MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R Trying to add card for internal firewire header

Tiresmoke and anyone else who can help.
Maybe you remember me I have the above board and couldnt get it to recognize my Sata drive. Well I got an RMI and sent it in for repairs. Apparently there was something wrong with it because it works like a champ now.
Now I have a new problem with it.
My new case has a front firewire plug that is wired with an internal header type plug. This MB doesnt have a header for it.  I also need any extra USB internal header for my floppy card reader, the 2 that are on the MB are being used by the "D" bracket and my front USB jacks, so I bought a card from New Egg that had both. The card is a "PCI Multimedia combo card" #15-107-112 from Link-Depot.com.  I cant get this card installed. Instructions say it should find the drivers on my XP Pro  disk with service pack 2.  When I boot windows finds new hardware but cannot find the proper drivers. IVe tried leading it to the XP disk but know luck.
The manual says I need to install three types of drivers before the combo  card will function properly. 
1. 1394 Bus Controller driver
2. ALiPCI to USB Open Host Controller driver
3. ALiPCI to USB Enhanced Host Controller driver
It says the card is compliant to IEEE 1394 Open HCI specs.
Before the card was installed Device Mgr. said there was a VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 11394 Host controller installed(There were no Yellow or red symbols on it)
Under Universal Serial Bus Controllers there are several lines:
Standard Enhanced PCI to USB Host Controller
6 USB Root Hubs
4 VIA revision 5 or later USB Universal Host Controllers
VIA USB Enhanced Controller
So now I wondering if somehow these devices from the Motherboard are causing confusion with installing the card.
Can anyone help me out here?
Thanks !!

Thanx for the reply.  I figured I could drop the D bracket but that still doesnt get me the internal firewire header.  This card has a std firewire jack  like on the back ot the computer so I had to buy a converter cable to go from the header pin plug to the std firewire plug.  Heres the link to the card I bought.

Why cant I get this card to install is still my problem.

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R - Which slot sound card?.

    Hi all,
    I have a MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R and was wondering which slot to put my sound card in?.
    At the mo it's in pci slot 4 i only have 3/4and 5 availible becuase of my arctic cooler on my rad 9800 pro.
    The sound card is on IRQ 19 sharing with the IEE1394 host controller, i dont use firewire so could i disable it in the bios?.
    Cheers all.

    Hi
    Should not make any differance, don't worry about the IRQ, let the comp sort it out, it knows whats where, better than humans do.
    Any probs, disable the onboard sound. maybe change PCI slot, but there should not be.
    cheers

  • MSI K8T NEO FIS2R No VGA help plz!

    Hi, ive just purchased a new athlon 3000 64 cpu retail and an msi k8t neo fis2r motherboard, the specs and problem are below but plz bare in mind i am a system builder for the last 3 years i have tried alot of things to solve this.
    MSI K8T NEO FIS2R MOBO
    AMD 3000 64 RETAIL CPU
    AMD RETAIL HSF
    1024MB DDR333 SAMSUNG RAM
    120 GIG WD HD
    GALAXY GLACIER GEFORCE 6800 GT 256MB
    PIONEER 106 DVD WRITER
    400 WATT PSU (TSUNAMI I THINK)
    Anyway the problem is this when i put the system together and turned it on i dont get any vga the monitor just says NO SIGNAL and when i look at the graphics card the fan on it isnt spinning.
    Yet i have my old setup which is as follows,
    ASUS A7N8X DELUXE MOBO
    AMD 3200XP BARTON
    AMD HSF
    1024MB DDR333 AMSUNG
    120 GIG WD HD
    GALAXY GLACIER GEFORCE 6800 GT 256MB
    PIONEER 106 DVD WRITER
    400 WATT PSU
    Basically the same as above i just changed the cou and mobo now when the graphics card is in that system it works fine no problems as soon as i try it in the new a64 system it doesnt work the fan doesnt spin and nothing comes on screen, ive tried everything i know ive double and trebble checked connections and ive tried removing components and then trying it, no matter what the graphics wont work.
    I figured the motherbaord must be faulty and am going to contact the place i got it from but it would be good if anyone here knows how to solve it if it isnt the motherboards fault.
    thanks very much.

    Thanks guys, huess what like an idiot i forgot to put the 4 pin 12v in :( doh
    Anyway it works fine now, but i have high temps core centre says 56 degrees right now while im typing this ? is this accurate or am i in trouble ?
    Oh yeah and everytime i load windows it says new hardware found ide channel then secondary ide channel then it says a problem occured during your new hardware installation and it calls the hardware HDC it says this twice aswell.
    ANy help guys ?
    thanks

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r problems part 3

    sometimes when the computer is turned on it just turns the fans and leds on but doesnt boot up...
    most of the time it loads up and i boot to the windows xp cd and i install the drivers for sata and then when it reaches the point of copying the files it will give me a bsod and say that there is a problem with the irql driver and then force me to shut the pc down..
    sometimes it makes it past that and will begin to copy files onto the hard drive, like somehow the data is becoming corrupted..however it will start to say that the files cant copy randomly and it will allow me to retry..they will copy the 2nd time usually..i can keep hitting retry and it will usually go by..it gets to 30 something % and then crashes to bsod just giving me some random error..for some reason the files keep screwing up that go on the sata drive....I just replaced the old power supply that wasnt working with an antec true watt 430 watt power supply, so i know it isnt that..
    i just cant figure out what the heck is going on..any help would be appreciated.my specs are
    "IRQ NOT EQUAL OR LESS"
    athlon 64 3000+ cpu
    msi k8t neo fis2r motherboard
    mushkin special cas 2.0 2-2-2-5 512 mb pc 3200
    western digital 8mb cache 80 gb sata hard drive
    sapphire radeon 9800 pro 128 mb 8x agp

    fyi look an your cd sticker ity will show power, consumption, but they are way lower than you would think, hard drives,can be only 10 watts, less then some case lights , and fans, cd are  similar.. your video, is the biggy somewhere between 90~150 watts..yikes .next to the cpu..and the mobo can use 50 or so (not sure about new mobos)  not to mention the ram 1024 is @40 watts or so., dont forget about 25watts per pci card, not counting the sound card which can be double....
    ergo the need for a big psu..
    the combined total ratting on a psu is not the max number that the psu is rated, that is surge value.. so a 500 may only hold 400 sustained , and that will drop as the machine heats up, so in the end your 500 may onlyy pull 366 @50'c...

  • Calling all old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users

    Ops i posted this in the wrong forum first time, this is the right place
    This for all MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R users, that have changed to the new MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250 mobo, if I have the chance to swap to the new board should I do so, or does this mobo have its fair share of problems?
    Is the MSI K8N Platinum nForce3 250, a better board compared to the old MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R? Not taking into account overclocking.
    Like is the onboard sound the same or worse or better in your opinion? Is it any faster at stock? Are there any other advantages?
    Thx Xe

    I had a K8T Neo Fis2r at first.  I got a K8N Neo because I believed my Blue Screens were a faulty K8T Neo.  As it turned out, the Audigy2 I had in there was the problem, because I still got Blue Screens with the K8N Neo, and when I took out the audigy and used onboard my system ran stable.
    I havent had any of the apparent keyboard controller problems, or ANY other problems with the K8N.  My only instabilities have been the Audigy2's fault.
    Havent tried overclocking on the K8N Neo yet, maybe a little down the road.  As far as features go, the K8N has the hardware firewall on it (which I dont use) but apparently its "true" gigabit ethernet is better than the K8Ts.  Dont ask me to clarify that, lol
    btw Got my turtle beach Santa Cruz today and put it in my K8N Neo, crossing my fingers... =\

  • Motherboard Monitor settings for MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R

    I'm new to motherboard monitor and there are no predefined settings available for the MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R.
    Anyone help me with the appropriate settings to monitor temps and fans?

    Lunchbox,
    Yeah I can do that - but I'm not confident of the settings or readings.  For example - the CPU temp Is only sort of correct if I set it to sensor Winbond 2 2N3904.  But after displaying what I believe is correct for a few seconds it changes to something ridiculous like 7C.  I've tried all the other board sensors listed and they either say my CPU temp is 118C or 7C.  System temp seems to work, but again I'm not sure.   Hence my post here.
    It is also odd that CoreCenter and MBM disagree about a few things.  Like the +12.00 rail Corecenter says 12.00v and MBM says 12.22V.  Or Fan 1 that is easly 2X what corecenter says.
    And if you run CoreCenter WHILE running MBM all kinds of wierdness happens - like CPU temp fluctutating wildly or CPU fan speed synchronizing and then not.
    Plus clock speed is a consistent 2001 with CC and 1998 with MBM.
    So I want someone who knows what they are doing to do the configs - clearly that's not me.

  • Will Gainward 6800GT fit my MSI K8T NEO FIS2R?

    Horror picture on a ABIT NF7-S
    I saw this picture and saw that the card i extremely long!
    Anyone here on the forum that can guarantee that my Gainward 6800GT card (with a red gainward cooler) will fit on my MSI K8T NEO FIS2R?
    MSI K8T NEO FIS2R
    Please?  

    I think I have found out the problem  
    Using my old Enermax (350) I was able to boot up the AMD 64 2800 every time but the PSU made this weird electrical sound - I think because it was being overloaded (I think as it doesn't make this sound when used with my XP 1800). I then reverted back to my new X-Pro (460w) and after a few attempts I managed to get the ram module and CPU powered... slowly adding more fans it became harder to boot and eventually the GPU fan wouldn't run once I plugged another fan in... I'm guessing this is because my PSU is too weak to power the juice guzzling AMD  
    I'll need to break the bank once again I suppose  

  • [Athlon64] MSI K8T Neo FIS2R BIOS Update when? CnQ no workie!

    The MSI K8T Neo FIS2R (MS-6702) hasn't had a BIOS update since 3-4-2005!
    I put a Sempron 64 3000+ in my motherboard, and was very disappointed that it is recognized as an "AMD Unknown Processor".  Sure, it works, but one of the reasons I bought it is in the hopes of getting AMD Cool n Quiet to work.  However, apparently the AMD driver can't recognize the CPU due to the old BIOS on the motherboard.
    Every other MSI skt 754 board supports Sempron E6 revision already.  Why not the K8T Neo FIS2R?  Where have all the MSI BIOS programmers gone?  I have been waiting 2-months for a BIOS update to support the E6 Semprons.  I have asked and begged MSI Tech Support.  I am tempted to switch to ASUS or some other company that is actually timely with BIOS updates.  Only reason I haven't yet, is this board is everything I want EXCEPT for Cool n Quiet not working.  It's starting to look like there is no BIOS update in sight, so I am very disappointed.
    Anyone here work for MSI can confirm there are no plans for a BIOS update?  Because I don't want to wait around for something that's not going to happen.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to imply I thought the mods here are MSI staff... I was just kind of hoping there's MSI staff lurking here, seeing what people think of their products or seeing what people complain about.
    No, pretty much C 'n Q is the only reason I'm disappointed, but it was something I was really set on getting to work since this is a server that's up 24/7, but isn't utilized but maybe 4hrs out of a given day.  I could reduce frequency and voltage, but unlike C 'n Q, it won't automatically increase speed and voltage based on demand - which is something I want since although it's a server, I also use it as a regular PC as well.
    I've even tried the 2.33 beta BIOS with no change, and even found a 5.52 BIOS in their BIOS testing directory.  I guess that BIOS was for a different kind of 6702, although I had pulled out the peripheral modules with AMI's MMTOOL and they looked the same as the existing BIOS, but that BIOS killed my motherboard so it couldn't have been for a regular 6702.  I had to desolder the BIOS chip with a heat gun, reprogram the old BIOS back on it with an EPROM programmer, and solder in a socket.  I guess that shows my dedication to get C 'n Q working!

  • [MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R] 2xCMX512-3200 DDR400 memories (corsair)

    I have this motherboard:MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R (MS-6702) and currently i'm using a Kingston memory and the computer runs fine. But i've buyed TWINX1024-3200 (2xCMX512-3200 DDR400) but when I put only this memories the computer after some time or when booting restart suddenly...
    Could it be about the bios version, my actual version is v1.0 and I'm using AMI BIOS.
    i've runned memtest+ and i get this: http://korpro.org/numb/PICT1348.JPG

    I am in almost the exact same situation.
    MSI Neo-FIS2R
    AMD XP 2800+
    2 sticks of DDR400 Corsair XMS memory (CMX512-3200C2) 512mb each (total 1gig)
    Any combination of memory together does not allow the motherboard to boot. I get no beeping or warning sounds. Everything powers up but the display remains blank.
    Things I have tried in many different combinations:
    TRCD = 5, 4, 3, auto
    DDR Voltage = Auto, 2.7, 2.65
    DDR 200, DDR 300, DDR 333, Auto
    Memory in bank 1+2, 1+3, 2+3
    Along with those bios setting combinations, I have tried using several bios versions:
    v2.2
    v2.0
    v1.9
    v1.8
    v1.4 <--- (Stuck with this bios for the moment, since the ami flashing utility HANGS when attempting to erase the boot block in step 2 of flashing procedure for any newer bios.)
    As a consequence of several days of trying unsuccessfully to get both sticks of memory to work, I have given up hope on this motherboard.
    Why is it so difficult to get two sticks of memory working properly on this motherboard?
    Has anyone got another trick or technique or setting I can try that may work?
    Alternatives:
    Scrap the MSI motherboard -- never buy another piece of MSI crap again.
    Buy a single stick of 1gig memory.
    Buy a new motherboard from another manufacturer known to work properly -- at the very least not have these memory configuration issues.
    Worst motherboard experience I have ever had, unfortunately.

  • Msi k8t neo fis2r wont post plz help

    I recently updated my bios for the motherboard, and now I can't get the pc to post.  Before I had the pc going but it kept getting gpfs and crashing to the desktop from games..
    I was having problems with it not wanting to post before but I raised the voltage to my ram and fixed that, the problem is that when the bios got wiped from the upgrade it lowered the voltage on the ram..now i just cant get it to post at all..if anyone has any suggestions on how to get this powered up so i can change the voltage again please let me know
    I am only using one ram chip...

    i cant afford a new psu and i know this one is ok as my friend tested it in his identical system for 24 hours ..
    my mboard just seems to refuse to post ..i upgraded my bios and the voltage dropped because the update sets the defaults back to default..
    after i upgraded the bios, it posted once, i was in the bios and i saved some settings and restarted..i was going to go back and up the voltage on the ram again so that it would post (i had solved my problem similar to this earlier by upping the ram voltage to 2.75) but it was too late and after it shutdown it wouldnt turn back on
    also, ive tried all 3 ram slots with the chip, and ive cleared the cmos with the jumper 3 times..

    your complete specs may help .. if running two sticks of ram you could remove one stick ... you could also reset the bios using the clear CMOS jumper .. but without more detailed specs ppl will struggle to help you

  • Msi K8t Neo Fis2r-revision Differences

    Hi everyone,  Ive been trying to get rev 1.1 of the msi k8t neo fis2r  but with no luck. Can anyone tell me the difference between the 1.0 rev and the 1.1 rev.Is it just a bios difference or is there more to it than that.
    thankyou for any help,i find this forum most informative.

    Hi Apple Renegade,
      Thankyou for your prompt reply.I am fully aware of the 1.0 to 1.1 differences in bios. This tells me [obviously] that there ARE differences but does not tell me if it is tho  ONLY difference between the two version mobo's, that is why i came to this forum where there are people with far more experience and knowledge than myselfd.If the difference is only bios then i have no problems going with the 1.0 version and doinga bios upgrade but if there are more differences then i need to know what they are.     Regards.

  • Msi K8T Neo-FIS2R built in 1394 shows up but doesn't work?

    I have a msi K8T Neo-FIS2R, and the built in 1394 does not work.  It shows up in windows but doesnt work when plugged in.
    I have tried disabling and reenabling in the bios, and disabling almost all other things to eliminate an IRQ problem to no avail.
    I have an audigy 2 ZS also which has a firewire port, which is working, but I'd like to have access to the mainboard's ports as well.
    any suggestions?

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R - help please :(

    When i first got this board + my Athlon 64bit 3200+ I just left everything in bios at default, and counter-strike bullet registration was amazing, the FSB clock said 133, (no i did not imagine this as ive had two of these boards and they both said 133fsb when i went to bios).... one day my p.c wouldnt boot up, i did a series of tests and couldnt find what was wrong, i eventaully reset cmos and still it would not boot up properly. So i got a new harddrive and that seemed to solve the problem, only this time when i went to bios instead of the FSB saying 100-280, it said 190-280, now counter-strike bullet reg has totally gone and plays like , oh sure good frames per second but it doesnt feel instant, i want 133fsb back quite desperately, i was hoping one of you kind people could tell me if theres fsb jumpers on my board or how i can get 133fsb back, wont let me below 190 at the moment :(
    Thanks

    below are my specs,similar to yours.  the issue is in the audigy card .. remove it , try a different card ( live ) if some one can resolve this please let me know too..
     I have a problem ,when ever I boot my system hangs ( at sound card) ,if I power down and reboot a few seconds later its fine.if I leave it running its fine,only on a cold start. if I remove my audigy card this problem goes away, I can use other cards ,but not the audigy, did you ever have this issue ,or know any one who has had an irq issue like this( I think its in the irq) ...............

    I'm trying to flash my bios but i get this wrong message after restart: CMOS SETTINGS WRONG, if you have built sata raid array previously, go to "P20378 sata controller" set as raid. I've tried that but it dosn't help.......what should i do???

    i used to get that almost every time i update BIOS. I forgot the fix, but we need to know as Tiresmoke said whether u r at all using the promise. if Via serials r enough for u (which in this case they r since u only hv 2 sata hd's) then just use these and see what happens.
    did u also try to load bios defaults? i think i used to do this when i get that error msg
