MSI K9N neo - black screen

Hi everyone
I have a computer with a MSI K9N neo (v.1.0) motherboard. About a 1,5 years old. Until last week it was working fine, but after a hard disk crash (and replacement), i can't get it to boot properly. When i start it up, I can hear the fans and drive spinning, and i get a POST 'beep' (the usual short beep), but only a blank screen - monitor says No signal detected. I've replaced the graphics card with a brand new one, and it didn't help.
Can anyone help me?
Computer specs:
Motherboard: MSI K9N Neo
Graphics card: Gainward Bliss 7200GS PCX(new) - XFX GeForce 6200 TurboCache(old)
RAM: 2x Corsair Value S. PC5300 DDR2 512MB
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 1.8GHz Socket AM2
HD: Samsung Spin point

Check monitor input selection 1|2
Check monitor cable and DVI->VGA converter if you use. Make sure that is filled well.
Try with different monitor
Thanks for the reply!
I've tried two monitors, two graphics cards and two PSU's - same result.
If I remove the graphics card and RAM and power up the computer, it does not beep at all, but when one of the memory modules (and/or the graphics card) are installed it beeps twice rapidly.. but the screen is blank no matter what I do..

MSI K9N Neo V1

I have got MSI K9N NEO V1 motherboard AM2. I use AMD Sempron AM2 3000+ CPU. I would like to upgrage 2X2Gb Memory 800Mhz.
Bios update 1.9 version.
If I upgrade 2X2Gb DDR2 800Mhz memory the screen is black, bios auto settings.
If I upgrade 2X2Gb DDR2 800Mhz memory and bios settings memory frekvency is 2X200Mhz=400Mhz or 2X266Mhz=532Mhz, Bios know 4Gb memory but OS doesnt boot.
What's the problem?
Can you help me?! Please help me! Thank you very much!

i didn't notice that they are different brands..

if I use slot 1 is Kingston and slot 2 is Kingmax: is OK , But I use slot 1 Kingmax and slot 2 Kingston : black screen.
I dont know thats why?
you should use matched memory sticks only [as Bernhard already told you]
if you a different one there is no any grantees that they works together
the only think you can try is to place the slowest memory stick in the 1st DIMM and other at other DIMM

MSI K9N NEO-F V3 Cannot install Windows 7

I am trying to install Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on my wife's desktop computer.
The system is:
MSI K9N NEO-F V3 Motherboard with BIOS American Megatrends Inc. V2.4
AMD 64 X2 3.00 Gigahertz
2 Gigs of RAM
Windows XP Pro 32 bit
500 gigs SATA HDD
120 gig and 40 gig IDE HDDs
As it has to be a clean install, I start the computer with the Windows 7 in the DVD drive. I get loading files, Starting Widows and then the background picture (picture with vapour trails, a dove and some grass) for the "Select Language etc." screen. Then nothing, no matter how long I leave it.
Got onto Microsoft and spent 1.5 hours trying to get it to work. We even went into the BIOS, made sure the DVD drive was the first boot device. When I clicked F10 to save and exit I did not get the "Press any key to boot from the CD/DVD", it went back to the beginning of booting.
The disk is OK, it is a Microsoft disk and worked fine when I tested it in my PC.
Can anyone help, please?

Disconnect the two PATA hard drives.
Make sure the hard drive you're installing Windows on is formatted before running the setup.

MSI K9N Neo (AM2) memory troubles

Hi guys, I just got a new system which is having some issues, and I'd appreciate any suggestions on what could be wrong.
At first, the system simply crashed during OS boot. A quick test with memtest86 showed 50-60 thousand errors on a single run, so I asked at Corsairs site, got the recommendation to up the voltage to 2.1V. The memory got a whole lot more stable, but still showed a few dozen errors per run.
So, I proceeded to test the modules one by one, and found them operating well as long as only a single module was inserted (no errors on a 12+ hours run). I moved them around, tried different dimm slots, but as soon as both modules were in, there were errors ranging from a few to several dozen per memtest pass.
The system specs are:
MSI K9N Neo (nforce 550 based)
AMD Athlon64 3500+
Corsair Value Select 2048MB PC5300 kit (2 1GB dimms, 667 MHz)
Geforce 6600 video card.
BIOS settings are defaults (memory timing set from SPD) with memory voltage increased to 2.1 volt as per Corsairs suggestion.
Any suggestions? Is the MB shot, should I get it exchanged, or could there be some other problem?

Hi Raider,
I would not run in dual channel mode until you get at least one stick to run w/o errors in Memtest86. I had a similar problem with different memory but the same MSI K9N MoBo. Sometimes it passed and sometimes it did not. My two problems were (1) power supply, only 350W, so I jumped up to a 500W, and (2) memory timings. The MSI site said the MoBo has trouble with SPD timings. So try moving the mem speed down a whole bunch, like 166Mhz or 133Mhz clocking first. If it passes all mem tests, then move the clock back up and try to look up the memory timings for your memory and type them in manually in your BIOS. For me, I went from 2.5-3-3-8 2T to 3.0 5-5-8 2T and it ran forever. From Windows I used CPU-z to see the memory SPD and timings and set it to the lower settings from CPU-z to make it work the first time. This week I am taking back the memory to the store because it won't run at spec.
Good Luck

MSI K9N Neo-F

A new mb MSI K9N Neo-F, AM2, AMD64, nForce 550, wont boot any more, after 1 month of work without problem. It closed it with Vista, rather slowly, and couldnt restart any more. Bios error code is 42 on a tester in LPT, bios gives no sound nor image, I can start PC (I mean fans and keyboard/CD lights) but not to stop, it is blocked somewhere while loading bios and CPU, before loading memory. Without CPU error code is FF. Any suggestion? I have checked CPU and memory, no effect.
thank you in advance.

MSI K9N Neo - MS7260

Well, I modified a BIOS again, for the MSI K9N Neo (PCB 1.0), MS-7260. The added features are:
- Damn Nice Bootscreen (the old one suck)
- Processor Frequency Multiplier
- Processor Voltage
I don't know if this will help some people with overclocking, but, here they are.
*USE AT OWN RISK*
http://rapidshare.com/files/228438450/MSI_K9N_Neo__PCB_1.0_.zip.html

hmm, unfortunately I can't seem to find that BIOS on my PC... I must have deleted it or something, but I did find a Beta BIOS in MSI's ftp site, which has EXACTLY the same changes. You can change the CPU Voltage & Change the Multiplier. You can download the BIOS here: http://www.mediafire.com/?o4t5mhomyzi
If you are interested in changing the bootscreen or modify some options, you can download AMI modding tools (MMTOOL v3.22 & AMIBCP v3.37) here: http://www.mediafire.com/?mnqwj2mmww2
I hope this helps. BTW, you should notice that this BIOS is for MS-7260 (MSI K9N Neo, PCB 1.0) only. It has nVIDIA chisets, so the CPU voltage will not be of much help, since nVIDIA uses completely different designs from that of Intel & AMD - nVIDIA's chipsets cannot overclock well, but they do have better latencies. Unfortunately real life performance depends on the actual clock rating & not the latency. You can try this BIOS, but I can't promise that it'll provide better overclocking. If you find that you can only overclock by 5%, then it's definitly better to leave the CPU on stock speed, setting the PLL's frequency higher than nVIDIA's chipset's locked frequency will make it unstable. Test the stability with IntelBurnTest (for AMD & Intel CPU's): http://downloads.guru3d.com/IntelBurnTest-v1.6-download-2047.html

MSI K9N NEO (PCB 2.0) Help

MSI K9N NEO (PCB 2.0)
Problem with front audio connectors, In my atx i have this cords listed below..
MIC-IN
MIC-BIAS
SPKOUT R
RETURN R
SPKOUT L
RETURN L
GND
In the manual describing the JAUD1 Front Audio Connector it lists:
1. AUD_MIC
2. AUD_GND
3. AUD_MIC_BIAS
4. AUD_VCC
5. AUD_FPOUT_R
6. AUD_RET_R
7. HP_ON
8. KEY
9. AUD_FPOUT_L
10. AUD_RET_L
Guide me pls where should i put this cords because i only got 7 cords.
TNX IN ADVANCE

Your case connectors are not complient with the HD Audio connectivity standard. In order to make this work, you'll need to disable the Automatic Front Panel Jack Detection Function in the Realtek HD Audio Manager.
Connecting your case's ports should be rather either:
First of all:
GND ---> 2. AUD_GND
Then the microphone:
MIC-IN
MIC-BIAS
There are only two possible ways to connect these plugs to:
1. AUD_MIC
3. AUD_MIC_BIAS
Try both ways. One of them is going to work. [Remember: In order to make this work, you'll need to disable the Automatic Front Panel Jack Detection Function in the Realtek HD Audio Manager.]
And then the other thing:
SPKOUT R ---> 5. AUD_FPOUT_R
RETURN R ---> 6. AUD_RET_R
Same thing for the left channel. Just this time use:
9. AUD_FPOUT_L
10. AUD_RET_L

MSI K9N NEO - Whats the best geforce ?? MY 6200 LE WONT WORK !

Hi all.
When i turn on the PC with the Geforce 6200 LE in the PCIE slot... the graphics are seriously messed up. red lines and blue bands down the screen and strange characters everywhere.
Only way I could install windows onto the new blank HD was to put in an old PCI graphicswe card and like magic... its normal. Now i used the old card to get me onto the internet and got every new driver for the geforce 6200 LE I could find, but no matter which driver I apply the pc just wont boot with the 6200LE in.
My system spec is
K9N Neo MS-7260
AMD Althlon 64 3200+ AM2
1gb GSkill DDRII 800 RAM
"3DFusion" Geforce 6200LE
Could it be the fact that 3DFusion cards are not compatible with the K9N Neo or nforce 550 and if so... presumably I need either an NVIDIA geforce or an MSI geforce rather than my 3dfusion card ???
So to sum up guys... shall I sell the 3dfusion geforce 6200LE and buy an MSI Geforce.... and if so... which card will DEFINITELY work with the nForce 550 / K9N Neo ???
It seems 3dfusion cards arent compatible with nforce550 or k9n.

do you have the VGA in the BIOS set to PCIE? I just set up my new comp with a 550 chipset and an ATI card and I'm pretty sure I changed the VGA setting in the BIOS

MSI Notebook GX640, black screen with games

I own for two years MSI Notebook G series GX640 (Intel Core i5-460M, Ati Mobility RadeonHD 5850, 4GB RAM, 500 GB HDD). Recently I had to send it to the manufacturer because of a audiocard malfunction. It was the last call to do it on the warranty. It ended around a week ago (2 years warranty). The service guy filled an information for me (standard procedure). It stated: repair the audioboard and new ventilation installed. It seems they run some tests and updated the BIOS. After that I had some time (around 2 weeks) of cool work on the machine. Until recently... Here is a description of the problem.
During more demanding programs (games mostly) the PC runes smoothly for some minutes (10, 15, 20 or so) and without warning goes black screen. Sometimes you can still hear the sound from the game other times no. Also if I unplug the power cable and plug it back it sometimes goes to a very uneasy state with stripes on the monitor.
I tried to fix this by updating the CCC from ATI, also updated the video card drivers, today flashed the BIOS using the MSIHQ USB Bootable Tool and BIOS Helper. I used the 1656_031 archive from MSI. Searched the forum and the web for info and help... but no luck. So I post here with hope for help.
I suspect this is not an issue of hardware. If I turn off the PC and start it again works fine, I was also able to upload 2GB of video files to YouTube with no problems at all. As long as I run OS (Windows 7 64bit) or programs like text editors, browsers, video editors, audio editors, internet radio etc. It runes fine. But when I start games it just a no go. To give an example: Mass Effect 3, StarCraft II, Saint's Raw The Third, Borderlands.
My BIOS information; don't know if it will help:
BIOS version: E1656IMS.10E
BIOS build: 08/30/2010 15:58:14
EC version: 1656 EMS1 ver.4.08
EC build: 06/03/2010

Quote from: Fuzz Ball on 19-February-13, 10:53:50
I could assume (since you've started doing stuff to the bios) that you've done this already, but to make sure, have you checked the usage/temperature of your graphics card?
Actually I didn't do that... till now. For last 4 hours I have been running some games and programs to determine the usage and temperature on the graphics card. Here are the results:
Temperature in house was 24ᵒC.
While normal Windows 7 running temp. is around 50ᵒ to 54ᵒC
Watching video in 720p from hard drive temp. -> 55ᵒ to 56ᵒC
Games:
Book of Unwritten Tales (one game that is not going black screen on me), point and click adventure game -> 57ᵒC to 63ᵒC
Starcraft II -> 73ᵒC and black screen (5 to 7 minutes of play)
Mass Effect 3 -> 67ᵒC to 72ᵒC goes black screen
Borderlands -> 72ᵒC to 75ᵒC goes black screen
The Catalyst Control Center (CCC) from Ati I use is 13.1 the GPU is 625 MHz and the Memory of the GPU is 1000MHz. Fan goes around 30%.
Looks normal to me, no 90ᵒC.
Right after I end writing this post and publish it I will try to open the Notebook to at least try find any suspicious things inside. I will probably clean it, but there will be no real hardware intervention. I'm not that good with IT or electronics to try it by myself. So if any just cleaning from dust and a look inside.
P.S. There is one more test I might try tomorrow, run a game on a TV through HDMI to see if the problem will occur if it will that means it's not the display.
UPDATE:
Seems playing games in window mode might eliminate the problem. All above test's were done if full screen.

MSI 990FXA-GD80 black screen

Hello there
Specs:
What I had:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H
XFX Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB CL9
Western Digital Caviar® Black 1TB
2x Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS 1TB
OCZ SSD Vertex 4 Series 2.5" 128GB
My computer suddenly crashed with a BSOD while surfing the web. When it restarted I got past the usual Gigabyte screen - followed by a black screen telling me "Beginning to update backup BIOS ---- Updating " then it restarted again, going into a loop with the same thing happening again and again.
So I figured that the motherboard had crashed, so I bought:
MSI 990FXA-GD80
Thinking that would solve the problem.
I rebuild my computer today with the new motherboard, plugged everything and was ready to go-
The first message I got was telling me that my cpu or my ram was changed, and gave me the option to either 1- enter BIOS or 2- boot with default values.
I entered BIOS, checked that everything was OK, saved and rebooted... Got past the MSI-screen - followed by a black screen telling me "NTLDR is missing, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart", which I did.
My comp then rebooted, but this time both my screens stayed black :O
I have now tried to restart my computer several times, but my screens stay black.
My monitors are plugged in with DVI and HDMI.
Solutions I have tried:
Removing the motherboard battery. and starting without it.
changing to my old graphic card, ATI Radeon 5830.
Removing the power for 15 mins.
Unplugging all the hard drives, except the SSD. (which my OS is installed at).
I have now also ordered AMD FX-8150 8-Core Processor.

"NTLDR is missing, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE to restart",
Did you use the ame HDD for boot without re-installing the OSD ?
This could be a case of having an AHCI mode OS HDD and your current board is still set to IDE ?
That X4 955 only supports 1066 or 1333 memory.
Borrow the other PSU. Insert only one RAM module.
Do a full CMOS clear.
Retest and do a fresh OS installation and all curent drivers.

MSI R9 270X - Black Screen after Win7 logo

Hello there.
About a week ago I upgraded my PC, buying several components and putting it to work. Here's the specs.
Main Board: M5A97 EVO R2.0
Bios Version: Latest
Video Card: MSI Radeon R9 270X TwinFrozr OC Edition 2Gb
PSU: Don't know
12v rail Rating of listed PSU:
CPU: AMD FX 8350 4.0Ggz BE SkAM3+
Memory: 8Gb Crucial Ballistix DDR3-1600Mhz
SSD/ HDD: Western Digital WD10EZRX-00A8LB0 1TB
CPU COOLER: The one that came with the CPU
Raid Card: Onboard
Sound Card: Onboard
OC: (Yes / No) Don't know
Operating System: Win 7 SP 1 64
So, it worked just fine for about 3 days. Last Saturday night I tried to open Google Chrome after some gaming and the the system froze. I got a screen with vertical black and white stripes. I had to reboot the system and it gave me a black screen, crashing again, after the Win Logo at start up. At this time I was running either 14.7 or 14.9 ATI drivers.
I could only start the PC on Safe Mode. Removing the drivers and getting Windows general VGA card settings would allow me to use Windows in normal mode though. Once I installed the Graphic Card's drivers it crashed on reboot, always with the black screen after Win logo. I installed several ATI drivers, namelly 14.9, 14.11 beta, 13.12... and nothing worked.
I flashed the Mother Board BIOS to the latest version, formatted the HDD doing a fresh install of Win 7, installed Catalyst first and then the drivers, the drivers without catalyst, etc. and nothing worked, always getting a black sreen on reboot once the Graphic Card's drivers were installed. I even swapped the Graphic Card to a different slot to no avail.
Right now I'm using my old Radeon HD 5670 with the latest drivers and everything works just fine. It even works fine if I keep both Graphic Cards installed with the monitor plugged to the older card. I find this odd since to do so, Windows loads both cards drivers with no errors. But once I switch to the new card everything goes black.
Can someone help me out? I've tried to contact my vendor's technical support through mail but they're not answering. I fear that I'll have to report it as DOA and swap it out, which will take quite some time taking into consideration the way things tend to work around here.
EDIT - I don't have a 2nd system to test it on.

Nope. Not driver issue at all. I tested at least 3 different drivers, all with the same result. Besides, I used both Driver Fusion and Driver Cleaner and CClean to remove any non-deleted registry entries. Always got the same problem. Went as far as formating the drive and doing a clean Win install. The problem persisted.
Tried installing drivers without Catalyst to no avail. Tried installing Cataltst first and then the drivers. Nothing. It always crashed omce the drivers were installed.

MSI FROZR III Black screen sound buzzing

HI all,
Tonight whilst I was playing Red faction Armageddon the screen went black and the sound was buzzing the only way that I could do anything was to reboot my computer by pressing the reset button. Any ideas what could cause this?
The card is only 4 days old?

System specs are as follows;
I7 2600k at stock
MSI frozr III Stock
Cosair vengeance 1866 DDR 3
Asus maximus iv extreme z
1x cosair ssd
Coolermaster GX 750 power supply
I don't know what I'm looking for with regard to the power supply but I have the manufacturers page here with the model;
http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=6643
On windows before this happened when I opened chrome there was some red graphical glitches on the window, it was not flashing just not displaying properly but only on the chrome window so I rebooted and then switched on red faction and the after about 15 minutes had the black screen and buzzing sound and windows event viewer said it was a kernel power error.
