PC2700, CL2.5, ECC registered dimm (HYS72D64300GBR-6-C) but the system won't boot up. I have a Intel Pentium 4 3 GHZ CPU, 512K cache, 800 MHZ bus installed. When I install a 512MB PC2100 unregistered the system works OK, but not with the registered ECC registered DIMM. In the manual it is quoted as saying it supports this type of memory. I have updated the BIOS to the latest version from the MSI website. Any ideas ????

MSI 875P Neo FIS2R + 3.4 Ghz Prescott / Northwood?

Hello.
I looked a little around on these pages, but I couldn't find answers to my question.
I have a MSI 875P NEO FIS2R, and BIOS version 1.8. Right now I'm using a 3.0 Ghz Processor, but I would like to upgrade to a slightly faster one. Can I upgrade to either a 3.4 Ghz Prescott or a Northwood 3.4 Ghz without updating my BIOS?
I have seen so many on this forum failing to upgrade the BIOS and thus having a ruined MB
I know there used to be a schematic that showed which processors the diferent BIOS'es could handle.
-I hope someone can help me out.
Thank you in advance for your time

Thank you very much for your reply, I appreciate it.
I can see that my signature hasn't been completly updated, but now I have 2048 MB Kingston memory.
The reason I ask about the processor is, that I would like my PC to perform better in Microsoft Flightsimulator X, and they recommend a 3.6 Ghz processor or higher. But you don't think I'll notice the difference from a 3.0 Ghz to a 3.4 Ghz?
I'm definately not upgrading to just 3.2 GHz, that would be foolish as you say.
I have an additional question, if you don't mind:
I'm also upgrading my GFX to a X1950 pro. But again, Microsoft recommends a 512 MB graphics card, but do you think that I should just go for a 256 MB, or should I get the 512 MB card? Will I notice the difference?

New MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R, WinXP BSOD

I just got and installed the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R. I have Libranet linux 2.8.1 which I can boot into (fast as heck too). When I try to boot into window, I get a BSOD with nothing very descriptive in it except to try chkdsk /f. I have tried playing with the various bios settings with no luck. Is this an instance where I need to reinstall XP? :(

Kingston PC2700 (DDR333)
Nvidia TI4600

Hopefully you DONT have both OS'S on the same partition? Do you. #2 Do you have BIOS option BOOT TO OTHER OS ENABLED? #3 There has been a lot of people having problems with FRESH WINDOWS XP INSTALL and CREATIVE AUDIGY CARDS! If you HAVE REINSTALL WINDOWS XP REMOVE SOUND CARD FIRST!! After you are done PLUG IN CARD, DO NOT USE NEW HARDWARE WIZARD. INSTALL DRIVERS MANUALLY. Then go to creative website and DOWNLOAD PCI LATENCY PATCH!! Other then that WE need more INFO!..Sean REILLY875

MSI 875P Neo-LSR

I have a MSI 875P Neo-LSR. I installed Windows XP sp1 and everything in my computer. All of a sudden it doesn't recognize my CD-ROM Drive. It doesn't let me eject the drive. I see the CD-ROM Drive in the bios, but not in Windows. What could be wrong? I also have the keyboard controller light in the USB indicator bracket light up sometimes I reboot the computer and it locks up.

Goto safe mode and delete the driver. Sometimes when you install SP1 it duplicates the drivers instead of updating them. Once you delete the driver restart into normal and it will reinstall the new driver for the cdrom.

How to disable AGP Fast Write with MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R ??

How can I disable AGP Fast Write with the MSI 875P Neo-FIS2R ? I can't find an option for this in the BIOS !

You wont usually find this option in most MB BIOSES , as the only Option that SOME BIOSES Have is the Option to enable, disable SBA (Side Band Addressing) for the AGP Bus....In order for you to Disable or Enable the FW, You Must have the Option in your Vidio Drivers Controll Panel.....If you have a NVIDIA Card, you Must go to http://www.guru3d.com And Download the program "NVHardpage" and then Open the Program and you wil have the Choice to Enable these options and they will then appear in your Vidio driver CP >> "Activate "Coolbitts" (this is NVIDIAS Overclocking Utility) Activate "Harware Options", and then Activate "AGP Options" and finally Activate "Performance Options"........If you have a ATI Card then you must Download one of thier "Tweeking Utilities".......I will Post the Direct "Link" for NVHardpage in a Minute, just say yes to the Lic.

MSI 875P NEO FIS2R AGP problems

I have just purchased an MSI 875P NEO FIS2R motherboard and there is a sticker covering the AGP slot which says "Please use only 1.5V AGP cards to avoid pernament damage to this mainboard". However, on the website it says here http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=434
"One AGP slot supports 8x/4x at 0.8V (AGP 3.0) or 4x at 1.5V
(3.3V is not supported)." I want to use 8x agp @ 0.8v and the website says this ok but the sticker on the AGP slot on the motherboard says only 1.5V. Is this a mistake on the website or on the Motherboard and is it possible for me to use 8x AGP @ 0.8V without damaging the motherboard?
I want to use an ATI radeon 9800pro.
Anybody using 8x agp @ 0.8V and have they have any problems?

Assaf IS THE MAN!! His answers are NEVER WRONG.. WORRY NO MORE about the voltage...

MSI 875P Neo LSR Dead??

Hi y'all,
Saturday 12th of juli I've bought some components:
- Intel P4 3.0GHz 800MHz FSB
- MSI 875P Neo LSR
- 2*512MB Kingston HyperX PC3200 CL2
- Hercules 3D Prophet 9800 Pro
- Iiyama Vision Master Pro 413
After installing the whole bunch, I tried to boot the system but nothing happend!
So I waited for about 5 min. and booted again. This time almost succesfull but..... the only parts that were working are my fans (casefans, cpu-fan and the Northbridge-fan).
The powerswitch wasn't working (and it was installed correctly). I had to power the system via the powerswitch on my powersupply. So my guess was that my mobo was dead!
After returning the mobo back to my retailler, they concluded that it was dead indeed, so the gave me another mobo.
So after installing the new board, I tried to boot again, but still no succes so far.
My retailer tested the board again and it was also dead.
Some symptoms:
- Active fans
- No HDD, floppy and DVD-player/Burner activity
- Blank screen (display in standby)
- Instant power on when I turn the switch on on my powersupply
I've tried different videocards, memory modules and clearing the C-MOS, bur nothing seems to help ;(
Can you please help me out????
Thanks
Best regards,
Arjan

With regard to the motherboard stand-offs, motherboards dont always use the same amount or in the same position (the stand-offs are movable -either bending out of brackets in the case or unscrewing)
Always check ALL the standoffs line-up with screw positions for your moterboard before fitting, a wrongly positioned post can short-out PCB traces/pins
Another easily overlooked item is the square 4 pin 12v connector (older type power supplys dont even have one), the 12v power connector is located by the northbrige/AGP socket (the CPU will not start without this fitted)
Sometimes when physicaly altering a computer the reset or power-on (start) switchs dont line up correctly with their buttons -this can cause the switch to be permanently "on"
The power-on switch will cause the computer to "cycle" (constant restarting) and the reset switch will cause the computer to hang with-out initialising -try removing the reset switch connector from the motherboard
If none of those are the problem i would suggest trying a different power supply -or maybe your dealer could check the one you are using at the moment
