Msi k8n neo platinum ps2 keyboard problem

Hi. I'm having issues with my msi k8n neo platinum motherboard. I've read about 50 posts on these forums regarding the supposed ps2 keyboard issues with recent msi boards. However none of them seems to address my current situation.
Like many others, when I power up my system the cpu fan spins for like 3 seconds then everything comes to a halt.
I tried many things to get my system to boot and the only thing that works is plugging my ps2 keyboard into the ps2 mouse port and moving the ps2 mouse into a usb port with an adapter.
It seems there's no hope for fixing the problem other than RMA'ing, but I thought I would add to the pile of complaints stacking up against the MSI boards.

if u had read the threads a little more u might have found a solution that seems to have worked 4 many - a usb keyboard usb Keyboard if u go this route dont forget to enable usb kb in bios
Edit: This Thread Summarises the situation PS2 keyboard/mouse causes random shutdowns or doesnt work

K8N Neo Platinum: Floppy drive problem

Hi,
I can not get the motherboard to detect the floppy drive. As soon as I turn on the computer, the LED light on the floppy drive is on. I made sure that "1.44M, 3.5in" is selected in "Standard CMOS Features." I made sure floppy is NOT selected as a boot device. Also, made sure "Seek Floppy" is disabled. I tried using the supplied rounded floppy cable and used my old cable. I swapped the connection of the cable also. I also checked the connector pins to make sure they are not bent. Nother seems to work. The floppy is simply not detected.
Please help!!!
My system configuration is:
MSI K8N Neo Platinum, BIOS: 1.3
LSI Logic Ultra 320 SCSI controller
eVGA 6800 GT
A64 3200+
512MB Samsung memory
SoundBlaster Live!
Plextor CDRW (don't remember the model number)
Toshiba DVD-ROM (dont' remember the model number)
Fujitsure 15K RPM SCSI HDD
Antec True380 power supply
Thanks.
Henry

You did say you'd swapped the cable, right? Have you tried turning the connector upside down at the floppy drive end?
I had a problem with the floppy light being on all the time and the drive not being detected. It turned out the connector in the back of the floppy drive was upside down! I was sure I had it the right way up the first time so it's easily done!

K8N Neo platinum + RADEON 9500PRO problems

Hi I got my AMD64 system up and running friday, but I got some major problems with the stability! The computer randomly "freezes to death", everything freezes, no bsod, only option is the sweet restart button :( This especially happens after I have quited games or 3dmark (which is really wierd). It is very unstable, often freezes right after boot in windows. I have now tested the system for an hour with a TNT2 card with no freezes. Could my problem be a hardware conflict? My voltages is normal (12v 3,3v and 5v are reportet ok by MBM5, with 12.10v on the 12v rail, btw mbm5 reported the same voltages with 9500pro installed).
The 9500PRO card worked fine on my old abit kt7a via 133a chipset and t-bird 1,4ghz.
Edit: I have all the newest drivers for all my HW + newst bios reported by msi live update (1.40)
HW:
MSI K8N NEO Platinum
AMD64 3000+
Radeon 9500PRO (now testing TNT2)
2 IDE disks and 1 s-ata disk
dvd-rw
4 case fan with coolermaster aerogate 2

dont worry about your memory- it'll prob be ok if memtest doesnt fire any errors. - its probably your PSU
For a start disconnect any extra fans you got running on your system
then boot and test it - if that works - the problem is your PSU - usually the main problem for the Athlon 64 boards - oh and any other crap like front function panels etc. etc.
If it is the PSU i'd recommend getting a Overclockers one - they rock - dont get the one I've got - it only JUST cuts it - i used to get the same probs as you until I disconnected all my internal fans - no probs now.
If its not the PSU - dunno mate - solly!
It probably is the PSU as you dont know your PSU loads - you need a minimum of around 20AMPS on the 12Volt rail.

Create a new system problem???

Hi
I'm working with SAP 2007 and the B1i that comes with it.
I have created a new system in the console under landscape. Then I go to it to edit the details. When I save what I have edited it does nothing and gives an error at the bottom left. It shows the yellow triangle and says error next to it.
What is wrong?? How do I resolve this???

Hi Louis,
What does that error says? I think I had a similar problem... and after reading some javascript in the page came up that I forgot to install MSXML 4.0. After that it worked.
HTH,
Ian
PS. The message was an automatation error or something like that, when making an instance of a XML.

MSI K8N NEO PLATINUM (RAM/HD problem/mobo problem?) [SOLVED]

my setup:
windows xp pro sp2
amd athlon 64 3200+
msi k8n neo plat - 7030 - bios 2.1
x800 xt vid
sound blaster audigy 2
kingston valueram pc3200 2x512 cas 3-3-3-8
ps = antec 430 watt truepower power supply (20 A on 12V)
I dont know if you guys remember my but i created a topic on here a while back about how my keyboard and mouse suddenly stopped working, well that turned out to be that the msi k8n neo platinum just went bad. So i RMA'd it and recently got the replacement board (with latest bios already installed). It worked completely fine for about a day. Well that same day i got it back, i installed a Logitech G7 USB wireless mouse. after i installed it, i began getting numerous windows stop blue screen errrors, even after i removed the mouse from control panel. So i figured i should format because to rule out everything and start fresh. So i did a FULL format and attempted the reinstall windows again. AFTER the format and BEFORE windows attempted the continue installation, i got the same stop error. I figured now this was a hardware problem. So first i tested RAM. I got the latest version of memtest86 and let it run for 4 hours (11 passes) with NO errors at all. Secondly, i got a western digital hard drive diagnostic program to test for failing hard drive and again no problems with that. I still suspected ram so i tried to boot with only 1 stick installed (in first slot), however the PC didnt boot at all (cleared cmos too). So i moved it to the second slot and cleared cmos again and this time it posted but it just hangs at a cursor and does nothing, same thing happened with third slot. I tried this same procedure clearning cmos each time with the second ram stick and got the SAME results. Shouldnt the motherboard boot with only 1 ram stick installed? Did MSI RMA me another bad board? Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Can you give us what the D-Bracket was showing ie
R R
G R
As an example this means "Initializing Keyboard Controller"
You will find this information in the manual page 2-23. (On mine) under Hardware Setup
Also can you please do all your tests with the ps2 keyboard and mouse and for now leave your Logitech G7 USB wireless mouse to one side.
Russell
for two sticks of ram = RR
GG
for one stick of ram = GR

as for the g7, it hasnt been plugged in at all, i took it out long ago.. as for the ram, the timing was set to 2T, no overclocking, i will try 2.7 v and let you know, but for the record, it has been running at normal voltage settings for about a year perfectly fine.

K8N Neo Platinum - unusual sound problem

Hi all,
I am running a K8N Neo Platinum based PC with specs as follows:
1024 Mb RAM
200 Gb HDD
256Mb GeForce4 Video
16x DVD/CD-RW
I'm trying to use the onboard sound, at this point with just 2 speakers, and until today I thought the sound wasn't working at all. But after going into Windows Media Player I found that I can play music and get sound as per normal - I just get no sound from anything else! The driver is the Realtek AC'97 version 5.10.0.5830 from the MSI site. Does anyone know why this could be happening?

1. Yes, my sound card is set as the default under all categories, and I have checked the 'use default devices only' box just to make sure.
2. I know there have been two other topics covering similar problems, but one of these could get no sound at all, and the other only didn't get sound when trying to play DVD's - that one's got nothing to do with this problem, I'd be interested to know if the other is similar, but either way neither of them have been solved!

K9N SLI Platinum operating system problems

I have a MSI K9N SLI plat MB, an AMD 64 x2 4200 cpu, a EVGA nvidia 7600GS video card and 2gb mem.
My problem is that I am unable to get windows XP, XP64, or Vista to run on my IDE hard drive.
I am running XP from an SATA HD and it works OK. I have a CD/DVD and IDE HD on the IDE controller.
Updated BIOS to 1.3, no help.

==============================
Trouble here too
My system bit similer to your one:
MSI K9N SLI Platinum
AMD Athlon64 X2 4200
2x 1Gb Kingsten DDR2 Dual Channel
2x 256Mb nvidia 7600GS on SLI
1x 160Gb SATA HDD
1x 250G SATA HDD
1xDVD Rom
1xDVD-RW
750W Thermaltake Toughpower PSU
The problem what I'm getting is when I'm try to burn a DVD or CD... my PC shuts like you unplugged your power (not restarting)
first I thought something wrong with my DVD burner then I tried with a new one(had ASUS one now having LITE-on).. but still happening.. I have update the BIOS v1.3 as well..but didn't do any changes.. My DVD-RW connected to IDE controller.. that's only thing controlled by IDE.. don know how to fix this... I'm sure it can't be the PSU.. I changed my PSU 500W to 750W because of this matter.. I guess something wrong with the IDE controller.. only MSI can fix this... I'm waiting for a reply from them... :(

New system, problems in process chain

Hi,
Recently we made a copy from Prod system to new one. The copy was successfully and the connection with the R/3 system too. But when I try to execute a process chain, I receive the following message: Job BI_PROCESS_CHAIN could not be scheduled. Termination with returncode 8
and the system log shows:
BP_STEPLIST_EDITOR: Invalid step values (step 1 ) found. Reason
> User RFCUSER cannot be scheduled due to its type
BP_JOB_EDITOR: Job BI_PROCESS_CHAIN is invalid. Reason:
> Step 1 contains illegal values
As I see, the problem is with RFCUSER (communications user) but I don't know what can be?
I will appreciate your help
regards,
victoria

K8N Neo Platinum (MS7030) LAN Problems ?

Hi guys,
After some period of stable use of the motherboard I ended up with a new problem. All of a sudden, my Local Area Network {Connection} (which I have never used since I bought the motherboard), disappeared. I tried to reinstall all the drivers but I didn't find any solution. Anyone has any idea?
As you might suspect I payed attention to this "side-effect" (as I had characterized it initially) of loss of icon both in tray and Network Connections (inside Control Panel) now that I have to use it. While googling around for the problem I found another person stating that people in this forum had similar problems in the past. Unfortunatelly I couldn't find anything when using advanced search in MSI forum. Does anybody know something?
All help will be deeply appreciated.
Thank you in advance,
Dimis

You were absolutely right about your thoughts guys. Seems, that when I was experimenting with my newly bought system I changed that parameter of MAC to DISABLED. Hence the problems occurred.
P.S.: I must update the above post (experiments) since I have many things to say about AMD processors regarding their performance and justify their superiority (according to my opinion) against Intel processors. All in all, now that most conflicts are resolved with my mobo (or I simply know that some of them can't be resolved e.g. Keyboard power while computer is turned off), I must say that it is a good motherboard regarding performance.
Thank you both again,
Dimis

K8n Neo platinum! harddisk problems w/ windows xp

my storage as follows
74GB raptor
2X300GB sata seagate
1X160GB sata
3X200GB IDE
and 1 combo drive
total 1434GB (1.4tb) (there is no raid i`m just using like normal)!
the problem began when i upgraded to another 300GB yesterday ! i get an error from windows xp (on the system tray) that i/o error unable to write some .tmp file etc!
however i tried diff sata ports (also plugged off my all my ide devices) ! still i would get the same problem! sometimes on the 300gb as well. i`m not sure weather ishould reinstall windows ? btw i`m using the 5.03 drivers from the liveupdate!
can any one please tell me what to do ! i dont want to disturb all the data !! :( ! so i plugged off my 300gb for now ! everything is working fine !

Well, I dont know if this helps at all but, I have been having windows lock up on me ever since my 2x 250GB maxtors in RAID 0 configuration for a total of 500GB was my boot drive. I had an average of 3 minutes in windows, and then COMPLETE lockup. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with NCQ with the new maxtors, but I'm back to using "1" raptor as my boot drive, and my 500GB's of maxtor RAID 0 config as my gaming HDD's, and KNOCK ON WOOD, nothing has locked up YET! I wish i knew why I can't use my super fast raid 0 config for my boot drive, but I rather be stable, then having to cross my fiingers, and hope my PC doesn't lock up.

NEO Platinum wireless keyboard problem

I see this popping up but haven't found a solution yet: I have a logitech wireless KB/mouse combo and it works off the USB but not PS2 port. I just bouth an Antec True 480 thinking it was a power issue but no go.
I've tried all the problem solving - they work on another computer, corded KB/mouse work on PS2 port, updated DIOS, etc.
What do I do? I just spent extra for a PSU, should I try another KB or is the problem on the MB like I suspect.
I do graphics work and use a USB tablet which I haven't tried yet, will this be a conflict, is there any drawback to using USB instead of PS2 for KB/mouse combo?
Please help!

Hi,
I (and many others have exactly the same problem). So it is not a single failure we are talking about here.
My guess is there is a bad batch of Motherboards where PS2 just does not work.
It seems to me the problem is that when the PSU is powering the motherboard in standby the PS2 peripherals get too low a voltage , the LEDs are very dim, and thus the keyboard and mouse do not boot properly in standby mode before power on.
I am not sure that MSI will be able to fix this with a BIOS patch, i have had to purchase a USB keyboard and Mouse.
Really this should be flagged up as an official problem.
I already contacted MSI support, and they said to check all the settings in the power management with regards 5V standby, but there arent any options for that, and i have tried every combination without any luck..
Very annoying.. i think we are going to see more and more of these reports as people build in this batch of neo2s..
It probably warrants an RMA (unless a BIOS patch comes out) but its too much hassle to unbuild and wait a few weeks to get a newone for me.
There are problems with the CPU temp reporting in bios 1 and 1.1 (1.2 is better but still temps are reported 3-4oC too high). floppy drives are causing problems, as is SATA raid at boot.
hope this helps

K8N Neo Platinum general OCing problems

something is definitely whack here. I can run totally stable at HTT 225 (11x, 4x, 1:1) but if i try for HTT 226 it refuses to boot no matter what (even at 4x, 1x,

got same rig cept 4 memory
did same oc didnt bother with clockgen memory on nearly same settings as yours runs long term stable @225
will run fine at 226 until load > bout 85% on cpu then has a tendency to reboot.
did this a while back have more or less accepted thats the wall.
like this set up as it maxed my mem b/width rather than other permutations May try tweaking vcore a little more havnt had to really push it to get there, at least not quiet as much as other pps

USB mouse problem - K8N Neo Platinum

I have a Razer Boomslang 2000 USB mouse. Ever since I got my new motherboard, the K8N Neo Platinum, It has problems when i turn the power for a long time - overnight. When I turn it back on in the morning the mouse refuses to work. I then have to manually pull it out of the USB port and plug it back in, in order for it to work. This is extremely frustrating.
I have windows xp pro sp1 all fully up-to-date and the latest 1.2 bios and 5.03 chipset drivers.
Any ideas on how I could fix this ??
System
AMD Athlon64 3200+ Newcastle
MSI K8N Neo Platinum

Hi Dread,
I also have this problem with the same motherboard as you. This was the case with my K7N2 DELTA as well. Solved the problem by using an USB - PS2 adapter.

K8N Neo Platinum hangs at "Initializing Keyboard Controller" step in POST

Hi Folks,
Here is my system:
MSI K8N Neo Platinum (New in box) (no clue on bios version, as I can't access it yet)
Athlon 64 3200+ 2200Mhz, 640Kb Cache
Thermaltake CL-P0025 Silent Tower CPU Cooler (VERY careful installing this)
2x512MB Mushkin 991460 EM3200 400Mhz DDR (
ATI AIW Pro X800XT (AGP)
OCZ ModStream 450W PS (3.3/28A, 5/45A, 12/26A, 220W/312W)
WD 74GB Raptor
Plextor 712A DVD/CD (SATA)
Here is my dilema: box powers up, POST stops at "Initializing Keyboard Controller". ( I know this because the little lights on the D-bracket tell me so.....:-) I have been on these forums as well as AMD's forums all day now, and have tried everything suggested, except swapping PS. But I think I have an adequate model.
One by one, I have disconnected any sources of possible problems. I have reset my bios too many times to count. I have isolated the MB outside of the case. I have re-seated everything numerous times. I changed Bios battery. I've swapped RAM, and it's positions. Even took it all off. I even bought another K8N from Ebay, and have the exact same results. At no time has the status lights displayed anything different, except for a quick change in color of light number 3 when I do a front-panel reset. Right now I have nothing but the processor on the board and I still have the same result; POST hanging at "Initializing keyboard controller". I have swapped keyboards unplugged the keyboard.
I am leaning toward the processor now. What am I missing? Should I just do an RMA and be done with it?
Suggestions encouraged......
James

Bowen,
I've got an old Asus P2B that still runs like a champ, although slow by todays standards. You are right about it being rock solid, I have never had a problem with it, not one. As a matter of fact I still have it and I use it for my "linux box". Oops, a little off topic.
Anyway, it looks like MSI received the board today. I will start the stopwatch and see how long it takes to get a replacement board. I'll keep you guys posted.
James
Yeah those boards were the best I've seen. The Intel 865 chipsets are pretty good too. My previous 845 based mobo was nice as well. In the past, using VIA boards have been hit and miss with me. The K8T800/Pro and K8T900/Pro seem to be very stable though...still I would get an nForce 4 chipset over the newest VIA boards.
This is OT but I just received my shiny new BFG GeForce 7800 GTX OC card a few days ago and I was very surprised at it's performance. I was using a crappy Radeon X300 because I needed a temp card until I could buy either a 7800 GTX or the upcoming Radeon X900 XT. My last system I had a Radeon 9800 Pro and it ran flawlessly. I only had one problem with that card and it was driver related to only one game. The game was Call of Duty and that issue was resolved by going down to an older driver, but then ATi corrected the problem with a new driver release. Anyway as fast as the 7800 GTX is, I hated it! The reason is that despite it's awesome speed; the only way I can put it, is that it doesn't run games as smooth as Radeon's do. It was especially bad with Battlefield 2. This is ironic because BF2 is supposed to be optimized for nVidia cards.
It has a bad stuttering problem with BF2 and allot of people have this issue. Some have this problem with ATi cards but most are nVidia users. Even when I set the quality down to the same settings as my 9800P was at, it did the same thing. Other games like Counter-Strike: Source ran fine unless you had bots. Heh, even my slow X300 ran games more smoothly (not faster and at a much lower resolution and quality setting but still smoother) than the 7800 GTX. I sent the card back and I'm getting a full refund. I'm waiting on ATi to release their X900 XT and I'll buy that. What's strange is that prior to buying my 9800P two years ago, I had only used nVidia cards since the TnT2. Well times have changed I guess. Oh well, I guess I had to learn the hard way, but at least this way I know I'm getting the right card!
