Msi p35 neo2-fr disable EIST in bios

hello !
My name is Adrian. My system spec.:
msi p35 neo2-fr (bios ver.1.A),
CPU core 2 duo E8400 C0
mem. dual chanel kit 2x2GB geil pristine ddr2 800
2x250 hdd western digital WD2500YS
Video Gigabyte GV-NX88T512HP 8800GT 512 DDR3
Sound Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE
PSU Chieftec 450W 2x12v: 36 amp., 5v: 25 amp.
OS dual boot windows xp sp3 and windows vista sp2
My problem is when i disable EIST in bios Vista gives me a blue screen (0x0000007F) on boot and XP restarts without any error.
Any idea ? Thank you anticipated !

I want to overclock and i want to change the multiplier to make some tests ! And i can`t do that without EIST DISABLED !
OK, stay calm.  Getting frustrated is only going to make people not reply.
I'm not sure why disabling EIST is giving you a BSOD.  I don't think anyone has any ideas since you have no real replies.
A kernel trap is hardware failure usually.  Makes me think when you disable EIST, the machine becomes unstable.   Are you setting the default multiplier for your processor?  Hell, we don't even know what it is.  How about you list your rig specs?
Just to add:  Overclocking with EIST enabled is pretty much the same.  You save power, so I don't know why you'd want to turn it off, in all honesty.

  • MSI P35 Neo2-FIR: red LEDs after BIOS upgrade

    I upgraded the BIOS to version 1.6, since I had a Highpoint IDE controller card that wouldn't work, so I thought upgrading might resolve the problem (it didn't, but that's a separate thread  ).
    However, after upgrading, all the status LEDs are red (they were previously all green), but the system works just fine! I can boot into the OS and everything works. But the LEDs are still red (and obviously there's nothing wrong with the CPU).
    In other words, this is in no way a showstopper. But it's annoying, and I thought someone might have an idea about the cause for this. I have tried clearing the CMOS but without any effect.

    Del UK: I updated the BIOS using afud408 that is in the BIOS zip file, booting from a USB stick. I have a Highpoint IDE controller card that wouldn't work with the original BIOS. Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the newest BIOS either.
    KelticDaz: I just reverted to the 1.5 BIOS, and the LEDs are green again! Now they change during POST also. Thanks for the suggestion!
    I think I will stick to the 1.5 BIOS, apart from the above also because it seems like a couple of the BIOS setup options have been removed in the 1.6 BIOS.
    Just wondering if you had a bad flash. Nothing removed in my update from 1.4 to 1.6, in fact I noticed an extra option!

  • MSI P35 Neo2-FR, Im having WEIRD beeps in BIOS continiously unstopping.

    Oh dear lord, i bought a new board and now im having some stupid beeps going off every 3sec in the BIOS, i updated to 1.8 bios and now its going every 1sec, BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP, every time there is a beep the system hangs a bit, i pretty much cant do anything in BIOS and its getting on my nerves. What is causing this? I tried removing all the drives, my cpu fan is connected to molex not to the motherboard though. In windows they go away, a bit when loading windows logo and it hangs the windows logo too for a few times, then all leds go green, before im getting from top to bottom Green, Green, Green, Red, Green

    Nothing helps, tried butting a fan into the cpu fan slot, nothing, tryed removing PCI cards, nothing, NOTHING helps, it just keeps beeping and hanging on those beeps in the BIOS. When it gets to windows load screen all is fine, the frick.
    EDIT: Allright, the answer to this problem is, go to windows and do a restart from windows, go to BIOS and there is no more beeping. I did a save and exit and rewent to BIOS and still no beeping, then did the shutdown and power on to BIOS and no beeps. So, weird problem but an easy answer to fix it. I think its something to do with the motherboard booting for the first time, it just needed to go to windows and make a restart. Weeeeeiiiiird.
    Cya, hope this helpes someone in the future.

  • Msi p35 neo2 fr motherboard - system freezes

    Hello , I just bought a Msi p35 neo2 fr motherboard and I have this problem . My system randomly freezes ,no errors ,no blue
    screens  and I have to restart it . I tried each module of ram separately and I got the same problem .
    The video card worked fine on my old system and I don`t think this could be . Also the standby led (led 3 ) is always on and red
    Maybe I messed up the " wire up "  . I could use some tips about how to properly wire up and which settings should be done in BIos for my configuration ?

    Spread Spectrum
    When the motherboard’s clock generator pulses, the extreme values (spikes) of the
    pulses creates EMI (Electromagnetic Interference). The Spread Spectrum function
    reduces the EMI generated by modulating the pulses so that the spikes of the pulses
    are reduced to flatter curves. If you do not have any EMI problem, leave the setting at
    [Disabled] for optimal system stability and performance. But if you are plagued by EMI,
    select the desired range for EMI reduction. Remember to disable Spread Spectrum
    function if you are overclocking, because even a slight jitter can introduce a temporary
    boost in clock speed which may just cause your overclocked processor to lock
    up."

  • MSI P35 Neo2-FR

    Hi
    MSI P35 Neo2-FR v1.1 Bios 1.1
    cpu e4300
    intial findings on 200 FSB jumper 9x356 takes 1.4v on NB to get into windows
    9x356 on 266 FSB jumper takes stock(1.250)
    Some questions, what is a safe voltage to run on the p35 chipset and on this board? Also the board defaults to 2t command rate, and I can see nowhere to select or change, where/can you change to 1t.
    In Bios, there is a setting  "Auto disable Dimm/PCI Frequency"   what does this do?
    thanks in advance

    Changing the straps causes the chipset to use tighter or looser timings. Why the excessive voltage is required on 200FSB strap.
    The auto disable is the PCI frequency lock, it's best enabled whenever overclocking.

  • Need Help with ESATA on MSI P35 Neo2-FR

    I have the MSI P35 Neo2-FR motherboard http://www.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&prod_no=1261 and trying to get the eternal ESATA to work.  It works with one individual HD.  I'm using an external ESATA drive with 3 HD inside the external case with one cable running into the external ESATA in the back of the motherboard.  It's only recognizing 1 drive and the other 2 isn't showing up.  If I switch it to USB connection it will read all 3 drives.  I'm running windows 7 x64 but it recognize on my other 2 computers with a different motherboard. I have install it with the ACHI setup in Bios and I've also install the Matrix Storage Controller after installation.  I never install the Intel ICH9R SATA RAID driver where you have to press the F6 to install it.  Is that what I'm missing and is taht needed for the ESATA to work?    I'm getting this message "A storage device was connected. If this device is a port multiplier, only port 0 of the port multiplier will be active." Been googling all day and still can't figure out what I'm missing.
    Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    For some reason this board is Bios only have IDE, RAID and ACHI and I don't see a SATA.
    IDE, RAID and AHCI are operating modes of the SATA Controller.  Everything okay here.

    Seems to me it's either this board and it's driver don't let you use the port multiplier but it suppose to support port multiplier.
    It is neither the board, nor is it the driver.  It is a limitation of the Intel ICH9R Chipset.  You will have the same problem on all P35/ICH9R based mainboards.  Read here:

    Unfortunately, used in the south bridges ICH9R the version of such technology provides access only to one hard disk at the specific moment of time. . The technology became more complex to realize , which implies to several access disks simultaneously, possesses higher cost and more higher central processor loads , therefore it can be rejected.

  • MSI P35 Neo2-Fr -- can't get onboard audio device to appear in XP

    I've just installed XP sp3 onto my new mobo (MSI P35 Neo2-Fr).
    Attached is Q6600 core2 quad processor, 2GB memory (DDR2), ATI HD4850 gfx card. I haven't changed the bios much at all or overclocked anything yet.
    All seems fine *except* that I can't windows XP to see that there's an onboard audio device.
    (It is enabled in the bios btw.) I've tried installing the high def audio driver on the CD from mobo box, and also downloaded the latest from the MSI site. I uninstall the driver and reboot before trying to reinstall it again btw.
    The audio driver installer used to say there was a problem installing the driver, but it doesn't any more. After installing it and rebooting, XP control panel -> Audio devices says there are no audio devices.
    Also, I notice that there should be an extra audio item in the XP control panel (according to mobo manual), but this hasn't appeared.
    In XP's system hardware list there are no sound devices under Sound, but there are two unknown PCI devices (with yellow question marks next to them).
    Any suggestions?

  • MSI P35 NEO2 FIR voltage problems!!

    Let's start:
     I have MSI P35 NEO2 FIR ,e5200,2 x Geil ultra plus 1066+,as us 2900CT,lcpower 6550g and...rest- not so important for my questions.
    1.My problem is next: default voltage values for my RAM is ~2.2-2.4 every time I check in windows (speedfun,sisoft Sandra, everest..)shows me 2.0 or some time even 1.8v  . When i change voltage in bios and went to win voltage on RAM is still unchanged (2.0v)  .
    Same thing happen with NB voltage. But CPU voltage I can change freely with no problem.
    When I change fsb(try to overclock) suddenly memory voltage rises how i do not now  , but only to 2.35 and no more.
    Can anyone help me fix this problem because my memory is not stable at 2.0 or 1.8 sometimes and system crashes?
    2.When i change cpu settings from 12.5*200 to (example)10*300 in windows even in system properties see that my current clock is 12.5*300=3750 and not 10*300=3000 like it should be .
    Is it bios problem?
    My bios version is 1.9.
    Thanks!

    same problem with the Neo2 FR (like mine). After quite of bit of researching and testing i reckon that software can not correctly read the vRAM on these MSI boards. I found that Speedfan, Everest, and HardwareMonitor all gave an incorrect reading for my RAM's voltage. Also, if i increased the cpu voltage in the BIOS then the voltage monitoring programs would show an increase in CPU voltage and RAM voltage (even though i had not changed the latter).

    ~400 MHz is the correct frequency for your modules.  CPU-Z shows real clock speed.  DDR means Double Data Rate (two transactions per clock cycle).  Multiply 399.5 MHz by two in your head and you have your effective DDR(2) rating of 800 MHz.  There is no problem here.

    CL5 is the standard latency for DDR2-800 modules.  It ensures that they are able to operate @JEDEC standard voltage settings @1.8V (+/-0.1V).  The board is supposed to set memory timings to CL5, otherwise your system would not be able to boot at standard voltage.  Check the "SPD" tab in CPU-Z and look for the standard timings that were programmed into the SPD chips of your modules (400 MHz), I am absolutely sure that you won't see 4-4-4-12 @400 MHz @1.8V being part of the SPD tables.
    You have to manually adjust memory timings in BIOS to 4-4-4-12 AND also increase memory voltage to the value the manufacturer recommends for CL4/DDR2-800 MHz.  The voltage is usually 2.0-2.2V depending on the brand and type of RAM in use.

  • MSI P35 Neo2-FR booting error

    Hello all.
    The problem I'm having is concerning a MSI P35 Neo2-FR.  For about the past year, this mainboard has been used in a Windows Home Server Setup.  Not to long ago, we had a power outage (Yes, should have been plugged up to a UPS, Mea Culpa).  When the power came back, (and I got home), it couldn't get it to boot.  It was doing the old MSI False boot routine that has become infamous. While checking the cables inside, I hit the CMOS reset button while the power was on.  Now, I'm not sure how completely screwed I am, but at this point I'm stalled as far as booting at the "initializing keyboard" status light indicator.  (Two red followed by a green, then another red, from top to bottom on the LED status light strip). It just hangs there forever. I can't get to a bios screen.
    Is there anyway to salvage this?
    Oh, and I have an Identical system (different videocard, but same MB, Ram and CPU that went through it, to no ill effects.)
    Before it's asked, I have fiddled with the memory (swapped slots, used one stick etc), I have tried booting it with no RAM, no Keyboard, a PS2 Keyboard and a USB Keyboard.  All to no avail.

    hoho resetting the BIOS while the system is still on is a big sin..I have done the same mistake as u are and to settle this..there's a thing called RMA,u might want to try that 

  • Msi p35 neo2 fr problem

    Alright, I have been using this board for quite sometime and today it gives me problem.
    When i tried to boot up this morning, the board just keeps on restarting. This happened once b4 but the problem solved after I pressed on the reset button on the board.
    whereas for today, after resetting, the board did stop restarting itself, but it hangs when the LED is at (red, red, green, red)from top to bottom. I refered to the user guide and it shows that there is a problem during memory detection.
    Can anyone pls help?
    This is what I have
    Mobo: MSI P35 Neo2-FR
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66 1333mhz/4mb
    RAM: Kingston Hyperx 2x2GB DDR2-800
    Video Card: Nvidia Geforce 8500GT
    HDD: 1xHitachi Deskstar 1TB SATA 3.0gb/s, 1 Samsung 160GB(SATA), 1 Seagate IDE 80GB(IDE)
    OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP2
    PSU: AcBell 400W DC Output (There are a few of them.. didnt know which one.. the highest is 28Amps)

    Okay.  About the memory issue:  I believe a BIOS Update to the latest version may fix the problem with your DDR2-800 modules.  BIOS v1.2, v1.3 and v1.4 had known problems with DDR2-800 modules. In case you decide to do that, please >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<< and avoid MSI Live Update or any other Windows based flasher.
    About the video card:  I is not necessarely defective.  Your PSU is not only a low-end poor quality device but also rather weak in the first place.  Try a stronger one with your original video card and see if that changes anything.

    Help?

    Quote from: Sharp on 24-February-08, 00:09:47
    Hello,
    Could be a few things.
    Make a list of everything that you are using with the board so that we know what you have.
    EG, look at the bottom of my post.
    Do you have a floppy drive?
    http://www.memtest.org/download/2.01/memtest86+-2.01.floppy.zip
    - Extract all the files to a folder.
    - Run the install file and it will create a memtest boot disk for you.
    - Then boot from the floppy disk and let the program run for a while (4 hours+)
    - If it detects any errors instantly stop and report back here. (or try 1 stick at a time)
    CD or USB versions available here.
    http://www.memtest.org/#downiso
    But it is important that we know what else you are using with the board.
    Could be a weak power supply or you are using different branded memory modules.
    And did you plug all the power connectors into the board?
    - 24pin ATX
    - 8pin +12v EPS connector
    - Molex near the first PCIE x16 slot.
    Just incase this thought has crossed your mind,
    Do not attempt to the flash the BIOS until you know the system is 100% stable/working
    Molex near PCI-E X16 slot? I didn't plug that in no. What's it for may I ask?

  • MSI P35 Neo2-FR / FIR

    Hello,
    Yesterday my pc didn't start and my motherboard status led were stuck on all green.After I turned off the PSU and turn it on again the leds went to all 4 red. After an hour of powering on and off ( and 1 CMOS reset) it went on red green red red (ram failure).   I kept trying while changing the ram position around but no luck. While doing my attempts I notice that only a few times did the leds blink confirming that the their status changed. Also i noticed that when the leds blinked , the pc fans were making more noise, normal to when the pc is on and working. The other times i noticed that the leds just kept their old colors and the fans were a bit quite than normal.A few times the leds changed from red green red red to all 4 red (cpu failure) and with the fan noise like when pc is working normally.
    The day before I had the same problem but I managed to start the pc within the first hour.
    Now i'm stuck at all 4 reds with no status change on them and fan noise lower meaning i think that is not getting to the point where is checking the cpu,ram etc.
    PC Configuration:
    - Motherboard : MSI P35 Neo2-FR / FIR BIOS Vs : 1.C
    - CPU : Intel e8400 no OC
    - PSU : Fortron Blue Storm II 500 W
    - GPU : Gainward ATI Radeon HD 4850 no OC
    - RAM : 2x Corsair XMS2-6400 ver 5.4 no OC

    Update:
    I removed the battery and reset the CMOS. After 2-3 hours i reinserted the battery and now the status led blink once to red green red red ( ram failure). I had this ram failure problem for a long time but i used to fix it by a CMOS reset or a few movement of the rams and was fine for a couple of months until it resurfaces at random.
    I have tried 2 different rams and the same led status show. Also when i press the reset button, in 3 seconds the PC shutdown and restarts. Before yesterday pressing reset was just making the motherboard restart and the leds were blinking once again to show the status change but now no blink on the leds when i press reset.
