Neo 2 bios update

my neo 2 865 pe reboots when i surf the web may a bios update to version 1.9 fix it where can i get the 1.9 bios

Use LiveMonitor, or LiveUpdate, or download from MSI site.
It might fix it, but since you don't say what you have in your system and how you are connecting to the net, who knows?

  • [Athlon64] MSI K8T Neo FIS2R BIOS Update when? CnQ no workie!

    The MSI K8T Neo FIS2R (MS-6702) hasn't had a BIOS update since 3-4-2005!
    I put a Sempron 64 3000+ in my motherboard, and was very disappointed that it is recognized as an "AMD Unknown Processor".  Sure, it works, but one of the reasons I bought it is in the hopes of getting AMD Cool n Quiet to work.  However, apparently the AMD driver can't recognize the CPU due to the old BIOS on the motherboard.
    Every other MSI skt 754 board supports Sempron E6 revision already.  Why not the K8T Neo FIS2R?  Where have all the MSI BIOS programmers gone?  I have been waiting 2-months for a BIOS update to support the E6 Semprons.  I have asked and begged MSI Tech Support.  I am tempted to switch to ASUS or some other company that is actually timely with BIOS updates.  Only reason I haven't yet, is this board is everything I want EXCEPT for Cool n Quiet not working.  It's starting to look like there is no BIOS update in sight, so I am very disappointed.
    Anyone here work for MSI can confirm there are no plans for a BIOS update?  Because I don't want to wait around for something that's not going to happen.

    Sorry, I didn't mean to imply I thought the mods here are MSI staff... I was just kind of hoping there's MSI staff lurking here, seeing what people think of their products or seeing what people complain about.
    No, pretty much C 'n Q is the only reason I'm disappointed, but it was something I was really set on getting to work since this is a server that's up 24/7, but isn't utilized but maybe 4hrs out of a given day.  I could reduce frequency and voltage, but unlike C 'n Q, it won't automatically increase speed and voltage based on demand - which is something I want since although it's a server, I also use it as a regular PC as well.
    I've even tried the 2.33 beta BIOS with no change, and even found a 5.52 BIOS in their BIOS testing directory.  I guess that BIOS was for a different kind of 6702, although I had pulled out the peripheral modules with AMI's MMTOOL and they looked the same as the existing BIOS, but that BIOS killed my motherboard so it couldn't have been for a regular 6702.  I had to desolder the BIOS chip with a heat gun, reprogram the old BIOS back on it with an EPROM programmer, and solder in a socket.  I guess that shows my dedication to get C 'n Q working!

  • P965 Neo 7325 BIOS update issue

    Hello, I'm having a problem updating my bios. I recently upgraded to win 7 64bit home premium and installed 4gb of ram 2x2g corsair xms ddr2 along with the 2x512mb of corsair xms2 ddr2 memory that was already in the pc. My problem started that the bios doesnt recognize all 5gb it on shows 3.25gb. I've tried a few different approaches to the situation nothing has worked. this is how i have the memory seated in the dimm slots cpu> 2gb|512mb|2gb|512mb. I tried to clear cmos still nothing, unchecked the max memory setting in system config. I've tried just using the 4gb and still reads 3.25. So i downloaded the most recent BIOS update tried to update and i get the error saying its not compatible with the version in windows i'm using....Im at a loss and do not know what else to do..any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • BIOS update killed my MS-6728 Neo-2-S mainboard, please help..

    1. I successfully booted my system and installed dual boot to Win2k Server and WinXP Pro.
    2. In XP Pro, I installed basic drivers and updated the rest through Live Update 3.
    3. After installing MSI software I began experiencing lockups whenever I would try to restart (start, shutdown, restart) in XP Pro.
    4. I decide to update the BIOS. Original version was AMI 1.1.
    5. I update through live update 3 and it creates backup file AMIBIOS.ROM on a floppy diskette, no sweat I should be able to restore right?
    6. I download the 1.5x Beta BIOS and the newer update utility ADSFI708.EXE and place them on same floppy diskette as AMIBIOS.ROM (the backup BIOS).
    7. I restart computer and boot from Win98 SE boot disk.
    8. I insert the floppy with the 1.5x BIOS update and I execute the BIOS update. The update proceeds without incident. I wait an extra 30 seconds after its finished before restarting.
    9. I restart and the system BIOS screen comes up and claims there's a misconfiguration in BIOS. I hit F1 to go into setup and it has reset all the options I normally set (boot order, wether numlock is ON or OFF, etc). I set these very simple options and ONLY these options the way I like them. I have NOT tweaked voltage, timings, or anything of the nature. All settings except for simple ones like numlock on/off are set to autodetect or base settings.
    10. I exit out of BIOS and get a black screen.
    11. I restart the computer and get a black screen again. The fans on the mobo and the colored LEDs are on, but the system isn't booting.
    12. I figure no problem I've read about this and I have the AMIBIOS.ROM backup floppy handy with the 1.1 BIOS that Live Update 3 backed up for me.
    13. I shut off the computer and remove the memory. I short the CMOS clearing jumper. I turn on the computer. BIOS/CMOS should be cleared now yes?
    14. I put just 1 stick of GEIL 512mb PC3700 RAM back in and insert the recovery disk.
    15. I start computer and spam CTRL+HOME keys. Floppy drive starts to read. After a while it beeps 4 times.
    16 I remove BIOS recovery disk, put both sticks of RAM in, and restart computer.
    17. Black screen still.
    18. I repeat steps 13-17 several (8+) times. I go so far as to a) Remove video card b) try different slots for RAM and c) remove the CMOS battery, all in an effort to clear whatever the problem is.
    It's still not working. The PS powers up. The fans spin. The dancing colored LEDs on the mainboard fan go off. But no BIOS screen. No POST. No beeps.
    Can anyone point out anything I missed or is my board dead and I need to RMA it?
    System specifications:
    Mainboard: MSI NEO-2-S (MSI 6728)
    VGA: MSI Geforce 4 TI-4200 64mb
    RAM: GeiL 2x512 PC-3700 matched pair
    Power Supply: 300 W
    CPU: P4-2.4C
    No overclocking/overtiming/overvolting - stock settings
    Thanks in advance.
    Chris

    Ok, maybe someone can answer this question on clearing the CMOS.
    The wording in the manual was ambiguous. It sounded to me like they didn't want you to move the jumper from open to short or vice versa while the system was powered up. One should never unplug stuff while the system is powered up..
    On the other hand, they may have meant to NEVER power the system up with the jumper shorted. Which was what I did.
    Is it safe to use this procedure?
    1. Power down system.
    2. Remove Ram, Video card, CMOS battery
    3. Short jumper
    4. Turn system on, wait 30 sec
    5. Shut system off, unshort jumper and put ram, vga, and cmos battery back in.
    Or is this what they meant:
    1. Power down system.
    2. Remove Ram, Video, CMOS battery.
    3. Short jumper, wait x seconds
    4. Unshort jumper, put back in Ram, Video, battery
    5. Turn system on
    I used the first procedure.
    I'm worried the mobo may be fried now.

  • K8T NEO BIOS Update Problems

    Hello, I have a K8T NEo MS-6702 Ver 1.0 Mb and want to flah it. I have downloaded the BIOS Update ver 1.8. When reading how to flash it it says in large letters "DON'T FLASH FROM A FLOPPY DISK!!!!". Now my problem is that I have a NTFS file system so I am unable to run it from the C drive as instructed in the how to document. SO my question is why can I not run it from a floppy? Can I run it from a CD? How do I flash my BIOS with a NTFS file system?
    Thanks in advance

    You are welcome! ...Eh, the other utilities I would not install unless they are absolutely crucial. After a successful BIOS update it is recommended you clear CMOS. Power off and unplug power cable when clearing, as there can be n o  el. left for a successful clearing.

  • Bios updated and now K8N Neo won't boot? FIXED!

    Successfully restored from backup (after some hassles!), but thanks to everyone who helped.
    Having messed with the bios some more, I *think* I now know what the problem was.  And *blush*, I think it was my fault all along *blush*.
    I think I had one of the drives selected at the top in Hard Disk Boot sequence, instead of the SCSI - Raid Array.
    That would mean it was only reading half the MBR at boot time which would kindof explain the problems I was having.
    Still, we live and learn.  Thank God for backups!
    Cheers all
    Chippy
    I hope someone can please help me?
    I just upgraded my K8N Neo2 bios from 1.4b to Easybios 1.3c (or whatever its called).
    I took all the proper precautions and the bios update itself has worked just fine. My system is "working" OK.
    However, I can't boot. The system POSTs fine, detects the raid0 array just fine and then falls over with an MBR 1 error and an MBR 3 error.
    I booted from the XP install CD and loaded up recovery console, and I can log on to the array. The array and all data is fine.
    So it looks like its just the MBR record that is screwed. Is this because of some incompatibiliy between my old and new bios?
    And anyway, please does anyone know how to fix it? I suppose I can try to rebuild the MBR somehow, but I don't know how. And I really DO NOT want to risk losing all of the data on the array. Yes, I have a full back up, but I don't want to end up having to rely on it!
    Has anyone seen this problem before when doing a bios update? And any ideas how to fix it?
    (I guess I could flash back to 1.4b, but I really would like a later bios version to go with my new - as yet untested - Opty 146).
    Thanks

    Thanks for the tip, Doc.  But I have entered the bios settings from scratch.
    I can try it again, but why do you think that might work?  There really aren't two many sata and raid settings to make - all you have to do is enable the two channels (sata3 and sata3) and then enable them also in the raid menu.  That's it.  And the board "sees" the raid array just fine, its just it won't boot anymore.  I can read and write to the array no problem from Windows Recovery Console, so I conclude that the hardware is all working properly.  I think its an MBR incompatibility issue between the two bios versions... or maybe MBR corruption.
    I seem to remember some people having problems with this a year or so ago when upgrade this bios from 1.4 to 1.5.  Some people were having to do complete Windows reinstalls to fix it.  That was why I didn't update my bios sooner.
    But I asked around this time and it seemed those problems had been resolved.
    Seems I was mistaken!
    Any other thoughts / suggestions?
    Thanks

  • K8T Neo FIS2R and AMD DTR 3400+ compatability - Bios Update ?

    As title , trying to install AMD64 DTR 3400+ cpu on mobo with no luck.
    Currently running AMD64 3200+ on board with no problems. Install this cpu and no boot up can get as far a Bios set-up where i choose default optimal bios but then the system just hangs.
    Have never updated bios , so i assume i'm still using V.1 ( had this set-up for almost 2 years )
    Tried CMOS clearing , no luck.
    As last resort ( after reading tales of disaster ! ) I tried to flash Bios to V 1.9 ( as reccommended for old clawhammers ) but didn't work ;
    Created dos start up disk
    at a> prompt , followed instructions to the letter , but kept getting "invalid drive" error messages.
    So still using bios v.1
    Any Help ??
    Thanks,
                Mark

    Do you still have the old CPU? If so pop it in and run Live update and do a Bios Update. Do not let it do more than create the Flash disk and instyall the files on the flash disk. Shut down Live update at that point and take the 1.9 imge that you have and rename it to AMIBOOT.ROM and copy it onto the new floppy you made.
    Shut down and go into Bios. Turn off Boot Block Virus protection and set the 1st Boot device to Floppy. Pop in the new floppy you made and reboot. Follow the instruction that come up on the screen. turn off the machine after the flash is done.
    Go back into Bios and reset Optimal Defaults. Save and exit and then shut back down.
    You should be fine at this point to install that new CPU.

  • Audio doesn't work after a BIOS update + strange beeps during bootup

    Hi,
    I just bought a MSI motherboard,  915P Neo 2 platinum.
    1.
    Everytime I boot up the system, I hear a set of beeps...it sounds like 1 long, 2 short beeps...so I followed the instructions and re-seated the memory and it still does beeping.
    2.
    MY MAJOR PROBLEM RIGHT NOW IS
    I did a BIOS update using MSI LIVE UPDATE 3 and after that the sound doesn't work.  I check for "unknown PCI devices" under WinXP but there are none.  I re-installed the azalia driver again from the originial driver cdrom and still no luck.
    I hope someone can tell me what is happening here and help me to fix it
    thanks a lot in advance
    regards,
    Kittu

    Hi,
    Thanks for the quick reply.
    I also did some updates along with BIOS.
    I am listing them below.
    I installed the following updates which the "Live update 3" reported as applicated to my system
    MS-7028 v1.50
    Intel INF Update v6.2.1.1001
    VIA SATA&IDE RAID Drivers v5.1.2600.410
    After this, I noticed the sound was not working so I re-installed the azalia bus driver and still the sound didn't work.  So, I checked the bios and changed the value of the audio-mode from AC97 to Azalia.  Then, again re-installed the azalia driver but the sound still doesn't work.
    How do I re-install the CMedia audio driver ?
    How do I clear the CMOS ?
    thanks,
    Kittu

    K8T Neo-FSR BIOS didn't know sampron64

    Blue screens have nothing to do with the Bios update. Those are trypically symptopmatic of other issues like low amps on the 12v rail for the devices you use or memopry issues and that like. Start by testing memory with memtest86+ as it is one of the likelyest suspects. Also post how many amps are on the 12v rail base on the lable on the PSU.
    As for contacting MSI directly about when a Bios update is coming won'y get an answer but you are welcomed to contact them at support.msi.com.tw if you like.

    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

  • MSI K8N NEO-FSR BIOS Flash Corrupt

    So there was an updated BIOS for my motherboard version 1.8 while I had 1.7. I went ahead and updated and it went fine. But then I noticed that my CPU speed was dramatically reduced and the multiplier was set to 5.0 giving me a 1ghz CPU. While I thought maybe the CMOS needed to be cleared I went ahead and did that but to no avail I wasnt able to fix that problem. I went over to the MSI Live Update to check for a new BIOS update and it had said that I had 1.8 version while the current version is 1.7. Just a few days before it said 1.8 was the latest. Hmmm. So I went off to the MSI website to find version 1.7 and downloaded it. To my surprise version 1.8 was available on the MSI website. I used the WinFlash program to flash my BIOS. Before doing so I closed all open applications including anti-virus, browsers, chatting programs, and so forth. But the flash was going VERY slow and it stopped with unable to verify bios. This made me scared pooless. After I restarted to no surprise my computer started up with BIOS Checksum error and asked for a floppy. I didn't have a floppy drive connected at the time but the computer shut itself off automatically. So I went and connected and floppy and looked up online at the MSI website about how to recover the BIOS. I found it and for my AWARD bios i followed the procedure. But each time it detects the floppy drive and then the computer shuts itself off. Even if i have no disc inside the floppy drive it'll shut off. Is it supposed to do this? I am unable to reflash my BIOS because of this behavior. I don't know what the cause of this problem is now. Did maybe the recovery portion of the BIOS get corrupted too? Please help. Let me know if you need any more information. Thanks in advanced. My specs are below btw:
    MSI K8N NEO FSR
    AWARD REV. 1.8
    AMD ATHLON 3200+ 754
    PDP 2x512MB RAM
    NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra

    WD 160GB IDE, Seagate 200GB IDE
    Pioneer D-A07
    Windows XP SP2, Gentoo Linux, Ubuntu Linux

    Okay I tried taking unnecessary stuff out but it didn't help. I'm actually having the same problem this guy is having : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=86508.0
    Hmm looks like i might be in for a new motherboard or i can try the RMA process but I dont know how long that will take. Other than that...I dont know what to do. I could buy myself a new bios flash chip but they're damn expensive and I'd rather just buy a new motherboard. On another note I noticed that when I boot up the pc and i see that it detects the floppy I immediately pressed the reset button but it'll still shut down. So it's as if there is a timer somewhere. What the hell is up with this? It also seems MSI didn't release bad BIOS releases for my board only. Seems like people with other boards are having tons of problems with the latest BIOS releases.
