MSI Neo2 Platinum (Winchester3200) - strange instability issue in Windows

My specs:
Winchester 3200 CPU
MSI Neo2 Platinum 1.4 bios
2 x 512 Kingston PC4000 3-3-3-8-1
Gainward 5900Xt GS
Seagate 160Gb SATA on SATA port 3
The problem seems quite odd to me, so I decided to post here. Generally, the PC is stable, passes more than an hour of Prime95, 3d marks run fine etc.. but in Windows (XP Sp1) I'm getting this annoying issue: when I let the system run idle for a while, with none or some windows open but no programs active, my computer literally freezes. I can move the mouse, but i can't open any windows or click any buttons. Still, the keyboard is responding so I hit ALT + CTRL + DEL and get the Windows Security window. There I click on the Task Manager and all i get is an empty desktop, with the wallpaper but no icons or any activity whatsoever.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Nope.. And I hardly believe it's a software issue. Will try a fresh install of XP today, nut the reason of such strange behaviour escapes me :] Cmon people, any ideas ?
If you problem isn't related to software, then the only other thing that comes to mind is that overclocking is the culprit. I'm not overclocking anything (except my 3d card, and that only slightly) and have no such problems with my K8N Neo2. You describe a strange problem, certainly, and in my own experience such behaviors--system runs great in some normal situtations but in others it doesn't--have always been related to overclocking of some kind. If you aren't overclocking anything then it's probably software induced. Good luck!

Msi neo2 platinum / venice 3.2 start up issues!!

hello people,
I´ve recently bought and neo2 platinum and a a64 venice, but I´m having problems with the boot up.
problem: when a turn on the psu swith, (without presing the power botton of the case), the sistem turns on for itself. It doesn´t boot, just turns on, so I have to press the case botton to do so.

thanks for your help, but it´s still doing it, the cables are all well conected, right now don´t know what I´m gone do, may be try with rma
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. Your mobo manual will have at least two different LED connections. Only one is correct for your case. To make matters worse, it's possible that your mobo LED pins and your case LED connectors aren't color coated. The mobo I have (Neo 4 Plat) was like that. My Power LED switch on my case was different that what the book showed. If you have it plugged into the green area on the mobo then try the black area for the Power LED. Now if that doesn't work then it's something else. Remember after you plug it into the black area, remember to reset your CMOS as before.
If that doesn't work, did your board come with a D-bracket? The little bracket with LED lights on it used to diagnostic utility.

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 Platinum Instability

I just got my whole new computer setup within the last few days. The problem I have come to now is that my system pretty much randomly reboots itself every so often( like 1-5 hours). I've had this happen both while the system is under load being burning a dvd and also when i'm just surfin the net. One of the first things I did was to flash the bios to version 1.4 before i installed the os. I also read a guide that I saw someone post on here about the settings for the neo2 motherboard and adjusted what was needed accordingly and checked that my bios is set about the same for stability. At first I thought it was just my video card screwing it up as when I put the system together it was with a very old card but then I got the new one and the same thing keeps happening. Then I thought it may be that my windows installation was corrupt or just a bad one so i formatted my drive and redid the installation, but to no avail, I still got the same random reboots. The temperature readouts in the bios are 37 for the cpu and 30 for the case so i don't think its overheating or anything. I am wondering if anyone has experienced similar problems or knows of this problem and can lend a suggestion to what the problem is.
My setup is as follows:
MSI K8N neo2 Platinum
AMD 3500 90nm
1 gig OCZ pc3200 platinum rev. 2
ATI All-In-Wonder 9800
OCZ 420 watt power supply

thanx for the help

turn of auto matic reboots so you can see the bsod
and post stop code and any driver etc it blames
Memtest86
I'm not sure how to turn off automatic reboots. I only see the blue screen for literally a split second just before it reboots.
I'm using WinXP btw and have all updates installed incause that matters. Anyway everytime it restarted in the first install it used to blame the video driver but with this new second install of windows i have a different video card and different drivers so it doesn't say "device driver wrong for video card(or something similar) anymore. Now it says pretty much the same thing but doesn't limit it to the video card, it just says device drivers are wrong or something like that.

MSI K9A Platinum and VIA drivers issue? XP 0x0000007B stop error.

I get a Windows Stop error when trying to boot into Windows XP with new components. The SATA hard drive (and Windows XP installation) is from the old computer.
The new computer components are:
MB: MSI K9A Platinum, chipset: RD580 (North Bridge), SB600 (South Bridge)
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 x2 5600+, boxed (the cooler and fan came with the CPU).
Video: MSI Radeon 1950 XTX
The old (and working) computer setup is:
OS: XP Professional
MB: Abit AV8-3rd Eye, chipset: VIA K8T800Pro + VT8237
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Video: Sapphire Radeon 9800Pro All-in-Wonder, videodriver: atidvag.dll version 6.14.10.6542
HD: Maxtor 6B200M0 SCSI Disk Device
BIOS: Phoenix 6.00PG 20.04.2005
System drivers with "via" in the name: VIAAGP1.SYS, viaide.sys, viasride.sys
VIA 4in1 (Hyperion) version: 4.55 (that can be found at HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Via4in1Driver).
VIA 2.20e SATA/RAID driver was used when installing this computer setup.
The precise stop error is:
0x0000007B (0xba4c3528, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)
From many sites I have gathered that the error is related to Windows XP not being able to access a critical system drive. Most probably the SATA hard drive issue.
The problem probably is the VIA drivers of the old motherboard and/or the SATA driver.
First I should mention, that MSI K9A Platinum does not have a hard disk SATA driver. If it does, I have been unable to find one. Certainly no such floppy disk included, and no such driver in the MSI's Web page for this motherboard.
Second important point: I never used RAID. I did use VIA 2.20e SATA/RAID driver disk when installing Windows XP to the old computer.
Strange that the hard drive model is reported as a "SCSI Disk Device". It's not a SCSI drive however: it's a SATA disk.
I have tried to uninstal the motherboard chipset drivers (Hyperion v4.55), but there seems to be a bug here: the drivers should be uninstalled using the installation program, and select the uninstall option. However, I do not get the uninstallation option to choose at all! Yes, I'm using the normal installation mode, not the quick installation (although tried that, too). The Hyperion setup program just installs, and asks to reboot the computer. After rebooting and trying again, it still does not offer me an uninstallation choise.
I know how to install hard drive VIA SATA driver, but I have no idea how to uninstall it. And I'm afraid to do that without certainty that it IS the solution, since I could not access the hard drive any more in the old computer setup (and return to read this forum). Also, I do not have a floppy drive any more. Anyone know if there is an issue with K9A and XP having VIA SATA driver installed?
When I tried the new computer setup, I first tried the simplest possible hardware combination: there were no CD/DVD-drives, no (parallel)IDE hard drives, and no PCI cards, except the MSI video adapter.
My BIOS Setup experiments. None of these helped: got the same stop error each time.
1) I didn't much touch the BIOS setting first. Just tried to boot with the settings BIOS came with.
2) Next I disabled the integrated audio, LAN and IEE1394 devices and floppy drive and disabled all other choises except the SATA drive as a boot device.
3) Next I tried with the fail-safe BIOS defaults.
4) Cleared CMOS.
5) Changed OnChip SATA type from Native IDE to Legacy IDE. (Only one boot attempt with the setting as Legacy.)
6) Disabled PCI IDE BusMaster.
7) Never touched anything in the Cell Menu: so the settings are in minimum.
A step I have taken after the last attempt: run Windows XP hard drive error-checking tool to every logical drive with the fix option selected, and the system drive also with scan the bad sectors option selected.
My plans next are:
1) to install a newer Hyperion driver. If that would correct the no-unistallation-choice-bug,
2) to disable USB-devices in the BIOS (desperate),
3) to choose the Windows general video display driver (although I seriously doubt this is a display driver problem!).
4) to uninstall the Anti-Virus software (Avira Antivir).
I've read a numerous Web pages so far about the 0x0000007B stop error. Here are some links:
Quote
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/knowledge_base/
Stop 0x0000007B or INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE
This Stop message, also known as Stop 0x7B, indicates that Windows XP Professional lost access to the system volume or boot volume during the startup process. This error always occurs while the system is starting and is often caused by one of the following:
* Hardware problems
* Corrupted or incompatible storage drivers
* File system problems
* Boot sector viruses
* Outdated firmware
During I/O system initialization, this error can occur when:
* The controller or driver for the startup device (typically the hard disk) failed to initialize the necessary hardware.
* File system initialization failed because the system did not recognize the data on the boot device.

You receive a Stop 0x0000007B error after you move the Windows XP system disk to another computer
SYMPTOMS
After you move the Microsoft Windows XP system (boot) disk to a backup computer, you may receive the following Stop error when you try to start the Windows XP-based backup computer:
STOP: 0x0000007B (0xF741B84C,0xC0000034,0x00000000,0x00000000)
CAUSE
This error may occur if the registry entries and the drivers for the mass storage controller hardware in the backup computer are not installed in Windows XP.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this error, use the same hardware for the backup computer.
Heh, heh! Very nice Microsoft, but I plan to update my computer, so I NEED to use different components

Device Driver Issues
You may receive a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message in the following scenarios:
•   A device driver that the computer boot controller needs is not configured to start during the startup process.
•   A device driver that the computer boot controller needs is corrupted.
•   Information in the Windows XP registry (information related to how the device drivers load during startup) is corrupted.
Hardware Issues
You may receive a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message if there is a resource conflict between the boot controller and another controller or between SCSI devices. You may also receive this Stop error message if drive translation is not being performed or if drive translation was changed. To troubleshoot this issue:
1.   If an IRQ or I/O port address conflict exists between the boot controller and another controller, Windows XP either stops responding (hangs) or displays a "Stop 0x0000007B" error message. If you recently added new hardware, remove the new hardware or reconfigure it so that it does not conflict with the resources of any other installed controllers.
2.   If you are using a SCSI hard disk, check the SCSI chain for correct termination. Remove any unused SCSI devices or make sure that each SCSI ID is unique.
3.   Make sure that drive translation is turned on (if it is required) and that it has not been changed. For example, if you recently switched controllers, this issue may occur.

SYMPTOMS
When you start your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer after you replace the motherboard on the computer, you may receive a Stop error message that is similar to the following:
STOP 0x0000007B INACCESSABLE_BOOT_DEVICE
CAUSE
This issue may occur if the new motherboard contains an embedded IDE controller that has a different chipset than the original motherboard.
RESOLUTION
Method 1: Perform an in-place upgrade of Windows XP [<- That means repair installation of Windows XP]
•   Do not use a repair or in-place upgrade if you suspect disk problems.
Method 2: Repartition and format your hard disk and reinstall Windows XP

Alright I got the situation over.

I did try all all the above, and none of them helped.
And by the way: after installing the new Hyperion (VIA chipset drivers), I was finally able to also uninstall. It also uninstalled the IDE SATA (I think) and PATA drivers.
But what I had to do, was to make a REPAIR installation of Windows XP.
So, I was wondering now afterwards: this is really, really silly. Why the hell we need to re-install Windows if we move the SYSTEM SATA drive to another computer? We don't have similar problem with parallel IDE drives. Whom should we thank here??
The issue is to insert the driver files and the information of the ide drivers Windows should use with the next boot. How can it be this difficult?
What you basically need is..
- the information about the new chipset's PCIIDE.SYS/[VENDOR_PROVIDED_FILE].SYS and ATAPIIDE.SYS inserted into the values in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSetXXX\Control\CriticalDeviceDatabase
- and the vendor's IDE drivers to the %SYSTEMROOT%/System32/drivers folder.
Maybe something else, I don't know. But the problem was, Windows didn't know how, or what drivers to use. That can't be so big problem you need to install the whole OS anew!

MSI neo2 platinum problem, forced to reset BIOS everytime I turn on the PSU

I just got my neo2 platinum mobo. Everytime I switch it ON all the led's at the back (diagnostic) turn red/orange and never turn green.
I have to reset the bios everytime to get it to post successfully. (bios is the original bios, no flashes done)
Processor: 3000+ (939)
Anyone else have this problem? what causes it?
[update] the bios version is 1.3 which is the latest on the msi website
System Specs..
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ 90nm (socket 939)
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum
1 GB Kingston HyperX DDR 400 CS2
SBlive
Nvidia GeForce4 Ti4200 128MB MEM
Logitech MX510
1x80GB WD HDD with 8MB cache
1x120GB WD HDD with 8MB cache
Lite-On 48x CD-RW
NEC 16X DVD RW Drive
RAIDMAX Black Aluminum Gaming Case with 6 case fans and 420W PSU

I think the power supply may be the problem
Once you reset the bios you don't need the amps to spin up the drives, as they are already spinning, saving you about 3 amps I bet. If the newer bios doesn't help, try unplugging half those case fans, the non boot drive, and take the cd's out of you optical drives so they dont spin up, then try cold booting your box a couple times. If it works you know you need a new power supply.
If it doesn't perhaps you've got a grounding problem? Are you positive that nothing metal is touching your motherboard where it shouldn't? If that isn't it, Id assume the cmos never really clears, and then take the battery out of the motherboard for a good hour while the power supply is unplugged, then give it another shot. I've seen a bunch of DFI boards do weird stuff like that before, the exact same thing actually. Nvidia has a few odd issues with the nforce chipsets and the cmos.
Oh, since you asked, 3000+ is 1.8 ghz. It will probably run at 2.4ghz easy (1.4 volts), thats a 90nm chip

K8N Neo2 platinum & 750g sata RAID issue

Hi there I have an issue with booting up. I have 1 200g Western digital HDD where windows is installed and I have 1 further 500g WD drive which were both fine until I decided to buy 2 samsung 750g HDD's to run in RAID. I have installed the drives in RAID and formatted but I am having a problem with booting.
If I reset, the computer keeps rebooting at the detection stage, powers off and keeps doing it over and over. Sometimes it will go through if you wait long enough. When I turn the power on and off it will go through the detection stage no worries every time but then at the XP loading screen it will freeze there. Sometimes it goes through and I will boot into XP fine and other times I can't get in.
I have the latest Bios 7025V1D but I am wondering if this issue is bios related because of the 750g size... The problem has only started since I have installed the two 750g HDD's in RAID. Does this bios version support 750g HDD's? Is there an updated BIOS to fix this problem somewhere?
I have 2gig of ram, 3500+ processor, latest Nforce3 drivers from Nvidia, RAID drives on sata ports/3/4, 500gig WD on sata port 1, 200 gig WD is HDD is IDE, Windows SP2 and all updated, ummmmmm everything else is fine I'm fairly sure.
I had a few troubles installing the RAID drivers because windows didn't want to accept the drivers I downloaded from here and did not want to accept the drivers in windows. I ended up getting it the drives to come on-line through the use of START/NVIDIA corp/ NVIDIA RAID program (cant remember the name, typing this on another computer).
Any ideas would be greatly and very muchly appreciated!
Terry.

Ok My PSU is: WideTECH 550w, +3.3v=33a, +5v=36a, +12v=25a, -12v=1.0a, +5vsb=2.5a.
I am only running 3 HDD's at the moment, the 2 750's and the 1 200gig. I have left the other 500gig unplugged until I get this problem sorted. I don't have a cd rom plugged in or a floppy. I only connect them when I need to because this computer is setup to be a storage server and I use my other pc for anything dvd related etc. The only other thing which is chewing power is the video card which is an old 6800gt ultra. So basically the power issue was fine until I installed the two extra HDD's and as I have unplugged the 500gig for the time being its only really one extra HDD which shouldn't be an issue. Oh I have two 80mm case fans using the psu aswell.
As for my other specs: I have 1 gig of Geil dual channel RAM 2x512 sticks, CPU=AMD Athlon64 3500+, MB is MSI K8n Neo2 Platinum, Vid card= Leadtek geforce 6800gt ultra 256 agp, You know about my HDD's but here they are again= 1x 200g WD caviar IDE, 1x 500g WD caviar sata(1 I think), 2 x 750g samsung sata (2 I think), OS = XP Home SP2 with all lasest automatic updates, latest BIOS etc etc etc....
My windows is a legit copy as well.
You mentioned putting my HDD's into sata 1 mode... I was of the opinion that my motherboard does not support sata2 anyway and would not allow them to run in anything but sata1?? If I did want to change the sata mode where would I do this anyway?
Thanks for your reply but I don't think it has to do with psu or sata mode although I'm interested about this sata2 thing, please explain.
Thanks in advance,
Terry.

MSI Neo2 Platinum should beep if the cpu is dead?

I have a Neo2 Platinum and a 3500+. When I try to start the computer the fan starts to spin but the monitor is black. The computer doesnt make any beeping sound. I know its either the CPU or the motherboard that is broken. Should the motherboard make any sound if the CPU is dead?
My D-bracket says "Early Chipset Initialization" and "Bios Sign On" (shows info about logo, cpu brand name etc..)
Depends on how I start up the computer (psu power switch or button)
The problem started a few weeks ago. The computer made lots of reboots and now I cant even access bios. Ive replaced all other components (ram,psu, HDD) but nothing happens. So is there any way to find out if its the motherboard or the cpu?

Quote from: bennyfax on 25-October-06, 07:59:57
Ok thanks for trying to help me but its not the HDD's. Its the motherboard or the cpu. I just dont know which one.
your CPU is not dead for sure.
try barabone setup,(leave only basic parts which is necessary to boot) and Clear CMOS Guide(remove power cord from PSU before proceed).
test with one stick of memory only.

OEM Visiontek AGP GeForce2 GTS, 32MB DDR on MSI Neo2 Platinum as temp fix?

I'm taking my ATI 9700 Pro to ATI to have it RMA'd for some rolling interference lines. I've done troubleshooting and its the card.
Will I have any problems using this Geforce2 GTS AGP card as a temporary replacement while I wait for the ATI card to be fixed? I'm swapping it and I get $5 for my Matrox G400 max AGP card. For obvious reasons, I'm not keeping and using the G series Matrox G400 since it won't work in my PC with the MSI Neo2 and BIOS 1.4 etc etc
So any problems using this as a temporary replacement?
OEM Visiontek AGP GeForce2 GTS, 32MB DDR
thanx for any feedback,

Forgot to do that! Its working fine though. I'll try to clean out the old ATI drivers. This is only temporary and I'll be wiping this system clean and starting over anyways.
So far its ok. Another troubleshooting verification that the 9700 Pro I had was faulty. With this gforce2 gts the rolling horizontal lines are absent.

MSI Neo2 Platinum will not POST, but fans spin.

I bought this board about 2 months ago.
I install the board and it works fine, until a few weeks ago. Im playing fear and it crashes into BSOD...then every time i try to load a game BSOD. This points to the memory- so i look at my DDR booster, and teh memory is a little off...i correct it and the game loads fine. I play for a little longer, then exit to windows and then the computer just starts BSODing like every 5 minutes. So i was like " it" im going to cut the memory back...strangly, the only dividers that work were 133 and 183...the rest just did not work.
Then finally, i restart the computer, and no POST screen. I clear CMOS, nothing. Take the battery out for an hour, nothing. Take the memory out, no POST...I dont get it...the fans spin and everything powers on, but no signal is sent to the monitor.
Then today, a few weeks later, I plug in just a PSU and a video card. Same thing happens: Fans spin, no POST. oddly enough, whenever power is supplied to teh mobo it turns on, it doesnt wait for a power button to be pushed.
2 things that might help diagnose the problem:
Almost every BSOD pointed to ntfs.sys
The PSU makes that clicking sound like its restarting about every 10 seconds when i boot up and there is no POST.
Anyone know what i need to do? All other componants work fine in a AV8 3rd Eye, so it is the mobo.
Thank you.

Welcome to the Forum. Please post complete system specs by creating a "sig" as described in the forum rules. Be sure to include complete power supply specs (brand, model and amps on 3.3, 5 and 12 volts) as shown on the label on the side of the power supply itself. The fact that a component works in the ABIT board does not mean that it is not the problem in your board, so don't forget to list all components in reasonable detail (e.g., memory size brand specs, hd, cards). Please confirm that you board is MSI #7025 too. Good luck.
EDIT - We need to know your Bios version and whether you flashed, and if so, how and from and to what versions.
fixed. All info should be in sig. I have tried 2 different PSUs, my Powersream 520 and my Antec SL400 all to no avail.
I did flash my bios via booting off a floppy to the most recent beta bios, but it worked fine for a good while before eventually failing.
All the componants in the sig were working fine in the mobo, and my HTT was 305x9 Stable. I was using a DDR Booster.
And im sorry, what do you mean by MSI #7025?

MSI NEO2 PLATINUM Shut down

OK has anyone had this happen to the when I overclock my cpu to say 3gig and try to push 1.85volts through it my mobo and everything just shuts down the only thing that remains powered is the power led on my case??? Very odd I was thinking it could be my antec true power 550W psu but it does supply 24amps on the 12v rail but then again even though my cpu is prometeia cooled the bios still reads the temps wrong now does the msi have a cpu protection built in as in a setting in the bios because I couldnt find it ??
Any answers would be great
Cheers

No the system doesnt start back up it just black screens and powers off all except the on led when I do oc some times it will restart in safe mode and I know this cpu does over 3gig as it has in another machine at 1.85v thats why I was asking about a motherboard or cpu protection shut down thingy ??? Oh and yes my agp/pci is always locked at 66

I flashed the modded BIOS and it seems to disable USB2.0 altogether. Other than that, I see no change from b6 version.
