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 and GeForce 8800GT?

Hello,
I am interested in buying MSI P35 Neo2-FR motherboard, and also the latest GeForce 8800GT. But after doing some research I notice that many people have having problems installing their 8800GT card into motherboards with a PCI-E 1.0a slots, and the Neo2-FR has 1.0a slots! However there seem to be exceptions, some motherboards with 1.0a slots work with 8800GT!
This is all very confusing
Can anyone verify that MSI P35 Neo2-FR motherboard and GeForce 8800GT (With PCI-E 2.0!) works in the 1.0a slot??
Thank you.

According to many sources, both personal and documentary, PCI-e 2.0 cards will work in PCI-e 1.X slots(Wikipedia is not exactly what I would consider a super source). Here's a more official source, PCI-SIG.
http://www.pcisig.com/news_room/faqs/pcie2.0_faq/
Quote from: PCI-SIG
Q4: It sounds as if both speed grades are supported in the PCIe 2.0 specification?
A4: The PCIe Base 2.0 specification supports both 2.5GT/s and 5GT/s signaling rates, in order to retain backward compatibility with existing PCIe 1.0 and 1.1 systems. Aside from the faster bit rate, there are a number of improvements in this new specification that allow greater flexibility and reliability in designing PCIe links. For example, the interconnect can be dynamically managed for platform power and performance considerations through software controls. Another significant RAS feature is the inclusion of new controls to allow a PCIe link to continue to function even when some lanes become non-operational.
Q5: Then PCIe 2.0 must be backward compatible with PCIe 1.1 and 1.0?
A5: Yes. The PCIe Base 2.0 specification supports both the 2.5GT/s and 5GT/s signaling technologies. A device designed to the PCIe Base 2.0 specification may support 2.5GT/s, 5GT/s or both. However, a device designed to operate specifically at 5GT/s must also support 2.5GT/s signaling. The PCIe Base specification covers chip-to-chip topologies on the system board. For I/O extensibility across PCIe connectors, the Card Electromechanical (CEM) and ExpressModule™ specifications will also need to be updated, but this work will not impact mechanical compatibility of the slots, cards or modules. Currently, the PCI-SIG is defining the PCIe CEM 2.0 specification which has been released to members for review at v0.5. There are currently no plans to adapt the PCIe Mini CEM specification for the faster bit rate as the market need has not yet materialized.

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.
Here is the same problem on a Gigabyte GA-P35-DQ6:

Have MSI P35 Neo2-FR mobo, want 8GB RAM (4x2GB), anybody knows compatible ram?

I have MSI P35 Neo2-FR motherboard and want to buy 8GB ram, preferably 4x2GB(2x2GB + 2x2GB). Anybody has such a setup and can recomend some RAM?
I dont want to buy some random ram, because the motherboards are very picky when youn install the maximum supported ram.

Crucial tend to have quite compatible RAM across boards. On their site you can enter your motherboard model to find the RAM that is compatible. A gave it a run and the following is compatible:
Part #: CT2KIT25664AA667 • DDR2 PC2-5300 • CL=5 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-667 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64
Part #: CT2KIT25664AA800 • DDR2 PC2-6400 • CL=6 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-800 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64
Part #: CT2KIT25664AA1067 • DDR2 PC2-8500 • CL=7 • Unbuffered • NON-ECC • DDR2-1066 • 1.8V • 256Meg x 64

The above are all 4GB kits so obviously you'd need to buy two packs to get the 8GB.

You do need a 64-bit OS to access the full 4GB or 8GB so also bear that in mind.

MSI P35 Neo2-FR do i need JPWR1 Connected for 2 x ATI Radeon 3850 256mb cards ?

hello,
Ive recently Brought a MSI P35 Neo2-FR motherboard and been running in single Sapphire 3850 256mb so decided to install my second Sapphire 3850 256mb.
PSU Ive got is a Hyper Type M 580watt but at moment Ive used all connections 4 pin molex connections and 2 to power second sapphire 3850MB card waiting for reply from hyper about what connection i can put the extender on safely coming off 1 that's used.
Its running Stable at moment without the JPWR1 connected just wondering if its for high end cards like the 2900XT that use's a lot more power then the 3850 and 3870's
Scores I'm getting so far are with a Intel Core 2 duo E8200
Single card - 3DMark 2006 - 9436 3DMarks
Crossfire enabled - 3DMark 2006 - 12356 3DMarks
Are these scores about right too ?

Quote from: Del UK on 17-February-08, 04:42:47
Which PSU, do you use Kimpsu?
Would have a guess it's dual +12V rail......
Antec or Seasonic.......
My current PSU is an Antec NeoHE 550W (though I've had many others too, like Zalman, Seasonic and Enermax), so in theory it has three 12V rails, 18A each. Well, of course it cannot feed 18A on each rail simultaneously, but still considering that's the limit, the limit should not be a bottle-neck. Luckily they are devided logically enough, one rail for the directly attached cables (which is the motherboard really) and two for the five detachable cables. And the two rails are logically divided, so putting my PCI-e cables at both ends I get pretty decent amps for two GFX cards (one rail for each) and the motherboard. The rest (HDDs, optical drives) are then attached to cables connected next to those cables, so in fact HDDs are on one rail together with one GFX card, and optical drives (and my fan controller) is on another rail with the other GFX card. Thus I get pretty even distribution between rails (lucky me).
It was one of the nicest quiet PSUs at the time of purchase. If I were to buy a PSU now I would probably get a Corsair, probably HX520 or HX620, but they have multiple 12V rails... VX series is fine too, only that there are no detachable cables, so although it is an option, I really need to think if I wan't a PSU that only has fixed cables...
Having multiple rails suck a bit (although on most PSUs they are not really separate rails, but still current limited), but luckily single rail PSUs are coming back after a couple of years of "multi rail fashion".
And yeah, PSUs made by Seasonic are pretty popular these days, like the Antec NeoHE I have, Corsair HX series, VX450 and so on.
PS. Good guess, though guessing Antec or Seasonic covers pretty much of the PSUs out there that are of a "quality" brand, at least if Seasonic covers the PSUs made by Seasonic for other companies like Corsair. And I don't mean other suck, just judging by how large % of all quality PSUs are Antec. And yes, there are a few models from Antec that really suck and have high failure rates, and cannot be called quality (like the CWT manufactured Smartpowers and the older Truepowers, also by CWT). Judging by just the company that puts the stickers on the case is not always wise, especially with Antec...
PPS. Judging from your signature, you have an Enermax and a Corsair VX550 (which is manufactured by CWT I believe). How do you like your Corsair? Is it quiet? I've been considering it as an option to replace my Antec (I'd like to have a single 12V rail). Also the TX-series is an option.

cpu voltage,
vtt fsb voltage,
nb voltage,
sb I/O power,
sb core power,
Thanks for any help. I'm just worried that I use the wrong setting resulting in a mini nuclear explosion.

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

• Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2,40GHz "SLACR G0" + ASUS Silent Knight Copper
• nVidia XFX Geforce 8800GT 512MB GDDR3 + Zalman VF-1000
• MSI P35 Neo2-FR
• 4Gb 2x2Gb A-Data PC6400 800MHz DDR2
• 1Tb 2x500Gb Samsung Sata II
• Seasonic 700W M12 Modular
• Antec Sonata II
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 warranty

Hi
I have a MSI P35 Neo2-FR purchased in the UK, does anybody know the warranty length on this motherboard?
Thanks

Quote
I don't think so. If it's long in stock at the reseller's, then the end-user wouldn't have any waranty left.
Yes that is the default warranty set up, I believe if it is within 24 months purchased by the end user from the reseller MSI might make an adjustment on thie system and honnor it. In the UK the reseller is obligated for 12 months warranty and manufacturer warrnaty is a bonus. If it was purchased from a large reseller I would contact them first, if you have to send to MSI UK thier will be a delay while they get enought faulty product to send over to the repair centre in poland, larger resellers have direct RMA accounts and send faulty product straight to the poland repair centre.

MSI P35 Neo2-FR - Will this work??

Hi,
I am planning a new system, after my current one is a little dated. Here is an outline of what I am planning to build: -
CPU - Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz SLACR G0
M/B - MSI P35 Neo2-FR
RAM - Ballistix DDR2 PC2-8500 5-5-5-15 Unbuffered NON-ECC (4x 1GB)
G/C - INNO3D GeForce 7300GT 256MB DDR2 PCI-E
I am not needing it for gaming, but more for production work (Graphic design, Illustration and video editing).
I have a few questions if anyone can answer them for me?
Is the RAID facility on board a hardware RAID or software RAID. Since its provided by the Northbridge I am pressuming its software.
How many SATA ports can be used at any one time. For example, does using the 2x eSATA ports, reduce the amount of on board ports you can use? (Like some USB ports?).
If I wanted to use a SATA DVDRW connected to the southbridge SATA port, would I be able to boot from it?
I can see many people have had problems with installing Vista on this board, can anyone see any compatability issues with my proposed setup?
Many thanks!!!
Phil

Quote from: Hans Gruber on 28-November-07, 19:07:02
The only compatability issue would be with your 7300gt card. That's hardly enough power to run a game let alone graphics editing. You would be much better served with an 8800gt to perform video editing.
Hi Hans, the 7300 is the same card used in the Mac G5's used in my place of employment for graphic design / video editing. Although some have the 8800GT as well, this is the card used in the majority of the machines. I am sure it will be ok but you reassured one of my existing concerns. I can always upgrade this if it doesnt cut the grain!
Thankyou!!!

was already a bookmark in my browser as I have been researching it for a while now. Just wanted clarification on a few things hence my post.
Quote from: Maesus on 28-November-07, 19:33:33
1. It's ICH9 RAID. It's southbridge, not northbridge. It's hardware RAID.
ICH9 provides a RAID facility is software RAID using Intel Matrix Storage Manager. The CPU processes the parity for RAID 5.
Quote from: Maesus on 28-November-07, 19:33:33
2. you can max up the SATA ports. How many is on this board? 6 SATA ports? you can use them all.
There are 2x eSATA ports (I am pressuming from the ICH9), and 4x SATA on the ICH9, and 1x SATA on the 88SE6111. What I was trying to ask is do the 2x eSATA ports render 2 of the ICH9 ports unavailable?
Quote from: Maesus on 28-November-07, 19:33:33
2a. USB ports does NOT reduce the total amount of USB ports to use, where did you get that info or having that impression??
I worded this completely wrong. My bad..... I have had motherboards before where if you connect a usb back plane to the USB header on the main board, it simply stops you using some of the USB's on the rear panel. This is simply like a redirect to allow you to plug USB devices in to the front of your PC case instead of reaching around the back for it rather than allowing you to add additional ports. This is what I was trying to ask, If I am to use the 2x eSATA ports does that mean that it renders 2x of my onboard SATA ports obselete.
Quote from: Maesus on 28-November-07, 19:33:33
3. Yes
Thankyou
Quote from: Maesus on 28-November-07, 19:33:33
4. it's not really compatibility issue, but more of Vista's own issue, just that you need to do the right step to get Vista installed. Quad Core + 4GB, well, microsoft acknowledge the Vista installation issues with this config. You will need Vista 64-bit, but start installing with 1GB or 2GB. After completing installation, install microsoft quad core and 4GB patches, then only plug in the remaining 2GB.
Thankyou

MSI P35 Neo2-FR + 2x2GB RAM

1. I'm about to order that combo (MSI P35 Neo2-FR and 2x2GB TeamGroup Elite PC2-6400U CL5-5-5-15), but before I hit the Buy button I want to ask if the MSI motherboard has any known problems with 2GB sticks.
I intend to run the system @ 400MHz FSB so the memory can run at its rated speed 1:1.
2. What BIOS version is recommended here?
3. Does anyone know if the Asus Triton 75 heatsink fits in between all those motherboard heatsinks and heatpipes?

Quote from: AaronYuri on 06-December-07, 04:39:02
Well if 2GB sticks didn't work good with the board what would be the point of the bundle?
I dont understand that remark. Thats the point of this thread, will 4GB work good on the MSI P35?
The CPU will be an E6550.
As for 400MHz, I really hope that MSI didnt make another P965 Platinum here, which has a poor overclocking potential. 400MHz FSB is nothing for my Abit QuadGT and most other P965/P35 based motherboards.
I will be really pissed if the P35 Neo2 wont be able to reach 400MHz FSB.

I have try: Flash Bios to (1.8, 1.7, 1.2, 1.C, 1.A, 1.9), update all of my drivers including (lan, gpu, chipset), disconnect every usb includes keyboard (i tried with old ps2 keyboard), disconnect all pci cards, disconnect all RAM's (except one), i tried another Graphics Card (Gigabyte 8600GT), another PSU (Premier 400w), Bios Settings (ACHI/IDE, Recall GPU, PCI express x4, clear cmos), change DVI connector port on gpu, change to analogue RGB D-SUB, reinstall windows to ide disk/sata disk with S3 Enabled!
I tried to sleep from my Hackintosh 10.7 with the same error and with linux (openSuse) with the same error.
I have notice coz when i remove rams and i downclock the cpu and rams the leds are stop flashing in 2-3 secs (normaly tooks 10-40 secs)
Also the mb never wake with keyboard key press event!
Please experts, i need your help...

before a hour i test to reprogram bios with floppy disk! first i destroy my bios (i edited with ami tools to corrupt and the mobo start the recovery process, i put a floppy with the last bios renamed to AMIBOOT.ROM and the recovery worked! but sleep not)
i dont want to talk with msi for a too old mobo, so if anyone knows whats is happen please help.

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).

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.

Cas# latency 5.0 clocks
Ras# to Cas# delay 5 clocks
Ras# Precharge 5 clocks
Cycle Time 16 clocks
Why doesn't they go in 4-4-4-12 frequencys ???
Have tried to manually change dram timing in bios but no success
so i went back to auto dram timing.
What can i do to get the 4-4-4-12 timings.
Please help.
thanks in advance swefin

When i check the memory with CPU-Zv1.44 the memory only goes with the frequencys of
DRAM Frequenzy 399.5mhz
~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.
