MSI K8T Neo + OCZ PSU (help)

Hi there, having a few problems with my computer unfortunatly with it being christmas eve :@ anyway I just purchased an OCZ 520w PSU I go to install it, and it keeps crashing everytime windows boots or as soon as I start doing anything in windows. It does actually get onto the desktop can click the Start button etc.... I noticed my old PSU had another little connector that plugs in down the bottom of the motherboard which this one does not its a 3 pin connector. now if I plug my old PSU in without that connector it crashes so im not sure how to get it working I fool heartdly put the other spare floppy disc connector on it... which I shouldnt have lol after it went pop and I could smell burning would this of blown something? the connector on the mobo or on the PSU? as its working with my old psu. the most important thing is getting it working with my new psu, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is this so important for you?
If I were you, I would care more about the Mobo, CPU, Memory and other devices and If I were you, I would throw this PSU out of the window asap.
Had one of the OCZ Powerstreams and it killed my Mobo, my Memory and my HD. Is this worth enough risking the same???
Glad enough it didn´t kill my FX 53 and my videocard. If you have to much money, give it to me. I would spend it for better things than waiting till yours will catch fire.

    ive been searching and searching and cant find where to change the multiplier.... i was hoping maybe you guys now where it is or a way to change it i have a athlon 64 3200+ but i want to lower the multi to 9, any ideas

    Sorry, I did not read your MB ID correctly.  According to MSI website, the K8T Nero series does not have the Cell menu.  There may be some 3rd party software that will allow you to change your settings but I am not familiar with any.

  • 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.

    ANy help guys ?
    thanks

  • 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...
    my specs are
    athlon 64 3000+
    512mb mushkin special
    sapphire radeon 9800 pro
    msi k8t neo fis2r mboard
    antec 430 watt 12v - 20a
    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 - 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) ...............

  • [Athlon64] MSI K8T NEO-V : incompatibility with ATI RADEON 9800 PRO

    Hi,
    I read all the subjets on this forum about Radeon problems with MSI K8T NEO motherboard.  Most of the peple can't use their graphic card in all situations.
    My PC is :
    -MSI K8T NEO-V
    -AMD-64 3200
    -Power : 400W
    -ATI RADEON 9800 PRO
    -1 Go DDRAM (2x512 in single channel)
    -Hercules Digifires 7.1
    I bought a new MSI K8T NEO-V with AMD 64.
    The problem is that I can't use the computer in the games with AGP 8X even if I try to enable-disable all the options possibles in BIOS and Windows (fast write ...) : The computer freeze (screen disapear as if there was no video signal), reboot or return to Windows disabling the accelerated mode.
    But in AGP 4X, all the game run without problem with all setups of BIOS !!!
    I tried all the drivers (the new and the old drivers).  Even if all are updated, it freeze.
    There are no BIOS update for my motherboard. I saw that some people had BIOS update for compatibility with some Radeon cards ...
    So, I don't know how to repair the problem because AGP 8X is AGP 8X and not 4X, and my Radeon run fine on other computer, and nothing say that Radeon 9800 pro don't run on this motherboard.
    Does someone have the solution to make it work ? Does a new BIOS or driver update exist somewhere for Radeon cards ?

    What Bas said about 30+ amps on the 12v rail does have merit. Even if you don't use it now there may come a time when you want to upgrade the system and certainly you won't want to buy yet another PSU then. A High end vid card now takes almost as much as the CPU to operate. Now days the 12v rail is the most important. Past systems regulated everything off the 5v railk and 12v was used mostly for powering drive motors. Now though the MB's use the 12v line to regulate all the voltages for the CPU, Chipset and other features as does the Vid cards. 3.3 volt lines are used for memory so we hardly use any 5v nowdays.
    You have an older viod card and that does not eat much 12v but if you upgrade the most likely peice will be the vid card. You could go through this whole thing all over again if you are not careful to plan for that now with a new PSU purchase.
    If the computer shop gives you a bunch of bull about power needs havbe them stop by the forum and we can help set them straight on this. There is more than enough data from MSI and historical data here that suggests that 16a on the 12v rail is certainly not enough. Hey I am not trying to sell you anything. I am just trying to help you get it right. The computer shop is the one trying to sell you something we just feel they are selling the wrong junk.

  • 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...

  • MSI K8T NEO motherboard installtion diagram/instructions?

    I am just putting my system togther
    MSI K8T NEO FIS2R
    Athlon64 3200+
    2 X 512 MB OCZ EL pc 3200 memory + other stuff:
    ANTEC TruePOwer 480 PS
    LianLi 6089 case
    I have never attached a mother board to a case before. There are no installtion diagrams that comes with the motherboard (or the case for that matter).  Is the motherboard supposed to be screwed directly onto the case?
    There is also a small bag with 2 items : one looks like a blasck plastic riser, about 1 inch high.It has the word LOTES embossed into it.  The other is a faceplate with
    2  1" x 1/2inch rectangular cutouts on the silvered side, and a square cutout, with a silver stripe down the midlle on the otherside which looks like aa beige plastic.
    Are there any web accesible diagrams to show how this should be attached to the case?
    Does anyone know what the black plastiic and metal plastic things with the cutouts are supposed to do?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    This is a very expensive piece of gear for a first try, be very careful not to touch the board without first grounding yourself on the case, you really need a strap from your wrist fixed to case to clear static. There should be a packet of screws with the case, the brass posts screw onto back of case and the board fits onto them. Most cases are marked with the correct holes marked for type of board. the metal plate is for the back of case, you will have to remove the existing plate and replace it with this one to match with the outlets on board, The black plastic/metal riser sounds like the interference suppressor ring that goes over the wires going to front panel.  The setting up of this board, fitting the CPU and Cooler, etc, should be left to someone who knows the way to fit it. Your local Computer shop may know someone to show you how it goes, or if you give an area where you are, some kind person on this list might help.

  • MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R won't power-up

    My MSI K8T Neo-FIS2R won't power up when I switch it on. All that happens is the fans "jolt" a few millimeters and that's it  
    Using an X-Pro 460w which does work as I have tested it on this PC  
    Any help would be greatly appreciated  

    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] !URGENT PLEASE! MSI K8T Neo-V + Sempron 2600+ !URGENT PLEASE!

    I just bought a MSI K8T Neo-V, a Sempron 2600+ proc, 512 MR DDR 400 and an ATI Radeon 9250. So i'm trying to put all these things together using an old 250W PSU but my computer is not booting at all. Everytime i switch it on it stays on for about 5 seconds and switches off again. Could anybody help me with the matter???
    Thanks very much inded.
    pedro. 

    That link does not really say much. What brand is it? I would stay to known good PSU's like Antec, Enermax, Tagan or something like that. I noticed they carry Q-Tec. Do not use those as they are proven to fail.
    I wish I could say that is the only problem you have. However we can't tell that until you have appropriate power. These newer rigs all take more power than older computers and while the older stuff ran mostly off 3.3 and 5 volts these newer rigs run almost entirely from the 12v rail. This is why the ATX 12v standard came out for PSU's. This allows the PSU's to meet the needs of these newer rigs. Look at it this way. If you have a big SUV would you try to start it with flashlight batteries?

  • MSI K8T Neo - Video switch off, sound glitches

    Hi
    First post, and im hoping someone can PLEASE help me.
    Im currently using the following:
    MSI K8T Neo FISR-2 Mobo (pretty sure thats it)
    64 AMD 3200+
    512 DDR @ 333
    2 IDE HDs
    GEXCUBE 9600XT etc etc
    Now problem 1) I use my computer for work alot, i.e I use Microsoft word, and im typing away getting alot of work done when all of a sudden, blank screen, it acts like i havent touched anything and just powered down the monitor, but no matter what i do i cant get it back up and thus i have to reboot. (This occurs after around 15 odd minutes of work on word)
    -Ive tried everything i can think of, updated whatever, even taken to computer places and they have no idea, rebooted CMOS, havent update BIOS cause im scared but if you got any ideas let me know
    Problem 2) not as bad as the first but my sound, using onboard AC97 and Logitech Z640s i have this weird static shitty background scrathcy noise which is annoying, and i cant get it cleared up.
    -Tried updating drivers etc, sounds not maxed out, even get the sound when i switch off the speakers and plug in my headphonse so...
    If you can help on either of these things please either reply here or email me on [email protected]
    THANKYOU!!!

    For ATI related monitor signal loss issues, check here:
    Rage3D forum direct link
    I personally have a AIW9600Pro and haven't experience the aforementioned problems, so I don't know what to add, but I'm sure these folks at Rage3D forums can help.  It's already upto 15 pages, so there must be some useful info in there...
    For statics, I find that by turning off Mic Gain (or sometimes called Mic Boost) from your Windows Volume control sometimes does the trick.  If you use extension cables, you might want to check for interference, too.
    Hope this helps,

  • 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.
