MSI RD480 Neo2 - Missing RAM - PLEASE HELP!!

Hi,
I have just installed 4x1gig of Corsair Value RAM onto this motherboard BUT when I go into the BIOS it only sees 3 gig. I am not too sure what BIOS version I am using as I am running Windows XP 64bit and do noy know the best way to upgrade the BIOS to the latest version (and I don't even know if this will fix the problem).
Does anyone know how I can get it to see all 4 gig? - I have looked at the BIOS and there is nothing obvious.
Any help will be MUCH APPRECIATED!

No idea on the bios. Check the product page for your board at MSI's main site.
As for the memory Windows XP can only use 4GB total. However it sounds like some of the mamory is being used to configure some of the Bios goodies.
Things like Bios Shadowing, AGP/PCI card space configuration, PCIe Card space configuration, IDE Mapping and so on leave a hole in memory addresses that are contained within your 4GB memory space. That is why you can't use those addresses. There are workarounds on some systems however it slows ram way down. And note that not all MB's have Bios's that allow a correctiopn on this. I can't say whether your Bios has that or not as I don't use ATI based boards. Outside of memory remapping there is nothing you can do with a 32bit OS period. That is a definate limit.
As for XP64 you may want to look in the Operation System area on the forum and see what drivers there are. As I do not use ATI cards or boards again I can't answer that one.

MSI RD480 Neo2-FI

Hi, I have a MSI RD480 Neo2-FI, that presents/displays the following problem, when I connect a sata hard disk mother board does not recognize it because it does not appear in the sata list of devices, when I am going to install winxp I install driver that it brings in disket but when beginning the installation says that there is no device where to install win and it leaves to me the installation, if somebody can help me would thank for it , my english is not perfect, sorry...but they answer to me better in Spanish , thanks...

Likely that one of four things is wrong.
PSU does not have enough 12v amps... Should be 24 or more amps on the 12v rail for even a small A64 system.
Bad process to setup the drive or a bad driver.
Bad Drive
Bad MB
Those are pretty much in order of how they would be checked by a tech as well.
If you have a freind with a machine that uses SATA maybe you can test that drive as there is little you will do on your own to test it.

MSI RD480 Neo2 : HT Link Speed

I've just discovered the HT Link Speed limitation in the current 3.2 bios for the MSI RD480 Neo2 and was wondering if MSI is able/going to fix this issue? and add if possible the 2x,3x,4x,etc HTT links??
Previously this was not an issue since i had an AMD Athlon 3400 (with an AMD set 4x HTT multiplier), this created a HT link of 1,000Mhz when running my cpu/memory to 250 mhz. However with my newer X2 4200 which is factory set at 5x, I'm hitting the HT max mhz limit pretty quick..
For the moment i can set the HT Link from Auto to 200, however the limited bandwidth is really chocking the system.
Regards,

Thanks for the reply Bosskiller.
In the RD480 3.2 bios there are only two options for HT Links. Auto and 200... (it's interesting, the popup menu gives the feel that there was plans for more options.)
From my testing, "auto" seems to take the HT speed burned in by AMD. (800 HT (4x) or 1000 HT (5x))
I've dropped the cpu divider down to x8 on the x2 4200 (11x factory) and the memory divider to 166 speed (i've ran this pc4000 at 250mhz ddr with this exact mb, just with the single core 3400 (800 HT 4x) cpu. But just to take them out of this issue.
(auto)
215 = 1079.4
220 = 1104
225 = 1129
230 = 1153.8
235 = bios hard lock... (cmos reset)
(200)
235 = 235 (boots just fine, currently running prime on the cpu's.)

I can't open my books with the update, says failed to load book because the requested resources is missing. Please HELP.

If you can't open a particular ibook then try deleting it from the bookshelf via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf, and (assuming that it's still in your country's store) redownload it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app (or if you have a copy of it on your computer's iTunes library sync it back from there).

FLASH PLAYER MISSING PLUGIN PLEASE HELP!!

Since the Last Safari Update,I've been constantly getting a missing plugin message whenever FlashPlayer was required.
I have tried uninstaling/installing FlashPlayer from the adobe website. But still always asked to download the latest version.And later did disk permission repair/check, nothing worked. I even disabled som of the plugins i had read in the discussion that might cause some problems such as the java cocoa plugin, but flash player's plugin is still missing.
PLEASE HELP!

Latest version of Flash is 10.3.181.26
It installs in Macintosh HD/Library/Internet plug-ins and is available to all browsers.
Make sure you're getting the right one; there is one for Firefox, Safari and Opera and a seperate one for Chrome.
Best to install with all browsers closed (note - you have to open and authorise the installer - it doesn't install automatically on download).
If a browser's open, quit and reopen it to enable the plug-in.
Be wary of error messages claiming you don't have the right plug-in. Don't follow links from them, they're often used to redirect you to malware sites.
And ensure JavaScript is enabled when trying to view Flash; it won't work without it.

RD480-Neo2 FI RAM issues

Greetings,
I've come across a bit of a RAM problem and I'm hoping someone can help me with it. I've had an RD480-Neo2 FI motherboard with an Athlon 64 X2 3800+ CPU for about two years. Originally I had 2 1gb sticks of OCZ PC3200 DDR in slots 1 and 3. The box has been rock solid the whole time running XP x64. This week I purchased the exact same 2 stick matched set to upgrade to 4gb total. However, when I first installed the two new sticks in slots 2 and 4, I was getting nothing at all when turning on the PC. No beeps, no video, etc. After some fiddling I was able to get it to boot (still not sure what was wrong) but both BIOS and Windows XP only displayed 3gb total, and I was having some serious stability issues culminating in a BSOD. I ran Memtest and was seeing some pretty horrific failures.
So I took 3 sticks out and tested each stick one at a time in slot 1, all passed. Then I took 1 stick and tested it in the other 3 slots. In slot 2 and 4, I'm getting failures on the 7th and final test, "Moving inv, ones & zeroes, no cache." I assume these slots have just been bad since the mobo was new since I've never used it before, now I've learned something I need to test in the future when buying new mobos. Was this a valid test to perform? IE, is it possible to test these slots without RAM in slots 1 and 3? If not, is there some other way I can test this to make sure this is the problem? I don't expect that MSI can really do anything for me a year outside the warranty period, and I wasn't planning on spending money on a new mobo right now...

Hello!
I have not a ready and final answer to your question, but here is a good start to help you help yourself. Please read the FAQ:s about memory you find here:
http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodfaq&prod_no=219&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=&cat3_no=
A summary might be that nothing is wrong with your motherboard still, but that your combination of sticks winds up in a problematic situation.
PSU details, too, please. Two years is a long time, and wear and tear and dust is always something to look out for.

bhanja_trinanjan,
If you can get 2.3.3.6 Mushkin, OCZ, or Corsair, then you would be the set.
PC-3200 or higher would be the way to go. If you ever plan on overclocking, then PC-4000 is the best option.
Take Care,
Richard
Thanks for your help. I am trying to locate Corsair dealers in Kolkata(My hometown). Are there any known issues with the K8N Neo 2 FX? I bought this motherboard just a few days back and I am facing so many problems.
Does this motherboard undervolt the AGP and RAM slots? Will I have to increase AGP and DDR voltage to make my system stable? Doesn't the raising of these voltages shorten the life of the video card and ram modules? I want to buy Corsair/OCZ/Mushkin. But in case it's unavailable, will Kingston RAM lead to an unstable system?

New Radeon 5770 1GB and old MSI RD480 Neo2 motherboard incompatible?

Hi,
Am having problems getting my machine to post after inserting a new graphics card: Sapphire Radeon 5770 1Gb. Have no problems with my old card in the PCI-E slot (X800GTO) - it works fine. But when I insert the 5770, the machine won't even post.
The core of my machine is ~4 years old, with a MSI MS-7194 RD480 Neo2 motherboard. I've updated the PSU to a Corsair 650W and as the light on the graphics card is on and ATI recommend a 450W PSU I doubt it's a power issue (and yes, I have attached a PCI-E power lead to the 5770)...
Is the issue that my motherboard is too old? Or is there a newer BIOS for it? I tried the MSI LiveUpdate tool which said there wasn't.
So I'm a bit stumped! Am in the process of putting a new machine together, but can only buy 1 or 2 parts each month - I was hoping to make the most of the graphics card before I had to cough up for a new CPU/Mobo!
All help gratefully received - thanks!
PS
Here are my system details:
Mobo: MSI MS-7194 1A RD480 Neo2
Bios: 26/2/2006 version (from msinfo32)
CPU: Athlon 64 X2 3800+
RAM: Crucial, 4x512Mb
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1Gb VaporX (no drivers installed as machine won't even post!)
PSU: Corsair TX650W +3.3V: 24A, +5V: 30A, +12V: 50A. Max combined +3.3/+5: 170W.
HD: SATA1: WesternDigital 200GB, SATA2: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB.
DVD-RW Sony IDE0, DVD-ROM Sony IDE1
OS: Windows XP SP2

There has been an on going problem with that model # in general and that brand & model in particular not working on a wide variety of MB's. On some MB's that have 2 16x slots it will not work in slot 1 but will in slot 2.

K9A2 CF-F V2 won't run 1066mhz ocz ram please help

Ok I have searched this board for anyone having this trouble and cant seem to find it. Now I am thinking I bought the wrong board, so here is my problem. K9A2 CF-F V2 MB w/ Phenom Tri-core processor with 2 sticks of 1GB of OCZ 1066 ram = 2gb total on in each slot 3 and 4 but the slots are different colors but according to most that shouldnt make a difference, I have changed every setting in the bios that I can see but the fastest I can get the ram to run is 800mhz. some one please help. I saw where someone says to change the volt setting in bios for the mem. but I cant find where to change that, also saw something about 5-5-5-18 t2 so I did that but what about the rest of the settings they leave at auto but still no avail then I saw another post say to set them at 5-6-6-18 T2 still nothing wont boot with either of these configs, what in the heck am I doing wrong starting to think that the MB wont run OCZ mem. maybe different mem would work what you think? like I said 667 and 800 will work but 667 seems more stable. ok thats it for now by the way 580 watt power supply .

ok here is what it says
Cell menu:
current cpu clock = 2100mhz (no option to change here)
current ddr mem freq. = 800 mhz
D.O.T Control = Disabled (current) or private 1% up to Commander 15%

HT Ratio = Auto or 1x upto 13x
Adjust cpu FSB frequency = 200mhz or up to 600mhz max
Adjust Cpu Ratio = 10.5x or downto 4x
ADVANCE DRAM CONFIGURATION = PRESS ENTER
after pressing enter here is what I have set
Dram timing mode = Both (current) or Auto or dct0 or dct 1 or back to both
Cas latency(cL) = Auto (current) or 3clk upto 7clk DH only
TRCD = Auto (current) or 3clk upto 6clk or back to auto

Spread spectrum = Disabled (current) or Enabled
that is it any tips on what to change here please do tell the 800mhz setting is very stable, memory is in channels 1 and 2 closest to the cpu, ran memtest 2 passes all good no errors not sure what else to do hmmm, thanks ahead of time

Profile missing error, PLEASE HELP!

I have read and tried all of the different options within the forum and nothing is working! Its so frustrating! A while back i randomly had the first profile missing error and to fix it i simply reinstalled firefox, when that didnt work I went through and completely deleted anything that had firefox or mozilla in all my libraries figuring i could then just reinstall a complete fresh install. But i was way wrong and that definitely didnt help. Ive now tried all of the different methods on this site to fix the profile missing error and it isnt working, which i think is because when it says to go to ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles folder it is completely empty and there is not a profile to be found. So i am unable to start firefox at all so i cant make a new profile that way, or any other method at all! Please please help! Im running OSX yosemite 10.10.3, any help would be greatly appreciated!!

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-run-firefox-when-your-profile-missing-or-inacc
This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create a new default profile or reuse an existing profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile<br />Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile
