MSI P965 Neo-F V2 Random Rebooting problem - HELP!

Hi guys, first post by me
I've got a problem with my motherboard and have done for a couple of months and it still hasn't improved.
Current system specs:
Intel Celeron D 3.06GHz
Nvidia GeForce 8600GT
1GB Kingston DDR2 RAM (I have tried other sticks in it, all of which have rendered the same result)
1 x Seagate 80GB Hard Drive (Checked for bad sectors - returned 0 bad sectors)
1 x Hitachi 1TB Hard Drive (Also been checked for bad sectors - returned 0 bad sectors)
600W Power Supply (Also tried a brand new 650W power supply but no difference).
The system (being used as a server) seems to reboot randomly with no entry in any system logs. The system will boot fine after it and then reboot to a BSOD randomly:
Driver_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Stop: 0x000000D1 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).
All drivers have been updated
BIOS is up to date.
I've also tried clean installs of Windows Server 2008 and R2 but to no avail of the problem.
I have also checked all of the connections in the server and they all are seated properly.
I have also 'repasted' the CPU and GPU to see if it makes a difference - nope.
Seems weird that it used to be perfectly fine and run 24/7 without any problems and now this problem is occuring
Any ideas guys?

I've managed to get this out of it (I hope it helps - the process reading a dump file is really silly - all the downloads!)

MSI P965 Neo-F and a other problem!

Hi alls!
I have a problem with my MSI P965 Neo-F.In fact when i push the power button i have to wait 5-6 secondes for my pc turn on...
I have the same problem that Er.nest:https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=107722.0 (problem number 5)
My PSU is a Seasonic S12 II 500 W
My config is :
Core 2 Duo 6600 @ 2.40Ghz
2 Gb RAM DDR 667 Mhz Corsair(5-5-5-15 @1.85V)
ATI HD 2900 XT 512 Mb
HD Seagate 320 Gb
Thanks...

ok v1.10 .. so we have same version now.. (maybe it will help us to find somthing helpful)
So (i dont know if you know somthing about..let me to refresh about S3).. S3 is one of two most used sleep modes. S3 (STR) - Save to RAM. It save whole your session to RAM, clear the CPU registrers and turn of all devices in computer one by one... only matherboard is powered by minumal voltage of 5V. This is used to refreshing o RAM and keep content "inside". In this state is consuption of computer avg. 4-6W (...PSU). Ok, my problem is ...
When i want to wake my computer up (a do it by pushin power button) ... somthing (and i dont know which part of my machine).. cause frozen of whole machine. Sometimes i get Windows Vista login window (loggin button fully response to mouse move over), if i want to login windows fall into BSOD or all freeze... somtimes i get only black screen.
So .. it seems to be little bit different problem but we both have problems with some kind of turning on...please, try to describe more about your problem. Espesialy informations about other behavior...
for example ... if you using hybernation (possibly S3), if you turning your computer normal by windows option "turn off", if your problems dissapear when you discharge mobo from static charge (disconect power cord, and push power button), if you have other problem with restarts...
i have same problem like you before i come to v1.9 and higher ... so, maybe its only in some setting i made insensible

MSI K8N Neo Platinum with Vapochill Case problems - Help anyone. :)

Hi all,
Had a bit of a tricky problem and as Im new to this board I have no idea what could be causing this.
First all all system specs:
Athlon 64 3700+ Clawhammer
MSI K8N Neo Platinum -
1 gig Corsair XMS ProL Low Latency Ram (2 x 512mb)
Nvidia Gefore 6600GT
1 x WD Raptor 10000rpm HD
NEC 2500a DVD writer.
Eye-T 550w PSU.
Vapochill SE Case with installed Vapochill Phase change cooling.
Here are photos of it in its present state, you will notice that it isnt installed in the case at the moment.
The reason for that is because the two wont work together and I want them to so so bad...
So, hopefully someone here can save the day for me - here goes.
I have tested the Motherboard and all other componants outside of the case and everything runs smoothly and there are no problems what so ever, great.
I have also retested the Vapochill case with another motherboard and that also works without a hitch.
The problem comes when I insall the MSI board into the system, all hooked with a really basic setup, PSU, Case cooling, CPU and Ram. Flick the on switch on the power suply and the system turns on for around 1/2 a second then turns off again. I found this strange because it soundnt come on at all until I press the power button.
If I press the power button the same thing will happen over and over.
I have tried a different powersupply and this does nothing at all.
I have checked for shorts and there is no possible way it is shorting on anything.
I have a fan plugged in where the CPU fan would go and this doesnt help.
I have taken it back out and tested it again and it still works ok.
Does this sound familiar to anyone? Are there any secret Bio's menu's that would have an option that would solve this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Glenn

When you are running the MoBo standalone, what are you connecting to the Power, Reset, HDD, etc. pins ? Are you using the wires from the Vapochill case, or something else ? It looks like a single cable with an intermittent switch (red/white cable). I once had a similar sort of problem and it was because I hadn't connected up (the incredibly fiddly) cables correctly. Other than that, I would have gone for a short of some sort - but you have checked that already, so . . . .
As to the system starting to power-up when you switch on the PSU, I wouldn't worry too much about this. It seems to happen from time to time with some of my systems - amongst other things, the BIOS can be set to resume to previous state after a power-fail.

MSI P965 Neo-F reboot problems

Hi,
I have a MSI P965 Neo-F motherboard in my PC, everything works great except for one thing, rebooting.
When i reboot or reset, it shuts down the operating system/BIOS, after that the PC stays on but my screen stays black.
Does anyone know a solution?
Thank you,
ghostrider090
full specs:
Core 2 Duo E6600 (overclocked to 3GHz)
MSI P965 Neo-F

Club3D Geforce 7950GT 512MB
Huntkey 450W (modded with coolermaster fan)
Samsung SH-S182D
2x Western Digital Caviar SE 250GB 8MB

I dont know solution ...
i see the problem in mobo or revision of P965 itself ... there is many problems with restarts, reboots, first boot. It depend on version of BIOS you have, but i not found any version which solve this for me ...
i using v1.9 now ... and i have problem with boot after hybernation with vista..
after turning my computer off (in vista is normal to hybernate and shut down) i can boot my computer .. by its very strange. So, power comes up, but then instantly comes Windows Vista with logon screen - NO posting by BIOS, no RAID initial screen, no scaning for hardware... it comes instantly to windows - but windows are in some inconsistent state and i cant login (freeze/BSOD ... but pointer can be moved by mouse and login button shows efect if i move pointer over - so windows are in memory and working) ... in this state is HDD led all time ON (shining) ... i can shut down and boot up again and everything is OK (windows are normaly restored from disk)
with older v1.5 BIOS ... my computer goes to same state like is described here - BLANK ... and BIOS setting was reseted
so and here is one similiar problem

MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) problem booting from USB flash drive

Hi, all!
I was wondering if someone can help me. I am trying to install Windows 7 x64 on my 320GB HDD that is connected to my MSI P965 Neo-F (MS-7235) mobo (The CPU is a Core2Duo 6600 with 6GB of RAM). I created a bootable USB 8GB flash drive using Microsoft's "Windows 7 DVD USB Download Tool" and bootsect.exe (Needed to create a boot sector on the USB drive) from the MS store. I successfully tested the resulting bootable USB drive using freeware MobaLiveCD (Sorry, you'll have to Google "mobalivecd" since this forum doesn't seem to allow external links) running under Windows XP SP3 x86 (32bit). Under MobaLive's QEMU, Windows 7 setup loaded its files and produced an error message basically saying that it could not install Windows 7 x64 under an x86 OS (No surprise there since QEMU is emulating a 32bit processor - The point is that the bootable USB drive I created works).
I then went into my mobo's CMOS and under Advanced BIOS Features -> Boot Sequence -> 1st Boot Device, set the value to "USB-HDD" and rebooted my machine. The USB drive probably was not detected by the mobo under that setting because it proceeded to boot from my HDD which is the 2nd Boot Device. I repeated the same process using each one of the four USB ports in the rear of the mobo (I don't have the optional USB panel that the MSI users manual mentions) to no avail. I also tried setting the 1st Boot Device to "USB-FDD" and repeated the process for each USB port but the mobo still will not boot from the USB drive (It does not recognize it). When I set the 1st Boot Device to "USB-ZIP" and rebooted, the mobo hangs after "Verifying DMI Pool Data ..." which is no surprise since I am not using a USB ZIP drive but a USB flash drive. It appears that under that setting, it recognizes that there is a USB device attached but it is expecting a response (From a USB ZIP drive). I had no idea it would be this frustrating to boot from a USB flash drive! If anyone knows how to make this mobo boot from a USB flash drive, please let me know. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The P965 Neo motherboard is 8 years old, so don't expect miracles. .... You need to format the USB stick in the proper way. You may use this utility to do it: hxxp://www.prime-expert.com/flashboot/ Also, it's a good idea to use the first (USB0) connector (controlled by Intel ICH8) for the USB flash drive. Good luck.
Thank You for your fast response, RemusM!
I'm not looking for a miracle. I'm just looking for a mobo that does what it is supposed to do: Allow me to boot from a USB flash drive (I don't think that is too much to ask for even from a board that was made in 2006)!
Thanks for recommending FlashBoot. I see under their "Why FlashBoot" section that it "... does not shift to user the burden of choice between "USB-ZIP" and "USB-HDD" at format time and proper BIOS setup at boot time. ... and every USB disk is formatted in such way that it will work in every environment properly, regardless of current BIOS setting.", so I will give it a try and let you know about the results afterwards.

MSI P965 Neo PCI-e lock?

Hi!
could any of you tell me whether or not the MSI P965 Neo-F board has an option to lock the PCI-e clock?
My plan is to tweak the FSB to 333 (which implicates a 333/266 = 25% overclock), which I've read is more then easy to obtain with a Core 2 Duo 6300. I just don't wanna ruin the rest of the system by getting a PCI-e busspeed of 125.
So I'm really curious if this board has either a build-in lock @ 100/101, or some option in the BIOS to lock the bus.
Thanks!

well you could just try raising your fsb to 333Mhz and see what happens. done it with mine no problems at all no other tweeking either. lots n lots of people have done the same without a problem.
check out the overclocking and modding forum here, n see for yourself.

MSI P965 Neo board failure ?

I have the P965 Neo board running perfect for two years, for a few weeks ago the system didn't startup, a long beep sound came from the MB. I opened the case, checked connectors etc. and replaced the memory modules. After that the system runs ok, no problem occurs for almost three weeks.
For a few days ago, out of the blue, the system didn't startup: error message: "WARNING Have option ROM can not be invoke (Vendor ID: 10Ech, Device ID:8167h)"
I reset the system and it passes the POST, the WINDOWS XP splash screen shows up but after a few seconds the blue progress bar stops.
I reset the system again and now the WINDOWS XP splash screen stays fade out, no progress bar
I reset the system several times, after a few times the system normally boots up and is ok.
I tested the HD with Speedfan Smart utility and it is found ok. Also no virus etc is found. I checked the device manager, no driver problems.
Yesterday the system had the same problems (XP boot blue progress bar stops, sometimes the progress is very slow) but after a few restarts the system boots normal and is ok.
Tonight, after I had opened the case to measure the voltages, I startup the system but no problem occurs. The 12V and 5V are ok
I think I have a hardware problem but I'm doubt what hardware (MB,RAM,PSU,processor) causing this kind of problems.
Can you help me ?
thanks,
Herman

Clear CMOS and try booting the system again.
Was the system like this from Day 1 or this only happens after something has been done?
Thks NovJoe ....
The system had run without any problem for more than 2 years.
I presume I have a connection problem on the MOBO or other hardware. If I place the PC case in the cabinet under my desk, the problem occurs. If I have the PC on the floor there is not any problem. It also happens only when the PC is cold.
I asked my hardware supplier, he suggested to test the hardware with a special self booting hardware test CD. It will cost 40 euro. I searched for such a CD on internet but didn't find one special for MSI boards. Do you know where I can get such a CD ?

MSI P965 Neo-F + DDRII 800 TwinX (2x512mb) issue

Hi, ive recently built a new system a couple of days ago and im having a few issues with it... i 'presume' it may have something to do with ram/mobo compatability.
Heres my system, no oc'ing:
MSI P965 Neo-F
1Gb (2X512Mb) Corsair TwinX DDR2 PC6400 (800) @ 5-5-5-18 1.85V (mobo default)
480W power supply
The issue seems to be that during boot up the system loads into windows XP then after about 20-30 secs the system will reboot itself for no reason (no event log), then it kinda has a set of mini reboot fits during POST.
After the system has settled down it will boot into windows XP fine and i have no further issues at all... it runs all my games/apps perfectly.
Can anyone shed any more light on this issue ?

first, stop the board from auto-rebooting, by going to Control Panel , System Properties, Advanced, Startup and Recovery, uncheck "Automatically restart". See what the bluescreen error code is. That would help a bit.

Hi,
yes i do get the green message about the dvd in green color after the memory check(MSI logo)
somthing like ODD0 DVD RW
I will try the second option you recommended,thx alot.
Hello, welcome to forum. if you are planing to update BIOS:
get P965 Neo BIOS ver. 1.6 CD Image (have modded boot record and integrate JMB361 Dos drivers.)
How do i flash it?
Extract image file from archive, and burn it to CD.(example: open it with nero burning rom and burn image file to CD)
Make and ensure PC is stable, then reboot PC and boot from CD. you will need to confirm twice BIOS update when asked.
after BIOS update is complete successfully, power down your PC, remove power cord from the PSU, hit few time power button to drain electrify from capacitors, touch some metal with hands to discharge any ES which you may have, then open the case and Clear CMOS then pull back power cord, and turn on your PC, will be notice CMOS CHEKSUM MISMATCH/ERROR, hit F1 to continue to rebuild DMI Pool Data, then reboot your PC, and enter in BIOS and LOAD BIOS DEFAULT, SAVE AND EXIT, go back to BIOS and apply your customs settings.
if you want to use USB key to flash BIOS, copy AWFL865.EXE & W7235IMS.160 to USB drive, reboot PC and boot from bootable location, (hold "SHIFT" key when starting loading from bootable device to bypass startup files to avoid loading memory managers and other applications) navigate to folder which containt flash program and BIOS file and type from there:
AWFL865.EXE W7235IMS.160 /cks/sn/py/cc/cd/cp/wb/ld/qi/f/e

Best Ram for MSI P965 Neo-F

Hi
I've a MSI P965 Neo-F and i want to know what is the best DDR 2 Memory for this motherboard(G-Skill,Crucial or OCZ?).
Actually i' ve Corsair DDR 2 667 Mhz Value Select.
Thanks^^

Quote from: stixen on 31-January-08, 22:12:39
Actually Corsair does'nt work good with my PC(no boot sometimes) so i don't want Corsair...
I'm not saying buy Corsair, I am telling you to buy WINTEC AMPO 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM 800. I have read all the horror stories about different ram and the Neo f. I installed 2gb [2x 1 gb] when i made the computer a couple years ago and just added the same thing 1 week ago and never a single problem. It still only reads as 3.25gb but that has been explained. Fast and stable memory with this board is hard to find, so trust me and buy this ram . it worked perfect for me so I don't see why it wouldn't work for you.

Thank u in advance!

Weird thing with the 1.5 BIOS, really: No matter what the speeds are set to, the last memory timing (forgot its name) is always set like this:
BIOS setting (by me) - actual setting (in Windows read out by software)
4-4-4-12 - 4-4-4-20
5-5-5-15 - 5-5-5-23
4-4-4-4 - 4-4-4-12
etc...
What is going on here? I set the memory to 4-4-4-4 now @ 375MHz (750), because those are its rated specs. And it runs in Windows as 4-4-4-12 @ 750MHz.
The system now runs @ these speeds:
E6300 @ 300MHz (2.1GHz)
FSB @ 301MHz
RAM divider: 667MHz
Effective RAM Speed: 750MHz
Tmings: 4-4-4-12
Really, what a weird problem. But since there are no other problems with 1.5 (that I came across so far), I'll keep it. My sister is loving her new PC, and if the mobo doesnt brake within the next 5 years, everything is perfect.

P965 Neo-F and GeForce 7900GS problem

Hey there,
I have been suffering a lot from my own-built computer, whose configuraions are:
MSI P965 Neo-F bios 1.60
C2D E6300 1.86G intel
MSI Geforce 7900GS 256M Video Card
2x1G Kingston DDR2 667
Antec 400W PSU
WD 250G SATA II Hardrive
1. In windows XP pro, ALL 3D games share the same problem. display flickers, kindda distortion of the 3D model, 2-D Text in the game shakes, unstable, but game could be going on without freaking out.
2. In Windows Vista Ultimate, Screen goes black and then a message out " Display driver stopped responding and has been recovered", happens very often. and 3D gaming in Vista is totally a nightmare, screen freezed and computer stopped responding almost every time once I runs 3D games.
Somebody told me it is overheated of my system, so I added two fans. The temperatures of CPU and GPU are normally around 30C and 50C which should be fine, I guess. However, problems still kicking my ass.
Is my PSU 400W Antec powerful enough? the minimum requirement of Video Card is 400W.
Would you guys please help me?? I was driven crazy by this unstable issues.

thanks for all your guys' replies.
So far, I have tested 3 Video cards and same problem, so it is not the video card.
I changed 2 PSUs, same problem.
I have tried to cool down the system by all means, and I believe it is not overheated.
I tested two RAM sticks individually, and found that if I used only one of them, no problem.
Therefore, I would say, one memory stick is defective and is repsonsible for the unstablity.

MSI P965 Neo-F Sata Ports Enhanced Mode

Hi,
I have the MSI P965 Neo-F board, and need to setup the sata ports to AHCI or enhanced mode, but don't see this options as in previous MSI boards.
Some boards from anther's builders using the same chipset (ICH8) have these options.
Any Idea how to set this options ? any beta bios ?
Thanks !!!
demian

Quote from: Arup on 16-October-06, 09:54:51
ICH8 has no RAID so P965 Neo only does RAID through the 3rd party JMicron controler.
Same problem here. It is not just about RAID but AHCI, for NCQ, but more importantly for ESATA hotplug.
2 years later still no BIOS it seems (I have most recent 1.11). MSI still advertises with "enhanced AHCI" for this board even, (see bullet list under Intel® ICH8 Chipset):
