MSI NEO2 FISRH 865 BIG PROBLEMS

I have the following problem. My computer gets jammed after a time (arbitrary moment). With get jammed I mean that the screen freezes and you can nothing more than a reset. Mostly it happens in Internet Explore.
My computer:
Pentium 4 2.6 GHz 800 FSB
2 x 512 MB DDR400 Ram Twinmos CL3,3,3 in dual
MB : MSI NEO2-LS FISR2H ( chipset 865 PE) BIOS versie 1.1
grafic: Aopen geforce 4 MX 440-se
HD: IBM 80 GB
wireless mouse and keyboard logitech
Software
Windows XP pro service pack 1 (all update's)
Drivers van Nvidia installed
Virusscanner Norton Antivirus ( up to date)
DirectX 9
I have tried.
* turning off Hyper threating
*More fans : 3*80 mm fans and 2 x 120 mm fans (placed according to rules
intake/outtake)
*replacing RAM and tested with MEMtest86 (no error's)
*replacing keyboard and mouse with wired keyboard and mouse
*replacing graficcard with a other brand (same model) and a other brand (differend model)
*changing hard disk
*reinstalling windows
*replacing IDE wires
*keeping a eye on the temperature (is normal )
*keeping a eye on the voltage ( normal)
*replacing power supple with a heavere one
But nothing helps. Does some one knows what the problem can be or do i send it back and ask for a RMA. And buy a motherboard that does work.. : ?( :O

foxie,
My first 865PE Neo2 FIS2r board had BIG problems with on-board LAN, didnt work at all most of the time. No systemcrashes but you could not connect to Internet or LAN.
But since a PCI networkcard work OK, it wasn´t difficult to RMA it to my lockal computershop. They got the same result. I got a new board that work perfect.

bejon2000,
Good point bejon,
I re-read the article and this what it says: " ....If you remember, older Athlon 64 processors based on 130nm cores didn’t support 4 double-sided DDR400 SDRAM modules working at 400MHz frequency at all and reduced their frequency to 333MHz automatically. The today’s processors based on 90nm cores offer us a few better solutions. The D core revision also known as Winchester allows using four double-sided DDR400 memory DIMMs if the Command Rate timing is set to 2T."
From what you posted the Winnie D core CPU may need a little TLC and voltage boost. but it should run 4 X double sided 512 sticks at DDR 400 and 2T. Venice or later core may not need such TLC or voltage boost but still need manual selections in BIOS Cell menu.
Thanks for pointing this out,

MSI Z68-GD80 (G3) Big Problems

So I have gotten my MSI Z68-GD80 (G3) Motherboard 1050 Watt powersupply from corsair 16GB of ram Corsair Vengence GTX 580 Twin Frozr II 2600K and a H80. At Stock Speeds My computer just frezzes in till i reset my computer or it automatically restarts and i have been losing Work Info because of this problem. In Prime 95 i ran it for a hour no Errors or anything. When i Enable OC genie Prime 95 Crashed in 30 minutes my computer freezes loud noise comes out of my headphones. Then i try pressing reset button no respond so i had to turn of my powersupply. btw my highest temp on the core was 55C. This usally happenes when i play games like: MW2,WAW,Crossfire,CSS,TF2,and so On. Btw im on the latest UEFI and drivers i believe since i used the LiveUpdate.
If i have to RMA this Board can I drop it off at MSI Viking Road Richmond I Live Near there.

Have you tried it without OC Genie ? What are the results ? Which BIOS are you using ?
Only insert one memory module. Do a CMOS clear >>Clear CMOS Guide<< Remove the battery for a while.
Ensure that EuP2013, Spread Spectrum and XMP are disabled.
Retest with only one memory module.

MSI NEO2 and Asus v9999GT problems

Hi,
well my problem is when the Asus v9999GT is installed i boot windows up but it just keeps restarting or blue screening(i see the desktop then it restarts*if i dont get a blue screen that is) It usely takes 4-5 restarts before windows finally starts. Ive reinstalled the comp 4 times trying to fix the problem but had no luck finally i reinstalled the comp with my 9000 Pro II and no more restarting no more blue screening windows starts normally. But thats not a fix i bought the new card and im not going to let $530 go down the drain. It seems to me its the NEO 2 that does not like the Asus, i try the asus in my old comp and everything works fine.
Is there a fix coming up, i know others who have the same problem
btw its not the ram i did a memtest and no errors

I don't think it's PSU related caused by the gfx card if
it is the asus 9999GT/TD . As this is a 6800 board with GT core clock
and 128M DDR1 memory.
And in 2D windows it should use estimatly 20W .
:Xbitlabs
The NVIDIA GeForce 6800 eats less energy than the GeForce GT as it has lower frequencies and the GPU voltage . As a result, without overclocking, the card consumes 16.96W(10w on +12v) in the Idle mode(2D) and 38.88W in the Burn mode(3D).
Real GT:
23w in idle mode and 53w in burn mode(3D) .
So it consumes something between those two i guess.
If you suffer from restarts in only in windows (2D) your gfx card don't use
any more power than your R9000 in 3D does (which worked running games i guess).
But if you didn't run/test the 9000 in any burn mode or 3dmark , it might
be PSU tipping over afterall.
Could be some drivers/sw causing it.
Try to edit your boot.ini file and turn off DEP
Edit noexecute switch it to be like this:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=alwaysoff /fastdetect

MEGA 865 Big Display problem

Hi,
i get my new MEGA 865 last Week, but i have a big Problem with it, every time i unplug and plug the Power Cable, the Display on the front is off.
The only way to bring the Display back to live is to unplug and plug the Display Cable inside the Barebone from the mainboard. This cant be right, does everyone have the same Problem ??????
Please write, if you have the same problem or not.
Thanks
Cooler

The information came from MSI Tech support.
I also cannot believe that they sell a Multimedia PC with the MSI Media Suite package that just doesn't work. Any updates? No. Nothing. The MSI Media Suite is meant to be one of the reasons for it costing more than the other MEGA's.
Generally as a rule, I hardly ever install anything from the manufacturers CD supplied with a system. Half the time they are just rubbish apps/utils that I hardly use. I don't really care what speed my Processor/FSB is running at - it's running and it is not below its spec, that's fine by me. My first stop is always the web site for the most current drivers and utils that are necessary.
Obviously PC Alert4 is proving the exception here. It seems to me (I have no confirmation) that PC Alert as supplied on the CD, has API's / DLL's added to take care of the LCD display, and these have not been checked/thought of in a subsequent "standard" version.
I am also interested in seeing how I could control / program the LCD display. I seem to remember someone saying that WinXP Media Center can also change the LCD Display, this hints at either a special driver or an API in XP to get to its settings. I'll try dig a little deeper when I have a spare moment unless anyone already knows the answer.

MSI P35 Neo2-FR S3/USB Problems & Remote Desktop Video Problem

I recently received a new board back from RMA (my old one wouldn't post at all) and decided to re-install Windows XP back on it after verifying that it was working, and now I'm having a few issues with the board that were fine and working with the old board.
Firstly, I used to wake the system up from sleep using my USB keyboard when hitting "enter". Now it won't wake up with usb, and occasionally when waking it up with the power button, either my mouse or keyboard will not respond (both are USB). I then need to put the system back to sleep using the power button (I have xp set to sleep when pushed) and wake it up again to get the USB devices working. I have re-installed Windows XP, changed the ACPI BIOS settings to wake up using all devices, enabled/disabled legacy USB, downgraded the BIOS to 1.8 which I was running on my old board, and tried every USB slot on the board, all while running the exact same hardware that was on my previous board. Any help?
Secondly, I have the board/windows set to wake from S3 when attempting to reach it remotely. I can login fine, but when I get home to check the system, the screen is black. It's still running, and I can reach it again through RDC, but I can't seem to wake it up locally. The only way to correct the screen is by hitting the power button to put it to sleep, and then hitting it again to get it out of S3. This seems like a videocard issue, and I have tried using older versions of the nvidia driver but I always seem to have the same problem. Oddly, when I run tests at home using my laptop everything is fine and the video is displayed after logging off, but it seems to only be happening when I'm using it from my work computer. I would need to run some more tests to verify this though, and I assume that after some time using my laptop it would do the same thing. (the tests were run going outside of the lan and coming back in, from an S3 state). Video card drivers I tried were, 178.24 (oct. 15th), 178.13 (sep. 25th), 175.16 (may 13th).
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the reply kourosh. I have used both the 1.9 (latest) and downgraded to the 1.8 BIOS that I was using on the board pre-RMA as stated in my initial post. It just doesn't make sense that I had everything working properly with the old board, and with the new board that I received back from MSI, things just don't work. I'm using the exact same hardware and have done multiple re-installs with different drivers etc.
I doubt that part two is a networking problem as I stated in my initial post that I'm testing by going outside of the LAN and coming back in from outside. I think it has more to do with waking it up remotely multiple times (eg. wake up remotely-->sleep-->wake up again-->sleep again-->possible black screen error), but I haven't had the time to do all of the testing.
I just find it strange that these things are not working as they were, and I'm beginning to blame the board again as I know how they SHOULD be working on the same exact board.
Anyway... thanks again for the reply.

MSI NEO2 Platinum, problem with mouse Genius PS2 optical

Hello,
I have a MSI NEO2 Platinum motherboard with a mouse Genius optical PS2. When the S.O. init the mouse is not detected, I unplug and plug again the PS2 port and the mouse work perfectly ! ... The mouse is working perfectly, I test it in another PC, the problem is the motherboard !
The same situation is on Windows XP Professional and Linux Ubuntu 5.10.
Please help me, thanks for your attention !
Raúl.

Raúl,
The PS2 slot is NOT a hot plug! If you remove and reinstall it while there is power to the mobo you stand a very good chance of destroying the PS2 Slot.
Take Care,
Richard

MSI NEO2 P35 FIR on E8400 C0 problem

Good afternoon.
Why on my mainboard msi neo2 P35 fir (v1.0),after I have updated bios 1.7 (1.9,1.10)I cannot raise up voltages of processor???
i can atjust only from 1.5volt to 1.9volt??? but i want do a little overlock of my e8400 C0 and raise up voltages to 1.2v or 1.3v...
all people who have e8400 have same problem...but who have quad core all is good, they can atjust from 1.2volt to 2.0volt
so pls fix up 1.10 vesrion of bios or what

"Clear CMOS with main A/C power cable removed from PSU. After that load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS."
1. after that INTEL EIST is Enabled and now default cpu voltages 1.22v ,and i can set from 1.24 to 2.0125v..and there is no AUTO mode...(auto mode only in memory voltage and VTT voltage)
2. and after intel eist is enabled i can set cpu clock ratio this option is disabled.....
3. and i still cannot set cpu voltage to 1.14 1.15 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.19 1.20
4 when intel eist is disabled default cpu voltages is 1.500v but all utilities like CPUZ show 1.135 cpu voltages its ok , but when EIST is enabled default voltages are 1.22v and all utilities show that tempreture is 1.200v...its not ok...
or if i dont want to overclock my cpu i must set eist disabled ? and if i want to overclock cpu i must set eist enabled...and after that set cpu voltages to 1.2v or more...yes or no? ;/ and why if eist enabled clock ratio option is disabled? only way its manually set fsb clock,or its should be like that?

MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum - Freezing Issue during games

First off greetings to everyone on these forums...
I purchased the MSI Neo2 K8N Platinum motherboard from NewEgg back at the end of March to compliment the AMD 64 "Winchester" processor that I also purchased at that time to replace a slightly older AMD XP "Barton" system that was using the Abit NF7-S motherboard. For the past month I have been fighting an unusual and highly irritating issue that I have noticed during game play and have tried everything that I know of and more in an attempt to remedy this issue, but to no avail. This is the general background of the situation and now I will descibe in greater detail as to what this issue I am referring to is and the symptoms of this issue and some of the various methods used to remedy this issue.
The issue is that while play a game the system experiences a short 5-10 second freeze during the game randomly, but usually several times an hour. During this freezing the sound would loop and as suddenly as the freeze occurs it would cease and the game would continue on as if nothing happened. However, sometimes this would result in the system freezing outright after this short 5-10 second freeze... but it does not feel like a total system freeze, but rather a video freeze as the sound continues and I still have keyboard control... but this does require me to force a manual reboot of the machine itself. I have scowered the internet and various forums in an attempt to find what the issue was and use various methods to remedy this issue, but so far nothing has worked in my favor... but it does seem like this issue has been plaguing other users with the MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard. Below are some of the methods that I have used in an attempt to solve this issue:
*Default Clock for CPU/Memory/GPU; Over/Under Clock for CPU/Memory/GPU
*Increased voltages to CPU VID, AGP, and Memory
*Disabled/Enabled AGP Fast Writes
*Increased AGP Aperture from 64MB to 512MB
*Enabled/Disabled ATI/nVidia Speedup option in BIOS
*Forced AGP clock lock to 66-67mhz
*Relaxed/Aggressive memory timings
*APIC enabled/disabled
*Gate A20 turbo/normal
*Disabled all unneeded onboard components (Realtek NIC, Sound, SATA)
*Disabled nVidia MAC and attempted to use 3Com Gigabit PCI card instead
*Swapped HDD Cables
*Tried PCI Sound Card (SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer) in PCI Slots 3/4
*Tried video drivers from 71.89 Official to 76.45 beta modified drivers
*Tried 5.10 official nForce drivers to remixed 7.02 nForce drivers (5.10 drivers uses 4.36 GART, higher drivers uses the 4.40 GART)
*Applied all the latest updates from Windows Update Website
*Reinstalled Operating System (Windows XP SP2) 5 different times clean with various settings (APIC on/off, etc...) and different drivers.
*Installed Audio Card (SB Audigy2 ZS Gamer) with older and the latest drivers available from Creative's website
*Replaced PSU (Previously was a Thermaltake 420watt PSU, 18A +12v) with a OCZ Modstream 520watt PSU (28A +12v)
*Video card is KNOWN working from previous build (AMD XP 3000, Abit NF7-S)
*Hard Drive is KNOWN working from previous build
*CD/DVD-ROM drive is kNOWN working from previous build
*Heat is not an issue... all components temperature is well below rated level, the only unknown is the chipset temperature (it has a active heatsink and seems to not be hot to the touch, applied AS5 to it anyway)
*Used latency tweak to the video card
*Used Rivatuner to force constant performance level
*Tweaked BIOS to force even clock rates and forced 1.4v to the GPU Core
*Used original GPU BIOS
*Used MSI Neo2 K8N Bios 1.4 - 1.8 and modified BIOS 1.8
*No background applications are running (not even antivirus)
*Used application to force maximum refresh rates for my monitor
*Memory passed MemTest86+ for over 24 hours
*System passed Prime95 and SuperPi for over 24 hours
*System seems stable in all non gaming related applications
*Checked through various troubleshooting procedures
*Disabled SBDRVDET.EXE using MSCONFIG
*There are no IRQ conflicts outside of PCI system management sharing IRQ11 with the NIC and USB... in APIC there are no IRQ conflicts what so ever. Regardless neither method worked
*Installed AMD 64 drivers from AMD
*Disabled DEP in boot.ini
*...and many other various tweaks and modifications.

I have been fighting this issue for well over a month now and I am frankly nearly out of ideas, this does not necessarly prevent me from playing games, but this does interfere with the games I do play (especially online games). I do demand absolute stability from the games that I play and this issue only began AFTER I upgraded to the new motherboard, processor, and memory. The only thing I have not tried is something that I do not have access in attempting on this motherboard, and that is increasing the voltage to the chipset.
Here is my theory on what is going on is that I believe is there is a fault with the chipset on this motherboard and this is manifesting itself while I am playing various games on this system. Of course I would like to try increasing the voltage to the chipset as that would increase stability, but there is no option in BIOS to increase the chipset voltage like the previous motherboard I had (Abit NF7-S). It is possible that either a) the chipset is at fault and is causing me this issue or b) the chipset is not recieving enough voltage.
My question to the rest of you is this, what do you think the problem is and what ideas do you have that I may try that I have not tried yet. Additionally if there is nothing else that I may try should I attempt to RMA this motherboard and will that help, and is there any other versions of this motherboard that I should be aware of. I would appreciate any response from a MSI representative and any comments from those that may have positive suggestions for my issue. Thank you in advance for your time and any help that you may be able to render.

*EDIT* Added additional methods attempted... (there was a lot... so I did not remember everything that I have tried)

Quote from: dacull on 25-May-05, 16:06:33
Does it only happen in online games, or can it happen in all games? One thing to make sure of is to turn off CRC checksum offload in your NVidia MAC properties (everyone do this, it is incorrectly calculating checksums which leads to servers ignoring your packets). However as you have tried a different network card you can discount this theory.
For me it looks like the biggest culrpit is your 6800NU, i have read alot of bad things about the NU and you have a low bios revision there, just because it worked well against your old chipset doesnt mean it will work well against your current chipset. Sounds like a BIOS fix is needed as some timing is out somewhere.
Ensure Spread Spectrum is off (and as you have already pointed out Fast writes, ATI NV Speedup) and your card is running at default clock.
As a test beg/borrow/steal another graphics card (preferably nvidia) and see how it goes so you can narrow in on your video card.
It is not just one game, but it is more prodominate in certain games than others... the game in question here is Planetside... though I stuck a demo of Unreal Tournament 2004 on a loop bot match and it seemed to have locked up after 4 hours (not sure how many times it experienced that 5-10 freeze as I went to bed). As for the video card it was KNOWN working from a previous build in those same games (Previous build was a AMDXP3000 and a Abit NF7-S nForce2 motherboard). The only components different in this build is the AMD64, the MSI Neo2 K8N, 2 new sticks of Corsair XMS to replace the Corsair ValueSelects, and the SB Audigy2 as I would never use a software codec audio solution. Spread Spectrum is LOCKED in BIOS and disabled... ATI/nVidia speed up was disabled from the start... and I tried the Video Card at default clock, over clocked, as well as under clocked and the same issue resulted... as I said before it is NOT the video card.
There are two other things I could try is use my old Geforce4ti 4200 and see what happens... or even try out WindowsXP 64-bit edition as someone earlier suggested. I wish I could find a new BIOS for my XFX 6800NU, but there there is only the revision 1 BIOS that I was able to find. The mystery continues...

Neo2 platinum Encountering Stability Problems /w dual channel memory

Hello,
Recently I built my first computer ever, see bottom. After getting windows installed I then had problems with installing other programs and general stability issues. I tried reinstalling windows and after the reinstall I got the same problems.
Something to do with the instability is when I start it up, and go into BIOS, it states my Athlon 64 3500+ as running at 2211, a half percent overclock. Also, even though I have the FSB set as 200mhz, when I go into CoreCenter on windows it states the FSB as being set 201mhz. In the nVidia system utility, it states my memory as running at 402mhz, and I had to crank that down to 400mhz to get stability, it allowed my to install programs without error, but there were still stability problems like crashes(blue screen, the computer just plain restarting without notice). I took out one of my memory cards, both of them work alone though, I've ran memory test utilities. That had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable, but I still have problems, and I want to be able to take advantage of dual channel. I'm running my memory on auto and it's using the times of 2-3-3-6-2T.
Another problem I'm experiencing is the AC97 audio not being detected and loaded by windows, it will say I have no audio device, and the speaker will not show up in the notification area in the bottom right-hand corner. This happens inconsistantly.
-Thank You

hi bknoll,
welcome to the forum.
1) i wouldn't worry overmuch at the 201 issue.
2) Quote
I've ran memory test utilities. That had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable, but I still have problems
which test utilities did you use, Don't quiet understand Quote
had a good effect and the computer runs fairly stable
3) It may be worth checking the Mushkin site or any documentation you have to verify that the auto settings agree with the quoted settings for the modules. It's not unkown for errors to occur when the memory controller on the CPU to misinterpret the SPD chip setting on your sticks - this is where the auto settings come from. Some memory like certain corsair modules need to run at different settings on AMD64, thus auto timings must be overidden,
4) Have you installed the Realtek drivers from the CD, & enabled onboard sound in Bios. When these are done normally there's the MSI Sound Effect manager in control panel. you just need to set your speaker config in the Windows Sounds & Audio Devices.
5) Usual question What power supply are you using as been underpowered on the 12v rail in particular can be the cause of crashes,

MSI Neo2 beeep beeep beeep

My MSI Neo2 Pt does this time to time as soon as I power it on.
beeeeep pause beeeeep pause beeeeep pause beeeeep pause ........ infinity
these are not exactly short beeps but not even that long ones.....more like beeeeeep, and its not continous.
How I can get the computer to start -
1] Press reset switch couple of times and system boots/works well
if not
2] remove 1 of 4 mem module
if not
3] remove 2 of 4 mem modules
and this is giving me an headache now.
Memory is OK.
timings are either spd or pretty low, non aggressive.
DDR speed is either 400 or 333
Why is it at one time it works with all 4 modules, but at other times it doesnt even want to start ?
I was running all 4 modules for 3 days without any probs, and when I did this cold stat today, beeeep.....

whats that got to do with it ? Thats for a system builder, my system has been working OK, and this problem happens when I do a cold start.
However if I take one of my modules out, go into BIOS and change "ANYTHING" related to memory or HT multiplier, reboot and put my module in, the system starts, and then I again go in BIOS and revert to all changes made, and system runs fine....till the next cold start.
This mobo is possessed.
besides the beeps I am getting arent even listed in there, and Clearing CMOS with any of those, doesnt get rid of the beeps. Only the 2-3 ways I mentioned above does.

Vga silencer (ati) fit on msi neo2 939

I am concerned about the clearance between the northbridge fan and my vga silencer (ati ver.1) used currently on my ati 9800pro. I have ordered the msi neo2 and think that it will barely fit but wondered if anyone else have noticed this.
Thank you

I had a little problem installing mine. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out what was going on. The H/L switch on the VGA Silenser was hitting one of the capasitors on the mobo and I couldn't push the card all the way in. I had to unbolt and reposition the switch. And like the others said there's not much room between the NB fan and the card, but it does fit. I think it would be chalanging trying to get to the AGP slot clip with that tight fit. Good luck!

Big Problem with KT4V. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Hello ewerybody.
At first I describe you my confiugaration.
KT4V Mainbord
AthlonXP 1700+
256MB DDR 333
Segate Barracuda 20GB
CD-ROM LG 52X
Power Supply 230V
WIN 98SE
And now the problem.
It appears when the procesor is set to XP 1700+. After the temerature of processor rise obove 55 C my computer is shutdown automaticly even if the bios option "critical CPU themerature" is disabled. When it happens something like alarm siren goes off. It is one high and one low sound.
Another big problem is dramaticaly low ( even 20% - after one hour work ) "system resources". I dont know if it is call like that in english so it is START->Settings->Control Panel->System->"performance".
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

First thing you might want to do is get a new PSU. Anything under 300W is pretty much going to make for an unstable system for any processor like yours. AMD recommends(if I remember correctly) 300W or better and also read up on this sticky, I think it will help you out.

MSI Neo2 FR and ATI 4870

does anybody have a similar setup? i seem to be having problems getting my system to boot with a ATI 4870 in, i have tried everything. i even purchased a new PSU but i'm still getting the same result, has anybody came across a problem like this before with this board?
i dont really see why it would be causing a problem as my current 8000GT runs fine on the board :(
much thx

hi thx for the reply
as far as the board goes its a MSI Neo2 FR this is the one http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170&prod_no=1261
when i try to boot with the HD4870 in i get and error and going by the lights on the board it would be a problem with the graphics interface, green, red, red, red, i replace the card with my old 8800GT and the system boots fine. i know theres nothing wrong with the ATI 4870 card as its been sent back to the place i bought it from and tested and seems to be fine :/
edit: i also have the latest bois which is v1.10
