MSI K8N Neo3-F + MSI NX 6200LE-TD128E (PCX) - won't boot

Last time I bought 2 things:
Mobo - MSI K8N Neo3-F
Graphic Card - MSI NX 6200LE-TD128E with TC (PCX)
When I start PC I have seen only black screen and hear noise from PC Speaker 
Mobo didn't see graphic card. To check graphic card I install it on second mobo (MSI K8N Neo4 Platinium) and when I start it,it work fine.
To check PCX slot on mobo i install second graphic card (MSI NX6600 GT) and when I start it, it work fine too.  
Next step was mobo BIOS update but it nothing change and PC with  K8N Neo3 + NX6200LE still won't boot.
Graphic card BIOS is newest.
Anyone have idea why K8N Neo3-F + NX6200LE doesn't want work together.
PS1. sorry for my english
PS2. K8N Neo3-F + Geforce MX 400 on AGP work fine.

  • MSI K8N Neo-4 Platinum (7125) 1.4 BIOS Won't Boot WinXP

    1.4 is a buggy BIOS! My computer restarts while loading Windows XP with this new BIOS! CAn't believe they released this crap! I'm going to attempt to use the 1.41 beta BIOS otherwise I'm reverting back to the last BIOS
    Update: Tried 1.40, 1.41, and 1.52 with no success - reverting to 1.3 (hope this works otherwise a repair install probably won't do the trick)
    Update: Now my computer is only detecting 768MB's of my 1GB of RAM, before I updated to 1.4  from 1.3 everything was fine. I just downgraded to 1.2 and my computer is still only detecting 768MB. I've tested both modules alone and they are detected as 524MB's each. I also tried switching to single channel mode and it is still showing up as 768MB's out of my 1GB. This is driving me nuts!
    I am now going to attempt to try 1.4 and 1.52 beta again. Please help if you can?

  • Is the MSI NX6600LE TD256E incompatible with MSI K8N Neo3 mainboard ?

    Hello people,
    I have a very ugly problem here. I have an MSI K8N Neo3 mainboard here, that with PCI Express and AGP slots.
    It was working fine for a while, so I dont think the mainboard itself is bad.
    Originally, an Inno3D Geforce 6200 with Turbo Cache, was installed on that computer. However, in the past week the owner buyed a copy of Battlefield 2 to have some fun, he also buyed an MSI NX6600LE TD256E PCI Express graphic card to replace the Inno3D Geforce 6200 with Turbo Cache.
    I got that PC here today, in order to install the new MSI Graphic card, and also install the game. Now comes the ugly part: I cannot get that card to work in that computer, and I don't know why.
    At first I thought that the card was defective, so I took it out of that PC and installed it on my own PC, and the card works in my PC (see signature), and my PC's graphics card works fine on the other PC (the K8N Neo3). Even the old Inno3D card works fine.
    Since the card works fine in my PC (I've used it while writing this post), and my PC's graphic card works fine in the other PC, as well as the old Inno3D card, the only thing left for me to think is that the NX6600LE TD256E card is not compatible with the K8N Neo3 board, but that seems too strange for me.  
    Can any one here tell me if there's some kind of compatibility problems between the MSI K8N Neo3 mainboard and the MSI NX6600LE TD256 Graphic card ?
    Any help is welcome,

    Update:
    The card is compatible with the board. What was incompatible with the card, was a little chip in the board (fried) which I didn't noticed during the first inspection of the board.
    Curious thing is that it accepted other cards and not the NX6600LE, but in the end, not even my own NX6600 card, or any other PCIe card worked at all. I guess the little chip suffered some kind of damage due to power problems in the place where the computer was. With this in mind, an electrical technician will be sent to the place to verify the electrical installations for problems of any kind, so we can correct them and prevent future problems.
    Back to the board thing,  a new K8N Neo4-F board has taken the place of the semi-toasted K8N Neo3 board. Also, and thanks to the hibrid design of the K8N Neo3, we will still be able to use it. The PCIe slot is dead for sure, but the AGR Slot still works well, so we'll use it for traditional desktop aplications, such as word processors, internet surfing, e-mail, document scanning and printing, etc, etc, etc...
    Well, that's all. I just wanted you guys to know; so no one keeps looking for an an answer to this (now solved) mystery. For me this case is now closed, so if no one is interested into it, Admins... feel free to delete the entire thread 
    Be well you all,
    Edwin

  • MSI K8N NEO3-F Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX

    I must not have stated my problem clearly. When I built my computer I turned on the power from the back, and the case lit up. (power switch on PSU) I was excited because this was my first build. When the bios popped up, it did not detect my hard drive. I then shut down the computer. I resat the ATA cables heading to my hard drive. When I went to turn the computer back on, the PC wouldn't start. I tried resitting everything on my Computer. I tried using only one RAM, resat video card, CPU, and even tried resetting the cmos.
    Eventually I found that if I pull the lithium battery from my motherboard, my computer will turn on. The computer will run without the battery, or if I resit the battery. The battery on a motherboard only deals with the bios and the time and such. It doesn't make any sense at all. I am going to test my powersupply tomarrow and then my video card on a laiter date. I have tried replacing the battery. Getting around this problem wass not hard, I have installed games that look phenomal. I was succesfully able to install my OS also. Resetting the bios on every load up is not fun.
    My other recent problem has been with the video card though(this is why im going to test with another VC). When I resit the battery after shut down, and turn my PC back on, the Video Card over powers it self. For three minutes the monitor wont recognize my card and my card pushes as if it was running DOOM3. Finally it steadies out and the monitor turnes on. Please help me out if you have any good info for me. I'll try anything at this point. I'm not computer illeterate.
    I am an Intern with TWC's IT departement. I am also going to school for computer science. The A++ side of computing I had never learned.
    .......Every where I go with this problem, no one seems to know the answer. No one will even throw ideas at me. Someone please help me out
    Heres my PC:
    ASPIRE ATX-AS520W
    MSI K8N NEO3-F Socket 754 NVIDIA nForce4 ATX
    AMD Athlon64 3200+
    Sapphire Radeon X800Pro
    Samsung Spinpoint 160GB
    2*512 MB Crucial Memory

    MaYBE I'm not really understanding the problem here...Are you trying to use the switch on the PSU to begin the boot process?  If so, hopefully, you should continue to have trouble doing that, it's not supposeed to work that way.  If the computer starts with the power switch on the PSU there might be a problem with the CMOS jumper, jbat1, being in the wrong position...continue to post your changes and progress and someone will continue to help you, there's a lot of good heads around here, but there's a lot of guys with problems too...add as much of your configuration info to your signature as you can find out, that will help us help you as well...

  • Problems with MSI K8N-Neo3 and Command Queing.

    I had some problems with two computers, based on the MSI K8N-Neo3 mainboard - they wouldn't boot into Windows after installing the drivers for the graphiccards. Before the breakdown of the forum, some people suggested that I was using to small PSUs. In the meantime I've solved the problem, by disabling the Command Queing feature in the drivers. Seems there may be a problem with the MSI board, and Maxtor SATA drives with Command Queing.
    Key system components for the two computers:
    AMD Sempron 3000+
    MSI K8N-Neo3
    1 GB Kingston PC3200 DDR-SDRAM
    MSI GeForce 6600GT or MSI GeForce 6600LE graphics
    Maxtor 120 GB SATA disk (6L120M0)
    Sony DVD-RW drive
    Anyway, I wanna say thanks for the quick answers...

    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 neo3 cool 'n' quiet & amd a64 sempron 2800+

    nice forum! I hope you guys can help me out.
    here's the deal.
    I am what one would call a computer expert, but unfortunately I seem to miss something in this particular matter, unlike in other cases, which is very frustrating.
    I personally own loads of MSI boards, most of which for amd64 systems, so I have experience with the drivers and utilities and I know how to get these systems up and running with cool 'n' quiet, except for this particular system. I know the cpu can't be to blame for this, since it supports cool 'n' quiet. I also have owned some other boards from other manufacturers (also amd64), so I'd like to think that I am aquainted with the technology.
    msi k8n neo3 motherboard:
    - bought this one three days ago
    - came with bios version 1.05x (!!!)
    - updated the bios to 1.5x (amongst others because of the sempron support)
    - enabled the coolnquiet feature (OC options were enabled, settings to optimized, captain etc. etc. (what I usually do)).
    - installed the drivers from the cd; the .inf driver was also installed (I saw a screen confirming that).
    - put energy management to minimalized setting
    - rebooted
    and... nothing! well, except for the normal speed it should not be running on at 0% cpu load (1607 MHz).
    tried installing the standard amd driver from the amd website; also nothing... I did come across this problem once before and then I had to conclude that the problem could be resolved by installing another amd a64 driver package that came from another manufacturer's motherboard cd (which should not be the problem of course, because this driver (just as the cpu) should be generic).
    configuration:
    - this board @ bios 1.5x
    - amd 2800+ sempron (latest model) + boxed cooler
    - 2x samsung ddr400 512mb (also tested it with corsair modules)
    - dvd-drive
    - couple of hard drives connected to pata/sata, no raid enabled.
    - winxp-32 us. SP2
    apart from this particular problem, the system works just fine. 
    who can help me out? 

    Thanks for your replies guys.

    Appearently only Sempron 3000+ and higher support CnQ .
    Some lower models ildes down to as litte as 14W so CnQ don't make much sense in those low power models.
    Also if the multiplier is locked downwards CnQ can't work (E.g can you run 7*200 , and make it stick).
    Well, appearently this specific model does support it, I know this because it says so on the box... so why isn't it working then? 
    For the sake of the argument, what if this CPU did support CnQ, what am I doing wrong then?
    What I also can't figure out is why these CPU's, according to your statement, should be doing something like 14W in idle mode, whereas these cpu's basically aren't that different from normal amd64 cpu's, except for the support of x86-AMD64 and having a larger cache ; these fully featured amd64 cpu's need something like 80-90W in stressed mode, running on their normal clock speeds and do something like 32W when in CnQ-mode. How is that possible? Because of newer generation production processes with less nm-technology or something like that?

  • MSI K8N-Neo3 support of 90nm Sempron

    Hi there
    Anyone tried the new 90nm AMD Sempron processor with K8N-Neo3 - i've got a few problems. The problems are related to the BIOS - when i use the 90nm Sempron 2800+, i can't see the CPU VID and CPU Ratio settings in the BIOS, they simply dissapears...
    Another problem, i can't reach a FSB higher than 218 MHz on this board, and it's kind of sad - the Sempron i mentioned above, went to the max FSB on my old AOpen n250a, an early engineering sample...
    Guees my only choice is to wait for a new BIOS version... 

    Quote from: Deathstalker on 27-March-05, 22:51:26
    Tydyt,
    The question was about the Socket 939, which only work with the Neo2 and Neo4. If you have a Socket 754 it only work with the Neo and Neo3.
    Take Care,
    Richard
    I think KIJ is talking about the incomplete support of 90nm Sempron . He uses a 90nm SP 2800+ , but cannot see the adjusting option
    of CPU VID and ratios . And on the MSI website , the compatability of 90nm Sempron on K8N Neo3 is being tested , will MSI release a new
    BIOS to let the users adjust CPU core voltage on 90nm Sempron ? ( The voltage-adjusting function on CoreCenter doesn't work .)

  • MSI K8N Neo3 how to install cool n quiet

    can any one tell me how to install cool n quiet on k8n neo3.
    is core center enough to do the job of cool n quiet.
    Is my board is compatible with cool n quiet
     I am using AMD athlon 2800+ and k8n neo3with MSI FX5200 VGA card

    Refer to page 1-9 of your manual.
    Enable the feature in the bios.
    Select "minimal power management" in Windows power schemes.
    You don't need to install core center for it to work, it just lets you visually know it's working.  AMD also has a small utility to visuallize the CPU throttlling.
    To allow the CPU fan to automatically speed up or down, enable "smart CPU fan target" in the bios.
    Hope this helps.

  • Is there a big difference between MSI K8N SLI and MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboa

    i am a bit tight on budget, so I was wondering if I should get the MSI K8N SLI motherboard instead of the MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboard (my previous choice),.......what do u guys say ?

    Hi,
    Note that he is not talking about the Neo4 versions, looks like in the US MSI has different products:
    Here is the K8N SLI:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=681
    And here is the K8N NEO4 SLI:
    http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4/SLI&class=mb
    One has Sound blaster, the other does not.
    Besides, K8N SLI Platinum has only one LAN.
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=641
    While the Neo4 Platinum has two.
    http://www.msicomputer.com/product/p_spec.asp?model=K8N_Neo4_Platinum/SLI&class=mb
    A bit confusing right !? Remember that this forum is accessed by people all over the world.
    The thing is that the Neo4 and the related non-Neo are using the same BIOS AFAIK.

  • MSI K8N Neo3-FSR Support Semptron Processors?

    http://msicomputer.co.uk/products.aspx?product_id=703542
    It states support only for Athlon 64 processors.
    But how about AMD Semptron processors? Especially new Palermo (90nm) ones.
    AMD Sempron™ 2600+ (1600 Mhz, 128 Kb L2 Cache)
    AMD Sempron™ 2800+ (1600 Mhz, 256 Kb L2 Cache)
    AMD Sempron™ 3000+ (1800 Mhz, 128 L2 Cache)
    AMD Sempron™ 3100+ (1800 Mhz, 256 L2 Cache)
    AMD Sempron™ 3300+ (2000 Mhz, 128 L2 Cache)
    This MB would give a nice upgrade path thanks to AGR-slot. But without support to Semptron processors you are stuck with 130nm Athlon 64 processors.
    If someone could tell/find out is there already support for Semptrons or is it planned in next BIOS update, please let me know. Thanks.

    Thank you very much. 
    I will pass this information forward to one other forum.
    Edit: Actually I should have found that information by myself too... But noooooo...  I had to be a lazy bastard. 
    I might be actually buying this motherboard myself along with Semptron processor. Although originally I was just suggesting this for someone who had old AGP (Radeon 7500) card and wanted to update CPU+MB+Mem now and PCI-E Graphics card later. Anyone know is this a recent overclocking board?

  • MSI 990FXA-GD65 + AMD FX-6300 + 16GB 1866MHz RAM Won't Boot

    Hello,
    Today I received parts for my new gaming system (sans water cooler, using the stock heatsink+fan until then), however I'm experiencing problems with the setup.  The specs are as follows:
    - MSI 990FXA-GD65
    - AMD FX-6300 CPU
    - GSKILL 16GB (2x8GB) 1866MHz DDR3 RAM
    - Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB SSD
    - 2x MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti
    - EVGA NEX750B1 PSU
    - BitFenix Comrade case
    Upon powering on (after assembly), the Phase Indicator only has the first two LEDs lit up (Phase 2 Power Mode, according to the manual).  No output is displayed on screen.  I've tried removing and re-inserting the CPU and removing one of the graphics cards, to no avail.
    I would appreciate any help/advise that could be offered, that I might get this system up and running!
    Kind Regards

    Try to run this system out of the case on non conductive area (e.g. plain cardboard) with 1 stick of RAM only, 1 GPU (try without any graphics cards too), single HDD/SSD, PSU of course, CPU+cooler and monitor+keyboard and mouse. When booting spam Delete and it should take you to the BIOS where you have to change timings of RAM suggested in the post about GSkill memory.
    If possible, borrow different brand of RAM to test your PC with.
    Make sure that if you're running single GPU, that video cable is connected to the card. If no GPU, then to the motherboard.

  • K8N Neo3 don't work with MSI RX850XT PE?

    I want to buy a MSI K8N Neo3-F to use with my VGA AGP RX850XT PE but in the PDF linked on the specifications page ( http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/agr/7135agr.pdf ) my VGA isn't listed.
    Works or not?
    Tnx a lot

    You're going to want to find a proper agp board to drop that vid card into.
    The AGR slot isn't a full fledged agp slot so even if it did work with it, I doubt it would perform up to it's fullest.
    I'm a fan of msi boards, but if you're looking for something that would allow you to upgrade to pcie in the future, I believe that asrock is the only mobo producer making a board that has both PCIe & AGP slots.

  • Help: MSI K8N Neo Platinum

    I've had nothing but problems trying to get this system running properly at any overclocking selections. Can you please review my components and give me suggestions on how to improve my situation.
    Currently my know problems are 1. The Mother Board will only read my (2) 200/Gig Hard drives as 127/Gigs. 2. Slighest overclocking & system won't boot up.

    WHAT DO I DO?
    Thoughts on my other components???

    The first thing you need to do is tighten them memory timings you killing your a64's performance
    try 2.5,3,2,8 t1 2.7v
    Get the latest bios for the neo it is a truly fast board when set up right.
    Your 3d mark 01 should be in the 15k to 20k range
    If you are running 200gb hdds you need to run sp1 on windows xp as xp does not recognise drives over 137gb
    run your pci at 67 or 68
    drop your htt to 3x
    before you try to over clock you system get it running well at stock speeds or you will end up in a mess, there is not much point o/cin if its not.
    Msi neo need a bit of tweaking but it runs like a dream when you do.
    All your parts look ok

  • MSI k8n nforce3 s754 no post problem?!

    Just had my mobo and cpu RMA'ed and it turned out the cpu was faulty.
    So i got a new one(amd64 athlon 3000+ "venice" s754)
    But when i installed the new cpu and the mobo(MSI K8N neo nforce 3 platinum s754)
    the pc won't POST.I just get 1 long beep about every 5sec and it goes on and on and on.
    All fans are spinning,have tried 5 different ramsticks(corsair value s 512mbx3,veritech 1Gbx2)
    in different dimm slots.have tried with the mobo outside the rack but to no good.have cleared
    CMOS both with battery and jumper.
    Could it be that the mobo(bios) won't recognise the S754 venice cpu as it hasn't been out that long?
    The cpu code is:ada3000aik4bx if it's any help.
    My old system works fine(XP2800+,Asus KV7,asus x800xl)
    MSI K8N neo nforce platinum 250gb s754
    AMD64 3000+ "venice" s754
    Asus x800xl
    Chieftech 360w psu

    Indeed if its Venice its 90nm and should use less power (see first  pic - hot clickable thumbnail) . But its 754 and I've found that 754 needs more power (when I've build them before using other cores). I can run my rig (see sig) on 18A but its true power and on later versions ANTEC state that they upped 12V to 22A. But I'am not sure they did anythink but change the sticker ! (as I've used both 18 and 22 and can see no diff and S/N are not far off each other) As my PSU in tests outputted 471W. So the question is: can your PSU give you true power and is it enough to power your rig stable ? As you see from the second image the cheiftec 420 managed 417 max output. Most 64 bit systems need a good stable 12V rail as they draw most power from that.
    As others have stated try bear bones, even an older GFX card (PCI or AGP with out the extra moler on it) that should draw less power and hopfully POST/boot your rig.
    I used a cheap (£20) 550W PSU that stated 30A 12V but with a 3000+ (754 venice), 512DDR, 250GB maxtor, NEC DVD/RW, 6600GT and 3 case fans.  As you can see (first pic) rails were not to bad under load. (had to use an ASUS MOBO as my suppliers stocks of MSI is drying up in 754  + for ths price I could not see any other choice for a budget build that I was asked to do with on a little time)

  • MSI P45 Neo3-FR and MSI HD4850 signal loss

    My computer:

    The problem:
    The motherboard came with BIOS version 1.0 which didn't support the E8400 E0. To fix that I had to update to version 1.3, which solved the processor issue but now the graphics card loses the signal at random while playing just about any game and after restarting the computer sometimes keeps on rebooting a couple of times. I read at the german tomshardware forum of someone with a similar problem that solved the problem by using BIOS version 1.2 but that isn't really an option for me since it doesn't support my processor. So any ideas?

    Your PSU is only capable of 18A on 12V1 and 12V2, and only 16A on 12V3.  But, that doesn't mean that the rails can deliver all those amps at the same time, it's just the max.  Try to borrow a better PSU, preferably a powerful single +12V rail one, or get one as yours is not that great.
    A good one to get would be the Corsair VX 550 or the TX 650 Corsair. Both are quiet and have powerful single +12V lines.
    According to the ati webpage the Toughpower Qfan 500W is on the supported list for HD4850/70 though. One strange thing I just noticed is that 3dmark06 and furmark seem to run stable but gaming causes random signal losses. Of course it might also be a driver issue or something else(using catalyst 8.7 with Catalyst Control Center).
    edit: Just noticed there is a new bios v1.4 available so I'll try that out and report back.
    edit2: Ok, 1.4 was a disaster and wouldn't even let me reinstall Vista without bluescreens so now I'm trying out 1.2 and it seems to be working ok so far although it doesn't officially support my cpu.
