Msi k8n neo-v v2.0 and harddisk problem

I been using this board for almost 3 years. My new (3weeks old) 500gb seagate drive works great until last week the cmos battery died but did not replace immediately due to my busy schedule. The cpu when nuts this morning unable to boot. I tried removing the memory, video card but none works. Then i tried only my old seagate 80gb it works perfectly. but when i insert the 500gb seagate it doesn't boot at all. i can't even enter the cmos setup screen when i press del.
I have many important files in the harddisk. well i don't know maybe the CMOS reset and unable to read the drive or the 500gb drive is damage.
any help? i don't know if its the mobo problem or the drive (i need all the files in the drive T_T) or should i warranty the drive. will it works after replacement?
note: i think the drive is working i can hear low noise like in my 80gb. i can't find any bios for my mobo on the official msi site and i can't use the live update because i use ubuntu in 80gb; windows on my 500gb.
thanks in advance

Does the 500GB drive is jumper-ed to SATA1?
Have you tried different sata port and different power cable for the drive?
Have you test the drive in another machine?

  • MSI K8N Neo Platinum & Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM Problem

    I have had MSI K8N Neo Platinum and 1x Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM for 11 months.
    I have had 1x Crucial Ballistix 512MB RAM for 2.5 months, for a total of two.
    I have had MSI GeForce 6600GT (NX6600GT-VTD) 128MB AGP for 1 month.
    For about 1.5 to 2 weeks, I have been seeing random crashes while playing PC games.
    I started a thread on the Hard OCP forums a few days ago.  I did not know MSI had forums =)
    Rather than re-typing, I may as well just post the link:

    My issue is also similar to this one:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=83799.0
    Thanks for the help.

    ALL RIGHT, after almost    FOUR    months my issue is FINALLY    resolved.
    It is amazing how much time passes when you are hesitant to buy parts unless you are 95% sure it will fix the problem.
    OK, here is an update as to what I remember.
    I went to BIOS 1.4 and tried many different physical and BIOS RAM configurations (Different seating, different number of DIMMs, different RAM timings, voltages, etc).
    I concluded that I could not make my PC 100% stable, but I could get it darn close.  With certain settings, such as DDR400, 2-2-2-6, 1T, 2.80V, Aggressive Timing enabled, Memtest failed test #5 every time (this is spec for my RAM).  With other settings, such as DDR333, 2.5-3-3-7, 2T, Auto V, Aggressive Timing enabled, Memtest failed test #5 maybe once out of 5000.
    I also concluded that the RAM voltage and Aggressive Timing setting was having a big impact.  Some settings would not work (failed Memtest) with RAM at 2.80V but would work with RAM at Auto V.  Some settings would not work (failed Memtest) with Aggressive Timing enabled but would work with it disabled.
    Finally, I started to occasionally get R,G,R,G (Processor Initialization) on the D-Bracket upon cold-start & warm-start, which suggests a PSU issue:
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=76972.msg542545#msg542545
    That pushed me over the top, and I decided to buy a new PSU (TG-480-U22) and a new SATA HDD (WD2500KS) just because.
    Problem solved.  Thanks for all the help.
    I will continue to buy MSI in the future just because of these forums…and a good product of course!

  • Msi k8n neo plat and 3dmark03

    with my msi k8n neo plat , bfg 6800gt, and amd 64 3400 clawhammer- i get 11,114 in 3dmark03. seems like i should be getting a higher score-any suggestions.

    You appear to have misread my post, read carefully, I said "at clock speeds" not "at stock speeds" which I think is where u misunderstood. I know it's overclocked, but who isn't going to if there is so much headroom? With coolbits you can have higher speeds when running 2d or 3d applications to keep temps low and for longevity of the card.

  • 250GB harddisk work in MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum

    Hi!
    I have a pair of WD 250GB SATA2 16MB cache harddisks (WD2500KS).
    Currently they don't work in my Asus A8N-SLI DLX (BIOS messes up LBA and CHS setting with them)
    (smaller 120 and 160 GB hdds work flawlessly in that mobo)
    So i am considering to switch to MSI K8N Neo 4 Platinum.
    can anyone confirm these babies would work in that mobo?
    Are there any known issues with higher capacity harddisks on MSI nforce 4 boards ?
    also i hear that the chipset fan is very noisy. Is that true?
    The other option would be the Abit A8N Ultra which has the heatpipe design but i am not so comfortable with Abit, since there are too mayn rumors about them.
    Any ideas?

    not heard any thing with nvidia
    there is a thing with some via

    1.3b1 - (Download)
    - Another attempt to fix temperature problems?
    - Possibly fixes cold boot/power light issues?

    --Quick Guide for flashing BIOS, provided by MSI--
    1. Create a MS-DOS boot diskette, then copy the the .exe and the bios file to the floppy disk. Both of these files can be found in the package you downloaded.
    2. Press "Delete" and go to BIOS setup while computer bootup.
    Check BIOS advanced features and see if BIOS flash write control is enabled
    (This option must be enabled. If you can not find this setting, it means the BIOS can be
    flashed.)
    3. Boot from MS-DOS boot diskette and get a:\> prompt.
    4. Type "", then press ENTER
    5. The flash program will then ask "Do you want to save BIOS?", please press "N" for no. The when you see Press 'Y' to program or 'N' to Exit, please press "Y" to continue.
    6. After flashing complete, remove floppy and reset the system .
    7. Press DELETE or F1 when prompted at first reboot after flashing.
    8. Load BIOS optimized defaults, then save settings and exits.
    Drivers & Needed Files:
    (Note: All these drivers are for Windows XP.)
    Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.40
    (Please use at your own risk, these are LEAKED drivers. Password for the .zip file is "ocworkbench rules". Also, you will need to rename the WinXP_2K folder in IDE to either WinXP or Win2K else the installer doesn't pick it up.) Thanks for the link Wonkanoby!
    *NEW* Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 5.03
    More leaked drivers? Seems some parts of the drivers are older and some are newer.
    1. Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Web Install) -or- Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Full Install)
    2. Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Web Install) -or- Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Full Install)
    3. Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.24
    4. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver Version 1.1.0.14
    5. Nvidia Video Card Driver Version 56.72 -or- Omega Nvidia Video Card Driver Version v1.5303
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard Nvidia drivers.)
    5. ATI Video Card Driver Version 4.7 -or- Omega ATI Video Card Driver Version 2.5.51
    (The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard ATI drivers.)
    6. Onboard Sound Driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec) Version A3.61
    It is HIGHLY reccomended that you install the drivers/needed files in the order listed above. Please note that there are two #5's because you either install one or the other depending on your video card, do not install both of them.
    You will come across a problem here though. You can't install the chipset drivers without installing the Windows service pack and DirectX first, but the Windows service pack and DirectX installs need the internet to download files and you won't have working internet until you install the chipset drivers. Here's what I did to get around this. Instead of downloading the web install versions of Windows service pack and DirectX, download the full version and and put them along with all the other drivers on a backup hard drive or burn them to a CD, this way you will have all the drivers you need when it's time to install them and none of them will require the internet to download files.
    Another note when installing drivers. Apparently the Nvidia chipset drivers also come with drivers for the onboard sound, but people seem to agree that the Realtek onboard sound drivers are better. When you are installing the Nvidia chipset drivers, just be sure to uncheck the box for sound drivers when it asks you which drivers you would like to install. Now you can safely install the Realtek drivers without any chance of conflicting sound drivers. Thanks for the tip Wonkanoby!

    The installer still reccomends to install it beforehand for full USB 2.0 functionality... I would have put what you said in there but I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.  
    oh.  IIRC the installer just says USB 2.0 will be fully functional after SP1 is installed.  So after you install SP1 you go into device manager and u click update driver and it will auto search and update the driver.
    Simplicity-wise, i guess its pretty much equal.  It might take less preparation to just copy DX9 full onto a CD and install that first, then nforce driver, then right away you have yoru internet connection.
    but i dunno.. i guess i will try it your way this time when my RMA"d board comes.
    i will be fomratting and doing a fresh install later on today and will let you know if i come across any problems

  • MSI k8N Neo Plat 2...system freeze and crash during h-end gaming...

    MSI k8N Neo Plat 2

    Centon 512 MB DDR 3200 x 4
    nvidia geforce fx 5700
    win xp pro
    Creative Audigy 2
    Under some graphically intensive situations, during gaming,  especially dealing with alot of background visuals, like fire/lava, etc, the system will after a short while of playing either, crash, freeze, reboot, or freeze while a loud screeching nosie emits from my speakers...I have tried updating my graphx card drivers to the most recent and the symptons still persist..Is there something I need to set in BIOS regarding mem timings, I have tried playing around some, but that hasnt worked either...Any help would be greatly appreciated !!!
    ,

    Try raising RAM voltage to 2.7v - 2.8v.
    If no go - Run Memtest86 http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
    If no go -  Try onboard Audio ( disable / remove Audigy2 )

  • MSI K8N Neo Platinum and DTR

    Heya fellas,
    I was wondering if anyone know whether or not the new MSI K8N Neo Platinum will have support for the AMD Athlon 3200+ DTR chip?  I know some boards have had trouble with them and I'm hoping that this one, since its a new reviision, will conflict with it.
    Thanks,
    -Ish-

    If that's the "Newcastle" version of the 3200+, it is supposed to work!

  • MSI K8N NEO platinum and MOBILE chips

    I just found out a problem with MSI K8N NEO Platinum.
    I recently upgraded my cpu from Clawhammer DTR 3200+ 1.5V to Clawhammer Mobile 3400+ 1.4V (hoping for better overclocking). To my surprise the mainboard can no longer raise the VCore voltage over 1.45V (it doesn’t matter if I select in the bios 1.5 or 1.55V). The only working option is raising de VCore by 3.3% 5% 8.3% 10%, resulting in a maximum VCore of 1.45 + 1.45 x 10% = 1.6V
    I did some googeling and found there is a VCore issue with the K8N NEO and mobile chips, although DTR chips are fully supported (working VCore and multiplier adjustments).
    I am using the latest beta bios 1.56B (moded by Pinochio)
    Did any of you found a way to resolve this problem? IT IS DRIVING ME INSANE!!!

  • Problems with msi k8n neo-2 and xfx 6800 card

    is this card incompatible with the msi k8n neo-2 motherboard?
    i ve got this mobo last week and when i tried to install the card to it nothing comes on screen, no beeps or nothing, ive changed the power supply, the card works fine on my old pc with both power supplies (old pc was 2500+ amd with epox 8rda+) i ve tried booting up with nothing else connected on the psu except the card itself, it still doesnt seem to work, the new motherboard works fine with my old radeon 9600 pro.
    What can i do?

    Thats not what I read (assuming this is the same correct model)
    420W double unit
    DC O/P Load Max
    +5V 42 Amp.
    +12V 16 Amp.
    +3.3V 28 Amp.
    -5V 0.5 Amp.
    -12V 0.8 Amp.
    +5VSB 2 Amp.
    Agreed that one is 420W, but is that it or not?

  • Msi k8n neo plat and microsoft ie

    getting my msi k8n neo plat board running satisfactory , except for one problem . when i got to amdmb.com, i start surfing the site, and after a minute or 2, i get a microsoft ie error, send the error report to microsoft, and then ie closes. what is the problem , is it with amdmb.com site? its the only site that this problem with ie is present, all other sites i don,t have this problem

    just tryed using the browser firefox, and it works great.  its just ie that doesn,t work on amd.mb, and only that site. wierd problem, never experienced anything like it before. had run a short memtest , no errors.  the 6800gt , msi k8n neo plat and amd 64 3400 work great. get some super madonion benchmarks-all default-1024 x 768 32bit- 22,755. i was hoping for 22,000, but exceeded my expectations. can get into the 23,000 + with overclocking the 6800gt, have had it overclocked at gpu-412, memory 1.12. not sure how much more you can increase the numbers, thinking my gpu is close to the limit at 412.had a problem with windvd, it ended up being a configuration in windvd- had to enable hardware acceleration , bingo- worked great after that. got my corsair xms pc 3200 to work at 6-3-3-2 timings. still getting to know the board,  there is definately a learning curve to be delt with on this board, but i am getting it to work better by the day.

  • MSI K8N Neo 4-F Mobo/AMD64 3200+ and OCZ 3200 FREEZE HELP!

    I have an AMD64 Winchester 3200+ Processor running on a MSI K8N Neo 4 -F Motherboard. Initially I ran 2 256MB PC-3200 2-3-3-6 modules. When I tried to install Windows it would freeze.. After 3 different attempts I finally got Windows installed, but the freezing continued. Typically it seemed to freeze whenever I installed a Program from CD. For example Office 2003 and was a nightmare. I tried numerous things to stop my problem, but in the end found the only solution was to switch out my two OCZ modules with 1 Muskin 512MB 2.5 3 3 8. Once I did that it ran fine, not as responsive as the OCZ modules but it didnt freeze! So I put the two OCZ modules back in, removed the Muskin and set the timings manually to match those that the Muskin was running on. They seemed fine for awhile, but eventually froze. Once restarted, samething occured. Now I am back on the Muskin RAM. I had planned to order 2 more of the OCZ modules to take myself to 1GB, but obviously that isnt going to work. I am a tad bit stressed out over this. Could the freezing be caused by the memory? I am concerned the memory isnt the issue and that I may have a bigger problem... I am open to ANY advice! I have done alot of googling with no help.

    Hi there,
    You'd better install windows again, format the drive and reinstall, and in that instalation it should not freeze, if it does then something is wrong, you shouldn't continue the instalation because one of the most common symptoms of a not stable system is a not smooth win instalation.
    Let us know of the mem model number so we can help you further, because some of the memory modules from OCZ need alot of Volts to work stable, it can get to 3.0v.
    Let us know the mem model e what PSU you have and Amps on it.
    Be well....
