MSI 945P NEO-F, soundblaster problem

MSI 945P NEO-F, I945P, Socket-775, ATX S-ATAII, GbLAN, DDR2, PCI-Ex16
Intel Pentium D 930 3.0GHz Socket LGA775, 4MB, (overclocked to 3.2)

WD800GD Western Digital 80GB WD Raptor Serial ATA Drive
(including above raptor there are 5 internal hd's, 2 dvd burners)
im trying to install a Creative SoundBlaster Audigy 2 ZS
i uninstalled all drivers for on board sound card
and then disabled on board sound in the bios
then when i install hardware and drivers for new soundcard it doesnt work
im a newbe at this is the jumpers or something i have to change?
sorry if this is in wrong section

my system detects the soundcard but the creative control center does not detect it
"no cards found"
im running vista at moment (using vista creative drivers)
(in xp detected device and creative control center detected it too but no sound)
i may invest in new psu alright but i dont think this is the problem in this case as i tryed soundcard before i bought hard drives
the soundcard is probably 7 years old maybe its just no supported????
(it was top of its range 400 euro in its day)

  • MSI 945P Neo-F - PC doesn't boot

    Hey,
    my PC worked for about 1 1/2 years, but a few days ago suddenly it didn't boot - the screen was black and the PC made some beep sounds (1x long, 2x short -> video card defect). I installed the D-Bracket and it says, that there is a problem with the floppy device (but i have NOT a floppy device). I did the C-MOS reset -> nothing changed. I changed the RAM sticks -> nothing changed. I unplugged all devices (but video card, CPU, RAM, PSU) -> nothing changed. What shall I do now? (I have no other video card - only AGP, but my board doesn't support AGP)
    PC Data:
    Mainboard: MSI 945P Neo-F
    CPU: Intel Pentium D 920
    Power Supply Unit: 350W (with case "Jou Jye JJ-7029B")  Detailled Specifications
    RAM: 1024MB (and also tested with 512MB DDR2 Corsair Value-Kit [Dual-Channel])
    Video-Card: MSI NX6600 - VTD256EH passiv
    And... Sound+Networkcard, Mouse+Keyboard, DVD-Drive

    1) Reset CMOS
    2) Test with only 1 x RAM
    3) Test with a better PSU
    4) Test with another GPU
    Btw, I'll move your thread to Pentium 4 and Core Duo section for more discussions.

  • MSI 945p Neo-2 V Hanging...help!

    Hi, after an exhaustive search regarding the problem and one previous post topic about the same thing happening (with absolutely no resolution, I might add) I've decided to start a new post topic to see if anything can be done.
    I have in my possession an MSI 945p Neo-2 V (MS 7176 ver. 2A1 written between PCI slots) connected to various other components, all of which appear in my signature.  When everything is connected and the power switch is pressed, the power turns on, the heatsink fan and computer fan both turn on and the hard drive clicks to life.  After that..nothing.  No bios, no "no os detected", nothing screaming at me that I done eff'd up.  At this point the diagnostic bracket sits on this:
    1. Red 2. Red
    4. Red 3. Green
    which tells me it's hanging on the video initialization.  After RMAing the first board that did this to me and getting a completely new board and processor, the same thing happens. 
    I have tried the various steps suggested in the other topic: separate component testing, using only one memstick to get bios to post, sitting the mobo on a non-conductive surface and turning it on, checking front panel jumper connectors, but nothing seems to be working.  I swapped out every component with known working ones to no avail.  I swapped in every component to a working computer and separately they all work fine as well.  The people I'm making this computer for have been waiting about a month for the RMA to go through and everything and I'm about to lose both my mind and reputation here.  Can anyone help?
    EDIT:  Here's a link to the original topic I found - https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=94091.0
    Other Edit:  guess it's a neo-2 v, not h

    i suggest you to swap the graphic card first and see how it goes.
    Prior to this incident did you OC your rig??
    Alternatively try clearing cmos or jump start the psu using a screw driver
    -Yes, I swapped out graphics cards, with a known working one.  Still no change.  I thought "broken pci-e x16 slot" but this is the second mobo of that type that's doing this, so either this particular type of mobo is crap or I'm getting shafted.
    -No I never OC'd (wasn't going to try, either), since it never got past the video init, and therefore couldn't get to the bios.
    -Cleared the cmos (the JBAT1 jumper I believe) and still no change.
    -And I really don't trust myself with a screwdriver and electricity.
    -Finally, no, I didn't update the bios.  This happened out-of-box.

  • 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.

  • 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 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 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 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

  • AMD64 3200 + MSI K8T Neo FISR2 memory problem

    I've had one KVR400X64C25/512 and it have worked like a charm. Now I've bought another one (total 1gb).
    When I've inserted it and start the computer I only get the CoreCell logo scren, it do not boot correctly.
    AMIBIOS is version 3.21a
    I've tried the following:
    * run only the new memory [works]
    * run only the old memory [works]
    * DIMM1 + DIMM3 [only CoreCell screen]
    * DIMM1 + DIMM2 [only CoreCell screen]
    * DIMM2 + DIMM3 [only a black screen]
    what should I do?

    Quote from: Tiresmoke on 22-August-05, 21:48:12
    A PSU is rated to run at +/-5% and that is well within it's rating. As for wether ists big enough there is no way we can say as you still did not give full system specs.
    If it won't run with the third stick of RAM then pull it out for the moment and see if the system will boot again. If it does then during post you will see a Bios version listed. That board only supports Bios versions to 2.2 at the moment so please also list what actuall Bios version you have.
    Ok, have booted with one instead of two sticks (one works, two don't, do not have three sticks)..
    AMIBIOS A6702VMS v2.2 released 030405. The autodetect settings (at startup): Clock = 400Mhz, CAS 2.5 which seems correct.

  • MSI K8t NEO + Audigy Boot Problem only when power is unplugged on the PSU

    I ran into a really weird problem today.
    I switched the ps off by reaching back and pressing the button. I repress the button to power on the ps, then I click on the button in the fron of the case to power up the machine. System keeps rebooting itself every 1 sec. Bracket shows 4 red lights. In the manual, it says it means bad cpu. I remove the audigy and it boots fine. I install the audigy, 4 red lights.
    So, This time instead of turning the puter off by using the button on ps. I used the button on the case by holding it down for 5 seconds. I reboot and puter boots normally.
    So the problem is, if i turn the puter off by using the button on the PS and with audigy in the syste. Nothing on screen, and puter keeps rebooting itself every one second. Solution is to turn the puter off by using the button on the case.
    Has anyone ran into this problem? I have never had this kind of problem. It is really weird. Any feedback is apreciated.
    Oh and it is only with audigy. I tested this with original live, and also other PCI cards like nic, and another cheap sound card. Non of these cards showed this problem.

    Cavemankr!
    I never knew you could shut down the computer by holding down the start button for 5 seconds.... well I've never really had the need to...until I got this K8T Neo job. I wondered why it wouldn't turn off when I just pushed it. I've been using the PSU switch with these problems.
    Yep! She booted right up. Audigy back in action. I also realized I had my PC hooked straight in the wall (while checking to see if my surge protector was working this weekend), so turning off the surge protector wasn't cutting power to the cheapo PSU.
    So put me in your camp!
    I'll just plug the PC straight into the UPS and keep power fed to the Enermax. I hope that was the cause of my keyboard/mouse cold boot problem also.
    I'll assume the cheapo PSU will behave similarly. I don't really want to go through the swap again.  
    I wonder why that happens!
